on a lighter note, one thing's clear about dick cheney, he's redefining what it means to be a foreman when cheney left his office the world was his oyster. he could have gone the corporate route like al gore. he could have played golf or in mclean, virginia hosting republican soirees. on his way out cheney gave no clue that he had a brand-new view of life after the vice presidency. that he was not taking his 19% approval rating and going home. now he keeps making it very clear he ain't getting off the stage. >> if i don't speak out, then where do we find ourselves, bob? then the critics have free run and there isn't anybody there on the other side to tell the truth. >> well, some say cheney's refusal of move on reminds them of groundhog day. but you could see it's that frightenly relentless glenn close in "fatal attraction." like cheney, she was not going to be ignored. >> i don't know what you're up to, but i'm going to tell you it's going to stop right now. >> no, it's not going to stop, but it's going to go on and on until you face your responsibilities. >> what responsibilities? >

i understand why he doesn't want the comparison to dick cheney, but he's stuck with it. he is continuing the bush-cheney policies. >> it's an important point you make about the add-ons. this is former cia director michael hayden and his take how the current administration has changed things. >> frankly, the obama administration was more transparent about this effort than we were in the bush administration. i mean, they made this data collection activity available to all the members of congress, not just all the members of the intelligence committee. >> ari, all the members of congress, not just all the members of the intelligence committee. now that these leaks happened, now that this debate is happening in the public, does the president have to communicate more with the american people and the nsa declassify a little bit of information, does it have to do more is that too risky? >> i think the president does need to communicate more. this is very controversial. people are divided on it. when he has people in his own base of his party like paul against it, the president n

that dick cheney.be talking about credibility. joining me now is former congressman patrick murphy, democrat from pennsylvania. he is the first iraq war veteran elected to congress. thanks for coming on the show. >> thanks for having me back on, rev. >> dick cheney thinks the president has no credibility. i mean, is he serious? >> rev, you would think that ten years after dick cheney got us into an unnecessary war in iraq that caused 4,486 americans their lives and tens of thousands injured an hundreds of thousands of iraqis to be killed, you would think ten years later that he would have the decency to keep his mouth shut about credibility of elected leaders. >> now, you were an iraq war veteran. so you're one of those that went over at the risk of your lives and certainly those that you served with on cheney's policy. i mean how do you feel when you hear this man just stand there and make these kind of -- sit there and make these kind of statements. >> it really gets my irish up, to be honest with yo

nothing could be more unkind to barack obama than bring up a failed dishonest man like dick cheney and compare president obama to mr. cheney. and there isn't an important different. i don't like the program. there is a huge difference as the president pointed out. when dick cheney and president bush did this, it was not superer vielsed by the courts. the attorney general john ashcroft had to stop it because they thought it was illegal. that's the difference. president obama has the authorization of congress, support of congress and got the courts overseeing it and within the executive branch checks and balances. i still don't like it, but it's not illegal and looks like it was under mr. bush and cheney. >> you've also said in the past this current administration on these issues is basically a continuation, a third bush term particularly national security. after hearing president obama last night, you tweeted this, president obama denies he's dick cheney. i love it. he's fighting with one of his strawmen. funny, actually. tell us what you meant by that. >> this is one of those weird iss

he's right, he's not dick cheney. he had the guts to stand up and defend the national security programs then going on a talk radio program, a tv talk program as he fled the country for the g-8 meeting, yeah, he's not dick cheney, dick cheney understood how important this was, and offered himself as a defender of the program, which was begun during the bush years and continued under president obama. >> it gave the appearance that the president is not so engaged. and i would hope that -- >> he's almost like a campaigner, not a commander in chief. >> i would like to see him bring the nsa over to the white house and talk to them. at least we have a photo shop shot of that happening. maybe a conversation with clapper, after he made that statement before the senate, in which he -- it was a false statement of senator wyden's question. i would like to see that, so i can see the president is in charge. >> this is a broader problem, the problem of disengaged and not at the top of their game. we saw it withholder, who misled the

dick cheney is the man who took us into war on iraq with false pretense.eney was the man who was vice president when we were hit on 9/11. and dick cheney has the nerve to get out there and say we have no credibility? he is picking the the democrats as much as he is the president. this i go never got close to killing osama bin laden. and the fact is that and now dick cheney has the nerve to go on national television and say president obama has no credibility. almost as outrageous as shooting someone in the face and getting away with it. president obama has done more to dismantle al qaeda in one term than bush and cheney did in two terms. he killed osama bin laden and has taken a number of other ranking al qaeda members. even in the outrage, president obama is doing just fine. apparently america has no problem with it. his approval rating hasn't taken a hit. even during the so-called scandals. americans trust this president. this man provided healthcare for 30 million uninsured people. saved the american automobile industry. created 6 million private sector

and i love the irony of dick cheney suddenly concerned of revealing information. that's what you did dick. we'll have more when we come back. >> "viewpoint" digs deep into the issues of the day. >> do you think that there is any chance we'll see this president even say the words "carbon tax"? >> with an open mind... >> has the time finally come for real immigration reform? >> ...and a distinctly satirical point of view. >> but you mentioned "great leadership" so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. >> (laughter). >> watch the show. >> only on current tv. you know who is coming on to me now? you know the kind of guys that do reverse mortgage commercials? those types are coming on to me all the time now.

absolutely breath taking >> angela, what's your reaction to the great dick cheney there?say, martin, i laughed and totally agree with john na than. that's ironic here is is this man who shot his friend in the face so the king of friendly fire who has comments about the credibility of our president $800 billion later after the iraq war is talking credibility there. he supports the president but says he's not credible. the only thing i can say to you is that this is what dick cheney should do about credibility. zip it. >> right. professor peterson, speaking of the nsa controversy, jonathan edward -- edward snowden gave an exclusive interview to the guardian" today and asked what he thought of dick cheney calling him a traitor. mr. snowden said that being called a traitor by dick cheney is the highest honor you can give an american. pro fes or. >> this is the moment in american politics where there are too many.sprang bedfellows to account for mere. someone like dick cheney doesn't have a lot of accountability in calling anyone a traitor. if we look at the kind of things don

maybe the president is right and dick cheney is right. i'm not convinced at all that there wasn't a less intrusive way of doing that. >> thanks so much, gentlemen. >>> just ahead, this former u.s. air marshal says the irs slapped him with an audit. we're keeping them honest. >>> also ahead, a close call at the denver airport where a tornado touched down. we'll have the latest on that. i think farmers care more about the land than probably anyone else. we've had this farm for 30 years. we raise black and red angus cattle. we also produce natural gas. that's how we make our living and that's how we can pass the land and water back to future generations. people should make up their own mind what's best for them. all i can say is it has worked well for us. in parks across the country, families are coming together to play, stay active, and enjoy the outdoors. and for the last four summers, coca-cola has asked america to choose its favorite park through our coca-cola parks contest. winning parks can receive a grant of up to $100,000. part of ou

we'll tell you the things dick cheney said. bill: a little girl needs a life-saving lung transplant. is this the future under new healthcare. dr. marc siegel on why this may be the beginning. >> i'm so thankful for the donor. on this great day it's a tragic day for them and that's not lost on me. for her to live. somebody else gave her this amazing gift and we are just so thankful. bill: the fan who took a line drive to the head is out of the hospital. this is hard to watch. bill: that's ball hit alex cobb in the right ear. he suffered a mild concussion. he's throwing what, 90 miles an hour. and the ball is coming off that bat at least that fast. you think how vulnerable a pitcher is after they release the ball. martha: you think of the helmet technology that happened in so many sports and those guys are so vulnerable. bill: he was tweeting sunday morning. martha: he was bleeding from that ear at the time. another rough interesting session that happened over the weekend was with former vice president dick cheney as he sound off

. >> i want to bring up this dick cheney comparison. people are going to say suddenly obama has become dick cheney. he didn't compare himself to george w. bush who in fact was the president but dick cheney, the guy who arguably was the. puppet master of the bush presidency. "the atlantic" has an interesting analysis. i would love your thoughts on this. "for all their substantial differences, dick cheney and barack obama share one leadership trait -- they trust their own judgment so thoroughly and value it so highly that they recklessly undermine all institutional and prudential restraints on their ability to exercise it whenever they see fit. indeed, like kobe bryant at end of a playoff game, they both harbor a barely suppressed supremely arrogant belief that behaving in this way is their responsibility, or even their burden." >> well, it's part right and part not right. i think there is no question that anybody who's been in the president's presence, president obama, cleerm undarly understan he thinks he is the smartest person in the r

dick cheney says yeah, he took it all lock, stock and barrel.concern has always been not that we shouldn't do intelligence gathering to prevent terrorism but rather are we setting up a system of checks and balances. cenk: he's saying there yeah, dick cheney said that i took the system lock, stock and barrel. well, you did. i don't know what your claim is to not being dick cheney on this specific issue. you probably don't have one. >> if you are a u.s. person, the n.s.a. cannot listen to your telephone calls and the n.s.a. cannot target your emails. >> and have not. >> and have not. they cannot and have not by law and by rule, and unless they, and usually it wouldn't be they, it would be the f.b.i. go to a court and obtain a warrant. cenk: my sense of it is based on insider sources is that he's right. they're not listening to the calls right now. that doesn't mean that what they're doing doesn't vital our privacy. they have every single number that we've ever called. i don't want them to have that information. if you ask me why did you do somethi

now he's dick cheney. dick cheney says sometimes yeah. he took it lock, stock and barrel. >> john: barack obama wants us to know he's different from dick cheney. >> i love the fact he said that on the day this week that was the 41st anniversary of the watergate break-in, compliments of dick, i'm not a crook nixon. the same day obama says i'm not a dick cheney. >> john: the coincidence is hilarious. you tweeted about it. in fair tons the president -- >> which president? >> john: barack obama. >> the current one. >> john: until he invades a country that never attacked us to make his old bosses rich, i think it is safe to say he's not like dick cheney. >> i'm surprised -- he seemed to have a self-image problem or some kind of -- i don't know what the problem was that day -- why would he even bring that up, you know? it is like, you know, you saying i'm no joy behar. it's like why would you even say something like that? >> john: exactly. especially after all of the years i tried to be. i want to shift to the gun debate for a second. and you w

dick cheney responded to that.e said really, you changed it, scrubbed it, at least with bush we had the debate, at least there was transparency, we knew when it worked. if it worked so well under president obama, tell us the dozens and dozens of attacks. they don't tell us. >> you know what, this is what is great about this scandal. it brings the right and the left together and in conflict over this, which in a way weakens our war against radical islam. obama doesn't have to act about it because we are destroying it. >> we buried the lead, that cheney and obama agree on something. he is a traitor and he was in the wrong and should be prosecuted. >> good point. well done. way to wrap it up. >>> coming up, nsa leaks, irs targeting, benghazi, doj reporters probe, a few things brewing in washington. what's obama's response? road trip to europe, obviously, but the american people are wising up and his poll numbers are taking a dive. the obama free fall next on "the five." ♪ ♪ >>> welcome back. president obama hits north

dick cheney called him a trader and being called a trader by dick cheney is an honor. >>> 62% do not approve of his actions and say he should be brought to justice and 42% approve of him leaking that information. >>> sunnyvale based companies said they asked for data between 12 and 13,000 times in six months. yahoo said the most common requests were for foreign and intelligence acts requests. >>> the wax museums are about to become a piece of history. fisherman's wharf has it and they now run the museum which was founded by his grandfather and he said it is time for a change but it is part of their heritage they will always hold deer. >> there are literally millions of visitors. >> the new owner will spend $35,000 renovating it so it can reopen next summer. >>> firefighters battling a fire that started just off of carson's road. about 1600 acres were burned. cal fire said the high winds and tough landscape is making it difficult to put out that fire and so far the cause is unknown. >>> some firefighters are hired to protect just one home instead of a an end -- of an entire community.

dick cheney sometimes says, yeah, he took it all lock, stock and barrel. my concern has always been not that we shouldn't do intelligence gathering to prevent terrorism. but rather, are we setting up a system of checks and balances. >> i think it's fair to say that barack obama is in trouble with his base any time he has to say i'm not dick cheney. >> that is certainly not something his base wants to hear. at the same time though, his base is still with him. when you look at the new pew poll that came out the other day that showed that the american public does not like the idea that the nsa is out there culling through our e-mail records and phone record. democrats are much more supportive of these sort of efforts than they were when cheney and bush -- well, when bush was president and cheney was vice president and republicans are much less supportive now that barack obama is president. so there's still -- >> everyone's going to their partisan corners. >> that's correct. the bigger problem right now for the president is not how much is going to leak out an

been so self-righteous, if he hadn't been so above it all, if he hadn't had such contempt for what dick cheney and george bush were doing. this is a great thing about living in the age we're living in, we can go back to june, july, august of 2008 or 2007 or 2006 when people were comparing verizon to nazi war criminals for taking part in this program on the left, so we're now sitting quietly by and saying the president, let the president do what he needs to do. >> joe, first of all, some of us are surprised and appalled at the scope of this program, did not know that all our phone records were being collected in this way, still don't know enough about how they are being stored, how long they are being stored, exactly what's happening with them. so no, it's not true that everybody on the left has just rolled over and said, it's okay if obama is doing it. second, if you really want to compare the obama record on civil liberties and human rights and information security with that of bush, well, fine. this is a negative mark for obama. but remember, george bush was doing this without warrant. total
