in something hume like this, it does not help the economy or markets, get ready for power. see you tomorrow. gerri: tonight on "the willis report" the irs abuses of power scdal widens. >> this is something people are properlyoncerned about >> questions about the government targeting conservative groups. is too much technology making us stupid? we have the details of new research. the best way to navigate the market our panel of financial experts answers our questions. tonight on "the willis report." gerri: the irs over reach is

the top story. the agency tops one negative -op groups and whether the independent agency is becoming a stronger arm for the obama administration. the president goes on the defense calling it outrageous. >> the irs as an independent agency requires absolute integrity and people have to have confidence they are applying it in the non-partisan way. of the laws in a non-partisan way. you should feel that way regardless of party democrat or independent or republican gerri: the hou will investigate with of friday's hearing with kevinrady of texas and a member of that committee. welcome back. good to see you. r this taxpayer hearing a political group was getting

additional scrutiny sent a chill down my spine. i was shocked. what you make of it? >> the same here. i.r.a. strikes fear in the hearts of law-abiding families and businesses and the thought they may be targeting you based on your political leanings is frightening. and it is troubling this could be occurring over two years that despite congress repeated attempts to get to the bottom of it the irs has denied this occurred even the white house was so there is a lot of questions. gerri: there is. the white house spokesn said with the road of irs agents thatis clearly not true the clothes you get to this story and it seems it goes further up the chain of command. how far do you think it goes ? >> i don't know b my experience with the irs is

this is not something a low or mid-level employee will launch. is a controversial program someone had to approve it from a much higher level and clearly where they just targeting conservatives? the other polital ideologies as well? and why was everyone kept in the dark for so long for suchroubling behavior by the government? we would get to the bottom of this and start with the hearing on friday. gerri: i want to read a statement that the commissioner made about this topic. >> can you give us assurances the iras are not targeting particular groups based on political leanings? >> absolutely no targeting. this is the back-and-forth that happens when people apply for the five '01 c for

status. >> a lot of excuses but no swers. and originally the targeting was with the tea party in meaning and pager in the name but will let you make of that? >>y some reports the iris new within weeks of that testimony targeting had occurred at the highest levels in some indications they knew one year before that statement was given so we will go after that but a lot of questions did they target progressives or green or environmental? [laughter] they did not say that's it just scares me because if is administration can target you they can target anybody in any administration simply because of what you believedd3 gerri: that is a legal. the irs cannot do that.

correct? >> absolutely not. it is abuse of power. of this just isn't a political issue but it ought to concern everybody regardless of their political beliefs. the power to tax is the power to destroy why the irs for eaton's so many people we should be the most neutral independent agency in government and it shows that it is not. gerri: congressman brady thank you for joining us. thank you for yourime. now what you think? does the irs have the enemies list? log on and vote on the right-hand side of the screen. i will share results at the end of the show. another arm of the federal government appears to be overstepping its bounds. the associated press reports its reporters were the target of a broad investigation by the justice department.

detailed phone records of reporters were secretly seized by the government and peter barnes has a breaking story. >> the ap says the justice department is secretly obtained list of incoming and outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters new york, washington d.c. and hartford connecticut last year for two months. they seize the records from more than 20 telephone lines in april and may of last year and in a letter to letter attorney-general holder they protested and demanded the return that there could be no possible stification for such an over a broad collection of telephone communications of the ap and reporters. these potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all news gathering activities undertaken by the ap during a two month period providing a road map to the ap news gathering operations

the justice department would that say why it sought the records the officials previously said u.s. attoey in washington d.c. is conducting a crimin investigation to may have leaked infmation contained in the may 2012 story abt a foiled a terrorist plot. the justice department is supposed to follow specific rules to see the records for exampl a string subpoenas only after it has taken all reasonable attempts to get the same information from other sours. gerri: every betty snoopin on everybody else. wow!. great reporting. the big consumer news story the way watch tv is changing ain a first time ever abc streaming live signal to smart phones and other mobile devices it is expected to announce a change tomorrow. here to break this down is jeff roberts.

show the you have a cable account. gerri: i would think if abc is doing this other networks would follow suit. is this is something bigger? back there worried that competitors streaming any show $40 per month now ty realize consumers want to get their shows live. gerri: without commercia is another part of the equation. coulde b what we want when we wanted? >> consumers wanted and senator john mccain try to introduce a new bill to allow us to buy the channels we want because now we have to buy 200. so many more rational packages so they can watch what they're one and when theyan. gerri: some content comes fr not flex like hse of cards how does that disrupted the status quo? finin just changes how and where we watched beddoes

amazon, and the flex it just pushes more and they love tv and one technical question how do they measure ratings if they dn't have the usual cable box? >> that is what is holding it up nielsen's system is becoming less relevant as people watched on more devices they are figuring of technology to measure but nobodyill agree to the standards and that is what advertisers are waiting for a. gerri: good to see you. >> a pleasure. gerri: more to come including a new way of looking at college and if it is really worth the cost. another uninnded consequence of obamacare as cancer treatments become all but impossible as cost for certain drugs skyrocket. certain drugs skyrocket. we will have the latest.

>> that is a great mother's day message and everyone gets insurance but people cano see me with a common cold now more can see me that don't need to see me in their 30's. they have to pay high premiums to get this policy but once they have it they have unrestricted access if they can get me and i i am available but if they get sick they may find they cannot afford the drugs in one study shows one ad for cancer patients with a $500 co-pay will walk away without treatment. gerri: that is astonishing even the insurers say premiums will double and we were promised this would help with medical costs but it seems just the opposite is happening. >> in your state covering conditions for more than a decade we have one of the highest premiums in the country because it cost a lot to take care of sick people and have them pay the

same and use the insurance whenever they want. that is not the solution that would be more health savings accounts. gerri: stock about a cancer drug to thousand dollars a month out of pocket cost in california that is what some folks are facing. >> that is $24,000 per year in this drug which is amazing to has been around for a decade. imagine a drug that is $90,000 per year in canada's socialized medicine you cannot get it because they rule against it because it is so expensive this is where we're headed where people have a treatment a personalized medicine works for one person and not for another but that person will have to pay a fortune. gerri: unintended consequenc is amazing. thank you for coming to explain. time for a look of the stories on fox business., and wal street
