Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 12/31/24

On Friday’s Mark Levin show, the biggest problems with communism and socialism are essentially based on class warfare. Specifically, how in the world can anyone properly define which class is supposed to rise up, subjugate the one above them, and become the new privileged class in the first place? While this problem is a significant one, it’s only the beginning their problems. Also, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez once claimed to be a student of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and said that healthcare was the intersection of money and people. Conveniently, some of her writings from a college publication have conveniently disappeared from the college publication's website. Later, it's day four of Paul Manafort's trial. Judge T.S. Ellis reminds Robert Mueller that the government must prove that Manafort knew the requirement of reporting his status and taxes on a separate form for his work as foreign agent. Prosecutors are making their case that Manafort wears expensive clothes and had carried some debt. Ellis reminded the Mueller team that the standard of proof was not his expenses but rather his knowing disregard for the legal requirements he's accused of violating. Finally, Dinesh D'Souza calls in to discuss his new movie – Death of a Nation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, The media is reporting more on themselves than on legitimate news, and then claim they are under attack. They have abandoned a pretense of seeking objectivity for progressivism, while insisting to represent a free press. They’re devouring what they self-servingly claim to defend. If the media want to be treated with respect as a profession, as a crucial part of the American culture, then they should treat the American people with respect. This isn’t even about President Trump, he fights back, he’s their latest target. This is about the media, and the disrespect they show tens of millions of Americans. The problem is that the media will not address its own unprofessionalism. Also, Democrats keep saying that Trump’s tweet telling Jeff Sessions to stop this Robert Mueller witch hunt is obstruction of justice. These democrats are sending messages to Mueller and his team encouraging him to charge Trump with obstruction. They want Mueller to know that he will have the backing of the media and democrats if he does this. Later, Senator Marco Rubio has introduced legislation to modernize social security. Allowing workers to access to Social Security benefits after the birth of a child and delaying their retirement time. However, social security is broke. If people take benefits earlier then they will have less money to begin with. The problem here is that this bill is a ruse because there's no money left in the trust fund.

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump is both the president as well as a citizen, but the media and democrats want to make the case that Trump isn’t free to control the executive branch. They’re calling Trump’s tweet saying Jeff Sessions should stop the rigged witch hunt an obstruction of justice – do they even know what obstruction is? Over 60 million people voted for Donald Trump, and now a small group of establishment elites are trying to undo the entire election. Also, Robert Mueller and his attorneys are trying to create the narrative against Paul Manafort, but the judge in the case isn’t having it. The prosecution kept using the word “oligarch” when describing Manafort and tried to use his expensive suits as proof he was evading his taxes – and the judge threw it out. The early skepticism could spell trouble for Mueller. Later, Iran is threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a move that would have major impact on international shipping. When the U.S. slashes military spending and lets its guard down, we tend to have wars. The media continues to ignore real issues like Iranian aggression while obsessing over Trump tweets in an effort to push their ideological agenda. Finally, Mark speaks with David Harsanyi of The Federalist about the panic over 3-D printed guns. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, It’s concerning how many people claim to support liberty and individualism while rejecting it entirely. The idea of a big centralized government is being embraced by people who pretend they’re not embracing it. Globalism has nothing to do with the denunciation of capitalism – it is a global economic system and the United States would be a destitute country without it. Progressivism has clearly conquered the Democrat party, but now it’s starting to conquer the Republican party too. Also, President Trump is not a perfect man but he is a remarkable president. Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and Ronald Reagan signed an amnesty bill; they weren’t perfect but they are still two of our greatest presidents. The history books will be very kind to President Trump. Finally, Mark speaks with Greg Gutfeld about his book, The Gutfeld Monologues: Classic Rants from The Five. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein must comply with and enforce the rules, regulations, and procedures of the Department of Justice, which includes the official position of the DOJ that a sitting president cannot be indicted. If Mueller tries to indict Trump, he would be violating the orders of his superiors and create a constitutional crisis. If Democrats and the media were concerned about the constitution and separation of powers they would be raising these issues. Also, Michael Cohen should be disbarred for his secret recordings of President Trump, but that isn’t stopping CNN from propping him up despite being absolutely disreputable. There’s no obstruction of justice or campaign violations, yet Cohen’s recordings are being endlessly debated. Later, Mark recaps his interview with Lt. Col. Allen West on Life, Liberty, and Levin.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the media are a depressing element in our society. Even when there is positive news on the GDP or unemployment, they attack. Is the purpose of a free press to be like Don Lemon and Brian Stelter of CNN? Of course not. It’s to strengthen the American society because the government is the opinion of the people. What's happening now is an era of unenlightenment. When we look at what passes as news today, we see pornstars, failed authors, and Michael Cohen. Freedom of the press was not intended for egomaniacs to promote a particular ideology. Newspapers and pamphleteers during the Revolution strengthened America, but that's not what they do today, because Statist progressives reject the enlightenment. Later, Rep Jim Jordan calls in to announce his run for Speaker of the House. We need new leadership because the current leadership doesn’t make the case for conservatism.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin show, Yes, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should be impeached. Congress, the most powerful branch of government, the branch with oversight power, has a constitutional duty to exercise that power over the other two branches when circumstances demand action. If Congress waited around for Trump to fire Rosenstein the Democrats and the media would demand that Trump be impeached for firing Rosenstein. Later, apparently Freedom of the press rests on the shoulders of CNN reporter Kaitlyn Collins. If she doesn’t get to ask her questions where and when she wants then it’s an assault on all reporters. The media is free to cover Trump, in fact they never stop covering him. The press was invited to the oval office but is not entitled to shout out questions in an attempt to gain popularity by appearing to be tough on the president. We have big issues that need concentrated reporting and are ignored. Yet the so-called media outlets are obsessed with Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, it’s great that President Trump announced that his administration and the European Union president will work toward zero tariffs and zero subsidies – this has always been the Levin position! If it happens, this will ultimately result in a more prosperous America, rather than seek protectionist tariffs to shield American industries against global competition. Then, the pseudo media always tries to drive the narrative that Trump's dealings with former lawyer Michael Cohen are a violation of campaign law. But, we hear from Bradley Smith, the former Chairman of the Federal Election Commission, saying he's done nothing wrong. Later, the media continues to malign Trump despite asking off-topic questions of the President; asking about Michael Cohen during his meeting on tariffs with the President of the European Union. The purpose of a free press and a press conference is not for the press, it’s for the American people, and the press are not our representatives, especially when they take sides. But when individuals like Kaitlan Collins and Jim Acosta from CNN abuse the process, to push an agenda and embarrass the president, we've clearly missed the mark. Finally, Gregg Jarrett calls in to discuss his new book - The Russia Hoax: The Illicit Scheme to Clear Hillary Clinton and Frame Donald Trump. Learn more about your ad choices.
