*****************************
Stephanopoulos: OMG
Anthony Weiner's
campaign manager quit!
Zeleny: Nany Pelosi said
he should get
a clue just because he
said can't stop
sending strange women
pictures
of his reproductive organs
Stephanopoulos: wow
Zeleny: it's all quite
bizarre
Stephanopoulos: welcome
Glenn Greenwald
Greenwald: hi George
Stephanopoulos: could Ed
Snowden
really wiretap anyone?
Greenwald: low-level
private contractors
have access to trillions
of phone calls
Stephanopoulos: good lord
Greenwald: also all your
e-mails and
your browsing history
Stephanopoulos: criminy
Greenwald: there may be
legal limits but
nothing to stop low-level
employees
from listening to anyone's
phone calls
Stephanopoulos: is there
any evidence
that NSA employees have
abused this
Greenwald: sure there is –
plus no one
knows what they are really
doing
Stephanopoulos: where is
Ed Snowden now?
Greenwald: he's somewhere
in Russia
and happy to be out of the
spotlight
Stephanopoulos: I'm sure –
thanks for coming Glenn
[ break ]
Chambliss: Saxby can
low-level NSA
employees really listen in
on your phone calls?
Chambliss: I was just at
the NSA headquarters
and they assured me that
they can't monitor
e-mails or phone calls
Stephanopoulos: well that
settles that question
Chambliss: yep – I was
convinced
Stephanopoulos: Dick what
about the vote
in the House to stop
metadata collection?
Durbin: it was a close
vote and
we're going to get more
oversight
Stephanopoulos: do you
support limits?
Durbin: absolutely – we
should stop
all this data collection
and completely
reform the FISA court too
Chambliss: look we have
plenty of oversight
now and we should never
invade anyone's
privacy ever but also if
had the metadata
collection program in 2001
we
would have prevented 9/11
and
saved thousands of lives
Stephanopoulos: what's
going on in Egypt?
Durbin: we have to make it
clear to
Egypt what is unacceptable
for us
in their country
Chambliss: we need to stay
our of their
country but also make it
clear what
we will and will not
tolerate in their country
Stephanopoulos: thanks for
coming guys
[ break ]
Stephanopoulos: is
Congress going
to insist on shutting down
the government?
Lew: it would be nice if
the Congress didn't
actively threaten the U.S.
economy
Stephanopoulos:
interesting concept
Lew: last time there was a
debt
ceiling fight it did great
damage
Stephanopoulos: so will we
go through
it all over again?
Lew: we need to work
together to create jobs
Stephanopoulos: but both
sides are dug in
Lew: we need to break the
logjam in Congress
Stephanopoulos: how do yo
do that?
Lew: try to find some
reasonable
people in elective office
Stephanopoulos: good luck
with that
Lew: look we learned in
2011 threatening
not to raise the debt
ceiling is a terrible idea
Stephanopoulos: but the
President has to negotiate
Lew: even agreeing to
negotiate over
whether to pay America's
debts sends
a bad message and Obama
won't do it
Stephanopoulos: who is
going to
be the next Fed Chair?
Lew: that's a secret
Steph: you're not
seriously considering
Larry Summers are you?
Lew: um maybe
Stephanopoulos: will Obama
bail out Detroit?
Lew: no
Stephanopoulos: thanks for
coming Jack
[ break ]
Stephanopoulos: isn't the
recovery weak
because of GOP threats
over the debt ceiling?
Will: Obama's recovery
from the Bush
recession is not as good
as George Bush's
economic peak or Reagan's
recovery
Van Den Heuvel: the GOP
keeps
sabatoging the economy
Noonan: the American
people just
reelected Obama which
proves
how much they hate him
Rattner: Congress is doing nothing!
