franklin lamb who is an international lawyer and political analyst and he joins us now live from beirut mr ron thank you so much for being with us here on our team to discuss this so in your opinion of what are the chances that weapons supplies will start this week. i was. six hundred percent chance with the americans will fly only find a quote reliable don't need to supply so be these weapons to i think the obama administration is willing to do. in a modest way only to placate some of the dio colleagues and some of those congress like plain and lindsey graham whether you could you know the american people are behind. this only twenty four percent in a recent poll said that they would think that that would be a wise power for the american over half want to stay out of it so i think there is some chance but still there's a remaining problem for the administration finding a reliable a group to give these arms to that would really do any good given all the that all that's that why shit americans are saying that they will be sending arms to moderate rebel groups but how can they be sure down the e

. >>> a lot of news overnight, for that we turn to mr. ron claiborne. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with a tragedy right next door to oklahoma in texas, the deadliest fire in the history of the houston fire department. four firefighters were killed when a restaurant burst into flames, the fire spreading to a neighboring motel. miya shay from ktrk has the latest. >> reporter: the smell of fire still lingers in the air here at the southwest inn, the scene of the deadliest day in the history of the houston fire department. the fire apparently began in the downstairs portion of the motel in a restaurant. it quickly spread. firefighters got to the scene and initially thought people may be trapped, they went all in, soon it was discovered that four of their own had perished. among the dead, they range from a probationary firefighter who just graduated from the academy a few months ago, all of the way to a 12-year veteran, a captain of the fire department. in addition, 13 other firefighters were injured, ranging from minor injuries all of the way to having to have a leg amputated

bill: we brought you in to talk to mr. ron paul. i appreciate you can react and turn on a dime. ron paul said about the possibility of a drone attack on snowden. roll this and we'll listen to it. >> i'm worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile, or a drone ms. h missile. we live in a bad time where american citizens don't even have rights, and that they can be killed. but the gentleman is trying to tell the truth about what is going on. bill: what is going on. hyperbole or what? do you think he went a little too far? >> here is the problem. the president's use of drones to kill americans is patently, clearly and unconditio conditionally unlawful. but the president has done it and established his own rules for doing so. the congress never stabbed the rules, the courts never established these rules. bill: a good example the american living in yemen. >> one paul's fear is the president might establish a newette set of rules to enable them to take mr. snowden without so he doesn't have to go through the messiness of a trial which would expose more

he was the -- mr. ron bell. he was the one who advised me he was waiting for guidance from his superiors. then it was passed to mr. mitch steele. then the most recent letter, which came as recent as may 6, was from a woman whose name i cannot pronounce. >> we will get it from you later. >ms. belsom. one.seph herr was the only >> dr. eastman? >> we had a couple inspectors we do with. i will provide those names to you. >> ms. kenney? >> mr. steele. .> ms. martinek >> i will provide that. .obert cho i have an id number for the workers. i do not have his name. ronald bell. stephen steele. lois lerner. and holly paz. in the last page of my testimony is my timeline. all the names are in there, as well as the id number. >> thank you. >> mr. thompson is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank all the witnesses for taking your time to be here. it is important we figure this out. ms. kenney, i want to particularly thank you with your work -- for your work with veterans. being one myself, i appreciate that v

my case was switched to the desk of the mr. ron bell, and he was the one who was waiting on guidance from his superior at his organization and other similar organizations. i was then passed to a mr. mitch stehle, and them the most recent letter, which came as recently as may 6 was from a woman from a name who i can't pronaps. >> we'll get if from you later. >> thank you. >> hear was the only one. >> we had a couple from the inspector general's name. i'll provide those. >> mitch steel. >> other names possibly? >> holly paws comes to mind. >> okay. >> i'll provide that. robert, chow i have an id number, ronald bell, steven lois lerner, and in the last page of the testimony is the time line and all these names are in there as well as the id number. >> all right. thank you. i yield back. >> thank you. mr. thompson's recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank all the witnesses for taking your time to be here. it's important that we figure all of this out. ms. kenny, i want to particularly thank you for your work with vetera

mr. clapper went on another network and said that his response, and i know what you're talking about. senator ronper went on the andrea mitchell program and said it was the least truthful answer he could give. i'm guessing you're saying that is not satisfactory. should the president ask for his resignation? >> i can't imagine how you regain your credibility when you lie, come in front of the senate, and a senator asks you a direct question, which by the way he was warned of, according to senator wyden's office, they called the director of national intelligence and said, we are going to ask you this question. so even though he was told in advance he would get the question, he still lied in a public hearing. i think there needs to be an open debate and americans need to decide are you willing to give up the data on all of your phone calls every day all the time because of your fear for terrorism or do you think like i do that you can catch terrorists and have the bill of rights at the same time? i think you can have both. >> so should mr. clapper resign do you think? >> the president has to decide

mr. snowden has revealed about the government that makes them want to put him into prison so eagerly. you said there were other ways to do this. ron wyden and mark udall has been running around the country for three years now saying the obama administration has been using secret law to engage in domestic spying that would stun the american people and yet they were prevented even members of the senate intelligence committee were prevented from

mr. snowden has what he says he has, then it does more than that. even what it's telling -- if he could prove that to a ronyden or somebody, i do think it could have been worth a try. what he's done now, and you're right, some people's a hero, what he's done is a felony. are there times chat that is appropriate? probably above my pay grade. if he can prove the government was lying even to congress, i suspect they would have gone to the floor of the senate and said i have been shown evidence and tried to blow it up, tried to take it in a political direction. but he decided to do what he did. >> i'm just reading on my blackberry now, a press release from wikileaks saying that-of we knew some of it, but confirming snowden has asked wikileaks legal advisers to help and they're apparently -- he's bund for a democratic nation for the purpose of asylum and is being escorteded by diplomats and legal advisers from wikileaks. >> diplomats. i have to run, but i wanted to -- thank you so much. glenn greenwald, thank you for joining us. i'm shr we'll be talking to you if you you'll let us throughout the rest of the day

mr. clapper was asked by senator ron wyden, does the nsa collect any type of data on millions or hundreds of millions of america. clapper's response, no, sir not wittingly. there are cases where they could inadvertently, perhaps collect but not wittingly. that's fine, right? who among us, he among you has never collected data on millions of americans. but less than three months later, came the news that our government was indeed collecting data via phone records and internet histories but you know, only a select few americans make phone calls or go on the internet so this only potentially affects you and everyone you've ever met or ever will meet and everyone else. so what's the big deal, right? but mr. clapper was committing perjury. very serious charge. if it involves baseball players not so much when it comes to your privacy. as far as the establishment is concerned, this is perjury light. the same old taste of a great lie told before congress. nothing serious like steroids and baseball. now, andrea mitchell asked mr. clapper to explain the seeming disparity between his answer to senat

mr. snowden has good reason to fear severe consequences with prosecutors likely to make an example of him. the former texas congressman ron paul is he fears mr. snowden's fate could be worse. >> somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or drone missile. we live in a bad time where american sit accepts don't even have rights, and that they can be killed. but the gentleman is trying to tell the truth about what is going on. jon: meanwhile a four-star general finds himself in the eye of the storm about national secrets, and widespread surveillance. army general keith alexander is director of the national security agency, and head of the u.s. cyber security command. he'll appear today before a senate hearing marking the first time an official for the nsa appears in public since the secrets leaked out. senators will want to know more about the extent of surveillance programs and what is being done to prevent another damaging leak of highly class need secrets. charlie hurt is a columnist for the washington times. charlie, as all of this is boiling in washington, where is the president? what are we hearing

mr. snowden to the ends of the earth to bring him to justice. but others are praising snowden. ron paul said snowden and green wald have done a great service to the american people by exposing the truth about what our government is doing in secret. >> learn more during a closed door briefing. >> immigration reform is back in the spotlight today. the senate is set to hold first votes this afternoon to allow debate on the issue. a group of senators crafted the legislation but still faces uncertain future. opponents call it amnesty for people living in the country illegally. >> expecting more unsettled weather today. a tornado wiping out several hos and barns. this is in kentucky yesterday. e minor injuries there. maryland was also hit as well . one touched down right outside of baltimore. >> look how close it was to the house. it didn't take the house. and we were throughout the house. we weren't hiding in the base at . >> it was hellacios. i saw the one tree. and we got in the base amount. >> there were no injuries but fallen trees blocked a number of roads in that area. >> time now

mr. boehner are on one side. on the other, a different bipartisan clique led by democratic senator ron wyden today demanding new hearings for the purpose of determining whether administration officials have told the truth about data collection. >> it's not possible for the congress to do the kind of vigorous oversight that the president spoke about if you can't get straight answers. >> joining us now is dana milbank, a political columnist for the "washington post" and professor michael eric dyson of georgetown university. i'd like to put this question to you if i might begin with the profess professor. it's a serious question. is edward snowden a traitor? professor dyson. >> well, that depends on who's speaking. i think that many people think that if the president said let's have a vigorous conversation, i welcome debate about what's going on in this country around intelligence gathering and data collections, then edward snowed is a hero to many people, a whistleblower and not a traitor. a traitor to the worst instincts of american democracy. whether or not he can technically be tried is a different matter. but i think

mr. speaker. today i rise to welcome pastor ron dunn to the house floor and thank him for sharing his inspiring words this morning. pastor dunn has served in a number of ministry roles for the last 15 years. currently he's senior pastor to revolution church of god in harrison, michigan, where he encouraged the church to serve the community by offering counseling services and donating items such as clothing, diapers, and formula. before joining the ministry he was a member of the united states army for eight years and served in operations desert shield and desert storm. he and his wife have three daughters. on we half of the united states house of representatives -- behalf of the united states house of representatives, i would like to thank him for offering his prayer and service to god, community, and our country. god bless you and god bless the united states of america. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair lays before the house a communication. the clerk: the honorable the speaker, house of representatives. sir. pursuant to the permission granted in clause 2-h of rule 2 of t

ron paul. thank you for joining me. >> thank you, chuck. nice to be with you. >> i want to start with this issue. you called mr.-- you have praised him and essentially said that he's a hero in this case. you've heard there's a lot of senators, both democrats and republicans, who believe what he did was illegal and should be treated as a traitor. why shouldn't he be treated as a traitor? >> well, it is probably illegal. there's laws against this. but what about the people who are breaking the law, violating the constitution? even using the patriot act extensively and said they did the act within the law. who's going to punish them? why not talk about those individuals breaking the law and which one has the higher order, the constitution and the written law or the authority of the executive branch who controls the enforcement of laws? i would say that the bigger the government gets the greater threat is the lack of knowing the truth of things. so really, my goal in life has always been to try to figure out what the the law and individual who is are willing to take a risk and realize the danger of telling the peop

ron burgundy on this earth to do. have salon-quality hair and read the news. >> yesterday, mr. and tweeted, i'm in a kimono, smoking a cigar, while writing this. it's getting so much buzz. you'll have to wait, though. not being released until december. >> i love it. >>> and finally, everybody, a beloved captain feeling the crunch on social media. an eagle-eye cereal eater noticed, captain crunch, only three stripes on his arm, in naval terms means, no captain. the captain is -- the so-called captain is horacio magellan crunch. it should be commander crunch. it take four stripes to become a captain. the cereal has the final word. george -- he tweeted, of course, i'm a captain. it's the crunch, not the clothes that make a man. george, back to you. >> thank you, lara. >>> we were going to go to weather. but sam doesn't seem up to it right now. >>> first of all, it doesn't matter if he's a commander or a captain. that's the most delicious cereal, period. ladies and gentlemen, let's show you what's going on in times square. our folks are here. we're coming out momentarily as -- just

. >> i don't know what ron wyden is doing asking the director of intelligence about a program he knows is top secret. one could ask the same question about mrden. why is he asking a question about a top secret program in this middle of an open hearing. let's go to the suggestion of trust. i think the polling suggest american people on big issues do continue to trust president obama. on the issue of national security, the issue of keeping us safe, the issue of relating to whether or not the economy is getting better. i think the president retains strong favorability rating. the polling suggests around this, his favorability ratings overall are unchanged. i think the point your other guest was making is nonsense. >> his favorability is pretty good, but trust numbers are plummeting. you have seen a 20 point drop just over the past couple of weeks. go ahead, kate. >> a lot of polls are actually showing the president dipping below 50%. in terms of favorability among the american people. the broader problem here when it comes to the trust factor, do people trust the deposit, not just how it will impact the next mid-terms or presidential election,

. >> bill: there is also the story about senator ron wyden particularly unhappy with the fact that at a hearing a couple of months ago, he asked mr. -- he asked james clapper general clapper, head of the nsa -- right? or the director of intelligence. he asked him this hearing -- at this hearing, he asked this question: does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? and clapper replied, no, sir"no, sir ". was he telling the truth ginger? doesn't seem like it? >> it appears he was not telling the truth. it would also appear that senator wyden at that time knew he wasn't telling the truth and he had access to this classified information. he asked the question on the record in a public hearing and senator wyden told a group of reporters yesterday he tried to give him another opportunity to come back later and and that answer, that he had the question the day before so he should have been prepared with an answer that was truthful, but he got none of those things. so in the most con dealial senatorial way, senator wyden was chastising clapper for giving him an untruthful answer. >> bill:

ron, gw policy institute. congratulations, you kept your clearance. [laughter] i guess the question i would ask and maybe i will ask this of mr. schieffer, you and i are certainly old enough to remember you covered richard nixon. there was a time in which under kennedy and johnson a lot of the practices that he engaged in would have been acceptable. at least they were kept quiet and people ignored them or they were kept down. one of the things that strikes me about this, we've that the war for 12 or 13 years, and there have certainly been a lot along the line. a lot of statements along the line the press may or may not have picked up on our didn't pick up on and they would indicate this kind of thing was beginning to coalesce and come together. do you think that we just arrived at the point where -- is there a lot of stuff just sort of laying around here that someone finally collapsed and put together or is it something that through brand new discovery? it doesn't strike me like that but i'm curious -- >> are you saying that this somehow has something to do with other things? >> i'm not so sure the press has done a great job o
