OA1273 - On June 23, 2026, eight people were sentenced in DOJ's first so-called “Antifa” terrorism prosecution by federal judge Reed O'Connor in the Northern District of Texas to a combined 450 years in federal prison for their participation in a protest held at the Prarieland ICE detention facility on July 4th, 2025. Six of these defendants were charged with what amounted to being present at (or in the vicinity of) the protest, and one who wasn't even there received 30 years for moving a box of First Amendment-protected publications. In this continuing coverage of one of the most unjust criminal prosecutions of the second Trump administration, Matt goes deep on the government's case to show just how shoddy the “material support for terrorism” charges really were, and how DOJ used a few text messages, some consumer fireworks shot off on the 4th of July far from any people or property, and $4805.95 in property damage to engineer sentencing enhancements which virtually guaranteed that these protesters would receive harsher punishments than many defendants in the federal system charged with far more serious offenses. What does all of this mean for the future of dissent in the U.S., especially given the national security memo which promised heightened investigation and prosecution of “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, [ ]anti-Christianity… and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality” after the assassination of Charlie Kirk? Then in today's footnote: An Arizona appeals court takes on one man's truly contemptible email address.

As promised, here is our episode about Pope Leo XIV's recent encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, in which he brings to bear Catholic social teaching on the perils of artificial intelligence and what they reveal about what it really means to be human being. It's a distinctly Augustinian reading of our nature and destiny, marked not just by Leo's attention to our limits as flawed and fallible creatures, but the joy and hope found by living into them—which, finally, becomes his plea to see life from the perspective of the lowly, the downcast, the abandoned.  To help us explain such a rich document, we had on our friend Jack Hanson, one of the most perceptive American writers on the Catholic Church. We tease out the connections between this Leo's first and encyclical and that of his namesake Leo XIII's Rerum novarum, an intervention on behalf of working people during the industrial and considered the origin of Catholic social teaching; Leo's "Augustinianism"; the encyclical's critique of artificial intelligence and what that has to do with its account of what really makes us human; and more.

Tulsi Gabbard dropped a true bombshell confirming what most reasonable Americans already knew: Dr. Anthony Fauci lied, broke the law, and covered it up. Gabbard, who is leaving the office of national intelligence due to her husband's cancer diagnosis, is releasing Fauci's communications, essentially providing the receipts for a massive scandal. But will prosecutions come? In this episode of The Sentinel Report with Alex Newman, we dive into this can't-miss story, plus the resignation of the U.K.'s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Major League Baseball's persecution of Christian athletes, and so much more. Guests joining to analyze the news: The legendary G. Edward Griffin, the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, breaks down the death of former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan and why the Fed is unconstitutional and, frankly, horrible. Next, Phil Linderman, the co-founder and chairman of the Ben Franklin Fellowship and board member at the Center for Immigration Studies, reviews the Trump administration's immigration policies and articulates why the phrase "isolationism" is a pejorative made by internationalists to undermine Americanism. Finally, Titus Blair, the author of Tiny Church, talks all things AI and how Christians should prepare.

Send us Fan MailIn this part 1 examination of documents from the New Left period, encompassing the Civil Rights movement as well as several other struggles, I highlight some of the most important insights from speeches and writings particularly from the era of 1957-1967. If you like this part 1 series, I encourage my audience to also watch the part 2 examination of New Left documents highlighting critical ideas from 1968-1973 as well as my video introducing the broader historical context of the New Left period.This was the height of organized union labor power in American history when people were questioning the tenets of capitalism, Americanism, education/pedagogy, costly/unwarranted wars and division, and what rights and duties citizens should uphold in creating a new world either through reform or revolution.

Chuck Todd reacts to Tuesday's elections and what the fallout means for both parties. Then he discusses the latest on the US-Iran deal and why it's already a failure for the Trump administration, and why the Kennedy Center and White House ballroom drama signals the beginning of the end for the Trump era. Plus, he discusses the most underreported story of the week.Then historian Dominic Erdozain — author of To Love a Country — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a deeply thoughtful conversation about the difference between Americanism and the actual promise of America, and what it means to love a country honestly rather than mythologically. Erdozain argues that Joe Biden's "this is not who we are" framing of Trump-era nationalism was simply not accurate — the darker currents in American life are very much part of who we've always been, and pretending otherwise makes them harder to confront. He pushes back hard on the version of American exceptionalism that requires looking down on others, noting that while America was a genuine pioneer of democracy, it was painfully slow on feminism and racial equality, and that democracy itself can become a hollow shell for something tyrannical when it's imposed rather than consented to. Erdozain offers a fascinating historical excavation of how the South's distinct identity was forged by the Civil War, why that war seeded the worst possible conditions for Black freedom, and how Germany managed to avoid the "lost cause" mythology that still poisons American politics. He even takes aim at the Gettysburg Address — arguing its soaring language was later weaponized to justify wars it was never meant to bless, and that the enduring American myth that unity comes through blood and conflict is a dangerous one.The conversation broadens into a sweeping meditation on patriotism, war, and historical memory. Erdozain observes that today's reviled "elites" are essentially the "Yankees" of the 19th century in the Southern imagination, that the greatest war hawks tend to be people who never actually fought, and that America still hasn't reckoned with how profoundly 9/11 changed its society — pointing out that the people who championed the Iraq war have never been ostracized for it. He reflects on John F. Kennedy's hard-won realization that weapons alone were never the true guarantor of American security and Kennedy's deliberate effort to dampen American hatred of the Soviets, contrasts that with the "peace through strength" mantra of the Reagan era, and warns about the very real danger of a proxy conflict spiraling out of Ukraine. Erdozain argues that the "city on a hill" mentality, however flattering, inevitably curdles into nationalism — and that whenever a country fully embraces nationalism, someone always loses their freedom. But his book isn't a counsel of despair: he makes the case that America's singular ability to assimilate immigrants is one of its true superpowers, and that genuine patriotism means challenging the country to actually live up to the ideals it committed to paper. His closing pitch for why both a liberal and a conservative should read the book is the heart of the whole conversation — loving a country, like loving a person, means holding it to its highest self rather than excusing its worst instincts.Finally, Chuck gives his Top 5 most overlooked races and then, in "Ask Chuck", he answers your questions about the U.S.-Iran situation and sports playoff systems.

In this provocative commentary, the hosts highlight a perceived double standard in how hate symbols are treated in America based on political affiliation. The segment opens by discussing two recent instances in South Carolina—in Richland County and Hilton Head—where individuals faced severe backlash and enhanced criminal charges under local hate crime ordinances for spray-painting swastikas on property. The hosts contrast these local crackdowns with the national political stage, focusing on the unfolding controversy surrounding Graham Platner, the progressive candidate who just won the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate in Maine. Despite mainstream media confirmations and reports from ex-girlfriends that Platner sports an SS Totenkopf tattoo—the symbol worn by Nazi concentration camp administrators—his popularity among the Democratic base actually surged. After his main primary opponent, Governor Janet Mills, suspended her campaign, Platner's polling numbers jumped from 61% to a commanding 73% victory. The commentary sharply critiques the political Left, accusing primary voters of harboring a deep anti-Americanism and utilizing online platforms like Blue Sky to mask extreme ideologies, concluding that the establishment is willing to overlook literal hate symbols when they are attached to an aligned political agenda.

George Khalaf, Republican candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives from Legislative District 3, shares his insights on the importance of patriotism, Americanism, and the dangers of Marxist ideology in our education system. With a personal anecdote about his own family's experience with the Lebanese Civil War, he highlights the need to remember what America represents and the values that make us unique. The conversation also touches on the importance of being a "happy warrior" in the face of adversity, and how our posture should be one of hope and optimism, even in the darkest of times.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is a radical leftist who seeks to destroy the country's legal, judicial, and electoral systems. He's demanding that the courts deliver whatever his party demands and, in doing so, he is also trying to intimidate the justices of the Supreme Court. He says, "everything is on the table," but the Constitution belongs to all of us and is not on the table. Later, the situation in New York City, where Jews, synagogues, and Jewish neighborhoods face violent attacks, hounding, and harassment, is a disaster and disgrace—but it is occurring across the entire country. The ruling class is to blame, particularly intensified under the Biden administration, with open borders, efforts to undermine ICE and border patrol, and the failure to remove threats. Urgent action is required: take every legal and law enforcement step to deport imams and phony scholars, shut down groups like CAIR, and defund and clean out colleges and universities. Also, people are fleeing blue states, which are depopulating, while red states are gaining population through domestic migration. In NYC, Mamdani is actively trying to force out the Jewish community, then the Christian community and capitalists, in order to transform the city into a Marxist Islamist one, regardless of resulting poverty or debt. Both Marxism and Islamism are incompatible with Americanism, rooted in Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values of live-and-let-live, as they demand destruction or compliance. Mayor Mamdani has yet to come out with a forceful emotional condemnation of Islamo-Nazis brutalizing and harassing Jews in New York communities and synagogues. He is deliberately pushing Jews, businesses, and the middle class out of New York through high property taxes and a phony budget involving wealth redistribution - aiming to transform the city into an Islamist capital.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, people are fleeing blue states, which are depopulating, while red states are gaining population through domestic migration. In NYC, Mamdani is actively trying to force out the Jewish community, then the Christian community and capitalists, in order to transform the city into a Marxist Islamist one, regardless of resulting poverty or debt. Both Marxism and Islamism are incompatible with Americanism, rooted in Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values of live-and-let-live, as they demand destruction or compliance. We need urgent legal strategies on immigration to combat anti-Semitism, and a full-scale movement starting in places like NYC. Also, the Washington Post reports on a confidential Pentagon assessment, which was a leak, and it highlights shifts favoring China in military, economic, and diplomatic spheres. This leak is diabolical and this article is Chinese propaganda. But understand – China is our enemy. Later, the Iranian regime needs to be destroyed now to prevent future nuclear weapons. We need to arm the people of Iran and get an absolute victory against the regime.  Afterward, the New York Times is attacking President Trump's proposed Golden Dome missile defense system, which aims to protect the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii from nuclear attack using multiple defensive layers. A purely defensive system is essential against threats from Iran, terrorists, and potential nuclear suicide bombers, yet Democrats prioritize other spending such as health care for illegal aliens.

American Grit Season 1: In this episode, Dale Partridge challenges you to rethink what it truly means to be American. Drawing from the Bible's clear categories for Israel—native-born, sojourner, foreigner, and outsider—he explains why heritage Americans, rooted in our Western European Christian founding stock, must receive priority in our nation. America was not established as a generic proposition nation, but as a distinct people formed for their own posterity. Dale makes the case that immigration without genuine assimilation is invasion. He defines true assimilation as adopting our language, culture, and Christian values—and ultimately intermarrying with the historic American people over generations. He rejects hyphenated Americanism and, quoting Theodore Roosevelt, calls for complete national unity. Christian nationalism, he argues, must be truly nationalist, not a Christian version of multiculturalism. You will also hear Dale address how multiculturalism creates inevitable conflict, along with honest discussions on geography, skin color, and IQ. The episode closes with the weekly audit, covering Muslim issues in Europe, the urgent need for an organized Christian coalition, and revealing church polls on Israel, feminism, immigration, and race.

Host Dale Partridge launches American Grit Season 1 on American Identity and argues that defining “American” requires biblical categories of belonging drawn from Israel (native-born, sojourner, foreigner, outsider). He criticizes egalitarianism and claims heritage Americans should have priority over immigrants, contending America is a Western European Christian nation formed for its own posterity and that immigration without assimilation is invasion. He defines assimilation as adapting to language, culture, Christian values, and ultimately intermarriage over multiple generations, rejects hyphenated Americanism using a Theodore Roosevelt quote, and says Christian nationalism must include nationalism rather than Christianized multiculturalism. He argues multiculturalism creates internal conflict, discusses geography, skin color, and IQ claims, and then covers a weekly audit featuring comments on Muslim rape discussions, the need for organized Christian coalition, and a poll on church issues (Israel, feminism, immigration, race).Shop the store at https://shop.newchristianright.comPre-Order Dale's new book 19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment: https://newchristianright.com/19

Professional Failure and the HUAC AssaultAfter purchasing a story idea about a serial killer from Orson Welles, Chaplin produced Monsieur Verdoux, which became his first major professional flop in America. The film's failure coincided with a massive assault by the House Un-American Activities Committee and J. Edgar Hoover, who targeted Chaplin for his personal life and perceived radicalism. Despite FBI evidence that Chaplin was never a communist, authorities used his British citizenship and films like The Great Dictator to build a narrative of un-Americanism. This cumulative character assassination was spearheaded by columnists like Hedda Hopper, who harbored a deep personal loathing for Chaplin. Guest: Scott Eyman. (5/8)1905, RESIDENCE OF E.T.

Gary Dorrien is the Niebuhr Chair at Union, and nobody alive can walk you through the whole arc of Reinhold Niebuhr with his range — from the German-American pastor's kid at Elmhurst and Eden, to the Yale divinity student who felt like a country boy among thoroughbreds, to the Detroit preacher at Bethel Church writing articles in 1916 begging German Americans to prove their Americanism months before Wilson took the country into war, to the young professor at Union who felt like an imposter for a decade and overcompensated by ridiculing everyone in sight, to the author of Moral Man and Immoral Society (1932), the bomb that ended the social gospel's fifty-year run and rerouted the entire field of American social ethics overnight. This is the second live Q&A for the Theology for Troublemakers class, and Gary, Aaron Stauffer, and I work through student questions covering the whole trajectory: why Niebuhr still towers over the field; what H. Richard's devastating private letter did to his brother's theology; how he metabolized Augustine into Christian realism in the Gifford Lectures that became Nature and Destiny; why Children of Light and Children of Darkness (1944) is the road not taken; and how Niebuhr drifted into establishment Democratic Party machinery with no emotional drama at all — the one transition he made smoothly, and arguably the one that cost the most. Plus the neocons who stole him, William Cavanaugh calling Gary a heretic at AAR in Montreal, Ron Stone tearing up when he says "saint," and the legendary Claremont nickname Five-Beer Barthian. Gary and Aaron are both coming to Theology Beer Camp in Kansas City in October. The class lives at homebrewedclasses.com. JOIN ⁠THE CLASS - Theology for Troublemakers: Christian Social Ethics from the Margins⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This 6-week online course, led by Dr. Gary Dorrien and Dr. Aaron Stauffer, recovers the radical tradition of Christian social ethics — from Reverdy Ransom and Reinhold Niebuhr to James Cone and the Welfare Rights Movement — and asks what faithfulness demands of us right now. Weekly lectures, live Q&A conversations, guest lecturers, and an online community included.

Over the last week, a spate of Jewish communal targets have been attacked in North London. According to its founder Theodore Herzl, Zionism was supposed to normalize the position of Jews in the world. Has Zionism failed or is a new consensus form of Zionism still the answer to these outbursts of Disorderly Antisemitism? In 2026, April 21 is Israel's Independence Day. These are tough times for the Jewish State in international public opinion. By all accounts it has made mistakes, violated international law, committed war crimes. But it has also been defending itself against an unprecedented multipronged assault.  Other states don't risk losing their international legitimacy because they have bad or immoral leadership. Support among Americans and Europeans for Israel is down and even young diasporic Jews report increasingly negative appraisals of Israel.  To investigate the situation in the Middle East, the position of Jews in Britain, and the rise of anti-semitic attacks on Britain's Jewish community, I am joined by returning Champion Phil Rosenberg. He is the President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.  Phil is a former Labour councilor for West Hampstead and previously Director of the Faiths Forum for London. In today's episode, we wish to use this commemorative day to look at a few deeper questions:  How is Antisemitism surging globally and why? How does  Antisemitism manifest itself in the UK and Australia and how it is fascinating how differently it portrays from anti-Americanism? What is Zionism? Is it relevant in today's world? Is it part of an orderly world or is it a Disordering ideal? What is the Role of international entities and Diasporic Jews in supporting Israel's right to defend itself while criticizing certain policies?  To join our Mega Orderers Club for ad free listening, early episode releases and exclusive access to live events, visit disordershow.com/club To tell us more about Disorder, visit disordershow.com/survey  Producer: George McDonagh Subscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/ Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow Show Notes Links: A Partial list of the North London Arson Attacks: https://x.com/philr_r/status/2045605612072132860?s=46&t=cw4unVonh1qJ-YBPzgIl2Q Origen Story on the Meaning of Zionism : https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/zionism-part-1/id1624704966?i=1000618863154 Call Me Back Pod..

May we resolve to live not by lies, political correctness, wokeness, or ‘repressive tolerance‘ by any name. May we live by the Truth alone, and may God have mercy on us. Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. — Theodore Dalrymple (Anthony Daniels) Frontpage Magazine interview (August 31, 2005) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. — Romans 10:8-13 KJV Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. — John 14:6 KJV Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played Triggered!

That’s not ‘Holocaust denial’. It’s not denying the reality of genocidal tragedy – on the contrary, it affirms the tragedy(s) everywhere. This group does not have a monopoly on tragedy, as R.J. Rummel proved in DEATH BY GOVERNMENT: GENOCIDE AND MASS MURDER in which he coined the term ‘democide’. Despite relentless attempts to denigrate him (wonder why?)

The case centers on a July 4th, 2025 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, where a group of individuals armed with AR-15s and handguns opened fire on law enforcement, shooting a police officer in the neck. Two of the defendants actually fired weapons. The other six were convicted largely for wearing black, throwing fireworks, and holding anti-fascist beliefs. Hawk, a former criminal defense attorney, walks through the federal indictments, the conspiracy charges, and how Donald Trump's National Security Presidential Memo Number 7 and a December 2025 directive from then-Attorney General Pam Bondi turned what were essentially vandalism and protest charges into domestic terrorism prosecutions carrying 55-year federal sentences. The legal framework being used targets anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, anti-Americanism, support for trans rights, and protesting ICE as ideological indicators of domestic terrorism. Hawk examines how conspiracy law allows the acts of one person to be applied to an entire group, how "providing material support to terrorists" became the anchor charge against people who never touched a gun, and why Antifa, which has no formal organizational structure, membership rolls, or leadership, is being treated as a designated terrorist organization. The Pam Bondi memo, Kash Patel's hollowing out of the FBI, and the gutting of the DOJ are all part of the picture Hawk lays out in one of his most detailed and legally grounded episodes yet.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra is no stranger to diplomacy — but even he admits this moment is different. In an exclusive, full-length interview with Ezra Levant, Hoekstra speaks candidly about the growing strain between Canada and the United States — a relationship once considered unshakeable, now tested by politics, trade disputes, and a surge in anti-American sentiment north of the border. Polls show anti-Americanism in Canada at new highs. But according to Hoekstra, that shift isn't accidental — it's being fuelled by political leaders and amplified by a media class increasingly hostile to the United States. So how did we get here? And more importantly — can it be fixed? In this one-hour conversation, Hoekstra tackles the biggest flashpoints in Canada–U.S. relations, including: Escalating trade tensions and the future of the auto sector Military cooperation and continental defence The rise in anti-Semitic violence — including attacks on U.S. diplomatic targets Alberta's independence movement and the future of Canadian energy Pierre Poilievre's outreach to the United States It's a rare, behind-the-scenes look at diplomacy during a period of real uncertainty — and a chance to hear directly from the man representing American interests in Canada at a time when those interests are increasingly under fire. The interview is presented in full, unedited — a candid, wide-ranging discussion that covers the waterfront of issues shaping the future of the Canada–U.S. relationship. Watch the full interview and decide for yourself: is the relationship broken — or just strained? And what would it take to get it back on track?

David Harsanyi, senior writer at The Washington Examiner and co-host of the You’re Wrong podcast with Mollie Hemingway, on the state of American patriotism and the country's exceptionalism. They delve into the decline of patriotic views among young people and the impact of the education system on shaping American history. David shares his observations on the lack of pageantry surrounding the upcoming SemiQuincentennial celebration and the surprising lack of American flags in liberal neighborhoods. They also discuss the rise of anti-Americanism on both the Left and the Right, including the phenomenon of platforming conspiracy theories and the dangers of normalizing vile behavior. Also discussed is The White House’s failure to correctly define the “imminent threat” of Iranian nuclear proliferation at the onset of the Iran war and the conspiracy theories and misinformation that are spread through the world of Right Wing podcasting.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Levin. 91% of MAGA Approves Iran Action, 50% of Right Wing Podcasters Disapprove. Who are they Really! America's Role in Reshaping Iran's Future For this entire Mark Levin Show visit - https://youtu.be/vgoaq-e4RDI?si=0jCO9FLpYhWxwmgY The Mark Levin Show 91.7K subscribers 4,380 views Premiered Mar 10, 2026 Mark Levin Audio Rewind On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, for the media, and now for most politicians, what's most important is not winning this war against Iran AND ensuring it's not replaced by another monstrous regime, but the price of gasoline on a daily basis. If this military campaign is ended prematurely, and the second phase of ensuring the institution of a civil government is not accomplished, chances are this entire effort will be for naught.  The economic, geo-political, and national security gains, which have been immense, and the stated goal of liberating the Iranian people, which initiated this process, could become a disaster in every respect -- including political. After we destroyed the Japanese regime in WWII, the U.S. wrote their constitution and installed a government that would be aligned with us.  We must give very focused thought to what comes after the Iranian regime's navy, air force, missiles, and top leadership are destroyed.  It still has a standing army, secret police, and an entire Islamist-supporting infrastructure.  There are many approaches to dealing with this short of a democracy project or sending hundreds of thousands of soldiers.  But to be clear, if a void is created and left there, and we do not fill it (perhaps with our allies) or significantly influence how it is tilled, it most definitely will be filled by the forces in Iran that remain from the old regime with the support of their allies, including China and Russia. Also, polls show that 91% approve of President Trump's handling of the Iran situation among MAGA supporters and 83% among Republicans. Since Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Steve Bannon, and Candace Owens opposed this military campaign, their audience must largely consist of leftists, anti-Semites, foreigners, Islamists, Marxists, and Democrats. Later, Democrats fiercely oppose voter ID requirements, particularly photo IDs, despite broad public support across all races.  Photo IDs are routinely required for everyday activities, yet Democrats claim they are too difficult to obtain, especially for Black people and married women, which is inherently racist and condescending. Without photo ID verification, there is no reliable way to confirm a voter's identity, prevent double voting, or stop impersonation, particularly in the 11 states (mostly Democratic) that do not require any ID.  Finally, Dr James Lindsay calls in and argues that efforts to drive a wedge between Jews and Christians, and to redefine Americanism, stem from multiple interconnected motives. Primarily, opponents of President Trump are now attempting to weaken him and his agenda from within by fracturing his coalition. This includes pushing the Republican Party toward a more radical, identity-based politics inspired by failed European conservatism, moving away from the traditional American ideal of equal citizenship regardless of background. Influencers driving these narratives are motivated by a mix of genuine ideological commitment to paleoconservative or Buchanan-style views, financial incentives like chasing clicks, payments, bot amplification, and foreign boosting, all converging to reorganize the Republican Party and sever U.S.-Israel ties to diminish America's global defensive posture.

One answer is about the Iranian people — especially the Persians who fled the ayatollahs and built new lives in Canada. Toronto and Vancouver are full of them. Many came here after the Islamic Revolution turned a modernizing U.S. ally into a brutal theocracy. Most are secular. Most despise the regime. Most dream of seeing their country free again. That Iran is worth sympathizing with. The other answer is about the regime. The Islamic Republic is not just another dictatorship. It is a fascist theocracy built on anti-Americanism, anti-Israel hatred, terrorism and religious fanaticism. It arms proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah. It targets civilians on purpose. It wants nuclear weapons. And unlike secular tyrannies, it is not constrained by ordinary ideas of deterrence or mutually assured destruction. That regime is now on everyone's mind as Israel and the United States strike Iranian military assets, missiles and nuclear facilities. But Iran's response is never limited to the battlefield. It lashes out asymmetrically — through terrorism, proxies, intimidation and soft targets. That includes the West. Jewish institutions in Europe and North America have been attacked. Synagogues in Canada have been shot at. A U.S. consulate was targeted. And yet even now, Canada's political class cannot bring itself to speak clearly about what Iran is — or what it is doing here. Take Mark Carney. It has now come out that a Canadian military installation was attacked by Iran two weeks ago. Thankfully, no Canadians were hurt. But Carney kept it quiet. And when finally asked about it, his answer was not outrage, not retaliation, not even a serious condemnation. His answer was that Canada would not take part in “offensive actions.” Offensive actions? Canada was attacked. Retaliating against an attack is not “offensive.” Keeping it secret and then scolding reporters for asking about it is not leadership. It is weakness. And Carney is not alone. Gregor Robertson, now a federal Liberal, managed to invoke the war with Iran not to condemn terrorism, not to denounce the regime, but to explain away Canada's housing crisis. Apparently Iran is now to blame for home prices too. It was absurd. It made no sense. But it revealed something important: to these people, Iran is not chiefly a terror state. It is a political talking point, a prop to excuse their domestic failures. Evan Solomon was no better. More vague talking points. More mush. More attempts to fold Iran into a generic Liberal message about affordability and “plans.” Not a word of seriousness about the regime itself, or the fact that Iran has agents operating in Canada. Then there is Doug Ford. Back in 2018, Ford said he would not tolerate Al-Quds Day in Ontario — the annual hate march created by the ayatollahs to glorify the destruction of Israel and spread anti-Jewish hatred in the West. And yet for eight years, he tolerated it. Only now, on the eve of this year's march, did Ford suddenly announce he was seeking an injunction to stop it. Not months ago. Not weeks ago. Not even a few days ago. The day before. It was completely unserious. Any court application launched at the last minute was almost certain to fail on timing alone. Ford knew about these annual marches for years. He did nothing. And then, with cameras rolling and the event already imminent, he decided to perform toughness. The police are unserious. The Ontario government is unserious. The federal government is unserious. And in a country this full of Iranian regime sympathizers and agents, that is becoming dangerous. Canada now has leaders who cannot even say plainly that Iran is the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, that it has attacked Canadians, and that its supporters openly organize in this country. That is what they really think about Iran. They think it can be managed. Delayed. Spun. Used. Soft-pedalled. Folded into some other message. They do not treat it as the threat it is. And that may be the most dangerous thing of all. GUEST: Conservative MP Garnett Genuis joins the show to discuss the 84,000 jobs lost in Canada in February and what that says about the country's failing economy.

SLANTED is the debut of writer-director Amy Wang, about a Chinese-American teenager (Shirley Chen) who undergoes an experimental surgery in order to become white. Not like skin-bleaching white. I mean, blonde hair, blue-eyed, McKenna Grace.Joan Huang, ever since her emigration to the U.S. from China as an elementary-school-aged kid, has absorbed and subsequently lived by racial hegemony. Fair-skinned, thin blondes reign supreme. Dark-haired Chinese girls do not. Prom queens don't look like her. The artists plastered on her bedroom walls also don't look like her. Hell, her Snapchats don't even look like her, partially due to a skin-lightening filter made by Ethnos, a company who keeps sending texts praising her loyalty to said filter, offering her a chance to change her life forever.Joan can dress the part of the school's local Regina George protege Olivia (Amelie Zilber), even dye her hair the same color, but as Olivia says, in one of the movie's most scathing lines, "I can still see your black roots." Something more drastic must occur.Joan finally gives Ethnos a shot. They offer her the ability to surgically transform her body, skin tone, hair color, facial structure, all of it, in order to abandon her Chinese identity and become white.Enter Jo (McKenna Grace). She looks like the ideal Joan's always searched for. On the street, she turns heads, elicits the warmest, friendliest smiles. Joan is now beloved, at the expense of the body and face she's always known.And as one can expect from a body horror movie, the MONKEY'S PAW of it all eventually rears its head but what I think allows SLANTED to stand apart from its most-often pitched combination of THE SUBSTANCE & MEAN GIRLS is the length of time by which I learn about Joan Huang. I meet her hard-working dad (Fang Du) who's more optimistic about adopting Americanisms than her mom (Vivian Wu). The movie reveals how racial hegemonies, contradictions and all, are adopted into the psyches of immigrant children. Joan doesn't see this rejection of her Chinese self in service of the benefits of assimilation as anything other than normal. To her, a surgery that rips her hair out of her scalp and cracks her jaw/orbital bones into a mold of a different genetic makeup is merely the logical path forward. She wants to be prom queen, right? Exalted, loved, adored? Like we all do. The roots of this self-hatred run deep and as a result, craft a portrait of someone with little stability regarding her own identity. It's already tough to be a teenager but Joan thinks she has no other recourse. Hell is the body of a teenage girl rejected and judged by the world.SLANTED is now playing, only in theaters.---Music provided Content ID free by @goodkidbandFollow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!⁠

Discover practical insights and inspiring stories from Ken Stern, author of Healthy to 100, on how social ties, lifelong learning, intergenerational engagement, and innovative policies can promote longevity and well-being. This episode explores groundbreaking research and global best practices to help you age actively, purposefully, and connected.About KenKen Stern is a nationally recognized expert on longevity andaging. He is the founder of the Longevity Project and hosts the popular “Century Lives” podcast from the Stanford Center on Longevity. Stern is a best-selling author and has been a frequent contributor to a wide variety of publications including Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and Slate. He is also the former CEO of NPR. He lives in Washington, D.C.Key TakeawaysA person is Seattle or Chicago is now likely to live afull decade less in good health than someone in Tokyo or Singapore.Humans are evolutionarily bred to want to be part of a group and see loneliness as a risk. Loneliness has a direct biological impact on your health, roughly equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.Japan, Singapore, Korea, Italy, and Spain have made social health infrastructure a part of public health policy, especially for older adults. Each has a different approach that is reflective of their own culture and values.You are actively engaged with people when you are social. If you are socially disconnected, you're likely stuck at home, not moving, and not getting social cues from others about how to take care of yourself. In Korea lifelong learning is a constitutional right. Learning in community is important. Lots of people in the U.S consider themselves lifelong learners, but they often learn online or in a solitary way.An organization called the Silver Genzai Human Resources, represents a million Japanese older workers, age 65 to about 102, placing them in part-time work.Plunging birth rates and declining immigration in this USare constricting the traditional labor force. American corporations should be thinking ahead but are stuck in the idea that younger workers are smarter, cheaper, and more technologically savvy. Many cultures value intergenerational relationships because they benefit both young people and older adults. One of the strongestpredictors of success for at-risk youth is having a positive relationship with an older adult outside their immediate family. Creating opportunities for different generations to connect supports healthier outcomes for all.The idea of segregating generations is a weird Americanism that you don't see elsewhere. Countries like Singapore are getting rid of senior centers and replacing them with centers for all ages.

Send a textGUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, president, Liberty Sentinel MediaFor a man who was a convicted sex offender and shady financier, Jeffrey Epstein sure had tight connections with many of the world's rich, famous, and powerful, like former president Bill Clinton, billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and the King of England's brother, Prince Andrew, to name just a few.Jeffrey Epstein is most known for owning Little Saint James, a small private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands directly to the east of Puerto Rico, to which he would fly in rich and powerful men to engage in sexual immorality with underage women. Now through the recent release of the immense Epstein files, the world is finding out that the iniquity taking place there and other places owned by Epstein was unspeakably depraved.But there's far more to this sordid affair than egregious sexual sin that pulls back the curtain on the world's elite and their mission for mankind.Columnist Andrew Muller writes, “The files confirm that Jeffrey Epstein was far more than a playboy blackmailer. He did traffic underage children; he lured politicians, businessmen, and academics to his island to commit debauchery; he did possess leverage on elites. But he was also at the heart of the Insider's operation in a big way, serving as an advisor, confidant, networker, and consultant for outfits that exist to destroy Americanism and usher in a global gulag.”Did you know that Epstein was on the globalist Trilateral Commission, closely associated with the Rothschild banking family, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and some of the top institutions of higher education, and was on the front lines of transhumanism, genetic engineering, and eugenics? In short, Epstein was connected to the Deep State cabal that seeks to rule and enslave the world in rebellion against God.One might think that with Jeffrey Epstein's death in a New York jail cell in 2019 that his dastardly life and legacy would fade from memory. But the opposite is happening— calls for transparency and justice are growing.Alex Newman, author and award-winning international journalist and founder of Liberty Sentinel Media, joins us to explain why the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is about far more than salacious secrets on a Caribbean island and what Christians need to know.---------------------PROGRAM NOTES:Alex is president of Liberty Sentinel Media and host of the podcast Conversations That MatterAlex is a foreign correspondent and senior editor for The New American

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the media report on every instance when ICE detains someone who, it later turns out, should not have been detained.  There will always be some level of misidentification when dealing with such large numbers of people and chaotic situations.  There were no endless news reports on what has happened to people when the border was wide open, and the brutality and inhumanity resulting from that policy. The murdered, raped, and otherwise brutalized American citizens are mostly ignored. The media are so completely in the tank for the Democrats and the left, they're open and blatant about it and don't give a damn. Also, Mark announces that he's launching his new video podcast (Vidcast) called Liberty's Voice with Mark Levin next Tuesday. The broader podcasting industry is largely a cesspool filled with un-Americanism, Marxism, Islamism, wokeism, fascism, racism, anti-Jewish and anti-Christian sentiment. It's time to confront these issues on a sustained basis by promoting Americanism, Judeo-Christian values, individual liberty, American sovereignty, and constitutionalism. Later, the United States must firmly reject Sharia as a totalitarian system fundamentally incompatible with constitutional freedoms and the U.S. Constitution. Sharia is an all-encompassing, liberty-crushing framework that regulates every aspect of life, defines true freedom as perfect submission to Allah and religious law, and mandates open-ended jihad to impose a global Islamic order.  There's a ruling class of elitists—including academics, lawyers, judges, reporters, and media figures—who wield influence over public opinion, policies, and laws but are failing society, particularly through biased or dishonest media. Mainstream outlets like the New York Times ignore threats from Islamist ideology, such as Sharia law, while instead attacking patriots raising alarms.  Finally, Rep Byron Donalds calls in and explains that Iran has never been a friend to the United States. They've relied on weak leadership in Washington to advance its goals through stall tactics ,that is until President Trump came along. He also strongly supports the SAVE Act. Democratic opposition to it is illogical and power-driven. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Josh opens the show by diving into what everyone is talking about after the Super Bowl — and it’s not the game, but the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny. He explains why the performance struck many viewers as more divisive than unifying and examines how the NFL’s cultural messaging has shifted in recent years. Josh also breaks down why some conservatives have taken issue with the halftime choice and argues that many critics are missing the larger point behind the backlash. He then turns to the growing controversy surrounding comments from several U.S. Olympians regarding ICE agents, and what their remarks reveal about the broader cultural climate. Josh also discusses last week’s moment involving the New York City mayor quoting the Quran, tying it into what he sees as a larger cultural and political shift impacting the country. To close the show, Josh looks at rising tensions with Iran and previews the upcoming meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump, explaining why the conversation could carry major implications for the region and beyond.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 3, 2026 is: hornswoggle • HORN-swah-gul • verb To hornswoggle someone is to trick or deceive them. // I think we were hornswoggled by that magician. See the entry > Examples: "Netflix users have been warned to look out for an insidious, AI-powered email scam that looks nearly indistinguishable from the real deal. ... If you have been already hornswoggled by such a scheme, Netflix advises changing your password and reaching out to your bank." — Ben Cost, The New York Post, 3 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Hornswoggle is a slang word of some considerable mystery, at least where its etymology is concerned. The word appears to have originated in the southern United States in the early 19th century. The earliest known written record comes from an 1829 issue of The Virginia Literary Magazine in its glossary of Americanisms. The magazine states that hornswoggle comes from Kentucky, and that its oddness matches nicely with other 19th-century Americanisms, such as sockdolager, absquatulate, callithump, slumgullion, and skedaddle. While the exact point at which hornswoggle entered our language, and the way in which it was formed, may remain unknown, it is a charming addition to our language, joining bamboozle and honeyfuggle as colorful ways to say "to deceive."

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, immigration proceedings are civil in nature, not criminal, and illegal aliens only have limited due process protections as established by congressional statutes and Supreme Court rulings. U.S. immigration laws explicitly restrict illegal aliens from raising certain arguments in federal courts, forbid judicial review of designated executive actions and confine jurisdiction over specific claims to particular federal courts. When federal courts exercise authority over claims that are barred, unreviewable, or jurisdictionally restricted under these statutes, they contravene federal law. In such instances, the Supreme Court should intervene as needed to reaffirm these boundaries. Also, Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism as it seeks to conquer and destroy the West, particularly the United States. The Democrat Party defends this ideology by opposing deportations and removals, allowing this cancer to spread.  Instead of live and let live, Islamism demands conformity or death. If Democrats win the midterms, they will cripple President Trump's efforts to protect the nation, as they prioritize party power over the Constitution, welcoming Marxists and Islamists alike because they hate the country but love their authority. Later, the lies about ICE agents quickly get headlines from the media and when they try to set the record straight it goes to the back page. The newest one is that ICE detained a 5-year-old boy, which is a lie.  ICE agents are patriotic, humane Americans who target serious criminals like killers and child predators, and Democrats seek to defund them. The Democrat Party hates hardworking, law-abiding American citizens. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, ICE is the frontline protector against anarchy and civil society's destruction. The Democratic Party hates and seeks to destroy America by altering demographics through massive illegal immigration, including tens of millions of aliens and betting the Supreme Court won't properly rule on birthright citizenship. Democrats view immigration as a revolution, importing ideologies incompatible with Americanism, the Constitution, and rule of law, refusing assimilation in favor of conquest. Sanctuary cities and states shield these revolutionaries, creating segregated enclaves akin to a new form of segregation pushed by Democrats frustrated that the current citizenry won't align with their agenda, ultimately threatening all Americans. Also, Iran is one, big concentration camp. The Iranian regime is not hanging people because they are shooting them. Summary executions are, in fact, going on right now.  They are wiping out a generation of young people because they dared to want what young people in our country want -- freedom.  The lights are out and communications still cut off for a reason.  So, the rest of us cannot witness the genocide and atrocities that are taking place.  Hence, the Western media are losing interest and focus, as are a growing number of politicians.  But enough information is leaking out proving that the Iranian regime is an ongoing killing machine and the country is a killing field. Later, Mark Meckler from Convention of States, calls in and confirms that Kansas is on the precipice of becoming the 20th state to pass it. They need 34 states total, leaving 14 more. He also discusses the antisemitism from former friends like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Michael Reagan, the eldest adopted son of President Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, passed away at age 80 in Los Angeles. He was a man of deep faith who overcame early issues to become an engaging and supportive figure, strongly defending his father, Ronald Reagan, and backing President Trump. He wasn't just the son of a president; he was a strong voice for conservative principles and a defender of the values that made this country great. Also, the military's operation that swiftly removed Nicholas Maduro from Caracas, without injuring any American soldiers, was spectacular. Democrats previously called for Maduro's removal but now criticize the action, raising questions of impeachment of President Trump and war crimes. There's a lack of national unity. In the past both parties would celebrate such an event and praise the president and military, but now Democrats oppose it while their militia protests in U.S. cities. The country is in deep trouble regardless of the president, as constitutional protections for free speech and association are exploited by these groups, now joined by a recurring Hitlerian wing of neo-fascists who celebrate Hitler and Stalin, obsessively trash Jews, evangelical Christians supporting Israel, and the U.S. itself, while promoting Islamism and Sharia law. Later, property rights are fundamental human rights, earned through intellectual and physical labor, reflecting one's limited time on earth to accumulate wealth for family. Slogans like Zohran Mamdani's "warmth of the community" mask an iron fist of centralized government that erodes individual rights and liberties, rejecting Enlightenment and Judeo-Christian values in favor of Islamism and Marxism, which are incompatible with America's founding. The collective dehumanizes individuals and diminishes their creations. Afterward, these ideologies, whether Islamist or Marxist are incompatible with Americanism, posing a survival threat rather than an affordability issue. Marxism has failed everywhere, yet it's not taught in schools, media, or by podcasters. Our generation—parents and grandparents—must reclaim the public square to shield children from brainwashing by these diabolical saboteurs, including the Democrat Party, historically hostile to American beliefs.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on New Years Day.  President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he's delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence's references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors.  Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There's an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement.  In addition, U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota has announced new indictments in the Somali community revealing industrial-scale fraud in the state's Medicaid programs, with half or more of the roughly $18 billion paid out since 2018 potentially fraudulent across at least 14 high-risk services. The fraud outpaces other states, risking essential services and ripping off taxpayers. Why isn't there any outrage from Democrats like Rep Ilhan Omar? Also, Inflation is decreasing significantly, and the U.S. economy is poised for improvement despite possible short-term dips, ultimately leading to growth. President Trump has implemented extensive pro-growth measures across sectors such as natural resources, food, commercial fisheries, and farming, including removing Biden-era regulations, and enacting massive tax and regulatory cuts reminiscent of Reagan's. Finally, we have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.  These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Christmas Day! There was a spectacle in Qatar where wealthy ruling-class elites from U.S. government, politics, business, and media, along with foreign leaders for diplomatic cover, gathered to align with a regime that funds terrorism and seeks to destroy the United States from within, the West, and Israel. This highlights the success of a new imperial ruling class across both parties, businesses, unions, media, and financiers, who celebrate monarchy, fascism, and Marxist-Islamists while pursuing power, wealth, and glory. They exploit podcasting and podcasters who claim America First while attacking traditional Americanism, Judeo-Christian values, capitalism, the military, and allies, instead demanding ties with enemies like Qatar.  These grifters like Tucker Carlson smear true conservatives, centralize power and wealth in a bizarre feudal-Marxist form, ignore Qatar's role in 9/11 and university corruption, and target vulnerable young people with isolationism toward allies and globalism toward foes. These grifters will cause Republicans to suffer massive losses in midterm elections, even amid a strong economy, by alienating red-blooded Americans—such as veterans, cops, firefighters, electricians, and plumbers—who recognize these figures getting rich in places like Qatar while spreading enemy propaganda against the country.   Later, Gov Josh Shapiro associates radical Muslim elements, including imams in Philadelphia, and providing $5 million to their academy, while hypocritically downplaying his Jewish heritage to non-Jews and emphasizing it to Jews, which is diabolical politics.  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born intellectual, wrote an eye-opening article on Somali culture, which Shapiro ignores while funding radical Islamists. Immigrants must be vetted for assimilation potential. Shapiro and Cox are enabling cultural erosion through political correctness. The Islamist belief system is incompatible with Americanism. Also, it's important to educate the young people about America's history. They are brainwashed by misinformation and by an agenda they don't understand themselves, only because they were taught to do it. We need to educate our future generations, teaching them about people the unknown people who founded our country, such as Roger Sherman, Gunning Bedford Jr and Daniel of St Thomas Jenifer.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he's delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Also, Ukraine drones blew up a Russian oil tanker. For all the talk of Ukraine losing this war, they are putting up a fight. Ukraine is on the offense!  Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence's references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors.  Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There's an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, people often question why does the issue of radical Islamists remain a topic of discussion? The reason is that Jews are being slaughtered, Christians are being killed or shunned, yet there is a noticeable lack of coverage on these atrocities. Marxism, Islamism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism are a cancer that will destroy the West, it will destroy us - history proves it. We have to defend our civilization against this barbarian movement of 7th century Islamists that are largely based in Middle East. The lies that are being told about American history is all intentional. It's the Marxist, Islamist fusion in our culture fused with the incoming Islamist culture who all reject our founding. President Trump has never flinched in his support for the state of Israel, and he's very concerned about the antisemitism taking place in the U.S. and around the world. But there are some Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes types who say they're done with Trump because he's Israel first. These people are trying to destroy MAGA, the Republican party and the Trump presidency. We won't let that happen. We have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, people often question why does the issue of radical Islamists remain a topic of discussion? The reason is that Jews are being slaughtered, Christians are being killed or shunned, yet there is a noticeable lack of coverage on these atrocities.  Marxism, Islamism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism are a cancer that will destroy the West, it will destroy us - history proves it. We have to defend our civilization against this barbarian movement of 7th century Islamists that are largely based in Middle East. The lies that are being told about American history is all intentional. It's the Marxist, Islamist fusion in our culture fused with the incoming Islamist culture who all reject our founding. Also, people like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon promote neo-fascist views that overlap with enemy propaganda, such as praising Qatari culture over American or Israeli and portraying Vladimir Putin and Hitler as misunderstood. Americans need to stop funding or watching this content and to speak out against these grifters who sell out the country, provide aid and comfort to enemies by regurgitating their propaganda, and enable enemy interviews. Later, the PM of Australia and his government are hardcore liberals. ​They've ​had ​their ​borders ​wide ​open, ​they've ​had ​massive ​immigration, ​and there ​have ​been ​​massive ​acts ​of ​anti ​Semitism. Now, there has been the killing of Jews celebrating Hanukkah.  Afterward, there's a problem of the dumbing down of communication in the United States, particularly through the hijacking of podcast platforms by evil, dumb, or fraudulent individuals promoting nitwittery, lies, fear-mongering, and outrageous content for attention. There needs to be more people of goodwill with strong views to produce intelligent, substantive podcasts that are serious yet fun and scholarly yet entertaining. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, there was a spectacle in Qatar where wealthy ruling-class elites from U.S. government, politics, business, and media, along with foreign leaders for diplomatic cover, gathered to align with a regime that funds terrorism and seeks to destroy the United States from within, the West, and Israel. This highlights the success of a new imperial ruling class across both parties, businesses, unions, media, and financiers, who celebrate monarchy, fascism, and Marxist-Islamists while pursuing power, wealth, and glory. They exploit podcasting and podcasters who claim America First while attacking traditional Americanism, Judeo-Christian values, capitalism, the military, and allies, instead demanding ties with enemies like Qatar.

Gov Josh Shapiro associates radical Muslim elements, including imams in Philadelphia, and providing $5 million to their academy, while hypocritically downplaying his Jewish heritage to non-Jews and emphasizing it to Jews, which is diabolical politics. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born intellectual, wrote an eye-opening article on Somali culture, which Shapiro ignores while funding radical Islamists. The left and the neo fascists on the right trashing Erika Kirk are evil. Yet, Tucker Carlson comes out with a video that was unbelievably loathsome. He spews the Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories by ‘just asking questions.' Why gaslight the conspiracy theories? Leave Erika Kirk alone and let her grieve in peace. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Gov Josh Shapiro associates radical Muslim elements, including imams in Philadelphia, and providing $5 million to their academy, while hypocritically downplaying his Jewish heritage to non-Jews and emphasizing it to Jews, which is diabolical politics.  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born intellectual, wrote an eye-opening article on Somali culture, which Shapiro ignores while funding radical Islamists. Immigrants must be vetted for assimilation potential. Governors Josh Shapiro and Spencer Cox are enabling cultural erosion through political correctness. The Islamist belief system is incompatible with Americanism. Afterward, it's important to educate the young people about America's history. They are brainwashed by misinformation and by an agenda they don't understand themselves, only because they were taught to do it. We need to educate our future generations, teaching them about people the unknown people who founded our country, such as Roger Sherman, Gunning Bedford Jr and Daniel of St Thomas Jenifer. Later, Rep Jim Jordan calls in to discuss his full support for the Antisemitism Awareness Act. There's a small but potentially growing anti-Israel stance among conservatives and it's worrisome. He also announces that Special Counsel Jack Smith will testify in a closed-door deposition under oath next Wednesday. Finally, North Carolina Senate candidate Michael Whatley calls in to discuss his race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Also, Democrats and the media ignore serious border issues under the Biden administration, such as tens of thousands of women sold into sex slavery and over thousands of missing unaccompanied minors, while dramatizing the Venezuela drug boat strikes. These strikes were lawful; the military and its commander did nothing wrong. Finally, Roger Zakheim, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute calls in to discuss the 2025 Reagan National Defense Survey. Zakheim explains that Americans don't believe in isolationism. The world is more likely to achieve peace when the U.S. has the strongest military. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
