FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight August 16, 2013

Cost for individuals until 2015. Health and Human Services have given insurance providers the goahead to charge whatever they want until then in this Blockbuster Development was in the february department of labor regulatory report without comment from the white house the required investigative reporting by the New York Times to reveal the delay. Obamacare passed into law with 6,300 cap on individual deductibles and copays which was supposed to go into effect next year but like much of the Signature Health care law it has been delayed by the president. Listening to health and Human Services secretary sebelius earlier today, you would have thought the rollout would have sought the department was flawless in its execution. Were implementing the law it is not a political discussion it is the law of the land a and i think it is our job to make sure people are aware of what is coming of the benefit. Lou what is so simply altered by a sweep of the executive hand . The full law was to we implemented by next year. But still we have seen a number of delays and waivers in doubt right broken and promises. But then the promise if you like your insurance you can keep it. That is true of us here Company Drops it or cuts hours back to parttime the cbo estimates 6 million employers will do exactly that and drop coverage by 2019 and the delay piles up the obama and administration seems to push back any part of the law that it does not like that to penalize the businesses that do not provide coverage to the midterm elections how timely but the individual mandate penalizes those without insurance remains in effect. , but if you are a staff member or a member of the union you may be okay. In just before the summer recess through subsidies. And documentation from the department of hhs shows the 1200 waivers granted today to have gone to organized labor. And part of obamacare as a neverending pattern follows attorney general eric holders new plan to ignore the legislative process concerning mandatory sentencing for drug crimes. My first guest says the attorney general was to be legislator, a judge a and warda and. Joining us now member of the Judiciary Committee and a member of the House Oversight Committee Also a federal prosecutor for six years. Great to have you with us. Lets begin with the latest delay of obamacare rollout to the benefit of the Insurance Companies to the detriment to create another burden for the individual. I find it fascinating republicans are criticized because they want to slow down obamacare but it is okay if the president wants to not enforced the law. We are repeatedly told, in fact, i read over the weekend this is the law a conservative Supreme Court invalidated it. Get used to it so apparently when we are the president decides he will not implement. I see we will have a robust debate this fall if it is not good enough prime time and clearly it is not been then we need to start over. It passed without a single solitary republican vote. Lets see if you can find it without a single solitary republican vote. Lou will it be funded . And after 40 votes that the Republican Party has expressed itself, on repealing obamacare, knu significantly alter the law or can you repeal it in reality . We will need the senate to repeal its but in another segment we may discuss the attorney general does not like the loss so he will not enforce it. Fit is good enough with the recess apartments appointments or ignoring the law when they dont like it then when you have something as wildly as unpopular as the Affordable Care act which has been a train wreck the as those described by those who voted for it passed without a single republican vote. We are expected to fund it just because it passed before we got to congress . My suspicion is the will of the robust debate just how unpopular it is. Lou you mentioned a new initiative smart on crime describing the leniency he wants to bring to drug offenses and offenders with humanitarian releases with those incarcerated for a considerable time and very good prison citizens. Your reaction . He has the greatest job in the world. I rather be the attorney general than anything else including quarterback for the dallas cowboys. It is a shame he does not enjoy his job more to be a criminologist, a philosopher , sociologists we have had mandatory minimums for a quarter of a century. The he waits five years into his tenure to decide he does not like them any more . Most people are serving state court he has nothing to do with that. He has three options he can advocate for it the mandatory minimum the year is a novel idea if you dont think low level drug dealers should go to prison then quit prosecuting them because you double jurisdiction. Let the state court handles the low level but what he has chosen is the least desirable of all three he will continue to prosecute but ignore the fact that congress decided there should be mandatory minimums at the offense levels. I happen to think they are not a good idea in drug cases but the way to change that is to change the law not go to a conference in San Francisco to play the part of a criminologist and prison warden. Lou many of the parts he does play does not include lawenforcement itself it is indisputable that drug crime and drug offenses in this country have risen dramatically over the course of over three decades but the reality is also real losing the war on drugs by any metric we are losing literally millions of Young Americans primarily minority, majority all walks of life affected by drugs and addiction and we have an attorney general talking about a foot you point out is not even in his purview frankly already honored by most state prosecutors they do not take up minor offenses. One wonders what is the attorney general thinking . Five dash inky tries to pay back political that i know he did not do this before the election but waited conveniently until after words we have had mandatory minimums for a quarter of a century ago where he has been i have yet to hear him comment on than drug culture how hollywood horror certain genres of music portray the drug culture he just wants to pick a prosecutors we have a great u. S. Attorney obama appointee he decided these resources are better spent on mortgage fraud, a Health Care Fraud dont prosecute low level drug dealers let the states do if it is an easy fix but he wants to make headlines. Lou an unfortunate coincidence that a formerbordero weeks ago said point blank he believes a number of politicians he did not designate state local or federal doing the bidding of the drug cartel this frankly , is that the inopportune moment and questionable timing when you look at that kind of statements coming from sources in apparently fairly reliable sources that this attorney general would make that kind of comment to take this turn at a time when it is clear the borders are not secured against illegal immigration being kept out of it we still see the street value of drugs remain exactly where they have been there not declining that means theyre not interdicted or reduced why isnt there a discussion on this administration about winning the war on drugs . It has to include border security. Youre exactly right eye was the federal drug prosecutor 1984 through 2000 drug czar just as prevalent and probably cheaper than when i was putting people in jail for life. So the war on drugs has not been successful but what is the alternative strategy . Has he seen a child born to methamphetamines . Look at crime scene photos of what people on drugs do to innocent human beings what is the alternative strategy . Little thing midnight basketball will fix the culture of of the more money for schools or other Progressive Agenda what is the alternative strategy if he thinks there are too many people into many prisons for too long what other strategy does he have . Ave been a prosecutor for 20 years in the attorneygeneral for five. Other than letting them out early what is the strategy . Lou that is a strategy of the Mexican Government releasing the mexican drug lord you have written a letter to the attorney general after he served 20 years in prison and suddenly the federal court the high court of mexico determined there was a technical basis to release him . What is going on and why is this administration permiting guess . I did write the attorney general in 1980. My wife and i sat down to watch a miniseries on the story and the life of a dea agent tortured and killed by mexican drug cartels. This particular defendant should have faced a firing squad in should have been hung in the fact he will be let out of jail after 20 years of a 40 year sentence on a technicality . He needs to be extradited killing a Law Enforcement officer to respect the rule of law the you could have an end to torture him before he killed him . I am sure the attorney general is just as outraged as i am and i am sure the state Department Mexico understands our relationship how they handle this case. Lou we thank you for being with us. It is good to hear your thoughts. When i think about our relationship with mexico, we witnessed as many People Killed and vanished since 2006 that have died in the war in syria and afghanistan that has had no influence on u. S. Policy toward mexico or the two governments. Perhaps this will be different. Congressman goudy. Thank you. The Justice Department filed a suit to block the merger between American Airlines and usair ways. The department of justice along with state attorneygeneral screening it would hurt competition to drive up prices and certainly not a free market the four major carriers already accounting for 80 percent of the entire market the agency has not intervened in a Major Airline merger including delta, northwest, united, co ntinental but the Justice Department did block anheuserbusch acquisition that was completed in june after major concessions. Perhaps there is a change in the air. Deadly violence in egypt and a failed state nearing reality. Former u. S. Attorney and author of the grant g hyde hyde, Andrew Mccarthy joins us next. The boys used double miles from their capital o venture card to fly home for the big family reunion. You must be garths father . Hello. Mother. Mother traveling is easy with the venture card because you can fly any airline anytime. Two words. Double miles this guy can act. Wanna play dodge rock . Oh, you guys and with double miles you can actuay use, you never miss the fun. Beard growing contest and go win whats in your wallet . Win a quarter million tweeters is beare tweeting. And 900 Million Dollars are changing hands online. Thats why hp built a new kind of server. One thats 80 smaller. Uses 89 less energy. And costs 77 less. Its called hp moonshot. And its giving the internet the room it needs to grow. This is gonna be b. Hp moonshot. Its time to build a better enterprise. Together. Lou joining me now former federal prosecutor, Andrew Mccarthy led the successful terrorism prosecution of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers also author of the grand jihad. Great to have you here. This is clear success for the secular military of the rulers of egypt and the Egyptian Military it seems that should be celebrated by the administration but they seem a bit of rather is remorse in their tone they seem dour about it all. Have been the biggest backers of the Muslim Brotherhood from the beginning of the Administration May be the first phase or the first hours. The Muslim Brotherhood by the way taking egypt into flames with it is not something that does credit to the Obama Administration and they have this fantasy we will bring the Muslim Brotherhood in to have a reconciliation government with a couple of portfolios and that will satisfy them. Have they been watching the last 18 months . All these guys ever wanted was to turn this place into asia real estate and no reason to think there we do anything differently. Lou a disaster for this administration. Secretary of state carry trying to put a good face on it. But absolutely clearly stated morsi in the Muslim Brotherhood. As horrible judgment as that has been with policy will look to the other side here is secretary of state john kerry doing something Hillary Clinton could not do throw her tenure to have palestinians and israelis into negotiations. Your thoughts . To get to the negotiation of the Peace Process they put pressure on the israelis to release terrorist that many of them are homicidal maniacs responsible for the murders. Lou a judgment by a netanyahu and his government made the decision under pressure or other rise but to get to that point . I dont think any process that calls it a Peace Process that begins by releasing terrorist is authentic. To me it is the same tune we have heard over 20 years. Lou now this administration the man who brought osama bin nodded in the first instance what influence will the administration have with that possibility will it ultimately embrace . Karzai also suggested maybe the mullah could come back to run. I think if you indulge the fantasy popular elections can be called democracy and we will run with that i think we will find is islamic supremacist will rule islamic countries if we want to enable that it will be the loss of drone influence he will see that country after country. And the definition if it is even appropriate such a policy should have a role in the middle east. If you empower your own enemies it is your own and doing. We appreciate as always. Whether they realize it or not the media has declared obama to be any new status next. Lou is in the fourth this day passing on the mayoral candidate Anthony Wiener let it slip former secretary of state clinton plans to run for president in 2016 here is what he told a busby reporter when asked about his wife. Do know the role of hillary 2016 campaign will be . I dos but i will not tell you. [laughter] lou why would you take his word on anything . This is not a man who has just one but two texting scandals we do not even know if it ended and he is apologizing for calling his opponent grant paul. I was pulling for the other fellow but he has a record 80 unfavorable but a nasty fellow like this has the Approval Rating of 80 so who are the 20 percent that approve of him . While we talk about inflated democratic evoke egos Comedy Central destroyed Chris Matthews over his claims that senator rand paul will run and win the republican nomination in 2016. This making predictions of what Chris Matthews does for a living he may have a problem because finding sound bites the people saying things that directly contradicted claims he has just made is what we do for a living. [laughter] who does Chris Matthews seagoing all the way to the white house in 2008 . I believe ready guiliani will win the whole thing. Thats right. [laughter] netanyahu also predicted congressman Michelle Bachman would be to meet romney we are more than three years away from the election 1,182 days sandy want to know how dumb it is to speculate who will do what in 2016 . Lets go back to august of 2005 the front runners of one gallup poll for Hillary Clinton had 40 percent support followed by John Kerry John edwards had mastered 16 they had eight democrats of the list but not one was named barack obama. The front runner from the republican race, Rudy Guiliani was doing well with 27 percent followed by john mccain that had 24 percent and condoleezza rice, rice, 19 percent so what does that 2016 talk mean right now . It does not mean much in is not that significant but at t because when a preacher talking begins usually signifies the onset of the lameduck status. The good news is, mr. President leaves even more time for golf. Been nation still does not know what president obama was doing the night of the bet and gauzy attacks. We can help our commander in chief was not doing the same thing as he did the night osama bin baden was killed. Former congressman alan west. Next. If youve got it, you know how hard it can be to breathe and man, you know how that feels. Copd includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Spiriva is a oncedaily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my obstructed airways for a full 24 hours. You know, spiriva helps me breathe easier. Spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fastacting inhalers for sudden symptoms. Tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urining, or an enlarged prostate. These may worsen with spiriva. Discuss all medicineyou take, even eye drops. Stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. Other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. Nothing can reverse copd. Spiriva helps me breathe better. Does breathing with copd weigh you down . Dont wait to ask your doctor about spiriva. Lou new revelations today of where the president was in what he was doing during the raid on which osama the bottom osama bin lauded was killed by a of it navy seals his personal assistant r
