if i had music mr. paul paul is; is that correct. >> we're talking about both operations and entertainment separately. >> it is a bar now that is allowed to open from 6:00 to 2:00 but we're saying we're going to not only restrict their a.m. if i had musk but restrict in their opening is that it. >> that's the conversation. >> it sounds like most of neighbors are obtaining to the a.m. if i had musicmplified music and the they're open until 2 o'clock in the morning but being open for the bar activities is different but i'll open to restricting the hours from the commission feels i'd thought about the idea of being open until midnight or opened until entertainment for you know friday and saturday approximately thursday and friday and saturday until 10 o'clock i'm not making a motion but throwing that out. >> commissioner johnson. >> okay. so just real quick on the green roof i'm supportive of that change i can tell right now that if we had left it with a larger original yards i'm not sure we said have maki

mr. paul: my concern is under the new program, that the records will still be sucked up into n.s.a. computers but the computers will be at the phone company, not in utah. so the question is, will it be a distinction without a difference? the question also will be will this be individualized? one of the things about the fourth amendment that was the biggest part of the fourth amendment for our founding fathers was that a warrant should be individualized. general warrants were what we fought the revolution over. james otus fought a famous case in the 1760's and he found against the british soldiers writing their own warrants. the interesting thing is, part of the patriot act allows our police to write their own warrants. we have something called national security letters. these have been done by the hundreds of thousands. interestingly, when the president first -- or when the president was in the senate, he was opposed to national security letters and said that they should have judicial warrants. now it's kind of interesting that in this bill that will pass -- it's supported by the pr

mr. paul: i'm not going to take it anymore. reporter: the mass collection of american phone records falls under the was patriot act and started after the september 11 attacks. the new bill stops the ball collection but preserve some of the nsa's other surveillance abilities, powers the fbi says are critical to terrorism investigations. it passed the house by a huge margin earlier this month. >> what's the problem? a small group of senators standing in the way. reporter: the debate revealed faultlines in the republican party. an angry senate majority leader mitch mcconnell -- >> it should be warring for our country. the nature of the threat we face is very serious. as our enemies grow more sophisticated. reporter: with no more vote scheduled, the surveillance program will expire at midnight. gloria riviera, abc news washington. kellye: before adjourning, the senate voted to move ahead with the patriot act replacement bill , up for vote tuesday or wednesday. even opponents say the measure has enough votes to pass. a virginia task

mr. paul: tonight begins the process of ending bulk collection. the bill will ultimately pass but we always look for silver linings. i think the bill may be replacing one form of bulk collection with another but the government after this bill passes will no longer collect your phone records. my concern is that the phone companies still may do the same thing. currently, my understanding is the n.s.a. is at the phone company sucking up the phone records and sending them to utah. my concern is -- the presiding officer: order. order in the senate, please. the senator deserves to be heard. mr. paul: my concern is under the new program, that the records will still be sucked up into n.s.a. computers but the computers will be at the phone company, not in utah. so the question is, will it be a distinction without a difference? the question also will be will this be individualized? one of the things about the fourth amendment that was the biggest part of the fourth amendment for our founding fathers was that a warrant should be individualized. general warra

mr. paul: madam president? the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. paul: madam president? the presiding officer: is senator from kentucky. mr. paul: i would be happy to agree to dispensing with the time and having a vote at the soonest possibility if we were allowed to accommodate amendments for those of us who opposeobject to the bill. i think the bill could be made much better with amendment ofs and if we could come to an arranges to allow amendments to be voted orntion i would on, i would be happy to to. but at this point i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. mr. mcconnell: madam president, without consent to speed things up, a cloture vote will occur an hour after the senate convenes tomorrow on tuesday. therefore, senators should expect the cloture vote at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. mr. burr: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from north carolina. mr. burr: madam president before recess, there was an attempt to try to bring finality before this bill expired. and at that time i reached out to my friend and colleague from kentucky, senator paul

paul a republican is the first presidential candidate to do so. in the age of wanting transparency and presidential elections is a good thing the paul campaign is allowing bitcoin contributions? >> guest: i don't know that i'm qualified to say whether it's a good thing. i think probably the way it's being done within election politics right now, it's limited to relatively small sums so in that sense it's like somebody giving a 20 or 50-dollar bill to a candidate that's not necessarily like someone giving $10,000 of unmarked bills to a candidate. but i think the most notable element is at rand paul decided to do that on day one of his candidacy. it shows the degree to which the bitcoin technology and the movement that grew up around bitcoin has been driven by a lot of libertarian sentiment that is also driving rand paul's candidacy. it drives home just how much bitcoin was a result of the anxiety and unhappiness they came on the financial crisis and also given rise to the popularity of libertarian candidates. this mission of central authority and t

mr. paul said. >> thank you, mr. chairman. secretary, thank you for being here. i want to address a couple of things. in minnesota unlike many states we have pretty low uninsured rate prior to the president's health care law kicking into effect and we have a high risk tool for people that have preexisting conditions since 1976 and it wasn't perfect but it works pretty well. the high-risk pool is closed away from the new exchange program said. a lot of the headlines would've heard from colleagues concerns about premiums rising. headlines over the last few weeks in minnesota should be experienced under the new exchange of the president health care law law has been affecting pocketbooks. eight minnesota health care plans proposed premium hikes of 11% to 74%. another story here, blue cross blue shield of minnesota the largest in the individual market and now proposed average increases of 54%. certainly this is a pocketbook issue for families individuals, small business alike and my hope regardless of the court decision and how that goes that we will work with the adm

mr. king is recognized. >> thank you mr. chairman. let me thank all of the witnesses for their testimony today and the service they have given our country. i would like to slightly disagree with something the ranking member said or maybe more about clarification but whether or not isis use of social media can by itself cause someone to carry out violent action. we had new york case where a man in queens attacked two police officers with a hatchet and it doesn't appear of a long process of radicalization. he was responding to a director from isis. and we had two women, this might have been a longer process with ied's in their apartment and they both seemed to primary means of radicalization was the isis use of social media. am i correct? >> i would suggest congressman you are absolutely correct in they believed they are able to operationize people solely through social media. they believe they can enter into the dialogue and provide the tools and they are not getting into complex tools. bu

marshall service, fugitive task for, mr. lenny paul. what we now know to be a fact they couldn't have done this by themselves. they had a suitcase a guitar case full of power tools. that alone, tells you, who helped them. >> there was help from the inside. they are questioning folks. that's the "question of the day." if in fact this female did help them did she make phone calls, meet people on the outside? did she bring in money for them, cell phones? >> who gets the tools? who shows us how to use the tools? then the bigger question as we see over lenny's shoulder look this labyrinth of steam pipes and infrastructure under this old prison. you have to know where you are going. some tabloids going they followed the biggest pipe. i hear it's not that simple. they knew where to go and how to use junction boxes to power their tools. they had enough confidence about themselves to leave a stupid note on their way out. what does that tell you? >> crazy. i don't think they woke up friday morning and said let's chop through two feet of brick wal

i would only give mr. paul park credit on this. with respect to the president the supreme court has not decided this metadata program was unconstitutional. there have been some lower courts that have addressed the issue and more recently a court of appeals opinion that said not that the program was unconstitutional but that it was not authorized by the statute. section 215 of the patriot act authorizes the gathering of his missed related to an investigation of the court of appeals decided it was interpreted in such a broadway by gathering all of these bulk metadata records that that was not consistent with what the statute was intended to do. that is quite a different conclusion than saying it was unconstitutional. i don't think you can argue that the president was willfully ignoring the supreme court law on this. the court of appeals opinion is something the government could challenge. it's not necessarily a fait acco mpli. i think the picture is blurry as far as the legality of this program but i certainly don't think there is an

mr. paul: i ask unanimous consent that all the time be yielded back. the presiding officer: without objection. all time is yielded back. the question occurs on the neffenger nomination. a senator: i ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote: vote:

mr. president, i cannot support passage of the so-called usa freedom act. it is not enhance the privacy protections of american citizens and the surely undermined american security by taking one more tool from our war fighters in my view at exactly the wrong time.

mr. reed: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from rhode island. mr. reed: mr. president the senator from arizona is correct. every uniformed chief of service came before us and said the greatest crisis facing the military was sequestration the budget control act. they asked us to change it. and we didn't change it. if we are going to change it, then we have to take every effort and every step to make those changes. and that is the point that i tried to raise in the committee not by eliminating the funds available to the military but by making these funds subject to responsible action following the request of the defense officials to eliminate sequestration. i think we should do it as soon as possible. if we don't take every opportunity to make that case and every action possible to take that case, then we will be essentially rejecting the advice of our senior military leaders. and the suggestion that this bill is somehow so totally disconnected to the appropriations process is belied

i thought that mr. rand paul, since he has come to washington, has been nothing but about himself. he says all the right things but his behavior does the exact opposite. this grandstand he pulled with the nsa, which was a republican priority, this man has placed our country's future at risk for grandstanding. he is not presidential material. i would bet that he is a domestic terrorizing the type of person who will eventually lead us back into another war we do not need to be in. the rest of the republican field , it is a joke. it has not been serious since i would say, since jack kemp died. host: is the democratic field serious this year? caller: hillary thought that way when she went against obama and she found how quickly -- she found out quickly how uninhabitable she was. there are a lot of other good democrats out there that have not spoken because they are all believing the hillary i. hype. she is a democrat in name only. she will do exactly what her husband did. she is going to probably undo a lot of good things obama has done because he did them and she did not. host: a few
