Much has been made about car manufacturers removing AM radios from upcoming electric vehicle models. Some automakers are even removing AM radios from gasoline-powered cars, and conservative radio host Mark Levin believes the decisions are a way to attack conservative voices.
During The Mark Levin Show, the radio host claimed that “The automobile is essential to liberty”. He also added that cars are “crucial to freedom” and that “control of the automobile is about the control of your freedom”.
“They finally figured out how to attack conservative talk radio,” Levin said as he argued that automakers are the latest in a long line of industries looking to eliminate conservative voices. He specifically pointed to decisions made by Ford and BMW to remove the AM band from vehicles.
“Let me be the first one to say it right at the manufacturer level, rather than going after us through the FCC, rather than going after us through legislation, rather than going after us through boycotting advertisers and all the rest – just don’t make AM stations available in automobiles anymore, because not all, but most conservative talk shows are on the AM band.”
Levin continued by saying there will be skeptics of his viewpoint, but he claimed he is ahead of the game.
“‘Oh, no, no, Mark. You can’t prove that.’ I don’t have to prove anything,” Levin said. “I’ve been around long enough. I figured things out. We’re way ahead of the curb here. That’s exactly what they’ve done. That’s exactly what they’re doing.”
