---

OVERVIEW OF THE EPISODE

Mark Levin, with the occasional participation of Michael Knowles, delivers a scathing and urgent critique of the Democratic Party, focusing on the recent Michigan Senate primary win of Abdul El-Sayed (“El Said” as pronounced by the host), and its implications for America’s political and cultural direction. The episode dissects the support base for El-Sayed, explores alliances between leftist and Islamist factions, and features extended discussions with Dr. Zudi Jasser and Senator Ted Cruz on the infiltration of Islamist and Marxist agendas into U.S. politics. The episode is driven by themes of anti-Americanism, antisemitism, and concerns about national security and cultural identity.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. Michigan Democratic Primary: Abdul El-Sayed’s Victory

• Demographics of Support:
  • El-Sayed’s support mostly came from wealthy, highly-educated, white college graduates, especially in Michigan’s college towns (Ann Arbor, Lansing).
  • Blue-collar, union, and African American areas preferred his opponent ([03:00]-[10:00]).
  • Assumption that the Muslim vote for El-Sayed was “well over 90%” ([02:11]).
• Significance:
  • Levin and Knowles argue El-Sayed is no ordinary progressive or liberal but embodies an “Islamist Marxist” agenda ([10:07]).
  • Support from far-left influencers like Hasan Piker is depicted as evidence of the “Marxist-Islamist fusion” gaining ground in the Democratic Party ([12:09]-[13:25]).
• Host Commentary:
  • “He’s not progressive. He’s an Islamist Marxist. That’s what he is.” — Michael Knowles [10:10]

2. Marxist-Islamist Alliance in U.S. Politics

• Terminology & Critique:
  • Levin prefers the term “Marxist Islamist fusion” to “Red-Green Alliance” ([23:09]).
  • The alliance is said to be overtaking the Democratic Party, turning anti-American radicalism into a feature rather than a liability ([13:16], [23:18]).
• Impact on Elections:
  • Similar insurgencies (e.g., Mondami in NYC, socialist wins in Colorado) seen as evidence of national trend ([13:20]-[13:45]).
  • Piker’s social media attacks on Democrats like Richie Torres and his praise for “great leaders” like Mao are cited as extreme but now tolerated positions ([13:25]-[13:55]).
• Host Commentary:
  • “Today it is a feature of the progressive insurgency and is swallowing the Democrat Party during the midterms.” — Michael Knowles [13:16]

3. The Evolution of Anti-Americanism in Academia and Politics

• Indoctrination:
  • Cites decades of left-wing, anti-Western indoctrination in colleges and high schools ([17:00]-[19:00]).
  • Immigration and the attitudes of new arrivals discussed as contributing to anti-American, antisemitic, and anti-Christian sentiment ([18:00]).

• Reactions to El-Sayed:
  • Extended clip from Donald Trump accusing El-Sayed of hatred toward Jews and Israel; warns of the dangers of electing such individuals ([21:16]).
  • Commentary that “Islamophobia” claims serve to conceal real issues with extremism, not legitimate bigotry ([04:50]-[06:23]).
• Discussion of Two-State Solution:
  • Segment from an interview with El-Sayed implying he questions the legitimacy of Israel and advocates for “treating Israel like any other country” — interpreted by Levin and Knowles as coded antisemitism ([27:07]-[29:30]).
  • Extended historical background on Jewish and Christian history in the Middle East, painting modern anti-Zionism as ahistorical ([29:01]-[30:56]).

5. Congressional Hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood

• Ted Cruz’s Testimony:
  • Senator Ted Cruz details his efforts to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terror group and exposes their influence via CAIR ([32:37]-[36:22], [89:32]-[99:20]).

  • Lara Burns: Warns of Brotherhood’s patience and long-term ambitions to erode democracy in the U.S. ([44:05]).
• Attendance:
  • Noted (with outrage) that no Democrat and only a few Republicans attended the hearing ([32:12]-[32:37], [89:32]).

6. Interview with Dr. Zudi Jasser (Arizona House Candidate)

• Main Themes:
  • Jasser describes the “red-green axis” (socialists and Islamists) as gaining ground, labeling El-Sayed as their byproduct ([48:33]-[50:58]).
  • The true threat lies in normalizing radicalization within the Democratic Party and among American youth ([50:58]-[53:28]).
  • Stresses the need for Muslims like himself to lead reform within their own communities and in Congress ([53:28]-[56:22]).
  • Details Jasser’s biography, medical career, military service, and long-term advocacy against Islamist extremism ([63:26]).
• Host Endorsement:
  • Strong endorsement of Jasser’s campaign and efforts by Levin and Knowles ([57:56]).

  • Antisemitism as a Threat Across the Spectrum:
    • Cruz notes the danger of rising antisemitism on both the far left and the “woke right,” linking it to broader anti-capitalist and anti-American sentiment ([100:52]).

CONCLUSION

Levin and his guests argue that the Democratic Party is being overtaken by a dangerous coalition of Marxists and Islamists, epitomized by Abdul El-Sayed’s win in Michigan. They warn of increasing antisemitism, anti-American sentiment, and the normalization of radical alliances within mainstream politics. Through interviews, testimony, and pointed analogies, Levin calls for urgent resistance from conservatives, the engagement of moderate Americans, and legislative and societal vigilance.

If you missed this episode:
Expect a fiery, unapologetic tone throughout, with substantial focus on Islamist and Marxist influence in political institutions, controversial recent elections, and the potential national and cultural security threats they allege this poses. Scholar-guests (Jasser, Cruz) add gravitas, while numerous audio clips and data points drive the arguments home. The tone is combative and urgent—classic Mark Levin.

Transcript

[Mark Levin]

You know, folks, Americans rely on credit cards for secure payments and seamless transactions. But consumers stand to lose it all

[Michael Knowles]

with the Durbin Marshall credit card mandate bill.

[Mark Levin]

Big government mandates favor corporate megastores and allow them to choose how your credit card is processed. They might end up using untested payment networks that could jeopardize your data security and rewards. Tell Congress to guard your card because Americans lose when politicians choose.

[Mark Levin (Intro/Announcer Voice)]

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

[Caller Robert]

Sam. Sarc Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Our number is 878-738-1381-1187.

[Michael Knowles]

What is it, 877-381-3811. All right. Somebody was asking me a question. You know, it's interesting, America, about this race last night to me is when you look at the breakdown of the vote according to various data that are available now. What I have not seen so far is the Muslim vote in Michigan, but I'm going to assume it was well over 90% for El Said. Now what about the vote generally? The vote generally shows in those parts of Michigan where you have a high concentration of college graduates and mostly white college graduates, relatively wealthy white college graduates. That was his base. That's where he did best. Again, I'm not counting ethnicity and religion and so forth. That's where he did best. He did not do best. In fact, his opponent won an areas that were mostly union workers and blue collar workers as well as blacks.

[Mark Levin]

Now, I don't know how you build

[Michael Knowles]

a Democrat party around elitists, basically. I don't think that's going to work in the long run. But so we have a couple of things going on here. Let's try and be as objective as possible. When you look at these races in these congressional districts that are heavily blue,

[Mark Levin]

heavily, heavily blue,

[Michael Knowles]

these candidates do okay, these Communist candidates, these Islamist Communist candidates, and they're winning some of these, these primaries against some of the more sort of Democrat type and left wing type Democrats. There's not really any moderates running in these districts. When you look at New York City again, Mondami won. I'll keep something in mind. It's like 66% Democrat registration, maybe more, and he barely got over 50% of the vote. So it's not like that was any kind of a landslide.

[Mark Levin]

And again there you had a massive

[Michael Knowles]

turnout of Muslims as a matter of fact. But he didn't get a lot of the Democrat vote in the general election. So it's going to be very interesting

[Mark Levin]

in the, in Michigan.

[Michael Knowles]

But I also think that he will lose significantly if the messaging is clear now he's going to have the media on his side, he's going to downplay his extremism. They're going to play up what they'll call Islamophobia, which is really non existent. It's not about Islamophobia. It's about what's come out of the man's mouth and the company that he keeps, like Hasan Puker, among others. These are truly vile terrorist supporting individuals like piker, about 9 11, about Hamas, about Mao Zedong, and on and on and on. I never thought I'd live to see a candidate nominated by the Democrat Party anywhere who pals around with an individual who says America deserved 9 11, who

[Mark Levin]

says he would take Hamas over the

[Michael Knowles]

elected governor government of Israel,

[Mark Levin]

who says Mao was the greatest human being to ever live.

[Michael Knowles]

And yet that's what we see. I never thought I'd see Democrats saying,

[Mark Levin]

well, I disagree with this or I disagree with that, but if he's the

[Michael Knowles]

nominee, which he is now, we will support him. I will support him, they say, because the Democrats have to win. You know, ladies and gentlemen, that is outrageous. That is utterly unconscionable and immoral. The fact of the matter is, if

[Mark Levin]

there were a Klansman running or a

[Michael Knowles]

neo Nazi running, or somebody who was backed by the Klan or neo Nazis and didn't reject them, or somebody who embraced them or palled around with them, you could bet I wouldn't support them.

[Mark Levin]

I don't care if they're Republican, I don't care what they are. The Republican has done a decent job

[Michael Knowles]

of ensuring that those type of individuals, those types of radicals, racists, bigots, anti Semites, that those kind of people are not supported. They've done quite a good job at that. As far as I'm concerned.

[Mark Levin]

The Democrat party even embraced a man,

[Michael Knowles]

Platner, who'd been a Nazi, or at

[Mark Levin]

least he wore a Nazi tattoo.

[Michael Knowles]

It seems to me if you're going to wear a Nazi tattoo, if you're

[Mark Levin]

literally going to have it emblazoned on

[Michael Knowles]

your chest, then you must support it. Because this idea that you don't know what it is is absurd. It's ridiculous. You don't know what it is. I like that tattoo over There, you know, the one with the swastika on it. I don't know what that means. You know, I believe there's a Buddhist history to it, you know, that sort of thing. But I like that one. And it's not only a Nazi tattoo. It is a Nazi tattoo of prison guards in concentration camps. Very special Nazi tattoo. So

[Mark Levin]

we don't have to believe.

[Michael Knowles]

And Bernie Sanders says he would do

[Mark Levin]

it all over again. He would back the guy, do it all over again.

[Michael Knowles]

He's accused, I say accused of rape. Now, Bernie Sanders was asked, you know,

[Mark Levin]

this Bernie Sanders is a particularly stupid man.

[Michael Knowles]

He talks in slogans. He's accomplished absolutely nothing during all these years in the Senate. He spends an enormous amount of time on the road, rallying at rallies and so forth and so on, saying the same thing about billionaires and oligarchs and capitalism and Medicare for all and on

[Ted Cruz]

and on and on and on.

[Michael Knowles]

All of which, you know, is just

[Mark Levin]

so bizarre,

[Michael Knowles]

trying to stoke animosity, Fear monger and all the rest of it. And this is the way it plays out. But he is the Democrat nominee now

[Mark Levin]

by the skin of his teeth.

[Michael Knowles]

Don't get me wrong, El Said in Michigan. And Mike Rogers is no radical. Mike Rogers served in the Army. He was in the FBI. He sat as chairman, I believe, for a period of time on the Intelligence Committee in the House. I'd say he's solid. He's solid.

[Mark Levin]

He's a solid Republican for sure.

[Michael Knowles]

He's the kind of Republicans that come out of Michigan, quite frankly, and that's okay with me, compared to what he's up against 100%, which is why I've endorsed him enthusiastically. And I think he'd be a very good senator for Michigan, as a matter of fact, a very good senator. But let us not pretend that Al Said is just another progressive. I heard somebody say he's a very

[Mark Levin]

progressive, he's very liberal. He's not very liberal.

[Michael Knowles]

He's not progressive. He's an Islamist Marxist. That's what he is. That's what he is. You don't pal around with this guy Puker, and you're not some kind of a jihadi Islamist. And you don't pal around with, with a Bernie Sanders and you're not a Marxist. But now he's going to try and tap it down. You know, Takiya, as they say, kind of tap it down, lie about who he is in some audiences, not in others. He's going to tap it down. Now he says, look, I love America, I love democracy. Sure, he does. Sure he does. Here's a funny way of showing it. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

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 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 Senator Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means 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 fail policies before. His last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs and fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. Learn [e-mail] that's guardyourcard.com paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition. Welcome back, America. We have an excellent piece by our

[Michael Knowles]

friend Eli Lake in the Free Press

[Mark Levin]

says this On Monday, Abdul El Said's

[Michael Knowles]

last day of campaigning to be the Democrat nominee for the Michigan State Senate vacated by Gary Peters, one event stood out. It was a pool party that took place in Detroit where Elsie chatted amiably with the progressive influencer. He's really a terror influencer. Hassan Puker.

[Mark Levin]

As other content creators unquote, took selfies

[Michael Knowles]

and lounged on floaties, El Said ribbed piker for his recent trend of wearing suits. In contrast to the candidate's usual tight fitting black T shirt.

[Mark Levin]

Puker expressed wonder at all the social

[Michael Knowles]

media clips he had seen of, quote, white dude bros that are so stoked to vote for you, unquote. And then the two discussed the media's

[Mark Levin]

full on freakout, quote, unquote over Puker's

[Michael Knowles]

role campaigning for El Said during the final stretch of his primary battle with Representative Haley Stevens. So it'll be interesting to see if he keeps doing that in the general election was a squeaker.

[Mark Levin]

Nonetheless, El Said's narrow victory is the clearest sign yet that his party's old

[Michael Knowles]

establishment is under siege. This populist turn, or commie turn, began a decade ago when Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, surprised voters in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary and nearly defeated Hillary Clinton, the heavily favorite. And now the sons and daughters of Sanders are picking off incumbents from Denver to Philadelphia If Said can win the general election in November, he will likely emerge as a kingmaker or maybe even a presidential candidate for 2028. I think that's a tough road for him to hoe, but time will tell. Of course, in the middle of this upheaval is Puker. Only a few years ago, campaigning with someone like him, even for a progressive Democrat beloved by socialists, would be calamitous in a swing state like Michigan. This is not because Puker supports socialized medicine or is critical of Israel's war in Gaza, which are mainstream democratic positions these days. Rather, Puker represents a strain of American politics that demonizes the republic. The message has roused voters in deep blue urban districts, but Puker's brand of anti patriotism was assumed to alienate normie voters, and actually it pretty much did in Michigan, quite frankly. One example is In January, Puker posted on X that Hamas, the authors of the October 7 pogrom in Israel during which at least 43Americans perished, is a thousand times better than the fascist settler colonial apartheid state, he said. In April, he told Pod Save America that the Republican Party was the biggest terrorist internationally. At a debate at Yale University later that month, he crowed that the American empire was in the process of dying. In July, he praised the late Chinese tyrant Mao Tse Tung, a man responsible for tens of millions of deaths, as one of the great leaders of this world. Earlier this year, Puker traveled to the communist states of Cuba and China and gushed like a tourist visiting the Louvre for the first time. Anti Americanism has been a mainstay of the elite faculty lounges since the 1970s, and indeed those people turned out in droves in those areas. Until recently, though, this kind of radicalism has been largely quarantined to the universities. For ambitious Democrats seeking national office, America last politics was electoral kryptonite. No longer. Today it is a feature the progressive insurgency and is swallowing the Democrat Party during the midterms. And Puker is a big part of it. The 35 year old who built a massive audience of young men as a twitch streamer, has locked arms with the Socialists, roiling the Democrats in primaries this year. He was an early supporter of Mayor Zoran Mondami's campaign in 2025. This year he campaigned for the three New York candidates endorsed by Mondami and the Democratic Socialists of America. On the night of their primary victories in June, Puker warned Representative Richie Torres, a rare pro Israel Democrat, I'll see you in two years, mf. I'm coming for you, Puker also attended Mondami's victory party in the celebration for fellow socialist Malak Kiros, who won her primary in Denver. It wasn't always like this for the Democrats. Recall the criticism Barack Milhouse Benito Obama faced for a past friendship when he was running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 against Hillary. In that race, he was the insurgent progressive choice, while Clinton was the establishment standard bearer. After winning a series of primaries and gaining substantial momentum in early 2008, one of his past associations caught up with him. On March 13, ABC News broke a story saying that the church where Obama and his family had worshiped while living in Chicago was led by Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Now, Wright, like Puker, was part of the anti American left. And in videos on Earth by abc, Wright bellowed, the government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike law, and then wants us to sing God Bless America. And he went on. Now, of course, one of the main reasons all this stuff is going on now that didn't go on before is two reasons. Number one, what's finally come back to bite us is the indoctrination in our colleges and universities and in fact, our high schools, but all throughout the media, especially online now in the last seven, eight years, the anti Americanism, the socialism, the communism, the Islamism. And it doesn't really have any counterweight, certainly not on the Internet and social media, certainly not in our colleges and universities, because they don't hire professors and they don't allow academic freedom. And one of the other issues, of course, is immigration, massive immigration from Obama and from, you know, Biden and the types of people coming into the country. And I don't mean their race and so forth. I mean what's between their ears and what comes out of their mouth. It's an anti Americanism, it's a hideous anti Semitism and anti Christianity and other faiths. And so these things have had an impact. These things have made a change and highly detrimental. And you can see it all throughout Europe. Europe's a few years ahead of us.

[Mark Levin]

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 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.

Yes, it's true that Mark Levin is the fastest growing radio show in America.

[Michael Knowles]

The Mark Levin show is on at 877-381-3811. All right, I gotta say something to my, my engineer on the open mic. We're live in national. Rich, I'm actually hearing the show extremely lowly, so I can't hear it fully. So what I'm saying is there is some communication. It's just not enough for me. Do you understand what I'm saying? Okay, here we go. So we have one arm tied behind our back here tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Just the nature of the beast. Okay, there's some audio I want to play for you. Here we go. I'm pulling it up. Here we go. Okay, bear with me. I'm looking for the President's reaction. What cut would that be, Rich? Can you find that quickly? I'm looking for it. All right, here's the President actually in Las Vegas. Cut 27, go.

[Donald Trump]

And the polls were wrong again last night when they thought it would be a landslide victory for a hater of Jews and a hater of Israel. This guy hates Jews. Somebody said, oh, that's a little strong. No, he hates Jews and he hates Israel. Abdul El Sayed. Can you believe this? This could only happen to me. Abdul El Sayed, lovely gentleman, he's a man of hate. And now he's going around saying, no, I love everybody. I love. He doesn't love everybody. Put him in office. You're going to find out what he loves. He doesn't love Israel. He doesn't love Jewish people. He hates them. He hates them with a passion that burns in his heart and there's not a frickin thing he can do about it. There's not a thing he can do about it because he hates them.

[Michael Knowles]

President. President is absolutely correct. He hates Jews, he hates Israel, but he hates America, too. He hates America too. Now, he's known as a radical, he's known as an extremist. And he's going to do everything he can to play it down with a wink and a nod. The media are going to do everything they can to help him.

[Mark Levin]

And the Democrat Party is going to

[Michael Knowles]

circle the wagons around them, too, because all they care about is power.

[Mark Levin]

If you've read my book on power, you've read my book on American Marxism,

[Michael Knowles]

my last three books, and the Democrat Party hates America. You know, all of this I notice on the Internet people write about, you know, post liberalism and they're writing about all these things. And, and I laugh somewhat because the last many years we've been talking about this, we didn't call it post liberalism, of course, and I still don't like that phrase because it doesn't tell anybody anything. I also don't like the phrase the red green or green red alliance. My friends use it all the time.

[Mark Levin]

The problem is most people don't know

[Michael Knowles]

what in the world that means. The Reds being the Communists, the Green being the Islamists.

[Mark Levin]

So just call it the Marxist Islamist

[Michael Knowles]

alliance or the Marxist Islamists or the Marxist Islamist fusion. The way you use words and the way you make arguments is very important. It's very important. That's what this guy is. Now, to underscore the point about the voting, we're going to go to 26. Mr. Producer, I want to play you this short clip from Harry Enten, the data analyst over at CNN today. Cut 26.

[Harry Enten]

Go in your navy blue, you've got Haley Stevens. In your Columbia blue, you've got Abdullah Sayed. And what you see here is you see that Haley Stevens did particularly well in this corridor. And what's in this corridor? Well, there are a lot of working class voters and a lot of African American voters. Abdul Asayed did very poorly amongst these groups in the primary. It's going to be very interesting to see whether or not he can bring them into the tent come the general election. Bring those swing voters with them. Because where Abdul Asayed did well, to be honest with you, we're really just college towns. That's where he really ran up the score. This is Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor is in this county. And Ann Arbor, of course, is the University of Michigan. We zone out a little bit. Another place he did particularly well was Lansing. Again, we're talking 20 plus point margins. You can't just win college towns if you're going to win in a general election.

[Michael Knowles]

So he underscores the point we were talking about earlier. Now, the great William F. Buckley Jr.

[Mark Levin]

Used to say, I'd rather be ruled

[Michael Knowles]

something to this effect by the first thousand names in the Boston phone book than by these college professors and elitists. And obviously what he meant by that is, I'd rather be ruled by a random selection of average Americans with different experiences and backgrounds than all these college and even beyond college advanced degree elitists, because, ladies and gentlemen, they don't know anything other than ideology. They don't have the kind of experience that it takes to build things, to invent things, to create things, whether it's making a pizza, which is not so easy when I'm watching these guys making a pencil, whether you're an electrician or

[Mark Levin]

a plumber or a truck driver, all the rest of it. That's not what these people are. That's not what they do.

[Michael Knowles]

They're not in construction. They're not mechanics, they're not engineers, they're not physicists, they're not anything. They're ideologues.

[Donald Trump]

That's it.

[Michael Knowles]

That's it. Very, very interesting. But I think what he says there, what Donald Trump says there is very important. One of the strengths of many that the President has is his bluntness. Sometimes some of you might cringe and so forth. But right there as an example, right there as an example, what he said, who this guy is, what he believes is very, very important, very, very important. Abdul Al Said was on the Morning Schmo show today. And unfortunately, Joe Scarborough has thrown all credibility out the window. He really is. He's just a. It's too bad, too, because he had some credibility. But I don't see it anymore. Let's check this out. Cut 17. Go.

[Zudi Jasser]

So is your complaint with the State

[Michael Knowles]

of Israel or is it with Benjamin

[Ted Cruz]

Netanyahu and the way he has prosecuted this campaign in Gaza?

[Unknown Interviewee]

Those things are, of course, are inextricable, but I think we've seen the worst of what the Israeli government has done. But let's not forget that we've been talking about an illegal apartheid regime for a very, very long time, and that supersedes Netanyahu himself. So I just think we need to treat Israel the way we would treat any other country who behaved the way that Israel is behaving. I understand that Netanyahu is a big reason why they've gotten so aggressive and frankly, so bloodthirsty under his reign. But I also understand that it's impossible for us to say that we want a two state solution while we've been aiding, arming and abetting the very people who have been trying to foreclose on the possibility of a Palestinian state. And ultimately, in the end, I don't Think any of us pay our taxes so that a foreign government gets a bomb or a tank? We pay our taxes so that our kids get good schools and functional infrastructure and too many of our kids.

[Michael Knowles]

So you can see he opposes the very existence of Israel because obviously a two state solution would be a final solution to. For Israel. The enemy there is not interested in a two state solution. They're interested in a final solution. They have made it abundantly clear. Hamas has made it clear, Abbas has made it clear. They don't even hide it anymore. And all this talk about occupied territory is a lie because the history of the region is not taught in colleges and universities or high school. It's certainly not discussed in an intelligent way in the media. I've talked about it here many, many times. How is it possible that the people that are nearly 4,000 years old displaced the people from the lands on which they have existed for nearly 4,000 years in one form or another, in terms of their numbers and where the birth of Judaism took place, and then secondarily,

[Mark Levin]

the birth of Christianity took place, how is it possible that the third faith,

[Michael Knowles]

the third faith, which is a mere 1700 years old, actually, I'm wrong. 1400 years old, excuse me, 1400 years old. That, that, that, that religion, that movement, that force is the indigenous force there. I've talked to you before and I've explained that most of the Middle east was. First you had these Jewish areas and

[Mark Levin]

then you had these Christian areas.

[Michael Knowles]

Syria was Christian, Egypt was Christian, Lebanon was Christian, Iraq was Christian. Iran was never Muslim. And it goes on and on and on.

[Mark Levin]

How is it possible then in the

[Michael Knowles]

entire Middle east is Muslim except for this tiny little dot, this spot?

[Mark Levin]

Well, take a look at what's going on in Europe.

[Michael Knowles]

Do you know for 800 years, Spain was Muslim because of the Muslim Crusade

[Mark Levin]

that took place before the Christian Crusade

[Michael Knowles]

took place in response to the Muslim Crusade.

[Mark Levin]

Did you know the Muslims conquered Spain? Then in a horrific civil war that

[Michael Knowles]

took decades, the Christians pushed the Muslims

[Mark Levin]

out of, out of Spain.

[Michael Knowles]

Did you know that?

[Mark Levin]

So when you look at what's going on right now in London, in Paris and other capitals all over Europe, and what's going on in our own country,

[Michael Knowles]

it's not hard to see what took place in the Middle east, is it? I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

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 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 Senator Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate mega stores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Durbin's fail policies before his last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs and fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. Learn [e-mail] that's guardyourcard.com paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition. Welcome back, America.

[Michael Knowles]

How much time do we have? Rich? So I know, okay, well, I want to do, I don't know if I'm going to have time to do what I want to do, but let's see if we can get it started. You know the great senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, he doesn't get the praise he deserves. He's a tremendous patriot. He's very gutsy. And he held a hearing in the Judiciary Committee subcommittee that he chairs. Not a single Democrat showed up and only like a couple Republicans showed up. And it was on the Muslim Brotherhood. Why wouldn't the Democrats show up on the Muslim Brotherhood?

[Mark Levin]

Because they support it, that's why.

[Michael Knowles]

Here's Ted Cruz. Cut one today. Go.

[Ted Cruz (Hearing Clips)]

You may notice that there are empty chairs on the Democrat side of the daisy. The American people should ask themselves why not a single member of the minority decided that a hearing on terrorism was worth their time. It is an embarrassment and a disservice to the thousands of American victims of the Muslim Brotherhood, including most recently, the dozens of Americans who died on October 7th at the Hand of Gaza's Muslim Brotherhood branch, Hamas.

[Michael Knowles]

Cut to go.

[Ted Cruz (Hearing Clips)]

Abdul El Said, the son in law of a leading member of Several brotherhood groups. One Michigan's Democrat primary for U.S. senate. Perfect timing for this hearing. Probably explains why no Democrats are here and none intend to attend. Because their campaign is now openly embracing terrorist organizations waging war on America. Behind El Sayed's political rise sits a much older and more entrenched institutional network. At the center of this sprawling network is the Council on American Islamic Relations. CAIR was founded in 1994 by Brotherhood affiliates Omar Ahmed and Nihad Awad. Two of Keir's founders were both captured on FBI wiretaps at the 1993 Philadelphia meeting where Brotherhood leaders plotted to undermine the Oslo peace process and rally broad support for Hamas. The states, months later, CARE emerged as a nonprofit. Many people associated with CARE have actively aided terrorism and criminal efforts.

[Michael Knowles]

And let's do. Well, I need to Inform my producer, Mr. Engineer, speak down the mic. I think I'm hearing you slightly. I can hear you very lightly, but

[Mark Levin]

I can hear you.

[Michael Knowles]

So we don't need to use the phone right now. Continue to communicate with me over the mic. How much time do we have? Okay.

[Mark Levin]

All right, folks, you get to hear

[Michael Knowles]

this live and national. We have a very serious problem, but we are doing our program, and we're going to continue to do the program unless I think we can't, and then we'll bring one of our friends on. But we're going to keep at this and. Okay. And I do hear you, Mr. Producer, right now, so that's good, but not. Well. Very, very low. But I don't need to hear you that loudly, I suppose. Now, if things go well, we have two great guests tonight coming up in hour two. Again, if things continue this way, we can do it. And that will be Zudi Jasser is running for the house in Arizona. He is a patriot. He served in the Navy as a commander. He's a Muslim, and he believes in the reform movement within his community. And he has led that movement for years and years under grave threat.

[Mark Levin]

Then in hour three, if we're still

[Michael Knowles]

on the air, we're gonna have our friend Ted Cruz

[Mark Levin]

in the flesh as much as you can be in the flesh on radio.

[Michael Knowles]

I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin (Intro/Announcer Voice)]

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 leader, Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin, we're here, we're clear, and we're in your face. I said clear.

[Michael Knowles]

C L E A R. All right,

[Mark Levin]

we are operating definitely on a shoestring

[Michael Knowles]

and some bubble gum here, but we're doing great. It's called American. Know how. I have no how idea how we're doing this, but we are doing it and it's working a little bit here, and we should have. If everything goes well, Zudy Jasser on the program in about 10, 15 minutes. Very important guest, very important candidate. It's crucial that he wins in his congressional district in Arizona. So there's literally a voice in Congress who can take on the Islamists who literally is a Muslim. And some of you are skeptical of this sort of thing. Don't be. Because there are Muslims like this who are in my life who I know,

[Mark Levin]

who are disgusted by these guys.

[Michael Knowles]

They cannot stand them. They cannot stand them. The problem is there's just too many of the other point of view, the Islamists.

[Mark Levin]

That's why we call them Islamists.

[Michael Knowles]

These words have meaning. All words have meaning. Those in particular. Kyle Scheidler, center for Security Policy at the hearing today with Senator Cruz, Cut three, go.

[Ted Cruz (Hearing Clips)]

Does Abdul El Sayed candidacy for senator in Michigan concern?

[Kyle Scheidler]

Yes, sir, it does.

[Ted Cruz (Hearing Clips)]

Why is that?

[Kyle Scheidler]

Well, to begin with, I look at the connections that his father in law, Chukaku Tayib has two Brotherhood linked groups. This includes being the president at one time of CAIR Michigan. Also his presence on the Islamic Society of North America Founders Committee, which is only for those most exclusively devoted to ISNA and provides significant amounts of funding. There are other known Brotherhood members on that committee. Committee. I would also look at El Said's ties to a group called MGage, which purports to be a Muslim, sort of get out the vote or candidate recruitment organization. But it has close ties to care. It was created by a former CARE member who at one time was on a terror watch list and was also a consultant to convicted terrorist Sami Al Arian.

[Michael Knowles]

That's pretty bad stuff. And this group care, we've talked about it here for almost 25 years and they used to threaten me here. I remember that guy. And I said, bring it on. The other hosts were scared to death. And you could understand why they would. They would pressure program directors or broadcast companies to try and fire individuals. They'd been been told to pipe it down. I would not pipe it down. And this group, care, has direct ties to Hamas. Direct ties to Hamas. In fact, I would argue it's a front group for Hamas. And Hamas is, listen to this. Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza. That's what it is. Literally it's the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza calling itself hamas. But that's what it is. They have heavy ties to Erdogan in Turkey. I wish the White House, the administration understood this. They have heavy ties to the monarchy in Qatar. Heavy tight ties. They have had in the past, at least heavy ties to the monarchy in Saudi Arabia. The Muslim Brotherhood has expansive, expansive activities going on here in the United States of America.

[Mark Levin]

There's a heavy funding effort going on that has not been tracked down properly

[Michael Knowles]

yet to build all these segregated communities with these facilities, with these mosques. I call them fortresses because they are segregated where Sharia law is practiced in lieu of the Constitution and state law. This Kyle Scheidler, the Center for Security Policy, is outstanding. He had more to say. Cut four, go.

[Ted Cruz (Hearing Clips)]

Do you believe that there is a Muslim Brotherhood branch operating in the United States?

[Kyle Scheidler]

Yes.

[Ted Cruz (Hearing Clips)]

Are there ever instances where the Brotherhood groups engage in America in acts of violence?

[Kyle Scheidler]

Yes, there are. I would include individuals associated with Brotherhood linked mosques who have engaged in acts of terrorism. I would include individuals associated with Muslim students associations, dozens of which have committed acts of terrorism. I would also include the role in the promotion of rioting and civil disorder conducted by groups like Students for Justice in Palestine and the Palestinian Youth Movement.

[Michael Knowles]

Does it not infuriate you red blooded Americans, all Mr. And Mrs. America? Does it not infuriate you that not a single Democrat appeared at this hearing? Not even any of the Jewish Democrats in the Senate.

[Mark Levin]

Doesn't that shock you?

[Michael Knowles]

And barely any Republicans showed up. Ariel Klepak, National Jewish Advocacy center she

[Mark Levin]

had more to say about this group, CARE.

[Michael Knowles]

Cut five, go.

[Ariel Klepak]

They are in our schools. CARE New Jersey pushed their revisionist version of a 911 curriculum to nearly 30 public school districts. That reframes the attacks as a predictable consequence of US Foreign policy. Imagine the kids in all those school districts walking around learning and believing that 911 was our fault. Other CARE curricula warned teachers not to say radical Islamic terrorism. And CARE boasts of its partnership with Chicago Public Schools, one of the largest in the country, indoctrinating our children into believing that terrorism is justified. Resistance is the antithesis of everything this country stands for.

[Michael Knowles]

And CARE is a part of the Democrat Party. It has members who attend the Democrat conventions. It has members who attend the state

[Mark Levin]

Democrat conventions and the local Democrat conventions. The Biden regime and before that the Obama regime brought CARE in to work with the FBI. I'm telling you the truth. CARE is a significant foothold in this

[Michael Knowles]

society and in other countries.

[Mark Levin]

CARE has been

[Michael Knowles]

treated as a terrorist organization. And we have some states in our country that have done that. I believe Florida and Texas being two of them. There may be others, but we haven't

[Mark Levin]

done it at the federal level for

[Michael Knowles]

reasons that I cannot understand.

[Mark Levin]

Lara Burns, retired FBI special Agent, at the hearing today. Cut six, go.

[Ted Cruz (Hearing Clips)]

What should Americans be worried about? About the Muslim Brotherhood.

[Lara Burns]

Thank you for the question I think Americans need to understand the extent of the threat that this movement poses and the extent of their ability to achieve their goals and their patience in obtaining success in this. The strategy that they have set in place involves the erosion of our democratic principles. It involves the erosion of our personal freedoms. It evolves the erosions of the very principles upon which this country was created. And the individuals within this network do not have a deadline. If it takes them a hundred years to achieve this goal, they will steadily pursue it. That is something that I think in general Americans have a hard time understanding is the stamina that this network possesses and the lethality that exists within it. Because ultimately their goal is to erode our society and turn it into something that none of us want or need.

[Michael Knowles]

These are three brave witnesses and there could be many more. And a brave senator and Ted Cruz, who again I believe will join us in hour three if we're still up and running here. Very important. Now when we talk about this guy El Saib, he represents these movements. He's part of them. He's part of these movements. Mandami is part of these movements. You've got a growing number of members of the House who are part of these movements. And you can imagine the Marxists and the Islamists talking about overthrowing our country, talking about destroying our constitutional construct. And I was the first to write, at least at the national level, at the broadcast level as well, the author level, broadcasting as well, about this fusion between the Marxists and the Islamists. It's very, very important to understand this and to educate your family members and your friends and to talk about this because it's the only way we're going to get our hands around it. We'll be right back.

[Senator or Caller]

[Michael Knowles]

Jasser who's running for the House of representatives from Arizona's 4th congressional district. I've endorsed him strongly. I believe he'd be a great member of the House and for many reasons including his ability to speak out and counter the likes of El Said and Zudi Jasser. You, you see what's, what's happening to the Democrat Party. This must be of great concern to you because you have fought these radicals virtually your entire adult life, have you not?

[Zudi Jasser]

Absolutely. And you know my family saw what happened in the Middle East. The Islamists and or the dictators across the Middle east over a couple generations took over and they came to the west now to do the same thing to our country and the left is letting it happen. The red green axis. The socialists have long had common enemy with the Islamists as they hate America, they hate freedom, they hate Israel, they're anti Semitic. And you know it wasn't just that $65 million got spent trying to stop El Sayed and it wasn't successful. It was this is two generations of if you look at his bio, he was not only in the Muslim Student association, he was active in CAIR and has been a part of that Islamist movement and back all the way when CAIR was founded in 93. Then the meeting in Philadelphia they talked about you know, these were the sort of Islamic association of Palestine founders that said, you know, we can't really get enough of a position in America with just the Palestinian issue. So let's look at the Islamic issue. Let's look at identity politics politics and fast forward 50 years through Obama and and the DEI movement. They basically be made Islam into an identity movement. A race and it's an ideology. It's an Islamist ideology that hates the west and say it is sort of the byproduct of that. So as you said I've been trying to wake up the west to this testified to Congress many times about the Islamist movement and its threatened the fact that there's nothing more American than fighting theocracy and yet the Democrats all of a sudden you have a guy who the night before his election on Monday night was talking about how bloodthirsty Israel is etc. And I'm scratching my Head thinking, you know, I'm running for Congress here in Arizona and every voter I talk to is not asking me about Israel or Gaza. They're asking me about affordability, they're asking me about health care, they're asking me about our economy. And yet somehow the Democrats allowed themselves to vote. They voted for a radical Islamist, an anti Semite, and it just makes no sense. They've been hijacked and radicalized. And for those who think that it's just Muslims that are radicalized, the Democrat party is now normalizing radicalization. And that's what we see happening in Michigan.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, it's quite shocking really. I mean, and he squeezed through the

[Mark Levin]

primary, but the fact is he did

[Michael Knowles]

squeeze through the focal point of his support according to one big survey post election survey that was done that CNN also reported wealthier college educated white people. Is that not crazy? Sudi Jasser but, but black community and the blue collar community, not so much.

[Zudi Jasser]

Yeah, because those communities are dealing with the reality of the issues that matter to Americans. The American dream, the economic successes of the family and what is affecting those. But sort of the spoiled, you know, communities that are more educated, if you will, that were the students that were doing the encampments across the country that all of A sudden post 10-7-12 the country should have been more rallied behind Israel than ever before in our history, all of a sudden became anti Semitic because these white students couldn't even separate the Italian flag from the Palestinian one and yet or the Spanish one. And they basically took on that issue because it was the cause. 11 they didn't even have any facts. They didn't understand what was actually happening in Israel. And now we're fighting a war against Iran to make sure that they don't have nuclear weapons. And with our ally, our greatest ally in the world, Israel, who's fighting for its own existence to make sure that they aren't threatened by a regime that has an end of times eschatology and has a suicidal nuclear weapon. And here you have Al Sayed who couldn't even condemn Khamenei during the campaign because he didn't want to offend the dearborn population. And to see folks on the far left vote for him shows you that it's not really about even. They don't even understand their own ideologies. They're just anti American, they're anti Semitic. And if you look how Europe fell apart in the early 20th century, antisemitism was the beginning of the end of Europe where it fell back into fascism and the Holocaust was a result of that. And we have to wake up Americans to make sure that the west doesn't fall into that same trap again.

[Michael Knowles]

You pointed out that your family in Syria, parts of the Middle East, I suppose, saw what was taking place. And in fact, these Islamists who slaughtered over 580,000 Muslims in Yemen, Yemen's 99% Muslim, excuse me, 150,000, 580,000 Muslims in Syria, they have slaughtered. And then you see how these, how they treat women, how they treat little girls and little boys and so forth and so on. I take it this is what your family escaped from and this is why you're so vocal in warning Americans about this.

[Zudi Jasser]

Absolutely. And there's nothing more anti Muslim than the theocrats. They slaughter women, they control their bodily autonomy in Iran. They force them to cover. They force them not to have property rights. They force them away from working, they take away their individual rights. And here you have hassan piker with 10 million followers and partying with Al Sayed the night of the election. And while he gave speeches, wearing a uniform that. A Maoist uniform, where the Chinese have been slaughtering millions of Muslims, Uyghur Muslims. And Piker is from the, you know, Turkish Islamist axis, if you will, along with Qatar. They hate America. And it's just a fad for them to be part of this socialist Chinese Communist Party movement. And they don't even seem to understand what it means to. To be American. And they're actually trying to destroy us from within. So they get these candidates elected, they get behind them, they rally their cause when in fact they don't care about Muslims. They use our faith as a. As a garment to manipulate youth, to manipulate the generations. And meanwhile, pragmatic Muslims who are fighting for this get dismissed by the left because of the DEI movements. We don't fit the. The identity movement that they want, if you will, because they have this bigotry of low expectations when it comes to Muslims, and it's just a tool for them to use. And the socialists are all too willing to let their movement get taken over by it. So I can tell you that the way to defeat this is to have a movement that brings the independents back together along with the conservatives. That's what I'm trying to do in my district, to remind Arizonans that this is coming for us. The socialist adjacent, the Islamist adjacent folks like Greg Stanton, who says he's not a socialist, but yet has let them. He stayed silent. The Islamist adjacent folks have stayed silent. So we have a lot of work to do. To save this country.

[Michael Knowles]

All right, we'd like to hold you over the break. Zoody Jasser, I know you're busy campaigning, but we appreciate it.

Mark within the thunder on the right. Call in now. 877-381-3811.

[Michael Knowles]

We're here with our friend Zudi Jasser who's running for Congress in Arizona for the in the 4th congressional district. We strongly support him here and I think he's very much an important voice, especially now. So I hope you'll vote for him in the general election. Zudi Jasser, When I look what's going on in this country, certainly when I look at Europe, but when I look at what's going on in this country, a lot of people are talking about what's taking place more and more people. And that's very important because eventually that might lead to action. But I'm not seeing a lot of action in terms of removing people who are here, who are not yet citizens or whose naturalization might even be reversible. And I'm talking a lot about these radical imams that are in these mosques in Dearborn, Michigan and Paterson, New Jersey, speckled throughout Texas now and California.

[Mark Levin]

I think this is a growing problem

[Michael Knowles]

that needs to be confronted. What do you think?

[Zudi Jasser]

Absolutely. And you know, that's why? You know, I've testified to Congress multiple times about this and you know, we need, I'm the firewall. I can be the firewall in Congress and hit the, hit the ground running where if you look across the country, it's not only this Michigan Senate race, but Aisha Wahab who's probably going to take the seat of Swalwell in California. You have Adam Hammawi in New Jersey you and I spoke about a few months ago, who was the blind sheiks translator that now looks like he's going to get elected. In, in New Jersey, you've got Ilhan Omar, you've got Andre Carson and, and Rashida Tlaib in Michigan. I mean, on and on. Now there's this list, a litany of jihadists and Islamists and their sympathizers that are increasing the amount of taking down the defenses of America and fighting this. And if I'm in Congress, I can then be able to take away the, you know, I sort of fit the woke profile, but my mind is anti woke. I have the ideas that can defeat that and we can dissect it and say there's nothing more un American than these ideas that are about theocracy, that are about advancing Islamist movements that are anti Western and anti freedom and still stuck in the 11th and 12th century. So we need to do that. And you know, I've got a coalition behind me of folks that are Muslim, non Muslim, Jewish, Christian, atheist people that have left Islam. We had a global coalition that has come together and we've just not been, you know, given the bandwidth in order to do this. And my website for folks who want to help the campaign is Z4AZ Z number4AZ.com because we have to counter this in the halls of Congress and nationally. And as you said, it's more than simply the politicians. It's the imams, it's the clerics, it's the movements that they say are supposedly about religious freedom when in fact it's about anti Americanism, anti Semitism. The stuff being preached from the pulpits of these mosques should not be a part of the protection of free speech. They're normalizing radicalization. They should be indicted on farah violations for foreign operation registration that they're not registered with, whether it's for Qatar or for Iran or whatever it is. And we need folks in Congress that get it. And not only do I get it, but the people I work with get it. And we would begin to put teeth behind the legislation to protect our country.

[Michael Knowles]

So It's Z the number four az.com, you said?

[Zudi Jasser]

Yes, sir. Z for az.com okay.

[Michael Knowles]

Let us make sure we put that on all our social sites. Mr. We have in the past. We definitely want to do it now.

[Mark Levin]

Are the primaries over again in Arizona?

[Michael Knowles]

I don't remember.

[Zudi Jasser]

Yes, they moved it up this year. We were done on July 21st. And now it's me versus Stanton. And I can tell you, look, in this district, if you see the Democratic socialists that are, you know, are running, they, they took districts that they thought were sort of solid for establishment Democrats and they change the narrative. And I'm telling folks, the 4th district is not just the regular old Democrat district. If you add the independents and Republicans, we outnumber the Democrats over 2 to 1. So it's a predominantly independent district. It was redistricted in 21. So we tell people, think outside the box. Greg Stanton has been a ghost of a congressman, has no platform, doesn't really stick his neck out. Nobody knows what he stands for. I've been going around the district talking to voters. None of them know what he's done. He hasn't passed but one bill in his four terms, and yet he wants to be promoted again and to be reelected. And we need somebody that can use the platform to not only stand by Arizonans and be a voice for this district, but be a voice for America and our 250th against the threats that exist 250 miles from us here on the border and protect our country against the Islamist movements and the socialist movements that are destroying the American dream that folks like my family came to celebrate and be a part of.

[Michael Knowles]

No, that's, that's right. Now tell everybody a little bit about your background, your education. You're a doctor, what kind of doctor you served in the Navy and so forth.

[Zudi Jasser]

Well, contrary to I'll say it, I'm a physician who actually sees patients. And I've been seeing patients in the last 27 years here in Arizona, running a private practice. I've taken on big health care as a leader in private practice against Obamacare and socialization of American medicine. I served in the Navy 11 years, was a physician not only on the USS El Paso to Operation Restore Hope, but as a physician to Congress and the Supreme Court. And I took on the lockdowns and was one of the few physicians that spoke out against what was being done to shut down businesses and take away patient rights. And I've also been, as the head of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, speaking out from Oxford to Phoenix about the need for Muslims to reform our faith to counter the theocrats of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Khomeinis of Iran. And my family's paid a price for that. We've been targeted and threatened with our lives for what I've been doing. But you know, it's a small price we can pay for the freedom that we have in this country. I served on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom appointed by Senator McConnell from 2012-16 and, and went and sat toe to toe with the Saudis telling them that their, their ideology is incompatible with human rights. And I want to continue that work that I started.

[Michael Knowles]

And we've known each other a little while. How long has it been now? 10 years? 15 years?

[Zudi Jasser]

Oh, at least 15 years. Almost after nine, 11. You and I started talking back in 2007 and eight.

[Caller Robert]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah. Well, you're a good man. I want people to know that. And I think it's important that people like you, who are red blooded Americans, who are patriots, who have served in the military, who lead this reform effort, who have been confronting this a lot longer than most of us have, that you're out there and that you should get the kind of support that you need. Because I know your opponent is going to be flooded with money from out of state in Arizona. That's just the nature of the beast. So it's Z, the letter z, the number 4. Az for arizona.com. z for az.com Zudi, we wish you all the best. Any final words?

[Zudi Jasser]

I can prosecute the case for this country, for the American dream and against the Islamists and the socialists. I believe better than the vast majority and especially better than the person currently filling the seat in this House, in this House seat in Arizona's 4th. So help us out and we can change the narrative nationally and counter be a firewall against the red green axis in Congress. So thank you. Z for AZ.com.

[Caller Robert]

all right.

[Michael Knowles]

Be, be safe. And thank you my friend. God bless you.

[Zudi Jasser]

God bless you, Mark. Thank you so much.

[Michael Knowles]

It's a very good man. Been a good man a long time. This isn't new for him and it just, it's a pleasure to know him as long as I've known him. We'll be right back.

[Senator or Caller]

You know everybody, every program. We have so much left over. I won't say it's like the editor, you know, the cutting and it's, it's on the editor's floor, that sort of thing. But so much that I want to discuss with you that I can't always get to you, but there is a lot of stuff that's very, very important. One of the things that bothers me a lot, and some of you may disagree with me, is this war on data centers. It has become a political talking point for the Marxists and the Islamists and a political talking point for big government Republicans who want big government to get in a way and to stop them. Let me explain something. AI is about technology. AI is about something we don't completely understand. It's being developed all over the world. It's being developed in communist China. Israel is one of the leaders now, and so are we. Because AI is actually the ability, and I'll put it in crude, pedestrian terms, to computerize intelligence. And there's no limit to it. There's no limit to the ability that is no boundaries to it, to the ability to gain knowledge and information and to use it. Now, if we're going to be number one and control the process, we have to build these data centers. We have to build these data centers if we want communist China to be number one. And they don't have anything stopping them. They don't care what their people think. They don't even know what their people think. But we have a campaign that is now intended to stop it. In numerous states, particularly the blue states,

[Mark Levin]

but also the red states.

[Michael Knowles]

I hear candidates running for governor here and there. They're saying, I will stop AI or

[Mark Levin]

I will limit it and you're not going to pay for for it.

[Michael Knowles]

You're not paying for it anyway. They pay their own way. In Loudoun county, which has the most of them right now, huge numbers of them. We have a Democrat left wing board of Supervisors. And you know what? The taxes that they pay are so significant, they're encouraging more of them to build around Loudoun County, Mr. Producer, because you know, the Democrats are hooked on taxes like heroin addicts. But nonetheless, it's crucially important that we have these centers.

[Mark Levin]

And the president, who really thinks futuristically,

[Michael Knowles]

he understands this and he's been making the point that the time needs to

[Mark Levin]

come when they have their own miniature

[Michael Knowles]

nuclear power plants because they will be needing the kind of energy that is required, you know, to run these systems.

[Mark Levin]

Now, they used to talk about fracking. Fracking was bad for you. It would ruin the water. Fracking never ruined the water.

[Michael Knowles]

It never ruined the environment. In fact, quite the contrary. And it made us energy independent. But there was a big movement, you might recall, to end fracking.

[Mark Levin]

There was a big movement with climate change. They end all kind of energy production

[Michael Knowles]

and even industrial production and so forth. Well, this is another one.

[Mark Levin]

Don't fall for this, America. Don't fall for this. We need AI.

[Michael Knowles]

If we don't do it, the enemy is going to do it and then we're going to have a big problem. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Though the headlines may change, the threats facing Israel remain. While much of the world has moved on to the next story, Israeli families continue living with the reality of terrorism, uncertainty and recovery. Communities remain on alert.

As Christians and Jews, we are called to stand with God's children in times of need. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews remains on the ground in the Holy Land each and every day, providing life saving aid, food for struggling families, emergency assistance, bomb shelters and critical support for those impacted by war.

[Donald Trump]

He's here.

[Mark Levin (Intro/Announcer Voice)]

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 leader, Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here.

[Michael Knowles]

Our number, 877-381-3811, 881-3811. Mr. Producer, the audio has disappeared. Could you resend that to me, please? We're having a blast here today, ladies and gentlemen, but it could be worse. I could be flying a jet. I could be an engineer on a train, you know, where you have electronic and mechanical breakdowns. I'm a broadcaster. And so it's not life and death, but it can be the life and death of the program, you understand? But we're here and we are clear. C, L, E A R. And we are in your face, as they say. Adam Kandub, if I pronounce that properly, he's the president's nominee for Assistant U.S. attorney General. Which division, I do not know. And he was at a hearing today and he wrote an article saying that Muslim immigrants are more prone to terrorism than others. And of course, that is a fact. That is not to say that Muslims, all Muslim terrorists, that would be absurd. Because it's stupid. That's not what he said. But Adam Schiff to the defense, of course, and Adam Schiff and most of these other Democrats who didn't appear either because they're members of the subcommittee or they just chose not to participate in the Muslim Brotherhood hearing that had been held today by Senator Cruz, chairman of the subcommittee. But the first person you'll hear will be Squeaky from. Excuse me, Squeaky. Adam Schiff, followed by the nominee. Can dob cut seven. Go.

[Adam Kandub (Nominee)]

When you met with my staff yesterday, you said you stood by your previous comments, including op EDS you wrote for white nationalist websites like Vedere. In one of those, in an article titled Immigration and three Twitchy Jewish Nerves, you stated, quote, muslim immigrants and their children seem prone not only to terrorism, but to cultural separatism. Do stand by that statement,

[Senator or Caller]

Senator, I wrote that article in defense of Donald Trump's travel ban, which I thought was.

[Adam Kandub (Nominee)]

That's not my question. My question is you told my staff you stood by your previous statements. Do you stand by that one?

[Senator or Caller]

I stand by those articles. They were defenses against terrorism.

[Adam Kandub (Nominee)]

So you. You stand by that statement? So what do you mean that Muslim immigrants and their children are prone to terrorism?

[Senator or Caller]

I wrote those articles.

[Donald Trump]

I'm not asking you.

[Adam Kandub (Nominee)]

You've already said you stand by that statement. So what do you mean by that?

[Senator or Caller]

I'm trying to explain. I wrote those articles. In defense of Donald Trump's travel ban, which is protect us against terrorism. And I thought that terrorism is continues to be a tremendous threat to all Americans.

[Adam Kandub (Nominee)]

And you. And you think that Muslim immigrants and their children are somehow prone to terrorism.

[Senator or Caller]

I wrote in support of the travel ban.

[Adam Kandub (Nominee)]

I'm aware of why you wrote the article. My question is, and I would like an answer, do you stand by your statement that.

[Michael Knowles]

Let me, let me help the senator.

[Mark Levin]

It is a provable fact

[Michael Knowles]

that Islamism promotes terrorism. Not all Muslims again, but Islamism. It's also a provable fact that what he's talking about is when the President was having a travel ban, that many of the majority Muslim countries were excluded. Indonesia as an example. But what the President was including were countries like Syria, Iraq,

[Mark Levin]

other countries, even Qatar at the time and Saudi Arabia, because they needed to make a determination,

[Michael Knowles]

Yemen, on who was coming into the country and whether those people coming into the country, excuse me, would commit acts of terrorism. Given the fact not that all Muslims commit acts of terrorism, there's 2 billion Muslims in the world, but that we

[Mark Levin]

know, as a matter of fact by

[Michael Knowles]

the data kept by the FBI, national security, and data available to the public, we have a whole counterintelligence infrastructure built around fighting counter terrorism activities, terrorist activities.

[Mark Levin]

And much of that is focused on

[Michael Knowles]

majority Muslim countries, especially in the Middle East.

[Mark Levin]

Especially in the Middle East. So what the President wanted to do was to have, I think it was a 6 month or 12 month, but

[Michael Knowles]

I think it was a 6 month freeze on certain listed countries.

[Mark Levin]

Now, interestingly enough, I remember at the

[Michael Knowles]

time it was explained that Barack Obama had done something quite similar with an executive order.

[Mark Levin]

And so that's what the guy was writing about.

[Michael Knowles]

Now, this society cannot survive, this culture will not survive. If the view is to close your eyes and turn your cheek to the other cheek when confronted with a situation like this. We saw during the height, during the height of what Hamas had done to Israel and to the Israeli people, that an overwhelming majority of the Palestinian people supported it.

[Mark Levin]

They supported the slaughter on October 7th of innocent young people, babies, women and, yes, men and children and other children

[Michael Knowles]

as well, in the most barbaric ways possible, that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians, and not just in Gaza, but in

[Mark Levin]

the Judea and Samaria and other territories,

[Michael Knowles]

supported what took place. We know what happened on 9 11.

[Mark Levin]

It was not from Sweden, it was not from, from Panama, it wasn't from New Zealand. It was from Saudi Arabia with help from Qatar. And the vast majority of terrorist acts

[Michael Knowles]

against America have been Islamists in The Middle East.

[Mark Levin]

Not exclusively, but overwhelmingly.

[Mark Levin (Monologue)]

Now what are we supposed to do?

[Mark Levin]

Pretend that's not the case? So you're going to deny this man an appointment as an Assistant Attorney General for some division at the Department of

[Michael Knowles]

Justice because he wrote an article in support of that?

[Mark Levin]

Seriously? This is why the Democrat Party, it's not merely susceptible to now.

[Michael Knowles]

It is celebrating the likes of an Al Said.

[Mark Levin]

It is celebrating.

[Michael Knowles]

It is campaigning with the likes of.

[Mark Levin]

Of a Hasan Puker. It is backing as a candidate in New Jersey for the House of Representatives,

[Mark Levin (Monologue)]

a man who was the interpreter, the interpreter for the blind sheik, for God's sakes. And we're supposed to play stupid. We're supposed to play dumb. How dare you raise these concerns and these issues? Do we have the will to survive as a society? Do we have the will to live as a people? Do we have the desire to protect our country and our culture and our lifestyle? Defend what has been fought for by generation after generation? Hand it to us on a silver platter? Is this the generation that's going to surrender our country to this enemy? Yes or no? There was a time not so long ago when one generation ensured that the next generation and future generations would live in a country better than the country

[Michael Knowles]

we live in

[Mark Levin (Monologue)]

by using the Constitution, by using the private sector, by using our brains and our hard work. Now we have people. Affordability.

[Mark Levin]

You can't afford a taco.

[Mark Levin (Monologue)]

Are you kidding me? They want a free ticket on education. They want a free ticket on everything. And if you don't give it to them, they're talking up socialism, they're talking up communism. Oh, woe is me. Woe is me. We don't have a draft. We're fighting a war in the Middle East. The vast majority of the American people are utterly unaffected. Utterly unaffected. With our volunteer military, our heroes over there. And so we find excuses. Oh, a dollar of gasoline went up. I don't remember so much noise about

[Mark Levin]

the price of gasoline when the issue

[Mark Levin (Monologue)]

was climate change, when the Democrats were in charge, when they drove up the price of a gallon of gasoline higher than it's ever been at any time

[Mark Levin]

during this war with Iran. It's unbelievable to me.

[Michael Knowles]

I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Though the headlines may change, the threats facing Israel remain. While much of the world has moved on to the next story, Israeli families continue living with the reality of terrorism, uncertainty and recovery. Communities remain on alert.

[Michael Knowles]

Mr. Conservative, I call him Mr. Conservative in the Senate there. Ted Cruz should be with us in about 10 minutes. We want to discuss that hearing he held today. All right, let's jump into the gene pool here with so many of our friends who are calling here. Robert, Athens, Alabama, I know exactly where that is. Not too far from Huntsville, Alabama, W

[Mark Levin]

V N, our great affiliate there.

[Michael Knowles]

How are you?

[Caller Robert]

I'm doing good, Mark. I'm glad you're still there.

[Michael Knowles]

Thank you, brother.

[Caller Robert]

You know, the, we have several tools. The government does, you know, and I believe when these people, you know, you get thousands of these people marching in the street, they all have Iranian flags or the flags of their holding up where their country is they come from. And I believe, you know, especially if they walk up into a camera and say we're taking your country over. Yeah, I've seen they come up and you're right, put it in your face. They need to be watched and investigated and we got plenty of tools to do it with without even, you know,

[Michael Knowles]

let me ask you this, Robert. Seems to me if they're not citizens, they need to have their ass kicked out of here.

[Mark Levin]

So we, if that means hiring a

[Michael Knowles]

thousand more immigration lawyers and Hiram, that

[Mark Levin]

means hiring a thousand more administrative law

[Michael Knowles]

judges, then Hiram, don't hire a bunch of wackadoodles though. Hire people who are good and serious. Put them in positions so we can move this like a, like an assembly

[Mark Levin]

line and get this dealt with. Because that's what it's going to take.

[Caller Robert]

Well, either that or more I say it. Yeah, but shoot, if the government's not going to do it and the American people get tired enough of putting up with it or trying to put up with it, get fatigued enough, well, they might have a little bit of trouble when they come down the road with Their Iranian flag.

[Michael Knowles]

Well, I think your point is important because the civil society is being stretched to its limits. You can see it all throughout Europe. You can start to see it in our cities and our towns where there's intentional intimidation efforts. I think you're talking about where they'll have like a thousand, two thousand, five thousand, depending on the town. Military age men marching down the street, slapping their chests or putting their hands in the air like it's 1930s or something like that. I've seen it too. And we can't put up with this because this is all intended to be an intimidation effort.

[Mark Levin]

That's not even praying to your God.

[Michael Knowles]

That's how in public, trying to send a message to the rest of the town, you know.

[Caller Robert]

Yeah. And we get called Islamophobic and.

[Mark Levin]

Yeah, that's a BS word.

[Michael Knowles]

That's an invention to try and intimidate us, to try and stop us from confronting this, even talking about it.

[Mark Levin]

It's not gonna work with me.

[Michael Knowles]

And I sense it's not gonna work with you, Robert.

[Mark Levin]

God bless you, my friend.

[Michael Knowles]

I like Alabama a lot, especially the Huntsville, Alabama area because that's what I'm familiar with. And all the grandkids want to go to the university. Alabama.

[Mark Levin]

I'm sorry.

[Michael Knowles]

Auburn. I'm sorry.

[Mark Levin]

Sorry.

[Michael Knowles]

I'm just telling you the truth. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Though the headlines may change, the threats facing Israel remain.

Check it out, folks.

[Mark Levin (Intro/Announcer Voice)]

This is Radio Free America on the Mark levin Show. Call now, 877381.

[Michael Knowles]

We're here with Mr. Conservative from the U.S. senate, Ted Cruz. Ted, you held a fantastic hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood. Not a single Democrat appeared. But there weren't a lot of Republicans either, were there?

[Ted Cruz]

There were not, but there was a difference. The Democrats boycotted that. They said they refused to attend. So typically when you hold a hearing, the ranking member who's a Democrat right now attends and every Democrat said they would not, they were not willing to go as an ideological matter. And it's because they're hiding from the reality that their party has been hijacked. Look, this is one day after Abdul Al Said, who is an open Islamist, won the primary and is the Democrat nominee for Senate in Michigan. And this hearing was focused on the Muslim Brotherhood and their American operations. And their American operations are serious. They're far reaching. And it was a very deliberate effort to infiltrate the Democrat Party. And sadly, they've had tremendous success. And the Democrat boycott of the hearing really illustrated that.

[Michael Knowles]

It sure did. And let's talk about this election in. Actually, I don't want to do that with you. I want to focus on your hearing. The Muslim Brotherhood, have we, as a federal government, have we put them on the terrorism list? I know there's been talk about it in certain parts of the country or something like that.

[Caller Robert]

Yep.

[Ted Cruz]

So as you know, this has been a fight that I've been leading for a decade, which is to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist, terrorist organization. Egypt has done so. Saudi Arabia has done so. The UAE has done so. Last year, President Trump, in significant part in response to my decade long advocacy of this, designated multiple entities of the Muslim Brotherhood, multiple affiliates as terrorist organizations. We have still not designated the global Muslim Brotherhood, which we should. But if you look at what the Muslim Brotherhood is, so Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. Its affiliates are unequivocally terrorist organizations. They engage in murder and acts of terrorism. They have killed countless Americans, countless Israelis, countless other people. And if you look at. So one of the things we talked about in this hearing is the Muslim Brotherhood. In 1991, the Muslim Brotherhood drafted a document that became known as the Explanatory Memorandum. And it was discovered by the FBI in 2004. And the memorandum described what it called a, quote, civilizational jihadist process. And in writing it said the objective of the Brotherhood in America was, quote, a grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers. It was very explicit. This is what they've been carrying out for decades and they continue through organizations like care, which the Democrats treat as an essential member of their coalition. CARE was an unindicted co conspirator in the Holy Land foundation terror trial that convicted the Holy Land foundation of funneling millions of dollars to Hamas. And yet here, an unidented co conspirator is a major part of the Democrat coalition.

[Michael Knowles]

And I remember when Obama, Biden used to bring them in to train with the FBI, other aspects of the Department of Justice.

[Mark Levin]

And they're still out there. They go to the Democrat Party conventions,

[Michael Knowles]

the national conventions, the state conventions and so forth. Do you think the Islamists along with the Marxists have now become not just a key constituency of the Democrat Party? I don't think that's debatable, but that they, they have. So they, it sowed the fear into the so called establishment Democrat Party, which is still left wing, but not like this, that the establishment left wing of

[Mark Levin]

the Democrat Party is going to embrace

[Michael Knowles]

some of their crazier positions. I think they are unequivocally.

[Ted Cruz]

And we are witnessing a takeover of the Democrat Party, we're witnessing a Communist takeover of the Democrat Party and we're witnessing an Islamist takeover of the Democrat Party. And one of the most frightening and dangerous developments that we've seen in the last couple of years is the Green Red alliance that the Communists and the Islamists have come together. Mandami is a great example of that. El Said in Michigan is a great example of that. People are open Islamists and they're open communists. And the reason is they both hate the same people. And the people they hate is us. They hate America.

[Caller Robert]

America.

[Ted Cruz]

They hate Israel, they hate Christians, they hate Jews, they hate capitalism and they hate the Constitution. And they're coming together. And listen, this is not the majority of the Democrat Party right now, at least in elected office, but this is a hostile takeover. Simon Dami supported three communist candidates in New York City. They all beat established Democrats. That's another communist Islamist candidate won in Colorado. You've got now, El said in Michigan, you've got another Communist who is the Democrat nominee for governor in Wisconsin. And this pattern, what we're seeing is the rest of the Democrats are terrified of these guys because the energy on the Democrat Party, the money, the young people, all the passion is with the Marxists and the Islamists and the rest of the party is just rolling over and submitting.

[Zudi Jasser]

Mm.

[Michael Knowles]

This, this can't go on forever. One side wins and one side loses. How do you think this is going to work itself out?

[Ted Cruz]

So I think the Democrat Party is being taken over. And I will say there's some Republicans, there's some conservatives that are happy about this, that are celebrating and they say, okay, good. These guys are such lunatics that that means Republicans win the general election. I'll tell you, Mark, I'm not in that camp. I'm not celebrating because you and I have both been around long enough that we've seen the pendulum of history. And unfortunately there's going to be another Democrat president. We'd rather there not be. But if history is any guide, there will be another Democrat elected to the White House. And I'd prefer that person not be an open communist and an Islamist who hates America. And listen, I would like the two major political parties to be rational and not dominated by lunatics. And so watching one of our two major parties taken over by radicals. And as you know, look for me, the word communist, I'm not using that as a pejorative, as an insult. I'm using that as an accurate description. My family was imprisoned and tortured in Cuba. Communists are real and they have destroyed. They've destroyed Cuba, they destroyed the Soviet Union, they destroyed China, they destroyed Vietnam, they destroyed Nicaragua, they destroyed Venezuela. And these are the same zealous who are now taking over the Democrat Party. I think the answer is we need to beat them and beat them badly. And hopefully that causes some voices of sanity to rise in the Democrat Party. At this point, other than John Fetterman, nobody is doing so.

[Michael Knowles]

Let me ask you about

[Mark Levin]

money coming

[Michael Knowles]

into this country from Qatar. I know Communist China, but I'm concerned about this. Is this being carefully tracked and is there something Congress can do to prevent it? I mean, I know we have elements in our country that just love Qatar,

[Mark Levin]

but they are in our culture, they are in our society, they are in

[Michael Knowles]

our politics, they are in our schools and they're very, very destructive force. I don't care what anybody else has to say.

[Ted Cruz]

Qatar welcomes and embraces anti American and America hating forces. So the senior leaders of Hamas live in Qatar. They live like kings. Hamas, or rather Qatar, has spent. It is the number one foreign nation spending money in our universities. It spent about $7 billion. That's with a B in terms of spreading propaganda and infiltrating our US Universities. You look at the anti Semitic protests that erupted across college campuses in blue states following October 7th. They were funded by Qatar. I was not the only person who noticed that. The tents all matched. And what I have been urging the Department of Justice and the FBI to do is follow the money. Don't just arrest the terrorists, don't just arrest the violent criminals, but arrest the people writing checks and paying for those acts of terrorism, paying for those acts of violence. Unfortunately, DOJ and the FBI has not done so effectively yet, but I hope that they do because that's the only way to really stop it.

[Mark Levin]

Can I ask you a question about

[Michael Knowles]

Iran while I have you?

[Caller Robert]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

And the WOKE Reich isolationists, of course, I've been waiting for them to tell us how they would deal with the Iranian regime, its nuclear weapons development, its terrorism against our military personnel, our citizens, its assassination attempts on our President, etc. Have you ever heard these isolationists explain

[Mark Levin]

what exactly it is they would do to confront this?

[Michael Knowles]

Or would they just put their head in the sand?

[Ted Cruz]

Well, they did when they celebrated the very short lived MoU. That was a proposal that would result in flowing $300 billion into the Iranian regime, giving the Ayatollah $300 billion. And as you know, I was the first and for a long time the only Republican Senator that spoke out against it. And I said, history teaches us it is a disastrous idea to give billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us. The woke right was celebrating this. They were saying that Iran, it's a new day. They've had a revelation. Look, when the Ayatollah channel death to America, I believe him. He wants to murder us. And giving him billions of dollars is an exceptionally bad idea. Now, thankfully, the Iranians were so back crap crazy, they couldn't take the $300 billion they had to keep attacking America nonetheless. But we were saved by their own craziness because they believe what they're saying. And the woke, right, the isolationist right. Listen, you and I have talked about, I think the rise of antisemitism on the right is truly an existential threat to this country because anti Semitism is the gateway drug to anti capitalism and anti Americanism. And Mondami and Al Said are the perfect illustration of where this road leads. And as for me, look, I am dedicated. We are going to defeat this poison it is. The only answer is to utterly defeat it.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, no, that's my view too. And we need to harm the Iranian people, in my view. And we need to take out that Karg Island. I just feel like, you know, I'm listening. I'm hearing about a deal is on the horizon again, this time with the straight O Hormuz. And I'm going to tell you something, Ted. I speak for myself and only myself. If the Iranian regime has any control over the strait, and that includes tolls and charging money. They will be in a stronger position than they were over the strait anyway before we attack them, not, not with nuclear weapons, but over the strait. And I think it would create a horrendous precedent. And Communist China, which has tried to take over the South China Sea, they're going to believe they can do whatever they want as well. I just don't think it's a wise approach. I'm not trying to put you in a position. I'm just wondering what you think.

[Ted Cruz]

Look, look, there is no circumstance in which it is okay for Iran to have control of the Strait of Hormuz and to be able to generate billions of dollars from charging tolls on that. That is completely unacceptable. When they say the Iranian regime over the last 47 years has murdered nearly 1,000Americans, they have been the number one funder of terrorism across the globe for those 47 years. They have twice. The Ayatollah has twice fired hit men trying to murder President Trump. This is an administration. Look, my view, I think the objective here should be regime collapse. Removing from office these lunatics. Now, I don't particularly care who takes over. It's not my business. I'm not interested in nation building. I'm not interested in, in turning Iran into a democratic utopia, turning it into Switzerland. I am interested in Iran not having a government led by theocratic lunatics that, that are actively trying to murder Americans. As long as they stop trying to kill Americans, I'm good. They can run themselves any way they want, but stop trying to kill the American people now.

[Michael Knowles]

That's right.

[Mark Levin]

Lastly, how do you see this election

[Michael Knowles]

for the, the, for the Senate in Texas going?

[Ted Cruz]

Listen, I'm very worried about it. It is a real fight. There have been multiple polls that show it as a 1, 2, 3 point race. The left is energized. They're angry. I believe Ken Paxton is going to win and I'm supporting Ken. I'm raising money for him. I'm actively trying to do everything I can to help him. But we've got to turn out conservatives in Texas if we don't do that. The left is furious. They hate Donald Trump and this guy Talarico. He is radical, he is extreme. This is a woke left wing zealot. But right now, most Texas voters don't know that. And I think he's a very dangerous candidate because he comes across as affable, he comes across as true, charming. He calls himself a preacher. And I worry about voters that don't pay that close of attention to politics or just turn on the TV and say, oh, he seems like a nice young man and I think we have an obligation to make sure the voters of Texas know. This is a guy who has said God is non binary. This is a guy who said there are six different genders. This is a guy who has said that his passion in life is abortion rights for transgenders, which is just weird. This is a guy who said our policy on the Southern heartbreak in 10 seconds.

[Mark Levin]

It's my fault.

[Ted Cruz]

Welcome Mac. Matt and welcome illegals. That's not the values of Texas. We need to beat him.

[Michael Knowles]

Ted, Keep up the great work. You're one of a kind. We really appreciate your brother. God bless. We'll be right back.

[Mark Levin (Intro/Announcer Voice)]

Matt love End.

We have a dear friend.

[Michael Knowles]

Bob really is. He's incredible engineer, isn't he? Mr. Producer. The best of the best. So they wonder how I'm keeping my cool today. Mr. Producer and Bob, Rich and Bob. I think I've been very cool today, haven't I Mr. Producer? Folks, you have no idea.

[Mark Levin]

I couldn't hear

[Michael Knowles]

the commercials, I couldn't hear the breaks. I had to have the phone in my ear. I couldn't hear myself. Then we were rejiggering things a little bit here and I moved some things and they were helping me, Bob and Rich and we'll try and get this fixed permanently tomorrow. But that's what we've been doing and I hope a good show.

[Mark Levin]

I want to salute all you heroes out there. Thank you for being here. Have a wonderful evening. We will be back tomorrow when we will put this place back together again.

[Michael Knowles]

God bless you and be safe.
