irs agents "going rogue," this is the case of irs getting orders to go after republican or republican-leaning groups, but the question is, who gave those orders, and how high up did they go. for now obama administration says they are inappropriate. you know thing are bad when mainstream media is not buying it, that tells me between benghazi and this, the white house has the makings of a mess. self-motivated, and now self-detonated, we look at far reaching implication of this. of what it says about whether irs can be trusted. to whether the add mone adminiss stressing on consititutional law. to market fallout if this gets worse could and legal battles to come. now let's say, a scandal ripe for investigation, and republicans not wasting a

moment, promising more than a few of their own, with me republican congressman from pennsylvania mike kelly, who serves on house ways, and means committee, how bad do you think it gets? >> well you know, we don't know how bad. but this is a pandora's box, as it gets more revealing we're seeing an administration that almost has blind ambition, we talk about things before. but when you look at irs, and you are given the directives, and you know it is wrong, and do you it this was revealed in 2011 we're. this is something that shakes the faith that we have in our government, and trust we have. you don't want to mess with that foundation, this administration has done, that again, i say, like blind ambition, it does not matter what it takes we're going to get it done, but this is so chilling, something that

american people, this is not a republican agenda or american agenda this is say -- >> mainstream media still by and large covers for president and white house, but i think will change a lot of that indicating that justice department had been targeting a number of ap phone reporters collecting of their phone records, called in and out of their offices. and to find out when they were getting when it wws -- process of gathering news on top stories, now, that cuts to their core, and i think gets their attention, what do you think? >> absolutely. you know old story, it depends who whose bull is getting gored. it was all right before, i do not accept it for one minute. american public should not, what is scarier mainstream media has stood back and watched this

happen, thank goodness for fox, and benghazi this irs, escapade this is so chilling. this goes far deeper than i think anyone would have expected now this group who thought of themselves as sacred cows they find out they are being looked at different. people are becoming more alert, and finding out maybe emperor has no clothes, it is our duty in congress, this is an obligation, we have to the american people, to get to the gm of bottom of this i agree there is not an agency that strikes fear in hearts of too many more americans than the i irs. 70,000 something pages, they are targeting groups, they targeted it them on purpose. somebody did not push the wrong button, this was an effort to go about after these folks, now

just the question comes, not just conservative groups we're seeing others come forward, i hope other people are emboldened to come forward, do what they know to be right. right. neil: it cuts the mainstream media to the core, when their phone records and logs and coverage of government matters, we ask the question now, that we asked congressmen, did barack obama have his own enemies list? the shear mention in media years ago that richard nixon kept tabs on those who did not like them, innighted a media -- ignited a media theory, but not so much today. whether irs or looking at conservative group or justice department, targeting ap reporters. something is foul here,

gretchen, is a privacy advocate. we have tea party katrina pearson. gretchen let's talk about how big it is, the al reporting is just the latest news, talking. a lot of pressure put on folks, who might not take kindly to that. and don't. >> right now you have the president, who has a major crisis happening, everything from benghazi to irs, now associated press, he has a credibility problem that is erupting, this abusive power cannot become status quo. this reinforces reason why we need the watch dog organizations, they were targets groups with government or government spending or wants to make america's better place, they targeted these people, this reinforces a need for those groups. neil: katrina, this latest development, on ap reporters,

nothing, nothing getting reporters in mainstream media attention like going after me too! we could deal can be right wing groups. and tea party, and deal with you lying about any of the above, but when you go after us, that is a whole another matter, could it be a turning point? >> we have always discussed this in beginning of tea party movement, media will issue will become a target. they are power over everything, i have been on your show several times trying to warn the american people what is going on with this obama administration, how many scandals does it take, to let american people know our country is headed down a very dangerous path. neil: this does call into question, who and what you can believe. not a great defense.

the other is, old chicago politics style of keeping your enemies on watch. that is where it gets scary, no? >> right now i think there will be a big breach in this tha trut that we have with the government, government does not have a great approval rating to begin work congress with barely any approval. you will see, president obama's numbers probably go down because of this you will see the trust in government we should have, we should be able to trust our government, and to do them to 2 the right thing, you are going to have a lot of americans questioning that, as this story evolves i think we'll learn more and i think you will see this become a real issue to be play into 2014 election. neil: katrina, do you think this extends like watergate, a drip, drip of information. i remember those hearings

started argument was this is a left wing cabal. the same said inverse now. but when thissi extendingive degree it has. targeting reporters is much bigger is it not? >> well, absolutely, much bigger, but interesting thing, i brought our irs return from the dallas tapper tar tea party datk 2012, we still do not have our status, but interesting is the timing, leaked out friday on the cusp of this benghazi discussion, is there another conspiracy to cover-up the cover-up? who knows what is going on, it is very important we do not refocus on the shiny object in the room, but make sure that the benghazi investigation is fully investigated. neil: thank you, very much. white house having trouble getting a handle on the

scandals, they don't end with benghazi and irs, and ap reporters, the president's health care fix is broken, and now may could breaking the law. breaking out another housing fix? listen up, you will be paying for it. my goal was to take an idea and make it happen. i'm janet long and i formed my toffee company through legalzoom. ver really thought i would make mon doing what i love. robert ] we created legalzoom to help people start their business and launch their dreams. go to legalzoom.com today and make your business dream a reality. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side.

neil: out of dough, panhandling for more. so far h&r block, and robin wood foundation are jumping to donate. they are wondering if it is legal, former mississippi governor barber said, does not pass the mell test, what do you make of this? >> well, we have a law called antideficiency act that says if an administration tries to raise private money to pay for a government activity, that congress has refused to

appropriate the money for, that is a violation of the law. because the power to a prepiate a okay appropriate money rests with congress. you may remember iran contra was about this matter whether north was getting private money to support policy that congress refused to support. i'm a recovery lawyer. i don't want to alike -- >> you raise a good point, media was all a pickle over that. not so much jumping on this, yet. but, it does call in to question the timing of this. now, we're going to have a statement i think from health and human services saying, effectively, we have always worked with outside groups, and efforts ramping up or one more part of work, there is a special

second that allows secretary to support and to encourage others to support nonprofit working to provide health information. ing iin other words nothing illl is going on, what say you? >> we cannot just the justice department to investigate this, i think you will see a serious investigation by congress. and i am not going to rejudge it. kathleen sebelius has the write trightto be presumed innocent ul proven otherwise but there must be a serious investigation, i guarantee there will be, here is an act that monkeyed with rules to get it passed not a vote to spare in senate. and now we have this that looks s bad, smelling bad, feels bad, there ought to be and will be, a

intense investigation about this. and but i do think it is important. i thought senattr alexander who broke the story was prudence to not say this is a crime. he said it may be a violation. i think that is position we ought to take. neil: between this, and the irs, allegations, of going after groups, that not friendly to the administration, and separate story where justice department might have targeted a number of ap reporters, i'm not saying nixonian by proportions but it is harkening back to watergate-like. if even's fraction of this is true. >> well at least in nixon administration, using word patriotic did not put you on the enemy's list. you were here, in obama administration if you use the word patriot you are suspect. you are under suspicion of being

subversive. president today rightly came out said this was terrible, i hope we'll learn more about what actually happened. but i hope that is going to be the administration's true feelings about this because, this is really scarey to the average american, that your government, sics the irs on you because you are the political enemy. neil: irs will have a pivotal role in this health care. >> the enforcer is the irs, they have hired thousands of new agents to enforce this. but i will tell you, the rule of law is essential to american

exceptionalism, and american people, do not like the irs being used for political purposes. by republicans or democrats. nixon was accused of it. the republicans were upset about it too. neil: you are right about that. governor, always a pleasure thank you. >> thank you, neil. neil: well, when states say no to jobs folks need, we drill down to see if the state politicians making theseanyou decisions just need to go. by clinging to the past. and with that: you're history. instead of looking behind... delta is looking beyond. 80 thousand of us investg billions... in everything from the best experiences below... to the finest comforts above. we're not simply saluting history... we're making it.

neil: well forget keystone this will get you fracking fuming. i had to practice that washington putting kibosh on new drilling in california, epa, aaong others need more time to assess the matter. while in illinois they are blocking fracking will state

politicians assess the impact. any time people tell you they are assessing, i woulded to tell my parents i'm assessing my grade, they know you don't have a clue. impact now is no jobs, that is one thing this economy needs. that is being delayed more. >> it is, and it is sad, if is happening in -- it is happening in new york with governor welcomcuomo,up state new york hl gas resources, that is better than the paying jobs, pennsylvania a hundred thousand jobs due to fracking. and natural gas. neil: would there be more than that if all of lands were opened up or drilling were allowed and fracking? >> sure. and there have been over a million wells fracked over the last 60 years, how many reported actual incidents are there a

darn few. neil: obama administration argument and environmentalists ists argument is all you need one bad like bp gulf spill, you say. >> like saying some people get killed in automobile crashes, you ought to ban automobiles. neil: don't throw logic back at me. >> the fact there will be an oh, occasional incident in any industrial process is the way it is. i make the analogy to cars, why would you ban cars just because someone has a correct up? you know another thing that happened when you have tough political decisions like this, say you are a left wing politician. >> me? neil: let's say you could argue assessing gives you time to cover both sides, keystone comes to mind, have not made a decision, you are placating your environmentalist groups that don't want you to bend on this and at the same time, you are

trying to keep your union friends happy by saying, hey we might make a decision to your like figure you hang in there. we're trying to find a way around it. >> delaying the decision is making a decision. every day that we don't have more fracking, we import more oil, more natural gas from countries that are not our friends, every day that happens, we don't have the jobs we would have had. every day that it happens, we don't have the geopolitical that we would have if we were more energy self-sufficient. every day, you holding back chemical industry, plastics industry, fertilizer industry. neil: i don't know whether you have heard obama administration does not flip overall of those above. >> i blip over it. neil: do you think that is the problem? democrats particularly in senate want to avoid to anything to

help oil industry or natural gas industrior frackers, the bottom line is they might provide jobs they are not the kind of jobs these guys like, which are greens, and batteries and solar. >> let's talk about the green, sometimes i think that greenies think electricity lives in the wall of your house. and all it needs is a plug in order to liberate it. you have to combust something to make electricity. wind and solar are intermitt intermittent they can never be the base power load, leave aside the fact they are wildlly expensive. people would go with natural gas, with a base load, replacing coal, no question it is less pollutive than coal, and use renewables for when they are

available, that is a reason ale way to glend down the cost -- reasonable way to broaden down thblend down thecost but keep t. neil: just your thoughts on the scandals in administration right now with benghazi, and irs, and ap reporters, what is going on? >> well, i'm glad on one hand to say they are not just picking to wall street they are being more universal. neil: fair and balanced if you will. >> in picking on. but notion that word patriot is a code word for being a subversive is news to me. that is a really scary thing to have the idea that enemy's list. neil: yeah. and we should say, just wilbur's point what triggered a lot of irs stuff, any group with name patriot in the name is originally how it started, it is weird, wilbur ross thank you

>> my housing plan has already helped more than 2 million people refinance their mortgages. neil: he is the president he should take credit for housing %-taking blame if it were awful,

but he says rescues and mortgage rewrites are a big reason why and he's more to keep going, does that beg the credibility thing? to robert wolf on whether it makes sense. >> thank you, i think we should allow these people to refinance. if they are playing by the rules, even if there are mortgage is underwater. because, it is good for the country. >> a frack of them -- a fraction of them make good on it, it pushes them further to same old condition. >> they are on the balance sheet right now, credit risk is already there for fannie and freddie, the chances of these being paid off because interest rates will be at a lower level is higher percentage then paid identify at higher level. -- paid identify at off at a h.

neil: a lot are in reworks, they end up in being just as bad position, but numbers show 7 out of 10 of are not, maybe it is time to cut this, period. because it is just pro lodging the agony? >> those are two different questions one is refinancing, i think if you are current on refinancing you should get benefit of what fed has been doing on lower mortgages, it does not help with an ease monetary policy, and these people, okay would help the direct economy do better, they are not really helping. neil: you can understand why general americans who have been keeping up say, how is he getting the benefit and i'm not. i'm not getting this same benefit. >> they should get the benefit, they are not underwater, for example is someone buys a new home they get benefit of low rate. if someone is in their home, but

just loan is under mortgage but they are current. why should we not give them a benefit of a lower rate. neil: what if they are not? >> that is different. if they are not current, game over, then -- >> think you could work magic, venue woul,you would say this i. >> at.where you are underwater and not current we need to start foreclosing these homes. >> switching gears. we were talking about scandals developing. between spying on al reporters with justice different, and irs going after the groups, a lot of stuff bubbling, what do you make of it? >> irs thing, i only know what i am reading, it seems any independent agency singles out any group is outrageous. neil: do you see any logic?

>> i don't know enough, okay, but it seems to be that you know, the irs may have kind of crossed the line on this one. okay. if you are singling out a group, unless of a sudden we saw huge increases of tax credits for certain types of groups they look at that, this is understandable. maybe. >> who would make that call? there is a well the we don't know. is that something that could be a rogue irs agent, or higher up? by that i'm saying like way richard nixon had an enemy's list, i would call into a lot of things. >> i think have you millions of people very looked at on their taxes at junior levels before this pyramid would begin, my guess someone saw, you know a group that started taking tax credits. i would hope that it stayed at a lower level. neil: do you think there is a

bigger credibility issue. maybe think that a lot of president supporters had is not real image it has been? >> i don't put -- i believe that president made a come today equally saying that this cannot be taken on anyway that this gets done. i think he would agree that independent agents have to kind of keep -- >> when head of irs says, more than a few months ago this was not going on either he is a liar or stupid. >> we'll find out one way or another how this came about, with respect to ap thing, i just read it, i don't understand you know, what is give someone the right to do this wiretapping and surveillance one way or the other, it has been happening for over a decade. so you know i think we need too figure out the facts here as well, my guess in coming days we will.

neil: i have chatted with you a number of times over the years, one thing you said, the economy, is improving. getting better. i'm thinking in light of these potential scandals it might be the saving grace for president, nothing like environment 40 years ago this month and summer with watergate hearing. and an environment that was economically atrocious, good economy saved bill clinton, and reagan through iran contra, you make an argument if this good economy continues it could weather any problem for the president. >> certainly we're all glad tha@ the economy is doing well. we would like to see theic toke ic -- economy do better. we're not ringing the bell saying this is amazing but employment numbers are good, north of 175ish. neil: still 7.95% unmen unemplo.

>> still too high. i am close to the president, i don't think these things touch him. >> you mention that. do you trust him? s. yes. neil: could you see him saying, directly or not, get the justice department on these guys? could you envision any of those nixonion qualities on this guy. >> no. neil: okay, robert, thank you. >> samsung blues for apple? when we come back.

neil: apple better be close to a turn around, a tax that is giving beer makers the run around. tie young, and todd welcome.

just getting worse for apple's tim cook, samsung poised to over take apple as most profitable phone maker this is a matter of time, what do you make of the event of making more money on them than apple? >> well, samsung has done a great job, a bunch of new products be one has a bigger screen than iphone. they have done a great job, competition is good for industry. but as they get over taken by samsung, apple will come out with a new iphone, like an iphone 6 for example, i will be out there buying it. this is a horse race it should be fun to watch. neil: todd? >> i agree, competition is great, choices that samsung has on their android handset beating apple by and large, apple has

fallen with old ford model-t trap, you can get any color on your model-t has long as it is black. neil: like that one. game makers are getting into your home investing into games on go, todd said that is why all entertainment is going, mobile, this would appear to vi end -- vin i didcality that deal. >> that is the way of the future mobile application if anyone has friends with young children, you know once you get in the car you hand them the phone, and you have your kid entertain the whole time. most young people today have moved away from land base internet at their home, from cable, and all -- their mobile devices on their hand-held androids, you can watch tv on

it, and plug in a wireless speakers and a project or that projects on to a small screen. you don't need internet at your home or phone at your home or cable as long as you have a mobile phone. neil: that too could be short-lived, ty? >> it is natural progression, we went from the pc to the laptop to the tablet then smartphone, then a gaming standpoint from pong on tv to pc to laptop to tablet now to the smartphone, this is a natural progression, downloads of digital content is the wave of the future, i think they are going the right direction. neil: and the craft beer makers, that want to get you blitzed, they are getting hammered. now 18 senators are looking to slash a tax on beer produced by

so-called micro breweries, ty, saw a brouhaha ovee taxes, is or is not worth it. >> i'm in favor of any kind of tax cut. and if they could throw in repeal of regulation on the way, what i'm not in favor is favoritism in tax code, what about tv business? what about health care business? how about energy, oil and gas. if they have a fairer, simple lower corporate tax rate, and throw in regulation repeal, we would have an explosion of employment that is shot in the arm that our economy needs, if we need to start with micro breweries find with me. neil: start of something you could extend across board. i don't envision that, todd. >> i don't either. >> i'm for craft beers, i am for. neil: drinking them or letting them prosper. >> yes, and yes. ben franklin, beer is proof that

god exists and loves us. i agree, if it is good enough for a craft beer company it is good enough for all. funny thing nobody talks about you want income tax rate, and policy rates to below enough, but you raise moment amount of revenue. neil: all right. >> that is key on taxes. neil: that is the key, the goal, the dream. >> they came, they met, they quit? let's say churchill-roosevelt, these guys are not. the boys used double miles from their capital one venture card to fly home for the big family reunion. you must be garth's father? hello. mother. mother! traveling is easy with the venture card becase you can fly airline anytime.

neil: well forget about budding scandals here, did the president and british prime minister just bail on dealing with far more pressing problems? an opportunity lost today that had nothing to do with irs or benghazi or spying on al ap reporters you argue they pass the baton on it. >> a term that a lot of people in europe are willing to talk about. we heard about that last couple years bthe sentiment that changed. a lot of people thinking way out of a mess in europe is spending not cuts, and look at numbers, something needs to be done. neil: the fact that it was not on the agenda. they seem to be of the view, we didn't do aggressive cutting in united states we're doing okay,

you, should cool it on that, do do what we do because then you will look better? >> it may be one side of the argument. but we need to keep in mind what brought europe to this position is spending out of control. the way of spending more than they did earn in past, did get them to the point where they are, last double years the growth has not been there european commission came up with numbers revising growth rate down. it is not work, you may be correct. neil: off th as terty. >> and we saw problem in portugal, prime minister dealing with unions trying to cut labor force that is not going well, sentiment is turning the other way. french did get the benefit of extending another year their gdp debt ratio.

neil: i look at them, we talked about it before. we look good-bye comparison, i -- we look good, by comparison because we're just taller dwarfs, is that only thing saving u.s. is we don't stink as much as they do? >> we look good compared to europe, they do have problem, they have for some time. u.s. looks better if tha for tht reason but there is a lot good things happening. neil: what if the euro goes away. that just a matter of time. is that reality they are facing it. >> politicians do call the shots, they are elected for a certain period of time, sometime it makes more sense to kick the can down the road. the view is more kick the can to

-- is that. that. neil: that will wh produce more violence? >> we will see what happens in germany, merkel is facing reelection -- >> what if they are repudiated? >> then more to go down path away from austerity to fiscal spending. neil: would the euro be in danger then? >> whenever way you slice it ite euro is in danger. >> you but scandals here, taking the eye off the ball? >> there are to a certain degree, but issues for europe are still there. >> all right nick thank you very much and nick marcola. people forget there is a world going on or not going on over there. meanwhile, don't look now, time

currency it says go god we trust, the word is trust. once you eradicate trust that american people have and business owners have with our federal government, everything stops, maybe make deferred decisions. they don't make decisions they need to run their business properly this is damaging. people should think long and hard about the things that are government is doing. neil: they are not sure how far that extends. and everything else. it does sort of bubble? >> we just had a blip up in consumer confidence, finally. we seemed that we were getting and budget deficits, oh, my god everyone can relax, get the economy go. then we have that wet blanket all over.

depending how deep and ugly it -ets it will abfe affect the consumer. making a decision. and it could have a negative effect. neil: malia, i think every time you have a potential of a scandal. economic backdrop has a lot to say whether the scandals do that president in. i think. bill clinton of saved in large part becauseethe economy everything doing so well. this president might be saved. by comparison it is doing better than it was. richard nixon was not so fortunate. >> i think you bring up a good point with looking at nixon and lousy economy. that probably had a lot to do with the lousy economy. i don't think that scandal in washington affects our markets that much, if it did, i am sure

we would not be as well off as we are, scandals in washington have been happening since washington, it is important we remember that what creates strong economies are jobs and government working with citizens to build its economy. >> what if people question that government, and the trust -- that trust factor? what if people begin to question that. >> i think that country showed in 2008, that it wanted a new government, it didn't have trust for its current government. way americans have been feeling about their government has been down in the dumbs for a while, i think it may have been bush win in 2000. neil: there you go. it took you three minutes to get to president bush. >> i think the way we feel about our government, our government should be taken more ssriously, it is,a shame how okay they are with our lack of trust for them.
