with me now is senator angus king. he sits on the senate intelligence committee.ator king, thanks for being here. this whole thing started when your committee began to look at the bush era anti-terrorism plan of the cia, looking at what happened there, looking at if torture was committed, did we send folks to other countries to have them tortured there, et cetera, et cetera. so the cia believing that you all had gotten a hold of documents you shouldn't have, hacks into the computer and essentially spies on your committee, and your reaction to that admission now? >> well, it's shocking and it's particularly shocking because if you go back to the clips in the spring, candy, you'll see john brennan, the chief of the cia, the director of the cia, saying this was absurd and nobody should make these kind of irresponsible charges, and all of those kinds of things and now the cia's own inspector-general has confirmed that they did just that, that they went into the computer system that was supposedly separated and within the control of the senate committee and essentially

so today we have on angus king, on the senate intelligence committee and chairman mike rogers, who is on the house intelligence committee to sort of bat that around. >> excellent. candy, thank you so much. >> thanks, guys. >> don't forget to stick around for her exclusive interview with texas governor rick perry at 9:00 a.m. eastern only here on cnn. >>> the first known case of ebola is on american soil. we have some of the first pictures of the american doctor kent brantley as he begins the fight of his life against this deadly virus. >>> plus imagine a u.s. biplane playing an aerial game of chicken let's say with a russian jet. i know it sounds like a movie plot but guess what? it's not. we'll tell you what happened. she's still the one for you. and cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right. cialis is also the only daily ed tablet approved to treat symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest

the main senator angus king said it best. who can we trust in washington? >> absolutely. think you're going to hear grilling calls from lawmaker, even though they're on recess this august, calling for either brennan to resign or for some kind of action on this. earlier this year when the intelligence committee chairwoman dianne feinstein took to the senate floor to talk about this, it was really kind of a mind blowing accusation and of course, brennan had denied this and now, it comes forward through this ig report that it had occurred, so i think you're going see a lot of frustration. >> that's the problem. he was caught in a lie back in march. let's play that. >> as far as the allegations of you know, cia hacking to senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. we couldn't do that. that's just beyond the you know, the scope of reason. >> okay, so despite that outright law, president obama still remains confident in him. dan pfeiffer went on as far as telling abc this week, john brennan is a man of integrity. why hasn't the president fired him and what does

(vw bil richardson, one former republican, angus king, now in the senate.it's a bad way to practice capitalism. it's crapialism. >> absolutely. it's unhealthy for government to do that because it leads to corruption. other people don't have the ear of washington and they have to suffer. >> at least solar city is still in business. there are 19 companies that got government money, taxpayer money, and they're bankrupt if you look at this list. >> right. >> but the government would say, these are experiments. we got to subsidize these newcomers. >> isn't it funny that in almost every other industry, take televisions or anything, we don't have subsidies and we zoom ahead. in the industry where we're moving forward with progressive ideas like wind mills and solar panels, which have been around for many, many decades, we're not -- consumers are not winning. it's just more expensive. >> it's been like 20, 30 years now these subsidies have been going on. >> of course. a lot of this technology has been around -- wind mills have been around since the middle ages. >>

available to around seventy businesses and households however its supporters like maine senator angus king expected to grow rapidly over the next few years and believe it will be a positive example in the state that ranks literally next to last in overall internet access in today's economy internet access should not be considered a luxury it should be a right which is exactly why cities like chattanooga tennessee and lafayette louisiana have done the same thing as rockport maine and set up their own city run fiber optic networks comcast of arisan don't want you to know this but the main reason internet access and internet speeds are so bad here in the united states compared to the rest of the developed world is that the private companies that dominate our telecom industry have so little competition that they simply don't give a rat's patootie about making things better for their customers invest in your ultra fast fiber optic networks. of the kind now available in rockport is actually pretty expensive when the really big internet giants the way they see it it's far easier and more profitab

angus king says he will be interest in to congratulate the owner of a farm for being a small business administration award recipient. and corker is in vietnam with reports theirho visiting the hanoi hilton prison where john mccain from arizona and u.s. pows where had -- were held during the vietnam war. messagesheck out other if you go to our twitter page. there are still plenty happening in washington d c. leaders are meeting for a u.s. african summit -- the first of its kind aimed at increasing business relationship. we will have comments from south african president jacob zuma at 2:00 eastern time right here on c-span. >> tonight on "the communicators" three members of congress talk about their technology education. >> i believe in an open internet without government intervention. this is all being done in the private sector. >> why would they not want their team exposed? fcc took the first move and will vote at the end of this year. but we believe the nfl will follow suit. tries to carry carriage rules, basically giving people a level footing when being able to negotiate with broa

the personal, maine senator angus king said, quote, one of the things the white house has not done wellnd the president has not done well is the simple idea of establishing relationships before there is a crisis. these are not republicans who are grousing about the president. they are senators that caucus with his own party. so that gets to the argument that washington -- the arguments being made that washington doesn't need to be quite as grid locked right now as it is. the idea that the president has failed to develop the kinds of personal relationships on capitol hill that could potentially overcome some of the partisan divide. the other side of the argument? that all the personal charm in the world, all the arm twisting in the world just couldn't and wouldn't matter today. we do not any more live in the age of lbj. as i said, this is an argument that brings out strong views on both sides so it's an argument we are excited to have on this show right now. joining me to talk about it we have congressional scholar tomas mann of the brookings institution and jim manly former senior staff

host: that was senator angus king from maine having harsh words.o our first caller is brenda from texas. good morning. caller: good morning. i'm calling because i wanted to make a comment regarding the gentleman on before, riley. i think he was spot on right on a couple of the items, especially the breakdown of the black family. i can make this comment because i am a black woman. it has been a great failure of the black man not being in the home raising and nurturing and caring for his children. i will say that much and i'm ashamed to have to say it. on the other hand, the way that they've treated this president, it's very obvious and shameful. i can't imagine what other countries think of america. that's basically what i wanted to say. host: our next caller is al from florida on the democratic line. you're on the air. caller: yeah. i'd just like to make the comment that it's time that we brought our troops back home. we got the economy in the united states so good that we don't have to depend on anyone else. and also just the fact that we need job
