Mark Levin Compares Trump to FDR — And He's Right

Mark Levin Compares Trump to FDR — And He's Right

Mark Levin went on Fox and compared Donald Trump to Franklin Roosevelt — Trump going after Republicans like Thomas Massie in primaries is FDR purging the Democrats in 1938, and Levin says it's a good thing. Here's the twist: he's right. It IS the FDR playbook. He's just wrong about what that means — because the FDR story isn't a story about a leader purifying his party. It's a story about a leader capturing it. Levin spent thirty years calling FDR the villain of American big government. So when he holds FDR up as the model, he's not paying Trump a compliment. He's handing you an indictment — and betting you won't read the documents to see it. I did read them. And I was in the room for the 2024 version. I was elected by the Republicans of Idaho to the RNC Platform Committee. Our phones were sealed in Faraday bags. We were handed a finished platform nobody had been allowed to see, written in one man's voice, and told to bless it and stay quiet. In this episode I lay the whole thing out — with the actual party platforms, ninety years of history, and the artifacts I carried out of that room. Read them yourself.

ED GALLREIN WANTS YOUR CHILDREN | The Draft Is Slavery

The most consequential 72 hours of the 2026 cycle. Ed Gallrein wants the draft back. Pete Hegseth is flying to Kentucky to rescue him. The primary is Tuesday. In this episode of Bring Our Troops Home, Dan McKnight breaks down Ed Gallrein's own words from his Speak Video podcast appearance — where the retired Navy SEAL Captain and Trump-endorsed congressional candidate calls the all-volunteer force a "deeply flawed concept," says our adversaries are "the happiest people in the world" we don't draft American sons, and says he'd be "advocating" to war-game the draft's return. Then Dan walks through: — The 13th Amendment and why conscription is involuntary servitude — Daniel Webster's 1814 speech against Madison's conscription bill — The Israeli billionaire donor class that has spent $10 million to defeat Thomas Massie — The 7-day timeline that proves capture: Chamber endorsement → Massie's FARA bill → Secretary of War's Kentucky trip → Tuesday primary — Why Pete Hegseth may be violating the Hatch Act — And the dereliction of duty of abandoning his post while 25,000+ American troops are under cruise missile fire in the Persian Gulf 72 hours.

Thomas Massie: America's Last Congressman

On Tuesday, May 19th, the Republican voters of Kentucky's 4th Congressional District will decide whether the most consistent antiwar vote in the United States Congress keeps his seat. His name is Thomas Massie. He is the natural successor to Ron Paul. He opposed the war in Syria, the war in Afghanistan, the war in Yemen, the war in Ukraine, military action in Venezuela, and the war in Iran. He votes against foreign aid — every time. He forced the release of the Epstein files when his own leadership tried to bury it. And in 2023, he publicly endorsed our signature legislation, the Defend the Guard Act. Three out-of-state billionaires — Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson — are spending whatever it takes to remove him from Congress. AIPAC has spent $2.6 million. The Republican Jewish Coalition has spent $4 million. Christians United for Israel is in the mix. According to Massie himself on Tucker Carlson, 95% of the money attacking him is coming from the Israel lobby. Meanwhile, Thomas Massie has raised $2.3 million in a single moneybomb — from hundreds of thousands of small-dollar donors across the country. The contrast is the entire story of this race. In this episode: * Why the MAGA movement is scattering — and what Massie still stands for * Trump's smear campaign: from "LOSER" to attacking Massie's late wife and new marriage * The parallel pattern: Joe Kent, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and now Massie — same playbook, three different smears * Following the money: the three billionaires, AIPAC, and the consultant orchestrating it all * Neocon Idol returns: Chris LaCivita, the Marine who built his career attacking other veterans' service records * The polls vs. the crosstabs: why every voter under 65 backs Massie, and why the Fox News boomercon vote is propping up his opponent * Massie's 2023 Defend the Guard endorsement — and why the Pentagon brass is doing exactly what he warned about THREE ACTIONS BEFORE TUESDAY: 1. If you live in Kentucky's 4th District (Boone, Kenton, Campbell, and surrounding counties), VOTE on Tuesday, May 19th. 2. If you live anywhere else in America, contribute at MassieMoneybomb.com 3.

Scott Horton Walked Out of Joe Rogan's Studio and We Got Him Next

A few hours after Scott Horton walked out of his first appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Dan McKnight sat him down to debrief. What he covered, the one sentence he most wants Joe's audience to remember, the truth about Iran's nuclear program, the eleven-bombs-in-two-weeks story, Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal — and what Robert Kagan is suddenly admitting now that America's bluff in the Gulf has been called. Scott Horton is the editorial director of Antiwar.com, director of the Libertarian Institute, and author of Fool's Errand, Enough Already, Hotter Than the Sun, and Provoked. He has done more than 5,000 long-form interviews since 2003. —— FOLLOW SCOTT HORTON ——Scott Horton Academy: https://scotthortonacademy.com/X / Twitter: https://x.com/scotthortonshowLibertarian Institute: https://libertarianinstitute.org/Antiwar.com: https://antiwar.com/ —— RAGE AGAINST THE WAR MACHINE — GRAND RAPIDS ——Sunday, May 24, 2026 | 6:00 PM – 9:00 PMDeVos Center, Grand Rapids, MI(Same venue as the Libertarian National Convention)Donate to support the rally: https://givebutter.com/rage-against-the-war-in-machine-grand-rapids-m89ltz —— FOLLOW BRING OUR TROOPS HOME ——Website: https://BringOurTroopsHome.USDefend the Guard: https://DefendTheGuard.USX / Twitter: https://x.com/TroopsHomeUSYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TroopsHomeUSFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TroopsHomeUSDan McKnight on X: https://x.com/Danmcknight30 #BringOurTroopsHome #DefendTheGuard #ScottHorton #JoeRogan #RageAgainstTheWarMachine #EndTheWars #Article1

Did Mossad Convert America's Top General?

On September 11th, 2001, Major Dan Caine was an Air National Guard F-16 pilot scrambled out of Andrews Air Force Base — with the authority to shoot down Flight 93 if it came for the Capital. He told his wingman: "Don't shoot anybody. I'll make the decision." Twenty-five years later, that same man — now Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — was reportedly walked over the line into supporting the Iran war by the Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff, the head of Mossad, and the head of IDF Intelligence in a sustained influence campaign that lasted about three weeks. In this episode, Dan McKnight tells the story of two warriors who started in the same place and ended in two very different ones. The first — General Dan Caine — was reported by Axios to be a "reluctant warrior" on Iran in early February 2026. By February 28th, when Operation Epic Fury launched, the Jerusalem Post had reported that Israeli officials had successfully "brought him on board." On April 16th, Caine told a Pentagon press briefing that American forces are "ready to resume major combat operations at literally a moment's notice." The second — Joe Kent, former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center — refused to be converted. He resigned. He spoke. And last weekend at the Ron Paul Institute's spring conference in Lake Jackson, Texas, he sat down with Dan and endorsed Defend the Guard on camera, calling state-level legislation to prevent Guard units from being deployed to undeclared wars "huge." This episode also features:— Brian McGlinchey of Stark Realities on the Mossad briefing he calls one that will "live in infamy"— Professor Robert Pape of the University of Chicago on the escalation trap and the doctrine America has abandoned— Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on what it actually means when a President calls a member of his own coalition a traitor The lesson is not to find a better person.The lesson is to stop depending on individuals to override an institutional machine. That structural answer is Defend the Guard.
