Episode Overview

This “Best Of” episode features Mark Levin’s fierce analysis and reflections on the week's most pressing topics, blending constitutional commentary and conservative political insight. Though positioned as a Thanksgiving special, the content is very much of-the-moment: the opaque release of the Epstein files, global politics (with deep dives into Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel), surveillance failures around the Trump assassination attempt, money’s influence in higher education, rising antisemitism, and Democratic scandals.

Key Topics & Segments

1. Release of the Epstein Files & Political Priorities

[00:44–01:28]

• Mark Steyn and Mark Levin discuss the congressional push to release the “Epstein files.” Steyn derides Congress's priorities ("these are the weird priorities that we live with today"), contrasting the speed at which these files moved through Congress with the lack of substantive implications for Donald Trump.
• Levin points out that, despite years of leaks and investigations, "Donald Trump has not been implicated in anything. Zero."
• Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie's roles in pushing for the release are noted, though Levin is skeptical of their impact regarding justice for Epstein’s victims.

"These are the weird priorities that we live with today... despite all the leaks and all the investigations, Donald Trump has not been implicated in anything." —Mark Steyn [00:45]

---

2. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and U.S. Foreign Policy

[01:10–13:11]

• Levin harshly critiques the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia, the Abraham Accords, and the selling of F-35 jets.
• He discusses Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to the Oval Office and the lack of accountability for Saudi involvement in 9/11:

"I've never seen a world leader treated like this in my life... Money talks." —Mark Levin [03:22]

• Steyn plays a clip of a Saudi official framing 9/11 as part of a bin Laden plot to “destroy the American-Saudi relation.”
• Levin rebuts: "These terrorists didn’t attack us to damage the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia. They attacked us because they were homegrown radical Islamists out of Saudi Arabia." [07:32]
• The odd dynamics between Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, and the U.S. are explored, with the hosts highlighting hypocrisy and the dangers of disseminating U.S. military technology.
• Levin rails against Middle Eastern states dictating regional policy, particularly in regard to Palestinian statehood:

"They have plenty of land to give to the Palestinians... Their real claim is with Jordan. But he wants nothing to do with them." —Mark Levin [11:44]

---

3. Trump Assassination Attempt & Government Transparency

[14:48–36:53]

• Miranda Devine’s reporting on would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks is a central feature. Levin and Steyn unpack the FBI and Secret Service’s apparent lack of action on Crooks’ prolific and violent online footprint, including dramatic ideological shifts from pro-Trump to anti-Trump rhetoric.
• The hosts challenge the mainstream narrative that Crooks was an unknowable “lone actor:”

"…the source found reams of information that shows Crooks was not simply some unknowable lone actor… He left a digital trail of violent threats, extremist ideology, and admiration for mass violence." —Mark Steyn [20:20]

• Levin interrogates government accountability, referencing FBI director Christopher Wray’s controversial testimony and a lack of congressional curiosity:

"Wouldn’t this be a basic part of the process… to dig in? And yet we have a party that does this on their own." —Mark Levin [21:16]

• The potential coverup and stonewalling of oversight requests is framed as symptomatic of larger problems in federal law enforcement and partisan motivations:

"There’s clearly a cover up in my view. And you know, folks, I don’t talk about coverups very easily." —Mark Levin [35:18]

---

4. Qatar's Influence in U.S. Education and Institutions

[37:44–45:04]

• Levin turns to American universities’ acceptance of billions from Qatar, arguing this is part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan “to infiltrate the United States and destroy democracy from within.” [37:44]
• Specifics: $20B traced, possibly as much as $100B, to U.S. colleges such as Cornell, Georgetown, Texas A&M, and Brown.
• He highlights the “dual-use” potential of funded research and the relinquishing of intellectual property rights to Qatar.

"How does a foreign government get to pour this kind of money into our country?... These countries are spending tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars to destroy our country." —Mark Levin [40:30–41:45]

---

5. Antisemitism, Education, and Curriculum Indoctrination

[61:18–68:07]

• Levin focuses on antisemitic incidents related to Gaza/Israel and the infiltration of Palestinian/anti-Israel narratives in public school curricula—citing a City Journal piece on the Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) and its "Teach Palestine" materials.
• He raises the alarm that tens of thousands of U.S. students are exposed to terrorism-glorifying content:

"Should American K-12 students be taught without informing their parents to sympathize with terrorists? Of course not. But that’s exactly what’s happening." —Mark Levin [62:29]

• Levin links this indoctrination back to Middle Eastern financial influence as well as the domestic left.

---

6. Domestic Political Controversies — Democratic Scandals & Congress

[55:22–61:18, 76:38–100:58]

• Levin comments on Democratic Rep. Chrissy Holohan’s claims of victimization and political intimidation following her public criticisms of Trump, expressing skepticism about her invoking threats to personal safety.
• Discussion of Rep. Cerfilis McCormick (D-FL) and her $5 million indictment, highlighting the lack of Democratic calls for resignation and paralleling these scandals with media focus on “Epstein files."
• References to the Democratic party’s internal dynamics and the mutual reinforcement between Democratic politicians and establishment media.
• Brief segment on Marjorie Taylor Greene's (satirically referred to as Marjorie "Trader" Greene) announced resignation and reflections on her political evolution.

---

7. Moral Clarity & Stand on Ukraine and Israel

[104:07–108:05]

• Listener calls reinforce support for continued U.S. support to Ukraine and Israel, rejecting the "neo-Nazi isolationist types" and affirming traditional conservative internationalism:

"I’m not going to rewrite conservatism so we become an isolationist pacifist ideology which isn’t conservatism and never has been." —Mark Levin [107:19]

• Levin ties the geopolitical and domestic to a larger battle for the soul of America, positioning his show and audience as "multi-generational" defenders of constitutional principles and national integrity.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Middle East Influence:

"It’s really stunning to me the extent to which we are blinded by what they’re doing." —Mark Levin [37:44]

• On Antisemitism:

"He [incoming NYC mayor Mondami]’s the enemy because he says things, he plans to do things that an enemy does… Just one man’s opinion." —Mark Levin [89:01]

• On the Threat Within:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy within is here. And it’s not the enemy, it’s the enemies within are here. And they are ensconced." —Mark Levin [68:07]

• Listener Callers:
  • On Ukraine:

    "The West really, in my opinion, needs to continue to support Ukraine—they are defending our democracy." —Caller Andy [105:27]

[Mark Levin]

America's best days are yet to come. That's because conservatives like you know and.

[Mark Steyn]

[Mark Levin]

[Mark Steyn]

And won't give up the fight because.

[Mark Levin]

They know you never will. Paid for by the Heritage Foundation.

[Mark Steyn]

He's here.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here now. Broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under under the brick and steel of a nondescript building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

This is the best of Mark Levin. Happy Thanksgiving.

[Mark Steyn]

Hello America.

[Mark Levin]

Mark Levin here.

[Mark Steyn]

Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811. Well, all the so called Epstein files, whatever that means, will be released as I understand it. I'm sure names will be redacted, those of victims and so forth, but whatever went through the House like crap through a goose and went even faster through the Senate. So these are the weird priorities that we live with today. And despite all the leaks and all the investigations, Donald Trump has not been implicated in anything. Zero. It's like all the talk about his tax returns for years and years and those are leaked. There's nothing in them. Then a committee in the House on the way out the door under the Democrats, they get a copy of several years worth, they release them. Nothing in there either. And Marjorie Trader Greene, been calling her that a long time. Upsets her a lot and that's why I do it. And Thomas Messi, they were with some of the victims today. I don't know. Did they have something to do with the prosecution of Epstein and the in bringing justice? I don't think so. But they're big on the, on the release of the Epstein files. Fine by me. I'm just worried about the future of the country. Miranda Devine has an exclusive I want to get into that about Thomas Crooks. And there's a whole lot going on. We have a couple of great guests, Governor Mike Dunleavy. They have discovered unbelievable rare earth minerals in Alaska that can make a huge change for this country in terms of our reliance on Communist China. And Dr. Mark Siegel has a new book out. We'll talk to him in hour three and we'll be ready to roll. So a lot to do and yet I'm going to touch on something. Oh, Saudi Arabia, I feel for you 9, 11 families, I really do. You've never Gotten the answers you deserve. You. You never have. Which cut is it, Mr. Producer? Let's say it's cut one. It's not cut one, it's cut two. Mohammed bin Salman, the crown Prince in the Oval Office today. Reporter asked about nine, 11, and you know, 15 out of the 19 hijackers were Saudi citizens. And we know Qatar's role. One of our best friends in the Middle east now with ksm. And now we have the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, one of another of our new best friends. And we're going to sell them our most technologically advanced jet fighters, F35s. So it's only a matter of time till this incredible technology that you and I spent hundreds of billions of dollars on will be obviously shared and linked with other countries. Because you can't keep a cap on that stuff forever. Not with a country that really is a new friend. Should I say, oh, yeah, new friend. And he says, yeah, we'll do the, the Abraham Accords. As long as Israel sets up a Palestinian state, that which. And then I'll continue, which could blow it off the face of the map, that's fine. So now Saudi Arabia is dictating to Israel, but that's okay. This guy's being treated like. I've never seen a world leader treated in my life. Have you ever seen any world leader treated like this, Mr. Producer? Some ceremony. We had horses. They were beautiful. F35s flying and beautiful. Beautifully organized into a V and so forth and so on. Money talks. Who was it that said it? Congressman Smith from South Philly. Years ago, in a great Democrat Party scandal in Washington, he said money talks and bull, you know, what walks. And God knows the Arabs have a lot of money just by fate. Just a lot that's under the ground. And you know, you know who discovered most of it? The British. All right, here is Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince. About Obama bin Laden using Saudis, of course, Obama bin Laden was from a very wealthy, prominent Saudi. What is it? Osama bin Laden. What did I say? Obama. Sorry, slip of the tongue. My mouth broke. Osama bin Laden. I can hear my wife yelling at the.

[Mark Levin]

It's Osama bin Laden.

[Mark Steyn]

Like Mr. Producer just did. All right, we know who it was. Cut to go.

[Saudi Official]

You know, I feel painful about, you know, the families of nine, 11 in America, but you know, we have to focus on reality. Reality based on CIA documents and based on a lot of documents that Osama bin Laden used Saudi people in that event for one main purpose is to destroy this relation, to destroy the American, Saudi religion. That's the purpose of. So whoever buying that, that means they are helping Osama bin Laden purpose of destroying this relation, he know that strong relation between America and Saudi Arabia, it's bad for extremism, it's bad for terrorism. And we have to prove him wrong and to build our relation, to continue developing our relations, it's critical in the safety of the world. It's critical against extremism and terrorism. About the generalists, it's really painful to hear, you know, anyone that been losing his life for, you know, no real purpose or not in a legal way. And it's been painful for us in Saudi Arabia. We've did all the right steps of investigation, et cetera, in Saudi Arabia. And we've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that. And it's painful and it's a huge mistake and we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again.

[Mark Steyn]

I think in that case, he's talking about Khashoggi, the latter part there, where he was grabbed and murdered, cut into pieces, thrown in a vat of acid and so forth and so horrific. And he says, I didn't know anything about it. He didn't know anything about it. The CIA said he had to know something about it. President today said he didn't know anything about it. So there you have. Whether he did or not. But all that said, the 911 families are not happy with Saudi Arabia. This answer is bull crap in my view. These terrorists didn't attack us to damage the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia. They attacked us because they were homegrown radical Islamists out of Saudi Arabia that attacks the West. That's what they did in a horrendous way. And if you had told me. It's just Mark's opinion, not criticizing, I'm just giving my opinion. If you had told me right after 911 that we'd be selling our most highly advanced jet fighters to the Saudis, I would say you're smoking something now. There are geopolitical reasons for working with the Saudis, no question about it.

[Mark Levin]

They hate Qatar.

[Mark Steyn]

Hate them because Qatar has used terrorism to try to overthrow that, that monarchy in the past. But I think Qatar is our best friend too. No, Mr. Producer. Oh, yeah. And they didn't get F35s, but they got it. A memorandum of understanding or an executive order or something. I think an executive order that we will defend them to the last American soldier if we have to. So we're defending Qatar and we're selling our Top jets to Saudi Arabia. And I'm wondering why, who is, who, who is Qatar's military threat? Israel, you might say, but Israel's not. If Israel had wanted to take out Qatar, they would have taken him out a long time ago. Who is Saudi Arabia's great threat?

[Mark Levin]

It's actually Qatar.

[Mark Steyn]

Now that the Israelis took out Iran, they're not given enough credit for it. The bombing of the nuclear sites was crucial, absolutely crucial. And the President said he was going to take them out come hell or high water, God bless him. So important. But the Israelis defeated Iran just the way it is. Yes, with our equipment. But a lot of countries get our equipment and they can't fight their way.

[Mark Levin]

Out of a paper bank. That's the truth.

[Mark Steyn]

We sent a lot of equipment over to Afghanistan. Now the enemy has it. And unfortunately the Afghanis were not very effective in fighting the Taliban, which represents about 14% of the country. The Israelis whipped every surrounding country and terrorist organization in a period of two and a half years, including Iran. So it's not just the equipment, it's certainly important. It's also the nature of the warriors, their leaders. And this is one of the reasons the anti Semites in America hate Netanyahu so much, because he's such a tremendous leader. It's also why they hate Trump so much on the left. He. He's a tremendous leader. I don't necessarily agree with all this activity so quickly in terms of our F35s. And we will fight to the end for Qatar and so forth and so on. This stuff will have to shake out over time, I suppose.

[Mark Levin]

Now the Crown Prince says, look, we.

[Mark Steyn]

Want to be part of the, of the Abraham Accords, but only if the Israelis create a pathway to a two state solution. There is no two state solution. I want you to look at the map. I want you to look at the size of Saudi Arabia. It's massive.

[Mark Levin]

Massive. It's massive like Brazil. It's massive.

[Mark Steyn]

There it is. They won't take one Palestinian from Gaza or anywhere else. Not one.

[Mark Levin]

They have plenty of land to give to the Palestinians. The Palestinians have as much claim.

[Mark Steyn]

To.

[Mark Levin]

The land and the Holy Land as.

[Mark Steyn]

They do to Saudi Arabia's land. Meaning none. Zero historical claim. Zero. Their real claim is with Jordan. But he wants nothing to do with them. The country is already over 70% Palestinian. They tried to overthrow his father, so he wants nothing to do with that. Egypt wants nothing to do with it. But listen to this. Cut three, go.

[Saudi Official]

We want to be part of the Ibrahima code, but we want also to be sure that we secure a clear path of two state solution. And today we have a healthy discussion with Mr. President that we're going to work on that, to be sure that we can prepare for the right situation.

[Mark Steyn]

So he's going to work on the President on that? Is that what he's saying, Mr. Medusa? Sounds like he says we're going to work with the President on that. And he upped his investment in the United States from 600 billion to a trillion. And what did the president say? Cut three, go.

[Mark Levin]

I think we're, you know, I don't want to use the word commitment, but we've had a very good talk on the Abraham Accords. We talked about one state, two state. You know, we talked about a lot of things in a short period of time. We'll be discussing it further too. But I think you have a very good feeling toward the Abraham accord.

[Saudi Official]

Yes, definitely, Mr. President. We want peace for the Israelis, we want peace for the Palestinians. We want them to coexist peacefully.

[Mark Levin]

We're not going to have peace for.

[Mark Steyn]

The Palestinians because the Palestinians are killing each other. Don't you get it? He gets it. I thought the President's answer there was pretty good. Actually. I did. And I don't want to spend all night on this because we have a lot to do. Be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Folks, I have a question for you.

[Mark Steyn]

Do you believe America's best days are still ahead?

[Mark Levin]

With the 250th anniversary of the signing.

[Mark Steyn]

Of the Declaration of Independence coming up.

[Mark Levin]

In less than a year, my friends at the Heritage foundation are taking stock of the current situation and they need your input. They've launched a survey on America's future to gauge how America's feel right now about where we are as a nation and where we're headed in the next 250 years. You know, for decades your American values have been under attack. But now where President Trump's administration in office, we have an opportunity to turn the tide and usher in a new golden age for America. But the Heritage foundation needs to hear from you. What policies do patriots like you most care about? What do you believe are the defining principles of America? What legacy do you believe we should pass on to the next Generation? Please visit heritage.orglevin today and share your feedback and help shape the future of America. That's heritage.org Elliot paid for by the Heritage Foundation. This is Mark Levin wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. Now back to the best of me.

[Mark Steyn]

Miranda Devine's on top of things today. That's for sure about Thomas Crooks in the Great New York Post. We're all owed a better explanation from the FBI and Secret Service about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump 16 months ago at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The president himself remains unsatisfied with the answers he's been given about the Circumstances leading to 20 year old Thomas Crooks climbing on a rooftop with an AR15 style rifle and firing eight times at Trump, narrowly missing his head but hitting his ear. So you say, okay, what's going on? There's something very wrong with the official story, she says that invites conspiracy theories. Well, we've heard that president demanded an answer months ago as a man was murdered. What's going on then? FBI Director Chris Wray, I've told you here for years when he was FBI director, this is a bad dude, he's got a bad attitude, told Congress after the July 13, 2024 attack. The Bureau had found nothing in Crooks online history that pointed to a motive of political ideology. A week later, Ray's deputy Paul Abbott told Congress that comments posted on one of Crooks social media accounts appear to reflect anti Semitic and anti immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature. Now, thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abate misled Congress by omission because he left out an entire section of Crook's online interactions from January to August 2020 when he did an ideological backflip and went from rabidly pro Trump to rabidly anti Trump and then went dark, never seeming to post again. Among the 17 accounts uncovered by our source were ones of YouTube, Snapchat, Venmo.

[Mark Levin]

Zellie, GroupMe, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, Chess.com and Quora.

[Mark Steyn]

The online interactions from when crooks was age 15 to 17 give us a better understanding of his evolution into an assassin and invite more questions about what.

[Mark Levin]

Or who reversed his ideology, which is crucial to know.

[Mark Steyn]

The danger Crooks posed was visible for years in public online spaces, says the source. His radicalization, violent rhetoric and obsession with political violence were all documented under his real name. The threat was not hidden. Now we'll get back to this, but you know, if this is the way it goes, I mean the FBI should read the comments on my sites, don't you think Mr. Producer? I mean there'd be a lot of people to round up, trust me on this. But that said, this is a very, very crucial story and I don't want to. We have to take a break. I Don't want to take a break. But it's a hard break and I want to complete it. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

We're coming upon the 250th birthday of the United States. And it has me thinking, what will.

[Mark Steyn]

America look like 250 years from now?

[Mark Levin]

My friends at the Heritage foundation want to know what you think. What policies should America prioritize? What principles should carry us into the decades ahead as America enters a new golden age? Heritage recognizes that this is the time to take stock and to be intentional about how we shape the future of America. And they can't do it without your input. So please go to heritage.org Levin and let them know what you think is important. Without patriots like you stepping up and speaking up for what you believe in, America as we know it can't survive for another 250 years. Please go to heritage.org Levin heritage.org Levin take the survey on America's future. This survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete, but it is critical for making sure that the America we pass on to future generations is an America we're proud of. Go to heritage.org Levin today. That's heritage.org L E V I N paid for by the Heritage Foundation. You're listening to the best of the Mark Levin Show. Happy Thanksgiving.

[Mark Steyn]

And by the way, Iran is slaughtering all the dissidents there. And yes, I did think that we should have finished the job or at least let the Israelis finish the job. They were doing it anyway.

[Mark Levin]

It's for regime change. Oh, my God.

[Mark Steyn]

And for defeating an enemy. These morons talk about these isolationist neo fascists forever wars. We can have forever wars. Okay, well, let's, let's put this one to bed. No, can't do that.

[Mark Levin]

No.

[Mark Steyn]

These isolationist neo fascists are on a suicide agenda and they will drag all the rest of us with them if we don't. If we don't push back and defeat them, that's for sure. High number of executions in Iran. No due process whatsoever. Look, I'm not interested in turning them into a Jeffersonian democracy. That's not the point. The point is they're going to be back. They're going to be back with nuclear weapons. Trump won't be there forever. Netanyahu won't be there forever. But hopefully we will, right? That's the point. Let's get back to this Miranda Devine piece, which is really how come she never gets a Pulitzer brush. Do you wonder who gets them and who doesn't?

[Mark Levin]

It's really crazy.

[Mark Steyn]

There's a breaking story she's got here. The official narrative claimed that he, meaning crooks, acted alone and without a clear motive, ideology or digital footprint. Yet the source found reams of information that shows Crooks was not simply some unknowable lone actor. And I'm quoting, he left a digital trail of violent threats, extremist ideology and admiration for mass violence. Sounds like an Islamist. He spoke openly of political assassination. The radical Islamists posted under his real name. It was even flagged by other users who mentioned law enforcement in their replies. Despite this, his account remained active for more than five years and was only removed the day after the shooting. None of this online activity was referenced in the final congressional report released in December 2024. Making this even more troubling. It is troubling. It's crazy.

[Mark Levin]

We have all these investigative techniques, especially the FBI and the Secret Service, but especially the FBI. Wouldn't this be a basic part of the process, Mr. Reducer to look at this to dig in and yet we.

[Mark Steyn]

Have a party that does this on their own. None of this online activity was referenced starting with Crook's phone number.

[Mark Levin]

The source used tools available to private.

[Mark Steyn]

Investigators and web archives to uncover the assassin's very visible online Persona. Crook's most prolific activity was on YouTube.

[Mark Levin]

With 737 public comments.

[Mark Steyn]

The account Tom Crooks 2178 visible to other users as Tom Crooks was created on January 14, 2019 is suspended on.

[Mark Levin]

July 14, 2024, the day after the.

[Mark Steyn]

Butler attack for violating YouTube's policy on violent criminal organizations. Well that was a little late, but nonetheless so publicly available processes that private investigators use. This is how they're getting the information and our government did not. Crooks trajectory from pro to anti Trump is evident. He referred to Trump as the literal definition of patriotism in a comment at 1:17am 07-20-2019. He also issued several targeted threats against the Democratic congressional representatives. Quote in the squad he said I hope a quick painful debt to all the deplorable immigrants and anti Trump congresswomen who don't deserve anything this country has given them. He wrote at 8:18am July 20, 2019. Murder the Democrats, he wrote in CAPS on December 12, 2019.

[Mark Levin]

But in early 2020, literally a month.

[Mark Steyn]

Or so later, Crook's online behavior flipped. Flipped 180 degrees and he became very.

[Mark Levin]

Critical of Trump, Fox News and Republican.

[Mark Steyn]

Complaints about mail in vot.

[Mark Levin]

So he's praising Trump.

[Mark Steyn]

Kill the Democrats 12-12-2019 and here 01-23-2020.

[Mark Levin]

Five weeks later, the first time he criticized Trump when he commented on a video of law professor Jonathan Turley talking.

[Mark Steyn]

About Trump's first impeachment, he said, keep.

[Mark Levin]

In mind the only reason we may.

[Mark Steyn]

Know about any of this is because of Trump's stupidity, crooks wrote.

[Mark Levin]

He started describing Trump supporters as a cult. He said, how can you people call.

[Mark Steyn]

Others sheep, but you do too brainwash to realize how dumb you are, he wrote on February 26, 2020.

[Mark Levin]

I mean literally, you guys sound like a cult at some times. The same day, he described Trump as racist again.

[Mark Steyn]

This is two months after he was praising him.

[Mark Levin]

By April 2020, Crooks was constantly criticizing.

[Mark Steyn]

Trump's pandemic response, saying he was too slow and everything he's doing should have been already done.

[Mark Levin]

Through the summer 2020, crooks online rhetoric became increasingly radical and violent.

[Mark Steyn]

I'm telling you this online stuff is crazy dangerous, is it not Mr. Badu? You see what people are commenting. It's vile, it's threatening, it's dangerous, it's constant. Especially if you're targeted like I am on the, on the Internet. We're big boy here, we can handle it. But nonetheless.

[Mark Levin]

On August 5, 2020, Corks.

[Mark Steyn]

Wrote, IMO, the only way to fight the government is with terrorism style attacks. Sneak a bomb into an essential building and set it off before anyone sees you. Track down any important people, politicians, military leaders, etc. And try to assassinate them. Any sort of head to head fight is suicide, he wrote. And even ambush surprise attacks likely aren't going to end well. Large portion of the war will also be propaganda information wars. Both sides want people to join them and big deciding factors wars is often which side is more popular support for them. Among the 17 accounts he had uncovered by Miranda's source, only one on PayPal was operated under an alias Rod Swanson. Rod Swanson is a former senior FBI agent who was the chief of investigations for the state of Nevada during the 2017 Las Vegas Mass shooting. He also previously served on FBI Director Robert Mueller's Protective Details of Firearms instructor in Pennsylvania. Contacted by phone over the weekend, Swanson said he was surprised his name was connected to Crooks. I don't know anything about that kid or his family, said I don't even use PayPal. I don't even know how to set up a PayPal account. Sounds like me, he said. He retired from the FBI in Vegas in 2016, went to work for the Nevada Attorney General from September 2015 to March 2020. He now works in the oil and gas business in Houston. By the way, I want to thank all the people who are finally now reporting on the massacre and the genocide against Christians in Nigeria and the Sudan and other parts of the world. We've only been talking about that behind this microphone for years, posting about it on the Internet.

[Mark Levin]

And I actually did a show Sunday.

[Mark Steyn]

On Life, Liberty and Levin with Congressman Chris Smith, who's really been a leader in this regard this past Sunday on Fox. And now I'm just glad that everybody.

[Mark Levin]

Else is finally talking about it. Christians are being slaughtered all over the world.

[Mark Steyn]

Back to this when told of Crooks online threats, he said there was no way the FBI would not be aware of the teenager. This is a former FBI guy. He says no matter how ridiculous the allegation, no matter if it's Covid or not, somebody's going to knock on somebody's door. They investigated that kid. There's a record of it and there's an assessment that some leader made that this was not a threat or it rose to a level and they did something else. He also said if the FBI had the information about his name on the PayPal account, I can't even imagine they would not have reached out to me right away. He said, well they didn't, did they? Given Crooks pattern of tracking high profile mass shootings and violent events, the source believes it is plausible that he adopted Swanson's name as a private joke. Like alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, Crooks appears to have been interested in ferries. What the hell is that all about, Rich? What are fairies? They wear costumes like cats. He described himself with the pronouns they, them. On the platform DeviantArt, which is one of the biggest online hubs for fairy art and fairy community. A fairy is someone who has an interest in anthropomorphized animal characters, often asexual fetish. Okay. Two accounts linked to Crook's primary email were found on DeviantArt under usernames epic Microwave and the Epic Microwave. The account suggests he had an obsession with scantily clad cartoon characters sporting muscle bound male bodies and female heads.

[Mark Levin]

Now, one of the people Crooks interacted.

[Mark Steyn]

With online was Willie Teps, a member of Norwegian neo Nazi group the Nordic Resistance Movement, which has since been designed designated rather a terrorist organization by the State Department, Teps encouraged violence and Crooks extremism. Using a Maoist phrase, political power comes from the barrel of the end of a gun, which Crooks repeated several times in one comment on October 5, 2025, more than a year after Butler Tepce commented to another user that he'd been contacted by both Russian and American intelligence.

[Mark Levin]

Quote, people who ask you to contact.

[Mark Steyn]

Them when they just as easily could contact you are feds. This is how they avoid entrapment. Both American and Russian intelligence do this. I've chatted to both. He claims shortly after his interactions with Teps Crooks disappeared offline. Did his brush with the Norwegian and his own violent rhetoric win him a visit from the FBI or the Secret Service? And Miranda asks if not, why not? If so, why has it not been disclosed? The FBI refused to comment when asked on Sunday whether Crooks was ever investigated, visited, or in some way brought to the attention of the agency before he tried to assassinate Trump, or whether there was a file FBI file in Crooks before Butler. The FBI also refused to comment on why it has been not been forthcoming on congressional oversight requests. Former Director Wray told Congress on July 24, 2024, 11 days after the shooting. The bureau did not have any prior information about the shooter that he was not in our holdings before the shooting, said the FBI ran a search for Crooks through its databases and he was not found. Susan Crabtree, an investigative reporter for RealClearPolitics who has broken multiple stories about the failures of Butler, says her key Secret Service Source from the 2020 time period told me that Crooks was not a person of record at the U.S. secret Service in 2020 and wasn't known to the service until Butler. Something doesn't add up, says Miranda. Now there's a little bit more, a couple more paragraphs. This is very, very, very important. So we'll take a little break now and then we'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Folks, I have a question for you. Do you believe America's best days are still ahead with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Decl of independence coming up in less than a year? My friends at the Heritage foundation are taking stock of the current situation and they need your input. They've launched a survey on America's future to gauge how America's feel right now about where we are as a nation and where we're headed in the next 250 years. You know, for decades, your American values have been under attack. But now with President Trump's administration in office, we have an opportunity to turn the tide and usher in a new golden age for America. But the Heritage foundation needs to hear from you. What policies do patriots like you most care about? What do you believe are the defining principles of America? What legacy do you believe we should pass on to the next generation? Please visit heritage.orglevin today and share your feedback and help shape the future of America. That's heritage.org Levin paid for by the Heritage Foundation. This is Mark Levin wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. Now back to the best of me.

[Mark Steyn]

As applies to Trump, the Epstein thing is just another, another attempt to destroy him. And you can see all the reprobates in Congress that are involved in this. They're not interested in getting to the bottom of anything. Nothing. Let's see here. What did I do with this? Oh, my goodness. What did I do with the, with the report here? Bear with me, folks. I gotta go back and dig it up because I want to finish it for you. All right, let's see. There it is. So let's continue the last couple of paragraphs from Miranda Devine's outstanding piece in the New York Post. She's something else. She really is. Deserves a Pulitzer. It's a long piece. We talked about crooks interacting with Nazis and neo Nazis from overseas. They're very dangerous people. Very, very dangerous people. Ray had been heavily criticized after the Parkland school shooting because the FBI failed to act after being repeatedly warned about the shooter, Nikolas Cruz, that he had guns, had threatened people, exhibited erratic behavior and might carry out a school shooting. Was Wray trying to avoid being blamed for another atrocity on his watch? Is that why he downplayed? She asked Trump's injury when he testified to Congress a week after week after Butler and falsely suggested the now president had not been struck by a bullet but by shrapnel from his podium. If the Secret Service had become aware of crooks anti Trump rhetoric in 2020 during Trump's presidency, protocol is that it would have determined if he was a threat and offloaded to the FBI to take over the investigation. We don't know what happened because the Secret Service after action report is classified. I don't hear Congress demanding that that be declassified. The only bodies that could look at it are the intelligence committees in Congress, which so far have shown little curiosity. Yep, a criminal investigation of a presidential assassination or attempted assassination falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI. Therefore, any comments on the subject would come from the Bureau. Requests for information from the FBI by Senator Johnson have been rebuffed, although I would say I saw Johnson in an interview who was very supportive of Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. John Genade issue a subpoena in July on the first anniversary of the Butler attack and complained that he had he'd been snowballed. I think he means stonewalled rather by the FBI and Secret Service in his efforts to request security camera footage, forensic reports, other documents related to the crooks case. Trump and those close to him were skeptical about the official story in question. How the impoverished parents of crooks who had to ask for money from neighbors to pay for their son's funeral could afford to hire a white shoe law firm, Quinn Logue out of Pittsburgh. It's hard to believe the FBI under Secret Service missed crooks. The question is, what did they do about him? Well, this certainly opens up a massive need for a massive inquiry to find out what the hell is going on here and why do we have to go through these cover ups and then we have these kooks with these conspiracy theories. The one that it's Israel and the in The Mossad, right, Mr. You hear that one, Mr. Medusa? It's always Israel in the Mossad, you know, and so you got to hear that crap. But there's something going on here. There's clearly a cover up in my view. And you know, folks, I don't talk about COVID ups very easily. I don't think this is a conspiracy theory that Miranda is promoting here. I think it's a really outstanding piece of investigative journalism. She has sources and so forth who've come to her, others do as well, telling her and them that this thing was botched. There's a cover up. And so I'll be waiting for Thomas Massie and Marjorie Trader Greene, and I'll be waiting for all the Democrats in the House and the Senate as well as the Republicans to demand the release of the crooks file from the FBI and the Secret Service.

[Mark Levin]

The release of the crooks files. Let's see how fast that cuts through.

[Mark Steyn]

The House and the Senate. Like crap through a goose, huh? I'll be right back.

This is the best of Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Mark Steyn]

Hello America.

[Mark Levin]

Mark Levin Here, our number, 877-381-3811.

[Mark Steyn]

Anyway, wanted to read something to you, see if I can find it. Sure. I Can sent to me by my buddy Cal Thomas. Really fine man. New York Post. Today, Qatar is pumping tens of billions of dollars into universities to help the Muslim Brotherhood weaken the United States and destroy democracy. What's it going to take, folks? I've been banging the pots and pans and banging the pots and pans. What do I got to do? Look back 10 years from now, all of us together as a country, and say, gee, I wonder how this happened. It reminds me of late May and early June when I was warning people about Kitarlson and Owens and Bannon, warning people about them. Silence, silence, silence. And now people see what's going on. This Qatar thing in Saudi Arabia, but particularly Qatar. It's really stunning to me the extent to which we, we are blinded by what they're doing. This is the New York Post. It's not me, but it could be me. Qatar's allegedly pumped more than $20 billion. Do American colleges and other top institutions as part of the Muslim Brotherhood's decades long plan to infiltrate the United States and destroy democracy from within? A leading research institute warns, while adding that the nefarious funding could be staggeringly higher. Okay, okay. The Qatar foundation, which is bankrolled by the country's ruling royal family, has apparently been injecting tens of billions of dollars into institutions to help the Sunni Islamist group carve out toeholds in the educational system. And that is. Let's see here. Stick with me. According to a new report by the Institute for the Study of Global Anti Semitism and Policy. You know, we ignore this at our own peril and we see what's going on in our schools and colleges and in our streets. What else? What else is needed to prove the point? How does a foreign government get to pour this kind of money into our country? You know, the bigots, the racists, the anti Semites will go on.

[Mark Levin]

Aipac a pac. Aipac, a pac. Commit a stadium full of people all buying hot dogs. Okay, that's Qatar. AIPAC would be. You go there, you order a hot dog, you put a little mustard on it. That's the mustard. I mean, these countries are spending tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars to destroy our country.

[Mark Steyn]

They do not share our belief system, the royal family.

[Mark Levin]

Qatar has a Bayah, a spiritual oath.

[Mark Steyn]

To the Muslim Brotherhood.

[Mark Levin]

So they're pumping in many, many billions of dollars into our universities, K12 schools.

[Mark Steyn]

And cultural institutions using influence and soft.

[Mark Levin]

Power to promote its ideology. Dr. Charles Asher Small, executive director of.

[Mark Steyn]

The group, claimed in an interview with the New York Post. Well, they've got the receipts to prove it. They certainly do.

[Mark Levin]

Cornell University over the years, Small alleged, with smaller amounts doled out to schools.

[Mark Steyn]

Such as Georgetown, Texas A&M and Brown University.

[Mark Levin]

This is the tip of the iceberg.

[Mark Steyn]

Small said of the eye watering sum.

[Mark Levin]

He estimates could be at least $100 billion. Now they're throwing around a trillion dollars. So to destroy America and own America.

[Mark Steyn]

100 billion is nothing to these people.

[Mark Levin]

Adding that the group has only looked.

[Mark Steyn]

At a few universities so far. They've looked at a few universities and they count $20 billion.

[Mark Levin]

Canal receives funding to run a medical school in Qatar that has seen roughly 600 graduates from 50 countries across Asia.

[Mark Steyn]

And the Middle east and that the.

[Mark Levin]

Money remains in Qatar, a spokesperson insisted.

[Mark Steyn]

MM telling you Budgeted funding for the.

[Mark Levin]

Medical school in Qatar has averaged approximately 156 million per year from 2012 to 2025, totaling 2.2 billion. Virtually all funding remains in Qatar for the wheel, Cornell Medicine, Qatar school operations, they added.

[Mark Steyn]

Nice.

[Mark Levin]

We are proud to be the first.

[Mark Steyn]

US Based university to offer an MD degree overseas to educate and train doctors and scientists in patient care, biomedical research and improving quality of life.

[Mark Levin]

Meanwhile, Georgetown has received over a billion.

[Mark Steyn]

In funds from Qatar, according to Small.

[Mark Levin]

Which was put forward as education in.

[Mark Steyn]

The social sciences.

[Mark Levin]

Middle east studies, of.

[Mark Steyn]

Course, and funding of the most important.

[Mark Levin]

Diplomatic training program in the US if not the world.

[Mark Steyn]

It's a very impactful use of soft power, he said.

[Mark Levin]

Georgetown did not respond to requests for comment.

[Mark Steyn]

Good Lord. And we let this go on the own. Half of Congress, the administration promotes this stuff. The media got media that go over there and slobber at the public trough. Businessmen all over the place. Boy oh boy oh boy. The group also discovered 1.3 billion had been given to Texas A and M by Qatar following years of searching. Small said the group found a contract between the Qatar foundation and the university agreeing to fund over 500 research projects conducted at the school's Qatar campus, which was established in 2003. Now the contract. Let's see here.

[Mark Levin]

The contract ceded all intellectual property rights.

[Mark Steyn]

To the foundation, that is to Qatar.

[Mark Levin]

And the school confirmed in a statement.

[Mark Steyn]

To the Post, adding that the faculty creating the IP are appropriately compensated so whatever is developed belongs to Qatar.

[Mark Levin]

Faculty, which create intellectual property at Texas and AMN Cart at Qatar received 37.5%.

[Mark Steyn]

Of the net licensing revenue from the IP, the statement said. The remaining is distributed 33.3% to the Qatar Foundation, 29.2% to Texas a and M in Qatar to reinvest in research.

[Mark Levin]

Of these, 58 projects have dual use for military purposes.

[Mark Steyn]

And dozens. It just goes on and on. The amount of money that these Arab countries, particularly a handful of them, are pouring into our country, into our institutions, any events, it's just staggering. That's why in many respects Israel just doesn't have a chance. Not a shot, no way. But this to me is just. I want to thank the New York Post.

[Mark Levin]

But that's okay.

[Mark Steyn]

Bannon will back Israel no matter what, right? What's that cut number six.

[Mark Levin]

Mr. Producer, just to remind our audience.

[Mark Steyn]

Go. What do you think about foreign aid to Israel? Is it a strategic partnership?

[Steve Bannon]

Israel is a partner of the United States. But people in Israel got to understand something. The number one enemy to the people in Israel are American Jews that do not support Israel and do not support maga. Okay? MAGA and the evangelical Christians and the traditional Catholics in this country have Israel's back. They have the Jews back. The biggest single enemy to the Jewish people people are not the Islamic supremacists. The biggest enemy you have is Inside the Wire. Progressive Jewish billionaires that are funding all this stuff. They are the number one enemy. And the people in Israel got to get. Gotta have to set that right because MAGA has your back. Traditional Catholics have your back and evangelical Christians have your back. We will always have the back of Israel. But I gotta tell you, you have an enemy inside the wire.

[Mark Steyn]

MAGA has your back. Now MAGA does. Actually when they do the polls on Maga. MAGA is very strongly pro Israel. Was very strongly pro Israel in its war with Iran. A very strongly pro American use of our bombers to take out those nuclear sites. So MAGA is. Is that Bannon is not. And neither is the rest of his ilk. I'll be right back.

[Mark Steyn]

Elizabeth warren. Is a complete nut job. Here's what she had to say today. Go.

[Elizabeth Warren]

JP Morgan Chase is Jeffrey Epstein's bank. A close personal relationship that spans years. I mean, ask yourself, shouldn't this be in the JP Morgan Chase advertisements? How long they served? How long they served Jeffrey Epstein long after his criminal conviction for sexual misconduct with underage girls. And here's the deal. They opened about 134 different accounts for Jeffrey Epstein over these years. They did more than a billion dollars in transactions for Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, they had a $50 million line of credit. He literally could walk into the bank and get $50 million from JPMorgan Chase. So what I'd like to do over on the Banking Committee is I'd like to have Mr. Dimon and some of those other bankers come in and under oath, testify about exactly what the financial trail is that kept Jeffrey Epstein afloat for so long.

[Mark Levin]

Can I ask you folks a question?

[Mark Steyn]

Why is she waiting until now to do this? Mr. Producer, they controlled the Senate for years, the House and the White House. Why just now? I mean, she'd be more credible if she'd been fighting for this. You know, I don't know how long she's been in the Senate. One day is too long, but 10 years.

[Mark Levin]

But she just wake up one day.

[Mark Steyn]

And suddenly she said, I'm on the Banking Committee. And what I would like to do is. I don't care if they do that. Fine by me, but that's not my point. My point is, what's the sudden epiphany? Epiphany here. By the way, I'm reading a great book, Mr. Ridduce. If you can grab it off Amazon and post it, I'd appreciate it. It's called Of Particles and Singing Strings. And you go, well, what's that about? It's just a fantastic book about music, medicine, spirituality. And it's just I'm very much enjoying this book. I've never read a book like this before. It's by Linda Freeling, and I want to Post it. You can grab it this weekend if you want. There's nothing in it for me. I'm just saying it's something that was sent to me and I'm going through it and I'm really enjoying it. And so you don't hear me say that often. No, we have authors I enjoy, please don't get me wrong. But this, this, this book is in particular, it's that I'm really enjoying. Again, it's Of Particles and Singing Strings. And you can find that on Amazon.com I'm certain of that. Let's see, it's a publisher. It might even be self published. I don't much care, but I don't think so. Palmetto publishing in Charleston, S.C. palmetto Publishing. But regardless of the publisher of Particles and Singing Strings, check it out on Amazon.com we're going to link to it. But I'm really enjoying this book. And I mean it's, it's got conversations in here, it's got individuals in here. Much of it, I'm sure is fiction.

[Mark Levin]

It's just, it's just.

[Mark Steyn]

I really never read anything like it, you know, I don't read a lot of fiction either, by the way, but it seems to be a real combination of things. Just a very well written and unique book by Dr. Linda Freeling. So I encourage you to check it out. Of Particles and Singing Strings. You can tell somebody poured their heart into that book and you might want to check it out. Chrissy Holohan. Does anybody know who that is? Did you know who that was, Mr. Producer, before you pulled this up? Nobody does. She's a nobody. But she happens to be a representative, a Democrat from Pennsylvania. And she was one of the six who put out that video. And now she's a victim. They all play victim. They call for an insurrection. Right. They're trying to incite the military to overthrow the elected President of the United States. Fundamentally to reject his orders if they think they're illegal. If they think they're illegal. Who's ever heard of anything like that? And now he slams back. He's called for my death. Cut four, Go.

[Democratic Representative (Chrissy Holohan)]

I will be honest. Being a member of Congress is always something where your safety is at risk. And so, and so for me, this isn't really a very different posture than before. You know, of course I'm very.

[Mark Steyn]

And why are you talking about it at all? I mean, you just said it's not a very different posture, so why are you even bringing it up? Why? Because the media are pushing this. What did I say like a half hour ago, if you want to know the policy positions and the talking points of the Democrat, just listen. Democrats, just listen to the media. It's the same thing. They're exact. There's no room between them, no space. Go ahead.

[Democratic Representative (Chrissy Holohan)]

And my team and my family. But I think I'm just continually stunned by the fact that I'm worried about it is because the commander in chief, the President of the United States, has called for my death.

[Mark Steyn]

Let's stop. The commander in chief, who you said should be ignored by the military. You called for, effectively, an insurrection. You encouraged individuals in the military to usurp the president of the United States. That is enormously dangerous because that could also lead to violence. And the man was almost assassinated twice. Almost twice. And you talk like this about the president. You talk about these things and he lashes back. And now. And now you're the victim. Well, why'd you start the whole thing would be my question. Go ahead.

[Democratic Representative (Chrissy Holohan)]

Thing that should just be chilling for everybody. And everybody should be worried about their safety in this nation, when the president can wield that sort of a.

[Mark Steyn]

No, I'm worried about my safety in this nation because of the neo Nazis, the Islamists and the Marxists. That's why I'm worried about my safety. And I have a legitimate reason. I won't get into all of it, to be worried about my safety. And no, Megyn Kelly, if something happens to me, I don't think it's your fault. It doesn't get any lower than that. You have become just. Just sick, pathetic. But there's a lot of people out there who have to worry about their safety. Now, unfortunately, Charlie Craig was one of them. And he even had a phalanx of security guards who couldn't save his life. Because if somebody wants to take you out, they're gonna take you out. That's what I figured out. I mean, I won't get into it, but it is something to worry about. So go ahead with the clip, please. She's done. She finished. She's not alone. Mark Kelly, cut three, go. By the way, I don't think there's anything more American or patriotic than standing with the Constitution. We're a country of laws.

[Mark Levin]

If anybody in the chain of command, anybody asks you to do something that's illegal, not only are. Not only should you. This guy doubles down. See, Somebody asks you to do something.

[Mark Steyn]

That'S illegal or unconstitutional, okay? So millions of people who are in.

[Mark Levin]

The military, and if any one of them thinks that what the president's Asking.

[Mark Steyn]

Them to do is illegal.

[Mark Levin]

They shouldn't do it. Is that what he's saying? You know, in all the time I've.

[Mark Steyn]

Mike Johnson on Capitol Hill yesterday. He responds to all this from the Democrats. Obviously the Epstein thing is dying, so now they got to grab on to the next thing. Cut to go.

[Mark Levin]

The words that the President chose are not the ones that I would use. Okay.

[Mark Steyn]

Obviously I don't think that this is. These are crimes punishable by death or any of that.

[Mark Levin]

Okay, but what, what the point that is it that we need to emphasize.

[Mark Steyn]

Here is that members of Congress in.

[Mark Levin]

The Senate and House should not be.

[Mark Steyn]

Telling troops to disobey orders.

[Mark Levin]

It is dangerous.

[Mark Steyn]

Mm. I agree with everything you just said there. I really do. But they're gonna blow them off. They're gonna blow them off. Now we have this. Cerfilis McCormick. That's right, I said it. Democrat, Florida, on Capitol Hill yesterday. She and others have been indicted for alleged $5 million in fraud on FEMA funds and so forth. Just shocking. Cut 13. Go. Any thoughts on the indictment, please? Well, it's an unjust indictment and it seems like these intimidation tactics have been provisioned. Why are they intimidation tactics? I mean, here's the thing, folks. It's like with the, with the mortgage stuff with Letitia James and Adam Schiff and these sorts of things.

[Mark Levin]

Did they Sign these documents in violation of the law or not. This isn't complicated stuff. $5 million moved around, hidden, so forth. And so that's not complicated stuff. Either you either did it or you didn't do it. And so now they have all this retribution. And this is part of a pattern. And this side and the other thing. It's amazing now how many Democrats have.

[Mark Steyn]

Come out and condemned this McCormick and asked for her to resign. None. We're going to wait till the process works out. Go ahead.

[Democratic Representative (Chrissy Holohan)]

Is getting censured all in hopes of.

[Mark Steyn]

Intimidating and kind of distracting from the Epstein files. And I look forward to my danger.

[Mark Levin]

Oh, the Epstein files.

[Mark Steyn]

I see. And what exactly is in the Epstein files? What's in the Epstein files? Nothing related to Trump in any notorious or untoward way. Nothing. Zero. Take attention from the Epstein files. So these fools talk about are the Epstein files.

[Democratic Representative (Chrissy Holohan)]

Go ahead myself and actually state the truth.

[Mark Steyn]

But if this is what Congress is becoming where they're always trying to intimidate you. Scare tactics especially attacking. Nobody's trying to intimidate you. The question on the table is whether you're a crook. Whether you stole money from the American taxpayers. I'm sure Mondame will be very worried about that, Mr. Producer. Because he's going to be a great steward of the tax dollar there in New York. You know. He'll be great at it. I want to read you something that is in the City Journal. It's a great publication. Teaching terrorism in American classrooms. A California nonprofits teach Palestine lessons smuggle pro terrorist propaganda into K through 12 schools. Sometimes you want to throw your arms up and just forget about it. Right? Rich? Let me go. Just have a spaghetti and meatball dinner. Let me. Let me be done with this. A little garlic bread if you don't mind. No, no. No cheese. I'm lactose intolerant. Maybe a Diet Coke. No. I'd have to do all this. But I'd have to convince my wife first to let me do it.

[Mark Levin]

She.

[Mark Steyn]

She actually wants me to live. It's the craziest damn thing. Stop eating that stuff. Okay. Should American K12 students be taught without informing their parents to sympathize with terrorists? Of course not. But that's exactly what's happening at K12 schools across the country. I already told you about Qatar spending tens of billions of dollars. And really I feel the administration should. Should do more. The Republicans in Congress should do more to put it under this. To just stop it. But it's going on. Thanks to instructional material supplied by the California based nonprofit Middle East Children's Alliance Mecca isn't that clever, Mr. Producer? Mecca and Unearthed by defending education, Mecca's Teach Palestine lesson plans reach up to 160,000American teachers go on to share those materials with young, impressionable students. You wonder why we have these people in the streets. You wonder why we have people who are susceptible to little Adolf and Kitarlson and people of that sort. The curriculum, distributed under the auspices of both Rethinking Schools and the Zinn Education Project. That's a dead giveaway right there.

[Mark Levin]

A so called progressive nonprofit publisher and.

[Mark Steyn]

Advocacy organization respectively whitewashes Hamas terrorism and.

[Mark Levin]

Promotes anti American narratives.

[Mark Steyn]

Much like Mandami, by the way, our.

[Mark Levin]

New friend, forget reading, science and arithmetic. The new fundamentals are revolution, systems of oppression and antisemitism.

[Mark Steyn]

That sounds familiar.

[Mark Levin]

In California's Sequoia Union High School District, an ethnic studies teacher whose 2023 lessons on the Israel Gaza War spark widespread community backlash attended an in person Mecca event, Palestine in our classrooms in January 2024, which focused on quote, building content knowledge about Palestine, including history and culture and providing pedagogical approaches and resources.

[Mark Steyn]

Pedagogical? An email invitation from organizers noted that.

[Mark Levin]

Palestine is not just the subject of.

[Mark Steyn]

An ongoing colonial project, no, as a.

[Mark Levin]

Rich and beautiful culture that should be shared and in the face of ongoing domestic attacks against the inclusion of Palestine in K through 12 curriculum and instruction, we believe we must also practice resistance.

[Mark Steyn]

Resilience and sumud in our dedication to.

[Mark Levin]

Bring Palestine into our classrooms.

[Mark Steyn]

God forbid we're going to be building tunnels in our classroom. Mr. Medusa, what are we going to do.

[Mark Levin]

In Arlington Public schools in Virginia?

[Mark Steyn]

Right outside of Washington D.C. arlington?

[Mark Levin]

You know where the Pentagon is based? A teacher's assignment accused Israel of genocide.

[Mark Steyn]

Much like Mandami today, our new friend.

[Mark Levin]

And asked students leading questions like how does Israel use the Holocaust to victimize themselves? Show an example of a logical fallacy.

[Mark Steyn]

Now the neo Nazis are really into this.

[Mark Levin]

Of late the lessons brought the teacher into conflict with school administrators, one of whom asked her how the material corresponded.

[Mark Steyn]

With the state's English language arts standards.

[Mark Levin]

But don't worry, we have a brand.

[Mark Steyn]

New government coming in in Virginia.

[Mark Levin]

A radical left wing Democrat who pretends to be a moderate, a true Islamist in address. Who's going to be the lieutenant Governor and some head case psychopath? Who's going to be the Attorney General?

[Mark Steyn]

If you had two bullets, wouldn't you shoot the former speaker? Oh yes. Would it be Mao, Hitler, Stalin or the former speaker? The former speaker of course he got elected.

[Mark Levin]

Now this teacher shared Mecca links on all staff listserv, encouraging others to use the organization's materials.

[Mark Steyn]

Ah, Portland.

[Mark Levin]

The Portland association of Teachers and Oregon Educators for Palestine.

[Mark Steyn]

Oregon Educators for Palestine.

[Mark Levin]

They encouraged members to use Teach Palestine resources in their know your rights Guide published in May 2024.

[Mark Steyn]

You know, it'd be better if we just closed down all the damn public schools. I'm telling you the truth.

[Mark Levin]

Well, what would they learn?

[Mark Steyn]

They wouldn't learn this. A Chicago era teacher led an effort to get the National Education association to rescind its endorsement of President Biden because of his support for Israel. Such as it was recommended her school.

[Mark Levin]

Use Teach Palestine resources as well as those of American Muslims for Palestine, an.

[Mark Steyn]

Organization under investigation by the state of Virginia.

[Mark Levin]

Earlier this year, report by the Network Contagion Research Institute NCRI revealed multiple points of contact between Mecca and radical terrorist organizations. Mecca's director of Gaza programming once served as Deputy Director of the Union of Health Care Worker Committees. Recognized by USAID in 1993 as a smokescreen for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

[Mark Steyn]

That's a terrorist organization. Hello. A US designated foreign terrorist organization. Mecca's founder reportedly conducted meetings with Lila Khalid, a PFLP member, perhaps better known for her role in two airplane hijackings. What the hell is going on here?

[Mark Levin]

Manage the Jews, right Tucker?

[Mark Steyn]

Oh yeah, that's them, you know, trying to get us into wars. Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy within is here. And it's not the enemy, it's the enemies within are here. And they are, they are ensconced. They are spreading the poison. We're allowing these frauds, phonies and fools to direct our attention elsewhere. Mecca's tax filings raise similar red flags. Over the last 37 years it has sent donations to this Palestinian Front Liberation Organization and their unions and groups known for openly glorifying terrorism in our own country, in our own school systems. On the domestic front, Mecca has allegedly partnered with US based extremist groups including Shut it Down for Palestine, allegedly receiving 100,000 from Fergie Chambers, a self declared far left militant. Parents everywhere should be made aware that nonprofits like Mecca are far from a benign force in education. Indeed, they're actively working to unravel America's social fabric of misleading children. School administrators should exercise greater oversight of the materials. No question about that or judge by the company we keep. Nonprofits that maintain relationships like these with terrorist groups should not be allowed to teach children in America's schools. By Nicole Niley she's president and founder of Defending Education in the City Journal. I'm telling you folks, this is all around us. This is going on. Nobody's paying attention to it but me. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

You know, in all the time I've.

I learned from the best. I mean, you know Hannity, that's why like, if he called or his team called, I would always go on for them. Always going for them. And then, you know, Levin's another one like Marcus. If Mark Levin, the godfather of the movie, he asked you to come on, you just do it like out of respect. You don't say, ah, Mark, hold on, I got a pizza down. You just do it. No, you show up and you show up.

[Mark Steyn]

I have no relationship.

[Mark Levin]

I just couldn't earlier. That was the only reason I have.

[Democratic Representative (Chrissy Holohan)]

This like crush from afar on Mark Levin. I, I've always loved him. I agree with Sean that he's the great one. I listen to everything he says. I read his books. But like he, he only really likes the true believers. And I've always been just more of a journalist who's like, let me, let me hear both sides. Let me go down. So I don't think I'm his number one favorite, but I secretly, from afar, am like a Mark Levin stalker.

[Mark Steyn]

Better lock the doors tonight, don't you think, Mr. Producer? I've seen movies that make me nervous. You know what I'm saying? Better lock the door. The doors. And watch the cats. I don't have any cats. Of course. Oh, Megan. What happened to you? We barely knew you. We have a Muslim civil rights group called cair. It's not a civil rights group, of course. It was founded, as you know, by Hamas activists in Philadelphia. Folks, we have this cancer spreading in our country. And these entities, funded by Qatar, funded by these other sources, they wish to do us harm. They wish to overthrow our system of government. They wish to destroy us from within. They wish to use our liberty to destroy liberty. The ideology is utterly incompatible with our founding. I've written multiple books on this. I've talked about it since forever. To you. Muslim civil rights group, they write over here at Fox News. CAIR sues Texas over Abbott's terrorist designation. Kerry calls the governor's proclamation a lawless act. I'm surprised they didn't say Islamophobia relies on inflammatory statements without a factual basis. No, that's not correct. We know what you guys are. We know exactly what you guys are. And so do you. And so do you. Now, I would say this. If anybody's ever sued by this organization here we have. Texas, right. That sued. As a matter of fact, I'm going to give some advice to Governor Abbott publicly, right here, over the phone, his phone, my microphone. Counterclaim, or at the very least, conduct very extensive discovery on all the contacts. Not just California Care, but Care. Their headquarters in Washington, D.C. all their contacts, all their texts, all their emails, all their communications, phone records of any kind, obviously. Hard documents, too. Check all the digital platforms you possibly can. And really use this as an opportunity, this lawsuit, as a huge mistake by this Islamist entity to get to the bottom of their funding, their communications and contacting. I think they have. They really screwed up here. I really do. And they're suing Texas over Abbott's terrorist designation. This is the perfect. All that kind of discovery would be completely relevant. Completely relevant. And so they should do it. Dig hard into who these people are, their entities, who's funding them. It was always felt a lot of Saudi money was coming in. I wouldn't be surprised, quite frankly, that a lot of salty money was coming in there. But there you have it. All right, Mr. Producer. I don't know what happened to it. As usual, it disappeared. Something is not right with this damn computer. Or maybe it's with me, but I think it's the computer. I blame the computer. It's not a person. So we have to resend that list and we'll cover it next hour. Okay, Rich.

[Mark Levin]

We'Re live and national. We are quasi professionals. This is what we do. But not all day, not all the time.

[Mark Steyn]

Quasi, quasi. Two fantastic shows this weekend on Life, Liberty and Levin, 8pm Eastern Time. Please set your DVRs because you're going to be running around like a turkey without your head trying to get ready for Thanksgiving or there's football. You know, there's a lot of cool things going on. I'm no fool. I know it's set your DVR. But 8pm Eastern Sunday, 8pm Eastern Saturday. We have two damn good shows with great guests, too. You're gonna love them. And we'll see you then. Okay.

[Mark Levin]

The power Hour is next. I shall return. With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago, is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal strong security. But Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate mega stores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Durbin's failed policies before his last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs and fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. Learn [e-mail] that's guardyourcard.com paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

[Mark Steyn]

He's here.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here now, broadcasting them from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

This is the best of Mark Levin. Happy Thanksgiving.

[Mark Steyn]

Hello, America.

[Mark Levin]

Mark Levin here, the Power Hour, the.

[Mark Steyn]

Final hour of the week. Our number, 877-3813-8187-7338-1381. When there's some breaking news, at least good through the weekend. Here, the Associated Depress Texas asked the Supreme Court today for an emergency order to be allowed to use a congressional redistricting plan that that is favorable to Republicans in the 2027 elections, despite a lower court ruling that it likely discriminates on the basis of race. Now we talked about that. It doesn't discriminate on the basis of race. But as I said, there's no space between the media and the Democrats. Of course, this is the way that works and it's the way it's always going to work. Anyway, it goes on. The state is calling on the high court to intervene to avoid confusion as congressional primary elections approach in March. So they're right around the corner. Justices have blocked past lower court rulings in congressional redistricting cases, most recently in Alabama, Louisiana. That came several months before elections. The ruling of the Supreme Court holds for now. Texas could be forced to hold elections next year if the lower court ruling is upheld using the map drawn by, let me rephrase this. It's very poorly written. So if the supreme, let's see here. The panel of Federal judges ruled 2 to 1, as you know, if the ruling holds for now, Texas could be forced to hold elections next year using the map drawn by the GOP controlled legislature in 2021 based on the 2020 census. All right. And then of course, they keep putting Trump in here, demanded Trump. That has nothing to do with the law and the Constitution. They can't control it. So that was the other point I raised in hour one. That is they're going to continue to report in a way that advances the talking points and policies of the Democrat Party. So that's what this whole article is. But to cut to the chase, Texas appealed to the Supreme Court. They said, look, we have an election in March. This wasn't race based. Can you please stay the decision of the lower court? And we'd be more than happy to come there and argue this case. And Sam Alito, who oversees this part of the Federal Appellate Circuit, he stayed it until the rest of the court has an opportunity to take a look at this.

[Mark Levin]

So here again because of the lower.

[Mark Steyn]

Courts, here again because of lower court judges acting like activists, like radical Democrat lawyers. And I don't care who appointed them. That's irrelevant, at least for this purpose because we know the so called Trump judge we're talking about, at least for now, through the weekend. We'll see what happens. While the rest of the justices get to chime in. But could have been worse, right? I suppose the court could have said no, that's all right then let it go. They can't let this go because this is really an outrage by the, by the Democrats and by their judges. No question about it. All right, let's keep moving. Report, Minister, the Somali Medicaid fraud investigation. This is, I'M telling you, this has.

[Mark Levin]

To be the third or fourth story.

[Mark Steyn]

I've done about this sort of thing Today reveals terrorist link Largest fund of Al Shahab is the Minnesota taxpayer. I'm sure Mondami would be very upset about this too. Not he's our new friend, I guess all the Republicans who said we'll be able to run against him in one race after another throughout the country. I guess that's not going to happen now, huh, Mr. Producer? No. And at least Stefanik said he's a jihadist and the president was asked about it and he said no, I disagree. So looks like Mandami will not be a liability to the Democrats and will not be a punching bag politically for the Republicans. So it was essentially announced today, Minnesota Somali Medicaid fraud. It's an investigation that reveals terrorist link. Largest funder of Al Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer. Now this is from our friends at Breitbart, one of the great sites. Somalis in Minnesota swindled millions in state Medicaid autism care programs. Believe this is any lower than this?

[Mark Levin]

And sent the cash back to their.

[Mark Steyn]

Homeland and its terror groups, investigators said. Breitbart News reported in July that nearly 100 autism clinics in Minnesota were being investigated for fraudulently billing Medicaid for treatment of children supposedly diagnosed with autism, most of it in connection with the rampantly corrupt Somali community around Minnesota. So the article goes. But the fraud is far more widespread with far more money involved than was previously reported, all of which has been presided over by former Democrat Party vice presidential nominee and Communist China favorite Governor Tim Walls. The money paid out by Minnesota scandal plague welfare schemes is monumental. The state's failed Medicaid Housing Stabilization Service program, for instance, was kicked off in 2021 with expenses reported to ring in at 2.6 million. But instead the program paid out 21 million its first year. Each subsequent year, the program ballooned 42 million, then 74 million, then 104 million. And during the first half of 2025, costs have already reached 61 million, according to the City Journal. Now fraud is also endemic in many of Minnesota's other welfare programs. SUNY Journal noted that a Somali woman named Ashafara Hassan has been charged with defrauding the state's Early Intensive Developmental Behavioral intervention program of $14 million. All these programs, all these welfare programs, all these redistribution programs, all these programs for the poor, the amount of fraud and waste, and when you look at these annual or every two or three year reports that come out from the GAO about the fraud in federal spending. And just think about states, too. But the fraud, in fact, it's hundreds of billions of dollars. Hundreds of billions of dollars. Prosecutors now say Hassan and her cohorts approached Somali families and promised them kickbacks between $300 and $1,500 a month per child if they enrolled in the state's autism treatment programs. The fraud in autism treatment has skyrocketed. Apart from Hassan's alleged criminal enterprises, the City Journal notes that autism claims to Medicaid in Minnesota have skyrocketed in recent years from 3 million in 2018 to 54 million in 2019, 77 million in 2020, 183 million in 2021, 279 million in 2022, and nearly 400 million in 2023.

[Mark Levin]

So in five years time, it's gone from 3 million to nearly 400 million.

[Mark Steyn]

Mr. Producer.

[Mark Levin]

Businesses are also in on the con. Autism providers soared from 41 across the.

[Mark Steyn]

Entire state in 2020 to 328 by 2025. These are the lowest of low lives, evil people. They use autism as a camouflage for this kind of massive theft of the taxpayer. It's just disgusting.

[Mark Levin]

The theft was so deep that 1 in every 16 Somali 4 year olds.

[Mark Steyn]

In Minnesota had been officially diagnosed with autism, a rate that is more than.

[Mark Levin]

Triple the state average. And this is all in addition to.

[Mark Steyn]

Feeding Our Future scam that has resulted in 70 Minnesota Somalis being indicted for a quarter of a billion dollars in fraudulent food aid. This is not an isolated scheme, Joe Thompson, the U.S. attorney, said in a press release.

[Mark Levin]

From Feeding Our Future to Housing Stabilization.

[Mark Steyn]

Services and now Autism Services.

[Mark Levin]

These massive.

[Mark Steyn]

Fraud schemes from a web that has stolen billions of dollars in taxpayer money. Each case we bring exposes another strand of this network, but we can't find.

[Mark Levin]

Where to cut spending.

[Mark Steyn]

No, in most of these cases, unlike a lot of Medicare fraud and Medicaid fraud cases nationally aren't just overbilling, he said.

[Mark Levin]

These are often just purely fictitious companies solely created to defraud the system.

[Mark Steyn]

And that's unique in the extent to.

[Mark Levin]

Which we have that here in Minnesota.

[Mark Steyn]

I guess this is part what happens when you don't vet the immigrants coming into the country, Right? Clearly, as they bring their culture and their attitudes and their practices with them. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Israel is at war with Iran, a nation whose leaders have vowed to wipe Israel and even the United States off the map. In a necessary act of self defense, Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities, military targets, and top leadership. Right now, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid and emergency kits, especially to Israel's most vulnerable people, the sick, the elderly, children and families in great need. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is also making sure that hospitals, emergency rooms and shelters are fully stocked with critical and life saving medical supplies. But the Fellowship needs your most generous gift today to make this work possible. Now is the time, ladies and gentlemen, to stand with Israel's most vulnerable. To rush your gift, call 888-585-IFCJ and donate today. That's 888-585-IFCj or online at levin for the fellowship.org that's Levi N for the fellowship.org. This is Mark Levin wishing you and your family a happy, happy Thanksgiving. Now back to the best of me.

[Mark Steyn]

You know, ladies and gentlemen, I'm just telling you the truth. If I have to stand alone among broadcasters when it comes to basic issues of moral, moral fortitude, then so be it. There are a few of us, but not enough. And same with society generally. You folks Mr. And Mrs. America, you get it? But here, Zorham Mandami sides with the anti Israel mob and then he meets with the president today. I understand the meeting was scheduled, but I'm sorry, no, I will not get used to him and no, I will not embrace him. And no, I will not help him. And no, I will not do any of those things. He's the enemy. He's the enemy because he says things, he plans to do things that an enemy does. And I side with Eli Stefanik, who called him a jihadi president today, said he doesn't agree with that. I do agree with that. Just one man's opinion. Given all the years of hate and vile and poison that he has spilled into the public square, one meeting doesn't fix all that, doesn't fix it for me anyway. Just one man's opinion. And I'll get into that a little bit more. There's an excellent piece written in the Free Press that I want to share with you soon. You know, every day I hear from Americans who feel like they're losing their voice, frustrated that their values are being ignored or erased.

[Mark Levin]

So here.

[Mark Steyn]

This is from the editors at the Free Press. New Yorkers know about this. Many of you may not On Wednesday evening, a mob of Palestinian activists stormed the entrance to the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan. So these people can't even meet at their place of worship without vile intimidation and threats. From New York to Gaza. Globalize the intifada in resistance. You make us proud. Take another settler out, one agitator repeated. We need to make them scared. The head rabbi of the synagogue, Arthur schneier, is a 95 year old Holocaust survivor who was born in Vienna in 1930. He has vivid memories of Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, when Nazis rampaged throughout Germany and Austria, attacking Jewish shops, synagogues and homes, injuring and killing Jews in a horrific pogrom. Now he gets to see the same human material that shattered the glass of synagogues in Berlin and Vienna in 1938 right outside his own synagogue, said another New York rabbi. If you ask the organization screaming at Jews on the sidewalk outside, they would have told you that they were protesting a settler recruiting fair. One might think that this would be a fairly easy call for Mayor Elect Zoran Mandami. He could have simply stated the obvious, that no one should be shouting at Americans on their way to church, mosque, synagogue, temple to practice the religious liberty the founders promised all of us.

[Mark Levin]

He could have taken a page from.

[Mark Steyn]

Outgoing Mayor Eric Adams, who settled next. When you desecrate one house of worship, you desecrate them all. Instead, Mondami ordered an alarming equivocation. His spokesperson, Dora Pekek, on Thursday said the mayor elect has discouraged the language and used at last night's protests and will continue to do so. He believes every New Yorker should be free to enter a house of worship without intimidation and that these sacred spaces should not be used to promote activities in violation of international law. In violation of international law? What violation of International law could possibly be happening in a synagogue on the Upper east side of Manhattan on a weeknight in November. What war crimes could the families gathered there be committing? If you asked the organizers screaming at Jews on the sidewalk outside, they would have told you that they were protesting a settler recruiting fair. Their promotional material said, no settlers on stolen land. Now this is Judea and Samaria, America, the birthplace of Judaism, which is, in effect, a birthplace of Christianity, too. Now, that was a lie. There was no settler recruiting fair on Wednesday at Park East Synagogue. Instead, there was a program sponsored by Nefesh B Nefesh organization that helps facilitate the immigration of Northern American Jews to Israel. Many Jews in the west have started this process, known in Hebrew as aliyah, because of the anti Semitism that is skyrocketing in Europe and now in the United States. To give one example, an organization that tracks the emigration of Jews to Israel estimated earlier this year that 38% of France's 200,000 Jewish citizens are now seriously considering making a new home in Israel. Why? Because I'm speaking now, not the newspaper. Because France has been overrun by Islamists, that's why. It's not safe to be a Jew in the streets of Paris anymore. That's why. To be clear, Nefvesh Ben Nefesh does not sell land in any part of Israel. At its events, the group simply provides information on how to make a new life in the Jewish state, providing job resources, locations for Hebrew language training, and other services for future emigres. But even if Park East Synagogue hosted an event where an organization was selling Israeli land, the idea that it's somehow illegal or anything other than completely normal is grotesque. The centrality of the Land of Israel as a core tenet of Judaism itself for three millennia, Jews have been moving there long before the Zionist movement even began in the 19th century. So by insinuating Ismdaami, our new friend that conservatives will one day learn to like, by insinuating that past East Synagogue was violating international law, Mondami was laundering the lies and libel of the hate group. And make no mistake, it's just that in February, it organized a riot. The same group in the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Borough Park, Brooklyn, promising to flood Barrow Park, a direct lift from Al Aqsa.

[Mark Levin]

Flood.

[Mark Steyn]

The name hamasa fixed the October 7, 2023 slaughter. And I could go on. So the mayor is a bastard for.

[Mark Levin]

The things he says and promotes. And no, no, no, I will not.

[Mark Steyn]

Get along with him or anybody like him. Period. I'll be right back. Let me Ask you something. Do you remember 2008? Well, do you remember all the bailouts, the fear, the sleepless nights watching your savings evaporate? I do. Well, I get a similar vibe of this kind of rot starting to be creeping in again. Bad loans, risky banks, mountains of debt nobody wants to talk about. Auto loan defaults are rising.

[Mark Levin]

Commercial real estate's not what it used to be. Look, we've been here before and it.

[Mark Steyn]

Usually doesn't end well for people who wait. But here's the good news. You don't have to sit helplessly this time. For over 25 years, monetary gold has helped Americans just like you get help protecting their wealth through every storm.

You're listening to the best of the Mark Levin Show. Happy Thanksgiving. Marjorie Taylor, County Green, has announced, apparently.

[Mark Steyn]

Through CNN, that she will be retiring from Congress on January 5th. Mr. Producer, through her ex account. I apologize deeply sorry. Through her X account, she has announced that she will retire as of January 5th. I'm sure there's a lot of tears out there for a boy. She. She went bat, you know. What? Crazy. Didn't she? Bat. Fill in the blank. Crazy. Considered one of the most right wing and then flops over to the other side and is embraced by the View and CNN and MSNBC and every left wing thug, kook media platform imaginable, much like Katarlson. And now little Adolf is a big hit with the left, apparently in the media. They love him too, the little dwarf. And then of course, you got the whole conga line. But we're going to fight back even harder. We want to save the Republican Party. We want to ensure it's the party of Reagan Trump. We want to ensure that it remains the constitutional conservative party that it is. I would remind some people who've been doing interviews lately and who say, what did we ever get from the Republican establishment? Well, first of all, Reagan wasn't Republican establishment. Peace through strength. Make America great again. That was Reagan in 1984. But he only defeated the Soviet Union without firing a bullet. I think that was pretty good, don't you, Mr. Producer? Massive economic growth. So massive the economic growth extended beyond his presidency into the presidency of George Bush 41 and into the presidency of Bill Clinton. It was massive. Massive. And he built up the United States military in a way that was unbelievable. And he got almost 60% of the vote and over 500 electoral college votes, too. It's really worth paying attention. These people that do these interviews, they sound like Marxists, you know, he sucked.

[Mark Levin]

He sucked. The world begins today. I'm just so great.

[Mark Steyn]

No, I don't think so. No, I don't think so. Let's try a few calls. Let's go to Sean. Buffalo, New York. Sirius XM satellite. Does Sean, your team. I don't know what the hell's happened to the Bills, do you?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, I don't even follow football much anymore. I remember when the first team jumped in, the whole thing of you got to get the shot to be able to watch a game, you know, at the stand, so.

[Mark Steyn]

All right, I don't say, I don't disagree with. Necessarily. Go right ahead, my friend.

[Caller/Listener]

I feel a bit betrayed. I don't know what Trump's move is, but just the way that he, Madani, was accepted and the way it was before the cameras, Reagan is spinning in his grave.

[Mark Steyn]

And Elise Stefanik, who called him a jihadist, and the President disagrees with that. I mean, that puts her in a tough position, doesn't it?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, it does.

[Mark Steyn]

But I'm sorry, but I. I'm sorry, but I cannot embrace this man. I will not embrace this man. The things he has said, the things he's doing, he's still doing them. And look, we're all born with our own viewpoint. We all have independent minds. I have my principles. My principles don't change. If you really look at the people around me, people like Tucker Carlson, they've changed in a horrendous way. Megyn Kelly really hasn't changed. She's always kind of been a chameleon, but similar to Bannon. But Bannon was at least somewhat conservative. Now he's made a fool of himself. You got this guy Fuentes, who's basically, you know, dog crap on the bottom of your sneaker, comes out of nowhere and isn't nowhere, going nowhere, ultimately. And my principles haven't changed. My views haven't changed. Yes, people can change their attitudes and the character and so forth and so on, but core moral, ethical principles don't change. They are what they are. And Mandami is sort of the. You know, he's. He has said and done so many evil things. I mean, we supposed to close our eyes to it. Go ahead. Sean.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, it just one thing after another out of that guy's mouth and, you know, see, a whole lot of this just. It just reminds me of the Apostle Paul warning, you know, his reader, his followers of, you know, unsound doctrine. And that's what it seems like. The whole world and whole country suffering from unsound doctorate, whether it be biblical or unsound doctrine of law.

[Mark Steyn]

Mm, you make a great point.

[Mark Levin]

Very good call.

[Mark Steyn]

Thank you, Sean. Appreciate that. Let's try Randall, Shreveport, Louisiana. Serious? Randall's gone. I don't see an Andy on here. Is that a new list you sent me? All right, let me. Hold on, folks. I got a look.

[Mark Levin]

I'm a quasi professional.

[Mark Steyn]

What do you want from me? All right, let's try Andy. New Market, Maryland. I never heard of a New Market, Maryland. I'm sure there is one. I've heard of a new market, Virginia.

[Mark Levin]

SiriusXM satellite.

[Mark Steyn]

Go right ahead, please.

[Caller/Listener]

Happy Friday, Mr. Levin. Longtime listener, first time caller. Greetings from the beautiful mountains of Frederick County.

[Mark Steyn]

I love Frederick. It's like the last Republican holdout in the whole state there, maybe that. In the Eastern Shore, I guess. Anyway, how may I help you, my friend in the.

[Caller/Listener]

Well, I wanted to just briefly before I make a comment about Ukraine. Back in the mid-2000s, I had worked at the MRC for the great Burt Bozell and found myself as a 27 year old, sitting across the table from a man named Mark Levin. So really, really have enjoyed. You're both a gentleman and a scholar and really appreciate. You really should brand yourself as defender of freedom.

[Mark Steyn]

Okay, well, thank you.

[Caller/Listener]

Things that you said about Ukraine the past several years. Two points if you allow me. First, if we think that the invaders will stop with their mess and eastern parts of Ukraine, they're sadly mistaken. As you taught us over the years, history is going to repeat itself. And two, these are brave young men and women, children, huddling hours, days in the subway, being shot at for no reason at all. The west really, in my opinion, needs to continue to support Ukraine. Ukraine deserves Western support. They are defending our democracy. And Even more worrisome, Mr. Levin, as you told us, this has serious potential for a precedent on the international scale that, frankly, I don't think anyone wants to deal with.

[Mark Steyn]

First of all, I agree with you 100%. Secondly, communist China is watching this. And if they see weakness or they see us buckle, they will indeed invade Taiwan in due course. Maybe soon after the President leaves office and the next president takes over. There's no question, in my view. In addition, why Would they agree? Why would Putin agree to any permanent ceasefire, no matter how much land is ceded to him? Why would he when he's already written at length about his focus on Poland, Romania, the Balkan states? I don't know why we don't take these people at their word. But a temporary ceasefire and I fear that not happen in the Middle East. But Hamas is regenerating and we're seeing Iran is working again with Hezbollah and so forth and so on. The fact of the matter is there are evil forces out there and we can put our head in the sand or we can take the wrong side, but there's a lot we can do. But I use my own judgment, my own research over the decades, my own writing over the decades, my own knowledge and experience over the decades and draw my own conclusions. And I'm not going to be bullied by these isolationist neo Nazi types. It's not going to happen. And I'm not going to rewrite conservatism. So we become an isolationist pacifist ideology which isn't conservatism and never has been. And all these allegations about interventionism and forever wars, there's some truth to that, but I don't stand for that either. I don't stand for that either. Andy, you're a good man. I really appreciate your call. God bless you, my friend, and thanks for all that you've done in the doing now and in the past. We'll be right back.

I hope you have a great weekend. By the way, don't forget Life Liberty in Levin, 8pm Please lock it in Eastern Time on your DVR. Watch us live if you wish. And same with Sunday, same time, same place. I think you're gonna love it. If you like the show, I'm really pleased about it. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here. You know, there's a lot of confusion about you, the audience. People say it's an old audience. We have all kinds of people in the audience. But you heard a gentleman, Andy, just call you. He's a young man and he said, I remember when I was a young guy, I sat across the table from you and people call, say, I remember when I was in the car with my parents. This program is multi generational and for those of you who have children and grandchildren and when you're in the car and you listen to this program, it has an impact on them too. It truly does. And we're going to stick to our principles, embrace our country and our founding and our founding documents, reject the Marxists, Islamists, the neo Nazis and the fascists and we're going to stay true to who we are as a nation and a people. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, the men and women in Ukraine. God bless you, the men and women in Israel and we you, The American.
