Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-813811-87733-8811, 3811. Well, the breaking news in the last few minutes is this. Eric Swallow Swahil is right. Eric Swalwell is resigning from the House of Representatives. And I think he's resigning from the House because he knows otherwise he would be expelled. And so he's not going to run for governor. He is now expelled from the House of Representatives. There's an ethics investigation that may end that. There's an investigation in New York over whether he violated tax laws there with the illegal alien from Brazil who worked for him. And there's no investigations taking place on whether he raped somebody and committed other sexual acts of a criminal nature. And so he just put out this statement. I'm deeply sorry to my family, staff and constituents for mistakes and judgments I've made in my past. I will fight the serious false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make. All right, so he's been lawyered. And what he's trying to say is, okay, maybe I was handsy, maybe I cheated on my wife, but I didn't rape anybody. That's what he's worried about. I'm aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members. Expelling anyone in Congress without due process within days of an allegation being made is wrong. But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress. I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able in my absence to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district. That's kind of a weird lawyered statement, if you will. So he'll be willing to admit to certain things, and he will not be willing to admit to criminal things. That's what I expect will take place here. He's been lawyered up. So let's go through some of this. First of all, this guy lived a life of abusing women, honestly, of abusing his wife by cheating on her, and not apparently once. These are the allegations and other acts of abuse of other women. He's a real pig, a real scumbag and maybe worse. I wonder how many of these people are in Congress. You know, they have that big sort of slush fund where they, where they make these deals and they, they cover them up. And there was a vote some time ago in the house, and over 300 members voted not to make the names available of those who participated in that sort of thing. But when you watch these people now who come out and attack Kavanaugh without any evidence whatsoever and so forth,

attack ICE or talk about Donald Trump and all the rest, and then you see who some of these people really are. Now, this came out a few days ago. Four women detail horrific sexual assault misconduct claims against Swalwell, including ex staffer who alleges he raped her. New York Post, Annie Gause. Four women have accused married Eric Swalwell of horrific acts of sexual assault and misconduct, including a former staffer who claims he raped her. The California governor candidate. His campaign was hanging by thread Friday. Well, it's not hanging anymore. It's over. One of the women, a former staffer, claimed he raped her when she was drunk and left her bruised and bleeding during the alleged 2024 attack. She also claims she woke up naked next to him in a hotel room in 2019 after a heavy night of drinking and felt physically like they had had sex. Now, of course, the defense there will be, wait a minute, that's 2019. And then you accused me of something. 2024. Why didn't you leave me? I don't care what the defense is. The fact is this guy's a pig. Another woman who said she first met Swoa online alleged that she also awoke next to him in a hotel after a drunken night out, adding he allegedly kissed her and touched her leg without consent. And social media influencer Ali Samarco, who are these influencers, claimed he had sent her nudes on Snapchat after they started talking about politics on X. So he knows if in fact he did it. And he probably did that. There's no escaping that. Kind of like wiener. Remember wiener, Mr. Producer? Oh, yeah. Kobe hall remembers Wiener. I think over there media. In fact, if you take a really close look at Kobe Hall, I know who is Kobe Hall. But if you cut a close look at him and Swalwell, there is a resemblance, physical resemblance. Of course, I would never accuse Kobe hall of being a pervert or pedophile or anything of that kind. Or a woman abuser. I don't believe he is Mr. Producer. Do you believe he is? No. No way. Democrats came out in force on Friday demanding Swalwell pull out of the governor's race, including Nancy Pelosi. Now, Pelosi was sort of the mob queen who protected this guy from Fang Fang Fang Fang. Hakeem Jeffries, Peter Aguilar, Catherine Clark, all issued a joint statement demanding swell immediately in his campaign. The California Teachers association called him to quit. So all the lefties now trying to cover their backsides, that's what they're doing. Now there's this guy from Arizona who's best friends with Eric Swo. He's said to be a pig, too. Now, I don't know if he's a pig to this extent, but he said to have. Well, to have cheated on his wife. Now, do I know that that's a fact? I hear it is, but I don't personally know. The fallout from accusations of sexual misconduct against Representative Eric Swalwell may affect more than just him, says the New York Post, as some are raising questions about his best friend, Senator Ruben Galleo, Democrat of Arizona. And in his staunch defense of his disgraced congressman, Swalwell on Monday expressed his intention to resign from Congress. That's today. Following damning allegations that he raped and sent nude pictures to younger women, including staffers. That's like that schmuck Gonzalez from Texas. They ought to kick his ass out of Congress too, quite frankly. I mean, I think this is tip of the iceberg here. Swoa had been facing an investigation by the House Ethics Committee prior to the resignation. Galeo, whom Swalwell once described as my best friend in the world, leapt the Swalwell's defense as disturbing rumors circulated that the East Bay congressman had sexually harassed staffers and asked them to sign NDAs non disclosure agreements. When you are in first place is when they target you. Eric is a fighter and he will win the governor's race, Gallego said last Tuesday. Now he's changed his stripe since then. His Democrat influencers spread allegations that a shocking story about Swola was about to drop. Galejo cast doubt on their claims on Friday after a San Francisco Chronicle reported that Swalwa had sexually assaulted a former staffer while drunk. Congress Senator Gallejo made an abrupt U turn and rescinded his endorsement. I regret having come to his defense on social media prior to knowing all the information. I'm equally shocked and upset about what has transpired. He said he has who has been floated, I.e. gallego, as a potential 2028 contender for the White Are you kidding me? Can we do better than this slop? And he was torched for a sudden about face about his pal Swalwell. Two have been close political and personal friends and have ties. Leo chaired Swalwell's 2020 presidential bid and the two at campaign events together. Swalwell reportedly attended Galeo's wedding in Puerto Rico in 2021 and the two were heavily criticized for accepting an $85,000 trip the Doha Qatar. Everybody goes to Qatar, Mr. Producer. Yeah. Posing shirtless together while riding on camels, The Arizona Democrat allegedly spent $13,000 on campaign funds on Finer, an AI startup launched by Swalwell. Swalwell's pitching of his startup, the congressional members have brought up conflict of interest concerns. Galeo also gave 8,000 to Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign. He was also chairman for Swalwell's 2020 presidential campaign. An important question everyone should be asking what did Senator Ruben Galleo know and when did he know it? Wrote Democratic influencer Yashir Ali on X. This word influencer has taken off, hasn't it Mr. Producer? And most of them don't know who the hell these people are. The idea that Ruben Galileo didn't know this was going on is ridiculous. Added Republican operative Matt Whitlock. The public is now scrutinizing Gallego's own history with women. He reportedly served divorce papers to his pregnant ex wife and later got into a relationship with his current wife Sydney Barron, who was 25 when they met. Swal attended their wedding. That's kind of a weird way of putting it. So his wife is pregnant, he serves divorce papers on her and then he marries this 25 year old woman. Swala continues to insist the allegations are false. Okay, is there more? I fear there is. This is from msn.com and we know they're always truthful, but we know it's truthful because it's them regurgitating what Fox News reports California reported claims Eric Swalwell's conduct was known raises questions about local support. Now, if Eric Swalwell's conduct was known, why didn't they report it? Mr. Producer East Bay political journalist and author Steve Tavares said in a Saturday social media post that allegations surrounding Eric Swalwell's behavior toward women were widely known among local officials shortly after he entered Congress in 2013. So this has been going on for years, ladies and gentlemen, and the Democrats knew it and they kept it secret. And then they backed him for Congress and they kept it secret then. And then he was a big public figure and they kept it secret still. And he ran for president in the Democrat primary for about 14 minutes and they kept it secret. And then he wants to run for governor. And up till recently they kept it secret again. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of local government and the Alameda County Democrat Party, tavares wrote. Well, did Tavares know about it? I tried repeatedly to get the stories out. I can't force women to speak out when they chose not to. I didn't push. I also knew that SWOA was known to threaten litigation. Swalwell faces calls to resign and of course he is. Tavares also emphasized his long standing coverage of Swalwell. I've covered Eric Swalwell since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Didn't get it twist, don't get it twisted. Nobody has been more critical of Swalwell over the years. In a separate April 6 edition of his East Bay Insiders Newsletter, Tavares outlined that he described as challenges facing swoa closer to home, particularly within Alameda County Democratic circles. Let's be honest, this was a cover up of Democrats, elected Democrats, Democrat operatives and the media. And the media. Let's be honest. For a candidate who could plausibly contend for governor in the nation's most powerful state, Eric Swalwell's base has supported almost strikingly thin, tavares wrote. The reasons are both ideological and personal. Despite his high profile opposition to President Trump, many Democratic insiders in Alameda county do not view Swalwell as a reliable progressive. Oh, he's not a reliable leftist. Over time, his position support of law enforcement, past rhetoric on border security, unwavering backing of Israel. It placed him out of step with the prevailing politics of the deep blue East Bay. So like so many Democrats, he's a chameleon and he changed positions. Now he's a bomb thrower. The left. Well, now he's got his own problems. Early in his congressional career, Swalwell unseated two well regarded local figures, Pete Stark, who was a nut, and later Ellen Corbett. Moves that while politically successful, left lingering resentment for, well, look, lingering resentment. But nobody, nobody pulled the plug on this guy, did they, Mr. Producer? Except the women who came forward. And there's a lot of suspicion now because two Republicans are leading in this, what they call, I think, jungle pac, which they set up. The two top. The two top vote getters run off against each other for governor. That way they blew out the Republican Party. The problem is there were too many Democrats splitting the vote among themselves. So it literally helps the Democrats when Swalwell goes out. You understand what I'm saying, America? More when I return. Gold just had its biggest year since 1979, up 67%. 53 new all time highs 30, then blew past $5,500 in January. Right now, almost every major bank on Wall street, they're telling their clients this is the buy window before gold hits 6, 7, even $8,000. Meanwhile, silver is sitting on a structural supply deficit for the sixth straight year, meaning there's not enough silver for industrial use. Many central banks in China, Poland, Brazil, India are buying gold at record prices. Now's the time to diversify, ladies and gentlemen, with silver and gold. Call Monetary Gold today.

Now, Politico is a sleazy operation, but they're reporting on a sleazy guy. So there you go. House Ethic panel opens Eric Swalwell investigation. It's looking at sexual misconduct allegations. I believe once you resign or you lose office or whatever, that stops. That stops. But they said Monday, they said today, it's investigating Swalwell facing charges and allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. And these allegations were first reported in the San Francisco Chronicle and then cnn. And off to the races it went. We'll be right back. Foreign silver is now in its sixth consecutive year of structural supply deficit, meaning demand is outpacing supply of silver every single year. Solar energy alone is Projected to consume 160-194,000,000 oz. Of silver this year because silver is irreplaceable in solar cell technology and the world is using more and more silver. There's no substitute, folks. Silver is currently trading at a great price, 71 to $80 per oun, hitting $121 earlier this year. That's the zigzag I talk about.

So Health Ethics committee today was launching an ethics investigation, but that'll die now because the man's resigning. And so now he knows his political career is dead. He probably knows his marriage is dead. And now he's just trying to figure out how to stay out of prison. Politico, which really is a nasty piece of work, but nonetheless for a nasty guy. The whisper network that caught up to Eric Swalwell. The whisper network. So all these people are whispering about this guy, but nobody's speaking out. Except now these women have come out and I want to get into that in a moment. Warnings about the lawmaker had long circulated privately. Then a handful of women and online creators pushed them into public view, forcing California's political establishment to reckon with how far he got. Hmm. How about that? Now who runs California? The Democrats? This is the problem with corrupt one party rule. Five months before, Ariella Fodder, better known on social media as Mrs. Frazzled, helped set in motion the downfall of Representative Eric Swallow while she was singing his praises on Instagram. You know how I love to tell you when I meet a politician who acts like a normal human and not a robot? She posted the day after California Democrat launched his campaign for governor. Eric is that it was a fairly enidan post for Fodor, a prodigious professional poster. But it drew an unusual response. Three people privately warning her that Swalwell was no good. Well, I would have warned them that Swalwell is no good. And I didn't even know all this stuff, Mr. Producer. Those messages were the embers of a firestorm that in short order incinerated Swalwell's campaign and is now engulfing what remains of his political career. He has no political career. Swalwell suspended his campaign Sunday and of course he's resigning from Congress. We now heard about an hour ago, days after multiple news outlets reported on allegations he sexually harassed women at sexual relationships with subordinate staff and in two cases committed sexual assault. That would be rape. Swoa has denied accusations he had non consensual sex with anybody. Excuse me. Though he acknowledged personal failings, the broad contours of Swalwell's alleged behavior, if not the specifics, did not come as a surprise to many working in and around politics, especially in Washington. Here I have a question. We have aggregation sites, right, Mr. Producer, like Mediaite or the Drudge Report or Media Matters or these other left wing sites. They're gossip sites. They basically work with Democrats most of the time. They all talk to each other. The media do. A site calls itself Mediaite, it's watching the media, it's reporting on the media. They go to social events, they go to cafes together, they put out lists, they do all this. How did Mediaite not know about this or the Drudge Report not know about this or Media Matters not know about it? How's that possible? If there's a whispering campaign and it involves Democrats and these are Democrat institutions, Dan Abrams is a Democrat and the rest of them are Democrats. How is it possible? Seriously, Swalwell suspended his campaign, blah, blah, blah. Now, the broad contours of his alleged behavior, they should say misbehavior. If not the specifics, did not come as a surprise to many working in around politics, especially in Washington. The 45 year old cable news darling and Trump antagonist had developed a reputation for unsavory and sometimes unwanted behavior toward women. Well, did CNN know about this? Did msnlc, did they know about it? Those warnings were shared in whisper networks, but rarely traveled outside the circle of political insiders. I just find that incredibly hard to believe. I think they viewed this guy as a bomb thrower against Trump, a bomb thrower against Republicans. I really do. And so they gave him a pass. That is until Swalwell sought a promotion to lead the nation's most populous state and a pair of content creators worked to spill that open secret into public view. His breakneck undoing is a testament to the striking power of a new media ecosystem in which influencers with huge audiences can not only publicize politicians, but control the political conversation. This is so overrated. It's not even funny. It's so overstated. It's not even funny. It may be that in this case that they were able to do what they did. But the influencers certainly on the right have no influence whatsoever. Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, they're being mocked. Alex Jones, you know, Bannon Fuentes, they're not even on the right. They even deny being on the right. They even deny being maga. But they are mocked. They are humiliated. Now online, they have no influence whatsoever. None. And the people who've defended them are promoting them and have grifted off of them. They're going to go down with them. That's the truth. On paper was a lopsided matchup. Swalwell had a national profile and support from many of the Democrat Party apparatus. Fodder and another content creator, Cheyenne Hunt, along with behind the scenes help from Hunt's friend, a woman who alleged she had been personally harassed by Swalwell and still remains anonymous, had their keyboards and iPhone cameras. It's not that these onliners are so influential. It's that the other media didn't do their job. It's that newspaper business, TV business. They didn't do their job. Mediaite, the Drudge Report, they didn't do their job. People were saying they're paid. This is backed by a billionaire. This is Roger Stone, this is maga, fodder said. In the end, it was three women in a group chat trying everything in our power. It really has just been us. Swalwell did not respond to a request for a comment on a detailed list of questions. This account is based on 20 interviews with Campaign staffers, content creators, lawmakers and people from major labor and business organizations. Many were granted anonymity to speak candidly about private discussions. Together they tell the story of Swalwell's political implosion and a political establishment not confronting its own enabling his rise. I doubt they have any circumspection. They're utterly unethical. We're willing to delude ourselves or not ask questions that should have been asked 1,000%, said a veteran Sacramento lobbyist who worked with interests backing Swalwell. Do people see what they want to see or hear what they want to hear or not ask questions they didn't want the answers to? 1,000%. And that's not just in Sacramento. That's in Washington, D.C. where you have this horse relationship, this incestuous relationship between the media and the Democrats. Let's be honest. There was ubiquitous cable news hits and prominent roles in President Trump's to impeachment. Swoa had made himself a national figure in political and Democrat politics. But when he launched his campaign for governor on November 20, was essentially a stranger in California's political circles. No, he wasn't. They just finished saying Mr. Producer, did they not? About the whisper campaign in Sacramento. So he's not a stranger there. And this guy Tavares, who's a local reporter in his district, he knew about him. He didn't say was a secret either. So what are they talking about? He was so unfamiliar with his state's capital city that while gazing at the view of the Capitol dome from a near nearby high rise, he pointed at the construction for the sprawling 1.1 billion state office overall alongside it and asked if they were building condos, according to someone who heard the comment. But as he courted political insiders, Swalwell's blank slate became the pitch. People could see what they wanted to see. To progressive labor unions, he was an anti Trump warrior. To business groups, he was a moderate. Ex prosecutor, his campaign strategist would acknowledge. To lobbyists he was light on policy, but argued that just meant he was still malleable. What a phony article here from Politico. We just didn't know who he was. In California, there's something for everyone. Pitch arrived precisely when Sacramento power players were feeling especially gloomy about the governor's race. Many had waited to see if Kamala Harris would jump in and then pinned their hopes on Alex Padilla. Both opting out of the race threw the contest wide open. Now it was November, and practically none of the major interests had chosen a candidate. Operatives were getting antsy. The top three contenders, Swalwell, Katie Porter and Tom Steyer, three stooges, I might add, were all relative outsiders to the insular world of the Capitol. Swellwell relied on two of his House colleagues, Representative Adam Gray and Jimmy Gomez, who both served in the state legislature, to introduce him around town. Gradually, key members of Gavin Newsom Circle joined his campaign. Oh, Gavin. And the governor's chief consulting firm, Bear Star Strategy, stood up. A pro Swalwell independent expenditure campaign. Newsom never endorsed in the contest, but having his team on board boosted Swalwell's credibility. But as Swalwell was cruising into the upper echelons of the political class, he was dogged by a social media post that Michael Trujillo, a longtime political consultant, had dashed off in early December. Quote, I guess Swalwell can enjoy today, but folks know he slept with many of his interns while he was married, sexually harassed others while engaged, has a ton of weird texts late at night, saved on former interns phones. Still, he gets the. Will he have to answer for his sick behavior in the campaign? Right. Endorse at your own peril. You have been fully warned. Just doing my public service today, he wrote. Okay, so he writes that, right? So what media outlet picked up on that? What media outlet picked up on that? What aggregation outlet picked up on that? Media. The Drudge Report. Media matters. No, because they're all Democrats. They're all leftists. Oh, they'll throw a, you know, Republican a bone every now and then, but that's, that's who they are. Suoa had been on Trujillo's radar since 2017 after he said he heard a story, which has not been independently confirmed by Politico about a friend of a friend who had a negative experience with the congressman. Throughout the years he had collected similar accounts, especially during Swalwell's short lived presidential campaign in 2019 when Swalwa went back to bring 1435 members of Congress, he found women who'd been willing to talk lost interest in sharing their stories. But now Swalwell was seeking a more powerful position. And what people have said rightly is the Democrat feel for governor has too many candidates. So why would the media pick up on it? Now this guy who wrote the Post in December, it was out there. These so called influencers, these three women, they've been pushing for months. Why now, Mr. Producer? Because it serves the Democrat party in California, does it not? Trujillo's post went viral, getting more than 140,000 views. And it caught the attention of the SmallWalk campaign, which sent him a cease and desist letter. Trujillo complied, but figured it was inevitable that Swalwell's behavior would come to light. I thought, holy s, everyone knows this is a thing. This will be the easiest story ever. Trujillo said he continued to pitch reporters on what he knew. I would like to know which reporters he pitched. Swalwa's allies were quick to discredit the source, as Trujillo is known for his social media bomb throwing. He's also a longtime aide to Antonio Verrigazo, who is running for governor, was working on an outside committee to support the former LA mayor. Still, the rumors circulated enough that power brokers were compelled to bring them up to Swalwell directly. Now, perverts and pedophiles and rapists and women abusers don't normally confess on the spot, do they, Mr. Badasse? I wouldn't think he must have said no. In endorsement interviews and over meals, he was asked if there was anything to the chatter, anything in the past that could damage not only him but his supporters. Swallow insisted there was not. What an arrogant sob. People are asking him questions. He's running for governor. He doesn't even step out. Then that's pretty shocking. Swellow insisted there was not. He told people he was one of Trump's favorite targets. Surely if there were any skeletons in his closet, the president's MAGA legion would have found them. Mm, mm, mm. I asked Eric a lot of questions and people that were close to him questions. Is there anything you don't have to tell me? What? Said Ian Kadaran, a former state lawmaker who ended his own campaign for governor March and endorsed Swalwell. I told him there are no secrets in politics, and if there's something, it will come out. He was indignant and adamant. Swalwell's campaign aides encouraged Sacramento insiders to ask him directly about the rumors. Surrogates and staffers amplified his denials, passing the message along. There's nothing to worry about. Allegations circulating are just rival campaigns looking to drag Swalwell down. Did Politico break this story? Mr. Odessa? No, I think they should be writing a story about themselves. They're called Politico, for God's sakes. They want you to believe that they know everything. Politics More when I return. I'll be right back. I'd like to tell you about a man named Phineas who as a child survived the Holocaust. Phineas survived because Christians hid him from the Nazis, risking everything to save his life. Today he's in his 80s. He can no longer stand on his own or leave his home to receive medical care. And when sirens sound and missiles fall, he doesn't have time or strength to reach safety. But once again, Christians are helping save his life. Through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. A mobile clinic brings doctors and medicine right to his home, providing care he wouldn't receive, especially in wartime. Christians saved my life during the Holocaust, phineas says. And now again, they're helping me. As Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day approaches, we honor survivors like Phinehas, not just with words, but with action. Please give $45, a tax deductible gift right now to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews to rush life saving essentials to the most vulnerable under fire in the holy land. Call 888-585 IFCJ. That's 888-585 IFCJ or online at levinforthefellowship.org that's L E V I N for the fellowship.org foreign. The Sacramento insiders use politics. Oh, by the way, we have breaking news. Another one bites the dust here. Bear with me. My wife just sent me this. Hold on one second. Tony Gonzalez, Remember the guy I mentioned at the beginning of the show? Another sleaze ball out of Texas, a Republican. He's announced that he's resigning now. So that's two. There's a couple more that need to go. Tony Gonzalez said he plans to resign from the House Tuesday, weeks after he admitted to having an affair with a staff member and that staff member committed suicide. There's a season for everything, and God has a plan for us all, he said. Okay. They hide behind God. Seriously. Come in, come in. Hold on. Let me silence my laptop here or you'll be hearing that all night. And also, I'm going to continue this. This is important, this lease crap that's going on in the House of Representatives, probably in the Senate, too. So I wasn't planning on it, but this is going to pour over to the next hour as well. I want you to remember, folks, Nancy Pelosi was the one pushing Swalwell for governor. Nancy Pelosi was the one who protected him when the Fang Fang Fong Fong thing came out and insisted he should stay on the Intelligence Committee. I want to remember this. Now she knows all about Sacramento. She was in control of so much coming out of California. Now, you know damn well she had to heard of this. I'll be right back.

Mark Levin
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 877-381-3811, 877-3811. So we'll continue with Swalwell for a while here before he fades into obscurity. While he may not fade totally into obscurity, given the various public activities that we'll take involving him, but I'm not going to start at the beginning of this very long Politico piece. It's amazing. Politico didn't break any news here. It's called Politico, right? Isn't supposed to know what's going on. To Sacramento insiders used to politicians hedging their language, the flat denials by Swellwell sounded definitive. We're so used to the qualifiers. And he said. I've never had any kind of relationship with anybody that I work with, said one influential operative. I feel so effing stupid. Well, that's because you are. Members of Congress said they also took Swalwell and key surrogates at their word. Why? They're hearing rumors. There's whisper campaigns going on, there's information online. One guy is trying to push it with reporters. I'd love to know which reporters blew him off, which reporter organizations blew him off. 2. Dozens of his colleagues endorsed him, lending his campaign credibility and a veneer of establishment backing. They all since pulled their endorsements while voicing shock at the allegations. These members, if they thought there was anything, do you think they would have endorsed him? Yes, I do. Because they figured he wouldn't get caught, because he hadn't gotten caught so far, that is. Maybe he had. But the media hadn't done their job. Many players took his assertions at face value or put perfunctory effort into digging around themselves. Meanwhile, the money was beginning to flow, and both pro Swalwell and anti styr outside groups were hitting the airwaves. He was about to be the next governor, said the senior campaign leader. He was a week or two shy. You could feel the momentum. Everybody believed it. The message his father got after her enthusiastic Swalwell post disturbed her. She said one warned her not to give him her personal number, claiming he had a pension for the late night sexts. Another alleged he slept with an intern. The third just sent up a vague flare. Uh oh, by the way, we're keeping track, or I am, of the responses we've been getting from media, from media aggregation sites and others all during the last 10 months, as I have done, I think, my. My job and my profession. Right in America. Right. By exposing Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon and others and the pushback that they have been involved in and the promotion of these people. I mean, I'll show you right now. Let's see here. Give me a second. Give me one second. Hold on one second. Give me one second. I know one second's up. You get my drift. Now, this guy, Kobe hall, runs this site, Mediaite. You know what his top story is? With all this stuff swirling around, Megyn Kelly slams Trump's blasphemous pic of him as Jesus. So they hate Trump so much they'll take a reprobate like Megyn Kelly who says the most grotesque things and really has no influence anymore, and use her to slam Trump. That's the nature of the beast, ladies and gentlemen, of this Mediaite, of this Dan Abrams site. That's how it works. The vast majority of you don't know Mediaite, don't know Dan Abrams, don't know this guy Kobe Hall. I'm going to make him infamous. But you get the point. And so rather than focusing on real news and digging up real news, it's gossip, it's this, it's that. And they protect their favorite people. Swalwell was protected. Don't think anything else. He was protected by the media. He was protected by the aggregation sites. They're all over Washington, D.C. they're socializing, they're partying. They have the correspondence dinner. They have all this stuff. It's not like they don't know. They don't want to say. Fodder. An elementary school teacher had made her name as an education influencer on TikTok and Threads, but she was increasingly establishing herself as a political force. She interviewed Newsom about his Proposition 15. She would travel to D.C. to interview lawmakers on the Hill. She began asking her contacts in Washington if they heard similar rumors. They add, but a few expected Swalwell to be called out publicly for his behavior. And yet all the talk about her, she really didn't break the story either. The women who were abused, they broke the story. She began asking her contacts in Washington if they heard similar rumors. They had, but few expected Swalwell to be called out publicly for his behavior. People were so downtrodden. But what they had experienced in D.C. to the point where people were like, listen, I've been broken. This is how men are. This is like what I've experienced in politics. This is what it's like up here. She said, well, now, listen to that. If that's true, and I don't know it to be the case, but if that's true, if that's what's going on on Capitol Hill, where are all the media stories? If that's what it's like up there, if that's what it's like up there, she cites this influence her father is saying and saying it based on what she was told, then why are we only hearing a handful of stories? I mean, that's a fair question, isn't it, Rich? The resignation only fueled Father further, especially, she said, when she heard from a sitting member of Congress that there was some truth behind the chatter. Fodder declined to name the lawmaker. See, that's the problem. She posted a vague comment in February expressing disappointment in a member of Congress, catching the attention of both Swalwell's campaign and his opponents. In mid March, Fodder got a text message from Yardina Wolf, who was then Swalwell's campaign manager and former chief of staff, saying she heard Fyler had concerns. Wolf attributed the chatter to a horrible rumor that started by a now deleted tweet from an opposing candidate, Stafford, quote unquote, and offered to reach out. This is one of the reasons I try to keep my distance from Capitol Hill and these people now. From time to time, they'll contact me somehow. Some of them get my email. I don't know. And so it'll happen from time to time. A couple of them, very rare. You know, who I may have known before they ran for office or early on, but for the most part, that's not me. In mid March, Fodder got a text message from Yardena Wolff. I reached out to better understand the claims being circulated and to question their accuracy, Wolff told Politico today. I'd worked with him for many years and at the time believed his assertions to be true. Fodder was unsettled by the outreach and never responded. Instead, she escalated, calling out Swalwell by name and posts and drawing backlash from people online accusing her of doing Republicans dirty work. All right, so she's online. She's now calling out Swalwell by name in posts, but she's drawing a backlash now. Why didn't the Drudge Report run with this? Why didn't Mediaite run with this? Why didn't Media Matters run with this? I'm quite serious. But she also started to hear from women with their own stories about Swalwell. She became an unlikely clearinghouse for the allegations, figuring out how to proceed as she went. While Fodder was waging her lonely crusade, Hunt, a lawyer and former Democratic congressional candidate, got a text from a close friend who was distraught. The friend alleged that she had been harassed by Swalwell years ago and could not fathom that he could be the next California governor. And her later was. Her story was later reported by notice. Hunt, that's this other so called influencer has also heard the whispers about Swalwell during her time on the Hill. And her friend's request, she agreed to post a video online calling him out. Now, we'll continue with this, but we have a special guest schedule. Jonathan Turley, who's been tracking this sleazeball Swalwell for a very, very long time and has been writing lately about it too. And we're going to talk to Jonathan in a moment right after the break. We'll be right back. You know, folks, I've been working with PureTalk 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 gu but for a fraction of the price. And I choose to do business with a company that shares my values. Your values. Helping support veterans every single day and creating American jobs. How about you go to PureTalk.com Levin to switch to Pure Talk. That's PureTalk.com Levin to switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company, PureTalk. Jonathan Turley is a good friend. He's a tremendous lawyer. He has a book out there that is really second to none, Rage and the Republic, that seems to fit this time like nothing else. The Unfinished Story, the American Revolution, Mr. Producer, let's put that up. And I can't recommend it strongly enough. And he's, I appreciate him coming on the program today. Jonathan, you really have been covering Swalwell a long time and this thing has exploded now. It's almost as if the Democrats, some of them, I don't mean about the women, I mean this other stuff like they were laying in wait or something. What is going on here exactly?
- [50:28]
Jonathan Turley
Hi, Mark. I think that there is reason to be suspicious. Things like this don't ordinarily happen where you're the leading Democratic candidate for the governorship in California one week and then the very next week you are out of Congress subject to a criminal investigation, subject to a nanny investigation. I am just barely avoiding a expedited ethics committee investigation. I mean, there is little question that the Democrats and many in the media did not feel comfortable with Swalwell being the potential person to run against the ranking Republican in California. California has its jungle primary and the result is that the two leading candidates will end up on the ballot. Well, right now, the leading candidate is Mr. Hinton, who is a Republican, and the second candidate is another Republican. So I think there was a scare growing on the Democratic side that they could have two Republicans running against each other. So there's that suspicion with the timing and with the uniformity of the response really was magnified. Now, having said that, as you know, Mark, I've been probably one of his loudest critics for the last 10 years.
- [51:49]
Mark Levin
Absolutely.
- [51:49]
Jonathan Turley
These. These allegations are not new. I mean, the Washington, D.C. has become the largest convention of Claude Rains in history. Everyone is shocked, shocked by the conduct of or the alleged conduct of Swalwell. This was. These allegations have been out there for years. You've had reporters come forward to say, yeah, we tried to tell the Democrats before he went to Congress about predatorial conduct by this person, and they insisted that they were rebuffed. So this was not a surprise for many of us who have been criticizing Swalwell for years. And so the timing and the shock really sit badly with many of us now. Swalwell's resignation makes a lot of sense. The House had moved on an expedited ethics investigation. He's now looking at potential criminal investigations in New York and possibly California. If I was his defense attorney, the last place I would want him would be an expedited ethics investigation. He would be answering questions that could be admitted in court. If he. If he ended up lying to those investigators, that could generate federal charges under 18 USC thousand one. So by resigning from Congress, he avoids the need to answer any questions immediately. And with regard to criminal investigations, of course, he has the right to claim the fifth and not answer at all.
- [53:29]
Mark Levin
And I figure he's going to admit to a whole bunch of stuff that isn't criminal, you know, because there's just appears to be too many women. Let me ask you this, Jonathan. There had to be more media outlets or media aggregation sites that heard something, but they're so Mickey Mouse and they follow so many other things and so forth and so on. They just chose not to follow it. Does that make sense, too?
- [53:53]
Jonathan Turley
It does. I mean, this is. This follows a certain pattern where the media will cover a leading Democrat when there's no other alternative. And there was no other alternative here. These women had come forward. Interesting enough, the women had come forward at the behest of people on the left and people with strong Democratic contacts, but the media could no longer ignore it. But, you know, he's been basically one of the made men of D.C. and the question is, who made him? And, you know, I think that his creator is really Nancy Pelosi. She was the one who intervened to save his career after the Fang Fang scandal. And amazingly, she was the one who refused to take him off the House Intel Committee, even though various people said, for love of God, I mean, he's obviously a target for possible blackmail. He can't sit on a classified committee. And Nancy Pelosi said, I have no concerns over Mr. Swellwell, and kept him on the committee. And, you know, he's had this protection until he became a liability, a liability in California, a liability in Washington.
- [55:13]
Mark Levin
Now, a friend of mine is very, very smart, lives in California. He's not in politics, but he follows it. He said, here's the thing. If the Democrats thought this might come out, they needed to do it now because once the primary started, the voting started and so forth, it would be too late. That makes a lot of sense to me, doesn't it? To you?
- [55:37]
Jonathan Turley
It does. Forgive me, I'm at an airport.
- [55:40]
Mark Levin
I hope that's all right. We knew that most people, we would say forget it, but you, we want to hear.
- [55:49]
Jonathan Turley
Well, it does make a lot of sense. The fact is that I, you know, there is obviously a motivation to move Swallow out. Now, whether that be preceded these allegations or not is a good question. Swalwell came out and blamed maga, but all of the individuals who spread this story were coming from the left. And I think there was certainly an incentive for many of them to do exactly what you suggested.
- [56:18]
Mark Levin
The other thing, maga. How would even MAGA know? Maga's not in these circles, per se. Now, I noticed that Gonzalez just resigned from Congress and he should have. He's another sleazeball, right?
- [56:31]
Jonathan Turley
Yes. And you also have people like Ruben Gallagher in Arizona, and he may win the Claude rains award for 2026. He came out with a story saying how shocked, literally how shocked he was about these reports. He was his campaign chair, he was his friend. He traveled with him on this junket that was paid for by Cutter. It cost about 100k. And they're shown bare chested camels together in the desert. And he's once again claiming this is a terrible shock. Obviously, others heard this rumor, these allegations. I had heard them. Many of others had. But of course, you know, the. The problem is that the media has no interest in pursuing those stories until they have no alternative if it's a Democrat.
- [57:22]
Mark Levin
Mm. So one of the people, one of these so called influencers, this woman fodder who they credit were really pushing this story, she said the media wouldn't take it and so forth and so on, which is very interesting to me. You know, they're all going to get together in the correspondence in Washington and laugh it up and so forth. They really let down the American people here. But my question is this. If other people knew about it and she said it's well known on Capitol Hill and in fact that this kind of stuff is well known on Capitol Hill. Well, Jonathan Turley, if this kind of stuff is known on Capitol Hill, that means there's more of this stuff going on that's being covered up. If you're able to hold on, I'd love to follow through with you after the break. We're talking to the great Jonathan Turley, Rage and the Republic. This is a fantastic. I read his books cover to cover because they're great. Rage and the the Unfinished Story of the American Revolution. I've got it up on my social sites. You can get it at Amazon. I'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 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 values, 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, PureTalkin the thunder on the right. Call in now. 877-381-3811. Jonathan Turley, rage and the Republic. Really perfect book for our time. The Unfinished Story, the American Revolution. He didn't ask to come on talk about his book. I'm doing it because I want to. And you can go to Amazon.com we also have it on all of our social sites. Plus you can get in any major bookstore. So Jonathan, this woman who is credited with helping to push out, you know, all these stories that were going on with Swalwell. She says it's going on on Capitol Hill all the time. People say you have to get used to it. They don't like it, they're down about it. But nonetheless, it's got to be bigger than two or three or four of these people, don't you think?
- [60:20]
Jonathan Turley
Oh, I think it is. You know, we hear these allegations against members all the time. And the problem is that with people like Swalwell, it is treated as something that you basically yield to him on because he served another purpose. Swalwell was always the guy who could feed the rage addiction. He would say things that other people wouldn't say. He served a purpose. He was. He was that attack member. Just. Just straining on the leash. And the person that held that leash was Nancy Pelosi and others. And so it's not surprising, you know, when you had Senator Collins, who was threatened years ago, it was Swalwell who came out and literally mocked her for being afraid of being killed and mocked Republicans for complaining about those types of threats. That was his M.O. he was never late for a mob, and that gave him a real use. And so if he's a monster, according to the media today, he was created. Right? And the media wants to spend very little time looking at his former patrons, his former allies, and how they enabled him. You'll notice that none of the major media is pursuing that story. They're not pursuing the story about people like the Arizona senator who's been accused of going out with him on these junkets and partying with him. All of that is just dead air. Instead, they are just repeating the same allegations and doing the minimum. And we've seen that over and over again. We saw with Hunter Biden's laptop. You know, it's a very different profile than when you had, for example, the fraudulent allegations during the Russian investigation, Things like the pee tape and all of that. The media immediately ran with that. They couldn't cover it enough. And I think the public is now seeing this sharp contrast on how the media treats scandal. Scandal is a commodity in Washington, and it is bought and sold. But this is a city that is controlled by an establishment media that only uses that commodity for one purpose.
- [62:37]
Mark Levin
Mm. I'll give you an example. Here's the headline on this media. I cite Megyn Kelly slams Trump's blasphemous pic of him as Jesus. Okay, I got it. That's the headline. That's the headline story. I mean, seriously, you have the Swalwell stuff going on. You have Iran going on. You have a thousand other things going on. That's the headline story that Megan Kelly's calling out Donald Trump again.
- [63:05]
Jonathan Turley
No, that's exactly right, Mark. And it's part of the deflection that occurs in the media. We've seen it and you've seen it so many years, you know, they find another shiny object to talk about. What they do not want want is for this story to metastasize. What they. What the Democratic establishment does not want is for media to be looking into who knew about these allegations about who was responsible for Swalwell himself. You know, the fact that Swalwell survived the Fang Fang scandal was. It was, it was really breathtaking in Washington. But he was a made guy. You know, he. It was very clear that the Democratic establishment had a youth for him. And the media quickly fell in line. Mm.
- [63:54]
Mark Levin
Well, I want to thank you. You don't fall in line. You do a superb job. I'm talking to Jonathan. Turley's got a great book out. I encourage you to grab it. You can order it right now, Amazon.com if you're on my social sites, you can order it. Or if you happen to go to Barnes and Noble has gotten really great. They have more stores. They refurbished all their stores as well as other retailers out there. Rage and the the Unfinished Story of the American Revolution. And here we are, the 250th anniversary of July 4, 1776. It also happens to be Jefferson's birthday, as a matter of fact, April 13th, 1743. He's only 283 years old, Jonathan. So there we go.
- [64:35]
Jonathan Turley
Yes. Yeah, he's just a kid.
- [64:39]
Mark Levin
All right, well, safe travels and always thank you. You're great.
- [64:43]
Jonathan Turley
Thanks, my friend. Great talking to you.
- [64:45]
Mark Levin
You too. And he is great. He's terrific. I've gotten to know him and I like him a lot. Smart, smart, smart and very courageous. He's a law professor at George Washington. It's not easy. And he and I, we've talked about that on the air. All right, let's go on. Let's pick up. At One point, Fodder, this is Politico about Swalwell. At One Point Fodder, this is the so called influencer, feeling increasingly overwhelmed, sent a message to Hunt. That's another person who was an influencer pushing this stuff. I think we have bitten off more than we can chew here. Now, the influencers agreed that specific allegations needed to be broken in a news story. And while reporters dug into the allegations, they kept up a public drum. Pete insisting that Swallow was a shady character and promising the details would come out soon. The tease infuriated many on social media who accused the influencers of being irresponsible by lobbing accusations without breaking them up. But the threat of a soon to drop news story was enough to dry up Swalwell's fundraising and unnerved supporters. Political operatives of all stripes were disconcerted watching the influencers play by their own set of rules, different from the norms of media outlets like Politico, and wondered if this would become a new normal in campaigns, a prospect that even unsettled the influences. I don't think it's a new normal at all. Have they heard of the original Matt Drudge and the Clinton story and the effect that had, not just on campaigns, but beyond that. This isn't new. I think for the rest of the media that covers up these stories. They're embarrassed, so they pretend it's new, but it's not new. It was enough for me to feel confident in not getting sued and to want to let other women know that they weren't alone. And only for that place would we be able to break his story in a traditional news media outlet situation fodder. I don't want this to be a green light to creators who think they should be breaking sensitive news. Swalwell's campaign, which had tried to ignore the crescendo, the crescendoing online chatter, decided last Monday they could no longer stay quiet. Endorsers were getting increasingly worried. The swirl had mitigated from the Democratic social media ecosystem. The conservative influencers. Daily Caller, a right wing outlet, published an article based on Hunt's posts. The campaign statement, released the next day and since retracted, was a blanket denunciation of false, outrageous rumor that it said was stoked by Swalwell's campaign opponents and MAGA enemies. MAGA specifically said Swalwell had never had staff sign non disclosure agreements, which the influencers said was the reason victims had not spoken out before. And hours later, Swalwell reiterated the denial, stating unconditionally, he never had sexual relations with a staffer or intern. He never had sex with that woman. Fill in the blank now. The disavow made some SWAHA allies worry that he boxed himself in. If any allegations did surface. But the others, its definitiveness was reassuring. Besides, Swallow himself was making the rounds in Sacramento that day, projecting confidence. Supporters seized on the smallest signals to reassure themselves. People were like, oh, he was happy. He had a smile on his face. He didn't look stressed about any of that. Stuff. The veteran lobbyist said it's nonsense, but I heard that from multiple people behind the scenes. Swalwell campaign moved to undermine Hunt and Fodder, suggesting to reporters and allies without evidence they were being paid by rivals. We get that here, too. When you take on the woke, right? And you can see these aggregation sites. They rely on Tucker Carlson, they rely on Steve Bannon, they rely on Fuentes, they rely on Megyn Keller, they rely on all these reprobates for headlines, for grifting. The more eyes, the better they rely on them. So they protect them, they defend them, And so they attacked the people who were exposing them. Some opposing campaigns were read into the influencers efforts. Fader said she had texted every staffer I'd ever known in my life, which included those working for Swalwa competitors. But she said the campaigns kept her at arm's length. Both women said they had not been paid for anyone for their efforts. But why did they give it to his opponents? Watching Swalwell's team release a press release about me and invite my friends to a zoom call to try and discredit me, I think a lot of creators will look back at that, including myself, as a moment where we realize that we're in a place now where these campaigns will come for our necks personally. That's a fact. They will personally try to discredit us if we do something they don't like. And that's very scary. She's right about that. But you got to be tough. All week. Swal and his team were calling supporters, insisting there was nothing to be nervous about now. The influencers had embarked on a parallel lobbying effort, urging celebrities, elected officials, donors to hold off from supporting Swalwell, warning them something was coming. Hunt and Fodder were kept out of CNN's editorial processes, but they had a sense the story would run on Friday and set their alarms for 3:00am Pacific Time, prepared for news to drop as soon as the east coast started its day. They woke up to see nothing online and learned that Swalwa's attorney had sent cease and desist letters to multiple women whose identities had been not been disclosed in the dead of night. Swell had a zoom call with senior staff Friday morning, a team dominated by women who asked him questions for nearly an hour. He didn't waver from his denials. That's what pathological liars do. Then CNN sent over a list of the assertions. It was plain in a report. Upon reading it, one adviser resigned on the spot, encouraged others to do the same. Soon after The San Francisco Chronicle published a story about a former staffer who claimed Swalwell had sexual encounters with her when he was her boss and alleged he sexually assaulted her twice when she was too drunk to consent. It's one of the most surreal moments of my life, hunt said, who at the time was on a zoom call with Fodder and some celebrities in their PR teams planning how to get resources for the women coming forward. Her close friend had flown in to sit with her in person. They all began to cry. Now this is getting a little weird in that sense. This whole time we knew that we felt pretty confident that we would be able to get it to break. But there was also the sense, if people have been investigating it for years, what were we going to be able to do? That's going to change that. CNN followed soon after with a story that featured the same accuser as well as three other women. The stories had been anticipated for weeks, but they still left the political world stunned. However ugly the rumors had been, they'd not been prepared for allegations of sexual assault. And within an afternoon, Swalwell's assiduously built political foundation fell out from under him. And we know the rest of the story. Former speaker Nancy Pelosi, whom Swalwell had called his work mom, told him that afternoon to drop out. The breathtaking fall was nudged along by the influencers who had blasted the stories to a network of creators and collectively had a reach of over 200 million people. And so it is written. We'll be right back. Mud Bluben. 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. Now 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, PureTalk. Ladies and gentlemen, I spent enough time on Swalwell for now. I want to tell you about Thomas Jefferson. Liberty's Voice, our video podcast today, spends a good amount of time on Thomas Jefferson because It's his birthday 283 years ago, April 13, 1743. There's a lot you don't know about Thomas Jefferson because they don't teach it. And so I spent today's program discussing this at some length, and I really want you to check it out. It's up there at Rumble. It's up there at YouTube. As you know, it's absolutely free. You can link to it on any of my social sites, really. It's out there on virtually every of these podcast sites. And we'll go into it at length because I want you to know about Thomas Jefferson, the way the media treat him. He was a slave owner. He had an affair, and that's all people remember about him.

Him.

Mark Levin
But he wasn't just the first author of the original draft of the Declaration of Independence. What did that original draft of the Declaration of Independence say? What did it say about slavery? There's a whole paragraph in there. Not a small one, a big one. And when that draft was written, the first draft, and it went to the committee that was in charge of the drafting of the declaration, and they had appointed Thomas Jefferson to be the first author, they made a number of changes, and they had to make additional changes because of Georgia and South Carolina. I want you to hear this. I want you to hear exactly what was in that draft that Thomas Jefferson put in there to try and deal with slavery. And then when he became president and how he fought slavery and how he insisted that the Constitution be upheld and that trafficking and slavery end in 1808. It was during his presidency that he followed through immediately to stop it. As the British kept pushing Africans that they enslaved into our country, kept exporting them and imposing them into our country, because there weren't really borders very much back then. While they were ending slavery, they were moving individuals from Africa in particular, but other parts of the world into the United States. You actually had other black tribes in Africa who would enslave tribes that they defeated and sell them to Europeans who would bring them to the United States, particularly the British. Well, even though Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, there was never any evidence. Excuse me. There's a lot of evidence that, as a matter of fact, he knew it was wrong. And that, as a matter of fact, he actually tried to do something about it. Now, I want you to learn about this. You will learn about it if you check out Liberty's Voice, our brand new video podcast. I really want you to check it out over at rumble and YouTube. And you ought to have your kids look at it too. But at minimum, you should take a look at it. It's very, very important information about our third president. It was really remarkable, man. All right, we've got a lot more left. Ladies and gentlemen, I shall return.

Mark Levin
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-813811-87738-3811. On Liberty's Voice today again, I want to encourage you to check it out. It's easy to find. It's on rumble, it's on YouTube, it's on all my social sites. It's on my website, marklevinshow.com Liberty's Voice. That's the name. Don't wear it out. Cut one, Mr. Producer. Go. April 13, 1743. Thomas Jefferson was born. There are times when people say nobody's irreplaceable. Some people are irreplaceable. Thomas Jefferson was irreplaceable. The original draft of the Declaration of Independence. This is what Jefferson's known for mostly the Declaration of Independence, but he should be known for a lot more. The original draft was sent to the committee that adjusted it, and there were several drafts thereafter, as I've written in several of my books, because they had to deal with these. These colonies from all over, you know, the Americas, and they didn't always agree on everything. And in the Declaration of Independence, there was a provision in the original draft, and this is what I want to focus on. It contained 168 words strongly condemning slavery. It was written by the hand of Thomas Jefferson. Yep. Cut to go. December 12, 1806. Jefferson asks for the ban of the slave trade. He goes to Congress. He says, okay, now it's time. We need to have a law that literally bans slave trade, the importation of slaves throughout the New Americas, the United States. March 2, 1807. The importation of slaves is prohibited. At Jefferson's behest, Congress passes a law prohibiting the importation of slaves into any place within the jurisdiction of the United States after January 1, 1808. As soon as it kicks in in the Constitution, that's what the statute says. January 1, 1808. Slave trade is, in fact, officially banned in the United States. The law officially banning the slave trade goes into effect. Does that pique any of your interests? I hope it does, because there's a lot of really cool stuff I tell you about on Jefferson in Liberty's Voice today and after the show. I hope you'll check it out. I really do. We need to learn about these great men and women. We need to spread the word. We need to counter all the BS out there, all the canceling that's going out there of our history, because people aren't going to learn it anywhere else. I want you to learn it here. I want you to learn it on my Fox show where I went into the Constitution Sunday, went into the Constitution Saturday, and we're going slightly into the Constitution now on the slave trade. But I hammered very hard on Liberty's Voice, our podcast. I want you to really check that out today. The President outside the White House today on nuclear weapons. Cut three, go.
- [81:59]
Jonathan Turley
What was the sticking point over?
- [82:01]
Mark Levin
You said it was over nuclear.
- [82:02]
Producer/Announcer
It was over nuclear. Very similar. Yeah. Very good. I guess you're listening. It's over the fact that they will never have a nuclear weapon. Iran, you marking it down? Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. And we agreed to a lot of things, but they didn't agree to that. And I think they will agree to it. I'm almost sure of it. In fact, I am sure of it. If they don't agree, there's no deal. There'll never be a deal. Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. And we're going to get the dust back. We'll get it back. Either we'll get it back from them or we'll take it.
- [82:34]
Mark Levin
Mm. Cut four. Go. As far as the naval blockade is
- [82:39]
Jonathan Turley
concerned, what's the end game?
- [82:41]
Mark Levin
Is it to force Iran back to the negotiating people? Is it to open up the straits
- [82:46]
Jonathan Turley
so the gas prices ultimately come down?
- [82:47]
Producer/Announcer
Maybe Arizona? I mean, both of those things, certainly. And more. We can't let a country blackmail or extort the world, because that's what they're doing. They're really blackmailing the world. We're not going to let that happen. And you know, the amazing thing is we don't. Can you believe this? We don't use this trade. We don't need this trade. We have our own oil and gas. Much more than we need. We have more oil and gas and Saudi Arabia. Think of this. We produce more Saudi Arabia and add Russia to it, substantially more. And by next year, we'll have double that amount. So we don't need it, but the world needs it. And many ships are heading to our country right now as we speak to load up with the best. Really? I guess you could say somebody said the best and sweetest. I don't know exactly what sweet is, but when it relates to oil, it's a good thing. But they're coming to our country right now. There are many boats coming to our country now. It could very well be. This is going to be settled before that. We've been called this morning by the right people, the appropriate people, and they want to work a deal. They would like to work a deal.
- [83:58]
Mark Levin
Mm. I hope no deal. Now, I've spent time on the 25th Amendment here over the years on TV. Pramilia Jayapal is a radical left bomb thrower. You have a lot of these first and second generation immigrants, their parents immigrated here who just don't get it, who just don't embrace our system, who think it's all up for grabs and attack the system. And there are others, of course, who are very patriotic, but most of them are not in Congress. Jaya Paul is from Seattle and she is a disaster. The 25th Amendment has four sections to it. The first three sections have absolutely nothing to do with anything that's going on. And the fourth section is the process by which a president himself or the vice president with a majority of the Cabinet seeks to remove the president from his duties or her duties because they're unable to do their job. Not because you disagree with their politics, you disagree with their policies, you disagree with them on the war, but because they are physically or mentally incapable of carrying out their duties. And yet the Democrats keep bringing up the 25th Amendment. Well, the vice president, majority of the Cabinet is not going to vote that way. And the president himself is not going to say, look at me, I can't do my job anymore. And the other three sections have nothing to do with anything. And they keep throwing around the 25th Amendment. Why? Because they know the media are stupid and they'll run with headlines and do it in order to try and create a very hostile environment with the President. And some of this is starting to work. We see Senate races and House races getting tighter and tighter and tighter. And it's not just over affordability, it's over the constant drumbeat of lies and propaganda, an agit prop. But here's this. JAYA Paul, cut 11 go. Do you support using the 25th Amendment? If, I mean, obviously J.D. vance is not the guy to do it. This Cabinet is not going to do it. But your colleague Ro Khanna, who I spoke to earlier this week, was talking about the need. I don't know who this is speaking, I don't know who this is. But obviously they listened to my show last night. But they're still stupid enough to say, obviously the vice President of the Cabinet is not going to do it. But you keep throwing around the 25th amendment. Are you still going to try and do it? They can't do it. They can't do it. Congress has nothing to do with instigating or triggering the 25th amendment. They have to respond to any of the actions that are taken under the 25th Amendment. And the vice president and majority of the Cabinet are not going to vote that the President of the United States is incapable of functioning as President of the United States. And so they just keep throwing it out there. Go ahead. Position and moral conviction in taking that position as opposed to just realistically whether or not it would happen.
- [86:59]
Jonathan Turley
Oh, absolutely. I said that a week ago that we should invoke the 25th Amendment.
- [87:05]
Mark Levin
Please stop. Congress cannot invoke the 25th Amendment. They don't even read the Constitution. They don't care about it. They're trying to find phrases in there to throw around. I, she says, I said a week ago we should invoke the 25th Amendment. Yet this moron Ro Khanna says the same thing. They're all running around saying we're going to invoke the 25th Amendment. We should invoke the 25th Amendment. They don't get to invoke the 25th Amendment. Go ahead.
- [87:40]
Jonathan Turley
That is something that unfortunately, by the process we have, and there was actually a bill that was introduced, I think it was last session, by Jamie Radio Raskin, to change.
- [87:48]
Mark Levin
Oh, Jamie Raskin. I'm sure it was great. The bill. Now, remember, the 25th Amendment is what? It's an amendment to the Constitution. So in order to change the 25th amendment, you have to do what, Mr. Producer? You have to amend it the constitutional way. You can't amend the Constitution or an amendment to the Constitution. My God, look what we're dealing with here. By a statute. Go ahead.
- [88:13]
Jonathan Turley
That's by the way, should we ever get control of the House back? But right now, invoking the 25th, if
- [88:18]
Mark Levin
you ever get control of the House back. What, you're going to try and change the 25th Amendment by a statute? Are you as stupid as you look, lady? Because I think you are. Now we know what Raskin is. Raskin's the Red. His father was an absolute, absolute maniac on the hard left. Go ahead.
- [88:41]
Jonathan Turley
Vice president. And then requires him to get a majority of the Cabinet. And so I have taken the position that we need to do whatever we can to get him out. Impeach him. Invoke the 25th Amendment, push for him to resign, whatever it is.
- [88:57]
Mark Levin
Oh, but these people are very concerned about, you know, people trying to undermine the results of an election, aren't they? Haven't they lectured us about this over and over again? Get them out by any means necessary. Try to force them to resign. The 25th Amendment. Impeachment. Now, why won't impeachment work as a basis for removing the President? Anybody know out there? Because you need two thirds vote of the senators present. They're all present. That's 60. They're going to get 60. Impeach him for what? War crimes. He didn't commit any. Oh, and they got a whole laundry list of fake issues that they'll bring up. Fake issues? This is what we're dealing with here. Madeleine Dean, whoever the hell that is. Democrat. Pennsylvania. Cut 12. Go.
- [89:55]
Jonathan Turley
He's a wrecking ball right now. He's a madman. He should be removed, whether by way of the 25th Amendment, which of course makes perfect sense.
- [90:06]
Mark Levin
Makes perfect sense. Not, of course, we can't do that. Well, he can't function as president. They just disagree with him. Now, of course, these are the same people that covered up for Biden. The 25th Amendment literally was written for a situation like we were in with Biden. But the vice President, Kamala Harris and a majority of the Cabinet wouldn't do it. Now that's what the 25th Amendment is for. But Congress has no say unless it's triggered and then they have a role. I don't even need to get into that right now because it's not going to happen. But these are the same people who covered up for somebody who really was incapable of being President of the United States. Absolutely was incapable of it. Pretty damn unbelievable, wouldn't you say, Mr. Producer? 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. All right, how much time we have this segment? Rich Mondami at his hundred day address yesterday. Hundred day of More like prison for the people of New York. Socialism isn't a dirty word. It's not new to the US cut 14 go. That is the change that government can deliver and it is the change. Some 34 year old punk whose father is an Islamist communist, whose mother is an Islamist communist and he's an Islamist communist lecturing us like he knows something. He doesn't know anything. Go ahead. Socialism can deliver. I know there are many who use socialists as a dirty word, something to be ashamed of. They can try all they want, but we will not be ashamed of using government to fight for the many, not simply the Few. All right, hold on a second. I'm going to address this tomorrow on Liberty's Voice, where I'll address it somewhat here, too. But I'm going to spend a lot of time on this tomorrow. I've decided, What is the difference really, in the appeal of socialism versus the appeal of capitalism? Because unfortunately for a lot of people, it comes down to slogans. In fact, it comes down to one word. Socialism is about emotion. Capitalism is about commerce. Socialism is an ideological invention. Capitalism is commerce. Commerce is not an ideological invention. It is a spontaneous way people voluntarily work with each other and have for thousands of years. Now, capitalism is a word that was invented by Marx. So I play along, call it capitalism, but the fact is, it's commerce. Capitalism is commerce. What is socialism? Does socialism create wealth? No. They don't even tell you it creates wealth. They just tell you things are unfair. Does socialism create equality? They claim it does, but it doesn't because it doesn't create wealth. It creates a dislocation of economic activity and in many areas, poverty. The poverty of food. There's not enough food in socialist countries, and so forth and so on. What else does socialism do? It destroys individual initiative. It rewards people who haven't earned, takes things from people who have earned it. Who gets to decide who should get what? Politicians and bureaucrats? Well, they don't even know you, and you don't even know them. What about commerce? That is capitalism. Well, there would be nothing to redistribute if it wasn't for commerce, AKA capitalism. And so I think I'm going to really dig into this on Liberty's Voice tomorrow. Maybe that would interest a lot of people on rumble and on YouTube as well. So it's really worth taking a look. I think I know. So this guy goes on, and when we come back after the break, we'll play a little bit more of him to demonstrate what you should not believe. We'll be right back. With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago, is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal strong security. But Senator Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate megastores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your Rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Durbin's fail policies before. His last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs and fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late.

Just call in any 773-813-811. All right, one more with Mondame. Then I want to get to real Americans, regular Americans, not this schlub. Start again. 14, please. Go. That is the change that government can deliver and is the change. Go ahead. I'm going to comment throughout. You don't have to stop me. That is the change that government can deliver, and it is the change that democratic socialism can deliver. I know there are many who use socialist as a dirty word, something to be ashamed of. Yeah, they can try all they want, but we will not be ashamed of using government to fight for the many, not simply the few. Okay, let's stop there. They're gonna fight for the many, but not the few. What does that even mean? What does that mean? Who created automobiles? What system? Capitalism. What created the greatest medical system on the face of the earth, despite all the whining? Capitalism. What created air conditioning and heating and housing available the vast majority of Americans? Capitalism. How about food stores that actually have food on the shelves? Capitalism. Look around, America. Look around. Look at what you've accumulated. Everything on your desk, everything in your bedroom. Look at your bathroom, look in your garage. That's capitalism. Socialism didn't create anything. Nothing. It's not in the creation business. It's not in the wealth creation business. It's not in the economic growth business. It's in the control business, the redistribution of wealth business. They like to talk about equality. How about justice? How about somebody who gets up early in the morning and comes home late in the evening, puts in a hard day's work? Why are they subsidizing illegal aliens? Why are they subsidizing people who sit on their ass but are very capable of working, except for the fact that they like welfare? Is that the way it's supposed to work? And who decides who gets what? Who decides and he says works for the many and not the few? And so he's going to raise property taxes and force people out of their homes? Is that for the many? And so he undermines the NYPD and law Enforcement. Is that for the many? And so he kicks up the minimum wage and makes it unaffordable for small businesses. People own pizzerias or a couple of man operation as electricians or plumbers. Is that for the many? No, they don't do anything for the many. They hate the many. That's why the borders are open under them. That's why they don't believe in deporting criminal illegal aliens. They don't believe in the many. That's why every single Democrat voted against no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, limiting taxes on Social Security. That was all for the many. But every Democrat voted against it. They're for power. They're for government. They pretend they're for the many. They pretend they're for the many. He's a fraud and a fool. And you're going to pay the price for it. In New York the first hundred days, you ain't seen nothing yet. Let's go to Philip. Is it Tempe or Temple, Texas? Wbap, please.
- [101:03]
Jonathan Turley
Oh, the great one. It's Temple, Texas.
- [101:05]
Mark Levin
Temple, Texas. How are you, sir? Yep, great.
- [101:09]
Jonathan Turley
Thank you very much. Wish you and your wife and your family all the best.
- [101:13]
Mark Levin
You too. Thank you.
- [101:15]
Jonathan Turley
Thank you. I'm just saying these letters to help me keep on track of what I want to say. It's rfg, rfk. And it's referring to Swalwell and all the sexual scandals up in the D.C. beltway. And you said it's probably more commonplacer. You are.
- [101:31]
Mark Levin
I don't know if they're gonna reveal it or not. But there's gotta be more. There has to be more. It can't be three or four of these guys. This is a whole mindset. And I believe it's in the media too. I believe a lot of these media types are complete sleazeballs too. That's why they attack people of faith, Evangelical Christians, Orthodox Jews, or just politicians who believe in promoting morality and, and tradition and values and beliefs and these sort of things. That's why they mock them and so forth so often. Because I think there's a lot more sleaze balls than we know.
- [102:06]
Jonathan Turley
Absolutely. And these acronyms, rfg, which I came up with, were reverse engineering finance and grooming. So types like 12 well, are perfect for the Democrat Party. That's who they want. Because they don't have to groom them. They're exactly what they want. And it's like the billionaires Boys club. As long as they, you know, they work until they don't work. So once they get Exposed, then they turn on them, which they typically do. The F power for finance, that has to deal with the Senate and the. The funds that they have for sexual harassment.
- [102:40]
Mark Levin
That's a scandal. That. That's crazy. And by the way, what Jonathan Turley and I and others have been talking about is this. The primary voting system hasn't started yet, and the fact that all this is pouring out now and other things are pouring out about Swalwell. Now, they wanted to get him out before it started so they could reduce the number of Democrats running because the two leading candidates in their system were then Republicans. And once Swalwell, if the voting started was getting votes, it would be very tough to get them out, and it'd be very tough to help the other Democrats by getting them out. So the timing of this. It's not conspiratorial. The timing of this is highly questionable the way it came out. All right. Thank you for your call, my friend. Much appreciated. Let's go to Fred. Kansas City, Kansas. The Great kcmo. Go. Yeah.
- [103:36]
Jonathan Turley
Funny thing is the Eric Swalwell situation, he learned, just like Andrew Cuomo, what karma meant. Both their stories are the same, that the Democrat Party and mainstream media covered up and lied about them for years. And as soon as their worth was up, they pulled the Kavanaugh treatment on him. Mm.
- [103:58]
Mark Levin
Yeah, because they were afraid he would lose.
- [104:00]
Jonathan Turley
Same thing. They're coming out of the woodwork everywhere.
- [104:04]
Mark Levin
Yep.
- [104:04]
Jonathan Turley
But remember, they thought they were safe. They thought they were the poster boy. They thought, remember, Cuomo was going to run for president. They all found out once their use was up, the party was going to do the same thing to them they do to the Republicans.
- [104:17]
Mark Levin
Mm. All right, my friend, very good points indeed. Now, here's Swalwell. September 2018, talking about Kavanaugh. Cut 16. Go. What are the chances that three or four women, independently, who never met each other, would have similar experience, experiences with one person? So either Ari, this person committed these horrific acts, or he is the single unluckiest person in the world for these people to conspire and make up lies against him. Boy, this guy's Unbelievable. Cut 17. Go.
- [104:52]
Former Staffer
Five of us were having some drinks. At some point, it was time to go home. I got in an Uber. I was taken to the Aloft Dublin Pleasanton. And I don't remember what happened that night, but I know that we. There was sexual contact, because when I woke up in the morning, I could feel that there was. And he said as much, too. What did he say?
- [105:26]
Jonathan Turley
He.
- [105:27]
Former Staffer
That last night was Great. It didn't feel great to me because I didn't remember it. And so you. You blacked out and you end up in his hotel room and wake up with him? Yes.
- [105:38]
Mark Levin
That's a former staffer. Here she is again. Cut 18, go.
- [105:43]
Former Staffer
Decided to ask him to meet me for a drink. And I did this because I was so far removed.
- [105:49]
Mark Levin
Let me just slow down. So there's an incident in 2019, and then there's an incident in 2024. So apparently she stayed on a staff. And that. That will be the argument, I guess, of the defense lawyers. But nonetheless, go ahead.
- [106:04]
Former Staffer
I felt safe because I was established, I had a partner. I felt more secure that I could have a strictly professional relationship with this person. After that bar closed, we went to another. I went to the bathroom and I don't remember anything after that. You don't remember anything? I remember the next day. I can see flashes of that evening of him on top of me, me pushing him off, him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive. It was aggressive. Did you say no? Yes, I said no. I said I, in my flash that I can recall, I was pushing him off of me, saying no. And what did he do? He didn't stop. He didn't stop. And you woke up the next morning? I woke up the next morning naked, alone in his hotel room. I, for a moment, didn't even know I was in his hotel room. That's how intoxicated I was. And I called my mom, the only person I could think that could help me.
- [107:22]
Mark Levin
Here's Nancy Pelosi, five and a half short years ago, about Eric Swalwell. Cut. 19. Go.
- [107:29]
Jonathan Turley
Well, I don't have any concern about Mr. Swalwell. There are those in the Congress who believe, and I am among them, that we should be seeing what influence the Chinese. I've been fighting them, as you know, for over 30 years in terms of their undue influence at universities in our country and the overtures they try to make to members of Congress. In terms of Mr. Swalwell, in the spring of 2015, the leadership of the House and the committee were informed that overtures from a Chinese person was. Were being made to members of Congress. When that was made known to the members of Congress, it was over.
- [108:19]
Mark Levin
And Kevin McCarthy, when he was speaker. January, I think it's 2023. Cut, 21. Go. If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you wouldn't have Swalwell on any committee. And you're going to tell me other Democrats couldn't fill that slot he cannot get a security clearance in the private sector. So would you like to give him a government clearance? You asked me questions about Santos. You asked the questions about Swalwell. Not only was he getting a clearance, he was inside an intel committee. He had more information than the majority of all the members. Did you ever raise that issue? You? No. Which you should have. You're going to tell me there's 200 other Democrats that couldn't fill that slot, but they kept them on it. The only way that they even knew it came forward is when they went to nominate him to the intel committee. And then the FBI came and told the leadership, then he's got a problem. And they kept him on. That jeopardized all of us. Yeah. And there was even more than that, as it turns out. Even more than that. We'll be right back.

Jonathan Turley
You have been, until now, really a huge supporter of his. You wanted him elected, obviously, for a second term. Have you completely fallen out with him over this war then?
- [110:58]
Mark Levin
Well, I haven't fallen out with him. I mean, I've known him for decades. I've always liked him and I think anyone who spent time with him likes him. I feel sorry for him as I do for all slaves. He is not enough. I feel sorry for him as I do for all slaves. Tucker Carlson is a very sick person. Look, I'm no expert. I think he's mentally unhinged. The things he says about Christians, the things he says about our country, the things he says about Jews and Israel. The things he says in the positive about Sharia law, about Iran, about Putin and Russia. How he rewrites and twists the story of Esther and Purim in the Old Testament. How he rewrites and twists World War II so the greatest generation turns out to be the worst generation. I think he's extremely sick or extremely diabolical and evil. It really doesn't matter, one or the other. And now the president is a slave. A slave to Benjamin Netanyahu, a slave to the Jews, a slave to Israel. This is what Nazis say. This is what the Klan says. This is what racists and bigots have said forever. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, the men and women in the military. We salute the men and women in Ukraine and Israel and Persia, and you, the American people. Thank God for you, and thank you, Mr. President, for all you do. We'll be seeing you tomorrow.
