On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, there is an ongoing effort to hijack the conservative movement and MAGA, which is rooted in the Tea Party and constitutional conservatism. We reject any defense of the Third Reich, attacks on Christians, Jews, or Israel, and sabotage from within. True patriots focus on real threats like illegal immigration, Islamism, economic socialism, ideological Marxism, and figures from George Soros to the woke Reich neo-fascists. These infiltrators pretend to seek debate but aim to control and destroy the movement, much like Marxists and Islamists. President Trump independently learned about this ongoing internal battle within the conservative movement and MAGA and posted a supportive message to Mark Levin on Truth Social. The post reaffirms MAGA’s commitment to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and achieving peace through strength and dismisses critics like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly. Trump threw down the gauntlet against neo-fascists, anti-Semitism, Nazism, and character assassination. Also, Joy Reid said women in Iran have it better than in America. She’s free to leave and join Carlson in Qatar or, she might enjoy the life of a woman in Iran. And do the so-called women’s groups even exist anymore? The past few years have seen the most shocking abuse of women by Hamas and Iran and mostly crickets. Later, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute Roger Zakheim calls in and explains that Trump is doing the right thing in Iran. The effort is going well and the United States and its military are winning, though mainstream media fails to report this positively. Zakheim believes President Reagan would thank Trump for finishing the war against Iran, which began its acts of terrorism in the Persian Gulf during Reagan’s presidency.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you had a great weekend. There’s an effort to hijack the conservative movement. There’s an effort to hijack MAGA. And I’ve told you before, I think, Maggie, much of it is the old Tea Party. And, of course, the conservative movement, constitutional conservatism is the umbrella to Tea Party MAGA, traditional conservatism, constitutionalism and so forth. We have never stood for and never will stand for. A defense of the Third Reich. Attacks on Christians. Attacks on Jews. Attacks on our ally Israel. We can have differences of opinion, of course, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the fundamentals. The fundamentals. We will never try to sabotage. Our movement from within. We are a good people, patriotic people. We love our country. We know the real threats that face this country Illegal immigration. Jihadi Islamism. Economic socialism, ideological Marxism. We see the consequences all around us from the George Soros’s in the mandamus, from the Bernie Sanders and the Talibs and Omar’s. And yes, from the woke, right. Neo fascist. They say they want to talk and debate, but they don’t want to talk and debate. They want to control. And devour, just like the Marxists and the Islamists. There’s nothing to debate. If you believe that Hitler had a few good points and that Churchill was the villain of World War Two. There’s nothing to debate. There’s nothing to debate. If you demand that Jews take DNA in order to determine if they’re actually Jews. There’s nothing to debate. There’s nothing to debate if you sit on the sidelines. Well. Erica Kirk. Is being brutalized by some of the most racist anti-Semites. And you sit silently. And say nothing. To a widow whose husband was assassinated. Six, seven months ago. Nothing. And there’s nothing to debate. If your goal is actually to destroy MAGA and destroy the Republican Party. And serve basically the interests. The interests of the Democrat Party. When you say Maggie’s is dead. The Republican Party should lose. You see, ladies and gentlemen, since I was 13 years old a long time ago. I’ve been a conservative activist. And I’ve read and I’ve read and I’ve studied and I’ve studied out of debate it and I debated our movement, our liberty movement has never faced anything like this before. The left is more extreme, more violent than ever, ever. And then this neo fascist, right? Seeks to devour us from within. And now they’re undermining the president, stabbing him in the back and our military in the middle of a war. That’s not who we are. That’s never who we’re going to be. There are some quislings in talk radio and elsewhere who throw up their hands and say, Can’t we just all get along? I would like us all to just get along. But if we just sit on the sidelines silently. And throw our hands in the air and say, Can’t we just get all along? Then we’re going to lose. We’re going to lose to the left and we’re going to lose to this to this virus, to this poison in our own midst. The Democrat Party should have stood up to the Marxists. The Democrat Party should have stood up to the Islamists, but it didn’t. And now that’s who they are. That’s what they represent. Those of us who are Goldwater ites and Reaganites and Trump ites. Those of us. Who are participants in the Tea Party Movement Convention of States. Who pushed hard for the election of Donald Trump. Those of us who back the military and the police. And love this country and want our borders secure. Those of us who know what the Declaration and Constitution say and support them, we can’t sit silently. Well, this is taking place. But what we have found is that the Marxists and the Islamists, they really don’t want to debate us. They want to control us. And what we have found with the neo fascists is their idea. Debate is like a debate within the Klan or the neo-Nazis. That’s not a debate either. We have nothing in common. Zero zero in common. Zero. When you root against your own country, against the Islamist Nazis in Tehran, whether you’re a neo fascist. Whether you are a marxist or an Islamist, whether you’re a Democrat or a phony Republican. We patriotic Americans, we we draw lines. That’s unacceptable. There’s nothing to debate. When you’re a hater. A hater. When you’re a saboteur, when you’re a grifter, there’s nothing to debate. But when we do debate. When we do debate. We want to debate with people who are intelligent. We want to debate with people who know something. We want to debate with people who’ve actually done something. Other than. Been in the media. Other than become rich. In the media. Self-serving, self-aggrandizing, narcissistic. What’s the debate? When I was young, I would and would look at people in the media who were like William F Buckley, who, by the way, ran for mayor of New York in 1965. I think it was started Young Americans Foundation, really one of the great youth foundations had still in existence. Found a National Review magazine. This guy was an entrepreneur. He was. He was a leader. And great minds like Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell. Who’s still with us. Because they said things that were profound, that were important for humanity and they loved the country and they wanted to protect this republic. That’s what we constitutional conservatives fundamentally were all about. Protecting the foundling. So we and the next generation. In sharing the fruits of such a fantastic society. And we’re happy to debate. Debate with people who’ve done something, who know something. But we have found that the neo fascist haven’t done anything and don’t know much. Self-aggrandizing and narcissistic grifters. Now is not the time for people to throw their hands in there. Can’t we all get along? We need to win the day. Now if we want to get along, I have some basic requirements. And then we’ll get along with the neo fascist. And I find it interesting that people even say, I’m tired of these podcasters fighting. So am I. I just became one, a podcaster. But what’s their resolution? To allow these impostors to take over the conservative movement. And destroy us. Is that what Bill Buckley did with the John Birch Society? No, I don’t think so. Is that what Ronald Reagan did? No, I don’t think so. Is that what Donald Trump has done? No, I don’t think so. If talk show hosts, whether they’re behind a radio microphone or a podcast camera, whatever they are, if they don’t have the guts. To defend this republic, then what good are they? What good are they? Now that said. There are no serious people. None. In this neofascist cabal? None. No serious people. They don’t have serious views. They lie. They’re conspiratorial. They are phallus hell with their mouths. They say things that should humiliate them that they should apologize for. Not to me. But their kids. Their kids hear what they say. They hear them drop the F bombs. I hear them talk about genitalia. They hear all this stuff. Are they proud of their mom or are they proud of their dad? Are they? We aren’t conservative talk radio. We don’t platform neo-Nazis. We don’t drop the F-bomb. We’re not allowed to, but we don’t. And we wouldn’t. Every other sentence. Like that’s some kind of. Appeal to somebody. I think this generation. Many of you have been fantastic. And what you’ve done for this country, your family. But we have an element. An element that is utterly and completely defective. They are all about themselves. Rather than use a platform like a podcast or a video podcast. To pass wisdom. The past knowledge to pass substance can be entertaining. It could be funny being a little bit outside the box. I got it to pass it on to younger people. People in their teens, their upper teens, their low twenties, mid twenties, youth, low thirties. To pass on information, knowledge that can be useful in their lives. That’s not what they’re doing. They are propagandists for the darkside. Of humanity. Jew hatred. Christian hatred. He has no place in the conservative movement. None. It is no place in MAGA. None. Mr. MAGA says so himself. That’s the President. And I’ll get to that next segment. None. That’s not something to be debated. That’s something to be denounced. There are so many Coward. You have no idea. So many cowards. I understand when you step into this. Like I told my wife ten or 11 months ago, I’m stepping into this toxic sewer because these people are going to destroy the Trump presidency. They’re stabbing him in the back. They’re going to destroy the conservative movement, the constitutionalists. They’re going to destroy any chance of the midterms, and they still have done grave damage to us. Of damage to the Republican Party, MAGA and the conservative movement. But many of these people are psychotic. Many of these people, you’re not their audience. Americans aren’t their audience. People in Pakistan, people in the Middle East, people in Southeast Asia. That’s their audience. Over 90% of you support the president and what he’s doing with Iran. You understand the mission. You understand the enemy. You’re smart. You want to protect your family. You want to protect future generations. You understand a terrorist with a nuclear missile with death. Death. You got it. You know it. It’s not a game. And then they tell us that’s not what we MAGA. That’s not what we believed. That’s not what we voted for. Are you kidding me? What did we vote for? Did we vote for terrorists to have nuclear weapons? I don’t remember doing that. Did we vote for president? To appease the enemy to the point where. The lives of everybody in this country is at stake. I’ve got more. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
It is time that we de-platform people. It is time that we use our common sense and our experience and our knowledge to dismiss people who should be dismissed just because they manage to climb the ladder. Get a big platform, get investors. Doesn’t mean we have to put up with it. Sometimes people need to be dismissed. Are they going to take us all down with them? The Republican Party, the conservative movement MAGA. All of it. I’ve been part of this movement for 55 years. I can name a whole host of people who are in different positions throughout the government, throughout think tanks, throughout legal groups. Politicians. If I’ve helped, if I’ve worked with. For a reason. Because we’re good people and we have great beliefs and principles and values. I see some people who claim to speak for us. You’ve been around a few years. They never got any dirt under their nails. They never bruised their knuckles, anything of the kind. Now’s the time for all good men and women to stand up and be heard, not to cower in the corner. Much more when I return.
Segment 3
In the 1950s and 1960s. Bill Buckley, 29 years old. Really helped organize the conservative movement. The modern conservative movement. And he wrote a bestseller that was published by Regnery, Henry Regnery at the time. It was a book company publisher that was doing very poorly. But they they wanted to publish conservative authors. And Henry Regnery was a real hero to. And. He started National Review magazine. He wanted to bring thought leaders together or even find some to have serious discussions. Because how the hard left have really taken over the country and the Republican Party didn’t really have an ability to respond to it. And. And he’s all but ignored today, which really is very problematic to me. The book he wrote was called God and Man at Yale. It became a national bestseller. God and man of you. And he goes on to write a lot of the things that were brilliant. He went on to found Firing Line on public television. As a young guy, I used to watch it, used to get National Review every two weeks. That was my birthday gift. I would watch Milton Friedman, I would watch Tom Soul, I would watch William Rusher and so many great thinkers and writers and leaders who came before us. I learned a great deal. That’s not happening today. Unless, of course, you listen to this show. And one of the great things he did was he took on the John Birch Society. Barry Goldwater was era mind. He didn’t want to take on the John Birch Society. So we got enough battles and they seemed like nice enough people. He would later reject them too. But. Buckley spent an annoying amount of his time battling the John Birch Society. To remove them from the conservative movement. So they would be viewed by the general population. As the crackpots that they were in are. So as to make it possible to advance the cause. Of conservatism without such baggage. Now, if you know anything about National Review and its early days, they had a lot of very brilliant people writing and they didn’t always agree. In fact, they often disagreed. And that was the genius of the whole the whole project. But they shared fundamental principles. Belief in God, a belief in this country, the Declaration, the Constitution. So the debate was within within boundaries. Boundaries. If you went off on Nazism and Jew hatred and that’s it, you are out of the boundaries. You’re out of bounds. There was nothing to debate. And so we have this problem today. And it’s a big problem. And I have to spend an inordinate amount of my time taking these people on. It’s not like it’s something that that I enjoy. But I want people to understand who are sending me beautiful texts and emails and phone calls. I am fine. I’m a tough old bastard. I’m okay. Just because some reprobate. Some foul mouth person. Once to blurt out an attack doesn’t affect me. She’s destroyed herself and she will continue to destroy herself. She has no circumspection. Or just because. At Tucker Carlson. Accuses me of starting a war. Representing Israel or whatever is is my home country. It’s never been my home country. I don’t know how far back his lineage goes here, but mine goes back a while. That doesn’t that doesn’t deter me. I’m not intimidated. And there are threats out there, believe it or not, and they’re not exactly enjoyable. And that’s not going to intimidate me either. I’m not going anywhere. I’m here for the long run, however long that is. And I’m going to keep pushing the cause of Americanism. People come up with new crackpot ideas, populism, nationalism, this ism that is paleo conservatism. And this one, no Americanism. We don’t have to buy off on every kook idea that comes out. But for those people who say enough with the debate in the arguments is your fault. You never were in the battle. You’ve never been in the battle. You’ve always been in the media, you’ve always been commentators, but you’ve never been in the battle. And some of them have had taken so many sides. Over the same issues over the years. It’s hard to know where they really stand. It truly is. But there has to be some level of purpose in a debate. And the people you debate with have to have some level. Of rationality and reason. If they’re in the business. Of grifting if they’re in the business of doing whatever has to be done to have foreign viewers and the rest of it, that’s not. That’s not worth platforming promoting. I mean, why not? Why not debate the Grand Kugel or Cagle or whatever they call them? The clan. Why not go through all the senior membership there? How about the neo-Nazis? They do exist and we debate them, too. But just because somebody dressed up in a suit or somebody wears a nice dress and has a nice hairdo in a facelift or whatever, and talks like the Klan and the neo-Nazis. Doesn’t mean we give them legitimacy. Everything is at stake right now. We have a president who’s doing exactly what we want him to do, and they’re telling us he’s doing exactly what we voted against. That’s not true. Trump is a great president. He is a great president. He is historic. Historic. And he deserves our support while he’s alive as president of the United States, not posthumously after he has served and passed away now. Right now you are living through history. A fantastic part of history. Well, we might be able to save ourselves from the Marxists, the Islamists and the neofascist. We might not. But we have a fighting chance. But when people are microphones and TV cameras and they sit there. And don’t push back, or at least don’t present a positive argument in case. Then I don’t know why they’re there. I don’t. I really don’t. Some things are black and white. Some things are right and wrong. Some things are good and evil. Buckley wrote his book, Got a Man at Yale. It was the number one really conservative book for a generation. I wrote this book, Liberty and Tyranny is the number one book of our generation. It’s the number one conservative book of our generation was the number one book when it came out. I remember sending it to my father. I didn’t hear from him for a week. And he called me, said I finished your book. I said, Oh. This is one of the greatest books I’ve ever written, he said. And then he said, It’s one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. That’s my father. I said, You’re my father said, I’m telling you the truth. I sent it to Rush. Rush said, This book is spectacular. You’re going to sell a million or more copies. That’s almost 20 years ago. It’s almost 20 years ago. So I should surrender all that. You should surrender all this. Everything we fought for together. Everything we’ve discussed over the decades. For who? For what? For people who cheer for the enemy, for people who put down Jews and Christians. For people who literally rewrite World War Two. Our greatest generation. And claim effectively that we were fighting on the wrong side. Are you serious about this? This is a big deal. For people who have gutter mouths. Because they want the aggregator sites like media type to run with their headlines. Childish, buffoonish behavior. I promise you. These personal attacks do not get to me. I respond to them to expose the person, to make them. I could go in the gutter. I could talk about somebody’s body parts. And by the way, as a footnote, if a guy talks about a woman’s body parts, they’re done. If a woman talks about a guy’s body parts while they’re really done, they’re not officially done, but they’ve destroyed themselves. Why? Because it’s lewd. It’s stupid. And you embarrassed yourself. And you have to live with that scarlet letter the rest of your life. When you write things on the Internet, they don’t go away. When you say things on podcasts, on radio or TV, you can’t take them back. It is what it is. And these people will now have a legacy with their children and grandchildren. And they will cringe. They will cringe. But more pertinent to us. We’re not part of this. We don’t embrace this. Christians love Jews, Jews love Christians. We love all kinds of people who are not Jewish and Christian. Live and let live as long as you don’t try and destroy our country. Don’t try and cause us harm, so be it. So be it. I did a podcast today. I did a lot of thinking about this podcast today. I hope you’ll check it out. On Liberty’s voice, on Rumble and on YouTube. I would encourage you. Strongly trying to persuade you to check it out. It’s a totally different format. It’s handled in a totally different way. Which is actually a good thing because there’s different ways to communicate. A book, a TV show, a radio program, and a video podcast. There are entities today, and I’m not going to tell you who they are because I promised I wouldn’t. They’re trying to pressure me to step step down. I don’t mean from my jobs, but from standing up to these people. I’m not going to step down. I’m not going to do it. I will conduct myself. In a way that I can live with and my family can live with and you can live with. But now is not the time for the faint of heart. Now is not the time for the people with the hot air who in the end stand for nothing. We have an enemy in our midst. We have several enemies in our midst. With cancer growing within what people say is our movement. This is not a cancer of our movement. This is a cancer like an alien bacteria that has come into our movement and is trying to destroy it and redefine it. We must not allow that. And we will destroy ourselves. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Now. Something utterly unexpected happened last night. I don’t remember. It was 1030. 1040, 11:00, whatever. I got a text from my buddy Sean HANNITY, and all it said was, Wow. So I call him. So what are you talking about? Did you see what the president posted about you? I said I did not. So he sent it to me. Now we’ll get into this next hour because this is all very, very important, very important about the survivability of the conservative movement, MAGA. You know, convention of states, the whole kit and caboodle. And writ large the survivability of this country from enemies foreign and domestic. And these people have microphones and cameras if they really care about the country. Then let them show it. Don’t make excuses. Don’t be a coward. You can do it in your own way with your own character and personality. That’s perfectly fine. We’re all different. But don’t sit there and lament what’s going on. I lament what’s going on, but then I’m. Taking the next step, which is much harder. Much harder. But for me, it’s both cerebral and instinctive. I mean, think about your life. It’s a limited time on earth. Don’t you want it to be meaningful and you want it to stand for that? Of course you do. In your own role, your own life with your family, your church or synagogue, whatever. But this is what I do. This is what I do. This is what I’ve trained myself to do. This is how I’ve educated myself. And so it’s very, very important. That we don’t turn back one day and say, What the hell happened? And somebody look at me and say, I don’t know. What the hell did you do about it? I don’t ever want to hear that. Very important next hour, very important video podcast on Liberty’s Voice, please check out Rumble. They’re doing a great job or YouTube. I’ll be right back.
