trey: thank you for spending part of your sunday with us, have a great week ahead, enjoy the week before christmas and beginning hanukkah. until we meet again you can find us on line or trey gowdy podcast. good night from south carolina. "life, liberty and levin" is up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ mark: i am mark levin, this is l "life, liberty and levin." we have two tremendous gifts today, molly hemingway and victor davis hanson. i want to say a few things

there are a series of questions on whether joe biden used his public office and position to enrich himself and his family to over 30 million dollars. why he and family members received millions, steps of millions, from foreign governments and front corporationses in china, russia, ukraine. and other places. we have hunter biden laptop, loaded with evidence. that the fbi is all but ignored and media covered up. we have witnesses like bob walensky on the record publicly and did a interview and never contacted again. you have other potential witnesses and actors who are named in the e-mails, and you have dates, and times, and transactions. really anything you would need. and we have treasury sar

reports, they are suspicious activity reports on wired funds. which should give you a lot of information, joe biden said during the course of the campaign against donald trump, he has never discussed hunter's oversea's business dealings, joe biden is a pathological liar, he did. so-called experts who were rooting for joe biden claim that laptop was russia disinfo disinformation. they are liars. fbi warned about russia disinformation at the same time that the laptop was an issue before the 2020 election met with twitter,

we now know that, with facebook, in other words they tried to wave off big tech and oligarchs from the laptop story, fbi had the tllaptop for nearly a year, the big guy. e-mail, may 13, 2017, real evidence, who is that. >> that joe biden. 10% for the big guy. 10% for who? for joe biden, in the laptop, i'm not making it up, we know that accounts and finances were commingled. hunter's and joe's and00 ihunter would pay for things for joe, did joe pay taketaxes on that. how about joe biden has he

reported the gifts? zoi don't think so, whistle glowe blowers, and pictures with joe biden, with hunters partners, these raise criminal issues, not saying they are guilty but craze criminal issues -- raise criminal issues. of wire fraud. why does this matter? there is more. taxes. joe biden prides himself to releasing his individual income taxes and he has been celebrated for this and taken shots at d donald trump for this could be because joe biden has not really released all of his taxes, has he, chris jacobs in "wall street journal" a

short time ago, in 2017 and 18 bidens and his wife jill avoided payroll taxes on from book royalties and speaking fees. they paid themselves salaries. but they cir circumvented the payroll taxes and obama character taxes, they protected 95 percent of their income. so, millions of dollars protected from the payroll tax that is almost a half million in in taxes they would have paid.

they cited biden campaign web site. we don't know. the question is. i don't have the answer. if they want to prove us stupid, why not release the s-corporation tax returns. anderson writing in federalist about a last year or so, says:

>> most of it in first year. now, note able 8.7 million dole dollar gap exists. since his disclosure covers part of 2017 we lack insight. didd that money, he is asking, go to joe or jill? will we know if president provided a copy of their s -corp tax returns, only detail we have are those given to us by campaign and bidens and the press.

we know thanks to u.s. supreme court that when republican takeover the house they can get access to joe biden's s -corporation returns, all of it. all of hunter biden 's returns, assuming he had filed taxes. a footnote, thanks to u.s. supreme court, congress now has power given the fact they allowed a lame duck democrat committee of congress two weeks ago to get 6 years of donald trump tax returns for no reason, there can't be a legislative purpose. they could get access to nancy pelosi's tax returns. and barack obama's. and michelle, of course. george w. bush, and they could get chief justice of united states tax returns,

thank you supreme court. what a dumb decision. the door is wide open for the republicans to get returns on private citizens, public officials anyone they want, just say it say legislative purpose, moving on. why am i laying this out? because of this in the "washington post": david brock runs media matters, is hate on for conservatives and republican party, and hate on for trump and all republicans, washington post points out there was a meeting in september, among others brock and some big wig activists on democrat and liberal side and hunter biden's lawyer, blunt in laying out as washington post writes a strategy session they have in onslaught of investigations

and how they will fight back. and describe pos possibility of defamation law, they put this out to the public: this article goes on and on, a group called courage for america, a s.w.a.t. team called facts first and white house, they are all involved of what is a character is a as nassassination c campaign against anyone who dares to speak out against the biden family, that is intimidation. that is also obstructing.

an official effort by congress to conduct an investigation, i wonder what merrick garland will do about it, the clear the purpose to interfere with operations of congress, there is no need to make a general threat to prosecute people for defamation in advance of testimony. that anticipates an event that is yet to happen. to have a chilling affect. to threaten people, and prevent testimony. if i were lawyer for hunter biden, mr. kevin morris, or hunter biden, i would watch what i say. be very careful, any criminal violation by conticontempt of congress can be prosecuted.

i en encourage you talk down names and you find out who is threatening to interfere with you're investigation, and whether this goes to highest levels of the white house. what is this? nixon 2? i don't know, but this is troubling, and this special counsel how the hell do you have all this evidence of this kind of activity of enriching a family, a vice who becomes president, what foreign governments and foreign corporations, serious questions about whether their taxes are accurate. the clause with the president of the united states and whether or not we have a man in the oval office who has been compromised, how the hell do you not appoint a special counsel to in

investigate him,. not his son, him. how is that possible, purpose of special count statute to not investigate a political opponent, like some third world dictator, it is not to investigate donald trump. you have never had the appointment of a special count to investigate a political opponent like this is some third world. the important is to to eliminate appearance of a conflict within an administration, an attorney general apo appoints a special counsel. so that is when you appoint a special counsel, we have a situation, it has turned on his head, to investigate donald trump over documents? ed and the concoctions about

january 6, he somehow had a role? you don't have a special counsel in a matter that involves a sitting president and his ties to communist regime in china to regime in russia, to prior corrupt regime in ukraine, and so forth? and so on? unbelievable. when we come back, two remarkable individuals will be our guests. i'll be right back. helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

mark: welcome back here we're with the great mollie hemingway. federalist editor in chief, how is it possible there is no childre special counsel to investigate joe biden. >> it is amazing on two fronts, you don't need anything against donald trump right now over a paperwork dispute. the special counsel the statute is to be when which is a conflict of interest between department of justice and how they investigate anyone with

their own administration, it is unbelievable one has not already been appointed, bill barr said he didn't appoint one because there was now conflict when he was attorney general, he assumed as soon as democratic administration took over they would imagi immediately appoint one. many say there needs to be one. investigation of the biden family business is run out of delaware office, it is small, du does not have many resources, it is complicated, it is not just hunter biden but it is other members of the biden family. taking money from oligarchs and corrupt regimes. mark: you have, i read over 20 prosecutors investigating donald trump. over 20 prosecutors? when you look at the biden crime family over course of several years, senate, vice

president in particular, now president of u.s., we have a small office that is looks into matters, they report to merrick garland, we know he is the most political attorney general. they get his 6 years of taxes, they go after his company at the local level. you have democrats now saying, if you investigate hunter biden, let's go after jared and i ivanka. the democrat party is corrupt, is it not? >> against this is a longstanding problem we have had at justice department, almost doesn't matter who is in charge of the justice department, they have become so political. we learned and -- corrupt bureaucrats and dc headquarters shut down all lines of inquiry, this is you know, domestic corruption, international, and at the same time, this

same department of justice, which ran a campaign of destruction against trump administration with russia solution ho hoax is relentless in, fors to somehow bring down donald trump. if you are only of the regime, you can do whatever you want, but if you challenge the regime, and disruptive to their control over the dc establishment, there will be no stone left unturned to go after you, destroy you and anyone who supports you and close to you, not about president trump, per say, anyone that does anyone to take on regime will get this kind of treatment. unless there accountability. mark: don't you think, looking back at attorney general barr, his commentary

on this network and others, kind of bizarre. he was really quite passive as attorney general with investigating the bidens or matters like, that he full throated on tv to going after trump on documents, i am like what the hell happened, he turned on a dime, if am i wrong. >> i don't know, i think he did many good things as attorney general, it is difficult, there is a limit to how much you can do when entire department of justice is allied against certaina. political interests, i find interesting is that this paperwork dispute that president trump is embroiled in versus department of justice, everyone should be speaking out against this,

it is so obvious corrupt, and department has no standing to go against president trump after what they did to him throughout his administration. and everyone who is worth anything, should be speaking and condemning this with everything they have. mark: he is not bill barr is out there condemning trump. hugh can this department go after trump on that issue when they never touched hillary clinton on that issue, she, i must say when it comes to taking documents she beats trump by spades, my concern about barr he is quiet about the biden matter yet expressive about the trump matter, it is strange to me, i'm trying to figure it out. i guess i can't. when we come back, hire is

my question, the threats made to potential witnesses, and anyone who shows up on tv, this network, should people really begin to delve into biden crime family, and follow the evidence where the evidence leads, what about that? that seems like obstruction toart me, i'll be right back. to pump blood to the body. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto.

jon: welcome to fox news live, i am jon scott in new york, our nation's dire immigration problems could get worse. because title 42 is at the time to epower on wednesday -- expire on wednesday, it could block and illegal aliens from seek asylum in u.s. for health reasons it, mean up to 15 thousand more migrant arrival the per day, house importance insist it does not mean the border is open. >> like images from a argentina. the nation in a frenzy after the world cup victory over chance, first fifa win since 1986. 4-2 after a dramatic penalty shootout. >> i am jon scott, back to "life, liberty and levin."

mark: welcome back, mollie hemingway, we have a wash post piece, information provided "washington post," one of the lawyers for hunter biden and others are out there, raising money to intimidate, and threaten witnesses and news organizations and hosts and so forth who dare to raise issues about the bidens and hunter biden, can you imagine if this were case with the january 6 committee if we did the same thing? what is your take? >> if anyone on right, announced their plans to obstruct justice by intimidating witnesses or tampering with investigations it would be front page news, here these people leaked to "washington post" their plans, they got

favorable coverage of how they will try to fight any effort to uncover what is going on with biden family business. it is not surprising, this is what they do, this is what they did with people who investigated russia collusion hoax, they targeted investigators, tried to destroy their lives, same thing with nomination of bret kavanaugh. it goes back to the clinton administration, hillary clinton ran war rook room to target any woman who alleged harassment from the ex president. it is a p propaganda press who will help them go against rule of law. >> you wrote a fantastic book. "rigged ," pointing out opposed mark zuckerberg from facebook.

now you see what is being leased from musk's g group at twitter. i take you are not surprised that big tech oligarchs were working with the campaign, and fauci and the rest. >> this meddling that we've learned about is a serious threat to the republic, i did write about that. in 2016, oligarchs said they would never let happen against what happened in 2016, republicans speaking to directly to people away from propaganda press in a way that convinced them to vote for them, they did game playing, and censorship campaigns and deplatforming, we're confirming through the release of these files this say serious threat to our elections too have this level of meddling. it is something that

republican party needing to take seriously, now can do i little bit with control over the house, a is a threat to the republic and conservative movement. mark: yet, what is the focus of the republicans right now? in senate, they are selling out on a mass of spending bill. my understanding is that first time a modern american history a lame duck party, has pushed through a massive spinning bill that ties hands of a new majority coming in the house. for a full fiscal year. this is the leadership of mcconnell and the boys, a massive amnesty bill negotiated. you have them voting, 12 of home for the ai antireligion bill. before the election, they vote forward gun control. democrats say is a first step, what is the mcconnell, legislative

agenda? >> not surprising this republicans fared so poorly in midterms in senate, given what people see happens when you vote for republicans, to be in the senate. mitch mcconnell has not fought or even got again any of these bad moves that you just mentioned. this is a really betrayal of the republican voter. and it is not surprising that mitch mcconnell is the least popular politician in america, he is toxic to a powerful republican governing coalition that represents will of its voters, mitch mcconnell is not on tv but to condemn the base of republican party, he hates them, and candidates they choose, and he does not advocate for their views or policies that is why there is frustration among senators, you know marco rubio has been tweeting about how little good it has

been done and h how much badning things, and somenothing is changing, they are stuck in a 20 years kind of moment in the republican party h they don't represent the new republican party. mark: you are 100% right, i would say republican majority in senate are not conservative, they are moderates some are liberal republicans, you will meet hard-core left on 40 yard line, he said, sometimes you have to win the f football game. mollie thank you so much. thank you for being on the program. >> thank you. mark: we'll be right back.

mark: welcome back america we have victor davis hanson, what i call america's wiseman. he is with the hoover institution as a senior fellow, he has written fantastic books, including the dieing citizen. i fire the nation is unraveling and our politicians are part of the problem. wwe have a corrupt media. a corrupt a academia. the country is unraveling, are we able to pull out of this. >> i am worried as you are 51% or more of people reject this neosocialism, wokism, the institutions are all

controlled by the woke left. academia, k-12, corporate boardrooms and foundations and tame, professional sports, and network news and pbs, they exercise a level of influence that is not commiserate with their numbers, that in intimidates our political leaders on the write, they feel i don't want a bad review on tv or i would like to go to the on the c oscars or whatever the leverage, it is insidious. they do not have confidence we're still a center-right conservative nation, they become morally compromised. mark: our leaders, i don't know who they are any more.

i watch what is going on with republicans cutting deals with the democrats and massive amnesty and omnibus bill. they have no legislative agenda that is discernible. when you confront a democrat party that is radicalized, that is anti-constitutionalist and national sovereignty and anti-capitalism, you talk about meeting them on the 40 yard line, what does this leave us? >> they have no discipline, they can't unite, the left has never has a civil war among their wra ranks and left has so much more money than we dall of great

fortunes of america on the left side, we saw this with crazy sam bankman-fried. and we're out spend, they have changed voting laws to bake election day voting and election night counting pastimes, we don't even experience any more. we have a lot of institutional and financial obstacles to recreate or remake or recalibrate america, we saw this midterms, we were effective in saying biden destroy border or energy wa independence or a peaceful america but we didn't have an agenda, nobody who is running for office said, when we get in office, even if we don't control the executive branch we'll build a hundred miles of wall and

have more leases and reopen anwar and keystone, but no one said that, it was almost as if we don't dare ssay, that because i don't think any they didn't believe it or they were not united. there is fraction. you see that with the fight over the speaker, the left does not do, that people are challenging mccarthy, i'm note not saying he is a saint, they are not giving us an alternative, and they are just fighting, i don't understand it given the damage the lefts that done. mark: why do you think. my. have we this republican leadership in the senate, seem to to be same republican leadership over and over and over again. no matter how they fill. and focus on senate, last 3

so-called press conferences mcconnell has trashed trump. my theory he and certain republican establishment they are not talking to american people or media pursue but the prosecutors and department of justice. what mcconnell saying is go hade ahead -- indict trump, do us a favor, take him off the political landscape, i don't like him, i every liked him, i don't like what he said about my wife, so we can press ahead. whwhy el? >> that explains it, i know also establishment has a deep antipathy for him, his background or career prior to politics from different from their own.

he doesn't care what people say about him, he doesn't want to go to the white house correspondents dinner, he was uncontrol able,s some that lead to his own excessive, but high frightened them, they 24 thought how do you get to donald trump. and how do you make hims or dox, ar orthodox, they don't know how to deal with him. that could be good at a certain time and place they were terrified in, that they are compromised in a sense, they want things from the left, they want approval to hoccasional begrudging

puff piece in "new york times" or features on network news sunday morning tv show, that is ib becomes in insidious, they forget who they represent, they are riprepresenting the majority of americans who feel their country has been hijacked who are looking at them to save it they not doing that. >> my question, wouldn't they do the same thing to a ron desantis or another conservative in office, the republican establishment and media and democrats? we'll be right back. helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

mark: welcome back in victor davis hanson this machinery of the left, and the washington establishment, they are not giving up are they? once donald trump is off of scene, there is r another republican, a conservative in particular, a desantis-type or ted cruz, they won't just say let's move on with bipartisan government. >> no, no, what was unique about trump, the degree of hatred was more intense but it fooled republicans to

thinking he was unique he heated, he forgot when john mccain ran they smeared him see nile. and with george w. bush said he of a brown shirt and a nazi and dick cheney was darth vader, some people now saying, donald trump was so excessive, a lot of us on the conservative side were defending them from the same attacks. they c forgot, every time a republican is o out of office, no longer res pricents a danger they no longer -- ron desantis, is

not as outspoken or you knows some not as erratic at trump but believe me, he sent the immigrants to martha mart vineyard or took on disney or school board they hate him. he is unafraid, and showing people he is not a romney fig figure. he is proving that. that will really enrage the left. mark: one of your areas of expertise is it break immigration, we have millions of more of illegal aliens in the country. they want to do it in face of schumer that all illegal

up immigrants should get citizenship. >> we have 50 million people not born in the united states of various status, highest percentage wise and numbers you look at border you want to cry, it does not exist, you yell on the your television set or computer screen, they there is a law, they are breaking a law, who is in charge. that is impeachable offense. what are these people doing to do 16,000 people come in they will need immediate health and legal and housing and food. subsidies who pays for it, will they be assimilated to body politic, the left brags among themselves, demography is destiny, we fli flip

nevada and california blue andment new mexico, and right says, this is very ominous, you believe this the great replacement theory i, you are racist, you agree with us that demography is destiny but because you are conservative it is racist when you saw it. >> you have a president who won't follow the law, and you have federal law enforce. that won't enforce the law. and you have republicans who dare not say the world impeachment with a democrat president, in this case biden, who is openly violating not just the law but the constitution of the united states, there is very little that can be done about circumstances like this, i think that is why people are so damn frustrated. victor davis hanson thank you my friend. you are terrific, and

courageous and brillient. and have a wonderful christmas and new year. >> thank you, same here, mark to your staff as well, much appreciated. mark: god bless. >> you we'll be right back. ou n. contestants ready? go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ho ho ho! not again... oh no...
