Fox News host Sean Hannity refers to his longtime friend and colleague Mark Levin as "The Great One." Based on his ratings, the conservative constitutional scholar and provocateur's millions of followers agree.

The undisputed weekend cable king's Sunday night show Life, Liberty & Levin is a ratings bonanza for Fox News, which has prompted the network to arrive at the the conclusion that two new weekend shows would be better than one. 

According to Fox, "Life, Liberty & Levin" is the highest-rated primetime program in cable news on Sundays, "averaging 1.4 million viewers, with 104,000 in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54, in the month of August, crushing its competitors on MSNBC and CNN." Fox added:

In addition to being a highly-watched FOX News Channel host, Levin remains a giant in talk radio with his syndicated program "The Mark Levin Show" airing on over 300 stations across the country with millions of listeners tuning in.

Hence, "Life, Liberty & Levin" will air at 8 p.m. ET on both Saturdays and Sundays beginning Sept. 16.

Meade Cooper, executive vice president of Fox's prime-time programming, said in a statement:

Since joining the network in 2017, Mark has provided our audience with thought-provoking analysis on America’s core values and their impact on current events. We are looking forward to expanding his popular show to two nights a week.

Levin, who doesn't suffer fools gladly (I "might" identify with that trait), was gracious in response to the addition of a second episode.

It's an honor to join the other outstanding hosts on Saturday in bringing the most intelligent, informative, and entertaining programming to the nation. Thank you to our loyal audience and Fox News.

Here's Levin defending capitalism and the Industrial Revolution.

And, incidentally, when I referred to Levin at the beginning of the article as a provocateur? Yeah, that was a compliment. Here's a perfect example:

— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) September 6, 2023

"An unhealthy fetish for the 14th Amendment." Why, that's about as Limbaugh-esque as one could get.

Levin is also a seven-time #1 New York Times bestselling author. His latest book, "The Democrat Party Hates America," is scheduled for hardback release on September 19. Here's a short preview:

Insightful and hard-hitting as ever, Levin proves that since its establishment, the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America. More than a political party, it is the entity through which Marxism has installed its philosophy and its new revolution.

As in a Thomas Paine pamphlet or a clarion call from Paul Revere, Levin alerts his fellow Americans to the destruction this country is facing, and rallies them to defeat the threat in front of us—more looming than ever. 

He writes: “Every legal, legitimate, and appropriate tool and method must be employed in the short- and long-run to defeat the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party must be resoundingly conquered in the next election and several elections thereafter, or it will become extremely difficult to undo the damage it is unleashing at breakneck pace.”

Let's reread that last line: "The Democrat Party must be resoundingly conquered in the next election and several elections thereafter, or it will become extremely difficult to undo the damage it is unleashing at breakneck pace.”

Amen.

The Bottom Line

Congrats to Mark Levin. 

In a world of mealy-mouthed Republicans with a propensity to fold up like a cheap suit when the going gets tough, "The Great One," more often than not, tells it exactly as it is.
