Mark Levin Podcast

Is it time to tank the Republican Party or has the Republican Party tanked itself? The party is at war with the base that gave it its majorities in the Congress and Senate. The modern day Republican Party has controlled house for 18 of the last 22 years but has not effectively advanced a conservative agenda and has abandoned its core principles. At the same time, Republicans consistently dominate local and state legislatures, yet the country continues to slide to the Left politically. After that, Wednesday was the last Presidential debate and the liberals will say that Hillary Clinton won, and the nationalist populists will say Donald Trump won. In addition, we have no idea what anyone is going to do in this debate. A point has been reached now where the debates now are all about the media and it’s clear they need to be taken out of these debates. Also, it‘s hard to see how Donald Trump can win this election. The Republican Party is on its heels and Trump is behind. However, some delude themselves into believing that Trump isn’t behind in this race and that there is a silent majority out there that is going to show up and vote for him. While this is possible, people should not base their hopes on this happening. Later, you don’t unite America by saying you are going to unite America. You unite America by unleashing the American people, speaking about the greatness of America, not smothering us, and not putting us down in international forums.

Our voting system is a disaster by design of the left. Voter lists are populated with deceased voters. Republican governors and counties have tried to clean up their voter lists but are always opposed by Democrat operatives and the Obama Administration. Voter ID laws have been routinely opposed by liberals and accusations of racism have been thrown at those who seek to safeguard the franchise. The Left believes it’s in its best interests to have as much as possible that cannot be checked, to have as many voter lists as possible that are filled with errors. So the question is why? Because they cheat! That’s why! Donald Trump is right when claiming the voter system is rigged but he’s a little off target, its actually worse than what he’s saying. After that, it is going to be tough for Trump to pull a win off. He’s going against a mostly united Democrat Party with a divided Republican Party. Depending on how this election goes it could be a blow out where Hillary Clinton wins and takes the Senate and maybe the House. Finally, Brian Mast calls in to talk about his run for Congress in Florida’s 18th District.

Like a mobster, Hillary Clinton sent her guy Patrick Kennedy to pressure the FBI to declassify a classified email so that she could cover up her tracks and continue to lie. Kennedy, a senior official at the State Department was pressuring the FBI to declassify the classified information in Hillary’s email. Kennedy said that the FBI's insistence that information remain classified caused problems for Hillary. Hillary is a liar, cover-up artist, and endangered this nation in ways that we will never know. If Hillary did this while in State Department, what will she do as president? After that, James O’Keefe calls in to discuss his videos exposing Democrats inciting violence at Trump rallies. His videos are not getting any attention from the mainstream media, but if they were exposing Richard Nixon, they would be plastered everywhere. Later, Jeffrey Anderson, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute calls into talk about why the presidential race will stay competitive. For people looking for hope for Donald Trump, polls indicate that there is hope for him in New Hampshire and Colorado. Also, we are a nation of citizens, not a nation of immigrants. Those who oppose illegal immigration are not advocating to pull up the drawbridge but to man it and make sure we know who is coming in. Finally, Kim Strassel calls in to talk about her book, “The Intimidation Game: How the Left is Silencing Free Speech”.

Michelle Obama says she was shaken to her core over the 2005 Trump audio. How come she wasn’t shaken to the core over how Ted Kennedy handled the death of Mary Jo Kopechne in the Chappaquiddick incident? Also, there are 26 days left to the election, but the latest Donald Trump controversy can’t be sorted out before then. 5 ladies have come forward and have accused Trump of various degrees of inappropriate sexual advances. One lady said she didn’t want Trump to be president, so why didn’t she go to the New York Times or CNN last year during the primary? Why didn’t these 5 women come out before the general election? Bringing these allegations up 26 days before the election suggests manipulation. In addition, the media knows exactly what they are doing. They released information on the Trump accusers but won’t do any stories on the 12 year old who was beaten and raped, and how Hillary Clinton defended the rapist. The idea that the editorial page is separate from the news page is ridiculous; they are owned and controlled by the same people. Later, at least we constitutional conservatives will retain are integrity, our morals, and principles after this election is over. We don’t think about what is best for the party or the movement, but what is best for the country.

We used to be a nation that focused on the rights of the individual, which are unalienable, eternal, and God given rights. Now instead of focusing on individual rights, we have become a nation of and for the government. When you are unmoored from the Constitution and natural rights, it’s about government all the time. The Democrats see no limitation to the power of the government. The Republicans just play along and are now the party of Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt was the first progressive Republican and is responsible for unleashing the administrative state in America. After that, our society is now operating within limits placed on us by statists. We are paying for our own demise. This election is about stopping the statists’ agenda. It will not completely turn America around but it’s about damage control. In addition, this election has underscored how corrupt the media are. Their corruption can be seen in the kinds of things they report, what they omit, and in certain politicians they cover up for. Finally, there is no comparison between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Trump has built great things and the benefits that go with them. Hillary has not employed anyone nor built anything.

Dan Bongino, Contributing Editor of Conservative Review fills in for Mark. Democrats wouldn’t be able to get away with what they have without the mainstream media. The mainstream media has become the most dangerous part of government especially when they support the myth that there was a surplus during Bill Clinton’s years and that people were dying in the streets during Ronald Reagan’s term. The myth that Bill had a surplus is false and is easily refutable. During Clinton’s years the national debt consistently rose. The government then took money from Social Security and used it to pay down the debt. In addition, how many times are liberals going to talk about “fair share”? Liberals never tell you what that fair share is. Also, Hillary Clinton asked Donald Trump if he was going to give control of health care back to the insurance companies. Ironically, President Obama and other liberals are now lobbying Congress to give tax payer money to these same health insurance companies. Trump and his campaign need to hammer back against these myths with some hard facts.

If you were alive during the Founding Father’s time would you have voted for George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, or James Monroe for president? These four men all owned slaves yet without them America wouldn’t be the country it is today. Trump is not the Founding Fathers’ but he is also not Hillary Clinton. What he said in 2005 was disgusting and pathetic, but he didn’t rape anybody. This election is not about electing a conservative but about damage control after the Obama administration. Trump is not a conservative and he’s might not be reliable on some of the conservative positions that he has adopted. But Hillary Clinton is a reliable Alinsky ideologue and wants single payer health care, massive tax increases and liberal justices on the Supreme Court. In addition, Hillary Clinton doesn’t care about the Constitution, she wants the institutionalization of the leftist agenda in the Constitution which will make it impossible to change down the road. Trump wants to pick judges that will respect the Constitution. It’s not the moral, principled, conservative thing to do to stand down in this election. Is it moral to support someone like Hillary who unleashed suffering in the Middle East through her policies? When Ted Cruz said vote your conscience he wasn’t talking about reputation but rather what is good for the country. Some people will do nothing, but they are dead wrong. After that, some say Trump should step aside and Mike Pence should step up. If Trump were to step aside for Pence, we would lose in a massive landslide because people are already voting. This idea is impossible to carry out.

There is no defending what Donald Trump said about women in 2005; it was grotesque. The media dumping this on Friday in order to take advantage of it before the upcoming, Sunday debate is unethical. Where was this media when President Bill Clinton was accused of assaulting multiple women? Where was this media when Hillary Clinton led the smear machine in defense of her husband? This media was silent because they are the Praetorian Guard of statism. They’re for big government. They’re for the Democrats and they reject us, they despise us. They don’t report. In addition, the business of being an outsider does not excuse any of Trump’s conduct. However, the goal is to beat Hillary Clinton, not defend the indefensible. After that, 54% of people who entered the U.S. in 2015 illegally were caught. What happened to the other 46%? Later, Planned Parenthood is a private organization, so why should the American taxpayer keep funding it? Planned Parenthood is immune to budgetary cuts despite its disgusting activities. They are fighting to ensure that we keep funding it against our wishes. Finally, weatherman, Joe Bastardi of WeatherBell calls in to give us an update on Hurricane Matthew.

President Obama’s approval rating has hit a high of 55% in his second-term. This rating tells us one thing - we’re surrounded by stupid people. We’re surrounded by people who don’t care about their rights and liberty, think eviscerating law enforcement is a great thing and are in favor of open borders. After that, Donald Trump is behind in key states with only 5 weeks left. Many of us are desperate to defeat Hillary Clinton in spite of Trump’s imperfections. It’s up to Trump to win and no one else. This could be a very close election as indicated by the polls and Trump could lose if he is not careful. In addition, Joe Bastardi of WeatherBell calls in to give an update on Hurricane Matthew’s current status. As the rest of the country sleeps Thursday night, the Florida east coast is going to be hit by Hurricane Matthew with 120 mile per hour winds. There could be massive floods in Florida, in Georgia and in North Carolina. Also, Hillary has asked the state of Florida in the middle of an emergency to extend the voter registration there. It is never America first with her and the left. Later, Obama is disgracefully bypassing the Senate once again. He is going to enter into a treaty at the U.N. on climate change. This treaty is against capitalism and will destroy liberty in America. How does shutting down our smoke stack industries and paying foreign governments going to stop the ocean from rising?

Hurricane Matthew is a monster hurricane at category 3 and is expected to increase to category 4 by the time it hits East Florida. The worst of it is expected to hit just north of West Palm Beach and the winds are expected to gust in between 120 to 130 miles per hour. Weatherman Joe Bastardi calls in to give the latest on the hurricane and says this looks to be one of the worst hurricane since 1851. After that, Tim Kaine was an obnoxious liberal at Tuesday night’s VP debate. He deceived the people of Virginia that he is a moderate in politics and temperament. Also, the moderator‘s behavior was absolutely disgraceful. Mike Pence was debating Kaine and had to debate and fend off the moderator. She was wholly unqualified to moderate the debate. We need to get the media out of these debates. Let the campaigns negotiate how they want to conduct themselves. As for Pence, finally, there is a man who is decent, articulate and talking about conservative principles. He was well prepared, and was not sucked into the gutter. Pence advanced a conservative agenda across the board including the issues of national security, the Constitution, the Supreme Court, border security, Hillary Clinton’s emails, and others. In addition, Tim Kaine said that a woman’s right to choose is a personal decision? If it’s a personal decision, then why should we pay taxes to fund abortions? Later, Governor Mike Pence calls in to talk about his debate performance on Tuesday.

Wouldn’t it be nice if President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Kerry told the truth? They must attack the founding of this nation and reject the Declaration of Independence and individual rights. They attack it and the Constitution because the Constitution doesn’t give them the power to do what they are doing. The Constitution is the political manifestation of the Declaration of Independence. There was no mention of the word “slavery” in the Constitution or the Declaration as Kerry says. Slavery was not enshrined in America’s Founding documents. If we are going to talk about slavery, like John Kerry wants to overseas, then why not talk about modern day slavery where Muslims in Africa enslave Christians and what ISIS is doing in the Middle East? Later, apparently there was racism in Kenya according to President Obama in 1990. He was stereotyping even back then and acted like he knew it all too. Kenya was just another place that Obama wanted to transform. Finally, Joe Bastardi, weatherman, calls in to talk about Hurricane Matthew which is moving toward Florida from the Bahamas. The hurricane is going to hit close to land or make landfall. If Hurricane Matthew makes landfall the winds could get up to 130 miles per hour and the result will be devastating.

Isn’t it amazing that there is no ethical issue raised when somebody leaks somebody else’s tax records to the media? Liberals don’t seem to mind these sorts of things. Whatever is in Donald Trump's tax returns as long as he follows the law, he follows the law. After that, the Democrats wherever they serve cannot be trusted with leaks. Whether it’s in Hollywood, academia or the media, they will leak it, use it and mock it; to them the ends justify the means. It’s a disgrace that the New York Times leaked his taxes and they need to be publicly admonished for this. In addition, there is no evidence that Trump broke a single law, not even a hint of illegal activity in Trump’s tax returns. Yet, there’s more than a hint that Hillary has spent her entire life breaking laws. What’s worse!? Hillary getting half a million dollars from foreign governments or their state-run businesses to give a speech? Or complying with the internal revenue code? Who’s done more damage to you in this country? Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump? Meanwhile Trump is running a campaign that he is proud of but the rest of us aren’t. He should be beating Hillary soundly, yet has a lousy campaign. Trump could take his lessons from Ronald Reagan who was informed, conversational and lighthearted. Reagan made the case and laid out what his vision was for America without personal animosity. He would have greatly defeated Hillary Clinton if he was running today.

President Obama has discarded even the pretense of upholding the constitutional separation of powers that is foundational to the American system of government. But the Constitution, the separation of powers, is what makes America great. To truly make America great again, we must restore our constitutional system of government, but we’re not living in a constitutional republic anymore and it’s only going to get worse. President Obama acts as if this is his country and his alone and he'll do as he pleases. His mentality is completely perverse, he’s becoming more dangerous and he doesn’t even hide his radicalism anymore. This nation has transitioned and transformed right in front of our eyes under Obama. And the impeachment clause has been crossed out of the constitution by Republicans so there’s nothing to keep a strong man like Obama in check and he knows it. Also, the Obama administration signed a secret document to lift U.N. sanctions on Iranian banks. Obama lied when he said we knew about this. The left complains that they want nuclear freezes but they armed up North Korea under Bill Clinton and now are arming up Iran under Obama and our children and grandchildren will pay the price. Finally, Obama visited Israel for the memorial service of former Israeli PM Shimon Peres in Jerusalem. Although the White House would not acknowledge the fact that he was in Jerusalem, striking the word from a transcript of Obama’s remarks and reissuing a “corrected” one.

Inga Barks from KNZR fills in for Mark. Hillary Clinton says she’s a feminist but she has women like Madonna and Katy Perry, who are getting naked to push people to vote for her. This is a very anti-feminist technique to try and get votes and it seems Hillary is drawing on the opposite of anybody who’s a feminist. Also, the CIA is telling us that we can expect ISIS attacks inside America. We shouldn’t accept that, we live in America and should demand better. Later, how many have you heard of the shooting in South Carolina or Washington? Not many because the media didn’t cover it. National media doesn’t tell us the leading story anymore because of politics.

If we just spent a small percentage of our energy on where this country is going and what we can do about it, then we could help push this nation in the right direction. A diligent and resolute people is what’s needed to effectively fight tyranny. As conservatives we get caught up in the agenda of the left and fight back on their little issues as they win. They are destroying this country. Athens and Rome, both great Republics, decayed from within and then were overcome by outside forces. America is now in decline, and has become a soft tyranny. It is getting worse and worse. After that If Hillary Clinton wins the election, she will continue the destruction of this country with President Obama’s policies. If Trump wins, America’s decay will be slowed but not stopped. It’s going to take more than one president to turn the country around. What America needs is Convention of States and Article 5 which is the nation’s last recourse. The project to disassemble our republic has been successful and the Constitution is the only antidote. Later, Hillary Clinton is using former Miss Venezuela to advance her agenda. She doesn’t care about women, she just wants power. Finally, Fred Dryer, actor and former NFL player calls in to discuss the state of the NFL today.
