Mark Levin shares the hilarious secret about how he prepares for his shows



It’s not uncommon for the great one to get inquiries from his fans asking about how he prepares for his shows.

While Levin doesn’t reveal all the ingredients for his show-planning sauce, he does share one: “Sometimes if I go to our fabulous supermarket called Wegmans, they have all the newspapers there. So I might pick up two donuts and five newspapers.”

On a recent episode of “LevinTV,” he invited his audience to pull up a chair and witness the master at work.

He starts with the Washington Post, which he affectionately dubs “the Washington Compost.”

Holding up the hefty stack of pages, he quips, “All the trees that died for this.”

He flips through, headline by headline, tossing out zingers like “some lib wrote this,” “these guys are morons,” and “who cares?” — each delivered with the precision of a seasoned roast-master.

He doesn’t shy away from the paper’s darker history either, reminding viewers, “This is one of the newspapers that covered up the Holocaust.”

Then, he hits a front-page story titled “‘We’ll do what’s right’: Judge Resolute Amid U.S. pressure,” a glowing piece about Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes, portrayed as a stalwart defender of “democracy” despite U.S. sanctions, tariffs, and criticism from figures like Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.

“Now keep in mind the Washington Compost is thrilled when it's running stories attacking Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas, of course, Brett Kavanaugh ... but this judge [Moraes] is ‘steadfast’ in Brazil. He's not going to buckle,” Levin mocks. “That judge in Brazil is a left-wing kook hack like many of the writers for this newspaper.”

Levin eventually makes his way to the Post’s style section to an article titled “The Future of Book Reviews Looks Grim.”

“This book ‘On Power’ is a number one New York Times bestseller. I've had nine [best sellers] in a row. ... Do you know how many book reviews the New York Times has done for this book or any of the nine? Zero,” he says. “Now, I'm supposed to read an article that the future of book reviews looks grim? Well, when it comes to my books, they're nonexistent.”

Why do bureaucrats and judges rule when ‘we the people' hold power? Levin’s ‘On Power’ reveals all



“Individual and human rights, liberty, and equality predate governments because they do not originate from governments.”

This is a line out of Mark Levin’s new book, “On Power” — a deep dive into the nature of power, its historical roots, and its impact on liberty and governance in America.

It’s also a reiteration of the most critical part of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

“Those two sentences are so important,” says Levin.

He explains that this idea that “God is sovereign and God's children on earth are His sovereign children” is what distinguishes America – a “fusion of the Judeo-Christian value system” and “the Enlightenment” — from “Marxism and all the isms.” We the people get to decide how we’re governed.

If this is who America is, then why do we have bureaucrats and unelected judges calling so many of the shots?

“The bureaucracy has nothing to do with the consent of the governed,” Levin condemns, castigating the unelected judges and bureaucrats who continue to “devour the powers of the executive.”

This clash between America’s founding principles of individual liberty and the opposing ideology of centralized control by unaccountable powers is unsustainable, he argues.

“The basis for America’s founding and the ideology of the American Marxists are utterly incompatible,” he says, pointing to the “power struggle that exists today and has for 100 years or more” between worldviews about individual liberty and centralized control.

Levin’s “On Power” calls for reclaiming the consent of the governed, urging Americans to resist encroachments on their God-given rights by unaccountable powers, echoing the revolutionary spirit of the Declaration.

Bernie Sanders shuns Mark Levin debate: Scared of being grilled over his Castro crush?



Mark Levin has repeatedly invited Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on “LevinTV” to debate him over Sanders’ long list of socialist policies, like government-run health care, punitive wealth taxes, and union-heavy labor schemes. Many public invitations have been extended, but every time — crickets.

Is he just too busy rallying Trump haters on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour? Or is he scared Mark will wipe the floor with him?

Perhaps he’s hesitant because he knows he’ll be skewered over his fascination with communist dictators — like his lauding of the tyrannical Cuban despot Fidel Castro back in 2020 during a "60 Minutes" interview and subsequent CNN town hall.

Following his controversial statement in the interview that it’s “unfair to simply say everything [about Castro’s Cuba] is bad,” Sanders doubled down in the town hall.

“When Fidel Castro first came to power ... you know what he did? He initiated a major literacy program,” Sanders retorted.

“There was a lot of folks in Cuba at that point who were illiterate, and he formed a literacy brigade. ... They went out, and they helped people learn to read and write. You know what I think? Teaching people to read and write is a good thing,” he added.

“Wow, a literacy program,” mocks Levin. “But you weren't allowed to read what you wanted to read. You weren't allowed to say what you wanted to say. There was no right to speech, free speech, or any other kind of speech unless it was dictated by the government.”

Castro, he reminds, was “a genocidal maniac who was killing people and throwing them in prison,” and his “literacy brigades” were “filled with people who had allegiance to [him] and the communists.”

“They were not just going into homes to teach literacy. They were going in their homes to spy,” says Levin.

Sanders caveated his praise of Castro’s literacy initiative by arguing he’s been “critical of all authoritarian regimes all over the world,” including Cuba’s, but Levin calls him a “a liar.”

“He used to defend all the communist leaders. Now, he's got a little more clever in his extremely old age,” he corrects.

“He supported the communist leader in Nicaragua. ... He supported the communist leader in Cuba. He supported the communist leader in the old Soviet Union when he honeymooned in Moscow,” Levin adds.

Sanders capped his defense of Castro by arguing, “I happen to believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.”

“No, he doesn't believe in democracy,” says Levin, citing George Orwell’s 1946 essay “Politics and the English Language,” in which he argued that political language is often manipulated by authoritarians to mask their wicked ends.

Sanders is “a Stalinist,” he says.

“This is why Bernie Sanders won't come on any of my shows. He will not come on any of my shows because he knows I'm going to question him.”

Mark Levin slams viral Gaza photo as anti-Israel propaganda



There’s a ghastly photograph of an 18-month-old Palestinian boy named Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq that’s gone viral. In the image, he appears severely malnourished, his spine protruding from his back while he lies in his mother’s arms in Gaza.

It’s a gut punch of a photo that makes even the staunchest Israel supporter wince.

That’s why major media outlets — including the New York Times, the Daily Express, the Guardian, CNN, and the Daily Mail, among others — have circulated the image. It’s top-tier pathos to push the narrative that Gaza’s humanitarian crisis is the fault of genocidal Israel.

Except the photo is a lie.

“That child was dying, but he was dying from a disease that he had at birth,” says Mark Levin, condemning the framing of the photograph as “horrendous propaganda.”

While Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq’s condition is a tragedy — no child deserves such a fate — it adds insult to injury to use his predicament to further the lie that Israel is responsible for Gaza’s starvation.

“That photo made it around the world. Western media covered it. American media covered it. Prime ministers used it. Presidents used it. Everybody was using it to condemn Netanyahu and the Israelis as committing genocide and war crimes,” says Levin.

While it’s true that Gaza is indeed suffering from starvation, it’s Hamas who has blood on its hands, not Israel.

Levin plays a recent clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) sharing the truth about Gaza’s crisis on NBC News' “Meet the Press.”

“Israel, since this war began, has supplied over 94,000 truckloads full of food. It's enough food to feed 2 million people for two years. [They’ve been] trying to get that into Gaza, but Hamas has stolen the food. … In 2024, the numbers are that Hamas profited over $500 million in stolen food aid that was supposed to go to these poor people who needed it,” he told Kristen Welker.

“The U.N. needs to work with Israel to make sure that the food is getting to the people that need it most. … That's Israel's intention. That's the U.S.' intention and the U.N. as well,” he added.

While Levin praises Johnson for speaking the truth about Hamas being the cause of Gaza’s starvation, he corrects the narrative that the U.N. seeks to help starving Gazans.

“The U.N.'s working with Hamas, just like UNRWA worked with Hamas. The U.N. wants all the food to go through the U.N. so the U.N. can then work with Hamas,” he says.

What you’re not being told about Israel, Gaza, and the UN



Why does the mainstream media perpetuate the narrative of starving Gazans, when right now, there are hundreds of pallets of food and medicine sitting undistributed?

Mark Levin plays recent video footage capturing thousands of pounds of aid sitting untouched on pallets and in semis along Gaza’s borders.

“Of course, the U.N. is doing what the U.N. does. The U.N. works with Hamas. Hamas sells the food. Hamas uses it to extort, to threaten Palestinians there. They're shooting Palestinians alive who are starving who want food,” he says.

Israel is responsible for much of the aid being sent to Gaza, but the mainstream media buries this fact and instead spreads the narrative that Israel is guilty of war crimes.

Levin plays a soundbite from U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee’s interview with Bari Weiss on “The Free Press,” during which they addressed this issue.

Weiss pointed out that “in the New York Times, articles pairing Israel and genocide reached levels more than nine times higher than the peak for Rwanda, in which 800,000 people were murdered in 100 days.”

“What is going on here?” she asked Huckabee.

“To say that Israel has been involved in something like that is recklessly irresponsible, and it is factually off-the-charts untrue,” he answered.

“You really are hearkening back to the very foundation of what led to the Holocaust.”

Of course, another holocaust is exactly what Hamas and other Islamist groups aim for, but they’re sneaky about how they go about it. They project their own genocidal intentions on Israel.

Levin plays a clip from MEMRI capturing former ISIS official and current Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa declaring that “outlaw groups” — Druze and Christians — are slaughtering the innocent Bedouins.

The truth is the Bedouins are “terrorists that the army is supporting,” who are “slaughtering the Jews and Christians,” says Levin.

“The Israelis had to intervene to defend these people and to protect them. That's exactly what took place. The Bedouins are being urged and others to slaughter them,” he clarifies. “So this guy [Ahmed al-Sharaa] is so devious, so evil, and yet we put our money with him, hoping that he can turn Syria into some kind of a diverse democracy.”

Obama's 'silent coup' isn't immune, Mark Levin calls for full DOJ probe



In the wake of National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification of a trove of Russiagate documents, leading her to refer former President Barack Obama and other Obama administration officials to the Department of Justice for potential criminal investigation, certain legal “experts” are claiming Barack Obama has immunity.

They point to Trump v. United States (July 2024), in which the Supreme Court held that former presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within their "core constitutional powers" and presumptive immunity for other official acts within the "outer perimeter" of their responsibilities. However, they have no immunity for unofficial or private acts.

Mark Levin recalls the time when President Obama ordered the killing of Al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, who was an American citizen.

“He can't be charged for killing that person, nor should he have been,” says Levin, “but ladies and gentlemen, if the president of the United States ... is embezzling funds or he's running some kind of a drug racket while he's president of the United States, those are not his official duties, and so after he leaves the presidency, he can be charged with that.”

Orchestrating Russigate – a “treasonous conspiracy” as Director Gabbard called it – would most certainly fall into the latter category if Obama was found guilty.

If “Barack Obama, is involved in a scheme, the purpose of which is to interfere with a presidential election because he wants Hillary Clinton and the Democrats to win, and subsequent to that, if [he] is involved in a scheme to usurp the new president's role or to sabotage the new president's role, that's not an official duty,” says Levin, “and certainly [he] can be charged with that.”

“There are criminal statutes for making false claims ... and hoaxes. And it actually uses the word hoaxes,” he explains. “Donald Trump has called [Russiagate] a hoax from day one, and he's exactly correct.”

In a recent press conference, President Trump, when asked about the Russiagate developments, was crystal clear: “This is, like, proof – irrefutable proof – that Obama was seditious, that Obama was trying to lead a coup, and it was with Hillary Clinton, with all these other people, but Obama headed it up ... and it says so right in the papers.”

If the DOJ conducts its criminal investigation and concurs that the papers indeed incriminate Obama, the Constitution, specifically the separation of powers doctrine and Article II, as well as SCOTUS’ ruling on Trump v. United States, should not protect him from prosecution.

Further, considering all the lawfare waged on President Trump, “Why shouldn't Barack Obama be criminally investigated, put under oath ... in order to determine the extent to which he was involved in a silent coup?” Levin asks.

“So Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (who I like very much), are you prepared to subpoena Barack Obama?”

Mark Levin’s NEW book 'On Power' drops TODAY



It’s impossible to talk about liberty without also addressing power. Concepts like unalienable rights are “nonexistent” if one doesn’t understand power structures, says Mark Levin. People can throw the words “liberty” and “rights” around all day, but oftentimes, especially on the left, they are ignorant to the “earthly application” of these terms.

Leftists fret over losing our democracy, but they spit on our Constitution when it’s the Constitution that establishes the “eternal truths” behind liberty and rights – the bedrock of democracy.

“Your Constitution is all about not liberty, not about rights, but power for the application of liberty and rights. Your entire constitution is about power – separation of power,” says Levin.

Compare that to Marxism, which is about the “centralization of power” via stripping citizens of their rights. It’s built upon “the phony argument about the state withering away,” but “the state never withers away,” he explains.

In his latest book, “On Power,” which is available for purchase starting today, Levin unpacks “why Marxism is not only defective, but completely flawed and inhumane from the very beginning.”

Marxism, Levin explains, “talks about the final stage being the withering away of the state ... where the proletariat, the people, have risen up; they've thrown off hundreds, if not thousands, of years of labor enslavement” and “reached a point where we have this equality.”

Equality, to the Marxist, is “the end stage of humanity,” where the stateless society shares resources communally, and exploitation and imbalance have been forever eliminated.

The problem is true equality “is an impossibility,” and “there is no end stage in humanity,” at least as it relates to “man-made ideology,” says Levin. “Man continues to evolve or devolve, but man doesn't stand still.”

The Marxist idea that if we just “eliminate the excesses, eliminate the barriers” (people included), we’d create this utopia, is a myth, he explains.

Our Constitution, on the other hand, understands the impossibility of a “perfect end stage” of humanity. Instead, it provides a timeless framework for protecting liberty and rights through balanced power – a principle Levin passionately defends against Marxist fallacies in “On Power.”

Levin’s explosive new book delivers a searing takedown of Marxism’s threat to freedom, brilliantly defending individual liberty and unalienable rights – get your copy today to join the fight for a free society!

The REAL reason New York City is so expensive



New York City is the most expensive city in the United States because the high demand for limited space drives up costs for housing, goods, and services, right?

Well, not exactly. While it’s true that high demand and limited space impact any city’s cost of living, the adoption of Marxist policies are heavily to blame for the unaffordability crisis in NYC.

“Why is New York City so expensive? It has the highest taxes in the country. ... It has more regulations than anybody can keep track of,” Mark Levin says.

The city’s effort to make living more affordable via rent controls has only made matters worse because developers opt to “build more luxury [residences] ... to bypass the rent control and to sell to wealthy people,” making “housing for people who have average incomes less and less affordable and in some areas unaffordable,” he explains.

As for the exorbitant cost of food in NYC, taxes — “taxes on the people who sell the food, taxes on restaurants, taxes on delicatessens and pizzerias” — are to blame, Levin says. Other government-imposed factors, specifically regulations and labor requirements such as high minimum wages, prevent would-be business owners from entering the market.

Levin finds it ironic that the very government policies — like rent controls and high minimum wages — that are imposed to make the city more affordable are actually what make NYC so expensive.

Unfortunately, New Yorkers can’t seem to connect the dots, which is why they continue electing people like Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral candidate who’s an open socialist. He’s proposing stricter rent controls and an even higher minimum wage, as well as city-owned grocery stores and free public transportation, among other Marxist policies. He’s even expressed his desire to “seize the means of production” — an idea that “comes straight out of the ‘Communist Manifesto.’”

Many of these voters buy into the false narrative that it’s capitalism and billionaires making life unaffordable, when in fact it's capitalism that gives us freedom to ascend in the ranks and puts the power of destiny in our hands.

“Capitalism is a godsend,” Levin says, but “for the Marxists, it must be destroyed.”

Mamdani and others like him sell a vision of a “workers’ paradise” where affordability is no longer an issue, but the reality of that vision is a society where “individualism and freedom” are treated like “poison.” It’s a world where “the family, the church, [and] the synagogue” are seen as “competing social structures” that need to be “annihilated.” The people who previously “created the wealth” are disincentivized to do the very things that led to wealth, so they move away.

This is the fate of New York City if Mamdani comes into power, Levin warns.

Mark Levin ROASTS Democrat darlings caught in mortgage fraud scandals



Mark Levin can’t help but notice the correlation between Democrats and mortgage fraud. But he isn’t surprised. “So many of them are crooks,” he scoffs.

The most severe case is perhaps New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is currently being investigated for a host of mortgage-related crimes.

Not only did James allegedly list her father as her husband on mortgage documents for a Queens property to secure more favorable loan terms, but she’s also been accused of falsely claiming a Virginia property as her primary residence in 2023 to secure a mortgage, defying New York’s residency rules that require her, as the attorney general, to live in the state.

On top of that, there are allegations that James misrepresented her Brooklyn brownstone as a four-unit property on mortgage applications, despite official records indicating it has five units, to get a better loan.

When she was caught by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, James blamed racism.

“She’s now stereotyping black people as mortgage crooks,” Levin says. “No, black people are not mortgage crooks. You are, Letitia.”

“And so is Adam Schiff,” he adds.

It appears that while the Democratic California senator was trying to undermine Donald Trump with lies and malevolent plots, he was simultaneously sweeping his own crimes under the rug. Earlier this year, FHFA referred Schiff to the Department of Justice when it found that he likely committed mortgage fraud when he reportedly claimed both his Maryland and California homes as primary residences on loan documents from 2003 to 2020 to secure lower mortgage rates.

“Can you imagine being this thug? Concocting a whole Russian collusion thing against the president, spending two years trying to take out the president of the United States ... when you knew in your past the allegation is that you committed mortgage fraud?” Levin comments.

To be expected, Schiff has called the accusations baseless and written off the criminal referral as nothing more than political retaliation.

But President Trump is serious about Schiff facing justice.

“Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice,” he wrote on Truth Social, calling Schiff “a low life.”

“I agree with all that,” Levin says.

Vindication in Tehran: Iranian official’s recent execution demands confirm Trump's strike on nuclear sites was right call



While Operation Midnight Hammer coupled with Israel’s own military strikes successfully crippled Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons, the threat of the Iranian regime remains. Its vitriol toward the West can never be eliminated.

“Their mindsets don’t change. They’re in a forever war against us,” says Mark Levin.

On July 4, this was proven when Iranian cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami delivered a prayer sermon in Tehran, during which he explicitly called for the execution of President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under Sharia law, framing it as a religious obligation.

Levin plays a video of Khatami’s sermon, which was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, commonly called MEMRI.

“The ruling regarding Trump and Netanyahu, according to the Sharia, is that the pair of them should be executed,” Khatami said to a crowd that roared back, “Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Khamenei is the leader! Death to those who oppose the rule of the jurisprudent! Death to America! Death to England! Death to the hypocrites and the infidels! Death to Israel!”

“They deserve the death penalty according to three articles of the Sharia. First, they have murdered: 55,000 people have been killed in Gaza, and you killed our martyr Qasem Soleimani. You are murderers, and you need to be punished. Second, you are oppressors, and third, you are sowing corruption upon the land, and you are fighting God and His messenger,” Khatami added.

“So death to England, death to America, death to Israel, death to anybody who doesn't agree with them,” sighs Levin.

“We've never heard that before, have we?” he asks sarcastically.

As for the claim that 55,000 have been killed in Gaza, Levin calls it a baldfaced lie.

“Of course, 55,000 have not been killed in Gaza, and those who have been killed, you have a significant percentage of them who are terrorists, and then most of the rest have been killed because of what Hamas has done,” he corrects. “And of course, if [Hamas] hadn't started a war in the first place, nobody would be dead.”

Even though Iran is poised to negotiate with the United States about restricting its nuclear program, Levin warns that we need to be prepared for what is essentially inevitable: They will try to rebuild because while their nuclear power can be quelled, their hatred for the West cannot.

“We can't be static about this,” he says. “We can't stand still if they're going to try and do the same thing.”

President Trump’s partnering with Netanyahu in this conflict isn’t just about protecting Israel; it’s also about protecting the United States.

Trump took “direct military action in order to protect [Americans], too,” says Levin. “We should be having a ticker-tape parade over this.”
