On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Venezuela’s regime, allied with communist China, Iran, and others, is deliberately poisoning the U.S. through drugs, contributing to hundreds of thousands of American deaths, making inaction absurd. The war crime claims from Democrats, from a denied report on killing drug boat survivors, are ridiculous. This Venezuela situation is similar to the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama via Operation Just Cause—a surprise attack without war declaration or prior congressional input due to leak fears—to oust drug lord Manuel Noriega, who partnered with Colombians to flood the U.S. with drugs, while restoring democracy and safeguarding Americans. Also, going forward, every Republican who wants our votes need to declare if they stand with or against Tucker Carlson. This isn’t about Carlson, it’s a litmus test for fundamental morality, ethics, principles, understanding of American history, and opposition to bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, attacks on Christianity, excuses for the Third Reich, and revisionist narratives portraying America or Churchill as villains. There’s an overlap between Marxist Islamists, and neo-fascists in condemning Judaism, Christianity, and the West, while failing to defend capitalism, free markets, the nation’s founders, or its principles. Later, the book “Liberty and Tyranny,” critiques the statist argument for comprehensive immigration reform, which grants illegal immigrants’ rights to enter illegally and remain, access welfare benefits like education, healthcare, housing, and food stamps, vote, and be counted in the census, all under the guise that America is a nation of immigrants. Today, almost 20 years later, this remains unchanged. No, immigrants do not have a right to come to America. Finally, parents need to encourage their children to compete, take jobs, work hard, and create opportunities rather than blaming a corrupt system. Success has never come easy for previous generations, including the greatest generation that endured wars and depression.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. I hope you get a great Thanksgiving. And I want to thank all the great folks who sat in for me here and they are terrific and all of our great affiliates from sea to shining sea every corner of the globe. Man, oh man. Auschwitz, too. We have a lot to talk about, immigration as relates to Afghanistan and so forth. Venezuela. I see. Some legal analysts are writing extensively on how what the president and secretary of defense are doing is illegal and unconstitutional. Which is B.S.. I want to tell you about the Internet, how toxic it is, how manipulative people on there are, and how it adds to so much. Of the some of the problems we have in this country and working in and all this stuff. But first, let’s talk about this Venezuela issue. It’s funny. Jack Keane, General Keane and I were of the same mindset, but I was digging into this on December 20, 1989. United States military invaded Panama. No declaration of war. It was a surprise attack. We launched Operation Just Cause. We invaded Panama. There was no consultation with Congress until after the invasion began because of fear of leaks. For the purpose of deposing Manuel Noriega. He was, among other things, another drug kingpin. He was running a narco police sting. And he was working closely with the Colombians and they were shipping those drugs not exclusively, but mostly into the United States. The theory was to restore democracy in Panama, which is fairly democratic now, and to drag Noriega. I found this. Oh, my goodness. That’s crazy. My iPhone is talking to me. Let me shut that. Ah, sorry, folks. Wow. Comes to technology unlike the last I know. But as I was saying, they brought him to the United States to face drug trafficking charges. And the goal was to protect American lives. Now the Panamanian defense forces, they put up a defense, but they were what they were. And there were casualties. About 300 Panamanian soldiers and civilians were killed. 23 of our soldiers were killed. Hundreds were wounded. In Panama. And we backed the government by Guglielmo and Dara. Noriega was eventually convicted, sent to prison in the United States. And it goes on and on. But the point is this. That’s a lot of military activity. Lethal military activity. Military activity intended to stop a narco mobster from using his government, his country. Police state tactics working with other countries, including enemies of ours, are certainly adversaries of ours. To push drugs into our country, which obviously is a horrible thing. It kills a lot for people. Now I see some of these former federal prosecutors. I writing very long pieces, trying to tell you that these are criminal issues, not military issues, not terrorist issues. You know, they’re not mutually exclusive in this case. You can still bring somebody to justice in a courtroom if that’s your goal. But the idea that you can’t take action. Against another government in our hemisphere. That is purposely killing our citizens. In the case of Venezuela, working with the Communist Chinese, working with the Iranians, working with other governments. And pouring that poison into our country and contributing to the death of hundreds of thousands of American citizens is absurd, absolutely absurd. And yet some people are writing this up as if these are war crimes. Now they’re basing that on a report that the president and the secretary of defense deny. That there were a few guys and one of these boats who were not killed from the explosion of the boat or hanging on the end of the boat. And we sent in special forces or somebody to kill them. And the administration says, no, that’s not what happened. So I don’t see these great legal or constitutional impediments to protecting the people of this country. At all. And also Carolyn Levin pointed out today repeatedly that we have informed Congress that we have briefed the key committees like we’re supposed to, that we have made the documentation available to them that almost 30 members of the Senate and well over 100 members of the House have looked at the materials. Many have been briefed on it. So what is all this talk that we haven’t told Congress? Now they want more answers from the Pentagon. I guess they’ll get more answers. But I just want you to know. That these are actions that are being taken to defend our homeland directly. I’m sure some of the isolationists will view this as another forever war. Whatever they spew, you must be a neocon. They don’t even know what a neocon is. You are a neo con. You are an interventionist. You’re a forever war guy. What are you? So any action? Pretty much to protect even the homeland directly. That shows you how how unhinged these people are for the most part. Of course, we have a right. To prevent. Other governments. From pouring drugs into our country as they conspire one with the other. That’s outrageous. To suggest otherwise said you have to bring it into a courtroom. That’s just nuts. It’s not true. Yeah. I’m trying to find something here. I don’t think I have it. Bear with me, folks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we are. Caroline Levitt at the White House briefing today. Let’s go to cut a lemon, Mr. Producer. Go. President Trump and Secretary Haig said have made it clear that presidentially designated narco terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance with the laws of war. With respect to the strikes in question. On September 2nd, Secretary Haig, Seth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated. Very simple. Two steps down and drugs to the United States. And there won’t be a problem, but they won’t stop. Because the truth is, Venezuela has acted as a hub for many of these terrorist states, Marxist states, whatever states. And he’s become a multibillionaire as a result of this. Pushing drugs into our country and killing our people. Now, let’s pretend the guy didn’t run a government, but was just some billionaire sitting in Venezuela and doing. You think we’d put up with that? The fact is, he’s taken over this government. He’s not the duly elected person in charge of this government. Two elections in a row. And he’s using the power of a government and the geography close to the United States to pour this crap into our country. Now, for those who say this is a criminal matter and needs to be dealt with criminally. Well, we do have to send a significant land force in there to get the man, wouldn’t we? Are they allowed to shoot their way in or what do they have to do? How are they supposed to get in there and how are they supposed to get out of there? So the president trying to put maximum pressure on to force this guy out. For some of you isolationists out there, you might call that regime change, right, Mr. Producer? The president wants regime change in Venezuela. That’s what he wants. And he’s right. And he’s correct. Did he say regime change? Oh. Must be a neocon Jew. Sick. Carolyn Levin on this Washington Post story says Hakes have ordered everyone from the drug boat killed. She said that’s not true. Cut 14, Go. The initial order from Secretary Haig said everyone be killed in. Did that come from President Trump? I saw that quoted in a Washington Post story. I would reject that the secretary of war ever said that. However, the president has made it quite clear that if narco terrorists, again, are trafficking illegal drugs towards the United States, he has the authority to kill them. And that’s what this administration is doing. So now the the usual. The usual anti-Americans are calling this a war crime, a war crime. And many of these people spewing the phrase war crime. Have been defenders of Putin have been defenders of Hamas. They’re very. They’re very subjective about their moral claims. This guy, Senator Mark Kelly, who was encouraging the military to basically overthrow this administration. Here he is, cut 15, go. Based on what you what CNN is reporting, what The Washington Post is reporting, do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors, that that. I’ve told you before. There is no difference between the meeting, the Democrat Party. There just none. The media exists to advance the propaganda, the talking points, the policies, the power of the Democrat Party. They exist for no other reason in this country. Go ahead. It seems to if that if that is true, if what has been reported is accurate, I’ve got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We’re not Iraq. We hold ourselves. They don’t understand our military history. We’re not Russia. We’re not Iraq. We don’t have to be Russia in Iraq. We want nothing to do with them. It’s amazing to me. Amazing to me how they would have our war fighters fight wars with their hands tied behind their backs. This is why you have such disasters under the Democrats and under some Republicans. Here’s this guy, Angus King, named after a cow. Cut 16. Go. It’s all about the facts, Kate. The law is clear. If the facts are, as have been alleged, that there was a second strike specifically to kill the survivors in the war in the water. That’s a stone Cold War crime is also murder. So the real question is amazing. They will bend over backwards. To give, quote unquote, due process to mass murders, murderers, two murderers who were imported into our country. They will bend over backwards. But when it comes to Pete Hegseth, that’s murder, man. These are war crimes. He gave these orders. He’s finished. That’s it. That’s it. Based on a New York Post story. That’s been denied. Go ahead. Which orders? When were they given? And that’s what we’re going to get to get to the bottom of in the Congress, as you point out, a bipartisan interest in this. Roger Wicker, the chair of the Armed Services Committee, has said we’re going to we’re going to dig into this. So, again, it’s amazing to me how close some of these rhinos are with the isolationists. Amazing to me. Running around neo con neo. And yet there the cons. So here we have the rhinos. They’re raising questions like the isolationists raised questions. And what are we trying to do here? Protect the United States directly and the people of the United States from one of the most horrendous drug warlords in the world who uses his military to kill his people, to torture his people, to rape his people, to enslave his people, as well as hired gangsters and militia? In order to keep control over that society. And continue to make his tens of billions of dollars killing our people. It’s just funny in a sick way. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
After the bottom of the hour. We do want to hit immigration very hard next hour. What is America first? What role does the Internet play? In promoting neo fascism and Marxism and Islamism. Now. I was thinking about this. I put it to the test over the past week. Dropped a few thoughts. My argument’s linked to a few people. That proved to be exactly what I thought it was. I’m not an Internet person. I’m a radio and a TV guy, but I do have a huge announcement. I can’t do it now. After the holiday break, about about the expansion of my platforms. I think you’ll be very, very interested in it, but not for now. But I want to get into this subject because I think it is toxic and poisoning the minds of a lot of young people and others and not necessarily by other young people. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
You know, there’s a lot of good that goes on and on the Internet, but there’s a lot of very bad that goes on there, too. You’ll notice these assassins like to hang out in the Internet. They like to hang out in these. They call them board rooms are really very dark rooms where. Dangerous attitudes are reinforced over and over again. Elon Musk. To his great credit. Has taken the veil off of many of the people who post there. In many of the accounts there. A lot of them are foreign enemy countries, adversary countries. That we see. Most people who post are anonymous terms of their actual identity, or they at least try to be. Some are not. Don’t get me wrong. But most are. And unfortunately, a lot of this current generation gets a lot of its news and information off the Internet. Now, that’s okay if they go to places that actually have news. In entertainment. But it’s not great when they go there and their minds are intentionally manipulated and poisoned intentionally so. And when you put that on top of what they’re being taught, the brainwashing that goes on in K through 12, and for those who attend college by the faculty, they’re on Marxism, Islamism and so forth, anti-Americanism. This is certainly part of the reason why we’re losing the younger generation. Not all of it, by the way. Maybe not even most of it. Can’t trust pollsters these day, that’s for sure. Can’t trust the most. But it is much more of a daunting and difficult task, isn’t it, to reinforce what was reinforced into you about faith, family and country and patriotism? It’s a very, very toxic environment. And there’s a lot of character assassination that goes on there. It’s not so much free speech. In fact, the effort is to intimidate people, to silence silence people, sort of a mob think mob rule. So does it’s not it’s not intended to spread free speech at all. But nonetheless, there it is. And so I just wanted to point this out. We saw a few of these guys who are putative pollsters. Some guy named Mark Mitchell, Erasmus and I used to like Rasmussen. I knew Scott Rasmussen was a good guy, by the way, sold the company. 2018, they had one of the worst. Polls of any pollsters I recall. In the midterm election. Remember those midterm elections where we’re going to win dozens and dozens of seats? And we did. In fact, we barely won at all. 2018. He apparently got it wrong. That’s the nature of polling. I get it. You’re not always going to be right. You’re not always going to be wrong. But don’t act like you know everything when you know actually very little. Fact, you started nothing. You inherited something. So it’s a guy named Rich Barris. I never heard of Rich Perez before. He’s got kind of a seedy background, but I’m not going to get into that. I’ll leave it to him on the Internet to do that. And I bring up these two guys and there’s a lot more. I put a post up saying that, Look, people are going to want to know and I want to know and I want to inform you, any candidate that runs for office who seeks our endorsement. I want to know if they stand with Tucker Carlson. Or against him. Now, why is that important? It’s not so much because of Tucker Carlson. Or even for dentists or even Bannon for the lesser known or the. But the worse of them. It’s because it tells you where they stand on fundamental issues of morality and ethics and principle on fundamental issues, a fundamental understanding of America in American history. And whether you’re a bigot. And a racist and an anti-Semite and somebody who is now attacking Christianity. Or if you’re somebody who makes excuses for the Third Reich. Who promotes the rewriting of history. So America is the bad guy. So Churchill in England. They’re the bad guys. That’s not America first. They can twist it any way they want. That plays into this this psychodrama that goes on on the Internet. It’s interesting that the Marxist Islamists and these. What are they? Neofascist? Whatever they are, call them what you wish. They call them the woke Reich. Ah, I see. But whatever you want to call them, it’s interesting that they. They overlap in this area, isn’t it? Some of them are pushing Sharia while condemning Judaism and Christianity. And the West. The entire West. I mean, after all, you know. They can put your key in your Lamborghini and keep it there. Nobody’s going to steal it. Ah, that’s the test. There’s not a great defense of capitalism, not a great defense of free markets that created this country and created all the wealth and the opportunity. Imperfect as it is more perfect than anything else. There’s not a great defense of the founders. Our principles. None of that is going on there. Very little. Very little. And they use the language of the Leninist and the Maoists, the old guard, you people out there who are 30 and older. Maybe 40. You’re the old guard. You people work for a living, who pay the taxes, who’ve built this country. You’re the old guard. You don’t know anything. No. If you’re 18 years old, you know everything. If you’re 21 years old, you know everything. If you’re hanging around the Internet, you’re 40 or 50 years old. You’re a genius. But all of you folks. You don’t know anything. You’re the old guard. You’re the establishment. Yet. We’re not the establishment. We’re the Reagan-ites were the William Buckley-ites with the Goldwater-ites, with the Milton Friedmanites, all the people who fought the Republican establishment decade after decade after decade and in many ways succeeded. Succeeded. I find a lot of these people utterly unprincipled. Utterly unprincipled. What do they stand for? They run around with these slogans and platitudes just like DeMarcus do. Just like they do. They attacked many of the same institutions. Yes, they do. So it’s. It’s very interesting. So we’re going to delve into it more over time. And we’re going to sort of institutionalize what we do. And push it more and more into the Internet to try and counter some of this. We want debate. We want ideas. But we’re not going to debate Nazis and neo-Nazis and that sort of thing. That’s not a debate. That is that that is an unhinged mentality. Absolutely unhinged. And we’ve debated all these people before on the left. We don’t debate Nazis and racists. And begets. There’s not such a debate. There’s nothing to debate. But we will debate everybody else, as we always have and we always will. That’s right. So we look at this. And we will keep a measure on this. People who stand one way or the other. America first is not Putin first. America first is not Islamism and Sharia law over Judaism and Christianity and Judeo-Christian values that built this nation in which most of you practice and embrace America first does not. Qatar. That’s supported 911. That’s the greatest terrorist state on the face of the earth. Over Israel. Which is a reliable ally. America first. Is it lying about Christianity and trashing evangelical Christians? That’s not America first. America first is in big government, socialism and the centralization of of economic decisions over capitalism. That doesn’t build America. That doesn’t help young people buy homes. It’s the same old, same old. America first. It’s not racism and anti-Semitism and bigotry. And it’s certainly not anti-Americanism. When you stand with the Third Reich. That’s anti-Americanism. Stand against. The greatest generation. Unfortunately, most of them are gone. They’re not even here to defend themselves as if they should write. America First isn’t trashing Ronald Reagan. And Bill Buckley and Barry Goldwater and Milton Friedman in so many of the great men. On his shoulders. We stand. And just because we have an ignorant class, whether they be pollsters. Our politicians. Our propagandists. Who seemed to think that they were born with all the knowledge in the world. That seemed to think the younger you are, the smarter you are. They reject Edmund Burke. They reject Adam Smith. They reject Cicero and Aristotle. And I can go on and on and on. They don’t even know what I’m talking about. But a podcaster. Yeah, that’s good. And some of these guys are in their thirties and forties and they look at us. The younger generation, You’re not younger. Carlson’s in his fifties. And that doesn’t matter anyway. You’re Marxists. Like Bernie Sanders. He’s 80 years old. You’ve got Islamists are in their eighties and nineties. You’ve got great men and women who are in their eighties and nineties. What does age have to do with it? I’ll tell you what it has to do with it, because this is a Marxist mentality. Categorizing people. Oh, he must be a boomer. Yeah, we’re the boomers who built the country. On the backs, the generation that preceded us. And you’ve built what exactly? Nothing. Zero. But we’re waiting for you to build. We want to help you to build your children and our grandchildren. But you’re not in charge. And there are people who are seeking to manipulate you in indoctrination as they grift their way, grift their way through life. They’ve contributed nothing to anything. I’m not just talking about a few miscreants and malcontents, pollsters and the like, but others who seek to manipulate. Think for yourself. Yes, it requires reading and so forth. Educate yourself. Take a time out from time to time on the Internet. Look at other walks of life. Embrace other things. It’ll make a difference. We have found. What was it you found, Rich? 35. 40% of the accounts that attack us are overseas. This is not a learning experience when you’re on the Internet. Now you can be Prager University. Outstanding. And there’s others just like it. I’m not talking about them. People who use the Internet for good. To uplift our country. To reinforce our principles. That’s a good thing. But people who spew bigotry and racism and anti-Semitism, anti Christianity, people who spew. That the Islamist point of view is actually in many ways better than our own point of view. People who trash our country and then want you to believe they’re pro our country. And if you disagree with them, you’ve got the problem. We’ve seen people like this before. They’re very evil and very. And very nasty. And you got to stand up. Done. And we will. There’s a guy with a website called Conservative Tree House. Yes, Guy has been a kook for decades. And he’s still very upset at me for calling him out for what he is. Years and years ago, must we remember him? He’s back, but he doesn’t matter. He’s irrelevant. They’re all irrelevant. But they have an impact. Even if it’s on a few people, it’s enough people. On the Internet. That’s where they live on the Internet. They can’t function very well anywhere else on the Internet. That’s where they are. That’s where they pray. Pray? Why? And that’s where they push their influence as much as they possibly can. There is a counter force out there going on that I’m noticing, too. Again, I was just there for a week immersed in it. Wanted to see how it works and so forth. I have almost 5 million followers there. I don’t promote. The Internet cannot promote our site on the Internet very much. But that’s going to change. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
I want to get into more about the Internet, but I also want to get into heavily into this immigration issue and Afghanistan, because there’s a bigger picture here. We’ve discussed it in the past, but I want to underscore it again. We’ll be right back.
