Episode Overview

In this episode, Mark Levin addresses the alarming silence of NYC’s Mayor Mondami and high-level Democrats regarding escalating violence against Jews in New York City. Levin explores the broader issue of antisemitism, the complicity of political leaders, and what he sees as the alignment of left-wing politics with Islamist interests. The show also delves into U.S.-China relations, the dangers posed by Iran, issues of immigration and criminal justice, and key international events. The tone is urgent, combative, and unapologetically conservative.

Episode Tone & Language

Forceful, urgent, and combative with vivid, direct language. Levin and guests mix sarcasm, outrage, and historic analogies to warn against perceived threats to American values—especially antisemitism, radical leftism, and global adversaries (notably China and Iran). The tone is strictly right-wing populist, with little tolerance for political opponents or mainstream media.

---

Final Takeaways

This episode delivers an unfiltered critique of progressive politics, accusing leaders of complicity in growing domestic and international threats—particularly antisemitism and pro-Islamist agendas in the U.S. and abroad. It highlights perceived parallels between Europe’s experience and America’s current trajectory and issues a fervent call for civic defense of the nation’s founding values.

Levin’s closing charge: Speak out, stay informed, and fight the destruction of American identity—because, to him, the threat is not only real, but imminent.

Hey folks, Mark Levin here.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

You should always consult your financial and tax consultant. Now let's get to the show. He's here.

[Announcer/Narrator]

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

[Mark Levin]

Hello America. Mark Levin here.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-3810.

[Mark Levin]

I want to thank

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Mayor Mondami for his very, very forceful statement today condemning the Islamo Nazis who were brutalizing, harassing, victimizing Jews in their Jewish community and at their synagogue. It was a fantastic statement he released, don't you think, Mr. Reducer? It was even better the way he said it with his emotion that it

[Mark Levin]

would not be tolerated in his city and his right hand police chief, Commissioner Tish. She's Jewish.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

She was fantastic today.

[Mark Levin]

Absolutely unbelievable.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Except they didn't say anything. Neither of them? Neither of them. I've never seen anything like it. Not in our country anyway. Other countries. Yes, not in our country. And if you go on the Internet today, you'll see some of the videos of what took about, took place on October 7th. It's just unbearable. You're also going to see what's going on in Nigeria, how Christian women, pregnant Christian women are being tortured before they're murdering them. The same fundamentalist religion, the same Islamists, whether in the Middle east, whether in Africa. And they're now here in a neighborhood near you, if not in your neighborhood. I'm not talking about peaceful people. I'm talking about Islamists. And they're here and they're here in large numbers and they're getting to be here in even bigger numbers. I noticed that the Democrats,

[Mark Levin]

all but

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

a handful, are not even talking about this.

[Mark Levin]

They don't take to the floor of

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

the Senate and condemn this. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, where are they? Where are the Jewish Democrats in Congress

[Mark Levin]

A handful of them. Gosh, Heimer Moskowitz,

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

not many others. Were they nowhere? That is the rest of them. Nowhere.

[Mark Levin]

And the media,

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Some of the media has been excellent. Most of it is not. Most of it is not. This is a cancer that is metastasizing. Quickly, I've told you before, and I'll repeat it yet again, that Mondami's plan is to push as many Jews and

[Mark Levin]

the Jewish community out of his city,

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

out of New York,

[Mark Levin]

And to turn

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

it into a Islamist capital. That's what he's doing. That's what he's fundamentally doing. He's pushing out business people, he's pushing

[Mark Levin]

out Jews, he's encouraging Islamists and others. It's going to become unbearable for middle class people in that city.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Unbearable.

[Mark Levin]

See his property taxes, you see his property tax proposal, Mr. Producer, you live around there. People. The middle class thought they'd be untouched. Well, apparently not. Apparently, you're going to get hammered. See his phony budget. See his phony budget. He's even going to get money from Albany, from Hokul, about $8 billion. Pension payments are not going to be

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

made

[Mark Levin]

because he wants to redistribute wealth, you understand, to the people who didn't earn it. That's what he wants to do. They call that equality and justice.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Is that what you call it, America?

[Mark Levin]

And he's being celebrated by the Senate Stalinist, that is Bernie Sanders being celebrated for the wonderful things he's doing for

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

the city of New York.

[Mark Levin]

And where these Islamists hold power. It's no better anywhere else. No better anywhere else.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Doesn't matter. No intention of assimilating in any way. None. Oh, I'll get on to China. Just a matter of time.

[Mark Levin]

We'll get onto Iran.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

We'll get on to all of it. But I'm on the home front right now. We have people in this country who contributed nothing.

[Mark Levin]

We have people in this country who haven't built a damn thing here. They've come here to abuse our system, our constitutional protections.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

They trash our country. By the way, they're almost all Democrats now. Almost all Democrats. And the Democrats are still attacking our military, our war effort, while they turn a cold eye away from what's happening to the country.

[Mark Levin]

Because these are their voters.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

They need these people. These are their voters.

[Mark Levin]

They don't care. It's what they want. Now, apropos to all this is Kamala

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Harris on a zoom call yesterday. She is horrific in every respect. Horrific. And this is now the mantra of the Democrat Party. You heard Hakeem Jeffries. You've heard Chris Murphy, now you're going

[Mark Levin]

to hear Kamala Harris. They believe this country is up for grabs. And I don't mean electorally. They believe this country, the Constitution, is up for grabs if they win both chambers and the presidency, that they have the right to destroy our republic, the construct of our Constitution, which is what protects us from tyranny. They don't talk about convention of states. They don't talk about, you know, the, the other way of amending the Constitution. They have no intention of mending anything. They're just going to bulldoze right through it.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

And I'm not kidding. And I'm going to keep ringing the bell on this. Here she is. Cut 19. Go.

[Kamala Harris]

Look, this is a moment where there are no bad ideas. No bad idea brainstorm is what I'd like to call it. And in that no bad ideas brainstorm, we talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the Electoral College. We talk about the idea of Supreme

[Mark Levin]

Court reform, which just like the communists,

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

you notice when they're destroying something, they call it reform. They never disappoint. They want to reform the Supreme Court by destroying it. They want to reform the Electoral College by destroying it. This is the most radicalized Democrat Party in American history. The most destructive. Clearly it's a Marxist offspring. I wrote the book American Marxism followed by the book the Democrat Party Hates America. Those two books say it all. Go ahead.

[Kamala Harris]

The Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi member districts.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

We talk about multi members district. What is that? A multi members district. That's just the latest

[Mark Levin]

crackpot idea that

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

they've come up with. A multi members district. Is that in the Constitution, A multi members district? I don't think so. Go ahead.

[Kamala Harris]

That if we win the Senate, which we should, and we will, then the Senate Judiciary Committee should have rules that they put in place so when these people come before as nominees to the Supreme Court and lie, that they are held to account.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

What's with her Southern accent, Mr. Producer? What's with all that stuff? It's very weird. Is she trying to imitate somebody? The hell is that?

[Mark Levin]

Go ahead.

[Kamala Harris]

Consequence. Not just that somebody goes on cable news and says they lied, but that there are rules in place to actually penalize people for lying to a Senate Judiciary Committee.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Let me see if I understand. Boy, she's stupid. So I guess that means Jackson should be removed since she couldn't even define what a woman is. Right. Who's going to determine if they lied or not and how's the Senate Judiciary Committee going to have rules to punish United States Supreme Court justices? And who punishes people like her when they lie? Politicians. And who punishes members of the Senate Judiciary Committee when they lie sick? Go ahead.

[Kamala Harris]

That we agree that it is right to have ethics rules for Supreme Court justices.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Well, let me say that's a separate branch of government. They make that determination, not you. And this is funny. I just read a piece where $550,000 in our taxpayer dollars were spent on these sexual harassment settlements on Capitol Hill. Did you read that, Mr. Producer? That's our money. And she has the nerve to talk about ethics. Any of these politicians talk about ethics? Man, that's pretty weird, don't you think, folks?

[Kamala Harris]

Go ahead and let's put those in place. Let's talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. see?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

See, state hood for Puerto Rico and D.C. d.C. Is a city. It was, it was created by the Constitution. Cities don't get centers, but they don't care. Puerto Rico is a territory. They don't get senators either, but they want to give them senators only because that's four Democrats. That's why I don't agree when the president says Venezuela, Venezuela. Probably elect two more Democrats there, too. I'm just saying. But all that said, then you give a headwind to them to put four Democrats in the Senate. Go ahead.

[Kamala Harris]

Things I think that we've got to do. We've got to neutralize these red states from.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

We don't got to do anything. We have to do it. Are you familiar with the English language? We don't got to.

[Mark Levin]

And we got to get these red states.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Don't you know?

[Mark Levin]

Oh, yeah, got to get these red states. Got to punish these red states. They're cheating, you know, the cheating. Here we, we had a great, a great referendum in Virginia. Six to five to ten to one Democrat. We violated their constitution twice. We violated a statute once. And there they are, the court. The Supreme Court ruled against us. We got to destroy that court. That's right. We got to lower the retirement age to 54. Get rid of all of them so the Democrats can replace them all. Then we can have another vote. We'll win that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know how to get this done. Change the courts, change the voting system. Change. Reform. Yeah. We're for change in reform. And then affordability. Oh, how's that affordability gone. New York City. How's that going up there? I'm just curious for the building. Free stuff is very expensive, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Free stuff. They're gonna make sure you get free eggs and bread. I think it was a great meal if you're a prisoner. But not till 2027 or 2028. You know, when they raise your property taxes. That's right.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

That's right. Go ahead.

[Kamala Harris]

Including blue states expanding their maps. And all of this I think, is.

[Mark Levin]

Is blue states expanding their maps.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

What the hell does that even mean?

[Mark Levin]

Bring in illegal aliens. Get more Democrat congressional districts. Change the Supreme Court. Make it a Democrat polar Pew. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Direct election of a president, not the electoral college. That way 11 blue states will decide everything. We can get this done. Let's have bad brainstorming here.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I'll be right back.

In 2025, global gold demand blew past 5,000 tons and hit a record $555 billion in value.

[Mark Levin]

Many central banks are quietly diversifying away

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

from the dollar, adding hundreds of tons to their reserves.

[Mark Levin]

Large institutions poured in the second biggest inflow on record. And barring coin demand hit a 12 year high. Meanwhile, mine supply grew just 1%. New gold can't be printed. And a recent report said it plainly. Gold demand just broke a record. Supply can't keep up for retirees. That means your traditional stock and bond mix has fewer safe places to hide. That's why I Recommend Monetary Gold. 26 years in business A plus. Better Business Bureau rating 0. Unresolved complaints and every fee disclosed before you spend a cent.

You should always consult your financial tax professional. Israel. The Prime Minister of Israel is going to sue the New York Times for libeling. The IDF with these lies about them training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners. And of course, Kristof is the columnist. I'll get to him more in a moment. The New York Times puts out a statement basically saying the accounts of the men and women he interviewed were corroborated with witnesses whenever possible, with people the victims confided in, including family members and lawyers. Well, that's great. So I assume the New York Times won't seek an early dismissal of the case, claiming press freedom.

[Mark Levin]

I assume the New York Times will

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

demand its day in court.

[Mark Levin]

I assume the New York Times will want to present all of its evidence so it could be cross examined and checked in front of a jury. No, I assume wrong.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

The big gold story right now folks, is who's Buying gold and how fast

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

they're draining the market.

[Mark Levin]

In 2025, global gold demand prices hit

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

dozens of new all time highs.

[Mark Levin]

It was central banks, institutions, serious investors moving out of paper and into physical metal. And in the US demand for coins, bars and physically backed gold has surged. Meanwhile, mine supply grew just 1%. And you can't print gold for retirees. That matters because stocks and bonds are no longer providing the protection they used to. That's why I work with Monetary Gold. They've helped over 50,000 clients. They have an A plus better business bureau rating and disclose every fee up front. To see how physical gold or silver

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

All right, let's get into some of this with China

[Mark Levin]

Xi.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

At the state banquet in China yesterday. Cut one, go.

[Chinese Interpreter]

Today, President Trump and I had in depth exchanges on China US relations and international and regional dynamics. We both believe.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

By the way, that's not him, that's the interpreter. But go ahead.

[Chinese Interpreter]

Relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world. We must make it work and never mess it up. Both China and the United States stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation. Our two countries should be partners rather than rivals.

[Mark Levin]

Yes, yes, of course.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Of course we should. As they pour billions to destroy our colleges and universities into this country. As they buy enormous amounts of land around our military posts. Sure. As they steal our technology. As they you use cyber against us, of course. Birthright citizenship where they have these birthing mills to create spies in the future. Fantastic. Fantastic.

[Mark Levin]

And I can go on and on

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

about our friends the Chinese. They don't want rivals, they want partners. It's obvious they're spending an enormous amount on their military. That's not aimed at anybody but us and our allies. And of course, despite what they say, they've been providing arms and support to the Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran. Talk is cheap. Talk is cheap. Go ahead.

[Chinese Interpreter]

I also agreed to build a constructive China US relationship of strategic stability to promote the steady, sound and sustainable development of China US Relations.

[Mark Levin]

Really?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Is that why you built those phony islands in the South China Sea so you could control the trillions of dollars in trade that goes through there through navigation? Is that why you've claimed control over certain islands, the Sprat Islands that aren't yours? Is that why you've claimed control over Philippine islands that aren't yours? Is that why you've claimed control on navigable waters off the shores of Vietnam that aren't yours? Is that why you threatened Australia's shoreline and South Korea?

[Mark Levin]

Sure.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Constructive, I'd say. Go ahead.

[Chinese Interpreter]

Peace, prosperity and progress to the world.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Peace, prosperity and progress. Very interesting.

[Mark Levin]

They signed a deal with the British

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

under Margaret Thatcher, a 99 year deal

[Mark Levin]

that while Hong Kong would eventually transition

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

with its own democracy, its own government,

[Mark Levin]

its own rights as sort of a

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

pseudo part of China.

[Mark Levin]

After 40 years, 41 years, what did they do? They took it over. They took it over.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Now, not to be a wet blanket,

[Mark Levin]

but that doesn't sound like a country

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

that just wants to work with us,

[Mark Levin]

does it to you, ladies and gentlemen? They want Taiwan. I want to make this clear.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Taiwan used to be called Formosa.

[Mark Levin]

It was never,

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

ever, never part of mainland China. Never, not in its thousands of years history. They claim it. They claim other parts of the world. 90% of the advanced computer chips, I mean for the advanced technology that we use in this country comes from Taiwan. I want you to imagine if the Chinese control that, you can assume that they will be able to control technological advances. They will be able to control our economy, the economy of the Western world, the whole world. The whole world.

[Mark Levin]

We're trying to catch up, but it's

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

going to take 20 or 30 years because the Taiwanese began this process in the 80s and we're way behind.

[Mark Levin]

But the fact is, if they can

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

control these chips, they will control military technology, all other forms of technology, energy technology, space technology. These are the fastest, most advanced chips on the face of the earth. Is that okay? They don't have any claim, historical or legal, to Taiwan. None

[Mark Levin]

trump the Xi before their bilateral meeting in China yesterday. Cut two ago.

[Donald Trump]

You and I have known each other now for a long time. In fact, the longest relationship of our two countries that any president and president has had. And that's to me, an honor. We've had a fantastic relationship. We've gotten along. When there were difficulties, we worked it out. I would call you and you would call me. And whenever we had a problem, people don't know whenever we had a problem. We worked that out very quickly and we're going to have a fantastic future together. Such respect for China, the job you've done. You're a great leader. I say it to everybody. You're a great leader. Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway because it's true. I only say the truth. And I just want to say on behalf of all of the great delegation that we have, we have the greatest businessmen, the biggest and I guess the best in the world. We have amazing people. And they're all with me. They, every single one of them. We asked the top 30 in the world, Every single one of them said yes. And I didn't want the second or the third in the company. I wanted only the top. And they're here today to pay respects to you and to China, and they look forward to trade and doing business. And it's going to be totally reciprocal on our behalf. So I really look very much forward to our discussion. It's a big discussion. There are those that say this is maybe the biggest summit ever. They can never remember anything like it. I can say in the United States, it's. People aren't talking about anything else, but it's an honor to be with you. It's an honor to be your friend. And the relationship between China and the USA is going to be better than ever before.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Well, I guess then we don't need to build up our military, right, Mr. Producer? Oh, yeah. We'll have our friend Gordon Chang on the program, I guess. It's in the third hour, Mr. Producer. 8:20 tonight to talk about this one of the greats, the president on with Sean Hannity. This airs later tonight, but we have the scoop. Cut three, go.

[Tim Kaine]

She would like to see a deal made. He would like to see a deal made with Iran. And he did offer. He said, if I can be of any help at all, I would like to be of help. Because he did say that. Yeah, he did say that. And look, anybody that buys that much oil has obviously got some kind of a relationship with him. But he said, I would love to be a help if I could be of any help whatsoever. He'd like to see the hormone strait open.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

He's the guy that helped help them with their ballistic missiles. Go ahead.

[Tim Kaine]

Whatsoever I would like to help.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Mm. I'll stop giving him help. I'm speaking to China. Stop giving the Iranians help. Cut four, go.

[Tim Kaine]

China's support of Iran.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

How big a discussion was that today?

[Tim Kaine]

We discussed it. I mean, when you say support, they're not fighting a war with us or anything. No, he said he's not going to give military equipment. That's a Big statement. He said that today. That's a big statement. He said that strongly. But at the same time, he said, you know, they buy a lot of their oil there and they'd like to keep doing that. He'd like to see Hormuz straight opened. I said, well, we didn't stop it. They did it. Then we stopped them. You know, sort of interesting, he joked. He said, you know, it's sort of if they stopped it, then you stopped them. But they'd like to see it opened. But they actually closed it. He didn't like the fact that they're charging tolls. I don't know if they are or not. I don't know who would pay them. I mean, where do they put the money? The country's decimated. You know, they're charging tolls. Where's the money going?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Mm. Okay. In Iran, what I would like to see is complete victory myself. The elimination of that regime. Whether the woke right neo fascists like it or not, whether the Islamists or the Marxists like it or not, they don't care about our country. This is what you need to understand. The Tucker Carlson's in their they do not care about this country. I do. So things are going swimmingly with communist China. That's the way it sounds to me. But the truth is we're not getting a ton of details right now. I have scoured the media, I have scoured some of the great resources on, on China and so forth. We're not getting a lot of specifics right now. Maybe we'll get some more tomorrow morning or tomorrow at some point. Surely when the President comes back. I have a prediction to make. You ready? That military action against Iran will start soon after the President gets back. I have no inside information whatsoever.

[Representative Van Drew]

Zero.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

But this is to me, the quiet before the storm, Mr. Producer. Now, it needs to be military action, the purpose of which is to remove the regime. And for the four billionth time, that means arming the Iranian people. Arming the Iranian people. We can talk about the Kurds all we want. Happen to like the Kurds. The President doesn't. But let's talk about arming the Iranian people. And whatever we do with China, we need to make sure, absolutely certain that we hold the upper hand. It is a country on the move. And I don't mean in a good way, I mean in a bad way. Isn't that the country that was taking control of the Panama Canal? Why does it need the Panama Canal other than to harm us? Isn't it a country that was Putting military bases of a sort in Central and South America. That would be our hemisphere. Why do they need to do that? Why are they working with Russia for military bases, plural, in the Arctic Circle? Why are they making killer satellites? Is there another country other than us that those would be aimed at? So I hear what she says I hear, but I don't believe. Sorry, I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

We talk about Israel, we're not just talking about a place. We're talking about a people connected to a promise.

[Mark Levin]

A promise made by God, one he

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

has never broken and one that continues even today. Because God's character doesn't change what he begins, he sustains.

[Mark Levin]

What he promises, he fulfills. Right now in Israel, families run to shelters as sirens sound.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

This isn't just a crisis, it's a call to respond.

[Mark Levin]

For Christians, caring for the Jewish people isn't rooted in politics. It's rooted in tr. Trust in God who keeps his word. So we don't stay distant. We step in with prayer and practical help. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

is on the ground bringing food, caring for the vulnerable and reminding people they're not alone.

[Mark Levin]

This is what it looks like to align our hearts with God's, to pray, to show up, to care. Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in praying for the peace of

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Jerusalem and for the people who need it right now.

[Mark Levin]

Visit levin for the fellowship.org that's L

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

E V I N for the fellowship.org. By the way, two big hours ahead. Just a minute left. In this particular hour, it goes very quickly. I want to get into more of China, but I also want to get into Iran because I think that's going to be hitting the headlines quite soon again. We cannot forget what's going on there. We have quite a flotilla there, quite an air force there, and I have a view. I guess it's the same as Patton's view after Hitler was defeated. He said, our army is here, let's finish the job with the Soviets. Well, it's not exactly the same thing. Our military is there in the Middle east. And the President's right. The Iranians have lost their air force and their navy, thanks to us. Now it's time to kill off the regime. Otherwise. Otherwise our children and grandchildren, they will be threatened by nuclear weapons. And while the left doesn't think that's a big deal, the fact is the enemy doesn't look at blue states and red states. They look at the whole country. The enemy looks at the whole west, the whole planet. So we have to drag these dummies along no matter what. But we need to do the right thing. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

He's here.

[Announcer/Narrator]

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

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number. Hello. 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Admiral Brad Cooper, head of CENTCOM, at a hearing on the US military readiness in Africa and Asia today. Iran and its proxies. Cut five. Go.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

Leading up to February 28th.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Senator Ashley Moody, prior to that, what

[Senator Ashley Moody]

was jarring to you that you saw different than what had been for those many decades that you've been involved?

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

I think it's important to note just in the 30 months before Epic fury commenced, Iran and its proxies had been attacking US service members and diplomats about 350 times.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

Can you repeat that?

[Mark Levin]

Every.

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

About every third day, Iran and its proxies attacked American service members 350 times in the Middle East.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

I don't think that that Americans were aware of that, that in the 30 months that they had attacked Americans or their service members 350 times. Does that surprise you that I would say that, that I don't believe that everyday American going to work knew that it's disappointing.

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

But between the actions of proxies in Iraq and Syria as well as the Houthis. Houthis, that's, that's simply the fact of what happened.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Okay. And you'll see as I go through some of the Democrats here, they really are rooting for the enemy and by their questions and their conduct, they are pushing for the enemy. Remember, we have men and women in uniform in the middle of a battlefield, if you will. Kristen Gillibrand, cut six. Go.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

How did we then bomb 22 schools?

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

There is no indication that we have that that has been corroborated.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

How many schools have we bond?

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

There is one active civilian casualty investigation from the 13,629 munitions.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

So how do you explain the publicly available information that 22 schools have been hit and multiple hospitals?

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

There's no Way that we can corroborate that? No indication of that whatsoever, Senator, there's

[Senator Ashley Moody]

no way you can corroborate or no indication of it? Which one?

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

No indication.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

Well, the indication is what's publicly available. There is indication. Have you investigated those claims?

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

We have not.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

Why have you not, if this is a passion of yours, if you believe that the civilian casualties are not consistent with the law of war and not consistent with human rights obligations that our military regularly follows with great pride and great diligence, why have you not investigated those allegations when they're publicly being made on the COVID of the New York Times?

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

I'll be happy to take a look at the. In each instance.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I would like a report to do that.

[Senator Ashley Moody]

I would like a report from you, from your team about whether there have been attacks that have resulted in the destruction of schools and hospitals and if so, why and how then last have you managed the 90%?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Let me just stop here a moment, please. They were doing this to the Israelis, remember, during the war in Gaza. And I said back then, if you hate Israel, you hate America. You really do it. If you hate America, you hate Israel. And that's exactly what's going on here with these Democrats. You instinctively want to defend our armed forces, right? I do. Don't you? You know full well that our armed forces are not targeting civilian schools and the hospitals intentionally. Right? And yet if you listen to her, she's providing perfect propaganda for the enemy, just as they did with the Israelis. The Democrat Party is an evil entity. It is utterly and completely evil. And if you're a Democrat, still, you need to look in the mirror. You really do. Because they hate Jews, they hate Christians, they hate the United States military, they hate the Israeli military. They say almost nothing about the terrorists. They say nothing about the people in Iran who are suffering the most awful kind of brutality. They say nothing of the people who are suffering the most awful kind of brutality in Gaza. They say nothing of the Christians being

[Mark Levin]

slaughtered in Africa, in Syria. And they say nothing about that report that came out 48 hours ago about what was done to those beautiful young people at the Nova Festival and at these Keith puts, him and the hostages, a few throwaway lines, you know, like, this is horrible. These things shouldn't happen. But then they go right back to it, don't they? What have they said? What have they said about what's being done to Jews in New York City? What had Gillibrand done? Is she a leader of the effort to stop it? You don't even hear from this Idiot. These are diabolical people. I want to report. Report on what? On claims by the New York Times.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

You want to report on claims by

[Mark Levin]

the New York Times? Yes. I never heard before, ladies and gentlemen, that we had hit dozens or scores or hundreds of hospitals and schools. 32 schools, I think she said, that we bomb them. But I wonder what the people of Iran think.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Hmm?

[Mark Levin]

I wonder what they think. Do they stand with Gillibrand or Admiral Cooper? And I'll tell you one other thing. I know enough to know that Admiral Cooper is really the brains behind so much of this. Not General Kane, Admiral Cooper. They had a centcom

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

and their.

[Mark Levin]

Their symbiotic relationship with the Israeli military.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Oh, this drives the, the. The Jew haters nuts.

[Mark Levin]

Absolutely does. Then we have Maisie Hirono. Maisie Hirono from Hawaii.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Go ahead. Cut seven, please. Did the President ever explain to you why he tore up the jcpoa?

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

Senator, that's a policy matter that I would have expected anyone to.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

He never explained to you why he tore up the jcpoa?

[Mark Levin]

Let me help you out, lady.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I'll explain to you why he did. Because he didn't want Iran to get a nuclear weapon. And in that agreement, so called, it ensured that Iran would get a nuclear weapon. That's why he tore it up.

[Mark Levin]

It's not hard, even for you, Maisie,

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

if that is your name.

[Mark Levin]

It's not that complicated. Because you and your damnable party paved the way for Iran to get nuclear weapons. That's why he ripped it up. Nasi, go ahead.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

He either explained it to you or I'm not asking you for the actual conversation, but did he happen to explain to you why he did something which led to the very nuclear crisis that we're now confronting? Okay, so we do have a nuclear crisis, huh? Well, that's good to hear. She doesn't mean it the way it's supposed to be meant, but that's what she said.

[Mark Levin]

And it led to the tearing it

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

up to the nuclear crisis we're now confronting.

[Mark Levin]

No, it didn't, you moron. Your party, the damnable Joe Biden regime, funded that nuclear program. Funded their ballistic missile ICBM program. You moron. Obama led the way to ensure that they get nuclear weapons. That's how your party conducts itself. And you're asking this admiral if he knows why the agreement was ripped up, why does he care? He's given orders. He follows out the orders. And that's his job. He doesn't make policy or political decisions. But then again, Mazie wouldn't Know that, would she? Then they drag out Tim Kaine. What a jackass, this guy. It's one after another, isn't it, America? One after another. And he's questioned by Kaitlan Collins over at the constipated News Network. Cut 8.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Go. Given the way, though, that this war is impacting Americans, do you welcome Chinese efforts to help bring the war to an end? Okay, what of a stupid question is that?

[Mark Levin]

Of course he's going to welcome the

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Communist Chinese as a Democrat.

[Mark Levin]

They welcome Communist Chinese? Communist Cuba.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Levin]

Communist Nicaragua. Oh, yeah. Communists from Uganda, like Mandami. Communists from Burlington, Vermont, like that jerk Sanders. Of course they welcome. What kind of a stupid question is it even apart from that?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Well, it's Kaitlan Collins. What do you expect? Let's hear what Cain has to say. Go.

[Tim Kaine]

Anything that brings this war to an end would be a positive.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

The ceasefire we're in should be extended. Okay, okay, listen to this guy. We should extend the ceasefire. They don't care about the human beings in that concentration camp that we call the Islamo Nazi Iranian regime. They could care less. They do not give a damn. They could care less if they get nuclear weapons. As I said, Obama's out there now. We're listening to his wisdom, which isn't wisdom, of course. It's utter stupidity. This is the guy that sold out our country. He not only sold out our country,

[Mark Levin]

he paid the enemy, but Biden. Biden, always jealous of Obama. He paid the enemy. Let's see, almost a hundred times what Obama paid the enemy by not enforcing

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

sanctions and so forth.

[Mark Levin]

So by all means, let's ask the Democrats what they think we should do.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

By all means,

[Mark Levin]

go ahead.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Said he might start, you know, bombing again tomorrow.

[Tim Kaine]

Republicans, even those who have supported the

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

war, are telling him, don't do this. No, that's not correct. There's a handful of them, like that idiot Lisa Murkowski from Alaska, and then there's an idiot, one out of Utah, a couple other idiots, one out of Indiana, this guy Tillis, who is politically dead man walking. And so now he's. He's sort of the Marjorie traitor gangrene of the Senate.

[Mark Levin]

Incredible.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

By the way, I know what she's doing now. She's just online attacking everybody.

[Mark Levin]

She's attacking this guy Benny.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

What is his last name? That podcaster. Seriously. Benny Johnson.

[Mark Levin]

Now, I don't know Benny Johnson. I don't know him at all. I don't know what he stands for. I don't know anything about him. When I saw her attacking him. So Viciously, I decided I'm standing with Benny Johnson, at least for this. It's not a hard one. Benny Johnson versus Marjorie Trader Greene. I'd stand with Benny Hanna. I'd stand with Benny, anybody. Wouldn't you, Mr. Producer? Yes, Marjorie Trader. She's still out there. Somebody needs to put mittens on her hands so she can't keep hitting those keyboards. What a coward who quit her job but not too early. She made sure she got her lifetime pension. She became multimillionaire while she was a Congress idiot. And she says there's a third way, a moderate way, a middle way. She's over there at the View, which of course their view is through their ass. No offense, but it is.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Oh, yes, yes.

[Mark Levin]

She's.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

She's fantastic. There's Tim Kaine. Quislings, appeasers, radical pacifists. Worse, they pay the enemy to build nuclear weapons.

[Mark Levin]

Pay it. Pay it.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Chuck Schumer is absolutely a useless buffoon. He's another one of them. Like Chris Murphy gets out of law school and he gets elected to office. And he's been doing it ever since in safe Democrat seats. They have no perspective, no context for anything. Zero. This is all they know to attack,

[Mark Levin]

attack, attack our country.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Attack, attack, attack Republicans. Listen to this idiot on the floor today of the Senate. Cut nine. Go on.

[Mark Levin]

China Just a day into Trump's trip to China and he hasn't done anything to ease concerns that he might sell out America.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Now what does that mean, sell out America? Is this not incredible? Go ahead.

[Mark Levin]

He arrived with a posse of billionaires in tow, including his own son who oversees the family business. This kind of.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Did this guy ever burp when it came to Hunter Biden? Did he? Go ahead.

[Mark Levin]

Just incredible. So much for fighting against how China is hurting American workers and poisoning our communities. Now how does he know that?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

He's not. He is fighting against China on fentanyl and other fronts too. We don't have all the details yet of what took place and they're already attacking him. They're already attacking him. Selling out America. I mean, that's what Bernie Sanders does every day. That's what the Democrats do every day.

[Mark Levin]

You know, Bernie Sanders and AOC have

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

a great idea, Mr. Producer.

[Mark Levin]

You know those huge buildings where they have all those computers? We call it the cloud, we call it data centers and those sort of things. Well, Bernie Sanders and AOC have a proposed bill to freeze the building of these, of these centers which would immediately kill AI and other technological advances and hand the whole kitten caboodle over the communist Chinese. And you don't hear Schumer talk about that now do you? Now this is the enemy within. They literally want to hand AI over to the communist Chinese.

[Gordon Chang]

You got it?

[Mark Levin]

You think I'm kidding? Remember also the reports from Fox Digital that these so called Democratic Socialists of America, dsa, in other words, American little commie bastards. Remember when they went over there and met with China? They went to conferences in China. Where else did they go? Venezuela. When Maduro was in charge of it, where else did they go? To Cuba. They went there too. Why do I use that pronunciation? Because that's Bernie Sanders pronunciation. I assume he knows what he's talking about.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

When it comes to communism,

[Mark Levin]

we literally have these Marxists selling us out from within. Members of Congress, members of Congress and this dumb bet. This dumb. You know what? This Chuck Schumer sits there and is attacking Trump

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

in a sell us out. Look at all the billionaires he brings with.

[Mark Levin]

So what if he brings billionaires? So what? These are the titans of industry who can make a big difference for our country. Creating jobs, creating services, creating things that we want. New technologies and medicine and God knows what else. Why do we attack our most successful industries? Why do we attack our most successful people when the rest of the world wants to emulate us? Why is that? They're stealing our technology overseas. Well, we're creating it and we're creating it despite Bernie Sanders and AOC and these other reprobates. They literally want to turn AI over to the communist Chinese by a federal law limiting our ability to build these facilities and the energy needed to run them.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I mean this is just unbelievable.

[Mark Levin]

We just need to import more in slumists, don't you know. Yeah, that'll do it. That'll fix it.

[Mark Levin]

How are.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Yes, there's a prosecutor so called commonwealth attorney in Fairfax, Virginia. By far the biggest, most populated county I should say in Virginia. It's the tail of wags the dogs around here. And he's a Soros prosecutor. In other words, he's a disaster. And several people have lost their lives in Fairfax county from illegal aliens who should have been detained and deported. But his office doesn't believe in that. The Governor doesn't believe in it even though the Governor Scamberger had said she did, but she doesn't. His name is Steve Descano, D E

He was in a hearing in the House today and he's being questioned by Representative Van Drew is a very good representative from South Jersey, Vineland, New Jersey and so forth. And every summer when we would Drive virtually every weekend from the Philadelphia area to Atlantic City. We would drive through. We could go Route 40 west and drive through his district. Still there, beautiful little towns, farmland. And I will never forget there was a ice cream place called Richland's, since been knocked down where we and the

[Mark Levin]

kids would go there, we get a

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

hot dog, they would get some ice cream. And also they have and still have vegetable and fruit stands. Most of it's grown right there in South Jersey. Everybody loves Jersey tomatoes. They love them the best in the world, really. They've great peaches and all the rest of it. And they even have a cow town, they call it, with a big cowboy holding, you know, the rope, big statue. And they have every weekend there they had some events and all just very, very cool. Anyway, that's Van Drew's district and now he's questioning this, this phony prosecutor, so called Commonwealth's attorney A. Soros. A soros clown. Cut 10. Go.

[Representative Van Drew]

Are American communities safer when illegal immigrants who commit crimes are deported or when they remain in those communities? Are they safe for when they're deported? Communities? Yes or no? Just yes or no.

[Steve Descano]

Well, sir, that's not yes or no?

[Representative Van Drew]

Yes or no, sir? I'm asking the question and I'm trying to answer them.

[Steve Descano]

No, you are asking me a question that's outside of my purview.

[Representative Van Drew]

You were down there, asked you questions. You're a human being. You're sitting next to a woman who lost her daughter. Can you tell me if illegal criminals are to remove from the country if we're safer?

[Steve Descano]

And to suggest that I don't care about what happens in.

[Representative Van Drew]

In my community? This is my go to work every day. You are going to answer my question.

[Steve Descano]

My community.

[Representative Van Drew]

You are going to answer my questions. You don't show any discipline when I'm asked questions, I answer them. So you're not willing to answer that question. Okay.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Yeah. How hard is it to say yeah, Illegal immigrants who commit crimes if they're

[Mark Levin]

not deported, they are a threat in our own country, are they not? As a matter of fact, America

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

cut 11. Go.

[Steve Descano]

Well, Mr. Descano, your policy tells prosecutors

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

to give lighter treatment to defendants based on their immigration status.

[Steve Descano]

Isn't that just discrimination with a sympathetic face?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

And why are you protecting criminal illegal

[Steve Descano]

aliens more than the people of Fairfax County?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

It's representative citizens.

[Steve Descano]

Well, first of all, sir, I think there's two things wrong with in the question that you asked me. We're not protecting undocumented individuals. As a matter of fact, we prosecute people who commit crimes in Fairfax county, regardless of their status.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

And we.

[Steve Descano]

And, you know, so the idea that we don't is simply wrong. Our policies simply maintain that our role is to prosecute Virginia crime. That's what we do. ICE's role is to do federal civil immigration enforcement. Mr. Minares, you disagree with that?

[Congressman Brandon Gill]

Fundamentally. Has a written policy to that effect. He is conflating two different issues. He is simply saying, why prosecute all crimes? At the same time, he has a written policy saying that illegal immigrants are going to be treated and given preferential treatment differently from American citizens. On one hand, he sits in front of this committee and says, we don't follow sanctuary policies. At the same time, he openly admits he conducts himself in a manner in which he does not cooperate. Federal immigration authorities. That's the very definition of. Of sanctuary policies. No, I fundamentally disagree with his assessment. There are 95 counties in Virginia, Congressman. Only one county with one prosecutor has a written policy saying we're going to treat illegal immigrants differently than American citizens. It is Mr. Toscano, to my left. Period. Full stop.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

There you go. We're not done with Mr. Moscano. Let's see here. Let me. He's now being questioned by the great chairman of the committee, the House Judiciary Committee, representative Jordan. Cut 12. Go.

[Representative Jordan]

I want you to answer the first question I said, which was about the case. Why did you change your website?

[Steve Descano]

Well, sir, because the website is not my policy. My policy.

[Representative Jordan]

This is your campaign website where you said, our office will take immigration consequences into account when making charging and plea decisions. Immigration consequences were certainly part of the game here, part of the issue here with Mr. Morales Ortiz.

[Steve Descano]

No, they weren't.

[Representative Jordan]

You decided.

[Steve Descano]

Absolutely were not. You are. You are assuming something that is not. That is, in fact, untrue because you are misrepresenting my policies. My policies do not say that we do not prosecute.

[Representative Jordan]

Well, if you're proud of your policies, why'd you change your website?

[Steve Descano]

Because that's not my policy, as I told you. Told you, sir, that was a campaign statement that I made before I was

[Representative Jordan]

up for six years. A week after we send you a letter saying we want you to come testify, shazam, you change it. Because I could ask, is that coincidental?

[Steve Descano]

Because I could not believe that somebody. That people were so obtuse that they could not realize what the difference between a campaign statement and an actual office policy.

[Representative Jordan]

When you make campaign statements, that's not. Those aren't true. You're not being honest with. With your voters.

[Steve Descano]

That's not what I'm saying. At all, sir.

[Representative Jordan]

Sounded like saying sure sounded like it.

[Steve Descano]

It's absolutely not. What I'm saying is that when you.

[Representative Jordan]

You still haven't told me why. You still haven't told me why you took it down.

[Steve Descano]

Because I was hoping to come here to talk about my office policies, not be distracted by a campaign statement. That was a year before I was actually Commonwealth Attorney General and had any cases that were mine.

[Representative Jordan]

This is almost laughable. This is your policy. You said it right here. You told the voters if you elect me, I will take into account immigration content consequences when making charging and pleading.

[Steve Descano]

This is my policy, not what you have in your hand.

[Representative Jordan]

Okay, so what you said to the voters is not. Not real. Doesn't count.

[Steve Descano]

No, sir, what I'm saying is that as an office holder I just find it interesting is run by my policy.

[Representative Jordan]

Your sheriff said you wouldn't prosecute. This guy gets released, kills someone the next day we start asking about it. You change your website and take down the statements that that say you're going to take into account immigration consequences when you decide you are going to.

[Steve Descano]

Has been public the entire time I've been in office, sir.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Boy, what a jerk. What a fraud. This prosecutor in Fairfax County, Virginia is one more Brad Knott, Republican, North Carolina dealing with this discano guy cut 13 go.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

You then reduced the abduction charge to an offense that was a lower degree and capped the sentence at 10 years. When you entered into a plea agreement, you tried to bind the court. Bind the court so they could not sentence this person to any term over two years. Is that not correct?

[Steve Descano]

Sir, I'm so glad you brought this.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

Is that not correct?

[Steve Descano]

Well, because I would like to explain.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

It is correct and the court rejected it.

[Steve Descano]

Sir, I know I'm talking.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

It was a judge that was appointed by Senator Warner. This is not a right wing judge, this is a liberal judge. And you know why he rejected it, sir? He saw what you should have seen. Talk about cited overwhelming evidence.

[Steve Descano]

Can we talk about the evidence? This person was a. I know it and you don't.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

Quit talking and I would love to hear threat he yanked a four year old girl out of her bed with the intent to harm her and you wanted to give her a cap of two years.

[Steve Descano]

Sir, this is.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

Then when the plea agreement was rejected, what did you do?

[Steve Descano]

Sir, this is what did you do? This is a great example of a

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

case, you know, I prosecuted.

[Mark Levin]

I prosecuted, you understand?

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

And when you're evading like that, you know what that's a sign of guilt. What did you do? So you dismissed the case, Sir.

[Steve Descano]

Can I, Mr. About this when you want to know about it so much?

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

Quiet. When you dismiss a case, what happens to that defendant?

[Congressman Brandon Gill]

He walks free.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Walks free.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

A disgusting perverted individual preying on children that you dismissed the case as the father of two young girls. One of them's five, that is.

[Gordon Chang]

I have a daughter too.

[Steve Descano]

I don't care about people in my.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

Clearly don't.

[Steve Descano]

Absolutely.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

You dismiss the case and it's shameful, sir. You're a coward.

[Steve Descano]

You won't even let me talk to you about the case.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

Indefensible, sir.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I yield back. And I was wrong. One more great Congressman. They're doing fantastic job with this Soros so called prosecutor. Representative Brandon Gill dealing with Descano, the Commonwealth's Attorney in Fairfax, Virginia, where people are dying because illegal aliens, criminals are not being removed and they're not cooperating with the feds. And this is the kind of hearing that matters, especially when somebody like me and Mr. Produce are on top of this and we're playing it for you. Cut 14, go.

[Congressman Brandon Gill (continued)]

I want to better understand how you weigh an illegal alien's immigration status whenever you're making charging decisions. Do you, do you know who under Jose Cortez Mendez is? Are you familiar with that case?

[Steve Descano]

Yes, sir.

[Tommy Robinson]

Okay.

[Congressman Brandon Gill (continued)]

This is a Guatemalan illegal alien who was arrested in March of 2024. He was initially charged with, quote, carnal knowledge of a 13 to 14 year old. Just for, for those of us who aren't lawyers, can you describe just very briefly, what, what does carnal knowledge of a 13 to 14 year old mean in this Congress context?

[Steve Descano]

Well, sir, generally the. A charge like that would typically refer to underage sex.

[Congressman Brandon Gill (continued)]

Okay, so he, so he raped an underage person, an illegal alien who raped an underage American. Your office reduced those charges to a misdemeanor charge of consensual sex with a child 15 years and older. You offered him a 90 day suspended jail sentence, is that correct, sir?

[Steve Descano]

Based on the evidence that we had in the case.

[Congressman Brandon Gill (continued)]

So it is correct.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

So it is correct. The Democrats in Fairfax county, and there are a lot of them, you sway the elections all over the state of Virginia. You proud of this? This man's been exposed a thousand ways. Thanks to the Republicans that control the House Judiciary Committee. And if the Democrats take over, it'll never see the light of day. You proud of this? Democrats in Fairfax county who voted for this guy? I'm just asking you just a kind of county you want because that's what you've got. This is what you have now, the scan of discuzzle. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Man, we got a power hour left. We also have our friend Gordon Chang coming on to talk about the China trip. Now, Gordon Chang is with a group called the Gatestone Institute. He's a senior fellow there. It's one of my favorite groups of all, one of my favorite groups at all. Not just a think tank. They write some of the most brilliant papers on topics that are very, very important. How much time do we have, Mr. Producer? Okay. No time to do anything really. When we come back, I want you to hear from a man I respect enormously. Tommy Robinson came out of working class neighborhood. He has been an outspoken individual about what's taking place in that country. He speaks up for the Christian faith,

[Mark Levin]

He speaks up for the Jewish faith. He speaks up for the British people. He came to the United States not long ago.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

We had him on the program and

[Mark Levin]

Eric Stockelbach had him on his program.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

And let me tell you about Eric, one of the best in the business. I'm a big fan of his.

[Mark Levin]

I can't.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I can't go on all these shows just because I'm too busy. But I do like doing his show. Eric Stockelbach is really terrific.

[Mark Levin]

And I want you to hear what he has to say.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Tommy Robinson.

[Mark Levin]

Because what's going on in our country has already gone on in Britain, in France and in Germany and As he points out, London is gone. Paris is gone. Berlin is gone. And more than that.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

And more than that.

[Mark Levin]

See, the Israelis know this and they will fight to the end. We apparently don't.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Well, half of us do.

[Mark Levin]

The other half doesn't. The problem is the other half can bring down all the rest of us. Remember the people were saying, well, let Mondami win in New York and then people will see how bad it is. That's not how you save your country. By giving up your biggest city to Islamists and Marxists, to people who are going to destroy that great city. That's not how you fight this. You fight every damn inch.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I'll be right back. As Operation Epic Fury intensifies, the world braces for what's to come next. And people of faith pray for freedom and for God's people in the Holy Land to be protected. And in the Holy Land.

[Mark Levin]

Red alert sirens fill the air. Sirens that give you only 15 seconds

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

to reach the nearest bomb shelter. The situation is serious. The threat is real.

[Mark Levin]

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

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies.

[Mark Levin]

This aid is focused on Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly, children, families in great need. But the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews need your most generous gift today to make this work possible. So please rush your gift, which is tax deductible, by calling right away. 888-585 IFCJ. That's 888585 IFCJ or online at levin for the fellowship.org that's L E V I N for the fellowship.org he's here.

[Announcer/Narrator]

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

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-813811-87738-13811.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Tommy Robinson with Eric Stackelbeck. March 2026 Listen to this. It's important. Cut 15. Go. I think the average American may not

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

realize that Islam is making massive, and

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I mean massive, inroads in the uk.

[Representative Van Drew (continued)]

Where are we at right now?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Because I see the UK as really the front line for the fight in the struggle for Western civilization because of the Islamic advances there.

[Tommy Robinson]

London's gone, Paris is gone. Berlin's gone. The visuals you think of, they're gone. 33% of London is English. And the warning I bring to America is I'm not to talk to you about what I've read in a book. I'm going to talk to you about what I saw.

[Caller Ryan Reynolds]

You're living.

[Tommy Robinson]

When I was born in 1982, we had one mosque in my hometown. We now have 45. I've seen the decay. I've seen the attack on freedom. But I've also seen the unholy alliance of the left, along with the police, along with the media, along with the Islamists, how they all unite together. And I've witnessed that. The way I say unite together. The left surrender to them. The government surrenders them. Politicians surrender to them. So they rule with fear. And fear has paralyzed an entire nation. A nation of lions. And the warning I bring to America is, this isn't far away now. It's here. I've come and landed in Texas. I've gone to Plano. I've interviewed. I don't know if you've seen the interview or done.

[Admiral Brad Cooper]

I have.

[Tommy Robinson]

So I've sat and met journalists. I've sat at politicians. I thought it was important to meet everyday American people. And I sat with a couple who have now fled, you know, because.

[Donald Trump]

And.

[Tommy Robinson]

And she cries her eyes out. Her grandmother lived there, her mother lived there. She's been forced to leave after harassment by the imported Islamic community. I went to one of these huge compounds. Let's not call it a mosque, because it's not. It's an entire community.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

It is.

[Tommy Robinson]

The roads are called Medina Villas. And I've seen this.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

This is.

[Tommy Robinson]

The seed has been planted. You need to understand what has happened to your country over the last eight years. Since Joe Biden opened your borders. You were used to Hispanic, Mexican immigration. Well, not anymore. Pakistani, Afghanistan, Somali. They have been bought in. It's planned. Ask yourself this as an American audience. Why have Somalians come from the hottest place in the world and found themselves in Minnesota, the coldest place in America? They haven't chose to go there.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

They've been put there.

[Tommy Robinson]

Your border's been opened. Your country's been flooded. 700. Legal immigration went up 700 in your swing states. They don't want there to ever be a swing state. They were changing the demographic of the vote bank. Now, I've seen how this operates, and I've seen the power.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Mm. He's heroic. Absolutely heroic. They've Put him in jail over there. They've tried to shut him down. They don't have any free speech over there, pretty much, unless you're Islamist. The British are telling us. Tommy Robinson is telling us. Tommy Robinson isn't a professor. He's not an elitist, he's not an author. He's none of these things things. He's a blue collar, hard working man who grew up in a tough neighborhood. And he said his community had one mosque, now they have 45. This is all intentional. He said 33% of London. London, London proper is actually English. Still, that is shocking. The last time I was In London, maybe 20 some years ago, this wasn't even an issue. It's happened so fast and it's happening now. The left, you know, we've been talking about this forever, but the left is not only in alliance and collusion with these, these forces, it's bringing them into the country. That's what they're doing. I try to bring you as often as I can some of these clips from individuals in our country of Florida. Islamic Imam Mohammed Musery in San Francisco a year or two ago.

[Mark Levin]

Hat tip.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Memory again. Get that site bookmark at me. MRI.org MEMRI.org it's one of the best sites in existence. I want you to listen to this man and he's one of thousands and thousands.

[Mark Levin]

Cut 20, go.

[Chinese Interpreter]

We are buying these churches. We bought three churches so far, converted them to masjids, and now we have one. We are buying with a school to make it because we have to serve the same people, the people who were part of that community. One day they will be Muslims. So we'll make it into a masjid and an Islamic school for our children and their children. Inshaallah. 100 years ago they invaded the Muslim world and they built missionary schools and destroyed Islamic schools and masjids today.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Okay, that's a lie. I don't know what he's talking about hundreds of years ago. He's talking about the Christian Crusade. The Christian Crusade came about because of 400 years of Muslim conquest in the Holy Land. Holy Land sites in Europe and throughout much of the world. And so back then, the Pope organized the response. The Christian Crusades, they were brutal.

[Mark Levin]

But after 400 years, you see what

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

they did, right, at the Nova Festival, at these kibbutzim. You see what they did with the hostages. This is what they do when they conquer or they attack other people. This is what they do in Iran. This is what they're doing to those people there. As the Democrats turn Their backs as our media and the Democrats and others in this country. The woke right Neo fascists still talk, still talk as if Israel did something

[Mark Levin]

or they don't talk about what those Christians are going through in three, at least three African countries. They don't even mention the Christians in Syria. They don't mention the Christians in China who are being brutalized either. I hate these people, these phony podcasters, all of them. Well, not all of them.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

The good ones are the good one.

[Mark Levin]

The woke right Neo fascists despise every damn one of them. And it is shocking that Joe Rogan is the biggest podcast in America. That won't last. You want to know why? Because the American people aren't going to put up with it. He can do his UFC stuff, he can do the other stuff, he can do whatever he wants. But when he opens his big mouth, it's clear where he stands. It's clear what he is. And that's a fact. And he's not alone. Not by a long shot. Yeah, ask me if I give a damn how big their audiences are.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Asked me.

[Mark Levin]

Stalin had big audiences. Mao had big audience. He'd go right down the list. So what? So damn what? Father Coughlin had massive audiences in the 1940s. Massive. And the crap that he spewed. That's right. So what? History will treat these people as they

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

deserve to be treated.

[Mark Levin]

You know what's interesting? We remember during the 30s and 40s, who fought back. We remember the righteous Gentiles who fought back. We remember the Jews who fought back. We remember the Americans, regardless of faith, who fought back. The Europeans who fought back. We despise those who gave aid and comfort to the access powers that the Third Reich.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

This is getting very bad.

[Mark Levin]

Very bad. It's time for all patriots to speak out. I don't care if you speak out at the. At the corner deli, at the pizzeria, at the wegmans or the CVS or the 7 11. I don't care if you talk back. At the pub, on the bus, on the subway. Although they'll probably take your life in your own hands. But you understand what I mean. We don't have to sit here silently while our country is being invaded and destroyed. Look at me. Yes, I have a microphone. Yes, I have a camera. The good thing is I can spread the word. The bad thing is the bad guys

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

here too, if you know what I'm saying, Mr. Medusa.

[Mark Levin]

But I'm never gonna stop.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Never. Certainly not of my own free will, that's for sure. We'll be right back.

[Announcer/Narrator]

MUD Levin, FOREIGN.

[Mark Levin]

With Donald Trump backing off as one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal strong security. But Senator Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about help consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate megastores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Durbin's fail policies before. His last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs and fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. Learn [e-mail] that's guardyourcard.com paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Well, it's great to have our friend Gordon Chang on. He's in great demand tonight and yesterday. Gordon, how are you, my friend?

[Gordon Chang]

I'm fine, Mark, and thank you so much.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

It's a pleasure. Senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute. I'm a huge fan of the Gatestone Institute.

[Mark Levin]

What do you make of what you're

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

seeing so far in Communist China, Gordon?

[Gordon Chang]

Xi Jinping has been incredibly arrogant. So for today, in the conversation that they had between Trump and Xi Jinping at the ceremony at the Great hall of the People, Xi Jinping mentioned the Thucydides trap. That's in reference to ancient Greece where you had the wars between Sparta and Athens. And really what Xi Jinping was saying was that it's about a, a rising power challenging a declining hegemon. And Xi Jinping has talked about the United States as in terminal decline. So really what he was doing was in front of Trump saying to the United States, you're no longer in charge. You are a declining in power in terminal decline. And this really is important because he reinforced that message when Xi Jinping talked about the quote, unquote, new era. In Xi Jinping speak, that is where China rules the world. So it was a double barreled insult to the president of the United States and to all the people of our country as well.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I hear you saying this, but other people don't seem to notice. This isn't that troubling?

[Gordon Chang]

It is troubling and it was an obscure reference. Graham Allison, who was a Harvard scholar, wrote a book about destined for War. Can We Escape the Thucydides Trap? And so, you know, among, you know, certain people, I guess in New York and Washington, it must have really rung a bell. And I guess Xi Jinping was trying to be subtle about it because he did couch the reference to ancient Greece in nice words. But nonetheless, we have to understand what he's been saying for quite some time and what he means by these obscure references.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

I don't feel like on this side of the the planet, we get it when it comes to communist China. I mean, we get it to a point, I suppose, but there was an article written by Niall Ferguson talking about detente with China while China's focus is conquering Taiwan. You take that approach, too?

[Gordon Chang]

Yes. I mean, the problem is that we are not listening to what Xi Jinping has been saying. And he talks in warlike terms all the time, and not just to the Chinese military, but to the broader Chinese public as well. You know, we have a president who doesn't want to speak in those terms. And that has been generally what American presidents have done. Tried to coax the Chinese, tried to engage them, try to entice them into good behavior, while Beijing speaks in corrosive, very malicious tones. And I've always worried that although we're a far stronger society than China, we can lose our country because we are not. We're not defending ourselves with the vigor and determination that is necessary because we're not talking about what the Chinese are saying and doing. And if you start to connect the dots, it gets really, really disturbing.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

And we do need to significantly increase our military spending to the percentage of the GTP under Ronald Reagan gdp, and that will take another half a trillion dollars. And right away, you hear people complaining, we can't do it.

[Mark Levin]

So we can afford all kinds of

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

new entitlement programs, redistribution of wealth, subsidizing illegal aliens, and on and on and on. But when it comes to our own security, I just think many Americans, particularly on the left in the Democrat party, many Americans have gotten used to peace,

[Mark Levin]

and so they just think it's.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

It's the natural state of things. It's not the natural state of things when you have these evil empires on the move. Am I right?

[Gordon Chang]

Yes. You know, and really what we've got, Mark, is we need to have a national conversation where the President of the United States tells us where we are. So, for instance, we have these two Chinese Americans who planted a bomb near the visitor center of MacDill Air Force Base. And that was a warning from the Chinese regime to President Trump. And we need to understand exactly what's going on here, because that had all the hallmarks of a Ministry of State Security operation that was meant to actually not detonate the bomb, but to warn Americans.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

By the way, as a side issue, when I looked at Xi, he didn't look healthy to me, looked overweight. His face looked drawn. Am I wrong about that? He didn't look great.

[Gordon Chang]

No, he hasn't looked great. And he has been out of the public eye for, you know, a month here and a month there. We don't know exactly what was going on. He could have been under treatment. The other thing that could have occurred is that his hero is Mao Zedong. And Mao used to do that as well, to disappear for weeks at a time. And he did that because he wanted to see what would happen in his absence, to see who might come out against him. So there could be a number of reasons for it. But Xi Jinping is rumored to be in poor health. And you can imagine it because you can see it from his face and from his body.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Now, last time we spoke, he was sort of taking out the top military and intel people. You mean people who were supposedly close to him. How's that sorted out, if it's sorted out at all?

[Gordon Chang]

The purges are intensifying. Two former defense ministers who see him being appointed were recently handled death sentences, which would be commuted to life in prison if they're good behavior for two years. And it shows you that once purges start, they're very hard to stop. This is what we learned during the Stalinist period, and we're seeing again in China, Xi Jinping. You know, people say, and you see headlines on this all the time, that whenever he removes a senior military officer, they say that Xi is in absolute control of the Chinese military. Well, that can't be right, Mark. And the reason is that once Xi Jinping removes people, it means he hasn't controlled the institution, because if he did, he wouldn't need to remove people. And it shows that despite his power to remove generals and admirals, the institution doesn't change. And so we see the disarray at the top of the Chinese military in, let's say, over the last couple of years, it's been intensifying. And that means that there's no end in sight, at least at this moment. Give you an example of how bad this is. The People's Liberation army is controlled by the Communist Party's Central Military Commission, which normally has seven people on it now. It has only two after all the purges, and those two are Xi Jinping himself, who's not a military officer, and a general who is a political commissar. In other words, someone who does not have operational responsibilities. So we see a Chinese military that, although it has some really great weapons and is certainly very large, doesn't have the ability to launch major operations against, for instance, the main island of Taiwan because there are no senior generals and admirals to coordinate such an operation.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Let me ask you this. Well, we're going to take a short break. I'd like to carry over. I have a few more questions for if you don't mind. We're talking to Gordon Chang, Gatestone Institute senior fellow, good friend of the program as well. My question to you is this, is T Taiwan or Formosa ever been part of mainland China? And on what basis does he claim that it ought to be? We'll be right back.

[Announcer/Narrator]

Mike Pepin, the Thunder on the Right call in now, 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

We're here with Gordon Chang, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute. You can follow him, comment, support him on Twitter. Gordon G. Chang at Twitter Gordon G. Chang at Twitter. He posts some really smart and interesting stuff. So when did Taiwan become part of mainland China? Gordon?

[Gordon Chang]

Well, it certainly hasn't been. This is one of the great questions of history, because no Chinese ruling group has ever held indisputable sovereignty to Taiwan. The Qing Dynasty, which was people consider it to be the last imperial dynasty in China, was not considered to be Chinese by the Chinese themselves because the invading Manchus took over in the 17th century. So they the Manchus, the Qings actually did assume sovereignty over Taiwan. But in 1895, the Japanese, after the First Sino Japanese War, took it over and then the Qings fell. Now, Chiang Kai Shek, who was Chinese, did take control of Taiwan in 1949. But the 1951 San Francisco Treaty, which solved most of the legal issues following the Second World War in Asia, did not give indisputable sovereignty to Chiang Kai Shek. It left the question blank. So as I said, no Chinese regime has ever held indisputable sovereignty to the island of Taiwan and certainly the People's Republic, China has never had control of Taiwan.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

And why did they not include Taiwan when they were making that pact?

[Gordon Chang]

You know, I don't know the answer to that question, but there was a lot of controversy over Chiang Kai shek in the 1940s. And so I think it's because there was real ambivalence about his rule. Now, in hindsight, you know, people may have said that was the wrong decision, but in 1951, when they inked the San Francisco Treaty, they left the issue of sovereignty over Taiwan unresolved.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

The issue of Taiwan unresolved. Now here's my concern. You say that China's leader, military leadership, is such that a direct attack is unlikely or would be problematic anyway, at least right now. But what if they try an economic choke hold on the island?

[Gordon Chang]

Well, they have tried that. And I think that the reason why it hasn't worked is because most of the people in Taiwan self identify as Taiwanese only. So if you look at self identification surveys, generally speaking, you get about 2/3 of the population say they're Taiwanese, and you get about 3 or 4 or maybe 5%, but usually 3 and 4 these days say that they're Chinese. What's really bad for China is that under the younger age cohorts we're Talking about the 16 to 24 year olds, it's over 80% identify as Taiwanese only. So yes, the Chinese can do all sorts of things, control the media, cultural attempts, economic attempts, but people there don't think they're Chinese, and so therefore they resist because we know that culture is the most important determinant.

[Mark Levin]

Here's what I mean, though.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

What if they militarily encircle the island, you know, like their own form of a blockade and so forth. And do you think we'll airlift things into Taiwan? You think we would do that?

[Gordon Chang]

I think that we would. And the reason, there are a lot of reasons for it. And one of them is that we wouldn't have semiconductors because there's one Taiwanese company that accounts that builds 92% of the world's sophisticated semiconductors. The other 8% are manufactured by Samsung and others in South Korea, which right now is going hard leftist. So we could end up with the world if we didn't support Taiwan. We could end up with a world where the US would have no semiconductors, at least the sophisticated ones at all. And I don't think that the United States would let that happen. But we have a lot of other reasons why to support Taiwan. One of them is that Taiwan has been at the center of our Western defense perimeter since the 1800s. It prevents the Chinese air force and navy from surging into the western Pacific. So Taiwan is our front line, and we do not want the Chinese navy floating over California or Hawaii. But also, after the catastrophic withdrawal of Afghanistan, Taiwan has become a test of the credibility of the United States. And also we cannot allow totalitarian state of China to absorb any democracy because they would launch an enormous publicity war, propaganda war against us, trying to tell the world that we were done. So I think that we would defend Taiwan.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Why do you think people want some kind of arrangements with China when it comes to this? Because look what they did with Hong Kong. They had to deal with Britain and they just blew past it, right?

[Gordon Chang]

They did. And, you know, that's interesting because in 2019, they had the big protests in Hong Kong. Those were significant for Taiwan because Hong Kong was supposed to be ruled under this one country, two systems formula that was developed not for Hong Kong, but for Taiwan. But the Chinese first applied it in Hong Kong, and what happened was fascinating. Tsai Ing Wen was the president of Taiwan then. She's from the Democratic Progressive Party, the pro Taiwan Party. She was not going to get the nomination of her party to run for reelection as president until those protests occurred in Hong Kong. After they occurred, the people in Taiwan said, oh, my gosh, we don't want this for us. We're not going to vote for the pro China party. Tsai Ing Wen got the nomination of her party to run for reelection, and she won in an historic landslide. So that shows you that the Chinese, what they do often, you know, is very powerful, but what they do is get the opposite of result with what they want.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Very, very interesting. Is there a backup to Xi? Is there a number two sitting there ready, or.

[Caller Ryan Reynolds]

I don't.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

If there is, I wonder who it would be.

[Gordon Chang]

Yeah, there are various people who are considered to be a backup. One guy has emerged recently. He's the guy who shook President Trump's hand second after Xi Jinping today. But really, there is no number two in China. There's only number one. Because what we have seen over the last four or five years are a number of people circulate through what is considered to be the number two spot, and they change. So really, in that system, Xi Jinping does not want a real number two, because then he would be worried about being replaced by the number two. This occurs in so many totalitarian and authoritarian states. So the most dangerous job in the world is being the number two to, for instance, Kim Jong Un. And the second most dangerous job in the world is being number two to Xi Jinping.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Mm, very good. Well, you're a fountain of knowledge, and we really appreciate it. Gordon Chang, the Gatestone Institute. And you can check him out. Tell everybody where you are. You're on Gordon G. Chang at Twitter. Correct?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

You got it. Take care. Isn't he great? Yes, he is. Very good. We'll be right back.

Great, Mark, how are you?

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Very well, thank you, Mark.

[Caller Ryan Reynolds]

My girlfriend is. My girlfriend has a photograph of her holding a London Times and oh7 that reads the end of Europe as we know it. But as far as Iran, I, I think Trump is brilliant because a former IEA inspector said that he's a, he's a nuclear engineer. He said we do not know the entire of what's going on there. It's a puzzle, missing pieces. And another inspector said that we have to be sure to focus on one thing and one thing only, and that is the nuclear weapon, nuclear fuel. Because if they disperse it to radicals around the world, they could wreak habit havoc all over the world, including China, and it would be harder for us to detect and harder for us to control at that time. So we've got to wait, be patient, hold off, but get, you know, get it because we have to have control of it. And I'm sure MASSAD is in there buying and getting all the information, but

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

they can't be there forever and nobody can. And that's the problem. You can be patient to a point, but the American people have lost their patience. And this worries me a lot. It worries me a lot. And not only that, I think if there's not the elimination of this regime, they will be right back at this. Maybe It'll be in five years or 10 years, but our kids and grandkids are going to have to deal with it. That's my concern. The other thing that people aren't talking about, if I may raise this is plutonium. They were making, refining plutonium, which of course is another major element in making a bomb. And I'd love to know more about the plutonium issue as well. But we're going to be chasing these guys from one end of the world to the other. I don't think we're going to have the stick to itiveness with our military to be in the region forever to try and manage them and keep them in a box. I just don't particularly when we are going to have other issues to deal with, like Communist China and so forth. So to me, you don't get many opportunities when you have an enemy that is this weak and the window is open, but it closes to finally put the knife in their heart. That's my concern right now. But thank you for your call, my friend. I appreciate it. You know this guy Kristof, who wrote that horrendous article in the New York Times about. I mean, we've read these stories about goats and what goes on over there. I'm not going to even get into that. But it's the other way around, isn't it? Nonetheless, over at the Washington Free Beacon, they remind us Times columnist Christoph's father fought on the Nazi side in World War II. The Hamas prison rape dog propagandist's dad also defended Vichy war criminal, then committed suicide after decades of nightmares. And it was Kristof who wrote about it. Now New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof they read at the Free Beacon, whose article accusing Israel of using dogs and carrots to rape Palestinian prisoners is being denounced by the Israeli Foreign Ministry as Hamas propaganda, fabricated and a baselet blood libel. Had a father who served on the Nazi side during World War II. In Kristoff's 2024 memoir, Chasing Hope, he writes, when I was growing up and other kids talked about their dads heroically battling the Nazis, I kept quiet. I didn't want to admit that my father had actually fought for a year on the same side as the Nazis. Christophe's father also wrote a letter to the editor of The Times in 1989 defending Paul Tauveer. The intelligence chief of a pro Nazi militia in Vichy France was convicted of killing seven Jewish hostages. Christoph's father wrote that in World War II, in so many cases, it was sometimes difficult indeed to draw a sharp line between friend and enemy, patriot and traitor. Moral and immoral acts to do good, he wrote, you often had to do evil, too. Time and again, people had to quantify either their ethics. I am permitted to be this much immoral to achieve that much good, kill so many to save that many. And once the war ended, it was a question to what extent personal commitments or obligations taken under one set of circumstances were still binding.

[Mark Levin]

Totally different circumstances, moral and political.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

He sounds like a Nazi. By the way, Alex Soros posted that his father knows what anti Semitism is

[Mark Levin]

like, what a piece of crap that guy is. George Soros had no problem, no problem

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

working with a Nazi as a, I

[Mark Levin]

won't even say a child, a teenager, when they were selling the property of

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

his of his old neighbors out from under them. When I hear about those schmucks, the

[Mark Levin]

disclosure that Christoph's father served in the

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Romanian military on the Nazi side may help to explain, they write, why Kristoff

[Mark Levin]

would be so eager to demonize Israel, in particular when prison abuse cases are

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

plentiful worldwide and especially in New York. The Princeton historian Bernard Lewis, who had served Britain in World War II from 1940-45 in the Royal Armored Corps and Intelligence Corps and at M16, wrote a 2005 article in the American the New Anti Semitism, in which he observed that

[Mark Levin]

Jew baiting, Jew hating, or generally being

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

unpleasant to Jews serves a purpose by

[Mark Levin]

bringing non Jews a kind of relief,

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

wrote Lewis, for more than half a century, any discussion of Jews and their

[Mark Levin]

problems has been overshadowed by the grim memories of the crimes of the Nazis and of the complicity, acquiescence or indifference of so many others.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

Anyway, the point is, Kristoff's father fought for the Nazis and now his boy writes essentially for Hamas. That would be my take.

[Mark Levin]

We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, ice our truckers. And I want to thank all of you, you great Americans, red blooded Americans, and I'll see you right here tomorrow Friday.

[Mark Levin's Producer/Co-host]

God bless.
