Why does Mark Levin consider Dolly Parton an iconic American patriot?
You know, folks, Americans rely on credit cards for secure payments and seamless transactions. But consumers stand to lose it all with the Durbin Marshall credit card mandate bill. Big government mandates favor corporate megastores and allow them to choose how your credit card is processed. They might end up using untested payment networks that could jeopardize your data security and rewards. Tell Congress to guard your card, because Americans lose when politicians choose.

Now broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.
The End
Thank you.
Hello America, Mark Levin here, our number, 877-381-3811, 877-381-3811. You know, sometimes a person passes away who we don't personally know, but we feel like we do. You know what I mean? Like a president who we may love, or like Rush Limbaugh, or... Lindsey Graham, something like that. But Dolly Parton's death... First of all, it seems so sudden, doesn't it? Sort of hits me, and I think it hits most of you... In a very personal way. And we're very, very saddened by this. And I think we're saddened by it because... She wasn't a political hack. She had her views, some of which we agree with, some of which we don't, but we knew she was a great patriot, that she loved this country, and she was quintessentially American.
She grew up dirt poor, and look what she made of herself. Not because of government, not because of socialism, not because of anything that's preached to us by Marxists and Islamists and woke right types, but because she wanted to succeed, she had an incredible voice, she wrote beautiful songs, she was always smiling, she was very likable, if not lovable, to so many people. Do you know she was only five feet tall? I hadn't known that. Just a remarkable talent, and she will be remembered. I heard John Rich say she'll be remembered, like Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra. I believe that to be 100% correct. And she also was an excellent actress in some of the films that she did. But when she was interviewed, you know, she was fun to listen to.
Even if she had an opinion you might disagree with, he didn't really care. Because that wasn't her thing. She would answer questions, but she wasn't out there on some kind of a mission or anything like that. And a lot of what she said, most of us did agree with. So I first heard about this when our son Chase texted us and he said... It's very upsetting. Dolly Parton passed away. I said, what? And so apparently she was struggling very hard the last few months. Some people knew more about it than others. Some people were reading tea leaves that she had some issue, but I don't think most people expected her to pass away. At the New York Post here, Dolly Parton opened up about hard times with her health and final interview after canceling appearance.
She detailed hard times with her health days before her passing at 80. The country music icon's final interview released Friday. This past Friday, she opened up to people about dealing with some health issues, quote-unquote, which forced her to cancel an appearance at her Dollywood theme park the previous week. However, she noted, quote, it's not like I haven't been through hard times with my health, unquote. But she was concerned enough or pressured enough that she had, I believe it was her nephew, and it's out there and I've posted on it, put together a video basically saying goodbye to everybody. You know. She specifically referenced being down for several months with female issues in the early 1980s.
She added that her most recent health struggle stemmed from not paying attention while watching over her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, before his death. She was incredibly close to her husband. He passed away, I guess, about a year ago. And I think that had an enormous impact on her health, too.
