Editor's Note: on Sunday nights at 10:00pm Eastern on FNC, Mark Levin hosts the most unique and insightful interview program seen in decades on national televsion: Life, Liberty & Levin. Interviewing a single guest for the entire hour, Levin explores guests' writings and philosophies in exquisite detail, putting to shame the 15-second sound-bite, dueling talking-head format employed by almost every other program.
MARK LEVIN, HOST: Hello America, I'm Mark Levin, this is "Life, Liberty & Levin." We have a wonderful guest, Dr. Michael Pillsbury. how are you sir?
MICHAEL PILLSBURY, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER ON CHINESE STRATEGY, HUDSON INSTITUTE: Fine, thank you.
LEVIN: It's a pleasure. Now you wrote an amazing book, "The Hundred-Year Marathon: China's Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower" that grabbed my attention because of its incredible relevance... This book has taken off in Asia, the Chinese have the book, although they keep it under glass.
You're a senior fellow, Director of Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute, a distinguished defense policy adviser, former high-ranking governmental official. You've written many books and reports on China. You're educated at Stanford, BA in History, with honors in Social Thought, Columbia University; MA, PhD.
During the Reagan administration, you were the Assistant Undersecretary for Defense for policy planning and responsible for implementation the program of covert aid known as the Reagan Doctrine, but you worked for Nixon, George H.W. Bush, Reagan, somewhat Obama, anyone else that I missed? That pretty much covers it?
PILLSBURY: Yes.
LEVIN: So you've spent your entire career, your professional career, really, focused on China, and I want to read you just a couple of sentences out of your book to elaborate on this for me...
