Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. May Day and the Left’s Radicalization

• Levin opens by referencing May Day (International Workers’ Day) as "the Communists’ holiday," arguing it now serves as a platform for “fascists,” “welfare recipients,” and left-wing activists (02:14).
• Quote: “It’s May Day, May 1. The Commies are out. The fascists are out. The welfare recipients are out… Not our flag, I might add. The teachers unions.” – Mark Levin (02:14)
• Suggests reclaiming the day as a conservative protest: “Tax the Democrats,” and calls for a “taxpayer strike,” satirically urging reparations from Democrats for historical wrongs. (03:06)

2. Hypocrisy of Democratic Leadership

• Levin repeatedly claims that Democrats only oppose extremists when convenient, citing selective outrage and cases where they support or tolerate radical figures within their ranks, contrasting with how they'd treat similar behavior among Republicans.
• Quote: “Any Republican like this, you wouldn’t give a crap what they went through. Look what you guys did to Kavanaugh…” – Mark Levin (15:53)
• References their treatment of Pete Hegseth’s tattoo compared to Graham Platner’s Nazi emblem. (18:12-19:18)

3. The Case of Graham Platner

• Platner, a Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, is a main focus; Levin attacks both Platner’s ideological history (describing him as a “communist,” “Nazi,” and an “oyster farmer from a wealthy family”) and the party's leaders for supporting him.
• Platner’s Nazi concentration camp tattoo is highlighted, with context provided of his time in the military and later identification as a “communist.”
• Quote: “The guy’s got emblazoned on his chest a big tattoo, not just of any Nazi, but of the concentration camp guards.” – Mark Levin (06:14)
• Levin details Platner’s rhetoric for defunding ICE and the police, redistributing wealth, and “revolutionary violence,” linking him to figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC.
• Quote: “Bernie Sanders is a Stalinist. That’s what he is. He’s a bleeding hemorrhoid on the body politic.” – Mark Levin (24:01)
• He contrasts Democrats’ excusing Platner’s extremism with how conservatives were treated for less (e.g., Hegseth’s Jerusalem cross tattoo). (22:13-23:16)
• Critique extends to Platner's background: “He attended a $75,000 per year boarding school… Nepo baby…” (65:26-69:30)

4. Media Double Standards & the Weaponization of Identity

• Levin critiques legacy media and left-leaning organizations for vilifying Christian or conservative identity symbols as “white supremacy,” while excusing or rationalizing left-wing extremism.
• Quote: “White supremacists wear that? What? The Jerusalem cross. Oh, yeah. White supremacists. Had you ever heard of that, Mr. Medusa?” – Mark Levin (25:43)
• Draws a parallel between media outrage at Pete Hegseth and indifference to Platner’s Nazi tattoo—with extensive discussion of NBC’s coverage. (22:13-25:03)

5. Extremist Rhetoric & Infiltration in U.S. Politics

• Levin expands criticism to “Islamists” and radical imams, playing clips from Imam Abdul Malik (73:01), warning about anti-assimilation rhetoric in mosques.
• “There’s a zillion of these. I just play them for you… I want you to be aware of it… we’re not teaching America, American history…” – Mark Levin (74:36)

6. Isolationism, Foreign Influence & Podcast Rivalries

• Levin accuses certain right-wing figures (Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes) of undermining the conservative movement, pandering to foreign (and anti-American) audiences, and supporting Democrats for personal gain.
• Quote: “Tucker Carlson is sold out to the enemy overseas. The Islamists. He’s grifting. That’s who he wants to attract.” – Mark Levin (29:58)
• He presents himself, Trump, Cruz, and others as consistent voices against Iran, in contrast to latecomers and “grifters” in the current landscape. (40:13, 51:45)

7. Historical Consistency: Tea Party and MAGA

• Plays archival speeches from Trump (2015) and himself at a Tea Party rally against the Iran deal to position themselves as consistently “pro-Israel, anti-Iran,” while painting the left (and opportunists in MAGA) as unprincipled. (41:24, 43:12, 47:55)
• Quote: “It’s my view that the MAGA movement is the Tea Party movement, mostly… And you and I, we’ve been together from. From day one.” – Mark Levin (45:20)

8. African American Voters and Political Trends

• Examines polling showing Republicans (specifically Trump) gaining ground among black voters historically loyal to Democrats (79:03-82:06).
• Highlights the “chipping away” of Democratic dominance and its potential impact in southern states.

9. Iran, War Powers, and Biden Administration Critique

• Strong defense of Trump’s foreign policy actions against Iran; criticizes Democrats for hypocrisy and invokes history of undeclared U.S. wars.
• Critiques War Powers Act and Congress’s attempt to constrain presidential authority—to him, an unconstitutional overreach. (99:59-101:18)

Tone and Style

Levin’s tone is confrontational, polemical, and deeply sarcastic throughout. He often employs humor, historical analogies, and personal anecdotes to deliver his critique of the Democratic Party, media, and rival right-wing commentators. He alternates between mockery and urgent warnings about the future of the country; his language is vivid (“bleeding hemorrhoid on the body politic,” “pig running for the Senate in Maine”), and he frequently uses rhetorical repetition for emphasis. The episode is punctuated by lively banter with his producer and frequent callbacks to past news events and his own longstanding positions.

---

Summary Takeaways

• Mark Levin views May Day as symbolic of the left’s embrace of socialism, communism, and illiberal radicalism.
• The episode’s central controversy is around Graham Platner, whom Levin labels an unrepentant extremist, excused or even embraced by Democratic leadership.
• Levin draws a throughline from this tolerance of extremism to a loss of principled liberalism within the Democratic Party, warning that the party now encompasses communists, fascists, and Islamists.
• He calls out media double standards and leftist hypocrisy, particularly in how symbolic gestures are interpreted based on political identity.
• The episode closes with positive polling news for conservatives and sustained criticisms of isolationist “grifters” undermining the movement from within.

[Mark Levin]

Hey folks, Mark Levin here. Before we dive into today's episode, I want to talk about my go to

[Rich]

He's here.

[Mark Levin]

He's here.

[Producer/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. Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-381100. It's May Day, May1. The Commies are out. The fascists are out. The welfare recipients are out. People on the, on the dole who are here from other countries, they're out there all marching, waving their flags. Not our flag, I might add. The teachers unions.

[Rich]

Oh, yes. Well, I want to join in on May Day, May 1, with a little bit of a different message. Tax the Democrats. Oh, yes, tax the Democrats.

[Mark Levin]

Redistribute their wealth. Make the Democrats pay reparations for what they did.

[Rich]

Slavery and segregation.

[Mark Levin]

Have my own May Day. Can you get behind this, folks? I think you can. May day, May Day, May 1st.

[Rich]

Maybe we would have a taxpayer strike.

[Mark Levin]

You know, the people who actually pay for everything actually pay taxes. I love the people who are on the take all the time.

[Rich]

They want more and more from you and me. You know what?

[Mark Levin]

Screw them. Screw them. Where do they even have time to do all this protesting because they're not working. But they're marching because they want your money. They want your private property. And if you're enormously successful, they target you even more. You're successful because you've created wealth. You didn't rob a bank. You didn't print the money. You're creating services or products that people need and want. You're contributing to society. You're creating jobs and other taxpayers. You're helping to feed families. You're the ones we really got a target. Say these loathsome good for nothing communists, totalitarians, economic socialists, AKA elected Democrats.

[Rich]

Oh, yeah, Mayday. We should take it as our own. Counter protest, counter objections and so forth. Seriously, reparations. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Democrats should pay reparations.

[Mark Levin]

They support them. They should pay him. After all, they. They did.

[Rich]

Slavery.

[Mark Levin]

The Republican Party was founded as the anti slavery party in the 1850s.

[Rich]

Oh, yeah,

[Mark Levin]

that's what I believe.

[Rich]

Plus, the Democrats shouldn't complain about any of it, should they?

[Mark Levin]

This is their ideology.

[Rich]

I mean, the Democrats are open to all kinds of people. Except patriots.

[Mark Levin]

That's right, except patriots.

[Rich]

He got this lowlife running in Maine. His name is Graham Platner.

[Mark Levin]

Just a regular guy, don't you know? Except for the fact that his father was quite wealthy and gave him a

[Rich]

lot of money to buy his first house. I don't begrudge that, but he does now.

[Mark Levin]

Weird. Take Bernie Sanders with three homes, a multimillionaire. Isn't that weird? Elizabeth Warren, a multi millionaire.

[Rich]

Pocahontas. Crazy. Crazy.

[Mark Levin]

So the guy's got emblazoned on his chest a big tattoo, not just of any Nazi,

[Rich]

but of the concentration camp guards. They're special insignia. Oh, he was really into it, you know. Says he was going through problems after he left the military. Going through problems, really? Yes, Post traumatic syndrome. And people do go through that, but most of them don't have concentration camp guard, Nazi tattoos burned into their chest, do they, Mr. Producer? No, I don't think so.

[Mark Levin]

Just a bad spell. Not a Nazi, he's a commie.

[Rich]

What?

[Mark Levin]

What?

[Rich]

What?

[Mark Levin]

That's right. At one point he said he was a communist. Nazi.

[Rich]

Communist.

[Mark Levin]

We all end up the same way, don't we? Don't we? New York City, having a blast there, aren't you?

[Rich]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Levin]

Now, when you consider how many people the Nazis killed and when you consider many people the communists have killed, this guy's for the people. Oh, yeah.

[Rich]

Just like the Nazis and the commies. For the people. For the people. He wants to redistribute wealth, tax the rich, go after the billionaires. He wants to spend day in and day out. The Democrats subpoenaing Trump, investigating Trump and the people around him. It's what they've got to do. He said, says the oyster. What is he, an oyster razor? What the hell is he? I don't know. The hell eats oysters.

[Mark Levin]

There's a.

[Rich]

Do you eat oysters, Rich? You know, there's a question that's been asked and I. I don't know the answer. Rare. I don't know the answer. Who would Be the first person to eat an oyster.

[Mark Levin]

I think that's a good question.

[Rich]

Some of you out there.

[Mark Levin]

I like oyster.

[Rich]

All right, It's a joke. Keep it to yourself.

[Mark Levin]

Graham Platner was on Ms. Now yesterday. Now, this is a guy who's backed by Schumer, even though Platner was a Jew hater and an Israel hater. But Schumer has to live with these people. You know, Chucky's concerned about his power. He wants to be the Democrat leader no matter what.

[Rich]

And he needs these bigots and racists, Nazis and Marxists, the Islamists.

[Mark Levin]

They have a big tent over there in the Democrat Party. Big tent.

[Rich]

Oh, yeah,

[Mark Levin]

here's Platner. Cut nine.

[Rich]

Go.

[Graham Platner]

Something we're gonna have to do. If we're the majority, we need to use the power we get to shut this White House down.

[Mark Levin]

Oh, so he wants to shut down the White House. Hakeem Jeffries wants to take over the Supreme Court. See how cool this is going to be?

[Rich]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Levin]

Shut down the White House and destroy the independence of the court. Turn it into a Democrat Politburo. They sound like Communists. They sound like Nazis. And yet they. They say this is for the people.

[Rich]

Which, of course, what Nazis and Communists say. You don't.

[Mark Levin]

Mark, you call everybody Nazis. No, I don't. I call Nazis Nazis. I call neo Nazis.

[Rich]

Neo Nazi.

[Mark Levin]

The guy's got it on his chest. No, look at me. It's what he's got on his chest.

[Rich]

He's gone through a bad period now. He's a communist, you see? Going through a good period now. Oh, yeah, the Democrats are all lining up behind the guy. Go ahead, we do that.

[Graham Platner]

I think one of the best ways is through committee hearings and investigations.

[Mark Levin]

I want the. Wow, this guy's got at least a

[Rich]

25 watt brain there, doesn't he, Mr. Producer? We have to do investigations through committees and so forth. Really. And, gee, nobody's expecting that. How is that going to help with affordability? Maine. We're hurt all over Maine, of course. How is that going to help with affordability?

[Mark Levin]

How is that going to help with gas prices? To have a gas bag like this? And how do any Democrats help with

[Rich]

gas prices in New England?

[Mark Levin]

They oppose drilling, they oppose refining. They oppose more electricity. And then when it's not available or the price goes through the roof, they blame capitalism.

[Rich]

Capitalism, go ahead.

[Graham Platner]

Not to function because everyone in the White House is being hauled under subpoena in front of a Senate committee day after day after day.

[Rich]

This is a man. No wonder he has that tattoo on his chest, I don't think he's changed that much. No

[Mark Levin]

more Graham Platner.

[Rich]

Cut 10. Go.

[Graham Platner]

I don't believe a single U.S. democratic senator should vote for a nominee out of the Trump administration. Moving forward, I think we need to use all of the power we have around funding and the power of the purse to stop paying for these kinds of stupid wars. Stop paying for agencies like ice. Stop paying for the things that the Trump administration is doing that are materially hurting our democracy.

[Rich]

This guy's a genius.

[Mark Levin]

US

[Rich]

Stop paying for ICE like the rest of the Democrats. We're not paying for ice. So all the criminals and would be terrorists, all the rapists. Yes. All the perverts, pedophiles, they get to stay. And we'll make them citizens so we can never remove them. That's right. We'll give them amnesty through the back door.

[Mark Levin]

And we're going to defund the police.

[Rich]

This guy's back to defunding the police.

[Mark Levin]

That'll be swell. 911 is not working. 911 is not worth. So where do your tax colleagues go? Not to the police.

[Rich]

Not the deporting criminals. No.

[Mark Levin]

Redistributing wealth to their constituents to strengthen the Democrat Party. Yeah. Isn't that cool?

[Rich]

This guy's a genius.

[Mark Levin]

Not that I would ever eat oysters, but I'd certainly never eat oysters knowing that this guy may have raised some of them.

[Rich]

You know what I mean?

[Mark Levin]

Rich,

[Rich]

bad taste.

[Mark Levin]

And stop funding stupid wars.

[Rich]

Yeah. The Democrats, now they have Islamists, neo Nazis and communists.

[Mark Levin]

And of course, what do they defend?

[Rich]

Islamists, neo Nazis and Communists.

[Mark Levin]

The regime in Iran has become a cause celeb for the Democrats and the woke. Right. Isolationists. They're the victim, we're the oppressor. Like Israel's the victim. And Hamas. Excuse me? Like Israel's the oppressor and Hamas is the victim. Got it? See how that works? Oh, yeah. The poor Iranian regime. If we had only left them alone and minded our own business.

[Rich]

Well, we did for 47 years. They were killing us, they were maiming us. They were building nuclear weapons.

[Mark Levin]

Oh, must be a warmonger. We all know America is imperialistic and colonialistic. We all know this. We all know that we. We seek to bomb elementary schools. We know that. Just like the Jews and Israel and

[Rich]

that Netanyahu man, he drags us. He's, like, controlling everything. That all happened to Maine anyway. They used to have people like Ed Muskie as Democrats. Now this flunky, this snake in the grass.

[Mark Levin]

Seriously, well, it's okay with Chris Van Holland. Chris Van Holland hates Trump. That's right. Hates the Secretary War. Hates, hates, hates.

[Rich]

But he now likes Platner. Cut 11. Go.

[Commentator/Guest]

The dude has not had a Nazi tattoo. I mean, let's be clear about what's going on here.

[Caller or Guest]

I mean, is that.

[Mark Levin]

How do you view that?

[Commentator/Guest]

I mean, I seem. That seems to be at least somewhat disqualifying and traditional, certainly historically. I mean, let's take a couple issues, including the comments he's made in the past. I mean, he's been very clear that he went into combat on behalf of the United States. He went through a really rough period,

[Rich]

and everybody comes out a Nazi.

[Mark Levin]

Everybody comes out a misogynist, saying women

[Rich]

who are raped ought to act like adults.

[Mark Levin]

Everybody. Everybody comes out of the military that way. Right?

[Guest or Caller]

Vets.

[Mark Levin]

Isn't that the way it works? Go ahead.

[Commentator/Guest]

And he is himself said there are lots of things he's done and said that he completely regrets. And I do believe people should have second chances.

[Rich]

No, you don't, you schmuck. Van Hollen, you're pathetic. You're a joke.

[Mark Levin]

Any Republican like this.

[Rich]

First of all, we don't nominate Republicans like this.

[Mark Levin]

But any Republican like this, you wouldn't

[Rich]

give a crap what they went through.

[Mark Levin]

Look what you guys did to Kavanaugh. He didn't even do anything. He didn't even have the goods on the guy. Here you have a. A real neo Nazi now. A commie now that he's going through your hand, you know, And I'm not a neo Nazi. I'm more a communist. Oh, okay. Very good. And Van Hollen defends him. Bernie Sanders champions him. Schumer defends him. Gillibrand defends him. Other than Fetterman. Name one Democrat that rejects this guy. Name one other than Fetterman.

[Rich]

You can't. You Democrats out there, you proud? I'll be right back.

[Caller or Guest]

Foreign.

[Rich]

I want to share two stories.

[Mark Levin]

It seems the mainstream media hasn't connected. Story one, the US Treasury's own 2025 financial report. It shows $6 trillion in assets and 47 trillion in liabilities. You know, that's a negative net worth over $41 trillion. Since 2021, gold prices have gone up like the US debt has gone up and they moved to near lockstep. The market already knows. Story 2. In 20, 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. Call Monetary Gold at 877-now-Gold or visit marklovesgold.com for your free gold and silver guide. That's 8-77-now-Gold or visit Mark loves Gold.com performance may vary. You should always consult your financial and tax professional. You remember when Pete Hegseth was taking over the hot coals because he had

[Rich]

a tattoo, but nothing like Graham Platner's tattoo. And the same Democrats who are defending Graham Platner and his tattoo are attacking or had attacked Hegseth.

[Mark Levin]

Time and time again we point out

[Rich]

what a bunch of hypocrites, what a bunch of liars these Democrats are. How the standards change completely.

[Mark Levin]

Heg says tattoo had nothing to do

[Rich]

with Hitler or any of that sort of thing.

[Mark Levin]

Nothing. But they went after him anyway. They tried to use it to stop

[Rich]

him from getting the nomination or the confirmation.

[Mark Levin]

And NBC News was there to report it. All the news outlets were there to report it.

[Rich]

And when we come back, I want

[Mark Levin]

you to hear it because they're not saying the same about old Graham and his concentration camp Nazi guard tattoo. He's very particular, the man. He's very design oriented. He wanted that tattoo. Not just a general Nazi tattoo.

[Rich]

Come on.

[Mark Levin]

He wanted that concentration camp tattoo. I'll be right back. 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 20 gold prices have tracked US debt almost perfectly. Fact 2 in 2025, global gold demand crossed 5,000 tons for the first time in history. Investment demand jumped 84% and mine production rose just 1%. When governments print their way through insolvency, paper weakens and often real assets rise. This is why people call monetary gold

[Rich]

the best of the best.

[Donald Trump]

Talk with that voice now. 877-381-3811.

[Rich]

How are you on this Friday evening?

[Mark Levin]

So forget about Graham Platner most of

[Rich]

us never heard of before. The Democrats want to control the Senate and they'll control it no matter what.

[Mark Levin]

That's their view. They'll do whatever they have to do.

[Rich]

Poor guy Platner, you know, he served in the military and he went, nazi military will do that to people. We hate our military, don't we, America?

[Mark Levin]

These are Democrats.

[Rich]

You know how they think? Oh, yeah, yeah. We can understand why. I mean, you know, remember when they

[Mark Levin]

used to call the president a Nazi? And all of us Nazis. Oh, look at all the Nazis gathered there. And so. Well, I have a real one here. And they make excuses. Now he's a commie. Now he's a.

[Rich]

You know.

[Mark Levin]

Well, maybe you'd put on the other tattoo, the hammer and the sickle. Put them right next to each other. Then the Democrats will be absolutely orgasmic over the guy.

[Rich]

What?

[Mark Levin]

Oh, yeah.

[Rich]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Levin]

NBC News, January 2025. They were very upset, the left, about Pete Hegset's tattoo, which, as Hagsett had mentioned, is essentially the same tattoo, the Jerusalem cross, that Jimmy Carter had at his.

[Rich]

At a ceremony at the National Cathedral. Go ahead.

[Reporter or Commentator]

The hearing. Also putting a focus on allegations of controversial aspects of his faith. Called out by protesters.

[Mark Levin]

Security.

[Reporter or Commentator]

Much of the outrage fueled by his tattoos, which include a symbol known as the Jerusalem cross on his chest. Another saying, deus vault, Latin for God wills it. And a common battle.

[Mark Levin]

Hold on, wait.

[Rich]

A Jerusalem cross and God wills it. Have you ever heard anything so outrageous, Mr. Reducer?

[Mark Levin]

I mean, ladies and gentlemen, if I had only known. The Jerusalem cross. Oh, good Lord, how horrific. And God wills it in Latin. Oh, my Lord. This guy. Platinum. And we got right here.

[Rich]

Special tattoo.

[Mark Levin]

Special one. We're giving you the same tattoo that

[Rich]

was the insignia for the concentration camp guards during the Holocaust in the Third Reich.

[Mark Levin]

I like that one. Yeah, I'll put on that one. Yeah, yeah. Then he runs for office and somebody

[Rich]

says, you know, he's got this Nazi.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, well, it was tough. I had to go through the military. It was very tough. And everybody knows after your experience in the military, you immediately start getting Nazi tattoos. So basically, he's putting down the military, and then he defends himself. Now he's a communist, so of course the Democrats take a liking to him.

[Rich]

Oh, Communist.

[Mark Levin]

Bernie goes right for him like Bernie went for Mondami. Bernie Sanders is a Stalinist. That's what he is. He's a bleeding hemorrhoid on the body politic.

[Rich]

Yep. Go ahead, please.

[Commentator/Guest]

And that people can.

[Reporter or Commentator]

The religious wars led by Catholics to convert Muslims a millennium ago. Those symbols also used by groups that associate with Christian Identity. The Southern Poverty Law center, which.

[Mark Levin]

Wait a minute. Christian identity. Can't have that. Groups that associate with Christian identity. No, you can't do that. And the Southern Poverty Law center is all upset about. Now we know how corrupt that was. NBC got the whole.

[Rich]

Wait a minute. He had a Jerusalem cross.

[Mark Levin]

Identified

[Rich]

as a Christian.

[Mark Levin]

A pro Christian tattoo. What? He had that. And God wills it.

[Rich]

Oh, my Lord.

[Mark Levin]

What the hell? And he's the. He's the Secretary of War.

[Rich]

This guy has a Nazi tattoo. Well, you know, boys will be boys.

[Mark Levin]

Go ahead.

[Reporter or Commentator]

Groups defines that as an anti Semitic, racist theology that asserts white people are favored by God in the Bible. That includes.

[Mark Levin]

So says what? The Southern Poverty Law Center. And that was good enough for NBC

[Rich]

News and their reporter.

[Mark Levin]

Yes. White supremacists wear that. What? The Jerusalem cross. Oh, yeah. White supremacists. Had you ever heard of that, Mr. Medusa?

[Rich]

Nobody ever heard of that. Nobody. Nobody. They rally around this pig who's running for the Senate in Maine.

[Mark Levin]

Pig.

[Guest or Caller]

That's right.

[Mark Levin]

I said it. Pig. Every excuse in the book. Every excuse in the book. Go ahead.

[Reporter or Commentator]

List and pro Confederate groups among those in full force during the January 6th Capitol attack.

[Mark Levin]

They tied them to the Confederacy. White supremacists. The January 6th attack.

[Guest or Caller]

That Jerusalem cross, man, that's got a

[Mark Levin]

lot of symbolism to it. I thought it was just a Christian symbol of faith now. You don't understand. No, I don't.

[Rich]

I really don't.

[Mark Levin]

Oh, yeah, White supremacy. The klan.

[Rich]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Levin]

January 6th, guys got the Nazi concentration camps.

[Rich]

Well, what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

[Mark Levin]

We need another vote in the Senate.

[Rich]

We need this guy. You think I should endorse Susan Collins? Would that help her or hurt her, Mr. Producer?

[Mark Levin]

I wonder if we should ask. Wouldn't that be funny? I endorse Susan Collins.

[Rich]

And Maine.

[Mark Levin]

Oh, my God.

[Guest or Caller]

That right winger Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Jew endorses Collins. But here we have Graham Platner with a Nazi symbol on his chest. Good man, good man, good man.

[Rich]

People are nuts.

[Mark Levin]

Go ahead. That's it.

[Rich]

I wasn't finished. Yeah, it's unbelievable. While I'm on the subject. While I'm on the subject. Mehdi Hassan. Like this guy Hassan, piker. Everybody's named Hassan. I guess it's like Smith in the Anglo world, I suppose. Mehdi Hassan is on a podcast yesterday. This guy is a racist, a bigot, a Jew hater, a Christian hater, American hater. So of course we welcomed him into our country. We don't have enough of that. I want you to listen to this guy.

[Mark Levin]

Cut 14.

[Rich]

Excuse me.

[Mark Levin]

Cut 14.

[Rich]

Go.

[Mehdi Hassan]

These days, Tucker Carlson has a big fan base amongst the anti war left who see him as saying the right stuff, trying to stop Trump from illegal wars in Iran, and amongst a lot of Muslims and Arab Americans who see him now as this great champion of Palestine. Wherever I go, literally has. Wherever I go in this country, I do a lot of live events, I do a lot of public events. People come up to me, when are you going on Tucker Carlson?

[Donald Trump]

When are you going to do an

[Mehdi Hassan]

event with Tuck Carlson? Why don't you do a collab with Tuck Carlson? We love Tucker Carlson. Wherever I go, people ask me more about Tucker Carlson even in my own family than they ask me about my wife and kid.

[Rich]

Well, maybe they hate. You can see why and what this guy's done and he doesn't even realize he's revealed the real Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson's audience is increasingly overseas, increasingly American haters, Christian haters, Jew haters, increasingly Islamists. Not the people who live under the brutal police state of Islamists. Islamists. He's texted with the enemy in Iran.

[Mark Levin]

He put out a video to that

[Rich]

extent, but he won't release the texts. He says things about our president and

[Mark Levin]

our country that are used by the

[Rich]

enemy, whether it's in Iran or Qatar or Russia,

[Mark Levin]

on state run broadcast platforms. He's constantly trashing our military now our military operation.

[Rich]

Constantly, Constantly. Tucker Carlson is sold out to the enemy. He sold out to the enemy overseas. The Islamists. He's grifting. That's who he wants to attract. He knows the American people. The vast majority of conservatives and maga, former Tea Party and current Tea Party Trump supporters, Republicans want nothing to do with them, are completely turned off by this thug.

[Mark Levin]

But Mehdi Hassan,

[Rich]

one of the most

[Mark Levin]

platformed, hate America, hate Christian, hate Jews, hate Israel, hate America's founding and all the rest of it.

[Rich]

The people he hangs out with, they love Tucker, Love them. I just hope people are getting the message here now. There's also a reason why Fuentes now is telling the gropers another guy which has massive percentage of his audience overseas and a big percentage of that percentage in Pakistan. It's amazing.

[Mark Levin]

It's amazing.

[Rich]

These frauds with their numbers, these, these podcast are frauds with their numbers. It's not Americans who are propping them up.

[Mark Levin]

It's aliens, foreigners, people who hate us who are propping them up. That's why they say what they say. Why do you think they say what they say? Because they're trying to appeal to patriots

[Rich]

no, of course not.

[Mark Levin]

So that's why Fuentes and the gropers. He's telling his gropers to vote Democrat. That's why Katarlson and the rest of that cabal are rooting for the Democrats to win so they can say she told you so. You got to follow us. We know what we're doing.

[Rich]

They want to blame it on Trump or people like me, when it is they who are destructive and they who are undermining the Republican Party, the conservative movement and maga. That's just the truth. I'll be right back,

[Caller or Guest]

foreign.

[Mark Levin]

Folks. Mark Levin here with exciting news on launch of our third season of on the Front Lines, my original podcast series in partnership with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Now this season's premiere episode, faith and Fellowship in a Changing World, confronts the moment we're living in right now, a world shaken by escalating conflict, rising antisemitism and a growing effort to push faith out of public life. Joining me once again is Yahiel Ekt, 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. So if you're a hard working individual,

[Rich]

you love our country, then why are you a registered Democrat when they're bringing in communists, Nazis and Islamists? Why? How many more chances do they get? You look at Mondami already. What's he three months in? He's not even three months in, is he? Maybe three months. It's a disaster already. Look at London. Look parts of Britain. It's a third world. It's a disaster. Attacking the cops in our country when we need them now more than ever.

[Mark Levin]

And more of them now more than ever. Seriously.

[Rich]

And ice, this concentrated war against ICE

[Mark Levin]

by the Democrat Party and their surrogate groups. It's funny, they never talk about Democrat billionaires, do they get the billionaires just don't get Soros. Just don't get that billionaire in communist China. That's one of our guys.

[Rich]

They don't hate billionaires. They just hate certain billionaires. Other billionaires subsidize them.

[Mark Levin]

It's like the Democrats with the Voting

[Rich]

Rights act that we talked about yesterday.

[Mark Levin]

They don't want all blacks to win. If you're a black Republican or you're a black conservative, they will fight tooth and nail to make sure you don't advance. You're not in Congress, you don't get a job in the executive branch. We know this because we've seen it

[Rich]

doesn't matter.

[Mark Levin]

They will do everything they can to destroy you. They don't care about blacks. They care about liberal Democrats who are black. Running around calling Trump and Trump supporters Nazis when they're now embracing one for the U.S. senate. Not anymore, though. Not since he's decided to run. No. Now he's a communist, so that's more acceptable in the Democrat Party. But whatever works. Whatever works. This is why the Democrat Party is dead. It's been devoured by the Marxists, the Islamists, the neo Nazis. This is why. Because they don't fight these people in any effective way. They embrace them because they figure now they run New York, now they want to get a majority in the Senate. And do what? What is the Democrat Party agenda for reducing costs nationwide? What is it? What is it, Mr. Call Screener. Leave one line open. Okay? Just one. I want a Democrat to call me and tell me what is the national Democrat policy for lowering food prices, housing prices, energy prices? What is it?

[Rich]

I can't wait for this.

[Mark Levin]

Especially when they rose all the prices. They rose them all.

[Rich]

I guess increase them all sounds better.

[Mark Levin]

But they increased all of them. Inflation and all around. What's the Democrat Party policy for reducing inflation that they created? What is it? And Mandami? You support Mondami? Well, all of a sudden he's hit in the face with reality, isn't he? I always knew he was a dumb bastard. I said he was from day one.

[Rich]

That was not a nice word. I didn't mean to call him dumb. Mr. Producer

[Mark Levin]

Bastard.

[Rich]

Yes. Oh, yes. Unbelievable.

[Mark Levin]

Don't forget, this week in Life, Liberty and Levin, 8pm Eastern Time, tomorrow night and Sunday night, two really, really great brand new big shows. I'll be right back.

[Rich]

He's here.

[Producer/Announcer]

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

[Mark Levin]

Hello, American Mark.

[Rich]

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

[Mark Levin]

You know, I realized the first time

[Rich]

I met Donald Trump was September 2015. September 2015. And there were thousands of us on the Capitol lawn legally. And we had a amassed this group, Jenny Beth Martin and others, Tea Party Patriots to oppose the Obama Iran nuclear deal. You see, ladies and gentlemen, this has been my position since day one. It's been the position of the conservative movement, the Tea Party since day one. It's been the position

[Mark Levin]

of would be

[Rich]

president Donald Trump since day one. And I spoke at that event, as did others, including Donald Trump. First time I met him. Couldn't have been nicer. I want you to hear some of what the President said before he was President on September 9, 2015 at the tea Party rally.

[Mark Levin]

The Tea Party Patriots

[Rich]

fighting hard this Iran nuclear deal. And I want you to keep something in mind. Tucker Carlson was nowhere in sight. Megyn Kelly was nowhere in sight. Nick Fuentes was wearing diapers. Steve Bannon was nowhere in sight. Matt Gaetz, you know, very busy in Florida doing what Matt Gaetz gets in trouble for, I guess. But the fact of the matter is

[Mark Levin]

all these so called MAGA people,

[Rich]

all these opinion leaders, all these influencers, none of them were there.

[Mark Levin]

Zero.

[Rich]

You're talking to somebody that's been part of the conservative movement for decades. Decades. Which is why these frauds and phonies who've sold out to foreign interests are selling out to the Democrat Party. I will continue to confront them. Here's President Trump before he's President Trump. September 9, 2015, the Tea Party rally on Capitol Hill. Cut one go.

[Donald Trump (2015 speech)]

They rip us off, they take our money, they make us look like fools. And now they're back to being who they really are. They don't want Israel to survive. They will not let Israel survive with incompetent leadership like we have right now. Israel will not survive. And then when it's all done, or they think it's all done, they come out with these unbelievable, nasty statements that Israel won't be around in 25 years and that we have no dealings and we will have no further dealings with the United States. Now the people that we were negotiating with and we're working on the sanctions with, including and as an example, Russia, who's selling tremendous missiles to Iran, you know that ballistic missiles being sold, all of these countries, all of these countries are going to do business with Iran. They're going to make lots of money and lots of other things with Iran. And we're going to do and. And we're going to get nothing.

[Rich]

Nothing.

[Donald Trump (2015 speech)]

We are led by very, very stupid people. Very, very stupid people. We cannot let it continue. We are a country that owes $19 trillion. We lose everywhere. We lose militarily. We can't beat ISIS. Give me a break. We can't beat anybody. Our vets are being treated horribly. It will change. We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning. Believe me.

[Rich]

Unbelievably great. Cut to go.

[Guest or Caller]

We're here to tell the world that we.

[Rich]

Wait a minute.

[Mark Levin]

This is me.

[Rich]

I didn't realize it. All right, start at the top. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

[Guest or Caller]

We're here to tell the world that we, the American people, reject the cowardice and surrender by our government to the genocidal terror regime in Iran. We are here to tell the world that we, the American people, are more resolute than ever. We are more resolute than ever to destroy those who threaten a wage war against us, our society, and our ally, Israel. This enemy makes a grave error in confusing the appeasement of a president and a Democrat party and the capitulation of a Republican Congress with the strength and fortitude of the American people. Never before, as a president of the United States. Never before has a political party consented to funding and arming the enemy. Never before has a president entered into agreements with a terrorist regime that holds Americans hostages, that has killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers, and that seeks nuclear weapons and ICBMs to attack his own country. Barack Obama makes Neville Chamberlain look like George S. Patton.

[Rich]

I'm playing this so you can see the consistency with the president, the consistency with the conservative movement, Tea Party movement, my consistency, of course. And then you can also measure it against some of these podcasters and phony influencers, the isolationists who were never part of anything we've ever stood for, including the election of the president. I've told you before, it's my view that the MAGA movement is the Tea Party movement, mostly, that that's what it is, and we've never changed. And you and I, we've been together from. From day one. Cut three, Go.

[Guest or Caller]

Let me warn the seventh century throwbacks who like to chant Death to America in their home country. We Americans have been threatened better by.

[Mark Levin]

Better than you.

[Guest or Caller]

We American Americans have been threatened by forces far stronger than you.

[Mark Levin]

And we've obliterated. Every damn one of them.

[Guest or Caller]

The american people do not stir quickly.

[Mark Levin]

Usa. Usa.

[Rich]

Usa.

[Mark Levin]

Usa. U.s.a. usa. Usa. Usa.

[Guest or Caller]

And so they can hear us in tehran.

[Mark Levin]

The american people do not stir quickly. But when we do stir, you will regret it.

[Guest or Caller]

Tell the Republicans in Congress it's time to step up, enforce the Constitution and stop this fraudulent deal. And God bless you and God bless America.

[Rich]

September 9, 2015. That's right. Ten and a half years ago, the Capitol Hill grounds. Donald Trump, Tea Party Patriots. Thousands and thousands. And there were others too, like Ron DeSantis. Cut four goes.

[Ted Cruz]

And I'm sick and tired of this administration treating the Ayatollah in Iran better than it treats the Prime Minister of Israel. Everyone has made great points about the billions of dollars Iran gets in this deal, about them having a path paved to a bomb. But let me tell you one main reason why I oppose it. I served in Iraq in 2007 and, And we were in a Sunni dominated area and that took up a lot of the news. But what I noticed in a lot of these intelligence reports was the number one source of death for our service members was not from Al Qaeda in Iraq, not from Sunni insurgents. It was from Iranian backed groups killing our soldiers with Iranian made bombs. And this, this deal not only gives them the billions, not only allows them a path to the bomb, it actually lifts sanctions off the people who perpetrated those attacks, Qasem Soleimani and the Quds Force. That is a gratuitous insult to the lives and memories of the people that I serve with and that have sacrificed on our behalf. So we'll defeat, do everything we can to defeat the deal. Because Iran is an enemy. They cannot be trusted with nukes. They don't need 150 billion. But we're not going to rub salt in the wounds of the families who lost loved ones at the hands of Qasem Soleimani and the Quds Force. Thank you. God bless you.

[Rich]

There were other great speeches by, among others, Ted Cruz at the time as well. Ted Cruz, none of us, Donald Trump, ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, me. Have changed our positions. None of us. The President deserves our support. Our support. I'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

[Rich]

You know folks, I thought it was important to play that. Maybe I'll play more next week with Ted Cruz and others. It's been a principled core position of the Tea Party, of we conservatives, of maga, of the President of the United States. It's been our principled core position to

[Mark Levin]

prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, to oppose the Obama deal and help liberate the people there. That's been our position for well over a decade. And when that that protest was done, we moved into the Capitol building peacefully, civilly, and we lobbied against the Obama nuclear deal. It's important to remember this. We have people who claim that they're maga, that they were the first to manga, that they elected the president. Not one of them, not one has ever been involved in the Tea Party movement, the conservative movement. Not one of them ever organized anything. Not one of them. They hooked onto the president once he became president in his first term, they hooked onto him in the second election and the third election. But they're not responsible for him being president. They had nothing to do with it. And so these are outsiders, most of them. Broadcasters, comics, phony entertainers, punks like Fuentes. Still pre pubescent but a teenager at the time. They had nothing to do with building this movement. Nothing. Zero. They're grifters. And now they're stabbing the President in the back, every damn one of them. Now they want him to fail. They're isolationists, they've sold out to the Democrat Party, they have sold out to foreign governments, they have sold out to foreign viewers, places like Pakistan and other places who love their rants against America, who love their rants against the President, their rants against conservatives, their rants against Our military state run media in Iran, in Qatar and Saudi Arabia and Russia. Play them. Play what they say about our country and our President. These are evil people.

[Rich]

Evil to the core

[Mark Levin]

of course.

[Rich]

The New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, Axios Media.

[Mark Levin]

Of course. They promote them to do damage because they want us to lose the midterm elections. So does the woke. Right. Isolationist neo fascists. They want us to lose too. They want to burn down the Republican Party. Burn down the MAGA movement. Burn down the conservative movement. You want to know why? Because they're not responsible for any of it. They're freeloaders. Freeloaders. They haven't written anything. They haven't organized anything. They appear at other people's events. Whether it's turking Turning Point USA or the Republican National Convention. They appear at other people's events. They're not responsible for any events. They haven't built this movement, the conservative movement, the Tea Party movement and now maga.

[Rich]

Crazy.

[Mark Levin]

Then they deign to lecture us about what we are supposed to believe, What we are supposed to believe. And they belittle us the way Hillary Clinton belittled us. They belittle us the way the Democrats belittle us. Now you are stupid. Now you are a neocon. Now you are a warmonger. All of you. There's something wrong with you. Not them. Not with their UFOs and their demons.

[Rich]

No, no, no.

[Mark Levin]

It's you. It's me, Mr. Mrs. America. Something wrong with us.

[Rich]

You see

[Mark Levin]

how many of them have come out against this guy Graham Platner today? None of them.

[Rich]

None of them.

[Mark Levin]

Why?

[Rich]

Why is that?

[Mark Levin]

And they attack you, my audience and other audiences that are in radio and TV. They belittle you. They act like you don't exist.

[Rich]

14 million of you.

[Mark Levin]

They act like you don't ex. They dismiss you as boomers. Of course they wouldn't have a pot to pee in if it wasn't for their parents and their grandparents. They wouldn't have a country to live in if it wasn't for their parents or grandparents. But they're smarter, you see. And here you have middle aged frauds and phonies going through their own middle age crisis trying to act like these, like these individuals.

[Rich]

It's important to know and to remember

[Mark Levin]

our own history as patriots. American patriots. We don't push Sharia law, we don't push Qatar, we don't push Russia. In Iran, we push America. I'll be right back.

There is no middle ground. Talk with Mark levin now at 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

Welcome back America

[Rich]

New York Post. Let's see here by David Harsan. He's really excellent writer. Democrats, Leftist takeovers, complete with Graham Plantner's rise in Maine U.S. senate race no, I'm not giving this up right now. This is too important. Governor Janet Mills of Maine has suspended her U.S. senate campaign after failing to raise enough money to compete in the coming Democratic primary with socialist Graham Platner. He's not a socialist. Not anymore. He's a Marxist. He was a Nazi. He will now almost certainly face the perpetual centrist Republican Susan Collins in the general election.

[Mark Levin]

Senate Minard leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic

[Rich]

Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairwoman Kirsten Gillibrand immediately

[Mark Levin]

back Planter proving there is virtually nothing a leftist can say or do that is disqualifying in today's Democrat Party.

[Rich]

It's so true. So true.

[Mark Levin]

So for 20 years you've had a Totenkopf skull and crossbones tattoo.

[Rich]

That's what I'm talking about. That, that Nazi concentration camp guard tattoo.

[Mark Levin]

The paramilitary organization that led, plan and executed the Holocaust. No problem. No problem. You'd think that picking this symbol out of all the symbols that exist in the entire world would be an issue. Not for Schumer, self styled defender of Jewish interests and author the 2025 book Antisemitism in America, A warning. In keeping with his tattoos message, Planter has also praised the Islamic supremacists of Hamas, a massive terrorist organization, which, let's face it, is not exactly extraordinary among progressives these days. How about boosting social media posts by neo Nazi Holocaust deniers like Stu Peters? Oh, but he just gone through a phase. The military did it to him. Does Schumer care that Platner is a self described longtime fan, an obsequious podcast guest of Jew heading conspiracy theorist Nate Kona Chamia or whatever the hell the guy's name is? So there's another one? Apparently not. Does it matter to Schumer that the candidate also referred to himself as a communist? No. Clearly the stigma of that word is fading quickly on the contemporary left. Some Democrats laugh at the notion that Platner could be both a communist and a Nazi, even though the two ideologies are in many respects quite similar. And this communist has also endorsed, quote, revolutionary violence, unquote. And I want to remind you that he is backed strongly by aoc, by Bernie Sanders. These are people who are now way out of the closet, coming off the third attempted assassination of the President by a would be killer who embraced rhetoric virtually indistinguishable from Grand Platners. You might think a major political party would be concerned about endorsing violent comments. Not Schumer, who to be fair, once threatened Supreme Court justices if they ruled against his partisan wishes. We played that yesterday.

[Rich]

That's right.

[Mark Levin]

What if a Democratic candidate for the Senate referred to rural white people as racist and stupid? Well, he did. Not long ago that might have posed a small crisis for the national party, especially in states like Maine, which as it turns out is perhaps the whitest state in the country and home to lots of rural Americans. But that's what he said. Platinum, who plays a working class oyster farmer, is the Nepo baby of a former assistant district attorney and major Democratic donor. He attended a $75,000 per year Connecticut boarding school, but don't worry, he just raised oysters. Which is to say, if Democrats fall for his shtick, they may or may not be racist, but they definitely stupid. Listen, everyone makes mistakes. Though perhaps mistakes less drastic than permanently inking Nazi imagery on your chest. Planter keeps apologizing for every now, excuse me, for every new comment that pops up. And there will almost certainly be more. As a man who has shown terrible temperament and judgment, little intelligence and no perceptible skill, the right choice to serve in the most deliberative body in the United States. Schumer says yes. A few years back then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed the influence of socialists like Alexandria. Ocasio Cortez is largely irrelevant, saying their influence extended to like five people. Ever since, Democrats have abated the rise of the unhinged left at every turn, from communists to cultural wackos and even those preaching revolutionary violence. The Democrat Party has become such a big tent these days. That unapologetic terrorist shilling communist Hasan Piker, who tells his millions of followers to soak the streets in capitalist blood, who celebrates 9 11. He's been invited into the movement by popular personalities on the mainstream left like Ezra Klein and John Farrow. Unsurprising coming from fans of Mayor Zorhan Mandami, a devotee of globalizing the intifada, or rather the global violent targeting of Jews.

[Rich]

Just look at what we're dealing with here, America.

[Mark Levin]

And people are acting like it's okay.

[Rich]

We're endorsing it as the Democrat Party media is endorsing it. The woke right isolationists are endorsing it.

[Mark Levin]

These positions, it seems, only lift your

[Rich]

stock on the contemporary left.

[Mark Levin]

Ocasio Cortez is quietly becoming a centrist in her party. And at this point, what could a progressive say to be shunned by Democrats? What sin could precipitate the party's abandonment? It's difficult to think of anything. And please don't. Don't bring up former California juvenile candidate

[Rich]

Eric Swalwell, now dealing with multiple accusations of sexual assault and rape.

[Mark Levin]

Democrats lose nothing by dropping a primary

[Rich]

candidate in a deep blue state. Come to think of it, the only

[Mark Levin]

offense that could possibly conceivably turn the progressive left against a Democrat is openly

[Rich]

supporting Israel, as Senator John Fetterman has learned otherwise.

[Mark Levin]

You're good.

[Rich]

David Harsiny is right. The Democrat Party is an evil party that is sabotaging our country.

[Mark Levin]

You know, at least we police that

[Rich]

kind of element on our quote unquote side. Now, last May, nobody was policing it except me. I'm just being honest. And now we have others and I'm very grateful for it.

[Mark Levin]

But it was lonely, a long time.

[Rich]

And you folks were with me. And I'll never forget it.

[Mark Levin]

You and my audience,

[Rich]

you were with me. And I will never forget it. Over at the Washington Free Beacon, they have an important piece too. Working class Mainer Graham Platner at 200,000

[Mark Levin]

from his father to buy his house.

[Rich]

Records show he now claims he relied on veterans benefits. I don't mind if he Got money from his father, but now he's lying about it and claiming he got it from veterans benefits.

[Mark Levin]

You see, he's trying to paint himself as.

[Rich]

No, I'm not a Nazi. No, no, not a communist. No, no, no, no, I don't believe in violent revolution.

[Mark Levin]

No, I was going through a phase there, you know, after I served in the military. All those guys, you know, were kind of nuts. After he came out of the military.

[Rich]

Look how he's demeaning the military.

[Mark Levin]

No, no, no. I got that money from the VA.

[Rich]

But he didn't get the VA money. In 2017, Democratic Senate candidate writes the Free Beacon, who's casting himself on the

[Mark Levin]

campaign trail's working class Mariner, Mainer, I should say, received a $200,000 loan from his father, prominent local attorney, to finance his home property. Records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show Platner has since said he couldn't have made the purchase without the support of the va, though he didn't take advantage of the government backed mortgages available to service members, according to the records. So he's a liar on top of

[Rich]

everything else, which we already knew.

[Mark Levin]

Platner's mortgage record dated June 30, 2017 shows that he secured payment of $200,000 from his father, Bronson Platner, to finance the property. Likely covered the entire purchase price of the four bedroom house near the water

[Rich]

in the main town of Sullivan, which

[Mark Levin]

sits at the gateway of Acadia National Park.

[Rich]

I've been in that park. That is a beautiful park, by the way. Many decades ago, the home's tax assessed

[Mark Levin]

value in 2017 was 164,000. Record show the mortgage record refers to a promissory note, a written legal agreement in which a borrower agrees to repay

[Rich]

a lender the certain time frame between

[Mark Levin]

Platner and his father. It also includes an attached document describing the house where Platner still resides. Enlisting the sellers who transferred the home to Platner through a deed that was

[Rich]

recorded on the same day.

[Mark Levin]

A county assessor told the Free Beacon the property referenced on the deed matches Platner's address.

[Rich]

So it's from his father. His father gave him a house.

[Mark Levin]

But he won't just say, yeah, my

[Rich]

father gave me a house. He's a great man. No, no, the VA gave him the house. You see, that's a better story. Lie, Nazi, communist, violent revolution.

[Mark Levin]

Things he has said about women. Women who are raped, they need to. They need to act like adults. It's okay with the Democrat Party, it's just Unbelievable to me how low that party has sunk. They're defending the Iranian regime. Oh, no, they're not. Sure they are. Sure they are. They're not backing the president, our military, our country. They're giving aid and comfort to the enemy. So this is the guy the Democrats are behind in the state of Maine.

[Rich]

Mm. Can you imagine a Republican running like this? No, that's not gonna happen, Right? That's not going to happen. So the Democrats now have Nick Fuentes, lowlife. Grant Platner, lowlife. Hassan Piker, lowlife. They effectively have Tucker Carlson, who's trying to sabotage the Republican Party in the Trump presidency. Lowlife. And the others that follow in his trails, their low lives, too. I'll be right back.

Our [e-mail] M E MRI.org I told

[Rich]

you books, you know, bookmark that site. Very important. Well, they found him. You've got these imams all over our country brainwashing people to overthrow our country. Listen to this guy. Cut eight. Go.

[Imam Abdul Malik]

Now that the people of America are standing for you, will you share with them the lights and the beauty and the majesty of Islam, or will you stay in hiding? Tell the young people to continue to see study, to prepare themselves to become the doctors, the lawyers, the engineers, to become the mayor, the police chief, the leaders of Congress and those that were born in America. Prepare yourself to be America's next president. Share with the people of Minnesota the words of the Quran, the wisdom of the prophet, and the beauty of our community, because this is your moment of grace. You have to make up your mind today, as Muslims in Minnesota, what is your position in defending the lives and the future of your people? Nobody asks you to be violent. You don't have to be violent. Your weapon is your faith. Your strength is your unity. And you must quickly engage the American people, especially the people of Minnesota. We just elected a Muslim to be the mayor of New York. That's the home of nine, 11 and those that are in opposition to Islam. They are watching the growth and the development of the Muslim community, and it scares them. You know why? Not because you're a threat.

[Rich]

No.

[Imam Abdul Malik]

They think you're about to replace those of privilege, of the days of old. They see the Muslims as their replacement. And to be honest with you, we are their replacement. We are, as they would say, the new kids on the block. And this is our moment not to

[Rich]

assimilate, not to live and let live, but to replace us. There's a zillion of these. I just play them for you from time to time because I want you to be aware of it. But there's a ton of this going on every day, especially on the weekends, what we're trying to teach about our country and assimilation. It's very hard to compete with this as a faith argument, as a preaching argument. And even our schools are not teaching America, American history, Americanism, patriotism. We're not teaching. We're the most radical teachers union to face the earth.

[Mark Levin]

Power hour's next.

[Rich]

I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

life when sleep stops being optional. And for a long time, you're running on fumes, taking care of work, kids, and relationships. But eventually you realize that how you sleep affects everything. Your energy, your mood, your focus, your overall health.

[Mark Levin]

At some point, you stop chasing trends

[Rich]

So plenty of platforms for your viewing and listening pleasure. And we dig in. And I believe ideas matter. I believe communication matters. And so I'm with you.

You can listen to it while you're in the car in a truck, if you take a long walk, you take a jog or just if you're sitting in your den or in your family room or in the basement, it's a wonderful opportunity to catch up, you know, I think so. Harry Eaton, the legal, excuse me, the polling analyst over at the Constipated News Network yesterday had some interesting news I

[Mark Levin]

thought you might want to hear. Cut 17, Mr. Producer, go.

[Polling Analyst]

Yeah, I think what we're seeing right now in the numbers is President Trump and the Republican Party are chipping away at the long term advantage that Democrats have had with black voters, with African Americans. You can see it right here. Look, Trump's approval among African Americans at this point in term one, he was at 12%. You know, he's been losing ground with a lot of it. He's gaining, he's gaining ground with African Americans. He's up to 16% at this point. And you say this isn't that big of a shift, but I will tell you, Republicans absolutely love this shift that's going on because Democrats have had such a long term advantage. The fact that he's actually gaining ground versus where he was in term number number one. This has major implications for elections down the line because Democrats, especially in a lot of these tight races, you talk about places like Georgia, right down in the south, you see this type of movement for Trump actually gaining ground. This could have major ramifications and could help put Republicans over the top in a number of southern places in the midterm elections.

[Reporter or Commentator]

But do you see this as part of a bigger trend?

[Polling Analyst]

I see this as absolutely part of a bigger trend. Donald Trump's Republican Party is absolutely gaining ground. Not just him gaining in terms of his approval rating, but look at the party ID margin, Kate, because this to me was absolutely stunning. Look at this party ID margin among African Americans at this point in Trump term. Number one, Democrats had a 63 point advantage. That has absolutely fallen. Look at where it is now, a double digit shift away. Democrats, of course, still have the advantage, but it's a 12 point shift to the Republican Party. And I look back through Gallup's records, they sent me their records and this in fact lead that Democrats have is actually smaller than any lead from 2006 to 2021. So Democrats are leading, but again, we're talking about chipping away. Republicans are chipping away at this long term advantage that Democrats have had among African Americans. We see it in terms of Trump's approval rating and we even see it to a wider degree among the party ID margin, where all of a sudden there are a number of African Americans Republicans who are walking away from the Democratic Party and a number of them who are walking into the Republican tent.

[Reporter or Commentator]

That is very interesting looking at that pascalup information.

[Imam Abdul Malik]

Yeah.

[Mark Levin]

What does this mean for the race for control in Congress?

[Polling Analyst]

Okay, so you see this right here? You see this 51 point advantage that Democrats have significantly less than. You see that 63 point advantage. And what we will note is back in 2024, right, Donald Trump put in a historically strong performance among African Americans. Democrats performed the worst in a generation. Have they gained any of that coalition back from where they fell down to in 2024? But take a look here. Okay. Choice for election among African Americans. Kamala Harris was leading amongst that group in the pre election polling by 63 points. Are Democrats gaining back any of that ground? Uh, it's a 62 point advantage now Republicans are holding onto the gains that they made among African American in 2024. Republicans are gaining among African Americans. They are chipping away at that long term advantage. The Donald Trump led Republican Party is making gains among African Americans that we simply put have not seen the Republican Party make in a generation.

[Rich]

A lot of common sense in that community, a lot of people of faith in that community. The president is live right now. He's speaking in the Forum Club, the Palm Beaches dinner and we're going to cut in and listen in just briefly here you can.

[Donald Trump]

Because they would use it on a place called Israel very quickly and they would use it in the Middle east and they'd use it in Europe and I guess we'd be, we'd be next. And it's not going to happen. Don't worry about it. We have, we've taken apart, we've taken. Their air force is nonexistent. It's gone. Their navy, that a very strong navy. They had the strongest navy by far in the Middle east, many times over. They have 159 ships. Every single ship is at the bottom of the sea right now. They have no anti aircraft capacity, they have no radar, they have no leaders. Actually their leaders are all gone too. It's part of our problem. We don't know who the hell we're dealing with. They call up, this is Mohammed so and so. And I say, are you a leader? We're looking, we're looking for a leader. It's the only country in the world nobody wants to be a leader. You know, they say, they say would anybody like to be president? And there are no takers, but we're going to. I think we're doing a great job over there actually, where we have the, you know, they used the hormone strait as a weapon for many, many years. They said they'll close it. So they closed it. Then I closed it on them, which is sort of. They want a little business, they get no business. But it's going to work out because everything works out. You know, you look at, you look at what we did with Venezuela. That was an amazing, amazing military. And now we have a great relationship with Venezuela. 100 million barrels of oil we've already sold, it goes down to Texas. It goes to be refined in Texas. 100 million. We're going to be another over the next month. It's going to be another hundred million. And you'll be happy to hear this because you're a lot of great business people here. This is the first war that you've seen in the United States for a long time where we actually have paid for the cost of the war by about 37 times already. In other words, it cost us a lot. We had those big, beautiful aircraft carriers, lots of planes and everything else, but we've paid for it many, many times over. And we're getting along great with the people, the leaders of the country, and we're working with them very closely and they're relying on us totally. And the relationship is very good. And they're doing more business now than they've done in 15 years, probably. I mean, and we have the oil companies all moving in. The big American oil companies are all moving in. It's really been amazing. And then I said, all right, now we can take a little pause. We ended up doing the. I mean, you all know, you people that probably see the stock market more than almost anybody in the world. There's no group in the world that's more stock market oriented than the people in front of me. Many of you are responsible for some of those successful stocks. But. But the stock market hit today an all time high again. It hit one yesterday, hit one the day before during what they call a military operation. You know, they don't like the word war, and they call it a military operation because that way you don't have a war, you don't have legal problems. But you ever hear a situation where we're knocking the hell out of somebody and we have a Congress.

[Mark Levin]

Please.

[Donald Trump]

You've only got three days left. We spent 19 years in Vietnam. We spent 12 years in Iraq. We spent seven years in another place. Two years in another one. Seven years in another one. We had another one for 14 years and we're in there for six weeks. What's taking so long now? We could leave right now. Right now. If we left right now, it would take them 20 years, 25 years to rebuild the place. But we're not doing it because we have to do it totally right. We don't want to have somebody coming back in five years and you have an incompetent president, which we just went through four years of a very terrible situation, very incompetent. But this should have been done long before I got to office. So we had to do it. The crazy thing is I had all my financial people, Scott, you know, Howard, you know, all of the different people, and we're celebrating the success because we have the Highest stock market. We broke 50,000 on the Dow. Nobody thought it was possible. They said maybe at the end of the fourth year, but probably in six years, five years, but not during this term. It's too much. We did it at the end of the first year. Then we broke 7,000 on the S and P. We did that at the end of this year, long ahead of schedule. And then I said, you know, we have the most successful. We, by the way, more oil is being drilled right now than at any time in the history of our country. We're doing double. Think of this, we're doing double Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. Double Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. Nobody knows that. And you see all of those big gorgeous ships coming up from all over the world because the strait is closed by us. And they're coming to Texas now and Louisiana to load up big ones, 2 million barrels of oil. The big ones, those are the big ones. And they're all heading up. And you see the line, they call it the conga line. I don't know what that's supposed to represent, but you see those graphs made from Space Force. You know, we were responsible for Space Force. We needed Space Force. We were being killed in space by China, by Russia. In my first term, I created Space Force. First time in 79 years that we did a new division, a new grouping because you had the Marines, the Army, Navy, the Marines, we had the Coast Guard, we have all of the different branches.

[Rich]

Take a little break, but we won't be long. I'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

Mud lovin.

[Mark Levin]

As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what's to come next. And people of faith pray for freedom

[Rich]

and for God's people in the Holy Land to be protected.

[Mark Levin]

And in the Holy Land. Red alert sirens fill the air. Sirens that give you only 15 seconds

[Rich]

to reach the nearest bomb shelter.

[Mark Levin]

The situation is serious. The threat is real. And in times like this, freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas. They are what we depend upon. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid, emergency essentials for security personnel, while helping ensure hospitals and emergency rooms and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies. This aid is focused on Israel's most vulnerable. The sick, the elderly, children, families in great need. But the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews needs your most generous gift today to make this work possible. So please rush your gift which is tax deductible by calling right away. 888-585-IFCJ. That's 888-585IFCJ or online at levin for the fellowship.org that's L E V I N for the fellowship.org.

[Rich]

All right, the President is speaking in Palm Beach. Palm Beach's dinner, the Forum Club. Go.

[Donald Trump]

But again, their military is. They have some missiles left. They have some missile making capacity left. We've knocked about 85% of their manufacturing capacity for new missiles out. We've knocked about 82% but that means they have missiles left. We knocked out most of their drone making factories, but they have some drone capacity left. And drones are pretty effective. But we've also developed in the meantime, you know, if you remember, the German U boats were a horror. Nobody could stop them. And then all of a sudden they come up with sonar and it went from. Nobody could stop them that it was the worst place in the world to be is in a U boat. The drone anti drone capacity that we have now is fantastic. Have new weapons, lasers. You're going to see the lasers. They go into a laser, they just burn like they just boom. And we have that. And we have very special machine guns with large scale bullets operated by a computer. And as they come in, it just knocks them out. Like it's amazing. But with all of that being said, there's still danger. There's always danger with war. With war you never know what happens. Look at Russia. It was supposed to be a one day war and it's four years, right? And you see that and it's really a terrible war. And it's a lot of people died less. Last month they had 25,000 soldiers, mostly soldiers killed. It's like a bloodbath over there. And I think we'll get that. We've settled eight wars and that should be the ninth. I think we're going to get it done. But it's a rough one. It's a rough one. But we're joined tonight by a lot of my friends and very distinguished people that are great people. The Palm beach mayor, Danielle Moore. Where's Danielle? Where are you, Danielle? Hi, Danielle. How are you? Great person. We're working on a little couple of things that for good water, let's say a nice water product, right?

[Rich]

Yeah. President never stops, does he, Rich? He's working on everything. Monuments in Washington and so forth.

[Donald Trump]

We're the best submarines in the world. We can go for years underwater. All nuclear submarines, the nuclear ones. And one of the things we have is great water on the submarines. Desalinization, something. How does that sound for Palm Beach? So we're looking at it. We're. We're going to play with it and see. Boy, would that be nice. From the standpoint of unbelievably clean, pure water, it would be great. So we're working with Danielle and we're working with the council, and I think something is going to come up, whether it's filtering or desalinization. Desalinization is a little bit better and a little bit more expensive, like a lot. But, you know, anything used by the Navy is the most expensive. But think of it. They can go forever in a submarine. Nuclear submarine can guide for at just about top speed for 35 years without refueling. Can you believe it? Going at a very fast. We have the greatest submarines anywhere in the world. Nobody close. We're 15 years ahead of any other. We have the greatest military in the world. I rebuilt it. I rebuilt the military in my first term, and I didn't know I'd be using it this much my second term. But we have. Certain things have to be done. It was sad when in Afghanistan, some of it was left behind by people that should have never happened. Getting out. We wanted to get out. We were going to get out easily. We would have won. We would have won and then gotten out. We would have gotten out with the great pride. But we left some of the military. But it was really just a small percentage. You know, it sounds like a lot and it is a lot, but it was 2% of what we. What we built up. We built a great military. But our submarines can go by nuclear power. Think of that. They can go for many years without stopping. They have water capacity, Danielle. Unlimited water capacity. They can. The one thing they don't have. You know what it is?

[Mark Levin]

Food.

[Donald Trump]

They have to come up every 90 days for food. The only thing we can't figure out is food. A little simple thing like that. So. But it's really amazing some of the things that we're able to do with the military with a lot of other things, too. Palm Beach Town Council President Ted Cooney. Thank you, Ted. Thank you, Ted. Good job.

[Rich]

Good.

[Donald Trump]

Palm Beach County Administrator Joe Abruzzo, who's a phenomenal. You are. You got a diamond day. It's. You have. I know a lot of town administrators, and you don't want them. This guy is a diamond. Thank you very much. You're doing a fantastic job.

[Rich]

All right, we're gonna. We're gonna move along because I did promise folks that we would take their calls, and I think we're gonna start taking some calls here. We have time, Mr. Producer. All right, let's start at the top, Larry. Port Clinton, Ohio.

[Mark Levin]

Sirius XM satellite.

[Rich]

How are you, Larry?

[Caller or Guest]

I'm just fine, Mark. How you doing?

[Rich]

Good, thank you.

[Caller or Guest]

Well, I'd like to talk a little bit about gas prices. If we're in the world oil market or whatever they call it, and we're supposed to be energy independent, why don't we get the hell out of world's oil market and, and then sell oil to all these other places and get our gas prices here in the states down. We're at $5 a gallon here.

[Rich]

Because it doesn't work that way. Just because you have borders, it affects the price worldwide. It's like air, it's like water, and it moves around. So I don't even know how we would do that. We would say, okay, we're producing oil and gas here. This is our price. And we're not selling it anywhere else, but we are selling it other places. We have to because we have more than enough so it goes out on the market. And we should actually be pleased about that because there are other times when the market brings the price of our gasoline and oil down. So I guess what bothers me, Larry, thank you for your call. And it does bother me is we're in the middle of this military operation that is going very successfully. We're trying to make sure that an enemy doesn't have nuclear missiles to fire at us because they will.

[Mark Levin]

And people keep complaining about the price

[Rich]

of gasoline, which was much higher under Biden and under Biden with their climate change religion.

[Mark Levin]

I don't remember this much complaining. So I, I just think to myself,

[Rich]

why is this happening this way? And it's clearly going to come down. I'll be right back.

[Donald Trump]

I'll go with what Mark Levin said

[Mark Levin]

because nobody could say it better. Call in now.

[Donald Trump]

887-7381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

That's the man right there.

[Rich]

All right, I'm not in the mood to hear about Kamala Harris. What a monotonous bore she is. I hope she is their nominee. Here's the President on Iran. I want to go to cut six, Mr. Producer. Go.

[Donald Trump]

They're not getting along. They're very, very confused by what's happened because essentially most of their military has been wiped out. But we just had a conversation with Iran. Let's see what happens. But I would say that I am not happy. Their leadership is very disjointed, very argumentative with each other. They come back, one says one thing, one says another. They're very confused. Obviously, their country has been practicing, frankly, decimated. The Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Many of their soldiers, unfortunately, are gone. They've got to come up with the right deal. At this moment, I'm not satisfied with

[Mark Levin]

what they do

[Rich]

now. I think our military over there has. I think they've got more ammunition now. I think they've got more missiles, more firepower. I think that little period of time has enabled us to do that and perhaps also to identify more targets that need to be hit. I hope so.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah.

[Rich]

I want them defeated. I won victory. Why is that so unusual? Why is that so weird? I don't think they can be contained. Certainly after this president leaves, I don't see they can be contained because presidents of both parties before this president, seven of them, really didn't do much. In fact, in the case of Obama, he basically had paved the way for them to get nukes. Then Biden ensured that they had, like, $150 billion when he turned the other way. And they were violating the sanctions. And they knew it. They told them they were going to turn the other way, and that's what we did. So I'm just not comfortable with a deal that doesn't somehow ensure that this regime is surrendering, because it can't go on in perpetuity. It may not even go on to the next administration. God knows what if a Democrat wins? Let's pray not. But even though we have Fuentes and Carlson and that whole cabal trying to get a Democrat elected so they can

[Mark Levin]

say, I told you so, they're all

[Rich]

about themselves, these people. You need to understand, they're all about themselves.

[Mark Levin]

So they bring up this War Powers

[Rich]

act and what the President has done with his lawyers, actually quite brilliant.

[Mark Levin]

They said, look, the war is over.

[Rich]

There's been a ceasefire.

[Mark Levin]

Now, that doesn't mean we can't attack them again. Mr. Producer, which time the clock starts again. Isn't that brilliant? Now he also knows, and I also know and his lawyers also know that the so called War Powers act is unconstitutional.

[Rich]

Passed in 1973. Supreme Court's never ruled on it, but

[Mark Levin]

you can't change the power of the

[Rich]

commander in chief with a statute. And if Congress wants to exercise power to stop a military operation, they have to use the power of the budget and they have to have the votes

[Mark Levin]

to do it, but they don't. So they're trying to shortcut it. And then they run around saying it's

[Rich]

an illegal war, it's an unconstitutional war.

[Mark Levin]

Like, these are stupid people. They are very good at propaganda and slogans though. They just want a majority. They just want power. You know my book on power, the

[Rich]

thinnest book I've ever written, but it is packed.

[Mark Levin]

It is packed. If you read that book, you'll understand

[Rich]

completely what's taking place right now.

[Mark Levin]

And I get into the philosophical, but I get into the particular in present day as well. I'm not hawking it, I'm just saying if you read that book, you'll get it, the whole thing. And I kept it tight, tight, tight. And you're seeing what's taking place here. And it's my, my proposition that almost everything that's done is for power, certainly by political parties. And so I take this word power and I break it down into parts. What I call positive power, negative power. And there was a great thinker who talked about positive freedom and negative freedom. And I discussed that in the book too. And I explained. I think that's a little off.

[Rich]

I'm not attacking the philosopher because he was brilliant, but I'm saying the issue really isn't liberty, it's power. And power will determine whether you have liberty or not. See my point, Rich? So liberty won't determine whether you have power or not. Power will determine whether you have liberty. Something to think about, right? What are rights? I discuss that in this little book too. I think when I'm dead and gone, that may be the book, I could be wrong. Maybe it's liberty and tyranny. I'm not sure. Or maybe it's nothing. You never know. You just never know. Alrighty. I think we should take some people here. Hold on one second. I got a damn email. Dropped out. Give me a name and a location. Mr. Producer, if you don't mind.

[Mark Levin]

KDWN JD in Nevada.

[Rich]

Mr. Vice President, how are you, sir? I'm just kidding.

[Caller or Guest]

Thank you.

[Mark Levin]

How are you, jd?

[Caller or Guest]

Thank you, sir. I'm doing better. If I was any better, I'd Be twins. Thank you, sir. I first met you in San Diego, In San Diego, 25 years ago with your first book on the. On the Supreme Court. And from Henderson, Nevada. I know you have people here. I want to thank you again many times for teaching me about the Constitution that I have never known. And everybody that you talk to on your station, you teach and give them information. I want to just say, I want to say one thing about this war on Iran. Does Adam Schiff and Vanderhallen from Maryland and everybody else in the Democratic Party remember when Clinton went to Bosnia and Serbia without congressional appointment? When, when Obama went to Libya for seven or eight minutes, months and bombed everybody? When Biden did whatever he did, all of a sudden President Trump has to go to Congress. We haven't declared war since 1942.

[Rich]

That's right.

[Caller or Guest]

And all of a sudden, President Trump has to follow all of these precepts of these people. But Obama didn't have to do it.

[Rich]

No.

[Caller or Guest]

Biden didn't have to do it.

[Rich]

No.

[Caller or Guest]

Clinton didn't have to do it. And now I would only hope that the Democrat, the Republicans in the House and the Senate would repeat what I'm saying. And I.

[Rich]

We've got a little problem. We've got a little problem, J.D. we've got about six Republicans in the Senate like Josh Hawley, like Lisa Murkowski, like this jerk from Utah, a couple others who are out there, you know, Quizzlings who are buckling. And that could be problematic. That said, I think the president's done a brilliant thing here. His lawyers have. And if it has to go to the Supreme Court, it goes to the Supreme Court. He should not buckle to this. Because these people in Congress who are conducting themselves this way, they're not looking out for the best interests of America. They would literally have us turn around and leave in the middle of this thing. Can you imagine how irresponsible this is,

[Caller or Guest]

Mark? We are doing something that no Republican and Democratic president in the last 20 years has addressed. This president has the courage, courage to go after these people, and they are going after him like he's the guy. He's the bad guy. Every Democrat has said that Khomeini and Iran are bad guys. But now that Trump says we're going to eliminate the bad guys, oh, it's no good. No more. It is unbelievable. This ha. Cream Jeffries, this guy is a dumbbell, like you have said. He is stupid. Schumer. They are stupid. What they.

[Mark Levin]

I gotta go. I gotta go.

[Rich]

I could listen to you all night. You're terrific. And it was a pleasure meeting you 25 years ago, too. God bless you. We'll be right back.
