to required to spy on ordinary citizens. what happens when you re sr. vailing foreign terrorists? how do ordinary americans get swept up in that and get surveilledsome. from time to time, american citizens, some of them perhaps more than others, but nobody really knows how often it might happen, if you re talking to someone who turns out to be an agent of a foreign power, somebody on foreign soil lo who s being surveilled under fisa s 702, your end of the conversation will also be scooped up. we call that incidental collection. it ll be then stored on an finishes sa database. nsa data base. and what i ve been arguing for years is in order for them to do a query of your name knowing that you re a u.s. citizen before they type in maria bartiromo, show me everything that we ve gotten on her on the data a base, that really ought to require a warrant. you see, because they ve collected that without a warrant in order to access it knowing
policing themselves especially when it comes to fisa where we ve seen abuse after abuse after abuse like the agent who ran an american citizen through the 702 database and did a query on him because he was thinking about renting an apartment for him. or the guy who thought that the his dad was cheating op his mom, so he ran his dad through it. maria: wow. or the other agent who decided to run 19,000 donors to a congressional campaign through the fisa 702 database. those were all under the leadership of is the same people who will be in charge of overseeing these so-called reforms. it s kind of like handing the keys to the fox rain telling him to have fun with the henhouse. of he s in charge. maria: welsh senator, it just seemses like over and over again we hear so many complaints about the fbi and the fbi abused all of this during the trump era, and and yet, you know, your group just watched new money go to the fbi so that they can make
that you re a u.s. citizen. they should have to get a warrant for that. it s not too much to ask. and yet the united states senate passed this just a couple days ago without any warrant requirement. that s are very unfortunate. maria: well, wait a minute. because critics of your upset on this say that there were 56 reforms and restrictions on the fbi to fisa warrants in the bill that would stop future crossfire hurricane and put criminal penalties in place. they say that this is critical to stopping terrorists that are likely in the country now, and they say almost 100% of what we knew if about the cartels, the drug cartels and fentanyl producers working with china is because of fisa s 702 and this program. yeah. look, these are fake leaves fig leaves as far as reforms go. they put some reforms in place. do you know who they put in charge of them? fbi leadership. so if you re comfortable with how fbi top brass will be

use the leverage we have to force real border security. i ll tell you, maria, this week was a bad week for the united states constitution. this week we had the alejandro mayorkas trial that was supposed to happen this week, and senate democrats, every democrat refused to hold a trial and essentially nuked the impeachment proviolations provisions of the constitution. and also this week we saw both the house and the senate refuse to enforce the fourth amendment s warrant requirement for searches of american citizens on fisa. and i think both of those the in the same week is really a bad week for the constitution. maria: well, and not to mention this two-tiered system of justice. you have got opening statements in the so-called hush money trial tomorrow for president trump. and i should point out we ve got breaking news from tony bobulinski, he is actually filing suit against your colleague in the house, representative jamie raskin. tony bobulinski says jamie raskin as has repeatedly li
