neil: what the hell is going on? the nsa is tapping our phones and verizon is letting them or dleghting our phone records, and verizon, again, is letting them? forget about whether we are losing criminal. the more stuff like this happens, you know, we could be losing our country. weird, just weird. riddle me this. how can you tell if your phone is tapped? you can't. they are so good at it you wouldn't have the vaguest clue they are doing it, same goes for what is more likely the case here, someone getting your phone records. if verizon hands them over to the government, how would you know? well, you wouldn't. it's already happened. i bet you didn't know, did you? whether they are just listening
8:01 pm
in or having a phone company cough them up, it doesn't either get a little med up here? does me. the latest reports that the nsa got verizon to serve up phone records on millions of people, millions, has me wondering not who is spied and, but think about how big it is getting and how big the lies are getting to explain how big it's getting. we went from the irs targeting what it first said were a few conservative groups to then dozens, and then hundreds. it was over the course of the year, and it was not just conservative groups, but donors to the groups whose names were leaked to the press by unname rogue agents to discover there were more than a couple agents, more like at least 88 of them doing stuff like this. there's the stuff at the justice department, going after what we
8:02 pm
were told were a few reporters and their records and on and on. the attorney general had no idea. then, oh, yeah, he had an idea. well, news he orchestrated the entire idea. they hit up private companies to promote the law only to discover it was more than just a few companies. you can't make it up. it just keeps going up and up and up making me wonder how high up? if it's not coordinated, it looks like a pattern politically targeting bureaucrats using the full weight and power of government to spy on people and make it against the constitution that protects us, people. we don't have to be less than right to know this is wrong and private companies doing your bidding? scary to think richard nixon got in football -- for an enemy's list number in the hundreds, and these go after
8:03 pm
groups, phone records and individuals that number, what, in the millions? for the love of god, where does it stop? we're past the time where we have to scream together, stop. i didn't shout it. a guy shouting it before nip else, ron paul, said this is the risk problem with big government. congressman, what do you think of the now littest revelations? >> well, i don't think they are brand new. i assume this has been going on, you know, in 2006, it was announced they were doing p. neil: absolutely. we have to stress this part of the patriot act that allowed this to be done was something senator obama posed, but go ahead. >> caller: oh, yeah. of course, there were a few back in the beginning of the decade, last decade, and we trieded to point this out, but, no, i think it's been ongoing so it's great when news brraks so people find out about it and get annoyed about it, but the only benefit i
8:04 pm
see that comes from this is that people get disgusted with big government. of course, you know that's been my goal to convince people they don't need big government to run a nanny state to take care of us because they give us perfect economic safety and security in equity and always perfect safety, but they only do that with the destruction of liberty. neil: urn the guys that protect you. in other words, the phone records they gathered, 110 million plus americans, it was just the phone records, maybe precaution coming as it did in april of this year after the boston bombings that maybe there's a threat these records could be destroyed so we want them handy, no one's calls monitored, the numbers of who you calledded, when you called, and how long you were on the call, so that's it. calm down, america. >> caller: yeah, and, you know, even now after this story breaks, i still hear commentators on tv and radio say, well, we want to be safe, and that's the government's job. the government's job is not
8:05 pm
that. neil: you watching msnbc again, congressman? >> caller: maybe it was on the interpret. i won't fess up. neil: you're right. we do a lot of whacky things. what do we do now? >> caller: well, what we have to do is get the american people, again, to believe in self-reliance, limited government, believe in the constitution, get an understanding of what the fourth amendment says and get people with backbone. it's coming because what we're witnesses now is the failure of the state, the failure of the government, the failure of the fed, the economic system is in shambles, our foreign policy in shambles, and this always leads to the undermining of civil liberties in war for perpetual peace with the sacrifice of personal liberty. it's a death struggle for the republic, and hopefully -- neil: to be fair, you were on this before anyone, but tell you
8:06 pm
what, when the defense or those willingly on unknowingly perpetrated this, that speaks to your big government too unwieldy to deal with. >> caller: oh, i know where the contest is, but where i was encouraged, you know, i ran in 2008 and 2012, and in 2008, i condemned the patriot agent. it would get the loudest applause on college campuses. a even like berkeley, so i work unr on the assumption you don't have to convert, 51% of the people, you need leadership that lead the way and get people to come along in the right direction. mostly, people are following leadership, but they are taught bad economics, bad foreign policy, they are complacent, materialistic thinking wealth lasts forever, the fed takes care of us, debt works, and printing money solves the problems. that's ending. neil: absolutely. >> caller: i'm delighted to
8:07 pm
see this because with this along with the irs, let me tell you, there's a lot of people coming our way on being rather annoyed by this intrusive government. neil: i admire your backbone then and really now. dead on target. thank you. >> caller: thank you. neil: is it me, but as a verizon customer, should i be ticked or furious that they now have my records and my phone calls to all the duncan donuts? do i sue in legal eagle says, go ahead, but i guess i'd have a tough time; right? >> until that evidence that the phone records are used against you. it's called standing. you can't go into court unless you are hurt or damaged, and say, your honor, because the government took my phone records, this is what happened to me. neil: is there a difference? we still -- this was done under court order, we'll told.
8:08 pm
what if it was not and what if a company, after boston, went down in boston, you're trying to go get a data base, get a government, and cross reference it and find a network of potential bad guys, so you're verizon; right? do you need a court order to give it over because it's a national security issue and national security threat? >> well, the national security, they are creating their own subpoena under the patriot agent. neil: you remember the fact they had legal action that took here to get the records? >> i don't know -- i don't think they had to go to a judge. neil: in other words, they walk up to verizon, hand it over. >> under the patriot act. it was a knee jerk -- neil: i read the heelth care law, don't put too much on me. >> if you read the patriot act, a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and i'm not saying it was not necessary then, but the way it excisions now, you can get a federal subpoena, and you're not allowed to -- as an individual,
8:09 pm
you can't tell anyone about it, -t's a secret other than from your lawyer. neil: that's the protection alone that you as a customer, and, by the way, verizon was one, but there could be others. >> this will be challenged when this evidence is used somehow against someone to hurt someone in some way, shape, or form. right now, i can't just, tomorrow, go in and file a lawsuit. i'm a verizon customer. neil: i don't know who is telling the truth here because if they said here, you know, started out with few groups targeted, and no individuals, and a lot of individuals, and now the phone records, take a chill pill. >> it's been going on for a long time. they'll kkeel all right, who is to say, what's to say they don't have and have not expanded their wiretapping campaign? i don't believe nip. >> it's fundamental fourth amendment principles; right? it's 200 years ago. you -- it's privacy to protect the innocent, that's what the fourth amendment is for, to protect the innocent.
8:10 pm
the way they act by the all of the phones in the news room of the associated press, by all of the people who are applying for nonprofit status, by all the verizon customers, it's a direct violation of the spirit, the purpose of the fourth amendment. neil: i can't do anything as a customer. >> not until you're hurt and damagedded. neil: what if i'm exposed, damaged, i was told i'm on a diet. >> say they find out and penalizes you, now you are damaged. you possibly you have the standing to go into a courtroom, but before anything negative happens to you, you just can't say that it happened. they allow people to do the dna swabs of their mouth now. until they use that in court, they were not allowed to go into court. now they are in court. neil: if it's hard to sue the company doing the government's bidding, i would imagine it's next to impossible to sue the government. >> that's who you would be suing.
8:11 pm
neil: that would be the irs ongoing after conservative groups? that would be justice department if i'm a reporter and i've been maligned, you know? >> you do more than sue. you tell the judge whatever evidence they have against me, they can't use it because this was illegal. they obtained this evidence in an illegal manner so i should not be hurt in any way, shape, or form. neil: no law to protect me? you lawyers are brilliant, but there's not an icky law? >> no. the thing you literally learn in the first year of law school is called standing. even though something bad is happening, until you get hurt by it, real quick, people are hit by a car, dahl me, i'm in a car accident, i want to sue. where were you hurt? i didn't get hurt: i'm fine. why are we suing? in other words, what do you want to get money for? how did you get hurt? okay, yes, it was his fault, liability is clear. here it's verizon's fault or the government's fault. i don't know who is at fault for turning over the records, but --
8:12 pm
okay, now we got over that hurdle. what's the damage? how were you hurt? well, nothing, they know i called for a lot of pizza. did you get in trouble for work for it? no. sorry, you can't come to court. only come to court if you were hurt, or if they charge you with a crime because of it, now you can say, hey, they should not have beening at my phone records. neil: you can keep doing this, the government, with little fear that there's any punishment. >> we're supposed to be the fear. the citizens are to be in touch with the congressman saying change p. >> the irs can apologize to us. if the irs, you know, goes after me, and i apologize to them, i can't get back to you right away, i'm screwed, they go on? >> that's big government. we're getting bigger and bigger and bigger under both sides of the ail. neil: that's right. it's happening left and right. all right. i have no idea. it's an iris. >> confused. neil: thank you, buddy. good stuff.
8:13 pm
you helped me understand this, which means i should be ticked off by this. worried about china hacking on us; right? frankly, to argue the., i'm worried about us hacking us. no matter, we are trying to get tough on beijing. why isn't china worried? because they know our bark, and they have never, ever remotely seen our bite. to the former cyber czar says that bites. i'll ask mitt whether all the scandals brewing now make it think but could have been him. he's the special guest here and only here tomorrow. ♪
8:15 pm
8:16 pm
and how, good luck. the latest effort to punish overseas hackers is admirable, to think the president would sign, shall we say, doubtful? even as it was marked up, china was doubling down. reports of more hacking incidents involving the most advananies to supposedly supersecret and super safe defense contractors. the former white house cyber -zar, howard schmidt. what's the goal to reign this activity, or nip else? what can the white house -- what can anyone do? >> well, there's a couple things. one, this has been going on for a long time, and it's been on sort of the back room discussions, very few companies have come forward to talk about it. google was the first one back in 2010. we saw companies complaining privately they are intruded upon, data, their intellectual property is stolen, but they don't want to make a stink
8:17 pm
because they want business in china. they don't want to make the world difficult. congress says, okay, what we'll do is go out and create a new statute that says if you do this against the united states, you don't have to rise to the level of normal criminal evidence that, you know, we look for law enforcement things, but have a level of accountability you had not before, and, importantly, is if it states whether it's state sponsored or not. the country you are in has to take action against you. the problem is it's almost inpossible to enforce. neil: what toy -- they do in europe is slap trades on it, and we do that, but they can come back to you, the chinese, and slap tariffs, and it's a trade war, and historically, that does not end up good. still, our options appear limited, and we, in this country, seems to be on particular defense of the guards of china because we are afraid they go elsewhere and not fund our debt. what do we do then short of
8:18 pm
that? >> well, that's the problem that we've had because, like i said, this should not have reached the level where it's a crisis now. there's the sort of what they call track two discussions going on, mid level bureaucrats on both sides giving speeches about it, but, clearly, this is an issue where it's got to be separated from a lot of the other china, u.s. relationship issues. doesn't talk much about the issue about, you know, the u.s. presence in asia, doesn't talk about the rel valuation, and this is an issue that stands alone on its own. we have to make them understand that there are, indeed, rules of the road, even with cyber espionage. countries do that forever and forever they'll continue. that won't stop. when the theft of intelligence chewable property, then turned over to their nation's companies to compete against others in the world that that's out of bounds. the next thing they have to do is really understand that they really would be better off from an economic perspective and a public perspective globally if they're inside the tent and not
8:19 pm
outside. they don't seem to catch that for some republican, and we need to make sure that we make them understand you got to be inside. neil: i think china has a case they don't care. we're rich, growing fast, the world is the oyster, blah, blah, blah. other ideas are banty about like, well, if they play dirty, we play back. if they hack us, we hack back. we hack them. we're pretty good at that if we wanted to be, but we don't consider that because we're america, we don't do that. we just hack our own citizens, we don't go to other companies. you know what i mean? do you think that sometimes the only way to play with someone, you know, throwing you darts is to throw darts back? >> you know, if if it was just a u.s.-china thing, that would be an issue, but right now, looking at other nations saying, well, gee, everybody's out there hacking. i've seen cases in the past where you get on a system that's been compromised, data's moved from companies all around the
8:20 pm
world, governments all around the world, and so it's like a dirty pool. your really don't know who's in there. is it an intelligence agency from another country? a group of hackers? a group of activists? it's a consequence looking at us against them. it's much brooder than that. they are the noisiest and the ones we worry about most because we have more intellectual property to lose than anybody else does. neil: well put. howard, thank you very much for joining us. >> good talking with you, neil. neil: 16,000 new irs agents working on health care, and that's just the tip of the ice pack. the government with another hiring binge that just could make you cringe. ♪
8:23 pm
8:24 pm
not all of them, but a good number of them. hiring temperatures of thousands of what they call navigators about people fluent in foreign los angeless like vietnamese so they can, i guess, figure out a measure we can't comprehend in english. anyway, in any language, it's a mess. gretchen, what do you think of this? >> well, you know, i think it's app unfortunate seeing the government do what they do best, spend a lot of money and keep on growing and create a government that doesn't know what the other hand is doing, and here we see this massive health care law's needing several of thousands of people to be implemented, and people who have to understand what this bill is all about when the people who even voted for it and signed it into law don't know what it's about. neil: they were short on cash to the point that they, that is, the health and human services secretary, hit up companies over which she would be having direct control to fund it.
8:25 pm
>> yeah, back to the argument, i love job creation, who doesn't? it's public sector job creation. who pays the public employees? we do. neil: you can use the argument that they -- the money they got, they spend on stuff and helps everybody. >> but how are we creating the paycheck? we are raising taxes, deficit spending. california hired 20,000 public workers. california's doomed as a state. this is just a bad precedent, and it's like what was said, one end of government not knowing what the other enis doing, reminding me of thomas, the book, you know, the big government monster, and that is what this is. >> that's verizon, but that might be right. >> 50 shades of government. neil: you know, i was looking at this trying to think with the health care and latest issue on jobs, and now there's the irs stuff and the agents that, however many, led to that, are going to be, you know, hell to
8:26 pm
pay, and this is the same organization that will be overseeing this thing. not a great confidence booster. >> well, you know, the first thing to acknowledge is 30 million people are going to get health care coverage who don't have it now. neil: you've seen that the two out of three of them are debating whether they should get it. >> right. i think -- neil: look at the folks who went through the trouble. they might not want it. >> they don't have it yet. how do they know? >> a lot have it. neil: if they say, all right, this great man that from help coming our way, saying, yeah, we might, we might not, it's, like, hey! >> you know, i think, you know, to adam's point earlier, i think that california, by the way has their finances under control, but, sure, 20,000 jobs needed as far as that's concerned, but doctors are needed, nurses needed, and, you know, we need x-ray technicians. neil: who hires them? >> private companies, hospitals, clinics. >> by the way, physicians are
8:27 pm
opting out of the medical field. >> they are. >> because of the insurance liabilities and because of the bureaucracy they would rather not deal with, so, you know, in terms of doctors and so forth, things, watered down and what's hired are bureaucrats and people to explain something that i don't understand, you don't understandings and you help me understand, but most of us don't understand. >> i think people understand their current health insurance coverage. neil: what they didn't understand, and gretchen, with you, they thought they could keep their coverage, and the president sworn on a stack of bibles to keep coverage. he was to the letter right, but he left out, you keep the coverage, but you pay through the nnse, and unions discovered with their own cadillac plans they, too, are subject to this, you know, high health care coverage tax saying, wait a minute. that's not what we signed up for. that's going op in the country. it's a great wait a minute moment. >> it is a great wait a minute
8:28 pm
moment. this administration promised a great deal on a number of different issues, and when it comes to health care, they are failing to meet its promises saying you can keep the plan. no, you can't keep your plan. look, there's a jobs report coming out tomorrow. most economists are already talking about how the health care law is going to be a drag on the economy, and it's going to be a drag on the jobs numbers. neil: we don't know yet. we don't know yet. >> northeast are predicting it. >> you know, i have to be honest. my preference when this was done was hr676, medical care for all, something that everybody's already familiar with, there's no mystery to it. everybody's in favor, most are in favor of medicare, and it would simp fie things. neil: we didn't get that. the government wail. >> states have the option to go for medicare, and other universal health care things under this current. neil: all right, we'll get you back, but this makes me sick. >> i agree.
