Summary

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump believes a deal with Iran is close and has announced that the Strait of Hormuz is open. However, the Iranian regime consists of terrorists who think long-term beyond election cycles. The U.S. maintains strong military and economic pressure on Iran, with forces positioned in the region, and should not ease this grip. Also, forty Democrats voted against allowing the sale of specialized military bulldozers to Israel, while every Republican, including Sen Rand Paul, voted in favor. These bulldozers are used solely to clear minefields and save lives, particularly those of IDF soldiers, and were a significant part of the package Israel sought to purchase. Voting no effectively does the work of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis by blocking defensive tools that do not kill anyone.  Later, James Carville stated that if Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, they should on day one make D.C. and Puerto Rico states and expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. Democrats like Carville want to destroy our republic for their benefit. Finally, Buck Sexton calls in to discuss his new book, Manufacturing Delusion: How the Left Uses Brainwashing, Indoctrination, and Propaganda Against You.  He explains that after breaking down individuals through menticide, brainwashing, thought reform, and Pavlovian conditioning, the next phase is "identity construction." This process, achieved largely through propaganda, rebuilds people with a new, manufactured group identity that makes them operate as a single programmable entity serving the designers of the belief system. It strips away rationality, critical thinking, individual identity, and natural resistance to lies, rendering the new identity impervious to facts or evidence. Learn more about your ad choices.
