Dan Bongino, Contributing Editor at Conservative Review fills in for Mark. The left wing fringe kooks are winning the culture war but losing so badly where it counts — politics and elections. The leftist manufactured rage, like the extreme animosity toward statues that most people never knew existed just a month ago, works to move culture, but at the end of the day, leftists have zero substance or solutions. They sell you anger, and rage. That’s all they have! They can’t run honestly on what they stand for, because what they stand for is a bevy of loser positions. At least conservatives and libertarians stand for something, the left is just standing for outrage. We can’t continue as a Constitutional Republic as long as we have a fringe element that believes America is the problem. In addition, Hurricane Harvey is making landfall in Texas and is going to be a destructive storm. Harvey has been upgraded to a Category 4 as of Friday night and is closing in on Corpus Christi. If your local authorities tell you to evacuate, get out. Later, Colin Kaepernick doesn’t deserve respect. The guy wore socks that depicted police as pigs and a Castro T-shirt. He and those kneeling down, should get up and do something to help the community rather than disrespect the national anthem and the flag. Finally, President Trump pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio and we can expect the left to lose their minds over this.

Mitch McConnell is deceiving Americans when he says that if we don’t the raise debt ceiling the government will default. This is out of control propaganda as it falls under the 14th Amendment in the Constitution to pay the principle and the interest of the debt, not these government programs. There are billions of dollars to pay the debt service. Republicans and Democrats just want to raise the debt ceiling to fund Obamacare and continue to increase spending. Also, everyone is concerned that we are going to default if there is a government shutdown, but that is not true. Over 80% of the government which is considered essential keeps running. There have been many government shutdowns and nothing horrific ever occurred during them. We are not talking about essentials but non-essential operations. Later, Daniel Horowitz of Conservative Review calls to talk about Voter ID laws. The idea that people can’t get access to photo ID’s in this country is false as they are widespread. Leftwing Democrat judges are pressing stereotypes when they reject these laws. This is a very serious problem because the judges are codifying this into the Civil Rights Act. Finally, if you understand progressivism, you will know that it is always attacking our institutions. This anti-history movement dressed up as a social movement is just another attack on them. Why don’t journalists like Nicholas Kristof at the New York Times cover this? Kristof works for a newspaper that tried to cover up the Holocaust in the middle of World War II. Conservatives condemn neo-Nazis and KKK, but Kristof does not condemn the violence of BLM and ANTIFA. What Kristof and the left are trying to pin on Trump with regards to racism is ridiculous. Kristof is not a journalist, but is engaging in character assassination.

President Trump in Phoenix was fantastic and gave a great speech. The real dishonest people are in the fake media. You would think the media wants to make the country great again but they don’t. They are the source of the division in this country, rather than tell the truth they prefer ratings and clicks. If the only thing that Trump does is expose the media he will have been a successful president. The media try to present themselves as a nonpartisan outlet but that is not true. Now they are out of the closet and we know the truth about them. It is time in this country that we had a national discussion about the behavior, lies, and partisanship of the media. The media hate Trump because he used to be one of them, but he rejected all of that. This media includes Don Lemon, Joe Scarborough, George Stephanopoulos, Ana Navarro and others. Joe Scarborough befriended Trump and his family and supported him early on in the campaign. Now the Morning Joe is an Independent and no longer a Republican. Now he just attacks Trump. According to Scarborough, Trump supporters all have the problems but he and Mika Brzezinski are just fine. After that, conservative are not destroying statues but the left is. The Democrat Party is trying to whitewash its history when it comes to destroying Confederate statues. You don’t start sand blasting history because you don’t agree with it. For the most part it should all stay. Later, Mark endorses Kelli Ward for U.S. Senate in Arizona against Jeff Flake. The difference between Flake and Ward is that Ward stands for something and has principles. Ward will be a conservative vote in the Senate and will not vote in Mitch McConnell as the Republican Senate leader. What is more offensive, Ward talking about chemtrails or McConnell ruining the debt ceiling?

President Trump’s Afghanistan speech was strong and solid and utterly different from any that Barack Obama gave or that the John McCain would give. Trump is trying to reverse what Obama, Democrats and Republicans did to our military. He is taking advice from real generals and not pretend generals who are yes men. Trump is not duped by the McCain wing of the Republican Party, but is engaged and trying to make the right decision. It is false to say that Trump is only as smart as his advisors. After that, former Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton, calls in to discuss Afghanistan. If Afghanistan were to return to pre-9/11 terror levels we would have trouble. We are not going to engage in nation building; our mission there is to protect us and if we don’t do it no one else will. Finally, Mitch McConnell is doubting whether Trump can save his presidency. McConnell has been threatening conservatives and the Trump agenda from day one. McConnell is out there like a mob boss trying to knock off any conservative that wants to defeat an incumbent Republican. It is time for McConnell to resign if he can’t be a positive force for change. He is out of the closet in trying to handicap this presidency.

Do we support the Bill of Rights? It’s crucially important for liberty today – the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. All of these amendments were drafted in part by slave owners. Do we now burn the Bill of Rights? This is the insanity of the Left’s march against the nation’s history. Where does it end? And who gets to decide what gets erased and what doesn’t? Also, the media and liberals don’t mind violence if it comes from the left. They defend antifa and black lives matters. Why? Violence is violence. Whatever hoods or masks these groups wear, street violence undermines the civil society and should be condemned. Our principles tell us to condemn all of the violence but for the left you have to choose, but we don’t pick sides - we reject them all. Later, despite the calls for Confederate monuments to be removed, nobody is talking about why we had the Civil War in the first place. Revisionists want you to hate Abraham Lincoln and say the Civil War wasn’t about slavery; it was about slavery and to keep the Union together. Finally, when Colin Kaepernick gets on 1 knee during the National Anthem, he looks like a spoiled millionaire athlete. These athletes who are doing this are destroying their fan base and there will come a point where fans will move on.

On Friday's Mark Levin show, Bill Cunningham fills in for Mark. Trump loyalist Steve Bannon was fired on Friday. This is on top of Rex Tillerson’s speech against hate, Bob Corker calling President Trump incompetent, Carl Icahn distancing himself from Trump, and the five Joint Chiefs of Staff attacking Trump. In addition, the media is totally invested in destroying the President. They fail to focus on all the good things Trump has done. Would Hillary Clinton have approved the Keystone Pipeline, created more than 1 million jobs in the past 7 months or deported violent illegal aliens? Trump has done many good things. However if you watched NBC, MSNBC, CNN or CBS, you would think that the country is in total collapse. Also, CNN only spent 3 minutes on covering ANTIFA. ANTIFA talks about anarchy and hating fascism. However, they are the definition of fascism. After that, Trump should leave the Republican Party, because Republicans have left Trump. Americans voted for Trump not because he was a Republican but because he stood for change. In addition, where does the destruction of Confederate statues all end? Al Sharpton wants to change the name of Washington D.C. and the left wants to get rid of the Constitution. Should the state of Washington have its name changed to Jesse Jackson or Che Guevara? Just look at Germany and what was left from WWII. Auschwitz and other concentration camps still exist. There was not an effort to get rid of that horror as the purpose was for these places to serve as a reminder for what took place.

On Thursday's Mark Levin show, a horrific attack took place on Thursday in Barcelona, Spain with 13 murdered and 100 injured. A terrorist there ran over pedestrians with a van. This terror attack is tied to an explosion from a bomb making house that occurred in Alcanar, Spain on Wednesday night. It is not clear how many attackers were involved. Two suspects have been arrested but the driver of the van has not been found. In addition, Wolf Blitzer and Jim Sciutto on CNN believe that Charlottesville and Barcelona may be linked. Sciutto says the shared tactics in both Barcelona and Charlottesville should be alarming. Blitzer speculates if Barcelona was a copycat attack. They have no factual information or evidence of any sort to tie the attacks together. This type of terror attack has been going on for some time in Europe. It is appalling, disgraceful, and embarrassing that there is a news outlet in this country that conducts itself in this fashion. Does ISIS need to see what is taking place in Charlottesville to know what to do? Also, Communists want to destroy the whole notion of property rights because they are built on injustice and one immoral system after another. This is what is taking place with ANTIFA and the left in this country. The left will not condemn these people because of their underlying ideology. Factions like ANTIFA and BLM seek a full revolution and to turn over our Constitutional system. They seek to do this as much as the Neo Nazis and Klansmen. We must not ignore this other force that has voice in media, in Hollywood and in academics. Later, Maria Chappelle-Nadal, part of the Missouri State Senate, posted a Facebook comment that she hopes that Trump will be assassinated, which she later deleted. This is the left with its poison. Finally, Bob Corker is a man who sold out the country with the Iran Deal. Corker made it possible, along with Barack Obama and Mitch McConnell, for Iran to make ICBMs for the next 10 years.

The mainstream media — specifically, The New York Times — who are falling over themselves to play to their rabid base in excoriating President Trump as a neo-Nazi sympathizer. Trump condemned both sides of the violence in Charlottesville, and the liberal media are aghast that he drew a moral equivalency between Alt-“Right” and Antifa. The media are telling us that if we condemn Antifa violence, we must actually support the neo-Nazis. We don’t support them and you don’t have to accept the mantra and insanity of the Left. Did Donald Trump ever try to deny the Holocaust? No. However, the New York Times buried the Holocaust in its pages during WWII. Yet they dare to write an editorial on Trump, blaming him for the violence in Charlottesville. Despite the Times’ failure it remains the record paper of the left. It took them 50 years to recognize their gross negligence yet Trump is attacked for adding to his statement within 48 hours. Also, the Democrat Party is the party of the Klan and was tied to the Klan for years. The Democrat party throughout history was a party of Klansmen and segregationists. In 1924, the Democrat Party refused to reject lynching. Democrats voted to make Robert Byrd the number two Democrat of the Senate and eventually made him Senate Majority leader in 1977. You think we would hear about this but Republicans are too cowardly to speak up. After that, we and the left reject Nazism and white supremacy. Will the left reject Marxism, National Socialism, the ideologies that murdered 10s of millions? Will they reject the Marxist ANTIFA who is causing mayhem? Finally, the government is arming the terrorist group Hezbollah. Given that Lebanon is controlled by Hezbollah and a client state of Iran doesn’t that mean we are arming Hezbollah? Yes it does. This defies the logic that the Lebanese government could maintain control over this shipment without it being confiscated by Hezbollah first. We are placing ourselves against our own interests and aiding our enemies such as Iran.

President Trump at Trump tower asked the same question Mark asked, if the left is going get rid of the Jefferson Memorial next. Why tear down statues of people who gave us freedom? Also, the Democrat party is official tied to Jim Crow, William Fulbright, Robert Byrd and Roger Taney and they should change their name. Look at the Democrat Party’s history. This is the same party that refused to condemn lynching in 1924 and the same party that failed to vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Al Sharpton talks about slavery yet he is a member of the Democrat Party. It was the Republican Party that led the battle against slavery and upheld the Union, won the Civil war and opposed segregation. Later, the press was very hostile to Trump at his press conference. The kept shouting over him and refused to even listen to what the President had to say. Did they ever do this when Obama sold out the country to the Islamo-regime in Iran? Did they ever shout down Obama? No. This is about the president and the American people, not about these media phony figures – leftists dressed up as journalists. In addition, just because the alt-right is clearly wrong, doesn’t mean we have to be blind to the violence of leftists groups such as ANTIFA. The media won’t educate the people about ANTIFA which is a collection of hateful anarchists. Do the media take any responsibility for fanning the flames of violence? Why didn’t they track down the leaders of the Neo-Nazis movement instead of attacking Trump? The media refuses to report what takes place. Later, the Obama team was warned of Russian interference in 2014. It seems Barack Obama was too busy interfering in Israel’s elections to monitor what was going on in our country.

The media is trying to tie President Trump to white supremacy after the violence in Charlottesville, VA. Trump is no white supremacist and his DOJ including, Jeff Sessions and the FBI are already investigating this incident. Nothing in Trump’s background demonstrates that he ever was a white supremacist or ever supported these hate groups. This is a flat out lie by the media. This event was instigated by the KKK, Neo-Nazis and other groups, which are a sick and hate filled people. While they are a very small fraction of the American population, even that is too much. It is incredible that the same media that spread racism and balkanization is sowing seeds of division yet again. You will never see the media condemn ANTIFA, a leftist hate group that was present in Charlottesville as well. To add, the Declaration of Independence tells us that God Almighty created us in His image and that every human being has a right to life liberty and happiness. Every single one of us no matter race, religion or creed has this right. The Founders gave us the Declaration of Independence because they knew that future generations would have to deal with slavery. The Neo Nazis, KKK and white supremacists do not represent a majority of white Americans in this country. After that, Mo Brooks calls in to talk about the Alabama primary being held on Tuesday. Brooks is conservative and is at a statistical tie in an internal poll with Luther Strange. Mitch McConnell wants Strange because he believes Strange will represent him. McConnell and other special interests have invested millions of dollars in Strange. Strange and McConnell are trying to portray Brooks as a supporter of ISIS and friend of Nancy Pelosi. This is absurd and false. We have to take out Mitch McConnell as the majority leader and put in someone who will be faithful to conservative values. The man who leads the failed Republican majority is trying to continue that failure by stopping Brooks.
