12/8/25 - The Rise of the New Imperial Ruling Class

America's best days are yet to come. That's because conservatives like you know and live the values our great country was built on. The Heritage Foundation exists to make sure your voice is heard in the D.C. swamp each day, shining the light on a bright future. The Heritage Foundation stands for your values and won't give up the fight because they know you never will. Paid for it by the Heritage Foundation. 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. Oh,

It's always a great honor to speak to you. Millions and millions of you from sea to shining sea, actually every corner of the planet on every platform imaginable. And I hope you'll put up the volume. You, your kids, maybe in their car, they're at the dinner table. Because I want to have a chat with you at this national town hall meeting. Over the weekend, we saw... a real spectacle we saw in Qatar what we saw in Qatar what we saw in Qatar were elites ruling class elites in government politics business media elites Not all, but most of whom are quite wealthy. Meaning in Qatar. Sprinkled in there were leaders of other countries to give this event some patina, some patina of having a diplomatic presence. But the purpose was clear. Qatar is a nation of about 330,000 people, smaller in population than the city of Baltimore. It is on top of massive amounts of natural gas. Extraordinary wealth in the hands of very few. Qatar was created a few decades back. It has a monarchy, a brutal, genocidal, vicious monarchy. A monarchy that survives by police state tactics, a monarchy that survives by terrorism, a monarchy 330,000 people that has decided it seeks to overthrow the West, supports the Taliban. the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, ISIS. It supports all the entities that seek the destruction of the West, many of which have killed hundreds, if not thousands of Americans, and threatened to do so again. We've built up an entire infrastructure of counterterrorism to fight the very people that Qatar supports. And yet, in the past, we built an air base there. The Biden regime extended the least 10 years. And, of course, our current president has essentially stated that we will go to war in defense of Qatar. Qatar has its mission. The destruction of the United States from within. The destruction of the West. And, of course, the destruction of the state of Israel. And it puts its money where its mouth is. No, none of this is new to you if you've listened to this program. If you've watched my Sean Fox. But what is new is the extent of the success that this regime is having.

success it's having right in front of our eyes and it has caused me to conclude as I've hinted to on this program and mentioned at the end of last week again and mention on my Fox show Saturday we have a new imperial ruling class both parties a new imperial ruling class a new imperial ruling class businesses unions media financiers they celebrate this monarchy they celebrate its fascism they celebrate even the marxist islamists who align with them in support of these regimes These are elitists. Not you and me, not Mr. and Mrs. America. You get nothing out of this. This isn't intended for you. This is intended for a relative handful of power-hungry elites in our country. They seek power. They seek wealth. They seek glory. And they've used... A new platform called podcasting, really developed in the early 2000s, as a means by which to communicate the views, the beliefs, the so-called values of the Qatari regime, as a means by which to attack those who embrace traditional Americanism. Judeo-Christian values under which this nation was founded. Capitalism. They used the podcasters and others. As the Japanese used Tokyo Rose, except Tokyo Rose was in Japan. They push a new form of propaganda.

indoctrination they claim to be America first as they trash America as they trash our military that fought so heroically in World War II they accuse our nation like the Marxist Islamists of being imperialists and colonialists they claim to support isolationism but they don't they oppose alliances with our allies and they demand alliances with Qatar with the enemies who want to destroy the West. Seems counterintuitive, but it's not. These are grifters. The vast majority are individuals who have become enormously wealthy or famous or infamous as a result of support from this regime and regimes like it. Traditional constitutional conservatives who reject this are to be smeared and attacked as being the opposite of what they are. That is, being accused of opposing MAGA, when in fact it is these individuals. And when the veil is down, When the texts are leaked or released in litigation, who are those who attack the President of the United States, who is MAGA and his supporters. American values and beliefs, even representative government, are barriers to this new imperial ruling class elite.

Capitalism is condemned, just as it's condemned by the Marxists. What is this free market capitalism stuff? They embrace a bizarre form of feudalism and Marxism. Magazine American Conservative, the reprobates they're right over there. They call themselves paleo-conservatives. They're actually Neanderthals. They're paleo-nothing. Nothing to do with conservatism. Now, these people seek the centralization of power. While I go on and on about the billionaires and the wealthy, they seek the centralization of wealth of capital, and they want a big chunk of it. They've actually built nothing. They call themselves financiers, hedge funds, equity funds, which rely heavily in the enormous wealth of these potentate fascist monarchs in the Middle East, especially Qatar. They don't care that Qatar funds terrorism. They don't care that Qatar was involved in 9-11. They don't care that Qatar is destroying our colleges and universities. Let them eat cake. They post photographs, abusing it up, giving the finger to you, the middle finger, the American people. What are you going to do about it, they figure? Besides, we have all these great followers on our podcasts. We're influencers.

Now we even find out that's corrupt. That many of the people supposedly watching them are from foreign countries. Foreign countries. Some of them even lie. Some of they've even by followers. But no matter. They're targets. Young people. The minimal experience. Young people who are not being taught history in college. Young people who are rejecting our founding. Young people who they stereotype is down and out. Victims of the system. Incapable. Incapable. Incapable. Of accomplishing anything. under our current Western values and capitalist system. There they are in Qatar. The new globalists have come to thought they're not isolationists. They're isolationists when it comes to our alliances. But when it comes to our enemies, they are globalists. Their hands are out, and our enemies are happy to fill them with money, lots of it. Directly and indirectly. Most of these people are media creations. Tucker Carlson is a media creation. Steve Bannon, a Hollywood boy, a crook, pled guilty of being a crook, ripping off many of you, a media creation.

Who else? The comedians? Media creations. That's all they are. They've actually accomplished, not a damn thing. They haven't built a damn thing. They don't even have professions. Not electricians, not plumbers. Nothing. Zero. They literally create nothing. And they become enormously wealthy doing what they do, partying with whom they party. And then they want you to believe that they represent the little guy when they're using the little guy. They're abusing and exploiting the little guy. That's what neo-fascists do. That's what neo-Nazis do. That's what Marxists and Islamists do. As they ride the wave of the MAGA movement, they never created, and in secret they hate. As they laugh behind the back of one of the greatest presidents in American history, Donald Trump.

This is our battle today. These are the new imperialists. These are the new ruling class elitists. They hate this country. And then they wrap themselves in America first, which is repulsive. They tell us Reagan was no good. Churchill was no good. Hitler was misunderstood. The Prime Minister of Qatar is a great man. Their prime minister of Iran is misunderstood. Vladimir Putin is a great leader. Crazy, isn't it? But with young people in particular, not a lot, but enough, this has an appeal. America first becomes for them a bumper sticker. for destroying America. More when I return. I'll be right back. Mark Levin.

Folks, I have a question for you. Do you believe America's best days are still ahead? With the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence coming up in less than a year, my friends at the Heritage Foundation are taking stock of the current situation, and they need your input. They've launched a survey on America's future to gauge how America's feel right now about where we are as a nation and where we're headed in the next 250 years. You know, for decades, your American values have been under attack, but now where President Trump's administration in office, an opportunity to turn the tide and usher in a new golden age for America.

That's heritage.org slash L-E-V-I-N. Paid for by the Heritage Foundation. How often do you hear these people criticize Qatar or care? A radical Islamism. They trash our country. They trash Israel. They trash Ukraine. Neil Kash Patel, one of the invisible hands behind Qatarisan, spent many years working for Dick Cheney when Dick Cheney was vice president in the Bush White House. Did you know that? He was his policy chief. Now he's at Qatar with Tucker Carlson's business partner, railing against the establishment. He's a whore. Tucker Carlson, similar. Bill Crystal was his boss for years. That was his world. He's no different than Kash Patel. I can go down the list, but more when I return. We're coming upon the 250th birthday of the United States, and it has me thinking, what will America look like 250 years from now? My friends at the Heritage Foundation want to know what you think.

If you look at most of these Imperial Rolling Class elitists in the podcast world, you should keep in mind that they've actually done absolutely nothing. They've worked their way into a position.

which they desperately seek to hold on to. Most of them couldn't hold jobs in the past. They're grifters. But it's worse. If they're grifters, that's one thing. But they're grifters for an enemy state. They're grifters for an enemy cause. Any way you cut it. What's this hate they have for Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton? Abject hate for Dan Crenshaw, a war hero. Hate for Marco Rubio. A fantastic Secretary of State. Hate for Ron DeSantis. And then go down the list. The Superstars of Constitutional Conservatives. What's this hate they have for Ronald Reagan who defeated the Soviet Union, whose portrait hangs over the left shoulder President Trump in the Oval Office? What is this? And Cotarlson says over and over again now, he hates the Republican Party. He's not going to vote Republican. He hates Christians who support Israel. But he never says he hates the Qataris, he hates the Islamists, he hates care. Never. Not once. Why is that? In 12 months' time, Steve Bannon went from being a Christian Zionist, his own words, to a big-time anti-Semite. What happened? I told you the guy. is a confessed convicted crook. These guys are grifters, man. It's all about money. They can't actually create anything, but they've figured out. They figured out an angle. An angle. And they're not the only ones. You have businessmen have as well. You have entertainment industry has as well. You have certain politicians have as well. enormous wealth being created from doing absolutely nothing serving the desires of Qatar I joked I think it was Friday right mr. Reducid could you imagine what they would pay me but you have to have principles and morals proper upbringing by your parents I haven't changed one damn bit Not one damn bit. These people have changed. And they're not MAGA. And they're not Trump supporters. When President Trump took on Iran, they defended Iran. When our brave pilots were bombing Iran's nuclear sites, they were trashing us. When Israel was defeating, the enemies had surrounded it. They were trashing Israel, defending the enemies, including terrorist countries and terrorist regimes that have killed hundreds, if not thousands of Americans and others. There they were over the weekend, this new imperial ruling class elite. There they were, bowing to the monarchy.

asking set up questions. All performative. Where that friggin monarchy gave safe haven to KSM the mastermind behind 9-11. When the FBI went to his apartment to capture him and bring him back to the United States, That monarchy protected him and helped him escape, which led him to decapitate Daniel Pearl, an American, and then slaughter nearly 3,000 of our fellow citizens. And they're over there partying, fill in their faces with food and booze talking about what it's like. to be in a wonderful country where you can have a Lamborghini and leave your key in it and not worry about it being stolen. This jackass guitar isan, I'm going to buy a home here. So buy it. But he announces it knowing damn well that the Qatari royal family decides who can and cannot buy a phone. They own this little bastard, hook, line, and sinker. Why else does he platform Hitler supporters? Why else does he platform Holocaust deniers? Why else does he trash tens of millions of Christians? Why else does he side with the Hitler supporters against one of the greatest leaders of all time Winston Churchill? You ask why. I'm telling you why. I'm telling you why. He's not against the Republican establishment. He's against you, Mr. and Mrs. America. He is an imperial ruling class elitist. With his home in Maine, in his home in Florida, and his home in Qatar, with his $150,000 to $200,000 of speech. Oh, yeah. And that's okay. It's hardly capitalism what he's doing.

That's right. And then, what's worst of all is none of what I just told you, except this point, how he plays to the youth of this country, who are not being taught history, Western philosophy, who go through these high schools and colleges and universities that are turning out. as many Marxists, Islamists as they possibly can. They preach to these young kids, your kids and grandkids, that there's no hope. That America sucks. That market capitalism is a disaster. That everybody before was wrong. Wrong. Ronald Reagan was a loser. Today's a new day. Today's a new day. Watch me. Follow me. Vote for the people I say. And they've done nothing except play the system. Neil Kash Patel going from Cheney to Qatar. Seriously? Tucker Carlson going from Crystal to Qatar? Steve Bannon, a complete slob and buffoon. Candace Owens, what the hell is she done in her life? But follow her, boy, follow her. She's got her shirt on, she's got her boots on, she's marching, follow her. Nick Fuentes, Nick Fuentes. He's a nerd who knows how to curse and spew racism, bigotry, and anti-Semitism. That's it. And the report's out that a big chunk of his audience is absolutely from overseas. It's a big piece done in Politico, so long I stopped reading it. Some guy interviewed these guys and he wants to know where they're coming from and the alt-right and what's happening to MAGA and what's going to happen to the Republican Party. Not one constitutional conservative has interviewed who can expose these bastards for what they are. Not one. Now let me tell you what's going to happen. I'll put my marker down right now.

If we, you and me, Mr. and Mrs. America, who love our country, who love our country, who don't have a bigoted racist bone in our body, who think Qatar is the enemy state, you and me, we get nothing from Qatar. The American people get nothing from Qatar. We don't think Vladimir Putin's the greatest thing since sliced bread. We don't think it's cool to interview the Prime Minister of Qatar or the Prime Minister of Iran, especially when you're there as a propagandist and a toady and a lapdog, not as a real journalist. No, we don't think it's cool. That you trash tens of millions of Christians, millions of Jews, our economic system, and then claim you're America first. You're an American disgrace. That's what you are. These people are going to cost us not just the midterm elections in a little way. We're going to get slaughtered. We're going to get slaughtered thanks to these people. Even if the economy's chugging along, the American people, you. Red-blooded Americans, many of whom have fought for this country, many of whom are cops and firefighters. You, the electricians and plumbers, who watch what's taking a place, taking place in places like Qatar, where these people are getting filthy rich, preaching against your country, claiming the system is against everybody, doing the propaganda for the enemy. You're on to them, you're smart. College degree or no college degree. Blue collar, white collar, union, non-union. You're red-blooded Americans. And you know this is a fantastic great country. And the idea that a monarchy in the Middle East with 300,000 people, can buy off these people, directly or indirectly, and that you're going to fall for this, that you're going to fall. for the claim that Hitler was better than Churchill, trashed the greatest generation, all those GIs, Americans, your parents and grandparents who fought for this country, fought for the wrong side. The idea that you Christians, you Christians who believe in the Holy Land, and you want to protect it from the Palestinian terrorists and the Islamists in Qatar. That there's something wrong with you. The idea that the Israelis who fight for their very survival and are surrounded, right, people who murder and rape their women, that they're the aggressor. The idea that Vladimir Putin is a good Christian man. And they run beautiful subways. And clean streets. As he sends a million men to their debt. That somehow you, Mr. and Mrs. America, are going to fall for this. Far for these people who have contributed literally nothing to our country. Zero. They're takers. They're grifters. Their media concoctions. Comedians. Some of them.

jokes all of them and now they're telling you they want to destroy the republican party what they're telling you they defend the kataris but the republican party needs to be destroyed If they destroy the Republican Party, Mr. and Mrs. America, what happens? The Democrats take over, the Marxists and the Islamists. Because they have more in common with the Marxists and the Islamists than they do with you, red-blooded, Mr. and Mrs. America. That is the truth. Their payday, their so-called fame, more like infamy, is not earned the old-fashioned way. I'll be right back. Mark Levin. Folks, I have a question for you.

This is untoward. It's unethical. It's unseemly. It's grotesque. It's unconscionable. And they want you to believe that they care about you, they care about your future, and they care about the country. It's interesting. Tucker Carlson never interviews 9-11 family members, but he seems to be the interviewer of choice of the genocidal maniacs around the globe. Why is that? Why is that? He's not alone. He's not alone. They had a Christmas party. We only know this because they brag about these things and they post them. Didn't you have a big Christmas party, Mr. Producer? Or isn't it you who sent me that link? Somebody did. It was you. You're the one. I thought to myself, boy, this would have looked great in 1930s Germany. Right after Kristallnock. What a crowd. What a crowd. Just fantastic. What has Qatar ever done for you, Mr. and Mrs. America? They're going to give us trillions. When are they going to give us trillions? They have our base. Now that's longstanding, but they have our base. They're going to build a facility on our base in Idaho. They get a defense. cover from the United States. And we've gotten from them what? Billions of dollars brainwashing our children and grandchildren to hate our country. Now aimed at K through 12. Billions of dollars supporting terrorist front groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. That's not even a front group. That's just a terrorist group. But Hamas. Still has Hamas leaders in Qatar enjoying the same. hospitality, I suppose, as Catarrison and Kattel and all the other reprobates. These people are thoroughly and completely unpatriotic. But I'm American. I get to make these choices. Yes, you do. And we're Americans, and we get to comment on it.

is a foreign drug trafficker, not an innocent civilian who's being human trafficked, for instance. And therefore, Secretary Pete Hegseth said, and I agree, they're all valid targets. Now, this controversy, let's remember, all started with a Washington Post story about nine days ago that said after the first strike, there were two survivors that were helpless. And then they were ordered to kill these helpless survivors. That is simply not the case. They were not floating in the ocean on a wooden plank or in life jackets. They were on the capsized vessel. They were not incapacitated in any way. It was entirely appropriate to strike the boat again to make sure that its cargo was destroyed. It is in no way. violation of the law of war. And I think the Washington Post owes Secretary Pete Hegseth, and especially Admiral Mitch Bradley, a highly decorated career Navy seal, an apology for that slander. But she's not done. She won't give it up. The Washington Post lied over and over again about this entire thing. Cut three, go. I hear you saying they weren't incapacitated, and yet Democratic Congressman Adam Smith of Washington, the ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee, saw this very differently. He saw that video. He said, quote, it looks like two classically shipwrecked people. So who cares what he said? And listen to her, like she's in some kind of a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Center play. Go ahead. Said the two men appeared to raise their arms potentially to signal that they were trying to surrender. Senator, why did Admiral Bradley interpret... Oh, that's so ridiculous. They raised their arms in the middle of the ocean like they're trying to surrender. They weren't hit for a long time. Go ahead. actions is anything other than these two men trying to seek help and survive? Well, again, they were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat. They weren't floating helplessly in the water. And, Kristen, I don't think it matters all that much what they were trying to do. It looked at one point like they were trying to flip the boat back over, presumably to rescue its cargo and continue their mission. Or to stay afloat, potentially? Maybe they were signaling to other airplanes or drug cartel boats because they're in waters that are just off drug cartel areas. At one point, the guy takes off his t-shirt. Maybe he's trying to get a sun tan. It doesn't really matter what they were trying to do. What matters that they were not in a shipwreck state distressed dog paddling in the water at all. And therefore, that boat, its cargo and those drug traffickers remained valid targets. And I think what the Democrats object to here is not the second strike. It's the first strike and every other strike on all these boats. We are going to talk about that as well. You continue to talk about one of them took off his shirt as if he's trying to stunt him. But again, your colleagues, some of them saying, look, they were. waving their arms around. Isn't it possible that even the act of taking off a t-shirt could have been part of an attempt to get attention for help? Or it could have been an attempt to signal to another cartel boat to come pick them up and pick up the cargo. But is there a confirmation of what they were doing and what their intentions were? For Admiral Bradley's decision, it doesn't really matter what they were doing. They were on that boat. That boat was still a valid target. They were not in a state of distress.

on a plank of wood in the ocean like subsequent survivors were. And when that was the case in October, our military did the right thing. It set a vessel. It picked them up. It took them back to shore. Let me ask you to focus something. Do you remember all this ringing of the hands and drama and so forth by Walker or the Democrats or anybody else on these Sunday network shows in the Biden regime? was allowing women to be sold in the sex slavery by the tens of thousands, or that they couldn't find over 300,000 unaccompanied minors. Do you remember all this? I don't remember any of it, do you? Any of it? None of it. It just seems that the Democrat Party and the media are attached at the hip. The Democrats want to make an issue out of this, so the media make an issue out of it or vice versa. These were bad guys. They're running drugs into our country. They're killing people. Now, we don't know if they were on top of that boat. Waving hello to somebody. Waving surrender. Waving for something else. But that's where they are. And they chose their destiny. It's that simple. And our military... And their commander did nothing wrong. Nothing. So why do the boats keep going? Well, there's less of them, of course, but why are there any? Not that they know what the United States will do. But Democrat after Democrat... Have you heard any Democrats support this? I haven't heard any. Not one. Not one. They don't support law and order. They don't support the military. They don't support these defensive acts. to protect our people from from drugs the hell does this party stand for they have a representative raja krishnam morrithi uh i believe the guy wants to be a senator from illinois and he's on ms now what a joke cut six go He was a distraction even before the latest bullet strikes. I think that he, as the Inspector General said, had also endangered troops in the operation that was conducted in the spring. He also refused to cooperate with the Inspector General's investigation, by the way. Again, acting with impunity. At this point, I think he's not acting with impunity. He's following the law. The signal issue was an error. Not on his part. He didn't set up the call. It was set up by the National Security Council. He relayed information. I don't know why he should resign. I don't know what he does, they say with impunity. The President of the United States, Commander-in-Chief, he's got his Secretary of War. He's told the Secretary of War he wants these boats taken out. The boats are taken out. And they demand that Pete Hegseth resign. They've never liked them because he's not one of these old men. You know, who's been around a long time. He's a young battle-harden guy. He's motivated. He's trying to bring some more discipline and semblance, if you will, to the Pentagon. And he has. And recruitments through the roof. We've never seen anything like it, as opposed to under the Biden regime and so forth. And so they want him to resign.

This is the same party that defended Majoricus. Not only didn't want him to resign, but had a phony impeachment trial to make sure he would stay. This party has no credibility when it comes to law and order, when it comes to the Department of Justice, what they've done to Trump and others over the years, they have no credibility whatsoever. Go ahead. Risk to our military preparedness and to our troops. Ah, shut up, you idiot. Then there was Senator Eric Schmidt. Senator Eric Schmidt. He was a really good guy, by the way. I've met him a few times. I don't know him that well, but I've met him a few times. He's reached out to us. He's from Missouri. They're Show Me State. But don't show me. Don't show me. Don't show me. You know who likes Missouri? Matt Bill Gates. He heard Show Me State, and he's running around there without his pants. Did you know that, Mr. Producer? Hello, hello, but the people of Missouri want nothing to do with that. Here's Eric Schmidt on ABC this week with Stephanoplas, who's just obviously a plant, a mouthpiece for the radical Democrats. Cut A, go. What do you mean you're not familiar with the facts and circumstances apart, and it's been well reported all across the country. He's the former president of Honduras. He was convicted of conspiring to bring in 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, also guns and other materials. It's been front-page news across the country. Aren't you curious about that? Well, I'm curious about your pushback on that particular point. With your previous guest, you had zero pushback because he's giving the Democrat talking points like you spew every single week, which is probably why your ratings are so bad. But to make the point, what I'm saying is that you're trying to, you're trying to divert here the attention from what the American people actually support. 75% of Americans support us blowing narco terrorists out of the water. Outstanding, Senator. That's the way to do it right there and then. But it takes a monicum of guts to do that, and he does. He's a big guy, by the way. But that's wonderful. I don't watch these Sunday network shows. Nobody does. But there you have it. And obviously, the context for this, when you fill in the lines here, is that... They were talking about these terrorists on these ship, and this guy's talking about pardoning the president of Honduras. The president explained why he did that. You can agree or disagree, but what does the senator have to do with it? Nothing, nothing whatsoever. We're going to have a wonderful guest in hour three, by the way. the gentleman who was in charge of putting together the individuals, these experts, that put out, I think, annually, the Reagan National Defense Report or the National Defense Report, and they released it at the Reagan Library, one of my most favorite places, where we do our book signings every couple of years.

And here's Pete Hegseth at that event, the Reagan National Defense Forum, and this is on Saturday. Cut 9 go. Washington liked to invoke President Reagan's name, often when they criticize President Trump. They say or at least insinuate that Donald Trump is nothing like Ronald Reagan. They say the current president's approach is nothing like the vision championed by Ronald Reagan at the height of the Cold War. as we grappled with the Soviets and ultimately prevail. But those folks are wrong. They're dead wrong. Most who invoke Ronald Reagan's name today, especially self-styled Republican hawks, are not much like Ronald Reagan. The policies they've championed are nothing like his. In fact, for the better part of 30 years, they've been quite the opposite. If you look at actual policies, Donald Trump is the true and rightful heir of Ronald Reagan. Now, stop right there. I have a slight adjustment to this. The people trashing Ronald Reagan are the Qatariites among us. That's who they are. The Qatariites. Peace through strength was Reagan's foreign policy, and that was the name he gave it. Make America Great Again was Reagan's campaign phrase in 1984, which is why I laugh at the Bannons and the Carlsons and the other frauds, phonies, and reprobates who dictate to us what MAGA means. They don't even agree with President Trump. Too often, so often. Go ahead. It's President Trump who has inherited and restored President Reagan's powerful but focused and realistic approach to national defense. It's therefore only fitting that we gather at the Reagan Presidential Library today to talk about President Trump's America First, Peace Through Strength, Common Sense agenda, and what it means at the Department of War. Very good.

And it's not an agenda that says we abandon our allies, is it? The anti-Semites and the neo-fascist imperial ruling class elites certainly do not hold President Trump's views of Israel, do they? No, they don't. Here we have Marjorie Taylor Greene. Why didn't she left already? She's like a bleeding hemorrhoid in the body politic. She really is. She times her resignation to make sure that she rips off the taxpayer. She's going to get a small pension from you for the rest of her life, having served five years in Congress. How many of you get a pension after five years? How many of you in the private sector, or not even a private sector, how many of you get a pension after five years? And she didn't resign on the spot. She waited until that pension would kick in. Then she's resigning. But don't worry. She's about affordability. And can you any folks name one thing she's done? One thing she's accomplished in those five years? She's all over the media. She has a big mouth. She moves from one side to the other side, trashing the President of the United States constantly. I don't mean honest disagreements, legitimate disagreements mentioned in a civilized way. No, she just trashes him. She rode MAGA, and now she tries to cripple MAGA. And that's what all these guys do. That's what all these frauds do. Cut 11, go. Why did you vote against... the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act. Since I've been a member of Congress, we've had several resolutions that constantly denounce anti-Semitism. I've already voted denouncing anti-Semitism many times before. It becomes an exercise that they force on Congress, and I simply got tired of it. Is there no value in having the United States Congress reaffirm the fact that they denounce anti-Semitism? in the face of a growing issue, a growing problem. We don't have to get on our knees and say it over and over again. Get on our knees. Yes, we do not have to get on our knees. That's enough. She's just a pathetic. Pathetic, buffoon. Pathetic. Pathetic. Don't let the door hit you on your big ass on the way out. We'll be right back.

All right, 60 minutes. Do you think Marjorie Taylor Greene would be on 60 minutes if she wasn't constantly trashing the president or wasn't an anti-Semite, do you? See, this is what the media do. They want us, they want the world to believe this is the face of you and me. It's not the face of you and me. Cut 12, go. Are you MAGA? I am America First. And that's not the same as MAGA. MAGA is President Trump's phrase. That's his political policies. I call myself America First. But you're not saying you're MAGA. I'm America First.

Dial in now, 877-381-381-3-8-1. Yellow, yellow, and yellow. Well, we're not done, are we, Mr. Producer? With the joyous Marjorie Taylor Greene. Cut 13, go. Did you surrender? Did Donald Trump run you out of town? No, not at all. Actually, Leslie, it's more like this. I said in my statement, I will be no one's battered life. By the way, is she's dumb as a doorknob or what? I say that with all due respect, of course. This lady's done nothing. She's a member of the House of Representatives. Does she sound to you like she's treating it with respect?

It's all about her all the time. I, I, I, I, Leslie, I, I, I am not MAGA. I'm America first. And whatever I say means America first. Anybody disagrees with me must be, you know, Israel first. I'm not MAGA. No, I'm America first. Maybe we'll get a really good representative. It's a red district out of Georgia there. Somebody actually do something for the country. But she got her five years in, boy, and she's getting her pension. I think she's become a multi-millionaire while in office. I don't know. But in any event, she's going to get her $8,500 or $9,000 a year. Come hell or high water. Wasn't she at Katarleson's Christmas party? I don't know. Was she missed her to her? Maybe he'll put out a list. You think so? Oh, how do you know all this? Social media? More like socialist media in their case. Go ahead. And I won't allow the system to abuse me anymore. She won't allow the system to abuse her. This is a member of Congress, ladies and gentlemen, who lost her mind. Maybe she lost it before she was, I don't know. I don't know, but she seems to be a war with everyone and everything. Except Tucker Carlson, he's unbelievable. He's just something else. Yes. He and the Qataris, I mean, they're just fascinating. In fact, America's first, more like Qatari first, I think I would say, yes. Yes, I think that's me. Not MAGA, no. Make America great again, never know. That's Trump. That's not me. Let's continue, shall we? Well, look who's decided to jump into the race for Senate in Texas. Jasmine Crockett. Jasmine Crockett. Jasmine Crockett, a foul mouth, do nothing. Moron. May I say that? I think I just did. She wants to be a senator now. Why? She hates the country. She hates her economic system. She hates the country. So why would you want to be a senator? They're all such frauds these people, are they not? What people are you referring to, Mark? The phony ruling class, that's what people. I just spent first hour talking about them. She's among them. What people? Did you think that I meant? Yeah, exactly. Jasmine Crockett is a vile moron. Now, she's a lawyer, and prior to being a congressperson woman, man, she actually was fairly articulate. Made rational arguments, but she decided she was going to be a performer, you see. So this guy, Colin Allrad, who ran for the Senate against Ted Cruz and lost. Remember Ted Cruz? He's a non-Kutari American supporter, I might add. That means he's a hit. No, it doesn't.

So let's take a listen. CNN and Dana Bash. You know, I like to say these people are dumb, but they're all dumb. I mean, one's dumber than the next. Cut 14, go. It really could determine the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. Jasmine Crockett is very openly considering running. Is that part of why you decided to not run anymore? Yes, of course it is. And I think, you know, listen, Jasmine's a friend of mine, and we've served together. I've known her since before we were both in elected office. But it was about the fact that with, you know, three strong candidates running, that we would certainly have a runoff. And I felt that that was not, you know, in the interest of the folks who had, you know, come up to me, you know, tell me their stories. Thank you. Let's got to cut 15. Go. Can you tell me about the conversation that you had with your friend Jasmine Crockett, how that went down and how you made the decision to let her take the wheel? How many people are interviewed about a decision not to run as a Democrat, former congressman who lost a Senate seat? Almost nobody. So why is this a big deal? She may be the nominee. I hope she is, Jasmine Crockett. Why? A whack job. That's why. A whack job. And unlike New York City that elected a whack job, Texas has what we call Republicans. Now, I know that Tucker Carlson hates Republicans, won't vote for Republicans, wants Republicans to lose. But that's that Qatari stuff. That's not, you know, we, red-blooded Americans, that's not our thing. Go ahead. Assume that's the way that you view this. Yeah. well i wouldn't say this i view that way what i was a professional friendly conversation and you know what i took from that was that okay thank you now uh hillan omar she is a uh an ingrate came here from somali war torn somali was a refugee Nobody dragged her into the United States. They came to the United States. They wound up in suburban Washington, D.C., Alexandria, Virginia, a wealthy suburb, filled with bureaucrats, not all, but a lot. Democrat as hell. Then she goes to Minneapolis, Minnesota, because that's where they decide to move. That's apparently a Somali, you know, massive community. And she runs for Congress, and she hates America. And she should never have been let in here if she hated America. We don't have a requirement to bring people into the country who hate the country. You know what that's called stupid? You know what else? It's called suicide. And she points that out. Now, Stephen Miller is a good friend of mine, as a matter of fact. I know Stephen Miller when he was a staff guy for Michelle Bachman many years ago, who was a fantastic congressman. And Miller, excuse me, is a tremendous patriot. So they hate him, the non-patriots. It's like Ted Cruz, the Qatarites among us. They hate them. Why? Because they're a great patriot.

They hate anybody who doesn't, you know, sip from Qatar's public trough. But nonetheless, this case with Ilhan Omar. I bet she supports Qatar too, you know, especially the, I better not. Cut 16, Margaret Brennan, another phony fraud and whatever. Cut 16, go. I want to ask you with something else that the architect of the president's immigration policy, Stephen Miller said. On Thanksgiving Day, he posted no magic transformation occurs. First of all, she's not going to be asked any tough questions. Can you tell us how much you hate Stephen Miller? Wow, Margaret, or is it Maggie? Well, Maggie, you're unbelievable. No wonder you got this job. You're just fantastic, based on merit, no doubt about it. Go ahead. cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions and terrors of their broken homelands. What do you make of this argument of failure to assimilate and sort of ruining America? How do you understand it? Margaret, Margaret. You okay, Margaret? Sounds like you're kind of choking on your own cut there. I'm just not sure. I have a better question. How is it in America with so many smart and great people? that we wind up with these people as hosts on these Sunday shows. Hmm? How is that possible? I mean, she's kind of the Tucker Carlson for the Democrat Party. She sounds like to me. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. That's like Tucker Carlson asking the Prime Minister Qatar. Aren't you tired of the Jews? Killing Palestinians? Yes or no? What do you think about the Jews in that so-called Holocaust? What do you think about that? Huh? Oh, and I want to announce to the gathered Qatarites here, I'll be buying a home here. Yes, I like it here very, very much. I'm an American. I can do what I want, you know. Yes, I am. Go ahead. When I think about Stephen Miller and his weight supremacist. Did you marry your brother? That would have been another good question. You married your brother. Now, you've kind of downplayed it, but you married your brother. Isn't that kind of sick? Hmm? I think it's sick. Yeah. Go ahead. It reminds me, yes, it reminds me of... And all that fraud going on in your community, aren't you, like in touch with everybody in your community? You represent them? How did you not know about any of the fraud? I mean, a billion dollars is a lot of money. Get right ahead. Nazis described Jewish people in Germany. And, you know, as we know, there have been many immigrants who have tried to come to me. Hey, look, A-Hull. Look, A-Hol. How many Benjamins have you taken? Remember that one? That about how Nancy Pelosi protected your Tuckus by watering down that resolution?

Now, today, of course, you'd get support, you know, for Marjorie Taylor Greene and her elk, maybe a little Tommy Thomas Massie, you know, those kinds. But back then, you wouldn't have gotten any support. But Nancy Pelosi came to your defense. Yes, he did. You're going to talk to us about Nazis describing Jewish people in Germany, and this sounds the same to you, really? It's really appalling when people who really embrace Nazis, try to use Nazis as an example of something that's appalling. You know what I mean? It's really grotesque. Go ahead, please. We've turned back, you know, one of them being Jewish immigrants. We know the way that people were described who were coming from Ireland, Irish immigrants. We know the way in which people were described back then when they were Italian immigrants. Can you please explain the massive fraud in your community and stop talking about Jews and the Irish and the Italians place? We're asking about you. Hmm? She can't, and she won't. It's that simple. Do I owe you something, Rich? I'll be right back. Mart. Love in.

How much time, Mr. Producer? Okay. Then we have Joy Reed. You know, Joy Reed and Tucker Carlson have a lot in common. They really do. They hate America. Oh, yeah. They hate America. They hate capitalism. Oh, that's true. That's 17 go. So, you know, this nation was founded by killers who slaughtered 90% of the indigenous people. She's sick. She's sick. Sounds like Katarleson sounds like Candace Owens. Yeah, look at this. I mean, it's great in Qatar with the Lamborghinis there. I mean, you can have your key in a car and keep your door locked. That's great. And, you know, in America, rapes through the room. Nobody gets raped in Qatar. Sure they do. They just call it marriage. No, yeah. Nobody gets raped in Qatar. Yeah.

Oh, it's true. America first, everybody. Maga. MAGA. Bufoonish. Go ahead. Leaches who glommed off of the indigenous. Another racist, okay? Slaughter 90% of the indigenous people.

Now, broadcasting from the underground command post. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-district building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America, Mark Levin, here, our number, hello. 877-381-381-1877-381-3-811. About 15 minutes, we're going to have Roger Zakeem on the program, director of the Ronald Reagan Institute. They put out a fascinating study that they do about our defense posture, what the people think about defense, our allies, and that sort of thing. It's just very fascinating because the information will surprise many of you who are Qatar fans. I mean, Cotarlson fans, yes, yes, may surprise you. Yes. May surprise you, you never know. You know, the crook, the crook, bloated Steve Bannon, who has their fraud room podcast, and in order to get more hits or views, I suppose, he went from being a Christian Zionist, his phrase, to a Jew hater. And he found he could make more money that way. And he abandons anything, old Goldman Sachs, old Hollywood, old shakedown old ladies to contribute to a phony charity to build a wall to which he pleaded guilty. How do you even listen to a slob like this? How do even people go on a show? Well, anyway, yeah. You forgot what I was saying doesn't really matter. You know, it's a target-rich environment. What do you want from me? These people are just a joke, and they're out there. Very serious, yes. Very serious. So making a fortune selling out our country and lying to you. Oh, yeah. Now, Zohran Mamdani, here's a message for all you illegal aliens out there. All your illegal aliens out there, Zohran Mamdani, has a message for you. Defy the law. Defy the law. Cut 19, go. ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrants. As mayor, I'll protect the rights of every single New Yorker, and that includes the more than 3 million immigrants who call the city their home. But we can all stand up to ICE if you know your rights. If you encounter ICE, these are the things that every New Yorker should know. First, ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school, or a private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant signed by a judge. That looks like this.

If ICE does not have a judicial warrant signed by a judge. That's enough. I don't want to give the illegal aliens any ideas. But this is where he is. This is where he is. Basically going to cause violent confrontations with ICE. So he is a confederate. As I've explained before, he is a confederate of the old school for a different cause, of course. Now, he's another guy who came to this country, escaping wealth, a mansion, and all the rest of it, from Uganda. He and his family came to America. They got richer. The father is a tenure professor, a Columbia. His mother is on the Katari payroll. I think Katarsson would like that very much. So many are, after all. I'm starting to think like every 12th American. Certainly in the ruling class. They're all being fetid right now and having cash thrown at them. Amazing hell. how weak the imperial ruling class is. They invent nothing, they create nothing, and they get incredibly wealthy by selling out you and me, Mr. and Mrs. American. Then they pretend, if I'm American first, I'm American first. Anyway, there you have it. Go ahead. You do not consent to entry and the right to keep your door closed. Sometimes ICE will show you paperwork that looks like this. and tell you that they have the right to arrest you. That is false. ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you have the right to remain silent. Thank you, and good night to you, pal. What a jerk. Then there's Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and Fry his city did under Fry. This little weasel. Oh, yes. Burned down the police precinct and all the rest.

So again, you have these hardcore Democrat mayors, these hardcore Democrat governors, trying to nullify federal law. ICE exists as a matter of federal law to enforce our federal immigration laws that exist as a result of legislation, a law passed by Congress, and signed by a prior president. Illegal aliens, whether they've committed additional crimes or not, are to be removed from the country. The Democrats brought them here. The Democrats intend to protect them. I hope Supreme Court justices are listening to me right now on this birthright citizen stuff. And that's why they did it. Birthright citizenship, then chain migration. They're Jerry Manning adding additional Democrat congressional seats trying to win the electoral college through that mechanism. It's all a plot. It's all a plot. It is plot. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on CBS News Minnesota today. Cut 20 go. Our police officers will not coordinate with ICE or any federal agency around immigration law enforcement work. Now, that's an interesting phrase. He even admits it's called immigration law enforcement. We don't have Republican mayors. And mostly don't have Republican governors that would say this to the federal government if it was an issue that cut our way, would we? You know what? We're not doing it. I've ordered our police to resist every damn bit of us. I've never heard that before. From Republicans. Maybe a Ron DeSantis or an Greg Abbott. Maybe those guys. Probably it. Not many more. Go ahead. Do work with federal agents around important criminal activity, narcotics, gun violence. That's right. But the people who actually commit those offenses, we're not going to go after them. No. No. Go ahead. perpetrators of violent crime, but we will not work with federal agents around immigration law enforcement. Why? Because we've seen the unconstitutionality of it. There's no unconstitutionality of it. You mind non-dip. I almost cursed. There's nothing unconstitutional about enforcing federal immigration law.

But this is the fool that let a city burn down. The fool that let a police precinct burn down. Then he gets re-elected. Now, he's running against an Islamist nut job like Zohran Mamdani. May I say that? May I? I think I just did. So that didn't hurt him very much, I don't think. All these Democrats for ICE, I mean attacking ICE. Here's Robert Garcia, another loser, Democrat California. Cut 21, go. There are over, we know of over 170 U.S. citizens that have been detained by ICE, many of whom have spent days in detention. Okay, who are they? I'd love to know who they are. And why did they spend days in detention? Did they not have any identification? Did they commit an offense? What did they do? I don't trust these people on the left. I don't trust what they say. and how they say it. So what exactly took place here? We don't know. But I'm sure Robert Garcia, Democratic California, was advising Biden, stop letting illegal aliens here. You're going to create a problem for American citizens. Did you say that, Bobby? Did you? Did you? You jerk? I'm sure you didn't. Go ahead. Their family or access to a lawyer. Now, we know in this country that... All right. Thank you and good night. When we come back... Roger Zakheim, director of the Ronald Reagan Institute. We'll be right back. Mark Levin.

As America celebrates 250 years of independence, we're reminded that freedom is a blessing and a responsibility. America and 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.

America, we're here with our friend Roger Zuckheim, director of the Ronald Reagan Institute. Beautiful place. I had to go in there one day, Roger. Just say hi and scare everybody. Nonetheless, we welcome you at open arms. You did this Reagan National Defense Survey. This is quite a survey. Tell everybody, first of all, how this is conducted, why it's so thoroughly legitimate. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Well, we do a survey. Sample size is over 2,500 U.S. adults, and we have two professional survey companies that carried out for us, Beacon Research and Shaw and Company. And they tell us that this is statistically significant, that we can constantly state that the outcome, the results represent the views of the American people. And we've been doing this since 2018. It's got a margin of error just slightly hovering around 2%. It is a great tool to figure out where the people are, where we the people are, on national security, foreign policy and defense. And it's widely used throughout the country by people who need this kind of information. Again, as you say, where the American people stand. Now, Roger, let's go through some of this. because it may surprise people, given the amount of propaganda that goes on out there. Do the American people believe in isolationism? confidently tell you, Mark, no. The American people are not isolationists. They agree Republican and Democrat overwhelmingly, almost the super majority of Americans that America should be leading in the world. And if you pull the cross tabs on this, Mark, you know, because there are a lot of noise out there that Republicans are so-called, especially MAGA Republicans, those who vote for President Trump are isolationists, it couldn't be further from the truth. 75% of Republicans. believe that America should be leading the world, taking charge of international events, and 79% of MAGA Republicans support leadership in the world. It's the Democrats that are pulling that number down, or 57% of Democrats are the ones believed to prefer engagement in the world, so they're not up as high as the MAGA Republicans. You know, I have a theory. I think it's thoroughly legitimate, Roger, which is... Much of MAGA is the old Tea Party. I really believe that. I was involved in the Tea Party. I helped organize the Tea Party. I wrote a book called Liberty and Tyranny, which was a Tea Party really kind of Bible and was best-selling conservative book in a couple of decades. And my recollection is that this is pretty much where the Tea Party was. And President Trump was able to engage and embrace the Tea Party, make America great again. Perfect for the Tea Party. So I think a lot of this is the Tea Party. And the Tea Party was never, never. And MAGA is not. Isolationist or anything of that kind. They're pro-American. And pro-American means from time to time, you know, having allies and supporting your allies. Isn't that what you found?

No question. And I was around when the Tea Party movement was strong and you were out there and your book came out and I do see a lot of continuity there. But when we ask those surveys, do you agree or disagree that the world is more likely to achieve peace when the U.S. has the world's strongest military? 71% agree to 24%. And the Democrats, again, are pulling that down just a little bit. That's overwhelming, joined the overwhelming support of Republicans and MAGA Republicans. So without question, you know, President Trump is the first president since President Reagan to run on a platform of peace through strength. And you see it has a very strong backing of the American people. And, you know, I've seen surveys before that say the MAGA, in particular, 94% supported the bombing of those Iranian nuclear sites. 94%. That means all of MAGA pretty much, doesn't it? Oh, yeah. I mean, it's the only people that are equivocating about the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities are Democrats and those that are not aligned that says enjoys overwhelming support of Republicans and people who voted for President Trump. I'd say Democrats and the Iranian regime, you know, and the Qatar regime. But not the Iranian people. Yes. No, I agree. They want that freedom. Now, military superiority, how did that fare? 87% of those surveyed want the U.S. military to be the strongest in the world. 87% mark, I can't think of another issue where we can get 87% of agreement across the American people. There are some concerns that we do not have the best capabilities, which in some respects is reflective of where the experts are as well. that we're one of the best in certain key military categories, not the best, artificial intelligence, autonomy, things like that. So there's some work to be done. But in terms of the aspiration of American people, in terms of what they want of their military, where they want us to be in the world, they want us to have strength and they want the U.S. military to be at the top. Because, Mark, they understand where the threats are coming from. That's another clear takeaway from this survey. We talk about how the American people are not isolationist, Niagara Republicans are not isolationist. The American people also understand that China, the People's Republic of China and Russia are our adversaries. They know Ukraine is a friend. They view Ukraine. They view Taiwan and they view Israel as an ally and a friend. And they see Russia. They see China. And they see Iran, rightfully so, as our adversary by large margins. Pretty interesting, though, isn't it? Because some of the elites, or the self-appointed elites, don't agree with the American people, do they? Well, that's the key piece. You know, I grew up professionally on Capitol Hill, and there's so many times that you'd hear the following from an elected official or somebody, a self-proclaimed thought leader. They'd say the American people believe.

pause and they would insert the personal point of view. And one of the reasons why we started this survey is because we want to actually see where the people stood. That was very important to President Reagan. As you know quite well, he often took his point of view to the American people because he knew firmly that they would stand behind them. And we're seeing that now as well. People who try to talk to the American people actually don't reflect their point of view. The people in these national security foreign policy defense questions really are supportive of President Trump, and they support a strong America leading in the world. The American people are so much stronger than so many people in Washington, D.C., so much smarter to particularly some of these podcast propagandists in my humble opinion. Now, this Golden Dome was originally... A Reagan idea. I was there. I remember it. I remember how much flack he took. I remember he had a fight. The government was shut down. He shut it down because he wanted more funding for it. And the Democrats did everything they did could to cripple it. We see how it works in Israel. It's fantastic. So the American people, how do they feel about the Golden Dome? overwhelming support for the Golden Dome. And we asked them specifically about, would you support, we didn't just say the Golden Dome, because, you know, Dome many people may not be familiar with what that is. So we explained that it's, you know, missile defense, the sort of thing that could protect the homeland and overwhelming support behind it. I mean, this is, I remember. on capital we talked about missile defense it was referred to as a 80-20 issue where 80% would always support it and the golden Jay Jones enjoying almost as high support in this survey and it's it's a winning issue and not just amongst republicans and those who vote for president trump but even democrats are getting behind this technology because they know with the threats posed by the people republic of china the united states need this capability it's 68 percent support a major increase in u.s government spending to develop the golden dome uh that's 51 percent of democrats and 86 percent of republicans And you talked about Ukraine. We're going to take a short break in a moment and come back. A strong majority, 62% want Ukraine to prevail in its war with Russia. 64% support sending more weapons. That's up 9% from last year. Bipartisan gains, 59% of Republicans, 75% of Democrats. So almost 6 and 10 Republicans want us to continue to support Ukraine. That's interesting because you wouldn't believe it. Listening to the propagandists, not just on the left, but others. We'll be right back. We've got more to share with you. The Marklevenshaw, where the Reagan Coalition meets every day.

We're talking to our friend Roger Zachheim, who's the director of the Ronald Reagan Institute. They do great things over there, including this national defense survey, which is very, very important. And I'm paging in here. What is the support for the state of Israel? Is it significant? It is absolutely significant. Overall, those who view Israel as an ally, and it's divided between strong or something of an ally, is that 66%. And that number... is being weighed down a little bit by Democrats. In the past, support for Israel has been as high. When we did this a year ago, it was 72%. Back in November 2018, when we started this, it was 80%. The last time Israel had a conflict with Hamas in 2021, it also went down to 66%. But the 66% number, that's 77% of Republicans and 57% of democrats and just some context even though for Israel which is America's greatest ally in the Middle East it's been lower than has been the past some of our other great allies Taiwan is 67 percent you know A country like, you know, Ukraine actually is up to 75% Venezuela. Of course, we're all focusing on there. There's concerns there. It's at 54%. Poland's 74% support. So you can see how Israel is still doing much better than the other countries in the world that kind of ranks right where Ukraine is and Mexico. That's where Israel resides. I'm reading your report. So you get 77% of Republicans support Israel as a U.S. House. 77% almost 4 out of 5. And you have these voices out there that I'm kind of talking about, Roger, who just keep hammering away, hammering away, smearing them, smearing them. They may have an impact with the younger people, but overall with Republicans in MAGA, they're not having much of an impact, are they? They're absolutely not reflective of MAGA, of Republicans. It's a marginal element. I mean, Tucker Carlson's beating on live from Qatar or last I checked. I mean, this is not reflective of the views of the American people. Overall, rightly so. They stand staunchly behind Israel, which is the only democracy in the Middle East. It's an ally that... connects with the United States on values, economically, militarily. This is just fundamentally different than any other country in the Middle East. We actually have an envoy. I believe he's the ambassador of Turkey. He's got 14 different jobs. But his name is Iraq, Tom, the envoy. And he said the other day, I think it was in Qatar, that Israel's not a democracy. And those of us...

We're scratching our head. What the hell is this guy talking about? It doesn't even make any sense. All right. You gave a great speech. And we don't have, you know, all evening, but I would like you to summarize what it was that you were communicating to a very important group of individuals. Yeah, thanks, Mark. We had the Reagan National Defense Forum out in the Reagan Library in the Seamy Valley, which you know well. We always love when you come out there. That community just runs to the doors. Any opportunity you're there talking about one of the books? Yeah. And they love you. So we were holding the defense forum out there. And there was a lot of discussions you might expect throughout the day about what peace through strength means and what... President Reagan meant during his time in office when he talked about peace through strength. And there was a point of view that suggested somehow that the Reagan's outlook was no different than Jimmy Carter or Richard Nixon that, you know, he just wanted some sort of realist outlook where the United States. uh somehow did not have any form of values in where and how it engaged militarily around the world and as you know mark that couldn't be further from the truth ridiculous it is no coincidence this is what i said that the man who returned morality and foreign policy right delivered the rollback of the Soviet Empire. In other words, the Reagan doctrine was a doctrine of peace through strength in advancing freedom. And, you know, people can have their point of view, but they're not entitled to the facts. The facts are just that. And that's what peace through strength meant to Ronald Reagan. And you know what, Roger, it's not an accident that President Trump, out of all the portraits of presidents, over his left shoulder, he hangs Ronald Reagan. He's a big fan of Ronald Reagan's. And I've been over for a fact, he's asked people before on Reagan's tax cuts, Reagan's foreign policy, defense measures, and so forth. Not a big fan on his trade, I know that, but a big fan on most of these other things. And it's always been very kind in his assessment of Reagan. I mean, Reagan was a tremendous president. He accomplished a great deal. And then when I hear some people say, you know, the day of Reagan is over, this is a new day, a new start. I'm thinking, what are you talking about? I got almost 60% of the vote, over 500 electoral college votes, defeated the Soviet Union, massive economic growth. What do you mean the days of Reagan are over? Do the Democrats talk about FDR that way? But this is a handful of cooks, don't you think? It's ridiculous. Reagan is absolutely alive in the form of his ideas, principles, and values. And it's incumbent on us, and this is what you do for the countries. You take those ideas, principles, and values, and translate them for the challenges we face today as a country. Ideas don't die. Values don't die. It requires us to keep them relevant and keep on advancing them. And we try to do that in Washington, you see as you do it in the airwaves.

Well, you do a great job. It's always a pleasure. I'm trying to see if people want to read the report. I should have it in front of me, and I don't. Hold on. I'm looking at the report. Too easy. You just put in the browser. The Reagan National Defense Survey, 2025, will come right up. It's on the Reagan Institute.org website. So you could just find it right there. Beautiful. We're going to post, and Mr. Reduce is going to post on all the social media, so you should have a pretty good number of people reading. I would encourage you to do it, folks. Take a good look at it. It's really fascinating. Roger, keep up the great work and give our best to everybody there. We appreciate it, man. Thank you. All right. God bless. It's a good guy, Roger Zakheim, director of the Ronald Reagan Institute. They do tremendous work. This survey is one of the big things that they do. It's the biggest survey of its kind in the United States. And you can see there's just a lot of misinformation out there by the propagandists, by the Qatari first Qatariites out there, the Grifters. And you'll see that Americans believe in America, that America wants our allies and alliances, that red-blooded Americans understand, and even Republicans more than Democrats, and even MAGA more than Republicans. As I told you, my theory is that a lot of MAGA is the Tea Party, and President Reagan was very taken by the Tea Party. President Reagan, I'm talking about President Trump, was very taken by the Tea Party when he was a candidate, even before he was a candidate. He'd go to various events and speak at the Tea Party, and people who work with him have personally told me early on, it really got his attention and really drove his desire to be president. So... That's why I feel a lot of the Tea Party is MAGA, and that's why we, you, and I get along so great. Reaganites, Tea Party activists, Conventionist states, MAGA. Not these fools who back these terrorist Islamist states. I mean, that's just insane. Stupid. To be perfectly honest. Stupid. I'll be right back. All right back. All right. Let's see here, Mr. Producer. I am looking, and I'm not seeing anything. I know you sent me the calls. What do I do with them? Hold on America. I'm a quasi-professional. What do you want for me? All right, there's Christian. I see it. Killeen, Texas, XM satellite, Tony. Tony, how are you? That's Tony. I'm good. God bless you and Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. You too, brother. Yeah, you know you had to interview with Tom Cotton. So Tom Cotton seen the video. No, no, I had an interview with the head of the Reagan Institute there. But I do like Tom Cotton.

I played his interview, yeah. Right, yes, I got it. So anyway, Tom Cotton sees one thing, and poor boy, poor sweetheart, Seth Moulton, he's seen something else apparently. The hell's happened to that guy, by the way. He wants to be a senator, so he'll sell his soul. Oh, yeah, him and shift in all of them. They're all the same. But, you know, the people need to know, and I don't know why it doesn't happen, but those are reporters from the Washington Post, New York Times, and whatever conga line of miscontents that you name. I love you, buddy. Why they don't get... Huh? You're great. Go ahead. Thanks. I learned a lot from you. I don't want to get fired. And if you lied on the air and you told a, you know, a flat out lie like they do, you'd be fired. If your company kept you on, you need to go, you know, I don't know how that works. But these people are absolutely just lying, unless Tom Cotton's lying. But I would rather believe Tom Cotton than Seth Moulton and the other. Yeah, Tom Cotton's a truth teller. He's a great man. All right, brother. Thank you for your call, Tony. Let's go to Steve Sear Lake, Indiana, the great WLS. How are you? Hey, I'm fine, Mark. Thank you. I hope they make this quick. You know how they made it be. Relax, it's okay. We're okay. I'm sorry? You're okay. You don't have to rush. Go ahead. Okay. You know how they made a big deal about accepting money in the first Trump administration registering as a foreign agent? If these people are getting money from Qatar, do these numskills, are they registered with... That's a good question. Is Neil Kash Patel? Former Cheney guys, he registered as a Qatari Asian under Fara. How about Tucker Carlson? I mean, it is his name, after all. These are very, very good questions since I support the state of Israel, like 80% of Republicans, an even bigger percentage of MAGA. And I'm supposed to register? Why? Because I'm supposed to register as an age. These guys are over there. This clown's buying a home there. They're getting loaded with food and booze, and God knows what else over there in Qatar. You make a great point, sir. Great point. Yeah, that's all I had to say. All right, you take care of yourself. The American people are going to get sick and tired of this fast. You, Mr. and Mrs. America, you don't like the fact that these people... are embracing this monarchy, this genocidal monarchy that is spreading in our colleges and universities, hate against our own country. You're not fools, you're smart. And just because these grifters, these grifters are looking for angles, you're not, you work for living. You're the people who make this country work. Now, I'm going to put out on all my social sites, and we'll also send it elsewhere,

First out of the program. What are we calling it again, Mr. Producer? Yeah, let's check again. I know it's the ruling class grifters, but what's the whole thing? Qatar's best friend, the ruling class grifters. And I can assure you that the grifters themselves will be listening to every syllable. How do we get them tomorrow? It's a real Jew, you know. America first, baby. That's exactly what I am. I've always been. My family's always been. We've been here 120 years and we believe it. And my family's fought for this country too. I don't have to defend me and mine. But they do. They do. because they've turned on the country and they've thrown in with the enemy. Ladies and gentlemen, we salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, the people in Ukraine, the people in Israel, and you, the American people, red-blooded Americans, you make the world work. Thank God for you. Hey, how about we do this again tomorrow? I'll see you tomorrow right here. Take care of yourself.
