Trump adds Fox News host and Philly native Mark Levin as adviser

Source: Philadelphia Inquirer

Published April 18, 2025, 7:18 a.m. ET


Mark Levin is heading to Washington, at least part of the time. The longtime syndicated talk show host and Fox News personality is joining President Donald Trump’s administration as a member of his new Homeland Security Advisory Council, led by Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem.

“I am proud to announce the formation of my revamped Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), which is comprised Top Experts in their field, who are highly respected by their peers,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social network Thursday evening. “What an honor! Thank you, Mr. President!” Levin wrote back on X. Levin could not be immediately reached for comment.

The Homeland Security Advisory Council was set up in 2002 following the Sept. 11 attacks to provide independent advice and expertise on homeland security operations across the country. Trump said under his administration, the council will focus its efforts on the southern border between the U.S. and Mexico and work to deport immigrants who have entered the country illegally.

Former President Joe Biden fired nearly everyone on the advisory council after he took office in 2021, replacing them with a bipartisan list of national security experts. Among those who served on the council during Biden’s administration include Leon Panetta, the former Defense secretary under President Barack Obama, and Mark Chertoff, former President George W. Bush’s Secretary of Homeland Security.

(in order to discuss with my mom who was a radio listener) where his show was part of the syndicated "2nd tier" RW talkers, along with Savage Wiener (who I am surprised hasn't been brought into HHS by brainworm host since his degree was in "nutrition" IIRC), Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewett, Dennis Prager, etc.
