On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, 2 days after the Houthis struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport with a ballistic missile and 4 days before negotiations with Iran – the Houthis surrendered. This seems odd. Then afterward the Houthis say they will continue to attack Israel, even after the ceasefire with the U.S. What’s going on? Have you noticed how much the fifth-column isolationists sound like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the rest of the Squad? And not just on foreign policy and national security. They often use the same Marxist class warfare propaganda and the ACLU’s extremist misinterpretation of our Constitution including the 1st amendment. Also, we know that Democrats goal to transform the population through immigration to undermine and dismantle the existing societal structure. The Constitution doesn’t grant due process to everyone, and the Supreme Court lacks clarity on its meaning. Democrats want to extend full due process to 21 million illegal aliens, which is not possible due to limited courts and judges. This is a strategy to allow illegal aliens to come in, then keep them here by arguing due process. If they succeed the country is dead. Later, Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports are causing economic disruption in China, leading to protests as workers demand unpaid wages. This is positive but the Trump administration should hold off on negotiations right now, they should slow walk it. The tariffs are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Well, something just happened that kind of blew my socks off. Really? Kind of shocking. I hope you will, America. Hope everybody is doing well. Mr. and Mrs. America, my brothers and sisters out there. But I want you to first hear President Trump. Several hours ago. Today in the Oval Office cut 14 go. And we had some very good news last night. The Saudis have announced that they are not where they’ve been announced, at least that they don’t want to fight anymore. They just don’t want to fight. And we will honor that and we will we will stop the bombings. And they have capitulated. But more importantly, they we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore. And that’s what the purpose of what we were doing. So that’s just news. We just found out about that. So I think it’s very, very positive. They were they were knocking out a lot of ships, going, as, you know, sailing beautifully down the various seas, that it wasn’t just the canal, it was a lot of other places. And I will accept their word. And we are going to stop the bombing of the Houthis effective immediately. So two days after the Houthis hit the Israeli airport in four days before. Negotiations continue with Iran. The Houthis surrender. Seems kind of strange, doesn’t it, Mr. Producer? But it gets worse. I’m sitting here. I’m shocked. Because this just broke literally. Houthis attacks on Israel to continue after ceasefire with the United States. Attacks on Israel to continue after a cease fire with the United States. The head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-mashat, warned Israelis remain in your shelters after agreeing to stop attacking international shipping. The Houthi affiliated al-Masri news station reported that Al-mashat warned Israelis to remain in their shelters. President Trump said today that the Hootie rebel group has communicated that it will stop attacking commercial shipping following the attacks by the U.S. and Israel in recent days. And the U.S. would cease its attacks on hoodie targets as well. But the Houthis have announced they don’t want to fight anymore, according to the president. Now Israel has struck a hoodie, targets in Yemen over the last two days in retaliation for a ballistic missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday. And they basically blew off blew the the Yemeni airport to smithereens. Well, what does this mean? It can mean many things. Number one, the president didn’t know at the time. That the Houthis said they won’t attack ships, but they’ll continue to attack Israel. Does it mean the administration knew that that excluded Israel and therefore it cut Israel off and cut it loose? You know, we talk about nuclear weapons and Iran and the Houthis with ballistic missiles and Israel supposed to just sit there and take it, take it from the anti-Semites in our own country, on the left and on the radical kook right who seem more and more don’t these people these. You know, there’s this fifth column that we have, This fifth column? Isolation. Don’t they sound like Bernie Sanders? I was thinking about this today. Don’t they sound like all the kooks on the left now? And I don’t just mean in foreign policy, domestic policy. They don’t believe in capitalism. They sound like socialists. They sound like big government protectionists. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. They have more in common. These people. Bernie Sanders and AOC. And people of that ilk than they do with me, than they do with any Reaganite conservatives, constitutionalists. They look at the First Amendment and they think they’re the ACLU. And they lie. But let me go on. So I’m unclear as I speak to you tonight. And remember, here we deal in facts and principle. I am unclear to you tonight what’s going on? Hoot. These were on hit international shipping, but they’re free to hit Israel. Free to hit Israel four days before we go back Saturday to talk to our friends, the Iranians, our friends, the Iranians. Remember, Qatar’s doing God’s work. Qatar’s doing God’s work. And we’ll talk to the Iranians. And this guy Warner, this Senator Warner the other day says, hey, the way we get peace here is to stop fighting Hamas and get the hostages out. The idiots not even talking about Iran. The idiot isn’t even talking about Iran. Well, let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen. The Israelis have nuclear weapons. They have nuclear weapons. They’ve had nuclear weapons for over a quarter of a century. That many nuclear weapons. Isn’t it funny that nobody fears Israel using it? Isn’t it funny that the WHO does don’t fear Israel using a nuclear weapon or Iran fears Israel using a nuclear weapon or the U.N. fears Israel using a nuclear weapon or our State Department fears Israel using a nuclear weapon in that amazing the fifth column. Isolationists in this country keep wanting to drag us into a war. They could end it tomorrow. They get they all damn thing tomorrow. If they wanted to. Whether it’s Iran, the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, they could put an end to it tomorrow if they wanted to. But notice. Notice. Nobody fears that they will. But we fear that the terrorists will. Which is why they shouldn’t get a bomb. I don’t know what the hell’s going on, quite frankly, but I don’t like it. I don’t even comprehend it. I don’t comprehend it. And it’s going to take a little time and not a lot. To figure out what’s taking place here. In my view. I don’t believe President Trump would cut and run from Israel. I don’t believe we do that. We’ll see. If the whispers. At the fifth column, isolationist. And by the way, you know, there will be an election in 2028. And I want to warn those fifth column isolationist, you know, there’s a lot of warning that we’re going to be watching how you vote. They say the podcast is. There is no way in hell that me or my audience, most of you are going to vote for somebody who’s an isolationist, a fifth column isolationist. That’s not going to happen. Period. Over my dead body. That’s not going to happen. We’re not going to put this great nation. This great nation at such risk because this small cabal of idiots, boneheads, morons think they know how to run the world. They act like Marxists. They think the world begins today and everything else that came before is wrong. Everybody else who came before it was stupid. Everybody else who came before didn’t know what they’re doing. But they know what they’re doing. Why? Well, one’s 30 years old, one’s well into his fifties, has had 50 different positions on the same thing. Once flip flopped and flop flipped. Oh, yes. Okay. They must be right. They sound like socialists. They do the class warfare crap like Marxists. They have a Bernie Sanders foreign policy. What is that? That the new Republican Party? No, I don’t think so. I don’t think so. Now we shall see how this plays out, because it’s. It’s a little confounding to me and I suspect. I suspect this stuff about the hoodies and it did, as I’m looking at the timeline here came later. Came later. All that said, I think the Israelis. Demonstrated to the Houthis that they really don’t need anybody else. They took out their airport. Mr. Producer. Their airport does not function. Their main airport in Yemen is dead. It’s dead. And for all those that say I’m tired of helping Israel, Israel’s helping us. They’re fighting the enemy in the Middle East. Imagine if we’d allies all over the world fighting our enemies. They’re fighting our enemy in the Middle East and their enemy in the Middle East, too. Obviously. Obviously. Something about this doesn’t smell right to me. We’ll find out. We’ll see. Something about this. And then I read here that the. Uh, that our government didn’t inform the Israeli government. Of the cease fire. How is that possible? I mean, when you have an ally, let’s pretend the name of the ally is x, y, z, x, y. How is that possible? You’re in a military operation effectively together. I don’t get it. Maybe that’s why Marco Rubio won’t come on this program. Did you know that? America. Open your microphone, Rich. How many years have we tried to get Marco Rubio on this program? Oh, yes. Not four or five years. Yep. He’ll go everywhere. He’ll go on CNN. He’ll go meet the Press. He’ll go on MSNBC. He won’t come on this program. Why? A couple of weeks ago? Nothing. We tried a couple of weeks ago. Zip. Did you even hear back from anybody? No. No. What am I, the enemy? Crazy, I suppose, to support him for president. 2028. No way. It’s just weird. I’ve got plenty of good questions they ask. Not offensive. Not. Not aggressively. Just some basic questions. Very weird. Pete Hegseth. I’ll show up. What’s used to show up. J.D. Vance has tried to. Come on. I was out of the country. I’d love to have him back so far. Have they gotten back to us? Right. Not yet, but we may still pull that off. No Ruby or no. More open to him here won’t come on the Fox show. We’re open to him there. We’ll take them on airborne radar and sonograms will do that. He’s fairly ubiquitous. I’ve never understood Republicans. I will go on CNN, MSNBC, on Meet the Press. Well, deface the nation, go on with STEPHANOPOULOS, but won’t come here. But they won’t come here. What’s that all about? I’ll tell you what it’s all about, because we’re principled, we’re conservatives. We have some questions. I am not hostile to my guests. A couple of times over 20 some years. Yes, when it’s broken up, but very rarely we try to elicit answers. We want answers. But right now, this is kind of a mock to me, this whole hoodie thing to try and sort it out. It’s kind of it’s kind of a mess to me. I’m I am thrilled. They’ve said they’re not going to hit any more ships, but then they immediately here, I’m just reading it right here in the news. Now, this came out much later after the president. Misspoke, but somebody is going to declare this up. Because right now it is not clear at all. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
I just think the timing of all this is weird. You know, I have a sense for these things all of a sudden, okay, we give up. We give up four days before we meet with the Iranians again. And two days after they hit the. Israeli airport. We give up and give up. But, you know, we’re still going to keep attacking Israel. Okay. We’ll see how this plays out. So I give you a heads up on that. We’ve got other things to get into this tonight. A lot of other things to get into tonight, as a matter of fact. Welcome to the program. The Democrats had hearings today. Are absolutely disgusting. There is no no class left in the Democrat Party. None. None. I think it really it started before Pelosi, but she really was the was the progenitor of this. In so many ways. With her attacks on Trump and the impeachments and all the rest, they the door was thrown wide open. And so you have these malcontents and miscreants and reprobates. You have Islamists and Marxists. Socialists, many people in that party who hate the country just the way it is. While they wave around the Constitution and talk about democracy. They know. We know. You know, here we’ve talked about it for over 20 years now that this goal. I’m using immigration to change the population, to change the demographics, to change the citizenry is a Democrat Party project to destroy the existing society and replace it with another, to destroying the existing citizenry and replace it with another. It’s a massive power play. Massive. President Trump is pushing back as hard as he can. And I’m sick and tired of these these candidates, former federal prosecutors and others lecturing us about due process. We’re well aware of due process. We don’t oppose due process. They do, the Democrats. But there’s due process and there’s due process. Due process can be you’re on a list. You’re here illegally. What do you say? Yes, I am. You’re out in some administrative forums. That’s enough. So when they throw around the phrase due process, what they really want to do is tie this whole thing down in federal courts and make it impossible to remove people. And I want to pursue this. We’ll be right back.
Segment 2
I’m not a politician. I don’t want anything from anybody, let alone the government. I seek no office. None. Zero. But, Mark, you were appointed by Donald Trump. I ask for nothing. Nothing. I do my own writing. The others don’t. I do my own thinking. The others don’t. This is who I am. This is what I’ve always been. I try and figure out using my own noggin what’s right and what’s wrong. What’s good and what’s evil. And how to insure with you. All of us together. The survivability of this republic, despite the enemy within and the enemy without. I believe in loyalty and I believe in alliances. People who share certain belief systems and values working together. Not only within our country, but outside our country. Otherwise, the enemy will destroy us. The enemy will unite with other enemies and destroy us. If we do not unite with people of like mind and belief systems. To fight them or at least prepare to do so. Should we be attacked? I’m not an isolationist because the enemy is not an isolationist. I don’t believe in appeasement because appeasement has resulted in the death of millions and millions of our fellow human beings. I give no inch to the Marxists who’ve killed 100 million people. No inch to the socialists who have destroyed economies lifestyles. Created impoverishment in one so-called democracy after another. I don’t care. Who has a big voice. Who has a small voice. It was a big podcast. It was a small podcast. There’s a big radio show or small radio show, Whether they’re on TV or not on TV, that is irrelevant. Tell me who is on TV 30 years ago. You don’t know who was on radio 60 years ago. Some of you know. Most people don’t. Get my point. When people sound stupid, they’re stupid, but people sound like they’re nuts. They’re nuts. They’re not new. They’re not inventing something. They’re not developing new ideas. They’re losers. That’s what they are. You know, life becomes complicated, but life’s principles are not. The Golden Rule. The Ten Commandments. Be decent to other people. Tell the truth. Don’t lie to your audience. I’m not into this called a personality step. What did Tucker say? Or Joe Rogan. Or this one or that one. They say good things. Good. They say stupid things. Then they’re stupid. That’s the way it is. And if they say anti-Semitic things, then they’re poison. I love this country. I always have and I always will. And so do you. That’s what I care about. My country. And my family. And my fellow citizens. It’s that simple. I don’t have any sugar daddies funding my program. I don’t have any ideologues funding my program. I don’t have any foreigners funding my program. I’m as clean as can be, straight as can be with you. I hide nothing. Nothing. I don’t have any weird. Weird relationships that would cause me to come on this program and lie to you. I can’t say that for some of the others. That’s for sure. That’s for sure. I treat you like I treat my family and my friends. Because you are my family and friends as well. I don’t have other people write my books and then slap my name on it. And then do book signings and. Book events. I can’t look you in the eye. On the few book signings that I do that the Reagan Library or Bookends or Barnes or wherever. I can’t look you in the eye. When you stand in line, you pay your hard earned money. We shake hands. I thank you for coming. And I’m showing you crap that I never wrote. I can’t do it. I can’t do it. I can’t promote products on this program that I don’t believe in. I get a whole long list of them. Right. Mr. Producer, how many times do I say no, no, no, no. Other people. It doesn’t matter. It could be hemorrhoid cream, it could be whatever it is. They’ll say it. They’ll push it. I can’t do it. I can’t do it. And I’m not going to do it. You’ve got one life to live. Live it well. Live it. So when that day comes and. You’re going to meet God. We’re not perfect. But, you know, you did the very best you could. That’s how I think. What am I going to say to God when I meet him? You might think I’m simplistic. That’s fine. That’s what I do. You know, when you write a book as an example. It’s a very. Soulful experience. It’s a soulful mix, but you have to dig down deeply. You’ve got to think things through. You really have to. Give it your all. Give it your best. Especially when you write books like I do. My wife always says, Boy, you picked the tough subjects. This isn’t a brag. This is a fact. I could retire tomorrow, not miss a beat. I don’t need any more money. I’m not saying that to be rude or obnoxious. I’m saying that to convey to you that I do this because I want to do it. I don’t need sugar daddies from overseas or anywhere else funding me. I want nothing to do with them. I don’t want anybody funding me. We’re in the market with advertisers and so forth and so on. That’s how it works. The free market. I love the free market. That’s real competition. Socialism isn’t competition. Protectionism isn’t competition, Mr. Hawley. Open capitalism. That’s where people are freest. This is where people have opportunities. This is how poor people become non-poor. And I’ll tell you one other thing. I don’t like politicians. Certain politicians I like, don’t get me wrong, as you well know. But as a rule, guilty until proven innocent. There’s politicians I like. Some of them are on the program. You hear me praise them and thank them and so forth and so on, because they’re they’re a cut above. Their cut above. But as a general matter, I don’t like them. I’ll have someone here from time to time. I won’t do a conga line of senators and congressmen just to fill time. It’s not going to happen. It’s not going to happen. Journalism today is a lie. There is no real journalism today. There are pockets of journalism, the exception. But the rule is there is no real journalism today. It’s why I wrote on Freedom of the Press. How do I know? They’ve told us. They’ve told us what? What motivates them. They told us how they they go about doing their business. You see who these corporations hire tonight? Theology of one kind, not another. You see NPR and PBS. It’s outrageous. And I think I speak for millions and millions and millions of you and these views. I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be here. And you wouldn’t be there. You know, a ham radio. Our wonderful AMM affiliates. They’re struggling. They’re fighting like hell to hold on. And I want to do everything I can to help them. We need radio AM and FM radio. We need it. We accelerated. And we also should embrace the new technologies podcasting, satellite radio, streamlining and so forth and so on. And we do on this program, we’re on every one of those platforms. But AM radio and FM radio. Look, there’s only so many people who can do this. Well, there’s only so many people who are syndicated and have real audiences, serious audiences. It’s the marketplace. It’s capitalism. And what I mean by do it well. Is treat you, the audience, with the respect that you deserve, the respect that you deserve. When I get upset on this program or I’m passionate on this program or angry on this program, that’s me. It’s not an act. I can go from being cerebral in one minute, from being very passionate in the next. This is my life. This is who I am. And many of you are the same way, whether it’s at the dinner table, the breakfast table, stuck in traffic or whatever it is, open your damn mail every day. There’s always some crap in there, some bill you’re not expecting. And I don’t even like looking at my mail anymore, do you, Mr. Peterson? There’s always something in there. I don’t know what it is. But that’s who we are. I’ve always said there’s a difference between philosophy and ideology. Philosophy is a thoughtful reasoning process. You come to a philosophical point of view and you may change it or adjust it. But ideology is not. Ideology is what the the Islamo Nazis are. Ideology is what the the Fifth column. Isolationists are forever wars. Everything is are forever war. Even when the war is not even begun, it’s a forever war. You’re not ideologues. You may have a belief system, a value system, philosophies, but you’re not ideologues. There’s a difference. I’m not an ideologue. I’m not a journalist. I’m not a phony. I write my books. I’m not a phony. I write my monologues. I’m not a phony. I do my own research. So I cannot stand people who try to pull the wool over your eyes, whether they’re in TV or radio or politics. I can’t stand it. And yet I see it even amongst our own. I see it. I’m speaking from the heart here. I see. And I always have to make a decision. Do I really want to cross the line and start calling these people out or not? So from time to time I do. A lot of these politicians, they have PR people, communications directors, a lot of people in the bureaucracy or even cabinet officials and so forth. Same thing. Where should they appear? How should they present themselves? They go on with their five or six talking points. I can’t stand it. I prepare my own show and sometimes I start this microphone. I go and I drop everything I was thinking about because I’m thinking about something else that I think is more important because something just happened or something crosses my mind and I want to I want to convey it to you. I hope this helps you better understand why I said the things I said in the first half of this program and in yesterday’s program. About this conniving grifter. Fifth column isolationists. About some of these politicians? Not all. Some are very earnest and have and have given up a lot. Of an alternative life that they could have led and done very well. So I respect them and I’m not including them. But. The other ones. There’s a lot of them. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
By the way, there are some smart people who write their own books. There’s just not many of them. There’s a handful of us that. SHAPIRO He writes his own books. Josh Hammer He writes his own books. There’s a handful of us. The vast majority do not. And there are others who do, too. I just can’t remember everybody off the top of my head. It’s more than that. It’s just I just can’t deal with the facades. It’s just too much. All right, let’s. Let’s get down to work here. How much time do I have, Rich? Well, when we return, let me put it this way. Here’s Christina trying to do the right thing, trying to enforce federal immigration law, which hasn’t been enforced. Trying to get murderers and rapists and pedophiles and the worst of the world’s sleaze bags out of this country. And all they do is attack the woman attacker over and over again. Politicians, Democrat politicians. They didn’t give a damn about all the women sold in the sex slavery while they were in power. They didn’t. They don’t give a damn about the 325,000 missing unaccompanied minors. All the fentanyl, all the drug cartels pouring into our country, the terrorists and all the rest. You tell me these people love our country. They hate our country, which is why I despise them. But you’re going to want to hear some of this. We’ll be right back.
