10:00 pm
we will tell you how to protect your identity and finances if and when this happens. that is it for tonight' "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 dey from the media and from the american people. the obama white house forgoing a mandatory cap on insunce company deductibles. the obam administration, as a result, will not putthe limit
10:01 pm
on the out-of-pocket st 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 likmuch of the heah care law, it has been dellyed by the president. listening to kathleen sebelius earlier today, you would've thought that the obamacare
10:02 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 coming. aware of the benefits. lou: typically these are not altered or changed by the swping hand her the full law was supposed to be ilemented 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 part-time. in order to comply with the law. the cbo estimates tt 6 million employers will do exactly lat and drop coverage by 2019.
10:03 pm
a law that penalizes those without insurance remainsin 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 patern.
10:04 pm
it follows e plan to ignore the legislative process concerning mandatory minimum sentencing for drug trials. ining us now is congressman trey gowdy chairman of the subcommittee on immigration and a member of the house oversight coittee 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. bu it's okay if the president wants to not enforce the law. we are repeatedly told and in
10:05 pm
fact iead somewhere over the weekend that this is a conservative supeme court validated. so my guess is we are going to have a very robustdebate this fall. clearly it is not, why don't we just start ove. it passed without a single solita publican 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
10:06 pm
senate to repeal it. but there are lots of laws. in fact, you and i and another segment may discuss the attorn general doesn't like a law. so he is just not going to enforce it. well, if it's good enough for the attorney geeral or the affordable care at al and just 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 cre 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 th leniency that he wants to bring to drug offenses and offenders and
10:07 pm
humanarian releases now, yourr@ reaction to this? >> it is a shame that he dooesnt enjoy his job more. he wants to be a criminologist sociologists, a philosopher we have had mandatory minimums for a quarter of a cntury. and yet he waits five years into his tenu as attorgeneral to decide he doesn't like them anymore. most people serving job assignments say they have nothing do with that.
10:08 pm
quit prosecuting him because you havejurisdiction in all drug cases, let state posecutors handle tis. the option e has chosen is the least desirable of al three. the way to change that is to change the lw 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 dug crime and drug offenses in this country have sen dramatically over the course of this past bter than three decades.
10:09 pm
we have an attorne general talking about this being point out, which is frankly being alrdy honored by most state prosecutors and that is that they do not ake up his minor, if you will follow them, minr offenses. so one wonders what is this attorney generalthinking. >> i think he's trying to pay back some political debts.
10:10 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.
10:11 pm
especially they would make this kind of commitment. especially when it's clear that ourborders are not covered. but it remains exactly where they have been. they are not being interdicted and they are not bng reduced. why isn't there a discussion on the part of this administration about winning the war on drugs.
10:12 pm
the so-called war on drugs has not been successful. i will tell you that what is this alternative strategy? , ook 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
10:13 pm
release after he served in the high court in mexico, which determined there was a technical basis to really sit. dea agnt ho 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 gog to be let out of jail on a technicity after 28 years of a four-year sentence, he nee to be extradited and killing a law enforcement officer to the rule of lw. so i'm sure the attorney gener
10:14 pm
is just as outraged as i am and i'm sure that this did untranatable mixer that mexico understands. lou: many havedied in the wa in syria and afghan and afghanistan. and you know, they have absolutely no influence on u.s. policies towards mexico.

10:22 pm
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 e take those statents and how concerneshould we be? >> we should be very concerned. @%ere are regular officers and the other half is that incudes one that attacked the embassy o consute. they have a lot of weapons, including antiaircraft missiles. not so much actually from qaddafi. so now we have that.
