On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, after 47 years, the Iranian regime does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Even after its top and second-tier leadership has been wiped out and its military pounded, the regime refuses any deal and says no deal rather than surrender. Democrats and figures like Tony Blinken, Jen Psaki, Christopher Wray, Lloyd Austin, and Chris Murphy repeatedly warned that Iran would soon get nuclear weapons yet now undermine the current president who is acting. Even more disgusting are the Woke Reich—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Joe Kent and others—who are traitors for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, spreading conspiracy theories, American hatred, and Jew hatred. This anti-war drumbeat aims to dispirit and disunite Americans during a righteous, noble campaign. Also, a new analysis of social media activity during the opening days of Operation Epic Fury reveals that much of the online backlash and anti-Israel content was not driven by Americans. 60% of the most viral posts on X mentioning Iran originated from accounts based outside the United States, despite often presenting themselves as American voices using U.S. political language and debates. These foreign influence campaigns, including from Iran, amplify anti-Israel messaging while disguising it as domestic U.S. opinion, exploiting podcast algorithms and overseas engagement for financial gain among the Woke Reich. Later, Lee Smith calls in to discuss his new book – The China Matrix: The Epic Story of How Donald Trump Shattered a Deadly Pact.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. I love these poll questions, Mr. Producer. I have a poll question that no media outlets going to ask. None. Would you prefer that the Iranian regime launches nuclear missiles at our country or paying what? $0.50 more a gallon for gallon for gasoline? Do you like that question, Mr. Producer? I wonder what the answer would be. I’m going to write that. And a gallon for gasoline, because that’s kind of the choice that we have, America. Unless we want to wait around and give the benefit of the doubt to the enemy, does it sound like the enemy deserves a benefit of the doubt after 47 years? Does it after today, if there has been pounded out of them, their top echelon has been wiped out, their second top echelon has been wiped out. But their entrails of this regime says rather than no mass, they say no deal. There’s a difference, I would argue, between defeating a regime’s military and defeating. The regime. And in this case. That regime in Iran. It’s like an alien. It’s like an alien. You could take parts of it out. But they keep growing back. So the whole regime has to be destroyed. I understand we’re trying to negotiate with them, but there’s negotiating and there’s negotiating. The 15 points as I read them in the press as best as I can figure them out. That were laid down for this Iranian Nazi regime. Would basically be. Unconditional surrender. Surrender of everything. Their economy. Their weapons. Their government. Unconditional surrender. And as I read in the paper, the deal was that we would stop bombing the hell out of you for a month while we negotiate this, while they rejected it, and then they put out their conditions. And I’ll get into more of this a little later. But just to show you. What scum balls the Democrats are. Even when it comes to matters of life and death. War and peace. What complete power hungry scum balls the Democrat Party. Is led by. I want you to listen to this. Through the years, the Democrats saying Iran will get nukes. You’re going to hear Tony Blinken remember that jackass in 2021? The secretary of state. You’re going to hear Jen Psaki. Remember that one, 2022. You’re going to hear FBI Director Christopher Wray 2023. You’re going to hear the defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, 2024. You’re going to hear this, this pig. Chris Murphy 2025. Listen to this montage. Hat tip Maze. More on X, whoever it is does a hell of a job. Cut five. Go! Iran’s nuclear program is galloping forward. It is enriching at at higher levels, 20%, even 60%. In some cases, it’s using more advanced centrifuges. We’re now down based on published reports to a few months. If this continues, if they continue to enrich at the levels and in the ways they’re doing, it will get down eventually to a few weeks. So that is a concrete problem. We have an interest in putting that nuclear problem back in the box because an Iran with a nuclear weapon or with the ability to produce fissile material on very short notice to get one is an Iran that’s going to be an even worse actor. Iran has rapidly accelerated its nuclear programme and reduced cooperation with international inspectors. Their breakout period is down from about a year, which is what we knew it was during the deal to just a few weeks or less. Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, has directly or by hiring criminals, mounted assassination attempts against dissidents and high ranking current and former U.S. officials, including right here on American soil. The president will not tolerate attacks on American troops, and neither will I. Our teammates were killed by radical militias backed by Iran and operating inside Syria and Iraq. Yes, it is true Iran is closer to a nuclear weapon than ever before. If they chose to get a nuclear weapon, could probably get one within weeks. Hmm. Wow. So what changed? The president. A different president who is actually doing something about. I find these people so shameless, so disgusting. Running around. It’s not imminent. Undermining the commander in chief, undermining our armed forces. But you know what I find more disgusting than them Joking. Joe. You know what I find more disgusting than them? Tucker Carlson. You know what I find more disgusting than them? Megan Kelly. Steve Bannon. That fat slob, Alex Jones, by the way, has he paid? As he paid off the families in Connecticut. Yet Mr. Brady said, We know that. You mean he doesn’t have billions of dollars to pay them off? What a fat slob. What a what a moron. Complete, complete joke. That guy hasn’t missed too many meals either. Yeah. Now here are the Democrats and the media. Don’t believe Trump believe the Iranians. Say what don’t believe, Trump says, actually, Alisyn, to CNN, John Brennan. Chris Van Hollen, that guy. Is why you have to scrape off the bottom of your sneakers and then throw it in the washing machine. Sara Haines So The view. Who’s that? Who the hell knows? All left wing kooks. Cut sex. Go. The leaders of the Iranian regime, they lie. I think the problem is we don’t know if our president is also telling the truth. I tend to believe Iran more than I do. That’s true because he could not acknowledge the truth even when it is he slapped in the face with it repeatedly. We’ve learned that Donald Trump has been lying to the American people from the start, and he keeps saying, this is this guy, Chris Van Hollen. This is this guy. People don’t focus on this guy enough. What an absolute agitprop this guy is from a one party state, Maryland. He is poison. Absolute poison. Go ahead. So you believe the Iranian officials over the president of the United States? I believe that based on all the information that here we have a regime that has slaughtered tens of thousands of its own people. Here we have a regime that has violated every aspect of the Obama deal. Here we have a regime. That can never tell the truth, that lies like a rug that funds terrorists. That is a terror regime that has killed over a thousand American civilians and soldiers, maimed thousands and thousands more. And this guy just blissfully says. Yes, I, I believe the regime of President Trump. Chris Van Hollen. Go ahead. I’m Donald Trump’s track record of lying, and I don’t trust the feedback of President Trump. I really don’t trust Iran either. Oh, wow. Aren’t you something? I use something. If these people in the House of Representatives and or the Senate, we are in deep trouble. And I want you to listen very carefully to me. We have traitors among us again. We’ve traders among us. I’ve been calling these people traders for months. Now other people are as well. And they should. And they must. Traitor, Tucker. He’s a traitor. Traitor, Kelly. She’s a traitor. Traitor Bannon. He is a traitor. And there’s many, many more. And yes, they’re giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Nothing to do with Israel has to do with the United States. What’s going to happen to this country politically? We have the woke, right? Ah, I see. H these neo fascist isolationists, they are more comfortable talking to the enemy. Phil, what Conspiracy theories filled with American hatred. Jew hatred. They’re consumed by it. Consumed by. Alex Jones. He’s another one. And yes, General Mike Flynn, a man I defended for years, a man I met once or twice. I don’t know what happened to him, but I don’t care. I don’t care. They are what they are, and they’re no damn good. That’s what they are. 58% of the American people. This Fox poller, 56%, don’t support the war. And I’m thinking to myself, here we have this regime that has slaughtered Americans, funded terrorism, tried to assassinate our president. That the Democrats used to say are going to have a break out in two weeks of a nuclear weapon. And 56 58% of the people. Say this they don’t support the war because maybe they’re paying a few more shekels for a gallon of gasoline. I’m telling you, folks. We have a significant percentage of the population. That doesn’t know history. That doesn’t remember 911 because many of them weren’t even born, let alone Pearl Harbor, let alone the Holocaust. And they get their news. From these braindead, mentally deranged frauds. That’s all they know. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Hoenig is a great guy. He is the founder, the CEO of the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce. He wrote a great piece in the Jerusalem Post. I have a link to it. I encourage you to read it. And if we have some time this evening, I’ll read part of it. Caroline Levitt at the White House briefing today. This guy, Joe Kent, is a fraud. And I would tell you, son. Those of you who’ve stuck with me, you understand how I work. Nobody wanted to talk about Tucker Carlson, ten, ten, 11, 12 months ago. People would whispered to me they were upset about him. They didn’t know what to do about it. And what do we do? What we did. So why are you worried? Why can’t people talk about him? And so I only talked about him. I exposed him. And then others joined in, and that was a good thing. And look what we have left. Ladies and gentlemen, a guy that trashes American law and the Constitution and embraces Sharia law. Look what we have here. A guy that says communist China is on the ascendancy. We are not. We need to share power with them. So, in other words, we should surrender our superpower status to our number one enemy. He’s a guy that interviews an individual with ties to the Communist Party in China. He’s a guy that interviews Islamists, Islamists who hate our culture and hate you and me. Mr. and Mrs. America. He cozies up. To Putin, where Putin’s even embarrassed and Putin says, Well, I was a pretty easy interview. Putin has missiles aimed at us. There’s no question that they have nuclear weapons. Every horrendous regime in the Middle East. This guy has defended and embraced, including Iran. He lobbies the president on behalf of the Iranian regime. That’s what he did. He defends Qatar, spending tens of billions of dollars in our country for the Muslim Brotherhood, for Hamas to destroy our colleges and universities from the best on down. He embraces Saudi Arabia. That was behind 911. When’s the last time he actually embraced America? When’s the last time he talked about the Save America Act? When’s the last time he talked about the TSA and the Democrats? Exactly. He’s a grifter of the worst kind. This entire industry is being destroyed. That is, the podcast industry is being destroyed. Good people are trying to save it. You’ve got good people coming in. You’ve got Bongino, you’ve got SHAPIRO. They’ve got Hammer you’ve got. Ferguson. You got a whole a whole bunch of them. You got me trying to deal with this now. Trying to save this platform. So the poison so the cancer doesn’t keep metastasizing. These are very evil people. They are saboteurs. They will say anything they want the biggest audience possible. Not in the United States, overseas. Why do you think it cozy up to the communist Chinese, Mr. Producer? Look, a lot of people there, aren’t there? Why do he cozy up to the Islamist regimes in the Middle East? A lot of money there, isn’t there, folks? Why do you throw Christians over the over the roof? Why do you throw Jews over the roof? Why do you throw our founding over the roof and embrace Sharia law? There’s a lot of Muslims overseas, especially Islamists, who love to watch these guys, Americans. Smear, libel their own country, smear libel, their own president, undermine our armed forces in the middle of a war. On top of that, we have a Democrat Party. They will do anything for power. They’ll say one thing two weeks ago, another thing today. That is what we are facing. And then we have a guy like Joe Ken. The worst of the worst. Who uses his position? He says he doesn’t leak, but he uses his position the way he did in hopes of truly undermining the commander in chief.
Segment 3
Then you get these talk show hosts and podcasters who aren’t outwardly saboteurs, of course, but they’re chameleons. The Chameleons. They want to see which way conservatives are kind of moving or MAG is kind of moving. How long was it, ladies and gentlemen? We were. Calling in the loudest way possible, whether on Fox on my radio program. That we needed to come to the aid of the Persian people. And I still strongly believe this. There can be no deal. That doesn’t doesn’t. Include protecting and liberating these people. In my humble opinion. Again, there was silence for the most part. Other than a handful of patriots, but silence. Now I see one in particular is particularly annoying to me. But I won’t mention them. For a number of reasons. It’s not that he has an impure heart. That is a grifter. Or that he is in bed with the enemy. Like traitor Tucker. I can’t even call them Qatar son anymore. Qatar can’t stand the guy. He’s such a jackass. So at the call him traitor Tucker, which is what I’ve been calling him now. But one of them in particular, such a such a milquetoast vanilla. But then when he thinks he sees where you’re going, he tries to jump in the front of the parade. That’s useless. It’s you. What do you weasel? It’s just crazy. Now he’s out there. Praising the Persian people. Yeah. Okay. But the more, the merrier. That would be good. That would be good because they’re getting lost in all this, shockingly. Now, as for this guy, Joe Kent, the latest in a long line of betrayers. That’s right. I said it. He’s betrayed his country. He’s betrayed the president. He’s betrayed the military. He betrayed the truth. He betrayed his colleagues. You want to resign? Resign? But don’t be a drama queen about it. And go on some of the worst media platforms imaginable. And not just with the woke Reich neo fascist isolationists. But. But this guy Cinque, whatever the hell his name is. If he’s naturalized, they should be naturalized and kick his double fat ass out of the country. But here’s Caroline Levitt. Asked about Joe Kent. Today at a press conference. Cut seven. Go. I was wondering if you would respond to some of the stories that. The administration from past allies like Japan, who have said that the president’s red line shifted from Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon, is on my show. So of course, the reporter can’t possibly say that. That the red line shifted, the red line never shifted. Joe Kent shifted. Go ahead. Pursue nuclear enrichment. What is the administration’s response to that criticism? I think the president and I have both strongly responded to the criticism by Mr. Kent, who unfortunately resigned in disgrace and accused the president of basically being controlled by foreign countries and foreign manipulation, which is a ridiculous and laughable assertion. So his accusations have zero credibility as far as this White House is concerned. The question of the red line shifting from no nuclear weapon to no nuclear enrichment does Is there any substance to that argument? I think the president has been quite clear on what he wants to see from the Iranian regime, which is why he chose to launch Operation Epic Fury in the first place. No nuclear weapon versus no nuclear enrichment. Now, first of all, how stupid is that? It’s the same red line. Folks, let me ask you a question. Whatever your walk of life doesn’t matter. If a terrorist regime now wants to build a nuclear weapon is enriching. Is enriching Pfizer material to use in a nuclear weapon. Is there really a difference, Mr. Putin’s. What are we supposed to do, wait around and all of a sudden there’s a breakout? It’s impossible to know exactly when they’re going to have a nuclear weapon. And yet these Democrats over the years have said that it’s weeks, it’s weeks, it’s weeks. Now all of a sudden, it’s not imminent. It’s not a problem. What’s the problem now? As we bomb the hell out of these places, we’re finding that they have all kinds of enrichment, all kinds of nuclear sites. It’s all going on. It’s it’s a rather vibrant operation. And they still pretend that they don’t understand why we’re doing what we’re doing. They still pretend they don’t understand why. I want to make another point. You see how says these polls. I think the Fox poll, 56, 58% of the American people oppose this military operation. Because of the propaganda that’s poured into this country from the enemy through these podcasters and others, because of the drumbeat of the press distorting what we’re doing, they’ve almost turn Iran into the victim the way they did Hamas. Well, now you know what the Israelis were up against when they were fighting Hamas. The same echo chamber. The same propaganda funded by the enemy. The same media, the same podcasters. The same Democrats. It’s not an accident. It’s intentional. The goal is to dispirit. We the people did this unite we the people in the middle of what is a spectacular military operation. More people were murdered last weekend in our country than have died. Mostly accidentally, some of them in this war. Obviously, once too many. But I’m giving it some context. These same people aren’t talking about how awful it is that people died in our country. Almost all in Democrat cities. Like in Chicago. Like in Chicago. That horrible murder. Of a citizen from Mr. Producer’s community. Horrible. Here’s Caroline Leavitt at that press conference again. Cat nine go. The president yesterday said that he had achieved regime change. In Iran because the regime has changed in terms of, you know, ladies and gentlemen, I don’t even want to play this anymore. The press is so maniacal. Why do we need a press if they’re going to be the Democrats? What do we need the Democrats, if they’re going to be the press? They don’t have to wear sandwich boards to say where the Democrat press, where the fake media, or at least the Democrats should wear sandwich boards saying, we control the media, they speak for us. It’s the same damn thing day in and day out. Nothing about America. Nothing about how fantastic our troops are doing. Nothing about anything like that. No questions along those lines. And of course, they quote Joe Kent. Why? He’s an outlier. But emphasis on the word liar. But he’s out. He’s an outlier. At least that’s my opinion based on what I can I can cobble together. You know, it’s one thing when you have a growing anti-war movement. Because the troops are getting ground up, even if you’re winning. The casualties are horrendous. There’s an extended period of time. I wonder what we’ve become as a nation in some respects. Beyond MCG, of course, because 92% of MAGA supports what the president is doing and this war. That just shows me how smart you are. So much smarter than the average individual. But I have to ask you, America, and I’ve asked you this before, but let’s do it. We don’t have a draft. We have had drafts in the past, major drafts. And there were some people who ran to Canada. But the vast majority of people who were drafted, even if they didn’t want to go, I mean, who wants to go? They went to war in Vietnam. They went to war in Korea. Far away. Vietnam didn’t have nuclear missiles aimed at us. Or the threat of nuclear missiles of any kind. To put it more accurately. Neither did Korea. North Korea. But we were fighting this expansion of communism. The American people understood it. The Vietnam War was about ten years long. Korea about four. I think we’re moving into week four, are we not, Mr. Producer here? Something like that. With the Iranian regime’s military infrastructure has been all but eliminated. Obviously, there’s some mopping up. But all but eliminated. The Strait of Hormuz. We’ll be cleared out. It’ll be cleared out in a period of weeks. Our casualties in context. Are much less than some expected. The stress. Again, any casualty is horrendous except apparently when the Iranians. Unleash. Their IEDs on our soldiers when we have mass casualties, apparently that’s supposed to be ignored. As they’re trying to wipe out. The regime, or at least the military part of the regime that’s responsible for the incoherence of these people is unbelievable. But let’s say, ladies and gentlemen. China attacks Taiwan. What do you think these woke Reich? Neofascist isolationists are going to say, what do you think? The Democrat Party officialdom is going to say, what do you think the Marxists and the Islamists are going to say? It’s none of our business. There’s nothing we can do about it. The communist Chinese are watching the the massive mighty the American military. But they’re also watching the success that they and their Islamist comrades have had in weakening the psyche of the American people. Not you. But the psyche generally of the American people. They’re witnessing that, too. Which is why they’re involved and they spend so much money and our enemies spend so much, much money influencing us through the podcasters, through the faculty’s. Other media that go and visit China, the Bloomberg folks as an example. POLITICO that was on the government payroll for a period of time. Axios that hires one of the most radical reprobates in the so-called media who used to work for Haaretz, now works for them. This has an impact. Do you think? Other than the incredible heroes in the current young generation that have volunteered to fight. Do you think if we had a draft today? That most would. Would agree and embrace the fact that their number came up. I’m not I’m not sure. In fact, I have my doubts. Again, I’m distinguishing that from the brave men and women who’ve already stepped up and would step up. But I’m talking about a whole nother. So the grouping. Of this generation. I seriously have my doubts. And the Democrat Party can even unite during a time of war, A righteous war, a noble war with spectacular. Battlefield results. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Do you know much about Benedict Arnold? America? He was a traitor. We know that. But what do you know about Benedict Arnold? It’s the 250th anniversary. He was crucial in the Revolutionary War. First on the good side, then on the bad side. What do you know about Benedict Arnold? I discuss it at length on today’s Liberty’s Voice video podcast on Rumble and YouTube. I hope you’ll check it out. A lot of people are enjoying it. They also link it to modern day Benedict Arnold’s. But first, I wanted to lay out the history of this man because I believe it’s important that we know history. One of my guys said to me today, this has to be the like the smartest podcast. People don’t know these things and you’re out there because this is what I do, America. And Benedict Arnold is somebody you really should know about. Very, very important. History is everything. It provides context. It provides experience. It enables you to make prudential, knowledgeable decisions. That’s why Marxists don’t believe in history. That’s why neo fascists twist history. That’s why Islamists believe only their history matters. But our history matters a lot more. So check us out of Liberty’s voice. It’s the last podcast of the week for me. I only do three Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. But there are three very important programs I believe Ramble. It’s free. YouTube. It’s free. Enjoy. Enjoy it. It’s not work. Enjoy it. Maybe you’re eating dinner, maybe you’re washing the dishes. Maybe had taken a drive, maybe whatever. If you’re taking a run tomorrow, check it out. There’s nothing like it. That’s what I’m told. There’s nothing like it. And that’s the goal, right? That’s the goal. We’ve got some real breaking stuff that I think are going to cause your jaws to hit the floor next hour. And I want to get into that as well. So we’ll take a short break. Get a drink of water. You know, do a few push ups. Yeah, right. Have a piece of cake. Now, that’s a good idea. But we’ll be right back.
