he is satisfied and john brennan's confirmation process is moving forward. >> some republicans blasted him for the filibuster. >> that's right. john mccain and lindsay graham took to the floor earlier today and said they did not approve of the filibuster. half of the republican caucus of the course of the afternoon and evening joined him on the floor asking him questions, but mccain said it wasn't serious. to the realm of the ridiculous. >> there you had mccain and graham ripping rand paul, but the top senators in terms of republicans and democrats seemed to respect rand paul for his stamina and his strong conviction. >> shepard: i simply do not get it. like there was question about whether if the government just decided to kill one of, maybe they could got to wait for an answer, this is what we spent 4 hours on? getting an answer to whether the government can really just kill us with some bird in the air? they can't too anything in that town if that is a question in america today, we're done. i mean, who thinks that is possible? you good to prison for that. that's what you do. you sho

. >> brown: john brennan was confirmed as the c.i.a.'s next director 63-34 after a drama- filled 24 hours. it began yesterday when republican senator rand paul of kentucky launched a filibuster. he demanded a firm answer on whether drone aircraft might ever target american citizens inside the united states. attorney general eric holder had sent paul a letter saying that however unlikely, in extraordinary circumstances, it might happen. >> no one will ever forget jane fonda swiveling around in north vietnamese armored guns, and it was despicable. it is one thing if you want to try her for treason, but are you going to just drop a drone hellfire missile on jane fonda? are you going to drop a drone hellfire missile on those at kent state? >> brown: several other republicans and one democrat, ron wyden, joined paul. and minority leader mitch mcconnell offered his support last night after the filibuster ended and again this morning. >> and the administration should just answer the question. there's no reason we cannot get this question answer

all to stall john brennan from the cia. we were hoping he would have stopped by now because he was supposed to be our guest from capitol hill tonight. that's where he was supposed to be standing. see how lonely it is? senator paul, we hope you're going to wrap this up soon. at the least, i would like to know how you went all day without using the restroom. sounds like senator paul is also hoping to wrap it up and join our shot. >> i can be done anytime if i could just get a response from the administration or from the attorney general saying that they do not believe they have the authority to kill noncombatants in america. the reason it has to be answered is because our foreign drone strike program does kill noncombatants. they may argue they're conspireing or may some day be combatants, but if that's the same standard you're going to use in the united states, it's a far different country than i know about. >> "outfront" tonight, tommy vitter and mike riggs. great to have both of you with us. tommy, let me start with you. w

drone strikes in pakistan or yemen since early january, specifically because john brennan's been busy, because he was nominated to run the cia in early january. so he's essentially been too busy since then to keep droning the heck out of yemen and pakistan. well, if drone strikes rise and fall with how busy john brennan is, if he gets confirmed as cia director the day after tomorrow, should we expect the drone pace to then pick back up? maybe or maybe not. last week, former white house press secretary robert gibbs said something on this show that i don't think got enough attention. he said, he thinks that john brennan believes when it comes to drone strikes that they should be handled by the military and not by the super secretive cia. >> i think what john believes is, when we need to deal with any aspect of military activities, those military activities should be conducted by the pentagon. and i think that, again, is a change in the program, because, again, john understands where we are is just not sustainable. >> that's a big deal. if it is true that the new cia director doesn't thi

briefly remind us about john brennan's experience. clearly someone well known at the agency he'll head. >> john brennan spent 25 years at the c.i.a. they was station chief in riyadh in saudi arabia. he actually set up the national counterterrorism center and then for four years he been basically at president obama's right hand overseeing counterterrorism and in that role he's overseen the expansion of the drone strikes in pakistan in yemen, and in somalia. so he's perhaps one of -- he's certainly one of the government's most experienced counterterrorism hands. brown brown niels, what was playing out today especially with senators mccain and graham upbraiding rd paul? >> what happened after last night we noticed senator mccain and senator graham were not among those joining in the effort on the senate floor in support of senator paul during his almost 13-hour filibuster. and what they were really -- today they were really protesting against even the context of the question that senator paul sought and eventually received an answer to f

to filibuster john brennan's nominee to be the next cia director. the republican said he will hold up the nomination until he gets more information about the u.s. drone program. this despite the answers provided by attorney general eric holder earlier today. congresswoman maxine waters will have reaction to the breaking news and her thoughts on the filibuster taking place. we do not see this every day. also coming up, thousands continue to line the streets in venezuela. the body of hugo chavez is carried through the parade. some are asking why are so many americans praising chavez, including former president jimmy carter and michael moore? we are learning more about the president's dinner that is happening tonight with key republicans. will breaking bread help break washington's stalemate? we will be joined by maxine waters of california and get her thoughts on the breaking news we are following involving rand paul. chances are, you're not made of money, so don't overpay for motorcycle insurance. geico, see how much you could save. when i first felt

lawmakers have a long objected to john brennan's nomination there's various reasons before even getting to the drone program he's considered to have played a major role in the cia's enhanced interrogation program under george w. bush and he's also known as the top cheerleader for america's controversial drone program now that program has been criticized as having a huge lack of transparency last year brought in argued for the legality the morality in the effectiveness of america's drone program and publicly had to acknowledge the cia the cia joan attacks have been taking place in pakistan yemen somalia libya afghanistan and elsewhere now on wednesday senator rand paul spent nearly thirteen hours on the senate floor filibustering brennan's nomination in pursuit of more information about the obama administration's domestic drone policy now confirmation of brennan as cia director that vote came after the obama administration specified limits on the presidential authority to order drone strikes against american citizens in the u.s. senator paul said he was satisfied with the statement that

senator hall was protesting the nomination of john brennan for cia director. the larger point he was trying to make is about his belief that it is unconstitutional to use drones against american citizens. >> to be bombed in your sleep? there's nothing constitutional about that. he said trust him. he says he doesn't intend to do so but he might. mr. president that's just not good enough. >> senator paul made frequent trips to a deck on the floor that is full of candy for fuel and was joined by at least a dozen other senators in his effort including democrats. not all republi with this man. >> we are not fighting a crime we are fighting a war. i don't think he believes we are at war. i believe we are at war and i believe al qaeda is trying to recruit american citizens as i speak. >> just a few wieks aeeks ago president obama tried to answer questions about his drone policy. clearly didn't do enough for senator paul. >> we respect and have a whole bunch of safeguards in terms of how we conduct counter-terrorism operations outside of the united states. the rules o

and accordingly, john brennan today got a 12-3 vote out of that committee, which means his nomination to run the cia goes to the senate floor and he'll probably get confirmed to run the agency by the end of the week. and lest there be any doubt about the connection between john brennan's nomination and our government killing people with drones, in "the new york times" today, in a crazy story where three u.s. officials say that the last reported drone strikes in pakistan were not by us, the most interesting, unresolved question, of course, is, well, who did them if it wasn't us? but the other revelation is that some analysts in this field believe there have not been any u.s. drone strikes in pakistan or yemen since early january, specifically because john brennan's been busy, because he was nominated to run the cia in early january. so he's essentially been too busy since then to keep droning the heck out of yemen and pakistan. well, if drone strikes rise and fall with how busy john brennan is, if he gets confirmed as cia director the day after tomorrow, should we expect the drone pace

john brennan will do the same. by its nature, the c.i.a. is among the parts of our government that receive the least oversight. this is important. its it's are largely shielded from the public, the government, the government accountability office, and, indeed, most members of congress. the director of the c.i.a. must be both unimpeachable in his or hopefully one day her integrity. while guiding a work force of people who operate in the shadows for the benefit of our nation. he must manage an independent and creative work force, build and mature relationships with foreign spy chiefs, and lead teams of scientists, technicians, lawyers, analysts, and operatives who are involved in clandestine work. in short, the c.i.a. is capable of the very best of america and catastrophically at times it is capable of great mistakes. it follows that the position of c.i.a. director requires an uncommon nominee and that position shouldn't remain vacant for long. for the past five months, the deputy director, michael morrell, as served as the acting director. m

until we get answers, john brennan does not belong near langley. and joining me analyst, juan williams and chairman of the faith freedom coalition ralph reed. >> sean: good to see you. >> good to be with you, sean. >> sean: this is madness, they can't say, yes, no, they contradict themselves. give an answer. >> i think the answer should be no. >> sean: should be, but it's not. >> the thing is if an airplane and by the way senator graham has said this, if an airplane is headed toward the world trade center again and we have the ability to knock that plane out of the sky. >> sean: we have to do it. >> that's what we're talking about because the congress has authorized the president, president bush to go after and kill terrorists. >> sean: that's the not what the essence of rand paul's question and the fact that they left the door, then tried to qualify, well, we don't imagine, we don't intend, that's very ambiguous language. ralph reed, what do you think? >> well, what's happened here, sean, is real simple. a president who ran saying he was going to

brennan's nomination for the cia. i will speak until i can those no longer speak i will speak as long as it takes until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast there are constitution is important. time and breath of my throat already drawn i just got started. you know sitting out a sidewalk cafe smoking a smoke cigarettes anymore let's say they're sitting in a cafe if the president is not going to kill him why we just say he's not going to kill him there. if we're fighting a war in afghanistan which we have been and if their soldiers around the bend that are a threat to our soldiers there is no due process at that point but that's not what we're arguing about we're arguing about targeted strikes of people not involved in combat that's my concern that. we one should plan on coming to morrow we're through for the night. at this without using the floor i'd like to entertain a question from senator from pennsylvania. which had previously brought a challenge in federal court to the legality of the authorization to target

and lest there be any doubt about the connection between john brennan's nomination and our government killing people with drones, in "the new york times" today, in a crazy story where three u.s. officials say that the last reported drone strikes in pakistan were not by us, the most interesting, unresolved question, of course, is, well, who did them if it wasn't us? but the other revelation is that some analysts in this field believe there have not been any u.s. drone strikes in pakistan or yemen since early january, specifically because john brennan's been busy, because he was nominated to run the cia in early january. so he's essentially been too busy since then to keep droning the heck out of yemen and pakistan. well, if drone strikes rise and fall with how busy john brennan is, if he gets confirmed as cia director the day after tomorrow, should we expect the drone pace to then pick back up? maybe or maybe not. last week, former white house press secretary robert gibbs said something on this show that i don't think got enough attention. he said, he thinks that john brennan believes

brennan and what it means. and. his power was the envy of ambrose. he had good reason to trust no one. his body was found on the floor of his huge empty house. but did he die of natural causes. the mystery of stalin's death on a hot seat. to some people extreme cold isn't a chilling threat to life or imminent death it's a cooling if you look you can see that the water in the rates in my body feels really warm now and this is good for you. they plunge into icy water to make themselves stronger you can't get used to the cold if you can tolerate it and you can struggle with. people of snow and ice picks as a frost. so i mean the cold turkey. so kentucky senator rand paul made headlines today for giving the ninth longest speech in the history of the senate for his epic filibuster of john brennan the number one spot is held by democratic senator strom thurmond who filibustered for over twenty four hours straight against the civil rights act of nine hundred fifty seven but the whole speech was actually for a good rea

senator paul seeking to slow, if not stop the confirmation of john brennan as director of the cia. the senator wants president obama's assurance that is the administration will not support the targeted use of drones to kill american citizens on american soil. senator paul accusing the president of shredding the constitution. >> i rise today to begin to filibuster john brennan's nomination for the cia. i will speak until i can no longer speak. i will speak as long as it takes until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast. the constitution is important. your rights to trial by jury are precious. no american should be killed by at drone on american soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court. lou: the senator took up four at 11:47 a.m., three minutes but -- 13 mets before noon in response to a letter from attorney-general eric holder. in that letter to holders and the administration will not rule out the possibility of those strikes against american citizens on u.s. soil. holders lette read, it is possible, i suppose to imagine an

after that 13-hour holdup, john brennan did finally get his vote in senate today. he is the new c.i.a. director. the vote was 63-34. this certainly has gotten a lot of attention. people weighing in on it. some people you wouldn't think would be a fan of rand paul, celebrating what he did. what is your take? >> eric: we can get to the substance of the fill buster in a minute. really important. he woke up the american people. i think what you saw was a changing of the guard. you heard this all day. i do think you see ted cruz, senator from texas. marco rubio from florida. and rand paul from kentucky. that is the new guard. old guard is mccain, lindsey graham, mitch mcconnell. i got to say, guys, when you look at it, the republicans, conservatives who would you rather have going forward representing you? the new young bucks -- they got it going on. by the way, for the record, mr. mccain after all this came out and said he thought rand paul was wrong for doing what he did. scratching my head all day why don't you embrace the young guys instead of continueed infighting?

[laughter] real quick off the top, today john brennan was supposed to have his nomination to run the c.i.a. on firmed in the senate. sort of a nonevent after the recent confirp -- confirmation drama -- what the who? it was a nonevent until the -- >> i rise today to filibuster the nomination to the c.i.a. >> jon: looks like we got us a good old fashion talkie filibuster, the kind our grandparents tried to tell us about but never got to because we were too busy playing jacks and tiddly winks with our friends waiting for our chance to freebase in the shed. ah, the 70s or 50s or whatever time frame i apoo peer to be. rand paul has sent a letter to attorney general eric holder asking just a simple question: can the president use a drone to take out an american citizen on u.s. soil? you would think he would get a letter back like, no, way! holder writes him back a letter that never directingly addressing the question kind of, sort of implied hypothetically in the right -- yes, we can do that probably won't but yes. senator rand paul to draw attention to the issue of the execution of execut

where rand paul is holding up the nomination for john brennan to be next director of the c.i.a. he is demanding answers from president obama on the drone program. here is the senator earlier today explaining the filibuster. >> i arrived today to begin to filibuster john brennan's nomination for the c.i.a. i will speak until i can no longer speak. it will speak as long as it takes until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast. the constitution is important. no american should be killed by a drone on american soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being bound to be guilty by a court. >> also earlier, attorney general eric holder was asked about the controversial program. >> does the constitution allow u.s. citizen on u.s. soil who doesn't pose a serious threat to be killed by the u.s. government? >> i do not believe that again, you have have all the facts. the facts you have given me, hypothetical, i would not think in that situation use of a drone or lethal force is appropriate. >> general holder i have to tell you. it find it remarkable that in that hypoth

and john brennan refused to deny categorically on drones killing u.s. citizen on u.s. soil and the attorney general's position on this, why? >> first of all, it goes back several months and at the same time when chairman leahy and i wrote a letter for the justification for the use of drones to kill american citizens overseas. now, of course, the justification was given at that time you could, we still don't have the documents or the legal basis for it, we're still trying to get that, but now they've -- they've assumed that you could possibly do that within the united states. so, you can-- without a trial, without an arrest, without any charges just decide for some reason or other, this person should be executed by drone. now, you heard senator cruz say that he was going to introduce a bill that would deny that power to the president so then i followed up and asked general holder if he thought that that bill would be unconstitutional and he said, yes, under the second amendment or second article of the constitution, that would be unconstitutional in his

as he and other senators filibustered the nomination of john brennan to head the cia. just before yield the floor, he talked about his efforts to get answers from the administration about the legality of the drone strikes. >> mr. president, i am hopeful we are drawn attention to this issue, this issue won't fade away, that president will, that the president will tomorrow come up with a response. i would like nothing more than to facilitate the voting and the continuation of the debate tomorrow. i hope the president will respond to us. we have tried repeatedly throughout the day and we'll see what the outcome of that is. i would like to thank my staff for being here for a long day, for their help. i'd like to thank fellow senators for being supportive of this cause. i would like to thank the members of congress who came over to support this cause. the clerks, the capitol police, the staff of the senate, the doorkeepers that apparently may have gotten in trouble. anybody else who came to support us, even the senate, even the senior senator from illinois, for better for w
