Fox host Mark Levin tells his audience to contact House Republicans to demand they elect Kevin McCarthy as speaker
Levin: “If there were a true leader among these 20 – some of them are would-be leaders in the future, in my view – a couple of them, not many – that's great. But we need to take on the enemy now.”

MARK LEVIN (HOST): If this is bothering you, if you are one of the many who are contacting me saying what are they doing, if you understand this isn't about conservatism, but it's about power – it's about power – then the people in this audience need to get on their phones, get on their emails, however you communicate with your member of Congress – and I'm talking about Republican members of Congress now – and in a civil way, a civil way – communicate with them and tell them you've had enough.
If Jim Jordan were in fact in line or running for speaker, that would be one thing. But he's nominated McCarthy.
And if there were a true leader among these 20 – some of them are would-be leaders in the future, in my view – a couple of them, not many – that's great. But we need to take on the enemy now. We are literally weakening the very thin majority that they have in the House. It's just a matter of time until the public – but even more, the base, turns on these people because they're going to be disgusted with the inaction.
