SHAMEFUL: Mark Levin Leaks Tucker Carlson’s Private Text Messages

Go to Article

The feud between Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin is growing, although I’m not even sure you can call it a feud at this point because it seems entirely one sided.

So basically here’s what happened…

Via text message, Tucker Carlson privately invited Mark Levin to a debate.

The debate is to be hosted by TPUSA, and TPUSA invited Tucker and asked Tucker to invite Mark Levin.  So he did.

On Friday, Levin leaked the private conversation by reading the text messages on his radio show.

Suffice it to say Levin declined the invite and called Carlson a “Nazi promoter.”

Listen for yourself here:

TRANSCRIPT:

Mark Levin

I got a very strange text this morning from Tucker Carlson, 10:16 AM.
I’ll read it to you verbatim.

“Good morning,” he writes to me.
“The leadership at Turning Point has asked me to debate you at their event in Scottsdale in December.
I’m happy to do it, and I hope you’ll agree as well.

Beyond the personal insults, which I’ll try to keep to a minimum, there are real and important ideological differences between us, and I think the country would benefit from an extended conversation about them.
So again, I hope you’ll accept.
Let me know.
Thanks.”

The guy is desperate.

He’s taken a hit on his podcast.
He’s fighting like hell for his career.
He’s fighting like hell for his reputation.
People are awakening to what scum he actually is, and he thinks I’m gonna platform him?
He thinks I’m gonna help him kick up his podcast ratings?

What would Charlie say?
What would Rush say?
What would any rational response?

Here it is.
I wrote him the following:

“My family and I want nothing to do with you, what you’ve become, your vile libels against my faith, millions of Christians, and in my view, what you seek to do to our country.
There’s nothing to debate.
You’re a Nazi promoter.
You’re the modern-day David Duke.

I debate people with whom I disagree for a living, who are a lot smarter than you, but for whom I have some respect.
I’m also disappointed in TPUSA that continues to platform you.
It’s not about free speech.
You could be heard by millions regardless.

Some unsolicited advice: stop long enough to remember who you used to be and what you used to stand for.”

So, as expected, knee-jerk:

“For the record, I’m strongly anti-Nazi.”

Does he sound that way to you, America?
Oh, you’re gonna hear more.

“But that’s hardly the point.
This seems like the perfect opportunity to rebut what you consider evil ideas and to do it to my face like a man.
I’d think you’d jump at the chance, assuming you believe your positions are defensible.
I’m offering the marketplace of ideas you often talk about.

Is it possible you can’t really defend, for example, what Israel has done to civilians in Gaza?”

I said, “There you go.
You’re not feared, you’re despised.”

“Well, you’re a coward.
And if you change your mind, I’m here.
Thanks!”

You little bastard, you attacked my stepson.
You didn’t do that face-to-face, did you?
You stabbed him in the back while he’s serving President Trump on his second tour, while he’s in safe rooms with ballistic missiles passing over his head.

You little bastard.
Nobody’s afraid of you.
I’d rather debate a skunk than you.

Backup here if needed:

Without even taking a side in this, I just have one observation…

Tucker seems open for debate, open for a free exchange of ideas, friendly (admittedly with that trademark Tucker Carlson smirk), and wanting a free debate of ideas.

Levin on the other hand sounds angry, weasel-y, petulant and downright nasty.

Even just hearing Levin’s tone of voice as he reads these text messages live on the air (without Tucker’s permission) tells me Levin has already lost the debate.

I also love how Levin must have though reading all this on the air would make him look good (or he wouldn’t have done it) but as far as I can tell Tucker is the one who comes off looking good in this exchange.

What do you think?

But now let’s talk about that part at the end really caught my attention and got my curious…is Mark Levin more popular than Tucker Carlson?  Does Levin have a larger audience?  Does Tucker need Levin to “save his career”?

Not hardly.

Here’s the truth, according to ChatGPT — by most objective measures, Tucker has a larger audience and is more popular than Levin:

Tucker Carlson

Television (former):

  • His show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News Channel averaged about 3.25 million viewers per night in early 2023.

  • Historically, in October 2020, the show averaged around 5.36 million viewers (a monthly high for cable news).

  • On YouTube: his channel/related content shows subscriber counts around ~1.0–1.5 million and total views in the hundreds of millions.

  • Episode-view counts on his YouTube feed: individual recent videos show hundreds of thousands to several million views (e.g., ~4.2 M on a single video).

  • Podcast/chart ranking: his podcast (The Tucker Carlson Show) has charted among top YouTube podcasts and has had periods averaging around ~1 million views per episode, with some episodes hitting ~3.5 million.

Summary: Tucker Carlson’s audience is very large (multi-million viewers on TV, high single-episode counts online), but the numbers are spread across platforms and not always comparable.

Mark Levin

Television:

  • Life, Liberty & Levin on Fox News draws roughly ~1.0–1.8 million viewers depending on the date/quarter, with typical Sunday performances around 1.4–1.8 million P2+ and ~100–170k in the 25–54 demo.

Radio/Podcast:

  • The Mark Levin Show is nationally syndicated (hundreds of stations). Public, aggregate download/cume figures aren’t consistently released, but industry reporting has long placed Levin among the top U.S. talk hosts, implying a multi-million weekly audience.

Summary: Mark Levin holds a strong, multi-platform audience (TV, radio, syndication). But the publicly reported numbers for his TV show are lower than those for Carlson (on comparable metrics).

Direct Comparison & Conclusion

Based on the most comparable available data:

  • Changing platforms aside, Tucker Carlson’s audience numbers (for his TV show) were significantly higher than Levin’s: ~3 million+ viewers vs. ~1–2 million viewers for Levin’s show on TV.

  • Online-platform numbers: Carlson shows strong single-episode YouTube viewership (millions) and solid subscriber counts (~1–1.5 M). Levin’s comparable digital data are sparse in the public domain.

  • Levin has a strong radio presence and syndicated reach, which may elevate his total audience beyond the TV numbers alone — but we don’t have uniformly reported, apples-to-apples figures across media.

Verdict: Based on available data, Tucker Carlson currently (or historically in his TV era) holds higher measurable audience ratings in the major medium (TV) than Mark Levin. However, because of differences in platforms (Carlson’s move to podcast/YouTube; Levin’s continued radio/TV mix) and lack of uniform data across media, the comparison is not perfect.

And since the real judge of value is always the marketplace itself, who is the higher earner?

Well, that’s Tucker again — by a long shot, both if you compare them when they were both at Fox News or if you compare them now, either way Tucker far outshines Levin’s earnings, which makes Levin’s claim of Tucker needing Levin’s help to be a big comical:

Tucker Carlson – Income Overview

Former FOX Salary

  • When hosting Tucker Carlson Tonight, he was reported to earn about $20–$35 million per year.

Post-FOX Income Streams

Tucker’s income now depends on:

  1. Tucker Carlson Network (subscription model)

  2. YouTube & podcast advertising

  3. Sponsorships and partnerships

  4. Licensing deals / international distribution

  5. Occasional live events / speaking

Tucker Carlson Network

  • The subscription price is widely known to be in the $9/month range.

  • If even 200,000 subscribers are active:

    • 200,000 × $9 × 12 ≈ $21.6 million per year gross

  • If 500,000 subscribers (a reasonable mid-range estimate given his reach):

    • ≈ $54 million per year gross

  • If 1,000,000+ subscribers (plausible if global audience matches his historical TV footprint):

    • ≈ $108 million+ per year gross

Not all of this is profit, but Tucker owns the brand and production company, meaning his take-home margin is very highcompared to traditional TV.

YouTube / Advertising

  • YouTube alone likely contributes $2–$6 million per year, depending on view volume + sponsor deals.

Realistic total current annual earning range for Tucker:
~$25 million (low) to $75+ million (high)

Mark Levin – Income Overview

Radio Contract

  • Mark Levin’s radio contract was last publicly reported at ~$50 million over 5 years (previous contract cycle).

    • That equals roughly ~$10 million per year from radio alone.

FOX News TV Show

  • Life, Liberty & Levin (Fox Sunday program) likely pays:

    • ~$2–$6 million per year depending on contract revision and length of term.

Books

  • Levin regularly publishes best-selling political books.

  • A conservative, supportable estimate:

    • ~$1–$4 million per year in book royalties and advances (this fluctuates depending on release schedule).

Podcast (digital version of radio show + extras)

  • Likely adds ~$1–$3 million per year in retransmission + digital syndication revenue.

Realistic total current annual earning range for Levin:
~$14 million (low) to ~$25 million (high)

Direct Comparison – Who Makes More?

PersonEstimated Annual EarningsKey Drivers
Tucker Carlson~$25M to $75M+ per yearSubscription network + YouTube + sponsors
Mark Levin~$14M to ~$25M per yearSyndicated radio + Fox News + book sales

Conclusion

Tucker Carlson likely earns significantly more than Mark Levin right now.

Mark Levin Absolutely UNHINGED In New Speech

Why they call Mark Levin “the Great One” I really have no idea….

Actually, it’s always struck me as quite weird.

I remember the first time I heard someone say that and I really didn’t know who he was or what he stood for I thought “That’s weird!”

Kind of like how LeBron James called declared himself “King James” before he even took one dribble in the NBA — and then proceeded to flop his way through a disgraceful, disgusting career, not even fit to carry Kobe’s jock, let alone Mike’s.

So no, I do not refer to him as “King James”….

And no, I do not refer to Mark Levin as “the Great One”.

No thanks!

Especially not now.

This latest rant is just unhinged.

I have nothing against Israel or the Jews, but I do a big issue with people like Mark Levin and “Homosexual War Pig” Lindsey Graham (as one of you named him) violently yelling at us and basically telling us how they would like to kill us if we don’t support Israel at every turn.

THAT I have a problem with!

I have a really big problem with whatever the hell this is:

TRANSCRIPT:

And I just want the anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-West crowd to understand something.

You’re gonna have to come through me and millions of people just like me, and you’re not gonna make it.

You think your stupid little podcast, or your stupid little subscription program, or your little TV show, or maybe you have a little radio show, is gonna change the world?

Like hell it is. Not if I and everybody else have something to say about it.

Backup video here if needed:

And in case you missed it, here is Lindsey Graham trying to top Mark Levin.

Who is more unhinged?

I can’t tell….you decide!

War Pig Lindsey Graham: “We’ll BEAT YOUR BRAINS IN if you don’t support Israel!”

Lindsey Graham was really in his element tonight at the Republican Jewish Coalition.

What exactly is “his element” you might ask?

Killing.

War.

And supporting Israel.

Look, I have nothing against Israel, and I think we certainly should support them and side with them and partner with them, certainly over the death cult of Islam, but I tend to draw the line and start asking questions when OUR leaders put the Nation of Israel over the United States of America.

That’s simple, right?

AMERICA first, for our elected officials?

Except, it’s never America First for people like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, it’s Israel First….and that often ties right into being in “forever wars” and bombing a lot of people and killing a lot of people.

Don’t believe me?

Just watch here….

Look how absolutely GIDDY he is when he talks about going over and killing everyone in the Middle East.

Again, I’m not saying any of these people are good people.  They’re clearly not.  Hamas IS evil by all accounts I can see.

But watch as Lindsey Graham nearly creams in his slacks when he talks about going over there to kill them all:

TRANSCRIPT:

We will meet you on the battlefield of political discourse and we will beat you politically.
I want the world to know: antisemitism, anti-Israel rhetoric, and anti-Israel thought are not the road to being elected as a Republican.
You will lose.
So now we got that out of the way, right?
But if you ever run for office as a Republican and you embrace this weird shit, we’re gonna beat your brains out.

Speaking of Donald Trump — he said, “Hey, uh, so he’s a great president; if you don’t believe me, just ask him.”
What happened with me and him was we found common ground.
I’ve come to like him and he likes him, and that changed our entire relationship.
But he did the Golan Heights thing, remember Ron?
He said, “I called him up, ‘Where you at? I’m with Bibi. We’re on the Golan Heights.’ “

He says, “I didn’t know we were in New York.”
No — that’s another Golan Heights.
We’re over there; he recognized the Golan Heights by tweet because he understood you can’t give it back to Syria, because they’ll use it to kill you.
He recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Why? Because if you have a problem with that, take it up with God — he’s the guy that did it, not Trump.

So I just want to say I feel good about the Republican Party.
I feel good about where we’re going as a nation.
We’re killing all the right people and we’re cutting your taxes.
Trump is my favorite president.
We’ve run out of bombs.

We didn’t run out of bombs in World War.

Backup here if needed and I love the title: “Homosexual War Hawk Lindsey Graham”….

Accurate?

Watch here:

Then we have Lindsey Graham crapping all over President Trump’s Peace Deal and saying we’ve given it enough time, rip it up and just go over there and kill everyone!

I really do think if the podium were not there, you’d see a dark wet spot oozing down the front of Lindsey’s dockers:

And one more for good measure…

We’re killing all the right people and we’re not running out of bombs!

Isn’t this awesome?

Again, I’m not defending any of these people, I just don’t think it’s normal to get this jazzed about it and I am sick and tired of America being placed SECOND or even lower than that by OUR elected officials.

I want this “homosexual war pig” (alllllegedly!) out of office!

Do you agree?
