Mark Levin Podcast: “The Left’s War on Tradition and Sovereignty”

Date: February 25, 2026
Host: Mark Levin
Featured Guest: Tommy Robinson

Overview

This episode dives into Mark Levin’s critical takedown of current progressive trends in the US and abroad, with a powerful focus on the left’s alleged war against tradition, national sovereignty, Judeo-Christian values, and free speech. Levin is joined by Tommy Robinson, a British activist and citizen journalist, who warns America of the dangers of importing failed multicultural and immigration policies from Europe, particularly those that, in his view, threaten Western culture and security.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Progressive Boycotts and Disrespect for Tradition

• [00:08–03:00] Mark Levin denounces House Democrats and Senators who plan to boycott the State of the Union as proof that the Democratic Party “accepts no traditions or customs. None.”
• He contrasts past Republican conduct (“the vast majority of them did” attend during Obama and Biden) with what he sees as Democratic radicalism seeking to “burn down the system.”
• “Open borders, no deportations, illegal aliens treated as citizens, no voter ID, destroy the Supreme Court…” (Levin, 01:45).

2. Attack on Media Figures and Internal Saboteurs

• Levin launches a scathing attack on Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and others, accusing them of promoting anti-Israel and anti-American narratives from abroad.
• He accuses Carlson of being a “traitor” for “trashing our ambassador, trashing our president’s foreign policy” on Saudi state media, and working with left-wing media.
• Quote: “He trashes the press while he uses the press. So he plants these stories with Politico… He tells you one thing, America, and does another.” (Levin, 09:40)

3. Leaking, Espionage, and Sabotage from Within

• Levin describes pervasive leaking within the administration, likening it to a violation of the Espionage Act.
• Emphasizes anonymous sources attempting to sabotage Trump’s military options, particularly regarding Iran.
• “These are the worst kind of traitors. They’re just traitors.” (Levin, 32:08)
• Urges DOJ and FBI to investigate internal saboteurs and “let the chips fall where they may.”

4. The Dangers of Islamism in America

• Levin repeatedly asserts that New York and other US cities are being “Islamified.”
• Describes a controversial incident involving snowball assaults on police and an imam allegedly calling for the killing of infidels in a Queens mosque, which the mayor attended.
• Criticizes “the summoning to prayer” being broadcast in New York as an assertion of “power and control.”
• “You do that to show power and control. That’s why you do it. In a non-Muslim majority city, you do that for that reason." (Levin, 45:09)

5. Islamism, Marxism, and the Alliance Against the West

• Levin and Robinson both argue that radical Islamists and the far left are working together to undermine Western, especially American, values.
• “The problem is when the Democrats take over and they take over our courts, the Ten Commandments are pushed out of the schools. Why the hell are the Ten Commandments pushed out of our schools? Because you can't teach religion. Separation of church and state. That's not what it says. Why shouldn't we embrace our history?” (Levin, 43:21)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

Levin on Media and Conservatism

• “His [Tucker Carlson’s] economic policies are much closer to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders than they are to Milton Friedman.” (Levin, 14:13)
• “There he is. He’s a traitor.” (Levin, 12:40)

Robinson on the UK’s Social Breakdown

• “When I was born, there was one mosque. There’s now 45. White English are a minority. My hometown has been named by the CIA as the epicenter of terrorist activity for Europe.” (Robinson, 74:40)
• “What happened is the consequence of open border, mass immigration, and America, brace yourself because … the seeds have already been planted in the United States for the destruction of the United States.” (Robinson, 76:40)

On Rape Gangs and Government Complicity

• “This is the darkest stain on British history … a conspiracy of silence from police leaders, religious leaders, political leaders that actually facilitated and accommodated the rape of a generation of British girls.” (Robinson, 76:10)

Robinson on Visiting Israel

• “I went to Israel asking questions... I was probably one of the most prominent figures against Islam in Europe. And I paid young Arab Muslims … they took me to a [Palestinian] refugee camp in Bethlehem. … I asked: ‘Who’s oppressing you?’ And they said: ‘The Palestinian Authority.’” (Robinson, 82:45)
• “You just have to go and kill any Israeli and then they get financially rewarded for the rest of their life.” (Robinson, 84:05)
• “There’s 55 Islamic nations. The Jews can have one, okay? Their biblical historical land.” (Robinson, 87:35)

On Speech, Censorship, and State Power

• “We live in a post free speech era. We have no free speech. 12,000 people were arrested last year for social media posts in Britain, only 800 in China, in Russia.” (Robinson, 78:00)

On the Left and Mass Immigration

• “If America is willing to sacrifice its daughters, its mums and sisters in order to say they’re a better nation for diversity, then allow your women to be raped as well. Because that’s what’s happened in our country.” (Robinson, 78:55)

Tommy Robinson: Extended Interview

(Starts at ~[72:55])

Background & Motivation:

• Robinson details his upbringing in Luton, the UK: “White English are a minority. My hometown has been named by the CIA as the epicenter of terrorist activity for Europe.”
• Describes the grooming gang scandals and the systemic cover-up due to political correctness and fear.
• Founding of the English Defence League as a response to what he saw as government failure to address “rape jihad.”
• Personal persecution—including “seven months in solitary confinement for making a film”—and weaponization of lawfare against anti-Islamist journalism.

On the US: Warnings and Parallels

• Stresses the threat of mass Islamist immigration to America:
  “When your borders were open... it wasn’t Mexicans coming through your border. It was Eritreans, Pakistanis, Somalis, Afghanis, Syrians. And this is a whole different ball game.”
• Urges Americans to learn from Europe’s example to avoid “destruction from within.”

Israeli Perspective

• After visiting Israel and Palestinian territories, found what he viewed as “oppression” and radicalization was the result of Palestinian Authority and terror groups, not Israel itself.
• Refutes “apartheid” accusations; notes that “Israel is the only place where the Christian population has grown in the Middle East, the only place where you have freedom as a minority.”

On Christian and Western Values

• “When we lost faith as a country, we lost that Christian culture. What filled that void was Communism, Marxism, Islamism.” (Robinson, 95:00)
• Calls for a cultural movement centered around traditional, nationalist, and patriotic principles to counter the decline.
