On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, France serves as a warning that civilization is not immortal. Western countries have ignored signs of social and cultural decline for decades. Nations that admit or tolerate people who hate their societies risk undermining their own survival. A civilization cannot survive if it continually weakens itself by welcoming people who oppose its values and interests. France’s unrest is partly the result of allowing in people hostile to the country; Britain faces a similar danger, and the United States could experience the same fate if it follows a similar path. Also, since Dearborn, Michigan will overwhelmingly support Abdul El-Sayed, it is critical for voters across the rest of Michigan to turn out, vote early or submit ballots, and encourage family, friends, and community members to do the same. This election will affect the future of the country and future generations. Republicans need to stay focused on winning elections and not be distracted by internal disputes. Democrats are tied to extremists, Marxists, and groups that threaten the country. Most Americans love their country, support the Constitution, oppose open borders, and reject policies that would weaken the nation’s system. Meanwhile, Democrats are fighting efforts to clean up voter rolls, even as the Justice Department identifies 20,000 ineligible voters who received ballots in California and the case lands before Judge David Carter, who has already shown open hostility to the DOJ. Attorney General Todd Blanche asks why no one in California wants to fix it. Finally, Katie Zacharia joins the show and describes traveling with President Trump on his midterm blitz through Alaska, Arizona, and Montana, with rallies as packed as 2024, and points to the Alaska LNG pipeline and new energy projects as real results. She points to Gavin Newsom’s record in California, from the train to nowhere to the nation’s worst literacy rate and highest energy prices, and warns that Democrats would turn the weaponized legal system on ordinary Americans. Holding the Senate is critical to confirming judges and justices who will defend the Constitution.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. Give me a break. All right, I’ll do it right. 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. In hour three, the power hour, we’re having Katie Zakaria I don’t believe she’s ever been on the program. Has she missed producer? I’m really not interested in getting into all that press secretary stuff. You know, before that she was a brilliant commentator. So I do some questions about various things that are going on and we’ll get her input. You may remember that when she was under attack, I said, Why don’t you leave her alone and get off her back? And I felt that from day one. Who is it to attack somebody like this mother of four, happily married? Somebody who jumped into the lurch really didn’t have that much time to prepare. Okay, great. And so but but the the attacks they couldn’t stomach. Now. Very interesting things going on and I want to get to them with you here. But first I came across a piece in The Spectator. By Douglas Murray, our friend Douglas Murray, who’s not doing a lot of media these days. He’s a good friend, but he’s got other projects going on and so he’s exclusive to those projects, whatever they are, but. He’s a great guy. And he’s talking about France. He says France is a warning. Our civilization is not immortal. Now, one of the reasons I like what he wrote here and I’m going to read it it’s not very long, is because we’ve been talking about this constantly. Could it happen here? He says. I suppose that’s the underlying thought many of us have as we watch France burn. And the immediate response is Why wouldn’t it? I’m old enough to remember in the early 2000s when people used to say France was a model of integration. Then in 2005, the suburbs went up in flames, followed by parts of the center of Paris and other major cities. The Citroen flambé became a national dish and suddenly talk of the French model of integration disappeared. That same year, eight homegrown terrorists of foreign origin attempted to blow up the London Transport Network. Four succeeded. And a little bit of that blasé British attitude that we know better than the French disappeared to. In 2011, our own city started burning, but we learned nothing from that. He’s talking about our cities here in America. However, I would like to linger on that early 2000 period for a moment because of something in a faraway country which happened during that time in 2000 for the British born Ken Bigley was abducted, held in captivity and decapitated on camera by Islamist extremists in Iraq. While he was in custody. Citizens of his native Liverpool how candlelight vigils. But al Qaeda weren’t listening. And cut poor. Excuse me. A couple of big leagues head off anyway. Back then, if you’d said two decades later a member of the same cell that murdered him, who then joined another, which performed mass executions, would be wandering around England. Doing his shopping at a co-op in Windsor. Even a devout doom monger like me might have taken a beat. Yet. This past week, we learned that one of the cell one in that cell, Mohamed Yasin, has been doing exactly this. Yasin is among the many thousands of people who’ve arrived in this country, Britain, illegally, by the kind of small boat that we’ve been told carries only aspiring doctors and engineers and children fleeing persecution. Now take a moment to consider this. What country, what civilization will be so mad that after one of its citizens is beheaded by a terrorist group, it welcomes in a member of that group and gives him British taxpayers money? When you pay your taxes again this year, Brits remember that some of your money has been going to the CAC and to many others like him. Look at any of the terrorist atrocities of recent years and you’ll see the same pattern. Britain, under Labour and Conservative governments, has consistently refused to do the obvious thing deport and close the borders. Instead, it has repeatedly laid in the people who’ve been the most visible, who have got to be called here, take in any terrorist group, and Britain has welcomed them in instead of repelling them. The Iranian regime official who wrote a book justifying the fatwa against Salman Rushdie living in Harrow, the former military chief of Hamas in the West Bank, living in Barnet, bodyguard of the terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh, granted asylum in the UK and wandering around planning attacks. Most of these cases have come to light only because a small number of journalists and an even smaller number of publications have had the gumption to look under the hood of our asylum and immigration system and ask questions. Yet the system is never held to any account. While it busily works out how to persecute members of the SARS and other members of armed forces, it has apparently spent little time stopping actual terrorists from roaming our country. Some people think this is pure incompetence. Others believe it is entirely planned. Both have their arguments. In recent days, more people have finally realized how completely compromised our institutions of this state actually are. I would normally say that Jonathan Powell, in prime minister’s national security adviser. It’s like anyone else entitled to a private life. But Powell is married to one of the most disgusting women in Britain, an activist called Sarah Helm. I had the misfortune of meeting her 20 or more years ago, and to say she’s a fanatic is to understate things. In recent days, more people have discovered just how vicious she is. Immediately after this nine excuse me, October seven massacre, it emerged she devoted her time to contextualizing Contextualizing the killing, and later questioned whether the mass rape Hamas carried out had actually happened. Leave this. These people. They’re in this country, too, called Democrats. Why do we think that we as a country can survive when all the following things happen all the time? We welcome in terrorists? Have the people in charge of our security literally sleeping with the enemy and then prosecute anyone British like Danny Tommo, who say that they have had enough of all this. Well, you’re seen walks around the Windsor Co-op. Tarmoh remains in custody for the so-called crime of slashing an inflatable dinghy belonging to an illegal smuggling gang, transporting people to break the law by entering Britain. Sick. The French tried so many causes, but among those burning France down are people the French allowed to come into their country. It isn’t that the French somehow failed to give them enough nice things or a racist. They simply invited in people who hated them. Good God, if this is in our country, I don’t know what the hell is. I’m quite serious. This is so grotesque. What makes the situation in Britain so different that it hasn’t happened here? Only that the match has not yet been struck. Of all the things that have been hardest to communicate in my life, this seems to be the most impossible. That is, that our civilization is not, by some law of nature, immortal. It has no right or likelihood to continue existing if it insists on committing. Harry Carey. The people who are welcomed on to our airwaves work in parts of our government and lead Some of our political parties include those who would burn down the country in a heartbeat. They will look us in the eyes and kill us. And we know that because they have done it elsewhere, they don’t do it at the moment because the time is not right. But when they feel it is, they will act. At which point I suppose people will have to describe excuse me, people will have to decide whether they wish to be spectators at their own funeral or not. Good Lord. Sir. Britain is next. If not already. And our country is next to. Ladies and gentlemen, our country. And we can prove it to you when we come back. Not that you need proof, Mr. or Mrs. America. You’re on to this, but I want to underscore it. We’ll be right back.

Segment 2
There’s a great debate last night. Sky Mike Rogers is superb and he’s up against this reprobate, Bale said, and insists he has nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood. He’s a liar. His family is steeped in it. And they’re steeped in care. And he is to all of it. That these are jihadi sort of, if you will, Islamists. What they are. And Kerry and the Muslim Brotherhood are going to do everything they can to get this guy elected. I’m warning you right now, Michigan, there are firewalls all throughout this election, and this is one of the biggest. So they had a debate last night. Mike Rogers Ah, now said cut five, go. And he’s still cheerleading the war that you are paying for a war we never should have fought in the first place. If you send this man to the U.S. Senate, do not be surprised. When we fight more wars, we accrue more national debt and he does not stand up before you for the price of your gas. For the price. It amazes me that the Marxists are always talking about the debt when they’re responsible for it more than anybody else. In the price of gasoline. I will ask you what I asked you last night and I will ask you again. Tell me which blue state is more affordable than any red state? Just name one. Is it New York? Is it New Jersey? Is it California? Is it Illinois? What is it? Which blue state is affordable? None of them. Whether it’s the tax environment, the regulatory environment, the price of housing, the price of food, and could go on and on and on. Certainly the price of energy. Blue states have the highest top at nine out of ten sales taxes on a gallon of gasoline. Ten out of ten, they’re the highest electricity costs. That’s not because of the market. That’s because of the use of climate change or what these states have done to themselves, to you, the people in these states. And, of course, you know what? Because millions and millions of people are voting with their feet, it’s called mobility. They’re leaving these blue states. They don’t really want to leave. They have ties to these towns and these states. But it’s unbearable, particularly if you’re retired or particularly if you’re young, trying to start out to be carrying burdens like this. And so the evidence is not only everywhere. It’s indisputable that blue states and blue cities are unaffordable. Go ahead. He’s bought off by the same weapons manufacturers. A pack we just heard. He’s going to put, what, 9 million into his campaign in the next two weeks alone. Well, that’s what you get when you have an eight time politician. Thank you. No, no, no. Only only teachers union should be able to put money into campaigns. Only Democrat billionaires and Soros should be able to put money in the Democrat campaigns. Then the AIPAC crap again Jews. And so they always show their angle or more. But AIPAC has decided it’s not going to do this anymore. And that’s really unfortunate. It shouldn’t be intimidating to that. You’re not going to find any organization, Arab organization, Muslim organization, radical left wing organization that’s going to say, you know what? We’re not going to be involved in political action committees anymore. We’re not donating anymore. Of course, they’re going to keep doing it. All right. Mike Rogers responded. Go ahead. Rogers Second rebuttal, 30 seconds. So being bought off by the Muslim Brotherhood, having donors to his campaign from Hamas that support Hezbollah is not a problem. If you are going to go to the United States Senate, we need to know are you for America or are you for these terrorist groups overseas? You can grin and you can smile and you can talk real pretty. But I’m going to tell you what, that is a risk to our national security. Matter of fact, The New York Times gave him an option to condemn his comments. Thank you, Kelly Rogers. We’re going to have more AC and can get other. And he said no. So much for your answer. She’s annoying. But anyway, that was a fantastic rebuttal. You see? You don’t have to. Choke on what somebody else accuses you of, particularly if you have the goods on them. You have to play defense. You go on offense. Cat six. Go. He keeps raising this question about this association with the organization I’ve never been a part of because my mom, who’s a nurse in Missouri. It doesn’t make any sense. And it’s actually not because your mom was a nurse. Some. Is this guy such a putz? Your sister, your mom, your father. There’s a parent. And you. This organization he won’t mention is the Muslim Brotherhood. He won’t even mention it in his response. Why? Because he believes in it. This guy was with Hassan Puga two weeks ago. They were celebrating his primary victory. Hassan Puga is all in with the Muslim Brotherhood and all the way through to who does this guy think he’s kidding, lying, lying, lying in. That’s the game plan. Tequila. Tequila. Lie. Do whatever you have to do. To defeat your enemy. That’s what Turquia means. Go ahead. You may think it’s really quite beneath you. It’s not to call into question my loyalty to the Constitution. I’m talking. I’m talking. All right, I’m talking. Well, own up to it. Excuse me. Yeah, go ahead. Can I have a few more seconds? Yes, go ahead. Thank you. Really? To bring into question my commitment to the Constitution is really beneath you. I am proud of America. All right. Let me we’re going to continue this after the break at the bottom. And that’s coming up. But don’t challenge his commitment to the Constitution. I challenge all other commitment to the Constitution. All Democrats when they want to dismantle it. What do they mean, their commitment to the Constitution? This guy, he’s a Sharia law guy. He said in one of those moments that was caught on tape that he adheres to Sharia law. Well, great. Then you can adhere to the constitution, can you? I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
All right. So what’s happened? Start at the top of this again with L.Z. and and Rogers. Go ahead. Six. He keeps raising this question about this association with the organization. I’ve never been a part of the beat because my mom, who’s a nurse in Missouri. It doesn’t make any sense. And it’s actually really quite beneath Mike. It’s really quite beneath him. It’s not to call into question my loyalty to the Constitution. I’m talking, I’m talking, All right, I’m talking. Well, I’m up to it. Excuse me. Yeah, go ahead. Can I have a few more seconds? Yes, go ahead. Thank you. Yeah. I can’t wait to bring in a question. My commitment to the Constitution is really beneath you. I am proud of America. I’m proud to be an American. I’m proud of our Constitution that guarantees all of us the right to pray as we choose to pray. Yeah, we can tell. We can tell how proud you are trashing it left and right, the right to you for you to pray. That’s what you care about. The Constitution. What exactly are you praying and what exactly is Islamism and jihadism all about? Why don’t you tell us? Yes. Because you believe that the First Amendment, the right to pray, freedom of religion somehow confers upon you the right to try and destroy our country. Those are two different things, aren’t they, America? If they were just praying, If he was just praying, who would care? But we happen to know that there is a mosque in Detroit thanks to a great intrepid reporter. Which about 3 to 4 dozen times has urged the violent overthrow of the United States and the killing of Americans. Is that also protected by religious freedom? No, Somehow I don’t think it is. Go ahead. In that you would ask that. I think it’s actually really quite shameful as somebody who’s actually served under that constitution. It is Shame. Shame. And Rogers, you now have 30 seconds for a rebuttal. 30 seconds. You know, wear the uniform of the United States proudly, as my son did, my wife’s serve, my brother served, my father served. So you could pray any way you want. And I know you want to make this about you being a victim. This is about an ideology, an ideology that’s banned in five Muslim countries, an ideology that’s banned in another six different countries. That’s an ideology that is very concerning to law enforcement in the United States because they use it for funding overseas operations. Congressman, that’s the difference. Your time. That is brilliant and accurate. That is brilliant, inaccurate, and I’m sick and tired of these Marxist Islamists and just. White bread Marxists. Who hate the Constitution and then wave it around, you know, to defend themselves. How dare you question my loyalty to the country? Yeah, right. Of course you’re disloyal to the country and you’re not the only one. Bernie Sanders is disloyal to the country. AOC does. They hate the country. They hate it, too. I wrote the book The Democrat Party Hates America. For those of you who read it, you know what I’m talking about. They hate it. What do you think? They want to destroy the Supreme Court. They hate it. Why do you think they want to vote? To destroy voting systems? They hate it. Why do you think they bring illegal immigrants in here by the tens of millions to replace our citizenry? Because they hate the country. They hate you and me. That’s right. They want power, power, power. And more power. One party rule. Talked about it. Now, what, four decades? Here’s Mike Rogers. Cut seven. Go. You know, we cannot afford Abdul al-Assad’s policies and we cannot risk his ideology. If you think about what’s at stake in this election, it really isn’t about left versus right anymore. It really is about the heart and soul of the country and who we are as Americans and the future we want for our children. There is a reason that group after group is coming to our campaign. Democrats are openly supporting Rogers for Senate Jewish Democrats who are afraid for their children when their daughters can’t wear their star of David walking across Michigan’s campus. These are real. My opponent’s rhetoric, his vitriol is having consequences. We need to stand up now to make sure we are going in that right direction for this country. Now, keep in mind, in Michigan, where Dearborn is staying, as Dearborn is stand my vote, like 98%. For outside. So it’s very important that other communities, other individuals throughout the state of Michigan turn out and vote. Are you going to lose? And you’re going to have this guy as your senator and you’re going to be absolutely disgusted. Just don’t be disgusted with yourself. Do your patriotic duty. And you know, that’s the minimum to vote as soon as you can. Early voting. I don’t know where there’s are early voting yet. Some of the states, maybe Michigan. Well, you should be the first to get out and there vote or send in your ballots. And then you go to work on family members and friends and social meet social friends and whatever. Don’t be afraid to talk to people at church or synagogue or wherever. This is our country. This is your future. In the future, your children and grandchildren at stake here. This guy is a fraud. So phony because he plays the victim card. But look what’s going on all over the world in the name of Islam. Look at it. Look at it from Africa to Europe to the Middle East and Israel to our own communities. Look at it’s only one religion, one. Now, it’s true when people say, look, you know, most Muslims aren’t terrorists. And so I hope not. There’s 2 billion Muslims, but there doesn’t have to be most Muslims. The problem is an awful lot of imams are the problem is an awful lot of their scholars and professors are. The problem is a lot of their leaders are. And so if you’re talking about 1% of 2 billion, you know what that is, Mr. Producer? 20 million. You can’t say that about Christianity. A Judaism. Or Buddhism or Hinduism or any other ism. There’s only one. Only one. Where the Islamists are slaughtering these Christians by the hundreds of thousands. And nobody talks about I’ve been talking about this for years to where is everybody so horrendous? And the slaughtering of Muslims in Yemen. By the Islamists who are who are trying to destroy them because they won’t capitulate. And I, we can go on and on. About what’s taking place in the world today. The two biggest ideologies behind the biggest mass murder today are the communists and the Islamists. But whatever you do, don’t question Al Saeed’s loyalty to the Constitution. He’s demonstrated it over and over again as if he. Like he wants to abolish the Second Amendment. We talked about that last night. The whole damn party that he’s part of. Big tent, you know, Big tent. So, Karine Jean-Pierre. Remember the liar for Biden? She’s on message now today about L.Z.. And here you’re going to listen to what the problem is and why Europe is falling while other countries are falling and why our country will fall if we allow the Democrats to win this election. I am not kidding. I am not kidding. If you don’t vote for the Republican and I’m not a Republican cheerleader, as you well know, but I am today, today for this election, this special midterm election. They’re going to win, which means we lose and we lose forever. Correct. Go. El-Sayed was able to win the primary with progressive and young people. He’s still under water with some of the groups, especially black voters. And so this is a competitive race for sure. But what’s happening is it’s like they they meaning the Republicans, do not want to talk about policy. I appreciate what’s being said, but they don’t want to talk about what the Republicans are talking about policy endlessly. Over and over and over and over again. So that’s a lie. But anyway, go ahead, Bear. We’ve been saying this for almost ten years now. It’s fear, fear, fear. We’re going to make you afraid about what could happen to this country because we may have the first Muslim senator. No, no, no, we’re not. It’s not because of the first Muslim senator, because the first jihadi Islamist senator. Look how they paper this over and look how dumb they think you are. And if she has her way and the Democrats have their way come this election, it’s really just a few days away. The country is going to suffer irreparably. We’re not going to be able to reverse course. We’re just not. Maybe a little bit here or there. I know, I know. It’s painful to hear this stuff, but it is. I’m not a Pollyanna. Your typical broadcaster, whether they’re podcaster on talk radio, on TV or what they can and can’t say they can do this, and they’ll say that even after a major loss. What I am telling you is we cannot afford a major loss right now. It’s almost as if. God, may I say, it’s as if God is saying, America, look at Europe, look at France, look at the UK, Look at those other countries over there in Western Europe. Eastern Europe’s been hanging in very tough. But look, look at it, America. Look what Israel has gone through and still going through America. Look what’s going on in Africa. America. What are you going to do about this? You’re going to do the same thing as. As Macron in France. Excuse me. Carney in Canada. What a disaster that is. Well, if you listen to a. In. Jean-Pierre. We will. We’ve got people in this country first, second generation immigrants. I have no real attachment to the country. You heard Rogers say, I served in the military. My wife served in the military. My son served in the military. My father served in the military. I was an FBI agent. So he’s got an attachment to this country. Outside has no attachment to his country. His family has no attachment to this country. None Saxmundham. He has no attachment to this country. He’s recently a Ugandan. There’s no attachment to this country. And you go down the list. And so they lecture you and me. Just look at what your forefathers have built in this country. And it’s under attack. By these recent. Unvetted. Immigrants from certain parts of the world. From certain parts of the world. As well as those have been brainwashed by our faculties at colleges and universities, many of whom have also secreted themselves into our country. That’s what’s going on. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
You know, folks, I believe the enemies of this country aren’t just outside our borders. They’re already inside the gates we were just talking about one moments ago. So there’s actually more of us than them, but they seem to be at all times hyped up. They are hyped up, they are motivated, and too often we’re not. We are as a group, which is not. There are far more Christians in this country than there are Muslims. Yet Christians vote a little above 50% and the Muslims out of these. These masks. They’re voting in the 90, 95, 98%. That’s a prescription for disaster. A prescription for disaster. I just don’t know why. We put up with this stuff? I don’t know. Ilhan Omar is still out there. She sounds like a buffoon altogether, Mr. Producer. And she was questioned on me now, which is, you know, they changed their name. They didn’t change anything about them. Chris Hayes, who is a moron, he’s the guy with those weird glasses he shows. She’s on his show. Listen to this. Cut one. Go. Who was this man? That was your husband? When did they start saying that he was your brother? Why? You see, if he were a real serious person, he’d say. This man you were married to, was he your brother or not? Yes or no? Yes or no? That said yes or no. We’ll get it over with. Now it’s who keeps saying that he is. What a schmo. Go ahead. Blog. Start with a Somali blog existence. But somebody put in there that you know, that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect and. Hello? Yes or no? Yes or no? Hello? Mr. Producer, did you marry your sister? No. Then I marry my sister. And only when I have a sister. No. Okay. See how simple that is, America? It started on a Somali block. A go ahead. And conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it, and they just kind of went and, like, found random people who are like, she introduced us. You know, she introduced him to us and said she shouldn’t get rich. Not yet. Go ahead, sir. Which is, you know, it’s insane. I mean, I don’t I don’t know those people that they talk about. She was You were not related to him at all. Not that there’s some weird kernel of truth. That was some game. Not to my knowledge. Not to her knowledge. Even this idiot, Chris Hayes. But you’re not related to him at all, Right, So there’s not some little kernel of truth? Not to my knowledge. May I ask you a question, America? Did you marry your brother or your sister? Would your answer should be not to my knowledge. Not to my knowledge. Okay. We have. What? How much time do I have? Let’s go to cut to go. I was like, Well, that seems like a big difference between $30 million and $20,000. There is a congressional oversight body that voted that there was no wrongdoing, no evidence of wrongdoing. What is your financial situation? I mean, it’s, you know, working, working class, I guess, like paycheck to paycheck still. You know, we’ve got four kids. That’s not the question. The question is, well, why did you put $30 million on your paper in your ethics report? And then amend it to $20,000. Doesn’t that seem a little strange, America? Huh? Now, he says Congress already investigated and there’s no big deal. I don’t know if that’s true or not. Why does that matter? Congress doesn’t have the final say on anything. They don’t have the kind of powers that a grand jury does and on and on, in this case, a lawyer. Maybe a slip and fall lawyer. I don’t know. Go ahead. And, you know, we we live, I think, like a basic life. I have a Toyota Camry that’s from 2016 only car I rent my DC place and my Minneapolis place. And so and I mean, I don’t know that’s that sounds like you know, not majority of Congress but there are some of us that are that don’t come from wealth and don’t have wealth. Is that a big divide in Congress? Okay, who cares? The point is, you put down $30 million and of course people get what their hell. And I seem to recall they had a winery or something and all this other stuff going on and now it’s going to be examined. Now, I understand a judge issued a subpoena. That allowed the feds a warrant. Actually, that allowed the feds to go into her home and gather stuff. Now, I don’t know why all these right wing judges in Washington, D.C., Quite the contrary. So there is that. Uh huh. We’ll be right back.
