On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, the Democrat media and Democrats are desperately trying to create a scandal with the Atlantic, Signal story. There is no scandal. There was no threat to our armed forces or the ongoing mission. President Trump will get to the bottom of it. More attention has been devoted to the Signal story than to the 13 courageous soldiers who lost their lives during Biden’s horrific Afghanistan withdrawal. We’re bombing the hell out of the Houthis and we’re not getting many reports on it. Later, a group filed a lawsuit over the Trump administration’s Signal group chat, and it was amazingly assigned to Judge Boasberg – the same judge hearing the deportation case. This case should be thrown out because the group doesn’t have standing. Also, it’s illogical that a single district court judge, at the lowest level, can issue an order impacting the entire nation, while a lone Supreme Court justice lacks similar authority. Although appeals are an option, the process can drag on for years, exacerbating the issue. To address this imbalance, the Supreme Court should take up one of these cases and provide a definitive resolution. Afterward, Randy Fine calls in to discuss his special election campaign in Florida’s 6th Congressional District, where the outcome could significantly impact Trump’s agenda. Fine is prepared to enact legislation to support Trump’s policy goals. In addition, Dr Elaine Healy joins the show, she exposed Andrew Cuomo’s directive to put COVID patients in nursing homes on this show 5 years ago. Finally, YAF President Scott Walker joins the show to highlight the significance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. He warns that a liberal victory could lead to redrawn congressional districts, eliminating two Republican seats. Should Republicans lose both this race and the Florida congressional seat Democrats might gain control of the House of Representatives.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levine here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. This is such a joke. Such a joke. The media and the Democrats. Some of the Never Trumpers, some of the saboteurs. This is just such a joke. The chat fallout, the text fallout. The Democrats in the media are insisting there was classified information in their. You’re insisting in it on it. Okay, So what was it? Apparently we’re bombing the hell out of the Houthis in Yemen, and we’re not getting many reports from our reporters about this. Ari, most. It. BARTLETT I’m not reading much. We’re not getting many reports about the impact of our military actions. There’s been more time spent on this than the killing of 13 precious, heroic military personnel. When Biden did what he did in Afghanistan. The Democrats have said more in 48 hours about this texting than they did about the horrendous death. There were 13 soldiers. They didn’t demand that Austen resign. They didn’t demand that Mellie resign. They didn’t demand anything. They didn’t want to know from Butkus. Now I posted I guess it was yesterday, Mr. Brodie, last night or whenever it was. I don’t give a blank about this. I don’t give a blank about this because President Trump and his team will get to the bottom of it. We need to know what happened. How a reporter who hates Trump, in my view, hates the country. Radical kook. His wife is a big Dem and he’s a big Dem. He’s always in the middle of these controversies. He’s trying to set up Trump. That’s not a reporter. That’s a hit man. That’s a private I like, hit man. We need to know how he got this information. That’s a fact. But all this stuff. From Mark Warner. And the Democrats, they feel like this is where they’ve got the Democrats. This is where the Democrats. This is where we got Trump. It is now. We’ve got him. They don’t have anything. You don’t have anyone. As desperate as they are. They don’t have anything and they don’t have anyone. Now they’re calling for the resignation of Haig, Seth Haig. Seth wasn’t even involved. He was discussing some information with his fellow National Security Council team members. So he should resign. What should resign? Who else? Gabert. Oh, she she she resigned to all three of them should resign. You understand what I’m saying? How ridiculous and ridiculous this is. Just consider the source. Democrats media and this guy Goldberg. I’m not making excuses. I’m just saying it’s not what they’re trying to portray it as. It’s not this massive scandal that they’re trying to create. They came to Hillary Clinton’s defense when she. Abuse, classified information, the kind of Biden’s defense when he abused classified information. They tried to stick the classified information stuff on Trump, but he would excuse me when he was president leaving as president. Even though he had constitutional protections. I argued from day one correctly. But now they’re trying to turn this into some massive event. It’s not a massive event. As the president said repeatedly today. This has been enormously successful. Amazes me is this We literally have had military personnel, severely injured brain injuries from what the Houthis did. And also the prior regime of doing anything effective about it. Again, You didn’t hear the Democrats. You have a prison in the United States, it’s funding the enemy, helping them fund their nuclear program against the United States. You didn’t hear them whine about him. With terrorists coming across our border. Probably Chinese communist spies for all we know. You didn’t hear the Democrats concerned about that. You’re mad. You’re Adam Schiff. Anxiously talking to people who he thought were Russians, providing him information on Trump. Turns out there were two comedians. You had Schiff working with a so-called whistleblower and others from the White House who had monitored transcribe the president’s discussion with Zelensky in Ukraine, leaked information. To the Democrats on the Hill. To Schiff. Guy was a hero. So this is really small potatoes to me. I’m not worked up about it. As I said in the post, I don’t give an S about it because they’ll get to the bottom of it and they’ll fix it. That’s what they’ll do. We’ve having an enormously successful turns out campaign against the Houthis, which they’re not reporting about. They’re not reporting on it. Instead, they want to distract us. I’m not going to be distracted. Neither are you. I do want to play some of what took place on Capitol Hill while you were at work or doing other. Important things. So Pete Haig says should resign. Tulsi Gabbard should resign. This is them. What should resign? These people are a joke. They got Swalwell in there. Guy was sleeping with a communist Chinese agent. Is this a joke? Yeah, it’s a joke. Cut one. Go. Nobody’s texting or plans. Well, I noticed this morning. Oh, came something that doesn’t look like more plants. And as a matter of fact, even change the title to attack plans because they know it’s not war plans. There’s no units, no locations, no routes, no flight paths, no sources, no methods, no classified information. Now, what’s interesting about this, as I said, pretty much the same thing last night in my rhetoric. It’s nothing here. Well, you have times and some of the names of the. Yeah, okay. That’s not a war plan. That’s some information. There’s no question about it. But not enough to matter. Go ahead. I see them every single day. I looked at them this morning. I look at attack plans this morning. You know who does attack planes and war planes? Men like that Admiral, right there preparing for the Indo-Pacific or Iraq guerrilla or general in CENTCOM. They do attack plans and war plans. And thank God we have those leaders who do it and do it well and our enemies know it. My job, as it said, on top of that, everybody seen it. Now, team update is to provide updates in real time. General updates in real time. Keep everybody informed. That’s what I did. That’s my job. The war fighters will take the fight to the enemy and I love what they do. And with President Trump’s leadership, our enemies are on notice. We will have peace through strength and we’ll keep putting our troops first chart and even know why they’re attacking. Hegseth. He didn’t do anything except express to his national security team colleagues. In a rather general way what they were doing. Why is see his head on the chopping block? Because just like the French Revolution, you know, everybody’s got to go coordinated the Democrats. They have people in their caucus who support Hamas and Iran. They had people in the Biden regime that were back channeling information to Iran, and that person was given a higher position at the Department of Defense. They were funding Iran. But that didn’t move a single Democrat to complain. Not one. That was okay. That was okay. This is Mickey Mouse, certainly in comparison. That’s why I said last night, Count me out. I’m not in this. I don’t care. Jimmy Gomez is some lowlife from California, of course, a Democrat. And you’ll see how low this piece of crap sinks. How low this piece of crap goes. There’s Jimmy Gomez. And he’s talking to Tulsi Gabbard. And I have to say I’m more and more impressed with Tulsi Gabbard. I just am. Cut to go, to your knowledge, do you know whether Pete said had been drinking before he left? See what I mean? My suit. I had been drinking. Why would that be an allegation? Pete Hegseth had been drinking. You see, by the nature of the question, this guy is a hit man. It’s a lowlife. There’s Jimmy Gomez. Had he been drinking? Just a complete smear and complete attack. I don’t know. Swalwell was at a hearing today. Was he sleeping with another communist Chinese agent? I’m just curious. Was he? Go ahead. I don’t have any knowledge of, Secretary Haig, says Personal habits. Director Radcliffe. Same question. Yes or no? You know, no, I’m going to answer that. I think that’s an offensive line of questioning. The answer is no. I find it interesting that you want to be like, know I’m going to answer you after you an answer. Listen, I don’t want to focus on the good work that the CIA is doing that the intelligence community director, my time director, I reclaim my time here. I have huge respect for the CIA, huge respect for our men and women. And I just want Mr. Produce, I want you to invite Jimmy Gomez on the show. I’m serious. Go ahead. I’m the top of mind of every American right now. That’s not you, little jerk. Is it a peanut? No. No, it’s not. As for top of mind, you have to have a mind over top of mind to begin with. Clown. And you don’t. It’s an outrageous question that you asked and you planted. And when you got pushback from a real man, Ratcliffe, you melted like like butter on a stove. You’re a punk. I don’t know. Are you on drugs? Are you drunk? You have syphilis. Hey, Jimmy, I want to ask you those questions when you come on the show, please. Yeah. Bleeding hemorrhoids. How do you. I want to know, Jimi. I want to know all about you, you punk. Go ahead. Stood in front of a podium and you’re up. I sounded like he slurred right there to me, didn’t he? Do you, Mr. Producer? It’s called Podium, not podium, you moron. Go ahead. So, of course, we want to know if his performance is compromised. If you are and people were asking if the General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue, was this a conference call? Because he was in a hospital and he didn’t tell us. But this guy, where they find this guy, Congressman, this the best they can do in this district, this sleaze ball whose sleaze is out from under a rock. Jimmy Gomez? What is he, a comedian or something? I don’t know. Go ahead. Is it because of a successful strike? I bring my arm. You want to know who might want to talk about accelerating response time? Do you think you extend my time sponsor ability for a successful strike to make Americans safer? I want to make a sign here and claim your time, you moron. And then there’s a guy whose name I couldn’t pronounce if my life depended on. I’m just being honest. It’s not to be rude. He’s got so many consonants in it, Mr. Bruce. I don’t know how to pronounce it. Raja. I’ll spell it. K.R. i s h kn a smoker. THC You need, like, two bumper stickers, you know, during the campaigns. Don’t you want for the first name one for the last? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just cloistered. I’ve never quite seen anything like it. But apparently it’s a very popular name. In Illinois. Raja Krishnamoorthi tried. Cat three Go. This is classified information. This is classified is not more classified. It’s not clear why you want it to be classified. Right. He wanted to be clear by now. You’re desperate. You wish. They wish. That what they assert had been done. Ladies and gentlemen, they weren’t concerned about Hillary’s emails that were officially. Classified as classified information, they could care less. Or Joe Biden’s. They didn’t care. They care less. Go ahead. Weapons system as well as sequence of strikes, as well as details about the operations. And so I think that just piggybacking off of what some other members have said, using the DOD’s manual, I don’t know, Raj, I. Have you been drinking? I’m just curious. Were you drinking today? Were you drinking before before you started this committee hearing? Folks have all this these personal questions are okay. They’re okay. I don’t know. I don’t know. Raj. Are you okay? Is your health okay? I’m just curious. You don’t happen to have any kind of poison ivy in the wrong places, do you, Roger? I’m just curious. I just need to know. I mean, Jimmy Gomez has owned a hell of a line of questioning there, I thought. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Hakeem Jeffries. They’re all going on the morning show show, which has about 14 viewers now. None of them will come on the show, of course. We’ll see. Maybe we’ll get Jimmy Gomez. Jimmy. Nobody knows who you are. You come on this show, everybody. I know who you are. Think of it that way. Hakeem Jeffries on the morning show. He desperately wants this to be, you know, like the attack on Pearl Harbor. He desperately wants it to be like that which occurred under their favorite president, Franklin Roosevelt, and almost blew off the entire naval fleet. No. Okay. Well, we’re going to have to wait till after the bottom of the hour because we have a hard break now. But Hakeem’s very concerned. He’s stunned by this. It’s it’s troubling him greatly. But swalwell’s still unclear what the Foreign Affairs Committee or something like that. He should be on the Domestic Affairs Committee. Now, foreign Affairs is good, don’t you think, Rich? What was your name? Fang. Fang. Fang Fang. She’s a foreigner in an affair. There you go. Foreign Affairs. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
I think Jeffries on the Morning Schmo show So now more people will hear what he said than saw in the morning show. But that said, I want you to hear it. Go ahead. It’s a stunning breach of America’s national security. The lives of our servicemen and women were put into danger. No, they weren’t. No, they weren’t. And 13 were killed as a result of your party. And you didn’t say a damn thing? Nothing. Not a damn thing. You’re a pathetic joke. Hakeem Jeffries. Just pathetic. Go ahead. And this is all being done by the person, the secretary of defense, who is charged with the secretary of defense, who now they’re really gunning for, didn’t do anything. He was in charge of the call, organizing the call or anything. So you can see how desperate they are and what they’re up to. They’re counting on the the Soros Coke dimwit imaginary. To try and take out. Walt’s actually heard one of them on TV today. Pretty embarrassing. And now they’re pressing and they’re hoping they can take out Pete Hegseth at the same time. They put up with Austin for all these years. No big deal. Molly For all these years? No big deal. I see they’ve dusted off and pushed out. Susan Rice is a real disgusting phony. But trying to concoct a. A scandal. This isn’t a scandal was an accident. They’ll find out who it is. Probably some staffer. I don’t know. I don’t know. But national security was home. Let me put it to you this way. Let’s try this. What did the communist Chinese get off of that call that they didn’t know before? Nothing. What did the Iranians get off their call that they didn’t know before? Nothing. What do the North Koreans get off their call that they didn’t know before? Nothing. What did the Russians get off that call that they didn’t know before? Nothing. Nothing. That’s what’s meant by classified information. I was writing all these programs. When I was chief of staff to the attorney general. They desperately wish that they had more than they have. So they’re trying to, quote unquote, upgrade the car. Gunning for headsets head, which is so weird. Gunning, of course, for a but they’re leaving that they’re leaving that to the Soros Coke backstabbing. Isolationists. The dimwit Harry. John Ratcliffe again today. Cut six. Go. You know, there’s so much talk about this Atlantic article and about things that were said and that could have happened instead of a focus on what did happen. So my responsibility as CIA director, one of its responsibilities is to kill terrorists. And that’s exactly what I did, along with President Trump’s excellent national national security team. That’s what we should be focused on. With regard to that article. I also would appreciate the opportunity to relay the fact that yesterday I spent 4 hours answering questions from senators as a result of that article that were intimating that I transmitted classified information because there were hidden messages. Those messages were revealed today and revealed that I did not transmit classified information and that the reporter who I don’t know, I think intentionally intended it to indicate that that reporter also indicated that I had released the name of an undercover CIA operative in that signature. In fact, I had released the name of my chief of staff who is not operating undercover. That was deliberately false. That would be Swalwell who operates under cover. Go ahead. And I appreciate the opportunity to reflect that. My answers haven’t changed. I used an appropriate channel to communicate sensitive information. It was permissible to do so. I didn’t transfer any classified information. And and at the end of the day, what is most important is that the mission was a remarkable success, is what everyone should be focused on here, because that’s what did how. No, no, no, no. You don’t understand. They don’t really focus on what happened in Afghanistan. These people are hacks. They’re partisans. That’s all they are. So dismiss them. Radcliffe is a class act. Go ahead. Not what possibly could have happened. Tulsi Gabbard. Cut seven. Go. I want to address briefly the signal chat issue that I know many of you are concerned about. The President and National Security Advisor Waltz held a press conference yesterday with a clear message It was a mistake that a reporter was inadvertently added to a signal chat with high level national security principals having a policy discussion about imminent strikes against the Houthies and the effects of the strike. National security adviser has taken full responsibility for this. And the National Security Council is conducting an in-depth review, along with tech technical experts working to determine how this reporter was inadvertently added to this chat. The conversation was candid and sensitive. But as the president national security adviser stated, no classified information was shared. There were no sources, methods, locations or war plans that were shared. This was a standard update to the national security cabinet that was provided alongside updates that were given to foreign partners in the region. No, no, you don’t understand. Mark Warner, who obviously has some issues, just does. Says now that Gabbard and Ratcliffe lied under oath to his committee, they lied under oath. See, they keep ratcheting it up. Next thing, they’ll bring out the guillotine. But one of their. Every one of their miscreants will talk about impeachment. The Democrats are a sick bunch of bastards. They really are on Capitol Hill, in the media. They really are just the worst of the worst. Now. I wrote the book on them. The Democrat Party Hates America. You had an opportunity to read it because it’s true. They truly do hate America. I’m not going to play Mark Warner. He was all over the Morning Schmo show. I would recommend to my. My colleague Joe. Why do you put on people like that? To get no ratings. Joe KERNAN is a host on CNBC. It’s too bad he doesn’t get the attention that Scott Jennings does on CNN, which is endless. I even heard him use one of my lines. Mr. Producer, remember this? Let me educate you. That’s a copyrighted in line, but that’s okay. But Joe Kernen is really good. Really good. And here he is on CNBC with Warner. Cut ten Go. Yeah, but did you demand Lloyd Austin’s resignation when he was out of pocket for two weeks and didn’t tell anyone in the White House until four days afterwards that that he was not in charge of as secretary of defense? I called out I called that out as inappropriate behavior. I called in demanding the resignation. The first, though, this will probably blow over Senator Reid, push on the way. By the way, this jerk senator, is all over the place. He is out. Losing his voice as a voice. Go ahead. You didn’t demand his resignation is right, did you, Warner? Go. Well, I know you hope that, but I don’t. But I would say. Joe. Joe, we’ve got this. If this was a one off, if this was. Oh, my gosh, we’re rookies. We didn’t understand how you add people to a chat line. But this is a time explained something. Ladies and gentlemen, all the principals here did not set up the chat line. The principles here. We’re not involved in adding a reporter by accident. A staffer did something or somebody else did something. Now, one of the people who is being chastised. You’re not the secretary of defense, not the director of national intelligence, not the CIA director, not the national security adviser, not the secretary of State, whoever the hell else was on the call. None of them were involved in setting up that call. None of them. It could be the wolf said, let’s have a call with the team and so forth and so on. But he didn’t take the physical role of setting it up. So the truth is, Walter’s taken a lot of hits here. Everybody knows it for something he didn’t actually do. But he’s such a man. He’s such a man. He said, I’m responsible. Then they go after Hague, said, not because he had anything whatsoever to do with setting up the call, but because what he said on that call. And I accept the saying. I didn’t say anything that was classified. Oh, yes. We have determined, we Democrats in the media, we Democrats in the Congress, we determine it’s classified. So now they want his head. And now Warner’s gone so far as to say. Tulsi Gabbard. He lied under oath in front of his committee. And Ratcliffe lied under oath in front of his committee. Neither of them lied under oath, period. So you can see what this is turning into. And this is why I push back. This is what I do. I’d be happy to interview Mike Wall to get a completely different kind of interview. I’d be happy to interview him. I’d be happy. Interview Pete Hegseth again. This broke afterwards after my show on Sunday. But I wouldn’t use the media narrative to ask Hegseth questions or Gabbard questions or Secretary of State questions or waltz questions. I never do. I never will. Why would I do such a thing? All right, We’ve spent enough time on this, but it needed push back, America. On the table. We have a request for we’re going to make for Jimmy Gomez. A Democrat from California. Who asked the witnesses? If they knew whether or not. P deg said had. Had been drinking that day. And so I want to bring this guy on and have a chat with. Jimmy Gomez. So it is. He was the only one. Some of the reprobates afterward held a press conference and asked the same question. It’s funny. All kinds of drunks on Capitol Hill. All kinds of adulterers on Capitol Hill. All kinds of molesters on Capitol Hill. I would say this, if anybody out there knows of any I mean, as a factual matter, contact Mr. Producer. Because now it’s open game, right? Rich Now it’s free. It’s open season. Shopping season. It’s a freebie. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
So, so far, the Atlantic has downgraded their story from war plans to attack plans. And they left out something big. J.D. Vance posted these. Correct. And you just heard Radcliffe say they suggested that he, Radcliff, had revealed the name of an undercover CIA agent, when, in fact, he just revealed the name of his chief of staff, which is public. So this I’m just telling you. And when you see the same sleaze balls, reprobates, miscreants and malcontents all involved, whether they’re in the media or in the Democrat Party. It’s the same old, same old. They close their eyes to the 13 brave heroes who died as a result of what Biden did. Milley did, and the rest of those slobs did close their eyes to it. They close their eyes to Swalwell, who cheated on his wife with a communist Chinese spy and serves on the same committee. No big deal. Just blow that off, too. I remember the late Dianne Feinstein for 20 years. Apparently the guy driving her car was a communist Chinese spy. I mean, I can go on and on with these people. But what the what if so what? Nobody died. The attacks were incredibly successful. They’re ongoing. They did not, in fact, convey classified information. The information was not classified. That’s how we know. They close their eyes to Biden, who stole information out of the skiff when he was a senator. And I have argued that when he was president. Did that book interview. Pulls out his Afghan classified no cards that they thought he had turned in, which he withheld in order to get a few more shekels. Oh, yeah, we remember that, too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I forgot Hillary Clinton in the classified emails. Oh, I forgot. I forgot. Bill Clinton, remember him and a state that was in the sock drawer. Oh, we can go on and on here, folks. How about FDR and Alger Hiss? They defended our dreams forever. How about Ted Kennedy? We’ve talked about him with perfection, about him with Professor Kengor repeatedly when he was working the back channels with the communists. Hey, I got one in the Biden administration. How about this one? Where’s Robert Malley? How come they Yankees clearance? How come that story died? Media. And his assistance going back, channeling the foreign minister of Iran. Remember that one? Oh, I forgot about that one. And we could go on and on and on. The Democrat Party hates America. The Democrat Party repeatedly sells out America. So do our media. Our media take junkets to communist China. Our media take junkets all over the damn place. Qatar holders. By the way, did you see this? Qatar just got $2 billion. Did you see that, Mr. Minister? Were they strings attached? Like you can’t give any to Hamas. She. I don’t know what the hell’s going on there. That’s a weird one. All right. Do we still have time as a producer? Well, let me get to my my business here. I was getting to a role here. So this clown, Judge Boasberg Boasberg. I hope. Hope. Fingers crossed, toes crossed, but unlikely. But I hope Congress will eliminate him in his courtroom. Well, guess what? That little panel on the circuit in D.C. by two, two, one vote voted to uphold his stay. And the deportation. Her future. Gang members for that matter. They said, look, this isn’t permanent, this reason, that reason 2 to 1. The one judge who said no was appointed by President Trump. One judge who said yes was appointed by Biden, of course, and the other one was appointed by George W Bush. Henderson. I don’t know, folks. Some days it’s just rough, isn’t it? Bob Barr did it. Had a terrific a terrific interview yesterday. Bill Barr. I’m sorry, Bill Barr on the judge matter. I’ll discuss that when we come back.
