On Tuesday evening, as the Senate voted on the USA Freedom Act, Shepherd Smith hosted a fiery interview with Josh Earnest.
“How’s the president — and how do you, for that matter — feel about being lockstep with the Bush administration and the leadership in the House and Senate, and the Republicans?” Shepherd asked.
“Well, Shep,” Earnest replied, “what the president has supported for more than a year and a half are important reforms to these programs that would put in place civil liberties protections for the American people.”
“What civil liberties protections?” Smith demanded. “How?”
“Our Chief Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano says there is no difference, there’s a semantics difference,” Smith insisted. “The records are now being held by the phone companies but of course the NSA would have computers in there. The NSA would have access.”
“Well, Shep, obviously the administration strongly disagrees with what Mr. Napolitano had to say.”
