10/22- France's Warning: Could America Face the Same Fate?

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, France serves as a warning that civilization is not immortal. Western countries have ignored signs of social and cultural decline for decades. Nations that admit or tolerate people who hate their societies risk undermining their own survival. A civilization cannot survive if it continually weakens itself by welcoming people who oppose its values and interests. France’s unrest is partly the result of allowing in people hostile to the country; Britain faces a similar danger, and the United States could experience the same fate if it follows a similar path. Also, since Dearborn, Michigan will overwhelmingly support Abdul El-Sayed, it is critical for voters across the rest of Michigan to turn out, vote early or submit ballots, and encourage family, friends, and community members to do the same. This election will affect the future of the country and future generations. Republicans need to stay focused on winning elections and not be distracted by internal disputes. Democrats are tied to extremists, Marxists, and groups that threaten the country. Most Americans love their country, support the Constitution, oppose open borders, and reject policies that would weaken the nation's system.  Meanwhile, Democrats are fighting efforts to clean up voter rolls, even as the Justice Department identifies 20,000 ineligible voters who received ballots in California and the case lands before Judge David Carter, who has already shown open hostility to the DOJ. Attorney General Todd Blanche asks why no one in California wants to fix it.  Finally, Katie Zacharia joins the show and describes traveling with President Trump on his midterm blitz through Alaska, Arizona, and Montana, with rallies as packed as 2024, and points to the Alaska LNG pipeline and new energy projects as real results. She points to Gavin Newsom's record in California, from the train to nowhere to the nation's worst literacy rate and highest energy prices, and warns that Democrats would turn the weaponized legal system on ordinary Americans. Holding the Senate is critical to confirming judges and justices who will defend the Constitution. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, we need to continue to reach people across the country and around the world to help turn out voters, clarify the mission, and encourage participation in the election, regardless of polls, surveys, commentators, or experts. The ultimate decision about the country's future rests with the American people, not pollsters. Election predictions have shifted from expectations of a sweeping Democrat victory to increasing uncertainty among so-called experts. We need to vote early, and bring friends, family, and members of their social and religious communities to vote as well. Also, the U.S. administration has directed embassies in Arab states across the Middle East to reduce personnel, while a reported lengthy meeting took place between Secretary Pete Hegseth and Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli jets have been flying through Syrian and Iraqi airspace up to Iran’s border, testing conditions and keeping Iran on high alert, and that a third carrier has been deployed, which suggests that something is stirring. Iran appears to be moving equipment, uranium, or other assets to hardened locations, which proves that it is not backing down.  Later, the Constitution was designed around enduring principles, protecting individual liberty from federal government intrusion while originally leaving most matters involving individual rights to the states. The Bill of Rights initially applied only to the federal government and was later extended to the states through Supreme Court decisions. Abdul El-Sayed is a Constitutional liberate, who is misrepresenting originalism and the Second Amendment by focusing on muskets rather than the broader constitutional right to bear arms.  Afterward, millions of people are leaving blue states for red states because nothing is cheaper in blue states. They have higher costs for electricity, gasoline, housing, food, and property taxes. What do Democrats offer on affordability? Finally, Gov Greg Abbott calls in explains that CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood pose a great danger, which is why he designated them as foreign terrorist organizations. Yet CAIR supports his opponent, Gina Hinojosa. If elected Hinojosa would have serious consequences for Texas and the country. Texans need to get out and vote. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, CNN is the Al-Jazeera of America. They have become closely aligned with and financially influenced by Qatar. CNN quietly removed highly favorable language about Qatar from promotional materials for its upcoming Global Perspectives forum in Doha after scrutiny. Qatar uses its money to buy influence across media, universities, politics, and public institutions, while promoting its interests through outlets such as Al Jazeera and relationships with organizations like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. CNN’s Qatar-backed events, Doha bureau, and revised conference agenda demonstrate that the network has compromised its journalistic independence. CNN has effectively become a vehicle for advancing Qatari interests rather than operating as an independent news organization. Meanwhile, a movement called “Chaos, Inc.” has expanded to 101 organizations across nine countries that are coordinating, organizing, or amplifying protests in Europe and potentially the United States. These groups are connected through a Marxist-Islamist alliance, involving Antifa, Code Pink, and other left-wing activist networks, and are being funded and supported by the Chinese Communist Party, Qatar, and billionaire Neville Roy Singham. Later, Dr James Lindsay calls in and explains that the National Conservatism (NatCon) movement is attempting to replace constitutional and classical liberal conservatism with a new collectivist ideology centered on loyalty, nationalism, and state-directed notions of the common good. NatCon and its allies attack foundational influences such as John Locke, mischaracterize supporters of the Constitution as “liberals,” and promote a vision that subordinates individual liberty to national or collective interests. The movement advocates greater state involvement in economic, social, religious, and personal affairs under the banner of the common good, which he says resembles socialist or Marxist methods despite different goals. Finally, Rep Monica De La Cruz calls in to discuss her congressional race in South Texas, where redistricting has made 80% of her district new territory despite her incumbency. The district was designed to lean Republican, but economic concerns such as affordability and immigration remain top issues, and many Hispanic voters are relatively new to the Republican Party.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Americans have a crucial opportunity to reject the path that France, Belgium, and Britain have taken and to do so through voting, particularly by turning out in large numbers during early voting and on Election Day. The social and political conditions in parts of Europe could spread if left unchecked. This election is about protecting liberty, honoring the sacrifices of previous generations, maintaining the American melting pot, and ensuring that cultural and religious traditions coexist without being imposed on society through intimidation, violence, or coercion. Also, PM Benjamin Netanyahu is a crucial ally in the fight against Islamists, Marxists, and left-wing leadership in Europe and the United States. The United States and Israel cannot afford to lose this battle; we need to stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel and support militaries willing to fight persistent enemies, despite criticism from the left and isolationists. Later, Rep Scott Perry calls in to discuss his highly competitive swing district where Democrats and major donors have spent heavily to defeat him. Perry explains that he is defending the Constitution, fights government spending and national debt, and protects freedoms and privacy. Afterward, France’s recent student protests have expanded beyond school-related grievances into a broader movement supported by a network of 54 organizations, including communist and socialist groups, labor unions, political movements, environmental activists, student organizations, and Palestine-solidarity groups. Many of these organizations have helped organize, support, or amplify the demonstrations, linking concerns over education, public services, austerity, policing, military spending, and broader political issues.  Finally, Washington State Senate Minority Leader John Braun calls in with an update on candidacy for Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. Braun described the challenges Republicans have faced in Washington state since losing their Senate majority nine years ago. Braun’s opponent, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, is no moderate; she has voted against lower taxes, national security funding, border security measures, parental rights, and restrictions on biological males participating in women’s sports.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, Rich Valdes fills in for Mark. The upcoming midterm elections are among the most consequential in the nation’s history. It’s a choice between preserving the America people know today or moving toward a radically different future. Americans are increasingly focused on the future their children and grandchildren will inherit, law and order, constitutional principles, and the need for strong leadership to protect freedom, security, and traditional American values. We must reject the propaganda, stay engaged in the political process, and remain focused on shaping the country’s future. Also, while many conservatives hope serious consequences could follow Rep Ilhan Omar, many remain skeptical that any investigation will ultimately lead to criminal penalties. Omar’s unpopularity stems less from the marriage allegations and more from her anti-American statements throughout her political career. If Omar committed crimes, she should be held accountable, but who knows whether the political and legal system will actually produce that outcome. Later, AOC says Republicans don't want women to go to college. She is misrepresenting the issue: the government caps student loans for non-professional occupations such as nurses, teachers and social workers. AOC is trying to weaponize higher education as the GOP's war on women when it's actually a war on the Deep State. The bigger issue is that people are being lied to: AOC labels Republicans as anti-women but her supporters just accept it at face value. We need to stop with knee-jerk reactions. Meanwhile, Democratic Socialists of America candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier tells Politico that Democrats can learn from the DSA’s bold vision, a vision of abolishing ICE, jails, police, and the Senate and promising free health care for everyone. Canadians with heart trouble slip into Detroit for emergency care, and in Cuba a surgeon asks a patient’s family to bring gloves and gauze from the States, proof that government-run medicine is not the America anyone should want.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, Erin Molan fills in for Mark. The midterm elections are a pivotal moment because the values, freedoms, and way of life people cherish are under threat from both foreign adversaries and domestic ideological movements. Many people across the West are unaware of these dangers, which include the Chinese Communist Party, North Korea, Iran, Islamic extremism, the Muslim Brotherhood, and a coalition of far-left, socialist, and communist forces operating within American institutions and politics. This election is a choice between those who love and want to preserve America and those she says want to transform or destroy it. Complacency is dangerous and you can defend your country by voting because the future of America and future generations depends on it. Also, Abdul El-Sayed denies that he or his family have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, even though his sister posted about it on social media. Islamic extremism poses a serious threat. Many in the West are afraid to name or confront such threats, while others unknowingly help them grow. Strength, courage, and political engagement are necessary because the threats are no longer distant but already exist within Western societies, making upcoming elections especially important. Later, NJ Republican Senate candidate Justin Murphy urged President Trump to finish the conflict with Iran, arguing that the IRGC has spread terror, oppression, and instability for decades and that the Iranian people deserve a better future. Preventing Iran from gaining power and capability to threaten America is consistent with an America First agenda. Previous presidents recognized the threat but failed to act decisively, only Trump confronted the regime. Finally, Molan takes listeners inside a Hamas terror tunnel in Gaza she entered last week while hosting an October 7 memorial and meeting Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Herzog, and the foreign minister. The tunnel, discovered only eight months ago near the Israeli border, shows how aid money built underground networks for killers rather than shelters for civilians. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Ben Fegruson fills in for Mark. What was initially portrayed as banks independently debanking customers was actually the result of intense pressure from federal regulators during the Obama and Biden administrations, which targeted groups and industries disfavored by the government, including MAGA supporters, pro-life organizations and firearms businesses. Banks feared regulatory retaliation, fines, and other consequences if they did not comply, leading them to deny services, credit, or accounts based on customers’ political, social, or religious views. Government officials effectively used financial institutions to punish ideological opponents and influence private-sector decisions. Americans of all political and religious beliefs should oppose such actions because the government should not have the power to determine who can access banking services based on their values, beliefs, or affiliations, and he calls for legislation to prevent similar practices in the future. Also, whistleblower findings publicized by Sen Chuck Grassley alleges that Jack Smith and the Biden Department of Justice collected personal data on more than 639,000 Republican voters, donors, and supporters during the Arctic Frost investigation. Many of these individuals had done nothing more than donate small amounts to Republican causes, purchase Trump campaign merchandise, or participate in the political process, yet their names, addresses, occupations, donation histories, and other personal information were collected. Investigators gathered information from people with no apparent connection to alleged wrongdoing. How was this information used, and why was so much personal data on ordinary Americans obtained in the first place? The scope of the data collection was politically motivated, personally invasive, and far larger than previously known. It was a government-maintained database of Republican supporters which you see in authoritarian governments. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. President Trump’s trip to Alaska is primarily about winning a crucial Senate race while highlighting energy independence, economic growth, and national security.  Alaska plays a central role because of its vast oil, gas, natural resource, and federal land holdings. Control of the Senate, lower energy costs, and the country’s future are all tied to the outcome of the Alaska race. Also, the United Kingdom should be a warning to us about the consequences of government programs that become too expensive to sustain. British politicians promised expansive benefits, including disability-related programs and vehicle leasing benefits, but the costs have grown dramatically, creating political and economic pressure as taxpayers struggle to fund them. The programs have expanded beyond their intended purpose, leading to waste, fraud, abuse, and growing numbers of people classified as disabled. Rising welfare costs, shrinking workforce participation, and increasing dependence on government benefits have created an unsustainable system that now forces politicians to consider spending cuts – America needs to pay attention. Later, Abdul El-Sayed failed ,during a debate with Mike Rogers, to deny allegations that he received support from George Soros-linked donors and individuals connected to terrorist organizations. This election represents a broader choice between America First politics and a radical political movement. Afterward, it’s alleged that Rep Ilhan Omar’s congressional staff worked to change her birth year in public records from 1981 to 1982 after she was elected to Congress. The birth-year change and citizenship timeline are the reasons some people are now raising questions about the investigation. There are also questions about Omar’s financial disclosures, including a reported $29 million change in her net worth, and revisits longstanding allegations regarding her marriages, including claims that a marriage to a British citizen may have been connected to immigration benefits. These issues, combined with reports that her birth year was changed in congressional records after her election, warrant scrutiny and investigation. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. Columbus Day and the American Miracle. We still celebrate Columbus Day, right? It is a federal holiday by statute, after all. It’s OK to wish someone a Happy Columbus Day. Unless you’re a woke libtard influenced by secular pop culture, in which case you celebrate something called Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which is not a federal holiday. In fact, if it weren’t for Columbus, there’s a really good chance July 4th, 1776 wouldn’t have happened. According to AI, the odds of the American colonists beating the British to win independence and then becoming the world’s superpower were 0–0.001%. In the past 250 years, the average standard of living has increased exponentially. Increased wealth led to increased philanthropy, leading to advances in tech, science, medicine, and religion. Without the USA, could the Allies have won World War II? It’s very easy to overlook the probable fact that without Christopher Columbus, there would be no United States of America. Also, is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky OK with maintaining the status quo of war with Russia? Trump made a deal with Russian President Putin for diesel fuel, but the bigger news was he called on the Ukrainian people to elect a new leader who will make a deal to end the war. Trump holds all the cards: America provides 45% of Ukraine’s weapons, including the deep-strike weapons Ukraine has used to hit Russian refineries and drive up diesel prices. Trump has asked Zelenskyy to stop hitting Russian energy but to no avail. What is Zelensky’s motivation? He’s unpopular in Ukraine and would probably lose an election, but he’s suspended elections until he has 60 days of peace. As long as the war continues, Zelensky stays president. Suppose Trump withholds the 45% of Ukrainian weapons that America provides? Trump’s strategy behind his deal with Putin is not just lowering diesel prices, it’s putting maximum pressure on Zelensky to end the war. Finally, two things can be true at once. The Iran war did increase oil prices, but oil shipments out of the Strait of Hormuz have resumed at 74% of pre-war levels and are getting better. But refined products—like diesel—are still lagging behind. We’re winning the war in Iran. They are throwing the kitchen sink in a desperate attempt to disrupt the flow of oil out of the Strait because Iran is in dire economic trouble. They are almost out of oil to sell and almost out of money. To send weapons to terror proxies like the Houthis, they need money. Trump’s strategy of parallel paths to bring both wars—Iran and Russia/Ukraine—to an end is working. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the same party seeking to reshape the Constitution is targeting the Supreme Court first by eliminating the filibuster, packing the lower courts and the Supreme Court with additional justices, and presenting themselves as the true constitutionalists while pursuing a broader political agenda. Later, if Republicans continue to outperform polling in the same way they have in past cycles, states like Michigan, Texas, Iowa, and Ohio could shift Republican, allowing Republicans to hold the Senate. But none of that matters unless we vote like everything is on the line because everything is on the line. Democrats are trying to weaken this president through investigations, lay the groundwork for future political gains, and pursue changes that would fundamentally alter the country, including amnesty and other policies would be difficult to reverse. Our goal is to hold the Senate and the House and advance the cause of liberty and constitutionalism in this election cycle. We are the real activists, not the commentators on television or the internet, and that by turning out to vote early and on Election Day we can push our side to victory. This election is different because everything is on the line, and regardless of past disagreements within the party, Republicans must unite in the general election. Democrats would raise energy, fuel, food, electricity, and housing costs rather than lower them, while also reopening the borders and weakening law enforcement. This election is critical because the policies and direction of the country are at stake and no, it’s not about nationalism, as natcons would have you believe. It's about Americanism. The problems seen in places like France and Britain are already taking root in America, and if President Donald Trump had not been re-elected, the United States would be facing the same path. A Marxist-Islamist alliance is already here, supported by Democrats who are undermining the Constitution, the Supreme Court, law enforcement, the military, and the nation's checks and balances in pursuit of centralized power and one-party rule. Mass immigration by people who do not intend to assimilate, along with the influence of radicals in universities, the media, and politics, threatens civil society and Americanism. This election is a choice between preserving America, constitutional government, and the rule of law, or allowing forces that seek to fundamentally transform and ultimately destroy the nation to prevail. Later, AG Letitia James pursued investigations into President Trump and those around him despite claims from a whistleblower that investigators repeatedly found no evidence of wrongdoing. According to prosecutor Daniel Wiesenfeld, his supervisors acknowledged there was no case but said the investigation continued because it was ultimately James’ decision, leading him to believe prosecutors were being directed to find crimes after targeting specific individuals rather than following evidence. This violates basic legal and ethical principles. If such practices continue, more politically motivated investigations will follow, diverting attention and resources away from other issues while fueling partisan conflict.
