Obama Defends PRISM and Banking Security

President Obama credits surveillance programs for the success of the Bin Laden raid and claims the public should have confidence in existing checks and balances. He refers to certain cybercriminals as "yokels" and argues the government must engage with the private sector to protect banking and medical records. The hosts argue that private institutions, not the government, should be responsible for their own security.
