| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of Best of the Left Podcast. Today we have clips |
| 0:13.2 | from the BBC, Rachel Maddow, Keith Oberman, Real Time with Bill Mark, Sam Cedar, and the Young Turks. |
| 0:21.0 | So on this day Harry Reid decides to screw the Democrats. Oh my friend, Senator Reid, you |
| 0:37.3 | picked the wrong day because I'm coming. I'm coming for you. So yesterday we explained |
| 0:43.9 | this to you. There's two versions of the Pfizer bill. This is the warrantless wiretapping, |
| 0:48.6 | right? Pfizer bill, by the way, you read the thing. It's so perfectly reasonable. Says you |
| 0:56.6 | want to go in wiretapped to live and crap out of the rest of the world. Have at it. Go nuts. |
| 1:01.8 | I don't give a damn about Pakistani or Canadian or Australian rights. They don't have any rights |

| 1:31.6 | go and listen all you don't like. And if you want the corporations like AT&T and Verizon |

| 1:47.0 | I did it in good faith. I mean, they're covered at a Z. It's the softest law in the history |
| 1:52.8 | of the world. But Bush found the violate, found a way to violate even that law. That wasn't |
| 1:59.3 | soft enough for him. That didn't trample upon liberties, liberties enough for him. So |
| 2:04.0 | he said, no, I want a wiretapped Americans without a court order. And I want AT&T and |
| 2:09.3 | Verizon to help me. So now we've gone through all the different machinations and there's |
