2/12/26 - Immigration, Funding, and Political Power

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, First Lady Melania Trump calls in to explain how she successfully facilitated the return of Russian and Ukrainian children to their families after they were separated because of the war. She also discusses her new movie – MELANIA, which is in theaters now. Afterward, the Democrats in the House voted against funding key components of the Department of Homeland Security, including FEMA, TSA, the Secret Service, and others, while ICE funding continues through 2027.  Democrats are pushing demands that would severely hamper ICE's ability to identify, apprehend, detain, and deport illegal aliens, while granting increased protections to them. Democrats will orchestrate a propaganda campaign, with media assistance, to blame Republicans for resulting inconveniences to air travelers and disaster victims when they shut down the government. Later, several members of Congress, including Senator Mark Kelly released a video urging military personnel and intelligence community members to defy or turn against the commander-in-chief without justification.  Secretary of War Pete Hegseth took action against Kelly arguing that allowing such actions to go unchecked erodes military discipline and standards. But federal judge Richard Leon for issuing a ruling that blocked the Pentagon's attempt to strip Kelly of his rank and pension, calling the decision contemptible, stupid, and an overreach. Leon should retire or leave the bench now.  Finally, Don Hodel calls in to discuss his new book: Called to Serve: My Path to President Reagan's Cabinet and Beyond.
