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. Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 877-3813-811877-38811, 3811. Thank you for being here and at a family manner. We had to attend to Everything's great last evening. And it was attended to. And it went well. It went well, thank God. But I'm here tonight. This evening. I will be on HANNITY Tonight at 9pm Eastern. I will be on Life Liberty in Levin Saturday and Sunday, 8pm Eastern. Two great live programs. I know you're going to love them. But let's talk about now. You know, I look at American history and I look at these wars we've been involved in over the extent of our history, including a war to give us our freedom in our country. I don't believe we've ever had a political party, a major political party that roots against our troops, against the commander in chief and roots for defeat as a means for gaining power. There used to be Democrats like Scoop Jackson, like Patrick Moynihan, and like many more who would join together country first. But those days are over. We have a Democrat Party that's an umbrella party for every group that hates America and wants to destroy America from within. They say they don't, but obviously they do. Tell me, what has Hakeem Jeffries said in defense of our troops, in support of our troops? Not a word. How about Schumer? Not a word. How about the vast majority of the elected Democrats in Congress? Nothing. Not a word. Instead, we get this drumbeat that this military campaign is unconstitutional, which it's not. That it's illegal somehow, which it's not. They used the War Powers act of 1973 as a political cudgel. And ironically, this president has applied with it, has complied with it, and has applied it in the middle of a military campaign, they've shut down tsa. The people who are working at our airports aren't getting paid a penny, not a cent. Fema, the people who are trying to help people in this country in need aren't getting paid a cent. The Secret Service, who are protecting our president, among others, they aren't getting paid a cent. Meanwhile, the Democrats in Congress continue to get their paychecks, and they say they're doing this. They say they were doing this because of the way ICE treats illegal immigrants. Well, they don't put it that way. They say that you're locking up American citizens because for them, illegal immigrants and American citizens are one in the same. They say there's no clear mission. Not only have they explained time and time and time again, this administration, what the mission is, they don't even have to explain it to us. We know exactly what the mission is. To take out this regime before it takes us out. It's that simple. Chuck Schumer says we bumbled into a war. Does it look like we bumbled into a war? Hakeem Jeffries says the war will, quote, end in failure. While we have men and women on the battlefield, the war will end in failure. Is that the way it looks to you, America? The Democrat parties giving aid and comfort to the enemy through its statements, through its actions? And the truth is, the war could go faster. Excuse me. If they saw a united country, but they don't. But they don't. Now we're told the gas prices have gone up 25 cents. We hear this constantly now by our media. Gas prices have gone up 25 cents. You know, ladies and gentlemen, I'm embarrassed by our media and the people who try to exploit this military campaign, which I call a peace mission. Gas prices have gone up 25 cents a gallon. We don't even have a draft as we've had in past major wars. There's no draft. The vast majority of we the people are utterly unaffected by this war. Maybe 25 cents a gallon. The vast majority of us, as our war fighters, are over there kicking the ass of the Islamo Nazis in a spectacular military campaign. I don't think we've seen anything like this before. We're not making great sacrifices here. 25 cents a gallon. We're not making great sacrifices here. World War II, there was strict rationing of gasoline and sugar and meat and tires. And. And metal of all kinds. They had wage and salary controls. You know, for most people, their wages were capped by the government at $25,000. That's it. We had Executive Order 9066 in 1942 where FDR put 120,000 Japanese in concentration camps. We don't have any of that going on. Nor should we. Nor should we. But the Democrats are rooting for us to lose. They're trying to dispirit the American people and our military personnel. They're trying to create disunity. That's what they're doing. It's grotesque. And watch this guy Newsom attacking our commander in chief with cheap shots left and right, then attacking our allies, the Israelis. An apartheid state. He must be talking about all those Arab Muslim countries surrounding Israel. It's funny how Newsom has not talked to the Christians there, the Muslims there, the Jews there, the Arabs there. No, no. An apartheid state, he says, spewing some of the most horrendous Jew hatred out there. Because that's how you get the nomination out in the Democrat Party. These are our allies. We're fighting side by side. The President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, the three most crucial individuals in this war, as well as the director of the CIA. They've all celebrated this alliance. Celebrated this alliance. But not the Democrats. Not the Democrats. There's also something else going on out there that's pretty sick. I want to play one of these for you now. This is Chris Matthews. I thought he was banned from TV for bad behavior, but there he is showing up on, I guess it's Ms. LSD on the Morning Schmo Show. Hat tip News busters. Now this is being repeated again and again and again in writing and videos on TV. Cut 21, go. The President was giving out medals and acting like they were just sitting there to applaud him. They had no role in war making or decisions about war. Don't Republicans think that Congress is Article 1 in the Constitution, that they have a role in making war? Stop that. No, they don't have a role in making war. I've explained this a thousand times and I'll keep explaining it. The word make war, that phrase was in the original draft and was removed. But declare war, make war belongs to the Commander in Chief under Article 2. Every President has known that. But this nimrod who they dragged back, God knows why, doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Go ahead. Pushing the war was Mark Levin. On Friday night, before we attacked, he was pushing For a big war. He wanted what he wanted and he got it. But I never heard a big debate in the United States Congress about this war and I think it's incredible. That's enough. So it's Mark Levin's war. Mark Levin's war. You can see the radical kooks on the left like the radical woke Reich R E I C H isolationists and Jew haters like Meghan Kelly. It's Mark Levin's war. And Ben Shapiro and Lindsey Graham and Josh Hammer, you know, but Mark Levin in particular, you know, this is his war. I am proud of what this President is doing. I am proud of what our Secretary of State and Secretary of War are doing and our CIA director. I am proud of our men and women in uniform. I am proud of our Israeli allies and the Prime Minister and their military. I am proud of the Persian people. They are the ones who initiated this. I am proud of all the people, all the organizations, all the countries are trying to defeat one of the most vile, homicidal, dangerous regimes since the beginning of humanity. Can you imagine them with nuclear weapons? See what they are doing right now? Can you imagine? No you can't. Because it's unimaginable. These are monsters. I want to be as clear as I know how. No amount of attacking me and calling me the worst names possible and I might add, and I'm not going to get into detail, no amount of threats against me are going to change who I am and what I believe. Nothing. Nothing. I'm a red blooded American. My family's been here 120 years more than most other families quite frankly. And this regime needed to be taken out because it killed over a thousand Americans. It maimed thousands and thousands of Americans, it spreads terror in our country and all over the world. It is plotting with nuclear weapons to take us out. And they will do it because their mindset is a 7th century fundamentalist Islamist massive killer mindset. And I have pushed back against the 1930s type isolationists and Nazis and I've pushed back against the Islamists and I pushed back against the Marxists. You could put that on my, my epithet, that's perfectly fine. But it's this President of the United States more than any before him and likely after him, who has the guts to do what needs to be done. He could have passed it on to the next president, the next generation, but he knew better. 25 cents a gallon of gasoline. Is that what we have to pay? Seriously? Ask the Iranian people what they've paid. Ask the Israeli people what they've paid. Ask the families of the people who've been slaughtered by this Iranian regime and their proxies what they've paid. And look at your children and grandchildren tonight. Look at them. Because what Donald Trump is doing means they will never, ever have to fear a nuclear attack from this enemy. Because he stood up our generation, at least half of it, and said, no way, Jose. That ain't gonna happen. Not on our watch. I'll be right back. Foreign Some major US banks are publishing aggressive gold scenarios for 2026, some as high as about $6,300 an ounce. While nothing about the future is guaranteed, the market has already moved faster than many expected. Meanwhile, central banks have been accumulating gold and some estimates show that gold holdings now exceeding U.S. treasury holdings, signaling gold's long term confidence. Monetary gold has over 25 years helping Americans understand physical gold and silver with an education first, no pressure approach and support for IRA eligible options.

President Trump today, or I should say yesterday, got one go. I'm once again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military and the police to lay down their arms. They're only going to be killed. And now is the time to stand up for the Iranian people and help take back your country. You're going to have a chance after all these years to take back your country. Accept immunity. We'll give you immunity. And we'll be giving you really the right side of history because that's what it is. So you'll be perfectly safe with total immunity or you'll face absolutely guaranteed death. And I don't want to see that. They don't want to see it either. We also urge Iranian diplomats around the world to request asylum and to help us shape a new and better Iran with great potential. It's a country with great potential. As much better future for Iran. It's now beginning. It's going to be, I think, a great future. And the United States will ensure that whoever leads the country next, Iran will not threaten America or its neighbors. Israel, anybody? Mm. Cut two, go. The United States military, together with the wonderful Israeli partners, continues to totally demolish the enemy far ahead of schedule and at levels that people have never seen before. Actually, we're destroying more of Iran's missiles and drone capability every single hour, knocking them out like nobody thought was possible. As soon as they set off a missile, within four minutes, the launcher gets hit. They don't know what's happening. But we have the greatest military anywhere in the world. Their Navy is gone, 24 ships in three days. That's a lot of ships. They're anti aircraft weapons are gone. So they have no air force, they have no air defense. Let me just say this. He's not only one of the greatest presidents in history already, he's one of the greatest commanders in chief in American history. No question about it. We'll be right back.

Mark Lefen, an unapologetic patriot and unapologetic constitutionalist. You can reach him at 877-381-3811. The Democrats tell the media to tap dance and the media tap dance. Sometimes the media tell the Democrats to tap dance and the Democrats tap dance. And so Caroline Levitz asked the same question five, six days in a row. What are our objectives? What's the mission? Now we all know what the objective of the mission is. To take out the regime, to take out its ballistic missiles and anything related to nuclear weapons. Right. And to have some role in ensuring that what replaces it isn't going to be hostile to the United States and helpful to the people who they've been slaughtering. Now that's the objective. And then I love the next question. Well, how can we be sure it's going to work? We can't be sure. We can be sure they're going to be defeated. But what do they mean that it's going to work if you have all the Answers before the first bullet is fired. Show me. Show me the war in which that's occurred. Folks, we should be celebrating what's going on, celebrating this incredible achievement, celebrating our technology and our, and our industries that can bring us these kinds of weapons. Nobody has this. And one of the reasons we don't need ground troops is because of the genius of American innovation. If we didn't have missiles like this, jets, like we have bombers, like we have other sorts of munitions, if we didn't have such a technological edge on not just the Iranians, but the Russians and the Chinese too, we would have to have massive ground forces. But we don't because of what we have done. Again, we should be celebrating our troops, our commander in chief, the relevant cabinet members, our ally Israel. We should be celebrating what is taking place. If you are the communist Chinese, you are worried a lot. If you are Russia, you are worried a lot. Why is it that the people who oppose what we're doing are the Marxists, the Islamists, the woke Reich, neo fascists, the Russians, the communist Chinese, and the Democrats. And the Democrats. So here's Caroline levin for the 4,000th time in five days. Cut three, go. I won't get ahead of the President on broadcasting any timelines. What I will tell you is what President Trump has already laid out, which is that the achievability. Stop a minute. What if we had a timeline? Would we announce that to the enemy? Are these people nuts? Are they nuts? You know they didn't go after Biden and that debacle to get out of Afghanistan. He gave a time limit. He told the enemy exactly when we're going to be leaving, what day we're going to be leaving. And the enemy attacked us and killed 13 of our brave men and women and God knows how many were injured and killed an enormous number of Afghanis at the same time. You do not announce in advance how long anything is going to take. The idiocy of what we deal with. Go ahead. We expect to last about four to six weeks and we are well on our way to achieving those objectives. Annihilating Iran's navy. We know that we've shrunk, sunk more than 30, by the way, the President said it'll be as long as it needs to be. Whatever it is, it is. Go ahead. Their navy has now been deemed combat ineffective. Taking out the ballistic missile threat, that's a good thing. All that metal will be at the bottom of the sea where they can have, you know. Mr. Like coral growing people like coral don't they fish like coral, you know. Go ahead, pose. To the United States and our troops and bases in the region, we have done a tremendous job. The United States military has done a tremendous job at achieving that objective thus far. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Then we have this foreign minister, by the way. I can't wait till his day comes. I don't know when it will or if it will, but he's one of the last remaining of the. Of the senior staff of the Khomeini, pronounced, I think, Argici. Yabba dabba. Cut five. Go. Minister, you said that Iran cannot reach US soil, right, The American homeland with the weapons that you have right now. Is there any other way that Americans should be concerned that Iran could attack the enemy? All right, all right. This is just so you believe this, Rich, asking the enemy, what else should Americans be? The reason he's on these networks is he's doing propaganda. And even if he goes on shows of my friends, I don't think he has. This is propaganda. Propaganda. It's just crazy. And then what should we be afraid of? What should be afraid of? Go ahead. No, they have enough bases around us. Why we should go further than that?
- [26:24]
Lee Smith
They have enough soldiers, they have enough, you know, military assets, and they have enough military bases, military installations. So we don't need to go beyond that.
- [26:38]
Mark Levin
Cut six, go. Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country?
- [26:43]
Lee Smith
No, we are waiting for them.
- [26:45]
Mark Levin
You are waiting for the US military to invade the ground troops? Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them and that would be a big disaster for them. First of all, there's not going to be any such thing, so. Stupid question from a stupid guy. That's why he works for NBC News. Nobody with brains in this company. NBC. Nobody with brains in this company, right, Mr. Producer. You worried about an invasion in your country? There's not going to be an infantry invasion for the reasons I just said. And by the way, it's unnecessary, absolutely unnecessary. So John Fetterman's on with this. Mehdi Hassan's. Mehdi Hassan is a Jew hating, American hating. I would argue jihadi Islamist. That's what I would argue. And you can go on the Internet, put in his name, and you'll see what a scumbag this guy is. And he's in our country and I don't know if he's a citizen or not. He ought to be deported. If he's a naturalized citizen, they should denaturalize him and kick his ass out of here. But I'm not kidding. So here's prem tacker, whatever the hell that is. Cut seven, go. I was wondering what you made of the Department of War sinking of an Iranian naval ship today. Oh, I wanna. I wanna offer condolences to your boss. I know he's all broke up about the Fetterman. That's funny. His boss, you know, Mehdi Hassan. So they must have. What did they do, corner him and put a microphone on his face? Ah, that's what it was on Capitol Hill. Go ahead.
- [28:47]
Lee Smith
Who's our boss?
- [28:48]
Mark Levin
What? Who's our boss? Huh? You're offering your condolences to my. Yeah. No, what I'm. What I'm saying, though, it's like, I know who you work for. That's very anti Israel. And we just report on humanitarian law, sir. Oh, they just report on humanitarian law, sir. The Islamist. The jihadists. That's right. They're just humanitarians. You don't understand. And this humanitarian AKA scumbag is Prem Thacker. Go ahead. Israel. And I'm very pro Israel, so we can agree and disagree on things. Sure. Do you think it's okay for the US to bomb an Iranian naval ship in international waters? I think. I think the world's better than he said now. And I think it's a good thing now that Iran will never acquire a nuclear bomb. What about the naval ship today, though? What about that naval ship? What do you think? What do you think about that naval ship, for God's sake? I don't know. You little bastard. What do you think about all the terrorists that. That your hero let loose on the planet and killed us, our people. Europeans, Africans, Middle Easterners? What do you think about that, Adolf? What do you think about. Oh, no, no. You blow up that in international waters. Oh, they're trying to assassinate our president here in our own country. And this jerk's worried about. Oh, you hit that. And guess what that boat was doing was making a run for it in international waters. Oh, we can't touch them there. No, they're shooting ballistic missiles. I think they've shot them into 14 countries now. 14 countries. They're shooting ballistic missiles with weapons on these ballistic missiles that are in violation of international law. They're committing war crimes. And this jerk's worried about us hitting your ship in international water. Could they make a run for their international. You can't hit us. Course we can. Of course we can. There's nothing illegal about that. It's an enemy ship. Go ahead. And if they think it's a good idea to have a nuclear bomb. Really disagree to disagree on that. Is it okay for the US to bomb naval ships without a declaration of war though? Yes, it is. Next question. You little schmuck. Go ahead. I'm sorry, I. I support killing the Iranian leadership. I'm not talking about the leadership. Why wasn't he upset about the way they killed all the Iranians? Why wasn't he upset about. He wasn't. He wasn't angry about. Who's he killing? The thousands and thousands of young Iranians. He didn't seem bothered by that. Mehdi Hassan, you schmuck. You work for him, he gives you a paycheck is my understanding. He owns the company Zatio Reporter. Oh yes. They're very, very journalistic, you know, very independent. The voice of the enemy. But you know what we got Democrats throughout the House, Democrats throughout the Senate say the same thing. Say the same thing as this nimrod. Same thing. I'll be right back. Much loving foreign. Some major US banks are publishing aggressive gold scenarios for 2026. Some as high as about $6,300 an ounce. While nothing about the future is guaranteed, the market has already moved faster than many expected. Meanwhile, central banks have been accumulating gold and some estimates show that gold holdings now exceeding U.S. treasury holdings signaling gold's long term confidence.

The senior leadership is dead. Their nuclear sites, their new ones, done. Their ballistic missiles and launchers, almost done. Their drones and drone launchers, almost done. And the Democrats want to know what the mission is as the mission is being carried out in a spectacular way, one step after the other. Hey, what's the mission? The mission is being done right in front of your eyes. What do you mean what's the mission? And then they want to know well, what happens after the mission? Well, we're going to try and ensure that there is a government there that is not hostile to us and is humane enough that are not slaughtering their own people. What's the mission? Am I Missing something, Mr. Producer? What's the mission. No, the point is their mission. Which is? Operation Sabotage. That's the mission. Operation Sabotage. They're on the same side as the Russians, the Communist Chinese and the other miscreants and malcontents in our own country. What's the mission? You know what's funny? They know what the mission is. The Russians and the Communist Chinese, they know what the mission is. The Iranian regime knows what the mission is. But the Democrats don't know what the mission is. They're liars. They're liars and they're unpatriotic. Unpatriotic. On top of everything else, ask Khomeini what the mission is. Oh, you can't. He's dead. Ask the senior leadership what the mission is. Oh, you can't. They're dead. 90% of their ballistic missile launchers are out. Oh, maybe that's part of the mission. They're going after the drone launcher. Maybe that's part of the mission too. You never know. The Russians know what the mission is. The Communist Chinese know what the mission is. Our military knows what the mission is. The enemy knows what the mission is. But the Democrats don't know what the mission is. The question I have is what is the Democrat Party's mission? What is their mission? We're just asking questions. So we haven't heard that before, have we America? No, no, we haven't heard that before. What's the mission? The mission is being significantly accomplished. As I speak, as I speak to the Democrat officials in the Democrat Party. I ask you a question. Why are you siding with the enemy? Why are you doing their dirty work here at home? Why are you trying to dispirit our troops and disunite our country? Why are you trying to prevent us from finishing the mission with phony claims of the War Powers Act? Why are you claiming that the Constitution was violated when every single Democrat president since 1973 has said the War Powers act is unconstitutional? And you agreed with them. And where do you get off saying that Congress has to approve a war? Which of the framers said that? Where does the Constitution say that? Where does the history surrounding the Constitution say that? Nowhere. Nowhere and nowhere again. They're giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They know they can rely on the Democrat Party. I mean after all, some of our enemy. They've spent a lot of money getting some of these people elected, destroying our educational system, paying for junkets for so called journalists, and of course paying for influencers who can't influence anyone over a damn thing. Not over a damn thing. After all, Mr. Producer, they're saying it's my war, that I launched the war. Well, which is it? Mark has no influence, but Mark launched the war. These people are contemptible. For them, it's too difficult to get behind our armed forces, to get behind the commander in chief. There's power at all costs. And they are hoping, hoping that there are big hiccups or worse. They really are. I'll be right back. This segment of the podcast is exclusively sponsored by PureTalk.

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 here. Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-381100. Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say. Interesting, but not to be surprised. It's actually pretty much old news. I'm guessing it's a great piece in the Tablet, which is really one of the best publications out there and there's several good ones these days. I like the Free Press mostly the Tablet now, I started down the list. Mr. That was foolish. And others that I will mention as time goes on. The Free Beacon, of course, we love our friends at Breitbart and others. But for now I want to go to the Tablet. Lee Smith, who's a brilliant writer and thinker, he wrote a piece who Wants this War? Polls show that Republican support for the Donald Trump administration's campaign to destroy Iran's nuclear weapons facilities, ballistic missile program and other military capabilities and dismantle the Islamic Republic is over 80%. Poll came out today. It's over 90%. It's over 90%. Nonetheless, there are reports of a split in the GOP and the Trump movement itself. Some members of the MAGA opposition are mad because they say Trump in America is being led to war by Israel. Accordingly, anti Semitic agitator Tucker Carlson says that Trump's Iran campaign is absolutely disgusting and evil, quote unquote. Actually, that would be him. Former Fox News siren Megyn Kelly says the Iran campaign, quote, is clearly Israel's war. Mark Levin, there we go again. Wanted it? No, I wanted not war per se, but military operation. Put an end to that regime. There's no question about that. It is his war. Ben Shapiro, Lindsey Graham, Miriam Adelson, that's obvious. They are the ones who've been pushing us into this. Nobody pushes Donald Trump into anything. When will these nimrods understand that? The fact is that no one before Trump had the courage to attack. Iran has been waging a war against Americans, U.S. interests and allies for nearly five decades, and no other American leader would stand up against that. But plenty of people called for it. As the historical record makes plain, conservatives and Republicans have been saying for 47 years that we should wage war on Iran. For instance, Shortly after the 1979 takeover, the US embassy in Tehran, career US diplomat George Keenan told a Senate committee that the United States should declare war on the Islamic Republic, best known as the father of containment. Yeah, he was a big sort of fdr, post Cold War Democrat. Washington's Cold war policy to keep the Soviets in check without risking nuclear war. Keenan counseled US Policymakers to hold in readiness the means of unilateral pressure on Iran, including military pressures. Iranian officials, he said, could be interned and released only in exchange for the Americans held by the revolutionary regime. Now, this action, said Kenan, would also put us in a position to make our own decisions about such military action that we might wish to take if it became necessary. Keenan's advice was seconded by the founder of the modern conservative movement, William F. Buckley, Jr. And I would ask Buckley, Katarlson, drop your first name. You're no Buckley. Drop it. Benedict Arnold Kitarlson. That would be better. That such a recommendation, Buckley wrote, should have been made by someone once dubbed one of the principal ambiguists among American intelligentsia reminds us that purposeful thought is still possible. If the idea is that Trump himself only lately started to worry about Iran's war on America and how America might take up arms in its defense, that also is not true. In an October 1980 interview 46 years ago, Trump said of Iran, quote, that they hold our hostages is just absolutely and totally ridiculous. That this country sits back and allows a country such as Iran to hold our hostages, to my way of thinking is a horror, and I don't think they do it with other countries. What he meant was that the very character of the Islamic Revolution was anti American. In April 1980, the Jimmy Carter administration mustered an attempt and failed to rescue the 52American hostages. And the interviewer asked if Trump felt the president should have marched troops into Iran and deposed the regime that abused Americans and held captive, quote, I absolutely feel that, said Trump. I don't think there's any question and there's no question in my mind and I think right now we'd be an oil rich nation and I believe that we should have done it and I'm very disappointed that we didn't do it. And I don't think anybody would have held us in abeyance. I don't think anybody would have been angry with us. And we had every right to do it at the time. I think we've lost the opportunity as many years ago, Mr. Producer, when I said I felt we declared or we committed our military to taking out Iraq when we probably should have committed it to taking out Iran. You remember that many, many years ago, and having lost the opportunity, Iran started targeting Americans without fear of any consequence. The chronicle of how Hezbollah, Iran's Lebanese proxy, alone hunted Americans in the 1980s is likely to revive nightmares for Americans old enough to remember. It may illustrate for those who were not yet born, what Trump was in part elected to address. In 1983, Iran's Lebanese arm bombed the US embassy in Beirut, killing 17Americans. Six months later, the group killed 241 US servicemen at the Marine barracks in Beirut. A year later, in January 1984, Hezbollah assassinated the president of American University of Beirut, Malcolm Kerr. In March, it kidnapped, tortured and killed CIA station chief William Buckley. And in September, it bombed the US embassy annex in Beirut, killing 23, including two US service members. In December 1984, the Lebanese terrorists hijacked the Kuwait airways and it tortured and killed two officials of the U.S. agency for International Development, Charles Hegner and William Stanford. In 1985, Hezbollah hijacked a TWA flight, tortured and murdered U.S. navy diver Robert Stedham. And in July 1989, Hezbollah kidnapped, tortured and hung U.S. marine Colonel William Higgins. Hezbollah's kidnapping, torturing and murdering of Americans dropped off with the end of Lebanon's civil wars in 1990. But Iranian backed groups continued to kill US forces throughout the region and the biggest attack was in Saudi Arabia When 19 US airmen were killed after a truck bomb drove Into Khobar Towers June 25, 1996. In his book the America We Deserve, Trump was rightly concerned about the possibility that Iran's proxies might soon be operating under their sponsor's nuclear umbrella. In 2000, he wrote, quote, you can be assured that right now there are fanatics, whether they sit in the councils of doomsday cults or in the cabinets of rogue states were plotting and waiting for their moment to strike. The question Then is what can we do to best protect our cities? A lot more than you might think, quote, unquote. As the number of US troops killed by the Iranians in Iraq reached 603 in 2011, Trump spelled out what he'd do in his book published that year. Time to get tough, he wrote, America's primary goal with Iran must be to destroy its nuclear ambitions. Let me put them as plainly as I know how. Iran's nuclear program must be stopped by any and all means necessary, period. We cannot allow this radical regime to acquire a nuclear weapon that they will either use or hand off to terrorists. The start of his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump said, quote, we need to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. We cannot allow a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. The Barack Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal. The candidate said, it's very dangerous. Iran developing a nuclear weapon either through uranium or nuclear fuel, and defying the world is still a very real possibility. The inspections will not be followed and Iran will no longer have any sanctions. Iran gets everything and loses nothing. And during his first term, Trump withdrew from Obama's deal and imposed sanctions on Iran to force it to abandon its nuclear program. On the campaign trail for the 2024 race, Trump warned against the prospect of an Iranian bomb many dozens of times. Most significantly, after Biden told Israel to refrain from hitting Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump blasted his rival. He said, that's the thing you want to hit, right? It's the biggest risk. We have nuclear weapons, and it goes on. This brilliant article and the gentleman who wrote it, Lee Smith, really one of the great writers of our day, wrote it at the tablet. He's going to be with us after the break. I'll be right back. Mark Le Ben, 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 Pure Talk, my wireless company that gives you unlimited talk text and plenty of data.

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. PureTalk, America's wireless company. You know, I used to like the Washington Examiner. I don't even waste my, my time with it anymore. It's moving left Guy Robert Crilly. I don't know who the boss is over there anymore, but it's fading away, Moving left, the Washington Examiner. I'm not gonna, I don't waste my time. Do I even send you anything to post on that Mr. Producer anymore? No. Nobody even reads it. It's a waste. The Washington exam. It's too bad. It used to be excellent. Clearly isn't anymore, in my humble opinion. And I will be on Hannity tonight, by the way, at 9pm But I didn't mention this. We have two great shows this weekend, tomorrow night and Sunday night on Life, Liberty and Levin. I'm back. Shows are going to be live and we have tremendous guests. We're going to cover the war effort and more than the war effort, we're going to cover what's happening here, what's taking place here to undermine this country and our war effort. It's a pleasure to bring somebody who writes for a very reputable, I don't know, magazine paper, whatever we call the tablet. It's just fantastic. Lee Smith, how are you, sir?
- [50:58]
Lee Smith
I'm very well, Mark. Thank you so much for inviting me on tonight.
- [51:02]
Mark Levin
It's a pleasure. And I don't think you get the attention and accolades you deserve. You really dig deeply into so many subjects. So what about these people who are saying Donald Trump didn't campaign for this. Donald Trump's turning on the base. Donald Trump is a warmonger. And what about these people that keep accusing me and a few of my friends of getting us into this war? I mean, obviously I support what we're doing, but I don't remember being commander in chief, do you?
- [51:30]
Lee Smith
Well, it's not just that. I mean, the history's, you know, the history there. There are many of us, Mark, who are old enough to remember 1979, the embassy takeover. I mean, that's a formative event. And the argument that I make, I think that was also a formative, formative event for President Donald Trump. And what's happened in the last 47 years, the way the Iranians have targeted American servicemen and women, diplomats, academics, civilians, targeted them all throughout the Middle East. There were plots here against Americans here in the homeland, including plots against the president, you know, President Trump. So, yeah, these people are sick. You know, I think it's totally fine for Americans to say, I'm not sure if I support this war, any war, I'm against it. But these people are liars. That's what they're doing. They're lying. Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, they're lying. They're blaming it on Jews. It's disgusting. It's absolutely. It's the most disgusting thing I've seen in my lifetime happen here in this country.
- [52:30]
Mark Levin
And just to be clear, you're not Jewish, are you? No. And I'm only saying that because people go, he's bringing on. You ought to see this stuff. It's just. It's just crazy.
- [52:42]
Lee Smith
I mean, you know, that. That's the sick thing about people, though, you know, I mean, so what if it's Jews who are saying that what's happening is sick? They don't have an opinion on this. They're not right. I mean, the facts are right in front of everyone. Exactly what's going on. So it's really disgusting. And, you know, I saw you speak a couple months ago during the UN General Assembly. I saw you speak at the JNS event. I was really moved by what you said, and especially how you said, you know, oh, yeah, I'm gonna have to go down in the gutter for a little while and fight these people. And it's been on your part, it's been an honorable fight. And I know what you mean, though. It's a cesspool. That's a cesspool.
- [53:24]
Mark Levin
It's a cesspool. And you're a very kind gentleman and you're a very good writer of current events in history. This is a spectacular military operation, isn't it? Shouldn't. Shouldn't we be so proud of the Commander in Chief, so proud of the war planners, so proud of our Secretary of Defense, Secretary of War, Secretary of State, and the CIA director and our allies, the Israelis and the Prime Minister. We have a lot to. To be pleased with in terms of what's going on.
- [53:55]
Lee Smith
No, it's immensely impressive. And, you know, one of the arguments that I keep making is it's not only about keeping Americans safe, it's about eliminating this nuclear weapons program, their ballistic missiles program, and, you know, working to protect Americans, US Interests and, of course, our allies. But I mean, again, when we go back and we look at what's been happening for the last 47 years that a commander in chief picks up the gauntlet and says, this has got to end. What they've been doing to us. We are going to get it back for our people. I mean, it's enormously impressive. So, yes, I believe that normal people, and certainly normal Republicans, we see what the polls look like, are not just appreciative. They're thrilled by what the President and this great administration is doing.
- [54:45]
Mark Levin
Now, I wrote down Lee Smith that the one poll I looked at said that over 90% of MAGA supports this operation in the President. Is that what you saw?
- [54:54]
Lee Smith
Yes, Jess, and it totally makes sense. This is an important component of making America great again. And the President ran on this in 2016, 2020, and 2024. It's no mystery. This is what he was talking about. He was talking about Iran and how Iran had to be stopped. That's what I mean when I talk about these people who are nominally on the right, nominally maga, you know, criticizing Trump, blaming Israel, blaming the Jews. I'm sorry, the president's been saying this for years now. You're lying. You're lying when you blame it on. When you start trying to blame it on the Jews or Israel.
- [55:34]
Mark Levin
And so why are they doing that?
- [55:37]
Lee Smith
You know, before I get into that, before I get into that, I think it's key to say, well, you know, thank God the Jews and thank God Israel have been keeping it. Have also been saying, yeah, the Iranians are a problem, because some of the times maybe that slipped from people's attention. So actually, I would say that we owe the Israelis. And that's coming out right now in this operation. It's like, hey, and remember, this is what happened before the Iraq war. Ariel Sharon had to tell everyone, all of official Israel, to shut up because they kept saying, guys, I think the real problem is not Iraq, it's Iran. So, you know, God bless the Israelis for keeping it front and center for America. Why are they doing it? Why are the demoralizers doing it? I think that's a deal. Big, a big part of it. They are working to demoralize, to demoralize Americans, especially Trump supporters. And, you know, Mark, there's a lot of people, you know, and it's certainly possible or even likely that some of them are getting paid by foreign powers or maybe bad guys here. But I think the really important thing is, I mean, you know, historically, historically, anti Semites don't necessarily need to be paid to be anti Semites and to say vicious things about Jews. I think the really scary thing that a lot of people are afraid to confront is we're talking about corrupted souls. We're talking about very, very dark people. And we have to deal with the fact that they're trying to whip up this demonic frenzy here in the United States. So I think that's a large part of it, too. Very sick people.
- [57:12]
Mark Levin
And I think the president's onto this, don't you, what he said about the Carlson and so forth?
- [57:19]
Lee Smith
I think so, too. You know, for a long time I was thinking, well, you know, why does the president have to deal with this? Why can't someone else call him out or, you know, or why doesn't he just go away? But I'm really happy the president did say some things. I know in my circles and I imagine in yours as well, there have been people who said, gee, I just wish the president would say something. We know what. We know where he is because we see what he says and what he believes and his actions. So we know where he is. That obviously has no sympathy for this lunatic's idea, but we just wish he'd say something. And he did, and God bless him.
- [57:54]
Mark Levin
We want to hold on to you. Lee Smith, through the break into the next segment, wrote a beautiful piece in the tablet. I believe I linked to it, didn't I, Mr. Producer? If not, let's get it up there so that folks can see it. We'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 Pure Talk, 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. PureTalk, America's wireless company. McLuhan, the thunder on the right. Call in now. 877-381-3811. We're here with Lee Smith, who wrote a great piece in the Tablet, but he always writes great pieces, quite frankly. And Lee Smith, let me ask you something. I mean, it's one thing to be an opposition party, but to be affirmatively trying to sabotage the commander in chief and send all these signals to the enemy that you don't like what's being done, that this is an unconstitutional war. And then you even have Hakeem Jeffries saying that we're going to lose this battle. And you have Schumer going on about how we bumbled into this. I mean, they are putting down the military, putting down the United States of America. Have you ever seen anything like this?
- [60:08]
Lee Smith
No. I mean, to return to what we were speaking about before, though, you see people refer to it whatever as horseshoe theory or something like that. That's not really how I see, I see the stuff coming out of the right, the destructive stuff, the demoralizing stuff coming out of the right. It pairs perfectly with the stuff that's coming out from the left. But also we have to remember this is a party, the Democratic Party, they tied themselves to the Islamic Republic of Iran with Barack Obama's nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. So in effect, the Democrats are protecting what they consider a Democratic Party equity and that's the relationship with Iran. Iran. So it's really disgusting. It's been disgusting for over a decade. So I guess we probably shouldn't be surprised right now that they're looking to protect Iran in any way they can. And thank goodness they're not able to because Donald Trump is President of the United States and he's got a top notch administration behind him.
- [61:06]
Mark Levin
And you know, they tried to take out Pete Hagseth early on. They did everything they could. Went into his personal life and they just did everything they could. And you even had Republicans trashing him. You know, he's not qualified and so forth. He has turned out to be a stellar Secretary of war, has he not?
- [61:22]
Lee Smith
It's really, it's really exciting. Yeah. I mean, you know, for a long time people, even people were on the side of them. Well, you know, he's a really good guy and he's a great guy and he's forward leaning and forward charging and there he is exercising with the troops and stuff and getting people excited and getting dei. But yeah, but the planning, I mean, this is really exciting and it is something that should get Trump supporters excited too, saying, wow, this amazing, this amazing range of people. Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, John Ratcliffe at CIA. Yeah, what a great thing to know that America's national security team, that the President has put us in good hands with a top notch national security team.
- [62:06]
Mark Levin
You know, I'm not trying to create a controversy and I don't want to put you on the spot, so answer as you wish, of course, but I don't see the vice President anywhere, do you?
- [62:17]
Lee Smith
Well, I mean, it's unclear whether he's staying out of the way because he thinks it's a good idea for him to stay out of the way or, you know, for his future, future ideas or whether, you know, I just think right now, well, unfortunately, we know that though. We know that too often the Vice President has sided with, sided with Tucker Carlson on all sorts of bad stuff. So, I mean, I have to say I'm, I'm grateful that the, that the campaign is going so well and that there are no diversions and, and maybe this is, maybe this is part of it. But again, just everything is moving very well.
- [63:06]
Mark Levin
And you know, I'm watching the media here. They keep bringing up that the gallon of gasoline's going up 25 cents and it might go up to 32 cents more a gallon. And you're a student of history, I'm thinking that's the sacrifice. I mean, seriously, we don't have a draft. People aren't having to save nickels. They're not waging price controls. I mean, all these things that come with big wars and so forth and so on. The vast majority of the American people are utterly unaffected by this.
- [63:37]
Lee Smith
No, well, there's that and there's also the, there's also the idea when, you know, we've all been talking about this now even before Obama made the nuclear deal with Iran in 2015. What happens when the Iranians actually have a fully realized centralized and operative nuclear weapons program and they can close down the Persian Gulf and with Hezbollah and Hamas, they can close down the eastern Mediterranean and with the Houthis, the Red Sea. So, no, this had to happen. I mean, because the Iranians would be setting the price of oil that, you know, the terror regime would be setting the price of energy for everyone across the world. So right now, yeah, we're going through a bit of a bump and I'm sure it's affecting some people. But as you say, it's not the worst thing to happen in the world. The worst thing to happen in the world would be them having a nuclear weapon and deciding how much Americans are going to pay to move from one place to another, how much Americans are going to pay for food, how much Americans are going to pay for their defense. So, no, this is very good that this is all happening now, and the president is dismantling the regime and disabling them from being able to affect our life even more than they have for 47 years.
- [64:53]
Mark Levin
And I would think the party that is not as upset, perhaps, as Iran, but very, very upset is Communist China. Why would they be upset?
- [65:02]
Lee Smith
Yeah, well, you know, I just published a book on China, the China Matrix. And the case that I make there is that I think that Donald Trump certainly sees Iran as a problem on its own, but he sees, I believe, the number one foreign policy threat is still China, and Iran is very, very important to China. And if we just look at what's happened, if we go back to what happened before the first. Before Donald Trump's first meeting with Xi Jinping, when Xi is saying, oh, yeah, we're not going to let you have any more rare earth minerals, well, I mean, Donald Trump is going to wind up controlling an awful lot of important energy that the Chinese rely on. So this is one thing they're upset about their. Their main asset in the Persian Gulf, losing Iran as they're about to. This is a very big deal. And it's. It's very impressive the way that the president and his administration has been. I mean, basically have the Chinese in a pincer movement right now.
- [66:04]
Mark Levin
Mm. And so they're not going to have control over the oil from Venezuela, as people have noted, not going to have control over the oil from Iran. So it makes a lot more difficult for its military to operate, doesn't it, at least in the midterm.
- [66:19]
Lee Smith
Well, absolutely. And, you know, there's another aspect of it. And Mark, I want to commend you now that I have the chance, because you've been talking about this for so long, and unfortunately, a lot of people on the right have not been talking about it enough. But you're. The way that you describe the Ukraine, Russia conflict and, you know, not only the problems with Russia, but your defense of Ukraine. I think that especially now, seeing the way the world is looking and the way the world shapes up and it's the United States still the leader of the free world and all these other bad actors out there. Yeah. I really think that you put something together much quicker than a lot of other people. And I think a lot of other people are Starting to see it more clearly now.
- [67:03]
Mark Levin
And you know what Ukraine is helping us with? Defending these drones against Iran. They're helping us right now, are they not? While the Russians are helping Iran.
- [67:14]
Lee Smith
Absolutely. Yeah. So this is very clarifying. I mean, this is what war tends to do, but it's very clarifying. Now you see the way the lines are drawn. Where is Ukraine? Where are the Russians? Where are the people who claim to speak for maga? And in fact, they're just the moralizers. Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, where the left in America? Where are the Chinese? No, it's very clarifying. And you know what? But where is Donald Trump? He's leading the way. So, yeah, it's very important for people to see the larger map right now as it's shaping up.
- [67:52]
Mark Levin
Keep up your great work. Keep up your great posting. I didn't get into that toxic Internet there till about 10 months ago. And it's not like it's fun, but you got to duke it out with these people.
- [68:06]
Lee Smith
I know. It's what I heard you say, jns. And I'm thinking, well, you know, if Mark Levin is going to do this, then maybe other people, maybe I should throw a little more energy into it, too.
- [68:17]
Mark Levin
So you're doing great.
- [68:19]
Lee Smith
Thanks, Mark. Thanks so much. Real pleasure and honor to. To be on tonight and to get
- [68:23]
Mark Levin
to speak to you. Thank you. Honor is all mine. And by the way, when did your book come out?
- [68:29]
Lee Smith
Came out. Came out a few months ago. Came out before, before the New Year.
- [68:34]
Mark Levin
You know, let's line up an interview with Lee on his book. All right, we'll figure that out. We'll get back to you, Lee. God bless you, my friend. Take care of yourself.
- [68:44]
Lee Smith
Thank you, Mark. Have a good night. Bye.
- [68:46]
Mark Levin
Bye. You too. He is good, good, good. He's a great writer and thinker. He's got guts. That's what I like, great writers and thinkers who have guts. We'll be right back. Mud flubbins. 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. Now, 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. PureTalk, America's wireless company. I'm feeling good, feeling good about our country. We can sleep at night knowing that our country's in really good hands with our President, Secretary of War and Secretary of State and CIA director, our fantastic head of the Joint Chiefs and CENTCOM commander, our unbelievable allies, the Prime Minister of Israel, the idf, the Mossad. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, this is something like we've never seen before. We don't need ground troops there. Now, the President may decide there needs to be ground troops for this side or the other, but there aren't going to be 100,000, 200,000, half a million ground troops. I am proud of our industry and the people who work for our industries. In national security realm, the technological advances both to defend us and to attack the enemy are second to none. That's why the Communist Chinese are trying to steal them from us all at all time. And you're seeing them on display right now. And they are saving lives. American lives, Persian lives, Israeli lives, the lives of all these Arab Gulf states. What used to happen is you would have carpet bombing because in order to hit a target, you had to take out a city. You don't have carpet bombing now. They may drop 6,000 sorties or whatever. For instance, there was a school that was hit. And even some of my colleagues are saying there needs to be an explanation for this one. Yeah, somebody, come on and explain it. You know, it's amazing how many schools were hit during the Korean War, the Vietnam war, World War II, for crying out loud. And who cared? Seriously. I'm not saying it's something not to care about. I'm just saying back then, who cared? Nobody. You were fighting for your existence. Entire cities were blown off the face of the earth. But thanks to our technological advances, ours and the Israelis, thanks to our industries, we have patriots who don't wear the uniform but make these weapons, these weapons systems, these ships, these jets, these bombers and everything they carry and all the equipment and all the technology that's in them. These are red blooded Americans who go to work every day. And the President met with some of the biggest industries today and he said, look, I need you to pick up the pace four times what you're doing. And they're already expanding. They're already doing it. There's not another country on the face of the earth that has this capability. None. We should be proud of this, proud of what's taking place here. It's truly a spectacular thing to watch the coordination with another military intelligence service, Air Force. There's never been coordination like this before. We've had allies before, but not a coordination like this before. And this is why the Katarlsons and the Tehran Kellys and the Third Reich Bannons, this is why they hate Trump. They're stabbing him in the back. This is why they hate Netanyahu and the Israelis and quote, unquote, the Jews. They're rooting for our defeat, they're rooting for our setback. They want to be able to say, I told you so. They can get another 200,000 followers. The Democrats are rooting for our defeat. They're trying to sabotage this effort every step of the way. This weekend they're going to be in their little, you know, their little cabals, trying to figure out how to, how to trip up Trump and the administration, because that's what they do. The media, same thing. They'll try and dispirit the American people. They push disunity, as I've said. I'm just very proud of what's, what we're capable of here. This is the most humane war you can imagine.
- [74:52]
Lee Smith
And it's not really a war, it's
- [74:53]
Mark Levin
a peace mission, as I keep saying over and over again. 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. 888-585 IFCJ. That's 888-585-IFCJ or online at levin for the fellowship.org that's L E V I N for the fellowship.org he's here. He's here now broadcasting them from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non descript building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 877-3813, 811-877-3813,. You know, we have a lot of exciting things going on here, truly. You've got a brand new video podcast that I'm very proud of that I think you'll enjoy called Liberty's Voice. You can watch it on YouTube and rumble. Rumble's been really, really good to us and I'd encourage you to check it out over the course of the weekend when you can sit back and watch it a little bit. Liberty's voice again in YouTube on rumble. You can follow us on YouTube. You can subscribe. It's absolutely free. There's no subscription prices or anything of that kind of. So I'd encourage you to check it out if you can, tonight or over the weekend. We've got two brand new shows. I'll be doing them tomorrow night and Sunday night, 8pm Eastern with truly great guests, truly great guests. We've got General Keane Sunday and others as well. We've got Peter Schweitzer on Saturday night and others as well. It's all on the, on our social sites where we, we keep that information for you. And I feel we do one of the best radio shows in America. We certainly try to, I certainly try to and we really enjoy doing that. So we got a lot of things going on. There's a lot of things going on in the country. We're trying to, to pull together the radio, the video podcast, the TV elements and increase the size of all of our audiences. So if you care about what's going on in this country, you're in the right place. You truly are. On this radio show where we have wonderful affiliates and satellite and all the other people who help us get the word out. We're very, very grateful to everybody, grateful to Westwood One that syndicates this program, grateful to Fox for our weekend program. By the way, I think it was Tayron Kelly who said Mark can't make it. He's a weekend host. Let me tell you something. I can't do a show on Fox during the week when I'm doing three hours of radio in the week to do it well and to do it right. And I write my own books. I want to do them well and do them right and have a little bit of time and not enough for a family. That was my choice. I was recruited to do TV and then I was recruited to do it Saturday and Sunday. And I'm very proud of it because none of that's possible without you. None of it. So I hope with these weekend shows, I hope you will watch them tomorrow night, 8pm Eastern. Set your DVR. That's the easiest way. And the same with Sunday. Set your DVR 8:00pm Eastern Time. We love having you and we're going to have a really fun time and we're going to have very educational, important, substantive time. I think what I'm going to do tomorrow night is really lay into the Democrats. I'm thinking about my monologue for tomorrow. I think I got to really lay into them. I mean, what they're doing and how they're trying to sabotage our armed forces and the president, United States. So there'll be some of that. I'm just telling you, I've checked notes already. As you know, I write my own stuff, all of it. And then I will be on Hannity tonight. You'll want to tune in at 9pm Eastern time. I'm not sure when my so called hit is, but 9pm Eastern time. He always has a great show. He's a good guy. And so we will be on that right after the radio program, immediately after the radio program. So we have a lot going on and very excited about what all these platforms and all the things that we're doing. And of course, being the person who decided to get us into this war and is leading us into this war, you might want to listen, according to Tayron Kelly and Chris Matthews, who I thought was banned from TV for bad behavior or something, these people always come back. You know, they always come back. They're like, like cockroaches. They always come back and they're not accomplished. I don't even know they spent their entire lives in media. I haven't. We've litigated some of the most important cases in the country or I did my prior life with our great band of great lawyers at Landmark Legal Foundation. But here we are. It's very weird. I Mean, who are these people? Are they accomplished? What have they done? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. What have they done for the country? Absolutely zero. Nothing. Each one of them. AOC on Capitol Hill with a reporter. Cut eight. Go. The reality that we have here is very clear, by the way, she's with the Democratic Socialists of America who work very closely with the Communist Chinese, very closely with the Communist Cubers or Cubans or whatever Sanders calls them, and very closely. He did with Maduro or they did. And now she's going to tell us what to think because she's so smart. Go ahead. The reality that we have here is very clear. The vast majority of Americans are against a war. The vast majority of Americans are against communists like you. And they're really worried about what the vast majority of Americans believe, aren't they? We voted in Trump and they've been trying to kneecap him every step of the way. The vast majority of Americans. They only believe in the vast majority of Americans if they believe that the vast majority of Americans believe with them. I don't know. Last poll we saw, 92% of MAGA supports what Trump is doing. And I'll tell you what, if this was explained properly to the nation, that this is an effort to protect us, and then we go through piece by piece what this regime has done, the vast majority of the American people, even Democrats, would be with us. Maybe not, maybe not them. They've been so radicalized. But I don't know aothe. She won't come on the program. Newsom won't come on the program. None of these reprobates will come on the program. I'm not complaining. I'm just explaining because I would say to her, is it okay the way this regime treats women? They have to cover their face and their hair and they're beaten. And that's okay. Is that okay with you, aoc? It's none of our business. None of our business. That's fine. But when that same country is building nuclear weapons to attack us, I would think that is our business. Can you imagine me grilling her for about an hour, Mr. Producer? Same with this guy Newsom. There's such. Well, you wouldn't debate. Chuck. I don't debate Nazis. I don't debate Klansmen. I don't debate mental patients. It's not what I do. I don't platform them, I don't promote them. I'd have a whole line of this. These scumbags trying to get on this press. It's not going to happen. And honestly, I wanted to Debate him last time, but my wife pulled me back, said, you're going to be giving him a platform and then you're going to have the gripers at the TP USA Audience said, all right, all right, all right. But you see what he does. He makes Goebbels look like an amateur. I'm not accusing him of being Goebbels unless he feels that way. I'm saying he makes Goebbels look like an amateur. The way he puts together the clips. Look what he did to Huckabee. Now Huckabee smarter than him. And Huckabee was outstanding. And of course they put out the whole video just to make sure the whole world was see? But see how he twists and turns. And it's not a debate when you're arguing with a liar, a mental patient, a woke Reich R E I C H propagandist, an Islamist promoter, a Christian hater, a Jew hater. What's the debate? I don't even know. What are we debating exactly? There's nothing to debate. Now, if it's somebody who's really smart and serious and substantive, fine. But I'm not going to debate the legitimacy of my faith and ancient history with a scumbag like him or anybody else for that matter. We're not going to debate the legitimacy of Catholicism. We're not going to debate the legitimacy of Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity generally. No. What's the debate, stupid? I should debate whether Winston Churchill is the reason we had World War II and the Third Reich and not Hitler. What's the debate? He's a mental patient. Then there's this comic, and he's not even a comic. He's not even funny. He's a punk. I'm not even going to give you his name. He wants to debate every. Of course you will. Because no matter what happens, you're getting attention, tension. It's like the mental patient in the padded room wearing the straight jacket. Come in, debate me as he's spitting his pills up on his chest now. That's okay. You, you, you hang in there. You do your thing. Nobody's ever even heard of the guy. What's the joke? He's the joke. There's just a whole line of these losers. It's. It's grotesque. He got a magazine now. Really a website called the American Conservative. I believe it was founded by Papua Ken. It. There's nothing conservative about should be called Neo Fascism, American style, you know, like American Marxism. It should be American Neo Fascism. It's what it should be. And you have this punk who always looks like he just rolled out of bed and hit his head on the floor. What's his name? Mills or Mill or something like, I don't even know who he. He's got the IQ of a lobster. He's good at repetition and slogans like Marxists. He's just in line. Part of the Israel hating, Jew hating, Trump hating, America hating crowd. We're America first. Shut up, you idiot. You don't even know what you're talking about. The whole line of these. There's a UFC fighter. What's that guy? Jack. Jack, what is it? Rich Sherman, Something like that. This guy's been punched so many times. I mean, the things he says. No, I don't listen to them. There's clips that I listen to a clip for about 14 seconds. I said, what the hell is this? What the hell is this? It's a loser UFC fighter. And I love the ufc. And I love the fact I just hate the Nazis, you know, this guy, in my humble opinion. Well, I mean, if you're praising these. These Third Reich guys, if you're making excuses for them and you're platforming people who rewrite our history, what. What am I supposed to call them? Kumquats? I don't know. Apples. They're not thinkers. They're not scholars. They're not debaters. They're. They're nuts. Nuts. There was a brilliant piece written by somebody who goes by the name of Insurrection Barbie, and I posted on my site. I don't think she's a big fan of mine. I have no reason to know why or why not. It doesn't really matter. It just doesn't. And if somebody writes a great piece, a brilliant piece she wrote, don't get me wrong, she's never attacked me. But the piece is brilliant in and of itself, and I have linked to it because I want to get this kind of information to you. And it really does put a lot of these pieces together about what's happening to the country. And the bottom line is, she points out that there's this Russian who was born in 1962. He was considered a scholar over there and one of sort of the counterintelligence people. And he devised this whole process to use against America, turning Americans against America. And the focal point was, and I'm not doing it justice, it's a long piece, and you really should read it. And it's up on my social sites. It's about how one of the key. One of the key targets and one of the key aspects of this is to destroy the relationship between Jews and Christians. This whole thing of the Judeo Christian belief system. Because if you destroy that, you destroy the core foundational principle of the United States. And when you turn the Jews and the Christians against each other, remember this guy's a communist and counterintelligence type of individual. You bring down in his view, the entire society. And you can see that's what Carlson does, that's what Tehran Kelly does. And she points out the biggest advocate of this is Bannon, even though he's a big fat slob. The biggest advocate of this is Bannon and he kind of spells it out and Katarlson picks it up and he spells it out and Fuentes is another one who uses it. I commend that to you to read it over the weekend. It's a long piece, read it right to the end. I've shared it with a couple of people who you would know were really smart and they said wow, this really is. She's really onto this. Insurrection Barbie. Take a look at that. It's all over my social media. I encourage you to read it. We'll be right back. Mud Love end. You didn't start a business just to keep the lights on. You're here to sell more today than yesterday.

More than 9 in 10 mega voters back operation Epic fury poll finds. It's a real poll too. 93% of self described MAGA or Trump conservatives also said they approve of the United States Israel alliance. Now let's just stop there. So that means these so called influencers aren't influencers at all. They're in a tiny fraction of a minority of individuals who side with the democrats, the Marxists, the Islamists, the communist Chinese, the Russians and the Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran. MAGA 93% and these guys go around saying they speak for a minute. You didn't run on this. You didn't say shut the hell up. More than 9 in 10 self described MAGA or Trump conservatives say they approve of the joint U S Israeli campaign against the Iranian regime according to a new poll from the Vandenberg coalition and target point shared Exclusively with the Washington Free Beacon. The survey was conducted between March 3 and 5 with a sample of 1,232 respondents who voted for President Trump in 2024. And they broke down respondents in the camps of traditional conservatives, MAGA or Trump, Conservative, moderate Republicans and libertarian. And over 84% of Trump voters survey said they approve of the military campaign against the Iranian regime. Regime. Just 14% disapprove. 83% of those who identify with the MAGA movement believe US Israeli strikes in the first few days of the operation have made the United States safer. On a wider scale, 92% of Maga respondents said they agreed with the statement that President Trump's use of force against Iran will help deter future attacks from our adversaries. Libertarians, according to the poll, are the group on the right most likely to oppose the military engagement. Even so, 74% of libertarians surveyed reported approving of the campaign. So you got guys like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie who claim to be libertarians. They're way out of line with all these other people. Way out of line. The poll also includes a question about the military partnership between the U.S. and Israel. 93% of MAGA or Trump conservatives reported supporting that alliance. 80% of all Trump voters between the ages of 18 and 29 surveyed said the same thing. The poll comes as certain figures like podcaster Tucker Carlson seek to make the case the campaign against the Islamic republic is out of step with maga's base. Well, it appears that he's out of step with MAGA's base. Trump said MAGA is saving our country. Mag. MAG is making our country great again. MAGA is America first. Tucker's none of those things. And he is really not smart enough to understand that. That's all true, for sure. I'll be right back. Mark Levin, the champion of liberty and true conservatism. Call Mark now. 877-381-3811. Yeah. Oh, I think I lost the page, Mr. Producer. You want to send me the last two? All right. He knows what I'm talking about, America. This guy, you know, this guy, Rich Cementa, who's been with me forever, he can, like, read my mind. It's frightening, actually. I can say, well, he said, this is what you need. That's what you. The guy, he's unbelievable. Rich, you are unbelievable. Unbelievable. You're a good man. By the way, the. About a month ago, they said I hated Catholics. Do you remember that one? They have thrown everything in the kitchen sink at me. It's hilarious. But the truth, they don't like the truth. But we're all about the truth here. We're all about facts. Mondami at a press conference today. You know, his wife is linked to multiple social media posts celebrating Oct. 7. Are you aware of that? The slaughter. The slaughter. She's the first lady of New York City. She should be considered the first terrorist supporting Islamist of New York City. Listen to this. He's asked about it. Cut 10. Go.

Lee Smith
You should have a chance, I think, to respond to this.

Mark Levin
It's an off topic question. I'd like to know what your reaction was to the article in the Jewish Insider that was posted about your wife's social media activity.
- [96:59]
Lee Smith
And what I'm wondering is, you know,
- [97:01]
Mark Levin
you're an elected official.
- [97:03]
Lee Smith
She is not.
- [97:05]
Mark Levin
How? Ask the question and then shut your big mouth. Go ahead. It's fair to question you about it. You know, my wife is the love of my life and she's also a private person who has held. Held no formal position on my campaign or in my city hall. I, however, was elected to represent all 8 1/2 million people in this city. And I believe that it's my responsibility because of that role to answer any questions about my thoughts and my policies and my decisions. Okay, so she's a private person who hates Jews. Mr. Producer. His wife. Good to know. Just like Daddy and Mommy. Just like daddy. Mom. And he loves her with all his heart, of course. So she's a private person who hates Jews. That's okay, right? First lady. Never been involved in her campaign or anything, but of course she does talk to him. He is married to her. This guy, Gavin Newsom. You know, he wasn't really on my radar before, but he certainly is now. I mean, we've talked about him, but I'm talking about really on my radar now. He is such a chameleon. You know what he is? He's basically Megyn Kelly in pants. Although I guess she wears pants too. But you get my point, Mr. Producer, he's Megyn Kelly in pants. He's had a position over here, then a position over there. I can't say happy hooker because I use that for catarall. So he's sort of the happy hooker of podcasters. You could probably say that about Megyn Kelly. You can definitely say that about this guy Newskim as a politician. Here he goes. Cut 11. Go. What I can't accept today, though, is what Bibi Netanyahu is doing now. This is the fallback position. When you hate Israel and hate the Jews, you Talk about Bibi Netanyahu. Now, who taught us that? Who wrote Rules for Radicals? Mr. Producer. So they're doing their Saul Alinsky, by the way. You get an A for that. They're doing their Saul Alinsky. They're doing their Saul Alinsky. So go after Netanyahu. Even had a guy named Yitzhak. Cats. Yitzchak cats. Israel's not Netanyahu, you know. Oh, gee, I'm sorry. Thank you for educating me. So all the people who hate Netanyahu, this is what they're the greatest leader in the history of Israel, which is young country. He's one of the greatest leaders in the history of the Jews for the Jewish people. No question about it. Go ahead. What I can't accept today, though, is what Bibi Netanyahu is doing in Israel. And I just can't countenance that. And that was, you know, good. People can disagree. I don't like. I don't like the direction he's going. And I was specifically referring to a Tom Friedman column. Tom Friedman. Friedman is such a sick bastard, in my humble opinion. And I say that with all due respect, of course. It's just disgusting. Of course he cites Thomas Friedman. You know, Thomas Friedman. I've been exposing him as he exposes himself now for years and years and years. And he's been wrong about everything. The Biden regime loved him. Go ahead. Week where Tom used that word of apartheid as it relates to the direction Bibi is going, particularly on the annexation of the West Bank. And so tell me something. Where's their apartheid in Israel? Anywhere? Tell me. They have a separate court system. In fact, they have a tyrannical court system, the things that runs 90% of that country. But I want to know, where's the apartheid? You know, the funny. Yes. The Christians there, they say no. Yes. The Arabs there, some of whom are Muslim, some of whom are Christian, they say no. You ask the Jews there, they say no. Yes. The Jews there, they say no. If you've ever been there for a period of time, it is an enormously diverse population. They even have people from Ethiopia who are Jews. They brought them into the United States, into Israel as well. You want to talk about apartheid? A hole loser. Governor, Mr. No fire hydrant. Why don't you go into one of those Arab countries? Yeah. Go in there and see how much diversity they have. This guy's such a pig. Go ahead. And I.

I can't sit back in the spirit of this book, in the spirit, you know, that defined marriage equality and this, you know, in terms of, of, you know, my values, marriage equality, you know, gay people have rights in Israel. Do gay people have rights in any Arab country? Mr. Minus, of course not. Listen to this buffoon. The Arabs have two parties in the Knesset. They have members in the Knesset. They have a member on the Supreme Court. They have members as judges. They have full voting rights. The Jews in most of the Arab countries are killed. Same with the Christians. Just listen to this moron. Go ahead, watch that. I disagree with you. Shut up, you idiot. Make us dumber just by not even dilute by looking at you. Just a complete buffoon. All right, don't forget I'll be on Hannity right after this show. I think it's like 9:25 is when I'm supposed to be on. Tends to be delayed about, you know, 10 minutes. But 9:25, but you ought to turn and watch the whole show. It's very, very good show. We'll be right back. Mud. Fox News is now streaming live on Fox 1.

Let us go to Mike Bangar main the great wbom. Is that right? Go right ahead, sir. It is. Mark, first of all, I would like to apologize to you. Why? Well, a month ago I called in about Tucker Carlson and did my research. You're a great American, Mark, and I wanted to apologize that because I questioned you on a lot of stuff and I have nothing to say. But I'm sorry. First of all, don't say you're sorry. Secondly, it's a very kind call. And thirdly, I want people to do their own research. It's all out there. It really is. I'm not making a damn thing up. And the idea that we should debate him about my faith, the history of my faith, whether it's legitimate. Don't debate people like that over their faith or anything else. It's just he's a media whore, among others things. So I just can't, you know. But I think he's very diabolical and I think I'm not alone in that regard. And that's growing. People can see it. He's like a psyop for the Russians, really. This whole idea about destroying Judeo Christian belief systems, turning Christians against Jews, trashing Christian Zionists, promoting Islamists, promoting Islamist countries Promoting taking the greatest generation and mocking them. You know, I don't know how you can claim to be supporting America and Americanism and embrace anything this fool has to say. That's just me, Mike. You know, whatever. No, no, you're right, Mark. I do my research. I. I'm not like the Democrats. They just go on, you know, believe in what everybody else says. You got to do your research. And what I've come to conclude is, you know, our country is stronger with people like you and I. Wrong. And I hope you can forgive me. And I hope you let me call in. I hope you let me call in occasionally. Yes, of course, Mike. By the way, how's that. How's that Senate election going up there? Believe it or not, Susan Collins is the most conservative of the bunch. So, I mean. Well, she's actually a rhino, actually. No question. No, she's a rhino. There's no question. Yeah, she's a rhino. We're in a lot of trouble right now. Well, you have messy, really putting the. Oh, my God. We got a couple that are okay, but nothing really spectacular. And when you look at this Murkowski, my God, it's just unbelievable, you know, but the state tends to send liberals, whether the Republicans or Democrats, doesn't it, to washing up here. I think they're. They're pretty close to the same in the same respect. I mean, these people don't know there's
- [107:18]
Lee Smith
a boundary between conservative and Democrats.
- [107:20]
Mark Levin
I don't think they know that. I think they're all right there at the same point because nothing has ever changed in this state. We're still over taxed. We're over, over everything that we. We have is overpaid for.
- [107:36]
Lee Smith
Yeah.
- [107:36]
Mark Levin
And it's too bad. It's such a beautiful state. It really is. It's a beautiful, beautiful state. Mike, great call. We appreciate you. No need to apologize. Don't be a stranger.
