Mark Levin Podcast

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, Briand Mudd of WJNO fills in for Mark. The confirmation process of Bill Barr shows just how far left the Democrat party has moved in just a few decades. When Barr was confirmed under George HW Bush he was cleared unanimously, but now as President Trump’s nominee he barely cleared on a party line vote. 20 years ago, Nancy Pelosi was considered a radical leftist among her Democrat colleague, but today she’s the norm. The Democrats keep moving the goalposts further left, paving the way for more radical ideas and giving oxygen to people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Also, there’s no element of right and wrong with the left when it comes to their own, which is what we’re seeing in Virginia with the numerous scandals emerging. The biggest scandal of all is the denial of the science of life. The leftist argument is always if you don’t believe in science you’re a science denier, but it’s the opposite case when it comes to abortions. Finally, Trump didn’t run on the border wall issue because it’s some kooky idea; it’s something people have wanted for decades but the lies of the left and the media will try to make you think otherwise. The border patrol doesn’t care about politics, they care about the safety of this country. They’re on the front lines every day, so if they say we need a wall we need a wall.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Rich Zeoli from WPHT fills in. The green new deal is a progressive prescription for utopianism. This weird marriage of climate change and social justice is a blue print that will cost us everything we have. The left loves this concept of economic justice, but it doesn't mean opportunity to earn, it means that the government will guarantee that all people earn the same amount of income. Then, media icon, Sam Donaldson, admitted that the U.S is already a socialist country and that socialism will make us a better country. At least he's not hiding it. The elitism of leftists in the media is exactly what will re-elect President Trump. Later, #MeToo seems to only apply if you're not a Democrat since the media is giving a pass to the accused Lt Governor of Virginia Justin Fairfax. Later, Democrats once had pro-life politicians in their party. But they've gone so far to the left that the debate isn't over to abort or not, it’s over whether it’s when the baby is in the womb in the ninth month or after the child is born.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump's State of the Union was excellent! Now we know why Nancy Pelosi didn't want him to do it! The liberals are going mad over it; he slammed socialism, he took on late term abortion, and re-stated the case for the border. Despite the historic improvement in unemployment, the liberal Democrats just sat on their hands. While, many in the media fawned over President Obama's SOTU speeches, they stopped short of offering President Trump similar praise. Instead they took exception to his speech tossing critiques like “psychotically incoherent speech" and other derogatory comments. Trump kept the focus on keeping America and her security first, unlike the left. Which begs the question: what exactly about America do they love at CNN, at MSNBC, in the Democratic Party? Then, leftists continue their false argument that all immigrants are good for America; but the argument is over legal versus illegal immigrants coming into the country. Also, capitalism is not a system, it’s the free flow of commerce; to suggest otherwise is simply wrong. Companies are business to make a profit and from those gains they can create jobs for society. Later, the leadership crisis in Virginia continues as the embattled Governor Northam refuses to resign, the Lt. Governor Fairfax fends off sexual abuse allegations, and now their Attorney General Mark Herring, the third in the line of succession for the Governorship, announced he too has dressed up in blackface as a teenager.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump might be the first President since 1976 to NOT use the National Emergencies Act of 1976. This is a legitimate law that was passed by Congress, not an executive order. What alternatives do Mitch McConnell and other Republicans that are criticizing his use of this act offer to secure the border? All we get is more massive spending and debt. McConnell and Paul Ryan had their chance to solve this problem and didn't. Trump needs to take this to the courts ASAP! Then, we must reject populism — we are a Republic — populism isn't built into our Constitution. Meanwhile the attack against our institutions are unrelenting by Chuck Schumer and others who won't support Trump's anticipated call for unity at tonight's State of The Union. The Democrats won't stop until they get amnesty. Afterwards, the media is in full hype mode promoting the SOTU response from Stacy Abrams, a former candidate for Governor of Georgia. The narrative is being spread by all networks from Donna Brazile to Schumer promoting Abrams as the main event, calling Trump the warm up act to Abrams. They are playing up Abrams just like they play up AOC, and Barack Obama years earlier. Lastly, Governor Andrew Cuomo is upset that NY revenues have dropped so the state has less money to spend due to the increasingly unfriendly environment for wealthy New Yorkers.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, what's wrong with America, when babies that are born can be aborted? We have sitting elected officials that are a disgrace and its applauded as a woman's choice? Future generations will look back and recognize this barbarism. It’s shocking that every religious organization, every politician, and every citizen does not rise up and fight this. We once believed in right versus wrong, good versus evil, and some of us still do but the silence of the majority is deafening. Also, freedom of the press has become dogma; it’s no longer comparable to the brave men that ran printing presses and led the revolution for liberty in America. Today the threat is tyranny but the Marxists have figured out that euphemisms like 'sticking it to the rich' and 'redistributing wealth' work a lot better. Today the press have become the voices of tyranny as they work diligently every day to destroy a sitting president. Afterwards, the State of The Union is just another stage for the lunacy of the left. Trump may in fact have to trigger the National Emergencies Act of 1976 just as previous presidents have. His use of this act is perfectly legitimate and allows for Congress to vote against his use of it. Despite critics claims that this is an effort to circumvent Congress, it was a Democratic Congress that passed this law in 1976. The National Emergencies Act has been used more than 50 times since its inception. Finally, person(s) close to President Trump are trying to destroy him; this time leaking his schedules to the media. President Lincoln warned that America would only be destroyed by itself, from within; so like President Reagan admonished: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction..It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the Washington Examiner reports that former Vice President Joe Biden embraced segregation in 1975, claiming it was a matter of 'black pride'. When asked if he was a racist he said, “he had asked "the blacks on my staff" whether he harbored something "in me that’s deep-seated that I don’t know." He also continued that a homogeneous society or de-segregation was bad for the African American identity. This seems like an attempt to have it both ways pandering to both blacks and whites during a time where race riots were looming. America today has more diversity today than ever before, yet Biden seems to suggest that an integrated society might somehow be bad. Similar to Biden is VA Governor Ralph Northam's new problem of a photo of him in his yearbook posing as either a KKK member or with his face painted in black face. Later, Rep. Ilhan Omar believes in a 70—90% tax, in particular on corporations and wealthy individuals suggesting that business be forced to share their profits with their workers. While gutting the defense budget to enhance education under the pretext of the rich people paying their fair share when they in fact pay the majority of all taxes. She cites the influence of money in our politics as severe, despite just winning an election where her party outspent all other candidates. Also, Sen. Bernie Sander is proposing a massive 45% —77% inheritance tax on farmers, small business, owners, and the like. Imagine Medicare for all, universal basic income for all, free college for all, with no border security; such policies would strangle our economy, destroy our country, and our culture of hard work.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, for the longest time the media, principally CNN, and Rep Adam Schiff told us that then-Candidate Trump knew all about the meeting of Donald Trump Jr. and Paul Manafort with a group of Russians promising dirt on Hillary Clinton. President Trump has maintained that he did not know of any such meeting. Today CNN contradicted these suspicions as it was confirmed that the President was telling the truth all along and that the mysterious calls made by Trump Jr. to blocked numbers both before and after the meeting the Trump team was lured into. While honest Americans, rely on the press to know about their government, the Democrats use this institution to work as an enemy against We The People! Also, the President is right to question the intelligence community. Russia's alliance with China against US interests is a cause for concern. Trump's instincts are spot on. The truth is Trump has been tougher on Iran, Russia, and China than his recent. Later, Senator Warren's comments on capitalism clearly demonstrate that she doesn’t understand how imposing obstacles and barriers to trade is exactly what strangles the economy. If we'd only have the options to buy what Warren says we can buy; no more choices in shirts, coffee, underwear, or toilet paper because the free market would no longer be free. Beware of the politicians that thrive on government, money, and power, because it’s a matter of time before they regulate how large our homes can be, how much food we can purchase, and what type of energy we use to heat our homes. We've seen it already with the left's "Medicare for all" proposal that would destroy an entire industry while giving us a healthcare system that's inferior to what we currently have. The left goes after one industry at a time to destroy them; they went after health insurance, next its pharmaceuticals. Yet all the government does is create poverty, the government does not create wealth it only takes it.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, we now have a Democrat Party that wants to take the wealth of our citizens and transfer it to others, a Party that wants to destroy private industries, and a Party that embraces and promotes infanticide. This is called fascism! Yesterday, their Marxist ideology was called out by Billionaire Democrats Howard Shultz and Mike Bloomberg denying the idea that free healthcare is the governments sole responsibility. Then we must choose whether we will base our American system on the government as statists or upon our founding documents as constitutionalists. Republican leadership must stop embracing big government and embrace you and I—the American people! Then, where does our morality come from? Should one religion prevail over others, or should we ban religion altogether? No. Its certain that our founders wanted to perpetuate a Judeo-Christian sense of morality and deism. Killing babies is murder and the so-called moderate Governor of Virginia has showed us just how radical he really is with this new abortion bill he's touting and NY Governor Andrew Cuomo is the new Kermit Gosnell hiding late-term abortion behind "reproductive rights." When America doesn't protect its babies you know that it’s a corrupt dying culture. Also, a European newspaper released a 1998 video of a shirtless, then-Mayor, Bernie Sanders in Russia singing "This Land is Your Land" with several shirtless Russians in Moscow. Mysteriously the video was published recently and then taken down by the same European newspaper. Afterwards, new information from Investors Business Daily proves that more election fraud than was suspected took place in Texas due to non-citizens voting.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, we discourage President Trump from working closely with radical libertarians Charles and David Koch's plan for amnesty. We must stem the flow of illegal immigration and strengthen border security, doing otherwise risks a potential loss of conservative supporters in his base. Republicans must stop running from the Democrats when they start pushing; waffling here could cost Trump his presidency. Mitch McConnell has exploded the debt and done nothing the entire time he's been in Congress to fix our illegal immigration problem. Government is not the answer. Conservatives must stop this! Using the National Emergencies Act, the Immigration and Naturalization Act, and other laws is not a cause for alarm. No one balked at its use over the past 43 years; it’s not like Trump is declaring martial law or creating new laws—he's simply addressing a national emergency at the border. Also, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, blasts the idea of healthcare for all, as leftists Sen Kamala Harris and Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have promoted, saying it’s a bad idea because it would destroy an entire industry and is obviously unaffordable. Perhaps Harris should visit Auschwitz to see what happens when unarmed citizens are attacked by the third Reich, instead of suggesting that Americans be disarmed. Finally, historian Victor Davis Hanson calls in to discuss the state of progressivism from the point of humanity in his new column "The Progressive Race to the Bottom."

On Monday's Mark Levin, the media is now turning on their own, attacking Tom Brokaw for saying "Hispanics should work harder at assimilation." instead of criticizing him for his comments on some people not wanting brown grandbabies due to "the intermarriage that is going on and the cultures that are conflicting." But the media and the government all support balkanization because their progressive agenda is rooted in collectivism not individualism and certainly not Americanism. Following the backlash, Brokaw took to twitter to apologize for his statement on assimilation.  Also, the Democrats are proposing the idea of a bill that would prevent the government from ever being shutdown again. This is a terrible idea that flies in the face of the Constitution. President Trump still hasn't ruled out the use of his authority under the National Emergencies Act and has received a favorable determination regarding installing a border barrier to prevent narcotics from entering the country. Later, Sen. Kamala Harris is being promoted on cable news as the 2020 Presidential frontrunner despite her brief tenure and lack of achievement in the US Senate. Harris' thin record is weak and her campaign seems to be centered around racism and other "ism's". Finally, breaking news: five Houston Police officers were shot and one suspect was killed; story is still developing at this time. Our prayers are with the Houston Police and their families.

On Friday's Mark Levin show, the way that Roger Stone was treated as he was arrested today was unusually aggressive and wrong! We see some aspects of our history repeating itself, just as critical pamphleteers strongly opposed the president during the conflict between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson prior to the Jay Treaty in 1795 "In the ideology of the new republic no danger was greater than the corruption of foreign influence." At the time it was believed that British interests were involved in treaty negotiations. Despite all of Robert Mueller’s interviews and arrests, for unrelated process crimes, he still has no proof of collusion or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.  The goal of Trump's opposition has always been to destroy him, his policies, and his presidency.  Also, CNN's "nose for news" smells more like a leak than muckraking. The DOJ needs to initiate a leak investigation into why CNN was at Stone's house before the FBI even arrived because their explanation is weak and nonsensical. Then, Fox News Chief Intelligence Correspondent Catherine Herridge  calls in to discuss how the Stone arrest was handled and how rarely congressional testimony has been used as the basis for a grand jury indictment and other irregularities. Later, President Trump's problem with the border wall is that Republicans in the Senate are falling off the Trump Train. If his own team won’t stand with him in this fight it’s going to be tough. We need to stand with the President and give him three more weeks and see what they come up with - we’re not done yet. But we must stand against amnesty, otherwise we’re out!

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, our government has become too damn big! We must never give in to amnesty!  President Trump's shutdown proposal was modest and he must stay the course. In 1986 , as part of the Reagan Administration we saw the Democrats dupe Ronald Reagan, and they duped George Bush in 2006. Also, government workers earn more than most of the private sector and members of congress fly around for free with members of their families while the American people are competing for jobs with illegal aliens.  All we hear about is 800,000 federal employees, it’s as if the rest of America does not exist, as if farmers or truckers don't exist! They’re turning this magnificent country into another European craphole!  Then, the media has compared Trump to Hitler, called him a racist, and questioned his fitness to be president countless times, yet they're never taken to task for their statements.  Hacks in the media like CNN's Jim Acosta and his aptly titled new book "Enemy of The People" and Tommy Christopher from Mediate continue to pose as journalists while acting like opinion commentators. Later, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been silent on the destruction of the Venezuelan state at the hands of her beloved socialism.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is America’s first Fascist! Her Alinsky tactics are literally destroying the long-held tradition of the president speaking before a joint session of Congress to deliver the State of The Union for the first time in history.  She's lying about her concerns over security, and the Democrats and the press have no problem with it! Pelosi's behavior is that of a radical authoritarian fascist.  She's more than willing to allow people to come into this country as they please, and she's defying the will of the people who voted nationally for President of the United States from getting the State of the Union Address as they always have. For all their talk about Vladimir Putin they are acting a lot like him in the Democrat party.  Pelosi has no problem asking for Trump's tax returns and is okay with investigations on his children and his business.  So perhaps the Pelosi's taxes, finances, and businesses as well as their children should be subject to the same scrutiny they wish for Trump, since she's second in the line for succession for the presidency.  Then, Michael Cohen says he will not testify, claims that he is afraid of threats from Trump. It's a joke, Cohen was likely advised by a real lawyer, not Lanny Davis, to keep his mouth shut and not confuse his previously told lies in a new testimony. Finally, Isaiah Berlin was brilliant in his essay and lecture "Two Concepts of Liberty" which makes a powerful case for freedom from government and interference by other people versus the possession of the power and resources to fulfil one's own potential. 

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, The fourth estate, the media, has become the fifth column. There are no uniform standards for news outlets. Rules of professional conduct, no commitment to objectivity, and a blurred line between opinion and facts. The media picks and chooses who they decide to support. Their love affair with the Obama's, Bernie Sanders and as of late, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has resulted in yellow journalism. But the first Amendment is not there for the media, it’s there for We The People! The mass media's monopolistic pack mentality breeds lousy reporting which is detrimental to the republic. However, any criticism of the mass media's advocacy rather than reporting is met with cries of censorship. Also, freshman Congresswoman Ocasio Cortez and other socialists of the same ilk don't seem to understand that John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Jeff Bezos, and other billionaires revolutionized the world through their industry, yet they are hated by the left for their success and contribution. The world is different today because of railroads, cars, and the web and the government didn't create any of these things! It’s our liberty that allows for free market capitalism thrive, not the government. The redistribution of wealth doesn't create jobs, it only takes them.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is a National Holiday and the federal Government is shut down, as it always is on a National Holiday. Nancy Pelosi effectively controls the appropriation process in the house and whether or not the federal government will receive $5.7 Billion for the border wall, but Pelosi just keeps blocking and obstructing the government from re-opening. Yes, the president can use the National Emergencies Act, but this is a rare exception, the reality is that Congress must deliver on appropriations. Therefore, the ball is in Pelosi's court! Then, in response to this program's calls for a leak investigation regarding Friday's BuzzFeed News story—which was challenged by the Special Counsel's statement saying the article was inaccurate— BuzzFeed News reporter Anthony Cormier said he couldn't elaborate because it might prompt a leak investigation. It seems BuzzFeed, Robert Mueller, and The White House heard this program's bombshell analysis in their fake-news story, loud and clear. Afterwards, freedom of the press isn't owned by the media, its owned by We The People. When people sit in these powerful positions and lie, and spin, they in fact become the enemy of We The People. Over the weekend the fake news media claimed a bunch of catholic high school kids were berating a native American activist, however, a closer look at the full video shows the boys were walking away from another group that was harassing them, not the other way around. Later, President Trump made several concessions in an imperfect proposal, but it does not include amnesty. Trump is fighting harder than any other president in history for physical barriers at our southern border. But, what exactly is Pelosi proposing in these negotiations?
