his nsa story also graces the latest cover of the issue of "wired" magazine. james, thanks for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> james, answer that question for us. we have only heard about the spying that goes one way from the u.s. toward our european allies. but is it true that the same kind of intelligence is gathered by european and other allies, russians, et cetera, against us? >> well, it's true that they would like to collect intelligence from us and it is true that they try to collect intelligence from us. the difference is we have basically the nuclear weapon equivalent of eavesdropping machine and they have the equivalent of an army howitzer. so we have far more money to spend on eavesdropping, far more technical capability, far more personnel, far more access and they are fairly limited when it comes to all of those things. so although they try to spy on the u.s., the u.s. has enough capabilities to pretty. much deny a lot of the activities or deny them the capabilities for spying on us while we have enormous capabilities to spy on them. >> then jam

if you think the nsa debate is not going on in the democratic party, you're fooling yourself. it is. a lot of other debates are going on in the democratic party. congressman king is absolutely right that republicans are going to decide in the next 2 1/2 years as we go and have a nominee who is going to carry them and be the standard bearer, and i want to commend congressman king, the king from new york who is the king i like, and i want to commend speaker boehner and representative cantor for having come out this week and done what they've had to do, show leadership and speak and denounce against the hateful, ignorant rhetoric of steve king. it is enough. we have had enough of this man. he does not define the republican party. i think there's many more peter kings. there's many more john boehners in congress than there are steve king. this is a man who's a mediocre congressman who makes news only when he says something this inflammatory. >> how do you really feel, ana? >> congressman, i want to let you just close up this section anyway and ask you, if you should be the standar

advocacy groups is suing the nsa. it includes human rights watch and groups representing muslims and environmental activists and others. representatives of the coalition filed the suit in california. they are demanding the nsa halt its collection of phone communications and destroy any information it has stored. they argue that the nsa is spying on ordinary citizens and they say that's a violation of constitutional rights and free speech and association. a u.s. civil rights organization filed a similar suit. the agency defended the intelligence gathering program saying they have prevented terrorist attacks. >>> japanese investigators are taking a closer look at several of the nation's nuclear plants. they are trying to find out if the land beneath them is prone to earthquakes. a team of experts supported by the nuclear regulation authority is investigating the monju plant. the reactor is designed to generate power using plutonium from spent nuclear fuel. it's currently idle. it sits on 8 geological faults they are try

then had you boehner and pelosi agreeing to give the nsa the latitude. this is alice in wonderland stuff. this is through the looking glass. i don't even understand this. >> that is why we are so ambivalent abouted ward snowden. yes, he is a man who exposed these secrets and he ran to china and russia and how dare he and he deserves the full weight of the law to crush his egoism and his hypocrisy. on the other hand, he has raised some issues that we couldn't even talk about a week ago or before snowden, rather. if you had spoken or debated the nsa program, you would have been arrested for revealing the nation's secrets. now, everyone is talking about it. a lot of people are very uncomfortable about what the nsa does, so, it is not surprising that the father still generates some sympathy. we want the book thrown at the son but my goodness it's not like he committed some some horrible violent crime. >> laura: geraldo, thanks very much. next on the run down, bill sits down with andrew dice clay who made surprising comments about his raunchy routine when we

spiegel reported on saturday that the nsa install bugs and the eu representative office in new york. it says to have eavesdropped on meetings and also reported the nsa infiltrated computer networks of the facilities. intercepting internal documents and e-mail. spiegel reported that eavesdropping also took place at an eu building in brussells around five years ago. the german magazine says such conduct but the cia was in an nsa document which snowden had taken with him. the president of the european parliament, smartin schultz, said if this is correct it will have a severe impact on relations between the eu and the u.s. schultz also demanded full clarification and further information from the u.s. government as soon adds possible. is now snowden is wanted in the u.s. for espionage. he has asked for asylum in ecuador and is hold up in an airport. joe biden asked the request be turned down. corea told biden his country couldn't consider the request until snowden arrives in ecuador or shows up at a diplomatic mission. he told biden it would be in accordance with ecuadorian law. >>> thous

the nsa issue is not around listening to conversations. it's about phone records, and it's phone records of americans talking to foreign nationals. it is permitted under the patriot act. now, i oppose the patriot act in part because i knew this sort of violations of privacy were allowed. i do support either repealing the patriot act, or if we want to at least find a better balance between privacy and protecting our country. i know we can do it. look, you know, there's no doubt that on the intelligence side of things they would rather have access to everything. if we were to a totalitarian state we in fact probably would be safer from terrorist attack, but the question is you don't want to give up what makes your country special, your freedom and that's how the terrorists win, we give up our freedom. so we need a fix on the patriot act. i'm happy to talk about either repealing it and goings' in a different direction, or a narrow fix around a specific revelations of snowden. >> so, to go to the e-mail question, though, representative, are ou

questioning this huge spying issue on the nsa, they are un-american. some great democrats are questioning this as well as rand paul. the nsa, i believe, has gone too far and we should be asking questions, but rand paul is dead wrong. he wants fema to help victims of tornados in kentucky but not the hurricane in new jersey that's what fema is all about and what we should be doing. >> michael: and the hypocrisy is so blatant. sometimes it's a little more subtle. let's talk a little bit about this shutdown that they are threat inning. i reader harry reid saying if you don't think the government is going to be shut down, give newt gingrich a call. i'm sure you can get him on the call. are they threat? >> i don't think they are, but even the fact that they would be talking about them is totally irresponsible. we remember what happened during the government shutdown wh when -- bill clinton was president and a lot of people got hurt. it's paying our bills, and republicans now suddenly to make this a political football is totally irresponsible and president ob

i'm not concerned by what the nsa is doing because i think they might read my facebook messages. i'm concerned because the nsa is spending billions of dollars doing all sorts of stuff that i as a united states citizen never really got to sign off on. democracies can and must be able to have secrets, and in fact, all democracies do. but what decent, functioning democracies worthy of the name cannot have are huge, multibillion dollar programs and bureaucracies and laws and legal frameworks and authorizations that are all invisible to their citizens. justice may be blind. citizens cannot be. >>> we'll be right back with #click3. we do a ton of research projects on angie's list.home... at angie's list, you'll find reviews on everything from home repair to healthcare written by people just like you. with angie's list, i save time, money, and i avoid frustration. you'll find great companies and great angie's list discounts. you want to be sure the money you're about to spend is money well spent. before you have any work done on your home... go to angie's list. go to angie's list. find
