3/10/26 - America's Role in Reshaping Iran's Future

Hey folks, Mark Levin here. Before we dive into today's episode, I want to talk about my go-to gold and silver company. Monetary gold is over 25 years helping Americans understand physical gold and silver with an education-first, no-pressure approach, and support for IRA-eligible options. Monetary gold has a complementary guide. It's free to help you understand precious metals. Call them right now, 877 now gold, or visit mark lovesgold.com and request the free guide. Make sure to ask for details that... That's 877 now gold or visit mark lovesgold.com. Performance may vary. You should always consult your financial and tax consultant. Now let's get to the show. He's here. He's here. Now, broadcasting them from the underground command post. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

Thank you. Thank you. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-381-381-877-38-38-187-38-38-1. Welcome. The only one who can defeat our mission in Iran is us, is us. The goal is to defeat this enemy. What does that mean? Take out their Air Force, their Navy, their leadership, and leave? Well, that's not defeating an enemy. That's defeating their Air Force, their Navy, and their leadership. They have secret police. They have an entire army, infantry. They have all this sort of stuff that's there. And so it will regenerate if we leave the vacuum. This is not an argument for a democracy project. It's not an argument for hundreds of thousands of troops. It's not an argument for any of that. But I wrote a piece over at Fox News Digital. I think it was published a week or 10 days ago. And I said, we need to be thinking about what's going to happen once we are victorious over these elements of the Iranian regime. And I don't think we're giving it enough thought, quite frankly. Now, maybe the president is, and maybe his people are, but we, the people, and certainly the media. What's to come? Now, the prince has said, look, I'll be an interim leader for 100 days. He put out an entire plan. It's on the Internet. It looks like a very good plan to me. And there are others potentially, I suppose. But... If we're going to allow the price of a gallon of gasoline be determinative on what I thought was a conditions-based military operation, not a time-based military operation, we could lose. Not even lose the peace. We could lose the war after our forces withdraw from that area, which means all of this would be for naught. And I don't want it all to be for naught. I want us to be victorious. And we can be victorious. It matters the government that's there. When we defeated Japan, which you remember they attacked us on December 7, 1941, we demanded an unconditional surrender. And they sent word through emissaries to the Truman administration that they would accept the surrender but not unconditional.

And Truman said, no, unconditional. We didn't fight like this and lose all these men. And the horrors of the Japanese government for some conditional surrender. It's unconditional or nothing. And they refused. So we dropped the first atomic bomb. And they refused again. So they dropped the second atomic bomb, a completely different atomic bomb. And that was it. That's all we had, two atomic bombs, so they're hoping they would work. I'm not suggesting dropping nuclear missiles and so forth, but that's not my point. This enemy has no Navy, has no Air Force, their missiles are being destroyed. It's been a fantastic, spectacular military operation and campaign. But the end goal has to make sure, has to be sure, that it cannot regenerate. Remember how this started, the president promised the Iranian people that he would come to their rescue. And people are saying the Iranian people need to be able to rise up. There's no question about that. But their army is still heavily armed. They still have tanks. They still have armored personnel carriers. They still have the equivalent of bazookas and automatic weapons and on and on and on. I have to hope that we're arming the opposition there. I hope we are. I hope we're doing other things. I really do. But if we lose what we've done here as a result of complaints about the cost of a gallon of gasoline,

Seven, eight months before the midterm elections, what a disaster and horror that would be. I heard somebody on TV say, we never replace a government after a victory and tell them what to do. It's a lot of ignorance. Japan is what I was pointing out. We certainly did determine what that government would look like. We wrote their constitution. We had to approve who took over. We didn't fight and lose so many men to leave it to chance. And we ought not leave this to chance, ladies and gentlemen. We must not. If the purpose of the battle, the purpose of military action was needed in the first place, and it was, then you can't leave it to chance. You just can't. Again, to stress, I'm not pushing a democracy project of any kind. I'm not pushing anything other than we take the time to really figure out how we want this to be handled. And as I say, maybe the president and his people already have and they choose not to convey it. But I hear an awful lot of pressure. Endless news reports on the price of gasoline. We didn't have endless news reports on the price of gasoline when it was far more expensive than it is today as a result of climate change ideology and religion. when they were shutting down leases, shutting down drilling sites, shutting down federal lands, making it difficult, very difficult to produce oil domestically and to refine it. We didn't have those charts popping up, showing us day by day, how much the price of gasoline was going up. It's almost $5 a gallon for a premium. Almost $5 a gallon. And they drove up the price of automobiles by like $4,000, $5,000. Remember all that? The expenses were enormous. And this is temporary. It's temporary. There's plenty of oil. But the world is worried about what happens to the straits where 20% of the oil passes. Not 20% of our oil, but there's a world market out there. That would be temporary, especially if the Iranian regime and its end trails were eliminated. The straits would be wide open. I'm just cautioning you now because I heard almost a complete change in tone. It could be three weeks, four weeks, five weeks to we're pretty much done. We'll be out of there soon enough. And we'll see. By the way, a footnote for you folks out there. As you know, I worked for President Reagan for eight years, and I worked for several cabinet members, including the Attorney General of the United States. We've had this discussion before. I've never written a book, an essay, a tweet. I've never said anything behind this microphone or on TV about any of the confidential discussions I had with any of those officials.

Not once. In all the years I've been doing this. I am deeply troubled when people talk to the President of the United States, either he seeks them out or they seek him out, and then they go to Politico or the newspapers of the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post or Axios, wherever they go. And they start talking about their discussions with the President of the United States. They want to pat themselves on the head. They want to pat other people on the head. Look at me. Look at me. I find it very disloyal, and a president and cabinet secretaries, they have a right to confidentiality when they're seeking information or when somebody is providing an unsolicited. It's very troubling to me. It very much is. And so when I see names attached to that, I really, I cringe. It's bad enough that you have anonymous leakers who are basically traitors trying to persuade the president or push the engender in one direction or the other. That's bad enough. When you have people saying the president did this because I told him and I told him this and you've got to get him on a certain day with a certain weather in front of a certain sandwich or whatever they say. That is unacceptable to me. We'll be right back.

Some major U.S. banks are publishing aggressive gold scenarios for 2026, some as high as about $6,300 an ounce. While nothing about the future is guaranteed, the market has already moved faster than many expected. Meanwhile, central banks have been accumulating gold, and some estimates show that gold holdings now exceeding U.S. Treasury holdings, signaling gold's long-term confidence. Monetary gold has over 25 years helping Americans understand physical gold and silver. with an education-first, no-pressure approach and support for IRA-eligible options.

I want you to think about something, ladies and gentlemen, and this idea is not one hatched by me. It was hatched by somebody, at least the first time I saw it, online by the name of Max Twain 24. Max Twain 24. I don't know his real name, but it doesn't matter. I want you to listen to what he posts. I think it's safe for us to acknowledge that most of the people who consume... Tucker Carlson, Kelly, Owens, Steve Bannon, and so forth. They're not supporters of the president. Their audience are filled with leftists and anti-Semitic foreigners. Now, how does this person draw that conclusion? He's looking at interactive polls, one of the great polls, and they ask this question, do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling this situation in Iran? MAGA supporters, 91% approve. 6% disapprove. How about just people who identify as Republicans? 83% approve, 11% disapprove. And then, of course, it flips when you're talking about the Democrats, overwhelmingly oppose what Trump has done, and, of course, the leftists even more so. And so his point is this. Tucker Carlson opposed this military campaign. Meager Kelly. opposed this military campaign. Bloaded Steve Bannon opposed this military campaign. Eva Braun-Owens opposed this military campaign. But 91% of you support it and support the president and the troops. And so the logical conclusion with a mathematical certainty is that the vast majority of the people who are watching These podcasts are not Trump supporters, are not MAGA, are not conservatives, and are not Republicans. The vast majority. This also explains why. They play the hate America card. They play the hate the military card about the military raping, as Tucker Carlson said the other day. They play the anti-Jew card, the anti-Christian card, because they're playing to the left. They're playing to the Democrats, and they're playing the anti-Semites in Pakistan and places like that. That is exactly what's going on. And these elements on the left... The Islamists, the Marxists, the Democrats, and so forth, they love what Cotarlson's saying, what Migger Kelly's saying, what Blois Abandon is saying, what Eva Braun-Owens is saying. They love it. They love the sort of chaos they're trying to create. And so our enemies at home and abroad really make up their audience. Really make up their audience. It's a brilliant point, and the numbers bear it out. 91% of MAGA supporters support the president's handling of the situation in Iran. 6% disapprove. 83% of Republicans approve. 11% disapprove. So where are all these viewers coming from?

for individuals who are in the 6%. Well, they're not coming from Republicans. They're not coming from MAGA. They're not coming from conservatives. They're not coming from people who actually embrace their Christian faith and their Jewish faith and so forth and so on. They're coming from the enemy. Or they're coming from bigots and racists overseas. They're coming from Democrats and leftists. That is the audience. That is enriching Cotarlson. Migger Kelly, bloated Steve Bannon, Eva Braun Owens. This is their audience. These are their people. And it also meshes up with the Democrat Party. That's wide open to the Marxist and the Islamists, wide open to foreigners coming into the country, wide open to the trashmouthing of Christianity and Jews and denying the Judeo-Christian belief system. wide open to these people. That's who their audience is. Now, maybe it wasn't always their audience. Maybe many of you used to be in their audience, but the truth is the vast majority of their audience has to be these elements. Has to be. So we shouldn't be listening to them. The president shouldn't be, not that he is. The vice president shouldn't. The cabinet members shouldn't. Members of Congress shouldn't. Many members of Congress are cowards, and I include especially Republicans who won't call these people out. There was a wonderful event with National Review and a Republican Jewish Coalition on the issue of anti-Semitism. Many Christians spoke out, leading Christians, many politicians who are Christian, not Jews. Jews spoke out as well.

I want to give a salute to Senator Cotton to Ted Cruz and the others who spoke out. Because ladies and gentlemen, the Republican establishment of Washington, D.C., other than a handful, is silent. Top people in the administration other than the president and the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State are silent. That's not going to fly. It's certainly not going to fly with we Levinites, the millions of us. If it's too difficult to denounce people who embrace Nazism and neo-fascism, well, then you're in the wrong party. But this is a very, very important revelation that the following, significant following, that these individuals have are not red-blooded Americans, patriots. Quite the opposite. I'll be right back.

We are the tea party. Call in now 877381-381. When you look online, when you look online at all the people who... Say the most hateful things imaginable. The most hateful things imaginable. Well, I don't believe those are people either. Some of them, no doubt, but most of them know. Most of them know. That's not who we are. That's not who we are. Liberty's Voice today is a great show. And you can check it out on Rumble and YouTube. And I actually decided to jump into Aristotle and look at a couple of words that I think are important, especially now, words like prudence and virtue and morality.

All of which Aristotle wrote about a great length. The genius of all geniuses, really. He was a student of Plato. Plato was a student of Socrates. But Aristotle was incredible, as were others. But to me, he was in terms of ancient philosophers, truly number one. And I'm not alone. Your founding fathers felt exactly the same way. And so I went from Aristotle and focused on mostly prudence and virtue. What do they mean? Why are they important? Why are they important in your own life? I think that's relatively obvious. But why are they important in our polity, in our society, in our culture? And when decisions are made, like a president making a decision? It cannot be ideological. Hey, no forever wars. Hey, hey, America first, when they don't even know what they're talking about. And most of the people who say that, these podcasters, they don't mean America first. They mean fortress America, a phrase that Ronald Reagan used to denounce the isolationists. You can't have other countries arming up for war and we're isolationists. And you can't have, you can't wait for nuclear missiles to be in flight before you realize there's an imminent threat. So this is irrational. This is illogical. Go back and read George Washington's farewell address. A lot of the isolationists use it to say, see that? He said no foreign entanglements. George Washington was referring to what? France and Britain, the two most fireball armies on the face of the earth. The United States was being pulled by one and the other to join ranks with one or the other. And even within his cabinet, he had had individuals who were in support of one or the other. Jefferson, the French, Hamilton, the British. And the country was largely divided as well. And that's what he meant, no foreign entanglements. He didn't mean don't have any allies. And he also says in that speech, It's important to have allies. And he says in subsequent speeches that it's important to have a military that's ready to fight and that foreign adversaries and enemies be aware that we're able and ready to fight. I've studied that man backwards and forwards, as I have most of them. As I have most of them. No president can look down the... The silo of a potential nuclear weapon in an enemy that says we're going to have 11 nuclear weapons in 10 days and sit on his hands. No rational president could do that. The Democrats, though, they had one that paved the way for nuclear weapons, Obama, and the other that was paying for them, Biden. And you can see the Democrat Party is an institution. The way that they're trying to undermine our military and our president. Much like those individuals I'm talking about, the woke, right, neo-fascist isolationist, they're giving aid and comfort to the enemy, which is exactly why they're quoted by the enemy. They're quoted by the enemy. And there's a reason they hate Benjamin Netanyahu, too, apart from a lot of the reasons we already know, because he's an incredibly successful leader of Israel.

And for the left and the Democrats, when Benjamin Netanyahu, I think it was 2015, spoke to a joint meeting of Congress. And I was in the gallery, watching it. Denouncing the Iran deal, denouncing in his own way, as politely as he could, the Obama deal, the Democrats turned on Benjamin Netanyahu and the state of Israel from that point forward and forevermore. And I strongly believe, in addition to the loathsome Jew hatred and anti-Semitism and self-hatred of Americans, anti-Americanism by these podcast or these Kabbalists, I call them, that their audience now is made up of these people. That's their audience. You don't have millions of red-blooded Americans listening to somebody talking about our troops. Our troops will rape. the women and girls in Iran if there's an unconditional surrender. You don't have them talking this way. You don't have millions of Americans listening to somebody who's basically saying that Hitler was misunderstood and Churchill created an extended World War II. Millions of Americans, no. Especially conservatives? No way. No way. And so this has finally been figured out. It's actually quite logical and simple that these people are making their money, some probably from foreign governments as well, but beyond that, that their audience is made up of unpatriotic, in many cases, foreigners, Islamists, Democrats, Marxists, who love to hear the trashing of Donald Trump by people who claim to be a Trump supporter of part of MAGA. Again, many of you perhaps used to watch them, but you've dropped them, right? Well, somebody's picked up the ball, and that's who's picked up the ball. So today's podcast, and I don't want to be repetitious, so I don't do the same show on radio that I do on the podcast or on TV or whatever, and there's so much to talk about anyway. I use these platforms in different ways, but again, to draw the biggest audience as possible to radio. to the video podcast under the TV program because that's what matters. To build this electoral and patriotic juggernaut. That's the goal. And so we went deep with Aristotle, we went deep on philosophy, and then I applied it to the war with Iran. Isolationism and interventionism and thisism and that ism, that's not the test. Forever wars, you hear people on TV and radio, we don't want any more Forever Wars. Well, what does that even mean? What it means is you don't want stupid wars. But that's not what they mean. They mean never take military action. Never, unless we're struck first. That's called suicide. Cut one, Mr. Producer, go. If the Democrats were in power, what would they do? Well, we know what they would do. What did Obama do? He signed a deal that ensured that that regime would get a nuclear weapon, just not on his watch. So outrageous. Benjamin Netanyahu came to the United States Congress he was so concerned about it and urged the Congress to vote against it. This is one of the reasons that Democrats hate him, because he took on their deal and he took on their president, our president, Obama, and he did it publicly. And this is why they hate Benjamin Netanyahu, hate him, hate him, hate him. The reason the woke right.

The isolationists, the ideologues, the reason they hate Benjamin Netanyahu is because he's the greatest leader Israel's ever had and he's defended that country like nobody else could. And when we say he's the Churchill of the Middle East, if not the Churchill of our times, there's a reason for that. They hate him because he's a great leader. The reason they hate Trump because he's a great leader. If they weren't great men and great leaders, they wouldn't hate them. because they'd be failures, and they would see an opportunity for power. That's quite literally what's taking place. Quite literally what's taking place. I can't tell you how impressed I am always was, but with our Secretary of War, Hague said he's been absolutely fantastic. And when we come back, I want you to hear some of the things he had to say, very important. I also want to get into, back to New York. And this Bandami, we talked at length yesterday, and I'm not going to repeat it, about his outrageous comments, went to Islaman Nazis, tried to slaughter civilians and cops with IEDs, too stupid to get them to work properly, apparently. And they checked their homes in Pennsylvania, and they found a whole lot more. And they're going on about Akbar and things of that sort. They're confessing. They're very proud of themselves. But now we know the mayor had dinner with Khalil, as supporter of Hamas. You see, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is not a Zooty Jasser. He's not the assistant manager of my bank. A wonderful man, a good friend, a Muslim gentleman. He's not that. He's an Islamist. That's what he is. Just like his wife. Just like his wife. I'll be right back.

Just to underscore this point, after we destroyed the Japanese regime in World War II, we wrote their Constitution. And we installed a government that would be aligned with us. We weren't going to leave it the chance. That after all we went through, not after the grave threat that we faced. So we now must give focus thought to what comes after the Iranian regime's Navy, Air Force, and missiles have been destroyed. And their top leadership. It still has a standing army, still has secret police, as an entire Islamist supporting infrastructure. There are, no doubt, many approaches to dealing with this short of a democracy project or hundreds of thousands of ground troops. But make no mistake, if a void is created and we don't fill it, it will be filled. It will be filled by these other forces. It will be filled by the communist Chinese and the fascistic Russians. It will be filled. And that country will be lost, and those people will be enslaved as they are now. There's simply no question about it. The isolationists, the forever war types, as well as the others. We don't want a forever war, and we don't want a World War III. After World War I, Germany... in other countries I were defeated, were left destitute and impoverished. In fact, the victors forced a peace agreement on them that required to allow us to remove most of their industries. Physical plant. And so Germany and the others, they had a massive depression. Their money was worthless. People were starving. And, of course, it created an environment, which would eventually lead to the communists and the fascists fighting with each other for control over that country. Now, obviously, this is the shortest of short versions. It's a very complicated, but...

compelling story and one day I'll do it. And Germany was, prior to this, probably the most advanced country on the face of the earth, technologically, and sciences and physics and the arts, architecture, if not the one of the top two or three, but I think it was the most advanced. Shocking. that eventually a country like that would be led by a thug, by a mass murder. It happened, and it can happen again, which is why yours truly is so outspoken. Despite efforts to silence me, whether it's by sponsors or affiliates or audience members or so forth, and I want to thank those who stick with us here because what I'm talking about is Americanism and their survival of our liberty. That's the bottom line, isn't it? It can happen anywhere, including in an advanced society. You see what's taking place in New York City. under an Islamist mayor. You see what's taking place in other parts of our country. We now have a restaurant in San Jose where a Jewish man is merely eating his food and he's jumped by three guys and they beat the hell out of him and he jumps up to try and fight back. Nobody intervenes to help him. It's videoed and people are yelling for them to get off of him. But they attacked him because he was on his cell phone speaking Hebrew to somebody. And the police, sadly enough there, seemed to be relatively disinterested in this. We see what's taking place in Toronto, Canada. Three synagogues in the period of a few days or a few hours. All were sprayed with bullets. Three of them. Three of them. And so much more. And so much more. This isn't just about Jews. It's about Christians. It's not just about Christians. It's about Americans. It's about we the people. Red-blooded Americans. 20 years ago, this was not going on and we would not have put up with it. Ten years ago, this was not going on and we would not have put up with it. Now it's everywhere you look, isn't it? Everywhere. 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. Yellow, yellow, hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number is 877-381, 3811, 877. 3811. We want you to follow us on Liberty's Voice over at Rumble and join us over YouTube. I know you're going to have a good time. Today's show is really unique. I think you'll see how unique it is if you give it a shot. Liberty's Voice at Rumble, which has been great, really great to us in YouTube. So Pete Hegseth had a press conference this morning. laying out what's taking place very important cut to mr producer go the mullahs are desperate and scrambling like the terrorist cowards they are they fire missiles from schools and hospitals deliberately deliberately targeting innocence because they know their military is being systematically and by the way this is what the Israelis have had to put up with over and over and over again with the uh palestinians The Hamas Palestinians in Gaza over and over and over again, and the whole world and their propaganda operation, including in our country, turned on them, and we'll see how long it takes until they turn on us, that is the media. They're starting to, with respect to this, even have some conservatives saying, we need to know about that, that missile that hit that school. Was it us or was it the enemy? Well, first of all, it was us. It was a horrible mistake. If it's the enemy, it's intentional. So, I mean, there is a clear moral divide. Is there not just some of these people need to preen. They need to be dramatic. They need to create a scenario where they're viewed as independent and, you know, and so forth. I just don't operate that way. If something's right or something's wrong, that's the way it is. If something's an accident and something's intentional, there's a moral distinction. We don't target schools. The enemy does, whether they're the Palestinians or whether the Iranian regime. That's what they do. Go ahead. Iran's neighbors and in some cases former allies in the Gulf, they've abandoned them. And their proxies, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Hamas, either broken. ineffective or on the sidelines. Or in case of Hezbollah under attack by the Israelis who are brutally attacking them now because they were firing missiles into Israel trying to help out their Iranian masters. Go ahead. And they are badly losing. Cut three, go. On day 10 of Operation Epic Fury, we are winning. with an overwhelming and unrelenting focus on our objectives, which are the same as the day I gave my first briefing here on Operation Epic Fury. They're straightforward, and we are executing them with ruthless precision. One, destroy their missile stockpiles, their missile launchers, and their defense industrial base. Missiles and their ability to make them.

destroy their Navy, and three, permanently deny Iran nuclear weapons forever. It's a laser-focused maximum authority mission delivered with overwhelming and unrelenting precision. No hesitation, no half measures. As President Trump declared yesterday, we're crushing the enemy in an overwhelming display of technical skill and military force. We will not relent until the enemy is totally and decisively defeated. But we do so. We do so on our timeline and at our choosing. And General Kane, Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Also at the press conference this morning, cut four ago. Since our last update, CENTCOM continues to make progress across the southern flank. To date, they've struck more than 5,000 targets. U.S. Strategic Command bombers recently dropped dozens of 2,000-pound GPS penetrating weapons on deeply buried missile launchers across the southern flank. We also have struck several one-way drone factories to get at the heart of their autonomous capability. And of course, alongside our regional partners along the southern flank, continue to execute intercepts against one-way attack drones using fighters and attack helicopters. Our strikes mean we've made significant progress in reducing the number of missile and drone attacks out of Iran. Ballistic missile attacks continue to trend downward, 90% from where they've started, and one-way attack drone has decreased 83% since the beginning of the operation. A testament to our air defenders and our air defense systems, and as I said, our partners in the region continue to do great work as well. Mm-hmm. Partners being the Israelis. And then let's move to Mr. Producer. Cut six. Nancy Cordes, CBS. Let's see what question she had at a press conference today. Cut six. Go. The president said yesterday for the first time that he had to strike Iran because he believes that Iran was going to strike U.S. targets within seven days. And then he then bumped that down later to three days. Where is he getting that? Well, that's not the first time the president has said that he chose to launch Operation Epic Fury because he felt as though Iran was going to strike the United States and our assets in the region first. But there are no U.S. leaders or Israeli leaders who are making those same claims. Excuse me. excuse me this is why I get fed up we interviewed Steve Witkoff we had the first long-form interview of Steve Witkoff of anybody and he explained this a great length we took that interview we removed the commercials we put it on online a handful of news services really good ones ran with it not a single network did

They pretended didn't exist. And Steve Witkoff explained then that the negotiators for the Iranian regime said to them, he and Jared Kushner, that in 10 days we will have 11 nuclear warheads. We have 22,000 pounds of nuclear material. We're not giving up any of it. We're not turning over any of it to you. We're not giving to you at the negotiation table, which you couldn't get in your bombing mission in June. We're not giving it to a third party. And they weren't giving anything, and they weren't agreeing to anything. And they said they would have 11 of these bombs within 10 days. Now, I don't know what's wrong with reporters, the Democrats, even people on our side. That's what was said on the record by Steve Witkoff, to me, to millions of you listening on the radio. We recorded it. We made it available. It seemed awfully newsworthy to us and to you. So we know why the president made this decision. Because the enemy confessed to what they had. And so the president has to make a determination right there and then. And this is why I went into the whole thing today on the video podcast on Liberty's Voice about Aristotle and prudence and wisdom and making decisions and how you make decisions. It's not ideological. It's more philosophical and principled and all that, which I think you'll find interesting. But nonetheless, the president is in charge. He's the commander in chief. He knows what this regime is. He knows its ideology. He knows what it's done in the past. And he had to make a decision. Now, it seems to me any president who cares about his own country wouldn't wait with that information. And he acted. So why do we get these dumb questions? Truly dumb questions. And then we have the Elizabeth Warrens, the Richard Bloomberg's, the other morons. They come out of these briefings and they say, I have more questions and answers. What's the mission? Well, we know what the mission is. It's obvious. And the military that's carrying out the mission, they know what the mission is. The Democrats play rope-a-dope. They're doing everything they can to sabotage this mission. I told you they have their own mission. It's called Operation Sabotage. Whether it's to turn the War Powers Act into a pretzel and use it to obstruct what's taking place, whether it's defunding the Coast Guard defunding TSA, their war on ice trying to defund ice so they can't protect us from terrorists. The Democrat Party is a kamikaze party, anything for power. And let me be clear about this, really clear about this. And Eric Erickson pointed this out too, but I have myself. The Democrat Party has commercials ready. Commercials ready that if something happens to our country as a result of them defunding our protection, as a result of them defunding the blue wall, whether it's the Coast Guard, the TSA, ICE, or whatever it is. And they've already said it's Trump's fault. It's the Republicans' fault. They won't agree to what we want. Meanwhile, the Republicans keep voting to fund, and the Democrats keep voting against funding.

It's time for a little spring cleaning, and I know where to start. Go drag your old dated wireless contract out of the closet and beat it with a broom. Then freshen things up by switching to Pure Talk, my wireless company. That gives you unlimited talk text and plenty of data, just $25 a month, with no contract, no cancellation fees, and no overseas customer service if you ever need help. I'm guessing you're going to like them as much as my listener, Paul, from Greer, South Carolina. He says, I finally listen to Mark Levin' advice and... from Verizon. I'm getting the very same service for less than half of what I was paying Verizon. You know, I long wondered if these much lower services could provide the same level of service as the big boys. Now I know that pure talk certainly can. Thank you, Paul. Now it's time for you folks to make the switch too. Go to puretalk.com slash Levin. PureTalk.com slash L-E-V-I-N and you'll save 50% of your first month. That's puretalk.com slash L-E-V-I-N and switch to a wireless company that shares your values. Pure Talk, America's wireless company.

Now, Rand Paul, and he's an extreme libertarian, isolationist, like his father was and is. These are not constitutional conservatives. They are what they are. The woke Reich, R-E-I-C-H, they're all predicting that we're going to get whacked in the midterm elections, and they might be right. You know why? Because of them. And so they're trying to put out propaganda to cover their asses. They don't intend to unite around anybody, not Trump, not the Republican Party, not the conservative movement. No, they're out on their own. These are true unhidged whack jobs, psychopaths. And this is their goal. Because remember who the real audience is. The real audience is the Marxists, the Islamists, the Democrats, the anti-Semites overseas, the Christian bashers, that's their audience. Because the opposite of that, those who believe in the Constitution and individual liberty, those who believe in the Judeo-Christian belief system and values, those who believe that, yes, sometimes you need to take preemptive steps like George Washington warned in order to protect your country, which should be obvious by now, given all the military operations we've been through, that that's really America first. That's peace through strength, as explained by Reagan and Trump.

But they're going to want you to believe that if we only listen to them, if you only hate the Jews and hate the Christians, and if you only embraced Islam, and if you only destroyed the Republican Party, if you only listen to them, then we'd be in the majority. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? That's what you have to believe. That's a political suicide. Absolute political suicide. So we get this really a useless senator, this Rand Paul, on Fox business today. You recall when Trump took out Soleimani, he objected to that. He went on TV and said that was outrageous. We shouldn't do that either. There's some people you just have to write off America and dismiss as too damn crazy to take seriously. But the guy's a senator. It's like, don't you believe in free speech? Why don't you debate this guy and debate this guy and debate this guy? You debate a lot of guys who are unknown, but some who are known, some who are doing the dirty work of the enemy. Why would you debate them? You want to defeat them. What's the debate? If you're Catholic, should I debate the right of your faith to exist, the legitimacy of your faith? If you're a Protestant, Should I debate the right of your faith to exist in the history of your faith and insist that it doesn't exist? I mean, it makes no sense. That's not a debate. And look what this guy tried to do to Mike Huckabee. Cutting and slice in the interview. Asking the weirdest damn questions imaginable. It didn't change anybody's mind. The same people were behind Mike Huckabee, and the inside insane were behind Tucker Carlson. So here's Rand Paul, cut eight, go. One reason is that we want to free the Iranian people from oppression. I have a great deal of sympathy. I want people to be free around the world. But if our foreign policies to free oppress people, I'm not sure where war would end. I mean, there are many people that are said to be oppressed in China, Tibet, the Uyghurs. You know, the sad thing is he didn't read my book, Liberty and Tyranny, and I've a whole chapter on this. The fact is the president has said, it's interesting he puts it this way. But we're not going to war with China to free the Uyghurs or the Tibetans, are we? No, we're not. We're not going to war with Russia to free the Chechnyans, are we? No, we're not. We're not going to war with North Korea to free the North Koreans, are we? No, we're not. And so as a rational human being, you understand that we can't do that. Number one, it wouldn't work. Number two, we'd cease to exist. We don't have the resources to do it. The American people don't want to do it. So we got all that. So he has a straw man here. On the other hand, we're talking about Iran, a country that wants to blow us off the face of the earth, a country that keeps trying to build nuclear weapons, a country that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have told us were within 10 days of having 11 nuclear warheads because that's what they were told. 22,000 pounds of nuclear material.

A country that, a regime that's been attacking us for half a century and killing Americans. Ukraine's not doing that. No other country in the face of the earth is doing that. The Islamic regime in Tehran is doing that. They're weaker than they've ever been. And so Rand Paul's caught up in his ideology. It's not prudential. It's not virtuous. It's propaganda. He's an isolationist no matter what the threat. That's why he'll never be president of the United States. That's why he votes with the Democrats 90% of the time when it comes to foreign policy. That's why at one point it was either he or his father, so we ought to cut the fence by 25%. While the Chinese are building up for a world war, is that peace through strength? No, it's appeasement, it's pacifism, it's isolationism, which will get us killed. I'll be right back. It's time for a little spring cleaning, and I know where to start. Go drag your old dated wireless contract out of the closet and beat it with a broom. Then freshen things up by switching to Pure Talk, my wireless company.

Pure Talk, America's wireless company. Mark Levin, on the front line of Liberty. Call in now 877-381-3811. Karoline Leavitt at the White House press briefing today. But before we get to her, this Save America Act, the Democrats are going to fight this tooth and now because they don't want people to be required to prove their citizenship, even in the most modest way, with a picture, a photograph ID. Republicans support it, Democrats support it. People of all races and faith support it. And the media don't support it. The media regurgitate whatever the Democrats tell them to regurgitate and vice versa. They want you to believe it's anti-black. Jim Crow 2.0. Number one, Jim Crow 1.0, that's all Democrat all the time. But how is it Jim Crow? It applies to everybody equally. Everybody equally. And everybody knows you need an ID for a thousand different things, including government programs and hotels and rental cars and beer and cigarettes. Some of you have legalized pot. Whatever it is. You need an ID. You want to get on an airplane? You need an ID. Even you want to get on a train, you need an ID. You want to get into certain nightclubs. You need an ID.

You want to get into the DNC? You need an ID. You want to get into the Democrat National Convention? You need an ID. You want to volunteer to shovel snow in Manhattan or the rest of New York City? You need an ID. There's a long list of things you need an ID for. But they're too hard to get. Now listen to how racist this is. This discriminates against black people. That's what they mean about Jim Crow 2.0. Because according to Chuck Schumer, one of the whitest people you'll ever see, black people don't know how to get an ID. Black people don't know how to get a driver's license. Now, isn't that racist? Not only that, they say, married women. You married women out there. You're going to be discriminated against. You all have trouble getting an ID. How many married women out there have trouble getting an ID? I mean, are we supposed to pretend we're stupid in order to believe Chuck Schumer and the Democrats? Jim Crow 2.0? Now, conversely, let me ask you this. If you don't have an ID with a picture on it, how do we know you are who you say you are? How do we know? You got 11 states, 10 that are Democrat, one that's teetering, where they don't have any ID. So how do you know if it's the person who says they are? You don't. How do you know they're not voting twice, once in one precinct, once in another? You don't. How do you know if they're not using somebody else's name? You don't. There's no ID, and it's illegal to ask for one. And those states have an impact on federal elections. Now, everybody with two brain cells to rub together knows why the Democrats don't want an ID. Because they're counting on fraud. Why do Democrats insist that ICE may not operate near a voting place? I mean, isn't that where you want them to make sure illegal aliens are in voting or to discourage illegal aliens from voting? Why would that be one of the so-called reform measures that they've thrown down and said, TSA doesn't get paid, the Coast Guard doesn't get paid, the Secret Service doesn't get paid, FEMA doesn't get paid, unless, among other things, you prevent ICE from going to voting places. to get illegal aliens. I am telling you they're like the mob. They're relying on illegal aliens to muscle up the number of congressional districts and electoral college votes. They're relying on birthright citizenship to keep producing Democrats. They're relying on ICE having to stand down at voting places, at precincts, of all places. I mean, doesn't that reveal everything? And they insist no government-issued photograph IDs at the voting place. They're government-issued. What if people can't afford it? Who can't afford it? But you know what's in the bill? Subsidies. A thousand different ways to help somebody get an ID.

30 years ago this wasn't controversial, but we have a new Democrat Party. They want Islamists, they want Marxists, they want illegal aliens. They don't want to enforce their immigration laws. They want you to think that having an identification that you're a citizen is like Jim, you know, it's like when the Democrats call people Nazis and Hitler because they disagree with them. If you're a black person and any of your family was involved in the awful discrimination that took place or to go back to the period of slavery, you should be really pissed off right about now that a guy like Chuck Schumer, that a guy like Chuck Schumer and his party are insisting to use you and your experiences as a defense for voter fraud. If somebody votes twice, they are, excuse me, neutralizing your vote. If somebody votes who's not supposed to be voting, they're neutralizing your vote. If somebody votes multiple times, they're neutralizing your vote. Black, white, brown, yellow, green, red, it doesn't matter. Chuck Schumer is the equivalent of a modern day George Wallace. Hello, he is. Because what he's saying is everybody should vote, even if you don't have a right to vote, which means your vote can be canceled out by somebody's vote who's not supposed to be voting or voting twice or voting for dead people or whatever the issue is. And Chuck Schumer doesn't want to know. He just knows that his party benefits from this. You know damn well. If Republicans benefited from this, Chuck Schumer would be all over it. That's all he cares about power. The power of his party. That's all he gives a damn about, ever. Same with Bernie Sanders. Same with all of them. Here's Karoline Leavitt with some moron reporter. Cut 14, go. One of the biggest things that the Democrats are saying, the claims that they're making is that the Save America Act... it would prevent married women from voting in elections or make it harder for them. What do you have to say to those claims? Is there any validity to them? And where do you think they're getting this from? There is zero validity to these claims. And I'm glad that you brought them up because you have the Democrats who have created this myth. And it has been perpetuated, unfortunately, by many in the mainstream media. Let me be very clear. The Save America Act does not prohibit anyone from voting with the exception of illegal aliens. And the greatest way to disenfranchise American citizens. from voting in American elections is to allow illegal aliens to vote, which is what Democrats want to do. We see it taking place in Democrat jurisdictions at the state and local level across this country. So the Save America Act corrects that. And as far as married women who have changed their name, if they're already registered to vote, they're entirely unaffected by the Save Act. And for the small fraction of individuals who have changed their name or their address, they can still register to vote. Of course, they just have to go through their state processes to update that.

documentation and this is something that the American people married women and minorities and people all across this country who Democrats are insultingly saying cannot do this they're already doing it every day going to the Social Security office going to the DMV and I think it's frankly insulting that the Democrats are saying that there are certain groups of people in this country who aren't smart enough to update their documentation to allow them to vote again this is a huge myth They're literally sitting around the Democrats coming up with straw men arguments that are racist and misogynist that are stereotypical. And they're going to use Jim Crow where American citizens who are black were prevented from voting and compare that to... We just need a voter ID, a picture ID for you to vote. And by the way, we don't care what race you are, what sex you are, but what religion you are, everybody has to show it. It has absolutely nothing to do with poll taxes and literacy tests and other forms of obstructing black people from voting.

We know from the polls. Black people want honest voting too. When you go to vote, you want to know that the process has integrity. And the Democrats are saying, ladies in general, we've never done this before in our history. This is all new. We used to have paper ballots. You want an absentee vote. You had to demonstrate why you couldn't show up. Maybe you were sick. Maybe you were out of town. Maybe you were disabled. something like that, but you couldn't just say, I want an absentee ballot, I'm going to mail it in. It didn't work that way. And you had to sign under penalty of perjury that you meant one of the requirements. Other of that, you show up in person. Why? Because they needed to know who you were, and you had to prove that you were who you were. Now it's controversial with the Democrats who are trying to create controversy around it. There's nothing controversial about it. Cut 15. Chuck Schumer Chuck Schumer. Go. This is a bill that destroys the country, and it is not about showing ID. This is a bill that destroys the country? This is why he's so thoroughly despised. This is a bill that destroys the country. Almost every democracy in the world has a requirement that you have to show who you are. And we used to do it all over the country. And then the Democrats decided they didn't want to do it. Oh, gee, I willickers. I wonder why. Another president is saying, this is enough. Somebody has to put their foot down. You have to be an American citizen in order to vote. Wow. That's like racism in the 1950s and 60s. What? You idiot? What? So you have these white leftist Democrats who are power hungry. And the black community, 76% says, no, we think that's a good idea. The Latino community, 83% says, no, we think that's a good idea. The white community, I think it's 86, 88%. Now, we think that's a good idea, too. Democrats, yeah, we think that's a good idea. Republican, yeah, we think that's a good idea. Independence, yeah, we think it's a good idea. The only ones who don't want it are the elected Democrats. They know something we don't know, don't they, except we do know. I'll be right back.

It was a remarkable event with National Review and the Republican Jewish Coalition. You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate it. And I want to play a little bit of information statements by Senator Tom Cotton, Senator Ted Cruz, perhaps others if we have time. We also have a great guest coming up. And folks, don't forget to check out Liberty's Voice, my new video podcast at Rumble and YouTube. Jump in, both feet. I'll be right back.

So find on the front lines on the Mark Levin podcast feed wherever you get your podcast. Please subscribe now. Join us on the front lines of freedom, faith, and fellowship. 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. Hello, America, Mark Levin, here, our number 877-381-381-3811. You know, Ted Cruz doesn't have to come out and publicly do the things that he's doing. He could be like most of the other politicians and hide or complain behind the scenes, whispered campaign. But that's not Cruz. He's a very, very solid patriot, just like Tom Cotton and I'll get to him in a moment. But Ted Cruz has been out there. He's been doing a public service to the entire nation. He's not Jewish, obviously. But it doesn't matter. He is Christian, just like Mike Huckabee, just like cotton, just like so many other righteous Gentiles who've had enough. And they know the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. And Ted Cruz has been out there fighting like hell. And he was at this event. that I was talking about, this anti-Semitism, anti-Antisemitism event, and I want to salute National Review and our friends at RJC. No, I wasn't invited. People know where I stand, and I have a microphone right now. I'm talking about it right now. Cut 11, go. At the very beginning of National Review. Buckley had a moment where he said no to the anti-Semites. They're not welcome in our party, and that changed the course of history for decades. We are at a moment that, if anything, is more consequential now. And I will tell you, there are costs to this. So virtually every single one of my colleagues in the Senate on the Republican side agrees with me and has said, you're absolutely right. Thank you for taking this on. And yet almost none of them.

We'll say Tucker Carlson's name. Because there is a cost. I could tweet this morning, good morning. And hundreds of anti-Semitic responses would immediately fill my social media. Turns out I've seen many times an image of myself in a bikini with the flag of Israel. I never knew that I look quite fetching in a bikini. And I will say there is virtue. One of the things, look, there are many lessons one can learn from President Trump, but one of the lessons is just to not give a damn. There is a power to fearlessness. There is a power to speak in the truth and letting the idiots say what they will. He's so right. Cut 12, go. To show you just how anti-Semitism leads to anti-Americanism, what is Tucker Carlson saying this week? He's saying Donald Trump is called for unconditional surrender in Iran. When you surrender unconditionally, what it means is that soldiers can rape your wives and your daughters. And so if Iran surrenders to America, American soldiers will rape the women in Iran. That is a grotesque lie. And by the way, American soldiers have not done that in any war we have fought. And yet Tucker Carlson is willing to impugn the entire American military. And then he also says, the other way to do it is we can drop nuclear weapons on Iran. And he says, I believe we're getting ready to nuke Iran. That gives you the sense. By the way, right now, the Iranian TV is playing Tucker Carlson's show across Iran. The Muslim Brotherhood is tweeting out Tucker Carlson's show. They have decided he is the most effective spokesperson for their message, which is that America is the great Satan. Senator Tom Cotton, another fantastic patriot who has guts. Cut nine, go. I know many of you are also concerned, though, about a seeming rise of anti-Semitism among influencers on the erstwhile right. Now, I use sarcastic air quotes for a reason. First off, these influencers are perceived to be on the right. And maybe they once were, maybe they once wrote for, center-right magazines. Maybe they once worked for center-right websites or media companies. But I do not agree that I share a political movement or a political party with anyone who traffics in anti-Semitism. And for that matter, Doesn't just traffic in anti-Semitism, or at least adjacent to anti-Semitism, shares Elizabeth Warren's economic policies. Or Rashida Tlaib's foreign policy. Because if you notice, these so-called influencers,

Like anti-Semites usually do, often have a deep antipathy to free market capitalism. Whatever their views once were, they have since adopted, indeed, Elizabeth Warren's economic policies. They also, as I said, share Rashida Tlaib's foreign policy, which could be summed up, as Jean Kirkpatrick once said, blame America first. They always blame America first. If they're not blaming Israel first, it's a close competition. Cut 10, go. So the question is, why did people have to make up the word influencer? And I think the answer is the time-tested, old-fashioned, sturdy word, influential does not apply to them. They are not influential. They are at least not influential with Donald Trump, who continues to reject their kooky advice. They are not influential with Republicans in the Senate who continue to reject their kooky advice. And if you look at public opinion polls, they are least influential of all with normal voting Republicans all across the country.

Self-identified Maga Republicans. There's polls out there you can identify them. The pollster asks the respondent, are you a Republican? Do you identify as a Maga Republican or let's call it a traditional Republican? Self-identified Maga Republicans are more supportive in general of the president's foreign policy than self-identified traditional Republicans. Think about that. People who are asked to identify as a Maga Republican with Donald Trump are more in favor of bombing the hell on the Ayatollahs than self-identified traditional Republicans. So it's clear that these influencers don't have much influence where it matters. So important what both of these men are saying. So important. what senator cotton said right there and then the next step is what i pointed out earlier in the program so who's in their audience it's not most of you it's democrats who like what they're doing to republicans conservatives and meg and trump it's marxists who like what they're doing to trump in our military It's Islamists who agree when they trash Jews and Christians and Americanism. It's foreign, foreign aliens who are not supportive of our country, who are attracted to those who are attacking our country from within. These are the greatest turncoats, the greatest traitors, the greatest traitors.

Because they camouflage themselves as MAGA. They camouflage themselves as Republican. They camouflage themselves as conservative, as Tea Party, as Trump, as whatever it is. While they're making money off the enemy and supporters of the enemy who can't get enough of them. Because they're undermining our country in the middle of a war. I'll be right back.

You know, there's a gentleman out there, Dr. James Lindsay, who I've become fond of, the things he writes, the things he says. I actually think I quoted you in one of my recent books. You know, I go through so much research and so over, but I remember you. And you say very profound things, and you say them in a very pithy way, which is not easy, but I enjoy reading it. How are you, sir? I'm great. Thank you for having me. Well, it's my pleasure. So let's just... take a broad look at this you see what's happening online you see these woke rike types what do you think and i've seen what you've written and so forth what do you think is driving this this this effort to put a wedge between jews and christians this effort to sort of redefine americanism what do you what do you see is driving this Well, I mean, there's a number of factors that don't want to make it complicated, but number one is previously the forces that don't agree with President Trump out in the world, whether they're foreign or domestic, sought to undermine President Trump from the outside. They, you know, so much as even trying to put a bullet in his head in Butler, Pennsylvania. And, you know, we saw all the different campaigns, whether it's the Russia campaign, whether it's the impeachment or whatever, they couldn't take him from the outside. So now they're trying to take him from the inside. They have to undermine him from the inside. So I think that this is one thing is to undermine Trump and his agenda, but it's also to reorganize the Republican Party around a completely different politics, much more radical politics and identity-based politics to remove us from the American experiment. where everybody who is an American is an American. If you're a citizen, you're a citizen, okay, get a job. That's our, that's kind of our motto, right, or the way we think about the world. And no, it's not going to be that. We're going to be a people in a place, which sounds a lot like blood and soils. We're going to have a new kind of European conservatism, which we can look to Europe and see didn't work. It didn't conserve anything. It doesn't work. And so the reorganized Republican Party around this new radical right-wing politics that's been excluded for 75 years from the American project. And then thirdly, on the global stage, what's happening around Israel, what's happening in the Middle East, is key to so many things that are happening, whether it's the Belt and Road Initiative for China, whether it's Russia's ambitions in the region. There are lots of huge global concerns, whether it's oil prices and oil transport and shipping lanes. There are huge concerns there. And as long as the United States and Israel remains staunch-firm allies, Western interests are represented and protected in that region from some of the worst people on the planet. So they have to interrupt that as well. What do you think is influencing these so-called influencers, which obviously don't have a lot of influence? Senator Cotton pointed out, others are pointing it out that when you look at the polls, MAGA's 91% behind the president's handling of this war, whereas these so-called influencers, these woke right types, they're like 100% against. So what is it that is motivating them or driving them, do you think?

Well, I think that there's kind of a convergence of interests. I think on the one hand, some of them do have a different radical politics that they would love to see the right wing of America adopt. And so they're ideological in that way. Tucker Carlson, for example, is at least partly this. He's famously a paleo conservative. He's taken up strongly with Pat Buchanan, as many of the others have, which is a different vision than President Trump offered for the Republican Party when he came in in 2016. So there's an ideological component. There's undoubtedly a component that has to do with, you know, likely it has to do with money that people are being paid or that they're just chasing clicks. They're chasing opportunity online. For whatever reason, these things are amplified and boosted often by foreign actors, but also by bot farms and networks. And they're all making money hand over fist. So there are these very prosaic explanations as well. But ultimately, what I think it is is that goal to reorganize both the Republican Party and our relationship with Israel and the world so that the larger global interests that we are able to defend as we are right now fall out of our hands and our ability to defend them. Is there sort of this Russian sci-op activity taking place? You know, people have been writing about this. You've talked about it somewhat, too. Is this part of the plan to destroy the West in the United States in particular? I feel like the answer to that is kind of obviously, yes. The Russians are very famous in their approach with the so-called red team, blue team, or A team, B team, where they take any movement and split it into two factions that they can get fighting with each other. This is kind of their bread and butter kind of political warfare operations that they are the best in the world at and have been since the, you know, early days of Soviet Union. They're very good at dividing conquer in that way. But on the other hand, we now see, finally, I've been shaking, you know, the tree for a while. Glenn Beck was bringing it up 10 years ago, this weird character of Alexander Dugan and his multipolarity theory. That's the big story. Multipolarity means that the United States is no longer the global power. We are no longer going to use our Navy and our military to control world affairs. We're going to have, you know, a Russian pole and a Chinese pole and an Islamic pole and a U.S. Western pole that are all roughly co-equal and competing in the world. But this is just that old Soviet strategy of breaking up Western power so that... maybe communist, maybe Islamist interests can rise. I think in this case you would see a huge rise in Islamism and he would see a huge rise in Chinese communism, but what the details are is tough to say. But the goal is to undermine American and Western strength in the world so that the other players can rise to be like equals.

And does this partly explain anyway this obsession in attacking Judaism and trying to divide the Judeo-Christian value system saying they're separate and one replace the other? Is that part of that ideology? Yeah, I think it is part of the ideology. It is also a very useful tool, and I think that's the most important part. If they can divide Americans, especially American conservatives, over whether or not they support Israel or whether or not they support Jews, which is a much more alarming thing to see on the rise right now, is rank anti-Semitism, if they can split Americans that way and split American conservatives, if they can convince young Protestants to abandon those theological convictions that they have. And they can really reshape politics in America going forward. And the objective, I think, is in fact to do exactly that. So Israel becomes not just an object that they are attacking, but rather the object that they are attacking with. It's like I've said to people before that if you really want to make a man mad, what you do is you insult his wife. And people say, well, you attacked his wife, but no, really what he did is you attack the man through his wife. And so if we can get, if they can attack Israel, they're really attacking the United States by getting us to fight with ourselves and fight over this. They know that Protestants, evangelicals in particular and Jews in America will not abandon Israel. They know that they will not abandon these convictions. They might. turn some young people, but they can split the American conservative vision by getting us to fight about this. So it's more of a means to an end than an end in itself. We're talking to Dr. James Lindsay, who's founded the new Discourses organization and platform. I'd like to hold on to you, if you don't mind, through the break and continue with this, because I think it's incredibly important. We'll be right back. 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 Levin for thefellowship.org, L-E-V-I-N for the Fellowship.org. Mark Vennan, the Funder on the right. Call him now, 877-381-3-8-1. We're here with Dr. James Lindsay of New Discourses, and his podcast is the New Discourses podcast.

Dr. James Lindsay, so we were talking about sort of this Russian influence campaign involving the effort to divide really people in our institutions against each other and against ourselves, so it collapses within. These woke right podcasters, particularly those who draw so much attention, it's my understanding that Steve Bannon met with this guy Dugan at one point and so forth and so on. Do you know anything about this? Yeah, a little bit. Steve Bannon met with Alexander Dugan in the fall, October, November, I think, of 2018, and they kind of kept it hush, hush. How much he worked with Dugan from there, I don't know, but Dugan actually draws off of a philosophy for his own crazy beliefs, which he calls the fourth political theory. But he draws off of a guy that's called a traditionalist name René Guanom. a French philosopher. And Steve Bannon also draws off of René Guinone. So they're running in similar currents. They have similar thought patterns. It's a very weird mystical way of thinking about traditions, but the idea is that if you dig deeply enough into any one tradition, you kind of come out at the bottom and they're all the same. So everything is unified and everything is whole. It's a very weird spiritual tradition. But Steve Bannon and Dugan run in similar ways this way. not just politically, but on deep metaphysical levels. Now, what does that mean deep metaphysical levels? Well, they see the world in a different way than the way the rest of us do, that there's this objective to transform the world to its kind of ideal state. And this is why, you know, you can interrupt you one second? It almost sounds Marxist. Well, it's not dissimilar to Marxism. It's almost a Marxist vision kind of turned upside down. The idea with the Marxist vision is, in fact, that you're going to transform everybody to remember who they are. We're all going to remember that we're socialists at heart, and if we re-educate everybody. But in this other tradition, the idea is more the other way around. It's that we can realize ourselves and band together almost more in a fascist organizational structure. so that we can march forward to the humanity that we're supposed to become in the future. That really is weird. But it's super weird. They're both authoritarian, right? So fascism and the Marxism aspect of it. Does this explain, for instance, Tucker Carlson turning World War II inside out, the good guys are the bad guys, and the bad guys are the good guys? Yeah, in part. I mean, they have to destabilize. And I want to just emphasize that the target here is primarily the young people. But this is just like what the left did with its 1619 project. You have to get the youth in particular to doubt the goodness of their own country in its founding and its kind of most triumphant moments. And so what you do is you dig back into history and you reverse. the polarity on whether or not the who the good guys were and who the bad guys were. What was good and what was bad? You turn it all kind of upside down and inside out. And in that state of doubt, when people are no longer certain of the things they think they believe, you get to become their leader. They become dependent on you for the next piece of knowledge, for the next step, for the next direction to take. And it's particularly...

problematic on the so-called right isn't it because they wrapped themselves in patriotism they've been wrapping themselves in maga and supporting trump but then they they show ankle because trump is a problem for them conservatism is a problem for them faith is a problem for them correct That's right. I mean, they're very explicit if you spend time actually reading them to hear them say that they do not consider themselves conservative. They consider themselves right wing. And they make that distinction very clearly. They believe that conservatism is something weak and that right wing is something that can be strong and they tend to tap into that. And they are very much against Trump. They've now turned on Trump. Tucker Carlson just said that MAGA is actually over. So they're not in the same current as the movement that they've been attached to. They've been inside the MAGA movement. They speak the MAGA language. They wave the flag. They carry the Bible. They do all of the things that make them look like American Patriots. But what they're actually doing is the same kind of critical theory of America that we're used to from the left, that undercut our belief in our own country. You could actually summarize things like what Tucker Carlson does, its podcast, the message again and again, every week it seems, every day it seems. is you don't hate your country enough. Mm-hmm. And yet there are people kind of sprinkled throughout the administration in significant positions of the administration that appear to share this viewpoint, no? Yeah, well, Rod Dreher, who is at least kind of on the edge of this pond himself, said that he came over and studied and ran around in D.C. for a week or two. And his estimate was 30 to 40 percent of the people that are in positions of any kind of authority in D.C. or at least sympathetic to this. So very many people. But this is another parallel to communism, Mark. This is a technique that the communist called entryism. which is how do you get your guys in, entry, how do you get your guys in and the good guys out? And so what they're doing is they've stepped into positions of authority, and then they hire their friends, and they create ugly scandals and situations for the people they don't like and start to squeeze them out. They're trying to squeeze out Paula White from the faith office right now very vigorously. You can see that very clearly. They're going after Lindsey Graham with some kind of a united struggle session attempt. They're trying to get their guys in and everybody, all the real Patriots out. It's incredible. And so the American people listening tonight, what is your advice to them? I mean, they really have to be discerning about this, right? That's the sad part of the advice is it's the hardest thing in the world, which is to be discerning. It's to understand it just because somebody's made a point that you agree with. It doesn't mean that they're taking it in the right direction. It doesn't mean that they're doing the right thing with it. So you have to slow down. You can't just run on the fumes of, you know, Tucker Carlson was the guy I watched on the news for years and years. You have to listen to what he's actually saying now. He might not be leading you in the right direction anymore. He may have changed. He may have taken advantage of your trust. But also I want to tell American people listening is that you've got to protect your kids. If you, by the grace of God, avoided.

your children going in the direction of trans. They are trying to get your children in the direction of fascism and Nazism. And I hear from parents every day almost about how they're falling and losing their kids to this. So protect your kids, get them on the right path, teach them well. Amen to that. Tell us about your group and what new discourses is all about in your podcast. Thank you. I started new discourses officially in 2020. My goal was to study and expose the woke left as fast as I could. I wrote a library of critical race theory for the public before George Floyd even died that was ready to go when people were ready to have it. I tackled the queer theory and the drag queens and so on. So I tried to tackle this woke left, tie it to communism, explain what the woke left phenomenon was. And I've run a podcast. there called the new discourses podcast where i've been trying to teach the world as fast as i can learn about woke ideologies and that includes now communism and fascism i've spent the last year doing something i call the nazi experiment podcast where i'm going through Peace by piece by piece, whether from Mein Kampf or from Carl Schmidt or some other Nazi writers and telling people, what did the Nazis actually believe? We know how their experiment ended. They had problems in Germany after World War I. They didn't experiment to fix it. It ended in a catastrophic war and a Holocaust, the worst thing maybe that's ever happened. We know the experiment didn't work, but what was in it? And the reason I'm doing that is because I've been seeing, whether it's on X, whether it's on YouTube, whether it's on Instagram, I've been seeing... Literally, the pages of mind comp with no attribution fed to our kids like their new ideas. So I want people to see what Hitler really said, what his acolytes really taught what they really believed, what those contents were so that they don't mistake the arguments of today for something new and fresh and good. They're actually recycled evil from 80 years ago, 100 years ago, that caused one of the greatest calamities in human history. Well, you're a very important thinker in a very important voice, and I'm going to bring you on more often if you don't mind. It's a very significant size audience here. So thank you for what you're doing online and this project that you have, and much appreciate you. Well, thank you very much, Mark. That's very nice. Dr. James Lindsay, ladies and gentlemen, he's a good man, new discourses. That's his motivation, and you can see what he's trying to do, which is very, very important to expose what's taking place in our country. And he's giving you a better understanding of what we're dealing with than Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly. Steve Bannon is always hanging around with the sleazyest of sleazy. He just is. That's what he is. Candace Owens, they're your enemy. They're trying to destroy what you love, what you believe in. They're trying to disunite America. They have a big plan. And the plan is about power. You know, I wrote this book on power. Everything's about power. And that's what they're all about.

They want to destroy the Republican Party, even if that means building up the Democrat party, at least temporarily. That's what Nick Fuentes said. A voting Democrat destroy the Republican Party. Tucker Carlson said, Maga's over. Maga's destroyed from within. Trump's not Maga. Follow me. Owens and her rabid anti-Semitism. They're all, notice, anti-Semites, anti-Israel. And as James is pointing out there, that's part of the plot. If you can destroy the relationship between Jews and Christians, if you can destroy the relationship between two of the greatest democracies, Israel and the United States, you can move toward this, this fascism, this authoritarianism. I mean, this is a big deal. And it's going on right under your noses. And we're going to keep talking about this as long as I have a breath and as long as I have these platforms because it's a big deal. It's very, very important. Very important. I'll be right back. Mark Levin.

Have you ever wondered why Tucker Carlson is so close to Vladimir Putin or loves Vladimir Putin and praises Vladimir Putin, praises the Russian culture, the Russian government? Well, that should become obvious now with James Lindsay's discussion about this guy Dugan, a Russian sort of counter-intel guy who pushes his ideology in order to destroy the West. And... There's a reason why Tucker Carlson's close to these people. Absolute reason why he praises them. Absolute reason he praises Islam, Qatar. They're all authoritarian regimes. They're all authoritarian in one form or another. Fascistic, monarchical, communist. He literally wants to destroy Maga. He wants to destroy the Republican Party. He wants to destroy our civil society. Notice how he talks about witchcraft with respect to me and the use of language and mysticism and so forth. That's what this guy preaches. This guy dug him. So it's not that Tucker Carlson's smart. He's actually quite dumb. He's got the gift of gab. But he's a mouthpiece for this Russian ideology, which has its purpose, the destruction of our society. Go after the Jews and then go after the Christians who believe in Israel and so forth and so on. Go after Maga. Go after the conservative movement. And you'll notice he barely ever talks about Democrats or the Marxists or the Islamists. He's praising them. Have you noticed? That's what he's doing. And anybody in this audience who's still left embracing this guy, understand what you're embracing, a poisonous anti-Americanism that rejects our founding and rejects the Enlightenment and rejects the Judeo-Christian belief system and the connection between the two. This is why he had nothing but contempt for Mike Huckabee, for me, Ben Shapiro, Josh Hammer, nothing but contempt. For people of real faith, Christians and Jews alike. And we're going to go off the air in about 50 seconds. I really want you to check out Liberty's Voice, today's video podcast. Look, you can start it. If you don't like it, you can just drop it, but I think you're going to like it. I hope you listen to it straight through it. It's got a logic to it. I'm trying to present information that's not readily available to you, as I have during this entire show. While we think and talk about those who are evil with evil intentions who are trying to destroy our society, today's video podcast is on a man who was so crucial throughout the ages in creating. Great societies, humane society, societies with civil liberties. So we start with Aristotle and we get to Iran. We salute our armed forces, we sure do. Our armed forces, our police officers, our firefighters, our emergency personnel, our truckers, the men and women in Ukraine, the men and women in Israel, the men and women in Persia, and our soldiers, and you, the American people, red-blooded Americans, God bless each and every one of you. I'll see tomorrow.

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 one 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.
