il: the pile on is on the agenda is off. welcome, everybody i am neil cavuto. you know, things are bad when democrats call ffr hearingsnto the nsa mess but that is what john conys wind and the sooner the better trying to have congress get to the bottom of this phone tracking thing and they're not alone no less than a director ben and mark udall are concerned but listen to what he told reporters on this whole dustup the admistration d people comment on what authority it thinks it has but obviously republicans are not leaving

it ther. theye e promising more hearings, more investigations, more subpoena not only on the scandal but of many others. so many scandals, witnesses scandalswitnesses, so little time that ty will hard have the time to do much else which is maybe the way republicans like it but giving the spending issues and entitlement issues you may not. too late. scandals are the sticking and freedoms are slipping now politicians of all sorts are in gauging. get ready. this is a mushroom and now it will mushroom like it is out of control especially when we found t the nsa was snooping on all of us changed things completely %-matter of virus targeted conservatives are justice department goingfter conservatives but one of the most powerful surveillance agencies and the planet rifling through phone records, then e-mail records and other rerds skinning, collating, collt

ing courtesy of a 29 year old kid who stumbled upon them? it is hard to fathom but how edward snowden came upon this to upload it makes you wonder how a guy named -- to die so young and relatively inexperienced could no so much to a retired lieutenant colonel who knows full well of things so strange. on any level if he is a hero or just an opportunist, bottom linhe had access to stuff i am surprised. that is what worries me. >> i think there is so much going on out there it is hard for people not to be exposed. he may have not only been directly involved in these programs but around the water cooler may have picked up other information there. bradley maing the army guy is a good example of young people and experience to have access to some of the

nation's highest secrets and not knowing how to protect them. neil: what does this mean as far as security is concerned? you sometimes think going back to the james bond movie but now it is more than i thought and they don't appear that sinister act oo. >> it is quite common because we still think of information security as part of the i tea culture to make staff work on right between the terminal andould every need. think information's security is a different discipline to talk about risk unfortunately in most organizations in and out of the government it rules the roost they report to it it is wrong and whatgave private manning, a private access to all that information and this gentleman was allegedly has

access to th information and nsa even though just a contractor for a few years is because we don't separate information security from it to have them report separately to an executive %-acssecesetween ease of neil: are you worried that this is like the patriot act on steroids? what started with good inteions to police and cross refence to a potential bad guys has now becom a tool that agencies use andbuse? >> absolutely. i have been worried about it for some time. still many more things up ther that none of us know about. it is a government run amok. neil: he saiththat there are many other things the you don't know. what do you fear? >> more affirmation about us may be floating around out there that we don't know. even though theyre denying right now, listening to telephone calls are personalizing some of the stuff that they're picking up, i doubt that. this started out as only being

verizon. over the course of the few days it is gone to l bunch of oth people. and i don't just blame ts on the democrats. the republicans. does not matte who is in power. the fact of the matter is that the government itself, of these bureaucrats, all the people were there who are responsible for building these things, convincing the congress that we need to have them, getting them implemented and then taking a vantage. neil: that was the source of the old dustup, we can show about whether we can go too far with this sort of thing. my view was to take the politics out it and say whether government and these agencies and departments have done so large and unwieldy that this sort of thing is inevitable. what starts out as something that is meant to protect us then spills over into just abusing as. >> yes. i completely agree. this is a situation of empire building. we are buildg empires and databases. neil: who is building it? becae is true to the colonel's point. i respect the heck out of him

use i think he's right. republics built it, democrats bolted, but i get this idea that these bureaucratic fiefdoms have set up shop where they just got all this stuff. >> they got it and they are getting more of it. they want more a more of it. it is like an insatiable we did ju want to consume t information to build more and more data empires. that is why we see so much in the press about a data. if you don't think the federal government is on the big gated bandwagon, just open up t newspaper in the last week. neil: row quickly thiis a securiiy threat and an of itself. >> it is. clearly unarican these and a was going on. in the benghazi opeting overseas, any time had an international phone call or exchange tamayo was assed the government is looking at enlisting. i'm okay with that. obamacare with anything that is going on within the boundaries of the united states. neil: they keep. back to what is really at stake.

it would be like a dishwasher knowing how much the manager makes or worse, what everyone else in the restaurant makes. he just been set up before he punches out. think it can't hapn? well, sometimes very personal employee data being share could be more common than you know. surely you police to knew what about whom in your organization. how did you do that and who did you entrt with that? >> well, you know, and all organizations you have intellectual property that has to be protected. one of the most important things to protect is the privacy of the individual, the employee. so we have very secure systems th only the highest-ranking people in our human resource departments could know about salaries, bonuses, performance reviews and things of that nature. this hardly is on the sle of national security. we have to be realistic about this stuff. we want mature, well schooled,

well vetted people managing intellectual property in this country, including our own privacy. and i thk what has happened is that the largess of the government, the entrenched federal workers to have nobody told them accouable who can just go from job to job to job no matter how badly they do or how many mistakes they make is the real issue. the size of government has done none of control. the strategic micromanage is of details. when youo that youill se control inevitably. neil: i'm just surprised we don'see more affmation late. back to your corporate, lot of people see data that they might or might not seize on an share or spell or leak because most people are very honorable and don't do that. in the course of approving a promotion or raise or a reprimand, there are in many organizations, many eyes to see them along the way. no true to their good decency,

they don't put that out. the potential is that they could and when government gets and we'll be in big, there i more of that because the percentage rule of thumb means there are more pple who could blurted out. >> you always run the risk of a road in any organization. i am sure that there have been people we protected, our computer centers very carefully. we had access backwards. we had a secity department who was responsible for our computer security. we were pretty tight about that thing. you can always have a road anywhere that can do all kinds of damage before you can get some teeseven but how would you compare that to someone who says that they're paying less on the east coast benny's paynt on the west coast. ansomeone is aware of that in your operation and conveys that to those on the west coast. becausee feels may be like this guy, i great iignation is afoot. >> well, that is interesting because one of the ways to avoid

that is transparency. if you are foolish enouh to not have equal pay for your employees, you deserve to get busted. and i think that it really is -- as long as corporations and government are behaving properly in the rules of business are in the rules of government, the constitution, if you behave properly, the idea that the road can take information and do damage is diminished dramatical. it is only when you cross that line. neil: if he thinks in this case he found that evidence collecting phone recor of millions of americans in god knows what else because i think there's more comingut and is offended by it -- there might be rfectly valid reasons, but he feels an obligation to leave that out. >> well, i think it's bad if he feels like he did we get out because one fundamental issue here. he did not have enough confidence in his boss together ansay, look, i think there's prlem. neil: maybe you didn't. maybe he just figured this is

beyond the pale. have to get this out because we're. >> it's intesting. i don't think this is a man is a hero. had he stayed here and face the medicine that would have a different onion, but he ran because he knew what he did was wrong. he had bosses. he should ha gone to the man said, this isrong. i have an inherent is belief in this. nothing else he could have calledis congressman are senator and said, hey, i want to discuss this with you. when not keep it in the general security. neil: a very good point. thank you very much. all right. some good news on all of this spirit that 29 year-old kid you refuse all this stuff for released it to my should say reports he is in hong kong. now for the bad news, reports he is in hong kong.

this was the big announcement? this was apple better late than never. say it ain't so. was the most creative and innovative company on t planet now reduced toine-tuning technologies that others have been crafting for years. now, casey did not hear, apple wants to play a bigger role in what you hear. talking up an internet radio service that kind of sounds to me at least like a lot of other radio services that are already out there. claiming its service will be different and better and married with itunes, a combination killick. i don't know ifandora comes to mind. think they're already doing it, but what do i know. is this going to impress anyone? >> summing up the apple announcement, up on thetage saying today we're going to announce something you already have and something you don't care about. you know, that could have been it i don't thini have been this excited about an announcement since windows.

promising big things to come, but i mean, usually with the carrot being a lot closer. where is this company going? >> you know, i tend to think it is probably too soon to tell, but it feels kind of liked it lost the weigh. am wondering if rest in peace, it all started with wind steve jobs passed away. as much as he was at the top, i still think he was the guyut there kicking butt saying, look, have to come up to something. i'm wondering if tim cook is that guy. i'm not sure yet. based on what we saw today, it does not seem like they had anything to wallace. neil: to you think that maybe they were hoping that on this day there would have something big to announce but it wasn't ready. in other words, something like that. that is in the pipeline, but is just not ready, such a there was not the day to announce that. it's coming any day n.

appreciated in the united states. maybe more so in china. >> it is hard to say. some people saying thisuy is a hero, was aboard. i have a problem with that. nobody made in take the job. nobody made in sanhe commitments that he d of confidentiality. if he had a problem of what he was doing he could've gone to the inspector geral to my is superior, mber of people insidehe agency that he worked for and said to my have a problem with this. i am wrestling with this. can we talk it through. instead as near as i can tell h3 decides to go public. this is no joke them. people's lives could be put a risk. i have a problem with the 29

year-old deciding.s. national security policy and is on. il: you're quite right and it's hard to know atever his motivations are. quite the opposite. t the one thing that disturbs me more than any of the above is that a 29 year-old would have access to this type of information anyway. surely there is something in our serity system that has gone wrong that opened up this amount of data to the number of pple it hasnd to guys as young and relatively ixperienced as this gentleman. >> clearly that's a question. you know, i asssme he had to go through a process, a background check. polygraphs and all those kds of things. neil: evenf he did, this is a big dl. >> of crse it is. i don think the w any expectation. clearly he w sworn to secrecy.

i'm sure he signed commitments. they checked him out. you know, when you have a number of people working, whether it's a hundred or thousand 10,000, there willlways speak potential issues like this. like i said, you know, i think there were a number of avenues that he could it taken if he was having an attack of conscience as opposed to saying, okay. i will reveal to the whole world, including some people who actively wanto do less harm how our surveillance systems are working. il: out give you the benefit of the doubt on ts. he feared going to is higher ps because he was concerned about his personal safety. if he was against this and/or expressed serious reservations about this then he would be a marked man and he was in danger. >> this is sounding a little bit like a conspiry.

neil: you read my mind tends. >> who i don't know y reason thate would've thought that. on the other hand, i wasn't there sitting next to him. i know who is superiors or. these agencies have at positi called the inspector general w is -- they're pretty indepdent types. they have independent authority to look into things like this. i suppose you can create a situation where he would say, was afraid for my life. another thing that would have been the case. people have sai okay. if you're uncomfortable with lots going on then find another line of work. again, i go back. he made commitments. you live up to them. neil: there are a lot. the lot of people are connecting along all political persuasions. they just weren't. it unsettles than thaat dependig on the agency and your department this type of stuff is

more common than we know the more pronounced than we feared. they just -- it gives them the heebie-jeebies. as a government spying on them with the idea that they're giving it to protect them, and they're not buying the protection. >> this is a classic dilemma. this goes back 3,000 years. the other day, for example, all of this pho data that the nsa has, that giv me the ceps. and not sure they need to have all the data it. if they want to get at phone data on particular calls that go warrant, go to the phone company and say to my nt to look f for those recor. bothers me. one of saying is i think there are legitimate issues to talk about. i think you're absolely right. it is a classic example. the basic function of government is to protects, prode security. yet this same time we have the fifth amendment in the fourth amendment and those things. the fourth amendment says no unreasonable searches and seizures. we have 200 years of legal

precedent. and we all have to be making this judgment in these judgments and finding a balance all the me. neil: very well put thank you. >> that is exactly the business i man neil: you do a good job at it. senator andis gang. this is what happens. kind of like wing big pieces of legislation go wrong. many patches. but we don't need no stinking badges. maybe what we don't need our with the spark miles card from capital one, bjorn earns unlimited rewas for his small business take theseags to room 12 please.

neil: all right. this just then, both republican and democratic lawmakers said the patriot act needs a second actor or a least a major revision to its first act. these nsa security snafus mean we have to fix the law is meant to keep a safe.

you could apply that reasoning to a health care law that has already been too complicated and expensive and is already long or an immigration bill is getting more padded in prison by t moment. what do you think? >>ell, you know what can i think this is the underlying issue which is bigger government bigger problems. no matter what piece of legislation that is, the consumer protection agency, immigration reform, all proposed of the gse of protecting the individual consumer or in this case theountry as a whole. there are costs that come alo with these underlying benefits and we have to be careful the parse them out. the government is quick. in the thing that says a lot. intended to protect this country the way they go about that is undermining the individual freedoms we have. it is really a rock and hard place right now that the government buys and sells and when there were too quick to

enact this legislation. neil: i think every big government initiative starts th t most decent of goals in the most altruistic of intentns. then it gets crazy. the patriot act in t guise of keeping as protected violates all our projections to be the health care law, the guise of protecting those who don't have insurance essentially charges people. this is just the latest example. it will keep going on and on. >> let's face it. there is a creep in washington. congress passes bills and increasingly now with these big bills, these big comehensive bis the past the administration is given a lot of latitude on how it's implemented the regulatory bodies are as well. it takes years tfigure out how they get implemented. who you elect president matters. think abo president obama, used to work for bush. he ran around this country in

2008 and castigated bush and his administration for the abuses and civil liberties, the patriot , the use of drone technogy in all the other questions. and it's kind of a right to see today that he is channeling dick cheney on his national security policy. think we have a war on terro and i'm glad to see that he was dided more vigorously. but there is clearly a question of how he is implementing this law neil: the democratic strategist, well-connected with powerful democrats. are they worried that all of this is beginning too compromise eir credibility and that the very least it's going to hurt them unless they find a unified voice on this, hence all of these powerful democrats wanting more information on the nsa and the irs to molding the president more aountable because they are afraid their fannies in going the burnt? >> i don't know how much lower they can yell. the approval rating is probably around 13%. that is pro wh a high mark.

so as an institution dancing their credibity get down which ishy they run as individuals in their stas or dtricts neil: they're warning away. they're running away >> and they're going to be read as poll numbers go down there will run for their way. democrats in red states. other tough places to win reelection. you bet there will be running. also with th fact that to the president saying b but congrs knew every step along the way. all of a sudden there waking up and saying, no. neil: the know. i'm sorry. the one thing i'm wondering about is where all of this goes. each and every issue and scandal , one liberal was telling me it can be conflated, but they're part of a largeger pattn of personal liberty abuses enacted by governments but leveraging the full power of their agencies and deptments to scare the you know what out

of the average american. so where is this going to make government right now certainly does not look like a frien. >> and there is going to be a lot of finger-pointing. and there will be aot of dancing around exactly who was responsible for this confusion and to is exactly responsible for initiating this legiation. neil: my point is, i don't care. the patriot actors under president bush. put on steroids by obama. not here to blame one of the other. it's out of control. will you do to rein it back in? >> all this does is undermine will the conference the confidence. >> the one prediction i can make when you said it will be responsible, i guarantee you president obama will be. as the one thing that does tile these thiigs tether. at the end of the day this administrati is way off track. you have to get it back on

track. is not just a political question these are very serious questions neil: republins can look opportunistic. a lot of them are going for r te jugular. >> i think in the case of carol ice and others, stop trying to win and actuay try to get to the bottom of and and l the facts speak for themselves. if it went all the way up to the white house as he is tryingo alleged, the pieces, some of the interviews that he's done. let that evidence speak. let it come out. >> behalf to a kwledge it. it's out of control. neil: and o.c. the fixes. each side isrying to get the other in a fix. >> i certainly don't. i think both sides are going to try use it for political gain that leaves the country and the individual consumer unprotected. ioc in and game and i don't see a solution. neil: you will try to find one.

the country, i guess it's up to me. but seriously. thank you very muc you will keep monitoring this. it is your freedom, you basic american cheryl: "money" th melissa francis now. melissa: here is what is "money" toght. edward snowden goes off the grid. but the fallout is just beginning. is china lking his chops? another nsa whistleblower on what it is like. plus community windowshopping like this before. suitable windows in new york city. the first plan to look how they can revolutionize the industry. and who made money today? some serious green from egg whites. in one essay it is not, it is always about "money."
