7/1/26 - Why the Left's Framework Is the Most Dangerous Threat Today

Hey folks, Mark Levin here. Before we dive into today's episode, I want to talk about my go-to gold and silver company. Monetary gold is over 25 years helping Americans understand physical gold and silver with an education-first, no-pressure approach, and support for IRA-eligible options. Monetary gold has a complementary guide. It's free to help you understand precious metals. Call them right now, 877 now gold, or visit mark lovesgold.com and request the free guide.

He's here. He's here. Now broadcasting 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. Thank you.

Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-381-871-877-381-38-1-38-1-38-1-3-8-1-1. It's hard to know where to begin some days. I'm watching something that's very important. More and more TV hosts, radio hosts, good podcasters, are talking about this. fusion of Marxism and Islamism and how this is a cancer on society. The president's talking about the communists. And what's interesting is we've been talking about this a very long time, you and I. Now, this book I wrote American Marxism came out. I'm trying to remember. I think it was during COVID. It came out. 2021. It's not that long ago, what, five years ago. Sold 1.3 million copies, which means many of you bought it and read it. And yet most of the people talking to us today on TV and radio and podcasts have not. They act like there was no warning ever given.

Even talk about things that are straight out of the book. That everything the Democrats do is about power. Where have you heard that before? Power. They want power. My God, we spent months and months on that and an entire book on that. In fact, I think I called it on power. And that book came out just a couple of years ago. early last year, or mid-last year. If you read American Marxism and on power, you will know everything that's going on. You will understand everything that's going on, more so than the people who are talking to you about it today. Now, I've spent a lot of time on the Internet over the last, I guess it's been six months, right, Mr. Producer, would you say? That's going to slow down. I don't think there's as much benefit in that, but I wanted to explore it. I don't find that there's a whole lot of profundity, substance. There's a lot of bickering, a lot of child's play. There is some good information there with some good people, but it's the exception, not the rule. I'm not putting anybody down. I'm just explaining it. And so, you only have so much time in the day, and I'm spending 20 hours a day on these things, working harder than I ever have, and I want to. But it has to be time well spent. It has to be time well spent.

And I think my best time spent is right here on radio, on my TV show, and in my books. But it troubles me immensely that individuals who are talking about current events are not that well schooled. And I don't mean by teachers, I mean by themselves. They don't spend a lot of time really digging on on the subject. And so now we're talking about the red, green, green, red alliance. I don't like that because it confuses people. Why don't we be blunt about it? The Marxist Islamist alliance. And they talk about the woke Reich. It's the woke R-E-I-C-H. I coined that phrase. People say they did it. We know what we do here. Because it is a quasi, if not full-blown, neo-fascist movement. that was gaining a foothold in the Republican Party. I took it on. You were with me every step of the way. About 14 months ago. That whole element now has been exposed. Now they want to create a third party or a opposition party to the conservative Republicans. And so their goal now is to defeat us and to elect. radical Marxist Islamist Democrats. Because these alliances are about power. That's what they're about. And if they can't find power in one place, they'll look in another place. Now, I think it's important that we actually dig into this. You know, a good friend of mine, Jeffrey Lord, it's been a friend of mine a very long time from Pennsylvania as well. When American Marxism came out, he wrote about it almost a year ago to the day, July 8, 2021, excuse me, 2021, not a year ago, five years ago to the day. He says, as usual, Mark Levin pulls no punches. His very first chapter in his new book, American Marxism, it's here, opens with a seriously precise description of the challenge America faces. Levin writes, the counter-revolution to the American Revolution is in full force. You can no longer be dismissed or ignored for its devouring our society and culture, swelling around our everyday lives, and ubiquitous in our politics, schools, media, and entertainment. Once a mostly unrelatable fringe and subterranean movement, it is here, and it is everywhere. The counter-revolution movement of which he speaks is Marxism. He says it's Marx. Communist manifesto recall that famously divided the world into oppressor and oppressed. Levin astutely notes that the use of this formula in today's America by the left means that either you are part of the righteous revolution for liberation and transformation or you are not. This explains but only in part the cowardice of corporatists, I wrote, professional athletes, broadcasters, artists, actors, writers, journalists who in the face of such Tomol. buckle under the pressure, seek to avoid the mob's notice through various forms of appeasement and capitulation, and in some cases participate in their own transfiguration and even disembowment. Lord writes, no more prescient description could be made of an event that occurred before American Marxism's released its official published aid is next week, and he goes into what happened in Atlanta, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and all that.

He says this was a vivid example of Levin's description of corporations buckling under the pressure to avoid the mob's notice. Discussing the role of the mob, Mark zeroes in on Marxist anarchist ideology of Antifa and Black Lives Matter. In fact, well after Black Lives Matter's popularity had surged in 2020, a 2015 video surface. They revealed the BLM co-founder Patrice Collier's describing herself from her fellow BLM organizers as, quote, trained Marxist, unquote. Truth counts, mass movements, Mark also notes, relies significantly on indoctrination and brainwashing, which is exactly the case with BLM and Antifa. Now we can add this so-called democratic socialist movement. American Marxism and its entire chapter devoted to Hate America, Inc. And in it, Mark explains the long history of those who have openly pushed the Marxist agenda at America's colleges and universities. Levin writes that progressive intellectuals of the late 1800s were hostile toward capitalism and constitutional Republican systems that established barriers against tyrannies of various kinds, including that which is born from the mob or centralized autocracy, and of course, that would become known as progressivism. On the eve of American Marxism publication, America had just passed through the traditional July 4 holiday. Mark's description of the results generated by Hate America, Inc. was on vivid display. The headline on July 6th, New York Post, was nothing, if not confirmation of Mark's point. It read, red, white, and woke. July 4th weekend became liberal bash fest of America. The New York Post reported liberal politicians and commentators took special joy in celebrating July 4th by denouncing America. Statue of Liberty was not a symbol of freedom, but a symbol of hypocrisy. The flag was polarizing. The national anthem doesn't speak for everyone or anyone. Among the remarks by these hate America Marxists was this jewel of a tweet from Democrat Congressman Cori Bush of Missouri. She said, when they say that the Fourth of July is about American freedom, remember this, the freedom they're referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and black people still aren't free. And then it goes on. American Marxism also lasers in on critical race theory, correctly calling it what so many outraged parents and throughout the land have seen, is it has taught to their school-age children. Mark writes in short, CRT is an insidious and racist Marxist ideology, spreading throughout our culture and society. He cites George Lanoe, research professor of public policy and political science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. He writes, the two best-selling proponents of CRT, Robin DiAngelo, and Ibrahim X. Kendi, CRT begins with the presumption that race is the primary way to identify and analyze people, and consequently posits a racial hierarchy that supposedly exists with whites on top, blacks on bottom. Individual behavior is insignificant because everyone in America functions within the society of systemic racism, structural racism, institutional racism. Not only is this correct, writes Lord, but in fact, DiAngelo and Kendi and CRT itself are nothing more than recycled George Wallaceisms. Wallace, for those who came in late, was the 1960s-era Democrat Governor Alabama, who proudly proclaimed he supported segregation today, tomorrow, and forever. In other words, Wallace, as with CRT proponents, believe that race is the primary way to identify, and it goes on. Now, the important part of American Marxism,

As I was laying out in this book, the revolution and the transformation that was taking place, much of it right before our eyes, but much of it under the radar. In our classrooms, I pointed out the Marxist books that were being used to teach history, that were being teach to use political science, and how American Marxism was an Americanized form, a customized, a tailored form of Marxism applicable to the United States. where they were using race, not just wealth and anti-capitalism, but race and ethnicity. You can see it now, the so-called Palestinian cause. These are key to who they are and what they are. And that's why there's a marriage between the Islamists and the Marxists in the United States. And I watched our friend Will Kane just to an interview on Fox of the leader. the Democratic Socialists of America. And he was asked flat out, are you a communist? He said, look, they're not like in Russia and so forth. And so he said, no, you know, Soviet Union. He said, no, no, no, no, no. The Soviet Union's dead and so forth and so on. But the follow-up was that was a head fake. He's an American Marxist, an American communist, that again, they are customizing. and tailoring the Marxist ideology for the American culture and the American society. This is what's been going on for more than 20 years, but it really came to a height five years ago, and of course is in full display right now. The reason why October 7th and the slaughter of Jews on October 7, 2023. For many people seem like, wow, automatically and unbelievably, these revolutionary movements came to the fore isn't because they were, you know, doing so out of nowhere, they were planned. They're systemic. The Palestinian cause, on October 8th, even before the Israelis responded, they were talking about genocide in Gaza. They were ready to go, funded again by foreign governments as well, Qatar among others, Iran, funded in our country by billions and billions flowing into our schools. There's a reason why Qatar is the number one, funder of terrorism and terror front groups and ideology in America, and communist China's number two, because they have the same objective. American Marxism. Now, what does that have to do with on power? Stick with me. We'll be right back.

No, no, a lot of you may not read. Maybe you want to listen to an audio version. I don't even know if they're available. I checked Amazon. These books are all heavily discounted because Amazon is about moving as many products as they can. I am not pushing this to make money. It's not about making money. I'm not going to make a lot of money off this. It's about you being the spokesman, the activist, the person at the dinner table, the breakfast table, a church or synagogue, or wherever you are. explaining things to people. Explaining things to people. Now, it's a very short segment now, and I want to extend this obviously well beyond the bottom of the hour, but now the book on Power, which is the last book I wrote, which came out about this time last year, about 11 months ago, give or take. I want to get into this with you, too, because... Those of you who are really, really smart and been with me a long time, you understand each one of these books really is a chapter, a chapter, a chapter, a chapter in a series of books. These ten books, these ten books, starting with the Supreme Court book, Men in Black, all the way up to On Power. I suspect most of this will be viewed as, wow, this is good stuff when I'm dead and gone, and that's fine, but I'm worried about the here and now and what's going on in our country. So stick with me. It's all very important. We'll be right back.

Call in now at 877381-381. All right. What about this power issue? You know, when I write a book, as you know, I spend four, five, six months explaining it on TV, on radio, and person to a number of people, because I think it's very important. On power begins, many have written about and debated the issue of power, including the ancients and modern philosophers, scholars, and statesmen alike. Stick with me, this is important. Why? Because power determines your social arrangements, quality of life, and more to the point of this book. whether you are free or enslaved or some degree of either. In short, it determines your personal fate, the fate of your community and the fate of a nation. Yep. There are infinite ways to view power, innumerable contexts and circumstances in which to apply it. There's truly no simple, concise, all-purpose definition for what is meant by power. Clearly, however, it's more than a mere word. To spend time thinking, talking, or writing about it is not a mere abstraction, a useless amorphism or an elitist esoterrorism. Power is a term meant to describe some kind of force or energy that surrounds us all the time, is both ubiquitous in your life, into the life of an entire society, and is consequential in every way. Power is a core reality and characteristic of human existence, yet without more to go on. such as context and circumstance it can be ambiguous and elusive. In all human pursuits, including personal pursuits and life events, power matters. In a macro level, power shapes economies, politics and governments. Moreover, there are many variations, implied powers, necessary powers, assumed powers, granted powers, defined powers, and on and on. For most people, these are unstated and often unnoticed or obscure kinds of power, but they exist and they matter. Indeed, power is inextricably linked to liberty, although it's not to be confused with liberty itself. Power determines if there's too much liberty, like anarchy, or too little, like tyranny, depending on how power is exercised, who exercises it, and if it is bound by human rights?

The American Revolution is an important and obvious example of power properly pursued and exercised, the point of which to promote individual and societal liberty, including by means of representative limited, divided government, that is, ordered liberty. conversely autocrats of every stripe and in all ages have exploited liberty to empower themselves at the expense of the liberty of others in fact one's use of liberty this way to expand one's own power to diminish if not denude the liberty of others is in a real sense of paradox and it is a cancer that apparently metastasizes over time within democracies Of course, there are democracies that have lasted several centuries, but in the end, they have all succumbed to the steady increase in the centralization of power and a decline in individual and societal liberty. Sadly, this appears to be the nature of things, right now, too. To be clear, then, even the most widely conceived nation states, mindful of man's abuses of power and established with the intent of curbing and restraining that power, seem to fail in the end. Gone are Athens, Rome, and numerous lesser societies. Democracy struggle against the centralization of power almost from the moment they're established. Keep in mind, the first book, American Marxism, I go into incredible, comprehensive detail about what is happening in our culture, in our society, in our educational system, in school boards, to parenting, in our culture. And what is Marxism? What is it? It's obviously a defective form of a philosophy and ideology, but it is tyranny, dressed up as humane, fairness. In a word, it's emotional. When you listen to the Marxist speak, it's all about emotion. You deserve this, and you should get that, but let's go on with power. Because they're related in a big damn way. History is replete with examples of tyrants grabbing power in the name of liberty. Prime example exists in Marxist regimes, liberation through revolution, class warfare, were the masses, these so-called oppressed. I said the revolt against the powerful few, the so-called oppressors, and the promise of liberty through community and collectivism, results in hellish genocidal police states, ruling over the people in their name, but without their consent. and with an iron fist. Again, this is not only a phenomenon of tyrannies, as I noted in my first book, I mean, liberty and tyranny, not my first book, but an early book, liberty and tyranny. In her own country, President Abraham Lincoln observed that slave owners and abolitionists all claim to stand for liberty. Like liberty in the context of power, democracy. Is another word that is used by the power of Hungary to deceive and disarm, you know, like the Democratic Socialists of America? Democracy. That's right. Democracy is often alluded to by those who reject it, as they reject universal individual liberty, and where democracies exist, would destroy them.

In his book, Politics in the English Language, George Al Orwell writes about the perversion of political words used in a consciously dishonest way. I'm quoting him. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition but allows us here to think he means something quite different. It's almost universally felt, writes Orwell, that when we call a country democratic, we are praising it consequently. The defenders of every kind of regime claim that it's a democracy and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to anyone meeting. Now, me, the word democracy, like the word liberty, is frequently used as a rhetorical weapon to deceive the true intentions and conceal the real nature of the abusers. Again, these behaviors and tactics are not exclusive to tyrants and autocracies. It's a real and growing threat in Western societies as they increasingly centralized power in the name of unlimited egalitarian and so-called righteous causes. Environmental justice, economic justice, social justice, equity, reparations, nationalized health care, the existential threat of climate change and so forth, which require and in fact demand the centralization of power to supposedly ameliorate the perceived claimed and in some cases manufactured societal maladies, the final resolutions of which are not only impossible but are not necessarily intended to be solvable. The agitations, demands, and related propaganda are sledgehammers, with which to pummel the limited and divided institutional barriers to centralized power in democratic governments. It's exactly what's going on right now. So when you read American Marxism, you will understand the forces behind that. Some of them are ethnic. Some of them are race related. Some of them are economic related. Some of them are sex and gender related. Some of them are all of them. And the use and pursuit. of power. Let us narrow the focus. I start with the observation, which I believe is historically indisputable, yet potentially controversial, which you can infer from what I have already written, that over the millennia, mankind has generally suffered more from the abuse of power and the concomitant diminution of liberty than from its humane and righteous application. They're important exceptions, of course, the individuals' everyday life and society generally, but narrowing the focus even further in the long history of mankind, and even in modern times, the most pervasive form of governance under which most human beings live and have lived is authoritarian. Today, one need look only at the membership of the United Nations to prove the point. Some 70% of the world's population currently lives under brutal autocratic regimes. This race is an unpleasant question. Is this the natural state of mankind, at least in the communal sense, even if individuals themselves wish for and seek liberty? I term this negative power. So I'm creating a new philosophical framework here. I term this negative power. And I discuss that more fully in a later chapter called negative power.

That said, in a democratic negative power, in a democracy, negative power typically takes the form of a steadily increasing centralization of authority. That starts slowly, but eventually spreads more quickly to cover all corners of the nation, moving closer toward a quasi-autocratic model. It occurs primarily in three general ways, the imposition by the few, for example, the judiciary. The peaceful vote of the many, where the people willingly vote for their own demise, or the slow institutionalization of an acquiescence to, as Thomas Hobbes characterized it, a leviathan, that is a dominating and domineering army of non-representative bureaucrats. Of course, there are degrees to which centralization develops and occurs, some more aggressive and ominous than others. This is happening right now. That's why I'm taking the time to go through this. It's happening right in front of your eyes. Centralization in moderation, which is intended to secure liberty that does not exist or undergird existing liberty, that is threatened or diminished by factionalism, mob rule. Our anarchy is of a different character than power secured for power's sake or with a tyrannical mindset or purpose. And again, looking at our own history in the early days of our republic, the Articles of Confederation were abandoned because the national government lacked the power to do much. And it's explained by the National Archives just a few years after the Revolutionary War. Madison, Hamilton, and Washington feared their young country was on the brink of financial collapse. America's first Constitution, the Articles of Confederation, gave the Confederate Congress the power to make rules and request funds from the states, but it had no power to enforce them. I'm going to go on. That's not the point right now. I just was explaining the point of negative power. Obviously, human beings are imperfect. This is not much of a revelation. Yet it seems downplayed or ignored by too many in democracies who acquiesced to or even cheer for governmental centralization, when wrapped in promises of larger welfare state, ethnic, racial, economic empowerment, are godlike fixes to natural disasters and climate events. But the idea that the centralization of power, which necessarily concentrates authority in the hands of fewer imperfect individuals and whose base of knowledge is naturally narrow, It's a receipt for societal improvement, progress, stability, and well-being is not only counterintuitive, but contrary to everyday human experience in mankind's history. Indeed, what makes the individuals more perfect as decision-makers, more moral as people, or more informed, wise, or prudential than anyone else? Nothing. Auditrats are not known to possess such qualities or demonstrate them when exercising power. Most excel at acquiring power, but not much else. Indeed, those who achieve such a station exhibit a greater affinity for the darker side of human behavior, including corruption and dishonesty, immorality, and hubris, anger, vain glory, egomaniacal, and so forth and so on.

Although a rare good or perceived benefit may come from this wielding of power, such as the claim that the Italian fascist Benito Mussolini made the trains run on time. By the way, it's a myth. It's a farcical and awfully deadly delusion. Is this interesting to you, Mr. Medusa? Keep going, I will. Moreover, where is the evidence that concentrated power in the hands of administrative state? Where the bureaucrats consists of specially trained experts and societal organizers who know what is best for the people and know how best to achieve those ends, supposedly. Where has this ever existed anywhere? Certainly not in America, as will be discussed later. Contrarily from Aristotle and Cicero to John Locke and Montesquieu and numerous others, philosophers and scholars have argued for the wisdom of diversified, dispersed, mixed power within governments, that is, where power checks and balances power, which provides a greater likelihood of enlightened leadership and administration, greater respect and appreciation for the civil society and non-governmental parts of society, and more protection of individual sovereignty and free will, in essence. A positive power, a positive power structure attempts to contain and control the dark side of the human character, an experience, and emphasizes the capacity for a civilized in just society. I'm just going to read a little bit more, but you can see I spend a lot of time digging into this issue, and there's very few footnotes in this book, or end notes, I guess they call them, because these are my own thoughts. Excuse me. They're my own thoughts. Think about this. I think we better take a break, actually. And I don't want to get back to this because there's just a few more paragraphs I'm going to read to you, and then we will sum up. Because a lot of people are anxious right now, including me, worried about what's happening to the country. You see the enemy within. You see the Supreme Court ruling yesterday. You're very, very concerned about these elections. You see what's happening to the Democrat Party. What a Republican is going to do? What if the Democrats take over? There's a lot of tumult going on. It's all intentional. We are, in fact, under attack by the enemy within. More of the reason to understand what I'm trying to portray. We'll be right back.

Now, broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker. Somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-discreet building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877381, 381-877-381. 3811. I wanted to get through a little bit more. Highlight a few things. On this on power issue. I hope you're enjoying it. Look, I'm here. You're out there. I can't be certain. But I think it's certainly important to give it a shot, right? First thing I have to do, Mr. Perducos, I found out where I left off here. It's not essential. But one of the things I've found I start to talk about here is this issue of virtue, because you can hear the left. The left wants you to believe that what therefore is virtuous. Here we are. That's very dangerous. Montesquieu, one of the great Enlightenment philosophers who certainly influenced our constitutional period, separation of powers. was most widely read and cited philosopher during America's constitutional period. He's referred to directly in the Federalist Papers multiple times. And it is really quite incredible book, The Spirit of the Laws. Monteshoe explained that democracy and aristocracy are not free states by their nature. Political liberty is found only in moderate governments.

But it is not always in moderate states. It is present only when power is not abused, but it has eternally been observed that any man who has power is led to abuse it. He continues until he finds limits. Ready? Who would have thought it? He writes, even virtue has need of limits. So that one cannot abuse power, power must be checked. Let me repeat that. So one does not abuse power. Power must check power by the arrangement of things. Power must check power by the arrangement of things. That one sentence explains your constitution. That's why it's not a democracy. That's why it's not an autocracy. It is a representative constitutional republic. He said a constitution could be such that no one will be constrained to do the things the law does not oblige him to do or be kept from doing the things the law permits him to do. Now, hundreds of years later, British Christian theologian and scholar, brilliant man, author C.S. Lewis underscored Montesquieu's point about the abuse of power disguised as virtue. Lewis famously wrote the following. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercise for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under the robber barons than under omnipotent moral busy bodies. The robber barons, their cruelty may sometimes sleep, their cubidity may at some point be satiated. But those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do it, they do it so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to heaven, yet at the same time likelier to make a hell on earth. Their very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be cured, quote unquote, against one's will, and cured of states. which we may not regard as disease, is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason, or those who never will, to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals. Does that not define, does C.S. Lewis not define, Zohran Mamdani, and all these other Kami Pinkos? And Montescu further warn that... Should the distinct nature of these various branches of government dissolve one into the other, you will not have anything but tyranny any longer. So much in life orbits around this word, this idea, this belief of power. Most of the discussion to the extent it exists at all in an honest or coherent fashion. is in the form of generality, sloganeering, demagoguery, and the like, used by politicians, media, ideologues, and academicians to manipulate, confound, and deceive, which case power is used to control thought and discussion and language.

What I'm seeking to provoke is a better comprehension of what is meant by power, its impact on the individual and mankind generally, to stimulate a broader examination and dialogue about its applications. I hope you'll read the book. Again, I'm not out here pawing books. These are so far discounted, it's pennies on the dollar. But if you take the time to read American Marxism and on power, Doesn't matter which order you read them in. American Marxism is the second longest book I've ever written. On Power is the shortest book I've ever written. And both are power-packed, I think, with knowledge and I hope wisdom. You will have a comprehension of what is swirling around you right now in this country like you've never had before. Like you've never had before. Far beyond surface level. Far beyond surface level. And when I get into something else that's a little heavy. I've been wanting to do this for a while. It's been on my desk. If you saw my house, we don't even have enough bookshelves. And I, you know, we go into home goods and buy some of these bookshelf things. I mean, I got books stacked everywhere. And before I got married and I had a wife that set me straight, she does. She's something else. Very lucky. Used to spread my books out on the dinner table. Remember that, Mr. Producer? Packed, stacked up on the floor and so that's how I do my research. Now I have basically two offices, one on what I call the basement. She calls the den and then one on the first floor. And I go between them when I'm writing a book because there's books in both places just stacked up. And I gather more information, but I gather mostly from original writings. I'm not really interested in other sorts of things. It's why I have the Ayatollah Khomeini's Mankhamph right here on the desk, Islamic government. And I'll read some of this to you one day soon. But I wanted to tell you why historically.

The Persian people and the Jewish people have a bond of sorts. I want to tell you why. And you don't have to be Persian or Jewish or anything. I think to find this interesting because this is ancient history. From 559 to 529 BC. A long time ago. And in the most influential figures of ancient history from the National Geographic, it was actually quite a wonderful magazine, this particular one. Like many ancient rulers, the Persian conqueror Cyrus the Great. Cyrus the Great, and he was the emperor the Emperor. from 590 to 529, so a fairly long period of time, almost 40 years. He's also known as Cyrus II. He was born of royalty. The death of his father, Cyrus ruled the Akamenean dynasty and expanded his ancestral realm into a mighty empire. He triumphed not just through conquest, but also by showing singular tolerance and mercy to those he defeated. This was a very, very unique warrior. A brilliant military strategist, Cyrus vanquished the king of the Medes, then integrated all the Iranian tribes whose skill at fighting on horseback gave his army great mobility. His triumph over Lydia and Asia Minor, near the Aegean Sea, filled his treasury with that country's tremendous wealth. After conquering those lands, then the lands surrounding Mesopotamia, Cyrus closed it on Babylon. They scrundled over imposed forced labor and the demotion of their city's patron deity. Marduk, Babylonians turned against their king and saw no reason to oppose Cyrus. No. Cyrus was known to spare those who yielded to him. In 1539 BC, they opened their Bill Gates to the Persians who entered the city in peace amidst joy and jubilation according to an inscription touting Cyrus's triumph. The benevolent nature of Cyrus's reign took many forms. He placated the formerly powerful Medes by involving them in government. He adopted habits of dress and ornamentation from the Elamites. Across his conquered lands, he returned images of gods that had been seized in battle and hoarded in Babylon. And in Babylon itself, he publicly worshipped the city's revered Marduk. Cyrus's most renowned act of mercy, ready for this? Was to free the captive Jews. When Nebuchadnezzar had forced into exile in Babylon, Cyrus allowed them to return to their promised land through Jerusalem, after the Babylonians destroyed the first temple and forced them out. The Jews praised the Persian Emperor in Scripture as a savior to whom God gave power over other kingdoms.

so that he would restore them to Jerusalem and allow them to rebuild their temple. Cyrus the Great died around 529 BC while campaigning against defiant nomadic tribes around the Caspian Sea. But one measure of his greatness was the esteem in which he was held in later years by the Greeks, despite the bitter wars they waged against the Persian successors. More than 150 years after Cyrus's death, the Greek author Xenophon memorialized the ruler in his work. He said he honored his subjects and cared for them as if they were his own children. He wrote, and they on their part revered Cyrus as a father. Those words served as an inspiration for at least one of America's founding fathers. Thomas Jefferson. Oh, not one, but two copies. of this book. Equally high braves for Cyrus's legacy is found in modern times at the United Nations headquarters and so forth. But he not only helped the Jews and free them to return to their homeland, the Holy Land, but he assisted them in the early days of...

beginning the building of the Second Temple. Cyrus the Great was truly a great emperor, a Persian emperor. And this is one of the reasons that there is this bond and there's a connection. And you can see it as Persians all over the world and particularly. Those who are stuck in the concentration camp, thanks to the Iranian Nazi Islamist regime, they talk about Benjamin Netanyahu, the great Jew. That's what they call them. Benjamin Netanyahu, the great Jew. And Benjamin Netanyahu has an affinity for these people, too. And now you know more than I bet you ever knew before, Mr. Producer. Isn't that amazing? I'll be right back. Much love in.

You won't find that in the Torah. You won't find it in the Bible generally, the New Testament. Many have noticed that. Many. When you're familiar with Alexis de Tocqueville in his two books, really two volumes, one book on Democracy in America, he points out how Islam is wholly unfit for the American system or most democratic systems because it's obviously the imposition of a fundamentalist religious ideology onto a political system.

Now, in his book, I won't read a whole lot to you because we're giving you a lot so far today, and we'll do this another day. Islamic government, which has been called the Ayatollah's Mein Kampf, he was a big adherent of Hitler and Lenin and Mao, excuse me, and Marx. And in this, he explains in terms of... Islam, Sharia, and politics. Need for executive agencies, methods of great profit, need for continued implementation of laws, truth of Islamic laws, in finance and defense, blood money, penalties for blood money. the how to form a government and hadith distinction from other political systems that the rulers must be immersed in Islamic law talks about what jurisprudence is about subjective law nascent rules sublime goals qualities of a ruler the rule of jurisprudence

It's very intimate, very, very exacting. It's also blood-curdling when I'll get into this another day. It goes on in exquisite detail. Purging religious centers, that is, those who are non-conformists, reforming those who... who claim holiness, but don't really embrace it. Eliminating traces of intellectual and moral colonialist aggression. This is where his brutality really kicks in. Long-range resistance. And much, much more. Extraordinary detail. The difference between Christianity in this form of Islam and Judaism and this. is that our laws and our beliefs do not provide comprehensive and detailed governing principles.

The Mark Levin Show is back at 877-381-381. All right. Let's keep going, shall we? Birthright citizenship. You know more about that than anybody on the face of the earth. But let's hear what the Speaker of the House had to say about this. Mike Johnson. He's a good man. By the way, he's also a constitutional lawyer. who was a lawyer and litigator in the conservative legal community for many years. Count one, go. I do think that this has been grossly abused in recent years, okay? And that is the case that was being made by the plaintiffs in the case. And we're very sympathetic to that because it is a serious problem. We have, you know, it's become a tourism, birthing tourism, they call it, you know, a trend where people will just come and you just come onto the soil and have your child and then they're... They're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else. It's been abused. It's one of those things that was intended to serve a noble, important purpose, and has been thwarted and overused and abused. And so I'm sure that we'll continue to look at that. I mean, I'm sure the conclusion from this opinion is going to be that you've got to amend the Constitution to fix that. As we all know, it's a big challenge to amend the Constitution. It's only happened 27 times in our whole nation's history. And the reason is, because you've got to have two-thirds of both chambers of Congress and three-fourths of the states to ratify. It's usually at least a many-year-long process and very complicated. We'll see. I'm sure there's going to be lots of discussion about that. I will say I'm very disappointed in that outcome. I think it subjects the country to serious challenges going forward, and we'll have to deal with it as a Congress.

It'd be difficult to deal with. I can tell you that right now. They constitutionalize this. You hear people making stupid comments. Let's amend the Constitution. Okay. As long as you have Democrats in the House and Senate, you're not going to get two-thirds votes of the House or the Senate, plus the Rhino Republicans, to do anything. As for a statute, the statute can't change the core fact now. that this has been constitutionalized. Statutes don't change the Constitution, as you well know. So we'll see what can be done on the periphery, on the fringe, but the heart of it is the heart of it. Hasan Piker is a low life. He's a Jew hater. He is a terror supporter. He is a supporter of these Islamist Marxist movements. He was born in the United States. He is a birthright baby or was. brought to Turkey where he was radicalized and then brought back to the United States. And he's just a little example of what's going to happen and is happening to our country with this nonsense. And here he is on this issue as well. Cut five go. This is such an insane and fundamentally un-American concept. I really get sick and tired of Islamist commies who tell us what is un-American. Don't you? They hate America. They hate our Constitution. This is what I always talk about. And now they're going to wave around the 14th Amendment, the ruling by John Roberts and his ilk on the court, wave it around as some great victory when, in fact, their whole goal is to burn down the entire constitutional construct of the country. Go ahead. I cannot begin to explain this to you, okay? Ellis Island. Shut up. I don't even want to hear your stupid voice. You make me sick to my stomach. Mm-hmm. I don't know. By now, you probably saw this hearing. Mike Lawler. I like Mike Lawler a lot. You don't have to agree with him on everything, but I agree with him on a lot. He's just a good guy. He's in a marginally blue Democrat district. We have to carry districts like his in New York and other places, or we can't win. but he's a smart guy. He's a principal guy. He's a fighter. And there he is. They're on this committee. They have the Gorin family, Gorman family there, among others. And you have this low life, Jayapaw. This is our fourth hearing on the subject of these families and what took place here. We could be focused on other things like, you know, health care and food. And there's the poor woman sitting there, and you probably saw this on Fox and elsewhere. They lost their beautiful daughter. She was shot in the head. She literally ran for 40 feet while this animal chased her and executed her. And she's saying, what could she have said in the 40 feet? Calling out to her mommy, calling out to her daddy, calling out for help, knowing that she was going to be gunned down. Can you imagine, ladies and gentlemen, can you imagine this happening to your family? Can you imagine going through this nightmare every damn second of every day without your baby anymore? The inhumanity of the Democrats.

They don't want to talk about it. It's the fourth time. We're not going to talk about this. And by the way, one of the things that's never been said about this birthright crack in these open borders, the inhumanity that that has involved in all these years, with hundreds of thousands of missing children and women sold into sex slavery. Cut seven, go, Mike Lawler. So while some of my colleagues may not want to hear the truth, the same outrage you feel about Renee Good and Alex Prettie, you should feel about Sheridan Gorman's and Lake Ryder. So stop right here. So this is Pramila Jayapal trying to shut him down. She's the head of the Kami wing of the Democrat, but they call themselves Progressive. That's Kami. You hear progressive, it's Kami. And then Jamie Raskin, whose father was a big-time Stalinist. and started the Institute for Policy Studies. Go ahead and Google it. Go and Google it. These are two big-time commies. Two big-time commies. Go ahead. Every angel family in this country. I do feel that outrage. You do not. Because if you did, you would not support sanctuary. Do you feel the outrage about Alex Reddy and Renee Good? You should be ashamed to be ashamed of this committee. You should get the hell out of you. You don't understand the rules of the committee. You don't understand the rules of the committee. You don't understand the constitution. Mr. Jamie Raskin. Mr. Jamie Raskin. Mr. Jamie Raskin. Say one word about it. Get rid of, say one more about Alex Rennie and I did. I wrote a whole New York Times not bet about it. You should be. Absolutely ashamed of your committee. The chairman of opposing sanctuary policies that resulted in their daughter's death. The committee will be in order. Mr. Chairman, I just want to say we will not. Shut up. Shut up you jackass. Mm-hmm. You have victims' family members testifying on sanctuary policies. She's whining about, this is the fourth hearing. Go ahead on that one. Cut eight, please go. Unfortunately, this hearing is the fourth time. in this committee that we've had a hearing on sanctuary cities, the fourth time. And there's many other things that we could be doing other than this. I would have loved to have had some hearings on the unconstitutionality of the president's executive order on eliminating birthright citizenship. This is something that the Supreme Court just ruled today in a six-three majority. So why would you need a hearing, genius? Go ahead. And yet this is- Understand Jessica Gorman, the mom of Sheridan Gorman, who was executed by this animal, is sitting there with her husband and her other daughter, her younger daughter, as are other individuals whose children were murdered due to sanctuary city policies in blue cities and states. And she's listening to this woman complaining. This is our fourth hearing. Go ahead. ...that caused so much fear and trauma across the country. We could have been discussing that.

Well, here's the response from Jessica Gorman. This poor mother is going through an imaginable hell. Cut nine, go. And in what world does the child who spent her life making sure no one was lonely die terrified and alone on a peer in Chicago? In what world does the girl who saw everyone become invisible to the people in power responsible for protecting her? This cannot be explained away, and it cannot be buried beneath a list of unrelated issues that you all paraded before us. Thanks for telling me without telling me that, you know, you're here, but you don't want to be. This is the fourth. This is the fourth time you've had angel families. Thanks for telling me you don't care. This cannot be buried under your slogans, your statistics or excuses, and this just can't stand. You feel the agony, you share it, don't you? You tear up just listening to this poor mother. This family's been destroyed. All over the country this takes place. all over the country. And the Democrats are nominating and electing in their primaries. Communists, Islamists with ties to Hamas, individuals who are talking about destroying the state of Israel. Individuals are talking about 9-11 is a good thing. Our country?

The Democrat Party is nominating these people. They're going to be serving in your United States Congress. We have got to inform ourselves. That's why I spent an hour and a half at the beginning of this program. We've got to be the beacons here. We've got to help talk to our family and friends and acquaintances. If we don't push back, it's over. This is our country. We can't rely on other people to do all of our... are talking, battling on these things. We have to do it. Now, you and I, right here, we help strengthen and give birth to the Tea Party movement. You and I right here. Help give birth to with Mark Meckler and the folks, the Conventionist States movement. You and I right here. After the early primers in 2016, we all pulled together when we got behind our president now, Donald Trump, and we fought for him. We fought against the lawfare they were using and the impeachments they were using to try and destroy him. And you and I, and certainly he and others, we were involved in his re-election. And we're going to have to defend him again because they're coming after him and we'll do what we have to do. But you and I are uniquely positioned. Not the internet, not the podcasters. They can pat themselves on their ass all they want. Right here, conservative talk radio. You and I are the ones who are a position to do something about this. And by God we will. I'll be right back.

The Marxist Islamists who seek to destroy our kind. Have you noticed how young the people are who they're electing? Not in all cases, but the vast majority, 29 years old. an immigrant from Africa, or you got an immigrant from somewhere in the Middle East, or you got an immigrant from China. Crazy, isn't it? I wonder why it's happening. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's not by happenstance. It's not a coincidence. It's a plot. It's a strategy. It's playing out right before your eyes. And you know what Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer doing about it? They're embracing it. They're cowards. They hope they can survive. They'll be gobbled up too.

With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Dick Durbin has a new scheme. A government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal, strong security. But Senator Dick Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity, and your financial future. Dick Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate... which could shift costs onto you while putting your rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Dick Durbin's failed policies before. His last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs than fewer benefits for American families.

Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-discreet building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-381-817-381-3811. Here's a montage from Stu Stu Studio on X, Democrat Socialists of America, in other words, Marxist Islamist, top leader, David Jenkins. This is David Jenkins. Cut ten, go. I mean, our goal is liberation. Our goal is communism. My name is David Jenkins. I'm a lifelong New Yorker, and today I am again calling on the city council to disband the NYPD's brutal, unnecessary strategic response group and directly divert its funding to any, any of the public services fellow New Yorkers have called for today. I'm planning to run for the MPC at convention under the banner of the Libertarian Socialist Caucus. We're a diverse body of libertarian socialists, anarchists, left communists, and other schools of fault within the sort of left-wing socialist movement. I joined DSA in 2020 and found a home in the racial justice working group and the defund NYPD campaign before getting heavily involved in tenant organizing, Red Rabbits, and eventually helping start the Flatbush branch in Brooklyn and serving on the first organizing committee as campaign coordinator. As an anti-fascist and an abolitionist, and to my knowledge, the only D.S.A. member at a counter-protest on January 6th, 2021 in Washington, D.C. So I understand and have lived the stakes of impending fascism. And after years of healing and reflecting on that experience, the thing that I have brought back to my DSA organizing is the necessity for us to fire on all cylinders and to do everything all the time all at once and actually work together. And we're not going anywhere until your goons finally start killing us for these testimonies because that's where this is going. Remember that when you vote. Between the Zorong campaign and our base building work and building trust and relationships and real socialism in our neighborhoods and communities, okay? So my coherent vision for what I would want to coordinate is through socialism is the people, not better branding, and the anti-Zionist resolution, which will help unleash the amazing outline of potential organizing plans and the immediate steps of the 100 Days campaign. All these things work together.

Gee, we never heard stuff like this before, have we? Never heard stuff like this before, have we? And who is this guy? What's he done? Nothing. And we've been organizing, and we're organizing, and yes, and we're organizing this group and that group, and we this and that, and so just imagine if the guy had to work for a living. It's easy to organize an attack and so forth and so on. The Flatbush branch in Brooklyn and the part of the Red Rabbits and the racial justice working group and they defund the NYPD campaign. I've been involved, I've got a hell of a resume. These are crackpots. They're scumbags. Now here's a montage on Fox News Monday. New Yorkers voting for socialism. Cut 11. Go. City had a bunch of primaries last week. We saw a bunch of socialist candidates win. Did you happen to vote in those primaries? I did. Do you feel comfortable sharing who you voted for? I vote for Brad Lander. I voted pretty much down the line for those socialist candidates. If you had the opportunity, would you vote for a socialist? 100%. Why? Because it's better for the people. No one even knows what socialism means. Okay, no one knows. No one knows what capitalism means. They're just like all buzzwords. We're talking about like real issues on the ground here. That's what Zohran Mamdani is all about. Where is one place where socialism has worked? I wouldn't know, but I'd like to see. That really isn't my concern. You know, Cuba has done pretty well despite like all the sanctions. Would you want to go live in Cuba? if America would stop interfering with Cuba. What is one thing you would like to see happen tomorrow to make us more socialist? Everybody has health care. Everybody has free education. I love the United States. I'm a true patriot. I'm staying here. I'm sticking with it, and I'm going to fight the fascists who are currently in charge of the federal government. Mr. Richard, don't we have free education already? In other words... Many of us pay for us and others, but K through 12, and there's also colleges and universities that will subsidize people, but that's not even the point. They want free education, free health care, free rent, free public transportation. And that gets you what exactly, Mr. Mrs. America, nothing. We're dealing with causes that are the causes of mental midgets. These people even sound stupid, don't they? No level of maturity or experience or knowledge. They're not informed about anything. Crazy. Crazy.

Then we have Pramilia Pramila Jayapal. All these people who are first or second generation imports. And yet we used to have first or second generation migrants who really wanted to be Americans. Apparently that's not the case. They want to come to America to destroy it. We don't even talk about assimilation anymore. So a country is doomed that doesn't assimilate its migrants. We're not only not assimilating our migrants, we're bringing in migrants who want to destroy our country. Now, that's not going to last too long, is it? And I want to thank the Supreme Court not for that great contribution yesterday, which we spent a lot of time on, so I won't repeat myself. Here's this Pramilia Pramila Jayapal, cut 12, go. I just first want to ask you to respond to what President Trump said. His quote was, they use the word social democrat because it sounds so nice, but it's really communism you're talking about. I mean, he is ridiculous, but the reason... No, he's not ridiculous. He's absolutely accurate. You are a communist. They don't know whether to admit it, embrace it publicly or not. But they eventually get there, don't they? Go ahead. Communism is because he knows socialism is really popular. Socialism is popular with people who have never really tried it. But people who live under it, hate it. Hate it. Go ahead. Turn this into communism when he knows that the ideas that social Democrats are running on, that progressives are running on, universal health care. We'll see. We'll see. You can only win in the bluest of blue areas. You can only win in the bluest of blue areas. You're not going to be able to win in general elections in states that are marginal for Democrats. That's not going to happen, I don't believe. Susan Collins has moved ahead of this guy Graham Platner. We'll see if that holds. I hope so. Mr. producer, we've got to get Mike Rogers back on here. We want to help him out. We also got to bring Michael Whatley in here from North Carolina. Some of these other states see what we can do to help them out. But... There's not widespread support for this in the country. Maybe in the Democrat Party, maybe in a faction of the Democrat Party, but certainly not in the country. But the problem is, there doesn't have to be widespread support. As I've mentioned many, many times, these Marxists and fascist revolutions have never been majority revolutions. Never. When you look at, for example, Cuba, basically, it was Castro and about 60 guerrillas. Guerrilla fighters in the New York Times. When you look at Lenin, Lenin was brutal during the revolution and after, about 30, 35% of the population. That's it. Same with Mao. Same with Mao. Even the best of the revolutions, ours had maximum 40% support of the public.

So it's not the majority that's revolting. I'm just pointing this out because I think it's important. Go ahead, Mr. Produce. ...care, making sure that people get paid, higher wages. Those are... You don't make sure anything happens. You know what makes sure those things happen? People who run small businesses and large businesses, people who invest in capital. people who work every day, 10, 12 hours a day with their hands. They're the ones who create the jobs and the opportunities and everything else. Not sleaze balls like you. You create nothing. I'll be right back. Mark Levin. Folks, Mark Levin here with a new episode of On the Frontlines, my original podcast series and partnership with the great international fellowship of Christians and Jews. This week's episode, Nations Under God, comes at a remarkable moment. America's 250th anniversary and a decades-long friendship with a state of Israel that remains as vital as ever. Joining me is Yalel Eckstein, the great president and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, as we explore how this alliance was built. From Truman's recognition of Israel to the leaders and moments that shaped a partnership rooted not just in strategy, but in shared faith and values. We'll look at how that bond has endured through the decades, why it still matters at a time of global uncertainty, and what's at stake if the next generation forgets the history and principles behind it. On the Frontlines isn't about looking back. It's about understanding what must be carried forward. Find the latest episode of On the Frontlines on the Mark Levin show podcast feed wherever you get your podcast. Subscribe now and join us on the front lines of freedom, faith, and fellowship.

It's an honor to have Clint Romache on the program. He's a Medal of Honor recipient. That is a big deal to me. He's Ambassador for Pure Talk in America's Warrior Partnership, and I want to get into all that in a moment. But Clint, it's an honor to have you. If you don't mind, tell us what you receive the Medal of Honor for it. I know you don't necessarily want to tell people, but we are very interested. Oh, Mark, I really appreciate you having me on today. You know, I'm always a little... I don't know. I always feel awkward talking about the actions that day because... You know, as people sit here and say, oh, man, you did such heroic things. I look at the term hero is for those that didn't come home. I was a warrior, and I got to serve with, you know, at the time, 50 other amazing warriors. And we find ourselves in Afghanistan and 09. We're at a place called Combat Outpost Keating that, you know, if you look up defensible positions, it's kind of the opposite definition of that. And on October 3rd, 2009, it's... Starting about 06 in the morning, we got hit by a Taliban force of about 300 fighters. Right off the bat, things just went bad to worse. Right away, we lose Kevin Thompson up at the border pit. Then we lose Joshua Kirk and we lose Scusa. And all of this is happening within the first 10, 15 minutes of contact. And, you know, that day was one of those days where I don't remember... much about being scared for myself or any of that. It was, I had a couple of simple rules taking guys overseas. That was my third combat deployment. And I always told them, like, we're all going over, but we're all not coming back. As I was talking about that, I meant alive. But I just couldn't imagine returning back home and seeing a bold star. family member and telling them I couldn't bring their loved one back because the tactic at the time that the Taliban could get the body of an American soldier that was a huge thing and at one point we were isolated and cut off from about eight guys so the mission you know for us at that point was not just to survive but to make sure that when we survive this this ordeal that we brought everybody home so I was able to uh With the help of five amazing men, asked for a group of volunteers, went out, let a counterattack, recapture our ammo supply point, shut the front gate that had been breached, pushed the enemy out of the outpost, and eventually recovered the seven fallen guys that day. And unfortunately, one that was very seriously injured was Stefan Mace. I passed away from his injuries later that evening after that 15-hour firefight. I'm really sorry. I'm sure you really live that over and over and over again.

But I think they'd all be proud of you, Clint, what you're doing right now and what you've been doing, and you clearly deserve the medal. And really you receive it for yourself and for all these other heroes, but you deserved it very, very much. You know, Pure Talk is one of our great, great sponsors for a very long period of time. I'm a big fan. It was founded by a vet. They're very veteran-oriented, Americanism and patriotism-oriented. One of the great, you know, mobile... phone service companies. And the founder, I say, he's like David against three Goliaths. He just decided he would start this company, take them on so people can actually get an affordable, fair, monthly rate for their service. And their patriotism extends into America's warrior partnership. Please explain your relationship to all this and what Pure Talk is doing. You know, I guess I'll start with talking a little bit about America Warrior Partnership. I've been blessed with being with this organization for... shoot almost a decade now. And it was kind of founded on the mission of just empowering veterans and empowering communities to improve and save lives. We like to say we're not a suicide prevention program. I don't, I think you can see what the VA has done throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at, you know, suicide prevention. What we look at is lowering suicide is going to be the outcome of doing great work. And it is, again, going back to provide. hopefulness to those veterans by empowering them, letting them take ownership, plugging them back in with their local communities, the local veteran service organizations that, you know, know, I always say the best, the best way to solve problems at the lowest level. Like, they know exactly what they need. And every veteran is unique and whatever they're facing. The vast majority of veterans are doing incredibly well. And I think we kind of highlight too much of. The woe is me kind of mentality that we think, you know, every veteran is broken, but that's truly not the case. There are veterans out there that do need that help. And that's where AWP steps in is by, like I said, empowering those communities, directing them to resources that are out there. We advocate for those veterans when they hit the stumbling blocks. We educate them. We love to collaborate with other, you know, we. So he said there's no one perfect way to do something, but there are great nonprofits out there that specialize in it. And not one's going to be able to do everything, but if you're collaborating and connecting with all of them, you can figure out kind of that one-v-one approach for what veterans are facing. And then that's where, you know, as you talked about peer talk comes in. veteran values right there. The leadership of the company is veteran-based. They understand what it means that when you tell someone you're going to do something, you do it. You use it by your actions, not your words. You show it. And so they've been stepping up time and time again. And right now with America's 250th coming up, they're targeting to raise $250,000 for America's Warrior Partnership. Again, a great company that sets there and provides...

reasonable, affordable phones, 100% U.S.-based customer service, not farming it out overseas, to really put their money where their mouth is to show that they're a company of doers and not takers. And they're going to match up to a quarter of a million dollars, as you point out, when customers sort of up their bill a little bit. Say it's a... You know, $38, and they say, all right, I'm going to throw in 50 cents. $38 and $50. Pior Talk says, all right, I'll match that $0. If you throw in $10, they'll match the $10 all the way up to a quarter of a million. And I just want to talk a little bit more about where this goes. The disproportionate number of vets are homeless versus the rest of the population. And you also raise an important point, which is, look. vets get stereotyped too often and too much. You know, they're mentally ill, they're this, they're that. That's not the case. They have a population within the population who are suffering from various maladies, just like the general population. But there's more suffering in certain cases as a result of what they've been through, and that's what you're trying to address. So there's a disproportionate amount of homelessness among vets. Is there not?

Rich, are we there? Yeah, yeah. I think we might have got disconnected for just... There we go. We got you back. We got you now, Clint. I'm just saying there's a disproportionate amount of homelessness among vets, isn't there? That's what I've read. You know, we've seen the increase of homelessness and the veteran population versus the kind of average American. The suicide rate, obviously, is higher among the veteran community. You know, early deaths by disease. You know, there's a lot of contributing factors. As we take the approach, though, it's, we got to know that there's almost 16 million veterans out there in the U.S. right now. And I think the VA is connected with maybe 9 million of them. We need to know all of them because each and everyone is different. Each and everyone is unique. And what we've noticed... through America Warrior Partnership and the incredible program that they partnered up with Peer Talk with the Deeds. Words, you know, it's that early intervention that makes a world a difference. We've had veterans that have came in that, you know, have missed a car payment because of that. Now they're losing a job. And because they're losing their job, they're losing their house. We'll be able to step in early to help them with the car payment. All right. Don't hang up. Hold on. We've got to take a hard break. Don't leave us. We'll be right back with Clint Ramesh. You didn't start a business just to keep the lights on. You're here to sell more today than yesterday.

The mental health issues. They seem to be the toughest to tackle, Clint. And since you're working this really every day, what do you see? You know, a lot of it goes to, from what I've seen, you know, there's so many contributing factors to it. Part of it, I think, does go to the last. You know, decade plus, we really kind of harped on, we've made veterans feel just absolutely broken where there's no hopefulness going forward. And we've got to change that narrative, and that's partially on the veterans, the 70 plus percent that are doing very well to get out there and share their stories. Look, you know, I got out of the Army in 2011. I didn't know what I was doing. My transition was scary, just like everybody else's.

I hadn't received the medal yet, and I came work in oil fields in North Dakota. Because my thought process was, you know, I think we owe our veterans so much. But on a personal level, I don't think I should be given anything other than the opportunity to prove myself. And I think if we can embrace that, we can't keep living in the past. Our military service and what we've been through will always be a part of us. But if we're not looking forward to tomorrow, what can we do as... I like to say, to improve our foxhole. And I think a lot of veterans in that mental health aspect hit those walls. They're looking for something. They reach out for something. And, you know, sometimes the VA can be a battle of attrition. Sometimes it's. You know, you're disconnected from the guys you were with for guys and gals you serve with on deployment. So I can tell you to this day, still what Raz's feet's not like. I'd live that close to that guy and would build such a big bond. And then all of a sudden you find yourself when you transition out hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from those guys that you live with day in and day out for so long. But it's reestablishing that that's one chapter of your life. And we as veterans need to embrace that. Yep, we have done something that we'll never forget, but that can't be forever who we are, nor should we feel entitled to just be given any and everything. We have to still go earn it and prove it to ourselves. Very beautifully put. Well, I want to thank you for your service. I'm going to thank you for what you're doing for others, what you did for others and what they did with you when you were in battle. And Clint Romache, and God bless you very, very much, my friend. Thanks for all you're doing. Well, thank you very much for having me, Mark, and to your listeners out there, any of the veterans, if you guys need anything, you're always going to have a battle buddy to have your back. You never did anything alone while you're in the service, and you're never going to do anything alone after the service. Please reach out. You're very special. Thanks a lot, Clint Romache, and he's the recipient of the Medal of Honor. He's the Ambassador for Pure Talk in America's Warrior Partnership. God bless you, my friend. Let's take some calls. We are loaded. Charlie, Sunnyvale, California, the great KSFO. Charlie, what street are you on Sunnyvale? We spent a little while on Sunnyvale. Eagle Drive near Homestead and Saratoga Sunnyvale. Is Stan's Donuts still around? A couple years ago, I thought, yeah, I think so. Well, if you ever get over there, and I recommend it strongly, I've never had a better donut than it stands as still. At my age, give them my best. Well, if you go over there, maybe they'll give you a free donut. I don't know. Go right ahead. I sure will. All right. Here's my idea. I hope you will support on birthright citizen. By the way, by the way, waxwing avenue is where we were for a little while. Little road, Waxwing Avenue. Go ahead. Right off the hell is it called Lawrenceville or whatever it is. Anyway, go ahead. Lawrence Avenue. Yeah. Yeah.

President Trump is making bilateral trade agreements with every country around the world. Why not include a provision dealing with jurisdiction of children born in the United States? For example, an agreement with Mexico would say for the purpose of determining... citizenship, we both agree, Mexico and U.S., that Mexico will have exclusive legal jurisdiction in determining citizenship as a child, and vice versa. If U.S. parents have a child in Mexico, we both agree as a bilateral international agreement that the U.S. will have exclusive jurisdiction. But if I'm the parent, I like the idea. It's very, very thoughtful, but if I'm the parent, what do I say? Excuse me. What's the Constitution say according to the Supreme Court? Well, international agreements. No, no, no, no, no. They don't trump the Constitution. If I'm the parent of an individual right now under the 14th Amendment, even if I'm the illegal, that's how absurd it is, the illegal alien parent. Say, excuse me, I had my child in America. They're an American citizen. So says the Supreme Court of the United States. But we have an agreement with Mexico. Okay, it's null and void in her case because she says no. No, but we're making an agreement that jurisdiction is no longer in the United States. We do this on other legal matters. I know, but we don't have a Supreme Court ruling like this. Okay? What I'm trying to tell you is. They took the 14th Amendment. They said that that baby is an American citizen. Period. You understand what I'm saying? So there's no statutory way out of this. There's no international agreement away out of this. There's no way out of this. But okay, here's, okay, let me give one a counter. I'm doing my best, but you don't want to accept it. But go ahead. Okay. The only reason why, I mean, it is custom, the reason why four diplomats have immunity. Not everybody at the embassy has the same immunity is because of international agreements. There's nothing in the 14th Amendment that says diplomats have... Isn't that weird? It's very weird. And yet the court has made that exception. Now, why did they make that exception? Because of international agreement? Because they wanted to. Okay. In fact, this is one of the arguments I made. How can we have any exceptions the way they're doing this? While we can and we will. You're exactly right. Thank you for taking my call. Charlie, I'm sorry. Don't be mad at me. I'm furious about the whole damn thing. Be honest with you. All right. You take care. Charlie's a smart dude there. Let's go to J.D., Las Vegas, Nevada, our great affiliate, KDWN. J.D., I thought you're busy hawking your book all over Fox or something. What are you doing?

Yeah, I got a moniker, my doppelganger. Mark, first, before I say anything, your interview with Clint, God bless you, God bless him, and I've been neglectful, and I'm going to go to Pure Talk. I want to thank Clint for everything that he has done. He is truly... A great American. It wasn't he incredible there in the interview? Just incredible. This shows how good our military is, how smart, and how they do things correctly all the time. You're right. In regard to this birthright Robert's crap, I cannot believe. I'm 81 years old, Mark. I've followed politics since 1956 Eisenhower's reelection. It's a love of mine. I don't understand since the Cold War after the Second War war, no FBI director. No CIA director, no president, senator, or congressman have realized the inherent danger of having, as Schweitzer in his book, said, 1.4 military, 1.4 Chinese birthright citizens since 1997, probably a million Mexicans. Who knows if only 10 or 15 Muslim terrorists. are in this country through that, that they did not see the danger. And, you know, I've been saying this locally to my friends and talk radio locally. These people can come back to the United States after 18 years of indoctrination of communism. They can go to Harvard, Yale. They can go to... They can run for Congress. They can run for the Senate. They can serve in the FBI. They can serve in the CIA. They can serve in Department of Homeland Security. They are American citizens. And this is one of the things that Samuel Alito slammed. He said that the majority of John Roberts... is creating a dire national security issue for this country, and he was 100% correct. 100% correct. Don't get mad at me. I've got a hard break. Great call, Las Vegas. Thank you, brother. We'll be right back. Martin. This episode is brought to you by San Pellegrino Chow.

Let's keep rolling, shall we? Yes, we can. Ed, Corona, California, Sirius XM satellite. How are you, Ed? I'm doing great, Mark. Thank you for taking my call here. I got a couple of quick things. I want to get to John Fetterman, but before I get to that, as these so-called moderate Democrats, I can't believe that they're hiding under rocks. Pretty soon, these Marxists, they have to know that these Marxists know where they're at. They're going to slither under that rock, and they're going to take them out. And I can't believe that they don't see that, which brings me to John Fetterman. I wish he was well-spoken, and I wish he talked with a little bit more fire in his belly to bring some of these guys out from under the rock. Just remember, he's got a handicap. as a result of a horrible stroke that almost took his life. He may go independent. He may run as an independent. I think he's doing all he can. I really do. I think the quizlings are people like Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania and some of these others. They are pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. All right. What else, Ed? They're so afraid. Well, that was my point. It's just, you know, we're going to need the, I agree with you, the Republicans and the conservatives. We're going to do our part. But, boy, we are going to need some help from some of these Democrats. Let me also tell you this. The Republican primary, I think you're going to see a pretty significant competition there. Of course, J.D. wants to be president. I don't know if Marco does or not, quite frankly. Be nice if he did, but we want a robust primary. I do. You never know. Ted Cruz looks like he might be interested. Maybe Ron DeSantis is interested. Maybe Glenn Youngkin's interested. I don't doubt that Haley might want to jump in. I'm not saying I oppose or support all these people. I'm just saying that that'll be healthy because this whole nationalism, populism, crap, I have... Absolutely no support for this. I like good old constitutional conservatism. And I think the vast majority of MAGA, which is Tea Party, I think they agree. So we'll see. There's only one Donald Trump. There's only going to be one Donald Trump. And he's quite a remarkable individual. All right, Ed. Thank you, my friend. Len, Mineral Wheels, Texas, Sirius XM satellite. Go right ahead, please. Thank you, sir, for taking my call. It's an honor to speak to you. Likewise. And thank you, sir. You know, I got out of the military 44 years ago, and I believe one of the questions, and when you go to buy a firearm, is are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party? And I'm pretty sure that disqualifies you.

from both of the, you know, the prior comments, shouldn't it? Is that still a question? I don't remember. We have a ton of firearms. It's been a while since I bought one. It used to be a question if you wanted to work in the civil service and the government. Who the hell knows? Probably now you're required to have spent some time in there. Thank you, my brother, for your service. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, ICE, our truckers. The men and women in Israel, men and women in Ukraine, you're kicking some ass. The men and women in Persia. We'll see you tomorrow, America. God bless.
