Deep dives
Mark Levin's Investment in Gold
Levin emphasizes the importance of reevaluating financial investments after presidential elections, particularly advocating for investing in gold as a protective measure against economic uncertainty. He trusts Advantage Gold, a leading gold company in America, for his purchases and suggests that individuals should consult financial professionals. Levin offers a contact number for Advantage Gold to encourage listeners to obtain a free gold investment kit and potentially qualify for free silver. This repeated insistence on gold underlines a growing concern about financial stability and the potential effects of political decisions on personal wealth.
Critique of Media Coverage of Trump
Levin criticizes the media's portrayal of Donald Trump, particularly focusing on Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. He refers to their constant negative commentary and historical comparisons to Hitler and fascism, stressing how this rhetoric has persisted since Trump's presidency began. Levin argues that such harsh criticisms contribute to the media's echo chamber and erode credibility, ultimately resulting in declining ratings for networks like MSNBC. Furthermore, he points out that the overall media landscape has become increasingly partisan, diminishing their ability to connect with a broader audience.
MSNBC's Rating Decline and Corporate Challenges
Levin discusses a report suggesting that MSNBC is facing significant challenges, including declining ratings and potential corporate repercussions if changes are not made. He claims that the founder company's leadership has been warned about the network's slipping performance, echoing concerns he has raised for some time about their partisan bias. Pundits and commentators on MSNBC have become more extreme in their perspectives, leading to a disconnect with viewers and a tarnished brand image. Levin posits that without addressing these issues, MSNBC could struggle to remain viable in the competitive media landscape.
Democratic Media Struggles
Levin elaborates on the struggles not just of MSNBC but also of CNN, which has plans for mass layoffs and restructuring amid declining viewer engagement. He attributes these issues to a broader trend of left-wing media outlets losing touch with their audiences due to extreme bias and a lack of credible news reporting. Notably, the Washington Post has seen significant drops in traffic, marking a decreasing interest in its content among readers. This context positions conservative talk shows as resilient against declines, making Levin optimistic about the future of such platforms.
Impact of Illegal Immigration Policies
Discussing Trump's planned immigration policies, Levin highlights the use of military resources to enforce deportations of illegal immigrants, drawing historical parallels to Eisenhower's past operations. He argues that if Trump does not enact these policies, the U.S. could face a surging population of illegal immigrants. Levin expresses concern over uncontrolled immigration, particularly in light of its negative impact on American citizens and communities. His assertions stress the need for decisive action on immigration to uphold national integrity and security.
Rethinking Voting Rights and State Integrity
Levin articulates concerns over voting integrity in Pennsylvania, criticizing the practice of counting ballots that do not meet legal standards. He discusses ongoing conflicts between state election laws and the actions of local Democratic officials who are perceived to unduly influence election outcomes. Levin’s comments reflect a broader anxiety about secure voting practices amid increasing legal challenges. He advocates for stronger regulatory measures to protect the electoral process from partisan manipulation, emphasizing that fairness and legality should govern all voting procedures.
On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Comcast is finally looking to get rid of MSNBC. Mark has warned in the past that they would pay a public price if they don’t cut ties with MSNBC. The news divisions are separate on Fox News but not separate on MSNBC and CNN - you can’t tell one from the other. The Washington Post is almost dying, if they didn’t have Jeff Bezos, it would be dead. It’s not because of technology, it’s because people are sick of these media companies. Later, President-Elect Trump confirms plans to use the military to deport illegal aliens after declaring a national emergency. This is what Dwight Eisenhower did. If Trump doesn’t have mass deportations, we can multiply the number of illegal aliens in the future because of chain migration. These mass deportations must be done, or the country won’t survive. Also, Democrats are still trying to steal the Senate race in Pennsylvania and Gov Josh Shapiro does nothing about stopping it. This is a miscarriage of the electoral process and justice. Salena Zito calls in to give us the latest in this election fight. Bob Casey can’t win but what the Democrats are trying to do is set a precedent to try and weaken Pennsylvania voting laws.
