12/29/25 - A Year of Trump: Triumphs and Trials

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark Levin. It's enraging and sad to see how the left isn't reacting strongly to the fraud associated with the Somali benefits scandal. Their reluctance seems to stem from a desire to avoid being labeled "racist," which is absurd. This situation has nothing to do with racism; fraud is simply fraud, end of story. The fraud that occurred in Minnesota is unacceptable and not only goes against the law, but it is wrong to remove the opportunity from hard working citizens who actually need the healthcare. The Somali fraud issue is not just happening in Minnesota, it is also happening in many other states. Also, these fake MAGA influencers, and left wing hosts that think they have successful podcasts are rileing up conspiracies and lies for clicks, sensationalism, or fame. It is the brainwashing that is turning America upside-down with the virus that the propaganda from the media and these influencers that is contaminating our society. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark Levin. ISIS has been butchering Jews and Christians across the Middle East and beyond, and the world knows it. And when President Donald Trump says that if these terrorists keep spilling innocent blood he’ll strike back—he means it. No double‑talk. No hesitation. Strength. Under Trump, Americans have seen lower taxes, a stronger economy, a secure border, peace instead of endless wars, the rollback of DEI mandates, and an end to radical policies targeting children. These are facts, not fantasy. Millions of Americans are grateful for it. In addition, Affordability? Americans are better off today than they were in 2020. Tariffs, deportations, and job growth have put real money back into the pockets of working people. Is the country perfect? Of course not. People are struggling. But the nation is rising—economically, structurally, confidently. Growth averaging 4% in Trump’s first year is no accident. It’s leadership. The media, corrupt, hypocritical, ideologically driven, pretends none of this is happening. They distort, they smear, and they distract, but the American people see through it. That’s why the left keeps losing support. Reality has a way of breaking through the noise. If any of Trump’s accomplishments have touched your life, your family, your wallet, your safety—then this is your moment. This is your year. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Christmas Day! There was a spectacle in Qatar where wealthy ruling-class elites from U.S. government, politics, business, and media, along with foreign leaders for diplomatic cover, gathered to align with a regime that funds terrorism and seeks to destroy the United States from within, the West, and Israel. This highlights the success of a new imperial ruling class across both parties, businesses, unions, media, and financiers, who celebrate monarchy, fascism, and Marxist-Islamists while pursuing power, wealth, and glory. They exploit podcasting and podcasters who claim America First while attacking traditional Americanism, Judeo-Christian values, capitalism, the military, and allies, instead demanding ties with enemies like Qatar.  These grifters like Tucker Carlson smear true conservatives, centralize power and wealth in a bizarre feudal-Marxist form, ignore Qatar's role in 9/11 and university corruption, and target vulnerable young people with isolationism toward allies and globalism toward foes. These grifters will cause Republicans to suffer massive losses in midterm elections, even amid a strong economy, by alienating red-blooded Americans—such as veterans, cops, firefighters, electricians, and plumbers—who recognize these figures getting rich in places like Qatar while spreading enemy propaganda against the country.   Later, Gov Josh Shapiro associates radical Muslim elements, including imams in Philadelphia, and providing $5 million to their academy, while hypocritically downplaying his Jewish heritage to non-Jews and emphasizing it to Jews, which is diabolical politics.  Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born intellectual, wrote an eye-opening article on Somali culture, which Shapiro ignores while funding radical Islamists. Immigrants must be vetted for assimilation potential. Shapiro and Cox are enabling cultural erosion through political correctness. The Islamist belief system is incompatible with Americanism. Also, it’s important to educate the young people about America’s history. They are brainwashed by misinformation and by an agenda they don't understand themselves, only because they were taught to do it. We need to educate our future generations, teaching them about people the unknown people who founded our country, such as Roger Sherman, Gunning Bedford Jr and Daniel of St Thomas Jenifer.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin! Qatar is working hard to buy off as many people as they can. There’s a lengthy list of influential figures—including top business executives, politicians, podcasters like Tucker Carlson, think tank members, and even some Israel supporters and hawks—who are invited to Qatar with expenses covered for first-class travel, hotels, meals, and sometimes substantial payments to speak or interview others. Qatar is aggressively buying influence through lavish events like Formula One races, investments in U.S. colleges, and luxuries for elites, who enjoy flashy displays of wealth while ignoring the exploitation of over a million indentured servants. This benefits only the ruling class and elites while ordinary Americans gain nothing and are screwed big time. This is also helping Qatar push the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal to infiltrate the US and destroy democracy from within. Also, Carl Davis calls in to discuss his new documentary – See Through The Darkness. Later, there are many men and women who were crucial in America’s founding whose names you probably never heard of before. Have you heard of William Samuel Johnson, Richard Bassett, or Jacob Broom? Did you know the Constitutional Convention was attended by 55 or 70 appointed delegates and only 39 of 55 signed the Constitution. Why? Some disagreed and thought it gave too much power to the central government. There are a lot of tremendous patriots, like Haym Salomon, who get no mention and they gave up everything for America. This is why Americans get angry when certain podcaster trash America or promote Middle East monarchies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, WREC's  Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. President Trump is smashing economic records because of the Big, Beautiful Bill. This is the result of bold leadership—tax cuts that put money back in your pocket and tariffs that put America first. The numbers don’t lie: billions of dollars have flowed into the economy since Trump took office. The media won’t tell you this. They’re too busy fearmongering about inflation. Yes, the price index rose 2.8 percent—big deal. Some economists warn about interest rates, but the fundamentals are strong. Growth is real, and it proves the America First agenda works—better than anything Biden could ever dream of. Compare this to Biden’s disaster—his stagflation nightmare. Trump has crushed that tenfold. He’s delivering prosperity while Biden would have delivered misery. The fake news media will keep lying, keep spinning, and try to scare you. But the truth is undeniable: Trump is making historic, record-breaking changes to our economy, and the American people are winning because of it. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, WREC’s Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. There are rumors ​that ​the ​media ​and ​the ​Democratic ​Party ​are ​pushing ​that President ​Trump, his approval ratings, and the Republican ​Party are a ​disaster.  It’s a lie. Trump enjoys ​a ​50% ​approval ​rating ​with ​a ​net ​approval ​rating ​of ​+9 ​points. This approval will only go higher next year from upcoming policies like no taxes on tips, Social Security, or overtime.  11% of Republicans express dissatisfaction with Trump's performance. A significant portion of this discontent likely stems from his strong support for Israel, alienating an anti-Semitic segment that prioritizes "America only" and includes figures like Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens. Also, Trump announced the construction of major ships, including battleships, which the U.S. hasn't built since the 1990s, to restore the nation's naval force as the most lethal in the world. These ships will be built in America, thereby sustaining American jobs. Later, the opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to join his proposed October 7th commission of inquiry because they seek to oust him and his allies, fearing that transparent findings without evidence of his negligence would hinder their power gains and bolster his position.  Afterward, Trump's self-deportation plan is brilliant. By year's end, illegal immigrants who voluntarily leave receive a $3,000 holiday stipend, assistance to depart, and potential future re-entry, whereas those caught and deported face permanent exclusion. This is cost-effective compared to enforced deportations amid migrants' economic burdens like job loss, higher rents, and home prices for Americans.  We need more self-deportations by illegal aliens.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, people often question why does the issue of radical Islamists remain a topic of discussion? The reason is that Jews are being slaughtered, Christians are being killed or shunned, yet there is a noticeable lack of coverage on these atrocities. Marxism, Islamism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism are a cancer that will destroy the West, it will destroy us - history proves it. We have to defend our civilization against this barbarian movement of 7th century Islamists that are largely based in Middle East. The lies that are being told about American history is all intentional. It’s the Marxist, Islamist fusion in our culture fused with the incoming Islamist culture who all reject our founding. President Trump has never flinched in his support for the state of Israel, and he’s very concerned about the antisemitism taking place in the U.S. and around the world. But there are some Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes types who say they’re done with Trump because he’s Israel first. These people are trying to destroy MAGA, the Republican party and the Trump presidency. We won’t let that happen. We have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he’s delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Also, Ukraine drones blew up a Russian oil tanker. For all the talk of Ukraine losing this war, they are putting up a fight. Ukraine is on the offense!  Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence's references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors.  Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There’s an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota has announced new indictments in the Somali community revealing industrial-scale fraud in the state's Medicaid programs, with half or more of the roughly $18 billion paid out since 2018 potentially fraudulent across at least 14 high-risk services. The fraud outpaces other states, risking essential services and ripping off taxpayers. Why isn’t there any outrage from Democrats like Rep Ilhan Omar? Also, Inflation is decreasing significantly, and the U.S. economy is poised for improvement despite possible short-term dips, ultimately leading to growth. President Trump has implemented extensive pro-growth measures across sectors such as natural resources, food, commercial fisheries, and farming, including removing Biden-era regulations, and enacting massive tax and regulatory cuts reminiscent of Reagan's. Later, we have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.  These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting.   Afterward, sources are saying the Brown University murder, and the MIT nuclear expert murder are linked.  As of now, police have found the suspect's abandoned car, issued an arrest warrant with probable cause, and expanded the multi-state investigation to New Hampshire, canceling a press conference amid active operations.  Finally, Josh Hammer calls in to explain the attacks from Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and other podcasters, which are signs that he's speaking uncomfortable truths while others prioritize clicks and attention over substance.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump has never flinched in his support for the state of Israel, and he’s very concerned about the antisemitism taking place in the U.S. and around the world. But there are some Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes types who say they’re done with Trump because he’s Israel first. These people are trying to destroy MAGA, the Republican party and the Trump presidency. We won’t let that happen. Also, you’re not hearing any condemnation from the Palestinian world on the Australia terror attack because it’s considered an accomplishment. This kind of slaughter is encouraged there and it’s not just against Jews; they are targeting the entire West. Later, the public faces of the Brown university investigation are embarrassing. We don’t know a lot. What we do know that these institutions let their student body down by not taking precautions. Afterward, Sen Lindsey Graham calls in and argues that post-9/11, society has forgotten its causes and normalized abnormal behaviors. Radical Islam is a strain of the religion, not just a terrorist organization, with its believers, religious Nazis, dedicated to purifying Islam, destroying Jews, killing infidels, and establishing a master religion like the Nazis' master race. The biggest victims are other Muslims, and fighting this enemy requires properly defining it, and striking preemptively. Finally, documents reveal that the FBI's Washington Field Office doubted probable cause for the Mar-A-Lago search warrant and preferred negotiating with Trump's lawyer to resolve the issue amicably, noting Trump's potentially strong legal arguments on the documents. However, Merrick Garland and his Department of Justice overruled these concerns, insisting on the raid despite the FBI's reservations about its necessity and professionalism.
