brought down twa flight 800. but up front, worries the chinese are going to keep whistle blower edward snowden, draining him of everything he knows. president obama is warning them today not to drag their feet when it comes to extraditing the connell putder expert to leaked the fact. the nsa has been see crestly harvesting billions of our tell phone and internet records. >> over time that awareness of wrongdoing builds up and you feel compelled to talk about. >> one of the most shocking elements of the edward snowden whistle blower case is he was not working for the federal government but a private contractor at the time he made the various disclosers, company called booze r allen hamilton. our next guest is the former
7:02 pm
director of the central intelligence agency himself. he is ambassador james, and we welcome him on board. isn't it worrisome that companies like booz allen hamilton have access to this very, very sensitive and private information? if you don't want them to have security clearances and to be doing some of the work that civil servants would normally do, then you need to loosen up on barriers to hire civil servants, and and contractors are asked to basically supply people because the government hasn't had enough to do the job. >> you say we hire private contractors because congress won't hire us to hire civil servants, public employees. >> won't authorize enough to get the job done.
7:03 pm
i -- you know, we've had some pretty bad career people too. aldridge haynes and hanson. one in the cia, one with the fbi. being a career officer or agent doesn't necessarily mean you're not going to damage the united states. but everybody ought to be subjected to very serious background investigations and clearance procedures, and whether they're career or noncareer, they should. be violating their oath of office tharand their obligation with security clearance. >> given the fact that they should not violate this almost sacred trust, how are you reacting to the fact that edward snowden, the whistle blower, has substantial support among a pretty good -- pretty hefty hunk of the american people? >> i think it's good that the majority of the american people are not willing because i think the people who support him are
7:04 pm
quite misguided. >> any members of congress believe the fourth amendment is being tram pbled on, unwarranted or illegal search and seizure, that because of the enormous capabilities we have now, the government can find out anything they want to know about you at any time, they worry that you have a bureaucracy out of control with no checks and balances or insufficient emt checks and balances and that all of us are laid bare? >> i think the irs's misuse was a very bad thing but i have no reason to believe that our officials in the nsa, cia are violating the law. we do not spy on americans. the cia doesn't. as far as i know, neither does the nsa. >> as you sit there tonight are you comfortable they're not this abiebs big brother that so many
7:05 pm
particularly young people right now fear? >> right now i have a good deal more confidence in the cia and nsa than i do the internal revenue service. >> have you been audited lately? >> oh, yeah. it went true. >> is that true? >> yeah. no problem. >> but you're a democrat. >> i'm sure democrats are getting audited just like republicans. >> but it looks like unless you're a tea party person you're not getting the hammer unfairly. >> i do not allege a single thing wrong. it was conducted very professionally. i came out owing some money. it was not a big problem. >> i hope i didn't bring the heat down on you. >> they'll do the same thing next year they did this year. >> thanks a lot. >> thank you. >> they do not in listening to people's phone calls. do not involve reading the e-mails of u.s. citizens or u.s. residents. absent further action by a
7:06 pm
federal court -- >> the notion that we're trolling through everyone's e-mails and voyeuristically reading them or listening to everyone's phone calls is on its face absurd. we couldn't do it even if we wanted to, and i assure you, we don't want to. >> one of the congressmen really denouncing the secret surveillance and seedsure of american cell phone records is our friend from kansas, republican tom. is he telling the truth? >> i believe so. the president's indicate thad congress has been fully briefed, and i'll tell you we've asked question after question, actually sent a list of questions. tell us the details. they refused to answer the questions. meanwhile we don't read more and more about a program that i've about had no knowledge about. >> if congress has been breefd however incomplete the
7:07 pm
briefings, you did have an idea what was going on. why is it all of sudden this is so outrange to us, that all of a sudden we're fearful of big brother? >> i've always been fearful of big government and i think this is an epidemic problem not just on the intelligence side to. tell everybody who was briefed that's not true. >> what is your worry, that the irs or nsa or whoever else is doing with that data? >> i'm worried that they're collecting that data, that sometime yesterday or today they're invading the privacy of law-abiding individuals. they've admitted to do that and they're going to continue to do that. i think clearly when the president ran for office we have heard about it and now we're seeing today he's expanded upon
7:08 pm
those programs that he opposed five years ago. >> so is the president a hypocrite or a liar? >> i don't know for sure what the president knows but i know there are many things that have been report bud not told to congress. indeed clapper lied to congress about these particular programs and that's unacceptable. >> congressman tim huelskamp, thank you very much. up next, you'll meet another whistle blower. here he is. back in a flash. stay tuned. all business purchases.

7:11 pm
are divided, really, about the need for the secret surveillance programs and about whether this fellow snowden is a hero or a traitor. thomas drake knows more than most. he's a former whistle blower himself, prosecuted. he says persecuted under the
7:12 pm
espionage act. tom, thanks very much for being with us. originally you were charged with ten counts, including five under the espionage act. you were looking at life in prison. were these charges brought under the bush administration when you started your whistle blowing or the obama administration? >> actually the obama administrati administration. >> is it a fact that the obama administration is going after these more so than bush? >> ruthlessly. they're designed to go out for spies and whistle blowers. he's gone after more whistle blowers and truth terms and that all combined. >> they call you a traitor and a turn coat. >> yeah. a sort of benedict arnold in this country. >> is it true? were you? >> no. simply holding up the mirror in terms of holding up the wrong illegality. that became a criminal act. >> right. you were charged with ten counts
7:13 pm
under the espionage act facing life in prison. what did you ultimately get? >> i faced 35 years. i ended out pleading out with a minor misdemeanor. others are in jail, serve time in jail or are facing prison. >> do you consider yourself a hero or a disgruntled employee. >> just an american who took an oath during my government career. >> you told the truth as you saw it because you thought the government was doing something that was extra or unconstitutional. >> yes, particularly with respect to the secret surveillance program. i was there at the beginning when i first blue the whistle but i also blew the whistle on multi-billion dollar fraud. it was all necessary. nifr had to go to the dark side.
7:14 pm
>> do you identify with edward snowden? is he like you? >> it's a deja vu experience. he's certainly a whistle blower. >> what were the secrets that you were divulging? >> the fact that the white house in the greatest of secrecy shortly after 9/11 decided to enter into an arrangement with nsa in which they became the top agent for a top secret surveillance program that violated the existing ta substitute which means they violated the fourth amendment rights of americans and that was the foreign intelligence surveillance acts. >> and now we have the fisa courts. do you trust the judges in that? >> any changes at all in late 200126789 you have secret law, secret interpretations of the
7:15 pm
law. >> what about the argument that we need surveillance programs to protect us against terror, tom, and that, you know, if we didn't have these surveillance programs, there are at least 50 terrorist acts that could have been success pli completed, killing, maiming, disrupting the lives of americans. >> i'm not saying there's a need but i challenge the statement of the 50 terrorist events as they define them. how more be stopped or prevented on just the basis of the surveillance program. >> that's your situation. here we have edward snowden. do you not believe that he has damaged america's secret services in the way that our officials are now saying? >> not at all. they're going to hide behind the name that it has because mass security unfortunately has become the state religion on the secret side of government. you don't question it. the land of the free is only
7:16 pm
until you decide to disagree and it's only the home of the brave, hey, make sure you remain silent in the government provided digital case. >> all right. now, that sounds good. that's a great speech but you have to be very specific here. they say if you're talking to someone who's talking to one of these al qaeda operatives, then you should know about it. if the computer picks it up, then you get a search warrant, then you check it out, foil the plot. >> i'm not disagreeing with that. there's standing convention rules for that. why does verizon have to turn over all 100-plus million phone records? that's the equivalent of a general warrant that. constitutes a violation of the fourth amount. that's illegal secret law. that's compromising the privacy of 99.91 percent of the people. >> communist china is our enemy,
7:17 pm
communist china is not going to give him back. they're going to drain him of all of our secrets. wouldn't that disadvantage the united states and isn't he a traitor? >> that's not the full story. i don't know that we know the full story. hong kong has is own independence. ite not completely run by china. >> be that as it may, i disagree with that. you're not worried about that? >> i'm not worried about that at all. >> what are you doing in your life now that u you've taken this heroic view? >> i wouldn't consider it heroic. it used to be considered the best oath of government and i took the oath four times. >> what do you do now? >> i work in retail at an apple store. >> you work at an apple store. you can't -- >> you're blackballed, black lifted. >> i'm sorry for your own

report from french intelligence, it was nothing of the sort. >> so, jim, despite all of these witnesses who say they saw a missile trail going from ground to the air, you discount all that. >> well, look. i don't discount any of the eyewitnesses. we interviewed all the eyewitnesses multiple times. let me tell you. about 85% of the eyewitnesses looked up at the sky when they heard the bang and that means from the study of physics, speed of sound versus speed of light, all those witnesses looked up either 33 seconds or up to 53 seconds after. so they were already looking at a plane that had already blown up. >> so you think it was the sound of the plane blowing up made them look. >> in about 80% of the cases we asked them why they looked up. they said they heard a sound. >> geraldo, you more than anybody else knows eye witnesses

[ screaming ] >> you think he is yelling help? >> yes. >> what is your -- phone number. >> there's gun shots. >> you just heard gun shots? >> yes. >> this morning judge debra
7:52 pm
nelson, i'm sure you heard about this, ruled that two voice identification experts will not be allowed to testify that that voice was trayvon martin. that seals the deal, in my view, ensuring that george zimmerman's acquittal will happen, even before the trial gets started. i think the defense wins this and the prosecution loses this. let's hear from two terrific experts that may see it differencely. that is faith jenkins on your right and former nypd detective, welcome both of you. so, faith i think here is a couple of obstacles. first of all, it was a merky circumstance, that was why zimmerman was not arrested for over 40 days. the police saw his self defense claim having weight and merit, it was not until people started to complain and demonstrate that
7:53 pm
the state prosecutor, especial prosecutor was apointed, the steep climb that the cops saw was the thread of hope that they had was if that was trayvon martin screaming for help on the 9-1-1 tape, he was the one in fear, and he was the one being assaulted, not the other way around as george zimmerman claims self defense and all the rest of it. now the experts that the prosecution had lined up can't testify, i think this thing is a slam dunk. >> well, i don't agree with you about the slam dunk. this case was very difficult from the very beginning. the main reason being there were only two people there to wins this incident -- to witness this incident. one is dead and one has injuries. that was the difficulty at the beginning. although difficulty and although a up hill battle. i still think the state has a change, depending on this young woman that will come forward who said she was on the phone with trayvon martin the night that it
7:54 pm
happened. i don't think that george zimmerman will make a great witness on the stand. it's an up hill battle. i agree at the on set, if the fbi been able to analyze the tape and tell who is screaming on this tape, we would not be going to trial right now. this case would be over. whoever was screaming was not the acongress grecongress -- wa aggressor, that person was begging for their life. that tape is critical in the case. >> you agree then that the odds against a successful prosecution has enormously increased. >> the jury will still hear the tape. so they will be tested on the three seconds of the veems. it will be difficult for the juries, the jurors are going to have to rely on their ears. >> and i think trayvon's parents are nice, solid people.
7:55 pm
the father will get up and testify that was my son's voice on the tape. and they will say, wait a second, didn't i say that was not your son as voice on the tape earlier? >> we had mike edit ba-- michae baten on the show. he is an expert, he can say something else and i think part of the thing on the tape is when someone is screaming, the identification of screaming is not their regular voice. that was brought out by the french gentleman who was an expert on listening to the voices. you know, you get an expert witness on one side, i've been a expert witness, when i say something about someone murdered in the hotel about the security not being sufficient.
7:56 pm
and another one comes in and says is, no, it's that way. they should have had that opportunity. >> that will not happen though. it will not happen and they should have had that opportunity. >> the jurors are going to hear the tape. and if you listen to the tape, as soon as the gun goes off, the screaming stops. they will argue, use your common sense, the shooter silenced the screams. >> and all the other variables come into play, the injuries -- >> it's an all female jury. 5 white women out of six. >> no they are caucasians, you cannot call them white. stop it. >> bo, they will ask these five ladies of the jury. you see a strange kid walking around with a hoodie on, and you do not recognize him. >> they are always parents, 5 of 6 of them are parents. >> what is the reason? what is the reason for this zimmerman being there? look it, let's all face it about
7:57 pm
the hoodies. -- >> someone is dead. >> we had a problem with hoodies, i take you to every videotape of every stick up for some reason, people have hoodies, they want to hide their faces. >> we have to stop with the hoodies, seriously. everyone wears them. partners in my law firm wears them. >> that is like a woman is a rape victim -- >> when you do not want to show your identity, you cover up. if the guy had a mask on. >> we now know he was not doing anything wrong. >> he weasn't and we know that now. >> will he be convicted or not, bo? >> i think he is not going to be convicted. >> i don't know. >> he gets acquitted. thank you for watching, have a great week. good night. the verizon share everything plan for small busines
