On Friday's Mark Levin Show: Brian Sussman of KSFO in San Francisco fills in for Mark. He talks about the targeted killing via a drone strike of terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki. He applauds the U.S. military and intelligence operations for carrying out the operation and also says that there was nothing wrong about killing him without due process as some others have argued for. Brian also discusses how the environmentalists are pushing for solar panels that don't even work and are costing the taxpayers even more money.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Mark talks about the Supreme Court and how we have liberal Justices that continue to move left and farther away from the Constitution. They are activist judges that don't believe in the Constitution and want to empower the federal government while stripping away the individual's rights. The idea that the Supreme Court has so much power that they can change the Constitution and make America for the worst is scary. Mark also talks about how President Obama is telling Congress to pass his job's bill, while Senator Dick Durbin is saying they don't have enough votes for the bill. The Democrat's can't even get their own party on the same terms.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: We bring you the Best of Mark Levin! Despite the best efforts from the Obama Administration and the Left, the American people do not hate each other. Just because we push back against a socialist agenda, does not mean that we hate America. We support the Constitution and want to bring back our principles of liberty and freedom in all sectors. Also, Mark talks about New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, your typical person that doesn't appreciate the Constitution and wants more regulations on the American people. Finally, we have Mark's take on Chris Christie and some new gaffes from President Obama to add to the list of mumblers.


September 27, 2011

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark is waiting for Chris Christie to announce he's running for President so Republican's can find out he's not conservative. Mark says that anyone who supports man-made global warming like Christie does, or won't fight against Obamacare like Christie is, will not receive Mark's support during the nomination process. Despite the establishment's efforts to divide us, we must remain strong and choose the best conservative candidate that believes in the Constitution and against big time government. For some reason our politicians are proposing economic policies that are devaluing our success rather than promoting it across the globe. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann calls in and talks about the current GOP field for the presidential nomination, job creation and repealing Obamacare.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Mark plays audio from President Obama’s town hall where he can't even get his own lies straight. Obama says to stop complaining, stop whining, and to march. Also, Obama answered a setup question from someone that worked at Google and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Democrat Party. This is why the American people, independents and conservatives are getting tired of Obama – the constant lies and the bickering that is going on. So many people have worked hard to create the greatest country in the world, and then we have Obama and his supporters trying to divide the country. They do this so they can hold onto their power. Mark also calls this day 1 of the Chris Christie presidential nomination so he can show just how liberal he is.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show: Mark stresses once again that there aren't just 2 candidates running for GOP nomination. Don't believe what the media or the Republican establishment wants you to think. There is a lot of time left and a lot of issues that need to be debated on and in no way is this settled on two candidates yet. Having said that, we now hear that NJ Governor Chris Christie might run. Mark says to let him run so that we can vet him and he can expose some of his controversial including those on Obamacare and global warming. Also, Mark talks about the U.N. summit and the Palestinian demand for a Palestinian state.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Mark discusses how regardless what the mainstream media is telling you – the Republican primary is not over in the next couple of debates. We should not give in to what the media or the Republican establishment is trying to tell us as far as what candidate we should choose. We should look for a conservative candidate that can save the nation, because it needs it. Mark goes through some candidates and their flaws, but says that the process should play out. Mark also plays audio from President Obama where he can't even get his class warfare propaganda right as he claims to be a warrior for the middle class.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark discusses New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman and gives his points how he is wrong with his ideology and beliefs. People like Friedman don't believe in individual liberty but rather they want an all powerful, centralized government with concentrated power. You can not be a Leftist and cherish the Constitution. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton calls in and explains just exactly what is going on regarding the Palestinians, Israel and the U.N. President Obama is being taken advantage of because he is looking weak and indecisive on the Palestinian issue. Finally, Presidential candidate Herman Cain calls in and talks about the GOP debate on Thursday.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark discusses the terms, "middle class, and poor," and says how they change all the time. The problem with this is that when it comes to policy, there are no consistent or coherent proposals because no matter what the socialist does, they are never satisfied. They want to continue taking more rights and economic freedom away from people to further make the individual a slave to the state. They want to pretend they're populists but really they are big government politicians. The class warfare argument is a sham and a fraud game. Mark also talks about Solyndra and how their bosses will be pleading the 5th for the Congressional investigation this coming Friday.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: We now know what President Obama thinks about the American worker; he doesn't care about them and has proven it by now wanting to add a $1.5 million tax on us. Tax increases don't create jobs. He wants to tax the rich, but the rich aren't even the rich. He is using class warfare rhetoric trying to divide the American electorate against each other. At the same time, he is giving no incentive for people to work hard because he is punishing those that are successful by raising taxes on them. We need to have the Republicans stand firm against the Democrats – they already had their chance and blew it at the expensive of the American people, economy and society.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show: Mark spends a great time of the show explaining various parts of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and some of the Founding Fathers. He talks about their philosophy and how liberals reject the Constitution and the values of liberty, private property and freedom. We can't trust or believe anything President Obama says anymore because he has lied about so much – including shovel-ready jobs, unemployment figures, green jobs, etc. Also, we see the stubbornness of Obama saying he won't agree with anything Speaker Boehner proposes regarding jobs, and Boehner's inability to substantiate an argument in his favor.

The American people want the economy unleashed – with jobs, wealth and opportunity created on all fronts. Also, The Transportation Bill is being held up by Harry Reid because of his insistence on having a bike path. The green movement is like the red movement – it is just another excuse for the federal government to take your money, redistribute wealth and control your lives.

More and more of us are showing that we aren't going to sit back idly and see our liberty taken away. Mark also calls for a special prosecutor for why hundreds of millions of dollars has been wasted for phony stimulus and yet we still had to pay the bill. President Obama now has to decide if he wants to enhance the private sector or if he wants to continue paying off union bosses and public sector bosses.

He also talks about Ron Paul and says that there's no reason for him to be running for the Republican ticket and that he holds dangerous foreign policy views that hurt America. Also, America isn't in trouble because of the American people or capitalism – despite what Obama says. There's no reason the country should be heading down a socialist path like the one it is on now. Mark also talks about President Obama's relationship or lack thereof with Israel.

It's not fair for future generations to be paying into a system that they won't have a stake in. We shouldn't be used as tools by the politicians to abuse our children's welfare and well being – socially and economically. Mark Steyn calls in and discusses Mitt Romney's position on Social Security, as well as how Harry Reid believes that there isn't a problem with Social Security! Also, Mark calls for a special prosecutor to investigate Obamacare waivers and why certain companies are getting them.

The numbers simply don't work out with Obama's economic promises. Also, President Obama kept demanding that Congress pass this bill now – but there is no bill to pass! Finally, we take calls and share memories of September 11th and pay tribute to the brave men and women that died that day.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Mark gives live play-by-play of President Obama's jobs speech. Instead of the "American Job's Act," Mark calls it "Save Obama's Job Act." The speech was incoherent, didn't make any sense, and it was the same old socialist rhetoric that will not make any significant or positive changes. This was more of a campaign speech than anything else. Obama has now begun campaigning for 2012, putting the American people and American jobs at risk. The President didn't propose anything that would attract investment or push property rights and liberty; instead he went in the complete opposite direction. Senator Mike Lee calls in after Obama's speech and points out that this is exactly why we need to defeat him and other liberals in the next election cycle; we simply can't handle more regulations on businesses that hinder our economic prosperity.

The false promises and the lies about why we are in such a desperate situation like we are now. Obama will not address the enormity of waste, fraud or abuse that these large government programs have; yet this time all we're supposed to do is just trust him that it will work. Senator Jim DeMint calls in and talks about the Republican debate happening later Wednesday night and how our only hope is to defeat Obama in 2012. Also, Mark talks about the RINO's that are all over the television networks scolding the Tea Party and the Tea Party candidates as to what they should or need to do. Who made them in charge? They are trying to jump onboard the Tea Party because they realize how successful it has been and how important the core principles of liberty and freedom are to the American people.

Mark gives his take on this and says that the union bosses aren't pro-worker and don't look out for the working citizen. What kind of union member would vote for Obama? His policies aren't helping union members, only their bosses; the worker is being sold out. Also, Jesse Jackson Jr. says that there is now a civil war struggle against the tea party.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Happy Labor Day! We bring you a Best of The Mark Levin Show that includes Mark giving a list of businesses and sectors that will continue to collapse if President Obama has his way. The Administration wants a more centralized and top-down run system, with the federal government regulating and controlling all aspects of any economic growth. Also, a hilarious hour featuring MSNBC's Al Sharpton, whom apparently can't speak without a teleprompter; as well as Barney Frank who apparently had a flatulence problem on live television! Mark also speaks with Gibson Guitar CEO Henry Juskiewicz who is under assault by the federal government for the type of wood they are using in their guitars. This is just the latest example of how the overreaching government is trying to get their hands on anything and everything, while destroying companies both large and small all in the name of more regulations and government oversight.


September 2, 2011

On Friday's Mark Levin Show: Mark speaks with Former Vice President Dick Cheney regarding his new book, In My Time: A Person and a Political Memoir. They discuss his career as well as both political and personal struggles that he has had to overcome. Mr. Cheney also discusses the Tea Party and President Obama. Also on the show, Mark gives a picture of what America is right now under the iron first of the left and that despite the warnings from we the people, Obama went ahead with his agenda. We have told him to stop deficit spending, stop printing money and borrowing from the Chinese, stop massively growing the government, and yet the liberal statist keeps doing the opposite!

We don't want more private sector money going to the public sector and being wasted. President Obama switches his economic speech to next Thursday at 7 pm eastern – making him look even more like an idiot with the way he handled this. Mark also predicts that his approval ratings will go lower after the speech because it's the same thing we've heard before and it doesn't work. What happened to all the stimulus money and where is the rest of the money going to come from that he will be requesting for the economic sector? Finally, Texas Governor Rick Perry calls in and talks about his Presidential bid.
