On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the Iranian people desire freedom amid starvation and lack of water under a fundamentalist Islamic regime that spreads terrorism, including attempts to assassinate President Trump, and must be destroyed to prevent further threats, as either terrorists are killed or they kill others. Eliminating this regime aligns with U.S. national security interests, benefiting allies by impacting China, Russia, and Venezuela, without aiming to install democracy but occasionally aiding others when it serves mutual goals, countering the mindset of inaction. If that regime survives, it will be the greatest missed opportunity against terrorism and an avowed terror state ever. Diplomacy and negotiations are ridiculous words in the context of what's happening in Iran and what's happening to those brave people. Also, America is unraveling, with its founding principles under assault by groupism—all largely attributed to Democrats seeking permanent institutional control, as evidenced by attempts to imprison Trump and dominate culture, media, academia, entertainment, and science. The Democrat Party aims to undermine the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Electoral College, Supreme Court, and separation of powers while abusing the rule of law against opponents. Meanwhile, enemies within seek to replace the Republican Party with neo-fascist or Islamist variants, targeting all citizens, though they have failed so far; great republics collapse internally. Later, Sen Elizabeth Warren advocates for Democrats to embrace economic populism to regain ground in the 2026 midterms by focusing on lowering costs for families, mirroring Trump's messaging. Warren is a Marxist and populism is a leftist concept leading to socialism and tyranny, incompatible with the Constitution. Republicans need to counter Democrat by highlighting their failures in taxes, inflation, immigration, energy shortages, and Obamacare, while rejecting populism in favor of constitutional conservatism to win midterms and build trust.
