Episode Overview

In this episode, Mark Levin confronts what he sees as media bias in covering the new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey. Levin contends the press is working to protect Comey while simultaneously driving a political “witch hunt” against Donald Trump. Expanding beyond this central event, Levin addresses U.S. policy toward Iran, cultural trends in the Democratic Party, the economics of “woke” blue states, and the stakes facing New York’s future, featuring an in-depth interview with Bruce Blakeman, the Republican candidate for governor.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Media Coverage of James Comey’s Indictment

Timestamps: 02:55–13:06

• Comey’s ‘Seashells’ Incident: Levin discusses the controversy over Comey’s Instagram post of seashells supposedly arranged as “86 47” (interpreted as a coded call to “86”—kill—the 47th president).
• Media Reaction: Levin scathingly criticizes the AP article, arguing that it presents Comey as a victim and frames the prosecution as Trumpian retribution.
  • “It’s part of the Trump administration Justice Department’s relentless effort to prosecute political opponents...” – Levin reading AP coverage (03:42)
  • “The media, like the Associated Depressed and the rest of them, are filled with scumbags and morons.” (07:33)
• Selective Prosecution? Levin disputes claims that Comey is being unfairly targeted, insisting that a political double standard is at play—Trump faces constant prosecution, while Comey receives sympathetic coverage.
• Intent and Accountability: He doubts Comey’s explanation of ignorance about the symbolism, questioning the plausibility and media’s unwillingness to ask tough questions.
  • “Why would you assume the number 86 and 47 reflect a political message? What would the political message be, Mr. Producer?” (07:25)

2. Iran: Doubling Down on Maximum Pressure

Timestamps: 18:07–23:12

• Levin’s Policy Prescription: Advocates for continued economic pressure (“unconditional surrender or just finish them off”) and arming internal dissidents against the Iranian regime.
  • “If we can get arms in the hands of the resistance, the freedom fighters there, that would be an added plus.” (21:45)
• Critique of Opposing Approaches: Contrasts Trump’s “crushing” posture with Obama/Biden’s alleged appeasement.
  • “This is Donald Trump who’s poised to crush them. If I were president, I wouldn’t care what the Democrats and the media have to say—because they’re not on our side.” (23:02)

3. Criticism of the Modern Democratic Party

Timestamps: 23:16–37:15

• Historical Parallels: Levin accuses the Democratic Party of a long history of violence and extremism (slavery, segregation, eugenics), asserting today’s party continues these trends in new forms.
  • “It’s a violent party. It’s embraced all the worst aspects of humanity...racism, bigotry. That’s the Democrat Party.” (24:24)
• Defending Trump: Repeats the point that Trump’s prosecution is partisan, while the media stirs animosity against him.
  • “The reason they go after Trump is simple. Because he’s standing between them and us.” (24:53)
• On Hakeem Jeffries: Levin reacts to Jeffries’ remarks about “maximum warfare,” portraying him as hypocritical and inflammatory.
  • “This guy Hakeem Jeffries is a nasty SOB, isn’t he? Also extraordinarily stupid.” (25:44)
  • “Do you think with a so-called leader like this the Democrats are ever going to keep their powder dry? No.” (32:12)

4. Deplatforming Extremists & Free Speech

Timestamps: 39:20–48:09

• Levin’s Stance: Argues that private companies have no obligation to host “Nazis and jihadis” or extremists calling for violence.
  • “If you’re inciting violence, that’s not protected speech.” (41:04)
• Responding to Critics: Rips into Glenn Greenwald and Hasan Piker, labeling them as America-hating radicals, and reiterates the distinction between First Amendment protections from government censorship vs. private moderation.
  • “Freedom of speech is the government denying speech. It’s not you and me or a private company denying it.” (47:16)

5. Interview with Bruce Blakeman, Republican Candidate for New York Governor

Timestamps: 50:15–68:30

• Leadership Record: Blakeman touts his success as Nassau County Executive (hiring law enforcement, no tax hikes, bond upgrades, surpluses), contrasting this with “far left” Democrats.
  • “We are the most overtaxed, over regulated state in the United States of America.” (53:01)
• Democratic Party Critique: Both Levin and Blakeman agree the Democratic Party has abandoned American values for “progressive, woke, far-left” policies, driving out businesses and residents.
• Public Safety and Immigration: Blakeman emphasizes his pro-policing stance and crackdown on crime and illegal immigration.
  • “People are leaving in droves. We lose hundreds of thousands every year. The way to make it affordable is economic development...reduce taxes.” (56:26)
• Building a Winning Coalition: Notes he’s attracting “common sense Democrats,” criticizing Hochul as “pro-criminal” and wasteful.
  • “Common sense Democrats realize that their party has left them behind.” (51:20)
• Endorsements & Vision: Receives Levin’s endorsement (59:52), outlines a coalition including African American, Hispanic, Asian, and independent voters fed up with radicalism. Asserts confidence in victory.
  • “We’re down in single digits behind Kathy Hochul...people want a governor that puts New Yorkers first.” (63:46)

6. Critique of Left-Wing Podcasters and Influencers

Timestamps: 77:19–86:44

• Targeting Ro Khanna & Hasan Piker: Levin calls out Rep. Khanna for appearing on “jihadi” platforms, again arguing for deplatforming those who espouse or enable extremism.
  • “My view is people like this should be deplatformed. Not that you and I listen, but other people should.” (78:31)

7. American and British Heritage—State Visits

Timestamps: 88:46–112:18

• State Visit Recap: Provides commentary on speeches by President Trump and King Charles III celebrating the Anglo-American alliance during the 250th anniversary of American independence.

  • King Charles: “It is an era...more volatile and more dangerous...our alliance cannot rest on past achievements...we must build on it.” (92:55)
• Reflections on History: Levin praises the role of shared Anglo-Saxon traditions and values.

[Mark Levin Show Announcer]

He's here now. Broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Lev.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here.

Our number.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Hello.

[Mark Levin]

8773-8138-1187-7381-3811.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Looks like James Comey has been indicted again. I wasn't sure whether to lead off with that or not. Mr. Mr. Producer voted for that one. Seems pretty good to me. AP Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted this time. An investigation over social media photo. Remember that one with seashells arranged off a beach? Just happened to, you know, be that way. All the little sea urchins came up there and they. They did that special number meaning what? Assassinate Mr. Producer criminal case is the second in a matter of months against Comey. Did they bring another case a month ago? I thought they brought one like this last summer. And then they go and listen to this.

[Mark Levin]

It's part of the Trump administration Justice Department's relentless effort to prosecute political opponents

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

of the Republican president. How do you like that?

[Mark Levin]

Have you ever heard a sentence like

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

that about what they did to Trump?

[Mark Levin]

Part of the Democrat Party's relentless effort to prosecute Donald Trump.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You never heard a sentence like that because he associated. The press is disgusting.

[Mark Levin]

The seashells photo was posted nearly a year ago, but the indictment was secured at a time when Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. Just.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Just listen to this.

[Mark Levin]

This could have been written by Hakeem Jeffries.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Well, he can't write.

[Mark Levin]

By somebody on his staff. A Trump loyalist who previously served as his personal lawyer aims to prove to the president that he's the right person to hold the job permanently. Now, where'd they get that from? Where'd they get that from? Their meandering minds. So there we are right up front. The first big paragraph in the story has absolutely nothing to do with the

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

substance or the seriousness of what Comey did.

[Mark Levin]

No, they're not done. The fact that the Justice Department pursued a new case against the ex FBI director months after a separate and unrelated indictment was dismissed could expose the government to claims of a vindictive prosecution and to arguments that it is going out of its way to target Comey, who had overseen the early months of an investigation into whether Trump's 2016 campaign had coordinated with Russia to sway the outcome of that year's election for a long run on sentence.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

So they're illiterate.

[Mark Levin]

On top of this propaganda, this grotesque propaganda. Comey was fired by Trump months into the president's first term as the investigation was underway. And they've openly feuded ever since. None of this has anything to do with the charge. Nothing. Nothing. It's an essay. It's an opinion piece. The two count indictment charges Comey. So you got to go down to the bottom. Let's see here. You got to go down to, like, paragraph five or four. The two count indictment charges Comey with knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of and to inflict bodily harm upon Trump. We're transmitting a threat in interstate commerce that does not provide evidence to support the claim.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

They say.

[Mark Levin]

Now, that's interesting. They don't really explain what the claim is. They don't really explain what he did with the shells. 8647. I got to get the paragraph seven here, Mr. Producer. The prosecution arises from a May post on Instagram in which Comey shared a photo of seashells he saw on a walk in the arrangement of 8647. So he's just walking by.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Wait a minute.

[Mark Levin]

86. 47. Let me take a photo of that and put it online. And then people say, wait a minute, you're promoting the assassination of a president. That's what that means. 86. 86 him. Kill him. 47. Being the president, while it Was just there. I took a picture of it, I put it on social media. Just happened to be there, you know. Has anybody gone to the beach before? Have you gone to the beach, Mr. Medusu? Have you ever seen seashells in the

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

shape of a number?

[Mark Levin]

Have you ever seen him in the shape of four numbers? Have you ever seen them in the shape of 86, meaning kill or assassinate 47? No. Would you have taken a picture of it even if you didn't know what it meant? According to Comey, he didn't even know what it meant. He took a picture of it, he put it on social media. As soon as he found out what it meant, he was mortified. He took it down. Yeah. After he was criticized. And for the media, it's perfectly fine what he's saying. Perfectly fine. Here's the story. You literally have the former director of the FBI putting shells in the form of assassinate 47. Think that's a joke? Takes a picture of it, puts it on social media, then he pretends he walked by and it was there and he doesn't know what it means. And then he took it down. Is that funny? Is that an accident? That's not prosecutable. The former director of the FBI, and they turn it into Trump going after his political enemies. This is why the media, like the Associated Depressed and the rest of them, are filled with scumbags and morons. They really are. They go on. Prosecution arises from this. He has said he assumed that the numbers reflected a political message, not a call to violence. Why would you assume. If you don't know anything, why would you assume the number 86 and 47? Why would you assume that those numbers reflect the political message? What would the political message be, Mr. Producer? So he's pulling this crap out of his butt. I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down. This is not believable. None of it's believable. And you shouldn't have a former head of the FBI putting together seashells on the beach, the numbers of which certainly imply the assassination of the president. Nonetheless, Comey was swiftly interviewed by the Secret Service after Trump administration officials asserted he was advocating the assassination of Trump, the 47th president. So this AP who wrote this thing,

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

sometimes they don't have the author, Elena

[Mark Levin]

Durkin, Richer and Eric Turker. Oh, Dirk and Richer and Turker. What is that a. Is that like a criminal defense law firm? Elena, Dirk and Richer and Eric Tucker. You are a disgrace, absolute disgrace. At a news conference announcing the indictment, Blanche refused to elaborate on any evidence of intent of the government, but said, how do you prove intent in a case? You prove intent with witnesses, with documents, with the defendant himself to the extent it's appropriate. That's how you'll prove in 10 in this case. And in an effort to rebut claims that Comey was being selectively prosecuted, how is he being selected? You know what selectively prosecuted means, ladies and gentlemen? If there were 50 people who took seashells and put them in the form

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

of 8647 and only Comey is prosecuted,

[Mark Levin]

that would be selective prosecution. If there's one schmuck, the former director of the FBI, he's on the beach. Ugly site in and of itself. And he obviously puts these shelves, 86, 46. I don't know what it means. I walked over there. It just happened to be there. I took a picture of it. I put it on social media. I had no idea it meant when it did. Well, why'd you take a picture of it and put it on social media? And we're supposed to believe all this? But it's Trump. Trump and his acting attorney general. Select the prosecution. Trump, who was selectively prosecuted day in and day out, day in and day out, day in and day out,

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

in

[Mark Levin]

an effort to rebut claims that Comey was being selectively prosecuted, Blanche contended the case against the former FBI director was similar in kind other threat cases the department routinely brings against lesser knowns.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

He.

[Mark Levin]

He said, while this case is unique and this indictment stands out because of the name of the defendant, his alleged conduct is the same kind of conduct that we never tolerate and that we always investigate and regulate and prosecute. Well, is that true, media? Did you check up on that? Course not. Now, let's say there's some slob who's on the beach and he puts out 86, 47, and he takes a picture of it and puts it on social media. And the Secret Service or the FBI or whatever law enforcement sees it, they get a hold of it, they say, 86 assassinate 47, the president. Do you think they would just blow that off America? You think they would just ignore that? No, I don't think so.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

This guy Comey has gotten away with it. Boy, he's gotten away with it. But maybe not anymore. And they're bringing the charges in North Carolina.

[Mark Levin]

Oh, select a prosecutor.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

No, because that's where it happened. That's where it happened.

[Mark Levin]

And then they have this. What does 86 mean? Merriam Webster the dictionary used by the AP says 86 is slang, meaning to throw out, to get rid of, to refuse service to it. Notes among the most. What does that have to do with anything? Did the FBI director, excuse me, former FBI director take out his Merriam Webster dictionary and look up 86? He says he didn't. He said he didn't realize it meant assassination. But everybody else knew it. But apparently the AP doesn't know it. Of course they know it. They know exactly what it means.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

So did Comey and so does the FBI. I'll be right back.

[Bruce Blakeman]

Foreign

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

I Want to share two stories it seems the mainstream media hasn't connected.

[Mark Levin]

Story one, the U. S. Treasury's own 2025 financial report. It shows $6 trillion in assets and 47 trillion in liabilities. You know that's a negative net worth over $41 trillion. Since 2021, gold prices have gone up like the US debt has gone up and they moved to near lockstep. The market already knows. Story 2. In 2025, global gold demand passed 5,000 to the first time ever. Meanwhile, mine production grew just 1%. You can see the supply can't meet the demand. And you can't print gold.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

That's why I trust monetary gold.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

I mean, I didn't think I would jump into this one, but I want to talk about Iran, the king. I want to talk about the democrats, the vile miscreants and malcontents that they are, and so forth and so on. But before I do that, this caught my attention. Mr. Producer. Walmart is eliminating the store lead position from its workforce in order to expand its bench of second tier store leaders. The company said restructuring will not result in layoffs. According to a memo obtained exclusively by Yahoo. Finance. Somebody leaked it. However, those impacted were notified today that they will be converted to either an emerging store manager or a coach position, both of which report to the store manager. Did you know they had all these positions, Mr. Producer? A coach position. I could be a coach over there, don't you think?

[Mark Levin]

I could be a coach over there.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You know, in the potato chip, pretzel and candy section. I could be a definite coach there.

[Mark Levin]

Now the staffing change marks the first

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

major workforce move under a new CEO, John Furner, who succeeded Doug McMillan upon his retirement on January 31st. I'm getting to the punchline.

[Mark Levin]

It also follows a 2024 initiative that enabled store managers at Supercenter locations ready

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

for this to earn $400,000 in compensation per year, inclusive of bonuses and stock grants.

[Mark Levin]

How do you like that?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You're silent.

[Mark Levin]

Did you fall off your chair? That's a lot. I mean, you know what? The 2024 pay bump was so good, the store managers stayed with the company longer, prompting Walmart to rework the pathway for other associates. In other words, they don't want to get out of the way. I'm not retiring. Talking about I'm getting 400.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

By the way, I hang out in these super Walmarts all the time. I'm not telling you which ones or what towns. I like them, I like them.

[Mark Levin]

I'm there enough. I could be a super manager at

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

a superstore, don't you think?

[Mark Levin]

In an effort to create a comparative a comparable salary for the affected employees,

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Walmart said emerging store managers, in other words, junior managers, could earn a base

[Mark Levin]

salary of 85,000 to 120 with the potential to earn 119 to 276 with bonuses. At smaller neighborhood stores, the base pay range will be 65,000 to 110. So look, I'm sure they earn it, but they get paid very well. And I bet the same as with

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Costco and these other places too.

[Mark Levin]

Coaches who oversee particular store departments, such as grocery or household items, will now be eligible for an increased base salary of 65 to 100,000, rising to about 70,000 to 130,000 with bonuses. I wonder if the soon to be, I guess, government grocery stores that Mandami is hoping to set up, I wonder

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

if they'll have this kind of a pay scale now. You know damn well they won't. But they're going to subsidize eggs and bread, so you'll have a very good prison meal.

[Mark Levin]

But they're not ready to open it yet. They're not ready.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

No, no.

[Mark Levin]

They're not ready to give free public transportation yet. Not yet, they're not. They're not ready to give free child care. Nah, not yet. We're working on it. We're working on.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Actually, they're working on screwing you people in New York. And I'll get to that later in the program.

[Mark Levin]

Affordability. If I'm voting for him, he said affordability. That's the magic word. He cares about the people he is going to screw the rich people.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

No, he is going to screw you. That is what Marxist Islamists do.

[Mark Levin]

It is what they do.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

All right. Iran, by all reports, they are bulging at the seams with oil.

[Mark Levin]

They're looking for places to put it,

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

inquiries in old ships, anywhere to put their oil.

[Mark Levin]

Because the genius of our president has shut down the Strait of Hormuz. In response to them shutting it down, he said, no, no, I have a better idea. We're going to shut it down, effectively take it over, and you are not going to be able to send your oil out unless we say so and we say no. So they keep pumping the oil because

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

the pump's got to keep going. They got to keep going, and they have nowhere to put it.

[Mark Levin]

And so what happens is, if they

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

shut them down, they destroy many of them. They make many of them unworkable. And so they have a huge problem now, because if you have a dry pump and so forth, I'm using pedestrian language because that's all I've got.

[Mark Levin]

Apparently the void is filled with water,

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

seawater and other types of water, obviously, depending on where you're drilling,

[Mark Levin]

and sand. So they have a problem. They're trying to figure out how to make a deal with Trump, but they're trying to take nukes off the table and they want all their money in advance. And Trump said, no, I don't think so. You want to end this thing? Unconditional surrender, where they surrender and we eliminate the regime or we send a few heat seekers right up there. Tuck us. I'll be right back. Two facts, one conclusion. Fact 1. The US treasury recently reported the government has $6 trillion in assets and 47 trillion in liabilities, plus 88 trillion more in promises it cannot fund. So by definition, that's insolvency. And since 20 gold prices have tracked US debt almost perfectly. Fact 2. In 2025, global gold demand crossed 5,000 tons for the first time in history. Investment demand jumped 84% and mine production rose just 1%. When governments print their way through insolvency, paper weakens and often real assets rise. This is why people call monetary gold

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

the best of the best.

You've heard of Lady Liberty? Well, this is Mr. Liberty, the Mark Levin Show. Call him now at 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, hello, and hello again. So there's one of two ways I

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

think you deal with Iran. Either unconditional surrender, in other words, keep up the enormous pressure, or just finish them off. And people make it sound like it's an impossibility. No, it's not an impossibility. As a matter of fact, it absolutely can be done militarily, economically, and by arming the population. Now, I was on Hannity last night and I said the following.

[Mark Levin]

Cut three, go. The blockade is bankrupting them. The president also, with military strikes, can show how this will be permanent. If we can get arms in the hands of the resistance, the freedom fighters there, that would be an added plus. I think the president now has been given an answer. They don't want a deal. Military action will begin again.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Keep choking them economically, Bring out the big guns, arm the people. That, to me, is a prescription for victory. Sooner than later, the regime can hang on. You know, if we wait them out, those guys are going to still eat, they're going to still breathe, they're still going to drink as they continue to execute their people there. I think the Iranian people are poised.

[Mark Levin]

They're ready to go.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

We should, in fact, arm them as we did in Afghanistan and Nicaragua and Angola and other places around the world in the 80s. It worked very, very well. I hope our CIA is still up to the task, but, you know, I

[Mark Levin]

don't think our military equipment should rust

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

out there waiting for these guys to get their act together. They have their act together. This is what they do. They delay. They're up against the wrong president. This isn't Biden, who's going to fund them, or Obama who's going to hand them a nuclear weapon. This is Donald Trump who's poised to crush them. And if I were the president, I

[Mark Levin]

wouldn't care what the Democrats and the

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

media have to say because they're not on our side. They want us to lose. They want the president of the United States to be undermined because that's the

[Mark Levin]

nature of the Democrat Party. Mm.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And cut four, go.

[Mark Levin]

This Democrat Party has a history from

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

the very first day of being a violent party.

[Mark Levin]

A violent party, whether it is slavery or segregation or eugenics, whatever it's been, it's a violent party. It's embraced all the worst aspects of humanity. Anti Semitism, racism, bigotry. That's the Democrat Party. And now what you hear different targets and different aspects, but it's the Same damn party. And the things that they say about our country, the things that they say about the citizens of this country is they try and put citizens as second class citizens and bring in people from all the rest of the world who will not assimilate because they want their numbers. And the reason they go after Donald Trump is simple. Because he's standing between them and us. He loves the country. He loves the founding, 250 years. He's proud about this country. They are not. They are tearing it down all the time. Their appointees are sinister, their policies are sinister. They hate the capitalist system. They hate our sovereignty. Donald Trump wants to build up Washington D.C. bring it back to pristine condition. He wants people to respect the country and our monuments and our founding and so forth. The opposite of the Democrats. You got Bernie Sanders, who is a Stalinist, who's a leader of the Democrat Party. You got this guy, Chris Murphy, who spent his whole life running for office, loathsome, goes overseas and trashes our country left and right. Don't think the American people don't notice this. Let me be clear. When you attack our country, you're attacking Mr. And Mrs. America. This is our country. And one other thing, not for one minute, Democrats, do you feel, do you fool anybody? Your language is intended to incite violence. Violence against ice, violence against the NYPD before violence in our streets with your mobs, with your billionaires funding them and your networks. And you are targeting our President. And you know damn well exactly what you're doing when you talk about somebody as Hitler or that the President is a dictator. How so? He's followed every court ruling. He's followed the rules. You guys don't. So we're on to you. And we know everything that you're doing.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

All right. I got it in on my four minutes, didn't I, Mr. Medusa? This guy Hakeem Jeffries is a nasty SOB, isn't he? He's also extraordinarily stupid. I wouldn't call him the brightest bulb in the chandelier, that's for sure. But this is what the Democrats like. Pelosi, another moron, nasty as hell. But listen to this guy. Cut five.

[Mark Levin]

Go.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

Political violence in any form directed at anyone, whether that's the right, the left or the center, is unacceptable.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Period.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

Full stop. The notion that any of us are concerned with so called criticism from these phony Republicans as it relates to anything that has been said, certainly as it relates to the comment related to maximum warfare everywhere, all the time, in connection with the redistricting battle that Republicans launched. I stand by it. You can continue to criticize me for it. I don't give a damn about your criticism. First of all, that phrase maximum.

[Mark Levin]

Obviously you do, or you wouldn't be

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

holding this press conference. Moron. But I do believe that you truly believe what you're saying. Warfare every, everywhere. I can remember, Mr. Producer, many years ago when I would say that we have to target these people for, you know, to defeat them and so forth and so on. And you might remember there was a shooting in Arizona. Remember all that, Mr. Medicare and among

[Mark Levin]

others, they accused me of encouraging people

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

to shoot a federal judge who was killed and a congresswoman who was hurt because I said we need to target these people, you know, politically. And I explained what I meant. There's no inferences.

[Mark Levin]

And that went on for a week. A week, A week.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And they did the same to Sarah Palin

[Mark Levin]

then.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Now look at them. That's kids play for them now. Kids play. Democrats can say anything.

[Mark Levin]

The Democrat surrogates can say, you need to kill Senator Rick Scott. 9 11's to be celebrated. The horrendous, monstrous abuse of human beings on October 7, if it even happened.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

They tell us they deserved it.

[Mark Levin]

It's a resistance. That's what we're dealing with now. And in that atmosphere, this dumb bastard, this wannabe. That's right, I said it. This wannabe speaker of the House, he says maximum warfare everywhere. What does he think, the nut jobs think when their billionaires are funding, funding these mobs, helping them network, helping them obstruct law enforcement, helping them pretend, real killers, real child predators who come into our country through our system. When these morons open the border and they don't want to deport them

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

now,

[Mark Levin]

it lasts about 14 minutes. The first time they tried to KILL the president, that is at Butler, they being the killers, obviously. The second time it was about 12 minutes. This time it wasn't even two minutes. They're going at is a hateful, violent political party, which is why the Marxists, who are very violent and the Islamists, who are very violent, find a home in the Democrat Party, not in the Republican Party. And one other thing, they have these vile podcasters, horrendous. And they embrace them and they promote them and they go on, they go on their programs. We have vile podcasters too, but they're not we anymore, are they? They've been excommunicated by the President and I and a handful of others have spent the last year confronting them, denouncing them, exposing them. You do not see that on the other side, you do not see them going after Hasan Puker or the rest of the pukes over there. In fact, you see them celebrating the Tuckers and his ilk. Celebrating them, promoting them. They're useful idiots that they use against you and me, but we've washed our hands of these people. They haven't washed our hands of their people. They're in the party. They're mainstreaming them. They're mainstreaming them over there. And rather than Hakeem Jeffrey saying, you know what, let's all watch our language, I'll watch mine. You watch it. No, he's not stopping. And then he attacks a pregnant woman. That's right, he attacks the press secretary. Caroline Levitt just trashes the hell out of her. He's a tough guy. Hakeem Jeffries. Cut six. Go.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

The so called White House press secretary who's a dispute.

[Mark Levin]

And what is this crap with the so called? Everybody's a so called. She is the press secretary, moron. What do you mean so called? You a so called congressman? Are you a so called Democrat leader? You jerk. You're just trying to dehumanize everybody. That's what he does. So called president, so called press secretary, so called moron.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Go ahead.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

Oh, liar. Had the nerve to stand up there and read talking points.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Calls her a stone cold liar because

[Mark Levin]

she read not talking points.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Quotes from one Democrat after another. And the things that they said.

[Mark Levin]

Stone cold liar. Do you think with a so called leader like this, the Democrats are ever going to keep their powder dry? You do you think they're ever going to tamp it down?

[Bruce Blakeman]

No.

[Mark Levin]

This is their DNA. We're against violence. We need to unite now. We need a full time everyday wartime mentality. That's right, get the Hitler, get the dictator.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

That's what he does. And he's not alone. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin Show Announcer]

Mark Levin,

[Mark Levin's Wife]

foreign

[Mark Levin]

folks, Mark Levin here with exciting news on launch of our third season of on the Front Lines, my original podcast series in partnership with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Now this season's premiere episode, Faith and Fellowship in a Changing World, confronts the moment we're living in right now. A world shaken by escalating conflict, rising antisemitism, and a growing effort to push faith out of public life. Joining me once again is Yahiel Eckstein, president and CEO of the Fellowship. As we go beyond the headlines to examine what these times demand of people who still believe in truth, moral clarity, and the Judeo Christian values that built free societies, we'll explore historic parallels, the spiritual roots of today's hatred and why fellowship between Christians and Jews matters now more than ever, not as politics, but as conviction and obedience. On the front lines isn't about staying silent. It's about standing firm. Find the new season of on the Front Lines on the Mark Levin show podcast feed. Wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Remember Barney Frank? He's checked himself into hospice. He moved to Maine after he was done running for Congress and apparently he's written a book that'll come out later this year about the hard left in the Democrat Party, critical of just how far they've gone. Now remember, he was very left wing and he says a lot of people talk to him and they know it's going too far left, but they're afraid to speak out and fight it. So you listen to him, you see Alan Dershowitz. It was very painful for Alan Dershowitz at the age of 87 to abandon the Democrat Party, but now he wants to destroy it because he sees it's destroying our country, it's destroying

[Mark Levin]

our faith, his faith,

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Christianity as well.

[Mark Levin]

It's a party that is utterly out

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

of control from our perspective, but from the perspective of the Marxist Islamist radicals and revolutionaries, it's exactly where they want it to be. And this group cares,

[Mark Levin]

is systematically

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

inserting

[Mark Levin]

itself within the primary politics of the Democrat Party and it plans to get a lot more of these Islamist terrorist supporting radicals elected through the Democrat Party. Through the See this is the thing. When you hear people say, and I want to emphasize this yet again, well, both parties do it. No, both parties don't do it. Our criticism of the Republican Party, one more critical is the fact that it's just too milquetoast and it's not effective enough dealing with the Democrat Party. And I don't speak of all the

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Republicans, but too many.

[Mark Levin]

But the other party is downright diabolical and evil and it has succumbed or acquiesced, now enthusiastically embraces the most hideous elements in our society that want to destroy our economic system, destroy our borders, destroy citizenship, that want to destroy our form of government, that want to destroy our economic system. Here we are, the greatest country on the face of the earth in every respect, by every measurement. Every measurement. Every measurement.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And they want to destroy it.

[Mark Levin]

Can you pick a better country? There aren't any. They're good countries. They're not America. And people come into our country from these other countries. Many of them are hell holes. Not only won't they assimilate, they try to destroy our country from within. And they're. Their revolutionary activities are embraced by homegrown Marxists and now fascists, the woke. Right. You and I are constitutionalists. Constitutional conservatives. That's what we are. And we've been for a quarter of a century since I've been doing this.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Got a lot more when we return, because there's a lot more going on in our country, and you need to

[Mark Levin]

be in tenu to it all. I hope you're checking out Liberty's Voice.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

It's our new video podcast.

[Mark Levin]

It's different than everybody else's.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

I go into history.

[Mark Levin]

I go into substance, economics, and philosophy. Yes, I take on those that need to be taken on. Yes, I deal with current events, but I try to apply our knowledge and history to it.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

He's here.

[Mark Levin Show Announcer]

He's here now, broadcasting them from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 877381 3811-877381-38811. You know, there's no Kings movement, Mr. Reducer.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You've heard of it, right? It's funded by the billionaires. What about no Queens? How come there's a not a no Queens movement? Kamala Harris wants to be queen, doesn't she?

[Mark Levin]

What'd you think I was talking about, Rich? No kings, no queens, right?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Kamala wants to run again. According to polls, she's leading now. That can change overnight. Who knows? But wouldn't that be a gift, though? Who has the worst cackle, her or Carlson? I mean, they're kind of interchangeable, aren't they? They're kind of interchangeable. Ladies and gentlemen, the Marxist left and the Islamist left, they really hate me. They really hate me. On a recent video podcast, I said, what's wrong with deplatforming Nazis and jihadis? They're terrorists. What's wrong with that? I didn't say the government should do it.

[Mark Levin]

But what's wrong with us, you and

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

me, the market system, deplatforming them.

[Mark Levin]

So some guy who's a coward.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And as I told you, it's very toxic on the Internet. Shadow of Ezra has a skull there with his teeth showing that he's a coward. Mark Levin says it's time to ban Nazis and jihadis from social media, saying free speech has gone too far and is overprotected.

[Mark Levin]

He wants them immediately removed from all

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

platforms because they are inciting violence.

[Mark Levin]

Levin is trying to put people who

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

disagree with his politics in the same categories as an assassin. Does that even make sense, what he just said there, Mr. Reducer?

[Mark Levin]

You know, ladies and gentlemen, if you're

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

an avowed communist, even now you're not supposed to join the civil service, the federal bureaucracy.

[Mark Levin]

That was our position for 100 years.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

If you're an avowed communist, it seems

[Mark Levin]

to me if you're an avowed Nazi, that's no better, is it? If you're inciting violence, that's not protected speech.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

If you can prove the elements of incitement, as I explained on this very

[Mark Levin]

video podcast, that this moron didn't comprehend, or cherry picking.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And this is what they do.

[Mark Levin]

So following up on that, we have a guy named Glenn Greenwald. Glenn Greenwald is a freak, a fraud and a phony.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

He did a sex tape, I think, didn't he?

[Mark Levin]

Rich

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

or one was done of him. I couldn't look. I don't look at that stuff. And then he moves to Brazil.

[Mark Levin]

So I call him a boy from Brazil, but he's a radical kook. He's a cancer in the body politics now. He's a bleeding hemorrhoid. The greatest threat to free speech in the west continues to be Israel first loyalists.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

I'm an America first loyalist. Always have been and always will be. As has my family. But they do that because it's a blood libel.

[Mark Levin]

Because they want you to think they're defending America when they hate America. Glenn Greenwald hates America. He hates our Founding, he hates our Constitution. He hates the Declaration, he hates our economic system. That's why the freak fraud and the phony moved to Brazil. And he moved to Brazil when a Communist is running the damn country.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

He's also a friend of Katarlson and the rest of them. And Megan. Whatever happened to her, by the way?

[Mark Levin]

The greatest threat to free speech in the west continues to be Israel first loyalists. Who is a desperate response to skyrocketing contempt for Israel or imposing all forms of censorship on Israel? Critics.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

First of all, how am I imposing censorship on anybody. I don't have the.

[Mark Levin]

You know, if I had all the power these guys say I have, Mr. Madhu, wouldn't that be amazing? I'm in charge of war, I'm in charge of peace, I'm in charge of speech, I'm in charge of everything. And yet here I do in my

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

little hovel here, behind a microphone or a TV camera, not in charge of anything.

[Mark Levin]

I thought I was irrelevant. I thought I had no audience. He's a boomer. Yeah, boomer. All those things you use, all you little punks out there, we invented them. That's right. This great society you inherited, we built it, as did our ancestors. You didn't build anything. Just. Just a reminder. Just a reminder. Now this, this freak, fraud and phony.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

The boy from Brazil, he didn't listen to my podcast.

[Mark Levin]

It's not possible.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

But you can, and you can understand exactly what I'm talking about.

[Mark Levin]

I said yes. We have no obligation to listen to Nazis and Marxists and Islamists. We should deplatform them. We? You, me, the American people. What do I mean by that? Well, these businesses are private businesses. They're not government. They're not required to carry these people. And we can boycott them by not listening to them, not watching them, rather than helping them grift and become multi millionaires spewing Mein Kampf. What is wrong with that? What? They think they have jobs for life and we are required to watch them and pay them and a private business is required to platform them? No, they are not. Any more than a restaurant is required to serve a Nazi or a Marxist who comes into their dining room and starts screaming, you know, like a head case.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Like a head case. But boy, do they hate me, hate me, hate me. And that's okay. That's okay. The feeling is mutual. The difference is I am not violent in the. In the least. Now, I'm tough, don't get me wrong. But I'm not somebody who seeks violence. I'm just not Ro Khanna.

[Mark Levin]

Ro Khan Mankana. He loves this guy, Hassan Piker. He went on there once, said he'd go on there twice. Yes, Hassan Piker. You know, the 25th anniversary, sad as

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

it is, of 9 11, is coming up this September,

[Mark Levin]

and everybody under 35

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

doesn't even remember it. It's terrible. You're under 30. They don't remember 9 11. They don't know anything about the Holocaust. They don't know anything about Mao Zedong and Stalin and.

[Mark Levin]

Because if you don't live through it

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

and don't witness it, aren't aware of it.

[Mark Levin]

And if you don't read books and you don't, you don't really look into it, you don't know anything, you don't have any knowledge, you don't have any, you know, you don't have any basis for an opinion. And so you'll listen to these, to these pigs, to these, to these haters, to these Nazis, to these Islamists and

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

so forth and so on.

[Mark Levin]

Ro Khanna thinks that's perfectly fine. It's all about the First Amendment. I told you again, inciting violence is

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

not protected by the First Amendment. Obstructing law enforcement that's trying to detain illegal aliens who've committed additional crimes. That's not the First Amendment either. People with an IQ of negative 17,

[Mark Levin]

they keep telling us what the First

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Amendment means and they don't even have any idea what it means. And what the Supreme Court has said it means. Facebook, Twitter, akx, Spotify, down the list.

[Mark Levin]

They're not required to platform anybody. They're not even required to be in business. But they're not required to platform people

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

who demand that our country be destroyed from within, who day in and day

[Mark Levin]

out push for violence, who day in and day out attack Christians and Jews. They're not required to do that. It's a business. A business is private ownership. Just as your house is a private place. You're not required to platform people. Don't they all sound like left wing punks? Oh, look at that. He's trying to deplatform. Yeah, why not? Freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the government denying speech. It's not you and me or a private company denying it. That has nothing to do with the First Amendment. It's called liberty. Liberty. Our liberty. Our private property rights. It's ridiculous. Well, look at this.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

She's against it.

[Mark Levin]

We'll circle back.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

We have a guest coming on. He's running for governor of New York. His name is Bruce Blakeman.

[Mark Levin]

He's the Republican.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And if New York doesn't throw this governor out now, this Hochul, it's over. It's over because between her and that

[Mark Levin]

moron mayor and so forth and so on, people are then telling them, yes, we want to be taxed out of business. We want to be taxed out of our homes. Yes, we do. We want criminals running all over our communities. We want illegal aliens in our streets. Yes, that's what we want.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Well then you vote for these people.

[Mark Levin]

I'll be right back.

[Bruce Blakeman]

Foreign.

[Mark Levin]

It's a pleasure to have Bruce Blakeman on the program.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

First time he's running for governor of New York. How are you, sir?

[Bruce Blakeman]

I'm doing well, Mark. I'm a big fan. You are probably one of the most articulate people when it comes to explaining the importance American values, capitalism and the values that our parents and our grandparents taught us. So thank you. God bless you for all you do well.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Thank you. And you've been a very successful executive in a marginal district, marginally Democrat, isn't that correct?

[Bruce Blakeman]

Yeah. Well, we have 110,000 more Democrats than Republicans in Nassau County. We are on the border of New York City. And I was very fortunate to win reelection on Republican and conservative principles in a landslide this last November by 36,000 votes.

[Mark Levin]

Wow.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

So you're gonna have to do something similar statewide because there's a lot more Democrats than Republicans. But you know, I think even Democrats get sick and tired of crime, Illeg, immigration and taxes, don't you?

[Bruce Blakeman]

Absolutely. As a matter of fact, tonight a Democrat is hosting a major fundraiser for me because common sense Democrats realize that their party has left them behind. When you think about the Democrats like Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Scoop Jackson, people who may have had differences with Republicans over the size of government, over business and labor, they all coalesced around American values. So the Democratic Party has now gone off the deep end. They're far Left, progressive, woke. And unfortunately, so many of them are un American. They don't love America, they denigrate America. And I think common sense Democrats realize that. And that's why I won reelection with such a large number, because so many Democrats are saying, this isn't the party that we signed up for.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

We've been talking about people like Alan Dershowitz, Barney Frank, even though he's a Democrat. Apparently he's going into hospice, he's got bad heart disease, but he's apparently penned a book talking about the hard left of the party. The Democrats moving way over there. I mean, this is the problem, isn't it?

[Mark Levin]

The Democrat Party now is a radical

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

left wing party, hates the country, wants

[Mark Levin]

us to lose the war, open borders and go on and on and on. And that if you're an American and you don't put your party first, this has got to be stopped. And we have a couple of ground zeros. One ground zero is obviously the state of New York.

[Bruce Blakeman]

Well, U.S. news World Report says that my county is the safest county in America. Not the safest county in New York, the safest county in America because I back the blue. I back our cops. I've hired 600 new law enforcement professionals. I haven't raised taxes one penny in four years. I've gotten seven bond upgrades, four budget surpluses in a row. And that's why common sense Democrats are supporting me. And that's what they're longing for in New York under Kathy Hochul. We are the most overtaxed, over regulated state in the United States of America. Our electric costs are 70% higher than the national average because Kathy Hochul has completely bought into the green energy scam. And we have one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world in our state. And we don't drill. It's insane. And we have a governor that's the most pro criminal governor in the United States. So when I see an Alan Dershowitz, who is a, a lifelong Democrat, when I see him stand up and say that my party has gone nuts, I applaud his courage and I encourage other Democrats and independent voters to realize and stand up and say, there'll be nothing left of this country, There'll be nothing left of this state if the socialists ever take over. Winston Churchill said that socialism is shared misery. So is that what they want to do? Make all of us miserable?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Mm. Now, if people want to help you, I'm talking to Bruce Blakeman, who's running for governor as the Republican, and he's running against Hochul, who's a disaster in every. In every way, by every measure. Where do they go if they want to help you?

[Bruce Blakeman]

Well, please go to Blakeman for New York.com Blakeman for New York. Calm. Anybody that wants to volunteer, anybody that wants to make a contribution. New York State is just one of the dominoes. I mean, we've seen what's happened in California. We saw what happened in Minnesota. And New York State was the once great empire state. And now we're 41 in economic development. We have an illegal migrant program. We're a sanctuary state. We spent $8 billion of our taxpayer money on people who aren't New Yorkers, they're not Americans, and they've been here for 15 minutes. It's insane when we could cut taxes with that money, invest in our infrastructure, invest in education, invest in our hospitals. Kathy Hochul and Mandami, the commie, they're investing it in people that haven't earned a thing. And that's one of the reasons why people are so upset with Kathy Hochul. And now people are seeing the truth. Zo Ron Mandami. He's not making it more affordable in New York City. He's making it more expensive. He wants to tax everybody.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Mm. They always do. They pretend they're going after billionaires, which they are, but they're going after average Americans to work every day, 10, 12 hours a day, early in the morning, late at night. It's happening all over New York City. You got electricians and plumbers and delivery guys and on and on and on. Pizzerias. And they're all going to suffer the consequences of this.

[Mark Levin]

As a matter of fact, New York

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

City and New York are depopulating, aren't they?

[Mark Levin]

People are leaving.

[Bruce Blakeman]

People are leaving in droves. We lose hundreds of thousands of people every year. We lose businesses that are taking valuable jobs out. Look, the way to make it more affordable is not giving somebody a free meal or a free bus pass. The way to make it more affordable is through economic development. Create prosperity, create jobs, make it business friendly, have low energy costs, reduce taxes, and you will see the state of New York take off like a rocket. But unfortunately, we have a governor, and now we have a mayor in the city of New York who are intent on attacking people who are successful, people who are the job creators, people who work hard, take risks, use their ingenuity and their brains to produce things. And they want to go to mediocrity. They want all aspects of people's lives to be controlled by government. And it's completely antithetical to American values, to capitalism, to the, to the principles that we grew up with that made this the greatest country in the world, that made New York State the Empire State. And that's what I want to get back to. And that's why we're going to win this race.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Mark well, I want to talk to you a little bit more after the bottom of the hour here we're talking to Bruce Blakeman who's running against the disaster named Hochul. I mean, if we can get a strong Republican in there, a conservative in there, somebody who believes in, you know, capitalism in there and growth and opportunity, they could bring the whole state back. And that would be Bruce Blakeman. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

[Mark Levin Show Announcer]

Mike Levin, the thunder on the right. Call in now. 877-381-33-811.

[Mark Levin]

Okay, we're here with Bruce Blakeman who's running against Hochul and I believe he

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

has a shot at this too. I think people are very soured on this Democrat party because it's not really a Democrat party anymore. It's like one of these wildly radical left wing European parties with all kinds of kooks, Islamists, Marxists, all kind of

[Mark Levin]

ists in the party.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And Bruce Blakeman, if it doesn't hurt you in New York, I'd be more than honored to endorse you because I think you'd make an excellent governor, my friend.

[Bruce Blakeman]

Well, first of all, Mark, I would be honored and blessed. Your endorsement is very valuable and I cherish it. So thank you. God bless you for doing that.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

No, it's an honor and I'm glad I can do it. We're going to have you back more often, as a matter of fact. You're very articulate about what is really common sense. New York has turned into a very dark blue state in many ways. It's a one party state. They are abusing the citizenry, abusing the citizenry, all the citizens. They are treating illegal aliens like they're first class citizens. They're treating citizens like they're servants to the state.

[Mark Levin]

Just the way she talks, Mandami talks

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

and so forth and so on.

[Mark Levin]

So let's get to this issue. Bruce Blakeman, how's affordability in the state

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

of New York under the Democrats?

[Bruce Blakeman]

It's terrible. We are the most overtaxed, over regulated state. Our electric costs are 70% higher than the national average. We are number 41 out of 50 states in economic development. That's a national embarrassment. We used to be the once great Empire State, the financial capital of the world is now run by a communist. So we need a governor that's going to come in and restore American values. That's what people are craving for. They want a state where their kids can prosper, more money in their pockets so they can make decisions about how they want it spent rather than government. A state that welcomes religion and religious freedom and doesn't try to do everything they can to have the state control every aspect of their lives, which they are doing now. People are miserable in the state of New York wherever I travel. And it is a big state. Why is the budget of New York State twice the size of the state of Florida? We all know the answer. It's fraud, waste and abuse. We don't have a revenue problem in New York State. We've got a spending problem. We've got a state government that's out of control. We have a city government out of control. And they're trying to chase away prosperous people, people who have created jobs and wealth. You said it just in the last segment. You said it exactly the way it is. When you tax the wealthy, you're really taxing the middle class because at some point they get fed up and they leave. And that's what they're doing in our state. They're moving to Florida, they're moving to Texas, they're moving to South Carolina, North Carolina, Arizona, they want out because it's oppressive here in New York State. And when they leave, think about the carpenters, the electricians, the plumbers, the store owner, the waiter, the waitress, the dry cleaning store, the pharmacy, the cleaning services. They all lose jobs and then they leave. So it's a vicious cycle. It's just like the cycle we have of criminality with all these crazy laws that protect criminals when we should be protecting neighborhoods and communities. We give more credence to a criminal in New York state than we do to our cops, than we do to our victims. The world is upside down in New York State and that's why I'm going to win. We're down a single digits behind Kathy Hochul. We're four months ahead of where we thought we'd be because people are fed up. They want a governor that cares about them. They want a governor that puts New Yorkers first. They wanted governor that's going to make a better life for their families. More affordability, more prosperity and safer communities.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Tell us about your campaign. How's it going? Obviously it's a big media market, costs a ton of money to keep up with the Democrats. How is it going?

[Bruce Blakeman]

It's going extremely well to the extent that not only is the polling very good, as I said, we're in single digits Behind Kathy Hochul 4 years ago A very excellent candidate, Lee Zeldin. At the same time four years ago in the campaign he was over 21 points behind. We're in single digits right now and you know, I have a big advantage that Lee didn't have. Lee when he was running told everybody what Kathy Hochul was going to do and some people didn't believe him. But now she's got a report card. She's got four years of failure and misery in our state and I'm running against her record and I'm running on my record where the people in my county, which is a predominantly Democrat county, reelected me in a landslide because they like those policies. They want to get back to the lifestyle that their parents wanted for them and for their grandchildren. So we're doing extremely well. We are raising money. We could always use more. Go to blakemanfornewyork.com but we're going to win this race and people know I just put out a hundred day plan on what I'm going to do and people are embracing it. And I will guarantee you mark that on January 1, 2027, they will be swearing me in as the governor of the state of New York.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Well, that would Be great if that were to happen. New York, take a breather from these hardcore left wing kook Democrats. And here's the thing, Bruce Blakeman, you

[Mark Levin]

and your party do not invite the

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Marxists and the Islamists under your tent.

[Mark Levin]

You don't go out of your way to seek them. You don't go on their platforms, you don't endorse them. These people are trashing the Jews in your state, they're trashing Christians in your state, they're trashing successful businessmen in your state, they are piling on blue collar workers, you know, the middle class in your state. I mean, they support the most radical elements and non citizens. And so it's just a matter of people understanding. Don't by rote just flick the switch for a Democrat when the Democrats are the ones who expect you to do that. And that's why they abuse you, right?

[Bruce Blakeman]

African American voters, Hispanic and Latino voters, Asian American voters, they are all saying, this is not what we bargained for. These people are crazy. They want to tax anything that moves. We want safe communities for our kids and we're not getting that. So we're getting independent voters, we're getting common sense Democrats. We are building a coalition for victory because these people are absolutely insane. They want to destroy the fabric of our state. Now, when the pro Palestinian protesters came to my county, they got a different reception than they got in the city of New York. I was at Columbia University. I stood there with Mike Lawlor and we watched what was going on there. The lawlessness, the harassment of Jewish students, the occupying of buildings. And when those same Palestinian protesters came to my county, and we know they're the same because our intelligence department shared information with NYPD, they got a different reception. I had my K9 unit out. I had my mounted unit out. I had my BSO unit, which is our SWAT team, I had our community relations emergency services. I even had aviation out. And when they tried to storm a synagogue in my county, they were met with a much different reaction than they got in the city of New York. It was over in 15 minutes. I told the people, if you want to protest, you want to exercise your right to free speech, there's the sidewalk. If you step off, we'll ask you once politely to get back on the sidewalk. If you don't, you're going to get arrested. And if you commit acts of harassment or violence against anybody, you're going to get arrested. Well, guess what? They didn't come back because I wouldn't take that nonsense in my community. And I got A county larger than eight states on the border, the city of New York.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

All right, my friend, we look forward to having you back one more time. If people want to help you all over the country, because this is a very important race, where do they go?

[Bruce Blakeman]

Go to blakemanford New York dot com. I'm blessed to get your endorsement. I'm blessed to get the endorsement of Donald J. Trump. And may God bless you, Mark. And may God bless your listeners. And may God bless America.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And you too, brother. Be safe out there. Well, wait a minute. You know, it's unfolding right before my eyes.

[Mark Levin]

My wife walked in, she puts a big smile on my face.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Honey, say hello to the world.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

I came down to bring my husband an amazingly healthy snack, and he didn't even faint when I did it.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Let's see, we have grapes and apples. I like grapes and apples. You know who else like grapes and apples? Gorillas at the zoo like them. And so. No, I like grapes and apples.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

No, it's really good for you.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

She wants me to live. I don't understand. She says, you need to stop with the Diet Coke and stop with this and that.

[Mark Levin]

And you know what?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

I have cut back. I know it doesn't seem. Because you catch me every now and then with a can of Diet Coke, but I never drink the whole thing.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Excuse me, America. I catch you with the Diet Coke.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Yes. Like I'm doing drugs or something.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

And I think you and I are the only ones in our generation who have actually never even smoked pot or anything like that.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

No, never smoked pot. Never smoked. So when I was going in, I had the heart attack from my heart operation. It was 40 something. And the doctor says to me, the cardiologist, the surgeon, have you ever smoked? I said, no. Have you ever done a lysidot? No. Have you ever done. No, I said, I guess I should have because. Look at me.

[Mark Levin]

You're going to do an opera.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Open heart surgery here. He didn't think that was that funny for some reason, but he had steady hands. He wasn't shaking.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Not all doctors have a really good sense of humor. We have one in our family who has a great sense of humor, but.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Cardiologist.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

A cardiology fellow. Indeed. Why do they call them fellows?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Especially when it's a female.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Yeah, well, that's true. Very good. Not very true.

[Mark Levin]

Why do they.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Why do they call a proctologist a proctologist?

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Okay. I have a better one.

[Mark Levin]

What's that all about?

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Let's stay away from that. How about this one?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Yes.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Why do.

[Mark Levin]

Come to the microphone.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Why do crates that go on a ship, why are they called crates, cargo and not ship go? Do you ever think about that?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Not really, but that's an excellent point.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

I think we need some callers on that now.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

We're not taking callers on that. Okay, what do they call? Why do you want a big shrimp and you call it a jumbo shrimp

[Mark Levin's Wife]

as opposed to a prawn, which is really okay.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Aren't prawns different than shrimp?

[Mark Levin's Wife]

I think it's by. I think it's by the size.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Why are we talking about this?

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Maybe because we're hungry.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Okay. No, I'm Romania, but thank you. Actually, you're Romanian.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

I am Romanian and I'm.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You're like Russian.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

I think a lot of stuff.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Russian and Ukrainian, I think.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Yeah, yeah. Well, enjoy.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Give me a kiss.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

Good night, America.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

There she goes. Beauty and brains. What else can you want?

[Mark Levin]

Not me, her.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

All right, there she goes. I'll be right back.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You know, these leftists are hanging on my Liberty Voice podcasts every day. Have you noticed that, Rich? They're posting on it.

[Mark Levin]

You hear what he said, hear what he said, Then they post on it

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

and twist what I say. That's one kind of cool reason to have the podcast. You can respond immediately. I don't have to wait till later in the day. On the other hand, I'm always honest with you folks. I'm going to keep doing it for

[Mark Levin]

a while to see if.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Well, to see if I can. Because number one, I've got a ton to do and number two, it's going to rely on you folks if you're going to watch it and share it with other people. That's the bottom line. I'm geared up. My guys are geared up. We start at 6 in the morning. I start at 6 in the morning and I end this program at 9pm Eastern. But I do about another half hour hour of work, so it's really 6am to 10pm I'm not complaining, I'm just explaining. And when I'm writing a book, I go from 6am to 2 to 3am in the morning. Just pointing that out as well, because

[Mark Levin]

I feel I've got to do whatever

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

I can do when I'm capable of doing it while I still have my marbles, while I still have some energy. There'll be a point at which I can't. It'll be a point at which I'm just not here anymore. And that's okay. You know, people fill in other people's shoes. But you get my point. I've been blessed with these opportunities and I have to take full advantage of them. Not because I need more money, not because I need any of that. In fact, you know, you start to think about retirement, you start to think about spending more time with your, your kids and your grandkids. And I think about that a lot. So I'll do it as long as people are really interested. I'm just not going to beg people, Please, please, please. I do want people to participate in this. Excuse me.

[Mark Levin]

Some people succeed at radio, but not tv.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Some people succeed at TV but not radio.

[Mark Levin]

Some people succeed at radio and tv, but they don't know how to write a book.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Mostly, they don't know how to read a book. Some people succeed as podcasters. Usually the biggest ones are the most foul and disgusting of the bunch because they have figured out the game of podcast. Just saying.

[Mark Levin]

The Power Hour's next first two hours flew by. Here we go. Be right back.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You know, there comes a point in life when sleep stops being optional.

[Mark Levin]

And for a long time you're running

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

on fumes, taking care of work, kids and relationships. But eventually you realize that how you sleep affects everything. Your energy, your mood, your focus, your overall health.

[Mark Levin]

At some point, you stop chasing trends

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

and start investing in comfort that actually lasts. That's exactly where bowl and branch comes in.

[Mark Levin]

Their bedding is designed for that kind of rest. Real restorative sleep. From their signature organic cotton sheets to plush pillows, breathable blankets and temperature regulating

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

comforters, everything works together to support better sleep.

[Mark Levin]

Before bowl and branch, my bedding was fine, but I noticed the difference immediately after switching.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

The sheets are unbelievably soft, they're breathable

[Mark Levin]

and somehow get even better every time they're washed.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

And so upgrade your sleep with bowl and branch.

Exclusions apply. He's here.

[Mark Levin Show Announcer]

He's here now. Broadcasting them from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Le Man.

[Mark Levin]

Hello America. The Power Hour Hour. Our number. We will be taking calls at the bottom. 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811. You know, about a year ago, most of you never heard of this guy Ro Khan Mankana. He's really out there trying to make

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

a name for himself as a reprobate, as an anti Semite, as a bigot in my view is a Marxist.

[Mark Levin]

And he's doing a pretty good job

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

of it quite frankly.

[Mark Levin]

And he's been asked about his buddy Hasan Piker. You know who he is. Born in America, raised in Turkey. A jihadi in many respects. Promotes terrorist organizations, has no problem with holocausts and genocides and,

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

and of course he, he says he has no patriotic feelings for America. Why the hell doesn't he get out then?

[Mark Levin]

He was raised by wealthy parents. He bought a home for like 2.7

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

million when he was in his mid-20s and so forth and so on.

[Mark Levin]

And he hates the country. Talked about killing Senator Rick Scott. And so my view is people like this should be de. Platformed. They should be platformed by the private companies that promote his show, that air his show. And we should all be boycotting him. Not that you and I listen to them, but I mean other people should. And that's gotten the Marxists and Islamists very upset. What do you mean? We don't deplatform. Yeah, and when they take over, we're all going to the gulag, so I don't know what the hell they're talking about. So here's this guy Ro. Con man Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley, by the way. Cut seven. Go.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

Congressman, do you think it was a good move to have that spirit of what you just said and sit down with somebody like Hassan Piker?

[Hasan Piker]

Well, look, Hasan Piker is part of the First Amendment. I go on. Sean Ryan. I've gone on flagrant.

[Mark Levin]

Excuse me, excuse me.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Really mean Hassan Piker's part of the First Amendment, Mr. What does that even mean? The First Amendment protects individuals from government silencing them. Under certain circumstances, even the government can silence you. I don't need to go through it all right now, but we've been around a long time. It's been litigated, the courts ruled, others have explained. But Piker is a private citizen on a private, you know, non governmental platform.

[Mark Levin]

So what does this have to do.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

He's part of the First Amendment?

[Mark Levin]

That doesn't even make any sense.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Go ahead, Hasan Piker.

[Hasan Piker]

I go left, right. People criticize me for coming on Fox News. Not that I'm comparing you to other people.

[Mark Levin]

Then why did you bring it up?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

If you're not comparing, what is Fox News promote Nazis? Does it promote October 7th?

[Mark Levin]

Does it promote 9 11, moron. Go ahead.

[Hasan Piker]

I have condemned unequivocally the idea that America somehow deserved 9 11. Of course we didn't. It was a terrorist attack by Al Qaeda. I've condemned the idea that anyone would threaten the life.

[Mark Levin]

You went on his platform with a guy that doesn't condemn it, that celebrates it. And you, you did that because of the size of his audience filled with nuts. That's why you did it. Would you go on a platform of a Nazi? Would you go on a platform of a fascist? No. Ask him. Ask him will he go on Nick Fuentes, his platform little laid off. No, he won't. Do Fuentes invite him. I know you're listening to every damn thing I say, you little puke. Go ahead. Invite this Ro Khanna onto your platform and interview him. Go ahead, you little shrimp.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Go ahead.

[Hasan Piker]

Senator, I disagree with Senator Scott. Of course he should be safe so one can have conversations but condemn any incitement.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Of course he should be saved. Sounds like a buffoon. Sounds like a buffoon.

[Mark Levin]

Cut eight.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Go.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

Some of the stuff that he said. He says the Hezbollah flag is dope. He likes Hamas better than Republicans, landlords are mfers. And you go and sit down with him and you put your reputation on the line and you want everybody else to take a step back.

[Hasan Piker]

Well, Brian, because I have said that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Hezbollah is a terrorist, terrorist organization. I was one of the first people who condemned the shooting of the United Health Care Executive.

[Mark Levin]

But what do you mean you're one of the first people who condemned it?

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

We all condemned it, you moron. But we didn't ask you that. We asked you, why are you on this guy's platform? That's what killed me to ask you. Go ahead.

[Hasan Piker]

Why? Because he's speaking about some of the frustrations. He's speaking about a lot of followers. Well, there are a lot of people on the podcast world, etcetera, who say things that are outrageous or sensationalist. And I push back when you do that. But we have to understand the anger in this country of people who feel.

[Mark Levin]

No, no, no, no, no. That has.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Listen to me. Listen to me, America. This guy's a weasel. He's a quizzly. That's what he is. This should never have been done. If you want to run for a high office, you don't go on this guy's platform. This guy should be deplatformed. Has nothing to do with the First Amendment or the Bill of Rights. Zero. This Glenn Greenwald, he's a moron. He runs to Brazil. He's stupid in two languages. Boy from Brazil hates America, but at least he leaves America. These other guys, they live in America.

[Mark Levin]

They benefit from capitalism. They benefit from all your hard work, from your taxes. They become multimillionaires. Him, Tucker Carlson, is just like this guy. Oh, yes, he is. And they're trashing our country and they're building up the enemy. They both support Iran against our country. They both support Russia against our country. Absolutely. They both embrace Sharia law over the Constitution. 100%. They hate Jews, they hate Christians. 100%.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Yep. Go ahead, House.

[Hasan Piker]

They can't afford gas. They can't have health care. They're upset at the system. It's one of the reasons Trump.

[Mark Levin]

Okay, they can't afford gas. They can't afford housing. They can't afford this, they can't afford that.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

I don't get it. We just had Biden for four years, did we not?

[Mark Levin]

We have these dark blue states, one party states.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

They're the ones that determine the price of gasoline.

[Mark Levin]

How come gasoline and electricity are higher

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

in California, New Jersey and New York than anywhere else?

[Mark Levin]

Why is that? Why is it California can produce energy, but they don't want to? New York, New York. You just heard Blakeman. He just said, we got all these reserves. We could, but they don't want to. The cost of electricity through the roof because in New Jersey, New York, much of New England, California, Oregon, Washington state, places like that, they drive up. The price of electricity doesn't have to be as high as it is. Look at the gasoline taxes in California,

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

New York and New Jersey, they're through the roof.

[Mark Levin]

California, 70, 72 cents a gallon, for God's sakes. The highest tax states in the country. I just named three of them, all blue states. Affordability talks about the price of a gallon of gasoline. His party doesn't want us drilling, they don't want us refining, they don't want pipelines, they don't want anything. Electricity. We want electricity. And we're going to force you to buy electric cars. So every 300 miles here, you're dead in the road. If you have an accident, we can't get you the hell out of a car. Look, if you want an electric car, have it. I don't. If you want a hybrid car, get that. If you want a gas car, get that. That's America. It's called affordability. The blue states are far less affordable than the red states. How do we know people are getting up and they're leaving the blue states for the red states? That's why they're importing illegal aliens. So there are good answers, better answers to this guy when it comes to the spewing of they can't afford health care. Obamacare destroyed the price of health care. Obamacare destroyed health care. It's still the greatest health care system in the world, by the way. But Okami, Obama chair. Okami chair. It drove the prices way, way up and it made it difficult to see specialists. You got to go through 14 layers of bureaucracy. That's their universal health care right there. They tried it, it failed. And it has massive subsidies for me and you, you and I, the taxpayer, massive.

braces for what's to come next.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

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

[Mark Levin]

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.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

All President's speech on the White House lawn early this morning was actually excellent. I thought the King's speech in front of Congress was excellent. And some of you are really sharp. You'll say, yeah, but a little bit of climate change, it didn't bother me. He's not a policymaker. And I just thought it was a very well done speech. Was actually very funny, too. And we don't have time to play the whole thing, of course, but I want to play a little bit of it for those of you who are not there at the time. And I also want to play a little bit of what the President had to say.

[Mark Levin]

So let's start with cut 17.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Mr. Producer. Go.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

Here in the shadows of monuments to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, honoring the British king might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American Indian independence. But in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had a culture, a character and a creed. Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts, moral courage. And it came from a small but mighty kingdom from across the sea. For nearly two centuries before the Revolution, this land was settled and forged by men, women who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British. Here, on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and the Great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny and pride. And that's what it is. Glory, destiny and pride. The American patriots who pledged their lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. Their veins ran with Anglo Saxon courage. Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good and true.

[Mark Levin]

Cut. 18.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Go.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

In recent years, we've often heard it said that America is merely an idea. But the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776. The American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood and sacrifice. On both sides of the Atlantic, fate drew a long arc from the meadow at Runnymede to The streets of Philadelphia that ran through the lives of people born and bred on the British code that no man should be denied either justice or right. American patriots today can sing My country. Tis of the sweet land of liberty only because our colonial ancestors first sang God Save the King.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

It's a beautiful speech. Cut 19. Go.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

If John Adams and George Washington or the king's fifth great grandfather could see that sight, they might be absolutely shocked, but probably only for a moment. Surely they would be delighted that the wounds of war healed into the most cherished friendship. Think of that very, very long ago, difficult war. And yet those wounds did indeed heal into the most cherished of friendships, most cherished. There would be moves beyond words to know that the soldiers who once called each other Redcoats and Yankees became the tommies and the GIs who together saved the free world as brothers in arms and brothers in eternity. And nobody fought better together than us. If they could see us today, our ancestors would surely be filled with awe and. And pride that the Anglo American Revolution in human freedom was never, ever extinguished, but carried forward across centuries, across oceans and across history, until it became a fire that lit the entire world.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Beautiful speech. And there's more of it. But we'll get to King Charles now at the joint address to Congress. Cut 20. Go.

[King Charles III]

The first reigning British sovereign to set foot in America was my grandfather, King George VI. He visited in 1939 with my beloved grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. The forces of fascism in Europe were on the march. And sometime before the United States had joined us in the defense of freedom, our shared values prevailed. Today, we find ourselves in a new era, but those values remain. It is an era that is in many ways more volatile and more dangerous than the world to which my late mother spoke in this chamber in 1991. The challenges we face are too great for any one nation to bear at alone. But in this unpredictable environment, our alliance cannot rest on past achievements or assume that foundational principles simply endure. As my prime minister said last month, ours is an indispensable partnership. We must not disregard everything that has sustained us from last 80 years. Instead, we must build on it.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

21. Go, please.

[King Charles III]

The story of the United Kingdom and the United States is at its heart, a story of reconciliation, renewal, and remarkable partnership. From the Bitter Divisions of 250 years ago, we forged a friendship that has grown into one of the most consequential alliances in human history. I pray with all my heart that our alliance will continue to defend our shared values with our partners in Europe and the Commonwealth and across the world. And. And that we ignore the clarion calls to become ever more inward looking. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, distinguished ladies and gentlemen. America's words carry weight and meaning as they have since independence. The actions of this great nation matter even more. President Lincoln understood this so well with his reflection in the magisterial Gettysburg Address that the world may little note what we say, but will never forget what we do. And so, to the United States of America on your 250th birthday. Let our two countries rededicate us ourselves to each other in the selfless service of our peoples and of all the peoples of the world.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You know, when Lincoln gave that Gettysburg Address took a few minutes. And he turned to his aide when he was finished and said, I don't believe that address is going to to be received very well. Nobody will remember it. This is the shortest speech he ever gave, of course, and one of the most important in American history. I'll be right back.

The voice of reason in a sea of lunacy.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

Mark Levin, dial in now. H381-3811.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

King Charles. A little bit more at Congress today. Cut 21. Go.

[King Charles III]

The story of the United Kingdom and the United States is at its heart a story of reconciliation, renewal and remarkable partnership. From the bitterness divisions of 250 years ago, we forged a friendship that has grown into one of the most consequential alliances in human history. I pray with all my heart that our alliance will continue to defend our shared values with our partners in Europe and the Commonwealth and across the world.

[Mark Levin]

And.

[King Charles III]

And that we ignore the clarion calls to become ever more inward looking.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Yeah. All right, let's move to cut 22. Since we already played that one.

[King Charles III]

We meet two in the aftermath of the incident not far from this great building that sought to harm the leadership of your nation and to ferment wider fear and discord. Let me say with unshakable resolve, such acts of violence will never succeed.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

By the way, I see Bezos or Bezos and I see Musk at the dinner. Now that's, that's a lot of economic power there, don't you think, Mr. Producer? I also see the CEO of Apple there. It's like a trillion dollar company. So we see a lot. And I'm sure there's more than that, but that's pretty remarkable. Tremendous, tremendous. Titans of industry. That's a good thing. All the people they, they hire, all the things that they invent. I want to do something that I wouldn't normally do. It's not sort of what I've been talking about right now, but I think it's very important. It was EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin taking ON Representative Rose DeLauro of Connecticut. She's been around forever. She's arrogant, she's radical left, often obnoxious, and he really takes her on. Cut 23. Go.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

The budget proposal reads like a climate change deniers manifesto. When climate change is flooding our streets, poisoning our air, driving up health care and disaster costs, how can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans to appease polluters under the false flag

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

of economic growth following the law, Section 202 of the Clean Air Act. Where does it say anything about fighting global climate change? Loper Bright, Supreme Court case. You're familiar with it?

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

No, I, Maybe others are not, but let me ask.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

But that's really important. As a member of Congress, Loper Bright says that we as, as an agency don't have the authority to get Creative if section 202 of the Clean Air Act.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

No, no, but you don't have. Excuse me. You do not have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it's a hoax. And that's where this administration.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

You're upset that you don't know what Loper Bright is. Do you know what the major policies doctrine is?

[Mark Levin]

I'm upset because you know what the

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

major policies doctrine is. You're a member of Congress. You should know.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

Well, you have moved from someone who defended the environment to all of a

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

sudden very defensive about not knowing the two biggest landmark Supreme Court cases of the last year.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

You are very defensive about changing your policy and your positions with regard to, to the environment. Now you just.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

You want me to tell you what the two biggest cases are of the last few years.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

This is what I want you.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

Michigan versus epa.

[Bruce Blakeman]

Whoa.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

West Virginia versus. No.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

You're here because you need money from us. So halt for the second and wait for the questions and answer the question.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

I answered your question and you didn't like my answer. Because you don't know what Loper Bright is because you don't know what the major policies doctrine is because you. You're asking me questions. You're asking about Section 2 or 2 of the Clean Air act and you don't. You don't read it. You don't know what it says.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

Listen. And what you want to do is to deny. You want.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

No, I actually read the law. I do my homework.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

Really.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

You're just somebody who likes to have the microphone on. You know what I have to do. I read the law, I read the Supreme Court cases.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

And I would say no, we should

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

do for your constituents is actually read

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

statute, budget is at real risk.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

Read your Supreme Court.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

This is the Appropriations Committee.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

You care about science now you're threatening to defund it.

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

Oh, my God. No.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

You don't fund because you don't know what Loper Bright is because you don't know what the major policies doctrine is. Your message to our. Our folks at the EPA is that you wanted to fund us to listen

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

to this bs bs.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

You think I made up these cases?

[Congresswoman Rose DeLauro]

Yeah, I think you have made up.

[Congressman or EPA Member (likely Congressman Kelly Armstrong)]

I made. I made up Loper Bright. I made up West Virginia versus epa. I made a. Michigan versus epa.

[Mark Levin]

Hmm.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

I'd say he mopped the floor with her, wouldn't you, Mr. Producer? She's bringing up climate change. Why aren't you doing this, doing that? And he's saying, because, number one, the law does not provide for that. The law does not provide for that. Number two, are you familiar with Supreme Court decisions that say that? And so she wants to keep going at it. Now, among the other people, I see. I see Justice Gorsuch, I believe Justice Thomas is there. Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Alito and their wives. I see most of prime time. Fox is not working tonight. They must be over there, I'm guessing. I don't know that. Some of the wealthiest individuals in the world, I notice, are there to see the king and the queen and the President and the First Lady. Very, very interesting. I saw the Secretary of State and his wife. The Secretary of War, his wife. What's interesting about this particular dinner, State dinner, is in order to pack as

[Mark Levin]

many people in as they can.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You'll notice, Mr. Badu, there aren't round tables. They're long tables. You know, one next to another, next to another. So you can fit as many people as possible in there. And this is what the President means about having a massive ballroom. You can accommodate many, many, many more

[Mark Levin]

people for all These different events, whether

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

they're state dinners, whether it's the media, you know, and their dinners and these other things. And you don't have to look for

[Mark Levin]

hotels, you don't have to squeeze people

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

into the East Room, things of that sort. And the presidents have wanted to do this for decades, but he's willing to take it on. He's willing to take on all kinds of things that presidents didn't take on before. Jared Kushner is there, I think, with Ivanka. I didn't see Ivanka, but that's just because somebody's sitting there. Okay, this is. The president is walking in with the King and the Queen and the First Lady. Let's take a little listen. Go ahead. I like that song.

[Mark Levin]

Everybody's standing up.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

It's amazing. They have a live camera in there. I'm looking to see if there's anybody else, some familiarity. The Nvidia CEOs.

[Mark Levin's Wife]

There.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

There is Ivanka. What's that? All the big tech. All the big, big, big guys. Yeah. Here we go. I'm sure the President will speak briefly. All right. Who else in radio does something like this? Nobody. Nobody. They're all, you know.

[Mark Levin]

Hey, did I tell you about. No, no.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

You know, when there are big events going on, we're going to try and cover them during the course of this program. Here we go. Here we go.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

This is a great honor, and we welcome Their Majesties, King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom, to the White House. Very special place. Very, very special. And I also want to. Before we really begin, I want to congratulate Charles on having made a fantastic speech today at Congress. He got the Democrats to stand. I've never been able to do this. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

So funny.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

They liked him more than they've ever liked any Republican or Democrats. Democrat, actually. So I just want to thank you and congratulations. It's not an easy thing to do. That's a tough place. It's a true privilege to have you here for this historic state visit. Last fall, Melania and I had the pleasure of visiting Their Majesties at Windsor Castle, a structure that's so beautiful and so long that it never seemed to end. I looked down, and as a former real estate person, and it just went on forever. And it was built by a gentleman named William the Conqueror in the year 1070. And I asked the king, I said, was he a nice man, William the Conqueror? He said, I tend to doubt it. I don't think so. When they call you William the Conqueror. Generally speaking, you're not going to be too nice. But he must have been something because it was nothing like I've ever seen Windsor Castle. But tonight in return, we are really doing something that's very special, preparing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, a big time in our country, very big time. And it's only natural that Americans begin this commemoration.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

We'll take it as far as we can.

[News or Audio Clip Speaker]

Transcendent bond we share with the nation. Thomas Jefferson himself called our mother country. He used to go around saying, this is our mother country. How nice. From English towns and Scottish hills, from Welsh mountains and Irish villages, a people unique in history sailed across the mighty Atlantic to settle and civilize this continent in the name of God, King and country. So beautiful they called it New England and meant that very, very literally. The first Americans saw themselves as free men carrying the forward and central liberties and ancient rights of the Anglo Saxons into this new and beautiful world. In the eyes of America's founders, our War of Independence was fought not to reject this heritage, but to reclaim it and perfect it. As the Founding father, George Mason wrote, we claim nothing but the liberty and privileges and of Englishmen in the same degree as we had still continued among our brethren when we were in Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was a miracle for the ages that sparked a far reaching revolution in self government and human freedom. But even though the political bonds between the United States and Great Britain were dissolved forever, they thought on July 4, 1776, the more powerful strands of memory, culture and identity proved unbreakable in any conflict and grew into a friendship unlike any other on earth, a very, very special and incredible friendship. Historians have noted that to this day the distinction regions of the United States still echo with the particular accents, habits and traditions of the British communities that first settled them centuries ago. The names of half of the original American states refer to members of the British royal family, as do American cities from Charleston to Annapolis, Charlotte to Albany, and even the place where I grew up and actually loved very much, Queensland, New York, who would have thought? But far beyond names and principles, there's something unique and we're going to have

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

to take a little break now. Should I do the sponsor or should I do that after? Mr. We'll do it right after. We'll move as quickly as we can, folks. We'll be right back. Go right back to the state dinner with the king and the President and

[King Charles III]

all those guests for whom this must have been a very upsetting incident. As the words of that famous anthem remind us, this is the land of the free and home of the brave. As your own response demonstrates, what used to be called in the last war in the United Kingdom. Keep calm and carry on. I now realize, ladies and gentlemen, to my amazement, that my first visit to this remarkable country was over 50 years ago. And, Mr. President, the golden threads of history and heritage between our lands are also embodied, as you mentioned earlier today, in your own family, your own family story, whose roots trace back to the beautiful landscapes of Britain's Outer Hebrides and continue, as we know, in the great golf courses of the Highlands. I can only imagine the immense pride with which your own dear mother, indeed both your parents, must be looking down on the great office to which you have been elected for a historic second term.

[Rich (Co-host or Producer)]

Well, folks, we have to skip on out. This has been covered on television, if you want to watch it, other broadcast platforms. It's been a pleasure having you here tonight. We'll do it again tomorrow evening. Check out Liberty's Voice or video podcast. You're going to love it. And I'll see you tomorrow. Have a fantastic evening. God bless.
