7:00 pm
we will tell you how to protect your identity and finances if and when this happens. that is it for tonight's "willis report." we will see you back here tomorrow. lou: good evening, everybody. thank you so much for being with us. obamacare hitting taxpayers with anooher broken promise today. as it is revealed that the obama administration has quietly delayed another major provision of the federal health care overhaul. so quietly one might think the obama administration has been hiding that delay from the media and from the american people. the obama white house forgoing a mandatory cap on insurance company deductibles. the obama administration, as a result, will not put the limit
7:01 pm
on the out-of-pocket cost for individuals until they now say 2015. health and human services has given insurance providers the go-ahead to charge whatever they want. this was contained in a february department of labor regulatory report without comment like much of the health care law, it has been dellyed by the president. listening to kathleen sebelius earlier today, you would've thought that the obamacare
7:02 pm
rollout is going smoothly that her department was simply flawless in execution. >> we are implementing the law. we call it the law. not a political discussion. it is really the law of the land. i think that it is our job to make sure that people are aware of what is coming. aware of the benefits. lou: typically these are not altered or changed by the sweeping hand her the full law was supposed to be implemented by next year and instead we have seen a number of delays and waivers and outright broken promises. the president famously promised that if you like your insurance, you can keep it. some will cut your hours back to part-time. in order to comply with the law. the cbo estimates that 6 million employers will do exactly lat and drop coverage by 2019.
7:03 pm
a law that penalizes those without insurance remains in effect. if you are in congress or a congressional staff member or a member of the union, you just might be okay this includes documentation from the health and human services department, showing that those who had been granted today had gone to organized labor. today's obamacare, part of a seemingly uneven pattern.
7:04 pm
it follows the plan to ignore the legislative process concerning mandatory minimum sentencing for drug trials. joining us now is congressman trey gowdy. chairman of the subcommittee on immigration and a member of the house oversight committee as well. also a federal prosecutor for six years. congressman, great to have you with us. if you will would, this latest delay in obamacare. what is your thought on this creating burden for the individual? >> republicans are criticized because they want to defund obamacare. but it's okay if the president wants to not enforce the law. we are repeatedly told and in
7:05 pm
fact i read somewhere over the weekend that this is a conservative supreme court validated. so my guess is we are going to have a very robust debate this fall. clearly it is not, why don't we just start over. it passed without a single solitary republican vote. let's see if you can find it without a single solitary vote. lou: can you repeal it in reality? >> we are going to need the
7:06 pm
senate to repeal it. but there are lots of laws. in fact, you and i and another segment may discuss the attorney general doesn't like a law. so he is just not going to enforce it. well, if it's good enough for the attorney general or the affordable care at all and just to ignore the immigration law and they don't like it, then why can't republicans when you have something as wildly unpopular as the so-called affordable care act, it was passed without a single republican vote. we expect to fund it just because it passed before many of us got to congress. my suspicion is you're going to have a robust debate this fall about just how unpopular it is. lou: you mentioned the attorney general describing the leniency that he wants to bring to drug offenses and offenders and
7:07 pm
humanitarian releases now, your@ reaction to this? >> it is a shame that he doesn't enjoy his job more. he wants to be a criminologist, sociologists, a philosopher we have had mandatory minimums for a quarter of a century. and yet he waits five years into his tenure as attorney general to decide he doesn't like them anymore. most people serving job assignments say they have nothing to do with that.
7:08 pm
quit prosecuting him because you have jurisdiction in all drug cases, let state prosecutors handle this. the option he has chosen is the least desirable of all three. the way to change that is to change the law and not to go to a conference in san francisco and played a part of a criminologist and a prison warden. lou: many parts of the attorney general does play does not include law enforcement itself. it is indisputable. that drug crime and drug offenses in this country have risen dramatically over the course of this past better than three decades.
7:09 pm
we have an attorney general talking about this being point out, which is frankly being already honored by most state prosecutors and that is that they do not take up his minor, if you will follow them, minor offenses. so one wonders what is this attorney general thinking. >> i think he's trying to pay back some political debts.
7:10 pm
>> he just wants to pick on prosecutors. you know, we have a great u.s. attorney in south carolina. a fantastic ooama pointy end u.s. attorney and he decided his resources are better spent on health care fraud and mortgage fraud and they don't prosecute low-level drug dealers. let the states do it. it's an easy fix. lou: he did not designate state, local, federal, are doing the bidding of the drug cartel.
7:11 pm
especially they would make this kind of commitment. especially when it's clear that our borders are not covered. but it remains exactly where they have been. they are not being interdicted and they are not being reduced. why isn't there a discussion on the part of this administration about winning the war on drugs.
7:12 pm
the so-called war on drugs has not been successful. i will tell you that what is this alternative strategy? , look at some crime scene photos when i was a state prosecutor do to innocent human beings. he has been a prosecutor for about 20 years. he has been aging for about five years. other than letting people out of prison early, what is his strategy? >> letting people out of prison is releasing this. you have written a letter to the attorney general about that
7:13 pm
release after he served in the high court in mexico, which determined there was a technical basis to really sit. a dea agent who was tortured and killed by mexican drug cartels. this particular defendant should have faced a firing squad. he should've been harmed. and the fact that he is going to be let out of jail on a technicality after 28 years of a four-year sentence, he needs to be extradited and killing a law enforcement officer to the rule of law. so i'm sure the attorney general
7:14 pm
7:15 pm
thank you, congressman trey gowdy. they would drive up prices for consumers. it is certainly not a free market, i will point that out, if i may. the four major carriers already accounting for 80% this is the acquisition that was completed in june after major concession. peace talks between the israelis and palestinians. fox news middle east repprter marine terraces coming up next

the. lou: no one knows who is in the wrong. these are uncorroborated reports that these are out there, coming from the whistleblowers. how seriously should we take those statements and how concerned should we be? >> we should be very concerned. @%ere are regular officers and the other half is that includes one that attacked the embassy or consulate. they have a lot of weapons, including antiaircraft missiles. not so much actually from qaddafi. so now we have that.

7:28 pm
unfavorable ruling. unfavorable. a nasty fellow like this has an unfavorable ruling -- approval rating, if you will, you just have to wonder who the 20 percent who approve of him. while we're on the topic of inflated democratic egos, last night, the central john oliver absolutely destroyed chris matthews over his claims that senator rand paul will come -- run and when the republican nomination for charges 16. >> making sound predictions is what chris matthews does for a living any may have a bit of a problem. finding sound bites of people saying things that directly contradict the klan they're just made, that is what we do for a living. who takes chris matthews could go all the way to the white house in 2008? >> let me ask you about rudy giuliani. i believe he's not only running,
7:29 pm
but you will when this whole thing, around the next election. >> that's right, yeah. lou: for years ago, predicted congressman michele bachmann would it be to mitt romney for the republican nomination. we are more than three years away from the 2016 presidential election that is 11,802 days, if you are keeping close track. do you want to know how dumb it is to be speculating about who is going to do what in 2016 right now? let's go back to august of 2005. the front runners in the democratic nomination in one gallup poll were hillary clinton, 40 percent support, followed by john kerry with 16, john edwards had mustered 50 percent support. that pull at eight democrats on the list. not one of them was named barack obama. the front runners from the republican race, reach guliani, do well. 27 percent of followed by john mccain who had 24 percent.

connelly's a rice, 19%. so what does all of the 2016 talk me right now? as you can tell, it does not amount to must -- much. it is not really that significant, but it can be because when all of that premature prognosticating against it usually signifies the arms that. don't listen to this, mr. obama. onset of lame-duck status. the good news, even more time for a little golf. always so very helpful federal government. now the department of education is out with their report on school safety. and you will not believe what they're recommending is for students and teachers with the shooter situation. what would you take to a gun fight? we take it up next. ♪ this man is about toe the millionth customer.
