It's all quiet in the underground bunker, doors closed, locks bolted. But the Great One isn't just resting on his laurels. He's making sure your weekend is even better by giving you his best. This is the best of Mark Levin.
Thanks for being here. Lots to cover. Start with a ram. Now, I'm very concerned that unless we do not undertake some kind of military operations better determined by our Pentagon and our Secretary of War, that the people in Iran will continue to be slaughtered. They will be demoralized and dispirited, that the protests will stop or slow and the Iranian regime will go through and start butchering, raping, torturing and. And just murdering people left and right now. Ladies and gentlemen, I have to say something to you. I don't know why, why this is taking so long. I really don't. And I don't want to hear about warmongers and neocons. We'll save that for the low IQ sloganeers of the Marxist Islamist sort and the neo fascist sort of. The Persian people were our allies. They are not Arabs, they are more Western and they want to be free. The Israelis knocked the crap out of the Iranian military. We blew out their nuclear sites. These people are starving. They don't have water, they don't have. That regime is not only a fundamentalist Islamic regime that is spreading terrorism in our hemisphere, in our country that tried to assassinate our president. But it is a regime that needs to be destroyed. Either you kill terrorists or they kill us. It is that simple. Oh, they want to talk to us. They don't want to talk to us in any rational way. The only reason they want to talk to us is to buy time so they can continue to kill people. This thing could be over in a week, two weeks, maybe less. And so they're hoping, they're hoping against hope that we will be suckers. And we'll buy into this talk stuff. What happened last time we spoke with them? Nothing. Nothing. They were breaking out with the nuclear weapons and then we hit them. Well, actually Israel hit them and then we hit the nuclear weapons. We're not trying to install a democracy. We're not trying to do anything. But there are times when we do help our fellow man. We can't help them everywhere and we can't help them all the time. But in this case, it helps us too. Imagine that regime is gone. The effects it will have on China and Russia and even Venezuela. Imagine that for a moment. It's in our national security interest. I know there is a mindset out there. There's a mindset out there that suggests. That suggests we should do nothing. I always like to have some perspectives, some history for us here, folks. We've never won a world war without allies. Never. And allies don't have to be in the form of government. They can be in the form of people. I've told you before about the Battle of Yorktown, that we would have lost the Revolutionary War and that fateful battle but for the French Navy. And the French went bankrupt after that battle. And it destroyed their government, really, their monarchy. Now, I'm not saying we should do the same. We don't need to do the same. We have an ally in the region that is filled with brave lions. Israel. We have people in our country who are full of hate and evil. They're degenerates. Just because I mentioned that name. These people are dangerous and they're psychos. You ask why we're aligned with Israel. It's reasons like this, isn't it? Most of the terrorism that is unleashed against the United States comes out of the Middle east, comes from Muslim countries almost exclusively. Israel is surrounded by those countries. We have an opportunity now to take out the Mothership. The Mothership of terrorism, the one that is involved in more terrorism than any other country on the face of the earth and has been for half a century, has killed God knows how many Americans. The people want to overthrow them, the vast majority of the people. And they're marching in the streets and they're being slaughtered. Slaughtered. Young. Young people. Young people. This is not only a fundamentalist Islamist, jihadist terrorist regime that slaughters its own people. It's a thugocracy. That is, the people who are in the government are getting filthy rich while the people outside of the government are suffering horribly. They're begging us for their help, for our help, that is. But even more, the President has promised it. I've counted five times, five times to take action. Five times. There's a story in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere that the vice President is pushing against military action and promoting diplomacy. I have to disagree with him on this. Diplomacy for what? Negotiate about what exactly? Every day that goes by, this regime has another opportunity to survive. They don't want to negotiate because they want to give up something. They want to negotiate so they survive. Let me put it to you this way. Our inaction ensures that that regime will survive. Those people do not have any arms. They don't have anything. Meanwhile, Iran is importing militia from Iraq. Iran, I have no doubt, they are importing militia from other parts of The Arab world and those people are dead ducks. I mean, to me, now that we have drawn not one red line, but five red lines, it is obvious that we've placed ourselves in a position where we must act. I don't mean a cyber attack. We have to act. And there's many things we can do, of course. Well, short of sending in troops, no troops are going to be sent in, and they don't need to be sent in. There is an understanding where certain of the military and others are based. They have special units to try and destroy their populations. They've arrested. I've seen estimates over 10 to 15,000 people already. Well, the head prosecutor for the whole country announced that they're going to start executing people and they're going to start executing people tomorrow to send a message. So by definition, that crossed the five red lines that we have set. That we have set. There are times when doing the right thing is doing the right thing. In my humble opinion, this is to the benefit of the United States. There is no question it is to the benefit of the Iranian people. There is no question it is a problem for the Iranian regime that is a terrorist regime. There is no question about that. There's almost a disconnect. A disconnect. There's like a struggle within the administration, I find from time to time at the mid level or the secondary level, that does not. It's not in sync with the president. It's just not in sync with the president. You literally have people in our country now, podcasters and phony influencers who side with the enemy. Openly, Openly side with the enemy. They used to dress themselves up as appeasers and pacifists and isolationists. No. Now they are mouthpieces for the enemy of the United States. They trash Jews and Christians. They trash law enforcement and ice. Now, it's really quite, quite shocking. And when you look at further, you see the overlays. I mean, we have a synagogue that was attacked almost. I think it was burned to the ground in Jackson, Mississippi. The biggest synagogue there, the only synagogue there. You have a synagogue in a yeshiva that is attacked in New York with Hamas chanting Islamists. You have efforts being made, efforts being made to create Islamist communities and areas that are separate and apart from the United States. All this stuff is going on, all of it. It's a big problem. There are things going on outside the country and inside the country that requires good people to stand up. There's an overlay to all this. It's a mentality. Let me ask you a question. You have a synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi, that's virtually burned to the ground. It's as old as can be. It was also attacked during the Civil War, and it receives almost no national attention. Little hits here and there. Now, I say this not to be offensive. I say this to make a point. If it were a black church that was burned to the ground in Mississippi, we'd hear about it day and night. And we should, And we should. So what gives? You've got Islamists in the middle of New York outside a synagogue with bullhorns, with drums, trying to prevent people from worshipping, worshiping in their own synagogue. TED AMERICAN and it receives minimal attention from the networks, minimal national attention. Is that okay? I I see our country tearing at the seams here. I see our country tearing at the seams for what I've been talking about for a long time now, this Marxist Islamist fusion now joined in by the old sort of clan neo Nazi types, the neo fascists. And it's a huge problem for we as Americans who believe in our founding and believe in our system. So I think this needs to be confronted, whether it's in Iran where they're slaughtering their own people, where they're calling out our names, calling out the president's name for help, because they're not going to they're not going to survive without us. So we have a choice to make, a moral choice. I've already given you some of the reasons substantively, but how about spiritually? MARK the VIN.

Making your weekend even better. This is the best of Mark Levin.
We've been talking about what's going on in Iran. We've been urging military action of some kind. I don't know. Special forces may be hitting certain units where we know they have troops located. Basically Gestapo who go in and murder citizens. They're now hanging people. These are young people. There are videos and photos and I have posted some on my various social sites where you can see how horrendous this is. They're just being shot in the streets. Bad back of the head, front of the face, in the chest. And it's horrendous. And CBS is reporting anywhere from 12 to 20,000 have been murdered. We'll get into all this. President, United States, this most recent comment as he was getting on Air Force One, heading back to the White House, convening a meeting to further determine what action to take. And I think he's ready to roll. It's just a matter of what exactly they do. Said the following cut 26 Go, Adam.
Donald Trump
Going back to the White House now. We're going to look at the whole situation that's going on in Iran. It's really bad stuff. Minnesota is going to have to take care of itself for a little while. We have tremendous theft and fraud going on in that state because you have an incompetent governor, grossly incompetent governor and a corrupt governor, but we'll straighten that out. But Iran is on my mind when I see the kind of death that is happening over there. We think so. We're going to get some accurate numbers. I'll have every about 20 minutes. We'll get some accurate numbers as to what's happening with regard to the killing. The killing looks like it's significant, but we don't know yet for certain. I'll know within 20 minutes. So and we'll act accordingly.
Mark Levin
And the killing is just horrendous. The Europeans have spoken out, said they oppose what's taking place and they've called the envoys in for a meeting. That's about as good as they're going to get. It's about as good as they're going to get. Then there's phony press that the Israelis really don't want this regime addressed because it could be a worse regime could come in. Of course, that's phony, too. The World War three guys, every time we, we do anything, they accuse us of wanting to start World War three there in high dungeon as always, shrieking about World War Three beginning. These young people are freedom fighters and when we turn our backs on them, we get Communist China, we get Cuba. In other words, it gets worse. It doesn't get better for us, the United States of America, it gets worse. I don't know how you can, how you can love this country and be compassionate and humane and be a democrat anymore. I just don't. Virtually every single one of them, with few exceptions, very few, has denounced what that regime is doing and then said we shouldn't do anything about it. Has denounced what that regime is doing, said we shouldn't do anything about it. I take note, and I think many of you will as well, of the lack of demonstrations in our country by the Marxist Islamists in support of and in defense of the people being slaughtered in Iran. I mean it's thousands and thousands by this regime. Now they claim to care about the rights of people, the right to vote. There is genocide taking place in Iran, real genocide. And they say nothing, zero. I notice the woke right neo fascists say nothing, zero. And you should keep this in mind because it tells you what they really believe in their heart and soul and in their their walnut sized brains. They favor these kinds of barbaric Islamist, Marxist police state or fascist regimes. They keep attacking capitalism, socialism, let's be honest, socialism is a myth, okay? The theory of socialism is a myth. It's an utter and complete myth. What they want is feudalism and they want feudalism, which means that a relative handful of people control everything. That's what they are. That's what you have in all these regimes. That's what you have in communist China at the top. That's what you have in Cuba, that's what you have in North Korea, that's what you have in Iran and so forth. These are fascistic feudal societies dressed up as people revolutions. Marxism, that is communism, call it what you wish, Marxism is the real name, but that's okay. Marxism is as phony as a three dollar bill. Marxism is a theory that's impossible even if it were beneficial and of course it's not, it's an impossible theory. Human beings are motivated for a billion different reasons. So this collective and we're all going to share the same thing and we're all going to be happy. Working for the state is preposterous. That's not how humanity works. That's not how government works. And so people have died. 100 million people have died for a defective phony ideology. Socialism is a fraud. Communism is a fraud. Islamism is barbaric and primitive back to the seventh century. They seek to conquer and control. They reject the Enlightenment, they reject constitutionalism, democracy. Where are these people in the street? This should demonstrate to anybody who has had questions about it once and for all that these people are dyed in the wall. Fascists, communists, Islamists, take your pick. All fused together to overthrow our country. In the west. Not for the good of the people, for their own grift, for their own power to advance their own cause. What you see going on in Iran is a fundamentalist Islamist government that is also corrupt mobster government where the imams become incredibly wealthy, where generals become incredibly wealthy. All in the name of faith, of course. All in the name of faith. Now, there's a lot to unravel here and I'm going to. But I want to raise another point. The Democrats and I've talked about this and I've written about it many, many times, but I want to bring it up again. Look in our streets. Look at Minneapolis. Look at New York. Look at la. Look in every major city in America and not just our cities. Look at Plano, Texas. Look outside of Houston. Look outside of Tampa. Look at Patterson, New Jersey. Look at Dearborn, Michigan. Look, look, look. The Democrats have militarized their various constituent groups again in support of the illegal alien stampede they created under the Biden regime. Because they know that to break the immigration enforcement system is to change the country forever and to establish one party, Democrat Party, control over our country as far as the eye can see. They, they did it in California, a conservative Republican state that not only gave us Ronald Reagan, but successive conservative Republican governors, scores of Republicans in Congress, and an electoral college map that was unbeatable for some time. Now it's as close to a permanent Democrat controlled state as one can imagine. And they pulled it off in less than 10 years time. Illegal immigration and the importation of millions of people from all parts of the world who have no intention of assimilating into our country and who seek to impose their own cultures on the citizenry is already causing enormous havoc and societal unrest here. The Democrat Party is all in. It is the most unconscionable assault on our nation since the Confederate Democrats dragged our country into a civil war. Revolution by immigration, I've mentioned this to you over and over again, is what the Islamists have been preaching for decades. They seek to conquer the west and especially our country, as do the Marxist revolutionaries who came to our country from Europe starting in the late 1800s as progressives, the 1960s as the new Left and now simply as straight up Communists. The Democrat Party is all in again. For the Democrat Party party comes before country, which is how communist regimes work. Fidelity and allegiance to the party is everything. And if that means changing the citizenry to achieve its ends, then so be it. The battles in our streets between ICE and the mobs are battles for the survival of this Republic. The mobs are funded by power hungry evil billionaires, foreign governments and their front groups and of course, domestic radicals born from academia. And they're using every propaganda and agitprop tactic honed and exercised by such movements in the past. Our very existence is at stake. The most magnificent, wonderful republic humankind has ever established is under attack from within. Like a cancer. It's metastasizing. It's gobbling up our institutions. We're using. We're using what we had to fight it. Donald Trump, Will it be enough? Will it be enough? The woke right neo fascists are giving aid and comfort to these movements. They are weakening our ability to fight them. They are undermining us. They are trying to destroy the conservative movement which they now mock. They are trying to destroy the Republican party. They are trying to destroy the republic because they have their own schemes in mind, their own ideas in mind. None of this is new. 1930s, the battle between the fascists and the communists in Germany. Well, the fascists won. The Soviet Union, communists, they won people butchered, murdered, slaughtered. You're looking at it in Iran right now, an Islamist fundamentalist mobster regime slaughtering young people like they give a damn. And there's only one man that's going to be able to help these people, help these people achieve their counter revolution against this fundamentalist Islamist revolution, and that's President Trump. And let's hope it is sooner than later. And if we are going to duck and bend and fear every regime, every evil genocidal regime because we are afraid it will start World War three, then we will have a World War three. Weakness begets bullies. That's what happens. Mark Levin, it's back.

You're listening to the best of Mark Levin.
You know, I'm a big fan of Selena Zito, as many of you you are. She's fantastic. She's a real journalist and she's in Western Pennsylvania, in and around Pittsburgh. Sorry, Pittsburgh. It's time to get rid of that quarterback. I think he's retiring. Sad to see your coach go. He's a good guy too. All that said her piece in the Washington Examiners who radicalized the Mississippi synagogue arson hasn't gotten the kind of attention it would get if it was some other group whose church was burned down. And it ought to get a lot of attention when churches or synagogues are burned down. Hate found its way to Mississippi's largest Jewish house of worship, she writes, Congregation Beth Israel when an arsonist intentionally set fire to the synagogue at about 3am Saturday, damaging the only synagogue in the city. The alleged suspect's name, Steven Spencer Pittman, was released late Monday. According to the FBI. He faces charges of maliciously damaging or destroying a building by fire or an explosive. Russ Latino, a native Mississippian and founder of the Jackson based Magnolia Tribune Institute, said an affidavit filed on US District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi alleges that Pittman admitted to law enforcement that he set the fire at Beth Israel because of its Jewish ties. Latino added that Pitman referred to the synagogue as the Synagogue of Satan, the Synagogue of Satan, and detailed the steps he took leading up to the arson. Now here's the Latino noted that Synagogue of Satan is an anti Semitic phrase that both Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have used in recent years. Nothing in his personal profile points out anything political. There's no Trump or Biden or Harris. There are just a lot of Bible verses. But Synagogue of Satan, well, that is a pretty specific alliteration, the same phraseology used by Fuentes and Owens. And the piece is beautiful, important, and I link to it online and you can read it in its entirety. Now what about this? Now look, I don't know if there's a direct line or not. I don't know if there's a direct line or not. There really doesn't need to be with the language that's coming out of the mouth of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and Steve Bannon, Nick Fuentes, David Smith, who else? I can't even think of Megyn Kelly now and others. It is the kind of language that incites certain people to do violent things. And I'm telling you right now, when you keep smearing an entire faith, an entire people, the only Jewish nation on the face of the earth, and you do it day in and day out. And you are relentless about it. For many reasons, whether you're on Qatar's payroll, whether you're a mental case, whether you're just a Jew hater Whatever it is, it has consequences. We've seen this before all over the world. It has consequences. If you're going to talk like you're a PR agent for the Third Reich, you're going to nod your head and then pretend you're not. In other words, if you're a mini Goebbels, it has consequences. Words have consequences and they are intended to have consequences. So in Fuentes and Owens keep talking about a synagogue of Satan and this guy uses that phrase and he has no political background at all that you can tell. It's poison. Burning down a synagogue in Mississippi, attacking a synagogue in the center of New York celebrating Hamas. Many synagogues have now been attacked in this country, most notably the one in Pittsburgh where parishioners were murdered one at a time. And we now have situations where Orthodox rabbis, the garb that they wear and the beards and so forth are particular targets. And are others who dress this way particular targets? Now, there was a time in our country when we would all rise up, all rise up and denounce this. It's not happening. Maybe we'll get a press release or a comment here and there on the woke, right, the neo fascists. We literally have high ranking politicians who don't say a thing or if they say anything, they pretend in some kind of word salad it's not happening. They view these people as part of their base and there's too many of them who think this way. It's not going to serve their purposes politically, I can tell you that right now. But Salina's right about this. His social media presence on X shows a young man posting about his Christian faith in baseball, where he was a standout player in both high school and college. And Latino said the entire Jackson community has rallied around the Beth Israel congregants, many different faith organizations. This is why I love faith organizations. And the governor, Same thing. Public safety commissioner, Same thing, she writes. The arson follows years of violent attacks against the nation's Jewish community, dating back to October 2018, when Robert Bowers murdered 11 worshipers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. Squire Hill neighborhood. The worst massacre of American Jews in our history. Julie Parrish, who lives in Squire Hill, maybe it's Squirrel Hill and is in the Mid Atlantic region. Director of Stand With Us, said she is horrified by the deliberate arson of the synagogue in Jackson to target Mississippi's largest and oldest house of worship. Desecrating sacred Torah scrolls and destroying a library and administration offices. It's unmitigated evil. And she mentions the documented scores of graffiti attacks in Pittsburgh's largest Jewish neighborhood. Members this is the area she represents, said while this fire was an attempt to intimidate and harm, it will not succeed. And Selena, who by the way, is Italian, Catholic, and a wonderful, wonderful, righteous gentile. She said violence targeting Jews and Jewish institutions surged after October 7, 2023. Now, why is that, America? It's because the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Qatar have poured money into this country, Iran and communist China. They've bought people, they bought podcasters, they've bought politicians, they've bought media outlets, they bought, quote, unquote, influencers. This attack was led by Hamas terrorists. Since then, a Jordanian national broke into a solar power generation facility in Wedgefield, Florida, because he believed the company supported Israel, causing half a million in damage. Last May, two Israeli ambassador staffers, these young kids were killed by a lone gunman in Washington a month later. Boulder, Colorado, Mohammad Sabri Salomon allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at a march supporting Israeli hostages. Prosecutors say he attacked the group with incendiary devices, killing one, injuring others. Yes, he tried to burn them to death. 8,873 antisemitic incidents in the United States in 2023. 140% increase total combined 2022. Excuse me, in 2024. 9,354. And let's be blunt. Part of this is due to the fact that we've imported a huge number of people from the Middle east from Islamist countries. Islamist ruled countries, I should say. Be honest. They're not even saying, you know, support Palestinians. They're saying support Hamas, which many Palestinians don't even support. Last April, in his first night of Passover, Cody bomber scout an iron security fence at the governor's mansion in Pennsylvania. In the middle of the night, he felt used beer bottles with gasoline and he attempted to kill the governor. Burned down half the mansion there. Told police he intended to beat Shapiro with a small sledgehammer if he encountered him. He also said he needed to know that bomber will not take part in his plans for what he wants to do with the Palestinian people, whatever that means. That Israel's library and surrounding rooms suffered severe damage and so forth. Latino said the sanctuary was also damaged. Five Torahs housed there. Pittman, 19, who goes by his middle name, lives in Madison, just outside of Jackson, Mississippi. Corner to an affidavit filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. He faces federal charges for using, obviously trying to burn it down. Three days ago, around the time of the attack, a post on the what Investigators believe is Pittman's Instagram account suggested his interest extended beyond baseball. Featured an image of Princess Clara, animated character from Drawn Together, known for religious fanaticism and bigotry, pushing mumbo Alago. A secondary character depicted wearing a star David and carrying bags of money into a pool while shouting, a Jew in my backyard. I can't believe my Jew crown didn't work. You're getting baptized right now. The question is, who radicalized this man with seemingly no ideological bent, from posts about baseball and faith to attempting to burn down a house of worship and using phraseology like synagogue of Satan. What do you think about this? Fuentes and Owens? What do you think about this? Carlson and Bannon and all the rest of you disgusting reprobates, you vulgarians. I fear there's a lot more to come. A whole lot more to come. I fear that that's coming. Mark Lev.
The great one makes your weekend even better. This is the best of Mark Levin.
You know, we talk numbers, but to put human faces on these slaughters, when you look at these videos, these beautiful young people who are being slaughtered, their faces, their eyes are wide open. You think, God, that could be my daughter or my son or my granddaughter, my grant. It's just horrendous. Shuna Agabousi, 15 years old, was at Tehran Parse park with 24 of his friends where they chanted a few slogans for freedom. So the regime got word of it, they sent their killers there. Let me silence my computer here for a moment, please. Excuse me, I'm a quasi professional. Hold on a second. Okay, did that, did that good. Silence. And guess what? All 25 of them were murdered. All 25 were murdered. All 15 year olds or younger. They're also secreting within these protest groups, the Rastasi, if you will. And they persuade the protesters to move in a particular street and so forth, where they are, where they're set up and they're slaughtered. Can you imagine being a young person just protesting for freedom and being gunned down this way? Just your mind must be, oh my God, what's happening? It's just so awful. Ladies and gentlemen, reports coming out of the Iran that Iranian footballer Achabi Tarshees and his wife were killed by the regime while peacefully protesting. Their two little daughters are now orphaned. So one of their big footballers leaked footage from the streets of Kermashah shows Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps units spraying protesters with bullets, just machine gunning them down in demonstrations. A doctor inside Iran delivers a stark warning. He says the killing is widespread. Hospitals are buckling, and the blackout is hiding the scale of the bloodshed. CNN reporting bodies are stacked up, makeshift morgues filled with grief, much of its remains unseen beyond Iran's borders. They're putting people in freezers, and they're finding that some of them were not even killed. They were wounded, but then they froze to death. They suffocated in the freezers. They've been going into hospitals, dragging out doctors and nurses who've treated protesters, killing the protesters, and as the Democrats like to say, disappearing the medical staff. This is what's going on and probably a hell of a lot more. I posted another one where these protesters, ladies and gentlemen, they're young people, they're running down the street. And the killers, the ss, they're shooting them in the back as they're trying to run away. Now, we urged them to keep protesting, did we not, Mr. Producer? Did we not say keep protesting? We did keep protesting. Help us on the way. That's why I have to believe that this, this period of delay is intended to make sure that we are properly positioned to do what needs to be done. Whatever the strategy is, I've got to believe that the authority of the Iranian regime telling us anything is no authority at all. None at all. It's just. What's happening is. It's just beyond description to me. Remember the ICE agent that was struck by the vehicle being driven by Renee Goode and all the Democrats saying that he jumped out of the way, was not struck, he was not hurt badly, and he shot her from the side and he shouldn't have shot her and he should be charged with murder. Remember all that stuff? Remember this? Mayor Jacob Frey compared ICE agents, his injury to a closing a refrigerator door with his hips. Remember all that? Well, if you don't, I just reminded you. Well, there's been a little change. Now the narrative changes, but the Democrats won't change the narrative. The federal agent who shot her suffered internal bleeding to his torso when he was struck by her vehicle. Got that? The extent of the bleeding was not immediately clear. However, there was internal bleeding, which means he was hit hard and certainly hard enough. The health update comes after Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry previously downplayed the agent's injuries. I don't think they give a damn if the agent was killed. What do you think of that? That's just the way it goes. Cell phone videos of the encounter prompted a mix of reactions from officials and lawmakers. The Democrat Party has unleashed its militia again, as it did in 2020, to preserve what they created millions of illegal aliens in the United States, hoping the Supreme Court rules on birthright citizenship to uphold what's been done so that their children could become American citizens, even though the Constitution says no such thing, even though no federal statute says any such thing. Birthright citizenship. That phrase exists absolutely nowhere in our Constitution or in our codes anywhere. They concocted it. But we have a few justices who are, who are intimidated by the public and the media, no question about it. And I think part of the lead up to that decision is what you see going on with the Democrats in the streets. And they are being urged to do violence. They are being urged to obstruct federal agents, law enforcement. We're trying to find the illegal aliens, especially the criminals, and to remove them as is required by federal law. And now the Democrats are talking about eliminating ice, slashing ice, or they'll shut down the government. Then of course, they'll blame the Republicans because they feel this has worked for them in the past. Pretty outrageous, don't you think? Here's Chuck Schumer in the Morning Joe. Go ahead. Cut. What is it? Cut 8. We have talked to police officers across the country and the police department in Minneapolis itself, and they know that these ICE agents are so totally untrained in police doctrine, they don't know what to do, how to do it, and it ends up even killing people. So they're attacking the institution. What doesn't he mean they're untrained? The guy that shot Good had been in there for 15 years. So who's he talking about? He just talks out of his butt. Schumer does. They take the side of the criminal. They take the side of Garcia. Remember that criminal, they take the side of Khalil. Remember that jerk that Hamas supporting jerk? It's the truth. Many of them took the side of Hamas against Israel. This is a party that needs, that needs to be replaced with another party. Quite frankly, it's a disaster and it's un American. MARK levin.
We're giving you nothing but the best. The best of Mark Levin.
There's three avenues for civil action that should be brought against individual perpetrators. Individual perpetrators. So they're not just acting as a group or there's some criminal charge, trespass or assault that's brought and sits there for years and years and years. I'm thinking something a little differently that can be done in addition to that or exclusive of that. As I said at the beginning, number one, civil lawsuits by the Department of Justice for damages to federal property. So somebody and that includes briefcases, papers, Attacking a vehicle, whatever it is, that is a, not only a crime, but that provides a basis for civil litigation by the federal government. I'm not aware this has been done, but it ought to be done. And it ought to be done a lot. Number two, very important. Individual ICE agents. You know, they're citizens, too. They're citizens, too. Even though the left, the media and the Democrats try to dehumanize them. Each one of them is flesh and blood. Each one of them has a family. And each one of them, if they are performing their duties and they are assaulted by one of these rioters, if they are assaulted by one of these rioters, they can bring a civil lawsuit against the rioter who did indeed assault them. That is one of the agents. The agent who was assaulted can bring the civil lawsuit against the rioter who assaulted him. We should be encouraging this. Their union should be encouraging this. Legal groups that do litigation should be involved in this. That's number two. Number three, the federal civil asset forfeiture law. Any vehicle used by anybody to block ice, that is obstructing federal law enforcement from doing their official responsibilities, they should forfeit their vehicles. They should be seized on the spot and they should be sold. Whether it's a truck, a pickup truck, a car, doesn't matter. Motorcycle, they should be forfeited. The vehicles should be forfeited, seized by ICE and sold. Now, this may not bring an end to this highly organized, ideologically driven and funded effort to overthrow our country, but these are more tools, more weapons that can be used that will directly affect the rider, directly affect the perpetrator, directly affect the assaulter. So they have to literally pay for what they've done. Not just get a mug shot and a smirk and so what? 30 days in jail, whatever it is. No, guess what. Guess what. You're the federal government money. Guess what. The individual agents going to sue you for everything you've got because you've assaulted them. That's not only a federal offense, that's a civil offense. Never forget these two words. Pain, suffering, Mr. Producer. Nobody better at it than the slip and fall lawyers, the ambulance chasers. But in this case, it's real. For instance, that ICE agent that was hit by that automobile and had internal bleeding, he could sue that family. He absolutely can. Absolutely can. And the Feds could take that vehicle. I'm just using that as an example. There are other examples where there's not firearms involved. Say one of these people sprays something at an I.C.E. agent, that's assault. Throws something at an I.C.E agent that's assault. Hits an I.C.E agent. That's assault. Pushes an I.C.E. agent. That's assault. That's assault. That ICE agent, depending on the facts, obviously has a potential private, individual case of action against that rioter, that protester, that person who assaulted them. And again, the vehicles. Seize the vehicles, forfeit the vehicles and sell them. Somebody puts a truck in front of a street, take it. Oh, thank you. What a gift. That's correct. That's correct. Now, what about the Insurrection Act? The Insurrection Act, I did an entire show on that on Fox, and I've done it for you. I always do it for my radio audience. Insurrection act has been used at least, give or take three dozen times by presidents of the United States of both parties, since Thomas Jefferson, even before we had an Insurrection act, since him, all the way up to George W. Bush, excuse me, George H.W. bush, The President of the United States is much more restrained than he's given credit for. He hasn't used it yet, despite the riots in LA and other cities and now what's going on in Minneapolis. He didn't use it in his first term either, but he can. It's constitutional, absolutely legal, despite what the Democrats say when they talk about dictatorship, the Gestapo. These are very sick people, the Democrats. They hate America, as my book said. Longest book I've ever written. It could have been twice as long, page after page after page recording the Democrat Party's hate for this country and its actions against this country. And that is a long list right into the right now, today. But that is how it works. That is the truth. That is the truth. So I say we'll get into, we'll be circling back to these different issues because I believe they do need to be discussed. But I want these federal law enforcement officials, you bring these cases in federal court, not state court. I'm talking about federal, federal law, federal statutes, not. And don't you love these Democrats now comparing ICE trying to enforce federal immigration law that they passed with Republicans to what's going on in Iran. That's how sick it is you got, by the way, Tucker KITARLSON interviewing A confidant, a comrade, a Putin's. He says Putin got rid of the money changers. Mr. Producer, money changers. Where have we heard that before? Rich? The money changers, which is another phrase that is used to attack Jews. That's what the Klan does, the neo Nazis do, the Third Reich. Tucker Carlson is a Klansman, in my opinion, without the white robe and without the bow tie. Now, that's what he is effectively. That's what he is. He says all the same things they say, but he's worse. He actually goes to enemy countries to spew this stuff and they repeat him and they use his shows like in Iran, as they slaughter their own people. We literally have politicians in this country who won't denounce him and in fact, befriend him. That's not going to work. I'm not going to get into this, but I literally have some people suggesting. Mark, you really need to get off this now. You need to slow down on this stuff, folks. I only bring it up when it's in front of my face. And 10 months ago, that's what everybody was saying. Don't talk about this. Don't reveal this. What good is radio? What good is tv? What good is podcasting if you don't alert your fellow Americans to this threat that we face internally in this country, whether it's the Islamists and the Marxists or whether it's the neo fascists? I can't talk about traffic all the time and the weather all the time. I understand that's important. I can't do paint by the numbers here. Some people do, they go on a website, they look at the top 10 stories, and I can't do that. And you don't want me to do that. So I talk about history and the Constitution. I talk about philosophy and economics. We go very deep sometimes, and I talk about things that are happening today. Sometimes they have a smiley face, but often they don't. You ever look back at history, those of you who do, and say, how did this happen? How did this happen? Why were people so quiet? The New York Times didn't say anything. The Washington Post didn't say anything. Our politicians didn't say anything. That will never happen with me. I've read too many books. I've studied too much history. There's been too much evil that has been birthed and spreads like a. Like a cancer, metastasizing, because people don't have the courage to speak up, regardless of the consequences. And I'm going to tell you something. I have consequences right here with. I have wonderful sponsors, but some of them are going to drop out. Not all of them, not most of them, but a couple. And that's okay. Let them go. And not just them. I understand this is upsetting. Upsetting to me, too. But, you know, it's one thing if my voice, if they attempt to silence it, it's another thing if I silence it myself. I couldn't live with myself. I don't come on the air and rant. I don't come on the air and curse. I don't come on the air and feed you conspiracy theories. I treat you with respect. I am blessed by you. Out there. There's many other places you can go. I know this. I feel like we're a big extended family. This national town hall meeting. I truly do. You people who've been on radio, who can't handle it, it's too much work. It's three hours. They'll do it for a couple years, maybe 10 years. Then you go do something else. I'm committed to this, to this platform. I am committed to talk radio right to the end. Right to the end. I believe it is the greatest communication platform of any period. And there you are.
