Mark Levin Podcast

00:00 You know, folks, Americans rely on credit cards for secure payments and seamless transactions. But consumers stand to lose it all with the Durbin Marshall credit card mandate bill. Big government mandates favor corporate megastores and allow them to choose how your credit card is processed. They might end up using untested payment networks that could jeopardize your data security and rewards. Tell Congress to guard your card, because Americans lose when politicians choose.

He's here. 00:34 Now broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. 01:29 Thank you. 02:04 Hello America, Mark Levin here, our number. Hello, 877-381-3811, 877-381-3811. 02:14 I hope you had a great three-day weekend. 02:18 Labor Day, which is really no Labor Day, but you get the point. 02:23 I'm going to have to talk fast, like some of my colleagues. There's a lot to cover today, Mr. Producer. 02:29 A whole lot. I want to start with... 02:33 Well, I want to give you sort of an inside scoop on how things are manipulated and things work to try and effect elections. 02:46 And in this case, it's the elections in Israel. And they happen here too and elsewhere, but this is really quite seedy. 02:54 And you'll see here that the PSYOP involves a media outlet called Haaretz, which is... 03:02 so radical, so extreme, we don't have anything like it in this country, and they obviously hate Netanyahu, and they hate America too, by the way. And yet there's a following for this. You know, there's Marxists everywhere in the entire West, and they have quite a hold in different aspects of the culture in Israel. 03:23 But you'll see the release of a book, quotes in a book, quotes in the book, which are printed by the newspaper Haaretz. 03:38 From there, it goes to other media that pick up on it immediately, like the Jerusalem Post, but the Associated Press, Reuters, almost every American newspaper and news outlet. 03:52 And the fire begins. 03:56 The fire begins, and the whole thing is gaslighted. 04:04 And then what happens? 04:06 All the opponents of Netanyahu put out statements. They want an investigation that this is outrageous. 04:14 And, of course, it's only like four or five weeks until the election over there. 04:20 And it's extremely close. 04:23 Now, what am I talking about? All right, I've set the stage in sort of a general way. 04:31 Netanyahu's office strongly denied a report that the United Arab Emirates, the UAE, that its president gave him a direct warning about an impending Hamas attack before October 7, 2023. He called the claim. His office did an outright absolute lie. 04:51 The allegation serviced in a newly released book, Hostages, 843 Days of Abandonment. 04:59 and was regurgitated in the extremely radical, Netanyahu-hating Israeli newspaper Haaretz. 05:12 According to the book's authors, three anonymous foreign senior sources. Stop right there. So the whole thing is built on three anonymous foreign senior sources. 05:24 In a book timed before the election, marketed to have maximum impact and therefore sales during an upcoming election. 05:38 I want you to think about these things. 05:42 These anonymous foreign senior sources claim that the UAE president called Netanyahu 10 days before the October 7 attack, warning that Hamas' leader, Sinoir, was planning a major operation that could destabilize the entire region. 06:04 Now, so this is the source of the headlines around the world today. 06:10 And by the way, I wrote this earlier this morning. 06:14 Earlier this morning. 06:17 It all smelled like a skunk to me, and it turns out it was. Just stick with me. 06:22 Three anonymous foreign senior sources in a book released today and promoted by Haaretz. Nothing more. Sounds almost too perfect. Does it not, Mr. Reducer? 06:32 Does it not, America? So perfect. 06:36 Yet prior to the October 7 attack, not a single person went to the press, went to the public, jumped up and down, warning that Hamas was planning an attack. At least not with any specificity about the nature of the attack. 06:53 None of the usual anonymous leaks to the Israeli media. Zippo. 06:58 The Jerusalem Post, a hugely influential news outlet in Israel, had no news stories about it. I went back and I checked. 07:07 In fact, not a single Israeli media outlet reported anything. 07:12 So it just comes out today. 07:18 Almost too perfect, America. This is how you have to unravel these things. Stick with me. 07:24 It gets even better. 07:26 Even the retired generals, like Gantz and Eskalat, in Israel's political party, seeking to become prime minister, a part of a new government there, said nothing before October 7th about a possible attack. 07:44 Odd if they had some knowledge of an impending terror attack of the kind that occurred on October 7th, yet they were silent. 07:54 The timing of the book's release and the anonymous foreign sources promoted by Israel's most radical news outlet is not lost on anyone. 08:02 As Netanyahu's political and media opponents pounced weeks before the election. They were all over today. 08:10 Well, he never told us about the warning, says Bennett, who was prime minister for about 14 seconds. 08:17 Lapid, another one, goes to the media. He's from the media. Says it's outrageous. We need an investigation. And they all want to be prime minister. 08:29 But it's particularly repulsive to watch this Naftali Bennett and this Yair Lapid, I just mentioned them, all over the media demanding new investigations. 08:39 We know as a matter of fact, listen to this. 08:43 I just kept digging and digging, that's what I do, that there was a comprehensive 40-page Hamas battle plan codenamed Jericho Wall, which laid out aspects of the invasion strategy, the invasion strategy of Hamas, which was later executed on October 7, that was acquired by Israeli intelligence in April 2022 when Bennett, who's now running for prime minister again, was serving as prime minister. 09:16 So this 40-page intelligence report, they had it when he was the prime minister. 09:27 This guy, Yair Lapid, who I mentioned, he was the alternative prime minister and the foreign minister at the time. 09:36 Now, Netanyahu didn't return as prime minister until December 29, 2022. 09:42 Many, many months after that report, the 40-page Hamas battle plan, codenamed Jericho's Wall, was in the hands of Bennett and Lapid, the opposition. 09:57 You'd think these two men would be somewhat circumspect about the allegations they're launching, right? But no. 10:06 And so I concluded this morning. Today's allegation from anonymous sources in a book just released from maximum marketing attention and sales literally weeks before the Israeli election and promoted by a radical news outlet that seeks Netanyahu's defeat is ugly stuff. 10:24 A well-organized, well-timed political ambush. 10:30 Prime Minister's office issued an absolute definitive statement saying this never happened. If there was any contact between UAE and Israeli government, they said it would be intel to intel, not president to prime minister. It just never happened. 10:46 But we even know more. 10:50 C-14 News, Channel 14 News in Israel, quote, A senior Emirati, that's UAE, a senior Emirati official fiercely denies the dubious Haaretz, that's the paper, report claiming the UAE president warned Netanyahu ahead of October 7, quote, you cannot fend off the wave of rumors in the Israeli media, unquote. 11:19 And since then, the government of UAE says, you keep us out of this. We're not getting involved in your campaigns, in your elections. 11:28 It never happened. 11:32 It never happened. 11:37 It's very difficult. 11:40 It's very difficult when you attack like this in a very limited time period to defend yourself. 11:49 And yet it is abundantly clear now that this was a complete setup, a sigh-up, to try and stop Netanyahu. 12:01 You guys like Piers Morgan this morning, when they came out, this story from Haaretz, he starts attacking Netanyahu and demands his head. But he's not alone. 12:13 He's made it clear he hates the guy. 12:17 But those who hate Netanyahu, of course, they'll believe anything and they'll use anything. 12:23 And that's exactly what happened here. 12:28 A senior Emirati official fiercely denies the dubious Haaretz reports Channel 14 News in Israel, claiming UAE President Warren Dantanyahu ahead of the October 7 attack. You cannot fend off the wave of rumors in the Israeli media. Now, the way that works here, the monarchy, is this guy would not have said what he said if it wasn't approved in advance. 12:58 Anybody who takes Haaretz seriously is really a fool. 13:03 And yet, all the media in the West took it very seriously because they want to believe. 13:11 Because they want to believe. And the Netanyahu haters, they don't care what's truth or fact or fallacy, falsehoods. 13:23 If it helps the cause... 13:26 to defeat him, then that's what they'll do. Let me tell you something. 13:31 They may be happy if Netanyahu loses, but so will the Iranian regime be very happy. 13:37 I just point that out. 13:39 All right, we've got a lot more. I'll be right back. 13:50 With Donald Trump back in office, 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. 14:03 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 helping consumers. 14:17 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 failed 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 more at guardyourcar.com. That's guardyourcar.com.

The Islamist greatest hits. 14:58 So this is front of mind. 15:00 Your country's under attack from within. 15:03 You may not see it every day, you may not hear it every day, but it's happening every single day. Mohammed Naspriyat, Chicago Islamic scholar. 15:15 We did not come here to coexist. Hat tip memory, M-E-M-R-I. 15:20 Unfortunately, these days we don't repeat this enough or we don't we don't have this this concept firm in our minds that Islam did not come to coexist Islam And Islam is raised high and nothing is raised above Islam. We can't think of Islam that came to live with these other religions in the sense that Islam is a religion amongst those religions and they have a share with the truth. 15:53 And they have a share of... justice and they have a share of you know this worship of allah correct worship of allah islam came to correct all of that islam came to remove the oppression of all those religions and it is the only truth and it is the only way to justice now you understand fundamentally in that 50 second clip what's the belief system and what they intend to do 16:20 Judaism doesn't work this way. Christianity doesn't work this way. Buddhism doesn't work this way. Hinduism doesn't work this way. All down the line. Of course, people would prefer if you shared their faith. Some don't care, whatever. But one of those religions I mentioned insists that you must, must, and only... 16:46 can work through that religion to even speak to God, to pray to God, or to be a legitimate parishioner. 16:53 Only Islam. 16:55 And Islam is the latest of these religions. 16:58 The latest. 17:00 So you have Judaism almost 4,000 years ago, followed about 2,000 years, give or take, Christianity. Then you have Islam. 17:12 1400 years ago, and Islam says, oh, we're the real religion, we're the real faith. 17:18 Says Muhammad, who was Muhammad? 17:21 Well, Muhammad was effectively a Bedouin in the desert, laying down the law. 17:33 I'm going to spend a lot of time on this. I've decided, in part, I'm going to write a lot about this, but I'm not going to go beyond what I'm telling you right now. 17:44 but I'm going to address this. 17:46 How much time do I have, Rich? 17:49 Not enough. When we come back, I want you to hear from Raja Abdullah, an imam at the Youth Center in Brooklyn, not too long ago. 18:01 We have imams everywhere. We have them in mosques. We have them in youth centers. 18:06 We have them in other Muslim facilities. We've got so-called self-identified scholars. 18:13 And this is going to have one day an enormous effect. You're going to have a whole generation of Americans who are Islamic, a whole generation, who are going to hate with a vengeance, hate with violence, because this is the nature of Islamism, and it is the nature of what they are teaching. 18:38 You think what's going on in the Middle East... 18:41 is going to be unique to the Middle East somehow. 18:44 As little Israel fights for its survival every day, that's going to be us. 18:49 That's going to be us. 18:52 I'll be right back. 18:57 With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. 19:07 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.

So, if you're a fool, don't call 877-381-3811. 20:06 Washington Examiner has got a guy, Con Carroll, who's in charge, I think, of the opinion page. He's really done grave damage to it as far as I'm concerned. But there are some good columnists left. 20:20 And they're usually the ones that same for the editor. 20:23 Here, Byron York, Trump, and his voters. This is very important. 20:27 A new analysis in the Wall Street Journal offers striking evidence that for all his problems, President Trump has delivered economic benefits to the voters whose support was the foundation of his victory in 2024. 20:43 The synopsis of the story is Americans without college degrees are having one of the best job markets in years. 20:49 Unemployment among younger workers who didn't go to college has really been lower in recent decades. It is the opposite story for college grads. 21:00 The article was based on work done by a think tank called the Burning Glass Institute. 21:06 Analysts found that, let's see one second, analysts found that the, quote, the unemployment rate for workers aged 22 to 34 who never graduated from college is at one of the lowest points unemployment is in the last 20 years. Meanwhile, workers with a bachelor's degree or higher are experiencing greater and difficulty getting a good job just a job hunters without degrees are having one of their best runs those with college education are having one of their worst according to the report in the past and that analysts noted the trends for the two groups A degree to non degree tended to move in the same direction at the same time. 21:57 Now they have diverged and the non degree improving and the degree encountering problems. 22:04 It's not that those with college degrees are suddenly at a huge disadvantage compared to those without a degree still mean something. The Wall Street Journal notes that for those workers between ages 25 and 54 who have a college degree, the unemployment rate averaged 2.7% in the last year. I mean, that's basically nonexistent. 22:26 For those with some college but no degree, it was 3.6%. 22:33 And for those with no college at all, they're talking about ages 25, I think it was, to 54. And let's see, those with no college at all, it was 4.7%. So the story is not that having no degree is better than having a degree. The story is that the economic circumstances of non-degreed workers are improving faster than those with degrees. 23:01 A key part of Trump's rise and hold on power has been the support of voters who do not have college degrees. 23:08 Trump's success has prompted hundreds of stories on the educational divide in politics, how educational status increasingly determines one's politics. 23:18 The bottom line of all those stories is that those without degrees support Trump, those with degrees support Trump's opponents. 23:27 He talks about the exit polls. 23:30 And he goes on. 23:33 Of course, it's not simple. Behind the numbers, there is profound economic and social dislocation, he writes. On the other side, people without college degrees with lower wages are struggling to pay the same high prices for groceries. 23:49 All right, got it. 23:50 Anyway, I thought that was somewhat interesting. 23:56 I did. 23:58 What do you make of that, Mr. Producer? Do you want to give your degree back so you can, you know? 24:04 Is that how that works now? 24:06 I don't know, can you give your degree back? 24:11 Most of what I learned, no, don't get me wrong, I didn't learn. 24:15 It's not that I didn't learn anything in college and so forth, but what I've learned, mostly I'm self-taught, quite frankly. 24:23 I had a few really good teachers, one in philosophy, one in history, maybe two in history, maybe one in poli-sci. That's about it. 24:33 Not a lot. 24:34 Most of it was just muscling through because I was so bored. I was bored stiff. Were you bored stiff in college, Rich? 24:43 In the middle. I was so bored in high school. 24:47 I was like a CC plus student, and I read this article in the high school newspaper, the Cheltonian, in Cheltenham Township, and I read it and it says, if you get a 4.0 average in 11th grade, Temple University would consider accepting you after 11th grade rather than going through 12th grade. And then when you graduate your freshman year at Temple University, you would then get your high school diploma. So you know what Mark did? 25:19 He put on his hypersonic brain power, and I kind of woke up because I was literally bored. I was just so bored. 25:29 And so I got the straight A's in 11th grade. 25:32 shocked everybody not really not my parent and i skipped the 12th grade then i went into college and you know what i wanted to do rich get out of there i was bored stiff i was ready to go folks so i accelerated i finished college in three years again i'm not bragging i'm just telling you what was driving me i wanted to get out some of it was interesting some of it wasn't but i was thinking to myself what am i doing here some cases i felt like i knew more than the professor but it doesn't matter so i got out of there with a very very high average and then i went into law school at temple all through temple because this is the way i could get moving And I went to the dean of Temple Law School. 26:23 His name was Leah Kors. Unfortunately, he passed away. He was a moderate Democrat back then. We don't have any, we have like a handful of them today, but he was one. 26:31 Could have been a radical, right? He was dean of Temple University Law School. Temple's a very radical school. 26:36 Much more radical now, I'm sure, and it was radical then. 26:40 And I went to him and I said, look, three years of law school, are you kidding me? Can I knock it out in two years? Is that okay? And he said, no. 26:49 I said, why? 26:51 because it's an experience. Don't you know, Rich? It's an experience. 26:57 Now, I figure not because of him that it was probably a rule because they didn't want me taking additional credits and so forth and moving through quickly because I believe we were paying by semester there, not so much by credits. 27:12 So three years I was in there, but I was still bored. I was bored stiff with law school. 27:20 And so I decided to run for the school board while I was in law school. Nobody does that. And at the time, you know, my mom and dad and brothers and all, my buddy Eric, who passed away, as you know, were all very helpful, door to door. I must have hit 3,800 doors. Now, I'm in law school, mind you. 27:42 And we have what we call coffee clutches. I must have had 40 of those pulling together people. 27:48 And in the end, the primary we won and then the general we won very big. And I was elected to the school board. There I was, 19 years old. 27:59 And that was pretty much it, Rich. 28:06 Then I left there and I went to Texas Instruments. You ever hear them? 28:12 Silence. You never heard of Texas Instruments? 28:17 Yeah, calculators, right? Do they still make them? I don't even know. 28:21 In Richardson, Texas. And I almost settled down in Plano, Texas, which is now a hotspot for the Islamists. 28:32 But I had been campaigning for Reagan in 76. I don't know why I'm telling you this. And I campaigned for Reagan in 80. 28:40 And he won. And I said, no, I got to work in the Reagan administration. That's what I have to do. 28:44 And that's how all that started. 28:47 And now look at me. 28:52 Well, you know, that's the way it is. 28:58 Got a great call from the president. 29:01 The hell was it? 29:03 Sunday night, actually. I think it was Sunday night. 29:08 And, uh, Let me tell you something. He's not only as kind as can be, smart as hell, but he's hilarious. 29:18 He's hilarious. I'm not going to get into it. 29:21 Others do. I don't do that. 29:23 You know, I just got a call from the president, and he told me this, that. I don't do that. 29:29 And I'm not going to start now. 29:32 All right, back to our Islamist friends. 29:36 Rajah Abdullah Khan. 29:39 At the Muslim Youth Center in Brooklyn. 29:42 Brooklyn, that would be New York. Cut two, go. 29:45 We as Muslims in America and in the West, especially after September 11, we are seen as a security threat to the empire. And the only way for us to prove... Wait, wait, wait. 29:56 A security threat to the empire, you see. 29:59 Hmm. 30:01 I don't think Muslims are. I think Islamists are. with big mouths who keep going on and on about taking down this country. Yeah, we think that's a threat, pal. 30:12 Go ahead. 30:13 Mechanism is to prove that we are loyal to the security forces of this government, of this country. 30:21 Now, this doesn't mean- I thought it's his country too, isn't he? Is he a citizen, Mr. President? I think he is, right? 30:29 So he said, this country, this country. No, it's our country, a-hole. 30:34 May I call you an a-hole? Because you are an a-hole. Go ahead. 30:37 Citizens, this is part of our Islam, to be loyal citizens, but loyal citizens to a healthy society, not loyal citizens to an empire that has invaded Iraq, killing one million people, invading Afghanistan. 30:51 We didn't kill one million people, Ms. Grant. 30:55 You must be confusing us with Islamism. 31:01 Go ahead. 31:03 Thousands and hundreds of thousands of people and today funding and orchestrating a genocide in Gaza. We can't be loyal to that. 31:11 If you are loyal to that, then I'm sorry. 31:13 You understand? You understand what he's saying? He's not loyal to that. That would be us. 31:20 That country. That would be our country. 31:24 This guy's having a tough time assimilating, isn't he? 31:30 Go ahead. 31:32 your religion you're betraying the understanding of the religion that is about justice we can't be claiming that we are worshiping Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so we can please him but at the same time or we claim that we want to make this world a better place because that is the that is what we're supposed to do that's why the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam expanded the muslim empire this is why his companions ah he admits it's a muslim empire 31:56 And of course, wherever that is expanded, there's peace and prosperity and kindness and equality, free will. 32:03 The humanitarianism just breaks out all over the place, doesn't it? It's fantastic. 32:10 Except in England, where I think they had massive rape gangs, as I recall. That didn't go very well. 32:19 Except in the continent of Africa, where Christians are being slaughtered in the most horrendous way. 32:26 That didn't go very well, except in Syria, where Muslims were slaughtering Muslims, and they threw in some Christians and Jews and Kurds and others as well. That wasn't a pretty picture at all. And then we have Yemen, 99% Muslim, where the Islamists are slaughtering Muslims, where they've lost 150,000 have been murdered. You know, only 540,000 in Syria. God knows how many in Africa. 32:53 Oh, it's a religion of peace. And wherever they go, the humanitarianism is just pouring out of their pores. Go ahead. 33:03 Out of countries. And as we know, we shut up, jackass and get the hell out of my country. I'll be right back. 33:17 With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn.

Okay. 34:26 Pope Leo XIV. Are you happy with him? Are you impressed with him? Are you neutral? 34:34 You're in the middle. 34:36 You think he's a little left for you? 34:38 Pope Leo XIV with reporters yesterday. We should perhaps be a little less fearful of Islam, he says. Cut three, go. 34:47 Some Catholics in Europe believe that Islam is a threat to a Christian identity of the West. Are they right? And what would you say to them? 35:01 All of the conversations that I had during my time both in Turkey and in Lebanon, including with many Muslims, were precisely concentrated on the topic of peace and respect for people of different religions. 35:21 I know that. 35:23 As a matter of fact, that has not always been the case. 35:26 I know that in Europe there are many times fears that are present but oftentimes generated by people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who may be from another country, another religion, another race. 35:45 And in that sense, I would say that we all need to work together. One of the values of this trip is precisely to raise the world's attention to the possibility. All right. 35:55 Thank you. Thank you. 35:57 I'm not going to be rude. I'm not even going to comment. 36:02 Except to say. 36:07 If the Islamists could get their hands on this pope, they'd murder him in 10,000 ways. 36:12 That's what they do. 36:14 There's a level of naivete that is very upsetting and concerning to a lot of people. 36:20 I'll leave it at that. 36:23 The fact of the matter is I don't know how you can look at Europe and think that the people in Europe have done anything but open their arms to Islamists and now And now they see what's taking place against them. 36:36 You can hear the imams. I'm playing them for you. The so-called scholars. I'm playing them for you. They're politicians. I'm playing them for you. 36:43 And you hear what they say. They say if they get their way, there will be no Pope Leo. There will be no Catholic Church. No Christianity. No Jews.

Pure Talk. 37:16 He's here. 37:17 He's here. 37:20 Now broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. 37:37 Hello, everybody. 37:40 It'd be me, myself, and I, all three of us. How are you? 37:45 Well, there's been a little spat, actually a big brawl, if you will, online. And there always are big brawls. They're very toxic there. 37:56 And there's this guy who claims to be an independent reporter. His name is Nick Sorter. Isn't that his last name, Rich? 38:05 What a lowlife, in my humble opinion, this guy is. The Israel Lobby. Well, we all know what he means by that. 38:11 The Israel Lobby. 38:13 And he has his head up, you know, the isolationist, big government, quasi-socialist ASS. 38:22 So he's all in with that stuff. He's all in with the Huey Long stuff and the rest of it. 38:27 And yet this is a movement, much like a Mao movement, within the Republican Party and the conservative movement. 38:37 And it's very strange, too. 38:41 You've got some of these people who, what's the guy's name, Knowles? Michael Knowles, who comes up with new labels for the wrong thing. For instance, he talks about establishment conservatives. 38:55 And what is the subject here? The subject is a program, I'm going to put it in basic English. It's a program the government has that it's had for a long time. It spends billions of dollars subsidizing based on income level, by the way, stay at home, as an example, mothers or fathers who are raising their families to try and help them. 39:23 And so the report's out that the White House, with the strong urging of the Vice President, wants to expand the program. They say redirect it, but it's expanded to include pretty much all families. 39:41 Pretty much all families. 39:44 So if a mother stays home or a father stays home, they will receive, the number being thrown around is $9,000. $9,000. 39:57 So I look at this and I say to myself, we have a $40 trillion debt. 40:08 That's on book. Off book, we have over $300 trillion debt when you consider entitlements and future IOUs. 40:19 We're spending over a trillion dollars a year now on interest on the debt. 40:24 And interest on the debt is bigger than the entire defense budget. 40:28 In fact, interest on the debt, should rates go up any significant way, will soon, and I might say soon, in 10 to 15 years, consume the entire budget. 40:42 I don't care what great cause is out there, because there are always great causes for more government, for more borrowing, for more debt, for more spending, and more taxing. 40:53 But you have to be Helen Keller not to see and not to hear that we just hit $40 trillion. And the estimate is in four to five years, we're going to hit $50 trillion, 50. 41:04 And we can't grow our way out of $50 trillion. We cannot grow our way out of $50 trillion. 41:12 And so what's going to happen? 41:14 What's going to happen when we hit $50 trillion, say, in five years? And then on top of that, what's going to happen in six years when Social Security benefits can't be paid in full? And what are we going to do in seven years when Medicare can't be paid in full? Well, at least we expanded this one program to include all family members, Mr. Producer. 41:35 Who pays the price for all of this with massive new taxes, with massive inflation? And let me tell you something. If you think government was out of control during the pandemic, you just wait. If this economy collapses, there will be no respect for the Constitution. 41:56 And you will have fellow citizens who want martial law. 42:03 I'm not kidding about this. It's not fear-mongering, it's reality. 42:08 The laws of economics are just as scientific as the laws of physics. They don't change. 42:19 They don't change. 42:21 So we literally have these sort of, I call them pseudo-conservatives, but they're socialist light, and they go around calling anyone who disagrees with them, you're the rhino. You might be a constitutional conservative, a fiscal conservative, and you're now a rhino, or... 42:43 an establishment conservative. They think their kind of Marxist language playing and word games is gonna influence you and somehow, wait, I didn't know, that's me. No, it's not you. 42:58 Well, can't we help families? This is what we get out of the heritage family. 43:03 Can't we help families? 43:05 Yeah, get out of their face. 43:09 But we help everybody else. 43:12 How is that a policy? 43:16 How is that a policy? 43:20 Obviously, if you create a brand new entitlement for middle class people, it can't pay for itself. It's impossible. 43:28 Well, let's just talk to billionaires. So they start to sound like Bernie Sanders, right? 43:35 They got the class warfare going on and all the rest of it. 43:52 That's enough! 43:54 We've got to figure out... A little bit of an echo there, Rich. 43:59 We've got to figure out how to get out of this. 44:05 All right, let me hit this. 44:07 Hold on, America. There it is, I think. 44:13 Did I hit it back up, Mr. Producer? 44:16 No. 44:18 Hold on, I've got to hit the back up. I'm looking for it. 44:21 Oh, my goodness. 44:23 How's that? 44:25 Is that the backup? 44:27 It's not the throw-up, is it? All right, here we are. 44:32 We have a backup system, so if you have a little problem with the original line, it's actually quite good that it does that. 44:38 A little inside baseball on the outside. Anyway, you get the point? 44:44 I don't know why this is complicated, so what's happening is we're getting a cold of personality situation here. 44:51 Colder personality. So the VP proposes it, we got to defend it. And if you don't defend it, you're obviously a rhino, warmonger, isolationist. What else do they say? You know, they come up with these stupid phrases. 45:07 Now, I've been at this since I was 13 years old. 45:12 That is constitutionalism and conservatism. 45:18 Since I was 13, that's a long time. 45:21 And I've only written 10 books. When you write 10 books, you might as well write 20 books because you leave a lot on the editing floor because you've got to limit the size of the book, the length of the book. 45:33 I've got shelf after shelf after shelf after shelf. We're running out of shelves here. 45:40 I keep buying these small bookshelves. I keep putting books on them. We're out of space. 45:47 In two homes, we're out of space. 45:50 So when you get these little miscreants and malcontents who pop up and say, oh, you're an establishment conservative. I say, you know what? This guy's got an IQ of a cucumber. 46:01 We have a guy that's invented a brand new philosophy called NatCon or National Conservatism. 46:06 Gee, we never heard of that before. 46:09 Nationalism. We've never heard of that before. 46:12 Look, there's always a little bit of nationalism in what we support and so forth and so on. But we're not nationalists. 46:21 I mean, when you think of the framers of the Constitution, they were mostly federalists. 46:26 Federalism. 46:27 Federalism. State authority. 46:32 Meaning the states. 46:34 But even more than that, individual free will. 46:40 And so there's a sort of a the muddying of the waters, mush, if you will. 46:48 There's no new philosophy here. 46:52 Just stupid policy. 46:54 That's it. No new philosophy. Stupid policy. 46:59 They're not cons. 47:01 They're just cons. Not cons, neocons, whatever. 47:08 But I really don't think... 47:13 I really don't think we should be thinking about expanding programs. 47:18 I really don't think... 47:20 that we should be thinking about creating an entitlement for the vast majority of Americans. Who the hell is going to pay for that? 47:30 The vast majority of Americans, in one pocket, out the other. 47:34 Policy set on tax incentives, tax credits, tax breaks, to put money back into the private sector, back in your pockets. I can live with that for sure. 47:48 Or policies that wean people off of government, like school choice, weaning people off of government schools. People are out there actually saying, what's the difference between school choice and expanding this program for families? I'm like, uh, what? 48:03 Do you truly have to be dumb to be a so-called influencer? 48:08 School choice, the idea generally invented by Milton Friedman was how do you wean people out of the government-run school system? 48:16 homeschooling and so forth and so on. 48:19 He's the one that came up with it. And prior to the legal movement, in many school districts, homeschooling was considered truancy in order for them to block it. So groups like Landmark Legal Foundation, which I was honored to be associated with, and others brought lawsuit after lawsuit, federal and state, to stop that. 48:39 And to promote school choice. I'm well aware what school choice is. And school choice isn't about creating a bigger government or a bigger government-run school system. So there's a complete lack of reasoning and logic. 48:55 That's very perplexing to me that it needs to be addressed. 49:00 And I'm finding a lot of this is in the D.C. think tanks that you thought may have been conservative. 49:06 They're really not anymore. 49:09 Some are, but few. Just a few. 49:12 Or some of these institutions that we used to honor. I'm not going to get into which ones. Same thing. 49:20 Same thing. Now all of a sudden, government's good. If we control who gets the money, who it's redistributed to, what the program... No, no, no. 49:33 The central government's too big and too powerful. 49:38 We just reduced a quarter of a million federal workers. The President of the United States said nobody thought that was possible. 49:47 Nobody. 49:50 And he did it. 49:53 Anyway, this is out there going on and on. 49:56 You must be an establishment conservative. 49:59 Or... 50:01 You're actually a liberal. You got one of these eggheads, or quasi-eggheads, or sort of, I suppose, a scrambled egghead. He's out there with the invention of his theory. 50:12 Ted Cruz and I are liberals, Mr. Producer. 50:16 We're liberals. 50:18 Rhinos, warmongers, you know, they're just sort of shooting it out there. Oh, they're so brilliant. 50:27 Ladies and gentlemen, 40 trillion dollars hundreds hundreds of departments and agencies multiple hundreds of programs if not thousands trillions of dollars what's the new idea what's the new idea that's going to help families does the government help families is that what we've learned over the decades does the government help families The government needs to stop. 51:03 I'll be right back. 51:04 Mark Lovin. 51:12 I'm doing a quick customer satisfaction survey. 51:31 PureTalk was the only wireless company to receive five stars in every category, coverage, support, value, and data. And now, for just a few more weeks, PureTalk is offering unlimited data for just $15 a month for three months. And after that... Get unlimited data for as low as $34.99 a month with no contract. Go to puretalk.com slash Levin to make the switch to my favorite wireless company, Pure Talk. There's a better wireless choice out there, folks. It's called Pure Talk, and at just $15 a month for your first three months, now is a great time to choose Pure Talk. 52:08 Again, that's puretalk.com slash Levin, L-E-V-I-N. 52:16 This debate will be going on because we literally have people who are pushing this big government crap. 52:26 And I really do worry when President Trump leaves office. I really do. I really do. And I really do take it in every day how lucky we are that he's there. I'm not kidding. 52:40 I'm not kidding. 52:43 And when he's not there, it'll be obvious why. 52:48 And God forbid if these bastards win this midterm election, you've got to get out. You've got to vote. No questions. No second guessing. The primaries are over. Put it away. Forget about it. Forget about it. 53:01 Straight Republican ticket right now. That's what it is. Look, I have to hold my nose, too. Okay? 53:08 This is a different election. It's a different election. 53:12 Look, we started here. I hear others saying, we started the Tea Party movement. No, they didn't. First of all, it was spontaneous. But number two, Liberty and Tyranny, my book, this radio show, which is much bigger than all the rest of them, Hannity's one, I'm number two, no matter what anybody says. Facts are facts. 53:30 And we're the ones that got behind this. I'm the one that got behind Tea Party with Liberty and Tyranny. 53:40 And I'm just making the point. 53:43 We've got to be as active as before. We've got to be as united as before. We've got time to talk about this. 53:49 But if you have early voting, vote early. 53:54 If you have absentee voting, then vote absentee. 53:59 You can never be sure in some parts of this country if you're going to get to the polling time or maybe you'll be called away and it'll be too late. Get your vote in. I can tell you I'm going to vote as early as I can. It's that simple. 54:15 Forget about tradition. Tradition's over. 54:18 The SAVE Act, the President's trying to get the Save America Act passed. We got a problem. They're called Repubicants. It's the way it is. 54:25 So we do what we can. Each of us has a role. Each of us. Don't think you don't. 54:31 Well, I didn't give money. It's okay. Well, I wasn't working the poll. It's okay. It'd be better if he could do something. But if not, vote. Maybe if you're married or you have a friend, make sure they vote if they're going to vote the right way. If they're not, forget about it. But family members, friends, right? 54:49 People at church or at synagogue, just make sure it's a conservative synagogue. You understand what I'm saying. So just do it. 54:59 You're in charge. You're the precinct worker. You're the ward leader. You're the committee man, whatever you want to be. That's you. 55:05 That's you, Mr. and Mrs. America. We have done this before. 55:11 You and I have done this before. We've pulled this off. 55:15 Now, we don't get credit for it. Oh, those podcasters are so great. No, they're not. They're full of crap, and they don't do anything. 55:23 We do it. 55:25 We do it. 55:27 Not so much under the radar. We're on the radar, but we do it. 55:31 We don't get any attention. Why? Because the liberals, the liberals don't know how to do this, conservative talk radio. They fail, they fail, and then they fail again. So they've given up on it. So they pretend it doesn't exist. Good. 55:47 We own the field. 55:49 You and me. We own the field. 55:52 And we're the most activists of any of the radio programs and radio hosts. You and me. 55:58 Tea Party. We were anti-Republican establishment before all these weirdos there who want more government. You know, we're the anti-establishment. No, you're not. 56:09 You're worse than the establishment. You're big spending liberals. That's right, I said it. They're big spending liberals. That's what they are. That's what they are. 56:18 This program is moving too fast. It's halfway over. We'll be right back. 56:27 I'm doing a quick customer satisfaction survey. Two questions. One, is your current wireless provider giving you five-star service? Two, are you paying more than $34.99 a month for unlimited data? Now, if you think you're paying too much for subpar service, you should really switch to my company, PureTalk. In a recent industry survey, PureTalk was the only wireless company to receive five stars in every category, coverage, support, value, and data. And now, for just a few more weeks... PureTalk is offering unlimited data for just 15 bucks a month for three months. 57:01 And after that, get unlimited data for as low as $34.99 a month with no contract. Go to puretalk.com slash Levin to make the switch to my favorite wireless company. PureTalk is a better wireless choice out there, folks. It's called PureTalk. And at just $15 a month for your first three months, now is a great time to choose PureTalk. Again, that's puretalk.com slash Levin, L-E-V-I-N. 57:29 Yes, it's true that Mark Levin is the fastest growing radio show in America. The Mark Levin Show is on at 877-381-3811. 57:42 So Mark Dubwitz at the Foundation for the Defense Democracies. I've posted something to it, but I like the way he put it here. 57:50 The European Union looks to Israel. They're now reports out. They're looking to Israel to strengthen their high-tech air defenses and space capabilities. 58:00 And just so you know, America, this is what Israel brings to the table, even for us. 58:04 It's really quite remarkable. 58:08 Even as 11 European countries announce sanctions against Israel. 58:12 You hear that, Mr. Producer? 58:16 If I'm Israel, I say, you know what? You take care of your own defenses and your own space issues, you know? 58:22 Europe wants Israeli technology to help defend itself against Putin while browbeating Israel into accepting a Palestinian terror state. You believe this? 58:36 Israel should say no. No, we're not going to do it. 58:40 In my view. In my view. Enough is enough. 58:47 The European countries don't help us. 58:50 The European countries are worse. In the case of Israel, they actually want to see it. 58:55 I don't know. 58:57 But they must think they run Israel. 58:59 Now, they don't put sanctions on communist China for what it's doing to the Uyghurs or the Tibetans or the Christians. They don't even think about it. Because that's a big country with a lot of military, very strong. So they're hypocrites. What should we do in the case of England? 59:16 I'm now of a different mind when it comes to the Falklands, you know. 59:20 Maybe they should go back to Argentina. We have an ally there, don't we? 59:25 Are we ready for this one? Oh, this will really get them worked up. 59:28 Northern Ireland. 59:30 You know, for a lot of its history, Northern Ireland was part of really Ireland, at least in a very loose way. 59:39 Well, maybe we should reopen that one. 59:42 But as far as I'm concerned, the Israelis, what are they going to get from the British government? 59:48 Dental care? No, that they don't want, trust me. 59:52 What are they going to get? 59:53 The cuisine? 59:56 Fried fish and French fries? Now, I happen to be somebody who likes that, to be perfectly honest with you. Just being honest, I'm always honest. 60:05 I like fried fish with French fries. I'm eating a lot less French fries, by the way. 60:11 But fried fish, I like. 60:14 You know, I eat it with cocktail sauce. Do you eat fried fish, Rich? 60:21 So what do you put on it? 60:24 Nothing? Just fried fish? 60:27 Boring. But you know, I put the cocktail sauce. Most people don't do that. Put cocktails. Why? Why do I put cocktails? It's the closest thing to ketchup that I'm allowed to put on there. That's it. 60:38 That's it. That's all. 60:44 But seriously, I mean, you're talking about countries that have a long history of imperialism and colonialism. 60:52 Britain, France, not so much Canada. Canada's, you know. 60:58 Anyway, so there's that. 61:05 Abdul Saeed, excuse me, don't want to be disrespectful. Abdul El Saeed, running for the Senate, hates America. 61:13 Hey, look, by the way, when somebody hates America, you're America. They hate you. You understand what I'm saying? America is not some inanimate object. America is you. The American people, you're America. Mr. and Mrs. America. That's why I call you Mr. and Mrs. America. 61:32 So they hate you. 61:34 That's the whole point. 61:37 But don't worry, Medicare for all. Oh, okay. 61:42 Pound around with terror types. Don't worry, health care for all. Okay, yeah, yeah. 61:49 As long as I get my free, everything's fine. 61:52 You know what free health care is like? Crap. 61:59 You know, you get free. Can I get free? Sure you can. Sure you can. 62:04 Just wait in line for six months. But I have a heartbeat. I said, wait in line. Don't disrupt. Don't interrupt me. Don't disrupt the line. 62:13 I'll call security. 62:17 I mean, you're on the phone. Look, I have an oncology appointment. I'm sorry you're not on the list, Mr. Smith. 62:27 Look, this is very serious. You're not on the list, Mr. Smith. Write your congressman. Ask your congressman. Okay. 62:37 God. 62:39 What's incredible is so many people, and not you, not in this audience, but so many people in this country do not appreciate it. It's insane. It's insane. 62:51 Absolutely insane. You know, when I hear these guys, these clowns talk about extending this government effectively welfare or entitlement program. 63:00 So all parents of all economic sectors, they talk like communists. All economic sectors are covered. Why should it just be the poor? 63:10 Well, I don't know. Why don't I get food stamps? Why should that just be the I mean, how stupid is this? 63:16 Let's all go down together. The whole economy, the whole budget. Yes, yes. That's the new conservative. That's the not-con in you. 63:27 I can't do that. What are you, a warmonger? 63:31 You must be a Jew. 63:33 What? 63:34 What? 63:36 Oh, yes. At least sympathetic to them. 63:39 They're Israel. They're behind it. 63:45 Behind what? 63:46 Well, whatever. 63:50 Abdul El-Sayed. 63:53 Cut four, go. 63:55 Don't leave your faith at the door. 63:58 Don't apologize. No, I understand. He's talking at the convention of the Islamic Society of North America. This is a radical group, by the way. 64:06 Don't leave your faith at the door. No, no, no. Go in the streets. 64:11 Make sure you're outside of a synagogue or a church. Yeah, that's right. Don't leave it outside the door. Come on now. 64:17 Inside the door, outside the door. 64:20 Whatever door. 64:22 Go ahead. 64:23 Don't leave your faith at the door. Don't apologize for who you are or how you pray. 64:31 I don't know about you, but I don't see all these Islamists going around apologizing. Do you, Mr. Producer? 64:36 I'm sorry. 64:40 I'm sorry. 64:43 Do those words even cross the guy's lips, these radical Islam? No, they don't. I'm sorry. 64:49 Don't apologize. Don't apologize. 64:52 Go ahead. 64:54 Dad, bring your whole self to this. 64:57 Say what? I want to speak directly to the parents out here today. 65:01 How often is it that your kids tells you that I feel like I got a gift? 65:05 Okay, your kids don't tell you. They tell you. 65:09 Now this guy is a pretend doctor. He was running around saying he was a doctor. He's not a doctor. If anything, he's a mental patient. But you understand my point. 65:19 As the kids tells you, oh, you're going to be writing legislation? 65:25 Go ahead. 65:26 We say, you know that? 65:28 I don't quite know. 65:30 We steer them into safer paths. 65:35 If your child tells you, you know, I think I've got it in me to be that next great historian. I've got it in me to be a journalist. I've got it in me to run for office. I'm going to ask you to empower them in that journey. 65:55 America does not need us to cower backward when small-minded people tell us that we are not part of this place. 66:03 America needs... 66:04 Excuse me, dummy. 66:06 It's people like you who say you're not part of this place. Don't you get it, dummy? 66:11 You don't believe in assimilation, dummy. That's the problem, dummy. You don't promote assimilation. These imams I play... Can somebody give me an imam who promotes assimilation into the American system? 66:24 And has respect, but at least hands off when it comes to other faiths. 66:29 Can somebody show me that? No, we get the dummy here. 66:32 The dummy. Go ahead. 66:35 All that we have and all that we can contribute to the work of making America that great place it can yet be. 66:45 Excuse me, it is a great place right now. 66:48 Right now. Otherwise, what the hell are you doing here? Why did your parents come here and why are all these other people here? 66:55 That's right. They left really great places like hell holes in Syria and Yemen and Egypt. Everybody knows the Middle East is the place to go. The only place to go really is Israel. But, you know, the Arab countries, the Islamic countries, they're just fantastic. 67:14 Everybody loves them. 67:15 You're not allowed in. What do you mean I'm not allowed in? You're a Jew. You're a Jew. 67:19 You're not allowed in. What do you mean I'm not? You're a Christian. Excuse me? Yeah, that's right. 67:25 I'm not allowed in. What do you mean I'm not? I'm a Hindu. Oh, oh. 67:29 You're not allowed in. Why? I'm a Buddhist. Hell, okay. I can't go in? No, you can't go in and you'll never get out. 67:35 It's like the... No, I won't say the Roach Hotel. 67:39 I shouldn't say that. Should I, Mr. Producer? 67:42 Maybe misunderstood. Definitely misunderstood. 67:47 We'll be right back. 67:56 I'm doing a quick customer satisfaction survey. Two questions. One, is your current wireless provider giving you five-star service? Two, are you paying more than $34.99 a month for unlimited data? If you think you're paying too much for subpar service, you should really switch to my company, PureTalk.

It just goes fast. 69:06 Whatever happened to Colby Hall, Mr. Producer? Remember him? 69:13 Whatever happened to Kobe Hall? He fell off the edge of the earth. He was such an outstanding journalist, except when he got caught making up quotes over at Mediaite. 69:22 Now, as you folks know, Mediaite is owned by, the founder is, Dan Abrams. 69:29 Dan Abrams is also an ABC News analyst. And Dan Abrams has probably the most perfect wig ever. 69:41 That they, you know, crazy glue on top of his head. 69:46 I mean, it's a full scale helmet. Don't get me wrong, but it's like perfect. 69:53 When he goes to bed at night, you know, he's got to hang it up with his suit or whatever. 70:01 You know, you got to deflee it. You got to do stuff like that. But let's take a look at all the wonderful headlines on media just to entertain ourselves. Supreme Court rejects Missouri's appeal to restore GOP gerrymandered maps. 70:15 Chris Rock declares Trump got one crucial thing right. Almost clears him. 70:21 Fox's Kudlow suggests Ted Cruz announced presidential bid in November. 70:27 Reporter grills Tom Holman for three minutes over ice arrest at school bus stop. Okay. An ice arrest at a school bus? You can't do that. 70:36 Not at a school bus stop? No. Not at a restaurant? No. Not at a Home Depot? No. No. Not at a swimming pool? By God, no. 70:47 Nowhere. You're not allowed to arrest anybody anywhere. You understand what I'm saying? You got to go where these people are. No. No. 70:56 Well, how the hell are you going to arrest them? That's the point. Don't. 71:00 Get it? 71:01 That's where they're coming from. 71:03 They're really great over there at media, intrepid reporters. There's more here, but I bore you. We'll be right back. 71:16 He's here. He's here. 71:18 Now, broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. 71:35 Hello, America. 71:37 Mr. and Mrs. America, welcome back. You know, Ivanka Trump puts out a video of her riding a horse. 71:46 As the sun's going down on the beach, it's beautiful. Beautiful scenery. 71:51 And this horse is galloping so fast. I'd be scared to death, Mr. Perdue. Did you see this? 71:58 And her arms are out, so she's riding basically with her legs, which is really phenomenal. 72:05 And the toxic morons on the internet, left and right, tells us. Media-ite. 72:13 are criticizing her. And in economic times like this, that's really thoughtless, you know? 72:21 What are they talking about? 72:24 She's riding a horse on the beach as the sun's going down. 72:28 And that horse is galloping. I mean, that's not... What does it have to do with anything? 72:35 Economic. 72:36 Well, it just demonstrates, you know, the rich are the... Are you kidding me? 72:42 So do everybody have to pretend to be poor? Excuse me. And down and out? I don't get it. 72:48 You know, when I was a kid, everybody wanted to be rich. 72:53 They didn't want to be Karl Marx. 72:56 They didn't want to be Imam Muhammad. They wanted to be rich. They wanted to be successful. Maybe they wanted to be famous. 73:05 But, you know, we get hit in the head and we got our lives to live and we got to put food on the table with our families and so forth and so on. These are decisions we make. Sometimes we make them because we have to make them. 73:18 Other times because we want to make them. But why should I or anybody else say, what the hell is she doing riding a horse on the beach? 73:28 On dusk or is it dawn? 73:32 And I'm looking at it completely differently like, holy, you know what? How the hell did she do that? 73:39 Truthfully. 73:42 Truthfully. 73:46 I have no problem with it. 73:49 None. 73:51 None whatsoever. 73:55 And I don't know why people are whining about everything. 73:59 If you're unhappy with your life, fix it. 74:03 We're not going to expand or shouldn't. We might. The government program and add more debt to the debt. 74:10 There's nothing the government can do. There's nothing we want the government to do. That's the thing about freedom, isn't it? And free will. 74:19 Things don't always work out like you want them to work out. 74:22 And you know what a mature adult does when that happens? 74:26 They figure out another way to do it. Or they try it again. 74:30 They don't say... 74:32 Hey, that guy over there's got more money than me. 74:36 Take it from him. Get it, get it, get it, get it. 74:39 Excuse me? 74:41 I need a government program to be expanded to cover me too. What are you talking about? 74:50 This isn't the American way. This is the NatCon way. This is the Marxist way. 74:59 Look for government. Government's not going to do anything that's going to be lasting or worthwhile for you or your family. 75:05 I understand government's there if you have a little period of time where there's a problem, that sort of thing, and so forth and so on. We've got local government. We've got state government. We've got federal government. We've got county government. Government coming through our ears. 75:18 $40 trillion in debt worth. 75:21 The New Deal, the Great Society, the Square Deal, every smear deal you can possibly think of. 75:30 I got another program in mind. Again, I remember when Hillary Clinton said, I've got a million ideas. Oh, my God. 75:39 And then they wrap it in the same socialist, it's the common good. What's the common good? 75:46 Well, the common good, you know. What? We take care of the family. No, we don't take care of the family. 75:53 All right, you really want to have your heads explode out there? 75:59 If you're a husband and a father, okay, ready, Rich? Here we go. 76:05 It's your responsibility to take care of your family. Don't get me wrong. 76:10 Women want to work. They can work. 76:13 My mother's mother worked her whole life. 76:16 When work wasn't even, you know, considered a thing for women to do, she worked. 76:24 And she worked hard, and she raised two kids on her own. 76:30 And my mother worked her whole life. God bless her. 76:35 Her whole life, when she had three boys, rambunctious boys, she worked her whole life with the kids, us. 76:45 And she made it work. 76:47 Because if you choose to have children, that's what you do. 76:52 That's what you do. 76:57 The women in my family have all worked together. 77:01 They didn't need a government program. They didn't need a government subsidy. They didn't even think about government. 77:08 It's just instinctively the right thing to do if it's the right thing to do. 77:16 Stay-at-home moms, they work hard. I couldn't do it. 77:20 First of all, I can't breastfeed. You understand what I'm saying, Mr. Producer? But nonetheless, in all seriousness, I can't do that. Day in and day out, no way. 77:29 Okay, but that's why mothers are different than fathers. 77:32 Yes, they are. 77:34 And mothers have some, I don't know, innate character and talent that we guys don't and vice versa. It's okay. It's okay to be a guy and it's okay to be a gal. Did I say that? Yes, I did and I meant it. 77:50 But to me, if you're a father and a husband, Whatever your wife does, whatever you agree that she does, whatever she wants to do, in the end, it's still your responsibility. 78:06 Is that old school? I don't care if it is or not. 78:10 It's your responsibility. It's not the government's responsibility. It's not some jackass online telling you it's the government's responsibility. 78:22 Look at this, Henrietta. We got a $9,000 check for you staying home and working. 78:29 What? As a housewife? Am I even allowed to use that phrase anymore? I don't think I am. 78:36 Am I going to be dunked now? Housewife? 78:41 What did he say? 78:43 What did I say? I said housewife. No. 78:47 Don't ever say that again. Don't ever say what again? House or wife? Housewife. Don't say it. 78:53 Don't say what? Housewife. Don't say it again. Don't say it. 78:58 To stay home wife? What is it, Mr. Producer? Help me. 79:03 Stay home person? 79:06 Is that what you say about your wife? My person went to work today. No. No. 79:13 Whatever, you know what I mean, and I don't really care how it comes out, but you get my point. 79:19 And I worried about, oh, the language is just unacceptable. Jew, it's okay. 79:25 We hear this other stuff all the time. Did you hear what he said? What? 79:31 Really, the smart aleck. What did he say? It was very improper, very unclassy. What did he say? I don't know, he's a Jew. Oh, excuse me. 79:42 Just kidding. Relax. Just kidding. 79:46 So we heard enough of, I think, Abdul El Saeed at the convention of the Islamic Society of North America. 79:54 Do you think they'd let me in there, Mr. Producer? I think I'd get the eyes, boy. I'll tell you what. Get the eyes? 80:04 No, I don't think they're... 80:06 I think I'd be as welcome there as I would be in Mecca or Medina. And you know, if you're not a practicing Muslim, you're not allowed to be there. Did you know that? Did you know that, Rich? 80:16 You're not allowed to be there. But Israel's apartheid. Israel's apartheid. 80:21 Christians can go wherever they want. Muslims can go wherever they want. Arabs of any denomination go wherever they want. You know, this one, that one. Wherever you want, what you want. Apartheid. Meanwhile, You can't go to the Temple Mount. Wait a minute. That's Mount Zion, the holiest place in Jewish history. 80:41 Yeah, but we put a mosque there. You're not allowed to go there. Medina, this one, you can't go there. Why? 80:49 Or how about buying a house in Qatar? Honestly, the only person I know who's not Muslim who can buy a house in Qatar is Katarlson. 81:00 Katarlson. 81:04 Has he bought a house yet? Do we even know, Mr. Producer? Because I don't think he has. 81:09 You'd think he'd buy the house, he'd do one of his shows, you know, like one of those channels with House Hunters and so forth. House Hunters of Qatar. You know, they go there and he shows it. I wonder, why don't they do a show like The Housewives of Qatar? 81:29 You know that whole series they do? 81:31 Where they're pulling each other's hair out and everything else? 81:34 I think the housewives of Qatar would be very interesting. 81:40 Of course, they're covering their faces. They're covering their heads. You can't really see what's going on. But nonetheless, you can imagine. I'll be right back. 82:00 Welcome back, America. We have with us for the first time Bart Hester. He's the president pro temp of the Arizona State Senate. He came to my attention because when the radical left-wing government in the U.K. decided that they were going to boycott products from Judea and Samaria and beyond, by the way, out of Israel, he noted that, wait a minute, Arkansas, we have a law here to fight back against that sort of thing. 82:31 How are you, sir? 82:33 Man, it's great. Thanks for having me on tonight. It's my pleasure. So tell us about what Arkansas can do. I read what you were saying. The governor, your governor, Sarah Huckabee, Sanders has said the same thing. Tell us about it. 82:50 Well, what we can do in response, of course, back in 2017, the legislature bipartisan, maybe one or two votes against it in the entire House and Senate, said, look, if you're going to boycott our Jewish friends and Israel, then we're going to boycott you back from a state level. 83:06 So what I said today was, look, if countries want to start this, not just businesses, the state of Arkansas can respond and we can add countries to our list of those that we won't do business with if you're going to unfairly treat the people of Israel and the Jewish people. 83:20 There's now 11 European countries who are thinking about them. 11 European countries. Now, these are many of the same countries that are in NATO and don't help us. When we ask them for help, they don't help themselves. 83:32 In many ways, I would say, you're a state senator. In many ways, I would say, senator, is Europe is really kind of dying. And for them to try and project... 83:45 Their policies on the little tiny Israel that's, you know, it's fending for itself. It's defending itself. Even in Judea and Samaria, it's having to defend and fend for itself and so forth. What is it that Arkansas can do and what do you think Arkansas is going to do? 84:02 Well, you know, there's not a lot we can do except for say, hey, most of these countries, kind of tongue-in-cheek here, if they cease to exist, Arkansas may never know. The United States wouldn't affect us a lot. But if we have a problem with them, it's going to affect them in a big way. 84:18 And so what we can do from the state of Arkansas is say, hey, we're not going to do any business with you if you're going to treat our friends this way. 84:26 Now, do you have – I assume there's investments – maybe pension plans. Are you folks going to look at all that stuff and see what connections there are? 84:39 That's right. We're a small state, but we have billions of dollars in pensions. We spend billions of dollars a year supporting the people of Arkansas. 84:47 No doubt a lot of that money is spent through companies that are owned, not necessarily just in Arkansas or the United States, but have investment from From other places. And look, I believe they're making these actions because they're weak. 85:01 And then it shows. It shows they're weak in a lot of different areas. 85:05 The world is seeing that. And so they step up and say they're going to do something that I feel like they're not big enough to actually own up to. 85:13 We're going to see. 85:16 And here's the thing. What's going on today in Samaria, the West Bank, it was never the West Bank. It was the West Bank of Jordan that took it over in 47 and just occupied it. 85:27 And then the Israelis or the Jews at the time fought back and reacquired it. 85:33 And this is the literal birthplace, Senator, the literal birthplace of Judaism and the 12 tribes coming together. 85:44 in Shiloh in Judea. And so how can it be claimed that this land belongs to the Palestinians who didn't even exist? 85:59 Well, it's absurd. Look, just a few years ago, I took my whole family, all eight of us, paid for it myself, went and spent 10 days, and we walked, you know, we went all over Israel. We clearly went into the Judea and Samaria area. uh, we had a fantastic experience, but you have to, when, when you are there, it's hard for somebody that's never been there, uh, to have a lot to say about it. Right. Uh, you know, we've been there, uh, been, I've been there now several times. Uh, it's a very meaningful place to me and my family. Uh, it's something very meaningful, uh, in our Christian faith. 86:32 Uh, we, we say that, uh, I heard Michael Huckabee say this, that, uh, uh, the Jewish people, uh, They have no obligation to the Christian faith, but the Christians have absolute obligation to the Jewish people. You know, our Lord and Savior was Jewish born and Jewish died. 86:49 Mm-hmm. 86:53 Why do you think Britain, I feel like these left, it's these left-wing governments. There are sort of conservative parties who they're trying to win in these various European capitals. They're trying to win these elections because, you know, their countries are under assault. 87:09 But these left-wing, and they're really left-wing governments in Europe, they're open to all this kind of immigration, and there are tax laws. 87:18 on israel while communist china is doing what communist china is doing are they doing it because it's small they doing it to appeal to this growing uh movement or the migration into their countries why do you think they're doing this well we see a lot of uh people ignorant people say crazy things in the united states but 87:39 In Europe, they get to say crazy things because they live under the protection of Israel and under the protection of the United States of America. So they get to say crazy things. And while on the when the doors are closed, they've got to be thankful for the protection Israel provides them as the United States. 87:56 Well, very interesting. So we'll keep an eye on this. And, you know, Tom Cotton's a close friend of mine and a great friend of the program, too. You know, Tom, well, don't you? 88:07 I do. In fact, I'll tell you, the reason I filed this bill back in 2017 was, you know, Senator Cotton called me and said, hey, have you ever heard of this anti-BDS? And I hadn't. And he goes, educate yourself. Let me send you information. I think it's something the state of Arkansas needs to do. And we did that because of the leadership from Senator Cotton on a federal level, passing that down to me on a state, and we were able to deliver. 88:29 He's one of a kind. He's a man of great character. I'm very, very proud of our friendship, my family's friendship with him. 88:35 And we appreciate what you're doing there, Senator, as well. It's very, very important that each state, there's 40 states that have laws, 40. It's important that they step up. Some of the blue states won't step up, but all the red states at least should step up. God bless you, my friend. 88:52 Hey, well, thank you so much, and we're in this fight. Thank you for continuing to fight every day, and appreciate our friends like you talking about it, getting it out to the people. Appreciate AIPAC, the Israeli-American Council, who spend the time, effort, and energy to come into states and help pass this type of legislation. 89:09 Well, God bless you, brother. Thank you very, very much. 89:13 I was thinking, Mr. Producer. 89:16 Maybe I should bring him back on Fox. Do you think that everybody would lose their minds on the anti-Semitic left and right? 89:28 I don't know the guy. I've bumped into him once in my life. 89:32 Wouldn't it be perfect to just ask him what do you guys do and so forth so we could take all the mystery out of it, don't you think? 89:40 Maybe I ought to bring him on radio first. 89:43 But I think I should do it. I really do. Now, they tend to be more liberal than I am, to be perfectly honest with you. We'll be right back. 89:55 This is where Hollywood liberals come for rehab. The Mark Levin Show is back at 877-381-3811. 90:05 Let's take some calls, shall we? I think we shall. All right, let's go to Gary Winslow, Arizona, the great WBTK. Go! 90:16 Yes, sir, how are you doing this evening? 90:18 All right, buddy, how are you? 90:19 I'm doing well, thank you. 90:22 I'm getting so tired of these Muslim badmouths in the United States if they don't like us. When I was a kid, we had a bumper sticker that said, America, love it or leave it. Yeah, me too. Why would you go somewhere if you don't like that country? 90:38 I'm going to tell you why. 90:40 Because they've been told to conquer us. 90:45 And they're already admitting that on the TV, on the radio, so we've got to do something about it. We've either got to. 90:51 I would like our ruling class to figure out what to do and do it. 90:55 You know, it's very frustrating, isn't it, Gary? 91:02 Very frustrating. 91:04 We've got people that are on zoning boards. 91:07 They need to step up. We've got people who are in local government. They need to step up because this is where a lot of the action is. 91:14 On the other hand, I think Biden regime and the Democrats have let so many people in here from the third world who do not want to assimilate, particularly from the Middle East and so forth. 91:28 People who don't want to assimilate should not be in the door. That's it. That's it. We all have different backgrounds. We assimilate into the greatest country in the face of the earth. It doesn't mean we have to give up our ancestry, but it means we're part of the American culture, whoever we are. 91:44 But when you have people preaching that that's not what the faith believes and that's not what Sharia law requires and Sharia law is the highest law for you in this land, well, obviously that can't work, can it? 92:00 Not at all. Not at all. I did two tours over there in Iraq and in the Middle East. 92:07 If they did over there in their own country what they're doing here in our country, they'd be beaten. probably raped, and then they'd be beheaded. 92:16 They'd be taken out back. 92:20 Or no, maybe they'd be made a public display is your point. I think you're right. And by the way, thank you for your service, Gary. God bless you, my friend. 92:27 And I agree with you 100%. We've got to get our heads around this thing. 92:32 We, the public, there's only so much we can do, but we need to show up at school board meetings. We need to show up at these zoning boards. These zoning boards and these zoning board members should be made famous. And if they're bad, they should be made infamous. 92:45 They've been operating in the shadows long enough. 92:48 They have to approve these mosques. They have to approve these centers or what I call these segregated fortresses. You're not even allowed to walk into these places. 93:00 You're not welcome. 93:02 It's crazy. 93:04 Let's go to Dallin, Idaho Falls, Idaho, the great K-A-O-X. How are you? 93:12 I'm doing great. It's a pleasure speaking with you, and thank you for taking my call. 93:17 Thank you. You were talking a little bit ago about this $9,000 program and the $40 trillion in debt and the $300 trillion in IOUs. And I came up with a thought a few years ago that I wanted to share with you that I don't think there's 10 politicians in Washington that understand this. 93:34 One trillion seconds, not minutes, not days, not hours, one trillion seconds was 32,000 years ago. So if you times that by 40... 93:46 and we paid a dollar a second, it would take us one and a quarter million years to pay off the debt that we have at $40 trillion. 93:55 Crazy. 93:57 How did we ever get that far in debt? 93:59 We're not going to be able to. 94:01 It's not even about paying all of it off. We're not paying it down. 94:05 And we have entitlements. They're out of control. You know, they can blame Trump all they want, but it's not Trump. This has been going on a long time. And you remember Doge and Elon Musk and the president, their team, trying to find places to cut spending. Who was howling like a stuck pig? Who was squealing like a stuck pig? The Democrats. 94:25 Who else? The media. 94:28 And they start with their stories. This one's going to die. This one's going to go without this one and this one and this one. 94:35 And this is really there's two presidents in my lifetime who tried to take it on. And that was Reagan and Trump. And Trump really has done a fantastic job. A quarter of a million federal jobs have been removed. 94:48 And but, you know, he can't do it by himself, not not under our system of government. And he and Musk. 94:56 And their team, I mean, they were coming up with stuff and they came under withering attack. 95:02 And so now you have phony conservatives. You have people actually in the administration, too, who are big government, you know, like light socialists. 95:16 And if somebody raises a concern like me, did you know I'm an establishment conservative? What the hell is that? 95:25 What does that mean? Somebody has to speak up against this stuff. 95:32 And we're not helping working families. We're not helping women. We're not helping fathers. We're not helping anybody by adding another penny to this debt. There are certain things the government need to do, like protect us, like have a strong military. And we've been, you know, basically leeching money out of the military to pay for all these other programs and so forth. Well, we need to reverse that. But I don't think we've got the guts to do it. I don't think we've got the talent to do it pretty much. And now they're off and running about. 96:02 Not cons you hear that phrase national conservatism. It's nothing new What it is is basically more spending more government more intervention, but we're gonna do it better. Don't you know? 96:15 No, we're not All right, I have silenced you with my genius. 96:21 All right, my friend. Thank you for your call. I appreciate I know it's a lot to digest. It's very frustrating Very frustrating Let us go to Joel, Surprise, Arizona. A great affiliate there, WFSX. How are you? 96:43 Hi, Mark. I'm doing great. Thanks for taking my call. Yes. I just wanted to reflect on 9-11. I remember it as a beautiful, sunny day like most people. I don't think there was any clouds in the sky across the country. But now the cloud in the sky is Mondami. Yes. 97:01 And 150,000 people signed a piece of a document saying that they don't want him there for that day of memoriam. 97:12 And there were people speaking out. The families, they said they don't want to have a fight. They just don't want him there because he endorses Hassan... Puker. Yeah. And then the... 97:30 Mullah, or whatever you would call him, the guy that endorsed 9-11. And it's just disgusting. And the thing about Mondami is, I can't stand his smirky smile. He was only nine years old. What the heck does he know about 9-11 other than hating America? And he's one of those people who's an installation for Islamic jihad. 97:56 Remember, he was endorsing international jihad. Remember all that? 98:01 Yeah. People need to understand jihad means military-style or terrorist-style attacks on Jews. That's what it means, jihad, international jihad. He was endorsing it. Now, this guy's the real deal. He's not the Manchurian candidate. He is the Islamic candidate. He's exactly... 98:22 He's exactly what we've said he is, and he's made it abundantly clear. Every now and then I'll burp some comment like, you know, it's not nice to stab a Jew in the heart or something. But generally speaking, he is exactly what we knew he would be. Thank you for your call, my brother. We'll be right back. 98:39 Mark Levin. 98:51 Let's go to Jason, Kensington, Maryland, the great WMAL. Go right ahead. 98:58 How are you going, Mark? How are you doing? There you are. How are you? 99:03 Good, mate. How are you doing? I'm all right, brother. Now, hold on. 99:07 Remind me where in Australia you're from. 99:11 I'm from a little area called the Sunshine Coast, and it's just north of Brisbane on the east coast, central east coast. 99:17 Man, I just wish I remembered the town my soon-to-be in-laws are from. 99:26 Oh, darn it. I'll know next time you call. All right, go right ahead. 99:30 You have a real problem with this Clancy trial. I mean, you know, if you're going to blame women's hormones on, you know, killing your children, what are they setting a precedent? What are we going to have to start checking women now with some sort of test if they work in the child care industry? Are they going to start testing women for possible home viral problems that could cause harm to children. I mean, it's just... 99:51 But this is a very important point you mentioned. There was an op-ed written by this in the New York Post, I think it was last week, by a very courageous woman whose name escapes me. 100:02 And she said, does this mean we can't elect women to the presidency, or they can't serve as generals, or they can't fly jets, or they can't do a thousand other things? 100:13 I mean, she said, this reliance... 100:18 On the hormonal issues and so forth and so on is very anti-woman and will set the entire, you know, career woman path backwards because because of the arguments that are being made about this killer. 100:36 Go ahead. 100:37 No, it's ridiculous. I mean, the thing is, to all this money these people have raised, mostly these lefty women, the money should be given to the husband. I mean, they've raised all this money. And the thing is, these are the same people who support abortion, of course. It's almost like an extension of abortion. They think, well, it's my body, my choice. I can go out there and kill my children and blame the hormones for it. Well, some of them, clearly. 100:59 Some of them, clearly, you're right. 101:02 All right, Jason. Thank you, brother. You take care of yourself. Let's keep moving. 101:06 Joe, Grapevine, Texas, the great WBAP. How are you, Joe? 101:12 I'm great, Mark. How are you, my friend? 101:14 I'm doing well, thank you. 101:17 Well, good. It's an honor and a privilege. Mark, I believe Texas Instruments is still going. I know the highway around there is just, you wouldn't even recognize the roads around there now. 101:27 I think it was called Central Highway. Does that sound right? 101:33 It's 635. It's off 635. 101:36 Way back when. 101:36 And 75. 101:38 Yeah, 75 was the one that ran in front of it. 101:41 Well, here's the thing. When I was there, it's a long time ago. You know, I was in my 20s. 101:45 Plano was nothing. I mean, it had like maybe 25,000 people tops. 101:52 I almost bought a house there for like $30,000, $32,000. And now it's a hopping suburb. It's a very important Republican suburb, which is precisely why. 102:03 these Islamists put that epic, or whatever they called it, fortress where they are and where they did. 102:12 Well, talking about that, Mark, the reason I called, it's pertaining to that, as well as the real estate business. We had someone on this channel a few days ago, maybe a week ago, and it was pertaining to the real estate business and the banking. There has been a lot of these... 102:32 excuse me, S1B1 visas that have moved in here. 102:37 And AI apparently has come in, and some of them, let's talk. 102:40 Joe, do me a favor. Call back tomorrow. We're out of time. 102:44 We're out of time. I'm sorry about that. Do call back tomorrow. Call early so you get in. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers. 102:54 ICE, we love you folks. Thank you. 102:57 The men and women in Israel, the men and women in Ukraine, the men and women in Iran. We haven't forgotten you. See you tomorrow, and God bless.
