December 30, 2011

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show: We bring you the best of Mark Levin! President Obama gave a Chavez-like speech in Kansas. He talks about ‘fairness’, while claiming to represent the middle class because it is the middle class that is abandoning Obama's socialist ideas. This is a counter-revolution against the freedoms that the American Revolution was all about. President Obama says that he will be giving you back $1000, which is $3 a day; are you willing to be sold and lose your integrity for just $3? The Democrats are increasing the size, reach, and disruptive power of the federal government, at the expense of the free market capitalist system. Finally, Mark asks how many future Presidents will compare themselves to Obama?


December 29, 2011

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Tom Marr of WCBM in Baltimore fills in for Mark. Tom talks about what he thinks will happen in the Iowa caucus – that Mitt Romney will pull it out and win. On the other hand, Ron Paul is a foreign policy disaster and nightmare, and he would put America at risk. Freedom loving Americans can not support Ron Paul, it's as simple as that. Also, Nancy Pelosi's daughter says that her mother wants to retire.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark Simone of 77WABC fills in for Mark. As the Republican caucus approaches new poll results are out from Iowa as Rick Santorum is rising. The attacks on Newt Gingrich are picking up from the mainstream media, and yet he still is holding his own in the polls. Also, he discusses, with the callers, the biggest stories of 2011. Some nominees include the killing of Bin Laden, the Occupy Wall Street protestors, and Anthony Weiner.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark Simone of 77WABC fills in for Mark. President Obama wants to ask Congress for even more money! Apparently in order for the country to pay its bills on times, there must be an increase in the debt ceiling; or so the White House believes. Also, the media keeps bringing up Newt Gingrich's past marriages and other personal matters – do you think the country cares about that anymore? The American people have come to expect the media to attack whatever Republican is the frontrunner, so is the media still that relevant?

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show: We bring you the best of Mark Levin! President Obama is targeting our senior citizens and raiding the social security trust fund at the expense of future generations of Americans. You can't be for social security and Medicare while at the same time stripping the funds of it away. Also, take a look at Europe and what socialism has done over there. Is that what we really want to happen here in America? Finally, Mark talks about how President Obama, along with the U.N. want to tax Americans as part of a "Green Climate Fund," that would specifically go after anyone who travels and thus contributes to global warming.


December 23, 2011

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show: We bring you the best of Mark Levin! Mark says it’s important to analyze each candidate. Now is the time, this is what a primary is all about. The question is how will each candidate be able to deal with a societal crisis? This election should be looked at differently than other elections because it is; the environment is much different now. Who will have the wisdom and strength to begin the necessary process of unraveling not society but the government? Also, Obama's job approval drops below Jimmy Carter's. Finally, the Mark Levin show would like to wish all of our listeners a very Merry Christmas!


December 22, 2011

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Inga Barks of KMJ in Fresno fills in for Mark. The House and Speaker Boehner have caved into the Democrats and President Obama and have approved a 2 month payroll tax extension, despite saying they wouldn't. Speaker Boehner blinked and allowed the Democrats to control the narrative of this phony tax extension and the House should be ashamed. President Obama keeps talking about an extra $40 in every paycheck – are we really willing to give up more of our freedoms for $40? President Obama shouldn't be on vacation during this difficult economic time, rather he should be showing humility like the rest of Americans are. Finally, Congressman Leo Nunes calls in and talks about the timeline leading up to the payroll tax extension.

December 21, 2011

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Inga Barks of KMJ in Fresno fills in for Mark. She talks about all the additional taxes we are being subjected to and how a two month extension of the payroll tax cut would just put us in the same mess we are in now. The general fund is empty; social security is going broke and it will just be seen as another tax. How did we ever live without government micro managing our lives? From the amount of gasoline we can have in cars, to the types of food our children are able to eat, government is everywhere.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Brian Sussman of KSFO in San Francisco fills in for Mark. He talks about the importance of private property and owning land and how the payroll tax cut would have an effect on it. Extending it for two months will not make any difference as the Democrats and the Senate are playing games with the American people. Meanwhile, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee told President Obama that he should use Executive power to continue the unemployment tax and the payroll tax extension. Also, stories of Nancy Pelosi's crony capitalism.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Brian Sussman of KSFO in San Francisco fills in for Mark. He talks about the budget and the payroll tax cut bill that they are trying to extend. Speaker Boehner and the House are under pressure from Senate Republican's to reject the payroll tax cut extension, while the Senate Democrat's refuse to negotiate until the bill is passed in the House. The fact is, we don't have enough money to keep unemployment benefits for going as long as they are or for as much as they are. Social security is running out, and there needs to be a plan as to what is going to happen. Also, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has died, leaving his son in power – what does this mean for the rest of the world and for America's foreign policy?

On Friday's Mark Levin Show: Mark goes over Thursday night's Fox News debate and talks about how Ron Paul once again has proven how out of touch and crazy he is. His foreign policy is dangerous for America and American citizens. Mark also talks about the House passing an omnibus spending bill that admittedly hasn't been read by the members. How is this allowed? What is Speaker Boehner doing that he is letting this happen in a Republican controlled House? This is a sheep and an establishment mentality – to just go along with others and not with one's constituents and representatives.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Mark begins by asking the audience, what do you look for in a President? What specifically do people want changed and what leadership qualities are they looking for? Mark also talks about National Review and other publications that are attacking Newt Gingrich while at the same time pushing Mitt Romney as a conservative and the only acceptable candidate. Mark says that there is a Republican establishment and there is an ongoing battle within it.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark says that Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum are the two most conservatives candidates running but that he would support whomever ends up being the nominee against President Obama. We need to vote for the most conservative candidate we can – and right now, that is not Mitt Romney. We have a long battle ahead, and winning the Presidency is only one step along the way to stop America from continuing on this socialist landslide. Mark also talks about the Republican establishment, as well as political publications that are already counting Newt out and supporting Romney as the conservative candidate, without any mention of Santorum. Finally, Terry Jeffery of CNSNews.com calls in and talks about Supreme Court Justice Kagan and what her role was in Obamacare.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark discusses breaking news regarding the House passing the payroll tax cut bill even though Obama has threatened to veto it. Here you have the House Republicans passing a bill that would give more money to the American people, create more American jobs involving an oil pipeline from Canada, and Harry Reid and Obama want to destroy the bill because it doesn't fit into their class warfare propaganda. Mark also talks about the media attacks on Newt and says that we shouldn't buy into everything that is being smeared against him. Finally, Senator Orinn Hatch calls in and talks about the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: You can't have utopia in a constitutional society. What the liberals and socialists want isn't capable of happening in America as we know it – that is why they want to fundamentally change the country. The massive welfare state that continues to be built is going to collapse the country. Also, Mark looks into Justice Kagan apparently recusing herself in the Arizona illegal immigration case. Mark says she rightfully should recuse herself not only in this case, but also in the Obamacare one as well.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show: Mark plays audio from Ron Paul saying some in the Bush Administration were in joy after the September 11th attacks. Mark says that Ron Paul's foreign policy is dangerous and that he's tired of the hate America first crowd. Ron Paul is not a conservative and his ideas on foreign policy are unpatriotic and un-American. Mark also talks about Justice Kagan apparently lying when asked if she was aware of the ongoing Obamacare debate when she was Solicitor General. She said she didn't have any involvement in Obamacare, but recent emails have exposed that she was copied on information regarding Mark’s Landmark Legal Foundation complaint. Thus, the question must be raised – should Justice Kagan recuse herself on any dealings with Obamacare since she can't prove that she has no impartiality on the matter?

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Mark discusses the Republican primary and stresses how important it is that we have a true conservative in the running. President Obama is handing us a victory if we would just run on solid Constitutional principles and hold him to his record. Mitt Romney is not a conservative, and Newt although better, is not a true conservative either. This isn't about any individual candidate or the media telling us who we should vote for – this is about the American people and America's future. When it comes to conservatism, how can some back Romney and then question Newt's inconsistency? It doesn't make sense. Finally, George Allen calls in and talks about his 2012 Senate run.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark explains what makes our society the best, and lists examples of what is deteriorating the nation. And what it all comes down to is that the farther the Democrats take us away from the Constitution and the free market system, the worst America is becoming. Our Constitution does not grant authority to the central government to socialize or nationalize our economy and businesses. President Obama is an opportunist and wants to put angst in the country so to further divide us so that we must give up more of ourselves to the government. Mark also talks about Fast and Furious and says that this is a huge cover-up and a big deal. Finally, Rick Santorum calls in and talks about his presidential run as well as author Craig Shirley who discusses Pearl Harbor and his book, December 1941.

Mark also talks about who he would support for the Republican nomination as of today but reiterates that he would still support anyone over President Obama because this is the most crucial election of our lifetime.
