On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Do you realize just how large our deficit is? Mark compares it to other times in American history and just how much more expansive our debt is and how the Republican leadership is not taken enough significant steps to cut it. We don't need as much massive government as we have – we can sustain ourselves just fine. If you are a liberal, you are anti-Constitutionalist and you reject the Constitution. Also, Mark talks about comments from Republicans like Senator Scott Brown who say that the Tea Party is extremist or out of touch; they're the ones out of touch, not us.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Larry Elder from KABC in California fills in for Mark. He discusses the differences between when President Bush went into Iraq and Afghanistan, and our current military operation in Libya. He also discusses a news report that the U.S. is covertly assisting the Libyan rebels and asks how does this benefit America? What is the vision of President Obama for America, and is it in our best interest? Also, both political sides are playing the American voter out, but the Democrats are doing it more than the Republicans are.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark plays audio from Senator Chuck Schumer discussing what words and language he is being told to use when describing the Tea Party and Speaker Boehner. You must understand that the Left is trying to shape the language and political discourse of what issues are being presented to the media. Why is it that President Obama and others won't allow us to reduce our debt – despite the economic consequences of it? Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser calls in and talks about the political attacks on him from state unions before his election next Tuesday, April 5th. Finally, William Bennett – author of The Fight of Our Lives, calls in and talks about his new book with Mark!

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: Mark gives commentary on President Obama's speech on Libya. Mark describes the inconsistency of it, and how we still don't know what is going on or why we went into Libya in the first place. Mark questions when was Obama’s realization that Gaddafi was a bad person, when he's been against the United States for over 40 years? Rather than explain to the American people and our military the goal of the Libyan operation, we were given a lecture with no clear points. Also, Mark explains how we are now seeing a liberal transformation of our foreign policy; we are trying to internationalize our efforts and go to groups like the United Nations, rather than looking out for our own sovereignty.

On Friday’s Mark Levin show: Mark talks about the GOP senators agreeing to push a balanced budget amendment. Mark says, it should be called ‘limit the size of government under the constitution amendment’. The elements of this plan are really good. Also, Mark explains that we don’t need a no-fly zone in Libya, just kill Gaddafi and get end it. Finally, Clint Walker, star of the old western TV show Cheyenne calls in and discusses Obama’s handling of his Presidency.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show: Mark explains the history of the War Powers Act, how various Presidents used it, and why he doesn't agree with it. He also says that if Congress doesn't want a particular war, they have the ability to defund the operation. He rejects the use of our military this way because there is no stated military goal from the President that says what exactly our mission is. And yet, no matter what President Obama does, you still won't hear any criticism of him from the mainstream media, even as America is being torn apart. Finally, Mark talks about how we are now weakening our American sovereignty by trying to base our American policy in the eyes of the international world and the United Nations, rather than our own.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show: Mark asks and explains what conservatism is and the principles that America stands on. He discusses what President Reagan believed as far as foreign policy and intervention – he was able to distinguish between allies and adversaries. Our political leadership is to preserve and defend the American society. We are supposed to be building alliances with nations that will continue to advance the principles of freedom, liberty and democracy, and to preserve this society. Therefore, what is President Obama doing by intervening in Libya without giving a clear mission or goal? Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld calls in and talks about our current foreign policy, and what we should do. Finally, Ed Martin (Senate primary candidate in Missouri) calls in and discusses Claire McCaskill’s tax problems.

We can't just send our troops out and not have a strategic goal in mind. Mark says that this administration's stupidity and incompetence is growing each passing day, and it is hurting the country in the end. Also, a Florida judge has ordered Sharia Law to be accepted in a Florida courtroom. Finally, Mark talks about and explains the declaration of wars and when they have been used or have not been used.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: President Obama hasn't made coherent statement about what our objective is in Libya. What’s our military supposed to do – and why isn't Obama articulating the point to them? Mark says he wants Obama and the liberals to stop apologizing for America's past; we have freed millions of people from tyranny worldwide. What does the government run efficiently besides the military? They are making a disaster of healthcare, social security and our economy. Also, Adam Hasner, former Florida State House Majority Leader and tea partier calls in to talk about his 2012 Senate exploratory committee against Senator Bill Nelson.

The Democrats didn't like that the Republicans took control of the state, so not only did they leave the state to protest, but now they are going to the courts about it. Also, there are now threats against politicians, and you don't hear the media asking about the pro-union workers’ civility. Also, Mark gives an update on the Libyan no fly zone. Finally, Phyllis Schlafly calls in and discusses her new book, The Flipside of Feminism.

We can't let these big public sector unions continue to take taxpayer money and use it for their own agendas and institutions. Why are the American people and the 54 conservatives that voted against the Continued Resolution being attacked by the GOP leadership? There is a campaign being led by Speaker Boehner and Congressman Cantor to dampen the influence of conservatives. Since when is following the Constitution considered extreme?

Mark Levin to GOP leadership: ‘You’re not going to talk to us this way and get away with it’

Conservatives believe in the Constitution, liberty and the principles of freedom and prosperity – what is so wrong with that? Why is the GOP Leadership calling out the Congressmen who voted against the Continuing Resolution as being extreme? The Left now knows that Speaker Boehner is weak and they will use this against him as they try to further implement their agenda. Also, President Obama picks his winner for the NCAA basketball tourney!

Speaker Boehner has sold out conservatives – he went against what the American people wanted, and instead played politics. Congressmen Louie Gohmert, Mike Pence and Senator Rick Santorum call in and say that we need to stay united and keep demanding that Obamacare be defunded and that the deficit be reduced. We need courageous fiscal discipline.

Also, Mark talks about comments from Congressman Michael Grimm saying that there is an extreme element on the right that is against Obamacare. Since when is telling the government to limit their spending habits considered extreme? Finally, Senator Marco Rubio and Congressman Tim Huelskamp call in and discuss the continuing resolution.

The Republican leadership needs to be reminded that they were voted into power primarily because the American people did not want Obamacare, nor the enormous amount of spending that is going on. The Levin Surge is still going strong as Mark urges people to call their Congressmen and tell them to vote no on the continuing resolution unless the healthcare funding is taken out of it. Finally, the Republicans need to stop giving up the leverage that they have to the Democrats.

The American people have cut back their spending because of rising energy and food prices – why can't the federal government do the same? Finally, where exactly are the liberals taking us?

Mark also goes after the Republican leadership and says he is very unhappy with them and urges the freshman, newly elected Conservatives to start getting aggressive and telling the American people exactly what is going on. We can't be surrendering our negotiating points and giving into the liberal belief system. Finally, Mark talks about Donald Trump and says that he's a situationalist and questions some of his political contributions.

If we weren't silent, we wouldn't be dealing with the belittling of America that is happening from within. We should eliminate so many entitlements and social programs, and have people live with the consequences of making poor decisions. Finally, Michael talks about the social problems in poorer parts of the country and what may be some of the causes of it.

Of course, that figure is wrong and if you listen to the mainstream media, they act as if Obama did everything himself, as if the American people sacrificing doesn't have an effect on it. Since when do Americans accept a system that is destructive to the productivity of the country? We are the most prosperous nation in the world, and yet we are constantly being told that we're stupid and that the only solution has to be big government.
