was he jealous of mark? he looked like mark. he shaved his head. he has the goatee, just like mark. god. that's not mark? [laughs] oh, no. i can't tell them apart. he's mine now. [laughter] did he want to live his life? i don't know. there's something wrong with wayne, is all i can come up with. dennis murphy: but reporters thought the answer had everything to do with mark, not wayne. to them, the fact that his best friend was accused of killing his wife meant mark must be involved. we started following mark sievers even more closely at that point. everyone had questions for him then. do you think your best friend would do this? why would he do this? how could this happen? journalist: what was your relationship like with curtis wayne wright? any comment, mark? no comment. dennis murphy: mark wasn't talking to the media or to investigators. he'd lawyered up not long after the murder. and truth was, by the time of jimmy and wayne's arrest, detectives fully believed mark was in on it, but they had little proof. so they continued investigating until a few months later, a breakthrough. w

mark zuckerberg has been building towards this for years. in 2020, he actually also rolled back and said i will not fact check political content or political speakers after trump's threatened to sue twitter for taking down his content. it is not new and it affected some of the work i was trying to do while i was there. that said, it's highly disappointing, and let's be clear, they want us to focus on whether fact-checking is good or bad or whether it's about free speech or not as opposed to focusing on what they do with that speech on the stick thymic problems of the platform itself. which was not addressed at all in his comments today. >> let's stick with free speech. i want to play again a bit of what we heard in hallie jackson's report because it stuck out to me. >> the recent elections feel like a cultural tipping point toward once again prioritizing speech. we will get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. >> okay, mark zuckerberg said it's all about f

mark: welcome back america. schoen. want to talk about the department of justice, jack smith and their last effort to really abuse the rule of law for political purposes. this is very, very serious. give a case in florida, you have a judge cannon who is a fantastic judge and so course she is ridiculed by that usual low iq oil lawyers. and she has already ruled jack smith appointment is unconstitutional. they have appealed it. and yet in her courtroom there is jack smith excuse me, you don't have any authority in my courtroom for their he is he's trying to file a report they are rushing the authority of the attorney general of the united states. and probably other reprobates of the department of justice. where they are going to give their opinions how guilty donald trump is about the documents case when they are still codefendants. where do you make not just as a legal matter of that kind of a ploy, but what do you make of a mentality of a department of justice that continues to think this way? >> that easy polit

the okay, let's go back to mark mark mark at the end of november, beginning of december of last year, we saw a, an event that no one in that i know of predicted. it was a complete collapse of the state. and sovereignty of syria. is this the or d'oeuvre on the menu for the middle east for 20? 25. is this the some the beginning of something a developing trend? because there is so many moving pieces we have a has the law that is still vulnerable. the i can't remember the last time 11 on had a real government. um, uh, if the is re lease with a american backing and x the west bank. um, uh, we're gonna have a huge refugee problem. going into jordan. jordan knows already packed full of people that are refugees. we have no idea what the series would be, what used to be called syria is going to look like. and then we have a rock is it implies, applies even around. so i've kind of said a lot of pieces on the board move whichever one you want to go ahead mark. yeah. so the middle east was in flame. uh, already uh, you know, before this, the events in syria and the year, you know, what came to a

mark zuckerberg very much trying — mark zuckerberg very much trying to _ mark zuckerberg very much trying _ in elon musk's footsteps or take a page out of it playbook. i take a page out of it playbook. iwouid — take a page out of it playbook. i would caution, in terms of elon— i would caution, in terms of elon musk's relationship with donald — elon musk's relationship with donald trump, it is not necessarily going to be... may not be — necessarily going to be... may not be rosy forever. there has been — not be rosy forever. there has been chatter in trump circles around — been chatter in trump circles around mar—a—lago about whether elon around mar—a—lago about whether eion musk— around mar—a—lago about whether elon musk is in some ways overstaying his welcome. we know — overstaying his welcome. we know donald trump likes to be the centre of attention, likes to be — the centre of attention, likes to be the _ the centre of attention, likes to be the one calling all the shots — to be the one calling all the shots and does not like it when someone — shots and does not like it when someone co

and here in moscow we crossed to marks or boulder. he's an international relations and security analyst, red building cross lock roles, and the fact that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate it, mark, i'm going to go to you 1st and i'm going to kind of give to vent a little bit here. during 2024. a lot of people we know in the pod cast world in the alternative media world in the world. we're really kind of obsessed with predictions. and well, there's a lot of a gotten a lot of faces the go around here. and so i would really like to avoid in this program to work on predictions because i think it's a useless endeavor. okay? because most people end up being wrong and they don't always admit to it unfortunately. so having said that, i would like to look at developing trends. ok, now we've just talked about what happened in 2024. given that conversation. what happened in 2024? what kind of developing trends from the last year do we feel of? do we see going into this new year mark as well? i, i think that you know,

i don't know. >> mark is always going to be mark zuckerberg.al opportunity to work with the new administration both on free expression and american leadership. president trump is really focused on making sure we maintain leadership on tech knowling nothing, ai are super important to our industry and we look forward working with the administration to advance those goals. >> steve: when you talk about content moderation at love people watching right now says it sounds better if they are not taking instructions from the federal government. the joe biden administration saying this is wrong people like the idea they are going to have a say where can you add the community notes going forward. but, ultimately. is this one of the things you are doing as a company to make sure meta and the other social media companies are not regulated by washington. that's the last thing you guys want washington first amendment. right thing for individual users to have the ability to decide themselves what to say. there is bad stuff that people do online like they do i

mark, this is why we love you. thank you. >>> brad todd, i want to briefly ask you about the pardon question and what donald trump may do next on that. same question as the one i had for mark. is there a political price he will pay, and is there a distinction between what people committed here? >> i think people convicted of seditious conspiracy and of plotting and encouraging the actual violence, i think there is a line there. i think if it's people who pled guilty to parading without a permit, trespassing, pardoning those people will not cause him the political problem and probably shouldn't. but i think the deeper you go into the worst of the offenders, the oathkeepers, the proud boys, that's when donald trump will have a political problem if he pardons them. >> alex, what is your sense on going after members of the january 6th committee, how democrats might respond to that, and whether republicans would be willing to go along with it? >> i think you could -- i mean, there's pressure on joe biden to pardon some

mark: hello america i am marking turn to this is "life, liberty & levin" sunday.or being here. two great guests represent of michael waltz soul with a national security adviser in former u.s. navy lieutenant liet commander, founder of american islamic forum for democracy and cofounder of the muslim reform movement. before we go to our guests, we have this judge in manhattan who says were going to do a sentencing next week of donald trump. and i am very disturbed by the legal analysis by defense counsel, former prosecutors who say okay, look this may not be a great thing but it gives trump the opportunity to appeal. what are you talking about? donald trump is an innocent man. he did not commit any misdemeanors pretty did not commit any felonies. not a new york state, not at the federal level, not anywhere. he was subjected to a stalinist trout that violated at least four of his constitutional rights under the bill of rights of the federal constitution. what are you talking about? we have a judge and a prosecutor who timed this case to try to stop a trump from getti

uh, its also been evidence in the personnel decisions that mark soccer board has been making. the, for example, has appointed the prominent republican joel kathlyn as the chief of global affairs officer at baton. now uh, joel kaplan, i actually also appeared on fox and friends. that's a show that donald trump supposedly watches in order to explain these policy changes at match off. there is also dana white, known as a key, trump ally, and the president of the ultimate fighting championship r u. s. c. he has also been recently appointed to the board. so perhaps more than worries about a lying about metal aligning itself to the incoming leadership of the united states . i think what we're in fact seeing is evidence that that is in right what is happening. so how will this new community notes model work of the well, i think here uh we can see that marks docker bird has been inspired by the long boss. now, you know, on most golf course is the owner of. 5 x slash twitter and himself saw a key, trump surrogate. so you know, and boss has also been relying on community notes instead o

do we see going into this new year mark as well? i, i think that you know, the 1st the elephant row in the room is the conflict in, in ukraine. i, i do not believe that the conflict and ukraine will, will end in the next year. i think the trend of the acceleration and the escalation of the conflict will continue despite you know, you know, but the new us administration of donald trump coming into office in the united states simply because i do not believe that there is any deal that the u. s, president, whoever that us present it is, can offer russia that russian will accept. and, and russia's terms are unacceptable to any us presidents, an attempt by the donald trump administration to, you know, play a role they, oh, he's going to cut a deal between russia and ukraine as if he some kind of neutral outside arbiter is just patently false. this is ultimately a conflict between russia and the united states uh, on the united states. it is a proxy war, but it is a conflict that the us is losing, and trump owns that conflict. as soon as h

mark: hello america i am mark levin and this is "life, liberty & levin" send eight to sunday ts restssor jon r friend ben shapiro as well i'm not a very happy camper not in the least as a result of and actions taken by the united state supreme court in a five -- four order the other day that you are generally familiar with. this is an order that basically told the trump lawyers in new york go ahead and proceed with your judicial abomination. and you will have no recourse. now, i want to discuss this at some length i think some of the legal analysis is fantastic but it's way off point. the issue here is not just what happened in that courtroom for what happened in that courtroom in manhattan was a disgrace of jury instructions, prejudicial testimony phony laws, ignoring the immunity and the supreme court and so forth and so on. the fact the judge ruled he's not going to imprison the president of the united states is not a victory to me. let's start from the beginning. we have something called the supremacy clause. why do we have that question of deltoid why we have that wit articles e

interesting developments here, mark. your reaction to what's going on at meta with these conservative appointments. >> we've seen an overall about face across all of tech. i mean, you look at the washington post as an example. they didn't endorse a presidential candidate, they want to hire more conservative writers, so you've seen guys like jeff bezos, you've seen mark zuckerberg, you've seen all these tech leaders go down to mar-a-lago to talk with trump. i think a lot of them probably want some of what u.k elon muskd tesla got out of the relationship with trump. the stock performed very, very well last year. i think a lot of these companies overall are realizing they can no longer just be a mouthpiece for the democrats, they actually have to run good, solid, high growth, profitable businesses and having good minds on their board is important. now, you know, the whole dana white mark zuckerberg thing, look, i think there's a bit of a fan boy element at play here as well because mark zuckerberg certainly is a big ufc fan

mark: hello america i am mark levin this is "life, liberty & levin" saturday.s good to be back. it's good to have you back to prove it to great guest through governor ron desantis and gordon chang appeared before go to our guests, isn't it strange when you have an entity that is at war with us but we do not accept the fact that they are at war with us? i am talking about islamic terrorists. all over the world that infiltrated our country. every aspect of our country, our culture, our government and academia in our media they are here. right now as i speak the war against america by the islamic terrorists. they have infiltrated our country. and yet we have this horrendous islamic terrorist attack in new orleans. by shamsud-din jabbar. the first thing out of the mouth of the senior fbi official is, they are not sure it is terrorism. they dumped their not sure it's terrorism? you seat ladies and judgment we cannot win a war if our american citizens are going to die if we do not acknowledge we are in a war with islamic terrorism. apparently the federal bureau of in

mark. yeah. >> that's right, garcia, they have the extreme fire danger in southern california that continues for today. we had some windy conditions here in the bay area, with even the oakland hills reporting a wind gust of 60 miles an hour overnight. right now, here's the satellite where you can see lots of clear skies. there's a big ridge out here in the pacific. this is the upper level wind pattern and the circulation here. that pressure difference from that high to that area of low pressure, setting up the wind event, especially to our south, will come in closer. right now, we'll check out some of the current wind speeds. and the wind advisory expired earlier this morning. and right now it's nice to show you winds in the single digits for santa rosa out toward oakland, concord and in fairfield. here's some more reports for you showing you sfo winds at about seven miles an hour and livermore an easterly breeze at 16 miles an hour. so there's still a breeze out there. but not talking abou

mark: i am mark steines.and i am chris schauble, wishing you all a very happy new year. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> well, happy new year. i'm reyna harvey and i'm john shrable. so glad you're joining us in the first moments of 2025. hopefully enjoy the rose bowl. there looks nice down in la i know. and the weather. beautiful start. yeah. i mean, it was absolutely gorgeous down there. they got the sunshine. we got yeah. it watching the fireworks last night was absolutely incredible up for that that's ok. i know you woke up later because your neighbors were, you was a party like, yeah. >> but yeah, hey, if you are waking up with us this morning, this is what you have to expect. if you're getting outside. >> things not looking too bad out there at all. this is your live look in san francisco at the embarcadero rain and they got that cleanup quick and that there was a lot of people out there last night looking nice and clean this morning as we do get this first day of 2025, kicked off on a high note. storm tracker 4 is showing show

your reaction to mark zuckerberg here?g this after trump won and he's going to restore free speech. free speech lawyers told us it's horrendous and awful and far left democrats tilted the conversation and manipulated social media like facebook to do it. >> correct. and let's be honest, do we think he'd have made the statement if kamala harris had won? i don't think so. the fact of the matter is that mark zuckerberg is a political human weather vein and will go whenever way the -- whichever way the winds are blowing and i don't think we can trust him and verify he'll do these things till he makes full restitution to all the conservative publications he's censored for years and cost them millions in revenue and profusely apologizes for those things. even then, liz, i have 419 million reasons as to why i don't trust zuck. because of the zuck bucks used in 2020 to rig and manipulate those elections and that's one of the reasons joe biden won and inflicted all the misery on us for the last four years. i don't trust him and don'

now mark zuckerberg is the one crying foul as he throws bite in. none of the boss said, but he was just following government orders. are these don't know port that takes us through the details. mark soccer berg went on joe rogan's podcasts to talk a lot of smack about his own company's fact checking program calling. it's something out of 1984. i mean, according to the sucker berg, he only made it that way because government spooks and the binding administration were forcing his hand, which is a pretty funny claim, considering just how gung ho, the c e o of meadow was about censoring content for the longest time. up until only now, i mean, if in fact, in early 2023, when the twitter files were just, were still making a news headlines. it was an established fact that the social media giants, including facebook and really weren't going above and beyond just to help the states sense or content. we learned twitter, facebook, google, and other companies developed a formal system for taking in moderation requests from every corner of government. the f b i

next up when you host mark simone break it down and reacted the sound and also, this street, prior toldfire start, was it arsonists or electrical, tonight former top la fire department battalion officer and easier with his expert take on the clues this mystery also coming up. >> there's the emergency use authorization that they needed in order to get this pushed through. you cannot have that without valid therapeutics being available pretty so the ballot therapeutics. liz: that was joe rogan talking to mark zuckerberg who did come clean on how the biden white house facebook to censor conservatives the zuckerberg it and joe rogan expose much much more about that biden white house censorship and all of this is coming up and please stick with has more to come, after the break. >> basically pushed us and said, anything that says that the vaccines might have side effects we basically need to take down. this is clem. clem's not a morning person. or a night person. or a...people person. but he is an "i can solve this in 4 different ways" person. and that person... is impossible to replace. y

it's run by mark zuckerberg, the third richest person on earth. he recently met with president- elect trump at mar-a-lago and this news is breaking with the zuckerberg video and a rollout on fox news. >> we are going to get rid of fact checkers, the recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point. >> there's an opportunity. >> we are going to work with president trump. >> the message is clear, get rid of the fact checkers that trump doesn't like, reflect that tipping point of the win as zuckerberg called it, and most voters use facebook or instagram, so these changes will shape the information and whether it is fact checked or not that most people get in this coming era. it is telling, and should be noted, when powerful companies proclaim they are ditching fact checking, pursuant to a political agenda. studies have shown the fact checking that is being ditched that i just showed you, it did work, it cut down on belief in falsehoods, zuckerberg sites elon musk, his ex, in his announcement, and he cites trump. so this is one of those times

mark is not a fan of it holding water with the court.residential immunity extends to president-elect and being a convicted felon is not a good thing when you try to carry out presidential duties. a lot of convicted felons can tell you how much of a mark that is against you even after you served your time. is there some weight to that argument? >> it would be some -- it would be harmful to have this on his record? i don't think it animates any of the concerns the court was thinking about whether n it iss that ruling. they were concerned about distraction in terms of the time it took away from the president as well as the being under the shadow of investigation and prosecution while conducting their job. simply being sentenced doesn't do that. the fact this man had been convicted by a jury of 34 felony counts didn't stop him from being elected with 312 electoral votes. the idea that this is going to stigmatize him in some way that will be irreversible is also kind of laughable when he is going to be as of friday ten days away from his seco

mark, joe with, your reaction. >> yeah.t we now have adopted a new dog, frankie. and this new dog, oh, my god, is he crazy. he runs over the the wholehouse so fast that he can't stop, and he runs smack dab into walls, but he's a fun little guy. we're happy to have him as part of the family. maria: i'm so sorry about bode ifty, mark, and joe, i know you also lost luna. last month. >> she was is our second english bulldog, we loved her very much. videos jt remind us how much better dogs are hand people. [laughter] people are so problematic, and sometimes you really don't want the deal with them. you never, never, ever not want to spend time with your with dog. dog owners know that. cat owners, i don't quite get. god bless you all, but dogs are wherest the at. maria: you know what? it's true. and i think about my sweetheart, dusty, who is so smart, it's incredible. and, you know, when i first lost ella bella, i didn't want to get another one, but i'm so grateful that i ended up taking the plunge and getting my baby, dusty. gre

chief of staff mark meadows, who refused to voluntarily comply.n, when asked to appear before a federal grand jury that took months and months and months of delay. but it was ultimately conservatives on this us supreme court. that's why do trump is escaping criminal accountability here. in terms of this report itself, i think it's going to come out. but, you know, who knows what these courts. it's important for the historical record that it comes out. absolutely. but it's also important to rebut this narrative that doj was dragging its feet on investigating donald trump early on. we know there's recent reporting that disputes that. but it's also important to rebut the false narrative that this prosecution was political or politicized. donald trump and donald trump alone is the only one responsible for being prosecuted by this justice department. >> ancash your view on this, especially when anthony says, you know, people are saying that doj dragged its feet on this. >> yeah. well, look, we respectfully we have a difference of opinion on this. i hav
