7/17/26 - Senate Under Attack | Mark Levin Defends Founding Fathers' Genius

You know, folks, Americans rely on credit cards for secure payments and seamless transactions. But consumers stand to lose at all with the Dick Durbin Marshall Credit Card Mandate Bill. Big government mandates favor corporate megastores and allow them to choose how your credit card is processed. They might end up using untested payment networks that could jeopardize your data security and rewards. Tell Congress to guard your card because Americans lose when politicians choose.

Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-3811, 877-381-381-3811. Do you think our Constitution should be gutted? Gustava Cordillo, Gustavo, says yes. And the Senate is undemocratic, you see, because it gives smaller states more power. Folks, do we live in a democracy or a republic? Obviously, we live in a republic. Small states don't have more power, but small states get a say. And they get a say mostly in the Senate because they don't have enough seats in the House. Why should we substitute the genius of the constitutional convention and the state conventions with the thoughts and beliefs of Gustavo Cordillo? Now, we tried to get one of these guys on the program, right, Mr. Medusa? To no avail. But they did go on Fox. Here's Gustavo, New York City DSA co-chair. With Martha McCollum today, cut to go. Are you in favor of abolishing Article 1 of the Constitution? No. U.E support a democratic route to transformative change in the United States. We think that we need to put the working class before the billionaire class. I'm sick of this, putting the working class before the billionaire class. Abolishing the Senate has nothing to do with that, number one. Number two, there is no billionaire class. There are no classes in America. There's freedom in America. And notice these miscreants and malcontents never talk about freedom. They never talk about free will. They never talk about the individual. It's always groups. It's always groups because that's what Marx taught them to do. To create the narrative of the oppressed and the oppressor, it's right there in the Communist Manifesto. The working class versus the billionaire class. And unfortunately, we have some young people with mashed potatoes for brains. I think this is very, very compelling. Very compelling. Go ahead.

The Senate, the United States Senate, because that's what Article 1 is. The United States Senate is a non-democratic institution. It gives more representation to people in smaller states than to the 30. That's what you mean? It's a non-democratic institution. It allows people in rural areas to have a say in their government. Now, what he wants is some kind of a parliamentary democracy, which they have all throughout Europe and soar, because it advances the cause of socialism. That's what it does. It undermines the whole notion of the Declaration of Independence. We'll get to that soon because they're proposing eliminating the Declaration of Independence. Sure, they got great ideas, folks, don't you know? The Marxist Islamists. Go ahead. Of representatives, which is population-driven, and then you've got the Senate. So every state, if you're a small state, you still get two senators, even though you only get maybe one congressman in order to make all of the states have fair representation. So you say, I'm just confused. When you ask normal Americans. Normal Americans. Normal Americans? Seriously? Who is this guy to determine what a normal American is? When you ask normal Americans, if they love the Constitution, they say yes. Go ahead. And the Senate and our political system is working for them. Most people are very unhappy with the political system. They may be very unhappy with the political system, but that is nothing to do with the constitutional construct. And what do you mean they're unhappy with the political system? They may be unhappy with certain politicians, certain elections, certain political parties, but the governing system, the constitutional system, last time I checked, is embraced by the American people. Go ahead. It's not working for them. When we think about the 250th anniversary of the United States. What does he mean it's not working for them? What does that even mean, Mr. Producer? What it means is they interpret the Constitution and capitalism through the lens of Marxism. So if you don't have Medicare for all, if you don't have free housing, free food, free rent, if you don't have all the things that the Marxists claim they want for you but can never deliver for you, then the system isn't working for the people. This is why I desperately sought Mr. Producer on my behalf to have one of these DSA types on the program. And Mr. Producer, we're going to try again next week, okay? May I encourage you to contact the producer for Martha McCollum Show to get this guy's phone number? And they call him directly. Go ahead. And we think about our proudest moments in U.S. history. I think of times like when ordinary people rose up and they changed the Constitution to abolish slavery, to give women... Ordinary people rose up and changed the Constitution to abolish slavery. First, we had a civil war to abolish slavery. Ordinary people didn't rise up to abolish slavery. We had a civil war.

A war between the states, among the states, to end slavery. The only country in the face of the earth to do so. All of these countries with parliamentary systems or without a Senate, they all had slavery. In fact, slavery still exists in the world today, in the third world, in the Middle East, in Africa, in the Far East. In fact, it exists in communist China. In fact, slavery exists in every communist regime on the face of the earth. North Korea. Cuba. Name one communist country in which slavery doesn't exist or indentured service doesn't exist. Not in a single, quote-unquote, democracy does slavery exist today? Not one. Go ahead. That's an Asian-wide pride in the country. But back in those moments, those were considered radical movements because those people dared to say. Actually, they were not considered radical movements at all. The Republican Party in the 1850s was born as an abolitionist party. The North was the majority in America. That was not considered a strange thing or anything of the kind. the abolition of slavery. And there wasn't a country in the face of the earth that didn't have slavery at some point. But that's not my point either. What about the great United States defeating Nazism? What about the great United States defeating Tojo and Imperial Japan? What about the great United States defeating fascism in Italy? or defeating Islamist jihadism in Iran. What about that? Does he support that? Go ahead. I'm going to have changed in the United States. Right. Well, we struggle to become a more perfect union. But I just want to ask you again, do you want to abolish the United States Senate? Because you said you approve of Article 1, but then you said... You didn't think the Senate works. We think that the Senate should be reformed, that we should have a more democratic government system. Okay. Do you think that we have unalienable rights, that people can just vote on them? Hmm? A more democratic government system. No, we don't want a more democratic government system. We want a representative government system, the consent of the governed. What are we going to do? Have plebiscites every day? Some people can go vote, whether you keep your private property? Hmm? We don't have plebiscites every day. Maybe we could use our computers every day and everybody gets to vote. Is that okay with you, America? That's not our system. That's never been our system. So let's see if we can get Gustavo Cordelia on the program, Mr. Producer. I mean, he's a big deal, right? He's co-chair, the New York City Democratic Socialists of American. I'd like to have him for a full hour if we can get him. Hour two would be a good hour. Let's go to Emma Vigalin. Emma Vigalin, a...

Democratic Socialist of America member. I would start with the premise that there's nothing democratic about the Democratic Socialists of America. They're a movement. They're a party. But I didn't have any vote on who this person was. Did any of you? No. So how is this Democratic? How's the Democratic? Cut three, go. I don't really care if, say, like, Bernie Sanders or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez go home and they're a secret Nazi, but they go out and they vote for the right things. Like, we're talking about... So she has no morals whatsoever. Secret Nazi. They go home, they're secret Nazis. What's the big deal? And I believe her when she says that. I do. We saw what happened with Graham Platner and so forth and so on. What's the big deal? That's from the Canary Mission, by the way. Hat tip to them, they're superb. Just because there's secret Nazis doesn't mean anything, I see. So if secret Nazis are elected to office, but they're secret Nazis. And then they reveal themselves as out of the closet Nazis. Is that okay? They say they want transparency, but apparently they don't. Any excuse for any of these commies to get elected? Any excuse? Go ahead. I mean, I'm like, I think these are the lines that people are talking about. Some people care about that exact thing. She's a nink. She's a ninkin poop. More poop than ninkin, but nonetheless. We have more. Linda Sarsour, who's also a Democratic Socialist of America member. and tied in very tightly with the Islamist movement in this country, including care. She's a real Israel hater. I would argue that she's a big anti-Semite as well. Certainly that's my opinion of her. But we'll be right back. Mark Levin.

Gold entered 2026 after a historic year. 53 new all-time highs, an average price up 44% year over year, then push past $5,500 an ounce in January. Right now it's pulled back, and many in Wall Street analysts are telling clients, this is the window. Before gold pushes back towards new highs. Meanwhile, silver is on track for a sixth year of structural supply difference, with solar, EVs, electronic, and industrial demand, still pulling heavily on the market. And gold's pullback has been fueled by fading Fed rate hopes and massive debt. Not a clear break in gold's bigger 2026 story. Call monetary gold right now.

Now, keep something in mind, these are communists and Islamists who want to change our Constitution while claiming they support democracy. So these are very evil people. They are saboteurs. And our Constitution has served us beautifully. Beautifully for a very long time. With the oldest constitutional republic on earth. The idea that we should give it up because they have some idea of democracy. We want to eliminate the Senate. We want to pack the Supreme Court sound just like Democrats, doesn't it? Just like Democrats. Now, we have Linda Sarsour, who's a DSA member as well as very closely tied to Kare Hamas Front Group. She hates our country. She hates Jews. She hates Israel. She hates evangelical Christians. And most of them do, by the way. At least that's the way I see it. Certainly my opinion. But let's take a listen to her. Cut. Four, go. This is the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This is, quote, unquote, America's birthday. And the question historically is going to be, what were we doing on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence? Do we have the audacity to sit around and say that we want to build a document that is our values and our principles and bring millions of America? See what I mean? So listen, we have our values today, Linda Sarsour does. The commies and the Islamists do. We have our values today, and we insist. We insist that you change your declaration, you change your constitution, you abandon your economic system for us. For these barely pubescent individuals whose experience in life are these phony revolutions. Go ahead. And so I see people on the streets. I see mutual aid efforts. I see young people running for office. I see people of color marginalized people getting up and saying, I'm the leader that I've been waiting for. How are they marginalized if they're getting elected and their leaders that they've been waiting for? Go ahead. Around those leaders. And so don't give up hope, folks. There's more to come. We're going to survive this. And survive what? And what are you going to do? How are these people in our country, ladies and gentlemen? Why are they in our country? Go ahead. Right back. And some of us are going to be on the other side waiting to catch you when we win because there got to be other people that are going to be building the thing that you're going to come to once we win this fight back because we will win, my friend. So keep your chin up, your head up. It is the blessed month of Ramadan right now, so I've had a lot of time to reflect on this. Yes, yes. Keep your head up, your chin up. They're going to destroy our founding document, our governing document. They're going to destroy our way of life. Communism instead of republicanism, socialism instead of capitalism. They've got it all figured out. They've never done a damn thing in their lives other than mouth off these slogans and push these punk revolutions and so forth and so on. But they have it all figured out. Tell me, what have they done for our country? What have they done for our country?

Absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing. That is what they've done for our country. They've contributed nothing to this country. They come here and they attack it. Or their parents come here and they attack it. That's what they do. No contribution to our country whatsoever. These people need to be pushed back. And that's up to us at our breakfast tables, at our dinner tables, at our place of work, our social circles. That's up to us when it comes to voting. Otherwise, we're lost. I'll be right back. For decades, Americans have been holding physical gold in retirement accounts as a hedge against inflation, against geopolitical turmoil, as a long-term store of value. But what do you really own? And how is it positioned today? If you own gold, silver, or platinum, wouldn't you like to know its current market range, or if premiums, spreads, or product types are worth a closer look? Right now, monetary gold will give you a complementary precious metals holding review. When you call 877 now gold, they will review your precious metals asset by asset. Discuss the current market value of it, then your monetary gold consultant. can walk you through areas that might be worth reviewing with an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau. Monetary gold is the trusted name and precious metals. If you own gold, silver, or platinum, get your complimentary holdings review right now. Just call 877 now gold. That's 877 now gold. Performance may vary consult your tax or financial professional. Mark Levin, America's passionately cerebral voice. Talk with that voice now. 877-381-381. So these people want to destroy our country. They want to destroy our way of life. From our political system to our governing system, to our founding, to our economic system. The greatest country in the face of the earth. All the battles that have been fought, legal battles, military battles, political battles to get to where we are today. And because of our generosity, in fact, because of our stupidity with open borders, our stupidity in allowing our colleges and universities to get away from us, to teach what the enemy is promoting. We now find ourselves with our backs against the wall, the enemy within, acting throughout our culture, conquering the Democrat Party, one piece at a time. And now we're in this situation. We're in a situation where our liberty is used against us, where our Constitution is used against us, where individuals run around and talk about a little D-democracy and equality and, of course, what they'll bring us is hell on earth. If you love this country and you love your lifestyle and you want to preserve it for your children and grandchildren, you better wake up. And if you're awake, you're listening to this program, you better pass it on.

Because if more of them turn out and vote, then we do, they win. That's how it works. And I fear that they have a win on their backs, a win on their tail, and we don't. I don't know why. It just seems that way, doesn't it? It does seem that way. And we have people who want to be candidates or likely to be candidates. We're trashing our country too. Trashing our economic system. Trashing our foreign policy. We have people supposedly on our side who talk about forever wars and that we're warmongers and we're colonialists and imperialists. They sound just like the left. So it's left to you and me to defend this country. That's what's left. Ashley Webb wants to be a senator from Maine. She's a transgender contender to replace Graham Platner. During the debate, she was asked a question. Cut five, go. Ashley Webb, what qualifications do you have to serve in the U.S. Senate? Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but he didn't run. And then I'm a songwriter. And then I write my own books. I suppose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to the people and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. Yes, we're always being deceived and screwed over and all the rest if you're on the left, right? So people project their own imperfections, their own foolishness, their own failures, onto society at large. They take responsibility for nothing. For nothing. And yet in this country, we know if you work hard and you work smart and you keep at it, you're going to make something out of yourself. But you don't hear that from these people, do you? It's always, woe is me, woe is me. The country sucks. I'm great, but the country sucks. I want equality. I want equality with the billionaires and the millionaires. Well, you didn't work for it. Well, I want it anyway, and it's not fair. Ashley Webb, cut six, go. And then with the trans community, like we're being dehumanized. They say that we want to hurt people. I don't want to hurt anybody. I just want to use the bathroom. And if they want me to use the men from... The question was, why should people vote for you? He haven't given an answer. Trans or not trans? You want to use the bathroom? I got it. You write poetry. You do whatever you do. Your songwriter, I should say. You write your own books. Great. And what qualifies you to be a senator? That you don't rape somebody like Graham Platner is accused of doing? I mean, seriously. Then we have Dan Cleben. A contender to replace Graham Platner. Cleveland. Cut seven, go. Do people be deported if they came to this country illegally and there is a deportation order signed by a judge? Look, I believe that if someone is here illegally, the only crime they committed was that, we need a pathway to citizenship here. We know that they're hard, most of them, almost all are hardworking people. Now, we don't know that everybody's a hardworking person. In fact, we know that everybody's not. We know there's a lot of people who are on welfare.

In fact, a more significant percentage than the general population of Americans. So, no, we don't know that everybody's hardworking. The line used to be who's going to pick your lettuce. Of course, we don't need 25 million illegal aliens to pick lettuce. And so there you have it. We've got to destroy ICE, no deportations. Unless, of course, they've committed heinous crimes. And then these so-called sanctuary cities and states, which are unconstitutional, run by Democrats, every single one of them, they won't turn the violent criminal over to ICE because you have to hate ICE. They don't want them deported. They don't want anybody deported. It's inhumane, you see. And so basically our Constitution has to go, the declaration has to go. Our immigration laws have to go. Our border has to go. You get it? You understand? This is what the Democrat Party stands for. This is where they're coming from. Communists, Islamists, anti-Americans. I'm just telling you the truth. I'm just telling you what we're hearing what they're doing. It is what it is. It's incredible. You see, ladies and gentlemen, they attack Israel, they attack Benjamin Netanyahu, they promote anti-Semitism, but in the end, they want to destroy America. They want to destroy the Declaration, the Constitution, or economic system. They want to destroy America. America is the shining city on a hill. America is the place where people of all colors, all sexes, all religions, all backgrounds can achieve whatever they seek to achieve. There's not another place like this on the face of the earth. Not one. And this is how they work it over. This is how they do what they do. They lie. They use the language and slogans of... of humanity, inequity. Excuse me. This is what they do. All right. And then, of course, we're the warmongers, you understand. That's right. Meet the 39 out-of-state billionaires. See, they like billionaires. As long as they're their billionaires. Out-of-state billionaires bankrolling Jon Ossoff, he's the radical left-wing trust fund baby, running as a radical left-wing Democrat in Georgia and running for re-election to the Senate. They're bankrolling his campaign after the senator denounced billionaire money. You got that? One of the great websites, the Washington Free Beacon. Endangered, Georgia Senator Assoff has been going hat-in-hand to liberal billionaires, even as he rails against the corrupting influence of the ultra-wealthy on the campaign trail. By Andrew Kerr, to Senator John Ashth, excuse me, Asaf, I almost cursed, Mr. Producer, by accident, of course. The billionaires are to blame for driving the culture of corruption in American politics, and he has appointed himself as the man to put a stop to it. He could start by taking a look at his own campaign.

which has accepted nearly 400,000 in campaign contributions from billionaires. So far, this election cycle with a lot more to go. Asaf, a liberal who is widely considered the most endangered Democratic incumbent senator heading into November, has garnered presidential buzz and a national profile with his fierce denunciation of billionaires, the Trump family, and the Epstein class. So says the Soros class. But his self-styled grassroots campaign for a full second term has accepted contributions from 39 billionaires since the start of 2025, according to Forbes and the Federal Election Commission records. Oh, my goodness. You mean he's a hypocrite? Assov's roster of prominent billionaire benefactors, none of whom appears to be from Georgia, includes progressive mega donors. You mean communists. George Zuros and his son Alex. as well as Jeffrey Epstein Associate. Hello, Jeffrey Epstein Associate and Lincoln co-founder, Reid Hoffman. Hotel Air and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and his sister. Harvard Corporation Senior Fellow in former Obama Secretary of Commerce, Penny J.B. Pritzker, and Microsoft divorce, A. Melinda French Bill Gates, contributions that according to Jon Ossoff's own logic. could make him beholden to their interests ahead of his own constituents. Asaf said on Pod Save America in September, we have to be about change and reform and money and politics is like the root of all of this. We have to focus on that, the vast sums of corporate and billionaire money in our political system, with or without Trump, and why ordinary people are so ill-served by elected officials and by Congress. You see how they lie, these scumbags, they just lie. Jon Ossoff's reliance on billionaires to fund his campaign could open him up to charges of hypocrisy, oh, you think? As he has made anti-corruption measures, the signature theme of his re-election bid. As Bashar al-Assad tells it, American politics is a coin-operated system where money coming in from billionaires and politicians delivering them favors in return. And the Georgia Democrat says the Trump administration is a government of by and for the ultra-rich. And how come the Democrats always raise more than the Republicans in these races? Why is that, America? Isn't that odd? They don't hate money. They just hate your money. That's right. They want your money. The Georgia Democrat says the Trump administration is a government of him by the ultra-rich and is attacked as Republican opponent, Representative Mike Collins, as being a lackey of the ultra-wealthy, willing to defund rural hospitals in order to take care of billionaires and himself. All this Marxist propaganda, just nonstop, going by his own logic, Jon Ossoff's political favors to an ever-growing roster of billionaire donors. And since 2017, when he first ran for Congress, Bashar al-Assad's political campaigns have accepted contributions from at least 70 billionaire donors, Fox News reports, 70. Alongside billionaires, Osav also points to corporations as vectors of corruption in modern American politics. And he says his campaign won't accept contributions from corporate PACs or federal lobbyists. Asaf can't say the same about his billionaire donors.

whose campaign contributions, he hasn't returned. Ascoff and fellow Democrat, Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, another nut job, made history together in 2020 when they won the respective elections, and was once considered a deep red state. Now, Asav's race is considered a must win for the Republican Party. The party wishes to regain control the upper chamber, and it goes on. I should say, hold on to the upper chamber. That's right. The Ahsov campaign did not return a request for comment. The billionaires? Adam Norwood. Don Levin. J.B. Pritzker. James Chambers. John Morgan. That would be that famous, what is it, slip and fall lawyer. Morgan and Morgan all over the place, I guess. My guest. John Mordridge. Jennifer J.B. Pritzker. Catherine Rainer. Pat Stryker, Amos Hostetler Jr. Amy Goldman Fowler, Brian Schimp. Careful. Chris Larson. Christopher, it just goes on. George Soros. John Doer. I'm looking at some of the more notable names. Bill Gates, we mentioned. Reed Hoffman.

More on the hypocrisy, Washington Free Beacon again. This doctor, this psychiatrist, who's married to Abdul El-Sayed, who is the Hamasian running for the Senate in Michigan. Incredible. Left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful writes Elena Goodman. Abdul El-Sayed, he's morally a Marxist Islamist. as railed against doctors who don't accept Medicaid, arguing they discriminate against black communities and perpetuate long-held deep racism and structural racism, quoting. That criticism would apply to his wife, psychiatrist who operates a private practice that doesn't accept Medicare, Medicaid, or any other type of insurance, including private insurance. Well, she must be a racist pig then. In a June campaign video captioned, clinics and hospitals can discriminate against you based on your health insurance coverage. Abdul El-Sayed lamented what he called America's multi-class health care system. All this commie clap trap from these liars and suckers. He said too often in urban communities because of structural racism, structural. Because of the circumstances of segregation, you end up having situations where you may have health insurance through Medicaid, but you don't have health care because you can't get your Medicaid accepted where you need to get it, he said. He made a similar remark during a July meet and greed in Detroit, saying that because Medicaid reimburses at half the rate, many providers aren't required to provide care. And if they can provide it for you, they provide it in a way that is consistent with the fact. That you're basically a half-paying customer. Get it? See what he's doing? Denigrating the system. I mean, Medicaid is free to most people, ladies and gentlemen. And look how they trash America and trash our system. It is nonstop. Non-stop. What do they get in the rest of the world? Crap! The issue, he said, falls hardest on black communities, urban communities, communities that are systematically poor as a function of long-held deep racism and structural racism. But then again, his wifey, the lovely what's her name, she accepts no insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, private, and she's a psychiatrist. Together they're psychos. We'll be right back.

Now, broadcasting them from the underground command post. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-381-3811. We have two fantastic Life, Liberty, and Levin programs for you this weekend. Always the same time and same place, 8 p.m. Eastern Time, Saturday, that's tomorrow night, 8.m. Eastern Time Sunday, well after the last... of the soccer games, and I'll be rooting for Argentina just because I hate the government of Spain. That's a whole other story. And I think the government of Argentina is run by a solid pro-American conservative. So that's how I pick these teams. But I hope you'll set whatever device you use to record the program or watch it live. You can set your DVR, of course. So that's 8 p.m. Eastern time tomorrow night, 8 p.m. Eastern time Sunday night. We've had very strong ratings despite all the sports and all the competition because of you folks, and I don't let you down. I'll give you an example. I was up, oh, last time when I was doing the monologue, I was up at about 6.30 in the morning, and I worked for five and a half hours on the monologue, Mr. Producer. Five and a half hours. It's like I'm writing a book, a chapter in a book. The reason in part is I might start something and then drop it. I might find a piece of research that I find compelling that I feel like I should share with you. Or I'll be ready, I'll write it, and I'll write notes to myself, mostly as how I do it. And then I'll conclude, well, I don't like it. So let me tighten this thing up. So I do that myself. A lot of books are coming up, I know, because people want to keep coming on my show, and they have books coming out. It just amazes me where people find time to write books. Now, I write books, my own books. I write them late at night. So, for instance, people are curious. I'll do the radio show. It'll be done at 9. By 10 o'clock. I'll sit down. I'll start working on it until 2 or 3 in the morning. And if I have an idea, I'll get up at six in the morning and work on it some more. The weekends become work weekends. And so Saturday, I'll put in half to two-thirds of a day. Sunday, I'll put in two-thirds to three-fourths of a day, working on the book. And so I know when you get my book that I put my heart and soul and my brain into it, that somebody else didn't write it. And I didn't go through the motions of editing it and pretending that I wrote it and I'm this great historian and everything else. That's what other people do. That's not what I do. And you can tell. Because if you have individuals who are spending their weekends playing golf, spending their weekends traveling, spending their weekends at Mar-Largo, spending their weekends wherever they are, they're clearly not writing a book, are they, Mr. Produce? Well. That's the way it works around here. Jack Keane, one of the great military thinkers of our time, also a great hero. He goes back to the Vietnam War. He's a retired four-star general. That's not easy to come by. He was also the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs in a past administration, Republican administration. He was on Fox News today.

And here's what he had to say in part. And when Jack Keene speaks, you know to listen. Cut nine go. Let's get something straight. for the american people there is a fiction created by the iranians that there's a diplomatic side to the iranians that are moderates and they really want to make a deal and then there's these hardliners the ir g c and others who are not going to don't want to make a deal and these diplomatic guys have kind of going to work with them and help us work with them americans you've got to understand the challenges that we're placing that is all fiction created by them to play us. And we've got to wake up to the facts that are really in front of us. And the evidence speaks louder than their words. They broke the MOU within days of their president signing it. Yes. That's a reality. Why? Because what I said, this is at their center of gravity, this is their strategic asset. We should not fall prey to this recent and now diplomatic overture to make a deal again. They just want to stop us from taking their strategic asset away from them. We've got to get on with doing it. Let him finish. Whoever that is keeps interrupting him. Just let him speak. That's why I'm proud of my show on Saturday and Sunday. Let the guest speak. You don't have to be a host as a... Hold on now. Just cool it. I don't know who that was. I don't really care. Just cool it. It's okay. He's there for a reason. He's there because of his knowledge and expertise. And... He's 100% correct. We've seen this playoff for half a century. Another great general is General Kellogg. And General Kellogg has been Keith Kellogg, Lieutenant General. It's on Fox News yesterday. He's very much worth listening to as well. Cut 10, go. As long as you've got a theocratic government run by the Revolutionary Guard, you're going to have this problem. The IRGC, that is not the Army, is basically running the government right now with the Supreme Leader. Look, the President has got it right. He's done something, nobody else, no... previous president has done. And he's not doing it for himself. He's doing it for our kids and our grandkids to make sure we don't have another nuclear power in the world and one that can destabilize the Middle East. And he's really doing a great job and what he's trying to do right now. And when you look at what he's doing right now, when you look at the problem he's got, I think, facing this right now, he's kind of isolating the battlefield with aerial strikes. But I will tell you.

Aerial strikes alone won't do the job. The Germans learned that in World War II when they put the blitz on London. It didn't work. And I was in the first Gulf War. We sustained 30 days of bombing before we crossed the berm and we got to Euphrates River. And within 100 hours, they broke. The Iranians believe, and I think they're fundamentally wrong on this because they're facing the wrong president right now. Donald Trump is willing to do something. They've got two points of leverage they have. One is Carg Island, which basically runs 90% of their oil. The vast majority of that, by the way, goes to China, and the other one is the control of the strait. The island's in the strait as well. And if you can neutralize both of those as strategic targets, either by occupation or whatever it's going to take, you basically control their economy. If you control their economy, I think they start to break. It's interesting. Many of the woke right types have never served in the military. I haven't. What's interesting is these men have. They've seen combat. They've led troops into war. And you hear how they talk. They talk about what the military is supposed to do and how a military can win. And they ought to be listened to. We'll get into that summit this weekend too, and we're further going to get into arming the Iranian people, and I get into some detail, and I will into that. I also am going to continue to go after these communists and Islamists, continue to expose them for what they are and what they're trying to do to our country. I've got to use these platforms as a Paul Revere. To call out as many people who will listen, you know, people come and go in an audience, whether it's TV or radio or podcasting or whatever it is. Most people, but not all. They don't stay for the full three hours of radio or the full hour of TV, but some do. So I'm hoping we catch people as they come and go, and I'm hoping that you folks will pass on the word too. We've got to push back. The bottom line with the communists, that is the Marxist Islamist, is that they want to destroy our country. They want to destroy your faith, if you're not Islamist. In the case of the Marxist communists, they want to destroy your livelihood, they want to destroy your liberty. If you like this country, if you love this country, if you're a cop or a firefighter or a veteran or electrician or a plumber, a bus driver, a taxi driver, Uber, Lyft, whatever you are. These people hate you. They talk about ending slavery. They want to enslave you in their own way. Most communist regimes are regimes of slavery and indentured servants. I'll be right back.

We're covering a lot, but we have to cover a lot. We only have three hours. Three hours moves very quickly. It just does. Let me see here. Bear with me, folks. I want to get something here. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay, here we are. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Very interesting. Iran is telling its citizens to turn off the air conditioning to preserve the power grid. Blames U.S. strikes for the strain. And this is why today Tucker Carlson has quadrupled down in his attack on our great president, Donald Trump. And I do note that some of these fraudulent phonies who claim to be loyal to Donald Trump, who are on the Internet, Alex Bruske being one of them, embraces Tucker Carlson. So I guess their allegiance is not to Trump, is it? Iran tells citizens to turn off AEC, New York Post reports. Preserve power grid blames U.S. strikes for the strain. Sweltering Iranians were warned by their rulers to shut off their air conditionings during peak hours as the regime claimed the country's power grid came under strain from U.S. attacks. Tehran's Ministry of Energy said in a statement that shutoffs were necessary to help ensure a stable electricity supply in southern province. Almost sounds like New York, doesn't it, Rich? Oh, yeah. Almost sounds like the entire northeast in New England. Where, of course, they have decided that energy production will affect the climate. These are degrowthers. These are Neanderthals. These are throwbacks. The communists are, the Islamists are, and these so-called climate change idol-worshippers, they are too. They're throwbacks. That's why they hate capitalism. Now, the statement did not specify whether power plants, transmission lines, or other equipment had been attacked. Sentcom declined to say whether the U.S. military hit Iranian power plants or other energy targets, but a White House official denied to the BBC that any civilian infrastructure was struck. U.S. force carried out strikes exclusively on military targets, including military logistics infrastructure. The person said temperatures in the Iranian capital hit triple digits on Friday, with highs of 102 expected both Saturday and Sunday. The Port of Bandar Abbas, focus on the latest American bombing campaign. Who cares? What is? The weather channel? President Trump pledged to begin bombing Iranian energy infrastructure next week. If Tehran continues resisting U.S. demands. He said next week it gets really bad for them. Foundation for the Defense of Democracy's Iran program director Ben Ham Ben Taliblu told the post that Tehran, not the U.S. is responsible for the crisis. It's not the first time they've ordered their citizens to go without air conditioning. They're saying that now and have said it before. They try to get people to conserve when the government doesn't. But an official talking point, blame is being shifted, you see, to the United States. Of course.

He said they will have a combination environmental and economic crisis anyway since those were unresolved things pre-January protests, referring to the widespread protests in Iran. Other infrastructure has also been struck. Overnight U.S. strikes Friday. It rode in rail bridges with the goal of cutting off Bandar Abbas from the rest of Iran. That's one of the main places for the... IRGC. The attacks also collapsed a tower at Iran's Kabahar Port on the Gulf of Oman, a key trade route for a landlocked neighboring Afghanistan, the state-run news agency reported. Friday marked the six consecutive day of U.S. airstrikes. And so what you see is the president comes under increasing intense attack from the woke right. From the woke right, Tehran retaliated by attacking U.S. partners in the region with missiles and other projectiles, and Kuwait authorities said Iran attacked a power and water desalination plant causing widespread damage to the station. So far, they haven't fired a spitball at Israel. Because I guess they know what Israel will do to them, whether the United States likes it or not. But that time will come because they won't be able to control themselves. In Qatar, the public, was warned twice to take shelter as air defense is fired to intercept the missiles. Doha's interior ministry said falling debris wounded a child. Jim Jordan's military said it intercepted three incoming missiles Friday morning, launched by Iran. Explosions also could be heard Friday morning in Irbil, and other locations in northern Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region as air defenses targeted incoming fire. The attack apparently targeted the Iranian Kurdish descent group, dissident group, Kamala Harris, Kamaala, killing at least nine people and wounding others. Iran did not immediately claim the attack. with the targeted Kamala Harris in the past, and it goes on. Hmm, hmm, hmm. Hakeem Jeffries, it's a very stupid man. He just sounds stupid, he acts stupid, he says stupid things. At the American AFT, American Federation of Teachers Convention, that's like, you know, a Communist Party USA convention. Cut 11, go. A week from this Sunday will be only 100 days out with an opportunity to change direction in the United States of America. The MAGA extremists, they talk a lot about regime change. Okay, the one regime change that we need to bring about is throw MAGA extremists out of the Congress in November. Hmm.

Cut 12. Randy Weingarten, complete fraud, phony, and fool. The head of the AFT. Cut 12, go. This time, the country elected Donald Trump. And, well, remember that warning? You know, I'm one of these outliers who doesn't believe these public sector teacher unions should even exist. And this is one of the reasons. They shake down their teachers, 35% of whom or so are Republicans. They steal their money. They are radical, hardcore leftists. They support the DSA in Chicago. They're openly communist. And these are the people teaching our kids. It's hopeless if we can't fix these things. Go ahead. Well, the barbarians aren't at the gate. I think the barbarian is at the podium. I won't comment on her looks, Mr. Bidu, that would be very rude. I'll be right back. You don't have to overpay for big wireless.

We're traveling the world of the enemies, domestically, overseas, and here's another one. By the way, did you see the president's speech last night? I thought it was superb and incredibly substantive and informative. You can go to whitehouse.org. I think that's the site, right, Rich? Sorry, whitehouse.gov, whitehouse.gov. And there's reams and reams of information there if you're interested in going through it. Lots of it is redacted, but as you go through it, you can piece things together. And one of the things that really pops out there, because I took a peek at it earlier today, is the massive amount of voting information the communist Chinese have gathered from us illegally. They've gone into our voting systems, and they've truly gathered the identities, the information of hundreds of thousands of voters. Hundreds of thousands of voters.

And so I think, I hope, we're not calling Xi Jinping our friend anymore. He never was, really, was he? But here we go. Yahoo News. China builds full-scale U.S. destroyer replica in Jijing Desert to target real warships. These people are serious about war. And they just love it when the suckers among us, the isolationists, the appeasers, and the pacifists. Keep attacking us and making it more and more difficult to build up our security and to defend ourselves. China builds full-scale U.S. destroyer replica in the desert to target real warships. They've constructed a full-scale three-dimensional replica of a U.S. Navy Arley-Burk-class guided missile destroyer at a weapons testing facility. and the Taclamakan Desert, the most structurally detailed warship mock-up yet identified, yet identified. The discovery first reported by CNN using imagery from U.S. geospatial intelligence company Vantor indicates that the PLA is refining its ability to strike one of the United States most capable and widely deployed surface combatants. Now, why are they doing that if they're for peace and tranquility? Construction began around October 2025 per satellite data from Sentinel 2 and Corpinius, with principal features assembled by May 11, 2026. The structure sits more than 2,700 kilometers from the nearest coastline, terrain that allows controlled weapons and censored trials. without the maritime traffic, weather variability, or foreign observation associated with the sea testing. Now, Joseph Wu of the Taiwan Defense Studies Initiative is credited with first identifying the structure. Beijing is not publicly confirmed, and well, of course they haven't. Unlike the flat ship-shaped outlines previously identified at communist Chinese desert ranges, the new mock-up is three-dimensional. It's a structure incorporating the hull, forward gun position, bridge, funnel, and helicopter flight deck of an Arlie Burke-class destroyer. The distinction matters. Early-generation flat targets were sufficient to mimic a radar cross-section for radar-guided missiles, a three-dimensional replica. is required for testing imaging infrared seekers, that is, guidance systems that identify a target by its physical shape rather than its radar return. The more accurate, the replica, the better Chinese engineers can determine whether a seeker can distinguish a real warship from a decoy, a chafe cloud, or another vessel in a crowded formation. They are really gearing up. The Arlie-Birk class is the operational backbone of the U.S. Naval Power Projection in the Western Pacific. These ships escort carrier strike groups provide Aegis ballistic missile defense for task forces, conduct anti-submarine warfare, and carry Tomahawk missiles, that is, cruise missiles. Destroyer Squadron 15, that is, 10 Arly Burke ships in Japan, the largest forward-deployed service combatant group in the world.

regularly transits that Taiwan Strait and South China Sea. In a conflict over Taiwan, these destroyers would protect aircraft carriers and amphibious groups from Chinese air and missile attack, degrading their capability as central to China's anti-access strategy across the region. China's maintained ship-shaped targets for at least five years. Max our imagery from 2021 showed a flat carrier outline in two Arlie Burke shapes at the same facility. They're gearing up. Now, the 2023 structure reproduced the outline of the Gerald R. Ford class carrier at approximately 1,085 feet, including its island superstructure. The progression to a three-dimensional destroyer with detailed superstructure marks a significant escalation in testing ambition and realism. The Department of Wars 2025 annual report attributes anti-ship roles to the DF21D and DF26 and DF27 ballistic missiles and identifies the YJ21 as a hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile. Though no publicly available evidence links any of these to the new replica confirms it has been used in a live test. You're talking about not just ballistic missiles, but hypersonic missiles. They're not kidding, and they're not fooling around. And so when we have the enemy within that's undermining our nation, that's attacking our economic system, which helps make our military possible, When we have the enemy within, the communist Chinese are spending money, and we have these doofuses that are focused on the Israeli influence operation, of which there's none, the communist Chinese influence operation, which is ubiquitous, the Qatari influence operation, which is ubiquitous, and we have these dumbasses going on and on about Israeli influencers. I mean, we have real enemies. That are trying to destroy us from within and without. Crazy. I'll be right back.

It is problematic to me that when a president of the United States wants to talk about the state of the country, wants to talk about what our intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement have found in terms of communist China interfering in the 2020 election, that they don't consider that news. It's really quite appalling. Elections are key to how we run this country. And if you have foreign interference in our elections, That's a big deal. And they have the receipts. They're right there online at whitehouse.gov. Whitehouse.gov. And if you would like to check it out this weekend, you really ought to do that and take your time and go through it. We have individual countries that seek to destroy our country. We have individuals in our country that seek to destroy our country. We have a fairly weak ruling class. We've got rogue judges. We've got faculty in most of our colleges and universities, not all, but too many, who view it as their job to brainwash to indoctrinate and to attack the very substance of this nation, the very existence of this nation. All these factors build up over the years. We've got a Democrat party, a Democrat party that's turning into some kind of a 1930s German party. And I'm not kidding. We have individuals who have claimed to be Republicans in the past, claim to be conservatives in the past, who also are throwbacks to the 1930s isolationists, economic socialists. Really quite shocking. Got some jerk out there by the name of Hazani. I never heard of him before, but apparently he's trying to make a name for himself. National conservatism. And I'm a liberal. The guy clearly has mashed potatoes for brains, in my humble opinion. But he was all in with Tucker Carlson. He's all in with the VEP. He's all in with all this. He thinks he's got a clever new philosophy. He's got nothing. says Reagan was a populist. There's always some level of populism when you're running for office or when you're governing, but he was not a populist. It was a traditional conservative who had the ability and the wisdom to reach out to the population, to convey ideas to them. But he was a conservative. I campaign for him 76 and 80, and they worked for him for him for eight years. We'll be right back. Thank you. As the United States marked 250 years of independence, were reminded that freedom isn't merely inherited. It must be defended, cherished, and passed on to those who come after us. And for generations, America and Israel have stood together, unified by a belief in liberty, faith, democracy, and the God-given dignity of every human life. Those shared values have endured through triumph and trial alike. Today, the people of Israel continue to face relentless attacks and daily uncertainty.

This is not the time for indifference, but for resolve. Through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, you can stand alongside your Jewish brothers and sisters in Israel. And to commemorate this historic anniversary, you can request your free U.S.-Israel flagpin from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a symbol of two nations, of freedom and faith, and of your commitment to stand with Israel when it matters most. Visit Levin for thefellowship.org to request your... U.S. Israel flagpin today. That's Levin, L-E-V-I-N for the Fellowship.org. He's here. He's here. Now, broadcasting them from the underground command post. Deep in the fowls of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. 877-381-3811. That's the number, America. Bottom of the hour, we will have a chit-chat. 877-381-381. Chairman Jim Jordan will be on the program shortly. Peace by Richard Goldberg and Roger Zakhim, two great individuals. Real clear politics. Here at the vice president said at one point, Israel only has one friend in the United States. And they wanted to address that. They write, support for Israel around the world is declining. Former Chicago mayor and potential Democratic presidential candidate Rahm Emanuel declared in Israel last week, the only diplomatic achievement Israel is secured in the past three years is Somaliland. Is that true? Is Israel more isolated than ever? In left-wing circles, both in the United States and Western Europe, most certainly a trend many years in the making. But among conservatives globally, support for Israel is rising, and that's translating into a reversal of left-wing isolation across the western hemisphere and beyond. Argentina's president visited Israel in April to establish the Isaac Accords, a path to explain Israel's presence in Latin America, Bolivia's new president, and Chile's new president, both restored diplomatic times with Israel after taking office. These are all conservatives. In Colombia, The outgoing communist accused Israel of hacking an election after voters gave the nod to President Trump's preferred candidate, pro-American, pro-Israel, Ebelardo de la Esperia. He is pro-Israel, too. Looking north, the Conservative Party of Canada couldn't be more pro-Israel. From its leader there to its foreign minister, the conservatives of the Western Hemisphere are shattering the global left's attempt to isolate Israel. Let's look east across the pond. British Tories remain steadfastly opposed to the rising anti-Semitism in the UK, while reform brings more supporters of Israel and anti-Islamists into its fold each and every day. Slovenia, meanwhile, with its newly elected right-wing prime minister, Jines Janssa, has announced that it will move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem while rescinding the country's recognition of a Palestinian state. At the same time, Germany's Frederick Murs, India's Nurendra and Narendra Modi, are busy expanding their defense relationship with Israel. In addition to Germany and India, military delegations from Canada, Britain, France, Morocco.

Finland, Greece, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Estonia, Japan, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia, all came to Israel to learn from its military's battlefield lessons and innovations. even as some of its political leaders blasted Israel in public, apparently not in private. American conservatives should be buoyed by Israel's rising stock among conservatives worldwide. Polling suggests that support remains rock-solid in the United States. A recent survey conducted by the Reagan Institute found 80% of MAGA Republicans think Israel's security matters to U.S. security and prosperity, including 63% of those under the age of 30. Over 70% of MAGA Republicans also support sending weapons to Israel, while 60% of Democrats oppose arming Israel. Another poll released by the Washington Free Beacon found likely Republican primary voters prefer a candidate who supports a strong U.S. Israel relationship by a margin of 57 points. The margin is 57 points. Republicans of Congress reflect their pro-Israel electorates. Just this week, not a single Republican voted for an amendment offered by outgoing representative libertarian whack job Thomas Massie, a fringe Israel-obsessed congressman, recently defeated in the GOP primary. Thomas Massie won the votes of 103 Democrats and exactly zero Republicans. Why do conservatives break against Emmanuel's claim of Israel being isolated? Many of these conservative leaders have a lived experience under pro-Islamist Marxist rule, which informs a world outlook that embraces a technologically innovative, culturally vibrant, and terrorist-fighting democracy like Israel. Now, these leaders see Israel for what it is, a strategic asset. And when they come to power, strengthening bilateral relations with Israel is a day-one action item. Here in the United States, support for Israel is an investment in helping secure another American century, one defined by winning the AI arms race, unlocking quantum computing, controlling the periodic table, mastering advanced energy solutions. Israel's way, way ahead, ladies and gentlemen, that Israel as a democracy with shared Judeo-Christian values, whose fight against terrorism and unmatched intelligence services saves countless American lives remains true. But that's only the foundation of the relationship. The future primes more, Israel as a technological juggernaut.

that can help us preserve another American century is tomorrow's promise. It is why, as America's national defense strategy notes, Israel is a model ally. It's also why Israel's position within non-traditional multilateral frameworks continues to strengthen. The Abraham Accords have expanded to include Kazakhstan, a Muslim majority country. Turkey's rise alongside U.S. brokered peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan is bringing, let's see, them closer to Israel, not Turkey, the other countries. Greece and Cyprus are doubling down on their eastern Mediterranean strategic partnership with Israel too. Interesting, isn't it? You haven't heard any of this before, have you? It might be a surprise for people to learn that Venezuela just a few months ago, the headquarters for Iran in the Western Hemisphere with no relations with Israel for a generation welcomed Israeli aid into Caracas after the last month's devastating earthquake. So when Rahm Emanuel, and he's not alone, JD2, declares Israel more isolated than ever, why is it that we instinctively nod our heads and think it's true? There are indeed alternate universes, where it certainly feels true, the dystopian United Nations, the cadre of clickbait podcasters, feeding a Marxist, Islamist, Nazi medley of talking points to young people with no living attachment to World War II, no memory of September 11. and the immediate coverage of Amman's own party, which now openly embraces communists, terrorist sympathizers, and people with Nazi tattoos. The socialist ascendancy, I would say Marxist Islamist ascendancy, within the Democrat Party is a very real phenomenon that threatens American support for Israel. An Islamist ascendancy in Western Europe is very real, too, with negative effects on relations with a Jewish state. But from the Western Hemisphere to Europe to the Middle East to India, Israel is not as isolated as you might think. Richard Goldberg, former White House National Security Official, senior advisor to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. Roger Zakheim, former General Counsel and Deputy Staff Director at the House Armed Services Committee. He's the director of the Ronald Reagan Institute and author of the forthcoming book, Peace Through Strength. These are two brilliant men. And I'm glad they put this out here and set the record straight, because the record needed to be set straight. You've got the Woke Reich, and the Marxist Islam is saying the same thing, the media regurgitating this. You've got envoys repeating this nonsense. People in and out of the government, in and out of the White House repeating this nonsense. And it's going to become even more ubiquitous, that is Israel's bilateral relationships. because it is a technology juggernaut. It is a military juggernaut, Iron Dome defensive weapons, as well as offensive weapons. Its leadership in medical technology and in drug technology is really only second to ours, but in some cases it's beyond everybody's. I'll be right back.

Well, it's good to have Chairman Jim Jordan with us. How's that for grabbing the audience, Chairman Jim Jordan? And Chairman Jim Jordan, a couple things here. First of all, let's talk about Jack Smith. It's a very rogue prosecutor, what he did, and how can he be held to account? Can Congress make a referral to the Department of Justice? Tell us what's going on here. Yeah, we sure can, and we are working on that as we speak. Our staff is digging into it, looking at the transcript. We think it's probably warranted based on the fact that he said when he talked to Congress that he did not get the contents of communications with members of Congress, and now it looks like that's not accurate because we know the National Archives turned over to his team, Jack Smith, special counsel team. communications, the actual contents of text messages between people in the administration, the first Trump administration, and members of Congress. And they did not go through, based on what we got from the Justice Department, did not go through a filter. So they didn't screen it. They just got the information. And the guy, it looks like who got it, Thomas Wyndham, someone we've already deposed, who worked on Jack Smith's team. And we've already referred Mr. Wyndham for obstructing our investigation. And it looks like... He got that information and now also looks like Jack Smith wasn't square with us when he testified. In fact, it looks like he denied ever looking at any text, didn't he? Yep, he did. And again, you know this, Mark, because you're one smart lawyer, but this is a separation of powers issue. This is speech or debate in the Constitution. If you're going to get the communications between members of the legislative branch with people in the administration, as they're going about figuring out how they're going to vote on pending legislation, how they're going to do their job as a legislator, you have to, you have to filter that out. Because that is directly related to our job as legislators. And they did not do that. That is a problem. I do not know why the National Archives just turned this stuff over to him. But it did. It was the Biden administration. I think it's maybe all part of this weaponization. And remember, this is on top of what Jack Smith, we already know what he did. 16 days after Kevin McCarthy became Speaker of the House, Jack Smith went to get his phone records. So the logs of who he called, when he called him, how long the call lasted, who called him, he got all that information. 16 days after Kevin McCarthy becomes the second in line to the president, the top Republican in government, he got my phone records for two and a half years. And now we find out, because he was trying to say, oh, no, no, I just got the logs. I didn't get content. Now we find out, in fact, oh, he did get content of communications via these text messages. And so that's why this is so egregious and so wrong. Yeah, it's unbelievable. and the Department of Justice under Biden, any kind of role that they may have played or you don't know yet?

Well, Jackson was appointed by Merrick Garland, so yeah, they played a role. This is the guy Merrick Garland wanted to go after President Trump. And by the way, we never should forget. And you've talked about this a lot and been great on this, of course. We never should forget. The Biden Garland Justice Department is also the Justice Department that sent agents to school board meetings to spy on parents. They're also the Justice Department that had the Richmond Field Office of the FBI. write the memorandum, the now famous memorandum that said, oh, if you're a pro-life Catholic, you're an extremist. And then it was the administration. Chris Wright said, we've given you all the information about that, all the material, all the communications. And lo and behold, when President Trump gets reelected, he goes into office, the new Justice Department comes in. Todd Blanche sends us information that they didn't give us from the Garland Justice Department. They held stuff back from us. So it's all of that. coupled now with what we learned about what Jack Smith did to members of Congress. That is, again, why it was the weaponization of government against your political opposition? It really is stunning. And it is amazing how it rolls off the back of most of the media like it's just no big deal. This is a big, big deal. And you know, Chairman, when the Trump administration pushes back, they want to hold people to account, it's called retribution. It's not retribution. It's holding people to account for the lawlessness that they've conducted, right? It sure is. And John Bolton has been held to account. James Comey's been indicted. I do believe that John Brennan is next. I mean, John Brennan is lawyering up. We did a referral for John Brennan six months ago because he definitely lied to us. in an investigation last Congress on a different subject. But we were asking me about the 51 Intel, you know, former Intel officials who signed that ridiculous letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian information operation when they knew it wasn't. He lied to us about other questions we asked him about the whole Russia collusion bologna. So I think he's likely to be indicted. I think it's warranted, you know, be indicted there in the Southern District of Florida. Mm-hmm. Now, what was the other thing, Mr. producer? I forget. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The president's speech last night laying out, and by the way, it's for everybody to see you in the world there on the computer, and people are going through it. Communist China interfering with the election? What do you know about that? Yeah, we've got our staff is looking at the documents digging into it. The one thing we did discover is, you know, and the president records this in his remarks last night, which I thought he was right on target and stressing just how important photo ID is, you know, voter ID and just to the sanctity of our election process. But one of the things he talked about was this individual at the FBI who said she was running a shadow FBI.

We actually deposed that lady. We deposed her. Nikki, I forget her name, but I'm in front of me right now. But we deposed her in the last Congress as part of our overall investigation into the weaponization of government. And we're going to go back and look at that transcript. So, yeah, the president, again, underscoring what we all know, what all your listeners know, Mark, that it is just good common sense. to require photo ID. It's good common sense to have the most secure election process we can have versus, you know, what seems what the Democrats want, which is no, no, photo ID, let everyone vote, do all these mail-in voting and everything else. And now with this potential foreign influence that the president's alert is to, we're going to dig into that as well. You know, Jim Jordan, we're seeing a very diabolical and evil movement, these Marxist Islamists. They're secreting themselves within the Democrat Party, and they're actually welcome. There's very little pushback despite what we're hearing. And this has a very grave, this is a very grave threat to the entire republic, is it not? It is. You know, someone said, I take the same view you do, Mark. Someone said, oh, this is going to help us in the midterms politically. And that may be the case, but what's going on in that party is bad for the country. I said this a couple weeks ago, I was doing the speech, and I said, the once great party of FDR and JFK is now anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and socialist. And it's frightening. And it's so radical that... Even in New York, Dan Goldman, Dan Goldman was the guy Adam Schiff brought in to be the impeachment counselor seven years ago when they did the ridiculous secret impeachment down in the Intelligence Committee. And I got put on the Intelligence Committee by Leader McCarthy to fight this. I spent time with Dan Goldman and Schiff in the bunker in the basement of the Capitol doing these depositions and hearings and all this stuff the ship was doing. After that's over, he comes back to New York. He runs for Congress wins. He's running for reelection and gets beat by 30 points because even the impeachment counselor for Adam Schiff wasn't good enough for the radical left. That's how ridiculous this has become. And it is, and then when you couple that with the vote that took place a couple days ago, where 103 of them voted against helping our best ally, the state of Israel, that's unbelievable. So that's how bad it's become. And it's why we have to keep speaking out and talking about this special bond that exists between these two countries, the United States and Israel, and not let this stuff get a hold and not let it get any traction at all in our party. At 30 seconds. Do you think you'll ever run for governor or the Senate? No, I'm a house guy through it and through. If I was going to run for the Senate, I had done that a few years back. But, no, I don't want to do that. I like the responsibility I have it. And shoot, if I was down there. So you're the John Quincy Adams of Ohio.

Yeah. Just a house, just the house. Keep up the good work, Mark. Always fun to be on your show. All right, brother. Thanks for all your help and all you're doing. You're a good man. Jim Jordan is a great guy. We'll be right back. Mark Levin, the Funder on the right. Call him now. 877381-381. All right, folks. Let's take some calls. Bob. Ministota on the Mark Levin app, Bob. How are you, sir? I'm doing super. Thank you, Mark. This is such an honor. So earlier, you mentioned Randy Weingarten. And I just want to let you know there's a case from 2018. Janice first asked me that government unions can no longer force union membership. You know, and I don't think that a lot of... union members in municipalities in state government or whatever know that because it's not something they talk about and it's one of those kind of taboo issues that you're kind of quiet about because you know you kind of get ostracized well that's what i was going to ask you doesn't the union know who's in and who's out yes Absolutely. And I opted out, I opted out shortly thereafter. And what they've done now is they've created an opt-out window to, like, force you to stay in the union longer. So if you call up today and your opt-out window was three weeks ago, you have to wait until the following year to get out. That's being litigated currently. But I encourage anyone, you know, that's part of the union that doesn't, you know, want their free speech violated. by the union, which is that's basically what the case was about. That's a very good public service announcement. You're right. I remember that case. All right, my friend, very good. It's super important. It's a way to defund some of these unions, at least of some of their money. Don't forget, life, liberty, and Levin. Tomorrow night, that's Saturday night, 8 p.m. Eastern. Set your DVR or whatever you use to record TV. And don't forget Sunday. Same time, same place. 8 p.m. Eastern on Fox, Life, Liberty, and Levine. Folks, these are really, really important shows we're doing now to push back against the enemy. Foreign and domestic. That's right, the enemy. Foreign and domestic. All right. Let's take some more calls here as I move between emails. Just stick with me. Here we go. Yo, yo, yo. Okay. Here we is. There we be. Here we at. Brian, Jefferson City, Montana. The great KCAP. Go. Hello, Mark. Good evening. So it's great listening to you. I listen to you every day and the way home from work. Thank you, brother. What I'd like to suggest is all of these leftists. socialistic idiots need to get on a one-way plane out of our country, leave us alone, let us live our life. We've earned this life. We've earned this great country we live in. And they just need to, if they don't like it here, then let's let them leave. Let's help them go. I wish they'd go, but they're not going to go. They ought to enjoy North Korea. They ought to enjoy communist China, those concentration camps.

But they're not going to leave because they are free to do what they're doing in this country, free to attack us, free to undermine us, and they kind of like it. They kind of like it. Brian, thank you for listening, man, when you're going home, and we appreciate you. Take care of yourself. Let's keep going. Let's see here. Arthur, Leesburg, Virginia, I'm quite familiar with it. The great WMAL, go right ahead. Thank you, Mark, for taking my call. I wanted to make a point that you talked about how the Republicans didn't have any momentum. And I think that's because they're stuck in an old paradigm that's no longer true. And that's that elections are primarily local. And that used to be true at one point when you had blue dog Democrats or pro-life Democrats. It's not true now. When you become a Democrat, you... subscribe and support a whole set of things which are contrary to most of us. That's a great point. See, and what I would suggest that the Republicans is they start contrasting what's happening in blue states. Like, why when the ICE is operating in a blue state, so that you have crowds and you show all the confusion, then you show it in a red state to say, what's the difference? And then you go back and you show the president's question or his request that is the state of the union. He said, if you think that the responsibility of government is to protect your citizens from criminals all stand up and not a single Democrat stood up. And I just think people, you may not like that. Well, I think your fundamental point is very important. I really do. I think it's a good point, which is. We have to nationalize these local elections. You know, you can do both, and we should do both, but we need to nationalize them. We need people to understand what's at stake. I think that's a great point. All right, Arthur, take care. Have a great weekend, my friend. Let us go to Kevin Saratoga County, New York. The great W. G.D.J. Go. Oh, thank you, Mark. I want to also thank you for that recapitulation of all the countries that do stand with Israel. I hope they don't have tariffs on Israeli goods. Now, what I called about was recently the Raging Cajun Snake, James Carville, said we have to get back to moderate Democrats. So we have to look at what they want. The moderate Democrats won unlimited. unborn babies being slaughtered. They want boys changed into girls, girls changed into boys. They want adult men in girls' locker rooms and shower rooms. They only became scared when Zohran Mamdani took the reins, and he said he's going after everybody's wallet, basically. That freaked them out. Otherwise, everything they do, and of course the issue of power. Right. Read your book about power. It's all about that because the money follows the power. Well, there are some moderate Democrats, not many. Not many elected. There's more moderate Democrats among the rank and file than there are elected to Congress because of the nature of the primary system. But there are a lot of blue-collar workers who listen to this program who work in mines, who work in lumber, who work in construction, cops, firefighters, and so forth.

These are kind of Reagan Democrats or Trump Democrats. They do exist. The problem is they don't exist at the congressional level. I mean, you can count them on one hand if you're lucky. All right, Kevin. Great call. Very much appreciated. Great calls tonight. We'll be right back. Mark Levin. At farmers, our honesty is contagious. Wait, am I going to catch honesty? Well, when you're with farmers, it's kind of inevitable. Well, how long does it take to... I lied to you when you asked if I knew what a deductible was. I don't know my dad's birthday. I thought umbrella policies were for rainstorms. Actual rainstorms. I have it, don't I? You don't just have honesty. You have farmers. Bump, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Learn more at farmers.com. Underwritten by Farmer's truck or fire insurance exchanges or affiliate. Products not available in every state. All right, let's switch back to the call board. Let us go to Muhammad, Detroit, Michigan, on Sirius XM satellite. Muhammad, how are you, my friend? Hey, Mr. Levin. I'm good. How are you? I'm very well. Thank you. Well, I just wanted to ask you one question as a American Lebanese who grew up in South Lebanon on the border with Israel. I'm just going to ask you one question. why everyone is not paying enough attention to Hezbollah and what he's doing, and how we can finish the job, the Lebanese people, someone who's from a border town, a town that was infested by Hezbollah and his supporters. My family is supporters for Hezbollah. I'm just going to ask how we can finish the job, how we can. build peace between the two countries and how we can just make people aware of how dangerous if Hezbollah. You know, the problem, the Mohammed, you raised a great point, and actually the Israeli government and the Lebanese government are working on a peace situation where they really want to work together, but Hezbollah, as you know, is this massive terrorist militia. It kills Muslims, it kills Christians, it kills people that don't agree with them. It is part of the regime in Iran. And yet we have individuals like Thomas Barack. Maybe you've heard of this envoy. He's an envoy. He's an ambassador to Turkey, but he thinks he's an envoy to all these countries who literally undermines the state of Israel, who literally comes to the defense of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. And I think he's the worst appointment the administration has made, bar none. Bar none. And Israel can't leave that buffer zone. It has to protect itself. And people don't understand while it's there. It's also protecting people in these...

these border communities against Hezbollah at the same time. It's a very difficult situation. I think if the United States and the West would finally get behind Israel and the Lebanese government, including their army, that they could be wiped out, they can be pushed out. But as long as we have people like Tom Barack, I don't think it's going to happen, Muhammad. I am from these border communities, and I tell you that Israel, by doing this, it's doing a favor for us. First, not for Israel, not for the Americans, for us. As someone who grew up in these communities that was brainwashed by Hezbollah, my family is part of Hisbalah. I denounced them a year ago. I can see... You know what, I like you. I have to go. Why don't you call next week, okay? I'll do that. Thank you so much. All right, Muhammad. God bless you, man. We need to hear from people like Muhammad who come from these areas and tell you the truth about what's going on. And the fact that Hezbollah, Iran, Hamas, the Houthis are horrendous, and little Israel is trying to do everything they can to protect these people. We go to America every Friday in honor of you. Here we go.

This weekend, starting tomorrow night, Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern on Fox, Life, Liberty, and Levin. Sunday, 8 p.m. Eastern on Fox. Life, Liberty, and Levin, I'll do it as long as you watch. When you lose interest, I will just go away. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, ICE, our truckers. The people in Ukraine, the people in Iran, the people in Israel. And you, the American people. God bless you. Good night, Spritey and Griffey and Pepsi and Smokey. Good night, Zelda and Gigi and Indian Patton and Rory. Good night, Marty and Barney. Good night, Dad and Mom. We're holding down the fort and Leo and Joe and Bernard. And good night Teddy. And good night Lou. And tonight all the patriots who've passed. We miss you all. All right, America. Have a wonderful weekend. Keep your chin up. Pass the word. We live in the greatest nation on the face of the earth. And hopefully I'll see you Saturday night and Sunday night, 8 p.m. Eastern on Fox. God bless each and every one of you.
