On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Elon Musk, once aligned with the left, has become a patriot and hero. From the moment he purchased and exposed Twitter, he became a target of the media and the left. Musk’s efforts to uncover hundreds of billions in government waste, fraud, and abuse, have cost him millions and hurt Tesla. Alongside President Trump, Musk risked everything for America. This moment right now is critical for slashing government spending, a unique opportunity driven by Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Also, some conservatives keep saying that the Democrat Party is dead. Most people who say this have no idea what they’re talking about. Democrats and Marxists aren’t dead—they’re just retooling and regrouping. This is a dangerous, even evil party, and you don’t turn your back on them. Saying they’re finished is an excuse not to decisively defeat them. If Democrats take one or both houses of Congress, you’ll see they’re far from dead—their attacks will be relentless. They will undermine Trump’s entire agenda. Later, Sen Ron Johnson has said he wants hearings on what happened on 9/11. Here’s what happened: Islamist terrorists attacked us, flew planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, and a fourth plane crashed in central Pennsylvania because heroes rushed the cabin. And now, Islamist terrorists in Iran are building a nuclear weapon while threatening to destroy us and Qatar is funding terrorists like Hamas and front groups in our country. Afterward, Landmark Legal Foundation filed a brief with the appellate court to prevent further contempt proceedings by Judge James Boasberg.

Segment 1
Hello America, Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Like you, I observed different people who are in the media a lot. Mark, so are you. Well, I don’t know. Observe myself. Observe other people. Sam, I have absolutely no respect for some. I have a great deal of respect for. I’m not a big Joe Rogan fan. The fact that he entertains these psychopaths. And these Jew haters is bad. All I need to know, I’m not a big fan of Tucker’s. Even worse. I’m a big fan of Elon Musk. But, Mark, you know, the Hitler son of Elon Musk went over to Israel. He saw what took place on October 7th. I know the leadership there is very fond of him, but that’s not the test really for says it. I don’t know. Elon Musk. I met him once in passing. Early on. We try to get him on our various shows. He was non-responsive. I haven’t tried since then. I don’t know if we could now or not, but I’m not interested in. That’s not why I’m doing this. Elon Musk is being bad mouth. He’s being badmouthed by the ruling class in Washington, including some on the Republican side and in the White House. I know the president is enormously fond of Elon Musk. Elon Musk is a great patriot and in many ways a great hero. He was part of the left. He was part of the Obama, you know, team there for a while. And by that I mean voted for him and. And what happened? Whatever it was, he saw the light. And he did something about it. He purchased Twitter. None of us ever thought Twitter could be redeemed. I resigned from Twitter the way I resigned from Facebook, and I remember going back to Facebook. He had an investigation done on Twitter. They revealed the information they found that had taken place. Credible information. Twitter was a bad investment. He knew it was a bad investment and he bought it anyway. Her multi-millions of dollars. And from that moment on, even before he joined the Trump campaign and so forth. He became the enemy of the left of the Democrat Party in the media. Targeted. Brutalized. Investigated. Characters fascinated. Now they’re trying to destroy his businesses. He didn’t have to do anything. How many multi-billionaires we have is who are Republicans who do nothing except sit there and pontificate about tariffs and so forth, which is fine, but they literally do nothing. Oh, they’ll give money to a candidate and so forth and so on. That’s nothing to these guys. Their multibillionaires gave 20 million, 50 million, even $100 million. That’s snack money to many people. But when you literally leave your CEO positions. And voluntarily commit your time. They’re doing something that, you know, you’re going to be attacked for, but it’s in the best interests of the United States. Bringing in brilliant people. To do what has never been done in this country. Outsiders. Experts. Computer whizzes. Technological whizzes. They go through the departments and the agencies, a daunting task. To find waste and abuse and fraud. And they found a lot. Knowing full well. That nobody’s perfect. And that the enemy of the people. Well glom on any opportunity to exploit an error or an imperfection. When in fact, he and his team are uncovering hundreds of billions of dollars in errors and imperfections. Takes a remarkable man. It’s cost them. Maybe $100 billion. Tesla is hurting badly. It’s bleeding. Half the country won’t buy it. Because he’s associated with it. These are the same people who hate you and me, by the way. They despise us. And there’s only two billionaires who I can think of who’ve put everything on the line. Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They’ve put everything on the line. Elon Musk. Has done things I never thought would be done or could be done. Under the. Presidency of Donald Trump. I served eight years in the Reagan administration. We did a hell of a good job of rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. But in all honesty, it doesn’t even compare to what Elon Musk has done with Donald Trump. It just doesn’t. I’m not interested in. Bring him on the show, TV, radio plays or anything like that. That’s not the point. There’s nothing in this for me. I’m speaking as a. There’s a man, a person who loves this country. You will never see the likes of Elon Musk again. You will never see the likes of what he and his team have done. You will never see that again. Uh, it’s now or never. We either slash the federal government, the personnel, the departments, the agencies, the programs now or never. The stars are aligned. I see some of the weak kneed Republicans already going at it on Capitol Hill. I have no stomach for these people. None. I hear it said, well, if Elon Musk had gone about it a different way, there was no different way. There is no other way. He went about it the right way. You take it head on. That’s just Washington, D.C. bureaucrat talk for doing nothing. He knew and he knows the clock is ticking. From the moment the new president is sworn in. Your time is limited. Because the Lilliputians. Our always scheming. The lawyers are scheming. The special interests are scheming. The long in the tooth. Politicians, Republicans and Democrats, they’re scheming. How do we get rid of this guy? How do we how do we sabotage this guy? And for the Democrats, it’s always the same thing. Character assassination. Character assassination. Saul Alinsky. They learned well from their boy. Saul Alinsky. Target and destroy. And so they target and destroy as they’ve tried to target and destroy walls and tried to target and destroy. HEGSETH And of course, Donald Trump most of all. Elon Musk deserves our. Not just our thanks. More than that. More than that. I’m reading a story now that he and the Treasury secretary, this guy percent. We’re really going added heavy duty over the head of the Irish. Percent on the day he got his man in the former whistleblower against. Hunter Biden who’d been the acting was then remove percent got the guy he wanted. I don’t know this guy per cent from a hole in the ground. He means absolutely nothing to me. Zero. All I know is he hasn’t come close. In his private life when he started out with Soros or since. In doing the things that Elon Musk has done. And of course, he’s annoyed cabinet secretaries. Of course he’s annoyed agency heads. And of course he’s the target of endless leaks and attacks, not just by the Democrats, but by the insiders. That’s how, you know, he’s actually doing something and trying to get things done. But he had a lot at stake. His businesses. Tens of billions of dollars. His life with the threats that he faces. I’m 67 years old. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve been involved in politics since I was 13. I’ve been involved in the conservative movement since I was 13. I have fought the Republican establishment, whether in my township, Cheltenham Township, now Queen’s Park, Pennsylvania, in my state of Pennsylvania. I fought them. 1976, when a handful of US young Turks backed Ronald Reagan against Gerald Ford. I know who these people are, and I know how bad they are. I know how lousy they are. How they join in with the Democrats. Because they’re perfectly happy with the way things are going. Does he post things that I always agree with? Of course not. He say things I always agree with. Of course not. So what? Who cares? All I know. From my own experience using my own noggin. Then I’m thankful this guy showed up on the scene. Almost out of nowhere, Mr. Producer just showed up. Help get Donald Trump elected. Put his neck on the line, put his money in, his business, is on the line, puts his life on the line. That much I do know. And all of the leakers out there, the anonymous leakers trashing him and this guy Bassat, the treasury secretary. We’ll see how good he is. It’s just a matter of time. Just a matter of time. I don’t know him. Doesn’t matter if I do or not, anyway, does it? I don’t know Musk either. But I’m a mother. I am an observer, and this is what I observe. Observe a man who actually creates things. Builds things. Unlike Soros. Who moves money around and tries to destroy things. Unlike his punk son. Billionaires who undermine this country, billionaires who hate this country because their money is global. Elon Musk is a patriot. He didn’t have to do what he did. Like so many of these other billionaires, I watched these Republicans. Many of them, certainly the Democrats. I felt compelled to talk about this right off the top because of these cheap shot attacks. I’m already reading on the guy as he is announced. He’s announced the following. In an earnings call yesterday. Cut ten. Mr. Producer, go starting. And next month may my time allocation to doge will drop significantly. I’ll have to continue doing it for, I think, the remainder of the president’s term just to make sure that the waste and fraud that we stop does not come roaring back. But starting next month, I’ve got allocating far more of my time to Tesla. And I know that the the major work of establishing the Department of Government efficiency is done. All I know is he’s the one that provided StarLink. Do the people suffering in North Carolina? Nobody else had anything. Anything. All I know is when he’s been called on by Donald Trump. He’s been there. I didn’t see percent on the campaign trail. Maybe he contributed to Donald Trump in enormous ways financially. I have no idea. I never heard of him. I’ve been involved in the conservative movement. As I said since I’ve been 13 years old, I never heard of him. But it was clear during the campaign that Musk was enormously helpful. It’s clear during the. Trump presidency. He was enormously helpful. And I, for one, completely understand why he has to reallocate his time. But I’m sorry. He has to. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
I just counted the number of texts. Sager Today, Mr. Producer. 117. I just kind of the number of emails I got today, America. 219. And people literally expect me to answer them every time they just send me an email or text. Obviously, if it’s important and I know the person going to look at it and say, no appreciation for what goes on here. None. I’m not complaining. I’m just saying it’s so bizarre. Now, this is an addition. This is a three hour radio program. Mr. Producer. Open your microphone. When do I start preparing for this program? Oh, gosh. Two, three, four. In the morning. Two, three, four in the morning. I guess we did 3 hours of the night all hours a day night. The Blaze program I have I take very seriously. We did three this week. I’ve got the two Fox shows to do. I get up at six in the morning to do the monologue and then we’ll shoot it later in the afternoon. And I’m not complaining. I mean, I’m not a cop or a firefighter, a trucker. They have a really hard. But when people ask me, Did you get my email? Did you respond to my email? I have a little bit of common sense and understand that if I can, I certainly will. No question about it. But I am a little busy. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
I am very concerned about colleagues of mine on TV, some on radio, I’m sure. Keep telling us the Democrat Party is dead. You keep hearing that, Mr.. But Democrat Party’s dead. America. Did you know this? Oh, yeah. They’re dead. So don’t worry about. Most of the people who talk like this have no idea what the hell they’re talking about. That party’s not dead. The Marxists aren’t dead. The Islamists are dead. They’re just retooling. They’re regrouping. They’ll figure out what it is that they want to lie to us about. They’ll figure it out. Who do you think is trying to block right now the Trump administration’s agenda? And in some respects, they’re being very successful with their judges. Does that sound like a party that’s dead? This is a dangerous damn party. It is evil. It is evil. See if you don’t have dirt under your fingers from past campaigns or battles and so forth and so on. And I’m not talking about little campaigns. I’m talking about big presidential campaigns in the primaries and so forth. Then you really don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. The Democrat Party is dead. Excuse me. What do we have? A four vote, five vote majority in the House of Representatives. We have 53 Republicans in the Senate. Does that sound like the Democrat Party is dead to you, America? It is an evil party. You don’t turn your back on it. You don’t give it the other cheek. You don’t close your eyes and your ears. We’re not Helen Keller. Bless her soul. We’re just not. And so this is an excuse not to put the dagger where it belongs in the heart of that party. And so people chuckle. They dismissed them. They don’t know what they’re saying. They don’t know what they stand for. That’s true. Right now. But they will. And while I hate it as much as we always have, they will. They will keep it up. Midterm elections coming up. If they take one or both houses, they’ll see the Democrat Party is not dead. Their knives will be out. The point of their spears will be focused in on us, in our faces. Now conduct investigations. They will do impeachment. They will undermine the entire agenda. So the Democrat Party’s dead folks, even as a practical, rational matter. You don’t have to be in the majority. You don’t even have to be in a significant majority. Take gum up the works through the courts. They gum up the works if you have one house of Congress, just because our guys don’t know how they how to do it, they do. They do. And their prosecutors. They’ll be given the go ahead. And the states and localities. That party is not dead. And those who keep saying it is are ignoramuses. That’s what they are. It’s not dead. It should be dead. I wish you were dead. It’s an evil party filled with saboteurs. I take nothing for granted. Nothing. We won one big election and their party’s dead. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I remember when they were losing a string of elections. I remember when it was said. That the Democrat Party will never take the presidency again. I remember this. We two terms of Reagan, one term of George H.W. Bush, then Clinton, two terms, then his son, two terms. There was look at this. We had Reagan two terms. We had George H.W. a term that’s three. We had. 43. That’s five. They used to say five out of the seven last presidencies we won. Wow. I don’t know how the Democrats will ever when we control California, we have California. We have Texas. They can never win. Well, now they have California. And now they’re trying to take Texas through immigration. This is what I mean. This is stupid. It’s stupid. That party’s not dead. It’s crazy as. They’re fighting among each other, but they will find their footing. And when they find their footing, we are the target. We are the target. I heard somebody say today, Mr. Producer, that party’s dead, period. How do you even say stuff like this? How do you even say stuff like this now? We should help and continue to fight with each other. We should expose every area of vulnerability. We should have our own strategies to deal with them. But when you have talking heads, just dismiss it. And just say things like, Well, our party is dead. Look at this AOC and this one. They don’t know what they’re talking about. And. You might remember all the talk about how we’re going to win this massive victory during that. Midterm election. When we didn’t, everybody was saying we were except me behind this microphone. I said, don’t believe these polls. Don’t believe these polls. And they were wrong. They believe the polls. I said don’t believe these polls in this last general election. Remember that? Mr.. But as I said, I don’t think it’s as close as they say. But I said, it doesn’t matter. Act like we’re way behind. Who cares what I think or what the polls say? What matters is what’s done. That’s what matters. But the idea that the Democrat Party is dead for evermore is just ridiculous. Absolutely insane. While it’s down. We need to keep kicking it politically. Of course, you get my point. And as long as they’re going to rely on Jasmine Crockett and AOC as the mouthpieces of the party, that’s a good thing. We should encourage it. That’s okay. But it’s not dead. They’re depressed. They’re down. They’re looking for a way out. They’re flailing around. But their lawyers, their slip and fall, ambulance chasing. Good for nothing. Friggin lawyers. They’re all over the place. You’re trying to tie this administration into knots. They’re violating the Constitution. Their judges are with national CEOs and. Temporary injunctions and other sorts of things. And I’m very concerned about the Supreme Court. Maybe we’ll get a good decision from them. One of these states did this last decision the other day was as stupid as it gets. 5 to 4 decision. Did you see that one? Mr. Britain’s Supreme Court. Neil Gorsuch, writing the opinion for the majority, joined by the chief justice, of course, and the three usual Stalinists. And what was the issue, America? 60 days. 60 days. Involuntary deportations. Illegal alien says, Alright, I’m voluntarily leaving. Now, why do they do that? For a lot of reasons, including the fact that they have the right to get back in line to try and come in legal. I think there’s a ten year period or something. If you’re deported, you don’t. And there could be other reasons. And so one of these guys brings a lawsuit, I forget. If it’s the ACLU or one of the ethnic front groups, but they’re all funded enormously. All the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. And they’re arguing the 60 days include Saturday. Excuse me, Saturday. What do you mean? Well, we believe they mean 60 weekdays, not calendar days. Or better yet. 60 days. If you fall on a Saturday or Sunday and you’re paying your taxes. Neil Gorsuch reminds us it’s the Monday afterwards in which they’re doing things of that sort. Brilliant analysis. And so if you’re if you’re 60 days comes up on Saturday, like this guy’s dead, you don’t have to leave until Monday. Now, let’s just let’s just pull back a second. Why would the court take such a stupid case? Who cares? But why would the court get involved to extend the time of a self deporting illegal alien? Two or three more days. Not only is it. So stupid. With all the issues that we’re facing in the judiciary, even take it up. But that means another illegal alien who comes in. And says himself deporting and that illegal aliens 60 today is on a Friday they’re out. If you come in on a Saturday, you get two more days. So what do you think? All these illegal aliens are going to be advised to get a couple more days, Mr. Produce, to come in on a Saturday, Right. I mean, how stupid is this over two days? And Neil Gorsuch thought it was very important he even wrote the majority opinion. That’ll go down in history as a big one. My concern is that even that case in and of itself. My concern is if that is the mentality that the Supreme Court thinks it could literally interfere with the executive branch’s process over whether or not an illegal alien who’s voluntarily self deporting goes on a Saturday or Friday or a monday. Then when they how do they draw the line? When it comes to judicial tyranny here. It doesn’t sound like we can even rely on him. We’ll see. We’ll see. We’re waiting. We’re waiting and waiting. We’ve got more judges doing more crap today. Today. More staff. Unbelievable. This judicial tyranny. And it is a judicial tyranny. I guarantee you, all you have to do is look at the record. As these former federal prosecutors like to say. Look at the record, look at Madison’s notes. Look at the look at the notes that were taken at the ratification conventions. Read them. Read the Federalist Papers. Read the Anti-Federalist Papers. Read the. Read the. If you’re going to go on TV and radio and comment on this. There is simply no way any of them would have voted for a constitution that gives this kind of authority to the Supreme Court or any court period. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
I tell you about this saint mediator. I tell you about it because it’s a foil to me. It is an example of the entrails. Of the Democrat Party media, but it’s not big enough to be influential. And so they they want to create some kind of media operation. And it’s. It’s founded by and run by ultimately Dan Abrams. Dan Abrams has multiple personalities. He pretends he’s a real lawyer and a legal analyst. He’s the Jerry Springer of these cable court shows. Then he runs this crap website. And on this crap website, it’s drawn to my attention again that there’s an article or clip about pig. Hey, Pete, Haig says Mr. Producer and his makeup artist in studio. Did you see that? And so this is very important to them. And I, I post and I thought to myself, okay. Well, your great founder, the Jerry Springer of Cable. A legal analyst. Dan Abrams has the biggest wig on the top of his head than anybody I’ve ever seen. That’s what it is. Guys. Bob. I’m Bob. So what? But obviously it affects his psyche. Because he went out there and obviously shot a couple squirrels crazy, glued them to the top of his head, and then he thinks you don’t notice. Well, I notice. So I thought to myself, how come you don’t do an article about that? If you write about Pete Hegseth and make up, why don’t you worry about Dan Abrams and that massive fuzz ball on the top of his head? Where’s Colby? What’s Colby’s last name? Do you remember Mr. Producer Colby Hall, HELOC. I know. And then he has a bunch of similarly minded left wing kooks. Who make easy money. Basically taking headlines. Stories, clips from everybody else. They sit behind their computer on their iPhone all the time. I don’t know. What are they doing? They have their big lunch, you know. Or maybe they’re hanging out in the weeds somewhere. Maybe they’re smoking weed for all I know. What do I know? But most of them are leftist. They got one guy. Sure. I think his name is who’s sort of transitioning. He’s not sure. He goes from right to left to left to right. Very flexible, if you will. I think he’s sort of a a bi journalist. Does that make sense, Mr. BLITZER? Meaning He’s. He’s of two minds. What did you think of him? And so we’re waiting for the great story on a mediocre eight. Somebody send it to me. I don’t want to go there. On Dan Abrams and his wake. It’s not even a hairpiece. It’s bigger than a hairpiece. It’s like a rug. But don’t worry, nobody notices. These guys are so superficial. It’s like there’s Jon Stewart. What’s it? It’s Liebowitz or Lipschitz? I can’t remember. You don’t remember either. What is? It’s John Liebowitz. Now, he really changed his name because he didn’t. Unlike his father. Yeah. Yeah, We got a John Liebowitz. Got Jon Liebowitz with a phony name. You got Dan Abrams with phony hair, and you got a whole site mediocre, right? With a bunch of phonies, frauds and low I.Q. moron. I’ll be right back.
