are where God knows where this it is rare
when we're good whose to report to you and especially about the Obama
administration
and the NSA program warm group
this how can this be happening but it's true and I'll tell you how it's
happening at the end to the story
it turns out president Obama has a new proposal now he needed one by March 28
that's what he promised in January
and now that's when they had to finish your views and it turns out his new
proposal
is actually very good let me quote the new york times here a look pose all data
a about americans calling habits would stay in the hands of phone companies
which would not be required to retain the data for any longer
than they normally would so than this these all this I bring to understand
normally bigger hole data for 18 months that was federal law
now george bush initially when he had told the phone companies
that as he was gon take their phone records
said that they would take them for five years now went for george bush first it
it had no legality what's or so wildly illegal and unconstitutional is no
question about that in retrospect in 2006 when Bush was still in charge but a
lot of democrats went along
they said I will make it legal in retrospect and then you thought that
Obama would get real the program because he had all those placards about change
when he first came in but he didn't he kept the program
and they would collect all the phone records from all the companies in
keeping for five years
now we found out is a bad word son that was the case in that they were
collecting records
on all OVR phone conversations all three hundred million Americans
and then says he got in trouble for that he said he would perform it so the
reform has begun
so good it's no longer five years we're back to 18
months as it used to be and NSA doesn't get to keep it let me explain further
the government will no longer systematically collect and store records
calling that now this is also important for another reason
since now could access it from AT&T rise in a set of Corsica
right but that's okay cuz if you think you got a bad guy you do want to be able
to access the records from AT&T Verizon
as long as you actually have information and evidence against the bad guy
right now if the government
ugg collected from all the different phone companies well they have this one
big database on all of us
but if the phone companies keep 'em well then it's dispersed is no central
database
AT&T as those records Sprint has those records and it's hard for one person
to pinpoint political enemy for example
and try to track him down now again if you have ever is a bad guy I know
probably going to get a warrant
and even be able to track him down or you like in fact your time says it would
obtain individual orders
meaning referring to the NSA from the Ford Intelligence Surveillance Court
to obtain only records like the phone numbers a judge
degrees are likely tied to terrorism that's the most important part here
it's no longer the executive branch saying outside like this bye and that
guy
and my check is the executive branch that's not a check
that's not how our government esposa operate were supposed to have
checks and balances with repair parts a government
check one another so in this case Europe have to gonna
get basically a warrant like the Fourth Amendment says you have to get a warrant
right to go back to constitutional system at least in this regard
and a us and go to court records as hey I think we are about to go get there
been some
great I want to get evidence on that guy I want to keep us safe
when I don't want you to do Aspire on $300 million
innocent Americans and do than on constitutional way
you to bring back inside the Constitution I couldn't be happier hello
there so all the parts the program the problematic the Duke like both got
another ways and by the way yes
this is not address any the things they are doing online which is
perhaps even more egregious but at least the phone program the getting back
within the constitution great news near times as well as further
they would also allow the government to swiftly seek related records for callers
up to two point calls
or harms removed from a number that has come under suspicion
even if those callers our customers over other companies
now in the past sp3 hop so they say look I got a bad guy over here
no bob smith rape I wanna see everybody talk to
and everybody that that they talk to
and everybody they talk to you well when you go three hops that's almost all the
country
and me that's a slight exaggeration but not by much
we limited to two hops well then you got a much simpler
narrower field and by the way I grew at two hops I think that if you got a bad
guy and got evidence I'm a beast
plotting something should you be able to talk to see the records the people he
talked to
the people they talk to you I think that might be reasonable as long as you got a
good evidence
to support so I'm happy with their proposals well
finally the government has been unable to point to a
hey I love this bar to article well because it explains
why they had to change the government has been unable to pointed
any for terrorist attacks that would've been carried out
the program had not existed so this
incredibly important program both the bush administration Obama administration
told us for all this time I remember Obama said this program
for five years now is so important so important
well could you point to a single case where it helped you sutter's
no not a single case
but maybe some poor brother reasons for you to track your political opponents or
whatever it might be
so now finally says they can point to any evidence
and snow now to them and they were embarrassed well
NDP some political opposition by the way
both from the left and from the right both libertarians
and progressives not establishment Democrats not establishment Republicans
to this day
Diane by Sen who so outrage that the CIA spy tin on her
is still perfectly happy with the old program
that Obama had she's not sure she's gonna agree
this new program this constitutional protections for actual citizens
okay so stab lisman schoolers left turn right on this
can now Obama's bring it back in because the whistleblowers likes known
the reaction that I got from actual libertarians are progressives
now Glenn Greenwald of course who broke the story is gonna jump in to make some
good points he says
the fact that the president is now compelled to pose as an advocate for
abolishing this program
the one he and his supporters have spent 10 months hailing is a potent
vindication a Bedouin stones
axe and the reporting that he enabled well I would seem to be hard are you yes
that's right
and which song let us know about this and that's why we change the whole point
to present apologies all program
maybe makes us look back in the country he was obviously a whistleblower and he
did nothing wrong
Glen then goes on to say first the federal court found the program
unconstitutional
then one other presidents own panels rejected then it is claim
that it was necessary in stopping terrorism while another explicitly found
the program
illegal now the president himself to pick some self is trying to ended
whatever testing system determine whether unauthorized disclosures
a classified information are justified sloan's revelations
pass the test with these I just don't see how you can argue yes
how can you say that this was a blow or who led to
the president himself changing the laws to get it back within the constitution
is someone who's a wanted criminal and a fugitive
should not be allowed back in this country and he comes back should be
arrested
how could you possibly make that are you
I don't know about how the establishment feels wellstone
my guess is not very good I know how I feel about him
if you aren't already convinced this is obvious proof
that he was in fact and continues to be today
an American hero anyone who can get
any of our presence that actually follow the Constitution
has her something incredibly here ok
