♪. mark: hello america i am mark levin this is "life, liberty & levin" saturday. man, it is good to be back. it's good to have you back to prove it to great guest through governor ron desantis and gordon chang appeared before go to our guests, isn't it strange when you have an entity that is at war with us but we do not accept the fact that they are at war with us? i am talking about islamic terrorists. all over the world that infiltrated our country. every aspect of our country, our culture, our government and academia in our media they are here. right now as i speak the war against america by the islamic terrorists. they have infiltrated our country. and yet we have this horrendous islamic terrorist attack in new orleans. by shamsud-din jabbar.

the first thing out of the mouth of the senior fbi official is, they are not sure it is terrorism. they dumped their not sure it's terrorism? you seat ladies and judgment we cannot win a war if our american citizens are going to die if we do not acknowledge we are in a war with islamic terrorism. apparently the federal bureau of investigation, the soon to be gone director, thank god, talks about red flags. he talks about terrorism. he spoke a lot about white supremacy. he talked a lot about homegrown terrorism. this term homegrown terrorism is very interesting to me. homegrown? what does that mean? these people are born in america is that what that means? this not purely at home grown is it? the islamists are here. their money is here print the propaganda is here. different groups are here. american citizens are being influenced, inundated

propagandized by the islamist terrorist entities. some of which are states some of which are organizations. so what's our government doing about it? what is he biting regime doing about it what's the department of justice, homeland security, fbi, intel organizations doing about it? clearly not enough. we have terrorists linked and supporting organizations in our country. what are we doing about it? we know who they are with terrorists promoting faculty threat of colleges and universities, will be doing about it? nothing. we have terrorist indoctrination, mosques in our communities, promoting terrorism. not all obviously, but it doesn't take all does it? what are we doing about it? nothing with terrorists lincoln supporting student organizations like students for justice in palestine with direct link to terrorists entities 350 organizations on our campuses in this country. aliens and dollars flowing into our country from enemy states

including terrorist states and terrorist organizations. what are we doing about it? we have open borders. we have no vetting of millions of people coming from terrorist states. we have tens of thousands of people coming into this country. single adult males of military age, what are we doing about it? we are giving their welfare benefits, don't you know? maybe even visa car visa cars cm venezuela, coming from all kinds of countries but do not worry we are told by liberals, do not worry we are deporting more than ever before. that is pretty funny. with tens of millions of illegal aliens in this country but do not worry we are deporting more than ever before. isn't that a strange comment? it is a ridiculous comment. we are flying people in here. we are pretending illegal aliens are legal. we are doing everything a weekend to bring people into this country terrorists, criminal, venezuelan gangs, it does not matter. and yet they tell us they are deporting more than ever before. we have social media platforms

that are being exploited by terrorists and terrorist organizations. what are we doing about it? executive branch officials unable or unwilling to do anything effective about it. we have done something about that, we did in november. just in the nick of time. we are told there's a lot of reasons we can't do anything about it. like the first amendments. all of these people preaching terrorism, attacks, hate and violence. all these people in the streets chasing jews. synagogues under attack. jewish organizations under attack. what can we do about it? the first amendment people who know nothing about the first amendment keep telling us we cannot do anything about it because of the first amendment there is an unprotected speech there are such categories in this country defamation, fighting words, true threats of obscenitobscenity, child pornog, hate speech there are certain restrictions of course maybe we should give it a try. don't you think every now and then you go after these

individuals? the latest supreme court decision as pointed out by virginia versus black in 2003. that involves the image of a burning cross one that still inspires fear and anger among black and jewish americans it's an unfortunate fact it is not been left in the past with other ugly relics in 19983 men were arrested and convicted separately across the burning of violent virginia state statute prohibiting cross burning on the property of another or public places with the intent to intimidate. they appealed their cases to the virginia supreme court arguing the statute was unconstitutional because it treated the active af cross burning itself as the only act required to prove intent to intimidate. the court agreed with them. so went to the supreme court of the united states but that court held in a seven -- two decision by sandra day o'connor state mate band cross burning carried out with the intent to intimidate. the provision of the virginia statute treating the active

cross burning as evidence of intent to intimidate was unconstitutional. a cross burning may be carried out for a reason other than intent to intimidate according to the courts such as a political rally but even if the active cross burning arouses a sense of anger or hatred among the vast majority of citizens, that anger or hatred is not enough to prohibit the burning. only cross a burning so with the intent to intimidate and prohibited under the first amendment burning across as a particular form of intimidation. let's see how about chasing jews down the street or preventing them from going to college when they pay tuition. we have all kinds of overt affirmative acts to go with the so-called free speech that's been taking place in this country. seems like a great supreme court decision jimmy. immigratifor immigrationrefor reform law institute in october 24 they also point out we have pursuant to section 23398 of the terrorism act as a crime for anyone in the united

states to provide material support to a designated tourist organization additional federal laws make it illegal to endorse terrorists activity persuade others to do the same. foreign nationals engaged into activity in the night states are subject to removal. may be barred from future entry into the country. how many of those people have been barred or deported by the biting regime? i think i count zero. maybe there is a few after all they are deporting more people than ever before as we have tens of millions of people in this country who should not be here. a large number of foreign students overtly endorse terrorists activity during the protest politely and violate the terms of their student visas rendering them subject to deportation. yet senior officials and number of educational institutions have openly admitted that in order to protect them from deportation foreign student protesters would not be suspended or expelled even when they advocated violence against jewish students and faculty members are carried by system flags or hamas or

hezbollah flags what's worse the authority to take any action to hold either universities are lawbreaking foreign students accountable. they are on student visas you kick them out of the country but in fact the government responses to the protest have been so similar to those offered by universities and colleges that it appears that you are collaborating. that is a biting regime and these colleges to protect foreign students at the expense of the american public for the white house was asked about prosecuting and deporting foreign students who advocate on behalf of terror groups, by demonstration officials weren't dismissive characterizing the chaos on hundreds of universities of campuses as young people engaging in the exercise of the first amendment rights which brings me back to the first point i already raised. what does this have anything to do with what took place in new orleans? anything. it's puzzle pieces we are under attack. this is a war. home grown, imported, all of it

be divided white house work with colleges to take terrorists sympathized and students from deportation? the answer is yes. they did. so, here we are in the state of war. what do we have in the white house? we have a sympathizer with the enemy. what about here in our country? disrupt terror funding terror supporting organizations look at this one. this is just happe just happenes ago but house ways and means committee and this statement house democrahouse democrats crn support for terrorism by tax-exempt organizations in our country providing relief from tax penalties for american hostage. legislation exists for u.s. non- profits materia material supporg terrorist organizations was defeated by the democrats. despite strong bipartisan support early on house democrats

block the passage of the stop terrorism financing tax penalties on american hostages act for the legislation included similar policies already approved by unanimous consent in the senate would halt tax subsidies going to u.s. nonprofits and groups like care or students for justice of palestine. with all of these ties to hamas and so forth nonprofits maturely support terrorist organization fair tax treatment for those held hostage and so forth. during the debate house democrats specifically cited the election of president trump as a reason for opposing legislation they previously supported. one member sang with the conditions have changed. >> the terrorists ha terrace ofo worry about. apparently that upsets the democrat. the troubling pattern of nonprofits operating in the united states. home grown you might say with suspected ties to terrorism will still maintain their tax-exempt status. that means we, the american

taxpayers subsidize these organizations but multiple committee hearings expose the activities of these groups such as the alliance for global justice u.s. nonprofits with tax-exempt status and found to be funding a group recently designate by the u.s. government as a sham charity and funder of terrorism despite this fact the u.s. has yet to revoke alliance for global justices, tax-exempt status i think we will need a new commissioner in their mr. president-elect. white with the mosque to which this mass murder in new orleans went to, refused to cooperate with the fbi? already the fbi said we don't think it's a terrorism event we just don't know yet. now they have concluded what everybody alread jewish news service prefers fbi to care new orleans attackers tells members for a while is deeply troubling and wrong for this to a jew hating group plays other islamic terrorist attacks

coa zionist organization of america. the local houston mosque who the home of this mass murder has been receiving good deals on wanted press attentions and said he drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people the statement posted on facebook, temporary post expires the management wrote that new orleans tragic event. i want to emphasize the importance of everyone to stay vigilant. if anyone is contacted by the media it is very important you do not respond if approached by the fbi response referred shoot care i sga it's crucial we stay united at this time as we condemned the terrible acts please stay safe why won't they respond to the fbi? go to care there's books written about care. how it was founded in the 1990s by hamas.

how it is a hamas a front group periods is part of the foundation and illegal funding operation. and how on october 7 its lead, holcomb executive director, came out and openly supported to defend the october 7 attack on israel by this organization is operating in her own country. an enormous amount of funds like students for justice impal in palestine linked to terrorist affiliate. enormous amounts of funds. what do we do about it? nothing. there is no war. it's all islam a phobia. and were not talk about all muslims, why would we? we are talking about jihad he'st hotties, terrorists, and what about these colleges and universities in their faculties? they promote terrorism, marxism and anti- americans but terrorism and islamist groups they come out of the woods didn't they? after october 7 they are still t of the woods. there institute points out we

spend a lot of money you and i funding these colleges and universities why don't we define them? they wanted to defend the police either a better idea why don't we defund the organizations that promote terrorism? and hire people, faculty promote terrorism and brainwash our children and because there for death and may hamper this in situ rights of 2021 state and local government spent $311 billion 8.7% of direct spending higher education was the fourth largest expenditure. state government some are controlled by republicans, why don't you do something about it? in fact we have your from dollars and degrees, 18% to four year public institutions and their revenue 18% comes to the federal government. 20% from the state government over a third comes from the government. why don't we put the shoulder on

these so-called academically free institutions and tell them to stop promoting terrorism? there are things we can do about it. that we have the biting regime itself and the open borders. but don't worry they are deporting more than ever before as they are importing more than ever before. the house judiciary committee pointed out last august on the biden/parish regime were 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watch list encountered by border patrol at the southwest border during fiscal year 2021 and 2023 dhs is released into american communities at least 99 with at least 34 others in dhs custody people on the terrorist watchlist. but not yet removed from the united states. good job wouldn't you say? which one fits was 2220 toy the border patrol the southwest border and can on the terrorist watch was 36 different countries including places with an active terrace presence.

but don't worry we are deporting more than ever before so far during fiscal years 2024 border patrol has encountered tens of thousands of illegal aliens. nationwide by countries at the a present national security risks including 2134. afghan nationals 33003 to 47 chinese nationals of 541 iranian nationals. 528 syri520 syrian nationals anu >> nationals. wow. this fbi needs to be broomed. imagine if it applied the resources applied against donald trump over these years investigating him, harassing him, hunting him, giving support to a rogue prosecutor and so forth. imagine if those had been applied to fighting terrorism. imagine if the funds and resources had been used against pro-life protesters or parents

raising concerns at their school boards. or it generates six nonviolent protesters which was the number one priority of the biden administration along with white supremacy. imagine resources ha have been applied to that. the de eye focus of the fbi. the fbi, the intelligence agencies, the department of justice and the dhs are soft counterterrorism more like counter americanism. we need tough hard nail experience men and women who know who the enemy is and will do something about it. like when i use a server at the department of justice under reagan the attorney general and caspar weinberger i and the departmin thedepartment of defet casey at the cia. we do not even have a department of homeland security. what an ironic joke.

our government needs to focus on protecting us from an enemy needs to understand there is a war going on. a war against us islamic terrorism. i will be right back. i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the streets talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. —you sure? —i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car, you have the check engine light. but the heart doesn't have a hey, check heart sign. i want to show you something. put both fingers right on those pads. there you go. in 30 seconds we're going to have a medical-grade ekg reading. —there it is! —that is you. look at that. with kardiamobile, you can take a medical-grade ekg in just 30 seconds from anywhere. kardiamobile is proven to detect atrial fibrillation, one of the leading causes of stroke. and it's the only personal ekg that's fda-cleared to detect normal heart rhythm, bradycardia and tachycardia.

mark: welcome back americo hirth americas governor, rhonda santa sister did a very important position in the house of representatives before ascending to the governorship. governor, welcome. when you are in the house to her chairman of a very important subcommittee. i want to remind the american people how important it is not for the house and senate to oversee this but for the executive branch to actually do its job. are we not at war with this ideology and in some case the states? >> you think back to the obama years that you reference and we were in a world of hurt. they were downplaying the threat of militant islam donald trump came in as a very strong against isis but obviously much stronger on the border. if you look at where we are now after four years of biting we are in a way worse shape even

then we were under barack obama. part of it is because yes, they've had the border white open which we know our enemies are taking advantage of. then you had the approach from the national security apparatus and institutions like the fbi they almost think this islamic terrorism is so 2,022,001. somehow it's not a threat anymore. they have spent more resources going after nonviolent protesters on january 6. they focus a lot of attention on bei and they downplay the threat that islamic terrorism poses. it's a bit still very real. i would argue probably in the last decade it's a greater threat today than it has been in the last decade. >> of the same mentality in our country and many ways is destroying the will to survive. the idea woke us in him is at the department of defense that it is dhs it's in the di

department of justice, cia, there's no aspect of our government. law enforcement and intelligence is not been touched by this poisonous poison that promotes physical features, diversity and pronouns and men are women and women are men and transition and so forth for this is a poison destroying our ability to even think straight. >> are living through and misplaced priorities for the left is use these institutions which then go to work under reagan the department of justice was revered. you think about the department of defense i served in iraq as a naval officer. we revered these institutions. the left has really hijacked to them they are using those institutions to promote their social agenda. the problem is that leftism is not good for the country it also takes their e her eye off the bl

military leader lethal force being able to defend the country. that is how you deter threats. should be focusing on its core mission of enforcing the laws against bad people. they've taken the lead since 911 and counterterrorism. i can tell you in florida, this is something left to grapple with because they are not very cooperative with the local officials. they'd say they take care of terrorism but they have not been as serious about that as in the past. even in the intelligence agencies used in the woke mind virus run amok. with president trump coming back in to get the institutions focus on the mission that they were created to do and actually do the work of protecting the american people. we are in a big hole right now the last four years have been

about as bad as a period of presidential lack of leadership that we have had in my lifetime but i was born at the end of jimmy carter's term i was a biden is in a lot worse than president carter. mark: government will we come back there's things we can do the job violate economic freedom and free speech. there are things we can do about the internet. there are things we can do that we simply are not doing. and so when we come back i would ask you this question. why doesn't this administration have the resolve to protect the american people? the undermined cops. look at what they've done at the border. with federal law enforcement and what is this? is it some kind of insanity? some kind of a sickness? we will be right back.

>> governor desantis. welcome back america. i am perplexed. when you are a father you will do anything to protect your wife and your children. you are the military you will do anything to protect your country you are the commander-in-chief. you are the president of the united states you're doing everything possible terrorists are coming across the board at venice when gangs are coming across the border. criminals, rapists, murderers. the support for the police is weak. federal law enforcement is distracted with the preposterous priorities and so forth. what kind of mentality is this? even instinctively he run for president of the united states to become commander-in-chief free o.all of these responsibils you accept hippy it is a mind virus that causes them to put ideology ahead of actual common sense and tried and true principles you think about it there's a lot of opportunities to right the ship.

i know it you'll see on january 20 president trump issue a series of executive orders. he'll be really strong on the border. i think you have an opportunity at these universities. go back 20 years how many foreign students were coming in 20 years ago? a lot less. they have had a big explosion including from countries that hate the united states of america. nobody has a right to come here. if you come here making common cause with hamas they simply revoke the visa and send the students home. they should not be taking u.s. tax dollars and underwriting universities that are dedicated to promoting ideological anti- american indoctrination. generally 20th gives us a chance to right the ship there's a lot of tools at the disposal. but i will tell you been asleep at the switch as a country and now it's time to wake up. quickly things can be debt you reach into academia. republican governors and state

legislators that do next to nothing. they are giving hundreds of millions of dollars a in collegs and universities who hire these faculty members who are as close to actual terrorist as you can imagine in many instances that were celebrating october 72 hate this country it is incestuous. tthe keep hiring each other they get protection. these republican governors and legislatures have an obligation to since most money that go into these universities and colleges comes from the states why is it you are able to do that sort of thing they just won't do it. >> i know it over t went over tt when we do it. to provide a roadmap for other states all tenured professors in florida must now undergo a review every five years and can

be terminated for poor performance but where the first university system in america to eliminate de eye diversity equity and inclusion which is really discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination. our view is we are fennec these universities with our tax dollars we have a right to insist they are serving the interests of the state of florida. for us that means they are not about indoctrination it's a classical mission of the university. we are really promoting academic excellence in preparing our students to beat citize be citie republic. you can do it requires some elbow grease. you're going to get some blowback. you've got to be comfortable with that. but it can be done we've got more at were going to do and florida. but for too long we let universities run amok the columbia university it is the logical culmination of this way

of thinking. >> terrorism of free speech support for terrorism isn't free speech faculty position is not a god given right. there are so many things i think you're right president trump is going to change all of that but the states at the kick into gear to. we are going to get more mass murders taking place in this country more violence, or anti- jew anti-semitism coming going on in this country for people who are in the position to stand up don't stand up to governorate desantis it's a great pleasure to be a citizen and a resident of your state thank you and god bless you my friend. >> happy new year. mark: happy new year. we will be right back. my name is brayden. i was five years old when i came to st. jude. i'll try and shorten down the story. so i've been having these headaches

something happened the other day which was astonishing. basically a command for war and no one's talking about it. which also gives the president xi the opportunity to save no one cares, look at me i can go ahead and take taiwan. he announced they're going to take taiwan and there is not anybody can do about it. gordon chang senior fellow one of my favorite in situ sprit a tremendous a book plant read china's project to destroy america amazon.com. gordon chang, he made this announcement no one said anything including the biden regime. >> yes and a lot of what he said just ain't true. for instance he said history would next taiwan. i do not think so as time progresses china is getting weaker receive from its crumbling economy that is true. also the people in taiwan are developing an identity that separate from china.

in a recent pew research survey, 67% of the people on the island said they were primarily taiwanese. only 3% said chinese. in the younger age cohorts 18 -- 24 the numbers were 83% taiwanese, 1% chinese. she she and ping knows that. that's wha why keeps on talking about inevitability because it is not inevitable. that's why he has to say it is. mark: and got a big military if they decide to attack taiwan, there's going to be a massive devastation at a minimum. he does have the capacity to take over the geography appeared to take over the island. not perhaps the culture. and so i wanted to ask you this. what historic claim does china have over what was, i've been looking into this a little i cannot find any. what historic claim to the even

have to taiwan? >> they don't have much of a claim at all. the cheating dynasty ruled taiwan for eight years they called it a providence of china and they secethey seceded it to. they were considered foreigners by the chinese. he ruled the island but never got indisputable sovereignty to it because a sa the san franciso treaty of 1951 which is settled most of the world war ii claims in asia did not confirm sovereignty on him. taiwan has not been part of china and the chinese keep on saying it is they say it is from time and memorial but of course it's not because history does not support them. >> a modern date taiwan has never been part of china. i don't care if you look at the dynasties of the past of the communist regime in the last half-century. it is a another land grab just as they are trying to grab islands off of japan just as

they are grabbing islands from the philippines. just as they are grabbing navigable waters in vietnam for just as their threat in the coastline of south korea. just as they are threatening the coastline of australia. just as they claim ownership of the south china sea. doesn't this sound like a country and a maniac leaving leading a country whether they has the capacity or not? who has grand intentions that could bring the whole world into a state of war? >> yes he's already waging proxy wars on three continents in europe and ukraine, and africa in the northern portions and of course in israel because he is backing a run. he is threatening more in east asia. there has never been a more ambitious in grass or in history. xi jinping is pushing the imperial court emperors believe they not only have the mandate of having to rule what they call all under heaven but haven't compelled them to do so. xi jinping has been pushing the notion since 2017 that moon and

mars are sovereign chinese territory. here's a guy who believes literally all under heaven. >> here's a guy who tolerates no opposition. defense secretary to defend disappears intelligence literacy disappears deputy premier as he disappears former chairman of the communist party. so he does not tolerate anybody or anything that disagrees with him. when we come back, gordon chang, donald trump is really onto something with the panama canal, isn't it? he did build that canal and did take us long time to build that we lost almost 40000 american citizens. jimmy carter gave it back to panama for 1 dollar with the vote of the senate. ronald reagan ran against jimmy carter but one things he said as we built it, that belongs to us. donald trump is saying excuse me, we built it, it belongs to us. you are abusing our ships and more than that the communist
