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

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Obviously you do. But those people who don’t think immigration has an impact. And mass immigration, legal and illegal, without assimilation. That that doesn’t have an impact. Well, you couldn’t be more wrong. Every Friday from Aristotle to Cicero. To the Founding Fathers. All the way up to the seventies. Even Democrats understood that it did. You have a complete cultural change, a societal change. When you do to a nation what’s been done to our nation? What’s been done to Europe? And it’s not done with. It’s not over. We’re seeing a very bleak period around the planet now. A dark period. Dark clouds hovering over virtually every western society. And those dark clouds. Are the imposition of a Marxist Islamist ideology and the smothering the smothering of the Enlightenment. And it is stunning how quickly this has happened. But it’s happened and it’s happening again across the planet in our own country. The Democrats want this. The Labor Party wants it. The Liberal Party is wanted. The Socialist parties want it. The left wants it regardless of what they call themselves because they’re power hungry. They will be, unfortunately for them, eliminated once this. Revolution by immigration is completed. They are useful idiots. Over at Breitbart, one of the great sites. John Binder writes Decades of mass legal immigration in New York City, New York, have propelled socialist should be Marxist Islamist zero Madness campaign to be their next city, their be the city’s next mayor. A new poll reveals. The poll, published by Patriot Polling, shows New York City’s foreign born voters are lining up in droves to support Mamdani, an immigrant himself, and his agenda against former New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo and lifelong New Yorker Curtis Leeward. While the polls show Mamdani leading with 43%, the mayoral race. His lead with the city’s foreign born voting base is vastly larger. Among New York City voters born outside the United States Monday, he leads with a whopping 62%, compared to Cuomo’s 24%. Inslee was 12. Meanwhile, among native born Americans in New York City, Cuomo leads with 40% and Army 31 sliver with 25. Catholic and Jewish voters, the poll finds, are also turned off to Army, with just 29% of Catholics supporting the socialist and 30% of Jews. Those Jews have to be absolutely insane. Cuomo leads with both groups 41% from Catholics, 63% from Jews. Now, interestingly, they write, despite Mendham claiming to be the voice of New York City’s downtrodden, poor and working class, his base of support resides in the most expensive boroughs, Manhattan and Brooklyn. The policies mandate me leading in Manhattan, where the average rent is more than $5,700 a month, with 47%. And in Brooklyn, where the average rent is nearly 4500 a month with 55%. The Bronx by far New York City’s least costly borough to live in peripheries. CUOMO The man army by a thin margin, while Madani falls far behind. CUOMO And sliver. In Staten Island. So immigration. Now, obviously, all immigrants are not like this. I meet them all the time. Wonderful people come to the book signings and other events. So I’m excluding those who come here, who become American patriots with allegiance to America. I’m not talking about them. The problem is there’s not enough of them, legal or illegal. We have been so inundated with foreigners in this country at a clip we’ve never seen before. And even before, when we saw significant immigration into the country, there was an assimilation process in our public schools, in local government and state government and in our media. No such assimilation process exists anymore. The radical left wing extremist teachers union run K through 12 the Iraq War, left wing extremists in the faculty at one college after another. Our media is filled. Filled with people who hate the country. And so the culture. Has been largely devoured. We even see it in some faiths. We even see it in some churches and synagogues. What’s taking place. So the only pushback there is shows like mine. But at the kitchen table, at the dinner table, that is the family itself. There’s really no other pushback, no other organized or systemic pushback. So the instrumentalities of a society that are supposed to be used to reinforce that society. Have been conquered. 1619 Project CRT DIY. Marx’s economic and socialist economic belief systems. It’s true. And so in New York, what we see is that the immigrant population, including the legal immigrant population. Is voting overwhelmingly for Mamdani. When you have. Citizens, people not even naturalized citizens. Citizens, People born in our country. We’re not taught the fundamentals of this country. The greatness of this country. Patriotism and allegiance to this country, but the opposite, that the country is no damn good, that it was founded in a bastardized society. That it is racist. That it is bigoted. That it is unfair. That it’s unequal. That there’s too many billionaires and on and on and on. With the Marxist claptrap now intermingled with the Islamist claptrap. The radical Islamist claptrap. You have a poisonous brew. You have a metastasizing cancer. It’s all over Europe. But it’s in America. It’s in America right now. When you debate. Amanda Smith These are the things that should be brought up. There’s a debate in about 45 minutes, another debate. The Democrat Party is in on this now. The Democrat Party is relying on these societal elements, on these populations, on these ideologies for power. It has abandoned the American founding American history, the American Declaration and Constitution. They only bring it up when they think they can use it against their opponents, but they don’t believe in it. They don’t believe in power, taking power, separation of powers. They don’t believe in it. They don’t believe in elections. And don’t hear me, Donald Trump. They don’t believe in elections. That’s why they rely so much on unelected judges, particularly at the trial level, seven or 800 of them. That’s why they massively build up their bureaucracy. The leviathan. The leviathan. And that’s why they will fight to the bitter end to expand it. And to increase programs. They spend us in a bankruptcy, not on your behalf, but on behalf of government. Government first and foremost, that is their their tool by which to control we the people. Even now, they have, quote unquote, shut down the government. Why? Because they want to add $1.5 trillion to it. So what’s a little despotism? As Mark said. On the way to the Promised Land. So farm born voters are behind Zorn. Hammond Dam is huge lead in the New York City mayoral race. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
I want to congratulate Eric Trump. His book, Under Siege, which is a fantastic book it was announced a little while ago, was number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Not just nonfiction, but nonfiction as well as. Electronic. I’ll tell you why I’m mentioning this as just having this discussion, Mr. Producer. During the break, we have a lot of authors on this program. One, because I like books and I like a number, the authors. We’re going to be a great author on next hour with a great book. When people come on this program, they often wind up number one on Amazon, number one on the New York Times list. Same with my Fox show. So we are inundated, aren’t we, Mr. Producer? I mean, literally inundated. We must get two or three requests a week, sometimes more, particularly during the holidays. The big crunch for books. I almost never get a thank you. I must never get a thank you. I had people contact me who I’ve never met before, but they’ve a good book. All right. Trump was on this program. He was on my FOX show. We did an exclusive first interview. We launched it on the Sunday before the Tuesday when it came out. He wrote me a beautiful text. Thanks me for supporting him. The book. With enthusiasm. He can’t thank me enough. Now, first of all. He was going to do well no matter what. But this is a tough business. The book business, the radio business, the TV business, in the sense of getting to the top being number one. But he didn’t have to do that. But he did it. I’m just trying to show you the kind of class these people have in the Trump family. I helped the senator the other day. I’m not going to use his name. The only time he came on the show was the Hawkins book. But I like this book. He got number one. Never heard from him again, did we, Mr. Wallace? Not a word. That’s the difference. I’m just telling you, you know, people get interested in how this stuff works. Breitbart. Gavin Newsom rocked by polls showing him losing Democratic nomination drive to Kamala Harris. Writes Walter Todd Huston. And you know what? People may be getting tired of his act. They may be getting tired of his act. He’s a fraud, a phony and a fool. And he’s a complete failure in every respect. Radical governor. Of California, Gavin Newsom has been rocked by a poll of 2028 Democrat presidential hopefuls that shows he is now losing to former Vice President Kamala Harris. A noble Predictive Insights poll conducted over the first week of October found the Newsom is trailing Harris for the nomination. This poll shows Newsom’s assumption that he’s the frontrunner is not exactly a foregone conclusion. The poll placed Harris at 33% among Democrats, 27% with independents. But Newsom was behind 13% among Democrats and back 3% with independents. Other candidates in the poll include New York Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Four. What for? What? What has she done? What does she know? What is she said? She’s a moron. Who ranked third with a mere 8%, followed by former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Another complete failure with 7%. Now, you already have talk show hosts in conservative talk radio hawking for. For J.D. Vance to be president of the United States, and he’s certainly in line for it. Vice president could get endorsed by Trump. I’m sure he would be fantastic candidate and president. But there’s going to be others, too. See, I keep my powder dry. There will be others, too. I hope there are others. It’s important. Maybe not. Maybe there won’t be. You never know. But in a lot of them, people do this not just talking about Vance and Silver because they want access. They want access. Should somebody get elected president. United States. I don’t care about access. I have access and I don’t even use it. Mr. Produce will tell you, I don’t even I rarely pick up the phone. And I almost never go to the White House or these other places, do I, Rich? Rich tells me to go. President says, Where are you? Other people tell me to go. I was invited on Air Force One to fly to Israel, to Nasser, but my brother was ill. I couldn’t do it. That would have been fun. But nonetheless, other people are desperate for access. I’m not. I’m desperate to save this country and I will back the person I think can do that because after Donald Trump. There’s not going to be anybody like Donald Trump. Some will try and so forth and so on. And so it’s very important we take each each person who wants to be president on their own merits and we analyze them on their own merits, what they’re capable of doing, what they’ve already done, what they say, what they’ve already done. I was an early Reaganite 1976. We’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Let’s keep at this told you this, Mary says national and international implications. Absolutely. Can you imagine this country in 50 years? If this keeps up 50 years, it won’t exist. Your children won’t be living in the same country. There will be Sharia law and big pockets of America, if not beyond. There’ll be judges who rule that way. This is a cancer. Radical Islamism, jihadism. It doesn’t just go away. It’s not the way it works. And it’s here right now. It’s here right now. I don’t care if somebody is wearing a smile and a suit in a tie and a watch. I don’t care if they’re charismatic, more charismatic, the more dangerous. Breitbart again exclusive Tut. 911 Lawyer We can’t let Mamdani near City Hall. Survivors, first responders, victims families from the 911 community are disgusted and outraged by Zohran Mamdani’s decision to campaign and pose for a smiling photo with a radical imam once named. He wasn’t named in unindicted co-conspirator, but he was a character witness. For the very imam. He tried to blow up and did blow up parts of the World Trade Center. Talking about leading 911 attorney Michael Barasch, whose firm represents more than 45,000 clients. He called the encounter an insult to every 9/11 survivor and family member. An exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Tuesday. Barasch, the renowned 911 lawyer managing partner Barasch McGarry. Said his phone had been ringing off the hook since the photo emerged on Saturday as first responders, survivors and families voiced disgust over a Mamdani embrace of Siraj, Wash. We discussed this at length yesterday. The Brooklyn Imam tied to anti-American extremism. We can’t let Mamdani into City Hall, he warned. Now they can have another debate in New York in about a half hour. I believe it begins. Let’s hope the moderators know what the hell they’re doing and dig into this stuff. Because the last time they did it, they were a joke. Borash said the backlash was immediate. Why is he currying favor with extremist Muslims? They’re not voting. Excuse me. They’re not voting for him anyway, he said. All they’re doing is sowing hatred, the kind of hatred that led to the attacks on 1993 and 2001. So why would Zohra Mamdani give this radical imam the time of day? I don’t get it. Neither do my clients. So I get it. Because he agrees with them. What do you mean? I don’t get it. He’s one of them. He’s one of the. Doesn’t anybody get it? He’s one of them. He hangs around terrorists. He promotes terrorist organizations. Well, what the hell do you call that? The renowned 911 lawyers stressed that the outrage stretches well beyond first responders. Well, I hope so. The polls are telling us we have a big problem. Big problem. Barasch said. Outrage across the 911 acute community is almost unanimous. We have to stay away from Islamist extremists, he warned. I represent moderate Muslims, Jews and Christians. The toxic dust didn’t discriminate Madame’s embrace of wage insults. Every single person in the 911 community and it’s not just the 911 community, it’s the country. He does not believe in our country. He does not believe in our founding. He does not believe in the Enlightenment. Locke and Montesquieu. He doesn’t believe in separation of powers. He doesn’t believe in our constitutional system. He doesn’t believe in it. He wants the society to collapse. That’s why he doesn’t support the cops. It’s that simple. You can go around and talk about affordability, all he wants to do with affordability. Nothing. This election is about survivability, not affordability. It’s shocking. And yet here we are. The person people should be turning to drop out of the race is Mamdani. Of course he won’t. But that’s where all the focus should be. The laser focus. He’s the guy. Given all this. Are you kidding me? Unbelievable. In America, you might. Okay, that’s New York. I don’t live in the I look in Peoria, I live in Lawrenceville. I I’m okay. I’m here in Mississippi. I’m in Minnesota. I’m in Minnesota. Oh, yeah. Every corner of the country is either affected or is going to be affected. It’s not just New York City. New York City was easy. Sanctuary city. Massive illegal legal immigration. Leftist Democrats. They changed. The primary voting system was easy. Now on to the rest of the country. It’s happening right now. Right now. In every corner of the country. Who would have ever thought that Dearborn would be Dearborn, Istanbul, the home of the Ford Motor Company? American ingenuity. Well, there it is. It’s happening all over New Jersey. All over Michigan. Even Texas. Where one group of imams wants to create their own. Effectively state within a state. Where only Muslims can live and only certain types of Muslims. Now who did this to us? Was it the Republicans? Was it Donald Trump? No, it was the Democrats. It was Biden. I want to remind you, Democrats and Biden, they did this. And this is why the Democrat Party is susceptible to the so-called Democratic Socialist Party, the Marxist Islamist party that has infiltrated it with Bernie Sanders, with AOC, with Talib and Omar and Madani. That’s exactly what’s gone on here. One more. Can we stand One more from the Jewish insider? Over 650 rabbis speak out against Mondawmin as threat to safety and dignity of Jews in every city. And I’d say, Well, that’s not surprising. And why did I read that to you? Well, the priests were the pastors. Where all the organizations. That promotes civil liberties. At least they say they do. Where are they? They’re nowhere. Absolutely nowhere. Now, this ideology owns the Democrat Party. Here’s a story. Almost all Senate Democrats urge Trump to reinforced opposition to West Bank annexation. That would be Judea and Samaria. West Bank. Our position. That is the ancestral homeland for 4000 years to the Jewish people. Judaism was born in a little town called. Shiloh in Judea. The Palestinians, who are nowhere to be found for thousands of years, claim that is theirs. The Democrat Party, almost all the senators. Urging Trump. Don’t allow the Jews to annex how you annex your industrial, your ancestral homeland. Who should it go to? The mundane. DAVIES Of the world, the Talibs of the world. Apparently so. That’s the position of the Democrat Party. That’s the position of Qatar. In Jordan. In the Arab and Muslim world. That’s the birthplace. Of Judaism, the birthplace of Christianity, effectively is the birthplace of Jesus. Bethlehem. Bethlehem has been conquered. But crusade. Of Muslims. Who’ve populated the city in a force that the Christians. The birthplace of Jesus Christ. Really? I would argue the birthplace of Christianity. Certainly one of them is not controlled by the Palestinians or anyone in the Bible. They were never there, ever. They came there very recently, certainly not in ancient times. And so now if you go to Bethlehem and you want to see, particularly if you’re Christian and you want to see the birthplace of Jesus Christ, you take your life in your own hands. In your own hands. I wonder what the Senate Democrats would say that you know what they’d say of that. Too bad. Too bad because most of them are not people of faith, whether it’s Judaism and Christianity. They’re just not they’re Democrats. That’s who they are and that’s what they are. So the birthplace of the Jewish faith. The ancestral home of the Jews. It is said, should not be annexed by the Jews. And then they they call the Jews who live there. Settlers. There are settlers. Now, if that’s not as backwards, I don’t know what is. And then Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. That’s now Palestinian. 85 to 90% of the town is now Palestinian. That’s it. So that the Christians wanted to take back their town. I guess that would be called annexation, too, right? She of the oldest of the three, Faith Judaism, the second oldest of the three, face Christianity. They have nowhere to go. According to the Islamists, they have nowhere to go, according to the Senate Democrats. They have nowhere to go, according to Mamdani, nowhere to go. Nowhere. Now, all the countries that surround the Holy Land are Arab and or Muslim. All of them. Hundreds of millions of people. Now, what do you expect when people are coming into our country? Fairly recent immigrants, legal and illegal. And I’m talking about the Islamists and the Marxists, not about others who really want to assimilate into America. I’m not talking about them. And there are many of them, just not enough. When you don’t have a proper vetting system. When you basically have a worldwide break into the country. He get whatever gets into the country. And when you lose your assimilation system, your process, because the left doesn’t believe in it. So they’ve destroyed it. In fact, they teach recent immigrants to hate America. That’s what they teach them. It’s racist. It’s white supremacist, male dominated, Christian dominated, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That’s what they hear every damn day in schools, in the media, in colleges and so forth. So it’s worse than a lack of assimilation. It is our kind of word, the assimilation of our society. And so they break into these subcultures. And these subcultures can be ethnic, they can be religious, they can be economic. And what we have here is this fusion, as I keep saying, for years now, a Marxism, an Islamism. It’s not about Israel and about Jews. Well, it is, obviously, but it’s also about Christians in the United States. Are people of any faith or no faith. Who want to live in a free country and not be dictated to. That’s what’s on the ballot in New York. And the mediators, the moderators are just too damn stupid to confront it. And to see they don’t want to be viewed as, you know, anti this or anti you that. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
I was on Hannity last night. How much time do we have, Rich? Not enough. While I was on hand any night public service announcement. Here’s Prime Minister Netanyahu with Vice President Vance in Israel today. Cut to go first. And the last year, we’ve had an unmatched alliance and partnership with the United States. That is changing the Middle East and it’s also changing the world. It creates opportunities not only for security, but for the expansion of peace, which we’re working on very, very diligently. And it’s just unmatched. I’ve been here a few years. You know, I’ve been through several administrations. I welcome the partnership and the assistance we’ve had, but there’s never been anything like that. And President Trump said that it’s like a partnership. It’s never, never happened before. Well, that includes a close circle, both on our side and on the American side and President Trump. Those who he picks for that sort of. One of the members, to put it mildly, is the vice president. We’ve had the opportunity to make decisions jointly in a very tight knit and trusting partnership. And I was impressed. I was impressed with the. I was impressed with your clarity, with your incisiveness, with your solidarity for our common cause, and the just a genuine friendship that I saw in both in the conference meetings but also in our private meetings. And it’s in that spirit that I very much welcome you to Jerusalem in these days of destiny. We’re changing the face of the Middle East. Nobody really talks like he does, do they? Very historic figure, right in modern times. And I’m glad to hear all this. I am. I’m glad to hear all this. And here’s Vance. Cut three. Go. As the prime minister said, these are days of destiny. And we’re very excited to sit down and work together on the Gaza peace plan. And we have a very, very tough task ahead of us, which is to disarm Hamas, but rebuild Gaza, to make life better for the people in Gaza, but also to ensure that Hamas is no longer a threat to our friends in Israel. That’s not easy. I think the prime minister knows that as well as anybody. But it’s something that we’re committed to in the Trump administration. And I think that we’ve even in the past 24 hours, had a lot of good conversations with our friends in the Israeli government, but also, frankly, with our friends in the Arab world who are stepping up and volunteering to play a very positive role in this. So while let me just say this, I read. Last night and you’ll hear it after the break. But the emir of Qatar had to say, I believe that’s going to be in that cut, isn’t it? Mr. Producer? It is. I think so. And you’ll see the very positive role Qatar is playing, not. I’ll be right back.
