After hosting America's Number One cable news show two nights running, Mark rounded out the week on America's Number One radio show. Jeff Poor of Breitbart News reports:
Steyn credited Trump's bold stand on immigration for getting him elected but said that presidency would "stand or fall" on how he handles immigration.
"[T]here's a lobby — there's lobbies for everything in this country," Steyn said. "And there's a strong lobby for illegal immigration. There's a strong lobby for refugees, which again is a completely fraudulent operation by and large. Trump won because a significant chunk of people were serious about building a wall, about ending illegal immigration and about doing something about people who walk into this country illegally, stay here illegally, take jobs illegally, get driver's licenses illegally, use Social Security numbers illegally... I would have liked him to hold the inauguration ceremony on the southern border and for it to culminate after the oath of office with him ceremonially laying the first brick in the wall. But in the end, his presidency will stand or fall on how he tackles immigration."
You can hear the audio here - and you can find a few more moments from Friday's broadcast here. Mark will be back with some New Year diversions starting this evening at SteynOnline.
~Members of The Mark Steyn Club are free to lob a brick at Mark's argument in the comments. We launched The Mark Steyn Club earlier this summer, and are immensely heartened by all those SteynOnline supporters across the globe - from Fargo to Fiji, Vancouver to Vanuatu, Surrey to the Solomon Islands - who've signed up to be a part of it. As Mark said at the time, membership isn't for everyone, but it is a way of ensuring that all our content remains available for everyone - all my columns, audio interviews, video content, all our movie features and songs of the week. None of it's going behind a paywall, because we want it out there in the world, being read and being heard and being viewed, and maybe changing an occasional mind somewhere along the way.
That said, we are introducing a few bonuses for our members - not locking up our regular content, which will always be free, but admitting members to a few experimental features, and some other benefits, including:
~Our series of nightly audio adventures, Tales for Our Time, in which Mark reads classic fiction by Conan Doyle, H G Wells and others;
~Exclusive Steyn Store member pricing on over 40 books, mugs, T-shirts, and other products;
~The opportunity to engage in live Clubland Q&A sessions with yours truly;
~Transcript and audio versions of The Mark Steyn Show, SteynPosts, and our other video content;
~My new quarterly newsletter The Clubbable Steyn;
~Our new video series of classic poetry;
~Advance booking for my live appearances around the world;
~Customized email alerts for new content in your areas of interest;
~and the chance to support our print, audio and video ventures as they wing their way around the planet.
