>> the president means it when he is says it is a phoney crisis as we hear those conservative groups of targeting are still going colin and they are still targeting the tea party groups three months after the first one down there not let teeing up and with these implications of the house ys and means committee chairman says they're still the focus what the irs agent called up the secondary because the agency has not come up with any new guidance on the concept of a follow-up on that tax status of such groups for
6:01 pm
now pretty much just much just conservative groups for now. with this sa harassing it is just a phony scandal. said this is a phony. he is the one it keeps suing. it just kept running -- growing and growing and growing. what do you make of this latest thing? >> it's amazing. we heard from the administration early on to mothers day that ms. lerner annnunced, tomorrow marks three monthsince ms. lerner started this scandal when she ansred what i think was a phony plaed question by a friend ohers other legal convention heren washington. three days later you get eric holder calling for a criminal investigation. president obama the next a desert of the acting commissioner and replace simmons as we will get to the bottom of it. w we fin out they told us then, remember, it was over in may of 2012, completely done.
6:02 pm
we still have letters may 6th of 2013, just a few months ago. neil: have any of your clients -- i'm sorry, jordan. were you getting news for many of those that you represent that this was continuing? >> we knew that. starting in 2012, about march we starterepresenting most of these groups. some are new with the new lawsuit, but most we have been representing cents over a year or close to a year-and-a-half. these groups were still waiting. we have a group, the albuquerque party. this group has been waiting over 1300 days. theypplied december of 2009, and we are finding a from the irs it you were to apply today he would face the same kind of problems. what does it mean? they cannot solve correct. the irs does not what to do with these groups. we rejected that offer to get self approval tha they try to offer the groups that were suing them, the ones we represent. and this is why, because the irs
6:03 pm
needs to be able to figure out how to answer the applications. yes or no. they refuse to. what this new testimony showss that they still cannot do that. we're talking now months after. neil: we tried to get them to come on and talk to us. lacking that, i have to try to get maybe what could be there point of view. i have no idea. i am investigative journalist. if you find the actions that yo were taking were justified when you question any group's tax-exempt status, you cannot just cease and desist. right? i mean, you have to keep doing it. maybe not be look like you are targeting just a conservative groups. to pursue that, with this was about the irs, whenever this secondary screening is covered for, the irs way of saying we are still very vigilant about policing anyone's tax-exempt status or request for tax-exempt status and justifying what was
6:04 pm
their behavior before by saying, this was allbout saving you money. >> the pblem is the targed political viewpoint discrimination, which is unconstitutional. what the agent has testified to, not that they scrutinized groups. in fact, what we said is, our groups deserve an answer. donnelley is also an answer,,but they do not want to own that answer. neil: these and other liberal groups that were supposedly questioned as well. every libal i have on the show says, you know, everyone has been questioned on this. i put out please. please come on. and if they lied about that, that is an even bigger problem on their hands. >> that is another agent -- issue. this agent did not say every group that comes through that would possibly political goes to a second level of scrutiny. neil: that i what i want to know. you raised another good point. this secondary screening is just about screening more than the
6:05 pm
me conservative groups you have compounded the problem and dug an eve deeper ditch. >> that is why we agree all along that wind up president tried to take these actions and now is very car that the administration tried to play and often some kind of phony scandal by the way, the sixth irs official retired today. another one, the head of the technical adviser. the assistance of ms. lerner has retired and is being replaced by someone from the cinnnati office who signed off on leasing the group's tax-exempt applications before they were granted status. she is now being replaced. they're saying it is better because the -- she is in cincinnati. if there is no scandal ms. lerner does not take the fifth and thatould have figured out by now, you would think, if we are supposed to beeve what they are saying that one year or 15 months or even free months later with a new acting irs commissioner how to answer people's applications.
6:06 pm
they are still using the same process. that is what this agenda said. again, why we are getting some much more information constantly out of this is because a lot of these irs officials were sick and tired of the administration trying to blame lower-level folks when it was all coming from the top. neil: thank you very much. i invite the other side come on at any time. we always request. you're always welcome. i just want to find out where the hell you are. meanwhile, house and even have this targeting will ever stop. it never doess appear to stop. and fact, if anything, it appears to accelerate. >> you know, i have to tell you, you called this. a remember going back to the very beginning of this. use and i bet nothing will ever be done, and i actually thought, there is no way that this administration can be this arrogant and not call for the heads of these people.
6:07 pm
rather than nowe have seen is one cover-up after another. the presidentnt calling this a n scandal, i guess, like benghazi and some of the other horrible things. we have seen holder perjure himself and still have no answers and they are still doing it. the president at this point is the implicit in this, and i think that is what people need to start screaming about. neil: you raise a good point. it did more into a genuinely real investigation or so we're told by an outraged president at the te. did not seem like sony rage there when he said he wanted to get to the bottom of it. yet this so-called investigation has yet to yield inquiry to any of the group's that were targets. some meetings there is no investigation going on. >> that is pretty amazing. we're learning now is by definition scandalous. whenever you have a political tity targeted for their political beliefs by the irs to the exclusion of every other political entity on the other side of the aisle, i think that
6:08 pm
is scandalous. we're also seeing is stunning managerial incompetence of the irs. you'd think that after the scandal broke it would try to correct the situation, but fremont's after words nothing has been done and there are still targeting. if you look at the transcript they asked the agents, whaif you saw this, no polical activity by this group, would you still give them more scrutiny? they said, yes because we don't have how to handle tea paaty groups. we would still give them extra scrutiny even if there was no evidence. to me that is stunning and shows the behemoths barack -- bureaucracy is out of control. neil: at facvalue of these events and was going on and i am lookg at you, you still have a target on you. >> absolutely. everyone really does because if this administration gets away with this, this change is complete out politics is done forever. this is basically the executive branchf this government is exerting its power over people.
6:09 pm
neil: but the it is even worse than tt. composite media. i mean, bottom-line, it would be allowed in and no one would say boo, but by and large the media is giving it a pass. what do you tnk of that? >> well, i think -- >> well -- neil: to regina first and then you. i apologize for not being clear. >> a composite media is to be short. there is room here. there is an ethical democrats out there that says, hey, mr. president, shouldn't you be doing something about this? shouldn't there be someone helping. i have to say, i am not seeing a whole lot coming from republican leaders about this. let me assure you. if the situation were reversed the democrats would be raising holy cain about this, and you and i th know it. neil: i think you are right, and certainly almost forced out of office. but that is not happening now. phony scandal areot, do you
6:10 pm
think the president has just gotten a past? >> of the media is kind of buying his line that these are funny scandals. while it is true and i think we have to admit in fairness we do not have been directed to the white house, we have to the chief counsel's office which is run by a political appoint, the investigation. i think those are the facts, but the investigation is still ongoing. and very well could tied to the white house. the president is out there calling it a phony scandal and what i think he should be doing if he believes it does not go any higher is, let's get all the facts out there. let me prove that is not a phony scandal by, you know, providing the information that is requested by congress, but even a democrat in the senate, max baucus, says that the irs has not provided documents in the way that he has asked them. neil: to your point, whether it goes to the white house or not, more pointing to that it might. if that is the standard or the litmus test, then you would have
6:11 pm
never had the pursuit of watergate, never read the pursuit of iran-contra, never had the pursuit of the whole savings and loan crisis because there would have bn an unwillingness on the part of the media to flow up because it woul have said, well, if the president does not look like he is involved, we might as well drop it now. that could be a very slippery slope. >> she had time to speak up. he had time to speak up about mr. martin, time to say that the dream nine should have no responsibility for breaking the rule of law in our country. he had time to speak up on a lot of issues. is silence speaks volumes on this. neil: nothing points to the white house, but by dismissing it, something it off, and saying the investigation is not going there or there is no use going there, i think, it begs credulity. i wanted thanyou both. i look forward to having y both back. well, if you have d it with

♪ >> mind your manners or you will lose your lens. warning. warning. fire ii the port fuel cells. ♪ neil: the only one to remember this, but i want to a shout out to the robot from lost in space. this still does not compute because the nsa is replacing human beings with computers to be senseless new bond people does not mean the agency still is not stepping on people. what it is saying is that a machine is not going to leak such news to people. are we not missing here's something? the agency is still spending on people. we are supposed to feel better because it is a machine. it is not human. i am telling you, it is in human. it is still a mess. what do you think of it?
6:15 pm
>> move like -- moves like this are designed to high accountability. when you remove people from the equation, you can silence people and control them to some extent, but they're is a kind of randomness to people. when you assign machines to do all the information transfer in to manage this you run into problems with the people that the nsa did not know what is going on. look at what is happening with hamper frequency trading were the traders running those algorithms, programs don't always know exactly what they're doing and how the interactions or. you collected things like the bidding bought on amazon that controls the price is in which you have sometimes instances in which books bore little courts were electronics will be bid up 6,000, 8,000, incredibly ridiculous prices becauseou have these two algorithms that are set to top each other by $1 keep going and going and going. this stuff starts to spiral out of control which is really the kind of thing that you should -- we should b afraid of with
6:16 pm
movesike this. neil: you lost me there and algorithms. my worry is it was not individuals human beings to way to a file. when they collected those phone records, and million of them. they are sitting on aesk or in our hard drive for a human being to seize or to act on, should he or she feel it is necessary? i feel very little comfort, especially for any fans of 2001 space odyssey that the machine will be any less lethal because, as i remember, it was the mission would not open as certain door, not good for the astronaut who wanted said bob door opened. so if we are looking for this to be a reflection of a more open nsa we have another think coming. >> this is out a move toward
6:17 pm
trsparency. this makes it harder to tell what is going on. what is funny, the nsa director gave a speech that as cyber security conference this week. he ended it by saying if you guys -- you should make up your mind and get all the facts yourself. which would be great if they would give us the facts, but what uc was moves like this to order to increase their own lack of transparency,heir own internal protections to make sure that there permission cannot give up, what you see is they're making moves to ensure you connecticut information neil: i called that. a very astute observation. you are not telling us the facts. it is very hard. forget it. thank you very muc meanwhile, no surprise, the president would be doing a little behind the scenes palin. prately with big technology
6:18 pm
executives. we are told it will put their minds at ease. no one is talking about what is happening at this meeting of what is said, not exactly putting my next guests mind that these. ways good to have you. what are we to make of this? when authorities tried to tell me come down, look at the facts, that the present the facts, they keep telling me to calm down and i get more revelation that they are looking into what is supposedly just phone calls in d text messages and where i serve, i am not coming down. >> most american people and those arou the world are not at this point either. that is a public relations nightmare to say the least. you have the meeting the president obama had or of the founding fathers of the internet. good to have those meetings. there are so many different
6:19 pm
things that these people can talk about and can keep that cooversation confidential and to keep it out of the public discourse when, in fact are really there is a need for more publ disco at this juncture to. neil: you have always been on the inner circle of guys, you know, crunching things and all. i am always on the outside looking in, and it bothers me -hen i see a closed door. what is going on, especially if it concerns me? and i am paying the guys behind the closed door or i am a shareholder of the guys behind the closed door. they are having a closed-door meeting with the duly elected president of the estates and there not telling me squad. >> and it is in a democracy that is an absolute or rita people have to have. the thing -- the crux of the tter is, internal to the nsa one of the problems that they have had is that they have gone from a need to know mentality
6:20 pm
which was keep everything secret and everything under wraps to a need to share mentality. because there was so much sharing a lot of disinformation was getting out. on the one hand it is good because there is the public debate about what is going on and why it is going on. on the other hand, therere the source and methods issue from an intelligence perspective, ho do i protect what i am doing as long as it is legalo that the bad guys did not know what i am doing it we can still catch the bad guys. there is always that problem you run into. neil: i don't know, but it is alwa good having you. >> my pleasure. neil: it just bothers me on the level of calmed down. everything will be all right. don't worry yourretty little ad. they don't fool me because my head is not pretty or little, but i get the point. calmed down, masses. something is wrong. something is wrong.
6:21 pm
that is just me. meanwhile, if you want to take a hike in california, they tried it and wondering how it is then missed it. sales taxes.

6:22 pm
6:24 pm
>> plenty of money. neil: it turns out that democratic congressman was not just some tax as bender, but just more honest about it because come to california my friends were politicians are cooking up taxes that would make the congress and proud. after all of this it did not bring in enough sales taxes. in fact, it brought in less. so now that trip to the dentist.
6:25 pm
clever, but costly. very costly. you say not a smart move because it is a zero sum game. explain. >> it is also not a surprise. this happens all the time when states and countries try to raise taxes on various services or products or income. big projections that they throw out there, rosy projections saying this is the panacea. this will fix our problems. it is this one thing, this last time and we are done. surprise surprise, projections don't bear out and the revenue goal is not met. they sit around looking and think what happened and start scrounging for more tax increases. it is a spiral that goes down or which is why california has seen so many people and businesses leaving because it is just open
6:26 pm
season on businesses and successful people in that state. neil: turn around and say, at least rihanna looking at praise and state incomeax. what do you think? >> i find it ridiculous that a family in los angeles already has to pay and 9 percent tax living in l.a., the city tax. add that on to their rent and food and health care. how is it that a family -- neil: the food is exempt. what they're talking about is over a certain amount it might not be. >> absolutely not. california has a $407 billion debt, over $10,000 per citizen of california. the family has to make a budget and a lot to the give more money to a state that cannot mage its budget or expanding or instead. they don't have the money. that is why the sales tax is a working. if californians had the money, i'm a californian, we like to spend the money. if we don't have it we will be buying things. they will try to jab them even harder.
6:27 pm
neil: i do mind it. i'm not going to get into that. what i find odd is that far more creative coming up with ways tax you than to just cut back on the spending. >> let's just get some proper context year. we are talking about is two years ago a bipartin group of kind of california wise men including many business leaders came together and said we have to deal with the state fiscal situation becse we keep having these s&ls. what it proposes to of restructure and broaden the sales tax which right now just hits goods and we now have an economy where some much money is spent on services. neil: you're right about that. but he's not saying service has been replaced. >> exactly. only half of california's $2 trillion economy and all sales of goods. and so that sales tax which was created back in the 40's is missing a lot.
6:28 pm
neil: i will even grant you that >> with a also want to do is cut back the persona income tax. neil: that part they have not done yet. i hear it the wording. i am old enough to remember w wn the first pursued the value-added tax. it was only going to be small. and then they would eventually lead to removing country's income tax. now we know thatn many countries it is north of 20 percent, closing in on 30% and those income-tax rates have not go away. fat is the pattern with this sort of thing. they parents, taxes on goods will stay and that taxes on the underlying servicee will state. the double whammy will stay. >> that is what the play. it is a trade-off. we will raise this tax to daybed don't worry, tomorrow we will reform matt lower. and then, hey, actually, the
6:29 pm
revenue did not work out so well, so we won't touch the second part of the deal. the problem in california is not that half of their goods and services are not being taxed enough. the problem ithey're not competitive. people don't want to move there are open businesses there because it is not a place where you are rewarded for that sort of business which grows the economy. completely dominated by -- they have the second worst credit rating. number one -- number 50 agassi should say is illinois. neil: but would you agree that if you are going to update the tax cut and look at how it did not reflect and does not reflect the times it may be that that is a good way to go about it. my only fear and distinction is that they don't draw the same type of distinction with cutting spending.
6:30 pm
>> they are not cutting anything in california. the problem they have is a $400 billion dt. and i hear politicians talking about trying to squeeze citizens for more money, that tells me they are not paying attention to the needs of the citizens. they jt raised it. proposition 30 was passed by the people and is not working. it appears to show that people are not spending because they n't have revenue. the state is being unfair to citizens. people leaving. governor perry has appealed to the state and brought many businesses out of california. they're fleeing the state. it has become an entitlement state. ne: i was just in califora, and for some reason i still saw a lot of peopl there. it's beautiful. i take nothing away from the state, but when you are a businessman and hear what is going on, the sifting around, if you had your choice and did not know where to move to, looking at california, texas, all i know is that california is
6:31 pm
a mishmash of various taxes excise fees, so many things. my accounts wi be up 24 hours is trying to figure out. >> the stronge part of the u.s. economyn recent years has been a tight economy which has been based in large part in cifornia. start-ups all the time. neil: a lot more in taxes. >> this idea that california is not cutting spending. they have draconian spending cuts under governor brown and it has raised taxes. and now have a balanced budget. this is a good example of what the federal vernment needs to do. neil: wait a minute. you're using california as an example? >> once upon a time before we had a strong republicans the way you balanced budgets was raised taxes and cut spending. neil: once upon a time before we have extreme liberals we had an openness to cutting taxes. >> kneele, i am just saying, look at the example of
6:32 pm
california that has a balanced budget and the example of washington the federal government, which does not. neil: a junk debt state. >> california has more millionaires than every state that mit romney won together. neil: we could argue it forever. we will have you guys back. i don't know. in the meantime, what is the difference between jumbo shrimp and it is congressmen's undocumented citizens line. one was funny and the evi announcer: where can an investor be a name and not a number? scottrade. ron: i'm never alone withscottr. i caalways call or stop by my local office. they're nearby and ready to helpso when i have questions, i can talk to someonwho knows exactly how i trade. because i don't trade like everybody. i trade like me. that's why i'm with scottrade.

♪ neil: the president cannot call a terrorist terrorist. >> make no miske, we will work with the libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attack our people. we will bring to justice those who took them from us. there should be no d doubt thate will be relentless in tracking down the killers and bringing them to justice. neil: but now republicans cannot call illegal immigrants illegal immigran. >> i think and documents of -- citizens should have to come forward, have t sell to entify, pay a penalty in back taxes. neil: getting heat for calling illegal immigras undocumented citizens at a town hall of event. but multitrillion-dollar immigration bill limning, time
6:36 pm
for political correctness in overdrive? pricing, never really solve any problems. he was trying to save, let's move on to solve this problem, but by calling an illegal citizen or undocumented citizen, you are not a citizen if you are undocumented. he compounded the problem. >> it is scary, troubling, and i will tell you why. big, giant, mega movement. we're talking about redistribution of wealth. some house someone who's back into america illegally has become the victim. someone who has been able to live off the system, put the kids in the school, obviously live better re than they could in their own home cou become the victim. this citizen victim, the undocumented citizen victim that somehow details of turned and we have to treat this whole thing with kid gloves. one of the reasons we have not been able to come up with any sort of comprehensive agreement as we are not being honest.
6:37 pm
someoneommitted a cri. they have done enough to redress that, that's one thing. they are not citizens, but we would like to fix that. neil: the same thing that drives us to want to double the minimum wage. the hike may be, but had troubling not. becomes a laughingstock. to even p pursue how you pay for that or even fixing the illegal immigration mess, how you pay for that. all lost in the sauce. >> political correction gone amok. just really amok. no one is thinking -- really the narrative wholeheartedly the president believes that there is so much money in this country that there should be shared wealth. neil: you are we afraid of defending? >>entialoters. neil: when you use lines like undocumented citizens, intends to learn not to are you afraid you are going to tick off latino voters illegally?

>> if you know when to medic -- mexico city and right now there's a long liner we cut in front everyone in their mind to provide would lose their mind. everyone would go crazy. neil: but you would be to mop. >> the point is even people who have done it the legal weight, the narrative have been such that they have sympathy for others to hop over and have not done is illegal way. i find that to be very interesting and compelling. overall i would lov to see the balance of the population fix this because i guarantee you, if it is not heavily latino now, they must be on their way the. this is also a former pandering. believe me. i am one to tell republicans all the time, be careful about not pandering. i say all the time coca-cola is the best non brand in the world, but in china they sell the product and mandarin. you want to tell your misses to a group of people in the way they understand, but this is a form of pandering.
