4/8/26 - The Democrats' Agenda: Power Over Patriotism

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Sen Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are undermining our war effort for power. 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 rash and irresponsible. Their goal is not the defeat of Iran and the removal of a nuclear threat, but the defeat of the president and, if they can, his removal. Their purpose in all of this is to win the mid-term elections and destroy the Trump presidency, de-nuking Iran and protecting the American people be damned. Also, Levin is a huge fan of President Trump and doesn’t hide it. What he has done with Iran is historic, humane, and crucial, as with so many other important matters. He raised some points about the current phase involving discussions with Iran and point out some issues that will have to be addressed one way or the other and provided my opinion on that as well. He’s been completely transparent and straightforward. Unlike Mediaite’s Colby Hall who deceives, connives, and dupes. A partisan and leftist who pretends he's neither. And he's an individual who has accomplished little. Later, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate and won the election only to quickly impose radical left policies. This reveals the Democrat Party’s strategy: hiding its radical agenda in purple and red states until elected, then revealing it, with real-life consequences like crime, taxes, and population flight. Finally, Sen Lindsey Graham calls in and explains that past Iranian sanctions and oversight under Europe, Obama, and Biden failed, while Trump’s actions destroyed their progress and prevented further enrichment. Trump has Iran in a tight spot, and if they fail to comply in two weeks, Trump should seize Kharg Island, choke their economy, and resume military strikes. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, the media is pushing certain individuals as "MAGA influencers" who are troubled by President Trump and the Iranian war effort, despite polls showing 92% MAGA support. The left-wing, pro-Democrat, anti-Trump media amplifies these miscreants because they are stabbing Trump in the back and besmirching him. The media ignores overwhelming MAGA support and cobbles together this narrative using unknowns to undermine Trump, while countless genuine backers with real influence are omitted.  In breaking news, Trump announces that he has agreed to suspend the bombing and attack on Iran for two weeks. Iran responded and accepted the proposal and agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz via coordination with Iranian armed forces. But this 2-week ceasefire has already been violated by Iran.  Missiles are being fired into Israel and perhaps other countries in the region. Are they able to defend themselves? We have the right man as president, and he's probably furious about this. But this will be the question throughout -- that is, do we expect the Iranian regime to honor a deal, how will we monitor it, and how will we enforce it.  These will all be very difficult issues to resolve. Later, Dr. Brian Cox, a retired US Army military lawyer and Cornell Law adjunct, calls in and directly rebuts claims that the Israel-US strikes on Iran are illegal war crimes. A war crime requires the intent to intentionally direct an attack against a civilian person (not taking direct part in hostilities) or a civilian object. Most public evaluations wrongly overlook this need for clear evidence of intent by the attacker. For example, a recent attack on Iran's B1 bridge was widely called a war crime, but it does not qualify because the bridge served a dual purpose with military utility, making it a legitimate military objective rather than a purely civilian target.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the media are partisan activists hate the Constitution and the American people. Neither the Supreme Court justices during oral arguments for birthright citizenship nor the critical headlines offered any substantive counters, such as a single statement from the authors of the 1866 Act or 14th Amendment supporting universal citizenship for children of illegal aliens. If the Court constitutionalizes birthright citizenship for children of aliens or illegal aliens—something with no basis in the Constitution—it would enshrine a policy Congress has never enacted, leading to monumental consequences, including incentivized mass illegal immigration, exploitation by China through birth tourism, and future security risks from citizens with foreign loyalties holding sensitive positions. Also, did you know the American Revolution actually began well before 1776 and was, in fact, decades in the making? Did you know that we lost more battles than we won? Did you know only about 40-45% of the colonists supported the war?  One can only imagine what the "forever war" crowd today would have said and how they would've trashed George Washington and the patriots had they been roaming the earth back then. Later, a scandal has emerged over the extraction of two downed pilots in Iran, involving a leak that revealed the U.S. was searching for them. The leak endangered the second pilot’s life, as the enemy was previously unaware, forcing a race against time to rescue him before they could act.  Trump stated that the media company which released the information must surrender it under national security grounds or face jail. The First Amendment does not provide immunity from prosecution in national security cases. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the war against the Iranian regime, though only a few weeks old, is going very well. Voices of despair—some genuine, many contrived—are widespread but do not reflect broad reality. The President’s base remains solidly supportive. Opposition comes loudly from Democrats, Woke Reich isolationists and a public heavily influenced by uniformly negative media coverage and social media operations. Premature cessation of this war would be devastating, allowing the regime to rebuild with aid from China, Russia, and North Korea, delivering a major victory to the Axis of Evil. The U.S. needs to stay the course. A premature end to the Operation Epic Fury, without fully eliminating the regime, risks repeating the mistakes after World War I, when a devastated Germany gave rise to the Third Reich and led to World War II and the Holocaust. Meanwhile, we have the opposition in America from the neo-fascists, Marxists, Islamists, Woke Reich, and parts of the media who are trying to tie the administration’s hands by opposing any troops, regime change, or action on the uranium, effectively ensuring America cannot win. President Donald Trump is trying to take the reins with an executive order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship only to those born here to actual citizens or legal permanent residents. This isn’t just a legal matter; it has profound implications for our elections. Democrats see an opportunity here, they’re ready to exploit our immigration system to pad their voter rolls. In addition, one of the notable trends surrounding birthright citizenship involves Chinese nationals who are increasingly using this provision to secure U.S. citizenship for their children. Peter Schweizer describes this as a phenomenon occurring on an industrial scale. Such a trend raises pressing concerns about national security and the long-term consequences for American institutions. Also, Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed compared the radicalism of Iran to the MAGA movement. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, a U.S. F-15 has been downed in a desolate area of Iran. One crew member has been successfully rescued, while search efforts continue for the second. President Trump declined to discuss specifics of the ongoing search and rescue operation and said that the incident would not affect negotiations with Iran. Also, the White House has requested $1.5 trillion for defense in the new budget. This is a great proposal - national defense is the federal government's top responsibility.  Later, the Democrats are telling us, repeatedly, that if they win the House, they will impeach the president and conduct a reign of terror against all who work for him, all who have worked for him, and do everything possible to cripple his presidency. We should not roll over and play dead as they burn down the country. Afterward, Mayor Zohran Mamdani released an Easter statement that completely omitted any mention of Jesus Christ, despite Easter specifically celebrating Christ's death and resurrection. This statement was issued intentionally on Good Friday, part of a deliberate pattern by the Muslim mayor of New York City. Finally, Col Allen West calls in to give an update on how the military is conducting their search and rescue mission for the missing F-15 fighter pilot. He also expresses his annoyance at the media Iran war coverage, viewing it as unconscionable criticism during active operations, akin to opposing troops on D-Day. Learn more about your ad choices.

This initiative comes with a staggering price tag of approximately $1.5 billion for taxpayers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in. The Artemis II launch was a pivotal moment for American space innovation. This four-member crew is gearing up for an ambitious 10-day journey that will take them around the moon and back, marking NASA's first crewed venture beyond low Earth orbit in over five decades. Also, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued an open letter to the American public, filled with typical propaganda remarks and condemnation of U.S. involvement in Iran. Pezeshkian's letter seems like a desperate attempt to sway American opinion and force a ceasefire. As the conflict escalates and shipping through the crucial Strait of Hormuz halts, we must remain focused on national security and resist calls for appeasement, prioritizing the safety and integrity of our nation.  Lastly, long airport lines and escalating worries about domestic threats weren’t enough to deter Senate Democrats from once again blocking funding for Homeland Security on Friday. This marks the fifth attempt by Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his Republican colleagues to reopen the agency. Their latest unsuccessful effort coincides with the Department of Homeland Security shutdown entering its 35th day.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, a premature end to the Operation Epic Fury, without fully eliminating the regime, risks repeating the mistakes after World War I, when a devastated Germany gave rise to the Third Reich and led to World War II and the Holocaust. Meanwhile, we have the opposition in America from the neo-fascists, Marxists, Islamists, Woke Reich, and parts of the media who are trying to tie the administration’s hands by opposing any troops, regime change, or action on the uranium, effectively ensuring America cannot win. Also, the U.S. and allies need to arm Iranian people immediately! One thing we can do, which Reagan did in Afghanistan, Angola, and Nicaragua, is arm the people in Iran so they are no longer butchered by these monsters without the ability to fight back!  They will rise up as a real fighting force, but they need weapons!  And it must be done immediately, especially if we are talking about ending our military operation in a few weeks! Later, it was announced that President Trump will give an Address to the Nation Wednesday on Iran. A President usually gives a speech like this if he’s changing course on the war.  Afterward, Judge Leon blocks Trump White House ballroom project for now. Leon is a former Republican staffer on Capitol Hill. A RINO. Finally, Rep Chip Roy calls in to give an update on his race for Texas Attorney General. Learn more about your ad choices.

The U.S. needs to stay the course. Meanwhile, the media and anti-Trump, anti-American military elements from both the radical right and left have reduced complex issues to simplistic slogans like "boots on the ground" or "forever wars," rather than engaging intelligently. This sloganeering is Marxist-Leninist propaganda techniques. The goal is preventing enemies from acquiring nuclear weapons through strength, not appeasement like paying billions, lifting sanctions, or begging. Also, where is the outrage over the slaughter of Christians in Syria and Nigeria, and the extreme brutalization of women and girls under Islamist ideology? This is deeply disturbing and shocking.  Afterward, the conservative and constitutional movements, the Republican Party, and the nation were far better off before the rise of podcasters like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and others. They are not true MAGA, populists, nationalists, or constitutionalists, but megalomaniacs and manipulators who are destroying the movement from within. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, President Trump is calling the shots in the Iran war. He acts in U.S. interests by viewing a nuclear Iran as a grave threat, and maintains a close alliance with Israel through military, intelligence, and personal ties with Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s not secretly controlled by the Israelis or an Israel lobby as Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson suggest. Also, Jack Smith's team secretly sought years of Kash Patel's, Sen Ted Cruz and other lawmakers phone records and other information. The Biden regime orchestrated a massive criminal assault on the American political system by targeting Republican senators, congressmen, the sitting president seeking re-election, and his associates. All three branches of government effectively colluded against Trump and his supporters—an unprecedented abuse never before seen in U.S. history. Later, after 47 years, the Iranian regime does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Even after its top and second-tier leadership has been wiped out and its military pounded, the regime refuses any deal and says no deal rather than surrender. Democrats and figures like Tony Blinken, Jen Psaki, Christopher Wray, Lloyd Austin, and Chris Murphy repeatedly warned that Iran would soon get nuclear weapons yet now undermine the current president who is acting. Even more disgusting are Woke Reich—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, and Joe Kent—who are traitors for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, spreading conspiracy theories, American hatred, and Jew hatred. Then, the only threat to DHS and TSA comes from the Democrat Party in Congress, amid a war with Iran. The Democrat Party does not care, as the party itself—not the country or working Americans—is its most important institution. They have decided to blackmail America – either cripple ICE or DHS won’t be funded. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
