democrats, okay. i want toon honor those who did work and make this country great. that do believe in the capitalist system and american system. you are the ones we celebrate today. you are the ones i celebrate in today's special show. celebrate we have great guests that we have seen throughout the yea you will love this we start with pete hegseth. one of my favorite people in the world, a great patriot, a smart and nda tighter, honor, you have written a book that is so greatly important. i don't know how you timed it. battle for the american mind uprooting a century of miseducation. applies to everything today. if the radical left has control of education, can-12, and brain wash our

children. it over. why did yo au write this book. >> i don't want if to be over, like you. i realize only an educateli thzee populous is a free populous, that is what our founders understand and unand th you know and the left knows, you wrote a book, "american marxism." what we hope this book is, "american marxism" for the the classroom k-12, highw how the lunacy you see,r genesjen. >> it did not pop up out of no. it is a gradual takeover of the minds of o our kids,

you see it in lunacy, you might think this is just from the 60s and or radical teacher union or common core or barack obama, no this is an over 100 year progressiverd project. you know due dewey andve willard, the straighntt he line from critical theory to antifa. made their ways into firstth the classroom, and curriculum but now our streets, breeding a new class of r radical liftist activists coming out of not justju universities but high schools, middle schools and elementary schools, with this book, i want parentsep anthd grandparents to know the depth of the problem to be a

part of solution and reorient highw how they educate their kids first and address the larger system. mark: i spend a lot of timess studying t this, yet i learned a lot in your book, it exposes the under belly of what has been taking places in the classroom. i would encouraging parents and grandparents and ern who cares about future of the nation to grab a copy off battle t for the american mind. we were talking before the program of the closing ofme the american mind by allene p bloom, he focused on collecelectoral college -- colleges andated universities. it ihrous my hope that battle for the american mind, the s on public school system on what goes on in class rooms and how we go the to where we are.ot -- got t to where we are thatwe this resonates as well.

it is important when people i show up on school board meetings they have this under their arm. it is very important. y as you point out.ve therre say reason they push critical race theory. a reason they are attacking the nuclear family, they don't want parents involved. you say this started a t hundred years ago or so, which is true, what was the goale o if john dewey and the other so-called early a progressivesnd?d >> e a reversal of western christian tradition, they massed turn idea of more vovocational training,itis you needed to train them for a an industrial economy, a to future economy. althat is how they spun it. in reality. every name listed in the

book, they are athiests, socialists and marxists, if they wanted radical humanist change, a future utopia of w what in haa call equality, now they say equity, the crumbling of capitalist system and western style a republic they had to undermine free thinks and replace key ingredients, that is god. it -- they knew that parents would have revolvolted inha early 20tht century, they took god off and theyac replaced it,t with something that looked just like it. and what they replaced it work this is shocking for people who revere our flag,th an ad country, they replace it with patriotism and the flag i put in a new pledge ofe r allegiance that did not

include under god.n they created a brand-new network of schools, one thed gary b plan, in gary, indiana, which removed god. i fast forwardn 80 years, their pipeline of progressive and marxist thinking goes they never ca cared about are patriotism and happy to get rid of it it, it is incremental steps for the athiest change toward humanist and secularism, goes back to theo marxis tt battle. that done work in class, wor with class, they moved into race. and gender and more cultural issues. willard was a socialist feminist who wanted to get rid of alcohol, she put in anti-aaa alcohol

al . >> in third grade classrooms, there was a ban,si and thes from roomve is most powerful tool we have.e they started to create new schools, that could do those types of things, they wrote about it in the new republic, i wrote this bookou withld david goodwin. big part of research was looking at new republic what john dewey and other athiest progressives were talking about, they openly talkca abount how importantpr education was toward theirin goal.g they hady t to remove god, they had to remove the freethinking aspect, they believe it is the same condescending view our leadsendi have today, average people, don't need to think about philosophy or politics or

economics, just give them a skill, tell them what to think, make them go away, thos ae people become easier to control, idea of a liberal art, a liberated mind, that is what they wanted to get rid of. >> the book, battle for the american mind. at amazon.com or any major bookstore. >> up next, former secretary of state mike pompeo to two important issues, threat of communist china and don the dobb's decision, we'll be right back.

mark: welcome back to special episode of "life, liberty and levin." few months back i asked former secretary of state mike pompeo by 2 have important issues, how the u.s. is handling the threat of communist china and supreme court decision over turning roe v. wade. >> grade great to have mike pompeo with us. even though he is boxed in on many people's minds has a breath of knowledge with domestic policy and the law.

i would be remiss if i didn't ask you, what do youic pmake of this supreme court did decision in the dobbs case? >> it is a good decision. a good decision because it is deeply grounded in the constitution.me in america c founding anded history, a lovely thing it will protect more human lives and return the debate to the states. where it was for 200 years. we should be proud of that decision today. the court got it right, i hope that everyone that is talking about the constitution and making sureght that liberty and democracy stand recognize the decision did that, p putting the power back in the states. mark: how often have you seen an institution say we don't have power? we don't have the authority h giveav it back to the people? i have never seen it before.

>> it -- if it happened before, we'll have to look hard. only thing i have seen this kind of like that a sad example, i saw members of coming say they didn't have power, they actually hadmemb they didn't want to take the responsibility for their action. they got their institutional power right and honored ourth founders and ouris nation. and we'll give opportunity for those of us who believe each one of these babies is precious a chance to makeme th te case to american people. mark: secretary pompeo, my contention, i might be wrong, i wrote's piece china and economic security under the shadow of ukraine. it is broader than that. how they are building up their military and we're flat lining, my concern is china is preparing for warry w and we're preparing for nothing.

what do you make? >> yes, i think that is i trues .ng some. sense some places i think it worse than that, we're moving wards -- backwards. we put climate change at topf th of our interest instead ofrity what we did for 4 years, protecting u.s. of america without resorting to use of our military power, in a wayprot that was done 20 years and 30 m yearsil before that. we got deterrents right from peace through strength. how we took down soph soviet i don't know, that is an historithc precedent that america has walked away from under republicans and democrats alike. republicans too prepared toond send 82 airborne to hard places instead of using realusin power of america. the threat of chinese communist party is greater than that of soviet union,is e fight in ukraine isht

connected to that and our economic interest.ep if you arely a machine shop worker in wichita, kansas, you sit in des moines or m manchester, they impact you. we have to get it right.t to protect our nation and make sure that we have the opportunity to continue to beect prosperous. >> mr. secretary, we have a president who doesn't rally y the nation. that doesn'tea work withesn' congress to build up our military, congress on its own is trying. you with see china is on the move. unless you are an ostrich. whether it is west africa or the panama canal, southma china sea. they have really an iron fist on right now, preparing to invade taiwan, they destroyed hong kong. putting a lot of resourcesthey into a lot of countries to

take their ports if they can. they are threatening the the philippines and vietnam. what is it about this administration, are theyhat really that stupid. >> president biden talk about pivoting to asia did nothing, this president said we're back, they are back to fecklessness when it comes to challenging chinese communist party, i think onmm this, there arune three things, a president who is unwilling to use the power that america has, our economic might to protect the things that matter, you ripped through a list of things across the world,cros that is all true. don't forget des ma m -- decimation inb inflicted on world because of the c wuhan virus.

i think in part because ofse chima climate change who put it top pro door -- prpriority.bi the climate gudey was sent to beijing to tell them this iss wh what america demands. i think they are big institution in u.s. of america, a lot of greedy companies making a lot ofdy money working alongside chinese communist party whether it is hollywood or our technology companies ors, financia fl institutions, that is detr detrimental to the people of u.s., and biden administration is allowing them to do that. >> maybe i'm getting too old, i remember when corporations were patriotic. i remember a day when athletes would leave their

positions on a team too join the u.s. military. today they trash the country. they make a fortune with our the enemy, china whether is is sneakers or jerseys, same with corporations like apple and coca-cola. mark: when we return, ben domenech and i will explore the havoc that the democrat party is in our country. heyyy!

>> welcome to fox news live, i am jon scott, from new york words out of canada of a mass stabbing attack claimed at least 10 lives, and killers on the loose, they happen, across 13 locations in s these are men looking for, 15 other people were hurt. some of them were targeted by the killers, others randomly attacked, prime

minister calls the stabbings heartbreaking and horrific. >> search for a missing mother and teacher from mississippi continues, she was be abducted friday morning during a routine jog. >> i am john jon scott, back to "life, liberty and levin" special. mark: welcome back in. we're celebrating labor day. taxpayer day. with look back at some of our patriotic guests who never stop working to help america be the best it can be. we hope you are enjoying our show, democrat policies are creating a domino effect of destruction. how have they botched economy, border and classrooms?

ben domenech has the answer. mark: i am here with ben domenech, the smartest guy i know how the a tv show. you are editor at large of the spectator. you are smart, you look at democrat party, look what they have done to the economy, their answer is to did more of the same. -- do more of the statement, they destroyed the border. the inhumanity there and what they have been to women sports or women generally. you look at what is going on with energy industry, they are trying to destroy look at the classrooms, and with law enforcement. how do they have 30% of the support of the american people. what is the purpose of the democrat party? >> first, thank you for your kind words. i think in larger scheme we

have to understand that this coalition that democrats have represented over the years really started to fall apart whe when they leaned so much more hopely h heavily and ho honestly. you look back at democrats in 1990s cutting deal with republican party under newt gingrich, you see a lot of people whose views on host of issues you mentioned would really place them within the coalition of the right today. even if they would be conservative democrats, handful that still exist, those people have been run out of the left coalition. it happened in front of us over the past few decade because of their rejection of a number of things that have been so much at center of american life, mostly

religion, democratic party today, really is at odds with so many religious believers, that something we don't seem to have a problem work 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 problem, like hispanic voters still having religious beliefs. affect -- saying that boys can be girls and having questions about abortion. or really not going along with the democratic agenda with suing the little sisters of the poor or trying to force businesses that are lead by christians to kowtow to their liberal leftist idea ol. >> i. ideology. and rejected the portion of their coalition that was dedicated to disagreement and free speech that was valuable, hung of

secularists like bi like bill maher are not people of right but they have same views that average achu donor did in 1990s, the aclu did is about trans agenda and enforcement of norms when it comes to preventing speech it say break with the agenda they used to have in the past. it is one that leads them to try to cancel those who they disagree with. we saw this week, fo aeffort to cancel dave chapel, he is a liberal, but because he offends people with his jokes about trans agenda and way that you know we changed the way we talk about family and society, so rapidly in co course of service to the radical leftist agenda, the fact he takes issue with that, and makes fun of it. is so infuriating to them,

they seek to cancel him. to prevent him, a prominent black comedian from dc from being a able it speak out, he has the ability because he is popular and wealthty i, but most people don't and the left knows that. they want to put fear into americans across the nation, they won't be able to express themselves they will go with the leftist agenda. i think one big thing that democrat party is about today is that level of leftest authoritarian, seeking to shut down anyone who is in opposition. they believe they are our moral betters they have a new religion we have to bow to, but america is still america, americans don't get

along with people telling them, ordering them, what to do. that contingent of americans who stand up, those who take issue with them and understand the crisis they represent for the country, they are ones who will not be easily moved, not just on the right, they are across the country. i think that is a big party of the reason -- part of reason that democrats lost the not, they are doing all these things desperately, trying to hold to power use bev tbefore they get pushed on u almost a last grasp. >> i would say that best synopsis i heard in a long time. when we come back. ben domenech, democrat party does not play inside of the constitutional borders, to push its cultural radicalism, they have a problem with the

constitution. they use it when they think it will help them, by intend to destroy it, even the bill of rights, those who wrote it, what they are doing to homes of jefferson and madison. undermines our history and ebb operating embracing critical race theory. >> next our good buddy peter schweizer, don't miss it we'll be right back.

mark: welcome back america. peter schweizer. gives us insight in to communist china, what the biden administration is going wrong. here are his important words. >> we have peter schweizer with us. nobody better when it comes

to figuring out corruption. great book red handed. american elites get rich helping china win. let's focus on communist china. has muscled up their military. to the point where they are a grave threat to united states, not just in south china sea but all over the world. they seek to be the number one super power at least by next 10 years, i feel we're unraveling under joe biden and his administration. wiwoke attitude that is pushed into military, we can't get enough volunteers to serve. because the kind of men and women who want to serve they don't want to hear about pronouns and critical race theory and the rest. we see biden wants to surrender or trade situation with the chinese, that trump put in place. we see he has backed off in targets communist china for monitoring with stealing our

intelligence information. all the wrong signals sent by this administration. i fear taiwan will be invaded and we will not have an effective response. is our problem our m manchurian president. >> it is. you are right, with china, they are open, they are clear about it. they want to supplant us. they believe that our political system our economic system needs to be replaced their by own. and battle lines are different. you are correct about the military challenge, what is troubling about china not just the military threat, it is the wo cultural threat that represents institutions like tiktok and et cetera working to undermine american society, in face of that threat, what is your leadership doing?

we've talked about the financial ties that biden family has with beijing, that is a factor. what you see is a retreat with a thousand small steps. you know, the trump administration said, american institutional visitors can't own shares of stock that are black listed, biden administration said that is okay you can own them. you talked about. the china initiative to clampdown on their theft of our technology to advance their military, that started you were the trump administration, and biden administration ended that. thin you have the issue of general tariffs on solar panels, biden administration is walking away from those tariffs. and the stunning thing, all of these small steps, there is not one thing that the oe.

administration received. >> this push by the biden administration and his fanatic, no growth, green new deal climate change stuff, this is killing our energy industry, no one has fossil fuel like we have. who does it empower, at of level? the communist chinese, where do solar panels come from, the batteries need material that can only be found in china and china allies, you take our fossil fuels off the table. we're not a super power any longer, we're wishing for air, you know praying to the air gods and sun gods and praying to wind gods whatever else. without real blueprint for

reacting p properly, in plays to the hands of the chinese. >> this is a key point, we're moving from energy independence that u.s. has had, we'll be dependent on a foreign power for our energy, not opec, it worse, it is communist china, 80% of solar panels and solar technologies and wind technologies, come from the united states from china. what biden administration did again in a give away, was get rid of tariffs that was helping the american solar industry to try to compete, the chinese are dumping the technologies on the u.s. biden administration got rid of those protections, we'll be more dependent on china for energy needs, the question is, for those of us who remember 1970s, when arab golf st gulf

states had a strangle h hold on us, what it will be like when communist china controls our access to our new energy sources? that is what the biden administration's green initiatives are doing, i have no problem with some green enis initiative. with mo alternative energy but why do you get rid of the tariffs is a failing. mark: solar panels, and batteries. we need batteries for electric vehicle the. elements in a battery many are not in the united states they are not in the ground here. not in our water, many are in africa. afghanistan, ukraine, and china. china will have control over so much of our energy nerve

centers, our electricity. our ability to to transport and travel. to keep our homes warm, and hopes cool during the summer. why would we surrender this to the communist chinese when we're energy independent or were? these are questions, where are the committees of congress that are looking into this nobody, we have committees for everything, but with the biden family we have nothing. where is u.s. attorney investigation, i believe you told me at one point, that bidens received from china and other foreign governments or foreign front corporations, over 30 million dollars. that doesn't even create a curious interest by nancy pelosi? and democrats for their tax returns? they asked that from. t trump.

they are worried about donald trump who is out of office? they won't overseed by whoan who is in office. mark: after the break, the story of one of america's rising stars governor of south carolina christie gnome. don't go away we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ aleve x. its revolutionary rollerball design delivers fast, powerful, long-lasting pain relief.

mark: welcome back america. to finish the labor day special. inspiring spore story of hard work and america dream. from one of america's most promising young conservatives south dakota governor christie kristi noem. >> you are qualified to take

on. i read your book, i see how you grew up. you had a tough father, you worked on the farm. you became independent quickly. the book, not my first rodeo. >> i think it is interesting, this country is hungry for a little bit of american west. when we have this discussion about history. the importance of civil debate and discussion and pushing back on critical race theory, those who would remaker our republic, it is good to reflect back on the way of life that built the country, a lot of the blessings i had as a child growing up in the west on thea ranch, making a living off the land there are lessons to be learned. one of the best gifts my parents gave me was impossible things to do. we're crippling our children, by doing everything for them. we have parents and grandparents who think they need to get up every day and

protect their kids, my parents did the opposite, they prepared me for life, gave me hard things to did. creating us to be problem solvers and take up the next challenge in front of us, those life lessons are things we need to come back to and appreciate about america. that built america and we need this next generation to turn arounds agenda that last has grabbed a hold of that would cause us to lose our liberties, that story, you know people heard a lot aboutpy du me during the pandemic because the liberals were calling me dangerous, ex and irresponsible and reckless, i want people to read this book and understand the decisions that i made, where i believe in our cont constitution and i am focused on trusting people, lets them use personal

responsibility. it is the way our government was intended to fu function, it created a environment in south dakota that is a testament our state is breaking home, we proved we as conservatives always believe its works, we need to point to the consequences of what adheres to the principles, what they are. what they can bring in and success they -- y y yield for per s pursues important dream. mark: how did you get into pole ticks. politics. >> when i was young, my dad was killed in an accident, he was young. he was 49, he worked all of the time. but when we lost him, i quit college, took over the businesses. we had a large operation at the time. i remember a few months after he passed. i hadal these people working

for me. we were trying to figure out how to get's crop in the ground. and i got a letter from irs. that said, we owe death taxes, i couldn't figure it out. i was 22 years old. could not see how a family could have a tragedy and all of a sudden then federal government taxes on everything that family owned and threatened to take away the family, that made h me angry, i showed up at meetings, tom daschle was from south dakota, i ca went to his meetings and talked about i'm p immuniimportance of tax reform, i grew up with a dad who said you don't complain about things you fix them. >> as a governor, i am sure

you are seeing so many problems your citizens face and state faces, are as a result of the federal government, just the ability to run a farm, and a ranch, the price of fertilizer is through the roof. which is harming farming. the price of tractors, and of everything. it is through the roof. so from time to time do you look to federal government? >> all of the time. i have lived with this for years. something special about farmers, they go to the bank, borrow money, they buy side, fertilizer into put it in the dirt, they hope it rains. you could farm for 20 years make a good living, but have one bad one, you lose everything. i watched as other country

enemies have come in bought up our fi fers fertilizer -- fertilizer companies and they are now buying land, they are not dummies, china is not just strengthening their military and staling our ip, they are buying up our food supply chain, when they own it they will whole us, that is imperative it white house figure out we need to continue to grow our own food, keep farmers on land. every one of another energy policies cripples the ability of the united states to feed itself. that is a huge threat. mark: kristi noem. your book is great. i hope that everyone watching you get your book and learn a lot about you, i think you are a figure for the national scene.
