i didn't support the patriot act, but the patriot act would have gone down if we had known this was going to be part of its program. house,he floor of the you have the house majority leader, you have the speaker of the house, and the house minority leader all got up in

going against the patriots the patriots defense did a great job of keeping them off balance. once again, these teams, they practice together all week. but they need each other in week three. so either one of these coaches really want to go out and throw everything out. so i think it will be different game during the regular season when these two teams meet. >> kenny: off the play fake, glennon fires down field and the pass is incomplete, justin green and wilson on the coverage, pass intended for david douglas. >> daryl: david douglas gets vertical right away. this is a well-thrown ball by mike glennon right in that area. little bit of contact right near the point of catch. justin green might have got away with one there. >> kenny: third down and three. glennon hands it off. this is james and mike james, rookie out of miami, picks up first down. these teams play week agree of the regular season, which is unusual to play a team in the preseason and then face that same team that early in the regular season. coaches are good friends, but they're pretty vanilla during the practice

patriots on the sideline and patriots offense on the field. tebow takes off.nd picks up a first down. >> daryl: that's not -- you can see the guard pulling right there as he comes across to get the kickout. that's not tim tebow pulling it down. when you have him back there you want to take advantage of what your quarterback does the best. right now at this stage of his career in the nfl, i think tim tebow is more dangerous as a runner. we talked about proving working with josh mcdaniels again, there's certain throws he throws really well. there's other ones that get him into trouble. he is on the field, you will have some called quarterback runs as a part of your offense. >> kenny: patriots took too much time. >> referee: delay of game, offense, five-yard penalty, still first down. >> kenny: and of course as we saw in denver, we were there for game against chicago couple of years back, tebow was always at his best with the game on the line. >> daryl: absolutely. usually kicked it into high gear about two minutes ago when you got inside four minutes he started

snowden was a patriot. as i said in my opening remarks, i call for a thorough review of our surveillance operations before mr. snowden made these leaks. my preference, and i think the american people's preference, would have been for a lawful, orderly examination of these walls -- laws. a thoughtful, fat-based debate that would then lead us to a better place. because i never made claims that all of the surveillance have developedat since the time that these will -- these laws were put in place some have did not require some additional reforms. that is exactly what i called for. that mr. snowden has been charged with three felonies. fact, he believes that what he did was right, then like every american citizen, he can come here, appeared before the court with a lawyer, and make his case. the concern was that somehow this was the only way to get this information out to the public, i signed an executive order well before mr. snowden leaked this information that provided whistleblower protection to the intellig

are patriots. probably what has annoyed me the most over the last several months is people casually using words like "spying," "snooping." does anybody think general alexander wants to snoop on america? i think that demeans the whole political dialogue and that's why i wish the president would be more outgoing and defend the n.s.a. a lot more than he did. this has really bane sland or the thousand of good men and women who every day dedicate their thrives our country and particularly general alexander, who is as patriotic as anyone i have ever met in government or

>> i'm so darn tired of the president hide behind the patriot act. the patrioting at, patriot act. this is the patriot act on steroids. >> that is not the patriot act. it was passed with certain parameters and they're right here. we talked about them. i'm surprised the fisa -- >> that can be monday. >> you know something? your pal that you love so much darrell issa -- >> my pal. >> -- after three months of investigation, he has not come up with one single solitairy evidence. >> why don't you come up with something juicy? this is not very hospitable. >> you kiss him more than anybody else. >> they've got the trail leading all the way to a high-level washington attorney -- lobbyist/attorney. >> i'm getti inting yelled at f saying you kissed his butt. >> now you told everybody. the president also addressed republicans and the whole idea of paul ryan wanting throw granny over the cliff, apparently republicans don't want you to have health care. take a listen. >> my friends in the other party have made the idea of preventing these people from getting health care, they're ho-- their holy

snowden was a patriot. as i said in my opening remarks, i called for a thorough review of our surveillance operations before mr. snowden made these leaks. the fact is that mr. snowden has been charged with three felonies. if, in fact, he believes that what he did was right, then like every american citizen, he can come here, appear before the court with a lawyer, and make his case. i signed an executive order well before mr. snowden leaked this information that provided whistleblower protection to the intelligence community for the first time. so there were other avenues available for somebody whose conscience was stirred and thought that they needed to question government actions. >> there is a tension here. the white house says it believes in this debate. it believes in the reforms the debate has made possible but not big fans of edward snowden. president obama said we could have and probably would have ended up in the exact same place without him, but to you remember this moment from march? >> what i wan

he called them patriots. so he was asked if he thought edward snowden should be considered a patriot for raising the question that he raised. listen to what he thinks. >> no, i don't think that mr. snowden was a patriot. mr. snowden has been charged with three felonies. if he in fact believes what he did was right hereby can come here with a lawyer make his case. >> i was struck by the fact of how far the president went to say i was asking these very same questions before edward snowden. it wasn't a very strong co condemnation. >> he directly addressing edward snowden. that's an interesting debate to have. one of the problems is because edward snowden has been the person talking the most about this program, that has been the result here. it's largely an issue defined by what edward snowden is saying to various reporters. this is an opportunity again to take charge, to take this opportunity to really offer a really robust defense and explanation of this program and why it makes americans safe. >> hillary, you

jon: we mentioned that you were the primary author of the patriot act.t ways have they gone beyond what you and congress, in your view, intended? >> well, they've completely tipped over the standard of relevance beyond what is in the dictionary and what common sense is. what the patriot actses says is if there was a foreigner, meaning not a u.s. sit sfwlen and not a green card holder who is the target of an authorized terrorism investigation, then they could collect the phone records and the email records of the people that the foreigner had been contacted, whether it was a u.s. person or a foreign person and be able to work from there. so it goes from who the authorized target was so the people that he was spotted with rather than getting the haystack of trillions of calls and trying to find a needle in a haystack that was obviously too big for them to manage. jon: what have the folks in wisconsin said to you about this n.s.a. program? >> they are outraged and i took an awful lot of goff as the author of the patriot act because i thought it would be res

conceded that the bulk collection of phone records and minds of americans under section 215 of the patriot act has been key in stopping only one terror plot. more after the headlines. in breaking news, the russian broadcaster rt is reporting edward snowden has been issued travel papers and has already left the moscow airport where he has been stranded for over a month. snowden had remained there despite reports last week russia had granted him temporary asylum. snowden's father has revealed the fbi tried to enlist him in traveling to russia to convince is under return to the united states. russian television network, he said he refused. >> to be in a notional tool for the nbi to use against the fbi to say your father is on the aircraft, what are you come talk to him, i wasn't interested in that area did i wanted there to be valued to my son and i hope you're watching. your family is well and we love you. we hope you're healthy. we hope you are well. i hope to see you soon. but most of all, i want you to be safe. >> edward snowden has been issued travel papers and has left the moscow airpor

i believe that everything in the patriot act at we passed was consistent in principle with the things that have been done by law enforcement for years and decades, in terms of the ability to issue subpoena and obtain the records. there are a few new applications of its two new technologies. essentially, the principles were maintained. would you agree? >>lex yes. i think that we have struck the balance properly. there is always room for discussion and getting people's inputs. sometimes, we revisit these things and make sure that we get a balance right. >> i agree with that. this haystack of phone numbers, there is no ability to listen to any of these conversations that occurred, is there? >> no. we do not capture these conversations. there is no ability and no possibility of listening to conversations. lawyer, intelligence you had the ability to tap a terrorist phone call in yemen. that person calls into the united states on a lawful wiretap, do you listen to the call? is that right? a wiretap listens to the conversation that the bad guy has with whoever they call. >> that is correct.

the patriot act was written in a way, john tesenbrenner said i wrote the patriot act, this is not whats supposed to be used for. it's been corrupted. time to scratch it and start over. >> eric: john, before we go. do we pull funding for nsa or too important to keep in place? >> what is iportant, eric, is win the war. poll tis on both sides of the aisle resigned that we will always be in conflict against islam. by naming the enmy and taking steps to defeat them, we don't worry about them hurting bus the government violating. >> eric: you say defund it, wayne? >> i say defund it. i say do fig. but the first thing is you have to do it legally. to say that the supreme court who opponents, hail to the supreme court, appoints the other court, you have to stop this, this is a violation of the fourth amendment. this is a constitutional issue. they are paying no attention to it. >> eric: coming up, i plause from ashton. not from hollywood. but conservatives. why his speech is getting big thumbs up. >> i'm not familiar with ashton kutcher politics but all i know is what he saidis right on. all i

and had tough words for the nsa leaker edward snowden, said he was not a patriot. take a look. >> mr. snowden's been charged with three felonies. if he believes what he did was right, then like every american citizen, he can come here, appear before the court with a lawyer, and make his case. >> so, what have you been able to learn about what u.s. officials are trying to do to get snowden right now? >> some officials i've talked to wish that a deal could be struck to bring him back to the u.s. make no mistake. one official said he has done irrefutable damage. the more the terrorists know how we can monitor them, the less we will be able to. that's the single most important asset we have. some officials say we don't know all of what he has, we don't want him in the hands of the russians. whatever message it would send, he's gotten the president of the united states to make some changes. but the justice department has given no indication a deal is in the works. >> some pushing for it. thanks. >>> now to the exclusive interview with lon snowden. the family's lawyer, t

and the president just immediately shot that down and said edward snowden is not a patriot he's facing three charges you know including espionage charges and this seems to be the move that's also coming from congress even among members of congress who are reformers who are using edward snowden's leaks to try and pass legislation arraigning the n.s.a. or bring transparency the pfizer court aren't willing to give any credit to edward snowden himself they've said that he needs to go to jail he needs to face punishment i mean just in a marsh is really the only member of congress who's called him a whistle blower you've had a few members of congress compare him to you know say his actions were like civil disobedience almost like martin luther king but for the vast majority of members of congress they're not willing to stand with edward snowden on this interesting now sam was there anything else significant that was talked about in this press conference sure you know the president said that these programs aren't being abused he said he's comfortable with the level of oversight in these progr

snowden was a patriot. as i said in my opening remarks, i called for a thorough review of our surveillance operations before mr. snowden made these leaks. my preference, and i think the american people's preference, would have been for a lawful, orderly examination of these laws. a thoughtful, fact-based debate that would then lead us to a better place. >> he uses so much jarring an, it is incredible. i mean -- >> i wrote that down in my notes. we think so much alike. when you talk about the i see and the ct, intelligence community and counter terrorism. he could talk you to death. >> it's amazing. i think that's what he tried to do. here's the thing that drove me nuts about that. he is talking about moving the debate forward and it is not a response to snowden and how he had these ideas before the snowden's leak. baloney, this is because of snowden, correct? >> there is no other explanation. i guess what he was trying to do is say technology is changing so we have to keep up with the times. do i think that

david, the president said civil libertarians are patriots.e play a clip when he was asked directly if he considered edward snowden to be a patriot. >> no, i don't think mr. snowden was a patriot. the fact is mr. snowden is charged with frthree felonies. if in fact, he believes what he did was right, like every american citizen, he can come here, appear before the court with a lawyer, and make his case. >> it interrupted what could have been examination of these laws, a thoughtful fact base. david, would there have been a debate really without snowden? >> no, not of the volume and intensity and level of public concern that we see now. clearly, snowden triggered that. the president himself said that. i think this is almost a classic obama where he's being so cautious that sometimes the message gets mutt led. on one hand he says he wasn't a patriot and on the other hand he did help move this debate forward. instead of having him come down hard on snowden and what he did, which was treacherous, which was what, you know, the republicans who had be

i didn't support the patriot act, but the patriot act would have gone down if we had known this was goingo be part of its program. house,he floor of the you have the house majority leader, you have the speaker of the house, and the house minority leader all got up in really an unprecedented fashion and spoke in favor of keeping these nsa programs going. i was more optimistic, i think, then my colleague here, that it could pass. i think the straw that broke the camel's back was when the president came out ash i'm not blaming the democrats because more of them voted in favor of the constitution and freedom on this issue, but when the president came out and gave the extra little nudge, i think you heard us on the democrat side, but i will defer to my colleague, more of his members voted the right way on this than . we will take a break and come back to this discussion, speaking to congress members thomas massie and john conyers. d.c. at in washington, the capital. stay with us. ♪ [music break] >> this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. we are goin

on one hand he says he's not a patriot. on the other hand he really did help move this debate forward. instead of having him come down hard on snowden, and what he did, which was so treacherous, which is what the republicans who have been supporting the president would like, he seemed to let him off gently. on the other hand, people like ezra klein from "the washington post" saying why do you say he's not a patriot when he helped move this debate along. i thought the president was sort of low key, and so lawyerly that i don't think he had the political impact you normally look for in a presidential news conference. >> u.s.-russia relations, jessica, did we see any movement as far as president obama and president putin is concerned? >> no. he described their relationship as candid and blunt, that's diplomacy speak for we don't get along. the president has already been clear from the white house here that when they called off the moscow meeting, there were a long list of disagreements. but he added a poke at putin, the presid

the history of american patriotism is figuring out ways we can work together to move forward and meet together, knit together the common government. they think a key to their survival is a gun in the closet, and that has never been true. you cannot show that in american history. that shows how atrophied in many respects this is. if we do not remember our history because we are running from it, we do ourselves a great disservice. tavis: part of misremembering, taylor, involves sanitizing and taming who martin king was. i have raised the subject before and will raise it again. you and i have discussed this before, certainly in our private conversations, about who martin king really was. you can do that with holidays, and i support all of them, but i have said before that i am fearful of what will happen this year and as we start the journey, over the next five minutes, commemorating selma, montgomery, the girls killed in the church, and the voting rights act, and the civil rights act -- i am concerned that we will get so caught up in the pomp and circumstance of celebration that we misr
