Mark Levin: Newsome, Lawfare and Foreign Policy

Peloni

Mark opens Saturdays show with reviewing his previous comments regarding the attempt to leverage over half a billion dollars in penalties and fines against Pres. Trump in a case previously won by NY AG Latecia James.  These comments eerily foreshadowed the opinion passed down this week by a liberal appellate court in NY where this case was dismissed.  Noting how egregious that case was, he also reviews the similarly egregious nature of many of the other cases still to be ruled upon against Trump.  He further shares that there are 334 cases being brought against Trump and his administration, just based on the policies of his second term, yet, of those which have been ruled upon, most have been stayed, overturned or vacated.  Mark also discusses a recent report in Politico warning of California Gov. Newsom’s recent efforts to chastise the MAGA movement using memes posted on his X account, while also promoting himself as the potential savior of the Democratic party.  Reminding us of the important political gains, nationally, which have been made by the Republicans during the era of MAGA, he also highlights the gross failures which have simultaneously come to California with Newsom as governor.  As noted previously, Mark reminds us that Newsome oversees a sanctuary state, and that he is in fact an advocate of nullification of the US Constitution, which comes to support not only illegal immigration, but illegal drug trafficking as well.

In his second segment, Mark contrasts between Florida with California with Gov. Desantis of Florida.  Desantis recalls that in Florida the pace of recovery after natural disasters was nearly spontaneous, clearly calling a contrast with the nearly absent movement to rebuild Los Angeles following the fires which consumed much of that city over six months ago.  Desantis also discusses the deportation processing facilities which help facilitate deportations while the routine delays remain in place.

In his third segment, Mark talks with Steve Hilton, former British political strategist, who is running for governor of California.  Hilton raises the egregious acts of gerrymandering of districts taking place in California, from which he relates that 12 Republican seats have already been stolen, to which Newsome’s recent moves would add an additional 5 stolen Republican seats.  Hilton continues by contrasting the great failures which frame Newsome’s governorship, to which Mark suggests that Newsome is not all that different from Mamdani’s Marxist positions on many topics.

On his Sunday show, Mark opens with commenting on the recent FBI raid on Trump’s previous National Security Advisor, John Bolton.  The foundation of the raid goes back to the specifics surrounding Bolton’s 2020 book deal, in which he was found to have violated the non-disclosure agreement with the govt while fast tracking the release of his book to improve sales and publicity around the book release.  Based on the ruling regarding Bolton’s having revealed classified information, the Trump administration began criminal proceedings against Bolton back in 2020, but these were later dismissed by the Biden administration without explanation.  Mark further notes that the current investigation against Bolton is being reported to be include revelations of leaks which extend beyond Bolton’s book, something which took place during Biden’s presidency.  Based on all of this, Mark challenges that the current investigation is not retaliatory in nature, but is based on sound legal grounds, presuming the findings are material in nature.  He explains that the proper context of the current investigation against Bolton is that Bolton, having been found to have revealed sensitive classified documentation without proper authorization, was itself never been properly addressed, but is being so addressed currently.

In the second segment, Mark talks with Sen. Ted Cruz about Gov. Newsome’s gerrymandering of California districts, in which he provides a much more detailed description than was discussed on Saturday’s show.  Cruz notes that the real momentum behind Newsome comes from his auditioning for the support of the far Left, Israel hating Democratic party.  To this point, Mark raises the important silence which comes from some significant members within the Republican party in regards to the open embrace of Jew Hatred coming from the radical Democrats.  Contrasting Trump’s clear stand against such Jew Hatred, Cruz calls out the emergence of Jew Hatred among the American Right, where some popular Right wing voices consistently endorse and promote the same Jew Hatred promulgated by the Democrats.   He shares his concerns regarding the convergence of this support of Jew Hatred on the Right and Left political movements as being a important threat.  He also notes that such sentiments which coalesce around moral ambiguity of October 7 and the war which followed is not an America First position, and that support for the war against Hamas and Iran have made America safer.  Cruz reminds us that Trump has been quite clear and quite consistent in describing the important threat which emanates from the Mullahs in Iran, even as many voices on the Right have begun fawning over the theocratic lunatics who subject the people of Iran and who want to do the same to Americans.

In his third segment, Mark talks with Gen. Jack Keane on the subject of Ukraine.  While raising the subject of the attacks which Russia has recently had against Russia, they both ignore the attacks which have been directed against the Russians by Ukraine.  They also ignore the repeated attacks on a pipeline which provides Hungary with energy, and the context of the fact that Hungary is a NATO member. Furthermore, the assertion made by Keane that Putin should not pursue the policy of talk nice at peace conferences and play hard on the battlefield is silly.  Til a peace deal is signed, the war will continue to the best ability of each side, as indicated by the adage of war being the exercise of negotiating by other means.  The problem, of course, is that Ukraine’s efforts on the battlefield continue to demonstrate that their lack of men, morale and munitions has real world effects to Russia’s benefit, which only raises greater questions regarding Zelensky’s stagnancy in the negotiations.  Additionally, while Keane suggests that the Russians are responsible for dragging out negotiations, he ignores the effect of Zelensky’s continued refusal to agree to any concessions at all.  The consequence of this position of tomfoolery is that the negotiations pointless, which was no doubt the purpose in Zelensky making such a statement.  As I have noted previously, Zelensky’s situation in Ukraine is not secure enough to stand against the radical elements in his own army, including, but not limited to, the Azov forces.  Pivoting to the issue of the Chinese, Mark raises the subject of the significance of the threat from China in the Indo-Pacific region and to America’s position as the world’s global leader.  Keane suggests that America’s allies in this region are coalescing around America due to recent steps taken by Xi in this regard.  While admitting that America is behind on missile technology and ship building, he suggests that America will be able to achieve strategic deterrence in the area of missile development while ceding China’s dominance in the area of ship construction.
