we could require the companies maintain it in easily accessible databases to the nsa when the nsa would have a fisa court order, they could get the information quickly. we want to connect the dots between terrorist suspects. but there's no reason in the world that should pull in every american's private information. >> you came seven votes short. seems to me it isn't going to take much for you guys to tweak this amendment and get it to pass the house. what would be the tweak that you think you're going to do? is it what you just said, maybe creating a part of this amendment to force the phone companies to keep this data? because that's been another reasoning, explanation that the nsa has give bn, that at phone companies destroy these records. >> i think if we had a successor program designed, which you can't do through appropriations amendment, which this was. if we can thoughtfully design a successor program that meets our national security needs but also protects our libertieliberties, that would clearly put it over the top because here we're facing, you know, this amendment through a

the fight over controversial nsa domestic spying programs is not over. we're following that as well this hour. the proof came last night after a very close vote in the house. all want to defund that program that collects phone records but the nsa was spared by a vote of 217-205. lawmakers for and against it made their cases on "the daily rundown" last hour. >> all we were saying with this amendment this should be about people who are targets of investigation. why are we stockpiling at the nsa your calls, my calls, everybody else's information. it should be subjects of terrorist investigations. >> joining me now congressman chris van hollen a democrat from maryland. you voted with speaker boner and leader pelosi to keep the nsa program going. but, you know, you've probably seen these numbers our new msnbc news "wall street journal" poll showing 56% of americans are now worried these programs may go too far. if you look back at the numbers in 2006 that's up more than 10 percentage points. how then do you here, congressman defend these programs to your cons

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

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

still a majority of americans also believe that the nsa programs are necessary to keep americans safe and see a loss of privacy as the inevitable cost of living in the 21st century. as frank ridge argues in new york magazine, the overwhelming majority of the public is, quote, begging for its privacy to be invaded and god willing to be exposed in every gory detail before the largest audience possible. joining me now from rio de janeiro is columnist for the guardian, glenn greenwald. glen, thanks so much for joining us. i want to get right to the news of today, which is snowden has told the russian lawyer who's advising him, i will fulfill president putin's condition. as someone who has been in touch with snowden, is it your understanding that snowden is agreeing to no further leaks or is he simply maintaining his belief that the leaks are not harming national security? >> i think it's both. he said from the beginning that the condition that he not harm the united states was a very easy one for him to fulfill because nothing he's done has harmed the united states. quite the contrary, it

michele bachmann, eloquent champion of the obama nsa programs. hope this get shown on msnbc tonight. what glen is talking about, of course, is that michele bachmann voted with the majority on this, which say she voted with what is the obama position. >> well, i think in the case of michele bachmann, i think she's trying to look at where -- she's leaving the house. where is she going to get speaking fees and what not in the future? she may very well have a deeply grounded view that says whatever the nsa does is fine, but i think it's out of step with where many republicans, as you just said, and many democrats, frankly are in looking at the case of, you know, yesterday, ron widen at the center for american progress gave one of the most amazing speeches i have heard on the subject yet, where he said basically a secret interpretation of a law, interpreting, a secret provision by a secret court sets up sort of a secret surveillance system, and said this is not consistent with democracy, and this is big brother, and we need to stop it. the fact that m

valley companies have continuously said they only do the bare minimum the law requires to work with the nsa. this shows constant collaboration and collusion on the part of microsoft to build systems to allow all sorts of access to skype, outlook, these cloud systems way beyond what the law requires. the idea that they need a warrant in each individual case is untrue. they only need a warrant when they're targeting american citizens. not when they're -- >> right. >> -- scooping up communications including ones involving

he was saying was true, he had to take ones that included sensitive, detailed blueprints of how the nsa does what they do. and so, he's in possession of literally thousands of documents that contain very specific blueprints that would allow somebody who read them to know exactly how the nsa does what it does, which would, in turn, allow them to evade that surveillance or replicate it. >> greenwald has insisted snowden insist the details not be made public. the fugitive has been stuck at moscow's airport since june 23rd, without a passport. on friday, he said he would meet vladimir putin's condition that he was stop leaking documents in exchange for asylum. >>> a 6-year-old boy remains in critical condition, after being pulled from an 11-foot sand hole. he was buried for about 4 1/2 hours friday night. according to newly-released 911 calls, nathan's father and a family friend tried hand-digging him out before rescuers and heavy equipment arrived. >> my friend's son, he got stuck in a sand dune and he's under the sand dune and he can't get him out. >> okay. can anybody see him? or is he c

because of reports that nsa leaker edward snowden had been smuggled onboard when the plane left moscow. that story is coming up. >>> also tonight, right now it is is quite simply one of the largest protests in all of human history. what we are witnessing in egypt is a very delicate situation, on the verge of total chaos. we'll go live to cairo for the very latest. >>> plus, super awesome helicopters. they're super awesome and they're super expensive and for some crazy reason, they're jammed into the immigration bill in one of the craziest pork stories i've seen in ages. >>> but we begin tonight on this. the 49then anniversary of lyndon b. johnson signing the civil rights act into law. bill moyers wrote on that night, july 2nd, 1964, he found lbj who just signed one of the most monumental and morally elevated pieces of legislation in this country's history in, a quote, melancholy movement. when lawyers asked him what was troubling him, the president said "i think we just delivered the south to the republican party for a long time to come." 49 years later that prediction looks spot-on in

the nsa leaker is stuck in a transit area. joining us to discuss snowden's predicament and the civil liberties debate he has foster, we have rebecca sinder brand. and bill snyder. bill, a lot of people thinks that snowden's leaks about nsa surveillance was a good thing in terms of sparking a debate about civil liberties but that his subsequent leaks detailing u.s. espionage efforts and his flight from justice have hurt the cause take everything net net. what's your take? >> my take is that the story is now about him. it's about where he is, what's going to become of him, the fact that he con sorted with countries like russia, china, sought refuge in venezuela, he can wa dord, bolivia. those have all over shadowed what he thought he was doing. it's now really a manhunt. >> a manhunt, 20 countries as we were noting here. when we look at that number, rebecca, he has to go through a legal labyrinth. each and every country has a different process in terms of the way that you might apply for asylum. can he be doing this alone? is he

he worked for the nsa. at one point he did work for the cia, couple years back. it's kind of unclear exactly how he got into that job and what he did under that job. but if he, working as a infrastructure analyst in hawaii, and also, it's unclear exactly what he did. he might have been a much more sophisticated -- >> i thought analyst was a euphemism for a guy who could hack into systems. >> it might be a guy trying it hack into other systems. in that position, if he had access to cia officers around the world, that would be a real breakdown in sort of internal security control. >> by us. >> by us. no doubt russians and chinese and anybody else who comes into contact with him are going to want to see what is on his computers. and i assume in the last nine days, he has gone to bed at some point. >> if mother jones was a country, would you let him in? if it was a country, would you let him in? >> we're not quite at that stage yet. >> that's a trick question. i want to know your mind-set. yesterday wikileaks, who sponsors this guy, released a statement on snowden's

we have geet somethiot somethin here with the nsa. this is a brotherhood that goes beyond ideology. >> we talk about what happens next, if snowden ends up in a country like cuba or venezuela where there are a number of questionable acts and he remains silent -- then, you should go to iceland. because they at least have a consistent rule on a lot of these subjects and it wouldn't be incumbent upon him to actually do something about press freedoms or human rights abuses or transparency. >> i mean if he takes one of these offers, i don't see him becoming a freedom fighter for the human rights of venezuelans or -- i don't see him going to cuba. but i don't expect that to happen. is that hypocrisy? to some degree. >> how is that not totally -- >> it's hypocrisy. but clearly at this point his options are limbed. i'm not defending him but i don't see him -- i don't see any consistent demanded here that he then becomes this great freedom fighter. i just don't see that happening. when you're the guest of foreign government and you don't have o

they have had a a lot of interesting fights this year including last week's nsa amendment. a number of similar kinds of fights over there. unclear whether he or paul ryan or anybody there can deliver all of these votes. we do know something that immigration reform proponents need to grapple with the house is going to make an already huge border surge even surgier. it's more emphasis on law enforcement and fences and drones than what we saw with the senate which is a bill john mccain says we are building a new berlin wall, hooray. we are get to a point where they will say how much am i willing to hold my nose and vote for. >> we are out of time. let me ask you real quickly because we have done sort of a gut check across this year and last year as well. what do you give the chances that something gets done? >> 20%. no higher. >> wow. any more optimistic than that, molly? >> i don't make prediction but that sounds about right to me. >> wow. molly bald and matt welch, a story we will continue to follow. thank you for coming in today. >>> in the meantime, one side is calling it

they filibuster against the use of drones, fighting the nsa, they want no part of the war in syria or revolution in egypt. their weaponry lies with a strict reading of the constitution, no the a loose international notion or interpretation of national security. that will split in the republican party isn't sitting well with chris christie, is the republican rising star from new jersey. he took aim at rand paul in speaking at the republican governor's forum just yesterday. >> this strain of libertarianism that's going through both parties right now and making big headlines i think is a very dangerous thought. >> senator rand paul, for example. >> you can name any number of people and he's one of them. i mean these esoteric intellectual debates, i want them to come to new jersey and sit across from the widows and the orphans and have that conversation. and they won't. because that's a much tougher conversation to have. >> well, paul, that's the senator from kentucky, fought back today saying on twitter that "christie worries about the dangers of freedom. i worry about the danger of losi

the former nsa contractor is facing new hurdles in his quest for asylum. russia, as you likely saw, insisted snowden would have to stop leaking information before they would consider his asylum request so snowden pulled the request. now according to wikileaks, snowden has requested asylum in 20 countries, but many of them have already said no, thanks. nbc's jim maceda is joining me now from moscow. jim, give us a better understanding of where this stands right now for edward snowden. he's been in there for approaching ten days inside the terminal behind you. what happens now? >> well, those 20 countries, ten of them are european, scandinavian nations. which at first glance doesn't make a lot of sense because those of these are nato countries, they have extradition treaties with the u.s. unless -- unless snowden is thinking -- don't want to assume that i understand that -- that even u.s. allies, like germany an france and italy might be willing to give him asylum after that bombshell leak regarding the u.s. bugging of eu officials and buildings and the ange

the nsa chief made a last minute visit to capitol hill yesterday to try and lobby lawmakers not to block the domestic spying program. for the first time, virginia's governor bob mcdonald is apologizing over his family's cozy relationship with the head after nutritional supplement company. mcdonald has repaid $120,000 in loans and in a statement he said, quote, i want you to know that i broke no laws and that i am committed to regaining your sacred trust and confidence. i hope today's action is another step toward that end. father and son presidents george h.w. bush and george w. bush will screen a new movie "the butler." apparently in kennebunkport maine. cecil butler served eight presidents. this guy is the viral sensation today. we talk about him standing behind the divider during the anthony weiner press conference. he is dubbed "cubicle guy"! he is jeff mckinney, a reporter at wor. turns out he was late to the press conference. oh, yeah, he was! but he had no idea that efficient going viral! there you are. clients trade and invest their own way. with scottrade's smart text, i can qui

>> i voted in favor of keeping the nsa program. i think we're going to review it and change it probably, but this would have ended it. you're talking about we've stopped over 50 attacks. every member in both parties who served on the intelligence committee voted in favor of this. my friend tom coburn, who serves on it now, delivered a spirited defense of this program. i'm going to go with the people that actually know the program and looked at it. but, look, i actually applaud the people that brought up the other concerns because this is a big debate. this is the classic debate in america between liberty and security. we ought to have it. we ought to constantly have it. look, we've seen no abuses with this program. it's interesting to me that, after all of snowden's commentary, he didn't show us any abuses. nobody's come forward. that doesn't mean none have occurred, and that doesn't mean we shouldn't have some safeguards, but shutting it off completely, that invites an attack, and it's not responsible. >> congressman, a final ques
