nefarious for the future of america. trey: thank you congresswoman for keeping your eye on all the stops ukraine and cuba and venezuela thank you for joining us on a sunday night. thank you for spending part of your sunday with us. good night from south carolina. >> fox news alert from washington another day is senseless led shed in southern ukraine is russian forces ramp up their attacks for the second time in as many days russia has violated a cease-fire agreement and the port city of teeseventeen. firm and water and medicine is a pfizer and desperately short supply. all the pentagon reports they have launched an estimated's

700 missiles from days ago our third round of peace talks is set for tomorrow but with this country under attack they are pleading for more warplanes. tonight the pentagon says they are inclined to support that request. we will get you back to more "life, liberty & levin". mark: hello america i am mark levin this is "life, liberty & levin" i'm glad you are here. i will stick with us throughout the program. we have to tremendous gas. retired british colonel cap who has been here before a combat veteran. that commander of operations for a period of time in afghanistan over british

forces. and from the heritage foundation, brilliant expert serving 25 years in the army and reached the rank of lieutenant colonel and is a strategic advisor and professor among other things that i infrequently agree with lindsey graham and he said something the other day on sean hannity's program that has said controversial and he's taking and coming from the putin wing from the related press and of course from the democratic party. what is it? he suggested in so many words it would be nice if a hero way staff up in putin's inner circle and take him out. and create a controversy. i'm not sure why.

so lindsey graham for that has taken more heat than vladimir putin has for actually using assassination and murder to stay in power in order to gain power, and in order to take out the president of the screen. here we have a piece in the daily mail ukrainian president zelensky has survived three assassination attempts they were for innovative agents which was the old kgb. and it turns out the wagner group that i will get to in a second is behind two of the attempts and then the chechen a hit squad is behind another attempt they were all sent there by fiction. there is said to be 400 members of the wagner group based in africa which is a mercenary a cause i military arm of putin's army that were

placed there in advance of the war and foiled by subversive antiwar members within the federal security service , according to the daily mail the successor to the kgb that said the security national security confirmed the attempts. one group that tried to kill him was the wagner group that has 400 members that infiltrated ukraine with a kill list. they have a hit list of assassinations they are supposed to undertake on behalf of vladimir putin and the other group was chechnya that is part of the national guard known for the brutal tactics and of course president zelensky is the target. he has held power three assassination. how do we know that? because it's well-documented and our country has one the united nations and they are well aware that russia has a

kill list of ukrainians to be detained or killed should they capture any of these individuals including zelensky and journalist and on and on. and in fact homeland security newswire, yes i do my research, put together in august 2020 that vladimir putin's victims a long list of those who have disappeared or murdered dared to question 210 the intelligence operatives have many domestic critics journalist and investigative reporters and artist and more than a dozen defectors from those in 2006 and russian intelligence operatives are not outspoken critics have to speculate that putin has

adopted a smaller version of line into have simply fear and security in the rationality and they provide a list that is a year and a half old of opposition politicians and business people who would not go along with putin's ideology and also would not give a piece of action. he is killed diplomat, 122 journalist whose deaths were arranged by putin and his regime. it goes to the list today are why he targeted them and why they were murdered. seems serious to me. will give you a few examples. 2015 in the 19 nineties part of the young reformers and became deputy prime minister

and was seen as possible presidential material that vladimir putin succeeded boris yeltsin he supported the choice but grew increasingly critical and was pushed to the margins of russian political life and infrared 2015 cannot be properly trained the shop for times and talk potential personal control of the investigation into the murder of the killer remain that large. 2013 the self self-styled taken in the late 19 nineties was instrumental for this rise to power with the media campaign with two tend to succeed and then fell out leaving russia for a exile in the uk. the distance emboldened him

the radioactive substance with a former kgb agent who became a leading critic and and make killed him by slipping the radioactive material into his t. then found dead inside of a locked bathroom in his home with the noose around his neck that was deemed a suicide but the coroner's office cannot determine the cause of death. it goes on and on. why do we care about any of this? now we have this document from the carnegie endowment of international peace and neocon operation no doubt. the federal contractor is behind this. putin is not so secret mercenaries and the wagner group this is the wagner group

up until now you probably have never heard of before. just a few points moscow first to point wagner in ukraine when the kremlin needed to fight casualties from the public to mitigate the international repercussions of a neighbor sovereignty as a tactic with deep roots in russian history during the cold war. by using so-called volunteers moscow reduce the active-duty personnel and conceal their presence initially. the recruitment of these groups happen quickly in 2014 and the kremlin turned to private and state actors to finance the efforts. russia's covert war sparked alarm over instruments of subversion back in 2014 which are often lumped together as a

hybrid warfare that it may secretly deploy a wagner or other places in the post-soviet space to destabilize the country through some version. by using mercenaries as it did in ukraine moscow would hope to sell confusion to keep the west divided and stable of the obvious thresholds for a robust response. why am i getting into all of these things? we know vladimir putin is a killer and the assassin and his interest in the countries that surround russia. we know she wants to rebuild the old soviet union actually the russian empire she wrote in si on —- an essay about over the summer. we have a putin wing in the republican party and in the media and uprooting court in the democrat party and academia. you will hear them and see

them and they talk about how the united states may escalate war against putin now if the other lapdogs talk about nuclear war putin himself talks about nuclear war. we are not are they doing in a passing way to say something about the united states and how stupid we are at our generals? biden is called the commander-in-chief he is a disgrace and disaster and has the russians negotiating with the iranians on a nuclear deal with us. what kind of a fool does that cracks i will never know he puts more sanctions on the american oil industry but no sanctions on the russian oil industry as a speak. what kind of a fool does that when we can use oil to debilitate the russian economy, the putin economy rather than debilitate you, mr. and mrs. america? we do have a clue in the white

house we should be ready for any possibility despite spending trillions of massive debt we are not muscling up united states military russia, and the access of evil that exists. i does this matter? because ladies and gentlemen i am sick and tired of hearing the excuses and the attacks on the united states that we somehow will escalate something we have been incredibly passive americans or

nato forces

will have the great retired colonel finish commander richard kemp. 's

. mark: will come back america, colonel can't know something about combat. he was in afghanistan with 300 british soldiers under him he is a combat veteran i could go on and on about his commendation not just with the british but all over the world and gives advice on national security. it's good to have you at a time like this. i would like your take on this. you see the response of nato and individual countries what do you make of this? >> what we are seeing now is the response to russia.

with the european weakness of nato and he watched very carefully when president biden had disgraceful withdrawal and he sensed that this was his opportunity from when obama was in power to seize crimea in 2014 he didn't do anything when trump was in power he didn't know how trump would react to see that is a stronger leader so now he is faced with afghanistan he smells weakness and he went for it. that is the fundamental beginnings of this particular war. yes it is vladimir putin not biden that our weakness is what has led to this situation and then you spoke earlier

whether or not putin should be taken out of the game. my question would be why should we take him out? he is a military commander-in-chief of the russian forces who have invaded unprovoked killed many ukrainians and also killing many more. why would we not take him out if we think that could end this terrible situation and further aggression and did so appeasing hitler in the thirties we focused on getting rid of him we would not have had the second world war or the millions of people that were killed following that. so yes he should be taken out one way or another and brought down as rapidly as possible. if you cannot physically take care now then you can focus it was the primary strategic objective to see his downfall and encourage as much as they

can whatever existence not very strong but we should be encouraging them and also should be supporting however we can identify because make no mistake that putin is the number one threat to the west at the moment he will not stop at ukraine he will bring down the ukrainian government they will severe the severe consequence with that link the insurgency conflict but that's not the end of it he will then go to the baltic states that he will have his eyes on countries further west than that such as poland he will not stop he will be the main enemy and we have to do everything we can to neutralize the threat.

mark: i share your amazement this is controversial but the real is putin at home and abroad he is the one who is escalating things we keep talking about de-escalating all the time and that empowers him. and motivates him as well. and the top generals and others have been targeted. during the revolutionary war. sorry. british generals were targeted. and all these wars. and i think what is shocking to so many people is that they don't mention it but yet he uses the hit squad the chechnya group or the wagner

group uses that as an excuse to murder people washington dc hotels he's not worried about escalating anything but when we return about this bizarre situation when the united states is using russia as the negotiating point for the united states with iran over a nuclear deal with another enemy of the united states that seeks to build icbm with a nuclear warhead why in the world from your perspective with united states with the president of the united states be using vladimir putin as our negotiating individual with our enemy in iran also keeps threatening the united states? when we come back i will get the answer when we come back.

back this is a fox news alert. another day of senseless pride chat across ukraine as the russian invasion desensitized and advisor reports russian forces are increasing the shelling around major cities advisers are describing the situation as catastrophic and reports of incoming heavy artillery destroying residential buildings that is the second largest city is

kiev and now netflix and tiktok are joining other companies to pullout services from russia russian users of tiktok can no longer post on the app and netflix watchers won't have access to movies there. the actions further isolate the russian people from the outside world as they withdraw their services help to stop the invasion. now back to t11. mark: "life, liberty & levin". colonel can't come it is inconceivable to me we're using the russians who are doing what they are doing right now, threatening us has a escalate as our go-between with the iranian regime who keeps threatening us. they want the okay to build icbm with nuclear warheads. what do you make of this? >> it is a parallel universe to be honest. i never would have dreamt even

relatively recently the president of the united states word not only be so hell-bent on and giving iran nuclear weapons it pretends that it is a nuclear power but it paves the way this deal was created by president obama and since he's been in office president biden has been determined to get it back on track and he will stop at nothing to achieve that he sees that not only restoring obama's legacy but creating his own. with the very idea that we should be using as a go-between between the united states and russia and iran we should be using the very country to negotiate a nuclear deal threatening with nuclear attacks and firing on nuclear

power stations. we want to use them in some way as a mediator to facilitate negotiations between iran is total insanity. the israelis keep reminding us and we should bear this in mind the iranians keep reminding us that when they threaten us with annihilation whether the supreme leader in iran or putin in russia threatening us with annihilation which they have done, khomeini has made it very clear he sees israel as a country that needs to be destroyed and eliminated and will do so through nuclear weapons. putin has threatened us and israelis remind us frequently that when somebody like that threatens you, you must take it seriously. of course many of their people suffer the consequences and

adolf hitler who threatened to annihilate them and did so to a very large extent so we cannot allow this to continue. we should not allow any form of normalized relationships from russia we should sever diplomatic relationships and stop any russians from traveling to our country. we should certainly cut off trade totally with russia and isolate them and certainly not use them to negotiate a nuclear deal with a country that has a proven track record of terrorism, extremism, that intends to have a nuclear missile arsenal not only three and saudi arabia and egypt and other countries in the middle east but threaten us because the ballistic missile program is not designed for the middle east but to have the range of nuclear missiles into washington dc and london as

well. it's not a situation we can tolerate. the deal should be stopped immediately in the shed isolate russia and cut off relations with iran and leaders should be brought down if we can and hopefully with more reasonable leaders in store that we could do business with to threaten our countries and our people. mark: so violating the putin wing of the media and as a statement of provocation and to see if the west defends itself as allies defend allies trying to have a void the all out war and confrontation and enemies of the west that is escalating in the west that is

instigating in so when a maniac talks about nuclear weapons that is our fault and we should put her head in the sand and leave well enough alone if they take out israel they take out israel they take at ukraine a takeout ukraine and by the way we're told the nato is weeks or don't worry about them anymore these are very dangerous people who will create a massive world war. >> no question about it. there is a saying that if appeasement provokes and strength deters then have we had strength not the debacle from withdrawing from afghanistan do we have the strength to do that well appeasing him or making out this in europe almost complete reliance on russian entity. had we done that we would not be in the situation we are in

now the one thing that would have prevented russia from invading ukraine was appointment of nato forces there before he even began but there is no possibility of that because europe has no strength of resolve they are afraid of putin and they have shown that the president of france is doing everything he could to negotiate and facilitate in the vain hope he could talk him down and of course he could never do that. germany under chancellor on —- chancellor. spent years count how to russia and we can see the consequences and together europe and nato and the united states have created a situation we are in now and they have allowed to provoke putin that he has delivered into ukraine and undoubtedly

goes back to the point that i made and that you discussed before that he has to be brought down and ended one way or another his reign of terror particularly over russia needs to be terminated that needs to happen as quickly as possible before he has the opportunity to invade anymore countries has the opportunity to totally destroy ukraine which is what he will do if he's allowed to continue norway forces will intervene no way anyone will physically stop them despite the bravery and the heroism and strong resistance of ukraine they will be overwhelmed and over, if putin continues on the course so as you mentioned we should be arming them and doing everything we can to help the ukrainian army keep fighting but the overall priority should be ending the reign of terror of president putin. mark: think ukraine all caps very much. we will be right back.

will come back america it's great to have retired colonel from the army with us and also experience of academia. looking at the big picture what is the big picture? >> luscious start with ukraine and russia and go from there. putin has a plutocracy this isn't about number or another stolen the how to solidify control forever and not just about ukraine that the post-soviet states dictatorial control over central europe and the united states out and isolating the united states

and the biggest cheerleader for this is china. this is exactly what china wants. they want to week and divided europe to isolate the united states because the one thing that china and russia and iran all have in common is a zero-sum game. every expansion of their power is the diminishment of ours. and to directly combat our homeland, our people, our paychecks, our lives enter safety and security. when we have these discussions not just what do we do about putin but if we don't talk about all three of these countries, maybe north korea in the same breath we are missing the big picture. think about it. maybe not one of those is on the scale of the soviet union. but if you take combined military power in strategic threats of iran, china, and

russia and you add the economic power that china brings to the table, that is a bigger threat and the soviet union was to the west and at a time when our demographics are shrinking, economic competition has never been greater the technological edge has slipped, military force ratio has slipped. i don't mean to be chicken little but that all the numbers on the table. the threat america faces today to freedom and prosperity is probably greater than it was when ronald reagan came into office in the eighties. i think it is that stark. mark: i thank you are right talk about the disassembling around society here with the different movements and the democratic party has moved hard left with a failure to

build that the united states military. peace through strength anything trump would say the same thing. you make an important point correctly have individuals who try to segregate china from russia and say china is the greatest threat. they are but they have been a greater threat when they have access or access with russia and iran. it is no coincidence they are working together. if one has oil cut off the other provides oil if one has resources cut off the other provides but when our president is so foolish to call communist china and president xi gives that to putin i don't know what other evidence is necessary. president xi has talked scores of times over the last 12 months. >> they have.

one example of how this things together, biden is working with the russians to secure the iran deal. every other administration has said the iran deal has no capacity whatsoever to prevent iran from getting is there weapons but what is more important to us immediately is that deal will give russia a backdoor into the global economy. as soon as they sign the deal it will completely undercut every scientist on —- sanction then there's another venue to reach out. iran will launder money for russia and then we are right back where we started. mark: as an american legal matter, joe biden has no authority to sign any deal about consulting congress under existing federal law and has no intention of doing that.

it is so bad what the russians are doing and what biden is doing with the iranians that even entrenched bureaucrats at the state department and other parts are leaking out what is taking place because they are so gravely concerned. this is something that is not getting the attention it deserves. we will be right back. you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher investments. (other money manager) ok, then you probably sneak in some hidden and layered fees. (fisher investments) no. we structure our fees so we do better when clients do better. that might be why most of our clients come from other money managers. at fisher investments, we're clearly different. psoriasis really messes with you. try. hope. fail. no one should suffer like that. i started cosentyx®. five years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infection, some serious

and a lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. tell your doctor if your crohn's disease symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reaction may occur. best move i've ever made. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx®.

mark: welcome back. so where do we go from here? we have this axis of evil. >> there are no do overs in history thing we did wrong from the past they are irrelevant. the question is we have seen the true colors of russia that has threatened united states of nuclear war in china which has backed the russians and iran has every intention they are here if all caps. where do we go from here? russia is a good place to start if we cannot checkmate russia in our own backyard we are always at risk and with the two things which is nato has to be strong. allies have to step up and

honestly we have to step up and do more putin can ever believe 1 inch of nato territory would be defended that's nonnegotiable and the other is energy. have to have reliable and affordable energy and a conversation everyone to be good stewards of the planet we have to protect ourselves and we know for fact green energy policy and other energy policies will fail will not protect the planet and if we don't have that hard conversation we are doomed. but something you have parked on again and again is none of this works of mercy get the american economy back in gear. we have to get inflation under control. we have to power up our economy the way we did for four years under donald trump.

everything biden said in the state of the union address would make our economy worse. not only can we not do none of those that do the things to unleash our economy because that's what makes america great. in it takes russia off the table. iran is simple. donald trump solve most of that for us. first of all don't do the iran deal which actually makes them greater threat and does give russia a backdoor. scrap the iran deal. go back to the abraham accords then there is economic integration of political integration and the collective security to stop iran cold. then you turn to china. the reality is disengagement with the chinese economy is the future. it is where we are going. we have to be strong military

in china has to learn how to compete without access to the west. i will finish with taiwan. it is important because if you lose taiwan you lose control of asia that is the first island chain. mark: that taiwan is not part of nato and i say that town in cheek so it's not worth defending that when you have an element in the media and a lot of academia and big chunks of both political parties talking about not escalating we are quite passive in appeasement mode this is very troubling to me. so the enemy will continue to escalate. and to equivocate and that is a big publication to genocidal maniac and legacy building

dictators. thank you for your service in the united states military and thank you for your commentary today. we will be right back.

we hit the bike trails every weekend shinges doesn't care. i grow all my own vegetables shingles doesn't care. we've still got the best moves you've ever seen good for you, but shingles doesn't care. because 1 in 3 people will get shingles, you need protection. but, no matter how healthy you feel, your immune system declines as you age increasing your risk for getting shingles. so, what can protect you? shingrix protects. you can protect yourself from shingles with a vaccine proven to be over 90% effective. shingrix is a vaccine used to prevent shingles in adults 50 years and older. shingrix does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients or to a previous dose. an increased risk of guillain-barré syndrome was observed after getting shingrix. fainting can also happen. the most common side effects are pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, tiredness, headache, shivering,

fever, and upset stomach. ask your pharmacist or doctor about shingrix. shingles doesn't care. but you should.

>> welcome back america. we need to have a robust debate in this country about what is taking place in the world as well as this country. i don't believe in silencing voices, we have disagreements including this network, other networks and other forms as well. but i want my position to be known and i wish our government would prepare the american people and you for the clouds on the horizon. we have rising forces that are focused on destroying this country both within and on the outside. russia is not a passive regime vladimir putin being put upon by the nato. he's an evil genocidal assassin. he's a maniac. the head of communist china

president xi jinping is rounded up millions of people, putting them in prison, having them tortured and murdered. he is not a nice guy either. the regime entire on they want nuclear warheads, they want the ability to shoot them at the united states. that is a state to play as i see it. i'll see you next time on life, life,liberty and even. steve: breaking tonight new moves to cut off putin's oil and gas. in the carnage in the days ahead. a live report benjamin in ukraine. will brave russians protesting against the war joining us live from moscow. general jack keane is with us with this latest analysis of russian invasion. we start with video that captures the real humane cost of this work. a toddler struck in the head by russian bomb charbonneau. brushing the 18-month-old into a hospital.
