one of the things that is interesting to me, the contrast between what happened with senator ron wyden and edward snowden. ron wyden was a member of the senate intelligence committee for several years before edward snowden started leaking. he took to the floor the senate as said, there's something shocking going on that if the american people knew about it, that would be totally shocked, but i cannot tell you about it because it is less of five. he is a sitting senator who believed something was deeply wrong but he was afraid to talk about. -- because it is classified. after edward snowden began to leak the into ron wyden oh public and say that is what i was talking all-powerful -- talking about. the checks and balances in my mind are questionable. >> back to your book where you talk about contractors. who is mike esemos? >> he was a fascinating character. the guy, maybe the most intriguing figure of the whole post-9/11 world. i'm still not entirely sure what to make of him today. >> where does he live? >> i am not sure. >> have you talked about -- have you talk to him? >> not recently

and in the greatest attractor is senator ron wyden of oregon, who was also on the intelligence committee. jule brenner, a former nsa inspector general and highly respected commentator and analyst. jamil jaffer is a leading aclu lawyer. these people are all very impressive. they disagree fundamentally about many things but it is hard not to respect each of them when you listen to them. what they say the nsa and its practices are still needed? they think a lot of the practices are unconstitutional or dangerous or bad for our privacy or not helpful to national security. jule brenner and senator feinstein would disagree on all of those points. host: as far as your conversation with them -- when you take a look at specific programs what did you talk about and what are the concerns he -- what are the concerns? leaked aowden has hundred programs at least. the ones that generated the most controversy is the metadata program, where the nsa has been secretly collecting the phone records of basically all americans all the time. it turns out not quite all. they are missing the cell phone records. th

senator ron wyden. thank you so much and congratulations. you are an advocate of tax reform. but there is no way you can do a comprehensive reform this year. >> the challenge will be a two step drill. we had about 50 of what are called tax extenders. these are measures like research and development and energy that expired. my hope is we can get them reenacted promptly. so we do not sacrifice important investments. and then use them as a bridge toward comprehensive reform. >> you mention the rnd and renewable issue. are there other extenders that should be killed? >> my first choice would be to go to comprehensive tax reform rather than have to proceed with the extenders. the reality is, when the house leadership last november declared that obamacare was their primary issue, that changed the timetable. i'm not going to sacrifice critical issues like research and development on the altar of some actions. >> can you do that this year? >> it would be a big lift. a comprehensive reform package this year. but we can make headway. >> and can you do pieces of it? >> my view is the ta

much to the anger of ron wyden, who says he is going to fight to get it back in. that was one thing that i think marcie mentioned. it deserves to be emphasized. there are a lot of things that were meant originally to be in this bill that are not there anymore. the way the aclu, which is tentatively supporting the bill, i think they might eventually withdraw their support. they refer to the bill as authorizing "bulky collection" instead of bulk collection. that should show you what it does. before snowden, they were doing ps" when they were collecting people's records. three degrees of separation from a target. this allows two hops and allows them to keep those records. two hops is potentially the records of hundreds of thousands of people. everywe are not getting single verizon customer anymore. you are still getting a lot of people. , by anycy saidm colloquial use of the term, that is "bulk." if legislators would prefer you not to refer to it that way. >> in the spirit of conversation, i would like to open for questions. we have time for just one or two. and spea

wyden, senator ron wyden, asked for public comments from physician groups and physician organizations and anybody on this topic of data, kind of transparency, writ large. he was looking at this topic for a number of reasons. and the american college of physicians a long with a number of other physician organizations, sent very detailed, i think, thoughtful letters that all said probably, just to gloss over similar things. transparency is good. we know that. but huge caveats around how this data is interpreted by public is something that many physicians, especially given what charlie had pointed out with some of the media headlines, that had really been threatened by. so, i'm going to just kind of speak to that because i had a number of conversation after some of the newspaper and radio and other media headlines went live around, i would say, the outlier reporting charges of millions of dollars and trying to understand who these doctors are and why they have millions of doctors of medicare charges, it made a lot of physicians really nervous with how people would view their own kind of
