positive,. trey: all right, you have the best job in the world. can't wait to watch you coming up in 55 days, thank you for joining us on a sunday night. >> good night from south carolina, "life, liberty and levin" is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ mark: hello america, this is "life, liberty and levin. welcome. we have two great guests, four-star general david -- and july 4 was only a week ago. on july 4, or maybe a day

there after. i saw either a car correspondent or regular guest, i think on msnbc or cnn, she said to the coast, the constitution does not serve our purposes any more, it was written by a handful of white slave owners, that is what you get from the marxist left. what is in the constitution? due process. free speech. freedom of religion. right to bear arms. the right to be protected in your home. probable cause. all kinds of protections for the individual. what else? limitations on government. limitations on congress, limitations on the presidency, limitations on the courts. we don't have a kind of

totalitarian regime centralized in one place. which is what the founders fought against. what else? we have all kinds of things in the constitution that promote what we call the civil society. law and order, protecting the individual. these people who wrote the constitution and adopted the constitution most of them were people of faith, most of them were learned even though they didn't all go to princeton. most looked back on the various governments that existed. before ours. and during their times. and so they researched, they thought, they looked at philosophers, and they looked at abraham and moses and jesus, and 5 1/2 months in philadelphia they calm up came up with the constitution, it was not imposed on people, every state legislature had a say,

they had a convention, they were the individuals, they were elected at the localist of levels that's correct would have conventions of regular people and legislators, they would get together and make decisions about what they supported and didn't. much more quote, unquote, democratic, wasn't it? you have people on television, denounce the entirety of the constitution, you can understand why they embrace and celebrate something like the january 6 committee in the house of representatives, every member of that committee was approved by and chosen by nancy pelosi, one of the most evil speakers of the house in american history, one of the most diabolical politicians, all members of that committee all 9 voted to impeach

donald trump, who is the subject of their investigation. not january 6, not security for the capitol, but donald trump, someone said it is like the third impeachment. it pretty much is, 5 of the members have openly stated their purpose to pressure the united states department of justice under the attorney general appointed by biden, and u.s. attorney's office, u.s. attorney appointed by biden, to indict former president trump to ensure he never gets close on the oval office again he can't take over the republican party, he can't run for office again. that is a clearly unconstitutional process. for the house of representatives to be involved in, this committee leaks, it cherry picks inform, and conceals any information or witnesses that who challenge their narrative, manipulates evidence and the public

hearing process, is a choreographed stalinist show trial, they read from monitors, they have videos, they have graphics from procession. they are investigating the committee republican state officials, elect attorneys, conservative media figures and organizations, wow that seems a little bit out of their jurisdiction. the citizens can go to court and challenge them, there have been violations left and right of attorney-client privilege, of attorney work product. this is a core fundamental principle in our system of justice. the committee is now using extreme left wing groups, we just learned that are tieded

to democrat party such as southern poverty law center. which is come under financial and other scrutiny in present past to funnel to the committee. >> this group southern poverty law center smears christian organizations, traditional conservative groups, and labels them as hate groups among other things. meanwhile, meanwhile, there has not been one testimony in front of the public regarding this committee has received in second secret by a number of weapons. donald trump authorized the

guardsman to protect the capitol building, he issued that authorize two days before january 6 it was turned down by nancy pelosi and by the mayor of dc, undermine the whole notion he was in charge of an insurrection. and learned as i interviews kash patel. that trump also authorized after the election in november, department of defense to prepare transition to a biden administration. you can challenge the election at the same time allow the government to go forward with a likely or possible transition. that is what donald trump was doing. at the same time biden's appointed u.s. attorney and attorney general are coordinating with that committee, attempt to criminalize challenges to 2020 election, in ways that we've never seen before. will do grave damage to our political system.

a candidate listen on me, a candidate or surrogates can and have under our constitution challenges the vote in states. not only through litigation like al gore, but through the say the legislatures, they do not give courts or executive branch the power. determine who the electionors will be -- electors will be, they chose and in our history in 2000 in florida. republican state legislature taken steps to appoint the the electors because the supreme court of florida blocked process, and also. we had two sets of electors sent to congress, as well. it is not a crime for a candidate to ask for to

lobby state len legislators to look what the is taking place or change the outcome. you may not like it. you may not think it is politically wise, you may not think it is ethical. it is certainly not illegal, and not criminal. now we have the u.s. attorney office with approval of attorney general, no doubt, searching the homes and the electronic devices of attorneys of the election attorneys, you have a federal grand jury, hearing testimony from information taken from attorneys. the efforts to use criminal statutes to that never been used before this this way to manufacture a coop effort or claim interference or something else. pure and simple. by biden appointees, of justice and u.s. attorney office is a horrific abuse

of power by people who really are not interested in the constitution. keep something else in mind work washington, d.c. is a haven for democrats. 92% of the vote in washington d.c. went to joe biden, 92%. who do you think makes itch up the grand juries and the juries? the people in the city of washington, d.c. they voted 92% for joe biden or hillary clinton, you hav a attorney general of u.s. and u.s. attorney trying to bring an indictment in front of a grand jury, in grand jury there is no opposition, just a prosecutor and the members of the grand

jury, and the witnesses are not free to have an attorney present, if you have a trial, and jury made up of individuals, partisan democrats who voted for opposition either hillary clinton or joe biden, you and a form president or his serogates facing that jury, how in the hell do they get a fair trial? this whole thing is rigged, a disgrace. to so-called justice process in washington, d.c., why don't they hold it in utah? or idaho? or someplace like that. no, that would never happen. my point to you, is this, you keep hearing media types and legal analysts go on about what we learned. the fact of the matter circumstance what we learned is we have a rogue committee, a rogue u.s. attorney, a rogue attorney general, where information can sensors.

contrary witnesses are not permitted to publicly testify. because it destroys the narrative. and whole system is set up. to try to kill the republican party generally, maga specifically, and donald trump overall. that is what it's doing, that violates separation of power from this committee, and abuse of these criminal statutes should is not stand, we'll be right back.

♪ ♪ mark: welcome back america. joining me is former four-star general, you never lose the stars, david petraeus, general nice to have you for the first time on the program. i think there is a very important period in world history. i am concerned, not enough attention is being paid to what is going on with ukraine with the other domestic issues popping up. that are very important. >> 60 days or so ago, russia

lost the battles in kyiv, and the north, and refocused forces on east and south. since then it has ground out in a grinding offensive with enormous use of artillery rockets and missiles, direct fire of all-times, it has seized all of one of the oblas, they focused on. now it is refocusing to seize the rest of denets province, that is on going now, ukrainians are working very hard to observe the enormous quantity of weapons and ammunition and other military items it is a real race in terms of a war of attrition on the battle

field but also a forced generation competition, to see when side with kind replacement soldiers and replacement material and ammunition. ukranians are supported not just by arsenal of democracy the u.s. but arsenals of democracy, the nato nations and other western country, g-7 pledged to keep at this as long as it takes, their words, very important. the question can ukrainian absorb the massive quantity, can we decide to give them the additional weapon systems they have been asking for, more of the multiple launch rocket systems, some of the prodi predator drones that would be a real step up. and more of the switchblade loitering munitions, they could be game changers but i suspect they are struggling

to use all of what we've provided so far, you think about 126, 155 millimeter howitzers, they are heavy pieces with over 400 thousand rounds of 1. . >> that just from the united states and other country provide quantities as well. really i think it's coming down do that particular question, who can generate additional forces and military capabilities, the fastest. with russia struggling as well, they are not carrying out a true mobile naturalization, they did not declare war as was expected. and so he is going through a faux mobilization, they are expanding criteria for individuals who can be

brought into the military, all they can, those from the separatist regions in ukraine. even some off of the battle field in syria and military contractors, that is the state of play right now, we're watching to see when will we begin to see the kind of guerrilla activity in russian occupied areas that we've been anticipating, the sarge of an insurgency in the areas that russia has seized since the on set of the invasion in february, and when will we see from the ukrainian offenses in the south. mark: general petraeus, why is this important to united states and people of the united states? >> it is important to the world, what russia has done

is an invasion of a sovereign nation. unprovoked. its neighbor, the first such action in europe since the end of world war ii, flies in face of all of the international charters, u.n. convention and so forth. and the way it is doing it, is horrific as well. no concern for civilian casualties or for any kind of collateral damage. unconcerned about the destruction of the civilian industries, and infrastructure. they are really going after that in many represents. this is a horrific action by a member of the international community. and it has to be treated as such. to be fair, i think the current u.s. administration has done well in rallyings rest of the world against

russia in imposing very substantial economic and financial sanctions, sanctionies to putin's inner circle. all various export controls and so forth, but russia sent center central casting, the world needs what russia provides it needs russia's crude oil, and because of the elevated prices of brent crude, russia made 100 billion in the first 100 days of this war. also, exports natural gas and coals, other country need and will take despite the sanctions, then the foodstuffs we can anticipate second and third order implication of this, 35% of world wheat export come out of russia. there are a lot of against

implications for what is doing, they are very serious not just for u.s. and u.s. people but for the world as well. mark: when we return, i want to ask you about that. because if this area of the world is so important, i believe it is, i believe when you read what computer input -- put out his statement, 9,000 words last summer talking about ukraine is the first step, he is looking at eastern europe. if he cut through ukraine in a couple weeks like he hoped, he would probably be in eastern europe right now. that said, if russia takes over ukraine, it takes over the wheat and cornfields. it takes over the black sea forever. and so my question to you, were we a day late and a dollar short. is the reason that we didn't help up arm up ukranians early, you mentioned we're giving them a lot, they are not trained right,

i hear about long range missiles, the russians have them and ukranians don't. when we come back, i want to ask but those questions, we'll be right back. fasenra is an add-on treatment for asthma driven by eosinophils. it helps prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and lower use of oral steroids. 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. ask your doctor about fasenra.

jon: welcome to fox news live, i am jon scott in new york, president biden preparing to embark for

middle west this week, president to meet with king and crown prince of saudi arabia. mr. biden said he hopes to rekindle u.s. relations with the oil rich kingdom. but democrats and republicans are accusing white house of pandering to the saudis for their crude, while reducing amount of domestic oil production. >> a busy week on capitol hill. the house january 6 committee prepares to hold two more televised hears, members say we can expect startling new revelations. >> and i am jon scott, if you back to "life, liberty and levin." ♪ ♪ mark: welcome back, general david petraeus. in terms of preparing when russia was building up its

forces. i guess our intelligence picked up some information too as former head of cia you would know. and further more, in terms of the importance of this to the american people, while i do think our country has rallied nato in a good way, i don't think it rallied the american people at the leadership level. we have a lot of putin supporters here in different parties and media, i do not think we have properly articulated what it is at america's interest. i think it strongly in america's interest, what say you? >> i, agree. this is very much in our interest. it is in the interest of the western nations of the world. and i think the administration did a good job of turning and finishing intelligence products to publicly release

able information in weeks leading up to the invasion. you could argue that there are some things we could have done earlier, i might make that argument. but the truth, until the invasion took place, it was really hard to rally all of our european partners, also uncertain as to whether or not the ukranians would truly fight, one never doesn't, you could hear from that them, i visited ukraine not long after president zelenskyy was elected. it was clear to me their military made great strides, and when they did show they would fight the way they have. with resourcefulness and creativity, u.s. and others have poured

on resources, there are items i would like to see us accelerate get to them more rapidly, but by and large, avalanche of weapons and ammunition that has poured into that country, has been extraordinary it unprecedented. the key is keeping this together, it will get tougher, there are fragile governments in europe, natural gas prices have skyrocketed, electricity costs will follow that. more challenging in terms of gasoline prices and inflation, and economies will slowdown and so forth. all of this can be anticipated. the challenge will be to keep the coalition together, keep the alliance stedfast in pushing back and supporting ukraine in every way we come we have to be in this now, i think as america on not a sprint, this could continue through the summer,

and into the fall and winter. it is in everyone's interest to try to stop the russians as quickly as is possible, to deny them any further tactical gains on the battlefield and support the ukrainian counter offensive that should begin in the south, and to help them in every way possible to succeed in this to take back some of the territory at least that russians have se -- seized from them since february invasion. mark: china. we have the reports now from fbi and with joints warnings on chinese spying, it has gotten worse. china is very expansive,

making threats to u.s. not never before, threatening japan and the philippines and vietnams, it seems to me it is on a path to war. >> we have to ensure that it is not on path to a war. we have to ensure that the elements of deterrents are present, it is two fold. the perception of your capabilities and willingness to employee those capabilities. that implies a lot of work to be done in the indopacific theater. and also the work to be done to ensure that there are no questions whatsoever about what we would do in certain circumstances contingencies deterrent is key, we are what national security adviser described

as a severe competition. we have to act accordingly. >> are we? >> i think in large measure we are, an area where there is bipartisan commitment in washington. and beyond, is on the issue of being firmer with china, this started in toward end of obama administration, and trump administration changed the confer -- conversation, this administration has carried that forward. mark: if china invades taiwan, and we do not react in an aggressive fashion, or china invades a one and we do act in -- invades taiwan, either way to lead to a military confrontation.

>> that is why there has to be deterrents. the elements presence that convince official adversary to not take the fatal steps, i would think that the experience in ukraine, is a cautionary tale for china, they are seeing the challenges. where people have rejected the invaders, everyone is pushing back, everyone is contributing. i think that presents about what i would hope would be against a cautionary tale for anything thinking about invading another country. mark: general. i want to thank you, my take on this, just as a pedestrian, and hang around a while, is that the american people are not ready for this. the leadership, either party has not readied american

people for potential. congress is diddling around with other things, and we have generals and admirals giving us warnings, we need to muscle up weaker as we have. i am concerned that we're not doing enough. i want to thank you general petraeus for your service. and i want to thank you for coming on the program. god bless you, sir. >> good to be with you mark, we look forward to the largest defense budget in the history this year. >> that is a good thing. we'll be right back. ♪ um, she's eating the rocket. ♪

mark: welcome back america, bill melugin a great

journalist, one of the hardest working journalists that i've seen, one of the few on southern border takes note of what is taking place, bill melugin, my sense is anarchy. that we have open borders, yet border patrol and i.c.e. are working their asses off to try to control the situation, they are overwhelmed, drug cartel controls much of the border, fentanyl coming in produced by the communist chinese, pushed by drug cartels, we don't know who is coming in ms-13. sexual predators, we have young women stating they bring morning-after pills because ofs expected they will be raped. i don't understand bill melugin is the lack of urgency. or focus by the biden administration at the top level. you see any of that down

there on the border? >> we don't. quite the opposite. we hear dhs secretary insisting they have quote operational control of the border, we hear white house claim that the border is closed. it is not, i can tell you, rewinded clock to last we're border crisis kicked up in spring of 2021, the president said it was a seasonal sort of thing, it was not the case then not case now, last year we had highest record level of crosses in hottest months of july and august, we're in jewel -- julie of julie -- july of 2022. the numbers keep shooting up, this week a group of 500

migrants cross illegally, right in front of us here in eagle pass, the biggest, single group that we've witnessed during our coverage of border crisis, the claims from the administration do not square up with reality of what we've seens on the ground here for over a year now. >> you are on the border, do we have any idea where these people are going? talking about hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people. we conditions have any idea where they are go doing we? >> no, they are going all over, released to different cities some, to ngo's then airports, and fly to linkup with family, federal government does not even know where some of them are, last year they released migrant with a ntr, a notice to report, just a a request. we're releasing you but please return. they stopped doing that program they lost track of

47 thousand migrants who never showed up or never checked in with i.c.e., they don't know where they are, they deprioritized when i.c.e. does. they changed the priorities they want them only after national security threats or aggravated felons, no more work site raid enforcement. someone is not showing up for court or disappearing they don't have as many i.c.e. officials going after this. we get asked, that. we talk with a lot of migrants here, they are going all over. many are linking up with family in different states we hear a lot of, miami, los angeles, new york, we talked with cuban guys a few months back, they

are going to nebraska. legally able to get on airplanes, you are right, many hundreds of thousands of migrants have been released into the interior of the u.s., u.s. government last track of some, others are with families, living in other states, either waiting for a court date, or they have been released via practice parole. >> they are coming from all corners of the earth. not just central and south america, but the caribbean, it is pacific areas, the middle east. >> all over the world, more than 130 different country, administration tried too focus on root causes, in northern try agent countries, there have been people crossing from china, from brazil, and india and russia, country here's in del rios sector, never heard

of before. i had to google them. countries really from the world. administration focusing on 3 country, here, the 3 are not cross hiring a lot, had is venezuelans and cubans, and just focus on 3 country out much more than a hundred is not having much of an impact. they tell them it's too dangerous, don't show up, it is not changes anything. mark: the root cause is not complicated here, is sitting in the oval office, his name is joe biden, we'll be rights back.

based on race, origin. receiving federal think if assistance there is a ruse too cripple the state of texas from securing its border. reporter: i can tell you we have embedded with texas dps, and never seen anything of the sort with those allegations, they go after people wearing cap -- cam. we've seen home rescues lives, saving people, look at evans he died jumping into the waters, trying to save lives of migrants crossing. and he died in a car crash

trying. i can't speak for everything on the border every where, from when we've seen, never seen any of those allegations play out, we see trooper and national guard soldiers working hard under hard conditions to apprehend people who don't want to be caught, for those turning themselves in, helping them out, giving them water and medical attention, jumping in water to save their lives, we'll see what happens with that investigation. that is not something we have seen on the ground here? texas over last year. mark: i bet you haven't seen any individuals in civil right division of main justice department in dc on border for any reason. let alone voluntarily helping these people, you have tens of thousands of children, many of color, tens of thousands of women, many of color, and men, aus abused by the

cartels, raped and treated in horrific ways, you would think that civil right division of department of justice, if was true to its calling would be talking to president of united states, secretary of dhs and others, who have cause in the mayhem to occur. let me ask you bill melugin, do we know how many people have died on the border or near the border since joe biden has been president? yes or no? >> we don't have an exact number, i know that fox's jenkins a number from dhs, i believe that was 550 this year. i don't know the 2021 numbers. we know that numbers are the highest they have been. mark: to we know how many women have been raped. >> we don't, but a horrific story last we're, we were in la jolla, texas, we came

across, a law enforcement scene, migrants on the ground, police, and an ambulance, we got to shoot video border patrol asked us to to stay back, they seemed more flustered, we saw two little girls on ground. and we later found out, they were treated by an emt, they were 5 or 6-year-olds each, both raped by a cartel coyote or a smuggler it was horrific. mark: bill melugin thank you so much, i appreciate your work. mark: we'll be right back. ...free your gut. and your mood will follow.
