This week on the Mark Levin Show, Mark emphasized that books endure far beyond radio, podcasts, or TV. While he’s often discussed liberty, unalienable rights, and tyranny, he’s only touched on power indirectly. Now, he’s completed his latest book, On Power. This book is different than any other book Mark has written. On Power is an analysis of how power shapes history. Power is more than a word; it determines whether you are free or not. It’s a subject all of us deal with every day. It’s a matter that can be discussed psychologically, ideologically, and philosophically. Also, in On Power, there’s a stark contrast between America’s founding, rooted in a blend of faith and Enlightenment ideals, and the centralized control sought by political Islam, as highlighted by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformist. Jasser argues that Islamism, unlike the Judeo-Christian principles shaping America’s Constitution, rejects individual liberty and enforces a monolithic faith, often tied to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic agendas, as seen in groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. On Power examines the concept of power, its manipulation by politicians, media, and ideologues, and its impact on individuals and society. It aims to provoke a deeper understanding and dialogue about power's application, hoping to serve as a source for liberty against tyranny. Also, Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of Americans. Their Crown Prince didn’t even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us, and the 9/11 families are probably reeling from this. And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people. The Supreme Court addressed a case involving President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. These national injunctions represent an unconstitutional overreach by federal district courts, lacking a historical or constitutional basis, and justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson are promoting a "deconstitutionalization" of government by justifying such injunctions as a means to force quick Supreme Court review.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. Former FBI Director James Comey faces backlash for threatening President Donald Trump, downplaying it as minor. If reversed, Trump critics would likely amplify the issue. Threatening a president, especially after multiple assassination attempts, is unprofessional and demands serious attention amid heightened tensions. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden invoked his late son to dodge questions and gain sympathy, revealing his apparent disregard for the nation, as seen throughout his presidency. The Robert Hur interview audio highlighted this. No action was taken against Biden for mishandling sensitive documents left in his garage, yet Trump faced efforts to disqualify his candidacy over securely stored documents from his prior term. The left and the media, aware of Biden’s cognitive limitations, concealed them but now admit he shouldn’t have run, backtracking and exposing their lack of transparency and trustworthiness.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the Supreme Court addressed a case involving President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. These national injunctions represent an unconstitutional overreach by federal district courts, lacking a historical or constitutional basis, and justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson are promoting a "deconstitutionalization" of government by justifying such injunctions as a means to force quick Supreme Court review. The judiciary's actions, particularly from activist judges, are a dangerous expansion of power that undermines the Constitution and executive authority, especially in critical areas like national security. The 14th Amendment was solely intended to grant citizenship to children of former slaves, not to children of foreigners, and that the current practice of birthright citizenship is a constitutional fiction unsupported by historical evidence. This case is fundamentally about power—specifically, who has the authority to make critical decisions. Activist federal district judges, backed by justices like Jackson and Amy Coney Barrett, are wielding negative power to overturn the last election and undermine the Constitution by endorsing these injunctions. Prediction: the Court, lacking courage, will likely uphold the status quo, citing long-standing executive branch practice and the potential burden on future children born in the U.S., thus perpetuating a misinterpretation of the Constitution that threatens American liberty. Later, Iran refuses to halt its centrifuge operations, which, if not destroyed, preserves its nuclear bomb program. Iran must never get a nuclear weapon. Over 200 Republicans agree and have called on President Trump to dismantle Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin, On Power examines the concept of power, its manipulation by politicians, media, and ideologues, and its impact on individuals and society. It aims to provoke a deeper understanding and dialogue about power's application, hoping to serve as a source for liberty against tyranny. Also, Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of Americans. Their Crown Prince didn’t even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us, and the 9/11 families are probably reeling from this. And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people. It’s great that we have a deal with Qatar, but they’ve also spent billions trying to destroy our colleges and universities. Afterward, most House and Senate Republicans signed two letters urging President Trump to reject any nuclear deal with Iran unless it fully dismantles its nuclear program. Later, Zuhdi Jasser calls in to explain that achieving peace requires the complete defeat of the Islamist death cult like Hamas. Western reluctance to confront this ideology head-on, due to fears of appearing Islamophobic, enables its spread and threatens global stability. The only decisive action against such extremism, rather than appeasement or half-measures, can secure a peaceful future. Finally, Sen Bernie Sanders advocates for a communist style national health care system, drawing from the 1936 Stalin Constitution. This raises questions about whether healthcare as a human right means unlimited access to any treatment, who controls doctors’ and nurses’ work hours, and if such a system could force doctors to provide care against their will.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump deserves great credit for the trillions of dollars he’s bringing into our country from foreign governments and overseas corporations! It’s absolutely unprecedented! Trump’s speech in Saudi Arabia included some of the lines used by the Soros-Koch isolationist crowd about neocons and interventionists, but the irony is that it was given in the context of a globalist outreach effort to make economic and military deals with and between Middle East monarchies/dictatorships and the biggest of America's globalists/internationalists/corporatists. Also, in On Power, there’s a stark contrast between America’s founding, rooted in a blend of faith and Enlightenment ideals, and the centralized control sought by political Islam, as highlighted by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformist. Jasser argues that Islamism, unlike the Judeo-Christian principles shaping America’s Constitution, rejects individual liberty and enforces a monolithic faith, often tied to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic agendas, as seen in groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. Drawing from Alexis de Tocqueville and Jasser’s insights, Mark explores how Islamists, inspired by figures like Sayyid Qutb, aim to dismantle Western society, viewed as ignorant of divine guidance, to impose a rigid “pure Islam.” This clash of ideologies, coupled with the deceptive language of tyrannies like Islamism and Marxism, underscores the battle for liberty and the soul of nations. Later, neocons, many of whom were former Jewish Democrats, left the Democratic Party and adopted a hawkish foreign policy stance. While many are no longer alive, today, some avoid blaming Jews for pushing war, instead pointing to neocons as the instigators. Opposing Iran's nuclear ambitions is patriotism, not neoconservatism, due to Iran's terrorist activities and history of violating agreements. Finally, Ken Hartman, Founder & President of Our Community Salutes, calls in to discuss his national nonprofit organization, which is dedicated to recognizing and supporting high school seniors who plan to enlist in the U.S. Armed Services after graduation. Their goal is to get 250,000 Americans to sign a thank you card to our nation’s newest enlistees in the military. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Mark emphasized that books endure far beyond radio, podcasts, or TV. While he’s often discussed liberty, unalienable rights, and tyranny, he’s only touched on power indirectly. Now, he’s completed his latest book, On Power. This book is different than any other book Mark has written. On Power is an analysis of how power shapes history. Power is more than a word; it determines whether you are free or not. It’s a subject all of us deal with every day. It’s a matter that can be discussed psychologically, ideologically, and philosophically. Also, Hamas must be destroyed, and Iran must be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons at all costs. These views are mainstream, not neo-con views. America must always be protected, and isolationists are a threat. We cannot allow nuclear proliferation. The release of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander by Hamas was positive, but Qatar’s dangerous regime uses oil money to fund terrorists and influence politicians. Qatar has been implicated in supporting anti-U.S. terrorist activities, including providing financial and logistical backing to groups like Hamas and the Taliban. Despite its public image as a U.S. ally, Qatar's actions, such as hosting terrorist leaders and funding extremist networks, undermine American interests. Later, pharmaceutical prices are higher in the U.S. because companies invest heavily in drug research and development. To recover costs, they charge more where patents originate. Other countries copy these drugs, selling them cheaper. U.S. companies aren't overcharging; they're being undercut by foreign replication. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Antisemitism is pervasive, fueled by foreign governments like Qatar allegedly spending billions to influence U.S. media, politics, and organizations. Foreign-driven boycotts or threats against U.S. businesses, particularly targeting Jews, are unacceptable, and congressional action to stop this is not a First Amendment issue. The IGO Anti-Boycott Act (H.R. 867) merely extends the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 signed by President Trump to international organizations. What causes antisemitism is antisemites. Qatar must stop pouring billions of dollars in blood money into our colleges and universities, and our other institutions, in a sleazy campaign to spread their anti-American fundamentalist ideology, brainwash our children, promote violent and riotous revolution in our country, and own our ruling class and its surrogates and mouthpieces. Later, Mark delves into the unfiltered thoughts of our host as he shares his unwavering stance on politics, loyalty, and the importance of truth. He emphasizes the need for unity among like-minded individuals to combat the threats facing our republic. With a passionate delivery, he discusses the perils of appeasement, the decline of journalism, and the significance of personal integrity. Iran’s “civilian” nuclear program, housed in bunkers 350 feet underground, is not normal. How many nations that have civilian use for nuclear power are we negotiating with? Only Iran. Iran is not interested in civil nuclear power. The reason we don’t want Iran to have nuclear weapons with ICBMs is because they keep threatening the U.S. The fifth-column isolationist ideology is a grave threat when they defend Iran. Also, Sen James Lankford has no idea what he’s talking about on due process, while an analyst on MSNBC gets it right. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has become the first American Pope in the history of the Catholic Church - Pope Leo XIV. Prevost's election reflects his close alignment with Pope Francis's vision on issues like the environment, poverty, and synodality. We’ll see what he does, but hopefully, he is more along the lines of John Paul II. His extensive missionary work in Peru and fluency in multiple languages were likely factors in his selection by the papal conclave. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing at a federal ICE detention facility he wants to close. He refused to leave when asked, showing politicians’ arrogance. Trespassing and refusing to leave leads to arrest, as nobody, including politicians, is above the law. Protesting inside a federal law enforcement center isn’t allowed, and while ICE enforces the law, Democrats claim they’re unrestrained by it. Interim U.S. Attorney for NJ Alina Habba calls in to explain exactly what happened with the arrest. This is federal property, and the laws can’t be broken, no matter who you are. Also, AG Letitia James dismisses the mortgage fraud allegations against her as unfounded, despite published forms and evidence suggesting criminal activity. Later, 15 states are suing over Trump’s order to speed up oil and gas projects. Most likely, a judge will block energy independence. It’s time for the Supreme Court to step up against these rogue judges. There might be a time when Americans defy the courts because they won't respect the rogue activity of these judges. If judges won't abide by the law, why should the people listen to their orders? This is all about sabotage and obstruction by these judges. Afterward, Trump is considering a plan to strengthen ties with Greenland by proposing a Compact of Free Association (COFA), similar to agreements with Pacific Island nations. This brilliant move aims to bring Greenland into America's sphere of influence. This is what a consequential president does. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has become the first American Pope in the history of the Catholic Church - Pope Leo XIV. Prevost's election reflects his close alignment with Pope Francis's vision on issues like the environment, poverty, and synodality. We’ll see what he does, but hopefully, he is more along the lines of John Paul II. His extensive missionary work in Peru and fluency in multiple languages were likely factors in his selection by the papal conclave. Later, President Trump’s deal with Britain really is a very big deal. It’s part of his strategy to open worldwide markets and create a more market-oriented global economy, which is why it is pro-capitalism and more free-market oriented. He imposed tariffs and reciprocity on other countries for leverage to force them to lower their tariffs and reduce foreign government subsidies of their businesses. Trump is creating the most open market system in modern world history. Afterward, Sen Tom Cotton calls in to explain that any new nuclear deal with Iran that does not involve the complete dismantlement of its nuclear program will not pass the Senate. Republicans agree with Trump that Iran needs to completely dismantle their program. Finally, Rishi Arun, president of Temple University's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), stated that it is their mission to destroy imperialism, the United States, and capitalism. Mohammed Khatib, from the designated terror organization Samidoun, said that liberating Palestine would be a step toward dismantling the United States. They seek the violent overthrow of America - they are at war with us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Iran’s “civilian” nuclear program, housed in bunkers 350 feet underground, is not normal. How many nations that have civilian use for nuclear power are we negotiating with? Only Iran. Iran is not interested in civil nuclear power. The reason we don’t want Iran to have nuclear weapons with ICBMs is because they keep threatening the U.S. The fifth-column isolationist ideology is a grave threat when they defend Iran. Also, Sen James Lankford has no idea what he’s talking about on due process, while an analyst on MSNBC gets it right. Concurrently, while judges are blocking Trump’s deportation of illegal aliens, another judge is ordering the administration to bring in illegal aliens. Have you ever heard of a judge ordering a president to allow aliens into America? If this isn’t fixed by the Supreme Court and/or Congress, then we live in a post-constitutional America. Later, the Democrats are out to destroy Sen John Fetterman, who’s turned out to be a moderate. He’s pro-America and pro-Israel, and that’s not acceptable in his party. Afterward, what’s going on in Florida right now is a disgrace, RINO’s are working to destroy the state. The Florida RINOs and corporatists, working with Democrats, are trying to turn Florida purple. Finally, Victoria Coates calls in to discuss her new book, The Battle For The Jewish State: How Israel—And America—Can Win. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, 2 days after the Houthis struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport with a ballistic missile and 4 days before negotiations with Iran - the Houthis surrendered. This seems odd. Then afterward the Houthis say they will continue to attack Israel, even after the ceasefire with the U.S. What’s going on? Have you noticed how much the fifth-column isolationists sound like Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the rest of the Squad? And not just on foreign policy and national security. They often use the same Marxist class warfare propaganda and the ACLU’s extremist misinterpretation of our Constitution including the 1st amendment. Also, we know that Democrats goal to transform the population through immigration to undermine and dismantle the existing societal structure. The Constitution doesn't grant due process to everyone, and the Supreme Court lacks clarity on its meaning. Democrats want to extend full due process to 21 million illegal aliens, which is not possible due to limited courts and judges. This is a strategy to allow illegal aliens to come in, then keep them here by arguing due process. If they succeed the country is dead. Later, Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports are causing economic disruption in China, leading to protests as workers demand unpaid wages. This is positive but the Trump administration should hold off on negotiations right now, they should slow walk it. The tariffs are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do.

Foreign-driven boycotts or threats against U.S. businesses, particularly targeting Jews, are unacceptable, and congressional action to stop this is not a First Amendment issue.

Qatar must stop pouring billions of dollars in blood money into our colleges and universities, and our other institutions, in a sleazy campaign to spread their anti-American fundamentalist ideology, brainwash our children, promote violent and riotous revolution in our country, and own our ruling class and its surrogates and mouthpieces. Rep Mike Lawler calls in to clear the air about the misinformation surrounding the IGO Anti-Boycott Act. This legislation, which aims to prevent foreign governments and intergovernmental organizations from coercing American businesses into supporting boycotts against U.S. allies, particularly in light of the BDS movement against Israel. Also, Iran’s potential nuclear capabilities pose a significant threat to U.S. national security. However, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appears unconcerned about Iran acquiring nuclear materials. In contrast, former President Trump is working to prevent this outcome. Supporting Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons is not a populist stance. Later, NPR and PBS are very upset that Trump wants to cut its funding. We don’t need government TV and radio; the private sector will fill any void by their absence. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. Don’t play the left’s fear game – President Trump will not fail you on the economy. Some people were panicking after Trump’s Liberation Day, but you need to trust the process and stay calm. Ask yourself: Do you believe in this country? Do you believe the country will be better off by the end of Trump’s presidency? If you answer yes to both, the current challenges are easier to navigate. This is a temporary situation. The left complains that shelves will be empty, yet we have more inventory today than a year ago. Trump’s Great Reset is underway, fundamentally reshaping how America and trade operate. We ended this week, a month removed from Liberation Day, and the S&P traded higher than prior to the tariff announcements. The stock market is on a winning streak and now China wants to work on a trade deal. Also, Trump’s next 100 days will define the Trump presidency. Trump is compressing four years of action into four months. The results will unfold over the next 100 days, revealing how America is being made great again. Trump’s big, beautiful bill is the most important thing to get passed. It encapsulates his entire agenda in one package. Getting a permanent policy in place is critical. Finally, Pope Francis’ passing is an inflection point for Christianity and the world. Pope Francis advocated for the left’s social constructs. There’s no room for progressivism in Catholicism. God’s word and work doesn’t change, progressivism does. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. President Trump nominated former National Security Adviser Mike Waltz as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Waltz began the day as NSA, but the sudden nomination raises questions about whether it was planned or a reaction to an event. The move might be tied to the March Signal app incident, though if part of a broader strategy, naming Secretary of State Marco Rubio as interim NSA seems unusual. Either way, with Senate confirmation looming, Republicans must stand firm to ensure Waltz’s appointment to the UN. Also, despite what the media is saying, the economy had a great first quarter. The Democrats are trying everything they can to scare you; all they have is fear. The only thing that led to a negative GDP number was imports. Later, the left’s plan for Trump was always lawfare, but Trump knows how to play their lawfare game now. Trump won most of the nationwide injunctions the first time around and he’s learned all the lessons. Finally, in St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School v. Drummond, the Supreme Court considered whether the proposed Catholic virtual charter school in Oklahoma could operate as the nation’s first publicly funded religious charter school. The Supreme Court must rule in favor of this charter school. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson of the Ben Ferguson podcast fills in for Mark. Do you believe that Iran should be able to have nuclear weapons? Iran’s Supreme Leader said, "Death to America is not a slogan; it’s a policy." When Iran tells you they want to wipe America off the face of the Earth - we should believe them. Mark Levin weighed in stating: “No nukes for Iran! These are genocidal maniacs! It’s a terrorist regime! More important that we protect our country from their nuclear bombs than we protect their nuclear sites from our bombs! There are no second chances.” President Trump has stated many times that he’ll make sure Iran doesn’t get any nukes. Meanwhile, the United States and Ukraine signed the long-awaited mineral deal. This is a massive win for Trump, the American taxpayer and Ukraine. Later, the Democrat party is dead, it’s now a party controlled by Marxists and Socialists. In other countries run by Socialists, legal systems often turn into kangaroo courts. We’re witnessing this now with activist judges, showing how many Marxists have worked their way into the system. This might be the biggest threat to democracy. When activist judges act outside the scope of the law, it demonstrates how dangerous this can be to our freedoms. These judges believe they should be able to override what the people voted for. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. These first 100 days of the Trump Administration have been the most consequential of any president since World War II. We join President Trump live for his first rally of his second term in Warren, Michigan. Trump’s second term has launched at a blistering pace, surpassing his first 100 days with a speed that feels like Trump 3.0—three times faster. Trump makes everyday count as he restores order, starting with securing the southern border and ushering in a new golden age for America. Our streets are safer now than 100 days ago. Also, fears of inflation and tariffs are overblown. Life is more affordable now than when Trump took office, with DOGE saving the average taxpayer $993.79. Later, in Florida, ICE’s largest operation yet led to nearly 800 illegal alien arrests, showcasing the impact of a state and Governor aligned with Trump’s agenda. Governor DeSantis’ new law embedding ICE in law enforcement is proving effective and could be a model for every state. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson of the Ben Ferguson podcast fills in for Mark. In his second term, President Trump, 99 days in, focuses on "Promises Made, Promises Kept," prioritizing border security. Illegal border encounters dropped 95%, and "gotaways" fell 99%, fulfilling his pledge to close the border. The California-Mexico border is nearly empty. Trump displayed mugshots of illegal immigrants on White House lawn signs, prompting an MSNBC reporter to claim the press was under attack. The media were involved in the Biden illegal alien coverup and now they claim to be upset about separating illegal immigrant families. Separating families happens every day in our court system and the media’s not upset about that. This is all fake outrage. Meanwhile, Axios’ Alex Thompson said that the media, including himself, should have done a better job of reporting on Biden’s decline. They were part of the coverup and now they're trying to rewrite history. Also, AG Pam Bondi revealed that a DEA raid on an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs resulted in the arrest of 114 illegal immigrants, with the club linked to drug trafficking, prostitution, and violent crimes. The Trump administration has been monitoring the club after learning that the Biden administration ignored 170 calls to 911 to that club. Biden never had any intent on stopping any of this. Biden’s open border was all done by design to control the country by mass immigration. Later, Democrats, led by Rep. Shri Thanedar, continued pursuing Trump's impeachment with seven articles against Trump. The Democrats will never stop. Finally, Trump plans to sign an executive order requiring truck drivers in the U.S. to pass English literacy tests to ensure they can read traffic signs and communicate effectively with officials, addressing safety concerns due to communication issues. This is about public safety and the Democrats claim it’s racist. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
This week on the Mark Levin Show, the passing of Pope Francis is deeply saddening for Catholics and non-Catholics, following his recent meeting with J.D. Vance and Easter ceremonies. The papacy holds immense significance, with Pope John Paul II widely revered as an influential modern leader and freedom fighter who played a key role in the Soviet Union's downfall. Afterward, we could be on the precipice of Iran developing a nuclear warhead with an ICMB aimed at America if things don’t turn out right in the Iranian negotiations. If there is to be some kind of deal it would have to ensure that inspectors from the U.S., or the E.U actually get to inspect anywhere at any time but it’s doubtful Iran would permit that. Pete Hegseth is a terrific Secretary of Defense; the attacks on him are designed to block President Trump's foreign policy. The isolationists are not supportive of Trump's pro-American foreign policy. They are Soros-Koch ideologues, and so are their podcast/influencer mouthpieces. These isolationists have come up with nothing new about foreign policy, recycling George McGovern’s outdated views while acting as modern-day Tokyo Roses. Elon Musk, once aligned with the left, has become a patriot and hero. From the moment he purchased and exposed Twitter, he became a target of the media and the left. Musk’s efforts to uncover hundreds of billions in government waste, fraud, and abuse, have cost him millions and hurt Tesla. Alongside President Trump, Musk risked everything for America. This moment right now is critical for slashing government spending, a unique opportunity driven by Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). It’s frustrating that these leftwing federal judges are reversing President Trump’s decisions, effectively trying to run the government from their courtrooms, which is not our constitutional system. Specifically, a judge blocked Trump’s requirement for proof of citizenship on voter registration forms. These judges are doing the dirty work for the Democrat Party. This judge is helping the Democrats by taking the fraud barriers out of Trump’s order. We cannot have a country where unelected judges undermine the nation. In the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency, we are witnessing an aggressive, rogue judiciary. There may come a time when the only response is to refuse compliance with court orders, one courtroom after another. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, in Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested for allegedly obstructing law enforcement by helping an illegal immigrant escape from ICE. Similarly, in New Mexico, former Judge Joel Cano was arrested for harboring an alleged illegal immigrant tied to TDA. The Democrats and their media argue these arrests highlight an overreaching Trump administration, but the Judges’ actions were illegal, not the administration’s response. Judges are not above the law. It’s absurd that Democrats frame the arrests, rather than the judges’ crimes, as the issue. The Democrat Party is an evil party. Also, Iran is unlikely to honor any negotiated deal, as they have historically failed to uphold agreements, especially after changes in U.S. leadership, such as when Trump leaves office. Some argue Iran has a right to domestic nuclear power. However, the U.S. is not negotiating with other nations that possess domestic nuclear power. The idea that Israel would drag us into war with Iran is ridiculous. Later, the efforts by the left and isolationists (Soros-Koch) to take out Pete Hegseth and Mike Waltz, and the anti-Trump media joined by Iranian special pleaders is a grave disservice to Trump and intended to undermine him. Finally, Rep Hakeem Jeffries boasted about blocking efforts to ensure only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections. Why are all Democrats opposed to proving you’re a citizen to vote?

Also, Harvard’s President Alan Garber is pretending to combat antisemitism at Harvard, but the university does not take the issue seriously. These colleges and universities need to be defunded. They have no inherent right to taxpayer money; it is a privilege. If they want public funds, they must conduct themselves honorably. Later, Russia is relentlessly attacking Ukraine, with Putin aiming to conquer it as a step toward Poland. Ukraine's biggest mistake was giving up its nuclear weapons, and the Biden administration's withholding of weapons to punish Russia was a significant error in the war. Meanwhile, Iran's former official, Mohammad-Javad Larijani, say they are reluctantly joining U.S. talks, criticizing American negotiators and Trump. Despite this, negotiations continue, though Iran is unlikely to honor agreements, potentially only complying under Trump but not his successor. Learn more about your ad choices.

In the latest episode of Liberty and Learning, Mark Levin engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Dr. Larry Arnn, the president of Hillsdale College. Together, they explore the profound significance of the Declaration of Independence, a document that not only marked a pivotal moment in American history but also established universal principles that continue to resonate today. Dr. Arnn articulates the necessity of the Declaration's opening statement, "When in the course of human events," emphasizing its universal applicability. This phrase sets the stage for a document that seeks to justify the colonies' separation from British rule by appealing to higher principles of natural law and rights. As they dissect the language and intent behind the Declaration, listeners are invited to reflect on the foundational values that shaped the nation. One of the key themes of this episode is the contrast between the principles enshrined in the Declaration and the ideologies of modern progressivism. Dr. Arnn argues that many contemporary critics of the Declaration, including figures like Woodrow Wilson, reject its timeless truths in favor of a more authoritarian approach to governance. This rejection, he asserts, undermines the very essence of what it means to be governed by consent. Levin and Arnn delve into the connection between the Declaration and the Constitution, illustrating how the latter was designed to uphold the principles established in the former. They discuss the importance of consent in governance and how the founding fathers were acutely aware of the need to limit their own powers to prevent tyranny. This historical context is essential for understanding the ongoing relevance of the Declaration in today's political discourse. Listeners are encouraged to engage with the ideas presented in this episode, particularly as the 250th anniversary of the Declaration approaches. Dr. Arnn suggests that reading the Declaration regularly can deepen one's understanding of its significance and the principles of liberty it embodies. For anyone interested in American history, political philosophy, or the enduring legacy of the Declaration of Independence, this episode offers a rich exploration of ideas that are as relevant today as they were in 1776. Tune in to Liberty and Learning for this enlightening conversation that challenges listeners to consider the principles that underpin our government and society.

Also, some conservatives keep saying that the Democrat Party is dead. Most people who say this have no idea what they’re talking about. Democrats and Marxists aren’t dead—they’re just retooling and regrouping. This is a dangerous, even evil party, and you don’t turn your back on them. Saying they’re finished is an excuse not to decisively defeat them. If Democrats take one or both houses of Congress, you’ll see they’re far from dead—their attacks will be relentless. They will undermine Trump’s entire agenda. Later, Sen Ron Johnson has said he wants hearings on what happened on 9/11. Here's what happened: Islamist terrorists attacked us, flew planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, and a fourth plane crashed in central Pennsylvania because heroes rushed the cabin. And now, Islamist terrorists in Iran are building a nuclear weapon while threatening to destroy us and Qatar is funding terrorists like Hamas and front groups in our country. Afterward, Landmark Legal Foundation filed a brief with the appellate court to prevent further contempt proceedings by Judge James Boasberg. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, Pete Hegseth is a terrific Secretary of Defense; the attacks on him are designed to block President Trump's foreign policy. The isolationists are not supportive of Trump's pro-American foreign policy. They are Soros-Koch ideologues, and so are their podcast/influencer mouthpieces. These isolationists have come up with nothing new about foreign policy, recycling George McGovern’s outdated views while acting as modern-day Tokyo Roses. Iran’s ultimate goal is the United States and these isolationists are undermining this administration. Also, Japan's navy has unveiled a ship-mounted electromagnetic railgun designed to counter China's hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Beam, a 100-kilowatt high-energy laser air defense system is set for operational deployment by late 2025. Designed to complement the Iron Dome, it intercepts short-range threats like rockets, drones, and mortars. Later, how can due process be provided to 21 million illegal aliens when immigration courts are already swamped with a 1.5 million case backlog? What degree of due process is realistic, and which branch of government handles it? When Biden and the Democrats embraced open-border policies, they had no clear strategy for due process or deportation—just a push for de facto amnesty. Afterward, Mark reflects on the profound significance of the March for Life in Poland, as well as the haunting memories of the Holocaust. Finally, Josh Hammer calls in to discuss the absurdity of a debate on whether Iran should get nuclear weapons or not. Hammer shares a compelling story from a college conservative leadership conference, highlighting the stark differences in perspectives on freedom and allegiance between American and Iranian students.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the passing of Pope Francis is deeply saddening for Catholics and non-Catholics, following his recent meeting with J.D. Vance and Easter ceremonies. The papacy holds immense significance, with Pope John Paul II widely revered as an influential modern leader and freedom fighter who played a key role in the Soviet Union's downfall. Afterward, we could be on the precipice of Iran developing a nuclear warhead with an ICMB aimed at America if things don’t turn out right in the Iranian negotiations. If there is to be some kind of deal it would have to ensure that inspectors from the U.S., or the E.U actually get to inspect anywhere at any time but it’s doubtful Iran would permit that. President Obama led Iran’s path to a nuke, President Biden helped fund and protect Iran, and it will be left to President Trump to say that's enough. We are looking terrorists in the eye who are threatening tens of millions of us with death as they are developing nuclear weapons and are within weeks of succeeding. Is there any generation of Americans before us that would not have dealt a deadly blow to such an enemy before they could destroy us? Will we be the first? It's not as if this is the imagination of the "warmongers" run amok. And how insane are those who demand that we essentially ignore this threat or appease it in some fashion? Later, the media’s fixation on Abrego Garcia is sickening. He received due process before an immigration law judge and a board, was ordered deported, but evaded authorities. The Democrats’ support for Garcia reveals their hypocrisy. Their latest cause célèbre is an MS-13-affiliated domestic abuser who was already granted due process. Also, Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, dissented in the Supreme Court's midnight order in A.A.R.P. v. Trump, which blocked the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, arguing the decision was hasty, premature, and lacked clear jurisdiction. When the Supreme Court brazenly violates its own precedent and, indeed, a federal statute as it did Saturday morning, can that order be ignored? What would the Framers say? All this talk about the administration not complying with this or that court, here we have the High Court violating process and the law and apparently, there is no recourse. Why aren't the TV lawyers jumping up and down about this? The reason is they have no problem with judicial tyranny. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
This week on the Mark Levin Show, Federal District Judges lack the authority to mandate the return of deported individuals to the United States. This power is beyond their jurisdiction, and there is no desire to allow illegal criminals back into the country. The demands of these radical judges are considered preposterous and out of line. Democrat-appointed judges want to continue pushing for due process for illegal aliens who are being sent back to their countries. These are people who violated our laws; they are not being deported because of their race. Democrats often use the race card to sway voters or start racial issues that have nothing to do with race. Judges appointed by Sen Chuck Schumer defend these illegal aliens, who never even come to court to address their illegal status. 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? A memorandum signed between Ukraine and the United States, marking a significant step towards a partnership in mineral development. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, amid numerous threats from abroad and pressing domestic issues, it’s outrageous that the media is fixated on Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant, documented wife-beater, and alleged MS-13 gang member. Garcia has been ruled deportable by immigration courts and the Department of Homeland Security due to his gang ties and illegal status. Despite clear evidence, the media ignores his criminality, and Democrats defend him. The ruling class protects Garcia while criticizing President Trump, yet it ignores Biden’s defiance of Supreme Court orders on student loans. Also, the 14th Amendment does not provide for birthright citizenship, contrary to media claims, and its authors never intended it to include such a right. At no time did the authors of the 14th Amendment ever mention birthright citizenship. For 40 years AFTER the ratification of the 14th Amendment no court had ruled, and no Congress had argued that there was something called birthright citizenship. Later, the Capital Research Center's report, "When Charities Betray America," examines how certain "pro-Palestinian" groups, specifically Within Our Lifetime (WOL), Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), and Code Pink, have increasingly promoted anti-American and anti-police rhetoric since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Analyzing thousands of social media posts, the study found a 3,000% surge in calls for violence and a 186% increase in anti-American and anti-police keywords among 496 groups and activists, many tied to nonprofits or charities. Finally, Jim Trusty calls in to explain that the DOJ’s decision to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, which raises complex legal issues, including federal jurisdiction over a traditionally state-handled crime.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, Phoenix Eichner, a 20-year-old Florida State University student and son of a Leon County sheriff’s deputy, opened fire near the Student Union on the FSU campus in Tallahassee, killing two people and injuring six others. The media's response to this is so predictable. They focus on gun control but ignore other amendments, while advocating for due process for illegal immigrants. Not all violent deaths, like stabbings, involve guns, yet the media emphasizes the Second Amendment. This shooting, where the shooter’s mother is a deputy with necessary gun access, is unrelated to gun control. The media should clarify which amendments they prioritize and why. Also, Islamists follow a purist ideology that prioritizes the afterlife and seeks to eliminate barriers to pure Islam, including less devout Muslims and non-believers. The 9/11 attacks, led by Osama bin Laden, exemplified this ideology, as does the Muslim Brotherhood. Traditional deterrents fail against this mindset, which values the next life over the present, making Iran’s potential nuclear weapons a serious concern. Allowing a country that chants "Death to America" to develop and potentially use nuclear weapons is not noble. Later, Mark announced that President Trump had appointed him to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, which is a great honor. Those appointed to this board want nothing to do with open borders. Afterward, the Supreme Court will review Trump’s plan to restrict birthright citizenship, which lacks a basis in the 14th Amendment. One possible solution the court could agree on is ending birthright citizenship from a set date, grandfathering prior cases. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In this enlightening episode, Mark Levin and Dr. Larry Arnn take listeners on a journey through the events that led to the Revolutionary War, marking a significant moment as they approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The discussion begins with an exploration of the philosophical roots of natural law and rights, emphasizing the importance of understanding where these concepts originated. Dr. Arnn highlights the early American settlements, explaining how the British colonies were unique in their establishment, with families arriving to create communities based on shared beliefs and practices. This foundation laid the groundwork for a society that would eventually seek independence. The friction between the colonies and Britain intensified after the French and Indian War, as Britain sought to impose regulations and taxes on the colonies, leading to a growing sense of autonomy among the settlers. The episode also delves into the key figures and events that shaped this revolutionary period. From the signing of the Mayflower Compact to the battles of Lexington and Concord, the narrative illustrates how the colonists' desire for self-governance clashed with British authority. The discussions surrounding the Declaration of Independence reveal its dual nature as both a philosophical document and a legislative act that founded a new nation. Listeners are encouraged to appreciate the significance of the Declaration and the ideas that drove the American Revolution. As Dr. Arnn eloquently states, the founding principles of America were unique and revolutionary, establishing a nation based on the rights of individuals rather than the rule of aristocracy. This episode serves not only as a historical recount but also as a reminder of the importance of understanding our roots as a nation. The stakes were incredibly high for those who signed the Declaration, and the discussion emphasizes the courage and conviction required to break away from British rule. In conclusion, Levin and Arnn invite everyone to engage with this rich history, urging listeners to read the Declaration of Independence and to learn the story behind it. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the foundations of American liberty and the principles that continue to shape our nation today. Liberty and Learning with Mark Levin and Dr. Larry Arnn is a 10-part series, hosted by veteran broadcaster and constitutional law expert, Mark Levin, and his good friend, Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, dives deep into the founding principles of the U.S., as Americans face both crisis and opportunity. Levin and Arnn take listeners on a journey forward, as they unpack the country’s basic foundations and the self-government they require. Mark Levin and Dr. Arnn bring their knowledge and wisdom to bear in a candid conversation between lifelong friends on today’s latest news events. They will touch on the points of crisis in America, addressing each in light of our constitutional government, and tackling the pressing issues of our time to see how they fit into the grand tapestry of American history. The discussion will delve deep into the issues at the forefront of our nation’s concerns, like education, borders, citizenship, separation of powers, state and local government, and much more.

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.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Democrat-appointed judges want to continue pushing for due process for illegal aliens who are being sent back to their countries. These are people who violated our laws; they are not being deported because of their race. Democrats often use the race card to sway voters or start racial issues that have nothing to do with race. Judges appointed by Sen. Chuck Schumer defend these illegal aliens, who never even come to court to address their illegal status. They expect us to go through each case individually to see if they qualify for due process, which is impractical given the millions of people entering the country. Many children and women are missing, fentanyl is being smuggled through the border, and other issues persist. If you believe in open borders, then you hate America, period. Additionally, it is grotesque that Sen. Chris Van Hollen is threatening the president of El Salvador by going to El Salvador and showing solidarity with Venezuelan gang members. What about all the people who were subjected to abuse and crime in the U.S by illegal aliens? This guy has completely lost it. Also, President Trump continues to try to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear missiles. The left-wing media and pro-Islamic influencers claim that Trump should be more diplomatic, but how can you be diplomatic with terrorists? It is not as easy as that; you can't trust Iran with nuclear bombs—it would be a disaster. It is not surprising though, since these Democrats want to protect illegal gang members, protect Islamic regimes and supporters, as well as push false narratives. Learn more about your ad choices.
