The Best Of Mark Levin - 4/11/26

It's all quiet in the underground bunker doors closed locks Bolted but the great one isn't just resting on his laurels He's making sure your weekend is even better by giving you his best. This is the best of Mark Levin Welcome to the program So I did the Sunday show I hope you all were able to watch it on Fox life, Liberty and Levin and the opening was a little different than people expected Was on breathright citizenship, which I had not had an opportunity to discuss again on Fox Even though I had two or three times earlier in my career there Because that decision will be coming down and when it comes down it's going to be a big deal and There was nothing else I could say about the Fantastic effort and successful effort by the administration by our military To retrieve the second pilot we'll get into that later But rather than just repeating all the news that was known and a lot wasn't known by then just certain amounts of information Got now. I just thought I Should go ahead and proceed And so I decided in preparing that monologue last night. I Wanted this to be in as plain of English as possible So even a Supreme Court justice could understand even a leftist could understand even the media can understand The absolute hoax that is birthright citizenship And I've done it with you folks and I've done it with the Levin's Liberty's voice video podcast And I've done it before on Fox, but I decided really really make a granular textual Make it as Understandable as possible And I did that for 20 minutes And I went through carefully slowly With the highlights of the 1866 civil rights decision Who were the authors of that act I should say who were the authors of that act? Why was it passed in the first place and gave the history surrounding it me and the environment surrounding the the passing of that act and Then it had been vetoed by the then president Johnson a Democrat who became president as vice president when Lincoln was assassinated and why was that important at the time and so then we discussed The authors of the 14th amendment why did they decide to have a 14th amendment and The history surrounding that and what the people involved in it had to say And then I went to the language of the 1866 civil rights act I went to the language of the 14th amendment and they tell us what it meant and Explained as I have with you that you don't have to go to Blackstone You don't have to go to English common law. You don't have to go anywhere except what's right in front of you That's what constitutional conservatism is all about that's what originalism is all about That's why we're not right wingers. We're not left wingers. We're not wingers at all That is the press that is modern-day academia Trying to pigeonhole you and me as something that we're not and push us over into the corner And they pretend to be the center of the action. We're the center of the action. We're the core of What the people who founded this country believe we are you and me And so we walked through it And the president watched it He thought it was fabulous he posted on it And he was encouraging everybody to watch it including Supreme Court justices And the media was furious They were furious And so we have headlines like Let's see mediaite. I've told you about this site before with the exception of one or two people really is a slop site Trump tells scotus to study Mark Levin show on money-making birthright hoax Then picked up by their sort of inbreds these leftist sites Panic Trump 79 rages at Supreme Court in 1 a.m. And meltdown Newsweek Donald Trump says Supreme Court should base decision on Fox News host And the headlines were all like this just dismissive Because the media are partisan their activists their left-wing they hate the Constitution They hate the president. They hate you mr. Mrs. America They say better things about Hamas and Hamas supporters in this country in Iran and Iran supporters in this country then they do about you Then they do about you So part of the problem we have obviously is there are people who aren't really focused in on these things And so they read headlines and they read some of these reports on what's taking place because the press are supposed to be a source of information of news, but they're not They're not Donald Trump says Supreme Court should base decision on Fox News host Newsweek Donald Trump was not talking about the Fox News host. He was talking about what the Fox News host had to say There's not a thing in that Newsweek article They contradicts counters challenges anything that I said nothing in Mediaite they lied and they distorted and they deceived they said it's been the long-standing position of The Supreme Court their birthright citizenship applies We're talking about illegal alien children the Supreme Court's never even ruled on that ever There's no federal statute on that ever talking about birthright citizenship And so here you have a so-called reporter There's a complete liar But rather than take on what I argued and what I stated the substance of it was some counter arguments They had none It reminded me of most of the justices during the hearing last week If they had a single example just one one then any of the authors of the 1866 civil rights act which was the Precursor which really the motivator behind the 14th Amendment or if they had a single statement by anybody Who was involved in the 14th Amendment? Promoting the idea of universal Citizenship to anybody born into the United States including illegal aliens. Let's see it. Let's hear it. There's nothing zero There was no such thing as illegal aliens back then because they didn't have immigration laws of much of much to speak of So they didn't counter the solicitor general the United States when he was arguing although he went off in the some areas I wouldn't have but nonetheless. I'm just staying focused They went off the things like if it's the intent of the illegal alien who comes into the country or any alien that comes into the country That the United States should be their domicile therefore allegiance to the United States How do we know their intent? We have to go through all this due process stuff and then I thought to myself What does that have to do with anything? When you were ruling on the tariff issue you weren't concerned about how complicated it would be to return funds to individuals And how that would work out not one of them said a damn thing about it Stay focused on the Constitution and the law and your damn job What does the Constitution say about birthright citizenship not a damn thing zero Zero and they knew exactly what was meant by The jurisdiction thereof Based on the earlier writings two years before and the Civil Rights Act of 1866 they knew exactly what they were talking about And yet they pretend they don't you want to know why because they're cowards Other than Alito who was clear other than Thomas who was clear Gorsuch seem wobbly Cabin all seem wobbly. I don't know where this is going to wind up But I will tell you this if they constitutionalize something that doesn't exist in the Constitution That means Congress can't do anything other than pass an amendment to the Constitution you see how the Congress is divided that'll never happen Convention of states were a ways off from having a convention of states Then what the Supreme Court will do is what no Congress has ever done and what's that? Voted to make birthright citizenship the law in fact by the Supreme Court Upholding it if they do if they should Then it is enshrined in the Constitution There's absolutely no basis for that none Now the consequences if they do that are monumental catastrophic Inescapable That means every child born in the United States of aliens or illegal aliens With minor minor exceptions that are irrelevant here will be an American citizen Now you can imagine especially in a Democrat administration how they'll open the borders and how many people will come into the country and Have children Now for the communist Chinese it'll be a heyday Because they've already sent tens of thousands of pregnant women Chinese citizens into the United States Giving birth to babies who become US citizens then leaving the United States with their babies bringing them back to China and Then they'll become adults then they'll send them back to the United States Will the government there and I have all the rights of American citizens. They'll be able to work on Silicon Valley They'll be able to work on top-secret plans. They'll be able to work in the military They'll be able to run for governmental positions and who are they going to represent and What presented was something akin to that the Chief Justice the United States said that's not what we're deciding on today So I went through all this and more and the best news we could do is Donald Trump says Supreme Court should based decision on Fox News House, that's the best they could do That's the best they could do mediaite Trump tells scotis to study Mark Levin show on money-making birthright hoax Like 14 different topics in the one run-on sentence there for the title And the rest were no different The nest the rest were no different So rather than have any Legitimate pushback. I'm not trying to slogan e'ering and lying and deceiving. I'm talking about tell me who said Birthright citizenship isn't trying in the 14th Amendment. Tell me nobody Tell me what they meant by the jurisdiction thereof. I told them I told them what two of the authors Two of the authors of the amendment said There's no No response zero Zero then they point to an 1898 decision the same Supreme Court that in 1896 Issued the Plessy versus Ferguson separate but equal as equal That uphold segregation right up to Brown versus Board of Education in the 1950s that court That court ruled essentially That a father who was a naturalized citizen the United States with a Chinese ancestry and a mother who was not that their baby was a citizen It was decided wrongly that decision violated 40 years of practice 40 years from 1868 from 1868 on 30 years of practice I should say to 1898 But it still didn't involve an illegal alien child The Supreme Court's never ruled on that So if this court Constitutionalizes birthright citizenship for an illegal alien Child Will do something that no Congress has done No prior Supreme Court has done That the framers of the amendment didn't promote That the framers of the act that preceded the amendment didn't promote a Term that is not in federal law. It's not codified anywhere a term. That's not found in the Constitution anywhere They can't find a soul. They can't find a Syllable that supports what they want to do And the media treats it treats it the way it does And I hope the court did listen I hope the court does listen I hope the court does the right thing I just don't think there's a nothing that have the guts to do it Because what we're really talking about is politics and policy not the Constitution and not the rule of law That's what we're talking about. They will try and camouflage it Camouflage it with the Constitution. They'll tell you about English common law and this that they'll go on and on and on But I am telling you the truth cutting away at all the statistics If I've read the Constitution once I've read it a thousand times and I don't mean just read through its speed reading I mean studying it Going over it looking at the background of the different clauses and who was involved in what and that includes the amendments to the Constitution especially the post-civil war amendments and the Bill of Rights before that But that's the best the press can do His operation epic fury Intensive us the world braces for what's to come next and people of faith pray for freedom and for God's people in the Holy Land to Be protected and in the Holy Land red alert sirens fill the air sirens that give you only 15 seconds to reach the nearest bombshell the situation is serious The threat is real and in times like this freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas They are what we depend upon in the international fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground Preparing large-scale distributions of life-saving food first aid emergency essentials for security personnel while helping ensure hospitals and emergency rooms and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies This aid is focused on Israel's most vulnerable the sick the elderly children Families in great need but the international fellowship of Christians and Jews need your most generous gift today to make this work possible So please rush your gift which is tax deductible by calling right away 888-585-IFCJ That's 888-585-IFCJ Or online at Levin for the fellowship org that's Levin for the fellowship org Making your weekend even better this is the best of Mark Levin Peace here in the New York Slimes, and we know that you have to take this with a grain of salt, but it's out there It's out there And it's a long piece about the lead up to the decision by the president to unleash the military operation against Iran and The reporters are Jonathan Swan Who's a decent reporter Maggie Haberman who in my view is not but nonetheless In the midst of this long article it says nobody in mr. Trump's inner circle was more worried about the prospect of war with Iran Or did more to try to stop it than the vice president? Mr. Vance had built his political career opposing precisely that I'm reading from the article The kind of military adventurism that was now under serious consideration. It's not adventurism I Would say to the Slimes Let's see here He had described a war with Iran as quote a huge distraction of resources Unquote and quote massively expensive on quote first who's leaking all this stuff I mean they're actually quoting from meetings and he's not the only one they're quoting Now say what you will a vice president or a secretary defense or secretary state or a CIA direct They need to be able to give advice to the president in absolute confidence There's a constant leaking problem Oh trouble Okay breaking news All right from from my true social this is brand new and it is 635 p.m. Just shy of the 8 p.m. witching hour Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shabazz Sharif that would be the Pakistan and Field Marshal Asim Maneer of Pakistan and We're in they requested that I hold off the destruction the Destructive force being sent tonight to Iran and Subject to the Islamic Republican of Iran agreeing to the complete immediate he capitalizes in safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz I Agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks This will be a double-sided ceasefire The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives And are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long-term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East We received a ten-point proposal from Iran Believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate Almost all the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran But a two-week period will allow the agreement to be finalized and consummated on behalf of the United States of America's president and Also representing the countries of the Middle East It is an honor to have this locked this a rather long-term problem close to resolution Thank you for your attention to this matter. That's all I know That's all we have right now That's all I know. I don't know what the ten points are. I don't have any of that. I don't think it's public yet Is it mr. Producer? No the ten-point plan Yeah, not yet, so we don't have that yet. This was literally just released By the president in the White House And so We'll see where that goes now the people negotiating on our side are the two envoys Whitcoff and Kushner and apparently the vice president So we'll see how that goes, but let me go on with his article Vice president thought a regime change war with Iran would be a disaster his preference Was for no strikes at all But knowing that mr. Trump was likely to intervene in some fashion He tried to steer toward more limited action later when it seemed certain the president was set on a large-scale campaign Mr. Vance argued that he should do so with overwhelming force in the hope of achieving his objective quickly In front of his colleagues mr. Vance warned mr. Trump that a war against Iran could cause regional chaos and untold numbers of casualties He could also break apart mr. Trump's political coalition and would be seen as a betrayal by many voters who bought into the promise of no new wars Mr. Vance raised other concerns to his vice president. He was aware the scope of America's munitions problem It were against the regime with enormous will for survival could leave the United States in far worse position to fight conflicts for some years He told associates that no amount of military insight could truly gauge what Iran would do in retaliation when survival the regime was at stake It could go into unpredictable directions He thought there seemed to be little chance of building a peaceful Iran in the aftermath And it goes on Tucker Carlson the commentator who had emerged as another prominent skeptic of intervention on the right How can you call him of the right now? If by right they mean conservative that's been abandoned that was abandoned a long time ago He'd come to the Oval Office several times over the previous year to warn mr. Trump That a war with Iran would destroy his presidency a couple of weeks before the war began Mr. Trump who had known Carlson for years tried to reassure him over the phone I know you're worried about it, but it's going to be okay The president said Carlson asked how he knew because it always is mr. Trump replied well then we know that was a two-way conversation right mr. Reducer So we know one of the leakers is Tucker Carlson The final days of February and it goes on it's a very long piece, but I thought that aspect of it might interest you It also turns out that the general who was the most gun-ho of the generals was not raising cane It was Admiral Cooper Admiral Cooper apparently has In each aspect of this Informed the president that our military could in fact achieve what it is achieving So it seems like Admiral Cooper Is more of a raising cane than raising cane if I read between the lines here properly But the most Important voice was also the most committed voice to taking on Iran the president of the United States More so than the CIA director more so than the secretary of state There's not much here about the secretary defense in this article again if the article's accurate and who the hell knows I Sure as don't I mean who knows But the president is the apparently the most conservative of the group mr. Producer He's also the most security conscious apparently Again, there's nothing in here that I can see nothing much anyway about Hague Seth only a little about rubio And This is part of a book that they're writing by the way, so they must be getting a crapload of leaks and what happens is this Almost everybody's leaking I don't know who's not. I don't know who is but almost all of them are leaking Because they want to appear Very well in the book they want to appear To be quote unquote a good guy or a guy Position themselves and so they leak I've seen this I said it was in the Reagan administration other administrations Because they all have interests beyond government right Vice president wants to be president secretary of state may want to be something else like I don't know But the point is if the book's going to be written by journalists with the new york times And that's going to be viewed By the rest of the media is definitive even though it certainly won't be The fact of the matter is The individuals try to position themselves again. I don't know who's leaked into who hasn't leaked But most of the individuals try to position themselves And put themselves in a good light and maybe somebody else and not such a good light, especially if they're seeking a higher office one day That's how you get articles like this with all these leaks and so forth Now while we're on this topic, I will be on Hannity tonight 9 p.m. Eastern time To discuss this I assume but maybe birthright citizenship. I don't know But he asked me to come on and I will be there of course But then there's this story in the new york post Yasemin Ansari democrat of Arizona the first Iranian American democrat elected to congress Raged against Donald Trump for his jaw dropping threats to Iran Including to end the country quote in one night unquote and called impeaching Heg said they necessary step to prevent a catastrophe so online You had the woke right? neo fascist isolationist just Trashing the president for his statement that he put out that he's going to destroy the civilization of Iran or something like that You had little aida fuentes Tucker trader Kataros and gone nuts Here's Morgan was very upset. They were all very very upset When all the rest of us knew millions and millions of us knew this is how the president operates To try and bring maximum pressure against an enemy like Iran And so I put out a thing out there and I online to Morgan and I said okay How much you would have bet he doesn't destroy the Iranian civilization? Because it's absurd We know what he was doing He is using psychological warfare And he does this sort of thing fairly frequently so the idea that people miss it is really ridiculous And so the democrats are saying what he said would be a war crime. So we need to impeach him What he said shows that he's mentally unhinged So we need to see the 25th amendment trigger and they don't even understand how that works, but This was going on all day and all last night All day and all last night She says now this is an Iranian American democrat and by the way, she does not speak for most Iranian Americans I assure you I'm introducing articles of impeachment against Pete Hakeseth Pete Hakeseth For repeatedly violating his oath of office and his duty to the constitution Only congress has the power to declare war not a rogue president or his lackeys Hakeseth's reckless endanger. Okay, so Factually Hakeseth hasn't Made any decisions the president makes the decisions That's number one And the secretary of war carries them out. That's number two In number three this whole idea declaration of war has been explained by me repeatedly and i'm not going to explain it again But she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about What's happening here in america is they're trying to use impeachment And the 25th amendment not because the president has committed a high crime or misdemeanor not because Hakeseth has committed a high crime or misdemeanor They want to use the 25th amendment they Again, they don't even know how that works Not because the president is senile and can't function. He's not biden But because they disagree with him On this military operation in iran, that's not what impeachment is for it. That's not That's not what the 25th amendment is for the 25th amendment is for whether a president can actually Complete his responsibilities and undertake his responsibilities, which this president can they just disagree with him An impeachment is for a high crime or misdemeanor, which has a very specific meaning and understanding. This is not that She says only congress has the power to declare war not a rogue president or his lackeys now here we are in the middle of a war This is how the democrats conduct themselves giving aid and comfort to the enemy This is how traitor tucker conducts himself. This is how all the other little little pussians conduct themselves In the middle of a war Yes in the middle of a war Her singling out haykseath comes weeks after trump revealed last month that his secretary war was the first to call for war against iran Haykseath's team brushed off the impeachment push With pentagon press secretary kingsley wilson telling the post It's just another democrat trying to make headlines, which is true Haykseath has done a fantastic job He's in charge of the nuts and bolts He's in charge of the nuts and bolts He's in charge of what we're seeing much of this Nuts and bolts And of course they won impeach him mark Another morning another reminder there's a gap to be careful of but maybe it's time to bridge the one between your nine to five And your dream of living life on your own terms At hsbc we know ambition looks different to everyone Whether it's retiring early or leaving more for your family We can help because when it comes to unlocking your money's potential we know wealth search hsbc wealth today HSBC uk opening up a world of opportunity hsbc uk current account holders only You're listening to the best of mark laven Schumer and the democrats are undermining our war effort They're doing it for their own power their own aggrandizement They're exploiting even issues that ought not be exploited For their own power Chuck Schumer is one of the worst senators ever It will do and say anything to hold on to a senate seat And to become majority leaders I posted on our social sites Even if that means undermining our military in the middle of a war He said years ago that Iran was a nuclear threat And he voted against the obama deal For all the reasons president trump left the obama deal in his first term Yet schumer acts like the president's decision to order military action against iran Despite tireless efforts to negotiate with that regime to abandon its nuclear program and surrender its enriched uranium Which was fruitless? And indeed the regime's negotiators bragged that they would have 11 nuclear bombs in 10 days Was some kind of a rash in irresponsible action Schumer and the other fools in his party love to come up with slogans and phrases that grab the headlines of their laptop media Like military moron schumer used today But the fact is that what has been accomplished thus far is nothing short of spectacular It is crucial that the manner in which this is ended is equally successful And it is worth debating Stay the course is what I say, but that said no matter how it ends Schumer and his comrades will denounce it and the president For their goal is not the defeat of iran and the removal of a nuclear threat But the defeat of the president if they can His removal In fact, they have no popular substantive agenda And an extreme base to tend to and that's all that matters But schumer's party their media and their surrogates are focused on one thing and one thing only power And they will do anything for power And don't give a damn how they get it All this talk about impeachment in the 25th amendment Is intended to reverse the last presidential election and retroactively disenfranchise the voters They'd all they could to stop a second trump term Including the horrendous abuse of our legal system both civilly and criminally Unleashing an fbi swat team to search the president's home Twisting the language of the 14th amendment to try and keep them off the ballot and a lot more And a lot more and they have no intention of stopping even now Clearly the president has committed no impeachable offenses And the 25th amendment has absolutely no application to their effort To undermine the war The military operation is not unconstitutional. It's not unlawful There have been no war crimes and the democrats cannot even get their adjut props straight In the course of 24 hours, they claim the president is poised to commit genocide against the iranian people Who he is hoping to liberate and now they claim he's chicken because he agreed to a two week ceasefire Agree or not with this latter decision Schumer and the democrats are wildly out of control with their behavior and their propaganda In fact, they are undermining our troops and giving aid and comfort to the enemy and they don't give a damn Such is the influence of the marxist islamist forces within their party Again, the democrats see everything through the lens of power This is how they govern This is how they campaign This is how they operate at all times Everything else even the best interests of the country are secondary Their purpose in all of this Is to win the midterm elections that destroy the trump presidency Denuking iran and protecting the american people be damned I just posted this as well Because i believe it's important The president has a lot going against him right now And i want to discuss the latest events with iran in a moment But it is illustrative over at a site called mediaite founded by dan abrams And there's an individual who works there Colby hall who has a very unimpressive background But it doesn't matter And i'm writing something that i will soon post when i complete it But i want to share it with you exclusively my radio audience He's very upset you see because i was on hanity last night And i was praising the president of the united states for the actions he's taken For having the courage to take on the iranian regime No president has done it before none will do it after i fear Because of the real the real live threat of nuclear weapons that every president has talked about everyone That schumer talked about that sake talked about That chris murphy talked about that they all talked about And that's what they did they talked about it or worse they tried to buy off the iranians with billions and billions of dollars They bent over backwards to appease iran And I have questions about what's going on now But not in a way that attacks the president or undermines the president just questions that any american might have But coby hall viewed that as a hostage video when i was on hanity The dripping hate coby hall editor-in-chief at mediaite has for donald trump Like most of his staff there knows no bounds It is obsessive relentless and unhinged The headlines are typically sensational The entire website is built around a leftist anti trump in the last decade or so anti fox agenda and more Yet it pretends to be a media site with a professional journalistic core In other words the entire enterprise is fraudulent It's not worth doing a study of the site or of hall's editorial opinions in particular But they are predictable with a couple of exceptions intended to claim some kind of independence balance and objectivity The site is consumed with internet squabbles always stirring the pot Because the business model requires lots and lots of page views and hall The conductor I've had my run-ins with this guy I invited him on this show to discuss mediaite and its mission a year or two ago. He passed. That's fine But he's a thoroughly unethical individual And he uses the site to get even with individuals he dislikes or disagrees with He's not motivated by any kind of journalistic purpose Although he likes to lecture himself servingly that he is And points his finger at others condescendingly Complaining about their lack of standards objectivity Truth-telling well He should be looking in the mirror The site was founded by dan abrams a person of many public personalities Plays the role of a straight legal and news analyst on network tv But shows his true nature as a jerry springer type Of legal and crime shows on cable tv Now as for this guy's latest scree colby Yes, i'm a huge fan of president trump and i don't hide it And I don't hide it Nor do I pretend otherwise I believe what he has done with Iran is historic humane and crucial Historic humane and crucial He does not But I raised some points about the current phase respecting discussions with Iran which I mentioned as well I've done the same in the past on other matters Therefore, I praise the president and I raise my questions for all this is akin to a hostage video. It's a legitimate Or whatever It's because he has no professionalism he pretends to be objective His lens is that of a leftist And his business His business is how many eyes can he get On his website Outerly disgraceful The great one makes your weekend even better This is the best of mark levin Well, we have a lot of requests coming in here from the media. Don't we miss reducer? Let's should I read this one out loud? This is from the wall street journal. This is the second one To mr. Produce a rich my colleague josh dawcy and I are working on a piece about how president trump approached the last six weeks of war with Iran We're trying to understand the key moments Who he was listening to at various points The arguments that tended to work with him and any insight on the arguments that didn't work My sense is that mark has played an important role in hoping that he can share some insights into this time period We'd be happy to talk to him on background Where he would we wouldn't use his name if that would make him more comfortable. Let me know I'm just reading this cold. Let me know If you think he'd be open to that any linsky. I'm never open To anonymous interviews. I'm rarely open to any interviews Now why is that america? Because i'm on the radio. I'm on tv. I give everybody my views If senators congressman the president want to know my view all I have to do is listen to me or watch me There's nothing secret about this nothing I'm supported for my views. I'm attacked for my views Period Now the funniest thing is there's really At least two different worlds in this country stick with me There's our world which is a normal world You know you work hard You raise a family You watch some tv some cable some network tv Maybe you listen to the radio Maybe you listen to a podcast that you like a particular podcast a lot of people like our podcast Our radio podcast as well as our new liberty voice podcast, you know kind of normal Then there are people who spend believe it in a all day on the internet All day on x all day Now I pop in and out pop in and out and I we post very quickly and that sort of thing and Maybe I'll go back and see who says what maybe I won't But it's a cesspool now. There's some really wonderful people there. Don't get me wrong but it's like Whatever enters somebody's head They type and they put it on the internet mr. Medusa No matter how foul and crash no matter how false and dishonor it doesn't matter Now in your own life, you don't conduct yourself that way. I don't do you know So it's two different worlds and we did A study of this and maybe the affiliates will be interested in this too That is How many people who listen to talk radio my show? My show Are also listening to podcasters. Do you know what the overlap is? 7 percent 7 percent So what goes on on the internet? Isn't going on in the real world now. You might say but the internet is the real world. It's actually not The internet skews much younger even though you have a bunch of People going through the midlife crisis on they're trying to be cool and young and on so they drop the f bombs and that that's another story Now you might go on the internet from time to time right to do some research to read some news that sort of that's not what i'm talking about I'm talking about they go on these sites And they never get off And they put comment after comment after comment after god i'm talking about hundreds and hundreds a day And by the way, this is why Too many young people go into what they call these dark rooms or these dark dark board rooms or dark closets, whatever you want to call them And they reinforce some of the worst aspects to humanity And then they go out and do some violence obviously not most but some of these cases some of these high-profile cases This is what we've seen This is what we've seen By the way, mr. Producer write her back politely and just say Mark appreciates the offer but he declines We want to be respectful she didn't actually do anything wrong the reporter she's doing her job But i don't participate in that stuff everybody else does but i don't And i get this all the time just so you know america all the time Now for some people like tucker and so forth it's irresistible the lore is irresistible to go on or off the record particularly off the record Like yesterday that was in the new york times a telephone discussion between the president tucker carlson remember that one rich Well, how did that leak to the media? Well, it wasn't the president just saying Or there's a lot of leaks Attacking me levin told the president this levin told well first of all 99 percent of the time i did not But it's all about positioning The media is Not just about news for the and i'm not talking about the reporters now i've talked enough about them today. I'm talking about People who use the media to get even or they use the media to promote themselves or they use the media To advance a cause or something like that And so they'll go off the record And they'll be treated better by the reporters because they're a source I have never done that. I worked in the reg. Administration eight years I worked as chief of staff to the attorney general. I didn't leak period period I know that's rarity apparently, but it is what it is. That's how I was raised That's right. Don't leak. I was taught as a young kid Don't leak, but seriously that's the truth Here's my advice to you and I mean this quite seriously I'm not telling you to boycott anybody. I'm not interesting creating any campaigns of that sort But for your own mental health Stop listening to tucker if you do To banan if you do To rogan if you do to kelly if you do to all these people Listen to people who are normal listen to people Who have some class listen to people Who reinforce your belief systems? I don't mean For indoctrination purposes Or for purposes of not learning other viewpoints and so I'm talking about People who you can respect You know a rush used to say The reason he had such a significant audience was because he simply reinforces people's values and beliefs Now remember what they tried to do to him they tried to destroy him On one occasion in particular they almost succeeded And of course he and I were best friends and I missed the hell out of him And I know he would be agreeing with what I'm doing. He would do it differently, but he would do it He would take these people on too. He was no fan of tucker Carlson period He was no fan of meg and kelly period But that doesn't matter He did his show his way I do it my way Sean does it his way and so forth and so on But there needs to be some level of civility That doesn't mean you're on a passion and emotion And you're not and you have different moods and so forth all humans we all do that But I'm not going to get behind this microphone and lie to you and twist you and Play psyops with you and that's what goes on on the internet a lot of it. That's what goes on in The podcasting world for a lot of people not all but a lot I go to these different diners from time to time I've told you about that and I go to one diner in particular and the people who Who work there are young people. They're all young And there's a husband and wife who own it. They're just lovely people I'm not going to tell you where and so forth so because of security reasons. Unfortunately. I have to deal with that stuff. So I Pulled a few aside today I said, what do you think about x do you go on x much and you know what they told me two of them It's very vicious on there very vicious Very depressing both of them said this So they'll go there, but they don't spend a lot of time there and they don't read the comments And they're right My daughter told me the same thing my son told me the same thing The same thing And they're right So these other formats whether it's tv or talk radio and so forth or if you want to run a podcast or a video podcast in a same way That's not the way it's done With a lot of these people who draw a lot of attention to themselves ask yourself How does a comic? How does a guy who's a ufc color commentator? A guy that used to have what was that show called? I remember that he did mr. But is a fear factor which I kind of like How does he turn into the biggest podcaster and so you're jealous. I'm not jealous in the least. I'm doing great I enjoy what I do I How's that possible? It's not brainpower It's antics. It's the type of guest you bring it's provocation. It's intrigue. It's that kind of thing drama Or people who've been fired from jobs and have had other jobs Who've been liberal than the conservative anti-trump pro-trump moderate right wing then left wing and How's that work? They're trying to get ahead of the curve. They're not actually contributing anything to the audience. They're using the audience They're manipulating the audience Even the people who may not like me or hate me they'll tell you one thing that's true consistency of principle They may not like what I say or the way I say it but it's consistency of principle You either have a certain faith and belief system a certain value system Certain principles or you don't now you may adjust them over time not for You know publicity purposes, but you live a life you think about certain things and maybe you adjust it here and there You've read a part of the bible and you think okay, maybe I'm not in the right direction. I need to go that's different That's learning. That's knowledge. That's experience. That's good But I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about manipulation conniving that sort of thing There's far more of that on the internet And with podcasters not all I want to keep saying there's some great exceptions Then there is in radio or tv. It's just the case It's just the case I'm talking about this for two reasons number one It's important because the whole media world is in a state of flux And with that people who you thought you agreed with Believed in who shared your vows and then you find out they don't I want you to understand what they're doing. They're grifting. They're manipulating In many ways they're panicking and they're desperate And then for mental health purposes for the audience for you psychologically Don't let them despair at you. Don't let them disunite us We are a great people If you listen to these people they keep tearing us down.

Please set your dvr's apm Eastern time saturday and sunday on fox And we're here my favorite place radio It's my favorite place It just is I've been doing it a long time now and I've always been a fan of it and I can't be more thrilled that you're here And there's millions of millions of you and you folks are wonderful. Absolutely wonderful Now I've decided to start with something I've debated it honestly that the president put out what an hour ago rich something like that Uh, it's quite Important and it's something I've been talking about with you and down the line our affiliates have all heard it About the nature of the conservative movement the nature of maga. What's happening to our country? And we're facing the islamists. We're facing the marxists. We're facing a very corrupt media We're facing an academia which is propagandistic In radical left and we're facing these woke right neofascists And you know we have a response bully to address that too and I understand for a lot of people in this business or Podcasts or tv or whatever. It's difficult. It's complicated On the one hand, they don't want to turn people off On the other hand, they're not sure what to do I have a rule of thumb do what's right stick to your principles And in the end it'll work out and if it doesn't it wasn't meant to be it's okay Whether it's radio tv whether it's video podcasting whether it's writing books or just your personal life Just do what's right. What you know is right Embrace your principles and do it consistently The president put out a social media post I guess a week or so ago Defending me I had absolutely nothing to do with it. He came out of left field And um obviously somebody's monitoring social media. Wouldn't you say mr. Producer? It's not him. He doesn't have time to do it somebody is And it was really remarkable was very Humbling to say the least But not many of these same people are attacking him They're attacking his presidency They're attacking the republican party the conservative movement. They're attacking maga Some of them are talking about Voting democrat some of them are talking about Uh getting rid of trump the 25th amendment And these people are really uh Grifters they really are They really are Trump hasn't changed there's nothing wrong with him mentally He doesn't deserve to be removed from office Every step he takes is intended to promote the country defend the country enhance the country He's a multi-billionaire that didn't need this job And he's put up with a hell of a lot a hell of a lot more than a lot of us They came after him criminally they came after him civilly they tried to push him off the ballots Some people tried to assassinate him He didn't need any of this He's not in it for the money People who have very little and then they get elected And then They become more tens of millions of dollars omar Marjorie trader gangrene Pelosi they had wealth but now they have enormous wealth Apparently this guy roe count it if I get to that story he's become Incredibly more wealthy as a result. You know, there's something seedy about that. It's like the obamas have become super wealthy since they've left office Al Gore one of the dumbest people ever to serve in washington. He's become super well trump came to washington with wealth And you have a lot of these people Who now have these sites Have gotten very rich Claiming to be conservative claiming to be maga claiming to support the president And yet they're getting rich attacking him undermining him And under the foulest foulest kind of commentary And I don't know but I guess the president's been Had this information shared with him over time It would make sense. He's got to know what's going on on different platforms But the vitriol against him from this woke right neo fascist wing has been horrendous horrendous And I'm just going to read to you what he said without comment I'm going to read to you what he said without comment. It's out there. Many of you are in your cars or your trucks and You're not aware of this. Many of you stay off the internet and you're probably mentally healthy as a result of it But here's what he wrote an hour ago I know why and I have nothing to do with it zero I know why Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones Have all been fighting me for years Especially by the fact that they think it's wonderful for Iran the number one state sponsored terror to have a nuclear weapon Because they have one thing in common low IQs. They're stupid people They know it their families know it everyone else knows it Look at their past look at their record They don't have what it takes and they never did They've all been thrown off television lost their shows and aren't even invited on tv because nobody cares about them They're nutjobs troublemakers And we'll say anything necessary for some free and cheap publicity Now they think they get some clicks because they have third rate podcasts But nobody's talking about them and their views are the opposite of maga Or I wouldn't have won the presidential election in a landslide Maga agrees with me and just gave cnn a hundred percent approval rating of trump Not hand flailing fools like Tucker Carlson Who couldn't even finish college? He was a broken man when he got fired by fox And he's never been The same he's never been the same Perhaps you should see a good psychiatrist Or megyn kelly he said who nastily asked me the now famous only rosy o'Donnell question or crazy kandace owens Who accuses the highly respected first lady of france of being a man when she's not And will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit Actually to me the first lady of france is far more beautiful woman than kandace. In fact, it's not even close Or bankrupt alec jones Who says some of the dumbest things and lost his entire fortune as they should have For his horrendous attack on the family's is sandy hook shooting victims Ridiculously claiming it was a hoax These so-called pundits are losers and they always will be No fake new cnn the failing new york times and all the other radical left news organizations are hailing them and giving them Positive press for the first time in their lives They're not maga writes the president. They're losers just trying to latch on to maga As president i can get them on my sign anytime i want to But when they call i don't return their calls because i'm too busy on world and country affairs And after a few times they go nasty just like marjorie trader brown But i no longer care about that stuff. I only care about doing right for the country Maga is about winning and strength and not allowing iran to have nuclear weapons Maga is about a making america great again And these people have no idea how to do that But i do because the united states is now the hottest country anywhere in the world president donald j trump I do miss the thank you for your attention to this matter I'm not even i'm not going to comment on this. I think it says everything that needs to be said And obviously when the president says something like this sort it's important And i've been saying this now for weeks if not months because it's important because it has an impact On the dispiriting of the country of the disuniting of the country and particularly our movements You have people here who are rooting against the republican party who are rooting for the failure of the president Who are giving aid and comfort to the left wing in this country? They sound like the left wing in this country And there's really no explanation for this other than They're not well They're on the take or this is how they grift But it's not healthy It's not a good thing And it's harmful to our country And it could undermine us in the midterm elections The president won't cost us the midterm elections israel won't cost us the midterm elections I won't cost us the midterm elections People who keep attacking our agenda attacking the president attacking our allies real allies People who are out there with conspiracy theories pushing racism anti christianity anti semitism anti americanism embracing hitler and stalin and And on and on and on these are the people who will cost us the election not because they have a big following Because they have enough of a following that in a close election It can hurt us or that It's a distraction to members of the senate and the house and in the white house That if we were united in purpose and united in our focus We certainly would have a much much better shot Security program on spreadsheets new regulations piling up an audit dread it's time for vanter vanter automate security and compliance brings evidence into one place and cuts audit prep by 82 Less manual work clearer visibility faster deals zero chaos call it compliance or call it calm Compliance get it join the 15 000 companies using vanter to prove trust get started at vanter.com
