On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party continues to strive to link President Trump to the Epstein case. Unfortunately, no details are being revealed because of the case’s sensitive nature, not due to any attempt to hide information by Trump. It is impossible to force the grand jury to reveal this information, as that would infringe upon the privacy rights that are fundamental to every case during its jurisdiction. These so-called influencers are promoting the Epstein issue as a significant concern, yet a CNN poll conducted by Harry Enten shows that interest in the Epstein matter has waned considerably. in addition, we need to exercise extreme caution regarding whom we place our trust in moving forward, as there are numerous backstabbers, particularly when it involves attacking Trump. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene serves as a prime example – many admired her, but the tables have turned as she is a deceitful and sleazy politician. Do we truly want individuals like her to represent us? Absolutely not. This is precisely why she is experiencing a significant decline in support due to her abhorrent actions, and yet she has the nerve to assert that she leads MAGA, which is utterly embarrassing. Also, Washington D.C is getting more dangerous. Just like in NYC and in California, crime is just as bad in Washington D.C.. Trump has a plan to help combat the crime that has been present and affecting the community. Moreover, individuals such as Sen Bernie Sanders pose a significant threat, and it is disheartening to see someone like Dana Bash fawning over Sanders, which is likely contributing to her declining ratings. Sanders endorses the actions of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, supports Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for Mayor of NYC, and advocates for the erosion of our freedoms through Socialism and Marxism. Lastly, Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t going to stop destroying Hamas, until Gaza is free of them. Netanyahu is determined to release all the hostages, and will not stop until they are all home and safe.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Man, oh, man. Auschwitz has a lot going on. And you know, every day with this president, there’s a lot going on and most of its great great the things he’s doing just fantastic. Of course, the establishment hates it, but we have a lot of contempt for them. But before I go there, happy Monday to you. Thank you for watching Life, liberty and living. Thank you for. The folks that came out and in Reston at Barnes and Noble, we had a fantastic time and Barnes Noble did a great job, great job, brand new store, and we enjoyed it immensely. And thanks to those of you who are still purchasing the book in the retail stores and online on Amazon.com, thank you very, very much. I think I had eight interviews today and more to come on various radio spots. Also, I was on Stephen Smith’s podcast, and as soon as we have it, I will send you the link. He’s a dear friend and it was an excellent discussion. Very smart guy. Excellent discussion. Now, folks, maybe I was the only one to say this. I said it here behind this microphone. I said it on my Fox show. I said it on Blaze that this Epstein matter, where are we going with this? What is the end of this? No, Trump didn’t do anything untoward. If they had some big names, they would have they would have revealed them over there at the Department of Justice. And of course, if the Democrats and any big Republicans, including the president, they would have revealed it. So where exactly are we going with this now? Federal judges ruled that he’s not releasing the grand jury information. I’m not surprised by that, because it’s almost considered sacrosanct. It is a serious crime. If somebody leaks information out of a grand jury. Why? Because truly, the grand jury is the opposite of due process. You don’t have a right to counsel. It’s the prosecutor’s baby. And they can push hard on a number of fronts and so people can have their reputations destroyed. It’s not a trial. You know, there’s no judge. The prosecutor owns it. The whole purpose of a grand jury historically was supposed to be to protect the citizen. I don’t think it protects anybody. In fact, I’m not a big fan. But all that said. Okay. All that said, I said the Epstein case. Well, there’s not a lot to this case, obviously, to the people who were who were harmed as a lot to the case. And but that’s not what we’re talking about. The political dimensions of the case where all these people who claim to be influences. On and on talking about how this was the big matter. And then if it wasn’t resolved that Donald Trump was, his ratings would plummet. We had all these people saying that the way Donald Trump is handling this, he’s going to upset MAGA. In fact, the MAGA base is furious with him. All these people saying the matter would cause us to lose the midterm elections. It. CARLSON talking about this. Bannon Talking about this Marjorie trader GREENE talking about this, Joe Rogan talking about this. All the rest of them. All the rest of them. And they were dead wrong. All of them. All of them. Others too. I just can’t remember them off the top of my head. I want you to listen to this from CNN. Unfortunately, we have to go to CNN to hear it. But nonetheless, this guy, their data guys, actually is actually quite good. I want you to listen carefully to this. And this is example number 4 billion of how these phony influencers aren’t influencers at all, how they push their own agendas, how they try to hype up their audiences and fearmonger and all the rest. I just want you to take a listen to this. From today. Cut 21, go. And there are new numbers this morning showing something of a shift in how Americans are feeling about this. Harry Fenton here to help. What are you seeing in these numbers? Yeah, I would say that this is from at least the political point of view, quickly turning into a dud of a story. What am I talking about here? Is wild. Which is wild? Which is has been for three weeks. Exactly. Take a look here. Google searches for the down 89% versus just three weeks ago, falling through the floor. It is no longer the top term searched alongside Donald Trump’s name that’s been trading off between tariffs and Vladimir Putin with obviously the meeting coming up later this week. But at this particular point, the American people’s interest in this story, it’s quickly becoming something of a nothing burger. So out of sight, out of mind maybe is applying here a little bit. Has it impacted have you seen a positive impact This is impacting Trump’s popularity, favorability, anything? No, not really. I mean, take a look here. Let’s take a look at the overall numbers. Trump’s approval rating in July of 2025 was 45%. It’s still well within that margin of error here at 44%. And you compare that to where he was in his first term, at this point, he was at 37%. So he’s seven points higher, very much in a different political universe now, significantly higher in terms of his overall approval rating than he was at this point in his first term. And more than that among Republicans. His approval rating is near a record high, hovering right at about that 90% mark. So, no, he hasn’t lost any of that base. And when it comes to that center of the electorate, he’s basically holding on there. And his overall approval rating, 44%, is pretty gosh darn good for him considering where he was at this point in term number one. What do you think is behind it? Why there hasn’t been more movement? Yeah, why hasn’t but hasn’t there been more movement? I think this is pretty simple. Take a look here. Nation’s top issue is the case. This is the number of respondents. This isn’t the percentage of responses is the number of respondents. And our last CNN poll, look at this, zero respondents said that the Epstein case was the top issue. How about among independents? Zero independents and that and among Republicans and therefore, overall, just a single one. So, yes, there used to be a lot of interest in this story. But the bottom line is that even amongst those who had a high interest in this story, it wasn’t something that they thought was all that important. And as I said at the beginning, the interest in this story has fallen off the table, which also when you look at this and you compare it to just the attention that Capitol Hill was giving and Donald Trump supporters were giving it, congressional committees were giving it, it is incongruous. I would just say this Donald Trump has some of the best political instincts of any politician I’ve seen. And on this particular issue, you see it all well and clear because he has been saying, you know, this is not an issue. And it turns out to be a lot of the American public actually seem to agree with him. And we’re back live. And if you’ve been listening to this program, most of you have most of you long time listeners, but we know for your new listener, over the last couple of months, I took that position right out of the box. Not because I’m Nostradamus. But because you and I have a lot in common. I’m not trying to drive the news. I’m not trying to drive issues. We’ll talk about them at length. If there’s a history related to them, we’ll get into history. If there’s a philosophy related to them, we’ll get into philosophy. But I tell you, every time these phony influencers, many of whom are out of the closet, America haters, Jew haters, now Christian haters don’t follow them. Don’t follow them. I don’t care how big they say their podcasts are. I don’t care if they used to be one of us. These are bad people, stupid people who are pushing agendas that are not your agenda. They’re not your agenda, and they stab President Trump in the back. And they’re still doing it. They’re still doing it. And their hope beyond hope is that the Epstein matter will turn into something. It was when It’s as if it was when our bombers, our stealth bombers hit Iran. Hit those nuclear sites and obliterated them. It could almost feel like these individuals, many of whom I named, wanted us to fail because they wanted to be demonstrated to be right. It’s as if they wanted us to fail. It’s as if they want Hamas to win. It’s as if they in the radical left media. And the Islamists and the Muslims are now on the same page. These are bad people. These are stupid people. They’re not your kind of people. They’re simply not. And this is why I wanted to play this. The Epstein matter doesn’t matter to anybody. If something is breaking that’s going to come out of it, I guess we’ll hear about it at some point. But what is the end game here? I said several weeks ago, the Obama Hillary effort. To destroy this republic and undermine the last election that is in 2016, I should say. That’s the big issue. And the Epstein matter, at least temporarily, was taking attention away from that. Now, that issue is not going to go away, nor should it, because it involved the republic. Because it involved the republic. So none of this has had any impact on Donald Trump and any negative impact. So all those podcasters and some of them who went to the White House, Mr. President, got to get in front of this is going to kill you with the base. They do the same thing when it comes to Israel. You know, Mr. President, it’s going to kill you. It’s going to kill you. With MAGA, 90% of Republicans support Donald Trump. 90%. 94% supported us hitting those nuclear bases. Does it get any bigger than that? The overwhelming majority of conservatives and Republicans support the state of Israel and despise Hamas. Despite all the static, despite all the reporting and despite their hard antisemitism and Jew hatred, which goes along with their America hatred, which now goes along with their Christian hatred. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Make America Great Again is is the unification of all aspects of the Republican Party and beyond. People who’ve never been Republican and never voted Republican. There’s really one man that’s been able to pull this off, and that’s Donald Trump. In the 1980s, there was really one man who was able to pull it off, and it was Ronald Reagan. I don’t know what’s going to happen after Donald Trump. I’m not prepared to say I’m for this one, that one or the other one. We shall see. But, you know, folks, we have certain values and principles, you and I, and we have every right to demand that public officials conduct themselves or people who go public in a way that we can tolerate and accept, share with our children and embrace. Marjorie Taylor GREENE is not one of them. Her district in Georgia is the most Republican district in the state. They can do a lot better than her and I mean a lot better than her. The things that she says about people, the things that that she does. The stabbing of President Trump in the back. Her obsessive hatred for the state. Of Israel and Jews generally. And then I’m reminded. These things are sent to me even in her personal life. And I never talk about somebody’s children. Never. We’re family members. But her own conduct. Her own conduct. And she’s not alone. And it seems to me you and I have an obligation. To the future of the country, to our cause, to call these people out and say, we want nothing to do with you. Nothing. Whether you have the left or the right. From the Daily Mail a few years back. Exclusive embattled Q and Anon. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor GREENE openly cheated on her husband of 25 years with a polyamorous tantric sex guru and then moved on to another affair with a manager ever. Jim And I’m not going to get into the lawyer details here. It’s pretty outrageous. In fact, to me, it’s disgusting. But this is only part of it. And then, of course, Matt Gates comes to her defense. Matt Gaetz has his own TV show on some network. Have you read the ethics report on that guy? The prostitutes and all the rest. Now he’s out of Congress so he can do whatever he wants. Great. He’s gone. This woman is in such a Republican district. Then, unless the people in the district are really aware of her. My guess is she’ll continue to get elected. And the funny thing is, when you criticize her and are outraged, it’s disgusting. Bigotry and statements. She hides behind her constituents. Oh, you’re attacking my constituents or her faith or you’re attacking Christians. Nobody’s attacking her constituents, her Christians. They’re focused on her. And what a disgrace she is. They’re focused on Matt Gaetz. What a disgusting disgrace he is. And then we move on to Steve Bannon. Bannon is a convicted felon. He’s confessed. He pled guilty. Ripping off a charity. That’s what he did, and that’s just the beginning of it. And we’re supposed to say, Oh, he’s an influence in influencing who? Now they interview each other. But these aren’t MAGA. These aren’t constitutional conservatives. And then, of course, there’s Carlson. Day in and day out Holocaust deniers. Israel haters, Jew haters, day in and day out. I don’t know what’s happened to this guy. I don’t know if he had a hand address or what the hell’s going on. But we have an obligation. We, the people, we can’t rely on the Republican Party to do anything about this. These guys are scared. They’re cowards. They don’t call them out. I have to call them out. The Republican Party has an obligation, it seems to me, to denounce these people, to distance themselves from these people, just as the Democrat Party has a responsibility to do the same on its side. This country is for we the people. We’re the sovereign. Not sleazeball politicians. Who put out slogans. Who want you to believe that they are something that they’re not and they’ve never been. Or these frauds. Takes nothing to podcast. DAB a microphone. American hating, Jew hating, Christian hating, now Christian hating individuals. They don’t represent us. They’re not part of MAGA. They’re not part of constitutional conservatism. They’re in their own world. Ladies and gentlemen, that’s their problem. That’s their lane. And just because they don’t wear robes and so forth doesn’t mean they aren’t what they are. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
You know, there was a time, ladies and gentlemen, things like this mattered again. No one should ever go after somebody’s children or parents. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the member. This House Ethics Committee report. No wonder they wanted to keep it secret. Gates went nuts when they decided to make it public. And the media reports from the report, and I’ve linked to it myself. The committee determined there’s substantial evidence that Representative Gates violated House rules and other stands of a code of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress. Now, of course, he’s free to respond. All this has been out in the public for several years now. So he comes to the defense of Marjorie Taylor GREENE. Now, she hasn’t done anything like this, of course. But she’s a sleazeball nonetheless. It’s really, as I say it, we really have to you and I have to clean up this mess. We do. This guy Gates has a TV show. And Marjorie Taylor GREENE has lost a substantial percentage of the vote in the district she’s in from the person who used to hold the seat. I mean, she still gets like 60, 65, 63, 64%. But it is a heavily Republican district. But the person who she replaced because he retired used to get in the seventies. But so what? Then she goes around acting like she represents MAGA. That’s an embarrassment. She has nothing to do with the 77 million individuals who voted for President Trump. Nothing. Nothing. Zero. Then you got another guy. Who knows his way around prison pretty well. This guy Bannon. The guy pled guilty. And that was only one of his offenses. Apparently there was some kind of charity set up to build a southern wall and he and some other guy. Well, he pled guilty to fraud. Any use as a podcast out there. You know what they call it? The fraud room, something like that. I’m not trying to pick on these people. I’m trying to make a point. I know everything I say here. The lib media picks up and runs with and puts a stupid headline on because that’s how Dan Abrams conducts himself. Dan Abrams is a thoroughly stupid man. Who plays all sides of the aisle. Pretends he’s a news guy. Then he opens a restaurant. His sister is a federal judge appointed by Obama. He pretends to be a serious lawyer news guy, and yet he is the Jerry Springer of Court TV and all the rest of that crap. He’s a real. Is a real number, let me put it that way. Then you ought to see the people who write for them over mediocre write. Most of whom not all, are hard core leftists. However, conservatives hear their Isaac Shaw’s A Guy write for the New York Post, but he really is into the the mediate sort of gossipy crap. But none of that matters. We conservatives, we patriots. We can’t follow false idols like this just because they have the biggest mouths. Just because they interview each other. We can’t fall for their anti-Americanism, their isolationism, their Jew hatred, their Israel hatred, and now trashing Christians and Churchill and. Giving platforms to the crazy bastards that are out there. Because that’s what’s happening. You can see they have no real influence. You can say they had no real influence on the Epstein thing. To a man and a woman and. And in between. This is going to destroy the Trump presidency. MAG is not going to tolerate this, especially young MAGA. However, younger than 30, it’s going to ruin it. It’s going to tear it apart and nobody gives a crap. The guy killed himself. And I hate to say this, but good. Based on what he did. Yeah. Maybe there’s something out there we’ll learn. It’ll be interesting and so forth, but. We have a country to save. We have a. A country to promote and advance. We can’t allow these these grifters to drive an agenda. And you’re not. Apparently you just don’t give a crap about it anymore. But they still do. A couple of them over at the White House telling the staff over there, you know. There’s a big deal. Oh, yes. Mr. President, it’s a big deal. You better get in front of this. Hmm. Meanwhile, what the president did today was, in my view, fantastic. He’s a remarkable man. This president stopped lifting to the listening to the phony influencers. They are a grotesque group of know nothings. He’s a remarkable man. He sees what’s going on in Washington, D.C. and of course, the Washington, D.C. establishment keeps lying about it and who we’re talking about here at our murder rates down, we only had 187 last year. Yeah, okay. Well, if that was your mother or father, your son or daughter, your wife or husband, it wouldn’t be only 187. And then when you break it down and you also look at the comparison, not the DC to DC, but DC to the other cities, it’s shocking. This is our nation’s capital. Plus under our Constitution, it’s a federal city. Maryland and Virginia gave up land was we’re required to create this city. Eventually Virginia got its back because they didn’t need it. And this is a federal city where the federal government sets the thinking correctly back then was we can’t have a local government or a state like government oversee where the White House is or will be, where the Congress serves or the Supreme Court serves. It has to be a federal enclave. So they called it the District of Columbia. In the 1970s, really pretty much under Nixon. They began to try home rule, and it’s expanded ever since. And so you have this radical left city council crazy ass. It’s just nuts. And then you have this incompetent boob. Who’s the mayor? Who’s the mayor? The problem. And they said, well, look, murder rates gone down since last year and since five years ago or whatever they’re saying. Not that that that matters. That’s not the right comparison, in my view. And the White House put out some information I thought was very useful, as a matter of fact. Anybody can read it. Washington, D.C. should be a symbol of pride and patriotism for the American people. Here are the facts. In 2024, it saw a homicide rate of 273. Per. I’m reading this right? May I say no? 27.3 per 100,000 residents. That was the fourth highest homicide rate in the country, nearly six times higher than New York City. Also higher than Atlanta, Chicago and Compton, of all places, Chicago. If Washington, D.C. was a state, it would have the highest homicide rate of any state in the nation. Now, you won’t hear this from the media. In 2012, the homicide rate in Washington, D.C. was just 13.9 per 100,000. Now it’s 27.3. Its murder rate is roughly three times higher than that of Islamabad, Pakistan, 18 times higher than communist run Havana, Cuba. The number of juveniles arrested in Washington has gone up each year since 2020, many of whom have had prior arrests for violent crimes. There were nearly 30,000 crimes reported in Washington last year, including almost 3500 violent offenses, over a thousand assaults with a dangerous weapon, over 2000 robberies, over 5000 motor vehicle thefts. I’d say that’s a lot. So far this year, there have already been 1600 violent crimes, nearly 16,000 total crimes. There have been nearly 100 homicides, including the fatal shootings of innocent civilians like three year old honesty chowder in 21 year old Capital Hill intern Eric Tapia in Jim. Very little has been talked about. That guy. That poor young man. The Internet vehicle theft in Washington, D.C., is more than three. Times the national average ranking it almost the most dangerous city among the most dangerous cities in the world. Carjackings increased 547% between 2018 and 2013. Excuse me, In 2023. In 2024. Last year there were triple the number of carjackings compared to 2018. These statistics are not only troubling on their own, they also likely significantly understate the level of crime in Washington. The Metropolitan Police Department leadership are allegedly cooking the books to make crime statistics appear more favorable. Many residents don’t feel safe reporting crime. More than half of all violent crime in the U.S. goes unreported in the first place. WUSA TV, the local station, they said. D.C. residents voice frustration over rising violence, questioning police stats and demanding real action. To make neighborhoods feel safe again. Cooking the books. What do you mean, Mark? I’ll tell you what I mean. This was local news, NBC channel for D.C. police commander. This is from this July. Suspended, accused of changing crime statistics. Oh, do tell. A D.C. police commander is under investigation for allegedly making changes in crime statistics in his district. Metropolitan Police Department confirmed he was placed on paid administrative leave in mid-May. That happened just a week after he filed an equal employment opportunity complaint against an assistant chief in the police union accused the department of deliberately falsifying crime data, according to three law enforcement sources familiar with the complaint. And it goes on. Whatever they do, They’ve been known to hire people from the Census Bureau to help them as a producer. It’s funny how all these so-called independent entities apparently have a real problem with arithmetic. All right. So there’s real crime. Dangerous. Violent crime in Washington, D.C., and people try to stay out of the streets at night. This is the truth. And right around the Capitol building and in Lafayette Park, you have people being violently attacked. Around their convention center, which used to be a very nice area. People are told to stay away. But don’t worry, the media tell us. Don’t worry. The Democrats, Dallas. Don’t worry. The people responsible for keeping the city safe. The mayor, tell us. Then it’s overstated. Now, what is President Trump done in response to this? I’ll explain when we return. We’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Let’s go to cut 16. The president of the United States today. Go. I’m announcing a historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse. This is Liberation Day in D.C. and we’re going to take our capital back. We’re taking it back. Under the authority vested in me as the president of the United States, I’m officially invoking Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. You know what that is? And placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. And you’ll be meeting the people that will be directly involved with that. Very good people. But they’re tough and they know what’s happening and they’ve done it before. In addition, deploying the National Guard to help reestablish Law Order and public safety in Washington, D.C., and they’re going to be allowed to do their job properly. So already and I predicted this, I posted this on all the social sites that the left would say this is dictatorial and he’s this and he’s that and the other. There’s nothing dictatorial about this. This is that section of the D.C. Home Rule Act was passed by Congress. The fact that the city is a federal city is in the Constitution. The oversight of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department is also authority granted to the president when he deems their emergency. And of course, he has control over the National Guard that can be used to back up the police. There’s absolutely nothing, nothing unconstitutional, Lawless, about any of this. The problem is what’s going on in the nation’s capital. The nation’s capital is where our national government is centered purposely. All three branches of government. And when people can’t be safe in our nation’s capital. Then the federal government is at risk. And so the president I’m sure he’d rather not do this. He’s trying to resolve this now. What he’s doing is a good thing for the people of the District of Columbia, a city that’s like 90 some odd percent Democrat that has never voted for him and never will that will never vote for a Republican. That I believe is a majority minority, majority black even. So what he’s doing is he’s bringing. Security and protection to the people of the District of Columbia, unlike the radical kook city Council and the incompetent mayor. And it’s the people there who are suffering. How about if you went door to door and the media want? Of course, they report from their heavily secured high rises. That the people of Washington would support this. I bet they would. Now you got this clown, this Marxist, this Islamist, this Jew hater, this Christian hater. This trust fund baby who now lives in a rent control apartment. This man, Danny. And if he hadn’t been caught by Cuomo, he’d still live in a rent control apartment. But you have him now going to all the five boroughs in New York City running against Donald Trump. Because he’s a moron, because he’s a fool, and because that’s what his advisors told him to do. I would like to see this. I would like to see a white paper or whatever color you prefer laying out specifically how he would run grocery stores in the city. Wouldn’t you like to see that, Mr. Producer? I would like to see how the food chain works, who the employees would be, how they’re going to price things, how they’re going to make sure there’s enough food on the shelves. I would like to know where they’re located. I want to know all of it. That’s just one little fraction of what he wants to. He wants to take over. I’d love to see it, but we won’t. We? I’ll be right back.
