so, mr. olsen, i want to briefly talk a little bit more about what of thes have been built into this program to minimize the breadth of the sweep of this program in a way that might otherwise pick up american citizen communications in a way that really frankly the intelligence community could care less about. >> thank you, senator. as you mentioned, one of the hallmarks of the legislation all three branches of government play a central role in ensuring that the law is implemented in a way that protects privacy and civil liberties. certainly the executive branch agencies that implement the law are on the front leap lines of oversight and compliance and fisa plays a robust role. i can tell you that the court is not a rubber stamp. it is aggressive and assertive of its oversight of the cases it handles and, of course, this committee and the intelligence committee plays a significant role. all three branches of government are involved in overseeing this authority. with respect in particular to u.s. per

mr. olsen: with respect to the turnout, i have been looking at purple state turnout, and with the exception of ohio, and also with the exception of pennsylvania, republican turnout has vastly exceeded democratic turnout. obviously, we have two competitive races, and if everyone who cast the republican ballot in the primary cast a republican ballot in the fall, the democrats would need to win between 53% and 63% of the remaining voters in order to carry each of those states by one vote. i think that's the promise and the pitfall of the republican party is that, of course, to put that coalition together means to put those three factions together in a coherent way, and the reason why trump may not win is precisely his inability to do that. but i do think that it indicates where a unified republican party could go, which would be extremely hard for a democratic party to respond when you have 50% of the general election voters in the state who are actively considering themselves republicans. we have
