Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 11/24/21

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, the Democrat Party is trying to steal the Senate. A New York Times report says that allies of Mary Peltola orchestrated a “Ballot Composition Project” in Alaska aimed at recruiting spoiler candidates, including another candidate named Dan Sullivan, to create voter confusion and weaken support for incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan. Campaign aides, Democratic operatives, lawyers, and officials connected to Chuck Schumer’s Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee were involved in a coordinated effort to shape the ballot. The operation sought to recruit multiple candidates to dilute the incumbent’s vote and improve Peltola’s chances in a closely watched Senate race. The objective of this plot is simple: power at all costs.  Also, there are allegations surrounding Abdul El-Sayed’s family connections to Life for Relief and Development, a charity he says had members with Muslim Brotherhood ties and a history of federal investigations, FBI and U.S. military raids, sanctions violations, and a settlement with the Office of Foreign Assets Control over allegations of funneling money to Saddam Hussein’s regime. El-Sayed’s father, Dr. Mohammed El-Sayed, served on the organization’s board, while other family members were connected to related organizations that later faced scrutiny for alleged terrorist ties. Michigan needs to disregard the polling and vote.  Later, Bruce Blakeman calls in and makes his closing case for New York governor. NY is in a death spiral under Kathy Hochul - high taxes, rising utility costs, job losses, population decline, and poor economic performance. Blakeman warned that the state is running out of time to reverse its decline. A victory would protect rights, reduce taxes, improve public safety, and put NY on a path toward renewal. Afterward, Netanyahu, Likud, and the conservative parties have defeated Eisenkot and the opposition non-Arab parties. Netanyahu won. Eisenkot lost.  Why would President Herzog, as reported, choose the Eisenkot opposition to take the first shot a building a majority coalition when they lost to the Netanyahu coalition?  And, if the Netanyahu coalition cannot pull together a majority, and the Eisenkot opposition fails, why shouldn't there be another election?  Why should Netanyahu agree to a plan, also in the press, where Herzog offers Netanyahu a deal in which he is PM for 2-years plus he will pardon him on the legal charges (when, in fact, the charges have fallen to pieces and the abuses around them are now public and appalling), if Netanyahu agrees to hand the PM job to Eisenkot thereafter? Finally, Sen Ed Marrkey calls for a national strike, which mirrors a plan being promoted by the Democratic Socialists of America to disrupt the economy, create chaos through protests, road blockages, and civil unrest, and provoke a government response. Communists, Islamists, and billionaire-backed groups are organizing toward this objective. Political opponents are seeking to undermine constitutional norms, eliminate the filibuster, and use organized protests, radical unions, Antifa, and other activist groups to pressure the country if they face resistance. Such actions encourage mob rule, violence, riots, and attacks on American institutions while presenting themselves as opposition to those outcomes. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, the outcome of the midterm elections will be determined by voter turnout, not by polls or surveys. If you do not vote, they win. And if they win, we lose our country. President Trump is breaking his back carrying the Republican party over the finish line because he knows what's at stake. Republicans must make the case for the Constitution. Meanwhile, Israel’s election is today. Israel’s coalition-based parliamentary system is overly fragmented, and no prime minister can govern without assembling a coalition among numerous parties. According to Channel 14, Netanyahu, Likud, and the right-wing coalition are at 61-62. Despite all the spin about the opposition and the Arab parties and Likud, the largest party, lost votes, etc., if this holds the government effectively won re-election. We will know shortly. Also, there’s positive economic news - a sharp rise in consumer confidence that exceeded expectations, increasing from the prior month to 91.7 and marking the first gain in four months. This is thanks to President Trump’s efforts to grow the economy, lower costs, boost employment, and increase incomes. In contrast, if Democrats win both Houses their policies would increase spending, debt, inflation, and would threaten key institutions. Later, Sen Dan Sullivan joins the show to break down his re-election for Alaska’s Senator. This race is critical for both Alaska and the nation; Alaska serves as a firewall for freedom by helping prevent Chuck Schumer from becoming majority leader and keeping Mary Peltola from returning to Congress. Afterward, Rep Byron Donalds calls in with an update on his run for Florida Governor. Florida Republicans have built an advantage in early and absentee voting but success depends on voters continuing to turn out through Election Day. This election is a choice between maintaining Florida’s current conservative, low-tax model and moving toward larger government and higher spending.  Finally, Sen Darline Graham calls in with an update on her re-election for South Carolina Senate. She is pro-life, supports law enforcement, and backs the Second Amendment, while her opponent is a radical liberal who supports abortion later in pregnancy, wants to defund the police, and has received significant compensation from an anti-gun activist groups. Graham said the race remains close because some voters are being persuaded by campaign advertising – don’t fall for it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, ignore the flood of contradictory polls, surveys, and pundit predictions that create anxiety and confusion. The most important thing is simply to vote – straight Republican ticket. As in the United States, Israel also has a significant portion of the population that supports self-destruction. The Israeli left is partnering with Arab parties who deny Israel's right to existence. They're doing this for one purpose: power.  Meanwhile, the entire Democratic party knows Abdul El-Sayed and his family are tied to CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood but are foursquare behind him anyway. The Muslim Brotherhood is the central source of many terrorist organizations and holds responsibility for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people. Allowing someone with such alleged connections to serve in the United States Senate is dangerous. We must draw the line against this in Michigan and across the country to prevent the nation from continuing an Islamist course. Later, Vivek Ramaswamy to discuss his run for Governor in Ohio. This election is a defining moment for Ohio; it’s a choice between conservative principles and a growing socialist agenda. Amy Acton is a figurehead for a political apparatus, avoids debates, and does not independently represent Ohio voters. We must preserve Ohio’s traditional values, rule of law, economic freedom, and individual liberty. Finally, Steve Hilton joins the show and says that his campaign for California governor is gaining momentum as he travels the state and hears growing calls for change, including from lifelong Democrats who say they plan to vote for him. He argued that recent polling shows a much closer race than traditional establishment polls suggest and said voters are increasingly frustrated with the status quo. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Americans have a crucial opportunity to reject the path that France, Belgium, and Britain have taken and to do so through voting, particularly by turning out in large numbers during early voting and on Election Day. The social and political conditions in parts of Europe could spread if left unchecked. This election is about protecting liberty, honoring the sacrifices of previous generations, maintaining the American melting pot, and ensuring that cultural and religious traditions coexist without being imposed on society through intimidation, violence, or coercion. CNN is the Al-Jazeera of America. They have become closely aligned with and financially influenced by Qatar. CNN quietly removed highly favorable language about Qatar from promotional materials for its upcoming Global Perspectives forum in Doha after scrutiny. Qatar uses its money to buy influence across media, universities, politics, and public institutions, while promoting its interests through outlets such as Al Jazeera and relationships with organizations like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. CNN’s Qatar-backed events, Doha bureau, and revised conference agenda demonstrate that the network has compromised its journalistic independence. CNN has effectively become a vehicle for advancing Qatari interests rather than operating as an independent news organization. Later, we need to continue to reach people across the country and around the world to help turn out voters, clarify the mission, and encourage participation in the election, regardless of polls, surveys, commentators, or experts. The ultimate decision about the country's future rests with the American people, not pollsters. Election predictions have shifted from expectations of a sweeping Democrat victory to increasing uncertainty among so-called experts. We need to vote early, and bring friends, family, and members of their social and religious communities to vote as well. France serves as a warning that civilization is not immortal. Western countries have ignored signs of social and cultural decline for decades. Nations that admit or tolerate people who hate their societies risk undermining their own survival. A civilization cannot survive if it continually weakens itself by welcoming people who oppose its values and interests. France’s unrest is partly the result of allowing in people hostile to the country; Britain faces a similar danger, and the United States could experience the same fate if it follows a similar path.

On Friday’s Mark Levin show, Rich Valdes fills in for Mark. Zohran Mamdani is an example of what can happen when voters make the wrong choice. His Socialist agenda could spread to other states if voters do not become more engaged.  This election is a choice between advancing President Trump’s America First agenda and allowing progressive candidates to gain more influence. The next two years will either be gridlock or green lights. We must act as though we are behind in order to make a difference and help shape the next phase of America. Every American has a role in shaping the future of the country and must decide what kind of America they want future generations to inherit. Also, will the real Ilhan Omar please stand up? New reporting shows that her birth name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, the same surname as Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, the man she married and who many believe is her brother. Benefit of the doubt is off the table for Omar, Abdul El-Sayed, or anyone else in the Islamist orbit after so many lies, from Gaza's human-shield denials to the UNRWA scandal.  Later, Democrats are sending Bill and Hillary Clinton to Florida to rescue their candidates, with the former president complaining that Muslims are being denigrated. The real problem was never ordinary Muslims. It is the Islamists and their regime in Iran, from Ayatollah Khomeini to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Abbas Araghchi, that has oppressed the Persian people for decades.  Afterward, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rallies in Maine for Senate candidate Troy Jackson, claiming the Iran war is being paid for with Americans’ health care and promising day-one investigations into every Trump agency if Democrats win the House. Government exists to protect Americans from their enemies, not to hand out health care, and AOC has passed almost nothing in her years in Congress. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, France serves as a warning that civilization is not immortal. Western countries have ignored signs of social and cultural decline for decades. Nations that admit or tolerate people who hate their societies risk undermining their own survival. A civilization cannot survive if it continually weakens itself by welcoming people who oppose its values and interests. France’s unrest is partly the result of allowing in people hostile to the country; Britain faces a similar danger, and the United States could experience the same fate if it follows a similar path. Also, since Dearborn, Michigan will overwhelmingly support Abdul El-Sayed, it is critical for voters across the rest of Michigan to turn out, vote early or submit ballots, and encourage family, friends, and community members to do the same. This election will affect the future of the country and future generations. Republicans need to stay focused on winning elections and not be distracted by internal disputes. Democrats are tied to extremists, Marxists, and groups that threaten the country. Most Americans love their country, support the Constitution, oppose open borders, and reject policies that would weaken the nation's system.  Meanwhile, Democrats are fighting efforts to clean up voter rolls, even as the Justice Department identifies 20,000 ineligible voters who received ballots in California and the case lands before Judge David Carter, who has already shown open hostility to the DOJ. Attorney General Todd Blanche asks why no one in California wants to fix it.  Finally, Katie Zacharia joins the show and describes traveling with President Trump on his midterm blitz through Alaska, Arizona, and Montana, with rallies as packed as 2024, and points to the Alaska LNG pipeline and new energy projects as real results. She points to Gavin Newsom's record in California, from the train to nowhere to the nation's worst literacy rate and highest energy prices, and warns that Democrats would turn the weaponized legal system on ordinary Americans. Holding the Senate is critical to confirming judges and justices who will defend the Constitution. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Election predictions have shifted from expectations of a sweeping Democrat victory to increasing uncertainty among so-called experts. We need to vote early, and bring friends, family, and members of their social and religious communities to vote as well. Also, the U.S. administration has directed embassies in Arab states across the Middle East to reduce personnel, while a reported lengthy meeting took place between Secretary Pete Hegseth and Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli jets have been flying through Syrian and Iraqi airspace up to Iran’s border, testing conditions and keeping Iran on high alert, and that a third carrier has been deployed, which suggests that something is stirring. Iran appears to be moving equipment, uranium, or other assets to hardened locations, which proves that it is not backing down.  Later, the Constitution was designed around enduring principles, protecting individual liberty from federal government intrusion while originally leaving most matters involving individual rights to the states. The Bill of Rights initially applied only to the federal government and was later extended to the states through Supreme Court decisions. Abdul El-Sayed is a Constitutional liberate, who is misrepresenting originalism and the Second Amendment by focusing on muskets rather than the broader constitutional right to bear arms.  Afterward, millions of people are leaving blue states for red states because nothing is cheaper in blue states. They have higher costs for electricity, gasoline, housing, food, and property taxes. What do Democrats offer on affordability? Finally, Gov Greg Abbott calls in explains that CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood pose a great danger, which is why he designated them as foreign terrorist organizations. Yet CAIR supports his opponent, Gina Hinojosa. If elected Hinojosa would have serious consequences for Texas and the country. Texans need to get out and vote. Learn more about your ad choices.

CNN quietly removed highly favorable language about Qatar from promotional materials for its upcoming Global Perspectives forum in Doha after scrutiny. Qatar uses its money to buy influence across media, universities, politics, and public institutions, while promoting its interests through outlets such as Al Jazeera and relationships with organizations like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. CNN’s Qatar-backed events, Doha bureau, and revised conference agenda demonstrate that the network has compromised its journalistic independence. CNN has effectively become a vehicle for advancing Qatari interests rather than operating as an independent news organization. Meanwhile, a movement called “Chaos, Inc.” has expanded to 101 organizations across nine countries that are coordinating, organizing, or amplifying protests in Europe and potentially the United States. These groups are connected through a Marxist-Islamist alliance, involving Antifa, Code Pink, and other left-wing activist networks, and are being funded and supported by the Chinese Communist Party, Qatar, and billionaire Neville Roy Singham. Later, Dr James Lindsay calls in and explains that the National Conservatism (NatCon) movement is attempting to replace constitutional and classical liberal conservatism with a new collectivist ideology centered on loyalty, nationalism, and state-directed notions of the common good. NatCon and its allies attack foundational influences such as John Locke, mischaracterize supporters of the Constitution as “liberals,” and promote a vision that subordinates individual liberty to national or collective interests. The movement advocates greater state involvement in economic, social, religious, and personal affairs under the banner of the common good, which he says resembles socialist or Marxist methods despite different goals. Finally, Rep Monica De La Cruz calls in to discuss her congressional race in South Texas, where redistricting has made 80% of her district new territory despite her incumbency. The district was designed to lean Republican, but economic concerns such as affordability and immigration remain top issues, and many Hispanic voters are relatively new to the Republican Party.

The social and political conditions in parts of Europe could spread if left unchecked. This election is about protecting liberty, honoring the sacrifices of previous generations, maintaining the American melting pot, and ensuring that cultural and religious traditions coexist without being imposed on society through intimidation, violence, or coercion. Also, PM Benjamin Netanyahu is a crucial ally in the fight against Islamists, Marxists, and left-wing leadership in Europe and the United States. The United States and Israel cannot afford to lose this battle; we need to stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel and support militaries willing to fight persistent enemies, despite criticism from the left and isolationists. Later, Rep Scott Perry calls in to discuss his highly competitive swing district where Democrats and major donors have spent heavily to defeat him. Perry explains that he is defending the Constitution, fights government spending and national debt, and protects freedoms and privacy. Afterward, France’s recent student protests have expanded beyond school-related grievances into a broader movement supported by a network of 54 organizations, including communist and socialist groups, labor unions, political movements, environmental activists, student organizations, and Palestine-solidarity groups. Many of these organizations have helped organize, support, or amplify the demonstrations, linking concerns over education, public services, austerity, policing, military spending, and broader political issues.  Finally, Washington State Senate Minority Leader John Braun calls in with an update on candidacy for Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. Braun described the challenges Republicans have faced in Washington state since losing their Senate majority nine years ago. Braun’s opponent, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, is no moderate; she has voted against lower taxes, national security funding, border security measures, parental rights, and restrictions on biological males participating in women’s sports.

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, Rich Valdes fills in for Mark. The upcoming midterm elections are among the most consequential in the nation’s history. It’s a choice between preserving the America people know today or moving toward a radically different future. Americans are increasingly focused on the future their children and grandchildren will inherit, law and order, constitutional principles, and the need for strong leadership to protect freedom, security, and traditional American values. We must reject the propaganda, stay engaged in the political process, and remain focused on shaping the country’s future. Also, while many conservatives hope serious consequences could follow Rep Ilhan Omar, many remain skeptical that any investigation will ultimately lead to criminal penalties. Omar’s unpopularity stems less from the marriage allegations and more from her anti-American statements throughout her political career. If Omar committed crimes, she should be held accountable, but who knows whether the political and legal system will actually produce that outcome. Later, AOC says Republicans don't want women to go to college. She is misrepresenting the issue: the government caps student loans for non-professional occupations such as nurses, teachers and social workers. AOC is trying to weaponize higher education as the GOP's war on women when it's actually a war on the Deep State. The bigger issue is that people are being lied to: AOC labels Republicans as anti-women but her supporters just accept it at face value. We need to stop with knee-jerk reactions. Meanwhile, Democratic Socialists of America candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier tells Politico that Democrats can learn from the DSA’s bold vision, a vision of abolishing ICE, jails, police, and the Senate and promising free health care for everyone. Canadians with heart trouble slip into Detroit for emergency care, and in Cuba a surgeon asks a patient’s family to bring gloves and gauze from the States, proof that government-run medicine is not the America anyone should want.
