3/16/26 - The Great One Speaks: Mark Levin's Defense of Freedom and MAGA

He's here. He's here. Now, broadcasting them from the underground command post. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

They say they want to talk and debate, but they don't want to talk and debate. They want to control and devour, just like the Marxists and the Islamists. There's nothing to debate if you believe that Hitler had a few good points, and that Churchill was the villain of World War II. There's nothing to debate. There's nothing to debate if you demand that Jews take DNA. in order to determine if they're actually Jews. There's nothing to debate. There's nothing to debate if you sit on the sidelines or Erika Kirk is being brutalized by some of the most racist anti-Semites. And you sit silently and say nothing to a widow whose husband was assassinated. six, seven months ago. Nothing. And there's nothing to debate if your goal is actually to destroy MAGA and destroy the Republican Party and serve basically the interests of the Democrat Party. When you say MAGA is dead, the Republican Party should lose. You see, ladies and gentlemen, since I was 13 years old, a long time ago, I've been a conservative activist. And I've read and I've read and I've studied and I've studied and I've debated. Our movement, our liberty movement, has never faced anything like this before. The left is more extreme, more violent than ever, ever. And then this neo-fascist right, seeks to devour us from within, and now they're undermining the president, stabbing them in the back, and our military in the middle of a war. That's not who we are. That's never who we're going to be. There are some quizlings in talk radio and elsewhere who throw up their hands and say, can't we just all get along? I would like us all to just get along. But if we just sit on the sidelines silently, and throw our hands in the air and say, can't we just get all along, then we're going to lose. We're going to lose to the left, and we're going to lose to this virus, to this poison in our own midst. The Democrat Party should have stood up to the Marxists. The Democrat Party should have stood up to the Islamists, but it didn't. And now that's who they are. That's what they represent. Those of us who are... Goldwaterites and Reaganites and Trumpites, those of us who are participants in the Tea Party movement, convention of states, who pushed hard for the election of Donald Trump, those of us who backed the military and the police and love this country and want our border secure, those of us who know what the Declaration and Constitution say and support them. We can't sit silently. Well, this is taking place. But what we have found is that the Marxists and the Islamists, they really don't want to debate us. They want to control us. And what we have found with the neo-fascists is their idea of debate. It's like a debate within the clan or the neo-Nazis. That's not a debate either. We have nothing in common. Zero. Zero in common. Zero.

When you root against your own country against the Islamist Nazis in Tehran, whether you're a neo-fascist, whether you are a Marxist or an Islamist, whether you're a Democrat or a phony Republican, we patriotic Americans, we draw lines. That's unacceptable. There's nothing to debate. When you're a hater, a hater, when you're a saboteur. When you're a grifter, there's nothing to debate. But when we do debate, when we do debate, we want to debate with people who are intelligent. We want to debate with people who know something. We want to debate with people who've actually done something other than been in the media, other than become rich. in the media. Self-serving, self-aggrandizing, narcissistic. What's the debate? When I was young, I would look at people in the media who were like William F. Buckley, who by the way ran for mayor of New York in 1965, I think it was, started Young Americans Foundation, really one of the great youth foundations that's still in existence. Founded National Review Magazine. This guy wasn't an entrepreneur. He was a leader. And great minds like Milton Freeman and Thomas Saul, who's still with us. Because they said things that were profound, that were important for humanity. And they loved the country and they wanted to protect this republic. That's what we constitutional conservatives fundamentally are all about. Protecting the founding. So we and the next generation in sharing the fruits of such a fantastic society. And we're happy to debate debate with people who've done something who know something. But we have found that the neo-fascists haven't done anything and don't know much. Self-aggrandizing and narcissistic grifters. Now it's not the time for people to throw their hands in there. Can't we all get along? We need to win the day. Now if we want to get along, I have some basic requirements. And then we'll get along with the neo-fascists. And I find it interesting that people even say, I'm tired of these podcasters fighting. So am I. I just became one, a podcaster. But what's their resolution? To allow these impostors to take over the conservative movement and destroy us? Is that what Bill Buckley did with the John Birch Society? No, I don't think so. Is that what Ronald Reagan did? No, I don't think so. Is that what Donald Trump has done? No, I don't think so. If talk show hosts, whether they're behind a radio microphone or a podcast camera or whatever they are, if they don't have the guts to defend this republic, then what good are they? What good are they? Now that's said.

There are no serious people. None. In this neo-fascist cabal, none. No serious people. They don't have serious views. They lie. They're conspiratorial. They are foul as hell with their mouths. They say things that should humiliate them, that they should apologize for. Not to me, but they're kids. Their kids hear what they say. They hear them drop the F-bombs. They hear them talk about genitalia. They hear all this stuff. Are they proud of their mom? Are they proud of their dad? Are they? We on conservative talk radio, we don't platform neo-Nazis. We don't drop the F bomb. We're not allowed to, but we don't. And we wouldn't. Every other sentence, like that's some kind of appeal to somebody? I think this generation, many of you have been fantastic in what you've done for this country, your family. But we have an element. An element that is utterly and completely defective. They are all about themselves. Rather than use a platform, like a podcast or a video podcast, to pass wisdom, the past knowledge, to pass substance, it could be entertaining, it could be funny, be a little bit outside the box, I got it, to pass it on to younger people. People in their teens, their upper teens, their low 20s, mid-20s, low 30s, to pass on information, knowledge that could be useful in their lives. That's not what they're doing. They're propagandists for the darkest side of humanity. Jew hatred, Christian hatred. It has no place in the conservative movement. None. It is no place in Maga. None. Mr. Maga says so himself. That's the president. I'll get to that next segment. None. That's not something to be debated. That's something to be denounced. There's so many cowards. You have no idea. So many cowards. I understand when you step into this. Like I told my wife, 10 or 11 months ago, I'm stepping into this toxic sewer because these people are going to destroy the Trump presidency. They're stabbing them in the back. They're going to destroy the conservative movement, the constitutionalists. They're going to destroy any chance of the midterms, and they still have done grave damage to us. Grave damage to the Republican Party, MAGA, and the conservative movement.

But many of these people are psychotic. Many of these people, you're not their audience. Americans aren't their audience. People in Pakistan. People in the Middle East. People in Southeast Asia. That's their audience. Over 90% of you support the president and what he's doing with Iran. You understand the mission. You understand the enemy. You're smart. You want to protect your family. You want to protect future generations. Do you understand? A terrorist with a nuclear missile is death. Death. You got it. You know it. That's not a game. And then they tell us that's not what we, MAGA. That's not what we believed. That's not what we voted for. Are you kidding me? What did we vote for? Did we vote for terrorists? They have nuclear weapons? I don't remember doing that. Did we vote for a president to appease the enemy to the point where the lives of everybody in this country is at stake? I've got more. I'll be right back.

Folks, many central banks around the world, the same institutions that print all that money, they're buying gold at record levels, and they're not speculating. It seems like they're diversifying away from the U.S. dollar. Many global central bank gold holdings have now surpassed the holdings of U.S. Treasuries. The problem is the endless spending, the endless borrowing, driving up interest rates and driving down the value of the dollar. This is where my trusted friends at Monetary Gold come in.

It is time that we use our common sense and our experience and our knowledge to dismiss people who should be dismissed. Just because they manage to climb the ladder, Get a big platform. Get investors. It doesn't mean we have to put up with it. Sometimes people need to be dismissed. Or they're going to take us all down with them. The Republican Party, the conservative movement, MAGA, all of it. I've been part of this movement for 55 years. I can name a whole host of people who are in different positions throughout the government, throughout think tanks, throughout legal groups, politicians, who I've helped, who I've worked with, for a reason. Because we're good people, and we have great beliefs and principles and values. I see some people who claim to speak for us. who've been around a few years, but they never got any dirt under their nails. They never bruised their knuckles anything of the kind. Now's the time for all good men and women to stand up and be hurt. Not to cower in the corner. Much more when I return.

I believe disciplined investors don't panic during price dips. They capitalize on them. If the gold and silver surged into a $5,400 to $5,500 range, we saw a sharp correction recently as some folks took profits. But many financial mines didn't run. They accumulated. Because in a long-term bull market, dips can be opportunities, not warnings, because you look at the trajectory. The fundamentals driving gold's rise haven't changed. And silver... Well, silver dropped more than 11% recently, and many analysts called it exactly what it was. A consolidation, not a collapse. And it's back moving up again. And right now for qualifying accounts, monetary gold may even cover your IRA fees for the rest of your life on your account. That's a real value if you're moving retirement funds into precious metals. So call monetary gold today, 877 now gold. That's 877 now gold. Or visit mark lovesgold.com. Mark lovesgold.com.

He's tough as hell. But I like him. I love him. Call in now. 877-381-3811. In the 1950s, 1960s, Bill Buckley, 29 years old.

really helped organize the conservative movement, the modern conservative movement. And he wrote a bestseller that was published by Regnery, Henry Regnery at the time. It was a book company publisher that was doing very poorly, but they wanted to publish conservative authors. And Henry Regnery was a real hero too. And he started National Review magazine. He wanted to bring thought leaders together or even find some to have serious discussions because how the hard left had really taken over the country and the Republican Party didn't really have an ability to respond to it. And... And he's all but ignored today, which really is very problematic to me. The book he wrote was called God and Man at Yale. It became a national bestseller. God and Man at Yale. And he'd go on to write other things that were brilliant. He went on to found firing line on public television. As a young guy, he used to watch it. He used to get National Review every two weeks. That was my birthday gift. I would watch Milton Friedman. I would watch Tom Saul. I would watch William Rusher and so many great thinkers and writers and leaders who came before us. I learned a great deal. That's not happening today. Less, of course, you listen to this show. And one of the great things he did was he took on the John Birch Society.

Barry Goldwater was a hero of mine. He didn't want to take on the John Birch Society. He said, we got enough battles, and they seem like nice enough people. He would later reject them, too, but Buckley spent an enormous amount of his time battling the John Birch Society to remove them from the conservative movement. They would be viewed by the general population. as the crackpots that they were and are. So as to make it possible to advance the cause of conservatism without such baggage. Now, if you know anything about National Review in its early days, they had a lot of very brilliant people writing, and they didn't always agree. In fact, they often disagreed. And that was the genius of the whole project. But they shared fundamental principles. Belief in God, a belief in this country, the declaration, the Constitution. So the debate was within boundaries. Boundaries. If you went off on Nazism and Jew hatred and that's it, you were out of the boundaries. You were out of bounds. There was nothing to debate. And so we have this problem today. And it's a big problem. And I have to spend an ordinary amount of my time taking these people on. It's not like it's something that I enjoy, but I want people to understand who are sending me beautiful texts and emails and phone calls. I am fine. I'm a tough old bastard. I'm okay. Just because some reprobate, some foul-mouthed person wants to blurt out and attack, it doesn't affect me. She's destroyed herself, and she will continue to destroy herself. She has no circumspection. Or just because I took her call.

accuses me of starting a war, representing Israel or whatever, is my home country. It's never been my home country. I don't know how far back his lineage goes here, but mine goes back a while. That doesn't deter me. I'm not intimidated. And there are threats out there, believe it or not, and they're not exactly enjoyable. And that's not going to intimidate me either. I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for the long run, however long that is. And I'm going to keep pushing the cause of Americanism. People come up with new crackpot ideas, populism, nationalism, thisism, that is, paleo-conservatism, and this one. No, Americanism. We don't have to buy off on every kook idea that comes out. But for those people who say enough with the debate and the arguments, you're fools. You never were in the battle. You've never been in the battle. You've always been in the media, have always been commentators, but you've never been in the battle. And some of them have taken so many sides over the same issues over the years. It's hard to know where they really stand. It truly is. But there has to be some level of purpose in a debate. And the people you debate with have to have some level of rationality and reason. If they're in the business of grifting, if they're in the business of doing whatever it has to be done, to have foreign viewers and the rest of it, that's not worth platforming, promoting. I mean, then why not, why not debate the Grand Cougall or Kegel or whatever they call them of the clan? Why not go through all the senior membership there? How about the neo-Nazis? They do exist. Should we debate them too? But just because somebody's dressed up in a suit or somebody wears a nice dress and has a nice hair doing a facelift or whatever and talks like the Klan and the neo-Nazis doesn't mean we give them legitimacy. Everything is at stake right now. We have a president who's doing exactly what we want him to do, and they're telling us he's doing exactly what we voted against. That's not true. Trump is a great president. He is a great president. He is historic. Historic.

And he deserves our support while he's alive as president of the United States, not posthumously after he has served and passed away. No, now, right now, you are living through history, a fantastic part of history. Well, we might be able to save ourselves from the Marxists, the Islamists, and the neo-fascists. We might not, but we have a fighting chance. But when people have microphones and TV cameras and they sit there, And don't push back, or at least don't present a positive argument and case. Then I don't know why they're there. I don't. I really don't. Some things are black and white. Some things are right and wrong. Some things are good and evil. Buckley wrote his book, Got a Man at Yale, it was the number one really conservative book for a generation. I wrote this book, Liberty and Tierney. It's the number one book of our generation. It's the number one conservative book of our generation. It was the number one book when it came out. I remember sending it to my father. I didn't hear from him for a week. And then he called me and said, I finished your book. I said, uh-oh. This is one of the greatest books I've ever written, he said. And then he said, it's one of the greatest books I've ever read. That's my father. I said, you're my father. He said, no, I'm telling you the truth. I sent it to Rush. Rush said, this book is spectacular. You're going to sell a million or more copies. That's almost 20 years ago. It's almost 20 years ago.

So I should surrender all that. You should surrender all this? Everything we fought for together, everything we've discussed over the decades. For who? For what? For people who cheer for the enemy? For people who put down Jews and Christians? For people who literally rewrite World War II, our greatest generation, and claim effectively that we were fighting on the wrong side? Are you serious, folks? This is a big deal. For people who have gutter mouths, because they want the aggregator sites like Mediaite to run with their headlines, childish, buffoonish behavior. I promise you, these personal attacks do not get to me. I respond to them. to expose the person who makes them. I could go in the gutter. I could talk about somebody's body parts. And by the way, as a footnote, if a guy talks about a woman's body parts, they're done. If a woman talks about a guy's body parts, well, they're really done. They're not officially done, but they've destroyed themselves. Why?

Because it's lewd, it's stupid, and you embarrass yourself. And you have to live with that scarlet lever the rest of your life. When you write things on the Internet, they don't go away. When you say things on podcasts, on radio or TV, you can't take them back. It is what it is. And these people will now have a legacy with their children and grandchildren. And they will cringe. They will cringe. But more pertinent to us, we're not part of this. We don't embrace this. Christians love Jews. Jews love Christians. We love all kinds of people who are not Jewish and Christian. Live and let live, as long as you don't try and destroy our country. Don't try and cause us harm. So be it. So be it. I did a podcast today. I did a lot of thinking about this podcast today. I hope you'll check it out on Liberty's Voice, on Rumble, and on YouTube. I would encourage you strongly. I'm trying to persuade you to check it out. It's a totally different format. It's handled in a totally different way, which is actually a good thing because there's different ways to communicate. A book, a TV show, a radio program, and a video podcast. There are entities today, and I'm not going to tell you who they are because I promised I wouldn't, that are trying to pressure me to step down. I don't mean from my jobs, but from standing up to these people. I'm not going to step down. I'm not going to do it. I will conduct myself in a way that I can live with and my family can live with and you can live with. But now is not the time for the faint heart. Now is not the time for the people with the hot air who in the end stand for nothing. We have an enemy in our midst. We have several enemies in our midst. We have cancer growing within what people say is our movement. This is not a cancer of our movement. This is a cancer like an alien bacteria that has come into our movement and is trying to destroy it and redefine it. We must not allow that or we will destroy ourselves. I'll be right back.

I got a text for my buddy Sean Hannity and all it said was wow.

So I called him and said, what are you talking about? Did you see what the president posted about you? I said, I did not. So he sent it to me. Now we'll get into this next hour because this is all very, very important, very important about the survivability of the conservative movement, MAGA, you know, Convention of States, the whole kit and caboodle. and writ large the survivability of this country from enemies foreign and domestic. And these people with microphones and cameras, if they really care about the country, then let them show it. Don't make excuses. Don't be a coward. You can do it in your own way with your own character and personality. That's perfectly fine. We're all different. But don't sit there and lament what's going on. I lament what's going on, but then I'm taking the next step, which is much harder. Much harder. But for me, it's both cerebral and instinctive. I mean, think about your life. It's a limited time on earth. Don't you want it to be meaningful? Don't you want it to stand? Of course you're doing your own role, your own life with your family, your church, your synagogue, whatever. But this is what I do. This is what I do. This is what I've trained myself to do. This is how I've educated myself. And so it's very, very important that we don't turn back one day and say, what the hell happened? And somebody look at me and say, I don't know, what the hell did you do about it? I don't ever want to hear that. Very important next hour, very important video podcast on Liberty's Voice.

Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Welcome, America, 877-381-3811. That's our number, 877-381-3811. Some of you may be thinking, not most of you or some of our affiliates, some of our sponsors. Let's get on with the issue. This is the issue. There are other issues too, but this is a big damn issue. Why does conservative talk radio even exist if this is not an issue? It certainly is an issue. The president has been fantastic in his leadership. He has been steadfast. He wants to see this thing through with the enemy.

And then we have all this other stuff going on. Two short clips from today's Liberty's voice, cut one, go. I'm defending the president. I'm defending our troops. I'm defending this war effort. Not because I'm knee-jerk about it, because I believe in all of them. I believe this regime needs to be destroyed. This regime needs to be changed. This regime killed 50,000 innocent young people. This regime has killed over a thousand Americans. probably 10,000 casualties. This regime directly and through its surrogates has blown up our embassies. It's blown up marine barracks and slaughtered everybody there. It's tried to assassinate our president. This regime is hell-bent on having nuclear weapons, putting nuclear warheads on ICBMs that can reach our country and blow us off the face of the earth. I didn't take us to war as one of these fools claims. This is Mark Levin' war. How pathetically stupid is that in demeaning of Donald Trump and our troops? And as I said last night on Fox, and a lot of you love the monologue, and we had two great guests, Ted Cruz and Victor Davis-Hanson, as we did on Saturday, I want to thank you for being in the audience there. Peace is preferable to war, but war is preferable to nuclear annihilation. It's that simple. And I believe, the president believes, and anybody who knows this enemy believes that they will use nuclear weapons if they get them. And they will destroy our cities and your families. They absolutely will. They've had roadside bombs. They've had suicide bombers. They've had car bombs. If they could get the mother of all weapons, they would use it, just like they would kill 10,000, 50,000 people in their sleep to advance what they believe is their God-given ideology. These are 7th century barbarians. I don't know how many more times I can say it. They don't think like us. And this is what so many of these numskills, isolationists, neo-fascists, just don't quite understand. And I want to ask you this, do you really think we should risk it? The existence of our society, your life and the life of your family? Should we risk it? Seriously? Cut two from today's Liberty's voice. Go. The Democrat Party and their ideological elements, the Marxists, the Islamists and so forth, who want to change the country completely. Basically destroy the framework. Destroy the founding. This has been going on 125 years. Would Joel Wilson and his help but it's going on right now? In fact, there are more pressures to destroy our founding and the whole notion of Americanism today than ever before in our history within our borders. Isn't it important to focus a lot on that?

We're in the middle of a war. We're the good guys. The other side's the bad guys. We have a Democrat Party, Islamists, and others who are doing everything they can to sabotage our war effort in our own country. We have a media that might as well be Al Jazeera. Now, I don't know how the president found out about this battle that's going on, this battle for the heart and soul of the country, the conservative movement, and MAGA. But he did. Not from me. Not from me. And he issued a true social post, which is humbling and the honor that I feel that a sitting president of the United States would take his time to do this is remarkable. And I haven't talked to him. in several weeks. I certainly wouldn't be talking to him about this. I did call him after he posted it and I thanked him. But the response for Megyn Kelly and others has been that I went to daddy and have him come to protect me. This is what I mean. These are the minds of numbskals. These are really stupid evil people. To trash the president like that? I stand on my own two feet. I don't ask for any help. I do what I feel I have to do. And that's taken me a long way in life, and I'm proud of the way I live my life. Most of these people should not. And one day, if they have a conscious, they won't. But most of them don't. So to my complete surprise, I get a text from my buddy Sean Hannity. And he says, wow. And I called him and said, wow, what? I'm going to send you a link to what the president posted. And I read it. And I read it again. And I thought to myself, how does he even know this is going on? But he does. And for him to take time to write this, it's just really... I'm speechless, to be perfectly honest with you. Nobody called in the president. Certainly, it's not something I would do or any of my friends or family would do, ever. But he thinks this battle is important enough. Maga, the conservative movement, the war against Iran.

that he felt compelled to do it, the goodness of his heart as well. And so he wrote this. I'm going to read it to you. I'm almost red-faced over it, but I'm going to read it to you. He posted last night, Marco Rubio truly great American patriot, is somewhat under siege by other people with far less intellect, capability, and love for our country. And we all know the people he's talking about. Mark is tough, strong, and brilliant, hence the nickname the Great One, conceived by our maga friend, the wonderful Sean Hannity, after years of dealing with Mark in legal media and other capacities. Mark would often do Sean's show, speaking as a lawyer, and Sean realized then, as did others, that he was special. Mark was not looking to do television, true, radio, true, or anything else, but he was drafted by very smart people who understood that there are a few like him. He is a true conservative and intellect far smarter than those who criticize him, but above all he's a man of great wisdom and common sense who truly loves our country. When you hear others unfairly attack Mark, remember that they are jealous and angry human beings, whose so-called sway is much less than the public understands and will now that they know where I stand rapidly diminish. Other than for his wonderful wife and family, he loves Julie, my wife. Mark Levin only cares and wants one thing. Greatness and success for America. Those that speak ill of Mark will quickly fall by the wayside, as to the people whose ideas, policies, and footings are not sound. They are not MAGA, he writes, and caps, I am. And MAGA includes not allowing Iran a sick, demented, and violent terrorist regime to have a nuclear weapon. to blow up the United States of America, the Middle East, and ultimately the rest of the world. MAGA is about stopping them cold, and that is exactly what we're doing. God bless our great military, which I rebuilt since the beginning of my first term, to achieve everlasting peace through strength. Make America great again. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. I had nothing to do with that.

In about 10, 15 minutes after I read it, I called him and I thanked him. We spoke for about 20 minutes. And he conveyed things than I did that I will not share because I don't believe in that. It's a good man. A very good man. And what he did there is he threw down the gauntlet, in my humble opinion, that he's had enough, that he's had enough. of the neo-fascist, that he's had enough of the anti-Semitism and the Nazism, that he's had enough of the crude, personal character assassination propaganda, that he's had enough of it. And he knows that over 90% of MAGA, he's MAGA, supports him and what he's doing, and zero percent of these other people do. That's why I'm... absolutely convinced that their audiences are made up of Democrats Islamists Marxists foreigners very few of you because you don't agree with them I don't seek alliances I don't do that sort of thing but I will say there have only been a handful of individuals that I've known who contacted me before that was posted in support of what I'm doing. Since the president posted that, there are many. But there are still people out there, talk show hosts, podcasters, television hosts, who are either silent.

or whining and complaining about this battle that's going on. Of course we don't want a battle going on like this, but we will be consumed and destroyed. There'll be no opposition, no legitimate opposition to the Democrat Party and their horrendous base. If you and I don't overcome what's taking place. As I said, the Democrat Party tolerated this. Now they are that. And this poison can easily spread in the Republican Party. But it's up to us. We are the conservative movement. We are the inheritors of the Buckleys and the Gold Waters and the Regans. We are MAGA. We are the Tea Party. We are Convention of States. We're the Reagan Revolution. We're the Trump Revolution. And we're not going to surrender that to grifters who give aid and comfort to the enemy. Who trash our faiths? Who are deep in the sewer? We're not going to surrender it. And people either help us or they don't. President Trump today at the White House on Iran. Cut three, go. Our powerful military campaign to end the threats posed by the Iranian regime continued in full force over the past few days. They have been literally obliterated. The Air Force is gone. The Navy is gone. Many, many ships have been sunk. They're war-fighting ships, but I guess they didn't know how to use them. Anti-aircraft is decimated. Their radar is gone, and their leaders are gone. Other than that, they're doing quite well. They've been at Terra for 47 years. And now, I guess, the world, through the United States, with the help of Israel, is doing what should have been done many years ago. Should have been done many years ago. Since the beginning of the conflict, we've struck more than 7,000 targets across Iran. And these have been mostly commercial and military targets. We've achieved a 90% reduction in their ballistic missile launches and a 95% reduction in drone attacks. The missiles are trickling in now at very low levels because... They don't have too many missiles left. I mean, we should be so positive in support of what this man is doing that nobody else would do. No other president of either party. I want you to hear more about what he said today because it's very, very important. He represents you. He represents me. The people who are trying to... sabotage him and trip him up, whether they be Democrats in Congress or these neo-fascist podcasters and so forth, they don't represent us. They're giving aiding comfort to a vile enemy that wants to blow us off the face of the earth. We'll be right back.

Pure Talk, America's wireless company. All right, let's jump in. President again today. Cut four, go. I can tell you that when this is over, oil prices are going to go down very, very rapidly. So is inflation, so is everything else. But frankly, much more important than short-term or even long-term oil prices, you can't let the most violent, vicious country in the last 50 years have a nuclear weapon. All right, stop there. This is the statement of a great leader. He knows that his opponents are trying to exploit a temporary increase in gasoline and perhaps inflation. They're trying to exploit it at a time of war. He knows that these opponents, really, the enemy within, has defunded the TSA, defunded the Coast Guard. It's incredible when you really think about it. We need those agencies for security. Defunded FEMA that they want to destroy ICE, that is, the apprehension and exportation of individuals who are dangerous to this country. He knows he's up against this. He knows he's up against the media that sounds like Al Jazeera and Pravda. And he just said, look, I know about this. I know these are problems, but I've got to focus on the primary problem. The enemy with nuclear weapons. Go ahead. The Middle East will be gone. Israel will go first, without question, and they'll certainly take a shot at us before we get our act together and say we've got to take them out. You can't let Iran, who's truly a nation of great terror and power. He's so right. So clear thinking about this. There's an individual by the name of David Sacks. He's a multimillionaire. I believe he was or is on the West Coast. He's one of these, you know, techno guys. He's been a lifelong, pretty much as I understand it, Democrat, but it doesn't really matter. But he's an isolationist, in my humble opinion. He's part of that Tucker Carlson crowd, as I understand it.

And he's in the administration as an advisor on AI. And he's making very public objections to what we're doing to defend ourselves against the Iranian Nazi regime in their pursuit of nuclear weapons. And the president's asked about this. Cut five, go. One of your advisors, David Sachs, said the other week that the U.S. should, quote, declare victory and get out of the Iran war. He also warned that if the conflict escalates, Israel may contemplate the use of a nuclear weapon. Has he shared that assessment with you? No, yes. Israel wouldn't do that. Israel would never do that. And, yeah, there's no, there's a theory. You pounded them to hell, and you can just leave now, and it'll take 10 years for them to build back, not nearly what they have right now. And I guess that's another theory, but we want to have it ended so that another president doesn't have. Look, for 47 years, no president was willing to do what I'm doing, and they should have done it a long time ago. It would have been a lot easier. He's so right on. He's not going to do all of this and then leave it to somebody else. He's not going to do it. And those who thought he was, you're mistaken. I'm telling you, this is a great leader. And great leaders come under attack all the time by the Lilliputians and the Rasputans. And that's what's happening. And we have an obligation. to support our president and to support what our military is doing, and they're doing a spectacular job. I'll be right back.

Defending the red, white, and blue. Join Mark Levin at 877-381-3811. Nick Fuentes, Nick Fuentes. He posted today, Mr. Producer, I didn't see it. These things are sent to me. I don't follow any of these people. He said, now that the president has come to Levin's defense, Maga is dead. I'll keep something in mind. This is a guy who praises Hitler. This is a guy who praises Stalin. This is a guy who praises raping women. This is a guy who trashes Christians, trashes Jews. Of course, I take the exact opposite position of him. He must be under the illusion that MAGA supports what he supports. No, MAGA throws up what he supports. That's just not who we are. This is what I'm talking about. They interview each other. They promote each other. They defend each other. They're not us. They can't be us, and they never will be us.

I want to read something to you. Remind me before the end of the segment, Mr. Producer, to pick this up here. It's not easy to read. It's from Al Jumaneer, which is a wonderful site. New reports expose Iran's shocking use of rape and torture to crush protests. And you won't hear a single word from a single Democrat woman in Congress. Not one. You won't hear a single word from a woman in the media, or if you hear it'll be it's horrible, horrible, but, but we shouldn't be doing what we're doing. Iranian security forces raped and tortured medical staff who treated wounded anti-regime protesters during the country's nationwide uprising in January, targeting them in a campaign of intimidation against those aiding demonstrators new reports reveal. According to the London-based outlet Iran International, medical staff and other hospital personnel who treated people injured during the massive protests that erupted in late December and continued into early January, before being crushed, were detained by security agents and subjected to torture, repeated gang rape, and other forms of abuse while in custody. These are the nurses and the doctors. In one of several shocking testimonies, two medical workers at Tehran's Rajay, Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center, recounted the horrors they suffered after being detained while treating injured protesters. Something about the radical Islamists and the raping of women and abusing of women, which I guess isn't something we can discuss in this country, is it? In one of several shocking testimonies, two medical workers at Tehran's medical facility, two nurses, were reportedly subjected to repeated sexual abuse and torture during detention, while one sustaining injury so severe that part of her intestine had to be removed, leaving her to live with a colostomy bag. After already undergoing two surgeries for severe uterine tearing, she may ultimately face complete removal of her uterus. Detained and kept in isolation for several weeks, the other nurse, who also defied orders not to treat wounded protesters, suffered injuries so severe that she ultimately had. Her uterus completely removed.

Now, you can talk about how horrible this is. Our president's doing something about it, and the Democrats are trying to stop him by every means possible, as are the Marxist Islamists, as are the woke right neo-fascist. I want you to think about this. Iran International also reported that the family, one of the nurses, was forced to pay a substantial sum to an intelligence officer to secure her release. After several weeks of the detention, she was even coerced into signing a statement falsely claiming she had been abused and raped by the rioters. According to the report, security forces and local police involved in the crackdown, explicitly warned hospital staff against treating wounded protesters with witnesses reporting that agents would arrest or physically assault medical workers who refused to comply. echoing other international reports, Iran International detailed that security forces allegedly stormed hospitals, opened, fired on wounded patients, even shot nurses trying to provide treatment. As Iranian authorities sought to crush dissent and reassert control, human rights groups and international organizations repeatedly warned protesters detained during the unrest, faced a high risk of torture and sexual violence. With some estimates suggesting that as many as 30,000 people have been killed on the streets, it's more like 50,000. On June, excuse me, on January 8th and 9th alone, do you understand what a genocide this was and is for that many people to be murdered in cold blood? That means they're killing everybody that moves. In a separate new report released Monday, the special reporter on the human rights situation in Iran, Maasato exposed the regime's widespread use of physical and sexual violence to crush dissent during the nationwide protests that began on December 28 last year, warning such brutal tactics remain a longstanding tool of control. Amazing, a so-called fundamentalist religious regime. These are monsters. These are subhumans. And this is what was done to the Israeli hostages by Hamas. And you have people like Bernie Sanders saying things that are so horrific about the Israelis and Benjamin Netanyahu, about we, the Americans, and our president, and then they pretend to care about your health care, for God's sakes. These people are disgusting. Or we have the isolationists, the neo-fascists going on and on as they do. Just appalling. The unofficial called on Iranian authorities to immediately stop their brutal crackdown on civilians. I'm sure that was effective. Release everyone detained for exercising fundamental rights, restore full internet access, and allow human rights organizations to carry out the work without interference. I'm sure that went down well. According to the new report, the brutal crackdown saw protesters, including children, shot a close range or severely beaten by security forces. Tens of thousands of demonstrators, including medical professionals and lawyers, were also arbitrarily detained. Many were held incommunicado, denied legal representation, forced to deliver televised confessions, and some even minors now face the death penalty. Well, didn't they say that...

Comini's son who they pretend is in control that he's gay, Mr. Medusa. So then shouldn't he be hanged from the rooftops? Isn't that what they do to gay people? Apparently not him. The Israelis tried to take care of him. In practice, legal force has been a consistent feature. The state's response to protests over decades, the report said, referring to past demonstrations of which security forces deployed assault rifles or shotguns firing metal pellets at crowds. And one of the things they were known to do was shoot in the face so as to blind the protesters. They now have hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of people who've been blinded. Sato also presented evidence showing that security forces, raided hospitals, arrested wounded protesters, assaulted medical staff, subjected families of the killed or detained to intimidation and interference with their memorials. Their grief is compounded by state intimidation in the dena. We can't destroy these bastards soon enough. We can't take them out soon enough. People disagree with me. You've got to live with yourself. There's nothing I can do about that. But we're there. We can do something about it. And we need to put an end of this. There are times when we can't. This is a time when we can. And the president knows it. The president is a very humane man. For all the attacks on him as a dictator and Hitler and all these horrific lies about him, he's got more compassion about his fellow man than any of these other buffoons, any of them. Sickening. Absolutely sickening. We'll be right back.

Pure Talk, America's wireless company. President of the United States. Cut six today, go. What are your advisors telling you about the Ayatollah's son, the new supreme leader? What are they telling you about it? Well, it's not only them, it's you people. I mean, a lot of people are saying that he's badly disfigured. They're saying that he lost his leg, the one leg, and he's, you know, been hurt very badly. Other people are saying he's dead. Nobody's saying he's 100% healthy. And he hasn't, you know, he hasn't spoken because the Ayatollah would sit and he'd spew hate from. a form of a throne, not as nice as a throne. I like the English throne much better. But it was a fancy chair. But he'd spew hate from his chair. But you'd see him a lot, right? This one we haven't seen at all. So that could be for a lot of different reasons. We don't know Peter if he's dead or not. And I will say this, nobody's seen them, which is unusual. Here's what we do know, I'll update you. What happened was the Israelis, one of the reasons they struck during the day is the Supreme Islamo Nazi and his top aides, military and political, that their guard down, they all met in his residence. Turns out his son decided to go outside in the garden area. They blew the residents to smithereens. The son had a major injury, his leg, and perhaps more. And so it's believed that he survived it in that respect. This is from Israeli intelligence. That's public. So that's what they believe happened.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, the power hours next. We keep our foot on the gas pedal. 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-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America, Mark Levin here, our number, 877-381-381-3811. I just described for you the horrors that women face in Iran. Young women who simply want their freedom, the nurses and the doctors. The human rights reports have come out. Do we still have women's groups so-called in this country? Because I'm not hearing from many of them. Have you heard from any of them, Mr. Beducer? Do you have any audio of them out there marching against what's going on? I don't think so. No, we don't. Gee, what's that all about? So much evil. So much evil. Joy Reid says, well, let's just let her say what she says. Listen to this one. Cut 16, go. Our regime has secret police. They have secret police. Our regime is oppressing women, taking away abortion rights, taking away women's rights in like 26 states, some states where they're trying to have the death penalty for having an abortion. They also oppress women. They have the highest rate of women who are in STEM careers. We're kicking women out of the military, out of university. We're saying that DEI means women can't be hired for high positions in the sciences. This one is so full of crap. coming out of her nostrils. Women are only hired if they're DEI, not if it's merit-based. How many women believe that? Women of my life would be repulsed by what she just said. See, she's a bigot. That's stereotyping women. In a lot of positions, women are smarter than men. So what? It's the way it works, merit. Women are being thrown out of stem positions? No, they're not.

unless there's illegal aliens or even legal immigration where people are being thrown out of their positions. But women, she's trying to say, women have it as well or better in Iran than in the United States. I'm going to think about this. Joy, Reid, you are free to leave. I believe you're first or second generation here. Then go. Go enjoy yourself in the paradise that is Iran or the paradise that is Qatar. Maybe move in with... With Tucker Carlson. Has anybody seen his house yet? I haven't seen it. Taking any pictures? I don't know. His buddy Neil Kash Patel? They hang out a lot together, don't they, Mr. Producer? I'm not inferring anything. I'm not saying anything. They just spent a lot of time together those two. But nonetheless, this is Joy Reid. This is the left. The left literally thinks women have the same rights. In Iran, is they doing the United States? You heard her talking at warp speed. Got all her talking points down. America sucks. Now, who believes that? And yet this woman is given a platform. This is what I mean. Some people shouldn't have a platform. Well, you're against free speed? No, she can talk all she wants. But why are people platforming her? Nobody's saying she shouldn't have free speech. What I'm saying is, why platform her? They're two different things. They're not one and the same. They're mutually exclusive. I mean, we have to be able to discern things too. We've got to make decisions too. Decisions that are moral and ethical and common senseical. She's a nut. She hates her country. She hates our country. And she just keeps at it, keeps out, whether she's on TV or not on TV. And she's the one who... who used to use the internet to trash gay people and Jewish people and other people. She said the FBI was responsible for that. The FBI came in and did a search. They said, no, sorry. And what did MSNBC do? They gave her a primetime job, promoted her. It's the way it works. That's the way it works. But let's see some shows by these women podcasters. The ones who are out there, the neo-fascists, the Marxists, the Islamists, let's hear from them. How about that fat-slop sank? I'll never remember his last name. Sank, you know, the Turk. How about the other idiot? Medi Hanan? This is the enemy within. I'm sure they have a lot to say about this, too. But when they say it, they're always going to attack the America, Israel, Jews, evangelical Christians. They've got to get it in there, you know. Because they're the enemy within. They're propagandists. They may not have official positions with the enemy, but nonetheless, it doesn't matter. They are what they are. And how we naturalize people like this into our country, I'll never know. Denaturalize and deport. It's a long process. I get it. But what the hell? And maybe Congress will pass some kind of a law that will make it a lot easier to denaturalize people who cheer on Hamas, Iran, that is, cheer on terrorists who are trying to destroy America. Or individuals who were given naturalized citizenship by the Biden regime and the Democrats, including imams and scholars and professors, quote unquote.

or preaching violence, preaching the overthrow of America, you know, there ought to be a way to kick their ass out of our country, too. Just saying, just saying, we have this guy, Keir Starminoff, there were a vote right now in Britain, this guy would be destroyed politically. But he has to call for the vote, and the Labor Party has to... agree to have early elections and they won't do it because they know they'll get killed here he is today at a press conference cut eight go we will protect our people in the region second while taking the necessary action to defend ourselves and our allies we will not be drawn into the wider war And third, we will keep working towards a swift resolution that bring security and stability back to... Shut up, you moron. You're pathetic fool. Meanwhile, in NATO, if they're attacked, then that's considered our war, right? Right? Now, Turkey was attacked. So technically, NATO's supposed to be helping. The problem is Turkey is the enemy. Turkey's working with Qatar. Turkey's had a few ballistic missiles fired its way and they go like, a couple of mosquitoes, we're okay. Because Turkey has big ambitions in the region too. Because Turkey's run by a Islam on Nazi as well. He was killed people, murdered people, imprisoned people to get to where he is. I want you to listen to Mark Warner. Mark Warner is a quintessential liar. And so he's undermining our armed forces and our commander chief in the middle of a very successful military campaign. He's giving aid and comfort to the enemy. When they hear people like this, it gives them more energy to continue on the fight. And according to Mark Warner and his ilk and Adam Schiff and the other political hemorrhoids on our body politic, according to them, There was no imminent threat. No imminent threat. Come on now. But we know there was. But they pretend there wasn't. And that's the Democrat Party. Defund the TSA that's to make sure our planes don't blow up. Defund the Coast Guard to make sure terrorists don't come into our country. Destroy ICE. That's immigration and customs. To make sure terrorists don't come into our country. Terrorists don't bring. weapons of mass destruction into our country, and that people who aren't supposed to be here are deported. Democrats are against all of it. They've defunded two. They're trying to destroy the third, and they created the problem with tens of millions of illegal aliens in the country, and we don't know where the hell they are. That's the Democrats. Oh, and by the way, the simple fact that the Islamist Nazi regime in Tehran is hell-bent. is in heat to create nuclear weapons, the threat's not imminent. Even though Steve Witkoff said they said it is, but Mark Warner knows better than everybody.

What a jackass this buffoon is. Cut nine, go. There was no imminent threat to the United States, and I don't believe there was even an imminent threat to Israel. Really? Well, the prime minister does, but they hate the prime minister. The president does, but they hate the president. This guy is a psycho. He's an absolute moron. Now, what's happened here is this guy barely won an election some years ago. But they've flipped Virginia. They have changed the voting system in Virginia. They're going to change the congressional districts in Virginia. So he's very cocky about one-party rule in Virginia. They're going to have a new tax in Virginia for millionaires so the millionaires will leave. They'll go to West Virginia or somewhere else. 52 new taxes. A destroyed voting system. One-party control. And Virginia is a blue state, but it's not California. It's not New York. It's not Rhode Island. It's not Illinois. But it's going to be after Scusberger, who ran as a moderate, she worked at the CIA. Wow, how cool. After she ran as a moderate, and then immediately, immediately began instituting the most radical left-wing agenda. Not just in the history of Virginia, maybe in the history of all states. Because she wants to run for president or be a vice president, and she knows that their base is filled with damnable Islamists, Marxists, and other buffoons. I'll be right back. Mark Levin.

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, we're reminded that freedom is a blessing and a responsibility. American Israel share a unique bond of friendship rooted in faith, freedom, democracy, and the belief that every person is created with dignity and purpose. Today, that friendship matters more than ever. At this very hour, the people of Israel face ongoing deadly attacks from all sides. Jewish families live in fear and constant uncertainty, yet through the international fellowship of Christians and Jews. Christians across America now have an opportunity to stand strong on behalf of our Jewish brothers and sisters. To commemorate this historic moment and show your support for the enduring friendship between America and Israel, you can request your free U.S. Israel flagpin today from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's a simple reminder of the two nations united by shared values and of your commitment to stand with Israel. Visit levin for thefellowship.org, that's L-E-V-I-N for the Fellowship.org, to request your U.S.-Israel flagpin today. That's Levine for thefellowship.org, L-E-V-I-N for the Fellowship.org. Roger Zakheim is a good friend of the program. He's director of the Ronald Reagan Institute. He's just a good man. He understands foreign policy, military policy, and all the rest. And Roger, it's a pleasure to have you. So let me ask you a question. Is the president doing the right thing? And how's it going? Mark, thanks for having me back on. The answer to the question is yes, a resounding yes. It's going really well. You wouldn't know that if you watched the mainstream media. But if you look a little bit deeper or not even too deep, you just use your common sense. The United States is winning. Our military is winning. This is something that our media is unaccustomed to reporting on. It's something unfortunately the American people have been conditioned by our leaders going back a couple of presidents not to actually contemplate that our military can win. And that's what's happening right now. Now, you're head of the Ronald Reagan Institute in Washington, D.C. You're the director there. What do you think Ronald Reagan would say? Well, I think President Reagan would say, thank you, President Trump, for finishing this war. As you know, better than most, Iran began its reign of terror in the Persian Gulf. It started its acts of terrorism during the Reagan presidency. President Reagan responded, but it was unfinished work during his presidency. And the 47 years since, as you've been talking about, no U.S. president. has actually taken the fight to the Iranian. So I think President Reagan would be fully supportive of this operation. He'd be proud, I know that, of our servicemen and women, and he would back Operation Epic Fury because this is a realization of the peace through strength mindset that he brought to the White House. Unfortunately, over the past few administrations, that is something other presidents have not advanced. The Democrat parties was pretty bad during the Reagan administration. I remember that, but it's gotten a hell of a lot worse. I mean, they are almost to a man and woman opposed to taking on this regime now that we are. They are opposed to continuing it that the comments are making, guys like Chris Murphy and Tim Kaine, and you just heard another one, and Bernie Sanders. I mean, the comments they're making, the enemy hears this.

And when the enemy hears the Democrat Party speakers, the Democrat Party speaks, what do they think about it? You know, we are a liberal democracy, as you understand, better than anybody else. And so our founders knew that you would have these divisions, whether along party lines or other lines of division from our Congress. But there's only one commander in chief. And I think the Iranians, the leaders, wherever they are, however many of them are left, know that regardless of the noise you may hear on Capitol Hill from Democrats who are critical of this operation and want to see it in, they know that our Constitution only has one commander in chief, and that individual is President Trump, and he's not backing down. 16 days into this fight, we are clearly winning on every measure. And so regardless of what the noise is from Capitol Hill, I don't know what they're seeing. I don't know what metrics they're looking at. It strikes me as a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome. I mean, it might be the Uber example mark. But in the rational world, in the world of common sense, there is no way to argue that the United States is losing here. I mean, just go down. What is their plan? What is their plan? They have no plan. They literally have no plan. I'm not one who wants to take up that line of argument. Say that again? I'm not one who wants to take up the line of argument saying what their plan is. Now, let's go on to this. NATO, I mean, all for one and one for all, that's pretty much NATO. That's the mission. And you've had Turkey's been hit. You've had Greece has been hit. And you've had NATO countries like France and Britain. Spain's been a complete disaster. I had Victor Davis Hansen on last night. He said the Israeli have over 300 jets. They have more jets than France. They have more jets than Britain. They have more jets than Spain. I mean, what the hell is going on here? Well, Spain is the worst case scenario. Oh, yeah. I mean, their Prime Minister Sanchez. I heard him at the Munich Security Conference. It was shocking. The question that I heard, I was there in the audience, and this is remarkable, Mark. The question was, why is Spain not committing to the three and a half, five percent commitment that President Trump drove and every other NATO partner ally, excuse me, signed up for, except for Spain? And what you heard was this unbelievable word salad that somehow ended, ready for this, with the West Bank and Gaza, as if there's any connection. between that and NATO allies or Spain doing its part, contributing to this defense. So I think they're the worst example of a NATO ally. Now, in terms of opening of the Strait of Hermuz and partnering with the United States and our Navy and Central Command and pushing forward, you know, I think there's a couple of NATO countries that are working it out. They're talking to President Trump, a couple others that have said no. But they need to find some courage. As I was talking to a colleague of mine,

This is the moment where you demonstrate whether or not you're an ally. It's one thing in the negotiation and the lead up. You can have the bickering, the fighting. Should be behind closed doors. Sometimes it leaks out. But when your ally is involved in armed conflict, when the operation is ongoing, this is when allies need to step up and be with us. And we need more Churchill's in this moment. And unfortunately, we're not finding any of them in Europe. Well, the problem is I think the Russians see this. I think the Chinese see this. And I think they see that there are weak parts of the chain, weak chinks in the chain in NATO. Don't they see that? Don't they take that into consideration? They absolutely do, but Vladimir Putin knows that. First of all, he can't even handle Ukraine. As I'm sure you've seen the reporting, Ukraine is actually taking its territory back right now. And then they look at Poland, one of the strongest militaries in Europe. So are you looking to Western Europe or Eastern Europe? Eastern Europe is a problem for Russia. All right, my friend. We appreciate you very, very much. Roger Zakheim, director of the Ronald Reagan Institute. We'll be right back. Mark LaFinn, radio's hell-raising, intellectual. Call now 877-381-3811. Let's go to James, Burlington, Vermont, X-M satellite. Go ahead. Hey, Mark, this is James. Can you hear me? Yes, sir. Hey, great. Thanks for taking my call. Thanks for your program. I want to preface what I'm going to say with, hey, I support a lot of what Trump stands for and I'm a veteran. But I believe that we are being a complete bully in this situation. We went over there without consulting in our allies. Hell, we didn't even consult Congress. And now as a typical bully, we're telling these folks, they've got to support us and we need our help because what? We can't finish the job by ourselves. If you take the action to go over there without getting any consultation or, you know, alliance with them, and then all of a sudden say, hey, we can't finish the job. We need you to do it. We're being a bully. We're sort of deserve to get a buddy. Really talking fast. Can you slow down a little bit so I can deal with each point you're raising? You're amazing many. By the way, which branch of the military did you serve in? I'll take a break. I was in the Army. Air defense artillery and then Signal Corps. I want to thank you for that. First of all, I don't know what you mean, not consulting. He consulted. He followed the law under the War Powers Act, which is utterly unconstitutional. Did you want him to sit down with Congress and give all the plans of what they're going to do and have a leak to the media? I don't know what you mean. Has any president ever done that? Name one. The answer is no. Number two, how do you know they didn't already consult with these NATO countries?

Number three, he consulted with the Arab countries. He consulted with all the countries in the region. I guess they knew when we moved our air defense systems in there, and we moved our carriers there over a period of two months, and he moved everything in there. I guess they got a sense for what we were up to. And he made it utterly clear even to the enemy what we were going to do if we couldn't come to some arrangement. I think he was actually being... very beneficent in that sense. I wouldn't have been, but he was. He wanted to try right to the end, and they said no. Now you're talking about we started it. We started it. The Iranians can block that, and the Houthis can block that, those straits, any time they want, and the Houthis were blocking it. And notice, by the way, the Houthis haven't done anything. Have you noticed that? They haven't done a thing. The Houthis haven't done a thing. And so when you say we started it and so forth and so on, the fact is that we started it doesn't mean that, okay, now it's on us. We don't even need the oil coming out of the straits. We have enough oil produced here in our country, thanks to Trump, that we don't need it. What he's trying to do is get the oil flowing through there so the price comes down for the worldwide market and affects our market by bringing the price down. But we will survive without it. The rest of the world won't survive without it. Certainly even our enemies, China. So I'm not sure why you came on all hot to trot about all these different issues and so forth about what our problem is and why we're a bully. We're a bully. We're trying to liberate a people. We're trying to protect us from nuclear weapons, from a nation that has killed your fellow soldiers over a period of half a century. It doesn't sound like a bully to me. It sounds like finally... Finally, we have a president who said enough is enough, and they've awakened, as they said, the Japanese said, Yamamoto said, a sleeping giant. I think that's what happened. Hello? Yeah, I'm here. I'm listening. I'm soaking in what you're saying. I think a lot of what you're saying makes sense. But look, okay, thank you. The straight was open three weeks ago. We're the ones who closed it. Excuse me, the straight was closed three months ago by the Houthis.

And, you know, supposedly we destroyed all the future capability. I know, I didn't know that fact. But I will tell you, a big reason that me and a lot of other supported Trump was during his first term, there was no more stupid meddling wars in parts of the world that we don't even need to be in. And we're probably causing more problems in the long term by being. You didn't actually vote for Trump, did you? I did. I did. Why? And a big part of it was an immigration. It was because of his stance that were done with these stupid foreign... Excuse me. There are stupid wars and there are smart wars. Every war is not a stupid war. Every military action is not a stupid military action. That kind of ideology will get us all killed. So I don't know what you're talking about. This isn't stupid at all. We had Steve Witkoff right on my show. Two oceans away. Haven't you ever heard of ballistic missiles? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Two oceans away. The hell. They're trying to get a missile that can reach our country. You're supposed to wait for it, let it hit Newark, New Jersey, and then all of a sudden we'll say, wow, why wasn't anybody ready? Minds me a 9-11. The enemy's getting ready, getting ready, getting ready, everybody's asleep. Then they hit us. I'm sorry, sir. I want to thank you for your service, but I would never want you as President of the United States, ever. Thank you for your call. Let's go to Mark Pittsfield, Maine, the great WVOM. Go, please. Hey, Mark, thank you so much. I'm really, really happy to talk to you. And, you know, what, just listen to that guy, you know. It blows my mind because all this, to me, harkens back to World War II when, you know, we stepped in and basically joined Britain against a tyrant, you know, Hitler to stop what he was doing. I think this is our Hitler. This is when we have the opportunity to step in and stop. what's happening as far as a threat to the world, a terrorist organization that can threaten the world, and we're stepping in, like beating down, finally beating down the beehive that we've watched grow and grow, and we're afraid to peck at it because we're afraid to get stung. And now all of a sudden, you know, a president comes along and said, okay, we're knocking down the beehive, we're going to take our bites and our stings. But I'll tell you what, you know, these other countries who are, you know, especially, especially Stommer, like, you know, how dare he not back us up when we were there? You are 100% right, Mark, and let's go back to your first point. I don't know what imminent means. And the people who say it's not imminent, they can't define it either. Imminent to me is when Whitcock comes back to the president, and I interviewed him on this program. He says, Mr. President, they're bragging about having. 11 nuclear bombs in 10 days. 22,000 pounds of nuclear material. And they're bragging to us that they're going to have 25 nuclear bombs in six weeks. And you're the president of the United States. You're supposed to sit there and pick your nose. Now, is that even rational? Seriously, to not do anything under circumstances like that when you're dealing with this kind of an enemy? Now, here's the thing.

Gentlemen like that last caller, who I think is good intentions, there are people who don't, but I think he did. But good intentions are bad. You can get us killed. My question is this. They're all going to claim they're right. See, I told you what in a minute? See, they weren't. Why? Because Trump has taken the actions that he's taken, and we don't have to put their naive, almost blissfully stupid position to the test, do we? And if we had to put it to the test, We'd be playing, you know, Russian roulette, or Iranian roulette even better, with the survivability of our nation. No president can do that is worth the, you know, is worth the office. None. So I don't know why all this complaining is other than people are being ideological. He said we wouldn't get in any more stupid wars. Well, what makes this a stupid war? This is a brilliant war in terms of that kind of an ideology. And there are times when you have to act. This isn't about ideology. It's about prudence. Thank you for your call, my friend. Again, I want to encourage you in the audience. Please check out my video podcast, Liberty's Voice. As long as you're watching, I will do it. Stop watching. I'll move along. It's okay. But I feel like we've really got a fantastic program for you today. We really do. I address some of the issues that are taking place. with some of these neo-fascists and others. I try to address it in a, you know, respectful way, despite the kinds of things that some of them have said about me. It's interesting. I decided when Megyn Kelly said what she said, I am not going to question her physical attributes or lack thereof. I'm not going to get into that. I'm just not. Because that's so low. That she will destroy herself. I don't need to get into that stuff. And I didn't. And I'm not. I'll leave it to her. We'll be right back. Mark Levin. Let us go to Michael Marietta, Georgia, on the Mark Levinette. Michael, how are you? Excellent, sir. Thank you for taking my call. I have to tell you, these people have amnesia. I do not understand. Pearl Harbor, the Japanese took fighter jets. into our ships. Okay, then you move on to September 11th, and you've got four planes. Plains. These are just planes, and these guys are suicidal. They fly these things in there because it's a centerpiece to what is their religion. It is about martyrdom. It is about suicide. It is about this higher thing that they think they're going to get out of this. And I'm serious. These people, if they thought they could get on the back of a nuclear missile, and ride it like a horse into Israel, killing themselves. And even the Gaza Strip. It's a movie like Fell Safe. Yeah. They don't care. They don't care. I keep trying. I don't know why we have to explain this. As a nation, we experienced it over and over and over again, especially in 9-11. I don't know why we have to keep explain this. I understand the Democrats, they're the kamikazis. They're going to take our country down with them.

But your president of the United States said, all right, we're not going to get into these forever wars and these stupid wars. It's not a forever war. It's not a stupid war. It is a military operation to protect our country. Does that mean no more military operations to protect our country? Because if that's the ideology, they definitely voted for the wrong person. And if that's the ideology, we're dead. We're dead ducks. Because the Chinese are building up, the Russians are building up their nuclear arsenal. So is North Korea. Iran was doing it. I mean, are we really that suicidal? And what's the cost been to us? What's the... They're talking about a gallon of gasoline. The gallon of gasoline, seriously? It was up over $5 a gallon when Biden was president. You didn't hear them talking about, we've got to get rid of this, you know, climate change stuff because it's costing us a... No, here we're trying to get rid of an enemy. The price of a gallon's about $3.70 a gallon. It's temporary. We all know it's temporary. And they're using it to try to use it as a cudgel against our military and the commander chief. It's outrageous. And this campaign's going spectacularly well. We're only 16 days in. It's crazy. It is. It disgusts me. These people, they have their moral, their moral compass is so far off. It makes me sick to my stomach. And to hear them, it's all this Trump's Arrangement Syndrome. If it wasn't Trump, if it was any other president, we'd probably have better results. We probably have... Well, let me ask you something about that. What about these people I call the woke right neo-fascists who are attacking Trump, claiming that they're MAGA? And the president put out this statement yesterday. He said, no, I'm MAGA. They're not MAGA. And they're not that smart. And he's basically ridiculing all of them and saying you're absolutely wrong about everything you're saying. I think he threw it on the gauntlet last night. I really do. And I'm grateful to God when he does. Amen to that. Great call, Michael. Thank you. Let's go to Ed Greenville, New York, the great WDGJ. Ed, how are you? Good, thank you. I hope you're well also, Mark. Doing great. I've never been better. Oh, yes. President Trump is running a brilliant strategy, Mark. It's from Venezuela through Cuba to Iran and to China. And the U.S. Navy is perfectly capable of escorting ships through Straits of Hormoz if it needs to. But what President Trump is trying to do to borrow from a previous administration is to have these other nations have skin in the game. And why shouldn't they? Because they all is mostly for them, not us. Absolutely. And also, Mark, it's putting China on record. He offered China that they should do it also so that they can buy oil at market value instead of discounted rate that they've been getting from this terrorist nation that's been terrorizing the entire Middle East and the entire world for the last 47 years. So anybody that opposes this, and especially like these Democrats that are on the Intelligence Committee and things like this, they're being so... you know, untruthful and so dishonest in what they do. It is truly disgusting. It really is, Ed, and thank you for your excellent call, all excellent calls. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighter, emergency personnel, our truckers, the men and women in Ukraine, the men and women in Israel, the men and women in Persia.
