"the guardians of prosperity", if you walk down the streets of new york and show it to 10 people and say this is about the banks, nine out of 10 would tell you you are crazy, you are calling the banks the guardian of prosperity. aren't they the ones that took us down this rabbit hole being the financial crisis. >> i don't think so. they created a lot of bad, wrong things that occurred. they didn't create the financial crisis. that is the problem. if we had gone to the core reasons for creation of the financial crisis, we might have started to come up with real solutions to what had happened, but we chose not to do that, to focus on the banks and by focussing on the banks we passed a lot of laws and regulations that harmed the american consumer. >> what is the core reason? >> the core reason is that we had an enormous trade deficit in the united states, resulting in a billion and a quarter to a billion and a half per day for decades sent to other countries, and we built up a massive amount of lendable funds in those countries. when this money came back to the united states in the tomo

of the crisis on civilization and investigative journalist for the guardian wrote about the recent report in an article titled the war on democracy he joined me earlier to break down the report and how corporate espionage ties into the potentially cataclysmic environmental crises we face today i first asked him to explain a program called in for guard. which is really interesting because it is this partnership between the f.b.i. . the u.s. department of homeland security and a whole range of very large private companies many of. basically fortune five hundred companies and it's something like i mean the figure in the report was twenty thousand but actually it's. an old figure it's more it's approaching thousands ago thirty thousand to thirty thousand very very large corporations in partnership with the f.b.i. and this partnership basically involves them basically feeding information into the f.b.i. . and what they want the so basically. get involved in. terms of espionage in terms of intelligence activity so it's no surprise. range of various leaked documents and other kinds of informatio

when mps held a special debate on the disclosures, this mp spring to "the guardian"'s defe nse. >> forechnology changes in the capacity of states and companies to collect and analyze data grows massively. we growing dangerously walking into a surveillance state. >> we are in a situation today where "the guardian," which had every right to report on this issue which has raised important topics of debate, which has done so in a digital, a global way, an interesting way with good journalism. >> this focus on "the guardian" is really quite extraordinary, if you compare it to the fact that you were talking about "the guardian." in the u.s. they're talking about the important issues, citizens privacy. shouldn't we get onto talking about that? >> this is the secret state, the government acting without the knowledge and permission of its citizens, a flagrant breach of individuals moral and probably legal rights for what it believes is the common good. >> who is judge injury? -- judge and jury in this? i would venture a stage with some site of oversight is a better judge and jury. then the jour

and economic editor at the guardian.ur in-house private equity expert will tell you what he thinks of joe lieberman joining a pe firm, what it says about the industry, and ben bernanke on how the fed is changing. treasury yields trading at their highest level since 2011. we will be taking you there live in about 30 minutes. speaking of that, phil mattingly with me from d.c.. what can bernanke say about the fed as he is on his way out to? >> we are about a half hour away from ben bernanke taking the stage. it is a few weeks after policy makers may then move to trim the bond buying program in less -- and less than one month away from his last months in office. this is being billed as his last major speech, likely a review of the turbulent time he has resided over. the fed's decision to start its taper came amid a series of economic reports. those positive economic reports have continued into the new year. it will be very interesting to see what, if anything, he says about his successor. the senate is to confirm janet yelle

i know that you are no longer with the guardian.uipped and qualified to make such enormous decisions? thank you. >> mr. greenwald? >> part of freedom of the press, an important part of freedom of the press that we have been talking about this morning is that fortunately journalists do not have to answer to government officials about what the sources gave them or how that is the got the material that they are allowed to protect their sources and to protect their journalistic materials on the invasion by questions from the government, like some of the ones that you just had. mr. snowden is the source for the reporting that we've done at the guardian. who specifically at the guardian received the material. and when they received it, i think that it is not that anyone's concerned. mr. snowden has been identified as the sort because he wanted to be identified as the source. but beyond that i am not going to answer questions about specifically when we got the document or who got the document or when we decided to share them with one anoth

about intelligence gathering for "the guardian " was one of the first journalists edward snowden reached out to. >> he has brought to light lies. >> investigators clouded. program. >> a u.s. judge ruled the collection of domestic telephone unconstitutional. >> only a check on those in power is if we the public know what we are doing. >> edward snowden remains in exile without a u.s. passport, facing espian acknowledge charges. for some, he's a traitor, for

not to hide them from "the guardian" but to hide them from those are out to harm them.ave communicated those documents. if you had known about the enigma code or in world war ii which have provided the information to the nazis? spent that is a red herring. don't -- i think most journals can make a distinction. the truth is this is very well-worn mantra that has been dealt with by the supreme court and that you learn when you deal in ncpj courts. >> there were lighter moments as well and the spying saga, saying the phone of the german chancellor angela markle has been monitored for 10 years by u.s. intelligence prompted the question to the prime minister. >> did he discuss with chancellor merkel the target by the american intel services offer phone antennae tell the house whether his own has been targeted and if not, why not? [laughter] >> there was a very good moment at dinner when one eu commission said how disappointed was that clearly no one was interested in his conversations. i won't reveal who it was, but -- but the point is this, that we do not comment on these i

"the guardian" revealed that they are taking in 200 million text messages a day, text messages are content. >> that's not just the meta data than when mr. clapper, the director much national intelligence told us oath and in front of the senate, we are not collecting any sort of data on hundreds of millions of americans. >> that was a lie and i think there is every reason to believe they are lying now. >> mr. elsberg, we appreciate your time. thanks for talking to us.

they do not want to become the government passed guardians. they are stressing that. the telecom providers themselves do not want to do this. and for good reason. the telecom companies do not take an oath of allegiance to protect domestically and internationally. it is not a small matter. it is a big matter. they are neither counterterrorism agencies or protection organizations.

. >> but that's not what keller or his wife, emma, said in "the guardian." >> "the guardian" took downer column after this criticism erupted. she made a partial apology saying given lisa adams' health, she should have given her advanced warning in the article saying that she was going to quote from private messages. i regret not toing so. >> all journalists will gasp at that. you can't do that, under the guise of talking to someone as a friend then quote them in "the guardian." >> but bill keller point out that his wife has been a double mastecto mastectomy. >> are you saying you think it's well deserved? >> no. she's a mother of three going about her own business who is at stage four cancer. when this happened, she was going through the worst radiation treatment she could have. and now has to defend her on twitter and on facebook. how insensitive. she should be focusing on her care. and i admire emma keller for apologyizing and i think bill keller should do the same. >> obviously, he thinks he was misconstrued. >> obviously, a lot of people don't. and attacking a young woman who is tr

, and given such parent guardian, a reasonable opportunity to be present for any police interrogation unless the child is suspected victim of child abuse, and i think that this call is very important, that the students are questioned in the presence of their parent or guardian for their protection. but that also the reasonable opportunity and i believe that probably your office may define that, but i would encourage that at least an hour's time i think that most of our parents getting a call, need to get permission to leave their job site and then also, probably most of our parents use the public transportation as the mode of transportation and so that it would take them at least an hour to get to the school site before their child is questioned by the police. so, i am leaving it up to you, but i think and i just wanted to bring it to the attention of my colleagues that is something that we should be looking at since we know that a lot of the parents have to take the public transportation to the school sites and since we have the full choice we have many students who go to school far

callouses guardians would argue the legal guardian. i guess this of others who've had this and no one has can tell me why being successful they would go to groups i know why i know exactly why. because for people like me who are who are in recovery. you are born feeling empty on a certain level. and you are looking unconsciously or consciously to fill that. and if you want to be an artist if you want to be an actor if you want to be a musician you think man if i ever make it it's going to fix me so then you make it and doesn't fix you now what hence the drugs the alcohol when my merge the second marriage failed i opened up to the possibility of a person rather than the gender i have never stopped being attracted to women so we're now dealing with the subject of bisexual with this subject is very misunderstood because the old the jews you are even gay your street where you have one. it's just not true and so i spend a few pages but i think the remarkable thing is that would have been the front page headline ten years ago and the society

"the guardian" that first published snowden's information is calling for an outright pardon.ew defense in a christmas day video message. >> the conversation occurring today will determine the amount of trust we can play both in the technology that surrounds us and the government that regulates it. >>> joining mess now is glen greenwald. he broke scoop after scoop on the nsa using information that snowden gave to him. also rules marcus, column u.s. from "the washington post," that wrote a piece calling snowden an insufferable whistle-blower. the times board also writes, when someone reveals that government officials have routinely and deliberately broken the law, that person should not face life in prison at the hands of the same government. do you agree with the times that snowden should get some form of clemency? >> no, i don't. in fact, i think he should have -- if he really believes in the constitution, as i wrote, he should have stuck around, tested the constitutional system, taken his punishment, argued he was justified in the leaks he didn't. he didn't. he just turned t

the new york times editorial board in coordination with the guardian newspaper in the u.k.y,part for a return to status because he was simply a whistle blower. your reaion to iraq. >> well, the guardian and the new york times should both change the name. clearly, he did a service in the sense of advising us about the way the obama administration as shredded the fourth ammndment. that said to me it was perfectly possible to handle that with the united states. looks increasingly as if he was working for the russians all along. the obama administration, as it once, does not defend america. we could have kidnapped snowden in hong kong and brought him home. he should be brought home either openly or covertly so that he can be tried, convicted command executed as a trader. >> two groups in five administrations. the bureaucrats who don't want to see an agency going dn like this, and the other, let's keep in min but then the camp of the obama campaign, those who want to criticize the ageies in bringing down. the result is will we see right now. lou: thank you both, gentlemen. >> th

dick, "9 guardians of prosperity." i think if you walk down the streets of new york and show this to ten people and say this is why america needs the banks, nine out of ten would call you crazy. aren't the banks the one who took us down this rabbit hole that ended up being the financial crisis? >> i don't think so. they were a big part in creating the bad things, 9 wrong things that occurred, but they didn't create the financial crisis. that's the problem. if i did gone to the core reasons of the financial crisis we might come up with real solutions of what happened. but we chose not to do that. we chose to focus on the banks. by chosing on the banks we passed on a lot of laws and regulations that has really harmed the american consumer. >> in your sense what is the core reason? >> the core reason is we had an enormous trade deficit in the united states which resulted to $1.25 billion per day for decades being sent to other countries. we built up a massive amount of lendable funds. when they came back in the forms of i

glen greenwald reported in the guardian that the national security agency had been collecting the are details of verizon's customers. nine companies including google, facebook and apple had been giving the nsa direct access to all user data. president obama said the math was simple. >> you can't have 100% security, and also, then, have 100% privacy, and zero ininconvenience. >> a few days later, snowden took to the air waves and identified himself as the nsa contractor. >> even if you are not doing anything wrong you're being watched and recorded. >> he added that nearly everything can be held indefinitely. >> the storage capability of these systems increases every year. >> the revelations from snowden kept coming. in late june the guardian reported the gchq had intercepted communications of world leaders at a summit meeting in 2009. another guardian record it tracking data around the globe and the nsa was secretly helping to pay for it. in august the washington post reported that an internal audit had showed that the agency had broken its own privacy regulations more than 2700 times.

becoming less safe now recall the government had sent a couple of officials to the offices of the guardian newspaper and destroyed some of the computers and hard drives over there containing those the said the revelations by edward snowden and all of this in the name of national security and again one of the arguments that he brought forth in the use of collection of data he said that a lot of the tea. all the shows that he's watched it was through the use and gathering of mobile phone data information that criminals were caught this seems to be one of the arguments put forward in defense of the activities of the intelligence services going back to the general strategy that one of the goals is to enhance alliances of the u.k. however just a day before the german chancellor angela merkel criticized once again the cooperation between the u.s. in the u.k. and spying on their allies and in fact she said the end result is not more security but less the international chemical weapons watch dog is meeting to bulls to the drive to eliminate syria's toxic but on the eve of the gathering the u.s. na
