Fox News host Mark Levin unleashed a scathing rebuke of the radical fusion of Marxism and Islamists that he says are out to "destroy" America, accusing Hamas sympathizers of infiltrating multiple corners of society and fueling the antisemitic hatred that prompted the murders of two Israeli embassy staffers late Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
"They're marching through the streets like no Nazis ever have, like no Klansmen ever have in our country, calling for the destruction of the United States of America, the overthrow of the West, burning the American flag, chasing Jewish students on college campuses, threatening elderly Jews who hold signs on the streets peacefully, attacking our synagogues…" the "Life, Liberty and Levin" host said Thursday on "Fox & Friends."
Levin warned that America is not merely at risk. Rather, it is already at siege from within and the institutions too paralyzed or altogether unwilling to facilitate change – Congress, the courts and even the previous presidential administration – have created an easy opening that allows what he bluntly called the "enemy" to thrive.

He placed much of the blame on open border policies and weak national resolve, accusing adversarial nations – namely Qatar and China – of internally fueling an anti-Western sentiment that has reared its head at U.S. colleges and universities in displays of antisemitism and anti-Israel protests in recent years.
The rise of such ideology, empowered by weakness in the West is also enabling a modern-day "Kristallnacht" in the U.S. and in Europe, he said, referencing the infamous 1938 Nazi-led attack on Jewish homes, synagogues, and businesses in Germany also known as the "Night of Broken Glass."

"Jews are not safe in every capital in Europe, and now they're not safe in our capital…" he cautioned.
"We need to learn and see what's taking place. This isn't about free speech… This is being funded by Qatar and other countries… There are more Islamist front groups in this country, terrorist front groups in this country, [and] they multiply like rabbits."
Levin credited the Trump administration for doing "yeoman's work" to curb the threat, unlike the Biden administration, which he argued directly jeopardized national security and the integrity of Western ideals by failing to vet illegal immigrants while embracing open borders.
"Is this what we want? Is this who we are? Because the ruling class is letting us down. Seal the damn borders, which is what President Trump is doing. Stop every damn penny coming into this country from these terrorist states. I don't care if they put smiles on their faces and hold seminars or whatever the hell they're doing. They're the enemy."
A witness to the shooting described on "Fox & Friends" that the gunman shouted "Free Palestine!" as he was being taken into custody by police.

World leaders react after Trump says U.S. has bombed 3 nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo
World leaders reacted to President Donald Trump's announcement Saturday that the U.S. had carried out a "very successful attack" on three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordo."This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR," Trump posted on Truth Social. Here's how world leaders reacted after the attack. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "Trump's bold decision will change history. Speaking minutes after the attack, Netanyahu said, "President Trump and I often say: 'Peace through strength.' First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, Donald Trump and the United States acted with a lot of strength," Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Saturday warned that the U.S. strikes on Iran represent a dangerous escalation in an already volatile region, posing a serious threat to global peace and security. "There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world," Guterres said in a statement as reported by Reuters. "At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos. There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace," he said. Reactions across the globe are slowly coming in as leaders weigh the impact of the attack. According to Reuters, South Korea's presidential office is set to host an emergency meeting to discuss the attack.

Illinois lawmakers respond to Trump announcing U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities
Illinois lawmakers from both sides of the aisle on Saturday responded to President Trump's announcement that the U.S. has launched strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities. Democrats condemned the president for attacking Iran without seeking congressional authorization, while Republicans supported the strikes. President Trump announced Saturday night that the strikes on Iranian nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan were a "spectacular military success," and warned of "far greater" attacks if Iran does not "make peace." Democratic Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly said in a post on X that, "President Trump's decision to bomb Iran will not lead to peace but rather cause more violence, destruction, and conflict in the Middle East." "Iran can never be allowed nuclear weapons, but it was President Trump's decision to break the Iran Nuclear Deal that allowed Iran to speed up their enrichment program, making us and our allies less safe. Instead of using diplomacy to lower temperatures, President Trump has escalated the situation, which will further destabilize the region and cause repercussions here at home and across the globe," Kelly wrote. Democratic Rep. Sean Casten called the president's decision to attack Iranian nuclear sites without approval of Congress an "unambiguous impeachable offense." "This is not about the merits of Iran's nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress," Casten wrote in a post on X. Democratic Rep. Chuy Garcia said, "Trump is trying to drag us into an illegal war with Iran– no debate, no Congressional vote," "He's not leading– he's submitting to Netanyahu's request. There is no military solution to nuclear deterrence," Garcia wrote on X. Republican Illinois Congressman Mike Bost defended the president's actions in a post on X. "I trust that President Trump made the decision to target Iran's nuclear program tonight due to intelligence that indicates the regime was within reach of developing nuclear weapons that could threaten the lives of American citizens and U.S. troops stationed across the globe. He showed the strength to ensure that never happens," Bost wrote. Fellow GOP Rep. Mary Miller called the strikes "A great victory for the United States!" "President Trump understands that PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH keeps America, and the world, safe and secure," she wrote on X. Iran has pledged to retaliate if the U.S. joined the Israel's recent attacks against its nuclear facilities, which began with airstrikes on June 13. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks on Israeli cities.

How a Papa Johns pizza surge near the Pentagon tipped off social media before Trump's decisive Iran strike
The Pentagon Pizza Report, a social media account that claimed to have accurately predicted Israel's initial June 12 military strikes on Iran, posted that local pizza traffic near the Pentagon was "HIGH" within an hour of the U.S. launching attacks against Iranian nuclear sites Saturday night. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social the U.S. military completed an attack on three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. "A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow," the president wrote in the post. "Thank you for your attention to this matter." Less than an hour before the announcement, the account said "HIGH activity is being reported at the closest Papa Johns to the Pentagon." Account administrators added Freddie's Beach Bar, a restaurant and bar near the Pentagon that has also been previously used as an indicator of impending military action, was reporting abnormally low activity levels for a Saturday night. "Classic indicator for potential overtime at the Pentagon," the account wrote. Following the president's announcement on Truth Social, the account posted a simple, "Thank you for your attention to this matter," echoing the wording in Trump's post. About half an hour before Trump's address to the nation, the pizza account noted there was a "HUGE traffic surge" at the Domino's closest to MacDill Air Force Base, home of CENTCOM, as of about 9:36 p.m. eastern time. During the address, the president warned Iranian officials future attacks would come, if they did not "make peace."
