prosecutor fred tecce and former nsa official john schindler. thanks to both of you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. melissa: fred, let me start with you. >> great to be here. melissa: were you surprised by the ruling and do you think it holds up? >> i was not surprised by this, melissa. i spent years as prosecutor and i refused to do criminal defense work i thought what the nsa does is violation of fourth amendment rights. it may not hold up on procedural ground whether a u.s. district court can review orders out of a secret court. we will see what is next. melissa: do you think a class-action lawsuit is next? that has been threatened. >> the haifa loose if i on class action lawsuits, it is lawyer emfair independent employment act. some lawyer will charge verizon 10 of millions of dollars to defend themselves. subscribers will get gift certificate good towards

next purchase after verizon cell phone. i'm not sure what it gets you. you laugh,. melissa: you do a lot of good jokes. they go by quick. there are a lot of good jokes in there. john, let me ask you. i'm a paying customer. i feel like i have a choice out there but, the government he's listening everywhere. i don't trust them even with the ruling to back off. am i save anywhere? what about skype? what about face time, is there anything safer than anything else? >> first, it is great to be here with someone as cynical as i am about all of this. melissa: two people. >> kindred spirit. >> exactly. there's really no telecommunications platform of any kind that is completely impervious to surveillance, it doesn't exist. i also want people to understand, there are a lot of people listening in out l it is not just nsa. if you're a business person, you're a political figure you're great interest to foreign intelligence agencies, not nsa. melissa: who is the best at it,

john? who is the best as it listening in? is our government, private companies, who's the best? >> well it depends. obviously in some ways nsa is the best signals intelligence agency in the world but obviously the companies have access to your data far more than nsa does, probably more vulnerable to them. not to mention we give it to them voluntarily. >> here is the big difference. they can't put me in jail, okay? they can't violate my constitutional rights. only the government can do that. melissa: great point. >> i'm very cynical about this but i'm, i was a federal prosecutor and for the first time in my life when i hear stuff like this i get a little nervous. why is, why do we have a huge data dump system being built in utah? why -- melissa: because, fred, it is all about terrorism. it is all about stopping terrorists. you don't buy that. >> i'm with you, melissa. that is erstwhile goal. we were sound asleep before 9/11. those days are long over. if you want to stop terrorism, want to put a cop in everybody's house and camera on over phone

pole? that will stop terrorism. where do we draw the line. >> look, i don't want to put a cop in everyone's house either. nsa doesn't either and we don't have the personnel anyway. on the metadata issue -- melissa: they want to put a microphone in everyone's house and listen to everything going on. >> or a tv to look both ways. melissa: they go back and listen to it. john, go ahead, i'm sorry. >> yeah, look this is, the metadata program is vital to the nsa's counterterrorism program since 9/11. senator feinstein today, the chair of the senate intelligence committee said the issue will wind up in the supreme court as an american citizen i think that is where it needs to be adjudicate. but let me say this the metadata program is not a threat to your privacy unless you are in bed with al qaeda, talking to terrorists. >> john, how can you possibly say that? they're using a vacuum cleantory suck up my emails. hang on. hang on. >> i've done this. melissa: john, let me ask you, they're using a giant vacuum

cleaner to vacuum up all of our emails and voice mails and all our conversations. >> no, no, no. melissa: decide later what they want to listen to. where is that wrong. >> no this is metadata only. okay, let's say this, is metadata. the to from and time of the call. it is not content itself. nsa has no ability to go back and look at a previous conversation. they are not collecting that. let me make this very cllar. if they want to collect -- melissa: i don't know that is true. when they brought in the head of the nsa -- >> do know that is true. melissa: the head of nsa lied in front of congress when he testifying. they said are you listening to the calls, do you have the ability? i wish i had hits name in front of me and he said no, we're not authorized to do that but he didn't say we didn't do it. >> that's true. melissa: he didn't say we didn't do it, can't do it. he said that is not our mission. >> capability to do it, doesn't mean they are doing. i can tell you how the procedure actually works. i have done it. >> first of all, i understand

what you're saying, john, there is wo points to all this. this is packized data. metadata and information is out there. i disagree, the district court, the judge recognized this in his opinion took me a long time to read and 91 pages we'll put that aside, he recognized there was a big factual issue with respect how broadly the nsa could look at this stuff. you and i know it is packettized data and metadata wouldn't be listening i would be amazed if the nsa doesn't have the ability to go back look at content. >> they don't. simply don't. melissa: you have great answers. i hope you will come back. we didn't solve it. we need to. >> great to be here. >> thank you. @elissa: which is worse for americans and economy, income inequality or unemployment? does one problem cause the either? what's the relationship? that debate is coming up next. think about it during the commercial. tweet me. tell me what you think. inequality and unemployment. are you missing out on

melissa: so have you heard the expression, if you don't have a solution you're just part of the problem? what about picking the problem? which is worse, income inequality or unemployment? they are both hot topics right now. we've got wage wars in full swing. many seem to be forgetting all the people that could lose their jobs all together. so which would you choose to fix first? here to debate it, fox news contributor steve moore and economist harry dent. thanks to both of you for joining us. you know a lot of this arose from a editorial from "the washington post", ezra klein talking about pick your problem and the frayedoff. steve moore, do you accept the principle there is trade why you have between -- >> no i don't. no, i don't. melissa: you don't? >> if you look in the 19780's, 1990s we had rapid reductions in unemployment, melissa and incomm disparities actually became narrower except the at very top.

people at very top who did better. my philosophy about this, as kennedy and reagan said, if you have a rising tide it lifts all boats. people don't care about inequality, melissa, if they're doing better themselves. melissa: maybe you get into the get the problem with one or the oertingerring with it trying to come up with a government solution. for example, when you raise the minimum wage, we cite it on the show, economists from cornell university, if we raise the minimum wage to $10.10, they estimate through mathematics we will lose half a million jobs. harry what do you think? is there a tradeoff trying to micromanage the economy? >> especially when the government is stimulating the economy. steve's right, '80s, '90s everybody won but after the '90s, you know the rich got better and wages have gone down. inequality has gotten worse again and it is highest since 1929 here in 2007 and again in 2013. the government is trying to

stimulate the economy by goosing financial assets because you can't get banks to lend in an overexpanded economy with too much debt. i know steve would agree with that. we have too much debt, not too little debt. this is the wrong solution. but here's my thing, from the long term point of view greatest bubbles burst when inequality were at levels like this, 1929, 2007, and 2013. >> what is the bubble that will burst right now? >> same thing but inequality is worse. melissa: you're saying that bubbles have burst when we've seen levels like they are. are you saying there's a bubble right now that is going to burst? is it equities? what is it? >> yes, absolutely 100%, if this bubble doesn't burst next year or two i will hang up my economic hat. >> i will hold you to that. melissa: it will be really sad you said that on national television. >> in the last five years the last bubble burst when they advanced 100% from 2002 to 2007. this equity bubble is going to burst. it is all from stimulus. all going into speculation.

not into lending and not new jobs and capacity because the economy already peaked and already overexpanded from previous overstimulus. which again, steve would have to agree with. >> this is not where this conversation was supposed to go but that is interesting point. >> that is a good conversation. melissa: but as the conversation goes where it goes. steve moore, what do you think about that? harry's not alone. he is dire and he is dramatic, may be alone in that but what do you think about his reasoning. >> i have great respect for harry. i read many of his books and agree with him at lost time. i don't agree with you here, harry. the reason i don't look, washington is paralyzed right now. it can't do much of anything. all of the negatives on the economy that we saw in obama's first term are kind of going away except for obamacare. you're not seeing a huge surge in spending. you're not seeing a massive increase in debt. debt is going up but not nearly as fast as it was three or four years ago. i see the policy environment in washington becoming somewhat bullish. i think 2014 is going to be a

great year because washington is not standing in the way. melissa: do wheels come off eventually though? >> they always do. but the question is when? when? melissa: how can we continue down this road? when will we see runaway inflation with all the money-pumping we've done you. >> will not see runaway inflation. melissa: why, harry. >> no way to create inflation. the economy is overinflated. it is trying to deleverage and the government is trying to prevent deleveraging debt. high real estate, high stock prices are terrible for the next generation trying to come along invest in the future, to buy a house. we're killing our economy by saving the damn banks. and that is what the government's they're putting money if banks. killing middle class. look at surveys of 08% of people say no recovery since the great recession. 20%, the college, educated, one o.w.n. all the assets government is inflate something better than ever. that is not a good look for future. >> how in the world are higher stocks prices and higher housing

prices bad for the next generation? who will inherit all this stuff. >> how will you buy a house steve, if you're 25 years old and it is $800,000. melissa: buying stock first. >> how will you invest in the stock market with such high valuations that the predictions of 1 to 3% gains for next 10 to 20 years? you're killing the next generation to save the banks. forget the banks. melissa: but, harry, you're saying that the stock market is going to collapse though. what will cause that to happen? >> i am saying it will collapse in the next two years. melissa: when will it happen? >> i think stocks peak in the first quarter next year. we'll be in recession by second or third quarter because they have stretched this bubble. look the previous bubbles -- melissa: what pricks the bubble? what is the event. harrr, harry hang on, we're running out of time. what is the event that finally bursts this equity bubble? people are wondering that for a long time. you think it is coming what's the cause? >> the fed has created so many more new bubbles the bubbles burst. southern europe, greece and

spain are seeing bad loans going straight up while people are saying they're recovering. china has greatest real estate and overinvestment bubble in history of. its ready to burst. the u.s. real estate recovery is almost all speculation, no real buyers. all three of these things along with rising interest rates are going to create a downturn next year. >> bubble is in higher education. that is only bubble. >> i agree with that, steve. melissa: that wasn't what we were supposed to talk about but i thought it was highly entertaining. i hope the audience did too. thanks to both of you. >> thank you. melissa: online ads ruining all of your holiday surprises? if you're not careful savvy kids and spouses can figure out exactly what their gifts are just by seeing ads in your browser. did you realize this? a tech expert shows us how to keep online and keep santa's secrets. plus during flu season you may think anti-bacterial soap is the key to warding off germs but fda says not only is there no

price, what is your press price, i will give you half? you. >> want to say it more nuanced. what we're not used to in this country is negotiating prices. overall people have the issue with negotiating. melissa: for cars, jewelry, not for lipstick. >> but you can. that is the interesting part about this. prices are not necessarily fixed in retail stores. and, as you said we have 174 hours before we put gifts under trees. melissa: how do i get started? what do i say? >> you shouldn't be so aggressive. melissa: that is going to be hard but go ahead. >> me too. go approach the person and say, i really want this piece. i really want this product but i don't know if i can afford it. is there something you can do for me. nicer that you are, better chance you have for the price to go down. >> what kind ever stores do you have the best luck? one of our producers went into

tiffany's and buying a piece of jewelry and was nuanced. is there any way you can do better on the price? do you have something else, and, it didn't work, bottom line, didn't work. >> with luxury retailers those prices are fixed and they can't budge on that because of margins. dealing with department stores, you remember five years ago, saks fifth avenue had the fire-sale because they had all this product and no one was purchasing things. the last thing retailers want to do is have product on those shelves. and you're actually helping the retailers by getting that product out, by negotiating with them, to try to get the better price so that product will come out of the stores. melissa: so i pick saks? >> saks fifth avenue is luxury retailer. melissa: who might negotiate. >> macy's. nordstrom. tj maxx. go all the way down to dollar discounters. melissa: by we run out of time, you reached the day where you order stuff online, all of sudden you're panicking doesn't

if you say no, you have been there and didn't buy. >> that's a good point but usually when you look at that sort of a business model, especially with airlines, actually, when trying to buy tickets. they know when you left. they hike the prices. when it comes to amazon and best buy and stuff like that sure you might get a deal but i don't think, if you're shopping with prime, right, it is set price. that is the way it is going to go. you will not find a more expensive price point. you're still good. use incognito mode. use clear the history. shop from tablet or smartphone. that is another way to do it, not using computer. i love this topic. i was shopping with my wife. we share a desktop computer. she comes on to do her shopping, holy cow, did i leave something up on amazon? thankfully i didn't. i have a little secret here. what i like to do after i'm done shopping for things i will start searching for other things we might need in the household anyway like towels or paper towels or food items. that is what comes up. they come up on the computer,

of course hitting the jackpot is that much harder. melissa: and i heard on the radio that sense the change the rules that no one has won the big jackpot. i mean, from a commercial standpoint it is clever because you keep the big number growing, growing, growing if no one wins, which brings all this publicity. we are all talking about it. the same time you have smaller winners. so that is good. more people walking around saying, at least one something. >> is definitely good for business. in virginia the lottery coordinator says that 70 percent of all of their tickets are bought on jackpot date. if you extrapolate that across a $1 billion jackpot or even the one that we have tonight, it could be extremely good for business for them to increase their odds and they can have more small prizes. melissa: but your chances of winning are so incredibly small. i mean to make use to be one in 176 million. that was a chance of winning. now it's one in 259 million.

this was a power baltica that was sold on november 16th at roca's bakery and deli in brighton beach, brooklyn. people are still buzzing about this. this person does not know they have the ticket. november 16th. 130 million. what do you think happened? with a drug? >> if i were drunk and i bought the ticket and found out it would take me out of the truck and stupor right away. melissa: what happened to this person? did they get hit by a boss? >> maybe it was misplaced. things happen. slip of paper. melissa: the precious slip of paper. hundred and $30 million the paper. thank you so much. did you buy a ticket? >> i have not. are you? you going to? melissa: allied last night and said that about one, but i haven't. i know now. on your dime. if you're looking for an extra chance to get a piece of a big payout, one company is willing to share. i like this.

jackpot. i think we're gonna share with everybody. we won't exclude people that like this before we put it up. melissa: if you happen to win, you're going to have to wait like does it cost you more to go of a business and run away with the money and never come of anger teeseven a ton of angry customers which kind of who cares because i have a billion dollars. it's better than sharing. start a new business under another name of all new identity or you can really divvy up the money with all the people like to. >> that is a moral dilemma we would have to face, but on confident we would make the right choice and divvy up the money properly. out of the deck lid my parents and the guy if we did not split the properly. melissa: unless you give them a whole bunch of money. you could bring in in on a. how much activity have you seen since this happened to make them many people have liked you on facebook correspondent on twitter? >> a ton of engagement which is really was such a meeting is
