that doesn t mean there aren t constitutional arguments about people s ability to say but i m not. it s just that they don t necessarily apply here i think. you can certainly make arguments. i think where it really gets complicated is trump doesn t have any good arguments on this. most of this is communications rather than constitution and that is the primary point here. you know, we ve had previous administrations that have said we are not going to give you congress these things you ve asked for in the context of the obama administration and the gun walking case of fast and furious to track guns into mexico and turned out they got used to kill a border patrol agent. the republican congress very aggressively started investigating the department of justice atf and ended up in a contempt vote against eric holder.

megyn: but what say you to the argument that if the weapon was noncompliant with mexico s gun laws and apparently it was about an inch out of compliance. it was almost compliant, but i not quite. he declared it, didn t try to sneak it in, he said here it is, and they said, oh, that s illegal, you re going to jail. so all that, okay. they say, look, doesn t matter, it was illegal, he brought it into the country, we have big, big signs saying don t bring guns into mexico. say today it s they say it s none of your business, let our criminal justice play out the same way as you do in the united states, and we don t interfear. the problem is that the mexican justice system is completely corrupt. their jails are not american jails. it s like going to a third world country. that s where he s trapped at right now. he s trapped in a third world country jail, but it s not pakistan, it s not afghanistan. it s right across the border from san diego. and it d be very easy for us to, you know, f
want to know why. why aren t people responding to this? first of all, people don t know about the details. he is being protected by the mainstream old media about. this because they know if the american people knew about the details of this program and what they did to push a political agenda that it would definitely swipe a second term from obama. bill: let s walk through this very specifically. who is they? who hatched this thing. nbc has failed to. bill: no, no, not the media. okay. bill: who is they? who hatched fast and furious. justice department. at officials from the justice department. highest levels. eric holder. bill: do you think holder knew in the beginning before these guns went south of the border that they were heading there. absolutely. in my book i say that one of the main priorities of the obama administration in the beginning was to stop trafficking guns as a direct order from the president to make sure that guns weren t being trafficked into mexic
wind or something. we do better. but the bottom line is this. it did take considerable spill for the taliban to stage these attacks. committee force attacks relatively cheap. got world headlines. on the good side the afghan security forces they looked ragged to a professional but they responded pretty well. they closed it down ultimately without a lot of american help, but that said, kabul, those are the elite of the elegality of the afghan forces. out in the provinces they are not very good. so, the result is a mixed bag that we killed taliban guys, but the taliban did score a big propaganda victory. bill: all right. thank you colonel as always. we appreciate it directly ahead, another scandal this one about a federal agency sending guns to mexico. will that effect president obama s re-election effort? take a hard look at the situation. later, another far left pundit accusing me of being in the tank for the republic party. bernie goldberg on that upcoming.
