one to go back to the issue of accountability at nsa that while you were there edward snowden walked with 1.7 million pages of documents. martin part of the time all you were there walked out with half a billion pages of documents so wasn't just from one little place the different locations and six boxes of hard copy pages of documents. and then the shadow broker who came up with the actual tools and weapons but nobody is ever fired it seems in the upper ranks. where's the accountability at nsa quick. >> i think it starts at the top. truth in lending i held myself accountable for all of that and offered resignation to the president into the secretary of defense after edward snowden because i eight went to hawaii and negative a walked through without yet taken the information. that don't take lightly firing just to hold down accountable along to solve it if it is the right thing to do so i took out the team and sat down with the fbi and others and walked through the whole thing that i asked the fbi people who among these are accountable? and they say the way it was done there would ho

everything that edward snowden revealed. he wants to roll back the very limited, limited reforms that took place after snowden. jeff sessions is an implacable foe of the wonderful movement, bipartisan movement for sentencing reform, criminal justice reform, for trying to do something about mass incarceration. he opposes that. he wants to strengthen the war on drugs. i believe he believes in putting more people in jail and not fewer. as cornell brooks said, he's not going to be in ferguson trying to feel people's pain and figure out the right thing to do. it worries me as well in a time where we're going to see rising dissent. and it's our right. this man lost the popular vote. i'm not saying he's not the president, but he lost the popular vote. he's going hard right. we're going to see more dissent, and i'm afraid we're going to see the criminalization of dissent under jeff sessions. it's a bad day. it's the worst day we had -- >> i agree with you. mike pompeo is also an outspoken critic of hillary clinton when serving on th

but with martin and manning and the edward snowden now talking about charging it with espionage, is a death threat that has gone away, we just see one example where the person was caught but no real damage was done. but there must me at least a few out there and it is the job of the fbi and other agencies to read the amount. >> in the years of reporting with all of players, what surprised you most? what was the conversation you thought that just shines a light on an aspect of espionage or counterintelligence you had not anticipated? >> it was more about human character. i was really surprised when i learned that brian regan just as he was about to bury the packages in pocahontas pocahontas, he sorted all of the information hot one last time and discovered documents that were very sensitive. he decided they were so sensitive that he would not sell them. he tried to flush them down the toilet of his motel room . of course, that did not work . then he picked that up out of the toilet to put in the bathtub and tried to mulch at. he would let the water run and he tried to stop on it and de

he's also called for the death penalty with nsa whistle blower edward snowden. it's a hard line bunch and racially diverse and these five are not. and mitt romney, not window dressing but an actual reach. not across the aisle, at least toward the center. the cabinet and staff picks in combination with the president-elect's twitter attack on, quote, professional protesters, his unwillingness to divest himself and family from his businesses as even "the wall street journal" advises and keeping the american media at bay while having his first meeting with a foreign leader are all troublesome signs. come on, surround yourself with more balance in both perspective and experience, not to mention diversity. yes, you won. you're entitled to pick your team. but the selections you make now are going to have long range implications and you are the president of all of us, not just the 47% who voted for you. joining me now, allen d dershowitz. a guy for unaroused voters. oh my. and ned ryan. am i mistaken when i say i'm looking for a president-elect to be more inclusionary?

edward snowden. and the other is hillary clinton. ed snowden has been charged with certain crimes.illary clinton has not. we're talking about the former nsa contractor who leaked a bunch of information. he says he should be pardoned because he provided the world with a benefit. >> i think the president disagrees, but the president is getting around the issue of whether or not he should be pardoned, the president doesn't believe he had the authority to pardon ed snowden and i think the president is wrong there. >> maybe he is trying to mislead supporters because his supporters like the idea of pardoning him. they were against the whole nsa leak. so prison commutations, we have a bunch of drug offenders. the president calls them non-violent. tell that to any family facing drug addiction. >> the truth is those who had their service commuted committed crimes using weapons. so i don't know how they are creating that line there, but he is -- what the president is trying to do is there are several of these, quote, non-violent offenders sentenced under the previous drug laws that had, you

that is why in edward snowden or hillary clinton pardon is on the table. that an important point is a pardon has to be specific. in other words, does it have to encompass the potential for a certain crime or legal action? or is it just a blanket clearance for the rest the person's life? guest: an important distinction is that it cannot be forward looking. you cannot be pardoned for terminal conduct that has -- for criminal conduct a has yet to take place. retrospect, the president does half to specify to individual -- have specify what the individual is being pardoned four. -- for. so, anything arising out of the e-mail server, or anything arising out of edward snowden's leaking of materials -- you have to have a series of events to cardin -- to cover the pardon power. randy on the republican line. go ahead. crimes,richard nixon's if you would have been charged beenonvicted, would have against the private sector -- against the dnc for the break in. if hillary clinton would be charged and convicted, it would be against the state. is there any difference? gu

. ♪ emily: in a rare public appearance, edward snowden weighed in on donald trump and the future of privacyke a listen to what he had to say. >> i try not to look at this as an issue of a single selection of a single president, or even a single government, right. because we see these things, these threats coming across borders. we see the same thing in russia, they've got a new surveillance law, russians call it the big brother law. in china, on the day of the election, the news was talking about how the chinese had just passed a new mass surveillance law and got away with practically no criticism from the international community because they were clever enough to say they modeled it on the united states' own surveillance laws. emily: joining us now from washington, jamil, director of the homeland and national security law program at george mason university school of law. snowden expertly dodged comments specifically about trump, but what do you make, jamil, about the prospect of an n.s.a., a national security agency, that donald trump has the keys to, what does it mean for privacy, what do

we know he's called edward snowden a traitor.favored continuing with the aclu calls buck surveillance. what does this election mean as far as guying in this country? >> that it could get more aggressive. the signals we've got season that this administration would probably keep guantanamo open and start back up with the practice of capturing suspects overseas and bringing them to guantanamo or other places for interrogation. there's even been word from some quarters that they would bring back enhanced interrogation techniques. >> waterboarding. >> what president obama has called torture and add that to the mix. so what you have from the human rights standpoint is a disturbing signal that all the work from the past eight years is about to get undone as they step up a fight anew against various forms of terrorism. one thing i wanted to add is pompeo is on record saying you shouldn't tar the entire muslim community with the terrorist suspect brush so it will be interesting to see him and the national security advisor mike flynn work

amy: the pirate party has offered edward snowden political asylum in iceland or once iceland to offerhat? >> i actually wrote a letter, an open letter when he sought asylum in iceland and urged him not to do it. i have urged him to apply for citizenship because you have much more -- you have much stronger protections against extradition if you are a citizen rather than asylum seeker. thepirate party -- this was first bill the pirates could in in 2013, to offer him citizenship. if he asks for citizenship, we will definitely put the bill hold because it is a pirate party policy. i just want to go over one thing one thing, stress we want president obama to do one thing right, and that is to pardon chelsea manning, the courageous whistleblower who has been serving in prison for many years and still has around 30 truthto go for bringing over war crimes conducted not only in the name in the united states, but with partner states that were participating through nato. very important for iceland to know what is being done in our name and should be important for everybody else in the world, spe

he has called for the death penalty for edward snowden, who leaked national security secrets, and he has spoken about muslims in ways that former president bush and president obama have considered counter productive. also a hard liner, lieutenant general michael flynn to be national security advisor. he is someone who has a more volatile temperament. he is also very bright, and he is praised for his intelligence background. question about temperament is one that will follow him as people watch his performance, and finally, jeff sessions, the alabama senator as attorney general. jeff sessions is someone who was rejected for a federal judgeship in the 1980s by the senate on grounds of his racial views. he is someone who is also tangled with corporate america on immigration and not just illegal immigration, but legal immigration. when marco rubio, orrin hatch, and some other senators in both parties proposed an increase in the h1b visa program that tech companies have relied on. he said this would only quash the dreams of more talented americans than it would glut the market. it would k

nsa does not collect intelligence on american citizens, then weeks later documents leaked by edward snowden showed the nsa was harvesting records about millions of americans' phone conversations. >> that's what they ca call #awkward. >>> trump's talent search yesterday banned state and federal lobbyists from joining the administration and now requires staffers to pledge not to lobby for five years after leaving the government. meanwhile, speculation is running rampant about who will get which plum jobs. senator jeff sessions has helmed the transition and is set to be up for a job himself. here he is yesterday. >> would you like to serve in the administration? >> well, i'd be honored to be considered and mr. trump will make those decisions. >> do you want to be secretary of state? >> i haven't -- if he asked me, i'll share with him, but i'm not talking about my agenda at this point. i'd be pleased to continue serving in the senate. i think it's good that the president-elect is meeting with people like mr. romney. he's meeting with a lot of talented people that are going to be -- that he need

speaking via videostream at a conference in oakland this week, nsa whistleblower edward snowden warned that silicon valley companies like facebook have become too powerful. >> has enough power to reshape the way we think. well, i don't inc. i have to describe how dangerous that is. amy: meanwhile, twitter has suspended several accounts of prominent members of the alt-right movement, criticized for being a haven for white nationalists. but twitter has not suspended the account of steve bannon, donald trump's chief strategist and a leader of the alt-right movement. feminists and people of color have for years called on twitter to crack down on online harassment and abuse. this year, best-selling author and feminist writer jessica valenti quit using social media after she received a rape threat aimed at her child. white house officials have quietly admitted that president obama will no longer push for the trans-pacific partnership, known as the tpp -- meaning the massive proposed trade deal is effectively dead. it would have encompassed 12 pacific rim nations, including the u.s. and 40% o

director -- on a side note that relates to the work we do the intercept, a has said he thininks edward snowdenould be killed and that is a treasonous traitor. domestiche supports surveillance operations, quitting against american citizens. he is a very strong anti-civil liberties background, and that is why he is getting praised from people like general michael hayden and others. democrats also are speaking positively about him. he is another adult in the room. mike pompeo, ok, he is an acceptable guy, one of us, we know we can do business with them. in the business these guys are going to do is bring back a full-blown torture operation. it is not that under obama the cia wasn't engaged in horrifyingly -- horrifying activities of question will legality, it is like with bush and cheney, they ward on their sleeves. cheney's obsession with we have to use forces on the e dark sid. that is coming back in the power right now. juan: i want to ask you, kansas congressmember mike pompeo has a closed closing one-time obey. in 2013, he said the prisoners who were on hunger strike "it looked to me like a

everything that edward snowden revealed. he wants to roll back the very limited, limited reforms that took place after snowden. jeff sessions is an implacable foe of the wonderful movement, bipartisan movement for sentencing reform, criminal justice reform, for trying to do something about mass incarceration. he opposes that. he wants to strengthen the war on drugs. i believe he believes in putting more people in jail and not fewer. as cornell brooks said, he's not going to be in ferguson, trying to feel people's pain and figure out what the right thing to do is. and it worries me, as well, at a time where we're going to see rising dissent, and it's our right. this man lost the popular vote, i'm not saying he's not our president, but he lost the popular vote, we're going to see more dissent, and i'm afraid we'll see the criminalization of dissent under jeff sessions. it's a bad day. it's the worst day we've had since -- >> i agree. pompeo is a critic of hillary clinton, while serving in the select committee on benghazi. when

he also called for the death penalty for nsa whistle blower edward snowden. it's a hard line bunch and racially diverse these five are not. so in regards to this meeting with 2012 standard barer mitt romney, here is hoping he's not window dressing but an actual reach. if not across the aisle, at least towards the center. the cabinet and staff picks in combination with the president-elects twitter attack on quote professional protesters, his unwillingness to die vest himself and family from the businesses as even the wheat journal advises and keeping the american media at bay are all troublesome signs. come on, mr. president, surround yourself with more balance in both perspective and experience not to mention diversity. yes, you won. you're entitled to pick your team, but the selections you make now are going to have long-range implications and you are the president of all of us, not just the 47% who voted for you. joining me now, legendary legal expert alan dershowitz at the harvard law school professor and author of this book, electile dysfunction, a guide

caller: my choice would be edward snowden.crificed a very comfortable life and sacrificed so much because he saw a wrong and try to right it. if anybody deserves the medal of freedom, it would have to be edward snowden, despite the fact that our government is trying to demonize the guy. what he did was out of his conscience, what he thought was best for the country. i support him in what he did. host: thank you for the call. another viewer saying, if you pick too many people, it makes it less special. alan from counsel bloch, iowa. republican line. caller: good morning. . would nominate rush limbaugh unquestionably, the best political analysis that has ever lived. he brought the right side of the argument to the conversation which never had happened before. i would definitely nominate him. know, rushu well limbaugh listens to the program often, so he may replay this on his program. how and why do you think he has influenced american political debate? caller: before we only had leftist screwball ideas. guests on c-span, all lef

we now know through edward snowden's revelations that this is in fact a tremendous problem we have in the country. the problem is that if you don't have privacy, you don't have the space to talk amongst yourselves, then innovation both in the social level can be stymied. also we started with innovation that basically what you will find is that states or innovators can talk among themselves out of the limelight who will be reduced over time and will slow down progress again. it would be very hard to operate in that type of environment and it's not just my opinion. the privacy andcivil liberties oversight board which reported to president obama , confirming the government to routinely collect the records of the entire nation, fundamentally assist the balance of power between state and citizens. while the danger of abuse may seem remote, given historical views, government during the 20th century, the risk is more than moot and theoretically . it is more than theoretical, we still see people in congress trying to expand area expand the rate of the united states. earlier this year, senator

that is why in edward snowden or hillary clinton pardon is on the table.hat an important point is a pardon has to be specific. in other words, does it have to encompass the potential for a certain crime or legal action? or is it just a blanket clearance for the rest the person's life? guest: an important distinction is that it cannot be forward looking. you cannot be pardoned for terminal conduct that has -- for criminal conduct a has yet to take place. retrospect, the president does half to specify to individual -- have specify what the individual is being pardoned four. -- for. so, anything arising out of the e-mail server, or anything arising out of edward snowden's leaking of materials -- you have to have a series of events to cardin -- to cover the pardon power. randy on the republican line. go ahead. crimes,richard nixon's if you would have been charged beenonvicted, would have against the private sector -- against the dnc for the break in. if hillary clinton would be charged and convicted, it would be against the state. is there any difference? gues

some of the things he has talked ,bout, he thinks edward snowden the nsa turncoat, if you want to usehat word, who fled to russia after revealing secrets about eavesdropping, he thinks he should be executed. he thinks the torture techniques that have been banned by the geneva conventions should be allowed and used by the u.s. he thinks guantanamo should stay open. these are the figures we are talking about. michael flynn, the former director of the cia, a mixed picture, he had a good record in the field in iraq and afghanistan tearing down terror networks. as a manager, his marks appear to be a bit more questionable. , he tends to out fly off the cup with his twitter comments. when some people say, look, this is the guy who will be making the final recommendation to the president on issues of national security, do you want someone who has shown a tendency to be a bit rash with his comments? nevertheless, these are the folks the president-elect has chosen. host: there's been some any questions around candidate trump versus president trump. will the to be one in the same or will there b

a lot of millennials with edward snowden, it is their moment.have really demonstrated what is going on with the elite. now we are seeing it in full swing. maybe this will be the spark that will switch is over from the fake democratic system to the westminster model. maybe we will get a house of lords for ourselves the time. host: gary johnson carried about 3% of the national vote. donald trump, 48% and hillary clinton, 47%, bill stein about 1%. barbara in arizona. let me get the right number here. par but you are on the -- barbara you are on the independent line. caller: i have never been into politics. this is the first year i paid attention. i did not much watch what they showed on tv. i do believe that this country is going to be in, i don't know, jeopardy. either way. hillary just happened to have some baggage. maybe somebody needs to look at donald trump's baggage. maybe they might make a comparison somewhere there. i do feel that michelle obama needs to help donald trump's wife assume a wardrobe for her presidency. ,nd i need to let people

[inaudible] as we know now through edward snowden's revelations, this is a tremendous a tremendous problem that we have in this country. if you don't have privacy or the space to talk amongst ourselves then innovation can be stymied. : introduced a bill they crawled the appliance with court orders act. why not comply with court order inside the problem is that it basically says that what service providers, technologists period, and telecommunications people must provide back doors to their technology so the government snoops can get in whenever they want. to the problem is that among many other things we can't be sure what the government will do once they snoop with that information and secondly, bad guys can also find those same book doors and disrupt the economy and innovation as well. i do suspect that if they even thought about it's little bit, that the folks at the democratic national committee wish they used end-to-end encryption. think possibly the worth public policy idea in history -- this includes communism -- is the -- which basically the proponents say better safe than sorry. w

well now, due in no small part to revelations from edward snowden, there was an indication that wikipedia was an easy site to spy on, because it wasn't encrypted. we worked very quickly to encrypt wikipedia. what this has meant for freedom of expression worldwide is actually quite interesting. is https, that means anybody who is spying cannot see what page you are reading. the policy option of being able to filter out specific pages is no longer available. they have to adopt an all or none approach. i'm happy to report that everyone who was filtering out pages is now allowing access to it unfettered. it is too big a price to pay to ban all of wikipedia just to block access to pages you don't like. that has been a big win. that unfortunately has not worked in china. china is now completely blocking wikipedia. we will continue to have dialogue with them. i am very much a believer of having conversations. trying to bring them along. we are very patient. we have no plans to compromise. unfortunately, i think they have no plans to compromise, so we are in a bit of a deadlock. i will say, there
