Meanwhile down the street from the fair at the reflecting pool the National Guard is patrolling for loiters as a recorded announcement warns people to keep it moving. Rep.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries discusses last night's primary elections, including the races in New York in which candidates backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani defeated candidates backed by Jeffries.

While it is not unusual for Donald Trump to appoint completely unqualified people to important jobs in his administration, his choice of Bill Pulte, a Mar-a-Lago suck-up who Trump had already gifted the position of director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to be the new Director of National Intelligence is too far for many Republicans who are already dealing with the burden of association with Trump's unpopularity.

So Eric Trump is suing Jen Psaki. And I don't even care what the lawsuit is about. Seriously. At this point, if a Trump sues a Democrat, I assume somewhere there's a fax machine crying and three MSNBC producers stress-eating hummus.But I love the symbolism of it. Because for years these people weaponized government against Trump, weaponized the courts, weaponized intelligence agencies, weaponized leaks, weaponized social media. Democrats turned America into the world's first bureaucratic escape room. Every day under Trump was another clue: “To continue your presidency, solve this puzzle hidden inside a subpoena wrapped in a Russia hoax.”Now? Eric Trump says, “Cool. Your turn.”And suddenly the Left discovers legal fees are expensive when USAID isn't covering them.That's the beauty of MAGA. It's not just political anymore. It's cultural gravity. Trump didn't simply survive. He turned political persecution into a franchise model. Democrats thought they were building his prison cell. Instead they built a gymnasium where conservatives learned how to fight.And spare me this media fairy tale that MAGA is “falling apart.” They've been predicting the death of MAGA longer than Al Gore's been predicting the death of the planet. According to cable news, MAGA has died more times than Kenny on South Park.They tell us conservatives are furious with Trump over war policy, personality, tariffs, tone, Truth Social posts, golf scores, the angle of his tie, and probably the migration pattern of geese. Yet somehow, every Republican who publicly betrayed Trump politically evaporated like cheap cologne in Phoenix.Ten out of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump? Gone.Five Republican Senators tied to impeachment efforts? Gone, including Bill Cassidy.The Bush dynasty? Politically taxidermied.Cheneys? The political equivalent of Circuit City.Romneys? Finished.Pence? Mike Pence has less support in the Republican Party than gluten-free biscuits at a Texas rodeo.And this matters historically because the Republican establishment used to operate like a country club with a velvet rope. You got approved by donors, consultants, think tanks, and guys named Whitaker who own loafers without socks. Trump bulldozed that system. MAGA voters looked at decades of “managed decline” from polished Republicans and said, “Maybe the billionaire from Queens screaming at CNN is onto something.”And here's the part the Left still cannot process: MAGA isn't held together by government dependency. That's why it survives attacks.Leftism? Different story entirely.Leftism would collapse inside a month if it had to survive without taxpayer subsidies and foreign influence money. One month. Thirty days. The political equivalent of a juice cleanse.Because modern Leftism produces almost nothing organically anymore. Every institution props it up artificially: academia, entertainment, NGOs, government grants, corporate DEI departments, media partnerships, foreign donors. It's the ideological version of a patient connected to fourteen machines going beep-beep-beep while MSNBC doctors stand around saying, “Vitals look strong!”No they don't.Imagine if Leftists had to balance a budget. Imagine if they had to run cities without deficits, corruption, or dependency. Imagine if they couldn't endlessly siphon taxpayer money into “equity initiatives” that somehow always end with consultants buying vacation homes.Meanwhile, conservatives already do what Leftists only hashtag about. They donate more privately. Volunteer more. Build businesses. Create jobs. Show up after disasters with chainsaws and bottled water instead of interpretive dance and pronoun worksheets.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jen Psaki points out that Republicans in Congress are increasingly losing their motivation to follow Donald Trump through his wildly unpopular vanity projects and destructive policies that are hurting Americans.

Senator John Cornyn committed no act of defiance against Trump, and, in fact, debased himself in a desperate appeal for Trump's favor, only to be stabbed in the back when Trump endorsed his exceptionally compromised opponent. Tim Miller, host of The Bulwark podcast, and Jim Messina, campaign manager for Barack Obama's 2012 campaign, talk with Jen Psaki about the wildly expensive Republican primary in Kentucky in which Trump insisted on supporting a challenger candidate, and the millions the Republican Party sank into the Texas Republican Senate primary before Trump finally endorsed a deeply flawed candidate.

Jen Psaki looks at the political convenience of JD Vance's new anti-fraud talking points as he struggles to demonstrate some relevance while the rest of the Trump administration goes to China.

The Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act followed closely by Virginia's supreme court rejecting their new redistricting has taken the wind out of Democratic sails, but the actual math and other political factors still favor Democrats re-taking the House in this year's elections.

This smart redistricting move protects President Trump's agenda and strengthens Republican control of the House. Democrats threw a tantrum — waving signs, blowing air horns, and storming out — while Rep. Steve Cohen (D) vowed to sue. But Tennessee patriots are fighting back against the radical Left and securing fair representation.

Barack Obama lectured Democrats about talking like "normal people" and avoiding "gobbledygook" — the same guy whose signature achievement is a 2,000-page bureaucratic monster called Obamacare. Then he said he wants a "loyal opposition" from Republicans, apparently forgetting he destroyed the characters of John McCain and Mitt Romney when they were exactly that. Meanwhile, Jen Psaki celebrated that there's "no dark room" choosing the 2028 nominee — which is literally how Kamala Harris got the nomination.

Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost explains to Jen Psaki that DeSantis knows Trump well enough to know that the best way to get in Trump's good graces is to show fealty to him, so he has joined the game other Republican governors are playing to rig their states' congressional districts to favor Trump.

As Donald Trump becomes ever more brazenly corrupt, finding ways to use his power over the federal government to enrich himself and his cronies, Americans are realizing the "checks and balances" they learned about in school are not happening because the Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress are doing everything in their power to make sure nothing gets in Trump's way. The result is that giving Congress the ability to hold Donald Trump accountable has become a campaign issue for Democrats. Jen Psaki explains. Senator Jon Ossoff joins to discuss the importance of Democrats flipping the Senate to ensure accountability for Donald Trump. Senator Cory Booker talks with Jen Psaki about how Donald Trump's incompetence has created a situation in which he needs skilled, qualified staff to clean up his messes, but is now suffering the consequences of not having hired based on those skills in the first place.  To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Virginia voters agreed to a redistricting plan that could increase the number of Democratic members of the House after this year's midterm elections, helping to balance the rigging Donald Trump tried to push Republican states to do.

Jen Psaki looks at how Donald Trump and his team of apologists have run out of answers and excuses for high consumer prices and high gas prices in particular, and the burden that is putting on other Republicans. And then, as if he hadn't lost enough support for his anti-immigrant campaign of terror, starting an unnecessary war, and causing a huge spike in gas prices, Trump compared himself to Jesus.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, President Trump is calling the shots in the Iran war. He acts in U.S. interests by viewing a nuclear Iran as a grave threat, and maintains a close alliance with Israel through military, intelligence, and personal ties with Benjamin Netanyahu. He's not secretly controlled by the Israelis or an Israel lobby as Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson suggest. Also, Jack Smith's team secretly sought years of Kash Patel's, Sen Ted Cruz and other lawmakers phone records and other information. The Biden regime orchestrated a massive criminal assault on the American political system by targeting Republican senators, congressmen, the sitting president seeking re-election, and his associates. All three branches of government effectively colluded against Trump and his supporters—an unprecedented abuse never before seen in U.S. history. Later, after 47 years, the Iranian regime does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Even after its top and second-tier leadership has been wiped out and its military pounded, the regime refuses any deal and says no deal rather than surrender. Democrats and figures like Tony Blinken, Jen Psaki, Christopher Wray, Lloyd Austin, and Chris Murphy repeatedly warned that Iran would soon get nuclear weapons yet now undermine the current president who is acting. Even more disgusting are Woke Reich—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, and Joe Kent—who are traitors for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, spreading conspiracy theories, American hatred, and Jew hatred. Then, the only threat to DHS and TSA comes from the Democrat Party in Congress, amid a war with Iran. The Democrat Party does not care, as the party itself—not the country or working Americans—is its most important institution. They have decided to blackmail America – either cripple ICE or DHS won't be funded. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, after 47 years, the Iranian regime does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Even after its top and second-tier leadership has been wiped out and its military pounded, the regime refuses any deal and says no deal rather than surrender. Democrats and figures like Tony Blinken, Jen Psaki, Christopher Wray, Lloyd Austin, and Chris Murphy repeatedly warned that Iran would soon get nuclear weapons yet now undermine the current president who is acting. Even more disgusting are the Woke Reich—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Joe Kent and others—who are traitors for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, spreading conspiracy theories, American hatred, and Jew hatred. This anti-war drumbeat aims to dispirit and disunite Americans during a righteous, noble campaign. Also, a new analysis of social media activity during the opening days of Operation Epic Fury reveals that much of the online backlash and anti-Israel content was not driven by Americans. 60% of the most viral posts on X mentioning Iran originated from accounts based outside the United States, despite often presenting themselves as American voices using U.S. political language and debates. These foreign influence campaigns, including from Iran, amplify anti-Israel messaging while disguising it as domestic U.S. opinion, exploiting podcast algorithms and overseas engagement for financial gain among the Woke Reich. Later, Lee Smith calls in to discuss his new book - The China Matrix: The Epic Story of How Donald Trump Shattered a Deadly Pact. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
