On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, lower federal courts are ignoring Supreme Court rulings, with judges defying the Constitution and law on immigration. In LA, a judge rules that ICE roundups are racist, alleging indiscriminate arrests of brown-skinned people at Home Depots, car washes, farms, etc., due to ethnicity and a 3,000-daily quota. In addition, in New Hampshire, a judge upholds birthright citizenship via national injunction, citing long-standing practice over constitutional analysis. The media ignore this, while actions persist. The judges have changed, not the Constitution. Also, President Trump has made enormous progress domestically and internationally, but institutions are being turned against Americans. Democrats will inevitably win elections and use the permanent government, courts, and administrative state to try to permanently embed their ideology, making it irreversible. Zohran Mamdani's Stalinist Islamist fusion of ideologies has overtaken parts of Europe and is now infiltrating the U.S., funded by entities like Qatar, Hamas, Iran, and Communist China. Later, socialism is an economic ideology from Marxism, which is a broader life ideology encompassing socialism but extending to cultural, social, and political transformation. The modern activists and professors are unoriginal Karl Marx wannabes who regurgitate ideas from Marx, Hegel, and Rousseau. Thery reject individual liberty and free will as divisive and weak, favoring instead class unity and collective power. There is a comprehensive war on civil society, culture, and America's foundations—targeting family, economy, and liberty—rooted in deadly, anti-human Marxist principles that promote genocide and centralized power.  Afterward, there is a vile and destructive element within the Republican Party. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene is undermining Trump and introducing amendments removing $500 million in military aid to Israel from the National Defense Authorization Act.  Finally, Mahmoud Khalil filed a $20 million claim against the Trump administration. Only in America does a pro Hamas protestor like this turnaround and bring a lawsuit when he should never have been here in the first place. David Schoen calls in to explain that Khalil is 100% deportable under U.S. Code sections 1227 and 1182 for endorsing and supporting Hamas. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this enlightening episode of Liberty and Learning, Mark Levin engages in a profound discussion with Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the Declaration of Independence and its lasting impact on American society. As the nation recently celebrated Independence Day, the conversation serves as a timely reminder of the principles that founded the United States.The episode begins with a reflection on the brilliance of the Declaration, described by Dr. Arnn as a "philosophic, political, theological masterpiece." He highlights the intellectual influences that shaped Thomas Jefferson's writing, noting that Jefferson drew from the ideas of great thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and John Locke. This rich philosophical background laid the groundwork for a document that would not only declare independence but also articulate the values of liberty and equality that define America.One of the key themes discussed is the evolution of religious freedom in America. Dr. Arnn explains how early settlers sought religious conformity, yet over time, they recognized the necessity of allowing diverse beliefs to flourish. This journey towards understanding the importance of religious freedom is a testament to the evolving nature of American society.As the conversation shifts to the Civil War, Levin and Arnn examine Abraham Lincoln's reliance on the Declaration of Independence to frame the moral argument against slavery. Lincoln's ability to connect the principles of the Declaration to the struggle for freedom and equality underscores the document's enduring relevance. Dr. Arnn emphasizes that Lincoln viewed the Declaration as the foundation of American identity, a perspective that resonates deeply in contemporary discussions about liberty and justice.The episode also addresses the challenges posed by modern progressivism. Levin and Arnn critique how some contemporary interpretations of the Declaration seek to distort its original meaning, arguing for a return to the foundational principles that have guided the nation. They discuss the dangers of viewing the Declaration as merely a historical artifact rather than a living document that continues to inspire and challenge Americans today.Listeners will come away from this episode with a deeper appreciation for the Declaration of Independence, not just as a historical document, but as a vital part of the American ethos. The insights shared by Levin and Arnn encourage us to reflect on our nation's founding principles and consider how they apply to the challenges we face in the present day.

After more than a decade of advocacy, Texas has officially passed sweeping education savings account (ESA) legislation, unlocking new options for thousands of families.

Texas is now leading the way—and this episode explains why it matters for the entire country.

We see the battle between good and evil throughout the Bible and in the world around us. But do angels and demons influence our lives today and if they do, how do they interact with us?Joining Frank on the program this week is Pastor Allen Jackson from World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, TN. Under his humble yet confident leadership, the church has grown from fewer than 30 people to over 15,000 since 1989. His new book, 'Angels, Demons & You: Unseen Spiritual Influences in Our Lives', provides a biblical perspective on the reality of spiritual forces and how they impact our daily lives. Together, Frank and Allen answer questions like:What happened to Allen's mom that led to his whole family being born again?How did World Outreach Church go from a small Bible study in Allen's parents' home to a megachurch?Is leadership just a secular word?Is Islam compatible with the U.S. Constitution?Why does our American culture seem to dismiss the existence of angels and demons?What was it like studying at a secular school like Vanderbilt University?What roles did angels have in the Bible and what is their role today?Should pastors be "political"?Is there a way to detect the presence of angels and demons acting in our lives?You'll also learn the importance of making disciples instead of people who just sit in pews, and why the greatest inheritance we can leave our family isn't fortune or fame--but living a life that honors God. From his humble beginnings as the son of an equine veterinarian, to a ministry that now reaches and encourages 3,000,000+ people per week around the globe, you'll see why Allen says, "The One we serve is great and we serve at His pleasure!"Resources mentioned during the episode:World Outreach Church - https://wochurch.org/Allen Jack Ministries - https://allenjackson.com/Allen's podcast - https://cultureandchristianity.org/podcast/Angels, Demons, and You - https://bit.ly/3TYYC1SGod Bless America Again - https://bit.ly/3IcTlRL

In 1948, a plane crashed near Fresno. On that flight there were 28 Mexican citizens who were being deported from the United States. Everyone on board died.

Today, we're bringing back the story of the man who made it his life mission to identify the 28 unnamed workers and connect with their families.

As human beings, we are often very protective of our own sense of personal justice – and injustice.   When I was a child, I had a teacher who – to me – seemed very unfair. If one of the kids in the class did something like write a bad word on the chalkboard, she would ask the entire class who did it. She really did her best to find the culprit, and carry out punishment.   But sometimes she just couldn't figure it out. No one would admit it, and there wasn't enough evidence to pin it on any specific student.   So her solution was – the whole class loses recess for the whole day. Definitely not fair! It always bugged me when that happened – I was being punished even though I hadn't done anything wrong.   My guest today, Scott, was also a victim of injustice, but on a much larger scale. He was charged with a crime that he didn't commit, and was held in a foreign jail for far too long.

Has the DOJ actually failed the United States? They fumbled the Epstein case, lied to the American people, and now are closing investigations into some of the most important cases, like Pfizer. It's no wonder rumors are swirling that Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi are experiencing a fallout, with Dan debating resignation. How can our government get anything done when it's not united? Speaking of turmoil, California is once again burning down, figuratively, this time because ICE has taken to raiding another pot farm, which has led to the discovery of child labor. California officials say it's fine, but Tom Homan and everyone else know otherwise. Later, we hit on James Comey and John Brennan being investigated, tensions between the United States and Russia, and Brigitte Macron's defamation lawsuit being overturned. All this and more on today's Untamed!  

For this "Summer Friday" we've put together some of our favorite conversations this year:Natalie Wynn, creator of the YouTube channel Contrapoints, discusses her work including her latest video titled "CONSPIRACY" in which she delves into the history of conspiracies in American politics, the allure of conspiratorial thinking, and how this way of thought negatively impacts democracy.James Sanders, architect, author, filmmaker, and co-writer with Ric Burns of the PBS series: New York: A Documentary Film and its companion volume, New York: An Illustrated History (Knopf, 2021) and the author of Celluloid Skyline: New York and the Movies (Knopf, 2001), talks about the New York seen in films since the beginning of movie-making, as part of our centennial series.Each year the news division hosts the WNYC Health Convening with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation as an opportunity for health care experts and practitioners to inform WNYC's health reporting. This year, as part of our centennial series "100 Years of 100 Things," Paul Goldberg, editor and publisher of The Cancer Letter, co-editor of The Cancer History Project, and author of The Dissident (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2023), discusses the century of cancer treatment advancements and how the U.S. government played a major part in funding the science for treatment, early detection and prevention.The WNYC Health Convening with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation continues with a look at the current state of cancer research in the United States.Sudip Parikh, Ph.D., chief executive officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and executive publisher of the Science family of journals;Otis Brawley, professor of oncology at The Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor at Johns Hopkin and co-editor of The Cancer History Project; andJulie Rovner, chief Washington correspondent at KFF Health News and host of the What the Health? podcast; discuss what the impacts of the Trump administration's funding cuts to the National Health Institute have meant to clinical trials—and what a future without government funding to find a cure might look like should the science continue to be underfunded. These interviews were lightly edited for time and clarity and the original web versions are available here:Contrapoints' Natalie Wynn Deep Dives into the Philosophy of Conspiracies (May 29, 2025)100 Years of 100 Things: New York Films (May 19, 2025)100 Years of 100 Things: Cancer Research (Jun 3, 2025)A Roundtable on the Current State of U.S. Cancer Research (Jun 3, 2025)

Victor Davis Hanson: John Brennan Has Himself to Blame for FBI Investigation The FBI announced they are launching a criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan for “potential wrongdoing related to the Trump-Russia probe," according to Fox News Digital.  John Brennan, one of the main architects behind the 2016 Russian Collusion Hoax, and a contributor to the 2020 Hunter Biden “Laptop From Hell” Cover-up, has a storied history of being at the heart of the most significant scandals in American history of the last 50 years. And now it's rightfully starting to catch up with him, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” 00:00 Introduction: Investigating Comey and Brennan 01:25 John Brennan's Controversial Career 02:46 The Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal 03:40 Trump vs. Biden: The Debate and Aftermath 04:34 Brennan's Accusations Against Trump 05:03 Impact on U.S.-Russia Relations 07:07 Conclusion: Brennan's Legacy and Accountability 07:33 Closing Remarks and Call to Action 

For decades, we've been reporting on the ways the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) crushes the religious freedom of its citizens. But in recent years, the CCP has been escalating its tactics against a religious group here—on American soil.In this episode, I sit down with religious freedom lawyers Justin Butterfield and Lea Patterson to understand what's going on and discuss their response to a recent lawsuit against Shen Yun, the performing arts company founded by Falun Gong practitioners in New York. The case touches on vital questions about what it means to be able to practice your faith—and guide the education of your children in America.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Is it possible that a multi-tentacled “creature” has crawled and slithered its way into the halls of power and is moving and influencing lawmakers and policy in our federal government? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week our guest said that not only is it possible, but that it has been going on for years. He pulled back the multi-layered curtain of government bureaucracy to reveal the names of the people and organizations who, through money or other means continue to impact the attitudes and actions of those charged with representing the American people’s best interests and the dangers they pose to life, liberty and the American family. Let’s face it, if there is one area of life where it is easy to get confused and entangled in ideas and behaviors that are not right for us, it is sex and sexuality. We have been living in a sexually saturated culture for a long time now and without clear guidance believers like anybody else, can make wrong turns that damage our lives and lead us away from the good plans of God for this part of our human experience. Our guest, a highly respected expert in these matters drew us back to God’s word to get us back on the right path. She explained why there is a difference between sex and sexuality, how and why our identity is tied to our sexuality and what it means to live a sexually surrendered life. From time immemorial mankind has loved the good guy VS bad guy story. From twirling mustachioed villains, to black and white hats in the old west, to today’s modern cinematic superpowered heroes and their equally powered enemies, we love a great good guy VS bad guy tale. But why? Our guest explained how our desire to see heroes who fight for the greater good and sacrifice themselves for the betterment of others have deeper roots that most of us understand and that once we do these stories can create bridges of conversation to share the love of Jesus, the ultimate hero who came and sacrificed Himself for others, with those who do not yet know Him. There are some who believe that God has changed His plans for the Jewish people over time and that He has put His promises for them into the church? This is no slight matter! So, we turned to an expert on Jewish history and God’s word to deconstruct this viewpoint and then hold the mirror of God’s word up to it to see if it has any merit. His clear and scripturally grounded explanation helped clear up the cobwebs that many have been looking through regarding this very important issue. The Middle East continues to be unstable, faith and family continue to get attacked from all sides, but the word of God continues to stand tall and firm in truth and power providing guidance and clarity. Janet and Craig once again get beyond the headlines and continue teaching us how to discern truth from confusion in the marketplace of ideas.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Crosspolitic, Gabe Knox and Toby expose the three major sins plaguing American churches that are directly responsible for our cultural collapse: the failure of men to lead, rampant sexual compromise, and the infiltration of Marxist race ideology. They reveal how churches are spending thousands of dollars on roller coaster productions and Mario Brothers sermon series while neglecting biblical worship, creating a generation of weak, entertainment-addicted Christians who can't engage the culture. From pastors who won't bark like the "dumb dogs" Isaiah warned about, to churches that have turned worship into a circus, this episode connects the dots between corrupted church worship and America's moral decay Fight Laugh Feast 2025 Conference (October 16-18, Nashville) - Register HERE: https://flfnetwork.com

01:00:46 – 01:06:04Judge Orders Tesla to Refund FSD Purchase Over False ClaimsA judge rules in favor of a Tesla owner who sued over the car's “full self-driving” package, citing deceptive advertising and software limitations. Despite promises spanning over a decade, Tesla's FSD still requires constant driver supervision and fails to meet autonomous standards. 01:14:46 – 01:20:14AI Avatar Replaces YouTuber, Automates Entire Entertainment ChannelA gaming YouTuber replaces himself with an AI avatar named "Blue," automating voiceovers, thumbnails, and content production. Critics argue this marks a major shift in digital labor, escapism, and dehumanized entertainment, with millions of viewers unaware or indifferent. 01:31:22 – 01:34:27Hollywood's Weaponization of the ‘Sovereign Citizen' LabelA film portraying right-wing “sovereign citizens” as violent radicals is critiqued as predictable propaganda. Commentary argues that the label is designed to trigger public fear and enable biased prosecution of anti-establishment figures. 01:50:45 – 02:09:01Dershowitz Claims Epstein List Suppressed, Refuses to Name NamesAlan Dershowitz says he knows the names being suppressed in the Epstein case but won't disclose due to legal constraints. Commentary ridicules this stance, pointing out Dershowitz's age and past defenses of controversial views, and highlights ongoing frustration with elite protection and failure to prosecute known abusers. 02:26:21 – 02:32:57Kirk Cameron Praises Trump and Rogan as Moral Models, Critic Receives BacklashKirk Cameron compares Trump and Rogan to biblical figures, claiming they show courage pastors should emulate. The segment questions this logic, highlighting Trump's refusal to release Epstein files and Rogan's focus on drugs and sensationalism as poor moral examples. 03:01:58 – 03:14:21Death of the Dollar and Global Shift to Gold and BRICSThe dollar's decline is attributed to unsustainable U.S. debt, foreign policy overreach, and global de-dollarization. Commentary argues BRICS nations are rejecting U.S. hegemony, central banks are hoarding gold, and Trump will push for lower interest rates that will deepen dollar depreciation. 03:22:00 – 03:25:36Third Party Opportunity Amid MAGA Collapse and Media DistrustA new third party is framed as more viable than ever due to dissatisfaction with Democrats, betrayal by Trump, and shifts in campaign media strategy. Social media—not TV ads—is credited with recent outsider electoral success, especially among youth. 03:31:10 – 03:34:11Digital Dollar and Historical Gold Repricing as Debt ErasureA future U.S. digital currency is predicted to replace cash and enable mass surveillance. Commentary warns of a debt-reset scheme resembling Roosevelt's 1934 gold repricing, with Trump floated as a possible figurehead to justify the change. 03:45:37 – 03:47:30U.S. Backed Coup in Iran and Historical Propaganda ExposedThe 1953 coup against Mosaddegh is highlighted as a turning point in U.S.-Iran relations. The segment criticizes American foreign policy and the role of the media and intelligence agencies in demonizing Iran to justify long-term intervention.

October 7th exposed to everyone what many in and around the academy have known for years: American universities—not all, but many—are failing catastrophically to educate the next generation about the history, cultures, and politics of the Middle East. Instead of producing students versed in the region's complexities, these institutions have become factories for ideological activism. And nowhere is this truer than in the case of Israel and its history: Zionism in the modern university classroom is rarely examined as a movement of national liberation but instead as a caricature of colonialism, racism, repression, and occupation. And outside of the classroom, we've seen the most prestigious campuses in the United States transform into nodes of anti-Israel activism and Jew hatred. These are immense and long-standing problems. But instead of just diagnosing their sources and discussing their perils, today we're going to talk to someone who's actually done something about it. Robert Satloff saw this crisis clearly. Having published back in 2001 the eminent historian Martin Kramer's short volume on the corruption of Middle East Studies, Ivory Towers on Sand, Satloff has spent decades watching the field drift toward anti-Israel political advocacy. As the executive director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, he decided to stop complaining and found his own professional master's program. Working with Pepperdine University, the Washington Institute has established a completely new graduate program designed to train policy professionals with rigorous scholarship and historical accuracy, without anti-Israel bias. The program offers full scholarships, accepts no foreign funding, is fully accredited, and will convene its inaugural cohort in Washington, DC this fall.

Plus, an American has made it to a Wimbledon final. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
