Ten of today's biggest conservative voices are weighing in on everything from Brazil's knife-edge runoff to whether Western civilization can hold itself together. Steven Crowder sits down with Eduardo Bolsonaro live in studio, Megyn Kelly digs into the Markle family's latest scandal, and Mark Levin spends his best-of hour on Qatar's reach into American media. Here's what you missed.
The Ben Shapiro Show — “Meet Graham Platner's Replacement”
Shapiro argues Maine's Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson, who replaced the withdrawn Graham Platner, is unfit for office and that Susan Collins should win the race. Most of the episode is Shapiro's own characterization of Jackson's record.
Says Jackson ran as a Republican (2000), an independent (2002) and a Democrat (2004) and flipped on abortion, same-sex marriage, guns and Israel.
Lists his positions: Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, Supreme Court reform and opposition to voter ID.
Notes Bernie Sanders and AOC back him and that he has Our Revolution and DSA ties.
Cites a 1988 assault charge, a domestic-violence allegation Jackson denies (no legal finding) and a 2021 water-bottle incident the campaign says was not aimed at anyone.
Says the Bangor Daily News found Jackson's claim that Collins gave ICE $70B was about double the real figure.
The Charlie Kirk Show — “How You Can Take the Same Free Courses Charlie Kirk Did”
The host and economist Dr. Charles Steele discuss socialism, dignity, antitrust and AI, with Steele arguing for free markets and pushing back on ‘common good’ conservatism and central planning.
Host says the Democratic Socialists of America platform is Marxist and breeds dependence.
Both agree envy is part of human nature, strongest toward wealth seen as unearned or government-privileged.
Steele says a monopoly means restricting output to raise prices, not simply being big, using SpaceX as an example, and disputes the standard story of Teddy Roosevelt's trust-busting.
Host worries AI will let big firms dominate; Steele likens AI to the Luddites' looms and says it could help small practices.
Louder with Crowder — “The Polls Are Fake! Feat. Eduardo Bolsonaro Live in Studio”
Crowder argues pollsters now shape opinion instead of measuring it and says early-vote data favors Republicans, before sitting down with Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, about Brazil's runoff between his brother Flávio and Lula.
Claims SoCal Strategies, Wedgewood and Median Strategies were exposed as fabricating numbers and went dark.
Argues prediction markets like Kalshi are a better gauge of the midterms than traditional polls.
Says early voting shows Republicans overtaking Democrats and promotes an in-house election-night data operation.
Eduardo Bolsonaro calls Lula anti-America and China-aligned and calls his father's conviction political persecution.
Calls for impeaching Justice Alexandre de Moraes and says Brazil's voting system lacks a paper trail.
The Megyn Kelly Show — “What Meghan Markle Knew About Shock Allegations Against Her Father, & Alex Cooper's Terrible Advice”
Kelly and guest Glenn Greenwald discuss reports that Thomas Markle Sr. is under investigation after allegations from his son, and separately cover the Ilhan Omar name and citizenship questions. The Markle-family claims are unproven and denied by Markle Sr.
Thomas Markle Jr. alleges he found abusive material among his father's belongings; Markle Sr. says the computers were out of his possession for years.
Samantha Markle disputes the claims and points to a family feud.
Meghan Markle's statement says a 2018 letter was shared with her and she was assured it was being investigated; reportedly the Metropolitan Police told outlets they did not investigate him.
Kelly and Greenwald separately question what Meghan and others did after learning of the allegations.
The Michael Knowles Show — “To Catch a Redditor: Chris Hansen REACTS to Wild Posts with Michael Knowles”
Knowles reads Reddit confessions with former Dateline host Chris Hansen of ‘To Catch a Predator’ and rates each on a ‘weirdness’ scale, mixing jokes with serious talk about child safety and prosecuting predators.
An adult befriending kids on Fortnite voice chat: Hansen and Knowles agree it is inappropriate.
A user who feels sorry for a sting target in the U.S. illegally: Knowles says such predators should be prosecuted and deported.
A man who wears women's clothing in private is called weird but not harmful, in their view.
A parent asking about taking two 12-year-olds to a Pride festival draws a strong negative reaction.
The Matt Walsh Show — “The Reason Why Western Civilization is Collapsing”
Walsh comments on the unrest in France and Milan and argues the West is declining because its citizens won't use force against violent mobs, calling for a government crackdown.
Says a passive Western population voted for welfare and mass migration and now responds to riots with shock.
Argues French police are retreating and making few real arrests.
Draws on the Bolsheviks and the Civil War to argue the side most willing to use force tends to win.
Says France could end the riots in a week by suspending some due process and jailing rioters, citing Bukele's comments that France can still renew itself.
Morning Wire — “Leftists Tried To SHUT DOWN Our Movie”
In a ‘Behind the Story’ interview, Tim Rice talks with Ben Shapiro about the Daily Wire film ‘Pawn Shop,’ which Shapiro says leftists tried to shut down in Livingston, Montana. Both speakers work for the Daily Wire, so every claim here is theirs.
‘Pawn Shop’ is about an ICE agent trapped in a pawn shop with a detainee; Shapiro says it is not anti-ICE.
Shapiro alleges the crew were threatened and intimidated, and that the Livingston council suspended filming permits without notice.
A commissioner is quoted calling the film not a ‘Hallmark film,’ and residents objected to simulated violence.
Shapiro claims the Daily Wire is vertically integrated and spends far less than rivals, and notes ‘Confession,’ a film he co-wrote about the 1938 Stalin purges, was rejected by Venice and accepted by Warsaw.
The Andrew Klavan Show — “Ep. 1301 - The Halloween Syndrome”
Klavan argues harmless-seeming indulgences like trick-or-treating, horror films and pornography can slide toward moral decay without restraint, and blames the left for riots in France, Spain and Portugal.
Central idea is the ‘Halloween syndrome’: harmless indulgences can slide into violence or demonic influence.
Discusses backlash to Allie Beth Stuckey's comments on Christians and horror; defends her but disagrees.
Blames the left, high taxes and debt for the European riots and criticizes New York Times coverage of them.
Praises Trump's China and Iran strategy and urges spending and welfare cuts.
The Glenn Beck Program — “The Man Who Can Predict the Future”
Beck interviews ‘Roy,’ author of The Pendulum, who argues history swings in roughly 20-year cycles toward individualism and back toward collective effort. The model and its dates are the guest's own framework, not established history.
Says the current ‘We’ phase peaked around 2023, with an inflection around 2033 and the ‘fever breaking’ around 2043.
Compares past cycles: the 1930s, the Civil War era, the Constitution era and the French Revolution.
Reads literature and music as signals of a society's mood, citing 1953 as foreshadowing the 1960s.
Predicts a ‘prosecutor’ figure will emerge from either side; this is his own forecast.
Mark Levin Podcast — “The Best Of Mark Levin - 10/24/26”
A compilation of Levin's radio monologues with no callers or guests. He pushes early voting, attacks Democrats and Qatar's influence, and calls for a harder line on Islamist activity and Iran. His claims are largely opinion.
Urges early and election-day voting and plays clips of Harry Enten and Steve Kornacki saying polls have underestimated Republicans.
Calls for removing imams who advocate violent overthrow and denaturalizing naturalized citizens who do so.
Cites a Washington Free Beacon report that CNN edited Qatar descriptions on an event agenda, and alleges Qatar buys influence.
Accuses Abdul El-Sayed of Muslim Brotherhood ties; El-Sayed denies being disloyal to the Constitution.
