Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.

Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution, where learning is prized and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.

Thank you for listening and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

Hello, everybody. Mark Levin here, our number 877-3813811-877-3813811. Now, I hope we together can walk through this Iran situation.

They really take a hold of this as a citizenry. You know, ladies and gentlemen, what's troubling to me is that we have an Islamon Nazi terrorist state that tells us exactly what it plans to do.

And we have people in this country who are attacking the President of the United States. This is a regime that has killed hundreds of Americans and seeks nuclear missiles aimed at our country.

This is a regime that took Americans hostage for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of days. This is a regime that supports his bala, which slaughtered over 150 Marines as they slept in their barracks.

And I could go on. It is a regime now that is attacking oil freighters for the purpose of preventing commerce through the straits.

It is a regime that captured on the open seas. American sailors forced them on their knees to beg for their lives.

It is a regime that just shot one of our aircraft out of the sky. People can try to minimize this. There weren't any human beings on the aircraft.

That was our aircraft, $180 million. A surveillance aircraft. A spy aircraft. Apparently we can use the word spy in that context.

The red Chinese are watching. The land on the earth is watching. North Koreans are watching. Our enemies are watching all over the world. What America is going to do about this?

Congress has a brilliant idea. They want to debate it. They want to discuss whether they should fund any kind of military reaction.

In between their investigations of the President of the United States and in between their failures to secure the border. In between their explosive spending that shooting the debt through the ceiling.

They don't care about real time. Today's Thursday. Most of them are jets heading back home. God's on his truth.

Busy undermining the authority of the Commander-in-Chief all over the world with their accusations about him.

Congress doesn't plan to do anything except if the President actually does something and claims he's violating the Constitution.

Then we have the hard left in this country that believes we are a warm-mongering country. That we're responsible for these regimes in the world that do what they do.

Then we have these Code Pink Republicans. You've seen them on TV. You've heard them on radio.

Sort of the Buchananite types. But more than just him. Who say, you know, we've seen enough war. We've been in enough fights. We've spent enough money. Enough is enough.

What is the right position?

The right position is not to be an ideologue about this sort of thing. I've told you many times conservatism is not an ideology. It's a way of life. It's a reality.
