On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the Justice Department is launching a federal grand jury investigation into former Obama administration officials accused of their role in 2016’s Russia-gate. This legal move could lead to criminal charges against key Cabinet members from the Obama era, including James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey. President Barack Obama needs to be questioned for his role. Barack Obama is the central figure in uncovering the full scope of the Russia Collusion scandal and the attempt to undermine the Trump campaign and presidency. The Supreme Court does not grant him blanket immunity. It offers a presumption of immunity, which could be challenged based on what the investigation reveals. Regardless, there is no immunity from criminal investigation or from being compelled to testify under oath—period. Furthermore, In On Power, negative power is coercive and aims to suppress individual identity, liberty, and sovereignty, often exercised by authoritarian regimes that treat people as servants to their cause. Its goal is to dominate society through centralized, unchecked control, stripping individuals of free will, self-worth, and the human spirit. To maintain this grip, such regimes restrict speech, manipulate language, punish independent thought, and promote conformity and fanaticism over curiosity and independence. Lastly, Israel is being attacked and accused of a deep Zionistic rhetoric that Israel has special interests regarding the spread of Zionism. Isreal is defending itself and protecting the freedoms of Jews, Christians and non-radical Muslims who oppose the Radical-Islamic regimes.

Rough Transcription of Hour 1
Segment 1
There is a ton of information I want to convey to you what’s happening with the Obama Hillary scandal. Big news there. Breaking news right now. Daily Mail, 86% of aid sent to Gaza is stolen before it can reach those most in need, the U.N. reveals. How about that? But before we do. We had a fantastic time Saturday, fantastic time at our Norval signing. Our wonderful friends. And let’s see here we had people who flew in listen to this from Orlando and North Carolina. Of course, we people who came in from Massachusetts and Connecticut and Rhode Island and New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, upstate New York. And of course, New York City and Long Island, north Central and south Jersey, all over the place. Absolutely fantastic. I want to thank you all. I was there about, I think, 4 hours, give or take. I don’t remember. And we had a wonderful time. I put up a video that. Mr. Call screener Christian put together, but it was a very substantial number of people. But as a beautifully run program, they’re beautifully run because they handed out tickets so people didn’t have to just wait in line and so forth. And they just did a fantastic job. And if I write again, we will be back. We will be back. Now, there was one more thing I wanted to pass on to you. There was a lovely lady. Who said she had stage four cancer. And she was told she had six months to live. And she went to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, one of the best the main campus. And she said, thanks to President Trump. In his first term. Write to try law. She was put on experimental drugs. They saved her life. And there she is six or seven years later, I don’t exactly recall, but six or seven years later. I happen to know I don’t know that I’m free to reveal it. But one of his closest aides, the president’s, had a similar situation. And she survived. And she’s doing beautifully. And this right to try law. All these past decades, people said if you’re facing a terminal illness. Why shouldn’t the medical profession pharmaceutical companies, be able to give you experimental? Medicines. If that’s what you want to do. Because there’s nothing there’s no reason not to. There’s no reason not to. And. It was it was so touching. And I will add that there was also a young lady who we’ve seen before in a wheelchair, and she almost passed away the last time. We were in New Jersey. I tell you, we get to know a lot of these folks. We adore these folks. And it really is an event. It really is a thing. And I want to thank the the owner Kenny it books and greetings. Northville, New Jersey did a fantastic job. A fantastic job. We put a video up there and we had great conversations. I tell you, I stay there until so we’re done. And we’re going to have this Saturday at 10 a.m. Eastern Time at Barnes and Noble in Reston, Virginia. Barnes and Noble Reston, Virginia. We’re going to do the same thing. We’re going to have a wonderful time there, too. So as many of you who can come out, we’d love to see. We’d love to have you. Just a lot of fun. A lot of fun. I really enjoy it. I really do. Let’s get down to down and dirty here. By the way, I want to thank you folks for watching life, liberty and livin over the weekend. I think you you’ll agree those were a hell of a show, those two shows, weren’t they? Saturday and Sunday. Very, very important. Very important. This is this is how I view this program. This is how I view my FOX program. This is how I view my program. Now, The New York Post and this broke. Really. I’m looking about an hour and a half ago on Fox. The Justice Department is opening a federal grand jury investigation. A former Obama administration officials who allegedly conspired to whip up a scandal about President Trump’s purported links to Russia during the 2016 election campaign, The Post has learned. Now, you may recall we initially broke this story on March 3rd, 2017, right behind this microphone and right on this program. I played that on Fox last week. I played the subsequent days when we were on Fox and Friends Sunday, and Pete Hegseth was interviewing me. And then the next day our buddy Sean HANNITY interviewed me. But we broke this story because I pulled together all these news articles and it was clear what was going on, obviously, without the specifics. But I. I got close enough. The major legal development opens the door to criminal charges against prominent cabinet members who served then President Obama, including former director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former FBI Director James Comey. It’s not immediately clear whether the grand jury would be based heavily in Democratic Washington, D.C., or elsewhere. I would encourage them not to have it in Washington, D.C., strongly discourage them from doing that. Trump and current DNI Tulsi Gabbard have called for a federal probe into the early days of the Russian collusion probe dubbed CROSSFIRE Hurricane. Though the commander in chief himself has acknowledged his predecessor likely is immune from prosecution due to a 2024 Supreme Court ruling on the criminality of official presidential acts. I tell you, I am I don’t understand this, not because I don’t understand the law, I don’t understand this. And I hear these legal analysts say the same thing. And I hope the Department of Justice is a little bit more mindful of what the court actually ruled. They talked about the presumption of immunity. But there’s not necessarily immunity depending on how this breaks out. And so as they conduct their investigation, I hope they don’t leave behind Barack Obama. Barack Obama. Even if that is their conclusion and they all have a very open mind about it, still may have information that is critical to the criminal investigation, to the grand jury. So I heard one commentator say today, one of the reporters say, so they likely won’t be interviewing them. What does that have to do with anything? Even if the Supreme Court does immunize him. And again, I think I say that’s an open book. They still need to talk to him. They still need to talk to him to find out what other people and he discussed. So he better get in front of that grand jury and he better be questioning if he doesn’t want to get in front of the grand jury. He better be open to questions. I mean, Bill Clinton was open to questions while he was president of the United States by a grand jury. President Trump had to answer questions in writing, he and his lawyer. There is no way Obama should escape. Escape being investigated. None. None. Now, the president, they write, has accused former officials of a treasonous and seditious conspiracy to undermine his first term agenda, actually interfere in his election to. Which ultimately led to more than two years of leak investigations before Special Counsel Robert Mueller turned up no evidence of collusion. Fox News first reported the grand jury investigation, which faces significant hurdles due to statutes of elimination of limitation for certain offenses. Once again, this is wrong. Even if you believe there are statute of limitations for certain offenses, you conduct your investigation. You do it fully. It’s a criminal investigation. So it’s not like here’s one law and here’s another law and the statute of limitations of run. You have no idea what’s run and what hasn’t. And you’re not required to pinpoint any law that is any part of the criminal code in advance of your investigation. Now, I tried to explain this on Sunday, but apparently some people are slow listeners. Let’s see here. I like 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton off the hook, Trump told Newsmax host Affinity on Friday, referring to the former secretary of state’s possession of classified information on a private home email server. I let her off the hook for what? And then I come in and they they did the same to me. The difference is they actually mean it. They hurt a lot of people and it was all a hoax and it absolutely was a hoax. And now they have a black and white. No, I think they should pay a price, and so do I. An email released by Gabbard showed that Obama ordered an intelligence assessment that found Russia intervened to help Trump defeat Clinton. Even Gabbard said U.S. intercepts actually showed the Russians expected Clinton to win and held back damaging material on her for later release. And not only that. And not only that. The assessment said the Russian, the Russians. Of course we’re trying to influence the election, but it was having no effect at all. And that they did not. Try to help Trump. Brennan. Leonard Brennan is believed to be under investigation for allegedly lying to Congress in May 2023 about ex-British spy Christopher Steele. Dossier of salacious claims against Trump. All lies, all of it. Brennan told Congress in May 2023 that the CIA was very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in a major intelligence action report. The records show he actually wrote at the time, I believe that the information warrants inclusion in the Obama ordered assessment. I think they got that guy dead to rights. That’s why they’re going to make sure it’s not in Washington, D.C.. Comey was interviewed in May by Secret Service after posting an image interpreted as threatening Trump, which of course, it was, and was accused by Republicans of lying to Congress in 2017. Giving false testimony. Congress carries a penalty up to five years. But as a five year statute of limitations. Okay, so what? I can come up. You know what, Mr. Producer? I touched on this when I was on with Maria BARTIROMO, who was fantastic, too. And I said, you know, folks, you could look at. Federal campaign financing law. They twisted that damn thing inside out like a pretzel and used it against Trump. And his is mortgages had absolutely nothing to do with federal campaign finance laws. But they said the fact that he. Then he made legal payments and entered into nondisclosure agreements, demonstrated that he wanted to withhold negative information and therefore it was an illegal expand. You know, they had all this weird stuff in mind. Well, let me tell you something. Everybody and anybody who spent any money or provided advice or know how an in-kind contribution to help the Hillary Clinton campaign using the lies about Russia and doing so knowingly. Like lawyers. Like advisers, like Hillary Clinton. Then they she would have been violating the other’s federal campaign finance laws. Right. Because they’re promoting a lie to influence the election. And they’re using money to do it. That was never reported as a campaign donation. And others who. Didn’t use money, but we’re providing support. It’s an in-kind contribution. So there’s a lot of ways this can go. That’s why I say statute of limitations. And so you do the investigation. You find out who knows what you put them under oath, for sure. You collect all the documentation, and by documentation I mean a wide net, including electronic communication, telephonic communication, any kind of communication, you determine whether anything was destroyed, classified information, a violation of the Espionage Act, other information, a violation of the Presidential Records Act, which. You know, Jack Smith tried to criminalize there’s a lot here to investigate. We’ll be right back.
Segment 2
If you hear a reporter, an analyst or somebody say that Obama’s in the clear and he shouldn’t be investigated, you need to dismiss them as morons, even if they’re among your favorite commentators or reporters, you need to dismiss them as morons. Obama was a co-conspirator, if not the lead conspirator. Any and all information that he has is relevant, including to other people. For a prosecutor to put together the whole scenario and understand exactly what took place. There will be others who will refer to him, refer to what he said or didn’t say. There will be contradictions. And so you don’t start out with the top guy, but you do get to the top guy working your way up from the bottom. This is the way it’s done. And then when you interview the top guy, you’ll be able to ask questions. And you know what you’re fishing for. You might get one bite of the apple. But the Supreme Court did not say for certain. Is that a former president or that any president is immune from an investigation. So immunity has nothing to do. With the triggering of an investigation or the pursuit. Of the facts in an investigation. Any president. Is not immune from participating in that investigation, whether that president likes it or not. This is a fact. The Supreme Court has already ruled on it, the Nixon case and other cases. So there is no way, no way that Obama should get a pass with respect to this investigation and yet to be under oath. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
I want I want to make this clear and I’m posting this now. Attention media and legal analysts. Obama is the key to uncovering the full extent of the Russia collusion scandal and the effort to sabotage the Trump campaign and presidency. I do not believe the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling provides them a blanket immunity or provides them with the presumption of immunity which may be overcome depending on what the investigation uncovers. That said, there is no immunity from criminal investigation and Obama being required to provide testimony under oath. Period. And so just to be clear, I just want to make that clear. I’m going to post that now. So if you hear anybody say otherwise, turn them off because they’re absolute buffoons. Absolute buffoons. There is no immunity in any respect from requiring a sitting president. Let alone a former president. From testifying, providing testimony to a grand jury, the circumstances of the provision of testimony, the means by which it’s known that can be negotiated. Look, Biden gave testimony to a special counsel. Nixon had to give testimony. Reagan had to give testimony. Trump had to give testimony. CLINTON We remember him with the cigar here to give testimony. So Obama has to give testimony. Now, I don’t know why this is so complicated. It’s not. It’s not. And he has presumptive immunity because I didn’t know it was part of a president’s official duties to Dr. Intelligence reports and then to push it out into the media to undermine an incoming. President. I didn’t know that was part of his official duties. Did. Did anybody out there know that? So that is a dispute where papers will be filed. Assuming the Department of Justice can make the case. It can make the case, assuming it does make the case. But you pursue the investigation bottom up. And you determine where it goes. You don’t worry about statute of limitations right now, for God’s sakes. You just pursue the investigation. And as I’ve said many times, somebody could have lied under oath, destroyed document. Who knows what they’ve done or what they’re doing as I speak. Now, the media, of course, doesn’t want this investigation to go forward because the media, if the investigation is a solid one and a good one, is going to look horrendous. And in fact, certain reporters may be forced to testify and they may not want to, so they may do some prison time. That’s how serious this is. That’s how big this is. That could be some of the reporters who got Pulitzer Prizes. I’m sure they can bring those with them behind bars. Keep shining it. What else are they going to do? But it may ensnare. Reporters. Nobody investigated more reporters in a more aggressive way than Obama, by the way. Nobody. Now I have a breaking story for you. And this is breaking. This is breaking. Which is why you haven’t heard it on. Cable TV on me, LSD and the Constipated News Network. I sent it to our friends at Fox. I said, there’s a very important story. And of course, you haven’t seen it in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the entrails like the Drudge Report and mediocre right. But it is in the Daily Mail. By Ryan Hooper. Ready for this America. The majority of the aid sent to Gaza is being intercepted by armed militants and desperate civilians before it reaches its intended target. Official figures show. Where are these official figures coming from? The United Nations. Data from the U.N. shows that just 14% of the pallets collected at the Gaza border arrived safely at their destination. The rest, 86% were intercepted, quote, either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit in Gaza. Quote, unquote, the United Nations, now, even if they intercept it, ladies and gentlemen, peacefully, it’s not being distributed throughout Gaza when they intercept it. That means some Palestinians are getting it, but some are not. The UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees. UNWRA has previously accused armed militias of looting the aid convoys at gunpoint. Figures show that nearly 30,000 aid pallets collected for delivery in Gaza between mid-May and last weekend. Almost 26,000 were taken en route. Got that? 26,000 out of 30,000 pallets. It means only 4182 pallets containing vital supplies intended for Gaza’s desperately hungry inhabitants made it safely to their destination. The U.N. is unable to break down how much of the missing aid equated to nearly 24 tons in the last two and a half months has been snatched by Hamas militants or taken by some of the more than 2 million people living in Gaza’s war zone. But the figures underline the gravity of the humanitarian crisis with both Hamas and Israel blaming each other. Well, how can you blame Israel? Better, making sure the food get in to Gaza while they’re fighting Hamas. Charities operating in the disaster zone last night laid bare the extent to which Gaza’s civilian population was struggling. I’m going on. A spokesman for Doctors Without Borders said its health facilities in the region had received hundreds of people wounded or killed by simply trying to find something to eat. Really? And who’s shooting them? How come they don’t say? It’s not the Israelis. And it goes on. At least 175 people, including 93 children, have died from starvation in Gaza since the war began on October. Now, hold on a second. You hear this, Mr. Producer? These are figures from the Hamas run health ministry. 175 people out of over 2 million, including 93 children, were died from starvation. Now, that is a horrendous way to die. But does that sound like widespread starvation to you, Ron? 175 people, including 93 children, since really, really over nearly a two year period. And of course, we know Hamas is doing it. Data shows the vast majority, 98.6% of the pallets contained food. The remainder of the aid comprises fuel supplies and other forms of nutrition. Most of the aid 90%, comes from the UN’s World Food Programme and the World Central Kitchen and UNICEF. 2.1% from UNICEF. Let’s see. It goes on with other information when I get out of here. What I get out of here is this The headline of this story is 86% of aid sent to Gaza is stolen. Hamas. And others. So obviously a lot of food isn’t getting to where it needs to go. You know, it’s not being stolen strategically. So every every part of the Gaza Strip is getting food. It’s being stolen. Now, in addition to Hamas, they have gangs, militia gangs like mob bosses. So I assume some of them are in on the act, too. But they’re not being intentionally starved by the Israelis when you’re talking about massive amounts of food. And water that are flowing in there. I have post an enormous number of links. Remember, independent journalists who are actually going into Gaza are not reporting from Tel Aviv or London or Detroit. They’re actually going there. They’re seeing the palettes. They’re seeing that the U.N. is not moving them. They’re seeing the trucks and they see the trucks that are being raided. This is why President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have said we need to control. How the food and the supplies are distributed because they’re not getting where they need to go. They’re not getting where they need to go. And so the Western rules. Well, that’s Netanyahu’s thought. You literally have more than half of the Democrats in the Senate voted to cut off all arms to Israel. All arms to Israel. Which means the people there would eventually be wiped out. Chinese aren’t going to stop giving arms to the Arabs. The Russians aren’t going to stop giving arms to the Arabs. The North Koreans are going to stop giving arms to the Arabs. The French aren’t going to stop giving arms to the Arab. Think about this. Think about it. It’s incredible. Yeah. Now I want to circle back briefly. To this Obama situation, because I’m going to keep circling back to it. We’re going to keep hammering it because Obama needs to be interview on. This is how it works. I keep pounding away. Then they’ll finally interview him and then they say, Oh, we were always going to interview him. I pounded away on this scandal. Everybody says they were in early on. That’s fine. Many of them were many. Many of them weren’t. But we broke the story right here behind the mic. They’ll never, ever admit it, but we admit it because I’ve played it over and over again. Right here. We broke the story. I don’t have subpoena power and I have any authority. I can’t investigate, I guess. Read what they were leaking and put it together and that’s that. But now that the Trump administration has control of the documents, the files and all the rest of it, it’s fantastic. And what I’ve been encouraging is. Then do the damn investigation. And I did it as as recently as Sunday and today they announced a few hours ago. That’s where they are. They’re going to impanel a grand jury. They didn’t mention where and they didn’t mention the U.S. attorney’s going to handle it. I also said, please don’t appoint a special counsel. They will take years and years to get anything done. That’s how they work. They build a bureaucracy and so forth. But you heard people in Congress saying appoint a special counsel. You heard legal analyst appoint a special counsel. I said, now give it to a U.S. attorney, which is apparently exactly what they’re doing and what needs to be done. Now, how do I know these things? Because I worked on these things. My boss wrongly was being investigated by two independent counsel at the same time who came up with not a damn thing. They’re going after Reagan and his cabinet. My attorney general. Okay. Similar circumstances in that he had done nothing either. But this is what they do. Now Eric Holder on ABC’s This Week yesterday. I guess they dug him up from the dead. So now holding, holding people accountable for the Russia hoax is now weaponizing and a distraction cut one must reduce or go. President Trump accuse the president you served President Obama of treason. Suggest he was guilty of criminal acts. It appears that there are investigations now of several former employees who worked under the Obama administration. What’s your response to that? What kind of questions of weaponization? Hold on now. What kind of question is that? Shouldn’t the question be? What did you know and when did you know it? With a files kept. Are you going to you’re going to work with the investigators and so forth. What is it what do you think of that? What do you think of that Democrat, the Democrat? Go ahead. The Justice Department and the law enforcement capacities of the federal government. It’s also an attempt to deflect attention from that which really afflicts the president and his administration right now, which is the release of the F-16 fighter. Right. Stop. So this is this guy is just a he’s a parrot. He repeats the party line. I have a different take as I announced on Fox and I’ve announced here in before that, no, the Epstein matter is a distraction from the Obama Hillary matter because what is the end game and the in the Epstein matter when it comes to the president and so forth. There’s nothing. There is no end game. That’s why the dumbest are the dumb who have microphones and videos in their face. Keep pounding away at it. They ought to be pounding away at the Obama Hillary. Attack on our democratic system, because that’s the big deal. One inch away from losing our republic with these people. And it continued into last year with all the prosecutions and investigations and so forth, based on absolutely nothing against Donald Trump. Dusting off statutes that are irrelevant, even the court held some of the mere relevant. That is the Supreme Court. So here he is. It’s a deflection to authoritarianism. To get to the bottom of it. Well, here’s the news, Erica. We don’t give a damn what you have to say. Not a damn. Or your media or your party. We could care less. You people are crooked. You people undermine an election. You fail. But you tried. You people tried to destroy a person who wanted to re run for president. You failed, but you tried. You took our Justice Department, our FBI. You took our intelligence agencies. You took our White House. And you. Poison them. That’s what you did. Your thugs. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Now we have this gerrymandering issue that we’ve talked about today. I feel like I need to make a few additional points here. Number one, the Democrats benefited from the Census Bureau’s mistakes, quote unquote, of a few years ago. They were to assign more seats to Florida, Tennessee and Texas, among others. But they failed to do so. In fact, California held on to more seats and it was supposed to New York held on to more seats, and it was supposed to, as did other blue states. You see blue states are depopulating. People are moving to red states. The census didn’t accurately reflect the extent of it. The census has confessed. Census said they made errors. But the Democrats benefit from it. That’s number one. Number two, the dark blue states, for the most part, have already wrung out, wrung out most of the Republican seats or seats that could have gone either way. Marilyn now has one Republican seat. That’s it. One. There are some states with no Republican seats. In California, as we pointed out here. 40% of the population voted for Republicans for the House of Representatives. The number of seats in California that go to the Republicans, 17%. So they’ve already been gerrymandered most of these states. So when they threaten to say, we’re going to do the same thing, we’re going to do the same thing, well, maybe some will and maybe some can’t. But what’s happened in Texas is they didn’t do what California did. They didn’t do what New York did. They didn’t do what some of these other states did. And so they’re doing it now. How much time do we have left, Mr. Producer? Okay. There’s a piece I want to read to you when we return, and it explains exactly what’s going on with the Democrats, with their media, with these Western so-called leaders, what they were doing to, quote unquote, a road map for dismantling the Zionist project. Now, I understand Zionism simply means the Jewish people having their own country in their ancient homeland. That’s all it means. That’s all it means
