Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 11/20/18

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, The media is smearing Ivanka Trump attempting to connect her private email use to Hillary Clinton’s use and illegal scrubbing of an email server on which she discussed classified information. You really do have to have a negative IQ to draw that conclusion. Ivanka has not installed an illegal unsecure server in her home like Hillary did and Ivanka didn't delete tens of thousands of emails. What Ivanka did does not compare to what Hillary did. Then, Barack Obama stacked the courts with radicals and left our country worse off than he found it and was proud to focus on "fundamental transformation". He created distrust in many communities and trashed our law enforcement. yet, he gets a pass, his wife gets a pass, and his kids get a pass. Obama was a grave damage to our country, but President Trump gets attacked daily, they go after his wife, and want to see his kids in jail. Obama saved the Iranian regime that kills journalists, women, and gays; paying them off in hard currency. But Trump is lambasted for his alliance with the Saudi's to mutually take on Iran. Yet Iran who chants "Death to America" has been building nukes for years. Saudi Arabia doesn't have any nukes, but Trump is criticized for reaffirming a commitment to them as an ally while Obama was applauded for paying off the genocidal maniacs in Iran. Also, a federal Judge in San Francisco decided Trump’s decision to require those seeking asylum to go to a legal port of entry, as opposed to rushing the Mexican border is Trump changing the law. It used to be understood that this is an area where the president has plenary power.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Carl Bernstein and CNN are now suggesting that the media should edit President Trump’s press conferences, rather than airing them live. What Bernstein really wants to say is that because the president is a propagandist and a liar, we in the media have to take the actual news of what he’s saying and edit it and decide what is our view of the news, with our liberal values. This gives you insight into how fools like this think. The problem with the people that populate the media is their ideology, their motivation, and their purpose. The press need to be examined and we need to study what the role of the press has historically been in our nation. They are ideologically driven and are incapable of restraining themselves to simply gather the facts and report the news. Then, Mark's Wikipedia page continues to smear him despite numerous requests for correction. These false attributions and mischaracterizations are proof that the left will use any media medium available to them for their political attacks. This is character assassination. Finally, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity gave gracious speeches on Mark's induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Federal Judge Timothy Kelly, has ruled, from the bench, a 14 day temporary restraining order that the White House give back Jim Acosta's hard press pass until due process can be afforded to him. The Court did not discuss the validity of CNN's first amendment claims, however the court does not allow media in the courtroom and we the American people have no idea exactly what took place in that courtroom. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia would not release a public transcript of today’s ruling on Acosta’s press pass unless we paid for each page of the document, filled out an extensive application, and got the approval of the court’s office. Freedom of the press, except when it comes to the federal judiciary. Also, there is no requirement for the President to even hold a press conference or much less to call on certain reporter. We don't need a jerk in a black robe to tell us that this isn't constitutional, we know that because this is a clear violation of the separation of powers. What we're witnessing here is judicial tyranny and all they care about is themselves. Later, Robert Mueller has submitted written questions to President Trump and he has easily answered them reiterating that there was no collusion and there should never have been an investigation or witch hunt as he calls it. Then, election recounts in Georgia and Florida seem to be unchanged despite the effort of the Democrats to change the results. Meddling by the press, posting election projections before all precincts are counted is irresponsible; the press has a responsibility to report news for the people not for their own evil maniacal interests.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, Dan Bongino of NRATV fills in for Mark. The Democrats are testing to see what they can get away with on down ballot elections while distracting us with recounts. While Rick Scott’s victory was confirmed, Democrats made 77,000 ballots magically appear in the race for Agriculture Commission to steal the seat. The race was fleeced from right under our noses, and nobody is talking about it because we’re so focused on what’s going on at the top of the ballot. Also, there’s evidence to suggest that the Trump team was being spied on much earlier than 2016. On top of that, there is talk of exculpatory evidence that proves President Trump is innocent of collusion. This is turning out to be an entrapment operation, not a collusion scandal.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin show, It’s outrageous that all other news outlets have joined forces with CNN. CNN and Jim Acosta are protecting themselves not freedom of the press. It’s irrelevant that the media is reporting on itself that fellow news organizations are filing Amicus briefs--these are all pseudo events. Notice that none of these other media organizations have filed suit against the White House, they simply signed on to support CNN because they have no case. They wouldn't tolerate Acosta's behavior in their studios and judges wouldn't allow it in their court rooms. CNN and the others need to be reminded that they are there for the American people, to report the news not debate the president. The media no longer reports the news, they create the news and that is not protected by the first amendment. Then, it seems there's no Constitutional Crisis after all, as the White Office of Legal Counsel has concluded that the appointment of Matthew Whitaker as Acting Attorney General is in fact legal, Constitutional, and in compliance with federal law under the Vacancies Act. Also, CNN’s Jake Tapper’s demanded evidence of voter fraud in Florida. Here’s his evidence - the Florida Department of State has asked federal prosecutors to investigate altered election documents tied to the Florida Democratic Party. Why wasn’t this story broken on CNN? Because CNN’s not investigating. Finally, Michael Avenatti was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Dept for alleged felony domestic violence as reported by TMZ entertainment news.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin show, CNN and Jim Acosta filed a pathetic lawsuit, with some top gun lawyers, against President Trump and the White House. This isn’t a freedom of the press case, it’s a scam. The purpose of a presidential press conferences is for the American people, not for a reporter to interrupt and give his political opinions. No reporter has a constitutional right to be physically present in the press room, any more than the scores of reporters who are not so lucky as to get a hard pass, to be there in the first place. The left tells us that the framers didn’t envision automatic weapons when creating the second amendment. If that’s that case, did those same framers envision cable TV when creating the first amendment? If you follow left wing logic - CNN has no freedom at all. Also, in our history, we've had several Presidents arrest editors and journalists for printing fake presidential proclamations. Indeed, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, and Woodrow Wilson have all had reporters jailed. Even Barack Obama prosecuted journalists under the espionage act, more so than any of his predecessors.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the media decided decades ago that they were going to report the news and interpret it for you from a liberal perspective and that’s what we are seeing today. Now the media is claiming we lost the suburbs in the election because of President Trump but that's wrong, its immigration that cost us the suburbs and consequentially some House seats in the election. When Ronald Reagan and the Bush's won, Florida, Texas, and Colorado, they were solid red states. Back then the media wondered how the Democrats would ever win the presidency without physically changing the electorate. Well they're doing it! As assimilation has become extinct, we continue to lose because the population is changing. Mark reiterated his thoughts from his book Liberty and Tyranny in 2008 outline that birthright citizenship is not guaranteed by the 14th Amendment and it is immigration, both legal and illegal, which is fueling our problem with assimilation. Then, we look at new pseudo-events in the media, through the lens of Daniel Boorstin's book "A Guide to Pseudo Events in the Media". Boorstin describes pseudo-events as events that are not spontaneous, not train wrecks, but are planned and planted and exist solely to be reproduced by the media. Ambiguity is also a telltale sign of a pseudo-event. What Jim Acosta did last week at the Presidential press conference is exactly what a pseudo-event is. Later, California is on fire and the media blames Trump for his comments on forest management. Yet, Governor Jerry Brown makes comments blaming climate change deniers and does not get criticized by the media.

On Friday’s Mark Levin show, Apparently we have a constitutional crisis because President Trump is following the Federal Vacancies Reform Act and temporally appointed Matt Whitaker as acting Attorney General. The Left never seems bothered by the constitutional implications of things like runaway activist courts, a massive, entrenched federal bureaucracy, and President Obama’s efforts to work around Congress and federal law on immigration. Whitaker’s appointment as acting AG does not come close to a constitutional crisis. Also, Robert Mueller, who in effect is the most powerful prosecutor in America, has more power than any US Attorney and yet he hasn't been confirmed by the senate. This is why Mueller's appointment violates the appointments clause under article II of the Constitution. The Congress has no authority to prevent the President from firing any employee in the executive branch. Yet, the media continually refers to this as a "broken glass moment" which is in poor taste given we are upon the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass) when the Nazi's began executing Jews in Germany. Later, Senator Marco Rubio calls in to update us on the recount situation in Florida. In Broward County we're dealing with an Election Supervisor who has been caught destroying ballots in the past. We're not alleging that ballots are being changed, but we keep finding new ballots and the transparency of the process is not being followed. We have to make sure the work is completed and done correctly. Fortunately, Senate candidate Rick Scott (sitting Governor) just won a court decision compelling the Election Supervisor to comply with the law and its mandate for transparency.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin show, the democrats are trying to steal the Governor and Senate races in Florida, the Governor race in Georgia and the Senate race in Arizona. Those states are cointinuing their ballott counting. Florida law requires counties to report early voting results within 30 minutes after polls close, but Broward and Palm Beach Counties in Florida are still counting and refusing to disclose the number of ballots remaining to be counted. The Republicans not only have to win elections, they have to win them with enough of a buffer that all the cheating that goes on doesn’t affect the outcome. Florida GOP Chairman Blaise Ingoglia calls in to explain what the Republicans are doing to protect the integrity of Florida's elections through this recount process. Later, a retired US Marine suffering from PTSD entered a college bar in California and murdered 12 people including a Sergeant from the Sheriff's Office. Sergeant Ron Helus entered the front door of the bar during the gunfire to stop the shooter; Sgt. Helus lost his life in this act of selfless heroism. Afterwards, the media questions the Constitutionality of President Trump's interim appointment of Matthew Whitaker as Acting Attorney General. Going on to say any interruption with the Mueller investigation would spark problems or conflict in the function of a government that the Constitution might be unable to resolve better known as a Constitutional Crisis. All of this, despite the fact that temporary appointments are completely legal when they're serving on an interim basis while searching for candidate or awaiting senate confirmation. Finally, congress has no legitimate oversight responsibility to receive President Trump’s personal finances/taxes with a private coorporation. Article 1 powers don’t include the securing of personal, private financial records and tax returns for the purpose of democratic objectives.

Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 11/7/18

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, It’s no longer the media, it’s the Democrat media mob and they've moved from attacking Jeff Sessions to defending him as if he were their new hero. President Donald Trump hasn’t created a constitutional crisis or a Staurday night massacre by firing Sessions, like the media is claiming. This is perfectly legitimate, there’s nothing wrong whatsoever. Now they've trained their sights on the new Acting Attorney General, Matthew Whitaker already smearing him. Then, last night's election was no blue wave, it was a blue tinkle. They just won a 12-seat plurality above the Republicans in the House and they lost seats in the Senate. Plus, CNN's Jim Acosta disguises his allegations against the president at today's press conference, then nearly assaults a female staffer when refusing to release the White House press microphone and was subsequently banned from the White House. Afterwards, NBC's Andrea Mitchell calls Devin Nunes a clown on television, clearly departing with objectivity when making that judgment. The hard news people on TV should just tell the truth and call themselves liberal commentators and stop pretending to be objective journalists. The way the media speaks to our President is not acceptable in any professional environment. Speaking over others, interrupting others and their snide and cynical attacks disguised as questions would never fly in the workplace, yet they continue to treat the president this way. Finally, Rep. Jerrold Nadler slipped and revealed plans to impeach Trump and Brett Kavanaugh in a conversation heard on a Washington DC train.
