Marc welcomes legal analyst Hans von Spakovsky from Advancing American Freedom to break down the Fifth Circuit's ruling allowing illegal immigrants to be detained without bond — a major win for Trump's immigration agenda.

They discuss anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis and the legal grounds for arresting them for blocking federal operations. The conversation shifts to the Epstein case, where Hans warns that unredacted DOJ documents viewed by Reps. Massey and Khanna must protect victims' privacy and may not yield new criminal evidence.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, a three-judge panel issued a 160-page order blocking Texas's new congressional redistricting plan, alleging it was unlawfully based on race rather than partisanship. In a scathing 104-page dissent, Judge Jerry Smith accused majority judges Jeffrey Vincent Brown and David Guaderrama of "pernicious judicial misbehavior" by denying him adequate time to review and respond, calling it the most outrageous judicial conduct he had encountered in 37 years. Smith argued the redistricting was driven by partisan gain, not racial animus, dismantling the majority's claims as deceptive, misleading, and factually erroneous. Hans von Spakovsky calls in to discuss this decision. Later, six Democratic members of Congress urged the U.S. military and national security personnel to reject and defy ‘illegal orders' from President Trump as commander-in-chief, which is an attempt to undermine the government, and overthrow the elected president. Trump has not issued unconstitutional or illegal orders and complies with court rulings. Their actions are disgusting and frightening. Also, Stephen A Smith calls in and addresses Michelle Obama saying men aren't ready to have a woman president. He also criticizes Democrats for the 43-day government shutdown over Obamacare subsidies, highlighting unfulfilled promises on costs and doctor retention. Afterward, Sean Hannity calls in to discuss law and order on the streets of America. Finally, Gabe Kaminsky calls in and exposes Nick Fuentes' nonprofit (tax exempt) America First Foundation group which is revamping for the 2026 midterm elections to "infiltrate politics" by evaluating candidates, guiding voter decisions, and mapping the "patronage networks" of the "Israel First lobby."
