The Best Of Mark Levin - 5/23/26

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Rep, Thomas Massie must be defeated in Tuesday’s election. Massie is backed by Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rashida Tlaib, and the ACLU. Massie is a reliable Democrat vote and Trump needs Republicans who will help him get his major agenda/bills passed. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani keeps pushing his government-run grocery stores, but New Yorkers would starve without private grocers and would need to travel to other states for food. Then, when we suddenly hit the brakes and called off the planned military operation against the Iranian regime, it was clear that something was going on. We gave the regime 2-3 days to come to some arrangement that presumably includes no nukes. What does no nukes mean? The regime is a borderless religious extremist cult that has repeatedly cheated on agreements and seeks conquest, not coexistence. The core concern is the lack of credible nuclear enforcement because the regime will violate any deal and that future U.S. leaders may lack the political will to respond. Later, Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is a profoundly disturbed individual whom Democrats refuse to disavow because they prioritize power above all else. Platner, who’s a self-described Communist, trashes American troops and police and he must be stopped from reaching the Senate. The Iranian regime has no intention of honoring any deal. They view negotiations merely as opportunities to delay while pursuing their goal of conquering and converting others through violence, as they believe Allah commands. The regime exists not to govern but to expand its influence worldwide. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump has canceled plans to attend his son Donald Trump Jr’s wedding and instead remains at the White House, which might be a signal that the clock is ticking and decisive action against Iran may be imminent. It looks like the Iranian regime is digging in its heels and the President has had enough. It is critical that this ends the right way by defeating the enemy. If there was a deal, does anyone seriously believe the Iranian Nazi terror regime will adhere to it over time? And if you do, based on what? They exist to conquer, devour, and destroy. And believe this is commanded by Allah. By any means. Also, the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization with members operating openly in the US and Europe seeking to conquer and destroy Western societies rather than assimilate, having already taken control of many cities in Britain, France, and the rest of Europe. The Democrat Party is becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood by nominating, electing, and collaborating with these figures without denunciation. The Woke Reich serves this agenda from within while the MAGA movement remains unified in strong support of the president. Later, Rep Hakeem Jeffries has a brother, Hassan Kwame Jeffries, who’s an extremist. He invoked abolitionist John Brown’s philosophy of violence, quoting Brown’s statement that the crimes of the land would never be purged without blood and declaring that White supremacists must be eliminated “by any means necessary.” This is a larger pattern in which university employees normalize political violence. Afterward, Welles Crowther, the "man in the red bandana," saved more than 18 lives on 9/11 and today Trump posthumously awarded him the Presidential medal of freedom. Almost 25 years after 9/11, when the city suffered such hell at the hands of Islamists, they elected Zohran Mamdani as Mayor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the Iranian regime has no intention of honoring any deal. They view negotiations merely as opportunities to delay while pursuing their goal of conquering and converting others through violence, as they believe Allah commands. The regime exists not to govern but to expand its influence worldwide. Also, Mount Zion—the literal 4,000-year-old birthplace of Judaism in what critics call Israel’s disputed or occupied territory—predates Islam, Christianity, and any notion of Palestinians. Jew-haters and Israel-haters use “Zionist” as a supposed distinction from “Jew,” yet there would be no Jews without Mount Zion. Under President Polk, when Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, and California were added 180 years ago despite Mexico’s claims; no one today debates those states as “occupied territory,” nor questions that Americans live on land taken from Indian tribes 140 years ago. Yet Israel must endlessly defend its far older homeland against the same logic. Later, the birthright citizenship Supreme Court decision will demand courage to rule correctly - failure to do so would inflict severe, lasting damage on the nation. Some weaker Republican justices may uphold the status quo to avoid intense personal backlash from the left while the left operates a well-organized, networked, and well-funded militia that confronts ICE and local police across the country. Finally, with the election on Tuesday Rep Chip Roy calls in to update his run for Texas Attorney General. Roy also talks about the effort to Islamify Texas. Islam is primarily a political ideology masquerading behind the First Amendment to wage jihad against the West. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is a profoundly disturbed individual whom Democrats refuse to disavow because they prioritize power above all else. Platner, who’s a self-described Communist, trashes American troops and police and he must be stopped from reaching the Senate. Then there’s a woman running in the Democrat primary for Texas’s 35th congressional district who advocated placing Zionists in concentration camps and worse. Jewish elected Democrats need to leave this party, which is now the party of Islamists, Marxists, and neo-Nazis. Also, WABC’s John Catsimatidis calls in to discuss the difficulties of running supermarkets in NYC and the proposal by Mayor Mamdani for city government-run grocery stores. He argued that government stores giving away these products would take sales from private businesses, harming the workers who labor 70-80 hours a week and ultimately burdening taxpayers when the city absorbs the losses, while politicians face no consequences. Later, Gad Saad calls in to discuss his new book - Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind. This book is not an attack on empathy itself—an evolutionarily relevant virtue rooted in theory of mind or cognitive empathy that enables good human interactions—but rather a warning against its hyper-firing in the wrong situations toward the wrong targets. This critique of maladaptively irrational altruism has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities.  Afterward, America First Legal (AFL) and the Trump Administration secured a major victory for peace and the rule of law by settling Jackson et al. v. Trump et al., a lawsuit that enforces the Taylor Force Act and ends U.S. funding of the Palestinian Authority’s “Pay to Slay” program. This agreement is a durable enforcement of federal law that honors victims, prevents taxpayer subsidization of terror, and advances President Trump’s commitment to peace.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, when we suddenly hit the brakes and called off the planned military operation against the Iranian regime, it was clear that something was going on. We gave the regime 2-3 days to come to some arrangement that presumably includes no nukes. What does no nukes mean? The regime is a borderless religious extremist cult that has repeatedly cheated on agreements and seeks conquest, not coexistence. The core concern is the lack of credible nuclear enforcement because the regime will violate any deal and that future U.S. leaders may lack the political will to respond. Also, the truth about war powers. No president, of either party, has accepted the constitutionality of the 1973 War Powers Act. The Supreme Court has never ruled on the Act's constitutionality and likely never will. The only power Congress has to prevent a military operation is the power of the purse. A president has broad power to take military action. Later, in breaking news Ed Gallrein defeats Rep Thomas Massie in the Kentucky House primary, after Massie tried to win votes by blaming Jews and the Israeli lobby. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show,  President Trump decided to postpone a planned military attack on Iran at the urging of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE – so much for the Woke Reich’s talk of Israel controlling the President. Iran’s regime must be removed for lasting peace. Also, Rep Thomas Massie must be defeated in Tuesday’s election. Massie is backed by Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rashida Tlaib, and the ACLU.  Massie is a reliable Democrat vote and Trump needs Republicans who will help him get his major agenda/bills passed. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani keeps pushing his government-run grocery stores, but New Yorkers would starve without private grocers and would need to travel to other states for food. The government produces, harvests, packages, and transports nothing, and any price cuts would simply move money from one pocket to another without creating value. Afterward, Sen Dave McCormick calls in and explains that Democratic criticism of the Iran war is hypocritical, noting that Democrats had long opposed Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon yet now attack the effort to stop it. He also breaks down his Unlock American Energy and Jobs Act. Finally, a history lesson on the electoral college. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is a radical leftist who seeks to destroy the country’s legal, judicial, and electoral systems. He's demanding that the courts deliver whatever his party demands and, in doing so, he is also trying to intimidate the justices of the Supreme Court. He says, "everything is on the table," but the Constitution belongs to all of us and is not on the table. Later, the situation in New York City, where Jews, synagogues, and Jewish neighborhoods face violent attacks, hounding, and harassment, is a disaster and disgrace—but it is occurring across the entire country. The ruling class is to blame, particularly intensified under the Biden administration, with open borders, efforts to undermine ICE and border patrol, and the failure to remove threats. Urgent action is required: take every legal and law enforcement step to deport imams and phony scholars, shut down groups like CAIR, and defund and clean out colleges and universities. Also, people are fleeing blue states, which are depopulating, while red states are gaining population through domestic migration. In NYC, Mamdani is actively trying to force out the Jewish community, then the Christian community and capitalists, in order to transform the city into a Marxist Islamist one, regardless of resulting poverty or debt. Both Marxism and Islamism are incompatible with Americanism, rooted in Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values of live-and-let-live, as they demand destruction or compliance. Mayor Mamdani has yet to come out with a forceful emotional condemnation of Islamo-Nazis brutalizing and harassing Jews in New York communities and synagogues. He is deliberately pushing Jews, businesses, and the middle class out of New York through high property taxes and a phony budget involving wealth redistribution - aiming to transform the city into an Islamist capital.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, need any more proof that the Iranian Regime needs to be taken out? A suspected terrorist commander linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the terror group Khalib Hezbollah, was arrested in Turkey and brought to New York City federal court. He is accused of directing or plotting nearly 20 attacks across Europe and Canada in response to the Iran conflict. Prosecutors say he urged killing Americans and Jews to punish U.S. and Israeli interests. How can anyone seriously think we can manage the Iranian regime for the next 20 years? They have got to go! Meanwhile, a global network of about 425 organizations—including communist groups, Muslim advocacy organizations, and anti-Israel coalitions with a combined $1 billion in annual revenues—is coordinating 736 "Nakba 78" protests across 39 countries this weekend to mark the 78th anniversary of Israel's founding, which they call the "catastrophe." This is the fusion of the Marxists and Islamists. America is under internal attack fueled by foreign money from Communist China, Qatar, and others, with recent events in New York being deliberately planned, funded, and organized. The government must follow the money, deport and denaturalize threats, as Democrats enable Marxists and Islamists who run under their banner. Later, Ed Gallrein calls in to discuss his run against Rep Thomas Massie in Kentucky. He warns that failing to seize this narrow window of opportunity would lead history to punish future generations, and he fully supports the President's approach to reshaping the world, centered on economic power for peace and prosperity, with the military as one tool. Also, in breaking news – the Supreme Court rejected an emergency appeal by Virginia Democratic lawmakers to revive redrawn congressional maps, previously approved by voters but struck down by the Virginia Supreme Court, that could have netted Democrats up to four additional seats. Democrats are now attacking the Court’s integrity to justify packing it with ideological allies, while simultaneously seeking to eliminate the Electoral College, add D.C. and Puerto Rico as states to lock in Senate control, dominate state supreme courts, and exploit the counting of illegal aliens for congressional seats—all in pursuit of absolute power and a permanent one-party state, just like New York and California. This is a totalitarian mindset that disregards constitutional limits. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, Mayor Mamdani has yet to come out with a forceful emotional condemnation of Islamo-Nazis brutalizing and harassing Jews in New York communities and synagogues. He is deliberately pushing Jews, businesses, and the middle class out of New York through high property taxes and a phony budget involving wealth redistribution - aiming to transform the city into an Islamist capital. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris called for a “no bad ideas” brainstorm targeting the Electoral College, Supreme Court “reform,” statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C., and blue states expanding maps. Democrats believe the Constitution itself is up for grabs if they control Congress and the presidency, and they intend to bulldoze through its protections rather than amend it properly. The Democrat Party the most radicalized and destructive in American history, a Marxist offspring determined to destroy the republic’s constitutional framework. Later, China has billions poured into U.S. colleges to destroy them, land purchases near military bases, technology theft, cyber operations, massive military buildup aimed at the U.S. and allies, support for Iran's regime, artificial islands and territorial claims in the South China Sea. This doesn’t sound like a country that wants to work with us. Gordon Chang calls in and describes Xi Jinping as arrogant for invoking the Thucydides Trap during his conversation with President Trump at the Great Hall ceremony, signaling that a rising China is challenging a United States in terminal decline. Xi reinforced this by referring to a “new era” in which China rules the world, delivering a double-barreled insult to the U.S. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, people are fleeing blue states, which are depopulating, while red states are gaining population through domestic migration. In NYC, Mamdani is actively trying to force out the Jewish community, then the Christian community and capitalists, in order to transform the city into a Marxist Islamist one, regardless of resulting poverty or debt. Both Marxism and Islamism are incompatible with Americanism, rooted in Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values of live-and-let-live, as they demand destruction or compliance. We need urgent legal strategies on immigration to combat anti-Semitism, and a full-scale movement starting in places like NYC. Also, the Washington Post reports on a confidential Pentagon assessment, which was a leak, and it highlights shifts favoring China in military, economic, and diplomatic spheres. This leak is diabolical and this article is Chinese propaganda. But understand – China is our enemy. Later, the Iranian regime needs to be destroyed now to prevent future nuclear weapons. We need to arm the people of Iran and get an absolute victory against the regime.  Afterward, the New York Times is attacking President Trump's proposed Golden Dome missile defense system, which aims to protect the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii from nuclear attack using multiple defensive layers. A purely defensive system is essential against threats from Iran, terrorists, and potential nuclear suicide bombers, yet Democrats prioritize other spending such as health care for illegal aliens.
