On Thursday’s broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Mark Levin tore into Tucker Carlson as an antisemite and complained former Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent snubbed his show in favor of Carlson’s. Levin argued that Joe Kent is not immune from prosecution over allegations he leaked classified information, criticizing allies who say he “better not be charged.”

MARK LEVIN: We have a power-packed show for you this evening, all three hours. You’re going to love it. Well, well, well. Something called Notice.org, on the Trump White House and Joe Kent and so forth and so on. Jose Piglieri and Jasmine Wright. It’s a legitimate site, by the way. FBI Director Kash Patel has privately indicated a desire to make public as much information as possible about material allegedly leaked by Joe Kent. He resigned this week as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. According to law enforcement, Mr. Producer, would you open your microphone, please? Have we heard back from Mr. Kent? I am still waiting. I sent him a DM yesterday. Okay, we’ve tried… Tried. What am I, Daffy Duck? We tried twice to get Mr. Kent on the program. Including before he did his spectacular propaganda Iranian event with America’s anti-Semite, America’s Christian hater, America’s America hater, that would be Qataris. By the way, he charged for that interview, if you wanted to watch it. He had to sign up for his monthly deal, $ 9 a month. So I said, look, a friend of mine watched. I can’t watch this stuff. It’s just too stupid. He watched, and he said, guess what name was the most often mentioned, and a lot, by Kent and Qatarlson. I said, let me guess. He said, yes, you. Me. And the reason is, you see, Qatarlson is a real slimeball, so he says, I’m not attacking him, I’m not questioning him, but he wants to put a target on the back of my head. That’s what he’s doing. And I’m not the only one. He’s attacking others, too. But apparently he’s obsessed with me. Obsessed with me. So is Deep Throat, Mr. Producer. No, I won’t get into that right now. I’ll save that for another day. Did I just violate my own promise, Mr. Producer? I didn’t say who she was, right? Okay. So I never mentioned her, did I? And I don’t know what people are thinking, you know, during Watergate, the deputy FBI director was obviously leaking, not obviously, he was outed after he died, to the Washington Post, Woodward and Bernstein. And they called him Deep Throat, and they wrote a whole book called Deep Throat, and they did a whole movie called Deep Throat. That’s what I’m referring to, of course. Anyway, let’s move on. Patel believes declassifications could head off accusations, that the timing of the investigation into Kent makes it appear as if the administration is retaliating against him for quitting his post and publicly breaking with the White House over its war on Iran. The source said, look, I don’t talk to Kash Patel, not because I don’t like him, I do like him, but there’s nothing to talk about, but I would advise him over the air publicly, openly. Don’t worry about these people, Kash. They have no clout. They call themselves influencers. They’re de-influencers. Nothing they’ve tried to do to sabotage this country has worked. And 100% of MAGA supports Trump, and 0% support them. So we’ve got another poll in the New York Post that I’ll get to in a moment. It’s investigating alleged leaking of classified information by Kent, according to two government officials. It’s actually according to four. Semafor said, four. Once the investigation is complete, the findings will be sent to the Justice Department, which would then decide whether to fire criminal charges. Now, it’s very interesting. This guy, General Mike Flynn, who’s turned out to be a real whack job, and he’s not the only one. I know, all these people who you thought were good, who I defended personally, day in and day out. Just very, very absurd. But I can’t control it. It’s them. It’s not us. Now, that said, they’re putting things out there. He better not be prosecuted. He better not be tried. They’re not saying he didn’t do it. They’re not saying he shouldn’t have done it. They’re not saying, well, let’s wait for the evidence. What they’re saying is, they better not prosecute Kent. So now he’s immune? He’s immune because he undermined the president? And allegedly leaked? I’m not done with this article. Goes on. The defection of Kent, a former Green Beret commando, with strong MAGA credentials. What are the strong MAGA credentials? The guy voted for Bernie Sanders in 2020. He was a Democrat. He switches to Republican. Now, in 2020, he votes for Sanders. Does that mean he voted for Biden in 2020? I don’t have any idea. Well, he couldn’t have. He voted for Sanders. You get my point. In the general election. So he’s a recent Republican. He wasn’t always a Trump supporter, except when he decided to run for Congress twice and lost, and all of a sudden he moved right. Now he’s moved left. It set off a firestorm in Washington. Quote, I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started the war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. So Bloomberg, taking the bait, and not just them, they contacted us, you know. Is it true Mark Levin lobbied for the war? I didn’t lobby anybody for anything. Everything I said was behind this microphone and on television. Everything. Everything. Isn’t that crazy? But Tucker said it, so you get, this guy has leaked so much to the media, they work very closely together. You think these are, now, these woke right types are very close to the media. Politico, Bloomberg, Washington Post, New York Times, because they trade on this stuff. They want to undermine you and me, Mr. and Mrs. America. Red-blooded Americans. So these are all grifters, and they trade on this stuff, they always say, you know, the establishment. They are the establishment. Look at the woke right podcasters. They’re the establishment. They’ve been in the media. And by that, pretend journalist. Oh, I’m a journalist. Oh, I am a journalist. He used to support taking out the ballistic missiles. He used to support. I wanted to question him. I’ve got everything right here, like a good prosecutor. And Joe Kent won’t show up. Now, either his lawyer told him, don’t do it, or Qatarlson told him, don’t do it, because obviously I would ask him about all his communications with Qatarlson. Why not? Or Megyn Kelly, or Candace Owens, or anybody else. I want to know who he’s communicated with. If he hasn’t leaked, he has no problem. He can say, look, I talk to these people all the time, but I never gave them confidential or classified information. That’s a perfectly legitimate answer. Maybe they’re all friends. But that’s not really what I’m talking about, is it? But I’m a journalist. I can talk to. Shut up, you idiot. A law enforcement source said FBI agents had determined Kent shared secret government information with disaffected MAGA media figures like Tucker Carlson. This is what they wrote. I don’t know if this is true. I want to know. I put a post out on social media saying, look, just tell us. Just tell us. Did Joe Kent provide you with any government information? Did he provide you with any confidential or classified information? If not, just say no. Nobody gave me any classified or confidential information. I can say no. Now, what about him? Inquiring minds want to know. Tucker, a second administration official said that Kent leaked classified information from a server to a member of the media. Now, this is why the media is circling the wagons around Kent and around the woke, right neo-fascists, because they all work together. That’s the dirty little secret. I don’t work with these media types. They do. And they’re doing it to trash Trump. Isn’t it interesting the media, it could be Bloomberg, it could be the New York Times, they know. They know that Tucker Carlson is an anti-Semite. They know that he’s a Jew-hating scum. They know that he’s a Christian-hating scum. They know that he’s the front for Qatar and Iran and all the rest of it. I believe he is anyway. Certainly a mouthpiece. And yet they still work with him. They still work with him. Do you think they would have worked with Goebbels during World War II, right? Yeah, why am I even asking that? Neither the FBI nor Carlson immediately responded to requests on Thursday. Why, Tucker? What is wrong with this request? Did you receive any confidential or classified information from Kent? Simple question. You talked about these texts. Now clearly you had texts, I talked about this last night, you had texts with foreign governments, did you? That’s okay. For me, my question is, focus in, like a lawyer, like a prosecutor. Were you texting the regime in Iran in the lead up to the war? During the war? Were you? They’re an enemy. We’ve declared that they’re the enemy. Were you or were you not texting with the enemy? It’s that simple. Was he? He clearly was. I have to assume he was. He was trying to get out in front. Look, my texts, they’re now at Semafor, they’re going to investigate. When you read this article, and look, I’m only basing it on public information. I don’t have any inside information. I don’t even want it. I draw my own conclusions and use my own rationality and experience. The guy comes out last week with a weird video. Looks like he’s, you know, looks like a kidnap video out of Sweden or something. Hey, hey, you know what? What? Word is that I’m under investigation. Word is that the CIA, excuse me, I can’t do that pre-pubescent stuff. Word is that they’ve been looking at my texts. Word is that the CIA released them. Word is that I’m being investigated for a fire violation. Word is really, why are you being investigated for a fire investigation and why would the CIA have your text? And I told you this at the time. The only way the CIA would have Tucker Carlson’s text isn’t because he was on their list to monitor. It’s because as they are monitoring the Iranians in every way possible because it’s a lead up to a war and it’s a war and we need that intelligence information. I’m not violating any state secrets. I didn’t say how it’s done or where it’s done because I don’t know what they’re doing. But I do know generally that’s what they’re doing. Obviously some text came and went look at this. What? Tucker? No, there’s not many Tuckers out there. Tucker, what kind of name is Tucker? There aren’t many Tuckers out there. Look at this, look what’s in this text and this one and this. Here’s the point. Tucker knows if he texted them and what he texted. If he texted them and said the weather’s beautiful out there okay, that’s fine, nobody cares. But if he’s texting them something else that’s different. That’s different. See this is why they hate my guts. Because I figure this stuff out. Explain it to you. I explained it to you last week. I’ve explained it to you earlier this week. I explained it yesterday. I’m explaining it again. I mean the press, if the press said to me no, talking about. So Kent went on, they write Carlson’s popular online show Wednesday his first public appearance since his departure on the show Carlson highlighted Kent’s longstanding view that a U.S. war with Iran would be disastrous. That’s not Kent’s longstanding view. Would strengthen China and the rest. Carlson framed the situation one in which powerful government figures are caught in a lie and trying to silence. So Bloomberg wants to know if I lobbied the president. Now this happens because this is a attempt to change the narrative. Look at this, Mark Levin lobbied the president on behalf of Israel. But I didn’t. Everything I’ve said is public. I certainly wouldn’t have texts with the enemy. That’s a fact. So I’m curious to know. Tucker can come clean. He already put out that video. That raises a lot of questions. Does it not?
