4:33 pm
only isis could love. while the bill would make it illegal to collect phone data in bulk, information would still be held by telecommunications providers in the nsa would be able to access records with a court order. lawmakers have until june 4 two find a compromise. for more on this i want to get to tom kellerman, and shawn henry of cloud strike. this doesn't roll back the dragnet completely. someone stronger action taken. what do you want? guests: i want security and privacy creed you're never going to have 100% privacy and security. that is impossible. you have people who are going to get hurt or killed. the lawmakers are looking at this as pandering to their

constituencies and focusing on the privacy issues, and not weighing in the security aspects. it is important we not throw everything out completely without looking at security where it has taken us, and the value it brings to safety of americans globally. emily: you were obama's first cyber security officer. are we compromising? guests: 20 in a fight what the weaknesses are and anderson with the vulnerabilities are, i agree with sean and that there needs to be pfizer reform -- fuiisa reform. we need to continue the preeminence of the nsa. emily: how do you expect this to play out? our phone records are still rolling in to the nsa. some provisions in the patriot
4:35 pm
act are set to expire soon. that was a basis of the program in the first place. how does this play out? sean: there is going to be middle ground. there has to be accountability and oversight. our government needs to be held responsible for what they are doing in terms of collecting and how that is used with access to the data. that is critical. taking away all authorities to look at the data, to use it, but pieces of the puzzle together to disrupt terrorist attacks that is a huge challenge to national security. there will be some middle ground. potentially with access through the carriers and having them how's it. i don't know that is fully effective but that may wear beware this land. emily: ball collection was exposed by edward snowden.
