Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 12/31/24

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, new details obtained from a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that Hunter Biden’s Ukrainian gas firm pressured former President Obama's State Department to end corruption allegations against Burisma from Britain and the U.S. There's lots more information on Hunter Biden in this new report but the Democrats in the press won't report on this because they are too busy pushing the notion that President Trump has obstructed justice — even though Congress doesn't have the authority to violate the separation of powers. Of course, the Senate can summarily dismiss these bogus charges and we the citizenry can change the makeup of the house by voting, short of that it’s a frustrating waiting game. At no other time in American history has Congress used subpoenas as the basis for an impeachment case. Historically, these matters have been negotiated by Congress and the White House, but when the entire process is a plot with no interest in negotiating any compromise it creates a crisis because there is no commitment to the rule of law. Then, Rep Adam Schiff says we don't need the Whistleblower but the problem is Schiff himself is a material witness because he colluded with the whistleblower and hired former Obama-era White House National Security staffers who briefly served under Trump and now work on the Intelligence committee he chairs in Congress. Then, Congresswoman Katie Hill erred in judgment and shouldn't have served in Congress. It was an abuse of her office, not a question of millennials versus other ages. Afterward, author Randy Barnett calls in to discuss his new book, "An Introduction to Constitutional Law: 100 Supreme Court Cases Everyone Should Know." Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. Flip-flopping Beto O'Rourke — who once supported guns when he ran against Sen. Ted Cruz and now says "hell yes we're going to take your AR-15 and AK-47"— has ended his presidential campaign. Candidates like Beto wouldn't exist if it wasn't for President Trump; they've taken these far-left socialist positions because of the success of Trump's bluntness. Beto was an experiment of how far left the Democrat Party can go before turning off their base. Then, despite Speaker Pelosi's rhetoric about not wanting to impeach Trump, many Democrats are on record saying they want to impeach him in order to beat him. Recent polling shows that 52% of Americans do not support impeachment. So impeachment is likely to backfire and help re-elect Trump by even stronger margins than 2016. Later, Joe Biden bashes Elizabeth Warren over her radical tax increases associated with her campaign proposals. Afterward, new jobs numbers are in and there are more Americans working now than ever before, in the case of African Americans.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, this program has maintained that it's crucial for the American people to know the identity and background of the so-called whistleblower. Several publications have cited a CIA employee, Eric Caiaramella, with ties to President Obama, Joe Biden, John Brennan and the Democrat Party, including an operative from Ukraine who dug up dirt on Trump in 2016. According to Paul Sperry of Real Clear Investigations, a former CIA Analyst assigned to the White House until he circumvented the chain of command regarding meetings that President Trump had and was suspected of leaking them prior to his departure from the National Security Council. Media reports indicate that GOP Members have questioned whether Ciaramella was involved with Lt Col. Vindman and lawyers for the Democrats indicated that Ciaramella was of no consequence. What we're witnessing are Stalinesque tactics to take down the President, and cover up the cabal of those involved. The beauty of our litigation practice, not the circus the Democrats are conducting, is that the accused have a right to defend themselves, a right to question their accuser and a right to their records and evidence. That's why the Democrats are changing the rules. As part of the 2016 investigation, it should be determined if there were any violations of the Espionage Act and the so-called whistleblower should be questioned by US Attorney Durham. Later, Alcee Hasting is an impeached federal judge that was removed from office and is now in Congress making impeachment rules. While Tom Morrison testified saying there was no quid pro quo corroborating what Ukranian President Zelensky said as well. both on substance and process this whole thing is a sham as the democrats are simply working toward a pre-determined outcome. Afterward, Virginia State Majority Leader Todd Gilbert calls in to explain the importance of Tuesday's Assembly elections. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the California fire fighters courageously saved the Reagan library from the easy fire in Simi valley. Look at what the democrats have done to California, you can’t even take out underbrush to prevent fires. Blackouts, brownouts and deferred maintenance lead to disaster and that's what America can look forward to if the Democrats take over. Lamentably, just outside the Capitol in Fairfax County, which was once deep red in its politics, is no longer a safe community with great public schools but trudging toward becoming a deep blue sanctuary state as more and more illegal aliens flood the area. MS-13 gang members have been tied to multiple crimes and while school taxes have gone up the quality of life has gone down. Virginia is becoming California in the name of equity because it is equity that they use to quash dissent. Assimilation is to the English language is key to maintaining parity in our republic. Then, our doubts about the whistleblower have been accurate and the democrats keep playing politics with Lt. Col Alexander Vindman's testimony. Despite the outrageous report from the New York Times that Vindman, who was born in Ukraine, was advising the Ukrainian government on how to deal with President Trump and did so in Ukrainian, at times. It is entirely appropriate to question his motives. Later, Sen. Mazie Hirono berates Ken Cuccinelli, Director of the Citizenship and Immigration Services in a hearing, suggesting that he is implementing white supremacist policies at the agency. Finally, Lee Smith calls in to discuss his new book, The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin show, this is not called an impeachment resolution, it’s simply a resolution. This matters because an actual resolution for an impeachment inquiry would confer rights to the President and minority Members of Congress. This is another parliamentary sleight-of-hand that raises separation of powers issues with the Judiciary Committee acting on behalf of the whole Congress. Moreover, the secret testimony given by Army Officer Lt. Col. Vindman has no bearing on this case because there is no substantive change to the transcribed memo of the call. Meanwhile, President Trump's critics call for civility toward Col. Vindman despite never offering the same toward Lt General Mike Flynn. The facts remain unchanged; Trump has not done nothing wrong in asking a fellow head of state to work with the US Attorney General is looking into an ongoing investigation. It is the right and prerogative of any President to ask anyone they want for their assistance in matters of foreign policy — there is nothing illegal or impeachable about such "irregular" involvement from Rudy Giuliani, despite Amb. Bill Taylor's testimony. What's most irregular is that corrupt actors in Ukraine actually helped dig up dirt on Trump for Hillary Clinton's campaign and this smokescreen is simply a cover-up. Then, Julian Castro suggests blackmail and a 'carrot and stick' quid pro quo approach to providing security support to Israel, in which he Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sen Bernie Sanders basically outline the 'this for that' nature of their 'conditions' of providing foreign aid to Israel. Later, a brief history of the judicial notice filed by Landmark Legal Foundation which began the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton for the 11 felonies he was cited for violating. Afterward, author and attorney David Limbaugh calls in to discuss his new book "Guilty By Reason of Insanity; Why The Democrats Must Not Win." Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, credit must be given to the U.S. military and President Trump on taking out ISIS Leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. During the Obama administration, then-president Obama had the exact coordinates for a targeted drone strike on Baghdadi but he refused to authorize the strike due to new rules implemented by the State Department during the Obama years. Yet, the media won't mention any of that, they're just too concerned with criticizing Trump and asking whether or not he told Speaker Nancy Pelosi and why or why not. Even though General Tony Thomas has noted that a previous lead on Baghdadi was leaked to the New York Times and the ISIS chief got away. This is a monster who kidnapped, raped and beheaded American aid-worker Kayla Mueller and countless others and his demise is good for the whole world. Later, the Democrats will do anything they can to impeach Trump from their secret hearings with no due process, to not taking a vote in the inquiry, to vilifying every single thing Trump has done or spoken. Thanks to the pushback of Republican Members, the House will take up a vote on the impeachment inquiry and announce new rules yet again, despite the lack of due process and the damage already done by it.

On Friday’s Mark Levin show, CNN’s Jake Tapper is the Walter Durante of our time yet he says nothing about freedom of the press being obstructed by the secretive depositions being conducted solely by Democrats in the House of Representatives. When Jim Acosta lost his White House press credentials CNN hired a powerhouse law firm, but when Democrats in the House blocked the press, where's the lawsuit? Tapper purports that when the GOP had the majority they too held private interviews instead of public testimony, however, this unfair comparison is that an impeachment inquiry must be compared to the other previous impeachment inquiries of Presidents Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton. The process is important and they must be compared fairly, especially since the facts are in dispute and the un-tested testimony taken in secret is not available to the public or the press, except for the opening statements that have been selectively leaked to the media. Yes, process matters! Then, Andrew McCabe retired in disgrace after the Inspector General’s report exposed him and he's currently under criminal investigation. James Clapper and John Brennan should also be placed under oath and questioned too. Later, the media's polls are skewed because they have no access to the information, to the facts from this secret impeachment inquiry so they are formulating their opinion to support or oppose impeachment from leaks in the media. The investigators are not investigating the investigators, they are investigating what intelligence officials in the Obama administration did to interfere in 2016 with help from the pro-Russia Ukrainians that were helping her campaign. Afterward, General Michael Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell joins the show to discuss their latest legal filing charging several government officials with egregious government misconduct.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Sen. Linsdey Graham has stepped up and made the case to hold the House accountable for not voting on opening an actual impeachment inquiry with an actual vote. Graham calls in to discuss his Senate Resolution condemning the House of Representatives. Then, NBC News reports that Hunter Biden's legal work in Romania may have been ethically problematic. It seems that Hunter Biden was paid again by foreigners for his alleged expertise in Romanian law. Surprisingly, there have been no requests for Hunter to testify in front of any congressional committees. Later, Democrats cry foul about GOP Members of the house-entering their secure interrogation even though they immediately relinquished their cell phones upon entering. What's worse is that despite the transcripts of these deficient testimonies being released at some eventual point, the damage to due process has already occurred. Also, Elizabeth Warren must be investigated in a quid pro quo for the statement that "everything is on the table" regarding her foreign policy proposals regarding a "two-state" solution for Israel. Afterward, former NFL player and actor Fred Dryer and Lisa Riggins calls in to discuss the NFL’s 2020 collective bargaining agreement and ensure pension parity for pre-1993 players.
