He's here. 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.

Thank you. Thank you. Here are number, hello, hello, hello. 877381, 381, 3811, 877, 3811. We've got tons to do. We've got to jump into the DNA pool. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. We're going to talk about what the president said in Iran. We're going to talk about many other things, but... I want to congratulate the terror lobby. They always talk about the Israel lobby. Let's talk about the terror lobby. The Arabs and the Islamists. They're very active. And they're electing people to Congress in the Democrat Party. Not one in the Republican Party, let me mind you. Not one. Not one. But the Democrat Party is flooded with them.

with Marxists, Islamists, Marxists and Islamists. Oh, yeah. This Democrat from Maryland, his name's Chris Van Hollen. He is a translucent American, a. He's whiter than white. He's almost like, you know, a see-through. He's a translucent American. And he's the greatest friend the Islamists have in Congress. He, Bernie Sanders, the Red Stalinist, Talib, Hamasian, in my opinion, and so forth and so on. But this guy in Maryland, Chris Van Hollen, praised by care, utterly trashing the state of Israel constantly. Never says a negative word about the Islamists, Qatar, nothing. Comes to the defense of Iran. Yeah, that's what the Democrat Party, and this guy in particular does when they attack Trump, our commander in chief, trying to defeat the regime in Iran. Not even nuclear missiles get in his way. That's this big op-ed in the New York Slimes. It's time to break with Israel. It's time to defund Israel. It's time to do this with Israel. Do that with Israel. Israel. Two-state solution. What a jackass. And the Democrats are goose-stepping right behind them in the Senate because they want him to be the next majority leader. Once Chuck Schumer leaves, Chuck Schumer won't leave until he has to leave. Chris Van Hollen. Chris Van Hollen is his name. Most of you never heard of him for good reason. But he might as well walk on the Senate floor with one of those Palestinian... What do they call them, Mr. Produce? Those scarfs. Kifa, that's it. You'd be very good on one of these game shows. Kifa. Not a Kipa, Kifa. He's really into it, this guy.

Just a horrendous op-ed. And then they come out of the woodwork, these Democrats, like cockroaches. I agree with Chris. Oh, Chris wrote a great piece. Oh, Chris, Chris, you're just so great as they goose up behind him. That's right, I said it. The Democrat Party. Party of slavery, the Party of Islamism, never the Party of Americanism, never ever. Never. Never. Party of Zohran Mamdani and Talib and Omar and Hamaway. Who? Adam Hamaway. H-A-M-A-W-Y. He's a plastic surgeon he served in the military. Ours. He's a good guy. Just because he traveled with the blind sheikh, just because he was an interpreter with the blind sheik, just because he worked with the Benevolence International Foundation later shuttered as an al-kind of front group. That's the new news today. He's a good guy. And here's the piece in the Jewish insider. Adam Hamoazi. This guy is in line to be the Democrat, representative, a Democrat representative from New Jersey. Now, when I was growing up in Philadelphia, New Jersey was a very ethnic state, mostly Italians and Irish, I'm being honest. And then you had a number of Hispanics coming in, particularly in South Jersey, because very agriculture-oriented. And now a little of a sudden. You got these heavy-duty pockets of Islamists. Patterson, New Jersey, claims to be the Palestinian city in the United States. They fly the Palestinian flag. They're naming streets after Palestinians. Oh, they're having a good old time. Dearborn, Michigan. Oh, yeah. Popping up cities in Texas. Starting to pop up in cities in Florida. Ooh. I bet you have a governor there is trying to do something about it, the same in Texas. But in these Democrat states, they embrace them because they view them as Democrat votes. Who cares? Who cares if they want to devour our society? Who cares if they live in segregated communities? Who cares if Sharia law is their law? Who cares? They're going to vote Democrat. In fact, we're going to have a number of them run for Democrat positions as our candidates. Power, baby. That's all that matters. Adam Hamways. H-A-M-A-W-Y-S. Have you heard anybody talk about this today? No, nobody. Nobody. Nobody. Hamway's past relationship with terrorist mastermind, Sheikh Omar Abd al-Rachman, has loomed over his rapid rise in the race to succeed retiring representative Bonnie Watson Coleman. The relationship spanned in 1991 road trip. The two took together to Detroit. Hamway's service as the Sheiks translator for a press conference, which Abdah Rahman, the Blind Sheik, denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Hamway's testimony on the Sheik's behalf at his 1995 trial. Hello! Hello! Any Americans left in this district? Hello!

where the Islamist leader was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City. But just one year before, Hamway took the witness stand to describe his travels with Abd al-Arachban, and now a congressional candidate made a different journey with another party entangled in terrorist conspiracies to Bosnia. Ooh. What a place to vacation. Have you ever been to Bosnia, Mr. Producer? Well, you might not come back. To Bosnia, with a group subsequently shut down for providing, quote, logistical support, unquote, to al-Qaeda. Oh, let me get this straight. Let me get this straight. He took a journey, a journey to Bosnia with a group subsequently shut down for providing logistical support to al-Qaeda. I'm sure Bernie Sanders will support him. I'm sure Chris Van Hollen will support him. I'm sure Hakeem Jeffries will support him. In a 1996 interview with the Newark Star Ledger, according to a copy, Jewish insider recovered through an archive of print publications. Hamway described volunteering in Bosnia during the summer of 1994 with a Chicago-based nonprofit called the Benevolence International Foundation. Remember, Bernie Sanders was literally with a Stalinist Hebutz in Israel when he was a young man. Stalinist. This guys, with an al-Qaeda-related organization, ah, the Democrats are great, aren't they? But it's A-PAC we have to worry about. Yeah, A-PAC! And the power of the Jews! I worked in Sarajevo for 10 days, and then the rest in Zeneca, a large regional center in central Bosnia, Hamway, who had just graduated from medical school, told the paper about the five weeks he spent with the organization. How many of you spent five weeks with an al-Qaeda-related organization? Raise your hand. How many of you spent five minutes with an al-Qaeda-related organization? Raise your hand. Quote, we went out to hospitals around the area and in the mountains to check what supplies they needed, and we tried to deliver them. This guy just happens to show up. The other day I read you the article where he was a translator again for the blind sheik, a terrorist, who almost blew up the World Trade Center the first time. I was just there in a turbo. How do you know? I used with this al-Qaeda-related organ. Five days, fun. Yeah, pal. We're on to you, you jerk.

Sarajevo and Zeneca were the exact cities where the benevolence international maintained its office, this group tied to al-Qaeda. Officers that Bosnian authorities raided in 2002, part of a joint effort with U.S. authorities, to dismantle the group, which they had identified as a front for al-Qaeda. It was only five days. Five days. Five days. And yet he's the Democrat running for this. position in this congressional district. The 9-11 commission report would later identify the foundations based in the Bosnia capital as part of the, quote, impressive array of offices that covertly provided financial and other support for terrorist activists, unquote, that Osama bin Laden established in the early 1990s. Hamway, who escorted endorsements from Bernie Sanders. What a piece of crap that old commie is. Representatives Ro Khanna. There you go. Illiar Omar, Alexandria Casa Castro, and Alashida Talib. There you are. This is the, you know, they have like the progressive, what do they call them, different elements within the Democrat, Republican parties. The Black Caucus, the Progressive Caucus. This is the Terror Supporting Caucus right here. Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Taliban, and the rest. This is the Terror Supporting Caucus right here. They endorsed this guy. They didn't respond to repeated questions about his relationship, but the Benevolence International and his contacts and activities in Bosnia. The plastic surgeon has emerged as a frontrunner in the congressional race despite his relationship with the blind sheik, receiving significant coverage in recent weeks, a 1995 court transcript shows how the then medical student, Hamaway, described meeting the Islamic leader in 1991, visiting him at his home, accompanying him on a 13-hour van trip to the conference in the trip. I was just, you know, I'm just being helpful. That's helpful. The courtroom, he and the sheek, greeted each other warmly, and Hamway denied a government informant's claim that Ablo Rahman had urged the assassination of then-President of Egypt. But no other publication has reported Hamway's connection to Benevolence International since the Star Ledger interview in 1996. Oh, yes, we're busy chasing Trump. We're busy chasing Trump and promoting Thomas Massie. You know, we don't have time. For people who've aligned themselves with terrorists and terrorist organizations. Plus, there's so many running in the Democrat Party. We don't want to, you know, upset the apple cart there. According to evidence, federal prosecutors proffering court and the affidavits of federal agents. The 2002 raids on the Bosnian offices recovered weapons, correspondence between the group's chief executive, Jabidabadu, and Ben Yadden for the 1980s and 90s, letters from other Al-Qaeda leaders on battles and financial transactions, a photo of bin Laden and Arnaud and Arnaud, and organizational chart of al-Qaeda and go on and on and on.

Emission by retail, excuse me, details regarding training camps and Al-Qaeda operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Sudan. Oh, Pakistan. Aren't they our moderator, Mr. Medusa? Oh, yes. With Iran. According to Marco Attila Jorge, a political science professor and historian at the Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, the early 1990s saw a global mobilization of Muslims to aid their co-religionists in the Balkans. Facing a Serbian onslaught, the embattled Bosnian government accepted this support, even though the involvement of foreign Islamic militants would later cause frustration and embarrassment for authorities there. I want to go on. We'll take a little break. This is a Democrat candidate for the United States Congress at a New Jersey. New Jersey used to be known for tomatoes and peaches, you know, at the vegetable and fruit stands. That's the way I remember it. Great delis, great bagels, bagels. Now New Jersey is getting known for Islamists with ties to terrorists. I'll be right back.

In 2025, global gold demand blew past 5,000 tons and hit a record $555 billion in value. Many central banks are quietly diversifying away from the dollar, adding hundreds of tons to their reserves. Large institutions poured in the second biggest inflow on record, and barring coin demand hit a 12-year high. Meanwhile, mine supply grew just 1%. New gold can't be printed, and a recent report said it plainly. Gold demand just broke a record, supply can't keep up. For retirees, that means... your traditional stock and bond mix has fewer safe places to hide. That's why I recommend monetary gold, 26 years in business, a plus better business bureau rating, zero unresolved complaints, and every fee disclosed before you spend a cent.

Performance may very, you should always consult. your financial and tax professional. Yes, APAC. Made up of American citizens. No Israelis. No foreign money. APEC. Look at all the control they have in the Democrat Party. As the Democrats keep... Keep what? Promoting Islamists with terror ties. Not just Islam, with terror ties. They work with care. They defend Qatar. I know the administration does too. That's an area that I have real problems with. But that's the way it is. But we don't nominate individuals like this. The federal evidence filed in the case against the benevolence international and Arnaut described how the terror organization deployed a representative to the Balkans in late 1992 on a fact-finding mission for bin Laden, part of a plan to establish a base for operations in Europe against al-Qaeda's true enemy to the United States. The materials assert that senior al-Qaeda officials credited the Benevolence International with obtaining funds and weapons for the jihadist group as well as with helping al-Qaeda secure arms for Bosnian militants. By the time Hamway, the candidate Democrat in New Jersey arrived, well, I'll finish this when we come back, but I am going to finish it.

The big gold story right now, folks, is who's buying gold and how fast they're draining the market. In 2025, global gold demand prices hit dozens of new all-time highs. It was central banks, institutions, serious investors, moving out of paper and into physical metal. And in the U.S., demand for coins, bars, and physically back gold has surged. Meanwhile, mine supply grew just 1%. and you can't print gold. For retirees, that matters, because stocks and bonds are no longer providing the protection they used to. That's why I work with monetary gold. They've helped over 50,000 clients. They've an A-plus Better Business Bureau rating and disclose every fee up front.

Nobody says it better than Mark Levin. I'll go with what Mark Levin said because nobody could say it better. Call in now. 877-381-381. Okay, dokey. Finishing up this piece, The Jewish Insider. By the time this guy, Hamway, this is the guy that wants to be in Congress, by the time he arrived, in Bosnia for this al-Qaeda front group, the Syrian-born Arnaught had already been arrested in Croatia on suspicions of weapons smuggling, according to a 2002 handbook from the Austrian National Defense Academy, and then apparently managed to escape from prison and continued forming and supervising the training centers near Zeneca. An attorney for R. and I called this account of his client's activities unsupported. The area near Zeneca was where this guy Hamway, again, the congressional candidate, Democrat, reported working in 1994. It was also where the Bosnian army had recently set up its El-Muhadin unit for foreign fighters who poured into the war zone according to the European Court of Human Rights. This is a very well-researched article of the Jewish insider. And among the organizations providing the unit with funds and assistance, the court found the Benevolence International Foundation. This group with links to al-Qaeda. According to the testimony of FBI agent Robert Walker, Benevolence International was originally the creation of Saudi Sheikh al-A-Abdull Jabba. Oh, our Saudi friends. Our Saudi friends who are so offended when people call them out, they can go to hell. They were involved in 9-11 and we still haven't gotten all the info. And since sanctioned al-Qaeda financier, the group Walker attested, operated in tandem with the terror group across multiple nations, providing it with logistical support.

That's right. Benevolent International was used in the early 1990s by Osama bin Laden as a means to transfer money to bank accounts generally held by purported relief organizations. In countries where Al-Qaeda members or associates were conducting operations, said the Walker affidavit, which city's multiple confidential informants reads, Arnaut, was an administrator for Osama bin Laden who distributed funds at times on behalf of bin Laden. Arnaut incorporated the Benevolence International Brands in the United States in 1992, served as its CEO. In 1994 year, the year Hamway volunteered with this group, its leadership included Muhammad Loy Abazid, an alleged al-Qaeda co-founder who sought to secure weapons grade uranium for the terrorist group. All right, stop. It goes on, and there's a lot more. Hamway is spelled H-A-M-A-W-Y. This is the guy who wants to be a Democrat representative in the United States Congress. The enemy is here, ladies and gentlemen. They are within. The organization, CARA-HMAS Front Group, has been organizing this since the 1900s, excuse me, since the 1990s. They're secreting themselves into our culture, into our media, into our politics, and now into our government. They'll be secreting themselves into our court system. This is how they're taking down Britain. This is how they're taking down Paris. It's how they're taking down the rest of Europe. And this is the playbook. Right here, right now. They use these left-wing parties, whether it's the Labor Party or the National Socialist Party, depending on where it is, and here are the Democrat Party. Because you have slugs, thugs, like Chris Van Hollen. You've got lifelong communists. Like Bernie Sanders and Jamie Raskin, you've got other operatives. Now you have Taliban and Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic Socialists of America. They're all here. They wake up in the morning with energy, with motivation. They are revolutionaries. Revolutionaries to take down this great country in the 250th anniversary, the Declaration of Independence. That's why I call this program the Voice of America. The Voice of America. I've got to fight off the Woke Reich, R-E-I-C-H, filled with anti-Semites, neo-Nazis, neo-fascists, and I have to fight off and expose the Marxist Islamists. Now, ask yourselves. How the Democrat Party tolerates a guy like Hamway, like Graham Platner in Maine, like Yabadabadu in Michigan. New Jersey's already sending a radical kook, congresswoman, to the House of Representatives. This is serious stuff, America. Serious stuff.

What has given the plastic surgeon such recent prominence has been his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip. during Israel's war with Hamas, including at the European Hospital and Khan Yunus. The IDF struck the hospital repeatedly in 2025 to take on an underground Hamas command center that it said operated beneath the medical center. Multiple interviews in the far-left media, Hamaway has denied the existence of such a terrorist post and insisted to the Jacob, and that's a communist. media operation, that the facility was a completely benign civilian hospital with no tunnels underneath it. Well, then it's the only hospital with no tunnels underneath it in Gaza. The IDF has contradicted his account with footage of subterranean passages, including where it reported recovering the body of Hamas leader, Makhk! Sinwar. Hamas subsequently confirmed the killing. So Sinwar's just hanging out. Just hanging out under the hospital. I mean, come on now. What are you a warmonger? A neocon? What are you? Are you a Jew? An Israeli support? What are you? We can't trust you. No. We'll trust the enemy. The enemy. The blind shing, I didn't know what he was going to do. I was with him. I'm an interpreter. I just happened to be in Bosnia with this organization. We were trying to help people. You understand. Yeah. Just because it had Qatar ties, the benevolent international. How would I know? I was just in Gaza. I was at the hospital. I didn't see any tunnels. I looked everywhere. I didn't see any tunnels. I'm just there saving lives and helping people. I'm a good Democrat. Uh-huh. We'll post this as we post all the articles I use and collect, even the ones I don't use, right, Mr. Producer? We will post them all on marklevinshow.com, The Mothership, where we keep all of our articles for you so you can read it yourself. The title is Leading New Jersey Democrat Congressional candidate, Adam Hamaway, H-A-W-Y. volunteered with al-Qaeda tied group in Bosnia so he's an interpreter for the blind sheikh he volunteered with this group this al-Qaeda front group there he is in Gaza giving eyewitness account no no tunnels under this hospital and the Israelis show film there's not only tunnels there that's where we killed you know sinwa that's their interpretation

I mean, I got more on Zohran Mamdani today. A lot of you people don't live in and around New York City. You know why I'm dealing with this, because he's taken over, he's devouring the biggest city we have, the important financial center, he's conquering it. He's dissembling it. He's depopulating it with people he doesn't support and repopulating it with people he does support. New York City, for God's sakes. All these repubics who are out there saying, let them have New York City, then we'll show everybody how badly it's run. Is that how you win a political battle? He gave up the biggest city in the country? People don't want to fight. I don't mean with fists. They don't want to fight. They're intimidated. They're afraid. They're just going with their lives like nothing's going on. And so they give. acquiescence to these people, to these Marxists and Islamists. Many would terrorize. And so they take advantage of us. We don't seem to have the will to stand up to this. Our ruling class, and by that I don't mean the president, but I mean our ruling class, the rest of it, across the country, whether it's local, state, federal, whether it's cultural, They don't see if they have the stomach for this. And it's swirling around us. How much more evidence do we need? What the hell else do we need? Marching in our streets, burning our flag? I play clip after clip where they tell us they want to destroy this country. What else do we need? I'll be right back.

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 thefellowship.org. Please check it out. See, I've been told from some people on Capitol Hill that Chris Van Hollen's wife is a radical. I'm just repeating what I've been told by a couple of damn good sources, too. She's a foreign policy analyst who previously worked for the U.S. State Department specializing in the eastern Mediterranean. Just looking at this. Yeah, she kind of hangs in the shadows, I guess. But... That's what I'm told. Maybe Chris Van Hollen will write something nasty about me, and I can then pursue questioning of him about that. I mean, they attack everybody's family, don't they? Attack the Trump family? Yeah, they do, don't they? I'm not attacking anybody. I'm sure if she's a radical left-wing cook, she's very proud of it. Very proud of her husband. and his alliance with care and other Islamist organizations? Why not? Used to work at the State Department. We all know everybody that worked at the State Department, certainly in prior administrations, are pro-American, aren't they, Mr. Producer? Oh, yeah. Very pro-American over there. Liberty's Voice, my video podcast, a really good one today. I hope you'll check it out. I'll give you a little taste of it. Cut one, go. We're dealing with a completely different Democrat Party right now that hates America, that's embracing Marxism, Islamism, the Woke Reich, R-E-I-C-H that we've talked about here. Many of them are throwing in with the Democrat Party, too. That doesn't mean some Republicans who've been defeated who are hanging on until the end of their terms aren't going to be angry, that they have to be dealt with. I get that. What I'm saying is what President Trump has done and is doing. is not unique in history. What is incredibly unique is FDR, considered one of the most popular presidents in history and the Democrats' favorite president more than Washington and Lincoln, because as I said, he was a socialist, he got blown out. Yes, because FDR tried a purge in 1938, and I'll be talking more about this on life, liberty, and live in, probably on Saturday.

Our second clip from today's Liberty's Voice video podcast, cut to go. The president had a massive win in Texas yesterday, and he's had massive wins throughout, hasn't he? In fact, his endorsement is like the gold standard. That's why candidates want it so desperately. At least in the Republican primary, it makes all the difference in the world, and the evidence is obvious. Has any other president tried this before? And some have. And for the Democrats out there, both of you, the fact is that FDR tried this, and he failed miserably. I could have sworn Trader Tucker Carlson declared a week or two ago that MAGA was dead. I could have sworn that the other day, Megyn Kelly declared that MAGA has shrunk to nothing but supporters of Mark Levin. Do you see how out of touch these nitwits are? Do you see how out of touch they are? How they're trying to undermine the president, undermine conservatism and MAGA, undermine the midterm elections. They're out for blood. It's as if it's coming under their eyes, Mr. Producer. The only influence they have is to disparate a certain percentage of the people out there, but they have absolutely zero influence. in the Republican Party. That's why the Democrat Party media is constantly promoting them and platforming them and using them to attack conservatives, using them to attack the president of the United States and MAGA. They're useful idiots. You've got Nick Fuentes stuck in a pre-bubescent situation. I heard Jesse Waters use that phrase today. He must be a listener. Who uses pre-bubescent, Mr. Producer? He's a good guy, Jesse, too. Pre-bubescent, he's stuck, mad at the world, blames the Jews. Blames the Jews that he hasn't fully been able to achieve puberty. It's the fault of the Jews and Israel. I can't help it. That's in his DNA, which apparently is mixed blood as I understand it. That's right. But he's going to vote Democrat, he said. We need to destroy the Republican Party. Trader Tucker Carlson says the same thing. Kelly? Well, she's of two minds. Youth of which are particularly together, head up to a high IQ, I might add. 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-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Welcome back, America. I'm reading a little bit of the history of this guy, Chris Van Hollen, the senator from Maryland.

He has such a hate on for Israel and Jews, and such a love affair with Islamists and care and other such groups. He's 66, and basically he spent his entire life as a staffer in politics and then a politician. He worked on Capitol Hill for a senator. He became a delegate in the Maryland House. He became a state senator in the Maryland Senate. He became a congressman, and he became a congressman in a district that was once held by a very liberal Republican, Connie Morella. But the Speaker of the House, because Maryland is so politically one-sided, decided he was sick of having this one-republican. This county Morella, so he added five heavy Democrat districts to already a Democrat congressional district, which he was winning by the skin of her teeth on several occasions. So they added five heavy Democrat districts, mostly from African American districts in Prince George's County, and Chris Van Hollen ran against her. in that district and he won. So Chris Van Hollen became a gerrymandered congressman. That's how he got his seat. He's handed to him. And he served there 14 years. Then he decided he'd want to be a senator. And so he became a senator when Barbara Mikulski retired. He was born in Pakistan. It was raised by a father who was a foreign service officer and his mother who worked at the CIA and the State Department. So that can go either way, radical left or conservative, but it's obviously radical left. You went to all these Kay Ivey League schools. Got a law degree from Georgetown. Immediately became a legislative assistant to a very liberal Republican, Matthias, for a couple of years. Then he was an assistant on the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs. Legislative assistant to Maryland Governor William Donald Schaefer, actually a pretty good guy. But he did that for two years. Then he runs for the Maryland General Assembly, and he serves there for it looks like 12 years. First in the House of Delegates for four years, then in the State Senate, and then he runs for this House seat after it was gerrymandered for him to take out the Republican. That take out the Republican. Now he's a senator. As a senator, he's been one of the loudest voices for the Islamists, for the Palestinian Authority. He's been one of the loudest voices against the state of Israel. I'm looking at this, going back years. Years. But of course, the liberal Democrat Jews in Maryland, they don't care. Where's the Democrat? Vote Democrat. Democrat. Vote Democrat. Because that's their religion. Just being honest.

Like in New York and New Jersey. Same damn thing. Same damn. We can only get rid of Benjamin Netanyahu and get a liberal prime minister. They sound just like the Democrats that they are. Just like it. So this guy Chris Van Hollen is a radical. An extreme radical on these issues. He was raised as a radical by his parents, just like Jamie Raskin. Jamie Raskin's father, Marcus Jamie Raskin, founded the Institute for Policy Studies, a communist organization in my view and many other people's view. There was on the wrong side of the Cold War that was constantly undermining people like moderate Democrats and obviously Republicans and conservatives. And there he is in a position of prominence, pushed up by the Democrat Party. Then there's Bernie Sanders. who literally went to a Stalinist kibbutz early in his life in Israel. Not just a communist kibbutz, a Stalinist Kibbutz. Even the other communists, oh, Bernie's in the Marxists. Excuse me, in the Stalinist Kibbutz. So there's three of the leaders of the Democrat Party right there. And you see these positions that we have as a result of them. as a result of them. Bad dude. Bad dude. And a radical in every other respect, too, by the way. He defeated in that House race, Connie Morella, even though they loaded it up with Democrats, 51.74%, the 47.52%. And since then in these Senate races and in the House, and once they, you know, you win that, you win it big. You win it big. Then he, in the U.S. Senate primary, he got 53% of the vote with another Democrat. Now, now he gets 60, 65% of the vote as a senator, as a senator. It's a dangerous man. And he wants to be the majority leader for the Senate, Democrats, once Chuck Schumer, you know. It leaves if he ever leaves. Who knows? So that's who's pushing this agenda. That's who's pushing this agenda. Yeah, bad. These are bad people. And now they're loading up... They're candidates with Islamists and Marxists. They don't even hide it anymore. Who's Zohran Mamdani talking about stealing private property? Zohran Mamdani talking about stealing private property. Like a good Marxist. Not his private property in Uganda, mind you. No. His private property is not to be touched. Let's look at this. Zohran Mamdani's plan to squash private landlords will be nothing but a disaster, a New York Post editorial. Zohran Mamdani is right about the lack of decent affordable housing in this season, but he's worse than clueless about solutions. That's the takeaway from the housing plan he dropped yesterday. He blames Gotham's housing woes on greedy landlords, so his solution so-called is to hand as much ownership as possible to government and community groups. Hello?

Try to find a single New York City Housing Authority tenant who likes having government as their landlord and waiting months or years for, say, an elevator to get fixed. Because government runs things so well, especially in New York City, you know. Especially there. The Zohran Mamdani's plan is to build and reserve 400,000, quote-unquote, affordable homes. 400,000 over the next decade. at a whopping cost of $22 billion, and we know that'll increase to $50, $100 billion. Who knows? Money run by nonprofit groups of the city itself. None of these nonprofit groups are usually communist-run groups, too, close to, you know, the mayor. The mayor clearly knows that the NYCHA, the Housing Authority of New York City, is dysfunctional, but blames President Ronald Reagan for launching an era of funding cuts for public housing. Sorry, but Reagan shout out $1.1 billion for day-to-day operation of public authorities in 1983. By 2023, Washington spent $5.1 billion, a five-fold spike far above inflation. Meanwhile, much of Zohran Mamdani's plan is more of a jobs program. He wants all construction work here to make combined wages and benefits of at least $40 an hour. and to expand project labor agreements, effectively union-dictated terms for new developments. That sounds kind of costly, doesn't it, Rich? 400,000 properties, $40 an hour. So the city will get the fewest number of homes built for every dollar spent. He also vows to crack down the landlord violations, which is okay, except that the overwhelming number of serious violations are largely in rent subsidized buildings where rental incomes barely cover the cost. You see, that's the problem. The landlords can't keep up with the taxes and the upkeep because the rent amounts are frozen, even if you're millionaires and you've been there. You need thousands of such buildings now face foreclosure. Thousands. with more and more landlords behind on their mortgages, and they're not allowed to increase the rent. Now, if that's not the stealing of private property, I don't know what is. The government tells you how much you can charge, and you can't even pay the taxes and the upkeep. Is that not certainly indirectly, the stealing of private property? No wonder people want to get the hell out of there. I'm just being honest. The mayor's rent freeze will make it even worse. And any new owner, private, public, nonprofit will face the same grim math. Unaffordability. Indeed, thousands of such buildings now face foreclosure. Thousands with more and more landlords behind on their mortgages. How does Zohran Mamdani expect them to make repairs? And all this is simply an excuse for expropriation. Quote, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers, he says, and will work to transfer ownership to responsible stores. He's going to steal, they're going to make it impossible for landlords to pay their taxes and their upkeep, effectively, effectively confiscating the property, and then giving it to community land trusts, nonprofits, even tenants themselves.

Now, this is unconstitutional by every definition. Don't you love them when they say, you know, we believe in the Constitution of the United States? No, they don't. They're stealing private property from people. They're making it impossible for them to upkeep the property, to raise rent, making it impossible. And then they say, well, you're not upkeeping it, so we're taking it. Now, Zohran Mamdani's housing ideas chief, so-called Cia Weaver, openly promotes imposing low rents and high taxes to squeeze the owners into foreclosure so the city can grab their properties. Well, there it is, America. There it is. And they want this for the whole country. They want it for the whole country. This is legalized theft, but after all, confiscating private property is the pillar of socialism and Marxism. Yet socialist theories, socialist theories. About improving people's lives always run afoul of reality. The private sector will always supply and manage housing far better than the government, let alone hapless or corrupt community groups. Crushing the private sector won't magically make the public sector any less hapless. Zohran Mamdani's plan steers the city into a deeper housing crisis. And the very tenets, he says he'll help, will suffer the most. The city is going to go into a deep depression. It will go broke. People will go broke. People who make money see that they're going to go broke. I bet the city is depopulating faster than we even know right now. A Democrat. A Marxist Islamist. A Bernie Sanders devotee. This is what you get. Keep talking about nationalizing health care. Can you imagine? They'll destroy our hospitals. To destroy our pharmaceutical companies. They'll destroy the medical profession. It will all collapse. These are ideologues. They're not rational. They're ideologues. They're imposing their ideology, even though it's failed everywhere to try. It doesn't matter. taking over the biggest city in the country and they plan to take over other cities and they tend to take over the democrat party and they are fundamentally doing it right now step by step i'll be right back mark love in

Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City. Well, that would be you. When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers. And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglects. So here you have individuals who can't raise their rates. They know the buildings are deteriorating, having difficulty paying their property taxes, and now they're going to have to pay lawyer fees to defend the property that effectively they don't even control anymore. And what do you think about this? It's all a ruse to steal private property. happening right in the United States, in our biggest city, our biggest financial center, with the most valuable real estate in the country. Here's this punk, after a few months in office. He has unleashed the Islamists against the Jews. That's what he's done. He's seeking to destroy the grocery stores because here's what he knows. People need to eat. He wants to control that too. Then housing, we're going to steal the private property by squeezing the people who own the property. And not everybody owns an apartment or a building and have owned it for decades as rich. But even if they are, they can't do anything about it. And so this is a...

incredible abuse of power. It is a police state. New York is becoming a police state. Or if you are somebody who actually works for a living, whether you're a billionaire in the middle class, whatever you are, you're the enemy. Because you demonstrate that commerce works. You demonstrate that there are people who want to work and you work hard for what you get. You're the enemy. Because you demonstrate that the capitalist system is effective. He's a war with the capitalist system. He's using ideology. He's got the most radical types around him. So he's pushing out the Jews. He wants it as uncomfortable as possible. Bringing in the Islamists and illegal aliens. He's raising your property taxes considerably to destroy homeownership. He says he's going to build 400,000. units of whatever in 10 years like he's going to get two terms and a half or 200 whatever and they're going to be extraordinarily expensive because the minimum wage they're going to use is $40 an hour who's paying for that of course we don't know and the properties that exist he's going to sick the lawyers on you for not upkeeping them they're uninhabitable because he's made them uninhabitable and then steal them from you

This guy is Castro, he is Stalin, he is Mao with that stupid look on his face. That's what he is. Remember, Castro was 29, 30 years old when he led that communist revolution in Cuba. Remember, Mal never had a real job in his life. He was a teacher. Lenin never had a real job in his life. He was a so-called intellectual. And of course, Castro had been a lawyer for about three minutes. I'll be right back.

When everything from gas to food, construction prices are up, what do you expect a number like that to be by the end of this year? You know, I think we're going to keep seeing numbers like that increase across the country, given the economic conditions that Americans are living with. As you said, the war in Iran also is not just a moral affront or a political... The war in Iran is blamed for everything now. The fact that these cities are out of control, their spending's out of control, their property taxes are out of control, sales taxes are out of control. The fact that these cities have been driving up costs, the Democrats have complete control of them, they're always looking for the shiny object. And the shiny object for them is Iran. Not the taxes on a gallon of gasoline, not the taxes on your property. Everything's taxed in these cities, everything. That's why some cities are more expensive than other cities, and some cities are way more expensive than other towns, having nothing to do with the Iran War.

None. Now, when you look at New York City and you look at Florida, where are you going to live, Mr. Producer? No income taxes. You don't have to file a tax return in Florida. And your property taxes slashed. I don't mean cut. I mean slashed. First $250,000, then up to $500,000. covering 92% of all Floridians. That means many of the poor, lower middle class, middle class. The people Zohran Mamdani claims to care about. So Ron DeSantis is trying to do what actually works. Freeze up your money. Freeze up your earnings. It creates jobs. It creates businesses and entrepreneurs want to come there. It's a fantastic program. Zohran Mamdani's view is caps, massive taxes, redistribution of wealth, centralized bureaucratic decision-making, and the government takeover in bigger, bigger parts of the private sector. Now, that's not going to work anymore than it works in North Korea or Cuba, or it worked, not worked in Venezuela. You picked the country.

Florida's becoming what Hong Kong used to be. A massively successful enterprise zone, if you will, which has been destroyed completely by communists. And, of course, they take your liberty away, too. When you steal somebody's property, like he's talking about, steal their buildings. Because they can't afford to upkeep because you've already stolen their income. That reminds me of communist in banana republics throughout Central and South America. I remember when Hugo Chavez, it was disgusting. Decades ago, when he took over Venezuela by a coup, he got elected, claiming again like Castro to be a Democrat to help the people, much like Zohran Mamdani. And then basically that was it. There was never really an election again, or elections, phony elections. But he would walk down the main street in Caracas and his well. And he said to reporters, I remember this film like it was yesterday. And he said it in Spanish, but it had English interpretation. He pointed to these office buildings, pointed to that building, so on to this building. He said, you see these buildings? Yeah. They now belong to us. They said, what do you mean? We're expropriating them. We're taking them. And they just took one after another. That's what Zohran Mamdani's doing. He's creating a facade. Well, you know, they're run down. They can't keep them up. Well, you make them run down. And they're just going to steal them. He's doing the same thing. And in Florida, it doesn't even enter the mind of the governor to do something like that. The opposite enters his mind, which is these counties, in a state, we don't control real estate taxes. So we've got to get these counties under control, including Republican counties, that are out of control, completely out of control. And what we're going to do is start a $250,000 exclusion. No real estate tax. For up to $250,000. on your home. That's pretty damn good, don't you think, Mr. Bidusser? Then we're going to get it to half a million dollars, because that covers 92% of our population. No property tax on up the half a million dollars of your home. No state income tax. Well, how are you going to afford all these things? First of all, we're not going to do all things for you, but... Secondly, the things that a state is supposed to do are going to be done. But we have taxes through tourism. We have commercial taxes. We have all kinds of ways of getting money in here. How can it be that the state of Florida has four million more people than the state of New York? And their state budget is about 60% less than New York's budget. Did you know that, Mr. Medusa? Did you know that, America? The state of Florida's budget is about 60% less than the budget of New York, and there's 4 million more people in Florida. In Florida, in Florida, has a lot of big cities. It's got a lot of cities, too. It's got a lot of diverse communities, too. That's right. It's crazy. I'll be right back.

Rumble and YouTube. Liberty's Voice, check it out now. It's available right now. Lots going on here, Mr. Producer. A lot going on here. And a lot of good stuff going on here. So let's listen to Ron DeSantis. Start from the top. I cut it off. Cut 12. Go.

We are going to work with the legislature on to be on the ballot. We'll begin with an initial raising of the homestead limit to $250,000 for all Florida homesteaders within the legislature commanded to enact a schedule that will lead to the full elimination of the homestead limit. Now, why this is something that I think will be very strong and I think something that will be meaningful, a $250,000 limit. That eliminates property tax for 60% of Florida homeowners. Once you put a schedule in, and this would be something that we'd work with the legislature on after the vote is taken in November if it's successful, when you raise to 500,000 limit, that's 92% of all Florida residents would be tax-free. I think this bottom-up approach... is a better approach. You know, there have been some proposals where, you know, every homestead, they take two-thirds off every homestead or however they do it. And the problem with that just to me is, you know, even someone owns a $200,000 house isn't going to have eliminated. They're still going to be paying property tax. Someone has a $200 million home. What, they're going to get this massive. I'd rather focus on folks who are. new homeowners, young people, seniors on fixed income, you know, our middle class folks. And so this will be really significant. Now, why do it that way? Well, one, you've got to pass it. Two, it's a way to be able to make this a smooth transition. So, ladies and gentlemen, you see the different mindset. One is one of freedom and property rights and opportunity, less government, and the other. is dark and grave and is destructive. I'll be right back.

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 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 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. 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. Hello, America, Mark Levin here, our number, hello, hello, hello. 877 381, 381, 3811. Sean Hannity, how are you, my friend? My brother, the great one. Thank me. God bless us. How am I? What's going on? First of all, we're going to do this podcast. Can I just compliment you? So you did my podcast, and we're going to, we drop it tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Like you can go to hang out with Sean Hannity on YouTube or Spotify or, you know, anywhere you watch your video podcast. And Apple is another place. But. It's like we're just joking around. Cutting up and them talking serious. But I want people to get. I wanted people to see another side of you that I know. And, you know, we'll hear people here this great constitutional scholar, a guy that loves our framers and our founders and our Constitution and, you know, the great philosophers that inspired these people. And you know all of this. More than anyone else that I know, more than anyone, frankly, in the country, probably. And, you know, and you describe a lot of this background, and you go into it in great, great detail. And then we evolve, and I tell a few funny stories about you. And we talk about our friend Rush and how much we miss them. And one funny story about you, me, and Rush having lunch. It was hilarious. Only because you are.

Just was a great time, and then we went out to lunch together. We had a great day. It was fun. It's like the old days, because truth be told, we're just so busy and far apart that it rarely happens. Oh, busy. But it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun, and I think the viewers are going to love it. I mean, it's not like we were really even doing a show. It was just like... You know, although I was trying to bring out of you what I know about you so others could know it about you. Did you succeed? So there was a message to my madness, but, oh, definitely. I never fail, Mark, ever. I'm only kidding. Now you sound like Rush. But, yeah. Mark Levin, the great one, F. Lee Levin and Sean Hannity are nothing. But for me, and there's truth to that, actually. There is truth to that. Yeah. Because he paved the way for all of us. We talk about that. And we miss him deeply. Oh, Mark, I can't believe it's five years. I can't believe it's crazy. Crazy. And we talk about it on the podcast. And I said it then. I think you in your own way said it then. I don't know if you remember. I'll tell a story that we didn't talk about on the year now. And I remember David, his brother, who was just a sweetheart, called me just before Rush announced that he had advanced stage four lung cancer, which when you hear it, if you know anything about cancer, you know it's a death sentence. He just no. And David said, look, I was sworn to secrecy. I wanted to give you a little bit of a heads up. So, because I know you're going on right after my brother. And David spent my age in my entire career as your agent, too. I mean, I don't think it's a secret. And he did it to help me. And I got on the phone with you. And we listened to that together. And we were heartbroken. I'm not going to lie. I mean, I was crying. I was upset. And it was so – and he was so stoic when he said it. I think one of the greatest things is when the president gave him the Medal of Freedom. Love that at the State of the Union. And – That was just a hard, and I remember I looked up at the clock, and it's 305, and I'm on right after he just announced this, and I've got to, like, wipe my eyes clean and, you know, how am I going to, what am I going to say? I didn't know what I was going to say, Mark, and then I kind of, like, took his lead because he said it so stoically, like, he did everything. And I just said, I'm going to follow that example. And what I said at the time of his passing, and nobody can ever replace this guy. No. You know, everyone says, oh, they're all a bunch of Rush Limbaugh want to be. See, I remember being criticized by people saying, you're now a Rush Limbaugh. I'm like, you're right. You got no argument for me. Exactly. I mean, there's only one, there's only one Babe Ruth. There's only one Lou Gehrick. You know, he was one of one.

uh as my friend patrick bet david said one of one nobody else like them is nobody else like you either you know what you do well and we you know if you really want to be successful in our business to me you have to be your authentic self you have to find your own voices there's a great scene in howard stern's movie i don't know if you ever watch private parts of movie do you ever watch it no You need. Just the way you said that. Now, never watched it. But I relate to that. By the way, I'm not a Howard Stern hater. I'm not a Howard Stern hater. I think what he... He was one of the most gifted talented broadcasters ever. I don't know why he went woke. He went woke. He went woke. He went woke. He would love Donald Trump. Yeah. But I thought he was hilarious. yeah he used he did things he was great um i don't like the i don't know what happened to him i just don't um and he doesn't care he's like i don't give a damn what what you think if you think i'm woke or whatever but okay well he everybody that i knew growing up that always listened to him they don't listen to him anymore because they like the old guy better he was much but much the libertarian yeah Yeah, and he was, he was, he's just a great broadcaster, but there's a scene in that movie, and I lived as a radio nomad traveling around the country when I first got into it. and work for no money, little money. I mean, I never thought it'd be successful at anything. I just knew that I loved doing it, and I feel to this, a blessed to be able to do it. But there's a scene where he's starting out in radio, and I don't think you did this, I think in large part because I coached you through it. Yeah, exactly. And I had no coaching, no help, no. But having listened to radio, I thought I had to sound like a radio guy. And, you know, he does this seat. And now a check of our weather, hazy, hot, humid, chance of late afternoon thunderstorms. Right now it's 76 degrees in a big city here on WWW. And that's not Howard Stern. But when he evolved into his natural... personality, his natural self, doing what only he could do and only he could pull off. He was amazing. Remind people about formatics. That time I came to your house, I had these five by seven cards. And you said, you know, Mark, you're great at substance. And I said, but I know how to get in and out. Explain. So the story is, maybe I didn't want to do radio. We'll save it for another one. But here's, okay. So.

I kept pushing you to fill in for me, and you didn't want to do it. And you were reluctant and we're paying the ass about it to be very blunt. And I'm like, Mark, you're natural. You'd be great at it. You were born to do this. Trust me, I know. And he said, well, how do you do that intro thing? I'm like, okay. I wrote down on little blue cards. Hi, I'm Mark Levin, filling in for my friend, Sean Hannity. Here's our toll-free telephone number 1-800-9401, Sean. And then you said to me, I remember I started laughing. You go, then what do I do? Then I said, be you and talk, and just prepare, you know, look at whatever the issues are that you're going to want to talk about. You don't have to script it. But know what you want to talk about, and then let your natural passion take over. Give out the phone number, and then start taking calls. And then sure enough, get off by the phone, you big dope. You know, I don't know where that came from, but that came flying out pretty early on. And then I would say, okay, they're going to tell you, you know, at 20 after the hour to take a break, they'll give you the break sign. You go, okay, I wrote out another card. Okay, guys, we've got to take a break. We're going to come back. When we come back, your phone calls are coming up next. The number is 800, 941. Sean. I'm Mark Levin and for Sean Hannity. Your calls are next. And I wrote it out for you. That was all the teaching I did. I mean, I'd like to take credit for your brilliant brain, but God gets credit for that. You know what's funny. Let me add to this. I once said to Rush, what am I going to do? There's you and there's Sean Hannity. So all the air has been taken out, he said, but nobody's heard from you. From you. He was right. Each of us are different. Mm-hmm. And then he once told me, Sean, I don't know if he ever told you this. He said, you know who you remind me of Flee? He called me Flee all the time. He never called me Mark and private it was Flee, Flee, Flee, F, he called me, Flee. But Flee was Flee Bailey Bailey from the O.J. Sailing trial. Yes. Correct. But he said, you remind me of Joe Pine. I said, Joe Pine? Yeah, great radio pioneer. You know, from L.A. and Bob Grant, WordPress. Why? Because I didn't know anything. He said, you just do look it up. I looked at him and said, Jesus, I'm mind of Joe Pine. Okay. Well, Joe Pine was a great broadcaster. Bob Grant, you and I were best buddies with him. He was a great broadcaster. We learned a lot from him. Yeah, get up my phone. Use the scumbag. He's another great. Oh, my God. But you know, Sean, you're a great. Seriously. You're a huge broad... Let me say it. Don't interrupt. You're a huge broadcaster. Everybody says to me, Sean reminds me of the guy next door. This is important. And I know you personally, nothing has ever gone to your head. You're not arrogant. You don't need to be seen at fancy events. You pretty much keep to yourself. You have a handful of buddies and friends and so forth. You're a family man. You are the guy next door. That's who you are. And that is a great... It's not a role. It is reality. And you work your ass off as well. You work your ass off for radio, for TV. Go ahead. This is very hard for me to listen to compliments about me, to be very honest. It's true. But the only thing I can say to that is this, is that...

I feel like I've lived an undeserved life. We talked about this on the podcast that drops tomorrow at 10 a.m. And more importantly, Mark, if I have any little talent or ability, I can take all the information that is news of the day for my audience, compress it, and even take articles from very smart people, people way smarter than me. and relay the content, the meaning, the insight that people are trying to express to their readers that nobody has time to read anymore anyway, but that's our job to read. And people live very, very busy lives. You know who makes this country great, Mark? Not me. Nobody on the air. The people that make this country great, I will say our president has more courage than, you know, any politician in the last 150 years. But it's the people that work hard every day. The firemen, the policemen, the garbagemen, the nurses, the doctors, the lawyers. They get up. They work hard. They pay their taxes. They play by the rules. They raise their kids. They go to church or synagogue over the weekend. They cook breakfast. They make lunch for their kids for school. They help them study at night. They crash and get up and grind it out the next day again. Those... are the people that's who i identify with that is who where i came from that is never left me and it's never going to leave me if it was going to leave me it would have left me a long time ago And I've never forgotten that part of my life. My parents were much better people than me in my mind. They worked their fingers to the bone. They had very difficult hard lives. They were both, you know, both grew up dirt, poor. All four of my grandparents come from Ireland, dirt, dirt, poor. And I know I stand on their shoulders. Just like I know how great your dad was. I know how great your family was. And I know, you know, they're all looking down from heaven. And, you know, and then there's a big smile on their face because they played the role in our success. And all your listeners right now hearing us right now, you know, the Levinites, as you call them, it's almost like a book in the Bible. And they all have their story to tell. And it's very similar to our story. And I'm going to tell you something. When I was a contractor for 10 years, and I said this to Sage Steel, and I was just on her podcast. And, you know, when I worked in restaurants for 10 years, nobody wanted a selfie. Nobody wanted an autograph. I was lucky to get a paycheck. I was grateful to get a paycheck. And, you know, people ask me every once in a while, well, do you know, do, if they see me take a lot of selfies or something like, no. I'm grateful because I don't have the job that I love but for them. And I've never forgotten that. You've never forgotten that. And, you know, the people that...

are listening to us now, I want them to know how great they are, and how much we appreciate them, how much we know how good things are. If we care a lot about this country, the reason we are all so passionate in fighting for our beliefs, like, for example, on Iran, I don't want our children and grandchildren inheriting a bunch of Islamofascists that chant death to Israel, death to America. with nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that can reach london and paris uh... holding the world hostage and i don't really feel like arguing with stupid people i can't see that so i care about those people their families their children their grandchildren because it's really not about us anymore mark you know our days you know our days are numbered here but we're on god's time all of us everybody listening we're all on god's time And he'll pull us all home one day. We're going to have to go. And I'll be right now. But that said, what I wanted to also mention, Rush was a big supporter of Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. You're a big supporter of Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. I'm a big supporter of Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel. And it is a legitimate, strong, conservative position. Is it not? Quickly, I got 30 seconds. Mark, it is, and I'll tell you right now, the rise of anti-Semitism in this country, the halls of Congress, college campuses on the airways is repulsive to me. That's it. No, you're great. And I have no patience for any of it. So 10 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, you're going to want to watch Sean's podcast on Spotify and YouTube and Apple. We have never done this. Hanging out with Sean Hannity. We look forward to it. God bless you, man. Take care. God bless you, great one. Bye. You too, buddy. We'll be right back. Mark Levin.

I certainly didn't get to everything today, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. We did what we wanted to do, and we did it the way we wanted to do it. And you've got again in Newark, New Jersey, at the DHS Center, where they keep illegal aliens and prepare them for deportation. Once again, the Democrats and their mob showed up, obstructed justice, tried to undermine our immigration laws and law enforcement, which is really outrageous, of course. And pepper spray was used to try and push the crowd back. And this Senator Kim... Says, I got hit with pepper spray. Well, you know what, a-hole, maybe you shouldn't have been there, and your fat face shouldn't have been there, and the governor's fat face shouldn't have been there, and all of you people shouldn't have been there. You're undermining our Constitution and law and order. I'll be right back.

Mark Levin, an unapologetic patriot and unapologetic constitutionalist. You can reach him at 877-381-3811. This show went very quickly. Always thank you for being out there. So as I was saying, New York Post, Zohran Mamdani's East Harlem grocery store site already got $25 million. in New York City taxpayer funds years ago. Now, they're setting stage for a $55 million boondoggle for a grocery store. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's planned to open a $30 million city-owned grocery store in East Harlem, the same for a site that was already approved for a $25 million public upgrade years ago, setting the stage for a bizarre boondoggle. that has even perplexed local business leaders. The Marquetta, the food-focused market between East 111 and East 119th streets under the elevated metro north tracks on Park Avenue, is where Zohran Mamdani last month proposed to open a government-owned supermarket. Just think of that phrase for a second. We've got 7-Elevens. We've got Wawa's. We've got the equivalent all over the place. We've got grocery stores. We've got supermarkets. Government-owned grocery store? Are you kidding me? So, between the $30 million and the $25 million, the total price tag of the market's proposed makeover is a staggering $55 million. And I'm looking at a picture of it now. It's ridiculous. This is what we all mean, those of us who know better. This is why the government should not be running anything. Anything. Pissing away, $55 million. The $30 million is an outrageous number by itself, said Stephen Zagor, adjunct associate professor of food studies at Columbia Business School. You'd expect the doorknobs and the cash registers to be solid gold. And to think there's another 25 million allocated years ago for the rest of it, which is well past its prime, I think they would have to revisit that. But they're not going to. They're ideologues, and it's not their money. Affordability, baby. Affordability. According to the 2017 plan presented by EDC officials to local business execs earlier this month. The Marquetta, the market, could get a playground, a dog park, outdoor setting, a market that will offer fresh produce, grocery items, prepared foods, public seating, in a food hall environment. Gee, I think I got one of those in the neighborhood. Do you, Mr. producer? I don't know about the food hall environment. Do we need a food hall environment? What is this? High School? Zohran Mamdani never mentioned the EDC's pre-existing project when he unveiled his plans for the public grocery stores for the first time last month, said Anthony Pena, president of the National Supermarket Association. City officials have not been transparent and open about anything they're doing, he said. Of course. It's a democracy. Why be transparent and open? This guy's a buffoon.

In one detail that has sparked particular disbelief, the EDC's proposal calls for a parking lot that's outfitted with charging stations for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles tend to be more expensive, so they're catering to a higher income market, the professor said. It sounds like they aren't focused on what they're trying to do in serving East Harlem resident. So electric vehicles are more expensive, electric charging stations. at a grocery store that's really intended for poor people. Again, this is government at work. Remember under Biden, $7, $9 billion for charging stations? What did they build? Seven of them, Mr. Ridicester? I mean, how much more crap are people going to put up with them, believe, from these hucksters? Mayor has allocated 70 million in total for five city-owned stores. 70 million for five. One in each borough. Well, that'll feed a lot of people. One gross a store in each borough. That works out to an average of $10 million each for the remaining four stores, raising even more questions about why the city wants to shell out so much cash for the East Harlem location. Totaling $55 million. Somebody's getting rich. Probably Zohran Mamdani's buddies. On May 18, Zohran Mamdani announced plans to build a public grocery store in the Bronx. 20,000 square foot facility in Hunts Point that will open next year will be part of a residential development wherever.

A 9,000 square foot grocery store in Manhattan would typically cost a third of what Zohran Mamdani is proposing, executives say, sparking further consternation about, because he knows nothing. He's an ideologue. It's not his money. It's, quote-unquote, government money. They're going to pay through the nose, and in the end, it's not going to work. Anybody want him to take a bet? They're going to spend $10 million on a 20,000 square foot store and $30 million on a 9,000 square foot store, the professor said. This is a massive disconnect right now, and there are more questions and answers. In response to a query, that's right, a query by the Post, the Economic Development Corporation confirmed 30 million more. Zohran Mamdani has proposed for the store. The agency's years hold 25 million revamp are separate investments. No, they're not. They said the $30 million will be used for ground up construction and fit out of the public grocery store, as well the back of the house needs and parking with EV charging capability. None of the $25 million will be used for the market's public growth. Okay, this is all BS speak. The project has been on hold for years due to the pandemic when non-essential projects were suspended. And this is just a beginning. Meanwhile, other tenants at La Marquetta are also in the dark about the city's plans for the historic site, which originally was open in 1936 by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia as a venue for push card vendors. We're going backwards. We're going backwards. The center was moved in 2023. Okay, whatever. You get the point? Lunatic. Can you imagine government run health care, government run grocery stores, government run whatever they want? Can you imagine? Paid for by whom? I don't know. Let me tell you a little secret, New York. Your taxes are going to go even higher through the roof. The productive element in your community is going to leave. Jobs are going to dry up. And the city of New York is going to be hollowed out with illegal aliens and Islamists and five days of prayer, five times a day of prayer. It's what you're going to get. In other words, you're going to get the third world. You're going to get the third world. And then you're going to get more homeless people in the streets, more defecation in the streets. I see it now, I'm telling you. This is American Marxism. This is the way it works or doesn't work. I'll be right back. Mark Levin. Yeah, you're going to love the... Yeah, you're going to love the, uh, hanging out with Sean Hannity, 10 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow drops the podcast, and you'll be able to see it on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube. It goes on for quite a while. We joke around. We talk about the past. We talk about current issues and so forth. He and I have tremendous chemistry. We really are like brothers. That's not just a statement. We've been through a lot. We've done a lot together over, I think, 30 years, maybe 35 years. Long time. Long time. And time goes fast. And the older you get, the faster it goes, right?

I guess with Sean, I mean, the Rush could have been sitting there with us too, but there you go. Have you noticed all these Marxists, socialists, are very, very wealthy? Here we have center square.com. Investigation, Santa's anti-Oligarchy tour spent $608,000 on elite travel. This guy goes first class. Private jets, chaufford cars. All communist leaders do. While Democratic Socialists rails against billionaire, he spends big on private jets, chauffered cars, and upscale hotels the Center Square finds. I bet you didn't see this on TV, did you? Over at MS. Later. Or the Constipated News Network or any of the networks. Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-described Democratic Socialist, has spent nearly $608,000 on private jets, chauffeur cars, and upscale hotels since last year through his campaign fund and investigation by the Center Square found. Bernie Sanders is barnstorming the country on his fighting oligarchy tour. A series of rallies aimed at opposing President Trump and supporting economic populism, aka socialism. To defray its costs, he's raising and spending money through his principal campaign committee. Friends of Bernie Sanders, does he have any? Even as Bernie Sanders rails against billionaires, political clout, and economic inequality, his committee has relied on elite trappings more commonly associated with the wealthy.

The Senate Square examined Friends of Bernie Sanders' filings with the FEC from the start of the tour in January 2025 through March, a 15-month stretch, when Bernie Sanders was the featured speaker at 32 rallies at cities, University Camp Eye, and small towns around the country. More than half a dozen other members of Congress, including AHA, have also spoken at the rallies. To travel, the committee paid $562,000 for 11 private jet trips, almost 17,000 for a chauffeur car or limousine service 11 times. For lodging, it paid almost $30,000 to stay at four-star hotels 15 times. You believe this? Paul Dane, chairman of the Vermont Republican Party, said Bernie Sanders is out of touch with ordinary state citizens. Yeah. He's a hypocrite. He's a fraud. He's a buffoon. These people are really bastards, and they're going to destroy our country if we let them. Cholera. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, ICE. Our trucker brothers and sisters, the men and women in Israel, the men and women in Ukraine, the men and women in Persia. And you, the American people, the great American people, God bless you. Thanks for listening. 10 a.m. tomorrow, Eastern Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s podcast.
