Summary

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. Marco Rubio's State Department has reduced the number of student visas by over 6,000 following an executive order issued in January that mandated a review for potential security risks. This visa enforcement is among the most prominent immigration measures keeping education safe from foreign threats and influences. Also, President Trump declared that he will lead a movement aimed at abolishing mail-in voting and electronic voting machines ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which was very overdue. He announced plans to sign an executive order, and he will succeed in ending the ballot corruption, once and for all. In addition, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This occurred during a phone call between Putin and President Trump right in the middle of a big meeting at the White House with Trump, Zelensky, and top European leaders. Trump told French President Emmanuel Macron, that he thinks Valdimir Putin wants to make a deal with him. Rutte later confirmed that Putin agreed to a meeting with Zelensky, though no confirmation on details yet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
