♪ ♪ mark: hello america, i am mark levin, this is "life, liberty and levin." thank you for joining us. we have two great guests. ben dom niche and colonel richard kemp. before we get to our guests, what is the authority granted by the constitution to congress? why does that matter?

it is specific we have article 1 there a long list of powers, the longest article in the constitution it very specific. a long list. you it study it you will not find the power to conduct a criminal investigation. it violates separation of powers. congress is made up of politicians. congress was never set up to conduct criminal investigations any of sort or criminal investigations as part of a justice department, u.s. attorney's

effort, to target an individual or group of individuals. so beyond the outrageous make-up of january 6 committees, entire enterprise of the january 6 committee is unconstitutional. in is not a single judge in washington, d.c. not one, who has reached that conclusion. yet this goes to the heart of our constitutional construct. you can't have joe biden making legislation by executive orders or congress investigating not for legislative purposes but criminal purposes and to set up individuals and violate the bill of rights, you cannot have the courts legislating executing, it becomes a mess, that is what the lift wants. -- what the left wants, what nancy pelosi wants, they do

not believe in our constitutional, construct. they want to control it all. they want to destroy the supreme court and pack it with like mind they use executive orders like someone handing out legislation, that is why they use congress as a criminal investigation body, this is really appalling if we intend to keep our republic it needs to be called out. all legal analysts, say there and play the same game. former this and former, that they get to the weeds about a hearing, what did we learn in we learned that hearing is illegitimate.

not only because of all of the reasons that i talked about in the past. but because congress is not such owessed to be doing this -- supposed to be doing this all these interviews and transcripts will be turned over to be used against these individuals. it would be different if an on going criminal investigation,u attorney office asked these individuals to pro depositions their lawyers would tell home them no. you could tell by latest hearing the eighth hearing, primetime hearing that the media salivate over and clobber over, what a joke

this is, they try to humiliate sincer to holly, not about january 6, the main went about january 6, nancy pelosi, has been immunized by the committee, members of whom she appointed and had to approve. you can look yourself, article 1 provides no such authority, none to the congress of the united states, everything they are doing, which is openly and affirmatively criminal in nature is a violation of separation of powers that goes back. you can see in federalist papers, framers of the constitution mention it. when you get the phony republicans like cheney waving the constitution, they are not waving our constitution, perhaps the 1934 soviet constitution, but it is not ours. let's get into the hearings again. what is going on?

this last hearing, 187 minutes before donald trump issued a video. they had a grand old-time at that hearing, laughing it up, they thought it was so cool, to embarrass the former president and embarrass senator hawley, did you find that convincing? serious? or substantive? i can only imagine everyone one of these represent -- -- on the committee, if we could access their iphones we would find sleaze all over the place, most are not daniel webster. they are not thomas jefferson. they are not mr. smith goes on washington, what did we learn? 8 hearings, public, we learned nothing. nothing. nothing we didn't already

know. there little things here and there you know, that is not correct. these hearings confirmed, ready? that donald trump had no direct role in the january 6 violence in the capitol building, none. how do we know that? >> they have not presented any. they had videos. they had texts, they have graphics, and exmails, and documents, and witnesses. you remember one sentence where donald trump directed or ordered or encouraged a violent attack? not opinion. not -- or actual fact? no. what happened here, despite 1,000 witnesses sic colludes nancy pelosi,

thousands of documents they found nothing. zero. and it is really quite remarkable. they talk about this 187 minutes. if we were leading an insurrection, the video would not have been the video he released, would it? telling supporter and others to stand down. 187 minutes that 3 hours, 9 minutes, big deal, you have members of that committee not issued statements condemning the plot to assassinate associate justice to the supreme court brent kavanaugh. more than 187 minutes, we're on two years now. let's not play games with this stuff. if donald trump were

seriously interested in an insurrection he would have issued a video, this would not have said what it said it would have been a call to arms. right? leading an insurrection. he would have called everyone who could hear his voice to come to the capitol armed. armed. to take over the capitol building. he would have called out the u.s. military, whether they would respond or not, to come to the capitol building and circle it, arrest the vice president. and arrest other officials and members of congress, that is an insurrection. he would have declared martial law. that is an insurrection. he didn't do that. as a matter of fact he didn't do any of the things people told him he might want to do in order to quote, unquote, hold on to

presidency. he didn't send out the department of homeland security to get drop boxes or fire acting attorney general, has some suggests, he did not appoint a special counsel as some suggested. he didn't do any of that. he would have done it, if he were actually leading an insurrection, we wouldn't beholding 8 hearings it would be obvious to everyone. we get former disgruntle illed administration employees and people giving their opinions and infrances, one sided this comity had all power to do what they want, they have no fingerprints ordain -- dna nothing of donald trump on january 6 violence, but they keep talking insurrection, insurrection. what are they talking about?

the 14 amendment. this committee basically is the point of the spear front operation for attorney general of u.s. and u.s. attorney are politically partisan and corrupt in that sense, they dropped case against the 9 and furious chief of capitol police has responded to that. while they throw a 69-year-old grandmother who is receiving cancer treatment for 60 days, they have done this to a lot of people for trespasses and parading, i wonder how many antifa people have been charged for trespasses and parading? they hope that donald trump will be indicted, their surrogates are out there andrew vice man, he is telling them they are not pushing hard enough to get donald trump. it should be top down.

get trump. get him. get him. they are obsessed with trump. they don't want go investigations of biden the manchurian president and all money he got and his family got the biden criminal crime family from the foreign entities. no, no. no person shall be a senator or representative in congress or elect or of president or vice president or hold any office civil or military who previously taken an oath. engaged in in insur or rebellion against the same, they keep uses that word insurrection, they keep trying to create a national impression that donald trump was involved in an

insurrection, it is circled on your calendar january 6 as it insurrection day. every host, over phone professor, every foreigner y lawyer -- phony lawyer. why? they want donald trump indicted but just in case a put together a report to accuse trump of leading an insurrection, then claiming he cannot serve in presidency as a result. they don't care. they are reckless. like their two impeachments. i'm not a special pleader for anyone, i am a special pleader for the constitution

of the united states, i don't go along with the mob, the mob is in control right now in the name of democrat party. they control almost every single news platform, and college and university they control the narrative. i'm not going along with it. what this committee is doing and attorney general and media are doing are t repugnant to our republic, i'll be right back. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein. when pain says, “it's time to go home” “i say, “not yet”. ♪ ♪ aleve. who do you take it for?

mark: welcome back america, i am mere with ben domenech . i. to ask you a question. you look at the democrat party, what they have done to the economy. their answer is to do more of the same, borrow and spend. they destroyed the border. you have horrendous things going on there. you look at what they have done to women's sports or women generally. what is go oning on with energy industry and our classrooms and law

enforcement. how do they have even 30% of support of the american people, what their purpose. >> thank you for your kind words. i think in larger scheme of things we have to understand that this coalition that democrats have represented over the years, really started to fall apart when they started to lean so much more heavily and honestly, i feel into the culture war issues as they have done over last several decades. ? 1990s in democrats cutting deals with republican majority under newt gingrich, you see a lot of people whose views, would really place them within the coalition of the right today. even if they would be conservative democrats, handful that still exist like joe manchin, those people have been run out of

the left low gig coalition, it happened, in large part because of their rejection of a number of things which have been so much at center of american life. mostly of religion. the fact that democratic party today is at odds with so many religious believers across the nation, something that they don't have a problem with almost like they are invested in america becoming a less judeo-christian country they just assumed it would happen, they continue to be frustrated when they run into problems like hispanic voters still having religious beliefs and affecting their beliefs on culture war issues, when it comes to saying boys can be girls and questions about abortion on demand or not going along can democratic agenda when it comes to suing the little

sisters of the poor. another thing is that they have rejected the portion of their coalition that was always dedicated to the idea of disagreement and free speech someone that was valuable. you think of secularists like bill maher, not really anyway. they have the same views that your average aclu donor did in 1990s but aclu of today is about trans agenda, enforcement of all sorts of author tearian norm when prevents free speech in the like, a break from the agenda of the past, that lead homes to try to cancel those whom they disagree work can we saw effort of canceling dave chappelle again, because of the jokes

me makes and the way we talk about family and society, so rapidly in course of service. markist agenda, the fact he takes issue with that makes fun of it, so infuriating to them, they seek to cancel him. to prevent him a black comedian, a prominent one from dc. from being able to speak out, he has the ability, he is wealthy and has such a popular presence and fan base, to push back. but most people don't. and the left knows that. they don't -- just want to have people who are at top of the list of cultural influencers kowtow to them, they want to put fear in americans they will not be able to express them selfs and go along with the radical leftist agenda, one of the big things that democratic party is about today is that level of leftist authoritarianism, seeking to shut down anyone

that takes opposition to them, they believe the arc of history favors there, they are our more betters, we that a new linl . >> people who stake issue with them, and understand, the crisis they represent, for our country, they are ones who are not going to be easily moved, not just on the right, they political independences and others that a big part of reason that democrat lost the not. they are doing these things to try to hold on to power. almost a last gaffe for boomer lefties, that's are infuriated that some

americans don't want have go that way. mark: democrat party does not play inside of the constitutional borders. to push the cultural radicalism they have a problem with the constitution, they use it when they think it will happen them. they intend to destroy it, even the bill of rights, those who wrote it. what they are doing to the homes of jefferson, and madison, undermining our history. embracing career critical race theory. the question for you when we return, is the democrat party a party for good or a kamikaze operation against our republic? we'll be right back.

>> welcome to fox news live, i'm jon scott, a busy week for president biden and his economic advisers, president and his team will analyze fresh economic data, first gross domestic product report, most economists forecast dismal numbers. >> a wildfire near

yosemite national park, thousands of nearby residents forced to evacuate, fire consumed 22 miles of forest land. i am jon scott, now back to "life, liberty and levin." mark: welcome back, ben domenech . the democrat party, kamikaze party? >> they are. one big thing we should understand, from perspective of left today they don't just want to tear down slave holders or confederate generals and the like. people who said they would stop there always tells us a lie, reason they need to go after the founding to such a

degree, turn mine the founding as we have understood it commonly as americans, for the vast majority of history. they want to establish themselves as the new people on those pillars, to be able to say, your new ideal is me, look to me for your guidance, a perfect example as my colleague said, doug murree in his books -- a radical leftist, he had projects approved back to millions of dollars by people like former head of twitter jack dors to make an argument to america to the highest level of people through higher education and corporate america we need to

reject these this american capital system, is something that must be destroyed. and replaced with a marxist system in which the decisions about who gets what are made by him, literally by him, and people like him. expert class in keeping with the progressivism of woodrow wilson and the like that distributes across america and the world, everything that we have in terms of property, that we earn in terms of bread. they also want to take over the minds of the young of people who are rising through the public school systems. it is a myth to say this is a battle happening just now, the pandemic revealed to a lot of parents that has been going on for a

while now. if you are going to stand up on a pedestal and say i must worship me, you must eradicate everything that says, from the enlightenment values, through judeo-christian faith, you have merged something that made american exceptional as a nation, freedom, liberty and individual rights of people that came out of the christian faith and out of the judeo-christian understanding of our relationship with the almighty formed in a new way by our founders who took lessons of those principles and applied them through your declaration and constitution and bill of rights, they have chartered

a path forward for us and allowed us to succeed. the left today is dedicated to their destruction, they understand what a danger they represent to this radical leftist agenda and marxist way that i want to remake our country and the world. mark: well put, democrat party is the vessel through which they are operating now. seems to me. that is this party stands for all of these different forces and elements, there nothing too extreme, or insane we have a president nominated someone to supreme court who would not define what she is. they celebrate her as first black woman, then they won't -- she won't define what a woman is, you have to embrace a reality that is not a reality, and embrace their beliefs as reality, right? >> mm-hmm. you know, i had incident to

rewatch classic culture war speech, by buchanan in 1992. he talks in the speech early, about how the democrats in their convention that year, were engaged in a cross-dresses act, pretending to not be the radical leftists, they bill clinton those around him who were running in that year, were pretending to be something they were not. this is the difference between then and now. they stopped pretending, they stopped pretending to be you know a pro-american party, one that you know honored the flag, respected the bible. supported cops and firemen and military. they started to be honest about what they really believe. they believe that children belong to them. not to the family. and that all of these things

node need to be eradicated, democratic party right now a coalition that i think shrinking it will go through a wilderness period and be dangerous in a lot ways. they need to be prepared for how radical the left will be when they respond to losing when voters turn away from the radicalism from your agenda. mark: from your mouth to god's ears, ben domenech thank you for all you do, god bless. >> you thank you, so, much, sir. mark: we'll be right back. y gotk in their windshield.

mark: welcome back america. retired colonel richard kemp. an old friend of ours, a friend of the program, a

brilliant man. he is in tel aviv right now, which actually, is helpful. i want to ask but iran. situation with iran. appears that united states has given up to trying to do anything about the nuclear weapons. what are your thoughts? >> the united states and its european friends and others have been working on this iran nuclear deal since the biden administration took office. without any success. they have been trying to appease iran. to give iran everything it wants to avoid taking action against iran in hope that iran will come to the table again and take up against the nuclear deal that

president trump quite rightly scrapped it gave iran a path to nuclear weapon, meanwhile iran has been playing very hard to get, imposing new conditions each time that been negotiations on it, they have been ver reluck reluctant to come to an agreement. meanwhile, u.s. and allies have just been giving and giving, and expecting somehow for the iranians to come to an accommodation, they will not. , they are been working hard, they have created enough uranium to create a bomb, they are still working on turning and nuclear bomb to a proper warhead to be delivered to its target,

most likely where i am sitting here now in tel aviv or somewhere else in israel. because of american appease ment of iran that left israel to deal with the situation on its own, israel has been doe showing allegedly, we have seen the deaths of many nuclear scientists, people involved in the nuclear programs and sabotage operations and cyberattacks served to slowdown the iranian nuclear program and damage tomorrow, it is israel on its own, israel should not be acting on its own but with allies, allies should be supporting israel. i think that actions that israel has been taking so far will not be at way to deal with it evenly, there will be a time -- where iran has the ability to deliver it israel

will have to take stronger military action in terms of airstrike, special special forces operation and degrade the program so it cannot be used to attack israel. we hear the ayatollah saying they want to destroy the jewish state we must believe it and accept it if they have the nuclear weapon they will not only have desire but also the capability to do it. mark: you have russia, trying to more aggressively get into the region, build an alliance with iran and turkey, china with an agreement now of military sort with iran. iran selling oil to china biden dropped almost all sanctions, now money is used to build up nuclear power

and other armed forces. let me ask you, i think israel unfortunately is probably going to have to do go it alone, can israel do it? >> i think they do need assistant from u.s. in terms of capability of military. israel has received a lot of assistance from the u.s., but i think i believe, that israel does have capability now of putting together an operation that will significantly degrade the iranian nuclear capability. i ice that term rather than destroy. once you have the technology, you have the know-how, even if it gets hits you can rebuild it. stopping the program, is not something that is possible to do without changing the regime that would be highly desirable. but i think israel has the military capability to carry

out significant damage against the iranian nuke nuclear capability, but that will not come out cost to israel there are about 200,000 iranian provide missiles sitting in southern lebanon with hezbollah supplies by iran, exists and pointed at israel right now, to carry out an attack if israel does attack, israel will be fighting on at least two fronts. attacks iran, and defending themselves from darks in lebanon and also from missile attack from gaza and other internal attacks. as we saw in last year conflict, it will be a tough situation for israel. it does nidal , allieses like u.s., i would like to see if israel has to carry out defensive airstrikes

against lebanon, i would like too see royal air force fly alongside them, i won't, but it should, the threat from iran is not just a threat to israel, it is a big threat to israel and other countries it region but also a very big threat to the world, the world should stand behind and help israel to defend itself and themselves. we see, just, appeasement of iran. unwilling to take steps has to take to make the world's more secure place. mark: i want to ask you about russia and ukraine, how you think that war is going. we'll be right back. t"

miralax is different. it works naturally with the water in your body to unblock your gut. ...free your gut. and your mood will follow.

seen this ad? it's not paid for by california tribes. it's paid for by the out of state gambling corporations that wrote prop 27. it doesn't tell you 90% of the profits go to the out of state corporations. a tiny share goes to the homeless, and even less to tribes. and a big loophole says, costs to promote betting reduce money for the tribes, so they get less. hidden agendas. fine print. loopholes. prop 27. they didn't write it for the tribes or the homeless. they wrote it for themselves.

mark: welcome back. colonel kemp. you provide a lot of advice to your government. to other governments. you are a highly sought out

expert, you look at what is going on in ukraine, i get mixed reports. what is your take on where we are. >> the reality we've been diluting ourselves, ukraine is not winning this war, they have great success and the ukrainian army it has been fighting but russia has a huge amount of power they have been using it it to a huge effect in eastern ukraine. they have been winning, not easily but they have been winning convincingly, particularly with -- artillery to hammer the hell out of the ukrainian army. they will do a great amount of damage to ukraine and the west as well, u.s. i'm afraid to say has been weak.

it comes to leadership, i think reason that president putin decided to invade ukraine when he did, as a result of president biden's weakness in afghanistan. that is what we see, we see everywhere we look, his most recent trip to most, returned. weakness there. we see -- i have some advice for joe biden, he should go and take some training from a group i have been working with here in israel. in last few weeks, called club zed, a group a fantastic group of young jewish americans they have been here working against or standing against the, seasoned anti-israel campaigners, giving back we don't see that in joe biden. we need to see that, that is what it comes down, to strength to stand up with our allies like israel, and

ukraine, and other middle eastern country, we see weakness and appeasement at of turn, i hate to say, i hope we find more steel, then let's hope we can survive in some form until the next administration, i hope will provide steel to the with really difficult global challenges, we have not even started to speak about china. mark: we don't have time either, that is your number one enemy. to the ukraine and russia issue. they praise joe biden's affords, i keep saying he had is a day late and a dollar short. not giving then the equipment they need, they are not allowed to actually attack within russia, i am not saying march to moscow,

if you have a russian forces, amassed on bored or their side of the border, you are not allowed to hit them? it is like the colonist fighting british, no offense at beginning of revolutionary war, some tactics are old they will not work, how about let them use tactics that will work. >> there should be no restraint with this conflict apart from adhering to laws of war. there should be no restraint by u.s., united kingdom and other nato country in providing ukraine everything it needs it needs a great deal more, we need too step upped to the mark do all we can to damage russia. and to help ukraine to at least push russia back as far as it can. mark: colonel richaard kemp,

thank you for your past heroic service. and thank you for coming on the program, god bless. >> you thank you. mark: we'll be right back. feel the rush of performance at the lexus golden opportunity sales event. 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 america, i wrote "american marxism." marxism. i had two ideas for a book, that one and another book. a different book. a book on the two front war that we the people face. that is the foreign powers lead by communist china which seek to destroy us and the domestic forces that seek to destroy us, lets there be no doubt, both exist, china is a very dangerous enemy. but the biggest problem is the enemy from within. jefferson, lincoln, others, many others have said if the

united states is to fall it will fall because of what takes place from within. you are seeing it around you. tonight. we must stand strong, we must stand for our country and our god, see you next time on "life, liberty and levin." >> good evening everyone welcome to the next revolution. everyone knows fighting cannot possibly the cancer will making 72
