On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he’s delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Also, Ukraine drones blew up a Russian oil tanker. For all the talk of Ukraine losing this war, they are putting up a fight. Ukraine is on the offense! Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence’s references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors. Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There’s an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement.

Segment 1
This is our last program of the year. And I want to wish you all. Final nights of Hanukkah. Wonderful. Hanukkah. Merry, Merry Christmas. Next week. Really a wonderful time of the year, isn’t it? And we will spend time with family as you are and will. And that’s a wonderful thing to. Let’s see what was sent to me here on through social from the president because of ISIS’s vicious killing of brave American patriots in Syria. Those beautiful souls they welcomed home to American soil earlier this week. In a very dignified ceremony. I’m hereby announcing that the United States is inflicting very serious retaliation, just as I promised the murderous terrorists and responsible. We are striking very strongly against ISIS strongholds in Syria, place soaked in blood, which has many problems, but one that has a bright future. Faces can be eradicated. Government of Syria, led by a man who is working very hard to bring greatness back to Syria and is fully in support of terrorists who are evil enough to attack Americans are hereby warned you will be hit harder than you have ever been hit before if you in any way attack or threaten the USA. President Trump. And that’s the way you deal with terrorists. That’s the way you deal with them. That’s the way Israel deals with them. That’s the way you have to deal with them. So I would just point that out, you know? When Israel is going after terrorists, Hamas terrorists. They’ve been stopping terrorism, by the way. The fact that they’re brutalizing Palestinians and executing them and it gets almost no attention is revealing of something. But that’s how you deal with terrorists. And so it is not breaking a cease fire when you deal with terrorists, and it’s certainly not breaking anything else. They need to be eliminated. And I got to say this for all the talk about Ukraine is losing Ukraine, this Ukraine that Ukraine is fighting. They are fighting. I mean, Russia’s paying a very, very heavy price. Ukraine, of course, but Russia was supposed to be able to mop them up. Right. Emily Crane, New York Post Ukraine Drones Blow Up a Russian oil Tanker. An unprecedented special operation. Dramatic video. It is dramatic, isn’t it, Mr. Producer? It is a massive, massive explosion. The out-of-area operation marks the first time Kiev has struck in neutral waters. Excuse me. Cholera. Until now, Ukraine security services only claimed responsibility for drone attacks in the Black Sea. Well, what are they supposed to do? He need to go on the offensive. That’s exactly what they’re doing. The candle vessel, which was empty at the time, is said to have suffered critical damage. Ukraine insisted the strike posed no threat to the environment, claiming the vessel wasn’t carrying cargo at the time. The tanker had unloaded oil at the Indian port of Seke earlier this month and was enroute back when the strike was carried out, according to officials. Yeah, they blew this thing really sky high, this Russian tanker. And I don’t know what Putin expects. But these people clearly are going quietly. They clearly have no intention of going quietly. The cleaner not. Going to go quietly and they shouldn’t. I’m all for Ukraine. I’m on team Ukraine. Yes, I am. Blood’s Muslim Bondi Beach hero who disarmed. A terrorist branded a traitor in Arab media for saving Jewish lives? Well, of course. Of course. The heroic Syrian Austrian man. Who disarm one of the terrorists firing at a crowd of Hanukkah revelers in Australia’s Bondi Beach has been slammed as a traitor by many Palestinian commentators for saving Jewish lives. There must never be. There can never be. There will never be a so-called Palestinian state. After the West Bank based a.k.a. Judea and Samaria based Ramallah news outlet shared a story about the life saving actions taken by Ahmad Ahmad, 43. Many of the outlet’s readers trash the Muslim hero and prayed that he would not recover from his serious injuries, according to Palestinian Media Watch. Now see this the thing. This is why I talk over and over again about the Islamists. Who murder non-conforming non fundamentalist Muslims, murder them, slaughter them. Because this is what they think. This is who they are. His heroism served as a feel good story for most of the world. And it goes on. But we don’t need to read that because you already know what he did. And he’s going to receive and this is a good thing. Let’s see here. He’s going to receive a $1.6 million check donated by 43,000 supporters. That’s he’s been given a check for actually 2.5 million modestly asking you if he was actually worthy, the support from tens of thousands of strangers. He was given the oversized check in Australian dollars equivalent to about 165. Million American dollars. It’s very, very. Impressive, this man. Very, very impressive. And of course, the Islamists hate him. If the Islamists had their way, they’d kill him. There would be, among others, Palestinians. And one of the ISIS inspired terrorists, Raji Akram, 50, was shot dead by police. And we know about that. Yeah. Everybody saw this man. He was. It was absolutely fantastic. And, you know. This is why when you look at what took place on that subway. In New York. A man stepping in and trying to help people and save people. And he wound up Penny Penny, who was fantastic hero. And. The person he subdued wound up dying, and then they try to charge him. It was outrageous. We want men and women. Who will stand up, especially men. To protect their fellow man. That is their fellow citizen. Or anybody, for that matter. And that’s very important, too, by the way. Speaking of important, I’ve got two important life, Liberty and Levin shows this weekend. But I’m very focused on my opening statement on Sunday. I taped the opening statement on Sunday. I taped it Thursday morning. And let me just give you a little insight into this early in American history. Early in American history, before America was a country of the United States. Christians and Jews live together and work together. Not that there was an overwhelming number. An overwhelming number of. Choose. But the word Jews. And they showed a value system. They shared a belief system. And when the Revolutionary War began. There was a man. By the name of Solomon. And I want to tell you about this man and his impact on the Revolutionary War. And I want to get into this a little bit more with you, because as Christians, you should be very proud, as Jews, you should be very proud. And moreover, as Americans, you should be very proud of how this nation was founded on the Judeo-Christian belief system and by Jews and Christians. But there’s no question about it. This nation essentially was founded by Christians, a Christian nation, relying on Judeo-Christian principles and also relying on Jews for assistance at key times who were very patriotic as well. And we should be celebrating these things. We should be teaching these things. So we’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Solomon, who we’ve talked about before, helped finance the American Revolution in a migrant as many were back then from Poland. He immediately joined the Revolutionary War. He’d been captured multiple times by the. But the British. In served in these prison boats that were horrendous. And that’s one of the reasons he died when he was a young man, 44 years old. That said, he not only raised funds, he gave many of his. Resources to the Revolutionary War. He died penniless because the government never paid him back. And he also provided. Finances to help some of the greatest. Founders of the Time, Madison and others, and they didn’t have the funds to pay them back. He died a pauper. A hero who was known at the time but is not known today. In history ought to be taught. But I just want to make. Make it clear. Washington. Adams. Jefferson, Madison, among many others. But those are four big, big, big men involved in this nation’s founding. They were all. Very, very familiar and versed in what was called the Hebrew Bible. They studied it. They knew it backwards and forwards. And it influence their views, whether it was the Declaration or the Constitution. Obviously, Jefferson was there, but he supported it and. I had a major impact. How do we know? Because they said so. Washington, famously. Wrote a letter and visited to. He gets the oldest synagogue, if not one of them, in Rhode Island. And one of the things he told them in a letter. Was that in America and under his stewardship that children of Abraham would be protected and could live like all other people. Now, this was a remarkable statement at a time like this. Remarkable statement. John Adams lavished praise. When the Jews. Who he called repeatedly. The chosen people Don’t look at me. I’m just telling you what he said. Jefferson was first among equals in promoting religious liberty, both in the colonies in Virginia as an example, as well as pressed it hard in Maryland after he retired from the presidency. And he was a big believer in religious liberty. And Madison, too. And this is why we have our First Amendment. You don’t establish a state religion, but you don’t. You know, interfere. With the exercise of religion either. And that’s what these men believe now. At the Constitutional Convention. All the delegates were Christian. Different denominations, for sure. All of them were Christian. At the Second Continental Congress. But the Declaration of Independence was voted on and was written and voted on. All the delegates were Christian. All of them. Now it is said correctly. Led Jefferson and Franklin were deists. But they were Christians. Nadiya simply means it could mean many things, but it is a general matter. It means that. They weren’t exactly sure what God’s role was in individual affairs and so forth, but that there was in fact, a God. Who did, in fact, have an enormous impact on humanity. So this nation was founded by Christians. There is simply no debate. And it’s a very, very good thing. That it was. Because Christianity. Both during the pre-revolutionary and revolutionary period in constitutional period and today. Is a beneficent. Faith. It is a tolerant faith. It is. A humane faith. And that’s why minorities in America are able to live freely. Religious minorities. And I’ve told you this before. God bless the Christians. God bless the Christians. And I say this as a Jew. I also know. That our declaration. The expressions in our declaration, the references to God, divine providence, and so forth. Come from the the combination of the Judeo Christian belief system and values. That Christianity was heavily influenced by Judaism and. Who knew it. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and most of the others. So when you hear people today like Tucker Carlson and others trying to bifurcate the two. This is a new attack not just on Jews, but on Christians. If you listen to some of the great pastors of our day now, like John Hagee and many, many other Pastor Evans and so forth. But there are others. Many others. They repudiate. What Carlson says as blasphemy. Blasphemy and the right. And I want to continue on this for a little bit, given the fact that it’s Hanukkah and Christmas is next week. We’ll be right back.
Segment 3
You’ve heard me say for some time now that Americanism is incompatible with Islamism. And many people have cited Charlie Kirk for that. We’ve been talking about that a long time. Charlie was a big fan of this show. Americanism and Islamism are incompatible. If you read on power, I actually say it right there and you don’t have in front of me, I think it’s chapter four or five. And this is what I want to get to. Islamism is not compatible with American. Judeo Christian foundational principles. And as I explain in the book and as I make that clear in the book and as I’ve talked about for years on this program, Judaism and Christianity. While people obviously practice their faith. Live by their faith. What does their faith tell them? You see the issue with Islamism is. Islamism. As Zuhdi Jasser puts it, he calls it political Islamism. Islamism is not purely about faith. Islamism is also about. How you supposed to run a society, literally, how you’re supposed to run a society. So the Koran is filled with rules and laws, not for your own practice, but Sharia courts. The rules about marriage and goes on and on and on. Christianity and Judaism have some of that, but it’s not about. Issues of of governance for an entire society. It’s about beliefs. Beliefs. And the point is that you practice a faith, you practice beliefs, you pass that on to your children and your grandchildren, but you don’t turn to your neighbor and say, this is what this says. And so if if you live your life like X. And if you don’t treat your wife like this and you don’t have this many children and you don’t do this and you don’t do that, then you’re blasphemous. This is a massive distinction. Between Christianity, Judaism. And Islamism. A massive distinction. So Islamists. Insist on the imposition of these viewpoints, of these beliefs on Christians, Jews, other Muslims, and everybody else. And everybody else. That’s why it’s incompatible. And explain in detail and on power. But we’ve talked about it in detail here over the years as well. Christianity preaches tolerance. Judaism the same thing. What do I mean by that? I just said in the last segment. I love this stuff. I love it. I just said. That this nation was founded by Christians. And Judeo-Christian values and beliefs undergird our founding. They undergird our declaration. They undergird our constitution. They undergird our civil society. And yet. People from all backgrounds. All races, all creeds, all ethnicities and all religions can live in America. And practice their faith. And so forth and so on and do. Not so. In Qatar. Not so in Saudi Arabia. Not so in Egypt. Not so. And the list is a long one. Now, there are Muslim countries. That have embraced. The Reformation and reform like Indonesia, which is the largest Muslim country on the face of the Earth. And there’s over 50. I’ve heard it said there’s 57 Muslim countries. I don’t have time to Google it, but something of that sort. And they come in different varieties, different governments. The vast majority of which, however, are not Democratic. Because if you believe in the seventh century. Sort of barbarian system. If you reject the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment. Then you must. Theoretically, if you’re a fundamentalist, impose your views on others, because only then are you doing God’s will. Only then will the Messiah appear. That is not Christianity or Judaism. It’s not. As this factual. And so when I say. That Islam. I’m not talking about all Muslims, obviously, but when I say Islam is incompatible. With Americans. It’s a fact. Look at Texas. We have Islamist imams trying to create their own. Countries with an I with an estate. And supports segregation, if you will. Only people who agree should be allowed to live in that community. We’re talking about outside of Plano, Texas, and in Houston and so forth and so on. And they’re not the only places. Dearborn. A stan is heading in that direction in a very fast and significant way. In a very fast and significant way. So when. Tucker Carlson. Carlson. At Turning Point USA. Says I’m a Christian and then proceeds to smear Christians and then proceeds. The candy coat Islamism. He should be totally and completely rejected. In as much as he says, there is no such thing as Judeo-Christian values, which of course, is. Lunacy. He’s an ignoramus. But that aside. He’s striking. At the heart of our republic that is against it. Against it. You see, you can’t just attack. Jewish values without attacking Christian values and vice versa. And vice versa. And that’s why he’s an anti-Semite, in my view. And he attacks Jews and he’s a Christian basher because he knows that you can’t you can’t bifurcate Judeo and Christian when we’re talking about Judeo-Christian values and beliefs. Obviously, there’s different practices. Obvious different beliefs in the Messiah. Okay, but that’s not what I’m talking about. That’s not what I’m talking about. This is why he and he’s not alone. He’s attacking now, not just Jews, but what he calls. Christian Zionists and there are Christian Zionists. These are Christians who believe in the Holy Land and the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. Christianity. That’s your Bible. That’s your Bible. No, I’m not proselytizing. I don’t pretend to be a. A rabbi or a pastor or a priest or what have you. But I know what I’m talking about when it comes to the philosophical and the practical. I really do. This is why Islamists can never be assimilated into the American culture. This is why they never want to be assimilated into the American culture. You see some of these people, these leftists. To embrace them and promote them because their objective is the same. No, not the imposition of Islam on the entire population. No. The destruction of the West, the destruction of America, the Constitution and the Republican system. In this. There’s overlay in this. There is camaraderie. There’s collusion. And they’ll figure out how to work it all out at the end if they succeed, which they won’t. But if they succeed. But that’s beside the point. So seventh century. Barbarian ism. Or barbarism. His income panel. With a civil society. This is why I have been leading the charge condemning Qatar. This is why I have been leading the charge, telling you it’s incompatible. This is why I’ve been leading the charge to explain the fusion of. Marxism and Islamism. Would be the destruction of America. Now when I was talking about this. Nobody was talking about it and people were afraid to talk about it. They were scared to death. This is how. Mr.. Mrs.. America. This is how. I approach what I do. That is to tell you what I know to be true. And let the chips fall where they may and not tell you once, but tell you a lot. In order to push this into the mainstream, in order to push this into our culture so people understand what we’re confronting. This is why in May and June, when I decided to take on Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon. In others names I can’t even remember. I was told you might not want to do that. These are very powerful people. I said, they’re not powerful. They’re bullies. They got very. Niche audiences, their bullies and the destroying our youth. They’re brainwashing our youth. They’re destroying MAGA, destroying the Republican Party, which is the only party that stands for in front of the Democrat Party. They are constantly stabbing the president in the back. They’re anti-Semites. They are Christian bashers. Somebody’s got to stand up to them. And. This is what happened. And this is why it had to happen. I could be wrong, but I’m very excited, at least from my perspective, that so many people now feel very comfortable. In taking these people on. Not enough. Everybody should. We have top level Republicans who sit silently or coddle these people. That cannot be tolerated. Some of them expect to be president or vice president or senator or congressman. No. If you don’t have the guts, the moral clarity to stand up. To people who are literally tacking, attacking our foundational principles that make this country great. Then you’re not a leader and God knows you shouldn’t be in that position. And there are people who can be leaders and should be in that position. I hope this makes sense. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
I thought it important as a general matter, but also given the season to get into this a little bit. And next time I’m going to get into another aspect of it and that aspect is going to be. Why was the Republican Party founded? How did it come to be? How did the Republican Party come to be? I mean, it’s hard to create a new political party. And who are we as Republicans? What is our history? What is our ancestral foundation, if you will? And so this hour, I’ve talked about the founding period. Judeo Christian belief system. And how did that manifest itself? In the 1850s and beyond. This is very, very important. Because we need to understand who we are, how we came to be, why we are as we are. Because otherwise this Bengalis, the frauds, the reprobates, are going to tear this country apart. Because they are they’re making statements that are untrue. They’re promoting ideas. That are perverse. It’s not who we are. And so there’s an example to be an anti-Semite. Is the attack. The Judeo-Christian foundations of the nation. And this is why I’ve said how many years? Then if you hate America who hate Israel, and if you hate Israel, you hate America. I’m not talking about every policy. That is not the point. In the debate isn’t over every policy the debate over is whether or not the Jews have a right to survive and to exist in their ancient homeland. The founders would say, why is it even a debate? But again, keep in mind. When you attack Jews, the anti-Semitism, you’re attacking the Judeo Christian belief system, you’re attacking Americanism. That is exactly what you’re doing. Now, I know the bigots. And the Jew haters will say, See that? See that? See what? That’s our history. That book on your night table, that Bible. That’s the history of mankind right there. I didn’t make it up. I will continue as we go into the new year. And the remaining four years I have on radio. I will continue to do. What I’ve done this year and every other year. You’ve got to be willing. To learn your history. You’ve got to be willing. To promote your history. And most of all, you’ve got to be willing to defend your history. If you abandon your history, you wind up with. Sickening arguments about how the Third Reich is misunderstood and how Hitler really was the bad guy was Churchill. Churchill and that we were fighting on the wrong side, that Hitler was actually a good Christian man. And that it’s not possible that he slaughtered all those people, including the Jews. It’s not possible. These liars. These bigots. They’re relying on ignorance. And I’m relying on you, Mr. and Mrs. America, for your intelligence, your patriotism, and that you’ll pass on what we discuss to your children and grandchildren.
