the patriot act in the end is not patriotic. the patriot act makes an unwholly and unconstitutional exchange of liberty for a false sense of security, and i for one will oppose its reauthorization. today we are also here, though, to discuss the fisa court that interacts and uses some of these extra powers, these extra constitutional powers. it has been revealed over the last few years that the fisa court was manipulated, lied to, and ultimately condoned the investigation of a political campaign. i believe that the authors of the fisa court who intended to restrain unconstitutional searches would be appalled at what the fisa court has become. they would be appalled that this secret court intended to be used to investigate foreign spies and terrorists was turned into a powerful and invasive force to infiltrate and disrupt the political process. it should not matter whether you were a democrat or a republican or a libertarian. we should all be appalled at this abuse of power. the question is how do we fix it? to my mind, there are

kinds of patriotism. our patriotism is that of the men who has open eyes. loves the woman with open eyes. he is enchanted by her beauty yet sees her faults. it was a good definition of patriotism then and still is today. thank you very much. i would be glad to hear any comments or questions that people may have. >> adam, we do have a number of questions coming in. please continue to type them there. we will be happy to take them. before i get to those, just because of what is happening today, i wondered if you could speak to the role of the flu pandemic in 1919 and its relationship to all these other events. is it something that was also happening then or was there interplay between some of the violence and unrest that is happening in 1919? >> the flu pandemic was closely tied to the war and spread by the war. the first case of that deadly influenza that actually drew notice from doctors was at an army base in kansas. it was one of the bases where u.s. soldiers were being trained to be sent and vast numbe

for far too long the patriot act and the foreign intelligence surveillance act, commonly referred to as fisa has been used to trample the civil liberties of american citizens. for montanans the right to privacy is so fundamental it is enshrined in our own constitution. in fact, very few states have such protections, but the drafters of the montana constitution recognized that privacy was essential to exercise all of the other freedoms that we hold so dear. the fill the u.s. house has sent us does have some good reforms. it has some good provisions in it, including a provision from my bipartisan bill with my colleague from oregon, senator wyden, called the safeguarding americans private records act which would revoke the now terminated call detail program which secretly collected data on our cell phones, our land lines as well as private conversations. but the house bill fails to enact real reforms to fisa that will actually protect the privacy of the american people. and we saw what a handful of scornful government bureaucrats did to president trump when they abused fisa to serve the

remember the patriot act of 2001?s passed after the 9/11 attacks with a focus on giving intelligence gathering agencies more tools to prevent terrorism. at the time, the debate focused on national security needs versus personal privacy rights. in the end, the patriot act allowed the secret collection of data from cell phones, laptops, and electronic devices, including collecting internet browsing histories, all without a warrant, from millions of unsuspecting americans, even if those not accused of a crime. the act has been renewed and amended over time. the newest version passed the house of representatives in march and went to the senate earlier this month. that's when democratic senator ron wyden and republican senator steve daines pushed for an amendment to forbid the collection of internet browsing histories without a warrant. the amendment needed 60 votes. it got 59. the senate passed the patriot act reauthorization, without the amendment. the vote was 80 to 16. >> still ahead on "matter of fact," toilet paper,

it started with the countries most ardent patriots. there is something else that a significant about the phenomenon in this country. although imagery of american indians is pervasive with american life, it does nothing to bring non-natives closer or to understand the nature of the history of they had shared with american indians. this actually masks who native americans really are. we open this curtain and he looks what stands behind this imagery. this imagery is the intersection between native and non-native. the american exhibit ends with a very clear presentation of the fact that non-native americans and native americans share a deeply entangled history. this is the unique history of the united states. it is a shaped natural consciousness -- national consciousness. when i would like to show you is one that really fascinated me as soon as i learned about it. this is a sketch for the great seal of the united states. congress employed a committee, or got together a committee of americans with impeccable american revolutionary war crede

in this place more than 200 ago, american patriots stood -- more than 200 years ago, american patriots their ground and repelled a british invasion in the battle of baltimore during the war of 1812. on a september morning in 1814 , the british fleet launched an assault on this peninsula. from the harbor, 30 british warships attacked this stronghold. rockets rained down and bombs burst in the air, and the deck of one ship, a gallant young american was held captive. his name was francis scott key. for 25 hours, he watched in dismay as fire crashed down around him. through rain and smoke, he could make out 15 broad stripes and 15 bright stars, battered but still there. american forces did not waver, they did not retreat, they stared down the invasion and the hell that they had to endure, they held like nobody could have held before. they held this fort. the british retreated and independence was saved. francis scott key was so inspired by the site of our flag in that battle, that the grounds he fought on became hallowed and he wrote a poem. his ageless words became the anthem of our natio

who fought many of whom died in the 2nd mold war the great patriotic war as it's known here in russia that ceremony will be broadcast on social media and also on television throughout the day that those stories those photos sweeping from eastern russia away from but of course that were far east all the way to kaliningrad the west the most point of russia and it's going to take hours i can tell you to do probably the best part of the day because there just have been so so many submissions this means so much to so many people there's not one family in russia and that was the fact that they didn't lose someone during the war and this tradition has become over the last 8 years really something to mark to honor to celebrate those. who sacrificed so much and at 7 pm today here in moscow russians are encouraged to open their windows go to the balconies hold up the portraits old their ancestors who gave their sacrifices and to sing to sing the victory day song which perhaps encompasses everything that they stay means the most important festival here in russia the suffering the sacrifice and a
