On Friday's Mark Levin Show: The Boehner debt has passed the House and some Republicans have caved in and not listened to the American people. We had a free pass to push along a bill to the Senate that showed no spending increases and to begin cutting debt, and our GOP leadership folded. This is a sham and Republicans will pay a price in the next election. Both Congressman Steve King of Iowa and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky call in and discuss how the Boehner bill accomplishes nothing and doesn't cut any of our debt problems.

July 27, 2011
On Wednesday’s Mark Levin show: Mark gives a "history lesson" referring back to the 2010 mid term elections in which the tea partiers elected the freshman Republicans and John Boehner became Speaker. Boehner is trying to bully the freshman Republicans to get behind a plan that is a disaster. Looking back at American history, Mark references General Washington and the battle of Trenton. If Bill Kristol of the weekly standard was writing back the he would have suggested that Washington surrender. Finally, Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel calls in and talks about his run for Senate against Sherrod Brown.

Mark calls on the listeners to call Congress and tell them that you believe and want cut, cap and balance. The Boehner Plan and the likes of it is a suicide pact for the country. It is capitulation and just because something is better than what President Obama wanted, doesn't mean it is still the right thing to do. Congressman Jim Jordan calls in and says we have a solution, its cut, cap and balance.

We now hear that Harry Reid says the GOP has to accept Reid's debt plan; yet Harry Reid is the same person that wouldn't hear any arguments against Obamacare! Professor Michael McConnell of Stanford Law and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution calls in and explains how the 14th Amendment works and what the President can or can't do. Also, Senator Jim DeMint calls in and gives an update on what is going on between Congress and the President.

Boehner says the White House is not serious about stopping the spending of future generations. The Democrats keep demanding tax increases even though we don't have the money for what they want us to do. It is the Democrats and Obama who are obstructing the Cut, Cap and Balance plan that was passed bipartisan in the House. Congressman Jim Jordan calls in talks about how Obama looks perturbed and tired and says that the House conservatives will not just give into Obama's demands.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Speaker Boehner has let the Republicans and the conservatives down. What exactly was he talking about with President Obama in those secret debt talk meetings? And why does he enjoy leaving the American people out to dry and to have even more of a tremendous debt left to pay in the future? The Republican Establishment is frustrated that the conservative base and the American people aren't just going to sit back and let our leaders tell us what to do. They work for us, we don't work for them. What is so wrong about us being concerned about our future? Mark also plays audio from Senator Chuck Schumer who is lying and saying that cut cap and balance is going to make Medicare bankrupt.

We know who the big spenders are and where they want to take us. Mark plays audio from Ronald Reagan where he says we need to have balanced budgets, and how government is the problem and the American people are the solution. Senator Sessions calls into the show, who says that there should be a vote on the House bill this coming Saturday, as well as how he will not support the Gang of 6 bill. Also, Congressman Allen West calls in and talks about the attacks he has been getting from the liberal media as well as from Congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Finally, since Michele Bachmann had to release her medical records regarding her migraines, will Obama release his regarding his past drug use?

Mark calls for McConnell to be voted out of his leadership position next election because clearly he does not stand for the American people. The "Gang of 6," have let us down and were all talk about actually caring about the future of the American economy and society. They wanted to compromise with President Obama – someone who doesn't even believe or follow the Constitution to begin with! We don't see any buckling from Harry Reid or Obama – and why is that? Because they see how cowardly Republicans are acting. Senator Mike Lee calls in and talks about his new book, The Freedom Agenda, as well as the Balanced Budget Amendment.

The statist wants to destroy the private individual and make them fully reliant on the federal government. Congressman Paul Ryan calls in and discusses how the President is trying to force the Republicans to disregard what the American people want by voting for tax increases, massive spending and ultimately contributing to the downfall of the nation.

Mark says lets drop the race and the religion card and realize that the American people don't want the debt ceiling raised because they don't want the economy to keep tanking. All Americans are being affected from Obamacare and from the economy and dollar collapsing, not just whites or blacks. Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee calls in and talks about the conservative strategy in the debt negotiations. Finally, Steve Baker, director of Undefeated, calls in and talks to Mark about the movie.

They now tell us that we will be in an economic crisis come August 3rd if the debt ceiling isn't raised; why did they let it get this bad then? Mark then discusses Obama's personality and ideology. He is doing these talks in secret, without the American people knowing exactly what is going on or what is being negotiated regarding the debt ceiling, and yet the media still refuses to significantly question his policies. Also, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was told by Obama not to call his bluff. Finally, discussions about social security and what we can do about Medicaid.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: President Obama is now saying that Seniors might not get their Social Security checks come August 3rd when the federal budget apparently runs out. Mark says that you must realize that this is being purposely done by Obama for political reasons because the money is there to fund Social Security and other programs. The focus by Republicans and conservatives is the non-essential programs and the massive spending that is destroying the country – that is what needs to be cut and why the debt ceiling shouldn't be raised. Also, President Obama abruptly walks out of debt negotiation meetings with Republicans today. Would Reagan have done this? Is this how you act Presidential? Finally, both Senator Mike Lee and Congressman Steve King call in and talk about what budget the House should pass and what the Senate should do with it.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: We now have President Obama saying that Social Security checks might not be able to be paid if the debt ceiling isn't raised. Obama is specifically saying this because he wants to create panic and anxiety and try to push the Republicans into giving in. Mark goes through various debt plans that have been proposed; including Senator McConnell's and says he doesn't agree it. These plans won't stop spending, and they will only fall further into Obama's trap and ultimately hurt the American people. It's just more of, "Pay now and cut never." Finally, Senator Jim DeMint calls in talks about his book, The Great American Awakening: Two Years that Changed America, Washington, and Me.

He ideologically believes in what he's doing and if he acknowledges any budget cuts, that would prove that what he's been doing is wrong. August 2nd will be the new July 4th, this time a day of liberation. Liberation and freedom from massive government spending that has put us and our children in a continuous debt. Professor Walter Williams of George Mason University calls in and talks about how Democrats have no problem running the narrative or playing hardball, and that Republicans need to step up. Finally, Mark talks about New York Yankee Derek Jeter's 3,000th baseball hit and says that Derek should help pay off the person who caught the balls student loans because he gave the ball back to Derek for nothing.

This is why we need to defeat Obama now – in the 2012 election, because if we don't, the country is at stake. Mark talks about Senators Kyl and McConnell and urges them to stand firm on the debt ceiling – that's all we ask. Only Congress can direct funds to be borrowed – not the President. Do not give into Obama's rhetoric or threats about what will happen if we don't raise the debt ceiling.

There was not nearly enough evidence to convict Casey – regardless of what emotions you may have regarding the case. The prosecution never proved that she murdered her daughter, or that she had the intent of doing it either. The jury's decision isn't a travesty of justice, but rather what is real
