technology helping dads raise their sons from boys to men. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. [applaus [applause] >> thank you very much. well, i've decided that it's time for the the attorney general to do the president and the country an important service and step down. now, i don't say that lightly and i don't see that because of his political affiliation being different than mine. i've come to refer to him not as simply eric holder, but eric withholder, because he has become the master of withholding documents, information and truth from the house, the senate, and the american public. in an administration that pledged transparency, the department of justice has operated not merely opaguely, but behind a stonewall, stonewalling, after 18 months, numerous hearings and threats of contempt of congress charges, regarding the sd

disastrous fast and furious programs, putting them in the hand of mexican drug dealers and released over 700 documents over 140,000 that congress requested. one american border patrol agent is dead. he's yet to answer what he knew and when he knew it about the disgusting fiasco, while he arms them on the mexican border, he's suing, for what the federal agents miserably failed to. he sued florida because they're trying to remove the name of dead people from the voters rules and sued the state of texas because the legislature rightfully refuses to spend their taxpayer money to give blood money to organizations that kill unborn babies. he refuses to with defend parts of the defense of marriage act. answer though the bill was passed in a bipartisan vote

and signed by president bill clinton in 1996. when sirius national security leaks endanger american military and intelligence personal and foreign nationals to help fight terrorists he appoints a couple of his justice department lawyers to look into it, one whom was a generous campaign contributor to president obama. >> even though the individual might have impeccable intest grit, it just doesn't pass the smell test. justice is supposed to be blind, but this justice department winners at the law, the constitution, and the authority of congress. if the nation's chief attorney can't be trusted to follow the law, how in the world do we explain to teenagers that they've got to do it. i expect it's going be to be assumed that my call for eric withholder's resignation is all about the election and raw partisan politics. actually, it would be better politics for republicans if withholder just holds on. i mean, he's too easy a target

going into the heat of the election. this isn't about the election, it's about the country. i'm less interested in his hurting president obama than in hurting the rule of law and respect for the constitution. i sometimes try to use humor or satire to get my point across. but frankly, i don't see anything funny about the contempt that eric withholder seems to have not just for congress and the states, but for we, the people, and it's time for him to go. [applaus [applause]. >> on friday, the chairman of congressional oversight and reform, darrell issa, is willing to postpone a contempt of congress vote. provided that the attorney general turns over additional fast and furious documents that he promised. this is after the attorney general sent issa is letter on thursday, and asking for a meeting to reach a compromise. an offer that holder calls an

extraordinary deal. and issa says he's still concerned that the justice department is not going to deliver enough documents to end his committee's investigation. another committee member with concerns is south carolina congressman trei galley. thank you for being a part of the show. pla (applause). >> great to be here, governor. >> mike: let's begin, there's he a lot of pressure on eric holder right now. do you think that he's making any offer at all because of the extraordinary pressure that members of congress, including you, are putting on him or is this a sincere effort on his part? >> among my many limitations, governor, i can't read other people's mow he tiffs, i can't judge their heart. i know this, this has been going on for 16 or 18 months and we haven't seen much willingness on his behalf to negotiate or compromise or maybe what he calls extraordinary accommodation. what i said earlier, maybe a couple of weeks ago, as soon

as david axle rod tells the president that eric holder is a drag on your reelection bid, eric holder will be gone. i thought your opening monologue was beautiful. and it was beautiful to me because you touched on the point that means the very most to me. this is not a political exercise to me, i'm he not smart enough, i don't have the interest weighing whether or not he's a political liability to the the president and it's about a woman who carries a set of scales and a sword and wears a blind fold and that department is not just another political department to me, respect of the rule of law is the foundation of our republic and if we lose that we're not going to make it. so, it's far and above politics to me. >> mike: congressman, you were a former prosecutor, one of the fundamental things that a prosecutor does is trying to get all the information and the facts. do you believe that this is a reason that the attorney general's withholding? it looks like he'd he want to come forth with as many documents that might clear,

not only he, but his department. >> satisfies what i said from the outset, there must be something in the documents that he doesn't want us to he see, if they cleared him, he would have given them to us months ago, there are two main levels of inquiry, number one, how a gun program as fundamentally flawed as fast and furious could have been apro moved by main justice. and get answers for brian terry's family and your viewers. and point two, a false letter written february 4th, 2011, calculate today mislead congress. they denied the tactic of gun walking, ten months later they withdraw that letter, which is unprecedented to have the department of justice have to concede a letter sent to congress was fundamentally misleading. i want to know how a letter that fundamentally flawed and misleading ever could have been drafted by a department supposed to be about justice. >> mike: right now there's a vote scheduled for wednesday on contempt of congress

charges facing the attorney general. do you think there's anything that he can do that will keep that vote from taking place and if so, what? >> sure, he can give us the documents. >> mike: how much of the documents. >> i'm not interested in compromise and negotiations. >> so you're not satisfied, congressman with just him going over, he's given 7,000 out of 140,000. you're going it insist 140,000 or push forward with the vote? >> i am and i'll tell you why, governor. if our original request was illegitimate we shouldn't be talking about contempt in congress in the first place. if our first request was legitimate, he should honor it. this is not bridge tournament, they're not haggling over the price after used car. we have a dead pralle agency and with american's fingerprints on it, arming the mexican drug cartels, i'm not

interested in haggling or extraordinary accommodations, i want the documents. if we were wrong to ask for the documents, sometime needs to come on the show and say we're overreached for more than what we're entitled to. he needs to fully comply. this is not political gain. he needs to fully comply. if that happens, i'm sure the chairman will call off the vote which then gets to the points whether or not we're going to sanction him at all for 12 months of delay, and as you note in your opening monologue, withholding. >> mike: congressman, thank you very much. a pleasure to have you here and thanks for the strong stand you've taken on behalf of all citizens who simply want the truth. thank you.

army recruiting station. i want you to tell me what went through your mind and were you surprised when this call came to you? >> i was totally shocked. unbelievable. my son was working for an extended company in little rock and we couldn't reach him that morning by telegraph, got a call from the locations and saying no one was working so we tried to reach him by telegraph, didn't reach him and got in the car to little rock. by the way i got there. i got a call from the fbi said to me on my cell phone. that your son as been involved in a shooting, something bad has happened. and my wife was sitting in the other side. my heart dropped to my shoes and i'm saying now i've got to tell my wife what you just told me. and we was totally shocked. >> mike: daris, your wife was actually sitting in the parking lot, 50 feet from the

shooting itself. she saw the whole thing. tell me how you-- did she call you and tell you what happened? >> what had happened was, she had seen the other soldier, my son come out of the recruiting office and she was going to get up and go talk to him. and when she saw he had a friend with him, she decided to stay in the car. and at that time, she heard three bursts of gunfire, and she kind of went into shock, a soldier came over and grabbed her, and took her around. well, i got a phone call from her, and she told me that andy's been shot. they're doing c pcpr on him. i said what, it goes from there and went down to the emergency room and tell you he's passed. so, it was -- she was there. you know, there's 15 soldiers that were inside that recruiting office, that seems to be lost on a lot of things, so, that he could have been a lot worse, i mean, he could

nashville and he just gave away his dog because he said again, his religion thought that dogs was a thing of evil. and those two things raised our eyebrows and we started getting concerned. >> mike: he went to a college in nashville, tennessee you thought was going to be just fine and he started going to the islam center and it was known as a very moderate islamic center, you know, local politicians and local clergy, regularly had events with the people from that mosque. so, was it a shock to you that this was the beginning point of what became radicalization in your son? >> we don't know a lot about islam and that's the thing i try to say to the american people all over when i'm speaking, american people need to know more what islam is and is not. and we don't know much about islam, when he became involved with the religion. we sit in the school in

nashville to get an educatio education,er education to learn and to earn good money and in school, he ended up going to nashville to seek his dream, to a nightmare, and in that training camp. >> he went to yemen to teach english supposedly, but it was there he was indoctrinated very intently. >> yeah, this is on purpose. this is in nashville and the people purposely took them out and they brain washed him, manipulated him and lied to him and they abused him. he was a victim of a crime before he committed the crime that he committed. >> mike: there is, your son was in the army, four months five days when he was killed. does it -- does it get to you that your own government has failed to acknowledge that he was the victim not just of a random shooting, but the deliberate murder because he

was in the military. >> yeah, it gets to me, i served 27 years in the marine corps, i took an oath, a statutory oath against all enemies foreign and domestic. we have 20 instances where people were failed, thwarted or arrested before they thought about going over to yemen. and in the case of abdul hakeem, these previously things failed, whatever, ne were arrested for what abdul hakeem mohammed was successful at. he was not-- he didn't just come back from yemen. he was deported from yemen at the request of the u.s. government, and they didn't follow-up on that. >> mike: when we come back, i'm going to ask melvin and darius about their efforts to put an end to home grown terrorism and get the truth out about the fact that this is not just random crime. this was done as a specific pact of terrorism, yet, our

own federal government will not even acknowledge it. >> my family kept silent for over two years, we will not be silent again. we're speaking, not out of hate, but because our country needs to hear the truth. now, tre's gentle, dependable constipation relief fore... and me and me. new dulcolax laxative tablets for women are comfort-coated... so they're gentle on sensitive stomachs. new dulcolax laxative for women the overnight relief you're looking for. is important to any successful business. which is why at wells fargo, we work with you to get to know the unique aspects of your business. we can recommend financial solutions that can work for you that have helped millions of business owners save time, reduce expenses, and maxize cash flow. as the number o small business lender

because of the radicalization that he'd gone through and becoming a jihadist, how do you react to that? >> well, just a shame. i really feel very sad about that because i myself have written a letter to eric holder shortly after the shooting and i asked him why, how did they drop the bomb? they knew of my son, the same fbi agent who investigated my son was from nashville. the same city my son was from, almost an hour within his arrest. and we asked the federal government for help. they knew all about what was taking place with my son in yemen, but yet, they had him some back to america and they supposed to have been surveying him, but it shows that they dropped the ball somewhere. and i think this whole matter could have been prevented if they had just did their jobs.

>> mike: and your son has not even been awarded a purple heart. he was denied that, why? >> the issue is what we've been told that he didn't know enough information about it, we provided a two inch thick thing that we had greened off the internet and articles on him, and then it came back, because it's a criminal act. now, what we're hearing is that the president might overturn or veto the national defense authorization act, because of the little rock purple heart issue, one of the reasons, and they're saying because arkansas tried him under a criminal law, not terrorism, you were the governor of arkansas, arkansas does not have any statutes relating to terrorism. that's a federal-- >> absolutely. >> for them to sit there and turn around. i was told by a person in the shoe, back in 2010, that some people think this is the way to go. and yeah, it's a way to go, if you want to bury something, we

received a letter from the president of the united states on the fifth of june, 2009, giving us a letter of condolences. letter of condolences, do not go to murder victims, who are soldiers in the united states. they go to-- we got a personal phone call from the president on the 11th and things started going downhill. we met with the u.s. attorney and with the fbi on the 2nd of september, 2009, and they basically said, they were continuing on, but they were glad that the state was pursuing it because they could continue their investigation without a time limit. >> mike: this is such a coverup. it's very apparent that there is an orchestrated attempt within the federal government to deny the facts, including the statement melvin, that your son made to the associated press in which he said he did it as an act of islamic terror and justified it and even called it common

sense, yet when you tried to say this to congress, this is the encounter and contempt tuesday response from members of congress, wheel i appreciate the anecdotes from toes who have spoken, i don't think that they're enlightening. >> what you've both gone through, is interesting the word you'd use to describe it. >> no, i think, i'll use it, describe it as a tragedy, worried about stepping on our toes and they're talking about stamping us out. >> mike: i find myself wanting to jump up and scream for heavens sake. anecdotes, it's interesting. no, it is the radicalization of a young american and then his using that radicalization to kill your son who is a military member, serving his country in uniform, killed in the line of duty. and our own government will not acknowledge why he died. and that's why i think this documentary is so very

important. daris and melvin, i want to say first of all, thank you, thank you for giving us an example of extraordinary capacity of grace to be able to sit together, to work together, to bring some sense and sanity out of the insanity that the government has dealt you, but also i hope, and i say this with all of my heart, i hope that you will get this documentary "losing our sons" watch it, get your friends, your family to see it. it opened my eyes to some things and i thought i was fairly informed. and it is powerful. it is a gut punch. that's the best way i can describe it. thank you, and god bless you, on this far as day, i'm so sorry that both of you have had to endure what you've had to endure.

me want to commit even more to helping dads be better dads and to raise healthy well adjusted children. >> what do we do to be better dads. what's the key thing that we've got to do in getting the job right? >> well, there's no one key thing, there are several things, but at the core of it is the involvement of the dad and emotionally in the lives of his children, but really, there are some principles, i think, that are key to helping raise healthy, well adjusted kids and surprisingly, the first thing, i think you need to focus on your marriage, interestingly enough. i told couples all the time. 75% of good parenting is a good marriage. if you want to be a great parent, have a good marriage and invest, and don't pull away when troubled times come to give time to your kids. and important to quip yourself with good fathering tools and one of the reasons i'm excited to be with you today.

to talk about my dad, but being a good parent is not instinctive, you don't naturally become a good parent. good parenting is learned, so, for dads, i would say that there are lots of good tools and equip yourself with good fathering tools. then i think a great tool is, you need to father with what i call the do as i do rule, not do as i say. because your character and your example is the best thing you can give your kids and then lastly, the reason i wrote the book modern day knight, i teamed up with some other dads and raising your sons, we had seven sons between us, we raised those seven sons together and the good news is, they turned out reasonably well, they're not in jail. >> well, you know, you talk a lot about relationships, not just with your kids, but with other dads and even the app you created is really about a way to develop relationships in small group studies, accountability groups where you're not just out there by

yourself. you're learning from other dads and other dads are holding you accountable. why is that so important? >> because life is so fast and dads, we, we men tend to be real focused and can get so focused on our jobs and so focused on our careers that we forget that the little things of everyday life is what it takes to be a great dad. >> mike: if i'm the father, fortunately, my kids are all grown, in 30's not teens. if i had a 16-year-old driving me nuts and what 16-year-old doesn't drive his dad nuts. >> exactly. >> mike: what would you tell me, dad to dad to say, here is something you ought to do that would better build that relationship with your son? >> one of the things things is, when your son moves in the teenage years, you have to change your role. you move from being a coach, kind of a head coach, where you can bark the orders, to you have to move to being a cheerleader, because, what a son most needs is not to be overcoached, if you start coaching him like you did when he was pre-teen,'s he going to start drawing back,'s going to

start reacting to you and rebelling against you. but, if you'll pull back on that, change gears and become a cheerleader, start pointing out to him over and over again, what he does well. after a game, rather than running up like, i wanted to do and tell my son, you know, if you'd just run that pattern better you would have caught three more passes, instead come to him and say, i love the effort that you're getting. you're doing great, son. and when you cheer for your son, your heart, and that's the key, with the son, your hearts begin to draw together and i think that's why at the end of the old testament, the last thing in the coming change of a culture, that the hearts of dads would turn back to their children. it's that heart connection that comes through cheerleading and encouragement during those teen years that makes a huge difference with a teenager. >> mike: well, it's great advice. and people can get the app and they can also get the book, raising a modern day knight at your website, robert, thank you very much.

i've known dr. robert lewis for a long time and know many of the men that have used the materials to help themselves to become much, much better fathers. great advice. i hope you'll get it. coming up, like father like son, a music cal father's day celebration that's going to feature fox's kelly wright and his son morgan. all of that and more, stay with us.
