On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Iran’s “civilian” nuclear program, housed in bunkers 350 feet underground, is not normal. How many nations that have civilian use for nuclear power are we negotiating with? Only Iran. Iran is not interested in civil nuclear power. The reason we don’t want Iran to have nuclear weapons with ICBMs is because they keep threatening the U.S. The fifth-column isolationist ideology is a grave threat when they defend Iran. Also, Sen James Lankford has no idea what he’s talking about on due process, while an analyst on MSNBC gets it right. Concurrently, while judges are blocking Trump’s deportation of illegal aliens, another judge is ordering the administration to bring in illegal aliens. Have you ever heard of a judge ordering a president to allow aliens into America? If this isn’t fixed by the Supreme Court and/or Congress, then we live in a post-constitutional America. Later, the Democrats are out to destroy Sen John Fetterman, who’s turned out to be a moderate. He’s pro-America and pro-Israel, and that’s not acceptable in his party. Afterward, what’s going on in Florida right now is a disgrace, RINO’s are working to destroy the state. The Florida RINOs and corporatists, working with Democrats, are trying to turn Florida purple. Finally, Victoria Coates calls in to discuss her new book, The Battle For The Jewish State: How Israel—And America—Can Win.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. It’s amazing all the people trying to reach me when all I do is post and speak the truth on radio and TV. Apparently I’m confused about things. You see, America. I’m as clear eyed as ever. I am poised. I’m on my toes, clear eyed as ever. See what’s going on with India and Pakistan now. I mean, they can come to real blows and they have in the past and they’re both nuclear powers. I think my friend Charlie Kirk, and he is my friend. And he is pro-Israel. I think he said the other day, if I if I read correctly, that India and Pakistan have nuclear weapons. What about Iran? I think, the great foreign policy genius, Margaret Taylor GREENE. He put out a whole list of why she hates America. And why we are the imperialists, the colonialists and everybody but her and everybody before her was a bonehead. Good to know. I believe she wants to be a member of the United States Senate. The reason we don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon with intercontinental ballistic missiles is that they keep threatening the United States. That seems to me to be very rational, sane. That a country, a third world country that has no air force, has no ability to defend its nuclear sites. But we’re being told to swear off. We’ll work out a we’ll work out a deal. The deal of all deals with terrorists who, of course, always comply with deals. And by the way, they can have nuclear power if they use it for civilian purposes, you know, and for energy, which apparently is why they have a 350 foot deep bunker at their biggest site. Because isn’t that where most nuclear utilities operate from 350 feet under the ground? With advanced centrifuges, of course. No, we’re not stupid, Mr.. Mrs. America. We’re not going to be played. Whatever decisions are made are made. But we’re not going to be stupid. No, America is not a bad country. Now, the other thing is about Iran. I really don’t understand this. Iran. Maybe they can be part of the world economy, you know, once we have an agreement or something. Iran is a terrorist state. Its people hate hate the regime. And so I’m sitting here thinking, what happened to the anti globalism? What happened to We should have no democracy projects. Now I’m hearing about a democracy project without democracy. We don’t want that regime to be successful, because if it’s successful, it means the people in the country are going to continue to be raped and tortured and murdered. You can have a hands off policy with respect to regime change. But you don’t affirmatively reinforce the regime, do you? Am I missing something there? So Democracy project without the democracy, just a project. We welcome you into the world economy. Just behave yourself. Now, when you’re part of the Fifth Column isolationist brigades, your positions become increasingly untenable, increasingly stupid. And it’s a grave threat to me and you, Mr. and Mrs. America, the people of the United States. It is a grave threat. This ideology, this ideology, we do not want a nuclear war. We do not want our country hit by nuclear weapons. We do not want the complete obliteration of hundreds of millions of Americans that right now would be unstoppable if somebody had an intercontinental hypersonic missile with a nuclear warhead on its tip. Maybe they’ll have six missiles, maybe ten or maybe over time. 100. Only takes one. You don’t play. Iranian roulette. With a terrorist regime that keeps talking about destroying us. Look at Pakistan now. Pakistan is loaded with terrorists. India is actually a democracy. Now, maybe they don’t control the terrorists who attacked India and didn’t just attack India, hit population in tourist centers in India, said Enough of this crap. Pakistan. Or at least parts of it, has a close relationship with the Taliban. The Taliban have a very close relationship with the Iranians and the Qataris. Now count me as opposed to playing footsie with all these terrorist regimes. There’s just too damn much at stake. Very simple. Some reputable pollster. Maybe there’s one or two of them left. Not to put out a question to the American people. Do you support Iran having a nuclear warhead on an intercontinental ballistic missile that can hit the United States or not? And you know what you’re going to get? 98% of the American people that with immigration at all. Let me change that. 89% of the American people will say, of course not. Of course not. So you and I, we’re on the right side of this. It’s called sanity. It’s called intelligence. We’re not ideologues. It’s called prudence. It’s that simple. This civilian use of nuclear power by Iran. We’re not stupid. Civilian use of nuclear power by Iran. Tell me how many nations and I’ll repeat what I’ve said before here. How many nations that have a civilian use for nuclear power? Are we currently negotiating with to ensure that they don’t get nuclear weapons? One. Iran. The others aren’t seeking nuclear weapons. Iran is. How is it that the disreputable terrorist supporting. anti-American, Jew hating United Nations. Has a stronger position than the Fifth Column isolationists in our own country. They know that the Iranians are trying to build nukes. Why? Because they they banned scientists from seeing certain of their sites. Now, it’s one thing if you’re an ideologue and this is your position. Iran can get a nuke. It’s just it just has to be managed. I think that’s kind of the position of my buddy Charlie Kirk of I’m wrong. He can text me and tell me, but I think that’s what I heard him say. But if that’s the position, say it. Defend it. Explain it. But as others do, Don’t lie to us. Charlie doesn’t lie. That’s his position. He says it. But others are lying. If that’s your position, say Iran can get a nuke. Iran can get a nuke. But we’re going to negotiate a deal. Now, ladies and gentlemen, their deals and their deals. How many deals would terrorists last? Can you name one? How many deals with the Palestinian terrorists have lasted? Not one. Not one. How many deals with any terrorist regime last? None. They’re terrorists. They don’t. They don’t comply with the law. They’re going to oh, we have a contract. We have a deal. We’re going to honor it. Now they’re not. They’re buying time. The North Koreans bought time. Pakistanis bought time. They’re buying time. Now. I’m sorry. This is called reality. You know, I love these guys. They have a realist foreign policy. I am Mr. Realist. I am Mr. Reality. Mr. Reality. You’re listening to Mr. Reality right now. They’re the ideologues. Their position is ideological, which means no matter what happens, no matter who says what. That’s their position. And they’re not going to move off the point. Fine. I’m not interested in them. It’s not my my life’s role and goal to influence boneheads. But I will do what I can in my little way, behind a microphone, behind a television camera on the Internet. With the tens of millions of people who listen to this to alert you so you can draw your own conclusions. I will never lie to you. The Iranians are not interested in civilian nuclear power, period. They’re not. They don’t need it. They have no infrastructure for it. Nothing. They’re 350 feet in a bunker underneath the earth. Among other places. That’s the reality. That’s real farm policy. As Pakistan and India have drawn swords, nuclear swords. We don’t ever want Iran drawing nuclear swords with us doing. And don’t blame the Jews and don’t blame the Israelis and don’t blame Gerald Ford and Dwight Eisenhower and George Washington and Iraq and Vietnam and not Hey, focus. This is what the the fifth column isolationists I’m talking to focus. Stop throwing the shiny objects. It ain’t going to work. My audience. You. Red blooded Americans. Many of you have fought many of these wars. You voted. We got the vote out. We got the man who we wanted. We didn’t vote for all these Lilliputians and these reprobates, The Whisperers. The special players from Iran. The special players for Qatar. They’re special players for Ben and Jerry’s, for God’s sakes. We didn’t vote for the anti-Semites. We didn’t vote for the anti-Americans. No, we didn’t. You can say this about Donald Trump. He loves this country and he loves the American people. You don’t have to agree with everything he does, although I have agreed with an awful lot of it. But, you know, he acts from love of country. Some people do not. You’ve got people. The fifth column isolationists who sound like Bernie Sanders. They have the Bernie Sanders foreign policy. They sound like the squat when it comes to economic policy. They sound like socialist protectionists. That’s not we constitutional conservatives. That’s not Make America Great Again, which started in the second Reagan term and has been embraced fully by by Donald Trump. That’s not populism. Insanity is not populism. Self-destruction is not populism. There’s nothing popular about it. I guarantee you, the vast majority of the American people, you do not want an Islamo Nazi regime threatening Americans. The same ideology that took out our towers in New York trying to take out our Pentagon and did grave damage. Tried to take out the White House, the Capitol, with that plane the heroes took down in central Pennsylvania. The Jews didn’t do that. The Israelis didn’t do that. The neocons, the warmongers, the enemy did it. The enemy did it. And the enemy still there. And now they want a nuclear weapon. What do you say, America? Is that okay with you? I don’t think so. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Well, I guess I called it, didn’t I, Mr. Tradition. My so-called speculation last night about this hoodie situation. And I can find what you sent me here, Rich, that I had you a cut and paste for me so I could actually read the damn thing. Here it is. Here was, you know, I had to do it after. And I hear this headline Times of Israel. Iran Pressed Houthis into Truce with the U.S. to build momentum in nuclear talks. Something in smell right here. Why would the Houthis all of a sudden say, you know, days just days before the the talks to begin again with Iran and two days after they hit the the airport in Tel Aviv? Two Iranian officials say Tehran persuaded Yemen rebel group to stop attacking U.S. shipping. Washington sources say Oman mediated move aimed at furthering nuclear negotiations. Iran leaned on the Houthis to reach a truce with the US over attacks in the Red Sea. In a move aimed at pushing along negotiations for an agreement over Tehran’s nuclear program, according to reports. But it gets even stranger than that. Quite frankly, America, in fact, much stranger than that. Yemen. Update Mahdi Al-mashat, a chairman of the Supreme Political Council Houthis Presidential Council, stated that they have indirectly informed the United States that continued escalation would affect President Trump’s planned visit to the region, emphasizing this was the only message conveyed. He added that whether Trump chooses to halt his operations and address its consequences is entirely his decision. Meanwhile, Mohamed Abdul Salam, head of Yemen’s negotiating delegation and key spokesman, reaffirmed that Yemen’s military operations in support of Gaza will not stop. That is their attacks on Israel. He said the Americans involved themselves in backing the Israeli enemy. He also noted that the US had communicated through Oman, but the only thing that had shifted was the American stance, not Yemen’s. He dismissed recent American claims of a supposed surrender, stating it is a reflection of Washington’s failure and inability to protect Israeli shipping. What is really shipping? The world? Shipping goes through there. He concluded by saying that their support for guys will only grow stronger. And on and on and on. These people are defiant. This is a tactical move to try and get this negotiation underway, which did now to try and get a deal. And we shall see how this proceeds. But I sniffed this out last night. It just didn’t make sense to me what was taking place. And there it is. It’s confirmed by Iran and the Houthis of all people. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
I don’t know who Danny Cevallos is, and he says he’s an MSNBC legal analyst. I don’t know what his views have been on anything else, but his views on due process were correct. Were right on. When it comes to illegal immigrants. We have a senator from Oklahoma, Lankford, who has no friggin idea what he’s talking about when it comes to due process. Neither does the Byfield, a large tribe. The Joe Biden of the retired Harvard Law School professoriate. I did spend some time on one of my monologues recently on my FOX program, and here I explain in great detail due process. That? No, everybody doesn’t get due process. Number one. Number two, the due process depends on circumstances. Sometimes it’s just a formality. Sometimes it’s just a show up and then out the door you go. Sometimes it’s bigger than that. But for the Democrats and the left, they want to use full blown due process that’s applicable to citizens in every one of these instances in order to ensure you have 21 million people who get backdoor amnesty. That is revolution by immigration and backdoor amnesty means. Unless the Supreme Court fixes this, and I don’t think they will. Birthright citizenship. The Constitution does not have birthright citizenship, but doesn’t seem to matter anymore. So if you have birthright citizenship. With all these illegal aliens and then chain migration on top of that, it’s over. It’s over. That simple. Tobar. So, Danny Cevallos, it is MSNBC, aka Marcellus, the legal analyst on the Morning show show. I would normally play this, but the guy the guy actually said the truth, actually said, what is the truth? And we have a legal analyst, even on our own side, who don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. Cut nine. Go! Federal law allows for even broader and speedy removal than has been used in the past. And expedited removal, as you talked about, allows for summary removal. That means. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Summary removal. Now, what’s that based on federal law? And there’s nothing unconstitutional about it. Zero. It’s been used. It’s been in place long before Donald Trump was president the first time. Which means long before he was president. The second time. Got it. Go ahead. Ering possibly within 24 hours. It hasn’t been used as broadly as, say, the Trump administration might want to use it, but under the statute it is permissible to remove aliens who arrive at the border and even those who have been here for two years. Although that two year provision you talked about is the lesser used in practice. But just because it isn’t used very often doesn’t mean it’s a part it’s not a part of federal law that can be used. And it will be used because it’s permitted under federal law. Stop there. Stop! Stop right there. I’ve said this myself. Seems to go over the heads of many of these people. It’s in federal law. I’ve also explained that the Supreme Court has issued several opinions. Involving when, if and how due process applies. Most of which. Provides no consistent policy. But anyway, go ahead. It’s decided that aliens who arrive at the border and they define people who arrive at the border as people who have even been here two years. If they have fraudulent documents, if they don’t have sufficient documents, they can be removed in an expedited fashion unless they seek asylum. So that. Right. So they can be removed on the spot. Because they have phony documents. Let me give you an example. If you’re an American citizen and you’re in the car and you have a phony driver’s license and you’re stopped, you can be immediately arrested and sent to jail. Now you’ll get a hearing and all the other things that follow. But for the time being, you’ll go to jail if you’re an illegal alien. You come across the country and you have phony documents. It could be snatched and removed. There’s no basis for it. There’s no reason for a hearing. Other than a rubber stamp. Go ahead. Did those due process concerns, at least presumably because that statute as it exists today, is still valid. Now, that’s not what’s at stake with the Venezuelans and the alien insect. But the government’s argument is that, hey, Court, listen, you’re telling us we need to provide notice. Well, take a look at this federal law. It says that we don’t even need to have a hearing. It can happen within 24 hours. So if that’s a good if that’s good enough for people who arrive here who are aliens, it’s certainly okay for people that the president has deemed to be alien enemies. So let’s stop here. You understand the president has plenary power here. He’s got enormous power. Not just this president, any president. I remember when the state of Arizona was trying to. Force the Obama administration when the governor there was trying to force the Obama administration through to apply Section 287 and only to get into the weeds, but to apply the section of the statute. That required. Local and federal government to work together. That is ICE and local authorities or state authorities to detain and remove people who are here illegally. The Obama administration wouldn’t do that. So the lawsuit was brought by. Arizona in the Supreme Court said, sorry, Arizona. Basically, the feds have plenary power here. You don’t. So now it’s the reverse. Okay, plenary power. So the president, United States is saying, okay, you, you, you, you you’re out of here, you Venezuelan gang members, you’re terrorists. You’ve been sent here by Madrid. Get out of here. No, no, you don’t understand. What? What changed? What are you talking about? He is not old law. Well, that old law is newer than the Constitution. They keep citing due process. Under the First Amendment, the Bill of Rights adopted by the first Congress and then sent to the states for ratification. That’s older than the law that they’re saying is too old. That’s number one. Number two. The president has every authority to say this is an invasion when another country sending its people into this country. The word is the word war is not in the statute. It’s not war. It’s invasion. That’s what immigration is about. The movement of people. An invasion. Go ahead. That’s it. So this guy was pretty good. He said more. But this guy was pretty good. But then there’s James Lankford. Now, remember Lankford? Lankford was the stooge. I say, with all due respect. Lankford was the stooge. Who did Mitch McConnell’s beating. Remember this? Mr. Biden is. Who put together that phony bipartisan bill. Phony bipartisan bill that even McConnell decided to vote against. Coward. They gave the store away when they pretended it didn’t. That enshrined in the federal code. The actions that Biden had been taking even worse. Because you see the border was secure until it wasn’t secure. And they blame the Republicans. They blame Trump. Even though six Senate Democrats voted against it, too, as they tried to explain again and again and again. But it doesn’t matter. It’s all a lie. Took well, willpower took Donald Trump. He secured the border. The border is just as tight as it ever has been. It’s never going to get any tighter. That’s how amazing. Trump and his policies are here. Amazing. And it just took the president to do it. No new laws or anything. The whole thing was a ruse. It was a scam. And Lankford. Lankford was the point guy for the Republicans. And now he’s here. Listen to this Cut tango. What’s been confusing on this is some people see due process like it’s an American citizen. That’s a right to a jury trial. That’s all. Is everything. That’s not true for due process for someone who’s not a citizen of the United States. It’s a different process. It’s often just literally when people call an immigration judge is not a typical federal judge or a state judge. This is someone that’s in the bureaucracy that their task for DHS is that task on it. So they’re they’re a government employee career that’s an immigration judge. So it’s a very different process forward. But yes, there is. And there’s a need to be able to give an opportunity for someone to be able to make an argument before they’re removed in the country now, but not in all cases. You heard the other lawyer. You’ve heard me. That’s not what the Supreme Court has said in every instance. It’s simply not. It’s simply not. And don’t lecture people like me. Some people think it’s full due process. It’s the left that wants full due process in order to kill the system. Cloward and Piven. Overwhelm the system. Destroy the system because we can’t handle that. When the Democrats are talking about due process, they’re not talking about administrative due process. They’re not talking about this law that Congress passed. An old law still applies. You know, the Magna Carta still applies, the Bible still applies. But this law, you know this over there, they are dragging out the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 and throwing it at Donald Trump. Oh, that’s an old law. But that’s a good old law. These people are frauds and phonies. Why does anybody go on CNN? I don’t understand why Republicans go on set. They literally have no ratings. They have no audience. America, I see the ratings. There’s nobody there. Why do they go on CNN? I don’t understand it. And what happens is CNN does their gotchas. They get clips. They push it out. But I’m tough politician, you know. I’ll go anywhere. I’ll take on anybody. I don’t get it. Why go there? At least MSNBC has standards. They’re hard core Marxist Islamists and they stick with it. They don’t want to hear from this Republican or another Republican, just the backstabbers. Yes, the 80 Trumpers. Those are the only Republicans they want. But at least they have standards. Mark this Islamic standards, they’re evil standards, don’t get me wrong, but CNN. Tina, there’s no there’s no reason for CNN to exist, let alone MSNBC but CNN. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
Kash Patel, FBI director. He’s at a budget hearing today. And these Democrats are really loathsome, thoroughly loathsome. Clip 11, go as you and the president continue to weaponize and investigate is perceived enemies as you follow this blueprint? When can I, a former impeachment manager, expect the FBI at my door? Ma’am, you want to know who was targeted by a weaponized FBI? Me. You want to know how and why? You want to know what I’m doing to fixing that? Let me move on. Well, you should read the book because there’s no enemies list on that book. There are people that violated their constitutional obligations and their duties to the American people. And they were rightly called out. And you should give that book to every one of your constituents so they can read about it. I won’t be doing that. That’s their loss. Now, that’s the way you answer these bastards. K-12 go. During your Senate confirmation hearings, you repeatedly denied having any involvement as a private citizen in the firing of FBI officials who engaged in the prosecution against January six insurrectionists, the violent rioters who beat and killed the January six insurrectionists. They weren’t charged with insurrection and they didn’t beat and kill police officers. Anybody who committed an act of violence should serve prison time that is beat a police officer. I agree with that. But I don’t remember any officer being beaten and killed. I remember a protester being shot and killed. I remember that. But all of a sudden they’re worried about cops. You know, the Democrat Party, they forget all about 20, 20 precincts burning down. Cops were killed, other people killed, Riots, arson, brutality. Now all of a sudden, they defend cops. This this Democrat Party is worse than schizophrenic. I told you before, they’re civil. They got 23 personalities. All of them suck. Go ahead. And whom you refer to as political prisoners. Since then, multiple whistleblowers have come forward, and we know that you likely committed perjury at the same hearing you claimed you were not familiar with Stew Peters, an anti-Semitic Holocaust denier, despite the fact that you appeared on Mr. Peters podcast eight separate times, eight times, and you claimed not to recall Mr. Patel. My second question is should we worry more about your memory or your veracity? We should worry more about your lack of candor. You are accusing me of committing perjury. Tell the American people how I broke the law and committed a felony. You have the audacity to actually put the facts forward. Answers that of lying for political banter so you can have a 20 seconds. Our nation hit. The answer is both. I believe that the answer is you’re failing, not me. My time. Go ahead. Oh, by the way, I saw this to Peter’s guy, this clip. It was presented to me by my executive producer on The Blaze. This guy is a complete lowlife. What a pig. What a pig. What a poisonous slime ball. That’s right, you punk. I’m talking to you. You know nothing. Your giraffe crap on the bottom of my sneaker. That’s what you are. You’re what’s left in my Kleenex after I blow my nose, you little puke. Yeah, tough guy. Sick bastard. Really sick. There’s a lot of sickos out there in America. A whole bunch of them. He’s definitely one of them. And so Scott was at a House Financial Services Committee hearing. I only have a minute left, so I can’t get into this, but you got to hear some of this. She can see the kinds of questions that Democrats are asking. They’re very, very interested in getting to the bottom of serious subjects and issues, are they not? As they try to character assassinate every single Trump person that goes up and testifies. That would be the Democrat Party. They call all of you neo-Nazis. That would be the Democrat Party that repeatedly lied to us about the mental health of Joe Biden. That’s pretty outrageous, folks. If we could impeach them, we would have impeached them a long time ago. We the people. It is a party that embraces and uses as a as a symbol, a man who repeatedly beat his wife, who’s a member of MS13, who is human trafficking, an illegal alien. Garcia. He is the he’s the face of the Democrat Party. He’s the background of the Democrat Party. I’ll be right back.
