first it was the patriots in that it was the british and then the patriots. the city was in turmoil and there were many cities that were ruined. food was not in good supply. some of the roads rows were being destroyed and things were pretty chaotic. they needed a strong peacekeeper and arnold thought this was just great for him. he couldn't be in the field. he would collect his small salary and the army and retain his position and get itself back and by the way, skim off a little bit of the english goods and use some of the federal profiting and reclaim some of the money that arnold has never quite paid them back for. he loves to live high. he lives lives in the master pen mansion. he writes wren in a stagecoach. he is hobbling around on actual flight came. he is dressed in full regalia and he entertains the young lady at the in the galas with tales of his military exploits in laos one over him. he is a brave military hero however, however there are rumblings that perhaps everything he is doing is not exactly honest. nevertheless, peggy wants to marry him. he

that led to the patriot act. a brief background of what is in the act courtesy of the justice department -- it increases surveillance of terrorist-related crimes. it allows for roving wiretaps. guest: this gets back to the connection between the fbi and other intelligence agencies, the 2001 bombers the that we failed to connect the dots. that was the lego. --lingo. the sharing among the intelligence agencies was designed to connect the dots. when you allow the connecting of dots, you basically allow for a broader swath of information to be gathered and shared and that's where you get the concerns that you are a police state where everything i do online or on the fund becomes part of some grand criminal database. the phone fromon baltimore, democrats line. caller: good morning. i want to say to your desk that you sound like you're on the fence whether you are for or .gainst the patriot act o taking both sides. guest: that's right. caller: was no debate about the picture? . they put it in in the middle of the night

the patriot act, the left pointed the finger at george bush when the patriot act was passed and said look at the overreach, but the patriot act is different. they pinpoint what they're going tooted. what's going on right now is the patriot act on steroids. they're taking complete, broad swaths of groups of people, if not the whole country, and saying we're just going to go ahead and data mine and see if we find something. i'm more concerned about what they do with the data when they don't find something than what they're actually trying to accomplish. i'm not sure with that much data what neal find. >> you don't have a problem with them going after the material bauers of your approach on terror. >> the way they're doing it. >> master delete buttons. >> too much. i mean, it's not pinpoint. they don't have -- they didn't get like intel on something, let's go after it, let's find out who kimberly guilfoyle's phoned. we have reason to suspect kimberly's terrorist. they're saying let's take the whole west side of manhattan and see if we can find something and maybe kimberly is in that sph

the patriot movement was losing steam. and it was in that fall that he instituted the boston committee of correspondence. and it was a brilliant move, because what he did was create a network of communication that had never existed before in which a 21-member committee in boston would write up tracks that were then distributed to the 250 towns throughout massachusetts. and remember, this was a time when massachusetts included what is now modern maine. and this set up, and what it did was transform town meetings that usually were devoted towards discussing things like repairing roads and bridges, turned them into forums on the issues of the day. one of the first tracks that was distributed was an argument how the natural rights of man superseded anything parliament could determine. and they soon got a bunch of responses from towns throughout massachusetts about, you know, why we feel this is important. and suddenly, adams had found a network of communication that was independent of the royal government, that allowed people

act because we've had the patriot act before. what the guardian newspaper reported on is we've had an extension of an ongoing program under the obama administration real pointntis a here, it's the hypocrisy of president obama, the guy who said they shouldn't be doing this kind of thing, now having to, as president obama, not just a critic and senator, say yes, well, to keep us safe, that's my first obligation. here is what i would say. the problem from the left withrm what the president is doing istt that the president, the president is being president -- needs to have an honestscus discussion with the american people as he started today by saying it's a balance betweene civil liberties and the war on>> terror. >> the president had a problem with the gitmo. he had a problemwi with water boarding, president obama, andhe the patriot act. he had a problem withpa them. now he gets into office, realizes how dangerous the world is and he goes from gitmo andhow water boarding to kill list and drones and from the patriot act to data mini

patriot act author is troubled by this? jim sensenbrenner original author of the patriot act in 2001 which cleared the way for all this to happen he says i had no idea this would happen. first reaction is big whoop we all knew this was happen. the second reaction was who me caucus? i had no idea this was going on. senator isaacson who voted for the patriot act and fisa reauthorizing last year in the who me category along with jim sensenbrenner. he said i never voted intentionally for any bill that would grant blanket authority to monitor every phone call. senator, apparently yes, you did. the third reaction is from members of congress who do think this is a big deal and who did know this was happening and trying to get others concerned about it. mark udall writing to the attorney general last year warning if the secret court rulings were ever made public they would stun americans saying there is now a quote significant gap between what most americans think the law allows and what the government secretly claims the law allow

it is permitted under the patriot act. i opposed the patriot act in part because i knew this sort of violation of privacy was allowed. i do support either propelling the patriot act or if we want to find a better balance between privacy and protecting our country. i know that we can do it. look, there is no doubt of the intelligence side of things they would rather have access to everything. if you were a totalitarian state, we would be safer from terrorist attacks area you do not want to give out what makes your country special home a your freedom. that's how the terrorists truly when terry if we give up -- truly win. if we give up our freedoms. i would like to talk about going in a different direction. fix corrupted the specific revelations of snowden. ,> to go to the e-mail question are our e-mails private at this point? do they need to be subpoenaed? biggest concern we are addressing around e-mail has to do with the irs ability to look at old e-mails. again, that is without a warrant. they are able to do that where get

all right, so, he is going to be a part of patriot nation, right? a lot of people say -- i am not saying it -- a lot of people say he's one of the most overrated athletes of all time. it's a pretty bold claim, but it made us think about overrated, what it means, who is it? so, we want to know, who's more overrated out there than tebow? we're talking sports, politics, business, news anchoring. be nice, though, folks out there. use #waytooearly. we'll put the best responses on the air later in the show. >>> now to our top story this morning. later today, members of the house will hear directly from the fbi, the justice department and the nsa about the leak of classified information that revealed a vast government program to monitor americans' phone and internet data. there are growing calls on capitol hill for the self-identified leaker, 29-year-old edward snowden, to face criminal charges for his actions. some, including senators dianne feinstein and bill nelson, have called his actions "treasonist." saxby chambliss, the top republican on the intelli

andy schultz is here to talk more about the patriots' move. why do the patriots need tim tebow? >> they don't necessarily need tebow, but they feel they can take him and turn him into a useful weapon on offense for the team. josh mcdaniels, he's the patriots offensive coordinator. he was the head coach of the broncos back when tim tebow was drafted in the first round. mcdaniels is the guy who believed in the start he could turn tim tebow into a starting nfl quarterback. we're not going to see tebow starting for the new england patriots, tom brady is the starter for the new england patriots. >> isn't he going to try out for the back-up quarterback position? >> ryan mahllett is the backup, tebow comes in as the third guy. he's resisted a position change in the past. he said i'm not going to play tight end, i don't want to play fullback. he's always wanted to play quarterback, but you never know with the patriots. you could see some interesting situations when tim tebow enters the game. >> there's all kinds of things online and i like to read everything i can. tim tebow's a fascina

authored the patriot act? >> this is a really big deal. the business record section of patriot act were designed for specific investigations against specific individuals. i would see nothing wrong with targeting the phone records of somebody who is suspected of terrorism, but everybody who either sent or received a call from a from a verizon phone and maybe the other cellphone providers, that was never be the intent of the business records section.

the author one of the authors of the patriot act representative jim sensenbrenner actually wrote an op ed for the guardian and commented after seeing this top secret court order from verizon that this was not the intent of the patriot act when he wrote it that the order to seize all of these calls from verizon customers was not targeted and specific at all and he wasn't sure what law enforcement purpose what legitimate law enforcement purpose it would serve and sweeping up people who are doing all this data the n.s.a. has this hording complex collecting everything just for the purpose of the fact that they are able to collect it without any objection from congress. or the obama administration or the fact that judges in the judicial branch won't oppose it's something that i think people who are involved in supporting the patriot act actually do have some problems with than i as one of the things about the patriot act also is that a lot of congress people say hey you know you hear obama say that these people were all fully briefed but only about eight individuals inside the congress get

training camp opens five weeks from today for the new england patriots. so they're going to have to hope that something happens in the next five weeks that will give them clear guidance on the right thing to do here. it will be a huge distraction for the patriots if aaron hernandez is arrested, charged, indicted, and then shows up for training camp. look for the nfl and the patriots to work together to come up with a plan on how to deal with hernandez. there may not be much that happens at all over the next month or so. they may not know much more than they know right now when the time comes to welcome aaron hernandez into the facility with open arms. >> now, in a situation like this, does the team call the player in and say, listen, tell us your version? i mean, obviously hernandez has an attorney as we've seen in the past with other players in trouble. they get an attorney. but do they talk with the team and lay out what they know? >> well, it depends on the team and the problem is if you have the head coach, the owner, the general manager talking to th

originally they've done all of this under the veil of the patriot act. the patriot act literally said it had to be a foreign agent, foreign power or agent of a important power that was communicating with someone here and there has to be suspect of espionage or terrorism. now it is a blanket take 3 billion phone calls and cover it. they have gone out of their way to give themselves unbelievable power. >> i think human beings have a problem with the scope of it. when you talk about the size of something, for example, every day you throw out your trash, it is picked up by a dump truck, goes to the dump. nobody bothers with it. a crime committed on your street, the police go to the dump, look through it. that's how this works. all of a sudden when you expand to a larger number, everybody is freaking out. >> listen to one more sound bite. >> a new leader will be elected, they'll flip the switch, say that because of the crisis, because of the dangers that we face in the world, you know, some new and unpredicted threat, we need more authority, we need more powe

patriot act says that these things are going to happen. if anybody read it you knew this would occur. >> patriot act means the government can wire tap and cannot -- not even wire tap. can look at anything of any american citizen whatsoever and then hide behind any law they create, secret laws -- >> neil: you can see her point, one guy's sense of a collection of data could be someone else's need for trusted high security information that should never be compromised. >> right. but if you're going to make the argument this is a national security violation, then you have to say what it is. for the american people to know that the government is searching and looking into our private lives, when we're not terrorists. >> neil: what is the difference between this guy assange. >> ways was debated in the u.s. patriot act. i remember being on law school campuses and these are what professors were arguing. we're going compromise our privacy. >> neil: even ken was saying there's a balance. did we overstep it? >> no. we haven't had a -- wait. wait. over

the great benefit of the patriot act as it broke down those walls. prior to the patriot acts, within the bureau, those who were doing the national security work could not talk to criminal agents and vice versa, much less have persons in the fbi talked to the cia or nsa or others. the great benefit of the patriot act is it did away with that and enabled us to build those relationships, change that culture, and understand that in order for us to be successful, we had to work closely together on any number of these threats. >> is there anything you would >> what about national security letters? >> national security letters was the device given to us to gather information on the existence of the telephone call. we had a procedure we needed to follow. in most cases, we did. in a number of cases, we did not have the procedures. we move ahead quickly and did not put in place procedures to assure we have the proper paperwork and foundation in requesting those letters. we have put into place a software program that insures you have the appropriate foundation

i think congress will likely have to revisit this portion of the patriot act. they do not want this to be what the patriot act is. >> john, what's interesting to me is now the white house has pushed back saying this isn't as bad as it may seasonal to be. we don't have access to the subject of the calls, it's effectively looking at the numbers that were dialed. there may be some geodata as far as where the calls were made from. there are some people in congress saying it's not that big of a deal. you have two different schools of thought on this. >> yes and it is clear by the way from some of the reactions of members of congress that this he have been briefed on this. now, i do think it's important to note that very few things that both parties agree on in this country. but the fact that the collection of this data occurred under the bush administration, in the belief that it assisted national security. it was criticized on how they went about it. as we've just discussed, without warrants. now you have the obama administration saying we still want to collect tha
