of the criminal enterprise known as the irs and the evidence that just went missing. we learned that the va failed to serve our veterans worse than we thought. senator coburn said there were not 40 deaths in the mismanagement of our veterans, but the number is a thousand. these are people who survived the battle field but couldn't survive the bureaucratic mine fold. even the liberals on the supreme court couldn't abide the president's reckless disorder of appointing members to the labor board. they voted 9- 0 to over turn his autocratic rule of pen and phone. the supreme court rowelled that the government can't just snoop
12:03 am
through your smart phone because they stopped you for speeding and the government can't strip first amendment rights of pro-life advocates who stand on the sidewalk. if you detect a pattern in all of these stories, it is because of every one of them, government is working against the people instead of for them. government can be like a fire. a little can cook food and warm a home. to which the house burns down. our world is on fire. whether it is the state of massachusetts believing they can trample over the rights of a mother and father or a terrorist organization becomes part of a palestinian government and your tax dollars continues to fund even as t-cell wrats the kidnapping of throw school boys and a rogue agency so drib by partis an zeal it used the

unlimited power to destroy businesses and people, to carry out revenge on those who express dissent on their government. and stifle from the search and sewsure. houston, we have a problem. and the problem is a government that is a cancer instead of a cure. government thatbu23÷ destroys hy parts of our freedom to feed itself and disregards its intended purpose, to serve and to serve with honor. our republic and the world itself it is on the brink of collapse because of the lack of morality. we know the problem, but it is time ta we demand a solution. and that requires diminishing the power of the plutocrates and return the power to the people before the last voice of liberty is snuffed out, we better do it
12:05 am
now. (applause) in february 2013, lou and linda pelittier brought their child to the boston emergency rom. they didn't know they were about to experience a nightmare that lasted a year and a half. >> she's been treated differently. every other patient said see their parents and free discussions. and justina could not only see us or talk to us. all of the holidays and birthday asks eastern and christmas and thanksgiving she was alone. >> this is what justina's life was like. oisealated from her loved ones and in custody of the common wealth of massachusetts. >> she was meant to so her doctor. and she was taken without notice
12:06 am
and brought up to the neurology floor and as far as i know and based on fbi involvement that is kidnapping. >> the psychological route the experiment failed. >> she spent most of her time in a mental health facility in massachusetts. we continued to fight for her release on the show. >> if it happens to you it can happen to go parent in the country. and that should not happen in the united states of america. if our bringing light to the case helps justina to be getting the help she is. i apologize for nothing. i hope the state of massachusetts will apologize to justina and her family. in april, reverend mahoney discussed a face-to-face encounter he had with massachusetts governor duvall
12:07 am
patrick. >> i think she should be. >> then. let me say. >> we have appeared in court in order to have her sent home. >> we'll see if they can end the nightmare. >> parents know what is best for their children more than the government or bureaucracy. >> and may 12th, the state ordered that justinna could be moved from massachusetts but not home to her family. justina arrived in a connecticut facility and the only thing standing in between justina and her family was justice johnson. and justina pleaded with him. you can do it. you are judging it. please let me go home judge johnson. >> finally on judge 17th, the judge signed the order. she was returned to connecticut back to her home and back to her family and back to her life. ladies and gentlemen, it is my

12:09 am
who heard about your situation was outraged by it. now that you are out. when you were there, what was the hardest part? separated from your family and notably to talk to them when ever you want to. >> yes, very hard. i couldn't talk to my father. one hour super voiced with d~ cf. one phone call a week super vised with d~ cf. and it was hard. you couldn't talk to about things you wanted to talk about. and you couldn't talk about anything that, you can't talk about what is going on. and it was just. >> they kind of say this is what you can or can't say. and you are 15 when you were kidnapped. i think that is what they did. >> and you spent almost a year
12:10 am
and a half. you are 16 now and just had a 16th birthday. >> uh-huh. >> you know, i guess the hard part for me. you weren't there with your friends and had limited contact with your family and not able to go to church or school, i guess part of what i think all of us, were you ever told why you were there? what did they tell you? >> they told me they that they d~ cf took custody of me, and that my family can't talk to me and they were saying that they were over medicalizing, which they were not. they were bringing me to gi because i had flu- symptoms, and my gi doctor went to boston children's. and then he move he was at tufts and then went to boston children
12:11 am
and went to emergency room there. >> that must have been scary for you. >> it was very scary, i had, no one was on my side there and believed me there. and everyone thought i was faking and that all of this medical stuff, they stopped all of my medicine. >> when they stopped your medicine, your condition went downhill? >> yes. >> so instead of getting stronger which is why people go to the doctor and hospital, you went from being a figure skater to being in a whole chair in >> uh-huh. >> for over 16 months they had you and instead of getting better you got worse? >> they didn't care. they were saying that i was improving, which i was not. and they were just trying to
12:12 am
make excuses repeat words around with my family which were not doing anything wrong. i love them so much and i cannot believe i am home with them. >> you have a beautiful family and i have gotten to know them as i tried to get you home. and one of the things i found they love you so much. they were, i mean, i never sewn a family who wanted so much for someone to come home as your family did for you. you gou they loved you. >> always. i know they loved me and they are my family. and i love them so much and they love me so much. >> linda, tell me as a mother, i can't imagine what the horror was like for you that the state of massachusetts takes your daughter from you and never gives you a good reason ever, and forces you to just stand back and fight for her, tell me the worst of all of these 16
12:13 am
months that you have been through. >> the worst thing that i went through, i was so worried every night, all day long, not knowing what they were doing to her, i could not call, or get an update of what was going on with her. i found out she had pneumonia and one doctor final loo called me and said lunda, she's not doing well. i said why am i blocked out. i don't know what they have done to her and i was continuously worried and days i couldn't function because i don't understand why they did this. there is no explanation. >> there is not a mother in america not crying their eyes out for you, linda. everybody feels that. we'll talk to lou, justina's dad and all of her sisters and we'll be right back with this
12:17 am
>> we are back with the peliter family that have been through the america's worst nightmare. this is justina. one thing i want to correct you, 14 when you first went under the custody of the state of the massachusetts. you experienced two birthdays while in captivity i would say. lou, as a father, you fight valiently for your daughter. and you've come on this show and we talked before. you have been out there. and one of the things that people don't understand. this disrupted your whole family and your ability to make a live anything provide for your family. i don't think that people don't understand it is not only the
12:18 am
separation from justina that you have been through but the separation of being able to provide and earn a living? >> governor, thank you again for having us. and you have been a champion for us. we can't thank you enough for what you have done for us. >> absolute loy. >> that last 16 months, the whole system the way it is set up whether it is in massachusetts or whatever. you are fighting the state you are in and they have dope pockets, the state of massachusetts and d~ cf and the hospital behind them. >> can i point out the reason they have dope pockets that their pockets are your pockets and they continue to reach in them and they have unlimited ability to take money from us. on the other hand you have limited resources with which to fight for justina. >> again you are fighting the two headed go li ath.
12:19 am
boston children's which is known by harvard and they are wealthy. you are a private citizen and not work anything attorneys fighting and going back and forth. in a short period of time it is amazing how many assets you can go through. and that's part of the problem. once they take the child they go down the a lois and wonder land rabbit hole. and that needs to change. >> that is disturbing. not only did they take her and kept her and never gave an explanation for why justina was being held in their custody. and all of this time you can't get information. you asked for it and you are told you can't have it or see your daughter. i think most people are just stunned and they never came up with a reason other than they
12:20 am
wanted to test her for what they believed all being in her head and turned out not to be the case. >> it was a mad psychiatric experiment and jeopardizing her safety by not following the protocol which for justina was taking off all medication because they said it was in her head. dr. coating a blow said it takes over a year to diagnosand one of the most nebullous diagnosis. and to do it after a 25 interview they had their own agenda. they have pet projects to work on and happens to be boston children's pet project. a pet psychiatric illness and that is their speciality. but they do it because they can.
12:21 am
>> justina, when you got home, i am assuming your sisters were glad to see you, did you have to start sharing a room with one of your sisters. was she okay with that. >> it is tough. but i am changing it. >> we are going to have more with the pelletiers and including the sisters i will give them equal time so they can respond.

12:33 am
congresswoman michelle batch man and this is the full strekt rum. and one thing that people agree justina the way you were treated should not happen. justinna's law will cut off federal funding to an organization that carries out experiments on the child without the family's permission. it is wonderful because of your parents, their tenacity and family strength. hopefully the laws will change and no one will have to go through what you have been through. that's what we hope for. >> oh my gosh, that is awesome. >> it is awesome. you are the only one i ever said going to. and long- term, what are you hoping happens with all of this

12:35 am
mahoney for that. he was so much part of our lives and you were so supportive and pat talked to her many times and he's never sewn such a spiritual child. >> she is a beautiful, beautiful person. justina, we all love you and lou and linda thank you for sharing your story. i hope people will help you. they go to your website. free justina.com; thank goodness you don't have to fro her. >> save justina. >> if they go to urth one. >> we have a lot of bills coming forward and like right now we found out we may not be able to use her gi doctor. and she has had a massive stroke when she was younger and there is a lot of complications in her medical and we don't know, we don't know where the future will bring us. there is other hospitals to go

12:41 am
former aide to the obama cam 59 mark hannah and legal analyst ken zimmerman. >> lois lerner pleads the fifth and now she targeted and specifically tried to get charles grassley in trouble even though there was no evidence he accepted the invitation for his wife. is it time for a special prosecutor. >> i think it the be a lot of time and money. i would tell you this, hard drives crash a lot. mine has crashed and other people's hard drives have crashed and data out there. hard drives, 20 percent of them don't make it pass the fourth anniversary. there is no crim nalg. >> most of us have had that experience. but the oars was to keep back up taken tapes and why department
12:42 am
they keep them immediately and are by law to archoif the information. and they did not. and a lot of us are having a hard time to believe that her e-mails and that went to someone. even lany davis suggested a special prosecutor is in order now. mark, let me turn to you. if this same thing was happening under a republican administration, you think there would be as much attention. we have had more news about chris christie and a bridge and scott walker and things that turned out not role issues and these are localitate things and made more national news than the irs that touches every single american. >> and so if something like this went on in the bush administration and liberal groups were targeted by the irs. it is very well documented that george bush went after the na cp and a progressive leaning church
12:43 am
in pasadena and that didn't receive a lot of attention from the mainstream media or this network and so there is not a standard. fox did a good job when it a pores there was foul play in political activity was happening, as darril isis investigation continues and fails to be evident to support the allegations, that's when the other media outlets are turning off to this. >> you think it is because it is destroyed? there is evidence that funny stuff was going on when the person claims the fefth amendment they are usually protecting themselves from incrimination. >> they are transparent and they have turned offer this happeneds of pages. and we are talking in the green rom. darril issa wants to subpoena e-mails in '86. it is political, governor. >> john boehner might sue the

president and a lot of people are saying does he have grounds for that. we have a minute left. give me your thoughts, dow think there is any basis or standing and where does it go? >> the federal courts said many times, they are not in the business of settling fights. back in ten members tried to sue the president. even if the federal courts hear. it the president has immountainity from damages for official act in office. the president upons it will not go anywhere. it is a nonstarter. >> mark? >> look, i think we should, if congress wants to constrain the powers of the excutive they should pass legislation instead of going after and suing hip. you have too many lawyers when we elect to congress. they are just sowing the white
12:45 am
house. >> i think you may be right on this one. congress has the power of the purse, they can dut off the funding and if there is an agency that has gone rogue they can not fund. it i would be delighted if they would tell the irs they are defunded. pass the fair tax and repeal the 16th amendment and get rid of the irs. >> sounds great to me. >> thank you, guys. we will have you back. >> a new york synagogue calling for the free release of kidnapped american teens. the bottom of the bill board hash tag bring back our boys. why isn't the kidnapping a bigger deal on our government. why isn't the first lady tweeting bring back our boys. female announcer: time is running out to get the hottest deal

12:49 am
>> this past week i was in israel. my first trip was in 1973. and one of the things i never understood, is why the irrational antisemitic racism directed toward the israelis? during the kidnapping of throw teenage boys, official website page for the palestinian authority has a picture of three rats and they're being celebrated of being caught. this is what the israelis have to put up with. it is something that most americans never would teleerate. i remind you, that the united states gives funding to the
12:50 am
palestinian authority whose website put that on. i can't imagine. no other and i've spoken to college parents and asked them how they found out their son had been kidnapped. >> we actually got a text message from him, that he's on his way home from school and it was an evening, so we went to sleep. waking up in the middle of the night, discovering he's not there, realizing that such a responsible kid wouldn't just disappear and since then, it's the tenth day already, we're in this real setting, unbelievable. everybody's looking for him. the army, the intelligence, everybody's doing their best. it's really unimaginable. it's horrifying. >> literally, thousands of israeli soldiers are combing the countryside, looking for these
12:51 am
three boys. do you sense and understand the enormous amount of attention that the people of israel are giving to the safe return of him? >> well, we feel -- we hear from everyone that all the country is with us, all the people are with us. the soldiers and their families and the whole country. we feel, is one big unit and we are worried for him and his friends. and at the same point, we're worried for all the soldiers s t there, looking for him day, nights weekends, the heat of the day and at night and in the area, which is sort of a cool area. so we just feel everyone, together with us. >> if you could say something to those who might know their whereabouts, what would you say to them? >> well, i would speak out to
12:52 am
any decent person in the world that cares about this story, any parent, any person that could imagine what it is, waiting for your kid to come home from school and learning that he was kidnapped, if there's anything they can do to help us, if it is intelligent, and if it is prayer and goodwill and public opinion, everybody should hear about it. we want to get the three boys back home. >> javi, you had contact with the other families whose sons were kidnapped. is that a source of encouragement to talk to them? >> yes, of course. we met and we're going to meet again. they're the only ones who can understand exactly what we feel. so it's like a support group, in a way and it helps. it helps that we have other people together with us, thinking together, and seeing what we can do to help bring
12:53 am
them, all three of them, safely back home. >> even though hamas has denied involvement, the prime minister has suggested that they're behind this, and there obviously must be some evidence to make that claim, do you feel this may be a wake-up call to people around the world, to see this new partnership between hamas and the palestinian authority, to be reminded of what hamas is really all about? >> well, really, i don't want to go into the politics of it, but anybody who's capable of doing something like this, something morally, basically wrong with it, but in that way, our energies are limited. we're trying to stay sane during these crazy days. so, we limit ourselves to, you know, preserving the family and the sanity and bringing our story out there. and we know the government and the american government and the military and the intelligence
12:54 am
are doing everything humanly possible to get them back. >> while i was in israel, i was struck by the children's awareness of israel's historical connection to god. it reminded me of how few of america's kids understand the crucial role of god in u.s. history. now, with independence day this week, we should all remember god's incredible role in making america into the incredible nation that we are. i'm proud to be part of the learner history dvd series for children. and you can get a free dvd to introduce your kids or your grandkids to the learn our history series. you can get it at the freegoddvd.com. well, so you're getting ready to host or attend a cookout to celebrate independence day. up next, find out how you can help our troops and veterans have a pizza party all on their own.
12:58 am
well, before we go, i've got our friend, master sergeant mark evans with me. he's the founder of pizza for patriots. they send hundreds of thousands of pizzas to our troops, serving around the world, to give our members who are in the military a little taste of home. mark, you've got something very special planned for the fourth of july and you've sent pizzas to folks in afghanistan. something different this year. what's up? >> yes, sir, mike. we're so blessed, i want to
12:59 am
thank you. we plan on doing pizza parties at 50 different veteran hospitals. we call it adopt-a-va. >> wonderful. >> for our warriors coming home. >> the va's been so much in the news and a lot of controversy about the neglect. what you're doing is trying to make sure these veterans are not forgotten and a little taste of pizza during the fourth of july week just lets them know that there are a lot of americans on their side. >> yes, sir, it sure does. it's just telling them, hey, we really care about you. everyone should do what they can, that's my theory. i've been doing this for years and years with the v.a. and we've shipped over a million slices to our shoulders in the middle east and this fourth of july, 5,000 pieces will go out. >> sergeant, i just thank you again for what you do. it's a great honor. i hope every american will get out and get on your computer and make it happen for the veterans. let's do it. >> thank you! >> that's it for now. this is mike huckabee from new
