BRING IN MARK LEVIN.
HOST OF "LIFE, LIBERTY AND
LEVIN", HOST OF LEVIN TV IN A
BRAND-NEW BOOK.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO PICK ONE UP
FOR MEMORIAL DAY "UNFREEDOM OF
THE PRESS".
A FANTASTIC NEW BOOK.
WE'LL GET TO THAT A LITTLE BIT
BUT --
>> GREAT TO HAVE YOU IN STUDIO!
YOU LEFT THE BUNKER FOR US?
>> IT HAPPENS!
>> YOU FOLLOW THIS CLOSER THAN
ANYONE ELSE PETER CAME IN OUR
PROGRAM A COUPLE OF YEARS OR
LAYING OUT A DEVASTATING --
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE CAN NOW HAVE
A PRESIDENT EMPOWERING THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL TO SAY, IF YOU
NEED TO DECLASSIFY THINGS, YOU
CAN.
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY HAS
TO INCORPORATE WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
>> YOU NOTICE LARRY'S?
DEMOCRATS HAVE 99.9 PERCENT OF
THE MUELLER REPORT IN THEIR
DEMAND TO SENTENCES, SOMETHING
BEHIND THE TWO SENTENCES.
WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE TWO
SENTENCES.
THEY DON'T CARE, THE PRESIDENT
SAYS, I'M GOING TO RELEASE ALL
THE INFORMATION.
WE HAVE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
THIS, FIND HOW THE GREATEST
SCAM IN AMERICAN HISTORY EVER
TOOK PLACE.
BUT WE CAN DO THAT IS
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION!
THE PRESIDENT IS LEAVING TO THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL TO GO TO THE
DOCUMENT AND MAKE A DECISION.
THIS IS LONG OVERDUE, THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO
KNOW BECAUSE THE PRESS DRAG
THIS THROUGH TWO AND HALF YEARS
OF HELL.
TRY TO DRAG DOWN THE
ADMINISTRATION FOR 2 AND A HALF
YEARS.
PUSHING A PSEUDO-FAKE EVENT
USING PROPAGANDA.
HOW MANY SUBSIDIES TO THE SHOWS
CONNECTING DOTS THAT HE'S GOING
TO BE INDICTED, THERE'S A
SECRET INDICTMENT, HE WILL BE
IMPEACHED.
ALL LIES!
FOR TWO AND HALF YEARS THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE DRAGGED
THROUGH THIS.
>> NOW THEY ARE CALLING IT A
COVER.
THE DEMOCRATS NEW TALKING POINT
IS THAT IT'S A COVER UP.
>> IF WE FILE THE DEMOCRATS IS
LIKE AN INSANE ASYLUM WITH
THESE PEOPLE!
[
WHAT IS A COVER UP EXACTLY?
LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS.
IF THEY'RE NOT THE MOST
OUTRAGEOUS SUBPOENAS IN
AMERICAN HISTORY.
FOR WHAT?
ALL PERSONAL FROM THE PRESENCE
FINANCES, BANK ACCOUNTS, TAX
RETURNS.
HIS KIDS, COUNTING INFORMATION.
HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO ANOTHER
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
NEVER!
THERE NO PREDICATE FOR ANY OF
THIS.
THE PRESIDENT SAYS, I AM
PRESENT YOU'RE TRYING TO DRAG
DOWN THE OFFICE OF THE
PRESIDENCY AS WELL AS ME.
I NEED TO PROTECT THE OFFICE
FOR FUTURE PRESIDENTS.
SO HE IS LITIGATING IT.
SO HOW IS LITIGATING THIS A
COVER-UP?
GO TO COURT, ONE SIDE WINS, ONE
SIDE LOSES.
AWFULLY WE GET ALL THE WAY TO
THE SUPREME COURT.
HOW IS THAT A COVER-UP?
>> I WANT TO JUMP IN BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY I HAVE COVERED THE
BORDER QUITE A LOT.
THE PRESIDENT IS TALKING ABOUT
HE'S UPSET THE CALIFORNIA
JUDGE, THE LATEST BLOCKING THE
PRESIDENT FROM USING DOD MONEY
TO BUILD 51 MILES OF CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE ACCORDING TO THE
BORDER PATROL OFFICIALS.
IS IT YOUR OPINION THAT THESE
JUDGES ARE REALLY DOING A
DISSERVICE TO WHAT IS AGREED TO
BY MOST, A CRISIS ON THE
SOUTHERN BORDER?
>> THIS PRESIDENT HAS FACED THE
FAILINGS OF OBAMA JUDGES.
IT IS AMAZING HOW EVERY MAJOR
CASE GETS SOME KIND OF OBAMA
JUDGE.
BECAUSE LITIGANTS CHERRY PICK.
TO GET IN FRONT OF A OBAMA
JUDGE.
EVERY ONE OF THEM IS A
LEFT-WING ACTIVISTS DRESSED UP
AS A JUDGE.
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE.
THAT'S WHY THEY WERE CHOSEN AND
THEY HAVE DEMONSTRATED THIS.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THEY ARE
BLOCKING THE PRESIDENT ON THE
BORDER.
THEY TRY TO BLOCK HIS
IMMIGRATION INITIATIVES, IT
ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES BE
ONE SAID THAT THE DACA, IT IS
THE LOSS OF THE PRESIDENT
CANNOT UNDO WHAT A PRIOR
PRESIDENT DID.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE HAVE NOW?
IT IS MY FIRST BOOK, JUDICIAL
TYRANNY.
THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT
NOW.
THE CHERRY PICKING OF JUDGES
AND THE OBAMA JUDGES, THIS
PRESIDENT IS FACING LIKE NEVER
BEFORE, DEMOCRATS ON THE BENCH,
DEMOCRATS IN THE MEDIA,
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS, AND
DEMOCRAT IN THE SENATE LIKE
MITT ROMNEY.
>> THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS,
SO MANY ARE WATCHING AND WANT
ANSWERS TO WHAT WAS THE
JUSTIFICATION INITIALLY FOR THE
INVESTIGATION?
FOR ROBERT MUELLER TO GO TO THE
WHOLE PROCESS.
THEY WANT ANSWERS BUT DOUBTFUL
THAT SOME I JOE BIDEN RIGHT
NOW, FRONT RUNNER, FOR 2020
WILL BE ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT
WHAT HIS ROLE WAS.
WHAT POTENTIAL WAS PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S ROLE?
WILL THEY FACE TOUGH QUESTIONS
AND CAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
ACTUALLY EXPECT ANSWERS AS TO
WHAT LED TO THIS INVESTIGATION
TO BEGIN WITH.
>> THEY WILL NOT GET TOUGH
QUESTIONS FROM THE MEDIA.
THEY ARE PROTECTING THE
DEMOCRAT PARTY BECAUSE THEY ARE
OF THE SAME IDEOLOGY.
THEY HAVE THE SAME PURPOSE
WHICH IS TO PUSH THE AGENDA.
THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
DONALD TRUMP GOT ELECTED,
THEY'RE WAITING FOR OBAMA'S
THIRD TERM.
THAT THAT THEY WENT OUT
SPRINGTIME WHEREVER.
AND THEY DID NOT.
AND THEY'RE VERY UPSET ABOUT
IT.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT BARACK
OBAMA HAS NOT HAD A SINGLE
QUESTION ABOUT THIS.
IT ALL HAPPENED UNDER HIS
WATCH.
THE IDEA HE DID NOT KNOW
ANYTHING WAS A LIE.
BECAUSE WHEN I CAME ON THIS
SHOW, WHAT WAS IT, 26 MONTHS
AGO?
IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER.
OBAMA READS THE NEWSPAPER.
DOES HE NOT KNOW WHAT IS
GOVERNMENT IS DOING?
DOES HE NOT KNOW WHAT TOOK
PLACE IN HIS GOVERNMENT?
HE WAS ABLE TO HANG BACK HIS
ENTIRE WHITE HOUSE STAFF HAS
BEEN ABLE TO HANG BACK.
THE PRESIDENT IS -- THE DRAGON
HIM IN FRONT OF CONGRESS,
PROSECUTORS.
OBAMA STAFF IS NEVER BEEN IN
FRONT --
>> WHO CAN CHANGE THAT?
BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW, IS
THERE A WAY TO GET THOSE PEOPLE
TO HAVE TO COME FORWARD AND
SPEAK?
>> WILL BE UP TO ALL THESE
INVESTIGATORS NOW THAT ARE
WORKING TO BILL BARR.
AND I WANT TO CONGRATULATE BILL
BARR WHO IS UNDER ENORMOUS
ATTACK.
HE'S A SMART GUY, HE KNOWS WHAT
THE LAW IS AND HE IS PRESSING
AHEAD WHICH IS A VERY SMART
THING.
>> YOU'RE A BIG THINKER.
I WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO ASK A BIGGER QUESTION.
OUR COMPANY HAS BEEN DIVIDED
BEFORE WE FOUGHT CIVIL WARS BUT
IT FEELS VERY DIVISIVE NOW.
IS THIS JUST EXTREME TRUMP
DERANGEMENT SYNDROME?
OR DO YOU HAVE A IRRECONCILABLE
DIFFERENCES?
IS THERE A BRIDGE TO BE HAD?
>> NO.
SOMEONE WILL WIN AND SOMEONE
WILL LOSE.
WE STAND FOR LIBERTY, WE STAND
FOR THE PRINCIPLES OF THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
TELL ME, WHAT WAS LEFT OF ANY
OF THE DEMOCRATS MENTIONED THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE?
THE WAY THE CONSTITUTION WHILE
THEY ARE EVISCERATING IT.
WAS LAST TIME THEY WERE TALKED
ABOUT INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY?
WHEN IS LAST TIME THEY WERE
TALKED ABOUT PROPERTY RIGHTS?
LIMITED TAXES, LIMITED
GOVERNMENT.
THAT IS THE REVOLUTION.
THEY TALK ABOUT THE OPPOSITE.
THE REVOLUTION WAS ABOUT
FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING
GOVERNMENT.THEY WANTED
REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.
DEMOCRAT PARTIES ABOUT
FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING THE
CIVIL SOCIETY.
AND OUR PRINCIPLES.
THE REASON THEY TALK ABOUT
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM, THOSE DO
NOT WORK TOGETHER.
SOCIALISM IS ABOUT IRONFISTED
CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT.
IT TAKES A DEMOCRATIC PART OUT
>> WE ARE BACK WITH ONE OF MY
FAVORITES, MARK LEVIN.
HOST OF "LIFE, LIBERTY AND
LEVIN" RIGHT HERE ON THE FOX
NEWS CHANNEL.
HOST LEVIN TV, AUTHOR OF
"UNFREEDOM OF THE PRESS".
I HAVE TO ASK ABOUT YOUR BOOK.
FIRST OF ALL ABSOLUTE LOVE THE
TITLE.
>> THANK MY WIFE FOR THAT.
>> THAT WILL RESONATE WITH A
BUNCH OF AMERICANS.
WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR
WRITING THIS BOOK?
>> I WAS SITTING BACK WATCHING
THE MEDIA.
ALL OF THESE YEARS AND I SAID
WE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS.
THE HISTORY, THE PRESS, HOW DID
IT COME TO BE, HOW DID IT GET
TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT?
THE DIFFERENT EVOLUTIONS OF THE
MEDIA TODAY.
THEN THE CURRENT MEDIA.
BECAUSE IF YOU ARE A HUMAN
BEING WITH AN IQ OF OVER 12,
WATCHING TV, CNN OR MSNBC OR
READ IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AND
"WASHINGTON POST" IS OBVIOUS IS
GOING ON.
IT IS TRASH TRUMP, TRASH
CONSERVATIVES, TRUST
REPUBLICANS AND SO I SAID I
WANT TO LOOK AT THIS.
I WANT TO LOOKAT THE HISTORY OF
THE NEW YORK TIMES.
I HAVE A CHAPTER ON THAT I WANT
TO DIG INTO THE ISSUE OF
COLLUSION , ABUSE OF POWER AND
CHARACTER.
COMPARE THAT TO PAST PRESIDENTS
AND WHAT KIND OF COVERAGE THEY
HAD.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS NOT CLEARED,
NOT ABUSED POWER AND IN THE
OVAL OFFICE THERE IS NOT A HINT
OF SCANDAL.
OTHER PRESIDENTS HAVE DONE ALL
THREE IN THE MEDIA HAVE
PROTECTED THEM.
>> AS A REPORTER, I HAVE TO
STAND UP TO THIS A LITTLE BIT.
THE PRESIDENT LAUNCHES ATTACK
ON THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE AS
THE PRESS.
IT IS NOT GOING TOO FAR?
>> IT IS SO PASSIVE WHEN YOU
LOOK AT HISTORY.
IT IS ALMOST RIDICULOUS.
GIVE JIM ACOSTA COVERING THE
WHITE HOUSE, CREATES TRAUMA AND
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS
NEWS.
THAT IS WHAT WE CALL FAKE NEWS.
THE PRESIDENT OR PSEUDO-NEWS.
NO, IT IS NOT.
JOHN ADAMS, 1798 PUT IN PLACE
AN ACT, HE LOCKED UP
JOURNALISTS.
SHUTDOWN NEWSPAPERS.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, DURING THE
CIVIL WAR, GIVE 32 THE
SECRETARY OF WAR, SHUTDOWN 300
NEWSPAPERS.
LOCKED UP JOURNALISTS.
WOODROW WILSON, THE GREAT
PROGRESSIVE.
BUT IN AN ACT IN 1918 LOCKED UP
JOURNALISTS, LOCKED UP
POLITICAL OPPONENTS.
HAD THE MOST AGGRESSIVE
CENSORSHIP CAMPAIGN IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.
FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT USED THE IRS
TO GO AFTER THE OWNER OF THE
INQUIRER THAT DID NOT SUPPORT
THE NEW DEAL HIS WIFE WENT
AFTER -- A CONSERVATIVE.
BARACK OBAMA, USED THE FBI.
OF COURSE HE DOES NOT KNOW
ANYTHING EVER.
BUT THEY USED THE FBI TO GO TO
THIS NETWORK, AFTER AN
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER AT THE
NEW YORK TIMES AND 2018
REPORTERS.
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE ESTATE
FROM TIME TO TIME RIGHTFULLY
SO, BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT THE
MEDIA HAS BECOME.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY MEDIA.
THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
CRITICIZES THEM AND SAYS YOU
ARE THE ENEMY.
PEOPLE SAY MY GOD IT IS LIKE
STALIN.
REALLY!
WHAT EXACTLY HAS THE PRESIDENT
DONE AGAINST THE FIRST
AMENDMENT AND THE PRESS OTHER
THAN INCREASE THE RATINGS?
WHAT HAS HE DONE?
HAS HE SHUT ANYBODY DOWN OR
IMPRISONED ANYBODY?
HAS THE FBI BEEN UNLEASHED
AGAINST ANYONE AT OBAMA?
AGAINST ANYONE AT OBAMATHIS
IS A BIG LIE AND SOMETHING I
ADDRESS IN THE BOOK.
>> IT IS WELL-ADJUSTED IN THE
BOOK.
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF NEWS ,
FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA?
>> I WILL TRY.
>> WILL HAVE 45 SECONDS.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE MODERN MASS MEDIA
AND A FREE PRESS.
WE DON'T HAVE A FREE PRESS.
ONE IDEOLOGY, WE ARE GETTING
PROPAGANDA.
I THINK IT IS DYING.
THE NEW YORK TIMES NEEDED MONEY
FROM A BILLIONAIRE IN MEXICO.
"WASHINGTON POST" WAS BOUGHT BY
A BILLIONAIRE.
CNN HAS NO REDNESS, MSNBC HAS
NO BUSINESS MODEL AFTER TRUMP,
I THINK THEY'RE IN TROUBLE.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, THE
INTERNET, I THINK --
