Episode Overview

In this episode, Mark Levin delves into the troubling escalation of hateful political rhetoric in America, especially aimed at Jews and minorities, questioning not only individual offenders but also the broader complicity of media, political parties, and institutions. Levin challenges both left and right, demanding honest, consistent condemnation of bigotry, while spotlighting the dangerous mainstreaming of extremists and demagogues. The episode covers developments within the young Republican movement, the response (or lack thereof) from media and politicians, the spread of disinformation, and pressing policy debates on Israel, Hamas, voting rights, and U.S. elections.

Tone and Style

Levin’s trademark style is uncompromising, polemical, and passionate. He criticizes both the left and portions of the right, frequently punctuating his points with dismissive humor, direct address to "America" and his audience, and appeals to principle and constitutional values. He invites his co-host, Rich, into the discussion for additional commentary and banter.

Summary Takeaway

This episode confronts rising bigotry and the normalization of hate in public discourse, including on the political right, holding media, politicians, and leaders to account for selective outrage or silence. Levin argues that restoring American civic virtue and standards—inside and outside government—demands principled condemnation of all forms of hate, regardless of political affiliation. He connects these issues to broader trends: media manipulation, elections, threats to civil liberties, foreign policy, and the future of American democracy.

[Mark Levin]

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 by the Heritage Foundation. He's here.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here now, broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under to the brick and steel of a nondescript building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Lee. SAM.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-813811-87381-3811.

[Rich]

How's everybody doing? There's a piece in Politico which we all know has been on the government payroll under the Democrats with U.S. aid, USAID, literally, and it's it's rather left.

[Mark Levin]

Wing.

[Rich]

And it has a story in there about these young Republicans over 8 to 9 month period who were communicating, they thought privately with each other and they have apparently received had leaked to them an enormous number of these texts. And these texts reveal some very hideous and horrific language and characterizations used by these young Republicans. Now, they're not all 14 years old. In fact, none of them are. A young Republican is pretty much anybody from the age of 18 to 40. And certain of these individuals were office holders within the young Republican establishment. One was a state senator and things of that sort and things they said about black people or one said or who said, comparing them to monkeys, Jewish people and Hitler and gas chambers and all the rest. Pretty loathsome stuff, pretty awful stuff, in fact, very awful stuff. And it's been made public, obviously by leaks and so forth, somebody gathering the information over a period of time. But that doesn't really change anything, you know, and there's been some controversy that there's not been enough criticism or there's been too much criticism and well, what about the guy who's running for attorney general of Virginia and in his case he wants to be a law enforcement official and he's talking about killing a Republican, former speaker of the assembly in Virginia with two bullets to the head and watching his children die in the arms of his mother, all kinds of hideous stuff. And we've seen a lot of this, folks, particularly as applies to Jews, of course, we've seen a lot of this. We've seen it come out of the mouth of elected Democrats. We've Seen it come out of the mouth of guests and hosts who are platformed by various organizations, by even media, by podcasters. We have seen it at colleges and universities, this kind of language used by.

[Mark Levin]

Professors, that is faculty as well as.

[Rich]

Students and student groups.

[Mark Levin]

We have seen student groups that have alliances and associations with Hamas, a terror.

[Rich]

Organization, a horrendous terror organization.

[Mark Levin]

And I've also found it interesting since.

[Rich]

I've taken on the grifters, fake maga, isolationists, Jew haters, Holocaust deniers.

[Mark Levin]

I've also found it quite disturbing that.

[Rich]

You have media outlets, some of which claim to be independent, and websites and. But more than that, that try to draw as much, you know, activity to their websites as many eyes and clicks and so forth to their websites. That's how they make money. These hits as possible through their headlines.

[Mark Levin]

By promoting controversy and by attacking people who are attacking these other people who are making these horrendous statements. And then they sit back and they say, isn't this horrible? Isn't this horrible when they're participants in it? Politico, by the way, being one of them, Mediaite being another one, but not just them. The Drudge Report, the New York Times, the Washington Post, scores of media outlets. Look how they're promoting Marjorie Taylor Greene now they love her. But look how they've promoted Tucker Carlson and Bannon and Owens. So here's what I posted today. I had to post it two or.

[Rich]

Three times because my iPhone, as I tapped it out with my right forefinger, kept changing words. We finally got it right, right, Mr. Producer. All anti Semitic, racist and bigoted messaging and other forms of communication should be aggressively condemned. I don't care if it's young Republicans or young Democrats, members of Congress, too.

[Mark Levin]

Many to count media that platform and.

[Rich]

Promote such poison, which is often organizations.

[Mark Levin]

That invite bigots as speakers and debaters, podcasters, comedians, and on and on. I also find it disgusting that some.

[Rich]

Of those condemning the young Republicans and Politico who most certainly should be condemned and removed are as guilty as they are with their headlines and storylines and promotion of a long list of bigots.

[Mark Levin]

It's sinister. Even worse, those who routinely and publicly.

[Rich]

Promote this garbage for their own ratings or clicks, etc.

[Mark Levin]

So called media are not even ashamed of it and seek to monetize it or worse. I stated and I am deeply concerned that the likes of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Steve Bannon and their ilk, as well as their apologists who are not real MAGA or conservatives or Republicans, but a Kapala grifter, psychos and exploiters are being mainstreamed and do have an impact on the minds of too many young people and too many would be one. But it's clearly more than that. Where are the top Republicans denouncing them? Where are other broadcast hosts, columnists and public officials? Those of us who speak out are few in number and often disparaged by the same media outlets that claim offense at the awful things reported in the Politico. Peace. I'm more than happy to have a bigger discussion about this, but as I observe and engage I see too few with the guts to do so, including people in the left wing media. And where are the top Democrats denouncing Mondami, Omar Talib, Sanders, et al? And by the way, I don't mean a handful and a small handful not endorsing him. Where are they denouncing him? These are vile demagogues. They are routinely platformed by the corporate media. The fusion of the media with the Democrat Party makes it less possible to have a real a real and regular condemnation of these people or conversation about them. In fact, one wire service I believe it was AP recently ran a story suggesting legitimate criticism of Mandami and others is Islamophobia.

[Rich]

Islamophobia?

[Mark Levin]

Well, what about CARE and scores of other like organizations with ties to Hamas spreading their hate and propaganda, especially in the media? None identifies with the gop, none of those groups do. Many work within the Democrat Party orbit or they use Hamas propaganda, that is the media from casualty figures and accusations of starvation and genocide in Gaza allegedly perpetrated by the Israelis. They spread that throughout the media, accompanied at times with phony photographs regurgitated not only by independent media grifters of the type I just spoke of, but Democrat Party officials and surrogates, which is obviously intended to promote Jew hatred. The corporate Western media, which is overwhelmingly Democrat and left wing, has played a huge role in spreading this hate. I'm not talking about criticizing Israel. I'm talking about spreading blatant lies and hate. The rot within the Democrat Party and their media, not to mention their allied academic institutions, promotes the soft if not outright embrace of terrorists and Marxist ideology. Language and Front Groups what about the language used by the Democrats on any given Sunday on one of the networker cable shows against President Trump when he enforces the immigration laws, cuts programs and spendings, gives a speech and so forth. And I could go on and on. I wrote extensively about this and unfreedom of the press. Now obviously there are times when such analogies against certain individuals or movements actually fit, but not against this president and his millions of supporters. Last time I checked, he's the best friend Israel ever had and he's the most openly and aggressive fighter against anti.

[Rich]

Semitism in this country ever.

[Mark Levin]

This is nothing but agitprop, as Lenin called it. And part of the problem. The corporate media, numerous media websites and desperate podcasters, among others, are a huge part of all of this. This cancer, this cancer is in fact spreading. So Politico does the story on young Republicans. It's even worse. It's far worse. And Politico is a participant. In the meantime, I look forward to reading that, Tex. Politico will undoubtedly secure from elements within the Democrat Party to prove how ubiquitous this problem is. Right, Politico. Now for the morons out there who.

[Rich]

Keep yelling free speech in the First Amendment, who don't know the Constitution from toilet paper because they're ignoramuses. This isn't about free speech.

[Mark Levin]

I'm not talking about the First Amendment and government action. I'm talking about we the people, defending our civil society and our way of life from an evil and dark and dark. Evil and darkness that threatens them and those individuals and institutions that are spreading them. You see, we're allowed to use free speech, too. We're allowed to use freedom of association, too. We're allowed to turn people off. We're around to defund them. It's all in private, free activity. We must stop promoting these people. They are destroying our country. They are destroying our youth. They are destroying our party. They have destroyed the other party. And the left uses them. They attack them and they use them and promote them. If we had a real press in this country, a press that really cared about this country, press that really cared about American principles, this would be a different place.

[Rich]

A different place. I'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

Mud loving.

[Mark Levin]

Folks, I have a question for you.

[Rich]

Do you believe America's best days are.

[Mark Levin]

Still ahead with the 250th anniversary of.

[Rich]

The signing of the Declaration of Independence.

[Mark Levin]

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 with President Trump's administration in office, we have an opportunity to turn the tide and usher in a new golden age for America. But the Heritage foundation needs to hear from you what policies do patriots like you most care about? What do you believe are the defining principles of America? What legacy do you believe we should pass on to the next Generation? Please visit heritage.orglevin today and share your feedback and help shape the future of America. That's heritage.org Levin paid for by the Heritage Foundation.

[Rich]

You know, it's up to us, we the people, to really push back against all this. People who speak this way. They don't represent you and me. They don't represent our party. They don't represent what it is that we're trying to do in terms of promoting our country and saving our country. They just don't. And I'm talking about people really, with big platforms. People with big platforms. I'm talking about media outlets, whether they big, the big corporate media or whether they be these. These websites, you know, these aggregating sites, whether they be podcasters and so forth. There are literally thousands and thousands of podcasters. There are hundreds and hundreds of these media sites. You don't have to agree with every one of them. You don't have to agree with most of them. You know, we had a caller into this program. I guess Today's Wednesday, Mr. Producer. I think it was either Monday or Friday. I think it was last week. And we had to dump them and dump what they said. He called in and he made some statements about Muslims. And then he made the statement and was laughing about it as if he's sitting there and doesn't give a damn what he says or the consequences, that all Muslims look alike. Remember that guy, Mr. Producer? He's a bigot. All Muslims don't look alike. And if you want to talk about Islamists and jihadists and so forth and so on, you want to talk about the Muslim faith, the Christian faith, the Jewish faith. Look, I'm open to discussing all these things, but you don't come on my program. Try to smear the program. Try to destroy the program. Try to smear me by projecting your bigotry onto the program or me or you folks.

[Mark Levin]

I'm not going to tolerate it ever.

[Rich]

And I never have, and I never have. Islamism is a real thing. Islamists, I should say, are real things, are real people. And they're called Islamists for a reason. Jihadists are real people, and they're called jihadists for a reason. And there's effect.

[Mark Levin]

They have an effect on the whole world. They murder, they slaughter.

[Rich]

Whether it's Muslims, Jews, Christians, or anybody who doesn't buy into it.

[Mark Levin]

This is a fact. It may be Uncomfortable for some, but it's a fact. But don't call into this program and.

[Rich]

Tell me all Muslims look alike and.

[Mark Levin]

Start that crap, you're on the wrong show. There are shows where you can do this now. They're not on the radio, they're not on tv. But you got podcasters. You can call in there and say any damn thing you want. But you and I have standards. It's not a matter of controlling free speech. These fools are free to say whatever the hell they want to. And there are platforms that will platform them and promote what they say. Not this one. And what I'm saying is, when you have a media out there that is lamenting that this sort of thing goes on, when they promote the podcasters and others who do it and they think it is funny or they want to stir the pot or whatever the reason, they are participants in this. They are participants using their platform, their resources, their writers, what have you to advance it. And it is a metastasizing cancer, particularly among our youth. Particularly among our youth. And we have a responsibility to confront it. I'll be right back. We're coming upon the 250th birthday of the United States. And it has me thinking, what will.

[Rich]

America look like 250 years from now?

[Mark Levin]

My friends at the Heritage foundation want to know what you think. What policies should America prioritize? What principles should carry us into the decades ahead as America enters a new golden age? Heritage recognizes that this is the time to take stock and to be intentional about how we shape the future of America. And they can't do it without your input. So please go to heritage.org Levin and let them know what you think is important. Without patriots like you stepping up and speaking up for what you believe in, America as we know it can't survive for another 250 years. Please go to heritage.org Levin heritage.org Levin take the survey on America's future. This survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete, but it is critical for making sure that the America we pass on to future generations is an America we're proud of. Go to heritage.orglevin today. That's heritage.org Levin paid for by the Heritage Foundation, America's most powerful conservative voice. The Mark Levin Show. Dial in now. 877-381-3811. Welcome back, America. Speaking of a Marxist, Islamist full bore.

[Rich]

He'S full out, full throated. We have Mandami. Extraordinarily dangerous individual. The whole movement is dangerous. The Marxist Islamist movement dressed up as a democratic socialist movement. There's on FOX News TODAY with our friend Margaret McCallum, Martha McCallum. And Martha is fantastic. Listen to this. Cut seven, go.

[Mandami]

When it comes to the ceasefire, I am thankful and I have hope that it will actually endure and that it will be lasting. And I continue to have concerns because I've seen reports still just this in the last few days that five Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military. And that's what gives me pause about issuing any kind of praise or celebration at a moment when it is still so in its infancy. And what I will tell you is that in that same moment, it is also one that requires a focus on ensuring that that hope, that belief in a better future is one that is emblematic in our policies right here in New York City as well. And that's what we're hoping to lead with.

[Interviewer]

Would you give President Trump credit or not? To any extent. Credit or not?

[Mandami]

I think it's too early to do so.

[Interviewer]

Too early to say.

[Mandami]

But if it, but if it proves to be something that is lasting, something that is durable, then I think that that's where you give credit.

[Rich]

What a fraud. What a fraud. They've killed five Palestinians, his friends. Hamas is slaughtering Palestinians left and right as I speak. You can go online and even see some of it. They beat them to a pulp. Anybody who dares to challenge them, anybody who belongs to one of these clan families that rejects them, you really need to look at this, folks. They are executing them publicly, what's called field executions. He says not one damn thing about that. It's the Israelis killing Palestinians, don't you know? And they killed five. Don't you know? Now, look, the guy's a Jew hater. He's an Israel hater. He's a Hamas lover. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth, but mostly out of one side of his mouth. And in the years past, and I.

[Mark Levin]

Don'T mean when he was 14 years.

[Rich]

Old, I mean when he was a state representative. He still is, I suppose, or he's a city councilman or whatever the hell he is these days. I'm just making the point to you that this is a very vile, poisonous candidate and movement. That's exactly what it is.

[Mark Levin]

He's part of the river to the Sea crowd.

[Rich]

He does defend Hamas.

[Mark Levin]

He tries to. He tries to play with it, play with the language, you know, Intifada, global intifada. Unbelievable. But he can't hide.

[Rich]

As best as the media may try, he can hide. Cut eight, Mr. Producer. Go.

[Mandami]

I have no issue with critiquing Hamas or the Israeli government. Because my critiques all come from a place of universal human rights. And my philosophy.

[Rich]

No, they don't come from universal human rights. Boy, he talks fast, doesn't he? Rich comes from a place of universal human rights, like we are in Uganda, where he is proudly embraced like we are among Marxists.

[Mark Levin]

They are for human rights. Islamists. They are for human rights. He always has to be pushed and.

[Rich]

Pushed and pushed to condemn the Islamist terrorists.

[Mark Levin]

Have you noticed that? Always, always has to be pushed. And virtually everyone has come forward, virtually everyone who's a rational human being and.

[Rich]

Not an ideologue like him has congratulated President Trump. Go ahead, please.

[Mandami]

Right here in New York City and transforming the most expensive city in America into one that's affordable for each and every New Yorker.

[Mark Levin]

Now how are you going. We're going to do this and we're going to do that. We're going to make it, transform it into a formal city.

[Rich]

This guy hasn't transformed anything into anything. This guy's never done anything ever, ever.

[Mark Levin]

So it's hard for me to understand how he knows how he's going to make it an affordable city. He's going to make it an affordable.

[Rich]

City by giving out freebies.

[Mark Levin]

Now you can make anything affordable by giving out freebies. The problem is everybody becomes poor. And so when there's no food to.

[Rich]

Sell, it's obviously affordable because you don't.

[Mark Levin]

Have to buy it.

[Rich]

There's nothing to buy. I want you to look at Cuba.

[Mark Levin]

That's what he has in mind. Cuba is a destitute country except for the rulers. They're all very, very rich. It is a slave state. People are required to do things they don't want to do. They're required to undertake certain types of conditions they don't want to undertake. They're brand new, 1957 Chevy's.

[Rich]

I'm joking.

[Mark Levin]

They're not new, they're old. The health care is horrendous, despite what Bernie Sanders says.

[Rich]

Bernie Sanders has never gone to Cuba for health care. Nobody goes to Cuba for health care. How ridiculous. Where is their technology come from? Where does their.

[Mark Levin]

Where do their products come from? They can't even keep the lights on. They can't keep the water running. Newsom would love it there. Newsom would be a hero among the communists there. Not that he's a communist.

[Rich]

He's just a boob, a left wing goon.

[Mark Levin]

He's not going to make New York more affordable.

[Rich]

New York City.

[Mark Levin]

He's going to make it poor. He's going to make it impoverished. All kinds of people are going to come there who will take from the system. If you're poor, you'll want to go to New York. You want to get better welfare benefits, you want to get free health care. You want to get free public transportation. You can just see the mess that the subway is going to become, the mess that the buses are going to become. And the police aren't going to be able to do a damn thing about it. Nobody's going to be able to do a damn thing about it. You're going to be suffering through this. He's going to drive up the minimum wage, which means nobody's going to stay there. They're going to leave. And why wouldn't they and why shouldn't they? He's not making, you know, to keep going out. I'm going to make things more affordable in the most expensive city in the world. The Democrats run the city. They've been running the city except for a short respite. They have the city council. They run the city council, they run the state. And we just keep hearing about, well, you know, we're going to make it more affordable. Marxism is not affordable, ladies and gentlemen. It's not. And in addition to losing your property and affordability, you lose your liberty piece by piece. And that's what he's going to do. And he's going to turn some people against others.

[Rich]

That's what he's going to do. Mm. Mm. Unbelievable. All right, where are we, Mr. Producer? Let's continue. Yes, please.

[Interviewer]

I want to get to that. Absolutely. But do you believe that Hamas should lay down their weapons and leave the leadership in Gaza?

[Mandami]

I believe that any future here in New York City is one that we have to make sure that's affordable for all. And as it pertains to Israel and Palestine, that we have to ensure that there is peace and that is the future that we have to fight for.

[Interviewer]

But you won't say that Hamas should lay down their arms and give up leadership in Gaza.

[Mandami]

I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, you do. You have opinions about it. You're trying to conceal it.

[Rich]

Reminds me that the woman running for governor of New Jersey, the woman running for governor of Pennsylvania, the fact of the matter is they have opinions on everything, but they try to conceal them. Men in girl sports, you know, securing the border, all this other stuff where they're enormously unpopular on the wrong side.

[Mark Levin]

But he doesn't have an opinion. His opinion that he's Going to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. And if he arrests Benjamin Netanyahu and.

[Rich]

He interferes with our foreign policy, he should be charged federally by the Trump administration. That's what he should do. Can't have a private citizen, a mayor, interfering with our foreign policy. We don't even recognize the International Criminal Court.

[Mark Levin]

We can't have a precedent where some.

[Rich]

Jackass like this punk, there's no good punk who's done nothing for his country, now wants to destroy his city, our city, New York.

[Mark Levin]

You can't have somebody like this set a precedent. And what will happen when Donald Trump travels over abroad, and if this International Criminal Court decides that he's guilty of.

[Rich]

Something.

[Mark Levin]

Will they be able to arrest him, too? It just shows you what a lunatic.

[Rich]

He is, an absolute lunatic.

[Mark Levin]

And he talks fast and he throws out these shibboleths.

[Rich]

And, yeah, we are going to make.

[Mark Levin]

It more affordable, more. No, you are not. You are going to make food scarce. You are going to drive up the cost of homes. You are going to drive out employers and businesses so people will lose their jobs. Cuomo Sliwa. Be prepared. Plain English. Counter his books, counter his ideology. Counter it. That it's not new, that it's not the future, that it's Cuba, that it's Venezuela. Explain it. That's the way to beat them. If there is still time to beat them, that is the way to do it.

[Rich]

If you really want to beat them, that's the way to do it. Mr. Producer, for the, what, third or fourth or fifth time, would you invite.

[Mark Levin]

This guy on this show? This show right here?

[Rich]

Rich, are you there? Well, if you don't turn on the mic or speak up, I can't hear you. I must be going deaf. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Folks, I have a question for you.

[Rich]

Do you believe America's best days are.

[Mark Levin]

Still ahead with the 250th anniversary of.

[Rich]

The signing of the Declaration of Independence coming up in less than a year?

[Mark Levin]

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 Americans 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, with President Trump's administration in office, we have an opportunity to turn the tide and usher in a new golden age for America. But the Heritage foundation needs to hear from you. What policies do patriots like you most care about? What do you believe are the defining principles of America. What legacy do you believe we should pass on to the next generation? Please visit heritage heritage.org Levin today and share your feedback and help shape the future of America. That's heritage.org L E V I N Paid for by the Heritage foundation now here's Mandami.

[Rich]

Cut nine he wants to arrest Netanyahu. That's. It's just incredible to me. I mean, of all the people out there, all the genocidal maniacs, particularly in the countries that this guy admires, and.

[Mark Levin]

The terrorist group Hamas, the Palestinian terrorists. No, it's Netanyahu.

[Rich]

Cut nine Go.

[Interviewer]

You have said that you would arrest Netanyahu if he came to the United States. You've been very outspoken in your criticism of him. Do you stand by that? You would arrest him if he came here, if you were mayor?

[Mandami]

I've said that this is a city that believes international law and this is a city that wants to uplift and uphold those.

[Mark Levin]

Don't.

[Rich]

Don't say this is a city that believes this or that, moron. When you're never going to get a majority to vote. You'll just get a plurality. And don't tell us this is a city that believes xyz because you don't have any legal authority of any kind to arrest any foreign head of state, any period.

[Mark Levin]

Can you imagine, ladies and gentlemen of cities? And these mayors take it upon themselves. They won't arrest illegal aliens, they won't arrest criminals.

[Rich]

I mean, big time felons and recidivists.

[Mark Levin]

They don't want prosecutors to prosecute them. They don't want the police to get them. But Benjamin Netanyahu, he'll use the full force of the law when he doesn't even have lawful authority to do it.

[Rich]

Go ahead.

[Mandami]

The Prime Minister.

[Interviewer]

United States doesn't stand by the International Criminal Court.

[Mandami]

It hasn't signed the treaty for the International Criminal Court. The International Criminal Court, however, has issued a warrant for the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu, as it has.

[Interviewer]

How many crowns in the United States.

[Mandami]

Could you arrest him on, as it has for Vladimir Putin? I've said that I believe that we should uphold arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court and that we would.

[Mark Levin]

So here we have a mayor who's.

[Rich]

Decided that he will recognize the International Criminal Court.

[Mark Levin]

Here we have a mayor who has decided he will not recognize federal immigration laws. So he claims a sanctuary city status where they will not assist with the arrest and deportation of even violent criminal illegal aliens. But he assumes power, ultra or extra power, Power that He does not have, as a mayor, to arrest the head of a country by a corrupt ICC that we don't belong to either.

[Rich]

Go ahead.

[Mandami]

Abiding with all of the laws in front of us. I'm not going to make a new law to ensure that we can actually.

[Mark Levin]

You don't have the power.

[Rich]

Abide by.

[Mark Levin]

What laws? What laws are you even talking about, ladies and gentlemen? This is what I mean. Representative government is not extraterritorial. International organizations do not represent you. You do not vote for them. They must not have no control over your lawful processes. We have a constitution. That's it. Not an International Criminal Court. Reagan rejected it. The Bushes rejected it. Trump rejects it. The Senate has never ratified a treaty recognizing the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. We worry about our own military personnel being gathered up this way. These are tribunals that are headed by judges appointed by European countries and others. They tend to be very left wing. They do not employ our standards under our Bill of Rights. They do not employ our understanding of justice and law. As you can see by what this International Criminal Court did, it's corrupt as hell. At the urging of South Africa and Ireland and Spain, all of whom are run by radical leftists, even Marxists, who hate Israel and hate us, by the way. You cannot outsource our Constitution and our sovereignty. And that's what this guy is doing. He's throwing in with the Marxists, the international Marxists and leftists in Europe, in Africa, and also I'm talking about Ireland and so forth, because that's the jurisdictions, or those are the jurisdictions that he. That he respects. And so he's saying we honor international law. He honors international law. Who makes international law. So now we are going to honor the European Union's law, not our own law. Now we are going to honor Russia's law and China's law. Now we are going to honor the law of the Arab states. What the hell is he talking about? In the United States, mayors have no role, none in international relations. Mayors have a responsibility to uphold federal law under the Supremacy Clause and other clauses of the Constitution. He rejects that. And now he wants to use extra constitutional and territorial law. Go ahead.

[Interviewer]

Would allow you to arrest Netanyahu in New York City.

[Mandami]

I've appreciated Commissioner Tisch's leadership of the nypd, and I think that she's done a good job at lowering crime across the city.

[Interviewer]

But if she. Do you think that she would. She would go along with arresting Netanyahu in New York?

[Mandami]

I can tell you that I'm going to exhaust Every legal option in front of me not to make new laws to do so.

[Rich]

You have no legal option, moron. This guy's extremely dangerous.

[Mark Levin]

New York, you have an opportunity to.

[Rich]

Put an end to this. You have an opportunity to go vote. Make sure your family votes. Make sure your friends and your neighbors vote. They're going to vote the right way.

[Mark Levin]

And put an end to this right here and right now.

[Rich]

We'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here now. Broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number. Hello. 877-3813, 811-877-3-813 811.

[Rich]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Levin]

So what are the odds of the.

[Rich]

Democrats taking back the House? Now, I worry a little about rope a dope. I worry a little bit about these polls, these data guys run CNN and elsewhere. I like this guy. Harry Enthony is very entertaining, but still trust but verify, right? The old Reagan line, we better fight like hell or we're going to lose the House. That's Mark's view. That is my view. We better fight like hell. We're going to lose the House. We lose the House, we lose the presidency, we lose the agenda, and we might lose the next presidential election. We cannot lose the House, folks. Now, we don't want to lose the Senate either. So what I'm saying is the House and the Senate, but we need to fight like hell, like our country's on the line. Because it is on the line. Because it is on the line. Now here's Harry Anton. He's the CNN chief data analyst. He's got some good news. But I am not playing this to cause you to sort of be lulled to sleep here.

[Mark Levin]

These midterm elections are important. These elections in New Jersey and Virginia.

[Rich]

They'Re crucial, Mr. Badu.

[Mark Levin]

So let's see if our Republican friend.

[Rich]

Our friends in both those states want to come back. One more shot, but let's listen to this.

[Mark Levin]

Cut 13.

[Rich]

Go.

[Harry Entony]

So, you know, if you go back six months ago, you go back to April K. Ball, when what were we looking at, well, we were looking at the Democrats with a very clear shot of taking control of the US House of Representatives. According to the Cauchy prediction market odds, we saw them at an 83% chance. But those, those odds have gone plummeting down. Now we're talking about just a 63%.

[Mark Levin]

Chance while the GOP see that 63%.

[Rich]

That'S still a landslide by any measure.

[Mark Levin]

63%.

[Rich]

Okay, 63%. Now again, a poll is a poll is a poll. You know, I'm not big on polls, but I want you to listen to this because people are playing it on TV and radio.

[Mark Levin]

I'm playing it, but for a different, a different lesson.

[Rich]

How many times have we heard about us winning massively midterm elections?

[Mark Levin]

I remember one of my friends who's.

[Rich]

Very well known, he was on Fox.

[Mark Levin]

Talking about picking up 60 House seats.

[Rich]

And getting close to 60 Republicans in the Senate. What? What?

[Mark Levin]

He's a smart guy too.

[Rich]

People get carried away with this stuff. I missed a reality.

[Mark Levin]

It's true.

[Harry Entony]

Go ahead, rocket up like gold. Up from 17% to now a 37% chance. So we'll look like a pretty clear.

[Mark Levin]

So Republicans have a 37% chance of retaining the House.

[Rich]

Does that sound like a lot to you, Mr. Producer? It sounds like a pittance to me.

[Mark Levin]

Gone from 17 to 37%. Now, I don't know if any of this is true. And by the way, we have a.

[Rich]

Long way to the election, the midterm election.

[Mark Levin]

But I do know this.

[Rich]

We need to keep registering, we need to keep active, we need to keep pushing the agenda.

[Mark Levin]

I know the speaker of the House knows that.

[Rich]

How do I know?

[Mark Levin]

Because I watch him. He's doing a hell of a job. But I'm not talking about elected members of the House and Senate. I'm talking about we, the people here in our communities, in these congressional districts, can't sit back on this, folks. This is as crucial as a presidential election. And I'll bet you if Donald Trump were here, he'd tell you the same exact thing.

[Harry Entony]

Go ahead in the House come next year has become much closer to a toss up at this point, although still slightly leaning Democrats.

[Mark Levin]

Excuse me, 63.

[Rich]

Excuse me, 63 to 37 is not close to a toss up. Now usually like this guy. What the hell is he talking about? Look, I'm not into wishful thinking. I'm into thinking There's a difference.

[Mark Levin]

63 to 37%. Close to a toss up. Seriously, America, if these polls are even right, and I don't know that they are. They could be deadly wrong. What I'm trying to say is don't allow stuff like this to cause you to be lax or would definitely lose. Go ahead, please.

[Harry Entony]

Okay. What has changed? Well, why don't we just take a look at the national picture first, take a look at voters and how they're feeling about things. And we can take a look at the generic congressional ballot. And I want to take a look and compare it to 2017. 2018. Right. Because that's sort of the baseline. That was, of course, the first Trump term. That was where Democrats were sort of keeping pace. You go back to April, look at the generic congressional ballot. What you see, you see plus three Democrats in 2025. In April, you see plus three Democrats back in April of 2017. Now jump over to this side of the screen. What happens? Well, the Democrats are no longer keeping pace with the pace that they were setting back in 2017. 2018. You look back in 2017, you saw that the Democrats had leaped up to an eight point advantage. I remember covering this. I remember a lot of folks, including myself, saying, you know what, Republicans look pretty decent right now in terms of the fact that they had the House, they had the Senate, they had the presidency, but things were likely going to flip. And I was looking for the same signs this year. The bottom line is it hasn't happened. Kate Ball, when it hasn't happened, Democrats have stayed basically steady. They have fallen off the pace. Democrats were way out ahead back in 2017.

[Rich]

Way out ahead was 8%. Now they're at 3%. Do I understand that, Rich? Is that what he's saying? I mean, maybe, you know, majorities are won and lost by 1 or 2 or 3%. But I'm not, I'm not taking a victory lap yet, folks. I'm not.

[Mark Levin]

And I'm wondering why he is.

[Rich]

For us, you have to have a healthy skepticism, say, say reality. And remember all those hosts, including on our favorite network and in conservative radio, going on and on about how sweeping our victory was going to be during that midterm election and the Democrats took the House and the whole time was.

[Mark Levin]

Spent on investigating Trump subpoenas and impeachment. Folks, this is serious. This is serious. Listen to the numbers. Do they sound like overwhelming numbers to you? They went from 8% to 3%. That doesn't sound like it's that awful. Now, if we went to 3%, that would sound pretty good. I still wouldn't necessarily trust the numbers. They've dropped from 83% likelihood to 63%. Likelihood that they'll take the House and the Republicans have rocketed up the 37%. Even the, even the verbs that he uses to describe this. Does that sound right to you? Doesn't sound right to me. When's the last time a presidential candidate got 63% of the vote? When's the last time? I think it was George Washington and we don't even know what the percentage.

[Rich]

Of the vote was. Go ahead, please.

[Harry Entony]

And now we're basically looking at Democrats ahead, but again, they are so far in back of the pace that they set back there. And so I think what a lot of folks are saying, seeing folks like myself are saying, wait a minute, given what we might be seeing in redistricting, is this plus three going stop there.

[Rich]

That's a different point, isn't it? Redistricting. This is where the president and some of these Republican state governors have done a very good job and an important job. For too long, the Republicans have sat back as the Democrats have gerrymandered their states to the point of absurdity. In Illinois, in California, in Massachusetts, where they don't even have a Republican seat. No, not because of all the voters, but because of the gerrymandering. And the Republicans didn't counter, but now they have. Abbott is a great governor. In Missouri, they've countered, they've picked up a seat. They're going to do the same thing. I don't know if they'll do it in time, though, in Florida, because certain state laws are different than other states. But now wisely, Republicans under Trump and under some of the great governors are looking at states and they're trying to.

[Mark Levin]

Figure out how to, how to counter.

[Rich]

The Democrats who invented this whole thing.

[Mark Levin]

I've told you before, I think I.

[Rich]

Must have been the first because people were so scared of being called names and so forth that the whole point of the open borders was to create these new Democrat congressional districts and to improve their position in the Electoral College. That's it.

[Mark Levin]

And then eventually, through birthright citizenship, to have what they hope will be millions.

[Rich]

And millions of more Democrat voters. That's right. We discussed this.

[Mark Levin]

We've discussed this for years.

[Rich]

I actually wrote about this, aspects of this anyway, in Liberty and Tyranny, not about gerrymandering per se, but the change in the immigration laws in order to accommodate the Democrats. Go ahead. That's it. That's probably enough. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Mark LE Begin Our society works because.

[Rich]

Phase two, the peace plan. And I told you this would be the issue. What happens to Hamas? I asked you, I asked you here, I asked you on Blaze, I asked you on Fox, what happens to Hamas? Hamas, what happens? They said they're not going to disarm, so who's going to disarm them? And if they don't disarm, then Gaza is not demilitarized. And the Israelis gave up 48% of Gaza to Hamas. You mean the IDF has to go back in there, lose more lives in order to do what they were poised to do, to destroy Hamas. Now they have to fight for ground they gained all over again, street to street, neighborhood to neighborhood, until they surround the city of Gaza. Do you understand what I mean, folks? All the people attacking Netanyahu, attacking me and others who said as a matter of rationality, they should be able to finish this, this, this terrorist organization off. Now, if you watch my shows weekend before on Fox, if you watched it Sunday, Saturday, this weekend, if you've been listening to this radio show, watch me on the Blaze. I've said it to him, blue in the face. These Islamists are not going to go away, not with any peace plan, no matter who signs it. And the Arab and Muslim countries need to be held to account in some way, in some form to try and eliminate the terrorism that is in their.

[Mark Levin]

Boundaries, within their sovereignty. The leadership of Hamas is in Qatar. The leadership of Hamas is in Turkey. The leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood is in Egypt. Al Qaeda was founded In Saudi Arabia. This isn't complicated. In fact, it's quite simple. What is complicated is the unwillingness of these Arab and Muslim countries to extinguish the terrorism. Some of them are funding it, some of them are afraid of it, and they acquiesce to it. But what's little Israel supposed to do? Just play defense all the time, and when they're hit, fight back? What are we supposed to do? Keep spending hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars to protect us from these people? And they are putting money in our country to try and create the illusion that they are westernized. They're not westernized. Qatar is not Westernized. It's a brutal genocidal regime that still funds the Muslim Brotherhood, that still protects the leadership of Hamas. And now we are committed to using the United States military to protect Qatar. After we lavish praise on them for their fantastic job. Well, how fantastic is the job been? Look at Hamas. Hamas is slaughtering Palestinians as I speak. You're not hearing a damn thing about it. No marching in the street because Hamas owns these organizations, if not directly, indirectly. Care. Students for justice in Palestine, all these other groups. It was never about Hamas. It was never about terrorism. It was about destroying the United States of America and destroying the State of Israel. Whose soldiers are standing up to this? Not Europe soldiers. Not American soldiers. Israeli soldiers. And what are they going to be accused of? Genocide again? Of starving the population again? People in Gaza today, tonight, yesterday, tomorrow, are being butchered, are being executed by.

[Rich]

Hamas.

[Mark Levin]

And the God forbid, future mayor of New York City, Mondami, is attacking the Israelis. He doesn't give a damn about human life affordability. They found a word. We're every moron. Yeah, I can't. It's very expensive. I need help. I have an idea. Let's vote for a Marxist Islamist. He'll fix stuff. He's 33. Done so much. He's just unbelievable, this guy. No, he's not. He's the enemy. He's the enemy within. That's right. I said it because he is. He's a thousand times worse than a liberal Democrat. A thousand times worse than a liberal Democrat. 10,000 times worse than a rhino. It's the enemy within. We had a cold war with the Communists. He's a communist. We were attacked by the Islamists. He's an Islamist. It's like pulling teeth. He won't criticize Hamas, but he will arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. We'll look at every law. There is no law, you munchkin. There's nothing. Nothing.

[Rich]

It's a big deal. They're relying on Republicans to save the day in New York. Isn't that amazing? They have to rely on Republicans because the Democrat leadership is so feckless, so.

[Mark Levin]

Weak, so pathetic that they allowed this to happen to their party. They allowed the primary voting system to change. So relatives, handful, small percentage. The most radical elements in our country and in that city could vote relative small number of voters take over the Democrat Party and make this guy their nominee. And the governor of New York, a moron who inherited her seat from Cuomo because he had to resign. She endorsed them. She endorsed. By the way, does she have a face for Halloween or not?

[Rich]

Mr. Producer, definitely. There's a mask. I say that with all due respect, of course, and admiration. Oh, yeah. So Hamas is slaughtering today, tonight, slaughtering away, and nobody gives a damn.

[Mark Levin]

President cares.

[Rich]

But you're not hearing from Arab and Muslim countries.

[Mark Levin]

Where's this international force?

[Rich]

Where are they?

[Mark Levin]

Well, it takes time, you know, they.

[Rich]

Got to have the right uniforms. They don't have. They don't have the proper. Where are they? The Israelis did exactly what they were asked to do. They moved fast to that agreed upon temporary defense line which gives Hamas now 48% of Gaza. They are rearming, they're redeploying, they're reorganizing. They're wiping out any competition, any challenges. They're wiping out so called clans, that is families that resist them. They're slaughtering them by the dozens. They're executing people publicly with a bullet behind the head to demonstrate there must.

[Mark Levin]

Be no resistance whatsoever. And you're not hearing crap from the.

[Rich]

Prime Minister of Britain.

[Mark Levin]

You're not hearing crap from France, you're not hearing crap from Canada, from Australia, all these left wing leaders. You're hearing nothing. You're not hearing anything. You're not hearing anything from the river to the sea crowd. You're not hearing from Talib or Omar or AOC or Sanders. You're not hearing from them. You're not hearing complaints from Mondami. He hadn't said a damn thing.

[Rich]

No.

[Mark Levin]

Where's care? Where are all of them?

[Rich]

Silence is support. Silence is support for what's going on. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Our society works because of the freedoms.

Call in now at 877-381-3811. Here's what.

[Rich]

Here's what Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM Commander, put out today. Very important. We strongly urge Hamas to immediately suspend violence and shooting at innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza. In both Hamas held parts of Gaza and those secured by the IDF behind the yellow line. This is an historic opportunity for peace. Hamas should seize it by fully standing down, strictly adhering to President Trump's 20 point peace plan and disarming without delay. We have conveyed our concerns to the mediators who agreed to work with us to enforce the peace and protect innocent Gaza civilians. We remain highly optimistic for the future of peace in the region. Now it is very interesting, isn't it? Very interesting. We shall see what happens. I know what's going to happen. It doesn't matter how many statements we put out. Doesn't matter what anybody has to say. Any country, any leader. Unfortunately, this is a terrorist group. I told you before that the west does not comprehend this ideology from the seventh century. Primitive bastards. Their ideology goes further back than that a couple thousand years. The more people they kill in the most inhumane ways they believe, the more success they have and the closer to God they become and to heaven. And anybody who disagrees with them, anybody. It's like the Marxist leadership needs to be eliminated in the most humiliating and horrifying way. That's it. That's what they believe. And so that's what they do. And these are like cockroaches. Hamas. Behind Hamas is Al Qaeda. Behind Al Qaeda is isis. Behind ISIS is Islamic Jihad. Behind them are a thousand other groups. And behind all of them Is the mothership the Muslim Brotherhood, funded by Qatar, by the way. You know, the royalty in Qatar and the royalty in Saudi Arabia still hate each other's guts, but they have a common enemy, the Jews. Why? For one, it distracts from the failings of their own royal governments.

[Mark Levin]

And it.

[Rich]

Brings them in unity with the terrorists so the terrorists aren't focused on toppling them. Which they greatly fear. Which they greatly fear. There's more. Let me pull this up here. Israeli military says, before I get to that New York post, Hamas carries out public executions just hours after peace treaty signing. Terrified Gazans fear Hamas won't disarm as terrorists massacre Palestinians, punishing families. I've discussed this for what now, Mr. Producer? Five minutes total. That's five minutes more than anybody else. It's shameless and shameful. The war in Gaza has stopped, but the killing hasn't, writes the New York Post. Palestinians are scared for their lives, as many fear. Hamas has no plans to saddle up for phase two of President Trump's peace deal will continue to slaughter civilians who stand up against the terror group. I told you phase two was the problem. Phase two was the issue. I told you Saturday, I told you Sunday, I told you Monday, I told you Tuesday, I'm telling you tonight, I.

[Mark Levin]

Told you the week before.

[Rich]

From the first moment the Israeli planes disappeared from the sky, Hamas began punishing the families. One Gazan activist in the war torn land told the New York Post. They accused people collaborating with Israel, but that's not true. They just opposed Hamas. During the war, Hamas executed civilians in front of people's eyes, said the activists, who asked not to be named for obvious reasons. No names, no confessions, nothing. Just grab them and they beat them, ladies and gentlemen, and they executed them. Activist Amin Abed. Amin Abed, who fled Gaza after Hamas.

[Mark Levin]

Tortured and nearly beat him to death.

[Rich]

Over his opposition to the October 7 terror attack on Israel, said the terror group was using the executions as they show force and, and has no intentions of relinquishing power or giving up its weapons.

[Mark Levin]

He said Hamas is much stronger than any family or civilian group.

[Rich]

They can crush anyone who stands against them.

[Mark Levin]

What we're seeing now is Hamas waging.

[Rich]

A war against its own people. And they've been waging this war through starvation, too.

[Mark Levin]

The Israelis have been made out as the, as the aggressors, as the genocidal maniacs, when the Israelis actually have been the saviors.

[Rich]

If they had been free to destroy.

[Mark Levin]

This terrorist group which they had surrounded.

[Rich]

In city of Gaza, this outcome would be much different. And I want to add something else. This shows you how incredible these IDF soldiers are fighting these barbarians. Nobody else can beat them. Nobody else in the Middle east is capable of defeating them except the Israeli army, the Israeli Defense Forces. Nobody else. With the genius of the prime minister and his tactics, them and Hezbollah and Iran. This should underscore for any skeptics. I don't mean ideological, hateful opponents, skeptics. The brilliance and the capability and the courage of this Prime Minister Netanyahu.

[Mark Levin]

We see, says the activists, we see.

[Rich]

Hamas restoring its full strength. They're everywhere again, as police, as militia, as security. We're deeply concerned about the return of Hamas to power and the continuation of the violence under Hamas in Gaza and exposing us again to the same injustice that we've experienced for 17 years now.

[Mark Levin]

If Hamas reigns in power, Abed warned.

[Rich]

The cycle of violence between Israel and Hamas will emerge again sometime soon. We're afraid that the bloody war will.

[Mark Levin]

Be back and Hamas will wage another October 7th attack. We believe the world will forget about.

[Rich]

Us and Hamas will rule us with an iron fist for many more years.

[Mark Levin]

The source in Gaza predicted Hamas would next try to convince Trump and his allies that only that group can maintain.

[Rich]

Security and stability in Gaza as a.

[Mark Levin]

Strategy to stay in power. That better not happen. Trump and Netanyahu must pressure Hamas and.

[Rich]

Its backers, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey to.

[Mark Levin]

Truly implement the terms of the deal. If Hamas keeps even some weapons, it.

[Rich]

Means they keep everything. They'll never leave Gaza. While some analysts have speculated that a.

[Mark Levin]

Civil war could break out among the.

[Rich]

Factions in Gaza, the activists in Gaza said it's not possible because Hamas is simply too powerful and risking his life by speaking to the Post from Gaza, his overarching message to the world was simple and desperate. Don't leave us to Hamas again. They won't get any support from the Marxist Islamists in the street, from Andami, from college, faculty, from cair. These other groups that pretend to worry about these people, they don't worry about these people. They want Hamas and they want the Jews slaughtered. Yeah, the domestic bloodshed comes as they write in the Post. As Trump on Tuesday said, Face to the peace agreement, which calls for the disarmament of Hamas, establishment of a new governing body had begun, he said. A big burden has been lifted, but the job is not done, the president posted on Truth Social yesterday, referencing the return of the living Israeli Israelis Hamas took hostage on October 7, 2023. Phase two begins right now, said the president. Despite these assurances, the activists and other anti Hamas Gazans with whom the Post spoke warned that the terror group is showing no willingness to move ahead with the next step of the peace plan. The source in Gaza said Hamas is showing off its weapons, its strength. They're saying we are back stronger than ever.

[Mark Levin]

More.

[Rich]

There is no marching in the streets tonight in the United States States against Hamas slaughtering Palestinians. None.

[Mark Levin]

There are no Hamas supporters in the.

[Rich]

Media like Mehdi Hassan and his condemning Hamas for slaughtering Palestinians.

[Mark Levin]

You don't hear from Rashida Talib. You don't hear from Omar. You don't hear from aoc, you don't hear from Bernie Sanders. You don't hear from any of them, do you?

[Rich]

Where are they? Where are they?

[Mark Levin]

Katalson, where is he? Oh, they might get around to it now that I'm mentioning it, but they're not really moved on their own. They're not motivated to condemn Hamas, are they? America, where is care? Well, now that I have said something, they may put out a lame statement, but where have they been?

[Rich]

Where are they?

[Mark Levin]

Where all the Islamist groups in America, where are they?

[Rich]

They are quiet, if not outright supportive of Hamas, but mostly quiet. Mostly quiet. If the IDF had taken a single Palestinian, beaten them within an eyelash of their life, then tied their hands behind them, made them kneel and took a rifle and shot them in the back of the head and put it on video for the Whole world to see. There'd be a Security Council meeting at the United Nations. The Europeans would boycott Israel. They demand not for a Palestinian state, for probably 10 Palestinian states in our own country. Republicans and certainly Democrats would condemn Israel, but Israel doesn't do that, does it? They don't have a single photograph of that.

[Mark Levin]

They don't have a single piece of evidence of anything like that.

[Rich]

And here we are tonight.

[Mark Levin]

You and me, Mr. And Mrs. America, while this is taking place on a massive scale. The slaughter of Palestinians by Palestinians. Hamas is Palestinian. The slaughter of Palestinians by Palestinians. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the rest of them.

[Rich]

There's no marching, no. There's nothing. Nothing. The anti Semitism goes on. The pro Hamas organizations go on. The universities and colleges continue with their poisonous brainwashing. The vast majority of our Democrat Party is silent. The Islamists within the Democrat Party haven't peeped a word. Oh, the poor Palestinians. Nothing.

[Mark Levin]

Nothing. The Marxist Islamist groups in every city in America.

[Rich]

Not a word.

[Mark Levin]

Nothing. And who's calling them out on it?

[Rich]

Little old Mark, just me.

[Mark Levin]

Anybody else calling them out on it? No, no. Too busy with other stuff.

[Rich]

Whatever that other stuff is, I don't know.

[Mark Levin]

That's what's going on. Phase two.

[Rich]

That's what's going on.

[Mark Levin]

But I'm not done. There's more.

[Rich]

There'S more. Let me pull it up for you. So I go through this. I know it's upsetting, it's upsetting, but this is what's going on. Listen to this one. Ready for this one? 160 new Palestinian terrorist millionaires. Palestinian media watch, pal, pal media watch. Israel released 250 terrorists, each serving at least one life sentence for murder to free 20 hostages in prison.

[Mark Levin]

The Palestinian Authority, that's the other terrorist.

[Rich]

Group that they pretend is a moderate group, run by this guy Abbas.

[Mark Levin]

Abbas is 90 years old. He slaughters anybody who challenges his authority. He puts out payments, pensions, bounties.

[Rich]

If Palestinian terrorists from his clan kill Westerners, that includes Americans or Israelis. And depending on how many you kill and how bloody it is, the pension goes up. And if you're killed, the family gets it in prison.

[Mark Levin]

The Palestinian Authority paid them these 250 turdists, huge monthly salaries, total Palestinian Authority terror payout. And they provide you with the entire.

[Rich]

List here that's been acquired. Nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. Nearly a quarter of a billion dollars.

[Mark Levin]

Palestinian Authority keeps proving really pays to slay.

[Rich]

Why did anybody think really if they would lay down their arms, we're going to see. Of course it's going to be up to the Israelis to handle it. Again, as the world says, they need.

[Mark Levin]

To do this, they need to do that. They shouldn't do this, they shouldn't do that.

[Rich]

Not their countrymen's wife. I'll be right back. Have you heard of Gold Belly? That's right, Gold Belly. It's this amazing site that celebrates the best of America by shipping our country's most iconic foods from legendary restaurants straight.

[Producer/Announcer]

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 nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Len.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America, our Power Hour. I'm Mark levin. Our number, 877-381-3811. Yes, we will take calls at the bottom of the hour. 877-381-3811. And by the way, if Mandami, God forbid, is elected, he will be worse.

[Rich]

Once he's elected than when he's running for office.

[Mark Levin]

Then he won't have to hide a damn thing. He won't have to hide a thing. He won't be removed by his radical.

[Rich]

Marxist Islamists city council. He won't be removed by this governor who's a disgusting disgrace. He will be there and he will.

[Mark Levin]

Do whatever the hell he wants to do.

[Rich]

And he will say things that he.

[Mark Levin]

Wouldn'T say during the election. And you might say, what about reelection? He won't care about reelection. You know he's going to take orders from America. The Democratic Socialist Party, AKA the Marxist Islamist party, which has condemned the Trump peace plan. Condemned it. Which is why he won't praise Donald Trump, he will take his orders. He will take his orders from these people hiding in the shadows who hate America, who hate the west, who hate our Constitution, who reject our founding, who hate the Israelis. They will hate most of the constituency who they will claim to represent with a simple word, affordability. And they're mocking you. They're laughing at you in New York City. They're laughing there. Their berets off. They think they're fooling you. They think you're fools. Yeah. Affordability.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Mark Levin]

We'll give you free transportation. Yeah, sure, that won't be a problem.

[Rich]

Yeah. And the rest. These are the worst kind of frauds and phonies. Enough people gonna fall for it because they're stupid or they want to believe.

[Mark Levin]

Or they're newly in the country or whatever. Or whatever. Now this guy Newsom in California has destroyed that state. And he's not even a Marxist Islamist. He's just a big dumb bastard. Our friends at Breitbart.

[Rich]

Yeah.

[Mark Levin]

Newsom marks hostage deal by mocking Trump Netanyahu as dumb and dumber. And then he deletes his post. Now this is a guy. This is a guy who takes oil from his car and puts it in his hair. This is. The guy has an IQ of a negative 17. This is. The guy has all the mannerisms of Bill Clinton with the hands and the hands and the this and the that. It's a whack job. It's a chameleon. California Governor Gavin Newsom, whose official gov Press office account has been posting increasingly vicious attacks on President Donald Trump. Hey, Newsom, you're not Trump. You can't pull it off.

[Rich]

You're a punk, you're a moron, you're low iq. You're a failure.

[Mark Levin]

But he crossed the line yesterday by mocking the release of Israeli hostages.

[Rich]

Newscom is the perfect name.

[Mark Levin]

In a post on X. Newscomb quoted a White House post of a photograph of Trump with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and responded by adding a photograph from the movie Dumb and Dumber. The post was deleted after more than 13 hours online and after severe criticism from people who were offended that the governor of California would mock the release of 20 innocent hostages who'd been kidnapped by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attack. This from Persian Jewess.

[Rich]

In order to commemorate the Gaza pestia.

[Mark Levin]

And the freedom of 20 innocent Israeli hostages, California Governor Gavin Newsom posted memes making fun of Trump and Netanyahu. This is an elected government official in a state with a large Jewish and Israeli population.

[Rich]

Yeah, but those Islamists are Getting big.

[Mark Levin]

In number out there.

[Rich]

The post also appeared to reflect poorly on the Democratic Party, portions of which have cultivated an intense hatred of both Trump and Netanyahu.

[Mark Levin]

But not Hamas. No, the backlash would almost certainly have.

[Rich]

Been even stronger had the post not.

[Mark Levin]

Been published on the Jewish holiday of.

[Rich]

Shamini Azeret, when observant Jews are offline.

[Mark Levin]

The date also marks the second anniversary.

[Rich]

Of the October 7 attacks on the Hebrew calendar. No apology was forthcoming from Governor Dumbass.

[Mark Levin]

Newsom's press office did not delete another similar post that also mocked the hostage release by drawing attention to the skin on President Trump's neck in a Time.

[Rich]

Magazine cover story about the what are these guys, children?

[Mark Levin]

Mickey Mouse? Well, Trump that.

[Rich]

No, Trump didn't do this. No, no. New skim is thinly disguised presidential ambitions. I wonder how many facelifts that guy has had. Probably as many as Nancy Pelosi. That's just my guess.

[Mark Levin]

And the post will almost certainly be.

[Rich]

Used by future opponents to argue that he's unfit to conduct the foreign policy or national security policy of the United States. Joe Pollack wrote this. He's a tremendous journalist. By the way, the ATGA press office is run at Newscomb's direction by staffers including Izzy Garden. Is he or isn't he?

[Mark Levin]

Who boasts of his role in the.

[Rich]

Account and frequently engages inside skirmishes with conservative critics on social media. Well, that's. That's about the. The capacity, the mental capacity of that office, which means it doesn't have one. That's a Newscomb's contribution. He was interviewed, by the way, by. By a guy whose name I can't remember, used to work at tmz. I never heard him, but obviously other people have. He's an African American. And he basically says to. He says to Newscomb, I can't vote for anybody who gets the support of aipac. What do you think of aipac? And so all Newscomb can send responses. That's interesting. Very interesting. But I would say to this African American podcaster, I will not vote for anybody that gets the backing of the naacp. What do you think of that? I am sick and tired of people trashing Jewish organizations.

[Mark Levin]

Aipac. I don't know a damn thing about aipac.

[Rich]

I'm not a member of aipac.

[Mark Levin]

But who cares? What's the point? What's the point when he's trying to really say this podcast or the African.

[Rich]

American podcast, I give you his name. I just can't remember it. Somehow it escaped my memory.

[Mark Levin]

He's attacking them because it's Jewish. Rather than attacking Jews, you attack the entity. And God forbid there's an entity like that. There are no black organizations that lobby Washington, are there, America?

[Rich]

No.

[Mark Levin]

Or Asian?

[Rich]

No.

[Mark Levin]

No. Or a Hispanic? No. No.

[Producer/Announcer]

No.

[Rich]

Nope. Have all these podcasters today attacked Hamas, you know, the Holocaust? Denying anti Semite podcasters or the radical left wing Democrat podcasters? Have any of them? Hmm. What's the name of the guy?

[Mark Levin]

Van Latham.

[Rich]

Oh, Van Latham. Well, I'm sure he's very well known in radical kook circles. I don't know, maybe he's very well known in the black community. I never heard of the guy and I'm glad I haven't. He sounds like a schmuck. How about we get into a few other things here? Did you know Congress collected 30 million lines of phone data in the Trump January six probe? Did you know that? 30 million lines of phone data. You know, Mr. Producer, I still don't know how they got ahold of my emails. Remember that one? And by the way, the emails were not a problem at all. The substance didn't matter. I wasn't involved on January 6th. I wasn't involved in talking to anybody. But so what? They got my emails. I know that because the lawyer representing Fox told me they have 11 or 13 of your emails.

[Mark Levin]

So where the hell they get my emails from, I still don't know. The Democrats are very worried about authoritarianism, don't you know? Oh, yes, and civil liberties and free speech. Very, very worried about it, which is.

[Rich]

Why they try to smother it with a pillow.

[Mark Levin]

Congress collected 30 million lines of phone data in Trump J6 probe raising civil liberty concerns.

[Rich]

Reports our friend John Solomon. Look at that, he's on with with Eric at Real America's voice. Remember Eric, Mr. Producer. What's his last name again? Bowling Boy, what a backstabber that guy turned out to be. Mark, please come on the show. Great one, we love you. Please come on the show. And I couldn't under my contract. I can't do these other shows. Then he brings on Marjorie Teller Greene constantly.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, what do you think of that, Levin?

[Rich]

Hey, what do you. I'll never forget you, buddy. I never will. And I won't attack you for the reason you were fired either. I have too much class to do to you what you do to me. And by the way, I haven't been fired by anybody. You know why, Mr. Producer? I know how to conduct myself. I know how to behave myself. It's called basics.

[Mark Levin]

Congressional investigators collected a stunning 30 million lines of phone data mapping Contacts between conservatives and the Trump White House in the name of investigating the January 6 Capitol breach, a massive dragnet that raises civil liberty concerns about the lack of limits on the ability of lawmakers to snoop on Americans private phone calls.

[Rich]

I don't have many phone calls over there. I'll be perfectly honest with you. I never have.

[Mark Levin]

The mountainous collection of phone records were revealed to the FBI led by Chris Ray. Remember that guy in late 2023? By former representative Adam Kingsinger. Remember that jerk? A GOP member of the Democrat Run House January 6th select committee. The cash, or cache if you prefer, was offered to the Bureau on the eve of the 2024 presidential election as evidence without requiring a warrant, according to an FBI document memorializing the offer that.

[Rich]

Was reviewed by Just the News LA.

[Mark Levin]

Memo says Kinzinger told the FBI that the phone data had been collected by then former Representative Denver Ringelman, an ex Republican who was a staffer on the Capitol Riot Committee who later helped Hunter Biden's legal team in its efforts to cast doubt on the laptop belonging to.

[Rich]

Joe Biden's son Denver Ringleman.

[Mark Levin]

Mr. Bernice.

[Rich]

The FBI memo does not reveal whether the Bureau ever took Kinzinger up on his offer. It does reveal the sheer magnitude of.

[Mark Levin]

A phone surveillance project the Democrats ran by using congressional subpoenas to gather phone records about America's contacts with the Trump White House. This January 6th committee violated House rules because Pelosi picked the Republicans and violated House rules in that after the committee was done and the Republicans won the House, as you know, they destroyed so much data you can't even count the.

[Rich]

Amount of data they destroyed.

[Mark Levin]

In other words, a massive cover up. The extent to which Liz Cheney was involved in witness tampering with certain witnesses, which has been alleged, that's never been pursued. There's a lot that could be pursued.

[Rich]

With this January 6th committee.

[Mark Levin]

A whole lot. And imagine if Politico got the texts. Hey Politico, what do you think?

[Rich]

No, of course not, King Zoo told the FBI the January 6th Committee collected and linked a substantial amount of telephone data noted the FBI may already possess such data. While former Congressman Denver Regelman worked with.

[Mark Levin]

The Select Committee, he had a contact.

[Rich]

And was able to obtain toll information, including for White House route or switchboard numbers via congressional subpoena, the FBI agents wrote in their memo summarizing the offer.

[Mark Levin]

Kingsinger noted that he Kingsinger did not.

[Rich]

Conduct the analysis himself, but the Ringleman.

[Mark Levin]

Had identified certain telephone connections between the numbers identified as being associated with the.

[Rich]

White House and certain individuals What a sleazeball operation.

[Mark Levin]

In a post Wednesday on his substack, King is it confirmed he had the conversation with the FBI in December 2023, alerting agents to the data, but said he believed the collection of phone records was old news because the congressional subpoenas were public. Oh, look, it's old news. Move along, move along. Massive civil liberties violation. Move along. It's like this, a hole. Jack Smith, that rogue. Move along, move along. Don't worry. Just because I was monitoring Republican senators and House members. Move along. Just because I used the law to try and take out Trump. Come on, move along. Don't get bogged down. It's all a trap. It's all a trick. Remember Trump, Hitler? Remember he's backed by neo Nazis. Remember, remember the narrative.

[Rich]

I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago, is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal strong security. But Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity, and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate megastores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Durbin's failed policies before his last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs and fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. Learn [e-mail] that's guardyourcard.com paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

A fairly regular basis an analysis of the accuracy of this program. And I am pleased to announce that the firm of Goldberg, Goldberg and Muhammad have determined that this program is accurate 99.8% of the time. I had thought it was 100% of the time. So we will strive to be perfect. 99.8% of the time is better than any other program on the air, I must tell you. And we received the official results from Goldberg, Goldberg and Muhammad, which is a very reputable firm, and we've asked them to continue this analysis. I want to get to Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson at a hearing on whether majority black congressional districts, whether that's racial gerrymandering under the 1965 Voting Rights Act. That is whether it's racial gerrymandering as opposed to gerrymandering based on population cut. 17, go.

[Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson]

I don't understand why your answer to Justice Kagan's question about is this a compelling state interest? Is no. The answer is obviously yes, that you have an interest in remedying the effects of racial discrimination that we identify using this tool. Whether you go too far in your remedy is another issue. Right.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

Your Honor, I think step zero in all of these cases. It was certainly step zero in the Robinson litigation is the plaintiffs came in and said, we want another majority black district.

[Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson]

I thought they came in and said, we are not receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted, which.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

Is the same way of saying we deserve a second.

[Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson]

No, it's not. Because that, again, just trust me on this, that the second electoral or second district is a remedy that one could offer for a problem that we've identified. And the whole Robinson litigation was about identifying the problem. Is this really happening in Many, many Section 2 cases? The court says, you're wrong, you're fine. There is not an electoral opportunity being denied to you. Go away. In this case, the court. Court said, I see. I'm looking at the factors. I appreciate what you're saying. You've proven that we have this problem. And so the next question is, how do we go about remedying it?

[Mark Levin]

Here's the big battle.

[Rich]

She is worried that this issue, this assignment of congressional districts based on race, something that was put in place 60 years ago to deal with mostly the segregated south and ensure that blacks had representation, she's worried that that's going to be eliminated because over time it was supposed to be and it actually waters down the influence of black voters. Because if you're simply in a black district and that black district is represented, as she hopes, by a black representative, you've really segregated that district and those black voters from having influence in other districts where there are also white voters or Hispanic voters or that sort of thing. Now, she had more to say about this that I want to get to when we return. And so did Clarence Thomas. As a matter of fact, this was going on in a hearing today. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Israel is at war with Iran, a nation whose leaders have vowed to wipe Israel and even the United States off the map. In a necessary act of self defense, Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities, military targets and top leadership. Right now, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid and emergency kits, especially to Israel's most vulnerable people, the sick, the elderly, children and families in great need. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is also making sure that hospitals, emergency rooms and shelters are fully stocked with critical and life saving medical supplies.

[Rich]

The Voting Rights act was passed in 1965, or the Civil Rights act of 1965, if you will. There was also one in 64. This one's different. It was intended to end the dilution of black voting. It was intended to ensure that blacks could vote and their vote would be protected. So for the longest period of time from 1965, certain states and certain counties, even in the Northeast, like in Pennsylvania and New England, were under the watchful eye of the federal government, which declared that there were questions. And what became clear over time was there weren't questions that in the Civil rights division sort of rack or leftists and the Democrats, when they controlled it, they didn't want to let these states and these counties out, despite all the passage of time and literally no evidence of systemic discrimination. It also provides for individual voters to be able to have a cause of action on their own to bring against the government. And there are organizations like the NAACP and others that provide lawyers and funding for those kinds of cases. There are precious few of them, just so you know. So the court ruled some time ago that this part of the Voting Rights act was no longer necessary. There was no evidence to support it. And so as it was expected when it was passed over time, that was eliminated by the court. Now the question is, is it really pro anti discrimination anymore to have these districts that are like 90% black or.

[Mark Levin]

82% black or 94% black?

[Rich]

Doesn't this dissipate the influence of the black vote where they could actually, from a racial perspective?

[Mark Levin]

This is not my perspective.

[Rich]

I'm just saying what the law is from a racial perspective could actually have influence in two districts or three districts rather than put in one.

[Mark Levin]

And what we were finding when I was at the Justice Department.

[Rich]

Is that the NAACP and Groups like that were.

[Mark Levin]

Sometimes on the same side of the state or county Republican Party because the NAACP was focused on how many black.

[Rich]

Representatives they would have out of black districts.

[Mark Levin]

And the Republicans said, that's fine by us. Do not. Do not spread these communities into other communities where we might lose congressional districts. Again, it's not my view. This is. This is what was taking place. And to some extent, it's still taking place, which is why if a justice rules that, no, these districts, where you're loading them up with one minority or another, it's unacceptable because you're actually diluting the strength from that racial or ethnic perspective.

[Rich]

In other words, one man, one vote.

[Mark Levin]

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is fighting for allowing the remedy of what I'll call almost purely black districts.

[Rich]

And what's happening is there's now pushback.

[Mark Levin]

Like, why?

[Rich]

How does that help cut 18 go?

[Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson]

I guess I'm thinking of it. Of the fact that remedial action absent discriminatory intent is really not a new idea in the civil rights laws.

[Mark Levin]

And so what she's saying is, even.

[Rich]

If the intent isn't discriminatory, we need these black districts. We need them anyway because a white representative can't properly represent a black community. This is what she's saying effectively. And the counter to that that's being argued and has been argued is. Wait a minute. That's not how this works. It's not how it's supposed to work. That's not the purpose of the Voting Rights Act. For somebody to draw such a conclusion based on stereotypes. Go ahead.

[Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson]

Dogmatic example of this is something like the ADA Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities act against the backdrop of a world that was generally not accessible to people with disabilities. And so it was discriminatory, in effect, because these folks were not able to access these buildings. And it didn't matter whether the person who built the building or the person who owned the building intended for them to be exclusionary. That's irrelevant. Congress said the facilities have to be made equally open to people with disabilities if readily possible. I guess I don't understand why that's not what's happening here.

[Mark Levin]

I'll tell you why.

[Rich]

I'll tell you why. Because this is actually quite astonishing that she would say this to use a stereotype like this, truly. But that's her view of the world. She's a radical leftist. Talk about physical disabilities. The fact of your skin color is not a physical disability. It may have been at one time. There's no question about it. And people will say, well, it's latent. It's not so open and so forth and so on. But a physical disability is forever. And there are black people and white people who get along, who agree with each other, who have the same objectives, who even have the same politics. They even intermarry. They even intermarry. The problem is they have no evidence to demonstrate that these singularly one color districts, whether they're almost all white or all black or all this or all that, do in fact benefit the people that they are, quote, unquote, supposed to benefit.

[Mark Levin]

What you find is that the power.

[Rich]

Structure, those individuals who represent these districts, those individuals who want to have a sure victory in these districts, many of.

[Mark Levin]

Them are the ones jumping up and down.

[Rich]

Many of them are the ones who are really doing this because they want.

[Mark Levin]

A certain type of power structure.

[Rich]

Go ahead.

[Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson]

In section two is that we are responding to current day manifestations of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they don't have equal access to the voting system. Right. They're disabled. In fact, we use the word disable in Milligan. We say that's a way in which you see that these processes are not equally open.

[Rich]

Mm. So she wants this remedy there and she wants to. To keep it legal and constitutionalized. That is basically single race districts. What the administration is saying, no, maybe there was a time for that. No question. But that law was not expected to be in existence in perpetuity. And you don't have any evidence other than your suppositions and stereotypes to suggest so. To suggest so. Yeah. All right, let us go to Clarence Thomas. And the Louisiana Solicitor General actually is the one challenging this. Benjamin Agwanaga. Go ahead.

[Mark Levin]

What role did Robinson play in the development of SB8?

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

Justice Thomas Robinson is the only reason SB8 exists. We fought tooth and nail in the Robinson litigation itself to, in, in telling the courts that we did not think the Constitution permitted us to draw a second majority black district.

[Mark Levin]

Just stop right there.

[Rich]

By the way, SB8 is shorthand for these congressional districts or the redistricting plan. I should be, I should say in Louisiana. And so their solicitor general, L.A. st. Robinson. A Supreme Court decision is the only reason these, these districts exist the way that they exist. We fought tooth and nail in the Robinson litigation itself in telling the courts that we did not think the Constitution permitted us to draw a second black majority district, as you know, under protest. And again, people might say, well, why not? And the reason is you watered down the black vote in other districts when you build districts. Gerrymander in a way where they are mostly black, or mostly white, for that matter. But I want to talk about, you know, African Americans here. And so there is a real downside, a lot of people believe, to continuing with this practice, to continuing with it. Go ahead.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

SB8. Because the threat was that the federal courts were going to do it if we didn't. And that's, I mean, I think that's the best way to conceive of why SB8 exists. We would never pass SB8 in the first instance without Robinson.

[Mark Levin]

Justice Thomas, what were the findings in Robinson?

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

The finding by, by the middle district in Robinson was that plaintiffs in this case were likely to show a violation of section 2. And the likely violation, and I'm using very broad terminology because I do not know what the underlying violation is, I can't articulate that for you, Justice Thomas, because I don't think anybody can. But I think the finding in the district court's mind in that case was that the likely, the likelihood of a Section 2 violation meant that a majority black district was required a second one. And I think, like, that was the bottom line. And when our legislature saw that, we understood the marching order. And that's why you see SB8 as it exists today.

[Rich]

All right, Principal Deputy Solicitor General Hashim Moupon on this hearing question by Sonia Sotomayor. Cut 20 go could control for partisan effect.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

There was racially polarized voting even within the Democratic Party.

[Mark Levin]

That's where Section 2 matters, where you.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

Have a reason to think that a racial group is being treated here, too.

[Mark Levin]

You have proof of that here.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

No, you don't.

[Mark Levin]

What you have here is that Republicans.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

And Democrats are different.

[Mark Levin]

There's no, you have some that even white Republicans or white Democrats won't, won't vote for black candidates. Right.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

But if these were white Democrats, there's.

[Mark Levin]

No reason to think they would have a second district.

[Rich]

None.

[Mark Levin]

And so what is happening here is.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

Their argument is because these Democrats happen.

[Mark Levin]

To be black, they get a second district.

[Solicitor General Hashim Moupon]

If they were all white, we all agree, they wouldn't get a second district. That is literally the definition of race subordinating traditional principles.

[Rich]

Okay. You understand that it's the Democrat Party, he says, that wants an additional black district. If it was mostly white, nobody would care. But it's the Democrat Party says, he's.

[Mark Levin]

Saying it's a power play.

[Rich]

In effect. These arguments really, I can understand them. 20, 30, 40 years ago, I don't really think they, they cut the mustard today, I really don't. And I do think it is really quite discriminatory against a black population when they may have the ability to influence other congressional districts, but they're all being pushed into one or two districts. I think that's a huge mistake to continue to do that. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Yes, we can.

[Rich]

All right, let me see here.

[Mark Levin]

Let's go to Joel Naples, Florida, the great wfsx, a great affiliate there.

[Rich]

How are you? I'm Mark. Good.

[Mark Levin]

It's really good to talk to you.

[Rich]

Thank you. Probably. Thank you. Yeah, I spoke to you about two weeks ago about Hamas and them being, you know, being able to be released, the hostages. And then what happens to hamas and their 1200 or whatever they wanted release.

[Mark Levin]

And now we see what's happening in.

[Rich]

The, you know, the gutted streets of, of Gaza.

[Mark Levin]

And so how, how do you. And then you have all those Arab.

[Rich]

Nations that are the. I could. Look, Joel, just because time is tight.

[Mark Levin]

I could be dead wrong.

[Rich]

But you're asking me. And I think the only way this is going to get done is if they let the greatest prime minister in the history of Israel and unfortunately, those young men and women in the IDF who've been at it for a long time, to go back in, they're going to have to fight over territory they already conquered, surround these bastards and wipe them out and let them wipe them out let them wipe them out with our complete 100% backing. And I assume those Arab and Muslim.

[Mark Levin]

Countries are going to want to back.

[Rich]

Them too, now that they're our dear friends. I say that sarcastically, of course. Thank you, my friend, for your call. Let's see if we can slip in.

[Mark Levin]

I don't think we're going to have.

[Rich]

Time to slip in one more here. I really don't.

[Mark Levin]

I want to thank you folks for.

[Rich]

Joining me every evening or at least five days a week, 6 to 9pm When I started in radio, that was considered the worst time to have a radio show. It's now considered one of the greatest. And that's because of what you and I, but you have blazed over the course of a couple of decades.

[Mark Levin]

We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, the men and women in Ukraine. I hope you're going to be getting.

[Rich]

Your Tomahawk missiles soon so you can better defend yourselves.

[Mark Levin]

The men and women in Israel and.

[Rich]

You red blooded Americans, thank God for you. See you tomorrow.
