but he s been paralyzed in an accident. this is weird. he s just reading wikipedia. then turns out paul did another speech lifted from the wikipedia page. the senator declined repeated requests to comment on these discoveries. then he appeared on the fusion network and was forced to face the music. as a journalist i have to ask you this question. msnbc accused you of plagiarism on monday. they accused you of stealing four lines from wikipedia for your speech. is this true? and they re saying that you borrow lines from wikipedia entry about the movie gatica. so what happened? yeah. we did. and i let people know that you did? well, we borrowed the plot lines from gatica. it s a movie and i gave credit to the people who wrote the movie. i think they re arguing about whether or not things are
blades flashing from the wheels. when things go wrong, he only sharpens the blades. he seeks the presidency, of course and he appears to be doing it by sowing as much confusion and disorder as possible. in an interview he did with abc with fusion network i think that s spanish translation. cruz said that president obama is abusing his power. you think president obama has been abusing his power? i think he has absolutely been abusing his power. and when you have a president that says regardless of whether congress acts, i m going to force my agenda on the american people, that s wrong. alex and cath lekathleen tha
and that he only recently found out about an nsa operation that wiretapped german chancellor s angela merkel s phone. but other officials say he or at least his staff did know. which is it? is he aloof and out of touch or not coming clean with us. or is there something completely grey in the middle? i want to bring in editor at large of foreign policy magazine and democratic strategist. i want to begin with you maria. a key member of the homeland security committee said of the surveillance issues if the president didn t know that raises serious questions about what he s doing as chief executive. isn t that fair? here is the problem with that. and the president said this on fusion network in his interview recently. we don t know whether he did know or not because it s classified. and that s as it should be when
at the house intelligence committee holding a hearing on that very issue. witnesses include the director of national intelligence, james clapper, who sounded a wri note on the outrage over u.s. international spy efforts. i have to say, chairman rodgers, some of this reminds me a lot of the classic movie kasa blanka, my god, there is gambling going on here. the same thing. indeed it is. the president faces an uproar including from chancellor mer l merkel, whose cell phone was tapped. the administration has denied the president knew the extent of the spying. and the president said last night he has ordered a fuel review. in an interview on the new fusion network. the national security operations generally have one person, and that is to make sure the american people are safe and i m making good decisions and i m the final user of all the
countries like germany, for example. we ve seen the embarrassing disclosures about that in the recent days. the white house says not exactly. we ll have a review, change some of the policies but don t use the word all. don t have a blanket prohibition on this. in trying to put this behind us, we may have raised more questions. the president did an interview with the fusion network. do you think he did enough to calm concerns? is he explaining his position on the nsa and his spying policy directive to the nsa? did he do enough yesterday? probably not. in the sense that he would not even publicly concede that the german chancellor s phone, some of those conversations were monitored. the president has a tough one. this is top-secret classified intelligence programs, the specifics of it and the practice of it. the president will have to do a couple things. at administration will have to answer the tough questions from congress and in doing so, hopefully answer questions from
