On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump is taking decisive action on Russia and has made it clear he’ll do even more if necessary—unlike the weak, inconsistent leadership we’ve seen from others. His foreign policy is firm and strategic, echoing the strength of President Reagan, and he’s done more to support Ukraine and NATO than President Biden ever dared. While the left-wing media continues to push false narratives and smear his record, the truth is undeniable: Trump has tackled the border crisis, deported dangerous criminals, revived the economy through smart tariffs, and worked to end endless wars. Meanwhile, the left seems more focused on protecting criminals and pushing radical agendas than defending our communities and allies. The American people see through the noise—and that’s exactly why Trump’s support continues to grow. Also, a new study debunks the accusations of Israeli genocide, war crimes, and intentional mass starvation in Gaza during the ongoing conflict. The 311-page report explained that more food entered Gaza post-October 7, 2023, than before, refuting famine claims and explains that shortages are due to Hamas looting. Will any major news organization report on this? Afterward, Ben Shapiro calls in to discuss his new book – Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America (and Her Critics). Shapiro describes lions as builders, innovators, and risk-takers who take responsibility for fixing problems and strengthening society, often embodying patriotism and optimism. In contrast, scavengers are non-producers who resent lions and seek to destroy societal structures, forming coalitions like Marxists or Islamists seen in campus protests and marches that threaten Western civilization from within. Finally, there’s an internal cancer within the Democrat party which threatens to destroy society, especially evident in Islamists who flee oppressive homelands yet attack American freedoms. Democrats are encouraging this cancer because they think it will lead to power.

Segment 1
How about that? Hello, America. Mark Levin here. We be at right here, Mr. Producer. That’s right. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. The big question to be answered is whether or not President Xi of China will mention the massive amount of support and blood that the United States of America gave to China. In order to help it to secure its freedom from a very unfriendly foreign invader. And by that he means our defeat of Japan. In World War Two. Many Americans died in China’s quest for victory and glory. I hope they’re rightfully honored and remembered for their bravery and sacrifice. The President, JI and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong un as you conspire against the United States of America. President Donald J. Trump. He’s right about that, isn’t he? Oh, yeah. He understands what’s going on fully and completely. President at the White House today. Cut one go. And I thought it was a beautiful ceremony. I thought it was very, very impressive. But I understood the reason they were doing it and they were hoping I was watching and I was watching. My relationship with all of them is very good. We’re going to find out how good it is over the next week or two. I think that we have to China very much, as you know, when they talk about freedom, and I don’t believe that and maybe I’m wrong. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t believe that America that the United States was acknowledged for helping China to get to to gain his freedom. But perhaps that was just a that was a sleight of hand. I mean, I was very I was very surprised. I watched the speech last night, and President Bush is a friend of mine, but I thought that the United States should have been mentioned last night during that speech because we helped China very, very much. Mm hmm. We sure did. Cut to go ahead. You’ve expressed many times here at Federation and disappointment with Putin, but there’s no action since you took your office. And are you worried that, you know, there’s election. But don’t you worry more. What what do you do You feel okay? How do you know there’s no action? Would you say that putting secondary sanctions on India, the largest purchaser outside of China, they’re almost equal? Would you say there was no action that cost hundreds of billions of dollars to Russia? You call that no action. And I haven’t done phase two yet or phase three. But when you say there’s no action, I think you ought to get yourself a new job. Because if you remember two weeks ago I did, I said, if India buys, India’s got big problems. And that’s what happened. So don’t tell me about it. You know, it’s interesting to me, Donald Trump is taking firm action and he’s going to take firmer action. He’s ratcheting it up, trying to see what kind of response he gets. And if there’s resistance with this alliance and they keep pounding Ukraine and it keeps threatening the West, he’s going to keep ratcheting it up. So it’s like he can’t win. He’s got the isolationist nutjobs. Who would have a surrender to this enemy. All the enemies. And then he’s got the media and the left that let’s say he’s not doing enough. And yet he’s done a ton more than Joe Biden ever did. I mean, ask yourselves that question. It’s done a ton more to support Naito. He’s doing a ton more now to support Ukraine. He’s the one that’s trying to step in and and get that situation resolved. He’s done a ton more to support the state of Israel. He’s done a ton more to build up our own military and secure our own border. And yet it is this constant ripping, ripping, ripping at him. Cut three. Go! I have no message to President Putin. He knows where I stand and he’ll make a decision one way or the other, whatever his decision is. Will either be happy about it or unhappy. And if we’re unhappy about it, you’ll see things happen. So we have one group, seriously, of loudmouths who believe we should just surrender navigable waters, surrender the economy, surrender our allies to our enemies. And you know who these bird brains are? And then we have these others who seem. Trigger happy. Now Trump will pull the trigger if and when he needs to. But he’s not trigger happy. This is what I’ve explained over and over and over again. He’s not an isolationist, but he’s not an interventionist. And neither was Reagan. Peace through strength means peace through strength. They’re not blind to these threats. Now, some people will say he pushed China, North Korea and Russia towards each other. Ladies and gentlemen. China, North Korea and Russia in the last several decades. Have been aligned. They’ve been aligned. There’s no surprise about it. None. Now in the case of India. Modi seems to be willing to befriend whomever he feels he needs to befriend, but I don’t think he’s playing his cards smart. I really don’t. He was standing there with G and Putin, and he seemed ultra uncomfortable, as he should. As he should, because they were also standing there with Pakistan. And other countries that are not democracies. India is the biggest democracy on the face of the planet. China has been a sworn enemy. There may be a period of quiet right now, but it’s not it’s certainly not going to be for a long period of time. So Modi’s kind of out there now. And that’s to really think about what he’s doing. Really think about what he’s doing. But on the one hand, he’s called a dictator trigger happy. On the other hand, he’s not doing enough. I’ve been thinking about this. It’s like trying to help the city’s. If a president who is actively trying to protect the citizenry of Democrat cities, most of whom are minorities and most of whom are black. Among the minorities. And he’s under full throated attack by the Democrat Party. By minority organizations. By activists. He could step away. He could say, let the blood keep pouring in the streets. He keep pretending that the Democrats are right about gun control. You have Durbin out there who says problem with guns in Chicago is most of them are coming from outside the city. There was a report just a few hours before this program that said actually most of the guns are coming out of Chicago. I can’t control that any more than they control. Other sorts of things that come into the city or are in the city. Law and order means law and order protecting people. And the Democrats refuse to do it. They are pushed, pulled, cajoled. Threatened, bullied. By the Marxist Islamist axis. They will never be supporters of the cops. Never. Name one mayor who’s a supporter. The cop is a liberal Democrat. Name one. There are none. They’re Big sugar Daddy. Soros is busy finding prosecutors who won’t prosecute. They’re judges. I’m going to talk about a little bit later. Are completely out of control at the federal level. They’re at it again. They’re at it again. You have a federal judge in Boston appointed by a radical Democrat president. Well, before I came on the air ruled. That the president doesn’t have the authority. To negotiate or fine? HARBURG $2 billion. Mr. Producer, did you see that? It’s unbelievable. You have another federal Democrat judge in L.A. that says the president does not have the authority to bring in the National Guard to protect ICE. Got that one. Even another federal judge that ruled a woman who threatened to murder Donald Trump. Should be released. So he released her. As she threatened with postings online. This guy, Bose Burke. Bozo Burke. Completely out of control. Obama Judge. You have another judge, I should say court 2 to 1. Two Democrats versus one Republican. That rule that the. The stature relied on by the president from the 1800s doesn’t apply. Therefore, a whole slew of individuals who are here illegally cannot be deported under that statute. Now, these are decisions six, seven, eight of them that have come down in the course. Of the last 48 hours. And clearly the Democrats. And then, of course, we had the big one on the tariffs. If you oppose tariffs, then your place to go is Congress. Congress. Not the courts. And there was a great piece in The Wall Street Journal. My professor, Jonathan Adler. A William and Mary Law School. Basically agreeing with me in the posts that I placed on social media last week and read to you on the air. Which essentially agrees with the dissent. That opinion was 7 to 4. But he made the point. I made the point. Tariffs are not just about economics. They’re about foreign policy. They affect foreign governments, foreign corporations, foreign policy, national security. In many of the cases where Donald Trump has issued executive orders, that’s exactly what he focused on. It’s not a matter. Our Congress. Delegating authority cannot delegate to a president even there, as the professor wrote and I said and the dissent said. Even there. Even then. We have a long history almost from the beginning of the republic. Where Congress has authorized a president broad authority to make determinations about tariffs. So the president is not acting outside his legal or constitutional authority, despite what our friends say at National Review. He’s not. And so there’s a debate on this, just as he’s not acting outside his authority on the flag. A 5 to 4 in 1989 decision, as I explained that decision and the president’s executive order, his executive order does not violate the Constitution. It follows the 1989 ruling at the Supreme Court. And what’s happening here. The problem isn’t the president. The problem is all of these radical left wing lawyers, whether they have been judges. But lawyers for left wing groups. Our Democrat activists. They were pushed into the court by Schumer to thwart Trump. And that’s what they’re trying to do and they’re back at it. Round two. We’ve had two speeches. By two justices. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch warning the lower courts even since the court ruled. Late last spring, early summer, that the lower courts are not adhering to the authority of the Supreme Court. Why? Because they’re radicals in. Obes. Radicals in robes. And they’re not going to adhere to the Supreme Court any more than they’re going to adhere to federal law and the Constitution. This is a grave threat to the Republic. Grave threat to this republic. Terrible. I underscored this yesterday. All right. I want to address briefly the Epstein matter. And we have a couple of congressmen, Republicans and Democrats, who say we want to get to the bottom of this matter, release all documents and so forth. He ask, what is the bottom of the matter? What is it? Again. What is the end game here? Mr. Producer. Let’s see. Where is the cut? Here? Uh, play Cut six, please. I do have to ask and I know and it’s just something that I think we’re compelled to at this moment with the attention on President Trump with these questions around a pardon. Did anybody see or hear of the president himself doing anything inappropriate as it related to Jeffrey Epstein or former President Clinton? No. No. These are Epstein survivors that were on Capitol Hill who testified. On MSNBC. That’s Hallie Jackson asking the question. About Trump and Clinton. Did any of you survivors see anything untoward by them? No and no. So what is the end game here? I’m still curious. What is it? The guy killed himself, and that’s good. But what is it? We’ll be right back.
Segment 2
So what is the issue with Epstein that we need to know other than he was an absolute monster, which we do know. He killed himself, according to. Former attorneys general of both parties and the current one and FBI directors of both parties. That’s that gap that existed on the videotape. Well, they found it. Now you can watch the whole videotape. So there’s nothing hidden there. Three federal judges in different jurisdictions have all ruled they’re not going to violate six grand juries. Grand jury secrecy. And I don’t know what that would show anyway, other than the prosecution of the specific case in front of them. And now you have the group of survivors who said they didn’t see Trump or Clinton do anything. So where are we going with this? Oh, and the latest polls show the American people don’t give a damn. Not one damn.
Segment 3
All right. To close the circle is for us. The crackpots, the grifters. Fake MAGA will keep chasing this. And chase. They will. They like chasing their tails. They like chasing conspiracies. They collude with the Democrats, they collude with the Marxists and the Islamists and the anti-Semites. That’s their problem. Here’s Trump in the White House today trying to deal with this cut five going. So this is a Democrat hoax that never ends. You know, it reminds me a little of the Kennedy situation. We gave him everything over and over again, more and more and more. And nobody’s ever satisfied. From what I understand, I could check, but from what I understand, thousands of pages of documents have been given. But it’s really a Democrat hoax because they’re trying to get people to talk about something that’s totally irrelevant to the success that we’ve had as a nation since I’ve been president. Even if you look at D.C. right now, D.C. is a totally safe zone. It’s called a safe zone. That’s a that’s a term it’s a term of art. It’s a safe zone because it’s very safe. You can walk down the street now and nothing’s going to happen. No crime, no murders, no nothing, because we had a lot of problems with certain places. And we still do all run by Democrats who are, for the most part, run by Democrats. So what they’re trying to do with the hoax is get people to talk about that instead of speaking about the tremendous success like ending seven wars. I ended seven wars. Nobody’s going to talk about because they’re going to talk about the. Epstein whatever. I mean, he’s so right. And this is why I started the program the way I did. This man can’t do anything right, according to his critics. According to the Marxist Islamists, according to the Marxist media. According to the fake mag isolation as he can’t do anything right. And I feel like he’s doing everything right. Certainly almost everything, don’t you, Mr. Producer? I haven’t been so proud since Reagan. And I worked for Reagan for eight years. But I haven’t been so proud of a president. I’m just telling you the things he’s doing and the way he’s doing them. Unprecedented by any president, any president who’s had to face what he faces internally, domestically. There’s a massive leviathan that’s been built up to swallow us, to devour the civil society. He’s taking it on and they’re trying to devour him. And they desperately tried to eliminate him as a political force. And they failed because of you. And him. He deserves our support in these things that he’s doing. He deserves our support. You may have a little piddling thing here and there. You don’t like this, You don’t like it doesn’t matter. Look at the big picture. Look at the big picture. Now we know fully who Donald Trump is. Maybe we didn’t ten years ago, but we sure as hell know now. He is a heroic figure. Got it. A heroic figure. That’s who he is. That’s what he is. Some of us, most of you see it in real time. We know this to be the case. Others might look back and know it to be the case if we still have a republic. He sees what’s going on in our schools and he’s trying to address it, confront it and fix it. He saw what was going on on the border and he fixed it. He sees the deindustrialization of America, and he’s using tariffs not just for economic purposes. But in order to have a major impact on foreign policy. On foreign policy that improves America’s. Foreign policy and America’s national security, as well as our allies. By using our economy. Reagan used our economy. Trump is using it in a different way. And they’re both massively successful and massively under attack. And Trump more than anybody. Trump more than anybody. We are being. Undermined by an enemy within that uses third world tactics. They tried to put him in prison that tried to destroy his businesses. They tried to destroy his family. He’s a multi-billionaire. He doesn’t need any of this. And yet look. And yet look. I want you to compare him. Two. Ilhan Omar was an America hating, Jew hating. Corrupt hack politician. Here we have from Fox News. Representative Ilhan Omar’s net worth. Has swelled to as much as $30 million in just one year. Her congressional financial disclosures reveal. And I want to give credit where credit is due. The was first reported. By this great site, the Washington Free Beacon. Ilhan Omar said it’s categorically false to call her a millionaire. Her net worth just reached up to $30 million, an increase of at least 3,500% in one year. Got that. Much of the squad members wealth comes to her husband’s winery and venture capital firm. But don’t worry, she’s against capitalism. Jessica van Dam is filthy rich family against capitalism, don’t you know? Representative Ilhan Omar. His personal fortune exploded upwards of $30 million in one year in 2020 for. The Minnesota Democrat disclosed just months after telling the press it is, quote, ridiculous and categorically false to say she’s worth millions of dollars. So don’t say it even though she disclosed it. You’re not supposed to say it. Omar reported in her latest financial disclosure that she and her husband, former political consultant Tim My net accumulated in net worth at the end of 2024, ranging from at least 6 million to $30 million. Their wealth is derived almost entirely from the value of Burnett’s ownership stake in his two companies that together were worth no more than $51,000 at the end of 2023. So if you’re thinking to yourself, Well, that sounds corrupt as hell, you’re not alone. The exact value of Omar’s personal fortune at the end of 2024 is unclear. Lawmakers disclose the value of their holdings and debts in ranges. Still, the figures in Omar’s latest disclosures, writes Andrew Kerr, show that her and her husband’s net worth skyrocketed by at least 3,500% in just one year. This makes the Pelosis look like paupers. They paupers. Omar’s extraordinary accumulation of wealth in 2024 last year could raise uncomfortable questions for the Minnesota Democrat, who in February told Business Insider that she’s been the subject of a coordinated right wing disinformation campaign that falsely claims she’s worth millions of dollars. Well, that’s what she claimed. Omar said any insinuation that she’s worth more than a few thousand dollars was ridiculous and categorically false. She also took to Twitter in February challenging her followers to maybe try checking my public financial statements. And you’ll see I barely have thousands, let alone millions. Omar has her husband to thank for catapulting her to multimillionaire status. In 20, 24 minutes, California based winery and venture capital firm Take Bold Both achieved remarkable financial turnarounds in 2024. Imagine that the end of 2023 minutes combined stake in both companies was worth no more than $51,000. The firm said less than $700 across all their bank accounts. And my Net and his business partner, former DNC adviser William Taylor, were saddled with lawsuits from investors claiming they defrauded them out of millions of dollars. But by the end of 2024, my Nets combined stake in the two firms ballooned to anywhere between 6,000,030 million. And he and Haley settled all the lawsuits with cash Settlements, reports the Washington Free Beacon. My Nets business activities have long been a thorn in Omar’s side, ever since they married in March 2020. They were both married to other people when they met, but the pair began an affair. Isn’t that inappropriate for a. Islamist, Mr. Reducer? Maybe not. Maybe Islamists can have multiple wives. Whatever. While Monette served as a political consultant at Omar’s campaign, which pays this firm a whopping 2.9 million during the 2020 election cycle. Ladies and gentlemen, this begs for a criminal investigation. Hello, DOJ. This begs for a criminal investigation. But that was fleeting arrangement that the financial ties between Omar’s campaign and her new husband’s firm to intense public scrutiny. And by the end of 2020, Monette had exited the political consulting business and teamed up with Haley to branch out into the winery and venture capital industries. Let me get this straight. So the guys broke. They got all these lawsuits. He’s a political consultant. Then he becomes a multimillionaire. He sells his business, and now he’s in the winery and venture capital industry. Wow. This guy’s got quite a Renaissance background, doesn’t he, Rich? My net stake in his California winery was worth no more than $50,000 at the end of 2023. Omar disclosed the winery just $650 in its bank account in February 2024, according to court documents obtained by the Minnesota Reformer, and was facing a lawsuit from Washington, D.C. businessman Naim Ahmad, alleging Barnett and Heller failed to pay up after promising to triple as $300,000 investment in the winery in just 18 months. Now Mode filed the suit in California against my dad and Haley in 2023, seeking 700,000 780,000 that is in damages. He filed a motion to drop the suit on November 24 after reaching a settlement with the winery. The Free Beacon has learned. We did settle and the amount was paid. His attorney, Faisal Gill, told the Free Beacon. Gill declined to share the exact amount of this settlement. Medad and Heller did not return a request for comment, but Monette remembered the husband of Omar. Monette and Heyler formed a Rose Lake Capitol on 2022 claims on its website to have $60 billion in assets under management and boasts an extensive global network and expertise in structuring legislation. Oh, imagine. The firm’s advisory board includes two former Barack Obama ambassadors Max Baucus and J. Adam Early, as well as former Amalgamated Bank CEO Keith Stritch. Shortly after Minnick launched Rose Lake Capital, Omar formed the U.S. Africa Policy Working Group, where Omar leads a group of 20 members of Congress committed to building partnerships with the continent of Africa. Since then, both Omar and Monette, husband and wife, have been pictured at events hosted by the group, a company that helps facilitate international investments in Africa. Got that. Omar was the key speaker at the event where African leaders and partners form in 2023, where she advocated for U.S. investment in Africa, called on Congress to institute policies, including, quote, a $44 billion lifeline for African communities. Now, during that same forum, Hayler, in his capacity as Rose Lake CEO, facilitated a panel discussion on the challenges faced by investors seeking to get their funds out of African countries. This is such a scam. This is such a disgusting scam happening right in front of our eyes. The Washington Free Beacon has laid it out. And really, I am not kidding. The public integrity section of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice should be taking this up. Absolutely, 100%. Rose like capital is my net inhaler. Second venture capital firm there first used to state on its website that it managed investment funds dedicated to Africa and cannabis. Before my dad left the first firm in 2022, he and Heyler formed a subsidiary called Badlands Ventures to facilitate the firm’s marijuana investments. What is with this marijuana stuff? Boner is a lobbyist for cannabis. And what is with these political head cases? Oh yes. Badlands and Turn received 3.5 million from a pair of South Dakota cannabis companies in early 2022 who later filed suit, alleging the firm diverted 1.7 million of their investment for purposes other than Badlands Ventures business. Folks, you would think with this trail. And this son immense wealth. That a criminal investigation would have been opened already. When cannabis investors demanded that money back. Haley claim the Office of Foreign Assets Control had placed a hold on the funds, the lawsuit stated. And it goes on. Of course, they settled that suit for 1.2 million. The outlet reported the Minnesota reform that it’s unclear how Heller was able to pay the settlement, noting court documents that showed he had less than $750 in the bank. Okay. Less than 750 in the bank. Omar reports that she and her husband are worth between six and 30 million. Last year, they barely two nickels to rub together. Okay, that’s enough already. That’s enough of this fraud. This Islamist Marxist fraud. That’s enough. Right in front of our eyes. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
I want to thank all of you for purchasing on Power Week five on The New York Times best seller list number two this week with the fifth week in a row. I cannot thank you enough, and I hope you’re enjoying the book and learning from the book and most importantly, spreading the word that’s in the book and using the book. We help defend our country and make sense of what’s going on so people know how to fight what’s taking place. I mean, this Ilhan Omar stuff is you got these clowns, including some of the Republicans in the House, keep talking about Epstein. Why don’t they open an ethics investigation? And the House Ethics Committee right now, Ilhan Omar and her husband. How do you go from nothing to almost what was a $30 million? All these lawsuits mysteriously settled. I mean, we the people have a right to know. Doesn’t the the House of Representatives, the House of Representatives have to have some level of self-respect here? She needs to be investigated. All right. We got tons more. We’ll be right back.
