this is "life, liberty & levin." he might have heard on monday the iowa caucuses begin. the republican primaries kicked off in earnest. but there is something taking place in this country that is so grave, it is so daunting that is the cloud overlaying the entire primary process of the selecti selection. like never before in american history. the democrat party, the democrat president biden has hand and pointed attorney general and the attorney general and put special counsel. democratic judges throughout the country, democrat prosecutors throughout the country, democrat othe trial juries throughout the country, are trying to affect

the republican process and the general election process using the criminal justice system at the local, state, federal level with 91 charges to try and convict both for the general election going into the general election. donald trump, the president is the candidate we have never seen this before the americans. ever. even during the first times of american history. let me remind you of something. i have to find the media and the department of justice, on may 25, 2020 eric garland issued a memo to all individuals in the department of justice especially federal prosecutors and investigators. simply flexing t put the memo ss partisan politics played no role in the decisions of federal investigators o and prosecutors regarding any investigation of criminal charges, that was in

2022. law enforcement officers and prosecutors never select the timing of public statement did not. the investigative steps, criminal charges of any other action any other manner or case for the purpose of affecting any election. or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage of any candidate for political party. such a purpose for the parents just the appearance of such a purpose is inconsistent with the department mission and the lives of federal prosecution. clout is something we could do that. 2020 the same exact memo that garland plagiarized, was issued in may 15, 2025 bill barr with the same exact language. in 2016 the same exact memo was issued by then attorney general

loretta lynch with the same exact language. 2012 pro promised attorney general issued the same exact memo with the same a active language but not done. george bush attorney general began the process of issuing this memo. ... the language of been copied and plagiarized by a subsequent attorney general. march 5, 2008. this is been the modern tradition that has been broken, that has been shredded, that is been destroyed by the provided regime and the merrick garland despite his memo. and then we had this effort by dividing the democrats to influence, to implement these criminal investigations. the "new york times" april 2, 20-point to garland 54 and pressure is generally sixth investigation widens the

relevant paragraph the attorney general's deliberative approach has come to frustrate for a credit balance of the white house and at times chris invited himself this is a belief to get the garment in the "new york times." as recently as late classroom and providing confided to his inner circle with former president donald trump as a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted according to people familiar with his comments. while the president has never communicate his frustrations direct darlin', he has said privately when it was mr. garvin to act less like a pond or the prosecutor ready to take decisive action of the events of generally sixth. he is telling garland directly no uncertain terms publicly the "new york times" and his surrogates, hard. sgt trump. i didn't sign off on fbi review of trump records the financial archives letter reveals. this is from fox news.

so, in order for this matter to be brief to the level of the documedocuments case, of the investigation of the department of justice white house had to sign off on it. that is exactly what they did. now, more guided on the documents case in june 2023 as he is campaigning for president. thereafter is indicted in genery sixth case two months later august 2023. smith sought a january 2 trial date that would have been last week. in the generate sixth case trial right before the iowa caucuses from smith cost per import last month to expedite review and a decision on claims of presidential immunity. yes the court on december 11 put pork eventually turned him down, what is the rush?

interfere with the election it is all intended to. the election an in defiance, in defiance of the previous attorney general republican and democratic administrations. popular with radical leftist they agree, they stepped in expedited hearing which they held last week, last wednesday they are moving quickly, this panel in order to get the case to court and why? what is the emergency? there is no emergency to the election held provided. all this is intended, all of it to affect the iowa caucus gop primaries, their hope for conviction on some somewhere for the general election. two federal cases brought by the department of justice to the truth election.

one case brought by a democrat d.a. who appears to be correct according to reports in advance of. another case brought by a radical pay democrat d.a. the case in washington d.c. was soaked with pop services substantively 18 section 242 originally cost us 241 and 1875" plan act. they are coming up with a possible first step is to follow joe biden's obviously directed 18 usc section 1512 difficult and run act. you think obstruction, it is nothing to to january 6 noted supreme court have to take that have been hit with that. eighteen usc section 71. used to prosecute federal contractors. the documents case. they had to have its fbi swat team was very, very publicly had to get a criminal warrants over

what? no act of 1875 the report woodrow wilson silenced and imprisoned his opponents in world war i. not used to have hilary clinton. not to use against bill clinton and the states in the stockport nokia since joe biden we know about the documents to the rest and so forth and so on. both consider of them surrogatei don't care what other legal families are telling you. both are crazy outrageous cases. they are cases of first impression not because of donald trump because of joe biden. that is why it. now biden is out there, says the other day there is no question from supporti supported directis generally sixth after the colorado ruling. he spoke to reported reporting in milwaukee they have simply ty competent insurrectioni insurret

self-evident you saw it all. but the 14th amendment applies a lot of the court make that decision but he certainly supported insurrection. there is no question about it nine, zero. he just communicated to the department of justice, to the special prosecutor, to the judges from all democrats tailoring the case in washington. julie would be a jury pool he has poison and tainted. yes he is an do everything possible to keep out of the white house. and then he gives speeches like he did on january 5, on januar january 5 a long outrageous disgusting speech in which he is telling not just the american people, not just the press, garland, smith, the appeals court, the tainting of these potential jurors in the democrat cities. trump is a dictator. frank does not believe in the

constitution. our democracy if he is reelected. it is up to you, attorney general, the special counsel, the judges and jurors to stop this man from becoming president of the united states. he is so program from beginning to end this is the public record if you imagine what is going on behind the scenes under the radar? joe biden is doing everything possible, everything to destroy the selection process so he can shuffle back in the oval office. that is the truth i will be right back

flexible in the back america i was an honor and a pleasure to have victor davis hanson with us. a very great intellectual. listen to look like to hide unless they are attacking the united states and he is certainly not one of them. you know victor davis hanson wrote a book on it. many years ago cited by then the late democratic governor of colorado.

richard lambert. i don't feel we have democrats like that anymore. what's happening on the border, they and humanity, the mayhem, the effects on all aspects of american society. this is an accident, is it fair? let us know it is deliberate. the message has gone out. it's not just to latin america it is all over the world. not only allowed to come here illegally but this administration want you too. i called him a racist advocates of the current replacement theory advocates of the open borders have written books they're not shy about a probleme demography is destiny their agenda does not appeal to people that crime on foreign policy, inflation of the dead new constituents release they want to grow government the other

problem with mexico. it's out of control 60 billion in consents that he gets from people here illegally the government to free up the cash in central mexico. $20 billion amnesty for 10 million people here social communist governments there is no respect for anymore. they interpreting like they listen to joe biden's treatment of israel what it should look like is told how it should fight a war told israel for taking a page out of the biden's foreign policy. let me ask you this. consequences of the society,

even if today we were to secure the border are monumental are they not given in millions and millions of people many of whom have not been invented had not been properly identified and dispersed throughout the country have been impacted by it. new line social services for things like diabetes treatments, or kidney dialysis, things like that. the social services are swamped. the irony is we are treating people who work here illegally and reside unlawfully better than citizens. emptying schools out occupy schools as corridors and the students are described as pushing the person teaching experiences. it is crazy. the citizen secondary to the illegal immigrants. we got rid of 8400 people out of the military because they did not want to get mrna vaccination.

many had her immunity and yet we don't ask any of these people have been vaccinated? if you wanted to destroy america it would be hard to think of a different way to do it in the right acre 10 million people that's was going to come divide administration t can brighten ad without any audit or background or any means of support especially with the attitude they have no respect. here are my conditions i'll say is my guest got it all wrong. many who psychologically change our attitude. i don't going to regret fight 2020 for the end of the year is going to be very difficult for the next decade or two very important points. about replacement theory such it is not a theory.

ideology and ideology of the marxist left they do want to change the citizenry to accommodate the viewpoints. a red blooded american citizens of all backgrounds of faith in all colors aren't buying into it. and they figure who will change the citizenry. we want to reengineer the citizenry. progressive fidelity anyway. they support for gen x100 and ago. 75 million people that are formed in the united states. we canno have statuses they are. that's an enormous challenge with assimilation and integration. we don't do that anymore.

the basis of pei go back to that melting pot very rapidly. specifically we come back and victor davis payne isn't that why we see what we see happening in our schools and three for right now? pete lack of assimilation? even of people born in america. that is assimilated into our history our defense, work, and our culture. isn't that due in part to student visas, people we imported into the country, and you're giving to individuals who hate the country. is this all sort of part of the same thing? when we come bac

night. i am jon scott and now back to "life, liberty & levin." >> welcome back america. lucy was going on in our streets in our colleges and universities, really supporting terrorist organizations, marxist organizations, isn't this all part of the same menu? the open borders, academia, the democratic party and so forth effects that common theme is it is a quality of racially mandated government equality and hatred of people who are successful for tried to work

hard. i don't like those people. i don't think they realize we're the only racial democracy in history that is overworked for me it is trying it, brazil is trying with very mixed results. very fragile idea and to make it work you have to have everybody except a common culture. it has to be incidental. it canncannot be a sense of whou are. we keep seeing for diversity, diversity, diversity. historically there is no society that is very successful being diverse. iraq has not worked, lawanda has not worked. this whole idea that unity individual incidental compared tto her comment americanness. and we've really got to get back to >> education. i don't think people died at shiloh for what this dream of

what america is becoming that was not the purpose of the prior generations. infinite wisdom and morality can pass a judgment with our current morality on people really built the country and for payment like we do. it is really a moral to do that for feif that's institutionalisr colleges and schools. 360 note victor, when i look at some of the leading voices against this country i think to myself what have you ever contributed to this country? what have you done for this country? here are ideologues who are trying to destroy what men and women have built. it is a new thing with this generation is doing, no? absolutely. i live in california this generation is so self-righteous and i say to myself what have you done? have you improve the system that wais built later grandparents?

have a panic to the help of your water project? how is high-speed rail going? why do we have no 14% income tax rate and let's look at the state is that planer doesn't have better law-enforcement, better education? the answer is no and yet they do things for generations that are getting cannot answer back they look at history as the melodrama is going to be an oppressor and oppressed not as a tragedy. none of these people they had to go on the oregon trail without water and the closest and waking state of oregon or california like her pioneer great-grandparents said they would not make it and yet there are so self righteous and become aware that some future generation is going to look back at us and save my thought you had millions of homes people defecating on the sidewalk you had over a million of work here. will it institutionalize anti-semitism in your great universities same on this generation we're going to be

good for the harshly and that's going to be pretty ironic. but i think it is well deserved break works great. expertise is more ancient history i would argue. we look at athens, you look at rome. and yet they could not survive. rome survived as a republic for what, 5:30 years? we are not even at 300 years however howare we doing compara? >> we were doing pretty well until two or three generations ago. the problem with the societies in antiquity antiquity hobbits t complacent they do not echoes the values are maintained from voting device that made them great when they were poor and struggling. they get complacent affluence and leisure birth and wonders what destroy civilization. we need to get back to the very basics we got to say to ourselves how did they do this in 1850 , 20 , 60? over the ingredients?

hard work, equality of opportunity not results. i got to the point where race was not a factor anymore in admissions or hiring prepare your credit official people all over the world come to the united states is the only place for liberty and free. or a higher standard than mandated equality so we can view it would just have to remember who we were. mark: we need a new ruling class that is for sure. victor davis hanson thank you for everything. you are very, very important to liberty and this time please. god bless you my friend.

mark: and welcome back america. we are here with government ron santos mcgovern florida obviously spreading in iowa on the caucuses and around the country. governor, i am really not interested in baseball, the police, where are you running at all about. i want to get to substance.

i really believe that people in iowa and all of the country here for the future of this country. they are looking for a statesman and a leader we were going to give us our country back and take on by then, the democrats, and marxist elements to the islamic elements in their party. they are concerned about what is happening in their schools, in the streets, on the borders and so forth and so on. so for the people of iowa in particular because the caucuses are taking place and clearly just a couple of days. and paul over the country, what you want to tell them about you and where you are the guy? next i am not running on any issues about me. i am not running on domestic issues i am running on your issues and your family issues with the sole focus of turning this country around. i am the only one running that's delivered a one 100% of my promises but i didn't state of florida. also the only one running, mark

he listed all of those problems, who is responsible for those problems? the political left and i'm the only one who can running his beat the left on issue after issue after issue in a state of florida meet hate the teachers unions like giving up universal school choice because she uncovered the door on wallace across a conflict with the democratic party by having election integrity and universal voter id and a valid harvesting would beat the left by banning china from sinkin sink land in e state of florida. so we have a situation where the country's going in the wrong direction wit vista client is nt inevitable it is a toy for the birth of my work when things do make a choice in new hampshire and so forth to tak say can we n around? we can turn it around i have shown that can be done in floriemploythe conservative pol. freedom works and ultimately that is going to be the debate between the floor. mark: and in florida as a governor for a period of you are

faced with a hostile media, basically mouthpieces for the democrat party? if so how did you feel about? >> yes of course. and really from the time i first ran into thousand and 18 they were against me. when you cultivate it and i was bucking the trend, plucking fauci, bucking that media by having the state open, schools open, they came after me. they were going for blood. it didn't occur to me what i was doing was not popular at the time because a lot of people were scared. but i knew it was the right thing to do if they have been really been going to make guns blazing ever since. but we do if they just speak to the people of florida i sho as e often communities talk about what we are doing. we go directly to the local news or whatever you have to do to put your stuff out of social media being on programs like yours or we are able to reach people what ends up happening is people get the liberal media has

an agenda for they understand that and so when they hear you speaking the truth that really doesn't resonate because people see all the nonsense going on in our country and our society. much of it is up to see perfectly the narratives funded by the corporate press and so approvitis powerful. we were able to go for four years with a universally hostile media and state of florida estate that has usually been decided by one percentage point either way. november 2022 won 221 electiont 20 points in the history of florida governor's races. i think it you are right people and statesmanship. they want leadership. they know that you are willing to fight for them and they see they can when it is not easily y they will come out and support you in droves. they just want to know you got your back shows that on issue after issue we stick up for the kids against disney saying we

should not have a different gender ideology in the schools. when we support the police and prevented riots on and on down the line he said for people and the people responded. that can be applied nationally. yet people who are very liberal voters who have a lot of people who may not be traditional they want a restoration of sanity. they see the nonsense going on the schools they want parents to write so they say in the city's collapsing because of crime they don't want that they want a lot fofliveorder with the border opw to the point where they are shutting down schools in new york city the kids shut down schools cannot get in person and how th illegal aliens in the schools. i like in 2024th and look like 1980 when you had an unpopular democrat president there is a hunger for a new direction what

people said ronald reagan he did not have a chance, this or that. in a similar situation. they're not working well nationally they have not for quite some time. they needed change of direction and a new birth of freedom. that is what we represent given what we did in florida. mark: 2020 and many of our cities were burning. things were under attack. there were riots, people died, people were assaulted, small businesses were destroyed. police precincts were packed. we mention cities like new york and los angeles, and seattle, and portland, and detroit, and on and on and on. the cities we don't mention his jacksonville, miami as many of them in the state of florida. is that just happenstance for what happened in that regard? >> it is a dedication of law and order. when he started to see the blm

riots break out in minneapolis i called out the national guard in florida. i activated state law enforcement to sucking our shirts and our police department in those areas. 2.8 million people o the largest county in florida. those boats were not in the put up with this. we will working hand in hand you can protest all you want that's a first amendment rights. you cannot burn down cities right, you cannot leave anything to be held accountable of the result was no city in florida burned down you never saw me out there virtues signaling against the police like fashionable at the time the police have a vital function and to make things less safe that is what has happened and he started defending people when they were attacking the police to create huge future problems in those places. in a florida not only do not

defund the police i signed legislation banning local governments. any city council and collect the review can never fully rose those collected on some city council were going to let them cut off their nose to spite their face by defining law enforcement from citizens at risk because they are on an ideological employee right. also given $5000 signing bonus enough of two police officers te new to law-enforcement both the new recruits, young people but also to transfer. we have had people from seattle, new york, chicago, all these places have fled. they come to sorta get a nice signing bonus and what is important if they get support from the community for this crime rate is at a 50 year low with that of course is not the case in places like california, and illinois within really turn their back on the law and order. think about it, people flee from this place if you florida and they tell me this stuff. whatever the crime rate is there are a lot of crimes that never

gets processed to the system because people know it's futile to reports of these things. we had people move from san francisco tell me criminals broke into their home and the police said you're not going to press charges, are you? and the like yes and they think you're not going to prosecute relief to get plugged in l.a. and they won't prosecute. that the culture of lawlessness thamakes it less safe. it has hollowed out those communities. i am proud of florida and we have done it right. people could always count on us to be a law and order state. mark: the governor will make it back to a considerable part in the minds of most americans i'm sure i was as well. immigration and the expense of table items, cars, driving all othe rest regardless of these figures that washington comes up with an inviting administration splits happening in people's homes. to duckduckgo on all your devie
