On Tuesday’s Mark Levin show, The media is hiding behind a false crusade for freedom of the press when they’re really just using that as an excuse to generate phony controversies about President Trump. The left and the right agree that Omarosa is known to be unreliable and the media wonder why we don’t take them seriously when they push her or Stormy Daniels. Omarosa’s book is a pseudo event but its driving the news and it’s not news. The press is interested in promoting their own agenda. We need to have a debate about the media in America. Although no one is threatening the existence of our media, we must examine the role and state of the media in our republic today. Then, reporting on Washington has become ubiquitous with way too much influence. Washington Professor Michael Eric Dyson is always hustling the race issue on TV despite contributing nothing to the conversation. Yet the media continually brings him on - to be a provocateur. Why doesn't CNN bring Shelby Steel or Thomas Sowell on their programs as guests? Liberals like CNN's Chris Cuomo dismiss context and rational thinking as "whataboutism" to justify not dealing with the truth when excused ANTIFA for their actions. Making these types of irresponsible statements sends the wrong message to people that potentially want to harm the police, media, and those they politically disagree with. We have violence at these rallies because MSNBC and like media condone it!

On Monday’s Mark Levin show, What Omarosa is doing is the equivalent of political blackmail and the media loves it. The media covered the story with little regard for the legality or security implications of what had been recorded and released. Their goal is just like it was with the media’s never-ending coverage of the Stormy Daniels drama — get someone on camera willing to bash the president at all costs and worry about the implications later. Also, Omarosa’s book is #6 on amazon’s top 100, beating her at #5 is Dr. Michael Pillsbury. Pillsbury appeared on Life, Liberty and Levin Sunday night to discuss the China threat. Why does the media promote Omarosa and ignore Pillsbury? Because the media manipulates what you hear and read. Later, more than 100 newspapers will publish editorials complaining about Trump’s “anti-press” rhetoric. Do we really need newspapers or TV networks who say the same thing? That’s just like Russia TV. Then, in today's Manafort trial the Special Counsel called its last witness today resting their case and the defense requested an acquittal. Judge T.S. Ellis ruled that the verdict will not be sealed. Collusion and conspiracy to defraud in an election are conspicuously absent in this trial as are any Russian agents attempting the interfere. Rudy Giuliani speculates that Mueller will be done with investigation by September. Robert Mueller is a greater danger to this country than Vladimir Putin in terms of our Constitutional order. We cannot allow a rogue prosecutor to violate the Constitution.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, China is threatening Apple because the laws are unstable in autocracies. China wants Apple's technology and products and Apple is stuck because they sold out. China is our enemy and are trying to become the world’s #1 superpower and they steal our technology to do so. Also, you have to wonder with all that President Trump has to worry about when dealing with Iran, North Korea, China, Russia and Turkey – does the media and Democrats really care about this country with their outrageous attacks on him? Trump has been stronger on national security than any President since Ronald Reagan and he trying to keep us safe even with the attacks on him. Later, Senator Dianne Feinstein and her husband continue to deny any conflicts of interest with China despite mounting scrutiny over her husband’s investments for more than 20 years. Has Feinstein ever recused herself from any issues related to China like Jeff Sessions had to recuse himself from Russia? She should be banned from any committee she sits on – she’s a danger. Finally, Laura Ingraham seems to be a punching bag for the left and the media. Efforts by the left to paint her as something she is not is an old Soviet trick.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Journalist John Solomon from the hill calls in to discuss a breaking story on the extent to which the Obama administration interfered with the 2016 election. Plus handwritten notes exposing Bruce Orr and Glen Simpson who gave a flash drive to the FBI despite conflicts of interest. Evidence uncovered by The Hill reveals that Simpson may have acted in contradiction with his given testimony; he wanted to make a hail-Mary attempt eight days before the election to stop Trump! Also, we constantly discuss the strong Constitutional arguments against this Rogue prosecutor, Robert Mueller. If President Trump is subpoenaed, the case should be made against Mueller – James Comey, Andrew McCabe, the dossier and the FISA court. Put Mueller on defense. The president will have leeway to make his case despite the courts bias toward him. Later, back in 1796, France decided to interfere in a Presidential election —specifically, to replace the pro-British, Federalist George Washington with the pro-French, Republican Thomas Jefferson. And from more modern history, in 2016 the Obama administration sent taxpayer money to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then interfered in the 2016 election. There wasn’t any special counsel in either case and no one was ever held to account.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Arguments in favor of Robert Mueller’s ability to indict President Trump for alleged obstruction of justice are really arguments for undoing the 2016 election. The Constitution is the president’s friend. Under the Constitution and according to the Department of Justice, the president of the United States cannot be indicted for a crime, period. Also, there is not even an assertion that Trump has committed a crime. Special counsel Robert Mueller has no authority to question Trump about his constitutional authority to fire subordinates like former FBI Director James Comey. The idea that a duly elected president could be prosecuted for obstructing justice because he used his constitutional authority to fire a subordinate is an abomination. Later, the FBI knew about Paul Manafort's overseas bank accounts years ago and did nothing about it until now. Rick Gates also concealed his overseas accounts from the FBI.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, National Security Advisor John Bolton calls in to discuss the Trump administration’s decision to impose further sanctions on the terrorist regime that rules Iran. The sanctions will seek to reverse the damage done by the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran. The Obama Iran deal didn’t stop Iran’s effort to get deliverable nuclear weapons. It really empowered the regime, which is the world’s central banker for international terrorism. Later, Chuck Todd, Jeffrey Toobin and Michael Steele calling President Trump a racist isn’t impressive. They don't want to have a discussion about race; they want to accuse someone of being a racist. In all of Trump’s years as a businessman he has never been known as a racist. But now all of sudden he's a racist because he gets heckled by Lebron James and maligned by Don Lemon so he strikes back. Being a counter-puncher is not being a racist. In Trump's career he's hired more African Americans than Lebron James, Brian Stelter, and Don Lemon. Trump has helped these employees put food on the table for their families.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, NRATV host Dan Bongino fills in for Mark. The spygate scandal on President Trump is all coming together and it just gets uglier and uglier. We now know of three separate scandals; the laundering of false information about Trump, government operatives gathering information on a political campaign, and the fact that the Trump team was being set up from the start. The Russian collusion in the 2016 election was very real, but it was between the Hillary campaign and Russia, not Trump. Also, the old rules of political discourse need to be replaced with new rules. In the past we were friends with democrats and could have civil discussions about differences. Now we need new rules because radical leftist kooks have taken over portions of the Democrat party. They are interested in one thing only – aggression and confrontation at every opportunity.

On Friday’s Mark Levin show, the biggest problems with communism and socialism are essentially based on class warfare. Specifically, how in the world can anyone properly define which class is supposed to rise up, subjugate the one above them, and become the new privileged class in the first place? While this problem is a significant one, it’s only the beginning their problems. Also, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez once claimed to be a student of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and said that healthcare was the intersection of money and people. Conveniently, some of her writings from a college publication have conveniently disappeared from the college publication's website. Later, it's day four of Paul Manafort's trial. Judge T.S. Ellis reminds Robert Mueller that the government must prove that Manafort knew the requirement of reporting his status and taxes on a separate form for his work as foreign agent. Prosecutors are making their case that Manafort wears expensive clothes and had carried some debt. Ellis reminded the Mueller team that the standard of proof was not his expenses but rather his knowing disregard for the legal requirements he's accused of violating. Finally, Dinesh D'Souza calls in to discuss his new movie – Death of a Nation.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, The media is reporting more on themselves than on legitimate news, and then claim they are under attack. They have abandoned a pretense of seeking objectivity for progressivism, while insisting to represent a free press. They’re devouring what they self-servingly claim to defend. If the media want to be treated with respect as a profession, as a crucial part of the American culture, then they should treat the American people with respect. This isn’t even about President Trump, he fights back, he’s their latest target. This is about the media, and the disrespect they show tens of millions of Americans. The problem is that the media will not address its own unprofessionalism. Also, Democrats keep saying that Trump’s tweet telling Jeff Sessions to stop this Robert Mueller witch hunt is obstruction of justice. These democrats are sending messages to Mueller and his team encouraging him to charge Trump with obstruction. They want Mueller to know that he will have the backing of the media and democrats if he does this. Later, Senator Marco Rubio has introduced legislation to modernize social security. Allowing workers to access to Social Security benefits after the birth of a child and delaying their retirement time. However, social security is broke. If people take benefits earlier then they will have less money to begin with. The problem here is that this bill is a ruse because there's no money left in the trust fund.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump is both the president as well as a citizen, but the media and democrats want to make the case that Trump isn’t free to control the executive branch. They’re calling Trump’s tweet saying Jeff Sessions should stop the rigged witch hunt an obstruction of justice – do they even know what obstruction is? Over 60 million people voted for Donald Trump, and now a small group of establishment elites are trying to undo the entire election. Also, Robert Mueller and his attorneys are trying to create the narrative against Paul Manafort, but the judge in the case isn’t having it. The prosecution kept using the word “oligarch” when describing Manafort and tried to use his expensive suits as proof he was evading his taxes – and the judge threw it out. The early skepticism could spell trouble for Mueller. Later, Iran is threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a move that would have major impact on international shipping. When the U.S. slashes military spending and lets its guard down, we tend to have wars. The media continues to ignore real issues like Iranian aggression while obsessing over Trump tweets in an effort to push their ideological agenda. Finally, Mark speaks with David Harsanyi of The Federalist about the panic over 3-D printed guns.
