check out jeanine. local.com. thanks so much for watching. i'm jeanine pirro advocating for truth justice and the american way. and i will see you next saturday night. mark: hello america i am mark levin, this is "life, liberty and levin," we have a great guest for the full hour, newt gingrich. before i go to the former speaker, i want to have a few comments with you myself. joe biden made much of the word unity, nothing that joe biden has done since his inauguration speech demonstrates any unity,
5:01 pm
it is conformity, proudly signing one executive order after another, they do what? taxpayer paid for abortion on demand. even one minute before birth. paris climate accords, it should be a treaty, that ties our hands, and his war on american energy. who benefits from that? communist china, of course,. that does more damage to us than communist chinese could ever hope, open borders iran deal, and world health organization controlled by communist chinese and lied to us and caused us grave damage at the beginning of this virus hey can -- he destroyed women's sports, that will affect the girls for a very long time in our high schools and colleges and universities, what else? covid, 1.9 trillion dollar
5:02 pm
package that has almost nothing to do with covid-19, massive payoff to teacher union blue state mayers and governors, and no real vaccine distribution plan, he said i want 100 million vaccines given in 100 days, guess what, he took office we were doing a million each day. which mean 100 million in 100 days, only plan there is to trash trump dumb down those achievement and make an absurd claim he has done a great job, there is no unity, we in a constitutional crisis, democrats with slimmest of majority in house, no majority in senate but for senator pro tell, vice president of united states, kamala harris, they are chasing down a private citizen, president ofu u.s. after he left
5:03 pm
office. now, impeachment is intended to have a trial. first in the house, where you have investigations, due process, witnesses. depositions, counter witnesses, and so on. none of, that two hour debate,. here is the report. this is the most pathetic report you will ever read, 76 pages. 50 are actual writings, last 26 is an appendix, there is no evidence in any form or way that president of united states incited an insurrection. if he wanted to commit an act of insurrection against congress, you think he would send in a hundred or 200 nut jobs who the capitol building? that is absurd, you read when
5:04 pm
president said that day, nothing he said compares to what kamala harris said on the stephen colbert show, nothing he said compared to what dozens of house senators and members said to insights and inflame their base, including nancy pelosi, calling them stormtroopers, they didn't say a word when there was an insurrection against the white house and president of united states had to be taken to the bunker with his family, not a word. from conducting business, they are article 3 activities, all two is under attack, white house, say and do nothing, article 3 is under attack, the courts say they and do nothing. we had 25 to 27,000 national guardsmen in washington d.c. and ken cuccinelli, former
5:05 pm
acting deputy administrator at department of homeland security said, nancy pelosi wanted crew-manned machine guns, they are big ones like this, on the crowd? of which there was almost no crowd? that is indiscriminate, that is going through her head, no head about that when cuccinelli paid the point, now they want a trial of the president of united states, they decide former president. the framers must be turning in their graves, purpose of impeachment to have a real process, you determine if a certain public official, in this case a president, should be charged in a trial in senate whether he should be removed from office, i've seen some people, including phony constitutional stole ars say, wait -- scholars, they want to have this trial to prevent him from serving again, it does not
5:06 pm
work that way. you have to remove the first. then make a determination whether or not they could serve ever again. you don't do it backwards, he is gone, now you are having a trial of a private citizen? so not a criminal charge, not a civil trial, a political trial of sorts of a private citizen who left office, you can prevent that citizen with a scarlet letter put on his forehead from run president again, guess what. he can still run for president of united states, but the senate does not get on decide by itself who the constitution says and doesn't say, this is all intended to punish president trump and his supporters. what do i mean? unity, remember, unity, no conformity and repression, that is what we're seeing, publishing housing refusing to public
5:07 pm
conservatives, including josh hawley. big tech, you know about it. strangling the ability to communicate, saying that any conservative and president are inciting violence, they don't police themselves enough, that is really precious comes from the big tech companies where all sorts of nut jobs are there on there and banks are trying to determine whether or not they shall provide services, not to just president and his family, but conservatives, credit card companiesic like american ex express, and most giving sums to black lives matter, a marxist organization, they blow off antifa, after antifa was rioting the other day, during the biden,
5:08 pm
they did not send in national guard for that, and media, so corrupt. corporate media, cnn, and "new york times" and as joke could "washington post," owned by bezos and amazon. which is at par war with parler, so appalling. lowest level in american history of free press that we've seen, there will be no checks on biden and his autocratic cruel, the same media more than happen to push rush collusion. but don't say a word about that election that just happened. i asked newt gingrich to join us to help us make sense, he is one
5:09 pm
of the smartest people i know, how are you my friend. >> i am doing well, country is worrisome, i think. we're in a does period. mark: you are a historian before a politician, you look at this through lens of history, are you concerned about what we're going through right now? as one of the bleakest, periods in american history, not saying civil war, but, it seemed bleak to me. >> i think it is very similar to the civil war period in that you have two forces, that deeply disagree. each of which in the end feels threatened it has to defend itself at levels we seldom see in american history, on the left you have a level of hatred, and a level of bitterness. that is amazing. someone at new york time write if biden really wanted unity he
5:10 pm
should lynch vice president pence. and others say we should take their children away and send them to camps, they hate america, hate conservatives, hate those who' to believe in rule of law, and feels self righteous. in their positions. that is really quite astonishing. i think a genuine threat to survival of america. >> i think you so right, now 50/50 in senate, really even believe split, but the vice president can break the ties. schumer still wants to get rid of filibuster rule to ram through whatever changes, and still wants to change make up of supreme court, joe biden does not say a word about any of it e
5:11 pm
talks about unity and uncivil war, then he signs a bunch of executive orders that are in many cases radical, and extreme and outrageous. he goes around the backs of the republicans works with a tiny majority in the house, no majority in senate on covid-19 thing. he said nothing, he does not say stop can trump stuff already or leave the supreme court alone, there are things he could say and be a real statesman, i remember when obama of president, i thought if he would speak out on race relations in way that brought nation together he would be one of greatest presidents in america. yet they are not, are they? >> well they can't be abide inhas to be seen as part of a biden gang. all of people he is appointing many are very radical, some of whom have gotten huge amounts of money out of china, these people are all moving in a direction of very left wing, very radical,
5:12 pm
and very anti american behaveior ofs, we watched inauguration address coming back from phone, the speech was fine. but, he promptly goes to white house, and then next 3 hours, destroys every thing he said in the speech. as though he beliefs unity means surrender and our job to surrender and 74 million americans who voted for trump, which is massively more than any voted for any republican before in american history, not a single republican, should vote to pursue the impeachment. they have no moral standing for taking on a man with 74 million
5:13 pm
votes and telling him he can't run again. it is a elitist dictatorship telling us rest of us what to think and, to. hard as a historian, to expression how truly radical a moment this is in american history, and a profound break with the american system. mark: more with newt gingrich when i return, we'll be right back. the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me... with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪
5:14 pm
5:17 pm
mark: welcome back, newt gingrich. you know. this past election, i focus on the constitution of the united states. i was not chases a lot of other arguments. when you look at article 2, section one clause 2, framers, and ratifiers could not be more clear, they argued this for 3 1/2 months. legislation-- legislators shall make election law, and determine how electors are chosen, puts rest of the arguments aside, which i did, at least 4 battle
5:18 pm
ground states, your home state of pennsylvania. my home state of pennsylvania. legislator, position, laws and election laws were eviscerated by a left wing governor, and elected left wing majority in in the supreme court, they changed voting system. at behest of biden and lawyers, we la -- similar mings in thing. this secretary of state entered into a consent decree, he had no authority to enter into. this matter brought tou supremee u.s. supreme court, all civilly.
5:19 pm
within to supreme court, twice alito ordered secretary of state to segregate votes, it has not been resolved. if they don't take their power back we'll never win the states in presidential elections, i should tell you, newt, you have been in rome, but you see this i and others who raise this issue come under attack as white supremacists who are inciting insurrection, i hold this near and dear to my heart, we better get the laws fixed or we'll turn to california where we can never win a presidential election again. >> that is what is right. it is very clear that democratic
5:20 pm
model is to allow anyone to vote who no identity, no prior registration, no ability to know whether or not they voted 10 times and then create citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants, you suddenly have a package for turning whole country into california, if you look at disaster california is becoming, hard to imagine why, if you are anyone but a union leader and a democratic politician, you could not want country to become like california, we have a combination of left wing radicals, union leaders, and democratic politicians, and that coalition right now, is dominating news media, the internet, and doing everything it can to consolidate power. and eliminate its competitors.
5:21 pm
mark: as you explain we have a box, called constitution, we operate within the box, they don't like the box, that i want to operate outside that box. if you call them on it, you come you were attack. by the media. turn to media now. are they really anything more than an -- a mouth piece of democrat party, you see how they treated donald trump, so shab. >> in a treat joe biden compare him to a priest, an angel, this is joe biden, we have known joe biden for a half cindy, he is -- century, he is not any of those, he is opposite. when you see this, from your perspective, as a former speaker and historian, i argue this is
5:22 pm
the lowest point in the media even lower than yellow journalism than party media that at least honest enough to label themselves, this is lowest point in media in modern history if not all of history, your take? >> for all practical purposes we don't have news media, we have propaganda media, they are all in tank for left, they respect things in a non-- report things in a nonfactual one sided basis, they want to be acceptable. to left wing radicals. you get on ending hostility, not just to trump, but unending of hostility to anyone that supported him. you have 500 young staffers in publishing housing signing a letter saying nobody who worked for trump should be allowed to
5:23 pm
publish a book, that is amazing to me how deep it has penetrated the american system, whether academic campuses or for example, you end up with at least a -- losing her advisory role at kennedy center at harvard even though she is a graduate from kennedy and and one of the -- brightest young bright republican woman in congress, this is frightening, i think about the world my grandchildren will live in i worry very much. that to have a opportunity to participate, i worry that whole system will be crushed under this kind of left wing tyranny.
5:24 pm
mark: when we come back, mr. speaker, there is a proposal by cliburn to have a commission to investigate his republican colleagues. cruz and hawley dared to speak up and raise questions about electors, from your perspective, what you think about their democrats going after republican colleagues. who are protected through the constitution for their speech on the floor of the house and the senate. we'll be right back. there are many names for enthusiast. but there's only one way to become one... by going all in. the new lexus is. with a lower center of gravity, a more responsive suspension,
5:25 pm
and an aggressive wider stance. this is what we call going all in on the sport sedan. lease the 2021 is 300 for $359 a month for 39 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. what do you look for when you trade? lease the 2021 is 300 for $359 a month for 39 months. i want free access to research. yep, td ameritrade's got that. free access to every platform. mhm, yeah, that too. i don't want any trade minimums. yeah, i totally agree, they don't have any of those. i want to know what i'm paying upfront. yes, absolutely. do you just say yes to everything? hm. well i say no to kale. mm. yeah, they say if you blanch it it's better, but that seems like a lot of work. now offering zero commissions on online trades. we charge you less so you have more to invest. ♪♪
5:26 pm
i didn't realize how special it would be for me to discover all of these things that i found through ancestry. i discovered my great aunt ruth signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. you see this scanned-in, handwritten document. the most striking detail is her age. she was only 17. knowing that she saw this thing happening and was brave enough to get involved and do something— that was eye opening. bring your family history to life like never before. get started for free at ancestry.com if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. to life like never before. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me.
5:27 pm
xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

>> i am jon scott, president biden to be ready to reverse an order from trump, reinstate covid-19 travel restriction on non-u.s. travelers. associated press reveals south africa will be add to list. >> mexico president obrador has tested positive for covid-19. he said he symptoms are mild. >> his announcement after he spoke with russia president putin about getting the sputnik 5 vaccine, obrador is one of
5:29 pm
first foreign leader to speak with president joe biden since high-tech -- since he took offers, they spoke friday, i am jon scott, back to "life, liberty and levin." mark: welcome back, newt gingrich, we see now this effort it is really quite bizarre to purify the house and senate or maybe in case of hawley and cruz, to so damage them as to make them persona non grata if they call to run for president, they want to take out trump, cruz, and hawley, and house side, they need to investigate 140 or some subset of their fellow republicans, what do you make of that? >> it is about what we've been talking about, a totalitarian
5:30 pm
movement that wants to crush all decent. they want to drive its opponents out public life, that it says word unity it means surrender, conformity. conformity to them. if you north prepared to -- if you are not prepared to surrender, you should expect to be punished and have an effort to drive you from public life. this is an extraordinary moment in american history. but, it also reminds you if you are to list every democrat who said horrifying things about republicans and cited things about republicans started with waters who said, you should hunt them down, at restaurants and grocery stores, you look at her statement, if that is not incitement, then i don't know what incitement. is. we have to have the courage, a
5:31 pm
perfect example for fight for freedom, to stand. look them in the eye, and fight back. not cave, not give in. if anything, conservatives should be praising cruz and hawley for having courage, and praising house republicans for having courage. and we should get to be as good, when -- republican national committee should announce no republican stay at marriott, it will not take many weeks of republicans canceling at marriott before their board says, maybe this is not a smart idea, right now you live with all pressure on left, the rice s mass -- passive and sits there defensively whining and then swalwell. spent relationship with a woman who is a chinese spy, she is
5:32 pm
appointed to impeachment management group, this is how crazy their system is. mark: i am concerned about the reaction of the republicans, they should not tolerate a trial. to me they should not partake in a trial of a private citizen, many -- we never had a post presidential impeachment in united states we never had a president impeached twice in uss, never had a president impeached without a hearing in without a hearing in the united states we never had president impeached two weeks beverly was- beverly was leaving office from uss, and nancy pelosi has the call to say, she thinks this is uciting the country. you have seen a worse speaker of the house in your lifetime or
5:33 pm
modern american history? she loses seat, she has' 10 majority, she appears to have lost nothing. learn nothing, what is, is she obsessed. what is her problem? >> she lives in an enclave that is guarded in san francisco, surrounded by left wing loonie tunes, think it is cook -- okay to live in a stay, there is a map you can go on internet, they show you feces count that day in san francisco. they cannot say human or dog, and the same with kamala harris they come from center of local nuttiness, they think this craziness makes sense. over her many years back to when her father and brother were mayors of baltimore, nancy has been in politics so long she operates like a genuine machine
5:34 pm
politician of old order, and she does not mind abusing power or running over people, i would say she is the most dangerous speaker of the house we've had probably in american history, because she is so willing to break the rules, and to frank let's say things untrue. mark: totally untrue, unbelievable and interesting how press react to her, she has a press conference, you dare step out of line, and ask her a tough question, she dismisses you. and she diminishes you, they don't start yelling questions at her. madame speaker, they let her get away with it, you don't have a free press. truly free, down have a republic do, you. >> you have right now with the pros press corps are left wing lap dogs, their job is lick hands of left wingers and bite
5:35 pm
the hands of the republicans, they are behaving the way they have been trained to behave. the left is working every day, i thought it was the telling that two of the executive orders of first day after giving speech on unity, two executive orders, one killed committee 1776, i urge everyone to read, that was an effort to reestablish a serious american history and response to the "new york times" totally false 1619 narrative arguing that slavery is the heart of america, they went to first day to kill the 1796 -- 1776 come commission pause it -- because it is a mortal throat.
5:36 pm
threat, confident a eliminated women from athletics. most of women sports will become -- bedominated by men. >> we're getting the 2 professors, they said, basically, load up the system, and collapse the system. when widen is signing executive orders. it will be difficult to keep track, they are throwing so many left radical executive fiats at us, difficult to address them. when we come back, my question to you, why do the democrats and joe biden hate energy? we'll be right back. - i'm norm.
5:37 pm
- i'm szasz. [norm] and we live in columbia, missouri. we do consulting, but we also write. [szasz] we take care of ourselves constantly; it's important. we walk three to five times a week, a couple miles at a time. - we've both been taking prevagen for a little more than 11 years now. after about 30 days of taking it, we noticed clarity that we didn't notice before. - it's still helping me. i still notice a difference. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
5:41 pm
mark: welcome back, newt gingrich, i am old enough to remember during nixon years and opec and odd and even days, they could blackmail us, and boycott us. now we see russia has a lot of oil, we see china is trying to lock up oil contracts in world. here we are energy independent, we talked about it for decades, thanks to fracking, the cleanest way to get the oil, and the democrats, hate oil. they hate gas. they pretend they like electric electricthey don't know where is from. and president biden. >> freezing activity on federal
5:42 pm
lands. what is it with democrats and their obsession about killing energy in this country. >> you put your finger on it. energy has president trump developed it, made us independent, increased our leverage with iran, and china and the middle east, gave us source of money, jobs greater plans of payment, energy is very pro-american, if you are a true leftist, anything pro american is bad, and anything in enough quantities lower cost of living, and increases living. you don't want people in cars,,y free where they want to go, you want to tell them where to go. there is a huge gap, and the
5:43 pm
fact lower cost of energy more freedom we have the more choices we have. and better quality of life we have. a nightmare for true left winger, if it works we would not need them, that is is their point, the left is about power. they want power over our lives, and successful energy industry, creates jobs, lowers cost of energy, and increasing options and increases freedom, for american people, those are all values that left hate. mark: communist china loves us, they love that we'll drive up our production cost. we'll drive people out of work. we're not going to be energy energy-independent, and china is laughing, i bet they support 90% of the executive orders that joe biden signed. what do you think? >> well, i think that when president in his inaugural promised to tell the truth and
5:44 pm
be open, the real test is where did the money come from for university of pennsylvania and for university of delaware. and his secretary of state, actually running his program at university of pennsylvania, we believe got at least 22 million-dollar from communist china, over the 4 years that biden was out there, as a private citizen, how much money came from communist china, not just to the hunter biden commercial stuff but straight forward, the universals will not reveal where money came from or how they spend it. and we know in case of university of pennsylvania, aim aimfrom china has more than trid in last few years, close to 100 million, they will not tell us a single piece of information, i think that is a case you have to look at, across board biden administration will be filled with people who are very friendly to china, this say
5:45 pm
real challenge, you are right, xi jinping, dictator of china, loving watching american when it is caught up in this turmoil, makes him feel more secure that china will be the dominant country. mark: amaze, lincoln said it, jefferson, and reagan said it, we're going to destroy ourselves, it is not a foreign enemy, we will destroy ourselveses from within. the yesterday we're unilaterally disarming economically and so many ways and communist chinese aggressively on the move, everyone sees it. and knows it. this is the wrong american presidency. at the wrong time in american history. we'll be right back.
5:47 pm
5:49 pm
5:50 pm
services, which you know, combined with fact that national guard, having been praised for protecting capitol now finds itself sleeping in public parking garages, out in the open in a coal period, that is just, you know against military behavior of the left is amazing, just as anti-policy behavior,ic -- only when they feel threatened. they are throwing so much stuff at us, so fast, that it will take weeks to sort it out. how crazy they are and how much of many will be repudiatedded by american people, that their goal, dump it out and force change before the country understands. mark: i watched republicans particularly in senate who are so out of it.
5:51 pm
donald trump comes in to office they block every nominee to anything he had acting secretaries of this and that. well into his administration. they were sending a signal to trump they would not work with him they would do everything they could. to throw wrirchs in the works. they attacked him personal, they wanted a special counsel right out of the box, and russia collusion. they wanted a criminal investigation. all i hear from republicans, is despite what biden is doing, despite unilateral actions, radical, we want to work with him. we want to work with him, american people, certainly must be confounded. should you not stand to principal and distinguish between a pro-american agenda rather than mealy mouth, we'll figure out how to work together, work together on what?
5:52 pm
>> you know, i became speaker, very first fry after after the e election, i was speaking at heritage foundation, i said i will cooperate, but will not compromise, that is what we did for the 4 years i was speaker, we need the same attitude, if he wants unity we'll talk about him about what unity is, if he wants to use word unity but mean surrender, he will get nothing, i was, disappointed, new secretary of state not asked about the money from china. it is blinken who is presiding over 40 million-dollars, coming from communist china, and biden is here at presidential candidate, i would have thought there is a place for republicans to have said, we're going to pull your nomination on hold until you release the information we could figure out
5:53 pm
how much influence the china have bought, but they were passive. and makes no sense to me, to pretend this administration that will be moderate, this say hard left administration with hard left people, you could tell from first day their executive orders are creating a radically different america, and one that most americans will not like. >> amazing, newt gingrich, with 50 votes, in the senate, we seem to have been stymied. when democrats have far fewer than 50, they can finger out every way to block a donald trump or republican president, that is astanishing to me, thank you very much newt gingrich, god bless you take care of yourself. >> thank you. mark: take care? >> we'll be right back. what are you doing? art class.
