♪ ♪ logo. ♪ >> the nsa, get out of the way. tonight, the pressure is on. people are sayg enough is enough. ♪ ♪. he won welcome, everyone. i am liz macdonald. a panel appointed by president barack obama obama recommended strict lmits to the nsa spying program and this comes after a u.s. judge ruled the program unconstitutional. it looks like leary's legal battle could be paying off.
11:01 pm
>> and grabbing the on the show. liz: you have been under fire. you have sued opec, you have sued your own mother. the critics have been out in force thing that he hopes that one out of 10 wi have. what you think your critics? >> none of those are frivolous. i was protecting my grandmother and my stepdad had taken a do not resuscitate stands. they want to destroy the messenger because we have repeated this about benghazi and obamacare and now about the nsa as well. and you saw this with the
11:02 pm
democrat party, the democratic national committee, ffrey toobin is known to be an advocate. the on beyond the critics are coming out and saying, larry i totally wrong. the constitution is not a suicide pact. we need to prtect americans. you don't protect americans i haven'fielded every time you pick up the phone or use social media that they are being watched. and people like me who are critical and more than critical, have bee calling for civil disobedience and peaceful way. to try teliminate the carrying out we had at the other two branes of government. and it's clear what the nsa is doing. the american people can't live in a soviet style chinese state. that is exactly why the judge
11:03 pm
ruled and this is a federal judge who came up through the system. he is a hero and he stood there for the american people. and we want to monitor what goes on the judge needs to take control here. >> beyond larry, here's the thing. the real weakness could be the contractors that the government hires to work on the nsa programs. what do you make of that? but the private sector contractors are the weak links link that we should be worried about? >> the one we week is them, of course. but not just with regard to the nsa, but leading up to 9/11, those at were dog security. they let the 17 hijackers go right straight through. there needs to be controlled here. and we need to have supervision
11:04 pm
and a few judge would stickhis neck out like that. anth's wwat we need. we nd court supervision. liz: be found at judicial watch. was the judicial watch audited on of the is in the '90s? >> yes, it was not by accident. a week later, i got a leter auditing this come asking for my political affiliation. and we were cleared, obviously. but that was a intimidation tactic and we see and hear what the nsa. li larry, thank you for joining us. with programs on the nsa, no wonder americans are fuming. a new gallup poll shows that nearly three out of four americans say big governnt is the biggest concern in tthe country, easily beating out big labor and big buness.
11:05 pm
we have cranky we. >> or the department of justice tapping the phone lines of the associated press and other journalists and another situation wherdoes the government can't even protect or help the people tere. and youalso have obamacare. not only for not providing people health care, but it's taking up the there with t people that already have it. i think the promise of big government under barack obama is proving to be a big lie. liz: here's the thing.
11:06 pm
there's alot of concern on the part of americs. >> we see the big growth of government and how individual liberty is being undermined because of it. and just take the smar phones. if i send an e-mail and i've got governmeet looking at it. if i make a phone callnd do a google search. they are in daer. if i eoll in obamacare, and if i ave kids with the common core, my kids infmation is in washington. so this is in violation of our rights and our privacy and as americans. americans are becoming far more aware of the dangers of a centralized power and big government. liz: you know, craig makes an
11:07 pm
interesting point. that is that americans are becoming more aware. jennifer, here's the thing. i am not equaing the united states and south american country. but i will say friends of mine in venezuela and other parts of south america have said that americans should wake up because we were the same as you and here comes the government encroaching upon us, we ignored it, we blew it off, we set it aside, and the government is on their back doorstep. >> i thnk that is correct. look at china. in 1949 from the communists came in and they started to take away this and said we're doing this to keep you safe. and enact programs and i'm not making a statemen and what i am saying is that this idea that there is some type of government and the greater angel that is going to come d take care of you, wheth it's the presidt or a bureaucrat or someo else, it is just not possible. the only program that can take care of you is yourself.
11:08 pm
if you put your own freedom and power into the government, it will continue to amount to this for yourself, it will take away your rights by taking away your mone by undercutting economic power in and removing your other rights. that is exactly what we see happening. liz: americans don't want to live day to day worrying about what the government does. they just want to say, oka the government should go do their thing. i'm paying my taxes. but what jenna as saying is that government is populated by human beings just like us. and we need to be on guard, watch out for them. what do you make of that? >> absolutely. it was said that government corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. the fact is when you have bureaucrats, controlling without accountability.
11:09 pm
and this is the danger of governnt and why it is so important that we have individual liberties. liz: it's interesting. because there's no downside to this. but as nicholas said, the czar nicholas said there are unaccountabable clerks and there are a lot of em. but what you guys are talking about. it's of the regulators and government. >> it wasn't a happy ending. >> can you find the point quickly? >> absolutely, what we have to do isget control of the bureaucracy and downsize it, moving in the direction where we have the irs abuses, the potential government abuses. liz: next, cozying up to the

11:14 pm
visited the white house to give president obama a copy of this vie. so what do you make of this? >> don't think anyone should beesurprised. hollywd has been the biggest backer for the last two election cycles both locally and also financially and i think it would be big news if barack obama actually turned down a meeting to hang out with leonardo dicaprio and martin scorsese. they have beenanging out with awa-winning actors and directors and it's a loteasier and more fun than governing and so nobody should be surprised. liz: his character was a really bad guy. he was a really bad guy, he took money from little old ladies and dispense it on cocaine and anything that he wanted. really decadent, really hedonistic. you think the white house is making hay out of this? >> well, i wouldn't be
11:15 pm
surprised. it's in the script for barack obama to paint himself the champion of the lile guy. and so here is where hollywood lacks creativity. for the last three decades we have seen movies about how wall street is just a bastion of financial irresponsibility, that is nothing new. if martin scorsese wanted to be a vanguard and produce something out of the box, there would be a movie that focuses on how big government and big business work hand in hand to screw over the little guy and to have these crony type of connection so we have connections that we have seen ripley with the obama administration where taxpayers get a deal on those whohave political connections benefit financially. but yes, again, that would put the obama white house under the microscopend hollywood is not going to do that again. liz: okay, so you're saying that cylinder the movie is not coming.
11:16 pm
[lghter] >> it's not just well and drive. again, we have seen wall street as evil over the last thre decades, and it's nothing new. but the real story underlines that theme is how big government is always the enforcer to make sure that those with political connections make out financially whethe it is through eminent domain and there isexample after example of of this and hollywood will always make wall street in general perceived as evil and villainous. so again, it is a pedestrian storyline that we have seen over and over again. liz: thank you so much for joining us tonight. we appreciate it. next up, five years and 10 billion bucks later. neil cavuto's warning about this that he gave five years ago today. see for yourlf how his stunning productioname true.

>> ford was a pprticipant i this is part of the tarp setup. liz: will hang on a second. >> ford took money because they were afraid of the competitive disadvantage relative to chrysler and gm. the government took their share and general motors. it's not alone. the gornment cou've sold that and they could have sold them then or later. but the risk of not doing that, 2.6 million jobs. and you avoid having to pay unemployment benefits and pension benefits in excess of $50 billion. they have invested $10 million in infrastructure in this

11:25 pm
and i will take my real 2 million american workers can you imagine the psychological impact thatthis economy if they let the automobile industry be a part of this? liz: you it this important point very well. but this has been a part of decades. >> that's right, they really gave away the access to the company with these contracts. and over time the government did not allow t marketplace to rk to make sure that they could be a partof this and this

11:31 pm
we have 17 democratic seats up in the midterm. >> my guess is that the way that this sort without overtime, people who are eligiblefor subsidies or medicaid or have it with the existing condition where a catastrophic illness don't think that this ca be popular. liz: may be t your point, let's get to another rest. and 6% are saying that they are not going to get insurancey march 31 in what you make of that? >> if massachusetts is any indication, people did wait until the last minute, but ultimately those for whom will be a better deal than it may be
