10/8/26 - The Inside-Out Game: Media Leaks and Political Investigations

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the media aggressively target President Trump, his cabinet, and other administration officials through stories based on anonymous sources, which are often coordinated with Democrats and bureaucrats as part of an inside-outside game to undermine the administration. These stories are examples of pseudo news designed to advance ideological agendas and damage reputations. There’s a New York Times article involving Mark’s stepson, a senior adviser to Ambassador Mike Huckabee in Israel, and it reflects a familiar pattern in which entrenched State Department bureaucrats leak information and attempt to sabotage the policies of the Trump administration. Also, Michele Tafoya calls in with an update on her Senate race in Minnesota. Many voters are open to crossing party lines because they’re deeply frustrated and eager for change. The biggest issues facing Minnesota are the massive taxpayer fraud that allowed billions of dollars to disappear, a rise in crime and gang violence that has shaken communities, and an education system where too many students are failing to meet grade-level standards in reading and math. Later, AG Letitia James pursued investigations into President Trump and those around him despite claims from a whistleblower that investigators repeatedly found no evidence of wrongdoing. According to prosecutor Daniel Wiesenfeld, his supervisors acknowledged there was no case but said the investigation continued because it was ultimately James’ decision, leading him to believe prosecutors were being directed to find crimes after targeting specific individuals rather than following evidence. This violates basic legal and ethical principles. If such practices continue, more politically motivated investigations will follow, diverting attention and resources away from other issues while fueling partisan conflict. Finally, Brian Kilmeade calls in to discuss his new book, Uniting the States: Six Crucial Moments That Forged the American Miracle – Six Founders Who Shaped America's Revolutionary Democracy.
