On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, Even in their reporting, the New York Times reports that President Trump has paid more than $24 million in taxes through the alternative minimum tax, not just $750. Joe Biden benefitted from tax laws that he passed in the senate to avoid payroll taxes like the Medicare tax. Joe Biden is more concerned with the President’s taxes than he is with your taxes. Biden will raise your taxes if he wins in November. Later, newly declassified information provided to Senate Judiciary Chair Lindsey Graham indicates that in late July of 2016 US intelligence agencies obtained information that then-candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign was planning to embroil the campaign of then-candidate Donald Trump in a scandal with Russia. This information was presented to then-President Obama by CIA Director John Brennan. It was also revealed that the FBI knew back then that this unverified information was prepared by a former Russian spy. Finally, Dr Rich McCormick calls in to discuss his campaign for Georgia’s 7th Congressional district.

Rough transcript of Hour 1

Hour 1 Segment 1

Hello, America. Mark Levin, it is debate night immediately following the live broadcast of this program. The debate will begin, so stick with us. As we discuss that and so much more that’s going on. So much more. I mean, it it’s unbelievable. Look, I’m not going to dumb down this show the way the media have done down so much to what do you think this one I’ll say, what do you think that one will say? What is the point of that? We’re going to hear the debates. For the debating in three hours. In three hours. And we’ll all be watching it and I’ll comment on tomorrow. I want to just give you a word of caution that after the debate I would shut the television. Because you can have all kinds of people on positioning themselves and, you know, the media hate the president, so they’ve already. In so many respects, written their stories and it just fill in the blank time for them. Not only do the media hate the president, the media have been trying to throw issues out there for Chris Wallace to use in the leadup to the debate led by The New York Times, of course. Now, if you want to talk about that, but I’m not against talking about the debate. So Mr. Call Screener, if people want to talk about the debate, give their opinions by all means. We want to invite you in. But one of the things that is likely to come up, the president’s taxes. And I was in the car this morning and I heard my buddy Chris Plant on WMD. I couldn’t hear the whole thing by heard to mention. Paragraph 78, 79 or 80 of The New York Times hitjob on Sunday about the president’s taxes. So I went looked at those paragraphs. And son of a gun, he hit on something. Often does. I want to read something to you, because this tax issue now has been going on for at least48 hours. The Democrats have been running ads and it’s been in two and a half news cycles, which of course, is the point of the New York Slimes hit job. But I want you to listen to this. This was deep way, deep into the long. War and Peace article that The New York Times had written based on stolen documents and by the way, those documents they would not release to the president’s lawyer to comment on. And now you’re going to find out why. I want to quote. From the story deep into the story, two sentences. Quote, ready? Mr. Trump was periodically required to pay a parallel income tax called the alternative minimum tax. Created as a trip wire to prevent wealthy people from using huge deductions, including business losses, to entirely wipe out their tax liabilities. Mr. Trump paid alternative minimum tax in seven years between two. In 2017. A total of twenty four million three hundred thousand dollars excluding refunds he received after filing now. Many of you who file tax returns like me. Your file, your pay, your taxes and you’ll seek a refund because you’ve ever paid your taxes or what a. Twenty four point three million dollars paid by the president under the alternative minimum tax in seven years between 2000 and 2017. All you’ve been hearing is about seven hundred and fifty dollars. Regurgitated all over cable TV. By one moron after another. For 2015, they say he paid six hundred forty one thousand nine hundred thirty one. His first payment of any federal income tax since 2010. Now that’s a throwaway line. It’s of no consequence whatsoever. The fact is. For a seven year period. He paid the alternative minimum tax. Twenty four point three million dollars. So why did The New York Times stick this way, way, way at the bottom of their article? And you can see that these so-called news people didn’t even read to the end of the article. Even though it was a hit job, even though was very, very long. They didn’t have the attention span to get to the bottom because they had their headline. Seven hundred and fifty dollars. So when the president said this is fake news, I’ve paid millions of dollars in taxes. You know, we need to see these so-called documents that were stolen and that The New York Times obtained. But he’s right. He’s paid millions of dollars in taxes. No, I hope if this issue comes up that Chris Wallace will have had access to this information, will have actually read this article. And be prepared. To raise it because you know full well Joe Biden’s gonna raise it. Again, Mr. Trump, I quote, paid alternative minimum tax in seven years between 2000 and 2017, a total of twenty four point three million dollars excluding refund he received after filing. Not seven hundred and fifty dollars, which is how they led their hitjob on the president, the United States, this is the problem with tax returns, even for long time friends. When you are a multibillionaire and you have multiple properties becomes complex. Now, Nancy Pelosi, who will not release her taxes despite the fact she is number two in line for the presidency. She said the president, United States as a national security risk because he has four hundred million dollars owing next year. First of all, four hundred million dollars owing next year. Let me ask you a question. He’s got scores of properties. Obviously, he can sell one of them if he wants to or some of them. Or he can delay the dad, he can. He could spread out the debt, and that’s assuming she’s right. But remember, the Democrats wanted his tax returns to see what business he was doing with the Russians. He wasn’t doing any business with the Russians. Zero didn’t get one plug nickel from the Russian. Nothing. And yet they are hammering this away to show you see the working men and women of the country that Donald Trump’s not one of them. Scranton, Pa., Joe versus Park Avenue, New York. And yet we know, as a matter of fact, that Joe Biden and Joe Biden set up an S corporation exploited. The S corporation process to avoid paying over half a million dollars. Towards Social Security and Medicare. He goes on and on about Social Security and Medicare. So. Over 13 million dollars they earned from book royalties and speaking fees. They set up an S corporation. Not one penny towards Social Security, Medicare. Let’s hope Chris Wallace has that information to. My problem here, ladies and gentlemen, is that Joe Biden is more obsessed. With the president’s tax returns, then your tax returns. He lies about this, he’s going to massively increase taxes on you. While he claims he’s own on our I’m only going to read Raisin on the top one tenth of one percent people who earn over four hundred thousand dollars a year, the same. Who avoided Social Security and Medicare deductions? Now I want you to think about that. Joe Biden wrote the tax laws, voted for the tax laws, wrote the tax laws, voted for the tax laws from which he benefited. President Trump didn’t write the tax laws or vote on the tax laws. He and his accounts took him as they are. So he’s who is the sleazeball here? And as I said the other day. In the course of his of his business career, the present United States. Has employed thousands and thousands, tens of thousands of hard working class people, union and non-union women and men. All walks of life. All creeds, all ethnicities, all races. Paying them solid wages. And giving them benefits for a hard day’s work. Joe Biden talks about it. He’s never done a damn thing about it. Nothing. So The New York Times hit. Really should have backfired. And he’s in even as I speak to you, too. Even though I posted this information on my social site. The fact of the matter is. The Democrats keep talking about seven hundred and fifty dollars, not twenty four point three million dollars. I’m doing the fact checking, you see. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 2

The New York Times said that the president didn’t pay any taxes, pay no income tax for seven years from 2010 to 2017. The EMT is called the Alternative Minimum Tax. The sleight of hand here is unconscionable. Unconscionable. They say he paid no income tax for seven years, but he paid the alternative minimum tax for seven years, an average of three and a half million under the alternative minimum tax for each year of the seven years. And as they point out at the excellent site, The Daily Howler. The New York Times emphasizes this, but this is a distinction without a difference. This is what the president said, this is all fake. I paid millions of dollars in federal income taxes. Oh, no, you did. You didn’t pay federal income taxes and then only seven hundred and fifty dollars. No. He paid tens of millions in federal taxes. The alternative minimum tax. Tax. It’s an alternative form of the income tax. And to hear Joe and Mika, as they point out at the daily, how literally illiterate. People who make seven or eight figures themselves. To keep spewing these lies about the president’s tax, when you dig deeply into The New York Times piece itself, what the news media will not do. You find out that the president of the United States spent almost paid almost twenty five million dollars. In the alternative minimum tax, it’s an alternative to the federal income tax. And I guarantee you that many of the reporters reporting on this have had to do exactly the same thing. You have Joe Scarborough, who says 10 out of 15years. Trump paid zero percent in taxes. That’s a flat out lie. Flat out lie. He’s not even counting the millions he paid in the alternative tax. So all day long. All day long. These illiterate buffoons. All day long yesterday, these illiterate buffoons going on. And then you have these these clowns, these former federal prosecutors on CNN and MSNBC. You know what? Trump leaves office. I bet he’s indicted for tax fraud. For what? So the president, just so you understand, paid millions and millions of dollars. The alternative minimum tax. That’s the alternative to the federal income tax. It’s semantics. That’s all it is. It’s semantics, and let us hope Chris Wallace understands exactly what’s going on here so he can set it straight. Because the Democrats have been running ads that are just lies and, you know, it’s amazing. Joe Biden helped write the Internal Revenue Code. He voted for it. He knows about the alternative minimum tax, or at least he should. He knows about this one, corporations. When he and Dr. Jill chose not to pay Social Security taxes. When he and Dr. Jill chose not to pay Medicare taxes. By setting up an S one corporation. Nobody talks about this. Nobody. Now, I am expecting this to come up in the debate. That’s why I am laying this out as plainly as I know how. As plainly as I know how. And yet I want to play for you a media montage. CNN, MSNBC, Dimitri Alcindor, that’s NPR. You’ve got Jeff Daniels actors, you’ve got John Avalon. Joy Reid. Sherrod Brown. Senator John Berman, host. I want you to listen to this. I just laid out the facts for you that the president of the United States has actually paid millions and millions of dollars. Under the alternative minimum tax. All you union members out there, all you blue collar workers out there, all you middleclass folks out there. I want you to understand this. Well, I can’t play it right now, I guess I have to play it after the bottom of the hour. I went too long. But I want you to understand this, that this is a setup job. And I told you about The New York Times, which lied about the slaughter of millions of Ukrainians in 1932 by Stalin, which covered up the Holocaust for years and years as Hitler was wiping out European Jews, which pushes the 1619 project to undermine our own country. This is a diabolical newspaper. And the rest of the media burp up whatever it said. And the Democrats just happened to benefit from it. So no, the president didn’t pay seven hundred and fifty dollars. And no, the president did not pay taxes for years and years. He paid almost 25 million dollars in the alternative minimum tax. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 3

Just remember, folks, what I quoted to you about the alternative minimum tax is in the New York Times piece. It’s hidden in the New York Times piece. That’s how they used to write about the Holocaust when they chose to. So every press person in America has it. Every Democrat activists, activist has it. Every debate moderator, starting with Chris Wallace has it. The question is whether they’ve read it. And the question is whether they’re going to tell the American people the truth about what’s in that article. We’re about to find out. Same with the Bidens. I’ve got massive breaking story also for you coming up here, it is just. I mean, you really have to scratch your head and wonder. How such a corruption. That goes to the core of this republic could have taken place, and it’s once again the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party as an institution hates this country. And this is what people need to understand. This is not a vote. And I explained it last night isn’t a vote about taxes. The president’s freedom binds. This isn’t a vote about one liners and gotcha. This is a vote about the republic. We’re going to keep it or not. That’s what’s on the line. Your freedom. We’re gonna keep it or not. Your hard work and what you’ve gained from your hard work. You’re going to keep it or not. That’s the vote. And let’s hope we don’t do gotcha all night long in the debate with a moderator. You saw how he interviewed the president. He can handle this. That is so the moderator. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha stuff doesn’t get us anywhere. God forbid, if the Democrats win all the branches of government in addition to burning our republic down, you’re going to see massive inflation the way they want to spend. You’re going to see an economy that just is at the brink. You’re going to see a slaughter of jobs. Centralized government will get more and more powerful, government will get bigger and bigger and you know the you know the rest. I’m about to read to you something that is absolutely incredible. In this country for years, having gone through the Russia collusion story now. I’m very proud that it was, I believe, March 4th or 5th of 2017. Sitting behind this microphone. Preparing for my radio show, I started to pull together stories from the wire services from The New York Times, The Washington Post. Then I said, wait a minute, something smells here. And then I went back and did the kind of research that, you know, I do. And I said, wait a minute. It was March 2nd. Mr. Producer reminds me, March 2nd, 2017. I said, wait a second. They’ve been spying on the president of the United States. And then wait a second. The FBI is leaking because this information has to come out of the FBI. Wait a second. They abused the FISA court, all three points based on public information. I just decided something was wrong and I started to take that day’s news and work my way backwards. After I talked about it on the radio program on March 2nd, I was invited on Fox and Friends Sunday, which is one of my favorite shows by one of my buddy’s favorite buddies, Pete Hegseth. And I came on that program. For nearly 15 minutes. Using one piece of public evidence after another, one news story after another, showing the leaks. I laid out as best as I could based on that information. What would become the Russia hoax? My radio show was picked up by Breitbart and my buddy Joel Pollak. This information wound up with the president of the United States, you may recall that Monday I was invited on Sean Hannity’s show and I laid it out again. On Fox. Many, many wonderful patriots followed up. Of course, I came under assault by the same media. The media were participating in this. And I talked about bad cops at the FBI, which became a phrase that others would repeat. I said, why would the Russians back Trump when they got everything they wanted from Hillary Clinton? It never made sense to me. I also said on March 2nd and also on Fox and Friends Sunday and every show thereafter, that Barack Obama had to know about this because the activities clearly were too ubiquitous. It was his government and the unmasking of individuals, which I also talked about. And you know what’s happened since? But now I want to read something to you that was declassified and released this evening, this evening as I was coming on this program and I often post these things on Mark Levin show Facebook and Mark Levin show Twitter earlier. And I want to encourage you to. To friend me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter. Because you’ll get this information before anyone. I want to read to you now. This declassified information that was just provided to the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Lindsey Graham. This is just not another wow. This is. Big time. So the media will mostly ignored. And of course. This comes from the new director, DNI, John Ratcliffe. To Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in response to requests for intelligence, community arts, I see information related to the FBI as CROSSFIRE hurricane investigation. I have declassified the following year. Ready? But in late July 2016. Late July 2016, you may recall the election was November 2016. U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Had a proved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump. By tying him to Putin and the Russians hacking of the Democratic National Committee. The intelligence community does not know the accuracy of this allegation or the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication. But the point is, ladies and gentlemen, our intelligence agencies obtain the information. What the Russian intelligence analysis was saying about Hillary Clinton’s role. Before the general election, July 2016. According to his handwritten notes, bullet to. Former CIA Director Brennan. Subsequently briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the intelligence, including the alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016, of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services, quote unquote. Donald Trump. Was briefed. On Hillary Clinton’s plot. Excuse me. Check that. Obama was briefed on Hillary Clinton’s plot against Donald Trump. According to handwritten notes. In the official records of the U.S. government. Did you hear what I said? Obama knew from day one. Well, at number three. According to his handwritten notes, former CIA Director Brennan subsequently briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the intelligence, including the alleged approval by Hillary Clinton. All right. Already said that bullet number three on September 7, 2016, again, two months before the election. U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to FBI Director James Comey and deputy assistant director of. Counterintelligence, Peter Stzrok regarding, quote, U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan. Concerning U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections as a means of means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server. In addition to this, you’ll recall. The FBI knew that the dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Was prepared by a Russian spy. They knew the dossier was fake. In addition, we know from sworn testimony. To the House Intelligence Committee in secret that every single senior Obama administration official who testified under oath, every single one of them said they were unaware of any Russia collusion with Trump. You see, when their next run the line, they couldn’t line. The significance of this cannot be overstated. We went through this for three years. Actually, almost four years. The president of the United States. His family. The nation. The millions that were spent. We were dragged through this. Where was The New York Times giving aid and comfort? Where was The Washington Post giving aid and comfort? Were all the media? AP, Reuters, CNN, MSNBC giving aid and comfort. They kept talking about the next shoe is going to fall. The next shoe is going to fall. The entire thing and I said it back then, it’s the Democrats who collude with the Russians. That’s their history. That’s their background. Alger Hiss. I could go on and on and on. This is stunning. Absolutely stunning. Ted Kennedy colluded with the Russians, the Soviet Union, against Ronald Reagan. So now it was Hillary Clinton. Obama. The FBI. That DNC. And indirectly, the American media. That were colluding with the Russians. Against the victim, Donald Trump. And they turn the entire scenario on its head where Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians. This is a party that is poisonous, that is cancerous. If they win this election, you’re going to reward. This party. Which actually did work with the Russians. You’re going to reward the Obama Biden administration and Biden in that January 5th meeting. Twenty seventeen, encouraging an investigation against Flynn and the president using the Logan Act as a phony pretext. And the Biden family that’s made millions of dollars off of corrupt deals with foreign individuals in foreign countries. For which Joe Biden has never had to account, the entire families never had to account. And now we’re talking about Donald Trump’s taxes. This is a corrupt. Party. Anyone who votes for Joe Biden and the Obama Biden conduct. You’re going to lose this country. This is a shocking. Revelation released this evening. Where Hillary Clinton was squarely involved in setting up this entire scandal with the assistance of the president of the United States, Barack Obama, with the assistance of the CIA director, as best as I can see, and the assistance of the entire federal bureaucracy. I’ll be right back

Hour 1 Segment 4

So Mueller appointed conducting a criminal investigation, even though there was no no basis for a criminal investigation whatsoever. None. And his people knew it. And yet Weisberg Weisberg says they should have done more. They wanted to catch him in a perjury trap. Even though there was no, no, no evidence of anything, unbelievable. What the whole thing is sickening. Sickening. Just like hair for this debate is gonna be sickening, you watch. All right. Now, here’s the okay. We don’t have time. What I’m trying to say her, ladies and gentlemen, whether it’s the president’s taxes, when you slow down and you really study these things. Or this outrageous attempt to tie him with Vladimir Putin, which is still going on today. All these efforts to take out this president. They’re all lies. They’re all fabrications. These forces that are arrayed against this man are right against you. It is the dug in bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., it is the dung dug in Marxist academic class throughout our universities and colleges. It is the Democrats social activist media that is dug in. They are all arrayed against this president. The question is, will they succeed while they succeed in their corruption and their illegality? Will they succeed in their distortions and their lies and turning this country inside out? That’s up to us. I’ll be right back.
