Episode: "Graham Platner: The Antisemitic Candidate Democrats Are Backing"

---

Main Theme

In this episode, Mark Levin investigates the Democratic Party's support for Graham Platner, the controversial Senate nominee in Maine, accused of antisemitism, Nazi sympathies, support for Hamas, and inflammatory remarks about women and rape. Levin delves into why leading Democrats and progressive figures are backing Platner despite his checkered past, criticizing not only the Democratic establishment but also voices on the far right, whom he accuses of converging with leftist antisemitic and anti-American rhetoric. The episode transitions to a discussion on progressive media, the dangers of platforming extremist views, and concludes with a segment featuring Professor Randy Barnett on crime and corruption in Chicago.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Who Is Graham Platner?

[02:14–06:24]

• Platner is "presumed to be the Democrat nominee for Senate in Maine," having forced out incumbent Governor Janet Mills with support from Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Chuck Schumer.
• Levin draws attention to Platner's alleged antisemitic statements and past, including:
  • Being "pro-Hamas" and crediting Hamas's 2014 actions as “a competent military operation.”
  • Admitting to having had a Nazi tattoo, which he attributes to PTSD from his military service.
  • Making misogynistic comments about women and rape (e.g., "women can avoid rape if they act like adults").

Quote:

"But he had one thing going for him which is the gained attention for his anti Semitism that is ticket to success in the Democrat party." — Mark Levin [02:49]

• Co-host sarcastically notes the Democratic response: "He was just going through a phase... after he was in the military." [03:42]

2. Mainstream & Progressive Support for Platner

[06:24–10:52]

• Levin criticizes Democratic leaders for not disavowing Platner, even as his controversial record mounts:
  • Chuck Schumer, “who claims to be Jewish, refuses to oppose him.” [04:41]
  • The Democratic establishment is portrayed as desperate for power regardless of the candidate’s past.
• Jon Stewart (referred to by Levin as "John Leibowitz") is highlighted for giving Platner a softball interview, framing him as an outsider and anti-establishment hero.

Quote:

“All these tough guys... they're all lining up. Van Hollen is all in... Schumer’s all in. This is the Democrat Party, America.” — Mark Levin [43:06]

3. Media and Platforming of Extremism

[07:32–16:35; 18:26–28:02]

• Levin rails against the idea that free speech means private companies must “platform Nazis and Islamists and all the rest,” referencing guests like Hasan Piker and the reach of podcasters like Tucker Carlson.
• He suggests that much of the reach of controversial right-wing media is driven by “foreign bots” and a non-American audience.
• Levin accuses leftist and so-called “woke right” voices (including Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nick Fuentes) of being weaponized by mainstream and left-wing media to damage Republicans and conservatives.

Quote:

"This is why people call monetary gold... the best of the best." — Mark Levin [20:09; as a segue to his broader point about trust and integrity in media and institutions]

4. Shift to Supreme Court and Voting Rights

[60:02–72:44]

• Levin reviews Democratic outrage over a Supreme Court decision striking down race-based gerrymandering.
• He argues the Democrats want racial districts to secure seats and maintain power, exposing hypocrisy when Republicans or conservatives are harmed (e.g., black GOP Rep. Burgess Owens losing his seat).
• He highlights threats to the Court and conservative justices from Democratic leadership (notably Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer), framing this as a dangerous precedent.

Quote:

“Let me tell you, you little jerk... You don’t own the Supreme Court. You don’t own the House. You don’t own the Senate. You don’t own the presidency. What do you mean? Everything’s on the table, moron.” — Mark Levin [63:39]

5. Antisemitism in the U.K. and U.S.

[76:35–83:25]

• Levin connects rising antisemitism in Britain and Europe with developments in America, attributing blame to both leftist and rightist rhetoric (again naming Carlson, Sanders, Van Hollen, etc.).
• Reads from a New York Post op-ed on violent attacks against Jews in the UK, drawing parallels to similar rhetoric and complacency in the US.
• Warns about the dangers of unchecked hatred and the drumbeat of extremist voices.

Quote:

"You cannot say the things that these people say and pretend you don’t know the consequences of it. Of course you do. It’s called repetition. It’s a drumbeat." — Mark Levin’s Co-Host [76:35]

6. Professor Randy Barnett Interview – Crime and Corruption in Chicago

[86:20–101:44]

• Law professor Randy Barnett joins to discuss his book Felony Review, recounting first-hand tales of crime and judicial corruption from his career in Cook County, IL:
  • Opening with the chilling confession of a multiple homicide by teenage gang members.
  • Explaining the systemic corruption in the Chicago legal system, including a judge known as "Dollars Divine."
  • Explains changes in the judiciary post-Operation Greylord, the unique pressures on prosecutors and defense lawyers, and the nature of legal reform.
• Key legal insight: "An innocent person needs an attorney who can prove they're innocent, not just knock down the prosecutor’s case; usually that’s a former prosecutor." — Prof. Randy Barnett [97:16]

Tone & Language

Mark Levin is combative, passionate, and often sarcastic, with sharp critiques for both left and right-wing adversaries. The episode sustained a sense of warning about creeping extremism in U.S. and European politics, frequent appeals to history, and a staunch defense of traditional constitutional conservatism. Guest Randy Barnett's segment adopts a more measured, analytical, and storytelling approach.

---

Conclusion

This episode crystallizes Mark Levin’s ongoing theme: the Democratic Party is, in his view, increasingly tolerant of antisemitism and extremist views when politically convenient. He lambastes media and progressive figures for their complicity and urges conservatives to recognize and resist both leftist and rightist movements that embrace “anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish” rhetoric. The discussion with Prof. Barnett provides a sobering coda, reminding listeners of the stakes in defending institutional integrity—whether in politics or the legal system.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Now let's get to the show. He's here.

[Mark Levin]

He's here.

[Show Announcer]

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

[Mark Levin]

Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381, 3811. Who's Graham Platner? People know who Graham Platner is. He's going to be the Democrat nominee for the United States Senate in Maine and he chased off the current governor who's awful in the Democrat primary. And platinum has been supported by Bernie Sanders. Platner has been supported by Elizabeth Warren. Platner supported by Chuck Schumer. Who is he? Our friend Philip Klein at National Review writes Governor Janet Mills today announced that she was dropping out of the Maine Senate race with polls showing her way behind Grant Blattner, who's now presumed to be the Democrat who will go up against Susan Collins. Senator. One of the most hotly contested races of the year. Platner was largely unknown at this point last year and yet managed to drive a sitting government out of the primary before a single vote was cast. But he had one thing going for him which is the gained attention for his anti Semitism that is ticket to

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

success in the Democrat party. Oh yes,

[Mark Levin]

had a Nazi tattoo. He was just going through a phase,

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

you know, after he was in the military. So just going through a phase.

[Mark Levin]

Said women can avoid rape if they act like an adult. Yeah, he didn't really mean that, you know, he's a national Socialist. So the socialist back him and the so called nationalist back him. But you know what a national Socialist is? They're Nazis. That he was just going through a stage, you know.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

No, he wasn't. Hassan Piker, One of the lowest of the low lives in our society.

[Mark Levin]

Born in America raised in Turkey.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And then of course, his family brings him back. Born into great wealth, pretends he wasn't Marxist, Islamist

[Mark Levin]

who supports Hamas, who supports other terror groups. In fact, Grant Platner endorsed Hamas too. He gave credit to Hamas in 2014, and the Democrat establishment refused to oppose him. The Democrat leadership refused to oppose him. Even Schumer, who claims to be Jewish, refuses to oppose him.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

As they want power, they want that seat no matter what.

[Mark Levin]

Therein lies the difference between we constitutional

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

conservatives and the rest of them.

[Mark Levin]

Therein lies the difference. Here's Hassan Piker on his twitch stream yesterday. Cut 21.

[Randy Barnett]

Go unironically saying Janet Mills is better than Graham Platner.

[Mark Levin]

Please, dude, he was pro Hamas, okay? He was giving Hamas credit in 2014, okay? What more do you want? Oh, Jesus. He said that's a competent military operation.

[Randy Barnett]

Very nice.

[Mark Levin]

That's what he said.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Do you folks think this is funny? Hamas today is raping children, widows, little girls, little boys. The imams in Gaza.

[Mark Levin]

Is that funny? Is it funny how they butchered those inner beautiful young people on October says, is that funny? Is that funny how they killed Americans too? Was that funny?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

This is a sick bastard.

[Mark Levin]

And so you know, my view is has nothing to do with the First Amendment, freedom of speech. If you're a private company and you own a platform and you're platforming this guy, why are you doing that? Why are you doing that? Since when do we platform Nazis and Islamists and all the rest of it? Oh, free speech. They say they would shut down your free speech in two seconds. Two seconds. I understand my saying this the other day very much upset trader Tucker Carlson. And we're finding out that more and more, if not the vast majority of his audience is overseas. I told you, I'm not surprised in the least. I'm not surprised in the least. He knows exactly, exactly who is kowtowing to the enemy, the enemy in Iran, kowtowing to Putin, so forth and so on. But this is Piker. Doesn't he sound like a punk?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

He is a punk.

[Mark Levin]

Here's Graham Platner on CBS News, April 10th about that Nazi tattoo. What's the big deal, really? Major Garrett and Platner. Cut 23. Go.

[CBS News Interviewer]

Graham, there have been a lot of things said about you, things you have written on Reddit, a tattoo you had and a controversy around that. And I want to ask you this because I don't think it's been put to you this way before. Is there anything you've done or said that you regret that did not come from the stresses you internalized from Post traumatic stress itself, that is to say. Is PTSD the explanation?

[Mark Levin]

So he blames PTSD for his Nazi

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

tattoo, Mr. Producer and his support for Hamas.

[Mark Levin]

PTSD.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Is this a joke? Seriously? Go ahead.

[CBS News Interviewer]

Or did you also just make some additional human errors that you want to explain or contextualize?

[Graham Platner]

Yeah, I'll be up front. I've never laid the entire fault of my previous opinions at earlier parts of my life at the feet of only post traumatic stress. When I left the military, I came out of a hyper masculine, hyper violent place. I did four tours in the infantry. We have a crude sense of humor in the infantry. We certainly have a. Yeah, it's a

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

funny thing, ladies and gentlemen. Most people who even go through what he went through don't come out Nazis, do they? Mr. Medusa? It's a real put down of our military. Disgusts me how he hides behind that. They don't come out.

[Mark Levin]

They don't come out.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

You know, supporters of the Third Reich and the Holocaust and Nazis and supporters of Hamas.

[Mark Levin]

They're like this guy Piker. The real believers, true believers.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Go ahead.

[Graham Platner]

View of a lot of topics and that colored my opinions and my beliefs once I left and came out and interacted in the civilian world with lots of different people with very different experiences than my own. Many of those beliefs and thoughts and even just language changed since then.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

That's why Piker endorses him now, Right? That's why Piker endorses him now because his beliefs changed. Right.

[Mark Levin]

Anybody buying this? Well, apparently a lot of Democrats in Maine are buying it. Disgusting. Janet Mills, the current governor who just dropped out of the Democrat primary, she ran an ad last month.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Cut 24, go.

[Janet Mills (via ad)]

I proudly served in the United States army and I was raped. For all women who have ever been raped, the pain never, never goes away. Graham Platner said women could avoid rape if they don't get so up they end up having sex with someone they don't mean. To Mr. Platner, I was not up. Platner said women could avoid rape if they act like adults. For sake. The rapists are to blame. Not women like me. Graham Platner is unacceptable.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Not the Jon Stewart,

[Mark Levin]

not the Bernie Sanders, not to Elizabeth Warren, not the Chuck Schumer, not to the whole Democrat infrastructure and establishment. They're all in. They're all in with this guy. Here's Jon Stewart on his so called podcast today.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

To quote Hakeem Jeffries in a way.

[Mark Levin]

Cut 26, go.

[John Leibowitz]

It is. I have to Tell you it's insane. The entire setup is somewhat Disney esque or just sort of this. I, you know. Well, first of all, there's always that. There's kind of always the fable of a Mr. Smith goes to Washington. A kind of, you know, an honest man who has real ideals facing off against a corrupt system that is fueled by money and toxicity and all these different. So there is an archetype for this. But I'm curious in. In your mind, why did the sort of Mr. Smith goes to Washington thing catch such fire? What do you think you tapped into? What frustration.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Mr. Smith goes to Washington. This guy John Leibowitz is really an a hole. It's always been a pos in my opinion. Thinks he's so smart. He's a big mouth. Another big mouth. And I've told you before, there's a very fine line between the Marxists and the fascists, very fine line between the communists and the National Socialists. And you're seeing it play out in the Democrat Party.

[Mark Levin]

You're seeing it playing out with these podcasters. You see it play out with Tucker Guitarlson, who sounds more like Hasan Piker. Think it does any conservative, any MAGA person. Complete fruitcake.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Go ahead.

[John Leibowitz]

Able to articulate so well early on that people just caught onto it because it wasn't. You weren't. If I may, like, you weren't mimicking any other politician to my. I mean there's, there's hints of Sanders

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

in there, but like this is so weird. This is so stupid. You know, they all think they're Socrates the way they ask questions and they're not Socrates, they're dimwitted.

[Mark Levin]

Is this a tough interview, Mr. Producer?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Mr. Smith goes to Washington.

[Mark Levin]

Like Jimmy Stewart, you mean? Very strange. I want you to know this America, these are where these people are lining up behind this guy.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Go ahead.

[John Leibowitz]

A bit iconoclastic when it came to what you were putting out there. And it didn't seem focus grouped and considered or any of the other artifices that occur with.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Yeah, exactly.

[John Leibowitz]

With a lot of politicians. So what kind of took off.

[Graham Platner]

Yeah, I think it's. Honestly, I think it's two things. The first is that I actually have politics. I have over the years, throughout my life, through my experiences overseas, coming home, my disillusionment, I went looking for answers. And in the looking for answers, I read a lot of books and I

[Mark Levin]

developed frankly such bull crap.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

This guy, neo Nazi pos. They want that seat desperately. That's the bottom line. He's anti establishment.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, I'll say

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

He was a lost soul. America looking for his way. And he found his way to the tattoo parlor and the Nazi tattoo. Things he said about women. He's just a lost soul. The military did it to him. The whole environment of the military did it to him. And now he's running against the man. He's running against the system. He's got the backing of a Bernie

[Mark Levin]

Sanders, fan of Hamas himself. Backing of Elizabeth Warren, Same thing. Backing of Hasan Piker. Oh, yeah. John Stewart, man, all those great revolutionaries. All millionaires, by the way. Oh, yeah, they're. They're really, really against the system. And now they found Graham. That's right. Graham Platner. He's just different. He's going to be a Democrat nominee for the Senate. Everyone's focused on his damn tattoo. What's that all about? Cut 27, Mr. Producer. Go grab.

[John Leibowitz]

Can I ask you a question? It's. It's a slight change of topic, but like. Well, first of all, let me just say, you know, all I heard about you.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

First of all, look how deferential this guy is.

[Mark Levin]

Graham, can I ask you a question?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Pretty please? Graham, can I.

[Mark Levin]

It's a little off topic. It's a little different. Graham, go ahead.

[John Leibowitz]

Guys got up tattoo and some Reddit posts that aren't any good.

[Graham Platner]

Yes.

[John Leibowitz]

And yet as I talk to you, your candidacy, the way that it's resonating with, with people, it couldn't make more sense. It's logical. It has. I can almost watch the bottom stair. And you walking up the stairs as something that is organic and builds naturally and makes God.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Is this, is this sickening and pathetic? It's organic and it strikes me as true. Walking up the stairs, dropping the Nazism and the rape stuff and all the rest of these, these people are trying to stick it to you. And here you are, you're at the top of the stairs, angelic. I see your wings. I see, I see, I see another Democrat senator. I'll be right back.

[Show Announcer]

Mud Lopin Foreign.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/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 two, in 2020, global gold demand passed 5,000 tons for 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. That's why I trust monetary gold. 26 years, 50,000 clients. AAA Better Business Bureau rating, every fee disclosed up front.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

All right, so this is long, fairly long piece here in the New York Slimes, which of course has done three puff pieces on Hasan Piker. Same newspaper that promoted Hamas casualty numbers. The same newspaper that covered up the Holocaust. The same newspaper that covered up Stalin's

[Mark Levin]

slaughter of the Ukrainians in 1932. That newspaper. Same newspaper who brought us Fidel Castro in Cuba. Platner has a long history making inflammatory statements online, but he's apologized for many of them. Also untested on the national stage. At a campaign event on Tuesday night,

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

two voters were concerned the Republicans would tear him apart. You know, excuse me, cholera, that is

[Mark Levin]

well into the article. Well into the article after they're gushing all over him as an upstart, a progressive, an outsider, and all the rest of it.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Two facts, one conclusion. Fact one, 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 2021, gold prices have tracked US debt almost perfectly. Fact two, 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

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

the best of the best.

Call in now 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Nazis, Marxists, Islamists, neo fascists. Are these the people who are going to take over the Democrat Party and the Republican Party? Republican Party's putting up a fight, largely due to people like me. And if you don't believe me? I am so deep into Trader Tucker Katarlson's pea brain, it's not even funny. He's got a very limited vocabulary. Apparently my name is part of it.

[Mark Levin]

How can this guy that just does a weekend show. Marjorie. Marjorie. Trader Gangrene. How can this guy that just has a weekend show on Fox, how can he do this to us? Why do people listen to him?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Well, folks, you're out there. We have millions of people on the radio program and they can't make it on radio. We have millions of people on Fox. They can't make it on Fox. They don't know how to behave. And now it comes out that most of his audience is overseas. And I warned you about this bots.

[Mark Levin]

And what I've come to learn in

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

this podcast world where there are some great podcasters and then a lot of nimrods, is that truly calibrating the size of the viewership? Impossible. It's an impossibility. It's impossible. So you're fed a lot of BS about God. He's got 20 million. 20 million what? Followers. No, he doesn't. Well, it says so. Of course it says so.

[Mark Levin]

And then where are they from? Remember those polls that said that Donald

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Trump was at a zillion percent in

[Mark Levin]

these clowns were at 6%? Well, if they literally had 20 million Americans following them, then they wouldn't be at 6%, would they?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Mr. Producer?

[Mark Levin]

I understand that a great number of their most committed viewers are in Pakistan. Pakistan. You wonder why some of these people kiss the butts of people like Putin. Kiss the butts of people like the Iranian regime, people in Qatar. Because that's their focus. That's their bread and butter. That's their grift, not Americans. Americans don't want to hear all this anti Christian stuff, anti Jewish stuff. Americans don't want to hear that Hitler's the good guy and Churchill's the bad guy. Americans don't want to hear this crap. And Tucker Carlson, by the way, he comes out with this video and it's amazing to me, with all the media he leaks to and that and that try and try desperately to make him relevant. It amazes me that none of them ask him about these texts he had with the enemy, the Iranian regime, in the lead up to the war. He attacks with the enemy

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

and then

[Mark Levin]

he puts out the video.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

You know, he says, you know, the CIA is coming after me. They have my texts with Iran.

[Mark Levin]

It's a FARA complaint.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Well, Fara and the CIA. CIA is nothing to do with far. No, no, you don't understand. And I'm trying to get ahead of this thing because apparently they're going to charge me. The CIA says we don't know what the hell this guy's talking about. Doj, we don't know what the hell this guy's talking about.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, but he knows what he's talking

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

about in this regard anyway.

[Mark Levin]

Right? He knows if he text the enemy, and he obviously did, so how come he does not release them? How come we cannot read them? This is why the guy pushes Sharia law and not the Constitution. When is the last time he spoke about that in any rational way? This is why the guy attacked Christianity, because of his Islamist audience. This is why he attacks Jews and Israel relentlessly.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Because the Islamic audience loves that. Oh, we love listening to what's his name?

[Mark Levin]

Tucker kind of name is Tucker.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

We love listening to him.

[Mark Levin]

And they play him on state TV in Iran. They play him on state TV in Russia. They play him on state TV in Qatar, in Saudi Arabia.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Wow.

[Mark Levin]

You know where else they play them

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

on state TV here in America.

[Mark Levin]

Oh, they're pushing the hell out of these nuts because they want the world to believe they represent you and me. They're anti Americanism. They're pro Islamism. Nah, that's not us. President knows it. That's why he kicked him out.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And so they're attacking him now.

[Mark Levin]

So this guy says on his own

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

part, the Trump is now a failed president. He's failure. He's failed.

[Mark Levin]

Wow. The media goes not hey headline that one, baby. Why do we care what this,

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

this scumbag says?

[Mark Levin]

Why do we care? It's a scumbag. He's not the only one. There's several of them.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

A cabal of them. Yes, yes.

[Mark Levin]

So Hassan Piker, Tucker Carlson, then you got this Graham Platner. Sick bastards.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Truly America, truly sick. Unbelievable. Actually, if we get creamed in the midterm elections, you know who to? Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Nick Fuentes, who's out there campaigning for the Democrats.

[Mark Levin]

You got people like bloated Steve Bannon.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

It's not that they have big audiences, it's that the mainstream media, so called

[Mark Levin]

use these people, push them out there. And the average person who's not watching

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

and listening all this, oh my God, the Republicans stand for that.

[Mark Levin]

Are you serious?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Oh, yes, yes. Tucker said it and there it is. It's on, it's on the Drudge Report. What?

[Mark Levin]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's covered in these newspapers. What?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

That's why the left Wing media and aggregators push it. They consume it, they give it sensationalistic headlines and they push it and push it and push it. Donald Trump didn't make the decision to go into the war. You know who made that decision, Mr. Producer? Me. I made the decision. The Jews made the decision.

[Mark Levin]

Israel made the decision. Now what does that say about Donald

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Trump if people talk that way? It's disgusting what they're doing.

[Mark Levin]

And he listened to them listen their reports that lead up to this, to this military operation is what I call it. He was pressured.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

New York Times because they talked to Katarlson.

[Mark Levin]

Is it true that you pressured the president in a lead up? No, it's not.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Who's giving you that crap, Tucker? Then we have Mediaite, which is completely bastardized, just a horrendous yellow so called

[Mark Levin]

journalism website in the lead up to the war. This war.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

They're not talking about June.

[Mark Levin]

This one. Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin visited the White House pushing opposite positions.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

I never visited the White House in the lead up to the war. Only time I was there in the last many months was Hanukkah. See what we see. The Jewish conspiracy under the COVID of Hanukkah. These are mentally ill people. They are extremists. They're destroying our country. Not because they are influencers, but because there's a marriage between the media, the Democrats, the Marxists, the Islamists and the woke. Right? They all have one thing in common. To take down the country. To take it down. Constantly trashing our country.

[Mark Levin]

Constantly.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And the president knows this well.

[Mark Levin]

On the same side of our military operation, rooting for the enemy, hoping something goes wrong so they can blame Trump

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

or the Jews and Netanyahu.

[Mark Levin]

And when they do this stuff, the

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

enemy hears it and the enemy knows it.

[Mark Levin]

There's a conspiracy, nuts constantly chasing UFOs and demons and all the rest of it. What do you know about people? What have they succeeded at exactly? They written something intelligent. Have they ever said anything intelligent?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

No, they haven't. By Ron DeSantis is killing it. He's doing a great, great job. Listen to this. Today at a news conference, they're gonna add four Republican seats in Florida. And I spent a lot of time yesterday talking to you about that Supreme Court decision involving Louisiana. And I'm gonna spend a lot of time on Fox Saturday talking about it too. There's overlap audiences. Some of the listeners and viewers are different. But listen to DeSantis. Cut five, go.

[Ron DeSantis]

We gonna do maximum warfare against Republicans, Florida Republicans. You f around, you going to find

[Mark Levin]

out all this stuff.

[Ron DeSantis]

And you know what I said was, listen.

[Mark Levin]

And he's like, oh, if you do

[Ron DeSantis]

the redistricting, we're going to take out all your members. We're going to do all this stuff. And what I said was, go ahead, make my day.

[Mark Levin]

You don't think we're going to.

[Ron DeSantis]

You want to come down here and spend money and in Florida, roll the dice and take your chances, but don't think that you can come down here, issue threats to us, and somehow you're going to make us flinch. That is not happening. And in fact, it did not happen because as soon as he came out and started doing that last week, Florida legislature turned around and they passed a new map.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And the Supreme Court ruling which says, that's enough. No more racist gerrymandering. You can gerrymander based on politics. You can't gerrymander based on racism. The Democrats can't do it and the Republicans can't do it. That's got to stop. That's not what the Voting Rights act of 1965 says. That's not what it says. He's right. And the court is right. You can go ahead and look at it yourself. Section 2 is like one or two sentences specifically says the opposite. But the Democrats think they own this issue.

[Mark Levin]

Of course, the reason the 1964 Civil

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Rights act and the 1965 Voting Rights act, often called the 1965 Civil Rights

[Mark Levin]

act, the reason they were both passed, was to deal with Democrats, Democrats, and

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

the court's still dealing with Democrats

[Mark Levin]

because I believe that minorities actually understood the history of the Democrat Party and actually

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

understood what the Democrat parties today. They would abandon it. They would abandon it. It's an evil party with evil people who run the damn thing. I'll be right back.

[Show Announcer]

Mark Levin,

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Folks.

[Mark Levin]

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 Yahliel 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.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

You know, my doing a radio show is not a right. Doing a TV show is not a right. My doing a video podcast is not a right. I don't own Cumulus west with one. I don't own Fox and I don't own rumble, YouTube and the other platforms. My writing a book is not a right. I don't own the publishing house Simon and Schuster does. That's called freedom.

[Mark Levin]

It's called the private sector.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

It's called capitalism.

[Mark Levin]

Yet apparently some of the worst of the worst promoters of Nazism, communism, Islamism, fascism, they believe they have a right to be platformed by private companies. They believe they have a right to. To be heard. Of course they have a right to speak. But they don't have a right to be platformed any more than any of you do or than I do. And yet they wrap themselves in the First Amendment, which has nothing to do with this. There's no government involved. No business is required to platform anybody. That's called freedom. That's called private property. Freedom of association, also in the First Amendment. So when traitor Tucker Guitarlson whines like a stuck pig, which he often does. Oh, they're trying to deplatform me, the Jews. They're trying to deplatform me.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

What a punk. This guy was born with a platinum foot in his mouth. Went to private schools.

[Mark Levin]

Not the best because he couldn't get in private colleges. His father paved the way for him in Washington.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Absolutely unexceptional.

[Mark Levin]

Starts out as a neocon, writing barely literate, barely coherent pieces for the Weekly Standard. And his buddy Bill Kristol trashing Pat Buchanan. Now he is Pat Buchanan, but just not as smart as Pat Buchanan. Just not as accomplished as Pat Buchanan. He bounces around from cnn, then he gets to Fox, Gave him a prime slot where so many people do extremely well in that slot.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And what does he do? He blows it because he's a schmuck. Same time he's texting these horrible things

[Mark Levin]

about President Trump behind his back. It's all about himself, the punk, all about himself. Talking about himself constantly. Interviews the same people, talks about the same people. Monotonous. The Jews are behind everything. I'll tell you this. He's contributed mightily to the violence against Jews in this country. On the one hand, they can't call him an influencer. Then on the other hand, deny that he's influencing. He's the Hasan piker of the woke. Right? It's what he is. It's what he is. He's worse than Nick Fuentes. Everybody knows Nick Fuentes is a barely literate, moronic little puke quickly dismissed another one who relies on foreign audiences. Another one. But he's worse because Fuentes is still stuck, still stuck in pre puberty.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

He. His cranium hasn't quite developed yet. Neither is the rest of them. Katarlson went to the best schools or secondary best schools. He knows better. So he's a complete fraud and a phony as he spreads the libels knowing full well, full well that he's feeding hate, evil and violence against Jews and against Christians. And he's doing it intentionally. Intentionally.

[Mark Levin]

And he's trying to sabotage the midterm elections, as is the entire woke.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Right? As they try to undermine the president. And they use the liberal media, the liberal media, the Democrat media, to promote their message elsewhere.

[Mark Levin]

That's exactly what's going on when we come back.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Looks like the Democrats are very upset about this Supreme Court decision. I want to explain why. And I also want to explain to you why they're phonies. They don't care if blacks get elected. As Byron Donald said on here yesterday, they only care if Democrat blacks get elected. Otherwise they will fight all blacks who run as conservatives or Republicans. I'll be right back.

He's here.

[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 Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, yellow, yellow. Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-38111.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Yes, indeed. You know, everything's not measured by Internet bots and foreign eyes on podcasters. Maybe you can measure them by book sales, right, Mr. Medusa? Maybe you measure them by a radio audience size. Or maybe you measure somebody by their character and substance. I think that's the best way to go, don't you, America?

[Mark Levin]

Van Hollen is now backing this guy, Graham Platner. So the Democrats are all behind him, other than Fetterman, of course. But the Democrats are all behind this neo Nazi because he had a tough upbringing, tough life after he served in

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

the military with the tattoos and his comments about women being raped and all.

[Mark Levin]

He didn't mean it. Of course he didn't mean it. Now that he's running, Hollywood will line up behind it. Let me ask you a question. They made a lot of, as I recall, a hagset tattoo of some kind. He never had a Nazi tattoo. Why? How is it that the Democrats get away with this? It's their media, isn't it? It's their media. It's their entertainers, so called. Like this guy Kimmel. Kimmel and bits. Is he gonna do spiel after spiel after spiel on his show about Graham Platner and what he said about women and what he said about Hamas and his embrace of Nazism, or is it gonna be went through a tough time? He's explained that he's getting that behind him. Will he, what will he do? All these tough guys, what will they do? We already know that John Stewart. What's his name again?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Mr. Producer?

[Mark Levin]

Leibowitz. John Lebowitz. He's a sellout. There ever was one hat tip, the Newsbusters. By the way, John Leibowitz is all in. Bernie the Stalinist, he's all in. Pocahontas is all in. Sure, they're all lining up. Van Holland is all in. That lowlife. They're all in. Schumer. Schumer's all in. This is the Democrat Party, America. Hassan Piker,

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Doran Mandami,

[Mark Levin]

Graham Platner. They just elect a reprobate for the House. From New Jersey, they elected a lieutenant governor, an Islamist. In Virginia, cair. The group CAIR is part of the Democrat Party constituency, you know, parts of the Middle East. CARE is labeled a terrorist organization. And I would like to know for anybody in government listening to me, whether you're on Capitol Hill or in the administration, how is it that this group

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

still functions in the United States?

[Mark Levin]

I know that offends the woke, right?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

But I don't give a damn

[Mark Levin]

is from the Jerusalem Post. Victory to the Resistance. CARE allegedly co sponsored event writing letters to terrorists. CARE Washington co hosts an event supporting imprisoned terrorists, raising concerns as its executive director runs for state office. Washington State is what they're talking about. CARE Washington co organizer. She organized on April 17th an event sending letters to imprisoned terrorists and violent criminals. According to promotional materials in a video published by Event co sponsor Nadal Seattle as the CAIR branch's executive director, was in the midst of running for state legislature. A video published of the Palestinian Prisoners Day, an event by Nadal Seattle on Saturday, showed CAIR's logo projected on a wall during a presentation, and one CAIR Washington representative appeared to be a guest speaker. The logo had appeared on an April 13th telegram advertisement for the event, and Nadal's Instagram post advertised CARE's involvement on Saturday. On April 17th now cares washington ker washington and the representative who appeared have spoken at the event did not respond to multiple queries about participation and event content. They didn't share the promotional materials on its social media accounts either. Nadal explained in a promotional image bearing both the Kerr Washington logo and a picture of Palestinian terrorists released as part of a ransom for the October 7th massacre at hostages that the event was geared towards supporting Palestinian prisoners and isolating Israel so they could advance the victory the resistance and the revolutionary forces of Palestine in the region. Now this is something Tucker Carlson could get behind. This is something Nick Fuentes could get.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

By the way, do you see the video of him pushing some woman down the steps? That's all over the place.

[Mark Levin]

He sprayed her in the face.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

She rang his doorbell. She knocked on his door, which she shouldn't have done. She shouldn't have done it. Trespassing.

[Mark Levin]

And she had her iPhone up. He answers the door, he obviously looked

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

through his peephole and he sprays hers in the face.

[Mark Levin]

Sprayed her rather in the face with mace.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

That's what it appeared to be.

[Mark Levin]

Then he pushed her hard.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

A little woman, she wasn't big, down

[Mark Levin]

the steps and she hit pretty hard, pretty hard down the steps. Then he took her phone and he walked in the house.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Now let me tell you something.

[Mark Levin]

You shouldn't go up to somebody's house

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

like that and you shouldn't be taping them.

[Mark Levin]

I agree with that. You just shouldn't be doing it. On the other hand, it's a little woman. You don't spray in the face with

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

mace or whatever the hell it was and push her hard down the stairs.

[Mark Levin]

Either you tell her to get lost or you call the cops or do something like that. You don't go up to somebody's house like that. The video. You're violating their privacy and their private property.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

But you don't have to assault the person either.

[Mark Levin]

It's different if it's a big guy with a gun or so. I got that. But it wasn't any of those things.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Wasn't any of those things.

[Mark Levin]

Back to care. Victory to The Resistance, said one speaker during. The Resistance to what? To you and me. America. America. Resistance. These people come into our country and then they resist us and they want to overthrow us. You should watch the posts of, among others, Tommy Robinson. This guy is great. You should watch the post of Tommy Robinson from Britain. Britain's gone to hell in a handbasket. They're gone. Starmer doesn't know what he's doing. The Labor Party is destroying that country. If you're Jewish, you can't even walk down the damn streets anymore. And they admit it. They just put out a terrorism warning. Severe, they said severe. What does that mean? I went and I read it. That they believe there will be at least one terrorist attack, major terrorist attack in the next six months, Mr. Producer, likely involving the Jewish community. They open their borders to Islamists from Pakistan and they are loaded. Their girls have been raped. Gang rapes. I'm not making it up. You can all read it. It's all out there. It was covered up. It was hidden by the government for years. Local governments and the national government. It's horrendous. You got this vile Third World culture, and it's right here in America, too. I'm not talking about all Muslims. I don't know why I have to

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

say that all the time, but I guess I do.

[Mark Levin]

I'm talking about Islamists, jihadis. And the Democrat Party appeases them. They want their votes no matter the cost. They've turned on a dime against Israel. Why? What did Israel ever do to us? Has Israel attacked us? Has Israel tried to blow us off the face of the earth? No. The Islamists want to blow Israel off the face of the earth. And us? This group care. I'm calling on the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security. I'm calling on the Republicans in Congress. There needs to be a full fledged investigation of this organization, its ties to terrorism, its promotion of terrorism, its efforts to destroy our country. It's not about free speech. That's not free speech. The morons who puke that stuff. They don't even know what the hell they're talking about. Relation of prisoners in the US and the Dal Tag. They campaign to free Salah Sarsour, who's arrested by ICE on April 2 under suspicion of funding terrorist organizations and lying on immigration forms about his conviction for throwing Molotov cocktails in Israel. How does this guy get in here? Oh, the Democrats. I forgot. Another campaign called To Free the Holy Land. Five officers of the Holy Land foundation convicted of funneling funds to Hamas. This is 20 years ago, 25 years ago, Hamas was born out of that meeting. I've told you a million times, Hamas is part of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is the mothership to Al Qaeda, to Hamas and scores of other terrorist organizations. CAIR is a terrorist front organization, By the way. If they sue anybody, you countersue them

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

and you do full discovery, full depositions, as broadly and as widely as you possibly can. Go deep, because civil litigation is actually the best way to do discovery. And just so the world knows, I've got a couple the best brutal lawyers and I'm one of them, by the way. We're ready to go. We're ready to go. Anybody tries out lawfare crap on us, I am ready to go, brass knuckles and all.

[Mark Levin]

So this guy they want freed, the care wants freed. Basrouk was sentenced to 17 months of prison in October for hate assaults against Jewish students and activists. So the goal here is to dehumanize Jews, the dehumanized Christians. Hey, look, let's just be blunt about it. I talked about this the other night. What's going on in Africa? What's going on in the Congo, in the Sudan, in Nigeria, what's going on? There aren't any Jews to speak up. You've got black Islamists slaughtering black Christians. Not about a two state solution. It's about a final solution. Go look. It's all over the Internet. It's all there. If you want to look. Where the women's groups in this country have they disappeared, Mr. Producer. Where the hell are they? You don't hear a word, not a word about the way women are treated. Where are the civil rights groups in our country? There's real slavery going on in majority black countries in Africa. Why aren't they speaking out? I'm quite serious about this. Nothing.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And you notice the Democrats don't speak out against any of it. The slaughter of black Christians by black Islamists, terrorists in Africa. Not a word. Not a word. The abuse, the rape, the debauchery against women throughout the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia.

[Mark Levin]

Not a word. Nothing. Zero. The attacks on Jews all throughout Europe and in our country. Now do you hear the Democrat Party talking about it? No, you don't, do you? No, you don't. But they line up behind Grant Planter, man. They line up behind Hassan Piker.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And by the way, have you noticed something else? You know who else the Democrats don't

[Mark Levin]

attack anymore, Mr. Producer?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Tucker Carlson.

[Mark Levin]

Have you noticed that, America, the Democrats are not attacking Tucker Carlson.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

They're quoting him in that hearing where

[Mark Levin]

the Secretary of War who gave better than he got, he was outstanding. Just attacking him, attacking him, attacking him. You had one Democrat woman, Jewish, who's apparently dating a Palestinian in Connecticut, quoting Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, Marjorie Traitor, Gangrene, quoting them. The Democrats are now quoting Carlson, not denouncing him. The media are platforming him, promoting him. No more denouncing him because they know that's the best way to defeat the Republicans and conservatives. That's the truth.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Notice how Marjorie Trader Greene is constantly quoted by the Democrats in their media. Have you noticed that? They're loving this? They love these people. So the Democrats, the Marxist Islamists,

[Mark Levin]

the foreign bots, foreign governments, foreign audiences, Pakistan and elsewhere, they love these people.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

They love these people all for what? Money? For money. Some of them actually believe the bigotry, the insanity that they spew. They've convinced themselves. But the media loves them, promotes them, gives them headlines, uses them against our president, against the GOP, against MAGA. I'll be right back.

[Show Announcer]

This is the show the New York Times is afraid of. Mark Levin. Call him now at 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

President of the United States. He's very angry about this. Hakeem Jeffries, although he keeps his cool. And Jeffries attacking the Supreme Court is illegitimate because it wouldn't hand him what he wanted, a bunch of racially based districts. In other words, Democrats. If those racially based districts elect Republicans, he'd be opposed to them. Cut three, go.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

The Democrats essentially want to defund the police, just so you know. They want to defund law enforcement. It's crazy. These people have gone crazy. I heard Hakeem Jeffries, a low IQ person, he's a very low iq, screaming today that the Supreme Court is illegitimate. I mean, that's a dangerous statement. And if I say something modest, they say, oh, he's a king.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

He's a king.

[Hakeem Jeffries]

They're sick. But Hakeem Jeffrey said the Supreme Court is illegitimate. That's a rough statement. If I made that statement, that would be the biggest story out there. Bad things would happen.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Absolutely. This is also an effort to intimidate the justices when it comes to the Birthright citizenship case. Make no mistake about it.

[Mark Levin]

And that is his dog whistle, as

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

they say to the Democrat Party mob, their militia, putting them on alert.

[Mark Levin]

Get ready to harass the justices.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Get your bullhorns ready and your drums ready.

[Mark Levin]

You know where they live.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

It'll be different this time, though.

[Mark Levin]

Biden isn't President Meritless. Garland is an attorney general. No, we have a great acting attorney

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

general and a great president and they won't stand for it.

[Mark Levin]

But make no mistake, that's part of

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

what's going on here.

[Mark Levin]

And I want Justices Barrett, Justice Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and of course, Thomas and Alito to understand you will be safe. You will be safe. I know the left is violent. We constitutional conservatives, we don't even believe in violence. We believe in self defense. But I'm just making a point. This is all intended to intimidate the justices and the independence of the courts. It all started with Schumer when he called out Gorsuch and he called out Kavanaugh. Remember about the whirlwind? You better watch yourself. This whirlwind, you're gonna pay for it. Remember all that. Excuse me. Cholera. You have that handy. Let's do it, baby. Go. I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Mm.

[Mark Levin]

That threat.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

That threat and this threat from Hakeem Jeffries. Cut four. Go.

[Ron DeSantis]

The guy's falling apart. The MAGA majorities in Congress are falling apart. The Supreme Court is a disgrace. And, Ben, in the new Congress, we're going to have to do something about this Supreme Court. And let me be very clear. Everything is on the table, everything. To deal with this corrupt MAGA majority that is issuing political opinions that are designed to.

[Mark Levin]

Let me tell you something, you little jerk. Let me tell you nice and clear. You don't own the Supreme Court. You don't own the House. You don't own the Senate. You don't own the presidency. What do you mean? Everything's on the table, moron. You swore on your Bible that you would hold the Constitution. You don't get to control the Supreme Court. You can criticize it, but you're threatening it right now. You don't get to control the House with your race based gerrymandering. Political gerrymandering, yes. Racial gerrymandering, no. That was actually outlawed by the 1965 Voting Rights Act. You. You and your fellow comrades take over the House. You're going to impeach the President. Pack the court, change the voting system. Screw you. Who the hell do you think you are, Hakeem Jeffries? You're nobody. You're politician. You got elected from a Democrat district. That's it. The constitution belongs to Mr. And Mrs. America. Not you, you jerk. Not you. Belongs to us. We the people. You're in that office temporarily. Temporarily? I don't know who this jerk thinks he is, but he's making a lot of threats lately. A lot. He attacked Caroline Levitt. She's a little thing. I mean, she's pregnant now, obviously. Cold stone liar attacks her. Tough guy, tough guy. Let me be very clear. Keep your damn hands off our Supreme Court. That doesn't mean I won't criticize the court. Of course I will, when I feel I should. But I'm not in favor of adding seats to ensure that our agenda is constitutionalized. First. They start with the filibuster on these Supreme Court justices. Was done once, once, prior to Harry Reid. And then they made it a pattern and they used it against black nominees. They really care that more blacks hold public office? No, they don't. They care that liberal blacks, Democrat, blacks, whole public office. You've heard of Burgess Owens? He's a great man. He's a congressman from Utah. A federal judge. A federal judge ordered a change in the map that was passed by the legislature and Burgess Owens district was altered. Heavily Democrat blue, and he's retiring. So there a black Republican, Christian, conservative blown out of Congress.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Do you hear Hakeem Jeffries complaining about that?

[Mark Levin]

Ladies and gentlemen,

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Clarence Thomas, the second black ever nominated to the Supreme Court.

[Mark Levin]

Did the Democrats rally around him? Look at this. We've got a black man who's been nominated by a Republican. Let's support him.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Of course not. They tried to kill him off and

[Mark Levin]

destroy him in every respect. They're not fooling anybody, these jerks. They're not fooling anybody. This isn't about black representation. This is about Democrat representation.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And I'm so fired up about this, I'm going to deal with this on

[Mark Levin]

Saturday

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

in the opening statement as well. Everything's on the table, says the little dictator. Everything's on the table. Here's Schumer.

[Mark Levin]

Cut six.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Mr. Producer, go.

[Mark Levin]

And today we're ramping up our efforts. We see the need for it just today in today's Supreme Court decision, which was a despicable decision, that is a return to Jim Crow, taking decades of hard work, sweat, blood and tears, and even people dying.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Hold on there, Sparky. Hold on there a second. Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to go online, put in Voting Rights act of 1965 text. I want you to read section two. That's what's being litigated here. I think it's one or two sentences,

[Mark Levin]

and then I want you to tell me how that can be used to create

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

racial districts. It can't. The goal was to destroy racial districts. To destroy them, not create them. If districts are created that don't provide an opportunity for black people to run or brown people to run or anybody to run. That's unconstitutional.

[Mark Levin]

Or they don't provide an opportunity for

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

anybody to vote for anybody they want to. That doesn't mean race based. Then that's unconstitutional.

[Mark Levin]

The goal was to prevent the obstacles that were created by the Democrats who keep talking about the Jim Crow South. That speech should be called the Democrat Jim Crow south because that was them. It wasn't us, it wasn't Republicans.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

The purpose of Section two was to eliminate poll taxes, literacy tests, all these other things that were used by the Democrats to either prevent blacks from voting or to diminish the black population voting. That's what it was intended to do. As Clarence Thomas points out in his brilliant concurrence. Just read it. It wasn't intended to create racial districts

[Mark Levin]

because if it was, then, ladies and gentlemen, there would be white districts all over the place that were for white people and only white people.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Now here's a dirty little secret that nobody's telling you. The Democrats want these all black districts, number one, so they can't lose. They want that Democrat seat. It's not about black. Number two, seniority. They're trying to protect each other. Number three, in many states the Republicans agree with the Democrats in these black districts. Why? Why, Mr. Producer? Because if you concentrate blacks in one or two or a handful of districts, that means the suburban districts and the outer suburban districts will be more what white and the Democrats think. Well, we'll get our black person in on this seat because we'll make sure that nobody else can beat them. And you have Republicans saying fine by us. Not all, but some fine by us.

[Mark Levin]

Now we'll have more chance winning districts outside the urban area.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

This whole thing is a hoax. It's a ruse.

[Mark Levin]

This jerk, Hakchin Jeffries, he knows exactly

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

what I'm telling you. And half listen to me. I'm going to talk about this more Saturday on fox. And half of the Democrats in the House who are black come from districts that are 40% or less black. Do you understand what I'm saying? Now I'm going to tell you this now. I'm going to elaborate on it big time on Saturday. But isn't it funny how nobody else in the media is telling you this? Nobody. It's Washington covering for Washington. The Supreme Court here did exactly the right thing. As compelled by the 14th and 15th Amendments, as compelled by the voting rights of 1965 and compelled by civil liberties. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Hello America.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Mark Levin Here, our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-38111.

[Mark Levin]

All right. Okie dokie dokie.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Well, Mr. Producer, how the left the New York Post is fueling the violent war against England's Jews. And I might add that I would argue here in our country, the Democrat Party, the Islamists and the woke right led by Tucker Carlson are also leading

[Mark Levin]

the charge

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

and encouraging violence against Jews. I don't say that to be provocative, but day in and day out you cannot say the things that these people say and pretend you don't know the consequences of it. Of course you do. It's called repetition. It's a drumbeat. You want to beat it into people's minds. You want to get get them furious. You want to create anger and hysteria, fear, jealousies. You want to rev people up. That's what Carlson does. That's what Marjorie Trader Gangrene does.

[Mark Levin]

It's what they do. It's now undeniable. They write in the New York Post,

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

war against England's Jews is underway. Mobs of anti Semites are raining hellfire and savagery on my country. Peaceful, decent Jewish population. He writes, Jews have been murdered by radical Islamists. Wednesday brought a frenzied knifing attack on two visibly Jewish men in London. For me there's no doubt whatsoever the

[Mark Levin]

left's fourth frothing demonization of Israel.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

I want you to think about Tucker Carlson. I want you to think about Bernie Sanders. I want you to think about Van Hollen, Chris Murphy, all of them. The left's frothing demonization of Israel's endangered are Jewish compatriots. If you want to know where the scourge of Islamophobia can lead, what horrors

[Mark Levin]

it can unleash, look no further than the United Kingdom.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Wednesday's anti Semitic atrocity was truly unnerving.

[Mark Levin]

In Golders Green, a part of London with a large Jewish population, a man with a knife jabbed ferociously and randomly at two men, one in his 70s, the other in his 30s. Both were very seriously injured. Their crime, they were out proud Jews on the streets of London. Terrifyingly, that has now become a risky business in 21st century Britain. Police are treating the night pogrom as a terrorist attack.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

It's not an isolated incident either.

[Mark Levin]

Indeed, the victims of this fascistic assault were treated by volunteers from Hatzala, the non profit medical emergency service that serves Jews and others across the United Kingdom. Just last month, four of their ambulances were incinerated in the dead of night by masked Jew haters who doused the vehicles and petrol and set them afire. In modern day Britain, Jews knifed in broad daylight by racist monsters are then looked after by medical charities themselves have been subjected to fiery fascistic assaults. Over the past fortnight. Two London synagogues and a local Jewish charity have suffered firebombings. The message is as clear as it is barbarous. Jews are not welcome in Britain. The most shocking thing has been the sniveling silence of so called progressives in the wake of those attempted mini crystal knocks. These Kefala wearing hyper woke people see fascism everywhere. They think everything from the vote for Brexit to the election of Donald Trump is just like the 1930s. Yet when something actually happens that really does echo the 1930s, they shrug their shoulders. To them everything is fascism except fascism. Only last year in October, Yom Kippur, two Jews were killed in an Islamist assault on a synagogue in Manchester. A killer literally named for Jihad, that is Jihad Al Shami slaughtered them on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. None of these attacks happen in a vacuum. They were underpinned, I would say energized by the broader swirling culture of Islamo leftist hatred for the Jewish state and everyone who supports it.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

This is from the New York Post.

[Mark Levin]

Indeed, mere hours after those two Jews were put to death in Manchester, leftist mobs were on the streets chanting globalize the Intifada. Two TED Jews weren't enough for them. They wanted the annihilation of Israel itself. They rubbed the salt of Israelophobia into the wound of violent Jew hate. Jewish friends of mine in the UK have for years been sounding the alarm about the rise of Islamists and leftist antisemitism. And ladies and gentlemen, it's here in our country. Except that it's expanded the woke right neo fascists led by Katarlson Fuentes and many others. In my humble opinion, they beg progressives to stop chanting for more Intifada, rightly calling it a cry for violence against Jews like the mayor of New York City for God's sakes and his putrid little wife. They said it's dangerous to demonize Zionists as genocidal racists, given most British Jews identify as Zionists. It hangs a target sign around our necks, they said. But they were ignored. They were insulted. They were accused by progressives of weaponizing anti Semitism to silence criticism of Israel.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

God do I hear this here and see this online. This dismissive attitude was worse than callous. It actively endangered the Jews.

[Mark Levin]

It embodied violent anti Semites by telling them they were right. The Jews really are a cynical, self pitying people who weaponize anti Semitism to protect their precious homeland from criticism. We've heard that from all the woke, right? Have we not, Mr. Medusa, all of them. It was obscene. London's police are now investigating whether the recent attacks on Jews were funded or encouraged by Iran. Possibility that the mullahs of a Tehran are financing the persecution of Jews in England is disturbing beyond belief. King Charles III this week is visiting the United States, making the case for stronger solidarity between the US and uk. Here's his chance to take a stand. Together with President Trump. The King should make it clear our two nations vehemently oppose the disease of Jew hatred. They should denounce Islamist bigotry and leftist lunacy and absolutely defend the right of the Jewish nation and the Jewish diaspora

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

to live in peace and security. How about it your majesty?

[Mark Levin]

Let's make a show of Anglo American

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

civilization by firmly condemning its anti Semitic, anti Western enemies, writes Brennan o', Neill, chief political writer for the British online magazine Spiked. Well, he certainly speaks for me. And our president is standing up to this and he stood up to the woke, right? And he's basically push them out of the MAGA movement. That's what he's done. And now they're out to destroy him. And the left wing media is all in on it. When you look at sites like Mediaite and the Drudge Report, the Daily Caller, which is Tucker's and these other sites, these media outlets, they keep promoting these people, headlining these people, using them as a cudgel to attack the rest of us. The media in America are in on this. They are in on it.

[Mark Levin]

The podcast companies, that is the platforms

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

that don't police themselves, they are in on it. They're in on it. Let's not fool ourselves. I'll be right back. As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what's to come next.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Been a long time since we've had our friend Professor Randy Barnett on the program. Law professor, brilliant man, a dear friend of mine. Randy, how are you, brother?

[Randy Barnett]

I'm doing great, Mark, and it has been too long. I love being on your show.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Yeah, I love having you, too, but things bog us down after a while. You've written a fascinating book, Felony Tales of True Crime and Corruption in Chicago. Now, you're a man of Chicago pretty much, aren't you?

[Randy Barnett]

I am. I grew up in Calumet City, south side of Chicago, and my parents were from Chicago. And while you were at the DOJ serving your country with Attorney General Ed Meese, I was serving the people of the state of Illinois as a Cook county state's attorney. And I'm sure you think your time at DOJ with that niece is one of the highlights of your life. And I can tell you, being a criminal prosecutor working with the Chicago police and my fellow prosecutors was certainly one of the highlights of my life in

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

the good old days. Right.

[Randy Barnett]

Well, remember, it's tales of true crime and corruption. Corruption was rampant in Cook county at that time. And the book is all about that. And it names names.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Let's get into this. So you decided to write this. And, you know, we can't go through the whole book, but give us a few examples.

[Randy Barnett]

Well, the book opens up when I'm taking a confession from a, a guy, a gang member who participated in the stabbing murder of three young teens who came to Chicago to buy some marijuana and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and they were murdered and they were massacred. And the book opens up with me being in the police station at 2 in the morning taking his confession as a member of the Felony Review unit. The name is, the name of the book is Felony Review because we have a unit in Chicago where no Chicago police officer can bring charges against, bring felony charges against somebody without a Cook county state's attorney signing off. So there has to be a 247 unit that's there to respond to crime scenes and respond to police stations in order to evaluate cases, interview witnesses, interview the cops, and if possible, get confessions. And the book starts with a blood chilling, a blood curdling confession I took from this 19 year old guy who participated in the massacre of these three young men.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And what exactly did he do?

[Randy Barnett]

What did the three young men do?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

What did he do? The killer?

[Randy Barnett]

There were four gang members. These guys went to buy marijuana. They went to a local hamburger stand where these Latin Eagles hung out to buy marijuana. The Latin Eagles told them, we don't have any marijuana. And they didn't have any marijuana. And then the guy from the suburbs thought they weren't trusting him. And so they tried to ingratiate himself by telling how close he was to members of the Latin Kings and how he had written on hits against the Latin Eagles as a member of the Latin Kings. And in fact he was talking to the Eagles and not the Kings. And so the Eagles said, hey, we know where you can get marijuana. Come with us. Drove these kids to an alley, took them out of their car, and then one by one led them back into the car and stabbed each one of them to death on top of each other.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

So the second and third one knew they were going to die, right?

[Randy Barnett]

Yeah. In fact, one of them, one of the. And we get the facts of what literally happened from this guy's mouth. And what he said was when he was stabbing the guy, he was stabbing with the guy said, I'm dead. I'm dead, meaning you don't have to stab me anymore.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Oh, my God.

[Randy Barnett]

And he was dead. He was dead soon after that.

[Mark Levin]

And that.

[Randy Barnett]

We heard that detail from the killer. I heard that.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And how long ago?

[Randy Barnett]

I was a Cook county State's Attorney from 77 to 1981.

[Mark Levin]

Are these perps still alive? Are they still in prison?

[Randy Barnett]

They're.

[Show Announcer]

They.

[Randy Barnett]

They were sentenced to death, but a very corrupt governor commuted the death sentences of all the people who were on death row. And so their life, their death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment without parole.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And the name of the governor?

[Randy Barnett]

I'm just trying to blank. He's a famous governor because he went to jail. He ultimately was. He was trying to stave off a conviction by doing this.

[Mark Levin]

But was he Republican?

[Randy Barnett]

I was a Democrat.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Yeah, I'm drawing a blank.

[Randy Barnett]

I'm just drawing a blank on his name.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Who was the mayor at the time? Do you remember?

[Randy Barnett]

It could have been Harold Washington. It could have been Jane Byrne. We were in between Mayor Daley's. Now, for the last year of my career at the state office, I worked for Rich Daly, Mayor Daley's son, and he became the state's attorney. And we were deathly afraid. I worked for a Republican, Bernard Carey, for three years. We were very proud of our integrity. We're very proud of our professionality. We had a lot of swagger. We were deathly afraid that when Rich Daly came in it was going to revert to the bad times of old. But it didn't. He ended up being a good prosecutor. And when I resigned, when I finally resigned my position, I made an appointment to meet with him at the daily center, named after his dad, to thank him for having been such a good prosecutor while I work for him.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And what did he say to you?

[Randy Barnett]

He was very. He's a very humble guy. He was very, you know, kind of odd. Shucks about the whole thing.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

He's still with us, I believe he is.

[Randy Barnett]

He was a good mayor too. He was excellent mayor. They've had. They've had nothing. They've had nothing but bad mayor since then, but he was a good mayor.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Absolute disasters. You're right. When I'm looking at it now, it doesn't say he's passed. I'm just looking quickly.

[Randy Barnett]

I haven't heard that he has. So of course I'm not in Chicago.

[Mark Levin]

I haven't.

[Randy Barnett]

I moved out of Chicago for Boston to go to Boston University in 1993. So I don't keep up as closely with all the Chicago events as I might have if I was still there.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

But it's a fascinating book because you go through these examples and so forth and so on. Give us an example in the book on corruption.

[Randy Barnett]

Well, when I worked auto theft preliminary hearing court, we had a. We had a judge, a circuit. A judge, a circuit judge who said that you can't file motions to suppress in preliminary hearing. That's something that can only happen in the trial court. So a one day a chop shop case came in. Chop shop was a. Like a murder one case. When you're in auto theft court, it's a organized crime controlled. You can't sell stolen cars because of vehicle identification numbers. So you chop them up into parts. You sell them through auto wrecking yards that the mob controls. So when you bust a chop shop, it's a really big deal. The chop shop case came in, a very well connected lawyer came in, started examining the cross, examining the cop about the circumstances of the search. The cop Starts admitting to the illegality of the search, which cops never do on the witness stand. So now we know the cop is under some kind of a, an arrangement with the defense. And then we objected objection beyond scope of preliminary hearing because that was the judge's normal practice. And then judge said overruled. We said overruled. Are you kidding me? It turns out the judge was in on it too. And, and ultimately that judge was convicted for corruption in Operation Graylord. But that was the first time we discovered that he was corrupt. Although the tip off. If we'd have only known that when he was a traffic court judge, his nickname was Dollars Divine. His name was John Devine. His nickname was Dollars Divide. If we had known his nickname, it had been a tip off that we were in front of a corrupt judge.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Was it Governor Walker or Governor Ryan, by the way?

[Randy Barnett]

Governor Ryan. George Ryan. Thank you. Was George Ryan.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

You can thank Mr. Producer, he's quick. Yeah. Now let me ask you this. It was bad when you were there. You think it's worse now?

[Randy Barnett]

I do not. I mean, I think unfortunately the prosecutor's office got worse because of a series of bad state attorneys. Although the most recent state's attorney I've heard good, I hear good things about and some great lawyers had to leave the state's attorney's office because Kim Fox and the other state attorneys were so bad. But when it comes to corruption in the Circuit Court, Operation Graylord, which I talk a lot about in the book and it's the reason I can name names because everybody I talk about was ultimately convicted. Operation Greylord I think really had a chilling effect on corruption in the Circuit Court. When I was there, everybody thought felt as sense of immunity. They could do whatever they wanted. Nothing was ever going to happen to them. And ever since then they know better. And I and a lot of my former state's attorneys are now circuit court judges themselves nearing retirement. A lot of them called me after hearing me talk about the book and thank me and for, for sort of chronicling what we've all been through together. So I think it's much better actually when it comes to the judiciary.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Are these circuit judges elected or appointed?

[Randy Barnett]

They're initially appointed and then they have to stand for election.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

All right, don't hang up. This book is fantastic. Felony Review by Professor Randy Barnett. Make sure we post it, Mr. Producer. I encourage you to grab a copy off of Amazon, ladies and gentlemen. You're going to really enjoy.

The book is Felony Review, Tales of

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

true crimes and corruption in Chicago. Nothing fictional about this. It is a fascinating, compelling book. You can get it on Amazon.com, any major bookstore. You're really gonna love. You know, they can make a movie out of some of this, Randy, don't you think? I'm sure you'd love it, but I think so.

[Randy Barnett]

I've done one TV pitch and this was designed around that TV pitch. There's a hidden thing going on that I can't tell you about and it has a surprise ending.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Well, then when can you tell us?

[Randy Barnett]

Well, you have to buy the book and you'll find. I don't want to spoil the end of the book.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

I don't blame you.

[Randy Barnett]

I could tell people. People, people are very, very happy with the surprise ending when they get to it.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

What are the lessons that one learns or you learned in this, in this experience?

[Randy Barnett]

Well, one of the things I did take the opportunity to do in this book is draw lessons as that I observed on a variety of topics. I'll give you three examples. I talk about why do peoples confess to the police without being coerced. I talk about why you would need a different kind of criminal defense lawyer if you're innocent than if you're guilty. I talk about why the exclusionary rule made the system a better system, but in fact should be replaced with something else besides the exclusionary rule. That's the kind of lessons that I draw in the book.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Different kind of attorney if you're innocent, what kind of attorney would you want?

[Randy Barnett]

Well, here's the problem with being innocent in our system. Our system is actually so reliable that everybody in the entire system presumes that anybody who's been charged is guilt. By the time they're charged, formally charged, and they've survived felony review and all the rest, they're guilty. Now, the Problem is, is that even though it's a very reliable system, it isn't 100% reliable. But the innocent go into the system basically with a presumption against them, a practical presumption of guilt, notwithstanding the legal presumption of innocence. And what a person like that needs is a lawyer that's capable of proving that they're innocent. And a lot of defense lawyers are not capable of doing that. They're capable of knocking down the prosecutor's case. Well, that's something a guilty person needs. But an innocent person, unfairly, I would say. But as a practical matter, they need somebody who can prove they're guilty, prove they're innocent. And by and large that person is going to be a former prosecutor because it's prosecutors who have to prove stuff and it's defense attorneys who knock down what the prosecutor proves.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And have you done that sort of practice?

[Randy Barnett]

No, I never did defense work, Mark. I stayed on the prosecution side. Then I went right into academia and I've been a law professor ever since.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

How do you go from state prosecutor to academia?

[Randy Barnett]

Well, it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I went into the job market after being in the prosecutor's office for three years and I got no interviews, no callbacks from the annual meeting which you get recruited at. And then I changed my affiliation. I went to the University of Chicago as a research fellow and I left, took a leave of absence from the state's attorney's office for a year, which they graciously gave me. And just by changing my affiliation, I had 25 interviews and five or however many callbacks and three job job offers. So it was not easy to do, but it was the University of Chicago that helped me do it.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

And now you're a very well known law professor. And how did you wind up where you are now?

[Randy Barnett]

Well, I started teaching at the Chicago Kent College of Law, which was. I was very grateful to get a job anywhere and I was very grateful to get a job there. I spent 311 years there. I went to Boston University. I spent 13 years there. And I've been privileged to be at Georgetown for about 20 years. And I really love it at Georgetown. I love my students. I love being in D.C. where I'm close to the Supreme Court. Have a Georgetown center for the Constitution that is an academic institution institute favoring originalism. We have an annual originalism summer seminar for students from around the country. Have an Originalism for Judges seminar. I'm having a great time. I can't say I want to go back and be a prosecutor. But that really was an unforgettable time in my life, for which I'm very proud. And I was very, very happy to commit it to paper so other people can share that experience.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

The book is Felony Review. I highly recommend it. Tales of True Crime and Corruption in Chicago.

[Mark Levin]

It's like one. It's like one TV show after another.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

You know, you watch these shows on AE and so forth and so on,

[Mark Levin]

and I'm thinking it just reminds me of these different lawyer shows.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

It reminds me of these different cop shows.

[Mark Levin]

Do you ever watch any of those shows?

[Randy Barnett]

I do, and I actually. Alan Dershowitz says it's like a reality TV show. Well, I was a little forward. Yeah. And I actually reproduce at the end of the book letters that I wrote to Grant Tinker and Steven Bochco criticizing the depiction of lawyers on Hill Street Blues that came on and then eventually on. On LA Law, because I am a child of tv. I became a lawyer Mark because of The Defenders, a TV show that came on TV when I was 10 years old. And that's why I wanted to be a lawyer. To me, the only kind of lawyer you could be with was a criminal. Was a. Was a trial lawyer. Criminal, trial lawyer. And that's what I got to be.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Being a trial lawyer is a lot of work, isn't it? And it's very emotional.

[Randy Barnett]

It's a lot of work. It's a. It's a young man. For me, it would be a young man's game. I couldn't put up with all the BS now. I'll bet you couldn't put up with all the BS in the DOJ now either, if you had to do it.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Yes.

[Randy Barnett]

When you're young, you can do anything because that's just the way it is. But it's a very demanding, but very rewarding. Here's the thing. Unlike every other government worker, we get a win loss record. We get it. We get an immediate feedback. We get a win or we get a loss. How many government workers get rated like that? Juries rate us. And a successful prosecutor should win all his cases because we have the evidence or we shouldn't be trying the guy in the first place.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Well, it's a fascinating book. I hope the audience will jump in here. Actually, I've never read a book like this before. It's really, really fascinating to me. Randy Barnett's one of the great lawyers in our country, one of the great legal scholars in our country. Originalism is something that he promoted early on, like my boss, Edwin Meese, and made it a really the interpretive method of people are serious about upholding the Constitution. And prior to them, really nobody paid attention to it. We just gave in to the activists and so forth. Felony Review is the book, Tales of True Crime and Corruption in Chicago. Randy Barnett, go to Amazon.com any of my social sites, any serious bookstore, they'll have them. Randy, really great job. I appreciate it, my friend.

[Randy Barnett]

And before we go, I just got to thank you for everything you've done on behalf of opposing anti Semitism on the left and on the right. You've been a hero, a hero of mine. I've watched you from afar. You've taken the slings, you've taken the arrows. And thank you so much for what you've been doing the last year or two. I really, really, really thank you for that.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

You're very, very kind. And God bless you, my friend. Appreciate it.

[Randy Barnett]

God bless you, too, Mark.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

You too. He's right about that. A lot of this is a young man's game because when I was at the Department of Justice, Chief of Staff dad Meese, we had arrows flying in every direction, and yet we kept our eye on the ball. Those were good days for the Department of Justice and the American people. And Reagan was a tremendous president, too. So I know a tremendous president when I see one in Donald Trump. Trust me on this, he's absolutely fantastic. And because I worked directly for one of the greats, absolute greats.

[Mark Levin]

Let's take a few calls.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Let's go to Danny Washington, D.C. the great WMAL. How are you?

[Caller from Washington D.C.]

I'm fine, sir, thank you. I heard you talking earlier about Hakeem Jeffries, the dime store Obama.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Caller from Washington D.C.]

Seems to me, and I just. The Democrat Party, after they had their sacrificial lamb, Eric Swalwell. Hakeem has found it in himself to pick up the flag and run with it because now he's the one that has become the mouthpiece for the party. And I, I don't understand why Nanny Pelosi hasn't put an end to it. I mean, the guy is a blithering idiot. He really is not doing them any favors. No, he is.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Yeah.

[Caller from Washington D.C.]

And it's just I just. After they get rid of him, who's going to pick up the flag and rolls at Kamala?

[Mark Levin]

Yeah.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

I don't know.

[Mark Levin]

Where were you born?

[Caller from Washington D.C.]

I was born in Washington, D.C. sibley Hospital.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Really? Because you have it like a Philly accent. In my humble opinion, being from Philly,

[Caller from Washington D.C.]

I have been all over the country. I've picked up every little regionalism you could think of.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Yeah. All right, man.

[Caller from Washington D.C.]

Born and raised Washingtonian.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

You're the one. All right.

[Mark Levin]

I appreciate you, buddy.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Take care of yourself. Very good. Let's go to Joe Napperville, Illinois.

[Mark Levin]

The great wls.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

That's a powerful, powerful station there. How are you?

[Caller from Boca Raton, Florida]

Hey, Mark.

[Caller from Naperville, Illinois]

I'm good. How are you?

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Good.

[Caller from Naperville, Illinois]

Hey, it's really good to talk to you. Just want to let you know, first off, I'm a police officer and I listen you every night while I'm working. I appreciate you keeping me company every night.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

That's my honor. Thank you, sir. God bless. Be careful out there.

[Caller from Naperville, Illinois]

Just want to let you know, you know, Randy, who you just talked to, appreciate him. I used to be a police officer where he. Where he used to live in Calumet City. And I just, you know, I really hope that, you know, if you're still in touch with him, you know, a lot of these judges in Cook county and, you know, all throughout the tri county area in, you know, the surrounding suburbs, you know, they're really all, you know, starting to lean left. And, you know, especially with our Governor Pritzker, you know, this guy, he's out of control. I'm a big Trump supporter, you know, and I hope, you know, you'll communicate to Trump that all U.S. police officers are hoping that he continues to push forward with his bill about.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

He knows this. He. Let me tell you, he loves you guys. He knows this. Trust me, he knows what you're talking about. And we also know about Pritzker. Pritzker is a thug. He's a multi billionaire. He didn't earn one penny of it. And so for him, this is just a free ride. He tries to position himself for a presidential run. I mean, look at this guy. Listen to this guy. Just disgusting. All right, my friend, thank you for your call. Much appreciated. And be safe out there. All you cops, be safe out there. I'll be right back.

[Show Announcer]

Mud Love in.

[Mark Levin]

Let's go to Nick. Boca Raton, Florida. Let's go. Sirius XM satellite. Go.

[Caller from Boca Raton, Florida]

Hey, Mark, I am such a big fan. In fact, I'm sitting here realizing that I called chapter. That's a great shot for me.

[Mark Levin]

That's.

[Caller from Boca Raton, Florida]

That's not the reason I called, though.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Thank you.

[Caller from Boca Raton, Florida]

You know, I was a young CEO way back in the early 2000s and in Chicago. And I had the fortune of meeting Richie Daly, the younger Daly. And I just remember two things. The first thing I remember is how he beat up on the California Democrats when he outsmarted them by getting Boeing to come to Chicago. And the second thing I remember is how he talked about just the stupidity of the Democrat Party for not fully supporting Bush in the fight after the World Trade Center. So those are the two things I remember about that. But to speed forward, because of Chicago style corruption, I lost my company. And I had the opportunity when. When Obama was a just about to become a senator. And I met him in person. I was at a YPO event, Young President's Organization. And I said, you know, you're going into a government and everybody's talking about, you know, all kinds of foreign interference and whatever. And I said, white collar crime is off the charts. And I was actually, we had people at the top of the Democrat party and the people, the top Republican Party, which is really only still the Democrat party in Chicago, by the way, telling us that the case that I had was fixed and that my company was being stolen from me. And his eyes glazed over and he couldn't get away from me fast enough. I still have a picture of that. And so I just want to thank you. You know, I live here in Boca. Bill Maher said it's the only true land that Jews have occupied. And I'm totally, as a Christian, Zionist, I'm totally supporting you guys and feel so bad for what's going on with that part of the crazy Republican Party. So God bless you, Mark. You're doing a great job, brother.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

Well, thank you, man. It's a beautiful call. I much appreciate it. You take care of yourself. And I want to say this to all of you in the audience. I am blessed. You are so loyal and so smart and so heartfelt. I know this to be the case. Wherever I go, people come up to me. They say, I've been listening to you and I listen to you. They'll even say, I saw you on Fox. I've heard you on the radio. Well, either way or anyway, thank you. Thank you. And thank you. I will keep fighting for you no matter what. No matter what. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, ICE men

[Mark Levin]

and women in Ukraine, men and women

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

in Israel, men and women in Iran, and you, the American people, thank God for each and every one of you.

[Mark Levin]

Same place, same time, right here, tomorrow.

[Mark Levin's Co-host/Producer]

God bless.
