On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, a jihadi anti-Semetic terrorist got into our country through a travel visa despite being under surveillance and took hostages at a Texas synagogue. The radical Islamist demanded the release of “Lady Al Quaeda” Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani prisoner being held in a nearby federal prison. Interestingly, the FBI’s initial response claimed that the attack was not an anti-semitic in nature, although they amended that narrative soon after. The reckless immigration policies of the Biden Administration put Americans in danger. Then, CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) attacks the talk radio industry but defended and advocated for the release of Aafia Siddiqui. CAIR has enormous influence with members of Congress, the FBI, and the DOJ. Later, Direct TV, a subsidiary of AT&T like CNN, is removing One America News from their service. We should be encouraged to choose how to spend our money and speak out against this type of censorship, not support it. Afterward, Democrats aim to destroy the voting system and they’re doing it in the name of Martin Luther King Jr. Democrats are destroying the supply chain and creating shortages. Now they’re destroying the criminal justice system with their American Marxist views.

Rough transcript of Hour 1

Hour 1 Segment 1

Joe Biden today invokes Martin Luther King in his continuing effort to destroy our voting system. And this is part of the problem we’ve allowed the Democrats. To project their narrative onto the country, that was my monologue last night on Life, Liberty and Levin. So destroying the voting system is something Martin Luther King would have supported, you see. More on that later. I don’t know what’s been said today by others, but doesn’t much matter, I, I want to discuss with you what took place at this Texas Reform Synagogue. What took place was a jihadi got into our country somehow, which I want to talk about. Got a tourist visa into our country, despite the fact that this jihadi was part of a group under U.S. surveillance, under British surveillance. And was a well known antisemite. That is a Jew hater. When you do not have a serious immigration system, when you do not. Vet people properly, whether it’s tourist visas or whether they’re pouring over the border. This is what happens. God knows. Who among the two million illegal aliens now in our country? Jihadis are MS 13 or. Sexual predators and on and on and on. Were you able to catch a tiny percentage of them, given how outnumbered are brave men and women of the Border Patrol and ICE are? But the policies of this administration. Invite certainly contribute to the endangerment of the people in this country. Even from a legal perspective, if you allow people to come in here legally and they do not have an allegiance to this country. Or if they come from war torn parts of the world. They come from parts of the world. Where there is enormous amount of hate. For religious groups or individuals. That type of thinking, that type of education, indoctrination. Is also brought into our country. And the consequences can be deadly. Absolutely deadly. As pointed out in Fox. And elsewhere. This individual. Malik Faisal is a British national. He took four Jewish individuals in a synagogue hostage, including the rabbi. Now, luckily, the strange way, it was a reformed synagogue, not an Orthodox synagogue, was Shabbat. When an Orthodox synagogue would have had an enormous number. Of their membership present. Not so much in a reform synagogue, quite frankly, but this was the synagogue closest. To the federal prison. Which was holding a convicted jihadist terrorist. Now. He was identified by the FBI, Abrahim was. As the individual who stormed into the congregation, Beth Israel and Colleyville, near Fort Worth, Texas, the standoff lasted approximately 12 hours. And he demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui, who. Aafia Siddiqui was a Palestinian woman. In prison in Texas on charges of trying to kill American service members in Afghanistan, 86 year prison sentence. After being convicted in 2008 incident in Manhattan in 2010. In 2010. So you have a jihadist who comes to the United States a few weeks ago for the specific purpose of taking hostages clearly at a synagogue. He didn’t pick some other place he went to where he figured the Jews were. And. Was threatening to kill them unless they convicted jihadi. Who attempted to kill American service people in Afghanistan was released. Now, Matt Disano is the FBI special agent in charge there, probably not much longer. And it was the strangest thing I’ve ever heard. He went out of his way to say this was not about anti-Semitism. The jihadi comes to the United States from Britain, he’s on our watch list, he’s on them the Brits watch list. He’s known as a rabid Jew hater. He comes to the United States to get Lady al-Qaida is her nickname released. If she’s convicted for trying to kill American service people. And he’s in a synagogue. He’s taken hostages, including a rabbi. But that’s all coincidental. Matt Disano, cut to Mr. Peterson, go, we we do believe from our engaging with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community. But we’re continuing to work to find motive and we will continue on that path in terms of the resolution of the incident. The hostage taker is deceased. Mm hmm. This is bizarre beyond belief. Bizarre beyond belief, but in some ways it’s actually understandable. Now, how can that be? In some ways, it’s actually understandable. Robert Spencer, head of Jihad Watch, a fantastic individual, I do not know him, certainly not well. He writes of PJ Media Clueless WOAK. FBI downplays anti-Semitic aspect of hostage taking a Texas synagogue, the jihadi who stormed the congregation, Beth Israel and Colleyville, Texas, and took hostages Saturday demanding the release of convicted jihadi terrorist Aafia Siddiqui is dead and the hostages are safe. And now comes the real work, whitewashing, downplaying and ignoring outright what took place because it doesn’t fit the establishment narrative. I just played for you with Special Agent in Charge Matt Disano said. His bizarre statement is based on the fact that the demands of the hostage taker made all revolved around Aafia Siddiqui, a.k.a. Lady al-Qaida, who’s serving 86 years in prison for plotting a large scale jihadi massacre in New York City. The hostage taker reportedly demanded that his sister, quote unquote, be free, which led to widespread speculation he was, in fact, a fire Sudeikis brother. At this point, however, although they have not released his name, officials have announced he’s no relation to her. While we now know who he is by sister, he met sister in terrorism. Not biological system candidate Tom, winner of NBC News, this is again. Pre rescue and release of the hostages, the hostage taker even had the rabbi of congregation Beth Israel, Charlie Cetron Walker, whom he was holding hostage, call another rabbi in New York City, quote, The purpose of the call was to again demand the release of a five sadiqi, the New York City based rabbi, called 911 one. And the NYPD is well aware of the incident, tweeted Winner. So let’s get this straight. A man enters a synagogue and takes hostages and warns that if anyone gets too close, people will die. He demands the release of an al-Qaida terrorist. The FBI then asserts that his actions were not specifically related to the Jewish community, apparently because he was talking about Aafia Siddiqui and at least not reportedly railing against Jews in Israel. So why exactly did all this occur in a synagogue? He had the whole wide green world in which to take hostages. Why did he choose congregation Beth Israel of Colleyville, Texas, once he had taken his hostages? Why did he leave one rabbi call another rabbi in order to demand Lady al-Qaida’s release? What this congregation, Beth Israel, have to do with Aafia Siddiqui? What does its rabbi, the rabbi whom the hostage taker had him contact in New York, have to do with it? Well, the answer to both questions is nothing whatsoever. A hostage taker chose the synagogue over any other possible target because of the widespread belief in the Islamic world. That the Jews control the world through various surreptitious means, as Jordanian Professor Ahmad Nofollow articulated last April, rallying against, quote, Zionist notions, unquote, and Jewish notions, he said it is forbidden to say Jewish nowadays. Forbidden, fine. Whatever we’ll say, Zionists, it’s the same thing. See how they rule the world. They even monitor what words you use. What kind of powers this he one point seven million Muslims. There’s nothing to it. But you dare to say one word against the Jews. They cancel you. He was not singular. In a Friday sermon in twenty sixteen at the Myat Mosque in Damascus, Sheikh Mohammed, Mama Grandma declared, Are you aware of Muslims and Arabs that global Jewry holds the political reigns in the world? Superpowers. The entire world knows that the Jews control the sources of this, that and the rest of it. Sounds a lot like Omar, doesn’t he, Mr. Producer? Yes, he does, the global news agencies are really in the hands of Zionists, they’re doing a remarkably poor job in telling Israel’s side of the story. But never mind. The jihad, he chose the synagogue because he clearly believed that the Jews and perhaps only Jews had the power to secure a fair Sudeikis release. He says. That’s one view, one very rational view. And then Matt Vosper. Over at town hall, why the media is about to run away from the Texas synagogue hostage story. And of course, he’s right, but why? The FBI can’t say what the motive was regarding this attack. Now they’ve they reversed course. Completely, they reversed course completely. But there’s something. Something quite rancid at the FBI, at the Department of Justice, in the Democrat Party spreading throughout the country. You remember what happened? When Hamas was shooting missiles into Israel and Israel was shooting back. Defending its citizens and its population centers, remember the people who poured into the streets attacking the Jews in New York and in L.A.? Driving around in trucks with Palestinian flags, you remember that? This is the same FBI who said that the 2017 GOP congressional baseball shooting by a violent and dedicated leftist and I will add Bernie Sanders supporter was not politically motivated. It’s a clown show, but one that will soon pick up shop. The name of the shooter has been revealed, and it’s not in keeping with the liberal media narrative. It’s not a major supporter. It’s not a white nationalists. I know liberals were hoping it would be a white guy, he writes. Now, I want to talk about this in a moment, we’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 2

I hope you’ll keep listening, because the final thing I’m going to mention. Or in this particular broadcast about what took place, I think is well, it needs to be underscored and I think will surprise many of you. Well, surprise many of you. Now, first of all, this guy was part of a group in Britain. The British police immediately to arrest two teenagers allegedly connected to the hostage taking. It’s part of the ongoing investigation. They were detained in South Manchester. They’re being questioned. The fact is that this jihadi was known. To our law enforcement and untold federal law enforcement intelligence agencies and known to the British, so how did he get a visa to enter the United States? Ali Akram, the hostage taker, now dead as a doorknob 44, flew into the U.S. on January two with a tourist visa and 15 in the U.K. has confirmed he was known to them but wasn’t considered an immediate risk. The FBI has not commented on whether or not he was known to U.S. authorities. While he was. There was silence from D.C. in the White House on how he bypassed the checks. I would say, ladies and gentlemen, we need answers and I’m sure the journalists will be all over it, and I say that sarcastically because they won’t. They won’t in fact, one journalist, so-called, immediately said, now here comes the attack on Muslims. First of all, Americans aren’t attacking Muslims, Muslims are attacking Muslims. And I’m sick and tired of Americans being talked about this way and treated this way, utterly disgusted by it. We are a wonderful people, a beneficent people. We’ve lost a lot of Americans. Defending Muslims from Muslims, we have a lot of Muslim friends and allies who get it. I’m sick and tired of these white racists, these white hate American types and radicals, some of whom are Muslim and some of whom were not trashing this country. But when we want to when we come back, I want to know why has this group care in Texas been defending Lady al-Qaida? That’s right. You heard me. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 3

Council on American Islamic Relations. Many years ago. When I came on radio, this organization was threatening. Conservative talk show hosts with boycotts complaining to their executives at the various stations about individuals who would criticize the organization, and they were painting such individuals as anti-Muslim as bigots. And they were doing it on W.M. here. Among other places, and I came on the air and I said, I’m not putting up with this. So many words that if there’s an effort by this group or its surrogates to remove me from the radio. I will sue them. Not just for libel. But tortious interference. With my contract and my business and I have access to all their materials. Because that’s the nature of civil litigation, I have access to all their top people, all their top donors, and I will find out what’s going on with this organization. And so it began to stop. I’ve often talked about the history of this organization, at least in the past, that it was born in Philadelphia. From individuals. With links to Hamas. And ultimately, the mother, Muslim Brotherhood in the 1990s. And it is an organization that has tremendous access to the highest levels of the Democrat Party during the Obama administration. It visited the White House. It’s and it’s a different representatives did, as did the Muslim Brotherhood many occasions. Carrots had an enormous influence on training and teaching at the FBI and the Department of Justice, among other places. CARE has been hosting events to free the convicted terrorist, Aafia Siddiqui. For example, on September 17, 2021, Keres, Dallas Fort Worth chapter held a rally at the Federal Medical Center Carswell in support of a fee of SADIQI. November 10, 2021, Care in Austin had a virtual event with Linda Sarsour. And December 16, 2021, Care Texas held another event at the. East Plano Islamic Center, including beyond this terrorist, but with antisemite. That’s just a sample of events in Texas care. You can Google them yourselves, but Texas Care has been engaged in a nationwide campaign from Washington to Boston to New York. With the BILI law firm that is representing Afia Seddiqui, the convicted terrorist. Meanwhile, Keres, San Francisco executive director, a few months ago speaking at the American Muslims for Palestine. Expressed her support for destroying Israel, called the ADL, Hillel and other Jewish organizations enemies and went after Kornet cosiness synagogues. Kerry yesterday condemned what had taken place at the synagogue seems pretty hollow, doesn’t it? There’s a long history. As supporting anti-Semitism. And quite frankly, violent, in my view, violent organizations and causes. CNN interviewed a member of the synagogue who was watching the Shabbat services on the livestream and said the hostage taker was expressing anti-Semitism towards Jews in Israel. And said that he flew 5,000 miles to the US. To pick a synagogue because of its close proximity to DFW airport, and yet the FBI refused to say it was not connected initially. Motivated by Jew hatred. Willful blindness. Absolutely willful blindness, and it’s going on and it’s spreading. The Democrat Party. Which is the party of 70 percent more of the Jewish people in this country whose majority leader in the Senate is Jewish, among others, tolerates talibe Omar. AOC and others. The Marxists have always hated Jews. Tolerates them. Protects them, defends them. Pelosi hasn’t removed any of them from any committees. And when there was an effort to condemn Omar. For her blatantly anti-Semitic statements. When there was an effort to condemn her, they watered it down, they didn’t mention her name, they talked about. All faiths and people should not have to face derogatory attacks. So they never did. Sanction her, call her out. Anything of the kind talibe has made many anti-Semitic statements, parents are Palestinian, they immigrated to the United States, she was born here and she was embraced openly, publicly on the tarmac some months ago by Joe Biden. By Joe Biden. So how did this would be killer of Jews? Get a visa. And where are the media asking these questions? We’ve got The Daily Mail. Where is The Daily News? Washington Post, The New York Times, where are they, where CBS Nightly News or NBC Nightly News or ABC? News or all the rest of them. Where are they? Open borders. Refusal to enforce the law. Incompetence. And quite frankly. Embracing organizations like care leads to disastrous effects in this country. Disastrous. But I note here a headline at Breitbart, New York Times warns of right wing threat to democracy, calls to war, game insurgency, secession and civil war. The U.S. may be on the verge of collapse due to right wing threats on democracy, according to a recent New York Times piece, they called to intensify war games, quote unquote, for scenarios concerning the 2024 presidential election, such as in Syria, I’m quoting insurrection, secession, insurgency and civil war, unquote, in order to avoid a, quote, political decay of the country. The New York Times contributes to political decay of this country. And has for a very, very long time, and not just this country. Other countries. Hey, Thursday, New York Times, that’s a title we need to think the unthinkable about our country begins by deeming the US perhaps even more alarmingly fractious and divided one year after the January six capital riot. Regrettably, the right has sustained its support for former President Donald Trump and continued its assault on American democratic norms. So here you have The New York Times planting the seeds of violence, basically telling radical left groups Black Lives Matter and Tifa and other. American Marxist groups. Prepare for violence now, when you prepare for violence, I guess you prepare to be violent, right? Preparing for war games and tabletop exercises and operations research, the essay was penned by Jonathan Stevenson, a former National Security Council staff from the Obama administration, and Steven Simon, a former staffer from the State Department on National. Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Obama, in other words, a bureaucrat speculating that the next presidential election will almost inevitably be vicious, perhaps violently contested, they warn of a politically existential threat to the country due to right wing preparations for a potential 2024 power grab. Really quite remarkable. All the violence that’s occurred in this country the last few years. And how the media and The New York Times, The Washington Post, former officials in our government have dismissed it all. Now we have this event at this synagogue. And the goal here now is to dumb it down, dumb it down 40 percent of the hate crimes, according to the FBI, that taking place in this country against Jews. Jews are a tiny percentage of the population. Well, who’s committing these hate crimes? Evangelical Christians now who’s committing them? Well, The New York Times did a story on that. Well, the FBI tell us who’s committing these hate crimes against Jews. Who are they? Who’s committing the hate crimes in Brooklyn, New York? Who are they? Who committed the hate crimes in L.A. during the riots against the synagogues? Who are they? I’m just curious, who are they? Nikki Friede is the agricultural commissioner in Florida. She’s a radical leftist. And in a radio interview on Friday, she drew parallels between Rhonda Santurce and Adolph Hitler. She’s being interviewed on NPR’s. Florida round up called the Santurce Authoritarian before advancing to the comparison between the Florida governor and the leader of the Nazi Party. Writes, I believe Agee can Karski, instead of listening and trying to govern with the people, he’s trying to govern over the people on that I’m sorry, I’m a student of history, too. I saw the rise of Hitler. I learned those stories, Friede said when asked if she was comparing to Santurce to Hitler. Freed stood her ground in a lot of ways, yes, she told interviewer Melissa Ross. I’ve studied Hitler and how I got to power running his own militia, having his own army. They use this name Hitler all the time to describe Trump, the scientists, you mean white supremacists, neo-Nazis? Not just against white supremacists and neo-Nazis, but against everybody. This vile. Provocative propaganda. Can also be found in the media and in the Democrat Party if you don’t support the effort to forever empower the Democrat Party for one party rule, as they have in California. Then you support voter suppression, suppression and election subversion, that was Biden today. Harris, today, our freedom to vote is under assault. If you don’t pass the voting rights bill to honor Martin Luther King. Clyburn on ABC’s This Week mansion in cinema decided that voting rights of the Senate minority are more important than a minority rights in this great country. Pelosi, we dishonor Martin Luther King to use the filibuster and block this bill. We dishonor him, Ralph Warnock on The View today, Republicans, anti-American, trying to turn democracy on its head. Representative Makima Williams can’t let the 50 Republican senators off the hook, this is our civil rights movement. Ellie Mistal on MSNBC today, mansion and cinema are the type of white people Martin Luther King warned us about. Tiffany Cross on MSNBC Saturday, Kersten’s cinemas, quote, upholding white supremacy, unquote. And these media outlets. And these these poisonous statements contribute mightily. That the downfall of this great country, I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 4

Get a ton more to get to stick with us. I want to delve into a number of things as we go along today, and there’s a lot to delve into what I’ve been talking about this hour. I think is relevant to all of us, it’s relevant to our country, relevant to our belief system, our values and our morals. And when you get away from that. What do you have? What do you have? When you get away from that, what do you have? Well, your Marxism. You have a Democrat Party that embraces. I don’t know, but I would ask you, those of you who are listening to radio and TV during the course of the day, how many broadcasters have brought up Keres efforts on behalf of lady al Qaeda? Maybe some have. How many have? I want to give a salute. To Fox and Friends Sunday. Because when this news broke. The night before the evening before about this synagogue and the FBI said what it said, every one of those hosts. Now, obviously, Peter Haig says my closest friend among them, but they’re all wonderful people. Every one of those hosts denounced what the FBI was trying to do. Denounced. And let me make it so simple that even Media Matters can understand because they give aid and comfort to these these radical leftists, not killers, but radical leftists, a jihadi wanted to kill Jews.
