On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, no, Mark did not lobby President Trump on Iran policy, despite what the fake news is saying. The President knows Mark’s stance on Iran, which aligns with Trump and MAGA – prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Outlets like Politico are spreading false narratives and propaganda, particularly from isolationists and Iranian sympathizers. Mark is not leading a lobbying campaign of “GOP hawks.” The problem is Iran, not those warning about Iran. Also, a federal judge ruled against a lawsuit filed by California’s AG and Governor Newsom, affirming Trump’s authority to deploy the National Guard without state approval. Democrat leaders failing to address the L.A. riots are politically motivated, aiming to secure voter bases through open borders, birthright citizenship, and chain migration. Later, the Democrat party exercises negative power. Negative power is a coercive force that suppresses individual identity, sovereignty, and liberty. Used by authoritarian entities like communist or fascist regimes, it aims to dominate society rather than serve it, eroding free will, self-worth, and aspirations. Finally, the Democrat Party seeks permanent power and control, rather than just winning elections. Their strategies, such as maintaining open borders, opposing deportations, and criticizing ICE, are designed to build a loyal constituency, particularly through future voters and their children under birthright citizenship. Democrats tolerate waste, fraud, and abuse in programs and contracts as long as these benefit their allies and solidify their power base.

Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Last evening we spent two and a half to 3 hours on what’s going on in L.A. and the rest of the country with the insurrectionists. And we’re going to spend a lot of time on it this evening as well. But before I do. So I called the president of the United States early this morning, which I don’t often do. He and I are very close friends. And, you know, this upsets the isolationists and the fifth columnists and their media mouthpieces and propagandist. I said, Mr. President, have I lobbied you about Iran? He said, No. I said, Mr. President, when we met last week that I lobby you about Iran. He said no. I said, Mr. President, did I ask to meet with you or did you ask to meet with me last week? Said, I asked me with you. He said, Why? I said, because we have a group of people who are pushing propaganda. We’re pushing a narrative into Politico and other places. That suggests the opposite. Well, Mark, why don’t you ignore them? Ignore them because you and I both know it’s not true. It’s very important that you folks understand. I’m going to continue. I’m not going to get into what I discussed with a president who wants to meet with me. There were a number of subjects that came up as far as Iran goes. The president knows exactly where I stand on Iran. And he told me he knows exactly where I stand on Iran because he watches my shows on Fox on Saturday and Sunday. The whole world knows where I stand on Iran. The fifth columnists, the isolationist. Know where I stand on Iran. I suspect the Islamo Nazis in Tehran know where I stand on Iran. So why is that a secret? What I am not doing and what I would not do to Donald Trump is lead a lobbying campaign of hawks. As was put in Politico warhawks. I’m not leading any lobbying campaign. I have an organized any lobbying campaign, but it doesn’t matter. So somebody and some group. A cabal. I’m putting out these leaks to entities like Politico. Politico is untrustworthy. They took $8 million in subscriptions last year, 2024 from the taxpayers through the government and so forth. But I can tell you, they’re liars. I can tell you. That the main writer of this piece, Rachel Bait, is a liar. That Rachel Baid is a propagandist, that Rachel Baid is a scribe for the isolationists, for the Iranian special plotters. And let me tell you something, America, these Iranian special plotters like Chatsworth House, PA Jr and others, they are making it, in my view, very difficult to get a deal with Iran because Iran, apparently, from what the president said yesterday, is more arrogant, more in-your-face than they’ve been before because they watch our media. They watch the Chatsworth. They watch the others. Some of the people in the White House. For undermining the president of the United States. They see it and they hear it. And so they think that is a. A majority position of the United States when it is a tiny minority position of these reprobates and malcontents and miscreants. Now, it’s not a complicated issue. Under no circumstances should Iran get a nuclear weapon. That’s the Trump position, the MAGA position, the Reaganite position, the rhino position, the position of everybody who has to brain cells to rub together. The debate is over whether you can trust an Islamic terrorist regime that has already lied its way through multiple administration and has signed numerous documents with the U.N., with Europe, with anybody they want. And yet here we are at the 11th hour, and then we’re told it’s not the 11th hour. There’s some question about the intelligence, says Tulsi Gabbard. But Tulsi Gabbard is the only one. The IAEA says we’re on the precipice. The Austrian intelligence says we’re on the precipice. Our own head. I’ve tried to find it. Central Command says they’re on the precipice that they can have nuclear material in one week if they sprint to it. He just testified to that today. The Israelis say they’re on the precipice and they have the most to lose if there is, in fact, a military campaign. So. But Politico. So there’s some kind of question about this. Now I know who’s leaking. There was a big article in the New York Times a couple of years ago about Chatsworth Osborne Jr. He’s been in Washington his entire life. He’s worked the system his entire life. He’s got all kinds of media at The Washington Post, a politico, and everything rails against the left. But he uses the left and they use him. I don’t have any of these contacts. I don’t talk to any of these people. If I put him into a lie detector test right now and asked him one media outlet, the other, he’d flunk if he lied. So that’s the difference. I tell you the truth, I’m not working through any media. I’m not undermining the president. I’m not lobbying the president. I give my opinion if I’m asked. And, of course, I’m paid to give my opinion here and on TV and on Blaze. It’s that simple. My views are almost, almost completely in line with the president’s. Almost. I’m not changing his views. I’m not making his views. I don’t treat him that way. Now I know who the leakers are. Just a matter of time. In remarks at a monday Business Roundtable, President Trump made clear that the uranium proposals thus far are unacceptable. Quote, They’re asking for things you can’t do, Trump said. They don’t want to give up what they have to give up. They seek enrichment. We can’t have enrichment. We want just the opposite. And so far, they’re not there. None of this appeared in the Politico piece. None of it. I didn’t say this. I didn’t urge the president to say it. He said it. He said it all the leaking to Axios and the leaking to Politico and the leaking too. It’s the isolationists who are doing it. It’s them. They’re doing it. They’re trying to undermine the president. And what they’re actually doing, America, is they’re making his job a thousand times more difficult for the reasons I said. The Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran watches them, listen to them. Here’s what they’re saying. And they say, wow, this influencer, he has no problem with it. This person in the administration, they have no problem with it. And so they they are emboldened. They’re emboldened. So last week, I’m not going to tell you everything that was discussed. I had a meeting with the president at his request. It’s leaked to the media and then they put a spin on it. Levin is lobbying Trump on the war. He has my opinion. I gave my opinion. It’s the same opinion I’ve given to you day in and day out, the same opinion I’ve given on Fox. Day in, day out, same opinion I’d given on plays day in and day out. And there’s no surprise by anybody for anything. I’m not lobbying for anybody. I’m not lobbying for a group of people. And yet this is what these dishonest reprobates want you to believe. Why? Because they’re desperate. They’re the ones who have ties to Qatar. They’re the ones who have ties to Putin. They’re the ones who have ties to all these bizarre, evil regimes. They’re the ones who are mouthpieces. The special players for the enemy, not me. I was raised properly. I know who the good guys are and the bad guys are. I’m not a former Democrat. Who’s now in the administration. Attacking in her own way. The brave men. Who had to drop atomic bombs on Japan. To end what could have been a forever war or where we might have lost up to a million soldiers. This is. This is sick. Sick. In my humble opinion. I’m not a hawk. I’m a realist. A realist. Foreign policy is about prudence. It’s not about hawks and doves. It’s not about ideology. This is what Rachel Bay is literally too stupid to understand. I’ve written about it in liberty and tyranny. I’ve explained it over and over on this program. She doesn’t know me. She doesn’t listen to this show. She doesn’t watch Fox. Now she’s planted this information is planning to her by Catch Born and the others, Chatsworth and the others. And she runs with it. She also works for ABC News, so she works for two media organizations. That have serious questions of credibility. An influential group of GOP hawks has launched a behind the scenes lobbying offensive, pressing President Donald Trump not only back to back off his administration’s quest for a nuclear deal with Iran, but greenlight an attack on Tehran by Israel. When did I do that? A lobbying. What did she. A lobbying offensive. An influential group of GOP. Who am I working with? The campaign is raising alarms among Trump and his allies, among Trump and his allies. Did they even talk to the president? He would have laughed at them. Oh, and by the way, at the end of the call. Invited my wife and me to have dinner at the White House in the next month or two. Enough. I said, You know, that’s funny, because if I do that. It’ll be more of the lobbying campaign by the hawks on Iran. And he laughed. And I won’t tell you what word he used, he said, but don’t worry about that. I’m not worried about it. During a private lunch, writes Rachel Bate and Felicia Schwartz. With the president at the White House last Wednesday, conservative talk show host Mark Levine told Trump that Iran was days away from building a nuclear weapon. Have I said that here? Mr.. But is. Have I said it on TV, Mr. Producer? An argument Trump’s own intelligence team has told the president is not accurate, yet his military advisers apparently are telling them it is accurate and so is the CIA. So who are these intelligence advisers? We know who. According to an intelligence official, I counted five anonymous sources in her article. Not one of them would go on the record. Not one of them had the courage to go on the record. Not a damn one. So here’s Rachel Bay. A fraud, a liar who goes with five anonymous sources, lies about me and my relationship with the president and the whole stories about how our war hawks are lobbying the president. And we’re not. Certainly I’m not. And then the isolationist. She doesn’t call them isolationist. She doesn’t call them any any pejoratives? Nothing. It’s all one way. The five anonymous sources. And she goes on. On a separate front. MAGA loyalists have been warily eyeing Rupert Murdoch’s papers, particularly the New York Post. Ah, see, this is the giveaway. Chatsworth. Chatsworth. Whatever the hate for Fox they’ve been won’t take your crap. He doesn’t like bullies. More than happy to engage with you. They’re trying to push the president to make a decision. That’s not what he wants, a senior administration official told POLITICO. Off the record, of course. That’s one of two people. And they know I know who they are. This person, person like the others in the story, was granted anonymity to speak freely. Wow. Amazing. And to spread their lies. That’s why they spoke anonymously. So Rachel begged. We tried to get her on this program to discuss her story. We asked her twice, didn’t you, Mr. Producer? And she ignored you. She ignored you. She does commentary for ABC News. She’s the Washington writer for Politico. But she ignored Mr. Producer. I wanted to have her on here. I wanted to challenge her. I wanted to challenge her on the anonymous sources. I wanted a challenger on the lobbying. I wanted a challenger. And what happened in the meeting? But she’s a coward, like they all are. She’s a fraud. Rachel Bade. Bade, now you’re on my radar screen. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Now, I do happen to know from friends of the White House that Chatsworth Osborne Jr is constantly lobbying the White House, attempting to lobby the president, Vice President Gabbard and others on this issue constantly. And in this article, the moron who wrote it, Rachel Bay, doesn’t realize she says the lobbying has triggered. Now, where is where’s our buddy here? She mentions Charlie Kirk. You know, I’ll tell you some about Charlie Kirk. I like Charlie Kirk. He’s very honest about his positions. Doesn’t mean we agree all the time, but he’s not a sleazeball. He’s not a sleazeball. He doesn’t play games. He doesn’t leaked to the press, to the best of my knowledge. And Jack Posobiec, I don’t know him if I mispronounced it, I apologize. Sure. He’s a great guy. I don’t know anything about. But that’s that. But we know. We know what’s going on. The White House knows. I know what’s going on. Little media types like Politico and maybe The Daily CALLER, which was founded by Chatsworth and. And who knows? Oh, the intelligence. Where the hell is that one? That was the Independent. You know, if I were a politico, I’d sue the Independent because I’d say about 80% of Isabel Keene’s piece was plagiarized from Politico. She goes further that I’m lobbying Trump with misinformation. What a bunch of jackasses. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
You know, folks, we’re very lucky to have this man. And in the Oval Office, President Trump, a judge, just so you know, just ruled a federal district judge. In this bogus lawsuit there was brought by the attorney general of California on behalf of the governor of California to true, pathetic buffoons. That, yes, he can bring in the National Guard. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, we have experience with this over the decades with other presidents. They don’t have to. Be called in by the. By the governor. We had a few Southern states that wouldn’t allow black kids to go to school with white kids and presidents of either side in the. The act of infantry or they have federalized the National Guard. That’s simple. And we went through some of the statutory language last night. So the president clearly has this authority. And it is amazing to me that the governor and the attorney general, California, two radical kooks. To fail, particularly the guy with two failed, hugely failed politicians. They say the president’s not upholding the law, which he is. Well, they won’t uphold the law. Well, they won’t uphold the law. Now, it’s obvious why the Democrats don’t want to put down riots. Buy illegal aliens because that’s their constituency. It’s obvious why they don’t want to put down riots on college campuses by Islamists because that’s their constituency. It’s obvious why they don’t want to put down anything that Marxist do who show up at all these events because that’s their constituency. So these are Democrats who are riding or would be or hope for Democrats. That’s why the borders have been opened. There’s no you know, even The New York Times was talking about illegal immigration. Several months ago, I read it to the purpose of being really to to change the nature of the voters. And so they want these people here. They want them to have children because they’re banking on birthright citizenship. And then you have chain migration. And the ball game is over. You all have a one party country like they do a one party state in California. And then the ball game is over. Now they can’t get that. Ladies and gentlemen, they can’t get that through honest means, lawful means. And if it means letting in a few and keeping a few murderers rapists. Perverts, child molesters and so forth. That’s the price they have to pay or we have to pay that they’re willing for us to pay. What the Democrats have been saying about Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE. What they’ve been saying about these people is disgusting. neo-Nazis, the idiot mayor of Boston. You know, the things that they’ve been saying about these honorable men and women is just awful. But they’ve said it about cops. They’ve said it about cops. They’ve said it about Supreme Court justices that they don’t like. And then when you push back, it’s, oh, you’re attacking the court system. Oh, you’re the ones who don’t like the cops. Oh, you must be a racist because you don’t like all these illegal alien criminals among us. It’s interesting that this happens almost exclusively in blue cities, in blue states, isn’t it, Mr. Producer? It’s almost exclusively. There have been some threats in Florida. And the governor said, okay, we’ll deal with that and we’ll deal with it in a very aggressive way. So nothing’s really happened in Florida. And their big cities are big enough cities. And in Ohio, in Nashville, excuse me, in Tennessee, in Texas, for sure, some of it in Dallas. But they put it down. They put it down immediately. That’s what Eisenhower did. That’s what Reagan did as governor. That’s what George H.W. Bush did in 1992. And that’s what Donald Trump is doing right now. He wanted the National Guard, as I discussed here the other day. To protect the Capitol building on that January 6th. And it was rejected. I pointed this out yesterday to I pointed this out yesterday. It was rejected. They didn’t like the look. It may not be a good look, you know. So the mayor said no. Now they lie about that. No, they didn’t. I mean, they were under attack and they were calling for the National Guard. We know who called for what. The Democrats. And so you have. Jayapal out there giving speeches defending the illegal aliens. You say it’s just like the the fifth columnists, isolationists. Who defend the indefensible when it comes to Iran. Our other enemy states. They take this in. So the rioters, the insurrectionists. They hear the Democrat is defending them. They hear the media is defending them. They hear them trashing Donald Trump. When Secretary Haig. Seth, his secretary known. Or time home. And on and on and on. They hear this. And so they they’re motivated to dig in. They’re motivated to fight. They’re motivated to to throw bricks and cinder blocks. Because they hear that there’s one political party and 90% of the media that stand behind them. That’s what they hear. And unfortunately, the right. And once again, we see what’s taking place a once again like in 2020. They tell us it’s mostly peaceful. They tell us that, you know, Joe Biden is is Einstein. Same media, same tricks, same lies. Hat Tip gradient cut one go. The L.A. County police say that they have it under control. Carrying a flag is is not illegal. As you know, what did happen in 1992 was so different from what we’re seeing now. I mean, that was that was a a real a real riot. Video after video has shown that these agents are the ones provoking protesters and also making up, you know, aggression by these protesters. And later, video shows people were not aggressive. We are having an administration that’s targeting peaceful protests, people that are there to protest. The president is sending the National Guard because he doesn’t like the scene. He doesn’t like the scenes of people peacefully protesting. The unrest is isolated, is home to millions of people. Most of them are having a normal day here on Sunday. You know, you’ve heard reports that there are riots on the streets of Los Angeles. That is not what’s happening across the city of Los Angeles. Governor Hasan’s right. There was anything like a riot happening on Friday, Saturday. We just witnessed a protester thanking a National Guardsmen for his service here in California. LAPD, by most estimates, had this under control last night. No, I don’t think the National Guard is is needed now. Things in L.A. are calm. There was a protest that got a little unruly late at night. There have been no violence with anybody that was protest hit anybody, shot anybody? Anybody. It’s nothing. What is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn? Most of those demonstrators were very peaceful. They were they were chanting. They were shouting. People were driving by honking their horns. Just the the systemic. The lying, lying, systemic, lying. And deceit is just incredible. Once again, we see what took place. We hear what took place. Through the media. The media deny the media. The media deny what they what they’re providing us with. Now these people are giving their opinions. But they’re liars. They’re absolute liars. President Trump deserves. Three cheers. He deserves a pat on the back for what he did here and what he’s going to continue to do. And he made it abundantly clear we’re going to put it down no matter what it takes, no matter where it occurs. That’s a leader. That’s a leader. Here’s Trump in the White House today. Cut to go. Mr. President, when is the last time you spoke with governors? A day ago. Called him up to tell him. Got to do a better job. He’s doing a bad job, causing a lot of death and a lot of a lot of potential death if we didn’t send out the National Guard. And last night we gave him a little additional help. You would have Los Angeles would be burning right now. Los Angeles would be not a lot different than what you saw take place in California, in Los Angeles just a little while ago. And, you know, you got to remember, we have the Olympics coming and we don’t want people looking at Los Angeles like it was like it would have been it would have been bad last night. They had total control if we didn’t have the military in there, the National Guard. And then we also sent in some Marines. We had some bad people. We have people, they look in your face and they spit right in your face. They’re animals. And these are paid insurrectionists. These are paid troublemakers to agitators, and they’re paid. Do you think somebody walks up to a curb and such hammering pieces out, has all the equipment necessary and starts handing it out to people to use as a weapon? These are paid insurrectionists or agitators or troublemakers, you can call it whatever you want. And we ended it. And we have in custody some very bad people. Some very bad people. And, you know, every now and then you get a kernel of truth from these liars like the the mayor of L.A. or the governor of California, she said. That there was some kind of network at work that. And I’m paraphrasing the flip a switch. They just show up and they appear and it’s obvious. And though they’re coming in from even out of the state. As fast as they can because this is what goes on in this country now. We have a lot of dark money that funds these operations. A lot of dark money that’s funding what type of takes place on our college campuses that we’ve talked about a great length here. A lot of it, the fact that the police chief said they were overwhelmed, their numbers were too big. And so you see everything would be fine if the feds would just stay out of it. If I wouldn’t go in there and pull out the illegal alien criminals who need to be deported. If Trump would just let local you know, I’m so sick of this. These cities and these states, especially the blue cities and blue states, they come to the federal government. They always want subsidies, much more money than anybody else when they have natural disasters. You and I are to pay for it. But when something like this happens, they say, leave us alone, we’ll handle it. Well, you know what? That’s pretty much what happened in 2020. And it was a disaster. And it caught on in every major city, in every blue state in the country. And who pays for most of this? All of us. The citizens of the United States, not just the citizens of a city or a state. This is our country. When we go to war. War When we go to war, we fight for the country. We don’t fight for a city or a state. When we secure our border, we’re trying to secure our country, not a particular city or state. It is the United States of America. There is federalism, of course. And if local cops. And state police can handle a situation. Then the federal government doesn’t get involved. In fact, 99.9, 99% of the time it doesn’t. But here it was obvious. Now, you either have a leader who sees it and pulls the trigger and takes care of it or you don’t. Joe Biden didn’t. He didn’t. Newsom did not. The mayor did not. Now, I love this D.A. who goes around and he says, you know, the vast majority of the people in L.A. were not there. The vast majority of people who were protesting were doing a peacefully. Then there was a small group within the protesters. Ladies and gentlemen. You never have a majority of the people riding in a city or a country, or you ceased to have a city or a country. It’s always a small band. Some of the small bands are bigger than others, but it’s always a, you know, a fraction of the community. But let me give you an example. When you have revolutions around the world, when you look at the communist revolution, when you look at Lenin’s revolution. When you look at these various revolutions that take place around the world, the vast majority of them are a minority part of the population. Because most other people are minding their own business. They just want to live. They just want to be left alone. They just want to be able to be with their families and so forth. So they’re not involved in revolutionary activity. On the other hand, they’re not involved in stopping revolutionary activity. So when I heard the DA say what he said, I thought, and you keep saying the same damn thing. What does that have to do with anything? That every citizen of L.A. hasn’t risen up. And committed acts of violence aren’t participating in riots in order to keep criminal illegal aliens in the country. That’s not the issue. The issues, the ones who do rise up. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
By the way, you want to see a really smart piece debunking this Politico article out of National Review. Noah Rothman’s piece is really, really good. I will post that. So preposterous. These people are. It’s just really a joke. Donald Trump at the White House today cut three ago over the Insurrection Act, deal with the situation in California. If there’s an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it will see. But I can tell you less. Last night was terrible. The night before that was terrible. We have, as you seen, it was on most of your networks, people with big, heavy hammers pounding the concrete and pounding curbs, pounding it, breaking up and handing these big chunks of concrete to people. And they were taking that concrete, going up in bridges and dropping it into the roof of a car. They were throwing it at police. They were throwing it at our soldiers that are there. And we got it stopped. And we have them in custody right now. Look, if we didn’t get involved right now, Los Angeles would be burning just like it was burning a number of months ago with all the houses that were lost. Los Angeles right now would be on fire, and we have it in great shape. And that playing around, it’s just amazing. And I have a an idealist here that has Nancy Pelosi. MAXINE Waters. Jimmy Panetta. Democrat. California. Adam Schiff, one of their senators. John Garamendi. One of their senators. I think he was the lieutenant governor at one point. Every single Democrat except Fetterman. Every single Democrat except Fetterman. No wonder they hate Fetterman. No wonder they’re trying to make him out as as mentally unfit. But they’re mentally unfit. They’re blaming Trump. They’re being blaming Stephen Miller. They’re talking about a dictator. It’s the same. You know, this is a replay in a replay from 2020. We’ve already seen this movie and we don’t like it. And now the president is putting it down. God bless him. We’ll be right back.
