The Best Of Mark Levin - 2/22/25

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.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Some in the media have quickly claimed that the Republicans are for Russia and compared the arrest of Maria Butina to Alger Hiss. No, the Republicans aren’t facing an Alger Hiss moment. Hiss was an American working for the FDR administration, Butina was a Russian spy assisting the Russians. Also, President Trump is now readying a plan for $12 billion to help farmers affected by the administrations tariffs. If tariffs work government should put it on everything and make it 50%. A tariff is a tax on the American people and an attack on capitalism. The administration should pull together our allies and focus on true enemy who is stealing our technology – China. Why would this administration tax the American people to punish another country? Do you hear how irrational that sounds? Why are certain industries protected and not others? Welfare for farmers doesn't make America great again. America First is all about liberty and private property rights and capitalism Tariffs destroy jobs in all industries despite protecting certain industries. Socialist like Bernie Sanders support these policies which is not America first. This isn't about supporting Trump or not or whose political team you’re on, it’s about understanding economics so we don't go through another depression. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump is the most investigated man in American history by every level of government and every news operation, and yet they have nothing on him. The constant assault on Trump and the absolute disrespect for the office of the President is unwarranted. It’s a clear effort to destroy him and anyone associated with him, and it’s an attack on the American people who voted for him. The media isn’t the enemy of the people but some reporters are when they distort the news. They don’t believe in freedom of the press; they believe in propaganda of the press. Also, the FISA court needs to be abolished and replaced because it has failed miserably. FISA judges are supposed to be more than a rubber stamp, but that’s exactly what they were in issuing warrants to spy on Trump. It was a plan concocted by the Hillary Clinton campaign which led to the Steele dossier, which was then used to acquire the warrants. What the FISA court has done is an absolute scandal. Finally, Mark reflects on his interview with Mike Huckabee on Life, Liberty, and Levin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
