6/1/26 - Defending Democracy: Israel's Battle Against Terror

Hey folks, Mark Levin here. Before we dive into today's episode, I want to talk about my go-to gold and silver company.

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 the Ben.

Oh, Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-3811-877-381-3811. On October 7, 2023, the Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip, funded it back by Qatar, Turkey, and Iran. Went into Israel. attacked a festival of young people, murdered 1,200 of them, raped, butchered, tortured, tortured. Same in the keyboard scene. The report is out. Babies and mothers tied together with wire and burned alive. Eyes gouged out, breast cut off, thrown into the street and kicked around like a soccer ball. Women's genitals brutalized with knives and nails and spikes and hammers and all the rest. Worse than medieval times.

That was done to our country on our Texas border by drug cartels in Texas. We would not have tolerated that for a minute. And then they took about 250, 251 hostages. raped them, starved them to death, murdered them, it didn't matter, 10-month-old baby, 89-year-old grandmother, and everything in between. We would never fight a war in Gaza, or I should say in Mexico, the way the Israelis fought in Gaza. We wouldn't be dropping leaflets, we wouldn't be sending texts. Wouldn't be sending what they call bomb knockers, unloaded, small missiles and so forth, warning people that were about to hit them. We would not care. We didn't care after we were attacked at Pearl Harbor, and we would not care, nor should we care. And for a country with a relative handful of people, nine, ten million people, That would have been like these cartels slaughtering 30 to 35,000 of our people. Taking hostage thousands of Americans. What is it about the little country of Israel that it's not allowed to defend itself? Now, what do I mean by that? I mean when it is ready to finally destroy Hamas Hamas is pushed into Gaza city. It is surrounded. And we tell the Israelis back off. We enter into a peace deal, two phases. The second phase is Hamas was to be disarmed, disarmed by the Turks, by the Egyptians, and the Qataris. But they're not disarmed. And nobody's saying a damn thing about it. In fact, they're re-arming. The Israelis lost about a thousand soldiers in that battle. That's nearly 30,000 troops by our numbers. We're at war with Iran. We weren't dragged into that war. We decided, and we had the envoy, Steve Witkoff, on my program. The president made the decision that they were too close to getting nuclear weapons and they weren't going to stop, even after we bombed them in June. We decided we needed to do it. The president has said so time and time again, and he was right.

100%. And the Israelis fought with us, side by side, soldier shoulder to shoulder. Air Force to Air Force. Nobody else did. The Europeans wanted nothing to do about it. The Arabs are all talked. They didn't do it. We've never had an ally like this, ever. You heard the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. You heard the head of the Joint Chiefs, General Kane. You've heard the commenters on TV, generals and admirals and lieutenant colonels and on and on and on. We've never ever seen anything like this in a coordinated attack. Meanwhile, ballistic missiles are fired into Israel. Ballistic missiles are fired into Arab countries. Real consequences. Ballistic missiles have 2,000 pounds the equivalent of TNT. Not 200, not 300, 2,000 are the size of a yellow school bus. Iran is building and was thousands of them to unleash them all at once so they cannot be defended against. If it were the drug cartels in Mexico... or the Mexican government doing that to us, we couldn't tolerate that. Well, neither can the country is in the Middle East, neither can Israel. Hezbollah, since the ceasefire in the first week of April, has launched. thousands of missiles and thousands and thousands of drones into northern Israel Israel's a tiny country the size of New Jersey you've heard it before well imagine the top third of New Jersey the top third of Israel has to be depopulated because the Iranian surrogate terrorist organization that has killed hundreds and hundreds of our people in embassies and the Marine barracks in our facility in Saudi Arabia. What would we do about that? What would any country do about that? Any country. France, Britain, any European country, Russia, China, North Korea, dare not, dare not. But because we want this magnificent deal or what's to be this great peace agreement with an enemy that has never honored a single deal, not once. And its ideology does not allow it to. That's already violated the ceasefire over and over and over again. They object today. They say, hey, look, Israel can't penetrate into Lebanon. Israel says, what are you talking about? The center of the power of Hezbollah is outside of Beirot. We need to get to that in order to stop this because we've tried to stop them. We've been told only a defensive military plan, but we can't just sit back and catch this stuff. Our citizens are not going to put up with it. It's a democracy.

And if they're going to serve their country and their citizenry, they need to protect it. So Iran says today, you know, we're not talking to you anymore, United States, because Israel is pummeling, you know, our brothers and sisters, Hezbollah in Lebanon. And keep in mind, Israel's wiped out the entire top tier of Hezbollah that killed our Marines, that killed our soldiers. that bombed our embassy and killed our civilians. And our response is to tell Israel to back off because we want a deal. Hamas remains armed. The Iranians run to us to get Israel to stop trying to destroy Hezbollah. Then you look at Axios, which is the official, apparently, scribe for the leakers who want a deal at any price, who hate Benjamin Netanyahu, and this is a constant leak operation. And I know who's doing it. And they know I know who's doing it. Axios. Barack Ravid used to write for a paper called Harets. Arets would be like the nation or something like that hard radical left. I mean almost to the point where it's anti-Israel and yet it's in Israel. It's crazy left. And so is Barack Ravid. So they leaked to him. And Mark Caputo. I'm just reading it to you. Mr. Producer just saw this and sent it to me. President Trump lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's escalation in Lebanon. Escalation. It's gone from defense to offense to try and take out Hezbollah. How dare it do that? In an expletive, laden call on Monday, to U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call told Axios. So why are they leaking it?

And they get why it matters. Earlier on Monday, Iran threatened to abandon the negotiations with the U.S. over Israel's actions in Lebanon. So what? On the call, Trump called Benjamin Netanyahu crazy and accused him of ingratitude, according to two of the sources. He also put the brakes on Israel's plan to strike Beirut. Behind the scenes, one U.S. official told Trump, said Trump told Benjamin Netanyahu, rather, that following through on his threats to bomb the Lebanese capital would further isolate Israel around the world. They're trying to defend their population in Israel. Missiles are being fired into their country, constantly, constantly. Two of the sources said Trump claimed he'd helped Benjamin Netanyahu out of jail. A reference to his supporting Benjamin Netanyahu's supporting him during his corruption trial. I don't know what that means. Did Benjamin Netanyahu get a pardon, Mr. Reducer? No. Summarizing Trump's remarks to Benjamin Netanyahu, the U.S. officials said, now again, keep in mind, these are leaks. But these leaks are constant, so I think the leaks are intentional. Listen to this. You're effing crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't from me. I'm saving your A. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this. See, a leak like this isn't going to help, is it? No, I don't think so. Second source brief on the call said Trump was pissed. At one point, yelled at Benjamin Netanyahu. What the F are you doing? The U.S. officials said Trump knew Hezbollah had been shooting at Israel and that Israel needed to defend itself. but felt in recent days Benjamin Netanyahu was escalating in a disproportionate way. This is what these advisors, and I know who they are, are advising the president. The Benjamin Netanyahu is out of control, he's unrestrained, he's this, he's that. And just so you get a full picture of this, in Israel, the center-left and left parties are accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of refusing to finish the job. of refusing to finish Hamas, refusing to deal with Hezbollah in an effective way, and as a toady to Trump, as a toady to the United States. So he's getting it from both directions. In addition to the threats on Beirut, Israel has been expanding its ground operation in southern Lebanon. All of this has been explained by them. That they tried not to introduce more forces in there. They tried to abide by this ceasefire. But people are getting killed. Their soldiers are getting killed. They're sitting ducks. They can't just keep sitting there and sitting there. These towns on the border are getting destroyed. They can't just sit there and let their towns get demolished. Is there another country that would do that? Another U.S. official said Trump was concerned by the fact that Israel had killed so many civilians in Lebanon. How many? Israel no longer plans to strike Hezbollah targets in Beirut. And so there you have it. More when I return.

I talk about protecting your liberty, your family, and your future. And right now, I think one of the smartest moves you could make for your financial future is gold and silver. Gold just had a pullback. You know what that means? It means you have a window. A real opportunity to get in at a lower price before the next move up. And it's coming. The fundamentals haven't changed. Washington keeps spending. Inflation keeps eroding your savings. And gold keeps doing what it's always done. holding its value and everything else is shaky.

I'm trying to figure out when the post, the president puts out the post.

He says he spoke to Hezbollah or senior representatives of Hezbollah. Is that what he said, Mr. Producer? Something like that. I'm looking at this. It came up at Fox Business as well. Kudlow and Lucas Tomlinson discussing it. I don't believe any presidents ever spoken to Hezbollah or senior representatives of Hezbollah. Oh, here's the line. I want to be clear. Likewise, through very... Highly placed representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah. Very interesting. Maybe we drop some F-bombs on them. You think, Mr. Producer? I'll be right back. I talk about protecting your liberty, your family, and your future. And right now, I think one of the smartest moves you could make for your financial future is gold and silver.

Call in now 877-381-3811. We'll soon be celebrating, as you know, the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

The declaration was, in essence, a declaration of war against the most powerful military force on earth, the British Empire. The colonists knew that Britain would not tolerate such a declaration of independence, so war was certain to follow. The truth is the war had already begun. But the declaration committed the colonies to join forces and unite against Britain. And every patriot who supported independents literally put their lives and property on the line. They did this despite the fact that they were the clear underdogs in this war and nothing short of a miracle would result in the revolutionaries winning the war. Every delegate who signed that document had signed their own death warrant. Let us remember this when we listen to the debates about whether or not we should defeat the Iranian regime. All the arguments and even excuses against it display 47 years of its killing and maiming thousands of our fellow countrymen, 47 years of lies and deceit, decades developing nuclear and missile technology to obliterate our nation, and a far more dangerous and diabolical ideological agenda than that of the British monarchy. Yet George Washington and the brave founders of our country personally risked everything. They all would have been hanged. Ultimately, the British forces surrendered. Surrendered. The Iranian regime will never surrender, and they will never abide by a deal any more than they have abided by a ceasefire. I am mindful that only some 35% of the colonists supported war were Britain, and I'm mindful that my view may similarly be a minority view today. I hope not. But if it is, well, so be it. You got to speak what you believe. I think that's why you're in the audience. Whether you agree with me or not, you know I'm not going to spin. There's plenty of those people out there already. They don't know what they do. They're on the fence. They're not trying to conduct themselves. Be honest with yourself. Be truthful with the audience. And be polite in your disagreements. Be civil. That's how you do it. That's how I've done it my whole life. Our great video podcast, Liberty's Voice. We've a brand new one out today. Here's two short clips. First, number one, go. If your goal is to overthrow the United States, and we know that, and you're here on a temporary status, you should be deported. Free speech. It says nothing to do a free speech. It has to do a national security. And if you have these hostile societies and ideologies that are trying to use the openness of an open society, to use our Bill of Rights, to use our system to destroy our system, to not confront that is absolutely suicidal. The purpose of immigration is to improve the life of current citizens. We, the people, not to replace us, not to change our country, to change our culture, to change our face, to change anything. The purpose of immigration is to improve the existing society based on the desires of the existing citizenry.

Remember, the government is supposed to represent you and me. We the people, we're the sovereign. This is our civil society. So when through migration, mass migration, you're bringing people in or allowing people to come in who reject the fundamental principles of our country, who reject the declaration in the Constitution, who are openly stating that their goal is to destroy this republic, to take it over, to force people, to bow to Allah. That is suicide. Mm-hmm. I'll be right back. March 11. When you hear about Israel in the news, it's easy to think of headlines, politics, or another conflict far away. But for families in Israel and Jews around the world, this is personal. Anti-Semitic attacks in the Holy Land and across the globe. Elderly Holocaust survivors who endured so much, again, fearing for their lives. And in moments like these, your voice matters, because your voice can remind them, they're not alone. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is inviting you to leave a personal prayer or message of encouragement that will be delivered directly to someone in Israel who needs hope right now, right in the Holy Land, not filtered through the media, not lost online, personally delivered. A simple prayer, a few heartfelt words. They can lift the spirit of someone facing fear, uncertainty, and isolation. This is more than support. This is Standing with Israel and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews when it matters most. Please go to Levin for thefellowship.org to submit your prayer today. That's L-E-V-I-N for the Fellowship.org. Please check it out. From what I'm reading online, Mr. Producer, people are furious. Are you reading the same thing? They are furious. Not necessarily because they're Israel, Israel, Israel. But Iran complains about the attacks on Hezbollah after Hezbollah has been shooting missiles into Israel since the entire ceasefire. And given Hezbollah's background and slaughtering our people, our Marines, and Hezbollah's background in the narco-terrorism activity that even involved Venezuela and so forth. And Iran says, we're going to cut off negotiations, so the pressure is on Benjamin Netanyahu, and Benjamin Netanyahu is berated and threatened. Meanwhile, as I pointed out, the left in Israel is running against Benjamin Netanyahu. Their elections in October saying, basically, he's Trump's toady. He does what Trump tells him to do. He didn't finish off Hamas. He won't finish off the regime in Iran. He won't finish on Hezbollah. When he's trying, I think, to be a very... supportive ally, but when you're the head of a country, you can't tolerate attacks on your people like this with missiles and drones every single day where you have to actually move the population out of the northern part of your tiny country. And it's directed by Iran. It's directed by Iran.

And then you're told to pull back that you're doing more than you need to do. You know, you're supposed to be in a defensive posture. We wouldn't put up with that for two minutes. How many people think that if this were going on, that if the drug cartels were doing this in Texas or New Mexico or Arizona or any of the states in the southwest at the behest of the Mexican government, does anybody think we wouldn't deal with that? Weren't we shooting boats out of the water for trying to bring drugs to our country? And I'm all for it, by the way. I want to defend our country, too. And what? Because the Iranians say so? It's a big victory for the regime in Iran tonight, Mr. Producer, don't you think? And how are they going to take this? They're going to see weakness in the United States. They're going to see weakness, period. In my humble opinion. Look, I could be wrong. There may be a point where the president has said enough is enough and take additional military action. I hope that point's coming soon. That's just my opinion. We'll be right back. This segment of the podcast is exclusively sponsored by Pure Talk.

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 877-381-3811.

America Firsters. How much money in this country do we spend on counterterrorism? Tens of billions. To protect us from whom? Well, tourists. Mostly from where? Mostly, the Middle East. From what groups? Hamas? The Iranian regime and Hezbollah. Tens of billions of dollars. Do you like going through these TSA security checks? Every single time you fly, they're absolutely necessary. Well, why do we do that? To protect us from whom? Hmm? To protect us from whom? Israelis? They're terrorists. To protect us from the terrorists. For the life of me, I don't know why we don't allow them to be destroyed.

I don't understand it. And the clock is ticking and the midterm elections are coming. I don't think any of this helps us. I really don't. And I think this leak to Axios that I talked about first hour, I'm not going to repeat it all now, is a real help. to the Iranian regime. What do they see when they read this? They see as turning on the state of Israel, turning on the prime minister, but even more, what do they see? Desperate for a deal. Now, at some point, I think they'll push the president too far, and he will act militarily. And everybody will say, C, Mark, we told you, Mark. There's no C mark we told you, Mark. I just said at some point they're going to push him too far, and he may act militarily. But I deal with the facts as they present themselves, and I'm dealing with this Axios article. I didn't write it. I didn't create it. Two people in the administration leaked it, maybe three. And this is the modus operandi. I want to talk about Bari Weiss. She was at the free press. Before that, she was at the New York Times. Now she's at CBS. I don't know her. I've never met her. I've never corresponded with her. I've never spoken to her. I don't think she likes me very much. None of that matters.

She's liberal on some issues. She's conservative on other issues. She's moderate on some issues. She's the real deal in term of a journalist. In other words, she's a journalist. An old kind of journalist. She's not part of the radical left, propagandists and activists. She's not a mouthpiece for the Democrat Party, although I assume she's a Democrat. Who knows? But they hate her. They hate her. You know why they hate her? They hate her because she's trying to address the radical sort of mindset that is enshrined at CBS. The radical mindset that is enthrined at CBS, she's trying to address this and replace it with maybe people who are known as more moderate, more professional, more journalistic, if it's an opinion show, center, right of center, some left of center. This is why she's under attack by people like Scott Pelley. Scott Pelley is a radical cuck. He's an egomaniac. He's a narcissist. I even quoted him in one of my books, I think on freedom of the press, on climate change. He's a climate change warrior. And so apparently they have this closed meeting about 60 minutes. And this guy starts screaming at her by various accounts. And she walks out because she doesn't really be talked to that way, and I certainly don't blame her. The guy's a nut, Scott Pelley. He's a jackass, actually. And then you see articles appearing in the usual places, I don't remember, maybe the New York Times or political, whatever, trashing her. Then there's some radical executive producer who's going to take her on, legally challenge her and so forth. When you look at this and you look at Stephen Colbert, CBS, when you look at all of this, what a bunch of whiny, narcissistic, privileged, entitled buffoons. That's what I see that cannot carry their weight, are driving ratings down, chasing people like you off. And it's a privately owned company. I mean, privately owned, meaning it's not PBS. It's not a government operation. Obviously, you have stockholders, shareholders. But it's in the private sector. So that's an amazing thing. Then I watch these two jihadis. Jihadis. This guy, Hasan Piker. And this guy sank whatever his name is. I don't care. And apparently they wanted to go to Britain, specifically London. And they've been banned from Britain. Banned by an official to the government, who, by the way, also happens to be Muslim. They say for their views on Israel.

I don't know if that's accurate or not. Maybe it's because of their views on terrorism, which seem to be quite soft. But I posted, and I'm thinking to myself this. These guys hate America. They trash America. They trash our Judeo-Christian belief system. They trash our embrace of the Enlightenment. In other words, the declaration in the Constitution, if not directly, indirectly. The regimes that they front for, whether it's communist China, whether it's communist Cuba, whether it's Islamist Turkey, Islamist Iran, what have you, you don't get to speak freely in those countries. You don't get to do a damn thing without the government's stamp of approval. And so they come here, they trash our country, they trash our belief systems, they trash our embrace of modernity and so forth and so on. Then they expect you and me to cry for them to argue, look, I don't agree with these guys, I hate their guts, but we do have, you know, First Amendment freedom of speech. I'm reading conservatives online like a bunch of schmucks. No. This is exactly what you're demanding of everybody else. This is exactly what you're demanding of everybody else. You're embracing this kind of activity. Now, the government in Britain is repugnant. It's unconscionable. It's immoral. It's also left wing. Left wing. They have and are destroying Great Britain. Their politics, their culture, their economy, everything. But they can't get rid of the PM, even though they vote out all of his party members and everything. The SOB won't resign, which you should, of course. But then these two punks, these two jihadis, are whining like stuck pigs, may I say, about their treatment, that we're not even able to speak, that we're not even able to go to this country and so forth. And I'm thinking, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's what you're preaching. Why should you be able to do that, but nobody else? Are you allowed to speak in Turkey? You're allowed to speak in Iran, are you? Are you allowed to speak in Gaza? You lied to speak in Saudi Arabia? All of which these buffoons defendants support. You allowed to speak in communist Chinese? You allowed to speak in communist Cuban? No. So who gives a damn what happens to you? I sure is hell don't. I'll be right back.

Obviously, I didn't know him, but that's a hard thing. Very hard. So our sincerest condolences and prayers to her and her family, and may he rest in peace. It's always a tough time. Very tough. All right. Got a lot to do here. Um, Ali Valshi. There's a host. on MS now. Now they changed the name, but they haven't changed it at all, have they? Looks like virtually the same lineup with the same crackpots. And I want you to listen to this because the guy actually says what he thinks, and I want to respond to this, but these people have platforms, and they push this stuff out, cut 12 go. Anniversaries are imperfect records of the thing which is being celebrated. In America's case, anniversaries often gloss over the racial dynamics underlying much of America's history and politics, issues that remain unsolved because America has never actually fully reckoned with its racist past and its original founding sin of slavery. In one month, America will mark the 250th anniversary of its founding. Like previous anniversaries, there is a deep unease about this. I feel a deep unease about these celebrations to which I am invited to mark the 250th anniversary of our so-called democracy.

Because this 250th anniversary is taking place during yet another period of deep and fundamental and existential unrest in this country, brought on by the country's unresolved racial politics. That's what this is. Women and black Americans have seen their rights taken away. The Voting Rights Act has effectively been gutted. A number of states are continuing to gerrymander their congressional maps ahead of the midterm elections with the explicit effect of taking away political power from black Americans. Louisiana did exactly that. Just a few days. This guy was born in Canada. Born in Canada, just so you know. Here he is. Nishmali Muslim of Indian descent. Actually, he was born in Kenya. He was raised in Toronto, Canada. Came to the United States. That's fine. We often come from somewhere. But I want to address this. Slavery. is still going on in the world. It's going on in Africa. It's going on in the Middle East. It's going on in Southeast Asia. It's not going on in the United States. It's not going on in Europe. It's going on in China. And then, of course, the whole Marxist ideology, everybody there is a slave, one form or another. It's number one. Number two, we fought a civil war. The greatest amount of deaths and casualties of any war, over 700,000 in a nation at 24 million. To end slavery. I know of no other country on the face of the earth that has fought a civil war to end slavery. Number three, we're not a perfect nation. Human beings aren't perfect. The issue is what do you do about it? Are you supposed to destroy the existing society? Is that what you're supposed to do? To what end? The people of Iran today are slaves. Qatar, a nation of about 340,000 people, has a million to a million and a half indentured servants working for that country.

See the way women are treated throughout the Islamic world? Brutalize little girls sold into sex slavery and so forth and so on? Not a word, nothing. Did this man speak out when his favorite party, the Democrat Party under Biden, and the man who wants to be governor of California right now was heading to the Department of HHS, when 320,000 unaccompanied minors when missing? Many sold into sex slavery? Slavery. Did he say anything? When the border was wide open and women were sold into slavery. Women of color coming across the border. Did he say anything about that? Did he show any interest whatsoever? No, he didn't. He can talk about the past. The past. Every continent has problems in the past. I don't care if it's Africa. I don't care if it's South America, North America. And we can go on and on. There's a lot of evil in humanity. A lot. There's also a lot of good. A lot of good. What he's really doing is he's telling you, if you're not a Democrat and you're not a liberal, then we haven't resolved the race problem. The Democrat Party of slavery, segregation. The Democrat Party. Yes. That's what he's really saying. Read my book, American Marxism. They've taken these issues, or the Democrat Party hates America. And they have politicized them for one party. So if you don't buy the radical left agenda, the Democrat Party, obviously you can't get over racism. Obviously, you believe in unresolved racial political issues because of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Well, what are the Voting Rights Act of 1965 saying? That race is not supposed to be a predominant factor in determining congressional districts. Why? Because the Democrats were using race to prevent black districts.

He can't turn it on its head and say, as long as they're black districts, it's okay. That's not what the law says. And as a matter of fact, as I've pointed out here before, Democrats and Republicans have used the Voting Rights Act that way to prevent blacks from making inroads into white suburban districts. Why would black politicians do that? Because they're trying to protect their seats. So they're not competitive. The Supreme Court didn't say, you can never have black districts. The Supreme Court said they can be black, white, green, purple doesn't matter. As long as you go about it the right way. As long as there's an opportunity for everybody of every race to run and have a shot at it. Ali Valsh, you bought overseas, raised in Canada, comes to the United States and trashes our country. What he really means is you all need to be Democrats. Democrats. Otherwise, you're racist. I'll be right back.

We have all these so-called artists who have backed out of the 250th celebration. Really grotesque. And the person who's in charge of the parks and these kinds of events is the Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum, a really good guy. And he was on CNN Sunday, and here's what he had to say about it all. Cut 13, go. I can't wade into the politics of musicians because, you know, some musicians want to play music for everybody, and some musicians seem to have segmented their audiences the same way, you know, politicians have.

But this is Freedom 250 and the celebration of the 250 is a nonpartisan event. And I would encourage, you know, everybody in America to get out celebrating your own way, celebrating your own community. And if you're here, you know, over those 15 days, you get a chance to see the amazing things going on across all of our 50 states. Mm-hmm. Notice how she keeps trying to interrupt them, Mr. Producer? Dana Bash. A disaster like the rest of them. There's a big scandal out there, this guy running in Maine. He's still backed by... Look, Bernie Sanders is a commie, so he doesn't care if the guy's a pervert. He doesn't care if he cheats on his wife and sends these grotesque texts to six women, maybe 12 women. He doesn't care if he has a Nazi prison guard, concentration prison guard, tattoo on his chest. Doesn't care if he was a Nazi because now he's a commie. It's all Bernie cares, but remember power, baby, that's it. They don't care who it is, what it is, where it is, illegal aliens, whatever it is. And so they're backing this guy. So he's with his wife yesterday. Oh, it's just gossip. Gossip. These texts are grotesque. Just like his other stuff about his public stuff that he did. The guy, and of course... He trashes two men, one of whom was shot four times during military action. Trashes him. Just disgusting. Cut 19 go. It's no surprise to me that the establishment media outlets are just going to run gossip instead of wanting to talk about it. It's not gossip. These are facts about you. He dismisses everything like I didn't know. I was young. I was druggy. I just came out. PTSD. You know, that's just gossip. That's it. No, none of it's gossip. It's all true. All of it. And for the most part, the Democrat Party stands with this guy. Overwhelmingly. Because they want the seat. They want power. They don't give a damn about you. It's about them. Go ahead. in this race, which are the material realities that the Mainers are working with. These people are going to try to make this race about anything but what it's supposed to be about, which is policy. Right. Whatever you do, don't talk about the character of the candidate. Actually, Americans are smart. What do you call people in Maine? Mainers? Mainers? Mainers are relatively smart. Some are really smart. They vote conservative. But you get the point. His policies are not unlike North Korea. Just like Bernie Sanders. Health care for all. Does that mean I get the medical treatment I want when I need it? Health care for all. Can I see the doctor I want? Health care for all. Are there going to be waiting lines? Health care for all. Of course, there's waiting lines, there's inferior care. No, you can't see the doctor you want. Obamacare has blown up health care in this country. The prices are now through the roof. Remember how you were going to get $2,500 back? Remember all that? It was nirvana. It was unbelievable. Notice nobody asks Obama about Obamacare. In fact, nobody asks any of the Democrats. The Sunday shows. Nobody asks any of the Democrats about Obamacare.

how it's destroyed the pricing system, the market system. And you and I subsidize it to hundreds of billions of dollars. And so when the Republicans said, I think we need to reform this, the Democrat, no, no. You know, these guys, it's like the Titanic, you know? As long as they're not on it, of course, they're happy to sink it. Doesn't matter. Just like that jerk from MS. Now, Velvy, or whatever the hell his name is. The guy from Kenya, Canada, and then the United States. I don't know if we can actually celebrate, you know, 250 years. Then get the hell out of my country, you jackass. If it's that hard? Here he is on TV. It's all the free speech rights imaginable. Don't you get disgusted when these elitists, these overpaid? You know, elitists are complaining about the country. Many of you are working hard. You break your backs, you bet you're enjoying your life. You love your family. You have an apartment or you have a home. You can feed them and you're doing things you want to do or maybe you're working towards something you want to do. You don't trash your country. These guys, they got TV cameras in their face. They're way overpaid, damn near all of them. You know, I don't know if we can get through this. You know, we've never really come to grips with it. No, never. We had a civil war. Never came to grips with it. An entire civil rights movement. What it is, if you're not a Marxist, you don't believe in big government. Now, if you don't believe in electoral processes and the gerrymandering that helps Democrats, regardless of race, quite frankly, if you don't help them, help them win, then obviously you're a racist. Obviously. Yeah, that's it. That's the answer. Now, if you are black or Hispanic or gay or woman and you're a Republican and you run for office, they're not going to support you. They want to defeat you, even if you're running against a white guy. They still want to defeat you. No, no. How many times have they said, you know what? I'm going to back that black guy. He's a Republican. He's a moderate. I like that guy. Even though I'm a Democrat, he's running against another guy, a different race, a white guy, whatever. I'm backing the black guy. Voting rights act. You know, black guy. Not once. You never hear that. Ever. Ever. The only people they went on the Supreme Court are leftists. If they happen to be Jackson, a black woman, then they're proud. First black woman. She can't define woman, but first black woman. Great. How about the second black man ever, Clarence? No, we have to destroy him. We've got to use the worst kind of stereotypes against him. We've got to set him up and knock him down right at the end there. And he's one of the greatest justices in American history. One of the greatest justices in American history. I'll be right back. Mark Lopen.

That leak in Axios by two senior officials in a third. And I talked about it. Hour one. Let me be clear about something. Because this is really troubling to me. It's hard to shake. Whomever leaked that story to Barack Ravid at Axios did a grave disservice to our country, to our president, to Israel, and to Israel's prime minister. The Iranian regime will benefit from that leak, viewing us as weak and desperate for a deal. even coming to Hezbollah's defense. The Israeli people will also be furious. The missiles are aimed at them, not Washington. And for a hundred other reasons, what was thought to be a devastating political hit on Benjamin Netanyahu by the leakers about a private call between heads of state has done much damage to us and our military and our diplomatic strategy. If the leakers or others believe Israel should abandon its survival for some deal, they will have a very hard lesson to learn. If the substance of the call is accurate, it's bad enough, in my view. Now, will there be an FBI investigation that determine who leaked? If not, why not? I just posted this, because there's a whole other world, a whole cesspool on the Internet. Unlike here on talk radio, which I think is, I think you're very classy. I think this whole industry is very classy. I think all the businesses involved in talk radio are very classy, quite frankly. It's not the same with the internet and the cesspool and the toxicity and so forth. I'll prove it to you. Anytime I post anything like this thing I just posted, go ahead and look. Go on X and look. In come the bots and homegrown neo-Nazis and Islamists. It's almost as if they come in in mass, isn't it, Mr. Producer? They just trigger. They know I'm there, and they're all coming in at once. So we know some of it's paid, some of it's phony, some of it's overseas. We got that. And the last time you did sort of a sample, you found like 40% of it was from overseas, didn't you? And most of that was what? From Pakistan?

Something like that is my recollection. This is how they try and address us, you and me, you see. Did we play that clip of Graham Platner yet? I want to follow up with this article in the New York Slimes, and it's a long article. It goes on and on and on. Graham Platner's text with women concerned campaign as Senate race took off. His bid for the Senate was gathering steam last summer when his campaign was confronted with some potential explosive information. Yeah, he was a Nazi. Yeah, pervert. Yeah, all kinds. My wife, Graham Platner's wife, Amy Gertner, told a senior campaign aide that he had been exchanging sexual messages with multiple other women. I've never done that. Have you done that, Mr. Producer? Well, if you have, you better be quiet. or at least not run for office. Now the point is the guy's married. He's married and he's exchanging these sexual texts and messages with other women. Now that may not bother anybody else, but he's married. What's the kind of revelation with the potential to damage the political newcomer? Mr. Graham Platner's exchanges of women were confirmed by current and former campaign officials. who gave different accounts of some of the details. Ms. Gartner said the couple who'd been married in November 2023, according to the town clerk, was working through his indiscretions in marriage counseling. This guy's a real headcase. Oh, they caught me. Okay, let's go to marriage counseling, honey. What do you say? Genev MacDonald, a former state legislator who was Graham Platner's campaign political director before leaving in October. said his wife reached out just days before a big Labor Day rally with Senator Bernie Sanders in Vermont and was concerned her husband's behavior would become a political liability. Honestly, folks, what kind of woman is this? Seriously, I don't mean to offend. She said, Ms. McDonald said the wife told her that her husband had been exchanging sexual messages with as many as a dozen women. A current Graham Platner campaign official. said it was up to six. It wasn't twelve, it was six for crying out loud. But the conduct stopped right before the campaign was launched. Doing it right up to the time he decided to run. The current official said that the message surfaced when Ms. McDonald asked Mr. Gert, his wife. If there was anything she wanted to share in an internal vetting process, his wife told the campaign the couple had dealt with issues in counseling. The revelation threatened to add to democratic anxieties about the state of the main race. What democratic anxieties? Who, other than Cory Booker, who said he is concerned? Who else said they're concerned? Nobody else. I confided deeply personal details about my arch to someone I considered a friend, said the wife. I trusted this person with the most private chapter of our lives, the early days of our marriage, before any campaign was on our mind. So she's mad at the leaker, which I understand. But apparently not that man at her husband. On Saturday evening, she also released on lengthy direct-to-camera video, by the way, which was filled. I thought she was Megyn Kelly for a second, dropping the F-bomb all over the place and the S-word all over the... I said, what, is she a podcast or something? Lots more. We'll be right back.

With Donald Trump backing off as 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 megastores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your... rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Dick Durbin's fail policies before. His last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs than fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators stop Dick Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. Learn more at guardyourcar.com. That's guardyourcar.com. Paid for it by the Electronic Payments Coalition. He's here. 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 877-381-3811. From a Yal Yacobi, just an hour after President Trump said he spoke to Hezbollah. That's the first president to speak to Hezbollah. After they agreed to stop firing, and by the way, the Saudis assured us that they had, guess what, Mr. Producer, Hezbollah launched a massive barrage of rockets at Israel civilians.

Would that be somebody you would listen to or respect? Because that's Steve Bannon. The facts I just gave you are not in dispute. That's Steve Bannon. Now, this same individual, Steve Bannon, had spent hours and hours and hours with Jeffrey Epstein. And there's videotapes of this. He's teaching, he's prodding, he's coaching Jeffrey Epstein. After this guy's already been convicted of a zillion horrific offenses on how to deal with you, the public, and the press. I assume he got paid for it. How can we have no transparency? All these people on Capitol Hill go on and on, I want to know who's paying who, we're going to get the receipts, we're going to... What a bunch of buffoons! Okay, where are the videos? Where are the videos? What did Steve Bannon and Epstein do? I call them the Epstein Steve Bannon videos. How come Steve Bannon won't go on his program, the fraud room, and just explain it? What's he covering up? This guy hasn't missed a meal, that's for sure. So what's he covering up? I don't think he's taking a shower in about two or three years either. But what do I know? Anyway. And I don't know why Chairman Comer are some of these other guys who say, we're going to get to the bottom of this, Epstein stuff. Why haven't they subpoenaed his videos for investigative and legislative purposes? Maybe Congresswoman Luna will help us with that. She seems to be very focused on this, which is fine, which is good. Maybe Ro Cahana, aka Roe Conman. Complete scumbag. But maybe he'll help us with this. And of course, the late great Thomas Massie who couldn't hold his own seat in the Republican primary and says that proves we're going to have a revolution and I'm going to run for president. Sick and getting sicker. But nonetheless, Thomas Massie, Ro Khanna. Comer, Luna, ABC, one, two, three, whoever they are. There's big bloated ban, and you can't miss them. What was he telling Epstein? How much was he paid by Epstein? Why was he even with Epstein? Mr. Producer, are these fair questions? Aren't these people telling us they want to get the bottom and everything and release names and everything? Why do they avoid him? How does Steve Bannon get a pass? He shouldn't. In my humble opinion. Let's go back to another sleazeball, back to this guy, Graham Platner from Maine. Now, Ms. McDonald, that was the campaign lady. Her account of Ms. Gertner's, that's the wife, discovery of the messages and her alerting the campaign to them last summer before the rally with Mr. Bernie Sanders was confirmed by another person who was told about the messages at the time. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported the existence of the messages on Saturday afternoon. Now, despite all this, the Nazi stuff, the communist stuff.

The pervert stuff, the texting, lewd things to women when you're married. Bernie Sanders stands firmly with the guy. Because these communists stand together. They stand together. Elizabeth Warren. There's another one. Stand together. Roe Conman. There's another one. You know, Roy Conman, much like Karl Marx. You know, Karl Marx played the London Stock Exchange while he was attacking capitalism. Did you know that, Mr. Producer? It wasn't even his own money. It was his father's money. His father was a lawyer. This guy, he was filthy. He didn't shower much. He was vulgar. He didn't have much of an income. And he played the stock market with his father's money who gave him some money to pay the rent while he was trashing capitalism. Now, you know, the funny thing is capitalism, a stock market, seemed to go hand in hand, don't they? They're all hypocrites. They're all buffoons. Let's go on. Now, Ms. McDonald, the campaign lady, shared with the New York Slimes, what she said was a screenshot of a text message, a message exchanged with the wife that started in the early hours of August 27, 2025. We're talking about recently. The wife had sent a message to a broader group asking someone from the campaign to contact her, and Ms. McDonald offered a talk in their conversation. The wife told her about the messages, which she described as sexting, according to Ms. McDonald. Not to get too sick, and I don't want about this. Why do these perverts, you know, he had that former congressman. I can't remember his name. You remember him? What do they think sending pictures of their you know what is? is attractive. May I ask you that, Mr. Producer? I mean, does a woman want to say, well, look at that picture. No. No. The United States Senate is not a training ground for redemption. Ms. McDonald, the campaign lady said it is a place for proven leaders with moral clarity and integrity. Well, he's got none of that. McDonald was one of three campaign officials who resigned in October after revelations about controversial social media posts by Mr. Graham Platner and scrutiny of a tattoo widely recognized as a Nazi symbol. What did this guy do every day, Rich? He's texting. He's grotesque. He's doing stuff in public he's not supposed to be doing. I thought he's an oyster farmer. What the hell is an oyster farmer? If you're an oyster farmer out there, can you call me? What is an oyster farmer? How do you farm oysters? Don't you just kind of throw them all in the pond and hope one day they're big enough to eat? I don't understand it. How do you even know if they're big enough to eat by the size of the shell? Furthermore, I've asked this many times. Who's the first person who ever ate no oyster? Seriously. It's like, what the hell are you doing? I'm going to eat an oyster. Why? Because I can. You're eating what we usually spit up. Do you like oysters, Rich? They're gross, right? I love people. When I was younger, I'd go to a place, you know, they'd have some beers and they'd be oysters. Have an oyster. No, that's all right. That's it. No, it's great. It's great. No, it's okay.

The month since then, despite a barrage of headlines about inflammatory remarks, Mr. Graham Platner made about women online years ago. Remarks for which he has apologized, well, that fixes it. The candidate went on to have a stunning rise to become the presumptive Democrat nominee. You know, the Democrats know how to pick them. They really do. Marxists, Islamists, Nazis, racists, anti-Semites. Sort of a rainbow coalition of freaks, frauds, and phonies. As he heads into a tough general election fight against Ms. Susan Collins, the incumbent, some Democrats remain anxious. Now, they're not anxious that'll win and they'll have a sicko among them, no, because apparently there's many sickos up there. There's many sickos. They pay these, you know, these use our tax dollars to pay off all these charges and everything against them. How hard is it? To be a senator and a congressman and keep your pants on your skirt on. How hard is that? Standards, you know. Republicans for their part, here's the slimes, are broadcasting a steady drumbeat of old Reddit posts in which Mr. Graham Platner insulted women, black people, white rural people, and others. How dare the Republicans actually make the voters aware of this? Mr. Graham Platner has spoken openly about struggling for years with post-trauma stress disorder. You know what I hate about this? Because I know a lot of people served in the military, including in my family. They hate when flunkies like this use their service and after-service period as a justification or a defense for their conduct. There are people that really do have issues and problems and so forth. But they're not putting Nazi symbols on their chest. They're not harassing women. They're not sending dirty pictures and texting them to women. They're not doing stuff in public that this guy's... You understand, folks? This is all really an attack on the military in the military service. The way he went after those two servicemen, one of whom was shot four times and he says he wishes he was killed. What kind of a... This is a sick man, which is exactly why Bernie Sanders loves him. He's a sick man, too, in a different way. In 2013, he posted that women afraid of rape should not get so drunk that they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to. How's that, folks? Where all the women's groups, with all the stuff going on that's so gross... Are they even around anymore? In another post, he responded to a cartoon about sexual assault in the military dismissing challenges faced by service members who bring crimes or rape. He said, when every whisper of a misplaced hand brings down a feature-length film, anyone who actually thinks the military is purposefully covering up rape, it's clearly both an idiot and junior enough in rank or life experience to think it matters. So he's dismissing it. In January 2020. That wasn't many, many years ago, was it? He waited into a debate over whether West Coast Marines were more chill, arguing that they get to bang L.A. chicks, whores. Oh, this guy's lying. I'm not even going to get into this. He deleted the history ahead of his campaign kickoff, you know, because they try and cover up. They try and clean it up. And then when you bring it up, it's gossip.

As the primary heated up, Governor Janet Mills, his Democrat opponent, seized on his post, releasing ads featuring women responding to his remark about rape with disgust. But I apologize. I don't mean any of the 4,000 things that I erased on. They tell you know. His campaign organized an online event aimed at helping its female supporters talk with their networks about Mr. Graham Platner's posture toward women. So is a woman hater and a womanizer. He's a pervert. He sends texts and so forth, the things I'm not going to repeat. He's also a pervert. He's done things in public you're not supposed to do by any means. It was a misjudgment when he put the Nazi sign of a Nazi concentration camp guard tattoo on his chest and left it there for his entire adult life. Mistake. But he says, look, I fix that. I'm now a communist. Oh, okay. I'm now a communist. He's just a regular guy, an oyster farmer, because that's what regular guys do. He's just a regular guy, be a swell senator representing the people of mine. I remember when Ed Muskie was a senator. I didn't much care for him, but he was, you know, a class act.

Olympia Snow, I didn't much care for her, but, you know, none of this stuff. Look, I've just endorsed Susan Collins. She's more liberal than I would prefer. She's more liberal than I would prefer. But she's not scum of the earth like this guy. And yes, I will vote for a more liberal Republican against a Nazi turned communist, a disgusting pervert who trashes women, makes fun of rape. and then trashes two service members, one of whom was shot four times. Yeah, yeah, I think I'll vote Republican for Susan Collins. What do you think of that, Rich? 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 the 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 the 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 in a time of global uncertainty, and what's at stake if the next generation forgets the history and principles behind it. On the front lines 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. You know, folks, I have my opinions about things and I try and raise them. When I have a disagreement with a friend or an ally in a respectful way, and I will always do that. Because I know they mean well. Because I know if you're my friend, you love the country. Otherwise, you wouldn't be my friend. So I just want you to be aware of that. It's different. When I know people hate us, they hate the country. when they're trying to self-promote and grift, you know, like the bannons of the world and his ilk. But I know this about President Trump, that he does love the country, that he is trying to do his best, and I'm hopeful this works out properly. I hope it works out from my perspective on top of that. Time will tell.

Time to tell. Let's go to Robert, Odessa, Texas, the great K-W-E-L. Robert, how are you, sir? I'm great, Mark. Thank you very much for taking my call. Great show. I'm a regular listener and a MAGA supporter and a Trump supporter. Thank you. My comment is I've heard your kind of position on the Iran War. I've heard from Senator Johnson. and Lindsey Graham that we need to go in, quote, unquote, finish the job. And I understand that. We've been at war with this regime for 47 years, and they're the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and enemy of Israel and us. But I think the only way you can do that, as I think as history shows us, is to totally destroy them, like we did Nazi Germany. and the Japanese, you know, with a land, and we had to do an invasion with boots on the ground. Well, it's not going to happen. We're not going to send in ground troops. And let me suggest that you're being very earnest. Let me suggest that we destroyed the Soviet Union without sending in infantry, which would have been a disaster. And the public is not going to support it. It's just not. And so again, I go back to something I've been talking about for a couple of months. Arm the Iranian people. Help train them. Give them air cover. Give them logistics. We'll be right back.

Levin, Radio's principal patriot. Call in now at 877-381-3811. Okay, let's check out the callers here. Let's go. Ralph. New York, New York, the great W.A.B.C. How are you, Ralph? Very good, Mark. I just have a question to ask you. Maybe you can shed some light on this. Are you familiar with the Irma on Social Security for Medicare? Irma, is that a woman? No. It's a tax that they put on your Medicare. What happens is when you make a certain amount, you pay so much each month for your retirement. Yeah, I know. I pay a ton. Yeah, me too. But anyway, the Irma is an extra tax that they put on. And the thing about it is that you're medical. And I just like to know where the money goes to, the extra money they take from me. Every year I don't get it, but it depends how much money I'd make. Well, is that part A, part B, there's part D, there's part G. What part are you talking about? I'm not sure exactly what part it is A, B, or maybe it's the whole thing. It's just a basic amount you pay every month. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to help you out. Don't hang up. Mr. Producer, will you give him the contact number for Chapter, please? Ralph, I'm going to help you out. Everybody else who needs help too. Don't hang up. We're going to give you the contact for Chapter, which is a fantastic service. that addresses questions like this, and I'm sure they'll be able to help you. So don't hang up. Let's go to Joe Woodbridge, Virginia, the great WMAL. Go. Mark, an honor and a pleasure. Thank you, sir. I'm a little frustrated. I'm a little frustrated. I just don't understand why the mainstream media and possibly President Trump is allowing Iran to dictate the terms of the deal when it comes to Iran, when it comes to Israel, decimating Hamas and Hezbollah. I believe that it's a separate issue, and it shouldn't be part of the Iranian deal. And we should allow Israel to be down to be down. Because Iran wants Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas, part of the deal, particularly Hezbollah, because that's really, it's like it's fighter wing. And Israel's saying, don't let them be part of the deal. We've got to wipe these guys out. Why don't we let them wipe them out? I don't get it. You know, Hezbollah will never stop attacking Israel until there is no more Hezbollah. That's the bottom line. And Hezbollah's killed Americans. Isn't it patriotic to kill these guys off?

I'm a former Marine. I was stationed out in 29 Palms, California, in 1983. I was attached to the 3rd Tank Battalion, and we were put on 24-hour notice. And, you know, I'll be honest, Mark, if revenge for the death of all our Marines in Beirut and all our people in Iraq who were maimed by the improvised explosive, if revenge was the only motive for attacking Iran, then I'm all in. I'm with you. They've already killed off Nasrallah, all these people who are involved in killing, you know, all of our guys. And they don't get any credit for that. It's just kind of crazy. And now they're in there. Do you know, after they were assured, apparently after this relatively brutal phone call, the Saudis assured our president, according to another report, that Hezbollah would not shoot any more missiles? Do you know they shot... a whole barrage of missiles into Israel right after that? Sure. You know, I praise Donald Trump for being the first president to really take on Iran. But I really, really, really want to see Israel take out for good, Hezbollah, Hamas. And while we're at it, we should take out the Houthis as well for good. It doesn't look like that's going to happen, which is frustrating a lot of people in this audience, a whole lot of Trump supporters, hardcore people in this oil, and particularly people who have served in the military, have been calling this show left and right, many veterans, finish them off, finish them off, so we don't have to deal with this anymore. And I'm with that. And I've talked about the ideology of this regime. If you don't destroy the regime, if you don't arm the Iranian people, and give them the kind of backing and support they need. I'm not talking about troops on the ground. I'm talking about, you know, technical information, location information, training, arms, and so forth. You're not going to take out the regime, but apparently we're not supposed to do that. I don't know why. I don't know why regime change is a phrase that we're supposed to hate. We want to destroy these bastards so they can't keep doing what they're doing, or they're going to keep doing what they're doing, and then your kids and grandkids are going to be shipped off to war. All right, my brother. Great call. Thank you. We've had great callers. We've had great callers a lot. I don't want to thank you all for that very much. You know, Jill Biden's out there selling a book. Honestly, she's making a fool out of herself. The thing she's saying about her husband, everybody knows it's not true. She knew he has... at least some level of dimension. We all know it's not something to make fun of, not in my view. So I'm not going to play her clips because I don't really care what she says. I'll leave it to everybody else. But I am going to go back to this guy, Graham Platner. This guy, Chris Murphy, is a real piece of you know what. And I want you to listen to how he defends Graham Platner. He's a nasty punk, this guy, Chris Murphy. Cut nine go.

I mean, Graham Platner is somebody that served our country. He served his community. He's also made mistakes, and he has admitted that. Character also involves standing up to people who are bankrupting and corrupting this country. Now we go to Trump. Go ahead. Contrast between somebody that has put his life on the line for this country. Mr. Producer, have we tried to get this reprobate on? Let's try again. I just want to interview him. Here's Cory Booker. He's on ABC this week. Boy, they must be hurting. DeFace the Nation had Chris Murphy. I mean, Chris Murphy's not a hard get. They don't actually have to book him because he's calling. Can I come on? Can I come on? Can I come on? You need a filler? I'm ready. Can I come on? Guys are nut. Then there's Cory Booker. Good job in Newark there, Corey. The Democrat militia. That's right. Armed and dangerous. And they're attacking horses. Did you see that, Rich? They were hitting horses with, I don't know, wood. And throwing bricks at them? I mean, these are sick, this Antifa. We got to get to the bottom of this group, pull it out by the roots. Pull it out by the roots. Cut 10, go. Do you have concerns with the weight of all these controversies that it may jeopardize democratic hopes to get that Senate seat in Maine? Yeah, I have concerns. That guy has questions to answer, and that's what campaigns are for. But when I go all over New Jersey and see hundreds and hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans losing their health care and millions more seeing their health care costs go out. All right. Slow down. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans losing their health care from what? The costs? You can thank Obamacare in the Democrat Party, not a single Republican voted for Obamacare. Not one. Didn't you get your $2,500 check from the federal government? Remember, Obamacare was going to save us $2,500 a year? They just lie. So what Obamacare has done, because it's so huge, is it's driven up the cost of all medicine. It's driven up the cost of all insurance rather than driving it down, and it needs these, in spite of the cost increases, in spite of the inadequate quality care, The American taxpayer is paying twice. Those of you on Obamacare paying, and then you're also paying taxes to subsidize it. That's how bad this is. We spent God knows how much time talking about it. And they just go, eh, Medicare for all. Shut up, you idiot. You don't even know what you're talking about. These are the Obamacare people, the Democrats. They've destroyed the market system for medical care. They've destroyed the insurance coverage for medical care. That's why your costs are going through the roof. How come we're paying so much? Because of you bastards, that's why. I'll be right back.

Eric, Franksburg, Maryland, the great, serious XM satellite. Go. Hi, Mark. I was wondering, do you think this agreement that's out there that they're talking about with the president, would that be considered a treaty? And then would that kick in the treaty provision that's in the Constitution? It's a great point. And technically, you're correct. It would. But they don't seem to send anything in there for treaties anymore, do they? Even the Obama deal, excuse me, cholera, even the Obama deal, they change the rules to accommodate him and so forth and so on. So I suspect if the president wants it, it's going to be tough. But to answer your question, technically yes, it should go through the process. And the reason I think you're asking this is because it takes a super majority of the senators to approve a treaty, doesn't it? Yes, it does. Yes. You told, yes, you brought that up during the Obama Iran deal, how they went around it with like, they tried to pass a law. And you said they hijacked the treaty provision. And they did. And technically there should too. I'm just saying it's unlikely, but it should. If we go through the Senate Judiciary Committee, the chairman there is Lindsey Graham. And that he thinks the Senate needs to take a look at it. So who knows? But I have serious doubt that that's going to happen. So much of the Constitution these days is very upsetting. The way they treat the impeachment clause, which is outrageous. Other clauses they ignore completely, and not just in Congress. The judiciary, too, does the same thing. But good call, Eric. Excellent. All right, there's one other thing I wanted to get to before we leave here. Did you know Hakeem Jeffries was outside that Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, too? And this guy, Andy Kim, the senator, you know, he got hit with, what do you get hit with? Laughing Gas or something? Pepper spray. Says it was the worst day of his life. Let me help this senator because... He apparently is not really that sharp. When you go to something like this and you're obstructing federal law enforcement and state troopers and state law enforcement, and you're standing sort of between law enforcement and the rioters, the violent rioters, Antifa, and they're shooting pepper spray. That is... Law enforcement and Antifa, you may get hit in the face with pepper spread. Just a word to the water. Didn't his mother tell him this? Apparently not. And here's the genius right here. Cut five, go. People are looking at these images and thinking of earlier this year in another city. Are you concerned about that? Oh, I'm hugely concerned. You know, absolutely. I've gotten so little sleep this past week. I mean, this has been, you know, one of the most difficult weeks of my entire life. And again, it's not about me. It's just I am so worried about my state. I've not seen my state with this level precariousness through my entire time, you know, in elected office. So I'm worried about what comes next. It's uncertain.

And I'm hoping. Okay, let me help you out, pal, because you sound very dim-witted as a matter of fact. People are in detention. They're here illegally. Some of them have killed. Some of them have raped. Some of them are pedophiles. Some of them are not. The first claim was that some of them didn't like their food. I'm sorry, you don't like your food? Too damn bad. Will you salute? We salute all your heroes out there, given the time and the clock here, and we wish you all the best. How about tomorrow? Can we do this again tomorrow? Yeah, same place, same time. Thank you. God bless you. And see you then.
