Overview

This episode centers on what Mark Levin characterizes as "America’s Immigration Battle," with an intense focus on the aftermath of a deadly ICE protest in Minnesota, broad issues of sanctuary cities, the constitutionality of immigration enforcement, and harsh criticism of both Democrat and (some) Republican politicians. Levin links recent events to broader concerns about the undermining of law enforcement, the U.S. Constitution, and national identity. The podcast also features calls from several listeners—liberals and leftists—whom Levin challenges on their views about America.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Frustration with Immigration Policy and Law Enforcement Opposition

• Levin expresses deep frustration with the lack of action on both national debt and especially immigration enforcement.
• He claims that left-wing organizations, politicians, and mayors/govs are “gaslighting” the public, undermining law enforcement, and creating unsafe environments.
• Point-by-point, he reviews what he views as the legal and moral obligations of citizens and leaders in the face of illegal immigration and law enforcement actions.
• He states federal law is clear, emphasizing that “the federal government has plenary power over immigration. It’s right there in the Constitution.” [10:40]
• Denounces sanctuary cities/states, calling them unlawful nullification and branding them as using “the same arguments used by the Confederate Democrats.” [08:20]

2. Critique of Political and Media Responses

• Levin accuses Democrats of enabling illegal immigration for political gain — to increase census representation and Electoral College votes.
• He asserts preventing deportation of illegal immigrants is part two of a deliberate Democrat strategy: “First, wide open borders, then ending deportations. This is, as I’ve said many times, revolution by immigration.” [11:40]
• Expresses that Democrat officials are more loyal to party than country and accuses them of projecting blame onto Republicans.
• Asserts that “the mob moves in one direction” and criticizes media for double standards (i.e., downplaying crimes by illegal aliens but focusing on incidents involving enforcement).
• “You did not see 1% of the outrage from the Democrats or their media when American citizens were murdered by illegal aliens. Where was the coverage?” [12:35]
• Directly challenges Democratic leaders: “...protecting illegal aliens and criminals, not you, Mr. And Mrs. America.” [06:40]

3. Legal and Practical Guidance for Citizens at Protests

• Strongly advises listeners: Do not bring firearms to protests, particularly those aimed at obstructing law enforcement—frames this not as a Second Amendment issue, but as a matter of judgment and legality. [04:50, 57:00]
• “Do not interfere with law enforcement...doing so is a crime. It has nothing to do with the First Amendment, free speech or the freedom of association.” [05:30]

4. Listener Call-In Segments: Debating Liberals/Leftists

• Levin invites left-leaning callers to express “what they love about America.” These segments include:
  • A self-identified leftist real estate broker, whom Levin debates about capitalism, Marxism, and what constitutes love of country. Levin challenges the caller’s definition of leftism and repeatedly presses for specifics, arguing, “What do you love about America? Not your right to protest—the country itself?” [44:05–48:00]
  • Shane from Kansas, a self-described liberal truck driver, who says he loves the Constitution. Levin tells him, “You’re not a liberal, you just don’t know it.” [53:10–60:00]
  • A leftist from Ann Arbor, MI, argues it’s reasonable to show up armed at protests. Levin firmly disagrees, calling it “dumb.” [86:59–88:07]
  • A leftist from Palm Springs, CA, tries to compare the ICE shooting incident with Kyle Rittenhouse and Waco, but Levin claims the comparisons are specious and the caller lacks focus. [100:19–104:00]

5. Broader Themes: Islamism, Marxism, and Threats to American Identity

• Drawing heavily on Christopher Hitchens’ warnings, Levin insists that both Marxist and Islamist influences are entwined in current American politics and warn listeners to “resist it while you still can.” [38:00–39:30]
• References to increasing Islamist presence and activism—Levin links it directly to leftist politics and claims “the overwhelming majority of Islamists vote Democrat, and that’s the way the Democrat party wants it.” [39:44]
• Uses Holocaust Remembrance Day (Jan 27) to discuss historical lessons about totalitarianism, anti-Semitism, and the need for vigilance.

6. Iran, International Atrocities, and American Responsibility

• Shifts to foreign affairs, especially the violence in Iran, lamenting media and political silence on the regime’s atrocities.
• Urges U.S. action against the Iranian regime, linking inaction to broader reluctance to confront evil: “If an Islamo Nazi fundamentalist regime is willing to kill 100,000, 200,000, a quarter million of its own people, do you think it’s going to hesitate…to fire a nuclear weapon on the east coast of America?” [72:36–75:45]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On Immigration Law & Sanctuary States

“Sanctuary states and cities are violating the federal Constitution. This is not about federalism. The federal government has plenary power over immigration. It’s right there in the Constitution. It has always, and that is as the framers intended.”
— Mark Levin [10:40]

On Democrat Party Strategy

“For the Democrat Party, the party is more important than the country. Which is why you see the fusion of the Democrat Party with the socialist and communist organizations that are behind these violent confrontations with ICE.”
— Mark Levin [11:55]

On Citizen Conduct at Protests

“Do not arm yourself with a gun and ammunition… when going to any protest… This is not a Second Amendment issue. How you conduct yourself with a gun or a car matters.”
— Mark Levin [04:50]

On Double Standards & Media Coverage

“You did not see 1% of the outrage from the Democrats or their media when American citizens were murdered by illegal aliens. Where was the coverage?…But the names of those who are murdered by illegal aliens, not just two, but scores and scores. Their names are not known or quickly forgotten.”
— Mark Levin [12:35]

On Leftist Callers Defining Love of Country

“What do you love about the country? We have Shane in Kansas City…
Shane: 'I love the Constitution.'
Mark: 'So you love limited government, is that correct?'
Shane: 'Absolutely.'
Mark: 'So you’re not a liberal. Did you know that, Shane?'”
[53:10–56:15]

On Ideological Drift in the West

“This is very urgent business, ladies and gentlemen. I beseech you, resist it while you still can, and before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing…”
— Christopher Hitchens (audio clip, as introduced by Mark Levin) [38:00]

On Iran and Foreign Atrocities

“I am worried… If we were fighting Communist China and we were fighting a real army, would it take us this long to get our assets in place? The Iranian regime has never been weaker, never—militarily, economically…”
— Mark Levin [72:36]

Tone & Style Notes

• Direct, combative, unapologetically partisan: Levin repeatedly says things others “won’t,” aggressively interrupts or redirects callers, and delivers rapid-fire critiques rooted in constitutional law.
• Heavy use of rhetorical questions and legal-historical references.
• Personal: draws on memory of conservative thought leaders, current events, and faith.
• Mixes references to current news, law, and recent history to make broader ideological points.

---

Summary Takeaways

• Levin sees the immigration debate as existential—about national sovereignty, law, and American identity—not merely policy.
• His position is that Democratic leaders, through sanctuary policies and media complicity, are deliberately undermining the rule of law, enabling criminality, and using immigration to secure political dominance.
• Levin’s exchanges with left-leaning callers are intended to expose (what he sees as) the hollowness of leftist patriotism and the practical contradictions of their positions.
• He warns of a convergence between Marxist and Islamist threats to American values, drawing historical parallels and invoking both constitutional principles and Holocaust remembrance as cautionary lessons.
• In sum: This is a polemical, passionate exhortation to resist what Levin characterizes as an orchestrated attack on American law, culture, and safety—from within and without.

Transcript

[A]

Folks, this is Mark Levin, America. Does anybody really believe that Washington, especially Congress, is going to reduce the debt? They're not. In fact, nobody even talks about it anymore. That has a massive impact on the value of the dollar and the currency. And it's only a matter of time, in my humble opinion, that this is going to implode. Now, look, diversification, that's what real experts talk about. It's a hedge against instability. My friends at Monetary Gold have been around since 2000 witnessing multiple economic setbacks. If you call now and say Mark sent you, it will cover up to lifetime of your IRA fees on qualified accounts. Call monetary gold now at 8-77-now-Gold. That's 8-77-now-Gold. 877-now-Gold. Performance may vary. You should always consult your financial and tax professional. 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. We've once again made contact with our love.

[B]

Sam.

[A]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-3813. You know, I'm grateful for this platform that I have talk radio so I can respond to some of the things and the way they're being reported in the news. And so one of these things I want to respond to obviously involves you, Mr. And Mrs. America. I know you're frustrated. What you're watching on the news, you're frustrated with the reporting because if you listen to this program, you actually know the facts behind the events that are taking place. The organizations, communist and socialist organizations that are preaching violence and obstruction of our law enforcement. We're trying to apprehend illegal aliens and criminals who are beyond illegal aliens who've done other things. Then you see a left wing mayor Minneapolis, a left wing governor of Minnesota, or gaslighting, gaslighting this sort of militia, these mobsters. And then you hear Hakeem Jeffries say that he wants to impeach Nome and all the rest of it. And you're seeing reporting even by people who should know better. It just seems like the mob moves in one direction. But even if I'm the last man standing, I will object to what's taking place. The undermining of our federal constitution, the undermining of our immigration laws. Let's go through this point by point, this immigration battle and the war against ice. Number one, do not arm yourself with a gun and ammunition, extra ammunition. In fact, when going to Any protest, let alone a protest organized by violent communist and socialist groups, where you know the goal is to confront and obstruct federal law enforcement, or any law enforcement for that matter, from carrying out their lawful orders. That's number one. This is not a Second Amendment issue. You have the right to carry your weapon if you have a permit, like you have the right to drive your car if you have a driver's license. But how you conduct yourself with a gun or a car matters. Number two, do not interfere with law enforcement when you know the situation is dangerous and can easily escalate if you attempt to obstruct them. In fact, doing so is a crime. It has nothing to do with the First Amendment, free speech, or the freedom of association. Number three, when federal law enforcement is attempting to arrest an illegal alien, especially an illegal alien who's committed violent and in some cases heinous additional crimes, do not interfere with or otherwise obstruct law enforcement from apprehending these fugitives. Again, this is a crime. And moreover, you might get harmed. You'll likely get arrested. You might even get killed. Number four, American citizens, you, Mr. And Mrs. America, have a right to live in a safe and secure neighborhood. You have a right to expect local, state and federal law enforcement in the case of illegal aliens to protect you. And that includes removing these individuals from your communities where they're not supposed to be. So when governors and mayors order state and local law enforcement to stand down, they are protecting illegal aliens and criminals, not you, Mr. And Mrs. America. And they are creating an incredibly hostile environment. And furthermore, the political demagoguery and unhinged full throated gaslighting by these politicians is toxic. And they intended to be toxic. Number five, Federal immigration law sets forth scores of bases for apprehending, detaining and deporting illegal aliens. These laws have been on the books for decades, passed by Democrats and Republicans. Indeed, the fact that a foreign individual has come into the United States illegally is enough of a legal basis for their deportation. That's the law and that's been the law from the beginning. Sanctuary states and cities are violating the federal Constitution. This is not about federalism. The federal government has plenary power over immigration. It's right there in the Constitution. It has always, and that is as the framers intended. When a state or city declares it is a sanctuary for illegal aliens, these governors and mayors of these states and cities are declaring that they're going to usurp federal law, the law of the land, and their oath of office. They are Unlawfully attempting to nullify the federal Constitution and federal law. And they are using the same arguments used by the Confederate Democrats as they seceded from the Union. They have no right or authority of any kind to make such declarations, let alone attempt to enforce them. Number seven. Are states now free to pick and choose which parts of the federal Constitution and federal law they will or will not honor? Why limit the subject matter to immigration now? This is how a nation tears itself apart. We already rent through this during the Civil War. The answer is they absolutely do not have that authority. Period. Number eight. The Democrat Party is fueling this latest assault on the Federal Constitution rule of law. It waved in tens of millions of illegal aliens in violation of the Federal Constitution's requirement to ensure that our laws are faithfully executed. And in this case, the Supremacy Clause it bulldozed through one federal immigration law and rule after another to pave the path for massive illegal immigration. It seeks to increase Democrat Party representation through the census, which still counts illegal aliens for the purpose of assigning congressional seats and electoral college votes. And it seeks to fundamentally alter the entire citizenry through birthright citizenship. To allow this to go unaddressed is to lose the country and establish a one party Democrat party autocracy like they've done in California, but nationwide. Number nine. For the Democrat Party, preventing the deportation of illegal aliens is the second part of their two part strategy. First, wide open borders, then ending deportations. This is, as I've said many times, revolution by immigration. Now it is essential for them that they weaken ice, if not defund it altogether, as some of them proclaim and undermine all parts of the immigration infrastructure. For the Democrat Party, the party is more important than the country. Which is why you see the fusion of the Democrat Party with the socialist and communist organizations that are behind these violent confrontations with ice. To put a fine point on it, the Democrat Party and its power come before the country. Of course. The Democrat Party threatens to shut down the government unless the President and Congressional Republicans accede to its demands. Slash DHS funding, tie the hands of ice. They call it reform, of course, and fire the DHS secretary who they threaten to impeach if they win the midterm elections along with the President, by the way. And they will blame it all on the Republicans. Remember, the objective is Democrat Party through agitprop prop propaganda tied to action. They've learned well from the communists. The language, the propaganda, the sloganeering, the projection number 11. Shame on those Republican officials. Or joining the chorus demanding surrender in the face of all this, given all that's at stake, sometimes you got to be tough. You got to muscle through these situations. You've got to win the day. In the end, eventually the people will know and they will celebrate it. That's what's called leadership. Bending to the mob means they're bigger, louder, more violent mobs in the future. That's what it means. You did not see 1% of the outrage from the Democrats or their media when American citizens were murdered by illegal aliens. Where was the coverage? Other than on Fox and talk radio, you saw almost nothing. The names of those in the last two weeks who've been shot and killed, unfortunately, sadly, tragically, obstructing law enforcement are seared in the mines through repetition. There are endless reports about who they are. But the names of those who are murdered by illegal aliens, not just two, but scores and scores. Their names are not known or quickly forgotten. They're not even mentioned by the Democrats and rarely by their media. The little boys who've been sodomized, the women who've been raped, the stores that have been robbed, the people who've been shot or murdered with machetes, the gang members, whether they're from Venezuela or El Salvador or wherever, the drug pushers, the fentanyl pushers, those names you don't know. And yet these are exactly the kind of people that ICE is trying to capture, detain and deport. I'll be right back. You know my buddy Sid, Sid Rosenberg of Sid and Friends on wabc. He's a powerhouse. The biggest morning show in New York, which means the biggest morning show, I guess, in the country, right? Anyways, a dear friend, and this is his 10th year anniversary, it was an honor to be on his program. But the President was on his program today and the issue of Mayor Fry and Governor Walz came up. Listen to this cut one go.

[B]

But I had two very good talks. I had Jacob Fry and I had Governor Waltz and I mean, they were, they were great calls. So let's see how they report it. But they were very nice calls, very respectful.

[A]

So is there a possibility, President Trump, of some type of compromise? I read that some of the Guard. Are we leaving the state of Minnesota some type of compromise to I guess make those guys feel like they're in charge even though God help us?

[B]

Yeah, well, I think so. Yeah. I mean, I think so. What, what we need is their criminals. You know, they have criminals and all. I said just give us your criminals and if you give us the criminals, it all goes away. They're there to, to Pick up murders. I don't know if you saw, but it was a couple of days ago. Announced that crime is the lowest in the history of our country, the recorded history of our country. That's a big statement. That's because of us. That's because we go into cities and towns. Usually we're embraced, sometimes we're not. Chicago is like pulling teeth with Pritzker and with the mayor, the mayor of Chicago, low IQ person. And usually we're embraced, but sometimes we're not. And when we're not, it just makes it harder.

[A]

You know, the Democrats stab us in the back. They stab the president back. This Mayor Fry, who's a quisling, was reported about half hour, 45 minutes ago that he was not going to work with ICE to take the criminals off the street. He didn't put it that way, but he said we're not going to do. We're not going to assist federal law enforcement. You're not assisting federal law enforcement. A hole. You're protecting your community. But what is this kind of insanity with these people? Because this is their base, the Democrat Party. The longest book I ever wrote is called the Democrat Party Hates America. Well, if it loves America, it has a funny way of showing it, doesn't it? Show me, show me, tell me how the dem. Hey, Mr. Call Screener, leave one line open. I want a Democrat to tell me how they love America. All they want to do is change this, change this, destroy that, destroy that, change the citizenry, attack capitalism, attack our founders and our history and on and on. Hey, hey. I know I'm right about this. And I've got list after list here like this Chris Van Hollen. This guy is a whack job. He supports Islamism and Marxism and he's elected from Maryland. Let's start it. Cut three, go.

[B]

I think it requires radical reform, but because what we're witnessing right now.

[A]

Let us be clear. That was enough. So they incite these riots. They gaslight the violence. They embrace the Marxist Islamists like Mandani. So they light the fuse. They cause the fire. They are the arsonists, so to speak. And then they say, we have to fix this. The firefighters are out of control. We got to fix this. What they mean is we've succeeded. We're going to weaken ice. We're going to weaken our enforcement laws. We're going to undermine the president's ability to deport illegal aliens brought here by the Democrats. That's what they mean. I'll be right back. The Mark Levan show. The pool feed for the conservative media Dive in now. 877-381-3811 when these Democrats are brought on cable TV, a conga line or even network TV, aren't they confronted? Why aren't they asked why they won't support the removal of hardened violent criminals from their communities? Have any of them been asked that question? I haven't seen it. If it has, it is very rare. Why aren't they asked? Why are they defending violent foreigners, violent criminals instead of defending their own communities and their own citizenry? Weren't they asked why local mayors and state governors don't coordinate with the federal government to identify who these people are, where they live so they can be removed? Why aren't they asked if they are communicating with or in any way coordinating with these Marxist socialist violent activists that are being funded by a billionaire in communist China as well as others? Why aren't they asked these questions? Why aren't they asked if it's okay for somebody to bring a pistol with ammunition and backup ammunition to not just a protest to a situation in which the so called protesters intend to obstruct federal law enforcement? Is that smart? Why aren't they asked on January 6 when a veteran, a woman, Came into the Capitol building, was unarmed, shot through a door and murdered? Why do they defend the person who shot her? Why don't they ask if it were January 6th and somebody showed up with a loaded pistol and extra ammunition, would that have been okay? Is it okay? No. Why are these Democrats getting a pass? Weren't these Democrats asked at least by our people? Aren't many of these people here because you and your President Biden brought them here, opened the border, coddled them? Weren't they asked? It's amazing, is it not America? Why am I able to do that here but nobody else seems to be able to do it? Why is that? Why is that? You know, Pure Talks favorite holiday. What a great patriotic company. By the way. Pure Talk President's Day. Because they believe wireless service should only cost you a couple of presidents. Just a Jackson and a Lincoln to be exact. That's 25 bucks a month. Pure Talk gives you unlimited talk, text, plenty of data and the best wireless that's available out there. Cutting edge technology. It's fast as fast can be. Now compare that to big wireless, the big three. Who in my view are ripping you off at and T Verizon and T Mobile. Get rid of them. Get rid of them. Get rid of them. They'd rather celebrate Benjamin Franklin Day. $100 bill so they can Charge you and your family hundreds of dollars every month. And he wasn't even president. Great man, but he wasn't even president. You deserve better. Pure Talk is an American wireless company that supports our veterans and invests in a US Only customer service team. So when you call, you're talking to someone right here at home in America. And Pure Talk was founded to give you, the consumer, a break, to compete against the Big three, to give you a better deal than the big Three. And they sure do. Pure Talk uses the same towers as the big carriers, so he enjoys superior 5G coverage without the inflated price, without getting ripped off. Just $25 a month for Talk Text. Tons of data, more than you'll need. No contract, no cancellation fee. Because they believe in freedom, your freedom. So I wouldn't wait any longer. You're just burning your money. Just dial £250, say the keyword Mark Levin. You'll get 50% off your first month on top of everything else. They want you to be a customer and they will treat you well and with respect. Again, dial pound two five zero, say Mark Levin. Make the switch to my wireless company, America's wireless company. Pure Talk. They are fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. So we have these Democrat demagogues. They created the situation with the open borders. They created the situation by gaslighting these, these mobsters, the Marxists and the socialists that Fox News Digital has enormous amounts of evidence are behind this. A billionaire in Shanghai. Among others. Among others. And then they say, look at this mess. Look, two people have been killed. They take no responsibility for that. They take no responsibility for the mayhem that illegal aliens are doing in this country. They take no responsibility for the families that are suffering, the victims, none. And then of course they self righteously declare our citizens are under attack. We're here to protect our citizens and we're going to shut down the government. If you don't weaken ice, defund ice, in fact, all of dhs, we're going to make it incredibly inconvenient to fly over the weekend. Is that okay with you? Because tsa, TSA is under dhs. So in addition to weather cancellations, the Democrats will cause the cancellations. And then of course, having learned from the agitprop of Lenin and Mao and Stalin and the rest, they're going to tell you it's the fault of the Republicans who keep voting to open the government, but they just won't listen to us and protect the American people. Got it? That's what's going on here. It's sick now, Kristi. Noem who I've met maybe twice socially for about three minutes, I was appointed to this board that advises dhs. They've had a couple of meetings. I've been unable to attend for one simple reason. I don't want to leave my radio post to attend meetings like that. Maybe one day they'll have when I don't have radio, but nonetheless. What are they doing with Christine? What did they do with Clarence Thomas? What did they do with Sam Alito? What do they do relentlessly with Donald Trump? What do they do with these people? Saul Linsky. It is Saul Linsky, the Marxist from Chicago who helped indoctrinate Obama and Hillary Clinton. What did they learn from him in the Rules for Radicals? You target your opponents, you personalize the attacks on your opponents, you character assassinate your opponents, and you defeat your opponents. So now it's Chrissy Noem's turn. It was Cash Patel's turn, Pam Bondi's turn. It was Hegset's turn. It's always Trump's turn, Clarence Thomas's turn, Sam Alito's turn. You go on and on and on. But now it's Nome. She's going to be impeached if she doesn't resign. Resign for what? She's doing her job. Doing what she was asked. It's okay if you sent Tom Holman in there. He wants to try something differently. The president, whatever. But that's not my point. My point is the Democrats are the arsonists. Then they attack the firefighters for not doing enough to keep the fires out. Like this rogue Kahana, who is a complete con man. He's Khan Mahana. That's right, Ro, if that is your name, Khan Mahanna. Cut to go. Well, it's unacceptable and he needs to come here and talk to people. They just want their lives back. Minnesotans are good people. They're hurting, they're grieving. Minnesotans are good people. They're hurting and grieving. No, they're not hurting and grieving. We're talking about illegal aliens here and the mob that seeks to protect them. Not Minnesotans. Generally. The vast majority of Minnesotans are utterly unaffected by this, but they are affected by the Somalians who came in, the Somalis who came in 100,000 or so, basically took over Minnesota and have stolen about $10 billion. We're all affected by that. But don't dare say it. No, don't you dare say that. It's like Islamism. What are you, an Islamophobe? No, I'm calling as it's taking Place as a what are you anti Somalian? No, I'm just explaining. Oh yes you are. You must be a white supremacist. I'm an American citizen who's observing things that are being done to the country, to the American people. I'll be right back. All right, we have a liberal from Burke, Virginia, the great Wmal. Go right ahead, sir. Hello. Hello?

[B]

Hello.

[A]

Yes, go ahead, awkwardly.

[B]

My name is also Mark.

[A]

With a C or a K?

[B]

With a K. Can you prove it.

[A]

And go right ahead.

[B]

I'm not sure I can prove it right now. But your question to the audience was directed more broadly at, you know, people who are more left leaning or left wing.

[A]

So what do you love about the country?

[B]

What do I love about this country?

[A]

Aren't you left leaning or liberal? Is that why you called?

[B]

I am personally, along with many of my family members with what I told your call screener is I am from a deeply military family.

[A]

All right, sir, sir, thanks for your call. Goodbye. All right, ladies and gentlemen, I asked for a liberal, didn't I, Rich? Now I know I get a whole spiel if you're just be proud of it. Let me even narrow it more. If you're a leftist. A leftist. You don't even consider yourself an old time liberal. Call me and tell me what is it that you love about our country. Leave that one line open. Christian. But you know the word salad. I don't want to hear the word salad. I just want to get to it. What do they love about it?

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 Len. Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811. I want to remind you the number of monetary gold 877. Now gold 877. Now gold 8 7. Now gold. All I can do is inform you and you'll make the final decision. Of course. Christopher Hitchens. Anybody remember Christopher Hitchens? Many of you do. Guy was brilliant. Obviously Wal didn't always agree with him, but I agreed with him a lot, particularly as he got older. He was a chain smoker and unfortunately he died of cancer. I believe it was throat or lung cancer. But we miss guys like him, people like Milton Friedman. I know Tom Sowell is up there in age, but we miss his regular columns. And Walter Williams was my first guest ever on Life, Liberty and Live In. Came all the way out to Leesburg, Virginia to sit in the studio with me, William Rusher, Bill Buckley, so many others who are missing today. Instead, we get Tucker Carlson on this Holocaust Remembrance Day, who is an anti Semite, who is an anti Christian and who promotes a rewrite of the Holocaust. Been to Qatar, now he's going to Saudi Arabia, and he thinks Iran should have a nuclear weapon. If you think that, you're a traitor, I just believe that. That's Mark's opinion. But nobody really has replaced these great men. Nobody can Rush Limbaugh. But it is important to be informed by them in so many ways. Very important. It's what I try to bring to the microphone, bring to the table, obviously, my own knowledge and approach. But to take in as much as you possibly can, because I'm talking to the world here. I'm talking to millions of people. And to me, it's not, it's not to be frivolous. It's not a joke. We're not killing time. Every minute is precious. Every minute is precious. This Islamist issue is a big deal. There are these Islamist compounds, these sort of segregated large communities popping up all over the place. And when I go on the Internet and I read about it, they're popping up everywhere. It's obviously strategic. The amount of money is enormous. So these are footholds, multiple footholds, almost like a centipede of footholds now taking place in the country, especially in very Republican areas, in very Republican states. Texas is being targeted, Florida is being targeted, among other places. And when you raise it, you're called an Islamophobe. I don't really care. I listen to these imams. I listen to these other people, what they say. Here's a mother, a Muslim Brotherhood member, at a speech. He brags about dismantling America. Cut 13, Mr. Producer. Go. Today we have 43 state delegates in.

[B]

The United States who are Muslim.

[A]

If they want to run for Congress, we may end up with about 50 members of Congress in the next six years.

[B]

That's really the essence of dismantling the system of injustice, is to replace it.

[A]

With the people who represent the prophet. And it goes on. And there are hundreds of people talking like this in mosques throughout the country, in Muslim community centers throughout the country, the Islamists. There are towns now where you're simply not welcome, like Dearborn, Michigan. And now there's neighborhoods where you're simply not welcome. Much like France, much like England. There are 50 million Muslims now in Europe. How do I know that? Because an imam said there are 50 million Muslims now in Europe. He said, enough to conquer the entire continent. It's what he said. If you listen to these people, the Islamists, they're imams, they're so called scholars, they're activists, they will tell you what they're doing. And so when I bring it to your attention, I'm not manufacturing anything, I'm telling you what they're doing and what they're saying. Christopher Hitchens, About 20 years ago, give or take, he made the following statement. He was a very courageous man about his views and quite brilliant. Again, didn't agree with everything, but I agree with a lot. I want you to listen very carefully. Cut 12, Mr. Producer. Go. This is very urgent business, ladies and gentlemen. I beseech you, resist it while you still can. And before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing you will be told. You can't complain because you're Islamophobic. The term is already being introduced into the culture as if it was an accusation of race hatred, for example, or bigotry, whereas it's only the objection to the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion. Resist it while you can. And if you wonder what will happen if you don't, look and see how a cricket team in Middlesex in England had to change its name by force last week because it was called, and had been for years, the Middlesex Crusaders. Look and see how stories about little pigs can't be taught to children in English schools anymore, lest offence be taken by the religion of peace. And England's largely been conquered already.

[B]

And.

[A]

That was about 20 years ago. That's going to be America in about five years. The Democrats, they win in one election in Virginia. They're destroying the whole state. They're destroying the entire educational system. They're trying to jam through a voting system where they can't lose. This is the mix of the Marxist totalitarianism with the Islamist totalitarianism, and the overwhelming majority of Islamists vote Democrat, and that's the way the Democrat Party wants it. I want you to listen again, because it's less than a minute. It's absolute genius. But it goes quickly because he was prescient. Cut 12. Go. This is very urgent business. Ladies and gentlemen, I beseech you, resist it while you still can. And before the right to complain is taken away from you, which will be the next thing you will be told. You can't complain because you're Islamophobic. The term is already being introduced into the culture as if it was an accusation of race hatred, for example, or bigotry. Whereas it's only the objection to the preachings of a very extreme and absolutist religion. Resist it while you can. And if you wonder what will happen if you don't, look and see how a cricket team in Middlesex in England had to change its name by force last week because it was called, and had been for years, the Middlesex Crusaders. Look and see how stories are about little pigs can't be taught to children in English schools anymore, lest offence be taken by the religion of peace. I'm gonna let that sit with you a little bit.

Well, I think we have two liberals here. Hopefully we can have a conversation. That would be Roger. New York City, New York, the great wabc. Roger, how are you? Hello.

[B]

Okay, time walk.

[A]

I speak up just a little bit so I can hear you better.

[B]

I'm a member of the Working Families Party in New York. It's a leftist party and I'm proud of it. And I'm proud to be American, where we can protest. I what do you love about America? I Love about America is because I'm in New York City and 85% of the people who voted for the new mayor Mandani, 85% are foreign born.

[A]

What do you love about America?

[B]

I love that you can come here and immigrate here and be a Democrat.

[A]

Okay, great. What do you love about America? The principles, the institutions. Not that people can come here. People can come here, people can leave here. I'm asking you, what do you love about your country?

[B]

I love that we can protest it. Like the nursing.

[A]

I love that you can protest. What do you love about your country? Not about you being able to protest. What do you love? Do you love our economic system? Do you love our industries? Do you love our history? Do you love. What do you love?

[B]

I love everything about it. I love America.

[A]

No, you're not. If you're part of a worker, you're a Marxist, right?

[B]

I'm a leftist. I was considered Marxist.

[A]

No, you're a Marxist. That's what you are, leftist. What does leftist mean?

[B]

A leftist means that we embrace the immigration. But you're mad about Islam.

[A]

Why do we keep focusing on immigration? I'm asking you a question. What is a leftist? You just believe in immigration.

[B]

Immigration issue for. But what are you afraid of the immigration issue for?

[A]

I'm not afraid of it. I talk about it all the time. I'm asking you a question. What is a leftist? I can tell you what a conservative is. What is? A lot. I've written books on it. What is a leftist?

[B]

A leftist is a person who looks at these CEOs like the guys running those hospitals where those.

[A]

I said you're a Marxist and you said you're not. Why did you say you're not when you obviously are?

[B]

I'm saying I'm a leftist.

[A]

No, you're a Marxist. Why? You know why. You won't. Because you said you won't say it because you know people are repulsed by that word. So you'll say I'm a leftist and they go right after the CEOs and so forth. I don't even care about the CEOs. They don't affect my life. But I. But I started by asking you what do you love about the country? You haven't said a damn thing yet that you can protest seriously. That's it.

[B]

You, freedom and that I could. I could earn a living in this country and immigration, where we can.

[A]

All right, you can. Hold on. Slow down, sir. I don't want to do the word. You can earn a living in this country, right? Is that what you just said.

[B]

You gave us New York. New York City. You lost, not me.

[A]

Forget about that. Politics and elections. You want to keep going. You said you can work for a living. I'm going to guess. What are you, a teacher? Professor. What are you?

[B]

Listen, I work in a field where I'm surrounded by people who are Republicans and Democrats.

[A]

I don't really care. What do you do? I'm not out to attack you. I'm trying to figure you out. What do you do?

[B]

I'm a broker. I'm a broker.

[A]

You're a stockbroker? Real estate broker?

[B]

No, I'm a real estate broker.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And New York City is doing darn well right now.

[A]

Well, not because Mandami just walked in office 14 minutes ago. So, you know, that's all great. So you're. You're a broker. So you're a capitalist.

[B]

I am. I believe you can make our.

[A]

No, you're a real estate broker. You literally buy and sell private property. You're a real estate broker, Correct?

[B]

Yes, and I believe in that.

[A]

So you're.

[B]

I think you're the mark.

[A]

Hello. Hello. So you're a capitalist. Correct.

[B]

Bringing in.

[A]

He's not gonna answer. One more time. You're a capitalist. Correct.

[B]

I believe. No, capitalist is a Marxist term and you're using it. I'm a free enterprise.

[A]

Okay, let me do it this way. So you believe in the free market system, right?

[B]

That's right. Free enterprise. That's it. The free markets. And problem I have is when these CEOs are making 20, 30 million dollars a year and you got those thirsts.

[A]

Freezing outside, why does it matter to me if a CE CEOs making 20 or $30 million a year? How much do you make a year? How much do you make a year?

[B]

Those nurses should be.

[A]

Well, maybe somebody making. And I don't know this to be the case. I'm just saying Maybe somebody making 20 or 30 million dollars a year created 100 nursing jobs.

[B]

No, these people just come in the. No, they don't actually. The brokers bring them in.

[A]

Yeah, you're a broker. Let's go back to you. Rather than talk in the. In the abstract, do you make a lot of money?

[B]

I make a decent living. To new. You live in New York City.

[A]

Do you make a lot of money?

[B]

I make it.

[A]

I make over a million dollars.

[B]

No, I don't make over a million dollars. No.

[A]

Well, you're not a very good broker then, no offense. In New York City, you make over half a million. You make over half A million dollars?

[B]

No, I don't make over half a million dollars.

[A]

You're going to work this entire make over $200,000?

[B]

I'm not going to comment on that.

[A]

I mean, what kind of a broker are you? A private property in New York City. It seems to me you saw 15 inches of the land in Manhattan. That's millions of dollars. Okay, so you make over $200,000 a year. That's why you won't say, correct?

[B]

That's not correct. No. I'm not going to give out how much I made.

[A]

I just want to get into this whole equity thing. Because you told the call screener you believe in equity, which is really a modernized Marxist term. What's equity mean?

[B]

I didn't say I believe in equity.

[A]

I just believe that's what he said here.

[B]

That some of these CEOs are making too much money.

[A]

What about these union bosses that are making a million and a half dollars? Is that okay?

[B]

I don't think there's any union bosses making.

[A]

Oh, no, there are union bosses. I'm not going to do all the research for you. We've talked about it here before. But let's say they are. Is that okay?

[B]

Well, listen, they represent their unions.

[A]

I see. It depends what they do.

[B]

Well, they have.

[A]

What if somebody invented a new medical procedure that saves thousands of thousands of lives, becomes a multi billionaire? Is that okay?

[B]

Of course it is. I said I believe it.

[A]

Oh, that's okay. But you're attacking CEOs generally. Hello, Earth calling. You're attacking CEOs generally. And you don't even know what they're doing. If you attack a single CEO, you have an example of somebody who's ripping off everybody. So nurses are outside freezing. Then we can have a conversation. But that's not what you did. You said, what about these CEOs that earn 20 and 30 million dollars a year? Well, what do they do? All right, listen, I like you, actually, because you. You had a rational conversation. Even though I disagree. I don't quite understand people like you. It's the truth. But I want to thank you for calling. You had the guts to call and have a rational conversation of sorts. And we have another liberal on the line. Do we still, Mr. Producer? All right, well, we're gonna have to take a break. I grew up with people like this. I just did. And they talk in generalizations. And he wants to talk about immigration. I asked. I want to talk about Marxism and socialism versus capitalism and Americanism. He's right. Capitalism is a Marxist term. That's how I know he's a Marxist. We'll be right back. You know what PureTalk's favorite holiday is? President's Day.

[B]

Mark Levin, radio's principled patriot.

[A]

Call in now at 877-381-3811. The question is, and it's hard to keep liberals focused, why do you love the country? What is it about the country that you love? So they start attacking CEOs, keep talking about immigration. No, no. What is it about the country? We have Shane in Kansas City, Kansas. XM Satellite Shane, how are you.

[B]

Doing? Well, Mark, how's it going, man?

[A]

Okay, thank you. What do you love?

[B]

I love the Constitution. I love our Constitution. I love that it's set and that it's not to be altered unless it's 100 solely agreed upon by a con, you know, a large body, you know, the Congress.

[A]

And of course, the way we amend it is 2/3 of both houses of Congress can propose an amendment and 3/4 of the state legislatures can adopt it or the convention of states. 34 states propose a convention and 38 states ratify. So you mean a super majority and you're correct about that.

[B]

Yes, sir. I believe it's very hard to change and I very much appreciate that. So.

[A]

So what do you think about activist liberal judges who changed the Constitution? Do you like that?

[B]

No, I sure don't. But I do have a problem with you comparing Ashley Babbitt calling out a murder. I mean, I don't, you know, before.

[A]

We do this, and I'm happy to do it so you Love the Constitution. Is that correct?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

So you love limited government, is that correct?

[B]

I prefer them to stay out of my business. Absolutely no.

[A]

Limited government, in other words, even when it comes to economic matters. Limited government.

[B]

Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of. I don't like taxes, you know, but you know, that makes me like all.

[A]

These government programs coming out of the federal government.

[B]

I think some are all right, but I don't like the abuse.

[A]

Well, nobody likes the abuse. I'm just saying, constitutionally, what is the basis for all these government programs?

[B]

Like which programs?

[A]

All right, let's pick one. The Federal Housing Authority. 1930s, they passed that where the federal government would subsidize federal housing. What do you think of that?

[B]

Yeah, like I said, I'm, I'm not a real huge fan of government handouts. Nobody's ever given me a handout. I'm a truck driver. I make about 63.

[A]

So how are you a liberal?

[B]

I just grew up with the family that, you know, has been pretty. Just, just the family I grew up in.

[A]

I know, but what makes you liberal? I mean, you're a hard working guy, you're a truck driver. Nobody's giving you anything. You either put your ass in that seat and drive that truck across the country or whatever you do, or you're not going to make any money. And then you see people getting something for nothing. You see redistribution of wealth. What, what, what makes you a liberal? I think you're more like me than you know.

[B]

Can I, can I, can I talk to you about just the two shootings?

[A]

Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead.

[B]

Okay, well, first of all, I don't know the nurse guy, I don't know if he brought the weapon to cause trouble. Now, I don't. You know, he died because of his own stupidity. He didn't follow orders and he resisted. I don't have a problem. You know, I do believe that you.

[A]

And I break this down together. I have a carry permit. If I were going to a protest that I knew was organized, and he did know that, and the goal was to obstruct or confront law enforcement from taking some, some illegal alien, some foreigner who committed some additional crime out of their home or out of a house, would you bring a weapon to that?

[B]

And why would you if. No, listen, if the liberals are as crazy as everybody makes them out to be, why wouldn't you have a weapon? And if they like to eat, I'll.

[A]

Tell you why I wouldn't have a weapon. First of all, I wouldn't be there but if that's my goal, I wouldn't have a weapon. So I don't get shot.

[B]

No, he didn't get shot because he had a weapon. He got shot because he resisted arrest.

[A]

Well, you don't know and I don't know. But it's interesting that he's the one with the weapon who got shot. Right. It wasn't somebody else there.

[B]

And I carry weapons. I don't resist and I don't have that same interaction.

[A]

I'm saying to you, if you're getting the signal and they had this stuff on signal to come to these events, they're organized and they're funded and we know for a fact because Fox News Digital has the whole thing laid out and you're going to run to this event and you're going to be packing not just ammo but extra ammo. What I'm saying is I would never do that because I don't want to create an event. You understand what I'm saying?

[B]

I hear you, but it's not the seed. It's back to the you're kind of being an advocate for taking away guns.

[A]

It's not an advocate for taking away guns. Let's say I have an automobile. I have a license for an automobile, but I'm not going to drive it to the protest in order to try and block ICE from doing what it's doing. In other words, I have licenses but yet to be responsible. And so if you're going to bring a loaded weapon or a weapon with ammunition, not just ammunition, not just one set of rounds, but additional rounds, two clips, and they see your gun and they're yelling, gun, gun, gun. I'm not defending and I'm not attacking. I'm just saying you've created a situation in an environment where you know it's going to be provocative, where you know there's going to be law enforcement, where you know you're going to try and obstruct them, I don't think that's so smart. It's certainly a contributing factor because other people who didn't have a weapon were not shot. So it's not that I'm opposed to the Second Amendment. That's stupid. I'm talking about if you have the gun, be wise about what you do with it and where you bring it. If you're going to bring it not to a protest but what turns out to be a violent riot, because that's what these guys are all about. Not him necessarily, but certainly the people who were surrounding him. That's why they're shooting, basically laughing gas and these other things. That's a big error in my view. But I don't know what this has to do with liberal. And I asked you if you love the country and you do, you love the Constitution and you do, and so you're not a liberal. Did you know that, Shane?

[B]

I just don't like Ashley being called. I don't like Ashley being called a murder, being murdered. Oh, she was to say that that guy that. Well, how do you know that? How do you know he was shot? Or was it in fear of.

[A]

Well, he didn't even know he was shooting it. He shot right through the door because.

[B]

There'S a mob breaking down the door.

[A]

Well, guess what? You just gave an excuse for ICE to start shooting people because there's a mob attacking them. No, no, no, no. You don't shoot through a door. And she was unarmed and she was a vet, and she died just like.

[B]

The lady that got shot in the face. He was in fear. All the people that see you, you're taking. You're saying that that guy wasn't afraid. And how would you not be afraid?

[A]

If you're afraid, then why are you going there? Hold on, pal. Why are you going there in the first place if you're afraid?

[B]

No, I'm saying, like, if. No, the officer that shot Ashley, how do you. How do you not be afraid if you're in his shoes?

[A]

Well, maybe he is afraid. And I'll bet cops are afraid all the time. That's not the standard.

[B]

No, if you say he wasn't in fear of it, the standard is if you're in fear of your own show.

[A]

She wasn't even banging on the door. You don't shoot through a door, in my humble opinion. Let me ask you this question. If this guy had been armed and had two clips and he showed up on January 6th at the Capitol building and he was shot for whatever the reason, do you think the media and the left would be as upset as they are now?

[B]

Oh, no. They would paint him out to, you know, and I get the hypocrisy. And that's kind of what. What I'm not, you know, I'm a little bit frustrated by your comparison of the two. Like, you know, I feel like you're being.

[A]

No, my comparison of the two is, in one case, they dismiss her. They don't even talk about her. They're not upset about it. And in the other case, we learn everything there is to know about this man. And he was. He was A nurse, icu. That's all to the good. But he showed up with a weapon. I'm not saying that you deserve to be shot because you show up with a weapon. But he came into an environment that was a hostile, if not violent environment. The goal was to stop ICE from doing their lawful job, from following through on a lawful order. An order from an administrative law judge. And he brought a weapon. And I think that was pretty stupid. All right, my friend, appreciate your call. Keep on trucking. As I say, that's a good caller, Mr. Producer. I know I'm talking about a liberal, you understand? If you're if. And I'm not even talking about a liberal, if you're a leftist, let's do it this way. If you're a Marxist, if you're part of this, what do they call themselves? Democratic Socialist Party. Which are Marxists. Tell me what you love about the country. Not your right to protest or illegal. What do you love about America? Not your right to trash America. What do you love about America? I want to know. Apparently, it's very difficult. I'll be right back. You know what PureTalk's favorite holiday is? President's Day. Because they believe wireless service should only cost you a couple of presidents.

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. I notice a lot of politicians and journalists are saying we remember this day for the millions of people who were killed. Why is it January 27th, 1945? Why is Holocaust Remembrance Day January 27th of the year? Does anybody know? Because that is when the concentration camps Auschwitz and Birkenau were liberated. Where the Jews were liberated. That is what Holocaust Remembrance Day is about.

[B]

Now.

[A]

I want to give you an idea. In Europe, before the Holocaust, before the Third Reich, there were nine and a half million Jews. Four and a half years later, there were three and a half million. Mr. Producer, I will give you some examples. In Hungary, there were 490,000 Jews. Pre war Jewish population estimated murdered. This is just Hungary. 300,000. 300,000. In Poland, there are 300. There are 3,350,000 Jews estimated murdered. 3,000,000. 3,000,000. In the Soviet Union, there were slightly over 3 million Jews murdered. 1,340,000. In Lithuania, there were 153,000 Jews murdered, 130,000 Jews. In Germany, there were 237,000 Jews, 165,000 murdered. In France, there were 300,000 Jews, 74,000 murdered. In Czechoslovakia, there were 354,000 Jews, 260,000 murdered. And I can go on and on. This is Holocaust Remembrance Day. Holocaust remembrance day. Because in 1945, on this day, Auschwitz and Birkenau were liberated. The Jewish concentration camps. And so today, it's unfortunate for sure. I spent a lot of time on this radio program, on the Internet, on my TV show, Defending my faith, defending my ethnicity as an American, as a red blooded American whose family came here in 1905, 121 years ago, his family fought in World War II. I have to come behind this microphone and defend myself, defend other American Jews, Jews worldwide, from people who are fairly recent to this country, like Islamists, as well as people who are not so recent to this country, like Marxists and neo fascists. And I fear I'm losing the battle. President of the United States knows exactly what's going on. And he's talked about it many times and he's talked about it with me privately, that he's very worried about it. That's what he says. I'm very worried about this. I'm very concerned about this. There are people with relatively large followings on podcast programs. We're spreading this kind of hatred like it's the 1930s. They have smiles on their face, they shave, they're entertainers, they're comedians, they're announcers at athletic events, Just like the 1930s. But the difference is in the 1930s, those people didn't know what was coming. In 2026, we know what can. And I want to thank all of you in this audience, all of you righteous Gentiles, most of you Christians. God has blessed me, my family and us with you as fellow citizens and our neighbors and all of us to understand what's taking place doesn't mean it's just Jews. It's Christians, too. But I want to thank you. I'll be right back. 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 megastores, 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.

Made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

[A]

You know, America. While the Democrats and the media are focused on Mr. Preddy and the tragedy that happened to him. And it is a tragedy. There's no question about it. 40, 43,000 Iranians have been slaughtered. Now, I'm not hearing much, are you? And don't tell me that's over there. That's over there. When it's a regime that wants to be over here and to blow us off the face of the earth. That's what they say. I didn't make it up. And we didn't bomb corn fields and wheat fields. We bombed nuclear sites because that's what they were building. The President is not a man of war. He's a man of peace. Who understands you have to use the military from time to time to enforce the peace. And no, that's not oxymoronic. It's not a contradiction. It's a fact. That is dealing with evil. You believe in God? Well, God gave us the capacity to defeat that regime, to protect ourselves and all of humanity. But the inhumanity that's taking place in Iran right now and the lack of attention is really appalling to me. And I was afraid of this. The Urgency and the immediacy has sort of worn off our media's board. They're now focused on one event in Minneapolis, and they'll be focused on it for the next week. The Democrats will focus us on closing down the government, going after Christy Noem, and on and on and on. What are we waiting for? Are there more assets that got to be moved into place? Because if there are, I am worried. I am worried. If we were fighting Communist China and we were fighting a real army, would it take us this long to get our assets in place? The Iranian regime has never been weaker, never militarily, economically. It even has to bring in Arab terrorists from Lebanon, from Iraq, from wherever they can get them to help them slaughter their own people. I'm asking what are we waiting for? And I say it with the utmost respect and understanding that this can be complicated. I certainly understand that, that we promise to do something about it. Every hour that passes, every day, every week, people are being slaughtered. There's a slaughtering machine taking place in Iran. It's sickening how Governor Walz, such as he is, brings up Anne Frank. You want to bring up Anne Frank? Bring up Anne Frank in the context of what's happening to the Iranian people. That's a more accurate parallel. But he doesn't. Where's Hakeem Jeffries? Nowhere. What a complete moron. Where, Schumer? Nowhere. Now. Four weeks have passed. Four. It's time. It's time. It's time to take out Khomeini. Enough is enough. We have the capacity to do it and we should do it. People can call me all the names they want. Neocon, warmonger. I'm none of those things. None of them. I really do believe in peace, tranquility. I really do. But unfortunately, there's evil out there, more than I care to even list. But it exists. It exists. And it's existing on our watch. And there are occasions, as I mentioned the other night, where we simply can't do anything. Like in the heart of Communist China where they're slaughtering the Uyghurs. Nobody talks about that either, other than me. Have you ever anybody talk about it? No. And those are Muslims, not Islamists. Muslims who are minding their own business, who are being rounded up and slaughtered. Just like many of the people in Iran who are Muslims. Not all who are being rounded up and slaughtered. And no marching in the streets in America from the Muslims, the Islamists and the. And the Marxists. No. No. In fact, I don't even hear them speaking out. Do you where's care where? Students for justice in Palestine, quote, unquote. Because the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic, they're all in on it, right? Remember Rwanda? Remember the Tutsi genocide? T u tsi. Remember that? The ethnic cleansing, 1993, a hundred days of slaughter. 800,000 people were slaughtered in Rwanda by ethnic Houthi extremists going after the minority Tutsi community. You know the Kurds are being slaughtered in Syria. Our response so far is non existent. 85% of the Rwandas were Houthis. They dominated the Tutsis, the minority. And the slaughter was just so grotesque. 800,000 murdered in 100 days. In Iran, we have estimates 40 to 50,000. I guarantee it's more than that. Murdered in 30 days. Remember all the outcry about Gaza, all the claims of genocide, all lies, all lies. I'm not hearing an outcry about what's going on in Iran. I'm stupefied by this, I really am. The medieval atrocities that are taking place, The young people who are being slaughtered, It's like a hunting field. Remember Cambodia, Some of you too young. And you don't learn history, you're not taught history. You're not taught about the Holocaust, you're not taught about Rwanda, you're not taught about Cambodia, you're not taught about any of this stuff. And all you hear is neocon and what else? Warmonger and no. Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey have spent a fortune trying to poison the minds of Americans, particularly young Americans. They have worked hard. One or more of those countries work very hard to turn podcasters and so called influencers into advocates and propagandists for their regimes. And it's happening right in front of our eyes. It's not like anybody's hiding it. Holocaust Remembrance Day. I wonder how many podcasters mention that today. Do you, Mr. Producer? I wonder how many podcasters mention it. Bloated Bannon Kitarlson, Joe Rogan. Maybe they did. If they did, good for them. We fought in that war. We lost a lot of men and women in that war. We were attacked at Pearl harbor, We declared war in Japan, and then Italy and Germany declared war on us and off to the race. But I always put myself and ourselves in the shoes of these other people. What if you were an Iranian today. And the most powerful military on the face of the earth is sitting with its aircraft carriers, its bombers, its jet fighters, its advanced missiles, and you're waiting for help and you're begging for help? What if it were America and we weren't the greatest power on the face of the earth. And we're waiting for help. And none is coming. None. Of course, every war is not our war, and I've said that over and over again, it would be ridiculous. But when we can help, where we can help and where it helps us. A regime that is Islamist Nazi regime that wants to get nuclear weapons and says nothing's going to stop it and they mean it. And now they have a 10,000 mile missile that can hit the east coast of America. When we can deal with this, people can call it regime change. I have no problem with that. But I call it protecting America. And it has the effect of protecting the Iranian people who want nothing to do with this regime, have never wanted anything to do with this regime. What goes on in Iran does not stay in Iran. And now let me ask you this, let me put it this way before the break. If an Islamo Nazi fundamentalist regime is willing to kill 100,000, 200,000, a quarter million of its own people, do you think it's going to hesitate for a second to fire a nuclear weapon on the east coast of America? Do you really? Is that a chance you want to take with your kids and your grandkids, for God's sakes? I'll be right back.

All right, got a few more callers here. Want to get in? Let's do it. Pull it up, Sean. Are all liberals named Sean, by the way, except for Hannity. Ann Arbor, Michigan on the Mark Levin App. How are you, Sean.

[B]

In the great state of Wolverine smock? I'm a leftist.

[A]

By the way, Wolverines are brutal animals. You do know that, right?

[B]

Yes, they are brutal, but I like to just say, anyway, go right ahead. I wouldn't be surprised, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody was armed at a protest because they protect themselves. A lot of these protests become violent and they become dangerous. So it's not unusual. Wouldn't shock me the least bit. And a lot of these, what you call liberal, I call them leftist states. You have the right to carry, you know, Vermont, Maine, Michigan, Minneapolis, Minnesota, you.

[A]

Know, so has nothing to do about the right to carry. It's nothing to do about the Second Amendment. We're talking about somebody's judgment, and I don't agree with you. I don't think a lot of people come armed to a. To what they know could turn into a violent confrontation. Why would they do that? Let me ask you that. Why would they come armed to a violent confrontation? By the way, you said you were a liberal. You, you misled the call screen a left horse. Yeah, but you're not. Yeah, you're not.

[B]

Yes, I am a leftist.

[A]

Well, then explain how you're a leftist.

[B]

Well, I'll explain to you that I believe in certain things, but first.

[A]

All right, thanks for your call. This guy's full of crap. He's not a leftist at all. He just wants you to believe that it's okay to bring a gun to a potentially violent riot or protest. Okay. If you bring a gun, then, you know, all bets are off. It's a heightened situation. People, their nerves are on edge. ICE knows they're going to be attacked. They've been attacked by all kinds of people. One guy is finger bitten off. Finger bitten off. And we know from the Fox News digital report that these are all planned. That's why they keep showing up in different places for different causes. So the guy brings a gun and nobody's asking, well, why did you bring a gun? So everybody speculated, well, he brought a gun because we know it'll be violent. He was going to challenge ICE and he brought a gun. I'm not saying he intended to use it, but he brought it. That was pretty dumb. Okay, dumb. Let's go to Kurt Billings, Montana, the great KHDN. Go right ahead, please.

[B]

Mr. Levin, I had a pleasure meeting you at the Reagan Library. You signed a book for me, and I want to thank you for what you do for our country. By educating the. By educating the public, being the chief of staff for The DOJ for eight years. There's no better person to educate the public than you.

[A]

Not eight. Three, but who's counting?

[B]

Pardon?

[A]

Three. Not eight, but thank you. I had other positions in the middle. I was Deputy Solicitor, the Interior Department. I was Associate Director, Presidential Personnel, you know, and I. And the Justice Department was the final destination. But thank you for coming. You know. Thank you. We have a great time at the Reagan Library, don't we?

[B]

Unbelievable. I mean, the Reagan is the best. I'm a member there, and I go there all the time. I wanted to bring up a point about the two deaths in Minnesota. First of all, I'm sorry that any of this happened.

[A]

Let me ask you a question, Kurt. How. How come there haven't been any deaths in Texas, in Florida, where the number of criminals that have been captured and removed have been far more than in Minnesota? How come. How come it hasn't occurred there? Because local and state law enforcement work with ice, right?

[B]

No. It's because the elected officials in those states aren't telling the public to go out and record and to get involved and to get into ice's face and to protest. That's exactly right. So I wanted to bring up a point that the news is not bringing up. You being an attorney, I'm of retired law enforcement. I wanted to bring up this point.

[A]

Yes, sir.

[B]

Minnesota concealed weapon law. Under the Minnesota law, you have to have a current government ID on your person with the concealed weapons permit or you're carrying the gun in illegally, making that a crime number one.

[A]

All right, we're going to hold you over so you can make your point. We'll be right back. It's back.

[B]

Hey, it's Dan Bongino.

[A]

Here. How. Here's how. A an aggregation site that puts clips together and puts hysterical headlines on them like the National Enquirer, like Mediaite. It's run by Dan Abrams. He gets A lot of lot of eyes there. A lot of hits. And just give you an example what's going on there. ICE agents try to enter Ecuadorian consulate in Minnesota. She should be at a job. GOP senator calls for amateurish Gnomes ouster. This is this guy Tillis who's always who's a dead politician walking that is he can't get reelected no matter what, so he chose not to. Jake Tapper corners guest who claimed Alex Preddy was committing violence. Gnome says everything I've done has been directed by Trump and Stephen Miller. Trump throws Bovino under the bus. He's out there. Maybe it wasn't good. Fox News host says Trump is just too damn sexy for everybody. You can see this is quite the radical left wing, you know, aggregation site. This is so called new media how they're contributing to society. CNN's Brianna Keller oddly claims Covid made economy bad at end of Biden's term. Oh, it didn't. Melania crew members dish about chaotic set slimy Brett Ratner. Trump defends and battle Kristi Noemi who's closed up the border. She did it couldn't have been a nicer conversation. Trump gushes over Wall's phone call. Victor Wambayama concerned for his safety as foreigner amid national tensions. I shake up team, Trump explains while he benched Greg Bevino for Tom Holman. As bad as they get. Trump unleashes on ABC reporter for roaring crowd. Mike Lawler tells Fox News Trump can't round up everybody and kick them out. I didn't know he was doing that. Sports World unites to trash Washington Post leadership over rumored layoffs and it goes on and on. So you can see it's very left sprinkled in there with some moderate or conservative pieces. But it's almost for like the last several days been laser focused primarily on Preddy, on ice on advocating for the Democrats who are advocating for impeachment endlessly trashing Trump. So how is that any different than the Drudge Report? It's not. And how are any of them any different than Media Matters? They're not. And they use the same headline technique. So it's all about grifting. You won't learn a damn thing from that site. Sometimes I will link to some of those stories, sometimes I won't to make a point. But when you look at it overall, and I don't recommend you do it, it's just a complete downer. Like I haven't seen them even talk about what Fox News Digital broke about all this activity going on and who funds them and so forth. It's as if they. They censor it. Absolutely censored. So you can. You can be propagandist by what you don't say or by what you do say. If you claim to be a media site, it's media ite. I give my opinions. I'm an advocate. I'm an activist. I'm on a mission. I say it over and over and over again. And you can check my facts, you can check the information I use, the news stories I use. But these guys claim to be journalists. Media ite. Not opinion ite. Media ite. And they're not the only ones. The Drudge Report is a disgrace, Absolute disgrace. And there's others, too. They're not intended to inform. They're not intended to inform. They're intended to brainwash, to be ideological, to move the political needle in the direction that they like and so forth and so on. So they should admit that they're opinionate, not Mediaite. Right. They should admit that they're like Salon or the Nation or some of these other crackpot outlets, but they don't. They're very deceiving. All right, let's see what other colors we have here. Bear with me. We want to go back to Kurt. Billings, Montana. Kurt, go ahead and finish your point. Sorry.

[B]

No problem. Thank you for the opportunity. The point is that the media is reporting that the VA nurse, Purdy, who was tragically killed, was carrying a legal weapon. And the fact is, he was not. Because under Minnesota law, you have to be in possession of a current government ID and the concealed weapons permit at the time you're carrying.

[A]

Was. Was he not in possession of those?

[B]

Yeah. No. They're reporting he had no. No ID on his body at the time of the shooting, number one. Number two, as of January 1, 2026, in Minnesota. Under Minnesota law, it allows permit holders to carry firearms at protests and rallies, provided they are not otherwise breaking the law. And since he did not obey the command from the federal officer, he was impeding a federal officer. So he was breaking the law. He was illegally carrying. Then, even if he had ID and he was illegally carrying because he didn't have his driver's license or the concealed weapon permit on him. That's my point. But nobody is reporting that. But they are reporting at the time of the shooting that he did not have any ID on his body.

[A]

All right, I appreciate it. Thank you for your call, and it was nice meeting you. God bless you. Now, I'm Hearing some reports, Mr. Producer, that he was on the ground. His gun wasn't in his hand, and he got shot on the ground. So there'll be a full investigation of this. My only point is don't bring a loaded gun or a gun with two. Two magazines to what you know is going to be. You know is going to be an effort to obstruct law enforcement in their effort, their lawful effort to get criminals, illegal foreigners, criminals, out of the country. Now, you can protest, don't bring your weapon and don't obstruct law enforcement. You can carry signs, you can speak, you can assemble, but you cannot obstruct. That's a federal offense. And I asked the question, why did he bring a firearm? I would like to know what was going through his head. Why did he bring a firearm? I don't think he was going to shoot a fellow protester. Do you, Mr. Producer? Then why did he bring it? Now, if he were. If this were a totally different type of event and he were a potential conservative, maybe he was with the NRA or something like that, you know, this question will be asked a thousand times. You know, the reporting would be totally different. That's all I'm saying. Let's go to Matt. Palm Springs, CA XM Satellite A progressive, self identified. Matt, how are you, sir?

[B]

I'm doing fabulous tonight and I really want to thank you for taking my call. I appreciate that you are willing to listen to different.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Opinions. So I was hoping I could make a couple comments on subjects that have come up today.

[A]

Yeah, go right back to your mouthpiece because I lost. I want to make sure we can hear you.

[B]

Well, Yeah, I wanted to. Can you hear me?

[A]

Yeah, now I can.

[B]

So I wanted to. Do you remember the kid that. With the machine gun that shot the two protesters?

[A]

I don't remember.

[B]

You don't.

[A]

Not with a machine gun. I don't know who. You know what he's talking about, Rich.

[B]

Kyle Ritthouse.

[A]

Kyle Rittenhouse.

[B]

You know Kyle Ritten?

[A]

Yeah. He didn't have a machine gun. But anyway, go ahead.

[B]

What about the. What about in Waco, Texas, when the.

[A]

Whoa, you're bouncing around. What about him?

[B]

What about him? He showed up at a protest with a machine gun and he became one.

[A]

Of your have a machine gun.

[B]

Yes, he did. I looking at a picture of it right now.

[A]

No, he doesn't. He didn't have a machine gun. I think he had a rifle.

[B]

There's an example.

[A]

There's a mix, for God's sakes. He didn't have a machine gun.

[B]

Okay, well, let me move on to another one. There's another protest in Michigan where in a bunch of NRA people showed up.

[A]

I'm not saying you're missing my point entirely. I don't care who's showing up with a weapon. Do you favor people showing up with weapons?

[B]

Yeah, there's many examples.

[A]

Yeah, you do. Okay, just wanted to get that clear. Okay. Rittenhouse showed up with a weapon because other people were showing up with weapons and he needed it to defend himself against rioters who were burning down buildings, who were shooting, including shooting off duty cop, and murdered him. Now, this gentleman, Preddy, he was bringing a weapon to an event, the purpose of which was to block law enforcement from getting one or more criminals and taking them away to deport them. There's two totally different scenarios. But anyway, go ahead. What happened to Waco?

[B]

Hello.

[A]

Let's talk about Waco.

[B]

Well, what about Arizona? Okay. Waco people. Okay. People shooting through doors when the child molesting cult leader of the Waco who became kind of a right wing hero.

[A]

When the government didn't become a right wing hero.

[B]

Oh, you guys had a rally.

[A]

Don't give me you guys. How was he even right wing? He was a nut.

[B]

He was a nut job. Why did you guys have a rally in wake?

[A]

I didn't have. What do you mean, you guys? Who guys?

[B]

You Trump supporters. You Trump supporters.

[A]

Trump supporters had a rally. Waco happened many, many, many years before Donald Trump.

[B]

When did Waco have a rally?

[A]

When did Waco happen?

[B]

Anniversary. On the anniversary, sir?

[A]

Well, I don't know they had a rally or not. That's not a conservative thing. Oh, my God.

[B]

Well, look it up. Do you know who Tom Hartman is? Do you know who Tom Hartman is?

[A]

Isn't he a liberal broadcaster? Yeah, isn't he? Sir, you're bouncing around like you're on something. I'm trying to follow you. Yes, I do know who he is, but I don't know him.

[B]

You should think about going on his show.

[A]

I. Pal, I'm not going on everybody's show. I have my own show. Thank you for nothing. All right, let's see if we have anybody. I should go on Tom Hartman show and What? He has seven listeners? Mr. Producer. I don't know. Okay, let's see. What else? Who else do we have here? That's kind of a typical lib, don't you think, Rich? Remember Waco and you guys? What guys? All right, let's see here. I'm trying to find the call screen. Let's go to there's a Gary, Gary Superior, Wisconsin on the Mark Levin app. Go right ahead, please.

[B]

Yeah, hello, Mark.

[A]

Were you guys at Waco? Were you guys protesting at Waco? Do you even know what the hell he's talking about on that protest?

[B]

I don't know what are.

[A]

There were 20 knuckleheads protesting. And then it's you guys go right ahead.

[B]

Right. I guess I just. Going back to history, when Iran, back when Obama first came into power and Iran felt that the election was illegitimate and the people were out in the streets protesting the election. And I think at that time like five people were killed. And then Obama, when he met with the media and he did his little twist his head, lift his chin and twist his head to the left and the right and goes, we are not going to meddle in other countries affairs. And the very first thing I thought of was that, why don't you try to win the hearts of the Iranian people?

[A]

I honestly don't remember this. No offense.

[B]

I did spend. I was in the army 71 to 74.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And I pulled. I was in West Berlin and I pulled patrols in East Berlin. And so I got to see what the communist side was.

[A]

Pretty frightening, wasn't it? I'd been in East Berlin for about an hour. Couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.

[B]

Yeah. But it. West Berlin, pretty all lit up. People all were on the street.

[A]

We're gonna have to go. I'm way over the break. I'm gonna get in trouble. Yeah. And you're right. East Berlin was dark as could be. Thank you for your service, sir. I really mean it. We'll be right back. I think we now know why liberal radio, talk radio radio failed. Because their callers are nuts. I think that's. I think that's the truth. And their hosts are nuts. But I think we now know why there isn't really liberal talk radio. Because it's idiotic. Just idiotic. I really wanted to have some deep debates with the ideology and the philosophy and nothing. And what about the protest at Waco? What protest at Waco, you guys. That's what I got to deal with. It'd be like debating Tucker. You know, you Jews, you know, sharia is not that bad. Sid, quickly. Dallas, Texas, on the Mark Levin app. Go right ahead, please.

[B]

Yes, thank you for taking my call, Mr. Lehman. I am a proud Iranian American.

[A]

Please take his number. Mr. Producer. I misread the clock. I'm out of time, folks. Sid, we'll get to you tomorrow, I promise. 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, and you, the American people, thank God for you. I'll see you right here tomorrow. Be well.
