LIVE STREAM: Rand Paul speaks at UC Berkeley, US Intel ‘Drunk with Power’

Sen. Rand Paul will wade into far left territory today as he speaks on the campus of UC Berkeley at 3:30 PT/6:30 ET. He is expected to go beyond criticisms of the NSA–expanding into questioning the whole structure of U.S. intelligence gathering. Here’s a quote leaked to Politico. LIVE VIDEO below.

If the CIA is spying on Congress, who exactly can or will stop them? I look into the eyes of senators and I think I see real fear. Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I think I perceive FEAR of an intelligence community drunk with power, unrepentant, and uninclined to relinquish power.

The New York Times also has a sneak peak at the text of the speech.

“Martin Luther King was spied upon, civil rights leaders were spied upon, Muhammad Ali was spied upon, antiwar protesters were spied upon,” he said. “The possibility for abuse in this is incredible. So I don’t care if there’s never been any evidence of abuse with the N.S.A., they should not be collecting the data.”
