Hello America. Mark Levin Here, our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811. Well, I suppose I can't really blame or criticize the media for what is seems like the non stop coverage of the Nancy Guthrie situation. It is compelling. And there is some breaking news now with the video, a video that the technicians have obviously been working on the FBI and the private sector at some level, extensively, apparently to recover some of the video after the perpetrator apparently pulled it out of the wall or whatever he did. And it is interesting to see what they found and I think just a matter of time now. And we pray that she's alive. It's a long time to go without her heart meds. And there was blood and God knows what the hell happened. God knows what the hell happened. It's very sad. And so are the other people who were murdered today. I'm not saying she was murdered. I'm just saying families that have been destroyed and those who were destroyed over the weekend. It is odd though, just as a commentator, just as a viewer, a thinker, which individuals, which families, which lives seem to draw the most attention. I mean it, or even if we're not talking about that, look at this ICE situation. Virtually every single mishap by ice, which is completely understandable given the number of people they're dealing with, illegal aliens that the Democrats let in. And also given the extent of the chaos as a result of unconstitutionally separatist sanctuary cities and states, from time to time they get the wrong person because they're not getting help in this situation. It's very dangerous when they're picking people up. And so the media is all over that and they're being fed this information by immigration lawyers, by immigration front groups, by radical left wing activists because they don't know on their own anything. They're fed this information. But how many reports did we see today on the number of people who were raped by illegal aliens? None. How many reports did we see today on the number of people who are killed by illegal aliens? None. How many reports have we seen today on the number of women who were sold into sex slavery in the prior regime? None. Or the children who are missing under the prior regime? None. Funny, in a sick way, isn't it how the media focus because the media don't care anymore. They know that we know that they're left wing, that they're Democrat, that they are a mouthpiece for the Democrat party. When the Democrat party controls government, they're a mouthpiece for government. That's what they are. So all the inhumanity that occurred up to this point gets almost no attention. And all the inhumanity that is occurring at this point makes ICE look like a bunch of boy and girl scouts. Many of them are or were the Democrat run cities where you have gangs slaughtering people. Chicago, every damn weekend gets barely any attention. In fact, it's gotten no attention, really. And we can go on. Seven years ago today, my mother passed away three days shy of her 89th birthday. I think about my parents a lot because I wouldn't be who I am without them. They taught me principles. They taught me to be a gentleman. They taught me to confront and take on the bullies. They taught me to love my country, to love my faith. They taught me to be friendly to friends and wary of enemies. They were tremendous patriots, tremendous patriots. And I often wonder, because my mother passed away about five months after my father, what they think about what's going on in this country today. My father passed October 15th, seven years ago, seven and a half now my mother, seven years ago from today. The Islamists weren't on the run. We didn't have the river to the sea, violent protests taking place. The virulent anti Semitism was obviously under the radar. But that said, you didn't see it, you didn't feel it most of the time, I think they'd be very upset. I'm glad they didn't have to see it. I truly am. So when I see these things about death and mothers being, I don't know, kidnapped, killed, whatever makes me think about this. And these are the principles and values and traditions that I hold. We spent a little time today, really three of us, preparing for the video podcast, or vodcast I guess they call it, that we're going to launch on Tuesday. And we taped some of the clips that we'll be releasing soon. And I hope you'll watch it, I hope you'll join us. And one of the points I mentioned and I want to mention to you is why would I do this now? I have a fantastic radio program, fantastic TV program. I write my books. Why? Well, part of the reason I discussed last evening, I see an overlap with radio and TV and these, these video podcasts where one can grow the other. And I believe in that to get to as many people as I can because I'm mission oriented. I'm an activist for our country. The name of the program is Liberty's Voice with Mark Levin. Liberty's Voice. That is a name that we protected legally about a decade ago when I started Conservative Review tv. And it is a name I've always wanted to use. And we're using it now for the video podcast. This will launch on Tuesday about 12pm Eastern time. Normally it'll be Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but next week it'll be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. But why did I do it from a substantive point of view? I don't need any more work, I don't need any more money. I'm putting money into it. I don't know if money will ever come out of it. I don't want any billionaires or millionaires funding me. I don't want any people with contacts with foreign governments funding me. This is an entrepreneurial endeavor, just as Conservative Review TV was an entrepreneurial endeavor. That's it. Entrepreneurial. This is pure Americanism. And I'm going to tell you a couple of the reasons I believe the podcasting. Not every podcaster obviously, but the industry generally is a cesspool. There are some great standouts, but they're the exception. The level of profanity, immaturity by middle aged people, the level of. Un Americanism, Marxism, Islamism, wokeism, fascism, racism, bashing of Jews, bashing of Christians, bashing of our heritage. Somebody's got to confront this on a regular, sustained basis. Somebody's got to confront this. Now, I don't have any video out there. I do my Fox show. And so what I'm hoping to do is build a juggernaut, a big number of viewers who will also listen to radio, watch Fox, but also to go into a place where I feel Americanism is not being properly explained except by a handful of or properly promoted and expanded and growing. And so I have to take the careers that I have, the background that I have, the experience I have, the knowledge I have, and use it and use it before I hang it up. And that day will come. And so I want it to be entertaining and intriguing. I hope the radio show is as well, hope the TV show is as well. But I can do things in more of a observable way where many people wonder, well, how does he look when he says that? And how does he do this without, you know, without the trappings of a network, a TV network or something like that? Do it. My 100%, my way. And I want to convey and promote the principles and the values that I was raised with. And I want to take on the guys that think smoking pot during their podcast is really cool are the older women who think dropping the F bomb in every other sentence is an audience grabber, or the bigots and the racists who pretty much have not completely, but pretty much have had free reign and the so called influences. It's time to advance Americanism, Judeo Christian values, individual liberty, American sovereignty, constitutionalism in a way that's never been done before. I'll be right back. I could be wrong. I think it was Representative Anna Paulina Luna, AKA becoming increasingly Luna Tick at Turning Point usa, going on about the neocons. When you hear people use that word, understand their low iq, understand. They don't understand what a neocon is. And so from this moment forward, I call these people just cons. Okay, Neo Khan. No, they are cons. Like Anna Palima or Paluna Luna Tika. Sloganeering is what Marxists do. Sloganeering. When you're confronting a country like, well, a regime like Iran and you're still rambling on about neocons and forever wars, you're a lunatic. Iran's been doing what it's doing 47 years. So forever wars means what? Appeasement. This is the appeasement crowd, some of whom are within the Republican Party, but they're more and more part of the woke. Right. So they throw around that you must be a neocon. Yeah. Intellectually devoid of substance. Forever wars. We're not involved in any forever wars. Now, do they know what a forever war is? Do they? Or we could have a 32nd war with nuclear missiles. Do they prefer that? You see the stupidity of the jargon, the sloganeering like they're Marxists, the abuse of the language so it's substantive people. And by the way, if it wasn't her, many apologies, but I think I heard it was her. But she's not alone. There's a little cabal just like this and they're going to get our kids killed and our grandkids killed. They're going to get our men and women in the military killed because the enemy builds up stronger and stronger and stronger and makes it impossible to deal with it. I don't know what it's going to take. You have a regime that's an Islamist regime that threatens to kill us, that keeps building nuclear weapons, more and more ballistic missiles, and it's the neocons who are the problem. No, it's the cons who are the problem. Like you, honey. I'll be right back. Mark Levin, tough as hell. That's why I like Mark Levin. And I'm not sure a lot of people like him. He's tough as hell. But I like him. I love him. Call in now. 877-381-3811. All right. If anything changes with the Nancy Guthrie story, I promise you I will be the first to tell you. What I'm not going to do is 14 different possibilities with 15 different experts. I just can't do it. I just can't do it. I don't even think it's respectful, perfectly honest. And by the way, this site, Media ITE has absolutely, collectively, with a couple of exceptions, lost what little minds they actually had to begin with. It's just sick. Every damn thing a conservative says or about the Epstein matter or Trump or something like that. It's just so pathetically partisan. Right? Kobe, Hall, Colby. And you're such a pseudo intellectual. You really are. So profound is your nitwittery. I stopped reading it. I did. I don't even waste my time anymore. I just read these, these National Enquirer type headlines that your boy Dan Abrams wants and loves. We need our grifters, huh? We need our hits and our eyes. These are what we call influencers, ladies and gentlemen. At least we don't call them neocons. New York Times has a piece here, and I expect it from the New York Times because it has done a hell of a job early in its years promoting slavery, covering up the genocide against Ukrainians in 1932, covering up the Holocaust, the genocide against Jews and others, but especially Jews in Germany and throughout Europe helped install Fidel Castro, it's true, in Cuba and of course promoted Hamas's statistics, which were flat out lies, ran with phony photos, ran with anti Semitic cartoons. This is the New York Slimes so near. Today it has a headline by a guy named J. David Goodman. Without a border invasion, quote unquote, Texas GOP turns an old enemy. Excuse me, turns an old enemy Islam. Republican officials and candidates in Texas have shifted their rhetorical attack line. And this is supposed to be reported. It's not an opinion piece from the border fears that dominated recent elections to the state's growing Muslim population with language that echoes the aftermath of the terror attacks on 9 11. That one sentence has more bullcrap in it than I can even count the echoes the aftermath of the terror attacks on 9 11. I would say we were incredibly restrained, were we not? Yes, I think we were. The rise of anti Muslim rhetoric as under many in the state's Islamic community, while sending signals to Republicans outside Texas who might be searching for rhetorical targets now that the nation's southwestern border has grown quiet. What's shifting here are the media. They go from one lie to the next. I played you clips yesterday. I've played you clips before that. I played clips before that. That of what comes out of the mouths of these imams and these so called scholars and these mayors and care, including in and around Plano, Texas. That should be the story. Look what's happened to Europe. That should be the story. Look what's happened to Dearborn, Michigan, Patterson, New Jersey and a dozen other cities like New York. Ads for Senator John Conant of Texas have touted his fight against radical Islam. Why is that a problem? Texas Republican lawmakers created a Sharia Free American Caucus in Congress. Excellent. Thank you. Governor Greg Abbott is labeled one of the nation's largest Muslim rights groups, a terror organization. That's cairn. Notice they're not going to mention care, are they? Care, a front group for Hamas, which is actually labeled a terror group in several countries. Its affiliates are. Just. On Monday, the state's hard right, Attorney general, Ken Paxton. Hard right. Hard right. You know, now they've never found a hard left attorney general, a Marxist or an Islamist, even though they are Marxists and Islamists. He announced he would investigate a proposed real estate development in Kaufman county, east of Texas as a potentially illegal Sharia city. And he just leaves it there. This report. Well, is it so the reporter favors segregated communities that practice Sharia law and he knows nothing about the ideology. Nothing. This is your typical fat ass liberal. The attacks on Islam are a notable shift for a party that spent the last several election cycles focused on the Mexican border. Well, why is there a notable shift? Number one, Donald Trump has secured the border. Number two, there's not a shift. We want illegal aliens removed from the country. And what else? What else is? Number three, the Islamists are on the move and we happen to notice it because they tell us what they think. And the New York Times is censor, censoring it. The New York Times is censoring it. That's better. That has left the GOP looking for ways to address its voters concerns over the number of immigrants who came into the country during the Biden administration. This is written like a true propagandist. J. David Goodman is good for nothing reporting from the suburbs north of Dallas and Fort Worth. Does he live there? No. Concern in Texas about Islamic radicalism has recently been polling among the top issues for Republican voters. It should be the top issue for all voters. The state party put a resolution in its primary ballot asking whether Texas should prohibit Sharia law, a term that refers to Islamic religious rules, but has long served as a catch law to signify expansions of Muslim culture and religion that opponents say threaten American values. This man has no knowledge about jihadism. Islamism, These. He is the useful idiot that is targeted by the Islamists, that is targeted by the countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia. He is the useful idiot. Listen to this. I'm shocked and I'm offended by my own elected leaders, said State representative Salman Bahajani, a Democrat from Dallas Fort Worth area and one of two Muslims in the Texas State House. I can bring many Muslims on this program who are reformists, who would agree with 100% of what Texas is trying to do because reformist Muslims are abused like hell. These are Muslims that assimilate into our country. The resurgence of anti Muslim sentiment can be traced in part to the suburbs of Dallas, Fort Worth. It's called Plano, Texas. And this is where they're trying to build this massive Islamist segregated, Sharia led community. If you're one of these morons who simply reads the New York Times for your news, that's what you're going to believe. You won't understand what the hell is going on. You won't understand a damn thing. A proposal just over a year ago to create a large housing development or mosque outside Dallas known as Epic City alarmed many Republicans who saw it as a prime example of the growing prominence of Islam in Texas and helped propel the issue to the top of Republican voters concerned. So here we are. They're turning this into a civil rights movement and you, Mr. And Mrs. America into bull Connor. That's what they're trying to do. You're going to hear Islamophobia. That was invented. No knowledge whatsoever of what's actually taking place and they don't care. This is why Europe, much of it mostly Western, has been conquered. Because a holes like this phony reporter J. David Goodman and the New York slimes. Because the left is weak. Because the Democrats are not only weak, they're power hungry. And they see this as a power base. And this is their next quote unquote civil rights issue. It destroyed London, it's destroyed 10 of the biggest cities among them in Great Britain. It's destroyed much of Paris and much of France. He talks about Sharia, but he doesn't talk about Sharia. He just Mentions it, he doesn't explain it. But I'm going to read something to you after the break that explains it because this guy is a buffoon. J. David Goodman, New York Slimes. Guys like him, the Islamists rely on and depend on. They know what the left is like. They know the left will do everything possible to accommodate them. They will vote for the left. They will vote for Democrats, even though they hate them too. Even though they hate them too. They hate the party system. They hate our political system. They hate it all. They hate our government, the Islamists. And they know. They know the left will wave them in just like the left waved him in over the border. And so they vote Democrat. Wouldn't you, if you were them? I'll be right back. US Must reject Sharia totalitarianism in the Jewish News Service piece. Brilliant piece. And I'm going to talk to you about it because this is the truth about what we have to fear, not this New York Times crap. They covered up the Holocaust against the Jews. They covered up the Holocaust against the Ukrainians. They helped install Castro in Cuba. They covered up, in part the Holocaust by Hamas. This is a very nasty media corporation, the New York Slimes. Very, very nasty. I'm going to start this piece, but I won't be able to finish it because this gentleman who wrote this piece, Andrew Bostam, who's very well known, he's authored books on Islam, six books, including Sharia versus Freedom in 2012 in A Modern Quranic Comp against the Jews, 2026. You should listen to him. This guy in the New York Times is an ignoramus. Let's start it and we'll finish it next hour. The proliferation of semi autonomous Muslim majority communities in Western Europe applying aspects of Sharia, Islamic law jurisdiction, has alerted some US lawmakers to this same developing phenomenon in America. Really, whatever position the New York Times takes, America or the press, we want to take the opposite position. During a February 10 hearing titled Sharia Free why Political Islam and Sharia Law Are Incompatible with the US Constitution. Thank me. Thank me. I'm the one who first wrote about that in my books. But anyway, the U.S. house Subcommittee on the Constitution will examine about the potential threat Sharia poses to the basic freedoms underpinning our constitutional republic. I guarantee you the New York Times wouldn't have a reporter there. Sharia is derived from Islam's most important foundational texts, the Quran and hadith. The hadith is the canacle collections of the Muslim prophet Muhammad's deeds and pronouncements and their Interpretation and codification by Islam's greatest classical legisl. Not merely holistic in the general sense of all encompassing. It is totalitarian, regulating everything from the ritual aspects of religion to personal hygiene to the governance of a Muslim minority community or an Islamic state, block of states or global Islamic order. You know who else noticed this? Mr. Producer Alexis de Tocqueville. He wrote about it in Democracies, two volumes of democracy. At its core it demonstrates the yawning gap between Western and Islamic conceptions of freedom. Haria in Arabic. Indeed, following Sharia slavishly throughout one's life was paramount to Hiria, whose essence was pronounced by the 11th century Sufi scholar and Al Khushyari as quote, the perfection of slavery to Allah and his religious law, unquote. Clearly, Sharia based governance is the most troubling contemporary aspect of this Muslim conception of organizing society, being an ancient antecedent of more familiar modern totalitarian systems. Specifically Sharia's liberty crushing and dehumanizing. You know, it would be funny if we had this reporter Goodman from the New York Times on this program where we could discuss strict Sharia's treatment of women. What do you think about that? Or children for that matter. Specifically, Sharia's liberty crushing and dehumanizing political aspects feature open ended jihadism to subjugate the world to a totalitarian Islamic order. Rejection of bedrock Western liberties including freedom of conscience and speech. I thought they liked that over the New York Times. Enforced by imprisonment, beating or death. Discriminatory relegation of non Muslims to outcasts, vulnerable pariahs and of even Muslim women to subservient chattel. Is that okay? New York Times? And barbaric mandatory hard punishments which violate human dignity such as amputation for theft, stoning for adultery and lashing for alcohol consumption. Now writing in the early 1950s, Robert H. Jackson, a Democrat who was an Attorney General, an Attorney General under fdr, great man, by the way, who became an Associate justice of the Supreme Court. He also serves as the Chief US Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials. Elucidated succinctly how liberty crushing Sharia was the antithesis of Western law. You want to hear what he said? You want to know what a great scholar, humanitarian, legal mind who was the Attorney General for a period of time to fdr, was the lead prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials, became Associate justice of the Supreme Court. You want to know what he said about Sharia law? Well, I have to do it after the top of the hour. We'll be right back. This segment of the podcast is exclusively sponsored by Pure Talk.

Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811. By the way, for the morons on X I never said I stopped watching football. Talking about I condemned the kneeling. I never stopped watching football. Stupid people. All right, let's get back to reality. Writing in the early 1950s, Robert H. Jackson, Associate justice of the U.S. supreme Court, who also serves as the chief U.S. prosecutor the Nuremberg Trials, was also an attorney general and a damn good one, elucidated succinctly how liberty crushing Sharia was the antithesis of Western law. I have to ask Justice Jackson and so many others who are not Republicans, who are not right wingers or neocons or conservatives who are highly critical of Sharia law. Lexis de Tocqueville I can go on and on, and I maybe I will Are they not to be taken seriously? Or we're supposed to take some clown at the New York Times seriously who doesn't even explain what Sharia law is? Here's what Justice Jackson wrote. Islamic Law Sharia offers the American lawyer a study in dramatic contrasts. Its striking features relative to our law are not likenesses but inconsistencies in its source, its scope, and its sanctions. The law of the Middle east is the antithesis of Western law. Islamic law finds its chief source in the will of Allah as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It contemplates one community of the faithful, though they may be of various tribes and in widely separated locations. Religion, not nationalism or geography, is the cohesive force. The state itself is subordinate to the Koran, which leaves little room for additional legislation, none for criticism or dissent. It is not possible to separate political or jurisdiction or juristic theories from the teachings of the Prophet, which establish rules of conduct concerning religious, domestic, social and political life. This results in a law of duties rather than rights. And here we have the New York Times defending it and trashing people who are informed about this, opposing it, seeing what's going on in Europe, seeing what's going on in the Middle east and saying no, no, hell no. Then the author of the piece, Andrew Bostam at JNS, he goes on alarmingly Since 1990 the organization of the Islamic Conference Cooperation, the largest voting bloc in the United nations has been pushing a Sharia based framework for quote unquote human rights, the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, which would abrogate existing instruments much more protective of human freedom and dignity, such as the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the best such instrument, the US Bill of Rights. Hard data from Muslim societies illustrate plausibly the unacceptable non Muslim religious persecution of bigotry that adoption of the Sharia based legal framework and accompanying mores of the Kayo Declaration would engine would engine would engender. Muslim societies that embrace Sharia overall or regarding the enforcement of Islamic blasphemy law have the worst global Christian persecution indices and harbor populations with the highest prevalence by far of extreme anti Semitism. All right, I got to put my new reading glasses on. Did you know I got new reading glasses, Mr. Medusa? I never had reading glasses. I've been using a whatever. Now I will put them on so I can read the latter. Disproportionate extreme anti Semitism exhibited by Muslim is now manifest in Muslim Diaspora diaspora populations of both Western Europe and the United States. You have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see it and hear it. Concerning data from a nationally representative sample, Muslims surveyed in September 2024 revealed 50% favored Sharia blasphemy law that is making it illegal to show a picture of cartoon of Muhammad. 39% supported broad application of the Sharia. That's four out of ten. And 33% wanted Islam declared as a national religion. That's one out of three for the new York Times. I close with a plaintive 2011 warning from Pakistani Bishop Michael Nazir Ali, who immigrated to the United Kingdom and became the first non white Bishop Dossian bishop in the Church of England. He said this quote at its heart, Sharia has basic inequalities between Muslims and non Muslims and between men and women. The problem with Sharia law being used in tribunals in Britain is that it compromises the tradition of equality for all under the law. It threatens the fundamental values that underpin our society. And yet the New York Times is all for it, literally trashing the great patriots of all faiths, including some Muslims who say no to these Sharia segregated communities that the Islamists are trying to set up outside Dallas, Fort Worth in Houston and Austin in Florida in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, in New Jersey, in New York City. Be brave, be strong. Speak out. Don't be intimidated. The New York Times is no different than the BBC was, no different than the French newspapers and the Swedish newspapers. All the same ideology, weak left wing pablum, no real support for Western society. This is when I talk about the Marxist Islamist fusion. The Marxists. The left lay the foundation for the Islamists. The Islamists will vote for the Democrats in the left or labor or the liberal parties throughout Europe because they know they're weak. They will capitulate, they will acquiesce, if not celebrate them, until it's too late. Until it is too late. There are 50,000 Muslims in Europe at the turn of the century. There are now 50 million the United States at the turn of this century. I dare say there were very, very few. And yet in about 10, 15 years, it'll be the second largest religion in America. If we didn't call it Islam and we called it something else, if we didn't call it a religion and we called it something else, what would the New York Times say then? You know what it'd say. Then it still would endorse it the way it covered up for the Nazis in World War II. It's sick. This is a sick corporation. The New York Times Corporation. It's a corporation. It's a corporation filled with a bunch of lunatics. And this is this is this. Let me pull this back here. Hold on. Now we go back to J. David Goodman at the New York Slimes. Let's see. Just over a year ago, a group of Muslim investors connected to a large mosque complex, the East Plano Islamic center, began raising money for Epic City, which led to a backlash among conservative activists. Protesters became a regular presence outside the mosque. Mohammad Ebidi, a research scientist who immigrated from Egypt, and often when he and his children would go to pray at the Plano center on Fridays, protesters told them they were going to hellfire. Do you want a society where every group alienates each other? He said. Mr. Abbott and Mr. Paxson began investigations. And he goes on, see the poor victims. The Islamists are the poor victims. Let me ask you something, Mr. Goodman. Why don't you go to Dearborn, Michigan and spend a month there and tell us the truth about what's taking place there? Or Patterson, New Jersey. Why don't you do that? Why don't you do that, Mr. Goodman? Until that you remain a fraud and a phony and a fool. And anybody who believes this guy or follows this guy, it is A disaster. The fact of the matter is, the New York Times readership is lower than ever before. And it's a good reason. They have helped pave the way. Pave the way to genocide in two countries, multiple countries in Europe. To genocide in Cuba. To genocide in the Middle east with Hamas slaughtering Israelis. All the news that's fit to print, those pages should be printed in red for all the blood the New York Times has helped cause in this world. I'll be right back. You know what Pure Talk's favorite holiday is? Presidents Day. Because they believe wireless service should only cost you a couple of presidents. Just a Jackson and a Lincoln, to be exact.

Now, here's the thing, America. We have what I call this ruling class. I don't call them elites. I call them elitists. And they don't have to just be politicians. They're people in faculty, academia, lawyers, perhaps judges, certainly reporters. And they have these positions where they can or try to influence the public. Our policies, our law. And they're letting us down. Obviously. Not all, but too many, if not most. Our media, for the most part, have let us down. You know, we had these independent platforms we thought would be great. And what did they produce? The Tucker Carlsons and the Steve Bannons. And they're making Kelly's and what else is out. They produce these people who are utterly worthless. And worse, in the case of Katarlson, he's a traitor. Gives aid and comfort to the enemy Islamists and worse. And then we have the New York Times that is literally trashing patriots who are trying to draw attention to what's happening in their communities and states and in the country. We see it with our own Two eyes. We hear it with our own two ears. We see it not just in Europe where it's utterly out of control, but we see it in communities in America in the effort to build more such communities. See, in the 1940s and 50s, the Democrats understood this. FDR understood this. Justice Jackson understood this. In the 1800s, Thomas Jefferson understood this. Alexis de Tocqueville understood this. We all understand it. We all understand it. I do not know what is worse. The Islamists are those who give aid and comfort to the Islamists. What's happening in the country is a matter of strategy. We know because they tell us. The New York Times doesn't write about their scholars, doesn't write about their strategists. It doesn't write about Sharia. It doesn't write about what happens to women and to children. It doesn't write any of that stuff. It doesn't write about what's happening in Europe today. It doesn't write about the virulent anti Semitism that is preached and taught every weekend in so many mosques. Says nothing, not a word. There they are based in New York City. It's all around them. The local government is heavily anti Semitic and anti American. That's where their corporation is based on, not necessarily where the reporters are, by the way. They can go in and send a reporter to Dearborn, Michigan. Tell us what's going on. Patterson, New Jersey. Tell us what's going on. Tell us or go to Europe. What's happened to Manchester? What's happened to London? What's happened to the country of Canada? The whole damn place? It's all around us. Now. The goal is, as I started this program as a parent, to teach your children right from wrong and to pass on to them a society is better than the one was passed on to you. We're not doing that. What exactly are we passing on to our kids 50 years from now? I mean, think about it. Oh, my God, I can't even imagine it. Between the Democrat Party, the Marxists and the Islamists are foreign enemies. So we have to take a stand. We have to take a stand. This isn't about conservatives or right wingers or Islamophobia. Christopher Hitchens pointed it out 20, 25 years ago. He's a leftist and he pointed it out. I besiege you, he says. I besiege you. Pay attention to what's going on. Understand what this ideology is. If we had an honest media that were actually explaining to the American people what was taking place, we'd be in much better shape. But they even platform these Islamists. That fat slob from Turkey, what's his name? Chunk or something or other. But he's not alone. There's many of them. They have a following and they pretend they're victims. And they run around accusing people of racism. Racism. None of them want to go back from where they came. None of them. None of them. We will not be intimidated. We might be de platformed, but we will not have our speech silenced. Not now, not ever. Boy, this SWAT team must be slow. Mr. Producer. They've been on the move for about two hours. You were thinking the same thing. It's the same pictures over and over again. There's the SWAT team just pointing it out. Do yourselves a favor. Read serious information. Don't allow some punk at the New York Times to tell you what to think or your family what to think. Go dig it up yourself. How many democracies are there where there's Islamist governments? Exactly zero. What are women's rights like in Islamist regimes? They're non existent. Women are treated worse than animals. What's due process? I love it when people come here from these places. We want our due process rights. They have no due process rights in Islamist regimes. A determination is made by the hierarchy. If you violated Sharia law and they, you know, execute whatever the law is that they believe it is, the New York Times wouldn't even exist in Islamist societies. Every one of them would be hanged. Every damn one of these buffoons. I'll be right back. You know what Pure Talk's favorite holiday is? Presidents Day. Because they believe wireless service should only cost you a couple of presidents.

We are conservatives, constitutional conservatives, and proud of it, unlike the cons, the lunatics and their type. Mark, why do you keep talking about. I don't keep talking about anything. I talk about what I think is important. I mean, we like to have fun too, don't get me wrong. Now we have something called the Save Act. I don't know what it means exactly, but it is properly named. It's Save the American Republic act is what it should be. And apparently it is very, very controversial to require proof of citizenship to vote. USA Today has a new angle, obviously handed to it with talking points from the Democrats that this legislation, America, would hamper the ability of married women to vote. So you married women out there, do you have driver's licenses? I'm just curious. Now, under Sharia law, many of you would not. I would remind the left and the New York slimes and their ilk, but how would requiring proof of citizenship hamper the ability of married women to vote? Does it hamper the ability of married women to get on airplanes, to buy beer, to drive a car? I mean, how stupid is that? Now keep in mind they can't get their fear mongering straight to my black friends out there, of which I have many, by the way. You were the first ones they were trying to upset and fear monger. Did you know that requiring evidence of citizenship like a driver's license is like Jim crow in the 1950s and early 60s? Oh yeah, like Jim Crow. The problem is they, they surveyed a significant black population. They found about 85% of them said, no, it's not. I have a driver's license, I can vote. Funny hearing all these white liberals make these arguments, isn't it? Although Hakeem Jeffries isn't a white liberal. He makes the. It's just like Jim Crow. Did you know a significant majority of Democrats believe you should have an ID to vote? So there they are again. Apparently the Democrats. Jim Crow 2.0. I love the way the Democrats refer to these racist periods in our history when it was them who were the racists during periods of our history. Not you and me, not our forefathers. Theirs. That's right. That's right. Every civil rights bill ever introduced in this country was backed by an overwhelming majority. Republicans. Period. Democrats can't say that. Jim Crow. That's them. The Klan. That's them. Segregation. That's them. Slavery. That's them again. It's amazing how They've been able to corrupt history in the minds of so many. And there they are, the New York Times. Their favorite newspaper might be Pravda. Now, I'm not sure, but the New York slimes, for sure. Yeah, yeah. Sharia law is okay. Islamism is okay. Unless, of course, you believe in liberty, freedom, free speech, freedom of association. You decide your own, your own decisions when it comes to going to the toilet or cooking your food, which hand you use for what are the children out there and the women out there. I bet if we put it to a vote, the vast majority of Americans would say, no, no, I don't want to do that. And so, even though this ideology is a totalitarian, racist, bigoted ideology against anybody who doesn't believe as they do, and that includes other Muslims, the New York Times says it's not a problem. I would ask all of you Cuban Americans, was the New York Times right about Castro? I would ask all of you Ukrainian Americans, was the New York Times right about Stalin? I would ask all my Jewish friends, even you liberals, was the New York Times right about censoring the Holocaust? Hmm? Was the New York Times right about Hamas figures and putting phony photographs on the front page and all that? Was that okay with all of you? And now we're going to believe the New York Times, but now it's controversial. It should be one citizen, one vote. That's it. You're not a citizen. You don't vote. If you're not a citizen and you do vote, you should go to prison. Because the Democrats don't really believe in the democratic process, let alone the Constitution. They don't believe in the democratic process, so they. What do they do? Effectively? They stuff the ballot boxes. Now, you might say, can you prove it? Of course I can prove it. When you oppose what is fundamentally a system of checks and balances against voting fraud, then you support fraud. It's that simple. If you don't have in place protections and safeguards for the banking system, then obviously you must support embezzlement, because what the hell else does it mean? They don't want illegal aliens to be deported. The open a border to 20 million illegal aliens, and now they don't want evidence, proof of citizenship. Now, if I'm a Democrat, I have a better idea. Here's my idea. Why waste your time with requiring people to come into the United States? Send them ballots overseas. What do you think of that, Mr. Producer? Send ballots to people all over the world and just tell them to vote? Why not? I'll be right back. You know what Pure Talk's favorite holiday is? 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. For $25 a month, Pure Talk gives you unlimited talk text, plenty of data. Now compare that to big wireless. They'd rather celebrate Benjamin Franklin Day so they can charge your family hundreds every month. And he wasn't even a president. That's not right.

Over at tmz, the reporting in the Nancy Guthrie case. The law enforcement believes the kidnappers from Tucson and there is some activity in that bitcoin account and they reported this three hours ago. Apparently we've seen activity for the first time in the Bitcom account listed in the first random note which was sent us here at TMZ and also to two TV stations in Tucson. For various reasons we're not going to reveal the amount but the activity happened in the last 25 minutes. Now that's about 4:30pm Pacific Time which means it's 7:34 Eastern Time. So that is recent, Mr. Producer. Just happened. Potentially big development. Our law enforcement sources say whoever kidnapped her from Arizona home is also from the Arizona area. All right. They're starting to really focus in on who it is. Multiple sources involved in the investigation tell TMZ the operating theory is that the ransom notes were written by the kidnapper and those notes provide clues on where the abductor lives. TMZ is focused for several days on the alleged kidnappers choice of media outlets to receive the letters. The first letter was sent to two Tucson TV stations and tmz. The second letter was sent only one of the Tucson stations. Interesting. My wife and I were in Tucson from we left on Tuesday. We returned this past Saturday. Actually our law enforcement sources believe the person who wrote the ransom note was very familiar with the local station. So much so that it leads them to believe the Tucson area is the abductors home. As we reported, TMZ says the kidnapper is promising to return Nancy to Tucson within 12 hours of receiving the $6 million ransom, which means they're currently somewhere within a 700 mile radius of Tucson. There were two to two ransom deadlines, both of which passed in even though Today host Savannah Guthrie tried reaching out to the kidnapper and offered to pay up. TMZ sources say the images the FBI released today of the apparent kidnapper were just obtained by authorities. The FBI wasn't holding onto the images before releasing them. The feds got them and immediately blast them out publicly. They apparently had to do a great deal of work to get the information off of the security devices because he had damaged them or pulled them out of the wall. But these devices apparently continue to create and retain information for a period of time and that's what they needed to do. Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will, they write on February 1st. She is a pacemaker and needs daily medication. I know what that feels like. That's why I'm worried about her well being, quite frankly. She's not having her heart medications and the bleeding and so forth and so on and the bad heart. It's been now, what, 10, 11 days? I'm not speculating, I'm just reading to you what there is. I don't like the speculation. I just don't. And it's just not what I do and it's not what I'm going to do. There were a couple of big hearings on Capitol Hill today involving ice. And the leaders of ICE and the leaders of our immigration system are very, very courageous, articulate, and that would include the secretary, dhs, Christine Oem, as far as I'm concerned, And Hakeem Jeffries on Ms. Now today again, he lets the cat out of the bag. I want you to listen to this. Cut 14, go.
- [67:29]
C
We as Democrats, we're going to always stand up for dreamers, stand up for farm workers, stand up for law abiding.
- [67:35]
A
Immigrants, stand up for women who are sold into sex slavery, stand up for unaccompanied children, 300,000 of whom went missing. Is that who you're standing up for? Farm workers? No, you're not. You're not standing up for anybody but your damn power hungry voting plan. Go ahead.
- [67:57]
C
Tributing to this country and so many meaningful ways. And the American people know it. Which is why.
- [68:02]
A
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You come in legally. We don't know that people are contributing 85% of the Somalis who are in this country in Minnesota are on welfare. I think we're contributing to them. Mr. Producer, about 80% of the Afghanis who are in Virginia are on some form of welfare. I think we're contributing to them, but that's irrelevant whether they're contributing or we're contributing. They're not here legally if they're here illegally. It's that simple. Go ahead.
- [68:33]
C
They supported the notion of targeting violent felons who are here illegally and figuring out a pathway towards citizenship for others who are here.
- [68:44]
A
All right, so stop. So here's what he means. Unless they've committed a crime, they should not be deported. That's not what the law says. If you're here illegally, you're supposed to be deported, number one. Number two, maybe they're going to commit a crime, but they get to stay because they wait. Number three, all these people who talk about overthrowing the country, these Islamists, you've heard them, these imams, these so called scholars, because they haven't actually committed a physical crime. They should be able to stay, too. I just want you to understand what Hakeem Jeffries is saying. All of them should get amnesty. All of them. That's the plan. That's the game plan. No voter id. Yes. The birthright citizenship, no deportation. That's it. He just laid it out. He just laid it out. Then we have these geniuses who are at the Olympics now. They're not at the intellectual Olympics, they're at the Olympics, the Winter Olympics. Now, I admire great athletes, but I don't admire great athletes who are stupid. That's a whole other story. Here we have the, the. What is it? The Ta Chuk brothers on Team USA Hockey at the Olympics. This is what Olympians for our country should say. Cut 15, go. I mean, this is.
- [70:22]
C
Being able to represent the US at this stage in the Olympics is one.
- [70:26]
A
Of the greatest honors that I've ever had. So I'm truly grateful to be here representing the Red, White and blues.
- [70:32]
C
I think it kind of means the world.
- [70:34]
A
It's really like a whirlwind of emotions.
- [70:37]
C
Flying here this morning.
- [70:38]
A
Hanging out in the village all day.
- [70:39]
C
And then, you know, getting fitted for our clothes and, you know, just meeting athletes and then coming here and practicing. And now it's all like, oh, my gosh, like day one's over.
- [70:49]
A
Like, it's kind of crazy.
- [70:49]
C
So, really enjoying the experience so far and having a lot of fun.

And God bless you, too. You haven't heard the others, have you? I'm not going to play them. They're punks Richard Ruhanan. You're punk. You're a punk. Mm. And he's not alone. Narcissistic, self aggrandizing, self promoting. You represent the United States. That's why you're there. You don't represent yourself. That's the bottom line. The power hour is next. I shall return. With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago, is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal strong security. But Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity, and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate 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. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. Learn more@guardyourcard.com that's Guard your paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition.

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

A
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 877-381-3811. Hello, hello, hello. 877-381-3811. Beyond what we've already discussed, nothing new in the Nancy case. Guthrie case. The Nancy Guthrie case. I'm watching it. We brought you up to speed, but there's no point in speculating and repeating myself, so I won't. We have a great guest coming up in a few minutes, our friend Byron Donalds. And we'll have a chat with him. But before we do, I want to make somebody famous. Or more likely, infamous. Her name is Carrie Prejean Buller. The President has set up a Religious Liberty Commission. I don't know how she got on there, but during most of the hearings of the commission, she sounded like Tucker Carlson in drag. She sounded like Marjorie Traitor in Greene. She sounded like a spokesman for Hamas. Obviously, this person wasn't vetted properly. She shouldn't be anywhere near a Religious Liberty Commission. Here's what she said in part cut 1. Go.
- [74:26]
D
You describe very painful experiences at UCLA, and I take that very serious. At the same time, many of the students who have spoken to me.
- [74:34]
A
Excuse me, excuse me. We don't take it very serious, do we, Mr. Producer? We take it very seriously. Just saying not to nitpick. Start from the top, please. Go.
- [74:48]
D
You describe very painful experiences at ucla, and I take that very serious. At the same time, many of the students who I've spoken to personally created, who created those encampments say that they were protesting the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and their university's financial ties to that war. So I need to ask you, in a country built on religious liberty in the First Amendment, do you believe someone can stand firmly against anti Semitism, including what you experienced, and at the same time condemn the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza or reject political Zionism or not support the political state of Israel?
- [75:26]
A
Isn't that clever? Political Zionism, like political Islam, Mr. Producer? See, Israel is a democracy. It's got a significant Christian population even as a bigger Arab Muslim population. They have elections. They have Muslim and Arab judges. They protect the holy sites of not just the Jews, but Christians and Muslims. They don't start wars. They have to defend themselves in order to protect themselves. And you listen to this tripe. Listen to this tripe. Go ahead.
- [76:02]
D
Do you believe that speaking out about what many Americans view as genocide in Gaza should be treated as.
- [76:08]
A
There was no genocide in Gaza. And you're giving this speech even now that Hamas has admitted that 80% of the deaths were their terrorist militia. They just admitted it. But she doesn't care. Go ahead.
- [76:24]
D
Because in my view, the United States cannot and must not make loyalty to a particular theology about Israel a litmus test.
- [76:31]
A
Nobody's making loyalty to a theology about Israel a litmus test. People can say and do whatever they want, and they are, but so can I. And I can call out bigots and anti Semites and racists and liars if that's what they are. Go ahead.
- [76:54]
D
For protected speech or moral legitimacy.
- [76:58]
E
Charlie Kirk said that Jew hate is brain rot. Some people don't have brains. I don't need. I'm not going to assist them in setting a double standard for the Israeli government and the Jewish people as they fight to defend themselves. These were students calling for intifada within days after October 7, before Israel had even entered Gaza. So it's not about them and their using Palestinian civilian death, which is horrendous and horrible. They're using it as a prop and it doesn't matter. My religious beliefs are violated. You don't get to block me because I'm Zionist and a Jew. You want to Protest Israel, great, 100%. Go ahead and do it. But the university let them wear masks even though there's a mask ban. They violated all time, place and manner restrictions. Amplified sounds, went on for years. They kept doing this time after time again. And that's what the judge saw and said, that's not okay. They can protest, they can't block Jews and you can't assist them in doing it.
- [78:00]
A
It's very complicated, isn't it? Carrie Prijin Bowler. Here's Rabbi Ari Berman and Kerry Brejean Bowler, appointed by the Trump administration, shockingly cut to go.
- [78:17]
D
So by not being a Zionist, does that make you an anti Semite?
- [78:21]
E
I don't think you need to be a Zionist to support a country that defends itself and is free and religious in a hostile neighborhood.
- [78:29]
D
So is anti Zionism.
- [78:31]
C
One second.
- [78:31]
A
Yes, it is. It is. Yes.
- [78:36]
F
To take that point for a second, let me back up.
- [78:39]
A
I didn't want to step over that answer. I didn't know you were still. Both of you still talking.
- [78:42]
D
So just to be clear, is anti Zionism anti Semitism? Yes, it is. Under IHRA.
- [78:49]
A
That's like saying, is anti Vaticanism anti Catholicism? Mr. Producer, you're Catholic. Is anti Vaticanism the center where the Pope lives, the center of the Catholic faith? If you're anti Vaticanism, are you anti Catholic? I would say you are. Doesn't mean you have to agree with the Pope or everything that comes out of the Vatican. But if you're anti Vaticanism, you're anti Catholicism. Go ahead. You're up next.
- [79:23]
D
You're not sure. So what is the definition?
- [79:24]
F
I want to speak to that. Undoubtedly, anti Zionism is anti Semitism. And undoubtedly. And one does not have to support the specific policies of the government of Israel, but to not support the right of Israel to exist.
- [79:44]
A
Stop right there. That's the point. What is Zionism? It means simply the right for Israel to exist. That's all it means. That's all it means. And they've tried to turn it into a dirty word. So if you're anti the right of Israel to exist, that doesn't mean you're anti Jewish. Course it does. Half the Jews in the world live there. It's the Jewish state, like the Vatican is the Catholic state. And I can go into other religions and their states and so forth and so on. So of course it is. This is a. This is a game played by the anti Semites and the bigots. Go ahead, Zionist. Do I remind her that it was blacks, Catholics and Jews who were the main targets of the Klan? Blacks, Catholics and Jews were the main targets of the Klan. Go ahead.
- [80:41]
F
Not taking that same stand to the 28 Muslim countries and 13 Christian countries in this world is a double standard, is hypocrisy and is absolutely anti Semitism.
- [80:55]
D
I think it's also important that we not make Islamophobic remarks while we're here today. I would appreciate that.
- [81:01]
A
Ah, Islamophobic remarks. She throws that out there. Just remember what Christopher Hitchens said. This is a new word that's been invented. So now you can't criticize Islam and what it does to women and children unless you also criticize Israel and Judaism. Well, what does it do to women and children? She's a bigot in my humble opinion. Go ahead.
- [81:30]
F
I just want to say God forbid was anything like that said. But if you deny, if the Jewish people are the only people that you deny the right to have a. To have its own state. That is absolutely a double standard. Hypocrisy and anti Semitism.
- [81:47]
D
Well, as you know, I'm a Catholic. I'm a Catholic.
- [81:50]
A
By the way, she's a recent Catholic. Did you read that, Mr. Producer? A few months ago. A few months ago. But go ahead.
- [82:01]
D
Let's do not embrace Zionism. Just so you know. So is. Are all Catholics, by the way.
- [82:06]
A
A lot of Catholics I know, including Mr. They embrace the existence of the state of Israel. In fact, almost every Catholic I know does. So who's she speaking for? The recent convert to Catholicism. Go ahead.
- [82:22]
F
As I said, anti. Anti Zionism by denying the right of the Jews to have their own state while not saying the same for any other peoples. That is a double standard. Hypocrisy and anti Semitism.
- [82:37]
A
She's the only one that's been hammering away on this position. Hammering away, hammering away. And people are wondering how the hell did she get through the vetting process? She sounds like care. Maybe she was a. Oh, and you know who she listens to daily? She said, Mr. Producer. Candace Owens. Candace Owens. I'll be right back.

All right. Looking for something here, Mr. Mrs. America. One moment, hold on. Here we go. Ballistic missiles in Iran Alarming restoration of ballistic missiles. This in part is what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is going to present to President Trump, according to a published report. And they have all the intelligence. These ballistic missiles, you know, are big as a yellow school bus and they have quite a punch. According to foreign sources, Iran could possess another 2,000 ballistic missiles in the north term in the near term. Byron Donalds, how are you, sir?
- [84:40]
C
Doing good, Mark. How are you?
- [84:42]
A
I'm doing well. I want to hit a few subjects with you. Let's start with that one. I mean, I don't know. It seems to me that at some point this regime in Iran needs to be taken out. And if not now, when they're weaker than ever before, the people there want to overthrow them. And I just fear that our children and grandchildren are going to be confronted by a regime with all these ballistic missiles. They're going to have 10, 20,000 of them by that time and multiple nuclear warheads. Everybody's not President Trump. Everybody's not going to stop them. What do you make of this?
- [85:15]
C
Well, Mark, I think your assessment is correct. The Iranians have never been our friends. What they've relied on is weak leadership in Washington, D.C. and quite frankly in the Oval Office. Now, that's not President Trump, but the Iranians, quite frankly, they love to play the stall tactics so that they can get to weak American leadership potentially and it allows them to move further. They do have nuclear ambitions. That hasn't stopped. They want to be able to reach our coasts. That hasn't stopped. And I think what needs to occur, even if you don't get to regime change, is a clear understanding between, you know, political leadership in the United States, no matter what your party is, that a nuclear Iran is a direct and grave threat to America. That just needs to be understood. It can't be negotiated with.
- [86:04]
A
The problem is, you know, we had deal after deal after deal with North Korea, both parties, the United States, Europe, the United nations and over about a 20 year period. And of course, that regime's been here, that is the Iranian for 47 years. And they're getting help from North Korea, among others, China and so forth. They just lie. So I just don't buy this. I just don't this agreement stuff. An agreement. If you're an Islamist and you're an ideologue and you live for death and you believe your God tells you you must destroy the west, particularly the United States, the Christians, the Jews, Muslims who don't agree with us, they must be obliterated. The more powerful the weapon, the better. And if you're running a regime in Iran where you just slaughtered at least 50,000 of your own people and you'd slaughter a million if you had to, they're not going to think twice about firing a nuclear missile here. So I'm very concerned about paper agreements. And I don't think in the end that Donald Trump's going to go with that. I think in the end he's probably going to pull the trigger.
- [87:09]
C
That would be my hope, to be honest with you. And I think this is where, you know, at the end of the day, foreign policy is really the judgment of the commander in chief. But, Mark, you're right in negotiating with who, negotiating over what, they're not going to follow through with their end of the bargain. That's just the way it is. And, you know, I have a simple. When I was in business, the philosophy was simple. You don't negotiate with crazy because you can't count on them to actually live up to their end of the bargain. You don't negotiate with crazy, period.

I remember Thatcher talking about the enemies there, and I played it. Do you have that, Mr. Producer? Are you able to pull that up quickly? And, you know, they had these great debates, and they still do, but really great. When Thatcher was there in parliament and they were pressing her to negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. And she says, negotiate about what? Negotiate for what? I mean, some of these regimes just need to be defeated when we find it. I'll play that for you. Let's move on. Why is this save act considered controversial? Oh, you do have it. Go ahead, then. As Winston Churchill said in the 30s, if you give in to aggression, there will be no end to the humiliation you will have to suffer. Some people suggest there should be negotiations. What is there to negotiate about? You don't negotiate with someone who marches into another country, devastates it, killing whoever he stands in his way. You get him out, you make him pay, and see that he is never in a position to do these things again. See, Congressman, from my perspective, if this negotiation is a head fake, but it's going on a long time, I understand that. But, you know, negotiation for negotiation's sake, I talk, I tell people, we hear this word warmonger. You know, there's such a thing as diplomacy mongering and some people believe in that and they just pursue it. You know, the Biden regime, that's all they did. Diplomacy mongers plus money. So I think we agree on this. Let's move on to the SAVE Act. The SAVE act says basically you got to show me some idea that you're a citizen before you vote. And so far the Democrats have tried to upset minorities by saying it's like, what do they say it's like discrimination. What's that? Jim Crow? Now there's an article, Byron Donalds that says married women would have more difficulty voting. Isn't this pathetic?
- [89:48]
C
It's very pathetical. What do you expect from the left, Mark? What is the last public policy argument that the Democrats actually were right on? They're wrong on every public policy issue. There's the outcome of their actions we saw that during the Biden years were disastrous for America. What they are trying to do is to create an emotional argument that doesn't make sense logically is no basis in fact. Now they're trying to say you're going to make it harder on married women to vote. Simply not true. I think that's ridiculous. At the end of the day, you have to prove you're an American if you're going to vote in our elections. And you got to have a government issued voter ID or driver's license to prove you are who you say you are. This is why 80% of the American people support this. 80% of black people, 80% of Hispanic people, 80% of white people, everybody agrees except the Democrats. And the reason they don't agree is not about voting. It is about power. They don't agree because they are trying to make sure that they have an opportunity to win elections into the future so they can push their crazy agenda. And look Mark, real quick for my friends in the Senate, my Republican friends in the Senate, they have to stop acting like this is 1990. They're not negotiating with Bill Clinton, they're negotiating with Elizabeth Warren and AOC and Bernie and Mamdani and Walls in Minnesota. These people are radicals. They are the Democrat socialists of America, not the old school Democrat party. And they got to wake up and realize what's going on.

A
If you can hold, hold on. Congressman, I've got a few more questions for you. If people want to help you, where do they go?
- [91:30]
C
Byron donalds.com, very simple.
- [91:32]
A
Byron donalds.com byron donalds.com we'll be right back with our friend Emoji moment from Sadie, who writes, I'm not crying, you're crying. This is what I said during my.

G
First appointment with my physician at Mochi.
- [91:49]
A
Because I didn't have to convince him.
- [91:51]
G
I needed a GLP one. He understood and I felt supported, not judged. I came for the weight loss and stayed for the empathy.

B
My put then the thunder on the right. Call in now. 877-338-13811 Byron Donalds, what do you make.
- [92:21]
A
Of what seems to be a strategic effort by Islamists, including overseas, to place sort of these segregated Sharia communities around the country? There's a number of them popping up in Texas. There's a couple starting to pop up in Florida. We see some in Michigan and New Jersey now, one in Pennsylvania. What do you make of this?
- [92:46]
C
The first thing I make is, Mark, is that the Islamist, the Muslim Brotherhood, when they talk about jihad, they mean it and they're serious about this. It's not all by, you know, terrorist activity and suicide bombers. It's also by infiltration. And I think that in America, we have to be very serious about, number one, looking at what's happened to Western Europe and number two, making sure that we're prepared to battle this. Sharia law is incompatible with the United States Constitution. It is incompatible with Western civilization. And so I think Americans writ large, this is way beyond Republicans and Democrats and independents. We're going to have to make a decision as a society and as a culture. Are we going to make sure we stop this before it even begins, or are we going to be overrun? I choose to stand up against it and fight it because we cannot maintain what's made America great. With Sharia moving strongly in America the way it's moved strongly in Western Europe.
- [93:49]
A
What do you think our children and grandchildren are going to say by not just allowing but inviting people into the country who refuse to assimilate, who refuse to contribute to it? I'm talking about the Islamists now and who are on the record. I play clip after clip after clip and one mosque after another and elsewhere, their imams and their scholars telling us what their plan is. Their plan is to conquer the west, conquer Judaism, conquer Christianity and eliminate it in the United States and the West. They say this over and over and over again. They write it over and over again. We have money pouring into this country from Qatar, among others I mean, let me ask it to you this way. Why do we allow foreign money to come into this country to poison our K through 12 kids and our college kids? Why do we tolerate this?
- [94:41]
C
In short, Mark, we shouldn't. And we have to examine a lot of these funding sources and make sure it's clear in our laws that you're not allowed to use foreign money to infiltrate our institutions the way you're not allowed to use foreign money to infiltrate our politics. And I think it starts there. Number two to your core question, what would our kids say? I think our future kids would say, man, what the hell we all talking about? What were you doing? Look, Mark, over the last 15 years, I've been involved in politics. We've argued against Obama, we've argued against Biden, we've argued against the radical left. But I think in all those political dynamics in America, as crazy as sometimes I disagree with Bernie and aoc, I would take the battle with them day in, day out over radical Islam and Sharia because they're playing for keeps. It's a different ball game, and it's akin to the Chinese. And I think America has to take this seriously, this threat. We have to be focused on it. And I think even before you can get to the policies and the legal wins, there has to be moral clarity and moral authority on this issue. And this is not partisan. This is about maintaining America for another 250 years.

There's some candidate running in Florida. What's his name? Fishman or something. What is his name? Mr. Produce, you remember this guy who's like the biggest bigot that I've ever heard running. I don't know if he's running in the Republican primer. What the hell this guy? Do you know I'm talking about Byron, unfortunately.
- [96:10]
C
Yeah, I do know who you're talking about. What is the name? When it comes to. I choose not to repeat it.
- [96:16]
A
I know, but I need to figure it out so I can Google it. Is it Fish Stein? What is his name?
- [96:23]
C
Fishback.
- [96:24]
A
Fish back. This guy's a real sicko, isn't he?
- [96:29]
C
Yeah. Look, I think what you have here is somebody who's following the algorithm on social media and really trying to ingratiate themselves. But you know, look at market in Florida. Let me just be very clear on this. We are doing very well, not just in polling, but obviously in fundraising, but also in grassroots activity all across the state. We feel very good about our campaign to be Florida's next governor. That's why we have the support of President Trump. Rick scott, the majority of our sheriffs, the vast majority of the Republican congressional and state delegation, we're in good shape, but nothing's given. Mark we're going to go earn it from the people of Florida. That's why we've been in 52 of the 67 counties and we're not going to stop.
- [97:12]
A
And again, if people want to help you, where do they go?
- [97:16]
C
Go to byron donalds.com follow me on social media. Everything's Eyron Donalds. We're really focused. Mark foster, Florida is the best state in the country. We're the crown jewel of America. And so my mission as Florida's next governor is to maintain all the great work that Governor DeSantis has done in his leadership in Florida, but then also prepare Florida for its future. And so in 30 years, when I'm 77 years old, Mark, I want Florida to remain the best state in America. That's the mission. That's why I'm running. And so the people of Florida, I just ask you for your vote and I ask you for your support.
- [97:48]
A
When is this primary?
- [97:51]
C
August 18th. So we're about six months away from the primary.
- [97:54]
A
We got a ways to go. I'm gonna have to jump in soon.
- [97:57]
C
Ways to go.
- [97:58]
A
Byron Donalds, you know, we love you. My wife loves you. We love your wife. Your whole family, just good, good people. God bless you, my friend. Thanks for coming on.
- [98:08]
C
Thank you, Mark.
- [98:08]
A
Of course. Take care.
- [98:10]
C
God bless you, my friend.

A
Bye bye. He's a good man. I like him a lot. I think I'll do this tomorrow because it's going to take a little while. And I want to walk you through it. There was a very important hearing today by Jason Smith, who is the chairman of the, what is it, the Tax Committee, basically. And they were looking at these organizations, these organizations that are funding AOCs, parties and movements and so forth, these left, far left nonprofits that get foreign money, have foreign ties undermining our country under the guise of protest. We're going to spend some significant time on this tomorrow and there was a hearing as well. And I'm also going to cover it on Life, Liberty and Living on Fox, assuming they run the show with Congressman Smith. And we're also going to have former Speaker Newt Gingrich, that's Saturday's show. And we're also going to have on Sunday retired four star general Jack Keane. So we're going to be doing a lot of cool stuff if the show runs on Saturday and Sunday. All right, let me see who is on the Phone lines here. I always try and get in some calls. Now it is talk radio. Not just host talk radio, but you never know. Looks like we're loaded here. Let me just go right down the line, Finch, Portland, Oregon on the Mark Levin app. Go right ahead, please.
- [99:49]
C
Yes, this is Finch in Portland, Oregon. If you.
- [99:52]
A
Congratulations.
- [99:54]
C
It really is.
- [99:55]
A
Thank you.
- [99:56]
C
I don't know how I've survived Portland. How could I live in such a beautiful place like Iran, right? Or Iran and just such off people like, what is going on there? I don't know. I have no idea.
- [100:14]
A
It's hell on earth. It's what I call an Iranian. It's an Iranian Nazi regime concentration camp. They slaughter people at will. You dare not come out at night. You dare not say a word that contradicts the regime or look a funny way. They have prisons full of young people who they're executing night and day. And I think the worst of it will be known once that regime falls. That regime needs to go. That regime has to go. Being a conservative and not a con like lunatic. All right, Finch, thank you for your call, my brother. Let's keep going. Let's go to Eric, Sacramento, California, XM satellite. Go right ahead, please.
- [101:01]
C
I am a American Muslim that is opposed to Sharia law. Yeah, I'm opposed to it.
- [101:07]
A
Explain.
- [101:08]
C
Everybody explain. Okay, so Sharia law came about in the Hadith, which is not the Quran. It's the traditions of, of what Muhammad was trying to institute. It is 1600 years old, a doctrine of living. It is not obligatory. It is not in the Quran. I give you an example. Praying five times a day is nowhere in the Quran or the Bible. The Bible and the Quran both speak of establishing regular prayers. But the five times a day thing was something he came up with when. When his people ask him, hey, how often should we pray? Scholars, educated people, very learned Muslims know that a reformation is needed in Islam. And what is happening with Sharia law is you have a great deal of people that are swept up in, you know, what they would consider, you know, oh, the, the holy way of living and everything like that. But they've been brainwashed by 1600 years of tradition that have nothing to do with the religion. That's why I always try and explain that Sharia law has nothing to do with the religion, has more to do with politics and power.
- [102:10]
A
Well, that's why. That's why people, reformists in the Muslim faith talk about political Islam, because that's what you're dealing with, right?
- [102:21]
C
And the reason why I wanted to explain this is because people, I don't want people to think that Islam, the religion is Sharia law. Sharia law is not the religion. I studied for four years in college, every type of religion that I can, that I can get my hands on. And I landed in Islam. And I landed in it because of, because of the religious writings, not the hadith, not the traditions.
- [102:46]
A
And are you concerned about what you're seeing happening in our country?
- [102:50]
C
Absolutely, I'm concerned about it. It means that you have a bunch of people. Okay, I'll give you an anecdotal story. One time I was at the, at the mosque and I went up to the imam and I said, hey, I got a question about the five times a day prayer. And I brought up the fact that it's not in the Quran. And he said to me, it sounds like you're an academic. I said, yes, I am. He goes, well, that's fine, and I agree with you, but I'm trying to help my congregation learn how to live. And at that point I was like, okay, well, you're not teaching them right. And I told them that I'm not a very popular person at the mosque. Now when it comes to scholars and people that are very learned in Islam, I get along great with them. But the general Islamic congregation, they just don't get it. They are, they have been brainwashed. And unfortunately, you know, it's sort of like if you grew up, okay, if you grew up India, over in Punjab, India, you would be a devout Hindu. That's just the way it is. I mean, you're a product of your environment. The problem is, is you have a people, an entire swath of people that are products of their environment and they believe certain things that were taught to them. That is just not true. Like some, a lot of Muslims believe that it's a sin to eat with your left hand. Nowhere in the Quran does it say that it's just part of their traditions, which is 1600 years old and they need to reform it, they need to clarify it for the modern day. And I. And I was. I'm hope. I know I don't have a lot of time to explain.
- [104:14]
A
And I got 30 seconds till the break.
- [104:17]
C
Well, well. And like I said, I'm not.
- [104:21]
A
Eric, you can call back again. You don't have to get it all done in one call. We appreciate your contribution here because my friends who are Muslims say similar thing, that the extremists have taken over the faith. Now, whether you believe that or not is up to you folks, but the point is the extremists are there. And if they represent 5, 10, 20% of the faith, that is a big number. You can call again, Eric. Of course. We'll be right back.

Wait until they see these video podcast. What do you think, mister? You're excited about it, aren't you, Rich? I'm excited to do it. Next Tuesday, February 17th, we'll be posting it at about noon eastern time. You know, the podcast world is a cesspool with some exceptions. People who can't say the F word enough. They're in their 50s, they think they're cool. They have little girls, what an embarrassment. Other guys smoke pot on the air. They think that's cool. That's not cool, that's stupid. We'll change all that. We salute our heroes out there. All of you. I want to thank you for listening. I want to give my mom a special blessing, kiss and prayer.
