4/1/26 - Artemis II: A New Era of Space Exploration

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in. The Artemis II launch was a pivotal moment for American space innovation. This four-member crew is gearing up for an ambitious 10-day journey that will take them around the moon and back, marking NASA's first crewed venture beyond low Earth orbit in over five decades. Also, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued an open letter to the American public, filled with typical propaganda remarks and condemnation of U.S. involvement in Iran. Pezeshkian's letter seems like a desperate attempt to sway American opinion and force a ceasefire. As the conflict escalates and shipping through the crucial Strait of Hormuz halts, we must remain focused on national security and resist calls for appeasement, prioritizing the safety and integrity of our nation.  Lastly, long airport lines and escalating worries about domestic threats weren’t enough to deter Senate Democrats from once again blocking funding for Homeland Security on Friday. This marks the fifth attempt by Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his Republican colleagues to reopen the agency. Their latest unsuccessful effort coincides with the Department of Homeland Security shutdown entering its 35th day.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
