On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, The Philadelphia Eagles disrespect the country by attempting to sabotage the White House's celebratory visit with massive no-shows to insult President Trump. Trump in turn canceled their visit. The Eagles handling of the team’s White House visit a complete setup by their management. The National Anthem is symbolic of loving our country and failing to observe it is an attack on "We The People". This is not about social injustice, it’s about people who love this country and have put their life on the line for it. The problem with these players is that they’ve gone Hollywood and are protected by a union so now they sound like elitists. If they want to keep protesting during the National Anthem then they can take their union, their football and shove it where the sun don’t shine! Then, some in media catch up to Professor Calabresi's analysis on our program that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's appointment is unconstitutional, not all special counsels, just Mueller's because of his broad scope and position as a principal officer under Article II of the Constitution. Many have missed this point or ignored it. Special prosecutor is determined by the mandate of the appointment, in Trump's case the mandate mentions no violations of law or individuals, and lacks oversight so its not fact-determinative. Trump is not above the law, it's Mr. Mueller that is above the law.

On Monday’s Mark Levin show, Rudy Giuliani said that President Trump has no intention of pardoning himself but he does have the power to do so. The left has determined that Trump Constitutionally can’t pardon himself – the same leftists that despise the Constitution. But they have no constitutional background and can’t point to a single thing at the Constitutional Convention or any of the ratification conventions to support this. Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution says the power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment, is vested in the president. That includes federal criminal acts or possible federal criminal acts. The Constitution does not say the president cannot pardon himself, and the subject never came up in the framer’s notes. To claim that the president cannot pardon himself is rewriting Article II, Section 2. Also, the mainstream media isn’t talking about the Supreme Court ruling protecting religious liberty, but rather how a gay couple got denied from having a same-sex wedding cake baked. The couple knew the baker was an evangelical Christian and targeted him to force their agenda. Later, voting for the 2018 National Radio Hall of Fame inductees is live!

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, We should step back and put events in context as we look at our culture and media. So much of Americanism as we know it is being degraded and replaced with something amorphous; it's being devoured by progressivism. Don Lemon, Jake Tapper, Samantha Bee, the Democrats and so many others are the progenitors of progressivism. Some do it knowingly, others unwittingly but all are activists for this agenda. The left would have us surrender the Constitution. They consistently blaspheme our founding as being devoid of morality and principle, therefore it must be replaced with resistance to our declaration of Independence.We are experiencing soft tyranny when we cannot say certain things on college campuses and the workplace. The left is replacing America's intellectual infrastructure with Barack Obama's ideas, Samantha Bee's ideas, Don Lemon's ideas and promote tribalism and groupthink through emotively promoting progressivism disguised as justice equality and freedom. Also, liberty means different things to different people. Some people believe you get liberty out of government - free college or free healthcare. That’s not liberty. Liberty is a personal and private matter, the freedom to move, invest or collect. Isaiah berlin put it best with positive and negative liberty. Positive liberty isn’t liberty at all – it’s what Bernie Sanders believes. Negative liberty is what we find in the Bill of rights. Finally, Michael Walsh calls in to discuss his new book, The Fiery Angel: Art, Culture, Sex, Politics, and the Struggle for the Soul of the West.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin show, the treatment of the Trump family is un-American and it’s like nothing we've ever seen in America before. TBS’s Samantha Bee is representive of what the democrat party and media have become. She said vile things about Ivanka Trump and should be banned from TV, yet she’s still on the air. Roseanne Barr is out but Bee, Joy Reid and Al Sharpton hang on. If you’re a leftist, you can be a bigot, a homophobe or a misogynist and you can be celebrated as heroes. Also, James Comey in 2017, said that the FBI was investigating the Trump campaign. But now they are changing their tune saying they aren’t investigating the Trump campaign, they are investigating the Russians only. Everytime we get closer to these police state tactics to spy on the Trump campaign they change their language and arguments. Later, the White House will add a 25% import tariff on steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum. These tariffs are a disgrace and will drive up the cost of our cars, trucks and homes. This is not a make Ameica first issue when you are driving up costs for American families. Finally, Steve Lonegan calls in to discuss his primary this Tuesday for NJ’s 5th Congressional district.

On Wednesdays Mark Levin Show, Rep Trey Gowdy is very popular today for claiming that the FBI did the right thing by planting a spy in the Trump campaign, and we're all supposed to follow him. It’s very slippery and convenient when he says that Trump isn't the target of the Robert Mueller investigation since they haven't found anything on Trump. Why did Trump Inc. have to turn over thousands of documents if Trump wasn't the target? It’s unbelievable how easy these phony civil libertarians overlook the unmasking, spying, and concealment of this investigation from congressional oversight for over 8 months. The Left has what it wants thanks to Gowdy, another putative Republican, retiring so he’s free to, speak his mind, such as it is. Also, the media takes the word of a porn star and root for a genocidal regime hoping Trump will fail. Yet we still don't know what happened in the January 5, 2017 meeting of Obama Administration officials Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, and Susan Rice. We still don't know what President Obama knew about this investigation or when he knew it. Later, Rosanne Barr should be condemned. But you need to be careful with these people in popular culture that were once leftists, especially before you hitch your name and reputation to them. Despite Joy Reid's vicious homophobic tweets she's still employed at MSNBC. DNC Vice Chair Keith Ellison has mislead us for years hiding his association with racist anti-Semite minister Louis Farrakhan. Why isn't Farrakhan condemned by the left, the Democrats, or the NY Times?

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Sen. Marco Rubio and Congressman Adam Schiff tell ABC News that informants are not spies and there’s no evidence to support that the FBI spied on President Trump. Schiff sat there doing the work of the Russians while obstructing Congressmen Devin Nunes, Ron DeSantis, and others from looking into Russian interference. The real road to colluding with the Russians does not lead to the Trump campaign, it leads to the federal government under Barack Obama. Democrats interfered in a huge way through the FBI, CIA, DNI, and others. The Democrats and media are in lockstep trying to discredit Trump on the Sunday shows echoing that he is a liar and a conspiracy theorist. Meanwhile, Ted Kennedy colluded and conspired with the Kremlin to defeat Reagan. Where's Bob Mueller when you need him? After, President Johnson used the federal government to spy on Barry Goldwater's campaign but the media then, and now, are silent on this. Also, what Roseanne Barr tweeted was disgusting, but are we supposed to spend all week talking about her? Barr paid the price but why is Joy Reid still around with her homophobic attacks? Why is the Jew hater Louis Farrakhan still around? Later, former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice’s son, John David Rice-Cameron, started his conservative journey when he listened to Rush Limbaugh in middle school and then found his “political hero” Mark Levin. He is intellectually curious and Mark uses his books, TV and radio shows to bring conservatism to the table and make you think about things like our founders and philosophy.

On Monday’s Mark Levin show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin. The New York Times exposed a secret cabal of FBI agents who used flimsy information to investigate President Trump’s campaign in 2016, codenamed Crossfire Hurricane. The Obama administration started their coup attempt against President Trump months before the election as a failsafe in case Trump won. The FBI would never conduct a secret investigation of a Democrat candidate, yet Loretta Lynch’s Department of Justice and James Comey’s FBI engaged in Soviet-style surveillance tactics of Trump and his campaign with no hard evidence. This is a scandal the likes of which this nation has never seen before, and it’s constantly being obstructed by Democrats and covered up by the media. Also, the official position of the Department of Justice is that you cannot indict a sitting president. Robert Mueller’s investigation has been about impeaching Trump since day one, serving the interests of the Democrat party while renegade Republicans protect Mueller. The Constitution is Trump’s best friend, and he needs to wrap himself in it to protect the office of the President. Finally, Mark speaks with Bret Baier about his new book, Three Days in Moscow: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of the Soviet Empire.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, We honor the fallen men and women who fought for our principles this Memorial Day. Those that fought for our Declaration of Independence and for our Constitution. Yet we have a progressive movement that rejects all of it, natural law and unalienable rights from our Creator. Our first amendment ,religious liberties, freedom of speech, freedom association, and press. So what is meant by freedom of the press and what is its purpose? Is it to challenge public officials, protect the republic, or objectively report what they loosely call news? What if the press is contributing to the deterioration of liberty or the deterioration of a constitutional republic and the institutions that undergird it? You can’t possibly watch Jake Tapper, Don Lemon, Wolf Blitzer or Brian Stelter or virtually all of the hosts on CNN and draw the conclusion that these individuals have, as their purpose, to inform us as opposed to lecture us. Today's media has become a power unto itself, not offering much in the area of objectivity while lecturing us rather than informing us. Only giving voice to their own ideological positions. Also, Hollywood's former power-player and Democrat fundraiser, Harvey Weinstein, turns himself into police for sexual assault charges. Powerful producers, directors and studios in Hollywood covered up for Weinstein. This is an indictment of Weinstein and the culture in Hollywood. Finally, Mark reiterated his comments from March of 2017 questioning why and how they surveilled Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the spring of 2016.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin show, The extent to which the American media hates America and speaks with one progressive radical voice is troubling. The media says they are defending themselves under the first amendment when they go against President Trump and say they have never seen a President like this. But this wouldn’t have been possible without Barack Obama who actually targeted journalists. Obama abused the media and the freedom of the press more than any modern president and he’s celebrated by the media. Trump hasn’t done any of that and yet he’s said to threaten freedom of the press because he defends himself against the media attacks. When Hillary lost the election the media rose up and they want to remove Trump because he fights back; they want you to think he’s mentally unstable and moronic but he’s not. Also, Trump has handled the North Korean situation beautifully. Three Americans were released, the Navy is positioned and three aircrafts are positioned off the peninsula of Korea. We have economic sanctions in place – Trump is doing everything he can to protect us. Finally, the NFL was right to require players to stand and those that don’t should stand inside and not come back out. It's the players that need to love their fans not the sports media that needs to love the players. NFL hall of famer and actor Fred Dryer calls in to discuss the new NFL rule on standing during the national anthem.

On Wednesdays Mark Levin Show, with so much at stake we must respond to claims that are inaccurate. Some television judicial analysts, such as Judge Andrew Napolitano, are unfamiliar with the Constitution. Robert Mueller’s appointment violates the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Given the power that Mueller is exercising and the fact that Rod Rosenstein is not supervising his work directly, it is inaccurate to classify him as an inferior officer in the Department of Justice. He qualifies as a principal officer, a class of federal official like a United States attorney that the Supreme Court has ruled must be appointed by the president and confirmed with consent of the U.S. Senate. Also, Napolitano needs to produce the DOJ memo from the late 1990's that cites a president can be indicted. He can’t because it does not exist. Later, there’s a myth that President Trump somehow violated the norms of the presidency by meeting with Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray and ordering an investigation into how his campaign may have been spied on by the Obama administration during the 2016 election. But past presidents, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and others, have directly ordered investigations because that’s the power of the presidency. Trump has done nothing like Washington, Adams, Jefferson or Jackson did. Not even close, and look how they trash him.
