Nick Gillespie Talks NSA, Janet Yellin, Obama, and More on HuffPostLive

I just appeared on HuffPostLive in a segment hosted by Alyona Minkovski. We talked about the NSA, Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, et al; Janet Yellin at the Fed; whether Obama is controlling the media; and why establishment liberals and conservatives are freaking out that progressives, right-wingers, and libertarians are coming together over issues of national security, government overreach, drug legalization, and more.
