They havent been able to describe that they are taking a hit. google, notorious big data company critics for whether or not it can protect our information in using their search engine, et cetera now has a lot of egg on its face because of prism and they want to be able to explain what they have been doing. >> bill: a time line when a decision is made and who makes the decision anyway. >> the court makes the decision. >> federal judge. >> look at the motion, as of now, its a broad number that doe...

Attacks or not? just a small part and they could have stopped them anyway? >> well, i think what the general has said that of those 50 thwarted attacks 90% of them were stopped in the 702 program, the program called p.r.i.s.m. only 10% were stopped in the meta data program, and of the 10%, youre right, i think the agencies have been a little ambiguous about whether they were the definitive cause of stopping these plots. whether they had a contributing role. whether these plots might have been st...

Other day because they were too busy, not one that went into the briefing has come out, said holy cow, your fourth amendment rights have been totally -- thats not happened by the people that have been informed about it. i believe -- i have no reason to believe they would lie that there were 50 plots. you may say that was an easy one, why did you miss all the other ones. the terrorists, can you imagine theyre sitting back there watching us have this institution discussion, and in china, i bet you...

Different things to you privately than he is publicly today? and chancellor merkel, you mentioned that prism came up in your discussions with president obama. are you more reassured now about the scope of those programs following the discussions and did president obama give you any reassurances that the programs dont violate german privacy rights? thank you. there were going to be some areas of friction to put it mildly in getting this thing off

This morning, its the difference between campaigning and governing. when he went there in the summer of 2008, he wasnt responsible for many of the things the american government was carrying out. he had to be stunned when he saw that crowd. they had the victory column there that prompted the mccain campaign to compare him to a celebrity like paris hilton. now hes overseeing a war in afghanistan. hes overseeing the nsa program has been exposed and that germans appear to be very concerned about, a...

Women. it endangers a relationship between a physician and woman. >> congresswoman sheila jackson lee. thank you. joining me, michelle goldberg, for "newsweek" and "the daily beast." and terry oneill, president of the national association for women. michelle, youve covered the antiabortion movement in this country, grassroots level, done a lot of incredible reporting. explain to me through that prism why the republican party is doing this. i am genuinely confused. >> i think there are two diff...

Security. thats not how the online surveillance works. while the president is right about phone surveillance, in a single month, the p.r.i.s.m. program reviewed 3 billion pieces of intelligence from u.s. computers. think about that. potentially 35 billion pieces in a year. there arent 35 billion court offereds or that. so its technically true that the program doesnt target americans. the targets are foreign but thats pretty much beside the point. take a closer look at that secret court. this was...

Pretty good defense. here is the president, by the way. he called the nsa programs transparent and said i am not dick cheney. he pronounced it differently. lets take a listen. >> should this be transparent in some way? >> it is transparent. thats why we set up the fisa court. some people say, well, obama was this raving liberal before. now hes dick cheney. dick cheney sometimes says he took it all lock stock and barrel. my concern has always been not that we shouldnt do intelligence gathering to...

Wiretapping. they are getting warrants. secondly, hes also briefing members of congress. as i reported, there has been at least 35 briefings on the p.r.i.s.m. program and telephones. however, as you point out correctly, this isnt transparency. this is checks and balances, but this isnt transparency here. the fisa court is issuing rulings in secret and a bunch of senators on capitol hill have been asking them to publicize their opinions so we can get a scope of the surveillance state. probably be...

Synchronization and management. incidentally for revealing prism, snowden may soon be in prison or probably regretting identitying self on national tv. >> hes a good one. >> well done. >> its an interesting easterny. >> they said just yesterday they dont know where he is. >> always comforting. how about 30 minutes of commercial free news, well give you that right now some of the stories everyone will be talking about today. we begin with homes under a wildfire threat. already 150 homes have be...
