but the n.s.a. was also breaking the law a million times every day and lying to t know anything about that, until edward snowden provided the evidence. >> stephen: two wrongs don't make a right. two wrongs don't make a right. ( applause ) just being the devil's advocate, being the devil's advocate. >> here's the thing, i law they were breaking is in our bill of rights. that's in our constitution that makes america so great. if you want to talk. being an american, what makes this country so great is we have these rights. that's a privilege. a lot of people live in places have those rights, and when a government agency like the n.s.a. is breaking that law and lying about it. to me, that's scary. that's our democracy slipping away, and i'm happy to stand up and say i'm not cool with this. it's not okay.

the n.s.a. contractor has been called a hero and traitor and been one of the most polarizing figures in the 21st century. in the film out friday, the audience will get a look at the man in the headlines and what he rid binged by the decision to leak top secret information. edward calls it as close to real as you can get. here's a trailer for "snowden." (knocking) >> cell phone in the microwave. did i ask why? it blocks frequencies. before i get to the story, i need to know more about you. >> i'm 29 years old. i work as a private contractor for the n.s.a., c.i.a., i work in various jobs in the intelligence industry in the last nine years. they're going to come for me now that we've made contact, they're going to come for all of you, too. >> how about we just start with your name, okay? >> my name is edward joseph snowden. ♪ the saints go marching in >> what was it you were doing again. >> jury analysis for the state department. >> don't be shy! i don't want anyone else. >> the modern battlefields

in the snowden case there are about 120, 130 programs the n.s.a. has. we only show you two or three in the the story. what is verifiable, you're correct, is our government has developed and deployed the most massive global surveillance system ever seen in the history of mankind, and did so without democratic consent. and it's one person, one person, mr. snowden, has had the courage to reveal it out of out of loyalty it to government, and certainly his strong conviction that it was illegal and unconstitutional. >> stephen: what he did was illegal to tell us about it. >> yes, it was. >> stephen: a lot of people say he-- excuse me, a what? >> there's a higher law here. a higher law of conscience -- >> but if everybody just follows their conscience, we have perhaps good, ethical people, but then you end up having an and at least stand trial for his crimes? >> i think he would, and-- i know he would. i wish he could, because they've charged him with the espionage act. with the espionage act you cannot present a public interest defense. you cannot raise what h

the fear. truman brought this in, n.s.a., in 1947, the national security act. but it's grown. the acceleration of the national security state today is enormous. 2001 was another acceleration ethics of what america used to be when i grew up. i thought it was. but we changed after world war ii. but after bush, it got out of hand and when obama came in, in 2008, we thought there would be reform-- many of us did. and i think edward snowden, one of his motivations was he was hopeful and he waited for five years-- he was working that whole time in intelligence roundtable community-- and he saw by 2013 that there was no reform. on the contrary, obama was doubling down on the bush administration. >> stephen: do you spend any time with snowden for this? >> i did. i went nine times to moscow. and he helped us. he cooperated with us. he gave us a lot of detail -- >> has he seen final product? >> yes, he has. he is very pleased with it and said it was as realistic on policy as it could be given that it's a movie. he understands the nature of a two-hour movie versus a we haven't made up an

that's why the n.s.a. is important. that's why surveillance of communities where these threats are coming from is important. why we can't allow overconcern about civil liberties to get in the way of law enforcement. let's not let political correctness stop the police and the f.b.i. from doing the investigat do. i used the example many time, if you're going after the mafia, you go to the italian community, irish communities, right now islamic terrorism, go to the muslim communities. you don't look for the ku klux klan in harlem. >> dickerson: congressman pete king, thanks so much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> dickerson: turning now to campaign 2016, our cbs news battleground tracker shows this morning that in the 13 states we 42%, which is consistent with the latest national survey. so what can hillary clinton do to regain her lost momentum? we now go to richmond and to her running mate, senator tim kaine. senator, i want the start with the explosion in new york overnight. in moments like this we l

>>i think that is-- >> stephen: the man does not need the n.s.a. he can hear what everybody is saying all the the time. ( laughter ) after eight years of the barack obama presidency, there was all this sort of hope that we were in a sort of a-- or talk at least about, that we were moving into a post-raci what do you think of race relations, given the tension now in the united states after eight years of the obama presidency? >> you know, it's interesting. i always look at these things in terms of a marriage, you know. so i-- i've done my 10,000 hours of marriage counseling, right. so, you know, so jada and i have worked really hard to develop a successful relationship. so i always look at things in relations in this country now, there's a thing that happens before things are cleaned up. there's a darkness before the dawn that is always difficult, you know... ( applause ) thank you, thank you. >> stephen: so now-- >> so, you know, when i hear people-- when i hear people say, "it's worse than it's ever been," i really disagree completely. it's clearly

. >> i sent you some revisions on the letter to the n.s.a., regarding the-- the data collection. >> representative lieu: wow. >> alfonsi: what is your reaction to knowing that they were listening to all of your calls? >> representative lieu: i have two. first, it's really creepy. and se, >> alfonsi: makes you angry, why? >> representative lieu: they could hear any call of pretty much anyone who has a smartphone. it could be stock trades you want someone to execute. it could be calls with a bank. >> alfonsi: karsten nohl's team automatically logged the numbers of every phone that called congressman lieu. which means, there's a lot more damage that could be done than just intercepting that one phone call. a malicous hacker would be able to target and attack every one so give us an idea, without being too specific, of the types of people that would be in a congressman's phone. >> representative lieu: there are other members of congress, other elected officials. last year, the president of the united states called me on my cell phone. and we discussed some issues. so if the hackers were listening in,

, so you can get him-- because he doesn't have a life. ( laughter ) >> stephen: no, but he's got the n.s.a., and he can find out what any of us are thinking. ( laughter ) ( applause ) so being the first lady, being the first lady, obviously, is a lot of responsibility. it's a great honor at the same time. do you have any first lady-- when you look back on the last eight years-- do you have any first lady faux pass, like "i can't believe that moment?" >> so many of them. they usually involve pronouncing somebody's name wrong. i'm so horrible. >> stephen: because you go all around the world. >> oh, god, names are so hard. and i practice and i try to get-- and then i get up there and i mess it up. even names here in the united states. i mean, kids these days, their names. i mean-- i can tell you, i think i've got it right. and it's like, no, it's not terry, it's ter-ree. i'm usually just like, "hey, sweetie, how are you doing?" i have given up on that. >> stephen: it's colbert, you don't pronounce the "t." >> and it's not steve. it's stephen. >> stephen: that's exactly right. thank you for re

the former n.s.a. contractor has been in russia since he leaked classified information about the government. return to the states. a public service president obama doesn't seem to be softening his stance on snowden. his leaks damaged the u.s. and national security. some say that means president obama isn't likely to oblige. all this is happening at oliver stone's movie to hit theaters this weekend. >> michelle: a man in arizona is facing three counts of attempted murder. he hit three officer in a parking lot. we have to warn you, this is graphic and you may find it dubbing. want to let you know that. the video shows the car plowing into those three officers. look at one of them fly up into the air. suffered a head injury. two of them were critically injured. one of them was still running around, he's ok. another officer has a broken leg and third officer received minor injuries during a struggle with that driver. he was able to arrest that man. police believe he targeted the officers and may have been i
