On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, India, with its massive population and strategic geographical position, has the potential to be a global powerhouse. It shares a technological alliance with Israel, particularly in advanced fields like laser weapons. It’s crucial to have close ties with India because they are a strong military-strategic partner. Also, the Democrat Party is actively working to stop efforts by President Trump and Elon Musk to investigate the waste, fraud, and abuse in government. It’s clear the Democrat Party stands for and would not only continue but expand the fraud in government. One must assume they and their groups are benefitting from it. What else explains their conduct? Finally, Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl calls in to discuss coaching as a Jewish man. Yes, there’s anti-Semitism but these challenges can be overcome. We need to educate the students on college campuses about Israel and its history and get them away from these protests.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Man, there’s a lot on the plate. But the president has a news conference with the Indian prime minister. I want to tap into this briefly. Go ahead. Today, I’m pleased to announce that my administration has approved the extradition of one of the plotters and one of the very evil people of the world. And having to do with the horrific 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack to face justice in India. So he’s going to be going back to India to face justice as we deepen our defense partnership, will also strengthen our economic ties and bring greater fairness and reciprocity to our trading relationship as a signal of good faith. Prime Minister Modi recently announced the reductions to India’s unfair, very strong tariffs that limit U.S. access into the Indian market very strongly. And really it’s a big problem, I must say. India imposes a period of 40 to 60 and even 70% tariff on so many of the goods and in some cases far more than that. And as an example, a 70% tariff on U.S. cars going into India, which makes it pretty much impossible to sell those cars. Today, the U.S. trade deficit with India is almost $100 billion. And Prime Minister Modi and I have agreed that will be key in negotiations to address the long running disparities that should have been taken care of over the last four years. But they didn’t do that in the US-India trading relationship with the goal of a signing an agreement. And we want really we want a certain level playing field. What do we really think we’re entitled to? And and he does also, in fairness. So we’re going to work on that very hard and we can make up the difference very easily with the deficit, with the sale of oil and gas, LNG, of which we have more than anybody in the world. The Prime Minister and I also reached an important agreement on energy that will restore the United States as a leading supplier of oil and gas to India. It will be hopefully their number one supplier and the groundbreaking development for U.S. nuclear industry. India is also reforming its laws to welcome U.S. nuclear technology, which is the highest level into the Indian market. This will bring safe, clean and affordable electricity to millions of Indians and tens of billions of dollars to the U.S. civilian nuclear industry and India. And under the framework we are announcing today, the United States and India are also joining forces to ensure that artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies are developed by the two of the most really true of the most advanced nations, intellectually and otherwise, technologically anywhere in the world is nobody very much closer. We have an incredible relationship there. And those are this is where it seems to be heading. And artificial intelligence complex, a very complex subject, but it seems to be where people want to be and they want to go. And we’re leading right now by a lot, but other people will try to catch us. I don’t know if they’re going to be able to. We’re going to make it available. We’re going to make tremendous amounts of electricity available and we’re going to let the people that are buying the electricity make their own electric plants, electric generation plants. And we’ve never done this in our country, but we’re going to get it done very quickly. Lee Zeldin and his group are going to get the approvals in very rapid form, and we’re calling it a national emergency. And that’s exactly what it is. So we’re going to be we’re going to remain at the top of the AI or artificial intelligence, I think, for a long time to come. And we’re going to be working very closely with India and other countries on that. But right now, we’re the leader by quite a bit. Finally, we agreed to work together to help build one of the greatest trade routes in all of history. It will run from India to Israel to Italy and onward to the United States, connecting our partners buy ports, railways and undersea cables, many, many undersea cables. It’s a big it’s a big development. It’s a lot of money going to be spent. And we’ve already spent some, but we’re going to be spending a lot more in order to stay advanced and stay the leader. I’m pleased to report that with today’s announcement, the friendship between the United States and India is the strongest I believe it’s ever been. I think our relationship is the best it’s ever been between two leaders of the two countries. And it’s an honor to say that I’d like to now invite the prime minister to say a few words, and then we’ll take some questions. And we appreciate your being here. Thank you very much. Thank you very. Yeah, I see. Excellency, that’s for me. President Trump. Global Days of delegates of both countries have friends from the media. High press conference. President Trump and Prime Minister Modi. Then I would like to, first of all, after the example, express my heartfelt gratitude to my dear friend in a few minutes will pull away. But I want to explain to you why this is so, so, so important to me. President Trump’s leadership and local has been instrumental in nurturing India-U.S. ties and making them vibrant, difficult South Asia. I could feel today the same and do sees them the same. But he was the same enthusiasm, the same energy, the same commitment that we had worked with during our first term. I believe that the discussions today that highlighted a moment of pride in our accomplishments during his first term will see the deep mutual trust that we share, how he and also the resolve to attain new goals. AMANPOUR We always have so many of you that the partnership and cooperation between India and the US can shape a better world. Friends, I mean, you know, the people of America that will be some are aware of President Trump’s motto, Make America Great Again or Margaret MAGA. The people of America love the people of India too. There are some because people are focusing on people’s heritage and development as they move forward at a fast pace and with a firm resolve to ensure a developed India by 2047. If I were to say this borrowing an expression from America, our vision for a developed India is to make India great again or make up America. When America and India work together, that is when MAGA matter. When it’s MAGA plus mega. When it becomes mega partnership, a mega partnership for prosperity. And it is this mega spends a lot of that. So that gives new scale and scope to our objectives. Friends of today we consider that we have also set ourselves the target of more than doubling bilateral trade to attain $500 billion by 2030. Teams will work on concluding very soon a mutually beneficial trade agreement party in order to ensure India’s energy security. We will focus on trade in oil and gas infrastructure. Investment in energy infrastructure will also increase in the area of nuclear energy. We also discussed increasing cooperation on small modular reactors. Friends, I repeat, Impact America plays an important role in India’s defense preparedness. Our group has strategic and trusted partners. We are moving forward actively towards joint development, joint production and transfer of technology. Obituaries in the times to come is when new technologies and equipment will enhance our capacities all at once. We have decided to launch the Autonomous Systems Industry Alliance. I’ll do it in a defense cooperation framework for the next decade. Will be prepared. Defense in defense, interoperability, logistics, defense, repair and maintenance will probably also be its key components. Friends, the 21st century is a technology driven century. Look, I think we’re doing close cooperation in the area of technology between countries that believe in democratic values can give new direction, may be strength and opportunities to the end. Let me break away here briefly and explain a few things, if I may. We’ve talked about this before on my various platforms. India is a crucial country. It is a massive population. Geographically, it’s very, very important. It also borders communist China. Communist China is constantly agitating to take land from China as it’s agitating to take islands off of Japan, as it’s agitating to take islands from the Philippines, has its agitating and threatening the navigable waters in Vietnam. And it’s it’s agitating Australia and has it’s pushing and pushing the outer boundaries of its of its power and its control geographically, militarily and economically. India is not a powerhouse here, but it can be a powerhouse. India works very, very closely with Israel and vice versa. Why? Because Israel is a technological juggernaut. The United States and Israel work very closely together. Israel is a technological juggernaut on military technology, among other things, and it’s leading the way. You know, President Reagan was the first to really think about the Strategic Defense Initiative and the Israeli side, in my view, with the United States a few years later, really the only country to embrace it even beyond us. And that’s why they have this Iron Dome and these multiple missile tiered systems of defense. We do, too, but not in a way that protects the United States. We have a few areas of the United States that are protected, but the rest of the United States is naked. Israel is beyond is has. Actually advanced beyond us in this area in Israel has taken the lead. We are also working on it. But now we have an advanced as far as they have on laser weapons that will change everything. That will be able to, you know, destroyed drones in the air you want if they had missiles hitting missiles. The power excuse me, the power of light. To energize like this is something that’s science fiction. The Israelis have been really focused on this for obvious reasons. India is not ignorant about this. India wants to tap into this. Israel is working with India on many fronts. In India is purchasing technologies from Israel as well. Why is this important? Because if you look at a map and even beyond a map, you realize that India is a crucial, not just economic strategic partner, not just geographic strategic partner, but military strategic partner. Very, very important. India has strong ties to Russia. They’ve had strong ties for a long time. India had ties to Russia before they had ties to us. We had had ties in the past to other countries, including Pakistan. But Pakistan, as you can see, it’s still important to be in an alliance with Pakistan given what’s going on there. But India is a very, very crucial alliance. And it’s starting something that’s that Nixon and Kissinger actually started. So it’s important to have these economic ties. India, like China, is starving of energy. We have plentiful energy. And when you look at what Donald Trump is doing, he’s trying to re industrialize certain of our industries, including our shipbuilding industry, which is way behind the communist Chinese. We literally need to restart it. You can see energy production where he is hell bent, hell bent on advancing this in every way possible. That’s crucial. And you can see artificial intelligence. Donald Trump spending a lot of time and resources and focus on this because it’s crucial. More when I return.
Segment 2
We’re going to go back. This question and answer stuff is actually intriguing. Go ahead. Anywhere in the world, they’ve been very strong on tariffs and I don’t blame them necessarily, but it’s a different way of doing business. It’s very hard to sell into India because they have trade barriers, very strong tariffs. We are right now a reciprocal nation. We are going to if it’s India or somebody else with low tariffs, we’re going to have the same. We’re going to have whatever India charges. We’re charging them, whatever another country charges were charging them. So it’s called reciprocal, which I think is a very fair way. We didn’t have that. We I was going to do that. By the way, as a free marketer, I think that is very fair. I think that is very fair. It’s a tax. That’s what a tariff is. It’s a tax on a product by another country. So if they’re going to tax our products and tax them in a way that it hurts, harms our industries, harms our employees, harms our businesses, then so be it. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Ladies and gentlemen. Massive corruption, massive fraud, massive redistribution of your wealth and our debt. To corrupt radical left wing organizations and causes here and overseas. You’ve got flat out fraud taking place, tens of billions of dollars in Social Security that is diminishing the availability of funds, the seniors who’ve paid into it and soon to be seniors who will be coming into that program. I can’t think of a single justification for any of this. Now one. Yet. Apparently it’s the official position of the Democrat Party to use their state attorneys general to bring lawsuits to stop. The Trump administration to stop Elon Musk to stop. All these folks are volunteering time. Patriotic citizens. From auditing, from investigating, gathering information, and then do something about it. There’s now a mega lawsuit that’s been brought by these Democrat attorneys general. They’re all working in concert. They’re colluding the conspiring. Challenging Elon Musk’s appointment is unconstitutional. Challenging their access to information is unconstitutional. They’re trying to drive a stake through the efforts to uncover all this fraud, waste and abuse. That, ladies and gentlemen, amounts to hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars. It is now clear that the Democrat Party stands for. And would not only continue but expand massive amounts of fraud in our government. So you have to assume they’re benefiting from it. Their causes are benefited from it. Their organizations are benefiting from it. Can you tell me one Democrat leader has who’s put forward any proposals whatsoever to deal with this? None. Can you tell me what the Biden regime in four years did about this? You might say. What about Trump? That’s interesting. TRUMP Let’s be fighting impeachments and criminal investigations and subpoenas and all the rest. So the Democrats, the same Democrats, they did everything they could to kneecap him, to prevent him from pursuing his agenda, to prevent him from doing what he’s doing now. Now they complain that he wasn’t doing it. We’re not stupid. We know what’s going on here. The Democrat Party wants the corruption once the fraud. Otherwise, what explains their conduct? They haven’t said, let’s work with the Republicans, let’s work with Trump and figure out what’s going on here. No, they’re in courts. They’re cherry picking the radical left wing judges and these radical left wing cities. And then the irony of them claiming that these things are unconstitutional. I’m going to take lectures from these bastards about the Constitution when they’ve spent years telling us through critical race theory. Through the 1619 project that the Constitution itself. Is poisonous, is cancerous. That was written by a bunch of slaveholders. That the Constitution reinforces white privilege. This is what they said. This is how they lectured us. These were the guests on cable and elsewhere. They’ve written books about it. Best sellers. Promoted by corporate America. Promoted by corporate media. Academia. They set up organizations on college campuses heavily funded to promote this this propaganda. We were told the Constitution’s too old. Needs to be modernized. We were told that the Constitution enshrined privilege, white privilege. And now the Democrat Party waves around the Constitution wraps itself in the Constitution as it now attacks an administration that’s trying to actually abide by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. They’re not violating any laws, not violating the provisions of the Constitution. And yet this is the allegation. The Democrat Party is more than schizophrenic. It’s civil. It’s got 20 personalities. Whatever works, whatever they need to say. What is it that drives the Democrat Party? Is that the best interest of you, the American people? Is it the best interests of the country as a whole? Is it really the Constitution? When they scheme and plot day in and day out on how to usurp it and skirt it? What if I told you the Democrat Party is about power? I’ve said it enough times, said the regurgitating on our favorite cable network and elsewhere. Power. That’s what it’s about. They see their power under attack. They don’t care about corruption. It’s their corruption. It’s their organizations. It’s their ideology that’s being funded, not ours. So it doesn’t matter if money is wasted, they don’t view it as wasted at all. This guy, Elon Musk. We should be thanking God that we have people like this. Extraordinary. He’s come along in a time in history when we need somebody like this. I need the people he’s bringing to bear on this this massive leviathan. Thank God that Donald Trump won the election. While they tried to stop him in every way possible, he’d be serving time in a federal prison today if the Democrat Party had its way. If the media had its way, he’d be in federal prison. Today, as I speak to you and Kamala Harris would be the president of the United States. We have entities within our government that’s actually funding terrorism. That’s actually funding UNWRA that backs and supports and funds terrorism. You haven’t heard a single Democrat complain about it. Now, one, they’re not on TV banging the pots and pans. They’re not doing it at CNN with this. Kaitlan Collins, Jake TAPPER, Wolf BLITZER and the rest of the. The buffoons. MSNBC, they’re on the attack. On the attack. You don’t get any information if you’re watching MSNBC. None of it. Over $36 trillion debt, if you include the stuff they put off budget entitlements, it’s over $300 trillion. They don’t want to cut anything. They don’t want to cut anything out of this. This morass, this edifice that they’ve created nothing. That hearing today. The Democrats, all they did was attack Elon Musk, attack Elon Musk over and over again, then attack Donald Trump, then wave around the Constitution, The Democrat Party waving around the Constitution. Seriously, America? Certainly was in our Constitution prior to the old Soviet Constitution. After years of telling us. What a diabolical document it was. After years of supporting their militia, pulling down monuments to the founders of this country and the framers of the Constitution. Now they’re going to lecture you and me about the Constitution. Hell, no. We’re not going to put up with that. And the American people are on to this. You actually have a political party that is trying legally. And through propaganda. To stop. The finding, the investigation, the auditing of corruption in our government, of which there is. An unimaginable amount. Unimaginable that are destroying things like Social Security and Medicare. They’re not concerned that illegal aliens are on Social Security, Medicare. They’re not concerned that people who are dead. Apparently, their families are receiving Social Security checks. They’re not concerned about any federal contractor that’s ripping off the government. They’re not concerned about redistributing wealth to foreign countries to push agendas that are anti-American or to push terrorist agenda. They don’t care. Haven’t said a word about it. All week. All last week. They’ve defended it. They’re attacking the people who are exposing it. I just want you to know, America. This is what the modern Democrat Stamp Party stands for. Marxism. Islamism. Graft, corruption and fraud. Because it’s their graft, it’s their corruption, it’s their fraud. They’re the beneficiaries. Their causes and ideologues are the beneficiaries. They’re front organizations of the beneficiaries. So what this a quarter of $1,000,000,000,000 in waste, fraud and abuse in every single annual federal budget. So what? 50 to $100 billion is lost in Social Security, including to illegal immigrants. So what? This is the position of the Democrat Party. We don’t have a constitutional crisis in this country. The Democrat Party has a crisis. It stands for everything that is evil and bad. It stands for everything that is anti-American and anti-constitutional. This is who they are. They’re out of the closet. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4

These shows are going to be doing my Fox shows, my blaze shows Blaze Media, and of course, these radio programs are going to be very, very important, as they always are. But in trying to understand and unravel what’s taking place in this country, very, very important. And what we try to do here is lead the charge in terms of understanding. Breaking down the law, breaking down the Constitution, breaking down the logic and in some cases illogic and also coming up with arguments, the battle plans and solutions. We push the envelope, we push the agenda where the point of the spear. This program, thanks to you and the size of this audience, has enormous influence, not just in Washington, but power centers, opinion centers. It’s not because I’m powerful and all the rest. It’s because you are. You are. We are juggernaut. That’s where we are. You hear things said on here that you’ll hear tomorrow on cable and different programs that you’ll hear on talk radio, on different programs. You’re just going to. And don’t forget. Don’t forget, we have a very vigorous and vibrant number of platforms that air this program. And so we love it when you listen to our radio programs, AM and FM. It’s very, very important. We love it when you listen to our satellite, our friend Sirius Satellite and so forth. But I just want to remind you, you can go to Mark Levine showcase, click on Audio, Rewind at the top and pick your favorite podcast plot platform, or go to your favorite podcast platform. And many of you already have one. And just search Mark Levin show. It’s all free. We provide it all free. It’s ubiquitous.

All 3 hours, however you wish. We’re available for you. Margaret Cleveland of the Federalists. Professor. 14 blue states suing Trump Elon Musk doge, claiming Musk is taking actions as a principal officer of the US and thus needs to be confirmed by Congress. The lawsuit also alleges Doge is acting beyond congressional authority. The case is New Mexico versus Musk DC DC Court not yet assigned to the docket. 14 blue states suing Trump and so forth and so on. So these attorneys general are all working together. There’s a cabal. I’m sure there’s an organization that’s coordinating all this. They’re working with the public sector unions. They’re working with other miscreants, malcontents who who do not want their turf touched, who do not want their powerbase touched. There’s an entire. Subterranean. That’s what it is. Government. Entire subterranean government. That is covered up by regulations and laws that they’ve made to protect themselves, judges that they’ve appointed to protect themselves. It’s nothing to do with the Constitution, everything to do with undermining the Constitution, a completely subterranean government with its own laws, its own rules. And we were warned about this in the past by Bastiat and many others. And now it’s here. And it’s here bigly. Begley. Donald Trump on the RFK Junior vote. This Kaitlan Collins is at the White House these days. Really, she’s the eyebrow if you want to know the truth and was promoted by CNN because she’s very toxic, stupid and toxic. That’s the way it works. Cut one, Go. Mitch McConnell has now voted against several of your nominees. He voted against RFK jr. As the next health secretary, citing conspiracy theories. What’s your reaction to that? Well, I feel sorry for Mitch and I was one of the people that said he couldn’t he wanted to go to the end and he wanted to say leader. He wasn’t he’s not equipped mentally. He wasn’t equipped ten years ago. Mentally, in my opinion, could let the Republican Party go to hell. If I didn’t come along, the Republican Party wouldn’t even exist right now. Mitch McConnell never really had it. He had an ability to raise money because of his position as leader, which anybody could do. You could do it even then. That’s saying a lot. But the fact is that he raised money and he gave a lot of money to senators until he had a little loyalty based on the fact that as leader, you can raise a lot of money. Senators would call me and they say he wants to give me 20, 25 million. Can I take it? I’d say take the money. Hmm. You got it. There it is. This weekend, Life, Liberty and Levin. Saturday, the speaker of the House, Michael Johnson, followed by the great legal scholar John Yoo. We’re going to get into this stuff. Heavy duty. What’s going on in Congress? What’s going on with the spending and the debt and dodge and all the rest of it? And John Yoo, one of my buddies, known him decades. We’re going to talk about all this so-called constitutional crisis. Sunday Sun, Sunday, we have the great Newt Gingrich and the great Tom Cotton. You’re not going to want to miss either of them. Absolutely fantastic. And of course, you have little old Mark. With my opening statements. I was told the other day, and I won’t tell you who, but a senior muckety muck over at the Fox News Channel. That the opening statement I give, Mr. Producer is the truth. Is the most popular, if not one of the most popular things that happens. The feedback is enormous. It’s appointment TV. Yes. The feedback on my opening statements on Saturday or Sunday are very, very significant. So I’m told. But that doesn’t matter to me. What matters to me is that you watch to go ahead and lock in your DVR or however you record it. We’ll be right back.
