Oliver conducted the interview on his new HBO show “Last Week Tonight,” a weekly news wrap-up show structured similarly to “The Daily Show,” and managed to tweak the former NSA director over the agency’s spy programs.
Oliver began the segment by asking Alexander whether he had any regrets from his time at the NSA and whether the former NSA director believed the agency had a perception problem.
“Absolutely,” Alexander responded.
Alexander then explained that the negative perception was that the American people believed they were having their information collected, but “the reality is the target is not the American people.”

“It would certainly be the attack on our facility in Benghazi, and the loss of two State Department personnel and two CIA contractors from the terrorist attack and the terrible consequences of that,” Mrs. Clinton said when asked about her biggest regret, United Press International reported.
Mrs. Clinton also said the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. compound in Libya that left four Americans dead — including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens — is a constant source of pain for her, UPI said.

BILL MAHER: One last issue because we were talking about the Supreme Court, and a retired Supreme Court Justice made some big news this week. John Paul Stevens, remember him on the Court? He talked about the Second Amendment and it’s interesting because this week, Georgia passed this guns everywhere law. And Stevens said something that really warmed my heart because this is what I have been saying. Which is Democrats have to separate themselves in big way from the position in the Republican party, which they don’t.
In fact, the Democrat in Georgia, who is Jimmy Carter’s grandson agreed with the governor who signed the guns everywhere bill, and this is the problem with the Democrats. In many issues, but especially on this one. It’s like, we love guns too. How can you not? You look at a gun, it’s like a puppy or a baby, you just got to love it.
So, John Paul Stevens suggested adding five words to the Second Amendment. So it would read: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms — here are the five words — when serving in the militia shall not be infringed.
This is original intent of the Second Amendment. It was about militias, not about militias.

Honestly, unless you are a big government liberal, how many people think the federal government should have more power than it already exercises over its citizens?
Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, 94, thinks the Constitution needs at least six amendments in order to bring the country more in line with what he believes is good for us. He outlines them in his new book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution. It is a revealing look into liberal thinking and the ideological opposite of radio talk show host Mark Levin’s book, The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic. More about that in a moment.
Stevens elaborated on his book in an interview with USA Today.
One of his priorities would be to change the Second Amendment. As he writes in his book, “[T]he Second Amendment, which was adopted to protect the states from federal interference with their power to ensure that their militias were ‘well-regulated,’ has given federal judges the ultimate power to determine the validity of state regulations of both civilian and militia-related uses of arms. That anomalous result can be avoided by adding five words to the text of the Second Amendment to make it unambiguously conform to the original intent of its draftsmen. As so amended, it would read:
‘A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms WHEN SERVING IN THE MILITIA shall not be infringed.'”

Give the man his due. He may be a low-rent McCarthyite for whom no smear is too cheap. He may be an awful majority leader whose imperious tactics have hopelessly alienated the minority party. He may be dirty, having built a curiously large fortune despite working in government his entire adult life.
But he sure can troll.
“I used to live in North Las Vegas and it is home to some of the hardest-working people I have ever met – men and women who embody the American dream by working hard every day to build a better life for themselves and their families. By contrast, Cliven Bundy has spent decades profiting off government land while refusing to pay the same fair use fees as his fellow ranchers. Today, Bundy revealed himself to be a hateful racist. But by denigrating people who work hard and play by the rules while he mooches off public land he also revealed himself to be a hypocrite.
“To advance his extreme, hateful views, Bundy has endangered the lives of innocent women and children. This is not a game. It is the height of irresponsibility for any individual or entity in a position of power or influence to glorify or romanticize such a dangerous individual, and anyone who has done so should come to their senses and immediately condemn Bundy. For their part, national Republican leaders could help show a united front against this kind of hateful, dangerous extremism by publicly condemning Bundy.

t’s the story du jour and Hannity’s take is probably the most eagerly awaited in media given how much airtime he’s devoted to the BLM standoff lately, so here you go — a sneak preview of his (presumptive) opening segment on tonight’s Fox News program at 10 p.m. An hour later, the guy he’s been feuding with over this goes on the air on Comedy Central. I wonder if Hannity will come up in his opening segment.
WaPo, incidentally, has posted more context from Bundy’s comments. A taste:
In video of the entire speech, which was obtained first by the Washington Post and shot by someone who describes himself as a Bundy supporter, Bundy said that he “hardly ever” saw a black person until he was almost a teenager and also noted that he is surrounded today by white faces.
“Where is our colored brother? Where is our Mexican brother? Where is our Chinese — where are they?” Bundy said. “They’re just as much American as we are, and they’re not with us. If they’re not with us, they’re going to be against us.”

No, I Don’t Care if Cliven Bundy Is a Racist
By Kira Davis.
Why would anyone even ask Mr.Bundy to comment on such things? As if what Cliven Bundy thinks about the state of the “Negro” in America has any bearing on property rights, or the fact that the federal government has sent S.W.A.T. teams to collect a million dollar tax bill. Even famous “Negro” Wesley Snipes was politely led off to federal prison for a tax evasion of well over 2 million dollars.

There are a lot of people out there that do not want black people to vote, do not want Latinos to vote. Do not want old people to vote, or young people to vote. Because generally, people like you are liberal.
Never ever in the history of the United States has it been so important to vote….

Police were called after Edward Hart ran away from the Hillside Learning and Behavior Center in Allegan and school officials were unable to bring him back.
“He’s ran away from the school before,” Hart’s stepfather, Robert Bluhm, told Fox 17. “And he’s made it to M- 40 before. But he’s never made it as far as he did this time.”
When Hart was apprehended, he “cursed at and assaulted the officer” and then “broke the police camera in the back of the car.”
