>> the white house slamming china and russia over handling of nsa leaker snowden, they are smking us down. liz: welcome everyone, im liz macdald in for neil cavuto tonight. u.s. i leaking weak. crg, let start with you, ina, idea that china can protect its civil liberties, that is a laugh and a half. but you think because of our

debt at home is why we're getting the nose thumbed at us %->> if we had a strong preside, he should be ableo pickp the phone, peak to premier of china, and to putin. i remember when reagan was our president, while he was being sworn into office, 440 days of our people held hostage, they wereeleasing the hostages. why? they knewhere was a strong man in the white house, they did not hhve someone who was just playing psident, he was being president and leading, that is why i t think they are not payig attention to what mr. obama nts. liz: this is aboute storing u.s. economickikic strength. you know people would say some people say tha i what we shouldo but youan't without

economic strength at home. >> it that is true, you have to go back a number of years to find when our relations i particular with china and russia there were bad. it speaks to the lack of leverage, and influence we have, and lack of respect we get. i don't think you can discount the politics of this, as well, i am not going out on a limb by saying that white house, screwed the poo on benghazi out of politicalear over what a problem on ground in bghazi could mean for looming presidential election, so it is not a big stretch to say that, is this white hse reall excited to actually, despite whathey are saying? get their hands on snowden, get him back here, the have spectacle of a trial. ahd of midtermlections, that cannot be discounted. i hate tohi that white house is so incompetent right now they were not able o pressure, strong arm andet china's

cooperation. liz: y make a gre point, mike. right now. with the snowed kno snowden cass complaining of.s. surveillance of citizens. the point is that essentiallyly this is a storyine wre russia is saying that u.s. has been overzealous as a global cop, overreaching, we' been over playinggour hand, but to mr. ker's point, if we have an unstable u.s., that means instabilitiy in middle east, problems like benghazi and libya. >> you are right. mike hit it all, i is political, look at benazi, we'll get the bad guys, he does nothing about it. we don't know who told u sry and fib about you know, a video. youtube. mikes correct we h a deterioration of our retionship wit russia and china, and ielie part of it is due to the economy stress

we've had bet the nations, think about it do we believe that vladimir putin does not want to have some dominant position in the world. if we have allowed relationships to get so bad, to where our free world cannot pick up athe telephone, i doubt, i don't think heicked up the telephone and called the premier or have vladimir putin, and said, i need you to work with me, look, mike d i wouldgree, he is a bad guy,e stole things from americae is a thief, who knows what heas given up, but we don't know, so why not workith chinand russia, t get him back and find out what happened? answer is, they are telling to us go fly a kite, liz, they verve right t do it quite frankly because of the way that have been treated. liz: iel you, still a

striking, no small irony, that you know snowden is runninn to countries that are so against civil liberties, in china a russia? know, for decades u.s. has come -- there h been complaints about u.s. being the global cop, right now it seems that countries are being me vocal an more forward with their criticism publicly in the press. >> they can afford to do that, it is a lack of leadership. that you know putin les nothing more than to stick it in whe has the opportunity, chinese relationship hlways been fraught wh nnces and difficulties, but it clearly is stressed at this point. and snowden, he t in hong kong, provided about our

tional security posture today chinese government. people have been contemplating, that saying, we are beating up n the chinese over their decade of military espionage. it is only fairplay. it is not, we're workingn a different world than chinese, chese were willing to steal everybody, i am worried, that they become so layered, you los trackf the matters. liz: you start to lose perspective, because china is not a country with a lot of economic liberties, final word mr. baker. >> well, again, i'm stunned, i made a mistake early on to say i thought we would get snowden back in short order, i could not imagine our relationship with china is so bad they would blow it up over letting him go, i was wrg. liz: c craig smith. >> mike in, he will get him.

getting easier for any player to get ion the act of cyber hackg or has this story always been out there not rorted on. >> ahead. >> somebody who smart with a laptop can operate fro a internet cafe anywhere in the world, they can create botnets and create all shorts of nastiness, the problem with mr. snowden, he knows t counter measures. liz: stay on india, who is cyber hacking there? what a they going aft? >> i think in case of india, you probably have act -- hackers in commercial opportunity, ctract who will make a play for an quisition or who would indians like to partner up work you can see people hold cards. liz: is there cyber hacking out of pakistan? >> at this point there is probably cyber hacking coming out of every country, but i think that india for its size

but more advance i-t capacity is a light more concernhan pakistan. liz: dean are you conrnedhat rather than countries building a functioning economy they are turning to cyber hacking? >> i think for particularly countries whose economies are already rketty like pakistan, like venezuela, they are going to look at this, as the way out it is not. the thing is at the end of the day if you want to build an economy, you have to have a fully fudgal system, but for -- fully functional system, some are after political control, and cyr is a way to dohat. both econnd politics. liz: quickly, we have a limited aim of time when countries are you most worried abo in terms of cyber hacking the u.s. and companiesere. >> i think that china and russia lead the pack. believe it or not nth korea and probably see more things coming from south america.

liz: so, final question, north korea is cyber hackiig u.s., what are they cyber hacking here? >> they are trying to break into our militarbut they are also trying to break into things like our power grids and any other parts of cmunications and information backbone aways to hurt the united state cheaply but devastatingly. liz: dean chang thank you so much f being with us, good to see you, next up, comin up uk how government could force bunees to hire ex-cons. it is true. >> next als thousands of pages, hundreds of surprises, costing billions of dollars. we're talki about immigration bill thatsiving businesses a with the spark cash card

you should not be a citizen at wall, which is not in the bill. li that is the poi. >> if that is what we're going to do, we should fos on creating a clearer and saner path to get here legally, right now if you look at process, we have done in in magazine, look at process for most people it i insane. >> i want too bring it back. back to what we started out talking about. ro you make a valid point about whatappens wit the bills,hey bome derailed, and a way to get votes, you have to a big pork fest. >> instead of doing what other two guests areoing on air, compmising,his would pass house, compromise there is no citizenship but permanentegal status. but instead of figuring out ho

work together, congress is, doing who can we payoff to pass the votes of this bill, that is what congress has become. liz:ure say if you simplify it, youust focus in. yo would not haveo have pork going on. >> that is what chairman golatte is trying to do. >> peter? >> i would like to see a series of bills that make it clear that the problem is immigration is really hard, and problem is we have a bun of people here who unauthorized and illegal that need to be legalized. that is what we nd to focus on. >> you get last word. >> cbo saying, immigration bill could save american taxpayers to a trillion dollars. liz: they have been off with their numbers. right? >> but, immration reform needing sorted out.
