the nsa is not supposed to operate domestically. that used to be the law in nsa land and now it almost seems laughable given how much survey lens than they are conducting. north korea has been linked to last year's hack attack against sony which cost the entertainment giant an estimated $15 million. the agency has been seeking less restrictions in its surveillance efforts but opponents argue this could hurt ordinary americans. >> being a victim of a cyber attack having some sort of attachment in your email might now be enough just a decision for the nsa to grab your email without a warrant, without process. and that's pretty scary. >>> edward snowden writes quote: >>> the family of a man killed by boston police is calling for a transparent investigation into what happened. he was under surveillance by federal counter terrorism agents when he was killed. police say he threatened them with a knife. the suspect's brother says he is taking back his own comments that raheem was shot in the back for no reason. >> that was the initial comm

what the nsa is doing is not eavesdropping. they're doing data mining to see if the pattern is there. this is something wrong is happening. only and then when they see such a pattern, they have to go through various procedures warrants and the like before they can take further steps. in terms of defending ourselves, government does have the basic fundamental task of defending us. defending the realm. this is a good tool to do it. >> i think john made this in terms of erosion of freedom. is there no erosion of freedom going on, john? >> there's by definition erosion of freedom going on and we have to accept these counter factuals offered by politicians that if we hept been doing this we would have saved you from this. the reality of the world is a dangerous place, and despite all they're doing, bad things are going to continue to happen. i don't like the idea of empowering the state in a way that look more and more into our lives. that's the quickest way to ruin a country. particularly one like the united states. if we're allowin

the nsa was not just spying on the past three french presidents. it has been spying on french companies as well. and new republican presidential candidate donald trump gets dumped by u.s. network nbc after he makes derogatory comments about mexican migrants. that and more on the way. first, our top stories. genie: dj in greece has arrived. this time the d standing for default. they cannot pay back the 1.6 billion euros it owes to the national monetary fund. greece could get its nest -- next slice of bailout money but only if it agrees to an eu deal on the table. the greek government said it would give people the choice in a referendum to be held sunday. thousands turned out last night in athens to back their government, saying they would vote no. just in the last few minutes we have been hearing that contact is reportedly underway between athens and brussels to try to reach some sort of agreement. let's bring in natalie's every guess. what can you tell us about this 11th hour deal? natalie: the developments -- some reports suggest that the prime mi

while at the same time, keeping the nsa strong and vibrant. e big change in the usa freedom act that is being heralded is that it ends the domestic data metadata program. there will no longer collect the phone records showing all of the americans who are talking -- and who they're talking to. instead, those records will be cut by the private telephone company. if you make a call through spread, it will be sprint they keep a record. and if the government wants to access some of those records that of just being able to look on their own in their own private stash, they now have to go to the phone companies and ask the phone companies for these records. there's a slightly higher standard they have to meet in order to access it, so it does provide some additional safeguards. it also provides some added transparency in what the fisa court does. it will require there be someone present at the fisa corp. proceeding assigned the government -- court proceedings besides the government. the problem is, it leaves overwhelmingly undisturbed the vast bulk of

is the nsa a real threat? >> i would say the role threat is probably more the people who are looking to do malicious intent but the broader discussion around knowledge of who has access to my data is is someone is leaking it without me knowing or stealing it or unwarranted attempt of my government to have access because an important discussion -- sebastian: we see these massive discussions when sony gets hacked. to what extent does the nsa helps attacked us against these things? >> i don't think they are directly correlated because some of these examples are driven by malicious intent uncertain individuals part or organizations which are different and disconnected from the nsa. the issue at hand here is how pervasive and overreaching you want the nsa's reached to be and i think that it came to an extreme end in terms of the pendulum swing. the fact is expiration has happened will be forced to have a neck or mental improvement and by losing the amount of pervasiveness that had become too pervasive. emily: there

are people afraid of the nsa knowing this, or they are drug dealers? makes no sense for people to be afraid of the collection of data. host: all right, thank you for the call. andrew is next from north salem, new york. guest: let's just start with him because we want to talk about the senate, speaking and mentioning the reasons why we should continue with the patriot act, different provisions, and we mentioned how edward snowden is that the criminal, and that, mentioning this guy who actually exposed the truth is amazing that a politician would call this guy a criminal, because a lot of people in washington calling him a criminal is just mind-boggling to me. so you have rand paul who is now defending the truth that came out, and he is trying to say this should not be allowed. the fourth amendment protects our privacy so just saying that snowden is a criminal, i have an issue with it. i also want to talk about the nsa. we are trying to look at tapping into people's phones. and just, in general, talking about trying to protect us, this power that you can

the nsa's computers go directly into there. and this court oversight, this judge's order you mentioned and went back and said a court order, is from the fisa court, which has had 34,000 requests and denied 12 of them. 34,000 versus 12 which has no oversight, which has no adversary to the nsa, which is not required to keep records, and according to judge napolitano is unconstitutional and has never been challenged. so it's easy to say yes, we want to be safer. yes, we want to be safer, and of course we do but there are lines that people need to think about. and when you say that rand paul is just doing this for political reasons, if you're going to make that observation isn't it fair to make the observation that he's had this stance from the very beginning, that this isn't something new for that particular senator? >> well, shep, the thing about it is this that what senator paul has done is he's blocked a piece of legislation that actually advances some of the reforms he has previously said that he supports. so the fact is that t

by edward snowden, the former nsa contractor. is there anyone there particularly at the presidential palace to is really surprised that the nsa is spying on other countries' leaders? douglas: yeah, you know, it is a tactic question, like that famous line from the movie "casablanca" -- "i am shocked shocked that gatling is going on here." we have known since edward snowden first exposed the

by edward snowden, the former nsa contractor. ere anyone there particularly at the presidential palace to is really surprised that the nsa is spying on other countries' leaders? douglas: yeah, you know, it is a tactic question, like that famous line from the movie "casablanca" -- "i am shocked shocked that gatling is going on here." we have known since edward snowden first exposed the magnitude of the nsa surveillance drag net, if you will, both in the u.s. and internationally. we know this stuff is going on. i suppose we have the sense of what we were saying the ending dacian the indignation, the anger, this revelation brings it to a new level. if these documents are borne out, if they are genuine -- and there is no reason to believe they are not -- we are talking about phone tapping the phones of three french presidents. one the current french president. and a lot of their top advisers. listening in on their conversations, the content of that and that despite the time and again brock obama standing alongside -- barack obama stan

the whole system. then he's simply wrong. nsa doesn't do all that. >> they do it under a program called fairview and it's collecting right off the fiber lines inside the united states. they have about 80 taps on it. mark klein exposed one of them in san francisco at&t facility. about 80 to 100 other taps inside the united states collecting content as well as meta data. that's why they're planning on another 2.8 million square foot facility on fort meade. >> there are a couple of problems with mr. benny's argument. first of all, the development of a storage center has nothing to do with quantity. what it had to do with was following 9/11, what's called continuity of government. and the location for the new facility was in the western electric grid not on the east coast electric grid. the centers he was speaking about on the coast is picking up foreign communications and that's why they're at the lines that come into this country. >> i don't want to get into semantics of the tick here. let's look at the track record so far. bob dei

did you go to the nsa? did you go to members to go to the nsa?t the members to understand the problem? >> well, i was always at the nsa, i would say, at least once a week or often more or they were down -- these are briefings upon briefings upon briefings and they are very technical. i hadn't had the nsa account before, so there was a lot to learn. what i learned and i became very concerned i said within a few months, nothing was connected. everybody was off doing their own little tiny projects and so on, and and other staff became concerned also, so in this respect, at least, both the democrats and republican staff were on the same page, and we both began telling our members and especially our ranking members about this quickly. >> and how was it received? >> i think one of the issues is staff -- you have to look at -- staff can have an awful lot of power. they were willing to go along with me with some marks as long as they weren't too ambitious. as long as they didn't cut major programs, and they were willing to let me put in really tough lang

and so the nsa did a separate key word search for them. all these searches illegal, by the way. and i have it in writing, they told nsa they could keep all my agenda books and telephone logs. there is -- >> and there is a separation of powers issue right? >> absolutely, yes. >> that congress is allowing the executive branch to gather information about their oversight activities. >> not only allowing, but facilitating, in my view. and i think the big issue was at that time, before 9/11 all they cared about was stopping leaks. on their public agenda, at least, that was almost the only thing you read about. so when the fbi comes to them and says, we think she's the leaker of the "new york times," they dropped me like a rock and they dropped all their sources and all the committee privileges the legislative privilege, as well. >> and you know, again, we've seen this happen in a similar way with the senate intelligent report on the view, are there tools that congress has to better protect? in this case, at least to her credit senator dianne feinstein came out and made a very big deal

that is the problem we have going on with the nsa right now. difference with legal and illegal. the nsa program is directly because of this guy in john mccain and people like him who of been promising to those the border for 30 years, and instead holding it open and letting everybody in. this nsa program is because they let everybody who wanted to come here come here. host: steve from the for the line for independence and others. -- david. caller: i was at the president of armed services committee last february that dealt with guantanamo detainees discussing prisoners still in limbo on trial for 13 years. in spite of over 50 detainees cleared by united states court which has that happened because the senate refuses to give runs for them to go back to their families, senator graham said, chances are if you have been there for all of that time, then you are guilty. that is in spite of the united states court clearing over 50 people for release. this man is incredibly dishonest , as well as heartless, and height hope he has -- never has a real sho

rejecting those allegations they are responsible for the massive attack this as new information reveals the nsa has been hunting hackers by expanding spying on americans. we have both stories covered at every angle. let's begin with mrs. jones. >> even the irs, and now this. as the investigation continues, we know president obama has been briefed on what could be the biggest government breach in history. this morning the u.s. government is struggling to assess the damage. officials revealing the biggest cyber attack on the u.s. government ever reaching their networks. sophisticated and undetectable for months all the while stealing data information from the data bases of every government agency sensitive information for current and former employees, including the employees at the social security administration and even president obama. >> these networks are so vast and they very very difficult to be able to protect and the reality is you can't prevent these attacks. >> the suspect according to authorities, a super power, the peoples republic of china. according to officials evidence points to h

the nsa disclosed it. >> what haven't they disclosed? >> you can say that about every government agency in the country. >> some say it saves lives. and that it prevented a plot to bomb a new york city subway and prevented a so molly immigrant from sending money to trifts in somalia. >> they said these were trifts things we prevented. on cross xamgs before-exam nation on the committee they came down to one guy could have been caught through other means. >> does the nsa lie? >> does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of america? >> no sir. >> it does not? >> not wittingly. >> yet the nsa does and quite wittingly. >> he lied. >> no he didn't. this was a classified secret program we did not want the enemy to know about. >> if he had time to prepare, i'm sure he could have give an better answer. if you're confronted. >> what would have been a better answer. >> i don't know. you have to work on it. the fact is the nsa does not listen to the phone calls. they drill down on the numbers. >> to protect us. >

if i was the nsa and i had the mind-set of the nsa, i would take my brightest people and put this on o put the two years to two minutes . stuart: yeah, and you would put the jail in -- >> you were asking if i was the nsa. if i were the grand of everybody's rights, i think i would enforce the constitution. stuart: i think you're a little bit slippery. >> beating the day lights out of me. >> , no. stuart: how about this? the pentagon sent -- or an army lab sent 51 live samples to 51 countries. >> no. stuart: zero. >> yes. stuart: why. >> because the federal government has made it unlawful to be sued for that, but if visor had done it or jnj, they would be liable for all the reasonable -- even the type of fear that people have -- >> well, they use fedex to send them. >> yes. >> and could it be liable -- >> no, fedex is really not responsible for being the weird -- stuart: the contents. >> i mean there actually have been criminal cases where the government has attempted to prosecute fedex for transporting dangerous controlled substances. and the government said if you're going to impose o

the nsa programs will stop tonight. the senate began a vote moments ago and the bottom line is, even if they did manage to pass an extension, it's too late. the bulk data collection part of the patriot act will lapse, at least for a short time. it's often called the nsa snooping program. the part of the patriot act carried out by the national security agency to collect american phone records in mass. kentucky senator rand paul has called it the government's illegal spying on americans. in fact senator paul has been a driving force in the tough debate over parts of the law, specifically focusing on the nsa surveillance power. it's a bipartisan issue. democrats and some republicans pushing for an extension, saying that the patriot act tools are necessary to keep them away from terrorism. mike emanuel is live for us on capitol hill. mike what happens at midnight eastern? >> caller: well, at this moment they are finishing up a procedural vote on a bill that will fix these problems. the problem is it's oem a first in a series

those records would instead be held by telecon companies like verizon, though the nsa could still get court order to access them. mitch mcconnell didn't like that. he wanted to keep the patriot act pretty much unchanged. he hoped co-replace it with something he liked better. it was a gamble and it failed spectacularly. despite warnings from the white house mcconnell and many others have dire consequences, the provisions expired last night at midnight without congress passing anything this despite the fact mcconnell had finally relented and was willing to pass the house bill during a special session yesterday. why couldn't he get it done? rand paul, the man mcconnell endorsed for president, used the special session to lecture his colleagues about what he sees as their willingness to give away americans' freedoms. things got pretty nasty. >> people here in town think i'm making a huge mistake. some of them, i think, secretly want there to be an attack on the united states so they can blame it on me. >> paul admit that had might have been hyperbolic. he energized his supporters and infur

and so, the cia or the nsa, others want to spy on somebody on overseas intelligence possible threat, rs, have always been lower to do that than if you're going on a law enforcement thing that may end up with a criminal prosecution, particularly against an american. but in this instance, as charlie's story shows, congratulations to him and to my pals at propublica, it's very hard, at least in the beginning, if you see an intrusion coming from someplace overseas to know if it's coming from a government, chinese, or from a criminal gang, say russian mafia that wants to penetrate something for in order to profit from financially. and, it seems -- so, i don't think we have had a full public conversation about the changing world of cyber security, and what that means in terms of the laws and rules that we've had over the past couple decades an how to handle this stuff. and so what they're doing may be fine in a way, but it certainly was done secretly, and we've never had a debate in congress to know about it. and so a lot of the stuff has to be brought out more into the open so at least it'

senator the nsa shut down its bulk data collection program at 7:44 last night. the white house says this is an irresponsible lapse. should we be scared? >> well we certainly should not have allowed these patriot act provisions to expire. we have legislation that i've introduced in the senate along with my co-sponsor pat leahy from vermont. legislation that passed the house with a bipartisan super majority of 338 votes to 88 votes just a couple of weeks ago. i've tried to put that on the floor of the senate just a few days before we recessed. we still would have had time at that point to bring it up to get it passed and to get it signed into law before we took the memorial day recess. but that didn't work. enough of my colleagues disagreed that we weren't able to move in that direction. it's important now for us to get this legislation passed into law, and this legislation ends bulk data collection which is what so many americans are concerned about, with their privacy. but it allows these patriot act provisions to continue protecting the american people. >> but s

most people don't realize this, the nsa is in the military. the president is the commander in chief of the military. >> okay. >> so the president can say, issue an executive order to admiral rogers the head of the nsa and say keep it -- >> any idea? >> i think he'll probably keep it because the nsa will probably say to him, we went through the trouble to get it and it's a treasure-trove and we don't know what's there. when i say get, talking about the content of those conversations which the nsa has in computer aversions. >> interesting. i want to apply over a tapestry over in boston. i said the federal, local police wow, they potentially stopped a huge bomb shell from happening up there with the threat against police officers. >> if the allegations are true yes, they did stop it. >> all right. so they were able to get all of this information and to surveil them for 24 hours at the same time both digitally and obviously physically would they still now be able to do all of that? >> yes, yes. the property visions for lone wolf and the phrase is

my comment is about the nsa. isn't it picking up all the illegal activity done by congress, by the clintons, by pretty much most of the democrats? why are they not finding hillary's e-mails, her telephone calls, her text? she has basically sold off everything to the state department to the highest bidder. i'm not sure what the purpose of the nsa is if they cannot find the biggest crime that is being done right now under our noses. host: niels lesniewski, and brings up a question. our members of congress subject to -- are members of congress subject to these provisions under the patriot act? guest: in theory, yes. i don't remember the exact details, but your viewers can look on rollcall.com because i wrote a story last year when bernie sanders actually was trying to ask the intelligence community questions about whether or not he has been subject to surveillance. and the answer is that he got, i believe suffice to say, were not all that detailed. so in theory anyone who is having phone conversations that are involv

this is not sunset now until 2019, but there is more debate happening on the nsa and its surveillance programs. what is next? mike debonis: as the senator mentioned, you know, we have a number -- another sunset coming. it has to do with section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act. that deals with basically all internet traffic in a way that the things that we were dealing with now we are only dealing , with the phone metadata. this deals with all the sorts of different programs that edward snowden revealed about the nsa being able to cap into google and facebook and these cloud services and monitor information in those spheres. and i think that, to a lot of people, people have found that almost to be more invasive and more problematic than the collection of phone metadata which is records of calls that you have made and when you made them and how long those calls were. both problematic, but the 702 authority is just a whole different level. what senator leahy has said is that now we have this coalition that we have proven is concerned about these things and interested in

forcing the nsa to immediately stop collecting telephone megadata on millions of americans across the country. >> they want to take a little bit of your liberty but they get it by making you afraid. >> reporter: senator rand paul blasting the domestic surveillance program calling it an illegal spy program on americans as counterterrorism officials also lose the ability to obtain roving wiretaps allowing them to listen in on potential terror suspects as they change cell phones. with the advancement of isis across the middle east some senators say this program is needed now more than ever. >> isn't this program as critical as it has ever been since its inception given the fact that the middle east is literally on fire and we are losing everywhere. >> reporter: the nsa's authority could be restored as early as tuesday when republican leadership expects a final vote on the compromised mill the usa freedom act amending the patriot act requiring a specific targeted warrant for obtain any call records from telecommunications companies. >> we're in the mess we are today because of the majorit

the freedom act would be held by the telephone companies and the nsa and other intelligence agencies would have to go through a court procedure although a very secretive one to get a hold of that information. the question is, how much of a difference does that make? critics like rand paul saying, who holds the data does not do sincerely make such a huge difference and they are concerned intelligence agencies will soon be able to go after huge bundles of information while targeting particular terror suspects. peter: there is resistance to what the nsa has been doing. where is it coming from? is this grandstanding or is there more to it than that? guest: if you look at public opinion, it can seem quite contradictory. just over half of the people of object into this notion of bulk collection of telephone records whereas another poll suggested that many more people were more concerned that the u.s. is not doing enough to protect itself. rather it's not doing enough to protect civil liberties. this will be the key difference at the start of this year. there was an opinion poll showing that

we'll ask general michael hayden who used the post 9/11 tools when he led the nsa. >>> plus, the republican race turns to the battle over isis. >> we hear senator paul say that isis exists because of republican foreign policy hawks. that's ridiculous. i think the senator is unsuited to be our commander in chief. >> our sunday panel weighs in on the showdown heating up the republican field right now on "fox news sunday." >>> hello again from fox news in washington. we begin with breaking news. vice president's son has died of brain cancer at age 46. the vice president's office says he was first diagnosed in 2013. treated and given a clean bill of health before the cancer returned this spring. he was delaware's former attorney general but he announced last year he would run for governor in 2016. when he was just 3, he and his brother hunter were seriously injured in a car crash that killed his mother and infant sister. we'll have more on beau biden later with the panel. >>> to politics and a race for the white house that keeps getting more crowded. another four hopefuls announcing their candi

[dial tone] sorry about that. wrong line. are you there? caller: i am here. good morning. freedom can live

and those things have been really serious limits on the nsa. od to see the congress ending this program, at least as it existed, not so much because that's a really serious limit on what the nsa can do but because i think it's the first time since 9/11 that we've actually reversed course. and where the rhetorical tropes about fearing terrorism and all those things that worked so well actually failed for the first time and that's what's the great significance. >> what do you think snowden's future is? it's been such a bizarre trajectory. in many ways, he was not trying to go to russia. he was trying to find safe heart bar somewhere else. there were discussions of iceland or ecuador. he essentially got trapped in russia. he's now stayed there for two years. russia has been in the kind of crosshairs geopolitically for a whole bunch of reasons, having to do with the way putin has acted on the international stage and in ukraine and et cetera. and a lot of people wonder what this person's fate is whatever side of the stone debate is. can he just stay

it gives the nsa six months to ship the collection of bulk phone records to phone companies. if approved, the agency would need a court order to view records. but house leaders have already made it clear they do not support the senate's proposed changes which include more time for constructing and testing the new system. >> my advice is to take this bill and pass it and send it to the president to keep america safe. >> reporter: all of this became necessary when the senate allowed key provisions of the patriot act to expire sunday night which put a temporary stop to the nsa program and other less controversial surveillance operations. that law was passed after 9/11 to help track down terrorists in the u.s. but privacy advocates like kentucky senator rand paul say it violates the rights of law-abiding citizens. >> this is a debate over your right to be left alone. >> reporter: if the senate passes an amended bill, the house would have to vote again on the new version or come up with some kind of compromise. craig boswell, cbs news, capitol hill. >>> when we come back, the pain

i am some part of the government, the nsa, and i want those records now. the whole group of them from verizon which is storing them or do i have to say i want the phone records for this individual person? >> you would have to have a select search query to these phone companies. >> i see. >> i think it's still a little too broad the way it's written. the usa freedom act clearly is better than the existing patriot act. i voted no because i thought the limits don't go far enough. it really comes down to the fourth amendment, which is really clear. the right of people to be free of unwanted search and seizures unless the government gets a warrant. and for years the government has not been doing that. >> the history here is in the 18th century, the colonists hated king george ii had suspended the necessity of getting specific warrants. there were general warrants in the colonies that allowed the british to just take everything in a house and it specifically general warrants, that was one of the arguments the colonists made for the tyranny of king george. >> tha
