On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the passing of Pope Francis is deeply saddening for Catholics and non-Catholics, following his recent meeting with J.D. Vance and Easter ceremonies. The papacy holds immense significance, with Pope John Paul II widely revered as an influential modern leader and freedom fighter who played a key role in the Soviet Union’s downfall. Afterward, we could be on the precipice of Iran developing a nuclear warhead with an ICMB aimed at America if things don’t turn out right in the Iranian negotiations. If there is to be some kind of deal it would have to ensure that inspectors from the U.S., or the E.U actually get to inspect anywhere at any time but it’s doubtful Iran would permit that. President Obama led Iran’s path to a nuke, President Biden helped fund and protect Iran, and it will be left to President Trump to say that’s enough. We are looking terrorists in the eye who are threatening tens of millions of us with death as they are developing nuclear weapons and are within weeks of succeeding. Is there any generation of Americans before us that would not have dealt a deadly blow to such an enemy before they could destroy us? Will we be the first? It’s not as if this is the imagination of the “warmongers” run amok. And how insane are those who demand that we essentially ignore this threat or appease it in some fashion? Later, the media’s fixation on Abrego Garcia is sickening. He received due process before an immigration law judge and a board, was ordered deported, but evaded authorities. The Democrats’ support for Garcia reveals their hypocrisy. Their latest cause célèbre is an MS-13-affiliated domestic abuser who was already granted due process. Also, Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented in the Supreme Court’s midnight order in A.A.R.P. v. Trump, which blocked the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, arguing the decision was hasty, premature, and lacked clear jurisdiction. When the Supreme Court brazenly violates its own precedent and, indeed, a federal statute as it did Saturday morning, can that order be ignored? What would the Framers say? All this talk about the administration not complying with this or that court, here we have the High Court violating process and the law and apparently, there is no recourse. Why aren’t the TV lawyers jumping up and down about this? The reason is they have no problem with judicial tyranny.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. It’s very sad, including for non-Catholics when a pope passes away. Pope Francis obviously died early in the morning from a stroke that led to a heart attack. And it wasn’t long after he met with the vice president, was long after. Obviously, he was involved in Easter ceremonies. It’s very sad. And I went to Catholic friends to know that. We understand their feelings and so forth. And and as the process works, I think within 30 days they choose another pope. As time plays out. I’ve always considered John, John Paul the second to be one of the greatest men in modern history. As a pope, for sure. But even more than that, the freedom fighter. And he played a massive role. In the defeat of the Soviet Union and the freedom of over a billion people. And so it’s very important. These positions are very important. The popes are important with your. Even if you’re not Catholic. Now, I hope, apart from that, that you had a decent Easter. Very happy Easter. Obviously you learned about this later, as we all did. A couple of very big issues out there in America that affect us incredibly. We can be on the precipice of Iran having a nuclear warhead on an intercontinental ballistic missile aimed at our country. If things don’t turn out right. If there’s to be some kind of deal that a deal would have to ensure that. The nuclear materials moved from the control of the Iranians, put in the control of a third party or or even us. They can be completely trusted. But they’re not going to agree to that. Then inspectors. From the United States, from the EU, somewhere other than the UN actually gets to go anywhere and everywhere. But they’re not going to permit that. And then go on down the list. So I’m not sure what kind of negotiations going on with Mr. Wyckoff. I hope he understands the gravity of the situation. I don’t know him. But the bottom line is this I didn’t vote for him. I didn’t vote for any of the advisers. I voted for Donald Trump. You voted for Donald Trump. We’re putting faith in him. Rightly so. To ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon, not during his presidency. Ever, ever. So even as they begin, these negotiations are actually there into the teeth of them. It’s hard to. Imagine how Iran will never get a nuclear weapon once Donald Trump leaves. What if they violate the deal? What if there’s some liberal Democrat president like a like an Obama or like a Biden or something like that? Plus, it’s a funny thing about terrorists. They lie, they cheat, they steal, they murder. They mean. So they’re going to sign a piece of paper and comply with it. What we know is with the Obama deal, they didn’t do any of that. You can Google it yourself. You don’t need me. You can go look on the Internet yourself. They prevented certain inspectors from inspecting no military sites. And it goes on and on and on. The long list. That’s the U.N. now banging the pots and pans. The IAEA, as they call it, saying, hey, look, they’re going to get a nuclear weapon. They won’t let us do the inspections we need to do. And it is a five alarm fire. We may actually have. Not just in our lifetimes, in the course of the Trump presidency, Iran with a nuclear weapon. Biden helped fund it. Biden helped protect them. Obama laid the path and it was left to Donald Trump and we his voters to say, No, that’s enough. It’ll be interesting to see if there is a deal. What kind of deal this is. Because I can’t imagine that the Iranians will be forced to dismantle their program and to provide their nuclear materials to another country. They’ve played these tactics before. With Obama, with Biden, with the Europeans and the UN. The salami tactics, a little slice here in a little slice here, or if you prefer, this rope a dope where they buy time. The problem is we’re out of time. I want to know how you’re feel. I want to know how you’re feel. If the regime in Iran has a nuclear weapon. I want to know how you’re feeling. I’m very concerned about it. Deeply, deeply, gravely concerned. Iran is weaker than it’s ever been. Its military is weaker than it’s ever been. Its air defenses were all wiped out by Israel last year. It’s economically in some very, very severe, dire straits. If you’re going to do something, you would do it now. You would do it now. The other concern is if it appears there’s appeasement. Then China is going to get the wrong message as well. China will look and say, Oh, okay, America’s a paper tiger. And no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I know people in the radical media. They’re constantly looking for ways to damage our relationship. I’m talking as a general matter to you, my fellow Americans, I’m not playing gotcha. I’m not playing games. I leave it to mediate Media matters. Drudge Report. They can all do it and they can proudly tell their children and grandchildren there when the earth was on the line that they were busy playing gotcha. That’s what they do. They’re grifters. They want their hits, they want their clicks and so forth and so on. So are many podcasters. So many subscription based platforms. Same thing. We don’t do that here. I don’t do it. There’s a deadly serious. And of course. The fact of the matter is these people are not ten feet tall. The fact of the matter is they can be easily defeated. That is their nuclear sites. It would be the Israelis who are on the front line by the Israelis taking point and they want to get it done. Who wouldn’t be our soldiers. Nobody’s dragging anybody into a war. If you’re a normal, mature adult and you see somebody who’s trying to get nuclear weapons and they keep talking about destroying you and destroying your country and destroying your family, you take that seriously. If you have a next door neighbor. Who keeps threatening to kill you and your family. Every day. And they’re not shy about it. And they are in pursuit. Of certain types of weapons. What do you say? That’s okay. I don’t expect him to do anything. No, you don’t, do you? So a whole nation. A whole nation should be on its knees and hope that Islamo Nazis. Have a completely different ideology than the rest of us. I believe the better life is the next life. And the way you get to the better life in the next life is killing as many. Of us who get in the way of. Pure Islam. You turn the other cheek, you close your eyes. I’ll say this about the Israelis. They are warriors. They are warriors. They know what it’s like to get hit. But don’t we? When we hit on 911. Who hit us on 911? Who hit us. The Islamists hit us. They hit us. In a way we didn’t expect. Do you think of the Islamists who hit us on 911 had a dirty bomb or biological or chemical weapon or. An atomic weapon. They wouldn’t have used it. They wouldn’t have blown New York City off the face of the map. In fact, the whole metropolitan area. Of course they would have. So I ask you. Exactly what kind of deal. Will prevent these people. From getting a nuclear weapon now or ten years from now. I’m just curious. And why when somebody brings this up, that they immediately attack by these rabid piranha, these ignoramuses. You sound like the Islamists. Why is that? There’s one pundit not particularly bright but very popular attacks. Our friend Douglas Murray says he’s on a water. Douglas Murray. I went to Israel and went to Gaza. I went to Lebanon. He saw what took place. The aftermath. And there he is debating a comic. And a former comic. And UFC announcer. Who continue to mock him while he’s not with them. I guess that that’s popular. That draws attention. Isolationism isn’t. Antiwar. It’s very provocative when you’re looking a terrorist regime in the eye and they’re telling you they want to kill you. And they are developing nuclear weapons. Why would you attack the messenger? Who’s telling you? You better pay attention to that and you better do something about that. Is that what it takes to be a popular podcaster? Is that what it takes to sell subscriptions? And then they want you to believe it’s a new way of thinking. It’s not a new way of thinking. The piece. It’s not a new way of thinking. Pacifism. Isolationism in the face of an enemy. It’s not a new way of thinking. It’s a deadly way of thinking. And give example after example in modern and ancient history. You folks have to decide if you’re comfortable with Iran getting a nuclear weapon or if you’re comfortable with some kind of an arrangement that suggests they won’t get a nuclear weapon. Then that’s that. If you’re not, you better contact your member of Congress. You better contact them immediately. There needs to be. Pressure. Against the pressure that’s out there to do nothing. There needs to be a counter pressure. Some of the people who are out there talking are barely pubescent. Barely pubescent. Others had built their careers on being. Sort of counter-culture types. They think it’s cool. To me, it’s not about counterculture. It’s not about any of that stuff. If you are so stupid. You think you can manage a nuclear weapon or dozens of them in the hands of Islamist terrorists? You shouldn’t have any following. And you are giving aid and comfort to the enemy with your big mouth and your propaganda and your bullcrap. They read what people are saying. They hear what people are saying. And they’re emboldened by it. And remain confident that President Trump understands this. I remain confident that. That he will continue to confront this. And, you know, like Joe Biden funded all this activity and so forth and so on, barely got criticized by anybody other than. A handful of us like me. Yeah. So I just let you know what’s going on out there. I continue to have confidence in the president. I don’t have confidence in some of the people around him and some of the people in the media and people like Media eight and the others that are distracting America. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Thank God, the American revolutionaries. Right. Lectured about forever wars and accused of being warmongers when they took on the most powerful military force on the planet. There would be no America today. We’re looking at terrorists in the eye who are telling us they want to destroy us and they’re acquiring the deadliest weapon humanity has ever developed. And those of us who insist this threat must be eliminated are correct. It’s that simple. There are no rational arguments to the contrary. There are none. None. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Let me just put it to you this way. We are looking terrorists in the eye. Are threatening tens of millions of us with death. They say so it’s not my imagination. It’s not the imagination of neocons and warmongers. Tens of millions of was death as they are developing nuclear weapons and are within weeks of succeeding. Is there any generation of Americans before us that would not have dealt a deadly blow to such an enemy before they could destroy us? Is there any. Other than this one. Will we be the first? It’s not as if this is the imagination of the warmongers run amuck. And how insane are those who demand that we essentially ignore this threat or appease it in some fashion? And why do you listen to those people? Why do you listen to these people? Who are they? What do they know? You don’t know anything. These are the great know nothings of our time. I have to admit, I’m getting sick and tired of this. Kilmer. Abrego Garcia. They keep saying you didn’t have due process except for the fact that we brought up the other day, made due process in front of a immigration law judge who ruled that he more likely was a member of Ms. 13 than not. Then he appealed it to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and that board said exactly the same thing. There’s due process twice. He was ordered deported because he snuck away, worked his way into the population. And there’s a technical issue, they say, with this last deportation. So he must be brought back technical issue. Now, this technical issue isn’t a technical issue of substance. Do you understand what I mean? It’s a technical issue, a process. So if, in fact, President Trump would send him back to the United States, which he must not and will not. He goes through a process and eventually be sent back to El Salvador. The gang that he said was threatening him doesn’t exist anymore. And there’s really no evidence of any threats of any kind. What this does, those that exposes the Democrat Party and the left in the media to your over and over and over again, This is just the latest example. Do you know the name of a single woman who was sold in the sex slavery during the four years the Biden regime? You don’t know the name of one. Do you know the the name of a single child or minor unaccompanied who came into this country who was missing? You don’t know the name of one. Why is that? Because to expose that would have destroyed the Biden administration and his party. And to do it each and every day and bring up one name after another after another in an after another would obviously demolish who would obliterate the Democrat Party. So they weren’t going to do that in the media. And so their cause celeb is for an Ms. 13. Wife beater who did have due process. I understand Joe Rogan is upset that he didn’t get due process, but then again, he did get due process. In this case, there was a technical error and he will be remain in El Salvador. If he gets back to the United States, somehow he’ll still be deported. That’s an example of a constitutional violation. That’s extremism. We can’t do stuff like that. Yeah, right. In the end, most of these people, ladies and gentlemen, are grifters. Most of these people are. Self-Important. People need to think about the country first. That’s what they need to do. Think about the country first. And they don’t. And let’s see here, Mr. Producer. Check what I’m sending Eric. You know, my. Here’s a media montage of this guy, Garcia. Hat tip. Representative Wesley Honan. Cut one Go. The Maryland man thought to be wrongly deported. Maryland man Kumar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man wrongfully deported from Maryland. Man who was mistakenly deported. The Maryland man but Maryland man that was detained. The Maryland man mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador. They’re not even trying to bring back a Maryland man. He’s a Maryland man. Maryland man. A Maryland man. Maryland man Killer Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man of Maryland and Maryland met the Maryland man and the Maryland man they shipped to El Salvador. The Maryland man who was sent to El Salvador. This man from Maryland. A Maryland man in the case of a Maryland man. Who? A Maryland man. Maryland man. Maryland man. Maryland man. That Maryland man. The case of the Maryland man. Maryland man. Gilmer Abrego. Garcia. That’s a Maryland man. A Maryland man. This Maryland man. The Maryland man. The Maryland man. He had no intent of returning the Maryland man. Wrongly deported man. Maryland man, I should say. Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father. Kumar. Armando Abrego Garcia. That’s the Maryland father of Maryland, father who had been deported. There’s this young man from Maryland. A father, Maryland father who came here at age 16. Gilmore. Abrego Garcia. A Maryland father. Maryland father. Maryland father mistakenly deported. Father of the Maryland father. Mistakenly deported to Maryland. Father who was wrongfully deported. Gilmore. Abrego. Garcia. The Maryland father. Father from Maryland. Maryland father. This Maryland father who was wrongly deported. Kill Mario Garcia, the Maryland dad. The Maryland father mistakenly deported from Maryland father. He is not a Maryland man. He is not in Maryland. Anything. He’s an illegal alien from El Salvador with a deportation order from the United States. Sir, Buddy Miller, the Maryland man. I remember the Marlboro Man. I don’t remember the Maryland man. You know what they’re known for, Marilyn? The food they’re known for Mr. Producer. Crabs, a beer, red crabs from Maryland. I wonder if this Maryland man has crabs. Just curious. The Maryland man, they mean the wife beater. The same party that’s destroying women’s sports, girl sports, the same party that oversaw hundreds of thousands of women sold in the sex slavery because of their open border policies. The same party that sold tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors, including a little girls gone missing, probably sold in the sex as well. They don’t know the name of a single one, and they don’t care. That party, the Democrat Party, the Maryland man. Now under no circumstances, the Maryland man and this the party that tells you to follow the law that they believe in the law. No, they don’t. They’re lawless. There are lawless miscreants and malcontents. That’s what they are lawless in every respect. Van Hollen. On Fox News Sunday. The Shannon BREAM cut to go. Who did pay for this trip? This was an officially cleared congressional trip. Cleared taxpayer dollar raises. Yes. Like every other trip. Hmm. Gosh. Tripping. All right. Trippin. Let’s go to Court three. Van Hollen, this guy, he’s made a name for himself. He’s a great, great hero with the Ms. 13 crowd. They love the guy. Go ahead. I would say they were illegally abducted by U.S. government agents and then taken to foreign prisons against the law. And the reason why it’s important to treat each of these cases individually under the law is because our Constitution. No, that’s not right. The reason is, ladies and gentlemen, is because we can’t handle the load and we never will. And we will have. Millions of people here illegally, including gang members from Venezuela, gang members from El Salvador and other kinds of brutal murders, rapists, tortures, you name it. And they will effectively have backdoor amnesty. I don’t know why I’m the only one that keeps explaining this. The system is overwhelmed. It can’t handle it. And so when you have morons going out and due process, due process, there’s different types of due process. There’s executive due process, administrative due process, and then, of course, full blown constitutional due process. They just throw the phrase. Each case needs to be looked at individually. At what point does it need to look at individuals? As I’ve said before, people need to explain themselves. If you get somebody on the border and you see them coming across illegally, do you pull them into the country? Say, well, see, in the immigration court in four years, 1.5 million people. Have not been heard in. Their immigration case is in front of administrative law judges. These are bureaucrats, not real judges. 95% who get court dates don’t show up. And this is this is the system that these fools want you to believe can handle the quote unquote, due process cases. And so the Democrats broke the system. Their cheerleaders broke the system, their media broke this system. First, they told us the border was secure and then they they genuflect. Completely turned and said, well, we need bipartisan immigration legislation. They didn’t need any such thing. We said they didn’t need any such thing. Before that. We said the border wasn’t secure. Millions of people coming across the border and they lied and the media lied. Just they just as they lied about Joe Biden having any level of. Intelligence, quite frankly. And they’re lying now about this guy. They’re trying to turn him into a. I do process celebrity, but he had due process multiple times during the course of this process. Oh, yes, he did. You can read the record yourselves. You can read the record yourselves. That’s going to cut for Mr. Producer Dana Bash on the Constipated News Network with Van Hollen. Go. Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not, nor has he ever been a member of the Ms. 13 gang? And did you ask him point blank? Okay, stop right there. Good question. For once. Good question. You get a pat on the head. Good question. Go ahead. Well, Dana, what Donald Trump is trying to do here is change the subject. The subject at hand is that he and his administration are different. It’s funny how he doesn’t answer the question and then blames Trump for changing the subject. Trump hadn’t said a word. We’re waiting for you, genius. By the way, this is a guy that’s also been trashing the Israelis and Netanyahu left and right. He could be a podcast. And I think Mr. Producer. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. Order to give people to give a break. Go. Garcia His due process rights, they are trying to litigate on social media. What they should be doing is ask the question, moron, is he or has he ever been a member of Ms. 13 gang? We have to courts that have adjudicated this in both courts. That is immigration courts such as they are. But that’s the official process. Number one at the lowest level said there’s more evidence that he is and he’s not because he said he wasn’t. But they said, well, we’ve got some evidence here that you are. And he appealed that specifically appealed that to the Board of Immigration Appeals had said we uphold. But the lower administrative law judge said there’s there’s more evidence that you are then you’re not. Is that not do? What is that? What is that? So that comedy show. What is that? That’s why Chris Van Hollen can answer the question. That’s why he won’t answer the question. As all the the time and effort and resources are spent on this Ms. 13 wife beater who’s here illegally in the first instance? Where are the women’s groups? Where where’s everybody? We know for a fact that he beat his wife. She put it in her own handwriting. She found it in 2019. There it is in her own handwriting. And yet they try and turn him into a sympathetic figure. Sympathetic figure. Incredible. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
I’m going to try and explain something to some of these lawyers out there who are attacking this administration and bandy on this this Garcia case. I don’t understand what they’re doing. They say you make a mistake, the government admits it and you fix it. No, you really don’t understand. And I spent some time on this last night on Fox. The first issue to be determined is not whether you understand or not or even whether this this individual through a technical issue, was quote unquote, wrongly deported, because in the end, he’s going to be deported regardless. The issue is who gets to decide. And so we’ve come so far, so far from understanding our constitutional construct. That according to some of these these lawyers on TV. The court gets to decide. And that’s kind of in the mindset now that’ll be in the mindset of all these these entrails of media organizations that have their platforms and everything else. What are you saying a judge doesn’t get to say? I’m not saying that. The framers of the Constitution said it. I read some of the quotes from the delegates at the Constitutional Convention that made it clear that even if. The legislative branch. With the new executive branch or the courts make an error or as they say, an error, but make an error. It’s not up for one of the other branches to fix it. When it’s a policy issue, when it’s a power issue, that is who gets to decide. Yes, the other branches can speak out because it affects them, but when it’s a policy matter. It’s none of their damn business. That’s what the delegate said, not me. According to Madison’s notes. If I say if I’m making an argument, an explanation. So even if we assume there’s a mistake, a technical mistake. What’s the administration trying to get in a fight with the with the judge in the courts? I don’t understand it. I understand it. The man’s going to be deported regardless whether he’s brought back or not. But no, a judge and not even a group of justices on the Supreme Court have the power to order the president of the United States to do crap, including facilitating the release of Garcia back into the United States. They do not have that power under the Constitution. If they do show it to me, show it to me right now. Media eight Show it to me right now. Show it to me. Any. Hey, you know what, Mr. Call screener. Leave two or three lines open. Any former federal prosecutor, please call me and tell me where this authority comes from. It totally comes from Congress. I asked about the Constitution. Where does it come from? I want to know. It’s unfortunate when mistakes are made by a court. It’s unfortunate when mistakes are made by Congress. It’s unfortunate when mistakes are made by a president, but it happens. That’s called human beings. That’s the nature of the beast. The question is. Who has the power to do what? That’s the question. Just throwing around the phrase due process. Due process. Due process doesn’t fix anything. When you have the delegates to the Constitutional Convention saying no. No. Then where does this power come from? I want to know. Whether you agree with it or not, whether you like it or not. I haven’t given my opinion on that. I’m saying, where does his power come from? Keep those two lines open. Mr. Call’s greener. I want to know the name of one delegate to the Constitutional Convention who thinks the courts have the power to do what people are telling them to do.
