october of 81. 18.6%. hey, things could be worse. that's my two cents more. that's all for toight's willis report. hahave a grea >> who do you trust from the leader you a supposed to trus may be can't he trusted? president obama: when it comes to telephone calls nobody's listening to your telepho calls. that is not for this program is about. charles: tonight the proof the government i listening in and that's exactly what the nsa ogram is all about. welcome, everybody, i'm charles payne in for neil cavuto. the documents show the nsa is listening in on phone calls and collecting e-mails from ornary americans and worse yet it is holding onto these recordings for five years. reason magazine says it is tough to trust the government saying

one thing and doing another. it seems like every day some new news comes out that sttotay bees wt weear om t present. >> ablute. areot lteni to one lls isnctuay th origal awer therigil esti. thorigal qstiois c you steno amica'phoncall he was asked again, it was do you know the phone call they say that is not something we do. it is not something we are for. everyby seems to be dodging th fact this is something they are capable of and something they do. the documents into the guardian, basically what they said was occasionally nsa analysts listen to american phone calls and they don't aonversation, theyisten to americans they

don't just stop listening when they pick up an american conversaon. the protocol says listen to the conversation as long as you need to to determine if it is important. the data is stiil collected, the phone call is still collected and heldor five years. charles: everyone can agree a lot of phone cls coming into my house from men or the mountas of afghanistan i should be a target. maybe you want to delve a little deeper into what i am doing but if i call my cousin a couple of times in the phone call is picked up, there should be a distction, it shouldn't be so hard to understand americans want safety and we care about this but there should be a line in the sand as well. >> to people who say it shouldn't matter to you or you don't care, therare a couple of obvious good responses. the federal government in congress have been adding an new crime per week to the code for the last several decades. there is a chance you are a

criminal. charles: that is a stat i have never heard before. >> we got the house over criminalization committee looking at rolling back federal law. basically said at a hearing last week on average becae we now have approximately 4500 laws in the federal code that on average the congress has been adding about a law per week or a crime per week for the last several decades. when you think about all the possibilities for someone to commit a crime about any criminal intent you should be nervous about the governnt having access to your private communications. on the other hand, if you don't care about listening to your phone lls, is there anything you care aut them seeing? i have shades on my window, a lock on my fnt door. charles: some people value privacy just because they value privacy, not because they are trying to hide anything. what do you make of the effort this week, 50 terrorist

plots have been foiled since 9/11, do you think that has made a dent, doesn't mitigate the real headlines of what has happened? >> i have seen some of those claims debunked by conservatives and tech advocates by people all over the place, d i think there's another distinction to be made, could any of these events been avoided without tapping americans? there is a good argument they could have been. a lot arthwarted like everyday crimes are thwarted by good police work. ithat is t reque violating the fourth amendment or pushing or stretching or even breaking the boundaries of established federal law. charles: first of all you are fantastic, we appreciate it. i did not know new ws are giving new taxes a run for their money. >> they are neck and neck. charles: i appreciated, thank you for the news.

meanwhile millions are right about their privacy, president obama meeting with the privacy board to discuss t nsa scandal, but at this, meeting with them in private. the secrecy this administration does not fit with the army. it is getting worse by the day. >> president obama is doing the same thing he did in benghazi. i am going to get to the botm of it. in doing that, what he hopes to do is preempt any legitimate investigation and to co-opt the press and do saying he is a good fellow, he cares aut us, he knows how important it is so we ought to stand back and let him do his work. the fact of theatter is he is very skilll at public relations,nd i think he has a serious lack of respect for the rights of the american citizen, couple ttat th grotesque sense

of how much power should be vest ingovernment whether it is tax laws or invading our privacy. i have been fighting these issues for a long time, and there was an explosion initiative in the government after 9/11 when they were able to couple their desire to snoop more into our lives with the question how much privacy should we give ufor surity. the fact of the matter is one of the things we fight for against people like al qaeda is th protection of our privacy rights. we should give up nothing on that. make them do diligent police work be it charles: that is a fantastic point. we give up our rights, what are we fighting for inhe first place. you mentioned the public relations aspect of this. maybe this time it is not woing. the polls have s started to

waiver, something occasionally the mainstream media even picks up on i don't know tt this will fade away ever so easily. >> first of alall, charles, capo understand they wrote the song the great pretder, that is what weave in the white house now. he is pretending to care, pretending to do something aut it, but the fact of the matter is when they went after members of the press he attacked the brotherhood, and all the sudden spending the last six months swooning over this guy said wait a minute, he is afte us. and they have gottenerious about it. charles: preside obama the candidate was against a whole lot of this stuff, he has tan the same things yo he 't like d added steroids to them, would he be ab to call out people like you who may be in the pastor for this saying you are st against me because i am

a democrat, president obama if president bush was in office, you would be okay with all of this. >> that is not true at all. years was in congress,utl the this president i believe feels has a right to direct an administration that gets away with what they persecuted nixon for talking about doing. john f. kennedy got away with watching the irs. the fact of the matteris it is not republican o democrat, it is if we as american citizs have the right to not fear our government coul charles: dick armey, we thank you for your servicece and thank you for being on the show tonight, we appreciate it. the nsa is not the only one listing in on your private stuff. every lawyer in america want t take a peek.

charle that top-secret nsa data could soon be making not so top-secret appearance in court rooms. a florida lawyer requestin phone records from the secretive agency claiming they will exonerate the client for murder charges. the government refusing to hand over that data to fox news legal analyst and e attorney on whether this means private informatn will become public information. this is kind of scary stuff. balance.cessary, the man's life either way, murder charges, it ll risk all oo the liberty. i have to get this kind of information if it is yours it can be done in camera, by motion. probably because of all the medi interest surrounding the fact that had been a subpoena to verizon, that is why the lawyers said verizon actually gets rid of the records within a limited

period of time, maybe nsa has it. speaker turned out verizon had destroyed their records slay said i heard about this program and the maybe keeping these records longer than verizon and guess what, he was right. the point is this will have to be some fairne and wishing and mercedes is right. if somebody could be exonerated and there is a phone record, that will give way. in general kind to get tse records the court procedure and have the same national securities, i don't think people will be so successful automatically. >> this happens once, it could happen again over and over, the more the super private stf starts to find itself in the courtroom with all of these different measures to talk about, different security parameters it could be anywhere. >> the courts have a lot of discretion because the doj will

come forrd and s we are not going to release these records as natiinal security but they can say what are we dng here? we have to balance the rights of the government versus the rights of the individual with significant charges against him. charles: can this judge in this case order the nsa to turn over records? >> yes, but i like your thinking. you have to be very careful here, give the government a fair opportunity is a national security is involved. the judge can look at information in a particular case privately in camera, kind of a difficult term. the judge reews it privately and peaps ll the attorneys in privately. charles: you can't make the federal government hand the stuff over. >> the judge had a lot of discretion depending on it might not even be appealable because scretion the judge has on a case-by-case basis.

yes, lot of privacy issues that may be at risk talking privacy versus liberty, i think he is exactly right. talking marital disputes, i fell on sidewalk, it is not going to happen. whent comes to criminal. charles: so we have a distinction here. capital cases may be we start to let this stuff in, anything less than that, don't even n ask. >> the judges will follow, wait a second, let's be careful here. if an isolated case somebody's berty is at stake, absolutely. chles: it is murder, somebody's life is at stake he, just anotherlow to this program that we were told iis algorithms, we don't do anything, we just watched t algorithm in the computer, we

don't know who they are, they are feless, nameless and yet it feels chip by chip by chip, guys, but is not such innoous type of deal. there is some real civil liberties. >> it fits broad parameters. 9/11 is still very fresh in our minds. that iwhen everying changed. the government saiwe have to step forward, be more aggressivedo a bad sweep because that is how weill be ahead of the terrace. i guess that, but you have to balance that against it. >> you'r you are right, they cod argue congress how bad it may be, and all of a sudden i get a trump card, we prevented 50 attacks. and then you don't have it. charles: i made the commt is a can to an electronic version of stop and frisk but we are also specs.

it is not like they're being selective about this. what the records of every single customer from verizon. we want google, aol, all of you to hand over all the records and give us access to all of it. to your point in a case like this hopefully they are being very unique, but it could open up another can oforms with a very disturbing program at the stands already. >> the court will be very careful what it grants and what they don't. charles: let's hope so. listen, i don't want anyone to go to jail for murder, but lly, ts program is a gift that never stops giving. have a safe trip thiseekend. facebook founder mark zuckerberg is selling immigration reform is selling immigration reform but critics say he i thrst of a better tomorrow is somhing we all share. but who can help you find your own path?

charles: the facebook ceo is facing a ton of criticism. rk zuckerberg at the head of a group of 100 te titans pushing ngre for immigration refm. same in a looser immiation rules we can get more skilled immiants to come to this country. these folks are trying to help themselves instead of really fixing the problem. explain. these compani are thiing about themselves, not necessarily for the solution for the country. wthey are looking at an increase which in the current senate bill kes it to 115,000. this gives them an opportunity to from an expansive pool of not only american workers business case for an workers' this hel them be more competitive i terms of bringing people into their companies that can give them innovative ideas that can

helphem i access to the companies. but the embassy group is airing a very different message to conservatives saying this is a conservative plan that the senate is proposing and as we know the conservatives are literally, except for bill o'reilly, rolling their eyes saying this is not a conserrative plan, you have to toughen up on border security. charles: you boys, are they trying to help save the entitire planet? >> i am failing to see wh the ideological issue is. i don't know what is conservative about an immigration plan although i do understandhat we're talking about. actually the issue over high skilled immigrants has been on the table for years, silicon valley for ars has said it has trouble hiring the number of skilled people of phd at once, it has wanted the ability to hire more, it has never been

able to do that because washington on both parties has said we can reallget to your question until we solve this larger issue of immigration policy. what these companies is dng is quite appropriate. of course they are acting in their self-interest. th is what any shareholder wo want to do, to act in their self-interest. they are not trying to save the world by hiring more phd's. charles: a lot of ople say he is trying to have it bothays. >> some studies suggest 40% of the foune 500 compies are created th way. apple, google, oracle, colgate, ibm, home depot, boeingll treated by children of immigrants or immigrants. a better economic multiplier effect with a loosening up of

the visa program because instead of government spending you have companies created by entreprenes in fact one out of four for every job treated in the tech indusy, for more jobs are created so it is a great multiplier effect. charles: a no-brainer to allow more smart people into the country. >> it has been bureaucratic for way too long. >> i agree with that. if you look at th congressman's bill in the house, they have thisversion where they would allow for more graduates, increase to 155,000, more than what we see in the senate bill. this is good it allows for greater competition andlso so that the companies are able to pick amongst qualified workers. so i think at this point high

school workers is sething we need in our country, and it is helpful. charles: do we hold the high skilled workers coming in hostage for the rest of the bill? you said you didn't understand the ideogy but it is clearly politics or weould have had imgration bill a long ti ago. what do yomake of that somehow it is being hung in the balance until everything else is figured out? >> you are right. as i have said many times, demoacy is generally a good ing, but extremely ugly, so to make the observation that one part of what we're ting to accomplish is being tied to another part of what we're trying to accomplish inothing earth shatterg, that is just the way it is. to marriott to this other part of the legislation. when i said i don'understand how this is conservative or liberal, if you listen to what the program is trying to accomplish, there is nothing

conservative or liberal about it. i don't think there's anything conservative about t republican opposiiion to t bill, they a just against immigrants. charles: you have the last word. >> that is outrageous to say republans are anti-immigrant. >>eople against the bill seem to be. >> they want to make sure the border is re first. we don't want to see what happened in 19 >> you won't find one american against secure borders. >> ended up with an influx of illegal americans it h become with border security and modernization of the thesis system. it is outrageous >> i don't think it is outrageous, you won't find anybody who disagrees with the statement. charles: talked about all the

great companies created in this country because immigrants, these people youre talking about don't like immigrants, they are the sons and daughters of immigrants, why would it not like immigrants? >> great point. charles: i will give you the last point. >> sto being so libal on it. chars: we have 2 million jobs going begging, we need albert einstein of the world to come to this country and we need borr securi. it was fantastic, really appreciate it, have a great weend. laakers are saying they should get thheave, not just republicans. both parties joining forces and that could force ic holder out. but with advair, i'm breathing better. so now i can help make this a great block party.

looking pretty good and the market coming down hard is not my concern toy. charles: more to your point the fed is not going to stop this stuff overnight d when they do they will taper. it may not be 85 billion per month,h, that is still a time bb making it larger. >> they could restart it again, they could restart and i have done it twice before buying the bonds again. charles: kind of like you tell your kid you can't have this but if they throw a temper tantrum you give it to them anyway. coaxing them into not getting so whiny out all of this. >> to have got to let go of the pacifier. we're also having to have a couple of factors. china's growth is slowing down and have a look at what is going on in the world an in the natiol

motary fund tapering off over to crease. this will have impacts. >> that is a great point. the questi the wall street wrestl with his has the stock market gotten ahead of the recovery and i would say this, on evaluaon basis by certain measures stockare still historically chp compared to what they were back in '93 even back to 1994. charles: athem. >> despite what it looks like e fed concern is not to prop up thetock market, thamay be the result of what the fed does. it is to ensure the safety of the economy. if you want to bring it ck to the child, to make sure the child is safe, right? that is the primary concern. the economy is getting better, in theory the stock market will be okay and i think liz makes a

very valid point. the market is getting ahead of itself or miss analyzingng the recovery. the recovery is solid. charles:'s stance with the fed is trying to do and have always tried to do is kick off the virtuous cycle. grading an illusion they are much better, your house is worth more, this makes people go out and shop, the shopkeeper hires more people and theyn turn have a job now and spend and the next shopkeeper hires someone w we have this virtuous cycle, positive cycle and it see to matter what ben bernanke tries to do it does not click, it has not clicked in yet. >> in fact it has clicked. we are in a period of economic growth, we can debate the level, it is not satisfactory and so on. the hpe is when you do all these things and there are other forms of stimulus other than the

kind we are discussing, the economy takes on a life of its own. we can debate if we're in a situation like that. chars: isn it contradictory to say the fed has to pump in money, but the economy is doing well? >> slow economic growth. letting go of e dependency they have on the government in terms of the era of easy money. when you look at for example st. louis reserve federal reserve presidt who came out today saying ben bernanke's comments were premature and inappropriately timed, there is something to be said that it causes such chaos in the stock market. charles: i am inclined to agree with elizabeth macdonald in the sense american corporations are doing well, much better overseas robbing the bottom line but the fedal reserve put us

in something of a bind taking on too much risk and i for one would be very happy when they pull the plug on all of this stuff. absolutely fantastic, appreciate your the power to prosper. >> ladies and gentlemen, "imus in the morning". don: talking abo james gandolfini this morning obviously but also vince flynn who became an acquaintance of mine, frieni guess, died of prostate cancer. the cancer had spread throughout his body and he underwent radical treatment and so
