Overview of Main Theme

In this episode, Mark Levin provides a sweeping critique of elites, media personalities, and political figures whom he accuses of undermining traditional American values and collaborating—wittingly or unwittingly—with hostile foreign powers like Qatar. Levin also discusses pressing issues like economic policy under Trump versus Biden, immigration—particularly focusing on Somali communities in Minnesota—and the corrosive effect of conspiracy theories and anti-American sentiment within both the political left and right. The tone is urgent, combative, and unwaveringly patriotic, characteristic of Levin’s fiery style.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Elites, Qatar, and the New Imperial Ruling Class

[00:49 – 15:12]

• Levin begins by framing recent events in Qatar as emblematic of how global elites—across politics, business, and media—align themselves with anti-Western, anti-American regimes for personal gain.
• Qatar, a small but wealthy monarchy, is painted as a “brutal, genocidal” regime that funds terrorism and seeks to undermine the U.S. and Israel.
  • “Qatar has as its mission the destruction of the United States from within, the destruction of the west, and, of course, the destruction of the State of Israel.” [04:05]
• Levin alleges bipartisan complicity, accusing both Democrat and Republican figures, business conglomerates, unions, and especially media influencers of being seduced by Qatari wealth.
• He describes a new “imperial ruling class” in America—media, financiers, podcasters—who have become “enormously wealthy, famous or infamous as a result of support from this regime and regimes like it.” [07:34]
• Accuses mainstream podcasters and influencers of spreading Qatari propaganda, likening them to WWII’s “Tokyo Rose.”
  • “They used the podcasters and others as the Japanese used Tokyo Rose... They push a new form of propaganda, indoctrination.” [06:35, 07:04]
• Blasts Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon as “media creations” propped up by foreign money and hostile to true conservative values.
  • “Tucker Carlson is a media creation… Banning a Hollywood boy, a crook, pled guilty… Media creations, that's all they are. They've actually accomplished not a damn thing.” [12:38 – 13:10]
• Condemns these elites as neo-fascists, Marxists, Islamists, who exploit the “little guy” and co-opt the MAGA movement for personal gain.
  • “They are using the little guy, they are abusing and exploiting the little guy. That is what neo fascists do. That is what neo Nazis do. That is what Marxists and Islamists do as they ride the wave of the MAGA movement they never created.” [13:43]

---

2. Defense of Trump’s Economic Policy vs. Biden’s Failures

[16:36 – 21:56]

• Shifts to economic policy, making the case that Trump’s record—massive tax cuts, deregulation, and focus on prosperity—mirrors Reagan’s successful approach.
  • “The vast majority of his executive orders are intended to reduce the bureaucracy, limit regulation, slash them like no president ever has... It’s working.” [16:49]
  • “Donald Trump has put in place a very, very similar program that will do, I believe, the same thing. And as Reagan would say, stay the course.” [17:55]
• Contrasts this with Biden and the Democrats, who, in his view, have intentionally destroyed the economy through overregulation, massive spending, and inflation.
  • “Biden and the Democrats come in and they kill it. It's as if they wanted to kill it. Huge taxes, infinite regulations, restrictions on drilling… as if they wanted to decrease economic activity.” [18:33]
• Warns that division and sabotage within the right (by figures like Carlson, Bannon, and Owens) could cost Republicans critical elections.
  • “Just a small percentage who say we want no identity with Nazis... They will cause us the election.” [21:24]

---

3. Somali Refugees, Welfare, and Assimilation in Minnesota

[23:03 – 29:24]

• Cites data from the Center for Immigration Studies, claiming extremely high welfare dependency among Somali immigrants in Minnesota and poor rates of English proficiency and educational attainment.
  • “81% of Minnesota households headed by Somali refugees [are] on one or more forms of welfare...” [23:32]
  • “Almost 60% of Somali refugees say they do not speak English very well, clearing nearly half who have lived in Minnesota for more than eight, for more than 10 years.” [25:57]
• Argues that the lack of assimilation and reliance on welfare constitute a “disaster” but accuses media and politicians of willful blindness for fear of being labeled racist or bigoted.
  • “So we're bringing Somali, literally the country of Somalia, into the United States. With no hope of assimilation. None.” [26:50]
• Draws a hard distinction between Islamism and Americanism, insisting they cannot coexist, and clarifies he is criticizing Islamism—not Muslims broadly.
  • “Islamism and Americanism cannot possibly coexist... I'm attacking Islamists. Islamists. And they deserve to be challenged and questioned and called out.” [29:24, 29:38]

---

4. Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and the Kirk Assassination Conspiracies

[29:55 – 33:45], [35:04 – 46:42]

• Levin denounces conspiracy theories circulating around the assassination of Charlie Kirk, particularly those pushed by Candace Owens and “Tucker Katarlson,” whom he skewers as “unhinged.”
  • “She’s had enough of it. Candace Owens and some of the others... There’s right on her heels, there’s Katarlson, fresh back from Qatar, buying a home there, I guess... trashing Jews in Israel, lauding the Hitler apologists, asking questions and that sort of thing.” [32:16, 32:26]
• Delivers a relentless personal attack on Tucker Carlson: accuses him of anti-Semitism, anti-Christian rhetoric, and shameless grifting from foreign sponsors.
  • “He is not on a warpath against Christians, particularly pastors who actually preach the gospel. He hates Jews... He is sort of the Pap Buchanan of the modern age or worse.” [38:08, 38:25]
  • “He’s Qatar’s favorite lapdog. Not even a close second out there.” [39:44]
• Explicitly refutes the Kirk assassination conspiracy and calls for Owens, Carlson, and others to leave Erica Kirk alone:
  • “Leave Erica Kirk alone... She’s a grieving widow... He was horrifically assassinated. Get off her back. Leave her alone. And don’t put out your phony video, you little bastard. Katarlson. We’re playing all sides, all sides. Because this fool... Now has this little niche that he’s carved out, but that little niche requires him to attract as many psychopaths, as many unstable bigots, racists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, anti-Americans as possible.” [43:09 - 45:55]
• Questions the manhood (“I want to speak to the men for a moment...”) of those who sit by as a widow is attacked for internet fame and profit.
  • “It’s time to cut this guy off. It’s time to be done with this guy. It’s time to throw him out with the trash. Because that’s what he is, he’s trash.” [49:16]

---

5. Patriotic History and Lessons from the Founders

[50:36 – 55:11]

• Levin shares stories about lesser-known signers of the U.S. Constitution (Nathaniel Gorham, Nicholas Gilman, David Brearley, William Livingston, Richard Dobbs Speight), highlighting their sacrifices, humility, and impact.
  • “As the new year comes, we're going to spend a lot of time on American history, early history and beyond… I really feel that if we're going to save this republic, if we're going to get our youth back, that we have to make really good use of these platforms, not this other sick stuff that's being pushed out there.” [51:37]
• Emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with America’s founding values as a means to heal division and counteract the influence of “phony influencers.”

---

6. Foreign Policy – The Middle East, Turkey, and Israel

[55:11 – 62:06]

• Reports on a Jerusalem Post event where he listened to Thomas Barrett, U.S. envoy to Syria or Turkey, propose increased Turkish influence in Gaza.
• Staunchly opposes giving Turkey—or any Islamist regime—military footholds in Gaza or access to American technology (F-35s), given their alignment with anti-Israel actors.
  • “The idea that Turkey would be part of this international military force in Gaza is outrageous. Erdogan is an Islamist. Erdogan has destroyed Turkey. Erdogan is a backer of Hamas.” [56:59 – 57:44]
• Reiterates belief that democracy and Islamism are fundamentally incompatible—and says he’s been warning of that for years.
  • “Islamism and Americanism are utterly incompatible. Right. Who's been saying that for years? Me.” [59:56 – 60:03]

Final Thoughts and Tone

The episode is a passionate, at times incendiary defense of traditional American values, constitutional conservatism, and a direct attack on both left-wing and (alleged) faux right-wing influencers, whom Levin accuses of subverting American interests for personal or foreign gain. It blends patriotic historical reflection, current political analysis, and personal invective in classic Mark Levin fashion, with repeated appeals to his audience’s sense of duty, honor, and patriotism.

Transcript

[Mark Levin]

Two hours ago, Kyle arrived at the bar.

Hey, what's everyone drinking?

Thirty minutes ago, Kyle got his friends another round of drinks.

[Public Service Announcer]

Cheers.

[Mark Levin]

Five minutes ago, Kyle decided to drive home drunk. A minute ago, a law enforcement officer pulled up behind Kyle.

Sir, have you been drinking tonight?

A chain of events that began two hours ago is about to change Kyle's whole world. Drive sober or get pulled over. Paid for by Nitza.

[Radio Host/Announcer]

It's all quiet in the underground bunker, doors closed, locks bolted. But the Great One isn't just resting on his laurels. He's making sure your weekend is even better by giving you his best. This is the best of Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

It's always a great honor to speak to you, millions and millions of you, from sea to shining sea, Actually, every corner of the planet, on every platform imaginable. And I hope you'll put up the volume. You, your kids, maybe in their car, at the dinner table. Because I want to have a chat with you. At this national town hall meeting over the weekend, we saw a real spectacle. We saw in Qatar. What we saw in Qatar were elites. Ruling class elites in government, politics, business, media elites, not all, but most of whom are quite wealthy, meaning in Qatar, sprinkled in, there were leaders of other countries to give this event some patina, some patina of having a diplomatic presence. But the purpose was clear. Qatar is a nation of about 330,000 people, smaller, smaller in population than the city of Baltimore. It is, on top of massive amounts of natural gas, extraordinary wealth in the hands of very few. Qatar was created, Created a few decades back. It has a monarchy. A brutal, genocidal, vicious monarchy. A monarchy that survives by police, state tactics. A monarchy that survives by terrorism. A monarchy, 330,000 people that has decided it seeks to overthrow the West. Supports the Taliban, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, isis. It supports all the entities that seek the destruction of the west, many of which have killed hundreds, if not thousands of Americans and threaten to do so again. We built up an entire infrastructure of counterterrorism to fight the very people that Qatar supports. And yet, in the past, we built an air base there. The Biden regime extended the lease 10 years, and of course, our current president has essentially stated that we will go to war in defense of Qatar.

Qatar has as its mission the destruction.

Of the United States from within, the destruction of the west, and, of course, the destruction of the State of Israel. And it puts its money where its mouth is. Now, none of this is new to you. If you've listened to this program, if you watch my Sean FOX but what is new is the extent of the success that this regime is having.

Success it's having right in front of our eyes. And it has caused me to conclude.

As I've hinted to on this program and mentioned at the end of last week again and mentioned on my Fox show Saturday, we have a new imperial ruling class, both parties, a new imperial ruling class. Businesses, unions.

Media financiers.

They celebrate this monarchy.

They celebrate its fascism. They celebrate even the Marxist Islamists.

Who align with them in support of these regimes. These are elitists, not you and me.

Not Mr. And Mrs. America.

You get nothing out of this.

This isn't intended for you.

This is intended for relative handful of power hungry elites in our country. They seek power, they seek wealth, they seek glory.

And they have used a new platform.

Called podcasting, really developed in the early.

2000S as a means by which to.

Communicate the views, the beliefs, the so called values of the Qatari regime, as.

A means by which to attack those.

Who embraced traditional Americanism, Judeo Christian values under which this nation was founded, capitalism. They used the podcasters and others as the Japanese used Tokyo Rose. Except Tokyo Rose was in Japan.

They push a new form of propaganda, indoctrination. They claim to be America first as they trash America, as they trash our military that fought so heroically in World War II. They accuse our nation, like the Marxist Islamists, of being imperialists and colonialists. They claim to support isolationism, but they don't.

They oppose alliances with our allies and they demand alliances with Qatar, with the enemies who want to destroy the West. Seems counterintuitive, but it's not. These are grifters. The vast majority are individuals who become enormously wealthy, famous or infamous as a result of support from this regime and regimes like it.

Traditional constitutional conservatives who reject this are to be smeared and attacked as being the opposite of what they are.

That is being accused of.

Opposing maga.

When in fact it is these individuals.

When the veil is down, when the texts are leaked or released in litigation.

Who are those who attack the President of the United States, who is MAGA and his supporters? American values and beliefs, even representative government are barriers to this new imperial ruling class. Elite.

Capitalism is condemned just as it is.

Condemned by the Marxists.

What is this free market capitalism stuff? They embrace a bizarre form of feudalism and Marxism.

Magazine, American conservative, the reprobates that right over there, they call themselves Paleo conservatives. They're actually Neanderthals. They're Paleo nothing, nothing to do with conservatism.

Now These people seek the centralization of power. While they go on and on about the billionaires and the wealthy, they seek the centralization of wealth of capital and.

They want a big chunk of it.

They've actually built nothing. They call themselves financiers, hedge funds.

Equity funds, which rely heavily on the enormous.

Wealth of these potentate fascist monarchs in.

The Middle east, especially Qatar.

They don't care that Qatar funds terrorism. They don't care that Qatar was involved in 9 11. They don't care that Qatar is destroying our colleges and universities. Let them eat cake. They post photographs of boozing it up, giving the finger to you, the middle finger. The American people, what are you going to do about it? They figure, besides, we have all these great followers on our podcasts.

We are influencers now. We even find out that's corrupt, that many of the people supposedly watching them are from foreign countries. Foreign countries, some of them even lie, some of them even body followers. But no matter their targets, young people with minimal experience, young people who are not being taught history in college, young people who are rejecting our founding.

Young people who they stereotype is down and out, victims of the system, incapable, incapable of accomplishing anything under our current.

Western values and capitalist system.

There they are in Qatar.

The new globalists.

Have come to thought.

They are not isolationists, they're isolationists when it comes to our alliances. But when it comes to our enemies, they are globalists.

Their hands are out.

And our enemies are happy to fill them with money, lots of it, directly and indirectly.

Most of these people are media creations.

Tucker Carlson is a media creation.

Banning a Hollywood boy, a crook, pled guilty being a crook, ripping off many of you.

A media creation?

Who else? The comedians.

Media creations, that's all they are. They've actually accomplished not a damn thing. They haven't built a damn thing. They don't even have professions. Not electricians, not plumbers, nothing. Zero. They literally create nothing. And they become enormously wealthy. Doing what they do, parting with whom they party.

And then they want you to believe that they represent the little guy.

When they are using the little guy, they are abusing and exploiting the little guy. That is what neo fascists do. That is what neo Nazis do. That is what Marxists and Islamists do as they ride the wave of the MAGA movement they never created. And in secret, they hate as they laugh behind the back of one of the greatest presidents in American history, Donald Trump. This is our battle today. These are the new imperialists. These are the new ruling class elitists. They hate this country.

And then they wrap themselves in America.

First, which is repulsive. They tell us Reagan was no good, Churchill was no good, Hitler was misunderstood.

Their Prime Minister of Qatar is a great man. Their Prime Minister of Iran is misunderstood. Putin is a great leader.

Crazy, isn't it? But with young people in particular, not a lot, but enough. This has an appeal. America first becomes for them a bumper sticker for destroying America.

Making your weekend even better. This is the best of Mark Levine.

[Mark Levin]

You have critics, pseudo conservatives, among others, who say he's not focused on the economy. He's focused like a laser.

Peace and prosperity.

That's his agenda. Peace abroad, prosperity at home. The vast majority of his executive orders are intended to reduce the bureaucracy, limit regulation, slash them like no president ever has to open up our lands and our waters to commerce in a responsible, environmentally wise way. And it's working. The big beautiful bill passed in late May, as I recall, has massive tax cuts that will take have significant effect at the beginning and mid next year. People Forget Ronald Reagan's August 1981 massive tax cuts. And they were massive. It took literally 14 months. Some have said 18, some have said whatever, but I looked it up. It was 14 months until the full force of those tax cuts took effect and the economy exploded with growth, wealth Creation, prosperity, new jobs, increased income, entrepreneurship, massive growth. Donald Trump has put in place a very, very similar program that will do. I believe the same thing. And as Reagan would say, stay the course. You see some of these RINOs panicking, you see some of these Woke Reich types taking shots at the President, not me. I support what he's done here very, very strongly. And he knows what he's doing. He already did it in his first term. We had a massively.

Prosperous economy. Biden and the Democrats come in and they kill it.

It's as if they wanted to kill it. Huge taxes, infinite regulations, restrictions on drilling, restrictions on fishing, restrictions on ranching, restrictions on everything, as if they wanted to decrease economic activity. They passed these massive spending bills, massive debt.

They lied about it.

Inflation reduction was inflation promotion. President is trying to undo all that in addition to create growth.

And he has spent God knows how much time negotiating trade deals that are beneficial to the United States, bringing in significant amounts of money to rebuild our.

Industries and so forth against Communist China and the rest of them.

He's got a lot to be proud.

Of and he's got a lot to point to. And this issue of affordability is a.

Catchphrase by the left, like equality.

They use that one too. They mean nothing.

The fact is, if you create economic growth and prosperity, wealth creation.

You not.

Only have affordability, you have well beyond affordability.

You have security, you have availability, you.

Have new products, new medicines.

New jobs, cutting edge technologies. That's what Trump's doing.

And it will pay off. Stay the course. It will pay off. I'm deeply proud of what he's done.

And he spent a lot of time focused on the domestic economy.

The Democrats always talk about Republicans killing the economy. They When Bill Clinton ran for president the first time against Bush 41, he kept saying we were in a recession.

We were never in a recession.

But they repeated the lie, the media repeated the lie, and people thought we were in a recession. That that's why Donald Trump's in Pennsylvania this evening. That's why he's going to travel the country, because nobody like him can communicate with the American people and bring the.

Truth to our communities. I think what he's done on the economy has been second to none outstanding, and I think it'll pay big dividends. The issue in the midterm elections, I.

Think will be the economy, of course.

But it's going to be the Woak Reich R E I C H if.

3, 4, 5% of the people decide.

To stay home because of Tucker Carlson.

Because of Steve Bannon People they don't even know or understand.

Nobody understands them because of Candace Owens.

And the other reprobates. Just a small percentage who say we want no identity with Nazis.

We want no identity with anti Semites.

We want no identity with people who trash Christians, who promote Sharia law. We want no identity with any of those people.

They will cause us the election and.

Tucker Carlson has said as much. Not going to vote Republican. He hates the Republicans. Okay, well we have nothing else. The goal is to push the Republicans in the right direction, not to get the Democrats elected. These are saboteurs.

Low IQ saboteurs.

Mark the vin all right everyone, let's.

[Public Service Announcer]

Talk about drinking and driving. A decision that will change your whole world. Things will never be the same once you get a DUI because legal fees, time in court are just the beginning. Getting into a crash is another way your world could be irreversibly changed. After drinking and driving, your vehicle may not be the only thing that gets damaged in that crash. You could face a life altering injury or even death. But you're not the only one who could face those consequences. Your decision to drink and drive could permanently change someone else's world, whether you injure them or leave their loved ones grieving. The next time you're out drinking, call a ride, share a taxi, a sober friend or a designated sober driver. Always plan for a safe ride home. The only decision that will change your world for the better is the decision to call for a sober ride. It's never worth it to drive drunk. Don't risk it. Drive sober or get pulled over. Paid for by nitsa.

You're listening to the Best of Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Nearly every Somali household with children is unwelf in Minnesota. That's the culture. That's the community. More than eight in 10 households headed by Somali refugees in the state of Minnesota on one or more forms of American taxpayer funded welfare, new data published by the center for Immigration Studies reveals CIS it's based on 10 years of data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey shows drastic disparities between native born American households and Somali born households in Minnesota where nearly 80,000 residents have Somali ancestry compared to zero who had Somali ancestry in 1990. Got that? In particular, the data shows that 81% of Minnesota households headed by Somali refugees on one or more forms of welfare, including 27% who are on a cash welfare, 54% who are on food stamps, 73% are on Medicaid. You wonder why your expenses are going up. Compare this massive welfare use to native born Americans residing In Minnesota, only 21% of whom are on one or more forms of welfare, including just 6% who are on cash welfare, 7% who are on food stamps and 18% who are on Medicaid. So we're not supposed to be importing.

People into the country who are using.

Up our welfare system? No. Period. For example, 89% of Somali headed households with children in Minnesota with children are on one or more forms of welfare. That's 90%. 86% are on Medicaid.

About 62% of Somali households with children.

In the state on food stamps, 23% take cash welfare. Nearly every Somali household with children receives.

Some form of welfare.

CIS researcher Jason Richwine writes.

Again, the gap between Somali households with.

Children on welfare and native born American households with children on welfare in Minnesota is very wide.

Three in 10 native Minnesota households with.

Children take one or more forms of welfare, 6% on cash welfare, 10% on food stamps, 28% on Medicaid. Disparities between native born Americans and Somali refugees in Minnesota go deeper than welfare use. The data shows Somali refugees who are in or near poverty in Minnesota surpasses.

66% while fewer than 2 in 1.

Native born Minnesotans live in near poverty.

While just 0.7% of native born Americans.

In Minnesota speak English. Less than very well. Speak English less than very well.

Almost 60% of Somali refugees say they.

Do not speak English very well, clearing.

Nearly half who have lived in Minnesota for more than eight for more than 10 years. So they're not really part of the country.

They take from the country, their own community, their own families within community speak their own language. No interest in assimilation, no interest in.

The nation whatsoever except what they intake. That's what's here. That's what the Free Press article is all about. I'll probably come under attack just for reporting this.

I don't care. Somali refugees in Minnesota also tend to be vastly less educated than their Minnesotan counterparts.

So we're bringing Somali, literally the country.

Of Somalia into the United States.

With.

No hope of assimilation. None.

While only 5% of native born Americans.

In Minnesota do not have high school diplomas, almost 40% of Somali refugees do not, including more than 28% who have lived in Minnesota for more than 10 years. Disaster. Absolute unmitigated disaster. But the Democrats don't care. Spencer Cox the Rhinos, they don't care. They refuse to call it out for what it is.

Refused to call that for what it is.

What it is is a disaster. And it's actually happening. But the media, of course, look, the media lie. That's the bottom line. That's what they do. And they've done it enough to us. So we should know this by now, right? Yeah. So they'll talk about, we don't like the way Trump talks and we don't.

Like this and we don't like that. If he spoke proper English or if he spoke with a British accent and used hundred dollar words and his etiquette.

Was beyond reproach, they'd still trash him. It wouldn't matter. They'd still attack him. It's not really the way he says things that bother the, bothers him. It's the fact that he speaks the truth about things that nobody wants to talk about. I mean, I've been talking about it, but you know what I mean, people in politics and so forth, they don't want to talk about it, so they'll just dismiss, you know, that's racist, you know, that's a bigot. You know, all people aren't the same. You know, I just gave you statistics that CIS used from the Census Bureau over the course of the last 10 years. They don't lie.

I just read you an article by.

A brilliant woman who's an American who grew up in Somalia, Mogadishu, and she's telling us, telling us how the family structure works, how the culture works, and why the community in Minnesota is the way it is. Nobody wants to hear it. Nobody wants to hear it. I've been telling you that Islamism and Americanism. Islamism and Americanism cannot possibly coexist.

They can't.

And I'm attacked as attacking Muslims. I'm not attacking Muslims, not attacking Muslims in Indonesia. I'm not attacking Muslims who, who are reformers.

I'm attacking Islamists. Islamists. And they deserve to be challenged and.

Questioned and called out.

They absolutely deserve it.

Erica Kirk did an interview today and she said she's had enough of these, these, these evil suggestions and allegations about her husband, including about his assassination, all these conspiracy theories. And it is greatly upsetting to her. She calls them evil conspiracies about her husband's death. And she was on Fox explaining it. Yes, on Outnumbered. It's a great show, by the way.

And by God, without, within hours, truly.

An enormously evil and diabolical person. Kitarlson.

You see that Mr. Producer, he wants to have a chat. He puts out, he puts out a video basically countering her on Charlie Kirk's assassination.

And he praises Owens. He says, look, I'm not taking sides on this, what does that mean, taking sides. But he celebrates Owens and some of the other more contemptible, unconscionable morons.

And so he just put it out.

And I posted to it so you could see. He wants you to see it. That's not why I'm posting it. I want you to see what we're dealing with here. A truly, I think, unhinged individual who needs a tremendous amount of help. I really believe that just one man's opinion, he's a complete psycho, a lunatic. And I really believe that his friends should, should suggest that he get the help that he clearly needs, in my view. And then there's Erica Kirk. I posted what she said on Fox today. Rejects evil conspiracies about her husband and she should. She's had enough of it.

And she's got to be talking about.

Candace Owens and some of the others.

And there, and there's right on her heels, there's Katarlson, fresh back from Qatar.

Buying a home there, I guess.

Fresh back from a few weeks ago, trashing.

Jews in Israel and lauding the Hitler apologists, asking questions and that sort of thing.

Just when you think this guy has.

Hit the lowest point any person can hit, there he is, whether he's trashing Jews or Christians, trashing our country, promoting Sharia law, whether he is wet kissing Putin, the prime minister of Qatar, the prime minister of Iran.

Would you do this, folks?

Would you, Would you seriously?

Is that your view?

Soft peddling Hitler in the Third Reich, trashing Churchill and Britain's really remarkable battle against the Third Reich while we were isolationists holding back until we were attacked at Pearl harbor? He's a 911 conspiracy theorist. He's a Pearl harbor conspiracy theorist. I just think the guy is.

I.

Think he's a nut.

Mark the vin.

The great one makes your weekend even better. This is the best of Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

I think Erica Kirk is a remarkable young lady. You've seen a lot of her on Fox promoting Charlie's last book. And if she doesn't promote it, nobody does. So that's very important. But I'll tell you what's really bothering me, America. These people who are trashing her on the left and these neo fascists on the right, these people are evil. Absolutely contemptible. For Tucker Katarlson to do what looked like a five minute hostage film this.

Flabby little Pratt frat boy who grew.

Up with enormous wealth. His father married an heir to the Swanson frozen food family. He went to private schools, boarding school. All he does is trash our country, whine about our country. Our country sucks. Our government sucks. Our economy sucks. Meanwhile, this guy, there's a massive home somewhere in Maine, a massive home somewhere in Florida. And now he's going to have a home in Qatar, although he left Qatar very quickly after he made a complete ass out of himself. Trashing our country, trashing our way of life, trashing our allies. He's a contemptible buffoon. But he puts out this video where he does his usual statement, evil, vile, libelous statement, and then he pretends he doesn't make the statement. And everybody's on to him now. Everybody knows he's a phony and a fraud. If I were saying, but I'm not saying. And I have friends on both sides. But then again. And what is this guy? He's no governor on his mouth either.

These are putz, that's it.

Evil, hateful, nasty, spoiled little brat. That's the way apparently it's been for a long time.

He's a media creation. He's done literally nothing.

Think about it.

Literally nothing. Not a great lawyer, not a great surgeon, not even an adequate or average plumber or electrician. He contributed nothing.

To America.

Nothing. But he continues to trash America.

He is not on a warpath against.

Christians, particularly pastors who actually preach the gospel. He hates Jews.

That is very obvious now.

He is sort of the Pap Buchanan of the modern age or worse. He trashes the greatest generation. We platforms these Hitlerites. He rewrites history like Marxists condemning Churchill and Britain, which were defending themselves and their allies. I mean, how sick can you be? They use Saulinski tactics, try to viciously destroy anybody who disagrees with them. Anybody usually attacking their race, their religion, their ethnicity. You know, we know what Nick Fuentes is. Nick Fuentes is a Klansman in a funeral suit. That's what he is. Nothing smart about the guy. Nothing new about the guy. Massive amounts of people listen to his program from overseas, particularly Muslim countries. He's a grifter. That's how he makes his money. Another ass wipe. But Katarlson was born with a platinum spoon in his mouth. He was handed everything. He still handed everything. Who have. He has billionaires financing him. He's got people with links to Qatar, if not directly, indirectly. He's Qatar's favorite lapdog. Not even a close second out there. He's Qatar's favorite lapdog. The same Qatar that was involved in the murder of 3,000Americans and others on 9 11. The same Qatar that supported the Taliban, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas? The same Qatar that enslaves tens of thousands of people. Who is this fool? This moron? Has he said something intelligent?

No.

Has he written something intelligent? No. Has he done anything useful? No. He's a concoction. A concoction. Laughing all the way to the bank. That would be the bank of Qatar. He's a hideous person. That video that he did. With respect to Erica Kirk was unbelievably loathsome. He can't come out and say, leave her alone, Candace, leave her alone. Instead he's got to spew the conspiracy theories. I don't know if they're true or not. I know they're not true. I know the Mossad did not play a role in Charlie Kirk's death. The FBI and the Utah police got their man and he's on trial now. There's not some massive conspiracy involving a judge, a potential jury, prosecutors, defense lawyers and everybody else. I mean, this isn't a tough one. The guy was caught red handed. He's carving stuff into bullets. They've got his texts. His parents turned him over to the cops. I mean, if this isn't open and shut, then. I've never seen open and shut. Of course there'll be a trial.

[Public Service Announcer]

But.

[Mark Levin]

Why not just participate in but gaslight the conspiracy theories? Everybody knows that Candace Owens is a psycho job. She's a head case. Everybody knows she's an anti Semitic pig. Everybody knows it. Her father in law knows it. I just assumed it didn't need a lot of explanation. Everybody knows that Steve Bannon was a crook. That he confessed to it that he was ripping off maybe many of you to get money to build a wall that he was never going to build. He pled guilty to it and he begged President Trump for a pardon at the federal level so he wouldn't be charged there. That's what he is. He's a crook. Everybody knows it, especially him. Everybody knows Marjorie Traitor Greene is one of the dumbest people to ever serve in the House of Representatives. Everybody knows it. The left knows it. That's why they keep platforming her. It's Marjorie Trader Greene comma imbecile. And I can go down the list. Leave Erica Kirk alone. Leave her alone. She's a grieving widow. She's trying, trying to do the very best that she can. I haven't talked to her. I don't know her that well. I did know Charlie quite well when I would go to TP USA events and I haven't been invited there in three or four years. But I don't ask to be invited to anything. She was always with him. She loved him. She has children with him, young children who she needs to raise without their father. He was horrifically assassinated. Get off her back. Leave her alone. And don't put out your phony video, you little bastard. Katarlson. We're playing all sides, all sides. Because this fool, in the end, he failed as a journalist, he failed on tv. He now has this little niche that he's carved out, but that little niche requires him to attract as many psychopaths as many unstable bigots, racists, anti Semites, anti Christians, anti Americans as possible. It requires him to attract as many foreign Islamists in Qatar, in Pakistan, all over the world as he possibly can. And his Saul Linsky tactics against some of the most decent people you could ever know. Some of the most decent people you'll ever meet.

They were working for a while, But then I decided enough is enough. I don't like bullies, I don't like bigots, I don't like racists. I don't like anti Semites. I don't like individuals who grift off of our country while trashing and undermining our country.

What's being done to Erica Kirk is nauseating.

From the Marxist Islamist left and from the neo fascist right.

Sometimes America things are as they actually seem. Sometimes America facts actually are facts. Who benefits from these conspiracy theories? The slobs, the slugs like Tarlson? To attract more and more people, they have to. Unfortunately for many podcasters and self appointed phony influencers, you've got to keep hyping the preposterous, you got to keep hyping the most outrageous. That's what these people do. That's who they are. They're tearing this country apart. They're going to elect the Democrats in the midterm elections. They're going to elect a Democrat in 2028, and then they're going to blame all of you, Mr. And Mrs. America, or they're going to blame Donald Trump. I see it already. They're certainly not going to blame themselves. And when kentarlson and his ilk tell you that they hate the Republican Party, they despise the Republican Party, that they're not going to vote Republican, they're already telling you what they're doing. I want to ask you, Mr. And Mrs. America, I have the most patriotic audience in America.

That's you.

Do you think we're going to attract voters as constitutional conservatives.

If we embrace racism, bigotry, misogyny, anti Semitism, anti Christianity, anti Americanism? Do you think.

Is there a party.

In America that's ever run on those policies?

Is that who you are? Is that who you want to be associated with? You literally want to pay for that and subsidize that? This guy's laughing at you all the way to the bank. What do you think Rush Limbaugh would say today? He never liked Kitarlson in the first place. What do you think he'd say about him? Seriously, America, what do you think?

I'm sure I'm not alone, not in this audience of red blooded Americans, but I want to speak to the men for a moment. What do you think about some piss ant trashing a widow like this? Is that okay by you? I'm asking the men in this audience, is that okay by you that some guy keeps gaslighting this stuff, trying to make money off this stuff, trying to get more eyes, more grift? I mean, ladies and gentlemen, I know we red blooded Americans, we men have not sunk this low. It's time to cut this guy off. It's time to be done with this guy. It's time to throw him out with the trash. Because that's what he is, he's trash.

Mark the Vince.

[Radio Host/Announcer]

We'Re giving you nothing but the best, the best of Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Big announcement when I return from vacation after the Christmas holidays and I'm very excited about it and I think you will be too. So let's go through a few more of these men who signed your Constitution. It made this country what it is today. Ever hear of Nathaniel Gorham I doubt it. He's a delegate from Massachusetts. Gave up an apprenticeship to set up his own successful business. He embarked on an very active life in politics, was one of the most active attendees at the convention. He lost his fortune in 1790, the result of a failed land speculation deal in Massachusetts. A lot of these men lost everything in various ways. That's Nathaniel Gorham, Nicholas Gilman from New Hampshire at the Constitutional Convention he had a distinguished career in the military, served throughout the Revolutionary War, reached the rank of captain in the Continental army. And after the convention he failed in his first bid to become a senator, but succeeded in 1804. This is very fascinating to me and as the new year comes, we're going to spend a lot of time on American history, early history and beyond. Because I really feel that if we're going to save this republic, if we're going to get our youth back, that we have to make really good use of these platforms, not this other sick stuff that's being pushed out there. How about David B R E A R L E Y. From New Jersey. From New Jersey. It's a prominent freemason. Let's see here. He served in the Revolutionary War as a captain, then a colonel, going on to a career as a judge. After the war, at the convention he opposed proportional representation in Congress. William Livingston. Actually, many people may well know about William Livingstone. Although his family wanted him to pursue a career as a businessman, he chose the law with a great success thanks to his skills as a writer. Tiring of the legal practice, he had semi retired to the life of a gentleman farmer and a poet by 1771. You've heard of Alexander Hamilton, but I want to focus on those you've not heard of. Richard Dobbs Speight of North Carolina, a signer of the Constitution of the United States. Orphaned at the age of eight, he was sent to Ireland for his education and returned to America in 1778, whereupon he jumped into the Revolutionary War as a member of the state militia of North Carolina. He attended every session of the Constitutional conventions. Almost stop it there. We'll pick it up again tomorrow. We're just going through some of these names just to create some, you know, interest and motivation. You of course are free to dig in yourself, but it really is fascinating to do this. These men who had so much, so much to do with their founding and the nature of, of your lifestyle and how you live. Very, very important. One of the things I want to focus on now is an article here, the headline in the Telegraph. China would Destroy US Military and fight over Taiwan. Top secret document wars. Now look, yesterday afternoon I was in Washington D.C. i don't like going to Washington D.C. but it's the second time in two weeks and I'll be going next week to the White House.

But.

I'm at this event, invited by the Jerusalem Post to speak for 10 or 12 minutes, which I did. But also there was a guy by the name of Thomas Barrett. He's the envoy to Syria, I believe he's the ambassador to Turkey. He also works with Lebanon and he is absolutely awful. And to hear him speak about his ideas for the plan in the Middle east, so.

Preposterous.

And at the middle of it was Israel. Israel won't get along with Syria, Israel won't get along with Turkey, Israel won't get along with Lebanon. Israel, Israel. I'm going, what is with this guy? They need to create a situation where there's not so much war with Israel and its ally. And I thought to myself, every single war that Israel's been forced to fight has been a defensive war. Even in 1967, as they were being surrounded by the Arab countries, they launched an attack against them in this, in the 1960s Six Day War. And because of the defensive posture, they didn't want to wait to be attacked. Tiny little country. And I was listening to this guy and I was, I was stunned. I could tell he was bad by public comments that are published that he makes, but I was literally stunned.

The idea that Turkey would be part.

Of this international military force in Gaza is outrageous. Erdogan is an Islamist. Erdogan has destroyed Turkey.

Erdogan is a backer of Hamas. Erdogan gave safe haven to a number of the leaders of Hamas, just like Qatar.

Erdogan talks about the elimination of Israel. Erdogan makes some of the most outrageous speeches.

And I'm thinking to myself, is this what the envoy is promoting?

Surely the administration won't agree to something like that, because what would that mean?

That would mean, Mr. Producer and Mr. And Mrs. America, that turkey would be handed a military foothold in Gaza, right on the border with Israel. Right, Mr. Producer. In addition to Turkey working with Syria, Turkey would have a military presence in Syria, which it doesn't now. A military foothold, a significant presence in Gaza, which it doesn't right now. And I'm thinking, what the hell is this? What is that?

Surely the commander in chief won't go for that.

And I pointed out yesterday that the most important, obviously, and yet the smartest.

Voice.

The most pro American, pro Israel voice when it comes to that part of the world in the administration is the president himself. The president himself. The guy also said in an interview in Qatar.

Last week that Israel basically likes to think it's a democracy.

And monarchy probably is better fit for.

That part of the world. Now, look, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not one of these Bush guys who believes that democracy, parliamentary democracy, constitutional demand, whatever you want to call it, works in the Islamist world. I believe I'm the one who has told you that Islamism and Americanism.

Are utterly incompatible. Right.

Who's been saying that for years?

Me. Who's been explaining it for years? Me. And you know why, if you've listened to this program. But the idea. And, and he's up there and he's.

Going round and round about, well, you know, it's the democracy, but this and that. And so I got up there and I said, I don't need a thousand words to tell you that, yes, Israel is a democracy.

[Political Advertiser]

Something.

[Mark Levin]

This guy. Who is this guy? I don't know who this guy is. I don't know. But I was stunned. And I'm not the only one who was stunned. I think most of the audience there was like, what? I know that you can't have all allies, you know, representative republics or parliaments. And I'm well aware of this. We're all well aware of it. We're not stupid. But there are strengths and weaknesses. And certainly you don't open the door.

To Turkey to send its army into.

Gaza on the border with Israel.

You don't give Turkey F35s.

We've already given it to Saudi Arabia.

F35s are not chocolate to be handed out.

It's the most cutting edge technology, period, second to none, and we won't have control over it if one of these countries decides they want to share it with somebody else or somebody within that country wants to decide they want to share it with somebody else. But I literally couldn't believe what I was hearing. I thought maybe I'm in the wrong meeting. Meeting here is this. What is this? Did I walk into the Students for Justice in Palestine meeting on Capitol Hill?

What happened here?
