Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 1/3/25

Mark Levin Podcast

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, WMAL’s Larry O’Connor fills in for Mark. Today was the first day of the 119th Congress and Mike Johnson was reelected as Speaker of the House after a dramatic first-round vote. 3 Republicans didn’t vote for Johnson, and it seemed like the vote would go to a second round. But then President Donald Trump got involved and Johnson eventually won it on the first ballot, which most predictions said wouldn’t happen. Also, Rep Hakeem Jeffries lost the Speaker race for the 20th time in just 2 years. Jeffries spoke before he handed the gavel to Johnson, and it sounded like he was about to introduce President Trump at a rally. He complained that costs were too high and that America is too expensive. Jeffries is right – but who was President and Vice President the last four years? Jeffries said he wants to help fix the problems in America, but he has to work with Trump if he wants to get things done. Why would the Democrats want to work with someone they called Hitler and a fascist? Finally, Jake Tapper isn’t a serious newsman, he’s no better than a propagandist. One of his reports on the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal is the center of a $1 Billion defamation lawsuit against CNN and Tapper. That goes to trial next week.
