Episode notes
Surveillance Powers Can Be Weaponized

- He argues those powers were used to label political opponents as 'terrorists' and persecute them nationwide.
Demand Consistent Defense From Officials
- Kelly urges Republican elected officials to defend all citizens' rights, not only when they themselves are targeted.
- He criticizes them for waiting until phones were tapped to call for impeachment and oversight.
