Despite initial rejections, he continued to pursue his interest in radio and eventually became a regular guest on various shows. Later, he was given the opportunity to host a Sunday show on WABC New York, and the success of that led to a full-time position.

      The speaker, Dan, shares a deep appreciation for Mark's authenticity and principled approach to broadcasting, which resonates strongly with his audience. He recalls discovering Mark's show years ago and being impressed by his unique style and ability to make complex issues understandable to the public. Dan also expresses disappointment in the media's response to President Trump's decision to take out Iranian general Soleimani, describing it as abhorrent and even acting in the interests of the Iranians. He believes that Trump's bold decision was necessary, but the media's coverage has been biased and partisan. Dan's admiration for Mark's unwavering commitment to truth and principles is evident in his continued praise and admiration for his friend and colleague.

    • Speaker's Criticism of Media, Democrats, and Pelosi's Handling of Foreign PolicyThe speaker criticizes media, Democrats, and Pelosi for their handling of foreign policy, especially Iran, and their perceived lack of morality and alignment with the radical left. Impeachment efforts against the president are seen as a strategic disaster with little public support.

      The speaker expresses strong criticism towards the media, Democrats, and Nancy Pelosi for their handling of foreign policy issues, particularly regarding Iran, and their perceived lack of morality and alignment with the radical left. They believe Pelosi's impeachment efforts against the president have been a strategic disaster for the Democrats, with little public support and no leverage left to remove the president. The speaker's overall message is that these actions demonstrate the immorality and partisan nature of the media and Democrats, and the American people are becoming aware of it.

    • Criticizing Pelosi's Impeachment Process as UnconstitutionalMark Levin argues the impeachment process initiated by Pelosi is unconstitutional, as it's based on policy and agenda differences, not constitutional violations, and uses terms not in the Constitution.

      The impeachment process initiated by Nancy Pelosi in the House of Representatives has been widely criticized as a constitutional disaster. Mark Levin argues that Pelosi changed the basis for impeachment to something the framers specifically rejected, making it about policy and agenda differences between the branches. The terms used in the articles of impeachment, such as "abuse of power" and "obstructing Congress," are not in the Constitution and are self-fulfilling depending on who uses them. Levin believes the Senate should reject this unconstitutional process and protect the Constitution. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of the press in the Trump era, as outlined in his book "Unfreedom of the Press." Additionally, Levin recalls an instance where Brian Stelter, a CNN host, publicly mocked him regarding the "Spygate" scandal, but later acknowledges that Levin was right about the situation. Levin believes this scandal will go down as one of the biggest political scandals in American history, but it depends on who writes the history.

    • Concerns over a 'soft coup' in American politicsSpeaker expresses deep concern over perceived collusion between Obama admin and media to undermine a candidate and president, warning of dangerous precedent for democracy and liberty.

      During this conversation, the speaker expressed deep concern over what they perceive as a "soft coup" orchestrated by elements within the Obama administration and the media to undermine a presidential candidate and later a sitting president. They believe that this collaboration between government officials and media outlets is a dangerous precedent that threatens American democracy and liberty. The speaker recounted their experience of being attacked as a conspiracy theorist after exposing what they believed to be a pattern of leaks intended to diminish the president. They emphasized that the real scandal was not the content of the leaks, but the fact that they were leaked at all. The speaker remains uncertain about the outcome of ongoing investigations, but is adamant that if this behavior is not addressed, it will continue to be used as a tool by the left and championed by the media.

    • Speaker criticizes lack of professionalism in media, using CNN's Brian Stelter as an exampleSpeaker emphasizes importance of using credible sources and investigative journalism, praises Mark Levin, and criticizes Stelter for attacking without investigation

      During a conversation, the speaker expressed his concern about the lack of professionalism and experience in modern media, using CNN's Brian Stelter as an example. He criticized Stelter for attacking him over the existence of a FISA application without being curious about the evidence from multiple sources. The speaker also highlighted the importance of using credible sources, even if they are from the opposing political spectrum, and praised Mark Levin for his investigative journalism and long-form interviews. Additionally, the speaker acknowledged President Trump's contributions to the Republican Party but expressed disappointment over the loss of the spending debate initiative. He concluded by promoting Mark Levin's show and reminiscing about the impact of Levin's book "Liberty and Tyranny" on the Tea Party movement.

    • US Fiscal Policy: A Predictable Financial CrisisThe US faces a potential debt apocalypse due to unsustainable annual deficits and unfunded liabilities exceeding $250 trillion. Urgent attention and action from policymakers is needed to prevent severe consequences.

      The current state of US fiscal policy is unsustainable. The annual trillion-dollar deficits, combined with unfunded liabilities totaling over $250 trillion, are pushing the country towards a potential debt apocalypse. The lack of focus on fiscal conservatism in Congress and the continued expansion of government programs and entitlements are contributing factors. This issue may not be as exciting as other political news, but it is a predictable financial crisis that could have severe consequences when it eventually occurs. The rules of economics are unyielding, and no amount of legislation or votes can prevent it once it sets in motion. It is a topic that requires urgent attention and action from policymakers.

    • Political climate challenges and the importance of upholding the value of money and the ConstitutionDespite ongoing debates about government intervention, it's crucial to acknowledge the importance of fiscal responsibility, upholding the Constitution, and staying vigilant in the political process.

      The current political climate is facing significant challenges, with both major parties leaning towards varying degrees of socialism, and a lack of fiscal responsibility. The value of money is essential, and counterfeiting it undermines that value. The Constitution is not being upheld as it should be, and the government's role in our lives is a contentious issue. It's important to acknowledge that those in power may not always have our best interests at heart, and there's a need for more fiscal responsibility and adherence to the Constitution. The ongoing debate about government intervention in various aspects of our lives highlights the importance of being vigilant and engaged in the political process.

    • Getting out the vote is crucial for Trump's reelectionThree million Obama voters not showing up in 2016 could change the election outcome. Be a precinct captain, encourage family and friends to vote, and overwhelm the opposition to win.

      The 2020 elections are expected to be close, and it's crucial for voters to turn out in large numbers to ensure President Trump's reelection. Mark Levin emphasized the importance of getting out the vote, as three million Obama voters who didn't show up in 2016 could potentially make a difference in this election. He also noted that the Democrats have been working to change the population of the country in their favor, leading to an increase in Democratic votes. Levin encouraged listeners to be their own precinct captains and get their family and friends out to vote. He emphasized the importance of overwhelming the opposition and winning the political battle.

    • Mark Levin: Votes, Not Confidence, Win ElectionsMark Levin emphasizes the importance of voting and encourages people to exercise their right, stating that anxious people tend to vote and reassurance of election outcomes is not effective. Mark Levin's show, 'Life, Liberty & Levin,' airs on Sundays, and his book 'Unfreedom of the Press' is recommended reading before the election.

      Confidence alone does not win elections, but votes do. Mark Levin shared this perspective during a conversation, emphasizing that anxious people tend to vote, and it's essential not to reassure them that the outcome is already decided. Instead, encouraging people to exercise their right to vote is crucial. Additionally, Mark Levin was recognized for his powerful presence in broadcasting, with The Washington Times acknowledging him as one of the most influential names in the industry. Mark Levin's show, "Life, Liberty & Levin," airs on Sundays at 8 p.m., and his book "Unfreedom of the Press" is a must-read before the election. Overall, Mark Levin's impact on broadcasting and inspiring the next generation of broadcasters is significant, making him a respected and influential figure in media.

    Double Standard On Age For Trump And Biden?

    Double Standard On Age For Trump And Biden?
    On June 14, Donald Trump will turn 78 years old.

    Joe Biden turned 81 in November.

    Whether the candidates like it or not, age, mental acuity and physical fitness are issues dominating the 2024 election cycle.

    Though the two men were born fewer than four years apart, voters have consistently expressed more concern about Biden's age than Trump's.

    Is a double standard being applied when it comes to the presidential candidates and age?
