9:01 pm
>> hello america i'm mark levin this is life liberty and evin sunday thanks for being here newt gingrich and senator tom cotton before we get to them now let me tell you why i do this show. my favorite movie since i was a little guy -- is patton, and at the opening of patton george gives a speech. and something stuck in my head for all of these decades when i was a young kid all the way to now. the phrase he said was glory is fleeting. glory is fleeting you know sometimes people can be on tv or radio or other forms of entertainment and they get big heads. and they do it because they want big, big ratings, they do it because they want to be rxzed when they walk down the street i can promise you this.
9:02 pm
that's not me. i don't care about any of that. it is not the way i was brought up and not the way i roll. but i'll tell ya how i do roll. this morning i was at a favorite local diner here in florida. and i know the waitresses, and they tend to be middle age, and quite friendly with all of the folks in there when i go in. and one in particularly came up to me and said, birthright citizenship i said yeah. my husband and i were having a debate and he was google birthright citizenship and he said the courts ruled that it's in the constitution and so forth. and i explained to him no read the 14th amendment. she said, jurisdiction is nothing to do with the fact of somebody is born in the united states of an alien or diplomat or what have you i said where did you get that from?
9:03 pm
she said you. i said got it from me? she said yeah. the other week you did a whole show on birthright citizenship. that's why i do this show. wonderful lady. just terrific. and when people come up to me and they tell the things like this that's what gives me the motivation and desire to do this program not the rest of it. not the rest of it. you'll notice i'm very focused in these monologues on trying to give you something that is substantive you're here on a sunday evening tonight, you want to wind down but you're here because wrowpght to learn something. you've already heard all of the comments all of the opinions -- over and over and over again i'm not here to be the final loop on sunday and to regouge at a time the same thing that's not why i'm here. i'm an activist. i am a writer. i like to think of myself as a
9:04 pm
thinker these things keep me up at night i like to think about them all the of the time and find solutions and work them out. that's whey hope i tbroing you that's why i do this program and i'm going to do same thing right now. sanctuary cities we talk about it all of the time sanctuary cities what's a sanctuary city what's a sanctuary senate state? they're illegal unconstitutional cities and states. the democrat party is in charge of sanctuary cities and sanctuary states. what does this mean? let's get into this. this is very important because it has to do with your lifestyle it has to do with what country you want to be they talk about a constitutional crisis, every constitutional crisis we have in this country has been caused by the far left and the democrat party and their courts and their elected officials. every single one. you and i, we are constitutional
9:05 pm
regionalists we hold up the constitution we said what does it say? what does that mean? what did the framers mean? what does the context of this language they don't do any of that. they wave it around while they're attacking. and the people who wrote it this means nothing to them. because how can you be a radical leftist a mark u.s. or islamist and give a damn about the constitution? you don't and they don't so much noise when they say it so we have article 1 section 8 congress has exclusive authority to what, quote, establish a uniform rule of naturalization unquote our constitution is written in a way where the federal government has given certain powers and rest of the powers are left to the states. it is called federalism it is the 10th amendment but powers that are given to the federal government unless said to be shared are plenty and in other words they're supposed to be few
9:06 pm
but they're powerful. so the constitution says that federal government's in charge of immigration. period. not aoc, not new york city, not san francisco, the federal government, the national government well mark what about texas and governor abbott? what were they doing when biden was president of the united states? they were actually upholding and enforcing federal immigration law. whereas joe biden was violating and should have been impeached for. not only violated a little part of the immigration loss he violated whole construct of our laws and latest slavery woman sold into sex slavery children and on and on and we've talked about it before is that humane? no it is not humane. our sanctuary cities and states humane no they're not humane look at what's taking place in the cities and states.
9:07 pm
but humane or not, that's not even the point. the constitution is the point. these people yell constitutional crisis whenever they don't get to advance their radical left wing agenda. so article one section 8 make it is abundantly clear, that even a left wing harvard law professor can understand. that congress has this power -- but what about the president? the president's been delegated authority. and a lot of authority under immigration laws under a federal law which i'll get to in a moment. so this isn't a federalism issue. it is not a 10th amendment issue. donald trump is president, the federal government makes immigration policy and is supposed to enforce the immigration laws. period. period. so what's with the states? and sanctuary cities and states -- it is called nullification i want you to remember that word. nullification. what's nullification?
9:08 pm
when local and state governments declare they will defy federal law or the federal constitution and this case federal immigration law. that they won't enforce it they will object it they'll october compliance with it and sabotage efforts by the federal government to enforce it and federal policies. and set themselves apart from the federal government. apart and above from the federal government they will decide in the city what immigration policy is. they will decide in a blue state what immigration policy is. that's nullification of federal law. which is utterly and completely destructive of our constitution. nullification is not only unconstitutional. it was used by the slave states starting with south carolina. in the leadup to the civil war to justify secession from the union see democrat party has not change all that much or characters have changed groups
9:09 pm
have changed. but the ideology is never changed the democrat party is a destructive party that's never embraced constitution not from its earliest days it is not only the party of slavery it is not only the party of segregation. it is not only the party of and party of jim crow or nullification all over again. a 160 years later, and in other words the slave states declared they could, would and did nullify federal law even the constitution and the confederacy was born. their argument was look, we states within our state will decide what part of the constitution applies or federal government is supplying properly you can change these so forth and so on but you can't declare them nullified. nullified. from one we have the supremacy clause. for two we have the entire construct of the constitution. powers are divided. we also have eight us c-section
9:10 pm
1182 they gave tots president broad authority to prevent aliens from entering the united states. it is a law. we also have eight us c-section 1373 that products local and state governments from banning the sharing of information about aliens and their legal status and whether they're criminals so forth and so on. federal law. so they're not only nullifying the construct of the constitution. the supremacy clause, they're also nullifying federal law. actually we have federal district courts that are good with this just as they're good with trying to control the executive branch where you have about a dozen of these knuckle head federal judges these lawyers in black robes many of whom are nothing more than bad lawyers in black robes. who are trying to sabotage and usurp president trump because
9:11 pm
he's afterall in the constitution we have what's called a president he was electedded by all of the people. an election of all of the people, and he's allowed to manage the executive branch. so the biden regime actually supported the acts of the sanctuary states and cities sabotaging the constitution and federal law from within. because that's the democrat party. so what's to stop local and state governments from nullifying all kinds of constitutional federal laws? what if a state says you know what, we're going nullify what the democrats did here we're going nullify this and not going to recognize that well why isn't that legitimate if it is for sanctuary cities? a little bit of history, for folks out there -- the nullification crisis of 1832 and '33 just a very short explanation. south carolina again, declared federal tariffs because they're cotton growing state tariffs
9:12 pm
high it was the way for feds to raise money there was no federal income tax. so they put these very heavy tariffs john quincy adams and first upheld by andrew jackson to make south carolina said we're not going abide by tariffs you're killing our economy we've decided within the state of south carolina that your law is to be nullified we're not telling other states what to do. we've just made that decision. president andrew jackson said this would lead to the breakup of the union. we can't have states going in 50 different directions. where we have a federal law that is legitimate and constitutional and some state decides they don't want to imagine if other states did that so they eventually reached a compromise and jackson was prepared to send army and into south carolina they actually passed a statute in congress called force act but they have a compromise. and they eafnl reduced amount of the tariffs on cotton and agriculture over a period of time but that was the
9:13 pm
predecessor to what would become nullification of a antislavery movements in the north. that was the predecessor to states nullifying their obligation to be part, part of the union. it was pretext to secession nullification. their type of sanctuary states. came back in the 1950s, opposition to desegregation after brawn versus board of education with the supreme court corrected its ferguson and brown versus board of education no separate but wasn't qawl we were wrong about that. so the court ruled in favor of desegregation or prefer de
9:14 pm
integration so they ruled again. he came to a head in arkansas governor orville who was a segregationist he called up the national guard to block black students you may have heard of that. president eisenhower said you don't get to nullify number one what happened after the civil war and number two the constitution number three a supreme court decision. so he sent active duty military down to little rock nationalized the national guard, and they walked those nine black students into that high school and protected them. that's what eisenhower did with the old democrat party. so this issue of states sovereignty and federal authority it's not always clear. there are debates. there's litigation and that's okay. but what is clear? is that the issue of nullification of sanctuary cities and sanctuary states is utterly and completely
9:15 pm
unconstitutional. it's settled by the construct of the constitution, supremacy clause, civil war, supreme court decisions with lower courts want to adhere to it or not every single city and state i want you to look at the list of the states and the cities and the towns that have self-declared nullification from the federal constitution. just like the confederacy, that they are going to prevent they're going to object they're gong slow walk do whatever they can to undermine ability to enforce our federal immigration laws under which the constitution gives plenty power to the federal government. and in which the president is responsible for overseeing and executing the entire sanctuary movement. and it is a attempt to nullify the constitution federal law is a throwback to the confederacy.
9:16 pm
it is a throwback to the days of slavery and segregation. to today -- to the days of slavery due to democrat party open border policies that took place and they're horrendous inhumane consequences so my point is this, old democrat party -- the party that confederacy has never died sure its issues have changed. the groups have changed. but the ideology has not. see the democrat party is never embraced americanism. it is never embraced the constitution. they don't embrace americanism and the constitution well they keep lecturing us about americanism and constitution don't listen to what they say watch what they do. and what they do is damnable. some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking allstate first. okay, let's get going. can everybody see that? like you know to check your desktop first, before sharing your screen. ahh...uhhh. no, that, uhhh.
9:17 pm
9:20 pm
mark: welcome back america here with former speaker of the house dear buddy newt gingrich of the democrat party what the hell does this party stand for anymore other than anti-americanism anti-constitutionalism, they seem to be profraud and waste and abuse, and i mean what does this party stand for other than they're trying to stop american progress?
9:21 pm
>> well look i think they're actually three democratic parties. there is a woke hard left party which is actually a religion. they can't negotiate they can't compromise, they can't deal with reality because they basically are religious fanatics with transgerundism as being a key part of their church. the second part of the democratic party is just plain corrupt, it is chicago it's the jill state government it is large parts of california. these are people that teachers union these are people who are desperate for your money and if they don't have the taxpayer funding them they're going to go broke and be out of business. then there's a third part a tiny sliver of actual competent practical people who like to serve the country and those three parts, i think, find it impossible to come together and trying to deal with president trump and with maga and so you have a party that's mired down the noisiest part is the
9:22 pm
religious group of who believe fanatically in values that about 80 to 85%th of the american people repudiate that's a key part of what's going on. >> and republicans then have a real opportunity don't they donald trump -- obviously, the president chief executive he brings in elon musk he brings in really a very -- powerful cabinet to not just stir things but change things in a significant way. and the response of the democrat party really isn't to offer any alternatives. it's to act a bunch of drug addicts in the street singing yelling using the f-bomb left and right. they've comp with absolutely no proposals for the government because they don't want any proposals for this goth they're talking about shutting down the government because they're angry while they claim they're will to protect the government. what do you make of all of that? >> look we're living through a
9:23 pm
genuine revolution it is important to recognize that. while all republicans have done so far is they've earned a ticket to the dance. now we have to dance. but if president trump is successful, this is the end of their world. after 90 year of the roosevelt machine after effortses of the left to make america radically different, after all of the efforts to bribe and corrupt big cities teachers unions, et cetera. if trump succeeds, they are all gone. and so what you're see is sort of a paroxysm of rage because they're terrified they don't know how to deal with it frankly he will have done more in his first month than roosevelt did in a hundred days. it is the most aggressive revolutionary presidency in modern times. and it is a mortal threat to all of the folk who is you have singing using the f word because they don't know what to do they're just totally bewildered
9:24 pm
an they're watching the country move towards trump as a pull out now that 54% approve of what elon musk is doing. and the country believes that the government's big fat bloated wasteful corrupt and trying to impose radical values. so the country is kind of most of the country not all of it but most of the countries kind of cheering what's happening with the trump administration. mark: isn't it possible newt beginning gingrich it can take a houseful of republicans in the senate to partly derail what he wants to do on tax cuts and other reforms, i mean, it is absolutely crucial isn't it that the republican party every aspect of it every faction of it, every member of it at least for once at least for a hundred days -- to be united and get behind this man and help him push this across the finish line -- no? >> i work back from the 2026 election.
9:25 pm
because if we keep the house and we can -- there are 13 seats held by democrats the trump carried there are another 21 seats held by in thes where got within 5%. so we could actually like franklin roosevelt we could pick up seats in the off year. the only way to do that is to have an economic boom. the only way to do that is so pass one, big beautiful bill by the end of the may or beginning of june. unfortunately it is not necessarily ideological, but there are republicans in the congress who don't realize that a revolutionary president requires a revolutionary congress. they've got to somehow grow beyond it is a little bit like they've got so used to fighting biden. that they haven't sort of clicked their brain over and said oh -- i now have somebody i'm for and i need to work to be part of a positive team so there's some of them unfortunately are still stuck in a value structure that
9:26 pm
made perfect sense if you're fighting joe biden. but it is really destructive that you have trump as president. and i think over the next 60 days, we have to work out a series of changes and some of these republicans frankly are really tied to old rules, i mean, for example, the congressional budget office is a joke. the number of off by a trillion dollars -- is just wild. and if you were to apply elon musk rule and i think musk has to go visit the congressional budget office i think the congress ought to require the bureaucrats to come up and explain their formulas no more black boxes. you owe it to the american people tell us how you reach judgments because the congressional budget office will screw up trump's bill if they possibly can -- because they're bureaucratic left win source these are changes we have to have one other example -- if elon musk saves 500 billion to a trillion dollars, that ought to count and
9:27 pm
reconciliation bill if we're actually saving the money, then a practical revolutionary congress would say, you know, yeah. we get to count that. mark: when we come back, what about this judicial tyranny at the trump court level that's what it is. the judges who think they should be running executive branch basically lawyers and black robes weren't elected to anything and don't represent anybody. we'll be where does the time go? where does the time go? until this week,

9:32 pm
mark: welcome back america newt gingrich we have another branch of government under article 3 federal district courts that aren't in article 3 congress created them. who feel like they're in charge of every single decision president trump makes. whether he wants to looking at certain data at the treasury department what he wants to give a severance pay whatever he wants to do cut foreign aid so forth, and we're told that it is he who is violating separation of powers. what in the hell are federal judges doing running hr in the executive branch? >> well look the american revolution number two demand after no taxation without representation. it was to control the judges. the americans were furious that the judges had become instruments of the king's power not providers of justice well guess what, the way you have is an old dying establishment
9:33 pm
fighting its last minute resistances, and these liberal judges are part of that. and when i ran for president in 2012 i issued a 20 plus page paper outlining that we need to get the judges under control and that if you look at the constitution, if you read for example, alexandria hamilton's argument that the system only works with a strong, vigorous executive, the founding fathers will be appalled to have a local judge to decide to interpose to use a introduction between the president of the united states elected by whole country and a specific action and the founding fathers would have said those kind of judges frankly should be impeached kicked out of office, and replaced by people who have respect for the constitutional limitations. i think it is absolutely ridiculous to have some local district judge think that he rather than the president has been selected by the american
9:34 pm
people to decide for example, how to run health and human services. it is a total violation of the constitution by the judges. mark: amazing this violation of the constitution it's pretty much one way the democrat party this bureaucracy -- which republicans have contributed to but it is the democrat parties idea going way back -- really into the late 1800s and so forth. when you look at this, you've got an entity fourth branch of government that's not in the constitution you have these judges who are not in the constitution. but created by congress you have judicial review implied power necessary power that comes out of madison a supreme court decision but that's not in the constitution either. the president is in the constitution, the executive branch is in the constitution. and if you listen to these people he's the only one that can't run the executive branch everybody else can take piece of it now how crazy is that? >> two quick points first mark
9:35 pm
you're a lawyer and i'm not but as a historian i want to remind you versus madison it is a slate of hand. it is marshal as chief justice, recognizing that he can only assert the courts role quietly and passively and jefferson will abolish the court. the jefferson were anti-judge and strong faction that wanted to fire marshal everybody else so march bury versus madison was not a strength but a subterfuge when it was extraordinarily high. and i think that's a key part of what we're living through right now. is over the last few hundred years judges have kidded themselves about their relative centrality to the rule of law. second, i think you really have to sympathy in term of a lobbyist bureaucrat system. because it is only really understandable these guys all go to parties together. they happen to have, you know, for example even among supreme court justices, there just
9:36 pm
happens to be a summer seminar in italy that they get to go to that's totally appropriate. but who are they hanging out with? they're hanging out with establishment left wing figures. and so they pick up these ideas i'm sure that these judges are being applauded by all of the liberal friends but what are they being applauded for? they're being applauded for stopping the elected president and by the way, when lincoln went into office as ellen has reported, he fired 1200 of the 1500 decision makers. 1200 out of 1500. in order to have people who loyal to him who could win the civil war. mark: exactly well done newt we appreciate your insight my friend god bless you. we'll be right back.
9:40 pm
9:41 pm
they communist china is greatest threat that we face economically geopolitical militarily and every other way. and that's why i want tom cotton on the program today. he's come out with a book 7 things you can't say about china this book is so compelling. it is so pressured so on the mark and so readable -- that you know, i've cut back on the idea bringing authors on this program unless they really have something to contradict and tom does tom cotton welcome. let me start this way. what is it that communist china wants? what do they want from the united states of america? everything? >> mark that's a good way to put it they want everything. they want to replace the united states as the world's dominant superpower both militarily and economically. chinese officials were pretty open about this in president trump's first term with some of his officials whenever he was there in a state visit they said that ultimately they want to be able to exclude united states
9:42 pm
from the economic sphere of asia. they want to treat the united states like a low cost commodity provider they'll buy our oil, and our agricultural commodities. but if we don't dance to their tune they can get those in places like latin america in the middle east, and that's their ultimate goal that's why -- they've undertaken the biggest military buildup in history. that's why they've been waging an economic world war especially against the united states for the last several decades that's why -- as i say in seven things you can't say about china they have vast influence operations inside of america in our businesses on our campuses, and our governments. they want to replace america as the world superpower. >> you know, your little book is the most thorough exposition in comprehensive take on communist china i've ever read i've read a lot about communist china. you say hey look this is l evil empire, how is it the evil empire?
9:43 pm
>> yeah mark it is like ronald reagan said about communist russia calling evil empire that caused a lot of elites in washington to go to the fainting couch. communist china is also an evil empire it is probably worst than soviet russia was because it's enabled by advanced technology to monitor all of its people and to oppress them in brutal ways for instance, many people are surprised that china is one of the largest christian populations in the world. those christians are badly oppressed. over half of them have to register with chinese authorities to even worship other half do so in private in rick of imprisonment and reeducation. children are being banned from going to church or sunday school or being forced to sign atheist pledges to snuff out the necks generation of christianity. or consider what communist china has done in with ethnically cleansed them by removing their kids sending them to other parts of the country moving chinese in
9:44 pm
creating concentration camps and committing yen genocide both trump and biden administration agreed on what soviet russia did to its own people china does do its own people except supercharged because of the advanced tech no totalitarian something that george orwell could only imagine. >> a massive slave state and monitoring state. it is sort of a mix of 1984 and in the third reich in my respects. these people going to the concentration camps as you point of point out never come out a real hell hole for muslim, and christians you name it it is just a disaster. let me ask you about this, the arm's race who is winning this arm's race? i get the sense that our military spending flat that we've been focused on all of the
9:45 pm
wrong things in four years in terms of internal operations with the wokism and transgenderrism all of that sort of thing. that we are -- sort of depleting our resources within the military over the years without replenishing them. who is winning this arms race right now? >> mark unfortunately communist china is clearly winning arms race over the last quarter century. at the turn of the century, the people liberation army was relatively small it was equipment, and weapons were outdated. they've undertaken a breathtaking military buildup something unseen in history. their military is now more than twice the size of ours their earnl is twice the size of our army. china ship one single chinese shipyards can turn outs and chinese has 13 of them. they went from having junkie relic from from aircraft to their air force to most cutting age aircraft that many cases
9:46 pm
have further ranges than our aircraft do have better radars and have missiles that can shoot farther if you look at their nuclear portions in particular you can see they've abandoned their so-called policy of minimal deterrence just enough to avoid an attack on china to have a first strike capability against the united states. they're already have doubled number of nuclear warheads they have under xi jinping our military estimates they'll do so again by end of this century. to the point of point they're go have a greater nuclear arsenal than the united states does and if you put them together with russian friends they already have greater nuclear capacity than the united states does. so our military is still stronger from a qualitative stand point with the most advance cutting edge technology. but there's no doubt that china has been rapidly gaining on us for a quarter century and we risk the -- there's the risk they will surpass us soon. mark: when we come back tom cotton you and i may be the only
9:47 pm
enough to say enough with brainwashing our children and tiktok i don't know why that is but it is what it is. and they're brainwashing in other ways with money coming into our colleges and universities -- and i want to dig into that when we return. we'll be right back. some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking allstate first. it's gonna get nasty later. like you know, to check the weather first, before sailing. have fun on land. i'll go tell the coast guard. so check all state first for a quote that could save you hundreds. a sleep number® smart bed is perfect for couples.

9:51 pm
>> welcome back here here with tom cotton seven things you seangt say about china first exclusive interview. i cannot urge you strong enough to get a copy of this book. this is the book that will be remembered for decades to come. it is the warning signal, it is the pots and pans banged but all of the information you could possibly want and know about what's taking place because it's going to come to a head one way or another this book seven things you can't say about china it is available right now i urge you to preorder your copy on amazon every major bookstore will have it starting tuesday but grab your copy on amazon read it, it is easy to read. it is easy to explain. you've got to be the paul reveres about this tom cotton what's this deal about tiktok i understand it is important. i understand it is ubiquitous i understand our kids and grandkids love it but isn't that the problem because it is a communist propaganda operation
9:52 pm
