Critical as its ever been since its inception, given the fact that the middle east is literally on fire and we are losing everywhere. The nsas authority will be likely restored when leadership aides accept a final act. The usa freedom act, targets a twoornt obtain call records from telecommunications companies. We are in the mix today because of the majority leader. The majority leader should have seen this coming. Reporter harry reid blaming his counterpart Mitch Mcconnell for not having a plan. After the aboutface mcconnell who wanted to renew it as is now says passing the compromised bill is the only legalistic way forward. I believe this is a program that strikes privacy on the one hand and National Security on the other. Reporter so whats next . We expect a final vote by around midweek. Thats because of Senate Procedures and several likely votes on amendments being offered. Of course, if they make any changes to the law, it will have to go back to the house of representatives for consideration. Its not over yet. We are looking at the congress. But the white house is not happy either. They say the nation is vulnerable opponents say it went too far compromising your privacy. Now what . Jim acosta has that part of the story. Reporter good morning, jim. The white house is blasting this nsa programs warning this temporary lapse could impact terrorist investigations. It is clear who the white house is annoyed with this morning and that is senator rand paul. The White House Press secretary praised them for Going Forward with the patrioting a the freedoming a, but there is also a thinly veiled dig at senator paul. Well put this up on screen from josh ernest. We call on the senate to ensure this irresponsible lapse in authorities is as shortlived as possible on a matter as critical as our National Security individual senators must put aside their partisan motivations and act krift swiftly. That is the bulk phone Data Collection roving taps for terrorism suspects who may change cell phones a lot and lone wolf provision, that is basically about these lone wolves that may be out there that are not connected to terrorism investigation, but they want to keep track of them anyway t. White house warned all last week there was no plan b if fleems were to expire the counterterrorism officials explain investigators may have workarounds to continue pursuing these suspects an investigation that had begun before a lapse on these programs. Cases that are potentially opened today could be affected guys. Thats the danger. Jim, thanks so much for all that background. We want to talk both the political and the National Security aspect of this move on camille, so lets bring in our cnn counterterrorism analyst and a counterterrorism official and sarah murray a c in n political correspondent. Good morning to both of you. Sar remarks i want to start with you with the political implications. Does rand paul deserve the credit for basically single handled scudttleing this program . Reporter it appears he may have scuttled it its only for a couple of days. I think the question whether this becomes a winner for him is Going Forward. Yes, we know rand protested this and delay this and maybe get rid of some of these proirks but you risk looking like an obstructionist at a certain point. They think thats the risk that he is running right now. If he stands there sunday a not a part of what is moving forward, i think thats a political downside for him. You are right. It is hard to tell even his fellow republicans are having lots of issues with this. Let me read to you what the Intelligence Committee said to him. He says the time to negotiate was a week ago last thursday when he turned down every rational offer that was made to him. I can tell you this there wont be any negotiations with rand paul from this point forward. Reporter yeah it is clear he set on fire any establishment support that rand paul has been looking to build in these last couple months. Thats really what he has been doing as he has been working on this president ial bid. He is trying to keep the wing of the party that has gotten excited about ending these nsa provisions these are a lot of his dads former supporters while trying to build establishment spoemplt its clear that establishment support is is waning very quickly. Does the bulk data truly clang between the cia, fun fib fbi do business . If it were to end, i think thats highly unlikely the business i was involved in at the cia and fbi would clang for a simple reason. When somebody walks into a room an analyst, investigator that says we have a new subject in an american city, a subject that is an individual in a city like new york or washington the first question someone like me has who is managing those investigations is who is this person and what is the web of activity around them . What this data allows you to do is quickly go into databases and say this is activity phone email for example, without going on the street and conducting an investigation wearing a pair of shoe you can collect that digital stuff and draw a picture of somebodys life. Cant you still do that without collecting my data the bad guys or go back and retrace the steps of the bad guys and see who called me . Because if you open a new investigation today, and i dont know who that person was yesterday, i dont know who their friends and family are, i dont know who their coconpier is conspirators are, i need the da to to create their life as soon as the investigation opens. I know you are struck by how far the country has come. In 2002 and 2003 you testified to congress about the methods you were using thenl then and those conversations were about torture methods, frankly. Now, 12 years later. Excuse me. You can call it what youd like. 12 years later the fact that were having this conversation about something so seemingly more innocuous is interesting, but how do you see it . Boy people talk about the threat from isis today fundamentally different from the threat we faced from al qaeda in 2002 2003. I thought back then there were a lot more unknowns than we faced today. I didnt think we had a great understanding of the al qaeda organization. I thought we had a congress and American People that said do wear whatever you need to do to deny the 911 attacks. If you look at the threat from postisis today and balance that against the conversations were having about National Security measure, whether its the cia detaining prisoners years ago or in this case the collection of data you get a sense that despite the conversations about threat from isis. Weve gobble just so far from when i was testifying and senators and congressmen, Congress Women told me whatever you need to, do do it. In some ways my friends will late me for saying this. In some way in is a success of the National Security agency the cia and fbi, if we had a series of major attacks, these debates would not ever happen t. Democracy is at a chance to talk about it because we are safer than a deck killed a ago. We love you for your candor. If they are going to vote on the freedom act the house version of the modification why are they going through all of this drama, why didnt they do it in the senate . Can you thank rand paul and Mitch Mcconnell for this. Mitch mcconnell blocked any move to bring the house bill into the senate. I dont think he thought rand paul would single handlely set aside the patriot act. Thats what rand palm was able to do. We are seeing republicans regroup, do what they need to do next bring this house bill over into the senate t. Interesting thing is mitch mcconal and rand paul have had a pretty close relationship. Recently rand palm was helpful and Mitch Mcconnell endorsd rand paul for president. To see this relationship preying now is one of the underlying dramas on the senate floor. It will be interesting to see the shift and what happens with the freedom act. Thank you so much for all the information. Lets get over to chris. All right. Alisyn secretary of state john kerry broke his leg during a bike ride in france. Now, secretary kerry will return to boston for surgery soon. That means he will miss Critical Nuclear negotiations with iran. Lets bring in cnn National Correspondent nick robertson. What do we know about the timing of the case . R. We know secretary kerry has been in the hospital nearly 24 hours how. He had the talks on saturday. He went for the bike ride. But he was due to be in spain yesterday and meeting with the Prime Minister there he was supposed to go on from there. To paris to the important meetings about building a coalition against isis. We understand his deputy will be attending. That initially, secretary kerry said he wanted to attend that remote but it seems his doctors have taken ahold of his situation here. His position from boston dr. Dennis burke is on the way here at the moment to make his assessment. He treated secretary kerrys thigh before which is what has been injured on this occasion this accident. He is on his way here to make his assessment. Its not uncommon here. I was hearing much to see secretary kerry going out for his bike during the negotiations with the iranian, of course secretary kerry is a very important part of the negotiations yes, he has a team of experts, but his relationship with the Iranian Foreign so critical to push these talks forward. It is 30 days now to get an agreement on those negotiation, important issues outstanding, access to sites in iran many many issues outstanding at the moment with this type of injury secretary kerry could very well be a missing link in these very important talks and a very critical stage, alisyn. Gosh. Things just change in an instant like that. In ic thanks, so much. Now to the outpouring of sympathy after the death of Vice President joe bidens son beau. Good morning joe. Reporter good morning, am sin. The obamas paid a visit to the Vice President and their wife. A reception at the white house on sunday was cancelled out of respect for the biden family. Beau biden has been in Failing Health for a long time due to brain cancer. After the tragic news of beau bidens death, tributes and condolences are pouring in. At this time id like to express my sincere condolences to the entire biden family in their moment of such deep and profound loss. Beau left us far too soon 46yearsold. I am certainly his family will take solace knowing he lady selfless foebl life. Reporter joe bidens son died saturday evening surrounded by his entire family after battling brain cancer. In a statement, his father wrote beau biden was simply the finest man any of us have ever known. President obama recalled how much the younger biden followed in his footsteps, like his dad, beau was a good devoutly catholic and deeply faithful man who made a difference in the lives of all he touched and he lives on in their hearts. This is not the first time tragedy has struck. As a child, beau was involved in a car accident where his mother and 1yearold sister were killed. He recalled the incident if 2008 while introducing his father at the Democratic National convention. My brother hunter and i were seriously injured and hospitalized for weeks. I was short of 4yearsold. One of my earliest memories was in that hospital. My dad at my side. Reporter weeks later his father was sworn in are from his sons bedside. The father and son shared a close bond. Both ent to law school and pour sudafed life if public service. My dad used to have an expression. Hed say, a father knows hes a success when he turns and looks at his son or daughter and know that they turned out better than he did. I am a success. I am a hell of a success. Beau i love you. Im so proud of you. Im so proud of the son youve become im so proud of the father you are. Beau biden was delawares attorney general until earlier this year. He also served as a major in delawares National Guard and he had planned on running for governor of delaware in 2016. Chris. He had quite a future in front of him, joe, tough news to be sure. So now we want to take you to iraq. Forces are pounding fallujah and surrounding villages in the heaviest of three days of bombing. At least 31 people have been killed. Many more jumped. At least 100,000 civilians are trapped inside fallujah, caught between the bombs and isis. Well its a wet and chilly start to june in the northeast. Parts of the northeast are under a flash flood threat this morning. We want to get right to cnn meteorologist chad meyers. He is tracking the latest on the storms. How is it looking, chad . Alisyn. It seems we go from a draught to a flood. We cant get anything in between a. Multiyear drought. Its raining in new york. Its raining on long island up into massachusetts mormon trial into upstate. That may slow down your commute. We had heavier rain showers, some of that could cause street flooding this morocco. We are worried about the train continuing today. It gets much colder yesterday it was a Beautiful Day in new york. Almost too hot, 88 in some spots. The rain showers move in and heavy, heavy rainfall all the way from about d. C. Right up through vermont and also even into parts of southern new jersey with the heaviest Drought Conditions still exist here across the northeast. We will get rid of though, this round of showers could see two to threeinch rainfalls across a lot of the region. We will take it. That will make the gardens grow very well. You ned to be careful on the commute in. Well take it. Were not getting it the way we want it. Spread out. A little balance will be nice. Speaking of lack of balance, check out this video from canada this car goes airborne slams into an out body repair shop. The driver is in serious condition, no real word on what caused this. The Police Believe he may have lit the gas instead of the brake. Former governor Martin Omalley coming out swinging as he enters the 2016 race. He is already taking shots at Hillary Clinton. They are not subtle shots. The democratic contender posed a serious threat. Well debate it. Th high hopes, but hope. Doesnt work on wrinkles. Clinically proven. Not a crown to be passed back and forth by you, between two royal families. It is a sacred trust to be earned from the American People an exercise on behalf of the people of these united nations. Thats former Maryland Governor democrat martin amale. He is coming out after Hillary Clinton. Even though he used to say hed be a good president. These insults are the easy attacks. Can he do what it takes to win . Cnn editor john avalon and kevin maddon great to see you. Martin omalleys message is Hillary Clinton should not be the heir apparent. Do you think that will resonate with people . Look, it certainly provides an opening for someone like Martin Omalley. 2016 is shaping up to be a lot like the 28 election where people were hungry for change hungry for something new. I think Martin Omalleys appeal is he is not of some walk establishment or not of the political establishment. Instead, he is somebody who is more in touch with voters than Hillary Clinton, who has more of a middle class appeal with voters and i think thats where he sees his opening, which is going after this bit of generational clang he may have with voters. I love there point of the cycle people are generous to Hillary Clintons challengers. I mean look kevin makes a lot of important points. The argument he is making is akin to marco rubio. He will be a candidate of change. He was elected governor in his 30s. He is a little younger than barak obama. He is trying to make a point about income equality which resonates with not only the base of the democratic party, also millenials in particular. That said, its a tough sale for a guy who was a centrist democrat. He is someone when people look for someone who is credibly named president not Hillary Clinton. Bernie sanders will be very popular with the base. He is probably a protest candidate. Do you think hes popping in here because he believes he can win in some other way in this Cottage Industry of future by laws . I dont think its if i lose ill win because i get book deals and speaking fees. I think utsz one of these maybe ill you get unlucky and ill be the last man standing or your youre set for the party Going Forward. He had a good run for mayor despite the baltimore controversies. So i think it makes sen for him to take this next step. Hes having a hard time getting traction. On that pointed too, john. Heels at 1 right now. Yeah. Nothing is going to get him to 25 like running for president now whereas it may set him up for a future run somewhere down the line. You are a contender on the republican side if you are at 1 . Lindsey graham becomes the 9th gop contender. Kevin, how much oxygen does he get in the room . Look i think one of the big reasons Lindsey Graham is running, he has Foreign Policy in a field very light on that right now. I think he believes its important for someone to get in there and force a debate on some of those issues and candidates come up with a much stronger platform. He is also from South Carolina which is an early primary state. While he may not be able to win the nomination. He could figure very prominently in some of the math needed for whoever ultimately begins to win some of these early state contests. Look Lindsey Graham has been a great se
