Thank you.
-- the full house -- have set for an unprecedented vote this Thursday on whether to hold attorney general Eric Holder in contempt of congress.
Or his refusal to hand over fast and furious documents subpoenaed by the congress of the United States joining us now Wayne Lapierre.
The executive vice president Chief Executive Officer of the National Rifle Association.
It is great to have you -- this -- thanks -- this.
This is one of the most frustrating and difficult investigations I've ever watch.
The idea that the that the attorney general has not produced any documents.
-- has not turned over apparently inspector general has not produced the conclusion.
Of her report.
And his.
It seems to me straightforwardly not cooperated with the the house oversight committee.
Your thoughts.
Well I'm not sure Americans have -- city they like this before and I let's look at what happened in this administration gets in there and immediately the president the vice president.
The attorney general the secretary of state.
Start sound like a barbershop quartet -- this -- 80% of the guns that cartels are getting -- coming from the US.
It was never true I called the bush folks right away instead what you -- they said some small time operators.
We never believe the cartels were getting from the US Russia China international black market defections from the Mexican army and Central America.
And yet what this administration did the Obama administration.
They in effect set up a dealership they set up a pipeline thousands of guns -- -- from the US.
It is the most evil people on the planet they didn't arrest them they didn't stop them they -- -- -- -- -- cross the border let me interject.
Under the under the auspices and direction of the department of justice and alcohol and tobacco firearms and explosives.
Agency which is part of the department -- That's exactly right and it was going on -- going on -- going on.
Until Brian care -- was killed in a fact what they did was facilitated crime.
To facilitate their political agenda to make their sound bites -- 90%.
Look like they were true.
And if -- not tell the truth.
Let the Justice Department prove it.
They know what happened they've got the papers and the reason they won't release them is they don't want the American public to know the truth.
What you're saying is that contemporaneously.
With the statements that those guns going -- to Mexico.
Are worth 90% of them were originating in the United States and we can all recall they headlines in the stories.
And the Justice Department.
And the meetings by the way -- between Justice Department and Obama administration officials and Mexican authorities.
Contemporaneously.
You're saying you think operation fast -- was intended.
To support those that a public political initiative.
I absolutely do I believe was all about furthering their -- political agenda I mean.
They let these guns go to the cartels.
They like I said they didn't arrests they didn't do anything yet when they showed -- the crime scenes.
Suddenly they're -- they're going hobbies guns are from the United States we need more gun control laws in the US.
And then they probably -- the papers like the Washington Post stories like this.
Mexican drug violence runs rampant US guns tied to -- south of the border for and they go on to say -- the -- Washington Post front page.
No single independent dealer stands out more.
Then Bill Carter in Texas.
The truth is the Justice Department ordered Bill Carter to sell all those guns.
So they're willing to let his reputation -- completely ruined and smeared.
You find an interest thing that the national liberal media.
Is not.
Analyzing.
And delving in to precisely those contemporaneous.
Events.
That you have just described here on this broadcast.
Yeah I mean so much of the national media ought to just take gather logo and put in Obama bumper sticker on.
Because they're so tied to re electing this president I'm in the Washington Post rights the other day.
I mean they're still writing stories patting themselves on the back for Watergate which a third rate burglary.
I mean even Bill Clinton was a dalliance with a -- turn.
This is hundreds of people's -- federal agent dead and the Washington Post rights the other day it was an honest bureaucratic mistake.
I mean did that did the it.
There's all kinds of double standards.
Political dishonesty.
Duplicity here that make the American public set of what the political class does.
Wearing off here and -- in our rate good to have you.
