♪ b6 hello america i am mark levin and this is "life, liberty & levin" sunday. i'm very glad you're here this is a good show i can feel it we got great guest, peter schweizer exclusive interview and he's got massive information about communist china and how they are buying off republicans and democrats. first time you going to hear about it in just a few minutes we have a great law professor, we are going to talk to him about some of the issues that are out there as well paid i'm glad you are with us. but first i want to tell you folks about individual named tyson timms. pleaded guilty in indiana state court to dealing in a controlled substance. and conspiracy to commit theft. at the time of tim's arrest the police seized a land rover suv

timms had purchased for $42000 paid the money he received from an insurance policy when his father died the state sought civil forfeiture of tim's vehicle charging the suv had been used to transport heroin. observing he had recently purchased the vehicle for more than four times the maximum 10,000 dollar monetary fine assessable against him for the drug conviction the indiana trial court denied the state's request to turn over his $42000 vehicle. the vehicles of forfeiture court determined that would be grossly disproportionate to the gravity aof tim's offense and therefore unconstitutional under the eighth amendment excessive fines clause. the court of appeals of indiana agreed. they affirmed the indiana supreme court said no we reverse. because the eighth amendment of the federal constitution of the bill of rights, it does not apply to the state penalty. what again is the eighth

amendment's sake? would never talked about it more than we are now, why? i brought it up and my friend arthur ferguson he was a brilliant attorney we were the first to point this out. what is happened in new york against donald trump is clearly a violation of the eighth amendment, stick with me, this is very important. why does it say? excessive bail should not be required nor excessive fines imposed. nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted. does that raise nor excessive fines imposed have anything to do with the states? i read you the summary of the facts from a decision the timbs versus indiana decision in 2019 mer four and a half years ago this decision was available to let t-shirt james the state attorney of new york. this was available to the judge of the crony judge in this case it is available to the whole world. it sets a standard for the

united states including the state courts and what they can and cannot do. so, what did the supreme court say? first about nine -- zero decision. not a single justice agreed with the state prosecutors and the state government. not one. the majority opinion had seven bipartisan justices there were two concurring opinions but they all agreed that violated the eighth amendment. they wrote this and the opinion was written by ruth gator ginsburg. the excessive fines clause is an incorporated under the states on the 14th a moment due process clause. so it applies to the states through due process under the 14th amendment is called the incorporation doctrine that is why the first memo, second member virtually all the other amendments are applied to the states because when their face they don't apply to the states. the supreme court says these do

and this does this is a four and a half years ago. the judge in the case does he not read the supreme court decision? the attorney general does she not read it or not care about it? here it is we care about the 14th a moment due process clause incorporates and renders applicable to the states a billf rights protections quote fundamental to our scheme of ordered liberty deeply rooted and this history and tradition. this is from the court, unanimous. bill of rights protection is incorporated there is no daylight between the federal and state conduct it prohibits or requires. they go on the prohibition in body and the excessive fines clause carries forth protection found in sources from that magna carta, the magna carta of 2015. it aired years old by matter fact to the english bill of rights tuesday constitution from the colonial era to the present day protections against excessive fines.

has been a constant shield threat angle american history for good reason. such a fines undermine other liberties. they can be used for example to retaliate against speech and political enemies. they can be employed, not in service of penal purposes but as a source of revenue. the historical and logical case for concluding the 14th amendment under the due process clause incorporates excessive fines clause is indeed overwhelming. in other words the case that was brought against donald trump should never have been brought too. there should not have been fines or should not have been anything. this case against donald trump is a greater, more grave violation that anything we have ever seen under the excessive fines part of the eighth amendment much worse than in the timbs case the case brought

against president trump violates over 800 years of history of western enlightenment. and dating back to the magna carta. president trump's case is much stronger than anything before it's. much stronger than the timbs case the court ruled on, why? the prosecutor for the state, let t-shirt james campaign for office on the platform of destroying donald trump. her statements are now evidenced of her intent and motivation and any appeal and is central to the violations of the eighth amendment. two, the state consumer fraud statute used against president trump has never been use this way against anybody else in the history of the statute by the state of new york, ever. it has been used against tim and his family. the associated press reviewed nearly at my report, as they were pork, water 50 reported cases under the statute used to punish mr. trump and stated that

nearly every previous time the company was taken away, victims and losses were key factors. customers have lost money are brought defective products or never received services ordered leaving them cheated and angry. actual fraud, harm, detrimental reliance for those of the three elements of fraud. no one was defrauded here. no one was harmed. about proof of detrimental reliance fo. then of them exist. awesome, note testimony by anyone who lost anything. no complaints filed by any bank, by any insurance company, by any lender. in fact the testimony was to the contrary. now, there is no trial, there is no jury. wow. sounds like pretrial 15 if you asked me. the judge ruled on the papers. ruled donald trump was guilty. and that was that. all of the back and forth the hearings were about the fines

and the penalties. before it donald trump stepped into that court room he was guilty according to this democrat elected judge and i want you to think about that. i walked into that courtroom he was already adjudicated guilty. the judge in the case, an elected democrat like the prosecutor, an e and elected det had made earlier statements and other settings very negative about donald trump that should have called him to recuse himself. but obviously didn't. none of them do in any of the cases. we know they are biased against tron. now we go beyond the fact what this judge should have ruled immediately is madame attorney general you have no case under the timbs case you have no case because a case like this it's ever been brought you've been talking about the former president of the united states but you're talking about a candidate for the president of the united states. your talk about a man who built the skylight in new york city. you are bringing me a cockamamie

case. next thing you'll bring that ku klux klan case, wait they already did that in washington. what does the judge do? he orders nearly half a billion dollars in fines and interest. orders of president trump and his sons to turn his business over to the state. effectively the state of new york. to be managed by a number federal prosecutor of his choosing. let t-shirt james, they state prosecutor she has made the rounds on the sunday shows it bragging about what she accomplished. it bragging about how she upheld her campaign promise. so, it trump trump property she, if he does not come up with $400 million was effectively gone in order to have the privilege of appealing the decision by this judge by the state government. she will seize the properties and sell them from under him. from under him and pennies on

the dollar. think about this. you know what this is? from her campaign statements, from the judge's prior statements and that use of a statute that's never been use this way against anybody else in the history of new york. the lack of a trial, the lack of a jury, the decision of the papers. and all of the rest of it. this is a case of a violation of the eighth amendment's. it is not even a closed case. the state prosecutor and judge had to know in 2019 the supreme court rule this kind of state action was absolutely unequivocably constitution in violation of the bill of rights under the 14th t mm due process close. the judge e judge even said pret trump in his statement i am doing what's close to the maximum if not the maximum because you did not show remorse. you did not bend your knee. he did not kiss the hand of the

state that is the hand of the king. so we are stealing your property out from under you. we are stealing it. and we are going to sell it if we have too. you will have no recourse. no recourse? what did ruth bader ginsburg say in her decision nine -- zero they ruled. other liberties are affected. other liberties are affected. when a king, when a tyrant, when a dictator in state and the federal government treats citizens this way. there is absolutely no legitimate basis of any kind legally, factually from what was done here except real property from donald trump to try to bankrupt him. because he is donald trump he is the former president. because he's running for president. they are doing the dirty work of the democrat party and the

who uncovers really cd mock in our government and by certain populations than peter schweizer. it's always an honor to have peter on the program is an exclusive guest when he has a new book coming up here he does not just put out books. his books, his team does an enormous amount of research they back it up with facts and footnotes. it is always jaw-dropping. his new book blood money why the powerful turn a blind eye while china kills americans is stunning. it is sending in the breath of jewish communist china owns the government it is stunning and the extent to which it affects our society. it is stunning by the fact that we have a president of the united states and a family, has peter has reported before, that is taken tens of millions of dollars which is one of the reasons why they do not sign up to communist china. peter schweizer welcome going to jump right into your book were

not going to go to cover the whole thing. but folks, if you get any book this is the book you need to get and the sooner the better it cos out on tuesday. what's china's foot soldiers. china's foot soldiers in america. what do you mean by that? >> you look at a situation like the pentacle crisis it is killing 100,000 americans a year. a lot of people know the precursors come from china. what they don't know is china's involved in every single chain in this link that leads to the death of americans. the precursors come to a port in mexico it is run by a chinese company. they send the precursors up to a small border town in mexico were 2000 chinese nationals help them turn it into fentanyl. they take a pill pill presses te imported from china that are sold to the drug cartels at cost by the chinese. they make these pills they then bring them across the border into the united states.

now the mexican cartels need a way to communicate securely they use a chinese apps in chinese communication devices because they know the chinese will not share that information with american law enforcement and finally, when the drug cartels collect all this money that used to launder it back on the old days with cocaine they would launder the profits and latin america banks appeared to date they launder them and chinese banks. so they fentanyl crisis is completely one that is delivered from china the problem is our political leaders people like joe biden, people like gavin newsom people like adam schiff have ties they have entanglements to some of the networks involved in this process. money laundering et cetera. if you just look at joe biden for example the chinese and gangster that set up the cartel with offense and old, made then the kings of fentanyl he goes by

the name white wolf. white wolf has a business partner. that business partner gave the biden family $5 million. so does job i didn't really want to have a conversation about chinese involvement in the fentanyl crisis? he does not and his policy show it. mark: you mentioned adam schiff and he mentioned newsom tells about their links. >> gavin newsom at the same way he does not want to talk about china's involvement in the fentanyl crisis. even though the amount of fentanyl deaths in california has gone up more than 1000% since 2016. he took a trip to china, had nothing to say about this. said it's not about finger-pointing with china despite their involvement in all of this. the problem gavin newsom has is going back to the days si as ise mayor of san francisco. he has been a neck deep in relationship with chinese organized crime networks that are involved in the drug trade. he appointed the gentleman in

charge of economic development for chinatown in san francisco who ended up being a dragon head a leader of a chinese organized crime syndicate involved in the drug trade he had a gentleman on his transition team as mayor who ended up being involved with these same organized crime networks. he set up an entity called china sf this was designed to bring chinese investment dollars to the bay area he picked a gentleman in china who happen to have a known history and connection to chinese organized crime. the gavin newsom i would argue is personally compromise he does not want to have a conversation about chinese organized crime networks working in the united states and the drug trade if you look at adam schiff you see a very similar pattern. there is a business operating out of his district called ally atallied wallets executives from that company said more that $100,000 to his campaign into his packs.

this company, when they sense of the money to adam schiff was already under fbi investigation. schiff took it anyway lo and behold that company became involved in the money laundering with chinese organized crime. adam schiff is chairman of the intelligence committee did nothing on fentanyl. if you look at his congressional webpage he h is nothing to say about china's involvement even though in his district fentanyl deaths from 2016 until now i've got more than 12 100%. he has been completely silent projects blood money, why the powerful turn a blind eye will china kills americans by peter schweizer. and it peter, it's sort of bipartisan isn't it? there are also republican politicians to who might they be? what mitch mcconnell the republican leader in the senate is a prime example of this. fentanyl is of course a huge problem in kentucky in his states. he proclaims he supports the biden administration and imposing economic sanctions on

chinese businessmen are chinese officials that are caught being involved in the fentanyl trade. look at the bottom line is a chinese don't care they laugh at this. the trump administration put sanctions on a businessman named tawana, this gentleman was sanctioned by our government for his involvement in the fentanyl trade in march of 2021 he gave a blazing speech where he said he was proud of his involvement in the drug trade he was proud and how it helps china and its competition with the united states he was giving an award by the ccp. mitch mcconnell thanks this is the way you deal with this problem and it's not going to happen. this is because his family has long extensive commercial ties going back for a long time with the mainland china party does not want to disrupt the flow of money to his family. mark: you broke out on this show a couple years ago the republicans still vote for him to be the majority leader. or their leader. it is stunning to me. there is so much more this book

"life, liberty & levin." ♪. mark: welcome back america this is the bible on what communist china is doing to our country the politicians they bought off the politicians that are soft on them. from drug cartels, to fentanyl, to destabilizing our democracy this book is about what amazon.com right now is a must read blood money that politicians do not want you to read it that is for sure i definitely want you too. destabilizing democracy there's an entire chapter on that what you mean by that? lexmark i've noticed you've talked about the fact of the last five years america just does not seem to resemble itself anymore we have got chaos in the streets. we've got increase in violence there is all of these issues related to identifying as a man and a woman and what i really discovered is america is on fire. china is holding an empty can of

gasoline and our leaders are not saying anything about it. the gasoline is very clear in very explicit. so, for example we had all of the violent riots in 2020 involving blm. and now we have violent protest in favor of hamas. many of the same organizations are active in 2020 are doing it again now these are groups that have deep abiding ties to the ccp some of them received funding from them. there are certainly an information exchange. the ccp tracks them and their purpose is to create turmoil and chaos in the united states. the other thing the ccp is doing as they have large operations involving a military officers where they set up social media accounts in the united states buried hundreds of thousands if not millions of them they manage half of them and they all pose as americans. half are posting content online

that sells americans are completely totally worthless racist society for the other half of them are running stories that say i only like white people. they're trying to pit us against each other by injecting this into our social media. that's leading the social chaos. then you look at an issue like the transit movement in the united states. what i discovered is two of the largest funders of the transit movement in the united states are actually china -based billionaires. they give it money to radical causes it's one of the reasons we see the upswing in the trance because of the last few years they are funded to the tune of tens of millions of dollars what is a guy named rice an american who sold his business to an investment fund partly owned by the chinese. he now lives in china but wondered $60 million into radical causes in the united states. the other one is joe tsai the cofounder of ali baba he's a big funder of the transit movement in the united states and here's

the important thing. these gentlemen are not advocating for the same positions in china. they are only doing it in the united states. this is an effort, all of it is an effort to so chaos, create turmoil into pit american against american and sadly it is working the final thing i would add is the violence in our streets we uncovered china is actually providing tools that help convert handguns certain handguns to machine guns and they have been smuggling these two criminal gangs and drug dealers in the united states since 2018 again the purpose is to cause violence and chaos in america streets. and have you heard any of our political leaders in washington talk about this? very, very, very few most of them do not want to have this conversation. mark: was truly unconscionable

that we are supposed to be here fbi director mumbled through his testimony he must know this or at least some of this because china is a probably jimmy by that questioning his stay alert. stay alert to what? secretary of dhs has been impeached he clearly must know what's going on with fentanyl and so forth. and of course the white house must know to what they don't seem to care the borders are wide open. biden treats president xi was an enormoenormous respect and whils attacking netanyahu, trump all the wrestle me ask you this hollywood is also a propaganda operation for the communist chinese, no question reports they absolutely are. some of the big studios traded joint funding operations with china or china funds some of these movies some are children's movies like kung fu panda three for example. what they do is they get veto rights on what is in the script and it is not just about keeping

taiwan out of any of these movies they are actually these with a communist values that is the way they describe it. and if you look at tiktok the same thing is going on. we are having a conversation in this country about is tiktok a security threat? joe biden is now on tiktok. they are not having this debate in china p but in china they already have a plan they are enacting a plan to use it as a propaganda vehicle and i quote extensively from chinese officials on exactly how they are doing that. what is the reason why nothing is being done about this in a significant way because china is attacking us on every front in multiple ways? it's at because too many people in high places are bought off because that is what i get out of this this is another fantastic probably your best as a matter fact. there is no emphasis other than a few comments here and there on china and what were going to do

about china no economic pushback. is it because too many of them are on the take? x yes, some of them are deafly on the take i name them in the book people like barack obama and john kerry but also their people who may not have a financial relationship. that's what i am reporting is true and accurate, and it is you cannot have a normal relationship with communist china. that makes leadership decisions far more difficult. you have got a lot of go along to get along people in washington d.c. who may not be connected financially with china but they the complication of the difficult choices that need to be made they are failing us as leaders brick works and want you folks to know we have barely touched the surface this is a compelling book it's a very, very important for every citizen to read blood and money why the powerful turn a blind eye will china kills americans. they are in every aspect of our culture, our media, hollywood, our government and they are just getting started.

mark: welcome back america prefer the first time on this program and why i am not sure because john yoo is the best. i knew of years ago before he was famous and you know me years

ago anyway, john yoo a professor at uc barkley law that's gotta be endurable. the former attorney general hoover institution visiting fellow. john yoo quick questions here but very important to hear your answer. and look at these cases against trump the civil case by letitia james, never been brought before the history of the statute. the attempt by bragg to take a misdemeanor and drag it through the complaint and then felonies at the local level. nobody's ever seen that before. a rico case where you are challenging an election even a different slate of electors that happened in 1876. allen durso which is been said we had a slate of electives ready to go in florida before the supreme court and that's not a crime. you have january 6 case where there is no insurrection charge, no sedition charge, no violent act charge. we reach back on the finally

look at the florida case the espionage act and never been used against a president of american history. certainly intended for that purpose. we look at this landscape we don't really have statutes that are intended to be used in the way they are being used. how do you approach all of what is going on against donald trump? what do you make of this question reports. >> great to be with him glad you're not a litigator to mourn suing people like me but this is what is going on you used to work at the justice department's i used to work at the justice department one thing we understood as our prosecutors have enormous power in our society and we have to restrain ourselves we have to have the utmost integrity when choosing our cases because we could destroy someone's life even if we don't win and i think that is what you see in case after case that you listed you are seeing a prosecutors abuse their vast power because they are going

after a man they are not going after a crime. the great attorney general robert jackson who later went on the supreme court worn prosecutors throughout the country we don't go after people. that is what happens in soviet russia. that's what happens in nazi, germany. prosecutors have to go and prosecute the crime when it is in the national interest. what you are seeing here is a prosecutors in new york city, and new york state, in georgia, and washington stitching together as you said unprecedented readings of the law. cases that have never in brought against anyone because they just want to bring down donald trump. this is a dangerous precedent because, i am sorry to say you have seen prosecutors acting badly. you have seen the hearing sentiment going on in georgia for example with fani willis. i went to copyright the show title real prosecutors of atlanta. i cannot believe prosecutors are acting this way. i haven't bragg and new york city who is up next to might be

the first the prosecutor ever to bring a real courtroom case against a former president who is clearly making up the law. i think he is violating the constitution because he is trying to pretend he has the right to prosecute donald trump for federal campaign violations, when the federal government investigated and dropped it and chose not to bring any charges. this is something the supreme court said is unconstitutional for state and city prosecutors to do. that is the important thing unfortunately of prosecutors are going to act this way they are not just going to get donald trump or not they are breaching a wall of responsibility that is kept prosecutors contained for 200 years. what's going to happen when prosecutors want to go after joe biden or hunter biden exactly the same way that blue state prosecutors are going after donald trump. >> courts only ask you about that we have a special counsel issued report late out

by my count at least a score of felonies. against joe biden and the espionage they have a joe biden on record talking to his ghostwriter they don't even know i have these things of that sort that is when he was a vice president, when he was a sen senator. special counsel says were not going to prosecute him because i don't think a jury would find him guilty does not have the his wits about him but that document is filled with probable cause i mean overloaded with probable cause is what prosecutors are look at. my question she was this we have a three judge panel in washington d.c. that has ruled presidential immunity no matter involves a president out of office as i'm in the next republican administration can take a look at that report and say that's fine, that is what mr. hurd decided but he didn't laid out a compelling brutal case with the multiple felonies committed by joe biden when he

was not president of the united states so we are going to charge them, isn't that possible now? >> that is exactly right. if you read that report i agree with you a strong case to bring against joe biden for violating the very same sb in espionage act laws that are currently being pressed against donald trump down in mar largo, florida you could say the violations are worse because joe biden has been collecting these classified documents ever since he was in the senate. he was not the president there is no fight as there is in the trump case whether trump trump case whether trump declassify the documents. i'm sorry biden took them over the course of years and is only defense is i'm a well meaning elderly man who cannot remember things. mark: may come back i have another question for you in this regard regarding immigration that people who have been harmed by the failure to comply with immigration laws at the federal level. people have died, people up and brutalized people's property have been damaged and yet we have again their circuit ruling

that basically a citizen can bring a civil action against a former president of the united states appea. in going to ask you about that. we will be right back. ♪

professor john yoo these two have consequences for future presidents which is my point. let me ask you on the civil side the point is basically thrown open the door in many respects. they've allow people to sue donald trump over generally six, police officers and others who claim injury as a result of his alleged actions or lack of actions. so my question to you is this, the federal immigration laws are very specific about what should and should not be done. mayorkas has been impeached they laid out a strong case when you read these articles they've issued executive orders they've done all of these things. people are being damaged. people are dying from the drugs coming across the properties are being damaged, people being raped, and brutalized and god knows what. this is not at least open the door to lawyers to push the argument that wait a minute, you ruled in washington d.c. that a president could be sued civilly for conduct or actions that rationally follow from his

decisions or lack of decisions. doesn't that like spring open thousands of doors for possible litigation? >> mark you still have the litigator mindset in your head. that is exactly right. the supreme court is going to start undermining the principal of a presidential immunity, as the lower courts are doing in the d.c. circuit t that eventuay you are going to see more lawsuits not just against donald trump you're going to see them against barack obama, or against joe biden. because the whole point of immunity is to make sure the presidents could reach policy decisions without constantly having to worry about being a suit we want them to make the decisions that are best for the country and not just best for the personal legal liabilities. but at the d.c. circuit and ultimately the supreme court start to question the immunity that presidents have had like in the january 6 trials by the police officers for example who were harmed in the riots, then that is going to bring that

doctrine and protection for presidents into doubt. there is no reason why president biden then would be immune when donald trump is not. mark: one of the other things that seems to be a common thread in these cases particular at the federal level was the rush to judgment the cutting corners on appeal the cutting corners on the right to bring an appeal. you see that at the d.c. circuit with the three judge panel said by the way you do not appeal here you have seven days to appeal to the supreme court. i can tell you in all my years i've never seen anything like that in my life it raises serious due process question. it's almost like the new york case they are saying you can appeal but cough up $400 million if you don't cough it up were going to steal your properties are gwere going to sell them pes on the dollar and that is the punishment you are going to get just because you want to appeal. have you seen things like this let alone against the former president of the united states? >> are some of this is never happened with the former president we have never allowed the legal system to harass

someone like this. with these kind of cases on both federal and state court. i still have some awaiting faith in the federal court system at least in washington d.c. the supreme court justices are watching that and they have already jack smith a few times. what worries me is what's going on in the state courts like new york you just said it. i think in part the 350 million damages award which has $100 million of interest tacked onto it is so large not connected to any damages anyone suffered on whether it donald trump allegedly inflated his assets to get better mortgage terms. that amount is so large in part because it is designed to prevent donald trump from appealing because to appeal that case he has to put up $450 million just to get a hearing and the appellate court to correct what i think look like bias from the trial judge in that case. mark: is a great point it's the first time i've heard it. you make the penalties so high

that basically effectively you're trying to prevent him from appealing. the president's people should immediately move first day. try to get this case and the federal court and try to get it to the supreme court under the eighth the member or some other aspect because to keep going to democrats who act like democrats rather than real prosecutors and real judges becomes a problem. john yoo i want to thank you. it does amaze me you are a professor at uc barkley law not because of your brilliance but because of your attitude in your viewpoints. so hang in there. [laughter] >> thinking or we all need to have thick skins these days and i certainly have it at barkley. >> god bless you my friend you are great. we will be right back.
