On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, there is this Marxist-Islamist movement infiltrating U.S. institutions, especially the Democratic Party. ‘On Power’ is a unique educational tool on these threats and it explores the ideological threats of Marxism and Islamism to American liberty, rights, sovereignty, and faith. It delves into the historical, philosophical, and political contexts of these issues, contrasting the Judeo-Christian belief system with Marxist-Islamist ideologies. Later, Zahran Mamdani urges progressives to hold firm to their convictions, advocating for policies like student debt cancellation and Medicare for All, alongside radical goals like BDS and seizing the means of production. Mamdani is a Stalinist who’s agenda threatens property rights and liberty. He is masking authoritarian intentions with ‘appealing’ promises. In addition, Asra Nomani joins the program to explain that socialist Muslims have strategically infiltrated the Democratic Party over two decades, leveraging identity politics and progressive alliances to gain influence. This agenda aligns with socialist policies and critiques of capitalism, reshaping the party’s direction. Also, David Trulio, President and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute calls in to announce Mark’s ‘On Power’ book signing, lecture and dinner on August 17, 2025 at the Reagan Library. Finally, Steve Scalise to discuss the big, beautiful bill that passed in the Senate. It will prevent a major tax hike, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime for workers like servers, and funding border security with wall construction and advanced tech for Border Patrol. It boosts energy production in ANWR and the Gulf, cuts $1.5 trillion in waste, and promotes economic growth. The House must now pass the bill and send it to Trump’s desk.

Rough transcription of Hour 1
Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. We have a very big announcement at the bottom of the hour, about 6:32 p.m. Eastern Time in less than a half hour. So I hope you all hang in there and listen, whether you’re listening on AM FM radio, whether you’re listening on satellite radio, whether you’re listening ostensibly a live streaming or the Mark Levin app or the iHeart app or. On YouTube or wherever you are. If I missed, I apologize. Hang in there. The bottom of the hour, we’re going to make a big announcement. I was not here last night because I was the keynote speaker, although there were great speakers, just tremendous at the Christians United for Israel event. And Koofi represents almost 11 million active Christians in support of the United States, the state of Israel and the Bible. And it was founded by Pastor John Hagee, the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, his beautiful wife and daughter and son and just a beautiful family. My family and his family became extraordinarily close. Such a great honor. And we met so many fantastic people there, perhaps many of you. Just fantastic, God loving people. You know, we say God fearing. I say God loving people. And when you think about the debate, the lead up to what Israel did with Iran and then what we did. To their nuclear sites. You realize that this debate occurs mostly in Washington. That the overwhelming majority of the American people. One of the Israelis to defeat the Iranians. And what did the United States military to take out their nuclear sites? And that’s what the polling shows. And I sat here and I thought about this. Look what’s happened in the Middle East. Thanks to Benjamin Netanyahu having to deal with Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu teaming up with our great president, Donald Trump. But the two of them have done it’s radically changed the Middle East for the better. And more changes to come. Keep this in mind. Next time there’s a debate among so-called influencers and isolationists and we red blooded American Yanks. All this hate America stuff coming from the isolationists, the paleo cons, that’s what they used to be called, the Buchanan ites. And the Marxist Islamists on the left. And look what this president has achieved. There’s reason to be optimistic. Very. The border is secure. They’re trying to fine and remove. The criminals. And these are horrendous people sent into this country who’ve come into this country. During the Democrat Biden regime open border. And they came by the millions. Ladies and gentlemen, people came here by the millions. It’s shocking. In this president trying to deal with it. Look at the Supreme Court ruled when it comes to these lower courts, he ruled we wanted them to rule. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a patsy. I’m not a Pollyanna. But I’m just saying, let’s look let’s look at the victories. It just told the lower court, you can’t do what you’re doing. Now while they look for ways around it? Yes, they certainly will. But at least in the first round, which is a big round we want. Look at the other ruling. Written by Alito 63, about parents and children. And school boards and school systems. A massive victory. And if the president is able and the Republican leadership is able to get this bill through, whether it takes a little longer or not, you can have a massive tax cut. Not everybody, but 70% of the American people, a massive tax cut. And for those of you who don’t get much of a tax cut, at least will be able to hold on to most of the tax cut you had in the prior Trump term. Now you might talk spending. I don’t disagree. But what’s the alternative here? The Democrat Party wants massive tax increases and even more spending. And I would say to my conservative brothers and sisters, I want bigger tax excuse me, spending cuts, too, but you can’t do it when you have a three vote majority in both houses of Congress because you have. The Susan Collins types that you have, the rhino types, you have liberal Republicans or whatever you have. So it’s impossible to accomplish what we want to accomplish. There are more reports about how Israelis are killing Palestinians. Amazing to me. You’ve got hostages there. And in Gaza, they still want an ally. They can have peace in 2 minutes. Surrender, give the hostages back and it’s all over. But they won’t do it. They won’t do it. That’s the bottom line. Now things aren’t perfect, and we need to fight. We need to be resolute. There’s a lot to do. There’s a movement in this country, Marxist Islamist movement that has taken hold, that is in our culture. It’s in academia. It’s destroying our colleges, even our best colleges. It’s destroying our entertainment. It’s destroying our news media. It’s destroyed the Democrat Party. It’s leaching into the Republican Party through isolationists. And it’s a real deal. And all you have to do is look at France and especially England now. And then you’ll see this has been in the works for about 40 to 50 years. Kerry was founded in 1993. It’s Hamas front group. It was founded for the purpose of leading the cause. To try mainstream radical jihadi. Islamism. And the Marxists long ago took over our faculty in the 1960s. And you have the fusion of what I’ve talked about repeatedly of the Marxists and the Islamists. They are here. They are dangerous. They have basically conquered the Democrat Party. That’s what they’ve done. They’ve basically conquered the Democrat Party. How did this happen? It’s in my book on power. Where are we going with this? It’s in my book on power. Why do they hate us? Why do they want to destroy us? It’s in my book on power. What about the Democrat Party? It’s in my book on power. I delve into faith. Faith belief. The Judeo-Christian belief system versus the Marxist Islamist belief system. And they have a lot in common, those two, not ultimately, but a lot in terms of the means, not so much the ends. And you’re going to read about it. It’s. It’s something I think that you’ll find compelling. And really motivating to deal with. And that’s the point of this book. You can look it away and find a way to look at freedom. And unalienable rights like you’ve never looked at it before. Ever. Because in my 11th book. It’s what it is. Ten. Excluding rescuing Sprite on on these substantive issues. Having taken time to do research for a half a century to study these issues for half a century. I think I’ve come upon something that’s very important. People talk about power and passion and then they move on. We talk about liberty to wear blue in the face. We talk about tyranny of tor blue in the face, and we should. But we have to explain why. Liberty. Why tyranny? Why not Islamism? Why not Marxism? Why Yes. Republicanism? Why, Yes, constitutionalism. And I lay it out. And every time I look. I have this Marxist Islamist anti-Semite. And to Fatah supporter. That’s terrorism. Who’s the Democrat nomination for mayor of New York. You never thought it would happen. Where’s is going to happen? If we don’t educate ourselves about this. The education in this book is not available anywhere else. You’re not going to get it in college. You’re not going to get it in high school. You’re not going to get it in the media. It’s not available anywhere else. Well, you’ll get it in the media to the extent I talk about it. Then. Then you’ll get it. Very important. And why is it the isolationists are so wrong? I don’t even mention them in the book. But why is it that they’re so wrong? Because they don’t accept the mindset of the enemy. They don’t even treat it as an enemy. They think we’re the enemy or the Jews are the enemy. Are Israel’s. The enemy are the warmongers the enemy. This is a problem. This is a problem we’ve got to deal with. It’s a matter of understanding and forming ourselves on what we’re dealing with. I divide this book. The different chapters. They’re not a lot of chapters. They’re not a lot of chapters. But each one is very important. The first chapters on power. What do I mean by this? Think about power. Ubiquitous. So what do I mean by it? How am I going to fashion a discussion about it? Chapter two is on negative power. What does that mean? People think they know what it means, but people really don’t know what that means. So I broke out that piece and I explain that next chapter. Obviously, Positive power. What does that mean? Why is it positive? Chapter four is language and address on language in other books, but this time I address it in another way. In relation to power and wokeism. And speech rules on college campuses. And on and on and on. On rights. What does power have to do with rights? We have rights right there in the Declaration of Independence, unalienable rights. Well, there’s a difference between God given unalienable rights and how those unalienable rights given to us by God. Our manifested right here on Earth the earthly application of those unalienable rights. So we’re going to discuss that in the book, Chapter five and much more. What do we mean by liberty? Well, ladies and gentlemen, I went to the greatest sources of that word. I went to Aristotle and Cicero. I want to Jon Stewart now wrote a whole book called On Liberty. I wrote to the founders. I went to the founders of your country. And many more. You know what I found, Mr. Bitzer? There’s no great definition for liberty. It’s typically described by words not. In the context of something else. And so we get into this. What really does Liberty mean? Now, this book could have been a thousand pages long. Could be ten books. If I decided to play power to immigration. Power to equality, power to you name it. But that’s not the nature of this book. And if I wrote a book a thousand pages long, you wouldn’t read it. Neither would I be a good, good doorstop, probably. One of those cocktail table books and nobody reads it just sits there. I want you to read it. That’s why when you read this book, you’ll find there’s a. A limit on the number. Event notes because most of it’s my own thinking. There’s notes. I give credit where credit is due. You will find. Let the book the substance of the book. Is 182 pages long, not 300 pages long. You will find in each page, in each chapter. Something that is intriguing and compelling. You may have to go back and read it twice, maybe three times. The three think through the points that I’m raising with you. And you’re going to find that this book has everything to do with what you discuss at the breakfast table, at the dinner table, at Thanksgiving. This book has everything to do with the debates that go on in this country. This book has everything to do with 80% of what you see on TV or listen to on radio. And it’s going to change the way you view things for the better. For the better. We have a hell of a show for you this evening. Ladies and gentlemen. I’m glad to be back. I’m so honored to have been accused by. And what a beautiful honor from from those folks. Just a just. So inspiring. I just wish all of you could have seen it and all of you could have been there. So we’ll get started. Bottom of the hour. Big announcement. Bottom of the hour. We’ll be right back.
Segment 2
By the way, at the top of the next hour, we have Asra Nomani, who is absolutely fabulous, co-founder of the Clarity Coalition with Zuhdi Jasser. And she wrote a great piece and has a great background on these things about socialism, these Islamists, and how they pulled off a 20 year takeover of the Democrat Party. She wrote this at Fox News. I said, Oh, I’ve got to have this young lady on the program. And this is the fusion of the Marxists and Islamists. They call themselves democratic socialists because it sounds better, but they’re not democratic and they’re not socialists, they’re communists, they’re Marxists. That’s what they are. And they’re Islamists. And later in the program, we’re going to give you a whole background on this guy, because he’s just the tip of the iceberg in AOC and the Democrat Party. Big chunks of it. Bernie Sanders and all the were excited about this. They’re pushing this and in the biggest city in the United States. The wealthiest city in the United States, the most diverse city in the United States. Can you imagine if one of these people becomes mayor? He’s a racist. He wants to tax white people and white neighborhoods higher. He’s an anti-Semite. He believes in BDS and and this also global intifada. He is a communist who wants to take over the means of production. He’s unapologetic about it. He’s basically Stalin with a smile. Big announcement coming up literally in minutes. Stick with us. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
You know, whenever I launch a book, ladies and gentlemen, the Reagan Coalition, the Conservative Coalition, now the Trump Coalition, Tea Party Coalition, that is. Patriotic Americans come from all over the country. They greet each other. They share stories with each other, to be with each other, to have a beautiful dinner. For us to meet for me to talk about this new book on power, which is a very, very important book and really a hallowed place, the Reagan Library. It is beautiful. It’s the most beautiful library that’s out there. And it’s a great honor to have with me tonight the president and CEO of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, David Trulia, who’s doing a fantastic job out there. So, David, tell everybody what we’re doing this year. And let me just suggest to the audience, if you’re interested in doing this, don’t sit around and think about it, because typically it’s gone by the end of the program. David, go right ahead and welcome to the program. Thanks so much, Marc. And wise words, people should absolutely act quickly. Mark, we are so excited to welcome you back to the Reagan Library, the place that bears the name of the greatest president of the 20th century. And Mark, this is going to be your ninth. So I did. So here’s the plan. You and I will have a conversation about your new book. And you and our guests will stay for a buffet dinner in our spectacular Air Force One pavilion. And I recommend that anyone within the sound of this broadcast go to Reagan Foundation. Dot org slash livin to buy tickets. And they should do it right now with history as a guide. I know the tickets will sell out very quickly, so do make sure you go to Reagan Foundation dot org slash Levin to secure your ticket right now. And folks, I want you to know David’s not. Not not thrown so made. This is absolutely true. We have an overflow section too. And once it’s sold out, it’s sold out. There’s nothing we can do about it. And so we sell it every year. We sell it very, very quickly. I really want to see every year want to see as many of you as possible. This is the biggest event that we have that they have. Each time we do this, there’s no guarantee will do this every time. There just isn’t. And but this time, our friends at the Reagan Library, we have a tremendous relationship with them. We’d love to see you there again. It’s August 17th. August 17th. That’s a Sunday, 1:30 p.m. Eastern Pacific Time. The Reagan Library, Simi Valley, California. Again, Sunday, August 17th, 2025. This this August 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Sign up. Get your seat. Enjoy the dinner. You know, I spend time with you. We talk. You know, I sign every book that comes to me. You got a Reagan Foundation, Morgan Levine, Reagan Foundation, Morgan Levin. And, Mark, if I can elaborate. You have been so generous with your time. You literally sign every book. The book signing starts at 130 on Sunday, the 17th of August, and the main program is going to start at six. And you use historically, you have used all of that time from 130 until that 6 p.m. program start time. So it’s really great. And so we’re all clear. If people purchase a ticket, it gives them access to the buffet dinner, provides them the ability to tour the Reagan Library and Museum, and then we’ll roll into the program. And people can also talk to a tour of the plane that President Reagan used as Air Force One so they can tour the museum at from 430 to 545, see the event with you, have the dinner and then go on onto the plane. That Air Force One plane from 730 to 830. And you have fantastic events there at the museum, at the Reagan Library. They’re museum like like places that you have where people can spend time and look and do other things. So once they sign your book, you’re not just milling around. There are literally tons of things to do in this fantastic library. Many of you who’ve come before, you know, you’ve got to get in line. You got to sign up as quickly as you can. I’m only doing three book signings. This is the only book signing on the West Coast. There’s not another one. There’s not only this is it. And anybody who has been wanting to go to the Reagan Library or go back to the Reagan Library, this is where you pull it all together and you have a fantastic dinner. Again, we will all meet and we’re going to get into the the the guts of this book on power, which I think is crucially important now more than ever. I take questions from the audience. And, you know, David, we have people we don’t know, people we don’t even expect show up who sometimes actors and actresses, sometimes former governors, people of that sort. It’s a lot of fun. You don’t really know who’s going to come. And and it’s exciting. It is. It’s one of those events. It’s fun. And I suspect when you walk away from you’re going to talk. As a matter of fact, David, we’ve had many people, parents and grandparents, they bring their children and their grandchildren. They make it a real event. They enjoy it. They can make it a full day at the Reagan Library because in addition to seeing you and participating in the book signing, there’s that tremendous museum that tells the story of Ronald Reagan and his life, his presidency. We also have a remarkable special exhibition right now, the Dead Sea Scrolls. Yes, literally, the Dead Sea Scrolls from Israel are with us. So people they’d have to buy a separate ticket for that because that sells out to on the weekends. But they can come to the cafe, they can tour the museum, they can buy a ticket to go see the Dead Sea Scrolls eight Scrolls 2000 year old scrolls that that reflect the foundations of Judaism and Christianity. And there are 200 accompanying artifacts. And on top of that, they get to see you and get their books signed by you. But I promise everybody this sells out fast every time. So if you actually want to do this, go to Reagan Foundation dot org flashlight in right now the Dead Sea Scrolls. I mean, I went already all the way to Israel to see some of those. So you have it brought back here, folks. I didn’t even know this is going to blow your socks off. What you see there, you’re going to see the history, the history of of how Judaism and Christianity began, these Dead Sea Scrolls. They were found they were found in caves in the sides of mountains by people who are just sort of milling around and miners and shepherds and so forth and so on. And they have a very sophisticated lab set up in the Holy Land to try and and decipher them. And they’re starting to do that. And the only reason they survive is because they were in these caves and they didn’t get wet. And so they’re 2000 years old. Yeah, it’s amazing. Is it the year And they’re the most it’s the most important archaeological discovery of the 20th century or certainly one of them. And they’re incredibly fragile. They’re preserved by their arid climate there. And it’s more than a display of artifacts. It’s a journey through human spirituality and resilience and the during quest for meaning. So I can’t think of a more special way to take it all in at the place that bears Ronald Reagan’s name with somebody who served his his administration and carries forth the Reagan legacy and principles. Mark Colvin So we’re just so grateful, Mark, that of all the places that you can come that you’ve chosen this one of only three locations in the United States where you will talk about your timely and consequential book. So reminder, folks, Sunday, August 17th, 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time. That’s when we’ll start the book signing at the. Reagan Library, Simi Valley, California. It’s absolutely beautiful. You can honor the lives of the Reagans. They are there, buried right there on the property, as a matter of fact, overlooking the beautiful hills of the area. And so far, Simi Valley. And it’s always very well organized that you’re going to have a fantastic time. A lot of people have been there, know exactly what I’m talking about. But again, a lot of people have been there signing up right now as I speak. So this is something you want to do. Do it now. David, I want to thank you so much. One more time. Where do people go if they want to sign up right now, tonight? Right now they go to Reagan Foundation dot org slash Lavin. And I’m actually sitting next to my computer here and I can tell people the orders are starting to roll in. Mm hmm. Very good. And we’ll get them rolling in by the end of the show. We’re going to roll it, baby. All right. Thank you, David. You take care of yourself. Thank you, Mark. To see all the folks. God bless. Take care. This is this is an event. It’s more than just a book signing. I mean, it’s very important. It’s it’s an event. It’s people who come who are happy. We’re going to be happier this time than we were two years ago because Biden was president. Now Trump as president. President Trump has Ronald Reagan’s official. White House portrait. As he sits behind the Resolute desk over his left shoulder. Over his left shoulder. President Trump’s tax cuts. In many respects, the people advising him advised Reagan. So I know they’re great tax cuts because of Trump and Reagan’s combination of thinking. Same when it comes to building up the United States military and so forth. Don’t get me wrong, Trump is his old man, his own man, but he has tremendous respect for Ronald Reagan. I worked for Ronald Reagan for eight years. I never work for Donald Trump, but he’s a very good friend of mine. And so we’ll bring all these these histories, all this thinking, all this background together. When we discuss the book, you’ll be able to ask your questions. When I get to meet each and every one of you, you’ll get to have dinner there. And I did not know that the Dead Sea Scrolls would be there. That is fantastic. So you’ll be able to check those out, too. And this is incredible. I’ve seen some of this. When we were in Israel. What was it, a month or two? Whatever it was, I’m losing focus on my time. And once, once more west of the Mississippi. This is it. This is where I’m going now. Because that’s the plan. It’s just the way it is. I can’t travel all over the country, do TV and radio. Some people can. I don’t feel I’m treating my audience properly. And you’ll notice it’s on a Sunday. It’s not during a weekday. We try for a Saturday or Sunday. And that’s what we’re doing in this instance. So if you want to join us. I’m just giving word to the wise. Don’t sit back. Go to Reagan Foundation Mortgage. Evelyn Reagan Foundation Mortgage. Olivia. And you’re going to have a fantastic time. I’m telling you. You are. And I’m going to have one with you. I’m very excited about this. We’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Okay. Well, you folks are, I hope, jumping in, contacting the our special hotline to acquire your seats and dinner arrangements at the Reagan Library. Again, it’s Reagan Foundation Corgi Lovin Reagan Foundation Date August 11. Zoran Mamdani is a young Democratic socialist. Now, ladies and gentlemen, every time you hear socialist, I want you to think a Marxist, a communist. Okay? He’s not a socialist socialist. It is an economic system. So he’s an economic socialist, but he’s a Marxist. The iron fist of tyranny. This is from 2021. Got one go when I wanted to make sure to to say is that when we when our position starts to change, when we start to accumulate power, when we start to elect individuals such as myself and my other statements into local office, we are starting to be treated in a different way than we used to be. And the way in which power engages us now, it is very critical for all of us to remember what it is that we are fighting for and to remember that our agenda is an agenda that must not be dictated by calculus, but by conviction. And what I mean by that is that the many things that we believe, some of them are already popular in this moment right now. Right. If we’re talking about the cancellation of student debt, if we’re talking about Medicare for All, you know, these are issues which have the groundswell of popular support across this country. But then there are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it’s AIDS or whether it’s the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not stop there seizing the means of production, seizing, stealing private property, stealing homes. Stealing businesses. Seizing the means of production, The ladies and gentlemen. Your Declaration of Independence and your Constitution talked about protecting what you have earned, protecting what is yours? Again, this book on power gets into this in a big way. He just said, seize the means of production. He’s a Stalinist. He didn’t simply say which will be bad enough share The wealth did redistribute. He said, Seize the means of production. Now we’re supposed to forget this because he smiles. He’s also from a fairly wealthy family. Want you to believe he grew up in the Third World. No, he’s born in the Third World. And they came to the United States. And then, of course, he wants to destroy the United States. These are Indian heritage. And he’s also a racist pig because he talks about taxing white people more. He’s also an anti-Semitic pig. Because of the things he says. About Judaism. In Israel. This is who he is. Go ahead, Mr. Producer, at this very moment. And what I want to say is that it is critical that the way that we organize and the way that we set up our set up our work and our priorities, that we do not leave any one issue for the other, that we do not meet a moment and only look at what people are ready for, but that we are doing both of these things in tandem. In other words, impose your will on the people, dress it up, camouflage it, make it sound cool. Freebies for everybody who could be against that. Don’t accept the status quo. Destroy it and proceed. One of the things that’s never discussed in this, and I discuss it in the book is what do you surrender in exchange for this? And his opponents are probably not smart enough to raise it. Maybe Curtis is, but I can’t think of anyone else. What do you lose? When somebody says seize the means of production, when somebody says, basically we’re going to take over the grocery industry, when somebody says free Medicare for everybody, in his case, it won’t be Medicare, but it could be aspects of health care. What do you lose? You lose your liberty. That’s what you lose. You lose freedom. Because he can’t do this. Through a democratic process. Oh, he’ll get elected. Maybe, but that’s not my point. You won’t. Once they’re in, they’re not going to seek your input. They’re going to impose their will. There is no way to seek your input and have it matter if you’re talking about seizing the means of production. So if you have a business in New York, any kind of business, small, medium, large, food, jewelry doesn’t matter. Seize the means of production. And of course, it’s obvious. What? Government can run anything seriously. That’s a practical point. But here’s a real point. Any government that can seize the means of production. You can steal your liberty. Can steal your mobility. Well, make decisions about your life in the name of the people, even though the people aren’t consulted. This guy is a hardcore Stalinist. He’s a Stalinist. Or does that mean he’s going to lock everybody up? No, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a Stalinist. He has a Stalinist mentality. That’s what he is. I’ll be right back.
