On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump is taking decisive action on Russia and has made it clear he’ll do even more if necessary—unlike the weak, inconsistent leadership we've seen from others. His foreign policy is firm and strategic, echoing the strength of President Reagan, and he’s done more to support Ukraine and NATO than President Biden ever dared. While the left-wing media continues to push false narratives and smear his record, the truth is undeniable: Trump has tackled the border crisis, deported dangerous criminals, revived the economy through smart tariffs, and worked to end endless wars. Meanwhile, the left seems more focused on protecting criminals and pushing radical agendas than defending our communities and allies. The American people see through the noise—and that’s exactly why Trump’s support continues to grow. Also, a new study debunks the accusations of Israeli genocide, war crimes, and intentional mass starvation in Gaza during the ongoing conflict. The 311-page report explained that more food entered Gaza post-October 7, 2023, than before, refuting famine claims and explains that shortages are due to Hamas looting. Will any major news organization report on this? Afterward, Ben Shapiro calls in to discuss his new book - Lions and Scavengers: The True Story of America (and Her Critics). Shapiro describes lions as builders, innovators, and risk-takers who take responsibility for fixing problems and strengthening society, often embodying patriotism and optimism. In contrast, scavengers are non-producers who resent lions and seek to destroy societal structures, forming coalitions like Marxists or Islamists seen in campus protests and marches that threaten Western civilization from within. Finally, there’s an internal cancer within the Democrat party which threatens to destroy society, especially evident in Islamists who flee oppressive homelands yet attack American freedoms. Democrats are encouraging this cancer because they think it will lead to power.
