Podcasts about Islamism

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the American Marxism movement hates American institutions and is out to destroy America. And they have an ally: Islamism. Both ideas have been forced upon us by the Democratic Party. They seek to undermine our Constitution, our Judeo-Christian belief system, the nuclear family, our schools and universities. Despite their outward ideological differences, they share one goal: destroy the West. How? With immigration and open borders and using our constitutional protections against us. And there's a third problem: the Woke Reich neo-fascists, who are antisemitic and anti-Christian. The result is more young people who have been brainwashed to hate this country. We need to realize that we are under attack. Later, a recent 5-4 Supreme Court ruling that upheld states' post-election day ballot counting for federal offices undermines the Constitution.  This weakens fraud detection, as the president is right that mail-in voting should be limited to those who are disabled, sick, or out of town—not universal. In states like California, ballots are sent to outdated addresses, and since such states are Democratic strongholds, pressure is ineffective, yet these practices improperly affect federal elections. Also, experience shows the Iranian regime lies, cheats, adheres to no agreements, and seeks to destroy all individuals, groups, or nations not complying with its 7th-century political-religious ideology through catastrophic worldwide war involving slaughter, torture, and rape until total submission. Unlike faiths that reformed, Islamists have not. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani is focused on de-populating NYC of as many Jews as possible and turning into a Dearborn, Michigan or Paterson, NJ. He's making it unsafe and unlivable for Jews in the City. Finally, Director of the Ronald Reagan Institute Roger Zakheim calls in to discuss an Axios article that misleadingly headlined Republicans souring on Israel based on the Institute's survey. Zakheim clarified that Axios engaged in clickbait, as the survey and its own report actually showed the opposite: 75% of Republicans overall, and 80% of MAGA Republicans, believe U.S. security and prosperity are tied to Israel's security.

Jonathan Sayeh and Bill Roggio investigate reports of damaged historic sites in Iran, suggesting they are Iranian information operations. Schanzer explains that many sites were actually torched by protesters rejecting Islamism. He also notes the morality police are doubling down on control following recent ceasefire stunts. 6

SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-29-2026.1950Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio discuss the fragile US-Iran ceasefire and a flawed memorandum concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Roggio argues the agreement effectively grants Iran control, while Haqqani notes GCC countries feel excluded and wary of de-escalation on Iranian terms. The US lacks a plan to force Iranian understanding of consequences. 1Hussain Haqqani and Bill Roggio examine regional dynamics, noting the Iranian system remains unchanged despite the Supreme Leader's death. Haqqani describes the US-Iran memorandum as a "damp squib" that ignores fundamental security issues. Roggio suggests Saudi Arabia feels "stuck" with the US but may reconsider its primary regional backing. 2Ernesto Araújo addresses the Venezuelan earthquake and the Maduro regime's inability to manage the crisis, calling leadership a "gangster gathering." He sees international aid as a chance for accountability and renewal. He also questions why the US hesitates to allow democratic leader María Machado to return home. 3Ernesto Araújo discusses recent democratic victories in Colombia and Peru, characterizing them as a rejection of organized crime and socialism. He criticizes media bias for framing these shifts as a "right-wing drift" while ignoring the deep-seated corruption of regional leaders like Lula da Silva. 4Jonathan Schanzer and Bill Roggio analyze Iran's perceived "escalation dominance" in the Strait of Hormuz after the US lifted its naval blockade. Schanzer argues Iran uses the waterway as leverage to derail nuclear talks. Roggio critiques the US admission that there is no military solution to the waterway. 5Jonathan Schanzer and Bill Roggio investigate reports of damaged historic sites in Iran, suggesting they are Iranian information operations. Schanzer explains that many sites were actually torched by protesters rejecting Islamism. He also notes the morality police are doubling down on control following recent ceasefire stunts. 6David Daoud explores the Israel-Lebanon security deal and the IDF's destruction of a major Hezbollah arsenal. Daoud explains the concept of "pilot zones" where the Lebanese Armed Forces must perform demonstrably before territorial expansion. He notes Hezbollah wants a pragmatic end to pain but rejects normalization. 7David Daoud and Bill Roggio analyze "pilot zones" as a mechanism to hold Lebanon's feet to the fire regarding Hezbollah's disarmament. Daoud warns that if the US prioritizes quiet with Iran, these zones could become pressure tactics against Israel rather than mechanisms for actual Lebanese performance. 8Richard Epstein critiques the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision allowing the President to fire independent commission heads. Epstein argues this undermines the separation of powers between prosecution and adjudication. He warns that "presidential accountability" is an illusion in such a unitary power structure. 9John Hardie and Bill Roggio report on Russian fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on refineries. Hardie notes this crisis breaks Putin's "social contract" of stability for passivity. Despite economic trouble, Putin maintains maximalist war demands due to inflated military reports from his general staff. 10Edmund Fitton-Brown critiques the UN's "toxic obsession" with Israel and its lack of evidence regarding genocide claims. Fitton-Brown highlights how China and Russia manipulate the UN system to avoid scrutiny. He notes Israel is uniquely targeted by permanent commissions while worse regimes go free. 11Edmund Fitton-Brown and Bill Roggio discuss the instability of the Iran MOU and the upcoming Doha talks. He contrasts this with a balanced Israel-Lebanon framework that aims to marginalize Hezbollah. However, the MOU's vague language allows Iran to claim legitimate control over the Strait of Hormuz. 12Henry Sokolski examines the stalemate over Iran's nuclear program following a previous B2 raid. Sokolski notes Iranrefuses IAEA inspections at damaged uranium enrichment sites. He warns of massive plutonium risks at the Bushehrplant and calls for public hearings on regional nuclear restraint. 13Ahmad Sharawi documents Hamas's presence in Turkey, where senior operatives enjoy sanctuary to plot attacks in the West Bank. Sharawi notes Turkey provides a permissive environment to weaken Israel's regional freedom. Hamas maintains leadership and financing networks despite being whittled down in Gaza. 14David Maxwell and Gordon Chang analyze North Korea's "salami slicing" strategy in the DMZ designed to normalize its activities. Maxwell warns Kim Jong-un seeks to divide the US-South Korea alliance. He urges a superior political warfare strategy to expose and strangulate North Korea's malign activities. 15Gordon Chang challenges China's manufacturing numbers as "science fiction" and the promotion of robotics to hide massive youth unemployment. Chang explains that Xi Jinping prioritizes manufacturing over consumption to keep the population dependent. He also warns of rising state-promoted xenophobia against foreigners. 16

Iran ceasefire violations, JD Vance on Bill Maher, the Venezuela earthquake, and Mike Johnson's DSA warning headline today's A.M. Update. The US strikes Iranian missile sites again after Iran fires on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, JD Vance tells Bill Maher Iran's nuclear program is functionally destroyed even without full inspections, and Aaron says nobody with a working brain is surprised Iran broke the truce. Venezuela's earthquake death toll climbs past 1,450 as rescue crews race against time, the Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to end temporary protected status for Haitian and Syrian nationals, and Ohio Governor Mike DeWine pushes back on CNN. Pete Buttigieg claims a politically motivated false CPS report targeted his family, and Aaron says the story doesn't add up either way. House Speaker Mike Johnson delivers a pointed warning about a wave of DSA-backed congressional candidates nationwide, reading directly from the Democratic Socialists of America's own platform, and Aaron lays out his theory that the fusion of Marxism and Islamism is functioning as a unifying anti-Christian ideology for the secular left. California State Senator Scott Wiener gets cursed out and driven off the stage at San Francisco's Trans March for not being radical enough, and Aaron uses the moment to revisit Wiener's legislative record, which he argues should disqualify him from being held up as any kind of moral or political role model. Aaron closes by calling out fringe online voices on the right who've descended into antisemitic conspiracy theory, saying that brand of "horseshoe theory" rot is squandering a real political opportunity.

In a shocking turn of events, the Democratic Party is being taken over by a radical new force: the Red Green Alliance. This fusion of socialism and Islamist ideology is spreading like wildfire, and it's not just a problem for Democrats - it's a threat to America as a whole. In this episode, the speaker delves into the world of third worldism, where the lines between good and evil are increasingly blurred. The Red Green Alliance is a movement that's gaining traction, with candidates like Dary Eliza Chevalier and Brad Lander winning key elections in New York City. But what does this mean for the future of America? The speaker explores the implications of this new ideology, which seeks to fundamentally transform the country and its values. From the abolition of the police and the border to the promotion of socialism and Islamist grievance politics, the Red Green Alliance is a force to be reckoned with. The speaker discusses the key players in this movement, including Dary Eliza Chevalier, a Dominican-Venezuelan woman who converted to Islam and has a PhD from Columbia University. She's a co-founder of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest movement, which seeks to undermine and eradicate America. The speaker also touches on the role of Islamism in this movement, and how it's being used to justify the abolition of individual rights and the promotion of grievance politics. As the Red Green Alliance continues to gain momentum, it's essential to understand the threat it poses to America's values and way of life. The speaker's analysis is a must-listen for anyone who wants to stay informed about the latest developments in this rapidly changing landscape. Join us as we explore the world of third worldism and the Red Green Alliance, and discover the truth behind this emerging threat to America.

Trump and Senate GOP, NATO's Mark Rutte, Zohran Mamdani's primary sweep, and Grand Theft Auto 6 headline today's A.M. Update. Outgoing Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy reportedly gets into a shouting match with Trump at a Senate GOP lunch just weeks after losing his primary by a historic margin, and Aaron says picking that fight on his way out the door makes no sense. Trump also announces he won't sign the bipartisan housing bill until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act, even though it already cleared Congress with supermajorities, and takes a swipe at NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte over gas prices not falling fast enough at the pump. All three of Zohran Mamdani's endorsed candidates sweep their New York primaries, including a Democratic Socialist who knocked off a five-term incumbent, and Aaron lays out his theory for why the combination of Islamism and Marxism is proving so potent with young, secular voters. Grand Theft Auto 6 opens pre-orders for its November launch, and Aaron does the math on its reported $2 billion budget, more than it cost to build the Burj Khalifa, and questions whether that much talent and money going into a video game says something about misplaced priorities. Aaron closes the week with the poll of the week results on who's actually following the World Cup.

Bridget sits down with Xi Van Fleet, author of Made in America: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Enabled Communist China and Created Our Greatest Threat. Xi is a survivor of China's Cultural Revolution and traces the eerie parallels between Mao's revolution and today's woke ideology. She draws on her own experience — growing up under the CCP, enduring re-education in the countryside, and eventually escaping to America — to argue that cultural Marxism is not a foreign threat but a homegrown one, and that American elites have been enabling the CCP's rise since the 1920s. They dig into the difference between economic communism and cultural Marxism, the red-green alliance between the Left and Islamism, how political correctness becomes speech control and eventually control of the mind, China's bot farms and information warfare operations, the social credit creep in the United States, why the enemy within is far more dangerous than the one overseas, why studying American history might be what saves us, and Xi's assertion that Communism is a virus that has killed hundreds of millions of people, it won't disappear, and it always needs to be fought against. Get Made In America here: https://amzn.to/4vGzbDg#CulturalRevolution #CulturalMarxism #walkinswelcome #BridgetPhetasyTopics covered: Xi Van Fleet, Made in America book, Cultural Revolution vs woke ideology, CCP history, America enabling communism, cultural Marxism vs economic communism, red-green alliance, surveillance state, social credit scores, information warfare, DEI, silent majority, Loudoun County school board

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Conservative MP and Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy for a conversation on the Henry Novak murder, two-tier justice, Islamism, and the growing crisis of confidence in Britain's institutions.We begin with the public reaction to the Henry Novak case and the riots that followed, examining claims of unequal treatment in policing, sentencing, and media coverage. Timothy argues that political correctness, multiculturalism, and identity-based policymaking have corrupted parts of the criminal justice system, undermining the principle of equality before the law.The conversation explores Islamism, integration, and the failure of successive governments to confront extremist networks. We discuss prison radicalisation, the influence of hardline mosques, the role of the Muslim Brotherhood, and whether Britain's political class has become too afraid to address difficult questions about culture, religion, and national identity.We also debate immigration, deportations, prison reform, free speech, and the future of the Conservative Party, with Timothy outlining his vision for restoring public trust, strengthening the rule of law, and defending Britain's way of life.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH THE EXTENDED CONVERSATION HERE: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction 02:00 Has The Justice System Been Corrupted?04:17 Is Two-Tier Policing Real?09:00 How Woke Ideology Entered British Institutions16:40 Can The Conservatives Be Trusted Again?19:29 Should Foreign Criminals Be Deported?22:47 Mass Immigration & Britain's Prison Crisis27:59 Should Britain Bring Back The Death Penalty?34:15 Islamism Inside British Prisons38:22 What Is Islamism?43:46 The Islam Debate Britain Refuses To Have49:10 Sadiq Khan, Trafalgar Square & Public Prayer58:07 Is Islam Compatible With Britain?1:04:51 Extremist Mosques & Police Failures1:08:30 How Political Correctness Corrupted Policing1:13:25 Final Thoughts

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 207 Radical ideologies have many things in common. Among them, it increasingly seems apparent, is a psychological structure that can only be described as psychopathological. In this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay explores the interesting idea that perhaps what these radical ideologies are all ultimately answering is a profound sense of humiliation (without humility). By surveying ideologies ranging from Russian weirdo Aleksandr Dugin's "geopolitics" and "neo-Eurasianism," to Nazism, to Fascism, to Islamism, to Communism, to Neo-Marxism, to Third Worldism, to Woke, both Left and Right, Lindsay makes a convincing case that these ideologies are pseudoscientific mythologies organized to provide therapy to the humiliated psyche, thus their destructiveness. Using the model, he also offers an answer and a bright ray of hope for a light to lead us out of this darkness. Join him for an eye-opening discussion.

In this episode, the speaker delves into the pressing issue of the Islamification of the Democrat Party and its alarming implications for the United States. With the rise of communist and Islamist ideologies within the party, the speaker warns that the country is facing a significant threat to its values and way of life. The conversation touches on the recent US military strikes on Iran, the Abraham Accords, and the importance of President Trump's efforts to pressure other nations in the Middle East to join the Accords. The speaker also discusses the Red Green Alliance, a growing alliance between communists and Islamists that seeks to undermine Western values and promote a shared ideology of oppression and resistance. This alliance is seen as a major concern, as it exploits the poor and marginalized to mobilize armed struggle and perpetuate violence.

George Khalaf, Republican candidate for the Arizona House of Representatives from Legislative District 3, on the recent primaries and elections, including the surprising win of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas U.S. Senate Republican Primary Runoff Election and the rise of James Talarico, the Democratic nominee in the race, who's making waves with his progressive views. Seth and George also discuss the assault on Judeo-Christian values within the Democratic Party, highlighting the concerning trend of candidates embracing Marxism, Islamism, and anti-American principles. The conversation also touches on the importance of parental choice in education, with George sharing his experiences as a advocate for the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program in Arizona. He explains how the program allows parents to choose the best education for their children, and how the current efforts to limit the program are a threat to this fundamental right.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Patrick answers listener questions about Catholic weddings, infant baptism, and the challenge of living as a Christian in a secular, religiously diverse America. He moves from discussions of Church history and the Filioque controversy to callers’ deep frustrations over culture and faith, offering insight, honesty, and moments of gentle wit. Voices overlap and topics swing from heated debates on Islam to heartfelt spiritual encouragement, capturing the unpredictable reality of Catholic life today.

In my recent conversation with Sittig, we explored her co-authored book Intellectual Self-Destruction: How the West Gambles Away Its Future (Ibidem Press, 2025), written with Noam Pitri and distributed by Columbia University Press. Drawing from her experiences as a German journalist and former student at Columbia University, Sittig offers a deeply personal and rigorously documented account of what she describes as a growing “anti-Western coalition” within academic spaces across the United States and Europe. At the heart of the book is a provocative thesis: that the West's greatest threat may not come from external adversaries, but from an internal intellectual shift—one that prioritizes ideological certainty over open inquiry, and moral posturing over evidence-based reasoning. Sittig and Pitri trace this pattern across campuses, where unlikely alliances have formed between strands of “woke” theory and political Islam. While these movements differ philosophically, Sittig argues that they converge tactically in their shared suspicion of Western liberal values and their embrace of absolutist moral frameworks. Our discussion brought these ideas into sharp focus through Sittig's own experiences. As a student, she encountered resistance—and at times hostility—when attempting to research topics such as Islamism and terrorism in Europe. What should have been a space for intellectual exploration instead became, in her telling, a site of constraint. This tension between inquiry and ideology echoes one of the book's central historical parallels: the case of Trofim Lysenko in the Soviet Union, where political dogma overrode scientific truth with devastating consequences. Sittig also details the evolving dynamics of campus activism, particularly in the aftermath of October 7th. She points to organized student groups, including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), and examines their funding structures and messaging strategies. Of particular concern, she notes, are instances of social media activity and organizing efforts that appeared to anticipate or justify acts of violence, raising urgent questions about the boundaries between activism and endorsement. Yet the book is not only a critique—it is also a warning grounded in historical consciousness. Referencing moments such as the intellectual climate surrounding Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, Sittig suggests that the current moment reflects a longer trajectory in which academic culture has increasingly struggled to balance respect for cultural difference with a commitment to universal principles like free speech. Despite the book's ambition to reach a wide and ideologically diverse audience, Sittig shared that its reception has largely mirrored existing divides. Readers already aligned with its arguments have embraced it, while critics have remained unconvinced. The elusive “middle ground,” it seems, remains difficult to access—perhaps itself a reflection of the polarization the book seeks to diagnose. And yet, there is a note of cautious optimism. The very fact that Intellectual Self-Destruction was published and distributed through major academic channels suggests that spaces for dissenting perspectives still exist, even if they are contested. As educators, scholars, and engaged citizens, we are left with a pressing challenge: how do we cultivate environments that encourage rigorous debate without collapsing into ideological conformity? Sittig's work does not offer easy answers, but it insists that the question cannot be ignored. Learn more about your ad choices.

In my recent conversation with Sittig, we explored her co-authored book Intellectual Self-Destruction: How the West Gambles Away Its Future (Ibidem Press, 2025), written with Noam Pitri and distributed by Columbia University Press. Drawing from her experiences as a German journalist and former student at Columbia University, Sittig offers a deeply personal and rigorously documented account of what she describes as a growing “anti-Western coalition” within academic spaces across the United States and Europe. At the heart of the book is a provocative thesis: that the West's greatest threat may not come from external adversaries, but from an internal intellectual shift—one that prioritizes ideological certainty over open inquiry, and moral posturing over evidence-based reasoning. Sittig and Pitri trace this pattern across campuses, where unlikely alliances have formed between strands of “woke” theory and political Islam. While these movements differ philosophically, Sittig argues that they converge tactically in their shared suspicion of Western liberal values and their embrace of absolutist moral frameworks.

What explains the rise of religious populism in contemporary Turkish politics and society? How does industrialization help to explain change and continuity in social and religious life in Muslim majority countries? In his new book Industrial Islamism: How Authoritarian Movements Mobilize Workers (University of California Press, 2025), Utku Balaban examines Turkey's rapid post-Cold War industrialization and argues that the answers to these questions lie in a class analysis centered on the relationships between employers and employees situated within larger contexts of globalization and historical Islamization. Political and religious transformations occurring in the 1980s and 1990s are not the result of a cultural backlash to or rejection of “Westernization,” or a nostalgia for an idealistic past. Rather, Balaban argues they are related to the rise of a socio-economic-political class he calls the “faubourgeosie” that strategically employ Islamic populism as a method of protecting their interests against other primary class actors. These changes are internal to the mechanics and logics of capitalism as shifts in the traditional relations of production produced new alliances and networks based on small-scale capital accumulation. Balaban's Turkish case study can be applied to other Muslim-majority countries in which small-scale industrialists similarly dealt with economic anxiety and aspirations through recourse to popular Islamist rhetoric not as a specifically moral strategy, but as a political one. Industrial Islamism recently received the best new book in the category of international political economy from the International Studies Association. Dr. Utku Balaban is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Xavier University. He is the author of A Conveyor Belt of Flesh: Urban Space and the Proliferation of Industrial Labor Practices in Istanbul's Garment Industry (2011) and Social Inclusion Practices in Turkey (2015).

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with three major crime stories, including a deadly shooting at a San Diego mosque with past ties to 9/11 figures, new FBI confirmation that an Austin terror attack was motivated by support for Iran's Islamist regime, and a Texas crime spree that reignites the debate over AI-powered Flock surveillance cameras. He also breaks down President Trump's new $1.7 billion fund for victims of the Biden-Harris administration, warning that while the compensation may be justified, Democrats could use the same precedent in the future to reward their own political supporters. Bryan then turns to Iran, where Trump is holding off on renewed bombing at the request of Arab leaders even as the naval blockade continues to choke off Tehran's oil revenue. Plus, Bryan covers rising diesel costs hitting school districts, reports that Cuba may be stockpiling attack drones with possible Iranian support, and growing tensions with European leaders in Germany, Austria, and the UK over immigration, Islamism, and America's role in the world. He closes with medical news from Japan on how plastic chemicals like BPA may harm male fertility, and how para-probiotics could one day help protect sperm health.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: San Diego Islamic Center shooting 2026 mosque attack, Austin Texas Islamist terror attack Iran supporter, Flock cameras AI surveillance crime debate, Trump Biden Harris victims fund IRS tax leak settlement, Iran war update Trump pauses bombing Arab leaders, Kharg Island blockade Iran oil exports 2026, Cuba attack drones Guantanamo Bay Iranian advisors, Germany Austria UK Islamism immigration debate, BPA male fertility sperm health para-probiotics Japan study, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Free Speech, Guns and Moses, Media Bias, and the Fight Over America's Future Remembering Allen Nathan and Continuing the All-Stars In this episode of Spouting Off, host Karen Kataline opens by reflecting on the loss of Allen Nathan and the continuation of the Allen Nathan All-Stars in his memory. She frames the program around free speech, debate, and the freedom to hear uncensored ideas, then introduces her first guest, Salvador Litvak, director, producer, humorist, and filmmaker behind the mystery thriller Guns and Moses. Karen explains that she watched the film the night before with friends and wanted to bring Litvak on to discuss its message, production, and cultural relevance. Guns and Moses and the Right to Self-Defense Salvador Litvak discusses Guns and Moses, describing it as a film that is pro-faith, pro-Second Amendment, and centered on Jews who refuse to remain passive in the face of threats. He says the film has been warmly received by audiences, even while receiving little support from legacy media outlets. Karen and Litvak focus on how the movie portrays Jewish self-defense, with a rabbi who is reluctant to use a gun but takes responsible training seriously in order to protect his family and community. They also note that the film avoids simplistic stereotypes and presents Jewish characters as nuanced, faithful, and capable of moral courage. Antisemitism, Media Suppression, and Mamdani The conversation then shifts toward antisemitism, media narratives, and the New York City mayoral race involving Zohran Mamdani. Karen and Litvak argue that antisemitism appears across different political and ideological forms and that the media often pressures Jews and other targeted people to remain quiet or passive. Litvak connects his family history to concerns about socialism and communism, explaining that his mother and grandmother survived the Holocaust, lived under Soviet rule in Hungary, and later left Chile after Salvador Allende's election. He warns New Yorkers against electing Mamdani, whom both he and Karen characterize as dangerous, anti-Jewish, socialist, and communist. Tim Graham on Media, Comedy, and Political Narratives Karen's next guest is Tim Graham, executive editor at Newsbusters and host of the Newsbusters Podcast. They discuss how late-night comedians and mainstream media figures have treated the New York mayoral race, with Graham saying that most jokes have targeted Mamdani's opponents rather than Mamdani himself. Karen and Graham compare media enthusiasm for Mamdani to past media fascination with Barack Obama, arguing that the press often protects or glamorizes left-wing figures while dismissing concerns about ideology, antisemitism, Islamism, or public safety. The segment frames Mamdani as part of a larger debate about media bias, Democratic Party direction, and the consequences of open-society rhetoric that excuses illiberal movements. Fears About New York and the Democratic Party The Mamdani discussion continues with concern over whether New York City could follow the path of cities like London, especially in relation to public safety, Jewish life, Islamist politics, and the ability of non-Muslims and Jews to feel safe in public. Graham says Republicans may use Mamdani as an example of what the Democratic Party has become, while Karen presses the point that Democratic leaders such as Hakeem Jeffries and Barack Obama have connections or strategic silence around Mamdani. The segment closes with Graham directing listeners to Newsbusters for more analysis of media bias and political coverage. Grace Stanke VanderWaal on Nuclear Optimism The episode ends with Karen welcoming Grace Stanke VanderWaal, Miss America 2023 and a trained nuclear engineer, to discuss nuclear energy, optimism, and America's energy future. VanderWaal explains that her upcoming book will focus on harnessing optimism in everyday life and that she applies that outlook to nuclear power. She argues that the United States has the best-performing nuclear fleet in the world and that nuclear energy offers abundant, reliable, clean power. She also discusses recent nuclear developments, including plant restarts, Trump administration support for nuclear expansion, regulatory reform, and the need to unite behind strong energy infrastructure as artificial intelligence increases demand on the power grid.

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.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with comedian and political commentator Bill Maher for a controversial conversation on Islamism, antisemitism, immigration, free speech, and the future of Western civilisation.We begin with the explosion of antisemitic attacks across Britain, Europe, and the United States, from synagogue firebombing and violent assaults to the growing atmosphere of intimidation facing Jewish communities. Maher argues that Western elites have systematically downplayed the scale of the problem, while Winston challenges the political class for refusing to confront its causes openly.The conversation then turns to Islam, mass migration, and the liberal reluctance to criticise religious extremism. Maher explains why he believes the word “Islamophobia” has been weaponised to shut down debate, while both discuss the failures of multiculturalism, the grooming gangs scandal in Britain, gender inequality under Islamist systems, and whether certain aspects of Islamic culture are fundamentally incompatible with Western liberal values.We also examine the political realignment around Israel, with Maher arguing that antisemitism has spread from the far fringes into mainstream Left and Right-wing politics alike. The discussion explores university protests, Hamas apologism, identity politics, and why support for Israel has fractured across the political spectrum.At the end, I delve deeper into the topics we discussed with Bill.

Solomon and Self discuss the recent reversal of a controversial Muslims-only event at a Texas amusement park, highlighting the importance of legislative action in protecting civil rights.In the second segment, Dr. Peter McCullough returns to provide insights into the recent Hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship, discussing its implications and how individuals can protect themselves. The episode also features investigative reporter Jerry Dunleavy, who shares the latest on declassified information involving Tulsi Gabbard.Lastly, the show welcomes Scott Singer, a rising political candidate, to discuss his vision and the attention he is garnering nationwide.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with neuroscientist, author, and public intellectual Sam Harris for a conversation on political extremism, Islamism, Trump, open societies, religion, and the future of the West.We begin with the rise of political violence in America and whether the chaos consuming both the Left and the Right points to something deeper than Trump himself. Harris argues that ideological extremism on the Left has become normalised within mainstream institutions, while populism on the Right has eroded confidence in liberal democratic norms.The conversation then turns to Islamism, the Middle East, and the future of Western civilisation. Harris lays out his long-standing argument that jihadism represents a genuine ideological threat to open societies, while I challenge him on nationalism, religion, and the limits of secular liberalism. Together, we explore Israel, Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, mass migration into Europe, and whether the West still believes strongly enough in its own values to survive.We also examine the presidency of Donald Trump, with Harris criticising Trump's character and transactional worldview while simultaneously acknowledging that many of Trump's foreign policy instincts — particularly regarding Iran and Islamism.Finally, the conversation moves into deeper philosophical and spiritual territory.

SCHEDULE OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 4-28-26.1900 BOSPHORUS1. HEADLINE: Kevin Warsh's Nomination to the Federal Reserve GUEST: Elizabeth Peek SUMMARY: Elizabeth Peek discusses Kevin Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve Chair, characterizing him as an inflation hawk who intends to revamp the Fed's communication and narrow its mandate. Warsh aims to shrink the $7 trillion balance sheet and divorce the institution from political influence to ensure long-term monetary stability.2. HEADLINE: New York City's E-bike Enforcement Controversy GUEST: Elizabeth Peek SUMMARY: Elizabeth Peek criticizes NYC's decision to replace criminal summonses with civil penalties for e-bike violations. She argues this "virtue signaling" protects undocumented immigrants from deportation at the expense of pedestrian safety. Unregistered, fast-moving bikes frequently ignore traffic rules, and civil penalties are difficult to enforce against those without fixed abodes.3. HEADLINE: The UAE's Strategic Exit from the OPEC Cartel GUEST: Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY:Jonathan Schanzer explains that the UAE is leaving OPEC to increase oil production, signaling a major rift with Saudi Arabia. This move aims to aid global prices and support Donald Trump's economic agenda. Meanwhile, Iran attempts to link the Straits of Hormuz crisis with Israeli-Lebanese ceasefire negotiations to complicate diplomacy.4. HEADLINE: International Scandals and Israel-Ukraine Tensions GUEST: Jonathan Schanzer SUMMARY:Reports suggest Qatar influenced ICC prosecutor Karim Khan to target Israeli leaders while helping suppress misconduct allegations against him. Simultaneously, Ukraine accuses Israel of purchasing stolen grain from occupied territories. Internally, Israeli politics are shifting as Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett unite to challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership.5. HEADLINE: The Global Impact of the Iranian Energy Conflict GUEST: Mary Kissel SUMMARY: Mary Kisselhighlights a fertilizer crisis caused by the war in Iran, which threatens global food security, particularly in Africa. She views the UAE's OPEC exit as part of a fundamental regional reshaping. Kissel asserts that the U.S. must maintain the political will to secure waterways and address Iran's nuclear program.6. HEADLINE: Navigating the Rodriguez Transition in Venezuela GUEST: Mary Kissel SUMMARY: Delcy Rodriguez, Venezuela's provisional president, is traveling to project stability and attract energy investment. While she aims to present herself as a cooperative figurehead, her future depends on U.S. demands for democracy. Opposition leader Maria Corina Machado continues to draw massive support and plans to return to Venezuela by year's end.7. HEADLINE: German Economic Stagnation and Strategic Critiques GUEST: Judy Dempsey SUMMARY:Friedrich Merz describes Germany as "humiliated" by Iran due to a lack of clear U.S. strategy. Germany faces its fourth year of stagnant growth and a severe demographic crunch with record-low births. While Merz remains an Atlanticist, he critiques the Trump administration's transactional approach and lack of a strategic exit plan.8. HEADLINE: The Decline of Viktor Orbán and Hungary's Pivot GUEST: Judy Dempsey SUMMARY:Hungary's business elite are moving away from Viktor Orbán as Peter Magyar gains popularity by campaigning against systemic corruption. Magyar focuses on delivering tangible public services like healthcare and infrastructure. Orbán's defeat represents a significant blow to Europe's far-right, including Germany's AfD party.9. HEADLINE: Keir Starmer's Leadership Amidst the Mandelson Scandal GUEST: Joseph SternbergSUMMARY: Joseph Sternberg examines UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's instability following the Mandelsonaffair, a bureaucratic scandal involving improper diplomatic nominations. Despite being under pressure, Starmer likely remains in office because the Labor Party lacks a plausible replacement. The scandal's complexity makes it difficult for ordinary voters to comprehend fully.10. HEADLINE: Kevin Warsh's Vision for a Smaller Federal Reserve GUEST: Joseph Sternberg SUMMARY:Joseph Sternberg describes Kevin Warsh as a policymaker who believes the Fed should "stick to its knitting" by focusing strictly on price stability. Warsh intends to shrink the Fed's balance sheet to reduce its political intrusiveness and scale back "forward guidance". This approach aims to defend the central bank's long-term independence.11. HEADLINE: Historical Precedents for Modern Maritime Chokepoints GUEST: Ziyuan (Emily) WangSUMMARY: Emily Wang explains how the 1936 Montreux Convention established Turkey as a durable gatekeeper for the Turkish Straits, offering lessons for modern conflicts. The treaty balanced the shared tacit interests of opposing powers like Britain and Russia. Its success highlights the importance of legally binding frameworks in managing strategic waterways.12. HEADLINE: Managing Risks in Global Maritime Chokepoints GUEST: Ziyuan (Emily) Wang SUMMARY:Emily Wang analyzes the current threats in the Straits of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, noting that risk perception and insurance markets are as vital as physical security. She argues that long-term stability requires quantifying tacit interests and maintaining a strong navy to ensure credible gunboat diplomacy against revisionist powers.13. HEADLINE: Pakistan's Emerging Role as a Neutral Diplomatic Site GUEST: Sadanand Dhume SUMMARY:Sadanand Dhume discusses Pakistan's surprising role as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran, facilitated by its unique geography and ties to China. Field Marshal Asim Munir leads this effort. A successful resolution could weaken the pernicious ideology of Islamism, reverberating positively throughout the broader Muslim world.14. HEADLINE: Ideological Barriers in Pakistan's Foreign Policy GUEST: Sadanand Dhume SUMMARY:Sadanand Dhume explores Pakistan's deep-rooted hostility toward Israel, which persists despite regional shifts toward normalization. While India views Pakistan's mediation role with envy, Pakistan's military leadership, under Field Marshal Munir, maintains power behind a civilian facade to insulate itself from economic discontent and governance pressures.15. HEADLINE: Al-Qaeda's Massive Military Offensive in Mali GUEST: Caleb Weiss and Bill RoggioSUMMARY: Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio report on an unprecedented offensive by JNIM, al-Qaeda's West Africanbranch, which has blockaded Mali's capital and seized key military bases. The Malian state and Russian forces are in retreat, leaving behind significant equipment. This operation signals a major failure in intelligence and coordination.16. HEADLINE: The Blueprint for Al-Qaeda's Transnational Expansion GUEST: Caleb Weiss and Bill RoggioSUMMARY: This offensive serves as a blueprint for al-Qaeda to target other Sahalian states like Burkina Faso and Niger. Alarmingly, Ukrainian-supplied drones used by Tuareg rebels have inadvertently aided al-Qaeda's efforts. Bill Roggio emphasizes that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State continue to fight for global dominance across multiple continents.

In April 2026, Pope Leo XIV, deep in a public feud with President Trump over the Iran war, made his first trip to Africa. He chose Algeria: the birthplace of Augustine, the spiritual founder of his order. Algeria is demanding reparations from France for 132 years of colonial rule and 1.5 million dead. It's parliament declared French colonization a "state crime" just four months before Leo landed. Before visiting with any Catholics, Leo laid a wreath at an anticolonial martyrs' monument, removed his shoes in one of the world's largest mosques, condemned "neocolonial tendencies" to the diplomatic corps, and honored 19 Catholic martyrs who stayed to serve Algerian Muslims through a civil war that killed 200,000.  The right-wing press logged every stop as an outrage. The Arab press read it as vindication. And the old-school Algerian left noted that papal forgiveness might be easier for France to accept than a reparations bill. Matthew reads the visit through Augustine, historical materialism, liberation theology, and the testament of Christian de Chergé, prior of Tibhirine, who in 1994 wrote about his immanent martyrdom as the insurgents drew near. In his final testament, de Chergé wrote: I well know the contempt with which the Algerians taken as a whole have come to be dismissed. I also know the caricature of Islam that a certain kind of Islamism encourages. It is too easy to put one's conscience at rest by identifying this religion with the forms of fundamentalism of its extremists.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Democrats are planning to impeach President Trump on day one if they retake the House in the midterms, with members already building the case through shadow hearings and fact-checking. They are giddy about it, viewing it as a way to bog him down, undermine his momentum, and target his family and friends, even though removal in the Senate is impossible. This dangerous guerrilla warfare, that turns the Constitution inside out, is part of a broader Democrat strategy to seize and keep permanent power. Also, Democrats will talk about affordability and domestic issues but have no real intention of addressing them, as they block drilling and pipelines, push electric vehicles that drive up gasoline and food costs, and plan to raise property taxes. They ignore safe streets and will unleash horrific border inflows. Republicans fail to fight effectively, as seen in Virginia where they spent less and engaged late.  Later, it's inexcusable that Hasan Piker, who celebrated 9/11 and October 7th, is celebrated by the Democrat Party. Nick Fuentes has contributed nothing to society and roots for Iran against America. These two and others provide a chorus line of Marxism, Fascism, Islamism, and other isms. Finally, Mollie Hemingway calls in to discuss her new book - Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution. Learn more about your ad choices.

Something has been happening in Michigan politics that deserves the attention of everyone who cares about the health of American democracy. And, as they so often are, the Jews are at the center of events. Taking root in Michigan is a specific and serious ideological threat—Islamism—that is gaining influence inside the Democratic party. This is a story about what happens when that influence is unnamed, accommodated, and finally normalized. And it is a story with major national implications. Muslim Americans serve in the U.S. military, teach in schools, build businesses, raise families, and love this country. Presumably, most Muslim citizens of America see their futures as bound up with the future of this republic, with no sympathy for those who would undermine it. But a radical Islamic political ideology has taken hold in specific institutions, among them the Michigan Democratic party. In March of this year, a Hizballah-inspired attacker drove a truck into the largest Reform synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, when over a hundred children were inside. Two weeks later, the Michigan Democrats held their statewide convention, and the incumbent Jewish regent of the University of Michigan—a man whose home had been attacked, whose family had been terrorized—was denied renomination and replaced by a Dearborn attorney who had praised Hizballah on social media. The leading candidate for the Democratic Senate nomination excused the synagogue attacker. And the pro-Israel Senate candidate was booed by delegates when she addressed the Jewish Voters Caucus. To discuss this growing threat, our guest this week is Jesse Arm, who grew up in West Bloomfield and is now a vice-president at the Manhattan Institute.
