Date: January 17, 2026
Host: Mark Levin (Cumulus Podcast Network)

Overview

In this episode, Mark Levin explores the twin crises he sees facing America: mass immigration and the nation's identity amidst changing demographics. Levin contends that the Democratic Party, along with radical Marxist and Islamist elements, is weaponizing immigration to alter the fabric of American society, undermine constitutional norms, and move the country away from its founding principles. The discussion also covers international turmoil—especially in Iran—and the need for Americans to remain vigilant and principled. The episode features an extended interview with Mark Meckler of the Convention of States, listener calls, and commentary on figures such as President Trump, Josh Shapiro, and Gavin Newsom.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Immigration, ICE, and National Identity

[03:33 – 17:00]

• Democratic Opposition to ICE & Border Enforcement:

  • Levin asserts that Democrats continually "trash" ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and hinder enforcement of immigration laws, which he frames as an attack not just on policy but on national identity and civil society.
  • He characterizes the left’s actions as “revolution by immigration and immigration by revolution” and claims efforts are underway to fundamentally change the citizenry for political gain.
  • Quote: "The Democrat Party hates this country and they're trying to destroy it." — Mark Levin [03:34]
  • Levin accuses Democrats of betting on the Supreme Court to rule in favor of birthright citizenship, thus securing a permanent political majority via immigration.

• Sanctuary Cities as “Segregation”:

  • Sanctuary policies are described as “segregation” from the rule of law, meant to protect what he labels “revolutionaries,” not legitimate immigrants.
  • Quote: “A sanctuary city or a sanctuary state is intended to create an enclave that is segregated from the rest of the nation. The Democrat Party pushed segregation of one kind, and now they're pushing segregation of another kind.” — Mark Levin [06:49]

• ICE as Defenders of the Republic:

  • Levin and his producer argue ICE “stands between us and complete anarchy.”
  • The media and activist rhetoric portraying ICE as “Gestapo” is seen as disinformation to delegitimize law enforcement.

• Historic Comparison:

  • Levin notes the Insurrection Act has been used by both parties, contrary to the narrative branding its use as dictatorial.

2. Critique of Political Figures

[19:20 – 29:34]

• Josh Shapiro:

  • Levin and Mark Meckler criticize Shapiro for allegedly pandering to Islamists and having a weak, “marble mouth” position on immigration, law enforcement, and the Insurrection Act.
    • Quote: "This guy’s a nothing, a zippo, zero, nada. He's no, Fetterman." — Mark Levin [20:41]
  • Shapiro's response to the Insurrection Act and calls for a “pathway for those who are here and who are following the law” is derided as empty double talk.

• Gavin Newsom:

  • Portrayed as incompetent and seeking national power while California crumbles under his leadership.
  • Quote: "This Gavin Newsom is a media whore. He’s a chameleon. A complete failure as a governor." — Mark Levin [25:06]
  • Levin castigates Newsom’s claim that Trump is “stoking a civil war,” stating the real destabilization comes from radical leftists.

• Bernie Sanders, Omar, Tlaib:

  • Cited as figures unwilling to encourage assimilation and accused of undermining the country’s institutions.

3. Iran, Foreign Affairs, and Moral Clarity

[36:10 – 65:20]

• Iran as a “Concentration Camp”:

  • Levin delivers an impassioned exposé on the crackdown, executions, and suppression occurring in Iran, likening the entire nation to a “concentration camp."
    • Quote: “Do you know what Iran is today? It's a concentration camp. The whole country is a concentration camp.” — Mark Levin [36:17]
  • Points out the Western media and Democrats’ comparative silence.

• US Foreign Policy:

  • Criticizes “Fortress America” rhetoric, warning that both external enemies (Iran, China) and hostile ideologies imported via immigration threaten US security.
  • Reiterates the importance of supporting democracy abroad and not succumbing to isolationism.

• President Trump’s Actions on Iran:

  • Levin interprets Trump’s actions as principled and impactful (e.g., halting planned executions in Iran).
  • Dismisses critiques from media figures like Tucker Carlson as disconnected from real leadership.

4. The Convention of States and Constitutional Reform

[84:25 – 92:52]

• Mark Meckler Interview:

  • Discusses the momentum behind the Convention of States, close to 20 states ratifying.
  • Asserts that constitutional amendments originating from the states are the only way to achieve lasting reform and protect Trump-era gains from reversal.
  • Quote: “There's so much more to do. And also...a lot of the great things that Donald Trump is doing and will continue to do... can be reversed by a Democrat administration… we need to ensconce [them] in the Constitution.” – Mark Meckler [86:00]

• Concerns About Anti-Semitism on the Right:

  • Both Levin and Meckler express alarm over rising anti-Semitic rhetoric, singling out figures like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens for fanning such sentiment.
  • Meckler: “I never expected in my entire lifetime, 63 years old, that I'd see the kind of heinous stuff… by the likes of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.” [86:43]

5. Historical Context and Shifting Party Positions on Immigration

[74:18 – 83:56]

• Levin reviews how, until recently, leading Democrats such as Obama, Bill Clinton, and Harry Reid were vocal in their opposition to illegal immigration and supportive of removals:
  • Quote Compilation: “Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple.” – Historic Dem Clip [76:10]
• Notes the historic role of labor leaders like Cesar Chavez, who opposed illegal immigration due to its negative impact on American workers.
• Attributes the sea change to the 1965 Hart-Celler Act and the subsequent radicalization of the party on immigration issues.

6. Listeners’ Calls: Reflections and Fears on Cultural Assimilation, Law, and Patriotism

[93:56 – 101:35]

• Concerns about Islamist Enclaves:
  • Callers question why religious/political enclaves (notably Islamic) are permitted to form and whether this undermines assimilation and American values.
• Assimilation and Oath of Allegiance:
  • Listeners argue that lax enforcement of the oath of allegiance for new immigrants leads to incompatible cultural influx.
  • Levin: “If your goal is to conquer the founding values... you don't open a border and allow anybody in unless they are vetted...” [96:48]
• Gratitude Towards Levin’s Message:
  • Multiple callers thank Levin for his clarity and emotional candor, comparing the moment to dangerous eras in world history.

Transcript

[Mark Levin]

He's here. He's here now. Broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Le Ven. Sam, Sara, Mark Levin here. The hiccups.

[Mark Levin]

I hope I don't do it on.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

The air, but it's possible. Our Number is at 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

I hope you're doing well. I've taken a long hiatus from being a guest on most of my colleagues programs on Fox and Sean and I have had a number of discussions. So as I told you earlier in the week, the plan is that I will be on his program a couple times a month and I will be there tonight 9.20pm you should tune in at 9pm but I will be on there and I hope you can tune in. I'm guessing the subject will be Iran. We don't, you know, telegraph everything and plan and plot everything. So it is free going. So free wielding. I look forward to that. I hope you'll join us there. And I want to thank you for joining us here. And by the way, we have two great shows this weekend, Saturday night, 8pm Eastern. I hope you'll set your DVR. It's going to be about Iran and I have a lot to say about it. The opening statement. And I'll bring in American history to underscore my point. We have Mark Thiessen, brilliant guy. He'll be with us. And Rich Goldstein, who is the number one expert as far as I'm concerned. Goldberg rather the number one expert on Iran. We'll spend some time on it. I suspect I'll be asked about that by Sean, too. And I want to talk about Iran, but not yet. I want to talk first about ICE and what's happening in our cities. I've got pulled together here from Mr. Producer, a number of clips of Democrats yet again trashing ice, yet again.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Attacking.

[Mark Levin]

The Insurrection, Insurrection act that's been used, I think over 30 times by Democrats and Republicans really since nearly the beginning of the Republic, warning Donald Trump that you better not. So they gin up this violence through their militia, through their mobs, and then they warn ICE not to do anything about it and don't use the Insurrection act, don't use the military. The Democrat Party hates this country and they're trying to destroy it. And they are trying to change the demographics. They're betting the Supreme Court will not Rule properly on birthright citizenship. And they could be right. And they brought in tens of millions of illegal aliens here. And I'm talking about, in some cases, not all, obviously the worst of the worst. You can see the more recent immigrants from the Middle east and other Arab and Muslim countries. They're not in the streets protesting against Iran. They're silent, absolutely silent, as their fellow Muslims are being slaughtered and mowed down. Not all Muslims, but many. It's appalling. Absolutely disgusting. And then you can see the Marxist Islamists. They just change shirts, they change banners, they change countries, but they're always against us. They change organizations, but they're always against us.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

It's Hamas and Palestine. One day it's ice, the next day it's whatever it is, Venezuela.

[Mark Levin]

Same people, same thing. Day in and day out.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

We have foreign governments intervening in our country.

[Mark Levin]

ICE is there to protect you and me.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Ice, this administration stands between us, US.

[Mark Levin]

And complete anarchy and the destruction of the civil society.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

That's what's going on here. The Democrat Party sees immigration as revolution.

[Mark Levin]

As I've said over and over again, revolution. That is immigration by revolution and revolution by immigration.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

And they not only had the border open, they were flying illegal aliens into.

[Mark Levin]

The country, as you recall.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands. And changing the citizenry, changing the demographics, feeling they'll get their birthright citizenship. Bringing people into this country that have 5, 10, 12 children who will be citizens if this isn't stopped by the court and be Democrats and voters and absolutely overwhelm this society. Absolutely overwhelm it. You see it right now. You see it throughout Europe, and you see it over your shoulder. We're talking about ideologies that have no intention of assimilating. Their whole purpose is to destroy the country, to conquer us, not to assimilate into our culture. I've played clips of their imams. I read it to you. Bernie Sanders, he has no intention of wanting people to assimilate into our countries. They're trying to destroy it. While he's out there claiming that he concerns about equality and race and affordability.

[Mark Levin]

While he's destroying the institutions of this society.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

And let me tell you something, that's happening at a rapid pace, and it's going to affect everybody who's an American citizen, regardless of your race, regardless of your sex, and regardless of your faith, it is going to destroy the greatest country on the face of the earth and Marxism and Islamism. To be clear, as I have been for years, as I have been behind this microphone on TV and in My books are incompatible with Americanism, with our declaration, with our Constitution, with our rule of law. ICE today is the front line to defend this republic against all of these elements and the Democrat Party, all of them. Sanctuary cities, sanctuary states. Why do they exist? To protect immigrants? No, they exist to protect these revolutionaries. That's why they exist. To protect the Khalils, to promote the Mandamis, to get elected, the Taliban, the Omar's. That's what they're about. They mean sanctuary against the United States, sanctuary against the rule of law, sanctuary against the Constitution. A sanctuary city or a sanctuary state is intended to create an enclave that is segregated from the rest of the nation. The Democrat Party pushed segregation of one kind, which we had to eliminate, and now they're pushing segregation of another kind. I speak the truth about this 100%. That's what's going on in this country because the citizenry will not move the way that Democrats want. They're changing the citizenry. I've told you this, year after year, that's what's going on. We're going to check in with Mark Meckler in our three, the executive director, president, CEO and all the rest of it. Thank goodness. A convention of states to see where that stands. There may be some movement in Kansas. We'll get the numbers. We'll see how far away we are. Because I don't know of any other mechanism, honestly, that in the end is.

[Mark Levin]

Going to, that is going to save the Republic.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Donald Trump, you say Donald Trump has been fantastic, but he's not going to be president for life, is he?

[Mark Levin]

No, he's not.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

So this war on ice is a war on you, Mr. And Mrs. America. This war on ice is an effort by the Democrat Party, the Islamists and Marxists and the illegal aliens together to overthrow our country in strict violation of our immigration laws, of our criminal statutes and our Constitution. That's what they're doing in the streets. Organized, attacking violent Pritzker, Newsom, the mayors Frye, Governor Walsh, Mandami. These people are despicable. And I don't want to hear about Josh Shapiro. You're going to hear about him in a minute. You know what his suggestion is? We need to legalize these people. That's right. Legalize the revolution. Legalize the Islamists. This guy's been selling out to the Islamists all over Philadelphia and they have a particularly virulent population of Islamists in Philadelphia. And he's doing everything he can to kowtow to them, to subsidize them, because he puts his own interest on being President of the United States above everything else. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Mud love in.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

This is very serious.

[Mark Levin]

And they're. They're turning the public against ice.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Which.

[Mark Levin]

Is what they do. Let's be honest about it. If you're a Marxist, Islamist, a leftist, propaganda comes easy. If you have media outlets and platforms, you have ways to get it out to millions, tens of millions of people on a constant basis. It's a lot easier to make accusations and to use one example or two examples and to take them out of context than it is to play defense.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

No, ice is good.

[Mark Levin]

No. 50% of the ice members are actually.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Minorities, quote, unquote, people of color. No, they've actually captured and removed so many people without incident. And you see, it's just easier to say, isis, Gestapo, ISIS disappearing people. ISIS this and ISIS that, and Trump is Hitler and Trump's a dictator.

[Mark Levin]

It's much easier to do that, to.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Create passion and emotion and anger. And that's what the Democrat Party is good at. That's what fascist parties are good at. That's what Communist parties are good at. In civil societies where you're supposed to have at least some level of intelligent debate based on facts and knowledge, it's a lot harder to be a propagandist and a demagogue. You don't want to be a propagandist and a demagogue, but things happen fast. Now, sound bites this, that, and the other. And so when somebody said they're Gestapo, they're doing this, then you got to say, well, now, wait a minute.

[Mark Levin]

Let me explain.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Now, you don't explain anything. They killed. Good. They just killed her. They shot her. No, that's not. He was in trouble. Yeah, that's all they did. This is authoritarianism. That's it. Gestapo. No, actually, these people are qualified. They're dead. We don't care. Get my point, Mr. Producer? This is what they are.

[Mark Levin]

This is what they do. They have mobs. They build mobs. They pretend they're against the system when in fact, you and I promoting freedom in a civil society and Republicanism and constitutionalism.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

We're the ones that are actually going.

[Mark Levin]

Against what is most of human history.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

America is an exception. It's not a rule. Freedom is an exception. It's not the rule. It should be, but it's not. We are the ones that are standing between tyranny and the rest of us. ICE is on the front lines trying to protect us, our communities trying to enforce federal law passed by Congress.

[Mark Levin]

Which.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Is undergirded by the Constitution.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Authoritarianism.

[Mark Levin]

They're trying to destroy separation of powers. They're trying to destroy the legitimate function.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Of the judiciary, not the activist politburo, like judiciary. When they're in power, they attack free speech immediately. Ban this, ban that. That's who they are. Sanctuary cities and states. Listen to me clearly. It's segregation. Hello, hello, America. It's segregation. We're a sanctuary city. The laws don't apply to us. If we want Islamists and Marxists and we want criminals and we want violent people and they're trying to overthrow the country, we are going to provide them protection, legally, officially, whether you think it's constitutional or not. What are you going to do about it? Send ICE in here. These Democrat mayors and these Democrat governors are evil. They're not just radical, they're not just reprobates. They're evil. And what they hope to do is, yes, change the electorate. Push Republicans out, push moderate Democrats out. Replace the electorate with illegal immigrants. The children of illegal immigrants. Islamists, Marxists, they're all fine with it. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. We got to attack the man. Attack the man. ICE five years ago. Attack the cops. The local cops got to attack them 20 years ago. Was attack the military. The military got to attack them. And they wave around the Constitution. They hate the men who wrote it. Slaveholders.

[Mark Levin]

They call them white supremacists. It's what they say. And then they wave it around. Hey, we have First Amendment rights here. Where does come from? Come from Islam?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

No.

[Mark Levin]

Marxist?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

No.

[Mark Levin]

Oh, came from the Constitution. No. They came from God. And the Constitution recognizes it and protects it.

[Caller or Guest]

Oh.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, you should be standing up for ice. These are good men and women. Good men and women. I want you to hear some of these bastards who attacked them. The Insurrection act sounds terrible, but it's not.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

What it means is there's an insurrection underway. Local police are not strong enough in.

[Mark Levin]

Numbers and so forth.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Or maybe they're. Their mayors are telling them not to intervene. State police, National Guard are not being called up by the governor to do what they're supposed to do. Or they're outnumbered. And so we have an insurrection act that is almost as old as the Republican. Has been used over 30 times by presidents of both parties.

[Mark Levin]

The Mark Levin show, live and national at 877-381-83811. The Insurrection Act. See, they're going to talk about it, talk about it, talk about it in a very negative way. And only Hitler and dictators use it, although a score of Presidents have used it from both parties. But no, no, no, no. See, people don't know history. They don't want to know history. If you listen to this program, you know every context, historical context, that exists, been used many times, and in cases a lot less violent and serious than this, this is an insurrection. These are insurrectionists. They are organized. Many of them are funded and put here by foreign governments when the borders were wide open. They're doing the. They're doing the work of foreign revolutionaries and so forth and so on, as well as domestic. That's what's going on. I want you to hear Josh Shapiro.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Who they say, oh, he's a moderate. Oh, he's the future. Oh, Kamala Harris should have picked him.

[Mark Levin]

This guy is not the future. He's a leftist. He's doing everything he can to kowtow to the Islamists and the radical wing of his party. He's not standing up to them. In fact, he's been funding Islamist institutions in Pennsylvania. Now, listen to this. Cut seven. Go.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Now, to try and make matters worse.

[Mark Meckler]

By invoking the Insurrection act is only going to make people less safe. Look, I know with this president, there's typically a whole lot of bluster. I tend to ignore the bluster and.

[Mark Levin]

Focus on what he actually does.

[Mark Meckler]

If he actually declares the Insurrection act to be the rule or the law, and then further undermines and erodes the.

[Mark Levin]

Trust of the people, in that case.

[Mark Meckler]

In Minnesota, it makes everyone across this country less safe.

[Mark Levin]

Okay, hold on. Does he speak for you folks? Are you on the side of the insurrectionists? Are you on the side of the illegal aliens? Are you on the side of the Islamists and the Marxists?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Are you on the side of law.

[Mark Levin]

Enforcement, the side of the American citizen.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

And so forth and so on.

[Mark Levin]

What kind of. Kind of bullcrap is this bluster? He says?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Does he listen to his own party? Does he listen to Walls Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries, Bernie Sanders bluster? This guy is not a leader. He's a quizzling. Cut eight, go.

[Mark Meckler]

I think what is very clear is that immigration policy did not work under the Biden administration, and it sure as.

[Mark Levin]

Hell isn't working under the Trump administration. Okay, hold on, hold on. Immigration policy under the Biden administration was to violate immigration policy. And what do you mean it's sure as hell not working under Trump, who has secured the border and is trying to remove illegal aliens. This is what I mean. This guy's a quisling. He's a nothing, a zippo, zero, nada. He's no, Fetterman. And by the way, they're gonna, they're gonna have primary against Fetterman. They're gonna primary him and we're gonna endorse him in the primary. We're gonna do everything unless it hurts him and it could. So we'll have to figure that out. But anyway, go ahead, be very clear.

[Mark Meckler]

We need a secure border, number one. Number two, we need a pathway for those who are here and who are following the law.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

They need to know the specifically, what does that mean?

[Mark Levin]

They're here illegally. They're not following the law. This guy is a double talk nothing burger.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

That's what he is.

[Mark Levin]

That's what he is.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

This guy grew up in Abington Township.

[Mark Levin]

Next to my township, Cheltenham Township, which was right outside of Philadelphia.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

He got elected as a state representative.

[Mark Levin]

In a marginally Democrat district at the time. Now it's heavy duty Democrat.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Then he gets elected a county commissioner.

[Mark Levin]

In Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. I feel like every state has a Montgomery County, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. And he's the chairman of the board of commissioners. There's three commissioners and there were two Democrats, one Republican. He was a Democrat, obviously, and he was the chairman.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Then he runs for attorney general, statewide office. He squeezes through and he gets it. Then his attorney generally runs for governor. The Republicans put up an idiot, a moron, and he blows that guy out and he becomes governor. Now he's presidential material.

[Mark Levin]

Why?

[Caller or Guest]

Why?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

What has he done? What has he said? Where does he want to take the country? Ladies and gentlemen, now is not a time, as Ronald Reagan said, for pale pastel colors. Not in the Democrat Party or the Republican Party. We have to know where these people stand. And firmly and firmly. The problem is we can't clean up both parties. We're not Democrats. But I had two men on my program Sunday on Life Liberty and Levin, who are Julian Epstein and Mark Penn. These are moderate Democrats who are trying to fight the wild radical elements. And we have radical elements in our party. And by God, let me be clear and say it right now. I cannot endorse anybody who embraces in the Republican Party Jew haters, anti Semites and bashes, Christian Zionists. Ain't gonna happen behind this microphone. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever. Let me be abundantly clear, Period. Don't sell out your own morals and ethics, your own belief system, your own faith, what your parents taught you and your grandparents taught you. For any politician, any politician, Democrat or Republican, period, It's the way it is. That really shouldn't be so hard. That really shouldn't Be so complicated. Should it? I don't care about polls and front runners and second runners and who's. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. See, unlike the Democrats, you, me, Mr. And Mrs. America, we have a belief system. It's not party first and country second. It's country first, period. And if we have a party or.

[Mark Levin]

Friends.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Who should be wearing white robes to better identify them, they're no longer friends and we don't want them in our party. Are you deplatforming people? Of course I am. People are deplatformed all the time. I'm de. Platformed. It's called making a choice, taking a stand, doing the right thing. Embracing your principles and your beliefs and your morals. We are no better than the other side if we refuse to speak out. It's that simple. This guy Josh Shapiro is an embarrassment. He's a marble mouth. This Gavin Newsom is a media whore. He's a chameleon. A complete failure as a governor. All the harm he's done in that state. People can't build their homes. Not enough water and fire hydrants, for God's sakes. And he wants to be president of our country. Listen to this idiot at a press conference today. Cut nine. Go.

[Mark Levin]

He is trying to stoke a civil war in this country. It is a disgrace what he's doing in Minneapolis. It is disgrace. First of all, it's not mini Inapolis, you mental midget. It's Minneapolis. Mr. Producer, you got to put that in the. In the collection. All right?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

What he's doing in mini Minneapolis.

[Mark Levin]

Go ahead, start from the top. He is trying to stoke a civil war in this country. It is a disgrace what he's doing in Minneapolis. It is a disgrace what he's doing all across the United States of America. And what is he doing?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

What is he doing? Stoke a civil war, you moron. You see, I have to be honest.

[Mark Levin]

It's true. I can sit down with these guys and have discussions. Oh, I can. I promise you, I can. Policy differences and speak to. But when I detest them. When I detest them, I just seek to impose them, that is, depose them and to defeat them. To ensure that people like this can never get elected beyond California ever again or even the first time. Everybody has their own way, and that's okay. I've been doing this a long time. Seems to be working out quite well. But when you're calling somebody a white supremacist who's trying to create a civil war and you've used other language even worse. Than that. And you're nothing.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Nothing.

[Mark Levin]

But a punk who gets elected in a one party state. Then you want to be president by using language like this. Trump's not trying to stoke a civil war. A civil war is being stoked by the Marxists, Islamists and the neo fascists. But for Trump, he's preventing it. And their propaganda gets worse and worse.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

He's Hitler, he's a dictator. Now he's trying to stoke a civil war. Let me ask you something, Mr. And Mrs. America. We American citizens, we're not the vast majority of us, we're not fighting ice, the radicals are. But you work for a living. You go to work every day, you're going to have the weekend, some of you work on the weekend. You want to raise your family, you want to put food on the table. You're an honorable citizen. You go to church, you go to synagogue, you go wherever you go or you don't. You want to make sure your kids have a good education, that you're protected in your neighborhood.

[Mark Levin]

That's what we want. It's called America. It's called America. What has this man done to the state of California? An entire community burns to the ground because they don't have water in their fire hydrants. Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

All the propaganda aside, the massive taxes.

[Mark Levin]

And regulations and environmental rules, the massive debt, they can't even make sure water comes out of a fire hydrant. We've been doing that for a hundred years. This is regressive. The society in California is imploding. Illegal aliens everywhere. Radical environmentalists control zoning, the supply of water, what kind of automobile you can have. The place is totally out of control, Totally under the control of the radical left, the Islamist Marxist left. And this guy talks about stoking a civil war.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

I know.

[Mark Levin]

They want us to just.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Get in.

[Mark Levin]

A fetal position and surrender. They want us to acquiesce. They try to beat us down, they try to beat down our institutions, to.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Beat out the men and women who have the guts to stand up to it. These are middle class men and women in ICE who have volunteered to try and save the country and now we're trashing them. These are middle class men and women who are our cops, who volunteered to protect us, who they trash the border patrol. Middle class men and women, mostly people of color, who they trash a President of the United States who's trying to get our economy kicking into gear, who is securing the border, who's trying to remove illegal aliens, who is trashed. We Have Supreme Court Justices Sam Alito, Clarence Thomas, others following the Constitution, who are trashed. But we, who are trying to preserve these institutions and traditions, who are trying to preserve our republic, we're instigating a civil war. We're authoritarian.

[Mark Levin]

These people are evil. They are loathsome. I'll be right back. We need to support ICE as we need to support our local police when they were under attack as well. We need to support our fellow citizens who get up every morning, or quite frankly, in the middle of the morning, put on their uniforms, leave their families, leave their homes, and know that they're going to walk into some kind of hell and that no matter what they do, they're going to be attacked by one political party. They're going to be attacked by these revolutionaries who are organized and funded in some cases by foreign governments, by NGOs, who are. Who are encouraged by the Democrat Party and the media.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

They know that they're going to be called names, that they could get injured, and that when they defend themselves that they're going to have to. God knows what. Their careers will be destroyed. We need to support the men and women of ice, the men and women of the Border Patrol, our police. We're going to lose everything. It's that simple. They represent a tiny percentage of the population. And what these Marxists, Islamists, what they have figured out a long time ago, what these foreign governments have figured out, what these NGOs and others have figured out, that if they can take them out, if you stop supporting them, they win. Then what? Then what? These people who put on these uniforms on our behalf to uphold the laws that our politicians passed, the ordinance that our politicians passed, the Constitution passed, that politicians have taken an oath to uphold. These are the men and women who defend it. Not the politicians, not the media. These are the people who defend it. These foreigners who come into our country, the good foreigners, they assimilate into our country. And there are many, they contribute to our country. It doesn't even occur to them to overthrow our country. But then the others who come here with a purpose and intent to destroy our country in a thousand different ways, in the culture, in our politics, in our media, they are to be condemned. If they are not citizens, they are being removed. If they got citizenship under false pretenses, we need to try and remove them. This administration is trying to do that. They are up against activist Democrat lawyers who become judges and the media, and unfortunately, a certain percentage of our population that is too damn stupid to know better. All right, I got a lot going on here. Stick with me.

[Mark Levin]

I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

A nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Leven. Hello, America. Mark Leven here. Friday evening.

[Mark Levin]

8773-813811-87733-813, 811. All right, now we turn to Iran. They're not hanging people publicly in Iran. Now, we don't know that for sure because the lights are out and all the communication platforms have been cut off, except for Al Jazeera, just so you know, that would be Qatar. But videos are getting out and I'm looking at them online right now. Let me be very clear about something as we sit here this evening getting ready to enjoy our weekend. Young people in Iran who were swept off the streets by the thousands are being executed. Several of them are being tortured and raped before they're being executed. Enormous number of executions are taking place. Do you know what Iran is today? It's a concentration camp. The whole country is a concentration camp. People are hiding in their homes. They're worried about a knock on the door. Scores are being settled. People are being forced to rat out other people. People being dragged out of their homes.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Dragged out of their automobiles and disappeared.

[Mark Levin]

As the Democrats like to say. Although you don't hear them talking very much about this, do you? Or if they talk, it's just that their mouth running. Our media is losing attention, has a very small attention span. Unless, of course, they're attacking you and me and our president. And that's exactly why that Islamist Nazi regime has turned the lights off.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Because, you see, if it's dark and you're not hearing the screams, then it.

[Mark Levin]

Must not be taking place. It's a concentration camp. The whole damn country. Now, we in the west can pretend it's not happening, pretend it's none of our business.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Those of you who do go to.

[Mark Levin]

Church or temple or have a belief system, you know it is our business. There's some places these things go on and we can't do a lot about it. Like the Uyghurs in China. We have there's nothing we can do, even though we wish we could. And here we can. We absolutely can. I want you to think about your own children. And they have big smiles on their face. I'm going to go out, dad, Mom.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

I'll be back soon.

[Mark Levin]

Maybe you go with them and you choose clothes or you're in the computer with them as they're choosing courses in college, or they're trying to decide whether they go to college.

[Mark Meckler]

Or.

[Mark Levin]

Maybe they work with you and you're teaching them how to be a plumber and electrician.

[Mark Meckler]

Or.

[Mark Levin]

Maybe you're going to watch the football games this weekend or my show this weekend. You'll do anything for your kids, won't you? Anything? Anything. Well, in other countries there are kids just like this young people. See, Iran is Persia prior to the Islamist revolution that took over that country at a point of a gun. The people in Persia were westernized, were highly educated. The Persian people were known for science, technology, all kinds of cultural advancements for thousands of years. Those young people are just like our young people. They want to see a movie, they want to go out with their friends. They want to go to the beauty parlor or have their hair done. They want to wear cool clothes. Maybe they want to go out and have a drink. Maybe they want to dance, listen to music. The young people in Iran want to do the same thing. They know all about it. They're not allowed to. A little over three years ago, there was a young lady, I believe she was about 16, She was walking down the street and she decided she was not going to cover her head. The Iranian regime's SS grabbed her off the street. People wondered what was happened, what happened to her. More and more people wondered what happened to that girl. She was tortured and raped and murdered. The young women in Iran rose up. They rose up. They took to the streets. They didn't have guns, they didn't have any weapons. And they led a huge protest. And it lasted days. And the United States did nothing. The thugs, their SS came in and started killing them, slaughtering them, imprisoning them, raping them. It's the benefits of working for a fundamentalist Islamist regime. Supposed to be very religious, don't you know? We did nothing. We watched issued statements, did news reports. We did nothing. Nothing. None of our business. Why do we care? The protests that have taken place in Iran this time were bigger than ever. And the people were encouraged to protest from Western capitals all over the world, including ours. Help was on the way. I pray to God that it is. I still believe that it is, But the intensity, the immediacy, the imperative nature in the west starts to ebb, doesn't it? You don't see a lot of it on the news right now, do you? Other talk show hosts aren't really talking about it, are they? Out of sight, out of mind. That's why the lights are off. That's why all communication except Al Jazeera has been cut. Those people are dying a horrendous death. I'm going to discuss at Lent tomorrow night on Life, Liberty and Levin. You know, ladies and gentlemen, about half of those who died fighting the Revolutionary War died on British prison ships. The conditions were horrendous. Horrendous. And they had a choice. Either turn against their country and join the British against the Revolution. Die a short death in the hull of a boat, a horrible death, or try to escape, at which point, if you were caught, they would hang you on the spot. The British were brutal. The French. Yes, the French. We talk about our relationship with the British. The French sent about 6,000 troops to help us fight the Revolutionary War. They had volunteers, some of their greatest military minds, including Lafayette, who fought throughout the Revolutionary War by Washington's side. And there were others, but the British, they won almost every battle. And yet the. The ability of Washington to outmaneuver them for us to survive was remarkable. It's a seven year war, a forever war, if you will. And I guess Washington was a neoc. But it all came down to one battle, Battle of Yorktown in Virginia. And there's a series of rivers and bays and even the Atlantic Ocean that are on the coast of, and the inner coast of Virginia. The British figured if they could get their fleet or fleets, they could get it off the coast of Yorktown, bombard the American and French forces and the British forces could squeeze them their so called infantry, that they would defeat the Americans once and for all. The French sent their navy, much of which is in the Caribbean, north. They sent their navy north, parked it right there on that river. In fact, they sent two fleets. The bulk of the French navy was sitting off the shore of Virginia. The British sent two fleets. Some of theirs were parked in the Caribbean. They sent them to New York and they came down to Virginia. There was a battle that took place before the battle of Yorktown where the French beat the British but didn't decisively eliminate their navy. The British navy went back up towards New York and the French navy sat on the coastline of Virginia to defend the American forces and their own soldiers who were assisting our soldiers and they bombarded the British, Washington, Lafayette. They charged and charged to the point where Cornwallis and his forces really had nowhere else to go. They would been wiped out, all 7,000 of them. And they surrendered. And that was effectively the end of the Revolutionary War and the beginning of what would become the United States of America. If we did not have the help of the French and I could explain another day and the Spanish, to some extent, there would be no America in our revolution. The people of Iran want nothing more or less than what we have. No, it's not our job to do this for every people all over the world. But where we can. We're not trying to instill a democracy. We're trying to protect a people who are being slaughtered. They're unarmed. They love Americans. They love the West. And this same regime hates us. Has tried to assassinate our president, Is funding terrorism in our country. Has warned that you took out our nuclear sites. But we're not done. You can't take the knowledge from us. They've killed about a thousand Americans over the course of a year backing Hezbollah and Hamas. They want to kill us. It's a quiet night out there, isn't it America? It's a beautiful night, isn't it? Unless you live in a concentration camp called Iran. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Mark Levin says today what the backbenchers will repeat tomorrow. Call Mark at 877-381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

Here's President Trump today outside the White House. Cut one, go.

[Caller or Guest]

You urged protesters in Iran earlier this.

[Mark Levin]

Week to keep fighting in the streets and said that help was on the way. Is help still on the way or.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Has your Bar, we're going to see, as you know, Iran canceled the hanging of over 800 people. They were going to hang over 800 people yesterday. And I greatly respect the fact that they canceled them election in Venezuela.

[Mark Levin]

Did Arab and Israeli officials convince you to not strike Iran? Nobody convinced me.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

I convinced myself. You had Yesterday scheduled over 800 hangings. They didn't hang anyone. They canceled the hangings. That had a big impact.

[Mark Levin]

Now, there's many ways to analyze this. Let me try this one. Donald Trump is a man of his word and he keeps his promises. That's what I believe. That's what I will continue to believe. Now, some people say, look at that. Tucker Carlson, a Jew hater, a Christian hater, an Islamist embracer, effectively a lobbyist for Qatar and Iran who befriends Putin. He's over there in the winehouse taking pictures in the Oval Office, ladies and gentlemen. Do you remember, Mr. Producer, before the President hit Iran's nuclear sites, he had Steve Bannon at the White House. Remember that? And in the Oval Office. And that was very public. And people figured out, you know, big fat fraudulent Bannon is in there. And of course, he's in my view, undermining the country every step of the way. And he didn't want us to hit the Iranian nuclear sites that might cause World War Three. Well, then he must be convincing President Trump. And shortly thereafter, President Trump ordered those sites to be hit. So I wouldn't read too much into this. I understand the, the refuse out there like his lap dog partner. What is this guy's name again? Patel. Neil Patel. They're sending pictures around him like he had recently a wedding. And there he is with the stupid look on his face and so forth.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Look at this. He's with the presidency, the President.

[Mark Levin]

He has no influence on the president. In my humble opinion. Everything he demands doesn't happen, does it? We shall see. But I don't much care if he's at the White House. He's in the doghouse, he's in the outhouse. He's a reprobate, he's a lowlife. It's irrelevant. What matters is what actions the President takes. I got to thinking the other day that these reports, they're all conflicting. They're all out there, so it's a lot of static. The Israelis said we're not ready to go and slowed us down. Now that would seem odd, wouldn't it, to you, Mr. Producer? Well, they were certainly ready after the 12 day war to finish off that regime because that regime had been defeated and their missiles had been depleted, but they've been building back their missiles. And so I got to thinking, maybe the Israelis don't have enough counter missiles left and they need a few more days or so to prepare for that. I don't know. I have no firsthand knowledge. But there's a lot of way to think about this. We've moved and are moving a ton of assets into that region. Maybe it's for show, maybe it's for real. I think it's for real. But it's what I think because I believe in the President and I believe what the President said. Now there's no reason to guess time will come. They were going to hang 800 people yesterday and they canceled that. They're shooting people in the back of the head. They're executing them, that's what they're doing. And they know that hangings can be public, that even, even under dark circumstances. And cutting off all communication. Maybe somebody will have an iPhone and take a picture of it. They're shooting people, murdering people. Young people mostly. And they basically have confessed, if I read correctly, about 15 minutes ago, that 23,000 people have died. I want you to take that in. Not in a two year war, a three year war. 23,000 innocent people have been murdered. 23,000, mostly young people. For what? For what? This is also a reason why our framers were so brilliant with the Second Amendment. The Democrats would remove the second Amendment. They would remove the first Amendment, the fourth, fifth, the eighth, ninth, ten. Listen, those amendments are there for a reason. For a reason, thank God. And look, these people are unarmed. I, I figure most of you in this audience wouldn't be here if we didn't agree on basics. On the basics. I must confess to you folks, I'm having a little trouble sleeping at night over this. I look at the faces of some of those who I saw in some of these videos and some of these pictures. Young people dead, their eyes wide open, staring, like they're staring into the eyes of the world, saying, where are you? How did you allow this to happen? Just snuffed out. No regard whatsoever for the human life. None in the name of religion. You know the sickening irony that that is. Many arguments could be made. Intellectualized ideologies. No, no, we're focus on the United States. I always find this odd. We spend trillions of dollars focusing on the United States. We are focused on the United States. Everything we do is about the United States. Iran is an enemy country. It's an enemy country as much as any other enemy country we've had throughout our history. It's killed a thousand Americans over the years. Ronald Reagan talked about and denounced this notion of Fortress America. When countries are trying to overthrow our country through immigration, through the stealing of our technology and our intelligence, by attacking our allies and undermining our alliances, by trying to post military bases in parts of the world where they can cut us off. Fortress America doesn't work. Fortress America. Look at the enemy within, the Islamists, many of whom imported into the country recently the billions that are pouring in from Qatar and communist China and Iran and other countries. Fortress America. We couldn't have a Fortress America if we wanted to have a Fortress America. The country's being destroyed from within by many powers that are outside of the country. And so we have fools who just.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Like to use slogans. Focus on us. What about us? This is about us. All of it. There can be good decisions and bad decisions, prudential decisions and emotional decisions. That's a different debate. But foreign policy is not about ideology. Foreign policy, as I say over and over again and I've written, is about prudence.

[Mark Levin]

Situations have to be analyzed based on.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

The facts of the given situation.

[Mark Levin]

Yes, everything doesn't come down to a slogan. The Marxists use slogans. And now we're going to use slogans. No, we're not. I'll be right back.

He's very generous with his Time as Sean, but given the circumstances of events and so forth, I've just decided to add that to the list. So I hope you'll join us. We're going to have as a guest next hour, very important, our friend Mark Meckler. He's become a media maven too, but I want to focus on his role leading the convention of States, which, as you know, has been very important to me for a very, very long time. When I wrote the Liberty Amendments, he had been just started this organization. We had not communicated with each other about it. We didn't know about it. I had originally opposed Article 5 conventions, as did Mark. And when you actually study it, rather than just shoot from the hip, as he did and I did again simultaneously, without talking to each other, I became a strong advocate for this, as has he. Obviously, he's spending a good chunk of his life devoted to it and I spent a chunk of mine writing about it. Convention of states, very important, just like these other activist things that we want to do. They're very, very important. The President, let's see. Just bear with me a second here about the Insurrection act that we've been talking about earlier. Should he use it? Shouldn't he use it? Well, he's certainly free to use it. It's been used many, many times in our history for circumstances that are not nearly as violent as this. Here he was today. Cut six, go. The trigger for the Insurrection act in Minnesota.

[Mark Meckler]

What are you waiting for?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Well, the Insurrection act, which has been used by 48% of the President as of this moment. The Insurrection act also, if you look at it, I believe it was Bush, the elder Bush. He used it, I think, 28 times. It's been used a lot and if I needed it, I'd use it. I don't think there's any reason right now to use it, but if I needed it, I'd use it. It's very powerful.

[Mark Levin]

President's right. Half the presidents have used it. The last time it was used, it was by Bush. And it's been used about 30 times. But they're going to make it like, you know, it's the first time he wants a civil war.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

If he would just.

[Mark Levin]

If he would just abandon the enforcement of our immigration laws, just embrace all these wonderful new people, the Islamists and the Marxists. If he would just allow we Democrats.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

To take over the country for good.

[Mark Levin]

And destroy it like we've destroyed California and other, other cities and states, if.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

He would just get out of the way, we'd be perfectly fine.

[Mark Levin]

No we wouldn't be a disaster. Wolf BLITZER To Trish McLaughlin, the DHS assistant secretary on CNN. I honestly don't know why people go on CNN. I really. They have no audience. Literally puny, puny size audiences. But there we are. Cut 12 go.

[Mark Meckler]

When she called this 37 year old.

[Mark Levin]

Mother of three who was driving that.

[Mark Meckler]

Car a domestic terrorist that really was outrageous.

[Mark Levin]

We say it was an act of domestic terrorism. In no way is outrageous. What we saw on the ground there.

[Caller or Guest]

She had been stalking and harassing law enforcement throughout the morning and then she went on to use her car as a deadly weapon. That's not.

[Mark Levin]

She's driving by after dropping off a.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Little six year old boy.

[Mark Levin]

That's just simply not true. I have the fact that facts on the ground, you see the, the media are going to continue with the propaganda no matter what. She just dropping off her say she was one of the leaders of this movement. Folks have been reading about it in the media, other media in the New York Post and other and other outlets and she was egged on by her wife. She was very aggressive about how she was conducting herself. Look, it's a horrible, horrible thing when somebody's shot. I got it. I'm not one of those who celebrates this. She was not a terrorist but she committed an offense, a crime by doing what she did with her car, hitting that agent. When you do things like that, you put yourself in harm's way because believe it or not, law enforcement has a right to defend itself too. It's not just there to be a pinata for the crazies. And I'm not going to speak badly of her. She's dead and gone but the record is there. And the fact that she dropped off her six year old boy and then went to that event, that's on her, that's not on the ice agent.

[Mark Meckler]

Who.

[Mark Levin]

Was hit by her car. And let me be clear about something. If he hadn't gotten out of the way he might have been run over by her car as I looked at these videos. But it shouldn't even be that close of a call. Would he have been or wouldn't he have been? Whenever I'm stopped by a police officer they're always right by the way. And I'm not saying they are with you. They are with me. It's for speeding and it hasn't been lately. And I'll say you're right. What's the ticket? I shouldn't have done it. And you know what? When you do that Mr. Buddha, they're as nice as can be and they try to help you out.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

But if you go to an event.

[Mark Levin]

For the purpose of obstructing law enforcement and you drive your car into that event and you do it in a way she did it, then something terrible may happen. And it did. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Of a nondescript building. We've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America.

[Mark Levin]

Mark Levin Here, our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-38111. Number 17, Mr. Producer. You know, Obama, Bill Clinton, Schumer, Pelosi, there was a time where they all wanted to remove illegal aliens, but they've decided now that that is their core constituency and they've thrown in with the Marxist Islamists. People talk about the base of the party being radical. As I've explained now for a long time, it's not the base of the party, it's the entire party. With a few exceptions, this is what the party stands for.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Now.

[Mark Levin]

The Democrat party has been conquered and so Democrat cities and towns are being conquered. From Fox Business hat tip cut 17, go.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

And as long as the current laws are on the books, it's not just hardened felons who are subject to removal, but sometimes families who are just trying.

[Mark Meckler]

To earn a living.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

And sometimes when I talk to immigration advocates, you know, they wish I could just bypass Congress and change the the law myself. But that's not how democracy works. To the undocumented workers, you have to say, look, you've broken the law. You didn't come here the way you were supposed to. So this is not going to be a Free ride.

[Mark Levin]

We must continue to do everything we can to strengthen our borders, enforce our laws and remove illegal aliens from our country. Whether they're innocent or guilty of the crimes they're charged with in court, they're still here illegally and they should be sent out of the country.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. People who enter the United States without.

[Mark Levin]

Our permission are illegal aliens. Democrats support also enforcing laws, current laws against those who came here illegally. And we can do this all night. That's where they used to stand. Harry Reid went on and on, almost all Democrats. Did you know my book Liberty and Tyranny have a chapter on immigration. People are still reading that book, including people on TV and radio, and they've gone to that chapter. When you read that chapter, I put some basic factual information and history in there. You remember Walter Mondale? He ran against Reagan in 84 and got slaughtered. But he was a left wing Democrat with the Democrat Farm Party or whatever they called it, Farm Labor Party in Minnesota. There was also Ralph Abernathy, who was the right hand man to Martin Luther King and he took over the organization after his King's assassination. And there was Cesar Chavez, who led the Farm Workers Union, California and elsewhere, because he believed that American citizen, Mexicans in particular, but Hispanics generally should be represented. And he was very much a leader against illegal immigrants coming across the border. He said that Big Agra was doing that in order to undermine the organizing of American citizens who were working in the fields. Obviously, the entire ideology of that party has been turned on its head.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

But.

[Mark Levin]

They used to, that is, Chavez used to lead efforts on the border to contact what was then ins, the Immigration Naturalization Service, to identify illegal aliens who are coming across the border. He called them wetbacks. He did not me, he. Which of course is derogatory. And everything changed in 1965 with the Hart Celler act, where the basis for immigration and who comes into the country was turned on its head during the Great Society. Not a lot of attention was paid to it. And there was a famous author, Teddy White, and Teddy White would write a book after every presidential election on the presidential election. And he was quite liberal. He was a Democrat, but quote, unquote, an author and a journalist. And as I quoted in my book, he said it was one of the dumbest things that was ever done and really without the notice of the American people. And that changed the legal immigration process that we're living with now, but even now we don't comply with that. Except under Trump. We didn't with Biden or Obama, and to some extent with Bush. They even violate that law. And the rest of the laws that followed him were codified. Now we've reached a point of a five alarm fire, the border wide open of a five alarm fire, when anybody's free to come in and it becomes almost impossible to remove them because of what the left has done, what their judges have done, what their bureaucrats have done. And so now when you're trying to stop this, you have people like Jamie Raskin, who was on msn. Now today, looks like ICE is recruiting white supremacists. ICE is recruiting white supremacists when about half of them are quote unquote, people of color. Now you're white supremacist. You see, ladies and gentlemen, anybody who stands up for the country in uniform on the civilian side is subject to this kind of agitprop, Communist agitprop. Raskin is a communist. His father was a communist. His father founded the Institute for Policy Studies. Communist, sympathetic towards Stalin. It got so bad that even the Democrat administrations of Lyndon Johnson and others distanced themselves from his father, from his father. But Raskin's now in the middle of everything. He's embraced by all elements of the Democrat Party and the media. The media keep promoting him. They promote him on cnn, on Ms. Now and all the networks without telling you who he is, his parentage and his ideology. We get this all the time. Same with Bernie Sanders, a Stalinist. Same with aoc, a Marxist. They never mention it. Omar's all over tv. They don't tell you that she's an Islamist. Taliban is a radical Islamist who supports Hamas. They don't tell you these things. And then they create caricatures of people who are not what they say. White supremacists, dictators, Hitler, neo Nazis and all the rest of it. I'm not going to play the entire part of this, but here's Jamie Raskin on Ms. Now. Hat tip, Breitbart, Katuani, go. Do you think the Department of Homeland Security, this is a guy named Chris Hayes. I'll, I'll take a pass. Go ahead. To recruit extremists with far right ideologies, white supremacists, Nazis and alike, into the dhs. So listen, listen to this moron. I'll say what I wanted to say. This guy looks like a sicko to me. Looks like a beady eyed sicko. And so he asks a question, he makes a statement and puts a question mark after it. Raises his volume in a way that it makes it sound like a question. But it's not a question. What he's saying is Homeland Security is recruiting far right ideologues, white supremacists, Nazis and the like. What a sick bastard. Go ahead. Well, we don't know for sure but.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

It certainly looks like it. Chris, look, they've added a $50,000 sign on bonus for people going to work at ICE. They have dramatically cut the training requirements.

[Mark Levin]

All right, hold on. They've not cut the training requirements. They've changed the training processes, they've updated it to online among other things. So they haven't cut the training process. So they want you to think these are incompetents, these people are not well trained and basically it's the Klan. Isn't that sick. I'll be right back. Mud lovin.

[Mark Meckler]

Well, the holidays have come and gone once again. But if you've forgotten to get that special someone in your life a gift. Well, Mint Mobile is extending their holiday offer of half off unlimited wireless.

[Mark Levin]

So here's the idea.

[Mark Meckler]

You get it now, you call it an early present for next year.

[Mark Levin]

What do you have to lose?

[Mark Meckler]

Give it a [e-mail] Switch limited time.

[Caller or Guest]

50% off regular price for new customers. Upfront payment required $45 for three months.

[Mark Levin]

$90 for six month or $180 for.

[Caller or Guest]

12 month plan taxes and fees.

[Mark Levin]

Extra speeds may slow after 50 gigabytes.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Per month when network is busy.

[Mark Levin]

See terms. You know there patriots out there and one of the great patriots is my friend Mark Meckler. He runs convention of states among other things these days. It's a pleasure to have you my friend. It's been a long time. I understand something is percolating, is that correct?

[Mark Meckler]

There's a lot of stuff percolating Mark. There always is. But I think this is going to be a huge banner year for convention of states. And I think up first we've got the state of Kansas. I don't know the exact date they're going to do it but we are on the precipice of passing Kansas. That's number 20. The reason I know it's going to happen is because we had a litigation. The district court declared that they had a constitutional requirement which was a 2/3 requirement instead of a normal super majority. District court declared that was in violation of the supremacy clause. So now we have a simple majority requirement. We have way more votes than that. So I expect to see it up. It could be next week, could be the following week. It's literally any day. That means Kansas will become state number 20 and that's a big marker for us.

[Mark Levin]

It's a big marker. How many do we need?

[Mark Meckler]

So that would be 14 left to go. We need a total of 34.

[Mark Levin]

It really is the only way out of this, isn't it? And it's been demonstrated because President Trump has thrown everything he can at this leviathan to defend the Constitution, and then in three years, he has to leave office. And there's so much more to do, isn't there?

[Mark Meckler]

There's so much more to do. And also, Mark, and I think this is really important for patriots, your listeners, to realize that a lot of the great things that Donald Trump is doing and will continue to do over the next three years can be reversed by a Democrat administration. And will. We've seen this. They will be reversed in the first five minutes of the next Democrat administration. So a lot of this stuff we need to ensconce in the Constitution and make sure that it's permanent.

[Mark Levin]

Not to put you on the spot, I don't think I am. You and I talk offline. You're very concerned about the growing anti Semitism, the growing trashing of Christians, the growing embrace of Islamism and the rest, aren't you?

[Mark Meckler]

Man, I'm so glad you brought this up, Mark. I mean, I do love to talk about convention estates, and that's my life's work. But if we don't stop this other stuff, we're going to lose the country and the world, to be honest with you. And I'm very concerned. And there are people that I used to consider friends, people like Tucker Carlson, who are out there spreading the most vile kinds of antisemitism. Mark, I just never expected to see this in, in my entire lifetime. I grew up Jewish in Los Angeles, and I never really experienced any serious kind of anti Semitism. I never expected in my entire lifetime, 63 years old, that I'd see the kind of heinous stuff that I'm seeing put out right now by the likes of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes. I mean, that's the evil trio going right now, it seems.

[Mark Levin]

I mean, you and I, we take people for what they are. We deal with people. We're in the conservative movement. It's a, it's a, it's a principled moral movement. We embrace faith in God and so forth and so on. Tucker Carlson was never involved in that. Candace Owens was never involved in that. Megyn Kelly was. None of these people were ever involved in dealing with the grassroots activism, trying to get these things done for the benefit of all the people of this country, they weren't involved in any of it, were they?

[Mark Meckler]

No, they weren't involved in any of it. They're, you know, they're. This is where I think you're entirely unique, Mark. I mean, you've been deep in the political process. Obviously, you worked in the White House. You've written books about this, you've thought about it, you've been in the fight. You stand side by side with the grassroots. All these folks are just vacuous talking heads, in my opinion. Tucker Carlson, if you look at his background, he comes from a liberal background, you know, highly educated, very wealthy family. Candace Owens, in my opinion at this point, I mean, I would have said she's a grifter. Now I think she's an insane grifter. I've known Candace for a long time, going back to her earliest days with TP usa, before anybody knew who she was. And I will tell you, even back then, I had very, very bad experiences with her. You know, I looked at her, I said, she's really talented. She's very charismatic. She's going to be famous. Patty and I reached out, tried to help her. Honestly, it was like the rattlesnake in the jar. Anybody who gets close to her ultimately ends up getting bit. She's just a very bad person. And Megyn Kelly, I just think she's always been a liberal. I think she's played whatever role she's had to play to fit in, wherever she's fit in, whether that was at Fox or at NBC or whatever, ultimately she gets exposed because I don't believe that there's actually any. There.

[Mark Levin]

There.

[Mark Meckler]

There is no principle.

[Mark Levin]

What do you think this can possibly do in the midterm elections? I'm very worried. Not that they have this massive influence, but it doesn't take much, does it?

[Mark Meckler]

No. And I think they can peel off a percentage of the conservative movement. I'm actually, Mark, more hopeful right now than I've been in the last six months because I see a lot of people starting to turn on them. And can can Megan and Tucker, the three main influences we're talking about here, are becoming more and more insane. I mean, lately I'm seeing Alex Jones saying how insane Candace is. That's quite a thing if you can go too far for Alex Jones. And so I do think we're turning the page. And I have a lot of people who had been paying attention to Candace now telling me she's nuts. And so I am hopeful that we're going to recover from this. This is like a virus that has swept through a part of the conservative movement. And I think we're sort of building up an immunity to it, and I think we're going to see it put out.

[Mark Levin]

Now, if people want to continue to support as we do, I do the Convention of States movement in Kansas. Where do they go?

[Mark Meckler]

They go to Convention of states dot com. They can sign up there. By the way, Mark, I think on the heels of Kansas, we're going to see South Dakota, North Carolina, potentially Ohio, Iowa, Idaho. There's a lot of stuff in play. The President has posted about Convention of States, thereby expressing his support. I think we're going to see even more of that. And I know you're very close to the President.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

President.

[Mark Meckler]

And so obviously you chatting with him, he knows that you support it, and obviously that means a lot to him. So I think with the President kind of on board and getting more on board, I think we're going to see a lot of these states pass. But if people want to be involved in that, they can go to convention of states.com they can sign the petition. More importantly, they can click on that Take action tab when they do that, that allows them to actually volunteer and get involved and actually be in the fight like you and I have been for so long.

[Mark Levin]

A great patriot, Meckler. You really are. The organization is fantastic. You have what, like 5 million members, give or take?

[Mark Meckler]

Yeah, I think we're pushing towards 6 million now.

[Caller or Guest]

Mm.

[Mark Levin]

It is a massive movement. You don't get any government money. And yet here we may have state number 20, and you've just listed four more that we really need to focus on. And as we get closer and closer and closer to the number, you and the movement are going to come under vicious, vile attack. We've already seen some of that, haven't we?

[Mark Meckler]

Yeah. I mean, we've had attack pieces in the Atlantic and New Yorker magazine and Mother Jones and all kinds of places. I'll be getting calls this week from the New York Times. And, you know, I hope people understand when I get calls from places like that, and I know you look at it the same way, I don't respond. They are our enemies. They hate us. They're never going to write anything nice about us. So I just ignore them. So, you know, if you see me quoted in there, and the only quote is going to be that they reached out to me for comment and I didn't respond because those are our enemies and they're going to hit us harder and harder. Mark, every single left wing group in the United States of America, major left wing group, signed a press release against us organized by common cause, over 250 of them. That's La Raza, Planned Parenthood, MoveOn.org, you name it. Hillary Clinton personally has spoken out against us. So, yeah, we expect the attacks to continue and we just consider it the greatest badge of honor. You can judge a person and an organization by their enemies.

[Mark Levin]

Definitely, you're right. BBC contacted us, wanted to interview me. I said go to hell. All right, Mark Meckler, you're a good.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Man and God bless you. You need anything from us, you need.

[Mark Levin]

Some air cover next week or whatever, you let me know, okay?

[Mark Meckler]

All right. Thanks, Mark.

[Mark Levin]

God bless and you too, good man. He's just the best. We'll be right back. It's back. Hey, it's Dan Bongino. I've got some big news for you. Starting February 2nd, the show is back. That's right, the Dan Bongino show is relaunching and we're going bigger than ever. Join me live on rumble.com Monday through Friday, 10am to noon Eastern.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Call in now. 877-3813-8111.

[Mark Levin]

Mark Meckler's class act, isn't he? Let's go to Ray. Grand Prairie, Texas, not too far from.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Dallas, the great wbap.

[Mark Levin]

How are you?

[Caller or Guest]

Hi, thank you, sir. I just had two comments. One of them, one of them is about the community center, the Muslim community.

[Mark Levin]

Center employment that's being built not too far from you.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Right?

[Caller or Guest]

That's they just okayed if they have proof that they're going to use city electric and water waste services and I guess the community can continue being built. But I don't understand why they're defending this from happening in the first place. Why doesn't somebody stand up and say, this is our country, not yours. You can't chisel out a portion of our land and exclude our citizens.

[Mark Levin]

Well, because we have a problem here and we're a free country and these people are taking advantage of it. They can buy land. They look at our First Amendment, the free exercise of religion, and they say, hey, we're exercising our religion. But the fact is that these entities are bigots. They are religious racists. They are Segregationists, because they do not want any, you know, integration. And so I've got to believe there's some good lawyers in some of these foundational groups that we'll take a look at this and see if there's something they can do about it. But I know people have raised it. I've raised it here because it was brought to my attention by, I think it was a police officer, and I know the governor has raised it, but they're going to have to put their heads together and figure out if there's some way to deal with this, because we can't have these pockets of Islamists who have as their goal not only to segregate from the greater community, they can obviously practice their faith. But as Zudi Jasser points out, this is political Islam. That is their goal, is to conquer the country and to destroy the other faiths. And so that is a big problem. You had a second question?

[Caller or Guest]

I had a man across the street many, many years ago who was Islamic, and I asked him what they believed in. And he says that anybody who doesn't believe in Allah, they were supposed to kill them. It was an infidel, and I wasn't sure what an infidel was. I said, I believe in God and Jesus. Does that make me an infidel? And he said, yes. And his religion thought that they.

[Mark Levin]

So why come to the United States, a majority Christian nation based on Judeo Christian principle, why come here then? If your goal is to conquer the founding values and belief systems of the country, and that's why you don't open a border and allow anybody in unless they are vetted, unless they can be assimilated into the culture and society, and unless they can contribute to the society as opposed to destroying it. Thank you for your call, Ray. We'll stay in Texas. Tim, Fort Worth, the great wbap, how are you? He hung up. Anybody else hang up. Before I go, let's go to Jerry. Cherry Hill, New Jersey.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

How are you, Jerry?

[Caller or Guest]

Hi, Mark. How are you doing?

[Mark Levin]

Okay.

[Caller or Guest]

Mark, I want to touch upon something you just said. Actually, you know, if we just enforced the immigration law as it stands, where you have to give the oath of allegiance, undivided loyalty to the U.S. constitution and to the United States of America. We would not allow in so many people that have been allowed in. Forget about the people that come across the border. That's a given. They should never have been allowed to.

[Mark Levin]

Come across the border.

[Caller or Guest]

Obviously, it's illegal. But even the legal immigration, if we applied our laws correctly, people, many from the Muslim countries would be totally incompatible, and it couldn't possibly be credible in taking that oath.

[Mark Levin]

And you are 100% correct. 100% correct.

[Caller or Guest]

And therein lies the problem.

[Mark Levin]

If you want to come into this country and you don't have allegiance to this country and you don't agree with assimilation into our culture, then you're not supposed to come into the country and you cannot improve the country. And here we are. And the Democrats don't care. In fact, they prefer the process the way it is right now because they don't embrace the country. And by the way, when I say Democrats, many of you listening are Democrats. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the people that run your party, the people who run our schools, the people that run your PACs.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

They're quite different than the plumber, than.

[Mark Levin]

The copy, and so forth and so on, many of whom really shouldn't be Democrats anymore. All right, Tim, thank you for your call. Good call. All right, should we do another Texas? Got a lot of Texas.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Donna. Mount Pleasant, Texas, XM Satellite.

[Mark Levin]

How are you?

[Caller or Guest]

I'm fine, Mark. How are you doing tonight?

[Mark Levin]

I'm doing great, thank you.

[Caller or Guest]

Well, I have called to thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you so many times over for being so passionate tonight and teaching us what is going on. And I can't. I don't know how other words to put it, but so many Americans need to be talked to like this right now because it's getting so bad. And we so appreciate you out here.

[Mark Levin]

You just don't know.

[Caller or Guest]

I don't think you. I really don't think you realize how important you are right now to be telling the truth. So plain and simple, and I'm like you. I haven't been able to sleep when you said that earlier this evening. I'm just. The things that are happening now. I understand now how my mother and all her family sat around the radio listening before World War II about listening to Hitler and all the things he was saying and what was starting to happen to the world back then. And right now. It really makes you see. It really makes you see what they live through.

[Mark Levin]

Well, you're something else. You're great. Mount Pleasant, where is that? I'm sorry, what's that near?

[Caller or Guest]

We're in northeast Texas, kind of. Kind of along i30 that goes into Arkansas. Up in that area. We're in the piney woods here in Northeast Texas. Very pretty.

[Mark Levin]

Very pretty. You're almost there in Tom Cotton country. There's a great senator right there. Well, Donna, thank you very, very much. You got a great one too in Ted Cruz and you're welcome here anytime. Beautiful call. I appreciate it very much.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Can we go to Aaron, Commerce City.

[Mark Levin]

Colorado on the Mark Levin app? Aaron, how are you?

[Caller or Guest]

I am doing fine. It's a great privilege, Mark.

[Mark Levin]

Likewise. Thank you.

[Caller or Guest]

I'm, I'm just a lowly Marine Corps sergeant. I feel like I given been given audience to the commandant of the Marine Corps.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

I got.

[Mark Levin]

No, no, you're the hero, brother. I'm just talking.

[Caller or Guest]

But I just wanted to talk about what's going on in Venezuela and Iran. And I think back to our founders and the Declaration of Independence and how they talked about inalienable rights. And it's a basic human condition to yearn to achieve those rights. And that's what those people are doing. And I thank God for great leaders like President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu that listen to those people and are willing to help them achieve those rights. And I believe that we are on the cusp of the greatest liberation event since Ronald Reagan and the fall of the Soviet Union. The dictators are on the run. They know that they have an adversary that is going to fight for the people and their desire to be free.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, I, I am so proud that you called. Number one, you're a Marine, so that's just fantastic. And number two, what a great American. I agree with you 100%. The things that you said are so right on and I appreciate it. In fact, I appreciate all the callers this evening. They've been fantastic. We'll be right back. Don't forget 9:00pm Eastern. Hannity, I will be on tonight. I hope you will join us. And I appreciate all of you out there. It's Friday and I wish you safety and happiness and some joy in your life, of course. Let's go to Tim, Fort Worth, Texas. Got a lot of Texas, the great wbap. How are you?

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

Hey, terrific, Mark. Hey, just want to thank you and.

[Caller or Guest]

Encourage you for being such a beacon of light for the moral authority going on with the atrocities in Tehran. It's horrible. I appreciate your stance.

[Mark Levin]

Well, I appreciate Marine.

[Caller or Guest]

That just summed up everything I wanted to say. He couldn't have said it better.

[Mark Levin]

Well, there are forces. There are forces, Tim, including these neo fascists I talk about who are doing everything they can to try and convince the commander in chief and everybody else to stay out of this. They spent a lot of time with Qatar and Russia and interviewing the president of Iran. You know, I never thought I'd see anything like this in my life. I mean, I heard about people in the 30s and 40s, but if these aren't turncoats, if these aren't people who should be shamed, then I don't know what they are. Do you?

[Caller or Guest]

No. Well, we know what they are. But it's wild times that we live in, Mark, as you know.

[Mark Levin]

It really is. Well, I'm going to try on Hannity's show tonight to send a message to that audience. You know, other people who may watch the program who may not be listening to radio. We'll see how it goes. We'll be there in minutes on fox. Hope to see you there. We go to America every Friday in honor of you.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

The week is officially over. The weekend begins now. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, the men and women in Ukraine, the men and women in Israel, the men and women in Iran. That's right. And you, the greatest people on the.

[Mark Levin (Producer or Co-host)]

See you tomorrow night on fox. God bless.
