On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, the situation in New York City, where Jews, synagogues, and Jewish neighborhoods face violent attacks, hounding, and harassment, is a disaster and disgrace—but it is occurring across the entire country. The ruling class is to blame, particularly intensified under the Biden administration, with open borders, efforts to undermine ICE and border patrol, and the failure to remove threats. Urgent action is required: take every legal and law enforcement step to deport imams and phony scholars, shut down groups like CAIR, and defund and clean out colleges and universities. Councilwoman Vickie Paladino calls in and condemns the organized antisemitic violence and calls for a City Council investigation into the funding and organizers. Also, one of the reasons we have so-called forever wars is that we do not go to war in pursue absolute victories, which means the elimination of regimes. Indeed, those who talk about forever wars also insist that we not seek total victories, criticizing “regime change,” and often confusing regime change with democracy projects. Later, California Governor candidate Steve Hilton calls in to give an update on the race. After 16 years of one-party rule, dissatisfaction is rising, as the wrong-track number has climbed from the mid-to-high 40s in 2022 to the mid-to-high 50s today, signaling strong demand for change. Hilton is campaigning on a straightforward platform focused on working-class issues, small business, tax cuts, affordable housing, and $3 gas. With ballots already mailed for a month of early voting, he urges immediate voting to capitalize on the opportunity. Finally, the Daily Mail is detailing the horrors of October 7, 2023, describing monstrous acts including gang rapes so brutal that victims’ pelvic bones broke, mass shootings causing effective decapitations, and dismemberment of bodies. This was deliberate, planned violence against innocent people. Remember that next time someone cries over Israel defending itself against Hamas or Hezbollah thugs.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. We’re going to have Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, district 19, of Northeast Queens, on the program. Obviously, New York City at the bottom of the hour, did talk about what’s happening in New York City, which is a disaster and a disgrace. But the truth is, it’s happening all over the country. All over the country. Jews, synagogues, Jewish neighborhoods are under attack. Violent attack. They’re being hounded. They’re being pushed around. They’re having light shined into their eyes and so forth and so on. These are multiple crystal knocks that are going on right now. You want to know what it was like in Germany in the 1930s? You’re starting to see it. Germany was the most advanced country in Europe. Architecture, art, literature. Music. And look what happened. We’re the most advanced country in the face of the earth. Look what’s happening. And in many cases, I blame our ruling class. For what is taking about 15 years to take place. Very much intensified under the Biden years. All predictable with open borders now predictable with the war on ice and the Border Patrol to try and destroy them. So we can’t remove these people. And they need to be removed. Every step, legal step, possible law enforcement step possible, must be taken to remove these imams. To remove these phony scholars. To shut down their groups like care. They clean out our colleges and universities. Including de-funding them. Starving them of that taxpayer dollars that they they need for their sustenance. The time is now. And if not now, when? And if it goes on much longer, it’s irreversible. It’s time for Democrats. To start speaking out against what’s going on in their party. Immediately. Not just Fetterman. Not just a handful who are Jewish. Republicans are speaking out. I see it online all the time. I hear them all the time. There’s a justice on the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. His name is David Wecht. He’s a well-known liberal Democrat. Justice. Who helped lead the way. They’re trying to stop two very, very important cases. They were going to the U.S. Supreme Court and they did go to the U.S. Supreme Court. Sam Alito, it appeared, wanted to take them. But they couldn’t get four votes that take them in the. 2000 election. And that justice who was elected as a Democrat. Jess resigned from the Democrat Party. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht. Leaves the Democrat Party over acquiescence to Jew hatred. That justice from Allegheny County, Pittsburgh area city was no longer registered with any political party. Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Wecht leaves the Democrat Party. He announced it yesterday. He, 63, had been a member of the court’s liberal 5 to 2 majority. And was retained for a second ten year term in November in an election that Democratic donors in the Democratic Party spent millions on. He said he’s no longer registered with any party. He’s a lib, so he’ll never be a Republican. But he can’t handle his own party anymore. The justice from Allegheny County said in a statement that his former party had changed since he was the Pennsylvania Democratic Party’s vice chair 25 years ago. When a gunman in 2018 targeted Jewish worshippers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue. Where he was married. The assailant was motivated by right wing ideology says Not really. It was a Trump hater. A Trump hater. But in the years since, that same hatred has grown. On the left, he says, Nazi tattoos, jihadist chants, intimidation and attacks at synagogues. Other hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored, even coddled. Acquiescence to Jew hatred is now disturbingly common among activists, leaders, even many elected officials in the Democrat Party. I can no longer abide this, he says. While Schumer can abide it, he’s Jewish. He’s all right with it. The Nazi tattoo’s reference appears to be about Graham Plattner Yeah, really very smart. Philadelphia Inquirer. The chamber did not make him available on Monday and only said the change followed many recent events across the nation. Eugene Gwala, the chair of the Democrat Party in Pennsylvania, did not immediately respond. Senator John Fetterman, a Democrat whose future party affiliated affiliation has been a topic of media reports in recent days, said in a post on X that Democratic Party must control its own rising anti-Semitism problem. He said. As I’ve affirmed, I’m not changing my party, but I fully understand David’s personal choice. And it goes on. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to be clear about something. You’ve been with me for a long time. Some of you more recently. But many of you for a long time. When I saw this starting to percolate in the Republican Party. I said to my wife, and she will attest to this, Julie. I’ve got to go down into the sewer and deal with this. Because we cannot allow the Republican Party to be devoured by the same bigotry and hatred that is devouring the Democrat Party. I told her I have to do it on radio. And I pray to God that our radio owners and radio managers all over the country will stand by me in every single one of them has every single one. I told my wife from time to time, I’m going to have to use my cable presence and platform to do the same. And as a result of that, I’ve been under intense attack day in and day out. And I don’t care. You have one life to live. Either live it the right way or you don’t. The right way or you don’t. And we have done a pretty good job of pushing this element out of our party and out of our movement. We are people who’ve never been MAGA saying that. I’ve never been MAGA, which is a lie. But I know what I have been I’ve been involved in the conservative movement since I was 13 years old. That’s 55 years. I have fought for it. I’ve debated for it. I’ve argued for it. I’ve campaigned for it. I’ve written about it repeatedly. We’ve been involved in important presidential elections, you and I. Conservatives challenged the Republican establishment and so forth. I don’t need lectures from a Tucker Carlson or a megyn Kelly or a Piers Morgan or these people, these newbies. They have done nothing. For liberty and conservatism and constitutionalism. Zero. When you were. anti-Establishment. That doesn’t mean you’re anti-American. You’re anti-establishment doesn’t mean you’re anti United States military. When you’re anti-establishment, that doesn’t mean you’re anti Judeo-Christian values and beliefs and principles. When you’re anti-establishment, it doesn’t mean you’re anti constitutional Declaration of Independence. American History in the Founders. On the contrary. When you’re anti-establishment, it’s because you reject the perversion. And what we’ve been handed, what we’ve inherited from past generations. And so it is that you and I together. Mr. and Mrs. America. For half a century. Have led this movement. This movement. They brought us Ronald Reagan. For eight years, we’ve led this movement. That brought us the Tea Party and convention of states. And ultimately Donald Trump. And we will continue to fight in this movement in the 2028. Presidential primary to. We’re not going to be pushed out. We’re not going to be pushed aside. We’re not going to be demeaned. We’re not going to take second place to anybody or anything. I don’t give a damn if they’re podcasters or broadcasters. It doesn’t matter to me and it doesn’t matter to you. We have a hell of a fight on our hands. From the Marxist Islamists and the Democrat Party. And this woke, right? Neo fascists. Though. Very dangerous. Very dangerous. They reject Americanism. And you can see. When it turns into populism. Look at your Constitution is that populism? It’s Republicanism. Populism. Look at the Bill of Rights. It’s nothing to do with populism. It has to do with your unalienable rights as a single human being. Read your declaration set about populism. It’s about the consent of the governed, not populism. We don’t have plebiscites every time something’s going on. What kind of a hell would we be living in then? We have rights given to us by God and morons who don’t understand it are a problem on the left and the fascistic right, on the Marxist left and the fascistic right, and of course, the Islamist movement. That is leached into our country and now is sprinting into our country. Because it’s motivated. It sees that it’s conquered London, it’s conquered Paris, it’s conquered capitals throughout the world. And now it seeks to cap conquer New York City and beyond. Do we have a ruling class that’s capable of fighting this? Do we have a ruling class that’s capable of standing up for our country? Do they have the will? Do they have the way? Do we? Not in New York City. Not in New York City when the mayor. Is a Marxist Islamist. When the mayor hates our country, when the mayor hates our economic system, when the mayor hates working men and women. And talks out of both sides of his rather big mouth. This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. It doesn’t mean you have to be Jewish or Christian, but those are the principles upon which it was founded. Which is why it embraces the Enlightenment. Which is why diversity is supposed to be perfectly fine. This is where liberty comes from. Free will comes from equality, not of results, not of the Marxist. Bastardization of the word equality. Every human being has a value. What took place in New York City last night in Brooklyn with a significant Jewish population and Crown Heights. And it’s happening many nights now. Many days now. Must be stopped. People must be arrested. And brought to justice. And if they are here on visas, if they are here illegally, they must be removed no matter what any federal judge has to say about it. Due process, they say. And they want you to believe due process like it’s a criminal case. Due process. These aren’t criminal cases, they’re immigration cases. Due process has nothing to do with the kind of due process that exists in criminal cases. If you don’t have a right to be here, you have a process, not a due process, as you have under the Bill of Rights. It’s time to remove these people. And if some of them have been naturalized, it’s time to be naturalized them. I don’t care if we have to hire a thousand more prosecutors or a hundred thousand more prosecutors. We got to do what we got to do. And remove the enemy within. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
We’ve got a lot to cover tonight. We have this wonderful guest in a few minutes at the bottom of the hour. But forever wars. You know why we’re involved in forever wars? Anybody know why we’re involved in forever wars? Because we seem to go to war from time to time without finishing them. In other words, without seeking. Victory. Victory. We hit the brakes, we stick our heels in the dirt. Victory. It’s not the simplest thing. It can be done. It’s not the prettiest thing. Victory against Iran. Means not just defeating their military. It means not just choking off their oil. It means destroying the regime. And the people who claim they don’t like forever wars don’t want us to destroy the regime. You hear them all the time. Destroy that damn regime. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
We’re here with Councilwoman Vicki Paladino, District 19 Northeast Queens. How are you? Oh, good afternoon, Mike. How are you? I am good. Now, how many council people are there, by the way? There’s 51 council members, maybe one. 51. How many Republicans? Five five. That sounds fair to me. No, it’s not. You want to know how many radicals there are in them? I’m guessing about 45. You’re very close to that. But they call themselves the Progressive Caucus is made up of 24. Out of the 51 council members are considered themselves DSA candidates. No really crazy. So almost half of the Dandenongs four were communists. Okay. Yep. Exactly. Exactly. So what do you. What do you mean? I know what you make of what’s going on in New York. It’s horrendous. But what can be done about this? You got this crazy mayor. You tell me. 24 members of 51 body councils for these commies. I mean, what do you do? Well, I think it’s time for us to put our heads together and figure that out. But with the mayor as he is, I think what happened here last night was just another piece of the puzzle of what mandate he has been putting together. Michael And I don’t call him my mayor because he’s not my mayor. I’ve been picking at his bones since he first started to run for this office and try to enlighten the people about his background. He only became a citizen only 34 years old. I only became a citizen about seven or eight years ago. His father teaches Marxism, is a tenured professor at Columbia University, and his mother works for Disney. She produces and directs for Disney. And he’s a multimillionaire, his parents in their own right. And she said once in an interview back in 2016 or thereabouts that her son will never be an American, not ever. So she was right about that. Yes, she was actually right about that. So we have those rants and those that he surrounds himself with. And this is his agenda. Everybody thinks, make no mistake, you know, that this is exactly what Joe ran was elected to facilitate. It had nothing to do with the free buses that he promised people or the public services or for the working class. He didn’t do any of that. He lied about everything during his campaign and when he won this election. I have to tell you, that was a very dark day for me. I won mine by a landslide that very same day, and I could not celebrate. You know, I went out to all my supporters that were in my campaign office. I tried really hard to be upbeat. I soldiered day, but we had a big screen TV and there he was. And, you know, his acceptance speech was absolutely deplorable. It was horrible. And you just got this sinking feeling in your chest. You knew what was going to come if you were educated on who this guy actually is and was and still is. You realize that you’re facing do look, this is facing you because his way of approaching everything is run by government and government. This. He wants your house. He wants government run grocery stores. He want everything is about the government. And in essence, what he’s doing is he’s killing small business. He’s killing businesses of all kinds. You see, the billionaires are pulling out of here. Their multibillion dollar companies are pulling out. He does these ridiculous videos. Then our cops our cops are being browbeaten every single day. It’s rough justice. I was so happy that she stayed on as commissioner. But it’s got to be very hard for her working with a man like this. You know, I have yet to have a conversation with children. Who knows if I ever will. But I will tell you, his attack on the Jews has been beyond beyond anything you could ever in your wildest dreams, Mark. You’ve been around a long time. So have I. And I never thought I would live to see what I saw last night and what we saw last week. It’s getting to be a weekly event where these people are organized. Make no mistake that this is not popups. These are organized people who go out to facilitate exactly what they did last night in front of that synagogue. They laid the plan that then they proceeded to beat up, that they got out of hand, stole 5500 cops, had to be called in, 500 had to be called in, and they could not control the crowd. And part of the New York City Department, NYPD, is the group which stands for the strategic Response group Isrg. And they are specially specifically trained for any outbursts such as this. And Eric Adams used them a lot during the protests at the universities two years back. But so and didn’t call them out. They wanted to do away with the dog, which is just beyond stupid and just wanted to debilitate our cops. He thinks social workers and going out and trying to fix this problem, it’s like the boy at the damn. You know, put his finger in the dam hoping to hold it back. No, he. It’s word salad. These are all if I want the city council. Actually, I want all New York City Council to call for a massive investigation into who organized this and when to fund these groups. Okay. Because this is this is not something that just happens. Okay. The fact is, if anybody lives in New York and is listening to this show, the fact is, is that our tax dollars are going to you know, we’re funding this. All this illegal activity is coming through New York’s multibillion dollar non-for-profit. We have an industrial complex here of not for profit. And many of the staffers and appointees of both the Madonna administration and the city council has close ties to these people. So this is something, you know. What do you do to prevent this? You find out exactly who’s funding this. And this city is run so much by non for profits. And now he’s talking about $127 billion budget mark that the city council on June 30th is supposed to pass. Now, you saw Kathy Hochul, she’s all jammed up upstate New York to try to get a budget together. She was supposed to have a budget ready Mark, April 1st. Where are we? Well, May one. What’s today, May 15th, 68? I don’t even know. And it’s just it’s the 12th. Is it? I thought it was more than marathon. Anyway. It doesn’t matter, does it, really? Moscow know what to do. We got to cut the snake’s head off. We got to elect Bruce Blakeman and the governor. We need to change the head at the top. If we don’t, we will. Surely if she gets re-elected for another four years. I’m not a person who walks with doom and gloom. I don’t like it. It hurts me to do that. But reality is what reality? And if she doesn’t get voted out. And we don’t get a change at the head. The snake is just going to continue to live. Hmm. It’ll just grow another fall. Well, let me ask you this. At some point, should the feds come in? I mean, you’re dealing with federal offenses here. The way the synagogues are being treated, the Jewish communities are being treated. People are being assaulted. Yeah, They’re being beaten up. It’s bad. Yes, I do believe that the Fed should step in. Absolutely. If we. Because this is going to be a very long, hot summer here in New York. Very long. Very hot. And these people are out in full steam. Did you see the videos yesterday? Oh, my God. I did not. It’s it’s absolutely. And no leadership, Mark. The governor didn’t say a word to denounce it. The right word to do that. It’s not a word mock nothing. The speaker of the city council, a Jewish woman, leader of a city council, she did not come out right for a photo op when they did a bunch of synagogues. In Queens, where I live, not far from my district. He came out to take a picture and to denounce it quietly. Big deal. Okay. It’s time to step up and denounce that. The mayor isn’t saying denounce this and say what the mayor is saying. And there’s no leadership here. There are no. Why is that? What are they afraid of, Mort? I think they believe in all this. I think, Vicki, they believe in all this. This is this Marxism, Islamism. And it’s going to spread from Jews to Christians. You see what’s happening in Africa and Syria and all over Europe. The Christians are under attack, too. This isn’t going to stop unless it’s stopped. That’s 100% right. And I’ve been on so many shows today. But now you’re on the best one. Now I’m on the best one, Mark. You got it. What’s damn right, kid. Yeah. I remember you called me. You remember? You called me a great American. That. Why did they bother to come back in those days? And I called out the blackmail. So I started late in life. But this mouth hasn’t got mortgages. I’m 30 now. Have kids. That’s right. But this year, I don’t know. Mark, the feds need to come in. You’re right. These are federal offenses. They need to be delved into. We need a full blown investigation into a nonprofit there again. DOJ could come in here and start to dig into it, Nip it. Name us. What’s the first thing we’re trying to determine on Dr. Oz? Oh, yeah. Dr. Oz. Yeah. Yes. He needs to come in with a fine tooth comb and go over. Are some of our not for profits, especially those dealing with senior citizens. And now the early childhood programs that are being put into effect. Where is this money coming from? He already found not far from my district. The next district over my neighboring district in Flushing one one health care facility. $120 million in fraud. Hmm. Crazy. Okay. Can you imagine? Can you imagine if they actually came in here and did a sweep? They could set up an office here. Mm hmm. They should really, really do what needs to be done, because that’s the only way we’re going to get anything to happen here. But something’s got to be done about this mayor and his lack of seat. Not these. Can I tell you exactly what I think he’s doing? I think he’s trying to fundamentally alter this city, push out these billionaires and these businessmen, push out the juice, push his Marxist Islamist agenda, make sure that they can never lose another election citywide. And that’s all they care about. Power, power, power, power, power, power. And when you hear them chant last night, Allah Akbar. Okay. And they might be in insurance. That was. Okay. And you hear them praise all these people. It’s disgusting. But you know, right when you say they’re coming after the Christians as well, nobody should be sitting on their laurels now. Everybody should be up in arms that this is actually happening. And like you said, it wants to change New York and it’s working. It is only in office. He put his hand on the Koran. Yeah, 15 minutes, for God’s sakes. Okay. And he here four months. Five months. And what he’s done in five months time and how he’s planning to take apart a police. This is a big, huge, huge problem. But he doesn’t condemn anything. These are his people. He’s pro-Palestinian. These are his people. And I I’ll step out of the box and say that what? He was elected to the assembly and he was a do nothing assemblyman. The first time I laid eyes on this guy was in January of 2025 when Tom Hallman went up to Albany. Okay. And he got inches into Tom Homan space. I said to myself, Who is this person? Like, he had it right. Oh my God, It was awful. And Tom, of course, and his crew around him kept their cool. But this nasty little salt cell himself was in his face. And my son says to me, I have a son who’s 49. My son says to me, Man, that guy wants to run for mayor. And why the hell is he? Well, Vicki, don’t get mad at me. You are fantastic. Thank goodness you’re there. And a handful of you are there. Thank you for speaking out. We really appreciate it. The whole country’s heard you now is very, very poor. And I think the feds need to get in there and fix this as fast as they can, or it’s going to get completely out of control and we’ll never get it back in the box. And we’ll be lost. Will be lost. Will be lost. Maggie Paladino, District 19, Northeast Queens are very well represented here, folks. God bless you, my friend. Take care of yourself. Okay? Thank you. Thank you so much. All right. You be well. And she. Fantastic. We’ll be right back.
Segment 4
And by the way, in our three excuse me, hour two, we’re going to have Steve Hilton on the program. I want to help our folks as much as I can. We’ll see what happens in the end. But that’s not how I roll. That is no predictions. And we were in supporting Bill Steve Hilton early on. And just think about it, if we can if we can make some advances, we can win in a few places, particularly blue states. Like in New York or California. Governors, maybe some mayors races and so forth and so on. That’ll have a big, big effect. We got to fight at every at every level, folks. We got to push at every level on all fronts. Oh, we’re going to lose our country. We’ve got to challenge them on litigation. Challenge the the Islamists who are trying to build these segregated Islamist communities. That’s not how we roll in this country. The Marxists who are trying to destroy private property rights and steal your your hard earned income. We got a we got a challenge and we’ve got to fight that. And this war on the Jews by the Democrat Party. That’s right. I said it. The damn Democrat Party. This needs to be confronted.
