Mitch McConnell is sending Republicans to try and cut a 2nd amendment deal with Democrats so that he will look like a successful leader if legislation passes. Why are pro-gun Republicans trying to give the Obama administration gun-grabbing power? Susan Collins’ gun proposal would allow the Attorney General to deny an American a gun purchase if they simply fit the criteria of being on a watch list. If you want to appeal the government’s denial you then have to sue the government. Who has the time or money to do that? Later, Pew Research projects that by 2055 there will be no ethnic majority in America. Is this what we want as a country? Balkanization and lack of assimilation are part of this leftist agenda. We will have diversity, but that is not the purpose of a society. Also, Christians have shrunken as a percentage of the population. Christianity has been enormously tolerant to minority religions in this country. However, President Obama doesn’t defend it and the Supreme Court persecutes it. After that, both statists and progressive populists attack capitalism. The statists keep claiming that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, while they are destroying the middle class. The progressive populists want massive tariffs that will be a heavy tax for consumers. Finally, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, President & Founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy calls in to talk about the CAIR hate list.

Today we have a full-out assault on the bill of rights and on the second amendment. The whole point of the Bill of Rights and the 2nd Amendment is to protect Americans’ liberty. Why are our lawmakers debating these rather than discussing how we can truly protect the lives and livelihoods of law-abiding Americans. This attack is an excuse to turn a blind eye on a president who is unable and unwilling to uphold the law and keep America safe. Later, Donald Trump is right when it comes to profiling for terrorists among Muslims. Law enforcement has to profile to detect terrorists and can constitutionally do so. In addition, Trump’s negatives are high even among white males and are through the roof when it comes to Latinos and women. Neither Reince Priebus nor NeverTrump are to blame for this but Trump is. What Trump needs to do is unite the Republican Party and stop reaching out to Bernie Sanders supporters. After that, the radical front group for Hamas, CAIR, is comparing conservative groups and others who oppose radical Islam to the Klu Klux Clan. CAIR claims that those who oppose them are hate mongering bigots yet they are the true bigots.

What kind of legislation would have stopped the mass murder in Orlando? The answer is no legislation. Democrats can’t name a single proposal that would have prevented what happened and none of the left’s proposals will fix anything. In fact, the left’s rules are making these security threats more prevalent. There was a 2011 guideline put in place by the Obama administration that directs federal agents to drop terror investigations after six months. Would repealing that guideline make a difference? Why won’t the left do that? Because politics first. The bottom line for the left is power and taking our civil liberties away makes individuals more reliant on the federal government. Also, tens of thousands of people have died because of CAFE standards and lighter vehicles. These standards have been responsible for the deaths of 46,000 Americans since 1975. Instead of loosening these standards, the Obama Administration is having them increased by 2025. This will result in more slaughter on our highways. It is clear that liberals don’t believe in answers, but believe in more government. Later, religious liberty in this country is used more to protect Muslims than it is to protect Christians. There would be no national debate if a Muslim baker refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding, yet there is an outcry and persecution against Christians over this issue. Finally, Darryl Glenn calls in to talk about his run for Senate in Colorado and the primary on June 28.

President Obama is responsible for ensuring American’s safety, and protecting the Bill of Rights and Constitution. Instead of doing this, Obama is campaigning against Americans and the Second Amendment. In addition, the radical Muslim and mass murderer, Omar Mateen, received full background checks for a security contractor position and passed. He was also placed on an FBI watch list and then removed. The whole notion that a watch list would have stopped this guy while the FBI had a file on him is ridiculous. Ironically, Matten was rejected for body armor but approved for more weapons. Later, who will defend the Bill of Rights? Right now it’s not Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, or the Democrats, but it is Ted Cruz. After that, there was no ISIS 15 years ago; Obama is responsible for the existence of ISIS as he supported the wrong group of people in Syria and simultaneously withdrew from Iraq. Finally, Grant Starrett calls in to talk about his run for Congress in Tennessee’s 4th district.

Republicans and Donald Trump are now moving to the left on gun control. They and the Democrats want to prevent people on the terror watch list from gaining access to guns. However, the Orlando shooting was not on the terror watch list at the time of the shooting. A terror watch list will not save America from more mass murder. In addition, the left is now speaking out against the AR-15 and wants it banned. However, the Orlando shooter did not even use an AR-15. The left doesn’t know one weapon from another. They don’t own guns and don’t think anyone else should. Later, why do we keep talking about the Constitution, opponents of liberty ask? The answer is, because that is what stands between us and tyranny. The Communist left knows that because it’s all about tyranny. Finally, Roger Simon calls in to talk about his new book, I Know Best: How Moral Narcissism is Destroying Our Republic, If It Hasn’t Already.

President Obama is now showing his anger – not to the radical Islamic terrorists – but to law-abiding American citizens. He really shows his anger when he's attacking Americans, but when it comes to the enemy he’s very monotone and soft-spoken. After three speeches following the Orlando terror attack, Obama has not once united the American people. Instead we get lectures about Islam and gun control. Also, the fact that Republicans can’t respond to Obama is appalling. There is not a leader among the so called leaders including Mitch McConnell. The only time they get angry is when they are attacking Ted Cruz. Later, there was a 6 month period in 2011, where Iraqi’s were prevented by the Obama Administration from coming into the U.S. because of terrorism. Now Obama considers this racist, but this is really about preserving the country not racism.

President Obama has no problem attacking Republicans or corporations by name, but when it comes to the greatest threat we face, Islamic terrorism, he won’t call by its name. Obama is the wrong man in office at the wrong time and is ideologically incapable of protecting the country. The best way to deal with this threat is to acknowledge it and destroy the enemy. In addition, Obama has disarmed this country when it comes to military and law enforcement. Their hands are tied by purposeful ignorance and leftist idealism. After that, the FBI left stones unturned when it came to preventing this mass shooting in Orlando. The terrorist, Omar Mateen, was interviewed by the FBI in 2013 and was on a terror watch list. However, the FBI cleared him and he was able to purchase guns. Later, we now have creeping Sharia law in this country. Free speech, non-islamic religions and gays are under attack by radical Islamists. Finally, John Lott, President of Crime Prevention Research calls in discuss the shooting which occurred in another gun-free zone.

Donald Trump is trying to recover from his latest comments but he is a man of many missteps. He may have gotten away with this in the Republican primary, but he won’t in the general election. The Republican primary turned out to be a disaster and Trump is limping to the nomination. None of the issues important to conservatives are front and center; there’s no discussion about liberty, Constitution, national security, cutting government or deficit spending. If Trump loses it won’t be because of conservatives or Ted Cruz, it will be because of Trump and his surrogates. Also, why doesn’t Trump reach out to conservatives instead of reaching out to Bernie Sanders supporters because they agree on trade. If he and Sanders people agree on trade does that means Trump is against capitalism? Finally, Kansas voters favor Hillary over Trump and 21% are undecided. If Republicans can’t win in Kansas, where can they win?

The liberal response in America to the terrorist attack in Tel Aviv has left no doubt that the modern Democratic Party is filled with deep anti-Semitism. The Obama administration raised concerns about how Israel might respond. How come every time Israel gets attacked, Israel gets lectured? The Palestinians are not satisfied with living in peace side by side with Israel, they don’t want them to exist. When it comes to Israel, the Obama Administration is willing to consider them expendable. Later, the Democrat Party is an anti-American and anti-Constitution party. However, when Democrats are challenged, they immediately run to the Bill of Rights. In addition, populist agrarians who support Trump can’t point to any ten year period where massive tariffs brought jobs back to the U.S. Also, Ronald Reagan said over and over he wasn’t a protectionist and vetoed protectionist bills. The few tariffs he did raise were exceptions and not the rule. Finally, Josh Earnest confirms that Hillary Clinton is facing a criminal investigation into her email scandal. Now we can really talk about a historic moment – Hillary is the first major party nominee who is under federal criminal investigation.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin show, Tom Marr of Baltimore's WCBM fills in for Mark. The Islamists have struck again with another terror attack in Tel Aviv, Israel. Four innocent people were killed, one shooter was arrested and the other was wounded. This shows that terrorists can’t be negotiated with and need to be dealt with. In addition, we keep hearing that ISIS is losing, but the facts suggest otherwise. The Islamic State is currently the main threat against the U.S. according to the FBI which currently has at least 1,000 ISIS related cases open. After that, the Iran Nuclear Deal is the worst agreement ever. The only reason it got through was because of Sens. Bob Corker and Ben Cardin. The whole thing is unpatriotic and Donald Trump should keep in mind Corker’s role in getting the Iran Deal approved. Finally, Betsy McCaughey calls in to talk about the Zika Virus and its effects.
