MARK LEVIN (HOST): I thought the DeSantis appearance on my show last night was very good and very important. We will allow any serious candidate -- not anybody, you know, "I'm running for president --" No, on the program. That's what we do here. It's called free speech. You don't like it? Don't listen.
We will also link to their campaign sites, as we do in every single case. We put Donald Trump's clips up there all the time because I like Donald Trump, but nobody's going to threaten us, or -- the mob's not going to impress us. I'm gonna do what I've always done.
And you know what's interesting? We took a close look at a lot of the comments here, mostly bots. Mostly -- mostly people, non-people. We don't know how they do it, but they're able to do it. And Rush used to talk about this when they used to try and push him off the air. People who suddenly sign up for social media, they're suddenly there. They have no history. They have one line, they have no history of post -- and there they are, by the thousands. And some of you are suckers. Not in this audience. I'm talking about online.
You got this guy Lucky Luciano, AKA Michael Luciano on Mediocre-ite, and he grabs a few of the comments. Anybody can do this. It's not journalism, it's just a left-wing swine ball doing what he does. Look at this, people are upset that Mark had DeSantis on a link to his donation page. We linked to his page that went immediately to his donation page. I'm not gonna sit here and split hairs and worry about any of it. So what? Candidates have to be strong enough to stand on their two feet and fight it out. It's what we do. It's what I do.
And so that was picked up by the sludge report, who's gone radical left, who hates Trump, hates DeSantis, hates Republicans, hates you. Then that was picked up, oh, by the Daily Beast, another left-wing, poisonous website. That was picked up by the Huffington Post, another left -- so, you see how the mob works.
And yet, I was contacted by the real inner circle of the Trump people, who said we're not worried about any of this. It's not us.
