On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. This is the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We say "Never Forget" and pay homage to the victims and their families, but we have forgotten. And maybe we never opened our eyes in the first place, because 25 years later the West is getting our rear ends kicked by Islam. Islam is winning and as a society we are clueless, because we've never thought through what "Never Forget" represents. In the aftermath of 9/11, many of us felt helpless and we didn't get Islam. But if you had told someone back then that 25 years later an Islamist would be Mayor of New York City, they'd think you were nuts. Suppose the real Ground Zero is not the site of the Twin Towers, but Michigan? We've totally blown the Never Forget thing. As a society we've closed our eyes to Islam's plan to takeover America. Also, on 9/11 we were at war, but we interpreted differently from the Islamists. We thought were at war with terrorists "over there," while we were blind to what was happening right here at home. In the 9,130 days since 9/11, an average of 5.5 terror attacks have taken place. Islamic terror has become so common that it takes an October 7th type of event to make news. Out of political correctness, many attacks get labelled "hate crimes." The truth is the Islamists didn't need to attack the Twin Towers. The Islamic plan has parallel paths: terror, infiltration and political correctness. The West has allowed itself to be manipulated by Islam and the plan is working. Then, 25 years ago, all of two elected officials in the U.S. were Islamists, both in Michigan. Today, that number is 255, including four members of Congress and Hizzoner Mayor Mamdani. The Muslim Brotherhood has an actual 100 year plan, first discovered in 1982, with a ten point plan to takeover the West. They realized the West couldn't be conquered militarily, so they're doing it by gradual entrenchment. They're playing the long game and it's working. Finally, if we do nothing else, where do we go from here? The Muslim Brotherhood 100 year plan tells us. We went from identifying western societies and establishing infrastructure, to building a North American network, to institutional consolidation, to political and civic participation. From here, the plan calls for influencing institutions, to influencing laws and public policy favorable to Islam, to the normalization of Islamist political ideas. In other words, Islam is no longer outside the norm, Islam IS the norm. The question is, do we have it within us to protect our republic, our Judeo-Christian values and our way of life?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, one year ago today, Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood for the crime of engaging students. People who project onto Kirk whatever they want and put words in his mouth or selectively play clips, and especially those who abuse his family and wife Erica, are disgusting and evil and should be boycotted and ignored. There is concern that TPUSA not become a home for the Woke Reich isolationists; Charlie was neither an isolationist nor Woke Reich. TPUSA needs to be very careful about who it associates with. Later, we remember September 11th - 25 years later. We were attacked by Islamist terrorists, yet our doors have remained wide open for a quarter of a century, especially in the four years preceding Trump’s second presidency, and there are consequences. The Islamist enemy has not gone away; they are more powerful and more networked than ever and are here within our borders. The ruling class calls it a religion of peace; there may be peaceful individual Muslims, but it is not a religion of peace when one understands Sharia law. Also, Fairfax County Public Schools issued a 9/11 commemoration guide advising teachers not to link the attacks to radical Islam and to create safe spaces for Muslim students. This is candy-coating the worst terrorist attack in American history, hiding the Islamist motives of the hijackers, and using tax dollars to brainwash students rather than teach the facts.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Mohamed Atta's own writings and background suggest that religious conviction and ideological commitment, rather than poverty, foreign policy grievances, or social alienation, were central motivations behind his actions on September 11th.  Western leaders and analysts have often preferred socioeconomic explanations while underestimating the role of religious and civilizational factors.  After misdiagnosing the enemy and importing culturally incompatible populations, the West now confronts the same threat at home and must undertake a serious stock-taking of violent Islamism and the wider ecosystem around it. Both Islamist and Marxist movements are fundamentally driven by the pursuit of power. Western elites often deny or underestimate cultural and ideological threats. Modern challenges to the West extend beyond terrorism to include demographic change, institutional influence, migration pressures, cyber operations, disinformation, and alliances between secular leftist movements and politicized Islamist groups. Western societies face a broader civilizational challenge and must recognize and respond to it in order to preserve their constitutional and liberal traditions. Later, Rep Claudia Tenney calls in to discuss her letter objecting to a British boycott campaign aimed at Israelis living in Judea and Samaria. Section 999 of the Internal Revenue Code requires the United States to track allied countries that boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel (as in the BDS movement) so American companies are not put at commercial risk; she asked Bessent to review whether Britain’s action interferes with free U.S. commerce and specifically targets Judea and Samaria. The federal government needs to act because unsanctioned international boycotts harm U.S. businesses and the economy.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, there's a psyop campaign against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just weeks before elections there. The far-left news site Haaretz cites a book that claims Netanyahu ignored a warning from the President of the UAE about Hamas' attack on October 7th. The book cites "three anonymous foreign sources" as proof. Netanyahu's office vehemently denies the report, but all of Netanyahu's election opponents have demanded an immediate investigation. This is a well-timed, well organized political ambush. The Western media and those who hate Netanyahu have latched on to the report, and it has spread like wildfire, and it's very difficult to defend yourself in just a few weeks. The media may be happy if Netanyahu loses, but so will the Iranian regime. Also, no, we shouldn't expand a government program to provide benefits to nearly all families. Doing so would create a broad new entitlement at a time when the nation faces massive debt, rising interest costs, and future funding shortfalls for programs such as Social Security and Medicare. More government spending, borrowing, taxation, and redistribution will worsen fiscal problems and could lead to economic and constitutional consequences. There are certain "conservative" thinkers, institutions, and advocates of “National Conservatism” who embrace larger government solutions, but the central government is already too large and powerful. Government expansion is not the answer to helping families - limiting government involvement is the better approach. Later, the European Union is looking to Israel to strengthen its high-tech air defense and space capabilities, even as 11 European countries impose sanctions on it. This is hypocritical - Israel should say no. European countries provide little support to Israel. Now is a good time to revisit the Falklands and Northern Ireland. The UK government has now set the precedent. Of course, the difference is that Judea and Samaria actually are the indigenes home of the Jews going back thousands of years, long before there were Muslims let alone Palestinians. Finally, Bart Hester, President Pro Tempore of the Arkansas State Senate, calls in and explains that Arkansas is one of the 40 states with an anti-BDS law to push back against antisemitism. The law allows the state to refuse to do business with those who boycott Israel. If countries, rather than just businesses, engage in such actions, Arkansas could add them to a list of entities with which the state will not conduct business. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we bring the best of on Labor Day. A counter push has started against Luddites who want to prevent industrial and technological progress by banning data centers. Yes, there are legitimate concerns and there will be some little inconveniences, but a flat ban would set America back decades while the enemy moves forward. Also, the Supreme Court, by a 5-4 majority, told a lower court to back off trying to stop President Trump's new White House ballroom. The majority said the plaintiff didn't have standing to sue. Chief Justice John Roberts joined the minority - if it were up to him, he would destroy separation of powers. How does it affect Congress' powers if the President raises private funds for the White House? Then, imams of a Shia Muslim mosque in Dearborn, Michigan pledged its allegiance to the Islamic regime in Iran, calling the U.S. a nation of "devil-worshipers." Most of these mosques in Dearborn are raising future Islamists. The indoctrination of young kids is a poison that spreads into the wider culture. Why do these radical Islamist imams use the language of class warfare and violence? Ali Khamenei told them to use Marxist language and propaganda in the West. Marxism is attractive to Western liberals. Meanwhile, national conservatism is a form of older paleo conservatism and such isms are not new - like Theodore Roosevelt’s progressive nationalism and Huey Long who rebranded fascism as anti-fascism. This echoes Orwell’s remark that every government, even communist ones, claims to be a democracy. Words have meanings that politicians often confuse and contort, and conservatives and Republicans should not abandon one of the greatest periods of conservatism and Republicanism in the 80's, just as they should not abandon Trump. Later, certain infrastructure, including Kharg island, must be taken out and the Iranian people armed. Even if the regime’s leaders lack money, they remain like World War II Japanese kamikazes: religious zealots who treated the Emperor as God on earth, prayed, fought, and lived for him—the product of nationalism. The Iranian regime will not surrender for its people’s good or because its military is defeated, and any document or negotiation it signs is merely an ends-justifies-the-means tactic. The regime must therefore be obliterated and eliminated. The only real way to overthrow it is from within; the President has created the conditions for that, but unless further steps are taken the concern remains that collapse could simply produce another such regime. Afterward, the media portrayed Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, as a peaceful “boy scout” exercising free speech and advocating for Palestinian rights, but a 100-page investigation documents a previously unseen record of support for terrorists, terrorist organizations, and armed violence. The report unearths statements in which Mahdawi promised to “annihilate the Jews,” praised Hamas, honored dead terrorists, and bragged that Palestinians have the capacity and conviction to resist, kill, and wound; similar violence-tinged postings continued as recently as 2024 while he was on U.S. soil.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, do you use TikTok, Instagram, X, or any social media? What about a computer? Laptop? iPhone? Smart TV? Have you seen a doctor or been to a hospital? Have you driven a car? Taken an airplane? Use email? Congratulations! You use AI! And in order to use AI, you need data centers. Amazing how quickly people fall for lies about data centers. It's the pandemic and fracking all over again. Luddites who don't believe in industrial progress tell people they'll lose their jobs, but data centers will create jobs you've never even heard of. If we want to keep pace with adversaries like China, we'd better ignore the Luddites and pandering politicians and go all in on industrial progress. Meanwhile, a counter-push has started against Luddites who want to prevent industrial and technological progress by banning data centers.

Marxism is attractive to Western liberals. Later, arm the Iranian people, the time is now. The Reagan Doctrine worked. Let us not be risk averse in the middle of a war when we seek victory and thousands of Iranian people have been and are being slaughtered. We can't predict everything in a war; if we are not going to arm the Iranian people, then let's ask the Israelis to do so. They are likely less risk averse, and their Mossad certainly has a good handle on who is who there. The Socialists, Marxists, and Islamists condemn America, its founding, and the Constitution. Any Democrat or DSA candidate who has stated they cannot abide the Constitution or seek to fundamentally alter it without amending it must not be seated in the next Congress, a position which is compelled by the Constitution itself. Article 6, Clause 3 requires senators, representatives, and other officers to be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution; they cannot be seated until they take that oath, which is a requirement of serving rather than a ceremonial act. Ryan Reynolds is an irrelevant actor who called the 1980s a “brutal time,” a “fu*king mess” of sociopolitical tension. The 1980's were a spectacular era of economic growth, restored American superpower status, Reagan’s defeat of the Soviet Union and eight years of great Americanism. Hatred of the 1980s is really hatred of Reagan and Republicans; those who reject its economics in favor of 1930s-style big-government programs (New Deal through Biden) or who recast activist government as a new national-conservative idea are recycling old liberal-Republican/RINO thinking.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, postpartum trauma and mental-health struggles many women experience are real, along with flaws in the healthcare system and medication, yet most mothers do not execute their children as Lindsay Clancy did. At a minimum manslaughter would have been appropriate rather than the near-acquittal that 11 of 12 jurors favored. After a long trial and deliberations the case ended in mistrial when one hero male juror refused to acquit; the defense has since attacked that juror, which is outrageous. Also, the Democrats are always focusing on Israel and Bejamin Netanyahu—a small elected ally that does not seek to kill Americans or sponsor terrorism—with the lack of attention to actual enemies such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar’s role in 9/11, Egypt as home of the Muslim Brotherhood, and other Islamist dictatorships that have killed U.S. citizens. The claims of genocide and starvation in Gaza have been repeatedly disproven even by hostile international bodies including the UN, with children now described as well-nourished, yet podcasters have neither retracted nor apologized for the repeated lies. Later, the jobs report cited a record number of jobs created—nearly three times what experts predicted—with manufacturing adding 16,000 positions last month and standing 58,000 above its December low, driven in part by demand for data-center equipment plus investments in drug manufacturing, defense production, and semiconductor plants. Data centers offer a massive upside for states, counties, and towns. The President is fully committed and ahead of the curve, matching or exceeding efforts by China, Israel, and India. Sen Bernie Sanders seeks a nationwide ban, attacking the capitalism that produces these jobs because it undercuts his Marxist ideology. Finally, Rep Byron Donalds calls in with an update on his campaign for Governor of Florida.  There is a lot of energy in Florida, but the outcome in 60 days depends on voters turning out to keep the free state of Florida under Republican control. Donalds explains that his opponent David Jolly is a Trojan horse for Democrat socialists in the mold of Abigail Spanberger, who stayed quiet on the trail then governed as a radical.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the Socialists, Marxists, and Islamists condemn America, its founding, and the Constitution. Any Democrat or DSA candidate who has stated they cannot abide the Constitution or seek to fundamentally alter it without amending it must not be seated in the next Congress, a position which is compelled by the Constitution itself. Article 6, Clause 3 requires senators, representatives, and other officers to be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution; they cannot be seated until they take that oath, which is a requirement of serving rather than a ceremonial act. Also, some conservative politicians who had been acting like pseudo-conservatives now appear to be shifting on AI data centers toward local control, leaving decisions to local governments and zoning boards. Just a week earlier the Luddites and radical leftists were serving the interests of communist China rather than America’s. Artificial intelligence is involved in many areas where it is wanted and will produce enormous community wealth that can fund positive things, lower taxes rather than raise them, and—if handled properly—not drive up electricity costs. Democrats, not data centers, have driven up energy prices for years. Later, steps must still be taken so that, if the Iranian regime collapses, people with a Western mentality who are friends of ours can take the reins; that is not the same as establishing a democracy. Allies need not be democracies. Arm the resistance and opposition and they will rise up. Afterward, Ryan Reynolds is an irrelevant actor who called the 1980s a “brutal time,” a “fu*king mess” of sociopolitical tension.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, arm the Iranian people, the time is now. The Reagan Doctrine worked. Let us not be risk averse in the middle of a war when we seek victory and thousands of Iranian people have been and are being slaughtered. We can't predict everything in a war, if we are not going to arm the Iranian people, then let's ask the Israelis to do so. They are likely less risk averse, and their Mossad certainly has a good handle on who is who there.  Also, there's a report that describes a growing Muslim political participation across the United States, from an all-Muslim city council in Hamtramck, Michigan, and influence in Dearborn to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s largely Muslim staff and 228 Muslim elected officials in 26 states. It reports that some candidates, including Abdul El-Sayed and Adam Hamawy, have received funds or maintained ties linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas-front groups, or figures connected to al-Qaeda. Islam does not separate religion from civic life and Sharia law practices are at odds with U.S. law. Later, a DSA member says he reads Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and Castro and rejects merely reforming capitalism with diversity, rainbows, or Black capitalism, arguing it will still suppress and consume the planet. This worldview is the worst form of totalitarianism because it refuses any adjustment or improvement of existing institutions and instead demands the destruction of capitalism and private property. Afterward, the media portrayed Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi, as a peaceful “boy scout” exercising free speech and advocating for Palestinian rights, but a 100-page investigation documents a previously unseen record of support for terrorists, terrorist organizations, and armed violence. The report unearths statements in which Mahdawi promised to “annihilate the Jews,” praised Hamas, honored dead terrorists, and bragged that Palestinians have the capacity and conviction to resist, kill, and wound; similar violence-tinged postings continued as recently as 2024 while he was on U.S. soil.
