On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, an Egyptian national, illegally in the U.S. allegedly attacked Jewish Americans, including a Holocaust survivor, in Boulder, Colorado. The Biden administration’s lax vetting and work permit issuance enabled this incident. How many people do we have like this in America? Immigration should benefit American citizens, who decide who enters and why. Immigrants must respect and contribute to the country or leave. It’s not for importing Islamists, Marxists, criminals, spies, or anti-Semites. Also, several questions come to mind on the published reports of an Iran deal. How do we know the Iranians will reveal all enrichment sites and enriched material to this consortium? Will we have access to their country to inspect anywhere we wish? Won’t the Iranians play along for a few years and then, after the initial period and after the Trump presidency is over, thumb its nose at the world and breakout? Later, Sen Ted Cruz calls in to discuss the Democrats and federal judges who hare undermining the Constitution and the rule of law. Democrats are supporting lawless rouge judges who issue nationwide injunctions to block the Trump administration’s agenda. He also criticizes Democrats for hypocrisy, pointing to their silence when mobs protested at Supreme Court justices’ homes and their attacks on justices like Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Afterwards, Mark contrasts Alexander Hamilton’s vision of a strong central government with Jefferson and Madison’s preference for limited federal power and strong state authority. Hamilton’s ideas, like a lifelong executive and senators, were rejected by most framers, who favored state-centric governance, as Madison emphasized in Federalist 45. Hamilton’s support for implied powers (Federalist 33) appeals to modern advocates of activist government. Finally, Miranda Devine calls in to discuss Anthony Bernal, Jill Biden’s chief of staff, who played a role in concealing Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his presidency. Described as Jill’s “work husband,” Bernal is portrayed as a powerful, behind-the-scenes figure who wielded enormous influence in the White House.

Segment 1
How are you doing, folks? Well, there is a deal. It’s published in several news organizations, including some news organizations that are actually typically reliable anyway. Who knows about this? And I may dig into this a little bit with you on our to have already posted my response. If you’re curious to look on social media and I want you to understand, you and I, we are coming from the same position. That is when I raise questions about any potential deal. I’m raising questions that I feel are legitimate and in the best interest of the United States. We you and I have not been involved in this process. I kind of regret that. I wish that there had been some role for the Senate, at least given their treaty power, at least the leadership there, and for we the people. Whatever is decided affects you and me, all of us, just as it does under Democrats and Republicans alike, of course. But at some point it will be public and certainly aspects of it, or at least purportedly. Are public if they’re accurate. And the long and the short of it is they set up some kind of consortium on a Persian island where the with a nuclear material would be processed at around 3%, give or take, as I understand it. Not going above the 3.67% level. And who would be the watchman over? That is not clear to me. They talking about a consortium? That concerns me. The fact that it’s on a Persian island, an Iranian island. That concerns me. But I’ll tell you what concerns me most. This is sort of an interim period of time in which this would occur. And then ultimately, it’s said that they would eliminate what they have. What if they don’t? And how do we know about all their sites? And I can go on and on and on. So I have a concern here. I just. I. I’m not sure I understand why we’re taking these measures. The Iranian military is weaker than it’s ever been. Its air defenses are weaker than they’ve ever been, although they’ve built them up over the last couple of months while we’ve been negotiating with them. But they’re stolen, not what they were. And during this multi-year period, of course, they’re going to muscle up big time with the help of the North Koreans, the communist Chinese, and, of course, the Russians in terms of their air defenses. And so they’re going to want to buy time. I don’t even know if the Iranians will agree to this, but I’ll get into it a little bit more detail. Based on published reports in the next hour, maybe hour three, we’ll see. There are other things I want to hear, but this is very important. This is very, very important. And I want to inform you about it. It’s really nobody else’s. I mean, whether an enemy country, a terrorist regime as a nuclear weapon that’s keeps talking about destroying us, it seems to me that’s that’s the first story of business. Are there other things going on in the country as well? Now, this guy who tried to murder these elderly women with a self-made fire, blow torch and Molotov cocktails. He’s got five children and a wife here. I’m thinking of my five children in our life. This guy comes here illegally on a tourist visa and then through the Biden regime, then the Biden regime, really, without any vetting, gives him a work permit. He violates that deadline, too. He’s got five children here in the United States, presumably using our public schools, presumably using our health care system, presumably using our resources and his wife. And he hates us. And he hates the country. How many people like this are in this country? I wonder when the Supreme Court makes its decision on birthright citizenship. I hope they’re paying attention to all these national security issues. Because that’s a big deal, too, if not the biggest. Somebody comes here, they’re pregnant. They come here from an enemy country. A country that hates us. They have children here. Then you’ll hear while we can’t separate the children from the parents. Okay, All of you can leave. No, no, no. We can’t do that. Then we get the sob stories. About how they been? Have they have their homes here? And they’re been here for several. Who cares? And I haven’t heard a cacophony, if you will, a chorus. Of Democrats. And they’re always out there screaming, you know, whether it’s Elon Musk or Hitler. TRUMP Whatever it is. Condemning this. Condemning Biden. Condemning what’s taking place here. I haven’t heard it. Oh, there’s one here in there. But not their typical organized. Attack mode. And they don’t want to discuss this. And the media to a great extent wants to sweep this under the rug. You know, they do a hit and run and then they move on. Carolyn Levitt has been fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. In her comments about this. And I’m looking here. Give me a second. Let’s go to cut K-12, Mr. Producer. Yes, go right ahead. According to reporting from Fox News, the alleged attacker admitted in an interview that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and had been planning the attack for over a year and would do it again if he could. This monster used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to light Jewish Americans on fire and then attempt to burn them alive. The victims at the incident location in Boulder were there to rally in support of Israeli hostages who remain in Hamas captivity. 12 were injured, including a Holocaust survivor. This is pure evil. The Department of Justice has already filed federal hate crime charges against the alleged perpetrator, and he will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. This tragedy is a sobering reminder of the consequences of the Biden administration’s failed policies. According to the Department of Homeland Security. The Boulder suspect is an Egyptian national who was in the United States illegally. He entered the US during the Biden administration in August 2022 on a B2 visa until it expired upon the visa expiration. He overstayed. Filed an asylum claim and was given a work authorization by the Biden administration. Instead of deporting this heinous individual, Joe Biden’s administration allowed him to stay in our country and to work. President Trump sounded the alarm over these reckless Biden policies for years because this is the predictable result of letting anti-American radicals and illegal immigrants pour into our country. Immigration. Security is national security. Hmm. Excellent. Cut 13 go. The president has made it very clear, as he said in his statement yesterday, that, yes, these anti-Semitic acts of violence are, quote, do qualify as terrorism, and he does not want to see terrorism or violence of any form taking place in the United States of America. And as for specifically anti-Semitic terrorism and anti-Semitic acts of violence and those that are targeting Jewish Americans, this administration has done more to combat that violence than any administration in history. And one incident is one too many. And I think, frankly, that’s something the previous administration was not willing to say. This president will stand up for Americans of all religions, of all faiths, of all creeds. And we will continue to look at policy measures and actions that we can take in addition to the actions that have already been taken to curb this anti-Semitic violence in to Jewish Americans at home across the country. This president has your back. You know, she’s 100% right in what she says and where the president stands. 100% correct. And I’m grateful for Donald Trump. Grateful? Joe Biden would never have done any of this. In fact, he didn’t. Neither did the people who ran his government. They didn’t do anything. I hear almost nothing from the Democrats in Congress. Do you folks seriously, if you’re hearing a lot from Democrats in Congress, other than this is a terrible thing and people shouldn’t resort to violence and then they move on. Let me know. Let Mr. Producer know, Colin. You see no concerted effort by the Democrats to push back on any of this. Why? Because these are their universities. These are they’re immigrants. I’m being honest. They’re migrants. These are their judges. These were their border policies. That was their Department of Justice. That was the Department of Education, which did all but nothing. And now this entire situation is blown up. And it’s going to get worse before it gets better, much worse. A lot of people say I predicted there’d be terrorism. Everybody did. You’d have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see it. Hear it? No, it. And it is going to get worse. And we still have these activists, left wing judges who are endangering our country. Fighting over whether we should have even exported Venezuelan international gang thugs. Who’ve done grave damage to our country. And we’re set here by the communist dictator of Venezuela. Illegally open borders. And they want us to run through a whole. Bunch of procedures which they claim are constitutionally compelled. And they’re not. And they’re not, you know, in a different era. In a different era. Everybody understood this. The press, both parties. Prosecutors and judges. That people like this needed to be removed and removed as quickly as possible, that there was no damage being done to due process or. Freedom of speech or anything of the kind. In fact, the whole goal here is to ensure our country, with its great liberties and rights, survives. But that’s not the way it’s working today. Today we are, as Lincoln would say, a country divided against itself. We are divided against ourselves. Not you and me. We have Marxist Islamists elements in this country who want to take it down in any way possible. In any way possible. They hate the cops. They hate the military. They hate our borders. You hate the cops, you hate our military. You hate our borders. Then you are. A supporter of rampant violence. Because it’s the cops. It’s the military. And the existence of our sovereignty, our borders that secures our liberty. Caroline Levitt’s comments, Donald Trump’s comments and actions in fighting antisemitism and trying to defend the Jewish community is unprecedented. Unprecedented. And so when you hear the Democrats throwing their barbs and their personal attacks. When you hear this sort of thing. Just remember who it’s coming from. Just remember. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Jason Crow on CNN today. Who’s here? A dummy-crat from Colorado. These people never learn. They just are pathetic. Cut 14, Go. Well, President Trump routinely just attacks his opponents when terrible things happen. And that’s not leadership. That’s not the type of leadership. I’ve seen you Democrats. You attack no matter what. It’s Monday, you attack. It’s Tuesday. You attack with any day of the week, you attack. That’s all you’ve got. People keep saying, what do they stand for? That’s what they stand for. Attack, attack, attack. Go ahead. Of course Wisconsin comes up. I must call them. Done something or other. Mr. Producer, I don’t think I will. Go ahead. Visa overstay and a visa overstay is not has nothing to do with a border. You know, I believe in border security. We need border security. But in this incident, it doesn’t look like that is what is at play here at all. And we need to enforce the laws. There’s no doubt about it. But President Trump, I don’t even understand your point, moron. Yes, border security is crucially important. And border security is part of immigration and visas are part of immigration, too. What is it that you don’t comprehend, moron? Did somebody say the guy snuck over the border illegally? I didn’t hear that. They said he got a tourism visa under the Biden regime. He overstayed it. His ass should have been kicked out, but instead he was handed a work permit. So he overstayed that status. He should have been kicked out again. Now. Other human beings were set on fire as a result of this man. And so your answer, Jason Crow, is what you have no answer. Because your party did this. Go ahead. For nearly six months now. And I want to know why an attack that had been planned for the entirety of that time was missed. You know, what did she say? This how it works. How is it missed? Here we’re trying to deport some of these people and they talk about due process. They talk about the contrary. How is it missed? Well, what did the guy do that was missed? What? Gasoline. In it itself, that doesn’t draw anybody’s attention. What else did he do? Used empty bottles. In and of itself that doesn’t try anybody’s attention. He tried to get a gun and he was prevented from getting a gun under our legal system. So now it’s Trump’s fault. You see, Jason Crow says, What are you blaming people for? It’s Trump’s fault. Don’t look over here. I’ll tell you what, you little nitwit. The man should never have been here. He should have been gone twice. And DHS. Under the direction of the president of the United States. They’re trying to find these people and remove them. But under your standards of which, there are none and the standards are the corrupt judiciary in this country. He didn’t commit a crime yet, so he shouldn’t be removed. What are you doing? He’s got five children and a wife here. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Our ICE agents are under attack by the Democrat Party, by members of Congress, by Democrats in the field. Our ICE agents now are under attack. Dan Goldman is this lowlife from New York. I’ve told you about him. He’s on some kind of podcast or something with Marcia Kramer. This guy was a former federal prosecutor in the Southern district of New York. What do you think about that? He’s such a lowlife, such a puke. Neither Coward. And so now. They come to the defense. Of Hamas, supporting of October seven, supporting even 911, supporting migrants who are in the country. It’s their First Amendment right, don’t you know? They hate America to push for the destruction of America, to put out talking points to destroy America. Just because they’re here as migrants on some limited visas, something doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have the full panoply of Bill of Rights protections. Yes, it does. We’ve never done that. And what do I know? I’ve only been studying this issue since I was 13. The newly pubescent are out there with their podcasts and. And the ACLU, which of course, is always concerned about America’s best interests and these lowlife defense lawyers. Well, they they take a different look at this, as do some of the fantastic slip and fall ambulance chasing lawyers who are now federal judges. Here’s Goldman cut 16 go. And I asked them, I said to them, what are you. What is the point here? What are you. Are you just trying to tally more arrests? I didn’t get any real response. And then I said to them, Why are you wearing masks? I was a federal prosecutor for ten years. I worked with ICE agents. Why? You should wear a mask, that’s for sure. I’ve seen your face. You should have a bag over your head. Looks like you were hit by a truck. And the truck won. Go ahead. I never saw any of them wear masks. This is brand new. And the question is, if everything is legitimate and proper, why are you wearing masks? To hide your face? You know. You know, dumb crap. It’s actually very simple. Why? I’m going to have the the former excuse me, the acting ICE director explain it to you. I don’t know what kind of former federal prosecutor you were, but if you’re anything like you are now, you’re a flop. You’re a phony. You’re a fraud. Here’s Todd Lyons, the acting ICE director. Cut 15. Go. I’m going to answer the question. So. No, no, not the mask. Done one and the mask. So a lot of agencies were invited to come out two weeks ago in Los Angeles, where we ran an operation where ICE offices were doxxed. So let’s just say that again, people are out there taking photos of the names, their faces, and posting them online with death threats to their family and themselves. So I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line and have family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is. They’re wearing those masks because we were in an operation with the Secret Service. We arrested someone that was going online, taking their photos, posting their families, their kids, Instagram your kids, Facebooks and targeting them. So let me ask, is is that the issue here that we’re just upset about the masks or is anyone upset with the fact that ICE office families were labeled terrorists? Well, I think Goldman he can’t even understand why you’re wearing masks. You understand these people who defend a guy like Garcia. Multiple times a wife abuser. MS13 member so found. Involved in human trafficking. That’s their idea of an ideal American citizen. Who should be given an amnesty right on the spot. Or the lowlife that was fronting for Hamas. Can you remember his name? What was that? Whatever. It doesn’t matter. Over at Columbia. No longer a student, of course. That’s right. Carlisle. That’s right. Carlisle. They hear Carlisle. Carlisle. You understand, folks, the purpose of immigration. It’s important to remind people the purpose of immigration. Is for we the people. The American people decide. We want foreigners to come into this country and after to come into their country. To what purpose are they coming into the country? They’re here to benefit us. We, the people, the American citizen. This is our country. It’s not the country of Congress. It’s not the country of any aspect of the federal. It’s your country. And so if we’re going to invite people in from other parts of the world, they’re supposed to behave themselves. They’re supposed to embrace our country. They’re supposed to contribute to the country or get the hell out. That’s it. That’s the point of immigration. Not to import Islamists, not to import Marxists, not to import murderers and rapists sent here by foreign governments. Not to import communist Chinese spies. No. Not to import anti-Semites from the Middle East. This whole thing’s been turned on its head. These judges don’t even understand why they exist. It’s disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. And this is what we’re up against. Rosa Cohen Cruz, director of immigration policy at the Bronx Defenders. In New York City today. Rosa Cohen. Crews cut 17 yo and today we stand united with the Legal Aid Society, with the Public Advocate and importantly, with city council challenging Mayor Adams attempt to agree to allow ICE to re-establish an office on Rikers. The city council’s lawsuit is critical. It is not just a legal challenge to an unlawful practice. It is a reaffirmation of the unlawful practice lady. What’s the unlawful practice? I’m curious. Go ahead. Immunity is unstinting against policies that are unjust and harmful. It is opposing real harm this year. Already, as we heard me argue today, we have already seen I used to walk into somebody’s cell on Rikers Island and handcuffed them in their cell without a judicial warrant. That is a violation of the city’s sanctuary laws. We are already seeing the violation of the city’s sanctuary laws, but not federal law. You don’t need a warrant. You don’t need a federal you don’t need a federal warrant to do that. So where they’re violating the city’s sanctuary laws. Now, keep in mind, the sanctuary laws violate the federal constitution because a city they claim sanctuaries nullifying federal immigration law. Now, the irony is lost on this moron because she’s a true believer. She’s a fanatic, but it should be lost on the media. All sanctuary cities or states are in violation of the federal Constitution just as much as the old Confederacy was. They do not have the power. They do not have the power, especially in the Constitution, where it is what is crafted. But the powers granted to the federal government. To interfere with immigration policy unless they’re going to enforce it, but they’re not. They’re defying it. And so this whole idea that while this violates, you know, the requirement for a warrant under our sanctuary city rules. Who cares? That whole operation is unconstitutional. The entire thing is unconstitutional. Go ahead. He complicit in ICE’s disappearance of our neighbors, our loved ones about his disappearance, saying, you know, they talk like they’re mobsters here we disappeared. Somebody. Oh, I mean, he killed them. No, they just disappeared them. He disappeared them. Now they’re holding them, and then they’re going to deport them. Deport them, you moron. Go ahead, America. We also know that as soon as ice is allowed back on Rikers, they will resume their history of collusion with dossier. Do you see in the past was sending emails to Rikers Island to us. So now the Department of Corrections, that’s D.O.C., is colluding with the feds. They’re sending them emails. We’ve got one of your people here. You might want to pick them up. Can you imagine that? They’re colluding to enforce federal law? We’ve now reached the point. Were you colluding? If you’re a local or state official informing the federal government about an illegal alien. Which is the responsibility of the federal government. They’re colluding. Like you’ve committed some crime. Look at how she speaks. Go ahead. Using the hash tag team, send them back, alerting eyes as to when people are going to be released in violation of our sanctuary laws. We don’t have sanctuary laws that have the legal standing under the federal Constitution, you nitwit. Yes, we’re trying to in violation of this sanctuary, that the whole law is an ass here. It doesn’t even make any sense what’s taking place, because the fools, the buffoons, the radical leftist, the Marxists and the Islamists are in control. The law exists to be twisted. The law exists to be abused. The law exists to be used against the lawful. And that’s a society in definite decline. Ladies and gentlemen. Indefinite decline. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Some of you may remember a movie. You don’t have to be over the age to live in an older movie. The Bridge on the River Kwai. Ever see that movie? 1957 Mister Producer. I’ve talked about it before and I’ve touched on it. So you have the commander of the British forces there, their P.O.W.s, held under horrific treatment by the Japanese. And you have Colonel Nicholson, played by Alec Guinness. And Colonel Nicholson is a very brave man and he’s resisted the. The Japanese in their brutality was beaten. He was locked in an iron box. Several them tried to escape. Some of the prisoners were wounded. Others were killed. But. The Japanese want them to build a bridge so their train can go with a bridge and deliver. Weapons and armaments and so forth. And. What happens is the Japanese architects, they’re so bad and the engineers are so bad that the Nicholson. Wanting to show British pride. He takes it upon himself. Mr. Producer. To draw up the plans with the with with others in his unit. And to build the bridge. And the bridge is built beautifully. Absolutely beautifully. The problem is he forgot his ultimate mission. The ultimate mission was the blowing up of the bridge. The plot, The bridge. And one of his men was positioned to blow it up. He had forgotten about it. But then he saw the wire because the river level was very low at a drop. The wire was exposed leading to the detonator. And so Colonel Nicholson spots the wire to investigate it. The train is approaching. So he pulls up the wire on the riverbank. So the guy who’s supposed to detonated his name is Joyce. He sees that the. The Japanese commander Saito. Now sees the wire. So Joyce stabs the Japanese commander to death. Then Nicholson tries to stop Joyce from reaching the detonator. And then Joyce who shot. And then another. Heroic, Brett. Jumps into the river, swims toward the detonator to detonate it, and he shot dead. And Nicholson recognizing what had taken place. His famous words. What have I done? What have I done? And in fact, one of the Brits fired a mortar towards Nicholson to try and take him out because he was preventing the blowing up of the bridge. And in that famous scene, Alec Guinness stumbles. Because he’s wounded. And falls on the detonator. On the plunger. And the bridge blows up. The train tumbles into the river. Tumbles into the river. And why am I telling you this story? I don’t know what this proposal is that was sent to Iran. I see some of the reports, those of you who’ve been on social media, you see the questions I’m asking, not attacking. I’m asking a bunch of questions. I’m just very hopeful, whatever this proposal is, including, if it’s what some of which has been presented to multiple media outlets that it’s not looked upon. As the Bridge on the River Kwai. Mr. Producer. The point is, just because it’s a proposal, just because it’s an American proposal, if there are weaknesses in it, there’s problems with it. But it needs to be blown up.
