These are fools and buffoons.
MAGA is as strong as ever.
In fact, the Republican Party is MAGA.
And MAGA is Donald Trump's movement.
And we've got the general election.
Everything will be put to the test come November.
But those are the facts.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - Video: Mark R. Levin: Welcome back, America.
It's always a pleasure to have America's wise man on the program, Victor Davis Hanson, who's a good friend, Hoover Institution senior fellow.
He's got a great podcast as well.
Thanks for coming, Victor.
So let me ask you this question.
-
Victor Davis Hanson: Thank you.
-
Mark R. Levin: If you can put yourself in the shoes of the Iranian regime, how do you think they're looking at this right now?
-
Victor Davis Hanson: Well, we don't know, because this is a very unusual war.
We have no ground troops, no embedded reporters.
We don't know the extent of damage, but it seems to me that they have been economically devastated, and 90% of their military is inert.
But they have enough missiles, they think, and the Gulf states are so vulnerable, they think, and the Straits of Hormuz, that traffic is a fragile entity, that they can cause havoc and then delay the process, maybe hope for a global recession, and drag it out until the midterms.
They also are playing a very strange game.
They're giving signals that the people talking to us, the quote-unquote elected leaders, that they are at odds with the Revolutionary Guard.
And we don't know, because we've eliminated so many people, if that's true.
But you get the sneaking suspicion that they are the good cops and the Revolutionary Guard and the theocrats that every once in a while try to take out a carrier or hit the Kuwaitis or somebody.
They're the bad cops, but they actually work in unison.
And then the negotiators say to us, "well, we can't control these people. We're sorry. We don't know what they're doing in the Gulf, laying mines and everything. But don't ruin the negotiations."
And then that gives each of them credibility, I guess, against their competition for power.
But at some point, we have to stop it.
There's a lot of ways to stop it, Mark, because militarily it's not a problem.
It's a political problem, and it involves the world economy and the midterms and everything.
But I think the president can find a way to kind of square that circle.
If he tells them informally there's going to be a deadline to this nonsense and you're going to regret it, and we're going to do enough damage to your economy and your military that it's going to take you a quarter century to recover, and we're going to leave a residual force that's going to keep that straight open along with the allies.
And then I think he can say that to them, because we can't continue to do this, because they interpret survival with victory.
I know that sounds Orwellian, but they do.
