On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, the war against President Trump has not stopped. We can’t let our guard down; he still has a whole bunch of cabinet nominees that have not yet been confirmed. Trump should get the people he wants, but the Democrats will try and stop all of them. The Democrat Party rejects the Judeo-Christian principles upon which this nation was founded; they promote the ideas of the Marxist. The Democrat Party hasn’t changed, and they won’t because it is an anti-American ideological operation. Later, the DOJ is said to be discussing dropping the case against NY Mayor Eric Adams. This was a petty case from the beginning. Robert Jackson once said it’s dangerous when you have prosecutors who focus on the man and not the law. They are the most dangerous people in any society because they have the power to indict with a grand jury. Afterward, Trump signed the Laken Riley Act and Trump announced up to 30,000 illegal immigrants will be sent to Guantanamo Bay. Finally, Professor Steven Calabresi calls in to discuss his new book, The Meese Revolution: The Making of a Constitutional Moment. The Meese Revolution is about the former attorney general’s brilliant and courageous revolution to reinstitute the Constitution in our legal and justice system.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. You know, I’m noticing that we have many of our brothers and sisters in media and elsewhere who are jubilant. We’re jubilant. I’m jubilant. But they’re letting their guards down. Donald Trump has a whole bunch of Cabinet nominees who have not been confirmed yet. Today. They went after Robert Kennedy jr. I’m not a Robert Kennedy jr. Ideological guy. But I decided to watch a lot of this hearing. And I was extremely impressed with the man. I don’t believe I’ve ever met him. But I was very express impressed, especially with the way he handled his fellow Democrats, particularly the more extremist among them. I can see how these Democrats are stretching and pulling and pushing and. Attacking him for how he litigated, attacking him for how he ran a foundation, asking him how he made his money. This is what they do. He also made it clear that there had been some private discussions when he met with certain senators. Issues resolved or dismissed as unimportant that they brought up during the hearing. And he said. You know, what you’re stating isn’t true. And the fact that you’re bringing it up now points it out. So they had these confidential meetings or at least private meetings. And for the Democrats, it doesn’t matter. Anything goes. I’ve told you before, my position on this is simple. Donald Trump should get the people he wants. This is a first round. We’re talking about cabinet secretaries here. And we hope they all work out. But he won the election. These are the people he’d like to have helping him. The Democrats are already slow walking a number of these nominees. They’ll let some through, like Rubio gets through 99 to 0 or they’ll let this one through or that went through. I saw Lee Zeldin got through today at EPA. Even he had. Almost 40 votes against him. So this is just part and parcel of what’s coming and what’s happening. Now, what do I mean? Their judges are acting up, whether it’s the judge in Seattle, the judge in Washington, D.C. And I’ll get to this pulling of the memo in a moment. It’s really no big deal. Just the meat is all excited. And then there’s the media. You know, I go to these various media aggregation sites. Including those by these so-called used to be called mainstream media, which we now know has nothing to do with the mainstream. They always have a negative twist, a negative title. They always lead with something that’s ominous about something that Donald Trump has done. His position on the illegal immigrants will drive up inflation and the cost of food. Always, always. If not looking for a dark cloud, creating a dark cloud in the reporting of the war against Donald Trump has not stopped. Whether it’s the media, the Democrats on Capitol Hill or the courts. The war has not stopped. Now people say the Democrats aren’t sure what they stand for anymore. They’re bouncing around. I see it. It’s just a matter of time until they unite, because that’s what they do. One thing that unite Iran is their hate for you and me. Their hate for Donald Trump and quite frankly, their hate for this country, their policies, virtually every damn one of their policies is harmful to our society, our culture. Our republic. I’ve said over and over again this week. We watch. The courageous men and women of federal law enforcement. Go after the most ruthless. Murderers, rapists, drug dealers in our country. Imported into our country by Joe Biden. I’ve said to myself, and I’ve said to my wife and I said to you. How is it that Donald Trump and his people know where to find these people but Joe Biden didn’t? The fact is, Joe Biden did. And he affirmatively allowed murderers, rapists, child molesters and so forth and so on. To run the country. To live in our neighborhoods and our communities. This was purposeful. When he said the border was secure for two and a half years. He lied when he said we needed bipartisan legislation to fix the border and to deal with the criminals in our country. He lied. Donald Trump’s plowing ahead. He’s plowing ahead with the war. He’s planning ahead going after these murderers. He’s rapists, these pedophiles. He’s plowing ahead. He’s not waiting for bipartisan legislation because it was never needed. Our laws are good laws. Our immigration laws are good immigration laws. It’s never been the fault of the laws. It’s been the fault of the fault of the politicians. And that’s the truth. And you watch the media the last 48 hours, the last 76 hours or whatever, 72 hours. One after another after another. It looks like the Third Reich. What about human rights on an. And we haven’t even gotten to people who haven’t committed violent crimes yet. We’re talking about the people who have. Oh, how dare you? How dare you catch other people who are here illegally while you’re going after the criminals? I guess they don’t understand the program. The program is if people don’t depopulate, if they don’t self remove themselves from this country, then they’re going to be removed. There’s no need to split up families. Parents can take their children. These parents did this in the first place. They knew exactly what they were doing. It’s not Donald Trump’s fault. It’s not Holman’s fault. It’s not anybody’s fault. But the people who acted this way. A country cannot survive this. It just can’t. But isn’t that the point of the Democrat Party? They don’t want us to survive it. They’re not into political differences or even social differences. They’re into societal differences. That is like the French Revolution. The French Revolution wasn’t about representative government or the monarchy or anything else. It was about destroying the existing society. Edmund Burke wrote about it brilliantly. He had been a member of the British Parliament. He had an Irish background, one of the great. We believe we conservatives, one of the great thinkers, one of the great scholars, said the difference between the French Revolution and the American Revolution is night and day, the American Revolution. They’re not out to destroy society. They’re out to strengthen their society. With representative government. And he supported the American Revolution, even though he was. Really a resident of Britain. He rejected the French Revolution, which he pointed out was it’s not a revolution about government. That’s a revolution about destroying the French society. And it was bloody and it went on for ten years. The slaughter was unbelievable. The guillotines never stopped. And they replaced one tyranny with another tyranny. Not so in America. Not so in America. You have to accept the fact and I say this knowing full well it’ll be repeated. But I’ve been doing a lot of reading, thinking, writing, and I’m going to pull together all of this. You have to accept the fact that these people reject. The Judeo-Christian principles on which this nation was founded, they reject. The principles of natural law. They reject. The principles of individual liberty and free will. They reject it all. Whether they’re hard core Marxists or Marxist by default, they sound like Marxists. They act like Marxists. And they promote ideas of the Marxists. That’s what they are and that’s what they do. They even lie repeatedly. Donald Trump didn’t put out any order affecting any entitlement program. None. And yet there’s Chuck Schumer hunched over like a stupid old, stupid old man. Going on and on about food stamps or about Social Security trying to scare the hell out of people. But it was utterly unaffected. What Donald Trump is trying to figure out is how to hundreds of billions of dollars go to these. These non-government radical left wing organizations had won hundreds of millions of dollars going to all this woke and DIY stuff. Hundreds of billions of dollars in the contracts and grants. They’re going to Planned Parenthood. They’re going to there’s that’s your money. And he says, I want to put a freeze on it and take a look at this. Oh, my God, He’s destroying Social Security. No, he’s not. They haven’t changed and they’re not going to change. Because the Democrat Party isn’t merely a political entity. It is an anti-American ideological operation. That’s what it is. That’s what it is. That’s why it’s a party that welcomes a Taliban And Omar. American haters, Jew haters, bigots, racists. They welcome them with open arms. That’s why they. They welcome AOC. Who is a bartender, Marxist, a moron. But they promoter. They promoter in the media. She’s a big deal, don’t you know? That’s why they’re rooting against Trump. You can go right now. Yes. Look at any of these sites, any of them. You can look at the worst of them like Media site or the Drudge Report and or entities like that. Or when you open Google, you can see those sites, Amazon and the others. It’s constantly negative, negative toward anything Trump does as they cherry pick the articles that are that are the worst of the worst. And while it’s true, the media are in a bit of an upheaval, if you look what’s going on at The Washington Post and the L.A. Times, you look at CNN’s having problems with its money and MSNBC. The fact of the matter is, if you really think about it. At their core, they have not changed. We’re still hearing about Hitler and the Nazis, except when it comes to Hamas, Iran, Saudi Arabia. Then you don’t hear about Hitler and the Nazis. Then you hear about the Jews and Netanyahu. But when it comes to Hitler and the Nazis, again, they point to Trump and you and me and all the rest of it. These people are destructive. They’re evil. And they’re desperately trying to manipulate the population in this country, the people. You look at the headlines, whether it’s on the Drudge Report or media site. You look at the headlines and many of these other sites. Pathetic. They’re sickening. You listen to these Democrats on Capitol Hill. They haven’t changed a damn bit. You look at their tactics, their tactics are the same smear character assassination. It is amazing to watch the Democrats on this committee. Every damn one of them who love Ted Kennedy, every damn one of them that didn’t give a crap about Chappaquiddick and Mary Jo Kopechne. Every damn one of them that didn’t give a damn. But another Kennedy was accused of rape in Palm Beach. And you can give whatever story you want. Caroline comes out. Is she aware of her father’s history? God rest his soul for sure. But is she aware of the things he did? Is she aware of her grandfather’s history? Back channeling to the Third Reich his sympathy towards Nazi ism that he had to be yanked as ambassador? Britain. And his rabid anti-Semitism when he ran a studio in Hollywood. Is she not aware of that? Robert F Kennedy Jr. He’s the big problem. Seriously, you can disagree with and disagree with them aggressively. But she sought to destroy her cousin, utterly destroy him, humiliate him on the eve of his hearing. She’s talking to her fellow Democrats. Go ahead and knock them off. You have more respect for Caroline Kennedy as a result, or do you find her contemptible and unconscionable? I find her contemptible and unconscionable. Now. Tulsi Gabbard will be next. I’m not a big Tulsi Gabbard fan on the substance. But if Donald Trump wants her, Donald Trump should get her. Kash Patel. I am a big fan. If Donald Trump wants him, he should get him. I don’t like the dingbat over there at the Labor Department, the leftist who’s bought and paid for by the teachers unions. I don’t even understand that appointment. But you don’t hear me coming out urging you to oppose her. Let’s see how that works out. Apparently, the deputy secretary appointed the Education Department. According to our friends in Tennessee, conservatives school choices say she’s the worst of the worst. I don’t know why that that woman was picked. I don’t have the foggiest idea. And we will be mindful, we will be resolute. We will be watching it all. But the enemy is the Democrat Party because they don’t believe in the country. We’re not talking about an appointment here, appointment there. We’re talking about a Chorus Line. Of haters who will do anything for power. They’re hungry for power. Who will do anything? And they haven’t slithered back under their rocks. They’re not hiding. The reorganize and they’re trying to figure out the best approach. It’s not easy when you’re facing Donald Trump. He’s a genius at this. But they’re there and they’re on the move and it’s just a matter of time. And they want to take the house in the worst way. You know why, Mr. Bredesen? What do you think they want to do? Impeach Donald Trump again. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
That said. Yes, we had bipartisan immigration legislation that Donald Trump killed. We couldn’t do what Donald Trump’s doing. I want you to understand something. If the Republicans going along with the Democrats, pretended there was bipartisan legislation, which, by the way, Mitch McConnell was behind in one of the biggest bonehead moves in legislative history. And then he votes against it. But he creates this incredibly negative campaign issue. If the Republicans had signed on to it. Most of what Donald Trump is doing today would be unlawful. You understand what I’m saying? It would. It’s sealed in the high numbers of illegal immigration and most of the rest of the Biden open borders, fending off terrorism. Venezuela gang immigration policies on I forgot, child pornography, missing children and women sold in the sex slavery policy. I’ll be back.

He’s done so many things. I don’t know enough time to even catalog them. But he did something very, very, very important. This is from the White House. President Donald Trump takes forceful and unprecedented steps to combat anti-Semitism. Did Joe Biden take forceful. An unprecedented steps to fight anti-Semitism. No, he did not. In fact, his administration reeked of anti-Semitism, from the State Department to the Defense Department to the people at the White House. To the National Security Council. I could give you names. I can give you the whole list. It reeked of anti-Semitism. Now, look, we have some anti-Semites in our own ranks. Some of whom are fairly popular. And what’s very interesting about it is they’re having absolutely no effect on Donald Trump. None, zero. They’re special players for Iran. The special players for Putin. Their special players, you know. And then they claim their America first. I’ve seen these clowns before. They’re not America first. Their low IQ, the small cabal. And they’re cons there. You’re a neocon. I’m not a neocon. I know what a neocon, a neocon is a former Democrat who supported Russia. Then saw the light like Jeane Kirkpatrick. Last time I checked, she wasn’t Jewish. She was a great patriot. And then he flipped, became Republicans. Reagan picked her up, and there were many like that. That’s what a neocon is. Not a Jew, but. For the anti-Semites, whatever works. So now if you support Israel, if you’re an evangelical Christian. If you have no faith. And you support the state of Israel against terrorists, including terrorists who attacked us on 911, terrorists who want to get into atomic bomb to put on the. Put on a hypersonic missile not aimed at Tel Aviv. Aimed at New York, aimed at Chicago, aimed at L.A., aimed at all of our major cities. You must be a neocon to. Stupid, moronic. But then again. It’s a distraction. Here’s the president of the United States, Donald Trump. And by the way, any of these bastards want to come on here and debate me. They’re free to do it. Period. Not if there are low Lilliputian. I mean, one of the biggies, you know, we went to big fish. This is a statement put out by the White House Combating anti-Semitism in the United States Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to combat anti-Semitism, expanding on his earlier executive order 13 899. President Trump’s new order takes forceful and unprecedented steps to marshal all federal resources. To combat the explosion. This is the language in his release of antisemitism on our campuses and in our streets. Since October seven, 2023, every federal executive department and agency leader will review and report to the White House within 60 days on all criminal and civil authorities and actions available for fighting anti-Semitism. And he underscores all. Immediate action will be taken by the Department of Justice to protect law and order, quell pro-Hamas vandalism and intimidation, and investigate and punish anti-Jewish racism in leftist anti-American colleges and universities. The order demands the removal of resident aliens who violate our laws. And we’re going to hear from the liberal Jews how proud they are. Donald Trump. No, no. They’ll be on TV while abide by nothing. This continues. This is on the White House website going on offense to enforce law and order and to protect civil rights immediately after the jihadist. It sounds like I wrote this and I didn’t. Immediately after the jihadist terrorist attacks against the people of Israel. On October seven, 2023, pro-Hamas aliens and left wing radicals began a campaign of intimidation, vandalism and violence on the campuses and streets of America. Celebrating Hamas’s mass rape, kidnapping and murder. They physically block Jewish Americans from attending college classes, obstructed synagogues and assaulted worshipers, and vandalize American monuments and statutes. The Biden administration turned a blind eye to this coordinated assault on public order. It simply refused to protect the civil rights of Jewish Americans, especially students. Believe the strength of this Mr. Going to do. December 2024 U.S. House of Representatives Staff report on anti-Semitism. Quote, The failure of our federal government departments and agencies is astounding, unquote. Says President Trump keeps his promises and builds on his successes. In the first term, President Trump kept his biggest promise. He moved the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem after decades of broken promises and despite much criticism. Can I get to the second page of this thing? Come on. I’ve got to. I just got this to, you know, this is fascinating. Hold on, hold on, America. Hold on, America. Oh, there we are. All right. Come on, now. It goes on and I have to skip a little bit of it, talks about obviously moving the embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, established the Abraham Accords. President Trump delivered the greatest breakthrough for a peace in the Middle East in decades by brokering the normalization of ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco, protecting Israel and Jews and spreading security and prosperity to the entire region. Now, President Trump has promised that the federal government will protect the civil rights of our Jewish citizens. My promise to Jewish Americans is this. With your vote, I will be your defender, your protector, and I will be the best friend Jewish Americans have ever had in the White House. Quote unquote. Aggressively enforce the law, protect public order and prosecute anti-Semitic crimes. Quote I will issue orders to my attorney general to aggressively prosecute terroristic threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews, unquote. Deport Hamas sympathizers and revoke student visas to all the resident aliens who join in the pro jihadist protests. We put you on notice? Come 2025, we will find you. We will deport you. I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before. This is. Who Donald Trump is. This is why the Democrats in the media fear Donald Trump. You see when they call him Hitler and sympathetic to the Third Reich, they’re really identifying themselves. They’re projecting. Donald Trump will be remembered in the Middle East by the good guys for a thousand years or more. For a thousand years or more when these Lilliputians in the media. When these little cabals of anti-Semites on the left and the right have long disappeared. Disappeared like. Like the Babylonians and the Iranians of the past. The Persians disappeared. Like the Greeks. And the Romans, if I hadn’t said that already disappeared like Adolf Hitler in the Third Reich and the Jews remain and the Jews will always remain. Read the Bible. Donald Trump has a. A deep understanding of this. Like he does so many things. He sees what takes place. He saw what took place. Do you think Kamala Harris would have done any of this? Mr.. There’s no way because she had a bunch of anti-Semites around. But she’s married to a Jew. That’s identity politics. That’s irrelevant to me. Obviously, to a loser. Obviously to a to a moron. So what? So what? The New York Times was owned by Jews during the Holocaust, and they covered up the Holocaust. It is what it is. But this is what this is what Donald Trump did today. Now, let’s see how much. He is celebrated by NBC and ABC and CBS. Let’s see how much he is celebrated by the so-called Jewish ownership at The New York Times, which now is kind of mixed because the family married in the Lutherans or whatever that married. Let’s see how much they celebrate this at the Washington compost. Let’s see how much they celebrate it. In the American media. You know, the media doesn’t always have to trash Trump. It doesn’t always have to. Character assassination, smear. Trump doesn’t always have to try and sabotage his agenda. You know, every now and then just hearing their. He should get plaudits. Plaudits. But you see, the Jew hatred in the media runs so deep and so deep in the Democrat Party in their ideology. You can’t be a Marxist. And embrace Julia. Because they are. Polar opposites. Frankly, you can’t be a Marxist and an evangelical Christian. They’re polar opposites. You can’t be a Marxist and a faithful practicing Catholic. They’re polar opposites. But as we’ve always said, Judaism is the first the religions and the first. The point of the spear. And so the Jews take it in a neck every single damn time. And Donald Trump. Stands up to this. Is there a Democrat somewhere in Washington, D.C. who does that? Look at Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer, I’m told, is half-Jewish. I don’t care if he’s here for all Jewish. He brags about his Judaism. He stabs the Jewish people, the state of Israel and his faith? Not literally. Obviously you can’t stab a faith in the back, but he he undermines. Every day. He’s in the damn United States Senate. Because he’s worried about the AOC Marxist Islamist wing of his Democrat Party in New York. And so he kowtow to it. You seem bending over for it all the time, like he’s governing. He’s actually bending over backwards for the most radical elements in the Democrat Party. Tell me, has he condemned AOC? Has he condemned Hailey? Has he condemned Omar? Has he? Has he condemned care? The Hamas front group that works side by side with the Democrat Party and their imams. Has he? No. He attacks Netanyahu. He scapegoats Netanyahu. Because Schumer’s the worst the worst of them. The worst. And by the way, as a side point, I’ve been thinking about this, too, and then I got to take a break. This guy, Bill Maher. Why do you people slobber over Bill Maher? Did you hear what Bill Maher said? Bill Maher hates Donald Trump, but a guy like Bill Maher’s really smart and he’s figured something out and he’s not the only one. Donald Trump is enormously popular, even with his audience, so he’s figured it out. What I’ll do is I’ll trash the radical left of my party, of which used to be a part. I will trash them. I will position myself as the anti AOC, the anti Talibs, the anti kooks on the left. On the other hand, I will. Not every now and then, but more than every now and then. Make sure I take really big shots at Donald Trump, too. But I’ll say just enough to be praised by my friends and talk radio. My friends on FOX and my friends and other conservatives say they’ll literally play my videos and audios about how great I am. Rush once said it to me. Maybe he said it to the whole world. Why do we feel we conservatives? He even said We Christians. But obviously I’ll say we do. Why do we feel that we need affirmation by the radical left, by Democrats, by Hollywood, by energy? Why do we feel we need that affirmation? You see it all the time. Did you hear what he said? It’s not just March either. Wow. Did you hear what that guy said? Wow, That’s great. Why do we care? We don’t need affirmation from these people. They need affirmation from us. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
I just figured it out. Donald Trump is a neocon. Yes, a neocon. He’s a neocon. He’s in Israel first there. That’s what he is. I figured it out. This is what these dumb bastards say. If you make sense and you speak out about things you see with your own two eyes and put your brain to work. Why would we back the Iranians? Well, we’ve instigated them. We’ve instigated the Iranians are very existence instigates the Iranians. They murdered American Marines who were in Lebanon. They weren’t in Iran. These American foresters. You’re an American first. They pretend to be American first. So we’re the imperialists. We can win. If we would get that supporting Israel, if we would open up areas of discussion with the Iran. Shut up, you moron. You’re going to get the whole country blown off the face of the earth. We’ll be right back.
