4/3/26 - Trump's Defense Budget: A Bold Move Amidst Crisis

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

He's here. He's here. Now broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. I don't know.

our number 877 381 3811 hell 877 381 381 3811 as you know a down fighter jet we have here I'm just one up to date you there's nothing new over the last few hours down the US fighter jet there's a search for one of the crew members one of the other crew members has already been found successfully rescued It's in a fairly desolate area. It happened at night. It is now about 1 a.m. and change in Iran. The feeling is that they will find him. The U.S. intelligence and satellites and everything we have is looking for him, as are the Israelis. So there's that. And if we have any new information, I'll let you know. In hour three, we're going to have our friend Alan West on the program to talk to us about this. As you know, he's a hardened combat veteran. And we will talk to him. He's also a great guy. So there's that. And then over Mediite, one of the most disreputable sites. And yet there is an interview there that they point out. Garrett Hack. Very nice. Reported NBC News Live blog this afternoon. In a brief phone interview, President Trump refused to discuss the specifics of ongoing search and rescue efforts in Iran after an American jet was down. Well, what did he expect the idiot? What did he expect? But he expressed frustration about some of the coverage of what is plainly an intense and sensitive military operation. Est of today's events will affect any negotiations with Iran. The president said it would not. No, not at all. No, it's war. We're in a war, Garrett. The president really does have his head screwed on right. You know, it really does. And you look at Iraq, all the planes that went down and so forth. That's not to diminish this. It's just to put some context into this. And context is important. Now, everything is on the move to try and find this crew member. And I feel they're going to find them, and hopefully alive and well. I think they're going to find it before the Iranians. It's not in a populated area and so forth. And what I've been watching and hearing is what they basically will do is figure out a radius in which he's likely to be. and then protect that radius from the Iranians and others. With gunships, with helicopters, with whatever is needed. With whatever is needed. The president also posted the truth social as the search continued for the American pilot who ejected more than 15 hours ago. Keep the oil, anyone? Trump's second truth post of the day.

He's been pressuring countries that rely on the Strait of Hormuz for the majority of their oil to retake the strait from Iran, which has been blocking shipments with mines and missile strikes. And I don't know why they don't. Other than half of my... So, slash their defense budgets. They don't have much of a Navy, I guess. I guess. And so that's where we stand, and we are monitoring the wire services, and if something changes, you will be the first to know. As in any newsbreaking evening, when I'm on the air, we monitor our newswires that are out there, several of them. If there's any change, you will be the first to know. That's the situation right now. and it will change eventually, that's for sure. Now let me get this also. Bear with me, folks. Bear with me, bear with me. Are the phones working today, Rich? Okay, well, we have that going for us. Let's see here. Whoa, that's weird. You know, we're taking a lot of outside hits on our equipment. I'm taking it on my laptop. I'm taking it on everything else. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Makes me wonder anyway. Hold on one second. I seem to be one of the enemy, number one enemies of the enemy. Okay, here we are. Here we are. Okay. White House seeks $1.5 trillion for defense in the new budget request. We're touching on Iran. I figured I'd mention this. It's something I support strongly. Strongly. The request which arrived as part of President Trump's new budget would amount to roughly a 40% increase from what the United States spent on the Pentagon this fiscal year. Now, what they don't tell you is the percentage of the GDP. It would be about what Reagan spent. It would be about what Reagan spent to rebuild our military. So when they say, wow, look at that. It's a 40% increase. It may be 40. It could be 33. It could be 41. I don't know. But that's what's going on. The administration coupled the proposal with a call for 73 billions and cuts spread across many domestic agencies. Good. And then they put out ones that they hope will annoy people. Of course, the Democrats are defunding TSA. The president stepped in to fix that. But that doesn't bother the New York slimes too much. The idea is some to a fiscal blueprint that could add trillions of dollars to the brimming federal debt. Now, do they ever mention that when they talk about Obamacare or massive new spending for some massive wave of illegal immigrants? Do they ever care about the brimming federal debt? Of course not. So the number one responsibility of our government is to keep us safe and secure. States can't do that. Cities can't do that. We can't do that as individuals. That is the number one responsibility of the federal government, period. Number one. And so we rely on them to do it. And you can see we need shipbuilding. I mean, we're so behind on ships. It's not even funny. And we need people who are skilled in that, and we're trying to do all that, and Trump's trying to do all the right things associated with that. Very, very important.

We need ship. We don't even have much of a commercial ship building industry anymore. That's really shocking when you consider we have an Atlantic Ocean and a Pacific Ocean off each coast, right? That some of these other countries, particularly China, have a massive Navy and they're building it up massively even more. So it's a big deal. Mr. Trump, they say urge Congress to approve most of his new defense money, more than $1.1 trillion, to enact the remaining $350 billion using the same special legislative tactic that allowed Republicans to clinch their tax cuts in 2025. Such a move could also enable GOP leaders to boost funding for the president's mass deportations despite Democrats' objections. So if you really want to know what the Democrats are thinking, you read the New York Times, you read Politico, you read Axios, you read all this crap. But I just wanted to point out, I think the president is doing the right thing. We need to do this. And we also need to cut other parts of the budget significantly. Significantly. I'll be right back. March 11. 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.

We have Marlon Stutzman, Republican of Indiana, on CNN today. It's listen to what he has to say. I believe we supported him once for the Senate, didn't we, or the House Mr. Reduce her years ago. Cut two, go. All kinds of watchdogs say Iran's got about 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, nuclear material buried in Isfahan. It's still there. It was there before the war began. It's there now. And last night, the president said, I think the plan is to watch it by satellite. Do you think that that is satisfactory? Does that satisfy you? If the United States ends this war and there's still 400 kilograms of enriched nuclear material in Isfahan, is that a win? Not as long as this regime is still in power. I mean, we should never trust this regime. This has been going on for 40 years. And if the IRGC and the Ayatollah are still in power in Iran, it will always be a problem. Because these guys are, they are true believers that if you don't agree with them and their religious beliefs, that they are going to... Some either, you know, eliminate the person or they're going to get a nuclear bomb in order to leverage the rest of the world. And so I think that this, there has to be a regime change here. I am not afraid to say it because we know that this regime has been. Yes. And I didn't say right now, I agree with this, this congressman. They got to go. They got to go. Go ahead. Is that mean you don't think there has been? Because the president said last night there was regime change. Well, and again, I wish these reporters would stop playing gotcha and get serious. Okay, the president said that you're talking to a member of the house. Why does he want regime change? You don't pursue it. What does he mean by regime change? You don't pursue it. How would he pursue regime change? You don't ask him. Instead, it is endless gotcha, which is why CNN sucks. That's why all the media suck. Go ahead. I do and who he's talking to and how he is negotiating with the people in Iran. So if he is comfortable with a new person that's taking power, then that is a new leadership in Iran. And I think that that's what's important. We can't let the old guys stay in power. We have to let the Iranian people have their country back. It also creates an ally in the Middle East. It brings stability to the Middle East. watching the Gulf states stepping up through this conflict is really remarkable. This wouldn't have happened 10 years ago. And to have Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Israel, all working for the same goal here to take off the head of the snake, is truly remarkable. And I think that that's what I mean when I say there's got to be somebody new. It's exactly right. Now, I first brought up this issue publicly of the enriched uranium that is used for nuclear bombs. 60% and then 90%, that it's buried deep under the ground, that our bombers have softened it up and so forth and so on, but it's still there. And I surmised that that's why the president, in part, in addition to the Straits, is sending and talking about special ops and the 82nd Airborne, and the special ops in particular, they are trained.

to do this sort of thing, even though it's complicated and sover, they've been training for decades to do this sort of thing. Nobody, again, diminishes the complications involved, but then on the other hand, that's one of the things the military practices to do, trains to do. I brought it up, pointed out what I thought was something important. And then we get Mark Levin says we should send troops into Iran to get the enriched nuclear material. And maybe we should. We're not talking about sending a massive numbers of infantry. Maybe we should. Or maybe they have to go into these places to destroy the uranium or extract it. And maybe we should. But I don't know. But why would we take it off the table? That's what I don't get. Why would we take it off the table? And I should be worried to bring it up because of the word warmonger. They called Harry Truman a wallmonger when he dropped two atomic bombs. They called, more than him, Theodore Roosevelt, a warmonger. They called Woodrow Wilson because of World War I, a warmonger. They called FDR a warmonger. Truman, a war monger, Johnson a war monger, Nixon a war monger. The Bushes were warmongers, they said. Reagan was a war monger. And now Donald Trump, you see, is a war monger. No rational distinctions or discernment between different situations. This is why I always talk about prudence over ideology. You got to look at the facts. You got to look at the situation. They're unique in each case. And so everything is not Afghanistan. Everything is not Vietnam. Everything's not Iraq. Everything's not World War II. Everything's not, you know, the Civil War. Some things are different. A lot of things are different. This case is different. It's not a forever war, and it's not going to be a forever war. President is not a warmonger. And I'm sick of these comedian podcasters and these broadcasters who've done nothing but been broadcasters who've done nothing and contributed nothing telling us like they're leftists, like they're part of the Marxist Islamist coalition. No, no, no, no, no, we can't do this and we can't do that and we shouldn't do that. It's really quite preposterous. So we should take everything off the table, everything. And just leave it to the Iranians to decide. Now, that is suicide. That is suicide. And we've got to do what's right for us, for our children, and our grandchildren. That's what we need to do. This guy, Chris Van Hollen, is a liar. He's a psycho. Absolute psycho. He's in the media all the time pushing his pablum. The Democrats have no rational way to stop the Iranians. They've appeased them. They have funded them. They gave him a deal where they'd actually get nuclear weapons in 10 to 15 years. They'd have him right now. For the Iranians, it wasn't fast enough, so they violated that deal. Then we have Biden that lifted sanctions, so they got $140, $180 billion.

to help build up their war machine. So they have no earthly idea on how to deal with this, any of it, quite the opposite. And so everything Trump does, every way Trump does it, whenever Trump does it, is not only a blunder, they say, it's an impeachable offense. And I've about had it up to here. I'm sick and tired of it. We got this one reprobate, Ro Khanna, on MS Now yesterday, talking about how they're going to impeach the president as soon as they take the house. I'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.

Look, the Democrats are telling us repeatedly that if they win the House, they will impeach the president and conduct a reign of terror against all who work for him and all who have work for him and do everything possible to cripple his presidency. But what are we going to do about that? And how are we going to be prepared to confront this? How are we going to prepare, Mr. Producer, no D on there? How are we going to prepare to confront this? I don't expect on-the-spot immediate answers. But I do think we should roll over, we should not, Mr. Producer. I do think we should not roll over and play dead as they burned down the country either. I'm just correcting some of the things I wrote for Mr. Producer there. Sorry about that, Rich, but we should not. And so I'm going to start talking about this more and more. I'm going to start talking about this on Liberty's Voice to get into some specifics that I may not be able to actually get into here on our video podcast, and we'll certainly do it online as well.

But we don't have to roll over and play dead for these Democrats as they try and destroy the Trump presidency. He was elected president of the United States for four years, not until they win back, quote unquote, the House of Representatives. History's on their side, no question. Doesn't mean it'll happen, but we need to be prepared in case it does happen as they're running around making threats. Here's an example. Roy, the conman, Kahana. on MS Now yesterday. This guy's getting increasingly radicalized. He represents part of Silicon Valley. He went to the same law school I did in Temple University in North Philadelphia. He contacted us when he first got elected. He wanted to come on. He was pretending to be a moderate, but he wasn't a moderate. He's a liar. And now, of course, he's not on. Cut one, go. If Democrats win the House and possibly the Senate in November, there's a better than even chance. Donald Trump gets impeached again. Absolutely. He should be impeached now. I mean, he's taken us into a disastrous war, threatening war crimes in Iran in terms of knocking out plants and knocking out elections. First of all, I don't know if this guy's first or second generation, but he's a moron. He's an ignoramus. knocking out power plants, knocking out electricity. We're not carpet bombing and just bombing everything and anything, which is what we've done in other wars, quite frankly. We're not using Agent Orange. We're not burning down cities. We're not dropping nuclear weapons, nuclear bombs. We're not doing any of that stuff, which we've done in the past. We're trying to prevent that. We're trying to prevent that from the other side. So he says here, he talks about disastrous wars, threatening war crimes, knocking out people's plants and knocking out electricity. This guy is a thug. He's a complete jackass. And they have plans already. He can't keep his mouth shut, but he's made it clear. They're going to try and impeach the president if they take over the House. And if they have a one-vote majority, that's what they'll do. Because they've destroyed the whole notion of the impeachment clause in the House and in the Senate. Both. Notice, Majorcas is okay. They blocked that in the Senate. They didn't even have a trial. They call it a summary judgment, which is not in the Constitution. They'll do anything. They'll do anything. I despise the Democrat Party of today. Despise it. And punks like this. Go ahead. And the Democrats will impeach him once we take back the House and should impeach him for all the things he's done. And depending on the Senate, he may face conviction if we get the 60, especially if his numbers keep going down. If his numbers keep going down, you know, the polls. And that's the basis for impeachment, of course, that and a thousand other things. High crimes and misdemeanors. Just because you disagree with the president on the issue of war. Just because you don't have the votes to stop it. That is, the power of the purse.

Just because you scream violations of which there have been none of the Constitution or even the War Powers Act, which is unconstitutional, you don't impeach a president for that. Was Lyndon Johnson impeached over that? No, not at all. Was Nixon? No. Was John Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? No. Was Truman impeached for the two atomic bonds? No. And I can go on and on. This guy wrote Kahana. I don't know if he's American citizen or not. I hear he is, otherwise he couldn't be a house member, but he doesn't act like it. He acts like a mouthpiece for the enemy. He acts like a mouthpiece for the Islamists. He acts like a mouthpiece for Hamas, Islamic jihad, Muslim Brotherhood, Kair, Iran. That's right, I said it. And maybe his sorry ass should be expelled from the House of Representatives. And of course, the enemy loves jerks like this. They use the comments of jerks like this to spread their propaganda as he gives aid and comfort to the enemy. That's right, gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Then there's Chris Van Hollen in the Senate. Chris Van Hollen in the Senate. What a P-O-S this guy is. Cut four, go. They're nowhere near any kind of ballistic missile that can reach the United States. So this was all a family. Yeah, so let's wait around until they are. Huh? That's a great idea. Let's wait around until they're very powerful that they have ballistic missiles that can reach the United States. How we know, I don't know. They have one that could go 2,000 miles, and we didn't know about that. But don't worry. Chris Van Hollen says we got to wait. Even though they tell us what they want to do with their ballistic missiles, even though they tell us they want to put nuclear warheads on their ballistic missiles, Chris Van Hollina, Maryland, Democrat, says we should wait. Wait for what? Wait for what? What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? And notice how cold-blooded these bastards are. They don't care 50,000 Iranian people slaughtered in two or three days that they're young people. They could give a damn. Instead, they're trashing Israel while they're promoting policies that protect Iran. That's the new Democrat Party, America. stands with Iran, stands against Israel, but more than anything else, stands against the United States. We should wait, according to this genius senator. And what if he's wrong? What if he's wrong? What if this bum is wrong? Oh, well, we'll do an after-action report, but nobody will be around. Nobody. We're surrounded by Munchkins. We're surrounded by appeasers. By people who hate our country. They would rather hate our country and see it attack than Donald Trump be a victor as commander-in-chief. Go ahead.

by the President of the United States to try to justify his actions while Americans are hurting here at home. We've lost 13 of our service members, hundreds wounded. Oh, this is a guy. Did he open his big fat mouth when we lost 13 of our service members with Joe Biden surrendering on Afghanistan? Did he? Did he? I don't remember it. Did he go on every damn TV show? Did he? Complaining about how Biden did that? Not a word. Not a word. Nothing. Now he's the defender of the military, especially those we've lost. Did he say anything when Biden looked at his watch and got tired? When that plane came to Delaware, to Dover, Delaware with the caskets, nothing. He didn't say anything. But if we're going to talk about people dying, what has he done about the people who are killed in Baltimore? What is this piece of, you know what, done about the people who are killed in Baltimore every single weekend? What has he done about that? Not a damn thing. Nothing. But he says he's worried about casualties. These are demagogues. They are the worst of the worst. They are the lowest of the low. We've reached a point in America. We've reached a point that we've never reached before with this party opposite, the Democrat Party. The scum of the earth. We're going to impeach the commander chief. Were they going to compete them in the middle of a war? They would if they could. What do these people stand for? What have they done that's good for the country? Name one thing. Bring in tens of millions of illegal aliens? Many of whom are killers and rapists and pedophiles and God knows what else? Taking people's jobs? Taking up their apartment space? Is that a good idea? Trying to prevent ICE from deporting them? Is that a good idea? Shutting down our airports and TSA? Is that a good idea? What the hell good are these people? What are they doing? to make the nation a better nation. What are they doing for the middle class? You, Mr. and Mrs. America. How have they improved your lives? Before Trump came in, remember, Trump's only been in office 14 months in his second term. They drove up prices everywhere. They spent money like drunken Marxists. They created huge inflation that we're still trying to recover from. They pushed out billions of dollars to left-wing front groups, overseas to left-wing front groups, pissing away our money left and right. What did they do? And they have promised that they're going to raise taxes on you. Like this Spasberger, the governor of Virginia, who's destroying the Commonwealth of Virginia. One governor. who lied her way into office claiming to be a moderate because she worked at the CIA. Now it looks like she worked at the KGB. Taxes everywhere, 52 new taxes on hardworking Virginians. Eleven congressional seats, the Supreme Court of Virginia in 2021 created the congressional map. Now they have a vote taking place right now.

with Obama running ads. Vote yes. Vote yes. So we have real integrity in our voting system, they claim. And if they get what they want, there'll be 10 Democrats and one Republican. See, they don't care if the franchise is lost if you're Republican. It's okay. They want felons to have it who are still in prison. Remember Bernie Sanders was asked the question. You would allow somebody who's a mass murder. He's on death row to vote. Yes, I would. I definitely would. It's the billionaire. It's the billionaire. So in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania. In Virginia, they're letting felons vote. The Republicans will be disenfranchised. Oh, that's okay. Only certain people can't be disenfranchised. Wait a minute. Shouldn't there be equality across the board? No, of course not. Then they're going to change the Supreme Court and pack it like a poll up bureau. Even the Democrats in the 30s when FDR tried that, they're the ones who rose up and stopped them because they controlled Congress. Not today. They're all in. Change the Supreme Court. Change the electoral college. change the congressional districts, change the voting system, oh yeah. Add four more Democrat senators out of D.C. and Puerto Rico, they got it all figured out, America. They've got it all figured out. And impeach anybody who's a Republican who's ever president. That's it. Every Republican president has had to face something like this, but not like Trump. Case of Trump, it's just overwhelming what they try to do. This is a war on you. I wrote the book, the Democrat Party hates America. Oh, why would you say such a thing? Why would you write a book like that? It's the longest book I've ever written. I could have written it twice as long. The Democrat Party hates America. How could you say that? Chapter and verse, baby, right from its very founding up to today. I'm not encouraging you to buy it. No, it's an older book of mine, but... The Democrat Party hates America, and it's demonstrating every single time that it hates America. But of course, it wraps it in. We're doing this for the people. We're screwing up the airlines and the lines for security for the people. Don't you know? We're bringing in foreigners by the tens of millions, including would-be terrorists and murders and the rest. For the people. We're driving up costs. Oh, yes, with massive inflation. to reward all of our Democrat left-wing cook friends for the people. And then they have the you know what's the Cajunas. What about affordability, they ask? Affordability. I'll be right back. Mark Levin.

A meaningful season is approaching for millions of families at time to reflect on resilience, renewal, and their journey from hardship to hope. For those observing Passover or Easter, it's a moment to gather, to remember where we come from, and to look forward to brighter days. But this year, many in Israel will mark the season under the strain of conflict, air raid sirens, families racing for shelter, elderly men and women unsure where to turn. Daily life has become tense and unpredictable. and parents do their best to comfort their children through nights filled with uncertainty. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right now. delivering food, emergency aid, supporting bomb shelter readiness, and caring for vulnerable seniors, including Holocaust survivors, and a season centered on hope and renewal. Your support of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews can make a real difference for those facing fear and instability. To lend a hand, please call 888-585-I-F-C-J. That's 8885-I-FCJ, or visit Levine for thefellowship.org. That's L-E-V-I-N for thefellowship.org, folks. This is absolutely crucial, and your gift is tax deductible. You know, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know about you, but I'm not going to sit here quietly while these thugs... These thugs attempt to destroy our country. I'm not going to sit here quietly while these thugs attempt to destroy the Trump presidency. and all that's been gained. I'm not going to sit here quietly while the Democrat Party that has already been destroying our nation with open borders, the refusal to deport, the importation of dangerous Islamists, the destruction of our currency, the attack on the private sector, the mandamis of the world, the Talibs of the world. No, no, no, no, no. We will rally here. We will have our national town hall meetings here. We will confront this. I told you, I'm mission-oriented. I have been every single second I've been behind this microphone. I am an activist for our country. I've been since I've been a teenager. And I'll be damned if it's going to stop now. And let the woke-right neo-fascist isolationist pukes. anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semites, tries they might to stop me. It's not going to work. I've exposed every damn one of them for who they are and what they are. Every one of them. I will not be intimidated. I can't be intimidated. I can't be intimidated. I can be threatened. And I actively am being threatened. But that's not going to work either. And I'm not going to get into it. That's not going to work either. None of it's going to work. None of it. We are here together. We stand shoulder to shoulder. You, me, Mr. and Mrs. America. We're not giving up this country. We're not giving up our faiths. We're not giving up our values and beliefs to anybody.

I don't care how many elections they win. I've only just begun. We'll be right back. This segment of the podcast is exclusively sponsored by Pure Talk.

Deep in the bowels of the 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, 877-381, 381, 3811. So we've done. I don't know, maybe 12 or 13 of our video podcasts, Liberty's Voice. And I look at how many viewers there are, and you know what we find America? You want Mark to talk about history, American history, and lots of it. And in a way that's not only understandable, but intriguing. and things you may not have been taught or you may not know, you may not have read. You also want me to talk about current events and try and link history to current events, and you also want me to spend a little bit of time pushing back on some of these crazy bastards who are podcasters. I'm going to do it all with an emphasis on American history because it is the 250th year. Now, if you listen to a podcast two or three ago, my video cast you would know that really this 250th anniversary is a celebration of the signing of the declaration of the declaration of independence our independence actually didn't occur for seven and a half years that's how long the revolutionary war was And it didn't start in 1776, even though that was the consensus position of all the colonies. And that wasn't easy. That wasn't easy to get all the colonies agreed because they all had different interests. And some of them had closer ties to Britain than others, including economic ties. I'll give you an example. Georgia and South Carolina. They grew a lot of cotton. And the main purchaser of cotton was the monarchy, the country of Britain, and businesses within Britain. So when war broke out, when war broke out and all the colonies were united in 1776, About half the population of South Carolina and Georgia were not happy with it, Mr. Producer. They were saying to themselves, what the hell? Boston, Philadelphia, New York, what's that to do with us? There's nothing to do with us. It has nothing to do with our colony of South Carolina and Georgia. There were others too. Others too. So you literally had, in some of these cotton growing areas,

half the population. That supported Britain. They were loyalists to Britain. Now, that didn't mean they all picked up arms on behalf of Britain, but many did. So one of the things that took place during the Revolutionary War was not just colonists fighting the British, but colonists in some places fighting each other. Did you know that, Rich? It's true. So you're going to learn these things in a whole lot more. on Liberty's voice. So we have a beautiful start to this video podcast. It's very important. Now, I want to juxtapose that for my magnificent radio audience here. There will never be and is nothing like conservative talk radio, period. Never be anything like it. That's why I love it. And that's why a lot of these people who do podcasts can't make it on radio. They can't do three hours. They have to have endless conglina guests. Not one here and there. Just endless. They have to drop the F-bomb left and right, which you're not allowed to do on radio. You know, you've got to learn to conduct yourself with a little bit of class and so forth and so on. No, I'm doing both. Not cursing. but a video podcast and conservative talk radio and our Fox program. But I want you to hear two guys that started out pretty much as comedians, and they've mostly failed as comedians. Then many years ago, they started their podcasts, and they started modestly, and they've grown into very big podcasts now, including a lot of foreign viewers and others. They figured out various angles and approaches. You know, they actually track that stuff. They can actually track what rates and what doesn't. And they find that if you're kind of tough talker, if you're kind of anti-establishment, I don't mean in a serious way, I just mean in kind of a weird cultural way. I mean, there's certain groups and constituents out there of audiences that you can appeal to. You can appeal to foreign audiences as well, and they do. You can just kind of be a cowboy, but they're not really cowboys. They try to be. Just be different. Unpredictable. Trump one day, Bernie Sanders, the next. Yeah, that's the ticket. So I thought I'd give you 35 seconds of this since a lot of people who listen to radio don't listen to these other guys. Theo Vaughn is a comedian. He's the number six biggest podcaster, somebody told me. I don't know. Joe Rogan was a comedian. He was also a host of a show called Fear Factor, which was kind of infantile. But nonetheless, a lot of people liked it. And Ali's a color commentator with the UFC. He's been there a while. I've watched it for a long time. I've watched the MMA a long time. He's very good at that. But he's not real smart. Theo Vaughn is really dumb. I just want to give you 35 seconds on this. 35 seconds on what you're missing. You sure you bleeped it all out, Rich?

I mean, Rich is putting bleeps in there, left and right, left and right, left and right. He's putting bleeps in there for the F word, just so you know. Cut six, go. What do you think is going to happen? You think we're going to be okay? That's Rogan. I hope so. Of course. I don't know. Do you think about it? I'm confused. I can't believe we went to this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like, this can't be true. And what about Lebanon now? I know. Israel's invaded low. Yeah. And it's like, just fucking stop it. What do you need? Well, they're trying to, supposedly, they're trying to stop the terrorists. That's crazy, though. You're the fucking terrorists. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you want to stop them, stand in front of the fucking mirror. And start there. So this is the level of intelligence, which means none. See what I'm saying, Mr. Producer? Does this not like the dumbest stuff you've ever heard? You like it, huh? No, it's crazy, right? So substantively, they're completely dim-witted. We know why Israel's in Lebanon, because they've only shot about 50,000 rockets at them. The Lebanese army can't control them. They want to control them. They can't. Hezbollah is an offshoot of the Islamist regime in Iran. And Hezbollah has slaughtered Israelis. They've slaughtered Americans, 241 Marines and soldiers and sailors in the barracks, as well as others. And these guys know nothing, absolutely nothing about anything. What does Israel want? Peace. Any country fired that many rockets into our country. I think one or two, they'd be blown off the face of the earth. That's not even my point. This is the level of discussion that they have. This is number one and number six. Hey man. Hey man. It's like Cheech and Chong, right? Kich and Chong with bongs. Hey man, man, hey man. Hey, what do they want? Looking to, hey man, what's looking to me? Hey man, hey man, what's going on here? People are watching. Oh, this is cool. One more time, Mr. Producer. Number one and number six in the country. Number one and number six. Go. What do you think is going to happen? You think we're going to be okay? I hope so. Of course. I don't know. Do you think about it? I'm confused. I can't believe we went to this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like, this can't be true. And what about Lebanon now? I know. Israel's invaded a little. Yeah. And it's like just fucking stopping. What do you need? Well, they're trying to, supposedly, they're trying to stop the terrorists. That's crazy, though. You're the fucking terrorists. Doesn't it sound like they're high, Rich? I'm not saying they are. I would never make that accusation. Hey, man. Man, where? F in there? What do they want, man? I don't know. Go ahead. Staying in front of the mirror. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, stand in front of the mirror. He had to put out an apology about something he said about our American military troops. There may be some of these politicians, says Theo Von, the comedian. They're all comedians. And they're all not funny. Yeah, man.

Maybe if these politicians, if their kids went to war, maybe they wouldn't start these wars. And then he took a lot of hell. Then he corrected. He said, no, I don't mean our military. No, no, no, no. I understand. I'm talking about the politicians, the elitists. And I had to remind Mr. 14 negative IQ. And that's on a good day. We have an all-volunteer military. Our brave heroes in uniform men and women made a choice. And they don't want the pity of drug-addled comedians or what sound like drug-addled comedians. I've certainly never made that allegation, that charge. That would be wrong. They want our unity and support. and our thanks. That's what they want. I talk to a lot of them. I won't get into specifics, but my wife is on the board of an organization, a voluntary organization, a volunteer organization, that celebrates the young men and women who in high school are early in college sign up. volunteer to be in our military. They do this all over the country. Pete Hegseth's been there, Tom Cotton's been there, other great patriots, too long to mention. These guys know nothing about them. They know nothing about them. They don't talk to them. They don't support them. They don't give any of their multi-millions of dollars. tax deductible to support them they don't do a damn thing hey man well hey we started that war i'm saying to myself hey when we start bombing around like this can't be true man no no man oh yeah if this and if that and then there's lebanon man can you believe that they're attacking lebanon now what are they trying to get out of lebanon what are they trying to get out of lebanon well they say you know they say they're trying to stop the terror you you kidding me man effing terrorists they're the terrorists they're the ones attacking Lebanon man hey that's number six and number one number one number one I'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. 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. Hey, do you see this, Zohran Mamdani? Put aside a statement today for Easter. Open your microphone, Mr. Producer. You're a Catholic. You celebrate Easter? Yes. Isn't Easter all about Jesus Christ? Yes, it is. And what is it about specifically? His death and resurrection. His death and resurrection. That's what Easter's all about. And Christians celebrate Christ's resurrection. And so he puts out this statement. And he never mentions Jesus Christ. Now, I understand I'm Jewish. We do have Christians in my family. And I asked them about it, and they said it's appalling. Is it appalling, Mr. Reducer? Absolutely. But it's intentional. It's intentional. So the Muslim mayor of New York City.

What is Friday called? Good Friday, right? I think I know more about this than a lot of Christians. So you have Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and then you have Sunday, which is Easter. He puts out a statement on Good Friday, I think it was this morning, and he doesn't mention Jesus Christ. And what if the Pope's going to comment on that, Mr. Producer? I don't think so. But this is all intentional, folks. This is the way this man operates. His wife is a terrorist-supporting lunatic. That's right. I said it because she is. She's a terrorist-supporting lunatic. And so are many of the people he puts around him. Like this guy, Hasan Piker. Isn't that a guy's name? One another one of these podcasters, Mr. Producer. Hasan Piker. There's another scumbag. Or Sank. Let's that fat slob's name again. Sank Yuger. And, uh... What's Mahan? What is that? Folks, I'm trying to keep up. I really am. Medi Hassan! Ah, there's the three Islamist stooges right there. But there's more than three, of course. And they're all invited to and participate in. At least two of them did, but I think the fact guy did too. In Zohran Mamdani's inauguration party. Oh yeah, just fabulous. Now one room, you could name a number of terrorist supporting people who are here in our country, in our country. Part of the enemy within. Not because they're Muslims, because they're Islamists who love Hamas, who undermine our troops and our president, the middle of a war. They have much in common with kind of these dopeheads. This guy, Theo Vaughn and Joe Rogan. I mean, Rogan's good at the UFC. He should stick to what he knows, but he makes millions and millions sounding like a moron. He just does. And by the way, do it, baby. I'm all for it. It's America. But we can respond to it, too. All right, we got a lot more important things to do. 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. 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.

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 Levin, tough as hell. That's why I like Mark Levin. And I'm not sure a lot of people like him. He's tough as hell. But I like him. I love him. Call in now. 877-381-3811. I think America, one of the greatest things I could have ever done, and it wasn't planned. Spontaneous was to put my arm around the president at that White House Hanukkah party. Don't you think, Mr. Reducer? The left and the neo-fascists are very upset about this, especially the neo-fascists. They say that shows control. Now it shows deep friendship and respect, actually. He's my friend, and I like to think I'm his friend. And it wouldn't be the first time I did that, or he did it to me. My arm was not around his neck.

Taking control, the Jew, showing who's in charge. This guy, Nick Fuentes, Nick Fuentes. I'm convinced Nick Fuentes has both genitalia, Mr. Bedoucer. The female and the male genitalia. And what's interesting about the neo-fascist, woke right, is their obsession with genitalia. You got Megan Keller. She's obsessed with Genitalia. Not her own, mind you. Micro. I mean, Micro works with her, but I'm a gentleman. I won't mention that. And then you got Nick Fuentes. Nick Fuentes. Oh, people claim he may be, you know, gay. I don't care if he's gay or not. Why do I care? The guy looks like a clown. He's trying to grow a Hitler mustache. I noticed that, but that pre-bubescent problem he has, he can't grow a mustache. It looks like peach fuzz under his nose. I don't know what's going on there. But I'm convinced he's a tofer. Yes, a tofer. He doesn't have the transition. He is the transition. Yeah. So white supremacists, very weird. So white supremacist, but I've pointed out before, his name is Nick Fuentes. That's Mexican. And he's finally confessed that it's his mother or father and one or the other on their side. They're Mexican. That's fine. What's all this white supremacist stuff? And that everybody else should be deported. Well, there's some people who should be deported. And maybe he's one of them. Maybe he's one of them. Now, he wants you to vote Democrat, he says, and then if the Democrats win, he's leaving the country. I mean, that really is an incentive to vote Democrat, but I won't do that. Then he says his heroes are Hitler and Stalin. Then he talks about women in rape. That's right. He trashes Christians, he trashes Jews. Now he talks up Iran. He hopes Iran wins the war. Now you heard me play the two other morons. This guy, Thuantas, little Adolf. He's not only a racist, a bigot, a Christian, hater, Jew, America hater. He's stupid.

By the way, Mr. Producer, no offense. I only saw... You see the size of this guy's hands? I mean, it's like he's 12 feet tall. And yet, he's about 4 feet 6 inches tall. That's it. But you know. You know, everybody. You know. Yeah, you know. I think he still lives in Mommy's basement. And he wears a suit. Like he's gone to a funeral all the time. He goes to a funeral. Then he tries to be cool. He wears a hoodie. And he got, this guy's a punk. Let's he 27 years old. He's contributed so much to society. He's done so many great things. So many great things. My suggestion is, little fella, squirt. If you love Adolf, dress like Adolf. Do the whole thing, the uniform, wear the badges, you know, do the whole thing. Put on the black boots, the brown shirt, do some marching around the table, do the salute. You can do it. I know you can do it. You probably watch those films day in and day out. Isn't he the guy that talked about cookies, six million cookies in ovens? Did he speak about that, Mr. Producer? That was him? Wow, is he a comedian, too? God, what rock did he crawl out from under? I'm sure his parents are proud. Yes, that's my Nick. That's my little Nicky over there, my little Nicky. That's our boy, I mean, girl, I mean, whatever. Our little Nicky.

He used to like to bake, Little Nicky. He did bake cookies, but I don't know what happened to him. I don't know what happened. He did fall down the stairs and bang his head. And I really believe that's about the time he started with the, you know, the Jew stuff. But now it's expanded, blacks and women and Hispanics. Now he hates America. He stands with the Iranians. He's stabbing the president in the back. Oh, my good. What happened to our little Nikki? What happened, Nick? We raised you, gave you everything you needed. Look how you turned out. You can't decide if you're a Hitlerian or you're a Stalinist. You can't make decisions. You don't know what to do. You're focused on genitalia, both of yours and so forth? Nick, you're embarrassing the family. Embarrassing the family. He's a white supremacist wannabe. You know, if you're part minority, whether it's Jewish or Mexican, he can't really define yourself as a white supremacist, meaning sort of Aryan. And yet he does anyway. He does anyway. Here's a guy who lost his cookies. Talking about cookies. Lost his cookies a long time ago. Yes. He's only 27. But he looks like he's 13. He's stuck in that pre-bubescent period. I feel bad for him. I'm sure there's medicine that he could take to fix this. I don't know. There's enough doctors out there. Maybe he ought to go on the Joe Rogan show. They can show him the ropes. Maybe they can smoke pot together. I don't know. Does he smoke pot? I don't know. I didn't say he did. I'm not accusing him. Not, not doing that. No, I wouldn't do that. We're filled with such fantastic people with microphones. It's just unbelievable. And you see the class you have in radio seriously. You see? Because any munchkin, any two genitalia, Hitler, Stalin supporting, misogynist, Jew hater, Christian, hater, American hater, they can talk behind a microphone if it doesn't take much. They have their mother's basement. They can put on a funeral suit. They can dim the lights. They can wave their hands around. They can try and grow a Hitler mustache and just keep talking. You know, when I was thinking, he reminds me some ways of a very weird indie Rooney. You know, you know, you know. He really does. You know. Whatever. I'll bet he's a blast, though, the guy. I really do. I bet he's a blast at dinner. Did he go out to dinner? I don't know that he goes out anywhere, actually. Maybe he can't. Maybe he doesn't do that. I don't know. But if he did, I'll bet he's hilarious. Guy brings some food. Hey! Yeah! What's up? Hey, over there? Yeah, what's up? Are you a blank?

He get his little, you know what, banged around, head knocked off his shoulders, wouldn't last out in the community. Difficulty socializing. Little shrimp, tough guy behind a microphone. But I digress. In fact, whenever I mention him, I digress. It's okay. I'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. 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.

Now, we all know who Eric Swalwell is. We know he's not well. We know he's a sicko in many respects. And yet, and yet he wants to be governor at California. I ask the people of California. Not the patriotic people, the Democrats. You can't do better than this guy? Apparently you can. You got Newskam. You've got Harris. You got this guy. You got two other reprobates. You got all kinds of weirdos. They just figure one party state, who can stop him? Who can stop him? And here's a guy with Fang Fang or Fang, a communist spy, and he just moves so long like he didn't do a damn thing.

He's a lot smaller than I thought. I saw him on Capitol Hill. And, of course, I'm a lot bigger than people realized. Six feet, 230. Oh, he's fat. No, we call it muscle. Then we missed if it is. Well, how would you know? Anyway, here he is on MS Now yesterday. Cut 15. Go. Did Pam Bondi, or anyone in her orbit, leak information to you, Congressman? No, the Attorney General did not tip us off. No one in her orbit tipped us off. It was FBI agents who tipped off the Washington Post because they saw this effort by Kash Patel and Donald Trump to try and interfere in a California governor's race. Now, if people have a right to know what a complete sleazeball, disgusting POS that you actually are, before they cast their vote. Are you afraid of that, Congressman? I guess you are. Bonnie didn't tip anybody off about this. She has a lot of integrity. I'll be right back

Now, broadcasting them from the underground command post. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. It actually works 877-381-3811 after our first segment here. Our friend Colonel Alan West will be with us. I'll talk about rescue operations. I've got to believe, and I feel the gentleman will be rescued, and one already was. And nobody better to walk us through that than Alan. So he's a good guy. You know, he always treated my father with the greatest of respect because he knew he served in the Army when we went down there and campaigned for him. Just a lovely guy, and then about a year or so ago, he and my wife, Julie, and others appeared at an event, and they were on stage and patriotic as ever, and some of the people in the audience got very frustrated because they were liberals. It was kind of fun to watch, in my humble opinion. But that said... He's a good man and he's got a wonderful wife as well and I'm a big Allen West fan. I'm a big Allen West fan. What's the house is going on here? Look at this. Oh my goodness. No, we don't want to get into that. No, we don't want to get into that. Do we have a younger Chuck Schumer, Mr. Producer, or not?

In 1996, Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer, whatever, Chuck Schumer, all these years I've been on W.A.B.C., you know, Chuck Schumer has never come on the program. And in 1996, when he didn't have that corn row plugged into his head, but he was a congressman. And he's never known anything but government. welfare. He was an assemblyman when he came right out of college, right out of law school, I should say. And then he got elected to the House, and then he got elected to the Senate. He beat Alphonse Tamado was actually a pretty damn good senator. And now look what we have here. Chuckie Schmucky Chuck Schumer. So 1996, which is what, 30 years ago, Mr. Producer. He walks to the floor of the house. And he says the following. Cut 19, go. Social Security card is used from one end of America to the other as an identification card right now. Who are we kidding? If you want to pass a law and says it shouldn't be, I would ask the chairman and the distinguished minority member of the Social Security meeting the committee to pass that law, but let's let's admit the truth. Everywhere people go, they're asked for a Social Security card. In fact, one way to prove you're a bona fide person who can have a job is to ask for a driver's license and a Social Security card. This is an anti-fraud amendment. All over where we go, people say, well, why can't you stop? illegal immigrants or others from coming here. And the number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits against the law because of fraud. And here, the gentleman from Florida has put together the most effective anti-fraud measure we can find without it changing the actions of the government one bit. And we find all this opposition. Ladies and gentlemen of this chamber, what I worry about is that this bill, which started out with good intentions, whether you agree with it or disagree with it, is going to end up being the same kind of thing that the public gets angry with us on. We say we're doing something and we do nothing. Because every time someone makes a rational and small proposal to get something done, People say, well, what about this hypothetical, that hypothetical, et cetera. I urge support of this amendment. If you believe you want to stop fraud in immigration, you have no choice but to support this amendment. I like that Chuck Schumer, Mr. Producer, 30 years ago. Aren't these people sickening and pathetic? They're disgusting when you listen to them today. They know right from wrong. They know what needs to be done. He's talking about identifications and putting an end to illegal immigration and so forth and so on. And then he complains about the opposition. He complains the kind of arguments they make. And now he's one of them. Now he's one of them. I played you Diane Feinstein. God rest her soul. I played you Harry Reid. God bless his soul. And now I play you Chuck Schumer who has no soul.

And they're not alone. There's a whole conga line of Democrats that used to take this position. But then they figured out, just like their union bosses figured out, that the way you win is to open the border, is to bring foreigners into the country, to get them registered. Their children, birthright citizenship. That's not anywhere. Oh, my God, I need to mention this. Life, Liberty, and Levine tomorrow night and Sunday night are unbelievable. Unbelievable. Don't forget to set your DVRs, particularly Sunday night if you're having Easter dinner or something like that. Don't forget to set your DVRs. You're not going to want to miss this. This is going to the Cable Hall of Fame, both the Saturday and Sunday show. We have the first two shows in the Cable Hall of Fame. You know where that is, Mr. Producer? We're going to open it in the Obama Library and, you know, and Mosque. I think that's what we'll do. But it's going to go to the Cable Hall of Fame. These two shows are unbelievable. So set your DVRs 8 p.m. Eastern, Saturday and Sunday on Fox. I know you're going to love these shows. I know you are. I know you are, but what am I? You know what I mean. So there is Truckee-Munkie Chuck Schumer. Oh, yeah, all in, securing the border, deporting illegal aliens. Now he's leaning the charge against ICE, wants to destroy ICE, shut down the TSA. Trump steps in and says, I'll pay the TSA if they won't pay the TSA.

Yeah, that's their attitude now because they see Democrats, Democrats, Democrats, as far as the eye can see, they can't convince American citizens. And so this is the entire purpose of all this, of all of it. I think I'm going to post this wonderful piece by my colleague at Fox, Guy Benson, the Gaza genocide lie has been debunked by an unlikely source. Who's the unlikely source? Anybody know? Anybody read this? I think I'm going to post it. You should read it. It'll be on all my social sites. The unlikely source is Hamas. Hamas. We've talked about this before, but I like the way Guy really lays it out here. Very, very important. We'll post that as well. We'll be right back.

You know, it's been a long time, and he is a dear friend Alan West, entire colonel, Army, great man, great friend of the family. How are you, Alan? I'm doing great, Mark, and I pray you had a wonderful and happy Passover and give my regards to Julie. I will, and I hope you have a wonderful Easter, too, my friend. Yes, sir, thank you. I wanted to get your insight, this crew member from this F-15, What kind of things are we likely doing now to find him? Well, without a doubt, both of those, the pilot and the WISO, the weapon systems operator, they have transponders on them. They are encrypted, and as a matter of fact, they even have a transponder on the congestion seat. So you have a combat search and rescue that is always standing by, ready to take action any time we have aircraft that are up. So they immediately knew that this aircraft was going down. They immediately knew the area in which those pilots and the whizzo went down on. And I think without a doubt, you have the capability to cordone off that area, secure that area. And we already know that they went in and got the one pilot, and there was an engagement with the combat search and rescue people on the ground. And these are Air Force Special Operators. These are not just your run-of-the-mill type of airmen. So they're prepared to do this as what they train for. And now we're looking for the second crew member. And again, I think that they have. sealed off that area and he will be found he or she they will be found there's no doubt about it and apparently it's in a very uh rural kind of area and so forth and so yeah so it's not and that's a good thing right yeah Yeah, that's a good thing. It's a rural area. It's a mountainous area. There is some ability to have some covering concealment. But this is one of the reasons why you have the Marine Expeditionary Unit Special Operations capable out there. And you have other special operators like Rangers because they provide that art of cordon so that the combat search and rescue can go in and they can do what's necessary. Focus on retrieving and rescuing that pilot. Now, what do you make of the casualties so far in this military operation? They've actually been quite low, even though obviously every casualty is. Yeah. It's very sad. I really want to put things in perspective. You know, my first combat operation was Desert Shield Desert Storm. And I believe in the 43, 44 days of Desert Shield Desert Storm, we lost 42 aircraft, basically about an aircraft a day. We have flown over, what, 15,000 combat sorties. That means mission strikes.

And this is the first time we have had an aircraft go down by enemy fire. So we have really upped our game and understanding suppression of enemy air defense and how to attack enemy air defense. And our pilots are second to none. They know their tactics and techniques. And we need to understand that that pilot on the ground has been through what we call sear training, survival, evasion, rescue, not rescue, but escape training. that prepares them for this type of operation if they're down. And remember, we went through this in Bosnia with Captain Scott O'Grady, who was shot down from his S-16, you know, a few years back. Now, the president's getting kind of annoyed at the media, the way they're covering this. Are you as well? Of course I am, because, you know, you can have disagreements philosophically or ideologically with the president. You know, let me just put this in perspective. I came on active duty at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, you know, drove through Keygate there on October the 30th of 1983. That was seven days after the Beirut barracks bombing, where 241 marine sailors and a soldier lost their lives thanks to Hezbollah, and we know Hezbollah is a proxy army of Iran. So I came on active duty. knowing this threat that Iran presented. And without a doubt, all of us young artillery lieutenants, we were itching at the you know what to go out and get some payback against Iran. It has taken us 47 years to finally stand up and do something. It's the number one sponsor of Islamic terrorism across the world, not in the United States, across the world. So to have the media and people here in America, imagine if we had a media that was speaking out against the men who hit the beaches and jumped into the drops. zones 82 years ago in Normandy. I mean, it's unconscionable. And you got a lot of these podcasters who are saying, you know, if these politicians had children in these wars, they wouldn't go to war so often. And I'm thinking to myself, First of all, Benjamin Netanyahu's brother, as an example, was killed by a sniper's bullet at Entebbe. You've got the ambassador to the United States from Israel today. His eldest son lost his life as one of the first to go into Gaza as the commander of a unit there, and the building was booby-trapped, and it blew up and killed him. I can go on and on and on about them who they keep mocking. And in our country, it's an all-volunteer military, right? Yes. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And look, it goes back. My father served in World War II. My older brother, he was not drafted to Vietnam. He volunteered. My father-in-law did two combat tours of duty in Vietnam. I was in Desert Shield Desert Storm Iraq, and even after retiring, went to Afghanistan and my nephew. So, you know, the thing is that we understand what we are signing up for when we raise our right hand to support and defend the Constitution in the United States of America. We don't want to be seeing as victims. want to go out and claim victory for our country. And Carl von Klausowitz wrote about the paradoxical trinity of the will of the military, the will of the people, and the will of the government to come together to successfully prosecute a war or any combat operation. We should all be together and understand that Iran has the blood of Americans on his hands and will continue to seek to kill Americans. I think Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are the first time, believe them. When they chant death to America and death to Israel, we should believe them.

There's a Congressman Ro Khanna. And he said yesterday on this crazy network, MS now, that Trump should be impeached now. He says, I mean, he's taking us into disastrous war, threatening war crimes in Iran in terms knocking out people's plants and knocking out electricity. What do you make of this guy? Well, I guess he would also think that Harry Truman should be guilty of war crimes for what happened. He was a Democrat. But where was Ro Khanna when Joe Biden in that debacle called the withdrawal from Afghanistan resulted in the lives of 13 Americans being killed for no reason, no reason whatsoever? Working with the Taliban to provide outer security cordon there at Hamid Karzai International Airport. The hypocrisy of these leftists, these Marxists, as you so aptly call them, it's laughable. And they're the ones that should be impeached. They're the ones that are fomenting sedition and treason in our country. Yeah, but I fear if they win the midterms and, you know, history is on their side, but God willing, they won't, this is what we're going to get day in and day. And night. This is the subpoenas and on and on and on. Here's the president trying to protect the American people from these suicide nuclear missile bombers. And this is what he gets for it from the Democrats who trying to stop him every step of the way and undermine him. It's pretty bad for that party, you know, you think? Well, I don't think we should be calling them Democrats anymore. Let's call them based upon their ideology. And you've written about this so many times. These are Marxists. These are socialists. These are statists. These are communists. And they have joined together with the Islamists because they both share in one thing, totalitarianism and tyranny and the degradation of individual rights and the elevation of the collective. What does Zohran Mamdani say it? We're going to replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. If that's not Marxist, you tell me what it is. Crazy, man. Crazy. Yeah. Are you concerned about, and you're in Texas, you're concerned about these segregated communities with these Islamists and these imams where they're using Sharia law? They're popping up all over the country. Yeah, absolutely right. And I think that we have to start to understand that Islam, which in and of itself, the word means submission, this is a totalitarian, theocratic political system. And they are telling us that they will not subject themselves to our Constitution. They don't believe that anything is above the Quran or Sharia law. And so we do see an attempt of Islamification here in the state of Texas and across the country. But remember that the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest Islamic terrorism, case in the United States of America history came out of right here in Texas in 2008 so this is not something new this is something been going on for quite some time and I wish that we had leaders that when they say that they're banning the the Muslim Brotherhood or care as foreign terrorist organizations they will follow up on it and not allow these organizations to exist

Well, I want to thank you, Colonel. Best to your wife, your beautiful family, and have a wonderful, wonderful Easter. God bless and God be with you. And thank you for having me on your show, Mark. I've got to have you more often. Same with TV. Colonel, you take care of yourself. Be safe. We'll be right back. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for MintMobil. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's 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-month 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. When the going gets tough, a tough get. Mark Levin, call him now at 877381-381-3811. Jim, Oakland, New Jersey on WABC. Jim, how are you? How are you, Mark? Okay. Happy Passover. You too. Happy Easter. I was a Democrat for years. Yeah. A 560 team, sir. And I could never vote for a Democrat ever again. I look at Congress. I look at half of them. They look like Batman villains. I don't know what's going on in the world. You're right about that, Jim. It's crazy, Mark. First of all, I love the Teamsters. You know, when I was in the Reagan administration, the Teamsters backed him in 80 and 84. And he was a big fan of the Teamsters, was Reagan. what's that in Ridgewood in booket you didn't hear that when you met I met you in bookends in Ridgewood and you told me that and you told me that yep yeah and really Union guys and I'm not talking about necessarily teachers you understand what I mean Union guys Really should be Republican now because these Democrats are nuts. They're radical left. They're not patriotic. They don't care about working men and women. Look what they've done to the TSA. Look what they're doing to ICE. They're anti-law enforcement. They put up a big game. Big game. I mean, if it were fettermen, that would be a different story. But it's not fettermen. They're all like left-wing goons. But... Jim, I want to thank you, man. I hope I'll see you again one of these days, and you take care of yourself. God bless you, brother. Let's go to Mike. Corballis, Montana, XM. Satellite. Mike, how are you? Good, Mark. It's an honor to speak to you, and I hope you had a blessed Passover. Yes, sir. Thank you. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter, too.

Thank you. I listened to you Thursday, and you were talking about arming the people of Iran. They need a lot of arms in that country to overthrow the IRGC. And it'll be a quagmire for Trump. If he starts arming them, they'll need millions, millions of weapons. And my suggestion is to have Saudi Arabia and all the Arab countries who are pissed off right now at Iran launching missiles into their countries. Let them arm the Iranian people because they want a regime change in Iran too. And they can do whatever they want. No one's going to say anything about it. I don't bother me. I don't care who arms them. I remember Reagan armed, you know, the Mujah Hadin and then. in the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and overthrew the Soviet government there. I remember he armed the guerrilla fighters in Angola to push against communism there. He did it in our hemisphere with the Nicaragua in Honduras and El Salvador. It is a good policy. It doesn't involve American lives. And it doesn't have to be millions and millions of weapons, just the right kinds of weapons and the right... It doesn't have to be in the right hands. I mean, right now these people are utterly disarmed, utterly disarmed, and they'll get mowed down. So I think we should help them. There's also groups of people, other ethnic minorities and so forth that are ready to go at it. They were ready to go at it about a month ago, and I don't know what happened there. But we'll see. But I think we need to do that. Excuse me, sorry. All right, my friend. Have a great Easter. Let's go to Dick and Dayton, Ohio, X.M. Satellite. Go ahead. Hey, Mark, happy, Happy Easter. I was just telling your producer that I went up there at a couple of the places. I was taking history, and I used, the teacher gave me extra credit. I used some of your terms on the American Dream and all your, you know, the positive that we need to honor. Oh, the book on power. Yeah, the book on power was good. Yeah, yeah. And I just think it's just remarkable. Yeah, and I was telling your producer, I like books. Do you have any, I think you send out or just go to a place to get them? Can you send them out or is it best to go to Barnes & Noble's to get one? Do you want a book? Is that what you're asking? Yeah, yeah. Okay, I can send you one. I can't send you ten. I don't think I even have 10. But Mr. Producer, we have a book back there somewhere. We do. Did I sign it already? Okay. Dick, just for you, given this season, Don't Hang Up, Dayton, Ohio. We'll get you a copy of On Power signed. It's my honor to do it. And thank you for reading it and using it and asking. That's one of the greatest books I've ever written. I believe it's the thinnest book I've ever written.

It's not thin. I'm saying it's the thinest book of those that I've written. Certainly one of the most important, one of the most that I'm proud of, and it had probably the least number of sales because people are just not in the mood. But it's too bad. It's really a good book. Let's go to Charlie, Santa Clara, California, the great KSFO. We're working away right from one coast to the next. How are you? Oh, great. Thank you for taking my call. The ACLU lawyer said in the case that there were only five... That would be the birthright citizenship case. Yes. She said there was only five exceptions. And then the justice asked her, what about over time we find new circumstances that we didn't anticipate? Can we have new exceptions? She said, no. It's frozen in time back in 1868. And that's simply not true because after the Spanish-American War, when we acquired these overseas territories, they created a new status called non-citizen nationals. Filipinos, people in Guam. Let's slow down a second. First of all, nothing she said was accurate. Can Congress change that? Let's start with the Constitution. What does the Constitution say? It's conferring citizenship on newly freed slaves and their family and their future family. Because you had black codes in part of the South that remained in place, trying to undermine what was the end of the Civil War. and the 13th Amendment, which was adopted in 1865, right at the end of the Civil War, giving blacks their freedom and reversing the Dred Scott decision. Then they realized it didn't go far enough because of these black codes, as they called them, and they passed the 1866 Civil Rights Act. And that effectively gave equal rights, due process, and citizenship to again. blacks formerly slaves their children their family and any future children that they may have and they specifically said in that act this does not include foreigners then they pass it with an overwhelming majority in the Democrat president who was the vice president Andrew Johnson but he obviously moved up after Lincoln was assassinated which was a disaster including for the South. He vetoed it, and the overwrote his veto in 1866, but they said, you know what? We still have this resistance. We need to put this into the Constitution. So the people who authored the 1866 Civil Rights Act, I don't mean to be long-winded, I just want to get it all out here. They were involved in... drafting this amendment, what we call the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and the Section 1 in the very first sentence. Talking about the jurisdiction thereof, and what they meant by the jurisdiction thereof is not confusing. What that meant was not you were physically in the United States. That's not what they said. That's not what they ever said. They meant subject to the United States as a person, legitimately a citizen,

in the United States, the jurisdiction of the United States. Not some foreigner who walks into the United States. It never even entered their mind. Now, I know it didn't apply to illegal aliens. You know how I know? There was no such thing in 1868. They didn't have illegal aliens. They didn't have immigration laws much to speak of. So it had nothing to do with immigration. Zero. And they've turned the 14th Amendment. which was aimed at fixing a terrible wrong, applying to black people and their children, citizenship, equal protection, due process, the right to enter into contracts, the right to buy property, all the rights, they said, of the white man. We know what the 14th Amendment said. There's nothing about, nothing about... birthright citizenship in the Constitution. Even now, there's nothing in any codified law. There's zero. Makes it nice and simple. I'll be right back. Mark Levin. All right, folks. It's been quite a week. It's going to be quite a weekend. I hope those who have celebrated and some are celebrating Passover, I hope you're having a happy time with your family. And those who are beginning the celebrations over Easter, I hope you have a happy time with your family too. The Judeo-Christian unity is what has made this country. And nobody's going to come between us ever. And thank God for that. America, every Friday, just for you. Here we go.

We love our America. And I love you folks. And I want to thank you for being here. You're as loyal as can be, smart as can be, as wonderful as can be, red-blooded Americans. The week is officially over. Our special weekend begins now. Don't forget, Life, Liberty, and Levine, tomorrow night, 8 p.m. Eastern. Set your DVR. Sunday night. 8 p.m. Eastern again, set your DVR just so you have it in case you're having a special dinner or something. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, ice. Good night, Spritey and Griffey and Pepsi and Smoky. Good night, Zelda and Gigi and Indian Patton and Rory. Good night Marty and Barney. Good night, Dad and Mom. We're holding down the fort like you'd expect me to do. I think you'd be proud. Good night. Leo and Joe and Bernard. Good night Teddy. Good night Lou. All such wonderful people and Patriots. And good night, Mr. and Mrs. America. Have a fantastic weekend. And we give our blessing to the Commander-in-Chief and our military.
