On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, there is no divide among MAGA supporters. President Trump has our unanimous support. But there are a small group of malcontent podcasters who appeal mainly to leftists who are trashing the country, Trump and the military while placing acolytes in the administration to undermine both Trump and U.S. military. Joe Kent is an alleged leaker and is wrong on Iran. He hasn’t even been included in briefings for months due to suspected incessant leaking to the White House’s concern. How can such a person hold his position of the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center if trusted officials fear he will leak sensitive information. Also, in breaking news, according to Semafor the FBI is investigating Kent for allegedly improperly sharing classified information as part of a leak probe that began months before his resignation. It now looks like he resigned to control the narrative, not because of the Iran war. Later, the ongoing military campaign has destroyed Iran’s capacity to produce more ballistic missiles and is now targeting remaining launchers while hunting hidden nuclear material sites. After 47 years of Iran killing Americans directly and indirectly, allowing them to acquire a nuclear weapon would leave few options.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Well, well, well. Lots going on. Lots to discuss. The media keeps saying that MAGA. You make America great again. You, Mr. and Mrs. America. Red blooded, patriotic Americans living nights that there’s a big divide among us. There’s no divide among us. Zero. We support the president. We support with the president’s doing. There’s a relative handful of. Malcontents and miscreants and reprobates. His audience consists mostly of Pakistanis and and others, leftists and Democrats who love to hear them trash our country, love to hear them trash our president, Love to hear them trash our military. And they have placed in strategic places in the administration some of their acolytes. And what are those acolytes doing there? Undermining the president of the United States in the United States military? By the way, we I posted. I know these guys hang on the Internet day in and day out. I posted a message inviting Mr. Kent Joe Kent to come on the radio show for an hour. So I get interview him. I don’t know how to reach him. He said, Sure, let’s go. Mr. Producer, can you open the microphone a moment? Have you reached out and attempted to contact this? This is correct. They deemed him on X, so you deemed him on X and so forth. And I began a response. Nothing yet. No response. Well, we will wait, but I’d love to interview him. I’ve got a lot of questions. About things he has said, the things he has done, associations he has. Now whether he’s leaked, who is leaked to. Is he leaked to? CARLSON Is he leaked to others and. It’s what the White House is saying. He’s a known leaker. All kinds of questions I have for the man. Many, many questions. This idea also that Israel dragged us into this war. Ladies and gentlemen, Israel’s a nation of 9 billion people. It’s a country the size of New Jersey. We are a massive superpower with resources. A military hold on, folks with resources and a military nobody else. Nobody else. Can possibly have now there are going to be little breaks. And would he be taking a little early? I be a brother who’s having a procedure and it’s very serious one and I’m quite serious about it. So that was one ring. So I’ll take a little break. Just not yet. But nonetheless I will continue Israel in drag us and any president says it didn’t and 47 years for 47 years we came under attack. You never said that joke in 47 years. Finally, a president has done something. Dragging us into a war. They try to assassinate our president. And they’re dragging us into a war. It’s time. It’s time to blow off. These Klansmen, these neo-Nazis, these neo fascist. Who are slick. Who want to want you to believe they camouflage these, these, these. Really poisonous statements in. First America, first jargon and so much ridiculous. It’s preposterous. It’s false. Now. Here is John Ratcliffe at a hearing today. Any specifically asked by Senator Cornyn what would have happened. If we didn’t take action. Imminently against Iran. This is the head of the CIA. Cut forgo. If left unimpeded. Yes, Senator. They would have the ability to range missiles to the continental U.S.. It’s one of the reasons why degrading Iran’s missile production capabilities that is taking place right now in the operation Epic Fury is so important to our national security. Okay, sir, Kent is wrong, and Kent was not in on the briefings for the last several months. Why is that? I want to ask them all about this. Why is it? How can you have a deputy director of national Intelligence? Who the White House says has been leaking incessantly. And he can’t be in certain briefings because they’re afraid he’s going to leak. I think those are fair questions, don’t you, Mr. Producer? How can you say one thing? Three months ago. One year ago? Two years ago. And it completely opposite thing today. What conditions change? No, no, no. We’re not talking about conditions changing. And I want to know. Are you a leaker? To whom of you leaked? What? Reporters? I want to confirm that he was the leaker in my. Case with the president, the United States. We’ve got a lot of questions I want on the record. On the record. John Ratcliffe again with Senator John Cornyn. Cut 12. Go. The head of the National Counterterrorism Center resigned. That’s saying that Iran did not represent an imminent threat to the United States. Is there any anything to indicate that Iran had ceased in its nuclear ambitions for in its desire to continue to build ballistic missiles capable of threatening American troops and allies in the Middle East? Senator, No. In fact, the intelligence reflects the contrary. So you disagree with Mr. Kim? I do. I would think any fair minded assessment of the situation, even based on open sources, would reflect the danger Iran poses the regime poses to the United States. So Mr. Kent disagrees with the CIA director that Secretary of defense, secretary of state, president of the United States. So what information? There’s a guy who’s cut out of intelligence briefings because he has accused of being a leaker. What information does he have that the commander in chief doesn’t have? What did he base it on? That there’s not an imminent threat. You just heard what Radcliffe said. It’s a very honorable man. I don’t believe he ever leaks. So what information do you have? We want some facts. We want some evidence to back up. What Joe Cain has said. President. The United States says, no, I wasn’t dragged into the war. The United States wasn’t dragged into the war. We set the timing. In fact, the opposite could be said that we dragged Israel into it. What evidence does Mr. Cain have? To disprove this. He’s got none. But I want to give him an opportunity to present it. I want to go through his letter. I want to go through his contradictions. I want to go through whether he’s a leaker. I want to know who he leaked to. I want to know if he leaked. Was it that Tucker Carlson? What about his association with Nick Pontius? Is that okay? Is that normal? Is that MAGA? Now, Tucker Carlson knows about this because Tucker Carlson interviewed him and saw what this made these comments in October when he interviewed him. Listen to this. Cut 15, go like take your hand, for instance. I supported Joe Count and I talked to Joe and I got introduced to him by Matt Brainard. Now, Brainard went to my conference in 2021. He bought a table. His campaign manager, he was ah, he was a consultant, but he was. He worked on the campaign. Yeah. So he was on the joke. Can’t campaign. Is that what I understand, Mr. Producer? Go ahead, Loni. Love my conference. And February 21, which she bought a table at for his organization Look at America. And in 2021 we and by we I mean my nonprofit and myself and my team. We wanted to support America first candidates in the midterms, like you said, authentic opponents of you. Yeah, that’s how I found Joe. Ken. Yes. And so I learned that my father or should I say antisemites of a feather. Go ahead. Bull. In that sort of scene like Ryan or Dusky I know was very supportive of Joe Cannon and other people that are more private I don’t want to name, but they put me on a name, all the Nazis and all the Stalinists, you know, But they’re all back. And Joe, you hear this, folks. The question is, how the hell did he get the job? That’s the other. I got a lot of questions for Joe. Ken. Who promoted him, who was lobbying for him. Go ahead. In Georgia, Gibbs and Michigan. A lot of different people. And Joe, Ken was one of them. And I had a phone call with Joe camped. And I told him I had my assistant on the phone, too, who is Jewish, by the way. Just because I want you to know, aren’t you liberal? Go ahead. But. So I’m on the phone with Joe, and I said, look, we support you and we want to do everything we can to help you. We want to have my followers knock on doors for you. We want to boost your social media, anything that you need, we want to help you, I said, And we don’t even want to be publicly associated. I said, because we know that that might hurt you. I said, The only thing that we ask in return is you can’t disavow me. If the media asks and you can say whatever you need to say, but you can’t disavow. Oh. Interesting background. This guy has he voted for Bernie Sanders, I think in 2000 or some point was a libertarian, was a Democrat than a Republican. He ran twice for the House. In a Republican district and he lost. One of the Republicans who ran against him in the primaries said, I warned you about this guy. There’s a whole thing here that I think we need to learn about, know about, and it’s not going to happen. With a woke right neofascist podcasters. Because you know why, Ladies and gentlemen, they’re trying to destroy Donald Trump right now. They’re trying to destroy MAGA. They’re undermining our military. They want us to lose. They literally want us to lose, just like the Democrats, just like the Marxists and the Islamists. Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, the rest of these A-hole names, I can’t remember them all. They’re rooting against us. And they they weave and they bob know where America first. No, we just don’t take these forever wars. They’re rooting against us. The president knows it, too. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
It’s a lot here that doesn’t add up to a complete 180 literally in a period of months. White House says these are a serial leaker. The timing of his letter. Was he going to be fired? But he decided to bail. I mean, this guy in many respects, remember that guy puts out a letter, very self-serving, very self-righteous, and he’s treated as some kind of conquering hero. I want to know if the number two person. In national intelligence is a leaker. I want to know. I want to know if he’s a leaker, who he leaked to, What he leaked. It’s not that hard to find out that DOJ can find out just by looking at the phone records. But I’d like to know. Now I want to straighten some of these things out. The very confusing. Not really, but you get my point. It’s not a debate. It’s an interview. I want to have an interview. The war with Iran. Talk is very black and white and a grey world. Iran has been at war with us since 1979. Joe Kent. Joe Kent. So we have the CIA director who says, yes, it was imminent. Yes. They were building missiles that could hit the United States of America. You have our top negotiators who met with the enemy said the same thing, that they weren’t going to surrender their nuclear material, £22,000 of it, and that they were told right there at the table. Directly from the. The Iranian regime. Nazis. Hey. Hey, guess what? In ten days, we can have 11 nuclear bombs. That’s not imminent. So I need to understand the definition of imminent. What’s imminent mean and keeping up. It’s not imminent tonight. And who gets to decide? The president. He decides. He decides. And the guy wasn’t even read into the intelligence, apparently, because they didn’t trust him. Here is a. Here’s Caroline Levitt today at see here Cat Tango. I think that anyone who has been a suspected of leaking or is proven to be a leaker will not be welcome in this administration. I know that for a fact, because I’ve heard the president say it myself. There are investigations underway into leakers in this administration, and people will be held accountable for that. It’s unacceptable and it cannot be tolerated. Okay, great. So let’s get. Individuals who are said to be leakers on the record. Now, right now, if they’re going to go on podcasts, they can go on one of the biggest conservative talk radio shows in the world. This is what these. These these phony casters don’t get. They’ve got their audiences. But a tremendous amount of their audience doesn’t even consist of Americans. They don’t know who’s watching. They do know that their platforms are pushing out their programs internationally. Because they make money, whether it’s terrorists in Pakistan watching. Our Marines. Or Marines. In the United States watching. There’s no way to distinguish that in terms of the algorithms. In terms of the algorithms. Carolyn Levitt said more. We’re running out of time this segment. I want to play that, too. And as for this crap. That these self-serving narcissists keep pushing that Trump is not maga MAGA is divided. I got a little surprise. They know this. But many of you who actually work for a living and you can’t keep track of all this B.S. and static. You’re all for Trump and you’re all for this war. Almost all of you. Almost all of you. Over 90% are 100%. 100% A MAGA supports Trump. 0% support the position. The position of the woke right neo fascist zero. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Look, I’m just very logical. President of United States looks at all the information. He’s the man we voted for. He’s the man who ran for office. He’s the man that we support. And he concludes it’s an imminent threat. Joe Kent thinks otherwise. I don’t know who this guy is. The more I look at it, the more I’m troubled by him. Obviously not his military record. He is a very remarkable military record. It’s not what we’re talking about. Talking about his record after the military. Whether it’s Tammy Duckworth or somebody else, you’re not immune from scrutiny because you served in the military and nobody scrutinizing his military record. I certainly am not, which I understand to be extraordinary and. Honorable. But if you’re leaking, if you’re undermining the commander in chief, what about the men and women in uniform now? Don’t they deserve better than that? Don’t they? What about dispiriting the men and women in uniform? If you’re out there saying this war was unnecessary, when they’re in the middle of a war, fighting a war and doing a spectacular job of it. And does that give aid and comfort to the enemy to hear that kind of stuff? We know. Tucker Carlson has done it. They’ve used his clips in Iran. They’ve used his clips in Iran. Why is Tucker Carlson now? Platforming and giving voice to every every person he can to find. Some legitimate, some as nutty as hell who are trashing the president. And the war effort and our military. And then he says, Well, you know. The president has turned his back on MAGA. Really? Well, before we go to Carolyn Levitt, I got to do this this guy scene and there’s Harry Eaton. We you know, we like this guy. I don’t know him. I don’t know. His power doesn’t matter. Listen to him today. Today, cut 14 go. You know, sometimes you look at the polling data and there are numbers that just jump off the screen. And this is one of those because just take a look here. MAGA GOP view of Trump approve 100% 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove. You don’t have to be a mathematical genius to know you can’t go higher than 100%. He is the 1972 Miami Dolphins 100%. You, Mr. and Mrs. America back Donald Trump. Ma’am. Marjorie Trader Gangrene is out there trying to undermine him. We’re Matt, no pants. Gates is trying to undermine him. Megan. Oh, Megan. I’ve got a million of them. They keep telling me, Don’t do it, Megan. One of these days I won’t be able to stop. But you know what you are. We all know what you are. She’s out there trying to undermine the president. Four went this little later. He’s out there trying to undermine the president. You know, Bannon, Bannon. I plead guilty to fraud. That guy, Mr. Bloated. He’s undermining them. Who are these people? Who are these people who are trying to destroy the Trump presidency and our best chance of saving the republic? They’re a bunch of self-serving, narcissistic, self-aggrandizing jackasses. That’s what they are. They don’t give a damn about you. They don’t give a damn about our soldiers in the field. You do. You do. So who are we to believe? The President of the United States? Who has access to all the information? And Mr. Kent is cut out of access to the information because apparently they don’t trust him. They don’t trust him. The number two guy. Ratcliffe, the head of the CIA, who openly, publicly under oath just contradicted him, who not only has read into the programs, he he’s collecting the information. Rubio. Our great Secretary of State Haig sent our great secretary of war. They all said it needed to be done now. I don’t know what JD said. One day he’ll have to explain himself, but it doesn’t matter. Well, now supposed to believe Joe can’t. Joe can’t. We’re supposed to believe. We only know who the hell he is. But now he’s on a pedestal. Because they can use him as a useful idiot. Tucker uses these people and then throws them away. He’s going to be on tour. I read he’s going to be on owns his program, Mr. Producer. Well, who was with who enters, right? We’ve established that for what? This established that when he was interviewed by Tucker. They had an open channel. They backed him for election. We won’t tell anybody. It may not help you, but just don’t disavow Alice. You know what that little punk reminds me of? Sort of the lollipop parade, you know, in The Wizard of Oz, those guys. Hanging over here. I hate that. You go. Hey, Hey, Everybody here? Hitler was great. Hey. Hey, Stanley. What’s great over here? I’m sick and tired of the way they tack white males. You foment this. You’re part Mexican. You know, I’m not. It’s Italian and. No, it’s Mexican. The guy’s absolutely stupid. But look, even stupid people need people to listen to, right? Well, there you go. 100%. And the meter out there is a great divide in manga. There’s no divide in manga. I’m with MAGA. I’m with Trump. I was with Reagan. They’re not. Let me ask you something. What is Steve Bannon ever done to support the conservative movement? Nothing. When Andrew Breitbart died, a friend of mine, he swooped in and grabbed control of Breitbart. He didn’t create it. He didn’t build it. He swallowed it. I think clearly, what has Tucker Carlson ever done for the country? The conservative movement. Some great litigation. Some. What has he done? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Zero. What does making Kelly done for the conservative movement? Make it uglier. Of course. But what has she done? Absolutely nothing for went this. This guy still wearing diapers. He’s still prepubescent walking around with that funeral uniform he has. Hey, everybody. I know. Shut up, you little squirt. Him. What has he ever done? Nothing. There are things you can do for the country that are great things. Serve in the military, be a cops over. But there are other things you can do too. They’ve done nothing. Zero. Zero. There are leaders. See this fool put out a video today. Guitar lesson. Going on now. We thought America First was this. And I went to the camp. A guy was hanging on Trump. He was following Trump around like a poodle on a leash. At the UFC stuff. At the RNC, they were treating him nicely, giving him opportunities. People didn’t vote for MAGA. Oh, there’s Tucker. All right. I’ve changed my mind. I’m voting for Trump. Excuse me. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? First of all, 70% of his audience can’t vote in the United States unless they come in here illegally and vote illegally, thanks to the Democrats. I mean, not less than me. Clearly, this is the third day in a row I’m going to make this point. If MAGA is 100% behind Trump, 92% by Trump and this war effort. And Qatar’s son has been trying to sabotage the war effort, sabotage the president’s effort. They deal with the Iranian regime. How is that MAGA? It’s not MAGA. He’s confused. He’s a maggot, not MAGA. The president when he posted this thing about me, which was really quite. Humbling. Seriously was really unbelievable. And by the way. Mr. Producer. I have a name for this woman, but I can’t use it. I really want to use it. You’ve advised me not to do it either, right? Yeah. They’re really deep into the sewer. Okay, I will. I will for now. For now. Stuff keeps coming over the transom about her, by the way. You wouldn’t believe it. Now I know why her head is where it is, by the way. I really do. It’s pretty, pretty pathetic. But we move on. Here’s Caroline Leavitt outside the White House today about Joe Kent. We do respect her, right? Yes. She’s a great press secretary, right? Yes. So you going to believe her or Joe Kent? Who exactly. Carl Levin, go president spoke on this a little bit yesterday in the Oval Office. He said he always thought Joe Kennedy was a good guy, obviously has a commendable military record and experience. However, he was not someone who was involved in the presidential daily brief part of the president’s intelligence briefings over the last several months. I have not seen him here at the White House for quite some time. And the president feels it’s deeply disappointing that after the president gave him an opportunity in this administration to serve the American people, that he would resign it with a letter filled with falsehoods, accusing the president of the United States by being in control. Stop right there. A letter full of falsehoods. And so Tucker is platforming him. And so Candace Owens is platforming him. So the left wing media are platforming him. So the Democrats are platforming him letter full of falsehood. And, by the way, full of vile Jew hatred. What’s with all these people? What is it with these people? What is it? Why don’t they just wear their Nazi uniforms? You know, you’re out of the closet and you put on your Nazi uniforms, grow your little mustaches, grow a little mustache. Megan, grow a little mustache. All of them. Just grow your mustache. Put on your brown shirts. Where are your black boots? But Chris. In your hair. Walk around, march around. Goose step and salute each other. Why not? You know, do the Full Monty. Stop playing around the Full Monty. Go ahead. Foreign country. That’s both insulting and laughable all at the same time. The president is the leader of the most powerful to what she’s saying. It’s demeaning to the president when you have somebody like Joe Kent and these other hangers on saying that President Trump is just being led around by the nose by the Jews in Israel. Now, ladies and gentlemen, why would that be? Why would that be? How can that be? Is that Donald Trump? This is what they want you to believe. How can that possibly be? It can’t. And it had to pull along the Pentagon and the secretary of state the hope it’s a lie, but they keep saying it. And they keep saying it while we have men and women in uniform who are fighting these bastards and defeating them. And then they say, look, like tonight the president’s at Dover, Delaware. For a dignified transfer ceremony. And it’s very sad and very upsetting. And it is for him. I happen to know that for a fact. But we have people who are trashing them when they’re alive, including people who have served. Who have served. Imagine being out on one of these ships are being a pilot. You’re 28 years old. And you keep hearing back home. That MAGA doesn’t support the war, that MAGA doesn’t support you. And then you hear that Joe can’t. A decorated veteran. This war was unnecessary. It was unnecessary. The Jews in Israel dragged us into it. And there you are fighting. Imagine hearing this stuff just like Tokyo Rose during World War Two. Except she was in Japan and they were pouring her broadcast. Sir, our troops overseas in Europe would hear this stuff and in Southeast Asia, and she’d go on and on about how the American people don’t back you, how they’re running out of this, how it’s going. In other words, to dispirit our troops. Well, what is a letter like this intended to do? But the spirit, our troops? What is it with these platforming of these other people? It’s intended to dispirit our troops. This unite the American people. These people are poison. Poison. So I want to understand it. I want to understand. What went on. We’re hearing from the White House. From various reports, different news agencies. That Joe Kent wasn’t trusted. That Joe can. Is an alleged leaker. So I want to pursue it. I’m not a prosecutor. Now, while it’s true, whatever I say can be used. Excuse me. Whatever he says in response to me, if they decide to conduct criminal or other types of investigations, that it could be problematic for him. But not if he’s innocent. So I’m sure he’s innocent. So what’s the problem, Rich? If you’re innocent, the Espionage Act doesn’t apply. So what’s the problem? Go ahead. But he tells him what to do. He makes decisions based on what’s in the best interest of this country. So there she is, having to defend the president from Joe Kent. There she is having to defend the president from these these woke. Right. Neo fascist. Has to defend the president from them. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
So the great thing about being a talk show host for almost a quarter of a century is, number one, it’s not like Capitol Hill where you get 5 minutes or 10 minutes. Number two, it’s better than a court of law. It’s better than a deposition because they don’t have all those rules to deal with either. And number three, I’m asking what I consider to be very pertinent questions. I’m even giving a heads up to Joe Kennedy, the kind of questions I’m going to ask. So he can prepare. He can sit down with his buddy Tucker and they can put their heads together and figure out how they’re going to do it. It’s not a gotcha, ladies and Joe. And I’m not doing gotcha. I know the media. Oh, you’re going to interview. So it’s going to get. No. Oh, it’s it’s a voluntary situation. And I want to ask some very pertinent questions based on all the public information that’s swirling around there. That’s all that simple. That simple. Now you’ll notice that the great podcasters, they’re not going to do any of it now. They’re very good podcasters, too. You know who I’m talking about? They’re not going to do any of it. They’re going to have a victory parade, you know, throw confetti in the studio, maybe drop a few F-bombs. You know, have a grand old time, maybe drink on the air. Hey, and drink on the air and smoke pot. That is really cool. Yeah, People want to see that. I’ll be right back.
