On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the Republicans should vote for each one of President-Elect Trump’s cabinet nominees and give Trump the team he wants. The Republicans wouldn’t be in the majority but for Trump. Some in the Senate are objecting to his picks, but they didn’t face the voters this time around. The Democrats never conduct themselves this way – they rally behind whoever the Democrats put up. Do you think Kamala Harris was qualified to run for President? Also, Bucks County, Pennsylvania Democrats voted to count illegal ballots in the Bob Casey, Dave McCormick election. What happened to accepting election results? One of the commissioners said they would violate the law to get the court’s attention – she should go to jail for this. Later, Rep Chip Roy calls in to explain that Republicans must lead now that they have the majority. There’s no time to mess around – it’s time to go on offense. We have to have systemic, transformational change in government. Finally, prayers go out to Dennis Prager who had a terrible accident and is currently in the hospital.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. And I started off last night’s program talking about the late great Ted Olson. Tonight, I want to talk about a dear friend. A big in this business radio and even beyond. A man who strongly believes in the conservative cause and in this country. And the reports in the news about our friend Dennis Prager, that he fell in the shower and hurt his back. I am not at liberty to expand beyond that. Other than to say. If you’re a person of faith. I would encourage you to pray for Dennis Prager. It was a terrible, terrible accident. I’ll put it to you that way. So please do. He is a great patriot and a human being. This is not a. A statement. At his passing or anything like that. I’m just saying he was a terrible, terrible accident. So. Let’s say our prayers and. Which he and his wife and his family. All the best here. Just a Prager University that is such a tremendous platform. And he created it. And if you’ve ever heard him speak, you know, the folks in L.A., of course, and other. As city said here, Dennis. They know how brilliant he is, but in person he’s even more brilliant. It’s a good guy. It’s a great guy. So I just wanted to pass that on. I want to elaborate on this issue of the president’s selections for the Cabinet. I’m not a fan of all of them, but I don’t care. I want you to listen carefully To me. This is important. He’s elected president of the United States. Not me, not any senator. They have an advise and consent role. There’s no question about it. But I would remind those Republicans in the Senate who are going to be in the majority, who would not be in a majority, but for Donald Trump’s coattails, for the red wave, the Democrats would. And I’m also convinced he’s the only Republican candidate who would have won the presidency under these circumstances, not the reverse of what everybody said. He’s the only one who couldn’t win. Now he’s the only one who could win. And he won in a landslide. And he won with a coalition of voters that everybody, nobody ever really thought was possible. And so while I may have issues with one nominee here or there, another one here or there. So what? They should bundle them up after they have their hearings. The Republicans should vote each one of them through. Have an up or down vote, a roll call vote on the floor of the Senate and give the president the team that he wants and he feels he needs. This shouldn’t shock anybody. What I’m saying. Again. It doesn’t mean I’m. I’m a pom pom boy for every single one of them. That’s irrelevant. This is the team he wants. This is the team he feels he needs. It’s the team you should get. And if down the road something goes off the rail with one nominee or another in terms of their service as a cabinet secretary, and then they deal with it. But he’s made these decisions. After getting support from the voters. Many of the individuals in the Senate. Republicans included, who are objecting. Did not face the voters this election cycle. Remember? Two thirds of the Senate is not up for election. And I look at them and putting aside every one of the nominees and I think to myself, you dumbass just created this problem. You did nothing to secure the border except run your mouth. You did nothing to bring down inflation except run your mouth. You did nothing to fund and support a United States military. Ports, funds and weapons are being depleted. They can’t meet its recruitment goals. And all you do is run your mouth. Our schools aren’t teaching. The basics anymore. They’re teaching pornography, and all you do is run your mouth. We’ve got. The enemy funding our universities and protests in our street. And all you do is run your mouth. We’ve got anti-Semitism in this country like we’ve never seen before. And all you do is run your mouth. It’s not too much to get behind this president. Given what he’s been through, given everything he put on the line, his life. His family. This business. And they say as a senator, you know, for once, I’m going to shut my damn big mouth. I’m going to get behind this man. If he wants Ernie Grabowski as attorney general, so be it. If he wants somebody else’s senator, so be it. I’m going to give him the vote. To give him the team that he wants. That’s what I’m going to do. Even though I have issues with this one or I have issues with that one, I don’t think it was a good choice. So be it. So be it. The Democrats never conduct themselves this way. They don’t say, Look at that tampon. Timmy’s the biggest A-hole in politics, and now they rally behind a guy. Kamala Harris is utterly unqualified to be president. There is nothing that recommends her to be even vice president. They rally behind her. Our guys right out of the box. They’re running for the hills. I’m sick and tired of it. I’m sick and tired of it. You can tell the president privately what you think. That guy’s a goofball. That woman is way out of line. That’s fine. But this is the team he wants. It’s the team he ought to get. And over time. He’ll either be right or wrong about a particular cabinet official or administrator. It happens. It happens. So that’s my view. I’ve gotten calls today. Oh, my God. The aid package, this one, he picks that one and so forth. I don’t have a lot in common. Robert f Kennedy Jr. But I’m not president. I’m just being honest with you. Give the guy a break. TRUMP Give him a break. Get off his ass. Just once. Get off his back. And let’s see what he can do, which is a lot. Which is a ton. Now, these Republicans in the Senate, they’re going to be chairmen of committees. They’re going to be chairmen of subcommittees. No thanks to them, thanks to Trump. Are they going to use those positions now to sabotage him? I don’t care what Susan Collins thinks. And Lisa murkowski, these are two loads. They’re the weakest link in the chain. They just always are. Right out of the box. Because they’re self-aggrandizing. They only care about themselves and their own politics. That’s all they care about. And of course, the media run to them, get their opinion, and they’re just fantastic, you know. But that’s the team he wants. That’s the team here to get. We wouldn’t have the House of Representatives today. We wouldn’t have the Senate today. We wouldn’t have the president today. But for Donald Trump. So many of these political hacks, they’re just ingrates, absolute ingrates. I heard this Republican from North Dakota even know that how he is smirking about how he’s going to vote against this one or the other one and so forth. He wasn’t up for re-election. He didn’t have to face the voters. They always claim how conservative they are when they run. They always they always claim how loyal they are. Their fealty. They always talk about it. Soon as they get to Washington, they go rogue. They go rogue. Now they control all the elected branches in Washington. Both houses of Congress and the presidency. The Democrats. As I speak, I’m in the dark. They’re under the radar, plotting to destroy Donald Trump and his presidency, plotting to undermine the majority in the House and the Senate. That’s who they are. That’s what they’re doing out in the open, brazenly. In Bucks County, Pennsylvania, one of the big counties that’s still counting, the three commissioners voted to count illegal votes just now. And I posted it. If you want to check it out on all my social sites. They just voted. They count all these ballots. That violates state law and violate a court order. They basically said, screw you, that’s how we’re voting. Media is not covering it. Campbell is not covering it. The networks aren’t covering it. Whatever happened to accepting an election? Whatever happened? To the peaceful transition of power. Bob Casey lost there, the slip and fall. Bastard lawyer by the name of Marc Elias. Arrest scum Ball. Who’s in there? Doing his thing with Democrats. More than happy to deliver. Nobody’s going to be charged with any kind of federal offense. Not out of Washington, D.C. Nobody is going to be charged with obstructing an election. Only Trump gets charged. But that’s exactly what they’re doing in Pennsylvania. You clowns in the media, you lying thugs in the media. Are we going to accept the results of the election? Is Chuck Schumer going to accept that? Are the Democrats in Pennsylvania going to accept it? Is margolyes going to accept that you clowns, you frauds on the Sunday shows? You make me sick to my stomach. As they try and steal a Senate race in Pennsylvania from David McCormack. They hand it to Bob Casey and you folks in Pennsylvania, You ought to be furious. Furious. And those commissioners in Bucks County, when this is over, they ought to be prosecuted and go to jail. Not following the law. Prosecuted and go to jail. That’s what ought to happen. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
Did I just read or hear that Elon Musk met with the Iranian foreign minister, Mr. Producer. I don’t know if this is true. If it’s. I hope they’re not doing something stupid with the Iranian foreign minister. That guy needs to be sent to the brig. That country needs to be eliminated. Not the people, the government. They’re getting a nuclear weapon. This will be interesting. We will watch. I will let you know. This Bucks County. Democrat commissioners. They basically have ordered the counting of ballots that are illegal as a matter of law. Bucks County Democratic Commissioners violated the rule of law and ignored Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling. Now the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is a liberal Democrat court. As the Bucks County GOP points out, Democrat Commissioners Dianne Marseglia and Bob Harvey voted to count illegal ballots against a Supreme Court ruling in an attempt to aid former Senator Bob Casey. Let’s take a listen to this. Listen to this now. Cut seven. Go. We reject all three categories of these ballots. Your your motion is to reject or dismiss the challenges in this category in front of you. Correct? Yep. I’m not going to second that. Mostly because I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws any time they want. So for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it. Did you hear that? That’s the Democrats. She just said, Yeah, we’re going to violate the Supreme Court of the state. We’re going to count these votes whether they like it or not, to get the court’s attention. Now she should go to jail. She should go to jail. And this guy, Bob Harvey, sounds like he’s 112 with an IQ of -17. He voted to count the illegal ballots. He voted to count the illegal ballots. And the one Republican, it’s a 2 to 1. Board of Commissioners there. The counties have. Boards of commissioners with three members. The majority gets to the minority gets one. And that’s Gene Girolamo. He made the motion literally to uphold the law, and it failed to do one. So the old man, this guy Harvey, says, No, no, no, no. Those three categories. Yeah. No, no, no, no. I reject them. That is the three categories where they’re not allowed. And she says, you heard her bluntly say, I think we all know the precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws any time they want from me. If I violate this lodge because I want a court to pay attention to it, imagine this utter lawlessness. In open daylight. Not a question. As they try and ram through the election for the Democrat Casey through the county. And they hope the state of Pennsylvania and you won’t see this on CNN, you won’t see this on MSNBC, they won’t be on the nightly news or anything thing of the sort. They talk about election integrity. Can you show us any fraud? Can you show us fraud anywhere? Can you? Can you? It’s right here. It’s right here where they’re trying to affect the majority in the United States Senate. It’s backed by the number one Democrat lawyer who’s close to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. And Biden and Harris and the rest. It’s their hitman. And they’re doing it right in the light of the day right there. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Here’s the story. New York Times S.A. to take that under consideration. Elon Musk, a close advisor to President elect Donald Trump, met with Iran’s ambassador to the UN and his foreign minister on Monday in New York in a session the two Iranian officials described as a discussion of how to defuse tensions between Iran and the United States. The Iranians said the meeting between Musk and Ambassador Amir Yabba dabba Doo lasted more than an hour, was held in a secret location. The Iranians, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss public policy, described the meeting as positive and good news. Asked about whether there was such a session, Steve Young, Mr. Trump’s communications director, said, We do not comment on reports of private meetings that did or did not occur. Mr. Musk did not respond to requests for comment. Carolyn Leavitt, the transition spokeswoman for the incoming Trump Vance administration, said in a statement. The American people re-elected President Trump because they trust him to lead our country and restore peace through strength around the world. When he returns to the White House, he will take the necessary action to do just that. An early direct meeting between a senior Iranian official. Mr. Mark raises Mark, Mark raises the possibility of a change in tone between Tehran and Washington under the Trump administration, despite a charged history between the president elect and Iran, one of the Iranian officials said it was Mr. Musk who had requested the meeting, that the ambassador picked the site. And let’s see. In the wake of Mr. Trump’s election last week, that doesn’t mean anything. One Iranian foreign minister official said The ambassador, a raven. He told Mr. Musk during the meeting that he should obtain sanctions exemptions from the Treasury to bring some of his business to Tehran. Mm hmm. We’ll see how that works. Keep an eye on that, right, Mr. BLITZER? Let’s see here. Well, we’ll leave it at that. That’s what we got. I’m just paging through the article, finishing it up, taking a look. You know, ladies and gentlemen, I’m looking at these news stories from MSNBC. I’m looking at Capitol Hill newspapers I’m looking at. The various in the usual news outlets. It’s so negative. It’s so negative. The attacks. Ah, just the same. If these media conglomerates that own these media platforms don’t step in and fix this, I don’t mean they have to agree with us, but just fix the the vile nature of these people. They’ve got these horrendous people that they’ve given platforms to. If they don’t do that, I don’t know where this country is going to go. They’re like pushing us into a violent civil war over at CNN and MSNBC. The networks. The Drudge Report Media. These sites are just so vile. And. Propagandistic in what they push and what they don’t disclose as well. It’s just it’s this nonstop. Now they say ABC is looking at how to fix the view. You can’t fix the view. You got to start all over again. You’re going to put what, one Trump supporter, one conservative. They’ve tried that. Meghan McCain was there. She was outstanding. They’ve had one. That’s not what you do for against one. And, you know, they attack Fox all the time. Fox, the host, all talk like this. They just don’t. And there are standards. He could be conservative. He could be pro-Trump, of course. But the level. Of the of the of the vile language, really violent language that is used day in and day out is just on these other networks. Just. Just pathetic. It’s sickening. And The View lost its entire perfect purpose for its original existence with Barbara Walters. It’s supposed to be an intelligent, substantive sort of discussion, if not debate group of women. It’s not what it is. It’s not intelligent. They’re not intelligent. And it goes on and on and on. MSNBC. Look at this. Just a complete mess. They’ve taken the whole idea of what cable news and cable was supposed to be like, and they’ve destroyed it. CNN has destroyed its entire purpose. Like The View. MSNBC has no purpose. It’s like listening into a discussion at the DNC, I suppose. Just terrible. Nancy Pelosi before the election. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to her because we’re going to then play Nancy Pelosi after the election. Kate, one go. We had an open primary and she won it. Nobody else got in the race. Yes, people could have jumped in. There were some people who were sort of preparing, but she just took off with it. And actually it was a blessing because there wasn’t that much time. There wasn’t that much time between then and the election to sort of save time. It wasn’t that we didn’t have an open process. It’s just that nobody got in. She’s so sleazy. She’s so horrendous. So she claims they had an open primary, just like they all claim the border was secure until they claimed it wasn’t. Now, here she is after the election. Cut to go. Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race. The anticipation was that that if if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary. And, as I say, Kamala may have. I think she would have done well in that and been stronger going forward. But what we don’t know that that didn’t happen. We live with what happened. And because the president endorsed Kamala Harris immediately, that really made it almost impossible to have a primary. And so there was an open primary. And now she says there wasn’t an open primary. And so why did the media keep asking her for her opinion? She’s like. Ike Sanders. Who’s a sleazeball liar. And they bring him on. He said one thing before the election, another. Why did they bring in James Carville, who really looks like a sickly pathetic. Old man. Rambling, rambling like a buffoon. Who says one thing before the election and another thing after the election. He was very cocky before the election. Remember that America now, if we had a Democrat party, needs to listen to the people. PELOSI Well, we had an open primary after the election. We didn’t have an open primary. The border was secure. I mean, it wasn’t secure. We had a bill. They had to pass the bill. They can’t even get their frigging lies straight. They can’t even get their lies straight. Then we have this this garbage, this guy, Senator Chris Murphy of. Of the Nutmeg State, Connecticut. They keep bringing the same losers. That same liars. On these networks, MSNBC and elsewhere. Now listen to this guy. He’s one of the worst of the worst cut for go. I wish the Harris campaign had talked more transparently about the way that Americans are getting screwed by billionaires and corporations and talked about a real populous slow down with this Marxist collapse. Americans aren’t getting screwed by billionaires, and corporations are getting screwed by the government. They’re getting screwed by Washington and the bureaucracy. They’re getting screwed by taxes and regulations. They’re getting screwed by criminal laws they’re making Small businessmen are a laborer who doesn’t even know they’re violating the law subject to criminality. They’re getting screwed by IRS agents, by the open border, by the massive undermining of our currency and inflation. They’re getting screwed by you. You jerk. These people are the worst. This guy, Chris Murphy, has an IQ of -17. And I don’t know who’s worked over his face, but my gut, maybe, maybe that’s his natural look. But something’s gone on there. Go ahead. Our to them. I think we misunderstood the Republicans focus on immigration. Yes, some of it. Was playing to nativism and racism. Hey, jackass. The Republicans focused on immigration. Which confessed. You’ve confessed that you were not nativism. So when you defend your culture and assimilation. Allegiance to your own country. That’s nativism. That’s a healthy society. Do you mean nativism? So if you’re a patriot, you support your country. He wants to protect the nation’s culture. Who wants assimilation for legal immigrants coming into the country? And this has been the history of America. Your nativist, you see his language. He’s a buffoon, but he gets re-elected. Why is a Democrat in Connecticut who can’t get elected as a Democrat in Connecticut? Any clown can get elected as a Democrat in Connecticut. And there have been many, including this one. Go ahead. A lot of it was about telling Americans that they are not at the mercy of forces beyond their control in this guys ahead case. That said, he’s ahead, Kate. What he should do is go on TV and said, you know, I am partly responsible for the losses in the Democrat Party, even though I won in a dark blue state, which isn’t hard. I didn’t do as well as I could have done, but I did well enough to squeak by or to get by now. Instead, he’s got all these these weird delusions. All right. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Not name dropping, but I spoke to the president briefly yesterday and he gets it wrong every time he says, Mark, let me tell you something. Yes, sir. And we have great chemistry and we’re really good friends. He says, you’re looking good on TV. He and don’t worry, nobody can see your foot under the table. I said, Mr. President, I didn’t hurt my foot. Every time he thinks it’s the foot. I said I tore my tendon. Am I required 100%? It’s not a foot. He said, Oh, that had to hurt like hell. I said I did. But he says it every career. Don’t worry. Nobody can say your foot. You’re looking good. Close enough is right. By the way, yesterday when I was talking about some of the radio greats I listened to. There’s two more I wanted to mention, Dominique Quinn in Philadelphia, but also. My man, Bill Corsair. I love the Corsairs. They are fantastic people. He’s a Vietnam vet in a terrible accident himself. He’s still working through it. Good man. And I got a lot of friends. Sid the great ABC in the morning. That’s my brother. Brother. Sid Where the hell have you been? In fact, all the guys on ABC are my buddies. Okay, kill me. Just all of them. I don’t mention parts. Okay, Don’t worry, Caster. The meat is the owner. And I understand he and I are buddies. Well, we really are. I got to come up to New York when I. He’ll get a big, well-done steak. I don’t know how he likes his steak. We can do that. All right, Curtis. Curtis. I go way back. There’s others, too, who are just fantastic. My brothers. We’ve got two killer hours left killing. I’ll be right back.
