these programs this top secret pfizer quarter you concerned that other courts might be unwilling to do something here saying hey look a court already taken this up despite the fact that it was a top secret court what business do we have to do anything about it. well the fact of the matter is the government has taken action in contravention of the constitution and we don't see any problem with a court here in new york city which has person jurisdiction over us and the defendants adjudicating our constitutional claims in fact on monday there was a hearing in washington d.c. and the government conceded that there was no problem with a plaintiff that could show standing making these kinds of claims in federal court in a regular district court and i would not seek a review of the order and for that matter it's impossible to seek review of the order because third party can intervene in the us so it was entirely appropriate for us to be there and we don't expect that to be a major hurdle we have just just about a minute left here we see movement on capitol hill to do something about the n.

supporter touted the legislation known as the pfizer improvements act saying she believes the reforms in the bill are quote prudent responsible and meaningful but critics of the bill say it falls well short of meaningful reform and they say that it actually gives the n.s.a. more legal protections to conduct its bulk collection of communication records under section two fifteen of the patriot act edward snowden's leaks revealed a secret reinterpretation of section six to fifteen the patriot act by the n.s.a. and the pies a court that gave the n.s.a. enormous power to collect americans phone records to find sign bill will remove this program from murky legal grounds and officially codified into law the electronic frontier foundation called the bill disingenuous saying don't be fooled the bill codifies some of the n.s.a.'s worst practices would be a huge setback for everyone's privacy and it would permanently entrenched them says collection of every phone record held by u.s. telecoms this is not an n.s.a. reform bill it's an n.s.a. entrenchment bill. and senator mark udall who's been cri

her bill is the pfizer improvements act and it's not really reform that has some cosmetic changes to the n.s.a. but it actually codified is the n.s.a.'s bulk collection programs that occasionally target americans those most controversial of the n.s.a. spying activities so there's two roads here one paved with actual reform the other paved with fake reform fake reform and a lot and a lot of money research by the group map light exposes an enormous campaign contribution gap between the two senators pushing and as a reform senator leahy and senator feinstein senator feinstein has received three times as much campaign cash from intelligence contractors like general dynamics and northrop government then senator leahy has. of course that might explain her efforts to help the n.s.a. caught by its illegal surveillance and her reform bill joining me now to talk more about the should be political dealings behind n.s.a. reform is lisa graves attorney executive director of the center for media and democracy. so let's start by asking a question which likely doesn't even need to be asked do you th

proponent of the current legislation a former justice department intelligence official commended the pfizer court calling it a national treasure take a listen in many ways i would say and i was standing much of what has been written in the press the french record is a national treasure it has done its job. and exemplary fashion during wartime but along with the support came some vocal resistance to current n.s.a. policies specifically from those who are representing large tech companies. my client work has given me a unique view into the position of providers and service providers who receive demands under fire and it's helped me see two aspects of the process which i believe are inconsistent with the core principles of our legal system first the overbroad cloak of secrecy that applies to everything pfizer related and the lack of a true adversarial process now keep in mind that this is an oversight board that was established back in two thousand and seven to ensure that the privacy and civil liberties of americans were appropriately considered and the implementation of all laws and policies

pfizer the maker of lipitor -- rallied to $31.87 cents yesterday. investors gave a warm welcome to a discount hotel chain in its ipo. extended stay popped 19% on its first day of trading to close at 23.87. the company rents rooms out by the week or month. guests on average stay 26 days. textbook rental company chegg fell in its open. it dropped 23% on day one, closing at 9.68.and it was a disappointing first day. the company sometimes called the "netflix of textbooks", priced the stock at the high-end of its i-p-o range. the ipo tied to the value and performance of nfl running back arian foster-- has been postponed. the football player was injured in the texan's - colts game and will undergo back surgery that will sideline him for the season. fantex hoped to debut its first ipo for foster later this month. ipo hopes are now on 49-ers tight end vernon davis, who suffered a concussion in a game last sunday. we wish the best for both players. still to come: will traders hit the clearance racks following nordstrom's earnings. why a new film about wall s

there are two pfizer authorities highlighted in the press. the business records -- fisa authorities highlighted in the press. the business records act to collect metadata, but no content. let me be clear. under 215, the nsa cannot listen to anyone's phone calls. 215 allows the government to connect the dots. these dots should have and could have been connected to prevent 9-11. havethis tool, we could determined that one of the hijackers was in san diego and made a call to a known al qaeda number in yemen. i shudder to think what connections would be missed if the program were completely eliminated. the nsa uses these records to fight crime and keep drugs out of our country. make it easynt to to keep terrorists and criminals in our country. allows theauthority government to collect content of e-mail and phone calls of people located outside the united states. theauthorities allowed united states to get information about terrorism. this authority inhibits the targeting of american citizens or u.s. permanent residence without a court order no ma

jim will confirm there's a lot of push back from the legal and pfizer's and oipr and there is a lot of push back between oipr and the agency's progress if they present junk we lose confidence that it will be more difficult unless they are straight up. but the legal advisers and not infrequently i would come in and have x number of cases on my doctorate -- that number grew substantially than they would say these are off the rocket in other words, would not be formally presented to me for review because of the interaction between the legal divisor's and a the oipr attorneys and agencies to call them directly with questions and problems. that was a core part of the job to rigorously vetting the applications. one of the things that should be considered is the instances in which an application is submitted for review by legal advisor but never presented to a fisc judge for consideration those should be registered registered, recorded, publis hed. because i think is in a large percentage? no. but fairly regular cases, of stock it. >> or maybe they come off completely or postponed another wee

complex we're told that these programs have about oversight coming from congress and coming from the pfizer court how can we believe any of this stuff when when these oversight committees are basically giving the n.s.a.'s. huge favor well there's two different questions and one is what kind of oversight do we have in place and the second question is what are the programs that are being overseen and if the programs that are being overseen give the n.s.a. too much leeway to collect information about americans without any reason to suspect that there is any kind of connection to an international terrorist or a foreign power then you can have all the oversight in the world and if it that oversight finds that the program is operating as intended the program still isn't operating in a way that's consistent with americans liberty if we make of lawmakers like jim sensenbrenner saying hey when i wrote the patriot act i never anticipated that section two fifteen would be interpreted the way that it was interpreted is that a is that a legitimate claim or should they share the blame for all passing the

and this includes the pfizer request that we may receive. we were disappointed that the justice department refused and in june we filed a motion before the foreign intelligence surveillance court's serving a first amendment right to publish this type of information and reported as falling within some broad range. this would be a significant step backward rather than promote transparency and this would actually obscure important information about all types of government demands that google may receive and not just national security demands. as i mentioned temerity disclose disclosed domestic law enforcement demands and have done so since 2000 and. publishing future reports where we could only release this type of information in ranges rather than actual numbers to provide less transparency than we have now. and indeed, google would continue to acknowledge this the range that we are able to report in and we would also lose the benefit of providing information about national security letters. and this includes the transparency surveillance act

today which is almost as far on the spectrum from the 1968 act as you can imagine, with the current pfizer authorities. we are just about at the point of unbounded technique. we will talk about the cases on the briefing and some of the arguments put forward by the solicitor general. no argument with bob about the extraordinary internal oversight mechanisms that have been established at the agency, or for the fact that he is accountable to congressional oversight committees. so much of this is unaccountable. up to the last couple of months, people like me have been following this for 25 years, knew virtually nothing about it. this is not what congress intended when it originally considered the question of how we allow these electronic surveillance in the u.s. just to first clarify something i said earlier, my argument is not so much that these authorities have been intentionally abused up until now, although i think there is evidence they have been. my argument is that you have to take into account not just the possibility, but the certainty that they will be intentionally abused at some po

liz: so you say merck and pfizer did really well. the losers, and we can put these up, ibm, alcoa -- these guys have been in the business a long time, and they've been global for a long time. why are they stumbling here? you say the tire sector, from everybody from michelin, cooper tire, i'm assuming because of the commodities? i don't know. you explain to me. >> well, let's start with the ibms and the alcoa withs. i think there's a fundamental difference. at ibm they've done one-way business a long time, they've just made the decision so far not to manage it to the level they probably could. and i think they'll end up getting there. alcoa, they have, in my opinion, a faulty assumption that their commodities are offset by their currency. i think that's a long-term trend. if you look over five years, you may be able to make that argument, but quarter over quarter it's hurting them, it's continued to hurt them. you and i have talked about them before. you've had the ceo in there. they need to really think about this also on a quarterly

reforms to ther pfizer protections. oversight andase accountability and ensure that american rights under the fourth amendment are protected. the reporting provisions in these bills guarantee that we have an accurate understanding of the scope of these information collection .ctivities it is time we started adding more sunshine in this space. , is your support a direct result of a formerly collection process or do you think disclosures are inherently beneficial and should be sought out? >> i think the answer to that is that aggregate disclosures are a good thing provided they don't compromise our ability to collect important information. i think in a situation we are in , the director of national intelligence has already declassified certain programs and how they operate, it is entirely appropriate to have aggregate disclosures of these activities going forward. for other important intelligence activities, i am not sure we have reached the same balance, but to the extent we are talking about these particular disclosures
