On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, Michael Reagan, the eldest adopted son of President Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, passed away at age 80 in Los Angeles. He was a man of deep faith who overcame early issues to become an engaging and supportive figure, strongly defending his father, Ronald Reagan, and backing President Trump. He wasn’t just the son of a president; he was a strong voice for conservative principles and a defender of the values that made this country great. Also, the military’s operation that swiftly removed Nicholas Maduro from Caracas, without injuring any American soldiers, was spectacular. Democrats previously called for Maduro’s removal but now criticize the action, raising questions of impeachment of President Trump and war crimes. There’s a lack of national unity. In the past both parties would celebrate such an event and praise the president and military, but now Democrats oppose it while their militia protests in U.S. cities. The country is in deep trouble regardless of the president, as constitutional protections for free speech and association are exploited by these groups, now joined by a recurring Hitlerian wing of neo-fascists who celebrate Hitler and Stalin, obsessively trash Jews, evangelical Christians supporting Israel, and the U.S. itself, while promoting Islamism and Sharia law. Later, property rights are fundamental human rights, earned through intellectual and physical labor, reflecting one’s limited time on earth to accumulate wealth for family. Slogans like Zohran Mamdani’s “warmth of the community” mask an iron fist of centralized government that erodes individual rights and liberties, rejecting Enlightenment and Judeo-Christian values in favor of Islamism and Marxism, which are incompatible with America’s founding. The collective dehumanizes individuals and diminishes their creations. Afterward, these ideologies, whether Islamist or Marxist are incompatible with Americanism, posing a survival threat rather than an affordability issue. Marxism has failed everywhere, yet it’s not taught in schools, media, or by podcasters. Our generation—parents and grandparents—must reclaim the public square to shield children from brainwashing by these diabolical saboteurs, including the Democrat Party, historically hostile to American beliefs.

Segment 1
Well, it is truly a sad day here for those of us who knew Michael Reagan. Truly a sad day. I just learned before coming on the air that he passed away on Sunday. In Los Angeles, 30 years old. I don’t know anything about it. I’m reading here from Newsmax. We’re saddened to learn that Michael Reagan, a founding Newsmax analyst on our network and columnist for Newsmax.com, passed away. He was the eldest son of President Reagan, and the late Jane Wyman was a noted commentator, syndicated radio host and bestselling author. He was adopted as a baby by by Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman and his wife Carlene, and daughters Cameron Reagan and Ashley Reagan. Dunster said he was called home to be with the Lord and described him as a man who meant so much to all who knew and loved him. He certainly did. And as he got older, he became a man of deep, deep faith. Deep faith. He was adopted by his father and Wyman shortly after his birth, 1945, in L.A.. He authored several bestselling books. And they point out he was engaging. He was just a great guy. He really was. He became a very strong supporter of President Trump. Time to. And he defended his father. You know, he had Ronald Reagan. Patty Reagan. Patty Reagan defended her father, too, even though she a still is a leftist. So as Ron Reagan defended his father, less so. But Mike Reagan was right there by his side all the time defending him, supporting him. And he was a very, very good man. You know, as many people when he was younger that he had issues and so forth, but he overcame them. And just a spectacular guy. So I’m I’m literally shocked. I had no idea. And we lost another good one there. But we plow ahead. Just a reminder why you want to try and live a good life. You want to have faith, believe in the good Lord. You want to do the best you can for your family and your country. You don’t really want to be remembered as a bigot and a racist in a Christian hater and a Jew hater and all the rest of it. It’s really nasty stuff. I’ve been exposed to things over the last ten months since I decided. To really take on these neo fascist woke Reich. Podcasters, I mean, called things and have experienced things I never thought was possible, but I never give up. And we’re never going to give up. And those of you who’ve been with me through all of it, the millions and millions of you in this. Fantastic national town hall meeting with you, the great Patriots. Mr. and Mrs. America out there. You’ve stood with me through thick and thin, and that’s what gives you strength. The Internet’s not my world. Thank God. It’s not my world. It’s been a few weeks there lately. And I’m glad it’s not my world. Just kind of filth. The good people are, unfortunately outnumbered in many respects. And, you know, they praise people and they denounce people. It’s just very weird, very weird place. Most mostly wouldn’t like it. That’s why most of you probably don’t spend a lot of time on there. I want to continue with something that I started before the holidays, and that is. The men who signed the Constitution of the United States. I’m not going to start from the beginning. I talked about a number of them, and I’m focused on the ones that you may have heard of and don’t know much about and maybe never heard of them. So I’m not going to focus on Madison and Washington and Franklin and so forth. Some people believe Thomas Jefferson signed the Constitution. He was in Paris, France. He did not even though he corresponded with Madison. They were very, very, very tight. And Jefferson was elected president. Madison was his secretary of state, so forth. And in the end, Jefferson supported the Constitution, even though a lot of those from the agrarian elements of the colonies opposed it. Excuse me. But let’s let’s continue with this because it’s something that you always tell me when you come up to me at a diner at Costco or book signing that you want to hear more of. And so we, you know, do about five or so, you know, the 39 only. Who signed the Constitution just 39. That’s okay. But it had to be ratified by the state conventions. So it was it was supported throughout. Wasn’t really your country then throughout the colonies. And it became a country. George Clymer. I’ve heard George Clymer wring a little bit of a bell. George Clymer was from Pennsylvania. His been raised by an uncle growing up to be a successful businessman. I’m reading from really good magazine. Constitution in the United States. I actually don’t even know who prepared it for the makers of all about history. Clamor put his money where his mouth was when revolutionary when the revolution broke out, converting his gold to continental currency to help finance the struggle for independence. Most of these men who did that went broke. Hyman Solomon, I’ve talked to you about. From Poland came in 1775, really, when the revolution began. It could even date before that, if you wish. He put all his money on the line. He died. A man in deep debt totally broke. He was owed money by our new government. He was owed money by Madison. He was owed money by others who he lent money to. But he didn’t have the money to pay him. He lost everything. And he died a pauper. I’ll bet you never heard of him. Certainly won’t hear of him from the neofascist. Well, Greek. Nick too busy interviewing other people. How about Jared Ingersoll? Although a loyalist in the early letters, he left America for Europe during the buildup to the Revolutionary War. He attended every session of the convention. He made little impact. But he supported the Constitution. How about Thomas Fitzsimmons? Also from Pennsylvania. After arriving in America as a teenager, he embarked on a successful career as a businessman. He saw service as a militia captain during the revolution. He donated $5,000 of his own money to the cause of independence $5,000. Back then, folks like. Like $100,000 today. I mean, it’s not it’s not chump change. And these men put their lives on the line. They put all their money on the line, and they knew if they lost, they would be killed in the most gruesome way. The British were were vicious. How about Thomas Mifflin? Pennsylvania. He was expelled from his Quaker church when he took a commission as he major in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Served as a quartermaster general in the Army and an aide to George Washington. He acted as a chairman of the convention. And yet most people know nothing about this man. Excuse me. Cholera. One more. It talk about the unknowns of the little knowns. Again, I’m not going to get into all the the greats. FRANKLIN So forth. I will one day. But right now I’m just covering those who you’ve probably never heard of before. One you should have heard of is Robert Morris. Morris No relation to Governor Morris made a fortune from a contract to import weapons during the Revolutionary War, but his work helped keep the Continental Army and fight one of the main men arming. The colonialists. His financial touch deserted him later in life, and he died a broken and destitute man. Many of them did. Tomorrow I’ll get the James Wilson way. Do you hear about him and others? I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Let me ask you folks a question. Maduro’s out that a single single, as far as we know, injured. American soldier. And he’s responsible for all kinds of murder and mayhem and. In his own country and certainly our country. The Democrat Party wanted him removed. They said they wanted him removed. Some of them even complained about Trump when he did. When he didn’t remove him, didn’t do anything about him, I think is what they were saying. None. What has to be one of the great and spectacular military operations. He’s removed. Right in the middle of Caracas, Venezuela, surrounded by his military, surrounded personally by the Cuban military because they didn’t trust his own military. I’ve read in 90 seconds time or in 3 minutes time, they were able to breach where he lived and remove him, get him on a helicopter, he and broom Hilda’s wife, and off they went. There was a time in this country where there would be. Much unanimity around something like this. We’d be proud of our military, proud of our president, the commander in chief. Both parties would be celebrating it. Those who opposed what took place were pretty much keep their mouths shut. And then when you look almost. All the Democrats who’ve spoken on this have trashed it, raised questions about it. Talk about impeachment. War crimes. Their militia, the Democrat Party militia, which is funded by communist China. Some of it’s funded by Qatar and so forth are in the streets. By the thousands in our cities. The Marxists, homegrown, joined by Islamists. Some homegrown, some imported. This country is in deep trouble. No matter who the president is, this is what’s going on. And we’re protecting these people. We’re arguing that the Constitution protects their free speech, Right. Protects their freedom of association, and they’re now being joined. By sort of a Hitlerian wing. Not of the Republican Party, not of the conservative movement, its its own it’s its own creation that pops up about every 80 years in this country. It’s these thugs. These goons. These neo fascists. Who celebrate Hitler and Stalin. Obsessed. We’re trashing Jews and. Evangelical Christians who support the state of Israel. Trashing our own country. Promoting. Islamism and Sharia law. I am proud of the fact I’ve done a lot in my life, and I’m proud of the fact that ten months ago, Mr. Producer, you can vouch for this. All my producers on Fox so far to vouch for this. I decided to take on this. This cancer, this poison, the people who you used to admire. I used to admire. Not all but some. I read somewhere on the internet. This is what I mean, how poisonous that that platform is on Twitter. Somebody came out today or yesterday and. Was talking about Islam and how. Radical it is. And how nobody’s confronting it and so forth. Nobody’s talking about it. Said, My God. Seriously? Do these people even read many of them on the Internet to even read a book of a whole chapter on this in on power? We’ve talked about this for years. This is one of the reasons I’ve decided I’m going to, at least for a period of time, enter the podcast world. Because I fear that too many people are literally. Unencumbered with knowledge, literally unencumbered with it. And so people can ignore facts and history and information, but I’m at least going to provide it so they have an opportunity to embrace it and think about it. You people are the smartest people out there. You truly are, and you’re great patriots. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
To Dan Abrams. I don’t know what his jobs are anymore. I don’t know if he’s still at ABC. I know he has his own podcast. He’s the founder of a site called Media. I thought early on. That that site would really be a very interesting site. I post from time to time. I denounce them from time to time, but it’s time to step back and take a look and take a measure of things. You use your site. To get hits. Use your site to get hits. Mediate. A couple of folks over there who are actually quite good, but too many who aren’t. But that beside beside everything else. What are you exactly? Dan Abrams. Are you a journalist? You, commentator. Jerry Springer. What are you. But I’ll tell you what I think. Why don’t you stop highlighting these racists and bigots and Christian bashers and Jew haters? You’re not fighting them or denouncing them. They would be different. There would be a good thing. You’re motivating them. That’s what you’re doing. You’re encouraging them. And I think it’s a disgrace. I mean, the site is, except for a few exceptions, profoundly left wing, profoundly anti-Trump and so forth. That’s your you’re right and so forth. And you also have the right to keep platforming. These racists and bigots and Christian bashers and Jew haters. But why do you keep doing it? That’s what I want to know. Why do you keep doing it? Again. You’re not. You’re not fighting them, You’re not denouncing them. You’re not confronting them. You’re highlighting them, you’re motivating them. Why are you doing that? I think it’s problematic. I also think it’s symptomatic. I’m watching these clips at CNN. What is that woman’s name again? Mr. Anderson Collins. What is her name? I can’t remember. Kaitlan Collins. She’s praised as this great journalist who stands up to Trump. He used to work for conservative media outlets, including Tucker Carlson’s The Daily CALLER. But she has Marjorie Taylor GREENE on Marjorie Taylor GREENE. Has resigned from the House of Representatives. She announced she was going to resign weeks ago. She accomplished absolutely nothing. She did absolutely nothing. She relentlessly threw turds in the swimming pool. She didn’t advance the conservative cause. She advanced her own cause, whatever that was in a given moment. She exploited the Trump election. She sought to exploit him. Now she relentlessly attacks him. And so they put him on it, put her put her on at CNN why she was going out the door. She’s now out the door. She is said nothing intelligent. They know exactly what she is and who she is. They know why she’s doing it. But why would the media promote her? There’s so many better members of the House of Representatives. Politicians and candidates. Who are thoughtful. There was something intelligent to say who are substantive. So here again, I talked about media, and they do that from time to time. But that’s the exception to the rule. Same with CNN and it’s the exception to the rule. That’s why AOC. Has been promoted from the day she won a Democrat primary in New York City. That’s why Bernie Sanders, who really comes from Vermont. Is relentlessly, relentlessly platformed promoted by the media. For what? For what? That’s why most of the so-called mainstream media, which is basically radical, left corrupt. They’re ideologues. Really, we’re not that aggressive. In exposing Madame. He was mostly the New York Post conservative independent media. But most of the networks, most of the rest of the media really weren’t into it. The guy is a dyed in the wool. Out of the closet. America hating, Jew hating. Marxist. Islamist. Of the worst kind. How is the mayor? He’s doing horrendous things, hideous things. On a side point, I would ask the media this. If a mayor thinks he has the right to steal your private property rights. Which are protected under the federal Constitution. Read it. Read it. A government can’t take your property without just compensation. The market value your property. That’s not the plan that me and the rest of his comrades have. So if you’re able to violate that part of the Bill of Rights, I presume the media are not going to be upset to be consistent. If he starts taking over shutting down newspapers. Right. Because one part of the Bill of Rights you may think is more important than another. But that’s not. That’s not what the framers felt after the Bill of Rights were adopted. After the Constitution was adopted. They have a problem with that? Of course they do, because that’s their self-interest. But property rights are property rights. James Madison wrote about it a great length. I’ve written about it myself. Your property, right? In physical property. Is your human right. It’s your human property. If a property in a property right and fiscal thing say property, write in intellectual things, a property right in expression. A property right in beliefs. Private property rights. Whether it’s real estate or something else, it’s all one in the same. It’s the same thing. How do you get private property? How do most of you get private property? You earned it. Well, what do you mean? You earned it? You made enough money. You worked hard. You spent your intellectual and physical labor, your time on this earth. Creating enough wealth for yourself and your family to accumulate things. That house you own. That car you own. Is a reflection of your labor. Of your human rights. Your private rights. Your property. It matters. When somebody talks about the warmth of the community. What community are they talking about? Who’s in charge of this community? Everybody and nobody. These are slogans, the warmth of the community. There is the warmth of the community. There’s an iron fist of government. And the more centralized it becomes and the more powerful it becomes. The less rights and liberty you have. This is as old as man himself. These people reject the Enlightenment. They reject Judeo-Christian values. That’s why they embrace Islamism and Marxism. Which I’ve said for years, and I’ve written the phrase. Are incompatible with Americanism, are incompatible with America’s founding, are incompatible with the Declaration in the Constitution. How come nobody talks about this stuff? I talk about it till I’m blue in the face. I write about it till I’m. What to my hand falls off my arm. These people are attacking you. They’re attacking your basic humanity. The collective dehumanizes you. The collective diminishes what you’ve created. Everybody can’t be famous. Thank God. Everybody can’t be a politician. Thank God. You need a plumber. You need an electrician. You need people who deliver goods, truck drivers, delivery people. These are the people who make everything work. The mechanics. The list is a long one. The people put food on the shelves. The people. Grow the food and package the food. The people who are in construction in one form or another. Emergency personnel when you need help. The American people are a good people. The best. The greatest. And you earn a living. You don’t want welfare. And when you earn a living, you have a right to keep most of what you earn from your intellectual and physical labor. You have a limited time on the face of this earth. I wrote about an liberty in tyranny. You have limited time on the face of this earth. And you spend a tremendous amount of that time working. That is. What you do to produce things, to take care of your family, to acquire things, and for some punk. Born in Uganda, took great wealth. There’s never lifted his finger in a real job. You get elected to public office and then think by getting 51 52% of the vote. That for the people in the community of New York. He can just destroy everything. Take anything you want. In short, you’re not secure by undermining the NYPD and the commissioner. Force you to listen five times a day. To a religious call to prayer. One religion. Who denounces you because you’re white. Who denounces you because you’re Jewish and Christian. Who denounces everything that’s come before everyone who’s come before who’s built this great country. He doesn’t have a member of his family who’s fought in any war to protect this country, let alone died in any war to defend this country. He doesn’t have a member of his family. That is put on the blue to defend his city. Who’s died defending his city. It’s a taker. He’s the worst of the welfare recipients. He’s a multimillionaire. Bernie Sanders is a multimillionaire. George Soros is a multi-billionaire. I’ve never seen a poor imam either while I’m at it. I’ve never seen a poor head of any Arab state either while I’m at it. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
You know, people come into this country. They haven’t lifted a finger to build it, to defend it, to support it, to contribute to it. They attack it. They attack our history. They attack our economic system. The attack. The people. Whose families have now and in the past created this fantastic society like no man has ever seen before. And I’m sick and damn tired of it. We have people that go to college. And they are brainwashed by these Marxist Islamists. These evil. Tenured professors. They turn on their families, they turn on their country. They turn on their faith. They joined together there in the streets. They’re all over the Internet. Some of them are podcasters. Since when did a 19 year old know how to run the country? Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not against 19 year olds, but there are places and things and experience and so forth and so on. Joe the 19 year old is. It’s dictating how the rest of us should should live. Is that okay with you? That’s what goes on. In the ether out there. They attack, quote unquote, the boomers. And we know what the hell a boomer is. I don’t you know, I don’t talk this way. I don’t categorize people this way. But you’re a boomer. Oh, the boomers. I see the boomers who paid for your student loan. The boomers who subsidize your life, the boomers, your parents who put a roof over your head, clothes on your back, food in your mouth. Those are the boomers. I don’t disrespect the generation that came before mine. Do you? I respect them. I learned from them. I want to hear what they have to say. Unfortunately, with obviously some exceptions, that’s not what we’re seeing and hearing today. You’re just all wrong. You don’t know what you’re doing. You’re being out ratio. Oh, these words are just fantastic. Look how many followers you have. Nothing to do with substance, integrity, ethics, morality, philosophy. Here’s nothing. Zero. And so you have stories like this from media. I, Dan Abrams. You should be ashamed of yourself. You really should. David Smith goes off on Trump with Theo Van. He’s totally divided his base. David Smith is a low IQ comedian who became famous because Joe Rogan kept platforming him. You remember Joe Rogan, don’t you? He finally found his niche with the UFC, finally found his niche as a podcaster. Before that, you know, it was doing dumb shows on TV. Now he’s a genius. Wow, He’s really cool. You know, he smoked pot and. You know. Yeah, four months. He’s not a Holocaust denier. He just went questioning how many Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. And he’s on with Theo van. Who the hell is Theo van? Another phony. A comedian. This whole cabal, the interview each other, they promote each other. You want to know why? With the younger generation, not all younger people. We have young men and women in the military, all volunteer young men and women who are cops and firefighters. And I got that. I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about the whiners in the complainers. A for people like Madani. I’m talking about that. Hey, listen to these little ol bums. Her getting rich, selling bigotry and racism and anti-Semitism, stupidity. Who know nothing about our real history? Nothing. Zero. We’re going to counter this. We’re going to counter this, recounting it now on this program. My TV show and we’re going to counter this more. Don’t get me wrong, we’re going to keep our eye on the Democrats and the Marxist Islamists. We’re going to keep our eye on what we need to keep our eye on. But this is the 250th anniversary of the founding of this country. And we have an obligation. We old timers, you know. We have an obligation. All right. We’re going to talk about Iran when we come back. Day ten of the effort of the Iranian people trying to free themselves from an Islamist Nazi regime. We’ll be right back.
