‘Let me help you out, dingbat!’ — Mark Levin savagely torches Rachel Maddow for accusing Trump of starting war with Venezuela



President Donald Trump obliterates Venezuelan drug boats smuggling loads of fentanyl into the United States, and the left accuses him of starting a war.

But it’s Venezuela’s narco‑terrorist regime that’s declared war on the United States, Mark Levin says, and President Trump has every right to respond as he sees fit.

Levin condemns radical left-wing pundits, like MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow, for accusing the Trump administration of starting a war with Venezuela.

“I don’t understand why we’re going to war with Venezuela, and I’m not sure the administration is even bothered to try to come up with anything even internally coherent,” she whined on the December 2 episode of “The Rachel Maddow Show.”

“Let me help you out, dingbat. Let me help you out,” Mark Levin fires back. “They are smuggling more drugs in the United States directly and through Mexico and with communist China than any other country on the face of the earth.”

For the first time in decades, he says, we have a president who actually takes seriously the Monroe Doctrine — an 1823 policy long abandoned or rejected by weak prior administrations that essentially says, “If something goes on in our hemisphere that affects our country, it’s our business, and we’re going to do something about it,” even if that means military action.

The accusation that Trump committed a war crime by striking a Venezuelan drug boat twice is just “sick” Democrat nonsense, Levin says.

“If another government ... headed by a narco-terrorist is using the power of that government and the resources of that government, of that country, to kill American citizens — it doesn’t matter if they do it with fentanyl drugs; it doesn’t matter if they do it with biochemicals; it doesn’t matter if they poison our water or whatever — these are acts of war,” he asserts.

He then mocks the pearl-clutching Democrats shedding fake tears because narco-terrorists aren’t being politely handcuffed and read Miranda rights.

It’s really simple, he says. “Look at that, a drug boat’s coming. I think we’re going to blow it out of the water. Yes.”

The Constitution, Levin says, gives the president, as the commander in chief, the right to order military actions (like blowing up Venezuelan drug boats) without a formal declaration of war.

He explains that throughout American history, the majority of military actions issued by presidents occurred without Congress declaring war first.

Back in 1801, President Jefferson launched a full overseas naval war against the Barbary pirate states, which were attacking and kidnapping American merchant ships and sailors, without any formal declaration of war.

Calling Trump a war criminal is just proof that it’s not about democracy or the Constitution for Democrats. It’s about ideology.

“They’re on the side of the enemy,” Levin says.

Mark Levin reveals what’s REALLY bankrupting Americans (it’s not billionaires)



One of the left’s favorite talking points is that extreme wealth concentration among billionaires is a major contributing factor to the financial struggles of everyday Americans. According to the logic of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, among other progressives, eliminate billionaires and you solve America’s economic problems.

But Mark Levin debunks this argument with ease: “The billionaires aren't our problem. They're irrelevant in terms of whether you succeed or not. Government's your problem because they take from you, they regulate you, they obstruct you.”

Billionaires, he explains, via investments and spending, actually pump their money back into the economy, which means “more capital, more research and development.” Then the money they save in banks just gives banks “more money to lend to ... you and me, Mr. and Mrs. America,” says Levin.

But the government with their excessive spending and never-ending list of regulations and taxes bar the American people from financial success.

“Try and open a restaurant ... maybe a doughnut-and-coffee place in your community. Watch all the red tape you have to go through,” says Levin. “That's not capitalism blocking you. That's socialism. That's government. That's politicians and bureaucrats.”

He gives another example of someone trying to increase his property value by adding a room to his house. Most will never see it happen because regulations will either forbid it or make it financially untenable for the homeowner.

Right now, we’re living in the aftermath of the Biden regime, Levin explains. “They spent like drunken Marxists, drove up the inflation rate. They were trying to manage the business world and individuals during the pandemic and did a horrendous job because so much of it was phony science and was politics.”

That’s why today, businesses like MacDonald’s are reporting massive declines in customer traffic for 2025. Robert Reich, secretary of labor under Bill Clinton, recently put out a video blaming it on Trump’s rigged economy, pointing to the contrast between booming stock market performance and the financial struggles of everyday Americans as evidence.

But Levin punctures his argument. “Any of you have pensions that aren't Social Security-related or government-related? ... Well, if the stock market collapses, so does your pension ... your IRA, your 401(k).” Further the stock market “reflects how well a business is doing. If a business is doing poorly, it's going to fire people, and it's going to have an effect on our economy.”

The government is the problem, he reiterates. “Tell me, when is the last time the government had a net reduction in spending?” he asks.

The national debt is sitting at $38 trillion, and that doesn’t even account for our “off books debt.”

“Meaning they owe Social Security recipients, Medicare recipients because they've taken all your money,” Levin explains, noting that the actual debt is “over $300 trillion.”

“The economy creates between 17 and 18 trillion a year. We're never going to pay that, are we? And so it's borrow, borrow, borrow, borrow,” he sighs.

No matter how the economy is doing, the government’s mindset is always the same: “Spend more.”

“In other words, there's no market system. There's no check and balance. There's no rational reason for this other than there are politicians who want to spend your taxes and then want to spend the money that's yet been created by your children and your grandchildren,” says Levin.

He destroys Reich’s faulty argument that Trump only gives tax breaks to the rich with three points:

One: Trump eliminated federal income tax on tips and overtime pay, gave a 15% tax cut to middle-income workers, eliminated tax on Social Security benefits for seniors, and added deductions for U.S.-made car loan interest.

Two: Billionaire tax breaks that “actively screw the middle class” would be electoral suicide on the part of the GOP.

Three: The vast majority of billionaires fund the Democrat Party and progressive activist groups.

The leftist argument that billionaires are the enemy is rooted in the Marxist framework of oppressed versus oppressor, Levin explains. It’s the left's go-to explanation for every problem the nation faces. While the economy is indeed an issue, pushing the blame on “oppressive” billionaires isn’t going to fix anything.

We’re still suffering from the horrific decisions of the Biden administration, Levin reminds us. It’s going to take time for the changes the Trump administration is implementing to be felt by the people. Further Levin urges his audience to go into the supermarket and look around at how many goods are available to us. “Capitalism is also about availability” — something media figures like Reich conveniently disregard.

“The benefits of this society are all around us ... not thanks to government or taxes or redistribution of wealth,” he says.

“There have always been people who are wealthier than the vast majority of the people, and you will find that in every Marxist fascist regime on the face of the earth; you will find it in every monarchy in the Middle East.”

“The difference is this. ... In our country, you can have enormous wealth, and you can lose enormous wealth. You could be born dirt poor, and you could become a millionaire if that's your objective. In other words, there's mobility in a free capitalist system. There is no mobility in a Marxist fascist monarchical system.”

Mark Levin reveals the leader he says could save Britain



Leftist policies have gutted Europe, with the U.K. and France serving as prime examples — once proud bastions of Western civilization, now barely recognizable as native cultures are systematically eroded under the guise of unchecked mass migration. Free speech is a relic of the past, crushed by tyrannical censors. Sky-high taxes strangle the working man, and suffocating bureaucratic overreach is the hallmark of these failing socialist regimes.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer sits at the helm of Britain’s descent into its dystopian nightmare.

“This is the guy that allowed these gang rapes by Pakistani immigrants of English girls that went on for years,” Mark Levin says, adding that under Starmer, “Crime is through the roof and mostly committed by recent immigrants” who are valued above natives.

England is a picture of what the United States was hurtling toward under Democratic rule. If Donald Trump hadn’t pulled our nation back from the cliff, Levin predicts we would’ve seen “the end” of America.

England needs its own Donald Trump now — a party that can effectively fight tyranny. Levin believes the Tories — the Conservative and Unionist Party — are the answer to Britain’s woes.

The party’s leader, Kemi Badenoch, is a woman Levin deeply respects and admires — a “superstar,” he calls her.

“She is brilliant. She is courageous. She is trying to defend Western culture and principles in Britain — the home of Western culture and principles,” he says.

He then plays a clip from Badenoch’s fiery parliamentary takedown of Keir Starmer’s weak-kneed Israel policy during a Middle East debate on October 14, during which she lambasted Labour’s appeasement of Hamas and vowed unyielding Tory solidarity with Israel’s fight against Islamist terror.

“The response from some in the West — the equivocation, the indulgence in whataboutery, and the drawing of false equivalence — shows how far moral clarity has eroded. And we have got a job to do here at home, Mr. Speaker, to fix this,” she fired.

She went on to praise President Trump for masterminding the Gaza ceasefire and condemned Starmer and his spineless Labour cronies for “rewarding terrorism” by recognizing Palestine sans hostage releases, for making “the wrong decisions time and again” that gutted Britain’s Middle East clout, and for their mealy-mouthed weakness that only emboldens Hamas butchers.

“She is fantastic,” Levin says.

“I hope she becomes prime minister,” he adds.

Levindication: Mark Levin's Mueller and Russia hoax diagnoses in 2019 were right on the money



The House Oversight Committee issued deposition subpoenas on Tuesday to the Department of Justice as well as to a number of high-profile former government officials "for testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein."

Among those whom Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) subpoenaed was Robert Mueller.

'I'm not going to mock this man.'

There are mounting doubts over whether Mueller — who was FBI director when child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein received immunity from federal prosecution through a non-prosecution agreement — will be able to testify before the committee.

If accurate, the basis of these doubts serves to vindicate the second of two diagnoses Blaze Media co-founder Mark Levin accurately made in the same segment six years ago.

Then

Mueller was appointed in May 2017 to oversee the DOJ's investigation into allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. His final report, which was released in April 2019, stated that the "investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

Following the publication of his report, Mueller testified before the House Judiciary Committee. It was a total disaster.

During the hearing, the former special counsel stuttered, blanked on critical pieces of information about his investigation, and struggled to hear questions.

After watching the hearing, Levin suggested that the former special counsel might have "onset dementia."

"Look, I've seen people with onset dementia. I'm not going to mock this man," Levin told "Fox & Friends." "He obviously shouldn't have been there. He should've never headed this investigation. I'm not making allegations. I'm not trying to be provocative, but the idea that Rod Rosenstein appointed this man to head the office is an outrage."

In addition to suggesting that Mueller's disastrous performance was the result of cognitive decline, Levin noted that "this is the greatest political scandal in American history, and it's still going on, and it was led by Obama, and it was led by Hillary Clinton."

'Mueller was used by some very vicious people.'

After noting how the FBI spied on the Trump campaign and made good use out of the bogus Steele dossier, Levin said, "They were trying to kill off the Trump campaign. ... This is Obama, Hillary, and their surrogates in law enforcement and in the intelligence agencies."

In an apparent effort to maximize confidence in Mueller's statements to Congress — including the former special counsel's suggestion that his report did not exonerate the president — Newsweek hit Levin on his first claim.

The liberal publication suggested that there was no evidence that Mueller had dementia, that "there are no credible reports of Mueller being unwell in any way," and that the allegation was part of an effort to "discredit the Mueller probe."

Now

Both of Levin's assertions appear to have been right on the money. Newsweek's doubts, on the other hand, appear to have been misplaced.

Paul Sperry, a senior reporter at RealClearInvestigations, revealed on Tuesday that sources told him that Mueller "has been living in a memory-care facility for the past few years."

Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) noted, "It was clear this is where things were heading when we questioned him before congress. Mueller was used by some very vicious people. I’m not sure he really ever knew what was happening in the investigation."

When asked by the Daily Caller about whether Mueller was indeed in a memory-care facility, a spokesman for the Oversight Committee declined to comment.

'More than vindication, I am disgusted and appalled by this.'

Levin's other diagnosis concerning Obama and Clinton's links to the Russia collusion hoax was also recently bolstered by documents declassified and shared by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

The Durham annex, declassified by Ratcliffe then published by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), revealed that the FBI was aware in 2016 of credible intelligence indicating that the Clinton campaign planned to smear Trump, falsely link him to Russia, then have the intelligence community carry the ball down the field.

The House Intelligence Committee majority staff report released last month by Gabbard revealed that the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment regarding imagined Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was a work of fiction, including comprising misquotes, unreliable reports, lies of omissions, and straight-out falsehoods.

As Levin deduced, Obama was directly involved — ordering the ICA in December — and the Steele dossier played a role, as it was incorporated in the assessment contrary to ex-CIA Director John Brennan's 2023 statement to Congress.

Levin told Blaze News, "Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are responsible for the greatest attack on our Republic from within our government. And they colluded and conspired with the American media, who worked with them every step of the way."

"More than vindication, I am disgusted and appalled by this and am thankful the administration is releasing internal government records and evidence and that a grand jury has been empaneled to criminally expose the reprobates who were involved," continued Levin. "It is also about time that Obama and Clinton will be questioned under oath — or sure as hell better be!"

Mark Levin explains the brilliance of Trump’s plans to reclaim Panama Canal and annex Greenland



Per usual, the left is hysterical about every single policy change and ambition proposed by Donald Trump. That includes his plans to reclaim the Panama Canal and annex Greenland.

Mark Levin, however, knows that these objectives are not just necessary, they’re downright brilliant.

“The Communist Chinese control both ends of [the Panama] Canal,” he says. Trump, in his wisdom, is asking, ‘“How the hell are we going to get our Navy from one ocean to the other if a horrible war breaks out?'”

As for Greenland, Trump knows that “Russia working with China is trying to take over the Arctic” and is attempting to “control Greenland,” Levin explains.

Trump’s answer to this problem is simple, yet genius: “Greenland should be a part of the United States.”

“Can you think of another president who thinks like this or would talk like this?” Levin asks in awe. “Nobody does.”

In his quest to acquire Greenland, Trump sent his son Don Jr. to the country a couple of weeks ago to speak with authorities.

“That's how you prevent wars,” Levin praises.

“I like [Trump’s] mindset,” he adds. “You know we used to have a Monroe Doctrine — anything that goes on in our hemisphere is our business: geographic, economic, or military.”

It seems this is exactly the doctrine Trump is employing, as he well should, considering “the Communist Chinese have more than 40 bases in our hemisphere,” and “their military [controls] both ends of the Panama Canal,” Levin says. Despite abundant claims that Trump is an “isolationist,” the truth is: “He believes in peace through strength.”

“He's going to need to build up the military given what Joe Biden, the fascist, has done. ... They’re going to have to change the mentality over there; that’s why we need Hegseth, that’s why we need Kash Patel at the FBI,” says Levin.

Even though the swamp is already working to thwart Donald Trump’s agenda, Levin knows that Trump is aware of what he’s up against this time.

“I'll leave it to Trump,” he says. “There's no better guy in terms of figuring these things out, getting things done ... than him.”

Unraveling Jerusalem's complex history: Levin explores Israel's ancient roots as Iran attacks



Never one to shy away from a challenge, Mark Levin of “LevinTV” flew across the world into a war zone — and was with his family as Iran shot missiles and flew drones into Israel.

And the response from the American government was not what Levin was hoping for.

“Biden puts out a statement late, that, ‘Okay, it was a massive success for Israel and the United States because our defense systems work.’ The hell is that? Any country that shoots 300 spitballs at another country is committing an act of war,” Levin says.

“Now, this is a Biden who funds the enemy, who arms the enemy, who then funds and arms their surrogate terrorists,” he continues, adding, “Israel’s now under the thumb of the most incompetent, stupid president."


While Israel’s existence is a contentious topic for many misled Americans, Rabbi Ken Spiro is not one of them — and from within the walls of Jerusalem, he dove deep into the historical and spiritual legacy of Judaism in Israel.

“We have this temple up here. This is the holiest spot for Judaism,” Levin says to Spiro. “So why is there a Muslim mosque on the holiest site of Judaism? How did that happen?”

“Around 500 years after our temple was destroyed, Islam became a world dominant religion. And when they came over here, they built it right on our center. Some say that in Islam, they like when they conquer a certain place to sort of erase the past history and claim it as their place,” Spiro explains.

“So how is it that their temple became, what, their third-holiest site, which is on the Jewish holiest site that has been the Jewish holiest site well before there was a Muslim faith? How is it then that Palestinians now claim that is their territory?”

“Because Moshe Dayan decided to leave it, that’s why,” he adds.

Inside source says 'Biden-Harris regime' is withholding THESE specific weapons from Israel



Israel continues to fight for its right to exist as Iran’s proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis — press on in their pursuit of the total elimination of the Jewish nation.

What is the Biden administration, or in the words of Mark Levin, “the Biden-Harris regime,” doing in response?

It’s withholding a long list of weapons from Israel, including:

  • 120mm tank ammunition
  • 120mm mortar ammunition
  • Medium tactical vehicles
  • Medium air-to-air missiles
  • F 15s
  • F-135 engines
  • Joint direct attack munition
  • MK-84 bombs
  • Rifles from Israeli national police forces
  • .338 medium machine guns
  • Guided missile systems

Biden & Harris are Withholding Weapons for Israelwww.youtube.com

This list was provided to Levin by “one of the most important individuals in the know,” he says.

“Now keep something in mind: All the appropriations for these weapon systems and the ammunition and so forth have already taken place (passed by Congress, signed by the president), but [Biden] is either withholding it or slow walking it,” Levin explains. “In other words, he's impounding funds,” which is “unconstitutional.”

According to Levin, Israel desperately needs the MK-84 bombs, for example, to “destroy the tunnels” and “to take out the Iranian nuclear sites.”

“But Biden doesn’t want them to take out those sites,” he sighs, pointing to the president’s hypocrisy in claiming that he’s withholding weaponry because “it might escalate things” while happily allowing Iran to build its nuclear armory.

The Biden-Harris regime has given “tens of billions of dollars to Iran ... authorized Iraq to continue to sell electricity to Iran,” and “authorized the laxed enforcement of the oil sanctions,” all of which have played a significant role in Iran’s GDP doubling since the Trump administration.

Further, Biden has paved the way for Iran’s “alliance with China and Russia and North Korea.”

Mark Levin: Biden’s DEI appointments RUINED the Secret Service



If there’s one thing that can be agreed upon across the political aisle, it’s that the Secret Service was horrifically incompetent on July 13 — and thus is an absolute embarrassment to the United States.

The Secret Service had one job — to protect former President Donald Trump. And the agency failed. Had he not turned his head at the last second, he would likely not be with us today.

Mark Levin is in utter disbelief that something like this could have happened.

“What’s very upsetting about this, though, is the more we learn, the more preposterous and outrageous this is,” Levin says. “This is a tiny local police department. Are you telling me the United States Secret Service delegated them authority for protection outside the protection zone?”

Meanwhile, the Secret Service did have a counter-sniper. So where was he?

“If you have a counter-sniper there, that counter-sniper, that’s his job to stay focused. To look for any other snipers or any other potential, you know, in the trees, on the buildings, and so forth. That’s his job,” Levin says.

“And now that we learn that they viewed that building as a vulnerable spot, and then we hear that for the local police it was a launching off for special ops,” he continues. “You’ve seen the video, the people yelling and saying, ‘There’s a guy up there with a gun, he’s up there, he’s up there now with a rifle.’”

Perhaps a good way to explain how this happened starts with the now-former director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle. Cheatle was head of security for PepsiCo before becoming Secret Service director.

“This is a DEI appointment by Joe Biden,” Levin says. “One of the focuses of this director of the Secret Service, and she’s made it public, ‘We want 30% female agents.’”

“Well, I want 100% competent agents. This is not a game,” he adds.
