response with republican congressman pete king of new york and democratic senator richard blumenthal of connecticut. plus, another delay for the president's healthcare law forces the obama administration to play defense. >> this is no longer a political debate. this is what we call the law. >> the president claims that this law is working the way it's supposed to. but, clearly it's not. >> john: we'll ask our sunday panel about the political fallout. all right here on "fox news sunday." >> hello again from fox news in washington. more tough questions for the nsa after the "the washington post" reported this week that the agency violated privacy rules. thousands of times since 2008. an internal audit obtained from leaker edward snowden reveals that the nation's most secretive spy agency intercepted phone calls and emails of american citizens repeatedly during that time. and, in some cases did, not report the unauthorized surveillance. now some lawmakers are promising hearings. joining us with reaction is republican senator rand paul of kentucky, a member of the senate homeland securit

one, as i believe senator blumenthal alluded to. it would provide us with the opportunity of judges to reach more informed decisions because we would heard two point of view. that's what we do day in and day out in the chamber and courtroom or accustomed to that. we are comfortable with that. secondly, create a mechanism, i think is very important for in instance when the government prevails when the surveillance court judge approves the new and novel request because there was a lawyer engaged at the outset that lawyer could seek review before the foreign intelligence court of review and in turn before the united states supreme court. today, of course, only the government can appeal. and the government has done so, i believe on a couple of occasions. i'm familiar with one. there was nobody there on behalf of the other side. and as i said, i think that my proposal is fairly simple and straightforward. economically, and very useful. thank you for hearing me out. i welcome your questions as to what i have to say. >> thank you very much

says hey we want to conduct surveillance on this person in the judge's ok what for example senator blumenthal has done is propose legislation that would put a special privacy advocate on the court who could argue against the government's claims to do surveillance and try to look out for civil liberties so we'll see if maybe the white house and senator blumenthal can come to an agreement and install some sort of operative opposition on to the pi's accord it's interesting now did the president have anything to say about edward snowden all his leaks and all this noise around him now and the fact that he has asylum in russia yes he was directly asked you know given the fact that this whole debate wouldn't be happening given that these reforms you're introducing wouldn't have been possible without edward snowden has your opinion of edward snowden changed and here's what the president said no i don't think mr snowden was a patriot as i said in my opening remarks i called for a thorough review of our surveillance operations before mr snowden made these leaks the president echoing a sentiment that a

american citizens shows that momentum for reform is building today senators why didn't you tell him blumenthal introduce reforms to the pfizer court including putting in place a special privacy advocate to defend the civil liberties of americans before the top secret court here is a measure that protects core constitutional rights in a way that focuses on making the courts and the process. better and fair having two sides represented in court what's more american also senator patrick leahy introduced the comprehensive accountability in privacy protection act which narrows the scope of the patriot act to limits gag orders on data collection view and fast forwards the sunset of the fai's amendments act congress has to carefully consider the powerful surveillance to be granted government intrusion sure there is stringent oversight accountability and transparency i've introduced a bill that addresses not only section two hundred five and section seven the two but also national security letters and roving wiretaps and other authorities in the patriot act it's also today senator al franken dropped a

better oversight following the disclosure of my add were snowed in connecticut senator richard blumenthal is in the process of crafting legislation to reform the feis the courts and tools louth for public scrutiny the problem he says is that the eleven member court is so secretive that it undermines the idea of balancing threats of terrorism with fourth amendment protections from on reasonable search and seizure but that's not the only piece of legislation that is emerging in response to the n.s.a. surveillance relations revelations our chief political commentator sam sachs has more. the greatest fear that i have regarding the outcome. for america of these disclosures is that nothing will change snowden finally leaves a moscow airport today his greatest fear that nothing will change hasn't materialized but instead a flurry of legislation has dropped here on capitol hill to rein in the n.s.a. and bring more transparency to the top secret pfizer court and last week's near passage of the a march conyers amendment which would have defunded the n.s.a.'s mass collection of data on american citi

. >> let me bring in senator richard blumenthal.od morning. >> good morning, chris. >> i know you were close to the newtown families and two parents talked to ann curry after what happened in georgia. let me play a little bit of that. do we have that tape? well, let me read to you what mike barden who i know you know said. here we know after a day after an individual stormed into an elementary school with an assault rifle. and there's silence. we are a nation in denial. is she right? and is this going to restart the conversation? or is liz right? is it unlikely that anything's going to get done? >> we need to restart the conversation, chris. absolutely mandatory that this nation faces the problem of gun violence. the assault weapon that individual brought into the atlanta school. by the way, the fact that an individual there, a clerk in the school was able to talk him down, certainly refutes the nra's contention that the only way to defeat bad guys with guns is to give guns to good guys. here was a person who was calm, rational, sen

as you blumenthal referred to this report, what is all the buzz about? and this goes right to the heart of this issue, this focus on teenagers focused on younger people. senator durbin made references to smoking, it is right on the money. it is exactly what is happening. we cannot kid ourselves about the direct correlation that exists between the marketing practices and the increased use by younger people of these beverages. we surveyed the practices of the makers of 14 of the most commonly sold energy drink brand including the three companies here today. our report found that while many of the products do not engage in traditional marketing through tv , print, and radio, they are very active in social media and sponsorship of sporting, music, and gaming events that promote brand recognition in a way that clearly appeals to young people and often promotes unhealthy consumption. these companies are adamant their market consists of adults but with their heavy use of promotion through facebook, instagram, twitter him and other teenage favorites, they are ma

. >>> democrater senator richard blumenthal sits on the armed services committee.enator, thanks for being with us. let's start with a basic question, how far should a u.s.-backed attack go? >> a united states attack apparently is necessary really to send a message to assad and others in the region who may be tempted also to use these weapons of mass destruction, this abhorrent attack should prompt an international coalition which should determine the extent of the response and if there is a military use of tomahawk cruise missiles, it ought to be targeted to military assets, high-value military units or equipment, and it should be very limited duration and scope. proportionate to what assad has done here. and also very precise in the way it's directed. i'm concerned about the potential unintended consequences, but i am more concerned about the repercussions of failing to respond to this violation of morality and international law. >> senator, given that we already know that there are al qaeda elements in the rebel forces in syria and given that the white house is n

i want to bring in senator richard blumenthal, a member of the armed services committee. good to see you, senator. good morning. >> good morning, chris. >> we keep hearing the comparisons to the chatter heard pre9/11. i know you weren't in the senate then. do you think based on the briefings you've gotten that the threat is that serious? >> the briefings i have received certainly emphasize these threats are specific and credible, equal, if not more serious, to the kind of chatter as the intelligence called it that was heard prior to 9/11. i think the approaching 9/11 date emphasizes the importance for this kind of precautionary sensible measure. the alert that was issued, the closing of embassies, the vigilance that is necessary on the part of ordinary citizens i think are all well done. >> since you have those briefings and information that you can't share with us, the question i've been getting from friends and family through the weekend which is how worried should i be if they are traveling abroad, if they are getting on a train, if they are getting on a plane anywhere

an approach democratic senator richard blumenthal says he supports. >> looking forward i think that the approach has to be that condition our future aid on specific steps towards the rule of law and return to democracy. >> reporter: but critics of administration strategy believe the white house options are limited and arizona senator john mccain says the obama administration has lost credibility. >> we have to comply with the law. and we are-- this administration did not do that after threatening to do so. >> reporter: the president returns from his vacation tonight and increasingly there are concerns the lines of communication between egypt's military leaders and u.s. officials are breaking down, jeff. >> jeff: jeff, thank you very much. in egypt today the military says the world isn't getting the full story. from cairo here's charlie d'agata. >> reporter: with images like these broadcast around the world, egypt's military-backed government knows it has an imagn image problem. today the foreign minister to the foreign press we haven't been telling the whole truth. his staff handed out

so this is actually something that is gaining movement on capitol hill senator richard blumenthal we talked to him a few weeks ago about his bill he has a privacy advocate that will sit on the pfizer court so whenever the government comes with a case that they want to start conducting surveillance on you can have this privacy advocate you know argue against it and try and at least look out for civil liberties concerns of americans so there might be something that can come out of the president's willingness to put some opposition there on the pfizer court that's good news now president obama he did address edward snowden can you tell us what he said about this that he was asked pretty specifically given that this whole debate could have been possible given that even these reforms that the president saying he's open to wouldn't have been even talked about with it out edward snowden has the president changed his opinion of edward snowden does he think of a more as a whistleblower or even a patriot and the president just immediately shot that down and said edward snowden is not a patriot

just as that we took the manning case very seriously on the other side of the hill senator richard blumenthal of course who's introduced his own set of eyes the core reforms for also condemn snowden's actions snowden and anyone could have raised these issues in the way that was done without breaking the law as he allegedly did but a new poll shows most americans disagreed when asked if snowden is a whistleblower fifty five percent said he was thirty four percent called snowden a traitor and meanwhile other lawmakers have taken a more nuanced approach tedward snowden i'm a congressman rush holt who's used suitings leads to introduce the surveillance state repeal act of killing both the patriot act in the amendments act we've snowden only broke the law in so much as the law is insufficient to protect whistleblowers in our intelligence agencies clearly he broke the law as it is part of what my legislation does is change the whistleblower protection so that people who work in the intelligence community have whistleblower protection just like employees in other parts of the federal government and
