Conservative. Now first things first, 1993, you pitched in the world series. The phillies, they lost. 2001, arizona diamondbacks, 2004 and the championships. Your and 11 into postseason record. I just wanted the nation to understand how phenomenal it is. It is the greatest postseason record in a picture thats pitched ten or more games in the postseason. Its 8. 86 winning percentage, not during this for a reason. So you have the majorleague record when it comes to that. You also struck out over 3000 batters. One behind gibson. You tied for third or one behind . One behind on third period and you routinely, it wasnt that long ago you routinely pitch 67 innings. Thats really not done anymore. This is a tremendous record. You are not in the hall of fame. You are not in the hall of fame, is that because of your views . You think its political . Part of it is its not a guess, people have not voted for a beat specifically because of the things i said or did. I cannot said i cant vote for him because of what he said or what he did. Its the night isnt that pretty outrageous are the sosebee voting on your career in baseball as an athlete . Not whether they agree with your conservative views or not . Two words come up. The character clause. There is a couple issues that come up with that. First of all, ive seen recently ive been put in the clemens and bonds category. The character issue this and that. Which kills me because Roger Clemens was a big influence on my career. But i dont doubt for a second that he cheated. They are equating me, and something ive done or said with guys who willingly, Lance Armstrong and a sense destroyed other peoples lives to to preserve their identity. My dad told me dont ever live your life trying to please people you dont know. Thats, ive lived that. You can go back and look at 22 years of the career, i had an incident with the teammates, not a serious incident common everyday episode. Fans, clubhouse guys. Mark isnt this what they do with conservatives generally . Look what they dig the president of the United States. Before he became a republican, before he decided to run, before he was president of the United States. The liberals love him. Media loves him, hollywood loves him and they could not say enough things about them. They took his money, they took us donation, they made money off his programs. Then he decides to run for president of the United States. Next thing you know hes a reprobate, he is hitler, he is stalin, he is a thousand things they said. Isnt that what people come up against. We come up against it he came up against it, you came up against it, we all come up against it. Why did they destroy it rather than engage . Its all hard time to get a liberal to sit in this chair . I will converse in debate anybody. I am open, one of the things i was was coachable. I would listen to anybody about anything that would help make me better. My thirst for knowledge after i got done playing is a same. I will debate, i will talk about anything. Because military history is my passion. I my mom told me how to speed read when i was young, i read about a book a night. I find something i dont know. Because a book is an interpretation of something i can look up myself. But i want different perspectives and viewpoints. Because especially where we are now. If you look at where this country is now. Mark wears this country now . As conservatives we are up a group of people who dont have any forethought and think ahead. You cannot in any scenario in the real world play out this socialist dream and come to a conclusion that benefits the people. It has never worked anywhere ever. Mark scandinavia. Scandinavia and dont realize it doesnt scale. There are six or seven in the their there were 3 million and tens of millions of those people it doesnt work. And so you look at a generation, my kids are between 16 and 22. So they are in college, they are pretty conservative. And they are listening to liberal professors say things and will text me. My son has one professor that said i dont want you to take otis at face value i want you to challenge me. That is the first time ive heard anyone say that. Be nine so you think the country is moving in the wrong direction because of this socialist pressure that is in place in our schools and society in the media . Even though there is a pushback. The president of the United States and other conservatives. You know where we are right now, you are kind of in the eye of the storm given a sense. Given your influence on the people of the right and the hatred that comes from the left. That means you are on target doing something right. Trump is gonna win in 2020. There is just no feasible way, unless the russians and democrats get together again and try to rig another election. But he is going to wait in 2020. They are not going to suddenly scale back, theyll be apoplectic. They will be more so than they are now. Mark you dont think it ends well . It cant end well. The left is proven they wont let it end until they get their way. Mark thats an example of the wall. The walls a great example. Back when they love trump they were also approving defunding the wall. You can look at the soundbites they are saying we need Border Security we need this. Now they say it and they only set because President Trump wants it. But i feel good about it, he is not going to given he is not in and the shut down until he gets his money. Mark you are describing a Political Party that puts power before country. Because while in the world would they change their position, everyone knows the nation used to secure their border. Everybody knows its a bad thing for drugs and drug runners to come into the country. Everybody knows we need to know is coming into this country. Those are all common sense. Mark but they reject it. They dont reject it because its irrational or bad policy, or bad for the country. They reject it because its bad for their own political nests. The fa have a Propaganda Machine at cnn, and msnbc and near time, day in and day out talking about your kids. They have academia and their back park it with tenured professors who are most hardcore leftwing. Much like you in sports. Lefties in sports can newport and much everything they want to do. They can take means they can do whatever. Conservatives in sports have to do very careful. Kasim the sports media is ready leftwing. Look theres no better example the next class nine years. Tim thomas carried the bruins to the stanley cup in 2011, he did not go to the white house. He is like baltimore. He who must not be names. I mean he carried the bruins to if stanley cup and was the greatest thing ever. And then in 2004 blew up. The patriots refused to go to the white house, they are icons there people to follow. And so you cant, like the hall of fame stuff. I cant live my life for those people. Because they are never going to like you. Theres a certain part of the world that will never like you for whatever reason. The reason they dont like me has to do with character, integrity, morals, ethics, honor. All the things my dad taught me to it believe. We were talking earlier and i said one of the most powerful lessons of my life was clemens pulled me aside and talked about my dad passed away about eight months before i made my majorleague debut. Mark s we never saw any of this . No not from ground level anyway. Roger told me when you walk on the field the name on the back your jersey thats not your name. Thats your fathers name. And i never forgot that. I left a ticket for my dad for every game i ever played. I wanted empty seat in the stadium during the stadium during the world series that next time i talk to him hell know never forgot about them. Mark you flirted with running for office. That would be a tough place to run. But thats way chose boston over new york to play. Mark really. Yeah fell into new york and help them when hohum. But if i go to boston and help break the curse or whatever they call it, i want the challenge. I wanted the challenge. And it turned out to be partially a great thing. I got what i asked for. Mark you think your run . No not now. When i watch with the left is done to people that they dont like, especially politicians. When i watch the kavanaugh hearings and i realize the conservative wives and children are now in play for the media. My family does not deserve that. They spent 20 years following me around baseball im not going to subject into that. Mark we are gonna talk more about that the kavanaugh hearings, your philosophy, your view of sports. The sports to me is following the Democrat Party pretty much. Yes. Mark folks dont forget to join us almost every weeknight on levintv. Go to blaze tv. Com marker you can sign up. Or gives a call at 844 levintv. 844 levintv, a lot of conservatives are there and we would like free to join us. Well be right back. The capitalism we got the week and its why were we are where we are. I entrenched my stance when i was old enough to read the constitution. I think i was 11. Mark you are far ahead of nancy pelosi. I read it and its a pretty cool document. And then when you think about were talking earlier about foresight. The amount of foresight these guys had to put this document together knowing full well that we are are a horribly flawed species and that somebody somewhere was going to try to do many, many bad things to its just mindboggling that there are that smart and weve gone through some changes weve had to live through some of the worse things. We fought a civil war, nobody else did that. A hundred, almost a million were killed, it was a conflict to eliminate slavery. We have our past we have scars of the past and those cars why we are where we are. Ive been wanting to get in front of you and ask you this question for the longest time. When you talk about racist everyone is throwing that word around right now. If you dont agree with this you are racist this and that. By look at the civil war, the three members that were past post civil war what they mention what they did. I want to know why we had to have a Civil Rights Movement in 1960 to give minorities the rights they were given in 1870 . Mark i will tell you why and thats interesting you bring this up. Those amendments had to be adopted by the states. And its often said while quote unstick quote states rights, i called federalism. Its a problem because you look at it precivil war, its the states that fought the states. I know is the union but it states fighting states. And the states that passed the post civil war amendments abolishing slavery, conferring equal rights formally and due process on former slaves. We look at the declaration of independence those in reference thereto religion, race, nothing intentional. They were embracing not just enlightenment but logic, the logic came from cicero who was murdered. In all these people, jon locke who was on the wall there, these were the great thinkers, the great minds of humanity. And only in america when you set up the government do we embrace these things. Not marks, that comes later, not hegel, it comes a little later but someone of contentment. It was followed by the french and then they had ten years of terrorism and then the french revolution. The reason why there had to be a Civil Movement was because there was resistance particularly in the south among the old democrats. And the Democrat Party. You have to remember that as recently as 1924 that the Democrat Convention at Madison Square garden in new york the klan controlled the Convention People people dont know that. Franklin roosevelts first appointment to the Supreme Court was a member of the klan in alabama had been a lawyer for the clan. His excuse was i did not know. I ask you that question because i wanted that answer. But also, our kids are being missed taught or not taught the true history of this country. And i think it is damning to the education system. But the kkk was born out of the end of the civil war because it was a way for the democrats, even though they were playing, we can make them theorists enough to keep them away from the polls and all the other stuff. Mark they hanged people there was terrorism. There the terrorism terrorism arm of the democrat. There is one person that switched. And then you talk about everybody that followed goldwater. And everybody that voted against civil rights with goldwater, will goldwater wasnt against civil rights he was voting against giving the government more federal power. Mark the first civil rights amendments were the post civil war amendments. The first civil rights law was proposed by eisenhower. That was in 1956. The 64 civil rights act, the 65 civil rights Voting Rights act, the vast majority of republicans voted for both. I disagree with goldwater on this. His was a constitutional argument. While thats fine. The problem i have is that the Democrat Party, and their mouthpieces in the media were accusing republicans of what they were. Will i think they have lurched in a completely different direction. A radical left direction, and thats a very bleak place to take the country. Its very dangerous. Well be right back.

Then white house has sent congress formal notifications under the world powers act of the drone strike that killed i ron stop general qassem soleimani. Mourners took us to the streets in baghdad chanting death to america during a procession for soleimani. Iran has promised to avenge his killing is President Trump again defended the airstrike that killed him. And strongly urging them against retaliation. The wildfires in australia getting worse as temperatures rise to record levels. This trillium Prime Minister is now caused calling about 3000 members of the military reserves to help combat the rapidly spreading flames. So far 23000 square miles of bush land has burn. Thats about the same size as the nation of croatia. I am jon scott. Now back to life liberty and levin. Be nine Curt Schilling, rio always republican . I think i was i think when i registered a registered as an independent. I think to this day i am probably more of an independent republican because socially and very progressive. But fiscally i am not. Mark socially your view is . I dont care who you sleep with, i dont care about any of the other things i have a son on the spectrum. And he is one of the greatest human beings you are ever going to meet. And he formed the lgb qt club in high school. And as far as i know he straight, i dont know i dont really care. But ive had kids coming into my house for eight years that are gay, they are transgender, that are making the change from boy to girl girl the boy, i dont use pronouns around his friends because i dont want to get in trouble with them. Mark i use pronouns because i dont know what else to say. They are the greatest kids in the world and who are you dating, it. Mark youre not a republican because of that. You are republican why . s speemac i really them a republican because i love competition and i think it brings out the best in human beings. Mark this whole notion of centralized government, of uniformity, of redistributing wealth, kind of destroys those motivations and principles. Heres the thing, the second you say you are against obamacare, youre hoping people die. Thats according to those people. I want everybody to have healthcare. First of all lets be clear. No one can, you cannot be denied healthcare. Mark thats federal law. You can be denied health insurance, but you cannot be denied healthcare. The fact is in capitalism if we force people to under a single paired Government Run Health Care system, then we are going to be telling people to go to medical school to become doctors just how much money theyre about to make every year. And thats a slippery slope. And when is our government ever proven to us there fiscally competent . Mark ive a question for you. Bernie sanders talks about government. Elizabeth warren talks about government. All these people talk about government. Can they give us some names. Look exactly who is going to run the Healthcare System . And exactly word of these experts come from . They are not experts they are people in the bureaucracy, they are Civil Servants and in the union some have seniority. Too that of expert test . So basically what these leftists are telling us is the people in the bureaucracy are smarter, more experienced, more noble than everybody else. How is that the case . They have been making it clear to us as conservatives that we are deplorable. You are just stupid rednecks and we know better than you so just shut up and let us do what we want to do. With no background of success in doing anything. Thats why the private sector is kicking the crab out of the government forever because the competition. Mark are you happy, you are republican. You happy with how the republicans generally conduct themselves in congress . Why not . No. I think most of the republicans in congress stopped representing me about seven or eight years ago and started representing themselves and running for office. They started doing that the day they got into office. Mark is it because they dont stand for conservative principles . They dont fight, they drive up the debt . The democrats when they want something, they dont care. They will ruin your life, they will ruin lives they will do whatever they need to do to get what t
