red wall uh... legendary their filibuster yesterday uh...
approximately thirteen hours
so they don't work of course not
now in thirty eight hour he said
all tired in terms of this on the other two
in the middle of a day
failure to do that now
that he did a real
so in a little on time is a long this will busters
particle busters
uh... in history actually
and going for him i totally agree with them on them
philosophy he was
trying to block john brennan's uh... nomination
for to be the head of the c_i_a_ but he was really blocking it
because he wanted a get
that our answers from the administration
on the throne programming could be a kill u_s_ citizens on u_s_ up the soil
without a trial on eric holder in john brennan
and the present himself had albany incredibly evasive about that
uh... and in fact had anything in a letter to rainfall that it be caught
in fact you let me quote down there
uh... eric holder just said in his lasorda filibuster
it is possible i suppose him as an extraordinary sort of says in which you
would be necessary and appropriate
under the constitutional pl and applicable laws in the united states
for the president
to authorize the military to use lethal force
within the territory of the united states in other words yes
we can excuse u_s_'s without a trial
he said for example the president could conceivably have no choice
but dog was the military to use
such force if necessary to protect their homeland
in the circumstances like catastrophic attacked like the one suffered on
december seventh nineteen forty one
and september eleven two thousand and one in other words well you know if i
decided that it's a really extreme circumstance
than the president in skillful
uh... without her
now look if there's a imminent attack
rainfall and everyone else
the grease that's a different situation of situation
we've had for the history the united states
if air con see somebody pulling a gun he can shilpa dot everybody knows that
right
we're talking about a situation where there is not in a minute at
and on that
eric holder was purposely make ncnd indicated they have that authority
hence the filibuster now rental knew that he was gonna lose on this issue in
n and he did now when he and the filibuster of course today they could
provoke
and with sixty three to thirty four
and uh... they lost john brennan is now the head of the c_i_a_ rainfall
did vote against them
so what did thirty one republicans
who are the three an honorable balloons
uh... against brennan well alright
in some ways these these are hero quotes uh... senator pat leahy
from vermont
senator jeff berkeley uh... from organ who would express support for and paul's
actions
yesterday even though he did run on the floor
and then uh... senator bernie sanders was of course an independent of vermont
as a landlord your senator sam is a nice show up
yesterday to support rainfall is filled with surprises
of course the
the most recent long this filibuster was by senator bernie sanders
so i will probably would've support him but at least he did support it
and the vote that of course is very important even though they lost but it's
not really a loss
because
right after the filibuster
what does the white house too
alot anytime this pressure from republican on the white house
you're probably going to get a good answer from that and it was a democrat
when bernie sanders than his incredibly long filibuster
talk about income inequality and not approved
uh... the
extension the bush tax cuts
almost the entire media ignored him everybody norman of course the white
house in order to i kept democratic senate wrote a book about that that's
funny
where invested in a panic because the democrats
now it's a republic duit
between wait until u_s_ citizens are u_s_ fault
all-important in that
sorry comes j carney they explain that eric holder has
it after in essence really change his position
from the letter cloaked
does the president have the authority to use a weapon eyes drone to kill an
american not engaged in combat on american soil
the answer is no
the answer to that question is now
alright all of sudden
they're very clear
this is not going to die i was looking is a lot of support
i spoke about was really do your assigned some of them not all them
and i suspect that word can now
unsure of course that we won't do it would be on u_s_ soil will wait till you
get off your soul
phuket but it becomes more clear
the president has not been would not use drawn strikes against american citizens
on american soil
on the broader question of legal authorities
do you do exist to use lethal for force are bound by constrained by the law and
the constitution the issue here isn't the technology the method
change the law
the president's warrant an oath to uphold the constitution and he is bound
by the law whether the lethal force in question is they'd run strike or a
gunshot the law unconstitutional find the same way
that is such a weapon of mass destruction right there
so i'll get all my god
uh... what hamas and robert that discipline several hundred attitude at
it
but in reality of course doesn't matter the popcorn isn't it isn't wrong
the boys what are you doing with that trough and so these guys pretending like
opt impreza aleks public as a division
itself was not an issue
what will have a three u_s_ citizens you execute it without a trial
that we're not inside the united states
that's also unconstitutional
but he did it anyway
they were in the middle of a battlefield they weren't part of planning in a
minute attack
and you actually get it done
so how about that our timing
you know and so that
and the reality is until they were embarrassed by ram fault
as some others
planting give the president that local forty whether you want to use it aside
u_s_ owes a different issue
i don't know that he would have
but i do know that if you give the executive branch back kind of power
exile point
someone will use it
and that's not how we're supposed to run things or just trust
the king i mean executive
to do the right thing
in essence rainfall here with a victory because it gets them on the record say
ok fine fine we won't use it on u_s_ soil tax if you u_s_ citizens is he
satisfied with that
let's go to rebel
peace talks
i'm quite happy with the answer and i'm disappointed it took a month and a half
and uh... root canal to get it but we did get the answer
that's what i've been asking all along style abandonment rate for rental income
for it
