Now broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the fowls of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Zahl Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number, 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. I spent a lot of time going through the news, going through various research, should I do, historical, philosophical, and so forth, in preparation for you, because I want to do a good job. I want to make your time here worthwhile. Time is valuable. That's all we've got, until we don't. And I was invited by Martha McCallan, who I think is one of the best, absolutely one of the best. And I appeared on her program this afternoon, and we'll get into that in a moment. And we have some great guests this weekend, Saturday and Sunday on Life Liberty and Levin. We have General Keen. We have John Federman. We have the gentleman we had on radio the other day talking about war crimes, and we have Elise Stefanik. So it's going to be fantastic. Please set your DVRs, 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 and millions of you, and you folks are wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Now, I've decided to start with something. I've debated honestly, that the president put out what an hour ago, Rich, something like that. 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, and radical left, and we're facing these woke right neo fascists. And you know, we have a responsibility to address that too. And I understand for a lot of people in this business or podcasters 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 obviously, somebody's monitoring social media. When you say Mr. Producer, it's not him. He doesn't have time to do it. Somebody is. And it was really remarkable. It 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 getting rid of Trump, the 25th Amendment. And these people are really 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, 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 Conniff, if I get to that story, he's become incredibly more wealthy as a result. 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 wealthy. 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 has 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 sponsor of 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 will 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 Megan Kelly, he said, who nastily asked me the now famous only Rosie O'Donnell question or crazy Candace 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 Candace, 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 families of Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called pundits are losers and they always will be. Now 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 side 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 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 of 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 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. I'll be right back. Gold just had its biggest year since 1979, up 67 percent. 53 new all-time highs, then blew past $5,500 in January. Right now almost every major bank on Wall Street, they're telling their clients this is the buy window before gold hits $6,000, $7,000, even $8,000. Meanwhile, silver is sitting on a structural supply deficit for the sixth straight year, meaning there's not enough silver for industrial use. Many central banks in China, Poland, Brazil, India are buying gold at record prices. Now's the time to diversify, ladies and gentlemen, with silver and gold.

You know, people say they didn't give us all the stuff in the Epstein files, we want more, more, more. I'm starting to think people are perverts, that they want more, it's sick. But that said, I told you the other day, Justice Department, their computer systems are like 20 years old, so I'm guessing I haven't trouble trudging this stuff out, I'm just being, I don't know this, I'm just saying I do know it's old, because when I was there it was old. And I'm only mentioning that because I'm wondering, how old is your computer, Rich? Not that old? Okay. Was it made in America, Japan, Korea, or China? We don't know. We don't know. But there we are. All right, really one of the great journalists out there, and I mean this, is Martha McCullum. I fell that way about Brett Barron and several others, too. Not a lot, several, but not a ton. But Martha, oh the computer's dead, so we can't play, so should I wait till after the break? This is live and national. So when the computer's back up after the break, I want to play a little bit of this for you, especially this guy in media, Kobe Hall, man did he wet himself this morning, Mr. Producer. Very thin skinned, very low IQ. The guy's utterly unaccomplished. And you know these websites like MediaEye and Drudge Report, basically they steal, it's not a legal word, it's just they steal everybody else's content. They put clips up and they sort of excise quotes out of them, sometimes taking them out of context, of course. They use the most provocative and sensational headlines they can, because remember the name of the game is eyeballs, eyeballs, eyeballs to get on their money train. And so you have all these disincentives towards rational news and so forth. So this guy, this guy Kobe Hall has been kind of a human hemorrhoid for a very long time. He's utterly unaccomplished and now he's a big fish in a big pond, he's actually a big fish in a little pond. And he hires mostly leftists, there are some good people over there, two or three, but the rest of them are hard lefty. You can look them up yourself if you even care. But that's what generates this. So he pretends he, above all the others, condescendingly of course, is a media watcher and is an individual that holds the media, their feet to the fire so to speak. And yet the site does almost nothing but trash Trump, trash Fox, trash conservatives with a few exceptions so they can pretend, you know, that they they have some kind of camouflage. They're not completely naked, thank God. And so this guy writes a really stupid piece condescendingly, of course, the other day which we discussed. I responded to him and posted it, then he writes an incredibly stupid piece out of anger, because he's kind of filled with nitwittery, barely coherent. And so I responded to that. I'm waiting for his next salvo. Colby Hall. I'll be right back. Silver is now in its sixth consecutive year of structural supply deficit, meaning demand is outpacing supply of silver every single year. Solar energy alone is projected to consume 160 to 194 million ounces of silver this year because silver is irreplaceable in solar cell technology. And the world is using more and more silver. There's no substitute. Folks, silver is currently trading at a great price, $71 to $80 per ounce after hitting $121 earlier this year. That's the zigzag I talk about, but the trajectory is up, meaning the industrial demand story hasn't even fully played out yet. Call monetary gold today. Get your complimentary gold and silver guide.

Computer's all pumped up, ready to roll, I think. It's good. Rich Cement is, his name, he's the best at what he does. Here I am on Martha McCullum's show today. Again, she's just a fantastic journalist. She's superb. Cut one, go. And I point this out, this isn't the only paper editorial that sort of sounds like this today. Trump declares premature victory in Iran. It says, the unfortunate truth is that Mr. Trump put himself in this position. Inconsistent rhetoric on the war, claims of victory, and unleashing hell to Iran civilization, raised global fears, and undermined support at home and abroad. The next test for Mr. Trump will be whether he takes his two weeks ceasefire deadline seriously. So that, you can sort of throw into a ball of coverage that is quite similar to that. What's your reaction when you see that, Mark? Well, I don't normally waste my time reading editorial pages because I don't care what about six guys sitting in a skyscraper, have to say about anything. The fact of the matter is this. We wouldn't be where we are today, but for the fact that this president did something no president has done in half a century. He said, enough is enough. We're going to take care of this nuclear issue. We're going to take care of this enrichment issue. They're not going to get the blackmail us. They're not going to get the fund terrorism anymore. They've killed thousands of American citizens and military personnel. We're not putting up with that anymore. They're spreading terrorism all over the world. They try to assassinate me. We're not putting up with that anymore. We're going to take care of this once and for all. We're not going to push it off to the next generation. My envoy came back. Steve Whitcoff, he said they were bragging about the fact that they could have 11 nuclear bombs in 10 days. And I'm supposed to listen to Chuck Schumer. I'm supposed to waste my time with AOC. I'm supposed to care with some editorial page, has to say. He's the president of the United States. He knows what he's doing. My issue here is they say premature. He's sending mixed signals. Premature. I don't think he's premature at all. And he hasn't sent mixed signals unless he wants to send mixed signals. And that's the way he negotiates and so forth. So the fact of the matter is this regime is dead. The question is whether we let it live, whether we allow it to breathe life into it. And that's why these negotiations are critical. I agree with almost everything General Kellogg had to say. They are dead men walking. Now, are we going to resuscitate them or not? As far as the straits go, that's international waters. They don't get to control it. There's eight countries on the shoreline of that navigable area. Who says Iran gets to make decisions about what goes on there? They have to be put in their place. If we're me, I'm not president. So I'm just projecting. I'd say here are my 12 points. You surrender or we'll see you in a week or two. And that's that. We're not there negotiating any kind of deal. We're negotiating their surrender. That's my view. This president has been up against the Democrats. He's been up against the woke right. He's been up against the media. He's been up against the UN. He's been up against NATO. And he's doing the right thing. They've had 50 years to figure this out. And he's figured it out. And he says no to all these other people. They're wrong. What would we do today, Martha, if they had a nuclear weapon? They control the straits. And there's not a damn thing we could do about it. They control the entire oil in that entire region. That whole region would change with China's presence, with Russia's presence and so forth and so on. Moreover, they keep threatening us. These are terrorists. These are suicide bombers. They'd be suicide bombers with nuclear weapons. And they could use those nuclear weapons to kill tens of millions of Americans. Donald Trump's the president. He has to make those decisions. We should book that guy. Oh, I am that guy. All right. One more clip. I'd be curious to know what you think about it. Cut two ago. The question of this ceasefire and, you know, from everything I'm here, I know General Kellogg said, you know, I didn't support a ceasefire at this point, but the president made that decision. And that, you know, that's where we are now. So a lot is going to depend on this decision, these meetings that are going to happen in Pakistan. What was your, what's your take on it? Do you think it was too soon? Do you agree with it? I mean, who am I? I wouldn't have done it, but he's done it. And he's smarter than I am. He has more information that I have. Right. And so far, when it comes to foreign policy and so forth, it's almost been absolutely pristine. So he has information I don't have. I think in the end, they have to be finished off unless, unless there's some kind of deal. And I also think this, this government has to go. It's an illegitimate government. It's slaughtered as its own people. It's not a government of the people. I'm not talking about it. Well, it's pretty clear the same guys are in charge right now, right? I mean, we have not had a regime change. The same guys are in charge. Am I right? Well, here's my take on it. The fact of the matter is that we went to war with this regime and this regime lost. We didn't go to war with the people of Iran. There are two separate things. Absolutely. We don't want a democracy project. The American people don't want a democracy project. So what? We take this regime out. We put in a temporary government and they can figure out what they're going to do, whether they want a democracy, whether they want a king, whether they want a prince, whether they want a queen, you know, that whole area is full of dictators and monarchs. If that's what they want, that's great. We're taking out that regime because it's our enemy. We're taking out that regime because it killed our people. We're taking out that regime because they wanted nukes. And if it remains in some form, you know, it's like a weed wacker. The weeds grow. They keep coming. You might get the top of it in the next level, but the weeds keep growing. And if we don't get down into the weeds, they're going to keep growing. Well, that was that. I don't know. Does that sound kiss-ass to you, Mr. Bidous? I think it sounds very balanced, doesn't it? Now over at Mediaite, Kobe Hall, who... We should send him a pack of the pens, don't you think, Mr. Bidous? He'll probably put it on his head. He won't know what it's for. But this angers people like him. And I've got depressing clip after depressing clip, Democrat after Democrat, trying to undermine the war effort, trying to dismiss how important this is, trying to turn it into politics and exploit it. And we should punish them for this on Election Day. We should punish them for this and turn out in mass. And that's one of the things I'm going to encourage over the course of this year, right up to Election Day. We need to punish a party that roots for the enemy. We need to punish a party that undermines our troops in the middle of a war. We need to punish a party that one day says Trump is pushing for genocidal war against this enemy. And then 36 hours later says Trump is a wimp and he surrenders. We can't put up with this Democrat party. We saw what they did when they were in power. They gave $140 billion to the enemy by lifting sanctions, $140 billion. They made a mess of the Middle East. They made a mess of this nuclear issue. They made a mess of the border and they purposely did it. They led people into this country who are still killing Americans in the most horrendous way. And now they're leading an effort to prevent them from being deported. And their judges, they let these people out of jail. They need to be held to account for this. They need to be held to account for this. And the president called out the woke rike, as I call them, REICH. They're not all the same, but some of them are very, very similar. The leader of the PAC, of course, is Carlson. Why? Because he's smarter than the rest. No, he's just as dumb as the rest. It's just that he was popular as a result of his position on Fox. And he carried that into this so-called independent forum, but it's not independent. His spot was funded. It was funded by a guy who's close to Qatar and close to other elements that you and I reject. And God knows who funds what he does now. God knows who's doing any of this stuff. I know who funds me on my video podcast. Me. I fund me. Me, myself, and I, all three of us. I know I've never taken a penny from any foreign government. Yes, even Israel. Not a penny. Not a free trip. Not a meal. Not a hotel room. Nothing. Zero. I wonder how much the others can say that. Probably none of them. But Alex Jones. Alex Jones is a, he's a washed up, you know, guy that ran something called Info Wars. He got sued by parents in Connecticut for the horrendous things he said about that horrible tragedy where all those little kids were murdered. And teachers and some others too. There was some kind of a, what did he call it? Mr. I forget. I don't know all the specifics. If you care, you can read it on your own. But who tries to exploit a situation like that? It's sick. And yet that's the pig. That's what he did. Or a guy like Bannon, who pleaded guilty to stealing money from you. Then you got the guy with Info Wars. Bannon calls this thing the war room. War room. Info wars. Two tough guys. Two tough guys that have trouble getting up off the chair from dinner because their bellies hang over the table. Two tough guys. And then Carlson has contributed nothing to the country. Zero. Has he said anything profound? Has he written anything profound? He's just a washed up former broadcaster. That's all he is. Who's lost his mind? Or maybe he found his wallet. It's one or the other. I don't know. I don't know. Then there's others that you can comment on yourself. But they're doing grave damage. They're trying to to this republic. They're undermining what is an incredibly successful presidency because they're useful idiots to the media. Gatsite like mediaite. Or other outlets like Politico. The New York Times. And so forth and so on. Who use these buffoons with whom we have absolutely nothing in common. You're not embracing you're not embracing Sharia law. You're not putting down the constitution. You're not talking up Hitler and and Stalin away this little aida fuentes. Who has an IQ of a walnut. You're not doing any of that. You don't believe in any of that. And yet the left wing media they keep projecting these people onto you and me. Because they want us to lose the election. Every time these morons open their big mouths and say the most stupid ass and I bigoted evil vile things they're trying to paint you and me with this. And the president and the president threw down today. He threw down today said no. No that not them. They don't represent us. They don't represent me. Something we're saying to they don't represent us. What has any of them done for conservatism. Can you tell me what has any of them done for the conservative movement for the Tea Party movement for the convention of states movement. What have any of them done. Nothing. What have they done for the Republican Party. They hate the Republican Party and yet that's our choice right. We fight in the primaries. We try to defeat the establishment. We try to nominate conservatives constitutional conservatives. That's the way it works. That's the only way we have. And they're not trashing that. If you've got little Ada Fuentes over there who's telling you to vote for Democrats. You've got Alex Jones bankrupt and all telling you along with Marjorie Trader gangrene that we need to defeat and destroy. Burn down the Republican Party. That's what she said. Burn down the Republican Party. Is that what you want America. So only the Democrats are standing. So they went overwhelming veto proof majorities in the House and the Senate. Is that what you want. It's not what I want. That's what they want. Or several of them anyway. This is what conservative talk radio is all about. They set the record straight. Whether it's the left. Enemies within. Or whether it is a it's not a movement a cabal of self interested self aggrandizing self enriching individuals. Who are abusing you. Who are manipulating you. But me. My audience. My audience is too smart for this. You get it. And there are voices out there challenging them. Podcasters. Not enough. But some on the internet. Not enough. But some. But some. But some. But some. But some. But some. But some. But some. And of course. A handful of us on radio are taking this on. Not many. But this audience is big enough. You understand exactly what I'm talking about. I'll be right back. I'd like to tell you about a man named Phineas who as a child survived the Holocaust. Phineas survived because Christians hid him from the Nazis risking everything to save his life. Today's in his 80s he can no longer stand on his own or leave his home to receive medical care. And when siren sound and missiles fall he doesn't have time or strength to reach safety. But once again Christians are helping save his life. Through the international fellowship of Christians and Jews a mobile clinic brings doctors and medicine right to his home providing care he wouldn't receive especially in wartime. Christians save my life during the Holocaust Phineas says and now again they're helping me. As Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day approaches we honor survivors like Phineas. Not just with words but with action. Please give $45 a tax deductible gift right now to the international fellowship of Christians and Jews to rush life-saving essentials to the most vulnerable under fire in the Holy Land.

Four British nationals were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents in a remote stretch of Somerset County Woods in Canada after illegally crossing from Canada into the United States on April 3. Federal Court documents filed this week reveal. One of them captured the whole thing on a GoPro camera narrating a celebration of the group that set foot on American soil. Quote, I can confirm you are now on U.S. soil. What are their names and what were they up to? Well their names didn't end with Goldberg, Stein, Weiss, or Strauss. Their names didn't end with Dominique, O'Brien, Smith, or Franks, Ali Muhammad, Ali Abdullah. They were on the Golden Road at say 90 miles, primarily unpaid private logging road in Maine stretching from Minnecocket. They went to Quebec. The unidentified Maple Sugar workers flagged down a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officer. By 9.40 a.m. the same workers had returned to the U.S. side with more intelligence. A third man had told them that two men in gray Nissan parked on the Golden Road were asking passerbyes for fuel and Wi-Fi so they could contact the people they were supposed to pick up. A Border Patrol agent and the CBP, the officers loaded up a marked patrol vehicle headed south, followed the footprints in the soft dirt, a mile marker, 87, they found the men themselves. Four individuals attempted to conceal themselves in roadside vegetation. Wow. I'm sure they were up to go there. Just picking lettuce, Mr. Producer. We need illegal aliens to pick lettuce. Identified as Ali Muhammad Ali Abdullah, 18 from Liverpool, England. Hamid Muhammad Najee Ibrahim Ayub, and another Yabba Dabba Doo. All British nationals, according to the court documents. Britain is dead, France is dead, Austria is dead, Sweden is dead, New Jersey is dying, Michigan is dying, Canada is dead, Australia is dead. That's right.

He's all over the media today, lying, scheming, undermining. They just are under attack. Excuse me, they're just attacking. They've got absolutely no agenda that the American people want. They have an agenda the American people don't want. And let me be clear, this, this Scamburger who is the governor of Virginia, her polls are tanking, even though it's a purple state really tipping toward a blue state, her polls are tanking because she lied. And yet the Democrats are her. They're her. They have a lot of people running for office pretending to be moderate, pretending to want to cut taxes, pretending to support securing the border and on and on and on, who don't support any of that? She's Scamburger for a reason. As I said, my nickname, thank me very much. She's a Scamburger. And they're being told, do whatever you have to do, say whatever you have to say, just get elected, we need to take over. Here's Hakeem Jeffries cut three. Go. A two week ceasefire is not sufficient. Hold on, not sufficient for what? For what? Go ahead. A permanent end to Donald Trump's costly and reckless war of choice. It's just disgusting. It's just disgusting what these people say. We need a permanent end to Donald Trump's costly and reckless war of choice. So that could be coming out of the mouth of these woke right types, right? It's not a war of choice. It's a war of preemption because the enemy is building up. You don't have to wait to be attacked. So tiresome. Go ahead. Democrats are committed to bringing about that outcome. So the Democrats right now would withdraw. They leave Iran alone. The straight show hormones would be under their control. The Chinese would come and build up their ballistic missiles and the nuclear missile. We saw what the Democrats would do. He doesn't need to tell us what they would do. We saw what they did. And what they would do is ensure that that regime was heavily funded, heavily funded that oil sales would continue, and that that regime would exist to continue to slaughter its people and threaten our country. And by the way, threaten not just Israel, but the Arab countries now. So that's the Democrat position. The Democrat position is the Obama position and the Biden position. That's what it is. Give them the nuclear weapons like Obama did and give them $140 billion like Biden did. That's the official Democrat party position. Go ahead. Upon our return, we will force another vote on the House floor around the war powers resolution that will compel the Trump administration to cease military hostilities. And if they succeeded that, of course, they need the Senate to. But if they succeeded that, the president should say, that is unconstitutional. And we are not going to adhere to it. And you can take your case to the Supreme Court. We're in the middle of a war. You never took this position under Biden. Never. In Ukraine. You never took this position under Obama when he was bombing the hell out of Libyan, so forth. You never have taken this position under a single Democrat president. And now you take it and you claim that your position, that your position is compelled by the Constitution. No, it's not. And so my advice to the president would be, thumb your nose at them and litigate it. Then there's this guy, Representative Ro Khanna. He was on TV yesterday. This guy's a media whore. In fact, he's a, you know what, without the media part. And he's out there desperately trying to draw attention to himself and he has succeeded. He's on my radar now. He wants a wealth tax. He hates Jews in Israel, even though the Hill newspaper and the Hill podcast is run to his defense, but that's just another disaster. He wants Trump impeached or removed by the 25th Amendment. He's a very stupid man. When I don't have a story about him, Mr. Producer, let's see here. Hold on a second. Didn't he make a fortune in office too? Hold on, let's see. Let me see here. I got this. Bear with me. Bear with me, America. We're live and national. I'm trying to find it. Hmm. Think you have it, Rich? We're both looking for it. We have a whole list of things here. I apologize, folks, but we're gonna, I don't find it soon. I'll move on and then we'll circle back. But I don't see it up there on my list. Maybe I didn't. Anyway, apparently old row, it's not that old actually, made more money faster on stocks than Nancy Pelosi. That's my recollection of the piece. More money and faster. All these guys are frauds and phonies. All these people want to enrich themselves. All these people act like they're self-righteous. They are evil and they are narcissistic. That's what they are. Evil and narcissistic. Let's listen to this putz. Row, Kana, cut four, go. Are you confident that the U.S. and Iran are on the same page when it comes to the ceasefire? Well, we obviously aren't, but I'm relieved that the president has this ceasefire, that he didn't follow through on his illegal and immoral threat. So it's illegal now to do what's constitutional, and it's immoral to try and prevent this regime from slaughtering its own people, spreading terrorism, and getting nukes to shoot at our country. This is a guy that has no moral core. He's a relic to the old left. He's unknown throughout the country. So he wants to be a new AOC. He wants to transition to an AOC. He wants to be an AOC in pants, although I think she wears pants too. Maybe a dress. I'm not saying he wears a dress, and if he does, that's up to him. But he's a liar and a stooge. That much I do know. We're going to take a break and we're going to see if we can find that. We'll be right back. You know, folks, I've been working with Pure Talk for six years now. Boy, time flies. I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values. Pure Talk is a veteran-led company, so helping veterans is their North Star. Now, they've donated over half a million dollars to America's Warrior Partnership, a fantastic organization that is on the front lines of helping to prevent veteran suicide. Pure Talk's creating American jobs with a U.S.-only workforce. Sure to be a lot cheaper to send jobs overseas like other companies do, but they're committed to delivering the best experience possible for their customers here in the United States. And yes, I love Pure Talk's service. They give you the same towers, same network, same 5G coverage. It's one of the big guys, but for a fraction of the price. I choose to do business with a company that shares my values, your values, helping support veterans every single day in creating American jobs. How about you?

What is that? How the hell do I know? Apparently it's a financial site. Benzinga. Here's the headline. It must be overseas because it's 212 a.m. is the time on that. And of course, where April, is it April 9th? Today or 8th? Let's see. It's the 9th? Okay. Nancy Pelosi overtaken by Ro Khan is 112% AI stock outperformance versus S&P 500. There's a new king, says Anthony Papaliano. No Islamist he, by the way. Roy Kahana has managed and has emerged as the top performing congressional stock trader in AI related investments. Let's see during his media whore tour. Let's see if Roy Kahana is asked any question by anybody about this. He's outperformed the S&P 500 and surpassing Nancy Pelosi according to data highlighted by Anthony Papaliano on Wednesday. Roy Kahana leads Congress and AI stock outperformance. A pro cap insights analysis of congressional stock disclosure shows Kahana's AI focused trades delivered a staggering 112.1% excess return over the S&P 500 from January 2024 through April 2026. So here we have a Marxist POS who's run into the bank. How did he do it, America? I'm certain it's not insider training. That performance, Farx seeds Pelosi's 38.5. Let me put this out there, Mr. Producer. Let's do this together, America, shall we? Because this guy, Roy Kahana, he's like a stalker that I have to deal with. Hey, Roy, or, I should call him, hey, Roy, please explain this, please explain this extraordinary extraordinary profit on your AI investments. I mean, at least during one of your scores of media appearances the last few days. With me, Mr. Producer, it is reported that you are the king of, what is he the king of? Stock investments? You're the king of stock profits, surpassing Queen Pelosi. Do share your brilliance with the rest of us. What do you think of that, Mr. Producer? Please share your brilliance and technique with the rest of us, period. I will let you know if this, I mean, if this congressman responds, America, because we'd all like to take advantage of his genius. I mean, do we actually have to run for Congress to become rich? Do we? Let's go on with the piece, shall we? The data tracks alpha or returns above the broader market specifically tied to investments in artificial intelligence related companies. When I think of Roy Kahana, I do think of artificial intelligence. In fact, I think of stupidity. Sharing the data on ex Pampliano, CEO of professional capital management wrote Nancy Pelosi, take a seat. There's a new king in town when it comes to congress members being abnormally good traders. He added that Kahana has, quote, destroyed the S&P 500 since January 2024. The post quickly gained traction online, drawing a brief response from Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, who replied, wow. Yeah, because he knows it's BS2. The outsize returns highlighted in the report could fuel ongoing scrutiny of whether members of Congress should be allowed to trade individual stocks. Look, the issue for me is this member of Congress, how he made such a fantastic profit, way outperforming the S&P and way outperforming Queen Nancy Pelosi. How did that happen? How did it happen? The S&P DR S&P 500 trust posted a 16.6% gain in 2025, delivering a strong year for investors. But several members of Congress outpaced the benchmark through their stock trades during the same period. You know what? We are surrounded by crooks. That's the bottom line. These are not experts at trading. These are crooks. Now, they have legalized their crooked behavior, but they're crooks. According to a report from unusual whales, Republicans posted average gains of 3%, Democrats 14.4%. Notably, the top performing lawmakers delivered returns that were more than double the S&P 500's annual performance. Among the standout traders were Representative Warren Davidson, Republican Ohio, who led with 78.8%, followed by Donald Norcross, Democrat New Jersey, 70.8%, followed by Terry Swell or Seawall, Democrat Alabama, 67.9%. But nobody beat Rokana. He had 112%. Wow, he led the field because of his genius, as we've heard. We've heard many clips of this man. This absolute brilliance. In fact, let's see here. Bear with me. Let's do this clip again. Cut forward. Let's see how smart this guy is. Go. Doesn't he sound like an idiot to America? Sounds like an idiot to me. He has trouble following what's going on in Iran. He's sort of mumbling over his talking points. Staff went over them. I'm sure very carefully with them. When he asks you this, say that. When he says that, say this. But in any event, he's gotten very, very rich in ways that even Nancy Pelosi, the former speaker, couldn't pull off. This has to be looked at, Congress. 112% on AI stock performance, way over the S&P 500, way over Pelosi. She's like the standard for corruption, in my humble opinion. In my humble opinion, that's all my humble opinion. She was at 38. something other percent, 38.5%. In the same period where this guy was at 112.1%, excess return over the S&P 500, January 2024 through April 2026. I smell a ratfink. And that ratfink is Rokana. And another show that he appears on, if they don't ask him about this and they don't grill him about this, then you know they're complete and utter frauds. Speaking of which, we have Gregory Meeks. One would only hope he was Meek, but he's not. He's a Democrat from New York. He's on the Constipated News Network today. Cut five, go. What I think Kushner and Wickoff has done all over, they have helped make Trump and his friends wealthy because every deal was transactional. Has anybody asked this man about his friend, Rokana? I just wonder if the media are going to follow up on this. I really do. What we know is the two spectacular stock stars in the House of Representatives over the last several years have been Pelosi and Rokana, two Democrats. And this guy, Gregory Meeks, he never asks a question about either of them. Either of them. Now, it's clear if the Democrats take the House, they're going to gun for Wickoff, they're going to gun for Kushner, obviously for the president. They're going to gun for everybody they can get their hands on. We've seen this before. But when it comes to their own, no, they're Helen Keller. They're Helen Keller. But the Democrats have made clear what they're about, impeachment, investigations, subpoenas, grand juries, whatever they can do, whatever they can get, the media are going to love it. And they hope to pave the way to the 2028 presidential election. That's what they're up to. So they can elect somebody like a scam burger of Virginia, who pretends to be one way and is another. By the way, that would be Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania. No different than this scam burger in Virginia. He's a complete fraud. I'll be right back.

The Mark Levin Show, live and national at 877-381-3811. That's a big story on the debt. And let me go find that. Bear with me. Count the 12. No, just bear with me. We'll get this in a minute. There we go. All right. All right. All right. Of course, when you need it, it's... Here it is. By fortune, the U.S. government is spending $88 billion a month in interest on national debt equal to spending on defense and education combined. Combined. The problem with an increasing debt burden is it costs money to maintain it. This is precisely the issue with which the U.S. Treasury is wrangling at present. A total U.S. national debt takes a $39 trillion. To be true, it folds closer to $300 trillion, but we've talked about that before, all the unfunded entitlements. The interest payments on that value are eye-watering, $529 billion for the first six months of the current fiscal year. So you're looking at over a trillion dollars by the end of the year on interest alone. On interest alone, bigger than the defense budget and education budget combined. A new budget update from the Congressional Budget Office released yesterday highlights that the government, according to preliminary estimates, paid out the near $530 billion between October of last year when the fiscal year starts in March just this past month. That's $88 billion in interest payments a month, or $22 billion a week. Now do you understand why I keep talking about diversification? That you ought to have some hard assets? Now you understand why I'm talking about the trajectory of silver and gold and how you need to protect your money, your investments, your hard work. The service payments on the public debt are roughly equal to spending for the same period on both the Department of Defense's military budget and the Department of Education. Those two outlays contribute the cost of $461 billion and $70 billion respectively. The net interest payments on public debt are also increasing at a pace. For the same period last year, the Treasury paid $497 billion. So it's up $33 billion or more than 7% this coming year. How are we going to get out of this? Well, we may not. Then what? Now I buy gold and I buy the coins and I buy coins that can be used as currency. So it has a double use in my view, just in case. No, that's not nutty. That's smart. It's not nutty. It's smart. That's why I diversify. The Congressional Buzz-It Office, their report notes, service payments increased because the debt was larger than it was in the first hit of the fiscal year 2025 because higher long-term interest rates, declines in short-term rates, partially mitigated it, but short-term rates don't matter over the long haul. That's why there's short-term. The CBO's latest, by the way, this is one of the reasons the President has these tariffs in place and one of the reasons what the Supreme Court did was not only failed to follow the Constitution and precedent, but they completely undercut his effort to pay down the debt. He didn't create all this debt. Actually, Biden created a lot of it, but nonetheless, it just keeps chugging along almost in a rote matter. And one of the reasons he put tariffs in place is to try and start to pay down the debt. Efforts being made to rebalance the books with the likes of President Trump's tariffs playing a role, but the Supreme Court just killed that. The CBO's last monthly update showed that receipts for the first half of the year totaled $2.5 trillion. That's an increase of $223 billion on the same six-month period last year. So the problem isn't one of taxes or income. They have plenty of taxes and plenty of income. The problem is the outlay. Outlays have also increased, $84 billion and so forth. I won't bore you to death. The update did little to impress the likes of Maya McGinnis, President of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Statement, she said, both Congress and the President continue to ignore the urgent need to that's a lie. The whole point of the tariffs is to rebalance not just our national debt, but the nature of how other countries do business with us. And Trump is trying. He said that Supreme Court ruling cost us half a trillion dollars, which he wanted to use to pay down some of the debt. Do you know of any other politician who's trying to pay down the debt? Maybe there's a handful in the House or Senate, but that's it, right? The Democrat party doesn't think the debt exists and they want to spend more, tax more, borrow more. My God, if they get elected, what a disaster on every friggin level. It's just hard to even imagine. Hard to even imagine what these people will do and they will do it. They don't care. Yeah. Instead now they're trying to actually remove Trump from office. Now, even if they get the votes in the House to impeach, they're not going to have the votes to remove unless they have an overwhelming landslide in the Senate because you need 60. But they'll impeach anyway. They don't care. They're trying to destroy his presidency. They're trying to throw a wrench into his progress. They're just trying to do everything they can. Every waking moment they have and their nightmares and their dreams are how do we destroy Donald Trump personally and professionally? They come up with their slogans. They're one-liners. They're bizarre arguments and they'll flip them that he's about to commit genocide and now of course he's a chicken. They'll take the same position under a Democrat. We got to get rid of these nukes and reverse course under Trump. What nukes? What's the problem? What's the problem? It's a big problem. They're the problem. You've got Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey and Representative Seth Moulton who was a moderate quote unquote in the Massachusetts, out of the Massachusetts political system. He was a moderate so-called in the House. Now he's gone full left wing just like this Roe Connard. They don't fight it. They don't have any principles. You know, they're not statesmen. They're not a John Federman who stands up to this stuff. No, they want to get ahead of it. So they abandon everything they've ever said or believed in. Gregory Meeks, there's another loser. Just terrible. I'll be right back. You know, folks, I've been working with Pure Talk for six years now. Boy, time flies. I wanted to work with a wireless company that shares my values. Pure Talk is a veteran-led company so helping veterans is their North Star.

We'll have to carry this over to hour three, our power hour. Here we have Marjorie Trader Gangreen on with Alex Jones. Together they have an IQ of a hamster. Cut 10 go. We have to be realistic about the Republican party. The Republican party needs burned to the ground. It's completely controlled. As a matter of fact, much of Congress is controlled by APAC and by Zionist. And that is a serious... Do you believe this? So the Congress, the Republicans are controlled by the Jews. How racist and anti-Semitic is that? How stupid is that? I just think about it. Israel's an ally. They're fighting side by side with our soldiers, our airmen, our sailors. They're a democracy. When you open the Bible, the Holy Land is Israel. So we have a special connection with that country. Many of us, our faiths, have a special connection with that country. If you're Christian or Jewish or not, it's only normal, rational, that we would have a close connection with that country. And she says that because we have a close connection, that the Jews control Congress? Seriously? Go ahead. You, the American people, don't control your own government and those you elect. They're controlled by donors that have one specific interest and that is Israel. All right, that's enough. That's enough. This woman says she's maga. She's been officially removed. What Donald Trump did today in calling out four specific individuals, and I'm sure you could call out more, is to do what William F. Buckley did with the John Birch Society, with Papu Cannon, and others. He de-platformed them. Well, you could de-platform and cancel people. We don't believe in cancel culture. We sure as hell do. When people are Nazis or neo-Nazis or when they just say the dumbest damn things that are damaging to the president and the presidency, of course, you can de-plat for them or cancel them. We're not required to embrace them or listen to them. The president has thrown them out of maga. He's made it abundantly clear. It's a movement Donald Trump started, and none of them contributed to it. You want to know the truth. They benefited from it. Cut 11 more of Marjorie Trader gangrene. Go. All the things that happened. We supported him through thick and thin, and that is... No, you hung on to him. You used to hang out at Mar-a-Largo. You would hang out with him. Carlson couldn't show up at enough of his golfing events and his UFC appearances. They all wanted to go on Air Force One. I've never been on Air Force One, and the president even said, Mark, you got to take a trip with me. One of these days, I might, but it's not... These people are like complete social animals with an emphasis on animals. They want to be seen with him. They like the trappings of the presidency. They want him to pick up the phone every time they call. They want to go to the White House over and over again. They want to be at Mar-a-Largo. They want to be on the jet. They want to this. They want to... And then they pretend by them grifting off the president that the president needed them. How many of you voted for Donald Trump because of Marjorie Trader gangrene? None of you. How many voted for Donald Trump because of Trader Tucker Kataralsen? None of you. How many of you voted for Donald Trump because of Alex Fadass Jones? None of you. And I can go down the list. How many even know who David Smith is? Nobody. Nobody. They're known in a little bubble in a little world on the internet, and they think they're so important. They're not important. Period. Go ahead, please. Glued people to think they have to support him through anything and everything, and that's wrong. That's not true, is it? The vice president before he was vice president, before he was a Senate candidate, said some very awful things about the president. Now he's vice president. Kataralsen said some very horrendous things about the president. They came out in these texts. And not so recently is the president distanced himself from him because he's a nut. That's why. And you go right down the list. Right down the list. He's actually very, very loyal. They're disloyal, and most of all, they're disloyal to you. How many of you have bought their products? How many of you have subscribed to their programs? How many of you got sucked in by these people? All of us, right? All of us. Well, they're taking a different path, and we ain't going there. I'll be right back. His operation, Epic Fury, intensifies. 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.

Under the brick and steel of a non-descript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number on the power hour, 877-381-3811-877-381381. So I've been waiting for this. I'm like a kid in a candy store, a toy store. I haven't even told Mr. Producer. So I have an especially large American flag, Mr. Producer, for my lapel when I do my TV show and my Liberty's Voice video podcast. It's about five times as big as the typical flag lapel pen. And it's beautiful. It's made of rubies and sapphires and diamonds and 18 karat gold. You don't sound impressed, Rich. I didn't wear it today. I'm going to wear it for Saturday and Sunday on Life, Liberty and Levin. And I'm holding it in my hand and it's so impressive that probably while I'm doing the show on Saturday, hold on now, there's my beautiful wife. Come over here, sweetheart. Hello, America. Hello, America. Say hello. Hello, America. How are you? What day is it? It's Thursday. Can you believe that? By the way, that's a beautiful blouse. I haven't seen you for about seven or eight hours. We both work. She's the general counsel of America First Legal Foundation. And you love it, don't you? I love it. And guess what? Come to the mic. We started a podcast. Oh, you did? We did. And it's called The Arena with America First Legal. The Arena. And your group was founded by Stephen Miller, correct? It was co-founded by Stephen Miller and Gene Hamilton. Gene Hamilton, who we've had on the program, was great. He's really great. Very, very, very smart. We have a lot of very smart and dedicated attorneys at AFL. You're pretty smart yourself, you know. Wow. Everything I do goes through you. I don't sign a damn thing. No contracts or anything without her looking at you. You want to know why? Number one, you're smart as hell. Number two, I'm bored looking at that stuff. I'm there with the Constitution, my head's in the clouds. And she said, well, clause three, section five, little a. Did you see this? Of course not. Right? That is a true statement. All right, beautiful. I love you. Give me a kiss. I love you too. Okay. See you later, America. All right. Do you like this flag? I don't think you've ever seen this. It's beautiful. I'm going to start wearing this on Fox. Have you ever seen this? I have not. I hid it from you. Well, did you hear that, America? I hid it from her. Yes. But I'm going to wear it on Fox. I don't mean on Fox. I'm going to wear it on myself, on Fox. You know what I mean. So, it's in fact, it's so big and heavy, it might pull the lapel down, Mr. Producer. We're going to make it work. We're going to make it work. Our man, Dave Paterouche and Josh Trumppower, they know how to do this, don't they? And they'll work with Rich. All three of them. Three of them are pretty smart. Very smart. All right. Let's go back to Marjorie Trader Gangrene. On with Alex, bankrupt, Jones, bankrupt because of decisions made as a result of the horrendous shooting and murder of these little kids, among others, in Connecticut. I think he said it was a false flag operation. I'm not sure. You can Google it, but these are the kind of low lives we're dealing with. These are the kind of low lives we're dealing with. And they'll turn on a dime if they think they can grift off or something. Right, Alex. Alex. What do you think, Alex? Yeah, yeah. What do you do? Info wars. That's right. We're the only ones in other troughs here. Pasta booze. Well, yeah, give me some. Yeah, give me that sandwich. Bologna sandwich. Yeah, that's what I want. I can't do Marjorie Trader Gangrene. She's kind of got a butchy voice, but it's just not one I can do. It's not one I would practice. I don't practice any of them, of course, but it's not one I would do. Who's that guy that does Tucker so well? What is that guy's name? Online. You remember Mr. Ami? I'd Kovac, I think. We got to get him on the show. He is so good. Can you find him rich, you think? Rich can find anybody. Let's go back to Marjorie Trader Gangrene. Cut 11 go. All the things that happened, we supported him through thick and thin and we supported him and if it wasn't for me, Marjorie Trader Gangrene, he never would have been elected. 99.9% of the world doesn't have the foggiest idea who the hell this woman is. And the media used to hate her. They used to mock her for the full that she is. But now they platformer on the view on CNN, on MSNOW and everywhere else. She's so smart now. Go ahead. Glue people to think they have to support him through anything and everything. Nobody said that. Nobody said that, Moron. Nobody has ever said that. It's different if you have a difference of opinion. You stab him in the back repeatedly. You attack his character. You attack his lifestyle. You attack him relentlessly. And now you're playing victim. You notice they all play victim? All of these fools, buffoons, reverberates, misgrants, malcony, they all play victim. Oh, he's out to get me. Oh, the Jews are coming for me. Oh, the Zionist Christian act. I don't know what are we going to do. Go ahead. Silly wrong. The American people have to open their eyes. And notice how she speaks for and to the American. She's on Alex Jones. What's he have? 12 listeners, viewers, misguided. She's talking to the American people for the American people. This is a quitter. She quit Congress, but just in time to get her full pension, even though she's worth millions and nobody figured out how she did that. That's okay. Marjorie, you're just fantastic. We don't know who the hell you are. We don't know what the hell you stand for. You don't know what the just remember what she said prior to the break. Burn down the Republican party. We're going to burn down the Republican party. She sounds like a mental patient, literally like a mental patient. Just like Jeff. I mean, you got Alex Jones interviewing Marjorie Trader Gang Green. Do they not sound like mental patients? Yeah, that's right. Marjorie. Actually, they sound like each other now that I think about it. Go ahead. The reality and deal with truth. And the truth is, look, you may have supported President Trump for 10 years like I did, like you have, but this is not the same man. But I turned on him and I stabbed him in the back and I insist that you join me, America. All three of you viewers out there, I really do. I insist on it. And who are you? She's a nobody and never has been in and never will be. Here's the bottom line. She wanted to run for the Senate in the Republican primary. She wanted Donald Trump's support. He said, you can't win. I'm not going to do that. So she turned on him, turned on him and started attacking him, undermining him, stabbing him in the back over and over and over again. And finally he reacted. He didn't change. She's a buffoon. Anybody who watches Alex Jones and thinks about what he did about that horrendous mass murder in Connecticut, you need to check your own morals and ethics. Then you got Kataralsen. This guy's gone from a rock, rib, conservative Republican to a guy that's promoting Sharia law. Now that doesn't just happen unless you have a very severe head accident. But that doesn't just happen. Nobody believes that just happens. You go from loving Israel to hating Israel to loving Katar to loving Iran to loving Putin. That's not normal. None of these people are normal. Bannon? Bannon's a crook. He's confessed to being a crook. Just saying, ladies and gentlemen, just saying. I'll be right back. Much love in. It's a pleasure to have one of the good guys on the program, Buck Sexton. Buck, how are you, my friend? I'm great, Mark. Thank you so much for having me on. The King of Conservative Books. I get an audience with the man himself. I am very honored. Well, you're very kind. You have a great background here. I want everyone knows who you are. But just in case you worked at the CIA, right? Yes. So I joined the CIA right out of college post 9 11. I was part of that generation of Americans who decided to try to serve a lot. Well, obviously went into the military and served in uniform. I went right into the agency out of college and in the book, actually, Manufacturing Delusion. For the first time, Mark, I got the agency. I obviously had to clear everything through them. And that took about six months beyond, you know, what I thought it would. But I cleared everything, including my first deployment in Nigeria, doing counterterrorism work as a kid in his 20s. So it was quite a time, my friend, the GWAT, as we call it, was quite a time. But that's very patriotic. And did you explain to the yard, did you work at the headquarters at all in Virginia? Yeah, I was I was based at a Langley for the most part. And so I was part of the directorate of intelligence and working in at first the counterterrorism center, which was the Nigerian mission. And then I worked in the Iraq office and then the Afghanistan office. So I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, respectively, as part of those part of those offices. So I mean, it was it was a fascinating time. Obviously, it was a Bush administration and then into the Obama administration. And I got to say, there's some lessons and some some thoughts that that come to bear today, obviously, from all of that. And and certainly dealing with crazies in the Middle East, that hasn't changed very much. No, and you can feel your knowledge and experience throughout this book, it's very, very important. The book's called Manufacturing Delusion. You can get it on amazon.com, any major bookstore, Manufacturing Delusion, which is really crucially important. It's about propaganda and brainwashing, indoctrination. What motivated you to write this book? So it came out of a covid, really, because I looked around and and Mark and I would listen to your show during covid. And I would listen to voices of people who were who were saying things that were not just not just correct or even rational, but but sane. And there was such a clear push of millions of people in this country into the grips of mass hysteria, mass delusion, mass formation, psychosis, you know, oh, put the mask on before you go to the table at the restaurant, but then sit at the table and take the mask off or on the plane, mask up between bites or have we can go through this week, you do hours and hours on just this, right? But I said, you know, it's not just covid because, you know, the publisher to their credit, they're like, look, we don't need another covid book. We don't need that. I said, no, no, it's not about that, though. It's also the delusions of people who think the climate change is going to destroy the planet, or the delusions of people who think that Israel is the great evil that is behind everything going on in the world in the Middle East, you know, here, wherever, or the delusions of people who think that the BLM movement is somehow representative or, you know, its criticisms are representative of law enforcement or broadly. These are all delusions and they're pushed, they're manufactured delusions, which is how we came up with the title for the book, using the same kind of playbook mark, the same totalitarian propaganda tactics, if you will, that the Soviets used, that communist Chinese, and there have been some brilliant psychiatrists, information warfare experts, people in that field throughout the 20th century who looked at these tactics in those totalitarian societies and then said, hey guys, yeah, we don't have a gulag here in the West, but there are these tactics that are used to also control your mind. You have to see things like isolation, identity, identity construction, there's Mentoside is one of the chapters in the book, which is the killing of the mind, all these different things that are done to people to get them to believe the stuff that we all can recognize is crazy. And I know everyone listening remembers people during COVID, but also Democrats in general, I mean, men cannot have vaginas, Mark, we all know this, right? But the Democrats do not know this. So that's another chapter, by the way. Hello, there's some I've talked about, I think, who do, but that's a whole other story. This is a great book and I'll tell you one of the things I really got out of this book. It makes you much more aware when this is being done to you, because I think the vast majority of people, you know, they're living their lives and so they don't expect this sort of thing to happen. But it does happen. I feel like the Democrat Party in particular is really expert at this kind of brainwashing that you're talking about. No? Oh, absolutely. One of the things that comes up again, going, this isn't just me saying, oh, they're brainwashing because they're making stuff up. I really want to look at the psychological processes. So I start with Pavlov, fascinating guy. I mean, someone that I think people should go back and yeah, people here, they'll say, oh, the bell and the dog and the and the salvation. It was actually much more than that. And Pavlov was a Nobel laureate scientist. He was the most preeminent scientist of the Russian and then Soviet era. And they knew that Lenin knew it, Stalin knew it, and they tried to leverage his brilliance for their own purposes, basically saying, hey, we have the best scientists, because we're the most scientific regime, right? And then we had all the five year plans and the and the extermination of the of various classes that they viewed as enemies. Anyway, I could get on. Originally, Mark, the book was like 60, 60 pages deep on the Pavlov chapter, and they had to cut a bunch of it out. As you can see, I get I get passionate about this. But there's one thing I just want to share with your audience as a story again, the book, dogs that he was conditioning conditional reflex is actually what Pavlov called it, because he was looking at the way that the brain and the body interact. And so can you do something as a stimulus to get a physical reaction from a person such that you could control actions in the body without them even knowing or wanting to do it? And there was a flood and the dogs almost drowned in 1924 in St. Petersburg at Pavlov's lab. And what fascinated him and then became kind of an obsession afterwards was some of the conditioning that had been done over years to the dogs because of extreme trauma of thinking for hours, they're going to drown as the water is slowly rising, their conditioning is gone. And so all of a sudden, these dogs that they had done all this work with, in some cases, actually became quite docile if they had been more aggressive or they became aggressive if they had been docile, there were major personality changes. So what this did was a light went off. And unfortunately, the Soviets caught on to this, of course, Lenin and the others, hey, you know, if we keep people in a constant state of fear, if we keep the constant psychological pressure on, we can effectively rewire the masses. And then that goes on in China with the Maoist Revolution and what they did with their thought reform. And so, Mark, there's a lot of history. I mean, I've read all of your books. So I know you like history. There's a lot of history in this book, Manufacturing Delusion, that people will learn that I think though, I mean, where does the term brainwashing even come from? Most people just use it, they don't realize that it's a reference to what the Chinese were doing in the 1960s. This is not that far back. Folks, this is really a great book. It's very intriguing and compelling. You're going to learn a ton. I encourage you to get it Amazon.com, Manufacturing Delusion, have a left uses brainwashing and doctrination and propaganda against you know, to be perfectly honest, Buck Sexton, I've read a lot from Hannah or rent, I've read a lot from, you know, the developers of propaganda and so forth and so on in the 20s and there, but I learned a lot more from your book, believe it or not, because the swath of what you cover in here and I can see where this book could be twice as long was absolutely incredible. And so, when you're watching what the Democrats say, or you're watching how certain media figures conduct themselves, or you're watching a propaganda from some hostile country, you start to click into various chapters that you have here. Was that your intention? That was 100% the intention. It really, that's very kind of you by the way. And I put, you know, another from one guy to another. I actually wrote every word of this book. I know you write every word of your books, others don't go. I got a heartbreak. Pick up where you're leaving off, if you would, folks, during the break, go to Amazon.com, Manufacturing Delusion, you're going to love this book, have a left uses brainwashing and doctrination and propaganda against you.

Manufacturing Delusion, you get an Amazon.com right now, any major bookstore, have a left uses brainwashing and doctrination and propaganda against you. Let's hit this word brainwashing because you spend some time on it in the book with Edward Hunter. Who was Edward Hunter and what did he mean by this word? So he was an American journalist and he coined the term or he's credited with coining the term brainwashing, which is now, as we know, just in our lexicon and people refer to it all the time, but it was a neologism. It was essentially an inversion of the Mandarin for what the Chinese communists were doing at the time for wash brain. So it was wash brain and then he said, well, it's brainwashing and he came up with this. But the Chinese actually had their own term for it. I mean, they didn't call it that. That was what some of the people who had been subjected to it, their friends would say, oh, he's had a washed brain, but they called it thought reform. And thought reform is a very specific process really built on a framework of Soviet brainwashing. And by the way, all of the totalitarianism, which is so interesting, is have many of these things in common. Yes, the extreme violence and the suppression and the censorship, but if they try to indoctrinate people, the step by step process, because, you know, the communists, we're talking about communist brainwashing for the most part, the way that they do this follows a pretty specific playbook. So I get into that. There's a chapter in manufacturing delusion on brainwashing specifically on thought reform, I should say. But Mark, you know, one of the things I thought was so interesting was there's such a focus, for example, on even if they know you don't believe it, getting you to repeat the lie over and over, getting you to confess to things you didn't do. One of the fascinating case studies of some of the people subject, and by the I want to like get to in the book, I always take these things and by the end of the chapter, I'm like, this is what you're seeing is today, folks, media on campuses with the Democrat party, with the BLM movement in the streets, the tactics are borrowed from these totalitarians. But, you know, when you're looking at, for example, the forced confession or the role of confession in the brain washing, they would have in these Chinese communist cells during thought reform, they would have other agents of the communists in there with you, and they would be essentially shouting at you, and you know, you did all these terrible things, and they'd make you write out a confession. And usually the people would think, okay, they broke me. I'm writing out my confession. It's no, that's not enough. You're not sincere enough, they would say, and they'd make you go through it and write it out over and over again until it got crazier and crazier, because this is a way to un-mour you to undermine. Now, people say, what does this have to do with me, Buck, or what's going on today? Oh, I don't know. When you're on a college campus and they're sitting there telling all the kids all the time, America's a horrible racist place, and you have to write these papers, and you have to agree with this, and you have to go along with this parting line. People that want you, that want you mold your mind or coerce your mind, coercive persuasion is another way of talking about this. That's kind of the term of art, Mark, for the psychiatric community for this. They won't say brainwashing, because that's scary. They'll say coercive persuasion, and these tactics firehose of falsehood is one way to describe this. Force confession, those are things that are being done to people in our society. Look at the land acknowledgments. I'm not sure. Are you on Seminole land right now, or Iroquois land? You could tell me, but you could start every show, right? Who knows? With this apology, why do they do the forced apology? It is a bending of the knee. It is a confession of your sins to the left-wing deity that they create here, which is the state is all in one, sort of like an argument you would see in Liberty and Tyranny, for example. But anyway, yes, this is the elevation of a state above all things. What I'm so concerned about these days is when I wrote the book, it was so clear that the left had a whole range of these, and I lay them out, right? The gender stuff. The gender stuff is insane. Notice how though they'll say, it's just about courtesy. Just use the preferred pronouns. Just go along with the lie a little bit, but then you realize over time, we're all propagating this lie. And even if you don't believe it, now you're a part of this system, right? So there are those things, but the right has started to get a little crazy too. The right is starting to get a little kooky. People have asked me, why didn't you write about that in the book and give that warning? I'm like, look, this is a warning for everybody because manufacturing delusion lays out how the worst tyrants, the worst regimes in history, and also by the way, jihadists, which is something I studied very closely when I was in the CIA, how do they convince someone who's living in a suburb of London to strap a suicide bomb on himself and go blow himself up in Iraq when he's never even been there before? These same processes and pathways, but the right has started to fall victim to this on the fringe a little bit. And so it's, this is for me, this is how a society implodes from the inside. This is how things can get really ugly really quickly. So I do the book as a warning and the author of The Rape of the Mind, who is actually a fellow named Joost Mirloob, who was an information warfare specialist, fled the Nazis, Second World War in the Netherlands. He was Jewish. He changed his name to Joost and then he went to the UK and was part of the Dutch army in exile there. And he studied the Nazis. How did the Nazis do this to Germany? Very much, by the way, like Hannah Arendt, you mentioned origins of totalitarianism was necessary for me to read for this book. And one thing that he was very clear on was he said, look, they did this in Nazi Germany. They're doing this in the Soviet Union and they've taken it to the extreme, but in smaller levels and in smaller ways, they can do this in Western countries too. And he was writing that in the 50s. And it's being done right in front of our eyes. Is it not? That's the point. It absolutely is. That is the point. And we're seeing this now. The indoctrination stuff has gotten to a point. I mean, the gender stuff, I think, is where people have finally woken up. When you're actually seeing scientists, you know, and I guess we have to call them scientists, because technically they're backgrounds, who will go on TV and say, it's not established, not proven. And you know, you can even name some of the people I'm talking about, not proven that men have a biological advantage in the main, in general, over women in athletics. That's crazy. But really, it's about a racing gender distinction, which has been, as you know, a Marxist obsession for as long as there has been Marxism, to make a uniformity of everyone, like we're all widgets that just go in the big machine that can be totally controlled. And isolation is another one of the tactics, by the way, isolating us. Now, people say, I talk about isolating in communist thought reform jail cells or, you know, the North Koreans and how they do this to people to try to brainwash them. But isolation, Hannah Arendt wrote, can also be something called atomized subjects. These are people within our broader society who, yeah, they're physically around people. But because of the ideological forces on them, because of the constant propaganda, the constant indoctrination, they feel like they are entirely apart from, they feel like they are, and this is of course, part of the radicalization process, they feel like they're individuals who are separated from. And this is why, you know, people ask, well, how do I use this? How do I learn this? When people want to separate you from your faith, your history, your family, you know, who you are, when their belief system or when their political agenda starts messing with that stuff, then you know, then that's always the big bright red sign with a hammer and sickle going through it, that you got a real problem here. And it's being done by the left in our country. And we could sit and talk about all the different ways. So I find that also in the era of AI, and now the new era of, remember that the mass formation psychosis of the 20th century, you had mass psychosis coinciding with mass media. And Mark, I have to say, unfortunately, the radio in the wrong hands can be very Mao, of course, you know, the Nazis, the Soviets, the radio, they understand mass media is a critical component of this program of this way of shaping and coercing belief. And now with AI and TikTok and, you know, the thing in China and everything else, we have to be really on guard from global influences affecting us here at home and going after our kids, which they clearly want to do and trying to create dissension and disunity from within in our midst by just doing this via electrons, you know, via the internet and the platforms that exist and AI can fake so much now too. It's making it all, you know, the future of mass psychosis, I think, unfortunately, is one we have to be very prepared to fight against because once you get a society going nuts, we all know there is no bottom. And I worry and the left in this country has a left ever been more unhinged, Mark? You've been doing this longer than me. I don't think so. It's crazy. This is a great book, folks. Manufacturing delusion had a left uses brainwashing indoctrination and propaganda against you. You're going to learn a lot. There's a lot of history in here too. We're talking to Buck Sexton, you know that. And I notice in the book, you're focused on Stalin because Stalin did things in such a way that other dictators would kind of pick from him, right, in order to try and do the same thing. Oh, absolutely. First of all, I have one of the more interesting things in the research when I was doing this for the book was looking at the whole notion of a secret police force that would do your bidding and would essentially liquidate your enemies. You can take that back to Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century and the old Pritchiniki who he created Ivan. And by the way, Stalin was very aware of this history, right? I mean, you know, Josep Djugasbili, which was Stalin's name before he took on his sort of norm de guerre, he was very aware of that particular period of history because of its importance for Russia. And so Stalin's cult of personality, and really by the way, it started with Lenin. Stalin took it over. Lenin was the original and then Stalin put it on steroids, if you will, and obviously went forward with the mass liquidations. Fascinating little details about this that come out, though, I mean, his level of demagoguery. He wanted always to tell, he was everywhere, the posters were everywhere, and everyone had to be, you know, talking about how great he was. He always wanted, though, there to be these stories planted about how he didn't want any of this attention mark. Oh, no, Comrade Stalin, he's a very humble guy. He hates all these people talking about him because they were forcing everyone to live by lies, I mean, to borrow from Solzhenitsyn, who of course told us all to live not by lies, and one of the most important speeches, I think, given by any dissident in the 20th century. So, so Stalin's processes on this were so important. And I get into the show trials, by the way, an era that people should know, or, you know, that that should be much better taught in, I was just taught in schools these days, God knows what they're teaching in some of the schools, but, but Marchkowski and the show trials, why Mark have show trials when you could just liquidate these guys, right? I mean, did they could have just put them to take them out back and now, by the way, they did kill basically all of them, but they wanted to go through this process first. And they wanted to show people that they could break individuals so thoroughly that they would beg for their own execution in public after committing to crimes that everyone, including the prosecutors knew they had not committed. But that was the level of of of menticide, you know, murder of the mind or brainwashing that Stalin and his goons and his machinery of human destruction were able to achieve. And then of course, the Chinese took that and ran with it and North Korea took it and ran with it. And if you just look at the way the left operates in this country, there are so many of course there, you wrote American Marxism, there's so much crossover with Marxist theory and belief with the American left today, they are effectively Marxists. They also recognize I mean, Alinsky, I tactics and Gustave LeBon writing about how the crowd acts like an animal that has its many bodies, but one mind, Alinsky understood this and knew that if you could understand crowd psychology, you could mobilize these people for the purposes of politics using slogans, using chance and signs and all the stuff that we see with the purple hair weirdos with the nose rings and all the protests all the time at the No Kings protest. So all of these different pathways take us down unfortunately a road to destruction and hell and it's so important to see whether it is the tactic of isolation, whether it is identity construction, which is just another way of talking about radicalization indoctrination, essentially looking at for phobia, by the way, I haven't even talked about forced phobia again, barring from the psychiatric literature on this. Mark, we're all going to die from climate change unless you let these communist lunatic greens do whatever they want to do, right? Well, I mean, this is crazy, but now you have people who are getting introduced to The New York Times saying, I won't have kids because of the CO2 footprint. All right, I'm going to do something I've never done. Mr. Producer, let's bring Buck back next week. And I'm going to tell you why Buck, I didn't know you well. You're sharp as hell. This is a subject that I find absolutely fascinating in the extent of your knowledge on it, the depth of it is very, very important to me. And I think this book is very, very important to awaken as many people as possible because this is swirling around us every damn day. Manufacturing delusion, how the left uses brainwashing and indoctrination and propaganda against you. I would encourage you strongly go to amazon.com, any major bookstore, and we'll see if we can figure out how to get Buck back here next week because I want to discuss other aspects of this book. Really good job. Really good job. Mark, thank you so much. Honored to come back anytime, and I really appreciate you, sir. Thank you. Likewise. Likewise. God bless. And I'm not kidding. This is a great book. Excuse me. And you know, I read, this is what I do. I read, I read, and I read some more. I'm a nerd. This is a great book. Manufacturing delusion, amazon.com. Grab it now. We'll talk about it again next week because I think this is a very, very critical topic. And I think Buck is smart as hell, sharp as hell. I'm glad to have had him on. What do I owe you, Mr. Producer? Okay, sorry about that. We'll be right back. I like smart people and I like smart books, and that's Buck Sexton's book. So I encourage you to get a copy of that. We're going to have them back next week. That's how impressed I was. And we're going to have Elise Defonic on Saturday. She has a great book and a great story to tell as she's retiring from the House of Representatives. But tonight is Buck's night. So go to amazon.com. I encourage you to grab a copy. You're really going to, really going to appreciate it. I think we're out of time. Boy, did this show fly by. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, ICE! Certainly our men and women in Iran and that area. And God bless each and every one of you. Take care.
