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?

Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 1/18/19

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Breaking news: Special Counsel Mueller's Office debunked claims made by Buzzfeed News that falsely claimed that President Trump encouraged Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. Of course, there was never a scintilla of evidence to support these claims. Yet the only people that would have known about this would be Mueller’s office. So how would this information get to BuzzFeed in the first place? If Mueller's office had not denied the BuzzFeed article's accuracy, then Attorney General Whittaker and Deputy AG Rosenstein would be on the hook to launch a leak investigation, as this program has been calling on them to do. Moreover, Jason Leopold, the author of the article in question, admits to a "checkered past" that includes inaccurate reporting, most notably on the Valerie Plame scandal. Then, Speaker Pelosi says that traveling commercially endangers members of Congress, yet our unsecure southern border is of no consequence. She takes no issue benefitting from the excellent security she receives from the Capitol Police and the walls of the Capitol Building but won’t afford the American people the same security at our southern border. Finally, Steve Deace calls in discuss his new book, Truth Bombs.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Senator Rand Paul has repeated the recommendations of this program to invite President Trump to deliver the SOTU address from the US Senate chamber instead of the House chamber. Trump should not deliver the SOTU from a rally, where it would lose the addresses appeal. Meanwhile, President Trump issued a letter canceling all Congressional trips overseas due to the partial government shutdown – as he should. Also, Speaker Pelosi was criticized for not reigning in the anti-Semitic remarks of freshman member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). In 2012, Omar accused Israel of "evil doings" on Twitter. Then, John Solomon from The HIll calls in to report the latest updates on Bruce Ohr who walked Christopher Steele into the FBI offices in July of 2016 mentioning that his wife's firm Fusion GPS was working with the Hillary Clinton campaign. However this did not stop, Andrew Weissman, Sally Yates, and other Obama-era officials in the DOJ and FBI from using this information to pursue FISA warrants for the Russia investigation. Yet Former FBI Director Comey's testimony seems to contradict Ohr's disclosure on these events, per Solomon. Finally, former deputy assistant to President Trump, Sebastian Gorka, calls in to discuss insults hurled at him by CNN’s Jim Acosta at the White House.

Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 1/16/19

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Speaker Nancy Pelosi politicized the State of the Union address (SOTU) in her latest attack on President Trump by writing a letter requesting that Trump suspend the SOTU citing the shutdown as a pretext for diminished security. Despite the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service confirming that they are in fact ready and able to secure the President’s speech. This is another attempt to deny Trump of what any US President is expected to do. Trump should direct the President of the Senate and the Senate Majority Leader to make arrangements to deliver the address from the Senate chamber instead of from the House of Representatives, completely bypassing Pelosi. Trump should explain that Speaker of the House is politicizing his report to We The People. Trump should make it crystal clear in his address that House Democrats do not run the Executive Branch, just one portion of a bicameral congress. Then, if Pelosi continues to obstruct the President, GOP members of the house should move to expel her, even if they can't get enough votes. The House of Representatives does not belong to Pelosi, the House leadership or the Democrats, it belongs to the people of the United States! Later, the media is nearly synonymous with philosophies of Marx and Hegel and this is symptomatic of what's happening to our country today. The pursuit of a harmonious utopia. Finally, a radicalized Georgia man who had plans to attack the White House with an anti-tank rocket was arrested Wednesday.
