mark levin, thanks so much. director and producer of hard times, lost on long island.ht now on hbo. very powerful stuff. >> thank you. and yes, can you get it on hbo, hbo go and hbo ondemand, thank you. >> thank you so much, mark. >> thank you, fredricka. >>> you can have seen the underground tunnels that drug cartels use to smuggle narcotics. we see the most sophisticated tunnel yet. this is new york state. we built the first railway, the first trade route to the west, the greatest empires. then, some said, we lost our edge. well today, there's a new new york state. one that's working to attract businesses and create jobs. a place where innovation meets determination... and businesses lead the world. the new new york works for business. find out how it can work for yours at thenewny.com. i've been fortunate to win on golf's biggest stages. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. enbrel can help

megyn: joining me by phone, mark levin, the host of the "the mark levin show." the author of "men in black, how the supreme court is destroying the united states of america." it seems like many conservatives are dried on this. some -- conservatives are divide on this. some believe it's a master check move by the chief justice who managed to narrow congress's powers under the commerce clause and are declaring victory. >> this is why conservatives screw up so often. where obama-care is upheld and the supreme court becomes more powerful and we continue to lurch left ward and they see victory. they are blind i their own silliness. they have tried hard to prop up the silver lining argument. there is no silver lining. what we lack in to many public officials is virtue, is integrity. is prudence. an overtime they become cynical and deceitful. and their view of our constitutional system collapses. one way to try to address this is to insure that there is more opportunity for other brilliant people, great lawyers, judges and so forth to step up to the plate and have an o

secondly, as mark levin said, she has foreign policy experience where romney has none, but you have toebate on the iraq war. it doesn't make any sense to me at all. there is only one choice. marco rubio. he may not take it but silly not to. >> dana: i would be remiss if i didn't say that conde rice is a good personal friend, somebody i considered a mentor when i was at the white house. it trust her. i just feel like for full disclosure. i don't think is necessarily true. one of the things people said eric, she said all along she is not interested. said today she would not serve if asked. dick cheney said the same thing until august of 2000. >> eric: again, mark levin said pick a damn conservative is what he said. you remember in the republican primary? the whole divide over whether mitt romney was a conservative or established republican, and then they pushed it and pushed and pushed and said don't worry, go with him. he can win. maybe it's time to pick an extreme conservative vice president. maybe it's marco rubio or paul ryan. kind of chris christie. any one of those would absolutely

but in the guest spot today is director and producer, mark levin. premieres this monday, july 9th at 9:00 p.m. on hbo. and mark, thanks for joining us. i want to start by asking you, you chose to explore this on long island. you called it the birthplace of the post-war suburban good life. for people out there who may be know long island mainly for the long island accent, i wonder if you could tell us a little bit about the history out there and what it is that made you think this is the place to explore the great recession ? >> well, i think that the story of levittown is really the story of after world war ii, the american society decided we owed something to the great generation, we helped them with homes and levittown was built as a model town for suburbia and returni ining gis. and it became the center of expansion that happened on long island and all over this country. but we decided instead of going to the rust belt or some of the places that were hardest hit by the real estate crisis, that we would go to the kind of an iconic spot, the heart

david cocoa he is a research director at the independence institute and in washington we cross to mark levine he is a radio host and senior advisor with the truman national security project all right folks cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i don't know if i can go to you first if guns make a country safer than the u.s. should be the safest country in the world but it's not why not well it is then that that's a very interesting question and it raises questions about you know kind of irony and and contradictions and fact the crime rate is going down and yet more people are interested and guns and we saw in the wake of the shootings in colorado and immediate uptick in people contacting. gun schools firing ranges wanting to take out permits on guns and. and a lot of times people say well i think it'll make me safer and yet you would expect if the crime rate is going down that there would be less interest in guns so there seems to be sort of a contradictory behavior going on ok marc how do you explain the contradiction i agree with that well i think it has to d

>>neil: clearly the mormon is stormin' and discount mark levin, lovin'. , what do you think of the response? >>guest: i like it. four more months of this and we should be okay, because, look, the fact is, and what romney is tapping into, americans are not about wellfare and food stamps but we are about success, that is the american dream. we are americans about independence and free will and the pursuit of success. and what obama said on saturday is so outrageous he is disrespecting the american people. everyone out there who hold as job and works hard and applies their skills and gets an honest day for pay committee on start

megyn: that was conservative radio host mark levin on the impact of last week's healthcare ruling. despite some conservatives praising the decision for allegedly limiting the government's power to regulate you under the commerce clause of the constitution there are new questions about whether this decision actually expands the feds power over your life under the taxation powers of the constitution. joining me now republican senator mike lee of utah, former law clerk for now supreme court justice samuel a hraoet too. alito. welcome back to the program. there was a split among conservatives, some defending chief justice roberts, saying he did write and opinion that reviewed to expand commerce powers. other folks are saying you're looking at the wrong sections of the opinion. if you look at what the court actually held, it is basically an expansive power without limit upped the taxation powers of the congress. >> that is exactly right, megyn, and that's why it's concerning to so many people who love liberty in america. people who understand that the government exists to serve the peop

>>neil: clearly the mormon is stormin' and discount mark levin, lovin'. mark, what do you think of the response? >>guest: i like it. four more months of this and we should be okay, because, look, the fact is, and what romney is tapping into, americans are not about wellfare and food stamps but we are about success, that is the american dream. we are americans about independence and free will and the pursuit of success. and what obama said on saturday is so outrageous he is disrespecting the american people. everyone out there who hold as job and works hard and applies their skills and gets an honest day for pay committee on start as business, he justshipped -- just slapped everyone around. he despises the capitalist sell. his tax on bain capital, that is not about bain capital or not because bain capital was a failure, he despises bain capital because it is a success and it created jobs the same reason he despises energy and the health care industry and all the other private enterprises that he is seeking to undo. >>neil: well what is most telling in the r

mark levin points out, the constitution is trashed. rush will tell you the same thing. why would the court rule on something that would make the court look better but not on what the actual law was? >> bob: it's been trashed for a year. are you kidding me? i don't care what rush and laura whatever her name is says. the fact of the matter is that obamacare has been beat up and trashed in the main stream media and every place else. it's not got an break and yet it made it. >> eric: because john roberts changed -- >> bob: look, he said it was a tax. if he wants to call at it tax, call it a tax. fine with me. all i know is that we now have insurance for people who desperately need it. >> dana: it's actually a monsterrous fabrication to say now everybody has insurance. this is going to take years to implement. taxes are going to go up immeasurably and our care will get worse. so there is that. i've had root canals in the past two weeks that were less painful than going through this machination of trying to figure out what happened. while people were skeptical at first, bewil

mark levin says forget about a administration focused on optics, a supreme court justice more so is more worrisome and frightening. men in black, how the supreme court is destroying america, says the latest developments confirm his suspicions. mark i hear you talking about this. you haven't cooled down yet. >> no, you know why? the constitution, neil, is the difference between a civilized society that preserves individual sovereignty and tierney, the rule by iron fisted mousser mind. we have a chief justice of the united states who abandoned his principle and the constitution and rewrites it as if he's a one-man constitution convention. it's tyranny and i hear talk about the politics, is it a tax, is it punishment. let's call it a cucumber. pretend it's a cucumber. the fact is what roberts did and the four leftists with him is concoct and argument and rewrite the constitution, rewrite the statute and now we have obama care. here's the problem, even if we we peel obama care, how do we repeal the decision and shut the door he flung over to the enormous power the government will have agains

mark levin says attention romney campaign staff. you need to go on the offense. forget apologies. take the mitts off. president obama is playing the brass knuckle rule of chicago politics. rather than call for apology, romney needs to break a bottle on the bar and start fighting back. is this an issue? >> they are fighting back. but the conundrum, obama wants them to fight back in the way they are attacking and he wants them in the gutter with them. when they go to refute this, they need to flip this to a higher level and say this is misleading, untrue and false ads. the reason he is doing this is because he is trying to hide the sorry record on creating jobs, controlling spending, reducing the deficit. they have to raise it up. they can't take the bait and fall in the mud with president obama because at the end of the day, if this is a battle between two sort of mud slingers, neither one of them looking for people to go with the guy who is already president. >> bret: do you agree? >> care to be cautious candidacys always don't do very well. romney is a care to be cautious candida

meanwhile of kentucky lambasting the disclose act on the conservative radio show "the race to" with mark levin>> this is the most important issue nobody is talking about. that is the effort by the left to intimidate those who are contributing to outside groups who are opposed to the obama administration and -- into not contributing or shutting up or going away. what the democrats have done is conjure of a proposal to require the disclosure of contributions ,o what are called 501-c4's social organizations, many of which both the left and right are involved in politics. they have done it to get their names so they can intimidate them with the power of the government. the irs is investigating tea party groups all across the country. the sec has gone after corporations they think may be exercising their first amendment rights. this is quite reminiscent of the nixon administration and the enemies list. they are checking their enemies list twice, making sure who has been naughty and nice. the people who are not our anyone opposed to the obama administration critics out senator mitch mcconnell. peter

let's listen to your favorite radio host besides me, mark levine -- >> i listen to him every day. >> are triggering a mass exodus from your state of maryland. >> let me ask you something, jerk! how many jobs have you created in maryland? how many people have you chased out of marry lapped? you big dummy. that guy in-state tuition for illegals he's pushing. this guy's right down the line, leftist. you people in maryland, you happy with this? with this jerk! mitt romney bets against america. mitt romney created more jobs and his folks did at bain capital than this guy could ever dream of. >> sean: why are they leaving? >> taxes. >> sean: and everything mark was saying. >> that's how they vote. i don't want the count tree follow suit. that's the bottom line. >> okay. i assume most of these people supported the war in iraq and the afghanistan war, which cost us about $1 trillion. but they don't want to pay taxes to pay the massive debt that we have? i mean, at some point, people have to step up to the plate and pay down the debt -- >> we are not talking about wealthy people. this is the

we'll talk to the film's director mark levin next.'s bill karins with a check of the forecast. bill? >> well, good thursday morning to you, lawrence. temperatures continue to be the big story across the country. what a fourth of july it was for the heat. one of the hottest fourth of julys our country has ever seen. i mean wide spread, from the rockies to the east coast. a look at all the major cities above 100 degrees. how rare is this? highlighted by that 105 in st. louis, chicago continue to boil at 102. it's not like it was cool in the eastern city, either. washington, d.c. still about 800,000 people without power was 99 degrees. so what do we do today? we're already starting to feel like the mid to upper 80s. 89 it feels like in richmond this morning. minneapolis at 87. the heat hasn't gone away and it won't until sunday or monday. so we have heat warnings in effect for minneapolis through chicago, down to st. louis and to the ohio valley. then we're really going to see the heat increasing in the eastern half of the country as we

mark levin, thank you. thank you for bringing that to us.e the casey anthony trial. her former attorney jose baez starting the "starting point" team and the behind-the-scenes details. "presumed guilty: casey anthony the inside story" next. i know you have a lot of questions still. on a desolate highway in your jeep grand cherokee. and when you do, you'll be grateful for the adaptive cruise control that automatically adjusts your speed when approaching slower traffic. and for the blind spot monitoring that helps remind you that the highway might not be as desolate... ...as you thought. ♪ would you mind if to be i go ahead of you?omer. instead we had someone go ahead of him and win fifty thousand dollars. congratulations you are our one millionth customer. people don't like to miss out on money that should have been theirs. that's why at ally we have the raise your rate 2-year cd. you can get a one-time rate increase if our two-year rate goes up. if your bank makes you miss out, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. er i

ideas of conservativism and tie it to the big personalities, peter schweitzer, monica crowley, mark levinike that and steve moore, dr. walt williams take the big ideas with big personalities and try to have a big impact and show people that never had this kind of class warfare, we're a conservative country and those conservative ideas are what made us great. >> steve: and peter, the whole idea is that for a lot of kids on college campuses, they just get one side and it's way left, they don't know anything about the right. >> that's exactly right. that was my experience in college, you know, 20-something years ago and even more so today. i think the reality is that really this political correctness, is only hearing one side is really a sign of weakness on the part of the left. when you have an open exchange of ideas, as relates to how to live your life and how our society should be organized, i think ultimately the conservative ideas win. this is a sign of weakness. what we're trying to do is to encourage and to let conservative students know, there's a different view, you're not alone, no

here with his thoughts on how to get america back to mark, michael levin, president and coo of the lasalison is also a member. >> good morning, joe, how are you? >> i'm well. we talk about banks being impossible to understand and too big. i wouldn't know -- i guess we'll start in lay vs vegas and macau and then your moves into the continent in spain is something we could spend a half hour on but let's talk about how business is given the economic backdrop in las vegas. are you allowed to talk about that? >> we can talk about las vegas if you want. the major thing about las vegas it is indicative of what the job creator's alliance is all about, how we educate employees on what's going on with our government, and policies and about our government and how it inhibits job creation, but vegas is basically, our visitation is up, has been up for the last year or so, may we had lousy numbers in i have gas that were published in terms of gaming revenue but our visitation was up. we're getting less spend per person and that's what statistically is happening. people don't have as much money in th
