Hi Mark,
I suppose by air time they will be more information about detainees at an ICE facility in Texas being shot. As portrayed by the media this makes no sense. Why would someone want to kill illegal immigrants who are detained? They are in custody for gosh sakes and hopefully on their way to deportation or jail. Hopefully you will be share your insights.

Greetings Mark,
I know some very non-political women who attended a Charlie Kirk vigil last week. What was supposed to be a few hundred people turned into a few thousand. From where I'm sitting I can see that something fundamental has changed in the zeitgeist. From your far more lofty perch, do you also detect a sea change, and if so what does it mean?
Best,
Peter

Mark,
I hope you are well.
The funeral service for Charlie Kirk has resulted in over 120,000 applications for new Turning Point USA chapters.
What a fantastic testimony to an incredible human being that there will essentially be a chapter in every High School and College throughout the US.
With over 100,000 people attending the service and millions more watching online, it was a fitting send off.
An ageing curmudgeon like me is rarely moved but I found the service uplifting and inspiring, not least in reinstating Christendom at the heart of US politics.
We in the UK can only look on in awe, given we are now 9 months without an Archbishop of Canterbury.
Do you think we will see a revival of Christian Nationalism and small c conservatism in the rest of the developed world or is that a pipe dream?
Keep well Mark.

With Trump's new position on the Ukrainian situation, attacks on Venezuelan boats and talk of regime change there, and other things, it seems like full on war is getting closer and closer every week. So I am interested in your thoughts on why anyone would join the military nowadays. For patriotic reasons? Half the country hates patriots and the country they believe in. Financial reasons? The impending economic collapse might make a military job seem secure, until the drones come swarming in. What other reasons might there be?

Hi Mark,
Long time club member, even longer time fan, but first time questioner... and it's a happy fluffy softball question because despite the encouraging examples of Unite the Kingdom and thousands of new inquiries for Turning Point USA chapters recently, I find myself absolutely heart-sick over the state of the West and in no mood to ask a "your thoughts?" question, since I already know them.
You mentioned when you first announced the upcoming cruise that you have fond memories of Sept-Iles. I happen to have been born there, but was whisked away before being old enough to form any memories of it. I would love to hear some of your memories, if you are willing to share.
PS I also feel compelled, before either of us shuffles of this mortal coil, to express my eternal gratitude to you for your tireless work for the Good. I love you, man. Thanks for everything you do, even that damned cat album.

Hi Mark. So pleased you are able to take questions today. I, for one, am not interested in who is two points up in Iowa, but would love to hear about your entrance into the musical world. Your interviews and snippets from your Saturday serenade radio show are fascinating and I am always astounded that this obviously was your begining when all I knew was from your hosting for Rush. Could you go into a little more detail about those years?

Mark, One of the most consequential events of this busy month was the publication by Dr. Professor Vice Provost Michael E. Mann of his latest book: "Science Under Siege." In the final paragraph—which he made available online recently—he notes that he has chosen "to do battle against the forces of darkness, fighting back against a malevolent movement that represents all that is bad in the world." I have reserved a copy at the local library. With all these "battle" and "forces of darkness" references, do you think there is any chance that Dr. Professor Mann, PhD., will provide readers details on how Mann confronted a sinister force—who might well have been the Devil himself—in Aisle 9 of his local Wegmans supermarket?

Greetings Mark- hope you are well today as I can't wait to hear what you have to say about President Trump's tour de force at the UN.
I think it will probably go down as one of the greatest and most important speeches of all time, certainly his best ever.
Meanwhile, on the ground in NY City and vicinity, we are getting hit hard by both unbridled immigration and the climate scam. The Hamas Commie Mamdani who looks to be the next mayor of the once fair city- is a Ugandan Muslim. And the NY State wanker politicians are moving full steam ahead with their vision for NY Net Zero.
In his speech, President Trump more or less said to the NATO folks- hold on, we're coming.
Do you think that Nueva York and others similarly situated can wait that long?

Mr. Steyn,
Don't you think that the British public should be worried about the Starmer government's pending "anti-Islamophobia" legislation? It's strange that it feels the need to arbitrarily pander to a random group. From what I've heard the nuttiness includes equating "Islamophobia" with racism, even though Islam is clearly not a race. Also included is a provision to combat actions against "manifestations of Islamness". What? I don't think that Moslems themselves are going end up liking or feeling safe with that one. Does mean that a felon can claim immunity from a crime just claiming it to be in the name of religious practice?

Mark,
Any thoughts on the long-term stability of Israel's position in the world? The talking heads remain focused on their successes in Gaza. But with every country on the globe save the United States lining up to "recognize" a Palestinian state that doesn't exist, it seems to me the Israelis are one bad election in the US away from being labeled a "rogue state" and sanctioned into oblivion.
Just from a practical perspective, would any future Democrat administration even agree to sell them weapons and supplies? On the whole, their situation seems tenuous at best and dire at worst.

Dear Mark,
Some years ago, I remember reading about "the coming turbulence" in Germany. (Maybe you wrote it?) The point being made was that the migrants who were paying taxes, and were seeing their money go towards the natives currently in retirement, would eventually realize that none of their ilk were currently retired and they would revolt. Does this sound familiar? Any thoughts on the theory?

Dear Mark:
Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but here in the United States and in several European countries it seems that the average citizen has had enough of leftist policies. Large street demonstrations like the recent one in the U.K and the turnout at the Charlie Kirk memorial suggest that a significant movement to the right is taking place, and that young people are at the forefront.
I don't expect that the leftist establishment will go down without a fight, but it seems that they have lost most of their credibility. How far do you think they are willing to go to maintain their power, and will the result be different here in America than in Europe?
Take good care and I hope you find solace while dreaming of the French nurses.

Next time that Mark Steyn stops by to tell us about the music on Saturday, ask him about his book America Alone, it's making for fantastic listening as well! Too bad he didn't write it a couple decades ago...oh wait. Too bad he didn't tell important people about it...oh wait.
Too bad the evil elites ignored him.

Mark, you have said that real change is no longer possible through existing political structures. I agree, but is not there an alternative to bloody insurrection?
For example, say a Reform government were elected in the UK on a radical agenda of mass deportations (they are edging closer to this every day). There would be no way the civil service, judges, lawyers, police, quangos etc would let them enact this. Putting aside your personal animosity towards him, what if Nigel were then to call another election, one in which he asked for emergency powers to enact policy, as per Trump's executive orders, and override blockages, as in wartime, Could this work?
