part of your sunday with us, i hope you have a great 4th of july weekend, until next week you can find us on-line or trey gowdy pod cost, good night from south carolina, "life, liberty and levin" is up next. ♪ ♪ [music] mark: hello america, i am mark levin. this is a special independence day of "life, liberty and levin," we had incredibly patriotic guests this year. tonight we look back at of some most compelling arguments, let's begin with our first gift of 2022, governor ron desantis.

america's governor of florida, my opinion is one of the most influential conservative figures today. making a huge positive impact. >> we'ree here with our guest governor desantis. >> good to see you in florida. mark: this is snowing up there. it is nice. 75 degrees here. a lot of people are moving to the state of the florida. before we get into that. i would like to know about your wife, casey, we've come to knowe' her a lovely person, how is she i doing. >> going through the breast cancer treatments, she is very strong. i think she is responding about as well as you can. it is a difficult process, there are some days that are good, some that are bad. so we're working through it. and something that you nevern 't to have to face. but i can tell you, if

anyone can beat it, she is going to beat it. mark: local press, criticizing you, talking about you as if you were joe biden in the basement in wilmington. and you accompany your wife to theou treatments. >> yes, they try -- you know this was in between christmas and new years, they say she is vacationing. point of fact that i was with her all day. in her treatments. it is something i have gone to all of them with her, it is what i need to do as a supportive spouse, it is not easy for her to go through it, not easy for a spouse to watch, the idea that would be a vacation, that was offensive to a lot of people who have gone through cancer treatments. mark: there are a lot of

governors, many republican governors, you are the focus so i suspect if you are an effective governor you wouldn't threaten the left wing media. you have some real terrible media here, this is me speaking. palm beach is just disaster. orlando. tampa,. disaster. if you were a mediocre democrat governor, or you were a cuomo, a disastrous governor, you wouldn't get this attention. >> now look, when you are over the target, they come at you, i view it as, i view ite as positive feedback. if the corporate press nationaly, iste not attacking me, then i'm probably not doing my job. the fact they are attacking me indicates that you know, i am tackling the big issues, we're going after critical race theory, fightingit back against biden's mandate, and against illegal immigration, all

those things, that the vast majority of floridians and americans want to see done it threatens the ruling class and regime. when you stand up, in this day and age, you speak to the truth. those folks do not want that to get out, they will throw arrows at you, i think that what we've been able to show, if you stand your ground. if you lead, if you don't back down, just stand for the right things, there is a groundswell of folks that will have your back. back. mark: did you think an issue like a pandemic or a vaccine or this monoclonal antibody, did you think that would be politicized the way that washington has politicized it? and biden. you had to fight like hell to get citizens of the state, monoclonal antibodies you have focused on very heavily. the therapeutic, a side point, ass a footnote, i was in florida, my family was in

florida, i got the johnson & johnson vaccine. i got the booster. i got the virus. and we looked up on the internet, there was a center 20 miles away. we could go to get the monoclonal antibody, you are supposed topp get within 48 hours, the after the first day i felt lousy, i fill -- felt fine, it works, you have it all over the state, you are the only governor that has done this. what do you make of this. >> allrd political. we set up the centers, this summer. it workedke we kept tens of thousands of people out of the hospital, no one disputes that, as it was happening in september. they decided the official government decided to seize control ofof the monoclonal

antibodies and cut supplies to florida and texas mainly, i did a deal with another company. our numbers were so low there was not a lot of demand for months. but now you see omicron you see more prevalence in winter, we anticipated. we're not getting what we need, we're working through that. we think we have a potential to have a positive solution on this. but you know, hhs says, florida you used too much, part of reason we use more than other states, we have embraced treatment. most of other governors and people like fauci and federal leadership, say, got a shot, wear a mask, they never talk about treatment, we embrace treatment that is the reality. you were vaccinated, you still got it. i wish that vaccines were sterilizing but they not providing that type of immunity to be hostileeo

to people like me who are dealing with treatment, it is political agenda and partnership. and not best interest of the american people. mark: i can could wrong. i don't obsess over joe biden'sss speeches. i can't follow most. i don't believe he ever mentioned monoclonal antibodies as an option, fauci almost never talks about them. he is on tv endlessly. the media, almost never talks about them. and i don't think that most americans have heard of it, it is note a great i did disservice. >> you e look back to how pandemic was handled there will be a whole host of cardinal sins, chief ones will be school closures. we have schools closed now in parts of the nation. the extended lockdowns, the lockdowns were a

disaster but not focuses on treatment from the beginning wassu huge mistake, and fawchy fauci and people like him are to blame for this, to get treatment on-line to ignore them and put your eggs in one basket wassa fundamental mistake. biden did mention it once, we have not t seen a ramp up, he had months after it was demonstrated to be ready for this. ion t don't know that they will embrace it, i think they have tunnel vision in terms of how they want to handle it, it has not worked, he demagogued donald trump during the campaign saying that trump was to blame for china, e-- for covid even though china was to blame. it was a ridiculous thing to say. he gets in, and now you see

cases like no one anticipated was possible, this is his val central promise of his campaign up in spoke, as a result they try to find scapegoats fighting withsc florida and texass is one thing they do to divert attention from their failure. mark: he admitted failure, saying there is nothing else federal government can do, saying they should have ordered more tests. he t comes into presidency, they have 3 vaccines, therapeutics and tests. mark: next up, what is the real agenda of vladimir putin? we'll dis-- >> talk aboutke it can newt gingrich, we'll be right back.

...free your gut. and your mood will follow. age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein.

mark: welcome back to our special edition of "life, liberty and levin." we're celebrating this great country, by showing you some of the best segments from our guests this year. one of the issues we've been talking about for months, is the war in eastern europe. so what is putin's real angle? newt gingrich had the answer.

go. >> we're here with our friend newt gingrich, you a historian, you know a lot about the past. let's talk about the future. is there any confusion about what vladimir putin wants to do what doing? >> i don't think so, i think you could be willfully avoiding reality, if you are open to looking at it. you d point out. he wrote a 9 thousands word, he gave a long speech to russian people before he invaded. he had a lifetime of saying the same thing, said that greatest disaster of the 20th century was the collapse of soviet union, he is committed to reestablishing a russian empire. and in russian tradition, ukraine is a key part of russia. he wants to seize the country. i think that he has been shocked because the ukrainians in fact have slowed down and some places

defeated the russian army. i think that he really thought they would collapse and it a would be a three-day event, now not clear he could ever occupy all of ukraine. yet, i think he can't figure out an exit strategy, he has himself on a limb. i think that the job -- this is the crisis of western democracy. if we don't have the guts to stand up too him, when he is a war criminal, you pointed out. he was a war criminal in chechnya and syria. and being a war criminal in ukraine, internationalnt krill killing russian dissidents in great britain. his whole approach is one of being outside any kind of reasonable decent rule of law. so, the question is, does the biden administration do ournd allies have the guts to stand up and ensure that

ukrainians win. if they get the equipment, they will probably bite beat the russians, imposing for putin's crises on whether his regime can survive if theyr are defeated. mark: i think a mistake is made when people analyze this in a vacuum, what takes place in russia and ukraine affects eastern europe and nato, and china and taiwan. it is affecting iran, and israel and the middle east. people in these regimes are watching carefully. some of them are participating. trying to see if the united states is willing to stand up fors if allies in a rational way. and it seems when you raise these issues. you are accused of being a war monger. or part of the rino

establishment regime. what do you make of that? >> i think liberals, easiest way to think of this is that liberals saw the lion king and thought this was a documentary. they wandered around thinking this lion and zebra dance together. you explain if is domestic criminals, murdering, rape be and carjacking or international terrorists, or country whose leaders are terrorists, that one way to think of putin, they can't believe it's true, they say, don't you understand, there has to bee a better way, i tell you, without the weight and might of u.s. in great great britain, hitler would have won. without determination of u.s. and allies, the soviet union might have one. we're back in the same

business, you have two dictatorial countries that are big. and if china decides this western democracy are gutless, in the end we have words but no weapons not willing to stand for our values and interest, this world be be so much more dangerous almost overnight, people will look back and think this is the seem our civilization crumbles that forces of darkness came to dominate the planet. mark: seems apparent the vast majority american people regardless of political party or affiliation agree with your point. 85 85% believe ukraine matters to u.s., american people are not stupid, they know a genocidal monster. they know the threat of the access that has developed between china iran and

russia. and they know that this thing has the potential to bleed into poland and hungary and balkan states, they know they want it contained and addressed as best as possible. without doing stupid things, blundering into a war by sending troops in. so the american people agree with your strategy. is that correct? >> i think that american people are largely in touch with reality. let's start with that, they believet, that you have to stop predators, you have to stop people who would attack you. and it is a gut deep instinct about the nature of life. you have to go to yale or harvard to fantasize thank you deal with evil by somehow placating it and having a nice conversation,

normal people who have not been subject ed that kind of brain washing understanded this is crazy. guys like putin have to be stopped. mark: when we return, the crimes of the biden family, there are many, a person conversations with peter schweizer is next, we'll be right back.

christina: welcome to fox news live. i am christina coleman in new york, no holiday for thousands of travelers, from coast-to-coast, tsa reports that air travel is back near prepandemic levels, but many ticket holders are having trouble getting off the ground. from denmark, word this hour, a deadly mass shooting in a busy mall in copenhagen. three people were dead. and another 3 critically hurt. >> this suspected gunman has opinion captured and -- been captured and charged with manslaughter, too early to speculate a motive. >> i'm cristina coleman, now back to "life, liberty and levin" special. ♪ ♪

mark: welcome back america. i hope you are enjoying our 4th of july special. i am. a must see, why we're showing you it again, peter schweizer reveals truth about biden family dirty business dealing with china. >>. >> peter, is our terrific gift. he is the president of the the accountability institute. speaking of which peter schweizer let's cut to the chase, we have a president of united states whose family received millions of dollars directly from communist chinese government and their military, it is the sameon thing. they t cannot account for millions of dollars here, in their tax returns. their s -corporations they have not released tax returns to those, yet not a

single investigation of him his son hunter, his brother james. and the rest of the biden crime family. is this not a massive cover-up by the media and democrat party? >> it is a huge problem. just in historical contact, imagine if you have jimmy carter family during cold war or ronald reagan's family, where family members did deals with russian businessmen whoyo were linked to kgb and received 31 million dollars. there would be alarm bells going off, rightfully so, that is the situation we're have. only it involves the bidens. andd involves china, and not the soviet union. but all parameters are there. and it is a frighteningcircumstance, is to me there is so little curiosity, it was in the day when these scandals erupted

they would look into it, no one is doing that in dax in dc, they are not will doling out the money out of charity, they are doing it because they are expecting to get something in return. that is what their goal is there is no question, that they are already reaping some of the benefits. >> despite all of the implications of this. possible manchurian candidate. national security implications of such a thing. the policy related issues. they were attacking trump for the clause. we have a director link, cash leaving one regime hgoing to the hands of the

vice president's family. and quite frankly the vice president, now the president of the united states who said he had nothing to do with this. one of the earliest people who said we need a special counsel, modern republicans seem disinterested, they are fine with u.s. attorney in wilmington, they say high he was appointed by trump. i am troubled by this. democrats wantth a special counsel no matter what. here, when you have issues like this. we understand hunter biden is under investigation by u.s. attorney's office. he may well have a wall or bifurcated the president of uniteded states, if he does investigate the president of united states he has to inform the public integrity second, criminal division, that informed associate

attorney general of united states that informed the attorney general of the meunited states, there is a reporting requirement. he or she is more independent. they have a laser like focus. on the individual for whom and the subjects for whom he or she was appointed. so, there is a need for a special counsel here when you consider the fact we're talking about whether someone was bought off, is in the oval office, violations of tax laws and national security issues, why the resistance? >> you know this is a taylor made case for an independent counsel, involving family and president of the united states, attorney general appointed by the president of united states and he is the one who will direct this u.s. attorney that has this grand jury in delaware. you need to have an independent counsel. let's be clear, if it were

just about hunter, who cares let him go off, it's not, it is clear that hunter collected funds from overseas particularly china, a lot of evidence on the laptop and elsewhere that some of the money ended up with joe biden, money was fungible itmo moved around to james biden and others, the fact is that you need an independent counsel, then why don't we have one, part is that biden administration doesn't want there to be one,. the other reason, we need an independent counsel not just the issue of prosecution, but the issue of the american people finding out what actually happened here. because if this u.s. attorney precedes let's say hunter biden is indicted. there may be a settlement over an agreement and american a people never have basic questions answers there will be no public

reporting about how much money joe biden got where that 31 ended up, what favors were granted. and an independent counsel would give us a report and allow american people to look at evidence and information separate from there there is aep prb cues prosecution. mark: next, senator ted cruz walks us through the attack this nation's highest court. if the danger that will come if the left gets their way, stay there for more of the best left field -- "life, liberty and levin" show and we'll be right back. and this is the sound of better breathing. fasenra is a different kind of asthma medication. it's not a steroid or inhaler. fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils. it's one maintenance dose every 8 weeks. it helps prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing,

and lower use of oral steroids. nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils. fasenra is designed to target and remove them. fasenra is not a rescue medication or for other eosinophilic conditions. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection or your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may occur. this is the sound of fasenra. ask your doctor about fasenra.

mark: welcome back america. a few short months ago i asked ted cruz about then supreme court nominee ketanji brown jackson. radical past. and the far left's agenda for high court, here is his important warning. >> one of great legal minds,

serves in senate is ted cruz, he was a clerk for chief justice rehnquist. argued places for the supreme court. senator cruz, welcome, you are on the senate judiciary committee, you questioned this nominee, were you am impressed with her. >> i have known judge jackson for 30-years, we were in law school together. personally speaking she is very bright and charming and affable. but her substantive record, you used that word radical, that is right, it is dramatically to the left. and if she is confirmed, she will be the most liberal justice of all 9, the most liberal to have ever served to u.s. supreme court. and that will have

consequences across the range. for free speech, for religious liberty, for the second amendment. her record shows a consistent left wing radical approach. but i think there was no area where her record was more troubles than crime. here record on crime in particular, she came out of law school, and clerked for justice breyer on the supreme court. she became a federal public defender, we have known public defenders, people go and do that. because their heart is with criminal defendants with the murderers and criminals that is who they arend rooting for, a lot of the same reason become a prosecutor, they want to lock up bad guys, public defenders often have ali natural inclination in the direction of the criminal, that was not just while she

was a public defender, she carried it on to the bench, shena became a criminal judge, my office did a analysis of her criminal sentences versus every other federal judge the nation, her average sentence, was 29.9 months. average nationally is 45.1. she is 34% less than naish average -- it gets more concernss when you deal with sex crimes, she has 3 decades of advocates for lenient treatment for sex offenders in particular her recordat dealing with defendants who are guilty of possession or distribution of child pornography. her record is no less than astonishing. over and over again. she had 10 different cases in front of her over her time as a judge, dealing

with people who all of whom pleaded guilty to possession or distribution of child pornograph. over and over again, 100% of the time, when she had sentencing discretion, she gave them a slap on the wrist, much lower than sentencing guidelines, lower than the prosecutorred is asked for. average sentence for someone who pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography was 29.2 months. the national average is 68 months, that means, she sentenced 57% below national average. and i'll tell you, more stunning for the people whow pleaded guilty tona distribution of child porn. the national average is 135 months, if you that is a bad crime.

her average is 71.9, it is half, there is a mandatory minimum for 60 months, she could not go bolo below, this is a disturbing pattern, if she is confirmed i think we'll see 30 or 40 years a justice over and over again voting to release murderers, and voting to put loopholes in place that benefit sexual predators and violent criminals, that is disturbing. mark: rule against death penalty cases in the state. and lenient on violent illegal immigrants. you are right. she is a total predict able. the hard left of the judiciary here.

yet. ted cruz, i have not heard a democrat senator speak out against her, i hear so-called moderates. manchin endorsed here and a couple republican senators on the fence, susan collins said she met her and likes here, she will vote for her. given her record and she is an extremist, she is, don't we as the public who have to live with the results of these decisions and live with the rut results of justices have a right to conclude senators to vote for her are weak on the same subjects. >> that is only outcome you can come, to the last book i wrote, one vote away, a single supreme court seat can c change history, we did a show talking about that book one vote away, it went to number one to the amazon bestseller list. that book every chapter talks about a different

constitutional right. there is a chapter on free speech and second amendment on religious liberty, on crime and death penalty. and about what the book does is it tells war stories, not an academic book, it tells first hand accounts of litigating some of the biggest landmark cases in the nation. what is striking, you know it, that over and over against the big know what landmark cases are 5 to 4, we're one vote away. from losing your familiar fundamental rights. i think that odds 100% that judge jackson would vote to overturn heller, the death penalty, we have seen activists justices, vote to overturn the death penalty. i think odds are 100% that

judge jackson would vote to overturn the death penalty. and at the end of the day when you have senator bhos who don't support abolishes police and don't -- then you are supporting abolishes police and repealing second amendment and taking away our free speech rights, you are taking away that agenda. mark: these absurdity was not willing to define a women, that tells you where she will turn out on the title 9 cases, and not knowing what critical race critical race theory is, she wrote about it and talked about tomorrow ted thank you for being one of the leading voices in the united states senate, opposition to this nomination, on

behalf of the constitution. >> god bless. >> after the break, our final guest on "life, liberty and levin," dave ruben on radical gender ideology. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ aleve x. its revolutionary rollerball design delivers fast, powerful, long-lasting pain relief. aleve it, and see what's possible. ♪ ♪ dry eye symptoms keep driving you crazy? inflammation in your eye might be to blame. time for ache and burn! over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. those'll probably pass by me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra? no! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is approved to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.

mark: welcome back america. the issue of gender idea ol. ology, has gripped nation, a few months ago i caught up with dave rubin, what is really going on in our children's classrooms. >> one of the great observers of our culture, david rubin. host of the rubin report, a fantastic new book. don't burn this country. surviving and thriving. i want to ask you to the classroom and parent's move. and disney, i feel this just happened over last couple years it has become a civil right to sexualize 5-year-old, six-year-olds and 7-year-olds, and i say to myself, shouldn't everyone be rising up again it whether you are straight or gay, is the point to

leave little babies alone? >> the funny thing is while feels like it just burst forth, there has been a long march through the institutions, people can link it back to colleges and ivy leagues in 60s, but last couple years, super charged by algorithms and with big tech. a corrupt woke media that lies to us about everything. and being nonracist is racist. it is suddenly seems that this is everywhere. and it is relentless. of course, what your real point is, is right, we should be allowing kids to be kids, we should not be sexualizing kids and should not allow state employees, that is what public schoolteachers are to have private conversations with kindergarteners through

third graders. and then hide the private conversations from the parents. don't say gay. is the meme you know, gay is not in the bill. they could have calmed it the don't say straight bill. you wouldn't want a male first grade teacher talking with a young girl about sex either. this is to take it all out of the classroom, you see people screaming about this, saying this is an assault on gay rights. or something like that, it is 100% a lie. but, i know that does not surprise you, you have been screaming about the lies for longer than i have. mark: this is more insidious. you agree with me? that one of the reasons they

don't tell the truth about the bills, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on, vast majority, of the american people, i don't care their sexual preference, would say this is irrational. yet they politicize it. and now disney is all in. which is supposed to be a wholesome family place and so forth, even though it is operated out of california, no offense, but disney dealt built this brand, we have spend a fortune going to their parks and their films, my daughter was a subscriber for her kids, she cut that off. is this something that really is 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 being in

california, a left california and have the great state of florida now, toll down question -- pop down question, the ceo of disney, chapek, to become ceo of disney you have to have a good pedigree in business, you have to know how to make deals and acquire companies, pick proper programming to max out profits. that is what businesses is about. you may have seen it they leaked a bunch of the videos with chapek is apologizing in most pathetic pandering way to his lgbtq diversity equity inclusion employees, these are the same people who tell people they are putting their messaging secretly, not so secretly in a lot of

the programming. i appreciate the fact that twice you said, you don't care whether someone is gay or straight related on this this a part that is getting lost. 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 they are tout these things, if you remove that don't say gay. every parent knows that they would not want their kid to discuss any of this stuff with a teacher, we could have an honest discussion, okay when should health be taught. but we know that is not for first graders, on the top down thing. i think it is a little bit of both. i think that you get you

rise up the corporate chain in woke companies if you don't really know what you believe in and you play by their ridiculous rules, partly how he got the position, and bottom up means that inmates are running the asylum with marginal employees at all of the companies, we know about this in publishing word. they suddenly because of twitter and on-line mob, they seem they have the power, but i suspect if a couple of good people stood up against it it would go away quickly that movement is building right now. mark: when we come back. i have a final word to share with you on this independence day eve, we'll we'll be right back.

age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein.

institutions, it is there, stick with your flag, stick with the declaration, remember them all this july 4, god bless each and every one of you, i cannot thank you enough, see you next time on "life, liberty and levin." steve: good evening everyone welcome to a special edition of "the next revolution". this is the home of positive populism, pro-worker, pro-family, pro-community, and especially pro -america. the first time we put together a list that we are for talking about my last book positive populism a simple way to summarize the argument for someone say we know it populism is against
