Marc brings on Hans von Spakovsky from Heritage to cut through the media spin on Texas redistricting. While Democrats cry foul, Hans points out that Republicans are redrawing four districts only because a federal court ruled the original Democrat-pushed maps were unconstitutional racial gerrymanders. Marc and Hans torch the hypocrisy, citing states like Massachusetts and Connecticut where Republicans make up 35–40% of voters yet hold zero congressional seats thanks to Democrat gerrymandering. They also pivot to Trump's federal takeover of D.C., clarifying that while his unique authority there doesn't extend to other cities, he can still deploy ICE, FBI, and even the National Guard to crack down on lawlessness elsewhere. The two highlight how staged “anti-ICE” protests—like those inside Home Depot—expose the left's alliance with illegal hiring practices and professional protest machines.

Hour 2 kicks off with Marc noting the staggered return to school across St. Louis area districts, tying it into concerns over property taxes and potential caps, with Missouri Tax Relief Now set to provide guidance later in the show. The discussion pivots to national politics as Hans von Spakovsky joins to expose the hypocrisy of Democrats decrying gerrymandering while benefiting from it in multiple states, and to clarify the limits of federal intervention in cities like Washington D.C. versus other major cities. Marc then lightens the mood with his nasal spray addiction story before Nicole Murray delivers a concise business and market update, including stock movements, Air Canada labor issues, and tech fines. The hour wraps with “In Other News,” covering eye-popping sorority costs, a viral Falcons quarterback name typo, China's Humanoid Robot Games, Big Ten playoff proposals, and a study showing fewer young adults pursuing traditional milestones like marriage and homeownership.

On January 20th, 2025, President Trump established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by executive order. DOGE and its head, Elon Musk, hope to reduce the size and inefficiencies of the administrative state and return the federal bureaucracy to being accountable to the President and, ultimately, the people. While the scope and extent of this mission are still to be determined, one of DOGE’s early endeavors is to dramatically reduce the number of civil service employees determined to be unnecessary or wasteful. While many are vocal in their support of these actions, they are not without pushback, including several legal challenges. What is DOGE, and are its structure and actions legal? Where does the power to remove civil servants rest? Are there limits to that power? What impacts will their removals have on the Executive Branch? Featuring: Ms. Kristine I.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Gov Ron DeSantis is enforcing immigration law! He announces that Alligator Alcatraz is now deporting illegal immigrants, and the Democrats hate it. Also, President Trump's advisors are mistaken in claiming blanket absolute immunity under the Supreme Court's Presidential immunity ruling. The decision provides absolute immunity for core presidential duties but only presumptive immunity for peripheral ones, which can be rebutted if actions fall outside legitimate responsibilities. Yes, Barack Obama can be investigated for the Russia collusion hoax. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in to explain that Senate Republicans are perpetuating a tactic originated by former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in 2007, using "pro forma" sessions—brief, token meetings every three days during congressional breaks—to prevent the Senate from entering a true recess. This blocks Trump from making recess appointments under the Constitution, leading to significant delays: only 86 nominees confirmed six months into his term, with 256 still pending and no U.S. attorneys approved, forcing reliance on acting officials. What are the Republicans doing?! There is no defense for this.  Afterward, Israel is supplying food, medicine, and necessities, but these are being held up by Hamas, which is desperate to survive. Hamas steals food, tries to starve the Gazans, then blames Israel, and the media runs with it. Hamas also hoards aid in tunnels, kills Palestinians attempting to access it, collaborates with the UN and UNRWA to control distribution, and sells portions to fund arms purchases from Egypt.

Marc and Kim bring on Hans von Spakovsky to cut through the misinformation on immigration enforcement. Hans points out Republicans back the Biden administration's aggressive deportation of violent criminals, despite the messy optics.

Hans breaks down the sharp distinction between legal and illegal immigration, reminding listeners the U.S. welcomes more legal immigrants than any other country. The conversation shifts to skepticism around the Epstein grand jury leaks, warning of libel risks without concrete evidence. Finally, Hans confirms what many suspected: the Obama administration, alongside Hillary Clinton, actively schemed to sabotage Trump's presidency before he even took office. A must-listen deep dive into the swamp's ongoing battles.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, you are hearing it in the leftwing press, in the Never-Trump editorial pages and more - you cannot and must not deport anyone without some kind of notice and due process. Yet, there's nothing from these people on how this is supposed to actually work. What kind of due process are they talking about? The kind of due process that applies to citizens? If not, then what lower standard suffices as constitutional due process? Exactly how would due process, of any kind, be administered to millions and millions of illegal immigrants? We don't have enough courts of any kind in our country to handle the tsunami of cases that would be involved. This was all intentional. The border was opened to anyone. This is the Cloward-Pivens strategy: flood the system, overwhelm the system, break the system, and in doing so achieve your goals. Effectively, this is massive amnesty. Also, it seems these Federal judges are trying to stop mass deportation efforts and disrupt the Trump administration's response to Biden's mass immigration policies. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in and explains that he was stunned by Judge Boasberg's order because he's blatantly defying the Supreme Court. Boasberg's order was void from the moment he signed it. So how can he hold the Trump administration in contempt? Either Boasberg is incompetent or he's deliberately ignoring the Supreme Court. Afterward, Jonathan Turley calls in to discuss the criminal referral against NY AG Letitia James. James claims ​that ​her ​Virginia ​home ​was ​her ​principal ​residence. ​That ​was ​not ​and ​cannot ​be ​true ​because ​she was and still ​is ​an ​official ​of ​the ​New ​York ​government ​who ​must ​live ​within ​the ​state. What's ​notable ​about ​her ​false ​statements ​is ​that ​each ​one ​​worked ​towards ​a ​better mortgage ​rate. ​ Then, the Declaration of Independence discusses natural law and natural rights. Where do these concepts originate? They are influenced by John Locke and Montesquieu, but not entirely, as they ultimately come from God. When they say the people are sovereign, that ide comes from God. This is why the government can never be sovereign. The United States is first county on earth to be founded on these principles. Finally, Heritage President, Kevin Roberts, calls in to discuss the organization's impactful projects and ongoing efforts to revitalize federalism in America. Roberts shares insights on the current political landscape, the significance of state legislative work, and the importance of maintaining a conservative agenda while addressing challenges such as tariffs and international relations.
