Speaker 1: My buddy and longtime Trump supporter, the great one himself,
Speaker 1: Mark Levin, is turning heads with an about face on
Speaker 1: his steadfast backing of the president. The Fox News host,
Speaker 1: speaking on his eponymous radio show, broke solidarity with Trump
Speaker 1: over his recent attacks on the Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky,
Speaker 1: warning Trump that quote MAGA doesn't support Putin. Levin said,
Speaker 1: Trump's recent accusations that Zelensky is a dictator and that
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian leader is stopping free elections and has a very.
Speaker 2: Low approval rating are all false.
Speaker 1: Levin said, in part quote, Zelensky ordered martial law.
Speaker 2: That's what the constitution they're compelled.
Speaker 1: Zelensky hasn't called for an election, That's what the constitution
Speaker 1: that compels. Now I'm waiting for the first free election
Speaker 1: for Vladimir Putin. I mean, this is almost comical in
Speaker 1: a sick way that Putin is.
Speaker 2: Demanding an election.
Speaker 1: Why is he demanding an election in Ukraine when he
Speaker 1: doesn't have free in real life elections in his own country.
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 1: There are people that not only oppose Zelenski but seem
Speaker 1: to support Putin. Levin wasn't finished. He continued, Ukraine did
Speaker 1: not invade Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine doesn't have the
Speaker 1: industrial might that a Russia has or a China. They
Speaker 1: didn't start this war. What were they supposed to do?
Speaker 1: Rollover and play dead. MAGA doesn't support Putin. Eighty one
Speaker 1: percent of the American people do not trust Putin because
Speaker 1: eighty one percent.
Speaker 2: Of the American people are smart. End quote.
Speaker 1: As a reminder, here's what Trump said on truth Social
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, quote think of it. A modestly successful comedian
Speaker 1: Vladimyer Zelensky talked the United States of America and is
Speaker 1: spending three hundred and fifty billion dollars to go into
Speaker 1: a war that couldn't be won, that never had to start,
Speaker 1: but a war that he without the US and Trump
Speaker 1: will never be able to settle. The United States has
Speaker 1: spent two hundred billion dollars more than Europe, and Europe's
Speaker 1: money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back.
Speaker 2: Why didn't sleepy Joe Biden demand.
Speaker 1: Equalization and that this war is far more important to
Speaker 1: Europe than it is to us. We have a big,
Speaker 1: beautiful ocean a separation. On top of this, Zelensky admits
Speaker 1: that half of the money we sent them is missing.
Speaker 1: He refuses to have elections, is very low in Ukrainian polls,
Speaker 1: and the only thing he was good at was playing
Speaker 1: Biden like a fiddle to dictate it without elections. Zolensky
Speaker 1: better move fast or he's not going to have a
Speaker 1: country left. I can't take it no more, give it all,
Speaker 1: Just stop it, guys. I don't need to read more
Speaker 1: than this. First of all, Trump is full of it.
Speaker 1: And what we need to understand is that this looks very,
Speaker 1: very bad if people will open their freaking eyes. Because
Speaker 1: once again, in a situation involving pooent and Russia, Trump
Speaker 1: comes across more favorable towards Poo than the other party.
Speaker 2: Russia invaded Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Russia initiated the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives.
Speaker 1: Russia is considered the one with a dictator. Ukraine only
Speaker 1: wants his own sovereignty. It's on sovereign land. Now they're
Speaker 1: talking about joining the EU, which they need to, and
Speaker 1: I get all of that, but we're talking about a
Speaker 1: country that's been invaded. Now you can make a debate.
Speaker 1: You can make an argument that the United States give
Speaker 1: them too much money.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: You can say that Joe Biden the elect to give
Speaker 1: them too much money, okay, But to turn around and
Speaker 1: call them a dictator while speaking favorably of Putin makes
Speaker 1: no sense. And props to Mark Levin for calling it out.
Speaker 1: Let me give y'all a background, because see, people see
Speaker 1: me talking to liberals and they know that I voted
Speaker 1: for Kamala Harris and stuff like that. John Handedy is
Speaker 1: not my only buddy, so is Mark Levin. I've known
Speaker 1: him for twenty years. I'm on his show frequently. He
Speaker 1: calls me all the time. His nickname is the Great One.
Speaker 2: You know why.
Speaker 1: I think it's appropriate because I've never seen an individual
Speaker 1: in my life that wanted to debate that man because
Speaker 1: he knows what the hell he's talking about. Constitutional law
Speaker 1: expert for those of you who don't know. And I
Speaker 1: almost never hear him speaking against diehard Republicans. He might
Speaker 1: be going to get rhinos Republicans and name only. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll call him out, but he certainly never spoke against Trump.
Speaker 1: He's been one of the most staunched supporters of Trump.
Speaker 1: So for Trump to be called out by him, there's
Speaker 1: a big, big deal.
Speaker 2: You're listening to me showing handedy. Are you listening?
Speaker 1: I mean when you call me on as a guest
Speaker 1: and your show is Handedy Handedy nine pm week nights,
Speaker 1: nine pm Eastern Standard Time on Fox News, where I
Speaker 1: have visited frequently.
Speaker 2: I ain't hear your call about this one, Sean Hannity,
Speaker 2: what's up.
Speaker 1: I don't hear you talking now that the Great One
Speaker 1: has disagreed with your boy Donald Trump. See what the
Speaker 1: Republicans are gonna have to get beyond. And I'm not
Speaker 1: casting any dispersions on let me be very very clear.
Speaker 1: Friends with Hannity Levin. I'm a fan of Megan Kelly
Speaker 1: and the work that she does. I really really am.
Speaker 1: I was on Dave Ruben's podcast.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. I mean, you know, I've known Chris
Speaker 2: Christy for years.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of Republicans and there's plenty of conservative policies
Speaker 1: that I.
Speaker 2: Don't mind a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't like either, though, But here's the deal. I
Speaker 1: bring all of that up to say right is right
Speaker 1: and wrong is wrong. And I appreciate Mark Levin being
Speaker 1: one of those Republicans that doesn't say that Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is spreading perfume when he's passing gas.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that because somebody gotta do it.
Speaker 1: If you don't have people on the right that, I'm
Speaker 1: not willing to say to Donald Trump, Yo, man, you're
Speaker 1: going a bit too far. Yo man, I think this
Speaker 1: is the wrong way to go. I don't think this
Speaker 1: is good for the country. I don't think this is
Speaker 1: good for the world. I think you're wrong in this one.
Speaker 1: As Mark Levin articulated very eloquently, I might add, if
Speaker 1: you don't have anybody on the right that's willing.
Speaker 2: To do that, then we are in trouble. See.
Speaker 1: To me, the issue of Trump being in office is
Speaker 1: not the biggest issue.
Speaker 2: It's him being in the office devoid of checks and balances.
Speaker 1: I don't mind him being in his office more than
Speaker 1: I mind the Republicans having both the House and the
Speaker 1: Senate and he gets to operate with impunity. That's my fear.
Speaker 1: But Mark Levin provided everybody hope see, and just to
Speaker 1: remind y'all, just as an aside, Republicans are welcome on
Speaker 1: the show. If you ain't seen them on, they it's
Speaker 1: because they haven't elected to come Byron Donald's been on
Speaker 1: the show before. We've put out personal invitations to Marco Rubio,
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz, jd Vance, Donald Trump himself. Okay, handed he's
Speaker 1: already been on this show. I don't have any problems.
Speaker 1: I'm a fair minded individual. I'm an independent I want
Speaker 1: both sides expressing themselves to.
Speaker 2: The American people.
Speaker 1: I don't have to be an expert, mister James Carvel
Speaker 1: to interview somebody and to get their perspective, to let
Speaker 1: the American people hear what they have to say, and
Speaker 1: then you.
Speaker 2: Be the judge.
Speaker 1: But I know this much, I don't need to be
Speaker 1: an expert on the war in Ukraine to recognize the
Speaker 1: fact that Russia did attack them. You could talk about
Speaker 1: the history of the role of the United States played
Speaker 1: in it. You know, you could talk about that all
Speaker 1: day long. I got my notes on that stuff. We
Speaker 1: can get into that another day. In the end, Russia
Speaker 1: elected to attack Ukraine. And because Russia elected to do that,
Speaker 1: you can't get around that. You can't be talking about
Speaker 1: Russia like they're the friendly folds that they didn't instigate
Speaker 1: this war. Mark Levin was absolutely right. I was a
Speaker 1: fan of his show to begin with, but I appreciated
Speaker 1: him even more today because when you take the kind
Speaker 1: of stance that he has taken against Donald Trump. It
Speaker 1: shows that you're trustworthy. I knew that before and before,
Speaker 1: but I know it even more now.
Speaker 2: Let's see if the rest follows. Okay, somebody farting passing
Speaker 2: gas is farting in passing gas. It's not perfume.
Speaker 1: It's nice to see somebody on the right willing to
Speaker 1: call it like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, right is right.
Speaker 1: Wrong is wrong Donald Trump and going after Selensky, Nah,
Speaker 1: you ain't got any business doing that. You don't want
Speaker 1: to give you more money, don't give you more money.
Speaker 1: But you ain't got to talk about him like that,
Speaker 1: like he's the villain and all of this. That's going
Speaker 1: a bit too far.
