"the stephanie miller show" will not be held responsible for anything we're saying this week. we don't even know what we're saying. administration officials have expressed concern the sophisticated weapons fall into the hands of islamic extremists threatening aircraft. excuse me, i almost also -- >> drunk. >> stephanie: political and military divisions might prove problematic to influence the conflict. >> yeah, let's go in!

>> stephanie: a veteran syria watcher. >> i'm watching you! >> stephanie: is that just a girl watcher? i'm only seeing you syria. >> i'm not serious about anyone else. >> stephanie: look, i was not looking at turkey. turkey? i was not looking at turkey. i'm only watching you. >> turkey? >> stephanie: i can only see you, turkey. ♪ i only have eyes for you. >> stephanie: this is like unusual only worse in terms of vacation weeks. anyway this analyst was saying it is unlikely to do much to turn the tide of the war. jury is out on what this is going to do and anyway, he said he has to turn the keystone cops into a fighting force that's competent and won't carry out human rights violations. so far they've shown nothing but incompetence. several officials have made similar arguments over the last two years and the administration interestingly susan rice and john kerry have argued for a more active u.s. role in syria.

so now, john mccain will love susan rice. noy, john mccain and lind is i graham will say we've always said that we love -- we like -- can we go back and confirm? why can't she be secretary of state? why? after you! no you first. >> after you. >> oh, no, you first. thank you. >> stephanie: have always loved that susan that hawky susan rice. >> stephanie: benjamin, the white house national security director. >> i can't give you a specific timeline or itemized list of what that assistant says and when it will get there. >> that would probably not be wise. here's what we're sending. >> and here's when it will arrive. >> stephanie: and exactly where you might find those. >> here are the coordinates. >> stephanie: benjamin rhodes again. >> we don't think it is in our national interest to introduce u.s. troops. we need to be humble about our ability to solve a problem like syria. certainly on our own.

about, the more than 90,000 fay at that time ils are the result of a civil war not genocide. human rights violations have been committed on both sides. >> which side are you on, boys? >> we've determined that assad has killed about 100 to 150 people with chemical weapons. how did he kill the other 93,000? it's just -- what the president did was he gave him the red line but gave him a green light to do everything else. >> stephanie: hush, grampy. >> i think lawn darts are slip and slides. >> stephanie: most were lawn dart accidents. okay. at any rate, yes as i just said, it is a civil war. not genocide. he knows that. here we go again. it is just the same people and the same rhetoric that have still never apologized for wrong thing they've said about iraq. all right. don't you think on the sunday

shows, you know senator mccain, we feel it is only fair to present you with things you're wrong about before we get your advice on the latest ill-advised. >> i'm sure david gregory is all over that. >> too bad mccain will only go on "meet the press" and fox news sunday. he will ago on a show that will actually ask him actual questions. >> announcer: stephanie miller. >> stephanie: come on, grampy, we have pie. right back with more on this on "the stephanie miller show." >> at least it is a good place to see celebrities. >> announcer: it's "the stephanie miller show."

this were a bush or nixon would you be so blase about it? i would say no. there is enough hypocrisy to go around. bill maher again there's been some strange bedfellows on this issue. it was actually last week's and he said you know, big stories of the nsa thing and reading from the "usa today" and you know, blah blah, blah, and this massive amount of data, this is from 2006. panel your move. you know. he goes to the point what is new about this? >> right. but what i think is -- i think what the reason why this is getting so much traction -- first of all the biggest reason is because obama had actively spoken out against the program in 2007 and 2006. and so -- >> stephanie: okay. let me just say, do you think you do not see different intelligence and make different decisions when you're the president than do you when you're a senator?

>> do we in retrospect forgive george w. bush? >> stephanie: no. because, as i say here's my favorite thing you wrote. rude pundit doesn't buy the obama is as bad as bush. when obama authorizes torture and crashes the economy, we can talk. but the unconstitutionallizing of -- institutionalizing is part of the obama legacy. go ahead. >> this is not film to say that he is as bad as bush to say there's one area that he is following in bush's footsteps and in some ways, has our ability to do surveillance on a massive scale has increased so has that surveillance. >> stephanie: well, you know you probably saw michael hayden on the sunday shows who is the head of this under bush. he said look, obama is doing this with much more transparency than we did. he's doing it -- everything obama has said with more

oversight and more checks and balances. you can have the whole discussion. should we be doing any of it in the first place. i had alan grayson on last week who i love. we have to have agitators and great liberals but his bill, when the president said you didn't have 100% security and 100% privacy his bill would give us 100% privacy but i don't think it's workable. >> i think i said last week, my take is this is happening. we now know it is happening. that it's not not going to happen. and even if they craft a bill, believe me there will be some way around that bill to do the kind of surveillance. for me it is more of an okay, now what do we do kind of situation? i don't think the conversation actually can be had of how can we stop this from happening? what can we do about it. instead it needs to be how do we ensure that it's done

responsibly. i don't buy that the fisa court is the responsible way to do it. but even though it is -- you know at least a bandage of oversight on this gaping wound but for me, the discussion is what happens now not how do we put the genie back in the bottle. >> there's a lot of talk about government overreach. i'm more worry -- worried about private companies. >> private companies aren't covered by the constitution. >> whatever is profitable, they're going to do. no matter how evil. >> this is where i am. i am -- all right now what do we do? let's have that discussion because the other discussion is over. we lost. >> stephanie: yeah. well, here's the thing. i was reading in the paper top u.s. intelligence official said saturday information gleaned from these two programs foiled plots in the u.s. and more than

20 other countries. you know, someone like jim i get. it is like you're nationally skeptical of government in general but you don't really think this has not foiled any terrorist plottings, do you? i know when they said foil one plot, you're like sure. but you don't possibly think we haven't foiled terrorist plots with this program. >> sure we have. >> i want them to tell me. just choose one. choose one and show me how that terrorist plot was foiled by using this information and that was the only way that we were going to get that information. and again this is me sort of arguing against what i just previously said. >> stephanie: i wasn't going to be rude enough to point that out. it is your job to be rude. >> there are screwy things like the underwear bomber where the guy went through without a ticket or a passport. the whole thing was filmed.

screwy stuff like that. >> you know, gayle collins this weekend, writing about the guy who was arrested for the madrid bombing even though he was demonstrably not in madrid. >> and some of the 9-11 hijackers who were still alive -- counter enfewtive. >> stephanie: we have people on either side of the issue we trust or don't trust. when dick cheney opens his crooked pie hole, we're like shut up. >> more surveillance. send me more videos of children. children that are being bought -- never mind. go to a very dark place. i'll stop right now. >> stephanie: now we're going to play it for you. >> what do you think of that, snowden? >> i think he's a traitor. you on a -- look in the mirror. >> violating agreements given the position he had. he was a contractor employee but he obviously had been granted

top-secret clearance. i think it is one of the worst occasions in my memory of somebody with access to classified information doing enormous damage. >> that would be you actually. >> stephanie: that would be awful. >> that would be 9-11 actually. >> stephanie: that would be awful if somebody were to out a c.i.a. agent during wartime. >> i think somebody ought to shoot him in the face. [ laughter ] >> you know what i love about cheney, the older and weaker gets, the more evil he sounds. >> stephanie: was he just talking about privatization? that would be horrible if somebody let a company like halliburton or blackwater get involved in some other foreign war. that would be awful. >> that, to me is also something that deserves discussion is the use of private government contractors for surveillance. you know. i think even some members of congress are saying yeah, maybe we need people that take an oath of office to protect the constitution, to be in charge of

this. not just -- not just in the sense of the whistle-blowers -- and then -- i think i said this last week. if the intelligence organizations that vetted snowden didn't figure out he was this sociopath or there was some writer this week that said you know, if you take away his girlfriend, he's just like -- he has the profile of a mass shooter. >> what? >> yeah. jonathan roush was the writer who said that on twitter. i thought wow! that means our intelligence agencies suck! if they can't figure out they're hiring a mass shooter. >> stephanie: right. well,ives going to say rude, going back to your question earlier, i think they did release enough about the new york subway thing that does seem like this program had something to do but again i think that's the other hard thing is someone was saying when you're talking about classified stuff, you can't release every detail. you can't release the details

because that's going to -- i don't know. they also said last year, fewer than 300 phone numbers were checked against the database of millions of u.s. phone records geared by the nsa. >> but james clapper said under oath that they weren't doing this. so, you know -- >> stephanie: he did do a clintonesque. >> let me also offer -- i actually have sympathy for clapper in that situation. he was asked point-blank you know, can you tell us some classified information. and that look on his face of -- oh! do i -- now -- >> he just said clap off. >> stephanie: clapper off clapper on. >> can we get a bomb threat in here please? [ laughter ] >> stephanie: all right. rude. >> firecracker, something, smoke bomb. >> stephanie:iate stuff as always -- great stuff as always, honey. you'll be on next week, yes? >> with magnificent hal.

[ laughter ] hey, wayne, we were saying you're a prolific tweeter and retweeter. you just tweeted something about this whole nsa thing. about the spying stuff. >> oh, yeah, i mean, i think my political bench is perhaps similar to yours. i have a tattoo of debbie wasserman schulz on my arm. >> stephanie: i think you just made that up, wayne knight. >> it took a lot of ink to replicate the hair. >> that's a lot of hair. >> stephanie: i thought i was the only one. but you're not -- the nsa stuff

though it's tough stuff isn't it? people on both sides of the aisle that are you know, surprising bedfellows on this one. >> it is surprising that people are surprised. this stuff has been going on as long as i can remember. we knew it was international. i just think it is surprising it is domestic, as well. but you know, i know that when i was able to be photographed by my bank, by the street corner, by the traffic light things were happening. >> stephanie: you know what's interesting though, wayne is they were just talking about that's probably the key reason they caught the boston marathon bombers because of video surveillance. you're right. you go are we giving up privacy? absolutely. >> yeah. that's the justification. i think that really what we found is people in america are intolerant of the vagaries of human life.

sometimes horrible things happen. we're not tolerant of that so we would rather give up our freedom which i find -- >> franklin is spinning in his grave right now. >> stephanie: we have no information on that. but maybe the nsa does as to whether he's spinning. wayne, you know it's interesting. we just played a dick cheney clip. we're just like -- when you agree -- >> maybe we should get dick cheney on tv land because that's funny stuff. >> stephanie: exactly. guy that shot you in the face with the dinosaur goo. >> dick cheney had shot me in the face with the dinosaur goo i would be dead. >> there's people in the world i know, i look in the mirror every morning. >> stephanie: he's like some sort of creepy, scary character in some film you would be in here. he's not even real. he gets creepier. >> god bless him. he will live to be 180.

>> if i only had a heart. which i don't literally. >> stephanie: i remember somebody said that about their grandmother. she's too mean to die. could be. who knows. so wayne the ex-s on tv land is premiering wednesday. >> you know, they're very similar, those days. >> stephanie: i apologize for getting those wrong. >> that's all right. as long as somebody watches. it doesn't have to be you personally stephanie. as long as people do come. >> stephanie: now i feel compelled to watch. >> well, good. >> stephanie: particularly because i'm a huge -- >> i will be following you on twitter so i will find out. >> stephanie: i know you will. i know you will. >> wayne already followed me this morning. >> stephanie: yikes. i will watch because i'm a huge fan. wayne, great to talk to you. we'll talk again soon. >> thank you very much. >> stephanie: what a nice guy!

[ applause ] he's funny. >> he was on the plane with us to charlotte. >> stephanie: i wasn't talking about the scream. i like the thing he does before that. oh okay, all right. >> that must have been a miserable shoot because it was pouring rain and he has to get shot in the face with dinosaur vomit. >> stephanie: dinosaur porn film. don in illinois, you're on "the stephanie miller show." >> caller: hi, stephanie. i want to say something about this goofy serial war that mccain is trying to get us into. if he succeeds, instead of losing 4,000 g.i.s in ten years, we'll end up losing them in one battle that, many of them. not only that, it seems like all of the so-called war hawks they all start coming up with the same rhetoric like you mentioned but you know, now they're talking about the humanitarian thing. well, if i recall, mogadishu was supposed to be humanitarian, taking the food supplements from

his people and killing them off. we sent a company of g.i.s in there. 18 of them were killed. then, there was iraq. saddam hussein. another false comment about having weapons of mass destruction. well, we get rid of their dictator and it becomes a stable environment and opens up a pandora's box. and not only that, when we were training them, they turned against us and started shooting our g.i.s. >> stephanie: right. clinton may be wrong. clinton may be the mogadishu not a -- >> oh, yeah. then there's iran, too. gadhafi. they wait for the first excuse to go ahead and attack an american consulate and kill four of our diplomats. and then there's afghanistan. mr. moneybags himself. karzai. >> stephanie: more on syria as we continue on "the stephanie miller show."

>> i don't know what that means. >> stephanie: eric boehlert from media matters who we love. good morning, eric boehlert. >> good morning. >> stephanie: i could subsist on a diet of chardonnay and your tweets almost entirely. we've been talking about syria this morning. we've been having flashbacks. besides lining the country with a $3 billion war, it is the worst use of power imaginable. it really is unbelievable. right to listen to dick cheney. >> right. he's going to lecture the abuses of power and the i.r.s. story hasn't gone anywhere. the right wing and fox and everyone is desperately trying to land the whole thing. you know, in the west wing. it is just not happening. over and over again. it is the same story told by the cincinnati -- they came up with the red flag.

they started look at it. but the serious thing you know, again over the weekend you know, all of these sort of -- obvious knee-jerk reaction, knee-jerk criticism from the right. to people who told us, you know, the iraq war would be over in 90 days. so, you know, you would think that after that sort of colossal foreign policy failure that they would show a little humility and not lecture a democratic president about foreign policy. >> stephanie: i'm fine with them having john mccain on every week as long as there is a chyron that says that everything they've asked him about turned out to be wrong. right. you say, of course, there should be debate about white house and syria policy, just shouldn't be led by people who said the iraq invasion would be a 90-day war. that's troubling. we were just saying we just played a john mccain thing about he only killed 100 people. what about the other 90,000.

90,000 died in a civil war, not because of genocide. we have these neocons that got us into iraq and here they go again. >> stephanie: a certain irony in terms of mccain and others arguing with this red line about chemical weapons when you know, the united states and others have now confirmed there's chemical weapons and that will trigger a foreign policy move. these are the same people claiming we should invade an entire country one of the largest players you know, in the near east because we think they have chemical weapons or they might use them one day. there is a certain irony in objecting to chemical weapons being at the center of the bush -- of the obama foreign policy. >> stephanie: exactly. you say please, please, please, iraq war cheerleaders, keep lecturing obama about how his

mideastern approach is all wrong. >> the press has let them get away with this. whenever there's foreign policy question, all of the neocons are immediately ushered on to television or offered to write op-ed pieces. the way american foreign policy should be. just got everything wrong in a massive $3 trillion way. the reason there's no humility is the press hasn't held most of the people accountable. >> stephanie: when i'm reading "the new york times" op-ed this weekend, i thought i was having an iraq flashback. the responsible role of a lone superpower is to help enable conflict resolution while maintaining the neutrality. inadvertently reverting fear but caused by american's involvement in the iraq war. like you say, they seem to learn

nothing from recent history. >> syria is a complicated matter and has been for a year or two now. no matter what the united states does, there is going to be wide ranging implications. if we sit it out we'll see resentment. if we get involved, we'll fuel resentment. it is middle east. it has been bedeviling presidents for more than half a century now. so that's not really new or that's not a reason to not do something. when no matter what the united states does -- >> stephanie: never enough for john mccain. never big enough weapons. guess what. we're backing a side that has al-qaeda rebels involved. clearly needs to be -- he's yelled about a no-fly zone. it is complicated what's going on on the ground. it is not something you can do from the air. it seems like everything is just -- it is a way of saying whatever obama is doing it's wrong. >> right. that's what it comes down to. it comes down to sadly a

knee-jerk response which in the old days there used to be attempt to coalesce around a coherent foreign policy. but recently, that becomes less and less possible because no matter what the obamas do, whether it is the hotels they stay in when they go overseas, something trivial or something deadly serious like syria the starting point is you know, they're wrong. we'll explain why. even though, again, all of this on the premise that they just came off this colossal you know, deadly and costly foreign policy failure. >> stephanie: it was probably tough to hush out some sean hannity hypocrisy. of course you tweeted. sean hannity data mining protects americans. sean hannity now data mining is against americans.

he plays gotcha with video. >> media matters has this great video last week. it was so specific. so detailed. that's what made it -- you know, the whole data mining and the whole nsa certain amount of hypocrisy but to see here, sean hannity talk specifically about the nsa data mining and how crucial it was and how such an important weapon and the fight against terrorism when bush was president. >> but now it's completely different. >> they've got dark mousse and the haunting soundtrack. it is institutional. suddenly data mining is tyranny. oh, my god he doesn't even try. >> stephanie: you know what -- >> the viewers they just go along with it, too. >> stephanie: as michael hayden said, except obama is doing it with much more transparency and many more checks and balances than we did in the bush administration. >> someone who saw up close both bush and obama and saying

clearly, there is a difference. none of that matters. that's not the doeser that people want to tell at this point. >> stephanie: in this one you said on the six-month anniversary of the newtown massacre, fox and friends ignore the hype robust gun sales. that's the real victory of newtown. >> yeah. so the six-month anniversary was friday morning i think. no mention of the victims no mention of the gun massacre. no mention of any of that. but they kept talking kind of incessantly about gun sales are up and ammo sales are up. without even trying -- >> thank goodness. so many kids remain unshot. >> the idea that you know, gun sales are good. and you know this is great. and this is -- this is what the debate should be about. no class whatsoever. >> stephanie: america [ bleep ], yeah. eric, great stuff as always and some stuff i missed. >> there you go. >> stephanie: you alerted me once again. thanks so much.

hal will talk to you next week. see ya, bye! [ applause ] would you like the not so fun facts? >> by the way. we're having some supreme court decisions coming down and none of them have to do with doma or marriage or anything like that but they released three you know decisions on stuff we've never heard of. puppies are cute. >> stephanie: right. >> one of them has to do with jury rulings and big pharma. >> stephanie: okay. anything about internet kitten videos? >> no. they're expecting five rulings today. three have come down. >> they have ruled andy dick is aptly named. >> stephanie: thank you jim. i missed that. >> elena kagan was the holdout on that one. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: i was talking about the op-ed piece in the "new york times." not so fun facts. syrian revolution isn't democratic or secular. more than 90,000 fatalities

result of genocide. john mccain, human rights violations have been committed on both sides. more of the rebels don't have a support or trust of the clear majority of the population. and the political opposition is neither credible nor representative. ethnic cleansing is more likely to occur under a rebel-led government than under assad. chemical kens only grows as the regime weakens. some good points. you can agree or disagree. final a rebel victory is more likely in the inevitable disorder of a post-assad syria constitutes a greater threat than the status quo. again, why it is good to perhaps think some things through or perhaps know even the difference between shiites before you say invade iraq. >> if you have an actual leader to talk to. it is better than the ragtag bunch of -- >> stephanie: and you're going to perhaps strengthen iran by invading iraq. >> iran has nominated a moderate or elected a moderate to president.

so no more i'm -- jacket. >> stephanie: the revolution in syria involves up-ending a sector aian order and it disrupts the balance. smys rebels with arms or establishing a no-fly zone or half measures likely to advance an end game that alters mr. assad's chances, to step aside. the conflict without contributing toward a decisive end. more important by arming the rebels, mr. obama is not placing the u.s. in open proxy war. that will be awkward at the g8. broader and more valuable american interests empowering american-favored rebel forces to confront the hard line of the groups fighting against assad may backfire in intensive rivalries causing the fault lines to break down further and turn the hard line islamists

against western-backed rebels. mr. assad will be fighting insurgencies and fighting itself. he ends by saying mr. obama would have been wise to make a forceful diplomatic push first before the knee eve at a of the critics. syria is like iraq except worse. yikes. so that's kind of a dark view of what might happen. i think it's why when you hear a lot of the same themes before we heard before we went into iraq by the same people, it is time to hit the pause button, shall we just say and think that through. >> four decisions have come out. we're waiting for one more. so we're on -- twitter is just like on pins and needles right now. >> stephanie: all right. we'll be back. >> the grumpy cat is not really grumpy. >> stephanie: all of the latest. >> supreme court, i'm happy for you and i'm going to let you finish but june 2012 had the most exciting decisions of all-time. that was a kanye west joke.

but i mainly called you to talk about how naive i think a lot of people are being about this whole nsa thing. come on. i mean the counter intelligence program of the '60s. why america is once again having a black experience. >> stephanie: i think it's more technology than anything. that's one of the things they were talking about in the last few years. it has gotten more high tech is what's happened. >> right now, i could get on google if i had your address and see -- went to the bathroom this morning in your yard. anybody can do that. so my whole thing is you just gotta live your life. like they said in the movie we can't handle the truth. we don't know a lot of things. and i don't want to know.

so, you know, i think move on. and you can't have everything both ways. you just can't. that's the world we live in. >> stephanie: i think the thing the president said. mostly is you can't have 100% security and 100% privacy. i think we're arguing over the balance right now, you know? >> caller: exactly. and what can you do? because as i've said, tell you about that program. it's been going on for a long time. you can't expect -- you can't read minds. where do they think they get this information from? you can't get in anybody's head. >> stephanie: right. >> so far. >> stephanie: they were saying obviously this weekend clearly this has terrorist plots, i don't think there's any reasonable person who can say this hasn't thwarted plots. a lot of people agreed with that look, you know, what's going to take away the most freedom is if there is another 9-11, you know. >> caller: right. what are you worried about -- if you're not doing anything, you

know, why would you really care? >> that's a slippery slope. if you think you're not doing anything wrong unless somebody decides you're doing something wrong. >> caller: like i said, with the counter intelligence program that went on in the black community, a 5-year-old in the hood can tell you who the dope man is. but we can't figure out how the drugs are getting in the country? give me a break. really? >> stephanie: i hear ya. as i was saying last year, they say fewer than 300 phone numbers were checked against the database of millions of u.s. phone records gathered by the nsa. senator saxby chambliss by the way, republican of alabama on snowden. >> he needs to look at american jury in the eye and explain why he has put american lives in danger. >> stephanie: june in wisconsin on snowden. hello, june. >> hello. well, first of all i gotta tell you, i just love you. love you. you're sharp. you're witty and you're right on

point. >> stephanie: thank you. >> caller: you're welcome. now, you know what? this nsa -- okay, i am not upset because the government is monitoring us. i've known it all along. that's what they do but what bothers me is the treason behind the guy releasing the secrets. i mean who is this person to say eh, i don't think what they're doing is right so i'm just going to let the whole world know -- >> whistle-blowers though. >> stephanie: june, we're going to get this audio for tomorrow. but bill maher last week said the big story is the nsa and all of this data gathering and i'm reading from the "usa today" and blah, blah ballparks, and this is happening and it is from 2006. he said panel you're -- your move. right? this is not -- that's what we keep saying is this is not something new that he's blown the lid off. that's what classic whistle blowing is. again, it is an argument that we

should be having and we are having about the degree of this but it is not -- i love this headline. most senators skipped a classified nsa briefing to fly home early. all of those screaming. >> that pissed me off. >> stephanie: many senators and congress members were taken off guard by last week's revelations. [ ♪ "nbc nightly news" ♪ ] the nsa decided to hold a classified briefing about their spying program wound could imagine members of the senate would be there to learn how the programs are helping or not by fighting terrorism. only 47 of the 100 senators came to the briefing thursday afternoon. the rest opting to take a long father's day weekend. >> which party? >> stephanie: they briefed a whole lot of empty chairs in the secure bug roof room. dianne feinstein said we've got alexander, the fbi, the justice department. we had the fisa court here. we have clapper there and people are leaving. so you know what i'm saying. >> oh, my god. >> stephanie: shut your pie

hole, all of yas. >> they should suspend their pay if they're not doing their job. >> stephanie: they have time to go on tv and scream about it. obama overreach scary. the briefing, no, i did not. >> even democrats skipping it is ineeks cuesable. inexcusable. >> stephanie: we'll update you on what's coming down from the supreme court as we continue on "the stephanie miller show." >> announcer: there's a tea party in her pants and you're invited. call now. 1-800-steph-12. to the fire. are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night? is this personal, or is it political? a lot of my work happens by doing the things that i'm given to doing anyway, by staying in touch with everything that is going on politically and putting my own nuance on it.

in reality it's not like they actually care. this is purely about political grandstanding. i've worn lots of hats, but i've always kept this going. i've been doing politics now for a dozen years. (vo) he's been called the epic politics man. he's michael shure and his arena is the war room. >> these republicans in congress that think the world ends at the atlantic ocean border and pacific ocean border. the bloggers and the people that are sort of compiling the best of the day. i do a lot of looking at those people as well. not only does senator rubio just care about rich people, but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. but we do care about them right?

cenk off air alright in 15 minutes we're going to do the young turks! i think the number 1 thing than viewers like about the young turks is that were honest. they know that i'm not bsing them for some hidden agenda, actually supporting one party or the other. when the democrats are wrong, they know i'm going to be the first one to call them out.

cenk on air>> what's unacceptable is how washington continues to screw the middle class over. cenk off air i don't want the middle class taking the brunt of the spending cuts and all the different programs that wind up hurting the middle class. cenk on air you got to go to the local level, the state level and we have to fight hard to make sure they can't buy our politics anymore. cenk off air and they can question if i'm right about that. but i think the audience gets that, i actually mean it. cenk on air 3 trillion dollars in spending cuts! narrator uniquely progressive and always topical the worlds largest online news show is on current tv. cenk off air and i think the audience gets, "this guys to best of his abilities is trying to look out for us." only on current tv!

they were, you know, asking for data. they sometimes had to hand-deliver it to the government. since then, the technology has gotten so much more streamlined. >> yeah. like when i was working, i was working in -- toward the end, i was making up the blue book for the master security council but anyway my clearances were top secret code word. then you had top secret no foreign which meant no foreign nationals. then australia canada only. everything was classified like that. >> stephanie: yep. >> caller: they got this thing on gchq now. of course we've been sharing information with them since the '50s. >> stephanie: harold, thank you. interesting perspective. somebody jim was talking, it was hoover, they had to go physically put the recording machine under martin luther

the forerunner to prism that seized records from internet companies as laws change and technology improved, the government and industry moved toward a streamlined electronic process which required less time from the companies. so, you know, it is interesting. they were quoting the president. i remember him saying this. i came in with a healthy skepticism about the programs. my team evaluated. we scrubbed them thoroughly. we increased the safeguards which is what michael hayden said who ran it under bush and under obama. and the thing about 100% security 100% privacy. obama's security credited with disrupting terrorist attacks. head of cyber crime said you can't expect the president to use a legal tool. congress has given him the tool. the president is using it and the courts are saying the way you're using it is okay. the checks and balances are at work. so, you know, obviously that's one point of view. other people think it is

overreaching but it just -- as i said earlier i love alan grayson. i don't see how you -- his bill, as far as i can see says stop entirely. how can you do that? then we have 100% privacy. what percent security is that? if you're not screening any phone or internet stuff? >> it is a sticky wicket. >> stephanie: it is. i see. because i use -- now, you think is okay for you to use it. >> i said it first. >> stephanie: now we're having a situation.

affordable care act that much loathed government takeover 1/6 of the economy is moving from beltway gasbags and characterrists into the hands of consumers. fate will be determined by the countless anecdotes of people who apply the law to their lives. as early indications are most americans will be pleasantly surprised. millions of people shopping and comparing prices on the exchanges are likely to get far better coverage for the same or less money than they pay now. the law as honest conservatives predicted before they orphaned their own idea is injecting competnice a market dominated by a few big names. it was bob dole's plan. he also said his party bob dole's party is -- >> bob dole's party. >> backwards. >> stephanie: right. you won't hear this from the entrenched forces but $400 million denouncing the law. karl rove's crossroads gps have good reason to fear it. if obamacare work, it will be game over, man.
