Summary

Americans love privacy. There is bipartisan support for requiring a warrant to query any information on Americans swept up in this surveillance program. Why are Republicans allowed to squander that once again? And why aren’t conservatives pressuring Trump to drop his support for Johnson on this issue, as well as Ukraine funding? Later on, we’re joined by Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio), one of the pioneers in the fight for privacy, who is trying to force a vote banning the government from purchasing our data from third-party vendors. He explains how the 702 program has proven to be abused and is much broader than people realize. We have a government that openly lets in thousands of dangerous Middle Eastern terrorists and violent Latin American gangs, and then they turn around and demand we authorize domestic spying under the guise of national security. This is anarcho-tyranny at its best.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
