mark: hello america, i am mark levin this is life, liberty & levin . we have a fantastic show tonight. do you want to know why i m not the host, here s my buddy pete hegseth, what are the nicest, smartest guys i know. every couple of years when i have a book i say why not have pete here who reads the book and understands the book and talk to me about the book and make it very intriguing and interesting. i m going to step out of the host mode and turn the show over to pete, he won t steal it i promise but he ll come back for interviews. i want to thank you. i cannot steal it if i wanted to, what an honor. i appreciate you handing this over to you far less capable. i study this book and i read it cover to cover i would advance copy of it. it s phenomenal, congratulations on a great book and out the gates i want to tell everybody it s worth giving to everybody in the state of our republic is that important. the last time we were here we were talking about american marxism,
pastor igor one loaf per person. once a week every sunday. this is the only time these people can get fresh bread. fresh bread is still warm. but man cannot live on bread alone today, says pastor igor is the most precious thing for people here on the front lines. afterwards we went with the pastor to a nearby bomb shelter and abandoned tuberculosis sanatorium. at the shelter entrance shows us where parts of the rockets struck a month ago that day, he recalls, when rain began to fall, and others went below, then the rocket hit. if it had been five minutes earlier, he said, no one would have survived down below. they have electricity, even satellite television. ana distracts herself by cooking. she never leaves the shelter.
joey: there is some truth for that. he stuck along too long for these people and is in office because of some cobol mafia movement. he is probably he has shown himself to be somewhat racist in certain ways, with eisenhower, i think he s a little bit better in bill clinton, certainly has some white house scandals, so there are some comparisons. i think it stops with that. this is not a hard thing to understand, the white house has probably told these people, listen, this man cannot physically campaign with you, so don t entertain it. he can t do it. to be fair, that s not something i could do. but when you talk about where americans are, some of these polls talk about that they think america is worse than it has ever been. they think that it has hit the pecan has been in a recession of just american greatness. just go on the arrest, talking about strong defense, ukraine, afghanistan, the wokeness of the military, nobody is excited about that. even if you are upset, you re
it s unprovoked. on the issue of so the president is making that moral point. i got you. on the issue of the word choice that the president used at the end of his speech saying, for god s sake, this man cannot remain in power, our former moscow bureau chief and now contributor jill dougherty said this in terms of the response in country, of russia. russian media concentrating on, you know, #bidengaffes, but then censoring in a way the actual words that biden used that, you know, this man cannot remain in power. how does putin leverage that those comments coming from the united states president in country? i think president putin has a real problem. when the president of the united states says this man cannot stay in power or the president of the united states says putin is a war criminal or the president of
he said what many people think. secretary blinken, of course, is right. this is not a change in policy. this is there is no u.s. policy that calls for regime change. president biden didn t say that. president biden said this man cannot stay in power. that s a commonly held view, probably around the world. maybe even in russia, but it s certainly the case that it was a moral statement. it was not a policy statement. however, does it carry more weight because it is the sitting president of the united states, the commander in chief? of course it does. of course it does. and the sitting president of the united states, the commander in chief, has a responsibility to lead this nation. and he s doing that. and he s leading it in a moral way. this war that the russia is fighting against ukraine in the first instance but against all of us in the second interest is immoral. it s unjustified.
