10/31/25 - Polls Don't Lie: Republicans on the Rise Amid Shutdown

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Zohran Mamdani is launching a war on Americanism. It’s an effort to destroy the glue that holds the society together. There are these podcasters with big companies and foreign money behind them who haven’t contributed anything to the country. Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes haven’t done anything for the country, merely grifting for profit. Those with microphones must speak out and uphold integrity, honesty, and confront poisonous ideologies—left or right—that threaten the country, the culture and the party. Jews and Christians are under attack from these podcasters. Carlson is part of the enemy within. Zohran Mamdani’s rise for New York City mayor was meticulously engineered by George Soros cash and socialist groups. They’ve been grooming him for 10 years. This model extends nationwide, propelling similar candidates like Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and Virginia Lt. Governor candidate Ghazala Hashmi. Israel does not control President Trump, nor has it controlled any past president. Israel is not "ethnic" cleansing, that would be the motivations and intentions of the Islamist terrorists -- throughout the Middle East and Africa. The multiple and unprecedented steps it has taken to try to limit casualties, at the cost of IDF soldiers' lives and increasing the longevity of the war in Gaza, is no secret, and we were not ethnic cleansing when we destroyed multiple population centers in Europe and Japan during World War II.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. It’s chilling that anti-American Senate Democrats voted against pay for military and essential workers amid the 31-day government shutdown. These Democrats are making them political pawns. President ​Trump ​is doing what he can - he ​ordered ​​all ​available ​funds ​to ​be ​identified ​and ​allocated ​to ​cover ​the ​$5.3 ​billion ​​payday. The average American hasn’t felt this shutdown and Republican polling has surged during it. This ​is ​the ​second ​longest shutdown, ​closing ​in ​on ​those ​35 ​days ​of ​the ​longest ​that ​we ​had ​back ​in ​2019 ​during ​Trump's ​first ​term. ​You ​don't ​even ​remember ​that and 2019 was a great year. Later, two federal judges expect the Trump administration wave a magic wand and come up with money to pay SNAP, which expires Saturday. It’s also chilling that Jack Smith weaponized the DOJ by issuing 197 subpoenas to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, targeting records of over 430 Republicans and entities creating an "enemies list.” This government overreach against political opposition is unsurprising after the Trump-Russia hoax and impeachments. Afterward, in the past 31 days, Trump has neutralized nearly a third of drug-running boats entering the US, secured $5 billion in tariffs and most-favored-nation status, negotiated AstraZeneca's prescription drug pricing to save Americans over $15 billion annually while attracting $50 billion in domestic R&D investments, finalized a Chinese trade deal ending the US soybean embargo and promising a fentanyl crackdown, and lifted the estimated economic growth rate to 3.9% per the Atlanta Fed GDP tracker.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, of course, Israel does not control President Trump, nor has it controlled any past president. Israel is not "ethnic" cleansing, that would be the motivations and intentions of the Islamist terrorists -- throughout the Middle East and Africa.  The multiple and unprecedented steps it has taken to try to limit casualties, at the cost of IDF soldiers' lives and increasing the longevity of the war in Gaza, is no secret,  and we were not ethnic cleansing when we destroyed multiple population centers in Europe and Japan during World War II. Israel is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious society and a democracy.  The only one in the Middle East.  How many Christians and Jews remain in Arab and Muslim countries in the Middle East, and for those few who are left, are they treated equally?  These are basic facts. Later, we’re at a time where constitutional conservatives and their institutions are being tested.  It's simple for people of real faith to reject evil and stand firm in the battle of ideas, rather than equivocate due to conflicts. America faces a turning point; platforms, think tanks, politicians must choose and reveal if they're pretenders or defenders of liberty, as Reagan warned freedom is one generation from extinction.  Also, capitalism is the only humane economic system. Economic socialism is an inhumane economic system. Socialism ​promotes ​the ​welfare ​state. ​Capitalism ​promotes ​the ​individual. Zohran Mamdani has ​no ​idea how ​to ​do ​anything except ​use ​the ​iron ​fist ​of ​government ​to ​impose ​his ​ideology. He is calling for a massive welfare state. Afterward, America First prioritizes the exceptional nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles and Enlightenment ideals—the Declaration of Independence and unparalleled Constitution—with limited representative government, federalism, God-given unalienable rights, and strong federal roles in national security, borders, and sound money. It rejects suicidal isolationism. Finally, Rep Byron Donalds calls in to discuss the government shutdown. He exposes the Democrats hypocrisy, pointing out Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats voted for the identical measure in March. Donalds argues they're posturing as tough guys to appease the crazy radical left and thwart Trump and MAGA, but lack real policies or ideas to help Americans, instead leading the country down the wrong road.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show,  Zohran Mamdani’s rise for New York City mayor was meticulously engineered by George Soros cash and socialist groups. They’ve been grooming him for 10 years. This model extends nationwide, propelling similar candidates like Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and Virginia Lt. Governor candidate Ghazala Hashmi. This fusion of Marxism and Islamism is spreading.  We can’t allow them to devour our society. Also, it looks like the Biden regime had a Stasi headed by Jack Smith. Sen Chuck Grassley has released 197 FBI subpoenas from the Biden administration's "Arctic Frost" investigation, which looked like a Biden administration enemies list. Later, Obamacare is an unworkable, unaffordable disaster from day one, with premiums set to skyrocket due to Democrat expansions during the pandemic that inflated costs across Medicare, Medicaid, and private plans.  Democrats are lying about its benefits, interfering with markets to push for universal healthcare—including for illegal aliens—while gutting $700 billion from Medicare and eyeing employer plans.  Afterward, Democrats and the media have relentlessly portrayed climate change as an "existential" threat over the past decade. Now, billionaire Bill Gates has abruptly declared it's not existential, pivoting to calls for helping the poor and needy instead, a shift the media eagerly echoes. This vindicates the skeptics long smeared as "climate deniers" by the likes of NBC's Chuck Todd. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, there are times when you must confront evil. Mark Levin has been fighting for the conservative movement for over 55 years. There are these podcasters with big companies and foreign money behind them who haven’t contributed anything to the country.  Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes haven’t done anything for the country, merely grifting for profit. Those with microphones must speak out and uphold integrity, honesty, and confront poisonous ideologies—left or right—that threaten the country, the culture and the party.  Jews and Christians are under attack from these podcasters. Carlson is part of the enemy within. Also, Zohran Mamdani is a Marxist-Islamist bigot who hates America, Jews, and moderate Muslims as he smears the NYPD and IDF/Israel.  His rhetoric sounds like Fuentes and Carlson. The NYPD is in for a horrific for years if Mamdani is elected as NYC Mayor.  Later, the United States could be on track to lose a conventional war with China primarily due to a critical shortfall in industrial capacity to rebuild after initial combat waves. America lacks the ability to rapidly produce ships or tanks, while China excels at building them in massive quantities and at high speed. For over a decade, Communist China has operated on a war footing, aggressively preparing for expansionist imperialism and colonialism. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Zohran Mamdani claimed that his aunt stopped taking the NYC subway after 9/11 due to feeling unsafe in her hijab, basically calling New Yorkers bigots. But it turns out his story is false: his aunt lived and worked in Tanzania, never took the NYC subway, and was unaffected. Then you have Mahmood Mamdani, Zohran’s father, who teaches anti-Americanism, hate, and terrorism, and claims America originated settler colonialism—exported worldwide, with Abraham Lincoln inspiring Hitler's genocide, concentration camps, and Nuremberg Laws patterned after U.S. laws. This Marxist-Islamist ideology blames America for fascism, imperialism, racism, and bigotry. Mamdani is launching a war on Americanism. It’s an effort to destroy the glue that holds the society together. Later, Gov Gavin Newsom is a disaster and is unfit for the presidency. He ruined California —once prosperous, wealthy, low-taxed, law-respecting, with top universities and unmatched beauty—by turning it into a third world-like state through open borders, economic dislocation, massive wealth redistribution and taxation, control by radical environmentalists and teachers unions, wokeism, and cultural destruction. Afterward, Speaker Mike Johnson calls in and rejects the Democrats approach to healthcare, because they have no reform plan and are doubling down on the subsidized, failing Obamacare program, intentionally designed to collapse into single-payer government control. He dismisses Democrat talking points which lack good ideas and aim for total government control over lives. Republicans are the only party with ideas to fix healthcare by making it affordable, accessible, and higher quality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on the Mark Levin Show, On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, 7 million old hippies turned out in the Democrat-Marxist-Islamist No Kings mini-parades on Saturday? Well, 330 million Americans did not. The tea party movements had massive rallies, and it wasn’t just one day. How is this President a king? He’s working through the courts when he’s blocked on improving America. For example, in a victory for America the 9th Circuit court ruled that the National Guard can be deployed in Portland. Also, Democrats turned a continuing resolution into a government shutdown blackmail threat to reverse provisions of the big, beautiful bill. Later, Marxist-Islamist Zohran Mamdani is pro-terrorism - from his associations with Imam Siraj Wahaj, his support for Hamas, his calls to globalize the Intifada, and his ties to the Qatar royal family. If people in NYC vote for Mamdani, they are voting for somebody who embraces terrorists, terrorist organizations, and hence, by implication, terrorism. Mamdani is no moderate, he’s a grave threat to the people in New York City. Phase II of the Gaza peace plan is the most challenging due to Hamas, which refuses to disarm or leave Gaza, abuses Palestinians, murders IDF soldiers, and repeatedly violates the ceasefire. Despite warnings from President Trump of potential obliteration, Hamas persists. Qatar's emir, a major Hamas funder and host to its leaders, accuses Israel of genocide and ceasefire breaches while calling for a Palestinian state. Turkey's Erdogan similarly harbors Hamas leaders, threatens Israel, and takes provocative actions. The ceasefire must be enforced urgently to stop ongoing murders and torture, and support should be given to Trump if he orders military action against Hamas. Mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy, and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Zohran Mamdani got his butt kicked at the NYC debate. He’s a sloganeer, which is typical of Marxists, but he won’t be substantive at all. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, the Democrat party is surrendering to the Islamist Marxists. What would New York City look like if Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor? We know what will happened because we know history. The question is will the failure be quick or slow. NYC will see an increased radicalization of the city with more crime. Housing, retail and grocery stores will suffer.  Mamdani has no private sector experience and was only an ineffective assemblyman, speaking in vacuous phrases while attacking New York City. He trash-talks the country and its affordability, particularly grocery stores. American supermarkets are miracles of capitalism unmatched globally, and Mamdani wants the government to run them. Later, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna posts a misleading claim that Benjamin Netanyahu overrode President Trump and said the US can't stop annexation, but Netanyahu never said that and has clarified no annexation will occur under Trump or amid peace efforts.  Finally, Bret Baier calls in to discuss his new book - To Rescue the American Spirit: Teddy Roosevelt and the Birth of a Superpower.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, there was a major FBI bust of an illegal sports betting scheme involving four NBA teams (Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Lakers, Toronto Raptors) and four mafia families (Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, Lucchese), netting over $7 million. The NBA Has a problem, people need to have faith in the game. This is a massive blackeye for the NBA. Also, those who say ​that ​Israel ​will ​never ​annex ​the ​West Bank (Judea ​and ​Samaria), ​have ​no ​idea ​what's ​taking ​place ​in ​the ​West ​Bank. Israel ​will ​do ​whatever ​it ​chooses ​to ​do. The recent Knesset vote on annexation was initiated by the left to divide conservatives and the administration. If ​​Judea ​and ​Samaria ​don't ​belong ​to ​the ​Jews, ​who ​does ​it ​belong ​to? Shiloh's history proves Judea and Samaria as ancestral Jewish homeland is crucial to Judaism and Christianity. Later, Zohran Mamdani got his butt kicked at the NYC debate. He’s a sloganeer, which is typical of Marxists, but he won’t be substantive at all. Afterward, Obamacare is a lie focused on centralization and control rather than affordability, leading to loss of civil liberties, restricted benefits, and second-rate care where patients can't access desired doctors, hospitals, or medicines. It’s just like socialist systems in Canada and Britain, from which people flee to the US for better care, yet Democrats aim to mimic them. Democrats caused the government shutdown to maintain and expand Obamacare subsidies and reinstate benefits for illegal aliens, refusing reforms and relying on media to blame Republicans, ultimately destroying Medicare, Medicaid, and employee insurance by inflating healthcare costs. Finally, a Daily Mail article predicts Christianity's decline as America's majority religion amid Islam's rise. U.S. was founded on tolerant Judeo-Christian values fused with Enlightenment, rejected by Marxists and Islamists. This ideological clash threatens free society's survival.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Jeffrey Rosen calls in to discuss his new book, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America. Rosen explains the enduring clash between Hamilton's vision of a strong federal government and powerful executive, and Jefferson's emphasis on states' rights and individual liberties.  Also, Phase two of the Gaza peace plan is highly complex involving numerous countries, governments, and figures like Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, and Dermer, who deserve credit for their efforts. However, Hamas, a terrorist group per its 1988 charter calling for Israel's destruction via jihad, establishment of an Islamic state under Sharia, rejection of negotiations, and anti-Semitic rhetoric, refuses to disarm or surrender, instead centralizing power by torturing and killing challengers among Palestinians. The world, including the UN, universities, and Hamas supporters, remains silent on Hamas's slaughter of fellow Palestinians. Qatar's Emir condemns Israel as committing genocide in Gaza, reaffirms support for Palestine without denouncing Hamas, while Turkey's Erdogan blocks Netanyahu from a regional meeting. Israel previously surrounded and nearly destroyed Hamas but withdrew for peace and international pressure; now, hesitant Arab/Muslim nations refuse troops in Gaza, leaving Israel and the IDF to eliminate Hamas for lasting peace.
