On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, there are a growing number of young people who do have hatred for Israel in colleges and universities, yet Megyn Kelly says “everyone under 30 is against Israel.” That’s an absurd, disgusting statement. Antisemitism is prevalent among Generation Z, fueled by influencers like Tucker Carlson who perpetuate tropes about Jewish control over politics and media. Also, President Trump’s second term has been marked by a persistent campaign of domestic terrorism from the left, driven by inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats and progressives. There’s been Molotov cocktail attacks on Tesla dealerships amid, riots and ambushes targeting ICE facilities, and an armed intrusion at a Border Patrol annex in McAllen, Texas, just to name a few. Later, as some former federal prosecutors label the case against James Comey as weak, the real issue is the Biden-appointed judge in Alexandria’s Eastern District of Virginia, where juries have shifted toward more Democratic and bureaucratic leanings over time. Afterward, the Trump administration has appealed to the Supreme Court to review the constitutionality of an executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship, which is a mistaken interpretation of the 14th Amendment with no basis in the Constitution or statutes. Finally, Trump has a fantastic tough stance against Democrats threatening a government shutdown over demands for $1.5 trillion in new spending, including funds for illegal immigrants’ healthcare.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Oh, yes. Several great speeches at the United Nations, none of them by an Arab country won by a great president of Indonesia. The largest Muslim country was outstanding. None of them were good from Europe, quite frankly, except Hungary. Great speech by the president of Argentina. You know, here in there. Here in there. I’m of the belief, as I’ve told you before, that the U.N. needs to go. It just needs to go. Netanyahu gave it get up to give a speech and two thirds of the place empty. They got they went there for the purpose of creating a show of leaving. Now, what he said will reverberate. They’ll want to know what he said. And for every genocidal murder who runs some country? None. Elected, of course. They sat still and they listen to every word. Everywhere. Palestinians as an example. But not here. You know, I don’t have any personal animus towards Megan Kelly. I do think she’s kind of screwing up. That’s just me personally. If I were advising her. I don’t know her that well. I think she’s hanging out with the wrong crowd, but she’s free to hang out with whatever crowd she wants. But the idea that some of us don’t notice it, it’s kind of kind of weird. And I don’t really pay attention to a lot of this stuff. But enough. But I do believe in accuracy. Accuracy. And so I’m going to show exactly what I’m talking about. Here she was with Tucker Carlson last week. I went to listen to exactly what she said and then what she said. I guess it was yesterday. People sent me this stuff, honestly. I don’t listen to her show. It’s nothing personal. I just got things to do. So this is from last week. But one go to turn around and call Charlie Kirk. An anti-Semite is a disgusting smear. Then you’re right. He’s the guy who called him an anti-Semitism is something. Mr.. I’m just curious. Who called Charlie an anti-Semite. Obviously, that’s B.S.. I don’t know of any Mary one anti-Semite. So that’s number one. Go ahead. I was young and wasn’t used to being attacked like that by people who supported him and people whose donations are actually really important to the ongoing existence of his organization. People are required to keep giving donations if they have a disagreement with somebody. I ran a legal foundation for decades. Some people donated, some people can disagree with us and they stopped donating. I’m sure you’ve dealt with that, too. So what? So what? Go ahead. I took a lot for him to say no to them, and it took a lot for him to be honest about the fact that his opinions had evolved. And one of the things that bothers me here is people speaking for Charlie, who’s obviously deceased. People who pretend they know every aspect of this guy in his life. They don’t. I knew him better than Megan did. No offense, and so do many, many others. So to many, many others, people are free to move their investments around their donations, around their charities, around. So what is that indicative of if they disagree with him on something? So what? Go ahead. Like an unofficial spokesperson for the youth of America, in particular, conservative youth. And I don’t know. Let let let’s stop a second. Charlie had a large voice and following. Huge. He was never a prophet. He will tell you he’s never a prophet. That’s blasphemous. He’s not an unofficial spokesman for the youth of America. He ran an organization that became huge, and he speaks for many people who support his perspective. That’s all good. That’s important. That’s that’s an enormous accomplishment because most people don’t don’t get their. But I don’t know. An unofficial spokesman for the youth of America. Am I an unofficial spokesman for for the middle aged men of America? I mean, can we be mature about these discussions? Charlie Kirk was a fantastic human being. A wonderful human being. Who had an enormous influence. Who had an enormous impact. Isn’t that great? I think it’s great. But don’t create these. These these sides, these these battles. Here we have these Jews who decided not to donate. Just say if Megan decided not to donate because they disagree with him, because he changed his opinion and he was an unofficial spokesman for the for the young people in America. And this is why I find you to be getting really more and more preposterous. You sound like the people you hang out with, and that’s okay if that’s what you want to do. It’s okay. But doesn’t mean I had to pretend otherwise. Go ahead. He no longer support Israel, and everybody under 30 is against Israel. Try right there. Everyone under 30 is against Israel. That’s the clip that was put out, I guess, by Qatar, Olsson or somebody. That’s the clip. Everyone under 30 is against Israel. Everyone. I said, How stupid and disgusting is that piece? Everyone under 30 is against Israel. I could get thousands of people to call this program now who are under 30, who are not against Israel. But even more to the point, we’ve got this little cabal that just keeps beating up Israel, beating up Netanyahu, beating up their policies and just going on and on and on. And then they look at this. Everybody’s against Israel. Of course, they’re pushing this and pushing this. And then when you call them out now I’m for Israel. I’m just against what they’re doing in Gaza. I’m just against Netanyahu. I’m just whatever. I’m on to this B.S.. Now, I’ve played enough of the context here. I’m going to play her whole show. But she did say everyone under 30 is against Israel. And if she not Mr.. So now apparently this is yesterday and this offended her. Offended her enormously. Boy, I hope she never has to sit in my chair stain on my shoes. I get a lot more. A lot more hits than that. That’s mild. It’s not even a hit of fact that I pointed out that that’s B.S.. When you make a statement like that, it’s an absurdity. Everyone under 30 is against Israel. Now we know a lot of people under 30 are against Israel. In fact, I’m going to go to another piece in which they make the point that Carlson is purposely pushing his many young people as he can against Israel. I don’t disagree with that and that and it has an effect. I don’t disagree with that. And it has an alarming effect. I don’t disagree with that. That’s not what she said. Everybody under 30 is against Israel. Now on its face that stupid. But let’s go. Got to go. This is yesterday. I get to Abe Greenwald, Mark Levin, to whom I’ve always been very nice, very kind. And I have had no problem with Mark Levin. I see him arguing with everybody online. It’s not my fight not to argue with everybody online, just the cabal and just leftist. There she goes again. I argue with everybody online, everybody under 30. Now, I believe she’s a lawyer. Now she spends most most of her life in broadcasting and entertainment. Got it. Everybody is fighting with Mark Levin. Everybody under 30. Everybody is against Israel. Now, how dumb are these comments? Seriously, Megan, I’m trying to help you. Don’t take it so personally. I’m trying to help you. Go ahead. That segment, a piece of it where I said everybody under 30 is against Israel with Tucker and says such disgusting book, Sick and getting sicker, they continue to reveal themselves. Hmm. What is he talking about? It’s disgusting. There was an article in the New York Post just the other day. More than 60% of American Gen Z supports Hamas over Israel. Whoa, whoa, whoa. More than 60% supports Hamas. So everyone’s against Israel under 30. I mean, seriously, Mr. Miller, is this, like, bizarre? So that means 40% aren’t. No, it’s everyone. Don’t you get it? Everyone. Go ahead. I just released a poll. I mean, days ago. Only about one in ten adults under the age of 35 say they approve of Israel’s military choices in Gaza. One in ten adults under age 35. What I said was exactly right and what you said was exactly wrong. This is one poll. I don’t know how this was described. But you’re even wrong about this. Now, if you had cited these polls and said, look at this, there’s a problem, 60% here, one in six. Fine. Who cares? I would never said a word. That’s not what you said, is it? Now you’re scrapping together. Hey, Steph, let’s pull all the poles together as many as we can here. And let’s use those polls and let’s prove I’m right that the the Israelis are underwater with everyone under 30. Under 30. But that’s not what you did. The week before. He had done that the week before. He would have been right about what you said. But you didn’t say that. Did you, Megan? Go ahead. There is no cause for Mark Levin to be attacking me or Tucker or that discussion. He’s not attacked. There’s no cause for me to attack Tucker. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Your special pleader for Tucker. That’s my point to. There’s no cause for me to attack Tucker. I expose Tucker, but I’m sorry if I offended. You guys can attack Jews and donors, everybody under 30. And so. But I’m not attacking Israel. You all understand? I’m not attacking you. We all here, We all see. It’s okay. Go ahead. People have been asking me to name names like who’s attacking you? Because I say like, but you get attacked if I’m going to name some names here. Mark Colvin is one of them. Shame. Oh, no, no, no, no, please. Please. She used my name. Mr. Edition. So painful. She used to love me, you know? She used to love me. Very upsetting. Go ahead. He said It is highly felt. You get no credit for being an open supporter of Israel. How many times all of our citizens under a Charlie sweetie has nothing It has to do with you. Okay? Stop throwing around Charlie’s name. Stop projecting onto Charlie. Just like Charlie. No talking about you. You. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
All right. I want to get to an article and then we’ll close the circle on this and see here. All right. Stick with me, folks. Stick with me. We’re live in the National here. The New York Post. There it is. I have an excellent writer, David Harsanyi. He says. On Wednesday night, a turning point U.S. event at Virginia Tech honoring the late Charlie Kirk. Took an ugly turn and. A male student stood up to ask popular podcaster Megan Kelly if she was concerned about the growing unseemly influence of rich billionaire Jews. On American politics. Did you say rich billionaire Jews? And incredulous, Kelly responded, Yes, the questioner said. And if this was a completely normal topic to bring up. It’s just one more example of the abnormal fixation younger Americans have on Israel and Jews. You see, here’s here’s my point. It’s not that everyone under 30 is hostile to Israel. That misses the point. The point is, there’s a growing number of young people who have an enormous hatred for Israel. We have talked about this in our colleges and universities. So the way you take a discussion like that, if you’re serious about it, is why is this? And their response, the Cabal is because of Israel. Because of the way Israel’s waging war. Because of Israel. This. And now. That’s not why. That’s not why at all. The young man seemed to be allied with the progressive left, which has long flirted with this kind of rhetoric. But similar comments are increasingly spreading on the right as well. Even in the glare of the public spotlight just the other day, disgraced former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has developed a creepy, maniacal obsession with Jews, urged Kirk’s otherwise inspiring memorial in Arizona to suggest that or used it. A bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus in Jerusalem had something to do with silencing the late leader. TP USA leader. The statement seemed tailor made to create division between Jews and Christians. And there are people who are trying to do that right now. Yet no one who participated in Kirk’s funeral tribute condemned our modern day Charles Coughlin. Poplar Harrelson would be heading Future Events for TPI USA. I want to pick up where I left off. So what you would normally do? For instance. Is to say, wait a minute, why is this happening? Not with all Americans, but this particular group? Why is it. Because it’s intentional. That’s why. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
David Hart signees piece in the New York Post, he noted. He noted when Carlson did what he did and said what he said said at this solemn event. Honoring. You know Charlie Kirk. Whereas enormous presence and the wonderful things that he did. He said. No one who participated in Kirk’s funeral tribute condemned our modern day Charles Coughlin. The popular Carlson will be heading future events for Tpac. This is why I posted. I hope turning point doesn’t get sucked into this. I really do. I really do. It’s one thing to to have had him as a participant from time to time. It’s quite another. To move the organization in this direction. I think I think, you know, as time goes on, I think it’ll be viewed as a huge mistake. It is. And was it you, Mr. Producer? You can open your mike. Who told me that? Our friend Megan Kelly’s going on some kind of tour with Katarzyna. In White Plains. Is that a tour or one night event? You don’t know. It’s not a towards a one night event. I don’t have a problem with that. People can have an event with whomever they want. The fact that some people take notice shouldn’t be attacked either. The facts really dissuade conspiracy theorists, he writes. It’s objectively false to contend the Jewish people have an outside influence on the Trump administration. Here’s the list of President Trump’s top 12 donors in 2024, according to Forbes. Timothy Mellon, Linda McMahon. Diane Hendricks. Miriam Adelson. Kelcy Warren. Timothy Dunn. Richard Yuan. Jeff Stryker. Kelly Loeffler. Phil Ruffin. Jimmy John. I don’t know. Antonio. Gracious. And Douglas Leon. Only one of those billionaires is Jewish. There were there were, as far as I can tell, four other Jewish donors in the top 25. You may have noticed the paranoid Israel haters on the right or fixated on billionaires like Larry Ellison and Bill Ackman, a long time Democrat who defected to the GOP in part because of the left’s embrace of Hamas apologists. Not Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy or Peter Thiel or many others. Carlson For instance, blame Fox News personality, I guess, at me and radio host Mark Levin for convincing Trump to bomb Iranian nuclear sites. Indeed, the podcaster assured his credulous audience that Levin was leading the United States in the World War Three at the behest of foreigners. We expect this kind of aspersion from the progressive left, not alleged conservatives. One can say many things about Donald Trump, but the notion that his positions can be bought by campaign funds stretches credulity. Besides, no one needs to buy Trump’s support for Israel. Consider he’s been on the record vocal champion of the Jewish state for nearly 40 years. When Trump this week met on the sidelines, the UN General Assembly will French President Macron, who had just rewarded Hamas with unilateral recognition but imaginary Palestinian state. He made his position known. Quote Well, I have to say that I’m on the side of Israel, Trump said. I’ve been on the side of Israel really my whole life. It’s difficult to argue that any president has been a better friend. Trump is offering pro-Israel statements. Years before he was in political office, years before he had any donors, years before Benjamin Netanyahu, the boogeyman of Jew baiters, was Israel’s prime minister. It is also objectively false that American Jews are an ideological monolith, he said. I’ve spent 20 years publicly disagreeing with numerous Jewish-American organizations and individuals and anybody who listens to this show, I sure as hell knows I have to, by the way. And he said, I can assure you, we don’t have secret meetings to plot control of the world. Says I never met a Jewish billionaire. Jews, though, are the only ethnic group that is collectively smeared as fifth columnists for advocating for causes they believe in. One of the popular issues among many American Jews who champion the longstanding US alliance with Israel a holy, moral, constructive, defensible position. The many individuals and groups openly advocate and by the way, they’re not all Jewish. The institution that it’s nefarious are the insinuation, rather that it’s nefarious. To do so is only peddled by bigots unwilling or unable to debate the issue in good faith. It’s clear that the stigma associated with spreading ugly tropes about Jews is disappearing. It’s been that way in the conspiratorial swamp of social media and podcasting for a while. Now it’s being normalized in the real world. See, that’s the problem, Megan, And that’s the problem with the guys you’re hanging out with, especially Qatar’s. And pardon me if I notice, you know everyone under 30. Does not reject Israel to many do. And part of that’s due to, as Harsanyi points out here, people like guitars and others. Who pushed this agenda. That’s right. And I suspect if tpi USA. Is. Sort of exploited by the Qatar, Olsens and others and continue to be pushed in this direction. There are going to be a lot more donors who walk away. So it’s very important that the organization stick by its mission, stick by Charlie’s views. You know, stick with the pro-American agenda, the faith agenda. And it will be very successful, I believe, because his. His wife, Erica, is obviously a fantastic young lady who I’ve met several times, don’t know her well, but met her several times. Charlie, I knew well and. You know, it’s sort of this Candace Owens stuff. And Nick foment this stuff. I don’t see a whole big deal difference between them and Qatar’s. So if you’re going to hang around with him and platform with him and defend him. Then, you know, you make your bed. That’s the way it goes. Some people notice, like me, that everybody likes fighting with everybody. Actually, I’m not. No, no, you don’t understand. Everybody who matters to her. Oh, I’m sorry. The left is waging a sustained domestic terror campaign against the Trump presidency. And Rich Lowry is 100% correct. And he says Donald Trump’s second term has been met with a sustained, low level campaign of domestic terrorism. 100% correct. It’s mostly involved relatively minor property damage in much more consequential acts. But the pattern of violence meant to achieve anti-Trump political goals has been unmistakable. He said. I thought Trump’s second election would be met with rioting in the streets and serious threats against Cabinet officials. Instead, we got the Vive shift with the initial political reaction against Trump relatively muted compared to the 2016 period. Once the administration got underway, though, the violent resistance began. First, it was the campaign against Tesla. It’s Elon Musk. Agitators torched in otherwise vandalized vehicles, fired shots, threw Molotov cocktails at dealership and damage charging stations. This wasn’t terrorism, and the level of ice is not even close, but it clearly met the textbook definition of terrorism as violence in furtherance of a political or social objective. Then the anti ice assaults ramped up. There have been riots outside this facade again today, by the way, as well as incendiary attacks and shootings. The craziest incidents prior to September 24th sniper attack in Dallas, a group of agitators dressed in black military style clothing began shooting fireworks, spraying graffiti at an ice detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, in July. According to officials, this was a ploy meant to dry ice officers out of the facility to ambush them. One attacker hiding in the words shadowy, responding police officer in their neck. He survived, thank God, while another assailant fired 20 or more rounds at correctional officers who had strayed outside the building when they were arrested. Some of the agitators were wearing body armor and two way radios. The attack emanated from a Dallas area antifascist network. Still funny. These fascists call themselves anti-fascist. Less than a week later, an armed man tried to shoot his way into a Border Patrol annex in McAllen, Texas, before getting shot dead. The waves of anti Tesla anti-Asian violence were precipitated respectively by a libertarian billionaire trying to reduce the number of federal workers and cut foreign aid and a federal agency detaining immigrants who are living and working in the country illegally, some who have committed other serious crimes. These activities can evoke a violent response. Just imagine if the country experiences a true crisis. In both cases regarding Doege the height of the eight and eight, now Democratic officeholders and progressive opinion makers whipped up an apocalyptic frenzy. The fevered rhetoric has been accompanied by peaceful protests, civil disobedience. And at the margin, zealots and the disaffected lashing out violently. When these events are put against the conscience. Next to the assassination of a MAGA leader like Charlie Kirk and last year’s two assassination attempts against President Trump. The picture is stark. A persistent of wholly unorganized effort to use violence to frustrate Trump’s policy goals and in the extreme instance, to end the project entirely by killing him. Killing him. But what is to be done since none of the violence is directed from above and the perpetrators don’t know each other and have divergent motivations. It’s hard to see how it stops. Certainly help of the Democrats acknowledge the legitimacy of Trump and what he’s trying to do, even if they strenuously oppose him and his policies. But they’re never going to cease believing that we are on the cusp of a fascist dystopia. The legacy media should also acknowledge what we’re experiencing now. They’re involved in it. If a Kamala Harris presidency had been met with attacks against Mark Cuban businesses and arson and shootings at abortion clinics, as well as ideologically motivated murder of a Top Harris supporter, we’d be at DEFCON two type national emergency in terms of the press coverage. There’s nothing like getting used to things, Abraham Lincoln said of the threatening letters he received once he rose to prominence. We shouldn’t have to get used to violence as a means of influencing our policies. And Richard’s right on. He’s right on. Oh, yeah. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
By the way, two great Life, Liberty and Levin programs this weekend. Tomorrow night, 8 p.m. Eastern, set your DVR. We have Brandon Tatum, who I love. This guy was an Arizona police officer. He’s got a podcast, was on sale on for a good period of time. Brandon Tatum and our buddy Douglas Murray, one of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met and met him in person I don’t think I’ve ever talked to. So you want to check that out. And of course, my opening and my opening is going to be all about free speech, the First Amendment. This guy Kimmel. I don’t think this has been addressed properly and I. I want to address it. And I think you’re going to be very intrigued by what I have to say. And then Sunday night, same time, same place, 8 p.m. Eastern. We have Colonel Richard Kemp. He was the commander of British forces in Afghanistan. Things he has to say about Starmer and Britain and what they’re doing. And Richard Goldberg is just superb. He’s served in both President Trump’s administrations for short periods as he has another job that he keeps and is superb on national security. So those are two. Shows with the great guests and you’re going to hear great monologues. That’s Brandon Tatum, Douglas Murray. Tomorrow night. And Colonel Kemp and Richard Goldberg. Sunday night, again, what I’ll be discussing Sunday night is coming in a wave. A lot of these former federal prosecutors are up there and I guess they all read each other, talked to each other this week. Case problem we have in this case is not the case. The problem we have in this case is the judge. Somehow. A Biden judge got the case, Mr. Produce. A Biden judge got the case in Alexandria. I’ve been in that courtroom many times, the Eastern District of Virginia. Um, and also the juries have changed over the decades since I’ve been here. I’m not even here as much as I used to be as I residences in the great free state of Florida. But that said. It’s much more Democrat and bureaucrat than than it was when I was first here. I think I moved here in 2000 to. Holy mackerel, whatever that is. But you get the point. But it’s better than DC. In terms of the political ideology. So. It’s not so much the the case is weak. It’s that you can have a tough judge here. Of course, all the weak cases against Trump. Maybe there are other cases where, you know, the media never said stuff like that. What are you bringing in? You know, the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act? I mean, come on. And of course, the judge in Florida, great Judge Cannon, he blew out the whole case there. How many of the same federal former federal prosecutor that said that’s a slam dunk case, Trump’s going to stand there. TRUMP Then I said, no, that’s not exactly right. And we unraveled it. And also the legal foundation that I worked for for decades, Landmark Legal Foundation. I was president and chairman and now I’m emeritus. You know, an emeritus means Mr. Beat is here. You put my name on the you know, the stationery. It’s run by a great president. There he touches. And they filed a friend of court, an amicus brief with one of the greatest experts on the issue of presidential appointments. He’s a law professor. And my former boss, the attorney general of the United States, the great Ed Meese, and another attorney General Mukasey, great man. They filed their own brief and they were represented by two of my former colleagues from the United States Department of Justice. And then, of course, the president’s lawyers did a great job, too. She threw it out. The whole case. Violation of the appointments clause, which is why we argue and exactly what it was. Adhere it. I can’t. I don’t have false statement. You know, McCabe said what he said after the fact. He said that they Komi knew that he was leaking, but only authorized it after the fact. We can’t believe McCabe. We have an inspector general report from from 2018 that says he’s not believable. Well, we have an inspector general report from 2019 that I read and I talk about this, and I will on Sunday. That talks about all Comey’s leaks and his purloined documents that he wasn’t supposed to take, and his law professor buddy, who he directed the leak something to The New York Times in an article was written about that. I get into all that. Don’t give me this Comey crap. And if you read the indictment carefully. Number one. They talk about leaks in the plural. So it’s not just related to this McCabe incident, even though they point that out to. But it’s broader than that. So you’ll learn a lot. I think they count as what a lot of these former federal prosecutors. What they’re saying, this is where the truth is stated with energy and courage, not for the faint of heart.
