Trump Names Fox News’ Mark Levin to Homeland Security Advisory Council

President Trump has selected Mark Levin, a well-known Fox News personality, to join a White House post. Levin will be part of the newly revamped Homeland Security Advisory Council, which will be led by Kristi Noem, the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security. Trump made the announcement on Thursday, revealing that other members of the council include South Carolina Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, conservative commentator Bo Dietl, and Republican National Committee treasurer Joseph Gruters.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump expressed his pride in the formation of the revamped HSAC, highlighting the expertise and respect of the council members in their respective fields. Under Noem’s leadership, the council will focus on developing new policies and strategies to enhance border security, combat illegal immigration, curb the flow of dangerous drugs like Fentanyl, and ultimately make America safer. Trump congratulated all members of the council for their dedication to this important mission.

Levin, in response to Trump’s post, expressed his gratitude and honor at being chosen for this role. Known for his show “Life, Liberty & Levin” on Fox News, Levin delves into the values and principles that shape American society, culture, and politics. He also hosts “The Mark Levin Show,” which is the third-largest nationally syndicated radio program in the U.S. In addition to his media career, Levin has a book titled “The Democrat Party Hates America,” which was published in September 2023.

With a background in the Reagan administration, Levin brings a wealth of experience to his new role in the White House. He has held various positions in government, including chief of staff for Attorney General Ed Meese and roles in the Department of Interior and Department of Education. Levin’s transition from media to government echoes other former Fox personalities who have joined the Trump administration, such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

Overall, Levin’s appointment to the HSAC signifies a commitment to national security and border protection, with his expertise and experience poised to make a significant impact in shaping policies and strategies for a safer America.
