Hello America, welcome. I'm Mark Leven and this is Life, Liberty and Leven. We have two great guests tonight, Senator Tom Cotton and Victor Davis Hanson. But before I go to our great guests, we really need to take a step back and see what's happening to our country. I couldn't be happier that you're here this evening. There was a great philosopher, he didn't live that long, but a great philosopher in the 1800s. His name was Frederick Basquiat. He wrote a little book called The Law. Ronald Reagan had that book, among many other books, on his bookshelves at his home. Because what the man said was incredibly profound. And I want to quote him very, very briefly to lay the foundation for what I want to get to with you this evening. He said, "The law perverted and the police powers of the state perverted along with it. The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose. The law become the weapon of every kind of greed. Instead of checking crime, the law itself is guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish." He said, "Unfortunately, law by no means confines itself to its proper functions. And when it has exceeded its proper functions, it is not done so merely in some inconsequential and debatable matters. The law has gone further than this. It has acted in direct opposition to its own purpose. The law has been used to destroy its own objective. It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain. To limiting and destroying rights, which its real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous, who wish without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right in order to protect plunder. And it has converted lawful defense into a crime in order to punish lawful defense." That was written almost 200 years ago and that is exactly what's happening to our country today with the Democrat Party and this Marxist movement. Let's just take a big picture look here. Let's look at the federal level, the judges, the Department of Justice as applies to former president and candidate Donald Trump. In Washington they used a DC grand jury to bring Florida charges, venue shopping, and violation of Department of Justice rules for prosecutors and grand juries. Grand jury abuses by the so-called special counsel, including the denial of attorney-client privilege and due process to the former president. That is using attorney-client privilege information discussions with your lawyer and lawyer's notes with a grand jury, in which you don't have a lawyer there, in which you can't provide exculpatory information, in which you cannot challenge anything. We have a prosecutor working for Jack Smith who's accused of extorting a lawyer. Seems pretty serious to me. That is, he said he would help him get a judgeship in exchange for telling his client to turn state witness against former President Trump. Where is that now? It's being investigated in secret by the chief judge of that district who's another Obama appointee. We've heard nothing. Former president, as I said, stripped of attorney-client privilege and that was done in secret by another Obama judge. We have no idea why that occurred and her order remains secret. We're talking about a former president, the leading Republican nominee for president, and all these secret trial activities going on. Former president was stripped of his executive privilege authority to protect his conversations with his former vice president and his staff while he was president of the United States. That's never been done before. No attorney-client privilege, no executive privilege. Criminalized a document dispute using a search warrant, a SWAT team from the FBI, and seized records. Never done before in American history. An abuse of law, most aggressive use of the law to do something which is really outrageous. A secret search warrant we just heard from another Obama judge, allowing the government to seize all communications the former president had on Twitter, including private communications. Again, trial by secrecy in a Democrat courtroom with a Democrat judge, a Democrat prosecutor, a Democrat grand jury, Democrat future jury. Now why was that done in secret? The bogus argument, well, if he finds out that we're looking at his Twitter account, he may flee the country. Yeah, he'll leave his family, he'll leave Mar-a-Lago, he'll leave it all. He'll just flee the country. Now how ridiculous is that? Now what have they done? They use an 1871 Ku Klux Klan statute, a 2002 Enron statute, and financial obstruction statute, none of which has anything at all to do with January 6th. They use the 1917 Espionage Act which was passed by Woodrow Wilson to imprison his political opponents. Sound familiar? It was applied against Eugene Debs who was running for president on the Socialist Party, and he ran while he was in prison. I guess that's what the Biden administration thinks ought to happen now. Piling charges, as we say, that is making multiple criminal charges from a single event. Just piling them on, piling them on. Now why do they do that? Because they just want one conviction, and they want a jury to sit there and say, look, we got 40 charges here in the document case. All right, let's, let's find Gilly on one or two of them and we'll clear them with the rest. That's what's going on. Every dirty trick imaginable. There has been relentless leaking of investigative sensitive and even concealed information to the media, in particular Maggie Haberman at The New York Times, to the Washington Post and to CNN. And I've demonstrated here, I have examples of over 40 leaks from this prosecutor in the Department of Justice in the past six months in violation of federal law to destroy the objectivity of any jury pool. And as for The New York Times, I want you to remember something. Their reporter in Moscow was a Stalin mouthpiece. During the Holocaust, their bureau chief in Berlin was a Hitler mouthpiece while they covered up the Holocaust. I want to remind you, The New York Times helped install Fidel Castro, who had 28 guerrilla militia behind him. That was it. To overthrow the government in Cuba, which was, which was a corrupt government, but still it was the communist regime. And now The New York Times is trying to overthrow this government. In Atlanta, outrageous leaked district attorneys grand jury charges before the grand jury even met to vote on the charges, indicted 19 individuals, including the former president, for exercising their free speech rights, organizing a challenge to an ongoing political campaign for president, seeking dual electors in an extremely close election, which by the way is done often, providing legal advice, lobbing state officials, and then accusing them all because of all these so-called phony charges of mob action. That is RICO, a mob law, a grand conspiracy to obstruct and overturn the election. In other words, they were charged for routine political activity. The DA, who represents only Fulton County, Georgia, county prosecutor, nonetheless claims to use evidence involving six other states outside of Georgia, uses allegations made by the Pelosi January 6 committee, which have since destroyed God knows how much material that they collected on that committee in order to prevent the former president from using any exculpatory information that they may have come across to defend himself. This is a federal matter, not a state matter. She's obviously coordinating with the Department of Justice and the special counsel, Jack Smith. We know this. She was directly asked if she was and she said, "I'm not discussing my investigation." That's a yes and she's not discussing her investigation, which means she's been coordinating with Jack Smith. This is not only interference in a federal election, it's a bald-faced attempt to empower thousands and thousands of local and state prosecutors to decapitate the federal government, if there's a Republican candidate, if there's a Republican president. Just to decapitate it. More on that later.
