6/4/26 - The AI Jobs Boom: What You Haven't Been Told

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, WJNO’s Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. The AI jobs boom is coming. But there’s a tale of two economies, where investors have enjoyed a phenomenal stock market run driven by AI, while everyday life feels strained by high gas and grocery prices. Despite concerns over AI job losses, Iran-related issues, and costs, there is strong economic momentum and Reaganomics-style trickle-down effects, with wealth from companies redeploying across the economy.  April saw 115,000 jobs added driven by actual American workers, with 3.6% wage growth exceeding inflation. Tech jobs cut by AI have been more than offset by gains in construction, utilities, and AI-supporting infrastructure, signaling booming AI-related job creation in the early months of this shift. Meanwhile, the current average gas price is around $4.24 per gallon; even if sustained all year on an inflation-adjusted basis, it would rank only as the 9th most expensive year in U.S. history, with four of the top five (including the top three) most expensive years occurring under the Obama administration. Also, President Trump sidelined Maduro in Venezuela—redirecting its vast oil reserves (previously 80% to China, though only 2% of China's supply) to the US via Chevron, boosting production 50%—and now targeting Iran (47% of China's oil), Trump has disrupted China's new Axis network of allies (including Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua). This strategically hampers China's military capabilities, preventing escalation to World War III.  Later, this version of the Democrat party is the most dangerous yet.  Sen Chuck Schumer opposed funding reconciliation for the Department of Homeland Security, including $140 billion for Border Patrol and ICE. Democrats' support for the BLM-led defund the police movement caused total crime rates to rise 30% and murders 44% in embracing communities, with devastating effects. Open border policies under President Biden allowed criminal illegal aliens to run rampant, committing a quarter of all U.S. crime. If you vote for Democrats, you are voting for more murders and crime to take place. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, the House is trying to use the unconstitutional War Powers Act to end the war against Iran. The Democrats and 4 Republicans voted for it, so it passed in the House. It might pass in the Senate. But it does not matter. President Trump would veto it, and Congress does not have 2/3rds majority to override the veto. The Democrats know this, as do the rogue Republicans who join them. It's performative. Also, why do Israeli leaders face public berating and pressure from the U.S., while Arab kings, dictators, Crown Prince’s, and Iran's regime are never criticized. This occurs because Israel is a democracy reliant on U.S. support, allowing efforts to undermine its government and encourage rivals, amplified by Israel's left-wing media. As Israel's elected leader of a war-weary democracy, Benjamin Netanyahu should not yield to Iran to preserve talks. The U.S. needs to finish the Iranian regime and arming its people seeking liberation. We don’t want to see a "Bridge over the River Kwai" syndrome where attachment to a deal causes loss of the core mission. Later, coming off his primary win for Governor of California, Steve Hilton calls in to discuss his race to the general election in November. There is a majority who want change in California.  Afterward, the Democrat Party serves as the vessel for Islamists and Marxists to seize control of the U.S. government, as these groups avoid Republican primaries and instead target dark blue districts where primary wins guarantee victory. Low American voter turnout combined with ruthless Muslim bloc voting has enabled conquest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, in a Senate hearing, Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified on Iran negotiations, emphasizing condition-based sanctions relief and the critical need to address Iran's ballistic missile capabilities. Any sanctions relief for Iran would fund the regime's army, IRGC, and security forces rather than the suffering people. We need to arm the Iranian people to enable an uprising. This terrorist regime seeks to destroy America and Israel while the current efforts fail to apply maximum pressure. We should not negotiate with or cut deals with terrorists because it emboldens enemies. The isolationists and the Woke Reich give aid and comfort to our adversaries. There is a growing domestic Marxist-Islamist threat, funded by Qatar, China, and others, that is organizing, building enclaves, and infiltrating politics. In breaking news, there are reports of multiple explosions in Bahrain, hours after Iran claimed precise missile strikes on U.S. bases in Kuwait and the IRGC warned of further seismic responses to American actions. Iran appears emboldened rather than defeated by reading U.S. restraint as weakness. The IRGC needs to be pounded, and the Iranian people need to be armed.  Later, the core defect of Marxism is its fundamental misstatement and misapplication of human nature. Rather than being an economic philosophy aimed at equality or fairness, it uses economics and redistribution as camouflage to advance totalitarianism, seeking to control individuals, thought processes, and ultimately create a society of compliant robots. This ideology, like Islam, employs appeal to compassion and justice as propaganda while intending the opposite. It cannot work because human nature, created by God, cannot be intentionally destroyed and rejiggered by man. The practical goal is demographic transformation to build dependent, like-minded societies that can be dominated, eventually extending this control nationally. Finally, Noah Rothman calls in to discuss his book, Blood and Progress: A Century of Left-Wing Violence in America. https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Progress-Century-Left-Wing-Violence/dp/1546011412/ref=sr_1_1?crid Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, on October 7, 2023, Palestinian terrorists from Gaza, backed by Qatar, Turkey, and Iran, attacked Israel, murdering 1,200 people through extreme brutality. If drug cartels had done the same on the Texas border the U.S. would not tolerate it or fight with the restraint Israel showed in Gaza, such as issuing warnings and leaflets. Israel, a small nation, has faced ongoing attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah yet is repeatedly told to back off just as it nears destroying these groups, allowing Hamas to rearm despite a supposed peace deal. The U.S. fought Iran alongside Israel, but now pressures Israel to stop while Hamas remains armed and Hezbollah continues threats. Why is Israel not permitted to fully defend itself? Afterward, the leak in Axios was a violation of federal law and provided support to the Iranian regime and its Hezbollah proxy. Whomever leaked that story to Barack Ravid did a grave disservice to our country, to our president, to Israel, and to Israel's prime minister. The Iranian regime will benefit from that leak, viewing us as weak and desperate for a deal -- even coming to Hezbollah's defense. Will there be an FBI investigation to determine who leaked? If not, why not? Also, we will soon celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Every delegate who signed the document had signed their own death warrant.   Let us remember this when we listen to the debates about whether or not we should defeat the Iranian regime.  All the arguments and even excuses against it -- despite 47-years of it killing and maiming thousands of our fellow countrymen, and a far more dangerous and diabolical ideological agenda than that of the British monarchy. Yet, George Washington and the brave founders of our country personally risked everything. Ultimately, the British forces surrendered.  The Iranian regime will never surrender.  And they will never abide by a deal, any more than they have abided by a ceasefire. Later, Bari Weiss is a genuine journalist who is challenging CBS's entrenched radical mindset by promoting more moderate, professional journalists, which has provoked attacks from figures like Scott Pelley. There are CBS personalities like Pelley who are whiny, narcissistic, privileged, entitled buffoons who are driving down ratings. Meanwhile, Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur are complaining that they were banned from Britain over their views on Israel and terrorism, while affirming First Amendment free speech. They hate America, trash its Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment values, and support regimes like communist China, Cuba, Islamist Iran, and Turkey where free speech is suppressed—yet demand sympathy when facing restrictions themselves.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the media is truly stupid in its reporting on the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, which portrayed PM Benjamin Netanyahu as the unprovoked aggressor hammering Lebanon with no context whatsoever. In reality, while Iran negotiates with the United States, its proxy Hezbollah has launched more missiles and drones at northern Israel than ever before, killing people, and forcing evacuations as part of a deliberate plan to drive Israelis out of the north and then the center, concentrating the population in a tiny area. The entire ruling class—including Democrats, some Republicans, and the media—is pathetically weak and stupid, while many podcasters gain attention simply by being as obnoxious, vile, and poisonous as possible. Also, congratulations to the terror lobby of Arabs and Islamists for successfully electing candidates to Congress exclusively within the Democrat Party, which is flooded with Marxists and Islamists. One such candidate is Adam Hamawy who traveled with the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman as translator and witness on his behalf, plus his work in Bosnia with an Al Qaeda front group. Despite these ties, Hamawy has endorsements from Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib. The Democrat Party supports Nazis, Marxists, and Islamists for office. The Iran deal reportedly offers immediate release of billions in frozen funds, discussions on sanctions relief, and humanitarian aid in exchange for Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and forswearing nuclear weapons development for 60 days. This agreement provides a massive financial infusion to the regime—funding the IRGC and police state—without addressing ballistic missiles or the regime’s brutality against its people. Why is economic and military pressure being lifted before securing firm concessions Enforcement will be impossible given the regime’s terrorist history, especially after the Trump presidency.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, an Iran deal is not the answer. The enemy cannot be trusted; they are terrorists who have lied, cheated, and violated every agreement for 47 years. Their 7th-century Islamist fundamentalist ideology makes honoring deals with the West impossible, as they are driven by a death cult to spread revolution rather than obligations to the “Big Satan.” There is no proof the deal will contain Iran, and the terrorist regime will not comply long-term, especially after President Trump leaves office. Also, the House Judiciary Committee released a memo detailing the Biden-Harris administration’s misuse of taxpayer dollars through USAID, the State Department, and other agencies to fund anti-Netanyahu NGOs and radical anti-Israel protests, some with ties to terrorist organizations. The Democrat Party is aligning with Islamists, Marxists, Qataris, Iranians, Turks, and Chinese Communists in efforts against Israel. Later, Canada's socialist healthcare system now provides assisted suicide with same-day appointments. This system, which Bernie Sanders wants to import to the US, makes death easy and cheap while treating care as a rationed resource, akin to Soviet breadlines. "Free" universal healthcare means paying in time and lives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the Iran deal reportedly offers immediate release of billions in frozen funds, discussions on sanctions relief, and humanitarian aid in exchange for Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and forswearing nuclear weapons development for 60 days. This agreement provides a massive financial infusion to the regime—funding the IRGC and police state—without addressing ballistic missiles or the regime’s brutality against its people. Why is economic and military pressure being lifted before securing firm concessions? Our negotiators must understand what happens if this isn’t locked down tight. Even more, they need to be straightforward in their advice to the President that a deal may be the worst way to attempt to end the war.   If the regime survives, it will become even stronger over time, and the threat to our country and Israel will be hard to overstate. The callers have made clear they want the Iranian regime destroyed and no deal. The audience is very smart about the Iranian regime and the ramifications if it is not defeated -- political, military, and future ramifications. Later, Erica Kirk, still grieving the assassination of her wonderful husband less than a year ago, continues to face torment. Jocko Wensk was arrested after making multiple terroristic threats, including plans to bomb a Turning Point USA Women's Leadership Summit in San Antonio. Afterward, soaring interest costs on the national debt are sparking warnings of a potential debt spiral from center-left economists and policy experts. Despite the left typically downplaying the issue, this long-term problem—driven by out-of-control debt, unfunded obligations, and lack of political will to cut spending—risks a domino effect of rising interest rates, higher inflation, destruction of paper money's value, and collapse of the nation's fiscal house.  Finally, Steve Deace calls in to discuss his new children’s book - Why Independence Day?: America Is Great Because God Is Good.

The Democrat Party supports Nazis, Marxists, and Islamists for office. Meanwhile, Sen Democrat Chris Van Hollen is the Islamists' greatest friend in Congress for constantly attacking Israel, praising CAIR, defending Iran and Qatar, and authoring a New York Times op-ed calling to break with and defund Israel. Also, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's housing plan is a Marxist scheme to steal private property. His plan will crush private landlords through low rents, high taxes, and regulations designed to force foreclosures so the city can seize properties, which is legalized theft consistent with socialist and Marxist principles. Later, Sean Hannity calls in to announce that Mark Levin will be his guest on his video podcast - Hang Out with Sean Hannity and a trip down memory lane. Learn more about your ad choices.

In reality, while Iran negotiates with the United States, its proxy Hezbollah has launched more missiles and drones at northern Israel than ever before, killing people, and forcing evacuations as part of a deliberate plan to drive Israelis out of the north and then the center, concentrating the population in a tiny area. The entire ruling class—including Democrats, some Republicans, and the media—is pathetically weak and stupid, while many podcasters gain attention simply by being as obnoxious, vile, and poisonous as possible. Also, it’s a tough challenge to keep an Islamist, Nazi, 7th-century, barbaric, primitive ideological regime contained when one of its core principles is to lie, cheat, deceive, and conceal during any deals. The Iranian regime exists solely to promote a revolution by imposing its Islamist Nazi ideology on the West and every other corner of the world; it will not negotiate that objective away. They are the warmongers, while the United States is simply trying to defend itself. Later, Rep Chip Roy calls in to explain what’s at stake in today’s primary runoff election for Texas Attorney General. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued an administrative subpoena to Hasan Piker and Code Pink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin for possibly violating Cuba sanctions during a March trip to the island for an “ideologically charged transnational convergence of Communists.”  Piker identified billionaire Neville Roy Singham as the key “funding vehicle” behind a network of tax-exempt nonprofits that organize and finance anti-American street protests and political movements. These tax-exempt groups function as overt political operations in violation of nonprofit laws. Finally, Roy Altman calls in to discuss his new book - Israel on Trial: Examining the History, the Evidence, and the Law. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Memorial Day. Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is a profoundly disturbed individual whom Democrats refuse to disavow because they prioritize power above all else. Platner, who’s a self-described Communist, trashes American troops and police and he must be stopped from reaching the Senate. Then there’s a woman running in the Democrat primary for Texas’s 35th congressional district who advocated placing Zionists in concentration camps and worse. Jewish elected Democrats need to leave this party, which is now the party of Islamists, Marxists, and neo-Nazis. Also, WABC’s John Catsimatidis calls in to discuss the difficulties of running supermarkets in NYC and the proposal by Mayor Mamdani for city government-run grocery stores. He argued that government stores giving away these products would take sales from private businesses, harming the workers who labor 70-80 hours a week and ultimately burdening taxpayers when the city absorbs the losses, while politicians face no consequences. Later, a history lesson on the electoral college. Afterward, callers weigh in on and express their desire for the Iranian regime to be defeated!  Finally, Gad Saad calls in to discuss his new book - Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind. This book is not an attack on empathy itself—an evolutionarily relevant virtue rooted in theory of mind or cognitive empathy that enables good human interactions—but rather a warning against its hyper-firing in the wrong situations toward the wrong targets. This critique of maladaptively irrational altruism has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. Learn more about your ad choices.
