you were warned that you needed to call the president out, that what you ignore you empower. but the word was, oh, he won t do that again. then came mohammad bin salman, the saudi ruler. trump put out a statement of the killing of khashoggi that said our intel agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the crown prince had no knowledge of this tragic event. maybe he did, maybe he didn t. bs, and he should have known it. this time a loss of life ignored. a non-american, as if that made it less urgent. once again, the gop brass, nothing. if you give this guy a pass after he disrespected you, you will look weak. i disagree with the president s assessment. it is inconsistent with the intelligence i ve seen. it was about disagreement. there s only one set of intelligence. you were supposed to call it out but you were afraid. so now comes the trifecta and the worst of them all, of
to basically put the government in the role of secret police. what do you think of that? i think it should require a warrant before you turn the material over to the justice department. we do more than that we also turn information against americans over to foreign countries. if we pick up some domestic surveillance that shows that an american is planning with a non-american against some other country, we turn that information certainly over to our allies in great britain and france and in europe. so, i think a warrant has a role to play. you can t have warrants for general surveillance. because you don t know what i are going to pick up. you are looking for conversation. you are looking for noise and then the experts filter through the noise and figure out when there is relevant information. tucker: right. it s very complex to get a warrant. once you are turning it over to the justice department or other governments, a warrant requirement makes some sense. tucker: bottom line,

giving intensive review of it. we welcome that. we welcome the discussion. but we have to have this. we have to have this reauthorized. we are able to surveilled terrorists around the globe. there is never been a need for a warrant to surveilled a terrorist, a non-american in a foreign country who might pose a threat to the united states. never been a warrant for that. we ve got to be careful that we do not inhibit our investigators from protecting this country. bret: rand paul and others say they re have to be changes. the american people deserve better from our own government than to have their internet activity swept up in warrant list unlimited searches that ignore the fourth amendment, the new bill, the building are pushing, institutes member reforms that prove we can still respect our contribution down the constitution. pretty good to a lot of people concerned about privacy issues. when you surveilled a person abroad, you do not have to have
2017, and we ve got a president that was basically bred on bigotry and was made wealthy by a legacy of bigotry, and he s basically offered a clarion call to bigots and racists and white supremacists and domestic terrorists that you can pretty much do what you want. and as quickly as he demonized president obama as a non-american, as this, you know challenged his patriotism and his heritage, as quickly as he did that, he wouldn t, when it really needed to, say white supremacy, the kkk, nazis, no place in this country. i don t accept them. i don t support but he can t say that because they ve been part of his base. i m i m sort of at a loss frankly. i think we all are.
