♪. mark: hello america i am mark levin and this is "life, liberty & levin" saturday to great guest this evening representati repree johnson the speaker of the house the attorney extraordinaire jon yoo. before we go there democrat party has really revealed itself, has in it? it supports every inch of the bureaucracy and every penny of fraud, waste, and abuse. that is their position if contributed nothing to this debate. they propose nothing to be cut. they're not doing anything in a bipartisan fashion. they are singing songs, union songs from the 1930s. they're showing up at bureaucratic facilities acting like a bunch of homeless people. i do not know i guess they think that works but here is the truth. the truth is for them it is not waste, fraud and abuse i want you to listen very carefully.

it's not the administrative state is not the swamp. listen, for them, this is a government within a government. they have created this edifice this subterranean government within a government and they intend to defend it. this money that is being spent we see is a waste, fraud and abuse they see as a lifeline to their ideology, to their power they spent 80 years building it and they have no intention of giving it up easily and neither do the media or the rest of their surrogates. it is eight subterranean government within a government. it's belbelow the massive bureat works in secret. it's immune protected and for it's a great, great french politician i want you to listen to this sentence.

when plunder becomes a way of life or a group of men in a society, this is the ruling class in washington d.c. over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes any moral code that glorifies it. you watch liberals, liberals on cable and elsewhere say look at donald trump. he was sick at the food program, that food program. ladies and judgment that that is the first tier of the bureaucracy. donald trump is not cutting back. he is cutting the secret tier. the government within the government. they keep flashing around the other tier. no, no, no it's a government within the government. that's what they are talking about the subterranean government. we have a gao report the government accountability office. stay with me on this. this came out a few months ago they put up this report and congress had it. and the president had it, and the media had it and most of you never heard about it. listen to this, fraud risk

management 2018 -- 2022 that period of time show federal government loses an estimated 233 billion to $521 billion every single year. that's a quarter of a trillion to half a trillion dollars every single year to fraud based on various risk environments. listen to me, we've got to get her capitalist right our brains write fright for the democrats e left, for the self-perpetuating bureaucracy this is not fraud. this is a waste and it is abuse. it is routine. this is how they want to operate. this is their money. and by the way they push their ideological agenda. that is what it is for. so, for them it's not fraud, waste, abuse paid for them it is a lifeline. a quarter of a trillion to half a trillion dollars in this secret government activity. here are the daily caller from this past september this is a

past september the biden/harris administration will have made over $1 trillion in improper payments by the time biden leaves office according to a report released by open the books. an improper payment as a disbursement may be the government to the wrong person in the wrong amount. or for the wrong reason for federal guidelines that biden/hairstyling between 2021 and 2023 oversaw over $800 billion, nearly a trillion dollars in such payments after adjusting for inflation according to the open the book's organization. and again, they don't care. this is an immune government within a government that has hundreds of billions trillions of dollars over time to lord over you. to control you, to push their woke gives him to push their ideology to affect foreign policy they are everywhere, they are ubiquitous. and now donald trump, elon musk and his crew they have found it.

they have found it. they have uncovered what usaid or any of these other departments whether it's the treasury, the social security administration, it is massive. it is under the radar. this is why there aren't hearings. this is why gao puts out the reports and no one cares. this is why in organizations as a way to meant they're wasting a trillion dollars. it's not wasting it is necessary to them. look at this. elon musk in the crew, and two weeks time 50 -- $100 billion reports on town hall, each year that is how much is already been identified by the white house as a department of government efficiency for a review of treasury payments is likely fraud. this amount is nothing more than identifying how much is paid monthly to recipients who don't have a social security number or other government identification attached to their files. doge had elon mu that elon muskd based upon work done today there

is approximately $1 trillion in fraud, waste and abuse just like the watchdog group in the system that can be identified and prevented. took two weeks of analyzing government payment systems to make this incredible announcement. all right, let's talk about the constitution because we are told those who were digging into this finding out what is taking place, begging the pots and pans trying to address it trying to cut the waste, fraud, abuse, they have created a constitutional crisis don't you know. article one is congress article two is the president and executive article three is the judiciary which only creates the supreme court congress creates the rest of the courts with a signature by the president. the massive bureaucracy identified in our constitution it does not exist. the fourth branch of government, not a single one of the cabinet departments on a single federal employee, none of it. it's all a creation of congress for judicial review? look at the courts are all over the place. where is that in the constitution? nowhere.

there is no federal district courts. where do we get judicial review from? somebody's got to make decisions. it was decided by the supreme court that the supreme court will make decisions in a case called marbury versus madison. so in all of this in the constitution we have congress and we have a president bring the president is in charge of the executive branch. or is he? congress appropriates funds but that power has limits. you believe it if you listen to the propaganda in their certain limits on congress' power to appropriate. the judiciary the power to run the federal government? and the various agencies, hr and all the rest? no it does not. it is called separation of powers congress has a lane, the judiciary has a lane. the executive has a lien for the executive branch. who is the executive branch? what is it? it's the president of the united states. he and his advice at present are the only people elected by the entire body politics through the

electoral college. judges are unelected members of congress and the districts are from their states he is it. this executive branch belongs the president of the united states. really. we are being told today that he cannot act without congressional approval. he cannot act without the courts giving their approval. wait a minute. i thought we had to separation of powers? wait a minute, word of this bureaucracy come from? doesn't the president and chief executive of some power over personnel? doesn't have the power to offer severance? does he approach look at data in a department? does any of the po conduct audits and reviews question of destiny have the power to set policy with respect to the executive branch? no, according to the democrats. according to these activist judges, the left-wing judges. no, he does not have any power he has to sit and watch. except if you want to expand the power of the bureaucracy. if he wants to increase

spending. whether the court to say yes or no whether congress says yes or no it does not matter. we have to continue to fund what? the subterranean government. we have to continue to subsidize what? democrat party constituency groups their ideologies, their front organizations. they are at the present has no limitations how do we know? because joe biden violated at least three supreme court decisions. even when it came to student loan forgiveness. that was not a constitutional crisis now was a ladies and gentlemen? no, no, no when he violated immigration laws left and right to open our borders, that was not a constitutional crisis was a ladies and gentlemen? no, no, no when he ordered big corporations to insist their employees have vaccinations using some obscure osha regulation in the supreme court said you could not do that, but he did anyway. that was not a violation of the constitution wasn't ladies and gentlemen? when the democrats have attacked the electoral college when they attacked the independence of the supreme court. when they want to expand the

numbers of justices and pack with self identified ideologue. that is not a constitutional crisis, is in america? no it is not. when they were to count votes when elections are over, that is not a constitutional crisis, is in america? when the them to fundamentally transform america, which the constitution prevents, that is not a problem. when they push crt the 16th 19 project that have as at its core the statement, the position that the constitutions are legitimate. it is too old. it was written by a bunch of white slave owners. that it needs to be thrown out for yes we have this democrats want constitution completely rewritten. story after story democrats are waging war against the constitution. now, they waited around trump is violating the constitution. now, he is not violating a thing. the courts are out of control. congress is out of control print

the bureaucracy is out of control. he is trying to bring it back to center that is what he was elected to do it. look at these judges while. i want you to remember the judges we hold them on high like they are superhuman, really some of the worst human rights violations and crises occurred in this country as a result of our courts. perhaps you've heard of the dred scott decision issued in 1857. black people come i in and if ty are free could never be free citizens of the united states that is what the court said. no you have to abide by that decision don't you? no they had a civil war that said we are not buying that decision abraham lincoln said i am not buying that decision. should we have adhered to that decision ladies and gentlemen? that we have another decision at the end of the 1800s here we had civil war, we had all these events taking place. plessy versus ferguson. what was that all about? simply separate but equal is a what many blacks are not equal. should we be abiding by that

decision ladies and gentlemen? it took more than half a century for brown versus board of education to reverse that per the court to reverse itself was that okay? no it wasn't okay. how about that decision during world war ii the big fdr courts. the progressive courts. when they rounded up 120,000 japanese americans and americans of japanese descent and sent them to concentration camps and stole their property was that a court decision? yes was that a good one? i don't think so. you mean the courts can be wrong? yes, they can be wrong. yes. flesh and blood these judges. if you have radical judges appointed by biden and clinton and obama, or trump hating judges some of them republicans. some in seattle or washington d.c. they can be driven by doctrines, by ideology by politics they are not supposed to be driven by. so far they found the cdc had to

add the language back to its website. what is the judge get the power to do that question are prevented access to treasury department data supporting audits. where does a judge get that power? that is the executive branch i thought we had separation of powers here. hold up severance for employees but back and said maybe he can do that that's nice, judge. what else did they do? well, 60 days trumpets or freezes spending biden was putting out the door for radical groups and programs and so forth. he can't do that. why can't he? because i said so i'm a judge. florida withholding funds for foreign subsidies this just happened the other day. why? where does he get the authority to do that he has no authority to do that. prevented an order from the trump administration that says biological males transitioning or not are going to be in prison with biological males we have a judge in washington d.c., an old reagan judge who said that's a constitutional issue but no it's not that we had another judges

said this administration is not going to spend money to support operations, medical changes for the genitalia of children for thperthe judge said you cannot o that. so who is running the executive branch? congress? the courts? the president's not allowed to run the executive branch? or he's a dictator and there's a constitutional crisis, really? hr, data processing the federal prisons and decisions about who and cannot get funds for sex changes. that is not the presidents business. they call that a constitutional crisis. i want to tell you a constitutional crisis. sanctuary cities whether sanctuary cities? sanctuary cities are throwback to the confederacy. what you mean, mark? the civil war began apart from states nullifying federal law. what is a century city? it's a city and state nullifying federal law pray that it's what they are doing. too old, two white constitution

needs to be front except when it's used to trump who is now going after this subterranean government. he is supposed to be the head of the ruling class but he is supposed to support the ruling class but he is supposed to allow all this waste, fraud, and abuse to take place. but he says no. finally, what's in appropriation we keep hearing congress appropriates. so if congress appropriates money for fraud, waste and abuse, is the president required to spend it? or if congress appropriates money an in such a nebulous and ambiguous way the unelected bureaucracy which is now housed under the president of the united states, is the head of the executive he is a bureaucrats and bureaucracies. where he says no i need to dig into this and find out how much thathere is imported into it hes not allowed to do that? you know, we call distant legal terms, bs. that is what it is.

not all funds operated by congress our constitution. it creates this bureaucracy. how is that constitutional court said it's constitutional. that does not make it constitutional, does it? judicial review, or did they get rich judicial review question whethey claimed for itself. i am actually going back to the constitution not supreme court decisions or more recent, no, no. congress does not have a free check for the courts do not have a free check but they have created this massive bureaucracy and they put it in the executive branch. our biggest legislature is in the executive branch what happened to separation of powers? the only one who apparently is not allowed to control it, to oversee its is the president of the united states. the only official who is elected by all of the people of the united states is the one who is not allowed to look at it. let alone control it. he is not allowed to reduce the

number of employees let alone oversee them. he is not allowed to make policy decisions about all of the things that are under him at gs 13 can. especially if they are appointed by trump but everybody else has a say except him. now, that would be a real constitutional crisis, wouldn't it? yes it would. so this government within a government is doing everything that it can to defend itself. it is spending trillions of dollars without your knowledge. donald trump, elon musk and his crew are revealing it and trying to do something about it. they deserve one 100% support because this has never been done before. not since woodrow wilson and the early progresses also known as american marxists through franklin roosevelt, through lyndon johnson, through obama, clinton, biden, and up to this

day they have gotten away with it. they've gotten away with it. but, it is a new day. there is a new sheriff in a deputy sheriff. they may be public enemy number one and number two, to the entrenched ruling class but they are not to us. they are heroes. i will be righ here's to getting better with age. here's to beating these two every thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need, and the flavor you love. so, here's to now... now available: boost max!

♪ ♪. mark: welcome back america. here's our friend mike johnson speaker of the house. just a general question to begin with. the vast majority of one or two. lisa phonic is about to become the ambassador to the united nations it's my understanding governor hochul is trying to do everything she can with a super majority democrats in albany. to prevent you from replacing that seat until the next election. >> will find out soon there's a lot going on in albany we are very concerned about it. that would be disenfranchising seven to 50000 new yorkers who live in that district, if they were to keep it open until the fall. they would be doing that obviously to try to keep our majority as razor thin as

possible. it is unfair looks like open political corruption but they seem to not care in new york. mark: thought they were the party of democracy i guess i've been misled for half a century. mr. speaker, my question to you is this. with the republicans in the house of representatives, surely they see the dire situation we are facing. they see president trump is fighting mightily. when it comes to spending, taxing and the debt, is there pretty much a unification going on within the republican party as the various disagreements are being worked out? or is that still a process underway? >> is a long process any time you have 218 people to contend with all the various ideas and interests, it is a challenge when you have a margin of one or two votes. but, we will get there. i can tell you every single republican in the house and the senate have the same object if we want to deliver on the america first agenda that president trump campaigned on and that we campaigned on and

all of its components. the weight we get there as it takes a long deliberative process. why? want to extend the tax cuts we have two of you and i know if we don't have the largest tax increase in u.s. history the end of this year with all of those expire. the challenge we have is to do that cost about four and half trillion dollars. when people who want to make sure we do that responsibly and make sure we bring about a pro growth economy again the details of doing all of that, we have a very ambitious agenda. i believe the one big beautiful build the president i keep talking about i believe could be the most consequential piece of legislation and many decades for the country. so, to get it right and get the various provisions correct just takes a lot of time but we will get there. i'm excited about a very optimistic about the outcome. what's only ask about the party led by hakeem jeffries.

it seems like they're waiting for an invitation to the ever knock on the door say we have some ideas for cutting spending? we have ideas for cutting hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and waste. hey, we have a general accountability office from a few months ago that says half a trillion dollars a year is being wasted. mr. speaker we want to assist you in this effort. you ever get a knock on the door that says anything like that? >> i have not gotten that knock and that's very disappointing. who have the same concerns that most, their conscience would tell them that it is wrong to engage in waste, fraud, abuse of that at the federal government level. something tha we shall be fightg against. but, they have an allergic knee jerk reaction to almost anything president trump and elon musk and the cabinet members are suggesting. it becomes i an irrational thing they are flailing about the democratic party is no identified leader but they have no vision.

their platform has been soundly rejected by the american people and they seem to not know what to do. so, when it comes out as as a lashing back against the agenda what we are doing. think of it i talked with them monday of this last week i met with him for an hour he's in the secretary of war room the old secretary of war room in the eisenhower building but we lack how appropriate that is. he's declared war on the deep state and the bureaucracy. yet democrats out having rallies to stop him. he is identifying and allowing us to cut out fraud, waste and abuse how can the be against that? it is irrational is going to work against them and to think the american people are watching this very closely. mark: it sounds like they'd taken a very firm position and for fraud, waste, abuse and take a very firm position they don't care 50 to $100 billion is lost every year end social security. they've taken a firm position, so what? a quarter of actuator half a trillion dollars is lost every single year. my contention is, mr. speaker,

they don't care. it funds a government within a government that pushes the ideology. i think that is what is going on. 7 million us businesses rely on tiktok to compete. within a week of posting, i had over $25,000 in sales. i don't have a million dollars to put towards marketing and branding. tiktok was the way and it saved my company. we had a video do really good this week. sales were up 29%. about 80% of my business right now is from tiktok. small businesses thrive on tiktok. tiktok brings in so much foot traffic. i need tiktok to keep growing. we have so much more work to do.

have gone on tv and now they've been pulled back. it looks like they are trying to lay a trap for you folks, you republicans in the house and senate. they are trying to lay a trap for donald trump. but will this trap work since they're outspoken about if you cut waste, fraud and abuse we will shut down the government? first of all it's not only insane but politically wise and you think we will get away with it? >> they are trying to lay a trap. some of them are they have said it publicly but shutting the government down will be very irresponsible and every other scenario they decry that as it terribaterribly irresponsible so take. but again they are desperate they're going to try to do anything they can to stop president trump and all of the efficiencies we are bringing into government. you're going to continue to negotiate in good faith part of our brokers are working around the clock to come up with the top line number that will get the appropriations done and do it in due course. we have a deadline coming up on march 14 we are watching very closely. we are very helpful they do not

pushes into a cr situation or something else but we'll see how it develops there's a lot of game get to be played. i wish it was not a game. i wish everybody would come to the table or democrat colleagues and do the right thing. but again they are grasping at straws right now they are calling for a weapons in the streets for they have declared war they are at these rallies sing the most outrageous things. they just rolled h roll their sp and work with us we could do this in a bipartisan fashion but that doesn't seem what they are going to do. >> it seems like the f word is a persuasive word out there in america they were dropping the f bomb left and right as they sit sing their 1930s union songs in front of these decrepit old bureaucratic buildings or don't have too many bureaucrats in there. because they are supported or working from home. let me ask you this question mr. the senate republican leadership and so forth with dealing in getting this through?

that media has been trying to divide us, they're trying to divide republicans against themselves an meet regularly wih leader soon we have the greater challenge in our chamber they recognize that there's a bait about one versus two bill strategy all evaporate do not take any issue with anybody about that. we all have exactly the same mission, the same objective there are different ideas on how to get there till my senate colleagues and got to trust me and the house. we've have 165 additional personalities to deal with on our side. we have a more diverse caucus because we have people from very different parts of the country with very different interest. at the end of the day we are going to deliver the america first agenda. we are going to deliver the mandate we see the light at the end of the tunnel and we are

going to get their due course. >> i want to ask you another question related to elon musk. they turn him into this bogeyman. they love multi billionaire george soros who has used various mentalities of the government true work acquire radio stations who spends tens of billions of dollars throughout the years he and his son influencing our government to insinuate themselves in governmental decisions. to elec elected prosecutors refd to prosecute and so forth. that is their sugar daddy. that is their guy. when it comes to elon musk they aluminum criminally investigated. they don't believe he has any role anything and so forth and so on. they see this as complete hypocrisy? complete hypocrisy. what he is doing in the opening monologue. this is a heroic effort. he is bring common sense and transparency and sunlight to the

federal government. to the bureaucracy what many refer to as the deep state. just on monday night at office what you're doing what you are covering. the small federal government doeisclosely monitored for heavy oversight the challenge we have had in recent decades these representatives have not been able to do that job well. the deep state and the bureaucracy is not turned over the data. they would not give us the information we were receiving we did not know all this because it was hidden elon is hidden. is an inside the belly of the beast he is unavailing and revealing all these things we knew intuitively were happening but we did not have evidence. this is a game changer it's

truly revolutionary. were going to restore through this process the federal and government the intent of the founders for that is a big government socialist liberals and democrat party apoplectic because they are freight afraidt the final result of this will be. it's very exciting for the people. >> you are so right you love the country love the constitution. you love small ar our republicam each of these guys on mr. speaker thank you for all you're doing and god bless you my friend. >> thank you mark, good to be from recent grads... ♪ ...to rising stars... ♪ ...to living legends. - you got this. - thank you. vanguard retirement solutions. fifty years of helping investors be well on their way to their financial goals. nice to meet ya.

later to try and undermine the federal constitution and divide the country. nullifying federal law madison and others came out and denounced it. when we have governors and mayors and democrat states saying we are a sanctuary city we are going to defy the position of the federal government when it comes to immigration deportation we have some like aoc doing it and so forth. is this not nullification of the confederacy kind? >> yes, mark, you're exactly right. you thought this was settled by the civil war or at least by the civil rights movement. states are not allowed to interfere, harass, impede federal law enforcement when they are carrying out legitimate duties. one of the core duties of the federal government is to protect our borders and to manage immigration. the supreme court has repeatedly said this is not an area for the states. this is exclusive.

it's one of the highest responsibilities of the federal government. so when you se sea see it state governors and state and city mayors saying we are going to hide illegal aliens. we are going to in fact release convicted murderers from prison and then not tell the federal government where they are so they cannot apprehend them and move them from the country which i think everyone should agree is the highest priority. then you have state officers trying to prevent federal law enforcement from doing their job just like i hate to say it in the civil rights movement you saw southern segregationist governors, southern segregationist and mayors trying to prevent the federal government from ensuring equal rights of african-americans. and just as you said bring all the background to the founding as you did. you saw people who wanted to defend slavery tried to prevent the federal government from performing its constitutional legal duties. >> nullification the modern democrat party is using the tool

of the slave south of the confederacy. i want americans understand that. let's go on the keep talking about a constitutional crisis than they would know one since they are in the middle of them all of the time. the electoral college even the states with smaller populations would have a say in the government. it was set up to bring harmony to the entire process so if you metropolitan areas would not control the country and now they seek to destroy the electoral college that would be the party that says they're defending the constitution pray they want to destroy the electoral college but what happens if they succeed in destroying the electoral college? >> i think you are right. they are sent constitutional crisis when all president trump is doing with his executive orders and going to court is that regular workings of the separation of powers who must overturn the constitution? i think progressives who want to get rid of the electoral college so the whole country the whole

presidency is just decided by 10 cities. they want to pack the senate. they want to add new states to the senate to unbalance it. you want to pack the supreme court they want to add president biden. other progressives want to add six or eight new justices because they do not wake up like the way the supreme court is making his decision. so who really poses a threat to the constitutional order? i don't think it's donald trump or jd vance who are against fighting about the separation of powers as the american voters wanted them too. it's people on the left who keeps talk about changing the way the constitution works. because they do not like the result. >> they attacked the men who wrote it. they tear down their statues they push an ideology whether to 1619 project or crt or all of the rest of it and text the heart of our founding and so forth and so on their teaching this in our schools today. when we come back john yoo, the

mark: welcome back america. we are here with john yoo we have a number of federal judges who by the way are not in the constitution for they were created by congress for his

judiciary asked. trying to tell the man who is in the constitution, the president of the united states, how to run the executive branch. what ever happened to separation of powers? these are unelected judges they do not exist in the constitution for judicial review is out of the constitution at the implied power versus madison avenue judges making decisions after the president on human resources, on audits, data collection, on spending policies within spending bills. decisions about whether or not his administration should be supporting transgender operations for children and so forth and so on. one unelected federal judge after another. let's be honest they are just lawyers in black robes, right? saying know what my opinion is this. my opinion is this. they're not even referencing the constitution of the united states when they do it. what do you make of this? >> these district judges are acting beyond the proper scope of the authority in numerous

ways. first, we have a president who just won a resounding victory. the american people want him to take action. if anybody earned the constitution is supposed to limit what president trump is doing, it's not the courts, it is congress. most of what president trump is doing is related too as you said the internal management of the executive branch. when to cut down on positions we don't need anymore. were going to find ways to save money. that's not the job of the courts to interfere in the way the president at the head again the electoral college at the head of the mandate is trying to run the executive branch. that is up to congress. the reason why congress is not doing anything you have a party of power in congress agrees with president trump. so these individual judges and carefully chosen jurisdictions like rhode island or boston they are trying to stop the entire

federal government. the entire nation for pursuing those policies the president and congress agree on. now these judges are not allowed to extend these injunctions i think all throughout the country. they might be able to say okay president trump i disagree or cut off funding for some shelter in rhode island. they do not have the power to set you have to restore all grants, all spending go back to business as usual but i'm going to order you to open up the treasury and spend money you do not want to put this is not just my view i don't think it's your view this is the view of several justices on the supreme court they have called for the supreme court to take up the issue and they have in the next few months and discipline the trial judges. you don't have the right to stop the entire federal government for moving forward on the agenda athat the president and congress agree on outside the confines of your little courtroom. >> just to underscore your point there's hundreds of these federal district judges in every state when you add them all

together what's happening is these democratic attorneys in general the unions and others are bringing cases in these heavy democrat districts were a lot of these judges are, you mentioned in rhode island, massachusetts, washington state, washington d.c., new york for the not bringing them in kansas are not bringing them in peoria, illinois this is where they are bringing them for the getting the judges they want pretty much these judges think they can put in an injunction for the whole country even though that is never been the case and they do not have that power. it is time john roberts the supreme court put the foot that you mentioned justices clarence thomas is been very vocal about how these judges are opera opee where outside their authority. so there is a constitutional crisis is due to the democrats is due to the leftists. i want to thank you always so
