Facebook Stories Hit the Limit on People That Speak English
Facebook's growth story shows how forecasts can be wrong. The company is now one of the most popular social networks in the world. It was once predicted that facebook would only have 400 million users by 20 15. But it has grown to more than 1 billion people on a very large platform. So if there's anything we can learn from this, i think everyone should try and scrap every forecast they've ever been given.

I know this from my talking with him, not about this deal. There was no such deal when we spoke. He really does get upset watching what's going on in Ukraine, watching what's going on in the Middle East. And some of these visions stick with him, like the young lady that we all saw in the video. Looked like an IDF female soldier at the breakout of the October 7th slaughter. It was grabbed by the back of her hair. She had blood on her pants, which means she had been raped. And they forcibly forced her into the back of the car. And he always wondered what happened to her. She was murdered. That's what happened to her. And it's bothered him. And it bothers us. He knows Hamas is monstrous. He knows Iran is monstrous. I mean, what the hell, they've been trying to assassinate him. And so we have to trust him and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu here. Likely could not trust Biden and Blinken. Absolutely not. And while this is an ugly deal, you're dealing with Hamas, so every deal is going to be ugly. Certainly not a perfect deal. In some ways, Trump inherited this from Biden. There's aspects of this I do not like. But that's just me. I'm just a talk show host. But, on the other hand, it will not be me who tries to sink it either. It'll proceed. We'll see what happens. Benjamin Netanyahu is an enormously brave man. This could destroy his government. It is he, not Biden. It is he, nobody else, who's won the war against Hamas and Hezbollah, who's all but destroyed Iran but was ready to take the extra step, and I hope Trump supports him in that regard, that's for sure, who's taken on the Hooties like nobody else. Netanyahu and the IDF deserve all the credit in the world for what's been taking place up to now. All of it. I'll be right back. Mark

Did you see what the Federal Reserve did literally days after President Trump's victory? It's lowered interest rates by a quarter. Do you know why it did that? It's worried about the economy. It's worried about the fact that jobs aren't being created. We're seeing all kinds of shifts in our portfolios, and it's important to stay aware. That's why I'm urging everyone to diversify and consider gold as one of your financial shields. Now, gold has weathered every kind of economic downturn throughout history. I want you to call Advantage Gold. They're the best of the best, folks. I've dealt with all of them. They're the best. company. 1-800 Get a free gold investment kit to see how you can get started with gold. I recommend Advantage Gold to anyone who's serious about protecting their wealth, and that's you. Call-900 for your free gold investment kit. And you can even qualify for up to $1,000 in free silver. That's 800-900 Call them now. Tell them Mark Levin sent you. You'll be very happy with them. Performance may vary. You should always consult your financial and tax professional. Just to repeat, it's not Peachtree. And Mike Waltz was just on Fox where Brett Barron said, we've made it very clear to the Israelis, if they need to go back in, we're with them, if Hamas doesn't live up to the terms of this agreement. Hamas is not going to continue as a military entity. He said. And it's certainly not going to govern Gaza, he said. These are important points. Mike Waltz is a good guy. And he's an honest guy. Repeat, Hamas is not going to continue as a military entity, and it's certainly not going to govern Gaza. So these are all very important points that are not... that are not points that the Biden regime would ever make. So that's important to understand as well. So I've made clear my opinion, if it matters to anybody. Everybody keeps asking me, so now you know. Most people who are speaking about this now have not done the basics of informing themselves before they open their mouths. And so they're commenting on things they don't know. They're ambiguous. They're making generalities. They're saying, I'm on this team, not on that team. That doesn't get you far enough, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 877-381 877-381 Governor Ron DeSantis will be on the program in about 20 minutes to discuss, among other things, his effort to support President Trump in the deportation of illegal aliens, especially starting with the criminals. His plan to do it, he's got an entire strategy laid out. Apparently he shared it with the president. I read they were golfing over the weekend. Those two like the golf. You know, I used to golf here and there and so forth. And then, of course, I did this to my leg. And before that, I had a disc that blew up in my back, so I can't even swing the damn thing anymore. Man, could I hit a far ball? I really could. Problem was the other part of the game. I have no patience for it. These guys, they'll stay out there six hours, five hours, and golf, golf, golf, golf. I can't do it. It's just me. It's not for me. Now and then, I used to play what? Twice a year? I remember when I was playing once this two decades back, we had a neighbor named Mark Rippon. You might remember him. A tremendous guy, former quarterback for what we then called the Redskins, and most people still call the Redskins. And he and the kids and all lived, I think, four or five houses down. That was it. He goes, hey, Mark. Yes, sir. Let's go play golf. This guy can play golf. And I did the best round of golf in my life, Mr. Producer. I hit in the mid-80s, I think. Now, normally I'm hitting like 100, 100, 10, 100, 12. I mean, I'm playing twice a year. That's it. That's it. But I hit a good drive. I can putt, but it's everything in between that's kind of messy. And my view of that was just try and stay on the damn course. And I will also tell you, I've seen Donald Trump hit a drive, and man, he hits it straight as an arrow and very, very far. You know, you hear these stories, well, he gets to that. No, no, no. I saw it. He can hit a golf. I mean, he can really hit a golf ball. Guy's 78 years old. He hits it far. He hits it straight. He's very, very good at it. And DeSantis, apparently, is a great athlete, too. You know, he could have gone into professional baseball at some point if he wanted to. So they're playing golf. I'm going to ask him about that. But anyway, he wants to get ahead of the ball. Florida's a big state. He wants to deal with illegal immigration. He wants his legislature to come along. He's got two egomaniacs. One runs the House, one runs the State Senate. My words, not his. My words, not his. And he's got a whole plan in place, and so he's going to discuss it with us to some extent on the program in about 15 minutes now. Pam Bondi, my wife Julie and I are very fond of Pam Bondi. she's going to make an outstanding attorney general, and just like Pete Hegseth, she went toe-to with Adam Schiff and these other reprobates on that committee. She was absolutely outstanding. She goes up against this Sheldon Whitehouse, who's a complete putz. Blumenthal, It's a great pleasure. I mean, he was on the other committee last night, and there he is again today. He was really exceptional. She was, I should say. Let's take a little listen here with Adam Schiff. Let's see, Mr. Producer, let me find it here.
