George S. Patton (voice actor or clip)
He's here.
Mark Levin Show 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 Le Ven.
Gordon Chang
Foreign.
Mark Levin
Mark Levin here. Our number. 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Most of you listened and watched the President's State of the Union. It was absolutely fabulous. And we'll take a little time discussing it. Some of the highlights. I'm sure you've heard a lot today but you haven't heard from me. We got three full hours and we're going to make maximum use of every second. So we are going to do a deep dive into that. But before we do, ladies and gentlemen, this is becoming absurd. This fan dance with the Islamist Nazi regime in Tehran. Our forces are in place. Nobody can match, nobody can match the military assets, the American military assets that are in the Middle East. The Islamist Nazi regime has no intention of abiding by any negotiated agreement. And this has gone on long enough.
Mark Levin
I've about had it with the isolationists.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
They remind me of the hippies of the 1960s. They remind me of the of the
Mark Levin
anti semites of the 1930s. They have their own father Coughlin in
Mark Levin (main host voice)
the form of Tucker Kitarlson. Mental midgets.
Mark Levin
Bigots
Mark Levin (main host voice)
with their own agendas. Getting rich of undermining my country. Our country, the United States of America.
Mark Levin
Stabbing the commander in chief in the back. Repeatedly smearing the United States armed forces.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
And making alliance with the enemy. I've had enough. We red blooded Americans don't believe in any of this.
Mark Levin
We're not talking about forever wars. We're not talking about interventionism. We're not talking about warmongering or anything else. We have an enemy. An enemy that has killed a thousand of our people, that has maimed thousands and thousands of our people. We have an enemy that wants to destroy our civilization. The entire western civilization. We have an Islamist Nazi enemy that wants to build nuclear weapons to blow us off the face the earth. There is no peace with an enemy like this. A genocidal mass murdering regime. And it is a betrayal of our children and our grandchildren to let this go on. To leave this enemy in place. When they build up enough technological might with the help of the communist Chinese, the fascistic Russians, the inbreds of North Korean God knows who else, where they have tens of thousands of intercontinental ballistic
Mark Levin (main host voice)
missiles
Mark Levin
with nuclear warheads. Now we hear biochemical warheads Enough is enough. They are weaker now than they've ever been. No, it doesn't mean they're weak, per se. But they are weaker now than they've ever been. Thanks to the Israeli military, thanks to the support of the Israeli military by the American military, they are reconstituting their nuclear program. They are never going to give it up because you, Mr. And Mrs. America, you're the target. You're the target. We know it because they say it. I never thought I'd live a day when a regime that tries to assassinate our president not once, but twice, still exists. We are reaching a point. We are reaching a point of absurdity. Any paper agreement with this enemy, like any paper agreement with Hitler in the Third Reich, is surrender. It is surrender, and you will have. And we will have. All of us have surrendered to a regime that has the intention of slaughtering our children and grandchildren. What will they say about us
Mark Levin (main host voice)
when
Mark Levin
they have to confront this enemy? You see how they slaughter babies and women and children. Life means nothing to them. Death means everything to them. There's no negotiation. There's no diplomacy. There's no envoy. There's no Secretary of State. There's no Secretary of Defense. There's no President of the United States that can persuade them otherwise.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
They're not going to go anywhere unless we send them to hell.
Mark Levin
Some of you may not think that
Mark Levin (main host voice)
this is our fight, and you're dead wrong.
Mark Levin
I understand the Jew haters who want you to believe that this is Israel's war. And to them I say, go to hell. Israel, their soldiers, their citizens have carried the weight of the world on their shoulders as they have fought this enemy, this enemy which surrounds it. They are doing us a favor. They are doing the West a favor. They are doing civilized human beings a favor. They defend their own people. Jew, Christian, Muslim, Arab. While Europe sits on its hands, We have people in our own country that we've allowed to come into our country that are trying to destroy us from within. They have devoured the Democrat Party. They've devoured most of the media. You see their spokesman with a variety of Arab names and Muslim names on tv, on the Internet, who throw in with the Marxists and the isolationists telling
Mark Levin (main host voice)
us, no war, no war. We haven't committed acts of war against Iran.
Mark Levin
They've committed acts of war against us. The regime is an illegitimate regime. It is a terrorist organization that has
Mark Levin (main host voice)
taken over a country.
Mark Levin
They don't care if they kill a thousand, ten thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, one million Iranians and do you think they give a damn if they fire a nuclear missile into the center of New York City or Los Angeles or Chicago or Washington or you name it, they don't. This is going to get worse. And even if we take out that regime, it's still going to get worse. Because the enemy is among us. The enemy is among us and they tell us they're the enemy. They tell us what they're going to
Mark Levin (main host voice)
do to us
Mark Levin
and the left, whether it's the teachers unions or the media or the Democrat Party faculty at our Ivy League schools, they give them aid and comfort. They align with them, the weak underbelly of the West.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Now it's time to speak up. It's time to be heard. Enough time has gone by, almost half a century.
Mark Levin
What are we waiting for? There is no perfect time. There is no perfect opportunity. But there are good times and good opportunities to use the advantage, our economic advantage, our military advantage, our intelligence advantage, our technological advantage, to smite this 7th century poison off the face of the
Mark Levin (main host voice)
earth before they do it to us. We don't seek war. We don't seek war. We've never sought war. The enemy lives. War, it lives. Terrorism, it's a death culture. There's a lot of voices in this country, some of them who speak broken English, some of them who speak perfect English, Who want us to surrender through inaction, through isolationism.
Mark Levin
They tell you they oppose war. The problem isn't that. The problem is the enemy does not oppose war. The problem is the enemy is constantly preparing for war. Communist China is a war machine. Putin doesn't care if he loses 10 million of his own people. And the Islamist Nazis, they actually live to die. We've danced long enough. We've prepared long enough. Time is no longer on our side. It is enabling the enemy, the enemy, the Islamist Nazis in Iran, to get cutting edge, sophisticated military technology capable of sinking our ships. From the Communist Chinese. If we continue to wait and wait and negotiate and negotiate, which is exactly what the enemy wants us to do, our advantage diminishes with each passing day.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
No American, no American wants to see American boys and girls and men and women die or be maimed on the battlefield. In this case, on our naval ships, in our jets and our bombers. But we're the only nation on the face of the earth that has the full capacity to put an end to this in defense of our children and grandchildren, in defense of our allies and friends. Look at the Iranian people. Have you ever seen a braver people?
Mark Levin
Have you ever seen a more courageous people? They are an example.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
And when we have people in our
Mark Levin
country who go overseas and meet with the President of Iran and read with the Emir of Qatar and go to Saudi Arabia that attacked us on nine, 11, these are traitors. These are traitors. I don't give a damn how many followers they have, how many pre pubescent followers they have, how many anti Semites follow them, how many Pakistani Muslims from overseas follow them as they grift their way. History will denounce them. History will treat them like the devil that they are. The time is now. The time is now to rally the
Mark Levin (main host voice)
American people to our cause.
Mark Levin
The cause of liberty and security.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
I'll be right back.
Mark Levin
You know, it used to be you
Mark Levin (main host voice)
kill over a thousand Americans, you pay the price.
Mark Levin
Used to be, you try to assassinate a President of the United States, you pay the price. It used to be you keep threatening the United States with nuclear weapons and ICBMs you pay a price. It used to be when you're the number one sponsor of terrorism, you and Qatar, you pay a price. Used to be that we didn't negotiate with terrorists, let alone a terrorist regime.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
I don't give a damn what they agree to. I don't give a damn what they say.
Mark Levin
They say one thing to us, to the west and our envoys, and another thing back home in Farsi, they're slaughtering their own people. Why?
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Why?
Mark Levin
Because their own people are just like you and me. And if they're going to do it to their own people, you better believe if they get a shot, they're going to do it to us. Enough is enough. The time is now. I'll be right back.
Mark Levin Show Announcer
Mark Levin, the George S. Patton of talk radio. Call him at 877-381-3811. That's 877-381-3811.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
George S. Patton. My favorite movie, Patton. I must have watched that movie 25 times since I was a kid, 13 years old. It came out in 1970. It's too bad. Every young person should be required to watch that movie. Well, they're not going to be required to watch that movie. But that opening speech that George C. Scott gave as George Patton is very important. We've tightened it up and I want to play it for you now because all you hear are the voices of appeasement and pacifism from the radical left, Marxists from the Islamists, from the neo fascist isolationists, all of whom want to see us defeated. All of whom want us to fail.
Mark Levin
Well, I do not. I want us to succeed.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
We need to remove the enemy from within.
Mark Levin
Remove the enemy from within? The war on ice needs to be won by ice. And when an enemy from outside attacks us, kills our people, over a thousand Americans, you better believe that we will use the power of the United States
Mark Levin (main host voice)
of America to put an end to it. George C. Scott is George S. Patton. Go.
George S. Patton (voice actor or clip)
I want you to remember that no bastard ever won war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war is a lot of horse down. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to America. Now, an army is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday Evening Post don't know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating. Now we have the finest food and equipment, the best spirit and the best men in the world. You know, my God, I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to shoot the bastards. We're going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy Hun bastards by the bushel. Now, some of you boys I know are wondering whether or not you'll chicken out under fire. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The Nazis are the enemy. Wade into them.
Mark Levin
Spill their blood.
George S. Patton (voice actor or clip)
Shoot them in the belly when you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face. You know what to do. Now, there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We're not holding anything. Let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding on anything except the enemy. We're going to hold on to him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose. There's one thing that you, man, will be able to say when you get back home, and you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now, and you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asked you, what did you do in the great World War II? You won't have to say,
Mark Levin (main host voice)
well,
George S. Patton (voice actor or clip)
I shoveled in Louisiana. All right, now, you sons of bitches, you know how I feel. I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle anytime, anywhere. That's all.
Mark Levin
The king of his terrible sweet soil.

Mark Levin (main host voice)
My God is marching on. I'll be right back. Patrick Henley. March 23, 1775. He'd go on to be the governor of Virginia. 1775. March. More than a year before the Declaration of Independence. Tell us, sir, that we are weak, unable to cope. Was so formidable an adversary. Remember, Britain was the most powerful army on the face of the earth. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be next week? Will it be next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?
Mark Levin
Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction?
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Shall we acquire the means of effectual
Mark Levin
resistance by lying supinely on our backs
Mark Levin (main host voice)
hugging the delusive phantom of hope until
Mark Levin
our enemies have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people armed in the holy cause of liberty and in such
Mark Levin (main host voice)
a country as that which we possess
Mark Levin
are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations and who will rise up, rise up and raise up, friends, to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
It is the vigilant, the active, the brave.
Mark Levin
Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire. Is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in Submission and slavery. Our chains are forged. Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston. The war is inevitable, and let it come. I repeat, sir, let it come. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry peace, peace. But there is no peace. The war has actually begun. The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding sirens. Our brethren are already in the field. Why stand where he. Why stand here? Idol. What is it that gentleman wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet? It is to be purchased at the price of change and slavery. Forbid it, Almighty God, I know not what course offers may take, but as
Mark Levin (main host voice)
for me, give me liberty or give me death. Patrick Henry. We're going to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of this nation. And let us remember what they said. Thomas Paine December 1776. George Washington and our regular troops and our militia, they'd suffered many battles and losses. Valley Forge, they had some militia leaving, some were dying of various diseases, got frostbite. It was a hellish, hellish winter. And Thomas Paine wrote in part,
Mark Levin
these
Mark Levin (main host voice)
are the times that try men's souls. The Summer soldier and the Sunshine Patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of their country. But he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. That text was so influential that General George Washington ordered it to be read aloud to his weary troops on December 23, 1776, just two days before their famous crossing of the Delaware river
Gordon Chang
and
Mark Levin (main host voice)
then the victory at the Battle of Trenton. That term Summer Soldier and the other term, Sunshine Patriot, refer to individuals who support a cause only when things are going well and abandoned it when faced with hardship or adversity. Paine argued that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. That's what he said, emphasizing that freedom has a price because of its immense value. What kind of world are we going to leave our children and grandchildren if this. If this genocidal mass murdering regime, this primitive regime, 7th century, acquires what it seeks to acquire. ICBMs to reach our country, tipped with nuclear warheads, chemical warheads, biological warheads. They will use it. They will use them. No paper agreement is going to stop them. Peace in our time is a disaster. It's a fig leaf. We do not seek war. We are not warmongers. But we seek to protect ourselves, self defense. We seek to protect our families and future generations the way past generations had to go to war to protect us. We needn't wait for nuclear missiles to rain down on our children and our grandchildren to do what needs to be done today.
Mark Levin
Enough dancing. Time is no longer on our side.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
As the enemy prepares. The time is right now. I'll be right back.

He's here.
Mark Levin Show Announcer
He's here now. Broadcasting from the underground command puzzle, 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.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Our number, 8773-813811-87733-813, 811. Welcome. President's State of the Union speech last night was, I think, the greatest State of the Union speech I've ever heard. And there have been some great ones by Reagan and so forth. And you know what really made the difference? The man. He's very charismatic and he talks like the rest of us. Really, really fantastic. And on these core principles that he has, quite conservative. You don't have to agree with everything. It doesn't matter. Now, on this issue of Iran, the president seemed to be really focusing in like a laser here. He said this.
Mark Levin
Cut 11.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Go.
President Joe Biden (clip)
Just over the last couple of months with the protests, they've killed, at least it looks like, 32,000 protests. 32,000 protesters in their own country. They shot them and hung them. We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious violence. But this is some terrible people. They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas. And they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer. They were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, in particular, nuclear weapons. Yet they continue starting it all over. We wiped it out. And they want to start all over again. And at this moment, again pursuing their sinister ambitions. We are in negotiations with them. They want to make a deal, but we haven't heard those secret words. We will never have a nuclear weapon.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Cut 12. Go.
President Joe Biden (clip)
My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. But one thing is certain. I will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen. And no nation should ever doubt America's resolve We have the most powerful military on earth. I rebuilt the military in my first term. We're going to continue to do so. Also, we just approved a trillion dollar budget. We have no choice. We have to be strong because hopefully we will seldom have to use this great power that we built together. It's really called peace through strength. And it's been very, very effective.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
The President hit on a lot of very core, important subjects for the American people, immigration certainly being one of them. And he really did something that was very important, wasn't a gimmick, it was very important. And that was about, do you stand with the citizens or do you stand for the illegal aliens? Which do you stand for? And the Democrats sat on their hands. Sat on their hands. Cut 13. Mr. Producer, go.
President Joe Biden (clip)
If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
And they're sitting on their hands. The Democrats. This is how they view American citizens. I want you to remember this. In the midterm elections, every Democrat sat on their hands. Every single Democrat in the House and the Senate, not one stood up for the American citizen. This went on for two minutes. This is a big distinction between the two parties. America. I can't believe hardworking Democrats, Democrats who served in the military, Democrats or firefighters and police don't believe that the number one job of our government is to protect the American citizen. Citizen. Now, I could cut off the clapping like most hosts would, but I'm not going to.
President Joe Biden (clip)
Isn't that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself. Not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
By the way, stop. The person yelling is Omar and Talib. They're sitting right next to each other yelling at the President who's defending American citizens. And not a single Democrat stood up. Not one. I want to play for you, President Trump and Bill Clinton, they weren't together, but I want to play for you some of what you heard with Donald Trump. And then I want to play for you, Bill Clinton in 1995 and how far the Democrat Party has sunk in 30 years. 30 years. It used to be the party for only legal immigration. They aggressively deported illegal aliens. They helped secure the border. Not anymore. Not anymore. Take a listen. Cut 21. Go.
President Joe Biden (clip)
If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
Bill Clinton (clip)
Not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more. By hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes. To better identify illegal aliens in the workplace, as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years. And we must do more to stop it.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
During that State of the Union, Republicans and Democrats got to their feet, out of their chairs, out of their seats, and applauded Bill Clinton. This used to be bipartisan. It's clearly not anymore. As the Democrat Party has sought to change the population in America, they've also changed the nature of the Democrat Party. If you're an American citizen, you need to really think about what you just heard and what you saw last night. The Democrats do not believe that the first responsibility of government is to protect the American citizen. Ladies and gentlemen, the only reason, the only reason, as John Locke would explain, that we have voluntarily joined into this government is so it represents us, Mr. And Mrs. America, the American citizen. If the politicians don't serve us, the American citizen, then who the hell do they serve? I'll be right back. You know what Pure Talk's favorite holiday is? Presidents Day.

Mark Levin (main host voice)
So Chuck Schumer was on the Morning Joe show, which is where he's always welcome. He's a tedious and boring man, is he not? A tedious and boring man. I remember when we had great leadership in both parties. I would argue Mike Johnson's doing a great job. Thune's doing a great job. They have small majorities. They're trying to carry forward the president's agenda. Johnson has to be a psychiatrist on top of everything else to deal with some of the whack jobs he has there and Thunas to deal with the filibusters. So it's not easy. But let's go to Schumer here on the morning schmo. Cut one, go.
Chuck Schumer
Well, we had a good model in 2013, as you may remember. Bipartisan. John McCain and I headed the Gang of Eight. We had four Democrats, four Republicans, including Marco Rubio, who's.
Mark Levin
Yes, they had the Gang of Eight,
Mark Levin (main host voice)
which you and I stopped. Remember, no other show. We stopped it, you and I. We flooded the phones because it was a disaster. And I think later Marco Rubio realized it. The 2013 bill. They always go back. We had the 2013 bill or we should pass Bipartisan bill, ladies and gentlemen, our laws are perfectly fine. They will not uphold them
Mark Levin
if you
Mark Levin (main host voice)
reviewed them yourselves, as I have. I'm no immigration expert, but I feel like I've become one in some respects. My wife is, among other things, smart as hell. There's a lot of reasons to deport people, including the fact that they came here illegally. That's the number one reason. The Democrats don't want to do that. They want it limited to people who have committed additional crimes.
Mark Levin
If that.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
If that. So we don't need a immigration reform bill that's 13 years old and dusted off. The problem here, you know, there's a word out there, a word out there that's as old as Socrates, a word
Mark Levin
out there that Aristotle wrote about a lot.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
The Athenians.
Mark Levin
A word out there that Cicero wrote
Mark Levin (main host voice)
a lot about the Romans. A word out there that your founding
Mark Levin
fathers talked about and wrote about a lot.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
All the founding fathers whose names you know, spoke about virtue. Virtue you can write whatever law you want. It's the same thing with a deal with the Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran. There is no virtue if you have no Virtue. The paper means nothing. The laws mean nothing. The rules mean nothing. And for Schumer and the Democrats, the
Mark Levin
rules and the law mean nothing.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
It's a tool to try and destroy
Mark Levin
your opponents like they spent years trying to destroy Donald Trump.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Years.
Mark Levin
But they throw it out there.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
We just went back to the bipartisan bill in 2013. They would have violated that, too.
Mark Levin
It's never enough.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
It's revolution by immigration and by that, I mean the Democrat Party wants power, and a lot of it cut to Mr. Producer. Go. So you didn't stand Trump.
Gordon Chang
Yeah.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Well, just.
Chuck Schumer
Is it what should be asked? Bottom line is very simple. We agree. We need to protect Americans. He's not. By his reckless ICE Agency administration. Two Americans were killed. Americans.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Listen to this mumbling buffoon. Go ahead.
Chuck Schumer
Beaten Americans. Houses, the doors are being knocked down, you know, without a warrant and no name.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Name all the people whose doors are being knocked down. American houses, as he puts it, without a warrant. Go ahead. Go ahead.
Chuck Schumer
In America run by Americans has. Has done what ICE has done. So, yes, we want to protect Americans.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Okay, that's enough. By the way, I didn't mean to put it that way to you, Rich. I meant him. Go ahead. So another phony and a fraud guy has no virtue whatsoever. None. He's on CNN today about voter ID cut four. Go look.
Chuck Schumer
Democrats support voter ID, and many states do, but that's not what the SAVE act does.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
We have about 11 Democrats states that have no verification of citizenship whatsoever, including his state of New York. Go ahead.
Chuck Schumer
Tens of millions Americans from the voting lists, and they won't even know they're purged till they show up at the polling place.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Where is he getting this from? They want the polling, the voting lists cleaned, which is a matter of federal law right now to get TED people off, people who have moved and so forth and so on. And states are supposed to do this already?
Mark Levin
Everything to have a clean election.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
They oppose.
Mark Levin
Why?
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Because Trump is right.
Mark Levin
Because they cheat and they lie.

Where patriotism reigns right here on this program, ladies and gentlemen. Would you tell me, Mr. Producer. Oh, yes. Oh yes. We're going to post my statement at the beginning of hour one.

So just to give you a little background, you may be interested in this. I get up at 6 in the morning. Two of my dear friends who are also a executive producer and producer, they join me and I do my research, my thinking and everything else. And we, we Prepare it at 8 or 9 o' clock and we get it up by noon Eastern time. And I want to encourage you to check it out. They're real history lessons and philosophy lessons and I tie them into modern times, things that you and your family should have been taught a long time ago, but you haven't been. So as long as you watch, I will do it. If the numbers don't add up, we're not going to do it because I put in and they put in an extra four to five hours a day. Mr. Producer, it's a lot. It's a lot. So Rumble, you can follow us there on Liberty's voice on YouTube, you can follow us there, subscribe there. Remember, the program's Liberty's Voice and at Mark Levin show Rumble, you want to get technical. I don't want to throw all this at you. Just go to Rumble.

I hope you'll check them out. Democrats do not favor voter ID when they're in the majority. They never promote it, they never pass it. They have the House, the Senate, the presidency. Of course they don't support voter id. Of course they don't favor cleaned up voter rolls. Of course they favor illegal immigration and birthright citizenship. Of course they oppose deportation and trash ICE and want to control ice. They don't want to reform ice. And so they create these hateful scenarios of these great brave heroes. They get paid so little. They're stormtroopers, they're the ss. They're killing American citizens. They're breaking down doors without warrants. They want you to think it's Nazi Germany when it clearly is not. It's really horrendous. Yep. I want you to hear this guy, Jeff Merkley. Most of you never heard him. They know who he is in Oregon. He's a. He's a disgusting left wing senator. I want you to listen to this fool. Cut 5 go.
Mark Levin
When an authoritarian proceeds to try to destroy a democratic republic and turn it into a strongman state, you need a high level of citizen protest and resistance. Otherwise, people think it's just acceptable and normal. And the next election really matters. Because if the president succeeds in rigging the next election, which he's trying to do, then.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
All right, hold on, hold on. So. So they're accusing the president of trying to rig the election. How? Because he wants voter id. He wants clean voters lists. How is the president rigging or wanting to rig an election? These are sick people. Ladies and gentlemen, go ahead, please.
Mark Levin
Strongman state and everything that we've honored and fought for for 200 years.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
All right, dumbass, shut up. You haven't honored or fought for anything for 200 years. Authoritarian, huh? What they did to our justice system in the pursuit of Trump. You ready for a breaking story? Ladies and gentlemen, this story just broke about 15 minutes ago. Susie Wiles phone records during federal Trump investigations. Actually, a little earlier, but the FBI subpoenaed Cash Patel and Suzy Weil's phone records in 2022 and 2023, when both were private citizens, writes Fox, as part of a federal probe into then Former President Donald Trump. Fox News has confirmed. All right, so they're going after Trump and then they go after Patel and they go after Susie Wiles. Patel is the current FBI director, obviously. Wiles is the White House chief of staff. At least 10 FBI employees were fired Wednesday. Good. Fire their asses. Fox News has been told names were not given due to privacy reasons. Reuters first disclosed the subpoenas, which were issued during the Biden regime while special counsel Jack Smith was investigating Trump's efforts, quote, unquote, to overturn the 2020 election. They shouldn't be writing this. They know better than this. We've had challenges to the two elections as long as we've had elections, ladies and gentlemen, to overturn the 2020 election. The president wasn't trying to overturn the 2020 election. He was challenging the vote count. Smith ended up charging Trump in 2023 with multiple felony offenses related to alleged efforts to challenge the results. The hell wrote this of the 2020 election and Trump's handling of the documents after he left. The federal judge later dismissed the election interference case. That would be the great Judge Cannon. President had great lawyers. They also had great support through friend of the court briefs filed by Landmark Legal Foundation. I'm so proud of them. They spent a good chunk of my life there. And the number one expert in the world on the appointments Clause. And also a brief file by really a brilliant man, a professor, I believe, at Northwestern Law School, but he was a colleague of mine when I worked at the Department of Justice, Steven Calabresi. And he and another professor wrote the brief and argued it as well that Jack Smith was an unconstitutional appointment. Now, we had a lot of firepower, so you're the smartest and the number one guy in the world who was working for us. You had one of the smartest people I've ever known, Professor Calabresi, who was challenging it. And then you had the president's lawyers who were challenging. Really wasn't not a hard case. But she had to be brave. Did the judge. Because you know how the coyotes, the howling coyotes are in the media and the Democrat Party. In a statement to Fox News Wednesday, Patel called the move to seize the phone records outrageous and deeply alarming.
Mark Levin
You see, ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats
Mark Levin (main host voice)
like to talk about authoritarianism and fascism and dictatorships, but they're projecting because that's what their party is. That's what their party has always been. Slavery, segregation, eugenics, Jim Crow. I love it when the Democrats are talking about Jim Crow. They're pointing a finger at themselves. They're so sleazy.
Mark Levin
It is outrageous and deeply alarming that
Mark Levin (main host voice)
the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records along with those of now White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, using flimsy pretexts and bearing the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight, he said. Now, you won't hear a single Democrat criticize that. Instead, they'll talk about ICE is knocking down doors and doing when they're not. The FBI had found the phone records in the files labeled prohibited, Reuters reported. Patel also said he recently ended the FBI's ability to categorize files as prohibited. Fox News also learned from two FBI officials that in 2023, FBI agents recorded a phone call between Wiles and her attorney. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you do that with the mafia or a turret. You don't do that with somebody like this. So they recorded a phone call between Susie Wiles and her attorney. Susie Wiles wasn't aware of that. Now, what else do we know? This same Department of Justice, under this same director of the FBI, did what? Subpoenaed the phone records of members of Congress, all Republicans, at the direction of Jack Smith. At the direction of Jack Smith. So they went after the phone records of members of Congress, none of whom committed a crime.
Mark Levin
They went after the phone records of Kash Patel
Mark Levin (main host voice)
and Susie Wiles, and taped or listened into a discussion between her and her attorney. Now, her attorney may have known about it, but she didn't. And that's the issue. The rights belong to her.
Mark Levin
They sent a SWAT team to President
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Trump's home in Mar a Lago. Remember all that?
Mark Levin
And these bastards have the nerve to talk about authoritarianism. Authoritarianism.

Let me show you how the media work. Let me show you how the media work, assuming I can get back what I was trying to do. There it is. And that how one group of people are held up high on a pedestal and another group of people are spat upon. The former Islamists. I'm not even talking about Muslims, Islamists and the latter Jews. By the media. NBC Trump says Muslim lawmakers should be sent back from where they came after the State of the Union clash. President Trump said today that Democratic representatives Ilion Omar, Minnesota, Rashida Taliba, Michigan should be sent back from where they came after they shouted at him during the State of the Union address. Trump called the congresswomen low iq, which they are true social, said they should be institutionalized, describing them as having bulging bloodshot eyes of crazy people, lunatics, mentally deranged and sick. Now, what's the one thing Trump did not say about them, Mr. Producer? That they're Muslims. He didn't say send them back because they're Muslims. It's not what he said. He could have. He could say send them back because they're Islamists, which they are. Omar should be, if she's naturalized legitimately and there's serious questions about that, she should be denaturalized and deported. I have no problem with that. But it's funny. NBC News with the massive hate crimes against Jews, often by those in the
Mark Levin
river to the sea crowd. It's too bad you don't focus too
Mark Levin (main host voice)
much attention on them. But you hate the president so much. You hate the country so much.
Mark Levin
You're so in the bag for the Democrats.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
This is how you report a story. Now, just to be factual, he didn't
Mark Levin
say send them back because they're Muslims. It's because they were screaming at him in the middle of his speech. That's why.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
But Omar and Talib are well known bigots and racists.
Mark Levin
Well known.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Omar the other day trashing white people. That's okay. You see, media don't mind that. That's fine. Democrat Party don't mind that. That's perfectly fine. You shouldn't be trashing anybody because of the color of their skin, period.
Mark Levin
You hear me taking on the Islamist.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
You never hear me talking about race ever.
Mark Levin
I talk about the ideology. I talk about what they talk about what they say, But the title.

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.

doubt it.
President Joe Biden (clip)
Pass the Stop Insider Trading act without delay.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Was that hilarious or what? Because of all her genius and her husband's genius investments that just so many of them seem to time perfectly with legislative action. Well, she was on CNN yesterday, the Constipated News Network. I don't even know why that exists anymore. They have literally no race. What did she have to say? Cut eight. Go.
Critic or commentator (unknown)
I thought the speech was lazy. You know, it's one thing to acknowledge patriotism and people getting well and everything. When you have absolutely nothing to do with their courage or the rest.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Let's. Let's stop. First of all, you're a mumbling buffoon. You know, Reagan started that pointing out people in the audience. And the plane went down in the Potomac River. You might remember that horrible winter. So many people died. They've never been recovered. And I wish I remembered the young man's name. And he jumped into the Potomac river when it was below freezing to rescue a woman who was sinking. And was that a lazy speech, too? Just sick. Ladies and gentlemen, I have to be honest with you. That's one of the greatest speeches I've ever. I've ever heard. And when it was over, I wanted to hear more, a lot more. And he was just getting started. He's so comfortable in his own skin. He's comfortable being President of the United States. He loves this country so much. He knows he's right. And he's hated. He's hated. There are a lot of jealous people in the Republican Party and just a lot of evil people in the Democrat Party. Go ahead.
Critic or commentator (unknown)
An hour and a half doing it. What is the state of the nation? Okay, so I just. A few things. I was going to call her by first name, Governor Spanberg. I thought she just really, just really hit it out of the park.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
But here she hit it out of the park. She missed her place. She lied to the voters. She only gets one term anyway, so she doesn't give a damn. She moved hard left. She wants to run for president. And of course, Pelosi thought she hit it out of the park. She didn't hit it out of the park. She hit herself in the head with the bat. Go ahead.
Critic or commentator (unknown)
He started off with bbb, his big beautiful bill, which is, of course disgusting and ugly.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Of course it's disgusting and ugly. Look in the mirror. May I say that? I think I will. But she is angry because he just. He topped them all. He was unbelievable. So all you folks who are not going to be paying taxes on many of your tips, not a single Democrat voted for that. Many of you seniors who are going to have bigger, you know, Social Security checks because you won't pay as much taxes on them, the Democrats, every one of them voted against that. Those of you working overtime and also you're going to be able to save more of your money and not pay taxes on all of it, they voted against that. Those of you who need to stay home for a loved one, maybe they have Alzheimer's or there's some other ailment you're going to get tax deductions. Those of you with children to get a bigger child tax credits. The Democrats voted for every single thing in there. All of it. And yet they praise Mondame wants to massively increase property taxes in New York. They praised the Stamberger. They had her give the speech. And they're raising or Putting in new 52 taxes. Either raising them or putting in new taxes. 52 of them. 52. Does your kid walk a dog? It's taxable now. I mean, think about this. Dog grooming. Taxable. Everything's taxable. State tax. She doesn't give a damn. She's a lame schmuck right from the get go again. You get one term in Virginia, that's it. She should have gotten no terms. But she's a liar. She's a psychopath. Oh, yes, remember Joy Reid. I know it. You don't want to really remember her, but she's a clown in my view. A bigot. My view. And there's certainly plenty of evidence to that if I ever need to compile it. You know, I've always told these clowns, you sue me, I'm going to countersue you. I'm not going to settle. I'm going to conduct unbelievable discovery. I'm going to get your texts, I'm going to get your phone calls. I'm going to get everything. Everything. When it comes to the practice of law, I am a bulldog who knows what the hell he's doing. And I'm not kidding. I've told that to care over the years. Go ahead, Go ahead. Let's do this.
Mark Levin
And then we have this montage.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Excuse me, I wanted to do that. Is Joy Reid montage. Senate Democrats and Joy Reid at the counter State of the Union yesterday. Who does counter state to the Union? I mean, this has gotten so out of control. They say almost half of the Democrats didn't show up. And of course, then you have two of them who wouldn't behave themselves. And NBC says it's the two Muslims they want you to know.
Mark Levin
The two Muslims. The two Muslims. The two Muslims.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Trump never said anything about Muslims,
Mark Levin
but NBC did.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Must be racist. Islamophobic. Anyway. Cut nine, go. All the lies that he will tell

Mark Levin (main host voice)
He's a foil is what he is. He doesn't even know it. That was a boring speech. Really. Not to most of us. Genius. I told you, you got the hands going. I was the first one to tell the hands.
Mark Levin

I'm putting out a lot there for you today, America. Each and every one of you. Encourage you to take advantage of it. First of all, this radio program is live, as you know. And we're putting out the part of what I said in the first hour. My speech. The time is now. And I want to strongly encourage you to check out our brand new video podcast at Rumble Rumble. The Mark Levin show or Liberty's Voice is the name of it. It's easy to find. We link to it right there on all my social sites or YouTube. You can subscribe, but either way you can view it on rumble or YouTube. Liberty's voice. I know you're going to like it. It's the kind of thing when people come up to me at book signings or at diners or whatever, they say we want more history, we want more philosophy. We like when you tell us about this founder or that founder. And that's what I'm doing. But a step further, I'm tying it into what's going on today. Certain activities, events, certain individuals. And we really are trying to change the trajectory of podcasting from Jew hating, Christian hating, America hating, Islamists promoting and all that stuff. In other words, to make it normal for real Americans like you. So that's Liberty's voice on rumble and on YouTube. I hope you'll take a view and check it out. And Mark's speech. The time is now up on all of our platforms. The time is now to strike Iran. Enough of this dance, it's getting absurd. It is. And time is not on our side because the enemy is now getting stuff from the communist Chinese that can very severely damage our ships. So I think that it is not prudent at this point to be waiting any longer. So check that out. We have our buddy here, Gordon Chang of the Gatestone Institute senior fellow, one of my favorite organizations, by the way. They put out great stuff because of people like Gordon. And Gordon is uniquely qualified to talk about this. Communist China is providing some of these advanced weapons to Iran. And Gordon has been posting that we
Mark Levin
got to take that regime out.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Right? Gordon, how are you?
Gordon Chang
I'm fine, Mark. And you're absolutely right. What we're seeing is China is supplying hypersonic anti ship cruise missiles. And that's important because we have a large portion of our fleet in waters off Iran, including two aircraft carriers, the Gerald Ford and the Abraham Lincoln. But China has also been supplying advanced radars and probably integrated command systems as well, as well as some anti air missiles. So there's a whole range of Chinese weaponry that the Iranians now have or will soon have and especially those hypersonic missiles.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
So the longer we wait, to me, the more damage, the potential damage to our forces.
Gordon Chang
No, absolutely. These hypersonic cruise missiles haven't been used in war and we don't know if they work. We also don't know if our defenses work. So if we're going to strike Iran, and I believe we absolutely have to, to take out the regime, we need to do it before China is able to put those hypersonic missiles in place. Because we could lose an aircraft carrier, we could lose two aircraft carriers, and the damage could be grave.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
And it's important to understand that China wants us to lose. They want to destroy our carriers, and they're doing it through Iran. Isn't that another reason to take out Iran before it has 20,000 ballistic missiles and ICBM say can hit the United States? They're testing them now. And nuclear warheads, chemical warheads, biological warheads, which they're working on, yes.
Gordon Chang
I mean, Iran has a nuclear weapons program only because of China. China supplied the enrichment technology through the Pakistan's AQ con network. Also, China has been supplying materials necessary for nukes directly to Iran. And this has been going on for quite some time. And a number of American presidents, going back to George W. Bush have actually allowed this to continue. Actually, I should say back through Clinton have allowed this to continue. So Iran is dangerous, but Iran is dangerous because China has made it so. And by the way, of course, Russia would not be fighting in Ukraine today were it not for the all in Chinese support.
President Joe Biden (clip)
Mm.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Now, let me ask you this question. If we're just showing biceps, walking around without our shirts toughening, showing we're tough. We have like 35% of our Navy there, all this, you know, the Air Force is there, best jets are there, Our bombers are not too far away, and on and on and on. And we signed some Obama Light agreement. Well, we promise do the Islamo Nazis. We promise we won't go above 3.67% and we won't do this and we won't do that. Why is that absurd?
Gordon Chang
It's absurd because we know that the Iranians have violated every single agreement they signed, including the 2015 JCPOA, the Iran Nuke deal that Obama put in place. And President Trump, to his great credit in his first term, said, look, I'm not going to stand with a deal which the Iranians have violated. They violated the deal by preventing inspections, for instance. And we know that the Israelis, through their raid on the Parchin facility, took out some material that indicated further violations on the part of Tehran. They violate every single commitment that they make, Mark. So when are we going to wise up?
Mark Levin (main host voice)
But isn't that what terrorists do and isn't that what Islamists do as a matter of religious edict? I mean. I mean, it's all right in front of us, isn't it?
Gordon Chang
It's all right in front of us. And it's also the Chinese who violate all of their agreements as well. So we've got basically Iran as a proxy for China. Iran would not have been able to strike Israel on October 7, 2023, were it not for the Chinese support. And we also know that Iran's three main proxies, Hamas, Houthi militias, and Hezbollah, they all had large quantities of Chinese weapons. So this is a very thick relationship among Iran, China and those three terrorist groups.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Isn't China also providing them? I think it's with the fuel for this massive effort to build a massive number of ballistic missiles.
Gordon Chang
Yes, they're supplying a particular one of the components that is absolutely necessary for ballistic missile fuel. And China has been quite open about it. So we know that the defiance is there. And unless we do something about it, the Chinese will continue to supply all sorts of material, not only for their ballistic missiles, but for their nuclear weapons and as we just discussed, for their conventional armory.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
While we're on this Communist China, is there any new news about, you know, Xi taking out his number one general and so forth? It seems to me that maybe there was a coup effort, but it has gotten absolutely nowhere.
Gordon Chang
Yeah, there's very little news. And the reason is that China is just emerging from its basically week long, but it's actually longer than that Spring festival. So very little happens in China during festival.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
The hell is that?
Gordon Chang
It's what we call Lunar New Year, what the Chinese call Chinese New Year. But it is a time when China basically, for a week, maybe two weeks, just goes completely dark. And so there hasn't been much news, but there have been a lot of rumors that have been circulating around China recently. And one of them is after taking out that number one general Zhang Yao Shao, with that investigation that was announced on January 24, there are now rumors, and they're just not rumors. What means they haven't been confirmed that General Zhang is no longer in the land of the living.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Really?
Gordon Chang
There's been all sorts of rumors. There have been all sorts of rumors, Mark, over the last month about senior officials, both civilian and military, being executed. We don't know the truth of them, but we know that something is up. Because when these rumors circulate, it means people are trying to destroy, stabilize Xi Jinping's regime.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
All right, I want to pursue this if you'll stick with us after the break here, our friend Gordon Chang with the wonderful Gatestone Institute. He's a senior fellow there. We'll be right back. Mark Levin, America's passionately cerebral voice. Talk with that voice now. 877-381-3811. We're here with Gordon Chang of the Gatestone Institute. I want to pursue this a little bit more with you, Gordon. The. I mean, he's taken out a lot of generals. She has. And he's gone beyond that. He's gone deeper than that. And he does it under this notion of corruption and, you know, and people being traitors. And he does this, what, to send messages, among other things, that he's untouchable, that he's all powerful.
Gordon Chang
That's the message that he wants people to understand, but it's actually not the message that I take away. You know, as I mentioned, he got rid of two generals. It was announced on January 24, and people said, well, Xi Jinping is now in absolute control of the military because he got rid of the most powerful person in the military. But that's not what I see. Xi Jinping, for more than a decade, has been removing flag officers, generals, and admirals. Now, if he were in control of the military, why would he have to continue to get rid of people? I mean, he's gotten rid of people that he's put in place. And I think it's because the military has now made it very clear to Xi Jinping that they have a mind of their own. And Xi Jinping is absolutely determined to get them to submit. But when you have all this turmoil, it means he does not control the military.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
So how does this play out?
Gordon Chang
First of all, in the very short term, it means China is far less dangerous. And the reason is that on the central military commission of the Communist Party, which controls the military, there used to be seven people. Now there are only two. There's Xi Jinping himself, who's not a military officer, and there's a general who is a political commissar. In other words, he's not a war fighter. And that's it. And this means that the chain of command has been severed for the first time in the history of the People's Republic. And you can't launch an invasion with a severed chain of command. But in the near and. But in the intermediate term, Mark, this makes China extremely dangerous because Xi Jinping is now getting rid of all people he doesn't like. He's finding compliant officers. And these compliant officers will go out and invade Taiwan if he tells them to do that. The general that he removed on January 24 was telling him, do not invade Taiwan. China is not ready. So I'm afraid that Xi Jinping is now getting to the point where he's elevating people who owe everything to him. And I'm afraid that they might actually do what he wants them to do, which would be to start World War three.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
All right, well, let me see if I understand this. But if he starts World War 3, you're saying they're incapacitated to some extent because of the chain of command and the experience level, right?
Gordon Chang
That's right. There are no war fighters who are left. And we don't know the quality of the officers that he will promote. Now, hopefully the officers he promotes will resist this, but
Mark Levin (main host voice)
they don't want to die.
Gordon Chang
They don't want to die. One other thing, and that is it's not just a question of Xi Jinping waking up some morning and saying we're invading Taiwan. It's Xi Jinping blundering into war. And that can happen at any moment because he is provoking Japan and the Philippines and Taiwan and others. And if one of those incidents goes bad, I don't think that he'll be able to control it. He can't act constructively, he can't de escalate, which means that China could get itself into a war and if it's not prepared, it could be a disaster. And if it's a disaster for China, he will be tempted to use his nuclear weapons, which means we could have the world's first nuclear exchange over a. Basically a blunder.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
And he seems to really be going at it with Japan. And there, Prime Minister, a woman who seems to be very strong, seems to be resisting that. Is Japan building up its military?
Gordon Chang
It is. It's building it up slowly. But Sanae Takeichi is standing up to China. She cut Xi Jinping down to size because on November 7, she gave an answer on the floor of the Diet that angered China. But instead of backing down like most Western leaders would do, she stood her ground. And because she stood her ground, her party, which was ailing, it's a Liberal Democratic Party which was ailing when she became prime minister in October, she won the historic landslide on the 8th of this month. And the LDP, the Liberal Democratic Party, her party now has a majority that has never been seen in post war Japan. So she showed everybody that the path to electoral success is defying China. And that's a lesson that the guy in the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue northwest in the city of Washington D.C. that's a lesson he might want to take home.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Which country in that region, in its neighborhood there, does it fear the most? China? Is it Japan? Australia? What is it?
Gordon Chang
I think it probably is Japan because Japan has a Martial tradition. It was very capable in World War II. Since then, it's become a pacifist. But the other thing is that China, by continually provoking it, has now gotten Japan to the point where it is rearming and the Japanese can fight.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
We know that about the South Koreans.
Gordon Chang
The south Korean president, E.J. mung, he's bad. He's. He's. Yeah, he's really bad.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
He.
Gordon Chang
His public statements have shown that he really abhors the United States. Many people say, well, he's just saying that because he's a political opportunist. And that very well may be true. But around him, he has appointed hardcore Communist, hardcore North Koreans, pro China elements. And at the same time, he has been destroying democratic institutions at a terrifying pace. So I don't know if we can call South Korea democracy anymore. And even if it is a democracy, and I don't think it is, but even if it were, and I might be wrong, but even if South Korea is still a democracy, it's certainly not going to be one by the end of this year. He's going after the judiciary. He's going after free speech. He's taking down the churches. This is a full assault on the democratic institutions in society. And he may end up just being a dictator, but he could also end up being a totalitarian leader. We don't know where this ends, Mark.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Which is amazing since the prior president, I think it is, they just put in jail for life. Right?
Gordon Chang
Right. Yoon Suk Yeol was charged and convicted of insurrection, which was a travesty of justice. Because whatever one thinks about Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law In December of 2024, it was not an insurrection.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
What was
Gordon Chang
was what happened is that he declared martial law because Yi Jae Meng, who is now President, paralyzed the government with something like. Like 30, 36 impeachment motions which prevented any sort of governance in South Korea. So Yoon Sukyo declared martial law. It lasted for about six hours. Because when the national assembly, which is the unicameral legislature in South Korea, it voted to rescind martial law, and Yun Suk Yeol complied. Now, martial law is a power that is specifically granted to the President of South Korea. So it can't be an insurrection. And you know, one might say it was a stupid political move, but it was not a crime.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
In jail for life. So this guy is a jail for
Gordon Chang
life, this new guy?
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Gordon Chang
This new guy, is he. He is governing like very pro China, very pro communist president.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
We don't know how would the people elect him? They know better than that.
Gordon Chang
That's a great question. The South Korean electorate is split 5050 and Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law was unpopular. And what's happened in South Korea is that you see a pattern of conservative president followed by a quote unquote progressive president followed by a conservative president followed by a progressive president. So this was going to happen anyway. Just the nature of South Korean politics. But because of the specific, because of the problems after the martial law declaration, the group of leftists came in and they're much more relentless than previous leftist presidents.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
And they want to make sure that that cycle stops and that they have somewhat of a permanent control over that government. Well, that's very interesting, Gordon Chang. And worse than interesting, it's worrisome. Gordon Chang, I want to thank you so much and appreciate all your input. God bless you, my friend.
Gordon Chang
God bless you, Mark. And thank you so much for defending our country.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
It's my honor. Likewise. You take care of yourselves. Good man. Good man, that Gordon Chang. We'll be right back.

The last time we spoke, that was a long time ago. Since then, my life was completely upside down. Tommy Robinson, what he's warning about what happens to United States is more right than you can think of because I, as a Jew, I was in the protest about a year ago and I was arrested for false accusations and they completely shushed me down.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for your call. I'm sorry, folks, I don't know what's going on there. Eli, I'm very sorry, but it's not on topic. We got to keep rolling. Roy. Lafayette, Oregon XM satellite, go ahead.

Wow. Thank you.
Caller
And every day for three hours I sit and listen, usually eat dinner. You are the voice of truth. And I called earlier and brought up the fact that we live in a day and an age where today's. I don't know which generation it is beginning with. They don't know hardship and all they do is get their information off of their cell phones and they don't get information enough from people like you.
Mark Levin (main host voice)
Well, you're very kind. Or they listen to these very evil and devious podcasters. And because they haven't been taught history and ethics and morality in school and elsewhere, these certain podcasters take great advantage of our youth or try to. I want to thank you so much. That was very, very kind of you. Very kind call. I appreciate it. Eli. I'm sorry you just weren't on topic, my friend. I had to move. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, the men and women in Ukraine, the men and women in. In Iran, men and women in Israel.

Episode Title: Time's Up: The Urgency to Confront Our Enemies
Release Date: February 26, 2026
Host: Mark Levin
Main Guest: Gordon Chang
Podcast Network: Cumulus Podcast Network
In this charged and impassioned episode, Mark Levin argues for a decisive U.S. stance against Iran and its global enablers, notably China and Russia. The conversation blends critiques of American isolationism, analysis of current U.S. foreign policy (highlighting the latest State of the Union address), concerns over internal subversion, and deep dives into the growing threats from authoritarian regimes abroad. Levin draws on history, foundational American texts, and military rhetoric to underscore the urgency of action, featuring an extended interview with China expert Gordon Chang.
History Lessons: Extended quotations from Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine are used to emphasize vigilance and resistance.
Military Rhetoric: The iconic speech from “Patton” is played as a rallying call.
Accusations of Hypocrisy: Repeated claims that Democrats oppose basic protocols (voter ID, border security) and create a culture of lawlessness.
Media Bias: Levin accuses major news outlets (e.g., NBC) of twisting words, misrepresenting Trump, and downplaying antisemitism.
China's Military Support to Iran: Chang details China's delivery of advanced weapons to Iran—including hypersonic missiles—and underscores how this endangers U.S. naval assets in the region.
Origins of Iran’s Nuclear Program:
China-Iran Proxy Relationship: Chang traces how Iran enables terror groups (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi militias) through Chinese weapons.

Patton (film clip):
Levin opens with a sharp attack on perceived appeasement towards Iran, warning of dire consequences if the U.S. doesn’t act quickly, and lambasts isolationist and anti-war voices as modern-day traitors. Through allusion to history, military heroism, and the lessons of World War II, he frames the current confrontation as a battle for civilization itself and draws clear parallels to past moments of moral clarity.
Analyzing the State of the Union, he praises tough rhetoric but expresses skepticism of diplomacy's efficacy with Tehran. Immigration and border security are woven in as extensions of his central theme: national survival and sovereignty. The interview with Gordon Chang builds on this by showing how China’s support for Iran threatens the military balance and multiplies global risks.
The episode concludes with warnings of domestic threats—media bias, Democratic hypocrisy, prosecutorial overreach—and an urgent call to “rally the American people to our cause” for liberty, invoking the nation’s founding principles.
Levin’s tone is combative, urgent, and unapologetically patriotic—he demands action, not negotiation, on existential foreign threats and paints domestic debates in stark, moral terms.
For listeners: If you want a comprehensive, opinionated case for confrontation with Iran, clear ties to historical precedent, and a deep suspicion of both adversary regimes and the American left, this episode lays out the arguments in rich detail—bringing in historical memory, policy specifics, and expert testimony.
