it has been a rough week for the president uh... barack obama
you know we've had this caller
eighteen get department of justice car for folks
and uh... it the president was speaking with uh... turkish prime minister today
in the white house rose garden it took a couple questions which he hasn't been
too happy to be the last few days uh... and he said this they can put
uh...
some of our intelligence officers warned various dangerous situations that are
easily compromised
at risk
u_s_ national security
uh... is
dependent on those folks being able to uh... operate
uh... wits confidence that folks back home have their backs
it so they're not just left out there
uh... high-end rock
uh... and potentially put in even more danger than they may already be
uh... and so i make no apologies i don't think the american board expect me as
commander in chief not to be concerned
about information that might compromise their missions for might
get them killed
while so there's a lot of subjects there and some full frontal taxi gun
true is a profound effects that i don't have to do anything that it was an
outdoor full-text
first off most obviously his hair is getting grier brightness that
justin's now ambassador maginnis and that's saying he's not using just for
men antonio everything every time he caves into the republican ticket for the
greater bethlehem
it's accurate
that use a couple interesting things there because this idea that yes he
believes in freedom of speech but that
the government has to go ahead and do things that we can't quite know about
you know that when franklin said
those who give of liberty
for security deserve either and we are now faced with this
as americans
uh... what do you think about well when he said that you know they need to know
that americans have their back that we have their back
and and i don't think that that is exactly what we're talking about here
because communist leader in the bush administration there were all kinds of
leaks going on
and the bush administration was also very involved in uh... subpoenaing
subpoenaing yes subpoenaing yeah ahead brad journalists they emails phone
records of sarani brian ross back in two thousand six for a_b_c_ you know he was
actually told in person because they didn't trust phones ourselves our emails
or anything instilled in person we know who you're calling
and you should get new phones immediately so this is not the first
time that this is happening that was regarding
the c_i_a_ black sites
uh... you know that the secret prisons overseas that were being used to torture
people against american law cell and they also of the bush administration
also targeted to
the reporters that reported the n_s_a_ celebratory wiretapping on people
without so they also one after those people so this isn't anything new
and it's funny that the only thing that brought the bomb it should be
apologizing for this week
isn't being he isn't apologizing for it
he shouldn't be a part of the breaking of this is wrong with their doing so
when i said are we have agreed that this is out of the three big scandals right
based on actual this is the one world renowned listen to what we want access
should be a scandal in you know what he says that though the people who were
doing work for us overseas needs to know that uh... we have
we have their backs
so the people who are doing good work to protect the united states
and its constitution and its way of life they need to know that back here at the
president's the shooting all over that work five hundred percent of the time
and making sure that the constitution freedom of speech
and oppressive fourthestate isn't allowed to do its job
because now what they've done is they've made sure that nobody
is gonna ever talked to be a b again if they're afraid for their own safety
there's a couple fascinating things here in the department justice
already has been on the record saying they can go through your emails face
book messages that you hear national security letters we're not going to tell
you that they've stolen your stuff like that and we all have that stuff we all
have to digital communication
uh... but now that this is about the press do you think that we may need to
get to
the breaking point here because the press we did something about them then
they get very concerned hoping to get back concern during the bush
administration there was some yelling and screaming and and belly aching about
it but it didn't change much of anything so i think it's really ironic now that
you know suddenly republicans cara about this kind of thing they care about
government overreach whereas they didn't scare
just a few short years ago yeah it seems the
only uh... time that
but for the press is not going to have the right to fight back i think that the
only ones that are as the a_p_ is kind of upset
when they're the only ones really recreating the rockets about you know
prime lenses and pissed off before the robert it's interesting you say that at
the network guys seem to be here pretty quiet i think there's been a little more
i thought the busby dot little guys they seem to be
iraq burke yet your garters but i think they're wonderful hard-hitting news you
can get there though
cold war there
but you think this is one of those things where the news cycle and
fortunately he's so quick
these days that no matter how big or the g_-eight amid a scandal is that
we just in a way to go untreated yes
i do think that and i think that the people are being overwhelms with some
with big stories
and on to the thing is they can't do what what with the media used to do was
decipher between what was the *** scandals that what we're real scandals
and will kind of filter through the good news for you but now they don't status
report everything as how the person saying it wants a reported so directly
once been got to be a scandal
it's a scandal
right the right wing was the i_r_s_ seem to be a scandal it's a scandal even
though it's not a scandal yeah exactly and i and i think that's gonna happen
here right now in center city this is is actually
an extremely serious issue
outside of being united states that government not following their own
regulations when it comes to this kind of surveillance but what i think we'll
find is that republicans are not going to press obama on any of this because
they actually love abusing press freedom
if they don't want to talk about it then you know the corporate media guys they
probably won't talk about it either as you say they followed the weed of the
republican how much do you think we can hurt me
to trust the government at some level we have to trust
in a way that they are going to do the right thing now
of course all of us in the media business we don't want them happy
propose overtaken the phone records serra
departmental secure we don't know things that the president
it's just the fact
so how much we wait can we give them before we actually are getting worse
well right now
you know i don't think we trust the government all uh... i think that's why
there's checks and balances and uh... that's why
uh... there's different branches of government that is close to check each
other that's why we have the first amendment in the constitution because
the press is close to play a vital role injecting government power
and so what you undermine that you're undermining our way of governing
here on the white man in a way of life and uh... it's that's not good
yeah what what do you think about his line specifically saying no
college census figures i think he's doing so he's going like sort of so over
the top it's like i was so double down on the rules
that that's what's gonna stop because i know you guys really don't want
buying well i think he's using that as an excuse to basically say look see how
strong i am i'm strong on defense cuts that something that
by democrats are traditionally began to hit four even if there's no basis for in
reality but you know what i think is also interesting is that the obama
administration has asked about charles schumer senator from new york democratic
senator to established to reintroduce as it's a legislation for a federal shield
law for journalists there i uh... i think about half a dozen half of the
states have uh... instilled laws in place but not all of them rendition t_v_
at the law that prevents the government from actually forcing journalists to
give up their sources doesn't mean i'll follow the law and of course they have
other possible options available like national security letters that they can
get all this information anyway but at least there's a possibility that we
would get this one in date
presentment of course we we should also say that this was something that rock
about was forward humorous with this matter would become president it
