. >> it is ironic that not only is diane feinstein, who's a democrat, one of the most devoted apologists of the nsa, the position that she occupies in the senate, which is chair of the senate intelligence committee is the position that is supposed to be devoted to overseeing the intelligence community, serving as a watchdog over it, and yet they've managed to put and install into that position, one of the most slavish devotees and loyalist of all of their powers. >> the people who are the ones who are supposed to be watching the intelligence agencies are the ones who end up being their biggest supporters and to some extent, the ones who try to rationalize every form of misconduct that ever gets displayed to us. >> as more and more leaks came out about the extent of the nsa's surveillance, president obama had to address it somehow. >> if you are the ordinary person and you start seeing a bunch of headlines saying, u.s.-big brother looking down on you, collecting telephone records, et cetera, well, understandably, people would be concerned. i would be, too, if i wasn't inside the governmen

back to the big picture i'm sam sachs in for tom hartman coming up in this half hour senator diane feinstein is introduce new legislation aimed at reforming the n.s.a. the national security state but in reality it's just another win for the surveillance industrial complex why is her bill so much weaker than other proposals on the floor and the scientists are wrong thanks to climate change the end of life on planet earth could be coming a lot sooner than we all think i'll explain why in tonight's daily ted. efforts to reform the n.s.a. have reached a fork in the road in the senate there are two different reform bills currently being pushed there are a lot but there are two main reform bills currently being pushed one is by judiciary chairman senator patrick leahy called the usa freedom act and a companion bill was introduced in the house as well this bill actually includes some substantial reforms it brings transparency the top secret buys accorded fixes gag orders that prevent companies from sharing government information requests to their customers and it most importantly it bars the bulk t

welcome to the broadcast the chairman of the senate intelligence committee california senator diane feinstein. thank you so much, senator, for coming. you have been a big defender from the beginning of the national security agency but you were clearly upset with the revelation that we were tapping german chancellor angla merkel's cell phone, you said it was a big problem that the empty was unaware. do you believe that that the president didn't know this was happening? >> i can't answer that. i don't know. but i think where allies are close tapping private phones of their's particularly of the leader, the leader is what i'm talking about has much more political liability than probably intelligence viability. and i think we ought to look at it carefully. i believe the president is doing that and there are some exceptions. >> schieffer: do you think that the national security agency has gone too far? >> well, let me say something about the nsa. i believe the nsa is filled with good patriotic people who want to do the right thing. they follow the orders they're given. the administration controls

so i began and this is breaking the set so soon senator diane feinstein had a change of heart this week which went from being a cheerleader for the n.s.a. to calling for a top to bottom review of the agency in the wake of the spying on allies leak and just yesterday feinstein put forth a bill that will lead to the reform the spy agency's surveillance practices within that then i read the fine print the bill basically leaves the bulk metadata collection untouched and codified is the practice is already put in place well so they need senator nice three sixty on that one looks like the same old diane frankenstein to me hi.

diane feinstein said on cbs's face the nation, the nsa operate in the direction of other departments.agency recently faced global criticism amid claims it spied on foreign allies. >> i believe the nsa is filled with good patriotic people who want to do the right thing. they follow the orders they are given. as i understand it, these are the priority. three, the nuclear counter proliferation. four, hard targets. and now, cyber. and those are the main areas the nsa is told to do serp things and it doesn't. >> claims on spying, sparked calls for the u.s. to roll back the surveillance programs. president obama has ordered a review of the program. >>> arizona couple, to kick the principal out of school. the father of the boy, met with the head master regarding pictures of a soldier and ninja and was told the images were grounds for the son's expulsion. official read through the journal and highlighted words he found violent, including killer zombies. >> open the window, stand back quickly. shoot the gadget. rope gun. squeeze across not getting hit. and i don't know how someone could say th

and you've had democrats like diane feinstein or baucus or boxer say they were worried about this step. they wanted to protect the rules and the way things worked. but even they have been driven over the edge by that litany of obstruction that you opened this segment with. i mean, really -- chuck grassley and mitch mcconnell, they went too far. by saying that simply appointing judges to the d.c. circuit was, quote, court packing. they forced the hand of the democrats. they cannot be reasoned with or compromised with. this is a obstruction and finally democrats went along with harry reid and said we'll do it. >> as i said, diana washington's song "what a difference a day makes." this is going to be a difference we all remember. those blocking appointments they've been out there challenging the legitimacy. and this is the senate's top republican. here's mitch mcconnell speaking to the senate earlier today. >> here's the problem. it doesn't distract people from obama care. it reminds them of obama care. it reminds them of all the broken promises. it reminds them of the power grab. it remi

so many democrats, including diane feinstein, patrick leahy resisted the nuclear option as well, but they flipped. >> they flipped out of frustration, obviously, particularly on this particular case that jeff toobin is talking. but what the republicans are warning, they're saying, if you thought things were partisan before this, just wait because the question is, once you eliminate the filibuster on these set of judicial nominees, do you open the door on anything else? and will republicans then decide, okay, as long as we got the filibuster on everything else, we will filibuster everything else because we believe this was a raw power grab as lamar alexander put it. lamar alexander said, you know, that this is now a senate without rules. >> let me play that quick clip from john mccain. >> okay. >> underline how angry he is right now about this. >> i know it puts a chill on the entire united states senate. it puts a chill on things like the dis abilities treaty, which we had a hearing on this morning. it puts a chill on everything that requires bipartisan. >> you're not reaching out to

i believe diane feinstein and bill nelson had it right.o gain nuclear capability, but in the meantime this could be the breakthrough that we've been looking for, for 25 years. >> as you know, sir, the president faced a pretty strong criticism from this from a large group in congress, from israel, from america's sunni allies in the east. do you think they're all wrong? >> no, i don't think they're all wrong. i think they're all raising red flags quite properly and this is an important step. i'm not sure what the alternative is. the sanctions that we have now are brutal. they're having an effect. that's why these people are at the negotiating table. i don't think there's much doubt of that. the new leadership wants to do something about the economic effect of these sanctions. the question is, how do we proceed? and it strikes me that the negotiators have reached a -- it's important. this is not the deal. this is a first step in a deal that attempts to freeze the development, freeze the enrichment process in exchange for a partial relief of t

when you see the fourth amendment being violated, being shredded by people like diane feinstein and mikecit in this violation, there is somebody needs to have the courage to speak out of conscience. that's what ed snow dn did. >> bob, what do you say to that? >> well, i think we need to sit down and find out exactly what the national security agency did. did it break the law? right now there's no clarity. the accusation in journalism is that they've been running algorithms through journalists records to find their sources. if that's true, i think that's clearly a violation of the constitution and somebody should be held accountable. we do need clarity on this just how far it went. and does congress know? have they done an independent audit of what the national security agency was looking into? no, not so far and they should. >> so do you think -- what about snowden's leaks, bob, you've looked at in terms of how orchestrated they are? do you think he has been working with foreign governments, or is that allegation to your view at this point also not clear? >> well, erin, the problem is i

and that include as lot of big name democrats, like california senator diane feinstein and former presidentlinton. they were among those encouraging the president to extend the grandfather claws to agreed anyone who currently has a policy they want to keep even if it doesn't meet all the requirements of the affordable health care act. so, basically, the president will keep a promise he had been making repeatedly for the last few years. here are more details we are learning about. insurance company will be allowed to offer consumers the option to renew their 2013 policies for another year, even if the policies don't comply with the affordable health care act. however, the insurance companies will have to notify the consumers of exactly which protections these policies do not include, and they will have to tell their policyholders that there are better options out there. now, as soon as president obama arrives at the white house to make that announcement, we will bring that to you live. >>> all right. tori. the time is 8:39. new details from police in santa cruz county where a rental dispute

this was not -- then, you know, you basically, when you watch diane feinstein jump on the landru billtanding up for her colleagues. that was worrying about senate democratic politics those red state senators. that was almost banding together here. okay. if the white house is going drop the ball on this we got to -- it's every chamber for themselves. it's every part of the democratic party, it's survival. i think that's what absolutely drove yesterday, drove the tone. the bigger -- the thing we're not talking about, he didn't fix anything. there's nothing that was fixed because he doesn't have the power to do it. john boehner is right. by the way, the white house knows it. >> think that's a huge point which is you have the politics which are immediate, which david axelrod says could be resolved by next november. we don't cho. only to be followed up by the policy implications here. look how much focus there has been on cancelled policies. that's not the biggest issue. that is 5% of the marketplace. a lot of those people can go and get better policies if only they can go and get better p

diane feinstein has been against quite some time.he was persuaded that the situation will not be any better. she was brought aboard. it is a classic case of the first role of legislative politics. if you have the votes, call the vote. he did and he did. in terms of what happened next, there's a lot of fear among republicans. the democrats will be prepared ondo this rules change legislation sooner or later. the absence of a filibuster on all nominees, except the supreme court, seems difficult for republicans to found him. athom. f republicans were clearly annoyed by this. they were furious. they essentially decided to put a stop to any further debate on the defense authorization bill. the recess has now begun. this is a bill that has passed 52 years in a row. cast doubt on whether that record will be maintained. republicans were clearly going to show that they were not going to back away from the filibuster legislation. host: i will come back to that point. clearly, where you stand depends on where you sit. it was a different situatio
