On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, The response from Republicans should be – of course, the President will accept the peaceful transition of power, which the Democrats refused to do in 2016. But first, we have to make sure there is a transition of power given the institutionalized corruption and vote fixing that is going on in battleground states. Democrats are the ones who are changing election laws in these battleground states. Democrats are telling Joe Biden not to concede on election night if he is losing. Democrats are practicing for scenarios that they will trigger should they lose the election, they have no intention of accepting a Trump victory. Later, Democrats are preparing a bill to limit Supreme Court justice terms to 18 years. This is similar to what Mark proposed in the Liberty Amendments. The constitution will have to be amended to do this, this cannot be done by statute. Then, Sen Lindsey Graham calls in to talk about his Senate race in South Carolina and his thoughts on Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. Finally, Bill O’Reilly joins the show to discuss his new book, Killing Crazy Horse: The Merciless Indian Wars in America and what to look for at the Presidential debates next week.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
Have you noticed? Virtually every single day leading up to the general election, the media create a controversy focused on Donald Trump. Nothing on Joe Biden. A 90 page report comes out on Hunter Biden that he’s a crook, that he’s taken millions and millions from the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, millions from China, millions. A Boris MMA. The media dismiss it. This is old news, not a lot of it actually is not old news. But Biden’s not in the crosshairs. No big deal. Every single day. They try and concoct a controversy. About the president of the United States and then the media. Just press it and press it to the next concocted controversy. Now, let me set the table here. Who is it? That’s changing election laws in the battleground states, as are Republicans. No, it’s the Democrats. The Democrats are doing it by executive fiat where they control the executive branches in these states and they’re also going into courts, state and federal. Cherry picking judges and courts. And getting rulings that are favorable to them. You don’t have to have a signature. Signatures don’t have to match. One state, the ballots can be counted. His latest two weeks after Election Day. If they’re not dated, you still have to accept them on and on and on. This is going on. In Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, North Carolina. And now Minnesota. So none of that is discussed by the media and none of its discussed on cable TV. It’s just not and it’s in play right now. Who is it that’s hired over 600 ambulance chasing lawyers? And did it a month ago. Positioned. In all the battleground states and all the counties to litigate. The Biden campaign. Who is it that’s threatening rioting in the streets if they don’t win the election? Who is it? Those are Biden voters. Who is it that’s trying to crash the system? With mail in votes, knowing full well that many of these states are not going to be able to properly handle this sort of thing, and they haven’t before. That’s the Democrats and the Biden campaign. Who’s gaming the system? Well, they had advisers and never trump his meeting a couple of months ago, playing out every scenario to ensure that Biden would never concede and Trump would never win regardless of the ballots. The Democrats have been doing this. Who announced? That Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances. Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. And so, ladies and gentlemen. When you look about the peaceful transfer of power, is that what happened in 2000? Did Al Gore accept the result in Florida? The peaceful transfer of power sure is held in. He went into court and this is the blueprint that Biden is using. Times a thousand. He cherry picked the most Democrat counties with elected Democrat judges and tried to overturn the results in Florida, remember all that? Sure you do. Bush versus Gore. It’s the Democrats and 2016, when they couldn’t stop Trump by putting spies in his election and a phony dossier and all the rest of it. Who did not accept the peaceful transfer of power in 2016 2017? Not the Republicans, the Democrats. And so now, today, tonight, tomorrow, the next day, I’m sure Chris Wallace I’ll regurgitate this. Ah, you’re not going to accept the peaceful transfer of power. Mr. President. Despite everything I’ve just told you. Everything I’ve just told you. What the president is saying is now wait a minute, we’ve got all this going on that I just described to you. I’ve got to see what takes place. I’ve got to see what takes place. And of course, the Republicans McConnell’s an idiot. He jumps in. There will be an orderly transition. There still hasn’t been an orderly transition from 2016. The guy Rubio in here. My view we’re going to have a free, fair and legitimate election in this country. Boy, is he gone. Rhino Mr. Producer. I guess he’s blind to what’s going on. Course, they go to SAS, unthinkable and unacceptable transition of power. Where the hell is SAS been during this whole Russia collusion and FBI scandal? Nowhere has he defended the president once. No. Romney chimes in, Unthinkable, unacceptable. They don’t even comment on what the Democrats have said and done, really. Quite amazing. Here’s what the president said at a press conference yesterday. First of all, the question. As they try and set him up. Then. They just push and push and push to try and create a narrative. Cut. One go, girl quickly. Well, he’s a doll in this election. Will you commit here today for a peaceful transfer for all power after the election? There has been rioting, a level there’s been rioting in many cities across this country. Bread and your so-called red and blue states. Will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transfer for all of power? Now, let’s just stop there. So already implicit in this question is rioting. Who is threatening to riot? Ladies and gentlemen, members of the National Rifle Association. Members of any of the pro-life groups. Conservative organization. Not one of them. It’s Black Lives Matter. And Antifa and Democrats. They’re the ones who keep threatening. Go ahead. Going to have to see what happens. You know that I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are disaster and people are rioting. Do you commit to making sure that there’s some worry for all of see. People are writing. Don’t you understand, Mr. President? I have to give up no matter what. You have to lose. We in the media, we Democrats, we have all kinds of traps set for ya. In one battleground state or another. With the mail in voting, with the absentee ballots, with a late counting of ballots without signatures, even without postmarks. Without saying it is matching. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, wait, we’re gonna do harvesting in some of these states now. So you can’t win. Don’t you understand, Mr. President, it’s impossible for you to win. We’ve got it all set now. So do you commit here today that you will surrender? Go ahead, get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a very transfer, whoever very peaceful, there won’t be a transfer. Frankly, there’ll be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. You know it. And no one knows it better than anybody else. The Democrats know it better than anybody else. And so remember how all this started, like back in April when Nancy Pelosi just decided we’re gonna push mail in ballots, we’re gonna make it part of the relief package. Remember that most readers are all of a sudden out of left field. Everybody, what the hell is she talking about? Well, she took the virus, tried to push what the Democrats have wanted state by state, and then to oppose it nationally and every single state, states that are not even prepared for this. She would wipeout all the state laws, all the state requirements, all the state deadlines, all the state protections from mail in voting. And this is what they’ve been pushing. And now they are pushing it with lawsuits. The Democrat Party in Washington, D.C. and in the States, you’re not aware of this. They’re bringing lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. To undo the protections that are in place. To force counting well after Election Day. That is exactly what they’re doing. And then they go to the pit, will you accept a peaceful transfer of power? Unbelievable. And then we get this headline from the Associated Press, which has really been bad, bad, bad, bad. Trump won’t commit to peaceful transfer of power if he loses. Trump on Wednesday again declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses, then in November 3 presidential election. So the media are now fueling the flames for riots and violence beyond what you’ve seen after the election. The media during the Associated Press is doing it. They’re all doing. Because the narrative has been set. If Trump is winning on election night. If he’s winning an election, he cannot declare himself the victor because we have all these mail in ballots that count for weeks. Litigation galore on signatures. No signatures, same signatures. It’s gonna make hanging chads look like a joke. The Democrats are specifically intentionally creating this scenario. But if they count for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and then they declare, hey, the Democrats won in Pennsylvania, how the hell did that happen? Look, all the votes they found in and crooked Philadelphia. And Trump doesn’t accept that. Then you say he’s a dictator, so he’s a dictator either way. That’s the narrative I keep telling you this. And I know I’m right. That is the narrative. Will you accept a peaceful transfer of power? They say to the president, the United States. Why did they go to Joe Biden and say, why do you have 600 lawyers ready to litigate? Why have you pushed for mail in voting in states that, you know, can’t handle it that are not set up for? Why are you and your party going into state and federal court? To water down protections to ensure that there isn’t fraud. And to extend deadlines, why are you doing that? Who is it that’s trying to change? Listen to me. Who is it that’s trying to change state election laws? One state after another. Forty days before the general election. Who is it that’s trying to change existing law? Passed by state legislatures in these battleground states. At the eleventh hour. And why are they doing it? It’s a setup. The whole thing’s a setup. So when you hear McConnell and Rubio and Sasse and Romney, you’re about to throw up on your shoes. Of course, we’re going to accept the peaceful transition of power. The response should be. Of course, we will accept that peaceful transition of power which the Democrats refuse to do in 2016. But first, we have to make sure there is a transition of power given the institutionalized corruption and vote fixing that’s going on in these states. Are you aware of this McConnell Sass, Romney, Rubio? Do you have any idea what’s taking place in at least five battleground states right now? Are you paying attention? I think a lot of these guys want Trump to lose. I really do. Some of these guys are salivating for 2024, they want to run for president. And they would rather run if Trump crashes and burns. The Democrats are in for four years destroying our country, and then they. And run against the Democrats saying, look, they destroyed our country. In the meantime, you and I have to live with the results. You and I have to live with the results. So I think a lot of these guys are going to what the hell is going on? Are positioning themselves for 2024. And they just assume run against the record of the Democrats. Then run in 2024after eight years of Trump. I really believe this. Because if you have an IQ over four and you can see straight, you see exactly what the Democrats are doing right now. State after state after state. And if you don’t, all you have to do is listen to the show. I’m making it obvious what they’re doing. I’m looking at what they’re doing at the lawsuits and so forth. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
Just remember the media participate in these plots. The media was very much involved in trying to undermine the Trump campaign and then was opposed to and fought the peaceful transition of power, the media. And then they tried to remove Trump by hook or by crook. So it’s the same media day in and day out tries to create a controversy that Trump said things about the military. Trump said things about the virus. Trump said things about the election. Meanwhile, Joe Biden hangs out like a homeless guy. And that’s about it. You wouldn’t know that there’s two candidates running in this race. You wouldn’t know that the Democrat Party. Has raised enormous amounts of money from billionaires, mostly for the purpose of buying off votes. Overwhelming states, changing election laws and preparing for riots. That’s the Democrat Party. Here’s Hillary Clinton on Showtime’s The Circus just a few weeks ago, cut Fargo. We have to have our own teams of people to counter the force of intimidation that the Republicans and Trump are going to put outside polling places. This is a big organizational challenge, but at least we know more about what they’re going to do. And, you know, Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out. And eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch. There you go. Joe Biden denounced this. He was asked to go. Joe Biden offered it, announces no. And yet they asked Trump. Let’s hope Chris Wallace is paying attention, serious attention to what’s going on here. I can deal with this, honestly. I think he can. If he focuses right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
I want to be very blunt about something. The Democrat Party is turning this country on its head, whether it’s elections. What’s the Supreme Court? There are pundits and their newsrooms. They’re athletes. And their sports owners. Their networks have been promoting writing. They deny it, but that’s exactly what they’re doing. They’re promoting writing. They’re promoting violence, and then they’ll gently say. But of course, we oppose writing and violence and so forth. And that’s what they have Biden doing. But they’re counting on it. They’re trying to intimidate us. They call this a historic moment. It’s not a historic moment. It’s an outrageous moment. An outrageous moment. I want to remind you. There was a piece in The New York Times by Ben Smith. Not that long ago, a column and a column. As it was summarized. In Bright Bart some time ago. About a month and a half ago by Joel Pollack, Democrats war, game for election includes West Coast secession, possible civil war. This is something Chris Wallace should have in front of them, the New York Times piece. The bogus Miss column is devoted to the question of how the media will handle election night coverage, given the result may not be known for weeks vote by mail, which many states have only recently adopted a sensibly to prevent the spread of the Corona virus in the polling place, which are ridiculous to go by bragging, go vote could lead to an uncertain result. However, buried near the end of Smith’s column is a report that Democrats have participated in a quote unquote war game in which they considered several possible outcomes of the election. And one scenario. John Podesta, the former chair of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and a leading figure in party circles, played former Vice President Joe Biden and refused to concede the election. The result? The threat of secession by the entire West Coast, followed by the possible intervention of the U.S. armed forces. Quoting from the article, quote, But conveniently, a group of former top government officials called the Transition Integrity Project. And by the way, we now know that is a left wing front group. With Obama people involved and funded by the left actually game for possible scenarios, including one that doesn’t look that different from 2016. A big popular vote win for Biden and a narrow electoral defeat presumably reached after weeks of counting the votes in Pennsylvania wasn’t a narrow electoral defeat. Trump had a very sizable Electoral College win. And they ran up the popular vote in California. For the war game, they cast John Podesta, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman in the role of Mr. Biden. They expected him when the votes came in to concede. Just as Mrs. Clinton had. But Mr. Podesta, playing Mr. Biden shocked the organizers by saying he felt his party wouldn’t let him concede, alleging voter suppression. He persuaded the governors of Wisconsin and Michigan to send pro Biden electors to the Electoral College. Governors can’t do that. It’s up to the legislatures. In that scenario, California, Oregon, Washington then threatened to secede from the United States if Mr. Trump took office as planned. The House named Mr. Biden president, the Senate and White House. Stuck with Mr Trump at that point in this scenario, the nation stopped looking in the media for cues, waiting to see what the military would do. Ladies and gentlemen of the press. Chris Wallace, you’re the moderator on Tuesday. This is what the Democrats have been gaming. Since July. This is what they’ve been gaming since July. So the idea that yesterday and today the question will be whether or not Donald Trump. Would accept the peaceful transition of power. Is a grotesque diversion. When the Democrats are practicing. Practicing. Four scenarios that they will possibly trigger should they lose the election. There in the states changing election laws with litigation and through executive orders. One party is doing this. They’re threatening violence in the streets. Their surrogates in Hollywood, their surrogates and professional sport, even some of them, they’re threatening violence in the streets. AOC and others. You’re not hearing Republicans talk like this. Republicans didn’t start going into our courts to try and change the election laws to help or accommodate the Republicans or the president. They’re trying to defend the status quo. The laws that have been passed. The media. Are contributing mightily to the destruction. Of our institutions, including themselves. But the destruction of our institutions, including election night. So each day it’s something up. Did you hear Trump said that the Marines who fought were won in front? They’re losers and suckers. Twenty seven people come forward named say, no, he didn’t. Then there on the Bob Woodward book. He lied to the American people about the seriousness of the virus. Then we’re on to election. Trump won’t agree to peacefully transition out of office. Should should Biden win? What’s next? What’s next? And of course, they ignore. Completely and utterly, the information that comes out about a hundred Biden and Joe Biden and Joe Biden sits says, look, I didn’t know anything. So his rope a dope, the defense now your son’s making millions of millions of dollars. Millions of millions of dollars. From foreign governments, foreign entities, foreigners who were in high position in the past. And his father doesn’t know anything, doesn’t he? A hundred, how do you get that house, would you get that car from? Meanwhile, he’s on Air Force Two with his father when he goes to China, not once, but several times. Anybody buying this and yet the media dismiss it. No big deal. No big deal at all. We’ve got anonymous sources at the Atlanta going after Trump, we got the usual hack. What we’re going after Trump. Now we’re going after Trump. He will not peaceably accept the transition of power that Democrats are plotting to steal the election. And they dare to lie to the American people about what’s going on in this country. Like an organized group, the media and the Democrats. Mimic each other. Replete each other’s statements. And so the media have concocted a phony issue here. And then the Democrats repeat it. They’re all out there, repeat, and then the media report what the Democrats say. So they get a couple of news cycles out of this. A couple of news cycles out of. Let’s pretend I’m the moderator. You know Vice President Biden. John Podesta is a Democrat, a very. Seriously embrace Democrats, Democratic worked for Hillary Clinton’s campaign, you worked for Bill Clinton. He’s involved in your campaign. And he put together a group a couple of months ago and they were plotting and planning on. Wargames, they call it. On how to ensure that you would be president of the United States regardless of the outcome of the election. What do you know about that? And. When it came out publicly, it’s been pulled. Why didn’t you condemn it? Why are you and your party in courts throughout the battleground states trying to change the election laws, extending the voting period, eliminating signature requirements or postmark requirements or the comparisons of signature pushing out ballot dates all really at the 11th hour in key states? Why are you involved in that? If you say you care about the outcome and the integrity, the election process? Why do you have600 lawyers on hand? To litigate if you’re prepared to accept the outcome of the election. This is all public information, ladies and gentlemen, and I’m contending if it’s not used, that it’s not used intentionally. Mr. President, you’ve said many times that you may not accept the peaceful transition of power. What do you mean by that? Why wouldn’t you? The answer should be. It’s not a matter of accepting the peaceful transition of power in2016. You in the media. And the Democrats refuse to accept the peaceful transition of power. We need to make sure that the American people. That their franchise has not been tampered with. We need to make sure that what took place in these states. At the 11th hour with a changing of voting requirements. By litigation from Democrats and the Biden campaign didn’t undermine the outcome of these states. And so this may take a little bit of time, not because of anything we’re doing in the Republican Party, not because of anything I’m doing. I want to ensure that this election is an election of integrity, that every vote counts. That’s supposed to count. I didn’t create this anarchy. The Democrats that. And so once we’re satisfied, I’m satisfied the nation is satisfied, of course, I will accept the peaceful transition of power. Unlike the Democrats in 2016, unlike the media in 2016. I’ll be right back in.
Hour 1 Segment 4
Let me ask you a simple question. A political party that talks about destroying the same Supreme Court, packing it if it doesn’t get its way. That talks about destroying the Senate, packing it with Democrats. So you have one party rule for generations if it doesn’t get its way. Talks about eliminating the filibuster rule that’s been in place literally for a couple hundred years in order to ram through legislation if it doesn’t get its way. Talks wildly about impeaching this guy or that guy, if it doesn’t get its way for months, encouraged the violence, the looting and the arson in the streets through their mayors. If it doesn’t get its way. Strongly supported, if not contributed, to bail for violent rioters, including those who assaulted police. If it doesn’t get its way. You think they’re going to follow the rules when it comes to the election, ladies and gentlemen. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and the Republican Party have filed the rules. They have called for law and order. This is how the left through their propagandist and the media twist and turn. And pull things inside and out. The Law and order party, the law and order president. Who follows the rules, who follows the rules? He is being accused. Being a dictator in advance. In advance. The Democrat Party is a diabolical and evil force in this country, and it has been. For a long, long time. A long, long time. Including now. Now, you might be seen as a man. This is all depressing. How the hell are we going to win? Then we see this Fox poll that has Trump behind in Pennsylvania. And he’s behind it and I don’t know. They have three seats way behind, and then I told you about a Washington Post poll yesterday that said Trump is ahead in Pennsylvania. He’s ahead in Arizona. And one other state I can’t remember. I don’t know what the outcome of this election is going to be, I am asked by everybody, it’s quite annoying, actually. Friend, foe, neighbor. So, Mark, what do you think the outcome is going to be? What does it matter? What I think the outcome is going to be like if I say we’re going to win. That means we’re going to win. My answer is always the same thing. Fight. Fight. Make sure family members are registered if they’re going to vote for Trump. If people want to mail in vote, make sure they get the mail in ballots. If they want to absentee vote, make sure they get the absentee ballot. Sit at your desk, sit on your bed, get on your phone, call your family members, call your friends. Call your acquaintances. You can make a difference in this election. God, you really can. You’ve gotta listen to me. There are tens of millions of us. They’re not expecting you to do these things. Well, they ride in the streets. And burn stuff down. We need to organize. You can do this. I know you can do this. We’ve done it before with the Reagan revolution. We’ve done it before with the Tea Party movement. We’ve done it before in 2016 with the Trump Revolution. We need to do it again. But we need to do it much more resolute, early and aggressively and broadly. You can’t do this. You can tell the Democrat Party and these judges and the media to screw off. Mark, what can I do? What can I do? What can I never get that I get? Mark, what can we do? The issue is what can I do? What can you do? I’m telling you what to do. I’m not asking you to go overseas, leave your family and your jobs and fight a war. I’m not asking you to do what the left does, go into our cities and burn them down. I’m asking you to be a peaceful. Patriotic citizen. Who takes what we have? That damn iPhone. Or whatever device you use. Or an e-mail or a text or whatever you want. And make sure people are voting.
