On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the United States is a nation at war with itself, dividing Americans into two sides: patriotic, red-blooded citizens who love their country on one side, and elected Democrats in Washington—along with their operatives, Marxists, Islamists, the woke Reich neo-fascists—on the other. The Democrat Party policies undermine national security and sovereignty, such as opening borders to unvetted illegal aliens for years, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country. This includes reluctance to deport, willingness to undermine protective agencies like the Coast Guard and TSA during heightened threats, and overall betrayal. Also, certain phony influencers, along with elements of the Democratic Party, are spreading antisemitism, embracing overseas enemies, inciting violence against Jews and Christians and providing aid and comfort to adversaries during wartime. There are escalating attacks targeting Jews and Jewish facilities, such as the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan. Then there’s the shooting at Old Dominion University by a gunman was previously convicted for ISIS support. Later, the media is foolish for suggesting Iran needs to activate sleeper cells, as Islamist operatives are already brainwashed, self-motivated, and perpetually poised to act without any central call. These threats extend beyond Jews, as evidenced by 9/11, and more violence is inevitable, putting everyone at risk. Additionally, Iran’s regime is deliberately attempting to block the Strait of Hormuz to drive up oil prices, aiming to generate global pressure on President Trump. The media and foreign actors are hypocritically amplifying complaints about rising oil costs—despite previously ignoring high prices under climate change agendas—while propagandists in the press aid the enemy and push for concessions to preserve this homicidal, genocidal regime. Finally, James Rosen calls in to discuss his book – Scalia: Supreme Court Years, 1986 to 2001. He explains that Scalia was one of the important Americans of the last 100 years.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. We’re a nation at war with ourselves, ladies and gentlemen. We’re a nation at war with ourselves. You red blooded Americans, Mr. and Mrs. America, who are patriots who love your country. You. Me? We are on one side. Elected Democrats in Washington and their operatives. The Marxists. The Islamists. And the woke right neo fascist are on another side. And it’s getting very, very ugly out there. Why would any nation open its borders for a period of whatever, four years to anybody who wants to come in without proper vetting? What nation does that? Ours under the Democrats. What nation? Leaves people in the country who should have been here in the first place, who are dangerous. And then tries to defund the very agency that’s trying to track them down and remove them. The Democrats. What nations defund their Coast Guard, which is part of the Navy? Certainly during wartime. Defunds TSA, which is supposed to keep us safe on all overland transportation, including airlines and trains and bridges. The Democrat Party. What nation undermines itself when it’s in the middle of a war against an enemy that wants to blow off the face of the earth with nuclear weapons. The Democrat Party. You see, I pose it this way. What nation? And then I say the Democrat Party, because the Democrat Party is dragging down the entire nation. As it seeks to. Grab all power for one party rule. That’s all I cares about. I’ve told you this before. Just like the Communist Party in other countries. The party comes first. The party controls the nation. You and I, we don’t believe in committing suicide as a society. But the Democrat Party. Is doing everything possible. To sabotage our country and threatening our very existence. Now. It should be obvious by now. That among other targets. That Jews and Jewish facilities are being targeted. Whether it’s a beat down in San Jose at a restaurant out of the blue. Whether it’s chasing. Hasidic Jews in New York City. Or whether it’s driving a vehicle into the headquarters of Carbide in Brooklyn, New York. Whether it is shooting two staffers to the Israeli embassy, one of whom wasn’t Jewish, one of whom clearly was this young, beautiful couple. Whether it was using a homemade flamethrower. In attempt to burn to death mostly elderly people who are protesting on behalf of Israel and against Hamas. One of whom died. When seven out of every ten hate crimes in this country. It’s against a tiny minority of the population, Jews. We got a problem. My Christian friends out there understand this. The understand. This is an attack. That’s based on. Religion. And ethnicity. They understand. You understand? Your link from the Old Testament to the new. And that the effort to destroy the United States of America is an effort to destroy everybody in the United States, in America, who doesn’t abide by the Marxist Islamist ideology. That is what’s taking place right now in front of your eyes. They’ve conquered most of Europe, and now their attention is on the United States of America. And just like the left wing parties in Europe, the Democrat Party in the United States of America. Doesn’t merely acquiesce to this. It embraces it because it sees it as its way to one party rule and control and power. Michael Bouchard. The sheriff in West Bloomfield. We’re going to cover both of these shootings. In Michigan today. Cut one. Go. Here’s what we know so far. A car came to the facility and breached the facility by driving into it. It was engaged by security. We believe there is one individual deceased in the vehicle. It’s been complicated because there was some fire, to say the least, with that vehicle. We believe that individual is deceased and no kids. This is the important thing. No kids or no staff was injured whatsoever. So we have no victims other than one of the lead security people was hit by the car and was taken to the hospital for treatment. That individual should be okay. So, so far, that’s our information to this point. We have agencies from all over. Obviously, ATF is here and FBI. More than likely, we’ll be taking the lead on this based on some of the preliminary investigative information we have. But we’re not going to go into that at this point. And we want to assure the community it doesn’t appear to be anything active. We’re still clearing the area. We’re going to clear vehicles for any explosive devices, the building, etc.. Unification of the families and the kids are in progress. We’ve accounted for everybody that we believe was in the building at the time. So we’re on path to continue to maybe pivot to. Is there anybody else involved And the investigative side of what’s happened so far that it was security that shot and killed the suspect here? Well, we can’t say what killed him at this point, but security did engage the suspect with gunfire. Did the suspect have a weapon? We can’t get into a lot of that stuff. But he breached the building, drove down the hall, and and he was engaged by security. So do we know if he ever fired shots? Preliminarily, we have some information, but nothing that we confirm. So we’re not going to go into it. We’re going to keep the building front. He drove in through doors with a vehicle. There was only one person in that vehicle. That’s what it appears at this point. What do we know about this fire? If something ignited in the vehicle. That’s a work in progress. We’re through an abundance of caution, clearing the vehicle for IEDs or any explosives. We’ve got a significant number of bomb dogs, onsite bomb packs on site. And all of that’s going to be done to check the boxes. We have deployed resources all across the county just in case, out of an abundance of caution that there may be a secondary site, but we don’t have any information at this time to believe that. So we want people to take a breath. No one was hurt. We’re on top of it with the chief and his team got here fast and everything that was supposed to happen happened. Security did their job, and then the responders did theirs. The terrorist. That car was registered to a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon. That’s the terrorist. And we will dig up that name. It is what you see. I can’t find it right now, but you see if he can. You haven’t seen any name yet. Hmm. It’s very strange. We will spend the next 3 hours digging for it. I can assure you that. Authorities have now confirmed that a chemical agent was found inside the truck that rammed the temple, Israel and Michigan. Police sources confirmed to Fox Channel two that the chemical agent, which was not identified, indicated that there was an explosive device inside the shooter’s vehicle. The shooter who died on the scene threw an explosive projectile at the building before opening fire at the house of worship. So, as I understand it, he rams through with his truck. Drives down what is a hallway. He is engaged by security. They fired shots. Apparently he fired shots. There is explosive chemical agent in the car. Either he released that agent or. As a result of the shooting, it blew up. The FBI and hundreds of law enforcement officers raced to Temple Israel in West Bloomfield. Smoke billowed from the building. Apart from the shooter, no further fatalities. And. One of the security guards was apparently hurt, but not life threatening. There’s another report that says that the terrorists did, in fact, release an explosive projectile. And obviously, they’re looking very closely at that. And we’re digging for the name. I know what I know, but we’re digging for the name and we’ll talk more about that in a moment. But I want to shift to another. Another location where there was another. Another attack by a naturalized citizen from Sri Lanka. And this gunman was ID’d with ISIS links. He was in prison. He was let out of prison early by some damnable left wing judge, no doubt. Even though he was imprisoned for material assistance for terrorism, that’s a pretty big deal. There’s Dominic Evans, FBI, Norfolk Cut 19. Go. I’d like to acknowledge the students who showed extreme bravery and courage by containing the student or I’m sorry, this s containing the shooter and stopping further loss of life. The FBI is now the lead investigative agency investigating this as an act of terrorism. The shooter has been identified as Mohammed Baylor Jalloh. In 2016, Jalloh was arrested and pled guilty for attempting to provide material support to Islam, now known as ISIS. Jallow was sentenced to prison in October 2017 and was released from prison in 2024. FBI, Norfolk’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and our Evidence Response team responded to the scene and will continue to have a physical presence here at the scene as we process the evidence. Additionally, we are conducting other investigative steps into Jallow and the specifics of the shooting. We have dedicated analytical and tactical support. We are aiding in this investigation throughout the entire time. We will continue to work alongside of our partners. And those in the community to find answers. The FBI continues to ask for the public’s help in providing any information that could lead us and resolve. I mean, this investigation and we remind the public that any detail, no matter how small, could be useful. A collection of those small details may help to paint a complete picture. Thank Cut 20. I can tell you that we have confirmed reports that prior to him conducting this act of terrorism, he shouted Allah, stated Al Akhbar, and he was formerly a subject of a FBI investigation in material supporting terrorism. Allah Akbar, which means God is most great. And it’s used by most Muslims during prayer as a general declaration of faith and Thanksgiving. I’m going to take a break and I’m going to address both of these. We’ll be right back.
Segment 2
All right. We’re going to a live press conference by the sheriff in the Michigan synagogue attack. I kind of want to give the 20,000 foot level and then we’re going to have a number of speakers, both from the police department here, Chief Young and from the FBI. Obviously, a horrific thing happened tragically here in Oakland County again. So we’ve been through a number of these things. And the one thing that I want to make sure the local community is aware of, first and foremost is this community works together handling life. This community takes care of each other. And we have been communicating regularly. I have been texting the chief, not just in West Bloomfield, but every place that’s got significant houses of worship, a Jewish facility, synagogues, temples, you name it, over the past two weeks. Obviously, what happens around the world sometimes affects us. So we have to think about it and be prepared for it. So we’ve been talking by text, actually, the head of security from the temple two days ago and communicated some information to him. So the first thing the community should know is that we not just today work together. We work together all the time. Our state, our federal and local partners. Number one. Number two, we train in our world. Preparation is important. We hope and pray it never happens. But that’s not a strategy. Preparation is so all of us have been training together for many years for active shooters or active assailants, mass casualty events. And tragically, we’ve had way more than our share. So that is ongoing and is in place. The third thing it’s important to note, no children and no staff were hurt. So we know there’s evil in the world and we know they only have to get out. We’re going to take a hard break. Mr. Producer will pick it up from here. Okay. When we come back, So you won’t miss any of this press conference. Ladies and gentlemen, that facility, that synagogue also has classrooms for little kids. And a lot of kids were, in fact, there. And thank the good Lord, nothing happened to them. More when we return.
Segment 3
This is the ongoing press event. Law enforcement is having some of the details on that, but they stop the threat about the attack on the synagogue in Michigan. Now, there were some injuries and things that had to be taken care of. One of the head of security was taken to the hospital. He got knocked down by the car when it breached the building. And we’ve had 30 law enforcement officers taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. So a lot of our folks from my SWAT team and other agencies are still in treatment because that building became engulfed in the car for. And we’ll learn all of that through the investigation. Why it became engulfed in flames, what was the ignition source? And I think the ATF is taking that the or the origin of that source and origin of the fire. But in any event, what it did, it caused terrible, terrible smoke in that part of the building. And so when all of our people collectively went in that building to search out the threat to remove innocent, a lot of them took in a significant amount of smoke inhalation and they’re at the hospital being treated. So I also know you’re going to have a lot of questions. A lot of those questions can’t be answered at this point because it’s super preliminary. And the investigation, you know, all of us have thoughts of maybe why this happened, but we don’t operate in a world where we can presume something. We have to determine it through investigation and specificity. And that is a work in progress. As we speak, all of us will work seamlessly together to get the answers. And then it will be called what it is. Obviously, it’s a hateful terror, terror, terror. Terrible thing. Right. But what drove this person in the action that has to be determined by the investigation, we can presume, but we have to find those facts. And that’s going to happen over the next days in time. So we won’t be able to get into a lot of the evidentiary questions, but we’re available to make sure the community understands that we are still on a very heightened platform. And the most important thing that I would tell a community, don’t be afraid to call us if we’re not your own local police department, call your local police department. We’d rather respond to 100. Nothing’s in this one real deal. The only way we prevent something like this is to get a call some things off with my son, my brother, my boyfriend. Whatever the case, I saw something posted. That’s the only way we interdict because people are more likely to see or hear something before us. So if you see or hear or something, you have to communicate that and then we can intervene and hopefully prevent. But if we can’t prevent, then we respond and mitigate. That’s what happened today. And I think based on the early information that happened flawlessly. So with that, I’ll kick it over to my friend, Chief Young from West Bloomfield Police Department. Thank you. My name is Dale Young and the police chief of West Bloomfield. I want to share with you how we got to where we are today. So today we received a911 call, which came in around 12:19 p.m.. It’s about an active shooter situation at Temple Israel where the individual drove into the building. West Bloomfield officers arrived on scene under 5 minutes. Temple security officers engage the individual and neutralize the threat. Our officers, combined with area agencies, cleared the building multiple times and safely and successfully evacuated all children and staff. This is an active crime scene and we are examining every angle related to this situation. I will now turn this over to the FBI for further comment. Hello. My name is Jennifer Runnion. Last name are you? N. Y n. And I’m a special agent in charge of the FBI Detroit field office. This is a deeply disturbing and tragic incident, and I. Deepest sympathies are with the victims, their family and the entire Jewish community. The FBI is here working with our state, local and federal partners to investigate this incident. And I can confirm that we are leading the investigation right now as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community. As my partners have said, this is an active and ongoing investigation with an active crime scene. And I ask for your patience as we process this evidence and pursue every lead that has come to us and that we have developed thus far. So what I can share is this There was one subject involved in this incident who is now deceased. And as my partners have said, we’ve had no victim fatalities. I would not be able to provide additional information at this time on the subject or his motive as our goal is to protect the integrity of this investigation and to ensure that we give you accurate and timely information as soon as we can. The FBI was notified of active reports excuse me, of active shooter at Temple Israel at approximately 1245. We immediately activated and deployed all of our crisis response resources, includes our SWAT team and the crisis negotiation team or evidence response team, our special agent, bomb techs, our weapons of mass destruction team, our cellular analysis survey team, and our victim services, as well as more than 100 agents and analysts to ensure that we are actively mitigating and responding to the active threat, but also pursuing diligently and methodically every lead that we have. My ass to the public is a few things. I know everyone wants information now, but I ask that you be patient as we are still processing the scene and still pursuing everything that we can, and that has come to us today. Second, we’ve activated a digital media tip line for any witnesses who has photos or videos of the incident today. They can upload those at w ww dot FBI dot gov. Forward slash West Bloomfield attack all one word, but the public can also report through our call line at one 800 call FBI. If you have any information about this incident and or any other suspicious activity that you see around in your community, your life, your places of worship, your schools. As a sheriff said, we all need to remain vigilant. It takes the whole community. This is Mark Levin. We’re carrying the press conference saying that in Michigan, personal effects where the synagogue was attacked and as soon as we have a reunification site to get those effects to the affected victims, we will be sure to release that as soon as possible. I want to thank our partners and the first responders and the security personnel at Temple Israel who did an excellent job. I think that’s that’s what we’ll take right now. And we don’t have any further press conference, at least not right now. Regarding the Old Dominion University attack. By an Islamist terror attack. It appears that one individual was killed. Perhaps the instructor. The gunman who killed one person and wounded two others there at Old Dominion University had previously been in prison for trying to support ISIS. Law enforcement sources identified the gunman in the Old Dominion University shooting. As Mohammed de La Jalloh, a 36 year old former Virginia National Guardsman who pleaded guilty in October 2016 to attempting to provide material support to the terror group ISIS. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison and was released early December 2024, according to the FBI. Jola also was killed. The shooter walked into a class at Constant Hall, which is part of the College of Business at Old Dominion, and asked if it was an ROTC class. A law enforcement source told CBS when some responded that it was the shooter opened fire, fatally injuring the class instructor who was a retired Army officer. Terrible. The shootings are being investigated as a terror related attack. At his 2017 sentencing, Jula claimed he deeply regretted his actions and was disgusted with ASIS. He apologized to the American military and to the people of the United States, according to the transcript. Two shooting victims were taken to a Norfolk hospital and another victim. Took themselves to a hospital in Virginia Beach. Old Dominion Police Chief Garrett Shelton said during a news conference. He didn’t identify the victim who died, but it was the instructor. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said on social media that two of the victims were Army personnel. FBI director Kash Patel credited students and law enforcement with preventing the shooting from becoming a bigger tragedy. He said the shooter is now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and subdued him. Actions that undoubtedly save lives along with the quick response of law enforcement. And the shooting happened hours before a Michigan synagogue was attacked. Norfolk Police Chief Mark Talbot told reporters there wasn’t an ongoing threat to the city on the Virginia coast. Now we have a hero, our ROTC cadet. As reported by the New York Post. A heroic ROTC steward fatally stabbed the crazed ISIS linked gunman who opened fire inside an Old Dominion University classroom. Preventing further carnage. Shooter Muhammad Baylor Le, 36, gunned down an instructor before the unarmed NFA cadet jumped into action. And apparently there were several of them to put an end to the suspect terrorist attack on the Virginia college campus. And they talk about how he was previously convicted. When someone told him it was a trail of blood, he began his trail of bloodshed, which the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism. Not sure what that means. Now, within an hour of the shooting, school officials said there was no longer a threat to the staff. And the instructor, retired military, very, very sad, really terrible. So this is an Islamist who had ties in the past to at least intentions to do what ISIS had had sought to do and served jail time, got out early. We’d like to know what judge did that. And then in about a year and a half later, here he is. Now, as I read other accounts of this, the ROTC cadet had a knife and killed him with the knife. We’ll get more information. We’ll know the accuracy or not of that. But this is an Islamist from Sri Lanka, a naturalized citizen. I don’t understand why he wasn’t naturalized and removed from the country once he served his sentence. And he should have served all of it, obviously. All of it, obviously, in the synagogue. Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, as I understand it, the largest reformed synagogue, they say in the nation. In the nation. The security guard there. Engaged the driver with his gun and. Was also heroic and what he did. Now, I have a lot of thoughts about this. And I’m going to get into this more deeply. We’re going to have to take a short break because that’s what we do. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
All right. Let’s cut to the chase here, America. Number one. Our government has let people into this country. Who seek to destroy us. Open borders, no proper vetting. From parts of the world where there are civil wars, where terrorism. Reigns king. Where regimes are funding terrorism, including in our own country. It’s our government as a whole, but the Democrat Party in specific. There’s simply no getting around it. There are open borders. No deportation ideology. Because they want power and they want one party rule. And they’ll do anything for it. They’ll shut down the Coast Guard if they can. They’ll shut down the TSA, both of which is supposed to protect us, particularly when we’re at war, particularly in heightened situations like this. All their lies and propaganda, their agitprop aside. I’m cutting to the chase. That’s number one. Number two. These phony influences. We’re trying to appeal to the enemy overseas who embrace the enemy overseas. Who trashed Jews and trashed Christians. Who are spreading anti-Semitism, particularly among younger people and particularly among people who are already off their rocker. Who are targeting young Christians, among others. They’re giving aid and comfort to the enemy during the course of this war who are traitors. They are stoking. Violence against Jews in this country, as is the Democrat Party. And big parts of the Democrat Party. Deerfield. Dearborn, rather, Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn, Michigan. That’s where the car to the person they know. It’s where he drove it from. Dearborn, Michigan. I played you clips of the mayor there. I’ve played you clips of imams from their. The leadership in that city. At least the people I hear. Our pushing violence. Flat out violence. And that’s not the only place. If the Marxists, the Islamists and the Woke Reich are IKEA neo-Nazis. United in their effort to destroy this country. To destroy the tolerance. The values that we all hold. And I told you, this thing goes beyond jus. What took place in that ROTC classroom had nothing to do with Jews. Had to do with America. The attack on the synagogue obviously had everything to do with Jews. Everything. There’s simply no ignoring it. There’s no pretending otherwise. Since 2023. The anti-Semitism or Jew hatred. People are tired. I’m tired of hearing anti-Semitism. Okay. Violence against Jews. In this country. Is up 70. Excuse me. The violence they hate. Is focused on Jews, 70% of it. 70% of it. Tiny population. Around the world. It’s just unspeakable what’s taking place. And this is fueled by the Islamists. It’s fueled by the woke right neo fascist. And it is fuelled by the the Labor Party’s, the Liberal parties, the Democrat Party. Then embrace these elements and pretend they don’t, but they do, and bring them into the civilized society with their ideologies, with their hate, with their cultures, who have no intention of assimilating. None. The level of hate. We haven’t seen this in my lifetime, and I want to continue with this. When I return. I’ll be right back.
