melissa: our top story tonight to my question that has been gaining traction since we first asd last thursday.y. is edwards notes and a double agent for china? today snowdon himself address the accusation writing this is a predictable sar that i anticipated before gng public. i have had no contact with the chinese government, just like with theuardia and the shington post. i only work with journalists. not everyone believes that including former vice president dick cheney. here he is on fox news sunday, justice survey. >>t think he's a raitor. think he h committed a cme, in effect, by violating agreements given the positione had. i am deeply suspicious obviously because he went to china. that is not a pla where you ordinari want too go if you're

interested in freedom, liberty, and so forth. so it raises questions whether not he had that kind of connection for did this. melissa: fox business peter barnes is in washiton. this sto just keeps turning. what's next? >> reporter: their will be a hearing tomorrow. e head of theational curity agency, the one tha created tse two programs that edward snowden based on and lead to the press, he will be testifying publicly for the first time on these programs. i believe it was the house intelligence committee, soe will continue to year -- likel here alexander defend these programs along with a number of -- along with the white house and the number of key leaders on capitol hill. and that should be the major development to mob. melissa: we will keep our eyes peeled. thank you. while everyone is trying to figure out the realotive of edward snowden, things a heating up even more for those

who has implicated. a conservative grp freedom watch has filed two classction lawsuits against the government and the ompanies involved in the nsa -- nsa scandal. they're hoping t score a whopping $23 billion victory. joining me now, freedomatch founder, the man behind the lawsuits. have you, but that numbe >> well, the primary purpo, melissa, bringing these lawsuits was not for the money but to stop thihis illeg actity which is a violation of our constitutional rhts. to do that you have to us stop the companies and the individual's response will with a large penalty. that is where you come up with the 23 million. between these o lawsuits you have one dealingit the verizon situation and the other dealg with the other cell phon providers and internet oviders like facebook and skyp. you have potentially over 300 million class participants as plaintiffs. if you bre it now with all of the people, it may turn out not3

basis,ut we do want to punish the companies and government officials because this is an outrageous abuse of privacy. melissa: you say that the lawsuit, in the lawsuit claims that therogram violates the reasonable expectationsf privacy as well as the rights to free speech and tir freedom from unreasonable search and izure. do you feel like you're going to get a lot of traction withhis? are you hopul the you're going to win,or is this about making a statement? >> we're hopeful we're going to win and we're hopeful that the judge of we got will follow the law in not be influced by washington politics becse judges are appointed by politicians, the president, recommended by senats and others. but if the judge places straight in t fee is natural he has to rule on a favor. never before in the history of this country have we had every american underurveillance. that is outrageous. listening to the comments o former vice president dick

cheney ding that interview, even said we did have a ght to even know. shoulde kept secret. is the eablishment here in washington against the american people,not a conservative or leftftist issue. melissa: the state into that because you mention the american people. there was a recent poll that found that 56 percent of americans thi the program is acceptle way for t vernment to investigate terrorism. does tha this we do? do you really think that a majority of americans do think that his is going too far? is in sightn the not. >> 44% that y no, and that's a very large figure. there has been a drumbeat re in washington in the last three days in particular, pticularly the sunday sho are all of these vernment officials from obamto a former republican officials that but a simil ogram intoo effect. it did not take it to the extreme that obama has, there'll defending thmselves because they're culpable, guilty. basically this kind of dialogue that is going on right here in

washington with these esblishments is influencing people out there in the country. it will change once they find out that every internet posting and text has been recorded by the government. melissa: then make a compelling case. on the one hand they say you should n be doing anything. if y're not doing anything wrong yoshould not care anyy because that is all we're interested in. thenen you have people like pet king him onhis program last we and said it is absolutely essential of hundreds of thousands of new yorkersy borrowing the 2009 subway bombing plot. melissa: -- >> did aone do anythg wrong with the ira sndal when conservative groups retarded? melissa: i hear you, but that is a different issue. we're trying to focus on this one. i'm trng to get you ready for your day in court here.

pressive, but he did not have the technological tools that o government has that can beat the people into submission. melissa: do you feel like edward snowden is helping or hurting your case right now? he is off the vocal. he is out thereng that live chat answeng a lot of questions. i feel like with everyord says he makes sense but that he also makes political points. it seemed lilike he wins people over and elaine is the not the >> he is going t hp the case ultimately becse they have confmation that this was going on. this was the first time that we get it fm in effect an official source. i think all americansnew there s something going on, bute this. and sarah said it well on your other nwork, fox ews. it's rlly irrelevant. the issue is hat the government was doing. and these companies, they're collaborating. what are they getting in exchange? while i am not equating

president obama or anye in washington to what happened leading up to the years of the the industrialists the supported hitler, the indtrialists of allowed him take power. while that is not the case, it shows you t dangers of having the government and industrwork together against the american people. meliisa: and it the classic slippery slope. thank you for coming on the program. stay out of the domestic affairs. and the policies. th have lost at least a billion dollars of the past two years, a billion dollars lost to my gone, burned up in the solar stem. an effort to sl the division failed.

melissa: ii'm sure that's rigt, given the climate and everything that employers are facing. wamart recently said that they are only hiring temporary workers at many of their u.s. stores for number of reasons. honestly they nt to be more flexible in the have to deal with benefits. we think of tir decion and w does that compare with what you are doing? >> i really can'speak for them. in our industry, we will continue t rely on part of our workforce being full-time employees. whether it's our manement staff or cease hourly emloyees it isthe nature of this historically that it is full and part-time employees. melissa: so of those, what percentage of those would you say are part-time? >> we have a typical estaurant

that has 55 or 75%. that is not much different a typical firehouse restaurant have 19 employees and about $18,000 per yar wil be full-time and the balance will be full-time. lissa: this is the economic argument. given the way that te law is structured now in the way that our economy has changed by obamacare and everything else, the new job that isoing to replace the bs that went awayy andthe ownturn are more jobs like the ones you're talking out, whe they are part-time and perhaps do not have the same benefit and issnot a fair characterization and what or do you thinthat means for our economy?

why is that? >> the reason is something that was devised by the fcc n 2000. you don't even have to buy i with the sec. it is basically a sales plan that you can file as an insider. melissa: >> executive of a company can go out and you can be comptely3 unaware of it. then when they sell they can say that this was soldthrough merrill lynch or woever and i filed it some months ago. the only reqiremen is that you file it not with the sec but the broker aed time you ae not possessingn information. messa: so he decided to ma the sale. i don't know how he would've had knowledge but at that time it ems he didn' know. so hecould say imade a plan.

but should he have canceled his order. there is a very high likelihood that he knew what was going on, or the other thing i wa thinking if you just cancel it if there isn't othing going on. and in this case, it's like, i have that in place, i can sll this and i can sa what when i file thai had no idea. >> you think about making this as an insider profit. and you make a killing if you buy the otion. >> in this space, you also-- it is also a foregone maas of ofit. so you don't know if th

executive had a plan to purchase that and cancel it. so you never know. because this only comes out wen the sale occurs. they c have overlapping plans in place and you don't have to know the criteria. >> it just seems like an honest ways to x it. he agreed back in december to sell this. in this case i have to say in

his defense that he was mor open about it and transpent. but he was more transparent aboutit. also he is still a very large shareholder. melissa: but he still thin himself a $.5 million. but it ma not make the front page because he didn do anything illegal. you were one of the ones that got crshed their an it didn't make you feel really good. that's one othe reasons that they are talng about this story. thank you for coming on, we appreciate it. coming up on "money", vladimir putin may hae his ownsoteric and leader, but do not call him a thief. he is fighting back against claims that he stole a super
