god was working all things through their lives. thank you for joining me. god bless. ♪ ♪ >> hello america i'm mark levin, this is "life, liberty and levin," we have two great guests, general jack keane. about what is going on in ukraine, russia. china, all over the world and the impact on united states. 4 family and children. also dave rubin, a great

come tate or about culture and so forth. a discussion about wokism, culture at disney and the rest. what is taking place in your classrooms, to your little kids and grand kids, stick with me. before we go to the gifts, ronald reagan used to ask the question: years ago? i'll ask that question. are you better off today than you were 4 years? is the country? under president trump? let's look at the dismal numbers. dismal. we're still heading south. consumer prices, price you pay rose 8. 5% in march, highest in 40 years. consumer price index, jumped 8.5% from a year ago.

on an unadjusted basis. data reflect price rises not seen in u.s. since stag flation days. you know this. due to surge . no. if something goes up, 8.5%, and your wages go up 5. 6%, last i checked that is almost a 3% gap. food rose 1% for the month. 8.8% over the years, prices for goods, rice, ground beef, citrus fruits, all posted gains over 2% in march. prices up 11% and 32%, gas line creases popped 18.3%

for the month. price gains in clothing, services, each which increased . 6%, transportation services rose 2%. 12 month gain 7.7%. these are monthly increases. soaring gas prices. they are force something uber and lyft drivers off the road. when prices for gasoline go up almost 20 percent a month, food prices, more on food prices. here are items predicted to cost more at grocery store. poultry and eggs, fats, oils, fruits, -- nonalcoholic bev beverages like milk. and producer price index.

of goods and services producers receive, rose in march at fastest pace since records have been kept. bureau of labor statistic reported that producer price index prices paid by whole wholesaler increase 11. 2% from a year ago. the gauge climbed 1.4%. stripping out food and energy and trade services. so-called core ppi rose .9% on monthly basis. that is where you get 10 or 11% on annual basis. that is excluding food and energy. supply chain crisis. continues, we never had a

supply chain crisis. a whole host of biden policy decision said former secretary of transportation . elaine chao, they have been telling you our ports are working 24/7, long beach has 7, one is working 24/7, why are they not all working 24/7, because of union rules and labor rules in california. biden new plan to fight inflation, remember he talked about going after big meat? now it is big oil. and all that has to do with putin. everything that is in short supply. currency is debased by

deficit spending it is on vladimir putin here, is a monster. he is a genocidal maniac. that does not give biden a pass on what he is doing to our country internally, his policies are destroying the united states of america, your pension, salary, bonuses, they are driving up medical costs. i creating food shortages. next thing, you know, listen we'll have brown outs and blackouts and gas shortages, what do we do? like we did in 70s? even and odd days to fill up your car? it is coming. it is not because russia invaded ukraine. it because the democrats invaded the oval office and congress, these, the policies at work, they embraced bernie sanders, we we don't hear from him any more?

i wonder why? they embrace the marxist agenda of destroying fossil fuels, you remember that document that bernie sanders and joe biden put out, most radical. it could have been written marxist, that is what they are instituting. they are going through this, u.s. government debt, over 30 trillion dollars. when biden took office is was 23 trillion. 30 trillion. it is unimaginable that percentage of gdp we've not seen since height of world war ii, here surpassing it,

in relative peacetime. that is number one. the interest we have to way interest on the debt that takes a bigger and bigger percentage of the federal budget. you folks will see high inflation and shortages, and costy going way up. supplies down. this is the horror that is created by the left. when they abuse the laws of economics, the laws of economics are just as correct as the laws of physics, you can't change them with legislation or borrowing, man kind has experienced this before, whether in germany or

zimbabwe wherever you look. you print money, and create situations where people don't know where to put their money or invest in researching capital, they are not sure. so on. you are having a war against fossil fuels? and what happens, you get less fossil fuel,y were energy independent, 18 months ago. now we're begging venezuela and saudi arabia for oil? vladimir putin didn't do, that joe biden did; that chuck schumer did that, and nancy pelosi did that, the democrat party did that, that is what do that. never forget. we have 30 to 31 trillion dollars in debt. biden wanted to add, remember that build back better nonsense, that is another 6 trillion? where would be today with that. are we better today than 4

years ago? cities across u.s. are breaking all-time homicide records this year, wow, not just homicide, violent crime across the border, and not just violence crime. you see how people steal things from stores willy-nilly. lawlessness. what is the department of justice doing? chasing down parents in front of school boards. going after republican legislatures where they disagree with the will of the people. or putting sensible voting laws back in place, what is different of justice doing, they have 13,000 special agent in fbi. give or take. how many of those 13,000 are focused on going after people who are quote, unquote, parading or trespassing on january 6? they say this is biggest investigation they have. biggest one, not terrorism, not the mob, no. not second crimes. -- sex crime are not the

mexican cartels, january 6, how many of those 13,000 special agents are biz like at video, they say they look at 21,000 hours of video. we have to get those trespasser and traders, we all agree with violent crime, the media and left don't, they were fine in summer of 2020, that was liberating. let's look. we better off today? >> than 4 years ago? look at afghanistan. i horrific surrender. resulted in murder of 13 american soldiers. look at russia, threatening to u.s. nukes against us. would that have done that under donald trump, look at iran getting nukes from this president? they were barely surviving under donald trump, economically and otherwise. china, producing more nukes than before. they did not do that under trump either, i would say our foreign policy is a

abject disaster. a grave threat to united states, our classrooms. we have a parents move, because joe biden and democrat party and big government teachers educational bureaucrats unions have taken control of the classrooms, they don't want parents involved in teaching of their babies, they are pushing transgenderism, and sexualization. pushing critical race theory. and they are pushing all kinds of the hard left marxist agenda our kids, one thing they're not pushes is education, then we have the executive order. destroying women's sports. title 9. women hood. we can't define a woman any more. we have a historic appointing we're told, a black woman to the supreme court of the united states who can't define a woman. why she is historic. >> why? >> because she wants to be

free to rule in a radical left way. when it comes to these ideologies. they are destroying women hood and women sports. then in my view we have most corrupt president. in america. former mayor of moscow's wife invested 3.5 million in biden family, china invested millions in biden family, former okay, you ukraine regime, we don't know about joe and jill biden's s corporations, they have got released their tax returns to, that they invested millions in biden family. what do we know about this? other than what what reporters have been doing? not enough. should we not know if joe biden is the man chue ran candidate, if he has been bought off and soldout, i think we could. there are more predicates

here than you can throw a stone at. are we better off today than 4 years ago, hell no, the country is in [♪♪] if you have diabetes, it's important to have confidence in the nutritional drink you choose. try boost glucose control®. it's clinically shown to help manage blood sugar levels and contains high quality protein to help manage hunger and support muscle health. try boost® today. nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like: try hypnosis... or... quit cold turkey. kidding me?! instead, start small. with nicorette. which can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette

mark: welcome back in, we have a great of guest. retired 4-star general jack keane, a friend, institute of study of war chairman. you have seen him many times to fox. i want to dig in deeply on the invasion of ukraine by russia. we have the russians amassing again forces on the eastern border in of donbas. they are begging for helicopter and artillery. i read that expert is a that russia just wants to

bomb bard the believe out of this country, should we not be providing the country with the weaponry they need. they would like to live and fight, they have the opportunity to actually defeat the russians in ukraine. >> i'm for what zelenskyy and his military are trying to achieve that is defeat russians, listen, that put facts to table, united states and nato provided significant amount of weaponry to ukraine to help them win the first phase of the war, 70,000 antitank weapons, now some of that equipment did not come as fast as it should have, i have been critical of that

administration for that. now we're in a different phase of the war. the russians for the time, given up the north. they are moving their operation down south to east and donbas region. for our audience, that is where russian separatists and russians had a present since 2014. they are familiar with this area. and they are bringing as much as they can to bear on that, for the last couple weeks, zelenskyy who has seen this coming, the president of ukraine, he has been begging for different kinds of systems, he wants other systems to continue to come to kill tanks, and shoot down the aircraft with shoulder-fired air defense systems. but now he wants advance weapon systems because we're getting into a conventional combined arms fight on open flat terrain. that is why he is asking for

tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, radar. combat aircraft and helicopters. the administration has finally put a list together that does just that. and he has -- u.s. has -- artillery on the list. and list goes on. we're getting with the program here, finally to help zelenskyy in that phase. that list is a good list. the czechs are providing tanks and british as well. how fast we can get that in there will be an issue, these are complicated systems. and we're providing hundreds of armored vehicles. i feel good about finally we'll get the weapons that zelenskyy has been asking for for a couple weeks.

what i think is happening in front of us is the russians are using some of the same tactics they used in the north. and lost to the ukrainians. much of the vehicles they used to come down to the south, and start to maneuver, they are road bound, they are wheeled vehicles, there not a lot of track vehicles, i'm convince they'd have not real done the training to do armor warfare which is high-end conventional warfare, you are out in formations and changing based on what your enemy is doing supported by artillery and air power. i think the despite the russians gathers and consolidating their forces, i think ukrainians will give them a hell of a tough fight, there is no certainty that russians will be able to accomplish what they want to the south, they want, so

we understand is, they want to take control of ukraine entire southern coast that would turn ukraine to a land locked nation and cut them off from the sea. which is economically devastating to them, because all their experts and imports depend on mostly on sea lanes. that is the objective. they are struck -- they will struggle to accomplish that, i am done under estimating these okay, you ukrainians, they have skill and determination and leaders, they will do very well with proper equipment. mark: i have fell, that the people are fighting for everything. for their families, we see the horrific genocide and atrocities. the more land the russians give up to reset the battlefield, you see what happened to civilians, the

butchery, debauchery and rape and murder, it is important that we have a war crime tribunal, that is after the fact. we continue to gather information, the people are still are you taking a statin drug to reduce cholesterol? it can also deplete your coq10 levels. i recommend considering qunol coq10 along with your statin medication. the brand i trust is qunol. go with simparica trio it's triple protection made simple! simparica trio is the first and only monthly chewable that covers heartworm disease, ticks and fleas, round and hookworms. dogs get triple protection in just one

refusing to surrender, 2000 ukraine troops are ignoring a surrender or die ultimatum. >> and mariupol has been under bombardment since the start of the war. >> ukraine foreign minister describes the situation there as dire and heartbreaking, they are encircled by russian troops. elimination of ukrainian forces in mariupol could end a chance for peace. back to "life, liberty and levin" for your headlines log on to foxnews.com. okay, .

>> why is this important to united states. >> ukrainians have antiship missiles, we didn't give them harpoons that we have, they don't have the launch systems, they have the systems, i'm assuming that is what has hit the russian ship in the black sea. as to larger question, dealing with the administration in support of the ukrainians, i had a concern that the administration had an unstated strategy one to assist the ukrainians, the unstated part was not to provoke putin. i think that was operating

for weeks. that got in the middle why the migs did not go in and other thins did not go because they were afraid that putin would escalate. we have been critical of that administration for that. they seem to have turned a corner in providing the amount of equipment that is necessary. always had the concern that the biden administration is not on the same page with zelenskyy. who wants to stop the atrocities and genocide, he believes only way you will stop it, is to drive the russian out of his country and declare his depend independent sovereignty again. i,a agree. the biden administration was

pro concerned about provoking vladimir putin. people may still think that way, but now we're providing them the weapons they need. to overall issue, we have a country in 21st century, russia, that is conducting a barbaric invasion of an independent sovereign state. we're not seen that since world war ii, that impacted global security. certainly security in europe, and begins to reset security framework of europe that brings in u.s. national security. it is critical for us to make certain that zelenskyy and the ukrainians can drive the russians out, job one. number two. we have got to reinforce the eastern european countries that are a part of nato with true capability now and not

a lot of rhetoric. i'm talking about forward defensive capability, so putin knows full well the price he will pay if he begins to invade a nato nation. but the best deterrents, is zelenskyy and ukraine military, the feeding and crushing the russia -- defeating and rushing the russian army, 75% of that russian army is deployed in ukraine. if he can defeat that russian army it would take him several years to regroup and recover from the devastation. that is why we have to be all in. that is best deterrent we could have. mark: if russia is defeated in ukraine, it will not go further to other countries. what is communist china and

xi taking from this? >> i think they recognize full well their strategic partner miscalculated rather seriously, they must have second thoughts about vladimir putin's judgment. they have not condemned this invasion, or supported it. they are supported strategic partner. i think this will not change president xi in my mind, down agree with those who believe that pause of all problem that russia is having. somehow, that will impact china and they are not going to be as aggressive as they have been in the past, i don't buy, that i think that president xi operates on his own national interest and his strategic goals, they are clear, he talks about them in his speeches thatta domination of indo-pacific trojan and replacing united states as global power of

the world, and to be on top economically, militarily and technology. he about that, and taiwan is part of that. he intends to solve that problem while he is serving as chairman. i think that we're still on that page. despite all problems that his strategic partner is having. he is enshrined in fall of this year for his third term, likely no term limit, we will be able to serve indefinitely, that is supposed to happen, that will likely happen. i believe that president xi, will continue to listen to what is happening, he is watching. the impact of sanctions on russia and what it is doing to their economy. i spoke to the ambassador from china as late as

tuesday night. i can tell you he is focused on what is happened in ukraine. trying to understand it and also see how the world is uniting against russia and identifying them as a international paria. that said, i believe that president xi will stay focused on his goals despite the fact the problems his partner is having. mark: i agree 100%. even if you are wrong, we getter prepare. >> getting weapons for taiwan would be different than getting them to ukraine. the island. that makes a lot tougher. general, thank you so much for your past service, your service now, and informing the american people, you are a great patriot, god bless. >> you always great talking >> you always great talking to you mark and (motor starting)

mark: welcome back, one of great observers of our cull culture is david rubin, host of the rubin report, he has a fantastic book out. i want to ask you about this culture of ours, to go to the classroom and parents movement and to disney and so forth. i feel that is suddenly happened last couple years. where it is a civil right to sexualize 5-year-olds, six-year-olds and 7-year-olds, i think that myself, shouldn't anyone be rising up, isn't the point to leave the babies alone. >> funny thing is, it feels like it just burst forth. there has been a long march through the institutions, you can link

it back to collecting in 60s, but last couple years super charged by algorithm and big tech. a corrupt woke media that lies to us about everything. telling us 2 plus 2 is 5, and. it is suddenly seems that is everywhere and it is relentless. of course, what your real point is, is right, we should be allowing kids to be kids, not sexualizing kids, we should not be allows state employees, that is what public school teachers are, to have private conversations with kindergarten through third greaters, that is the so-called don't say gay bill is about, and hide the conversations from the parents. the meme is don't say gay, you know gay is not in the bill, if media were honest,

could have called it don't say straight bill. you wouldn't want a straight teacher talking with a young six-year-old girl about sex either, to take that out of classrooms and that was -- transparency, you see these people screaming about this, saying this is an assault on gay rights, this is one 100% a lie. mark: this is more insidious. you agree with me that one of the reasons they don't tell the truth about this florida bill and other bills, is because they would not have a leg to stand on, overwhelming majority of american people, i don't care their sexual preference, would say this is rational, yet a

politicized it, now disney is on all, they are supposed to be a wholesome family place. even though it is operated out of california, no offense. disney built this grand, we have spent a fortune going to their parks and their films, my daughter was a subscriber for her kids, and my grand kids, she cut that off. it is -- is this something that is really being pushed from top down? from the radical left on the vast majority of american people? >> first, let me say, i take no offense to disney being in california, i fled california and now live in free state of florida, they have a operation in florida. desantis is really fighting them, the top down question is interesting, there a ceo of disney, bob chappic. to become ceo of disney, you

have to have a pretty get pedigree in business to make deals and acquire companies, and pick the proper programs and et cetera to max out profits for the shareholders. you may have seen it they leaked a bunch of videos where bob chapek is graveling and apologizing to his lgbtq. employees saying he thiede needs to be a better ally, these are same people who tell people they are putting their messaging secretly, not so secretly in a lot of the programming, i really appreciate the fact that mark, twice you said, you don't care whether someone is gay or straight related to this i think that is party that is getting lost. because this does not have anything to do with gay or straight. this has to do with who is

supposed to teach kids what and when are they taught them, you are right, if you just step back and remove that phrase, don't say gay, it a made up phrase, you think of it bill hb-1 577 everyone parents would not want their kid discussing this stuff with a teacher. we could have an honest discussion about when should health be taught. i learned that in 7 grade. we know that is not for first graders. i think a little bit of both on the top down thing, you get -- you rise up the corporate chain in woke companies if you don't really know what you believe and you play by your ridiculous rules, partly how he got position and that means bottom up, inmates are

running the asylum, with marginal employees where junior assistance are protesting books by peterson they suddenly because of twitter, and on-line mob they seem to have the power, i suspect if a couple good people would stand up against it it would go walker quickly, that go walker quickly, that movement is building rightht ♪ ♪ introducing the all-electric chevy silverado rst. the only ev truck that combines: 4-wheel steer a multi-flex midgate and up to a 400-mile range on a full charge and the only way to reserve it is at chevy.com. find your future. find new roads.

>> welcome back, we're with dave rubin, fantastic new book. don't burn this country. you can get it at amazon.com. and anywhere el that wants to share knowledge. my question to you, david rubin, what impact will this woke stuff -- itu don't like that word. until i figure out another one. what impact will it have to the next election? this is a bottom-up election. >> i have a better phrase, how about complete lunacy does that sum it up. that is what it is. conventional thinking that virtually everyone who knows anything about politics

saying there will be a massive red wave, we have a incapacitated president and second in c comand behind him not that much better, the whole thing, pelosi and aoc, lead by radicals, it is a disaster. everything would lead to us believe in a midterm, we'll have a massive red wave, that is basically what i think. however we have to give the devil his due and acknowledge that anything can happen, we have covid thing that is in the system, we're talking about last couple days, philadelphia is bringing mask mandate back, and we hear airline are keeping masks on the planes, could we get a spike suddenly in october? then we have mail in ballots? all of that stuff again. i think that anything is possible.

in these weird times it is important to realize, your vote matters, you have got to stay engaged, don't be afraid to say what you think, and fight and fight and fight. if just think there a red wave and because you think it, that is why it will happen, that is when you start losing elections, every two years you say, every four years, most important election. thing are really teetering out of control right now. >> you are right, every two years it will be most important election of our lifetime. what i call the american marxism movement, they are serious. they are breaking all of the boundaries and fire walls and the constitution. they are not interested in cimity, they are interests in crushing. this is a very different force that we're up against, i think you are right. you are also right the

democrats won in the gerrymandering battles pretty much. you have some of the senate races, where some of the candidates are not the best of the best. some b are rinos. and you have mcconnell trying to influence the outcome of ease election, a bad idea, senator of kentucky reaching to the other states. as you point out, we still have not fixed this election system, there is still an enormous opportunity for democrat party to violate the constitution, and states have tried to rein in some of their voting systems, you are right. what bothers me, people say there will be a great red wave, um, excuse me, we have to vote. which is your i point. is there any more we could say about voting that would encourage people to vote? >> pride comeeth before the

fall, if you think it will happen it will not. you need to make it happen, we need people to get out there and say, if you don't like the woke stuff, i tell my audience, you don't have to be a republican, but you cannot be a democrat. even someone mark who is probably opposed to say a bill maher, if he is now against critical race theory and against wokism and gender stuff and lockdowns, how, could he possibly vote for democrats, he needs to temporarily, at least vote for republican, restore normalcy,re sanity where 2 plus who 2 is 4 to get back to where we were. not whether america would continue or not. >> great dave rubin, get his
