On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, history is repeating dangerous patterns from the 1930s, when advanced Germany descended into Nazism and mass murder through citizen denial, weak politicians’ acquiescence, and failure to take threats seriously. Today, Tucker Carlson is echoing Goebbels-style propaganda, siding with Iran and Putin against America while pretending patriotism. Why aren’t top Republicans throughout Washington calling out Carlson. They need to stop whispering about him and speak openly and publicly. The same goes for too many in the media, some of which promote him and some of which field his leaks. Also, how does diplomacy work with a hostile regime that prefers war, terrorism, and has killed over a thousand Americans while maiming tens of thousands? Iran cannot be trusted and any progress in talks or deal is meaningless since the regime will not uphold agreements. Later, Steve Hilton calls in and discusses his run for California Governor. California has failed after 16 years of one-party Democrat rule. The state has the highest poverty rate, highest unemployment, and highest cost of living – it’s time for change. Finally, Mark Penn calls in and praises President Trump’s State of the Union speech as exceptionally powerful, with its effective storytelling, patriotic rhetoric, and emotional-policy blend – contrasting it with past speeches like Bill Clinton’s. He also explained that the Democrats appearing to win by losing amid widespread voter unease with the economy and both parties.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. You know, you’re my radio family and we share a lot of information. And I’m so honored that you’re out there. And a step back started to think about what’s swirling around us. You and me. You, Mr.. Mrs.. America. You know how they say history repeats itself or some history. My God, better never repeat itself. Those of us who are old enough were taught or read on our own, but took place 100 years ago. We shook our heads. We saw the black and white films. Germany was an advanced country and had advanced science, dance, mathematics. Hundreds of years of culture. Not a third world country, not a backward country. So how does. How does a country like that? Produce an entire Nazi movement. And one of the worst mass murders in the history of mankind. It happens when early on. The citizenry. Well, they don’t want to believe what’s taking place, so they ignore it. It happens when you have weak politicians. Who acquiesced to it. It happens when other people don’t take it seriously. This is how it happens. What starts out as a cabal. Winds up as a movement. It’s the way totalitarianism often works. And then one day it’s so bad you are concerned about it. You’re worried about it. But it’s too late. It’s too late. We see this happening to Jews and we see this happening to Christians all over the world. Christians are being targeted in Africa. There just aren’t enough Jews. So the Islamists are slaughtering Christians. Black Christians. Because in Africa, most of the people are black. And they’re slaughtering them. Now, typically you hope. That advanced Western societies. Well, at a minimum, speak out. At a minimum. Now, the 1930 saw a movement, an isolationist movement. The Depression hit. And the isolationists thought it was. Was the time to exploit it. How. To create foils. To create enemies. And it was the Jews. The Jews. The Jews controlled the banks. The Jews controlled foreign policy. The Jews controlled commerce. The Jews. The Jews controlled entertainment, the movies. They controlled everything. This tiny, tiny percentage of the population. Money changes. They’re running the country. The Rothschilds. They’re running the country. Now, some of you may have thought this is just too preposterous. This must have ended. With Hitler and the end of World War Two. But it has not. It’s back. For several reasons. Among other reasons, we’ve imported the enemy. Islamists. We’ve imported Islamists. Who and how to play the game. They’re so brazen, though. They’re so out in the open. They’re telling us exactly what they want to do. They’re in a hurry. So let’s get past the Jew part. Let’s get to the Christian part, and let’s just destroy the entirety of the United States. That’s why people who seek to divide we Americans based on faith and race and so forth, these are diabolical people. We need our unity now more than ever. We need our Judeo-Christian belief system now more than ever. We need to hold tight on to it. Now we have left wing Democrat lawyers who serve as judges who will not allow the administration to deport these people. We have Democrat governors and mayors. Who bring out their typical militia. The militia, you know, the paid for so-called protesters they used are billionaires to pay for them. They have their source, prosecutors, not to prosecute them. And they have their Democrats in Congress who have shut down a very important element within our government relating to national security and airline security in order to protect. They’re new constituents, their militia. The Islamists. The Islamists in the Marxist. Have a aligned. The same end as I’ve been writing and speaking the same end. The destruction of our civilization. A rejection of the Declaration. Of rejection of the Enlightenment. Certainly rejection of Jews and Christians. See, they know that Jews and Christians are tied at the hip. Then there’s elements in the Republican Party, but they’re not really in the Republican Party. You have individuals. Are more of the neofascist type. They call themselves nationalists when they’re not calling themselves populists. I call myself an American. They’re playing right out of the 1930s playbook. And the America First Committee that was formed in the thirties, beginning by students at Yale University or as a Yale College, I guess. Became the largest pacifist. So-called antiwar organization in America, 800,000 members and had prominent members on its board, including Henry Ford, who was a devout Jew hater. And Charles Lindbergh. Very articulate. A hero. Gave one of the most grotesque anti-Semitic speeches of any public official. And Father Coughlin. This sounds very much like this woman who was on the president’s religious Liberty Committee. She’s Father Coughlin. And address that is when she’s dressed. He was one of the most popular radio hosts in America. Just as Tucker. Is a very popular podcast. He was platform today by making Kelly. Now, these are people you wouldn’t want to have dinner with. These are people you wouldn’t want to be around with. Carlson’s comments. Are those of a Goebbels like Hitler wannabe? He would have fit in beautifully. And I am not kidding. With the Third Reich. Beautifully. He got down all the. All the hate language. He would have cited, in my view, a Germany against the United States, the way he sides with Iran, against the United States and Putin against the United States while he pretends to be Mr. America. But that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about. Where are the Republicans? There’s a few of them. I’m tired of them whispering to me, telling me how awful Tucker is and patting me on the back for taking him on. That’s been going on for almost a year. Where are they? Why aren’t they condemning him? Why aren’t they condemning him and his Goebbels like propaganda? And the sort of Hitlerian movement he hopes to build. This is exactly what happened in the thirties, actually the late twenties. They had a parliament there. And members of the parliament were mostly silent in the face of Hitler. There’s a long story that can be told about all of this. You can check it out on my main video podcast. Is it still downloading? Mr. Producer. We’re good. So it just got up there because we had some technical issue. Liberty’s voice and I walk all through it. But Lindbergh. We go around the country giving speeches. And this. America First Committee was made up of Communists. Fascists. Regular Americans. Who got sucked into it. Then we were attacked by the Japanese. December seven, 1941, and they disbanded three days later. Limburg was disgraced. So were the others disgraced? Now. We were at war, so the enemy didn’t attack. Jews and Christians. They attacked the United States of America. They attacked our Navy. The enemy today. Iran. They want to blow us at the face of the earth. They are obsessed with getting nuclear weapons. Anybody who thinks some kind of a deal, some kind of a negotiation, diplomacy, some kind of a paper agreement will stop them is dead wrong. And if that’s the outcome of this, I pray to God it’s not. Then we will have surrendered to it. In the name of a cease fire, in the name of a peace agreement, whatever it is, we will have surrendered to the enemy. Despite the massive armadas that are there. In the Middle East. It’s time for people to speak out. I’m calling on the Republicans. He’s elected Republicans in Congress, Republican governors, senators, congressmen, state assemblyman, state senators. Your silence is deafening. It’s disastrous for the country. It is disastrous. For the party. It’s. Disastrous for our foreign policy. It’s time that. Karlsson be persona non grata. They do not have his way walking through the White House anymore. He’s kryptonite. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
I want to read this to you from the Jerusalem Post. U.S.. Iran nuclear talks were positive, quote unquote, Next round to be held in Vienna, a source tells The Post. What is this happy hour? What the hell is going on here with these these terrorists? I mean, really. This drags on and on and on, we look to me more and more foolish. Whatever happens in the end, the US left the negotiating table during the third round of talks, third round between the U.S. and Iran. On Thursday, Iranian media reported. Oman’s Foreign minister Saeed Badr bin Hamad al whatever yabba dabba do, described the talks as having made significant progress, quote unquote, and announced that more discussions will take place next week in Vienna. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s to discuss. They cheat and they lie. Why are we doing this? It’s a head fake. You tell me. It’s the longest head fake in the history of mankind. Now, I’m not saying ultimately the president won’t pull the trigger. In fact, I believe he will. And I pray he will. But nonetheless, I want to keep pressing the point because there are isolationists. He’ll have a different point of view and think it’s perfectly fine if the enemy gets nuclear weapons and it’s perfectly fine if they keep threatening to use them against us. I happen to love my country. My fellow citizens, my children and grandchildren. And I don’t think it’s perfectly fine in the least. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Senator John Kennedy on the floor of the Senate today addressing the ayatollah. One go. Now, everybody has the right to believe what they want. I’ll tell you what. The ayatollah believes he is Muslim, but his strain of Islam says that if you do not agree with his interpretation of the law of God, then you deserve to die. You do. And he acts on that. Now, let me say again, the Ayatollah is entitled to believe what he wants. I was raised a Presbyterian. My parents founded two Presbyterian churches. When Becky and I got married. Becky. Becky was a methodist. I was a Presbyterian. Would compromise. I became a methodist. I’m entitled and believe what I want. But the Ayatollah not only thinks that I’m going to hell because I don’t agree with his religion. He wants to kill me. He wants to kill Americans and Israelis and anybody who does not believe in his God and drink our boat out of a boot. And he’s acted on that. I don’t need to tell you, Mr. President. Mm hmm. Markwayne Mullin, senator from Oklahoma on CNN yesterday. Got to go. If we obliterated it, we being the United States last summer. Then why are you worried about it right now? This is the game. This is the game. This is why Kaitlan Collins is so disgusting, and yet she fits beautifully into the CNN environment. And the answer to that is simple. The senator gives the answer. Why does anybody think we need to do this now? Because the rebuilding rate rich. So why such a stupid question other than to try and take a cheap shot at the President? I’m also sick of this. Too sick of these prepubescent low IQ unaccomplished self. Assigned journalists of sick of it. Go ahead building it and you can see them rebuilding it. But it was encouraging. But it doesn’t mean you can’t rebuild. I mean, people have car accidents and blew right there, their bones in their legs. And yet they can still put you know, they can still put metal back in them and and and walk again. But it’s June. How is it February? And we’re now, as Steve Wyckoff put it, a week away from Iran doing this. I don’t know. I can’t speak for for Steve. I haven’t got those reports. And, you know, I’ve been right in on some of these programs. And so I don’t know what she was looking at on saying he’s wrong or right. I just haven’t seen that. What is the point of this questioning? What is the point of it? Does she honestly believe? That this regime is going to stop when it’s not. Does she know what she’s talking about? Does she even understand what she’s talking about, who we’re dealing with? Go ahead. The president said that they had ten or 15 days. The president doesn’t bluff. Just stop pushing forward with rebuilding their nuclear sites. And and, by the way, if it takes us removing the ayatollah from keeping the the nuclear program from moving forward, then that’s not off the table. But we would prefer diplomacy. The reason why the president is for diplomacy so may be you do and some of the other Republicans do. Why would I prefer diplomacy? How does diplomacy work? With a regime like this, I really need to. To screw down on this. I really need to bear down on this. I’m not understanding this because it’s incoherent. We prefer diplomacy. I prefer, you know, Eminem’s. So what? We prefer diplomacy. We’re not children. We’re not naive. This is a regime that prefers war. This is a regime that prefers terrorism. This is a regime that’s killed over a thousand Americans. Does that matter? This is a regime that has maimed tens of thousands of Americans. Does that matter? It matters to me. And exactly how will we make sure they’re not building nuclear weapons? And what happens if they are? We’re going to send two more armadas over there after we pull them back. No. Well, a future president. Do it. No. Did we do that with North Korea? No. Did we sign agreements with more Korea? More than we can count. We tried everything. We gave them money. We removed our nukes from South Korea. And guess what? There are no nukes in South Korea. There are 50 in North Korea. So what is this? We prefer diplomacy. We prefer a deal. If you’re dealing with somebody and they don’t even want to cut your throat. Let’s put it this way. If you’re dealing with somebody and you’re negotiating for a car, a sale of a car. And that individual has lied repeatedly. They’ve told her the car’s fine. Turns out on one occasion, the transmission is not fine. All right, give me another chance. And it turns out the engine’s not fine. Then you give him another chance. Turns out the air conditioning is not fine. Then you give him a. How many chances do they get? We prefer a negotiation. Now take that example and throw it away. Imagine a country. Imagine nuclear weapons, ICBMs and ballistic missiles. Now you’re dealing with a death call, not a car. Does any of this make sense to anybody other than the neo fascists, the Marxists and the Islamists? Regular Americans. There’s any there’s any of this make sense to you? No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t make any sense. We have progress in our negotiations, reads the newspaper report. What does that even mean? That they’re going to agree to something that they’re not going to. Uphold. I mean, are you and I supposed to pretend? That these aren’t psychopaths obsessed. With obliterating us and our children and our grandchildren. When? That’s when they tell us. What does that mean? We’re making progress. It means they’re making progress. Because if there’s a deal, any deal, regardless of what the deal says. I’m sorry. It’s surrender. We have a sponsor out there. I’m not going to mention them. First of all, we have fantastic sponsors. One that thinks I’m talking too much about this stuff, Mr. Produce. None of the ones that you currently here. I’m thinking to myself. Then leave. This is life and death stuff. Your comedy channels or music channels. There’s how do channels. Radio is a big, big, big field. It’s a big field. But when the hammer does come down, either our hammer on them or their hammer on us. People are going to say, Why didn’t we do anything about it? Why didn’t anybody say anything about it? I pray to God that doesn’t happen. But it will be. It will be a refrain that will be used. Well, at least they won’t be able to say that about you, Mr. and Mrs. America and me. We are well informed. We are up to date. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be in a free republic. There’s all kinds of candidates going on out there. On radio, on TV, on podcasts, on God knows what else. It’s all available. Ten days from now, you won’t even know what they’re talking about. It’s okay. To each his own. Teachers own. But the pots and pans need to be bang. The sirens need to go off. This is not a joke. It’s a very, very serious. And honestly, I am appalled and frustrated and stunned that when we’re talking about a terrorist regime, a terrorist regime that has taken over a country that is hell bent. And using technology from the Chinese and others. On having ballistic missiles that can reach our country. With nuclear warheads and biological warheads and chemical warheads. That this is too much to handle. Shame, Shame, Shame! This is exactly what we’re supposed to be doing. Exactly. What we’re supposed to be doing with free speech and these amazing platforms. I don’t take any of it for granted. I think it’s very serious and very important. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
And all of a sudden the Democrats think you have to declare war when you make war. There’s no such thing. It’s a lie. We have constitutional illiterates. There are radical libertarians. Ah, who who fancy themselves constitutional experts. You’re not a constitutional expert if you take your ideology and use it as the basis for interpreting the Constitution, that’s not the way it’s supposed to work. The way it’s supposed to work. And even Montesquieu wrote about this, as you look at the text of it and you interpret it and apply it, and if the text doesn’t help, you go to the next level, which is you look at the the legislative history, the history around it. And that’s what the court needs to do when it comes to this phony birthright citizenship. They need to look at the Constitution and they won’t find it. They need to look at the word jurisdiction in the context of what it was written. And what they will find is that it had absolutely nothing to do with foreigners having children in our country. That is illegal aliens. Zero. The Constitution is a force. It’s our mooring. Unless, of course. And. Unless, of course, the people who take an oath and swear. On a Bible. They uphold the Constitution, violate their oath. That’s a whole different story. Now, Claire McCaskill is a loser. She’s a Democrat who was in the Senate. She lost her seat in Missouri. I’d say she’s just another pretty face on TV, but that’s not true either, Mr. Producer. And so listen to this. Here we are on the precipice of war that is responding to war. We’ve been at the victim, the subject, the target of war for 47 years by that regime. And hopefully finally we’re going to do something about it and put an end to it. Here’s Claire McCaskill on the morning show show cut three ago. It is shocking to me that Donald Trump is this close to declaring what could be the biggest war in the Middle East in our lifetimes. And that’s saying something, considering what we went through both in Iraq and Afghanistan without really making the case to the American public. If you look back at this, at how he’s made the case over and over again, he said they cannot have a nuclear weapon. They cannot keep slaughtering their people. He’s made the case. But you know what, Claire McCaskill? Here’s what’s interesting. We the people are pretty sharp. This has been going on for 47 years. The case has been made. The case has been made by the enemy. We know who the enemy is. It’s not like we need somebody to tell us. This may be complicated for you, but no, they’ll do anything they can. They throw obstacles in front of this president. They want him to fail, even if it means us losing a military battle. I’m not kidding. That’s their mindset. Go ahead. Invasion of Iraq. There was a lot of work by the Bush White House, which history has shown. Some of it was incorrect. But nonetheless, they felt an obligation to at least have the country be on board with what they were doing and why they were doing it. What I’m most worried about, after sitting in briefing after briefing, both in the United States, not even in the Senate, she was thrown out. I could be wrong. I think Josh Hawley better. Somebody better. She was thrown out. Now, I’m not going to condemn George W Bush here, but I will say that he had his way of handling it. And President Trump has his way of handling it. And I suspect a President Trump decides to go forward, decides to be a Churchill. That. I’ll handle it very, very, very well. We’ll be right back.
