difference in their lives. trey: thank you for spending part of your sunday with us, hope you have a great week ahead, until next week you can find us on-line or on the trey gowdy pod casted, good night from south carolina, "life, liberty and levin" is up next. ♪ ♪ mark: hello america, i am mark levin this is our special thanksgiving version of "life, liberty and levin." i hope you have a great thanksgiving. i know it cost about 20% more. but these will be the good old days, wait until next year. but, that said, one thing i'm blessed to do is this program. and i'm blessed to have you.

we make this program depadifferent from most. we don't have a conga line of gifts duking is out, we have a long form interview program. we have one or two guests that is it, i want to go deep with these people and understand what it is they have to offer. we have tried, so you know, over past several years to get what we call i guess smart liberals, that is oxymorinnic on the program, we can't get them on. they don't want to come on. i have given up. instead i just expose you to as many good, smart intelligence people as i can, some of whom you know, some of whom you don't. some of whom are fame out and are not. we'll continue to do that through out the rest of this year, and next year as well. one of the highlights of this program to see is when we have individuals who have

written textbooks. -- fantastic books, i very much enjoy reading them and having them on the program to discuss with, what it is they wrote about. it is not easy to write a book, you are out there, intellectually naked and you have to defend or make your case, i find it interesting. what we're doing this program, is to show you gain against some of the outstanding interviews from the past year. of individuals just like that. that is not to say that there are not others, there were others but we have a one hour program, i have taken up almost 10 minutes, let's jump in with one of our greatest legal minds senator ted cruz. >> justice corruptive. this book could not be more important than today.

ted cruz, out on tuesday. it is important to read this before the repeal. real election, what about january 6. what do you make of how people are being prosecuted. they don't seem to be cigaretti -- segregating the people from violence and nonviolent. >> this book is first insides account of what happened on january 6, i take reader through the events of 2020 election to january 6, i take them through evidence of election fraud and voter fraud, which democrats and corporate media insists does not exist. i walked them through l

litigation and my being asked by lawyers in pennsylvania case. i walk you in the book through president trump asking me when the texas case of the supreme court if the supreme court took the texas case if i would argue that, i told president trump i would be happy to, i walked them through that day on january 6. where in the days beforehand i worked to assemble a coalition of 11 senators to stand up and object and demand an election commission to examine the es evidence of voter fraud, and trying to keep that coalition together, standing up and objecting and walk through the riot that happened, work to keep senators together, some were getting wobbly, and i walked them through the narrative to understand what happened, if you are at home talking to people about january 6, lleft used wildly politicize term like insurrection, that is political garbage.

anyone that uses that word is engaged in partisan spin. i walked through what happened this day, the contrast your question is right, what biden doj, uses actions of a handful of people to that day who committed accidents of violence, anyone who commits an act of violence you should be p prosecuted that is true whether i agree with you or disagree. if you assault a cop you go to jail. what biden doj has used violence access of a view to target and smear the tens of thousands of peaceful protesters who were in washington on january 6. the t tens of millions of conservatives and trump voters and the d double standard is ridiculous. paused at same time they ignore the antifa rioters

and black lives matter rioters, kamala harris bailed out of jail violent protestors who were engaged in blah black black lives matter and antifa programs, i ask why, january 6 prisoners treated differently from other prisoners, they are questions that doj, were it fair and impartial would be willing to answer, they stonewall. you want to know the stakes of this election are rule of law, we revere the constitution and the rule of law, why do we have prosperity in america, where much of the developing world does not, because we had the rule of law because our judicial system is not just a political weapon to persecute the enemies of the president, under barack obama and now joe biden, that is what it is becoming, that is dangerous. mark: book justice corrupted, how left

weaponnized our legal system, what would you say about law enforce. in general. >> police officers across the country are heroes, that they feel demoralized and undermined by democrats and the radicals in this party, one thing that i talk about is how president biden nominated and every democrat voted to confirm not one but three of the leading pro proponents of abolishes and defunding police to senior positions at different of justice. and talk about ge george soros prosecutor, put millions in terms of electing radicals who let violent criminals go and talk about -- waukesha christmas parade murderer, the mass murderer who drove his suv into the crowd, he

went in and out with left wing soros prosecutor that kept letting him go, that is radicali radicalized and dangerous, you talk about marxist a lot this goes into critical race theory and and -- they come in and say, one of ways that undermine our criminal justice system is to take over the role of prosecutor and refuse to lock of criminals. and that danger is profound, you and i, neither one of us' to see a republican department of justice or a democrat department of the justice, we want to see a department of justice and fbi that follows the law fairly and impartially.

engaged in a corrupt persecution with hillary clinton party, and let me say this, last time i went on your show was my last book, one vote away. it shot to number one on amazon bestseller list, we have leased when ruth bader ginsburg died. this book i am h hopeful we'll see the same thing, i have to say this doj on exercises every day the abuse of power that we're talking about, this book explains why. mark: he was great. one of it greatest leaders of our time, reelection as prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ luxury exemplified.

mark: welcome back to this special thanksgiving episode of "life, liberty and levin ." "bibi: my story" is a fantastic book about natalia bryant, he hand wrote the entire book himself, over a period of about 12 months when he was out of power, he will be prime minister again, longest serving prime

minister in history of israel, it is a fascinating book. let's check it out again. >> i want to stard not at the beginning mr. prime minister, but with something that is existential to our countries, this regime in iran. now, president trump had his foot on the throat of this regime, he got rid of deal obama administration. is working at break-neck speed to get their nukes. >> i think it will be height of folly to enable iran to get nuclear w weapons. what we're seeing in world today is danger of aggression armed with nuclear weapons, iran, will

be worse thing you can imagine, they chant d death to israel, but they also chant death to america, we're the small satan but you are the big satan. you will be held hostage forever. you have seen what it is like with a rogue regime like north korea with nuclear weapons, and half of asia is quaking in fear. they could reach you here. to have the ayatollahs committed to destruction of our way of life and chants death to america have to them have nuclear weapons is nothing short of folly. it has to be stopped. i have devoted a lot of my time to stopping it i think that any responsible policy on part of united states should do that. it should not facilitate the iran deal that paves highway

with gold with billions of dollars for iran to become a threshold nuclear state, it should work the opposite. >> do you think that administration in israel headed by lapides had been effective in confronts iran. >> no, i think that they give lip service to the opposition to the upcoming nuclear deal because the majority of public is against it. the way that you galvanize this opposition to go to the u.n., and draw a red line to u.s. congress, which i did, it was a very difficult decision to go to joint session of congress and oppose policies of a sitting president, where the u.s. is our ally was not an easy thing to do, i wrote about that in my book of memoirs, i said when you have a regime that is openly

calling for the th the -- an i'll be of the jewish state i h had no choice. i did it in every forum, and every meeting with leaders. iran's nuclear weapons threaten us and they threaten you and the peace of the world, you do not want a fanatical islamist regime to be armed with nuclear weapons. >> the book is "bibi: my story," you can get it at bibimystory.com or at amazon.com. any major bookstore in united states what was your relationship and you write about these things in the book. -- your relationship like with barack obama? >> it started out in a

janitor's office in airport in washington. he was a senator then, we had a good meeting, i looked forward to cooperating with him in case he was elected. when we both got elected we mmet in israel, he said to me what i said to him, we came out of opposite sides of the political spectrum. we're pragmatic enough to work together for our country's interest. at least i hoped. but in some things we did. but in iran question, and palestinian question, our ways parted. i thought that obama was not a w weak person, i thought he was strongly committed to his beliefs, they were just in my opinion on these crucial matters the wrong beliefs, we had a clash when i realized he was

pursuing a deal with iron that nominally to prevent, iran from getting nuclear weapons, but it was allowing iran with american and international seal of approval to develop -- to become a threshold nuclear state with a break out time with obama himself would be zero. you know, i thought, this is something i cannot accept. i can not accept the idea of containing iranian nuclear weapons, i believe in prevents them from having them. i sought to apply everything that i had, including when necessary taking the very difficult decision of confronts a sitting america president and his policies. mark: and joe biden on this subject, you were prime minister for a period of time when he was president.

and you have hamas raining missiles down. on your country and you talk about this in your book. "bibi: my story," what was joe biden's reaction? >> well biden, whom i have known for 40 years. since he was a young senator in washington. he always says, bibi, i love you, about i don't agree with a word you say. high agreed when -- he agreed when hamas was firing rockets at israel. we retailated. it was supportive. he was the supportive throughout our right right to exercise civil defense did you he was under great pressure of a certain wing of the democratic party, he started saying you

have to end it i said no, joe, i have to continue until we accomplish our objectives that took about 10 days. i would say, the american pressure and the israeli action met at point where we completed our objective, we stopped. i think that biden is sympathetic to israel but his policy on this, unfortunately reflects his policy on palestinian question, and on iran. i think is also misdirected. i am try trying to be a diplomat here, it is wrong for people to seek to contain an i -- iranian nuclear weapon.

no. that is something that will not advance peace. i think that you need strong leadership to reinstate a credible military threat on iran, that is the on'ly thing that will stop them, if you look at rogue countries, that and i write it in the book, the rogue country that try to develop nuclear weapons, one was saddam hussein's iraq, stopped and second syria and libya stopped by military action. fourth was north korea, there was no military threat. there was a series of agreements which north korea violated and the result is they have a nuclear arsenal that can threaten you. and fi cir is iran for one year alone after second gulf war thought that

america would take action against it, they suspended their -- after a year they realized there of no threat. they have been going at it. i have -- as i said, i d devoted a good many years, to do everything in my power to stop them, stop them through military action, and political action, i think that it requires american leadership. to stop iran to prevent evan from having nuclear weapons and proposed agreement is the opposite of what is required. mark: we'll be right back.

the biden administration, very important book. only the strong. reversing the left's plot to sabotage american power. >> here we go. mark: i look at china, i think to myself, why isn't there more of an urgency in this kaj administration and congress to build up our military, our military is flat. china is on the move with bases all over the world with w weapon systems they did not have 5 years ago. xi is now dec a dictator for life. is this a time where president should give a speech and rally the nation for preparation. >> joe biden cannot bring him self to mention the name china. he talked about how we don't

seek a cold war, we didn't seek one with soviet russia either. when there are cro country wages one against you, the otherly choice you have to win or lose, this has been typical of his career to late 1980s, and 90s when so soviet russia was on the ropes, joe biden favored a policy of appease am. to china. he favored letting them in w.h.o. and celebrating china's rise, said they welcome it, he said that the last presidential campaign as well. an example how joe biden does not recognize the threats from a brutal communist regime in china, just like he didn't recognize it in cold war as i layout in only the strong.

about america. they think that world and america would be better if we pull in our horns atone for our sins, and apologized for our past. we know that is not a recipe for success but defeat it would make america more dangerous, less free and impoverished. mark: after the break, shocking insight from one of my favorite intellectual screen writers, david mamet. he has a sharp mind, very much worth listening to and we will w when we come back.
