  • Fervent defense of conservative principles, constitutional order, and the Trump administration.

  • Frequent use of sarcasm, analogies, and pointed rhetorical questions.
  • Personal asides and engagement with his production team.

Conclusion

This episode delivers a comprehensive, forceful examination of new revelations about political abuse of government power, connecting the contemporary Arctic Frost scandal to the legacy of Watergate. Through rigorous critique, interviews, and detailed exposition, Levin warns of an increasingly lawless and ideological left, the danger to civil liberties, and a need for renewed constitutional vigilance.

Key takeaway: Levin and Cruz contend that the current abuses of government power surpass the transgressions of Watergate, with the bureaucratic apparatus politically weaponized against Trump, his allies, and, by extension, all opponents of the ruling left. The stakes, Levin argues, are constitutional order, national security, and the future of American civil society.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here. 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 the leader. Mark Len.

[Mark Levin]

Sam. Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811. Looks like our interview, my interview last evening, 8pm Eastern of and it went pretty viral, I would say. Of Joe Kent has been mentioned in multiple publications and they're not done. There was some very significant information that was learned. Plus I was able to lock him down on a number of issues as well. And I put out a summary that you can read on all our social media sites. Can you read that on our website too, Mr. Producer? Let's put it on there. So you can go to marklevinshow.com for pretty much everything. So I broke down the summary. Now, as you might guess, Lucky Luciano over there at Mediaite, radical left wing kook, he was focusing on something that was mostly irrelevant. But they do these click headlines, you know, really pathetic. And in some of the others, drudge, the Drudge Report, whoever runs it these days knows I despise them. So they ignored it altogether. Some of the papers picked it up, many did not, Fox picked it up, so forth and so on, but it's not because of me, it's because of the substance of it. And I decided to go through it methodically, to go through his letter, to go through his interviews before he came on my program, to go through his allegations, to go through his public record. And I don't think he came off very well. He sounded sane, he was very temperate in the way he spoke. But he sounded like a kook to me, really, with the non stop Israel stuff and the nonstop the. Donald Trump wasn't his own man, effectively, that's what he was saying. Wasn't his own man because he was controlled by Israel and Israelis first term and his second term. I just thought that was so stupid and it was endless. We also got to the point where sadly, I needed to discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk because apparently Joe Kent can't stop conspiring over it. And I talked about Andrew Clovin and the texts. Alex Marlowe was on those texts. I believe others were as well. I think Josh Hammer was. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Doesn't really matter. Those are all good people. And 99.9% of the texting was very positive toward Israel and so forth. And there was a little piece there that was somewhat negative because he was frustrated with donors, certain donors. And that, of course, is what Joe Kent wanted released. Now, Andrew Coben gave those texts to Joe Kent to look at privately, not publicly. I'm not sure why he did that, but I'm sure he didn't expect those to become public. Nobody else really had them and certainly hadn't delivered them to anybody. And Joe Kent told Andrew Clovin that he should release them publicly. And Andrew said, no, he didn't want to do that. And then they were magically released to Candace Owens, who's been on one of her nut job railroad jobs about the Israelis knocking off, murdering Charlie Kirk. And he basically repeated that when he was interviewed by Tucker Carlson. When I pointed that out to him, he was talking about how Charlie had kind of turned on Israel and was opposed to Israel and their desire to attack Iran and so forth and so on. And then he said, and then all of a sudden, Charlie Kirk is assassinated. So the, obviously the inference was that the Israeli government did it. Usually they'll say the Mossad or something like that, which is sick, which is outrageous. So I pressed him on that and that's where he became Mr. Mumbles. And then when I pressed him harder, he said it was classified. Now he's done another interview. A gentleman. I think his Name is Shellenberg. I'm not trying to be rude. I can't remember. I think it's something like that. In which he said that if asked by the defense of the individual who actually murdered Charlie, and I'm not going to use his name, he be prepared to testify in his defense. This is this guy Joe Kent. So he'd be prepared to testify. That would in effect allow Charlie Kirk's killer to potentially get off scot free. This is Joe Kent. This is Joe Kent. And we went on for a while. You can listen to it. I've put it on our social media the entire interview, minus commercials. And of course it's over at Right Scoop, which is a wonderful website and a few others out there that you can listen to as well. There's other stories I know that are being written about it. I was much nicer than I usually am, wasn't I, Mr. Producer? When I usually have somebody on who I think is a fraud and a phony and a conspiracy nut over the years, you know how it works, Mr. And Mrs. America. But I wanted to draw information out of him. I also wanted to lock down his positions, which was, among other things, he's never leaked classified or confidential information. I've been told differently. Multiple news outlets have been told differently by multiple individuals. He said he was not aware if he's under investigation, that is also in several news outlets. And that the investigations were launched. Well before he issued his letter. I asked him why he waited three weeks into the war to issue his anti war letter. His response I thought was quite ridiculous. He was assuming the President would escalate and then de escalate. And I said escalate and de escalate immediately. Who does that? Nobody. There were just other things that didn't make any sense to me. He said there were 18 intel agencies that all agreed with him. And I asked him to name them and he wouldn't name them. He said we don't have enough time. No, we had time. He just didn't know the names of all of them. Plus, he knew I would follow up with those agencies. But we know one of those agencies, the CIA. The Director Radcliffe specifically disagreed with him. And besides, ladies and gentlemen, that's not how this works. The President of the United States is the Commander in Chief. You elected him. I elected him. The American people elected him. He decides what he's going to rely on, whose advice he's going to rely on. He even contacts other countries and their intelligence agencies. I guess Israel for sure, and some of the other Arab countries. He makes a determination if Iran is on its back, if it's the appropriate time to attack, he has access to information that is, that is comprehensive, that a Joe Kent would never have. And of course they said Joe Kent was cut out of the briefings for three or four months. I can't remember if he denied that or not, but it's a fact. And also some of the other issues that were raised. And again, I post the entire interview if you want to check it out. I also posted my summary of it. Now here's the good thing too. For those of you who are avid watchers of video podcasts, I spent today's podcast on Rumble and YouTube discussing this at great length. So I'm not going to do it much further on this program. So if you want a really thorough 40, 45 minute discussion of Joe Kent, what took place and what I think and the highlights, what I see as the discussion, the interview I had with him, you can check it out on our brand new Liberty's Voice video podcast. It's up there right now on Rumble. You can follow us, YouTube, you can subscribe. It's all free. I don't charge anything and I pay for everything. So, you know, it's, may I say kosher, Mr. Producer. So it's utterly and completely independent. Again, Liberty's Voice, we have the links on my social media sites, but you can go to rumble, Liberty's voice, YouTube, Liberty's voice. And it's absolutely free and you might want to check it out and share it with people as well. And it's over at rightscoop, which does a great job, I see. It's over at RealClear. I think it's politics or something like that as well. It's in a lot of places. Just don't waste your time immediate with the leftists. There are a couple of good people over there, but not much else. Not much else. Let's see here. I want to get to some of the other issues of the day. One of the ones I want to get to involves Jack Smith's team secretly sought years of cash Patel's phone records. Jack Smith went after Ted Cruz. It's enormous what this guy did, his phone records and so forth. And they didn't, they didn't reveal it to Ted Cruz when they, when they subpoenaed the phone company to get them because they claimed that Ted Cruz would destroy the records. And Ted Cruz is furious, of course, because he's an attorney and no attorney has any level of ethics, knows under the various rules of professional responsibility. You can't do that. And yet that was the implication. And the judge went along with it. I think it was Boasberg, these Obama judges who are disgusting, these Biden judges who are disgusting. So we're going to get into all that, plus we're going to get into more details, more horrible details about the death of the beautiful young lady, 18 years old, who was going to college, decided to take a walk with her girlfriends, what was said to be a safe area of Chicago, along the water, less than a mile from her college campus, where she was murdered in cold blood for no reason, shot in the head. I think this guy Pritzker is one of the most detestable human beings on the earth. I really do. What he said. He has no compassion. He uses it as a political opportunity to attack Trump. Trump. Pretty outrageous. And of course, he also uses it, the mayor who's a complete fraud and phony is an opportunity to attack Trump. And so it's just all disgusting. 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. treasuries. The problem is the end spending, the endless borrowing, driving up interest rates and driving down the value of the dollar. This is where my trusted friends at Monetary Gold come in.

Always consult your financial and tax advisors before investing. Well, this is a short segment, so we'll be going beyond this. Ted Cruz will be in the program next. Eric, because he's involved in the this too. That is he's a victim. And this is a story as reported by FOX News. Jack Smith team secretly sought years of cash Patel phone records, new documents show this guy Jack Smith should have been working for Iran, for Putin, for xi. In my humble opinion, as I've said from the beginning, the man is nothing but a thug. And somehow, some way, legally, he should be held Accountable. Two subpoenas showed Smith's team as Verizon for Patel's phone records dating from October 2020 through February 2023, writes Ashley Oliver. Former special counsel Jack Smith sought more than two years worth of phone records from now FBI Director Kash Patel while Smith was investigating President Donald Trump, according to a tranche of documents released today by Senator Chuck Grassley. Boy, he and his team do a hell of a job on this stuff. Two subpoenas showed Smith's team asked Verizon for Patel's phone records dating from October 2020 through February 2023. Patel first announced the subpoenas existence in February, calling them outrageous and deeply alarming at the time. Patel worked in the first Trump administration from 2019 through January 2012 before becoming an outspoke pro Trump firebrand, they write as a private citizen, meaning the subpoenas stretched back into his time as a government official. This guy was on a hell of a fishing expedition, wasn't he? Republican members of the House and Senate, individuals who worked for the President but then went into the private sector. Stunning. And you know what he came up with? Nothing. Nothing. Zero. The subpoenas were accompanied by one year court authorized gag orders, meaning Verizon was ordered by the judge not to alert Patel of their existence. It's common for prosecutors to subpoena phone records, also known as toll records, as part of investigations. The records would not include contents of messages, but would show with whom Patel communicated and when. No, it's not common to be going after people who serve the President of the United States. That's not common at all. Grassley released the documents ahead of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing examining Arctic Frost. That was the FBI name for the FBI investigation that led to Smith prosecuting President Trump over the 2020 election. And that was phony. And we've been through that forever. Those three charges were outrageous. He brought it in front of a D.C. grand jury for a reason. The charges that were brought and then moved to Florida were outrageous. And then you had a courageous federal judge, Judge Cannon. Judge Cannon, who ruled that the appointment of Smith was unconstitutional under the appointments clause of the Constitution. And all these lefties and media types and rhinos who say they believe in the Constitution went ape. You know what? But she was right and she had the guts to be a judge and uphold the Constitution. Former attorneys general McCasey and Meese had signed a brief. Of course, the president's people, they sent in a brief and I'm proud to say my alma mater, Landmark Legal foundation, filed a brief and the man who drafted the brief, along with our lawyers, was the number one expert in the world on the appointments clause. It was an open and shut case and his ass was thrown out. I got more when we come back. 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 mines 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. And right now for qualifying accounts, Monetary Gold may even cover your IRA fees for the rest of your life. On your that's a real value if you're moving retirement funds into precious metals.

Don't forget wonderful video podcast today. I'm pressing this because the substance is so interesting and important. I think Liberty's Voice is what we call it on rumble and on YouTube. Easy enough to find. And we have our links on our social media sites as well as my website, marklevinshow.com now let's get back to this. Just to step back a second. What the Biden regime did, I want you to think about this, is they tried to ensnare Republican senators, Republican congressmen, the president who was running for election again, the people who'd been around the president in a massive criminal assault on our political system. Let me be clear. And you left us out there. You can listen slowly. Number one, you are allowed to challenge election results. It's as old as the Republic. Number two, you are allowed to send in a separate list of electors. It's been done twice before. And the reason is when you challenge the list that the state certifies or somebody in the state certifies, if you challenge that list, you have to have your own list or you challenge it for no reason because there's nothing to replace it with. That's not a crime. It has never been a crime. Number three, you are allowed to ask a Secretary of state or an attorney general, whoever is overseeing election results, for recounts or to count to make sure or define votes. Define votes does not mean to create votes. Define votes does not mean to make up votes or to cheat or to commit a crime. To find votes means, have you looked over here? Have you looked over here? Have you looked over here? I mean, for God's sakes, the Democrats have an entire system that they have funded and they built that. After the election, they run around looking for ballots and nursing homes and so forth. They call it ballot harvesting. How can that possibly be legal? When somebody, a candidate, for instance, calls a Secretary of state, say in Georgia and says, can you find more votes? Why is it assumed that means printing up votes or cheating or anything else? It doesn't. And that case fell apart in Georgia as well. All the cases fell apart, all of them. That one that occurred in New York was as corrupt as hell. Stalin would have been proud. The Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran would have been proud. I wonder what the hell the status of that thing is, by the way. But nonetheless, this is Jack Smith, even to the dirty end. Jack Smith wanted to release his report and they went to the judge in Florida and she said, no, ladies and gentlemen, the entire investigation was unconstitutional and he was unconstitutional. We also learned that the Attorney General, United States was behind a whole lot of this. And if I had to guess, so was the deputy Attorney general. She was the real bomb thrower. But they had a lot of bomb throws in there. And this wasn't the first time this was done to Donald Trump. Mueller did it. And this is why he was furious with Mueller. And when Mueller died, he said what he said. And of course, everybody said, you don't say that about the dead. You don't do this, you don't do that. I didn't comment at all, did I, Mr. Producer? Because I understood the President's fury and I understand the President speaks what he says, excuse me, what he believes. So whether you would talk that way or not, I say this to those who are criticizing him. Your life wasn't almost destroyed. Your family's life wasn't almost destroyed. Your presidency wasn't almost destroyed. The millions of millions that were spent, there's so many people whose lives were ruined. What do you do, expect them to send flowers? Then this guy, Charlemagne, the God, not too pretentious, of course, says when Donald Trump dies, there's going to be a whole Mardi Gras, really. Aren't you clever? I never understood this guy, what his appeal is. What's his appeal? You know, spitting out a line like that. No matter what Donald Trump said about Mueller, they would celebrate it. In fact, half of them celebrated the assassination attempt. It didn't take them long, did it? To get back to that's Hitler, that's dictator, that's this, that's that. Did it. No couth, no class. Senator Grassley released the documents ahead of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing examining Arctic Frost, the FBI investigation that led to Smith prosecuting Trump over the 2020 election. Patel was also a known witness in a separate FBI probe into Trump's handling of classified documents. And it's unclear which of the investigations the subpoenas pertain to. Senator Ted Cruz will be on this program in about 40 minutes. He voiced at the start of the hearing what many Republicans have said about the Biden DOJ efforts to investigate Trump. Noting how the expansive probes targeted hundreds of Republican individuals and entities. Hundreds. He said, if Watergate taught us anything, it is that even a single abuse of power carried out by a handful of individuals can shake the foundations of our republic. But we confront today the Biden administration's Arctic Frost scheme is not a single act. It is a modern Watergate. Trading a break in at one office for a digital sweep into approximately 100,000 private communications, more than a dozen senators and thousands of individuals lives. And by the way, that rogue, that rogue January 6th committee. It's funny how the media talk about due process for illegal aliens who beat their wives, but don't due process for anybody that had to face that committee because that committee took its findings and gave it to the. To the other branch, to prosecutors. Backdoor gathering of information without due process, without probable cause. Smith, who became special counsel November 2022, resigned when Trump took office, has since appeared before Congress. Republic and closed door testimony repeatedly defended his work. By the book and apolitical. He's full of crap. This is the guy that went after the Tea Party, as I recall, among other things. Now, the new documents released by Grassley also included material Smith's team prepared for Attorney General Merrick Garland. They noted the FBI's investigative work was going well, that meetings were happening among top FBI and DOJ officials in D.C. federal judges in D.C. meetings with federal judges in D.C. and that Smith was relying on the Democrat led January 6th committee's work to help with his investigation. So Smith was colluding with the January 6th Committee and Vice versa. That Committee was a get Trump Committee. That committee was able to use authorities that Jack Smith would have to. Could not use, had much broader authority for legislative oversight and subpoenas and so forth. And that's why Jack Smith was working very closely with them. So you have two branches in the House and Jack Smith in the executive branch and the Judiciary, three branches working also with the other two. You literally had all three branches of the federal government ganging up against Trump, ganging up against his people, people who work for him and so forth, ganging up against Republican members of the House and the Senate. We have never, ever seen anything like this in American history. And one day somebody will write a very solid, thick book. Not me, not me. About all of this. And it will be a very, very important book at that. So think about this. That took place now, Senator Cruz at the Judiciary Committee hearing today, he outlined the extent of the DOJ and FBI Arctic Frost investigation. And I wanted him to do it in person on the program. And he's kindly agreed to do that. And I believe 720. Is that right, Mr. Medusa? Yeah. So he'll be on then and we'll get into it as we should. And I think one day, Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, that whole cabal, Candace Owens, their role with foreign governments, if any, of course, but especially the case of Guitarlsson, that will need to be examined one day. I don't want to hear free speech and all the rest. They're free to say whatever they want, but there's certain things they're not free to do. One of the questions I wanted to ask Joe Kent, maybe I'll try and get him back. Tucker Carlson put out a video. Put out a video as if he was. If he was a prisoner somewhere. But he tried to get ahead of a story. A story. He confessed that he had text with the Iranian regime. Did he not? Mr. Producer who texts with the Iranian regime. They're the enemy. We just had a military campaign against them in June. They're the enemy. They've killed over a thousand Americans. They're the enemy. They hit our embassies. They hurt Khobar Tower. They blow up our barracks with Marines and sailors and soldiers. They're the enemy. They tried to assassinate our president who has a text communication process with the Iranian government. Now, I don't know what took place, but Tucker Carlson does. Isn't it interesting? He wants Jews to go get DNA tests to prove that they're Jews from a particular. I have an idea. Carlson. Ya rat fink. Yeah, rat fink. I'VE an idea. Just release the texts. In fact, anybody who has texts with the Iranian regime, go ahead and release them. But you in particular, Carlson. Why don't you just release them and let us all read them? You don't text with the enemy that has killed Americans that tried to assassinate our president. You know what he said now? And so many words I don't know. Did we play that Yesterday? I think, Mr. Medusa, about Sharia law and all the rest of it. We didn't. Where is that? Let's see. It's a long one, but we'll have to wait. But we'll have time, trust me. We just don't have time right now. We'll be right back. A meaningful season is approaching for millions of families. A time to reflect on resilience, renewal, and the journey from hardship to hope. For those observing Passover or Easter, it's a moment to gather, to remember where we come from, and to look forward to brighter days. But this year, many in Israel will mark the season under the strain of conflict. Air raid sirens, families racing for shelter, elderly men and women unsure where to turn. Daily life has become tense and unpredictable, and parents do their best to comfort their children through nights filled with uncertainty. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right now, delivering food, emergency aid, supporting bomb shelter, readiness, and caring for vulnerable seniors, including Holocaust survivors. In a season centered on hope and renewal, your support of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews can make a real difference for those facing fear and instability. To lend a hand, please call 888-585-IFCJ. That's 888-585-IFCj. Or visit Levin for the fellowship.org that's L, E V I N for the fellowship.org folks. This is absolutely crucial, and your gift is tax deductible. Oh, my wife found my glasses. Should we tell the entire world where I found your glasses? Okay. Where'd you find. Where did I put it? What's that? Where were they? You seriously want me to share? Was it in the restroom or something? Is that what you're trying to say? In the garage. In the garage? Where? On top of the garage. On the top of the trash can.

[Producer/Announcer]

Exactly.

[Mark Levin]

Because I was going to the mail earlier. Okay. My wife is brilliant. Gorgeous. Hello, America. Hello, America. There she is. And thank you, honey. Now I can see again. Been reading these commercials without my. Without my glasses. And I think it sounds like it, doesn't it, Mr. Producer? Well, let's. Yup. You're supposed to say no, Mark, no. Yup is right though. Here's Tucker on his podcast just a few months ago. Cut 16, go. But you go to the Gulf and it's incredible to be in a place that has pride in itself, that believes in its religion and culture, that thinks we're onto something and this is great. Look at what we're doing. We're really proud of this. Those people are happy, they're welcoming of others. Depending on which Gulf country we're talking about. If you're a woman, you're not happy, you're not. You're not treated with tolerance, you're brutalized, you don't have any rights. Listen to this guy. He trashes our country. What is it with this guy? He interviews person with ties to the Communist Party of China the other day he interviews the president, maybe he's dead by now, of Iran. He interviews the monarchy in this country, in that country over there and that country over there. He interviews the one Jew from Israel who's part of the Arab parties and is a self hating Jew that believes Israel should be destroyed. He's interviewing Holocaust deniers, Third Reich supporters, Churchill haters, Hitler fans and Stalin fans like Fuentes. What kind of a mentally ill, deranged lunatic is this guy? What kind of hell is going on between his ears? Probably between his legs too. But I don't want to go there. But you understand, between his ears. It's crazy. We all know who's watching that stuff. People overseas. 92% of MAGA supports the president and the war in Iran. Does it get any higher than that? At one point it was 100%. Six percent. Stand with Tucker and company. Go ahead, city. Right.

[Joe Kent]

Tolerant of diversity.

[Mark Levin]

There's none of that here.

[Joe Kent]

Are you kidding?

[Mark Levin]

Tolerant of diversity. Are the Arab slash Muslim countries tolerant of diversity? Which one? Do you know Egypt used to be a majority Coptic Christian country. Now it's 10 or 15% of the population. Did you know that? Do you know tens of thousands of Jews used to live in Syria? Not anymore. Do you know Lebanon was a majority Christian country. Now it's about one third Christian. Hello. Hello. And I can go on and on and on. And of course we need a two state solution that'll fix everything when it has nothing to do with the ideology the Islamists who want to destroy. Do we need a two state solution in America? They want to blow us off the face. They are two state solution, two state shmulution. So I have no tolerance for guys like this. For Joe Kent, who really knows better. But something happened. Maybe it's his second wife who works for this radical left wing Max Blumenthal. Used to, I don't know. But they're not all there. That much I know. Do I owe you something, Mr. Medusa? Good. Next hour we'll have Ted Cruz with us, but go ahead. We love black people. Then they run and move to Bozeman because they're no black people.

[Producer/Announcer]

Absolutely.

[Mark Levin]

Where you move to, where there's no black people, Certainly in the part of Maine where you. Where you move to. I don't even think there's. Never mind. Go ahead. Hate diversity. They hate it.

[Joe Kent]

And it.

[Mark Levin]

Our version of it isn't working. By the way, who's the moron with him? Do you know, Mr. I couldn't figure that out. Probably the guy down the street. Probably some random guy. It's a guy who lives in a

[Joe Kent]

bubble

[Mark Levin]

talking about, hey, diversity. Well, if you love those countries, then get off your ass and move there. Lunatic. I think you were building a house in Qatar. This guy was born with money.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here. 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. Hello, America.

[Mark Levin]

Mark Levin Here, our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-38111. Senator Ted Cruz. I call him Mr. Conservative of the Senate. Be in the program in a few minutes. At least he's scheduled to be to discuss these new findings about Jack Smith and the massive violation of civil liberties against Republicans. From the President on down, the question isn't whose civil liberties did he violate? The question is whose civil liberties didn't he violate? This is a very, very thuggish man, I can tell you. You know, history is unfolding right before our eyes. The President of the United States has delivered an unbelievable 14 months, unbelievable, historic, iconic, restored strength of the country, confidence in the country, our military, our border shut. Things the Democrats tried to destroy and he's fixing, quite frankly. And he needs our support. The President needs the support of the people, millions and millions and millions of us. So it depends on millions of informed, engaged citizens who are willing to stand up for faith, family and freedom. That's you. There's more work to be done and that's where you come in. You can join amac, the association of Mature American Citizens. Unlike other senior groups, AMAC is built around the values we all hold dear. And members receive trusted news, outstanding AMAC magazine, money saving, discounts on travel and insurance, and much more. Right now, you can join for five years for only $47. That's a fitting way to be part of an organization and support your values. It's also a great price. Just go to amac.us levin, a m a c us levin. Join the association of Mature American Citizens today and be part of the solution. Oh, yes, we'll never forget them, will we, Mr. Producer? Mr. Producer is either sleeping, eating or he's disinterested. But in any event, I want you to listen to Chris Van Hollen. He's one of the most loathsome. He, the whole bunch of them. Pritzker, this guy, this guy Chris Murphy, Newscomb. They're just so low. They're in competition for being the lowest of the low. They're just horrendous human beings. They really are horrendous human beings. This guy, Chris Van Hollen is married to a radical kook. I think she's an Islamist, but I could be wrong, but I think I'm right. But he's just a vile, vile individual and he knows he runs in Maryland. He'll never lose as long as he's a Democrat. That's the problem with these dark blue states. They send us people like Chris Van Hollen. Chris Van Hollen couldn't make it anywhere else in life, not any of the business or in labor or anything else. Couldn't make it. He's a lightweight. So here he is on cnn, the constipated news network. Hopefully that'll all be turned inside out and fixed and the people are threatening to resign, will leave or have their asses kicked out of there so they can try and breathe some life back into the place. Cut 15. Go put that to you. Who do you think is telling the truth?

[Joe Kent]

Casey? Unfortunately, we've learned that Donald Trump has been lying to the American people from the start and he keeps lying to the American people, which is never a good. So you believe the Iranian officials over

[Mark Levin]

the President of the United States?

[Joe Kent]

I believe that based on all the information that's available and Donald Trump's track record of lying, including the big lie which he told the American people during the campaign, that he was going to keep us out of War in the Middle East. He broke that promise. He lied about Iran being an imminent threat. The United States and Israel launched this strike. He lied about Iran being on the precipice of getting a nuclear weapon. We know that because Tulsi Gabbard.

[Mark Levin]

He sounds like Joe Kent, doesn't he, Rich? In fact, Joe Kent sounds like him. I'm not going to let this guy go on and on this Van Hollen. If Van Hollen had his way, we would have suicide nuclear bombers. He should be nowhere near the Senate, nowhere near Capitol Hill. He should be nowhere near any place that has any governing authority over any corner of this country. Lying about this, lying about this, lying about this. These Democrats, they're all saying the same thing. Because they want the Obama plan. Because. Because they supported Biden, who lifted all the sanctions and made sure over $100 billion poured into Iran. The Obama plan, as I mentioned, ensured that right now Iran would likely have nuclear weapons. And then they go on. Trump lied. Trump lied. Trump didn't lie about a damn thing. This isn't a forever war. Peace through strength. What is Mr. Low IQ in the negatives? What does he think peace through strength actually means? So he says he believes the Iranians. He doesn't believe Trump. Mr. Producer, will you try and get this Van Hollen on the show? I'm quite serious. We want to discuss Iran with him. I do. I very much do. Again, we have standards here. No Nazis. No Nazis. So that would, you know, be a problem for some of the cabal. But we don't. We don't put Nazis on this. We have to have some level of sanity. And no fascists. No fascists, no Nazis. Why is that a tough one? In other words, no Hitler types, no Stalin types, people who deny the Holocaust, there's no reason to bring them on because they're liars. They're liars. People are always looking to make a headline. No, that's not what I'm about. No real substantive debates. This guy's a senator. I would like to have him on the show to interview him, and I would play this audio for him, and then he and I can talk about it. He and I can talk about it. He's convinced that there was no imminent threat and Iran was not on the precipice of getting nuclear weapons. And so that's fine by him. Everything's okay. Let me ask you folks a question. Is that if he's right and he's wrong, but if he's right, is that the determining factor? What if they have ballistic Missiles that can reach our country. They would very soon. Are we supposed to wait? And how do we calibrate that to the right day and week and month? We can't. Intelligence can only take you so far. You got to use human common sense. That's why we have a president. So I have a lot of questions for this clown. I mean, for this Senator Van Hollen. I really do. We will see if we can get him on. I don't. I won't hold my breath, but I'd be more than happy to talk to him. You know, the way we talk to other people of this sort. Other people? This sort. We talked about doj, the FBI, and Senator Cruz. One of the things I don't like is when people take an oath and they're read into secret programs and they leak classified information. That's a crime under the Espionage Act. Now, Joe, Ken is accused of this. I pressed him on this. Here's how it won. Cut 19. Go. We got semaphore. We got Axios. We got the New York Post. We got on and on and on saying that you were considered a leaker. We have the White House saying it. Were you a leaker? Are you under investigation? Do you know whether you're under investigation? Let's try and clear the air. Right. Right at the beginning.

[Joe Kent]

Sure. Mark. Thanks for having me on. I never leaked any classified information. And the stories you're reading are stories from leakers who are leaking. I guess that may be an investigation about me being a leaker. So I think it's just immediate counter narrative.

[Mark Levin]

I had. So nobody has contacted you from justice or the FBI or anything like that?

[Joe Kent]

Nope.

[Mark Levin]

Did you ever leak. Confident. Let me do it this way. Did you ever leak classified information? You said no. Did you ever leak confidential information?

[Joe Kent]

Nope.

[Mark Levin]

Never.

[Joe Kent]

Never.

[Mark Levin]

Will you cut out?

[Joe Kent]

We.

[Mark Levin]

Okay, you're on the record. That's perfectly fine. And that's a good thing, Joe? Yes, it's a good thing. He's on the record now. Charlie Kirk. Cut 23. Go. But I was just wondering, this statement here, because a lot of Jewish groups and others said you were really focusing in on Israel. And you're telling me no, not at all. It could be any foreign country. Correct.

[Joe Kent]

In my statement, my letter of resignation, I say that the Israelis forced President Trump into this war.

[Mark Levin]

I'm talking about this, that you said on Carlson's show when one president, closest advisors, who's vocally advocating for us not to go to war with Iran and for us to rethink at least our relationship with The Israelis and then he's suddenly publicly assassinated. We're not allowed to ask questions about that. It's a data point. What's the data point?

[Joe Kent]

The data point is that the investigation, in my view, especially the foreign ties, has not been complete. And that.

[Mark Levin]

Why did you bring up the Israelis there? Are you talking about. What are you talking about there? Botswana? I mean, what are you thinking about when you say that? We're just curious. Just ask a question.

[Joe Kent]

That Charlie was advocating for us not to go to war with Iran and to rethink our relationship with the Israelis. And then he is killed. This. This needs to be looked into. That's all. That's all I can say.

[Mark Levin]

And he later says he can't say more because it's classified or he was insinuating was Israel that may have been involved in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. That's why that statement that he gave to Katarlson was the way he said it, that Charlie Kirk was suddenly assassinated after he voiced concern in texts about Israel. We'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

You know, folks, I've been working with Pure Talk for six years now. Boy, time flies. I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values. PureTalk is a veteran led company, so helping veterans is their North Star. They've donated over half a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, a fantastic organization that is on the front lines of helping to prevent veteran suicide. And Pure Talk's creating American jobs with a US only workforce. Sure to be a lot cheaper to send jobs overseas like other companies do, but they're committed to deliver the best experience possible for their customers here in the United States. And yes, I love Pure Talk service. They give you the same towers, Same network, same 5G coverage as one of the big guys, but for a fraction of the price. And I choose to do business with a company that shares my values. Your value? Helping support veterans every single day and creating American jobs. How about you go to PureTalk.com lavim to switch to PureTalk. That's PureTalk.com L E V I N to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, Pure Talk. We're here with our friend Senator Ted Cruz. Ted, welcome. So what was revealed today about Jack Smith and his operation,

[Joe Kent]

the sheer scope of it. I chaired a hearing today in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Arctic Frost. And how by any measure, it is orders of magnitude worse than Watergate. But Watergate was a failed burglary by some hapless Cubans that tried to break into the DNC offices. They did not succeed. And the consequence of Watergate? The President resigned in disgrace and some 40 people were prosecuted and many of them went to jail. By any measure, what Jack Smith did is qualitatively worse. He issued subpoenas TO More than 20% of the Republicans in the United States Senate. He got a judge to issue illegal non disclosure orders. He issued nearly 200 subpoenas to almost the entirety of the conservative world, the conservative organizations that had nothing to do with his investigation. And it was a pure fishing expedition targeting his political opponents. He also wiretapped Susie Wiles, who was then the campaign manager for President Trump. He wiretapped Cash Patel, who was a private citizen at the time. It was a full on brazen attempt to use the machinery of the Department of Justice and the FBI to target and go after their political opponents and to defeat them. Now, unlike Watergate, which was orchestrated by some clowns who had been in the CIA and then were in the White House, this was signed off personally by the Attorney General of the United States, by the Deputy Attorney General of the United States and the Director of the FBI. They personally signed off on targeting the President and everyone around him. And you know the big difference, Mark? When Watergate happened, at the end of the day, there were a number of Republican senators who said, this is wrong. This is an abuse of power. And they went 16 blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Oval Office and they told Richard Nixon, either you resign or we will impeach and remove you from office. That's what happened then, is Republicans stood up for the rule of law. You know what's amazing? Not a single Democrat, not one in the House or Senate has said even a peep about this brazen abuse of power.

[Mark Levin]

It's an incredible thing, isn't it, Ted? In other words, the Democrat Party is not a normal small d Democratic party. That is, it really is power hungry. It's really borrowing the practices and tools of the Marxists. And I mean this quite seriously. I wrote a whole book on this and they have no problem with violating your civil liberties and so forth. Tell me about the judges who would have signed off of subpoenas like this.

[Joe Kent]

Well, the most disgraceful was Judge Boasberg, who was the lead judge. We also discovered in what was revealed today, the Senate Judiciary Committee revealed documents that Jack Smith conferred with Judge Boasberg on legal strategy. So this guy, I've called for Judge Boasberg to be impeached because he signed order after order after order, concluding as a factual and legal matter that if Senators were disclosed the subpoena that we would destroy evidence. Now, I was one of those. And as I asked the Democrat witness who gave this ode to integrity of the FBI and doj, I said, what the hell basis of law was there for the judge to sign this? And here's what Judge Bosebert, he signed a statement concluding that we would destroy evidence if we were informed. And even the Democrat witness had to conclude there is zero evidence for that. Not only that, it is prohibited by law. And yet nonetheless, Boasberg was happy to sign off.

[Mark Levin]

This is the same guy that has done so many things to try and sabotage President Trump's agenda. He's been slapped down from time to time, but it's a man like him should never be a federal judge, any kind of federal judge. Is anybody going to file ethics complaints against him? I guess the Democrats control that process too, but what the hell.

[Joe Kent]

Yeah, look, I think it is a clear ethical violation. By the way, the non disclosure orders that he signed are also directly contrary to federal statute. Federal statute prohibits a non disclosure order on a subpoena to anyone in the Senate. And yet he just ignored federal law. Although to be honest, the Department of Justice ignored federal law. As I got the Democrat witness to admit it is a virtual certainty the Department of Justice didn't inform the judge that they were asking him to violate clear federal law and issue illegal orders. Look, this is about power and it's the only thing they care about. I'll tell you. We were sitting in the Senate Judiciary Committee and I turned to my colleagues on the Democrat side of the aisle and I said, what would you guys think if the Trump Department of Justice issued a subpoena for the phone records of every single Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee? And I named each of the Democrats sitting there, Sheldon Whitehouse and Dick Durbin and Mazie Hirono and Alex Padilla. And I said, you guys would be losing your ever loving minds. You would be lighting your hair on fire, you would be screaming. The Senate would grind to a halt.

[Mark Levin]

And by which they always do anyway.

[Joe Kent]

Yeah, and the corrupt corporate media would be treating it. Look, to this day, Watergate gate is attached to anything is a scandal. And it was a stupid little burglary. Now look, it was corrupt, it was wrong. But I don't make an argument that it was even 1/100 as serious as this abuse of power. And the Democrats, when I asked them, would they think it's okay if, if the Trump DOJ subpoenaed every one of their phone records, not a one of them would answer. They just stare straight ahead. We've got our talking points. We hate Trump. That's all we have to say.

[Mark Levin]

Is there anything that could be done to Jack Smith?

[Joe Kent]

Sure, he could be. He could have ethics complaints filed against him and he could be prosecuted if he made deliberate misstatements. I think all of that needs to be looked at very, very closely. I'd like to start with the House impeaching, judge bother.

[Mark Levin]

All right, my friend, good luck to you. Thank you for bringing this out to the rest of the world.

[Joe Kent]

God bless.

[Mark Levin]

God bless. We'll be right back. You know, folks, I've been working with Pure Talk for six years now. Boy, time flies. I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values.

Mark Levin, America's passionately cerebral voice. Talk with that voice now. 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

You know, you go from one low life to the other. You go from Pritzker to Van Hollen. And then there's Newscombe who's destroyed his own state. He's destroyed his own state. Really the greatest of all the states. Nobody wants to really go to California anymore unless they're there to enjoy the weather, the ocean, they like to hike, they like nature. But other than that, who the hell wants to go to a place where you can't get water and fire hydrant if there's a fire in your neighborhood and you can't put the fire out. And that's just the beginning of it. You send your kids to school and they don't learn really what they need to survive. They learn left wing crap. Indoctrinated. It's not safe anymore. Streets are filthy. It's what the Democrats do. Then they say elect us. Affordability. Can't afford the Democrats. But I want you to listen to this guy. Now. He's really playing hard to the Marxist, Islamist violent base of the Democrat Party. Listen to this clown. Cut 17. Go. Right now, we have to put a mirror up to the absurdity of the President of the United States dressing up as the Pope, cosplaying as Superman, putting his face. What is he even talking about there? First of all, when's the last time he actually did something positive for his state? He's been running for president for like, five years. When he got in front of a serious, serious opponent just in a debate, Desantis kicked his ass. And DeSantis told Hannity the other night that they agreed to debate even longer, but his handler said, no, it's time to go and pull him away. Go ahead. Attacking and belittling communities and minorities. I don't wake up every day to try to find, you know, a crowbar to put in the spokes of his wheel. I don't. That said, I'm going to say, yes, you do. You wake up every day trying to show that you're a big, tough guy when you're a weasel. You have a record to prove it. No, he doesn't. He doesn't wake up every day thinking about this group or that group. Yes, he does. He thinks about group politics all the time. That's all he does. Go ahead. The backs of our diverse communities, and we're going to fight back. And, yeah, fight fire with fire. And I know two wrongs don't make a right, but we, with all due respect, we'll lose this country as we try to win that argument. We're going to lose the country under Trump. How are we going to lose the country under Trump? You know what he's really angry about? Trump secured the border. Trump supports law enforcement. Trump supports ice. He's really angry also that he's a complete and other failure. So he's trying to distract and he's trying to throw around a shiny object, but he's a disgrace. Go ahead. Are constantly trying to be right. The other side is ruthless. And with respect, my party needs to be more ruthless about winning because if we don't win back the House of Representatives, we may not have a fair and free election in 2028. And I really believe that. And you know what? This is what stokes the trouble. He's trying desperately, desperately to be a tough guy. He. And you watch this Guy Pritzker. They're trying to outdo each other. You're never going to get a moderate Democrat out of this crowd. You're just not. Because they're all moving hard left. They're actually moving to a violent left. To a violent left. I think the nomination really, I think the nomination in the Democrat Party is up to somebody who's a moderate. I really do. I really do. A moderate who has a record of actually accomplishing some things. Because all these phony moderates, they run as moderates and they move hard left. The worst of them is the governor of Virginia. The governor of Virginia. Another one is the senator from Michigan. Slotkin lied her way into office. She was, I think, intelligence, the governor, CIA in Virginia. They waved that around like they're really tough and hardcore and so forth. And then they run as moderates. So they run in as wolves in sheep clothing. And they are complete disasters. Complete disasters. This guy has a record and his record stinks. And so he really sounds tough, doesn't he? Really tough. Yeah. We got to get tougher. They're ruthless. We got a Rick Ruther otherwise, you know, 2028. We want to have a country. We don't have a country. What do they mean we won't have a country? They import Islamists, they import Marxists, they import terrorists, criminals, welfare recipients, medical care recipients. They don't care. People are educated, uneducated, criminal, non criminal. They're out there defending every single one of them. Now they won't work with the federal government to support even the worst of the worst. Americans are getting murdered in cold blood. If you like that, then you like the Democrats. This is who they are. You got TSA that's not getting paid. It's Trump who's come up with a solution by moving ice in there. But the Republicans keep voting. And there's Schumer hunched over like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. There he is, hunched over with his chart saying they voted eight times to open the tsa. No, they didn't. The only way they would vote to fund the TSA is that the Republicans went along with these outrageous attacks on ice. But it's not just the tsa. What about the Coast Guard? What about fema? What about the Secret Service? Why should those people go unpaid? Horrendous party with horrendous people. It really is disgusting. Mark Wayne Mullen was sworn in as the new head of DHS. Cut three, Mr. Producer, go.

The Democrats in Congress do not care how much American blood they shed in their demented Pursuit of open borders. From Sheridan Gorman to Jocelyn Nungree and Lake and Riley, their quest to flood our country with illegal aliens has left countless American victims in its wake. They never changed to. They see what's happening. They never change. That's what they want. They want to get the votes with sanctuary and sanctuary cities going at levels that they are. And we've ended a lot, we've done a lot, but for some reason, they love it. It's a sanctuary. You know, sanctuary cities are sanctuary. It's really a sanctuary for criminals.

[Mark Levin]

Sanctuary cities are so unconstitutional, but it's in keeping with their Confederacy mentality as they try and claim that a city and a state can declare their independence on certain issues from the federal government. We fought a civil war over this, but they don't care. They don't care. Listen to Chuck Schumer. He's been around forever. Guy's never held a private sector job. He gets out of law school, he gets elected to the New York assembly, then he gets elected to the House of Representatives, then he gets elected to the Senate. This is all he knows. Conniving, sleazing, plotting. Listen to this idiot. Cut six, go. This is how authoritarians turn law enforcement into intimidation forces. This is why Democrats are so intent on raining ice in the disease of undermining. Do we have to hear this crap? Really? Really? We remember the riots in the 1970s at the DNC Democrat National Committee Convention. Those were Democrats. Remember the Democrats, Bull Connor and the rest of them. Republicans don't do this. We support law and order, law enforcement against criminals. We cannot allow them to get away with this, folks. We cannot allow them to get away with it. Why is it that all these governors are always trying to sign laws that allow felons, I don't mean former felons, current felons in prison to vote. Why is that? Never thought about that. Why do they want open borders? Because it helps Republicans. Why don't they want to deport illegal aliens? Because it helps Republicans. Why do they want to destroy ice? Because it helps Republicans. Everything they do. If you look at it properly through the lens of empowering the Democrat Party, then you'll understand what's going on. As I've said, like communist parties all over the world, the party comes first. If the country goes to hell, that's fine. They want the power, they want the resources. They want to be able to fund their buddies, their political, you know, communities and their political base. That's all they care about. And that's all Schumer cares about. He wants to be majority leader. Why? Because I have all this power. That's it. That's all. Go ahead, please. In the right wing of the Republican Party and it seems they'll use any means so the right to achieve. So the right wing of the Republican Party is that part of the Republican Party that supports law enforcement and wants to fund the tsa? That's the right wing of the Republican Party. Sick. These people get more extreme and more radical by the hour. You hear what they say. Whether it's Newscomb or Pritzker or Van Hollen or Schumer, there's not a single one of them that has common sense. None. They are hardcore left. We'll be right back. You know, folks, I've been working with Pure Talk for six years now. Boy, time flies. I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values. Pure Talk is a veteran led company, so helping veterans is their North Star. They've donated over half a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, a fantastic organization that is on the front lines of helping to prevent veteran suicide. And Pure Talks. Creating American jobs with a US only workforce. Sure to be a lot cheaper to send jobs overseas like other companies do. But they're committed to delivering the best experience possible for their customers here in the United States. And yes, I love Pure Talk service. They give you the same towers, Same network, same 5G coverage is one of the big guys, but for a fraction of the price. And I choose to do business with a company that shares my values. Your value. Helping support veterans every single day and creating American jobs. How about you go to PureTalk.com lavim to switch to Pure Talk. That's PureTalk.com Levin to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, Pure Talk. Don't forget Liberty's Voice. The most talked about the video podcast right now, brand new just for you. Hey, that rhymes. Anyway, you can watch it on YouTube for free. You can watch it on Rumble for free. We've got all the links up on marklevinshow.com on X, on Truth, Social, everywhere you can imagine. Where else do we have in Mr. Producer? Don't we have it on a whole bunch of platforms? The links? I think we do. Okay. I mean ones that people actually use. I think we have it on. Well, check them out. We're almost everywhere actually. Yeah, Instagram, TikTok, all those and. But then again, you can go directly to YouTube or rumble. YouTube or rumble. Very simple. And this one in particular I think is fairly compelling. Oh, oh, America. Well, looks like we have neocons and warmongers, Mr. Producer. Neo cons and warmongers. Saudi Arabia's crown prince is pushing our administration to keep fighting Iran to put boots on the ground. Too bad Joe Kent's not here tonight to ask about that because he got stuck on the word Israel. Israel. I get a pain in my neck. Israel. I don't like my job. Israel. I don't. Israel. Israel. Anyway, Saudi Arabia's crown prince is pushing Trump to keep fighting in Iran and put boots on the ground. By the way, I don't know where I stand on all this negotiation stuff. It'll all depend on what the points are, obviously. But the key point is they lie and cheat. And these fundamentalists believe that that is part of the process for achieving what they want to achieve, which is world dominance. So how do you monitor something with people who lie and cheat in a country that's bigger than Alaska? And so that, to me, is going to be the big issue. Nuclear weapons? Yes. Ballistic missiles. Yes. Terrorist activities. Yes. But how are the people going to be protected there, the Persian people? Is that a big deal, too, Mr. Producer? You would think so. I'll be curious to know how that's going to be handled as well. So we will see. We'll see. Well, I don't know. And then there's a report that the. I'm just telling you the news that the Iranians do not want to negotiate with the two envoys, Kushner and Witkoff, you know who they wanted to negotiate with? Vance. Why would that be, Mr. Producer? I don't know. Why would that be? They want to negotiate with J.D. vance, our vice president. They do not want to negotiate with Witkoff or Kushner. Now, I have to say this. Witkoff and Kushner were really good in the last round, and they informed the President what was taking place. And of course, the Iranians are upset about that. Like we give a damn that they're upset about anything. But according to this report from the Christian Broadcasting Network, which I love, by the way, I love cbn. They've been very generous to me when I've been in Israel, using their facilities to broadcast as an example. They have a great team over there, just. Just lovely people. And they're the ones reporting it as is, I think. Channel 14, I think so. The power hours next hour three. We'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. 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. 888585 IFCJ. That's 888585 IFCJ or online at levin for the fellowship.org that's L E V I N for the fellowship.org he's here.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here now. Broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under 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, 8773-8181-1877-3813-811. I'll keep an open mind. We will see eventually what it is the enemy is willing to do because the enemy is all but destroyed. The issue is always when you defeat a country's military in a war, what comes next. And you just want to make sure what comes next is not, doesn't undermine everything that's been accomplished. It's been a spectacular military operation. So you don't want to lose it at the end. I think we're very lucky to have President Trump as the commander in chief. If we had Biden or Obama, we wouldn't even get to this point. Saudi Arabia's crown prince pushing Trump to keep fighting Iran. Put boots on the ground. Report says this is the Times of Israel. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been urging the president to continue the war against Iran, the New York Times reported, citing people briefed by American officials. I hate these leakers. I can't stand these leakers. Now, that said, that said, are you going to hear the Joe Kent's of the world and the Tucker Carlson's of the world say warmonger and neocon? The Crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman must have some level of Jew blood, don't you think? I don't think they'll say that, do you? Ben Salman has spoken to the president several times over the past week, pushing the president to keep fighting until the regime in Iran is toppled, according to the report. By the way, is there something wrong with that? I love when people say here for regime change. Yeah, yeah. If they're, you know, they want nuclear weapons to bloss off the face there, that's, that's the way it works. You don't send your military just to destroy another military. You send your military to destroy the people who are in charge of the military. That includes the civilian and military leaders. Right. But again, I'm concerned about the Persian people, the people of Iran, effectively. The regime leaders stay in, whether it's third level, 12th level, whatever it is, and they're willing to work with us, but they're still slaughtering their own people. To me, that's not acceptable. If they're still slaughtering their own people, to me, that is not acceptable, period. Just remember how this started. It didn't start. It didn't start. Excuse me, over nukes. It started over. We're coming to help you, the people who are protesting. So that's important to remember that. According to the Times, New York Slimes bin Salman fears a failed Iranian state with military factions continuing to strike the kingdom. I'm sure every country in that neighborhood feels that way. And now they're trying to figure out if they should all strike back, by the way, together against Iran. They're trying to make that decision. Saudi Arabia, the uae, other countries there are considering joining the US In Israeli strikes against Iran. Can you imagine that? America, you have the United States and Israel joined by Saudi Arabia, the uae, other Gulf Arab countries attacking Iran. I mean, that's even bigger than the Abraham Accords. I mean, it really is. What's taking place there is very important. Now, the Iranian regime keeps using its ballistic missiles with cluster bombs. Cluster bomb munitions are illegal under international law. It's a war crime. It's a war crime. In addition, the regime, I guess, that we're talking to is still hanging minors, children still raping the girls, still torturing people. Why don't they show a little bit of goodwill and stop? Why don't they do that? Now, the president has talked about

[Producer/Announcer]

this

[Mark Levin]

guy, Mohammed Bagar Galopoff. He's the parliamentary speaker. The guy's a crook. The guy has been involved in all these abuses of their people there. And so the question is whether this is a good idea, whether this is the guy to talk to. So we shall see. The ambassador to the United States from Israel, Leiter, who's a very good guy. We've met him many times. Well, enough times. He says he's no moderate. In fact, our intelligence says he's no moderate either. He's a hardliner. So the problem here is, if you have this hardliner in, he's not going to get rid of, you know, the bad actors. They'll try and wait out the President. They'll try and get somebody like a Van Hollen or Chris Murphy or Newscomb or Pritzker as President of the United States. And of course, that means they can go back to doing whatever they want, because that's the position of the Democrat Party. Who cares if 50,000 Iranians are slaughtered? That's pretty much been their position. They wring their hands and then they turn their backs. None of this would be going on without President Trump. None of this would be going on with our fantastic military and intelligence services. And none of this would be going on without the great prime Minister of Israel, their tremendous intelligence services and military as well. We know this because the President has said so, Hegseth has said so. They've all said so. And there's Britain sitting on its ass, getting chewed up by Islamists, most of them coming out of Pakistan, their children being raped, their society being destroyed. They have less fighter jets than Israel. There's France, already conquered by the same element. By the same element. They have less fighter jets than Israel. Crazy. And that's most of Europe, Germany. Israel has more fighter jets than Germany. And it's just sad. And of course, that effort is underway in our country. You know, the same left, you know, the left in Europe that allowed this to happen. The left in the United States did this too, under Biden. They did it earlier under Obama, but they've done it under Biden. They throw around, deported. They just lie, lie. So we ignore that. We can't even keep up with their lies. They're arsonists. They. They set fires. They set fires. Then they pretend that they're with the fire department. That's who they really are. Anything for power. And since homegrown Americans, not all, of course, but too many to suit. The Democrats want nothing of what the Democrats are pushing. They have to change the population. So what do they do? They add to it. You got 20 million illegal aliens. They have children, birthright citizenship. Then you got 60 million, 70 million. You see how it works? 90% of whom will be Democrats because they thank the Democrat Party, the vast majority of whom don't even know anything. About the Constitution in our history because they're not taught about it. The only thing they hear about is redistribution of wealth, food stamps, welfare, free health care, free education. That's not what the country was founded on. So they have no God star, no North Star, because it's not taught to them. Because the left doesn't want assimilation. Bernie Sanders doesn't want assimilation. He wants destruction of the existing society. So of course he doesn't want people to assimilate into it. I use him as an example. But that goes for the vast majority of the Democrat Party. They don't want assimilation because they don't want this society. And then we import people who don't want assimilation because the Islamist radical ideology is assimilate no conquer. We hear this from the clerics, the imams, the scholars, the professors and the mouthpieces on the Internet and in podcasting. We'll be right back.

Start filing today in the Credit Karma app. Financial Post. JP Morgan sees national security risk in the old grid networks. I think I've been covering that for 25 years and it's a serious problem. Run down US infrastructure is vulnerable to extreme weather and cyber attacks posing a grave threat or a growing threat, writes Bloomberg News Alistair Marsh and I'm glad Alistair Marsh has focused on this. It is a big problem and of course everybody will be up in arms if the problem becomes a reality and it metastasizes a complete and utter disaster waiting to happen. And of course our enemies, you know, as this AI technology gets better and better and more and more sophisticated, they'll be able to hit this, this grid. And right now we could protect the entire grid for about $10 billion. Mr. President, it is $10 billion. JP Morgan Chase and company says aging rundown grid infrastructure now risks undermining security goals with everything from extreme weather to cyber attacks posing a growing threat. The Wall street bank, which laid out its analysis and report seen by Bloomberg, describes the current decades old grid network as a national security risk. That it certainly is gets that backdrop. Investments that make grid infrastructure more resilient are becoming increasingly attractive. Yeah, well you got to put them in place. That is the protections the Comments come as investors, policymakers and consumers struggle to keep up with the daily shocks playing out in energy markets as a result of the Iran war. You know, I'm, you know, some of you are going to get very mad at me. I'm appalled by this. Has the price of gasoline gone up? Yes. Are average families feeling the pinch? Yes. But ladies and gentlemen, think about the cost of nuclear missiles fired into our country. I mean seriously, that's the trade off. And don't listen to Democrat politicians that tell you this isn't imminent because Democrat politicians helped fund Iran and helped created the imminent nature of the threat. That's why they're never going to say the threat is imminent, because they helped do it. That's why Obama and Biden, they helped make it imminent. All of that adds up to major tailwinds for grid investments, says JP Morgan. It's a massive investment opportunity. Well, that's all well and good, but we need to get to the job of protecting the grid. There's no question about that. They collect fees advising utilities and so forth. Alright, that doesn't mean it's a conflict of interest in the United States. Part of the challenge is that we have a national highway system that is federally managed and organized. But for the grid, each state or city has built power to serve its customers. And so it's a patchwork. When a national answer doesn't exist. We need to look at grid resilience on a regional level. And that's more the issue. It's a regional issue. Global grid spending rose to 480 billion last year from 300 billion in 2020. But over the decade through 2035, some 5.8 trillion of investment globally is exp. I don't care about globally, I care about our country. And if we don't protect our grid, I mean you've seen all these massive like warehouse buildings they've built for the cloud and for, for AI and all the rest of it. That all collapses. Everything collapses that's attached to electricity. Just look around your house, your refrigerator, your freezer, can't use your washing machine, no lights, no heat, no air conditioning, no electricity in the house. How are you going to cook? You can only cook on that barbecue or the however you do it outside. How many times? There'll be a run on coal, there'll be a run on whatever you use, but you won't be able to use electricity. Let's say you drive your car. That's great. It has gas, right? Wrong. When you fill up your car, what do you fill it up with you. Go to a gas station. Those gas tanks they operate on electricity. No electricity, no gas, no airlines, no airports, no trains, no automobiles. Just think about it. The grocery stores will shut down, everything's going to get rotten. Everything. Well, the trucks will bring. No, the trucks aren't going to move because they can't fill up either. Planes aren't going to move. Nothing's going to move. The grid is the Achilles heel. No, the grid is actually the heart that makes the whole society function. All of it. How are you going to get access to your bank account? Can't use an atm, you can't do anything online. Oh, I'll go inside and get it. They don't have enough cash to give to everybody. And what are you gonna do with the cash anyway? The grocery stores are all shut down. Oh, and did I mention the sewage system won't work because that's controlled by an electrical system. The water cleaning system. You know when you turn on the faucet. That won't work either. Nothing, nothing, nothing will work. But I have batteries until they run out. And what are you going to do with the batteries? Just have a flashlight and start looking at everything. What good does that do? Doesn't do any good. And then what happens when something like that happens? Lawlessness. And the government becomes much of a police state? Everything changes. That's why this is important and that's why I'm talking to you about it. In the U.S. grid investment is expected to hit roughly $1 trillion through 2035. That's grid investment. I'm talking about grid security and protection. Upgrading the grid is crucially important. Protecting it from an enemy, a terrorist, is very important. And by the way, all this talk by Kent and all the rest of them about the missile systems to deliver a nuclear warhead. He says it's not imminent. You know ladies and gentlemen, somebody can let off a nuclear bomb without a missile. It's possible. And if you're a terrorist regime and you have billions of dollars to work on it and you're given advice by other adversaries, you can do that in a boat or a truck or you can damage the grid. These damnable democrats and these phony neo isolation, these isolationist neo fascists, they're going to get us all killed. I'll be right back. Ever feel like your brain just won't click on it?

the Mark Levin show, live and national at 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

All right, let me see. Do we have any calls here, Mr. Peters? I don't have my. Oh, our phone system is down. So here's what I recommend. Open your window and yell as loudly as you possibly can. I might be able to hear you, but then again, I might not. You might get arrested. That's too bad. We always like to take calls. Well, not always, but most of the time. Here's the president for the swearing in. That's 10, Mr. Producer, the swearing in. A Mark Wayne Mullen for the new DHS secretary. Cut and go. Was the turning point to make you

[Joe Kent]

want to pursue a ceasefire.

[Mark Levin]

A few days ago, you know, you

[Joe Kent]

said you wanted to continue bombing Iran. Now you want to pursue peace talks. Was there something that.

[Producer/Announcer]

The fact that they're talking to us and they're talking sense and remember, it all starts with they cannot have a nuclear weapon. Just, you know, I said yesterday, what are. They said, what are the top 10? I said, well, number one, two and three is they can't have a nuclear weapon and they're not going to have a nuclear weapon. And we're talking about that. I don't want to say in advance, but they've agreed they will never have a nuclear weapon.

[Mark Levin]

Let's stop right there for a moment. So when you hear Van Hollen and Chris Murphy and these other reprobates, if it turns out Iran doesn't get a nuclear weapon and they can't for the foreseeable future, isn't that a tremendous victory? Isn't it? Now, again, we need to look at the details and the particulars. I got all that. But still, we're now actually in a position to do that. To do that. These people were cheering on Biden, who gave them 100, $140 billion in sanction relief, cheering on Obama, who gave him billions of dollars plus a pathway to a nuclear weapon in 10 to 15 years. They voted for him. They both of them, they voted for their proposals, they supported them, they lauded them. They were at conga line on TV defending it on and on and on. And here we're in this circumstance, thanks to Obama and Biden, the president has turned it around completely, 100% in three weeks time. And he's coming under attack by the people who created this Scenario. That is ridiculous. All right, cut 11, go.

[Producer/Announcer]

We killed all their leadership, and then they met to choose new leaders, and we killed all of them. And now we have a new group, and we can easily do that, but let's see how they turn out. It's. We have really regime change. You know, this is a change in the regime because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems. So this was. I think we can say, Jason, this is regime change. Right?

[Mark Levin]

What makes you trust.

[Producer/Announcer]

I don't trust anybody. I don't trust you. I mean, that's only because I know you. But if I didn't know you, I'd probably have more trust. But I don't trust anyone.

[Mark Levin]

Why bother.

[Producer/Announcer]

Why do you. Why do you say that? Why do you say. What makes you. Do you think I trust them? I don't trust them.

[Mark Levin]

Then why bother talking to them?

[Producer/Announcer]

Because they're going to make a deal.

[Mark Levin]

It's interesting, isn't it, the thought process and the media. Cut 12, go.

[Producer/Announcer]

Well, I think we're going to end it. I can't tell you for sure. You know, I don't like to say this. We've won this. This war has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news. I mean, the New York Times. You read the New York Times, it's like. Like we're not winning a war where they have no navy and they have no air force, and they have no nothing, and we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country. They can't do a thing about it. For instance, if I want to take down that power plant, that very big, powerful power plant, they can't do a thing about it. It's like, take me. That's all they can do. And yet if you read the New York Times or if you watch ABC Fake News or NBC Fake News, you'd say it's a close battle. It's not a close battle. They're totally defeated. You know, we killed their navy. And would you say three days, Pete gone? In fact, I was a little upset with Pete. I said, why didn't you save the ships? We could have used them, right? He said, it's more fun shooting them down. But the Navy was. The Navy was wiped out.

[Mark Levin]

That's funny. Well, Pete, what do you think about all this? Cut 13. Go.

[Military Official]

Never in history has a modern military. Iran had a modern military, a modern navy, a modern air force, modern air defenses, leadership, massive bunker. Never has a modern military been so rapidly and historically obliterated, defeated from day one with overwhelming firepower. The air campaign that we've conducted that Israel's conducted alongside us was one for

[Mark Levin]

the stop right there. He always, always graciously says that always that we've conducted in Israel's conduct, always. That's all close. And it drives the neo fascist nut, the Marxist nuts and the Islamist nuts. This is a real ally we have with firepower, with intelligence. I don't just mean between the years. I mean actual national security intelligence like nobody else. We don't know how to take these guys out. We don't live in that neighborhood. The Israelis track this day in and day out. They have to if they want to survive. Go ahead.

[Military Official]

As we have a President of the United States that when he sends his war fighters out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one. And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs. You have a choice. As we loiter over the top of Tehran, as the President talked about about your future, the President has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon. The War Department agrees our job is to ensure that. And so we're keeping our hand on that throttle as long as hard as is necessary to ensure the interests of the United States of America are achieved on that battlefield. This is not Iraq and Afghanistan. This is not a President who's interested in vague end states. He's been very clear with us about what we need to accomplish, creating the conditions for them never to have a nuclear capability. And that's exactly what we're doing in historic fashion.

[Mark Levin]

Thank you, Mr. President. Is he not a fantastic Secretary of War now they're jealous of him. Some of these old generals who retired are jealous of him. These clowns in Congress who are trying to destroy him. Remember all this stuff. He's energetic. He's got a lot of knowledge, despite what they say. He's got a lot of support at the Pentagon. You know, victory. Victory has a way of building leaders. It has a way of building support for leaders. And my view is we've defeated or we've almost defeated completely their military. Now we have to defeat the regime. There's a difference. We'll see how this plays out. I have an open mind, but I also have my principles. I'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

Going outside is so in. During Spring Fest at Lowe's for a limited time, get extra big deals on select Holland Pavers three for $1 plus. Save $70 on the Char Broil performance four burner grill now $179. And Chef up shareables for your whole crew. Picture perfect patios and good food. Yes, please. Our best lineup is here at Lowe's. Valid through 3:30 while supplies last. Selection varies by location. Paver offer excludes Alaska and Hawaii. You know, I wanted to touch on this. Open your microphone, Rich. This young lady who was murdered in Chicago, she comes out of your community, doesn't she? Yeah. Sheridan Gorman. Pick up just a little louder. Sheridan Gorman. Yorktown Heights, New York. And she went to what high school? Yorktown High School. AOC's High School. AOC. Sandy's High School. So she went to Sandy's high school. Has Sandy made any public statements about this? I don't believe so. You don't believe so? That's cold, man. In the community, the community is celebrating this young lady's life. The community is very upset about what's taking place, she told me. And in fact, what are you all doing to recognize her? Among other things, lighting up the houses and the porches with the green lights. Hopefully when the parents see it, they'll feel loved. So the green lights are intended to represent the community's love for the family and really sincere sadness over the murder of this young lady. I am sickened to my stomach by this. I told you that last night. I kind of project onto this one. If you have a daughter or daughters, you understand. You understand? She's just there at College. She's 18. She's walking down the street with her friends to look at particularly events going on in the sky. And some guy runs up behind her and shoots her in the head, dead and gone. You have a mayor blames the system who blames the federal government on ice. You've got a governor who blames the president. After four or five days of waiting to say anything. I hate these people. I truly despise these people. I've never seen politicians like this, Democrat, Republican or anything else. I've never seen anything like this. And they have no intention of changing their policy so there will be more slaughter that goes on. I said this before. For all the talk we talk about the casualties in this war in Iran more people here in the United States, in our own country were murdered on Saturday than the entirety of the war in Iran. That doesn't change, you know, the fact that human lives are lost. But what bothers me so much is the inattention to most of the murder that takes place in this country, who's doing it and why it's taking place. That's a reason alone to secure the border and to kick all the illegal aliens out. But the Democrat party is a heartless, heartless crowd. Heartless. And I don't even know how people can be Democrats anymore. I just don't get it. Which is why, I guess they're trying to change the nature of the population to people who do get it, I suppose. But we're a beneficent country, a tolerant country, a loving country. It's really the whole basis of the Judeo Christian belief system. And we have individuals, politicians in this country that just don't give a damn. We call most of them Democrats, quite frankly. And I'm telling you the truth. There's a few exceptions here and there. A fetterman, a local councilman or alderman, and this, that and the other. But the vast majority are this way. This is who they are. And I play these clips for a reason. So you can hear from their own mouths, the way they talk, how they think it's shocking. Just look at the tsa. These people going without pay. And then they pretend they're the ones who want to pay. The tsa, well, they're the ones who voted against funding dhs, all of it. They have the ability to demagogue and propagandize, but in the end they want their power. They don't care how many lives it costs. And I'm being bluntly honest with you. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel and our truckers. The men and women in Ukraine, the men and women in Israel, the men and women in Persia, and you, the men and women of the United States, red blooded Yanks. Thank God for each and every one of you. Be safe out there. It's very dangerous. I'll see you tomorrow.
