Fact evolves segment tonight will fast and furious gun scandal -- -- -- Obama's reelection chances that you -- now.

Justice Department investigating a federal program it's an automatic weapons to Mexico in an attempt to find out who was buying them down there.

The bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms and lost control of some of the weapons and one of them killed the Border Patrol agent in Arizona.

Joining us -- Katie -- author of the new book just out today fast and furious Barack Obama's bloodiest scandal any shameless.

Coverup.

Quite a subtitles there it's factual it may be factual -- pavlik but it has not gotten traction.

This story has not heard President Obama as much as talk radio.

And some conservative pundits are yelling and screaming and you.

In your book if not there and I want to know why why aren't people responding to this.

First of all people don't know -- the but of 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 are right let's walk through this very specifically so whose day.

Who hatched this thing.

NBC has failed to join and another media India -- -- who has fast and furious.

The Justice Department ATF officials from the Justice Department the highest levels -- assistant attorney general holder -- colder.

I think wholly new in the beginning that before these guns went south of the border that there were heading there absolutely -- kids in my book I document that one of the main priorities of the Obama's tradition in the beginning.

Was a stop trafficking guns a direct as a direct order from the president to make sure my guns were being trafficked in the -- -- -- top priority.

Okay stop the guns and go I'm usaid in Mexico -- and Mexicans were screaming about that this thing -- -- makes sense so you're saying then that are holding the attorney general knew about this -- But he denied it under oath in front of congress correct not only has he denied it under oath in front of congress has changed his testimony under oath in front of congress -- that's perjury if if true.

How can you prove view the author of this book.

That he did know from the conception that these guns -- going down there how can you prove.

Look we have -- Eric Holder -- his first testimony from congress but passengers may second 2011.

Claims he knew about it for a couple of weeks.

Back -- find that we find out that we -- we -- memos and book addressed directly to Eric Holder a year.

Five of them dated July 2010.

August 2000.

That is -- second appearance he said -- AEA and now I remember but I didn't remember that but you're saying from the jump before you -- guns went down he knew.

And he certainly denies it so why aren't to congress.

The Republicans in congress and the senate why aren't they bringing him up against charges -- warranted doing.

Well I think it's time at the chairman I -- and a very good job of doing the best he can with the Justice Department they stonewalled they've been acting guilty since day one.

They haven't been providing any documents as people now and in the book we document and show all the connections between Eric Holder.

Barack Obama and going back into the clean -- and what -- political agenda behind this whole thing was.

The political agenda again being stopping guns from going into Mexico because the Mexican government.

Know that what is.

Political -- political agenda behind this entire thing was to.

Blame American gunshots heard cartel violence in America in order to push an anti Second Amendment.

More regulations on -- constantly gets a little bit more complicated -- into the conspiracy thing now just not the hardware thing about it that this was a design thing.

To blame gun shops and try to get Second Amendment Rights curtailed both dot SI conspiracy it's a fat we have emails in the book documentation showing behind that conspiracy or that plan was behind that the Justice Department -- Indian name I mean whose -- running -- sorry -- any document.

In the -- the -- -- Second Amendment records of Eric Holder Barack Obama going all the way back to the Clinton administration that name players.

And passengers Dennis Burke former US -- it's -- Arizona.

Helped craft the -- Clinton -- assault rifle ban.

With Rahm Emmanuel now you fast forward that into the year 2010.

And gun control legislation as at an all time low for approval in America people don't want it so.

In this administration what they -- they go around congress -- against the American people what they want to get their political agenda through what they did in this program.

-- -- Blame the gun shops didn't traffic on the -- common -- -- from the beginning was never to attract these guns to act like they kind of lost track of them -- it with a botched operation.

The spots they never had any plans to track these guns.

They were gonna send them down there hoping that you have -- -- you would be murdered so that that it would be an anti Second Amendment movement.

-- but the goal from the beginning was.

Debt they've gotten forced speed gun shops and Arizona to sell to -- straw purchasers that had been under surveillance they knew they -- the bad guys they knew they are written for -- I tells.

For -- year and then.

Don't track the guns that didn't put any tracking devices on on the guns out of 2500 guns fell two guns had GPS devices but on them.

So you tell me if that's as easily and seriousness.

From the jump and this is he going to come out you believe -- come out or replied I think that we have a lot of the evidence are about to show that we have the connections between all the political appointees why there's a cover up their loyalties between them going back to the Clinton administration.

The connection between.

The Second Amendment being attacked because they -- trying to prove that guns from America we're going in the -- by provocative.

It's not like thank you the book is fast and furious next.
