has demanded key documents that attorney general eric holder has brazenly withheld on the flimsy excuse that they would endanger undercover agents. folks, that's too convenient. i think holder is hiding a far more sinister truth. >> fast and furious. do you know what that was about? let's get some guns from some arizona gun shops into the hands of some drug cartels and let them start wiping people out, then we'll spread the news that those guns came from america! >> they're flooding mexico with guns so they can turn around and say look at all these guns showing up at violent crime scenes in mexico. we have to regulate these gun shops in america. >> very clearly they made a crisis and they're using this crisis to somehow take away or limit people's second amendment rights. >> stephen: yes, very clearly! obama started this gun-tracking program in 2006 when he hypnotized george bush. (laughter) then he secretly order attorney general holder to order the justice department to order the a.t.f. to order gun shops to sell guns to mexican drug cartels and then lose track of them thereby panicki

has as part of its commission to investigate. when the ranking democrat comes out and says well, yeah, eric holder has been reasonable but our committeeou know eric holder is in trouble. the justice department might be wiser to give them documents even if they are somewhat embarrassing and show the attorney general has cooperated and if they didn't have complete information or maybe the information they released publically was incomplete. get it out there because the longer this drags on i think there is more of a distraction for the attorney general and it feeds right into what republicans want. republicans want to talk about eric holder fast and furious and the botched operation in mexico. the more they can talk about it, the more eric holder gives them ammunition for that. i think it's a problem for democrats. tim from california, you are on the bill press show. good morning. >> hey. how are you doing? >> good. how are you this morning? >> all righty. i wanted to say that first off, it started under the bush administration and we have to go back and remember during that bush administration, they got rid of a lot of the department o

at the same time as colin said, eric holder has not given them a choice. one of the problems here is that the justice department, one thing that we know about fast ap furious is that the justice department was not honest with congress about the very existence. and that's a provocation that congress had to therefore investigate. and now that he's handing over the documents they go on with the contempt proceedings. >> the contempt proceedings, it's a big deal. in the last 40 years, there's only within four contempt citations by congress against the executive branch. during the carter administration, janet reno during the clinton administration and most interestingly, they issued one against harriet miers and john bolton during the bush administration over the firing of federal attorneys. so, i'm not sure that the-- this is a serious issue between congress and eric holder, but in the political season right now, there are political liabilities for both of them going down this path. the republicans might not win that con at the point in time vote, on the other

eric holder as well. i mean, the fact is that he has changed his testimony multiple times. the documentation shows the opposite of what he said. the documentation shows exactly the opposite of what assistant attorney general lanny breuer said under oath in front of congress. and so i think perjury is definitely one of them. looks, they're looking at roger clemens -- >> host: not just looking, retrying him a second time. >> guest: exactly. so when we take the two cases, and the difference is these guys worked for the government, and roger clemens is, you know, a public person, but he's not a government official. and so it comes down to who's above the law here. so i think perjury and also possibly obstruction of justice charges. >> host: do you think, um, that what is, what has happened so far constitutes from your vantage point a willful cover up? >> guest: oh, absolutely. from day one -- >> host: there could be no ore explanation from your -- other explanation from your vantage point? is. >> guest: no. >> host: not misremembering things, being poorly brief, being less than

you come here and it's a whole new ball game while austrian to mirror past eric has had a timely confidence boost ahead of the grand slam she saved five much points to be in the final of the east born international was unseeded for this tournament and before it began she had been on a terrible run winning only two matches this year but she has suddenly hit form on grass after losing the first set seven five she came back to level and. then showed her real fighting spirit in the decider she saved a match point five three down and then slipped and twisted her ankle but she dug deep and braved the pain and went on to save another for match point eventually winning the final six seven five for the match as it faces world number one and was the n.c. in the first round of women though she's not thinking about that you know. it's so much of emotions right now and more than happy achieved what i wanted to achieve this week out of nowhere out of no winning matches this year so it's an incredible feeling i'm so happy and the crowd just kept me going you know i twisted my ankle be there slide it so it

some of you, i think, eric has heard -- how many of you have heard of the white citizens council. okay. some people call them the uptown clan. they were people dedicated to the idea of maintaining racial segregation and they were often very powerful people in the community. my personal favorite in terms of these new organizations was the national association for the advancement of white people. this was an organization that was created in order to try to stymie racial integration. perhaps the most sinister of these organizations, i'm sorry, i should have pulled these up, these are images that reflect the opposition, growing opposition to segregation. i love the woman holding the sign, integration is a moral sin. that opposition was palpable. i'll give you some more images in a minute. but i want to talk about this one. the mississippi sovereignty commission. this was one of the organizations that was established to try to block not just block desegregation in mississippi, but to try to block any effort to change the racial status quo. how many of you heard of the mississippi sover

(laughter) the house oversight committee has been investigating the debacle but attorney general eric holder has refused to turn over some 80,000 documents that chairman darrell issa has demanded siting as grounds that they need the papers to gift wrap other weapons for an exciting new prison program christmas guns for convicts. (laughter) you know, i'm sure there's a lot of bull (bleep) partisan type investigations that go on on capitol hill, many of them designed to merely tie up or damage the administration, but here's the thing: the a.t.f. did send a bunch of guns to mexican drug gangs. one of those guns was used to kill a u.s. border agent. so you know if holder didn't turn over the documents this was coming. >> the committee meets today to consider reporting a resolution to the house of representatives finding the attorney general eric holder, jr., in contempt of congress. >> jon: ow. that's got to sting. congress holding something else in contempt.

it's about policy, and so, no, they just haven't responded, and attorney general eric holder has said look, i've testified seven times in front of congress about this. aren't you satisfied? well, we're not satisfied because he hasn't been giving us answer. gives the same nonanswers and same noncompliance, and he made it very clear in february, when he testified, that he wasn't going to give anymore information about this. you're not complying. you're stonewalling. you look at the numbers and the evidence, and we're just not getting anything out of this administration when it comes to the promise of being transparent. >> host: you said a moment ago we're not satisfied. as you approach this story in the sense of alignment with chairman issa and chairman -- senator grassley? do you feel like you're an active participant in the investigator -- do you have skin in this game intel electric tombly? >> guest: i am just a regular person who thinks this is wrong and i talked to a lot of democrat's have said fast and furious needs to be investigated further. pack it out, fox news contributor sai
