trace: most americans are afraid to share their political views according to a new poll from the cato instituteean a little more than 100 days before voters head to the polls? let's bring in karl rove, fox news contributor. good to see you. in your op-ed in the "wall street journal," you're talking about joe biden's lazy new ideas and you write the following. questioning here, joe biden's strategy to become president appears to be a, make sure people don't confuse him with donald trump and b, worry only about appealing to voters object the democratic party's left frank. it might work, might not. that strategy encourages mr. biden to be mentally lazy while providing team trump with openings that they can exploit. you get the feeling that the trump campaign is exploiting them yet, karl? >> not why it. i was taken by biden's appearance on joy reed. he was the inaugural guest on her program. she asked him a question. she said what do you think of president trump and coronavirus? he just took him apart from top to bottom. a lot of adjectives and nouns. nothing specific. a lot of attacks. she said if

agencies within the united states government have surveilled those who have expressed what the cato institute described as, quote, strong political views that run count toer to the prevailing government paradigm. this challenges the notion by those who support a state of some sort if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. i want to come back to that later on. maybe you will adhere to that view. maybe you are kind of on the fence about it. maybe you firmly reject it. that's fine. we'll have an opportunity to discuss that later, but the history of abuses in domestic surveillance in this country necessitates this discussion because the same tools that can be used to protect citizens from legitimate threats can be turned against the same citizens for less noble and even nefarious reasons. you really want to look at the sort of history of surveillance in the united states, you would go back probably about a century to 1908. teddy roosevelt's attorney general creates a special squad of investigators to work on behalf of the department of justice, becomes known as the bureau of investig
