the patriot act was originally written, because there were re major concerns about privacy. my view of this is that you got to give the president of united states a little bit of leeway on this, because i'm sure in my my view, he is probably looking ati something that is a lot more narrow than the scope thatop they're looking at. it may be in the way doing it dn that people are trying torying o investigate don't think they'rei a part of an investigation. in it's huge, it's huge amount of records. >> it's a very wide net, though. >> i understand that.erst and i said that has always beena the concern about the use the e patriot act. you have to go to a private priv court to get it done, a secret court. wasn't key westerns here is that every 90 days it gets automatically done.au i think at some point if we got to figure out why is the court just like rubber stamping theame request every time.ery there's a lot of information, ia got to believe that there's more targeting that they want to do o but they don't want to make itit that obvious. ob >> don't want to give it away.a. speaking of nationalnal security, yesterday theur president is going toit move sue

even though they had differencee on the benghazi issue, they were more than happy to work with wih her. >> reporter: i thought thisthoh was significant. >> no one questions her abilityy the president did the right thing, picked somebody he isis comfortable with. >> reporter: congress really rl has nol say in this.is. they don't have to confirm her.f at the doir have to confirm samantha powers and i believe ie heard mccain he supports that tt as al. >> i think that is one way he he put susan rice in that positionh it's not a confirmal situation,u otherwise all heck would have he broken loose. the irs situation.situ this continues to go on dayday after day, what is going to neen to happen to reform what has wh been happening to the irs. irs. >> i served in the house weighss and means committee, and we were looking at different ways to was make sure that 501c3s and 501c

fourses are real charitable organizations. what you have had is operationsn that are not political poli operations. when this 501c4 law was written and signed signed as a law by pt eisenhower there's a specificspc word that says the charitablechr function has to be exclusive.ve. the irs says it's primarily.pr the law says exclusive. what happens here and all of the taxpayers are subsidizing healtl wealthy people who take money me who give monies to the 50c4s and they're not charitable organizations. we are subsidizing and millionaires getting break and d these organizations that are not truly charitable getting tax breaks and they don't have toto tell us who the donors are. are. the simple thing is for the irss to look at the law, and say an

unless you are exclusively charitable. that solves the problem, the lae is there, they're just not enforcing it right.enforcin by the wayg , they should beheyh looking at this 501c4, not justt the as tea party. pa what is happening here. i think it's a big rouse that needs to be stopped. >> i think the irs the e government needs to send every v american a check for $3,000 for all the money that we give to them that is wasted on things th like these trips that they have been taking and making videos vi and all of that kind of stuff. >> it's outrageous.tragus. >> it's outrageous. outra marty, thank you for coming in.. we appreciate it.we appre we hope our friend robert walkee is doing well. well we will wish him the best when we see him next week or the week after that.after >> a plea tur t surto pleasure

montgomery county and a blogger of justupthepike.com. j thanks for being here today. >> thank you. and dr. paula reenenfeld say resident who testified against the plan. she's involved in many differene civic activities very active in montgomery county. thanks for being here thanks sou >> we'll talk about the nuts and bolts. dan, it's basically to ease the tightest, congested areas in montgomery countism we're talking about rockville pike, other areas that the traffic come it's a standstill. >> that's right. what the county is looking at is a ten route 79 mile plan that would create dedicated bus lanes on several major corridors of the county. in some areas they would wind the street n. other areas where there wasn't room they would repurpose a lane. la traffic as bad as it is.

it might sound counter intuitivi but it's about moving people not just cars. if you've ever been on a congested road like new l hampshire avenue and route 29 in the mornz, you know it's imp imp possible to everyone's car through. if they are able to have a fast reliable alternative in traffic they are likely to take it. it only takes a small number of people making the switch from cars to transit. >> okay. paula, you say this, say safetys concern among other things. what do you think about this plan. >> well, of the course, we're not opposed to public transit. everyone understand what's is going on ndin montgomery countyr the area. what we're opposed to is the secret behind the scenes deals d that have been cut and the way that this process has occurred. and there's two key points. one is at the very beginning. why the decision to have bus rapid transit which doesn't d include renewable resources. there was no public discussion

with google cars, signalization, smart signalization these days, personal electric vehicles. why the decision was need haveha buses and the second point att which there was no public inl put was why these particular roads that cram all the bus routes down county into underserved areas and lower l income avoiding the wealthier parent parts of county. we're concerned that there was no public input at all to this.t there were secret deals that we're seeing e-mails now that show in this has been done. there's the issue of safety that the bus routes will be taken away the medians. er in dedicated lanes ant pedestrian refugeees that we us and that our children use to cross the streets will be gone. there will be right of way that is taken. that in many cases or in some cases can take people's property. they'll ll have to be the bus stations at every mile and in some cases every half mile

according to correspondents we've seen. we're very concerned about the lack of public process. p >> interesting note here that public comment period was prettr short to be honest. it has been extended just one more day. there's other ways to have your voice heard. we urge everybody to go to our web site myfoxdc.com. if you are interested in writing a letter to testify about that. in the meantime let me ask youou about some of the things paulaua said. >> you know what, it's hard to h answer thingars i haven't hearda anything about.g >> you a are talking about transportation, what it would do as far as easing congestion. >> if you read the plan there's no discussion about taking out medians. there's stops every mile toll to half mile. that's part of the point. to have stops less frequent. >> it could go faster, too? >> exactly.ctly as for the safety issue there are how many thousands of cars on the street today? t if i'm crossing a street, i have

that many drivers who could have a collision with me. taking the drivers and giving them alternative to ride the bus with a professional driver that seems safer than -- >> what of the safety issue ase far as paula brought up, school children there are, other o drivers are there. is there a certain from that? >> i mean it's -- these are busy streets and ways to make them safer. we can improve pedestrian crossing and the sidewalk network. there's large sections of county without sidewalkses. if we want people to take transits we need to improve the infrastructure. i don't consider brt a threat to safety but rather than tha opportunity if we're going to make alterations to the roads anyway, dedicated lanes for things like that, we can also al use it to improve our pedestrian infrastructure.in the plan includes, which i should be clear a draft planft that is going before the planning board. nothing has been improved yet. >> very preliminary.

>> it includes areas of county c urban areas, in areas where they are going be brt stops wherere they say you need to improve pedestrian and bike infrastructure to make it easier and safer not just to get to brt but anything else.g >> i'm going to give you the final word before we go. >> the final word is the process is secret and behind-the-scenes. we're left with a short period p as you say. we have the work sessions scheduled in the middle of the day so that people who work can't attend them and have the full voice that the public demands. >> all master plans have work sessions during the i did and all master plans have a two-week common period there's nothingth unusual about it. >> it's not a good idea. i >> we're out of time here. it's very preliminary. pre the information son the web site. wish we did have more time. it's a discussion worth having a little longer. maybe we can have you back ba before it goes to the county
