4/14/26 - The Blockade: President Trump's Bold Move in Hormuz

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-discreet building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

Thank you. We're gonna. hello america Mark Levin here are number eight seven seven three eight one three eight one eight seven three eight one eight one one lots happening some good most crazy some good most crazy now the straits hormones are blockaded by the United States Navy. This is very, very good and very, very important. But I want to remind you of something. Under Reagan, we had a 600-ship Navy. Today, it's well under 300. And that's what happens. That's what happens when our military is not properly supported. And for the most part, that's the responsibility of the Democrats. They've done most of this, and I'm not kidding. and radical libertarians like Rand Paul and Thomas Macy, or is it Thomas Massie? And now they woke right neo-fascists, the Marxist Islamists. I'll wait to hear some of these Islamists today. It's unbelievable. And they're in our country. One of them is a mayor in New Jersey, in Patterson, New Jersey. Another one's the imam in Dearbornistan, Michigan. Let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen. It is here. It is here. I'm talking about these jihadi Islamists. They are here. They are on our media. They are podcasters. They are commentators. They are here. And one of them, this guy, Hasan Piker, who's encouraged the murder of Senator Rick Scott of Florida, as I understand it. who has celebrated 9-11, who said Hamas is a thousand times better than Israel, who says he has no, zero patriotic, patriotic feelings for the United States of America. He's one of these birthright citizenship types. He was born here, then in a young age, taken back to Turkey, which is where his parents are from. indoctrinated there, then brought back to the United States, and here he is. And you watch the Supreme Court screw us royally on this birthright citizenship. Now, don't get me wrong. I've made the case better than anybody else or more often than anybody else on this issue. So hopefully they're listening. Perhaps they're not. But regardless, the right decision is there's no such thing unless Congress says there is, and they haven't. Now.

That aside for now. The president has blockaded the straits. Now, why has he done that? Because he really turned the tables on Iran. Iran was taking tolls that is a fee for any country it decided could come through the straits with their tankers. Those are international waters. There are literally eight countries along the shore. of those navigable waters. 20% of all the oil in the world goes through those waters. And by the way, this should give a red flag or a white flag, any flag, to anybody out there who understands what the communist Chinese are doing in the South China Sea. They've built 10 or 12 phony islands. No, excuse me, five or six phony islands. They've militarized them. And now they claim control over the South China Sea. Five trillion dollars in economic activity takes place in the South China Sea. President Trump knows this. Despite the damnable media, despite the damnable Democrats, the moronic rhino Republicans, Trump sees it. So what is he doing? Venezuela, we control the oil. He sees the straits of her moves. And he's saying, you know what? That's even openly flows or will control the oil. And ultimately, I think his objective is not just Iran, which is crucial, but China. But China as well. Now, if the Democrats had their way and the media had their way and all the other reprobates and surrogates had their way, we know damn well that Iran would get a nuclear weapon, just like North Korea did. It's not rocket scientists, so to speak. We all know it. Then they'd have the power to blackmail us and blackmail everybody else and to control the straits with communist China. And China would control the South China Sea. And if Trump didn't take out Maduro in Venezuela, they control the oil for Venezuela. So Trump sees that. He deals with it. He sees Iran. He deals with it. He also sees that Russia and China are militarizing the Arctic. And so he talks about Greenland. Now the woke, Reich, neo-fascist isolationists who are absolutely lunatics and have obviously sold out to the enemy, either ideologically or grifting. But it doesn't matter. They're thrown in with the enemy. They're now attacking Christians. They're attacking Christ. They're attacking Jews. And they're now trying to promote Islamism.

That's correct. And it's not just Tucker Carlson. It's Steve Bannon. It's Kelly. Lesser lights with smaller audiences joining in, chiming in. And that's what's going on out there. But they're unraveling, too. So that's a good thing. And the president has excommunicated them from MAGA. They're not conservatives. They're not constitutionalists. They're not MAGA. They never were. They were never conservatives. And now they want to destroy the Republican Party. Really? If they destroy the Republican Party, who wins? Obviously, the Democrats. The president knows what he's doing. There's stories out there that said that there's some discussion about a 20-year period of time where the Iranians would not be able to enrich uranium after they gave up the enriched uranium weapons grade that they have. Well, apparently, I guess one or two or three, the negotiators threw that out there because the president has made it pretty clear, at least in a New York Post interview. that he doesn't like that idea i certainly don't like it do you i mean that's kind of the obama plan they would have had nuclear weapons in 15 years 20 years no no we can't push this off and the president has made it clear no nuclear weapons period except in 20 years no he didn't say that and he hasn't said that He's the most solid of the bunch. You know, that's amazing to me. Of all the advisors and everything, he's the most solid of the bunch. He's the most clear-eyed of everybody. Which is why they hate him and attack him. Hate him and attack him. But there's so much going on here. We have the ambassador to the United States from Israel, lighter. My family and I know quite well, and this poor man lost his eldest son in one of the first battles after October 7 in Gaza. His son was the commander of a unit. They were trying to clear out a building. It was booby-trapped. It blew up. He and two or three of his soldiers died. They were crushed.

You hear some of these phony podcasters say, well, you know, if the elitist had people in the military, well, over there, they all have sons and daughters in the military. It doesn't matter what position you're in. The prime minister was a commando and injured in the shoulder. And his older brother was killed at Anteby. You may recall the movie Anteby. Uganda where they had this miraculous rescue of these kidnapped Jews off the airline and they went in there and they're what most people thought the impossible and his brother who was the commander of that unit was the last one moving toward the plane and he died from a sniper's bullet They hate Benjamin Netanyahu for the same reason they hate Trump. These are two of the greatest leaders we've ever seen. Benjamin Netanyahu is the greatest leader in the history of Israel, and Donald Trump is one of our greatest leaders, and I don't care what anybody else says. That's the truth. And what he's doing there. So anyway, the ambassador to the United States lighter, and the ambassador from Lebanon met today at the State Department. And our great Secretary of State was there, Marco Rubio, and some others. And you see, the Lebanese government doesn't want Hezbollah. The president there doesn't want Hezbollah. But they're not strong enough to force them out until now. If Israel has taken, decapitated them three layers down and is pounding the crap out of these terrorists who've killed 241 of our Marines and soldiers and sailors. But we're involved in blowing up two of our embassies as a surrogate to Iran. And the other day they shot 6,000 missiles in the northern Israel. And Israel said, we're not putting up with this. We're a nation of 9.5 million, 9 to 10 million people. And we have to depopulate northern Israel as a result of this. And we're not doing it anymore.

And so Israel and the government of Lebanon, the army there is very weak. And the government of Lebanon both agreed today that they need to figure out how to disarm Hezbollah. Now, the government there can't quite figure it out. So Israel's doing it through military might, through their warriors. And as the Secretary of State said, this is a process. And he's right about that. But under Trump, we had the Abraham Accords, under Trump. We now have the Arab countries in Israel and the United States on the same side against Iran. Under Trump, we now have Israel and the government of Lebanon speaking under Benjamin Netanyahu. Same thing. And so they want to destroy Benjamin Netanyahu, the left in Israel and the left in our country. And, of course, in our country, they want to destroy Trump. What a sin. What a disgusting display. I don't focus on, ooh, he sent out a picture of this, or he did that, or did he raise his hand this way, or did he say that? I don't care. I really don't care. The man's a man of action. That's what he is. And he's under attack. And the Pope has been attacking him in our policies in terms of securing the border and our policies in the Middle East. And Christians are being slaughtered all over the world by these jihadi Islamists. In Syria, in Africa, in other places. And all the talk is about this picture, this AI graphic or whatever the hell it was. Now, you don't have to like it. It's okay. I get it. I really do get it. But step back and look at what we're dealing with here. People are losing their lives. And it would help. If church figures all over the world would speak out, as well as leaders of other faiths, whatever faith they are, my faith, any faith. But they're not. And the only two world leaders that are trying to do something about it, Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump. That's the truth. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on that. I'm just not. Lots more when I return. We'll be right back. Mark Levin. Gold just had its biggest years since 1979, up 67%. 53 new all-time highs, then blew past $5,500 in January. Right now, almost every major bank on Wall Street. They're telling their clients this is the buy window before gold hits $6,000, even $8,000. Meanwhile, silver is sitting on a structural supply deficit for the six straight year, meaning there's not enough silver for industrial use. Many central banks in China, Poland, Brazil, India are buying gold at record prices. Now's the time to diversify, ladies and gentlemen, with silver and gold. Call monetary gold today.

Here is ambassador to the United States Michael Leiter today in D.C. Cut five, go. I was honored to sit around negotiating table with his excellency, Michelle Issa, United States ambassador to Lebanon, and to her excellency, Nadal Hamadi, the Lebanese ambassador to Washington. We discovered today... that were on the same side of the equation. That's the most positive thing we could have come away with. We are both united in liberating Lebanon from an occupation power dominated by Iran called Hezbollah. Lebanon is under their occupation, and we are suffering from their... constant barrages of missiles and terror attacks trying to cross our border and they're not going to put up with it no matter what the left says in this country oh Israel's attacking Lebanon Israel is not attacking Lebanon Israel is attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Lebanese government couldn't be more thankful and the Lebanese people for the most part could not be more thankful Lebanon's about 35, 40% Christian. It was a majority Christian nation before Iran set its sights on it, assassinated the Christian president of Lebanon, and now Lebanon is a majority Muslim, and Hezbollah has been running the country with the government trying to conduct itself as a government, but constantly trumped by Hezbollah. That is a hole that has weakened significantly as a result of Benjamin Netanyahu and what he has done and his military have done. We've done virtually nothing in Lebanon. Nobody else has either. And rather than the world praising the Israelis for what they're doing in Lebanon, people on the ground in Lebanon who are Christian and some Muslims too who've had enough of Hezbollah and the terrorism and all the rest. They say Israel's attacking Lebanon. You hear this from the woke right, neo-fascists. You hear this from the likes of a Rolkanah. You hear this from the likes of a Bernie Sanders. These are disgusting people. Frauds, phonies, and finks. We'll be right back.

Silver is now in its sixth consecutive year of structural supply deficit, meaning demand is outpacing supply of silver every single year. Solar energy alone is projected to consume 160 to 194 million ounces of silver this year because silver is irreplaceable in solar cell technology. And the world is using more and more silver. There's no substitute. Folks, silver is currently trading at a great price, $71 to $80 per ounce. earlier this year. That's the zigzag I talk about, but the trajectory is up, meaning the industrial demand story hasn't even fully played out yet. Call monetary gold today. Get your complimentary gold and silver guide.

All right, we're going to have our buddy Josh Hammer on the program. He has a fantastic podcast, brilliant writer. He'll be on with us. I think tomorrow I'm on with Dan Bongino. I think I'll be on with Hammer next week, trying to work everything out. And we appreciate it. We love our... There's certain podcasters that are really good. And if I'm on their show, you know I think they're great. Because otherwise, I don't waste my time. Just being honest with you. All right, ladies and gentlemen, so much to cover. So we'll keep moving here. One of the people who is very clear-eyed about what's going on with Iran and in the Middle East for the most part is Van Jay Jones. That's right. I said it, Van Jay Jones. on CNN and he put out a video today and we're only going to play a little bit of it on on Twitter on X cut seven go why are these authoritarian dictatorial governments spending so much time and so much money making sure they can cut off the people's internet in an instant Because it is the most important part of the information war to control what people see, what they know and what they understand. And it's even more important to make sure that the entire world is being controlled by what these governments want people to see and understand. Absolutely right. And so we're not seeing the extent of the butchery that's going on. We're getting a little bits and pieces of it. But it is going on as I speak. In the way some of these monsters over there look at it is, let me kill as many people as I can in the window that we still have. My view is, from our perspective, stay the course. Stay the course. Keep the straits closed. Keep choking them off. There's a report here from, I think it's Channel 14 in Israel.

Where when these negotiators came back, the president of Iran, who's not part of the military, he is what he is, though, went absolutely berserk, at the top of his lungs yelling at them, yelling at the negotiators, yelling at the heads of the military, such as it is, saying that the country is dying, that economically it's dying, that they've nowhere to go, that they should have made some kind of deal. And my view, and I give it to the whole world, I give it to all of you. Keep on the economic pressure. The ceasefire ends. There were two or three weeks left of targeted bombing areas that our government and the Israeli government together wanted to hit. Go ahead and take care of it. And don't take your foot off the throat of that regime. Because it may well collapse of its own weight. That's my view. Another two, three, four weeks. But we have an enemy within. We have the Marxist Islamists, the Democrat Party, the woke right neo-fascists. They want us to lose. Because they hate Trump. They want to blame Trump. They want us to lose. So they can use it during the midterms. That's what it's all about. They'd rather Trump, Trump, lose the midterms, the Republicans, than the people of Iran be free. And we know this from Thomas Friedman. He's won about 7,000 Pulitzer prizes that shows you what they're worth. And he said that in a podcast interview essentially. You can find it on the Internet. That he hates Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu so much that he's not even sure who to root for. Do you believe that, Mr. Producer? That's pretty sick. But that's really what the Democrats believe. That's what they think. It is. And, of course, we've been in any within. And you're going to hear from some of them. We've got a few fresh... meaning new of these comments from these jihadi Islamists that I want you to hear about very, very important. Also, we want to see if we can have time to get to Zohran Mamdani with his idiotic actions and statements. He's the future of the party, don't you know? Oh, don't you know? Oh, yes, he is.

Well, let's get there. Here we have the mayor of Patterson, New Jersey. His name is Andrew Sayag, or whatever the hell it is, Yavada. And I want you to listen to what he says, marking the beginning of Ramadan on February 28th. It's only come out now. I want to thank our friends at memory again, M-E-M-R-I-D-org. bookmark it folks check it out on a daily basis it's a crucially important site so here is the the islamist mayor of patterson new jersey not unlike the islamist mayor of dearbornistan michigan and on and on as one town and city is conquered after another Not populated by a diverse population. I'm saying conquered. Concord based on what they say. Well, listen to what this guy says. Cut three, go. Patterson is probably one of the few municipalities. where you have not one, not two, but three Muslim city council members as a part of our governing body. Patterson is the capital of Palestine in the United States of America. All right. Stop right there. Got that? Patterson is the capital of Palestine in the United States of America. Patterson, New Jersey. And the Democrats make all this possible with their immigration policies or lack thereof, with their lack of deportation, with their pursuit of people who they know won't assimilate into our system from the Middle East and elsewhere, Southeast Asia, to bring them into the country, to let them into the country legally and illegally, even though you're not supposed to be able to become a part of the United States, let alone a citizen. if your allegiance isn't to the United States, and if you're not willing to be assimilated into the American culture. But here they are. About the hundreds of thousands. Go ahead. Patterson, as stated before, is the fourth holiest city in the world. Jerusalem, Mecca, Medina, and then Patterson, New Jersey. You got that? Patterson, New Jersey. He's saying for Muslims is the fourth most important city in the world. Patterson. He doesn't mean by population. He means by ideology. That's what he means. Go ahead. And I also want to say that we are proud that we can come together as a community to light this hell out. Yeah, that's the mayor. Great guy, no doubt. Crazy. And this is happening all over our country. We're having towns and cities that are now being taken over. Now, it's not that the Muslim population is massive in America, even though it's getting big and getting big fast. It's that the folks congregate into these areas and into these towns. Like they're congregating in Plano, Texas, or they're congregating in Tampa, Florida, and other locations around the country.

And you see, again, in this area outside of Plano, and that's just one place. There's many. They create these segregated communities. Sharia law, either openly or under the radar, controls. And it's a huge problem. A huge problem. Now... Listen to the opposite of this. The deputy prime minister of the Czech Republic, which is now a great country since it broke off from the Soviet Union and broke off from Slovenia, or Slovakia, I should say. This is Peter Masek, cut six, go. It's a civilized country surrounded by uncivilized enemies. as I was writing about those air-conditioned offices. So that's the problem. That's the problem. They don't know what Israel is facing. They don't understand that. As I used a small joke today that these people are, as they come to the cannibal village, village of the cannibals, and they say, we love you because we feel the human rights. And the cannibals, they say, well, we love you too. Bonapetit. So this is something that they are judging Israel because they are trying to look at Israel with their liberal, democratic, human rightist eyes. What he's trying to say, and I'll say it a little bit differently, what he's trying to say is the mindset of the Islamist is totally different from the Western world. And if you've been listening to this program for any period of time, you know we've talked about this at length. If you've read my book on Power, you know, I wrote about that at length. If you watch my show on Fox, you know, I've talked about that at length. It's a completely different mindset. And they tell you it's a different mindset. A completely different mindset.

In fact, I don't know if I sent it to you, Rich, the imam in Dearborn, Michigan. Did I send that to you or no? There's an email. You can go home to memory and get it, memory.org. He's an emam speaking very fluent English, dressed to the T's with the garb that emoms wear, speaking out about how we have to canker Christianity. How can you dare make peace with Christianity? How can we live with Christianity? How can we... We don't believe in this diversity where we embrace different viewpoints and so forth. And he starts trashing Jesus in Dearborn, Michigan. That's what this deputy prime minister is saying or trying to articulate in English. That people live in these... ivory towers, nice and air condition during the summer, you know, theoretical. They don't have to deal with this on a day-to-day basis, but this tiny little country of Israel is surrounded. Tiny little westernized country, Israel, democracy, surrounded by these countries. And they're attacked by the Democrats? by the Marxists, by the Islamists, by the modern-day Klansmen, the modern-day neo-Nazis, that would be the woke Reich, R-E-I-C-H. These people, this woke right, they might as well be wearing Klansman white sheets. They might as well be wearing their Nazi uniforms, the way they talk, the way they act, what they say. They're spewing lies. trying to create hysteria and fearmonger we've seen all this before all you have to do is read a few books look at a few black and white movies in the 1930s and 40s we've seen all this before we've heard about all this before well here it is here it is i'll be right back

I'd like to tell you about a man named Phineas, who as a child survived the Holocaust. Phineas survived because Christians hid him from the Nazis, risking everything to save his life. Today's in his 80s. He can no longer stand on his own or leave his home to receive medical care. And when sirens sound and missiles fall, he doesn't have time or strength to reach safety. But once again, Christians are helping save his life. Through the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, a mobile clinic brings doctors and medicine right to his home, providing care he wouldn't receive especially in wartime. Christians saved my life during the Holocaust, Phineas says, and now again they're helping me. As Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day approaches, we honor survivors like Phineas, not just with words, but with action. Please give $45 a tax-ded deductible gift right now to the international fellowship of Christians and Jews to rush life-saving essentials to the most vulnerable under fire in the Holy Land. Call 8885-I-F-C-J. That's 8888-585. I-F-C-J or online at Levin for thefellowship.org. That's L-E-V-I-N for the fellowship.org. I assume this is accurate. Just as a side note, it's not priority or essential news, but since you guys have been following a lot of this, you heard of this site Mediite I've told you about, Dan Abrams started. He pretends to be a newsman, but he's more of a Jerry Springer type, except less honest. And he is a habit of gluing squirrels to his head because he's bald as a cue ball, which is fine. I am too, but I don't pretend otherwise he does. So he hires this guy, Colby Hall, to be the editor-in-chief. He's the founding editor-in-chief. This guy's been writing very vile things, and I've been responding to him and so forth. And now Oliver Darcy reports Scoop. This was just sent to me. I was told it's accurate. Mediite has suspended its founding editor, Kobe Hall. After a series of instances, we raised, he writes, about significant errors and outright fabrications in his work, Full Story and Status. News Tonight, whatever that is. Then that is retweeted by apparently Brian Stelter. Oliver Darcy reports that Mediite has suspended its founding editor, Kobe Hall, after a series of instances we raised about significant errors in outright fabrications in his work. Now, assuming this is accurate, and I'm told it is, now we know why that website has sucked so badly. Now we know why. Now we know why. In fact... It's just an attack machine against Trump, against Fox, against conservatives. And they keep promoting these woke right neo-fascists in order, I think, to destroy the Republican Party in the conservative movement. So folks, stick with me. I'm a straight shooter. My principles don't change. I discuss everything with you. I explain why I believe what I believe. And if I'm dealing with an individual for a few days...

It's not a waste of time. There's a reason for it. There's a reason for it. Now, unless I hear otherwise, that is factual information that was provided to me, and it is on the internet. So, of course, it has to be true, Mr. But we have these individuals who promoted it. We'll see. We'll see if it's accurate. Let's do it this way. Mr. producer, would you send an email to Mr. Hall? Do you have his email? I think you do. And ask him if this report by Oliver Darcy and Brian Stelter is accurate, that he has been suspended for misconduct. He won't come on the show, and if he says it's not accurate, I will tell you that, folks. If he doesn't reply, I will tell you that. I will tell you whatever he says. I'll be right back.

Now, broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-discreet building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America, Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-381-817-381. 3811 let's see here you got a lot to do so I can't spend a lot of time on this but this media I'd most of you outside the country outside of wash had never heard of this thing but it was started by Dan Abrams it is a real moneymaker for him. They don't actually produce anything original or not much anyway. And so they take clips from Fox or some other network or statements from radio or Media Matters, which is, of course, a Soros-founded operation and regurgitated. Constantly with hysterical and sensational headlines, constantly trashing Donald Trump, Fox, Fox hosts. picking fights with people, constantly promoting Tucker Carlson, promoting Megyn Kelly, promoting Steve Bannon because they want to destroy the Republican Party and the conservative movement and undermine the Trump presidency, that sort of thing. So it's very poisonous and vile, and it's run by this guy, Kobe Hall. the founding editor, and he reports to Dan Abrams, who's an ABC news analyst, which he shouldn't be, because he's not a news guy, he's got his own TV program, and he makes a fortune off these sort of Jerry Springer-type cable legal shows. And I feel bad for Jerry Springer because he actually wasn't accomplished lawyer, and he had been a mayor at some point, and of course, Dan Abrams hasn't accomplished anything about figuring out how to make money off the backs of other people.

This guy, Colby, he doesn't like Trump. He doesn't like what we're doing in Iran. And, of course, he doesn't like one of the leading people articulating why what we're doing in Iran is so important. And so he gets really nasty and all, and we're kind of duking it out. But he, like others, he's obsessed with genitalia. These people are obsessed with genitalia. Now, they shouldn't be obsessed with genitalia, especially if you're female, and we can see some of you, some of you, and you're using the word micro, that doesn't seem to be very smart, but it's okay, it's okay. Karma's hell. And so, let me pull it up here, semaphore. which is a real news outlet. They've done a story on this. Because again, it's important in the sense that this is an aggregation site. This is owned by or founded by a guy who's still an ABC news analyst and has his own TV show and they get away with murder. Mediite's founding editor, I just posted, Microexpert and Eric Swalwell lookalike, Colby Hall has reportedly been suspended for alleged, unquote, completely unacceptable errors, unquote. It appears Mediite has lost confidence in him. Now, Mr. Producer has actually emailed Hall for confirmation. So far, no response. Now, semaphore that broke this story, they wrote, and this is all today, a series of mishaps. At the media newsletter, one sheet, including misattributed information. It's tiny font. I'm doing the best I can. Misattributed information and make-up quote. Make-up quotes? That's not a mishap. Has raised questions about whether it's use of AI to aggregate news is leading to hallucinations. That's good. He's mocking these people. He's mocking them. Now they're going to hide behind AI. The media news site, Media, I built one sheet to aggregate. That's all they do. The growing list of media newsletters. For $8 a month, the newsletter adds commentary from author Kobe Hall. and promises cost savings for media super users, who may be spending around $15 a month per subscription for media newsletters from punk, status, breaker, and others that none of us ever heard of. But in the four months since its launch, Mediite's newsletter has grown increasingly error-prone and has included a number of fake quotes and information attributed to different outlets and authors. In an email to Semaphore, Hall told Semaphore that while he uses AI in a limited way, all written ideas, angles, summaries, takes, and editorial arguments are mine, quote unquote. Now, he said the mistakes, hold on here, were the result of problems with his production process. Mr. Producer, if you're either making up quotes or attributing them to somebody else, what does that have to do with the production process?

What does it have to do with AI? Hall said he has a spreadsheet populated with dozens of newsletters organizing the sheet with columns for source, writer, topic, angle, summary, and takeaway. He said his recent errors originated in the data entry process. Like many editors, I use AI in a limited way as part of my editorial workflow, primarily as a copy and organization. He's full of crap. Unfortunately, we've made mistakes that are easy to jump on. I'm committed to ensuring that mistakes like this don't happen again. But if they do, we'll honor those with corrections. No, no, no. You've been suspended. It's good you're suspended. There needs to be more action like this against individuals who abuse their authority, abuse their positions. And this guy's a hip man. He's a smear merchant. He's a character assassin, in my humble opinion. He's a yellow journalist without the journalist. And I think anybody who's had a quote attributed to them that never said it should sue him. I'm not kidding. And sue the whole entity. That's the only way they learn. It's the only way. And Dan Abrams too. He should know better. He should know better that this guy was out of control. That this guy's just sleezing around, sleezing people. You know, ladies and gentlemen, part of the problem we have in this country are the media. And now we have these media aggregation sites. Some are legit, but some of them are even worse than the original media sources. The drudge report now is a disgrace. Mediaite has been a disgrace for a long time, and this guy's been running it for most of the time. And there are others. Media matters in the back pocket of the Democrats. Founded with money from George Soros, among others. It's true. So Kobe Hall has been exposed as a micro, as a mental midget, in my humble opinion, of course. We've sent him an email. We'll see if he responds again. For the 5,000th time, I want to invite him on the radio show, especially now, so we can discuss this. So he can prove his innocence. I want to give him an opportunity.

But this is what's going on in part in Washington, D.C. So when you see them at the correspondence dinner, all there with their tuxedos and their fancy dresses and their hairdos and their toupees, all dressed like penguins and the other ones dressed like, I don't know, like queens and princesses, laughing it up, trash and Trump, just having a great time, just know. That room's filled with sleaze balls. And that's why you have a case like Eric Swalwell, where the media covered up for Eric Swalwell. Let's be blunt. The media covered up for this accused, I say accused rapist. They covered it up. The idea that they didn't know. Some of the media are even writing about the media. It was... A well-known secret. Well, if it's well-known, it's not a secret. There was a whisper campaign. Why was there a whisper campaign? The guy wanted to be president of the United States. The guy wanted to be governor of our biggest state. The guy spent his career trying to destroy Donald Trump. Wasn't it relevant to know all this information? So then they act. And when do they act? When does CNN act? When does the San Francisco Chronicle Act? Before the Democrat and Republican primary, before the jungle primary system, to put it plainly, the two highest vote getters wind up running against each other in a general election. And they send up this jungle system in a Democrat party state. because they assumed the two top vote getters will be Democrats, but they had a problem. You know what they did, Mr. Producer? Too many Democrat candidates were dividing the vote. So Steve Hilton was at the top. And the former Republican sheriff of one of the counties, he was number two. And all of a sudden this information comes out before the voters vote, even in early voting. Then they go about, well, he had a Brazilian housekeeper, he didn't pay her, and then we got New York investigating, and we got the FBI investigation, and he should be. He should be. He's disgusting. Like that guy, Gonzalez, Mr. Badozer, didn't I say on the air get rid of that guy? Get rid of that guy! He had an affair with Stamford, maybe more, and a Stamford killed herself. Get rid of that trash! I'll be right back. Much love in.

You know, folks, I've been working with Pure Talk for six years now. Boy, time flies. I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values. Pure Talk is a veteran-led company, so helping veterans is their North Star. Now, they've donated over half a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, a fantastic organization that is on the front lines of helping to prevent veteran suicide. and Pure Talks creating American jobs with a U.S. only workforce. Sure to be a lot cheaper to send jobs overseas like other companies do, but they're committed to delivering the best experience possible for their customers here in the United States. And yes, I love Pure Talk service. They give you the same tower, same network, same 5G coverage, is one of the big guys, but for a fraction of the price. And I choose to do business with a company that shares my values, your value, helping support veterans every single day in creating American jobs. How about you? Go to puretalk.com slash Levim to switch to pure talk. That's puretalk.com slash L-E-V-I-N to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, Pure Talk. One of my good friends, Josh Hammer, with us. The Josh Hammer Show is really a blockbuster podcast. He's really good, smart, substantive. How are you, my friend? Mark, I'm doing just great. I hope that you had a wonderful pass over, and it's wonderful to join you again. I'm still eating the matzo. What are you talking about? It's great. Thank you.

First of all, this breaking story about this website, Mediaite and Kobe Hall has been suspended, misattributions of quotes and all these other things going on, and he blames AI and his data sheet and the way he processes. There's so many sleazy people out there, aren't there? You know, I actually hadn't even known that. This is actually a bit of a breaking news to me as well. It's broke today, like an hour ago. Wow. So, look, I mean, richly deserved. I mean, Colby Hall is someone who is deeply unethical. He has come at you in wildly unhinged terms. So, you know, Mediide is one of a number of sites that has this problem. Mediaide in general, I think, needs to figure out. who the heck they are and who the heck that they are trying to serve. They have maybe one or two decent writers in the rotation, but the rest of them are basically just trying to... to seemingly pull a media matters for America in the year 2026. And there's a lot of people out there, Mark, that are in this industry, not for the pursuit of truth, that are not in there for principles or to do the right thing. They're in there ultimately just to tar and feather others and to sow discord and to basically just try to make people angry and rile up tensions. And it's a mess. It's really a mess. And frankly, all that, I think, shines a broader spotlight. And while we have the need for more true tellers, like yourself and you as well and some others uh but let's look at the podcast world too um Honestly, I look at the woke right, what I call R-I-C-H neo-fascist because that's what they sound like to me. They're not conservatives. They're not constitutionalists. They're not MAGA. They never have been and never will be. And you look at the background of some of these people, Josh Hammer. You look at Tucker Carlson. He's been in broadcasting or writing his entire life, which is fine. But he's never actually accomplished anything or done anything. And you look at Megyn Kelly. She's had, what, five, six different types of careers and none of them really went well. Or you look at this guy Nick Fuentes. Basically, you know, he's a basement dwelling individual who doesn't know history or anything, and he's out there. And then you look at some of these phony comics. And I think to myself, what exactly is it that they have to offer? They said something profound. Have they written something interesting? Do they have something compelling to say about the future, about our politics, about our culture? It's just weird, don't you think? You know, Mark, here's how I view it. Look, like you, I am a lawyer by backgrounds. You know, I worked in a major law for my clerks and a federal court of appeals. If I wanted a career that was simply just trying to maximize my bottom line, I would have stayed in that vocation. And I'm sure that you would have, too. Other people are mutual pal Ben Shapiro. I mean, we had other options.

And the point I'm making is that the reason that folks like me and you and some others are in this space is because we actually care. Like I know it's shocking to some people these days, but I actually really care about my country. I really earnestly, deeply care about my country, about my civilization, and about saving and salvaging from my enemies. And I say all that to preface my next point, which is that there are a whole host of people that just don't give a rat's behind about any of what I just said. They don't care about America. They don't care about the West. They don't care about Judeo-Christian biblical principles. They don't care about the rule of law, about national sovereignty about any of this. All they care about is maximizing clicks. All they care about is maximizing downloads. All they care about is seeing who can drop the most F-bombs on air. That's Megyn Kelly. the most outlandish things sometimes that i mean that's a lot of them frankly but they they have a fundamentally different sets of motivating factors and this incentive structure and motivating factors do not redound to to the interests of the conservative movement they do not redound to the interest ultimately of the united states itself But they're ultimately in it for themselves. That's really the bottom line point. They are in it fundamentally for the most selfish reasons of all, which is not to be selfless or altruistic and to care about something greater than yourself. They're in it purely exclusively for themselves, for their own clicks, further own podcast ratings or however other rankings or metrics you care about there. And my message and your message is pretty consistent, I think, which is you should not listen to these people. You should not give them. the time of day you should find other sources for your other information people who are in it for the right reasons praise me to god there still are some some good people in this broader industry the broadcasting podcasting radio television etc space there They are somewhat fewer and far between. They were perhaps as recently as five years ago, but they absolutely do still exist. And the good thing, Mark, the good thing is that the polling consistently shows that Republican voters, American people, they're on our side. So, for instance, there was this recent poll that I saw that basically said, who are you with? Are you with Donald J. Trump? Or are you with Tucker Carlson? and Megyn Kelly when it comes to Operation Epic Fury and the war against the Iranian regime. And by something like an 85 to 5 margin, there's a poll from jail partners a few weeks ago. By an 85 to 5 margin, give or take, something like that, the Republican voters said they're with Trump. So, I mean, Tucker Carlson and Kelly, I guess they think they're maximizing edge lord hyper online, 18, 19 year old basement dwelling Jwee B clicks. But they're not actually winning over people in the real world, and that's ultimately it matters. You're exactly right, Josh. But they are doing, I mean, when the President of the United States has to come out and has to effectively excommunicate them from MAGA, has to denounce them, it's because there's such grifters that they're even willing to join with the left, the hard left, and the media to try and undermine the president. All the things.

that are very important, like the war with Iran or other things that the president's doing. So they're really, they're not just stupid and foul mouth and have really no substantive backgrounds whatsoever. They're trying to do as much damage as they can to the current president and his administration. Now, hold your thought. Hold your thought. I want to keep you after the break. The great Josh Hammer, the Josh Hammer show is a fantastic podcast, one of the good ones. I want you to check it out. We'll be right back. You know, folks, I've been working with Pure Talk for six years now. Boy, time flies. I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values. Pure Talk is a veteran-led company, so helping veterans is their North Star. They've donated over half a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, a fantastic organization that is on the front lines of helping to prevent veteran suicide. and Pure Talks creating American jobs with a U.S. only workforce.

And I choose to do business with a company that shares my values, your value, helping support veterans every single day in creating American jobs. How about you? Go to puretalk.com slash Levim to switch to pure talk. That's puretalk.com slash L-E-V-I-N to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, Pure Talk. Mark with him, the thunder on the right. Call in now, 877381-381. We're here with Josh Hammer, the Josh Hammer Show, great podcast. I encourage you to check it out. You're going to like it a lot. I want to move on to Iran soon, but I guess my point when we took the break here, Josh, is these people are really trying to damage the president and his agenda. It's not sort of legitimate criticism. It's just attack, attack, attack, I think. Correct, because they're engaged in fundamentally a subversive fifth column operation. And that fifth column is against MAGA. It's against President Trump's coalition. It's against the Republican Party. It's against the conservative movement. It's also against the United States of America. I mean, think of how Marjorie Taylor Greene was posing with Code Pink, which is this Neville Royce-Singham-funded pro-Chinese Communist Party, pro-Iran, pro-North Korea, just genuinely... lunatic organization. I mean, Tucker Carlson, what enemy of America has he not, has he not been offering various forms of propaganda for? I mean, the man is essentially a full-scale Sharia law Muslim Brotherhood apologists.

at that at this point so that they're absolutely trying to to undermine and destroy maga but arguably even more dangerous than that mark is i i really think that they are essentially trying to undermine america they're at least trying to cut off the foundations of what america is and who's whose interest is that serve it serves russia's interest china's interest there They're basically listening to Vladimir Putin's philosopher, this guy, Alexander Dugan, this utter crank over in Moscow. They're listening to Alexander Dugan much more than they're listening to people like Edmund Burke and Milton Freeman. And that frankly should send a chill-up ball of response. So why do, or at least arguably, conservative groups keep platforming these people? I don't understand. They should be persona non-grana. They absolutely should be. Look, the very nature of the word conservative, what are we here to do? We're here to conserve. And the very nature of conservation means by definition... that value judgments must be made that we are here to conserve and preserve certain traditions certain customs principles values ways of life etc and the natural corollary for that is that we're here not to preserve so this delineation this this distinction between that which is good true and beautiful and that which is bad false and and not very beautiful that that distinction is is inherent in the conservative enterprise and i say all that because A lot of folks erroneously scream when people like you or I say, oh, Tucker Carlson should not be platformed on one of these conferences. A lot of folks say, oh, you're engaged in cancel culture. You hate free speech. You hate the first amendment. No, we don't. No, we don't. We're just saying that a conservative organization should promote conservative things. I mean, think of it this way. If you are a single issue pro-life donor, let's say that your one motivating issue is the abortion issue. and you donate to a candidate. And the candidate turns out to be a pro-abortion fanatic upon getting elected to office there, you're going to cut your paycheck. You're not going to keep on sending checks. You're allowed to change your mind. So it's not the conservative organizations have changed. It's that these freaks have changed. It's that Tucker Carlson and Megan and all the rest of them have changed. They've all sold out. So I don't have a good answer to that question mark there, but certainly I think the pressure must be kept up to make sure they do not get platformed. Now, let's talk quickly about Iran. I mean, what President Trump has done with his team, with our military, has done is really, I think, fabulous. Absolutely fantastic. And they're still at it. They're trying to choke them economically. And yet, you know, the backbenchers are spitting their spitballs. They're lying about the 25th Amendment. I mean, this guy Jamie Raskin says, I want to commission on the 25th Amendment. To do what? He has no role in it unless the vice president and majority of the cabinet vote. to send something to Congress that the president can't do his job. He has no role. So he's a drama queen, but he's a hardcore lefty. He's been involved in all the impeachment efforts, all the other efforts against Trump. But they're all sounding this way now, Josh. Listen, the distinction.

that maybe prevailed 10, 15 years ago between a radical left-wing Democrat and a moderate Democrat, that distinction has utterly collapsed. I think about Ro Khanna. Ro Khanna in California is actually a great example. When Ro Khanna was rising up through the ranks of the Democratic Party, he had a somewhat moderate business-friendly reputation, given his origin to Silicon Valley. Now he's the leading guy trying to mainstream this deeply anti-Semitic, anti-American streamer, Hasan Piker. So, I mean, that's, that's shifting of the Overton window, I think, says all you need to know. This is a party fundamentally. without any moderates that i'm aware of other than maybe John Fetterman who i i guess shockingly is kind of like the last man standing so to speak but it's a party fundamentally taken over by radicals and that that shouldn't be surprising to anyone who who pays attention to such trends because the democratic party has consistently been maybe 10 to 15 years give or take behind the labor party over in the uk going back for the past half century or so and the labor party started to go truly that crap crazy around the time time that Jeremy Corbyn, the Hamas Hezbollah fanatic, around the time that he was the leader of the Labor Party, well, that was about a decade ago. So again, I mean, these things always have about a 10, 15 year lag time there. So the Democratic Party now is basically where the British Labor Party was 10 years ago, and that's a deeply inauspicious trajectory to put him mildly there. So, listen, independent voters, moderate voters, reasonable voters, voters who are on team civilizational sanity, as I call it there. There is a huge, huge opportunity for Republicans to pick up all of these voters in the midterm elections this November. All it entails, really, is trying to kick the right's own cranks to the side and make sure that they do not speak for anyone other than their deeply selfish selves. I think they're unraveling, don't you? I do think they're in Rattleth. I can feel the momentum shift. I'm sure you do, too. It feels like, especially as Trump has prosecuted Epic Fury, this war against Iran to near perfection thus far, as you correctly said, it seems like the momentum is heavily, heavily shifting away from the crooks, away from the pro-Russia, pro-Trina, fifth column subversives, and much closer to Team America and Team Western civilization. Look, Donald Trump is a guy who fundamentally gets it. And if I were a betting man, I would wager. that conventional military hostilities against Iran will probably resume sooner rather than later. It's been an absolutely astonishing operation thus far. Iran virtually has no air force, virtually no Navy. There are still some very important items remaining, perhaps above all, the hundreds of kilograms of enriched uranium that are still on the loose. They certainly still have some ballistic missiles, some drones in their arsenal as well there. But I feel quite confident, Mark, that Donald Trump is not done at this stage with the Iranian regime there.

can tell you how much longer it will go on there but again if i if i were wagering i'm not really bad man but if i were i were probably wagering that at least this thing will resume sooner rather than later no i agree with you all right so again if people want to watch your podcast it's josh hammer show right and it's platformed everywhere i think Yeah, it's a Josh Hammer Show. It's available on YouTube on the Salem News channel as well. It's also available everywhere you get your podcast. We have some radio affiliates as well. We're growing the show. And you can check out my weekly syndicated column as well at Newsweek, LA Times, Real Clear Politics, Daily Signal elsewhere. And then my book, which you of course so graciously blurtmarked last year, was Israel and civilization, the fate of the Jewish nation and the destiny of the West. Great book. All right, my friend. Take care of yourself. Great job as always. Appreciate it. God bless you, Mark. Thank you. God bless you, too. He's a good man. Good man. You should be very pleased because we constitutional conservatives have a great young team behind people like me. So when I go off to Never Never Land, other people can fill these types of slots and platforms, although they're building their own platforms and slots. For others, I guess, to fill one day. But they're doing a fantastic job. And that's necessary now. For all of us. We'll be right back. Mark Levin.

You know, folks, I've been working with Pure Talk for six years now, boy, time flies. I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values. Pure Talk is a veteran-led company, so helping veterans is their North Star. Now, they've donated over half a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, a fantastic organization that is on the front lines of helping to prevent veteran suicide. and Pure Talks creating American jobs with a U.S. only workforce. Sure to be a lot cheaper to send jobs overseas like other companies do, but they're committed to delivering the best experience possible for their customers here in the United States. And yes, I love Pure Talk service. They give you the same tower, same network, same 5G coverage, is one of the big guys, but for a fraction of the price. And I choose to do business with a company that shares my values, your value, helping support veterans every single day in creating American jobs. How about you? Go to puretalk.com slash Levim to switch to pure talk. That's puretalk.com slash L-E-V-I-N to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, Pure Talk. All right, let's start, shall we? This guy, Eric Swalwell, was quite the pig, according to these allegations. and everybody who was his best buddy who hung around him for years who protected him who advanced his career Nancy Pelosi the senator from Arizona and I didn't know everybody's Helen Keller everybody's Helen Keller but nobody should be all these people had a role in covering this up all of them

A former Swalwold donor and supporter, Stephen Klubeck. Cut 18, go. Say, first say, you're bad. I mean... Bad? Yeah. I am no longer a Democrat. I'm now a libertarian Republican. Because that's what a blue dog Democrat used to be. Okay? Mm-hmm. It's called... Executing, being accountable, enforcing, respect, responsibility, and results. Knowing what your job description is. Delivering results. Unifying. Making this country great. The great brand we have, okay? There you go. It's an upset billionaire, former Democrat. Very interesting. He's gone now. Then we have some of the women who have spoken out. I can't do them justice by squeezing it in here at the last few minutes of the hour, rather. So we're going to wait until after the top of the hour. But we're definitely going to address this in a significant way because it deserves it. And it also exposes the media. Now, when they have their big, you know, event in Washington, D.C., correspondence dinner they're not going to talk about this the media will have no circumspection they'll have no second thoughts about anything that they've done zero because in the truth they don't care now swall spoke out as reported by the new york post has released an updated statement after a fresh rape claim then you'll hear the woman in a moment after the hour was leveled against him on Tuesday morning. He categorically and unequivocally denied all the allegations against him from multiple women in a blistering rebuttal, and he'll get to prove that obviously one day. He claimed they were part of a coordinated rollout of heinous allegations and argued none of it was about justice or the truth. This is a guy who went after Brett Kavanaugh and said when four or five women are saying the same thing, they're either right or it's an incredible coincidence. Now, his comments came just hours after a bombshell press conference where a new victim detailed a claim a rape against him during a night out in West Hollywood in 2018. We will play that. And, of course, he will get to defend himself. And that's what the due process system is all about. A statement released by his TV star attorney, Sarah Azari, Eric Swalwell said, Congressman Eric Swalwell categorically and unequivocally denies each and every allegation of sexual misconduct and assault that has been leveled against him. Now, I told you last night, I think his lawyers have come up with this. Anything that's not assault, but that's harassment or something of that sort. You know, you'll have to admit that. There's just too many allegations here. But anything that has the potential to criminalize this situation or laying you in jail, that we will fight, that you should deny. And you can see how he kind of pieced his statement last night where he's talking about, look, I misbehave, my wife, my family, my constituents, my staff, so that's what he's talking about. But as for these claims of assault, I never did any of that.

No, maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. Again, you'll have to defend himself, presumably, on those matters. But that's how they're approaching this. That's how they're dividing it. Okay, everything over here, you're scuzzball. Can't fix that. But everything over here where there's actual criminal liability, well, I'm sure the defense counsel has decided we really got to dig in strong on that one. He's never wavered in that fight. And he will, the spokeswoman, he will not waver now, the attorney. We will fight these despicable and basic accusations with the same tenacity, courage, and conviction that has defined the congressman's public service. This is arrogance and stupidity, actually. We are confident that the truth will prevail. We will pursue every available legal remedy. Well, you better, because every available, I hope. potentially criminal pursuit will be applied to you. We know about New York. Obviously, this could be a federal case, but it also be a case federal because Washington D. is covered by the U.S. attorney there, and it could be the eastern district, wherever it took place. It could be California. Swallow is being represented by Azari, who often featured on CNN, NBC, ABC. She specializes in white collar crime. Well, you better get somebody who specializes an actual criminal activity besides just white collar. You'll get to hear some of this when we return. Don't forget to check out our great video podcast, Liberty's Voice. I got a killer show up there for you today, ladies and gentlemen. It's an absolute killer.

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. Eric Swalwell. Lana Drew's is the fifth Eric Swalwell accuser. She was in Beverly Hills today. And she's accused Eric Swalwell, not anonymously, now with a covered face out in public, of raping her. Back in, I guess it's 2019, give her take. But you can hear what she has to say. Cut 13, go. On the third occasion, I believe he drugged my drink. I only had one glass of wine. He, we were supposed to go to a political event, and he said he needed to get paperwork from his hotel room.

When I arrived at his hotel room, I was already incapacitated and I couldn't move my arms or my body. He raped me and he choked me. And while he was choking me, I lost consciousness. And I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity, although I did not undergo a rape kit. At the time, I disclosed the assault to the people closest to me. I also recorded these events in my handwritten calendar. The assault and its impact were later documented during my therapy sessions at a sexual assault center in Connecticut. It had a profound impact on my mental health. I self-medicated in an unhealthy way. I did not want to live anymore. Hmm. And then cut 14, please. My delay in taking action against Eric was driven by fear, not doubt, fear of his political power, his background as an attorney, and his family law enforcement ties. I have never doubted what happened. I stand with the other women who have come forward. And I will be making a report to law enforcement shortly with my attorneys. And that's what she did. Now, Nancy Pelosi, who was Eric Swalwell's mentor and protector. When the Chinese communist spy scandal broke, she stood by him, she protected him. She came out and defended his character, his morality. And she insisted he'd stay on the Senate, excuse me, the House Intelligence Committee, I believe it was. Kimmel McCarthy, after reading the FBI review and the report Dunn said, if you could see what I saw, there's no way you would agree to this. And we played that for you last night.

So here's Nancy Pelosi yesterday. Cut 15, go. Some Republicans and others are saying that Democrats turned kind of a blind eye, that they knew what he was up to. No, that's not true. That is absolutely positive. And it's true that they may say that, but it is absolutely not true. None whatsoever. None whatsoever. I don't believe her. I don't believe her at all. Because now we have some reporters coming forward, one in particular. who says that the party members did. They didn't know about the rape, per se, but they knew that he was a sleesball. And I got to believe that information got to her and got to Ruben Gallego. And I'll get to him in a minute. Here's more Nancy Pelosi yesterday. Cut 16 go. Did you tell him for his own? Oh, I think that was his decision. I think it's a smart decision to make. The right thing to do? Yes, the right thing to do, yes. Not to subject members to have to take a vote on something like that. Okay, see why she thinks it's the right thing to do, Mr. Reducer? No, not to force the other members to take a vote. It's a right decision because he's a sleazeball. That's why it's a right decision, not because other members have to take a vote. This is how you know she's got ice water in her veins. Go ahead. Family, probably five times in the history of our country, has anybody been ejected from the Congress? Why should you be the sixth? If you have a challenge that you have to address, it's best addressed not as a candidate for governor and not as a member of Congress. Wow, well, now she tells us. Oh. But she and her party created this situation, as did the media. Then they all pounced. They all demanded to get out of that governor's race because that's one less Democrat to split the votes. I'm telling you, that's how these people work. It's all about power. Were they upset about chappaquittic? Not for a minute. They circled the wagons around Teddy Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Were they upset about all the women who were abused, raped, sold into pornography, who were coming across the border illegally? Thanks to the various drug cartels and others. Did they ever say anything about that? Never. Never. Now, Ruben Gallego is or was Eric Swalwell's best friend, was in charge of his campaign. They went to Doha together. In an infamous photo now that's come out where they were both bare-chested riding camels.

best friends and so you don't think they talk to each other about women they talk about women if they if they case of Galejo or excuse me in the case of Eric Swalwell that is Eric Swalwell I don't think he would say, hey, you know what, Ruben Gallego, I rape somebody. That's not what I'm talking about. But I'm talking about foul-mouth, immoral, conduct, and statements. You know that guy's not some kind of an angel. You know that guy's a sleaze ball. You're his best friend. I doubt he hid it from you. So this Ruben Gallego, by the way, has his own issues. You can go Google that yourselves. Kari Lake is out there and she's tried to expose this guy for what he is. Not a choir boy, that's for sure. But here he is with reporters today because he knows, boy, I got to give cover to myself. Not because I was involved in any of these things, not because I knew all these things, but I was his best friend and I was in charge of his campaign. Cut 17, go. Eric's Wall lied to all of us. He lies to the most powerful people in this country. And they trusted him. They trusted him in some most sensitive spots in our government, whether it was on Judiciary Committee, Intel Committee, impeaching Donald Trump. And that clouded my judgment, my friendship with him. Our family's friendship together with him plotted my judgment. And I was wrong. I deeply, deeply regret that. The women that came forward are courageous, and they still deserve justice. But to be clear again, I also had no knowledge of predatory behavior, sexual assault, or harassment. Well, there you go. Now, if I'm bringing a civil case against Eric Swalwell, I would put the senator to the test. I would depose him. I would depose him. I put him to the test about what he did or didn't know, and I put him under oath. Subject of perjury. Not because he's lying, of course, just because I need to get all the facts. If he witnessed anything, if he heard anything, if he read anything, that would actually be a very intriguing deposition. Let me put it that way. Then Ro Khanna, as you know, is Joe Rogan man. Joe Rogan is turned into a Jew hating, Israel hating, Hasan Piker embracing and loving and promoting. Real piece of crap. He's just a real piece of crap. And look how he tries to spin this. So you know he's a sleaze ball. Cut 18, go. The allegations are so disturbing. They're so shocking. He needed to resign. I mean, I can't in good faith be talking about survivors of the Epstein class and calling for accountability and then not a call for accountability of members of Congress. Let's stop. Listen to this guy, what is self-righteous nobody he is. He's trying to show you how consistently, you know, righteous he is, principled he is.

I can't call for accountability and Epstein are not call for it here. Well, you can call for accountability, period. One is nothing to do with the other. But he's not done. Go ahead. This is what we need to remember. When Democrats have this type of an issue, we call immediately for resignations. No, you don't. You didn't call for his resignation with Fang Fang or Fang or whatever the hell her name was? But see, now we Democrats, we circle the wagons. We say, get rid of this guy after we circle the wagons to protect this guy. Again, Tavaros, this columnist for the local paper out there, he made it clear that the local Democrats were well aware of this. Again, not the rape nature, but that he was a sleazeball. And so I guarantee you we're members of Congress and staffers. So remembers the Congress and staffers. They want this over with as fast as possible. They wanted it over with before the primary votes start coming in. They needed to reduce the number of Democrats running, and now they're piling on as fast as they can and beating their chest about how wonderful Democrats are. Go ahead. How about the fact that we have a president of the United States who has engaged allegedly in sexual assault repeatedly? And no one is calling for accountability there. Well, why would we call for anything? People can bring lawsuits. People can be investigated. And so for this guy, it's about Trump. I told you he's a low life. So does it sound like he's taking these victims seriously? These women have come out, pointed fingers at Eric Swalwell? When he's talking about Trump? Doesn't talk about Clinton, I notice. Doesn't talk about the Kennedys, I notice. We Democrats, you know, we really come forward. We do. Oh, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. That's it. That's probably enough for him. We shall return.

Time for a grand experiment once again. Oh, we've never had those in the Marxist Islamist world, have we? Create a network of city-owned grocery stores. God. Hey, yeah, I'm sure the fruit will be fresh and the vegetables will be great. I'm just sure it'll be fantastic. Why are they in the food business? There are plenty of food stores. Cut 20, go. New York City, it is time for a grand experiment once again. Just as LaGuardia used government to respond to the challenges of the Great Depression, we will use government to respond to rising prices and unaffordable groceries. Since the pandemic, grocery prices have gone up, and they haven't come back down. Now, why? Why? Why have they gone up? Because the federal government spent $2 trillion more than it would have otherwise spent. massively increased inflation because more and more dollars were printed. And so this moron's answer to big government, massively increasing inflation, is to take over at least one aspect of the food industry. That'll fix it. Now tell me anywhere in the world. Hello, America. It is America. America. America with a K, America with a C. Show me anywhere in the world where government-run grocery stars work. Just show me one. Nowhere. Nowhere. It's so ridiculous in the biggest city in America, which is known for Wall Street, which is known for commerce and so forth and so on. The city. They can't get the damn snow out of the streets. Can't balance a budget. The city is going to run grocery stores. This episode is brought to you by San Pellegrino Chow.

Let's go to Esther, Brooklyn, New York, the great W.A.B.C., Esther, go right ahead, please. Yes, I'm starting to see it's getting harder to obtain kosher food. We used to have a kosher green grocer near me, the guy who knew landlord, they were kicked out. There was a major Chinese-American deli-slash-delly restaurant with takeout. They closed. And I don't think it's a coincidence. Damn, Danny did his shindig with 100 days in Masked at Queens, home to one of the most famous, largest kosher slaughterhouses in North America. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, that's not good. What do you think's going on? I think this is a subtle anti-Semitic war. Mm-hmm. And he's threatening the kosher food supply. I wouldn't put it past them. I mean, this is part of the, you know, global intifada. You know his wife's no damn good. You know, his supporters are no damn good. Like this guy, that podcaster guy. What was his name? I forget his name. Hasan Piker. Then he's got another Hassan Mehdi Hassan. Then he's got Sink the Fat Slab. Oh, one after another. One after another. All right, Esther. Thank you for your call. I'm sorry about all that. It's got to Matthew, Blackshear, Georgia on the Mark Levin app. How are you? Hey, how are you? My question for you is if the United States is energy independent, why are we not setting the price for our own oil? Because it doesn't work that way. We're energy independent, but we don't control 50, 60, 80 percent of the world's oil. We can't set the price. How would you do that? How would you even do that? We'll be administration. First of all, all the oil companies can't get together and set the price. But let's talk this through logically, okay? We can't, the government can't set the price. How can the government set the price of oil? That's number one. Number two, you've got competing oil companies, independence, regional oil companies, international oil companies. Number three, they still have to compete. internationally, whether it's Russia or anybody else for that matter. We can't control that. Number four, we have our own supplying demand in this country as they do overseas. So we don't set the price of a commodity. It's an impossibility. Gotcha. Make sense? All right. Well, that clears it up a little bit for me. But I do hope we don't pull out of this.

this effort we have to keep those straits closed for long because look there's a level of impatience in our country over this that's kind of driving me crazy because we're going to have to live with the result there's not going to be another president who does this sort of thing who wrestles these people to the ground who's all but destroyed the regime i feel that regime is going to collapse its its military's been destroyed for the most part They've got these internal domestic forces, a police state. But if the economy really turns disastrous, it's very bad right now, then they're not going to be able to control what takes place. So I just hope we have enough patience. And I'm not talking about years. I'm not even talking about months, maybe three, four weeks. And the benefits will be... Not eternal, but they'll be very long as a result. And the people of Iran will be liberated, and that to me is very, very crucial, and nobody's talking about it. All right, my friend. Thank you, Matthew. Let's go to Roy, Dallas, Texas, the great WBAP. Thank you for taking my call. Hopefully you'll be the next Attorney General of the United States. I'd like to see that. That won't work for several reasons. One, I don't want to. Number two, I'd never get confirmed. Number three. I have enough threats. I don't want any more threats. I understand. You have mentioned this evening about Nancy Pelosi. Yeah. Okay. She still has a strong arm in these matters involving the Democratic Party, even though she is no longer the House Speaker. And I also see behind the scenes pulling the strings is Barack Obama as well as Hillary Clinton. And if they knew that Eric, sir. Good points. If they knew that Eric Swalwell back then that he was having that affair with that Chinese agent, something should have done immediately then to remove them. Now, take a look also further with his scandals. And I was looking back when Gary Conded. I believe he was also from the state of California when he got caught in his skin. Am I mistaken? No, he's from California. It was. I don't know if he's even around, but yes. Right, right. But, you know, luckily these women have been killed like Chandra Levy. Yeah, but I don't know if the congressman did it. That's never been proven. That's right. I just deal with the facts as they are. And the facts as they are is the timing of this helps the Democrats. They got rid of one of their candidates. They probably thought this would eventually come out. They didn't want it to come out after the primary voting really kicks in because then there's nothing they could do about it. And they'll do anything for powers. I've said over and over again, the Democrat Party is all about power. If you really want to understand what's going on, that's all you need to know, that one word.

and they will do anything for power, including knockoff Eric Swalwell. True. All right, my brother. Thank you for your call. Excellent call. Let's go to Montreal, Canada. Tony, how are you, Tony? I'm doing well. I'm happy to hear from you. And sorry to hear there's threats against you when you speak. I shouldn't have said that. I'm not going to repeat that. So anyway, go ahead, Tony. Listen, Eric Swalwell is one of the apex Democrats that was attacking Trump for all kinds of infidelities. And today, you see, not only was he the true insidious traitor that he is, when he was accusing Trump of making illegal phone calls to Ukraine and accusing Trump of being a traitor, when he never was. This gentleman is sleeping with the enemy, literally, with the Chinese communists. And how many secrets were passed while he was sitting in a very high-level committee in the U.S. government? And on top of that, you know, all of these women that come out of the woodwork, it's not for nothing that they're making these claims. And now he's facing, I see tonight, I just received an alert that he's facing charges, or investigations in California regarding these women's claims. So, you know, like at the end of the day, you see how the right is trying to reorganize the United States country and try to put it back on track. And that's what Trump is facing this difficulty. In 14 months, he's tried to do his best. But he's facing the Singums, the Soros. And of course, you know, people like this Eric Swalwell, who was virtually a mouthpiece for the billionaires that were supporting him. And at the end of the day, the right is always right and the left will never be right. And as far as I'm concerned, people that are not supporting Trump, that are saying that he's not doing enough in the world, especially. You said it today. He is one of the only presidents. that would go into Iran because he truly believes he has to correct that, not just for this generation, but multiple future generations. All right, my friend. No, no, no, you've made great points, but I got a roll. Thank you so, so much. Excellent calls all around. Now, Zohran Mamdani has made a admission. Cut 21, go. Now here's how it works. The city will subsidize a core set of staples. Whoa, why just a court set of staples? Why just a court? Why not all the food? See, this is a fraud. This is a pathetic joke. A core set of staples. When you go to a grocery store, do you look for just a core set of staples? Or do you say, you know what, let's go over here? capitalism, that is commerce, creates an enormous amount of variety and choices for people with different backgrounds or appetites or religious beliefs and on and on and on. The government can't do. A core set of staples, you see? Go ahead. But the answer to the standards that the city will set. Well, he also says a private operator will run the store.

But the answer to the standards that the city will set, these standards include requirements. That at our stores, bread will be cheaper. Eggs will be cheaper. Go ahead. That at our stores, bread will be cheaper. Eggs will be cheaper. Grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable. You are full of crap. You're selling crap. The fact of the matter is you won't have choices. The fact of the matter is, but for subsidies by you, the people of New York. None of this could even happen. We'll see how long it lasts. But if this is all you had in New York as socialist-run grocery stores, you'd starve to death. That's the bottom line. That's the bottom line. He's a fraud and a phony and a fool. I'll be right back. This is going to be an extremely busy month. I have to watch 104 soccer games. Follow the pregame, the post game, yell useless opinions at the TV. It's a lot. So I knew that when it comes to screening for colon cancer, the choice was clear. The Colagard Plus test. It can be used at home and can only take 15 minutes, so I can do it during halftime and not miss any action. If you are 45 or older and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with the Coligard test. You can also request a prescription at colagard.com. I don't know

Let's listen to this again, top of the Armandami, top of the cut. Cut 21 go. Now here's how it works. The city will subsidize a core set of staples. A private operator will run the store, but they answer to the standards that the city will set. These standards include requirements that at our stores, bread will be cheaper. Eggs will be cheaper. Grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation. All right. Stop. So first of all. You have a private operator because they don't know how to operate a grocery service. Secondly, he talks about bread and eggs. Mr. producer tells me that's good for a prison meal if you're a prisoner. What else is there? Notice he only talks about bread and eggs. Bread and eggs. He doesn't say you have all kinds of cool choices of breads, different types of eggs. No. This is like the Soviet Union. 1933. Good. You can have bread and eggs. Bread and eggs? How about meat? Come back in three days. He didn't mention meat, did he, Mr. Producer? He didn't mention poultry, did he? He didn't mention fresh fish, did he? No, he didn't mention any of that. What else didn't he mention? Everything else you get at a grocery store. Oh, this should be interesting. Very interesting. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. What a schmuck. May I say that? I think I did. Let's go to Jim. Las Vegas, Nevada, XM satellite. Go right ahead, please. Yeah, Mark, I can't, Mark, I can't begin to tell you what a privilege is. I absolutely love you. You are my ideological and intellectual hero. I just want to make a quick comment. Other people mention this, but just mention the sacrifice that the greatest generation. uh did for for for the world mark as compared to people comparing about uh complaining about it's ridiculous a little extra at the gas time a little action and and it's less than you were paying under biden in order to stop a a nazi regime from building nuclear weapons to blows off the face the earth is it really a close call No, not at all, Mark. No, Jim. And no one's complaining about, I notice no one's claiming that there's any price gouging going on right now, Mark, which I find interesting, unlike under Biden when, you know, that's what we heard, you know, that the coil companies were gouging us. Yeah, I know. It's just, it's just ridiculous. And the Republicans don't even know how to push back. I read a piece today where it said the Republicans are urging Trump to get this over with him. Get this over with. How about we finish the job? And then it's over for good. And then you're going to have peace breaking out in the Middle East between Israel and Lebanon. You're going to have peace, maybe not breaking out overtly, but certainly in the shadows with Israel and some of the Arab countries. The whole world's going to change. Certainly in that part of the world. For what? Another month or six weeks?

The casualties are minimal, even though every casualty is a bad one. Don't get me wrong, but minimal. And the military operation has been spectacular. Now we've shut down the straits. We're choking them off economically. And everybody says, take your foot off their throat. They still have a dark communication environment there. They're slaughtering people. They're abusing people. I mean, for God's sakes. Now, you're 100% right, my brother. 100%, Jim. Thank you for your call. I need to get to Las Vegas. First of all, I love the restaurants there. I love them. I love the shows there, and I love the food there. What's not the love? Just for a long weekend, four or five days. That's all I ask, the wifey and me. All right, we salute our armed forces, we salute all you great heroes out there as we run out of time. Be safe. Be happy. And we'll see you tomorrow. God bless you up. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mintz offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Up front payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12-1 plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms.
