On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the direct assault on our republic and Constitution is very concerning. Former special prosecutor Jack Smith abused his authority by obtaining secret subpoenas for communications from Republican members of Congress, numerous media organizations, journalists, and even the Mark Levin radio show, the only radio show in the country Smith went after, as part of his investigation into President Trump. These actions, carried out with the approval of federal judges and hidden from public view, violated constitutional protections, including separation of powers, the Speech and Debate Clause, and the First Amendment. This investigation was driven by political motives rather than justice. And make no mistake: the Biden White House was looped in on everything.  Also, if Donald Trump was not president, and Kamala Harris won the presidency, the Democrat Party ruled DC, and the Woke Reich isolation appeasers held sway, the Iranian regime would have nuclear weapons, complete control over the Strait of Hormuz driving gas prices far beyond what they are today (which would be the least of our problems), our nation and many others would be facing nuclear attack by an Islamist-terrorist death cult openly committed to our annihilation, or at least nuclear blackmail that would change the face of the planet, and we'd have few if any options in dealing with the Iranian regime. Now that President Trump has prevented ALL of these horrific scenarios because he uniquely had the courage and foresight to act, the various imbeciles of the Left and Radical Right beat their chests and howl to the moon as if they were right about something all along.  They were right about nothing.  But for POTUS acting, they'd be proven wrong about everything, to our grave endangerment and that of the rest of the world. Later, there's a proposed Islamic community center, school, and mosque project near Atlantic Avenue and Lyons Road in South Florida.. After reviewing property records, corporate filings, and organizational connections tied to the project, the ownership structure, property transfers, LLC formations, and relationships among various organizations have become so complex that it is difficult for the public to follow the money, understand who is ultimately responsible, or assess the project's full impact. Residents should demand answers, request records, and put their concerns on the record because this project could significantly affect the surrounding community and deserves thorough public scrutiny. Finally, Alan Dershowitz calls in to discuss his new book - Why I Quit the Dems: And So Should You! (confessions of a reluctant Republican*). Learn more about your ad choices.

1965  IBM  360/85 FORT MEADECONTENTS OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-29-2026Navigating Artificial Intelligence And ElectionsGUEST: Liz PeekLiz Peek analyzes the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence and the emerging debate over its regulation. While tech figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk advocate for industry guardrails to mitigate risks like rogue AI agents and safety vulnerabilities, President Trump pushes for rapid advancement to maintain a competitive edge over China. Peek differentiates macro AI safety concerns from local opposition to data centers, which centers on utility costs. Turning to politics, she evaluates the Senate midterms, noting Republicans hold an edge in key tossup states like New Hampshire and Maine, while Democrats face steep challenges running the table nationwide. File 1Middle East Escalations And ConflictGUEST: Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer evaluates ongoing conflicts across the Middle East, focusing on Iran, Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza. Iran seeks to prolong military tensions to deplete American munitions, raise oil prices, and avoid facing severe domestic anger over its collapsing economy. In Yemen, the Iranian aligned Houthi militia pushes to unify the country, threatening Saudi Arabia and regional stability. Meanwhile, Hezbollah capability in Lebanon has been reduced by eighty percent, though political paralysis hinders government control. Schanzer notes that ending the Gaza conflict hinges on disarming Hamas, while withdrawing American troops from Iraq opens dangerous avenues for Iranian influence across the region. File 2European Leftist Populism And AIGUEST: Joseph Sternberg2 Joseph Sternberg highlights the rise of far left populism in Europe, exemplified by Die Linke winning local elections in Berlin. The party, rooted in East German communism, combines classic Marxist economic proposals like housing nationalization with troubling anti-Semitic sentiments emerging from an alliance of radical critical theorists and Islamist voters. Sternberg argues this coalition makes hostility an existential issue for the left compared to right wing parties. He also addresses the economic uncertainties of artificial intelligence, warning that massive infrastructure spending on data centers may fail to yield expected financial returns, creating major risks alongside ongoing American and Chinese competition. File 3Michigan Senate Battleground Midterm AnalysisGUEST: Thaddeus McCotter Thaddeus McCotter provides an extensive analysis of the Michigan Senate race between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El Sayed. McCotter highlights economic anxieties, inflation, and energy costs driven by Middle East conflict as central voter concerns. While Michigan historically leans Democratic in Senate contests, El Sayed's primary victory over center left Haley Stevens and his association with radical figures like Hassan Piker alienate moderate voters. McCotter observes that while Democrats capitalize on economic frustration, El Sayed's far left platform gives Republicans a viable path. Nationwide, McCotter notes that Democrats face an uphill battle to win the Senate this cycle. File 4Global Security And Strategic GeopoliticsGUEST: Gregory Copley Gregory Copley analyzes global geopolitical shifts, focusing on China, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom. He describes the summit between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump as symbolic stability designed to prop up China's fragile domestic economy and internal Communist Party rivalries amid severe water and demographic crises. In Southeast Asia, Copley examines Indonesia acquiring an aircraft carrier under President Prabowo Subianto, signaling strategic modernization to safeguard vital maritime choke points between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Finally, he dismisses the Cardiff Memorandum, a sovereignty effort by Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish leaders, as grandstanding driven by frustration with Westminster government performance. File 5Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure And RegulationGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague explores the political and economic friction surrounding artificial intelligence expansion, particularly the development of massive data centers. Reporting from Pennsylvania, McTague notes how local municipalities are establishing zoning regulations and utility constraints to prevent corporate developers from imposing facilities without community input. Alongside cohost Thaddeus McCotter, McTague discusses White House backing for a golden age of artificial intelligence, comparing proposed regulatory approaches to financial market oversight. While tech leaders call for industry guardrails, McTague emphasizes that light touch, goal oriented regulatory models are superior to heavy handed rules, warning that political backlash over energy grid strain impacts elections. File 6Russian Election Control Hybrid WarfareGUEST: Ivana StradnerIvana Stradner details how Vladimir Putin maintained absolute control over Russia's Duma elections, securing three quarters of the seats for United Russia through autocratic manipulation, barring anti war parties like Yabloko, and staging fabricated electoral unity. Stradner explains that these domestic maneuvers serve Putin's broader ambition of restoring imperial dominance and testing NATO resolve. Through hybrid warfare, encompassing political pressure, sabotage, cyber operations, and psychological tactics, Russia aims to exploit western disunity and risk aversion. Stradner warns that Putin seeks to expose NATO Article Five as ineffective, emphasizing that western allies must show unity and escalate deterrence to counter threats. FILE 7Russian Sanctions Arctic Energy ExpansionGUEST: Max Meizlish Max Meizlish analyzes the enforcement of United States economic sanctions on Russia's Arctic LNG Two energy project and the strategic implications of the Polar Silk Road partnership between Moscow and Beijing. Meizlish notes that while previous enforcement turned back critical Chinese power modules, inconsistent application permitted later deliveries. Chinese state owned enterprises buy sanctioned facilities to shield transactions from Western pressure while purchasing discounted Russian liquefied natural gas. Meizlish stresses that Washington must utilize new legislative mandates like the Graham Sanctions Act to penalize non compliant Chinese entities, warning that weak enforcement enables adversaries to build dual use Arctic infrastructure.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. The release of five terrorism suspects in the UK less than two days after their arrest is a clear example of how the West is losing its way. Authorities say they are still trying to determine the suspects' motives, activities, and level of involvement in an alleged plot targeting a U.S. air base, yet they were released on bail under monitoring conditions. This reflects a broader problem of political correctness and a reluctance to directly address the role of Islamist extremism. Western societies have largely failed to recognize these trends of demographic changes in London, the growth of Muslim political representation in the United States, and the handling of this case is another example of an unwillingness to confront the issue directly. Later, we are winning the war in Iran even though many people may not feel like we're winning because higher gas prices make the conflict seem costly. Looking at recent events, leadership posturing, and the broader strategic picture, the situation is progressing better than it appears. China, Russia, and Iran operate as an aligned axis, and assessing the health of that network is key to understanding the conflict. Russia has suffered major setbacks, including severe damage to its refining capacity and a sharp decline in oil exports, creating both an energy and economic crisis. The broader strategic trends are signs that the axis is weakening and that we are closer to victory than most people realize. Finally, the economy is really a tale of two economies. On one hand, many people feel frustrated about affordability and believe the economy is struggling. On the other hand, the actual data shows a historic economic boom. Business activity in both services and manufacturing is at its strongest level in years, with demand surging and growth reaching levels not seen since 2015 outside of the post-COVID rebound. Corporate earnings are growing rapidly, GDP is projected to expand at a 5% annualized rate, poverty has fallen to a record low, and median household income has reached a record high while rising faster than inflation. Across nearly every major economic indicator, businesses are thriving and people at all income levels appear to be doing better. Yet despite these historic gains, many Americans remain unhappy with the economy, creating a disconnect between economic data and public perception. Learn more about your ad choices.

Cristina Menenti, VOA News.这导致选举比原计划提前了七个月举行。美国之音新闻记者克里斯蒂娜·梅内蒂报道。A federal judge has largely blocked sweeping executive orders from President Donald Trump that sought to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.一名联邦法官基本阻止了唐纳德·特朗普总统的全面行政命令，该命令旨在终止政府对促进多样性、公平和包容性计划的支持。Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore found that they likely violate free speech rights and granted an injunction blocking them as a lawsuit plays out.巴尔的摩法官亚当·阿贝尔森（Adam Abelson）发现这些命令可能侵犯言论自由权，并在诉讼期间下达禁令阻止这些命令。The city of Baltimore and higher education groups sued, arguing the executive orders are unconstitutional and in overreach of presidential authority.巴尔的摩市和高等教育团体提起诉讼，称这些行政命令违宪，超越了总统的权力。The Trump administration has argued that the president was targeting only DEI programs that violate federal civil rights laws.特朗普政府辩称，总统只针对违反联邦民权法的DEI计划。Elon Musk is cutting jobs at the auto safety agency that oversees his Tesla company.

Kurds, the world's largest stateless ethnic group, have long been a fixture in US and Israeli machinations to undermine, if not topple, Iran's Islamist leaders. They still are. Since attacking Iran on February 28, US President Donald Trump and Israeli leaders have played with the idea of encouraging Iranian Kurdish militants operating from bases in autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan to open a new front in Iran's predominantly Kurdish western provinces. In an indication of continued Israeli interest in the Kurds, Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia-based influential hardline pro-Israeli think tank, this week included Kurdish in the launch of its foreign language offerings. Iranian Kurds have responded lukewarmly to US and Israeli entreaties.

Tudor Dixon sits down with Yasmine Mohammed, author of Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims, for a deeply personal conversation about her upbringing, escape from an abusive forced marriage, and her views on the rise of political Islam in Western countries. Mohammed recounts growing up in Canada after her family became increasingly fundamentalist, being forced to wear the hijab, experiencing abuse as a child, and eventually being married at 19 to a man she describes as an al-Qaeda operative. She explains how becoming a mother ultimately pushed her to break away and protect her daughter. Tudor and Yasmine also discuss Islamism, the Muslim Brotherhood, Sharia law, Iran’s Woman, Life, Freedom movement, antisemitism, October 7, and the distinction Mohammed draws between individual Muslims and Islamist political ideology. Mohammed also discusses her work with the Clarity Coalition and why she believes Western societies need to be willing to openly debate religious extremism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Week In Review episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss the difference between Islam and Islamism, revisit lessons from the 9/11 era, and debate the political influence of controversial figures and movements inside Democratic politics. They also shift to a major Senate victory on college sports reform, outlining a bipartisan bill that passed with overwhelming support and explaining how it would reshape NIL, transfer rules, eligibility standards, and protections for student-athletes. Twenty-five years after 9/11, a new debate has emerged over how political leaders, media figures, and the public discuss Islam, Islamism, and national security. Senator Ted Cruz argues that critics are intentionally blurring the distinction between a religion practiced by millions and a political ideology he describes as a threat to democratic institutions. Cruz responds to criticism of remarks he delivered at the Republican Midterm Convention, where he warned about what he calls a growing alliance between far-left activists and Islamist political movements. He also reacts to a CNN panel discussion that challenged his characterization of Islamism and examines why the issue continues to generate intense political controversy. Topics Covered: Cruz’s response to criticism of his Republican Midterm Convention speech The distinction between Islam, Islamism, and political movements rooted in Sharia governance The legacy of 9/11 and ongoing debates about terrorism and extremism Allegations involving Abdul El-Sayed, religious leaders, and political allies Senate passage of a bipartisan college sports reform bill NIL rules, transfer portal reforms, athlete eligibility standards, and protections for women’s and Olympic sports Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Brian T. Kennedy, president of the American Strategy Group, chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, and a board member and senior fellow of the Claremont Institute, talks about his recent piece at Claremont’s American Mind, “The Heavy Yoke of 9/11.” Brian discusses the idea that the U.S. has never truly taken on the ideology of Islam, instead making excuses and downplaying its significance. Kennedy argues that this approach has led to the importation of millions of Muslims into the country, many of whom hold radical views, and the rise of Islamist politicians. The discussion also touches on the concept of "Islamophobia" and how it was used to silence critics of Islam, as well as the American people's discomfort with discussing religion. Kennedy suggests that the country's reluctance to scrutinize Islam has led to a lack of understanding and a failure to address the ideology's incompatibility with free society.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zineb Riboua is a research fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East and founder of its China in MENA Project. She joins Zoe Sankey to discuss Iran, the Houthis, Israel, Turkey, Islamism, China's influence in the Middle East, and the growing ideological divide between the West and its opponents. Why is Iran escalating from a position of weakness? What do the Houthis actually want? And how does the ideology of third-worldism connect Islamists with parts of the Western left? Riboua explains Iran's strategy of “buying time”, the impact of sanctions and the naval blockade, China's role as a source of support for Tehran, and the Houthis' search for new patrons—including their growing interest in al-Shabaab. She also discusses Morocco-Israel normalisation, the changing balance of power in the Middle East, Turkey and Erdoğan's ambitions, and the prospects for Syria-Israel normalisation. The conversation then turns to Europe and the West: why some young North African men become radicalised after migrating to Europe, the spread of Islamist and anti-Western ideas, and the rise of third-worldism as a political framework. Finally, Riboua discusses the rise of AI doomerism, China's role in the debate, the politics of degrowth and environmentalism, declining fertility in the Middle East, and what demographic change means for the future of the region and the West.

What do September 11 and October 7 have in common, and what happens when the public narrative surrounding an attack begins to change?In Episode 506 of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew reflects on the 25th anniversary of September 11 and draws parallels between the aftermath of 9/11 in the United States and the October 7 attacks in Israel. He examines radical Islamist terrorism, the changing narratives surrounding victims and aggressors, and what he sees as the need for moral clarity when confronting terrorism and antisemitism.Andrew also addresses the war in Gaza and challenges claims about Israel's conduct and responsibility for civilian casualties, arguing that the realities of urban warfare and Hamas' role in the conflict cannot be separated from the debate.Closer to home, Andrew turns to Minnesota politics and U.S. Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan, examining her positions on Israel through the lens of her advocacy for Indigenous peoples and their connection to ancestral lands. He raises a question he believes deserves greater scrutiny: How should the concept of indigeneity be applied when discussing the Jewish people and the land of Israel?The episode begins with an update on Andrew's recent appearance with Liz Collin and his client Mary Smith, the longtime Minneapolis Public Schools teacher who was reinstated through arbitration with full back pay, benefits and no loss of tenure after being terminated for the way she reported student misconduct.It's an episode about terrorism, history, Israel, politics and the narratives that shape how we understand all three.Subscribe, follow and join the conversation at TheAndrewParkerShow.com.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.  Follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Subscribe to our email list at www.theandrewparkershow.comCopyright © 2026 The Andrew Parker Show - All Rights Reserved. 

Turkey has jailed dozens of people pending trial as a sweeping crackdown on LGBTQI+ groups widens, prompting international condemnation and protests outside Turkish embassies on Friday. By Thursday, courts in several provinces had jailed at least 82 people following raids on LGBTQI+ organisations, clubs, cafes and homes. The cases include LGBTQI+ activists and members of rights groups as well as people accused of prostitution, drug offences and other crimes. Not everyone jailed is accused of gay rights advocacy.The United Nations human rights office has called on Turkey to uphold human rights without discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity and to immediately release anyone arbitrarily detained. Protests were held outside Turkish embassies in cities including Paris, Brussels, London, Oslo and Washington on Friday. The crackdown began on Saturday, when police carried out coordinated raids targeting nine LGBTQI+ organisations. Justice Minister Akin Gurlek said legal action was being taken against 162 people, nine associations and 13 businesses in 15 provinces. Turkey arrests dozens in ongoing crackdown on LGBTQI+ groups Mass detentions The raids prompted protests across Turkey, including outside Istanbul's main courthouse on Tuesday. Police broke up the demonstration and detained more than 100 people, including journalists. They were later released. “I am here because I want to say that LGBTQ+ friends are not alone in this country,” said Ayse, a protester who asked to be identified only by her first name. “I want to support them and to stay in solidarity with them, which is not easy these days in Turkey, but they are not alone, and we are not alone, and we will be here until the end.” Opposition DEM Party parliamentarian Ozgul Saki remained at the protest, protected from arrest by parliamentary immunity. “This oppression against LGBTQ+ people is an attempt to compress society into a single type; to build an Islamist, Turkish, racist society,” Saki said. “Those who are here say, 'No! Society will live equally, freely and honourably with all its diversity,' and that's why they were all detained.” The operations have been defended by Gurlek, from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's conservative Justice and Development Party (AKP). “No criminal organisation, abuse network or illegal activity which targets children, youths or families will be tolerated,” Gurlek posted on social media. Among the organisations affected was Istanbul-based SPoD, which provides psychological support to LGBTQI+ people. “As a community, we were expecting that such an operation would come one day. But we didn't imagine it as that violent, that much unlawful,” said a SPoD representative who asked to remain anonymous. “They raided our office; I think four or five have been detained, and they are still in custody. What will happen to the LGBTQ+ community after this day? Like they can implement a kind of informal criminalisation upon our community, so my personal feeling is an immense feeling of uncertainty.” Surge in anti-LGBTQ disinformation targets Pride in Europe Obscenity allegations Homosexuality has been legal since the foundation of the Turkish republic in 1923, but authorities are using an obscenity law as part of the crackdown. “All of our board members are detained due to the allegations of obscenity,” said Yildiz Tar of Ankara-based KAOS GL, Turkey's leading LGBTQI+ news portal. “They look into our social media account, and our news articles are seen as obscene because, for example, there is one picture of two women kissing, and they see that it's obscene. So that is why they have been detained.” The measures resemble actions taken against LGBTQI+ communities in Russia and Egypt, Tar said. “It's very similar to Russia and Egypt, like the things they want to do is very similar to anti-gay propaganda laws, and there were huge operations, and people got detained,” Tar said. “So it's very similar to both countries. And actually, like the Turkish government is very fond of Putin's way of dealing things.” The crackdown has also drawn condemnation from the European Union and international human rights groups. “It's an attempt to show LGBTQ+ people as immoral and against the family. But in fact, none of this does anything to protect the family at all,” said Emma Sinclair-Webb, who leads Human Rights Watch's Turkey office. “It's all about discrediting and stigmatizing people for their sexual orientation or gender identity.” Turkey marks a decade since the coup that never was, but never really ended Wider crackdown The arrests form part of a broader crackdown on people regarded as opposing the government, Sinclair-Webb said. “This operation should be set in the context of a very wide crackdown on anybody who is regarded as oppositional to the government, whether in terms of being politically or in terms of their lifestyle or their outlook… there is a general attempt by the government to impose as well as, you know, ideological conformity on people, lifestyle,” Sinclair-Webb said. President Erdogan routinely refers to LGBTQI+ people as perverts and has stepped up his rhetoric ahead of much-rumoured early elections. Gurlek has called on prosecutors to increase investigations into the LGBTQI+ community, fuelling fears of further arrests. The crackdown has also prompted condemnation across Turkish civil society, with trade unions, doctors' associations and opposition parties voicing their opposition. For Tar, that support offers some hope amid fears over what could follow for Turkey's LGBTQI+ community. “If this attack won't be stopped, it would mean a lot of maltreatment and torture; it can also cause hate crimes; it incites hatred inside the country too,” Tar said. “And it will mean that you cannot be openly queer; if they succeed in their operation, that is a really, really hellish scenario.”

In this week's Conflicted Conversation, UCL associate professor Philip Cunliffe makes a provocative case: far from being polar opposites, global Islamism and American unipolarity were born of the same globalised order. But what happens when that order starts to fall apart? And is today's rising New Left inadvertently fighting to save the liberal-imperial system it says it wants to destroy? For deeper dives and world-class Q&As with Aimen Dean, join the CONFLICTED COMMUNITY here: https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm Philip and Thomas discuss: How U.S. unipolarity and globalisation reshaped the world after the Cold War Why Cunliffe thinks ‘global Islam' is a distinctly modern political phenomenon How early state-seeking Islamism gave way to transnational Islamism and jihadism Why neoliberal globalisation weakened state sovereignty and boosted Islamist networks The strange overlap between liberal humanitarianism and jihadist causes How the CIA, Afghanistan and Syria blurred the line between ally and enemy Why the new American Left could revive the logic of liberal interventionism over Israel What comes after the decline of American empire: sovereign nation-states or rival new blocs?

For nearly a century, the Moslem Brotherhood has had an agenda to infiltrate and conquer communities and countries around the world. Moslem Brotherhood ideology has become state theology in some Arab and Islamic countries including US allies. Western countries built on Biblical values are in their crosshairs. Their influence has been widely documented and exposed in media, academia, politics, and more. Today, on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attack in the United States, in the wake of the election of Islamists to public office in New York, for Congress and Senate, and in state elections, the upcoming US midterm election stands to be the most critical in terms of elevating Islamists into positions of influence, Islamic foreign electoral interference, the threat that is derived from these from outside actors like Qatar and Turkey, and from imported and home grown violent Islamist extremists (HVEs) within the United States.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, has the West forgotten who the enemy actually is? "The Quad" reacts to Bill Maher's explosive warning about a generation increasingly sympathetic to Osama bin Laden and debate how Islamist extremism went from being recognized as a threat to being defended by parts of the Western Left. Then the conversation turns to a new global danger: the Houthis' advance around the strategic Bab al-Mandab shipping route and what it could mean for global trade and your wallet. Plus, the panel unloads on Jeremy Corbyn, the controversy surrounding Fauda and an anti-Israel film celebrated in Venice...before revealing why Pink and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch earned Hero of the Week.

On 11 September 2012, Islamist fighters attacked a United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans were killed in that attack. Just a few months later, Ronnie and Anita Smith, a young American couple, moved to Benghazi with their infant son. Their goal was to live out their faith in Christ and have opportunities to introduce Libyan people to Christ. "We wanted to live our lives out in a place that didn't know Jesus," Anita says. Anita acknowledges that there was fear in moving to a dangerous place, especially soon after a deadly attack on Americans. But Anita says God gave both her and Ronnie peace about residing in Libya to further God's Kingdom. Ronnie was shot and killed while on a morning jog in Benghazi. Days after Ronnie's death in December of 2013, Anita was on national TV in the United States and on Arabic-language TV all over the Middle East, forgiving her husband's killers and expressing her love for the Libyan people. Ronnie Smith taught chemistry to high school students at the Benghazi International School and was admired for his knowledge and chemistry skills, but even more for his warm personality and love for his students. Anita shares how their Libyan neighbours looked out for them and welcomed them into their families, spending time together, drinking tea, and talking about life and faith. When she hears of Libyans who started following Christ after hearing the testimony of her and Ronnie, it's a powerful reminder of how Christ is using their sacrifice. Listen also as she shares how we can pray for the widows of persecuted Christian martyrs all over the world today.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. This is the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We say "Never Forget" and pay homage to the victims and their families, but we have forgotten. And maybe we never opened our eyes in the first place, because 25 years later the West is getting our rear ends kicked by Islam. Islam is winning and as a society we are clueless, because we've never thought through what "Never Forget" represents. In the aftermath of 9/11, many of us felt helpless and we didn't get Islam. But if you had told someone back then that 25 years later an Islamist would be Mayor of New York City, they'd think you were nuts. Suppose the real Ground Zero is not the site of the Twin Towers, but Michigan? We've totally blown the Never Forget thing. As a society we've closed our eyes to Islam's plan to takeover America. Also, on 9/11 we were at war, but we interpreted differently from the Islamists. We thought were at war with terrorists "over there," while we were blind to what was happening right here at home. In the 9,130 days since 9/11, an average of 5.5 terror attacks have taken place. Islamic terror has become so common that it takes an October 7th type of event to make news. Out of political correctness, many attacks get labelled "hate crimes." The truth is the Islamists didn't need to attack the Twin Towers. The Islamic plan has parallel paths: terror, infiltration and political correctness. The West has allowed itself to be manipulated by Islam and the plan is working. Then, 25 years ago, all of two elected officials in the U.S. were Islamists, both in Michigan. Today, that number is 255, including four members of Congress and Hizzoner Mayor Mamdani. The Muslim Brotherhood has an actual 100 year plan, first discovered in 1982, with a ten point plan to takeover the West. They realized the West couldn't be conquered militarily, so they're doing it by gradual entrenchment. They're playing the long game and it's working. Finally, if we do nothing else, where do we go from here? The Muslim Brotherhood 100 year plan tells us. We went from identifying western societies and establishing infrastructure, to building a North American network, to institutional consolidation, to political and civic participation. From here, the plan calls for influencing institutions, to influencing laws and public policy favorable to Islam, to the normalization of Islamist political ideas. In other words, Islam is no longer outside the norm, Islam IS the norm. The question is, do we have it within us to protect our republic, our Judeo-Christian values and our way of life?

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon reflects on the solemn anniversary of September 11, marking 25 years since the tragic terrorist attacks that reshaped America. Solomon addresses the troubling trend of denialism surrounding the events of that day, emphasizing the importance of remembering the true nature of the attacks and honoring the nearly 3,000 victims who lost their lives.Joining Solomon is Fred Fleitz, who discusses the alarming efforts by some educators and media figures to reinterpret the motives behind the 9/11 attacks, downplaying the role of Islamist extremism. The conversation highlights the dangers of redefining history and the potential consequences for future generations' understanding of this pivotal moment in American history.Throughout the episode, Solomon recounts personal experiences from that fateful day, including his interactions with Barbara Olson, a victim of the attack on the Pentagon, and the subsequent work he undertook to expose failures in the intelligence community that allowed the attacks to occur. He urges listeners not to forget the lessons learned and the sacrifices made by first responders and military personnel in the years that followed.The episode features insights from Dr. Seb Gorka, Senior Director for Counterterrorism under President Trump, and a discussion with war hero Jack Carr, who shares his perspective on the ongoing fight against terrorism.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, one year ago today, Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood for the crime of engaging students. People who project onto Kirk whatever they want and put words in his mouth or selectively play clips, and especially those who abuse his family and wife Erica, are disgusting and evil and should be boycotted and ignored. There is concern that TPUSA not become a home for the Woke Reich isolationists; Charlie was neither an isolationist nor Woke Reich. TPUSA needs to be very careful about who it associates with. Later, we remember September 11th - 25 years later. We were attacked by Islamist terrorists, yet our doors have remained wide open for a quarter of a century, especially in the four years preceding Trump's second presidency, and there are consequences. The Islamist enemy has not gone away; they are more powerful and more networked than ever and are here within our borders. The ruling class calls it a religion of peace; there may be peaceful individual Muslims, but it is not a religion of peace when one understands Sharia law. Also, Fairfax County Public Schools issued a 9/11 commemoration guide advising teachers not to link the attacks to radical Islam and to create safe spaces for Muslim students. This is candy-coating the worst terrorist attack in American history, hiding the Islamist motives of the hijackers, and using tax dollars to brainwash students rather than teach the facts.

This episode of the podcast is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the growing threat of Islamist ideology in the United States. The speaker delves into the controversy surrounding Mayor Mamdani's decision to attend the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 ceremony, despite the families of the victims strongly objecting to his presence. The discussion centers around the mayor's ties to Islamist groups and individuals with a history of terrorism, including his ceremonial pen being passed to a lawyer who represented an al-Qaeda operative. The speaker argues that this is not just a matter of personal preference, but a deliberate attempt to promote Islamist ideology and undermine the memory of the 9-11 victims. The episode also touches on the importance of recognizing the true nature of the 9-11 attacks and the ongoing threat posed by Islamist groups. The speaker presents a compelling case for why Mayor Mamdani's actions are not just a harmless gesture, but a calculated move to further his own ideological agenda. The episode is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of Islamist ideology and its impact on American society. If you're concerned about the growing threat of Islamist ideology in the US and want to understand the motivations behind Mayor Mamdani's actions, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's insightful analysis and learn more about the issues at play.

Live Sep 11, 2026  | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 152)9/11, 25 Years Later -- Did We Learn Anything? | Yaron Brook ShowWatch now: https://youtube.com/live/bCVd8x6k9AA"We have the hijackers' names, their financiers, even the warnings — so why, 25 years later, can Washington still not say who attacked us on 9/11?"25 years ago, 19 men killed nearly 3,000 Americans in under an hour. Today, American forces are still trading fire with the region that produced them, oil is over $100, the Strait of Hormuz is barely open — and Washington still cannot say, in one sentence, who the enemy is or what winning looks like.Yaron Brook marks the anniversary by asking the one question nobody in Washington wants answered: did America learn anything from 9/11 — or just how to live with the threat instead of ending it? He names the enemy by name (Islamic totalitarianism, fountainhead Iran, financier Saudi Arabia), lays out the twenty years of warnings the country ignored before 2001, and shows how altruism — the idea that self-defense isn't a good enough reason to go to war — turned Afghanistan and Iraq into twenty-year sinkholes of American blood and money. He also tells the story of Rick Rescorla, the Morgan Stanley security chief who trained his people to survive the towers while everyone around him called him paranoid — the one hero of that morning who actually thought, judged, and acted.If you think 9/11 was a settled story, this is the episode that reopens the file.

On the 25th remembrance of the September 11 attacks, Todd recounts where he was as the news unfolded and reflects on how the tragedy transformed American life. He reviews the timeline of the four hijacked flights, honors the 2,977 victims, first responders, and passengers of Flight 93, and recalls the national unity that followed. Todd also traces the years of escalating al-Qaeda terrorism that preceded the attacks and argues that a new generation must learn what happened, reject revisionism, and never forget the lives lost or the threat posed by radical Islamist terrorism.

September the 11th, 2026. Twenty-five years from that horrendous day that we now, by shorthand, simply refer to as “Nine Eleven”. How have we come in just 2.5 decades from our largest city, New York City, being attacked by Muslim terrorists, to this day where New York City is now presided over by a Muslim mayor? It's a remarkable story, and we need to examine it. Joe Rigney, “Mosques and idols in America,” September 3, 2026. A.S. Ibrahim, “The mayor's invented Muhammad,” September 3, 2026. ——— “America doesn't owe you a blank check,” August 21, 2026.——— “The real Islamist threat,” August 17, 2026.

On today's episode, Conspiracy Friday hits the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with James, Glenn, and Dwayne (Charlotte was expected in the title but out babysitting). Glenn walks the classic conspiracy stack and the debunks — Pentagon missile/hole claims, NORAD war-games confusion, Rumsfeld's pre-day trillion, “laughing Israelis” that weren't, and Saudi foreknowledge questions — while James refuses to let the Blob's Islamophobia frame make America forget who did it, and Dwayne brings Howard Lutnick's Cantor Fitzgerald story (658 colleagues gone) plus a hard line that soft “Islamist vs Muslim” splits don't wash. Then the room flips to something hopeful: the GOP's first real midterm convention in Dallas and RFK Jr.'s home-run speech — Butler phone call three hours after the ear shot, Charlie Kirk as bridge, Kamala ghosting the call, Democrats lawfaring him to stay on ballots he'd left, and every promise Trump made him kept. Second half hits electrostatic cloud seeding and the “law of capture” rain fight, Flock/motor-voter centralization after a Louisiana-linked driver's-license vault hit the dark web, a fake AI drone-shoplifter cleanup, and the usual PJ's Exit 33 send-off. Don't miss it!

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Mohamed Atta's own writings and background suggest that religious conviction and ideological commitment, rather than poverty, foreign policy grievances, or social alienation, were central motivations behind his actions on September 11th.  Western leaders and analysts have often preferred socioeconomic explanations while underestimating the role of religious and civilizational factors.  After misdiagnosing the enemy and importing culturally incompatible populations, the West now confronts the same threat at home and must undertake a serious stock-taking of violent Islamism and the wider ecosystem around it. Both Islamist and Marxist movements are fundamentally driven by the pursuit of power. Western elites often deny or underestimate cultural and ideological threats. Modern challenges to the West extend beyond terrorism to include demographic change, institutional influence, migration pressures, cyber operations, disinformation, and alliances between secular leftist movements and politicized Islamist groups. Western societies face a broader civilizational challenge and must recognize and respond to it in order to preserve their constitutional and liberal traditions. Later, Rep Claudia Tenney calls in to discuss her letter objecting to a British boycott campaign aimed at Israelis living in Judea and Samaria. Section 999 of the Internal Revenue Code requires the United States to track allied countries that boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel (as in the BDS movement) so American companies are not put at commercial risk; she asked Bessent to review whether Britain's action interferes with free U.S. commerce and specifically targets Judea and Samaria. The federal government needs to act because unsanctioned international boycotts harm U.S. businesses and the economy.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dana Loecsh reflects on the one year observance since the death of Charlie Kirk and how that moment affected today's conservative youth. Dana shares one of her favorite Charlie Kirk quotes where he warned conservatives about the threats of Islamist and Marxism. Macklemore goes off on “free Palestine” speech when opening up for Ed Sheeran. Dana reacts to the best highlights from night 1 of the GOP's Midterm political convention in Dallas. Trump says he will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States for $5000 from “our tremendous economic success”.

This week on O'Connor & Company, we're marking a somber anniversary - 25 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks. But amidst the reflections on that fateful day, the conversation takes a sharp turn into the present, tackling the pressing issues of our time. From the rise of socialism in America to the growing threat of Islamist ideology, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the state of our nation. We delve into the complexities of the 9/11 anniversary, discussing the lessons we've learned from that pivotal moment in history. We're also joined by Cal Thomas, a syndicated columnist, who shares his personal experience of the attacks and offers a candid assessment of the current state of the Republican Party. Meanwhile, Mike Gonzalez of the Heritage Foundation weighs in on the controversy surrounding the Smithsonian's woke-ification and the need to reclaim American heritage. As the conversation unfolds, we're reminded that the threat of terrorism hasn't disappeared, but has evolved into a more insidious form. Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council, shares his expertise on the Red-Green Alliance and the dangers of Islamist ideology. We also explore the growing concern about the infiltration of Islamist ideology in the US, particularly in areas like Michigan and Texas. In this episode, we're also joined by Congressman Andy Harris, who discusses the battle over redistricting in Maryland and the state of the Republican Party. Additionally, Nick Freitas, a Green Beret combat veteran and former Virginia delegate, shares his insights on the rise of socialism in America and the need for a more nuanced understanding of the threat posed by Islamist ideology. With so much at stake, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in staying informed about the issues that matter most.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we bring the best of on Labor Day. A counter push has started against Luddites who want to prevent industrial and technological progress by banning data centers. Yes, there are legitimate concerns and there will be some little inconveniences, but a flat ban would set America back decades while the enemy moves forward. Also, the Supreme Court, by a 5-4 majority, told a lower court to back off trying to stop President Trump's new White House ballroom. The majority said the plaintiff didn't have standing to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the minority - if it were up to him, he would destroy separation of powers. How does it affect Congress' powers if the President raises private funds for the White House? Then, imams of a Shia Muslim mosque in Dearborn, Michigan pledged its allegiance to the Islamic regime in Iran, calling the U.S. a nation of "devil-worshipers." Most of these mosques in Dearborn are raising future Islamists. The indoctrination of young kids is a poison that spreads into the wider culture. Why do these radical Islamist imams use the language of class warfare and violence? Ali Khamenei told them to use Marxist language and propaganda in the West. Marxism is attractive to Western liberals. Meanwhile, national conservatism is a form of older paleo conservatism and such isms are not new - like Theodore Roosevelt's progressive nationalism and Huey Long who rebranded fascism as anti-fascism. This echoes Orwell's remark that every government, even communist ones, claims to be a democracy. Words have meanings that politicians often confuse and contort, and conservatives and Republicans should not abandon one of the greatest periods of conservatism and Republicanism in the 80's, just as they should not abandon Trump. Later, certain infrastructure, including Kharg island, must be taken out and the Iranian people armed. Even if the regime's leaders lack money, they remain like World War II Japanese kamikazes: religious zealots who treated the Emperor as God on earth, prayed, fought, and lived for him—the product of nationalism. The Iranian regime will not surrender for its people's good or because its military is defeated, and any document or negotiation it signs is merely an ends-justifies-the-means tactic. The regime must therefore be obliterated and eliminated. The only real way to overthrow it is from within; the President has created the conditions for that, but unless further steps are taken the concern remains that collapse could simply produce another such regime. Afterward, the media portrayed Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, as a peaceful “boy scout” exercising free speech and advocating for Palestinian rights, but a 100-page investigation documents a previously unseen record of support for terrorists, terrorist organizations, and armed violence. The report unearths statements in which Mahdawi promised to “annihilate the Jews,” praised Hamas, honored dead terrorists, and bragged that Palestinians have the capacity and conviction to resist, kill, and wound; similar violence-tinged postings continued as recently as 2024 while he was on U.S. soil.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, postpartum trauma and mental-health struggles many women experience are real, along with flaws in the healthcare system and medication, yet most mothers do not execute their children as Lindsay Clancy did. At a minimum manslaughter would have been appropriate rather than the near-acquittal that 11 of 12 jurors favored. After a long trial and deliberations the case ended in mistrial when one hero male juror refused to acquit; the defense has since attacked that juror, which is outrageous. Also, the Democrats are always focusing on Israel and Bejamin Netanyahu—a small elected ally that does not seek to kill Americans or sponsor terrorism—with the lack of attention to actual enemies such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar's role in 9/11, Egypt as home of the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Islamist dictatorships that have killed U.S. citizens. The claims of genocide and starvation in Gaza have been repeatedly disproven even by hostile international bodies including the UN, with children now described as well-nourished, yet podcasters have neither retracted nor apologized for the repeated lies. Later, the jobs report cited a record number of jobs created—nearly three times what experts predicted—with manufacturing adding 16,000 positions last month and standing 58,000 above its December low, driven in part by demand for data-center equipment plus investments in drug manufacturing, defense production, and semiconductor plants. Data centers offer a massive upside for states, counties, and towns. The President is fully committed and ahead of the curve, matching or exceeding efforts by China, Israel, and India. Sen Bernie Sanders seeks a nationwide ban, attacking the capitalism that produces these jobs because it undercuts his Marxist ideology. Finally, Rep Byron Donalds calls in with an update on his campaign for Governor of Florida.  There is a lot of energy in Florida, but the outcome in 60 days depends on voters turning out to keep the free state of Florida under Republican control. Donalds explains that his opponent David Jolly is a Trojan horse for Democrat socialists in the mold of Abigail Spanberger, who stayed quiet on the trail then governed as a radical.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, do you use TikTok, Instagram, X, or any social media? What about a computer? Laptop? iPhone? Smart TV? Have you seen a doctor or been to a hospital? Have you driven a car? Taken an airplane? Use email? Congratulations! You use AI! And in order to use AI, you need data centers. Amazing how quickly people fall for lies about data centers. It's the pandemic and fracking all over again. Luddites who don't believe in industrial progress tell people they'll lose their jobs, but data centers will create jobs you've never even heard of. If we want to keep pace with adversaries like China, we'd better ignore the Luddites and pandering politicians and go all in on industrial progress. Meanwhile, a counter-push has started against Luddites who want to prevent industrial and technological progress by banning data centers. Yes there are legitimate concerns and there will be some little inconveniences, but a flat ban would set America back decades while the enemy moves forward. Also, the Supreme Court, by a 5-4 majority, told a lower court to back off trying to stop President Trump's new White House ballroom. The majority said the plaintiff didn't have standing to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the minority - if it were up to him, he would destroy separation of powers. How does it affect Congress' powers if the President raises private funds for the White House?

Most of these mosques in Dearborn are raising future Islamic terrorists. The indoctrination of young kids is a poison that spreads into the wider culture. Why do these radical Islamist imams use the language of class warfare and violence? Ali Khamenei, told them to use Marxist language and propaganda in the West. Marxism is attractive to Western liberals. Later, arm the Iranian people, the time is now. The Reagan Doctrine worked. Let us not be risk averse in the middle of a war when we seek victory and thousands of Iranian people have been and are being slaughtered. We can't predict everything in a war; if we are not going to arm the Iranian people, then let's ask the Israelis to do so. They are likely less risk averse, and their Mossad certainly has a good handle on who is who there. The Socialists, Marxists, and Islamists condemn America, its founding, and the Constitution. Any Democrat or DSA candidate who has stated they cannot abide the Constitution or seek to fundamentally alter it without amending it must not be seated in the next Congress, a position which is compelled by the Constitution itself. Article 6, Clause 3 requires senators, representatives, and other officers to be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution; they cannot be seated until they take that oath, which is a requirement of serving rather than a ceremonial act. Ryan Reynolds is an irrelevant actor who called the 1980s a “brutal time,” a “fu*king mess” of sociopolitical tension. The 1980's were a spectacular era of economic growth, restored American superpower status, Reagan's defeat of the Soviet Union and eight years of great Americanism. Hatred of the 1980s is really hatred of Reagan and Republicans; those who reject its economics in favor of 1930s-style big-government programs (New Deal through Biden) or who recast activist government as a new national-conservative idea are recycling old liberal-Republican/RINO thinking.

A quarter century after the September 11 attacks emboldened then-President George W. Bush to launch the “war on terror,” many Americans might like to think they're wiser than the politicians and pundits who unleashed a flood of anti-Muslim hatred and eroded civil liberties through warrantless wiretaps and racist deportation campaigns.But some of the most notorious Bush-era advents — like the Department of Homeland Security and the prison colony at Guantánamo Bay — don't appear to be going anywhere. Nor does the phenomenon of Islamophobia, which is playing a major role in the current political cycle. Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed — who, if elected, would be the first Muslim U.S. senator — has been called a terrorist, a radical Islamist, and a threat to national security, as pro-corporate and pro-Israel super PACs spend millions on ads that paint him as a terrorist sympathizer. In New York City, meanwhile, local media has suggested that the city's first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, should not attend the commemoration of the World Trade Center attacks, as if to do so would be an insult to the victims and their families.“Islamophobia actually becomes more rampant during election season — not necessarily after a terrorist attack, but actually during election season in the U.S.,” journalist Rozina Ali tells The Intercept Briefing. “What's happened over the last three decades is that Islamophobia has become a feature of American politics. ... When you can't actually discuss the policies, when we're not willing to engage in facts, it's really easy to throw racist rhetoric at people.”“The fight that we're seeing now is whether we are willing to accept all forms of religion in this country. And as much as I want to say this is just more of what we've seen in the past, I think what does frighten me is how quickly we are moving to a place where some governor or some local official might try to outlaw Islam altogether. And mind you, this is even a policy shift from 10 years ago when Trump called for a Muslim ban,” says Ali. “What has been happening recently is that the rhetoric ... has been shifting toward, ‘Islam is not a religion, it's a political ideology.' This is not a new talking point, but it is becoming institutionalized. There are efforts to make it into law, which is a frightening place to be.”This week on the podcast, host Akela Lacy speaks to Ali about how anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies are on the rise and have endured, or even worsened, in the post-9/11 world, as well as her new book, “Seasons of Fury: Four Families and the Rise of Islamophobia in America.” Ali shares the first case in which the NSA admitted to spying on a U.S. citizen, Arab American attorney Abdeen Jabara, as well as the story of imam Yassin Aref, a victim of a controversial sting operation who served 15 years in federal prison due to the ambiguous “material support” for terrorism law first passed in the '90s. It was the same charge used to convict anti-ICE protesters at Prairieland Detention Center to decades in prison this year.“This was something lot of civil rights lawyers and activists were warning about even back then, because they recognized that this law and this war on terror can be used to attack dissidents and eventually will be used to attack a lot more people than the Muslim community. And that is what we're seeing now,” says Ali.“Because we've given so much power to the executive branch, because we've given so much power to the government over the last 25 years, the government gets to decide who they consider enemies, who they consider terrorists, and what they consider support for terrorism,” says Ali. “The Trump administration can say, ‘I now consider leftists terrorists,' and unfortunately, there are laws in the books that allow him to do that.”Full transcript: https://interc.pt/4zPINylKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.

Finally, Stacy Garrity calls in to discuss her run for Governor in Pennsylvania against Josh Shapiro. Shapiro appears to view himself as a lock for governor, but Garrity argues he has major weaknesses and is more focused on national ambitions than helping Pennsylvania families. Shapiro has never faced a serious opponent or a negative ad in over a decade, so voters still see him as a moderate when he is not. Learn more about your ad choices.
