Mark Levin Audio Rewind

The media hate Republican Presidents and love Democrat Presidents. We didn’t have a serious media challenging Barack Obama and his radical claims, violations of the Constitution and the Iran Deal. They still don’t contact Obama over the domestic surveillance that took place under his watch. The media are a praetorian guard media that protects big government, progressive ideology and its politicians. If you have a media like CNN and Brian Stetler that doesn’t consists of serious professionals and journalists you have to deal with them in a different way. After that, the more decisions we funnel through politicians the more our society splits. More and more people are going to be angry and disappointed because this is a complete win or lose scenario with Obamacare. Why are Republicans abandoning a proposal by Sen Ted Cruz that will liberate some from Obamacare and let others keep Obamacare? In addition, we don’t do a good enough job on selling this nation's success. Day in and day out the politicians are attacking our society using the epithets of racism, sexism and inequality. They try to conceal the vibrancy of civil society in order to empower the government. Later, President Trump met with Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit. Trump didn’t just say, cut it out to Putin, like Obama did but pressed him on the issue of Russian hacking. In addition, Trump did attempt to address China but what he and his administration are doing is not enough. China needs to be pressured in the area of commerce. They are assisting North Korea in getting nuclear materials.

President Trump’s speech in Poland on Thursday was excellent. He called out Russia, North Korea and gave his support for NATO during his speech. But the out of control media have once again exposed themselves as anti-Trump to the point of sheer stupidity in reacting to President Trump's speech. Look how angry the NBC reporter asking Trump questions was. In addition, CNN’s Jim Acosta calls what the President is saying “fake news”. Which political party is Acosta a reporter for? If he wants to present an opinion that is one thing, but he is covering the President. Acosta never challenged Barack Obama, like he does Trump. Can you think of anyone in the media who challenged Obama? After that, the nominee for Deputy Director of Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought is a practicing Christian and was grilled by Bernie Sanders at his confirmation hearing. Sanders raised questions about a post Vought made about Muslims which was based on Vought’s Christian faith. Sanders is voting no and is violating the Constitution through his line of questioning. In response, 64 Republicans, including James Lankford wrote a letter to AG Jeff Sessions asking him to reaffirm that no religious test should be required to be admitted for public office. Later, the Republican Party is no longer the Party of Lincoln, Reagan and Coolidge. Republicans are now upset that Ted Cruz wants to allow insurance companies to carry any kind of plan they want while keeping at least one Obamacare plan. This is not about healthcare and quality medical care but, about power and control by Democrats and progressive Republicans, who follow their lead like puppies. Progressives want to determine what you can do with your life and what doctor you should see, or whether you get to see a doctor at all. Individualism is rejected not just by Senate Democrats but by Senate Republicans as well.

NYPD officer Miosotis Familia was assassinated while sitting in her patrol vehicle in the Bronx. This environment for shooting cops happens way to often. When these things go on a lot and they are not properly addressed, it becomes a pattern. Then that pattern becomes expected and becomes a problem. When you rip at society, and you keep at it, you destroy that society. You cannot have liberty without order. You have mobocracy. After that, North Korea is working on a missile system that can hit the continental U.S and that represents a direct threat to America. There are only two options to deal with this, forcibly remove Kim Jong Un or give Japan nuclear weapons. Giving Japan nuclear weapons will get the Chinese attention as they don’t want Japan to have nukes. In addition, U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley recognizes that the North Korean actions are closing off the possibility of a diplomatic solution. However, what is the Trump administration waiting for? Exercises with South Korea and tongue lashing hasn’t gotten us anywhere. We need to put pressure on China right now when it comes to trade. There is no appeasing of North Korea and they will just be emboldened if we ignore them. Later, CNN is now in the blackmail business. They are facing universal backlash for targeting a Reddit user who posted a gif that Trump tweeted out on Sunday of him wrestling CNN. CNN was threatening to reveal the person's identity if they reneged on their apology. CNN which wraps itself in 1st Amendment and freedom of press is blackmailing this individual and are excited about it. Also, they may have targeted the wrong guy. It was pointed out that the meme Trump generated had video, whereas the Reddit user’s gif did not. Finally, the 25th Amendment will not be used for the purpose that liberals want to use it for, the removal of President Trump. Mike Pence and a majority of the Cabinet would have to be in on the scheme.

We bring you the best of Mark Levin on this Independence day! The long-held official policy of the Department of Justice is that a sitting president of the United States cannot be indicted, according to an official 1973/2000 DOJ memoranda. All this talk about whether President Trump personally is under investigation for obstruction of justice, or whether Trump violated the law, will never go to court. If Robert Mueller should seek to indict Trump in the end the Supreme Court would throw it out. So why does the endless cloud of investigation around the Trump administration exist? It exists generally to distract and derail Trump’s presidency, and specifically for the purposes of impeachment. Also, leftist politicians pushing single-payer healthcare are trying to institute hell on earth. Senate Democrats have gone past criticizing the GOP’s current health care proposal to espouse their support for government-run health care. They paint these things as paradise. Senators like Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal believe that freedom attains its highest possibility through the state. This is the ideology off the progressive today. The progressives are always marching in support of their agenda. Also, now some want the Republicans to move on from healthcare to tax cuts. That is how you lose a country. Republicans need to push a conservative healthcare agenda and take their case to the American people. As long as you have guys like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, single payer will be our fate. In addition, the scholars and intellectuals like Walter White that gave birth to Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama and the rest of them. You ignore the academics and intellectuals at their own peril, but they have the last laugh. Ultimately academicians want to control your lives. They think they are smarter than everybody else. Finally, Jeh Johnson testified at a House hearing on Russian hacking. Didn’t this hacking happen under Barack Obama, Johnson and Loretta Lynch’s watch? Well for a while they covered it up and didn’t tell the American people; they sat on this information until October. Johnson pats himself on the back for getting the information out about the Russian hacking weeks before the election. Why not months? They thought Hillary was going to win and that is why they didn’t want to upset this outcome. The hiding of this crucial information about Russian interference was purely partisan. It’s not Trump colluding with the Russians, it is the Obama Administration concealing what the Russians did in order to help Hillary so her election would not appear tainted. In addition, there was no collusion between Trump and the Russians. There is no witness anywhere that has said otherwise.

The Declaration of Independence is what July 4th celebrates and is so important. The Declaration of Independence is the formal consensus proclamation for America's founding and is a revolutionary document. It was the first time that anyone wrote down the statement, “All men are created equal”. The first part of the Declaration is the heart of the Declaration. There is a debate between constitutional conservatives and liberals. Does the first part of the Declaration really matter or is it just the 28 count indictment against King George and the British Crown? The progressive movement says forget about the first part of the Declaration, the American Revolutionaries fought just on the 28 issues. They want us to forget, overlook and dismiss the phrase "laws of nature and nature’s God” among other things. Those words have been the target of progressive attacks for 150 years. If you live in the U.S. or anywhere in the world you know right from wrong, whether you live it or not is another issue. These ideas are not legislative or political but are based on right reason. There are certain values and beliefs and principles that are right. This is a big problem for the progressives. In addition, a Constitutional Republic is the only form of government that can nourish the principles that are protected by the Constitution. The Constitution is best way to protect us from tyranny. No other kind of government including progressivism acknowledges the unalienable rights of man. Later, Bernie Sanders is exactly what the Founders abhorred. They knew about Sanders and his ilk during time of the Founding. Sanders and those like him like to wrap their message in popular sovereignty and ability to choose. They only believe in this and other things when it results in more power for the state.

President Trump’s tweet about Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski has taken us away from the big successes of his administration in the last few days. There were laws that were passed that will save lives. The House passed Kate’s laws, there’s a crackdown on sanctuary cities and the travel ban is in effect. But the entire news cycle hasn’t mention any of this. Let’s focus on the business of America! Kate’s Law says if you deport an illegal alien and they return, there is a 5 year minimum federal prison sentence. Although the Left believes this is unfair, not only will be saving American’s job but we could be saving American lives. Also, sanctuary cities basically say screw the federal law. Federal grant money will be withheld from Sanctuary Cities with the new law that has been passed. Many are now saying this law puts our cities safety in peril by telling them how to police themselves. Illegal aliens are criminals. The moment you come into this country illegally you are a criminal, you are not a victim. Later, 2 dozen Democrats are getting behind an actual bill to lay the foundation for removing Trump for being mentally 'incapacitated.' There’s one problem, they would need VP Mike Pence to agree to this. This is nothing more than the left trying to undermine Trump. Finally, Eric Bolling calls in to discuss his new book, The Swamp: Washington's Murky Pool of Corruption and Cronyism and How Trump Can Drain It.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski don’t have legitimate criticisms of President Trump, they endlessly attack and smear him. If you relentlessly attack the character and integrity of a man, that man will push back whether he’s President or not. None of this improves healthcare or secures the border, but all day long this was the media’s focus. This is how you know the country is unraveling. Also, the parents of Charlie Gard, a terminally ill baby, lost their final appeal in the European court of human rights, which meant their son's life support would be switched off and that decision was final. Centralized planning on health care results in rationing and that affects the sickest among us. There is nothing compassionate about government run healthcare and waiting lines. This could be the future in America and the Republicans won’t reverse course. Finally, an illegal immigrant in Virginia was charged in killing an innocent Muslim teenager with a baseball bat. These debates about securing the border aren’t a joke. This is a debate about our safety and security, it’s not humane to have open borders. The media downplayed this story because illegal immigration affects everybody no matter what your religion is.

Leftist politicians pushing single-payer healthcare are trying to institute hell on earth. Senate Democrats have gone past criticizing the GOP’s current health care proposal to espouse their support for government-run health care. They paint these things as paradise. Senators like Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal believe that freedom attains its highest possibility through the state. This is the ideology off the progressive today. The progressives are always marching in support of their agenda. Also, now some want the Republicans to move on from healthcare to tax cuts. That is how you lose a country. Republicans need to push a conservative healthcare agenda and take their case to the American people. As long as you have guys like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, single payer will be our fate. In addition, the scholars and intellectuals like Walter White that gave birth to Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama and the rest of them. You ignore the academics and intellectuals at their own peril, but they have the last laugh. Ultimately academicians want to control your lives. They think they are smarter than everybody else. Later, Republican Senators want surveillance requests for the FBI Russia probe. They are asking the FBI to hand over any warrants tied to its probe of Russian election interference. On this Lindsey Graham deserves credit. Finally, Jim DeMint calls in to discuss Article V and North Carolina possibly being the 13th state supporting it.

Throughout 'Rediscovering Americanism,' you’ll see these dichotomies. You’ll see these opposites. Americanism versus progressivism. What does that mean? It means constitutionalism versus centralism. It means individualism versus conformity. It’s about private property versus collectivism. Prosperity versus redistribution. Separation of powers versus the administrative state. It is about discerning who we are, where we are and why we are. These are the big questions. This is a book for people who want to be inspired but informed and to get us back to basics. After that, for months and months the Obama administration covered up Russia interference and did nothing effective to stop it. Barack Obama knew full well that Russians had tapped into the DNC database and tried to tap into the Republican database. He knew full well that 39 states were under attack while he gave a news conference in October of 2016, where he trashed President Donald Trump over questioning the integrity of the elections. Trump overcame that as well as the investigation into his campaign. Now you can be sure that the Russians wish Hillary Clinton was president and that Obama was still in power. This is on Obama and all his Democrat appointees who appeased Putin and Russia. In addition, Project Veritas did an undercover operation and got the supervising producer at CNN, John Bonifield on tape saying the Russia story is mostly bullsh*t. We now know what is going on at CNN from the top. It has been CEO’s Jeff Zucker's purpose to go to war with Trump and to drive up his ratings by doing so. CNN goes after anybody that doesn't dance to the tune of the left. Finally, unfortunately for Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republicans wouldn’t pass the healthcare monstrosity. McConnell’s priorities are screwed up and he has been in D.C. way too long.

The real Russian collusion is from Obama Administration officials as they covered up Russian interference in the election for months. We are the victims of the perpetrators, Obama and his officials. Also, the Obama Administration and former top officials leaked classified information to the media. Sources leaking to the press include Ben Rhodes, former National Security advisor and Colin Kahl among others who leaked about the Obama Iran deal. They need to be subpoenaed and put under oath to be questioned about what exactly they leaked. After that, we hear about this deep state which is the administrative state. The administrative state stays behind no matter who is elected President, to Congress or picked for the Supreme Court. When was the last time an agency was abolished or cut by 20%? It has never happened because this is the empire of the progressives. This is the empire they built and this the empire they expand to crush what is left of our principles. The idea that we get liberty from big government is absurd. The notion of liberty comes from the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence. Later, everywhere you look in this country, progressivism put into practice through big government is failing. Yet the progressive Democrats continue to institute their policies, and Republicans seem complicit in the growth of government. How do we explain all this? First, you need to know the roots of progressivism and of the rejection of the political theory of the American founding by progressives in both the Republican and Democratic parties. What is liberty? What are natural rights? Why have the leading progressive intellectuals attacked our founding principles and our republican system? These questions are fundamental to understanding how to preserve our liberty. These are the themes in “Rediscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Progressivism.” Finally, the FBI launched a criminal probe against Mike Flynn after he roiled bureau leadership. Flynn intervened on behalf of Robyn Gritz over alleged sexual discrimination by Andrew McCabe. Gritz’s career took a sudden downturn after she started working under McCabe. Did Mr. McCabe and senior elements at the FBI leak information to go after Flynn?

Not only is Obamacare here to stay but single payer is on the way and the Republicans will help bring it in because they won’t take the steps necessary to reverse course. The problem is nothing in the Republican proposal moves us toward a market based healthcare system. Making Obamacare great again? This is the best they can do? Democrats don’t believe in the market and Republicans have abandoned the market. Rather than discuss market solutions, the entire discussion is based on Obamacare. These are just first steps to nationalize our healthcare through the back door. Bernie Sanders wants to nationalize healthcare and wants to decide who gets what. What Sanders is preaching is totalitarianism. This is where we are headed thanks to the Republicans. Later, there is no evidence of Russian collusion, but there is evidence of utter incompetence by Barack Obama and his administration. The fact of the matter is, it is outrageous that the Russians tried to interfere with our elections. But the fact that Obama Administration knew it was happening and did nothing to stop it is unconscionable. Finally, Jane Sanders, Bernie Sanders’ wife, is under investigation for her financial dealings at Burlington College which is no longer open. Did Bernie Sanders’ wife commit fraud in a loan application and did Bernie know about what his wife did?

The number one reason that Republicans took control of the Congress, Senate and the Presidency is because of the problems caused by Obamacare. Why would Republicans think that repealing Obamacare would not be popular? The bill that Senate Republicans are putting forward is 95% Obamacare and is a joke. The McConnell-care bill is so weak that even Jonathan Gruber, a chief architect of Obamacare agrees that it is not a repeal. We never move in the direction of free market capitalism, of choice, and liberty. We seem bound in the box the left has made for us. After that, Daniel Horowitz calls in to explain that the Republican healthcare plan is not even Obamacare 2.0 or Obamacare lite but keeps the core pillars of Obamacare. We get the crony capitalism of the private sector lobbyists and government interference all together. McConnell said he was going to rip Obamacare out root and branch, but what he really meant was that he was going to take it out of the Democrat field and replant it on the Republican side. The real difference is Democrats want Obamacare funded with tax increases and Republicans want it funded with deficit spending. This plan will be the biggest driver of deficit spending. Later, the ideology of Statism appears in many ways like healthcare, education, immigration, and even our governing system. It is a bulldozer that plows over our institutions. You are not free to have the healthcare you want in this society as an individual, because the only way you can be free in the statist mentality is among the collective. The left believe you can only be free by way of the government. That means that the government has to make things equal and eliminate risks which of course it can't. True freedom includes the unalienable rights of the individual. Finally, the Russians tried to interfere with the 2016 election and the Obama Administration failed to stop them. Even President Trump is asking why didn’t they do anything to stop the Russians from hacking?

Republican Karen Handel’s victory in the special election for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District won’t change anything. America’s post-Constitutional situation, with a massive debt, open borders, and an entrenched administrative state, won’t be affected at all. The reason for this intransigence is a decades-long campaign by the political Left to put anti-constitutional structures in place of our proper federal order. The real lesson to be gained from Handel’s election is that no matter how many elections we win, we do not unravel what the statists and the progressives have built, which is a government that has devoured our constitutional system. After that, Jeh Johnson testified at a House hearing on Russian hacking. Didn’t this hacking happen under Barack Obama, Johnson and Loretta Lynch's watch? Well for a while they covered it up and didn’t tell the American people; they sat on this information until October. Johnson pats himself on the back for getting the information out about the Russian hacking weeks before the election. Why not months? They thought Hillary was going to win and that is why they didn’t want to upset this outcome. The hiding of this crucial information about Russian interference was purely partisan. It’s not Trump colluding with the Russians, it is the Obama Administration concealing what the Russians did in order to help Hillary so her election would not appear tainted. In addition, there was no collusion between Trump and the Russians. There is no witness anywhere that has said otherwise. Finally, the new Republican healthcare bill coming through the Senate is not repeal. They are scaling back parts of Obamacare while increasing certain subsidies.

Bernie Sanders is a radical Marxist who believes in violence. Sanders fancies himself a revolutionary and touts an old form of centralized tyranny, but what he preaches is a form of societal perversion and requires a powerful centralized police state. Has Sanders spoke out against his own base for creating violence? No. He is the most irresponsible politician in America and is the most aggressive politician when it comes to overturning the society. In addition, capitalism is the best system of wealth creation which socialists and Marxists like Sanders continue to attack. In order to be economically “equal”, you have to destroy the human spirit, private property rights and other things. You would think Sanders would really talk about Venezuela, but he doesn’t’. In Venezuela you have very few rich and many poor. You have the complete destruction of the civil society and economy, because socialism and Sander’s propaganda doesn’t work. Also, Sanders claims that what the Republicans are doing to Obamacare will kill thousands of people. Claims like this push people to the edge. To add, when Republicans buy into socialism they give it aid and comfort. They were given control of Congress yet nothing they said they would do has been done. Later, Sen Ted Cruz calls in to talk about free speech on college campuses. Free speech used to be an accepted proposition at colleges and universities. Now faculty and administrators at so many colleges are afraid of disagreement and debate. Now they use their power to eliminate dissent.

The long-held official policy of the Department of Justice is that a sitting president of the United States cannot be indicted, according to an official 1973/2000 DOJ memoranda. All this talk about whether President Trump personally is under investigation for obstruction of justice, or whether Trump violated the law, will never go to court. If Robert Mueller should seek to indict Trump in the end the Supreme Court would throw it out. So why does the endless cloud of investigation around the Trump administration exist? It exists generally to distract and derail Trump's presidency, and specifically for the purposes of impeachment. In addition, James Comey's notes don't say that Trump directed or ordered him to stop any investigation. The memo and the parts of it that Comey leaked does not say what Comey testified to. Later, Otto Warmbier was a young man who stopped in North Korea on his way to Hong Kong and was imprisoned by the North Koreans for taking down a banner. He didn’t die of botulism as the North Koreans suggest but was murdered by them. This is why we need to put pressure on China, even if it be sanctions, to stop North Korea and take out Kim Jong Un. Barack Obama did nothing to deal with North Korea, so Trump has to pick up the pieces.
