Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Joe Kent Crisis: Espionage, Loyalty, and Leaks

• Backdrop & Significance

  • Levin frames the resignation of Joe Kent as a litmus test for loyalty within the intelligence apparatus and a microcosm of broader internal threats to American security.
  • Kent, as the number two at the National Intelligence Director’s office, had enormous access and responsibility post-9/11 (02:47–03:42).

• Allegations Against Joe Kent

  • Levin suggests Kent was hostile to the President, leaked to friend and foe, and even to controversial figures, including what Levin calls "woke Reich neo-fascist podcasters." (04:11–04:31)
  • There's speculation Kent feared firing and resigned to pre-empt that, after being reported as a "serial leaker." (05:35–06:01)
  • While his military service is acknowledged, his post-resignation conduct is depicted as smearing and undermining U.S. national security. (08:14–09:00)

• Resignation Letter Analysis

  • Levin excoriates Kent’s resignation letter, alleging it was designed for media, Democrats, and enemies, giving "aid and comfort" to adversaries. (07:27–07:59)
  • The letter purportedly downplays the Iran threat and blames Jews and Israel for pressuring the President into war—a narrative Levin denounces as anti-Semitic and conspiratorial. (11:12–12:23)

The Espionage Act & Moral Boundaries

• Distinguishing Dissent from Betrayal

  • Levin: "It's one thing to be a conscientious objector. You resign and you leave. Took him an awful long time, did it not? Why now?" (11:02–11:12)
  • Explicit condemnation of leaking classified info: "If you leak classified information, we have a law called the Espionage Act..." (10:47–10:51)
  • Levin shares that Kent leaked details about a Trump-Iran meeting to Tucker Carlson (19:33–19:52).

• Critique of Kent’s Defenders

  • Levin ridicules the “you can’t criticize unless you’ve served” argument, affirming the right of every citizen to question and defend national interests (10:03–10:10).
  • Kent is embraced by certain right-wing influencers, whom Levin accuses of grifting, seeking fame, and attracting foreign audiences with anti-American rhetoric. (08:01–09:00, 24:29–24:43)

Broader Internal Threats: Podcasters, Media, & Foreign Influence

• Influencer Manipulation & Audience Deception

  • Levin and Rich discuss how far-right podcasters—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Steve Bannon—allegedly draw audiences by fomenting controversy and recruiting foreign clicks. (26:08–26:40, 29:05–29:42)
  • Podcasters’ numbers are “fraudulent,” inflated by ads targeting overseas listeners to manipulate metrics for monetization, not genuine U.S. patriot audiences. (24:08–24:43, 89:09–90:16)
  • Quote: "Their audience isn’t red blooded Americans... When they are trashing Jews, they are not only speaking to Americans, they are speaking to Islamists in Pakistan, in Saudi Arabia, in Qatar, who love it." – Mark Levin (24:29–24:43)

• Political Horseshoe Theory

  • Levin positions constitutional conservatives at the “bottom” of the horseshoe, with far left and far right factions (“fascists, Nazis, Marxists, Islamists”) united by rejection of Americanism and constitutionalism (33:44–34:21).

Anti-Semitism, Patriotism, and the War Effort

• Condemnation of Anti-Semitic Tropes

  • Levin rages against Kent’s implication that “Jews and Israel” forced America into war: "Which Jew did this exactly? ... Is Marco Rubio Jewish? ... These loathsome, contemptible, disgusting, immoral Jew haters. It always turns out that they hate our own country, doesn't it?" (11:12–12:56)
  • Stresses that defending Israel and American values is not only patriotic but necessary for national security.

• The Real Threat Landscape

  • Levin references John Lott’s research, pushing back against mainstream narratives that minimize Islamist terrorism relative to white supremacists, and highlighting the prevalence of Islamist-linked mass shootings. (80:38–88:19)
  • Clarifies the important distinction between “Islamists” and Muslims, advocating vigilance against “populations... growing and growing... because of the importation practices of the Democrats.” (87:50–88:19)

Joe Kent’s Contradictory Record

• Kent’s Past Positions vs. Present Conduct
  • Levin reads Kent’s 2023–24 press releases, showing prior public support for Israel, “maximum pressure” on Iran, and condemnation of anti-Semitism. (40:48–48:31)
  • "America first for Congress... I am imminently familiar with the help that Israel has provided the United States during my military service in the Middle East..." (44:11–45:54)
  • In contrast, Kent’s resignation letter is branded “loathsome, bigoted, hateful, [and] undermining the president...” (48:31–49:15)

Historical Analogies: Benedict Arnold

• Comparisons to American Traitors
  • Levin likens Kent to Benedict Arnold: "Benedict Arnold was also a great military man during the Revolutionary War... People back then didn't say, yeah, but he was great... he's helping the enemy." (56:53–58:02)

Tone and Language

Levin’s tone throughout is combative, passionate, and unwaveringly patriotic, frequently punctuated by scorn for perceived traitors, apologias for classical American and Judeo-Christian values, and caustic dismissals of political and media adversaries. He deploys historical analogies, biting humor, and direct engagement with critics—“That’s right, I said it!” (56:53)—to energize and embolden his audience.

---

Conclusion

This episode articulates the dangers of leaks in the intelligence community as a symptom of broader disloyalty, media manipulation, and the threat posed by internal and external enemies. Levin draws direct lines from Kent's resignation to a crisis of patriotism, the importance of defending American and Israeli interests, and the urgent need for electoral integrity. The stories of Jimmy Lai and Senator Scott serve as both warnings and inspirations, underlining fidelity to principle and country amid tumultuous times.

He's here.

[Narrator/Producer]

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 Lev.

[Mark Levin]

Hello America. Mark Levin here.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Our number.

[Mark Levin]

Hello. 877-381-3811, 877-3813, 811. Well, there's a lot to go over today. Let me ask you folks a question. If there were an individual, the number two, the deputy at the director of national Intelligence office and this office was created after 911 to gather all the intelligence from throughout the federal government and to present that information to the commander in chief once or twice a day to ensure that the commander in chief had the very best information from all the intelligence elements and assets. We have to make a decision on behalf of the United States of America to protect us.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And what if you find out that

[Mark Levin]

the number two person in that office, that the number two person then on office is hostile to the president's agenda, who rejects the decisions of the commander in chief, the ultimate decision on when to undertake military operations? War.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And what if that individual, it turns

[Mark Levin]

out,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

is alleged to have been a

[Mark Levin]

leaker and has been leaking information to

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

friend and foe alike,

[Mark Levin]

reportedly

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

including to

[Mark Levin]

woke right Reich neo fascist podcasters?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

What if this individual leaked the facts

[Mark Levin]

that meetings had occurred between the commander in chief and other individuals where the

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

commander in chief may not have wanted that information public?

[Mark Levin]

What would you call a person like that America?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Would you call them a patriot?

[Mark Levin]

Would you call them maga? What would you call a person like that America?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Wouldn't you need to determine what kind of information this person has in fact been leaking to determine if they violated the Espionage Act. Is that a form of espionage, whether it's officially criminal or not?

[Mark Levin]

Well, I'm basically describing a man by

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

the name of Joe Kent.

[Mark Levin]

Joe Kent who resigned today because I

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

suspect that he feared he was going to be fired because he was a

[Mark Levin]

serial leaker, as the reports go, in that all important position where he reports

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

to Tulsi Gabbard and apparently Gabbard was informed that she needed to do something

[Mark Levin]

about it, according to reports. I wasn't there and she did not, that is to remove him.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

There are literally individuals circling the wagons

[Mark Levin]

around this man,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

including the woke Reich neo fascist podcasters and D influencers and of course the Marxist Islamists who opposed his appointment in the first place. The Democrats in the Senate who opposed his appointment in the first place are now praising him,

[Mark Levin]

praising him, turning him into a martyr.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Furthermore, according to reports and things that I have been reading, this is a man who dabbled in white supremacy, who dabbled in neo Nazism. I do not know that we can

[Mark Levin]

call him those things at this point, but there is no question that he dabbled in it.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And in his resignation letter, which was written for the press, written for the

[Mark Levin]

Democrats,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

not a private resignation letter to the President of the United States, but a letter written for all those who oppose our president and oppose this war effort and who are undermining our military. A letter that no doubt will be quoted by the enemy and give them aid and comfort without question. A letter intentionally, word by word, put together to create controversy and to make

[Mark Levin]

the job of our president much more difficult.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And the men and women in uniform who are fighting these, these Nazi terrorists more difficult, while his defenders talk about his 11 deployments in the war and

[Mark Levin]

his great service as a military man.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And it was. But the people fighting in this war today deserve the same amount of respect and support. And this man who dishonored his appointment, dishonored himself. This man is effectively smearing, undermining the men and women in uniform today who are taking on this hard enemy. And he does a number of things in this letter. He decides that there was not an imminent threat. He, not the president, not the Vice president, not the Secretary of State, not the secretary. He decides there's not an imminent threat, thereby trying to use his former position and his resignation to destroy support for the president as commander in chief in this war effort. It is a disgusting disgrace. He is a disgusting disgrace. Nobody's questioning his military background and the things he did in support of his country. We're talking about what he's done now, what he's doing right this minute. He's immediately embraced. Immediately by Katarlson, by Kelly, by Jones, by Owens, by Fuentes. Immediately embraced by them and more. And how dare you question him? They say unless you've served.

[Mark Levin]

I guess they're not familiar with American system of government. We're allowed to question anybody whether we've served or not.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

But even if we haven't served, we still have a responsibility to speak up for our country, our Commander in Chief

[Mark Levin]

and the men and women who are

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

in the field fighting the enemy right now, regardless of who's stabbing them in the back, regardless of the background of the person stabbing them in the back. And that's exactly what this Joe Ken is doing. Stabbing the President in the back, the Secretary of State in the back, the Secretary of Defense, the CIA Director, and our men and women in uniform.

[Mark Levin]

He has a conscientious objection, you see, to the war.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

But he doesn't have a right to

[Mark Levin]

leak, if that's what he did.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And if you leak classified information, we have a law called the Espionage act

[Mark Levin]

that you're familiar with by now. I don't know what he leaked. Oh, I have one example of what he leaked, and I'll get to that in a minute. This is no hero.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

If he was a hero, he's no hero anymore. It's one thing to be a conscientious objector.

[Mark Levin]

You resign and you leave.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Took him an awful long time, did it not? Why now? Why not three weeks ago? Why not a year ago? What else does he do in this letter? He blames the Jews in Israel, you see? Israel and its lobbyists and its advocates here in America, they pressured the President. Pressured the President to go to war. I don't know. Is Marco Rubio Jewish? Is Pete Hegsett Jewish? Is the head of the CIA Jewish? Which Jew did this exactly? Which is really official, Is so powerful, so influential, that he convinced the entire national security apparatus, the entire Pentagon, the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, Radcliffe, the head of the CIA. Which Jew is it that has this kind of power?

[Mark Levin]

None. There are none. None. These loathsome, contemptible, disgusting, immoral Jew haters. It always turns out that they hate our own country, doesn't it? Doesn't it? Whether they served or not. You can wrap yourself in patriotism. You can wrap yourself in your background.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

You can attack me all you want. You can try and intimidate me. It's not going to work. You can try and threaten me. It's not going to work. I will always stand firm behind the United States military and this commander in chief. And I will always stand firm against an Islamist Nazi regime that wants to build nuclear weapons and wipe us off the face of the earth. I will always stand firm against a genocidal regime that kills 50,000 of its own people. I am perfectly comfortable in my own skin. I am perfectly comfortable with my own principles, my values, my beliefs, and yes, my faith. My faith that born another faith.

[Mark Levin]

I make no apologies.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I am proud

[Mark Levin]

weasels who secrete themselves into high positions and leak to the media and leak to podcasters

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

who look the President in the face every day while behind his back they're undermining him. Anybody who defends that, anybody, anybody who participates in that, anybody

[Mark Levin]

is no patriot as far as I'm concerned.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Quite the opposite. Quite the opposite.

[Mark Levin]

Our president is a great man.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

He is a great leader. He's made a very difficult decision. I mean really, it's a simple decision, but difficult because he has to put up with this, with this, with media, individuals who have contributed nothing to the country, nothing with the Democrat party that is defunding our defenses at home and undermining our defense overseas, is to put up with individuals. And I'm sure it's not just this guy and others who don't have the guts, the guts to put their name to the leaks to the media. He's got more guts than you, mark. He served 11 times. I'm not talking about that. I am talking about when you serve directly the President of the United States, you do not conduct yourself that way. If you did it in the military. There's not a commander in the United States military who would put up with somebody undermining the mission and leaking to the media, and the media printing it and therefore giving information to the enemy. There's no commander

[Mark Levin]

who would tolerate that for two seconds.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

The letter this man wrote, this Joe Kent,

[Mark Levin]

is a letter of contempt against the country and the President. If you want to resign because you disagree with a war, you're perfectly free to do so.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

If you want to write a letter,

[Mark Levin]

you're perfectly free to do so.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

But if that letter has as its

[Mark Levin]

purpose to do damage and also to camouflage your past conduct as an individual

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

who the President relied on for loyalty,

[Mark Levin]

who gave his confidence to, well, that is a disgusting disgrace. I say that as an American, a red blooded American whose family members have gone to war. I'll be right back.

[Narrator/Producer]

Mud loving.

[Mark Levin]

Folks, many central banks around the world, the same institutions that print all that money. They're buying gold at record levels and they're not speculating. Seems like they're diversifying away from the US Dollar. Many global central bank gold holdings have now surpassed the holdings of U.S. treasuries.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Problem is the endless spending, the endless borrowing, driving up interest rates and driving down the value of the dollar.

[Mark Levin]

This is where my trusted friends at Monetary Gold come in. With over 100 years of combined trading

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

floor experience, these are people who have

[Mark Levin]

lived through every market cycle.

Those of you who listen to this program know in June of last year, President Trump asked to meet with me after one of my programs on Fox. He wanted to talk about Iran. I'm not going to discuss what occurred in that meeting. It was a very important meeting, as it turned out. He actually asked me in May. I had to go. Well, I had a family member who was very sick, so I couldn't meet right away. And he said, look, when you come back, I'd like to meet with you. So I came back, met with him for about an hour and a half, a few others, then I left. And within minutes, this lowlife reprobate Tucker Guitarlson went online and wrote his infamous screed that if we were to bomb the nuclear sites in Iran and if the Israelis were to go in there, it would be World War three, we'd lose tens of thousands of soldiers and on and on with his usual bs, his mentally ill self serving contemptible bs. He hates this country, he hates you. And he's made it abundantly clear.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

So who leaked that? Who leaked that to this piece of you know what from that piece of you know what? Turns out it was Joe Kent. He leaked it because apparently he saw me leaving the anteroom to the Oval Office. He leaked it to Tucker Carlson.

[Mark Levin]

That's what he did. I'll be right back. I believe disciplined investors don't panic during price dips. They capitalize on them. If the gold and silver surged into the $5,400 to $5,500 range, we saw a sharp correction recently as some folks took profits. But many financial minds didn't run. They accumulated. Because in a long term, bull market, dips can be opportunities, not warnings. Because you look at the trajectory, the fundamentals driving gold's rise haven't changed. And silver, well, silver dropped more than 11% recently. And many analysts call it exactly what it was, a consolidation, not a collapse. And it's back moving up again.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Let me ask you folks a question.

[Mark Levin]

The vast majority of the men and women in our military, the vast majority of our men and women in the military who are on those carriers, who are on those, those other ships, who are flying those jets, flying those bombers, the vast majority are Christians. And yet you have these people

[Senator Rick Scott]

who

[Mark Levin]

want us to lose this war, who are undermining our military for their own personal pursuits, grift agendas,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

fame, who claim

[Mark Levin]

to support white Christian men.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Do they support white Christian men? Is that what they're doing today, supporting white Christian men? No. What are they supporting? Islamists? Islamists? Islamist Nazi dictators in Iran. They're undermining our military. They are undermining our commander in chief, a white Christian man. They are undermining our secretary of defense, a white Christian man. They want to talk race. Well, let us talk race. Let us talk religion. Let us do it. You have got the Jewish state and a majority Christian country, Judeo Christian, shoulder to shoulder, trying to defeat an Islamist Nazi terrorist regime that wants to blow the Jews off the face of the earth and the Christians off the face of the earth. And these little bastards, these little putians, these nobodies, weasel their way into government, use their little podcast platforms to undermine

[Mark Levin]

us,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

a majority Christian nation. And then they claim to be white supremacists who stand for Christianity while they're destroying Christianity and Judaism and everything else. I'm learning more and more about these numbers, quote, unquote, of these influencers. The more I get into this podcaster business. And let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen, much of it is absolutely fraudulent. Fraudulent. The numbers are manipulated. Some of these entities buy ads, listen

[Mark Levin]

to me,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

that are focused on overseas audiences, on the Internet, and they Run exclusively in foreign countries. Listen to me, I'm telling you how this works because some of the experts have been tapping their brains, they've been

[Mark Levin]

informing me

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

and they spend a lot of money on these ads and these platforms spend a lot of money on these ads because you see, it doesn't matter if the eyes come from Pakistan or Bolivia or Qatar or wherever eyes are eyes. It doesn't matter if they're American eyes or something else. And that's how it's monetized. So this is how they cheat on the algorithms that come in. This is the great secret no one's allowed to talk about. Well, I'm talking about it. So they draw in these foreign viewers and these woke Reich neo fascist isolationists who are trashing our president, trashing our military, trashing our country. Their audience isn't red blooded Americans. Some are of course, but not most. Their audience isn't mostly MAGA that loves our president and loves our military and wants us to win this war. When they are trashing Jews, they are not only speaking to Americans, they are speaking to Islamists in Pakistan, in Saudi Arabia, in Qatar, who love it. Love it. Why do you think they play clips of these people? They play clips of these people in mosques in Iran, in Qatar, in Saudi Arabia and they become famous in these countries.

[Mark Levin]

I think I'm going to buy a house in Qatar.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it.

[Mark Levin]

But he won't step foot in Israel. And he's not the only one. What do you think Fuentes gets most of his audience from?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

What do you think that little Adolf bastard gets most of his audience from? Of course the lowest of the low lives here, but also overseas. He's a punk, he's a nothing.

[Mark Levin]

Owens. Same damn thing. Same damn thing. You know, Megyn Kelly is very, very lucky, very, very lucky that I have a wonderful wife and family and producer and crew because I was going to cream her once and for all in ways that she has never experienced. Mr. Producer, was I not? And I was talked out of it. I had people sending me information over the transom that you wouldn't believe. But I'm going to leave it. I'm going to leave it. I'm not going to go

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

further into

[Mark Levin]

the gutter with these people where their heads are. I'm not going to do it anymore. On could do it. I'm not going to do it. I'm just not.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

There's Alex Jones.

[Mark Levin]

He's not only broke, he's stupid.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Stupid. He's like an Addled homeless guy sitting in a beach chair on the corner somewhere in Manhattan, yelling at the top of his lungs. Oh, the neocons and the neocons and the neocons.

[Mark Levin]

Now you're just a con, pal. You have the IQ of a watermelon.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

These are what we're dealing with.

[Mark Levin]

People you'd never socialize with. People you don't want to be around. They all have their own weird psychosis going on. You look at this guy Bannon.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

He's a crook. He's an admitted crook. He's got videotapes with Epstein. He won't release him. And he still acts like nothing's ever happened. Not held to account for anything. Just keeps burping on and on and on. It's incredible.

[Mark Levin]

President is right. They think they have influence, but they don't. Now they're gonna. They're gonna bring this guy Kent on to draw more and more eyes. Because that's how they work.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

The more crazy ass they are, the

[Mark Levin]

more viewers they get. Not you.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And then that will be pushed through the system at the Drudge Report, at Media ite, on ms, now on cnn. They will use it against the President. They will use it against our armed forces. They will give aid and comfort to the enemy. Already Bernie Sanders said, I don't agree with everything about Jack and Joe Kemp on this. I'm with him. Every Democrat virtually has said the same thing. They hate this guy Kent,

[Mark Levin]

but he's a useful idiot. He's a useful idiot and they like their useful idiots, don't they? Marjorie Traitor Green. That's all she cares about. The Green. Marjorie Trader Greene. She gets more FaceTime. I won't comment on that either. She gets more FaceTime than she ever got. She's a fraud. They're all frauds. Think about it. Just think about it. And so of course, Kent, they're going to tell you about all his service in the military, which is laudatory. He should get a great deal of credit for this. You get no credit for leaking and stabbing a commander in chief in the back and undermining our military.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Isn't that right, General Mike Flynn?

[Mark Levin]

Isn't that right, General Flynn? Your dumb ass son posts what he posts, comes to the defense of this guy.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Are you going to do that too, General? Seriously?

[Mark Levin]

What a disgrace that would be. Those of us who have supported the general over the years. Look, people change. They just do. People change. Sometimes it's inexplicable, sometimes it's not. This guy Kent, people are sending me, I have press releases he released in support of Israel, that is from the United States are bound by democracy from 2022.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Mr. Paduza.

[Mark Levin]

In three years time he's turned into a Tucker Carlson. He's turned into a bigot.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

In three years time. I don't know what happened. I don't care what happened. When you serve a President of the

[Mark Levin]

United States and you are in a

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

senior, senior position and intelligence is crossing your desk, you don't talk to reporters, you don't talk to D influencers, slobs like guitars. You don't do that. All the goodwill you earned by serving in the United States military is lost when you undermine the United States military and the Commander in Chief. There's no excuse for this. We have thousands and thousands of men and women who've done unbelievable tasks on behalf of the military in the United States. We the people who go back and serve as civilian in district capacities. And they're honorable and they remain honorable. They remain heroes. When you get a position, the Deputy Director of National Intelligence, how important do you know how important that job is? You don't sit there and leak. If that's what he's done, apparently he has. President said it. Others say he definitely did it on me. You don't leak about who the President's meeting with, who he's talking to, all the rest of it.

[Mark Levin]

I oppose this war.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Good. Then shut your mouth or leave.

[Mark Levin]

You don't conduct yourself this way. All the parasites and cockroaches will take advantage of this. They will exploit it. Whether it's on the left, the democrats and their media, whether it is the woke right, neo fascists who've been stabbing the President in the back and undermining our military. People talk about the horseshoe, how they meet. You know, I developed this horseshoe.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I talked about this, this political spectrum

[Mark Levin]

for 25 years that you and me.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

You look at the horseshoe. We're at the bottom. We're not right wing, we're not left wing. We're constitutional conservatives. We are the core of why the nation was founded. We're not right wing, we're constitutional concern. We're not nationalists and populists. We believe in Americanism and constitutionalism. They're the ones at the top who meet the fascists, Nazis, the Marxists, the Islamists. They reject Americanism.

[Mark Levin]

They reject it. When's the last time they spoke about it? When's the last time any of these, any of these melonheads have tried to educate their audiences or convey to their audiences patriotism, allegiance to the country. How fantastic our country is. How fantastic our Constitution is. The declaration, our founders and friends.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

When is the last time they even talked about it? It's the 250th anniversary of the founding of our country and they're trashing it. And they're undermining the president and they're undermining the military and they're attacking Jews and Christians. They're denying Judeo Christian values that were the foundational principles of this country. They reject it.

[Mark Levin]

And then they tell you they're America first. Then they tell you they're maga. These people are going to destroy the midterm elections because too many people are going to sit out because they're sick of these people. They're sick and tired of it. They're turning off, turning off them and everybody else. And that's what little Ada Fuentes wants.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

He's already said, don't vote Republican. Maga's dead. Vote Democrat. That's basically what Kitarlson has said. They're all saying Maga's dead. That's you, Mr. And Mrs. America. You. Maga is what? The Tea Party mag is the Trump Revolution, the Reagan revolution mag is Constitutional Concert. They're telling you you're all dead. You're all finished. You hate each other. We 92% of us support the president

[Mark Levin]

in this war effort.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Zero percent of them do.

[Mark Levin]

Zero percent.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

The Democrats, the media, the neo fascist woke right. They don't support what you support.

[Mark Levin]

I'll be right back, Folks. Many central banks around the world, the same institutions that print all that money, they're buying gold at record levels and they're not speculating. Seems like they're diversifying away from the US Dollar. Many global central bank gold holdings have now surpassed the holdings of U.S. doll U.S. treasuries.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

The problem is the endless spending, the endless borrowing driving up interest rates and driving down the value of the dollar.

[Mark Levin]

This is where my trusted friends at Monetary Gold come in. With over 100 years of combined trading

That's enough of a reason to go to war. They killed over 600 of our soldiers in Iraq. And all told, when you count the Marines that they murdered and all the rest, over a thousand of our soldiers and thousands of thousands of casualties of Americans. They try to assassinate our president twice and they're building nuclear missiles to blow us off the face of the earth. And I got to hear that this isn't an imminent threat.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Not an imminent threat, no.

[Mark Levin]

So says the genius, Joe Kent.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And of course his opinion is what should rule. Anybody vote for Joe Kent? He's a one time congressman and then

[Mark Levin]

he couldn't win again.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

His opinion matter, he should rule. Oh, and Tucker Carlson, he's a genius. Oh, he knows everything, this guy. Just ask him. I'd like to take his DNA to

[Mark Levin]

determine if he's actually a human being.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I'll tell you what, Tucker, you take

[Mark Levin]

your DNA and I'll take my DNA. Let's see what background you are. I don't think you're as pure as you think. I really don't.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I don't think you're pure at all. What do you think of that? And this guy Fuentes, I'd love to see his DNA. Fuentes, white supremacist. The guy's got Mexican background. I'm a white supremacist now, you little puke. That's what you are. And Alex Jones, does it look like that guy's ever missed a meal? Mr. Producer.

[Mark Levin]

No. No. People are messing around with the wrong person, aren't they? I've only just begun. Hour two and a few minutes. It's a remarkable article I want to share with you as well as some comments by the President of the United States that I think you'll want to hear. I'll be right back.

He's here.

[Narrator/Producer]

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, 877-381-3811. I want to read something to you and get my glasses on. Hold on. I got these new reading glasses I mean, I can actually read the words that I'm trying to read. Hold on once. Oh, these are nice.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Oh, look at that.

[Mark Levin]

Whole new world. I'm saddened and angered by the violent attacks against our ally Israel, Hamas. Unprecedented violence was made possible by the Biden administration providing the number one state sponsor of terror, that would be Iran, $6 billion and sending over 300 million of our tax dollars to assist terrorists in Gaza. Biden has consistently enabled Iran to and its proxies to indiscriminately attack Israeli civilians. Marie Peres did not condemn Representative Pramala Jayapal when she labeled Israel a racist state. And she refused to remove the anti Semitic Representative Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. When I get to Congress, this is when he was a Republican running against a Democrat.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I will not authorize $0.01 of financial

[Mark Levin]

aid to Iran or Hamas. And I will make sure Israel gets the weaponry they need to keep themselves secure.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

That's Joe Kent. That's Joe Kent. October 7, 2023.

[Mark Levin]

Two and a half years ago

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

today says there's no imminent threat from Iran. No imminent threat from Iran. Israel dragged us into this war. These people are sick.

[Mark Levin]

Absolutely out of their minds.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

That's two and a half years ago. That's his press release. For immediate release,

[Mark Levin]

Joe KentForCongress.com running as a Republican.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

What a fake fraud and a phony

[Mark Levin]

this guy was and is. Bernie Sanders just endorsed this guy. Just endorsed what he did. Just endorsed what he did. The whole conga line of Democrats are doing that right now. So concerned was the White House about Joe Kent. A new news report says that he wasn't involved in the Iran war planning. Intel officials say it's what they say.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

In 2022. He praised the IDF. He backs maximum pressure on Iran. He embraces the Abraham Accords.

[Mark Levin]

He cast Israel as a strategic ally

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

two and a half years later.

[Mark Levin]

Israel pushed America into multiple wars since

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

2000 and is indirectly responsible for ISIS murdering my wife.

[Mark Levin]

He says now this is when we were taking on ISIS in Syria. Israel had nothing to do with it. Did you know that? Well, it's true. So he's got press release. If the press release. He's furious with the Biden regime. He's taking on Iran. Here's one. September 16, 2020 2. Israel A mutually beneficial ally and close friend.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Kent.

[Mark Levin]

America first for Congress. And let me get those glasses again. Hold on now. It helps if I can read, you know, Wrong ones. Try these over here. I can't wear bifocals. They drive me Nuts. Here's what he writes. I am imminently familiar with the help that Israel has provided the United States during my military service in the Middle East. My fellow soldiers and I often relied on intelligence provided by the IDF and their intelligence agencies to help us accomplish our mission and keep us alive.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Got that? Got that, America. This is the guy now who's going

[Mark Levin]

to be out there like Marjorie Taylor Gangrene. That's her new name. Marjorie Traitor Gangrene, but in pants.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

He says the United States and Israel

[Mark Levin]

share common enemies in the Middle east.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

From terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah

[Mark Levin]

to the totalitarian government in Iran, building

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

close economic, diplomatic and military relations in the United States. Best interest and something I will advocate as a member of Congress. You believe this guy, Rich? It's unbelievable. The foreign aid we provide to Israel. This is him. Is one of the few worthwhile investments the US makes overseas that delivers a tangible return on our nation's security. I will support the current memorandum of understanding between the US and Israel and continued military assistance, including cooperation on missile defense funding and the Iron Dome project that protects Israel's diverse population of Jews and Muslims alike.

[Mark Levin]

Listen to this guy. Sounds like Mark Levin.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

One of the best things that President Trump did for the security of the United States is and of Israel was terminating President Obama's Iran deal. I support working with Israel to apply maximum pressure against Iran's government.

[Mark Levin]

Hold on. There's more, but I have to do this. And he goes on.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

They're Iran's proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah. And to prevent Iran from ever acquiring a nuclear weapon.

[Mark Levin]

And today I didn't consider it imminent. And I'm against this war and I'm leaking. And there's my boy Tucker over there. Lap dog. There he is.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

He turns out to be Deep Throat.

[Mark Levin]

This guy.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Remember Deep Throat and Watergate?

[Mark Levin]

Number two guy at the FBI. The deputy FBI director was leaking to the Washington Post. Now this guy's Deep Throat. Well, there's actually a lot of Deep Throats, if you will, in the griper and podcast world, but we'll stick one at a time.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I will support efforts to recognize and expand the normalization efforts between Israel and the uae, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan to ensure peace and bolster the coalition that

[Mark Levin]

stands in opposition to Iran. This guy sounded hardcore, didn't he, Rich?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Wow, sounds like an Israel firster. I also support a sustainable two state solution between Israel and the Palestinian Authority

[Mark Levin]

that is negotiated directly between these parties without undue international influence that pressures Israel to make compromises. That it is.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

That is not in its national interests.

[Mark Levin]

Then he has a section on fighting antisemitism. Oh, this should be good. This should be good.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

You hear what I'm saying?

[Mark Levin]

You read his letter today. You're going to say, what is this guy, member of the Klan or something?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Anti Semitism and attempts to weaken the

[Mark Levin]

state of Israel have no place in our country.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I will oppose any effort to implement BDS policies within governments at the national,

[Mark Levin]

state or local level, as well as

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

any other efforts to undermine Israel's security

[Mark Levin]

within world organizations like the UN and the icc.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Further, I will introduce legislation to strip the most vile anti Semites in Congress from their committee assignments. This is what the man said two and a half years ago.

[Mark Levin]

Two and a half years ago. Now it's the Jews. The Jew. Yeah, it's the Jews. Isn't this amazing? Isn't this amazing? And now he'll be on all the anti Semite platforms, the Marxist platforms, the Islamist platforms and all the rest. I'll be right back. It's time for a little spring cleaning. And I know where to start. Go drag your old dated wireless contract out of the closet and beat it with a broom. Then freshen things up by switching to PureTalk, my wireless company that gives you unlimited talk text and plenty of data. Just 25 bucks a month with no contract, no cancellation fees, and no overseas customer service. If you ever need help, I'm guessing you're gonna like them as much as my listener Paul from Greer, South Carolina. He says, I finally listened to Mark Levin's advice and switched from Verizon. I'm getting the very same service for less than half of what I was paying Verizon. You know, I long wondered if these much lower services could provide the same level of service as the big boys. Now I know that Pure Talk certainly can. Thank you, Paul. Now it's time for you folks to make the switch too. Go to PureTalk.com Levin PureTalk.com Levin and you'll save 50% off your first month. That's PureTalk.com Levin and switch to a wireless company that shares your values. Pure Talk, America's wireless company, Ladies and gentlemen. When you think all is lost, that's when you got to stand strong. Chin up, look straight ahead and take it on. That's what I've done my whole life. But I want to encourage each, every one of you to do the same. You know, Rush used to say, and I used to say, these people play to the left. They want to be loved by the left wing media. That's what they do. It's just much easier. But when the left wing media is done with them, they just roll them up and throw them away. They roll him up and throw him away. They're useful idiots. This is another useful idiot. To the left and to the woke right, neo fascists, you explain to me how that man running for Office 2 1/2 years ago said what he said, and then how he says the exact opposite in the most loathsome, bigoted, hateful way, undermining the president, undermining the war effort. You explain to me how that can be. Excuse me. Well, it's a terrible, terrible thing when people who you thought have character turn out to have none. None. A fantastic Liberty Voice tonight from earlier today on my video podcast. We're having a record number of views and really it's about your history. It's about how did Congress get so powerful? How did the Supreme Court get so powerful? And I walk us through this because it didn't just happen recently. It started out really near the beginning of the Republic. And so I just want to make sure we don't lose sight and track of our 250th anniversary. So while I have to deal with the, with the rats, the rat finks, I don't want to do that on every show on Liberty's Voice podcast. So I hope you'll check it out. You're going to learn a whole lot. There's no cursing, none of that stuff. No discussion of genitalia, none of that stuff. Just good, wholesome information. American history. President Trump in the Oval Office today with the Prime Minister of Ireland, who's another nut job. Did you hear this? The Prime Minister in Ireland, the government there is saying, let's not call it St. Paddy's Day or St. Patrick's Day. Let's just call it Patrick's Day. I would ask my Irish friends out

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

there, are you happy with that?

[Mark Levin]

Because the vast majority of the population of Ireland is not.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

He's placating to the Islamists. It's crazy.

[Mark Levin]

Crazy. Here's the President this morning. Cut three, go.

[President Donald Trump (clip)]

Well, I read his statement. I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was weak on security. Very weak on security. I didn't know him well, but I thought he seemed like a pretty nice guy. But when I read a statement, I realized that it's a good thing that he's out because he said that Iran was not a threat. Iran was a threat. Every country realized what a threat Iran was. The question is whether or not they wanted to do Something about it. And many people, many of the greatest military scholars are saying for years, years, that president should have taken out Iran because they wanted a nuclear weapon.

[Mark Levin]

Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, saw much of the same intelligence that this guy saw. And apparently according to reports, again, last three or four or so months, he didn't see any. And they kept him out of the war making decision because they didn't trust him to keep his mouth shut. Here's Mike Johnson today at a press conference. Cut four, go.

[Mike Johnson (Speaker of the House clip)]

I'm on the Gang of Eight. I got all the briefings. We all understood there was clearly an imminent threat, that Iran was very close to the enrichment of nuclear capability and they were building missiles at a pace that no one in the region could keep up with. They were far outpacing our allies and friends and us in our defense capability because we had personnel, installations, members of the armed services and civilians in the region. Iran was building up ballistic missiles at such a rapid pace and we knew that their plan was to fire them upon Americans. The commander in chief and his administration had a very difficult decision to make. I don't know where Joe Kent is getting his information, but he wasn't in those briefings, clearly, because the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War and everyone, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Kaine, they had exquisite intelligence that we understood that this was a serious moment for us. Had the President waited, I am personally convinced that we would have mass casualties of Americans, service members and others and our installations would have been dramatically damaged. And so we had to. The president felt that he had to strike first to prevent those mass casualties.

[Mark Levin]

These people who second guess the president, that's bad enough, but then try and undermine the mission. This guy, Joe Kent, is now going

[Senator Rick Scott]

to be

[Mark Levin]

Nicole Wallace as an example on Ms. Now, I don't know why they changed it from Ms. LSD to Ms. Now look at this.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

We have a big chain.

[Mark Levin]

All the same A holes are there all the same individuals with the constipated looks on their face, with all the makeup, with all the face jobs, with all the hairdos, with all the rest of it. They're all there. Same ones, same ones. She is slobbering all over. This guy's great. He'll be remembered forever. You see what I mean? For them, it doesn't matter who it is,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that they hated him

[Mark Levin]

two and a half years ago.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Now he's flipped. He's flipped to undermine the war effort, stabbed the President in the back, effectively giving aid and comfort to the enemy. That's right. I said it. And so are the Democrats and their media.

[Mark Levin]

That's right. And so now he's a hero for them. Not for me. To me, he's a Benedict Arnold. Benedict Arnold was also a great military man during the Revolutionary War, but he was passed over repeatedly. Passed over repeatedly for bigger positions, and unfairly so, probably. But he apparently had a very bad personality. So the decision makers,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

they passed over him, and he became very angry about it. So you know what he did while he was serving in our military? He was providing information to the British then. He was effectively serving in the British military. Now. People back then didn't say, yeah, but he was great. You know, he had hit 11 up 11 times. He served in the war.

[Mark Levin]

Now they said, wait a minute, he's helping the enemy. And so now you get the phrase Benedict Arnold.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

But he's a conscientious objector. He no longer believes in American independence. He believes in Britain and the King. He's a conscientious objector.

[Mark Levin]

No, he isn't. He joined the enemy. We need to draw real stark lines here, ladies and gentlemen, between good and evil, ally and enemy, ally and enemy. And I'm happy to do it for everybody. I really am. All the little. Hey, you know what? All the little squeaky frogs out there making their little noises and so forth, worried about their hairdos and their hair extensions and their makeup and their facelifts and. And what kind of tailored shirts they're wearing. And little Fuentes wearing his funeral suit all the time.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Hey, everybody.

[Mark Levin]

You know, is he like a Chihuahua? Fuentes the Chihuahua. Although I like Chihuahuas. No, Fuentes. Little Eight off. That's better. Or big bloated, you know, buffoons like Bannon and Jones. There's a couple, by the way. Can you imagine them, Mr. Producer? I'd rather not. I'll be right back. It's time for a little spring cleaning. And I know where to start. Go drag your old dated wireless contract out of the closet and beat it with a broom. Then freshen things up by switching to PureTalk, my wireless company that gives you unlimited talk text and plenty of data. Just 25 bucks on month with no contract, no cancellation fees, and no overseas customer service.

I'm getting the very same service for less than half of what I was paying Verizon. You know, I long wondered if these much lower services could provide the same level of service as the big boys. Now, I know that Pure Talk certainly can. Thank you, Paul. Now it's time for you folks to make the switch, too. Go to PureTalk.com Levin PureTalk.com Levin and you'll save 50% off your first month. That's PureTalk.com Levin and switch to a wireless company that shares your values. Pure Talk, America's wireless company.

[Narrator/Producer]

Mark Levin, America's think tank. And you can call them at 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

You folks remember a man named Jimmy Lai. He was a leader, a supporter of the democracy movement in Hong Kong when the communist Chinese violated their, their deal with Britain and decided to take over the island. And they started beating people, they started imprisoning people, they started killing people as we watched here in the United States with our jaws on the ground. And I remember an elderly gentleman in specific, who the communist Chinese were really targeting. His name was Jimmy Lai and he was an older gentleman. He's a media owner, he's a wealthy man and he didn't have to do any of this, but he sort of a George Washington type, if you will, of Hong Kong, a pro democracy campaigner, journalist. He stood strong in the middle of it. And the communist Chinese took him into custody. And he hasn't been out since. He's been a prisoner and now he's a prisoner of conscience. And the world knows it. Our government knows it. And several of the free countries have demanded his release. UN human rights experts, the European Parliament, the Canadian Parliament, our government, Australia, Canada, Italy, all other G7 member states,

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

and

[Mark Levin]

the communist Chinese don't give a damn. And just a few weeks ago, in early February, one of their kangaroo courts sentenced him to 20 years in prison. He's 78. He's 79 years old. So that's a death sentence for him. And the conditions, of course, in the prison are horrific. I have a son with me right now, Sebastian Lai. And I wanted, Sebastian, for you to come on and tell the American people what's taking place with your truly wonderful father and how they're treating him.

[Sebastian Lai]

Thank you so much for having me on and such a wonderful introduction and monologue of my father and everything that he has stood for. You know, his treatment is horrible. He's in maximum security prison, and he's treated worse than the prisoners in maximum security prison. Murderers, people who have done horrible things. And for standing up for freedom and democracy and giving everything that he has to stand up and protect his employees. He's been kept in solid confinement. He doesn't have natural light in a cell. They've blocked that off. And anybody who knows someone his age, he's 78 soon, you know, in their late 70s, early 80s, even 100 days in this little cell of 60 square feet, intellectual, fine, but not interacting with anybody is almost insurmountable. And he's spent a thousand nine hundred days in there. So he now has heart issues. His nails fall off, his teeth are rotting. But one of the things that has given me great strength is that throughout it all, mentally and spiritually, he has still remained strong. He's a very strong Catholic and he prays every day, he draws pictures of Christ and he though he is being tortured for his belief that he is doing the right thing, that he has done the right thing and because of that he is holding strong.

[Mark Levin]

Are you allowed to visit him or is anybody allowed to visit him?

[Sebastian Lai]

So because I advocate on his behalf, I haven't been back to Hong Kong.

[Mark Levin]

Because they throw you in prison too.

[Senator Rick Scott]

Exactly.

[Sebastian Lai]

Even for doing something like this. For example, speaking to you and to your audience is something that could land me in prison. And Hong Kong, under the National Security Law, he does get visits. It's relatively rare. He gets four visits a month. And that is the only time he, one of the only times he ever has contact with another human being. But he gets visits.

[Mark Levin]

Do you have any sense for what maybe the UN or the EU or these parliaments or the United States that they're making any headway with communist China? Are they doing enough?

[Sebastian Lai]

Look, we've been so incredibly grateful by the leadership that President Trump has shown on my father's case. You know, he's mentioned multiple times that this is, you know, getting that it would be very meaningful for China to release my father. You know, obviously we know that there's a trip upcoming and I think, you know, that this is a relatively easy thing for China to do, to put a 70 year old man on the plane. And not only easy, it'd be morally the right thing and it also be rationally the right thing for them to do, given that the President has said that this is such a, would be such a meaningful gesture and so many other countries have joined the US leadership and publicly. And so I think, look, obviously a lot has been done by many people that care so much about this case worldwide bringing attention to it, but he's not back home yet. So more needs to be done to get this over the line. But we now have a man who is, you know, is elderly. His health is not good. It's rapidly deteriorating. And I think it is not in anybody's best interest that he passes away and dies in prison in Hong Kong.

[Mark Levin]

I'm afraid to ask you too many questions because if you answer them, it may cause him more problems, if you know what I mean. I'm sure I'm not exactly the number one American to that regime over there either. So there really is this prison that he's in. The worst of the worst are in there, of course, but I'm guessing there's probably a lot of students who wanted freedom who were in this prison, too. Correct.

[Sebastian Lai]

So a lot of the students are not kept in maximum security and are not kept in the same situation that he's being kept in. His treatment is above and beyond accrual. And I think, look, it's. I think, you know, in my father, they see this man who has refused to bend. This man who, like you said, you know, could have, as he would say himself, if he escaped, he could have lived very comfortably, but by staying, he has lived meaningfully. And because of this courage, because he did what, you know, I think other people see themselves in this nation doing for. But people should have this courage. He is being tortured for that. And what they put him through is an attempt to break him.

[Mark Levin]

How many years has he been there?

[Sebastian Lai]

Five years.

[Mark Levin]

Five years.

[Sebastian Lai]

To give you some context. Yeah. So 14 days of solid confinement is considered prolonged solid confinement. He has spent more than a thousand nine hundred days in solitary confinement. It's inhumane.

[Mark Levin]

In addition to you tell me about the rest of his family.

[Senator Rick Scott]

Yeah,

[Sebastian Lai]

it's, you know, I think it's one of those things where we're all, you know, we're waiting to see our father again.

[Mark Levin]

How many children are there?

[Sebastian Lai]

He's a. So it's. It's the six of us. He also has grandchildren. I never met my. My child. He wasn't there at my wedding. He, you know, some of his other grandchildren from my older siblings have now gone to university, have graduated. And I think, you know, by. By taking this stance, standing up for what is right and knowingly doing what he believed is the right thing, but could very well land him in prison. He decided inadvertently not to spend that time with his family. And I think it's this heartbreaking thing that I wrestle with, but I can't help but feel incredibly proud of him for doing what he did.

[Mark Levin]

This. It's a very brutal regime. I mean, they even take out their own Guys, you know, generals and former presidents and so forth and so on. It is going to take, I think our country as well as others, but particularly our country, to really make this a number one priority. And of course the problem is when you make something a number one priority, a regime like this actually resists more. But nonetheless, you got to do what you got to do. What can the American people do?

[Sebastian Lai]

I think first of all, shine a light on my father's case. I mean, here is a man who embodies the freedoms of this country, embodies the freedom of the free world, whose story, you know, this South Main man who escaped communist China and decided to give everything that he has to further democracy in Hong Kong. And then in this great act of courage turns around and state his, his colleagues and other pro democracy protesters. I think this is a story that many, many people in this country see themselves in those shoes. They would like to believe that if they were given the same opportunities, they would do the same thing. And so I think that's what it is. That's what Hong Kong is criminalizing. That's what Hong Kong is torturing. They're torturing the goodness in all of us. And that is completely wrong. And I think you're right. This is something that obviously many Americans care deeply about. But I think also it's something that actually is in China's best interest to release my father. Because not only does the rest of the world's many countries want him to be free, they see this man as a hero and a hero that needs to be freedom, but, but it's also not in China's 78 year old man. It's a horrible look globally and I think Hong Kong has done China a horrible disservice in how they've treated my father. And also, you know, all this kind of mistreatment. His trial has been done in open court, so all this information is now out there. To see that this man is completely innocent, has been peaceful this whole time and has dedicated his life for the liberty of others. And I think it is completely irrational to kill a man for doing that, no matter what regime it is.

[Mark Levin]

It's heartbreaking. I know my audience and my audience probably very angry and disgusted by this. We very much remember your father, remember seeing him on television, remember how he was being targeted and a lot of us said, why doesn't he leave? He's a wealthy man, he doesn't need to stay there. How courageous, how incredibly courageous because he knew that something horrible one way or another would happen to him. And his colleagues, and it's just a horrible, horrible thing. Well, I'm hoping that you, his very loving and patriotic son, in speaking to this audience. I pray to God something positive comes out of this because no man should have to go through this, especially not him. And if you have any final words, let me know. And, and we, we give our. Our deepest and sincerest blessings and hope to you. And I'm going to make it personally my business to keep on top of this. Go right ahead.

[Sebastian Lai]

Thank you. Thank you, sir. And God, you know, God bless. God bless you for saying that. I think, you know, I think he stayed believing that. And I'm sure he was right, that by staying and by being this kind of, you know, figure if they arrested him, then he would not need to arrest as many people. If they, if they took him, it means that his journalists and other people might be safe. And, you know, I. I miss him a lot, and I think what he's done is incredibly brave. And, and I still remember when he was first arrested and released and then he was rearrested. But in that time, someone asked him, jimmy, knowing that it's last 30 years, it's all come to this, that you're probably going to spend the rest of your life or that there is this large possibility that you're going to spend the rest of your life in prison, you know, do you regret it? And he turns around and says, look, in the detention center, they give you this very thin blanket. So I couldn't really. I couldn't really sleep. And as my father said, he said, I look back in the last 30 years, whether I would have changed anything. And then he pauses and he says, I wouldn't have changed a damn thing.

[Mark Levin]

I think that's incredible, man. Absolutely incredible human being. All right, Sebastian. Well, thank you very, very much. Many people have heard you now, especially me, and I want to thank you and God bless you and your family and your father.

[Sebastian Lai]

Thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you.

[Mark Levin]

You're welcome. You're welcome. More than welcome. I think I'm gonna text somebody tonight. Mr. Producer. We shall see. We'll be right back.

[Narrator/Producer]

Mark Lovin.

[Mark Levin]

It's time for a little spring cleaning. And I know where to start. Go drag your old dated wireless contract out of the closet and beat it with a broom. Then freshen things up by switching to PureTalk, my wireless company that gives you unlimited talk, text and plenty of data. Just 25 bucks a month with no contract, no cancellation fees, and no overseas customer service. If you ever need help, I'm Guessing you're going to like them as much as my listener, Paul from Greer, South Carolina. He says, I finally listened to Mark Levin's advice and switched from Verizon. I'm getting the very same service for less than half of what I was paying Verizon. You know, I long wondered if these much lower services could provide the same level of service as the big boys. Now I know that Pure Talk certainly can. Thank you, Paul. Now it's time for you folks to make the switch too. Go to PureTalk.com Levin PureTalk.com Levin and you'll save 50% off your first month. That's PureTalk.com Levin and switch to a wireless company that shares your values. Pure Talk, America's wireless company. Sad, isn't it? Terrible, terrible, terrible. Be nice if he's released, can come to the United States and be a great patriotic American citizen, because he would be. Before the communist Chinese did what they did, Hong Kong was considered the freest place on the face of the earth. Did you know that? It's considered the freest economy on the face of the earth. Major companies had headquarters there. All kinds of trade groups would meet there. Some still do, but back then many more did. A tiny island with skyscraper after skyscraper after skyscraper. And I remember in his book Free to Choose, Milton Friedman wrote about it. And then on his PBS special he did one of his hours from Hong Kong. And so for the communist Chinese, they needed to destroy this because there was just across the water a tiny little island that demonstrated how evil, corrupt, impoverishing communism is and was. To this tiny little island, there was a democracy that was virtually a pure capitalist system. And the people there, well, they were happy, they were free and they were prosperous. Now, of course, it's just another concentration camp. I'll be right back. As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what's to come next. And people of faith pray for freedom and for God's people in the Holy Land to be protected. And in the Holy Land, Red alert sirens fill the air. Sirens that give you only 15 seconds to reach the nearest bomb shelter. The situation is serious. The threat is real. And in times like this, freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas. They are what we depend upon. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid, emergency essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure hospitals and emergency rooms and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies. This aid is focused on Israel's most vulnerable. The sick, the elderly, children, families, in great need.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

But the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews need your most generous gift today to make this work possible. So please rush your gift, which is tax deductible, by calling right away. 888-585 IFCJ. That's 888-585-IFCJ.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

that's L E V I N for

[Mark Levin]

the fellowship.org he's here.

[Narrator/Producer]

He's here now. Broadcasting him 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 numbers, 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811. You know, we constitutional conservatives, you, Mr. And Mrs. America, the Patriots you are. We need to be focusing on the enemy now. We have an enemy within. You know, the Marxist Islamists. And this woke right neo fascists who claim to be influencers. They're de influencers. The president wants nothing to do with them.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

He made.

[Mark Levin]

He's made that clear multiple times. And now they're turning on him. Well, when they turn on him, they're turning on you and me. They're turning on us. And they have to rely on these foreign viewers and the Democrats and the Marxists and the Islamists to watch them, to build them up. Now they're now on the other side. Please understand what I'm saying. Carlson, Kelly, Bannon, Jones. Who the hell else is there? Fuentes. They're even telling him where they stand. I'm adjacent, maga. I'm no longer Republican. I'm voting for the Democrat.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

This is what they're all saying.

[Mark Levin]

So they're not you. So they're them. They're them. They want to play both ends. It's not going to work. So we ought to be facing on the threats within and the threats without. Unfortunately, they're part of the threats within. But I want to focus on one of the other ones, a significant one. There's a great piece at Real Clear Politics. Excuse me, Cholera, by our friend John Lott. The terror threat Americans aren't supposed to discuss. Of course we discuss it here. By the way, we're gonna have Senator Ron Johnson on at least he's scheduled at the bottom of the hour, if he's still free to discuss. I meant Rick Scott. What did I say? Ron Johnson. Rick Scott, one of my senators from Florida. Good man. On the Save America act and the vote that took place and he'll explain it so John Lott writes, Many commentators claim that Islam does not pose a threat of violence in the United States. Influencers such as Tucker Carlson often repeat this argument. Others, including then President Joe Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray, have argued that white supremacists represent the primary domestic threat. They are a threat, they're just not the primary threat. In March alone saw multiple terrorist attacks carried out by Muslims in Austin. A terrorist wore a sweatshirt reading Property of Allah during an attack. A New York City bomb thrower shouted Al Qu Akbar while throwing a homemade shrapnel bomb at Old Dominion University. Ashur yelled Al Akbar. And had previously been convicted of supporting isis. Another attacker, whose brother was a Hezbollah terrorist commander, targeted Temple Israel in Michigan. And yet another attack involving three men of Iraqi origin targeted the US Embassy in Norway, the Austin, Old Dominion and New York City bombers and the Michigan synagogue. Attackers were all foreign born individuals who were naturalized U.S. citizens.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Terrorist attacks take many forms.

[Mark Levin]

For example, the January 2025 truck attack in New Orleans with an ISIS flag on the truck left 14 people dead and 47 injured. But let's focus the discussion on one

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

type of attack that has been extensively

[Mark Levin]

studied, writes John Locke. Mass public Shootings Researchers define a mass public shooting as an attack in which a perpetrator kills four or more people at one time in a public space, excluding crimes such as gang fights or robberies. Looking at all mass public shootings from 1998 through 2025 reveals several patterns.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Islamists commit these crimes at a disproportionate

[Mark Levin]

rate, while males commit them at a rate below their share of the population. Most shooters express no clear political ideology.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

From January 98 to December 2025, the United States experienced 108 mass public shootings

[Mark Levin]

by 11 excuse me, by 111 shooters.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Eight of those shooters were Muslim, 7.2% of the total. Excuse me.

[Mark Levin]

During that same period, Muslims averaged 0.4% of the population. In other words, their share of attacks was 18 times their share of the population. Am I allowed to read this, Mr. Producer? It's public. The attacks included those carried out by Suzman Tulavik in Salt Lake City in 2007 Nadam Malik Hassan at Fort Hood in 2009 Mahad Yousef Abuzaziz in Chattanooga in 2015 Omar Malin in Orlando in

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

2016 Arkansatin in Burlington, Washington in 2016

[Mark Levin]

Ahmed Al Awala Elisa in Boulder, Colorado in 2021 Syed Rizwan Farouk and Tashfin Malik in San Bernardino, California in 2015.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

By contrast, seven attackers, 6.5% of the

[Mark Levin]

total, express white supremacist, neo Nazi or anti immigration views. Some attackers described as anti immigrant also express environmentalist motivations. For example, the murders in El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, Buffalo, New York wrote

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

about concerns that population growth, particularly among

[Mark Levin]

minorities, was harming the environment.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

The El Paso killer wrote in his

[Mark Levin]

manifesto, the decimation in the environment is

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

creating a massive burden for future generations.

[Mark Levin]

The next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

If we can get rid of enough

[Mark Levin]

people, then our way of life can become more sustainable. Similarly, the Buffalo killer wrote, there's no green future with never ending population growth.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

The Dayton murder, also an environmentalist, a

[Mark Levin]

registered Democrat who described himself on Twitter as a leftist and was very upset that Ohio Republican senator didn't support the gun control that he thought necessary.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Now, these attackers also describe themselves as anti capitalist, anti conservative, supportive of worker

[Mark Levin]

ownership of the means of production.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Despite those claims, news media outlets consistently

[Mark Levin]

label them broadly as right wing extremists or white supremacists. The media widely repeats the claim that all extremist violence from 2022 to 2024 came from right wing perpetrators. The ADL labels the 2022 and he goes on and on. You get his point. He's president of the Crime Prevention Research Center. He ends it this way. Even before this month's attacks, the evidence showed that Muslims in the United States commit terrorism at a greater disproportionate rate. That doesn't mean that all or even most Muslims are in danger. I always make the distinction between Islamists and Muslims. I know several Muslims who are very patriotic Americans. They are, because they're not fundamentalists, they're not Islamists. They don't look at the Quran or Sharia law and say that that needs to substitute for the Constitution, Americanism. But then you have the Islamists, you have some of these imams, and the populations are growing and growing and growing because of the importation practices of the Democrats. That is you run through the border, you get through, you're in. A lot of this has happened under Democrat administrations and quite frankly weak Republican administrations. And there's no question that that's here with these imams and these so called scholars and professors, the things they say. I've played many clips for you. I could play 10 more, excuse me, 10 times more than I already did. And we will continue to do that. So people are on alert. But we, you, Mr. Mrs. America, we are fighting all angles of this. We are fighting the, the neo fascists. We are fighting the Marxists. We are fighting the Islamists.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

The Democrat party. The Democrat. But look at the Democrat party. They're literally on the same side as

[Mark Levin]

Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly and Bannon and Owens tonight.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

They're on the same side. They're on the same side because they're attacking the President and our war effort, our military. They are on the same side because they are all attacking our American system. Almost all of them are wealthy.

[Mark Levin]

None of them have really contributed much to our country.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

People are following them.

[Mark Levin]

Most of them are not red blooded constitutional conservative Americans.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

I've already explained to you how this

[Mark Levin]

algorithm is working now and how they're really lying to us about their influence and their reach. There is no algorithm for talk radio, just so you know. No algorithm. We know where our audiences are coming from in each and every part of the country. I don't have any idea how many foreign listeners we have. We have a lot, but they're not counted in the ratings.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Same with Fox.

[Mark Levin]

It's a big foreign viewership, but they're

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

able to determine what their ratings are in their listenership in each and every

[Mark Levin]

major city and beyond. What the podcast companies do is they cheat.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

They cheat. They push out advertisements, as I said, in hour one in foreign countries, people

[Mark Levin]

hit the advertisement and then what shows up, Mr. Producer?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

The Tucker Carlson podcast, the Megyn Kelly

[Mark Levin]

podcast, or the, the Bannon podcast or whatever.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And so when they hit those commercials, those podcasts pop up.

[Mark Levin]

I learned all this today and yesterday.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

And so that affects the algorithms. And the algorithms are life and death, life and death.

[Mark Levin]

In other words, how many viewers do you have? How many, how many watchers on your video do you have? And they don't care for calculation purposes, where they're from. They could be from Utah, they could be from Azerbaijan. They're counted the same. And at no time will any of these podcasters tell you where most of their audience comes from. They're not going to tell you. They'll just tell you how big it is and how they're getting bigger. Although some of them are really losing a lot. They're losing a lot of followers, a lot of viewers because they're losing you because you've had enough of them. I'll be right back. Where the show's movie fast. They always do. Please don't forget Liberty's Voice, our great new podcast. We're having a hell of a viewership tonight. Excuse me, Cholera. Viewership today, throughout the day on our program. It's a wonderful program. You can go to Rumble and follow us there, YouTube and subscribe there. It's absolutely free. And you may have questions like, how the hell did the courts get this power? And I'm going to explain it to you. And how did Congress get so powerful? How come nobody ever talks about that? They just sit there. They can pass laws and everything from local bike paths and so forth. That wasn't the way it was supposed to be. So you learn about John Marshall and Thomas Jefferson and Madison and Hamilton and Washington and how this did come to be. And I want to make sure that we do touch on the 250th. That's what we have going on in this country. I have a very exciting announcement, maybe in a month or two as well. But I'll tell you what, I've got more energy, more desire, more spirit about this country and to. And to work with you folks and to talk to you folks and to have you in the audience. I've never been prouder. So check out Liberty's Voice. I think you're going to love it. Our new video podcast. I get things like.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Mark, you're looking good.

[Mark Levin]

What are you doing? I'm just eating less. I'm not doing anything. Well, you look like you're getting good sleep and you're doing. It's funny what people see. You know what, Mr. Producer? It's funny. I do need sleep, though. Yes. I want you to listen to how stupid Hakeem Jeffries is. This is the stupid clip segment of the program because it's Hakeem Jeffries. Listen to this. Cut 11, Mr. Producer.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Go.

[Mark Levin]

And to make matters worse, at the same period of time, they've now gotten

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

us into a reckless war of choice

[Mark Levin]

against Iran.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

You see, for Hakeem Jeffries, who wants to be speaker of the House, when an enemy, a terrorist group that takes over a country, has slaughtered and maimed thousands of Americans, tries to assassinate your president, not once, but twice, tells you that they have, in the last negotiations with them, 11 bombs ready to go in 10 days, 25 bombs ready to go in six weeks. This jackass calls it a war of choice. A war of choice. Has he ever said anything about the 50,000 Iranian people who've been murdered, most of whom are young people? Has he ever said anything about what they're doing to the women and the girls in Iran?

[Advertisement Voice]

Ever?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Does he give a damn? Does he sound like a humanitarian? Not in the least. A war of choice. We're 16 days into this. We've decapitated the regime. Nobody Thought that was possible. Their navy is dead. Nobody thought that was possible. Their air force is non existent. Their ground to air missiles are gone. Their entire missile defense system and radar system is wiped out. We have complete control of the airwaves. They had thousands of ballistic missiles. Most of them are gone. They're shooting what they have left. We're told tonight they cannot even replace them. Why? Because our air force and the Israeli air force has taken out all their factories. We're going to fight to keep over the straits so oil can move through there. We have plenty of oil. But the price of oil goes up because the rest of the world doesn't, including communist China. And these guys want you to believe the cost of the bombs. We could be using that. Using it for what? These spendthrifts, these frauds to redistribute wealth. So illegal aliens have health care so illegal aliens have housing. Redistributed for what? The GAO says every damn year they lose or there's fraud for a quarter of a trillion dollars in government money. The money has never been spent better than on our military, our military equipment, our military ammunition and the men and women who fight for this country. So the Democrats are rooting for the enemy. The woke right neo fascists are rooting for the enemy. The, the Marxists are rooting for the enemy. The Islamists are rooting for the enemy.

[Mark Levin]

And we're rooting for red blooded Americans. Our President and our military, that's the difference. I'll be right back.

[Senator Rick Scott]

the

[Narrator/Producer]

thunder on the right. Call in now. 877-381-3811 we're here with a wonderful senator,

[Mark Levin]

one of my senators from Florida actually. Senator Rick Scott. Senator Scott, welcome. What happened today with the Save America act, in plain English, if you can help us out here.

[Senator Rick Scott]

Well here's the policy. The positive is we started on the bill, they used the, the bill that came over from the House. So it took, it took 50 votes, 51 votes to get on it. We got 51 votes to get on. So now we're doing what we should be doing. We're debating, we're talking about what should happen? Where's the American public? And I, and I, I spoke on this on floor today and say, here's what's nice. While you always think the Senate is so partisan, guess what? The American public on this, they're not. It's not, they're not, they're, they're very bipartisan. Republicans want this, Democrats want this. Independents want this. This is finally something that everybody wants months and so all we're waiting on is for Democrats to come on board. So I think we're headed in the right direction. We're talking about it. Is it still do we still need, here's our choices. We need to either get 60 votes in the end, that's one thing, or we can find a must pass bill to add it to that the Democrats want so that the second choice or third, we're going to have, we're going to have to change the filibuster rules to get this done. The, you know, from my standpoint, the filibuster was always used to stop debate, not, it was not supposed to be used to stop bills. So I think we've got to look at all these options to try to get this passed. We have to figure out how to get this passed. It's going, is it going to be easy? No, it's going to be hard. But guess what? We're up here, we're up here to do what the American public wants us to do. They want voter ID for elections. They want to make sure you US Citizens are registered. That's what they want. We've got to get this done.

[Mark Levin]

You know, it's very odd. The Democrats are putting everything on the line to try and block this. Doesn't this kind of expose them as supporting fraud? I mean, basically this, these are anti fraud requirements.

[Senator Rick Scott]

Oh yeah, they say, oh, it's Jim Crow. But guess what? Everybody, all right, everybody has to have an idea to write. Get on airplane, go to the doctor's office, buy a lottery ticket, all these things. Buy a be, you know, a six pack of beer, the votes, why not have an id so then they say, oh, women, women, they will be married women. They'll never be able to vote. That's complete B.S. like I'm, I'm married. My wife can figure out everything. I've got two adult daughters. They're not going to be limited in their ability to get the vote. All they have to do is, is do an affidavit saying, hey, yeah, I changed my name. Okay, that's it. How's that hard? So then you know, so it's just, It's. They're just liars, the Democrats. They want fraud. The only way to get the win. They are so crazy. The only way they can win is through fraud.

[Mark Levin]

And it's so true. And the only way that they're able to do what they're doing is the media are in their back pocket, aren't they?

[Senator Rick Scott]

Yeah.

[Advertisement Voice]

Yeah.

[Senator Rick Scott]

So.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Yeah.

[Senator Rick Scott]

So just remember Jim Crow was done by Democrats, not Republicans.

[Mark Levin]

Exactly.

[Sebastian Lai]

Right.

[Senator Rick Scott]

When Schumer comes out and says that, why does it, you know, why don't they say, yeah, but your, your party was the one who did it. Yeah, the media. The media doesn't help us ever. But I don't get the media because this is good for them. Right? We all, we, none of us. I don't care what party you are, you want your vote diluted by somebody who doesn't have a right to vote. I don't like Macron. I don't get to vote against him. I don't like Stormer. I don't want, you know, I don't. You know, I don't like Carney. But guess what? I don't get to vote there. You're not a U.S. citizen. You're not voting here. You don't have a right to. This is our country, not your country. So, you know, and you know what the Democrats did? They let all the millions of people in, and now they want them. You know, they think if they can get them, you know, let them vote, they'll vote for them. So that's what this is. That's fraud. Thanks you, man.

[Mark Levin]

Let me ask you something. The midterms coming up, putting aside the political environment, in terms of the number of seats, who has more seats up than the other? Do you know?

[Senator Rick Scott]

Well, we have. We probably have the ones that are at risk. They're targeting four of our seats, right? And so we target that.

[Sebastian Lai]

We have a.

[Senator Rick Scott]

They're targeting Susan Collins in Maine, John Houston in Ohio. You know, Tillis is not running for reelection. So. So it's an open seat there. We got Michael Watley running there. And then they're targeting Dan Sullivan in Alaska. That's what they're targeting. Now, what's our pickup option? John offers there's no reason we shouldn't have two Republican senators in Georgia.

[Mark Levin]

Right.

[Senator Rick Scott]

So we. So it'll be hard, but you think that we. If we get the right governor candidate and they bring out the vote, then, then we have a shot there. We have a shot in Michigan with Mike Rogers. So. But guess what? We have to have something give people reason to vote for us. I mean, we've got to Trump. We got a secure election. Trump, the Trump is doing everything he can. He secured our borders on his own without the help of Congress. Right. I mean, we gave him additional resources, but he did it without any new law. It's like the Democrats said, he's trying to, you know, look at what he's doing in Latin America, look at what he's doing in Iran. He's given people reason to vote for us, but we got to give people a reasonable force. We've got. We've got to get the Trump agenda accomplished. And that's. This is. This is number one on Trump's list. And by the way, you should always. On the Save America Act, Mike Lee is the hero. He's been fighting this forever. He's been up here longer than I have, and he's been fighting to make sure this gets passed for a long time. Ron Johnson has been an unbelievable fighter for this. Mm.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah. No, those are good men there. How's leadership doing? It seems like they finally realized they got to get. Get down and dirty with this.

[Senator Rick Scott]

Well, we started on the boat, as you know, the way, the way it works is the leader gets to decide what we vote on. So we've been talking about this. Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, I've been talking about this for, For a long time. And the public is. Let me tell you, the public is engaged. Every place I go, whether it's a campaign event or whether it's to the grocery store, the barbershop, the first thing everybody says to me is, you've got to pass the Save America act and secure our election. So I think, I think soon sees how important this is. And so we're starting now. We got to, you know, we got to fight like hell. And hopefully, look, the best thing that can happen here and the easiest is Democrats finally say, you know, enough. I'm not going to win my, my election if I don't support something Democrats want, and Democrats all across the country want this. So maybe the Ossoffs, all the Democrats that are up, are going to figure out this is really bad for them. And that's, you know, that's how the Civil Rights act was passed back in the 60s. You know, they had, they, they talked. And eventually the Democrats, you know, they had to come around. So maybe we'll have the same opportunity here. I'm hopeful. I know Mike Lee and Ron Johnson, we're all hopeful.

[Mark Levin]

Let me ask you the last question. What they're doing with the TSA and the Coast Guard and the, the rest of is really defunding internal security for this country. They don't seem like they're going to buckle. What's going on with that?

[Senator Rick Scott]

You know, it's interesting. Think about this. They shut down government last fall. The only reason we got reopened is the FDA workers stopped showing up. So Democrat senators have said, hey, they have, you know, they've got a mortgage. They got, they're getting paid. So Democrat senators all want to get paid, but they don't care that your TSA agents, that make it a safe. Secret Service who protects the president, Coast Guard who's protecting the country, ICE agents protecting the country, other people at Homeland Security, fema, they don't care that these people, they have mortgages they haven't gotten paid. I mean, you look at, you look at how unfair this is. These are people that a lot of these people don't have extra money and they, you know, they didn't get paid last fall for what, some how many days that was. And now the same thing's happening again. How unfair is this? I, you know, I flew on Monday, I guess that was yesterday. And I told the TS agents that, look, I'm sorry, I wish I could do something to make sure you got paid, but, but, but they all got it. They got. The Democrats don't care about them. So I don't, but they don't. But I can tell. What. Democrats don't care. There's no talk to me about it. And there are, you know, Trump put out very reasonable proposals and they never respond.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, no, they, they want to do this as long as they can and blame you guys and they think the press is going to help them. Senator, I want to thank you. You're really a great patriot. You're doing a great job and I appreciate it.

[Senator Rick Scott]

Well, thanks for your friendship. Thank you. What you do every day, you, you're changing the country.

[Mark Levin]

You too, sir. God bless you. He's a good man. Good man. Rick Scott. I'll be right back.

Are you able to play cut 14? Jamie Raskin, who is a cut. Constitutional illiterate, he actually taught constitutional law. I guess he taught it at the University of Moscow. He's really a dumbass. I don't know how to put it. And he's a big red. His father was a big Soviet supporting red. And he's a leading dummy. Crat. Listen to this fool.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Cut 14.

[Mark Levin]

Go.

[Senator Rick Scott]

They've got no program for the country other than disenfranchisement.

[Mark Levin]

So understand requiring a voter ID as disenfranchisement to this nitwit. Go ahead.

[Senator Rick Scott]

Which I think violates the 19th amendment.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

When you tell American women you bring

[Senator Rick Scott]

your driver's license and you bring your.

[Mark Levin]

The 19th amendment, does it violate the 5th and 14th amendment due process calls when you tell women that they have to show an ID to get on a plane, you moron. That's why he won't come in the program. I would eviscerate this guy.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Absolutely.

[Mark Levin]

Up and down. 19th amendment. He pulled that out of his. You know what?

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Now we have Chuck Schumer.

[Mark Levin]

We call him Schmucky Chucky for a reason.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Listen to this one.

[Mark Levin]

Cut 15. Go. Now, Republicans keep calling this voter ID. Democrats support common sense voter ID proposals, but the SAVE act is not a voter ID bill. It is a voter suppression bill. Yeah, that's right. Illegal aliens and others who aren't supposed to be voting don't get to vote. Go ahead. The SAVE act would make it easier to buy an AR15 than to register. They're looking, man. They.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Women can vote. You know, AR15s.

[Mark Levin]

It's discriminatory against black to show a voter ID.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Well, you know what? We had to take their language, go to court and say no voter ID

[Mark Levin]

for booze, for cigarettes, to get on a plane.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Because Chuck Schumer just said it violates the due process clause. This little fool Raskin just said it violates the 19th amendment. So we don't need any ID ever for anything, do we? Because it's racist, it's misogynist, and these people are nuts.

[Mark Levin]

They're unpatriotic, they're anti American. They're all power. That's all they know. All right. Do we have time for calls, Mr. Producer? Okay, we have time for one or two calls. Let's see if we can slip them in. Let's see here. Come on. Come up there.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

Let's go to Steve in Paducah, Kentucky. The Great WKY X go.

[Senator Rick Scott]

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you, sir. You gotta make this quick. I got an opinion. I've got an opinion, and I need to see what you think about it. Yeah. As Ron Scott was saying a while ago, getting rid of the filibusters, controversial. And I know that a lot of Republicans afraid if we get rid of it, whenever the Democrats get back in power, they will take advantage of it and run us into the ground. But my opinion is, if we can pass the SAVE act, we may not have to worry about the Democrats getting back into power for a long time.

[Mark Levin]

Because the vote, only the legitimate vote will cause. Steve, great call. I want to keep going. We have a lot of people, Cheryl, in Los Alamitos, California. Krla, our great affiliate there. Go right ahead, please.

[Advertisement Voice]

Hi, Mark. Mom and I are longtime listeners. My mom is now a 98 year old Holocaust survivor. She wanted to say something to you real quick. Yeah, she just wants to say how much we both love you and admire you and thank you for everything that you're doing for us. And we're just worried that we're gonna, like, lose the midterms if our side of the aisle, this little cabal of podcasters that attack you and attack President Trump and everything that he's doing, doesn't, you know, just either get on the other side of the aisle or just keep their mouths shut.

[Mark Levin]

Well, the good news is President Trump is strong and I'm strong. And these people are Lilliputians. I know this. In five years, most of them won't even have their jobs. They're all disgruntled former employees. Most of them have worked in the media. You got a guy like Alice Jones who's broke and stupid. He can only go so far. You got a guy like Bannon who's covering up his Epstein videotapes with a pillow. He's trying to smother it. He also is a confessed crook. I can go right down the list with these bizarre, buffoonish type people. It's just a matter of time. But I am concerned about the midterms as you are, and give your mama a big hug from me and my family. And it says here your father fought in the Battle of the Bulge. What a fantastic family you have, Cheryl. God bless you, my friend. God bless you. I've got calls here from patriots from all over the country. We're all in agreement. We all back our president, our military. We all want to defeat the enemy. We're all in agreement that what Joe Kent did was outrageous and that the people who platform him are unconscionable and repulsive. Truly repulsive.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]

We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, the men

[Mark Levin]

and women in Ukraine and Israel and Iran, and you, the American people.

[Rich (Co-host or Guest)]
