you beauty presint obama region with little more than a slap of a secret decoder come a decode this. no way. he still has carte blanche to snoop on you and me. welcome, everyone, i am neil cavuto. president obama said he had no idea. so much of the metadata mining.

and many dado records and bank records and then for the presidento say stop soaring all of those records, that is one for the too much to believe record. and the bottom the nsa has been shaen but not stirred and clearly not stopped. as an agency that is abusive, far from arrested. so for all of those that think that this is ending, it is providiig a few weeks a cover for spies who might temporarily go into hiding. because that is the thing about james bond. how many times a day tried to kill him and couldn't. and lots of mone and spies. that is why there was sky fall and that is why for size the sky will never fall. still serious and still upset.

arry is here and he just said that they are risking doing something that is unconstitutional. do any of the presidents actions to bece for today? >> no, you're absolutely rit in your analysis here. first of all, this never would've come to life if not for edward snowden in mid-september and mid-december. the reality is that obama got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and the nsa has to come up with an excuse. and today put in charge of making the so-called reforms? james clapper, the director of national intelligence who committed perjury to congress and lied and said they were not spying and eric holder of "fast and furious" and irs gate, he has also lied to congress.

it is powerful and influential. and it's very likely that anything will happen. niel: so they throw thisone and then another line. no matter how many lines that we draw in the sand, people just kicked the sand right back in the notion is that the president really doesn't mean what he says. you mention what is going on in the justice department and what is going on within the nsa and i look at the irs with an investigation that has been downgraded one that won't involve any criminal charges. >> and that is the problem. we have a government wh

corrupt leaders. those that don't tell the truth, whether it's any of these scandals or obamacare or whatever. but the reality here is that we are not against leitimate spying. and why was it necessary to get the metadata? it doesn't mean at the government isn't when access it.

niel: edward schmidt is going to talk to us about this. so bill, i'm going to you first. it is your expertise that has led to this crisis. >> one of the things that we suggested to the white house and the congress as one of the things th they should do to help perform nsa, it is to have a set that technical people are assigned to. because they are in the pocket of the agency. but all of congress where they are cleared and can go into the nsa and all the networks and the databases and see what is there. see the processes thathey are doing and verify what they actually have had and are doing and make sure that everythin

they say to the court sent to the congress and the administration and the republic is true. theyare raining an end. >> howard? >> yes, and that is one of the issues that we wind up dealing with this kind of figure out what are those boundaries and intelligence pieces that we need while at the sam time protecting priva and civil liberties. it's really interesting. not as often as he talked about

homeland security and protection of citizens. niel: what i worry about is that the balance between us, a lot of free speeches ad it is focusing on the2 degrees around a bad guy. like a terrorist group and that doesn't quite go far enough. it just talks about analysis. and that will lemonade that collection d also will satisfy the citizens of the united of states.

>> well, that is what the issue of transparency and openness that we had after /11. and that is one piece that we would have the inside to do it. and that is with congress. congress hears one side of the story and they don't hear the entire piece of it and they don't understand the technology. so as a consequence they are on the side of the intelligence that says we will support this. niel: thank you both so much. the president is trying to tamp the nsa scandal down. but it keeps flaring up. need a guy who says they are

niel: hack attacks that hit more than thousands of customers. robert says the target reach may also have hit others as well and it may not just stop with them. so what makes you think that this is coming from that neckf the woods. and it could be caught up in this. >> neiman marcus hasn't disclosed how much information has been breached. it seems that targets data is the information that was hcked. and i'm not sure that it was properly recorded. in the code shows russian language built into them aware. so it looks like there was a possibility that organized crime is behind this.

>>o you think that we should raise theinimum wage so that those workers can earn a living ge and not have to get medicaid or food stamps? niel: senator bernie sanders over income inequality. liz macdonald said this is gting nasty and ugly and it is a deflection away from washington's promises.

what do you say? reporter: these arguments are raising the minimum wage, a lot of people get it and it's a great argument. and the senator has been for months now attacking the walton family and putting this is an inequality issue at the time that media outlets including fox business, that we do provide retiree benefits and we do provide great an fect in term of free health care, ffee vaccinaons. and it's kind of a diversion away from the bad washington dc policies that are creating income inequality. ni: this health care laws getting prohibitively more expensive. there is a far better health insurance policy for its

workers. >> i tnk wal-mart is a much better employer th it was 10 years ago. it provides a lot of health benefits and wages are going up and i don' kw if putting this on the debate is the right thing or the wrong thing to do at that we should be raising the minimum wage and that was something we used to do routinely in this country from 1961 through 1981. we raised the minimum wage 14 times in 30 years and we have been more stingy about raising it. if you're working full time you'll you will be able to live a decent life. niel: i can see the argument for minimum wage. but having said that, i think it misses a bigger point with wal-mart.

those that had health insurance cheap, affordable health insurance. and only one o of eight workers did the shots that they offer. reporter: that's right, they say say that wal-mart is a low-priced shopping venue. and the thinn is that when you look at this whole debate it's part of a broader picture that you're going to see basically in this midterm election year. we are in an economy creating what are called low paying jobs. families are trying to raise their children needing the 8-dollar or 9-dollar or 10-dollar an hour jobs and it is driving wal-mart into this story. when wal-mart has been under fire for paying low wages. it's the first point about

washington dcpolicies and also the benefit packages that wal-mart is giving. >> we are losing sight of that. that leaves the american consumer that might or might not be perfectly willing in the belief is that they will happily pay more. consumers are picky and they tend to seek out the lowest cost. >> there was a recent survey of some of the top economist in the couny and what they thought

was the minimum wage that would be good for the country and good for consumers. one third said that for everyone in the and the other third set not so good for everybody and the othersay it is not going to make much of a difference. the thing about this is it affects him a lot and it will make a real difference. so for the entire size of the economy is an isn't infinite amount of the economy and it has very small effect on prices of things and small effects unless you raise it to this and do you think that that would have a substantial issue? >> i think that in most parts of the country if you raise the minimum wage, it would probably have a deleterious effect on employment and probably prices.

if you raise it each hour, i don't think you'd see those effects. neil: just don't get caught behind the wheel. now she has to google more. i'm phyllis and i have diabetic nerve pain. when i first felt the diabetic nerve pain, of cour i had no idea what it was. i felt like my feet were going to sleep. it progressed from there to burning like i was walking on hot coals...

the overpromising commercials still leaving homeowners feeling a little bit like they have some odds. and so we said, your point is what? >> my point is that it's not illegal. the item is not illegal and they actually have other things and bmw, mercedes, all of these other cars, this is not illegal. and you can't stop technology. >> how did you ascertain she had these glasses on? >> she's part of the test study. neil: is very obvious. >> the claim was made by the officer and there are little trees with the snow on them. those are percale as well. neil: so the bottom line is thi is ultimately dismissed, but

your fear is what? >> my fear is that there's a public safety issue. the reason it was dismissed was the officer in th case could not prove that she was actually using the glasses they were on. so it wasn't dismissed on any kind of issue. neil: there were a lot of these upont displays. >> i agree with those other items in their other distractions. just looking at a gps in your car is somewhat of a distraction. so where do you draw the line? welcome and these are things you can do. horseback riding, flying, fire juggling, skydiving. they showed a girl in a wheelchair driving. and i think that people in whlchairs should be able to die. but they were doing directions with glasses and i just think

that there's more to it than that. neil: some of these others announced in the past couple of weeks with pandora, the dashboard displays, you should be driving. where you.line? >> aaa did studies and they said that having the information in front of you, it might be better. because when you are driving from your driving 50 miles per hour. and that car has gone 75 feet and that is the formula so is it better to have it in front of you? >> you are right and this a little bit to the right. but it should probably be limited to only information pertinent to the driver. such as driving and speed limit and directions. it's already there. so all i'm saying is that we can't inhibit technological advancement. it's on the driver and the choice is the driver.

majority of people in their district state and locality are saying that obamacare is not working, they are very quick to run to the other side. and i agree. and republicans are going to stay, let's startover. obamacare is not working. neil: the argument that you hear is they give te plan more time. i think steny hoyer was telling me try six months. >> i think it is going to go the other ways. at the the left is confusing sign-ups with actual pay and there is a fair aunt of sign-ups even though the numbers are low but lower than what the administration wants. but when it comes to actually paying, people just aren't paying and that is something

that comes acros the board. whether it is amazon or ebay or anything. but the number of people sign up for something is always far exceeding the number that they pay. the revenue is a lot less. neil: let's saythat insurance companies are between a rock and a hard place, they will guarantee that they will never be bailed out, could they run up a n on very quickly? could there be a shift in marketplace based on the fortunes of this law? >> definitely.

government should jump in to help them out and they may use executive privilege to do that. neil: you talk about the housing rescues and mortgage rework. maybe they should look at the history ofthis and say that we are not really iroving things we might as well backtalk. >> there are reasons for foreosure and failure in the private sector and again e start out with the idea that everyone isa victim and that if anhing bad happens to anybody, it going to be because they are victim and that is the free market is about. neil: google is now working on smart contact lenses to monitor your glucose levels and even help with diabetes. luckily at home are very skeptical about this. one person saying that like everything they have done, it will probably be followed. and finally, does it hurt your
