On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, We don’t know if the polls being released every day are accurate, but we do know that the race is tightening and that is because of you Levinites. Then, why doesn’t anyone ask Joe Biden why he’s dodging Obamacare taxes? The Federalists’ Christopher Jacobs digs deeper. Contrary to The Federalist, the New York Times is a soviet-type media. If we only had an honest press, this country would be so much better off. Next, Kristen Welker is not fit to moderate Thursday’s presidential debate, as she is clearly in Joe Biden’s corner. Also, Biden has an extensive history of racially charged conduct and comments, even having past ties with known segregationists. Lying to the American people has always come easy to Joe Biden, and he continues to do so regarding the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal. Afterward, Senator Thom Tillis joins the program to discuss his Senate race in North Carolina. Finally, Nick Freitas calls in to discuss his Congressional race in Virginia.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
I don’t know what to make of these polls. But there’s a polling group that literally just came out. It’s called political polls. Polling numbers. And it’s looking at Michigan. And so it does these state polls. It’s a brand new Michigan poll. I don’t know all the data behind it. It has Trump at 48 percent, Biden at 45 percent, the Libertarian at 2 percent. They looked at likely voters. Now, I know we all want to grab onto that thing. I don’t know if it’s accurate or not. I feel it’s right, but I don’t know. So we got to keep voting. Heavy duty. There was a poll that came out earlier today in Wisconsin, had Trump up by 1. Who knows? But it is tightening and it’s tightening because of you. 50 million people will vote by tomorrow night. That’s only one third of the total electorate. A lot of people. But there could be 150 million people who vote in total. And so many of you have not voted. It’s very important, particularly you can go in person. That you do so I remember our role here. Right. Remember what we’re trying to do. We’ve been doing this for six weeks now, six weeks every day. You’re the Thomas Paine’s. You can repeat it yourself. You’re the Paul Reveres. It’s very, very important that not only you vote when your spouse vote, so forth, that you. That you help get five to 10 other people to vote. It’s very, very important. And then we will crush them. It won’t matter what they do on Election Day. Very, very important. I have a couple of things I want to talk about. We will have the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence, on Sunday’s Life, Liberty and Levin, scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern. I look at the presidents doing a rally, though they may or may not take the rally, and then we’re pushed to 10 p.m. And you did follow us this past Sunday when a huge audience. Over two and a half million people, that’s very big Sunday night. They never had these numbers before. Over there at our. Our Fox Channel. But we’ll have the vice president the entire hour, it’s going to be absolutely fabulous. As he makes the closing case for the campaign in the final show that I do. It’s gonna be a special. The weekend after next. It’s going to be airing on Saturday because on Sunday they’re going to have the usual Monday crew on Sunday, which is what they do before every presidential election, I’m told. But it’s going to be a very extraordinary and special edition, the last edition before the election. Very important, I have a question I ask you and I want to underscore this point. Why? Is there not enough discussion about Joe Biden’s taxes? Now, I know he didn’t earn anything close to it. Donald Trump earned an all the rest of a why hasn’t there been a discussion about Joe Biden’s taxes? Christopher Jacobs has written about this and I’ve told you about this before in The Wall Street Journal. He wrote about it in The Federalist a couple of days back. It was ignored by the moderator in the first debate. There will likely be ignored by the moderator in this debate, but it must not be ignored. And as matter of fact, if Joe Biden again brings up the president’s taxes and says he only paid seven hundred and fifty dollars in federal income taxes. And I want to remind you folks. I want to remind you folks. That he paid the alternative minimum tax. Tens of millions of dollars, I think it was 24 million dollars, so they never say them. How much did you pay in federal taxes? They always say, how much did you pay in the federal income tax? There are years when I’ve had to pay the federal. Minimum taxes. Years, other people had to do the same thing. That’s the law. There’s nothing wrong with it’s just the way it is. So it’s very sleazy what they’re doing. But here’s what I’m hoping. That the president says, you know what, Joe, I’m glad you brought up taxes. Now I want to talk about your taxes. Here’s what it says. Since the vice president left government service in early 2017, the Bidens funneled their income from book royalties and speaking fees almost 15 million dollars through to corporations sell to Capri Corporation and Gee Copper Corp., they paid themselves modest salaries through the corporations on which they paid full Social Security and Medicare taxes. The Bidens took most of this book and speech income over thirteen point five million. It’s quite a lunch bucket, Joe. Not as wages, but as profits from the two corporations. So in other words, they set up what’s called an S corporation. Now, why did they do that? Taking that income, a corporate pop profits ready, allow them to avoid payroll taxes on the thirteen point five million. So not taking it as personal income, but setting up these corporations. And then treating it as profits. Significantly reduce their payroll taxes on thirteen point five million because Social Security tax is only applied to the first hundred thirty two thousand nine hundred of income. The Bidens didn’t avoid paying the taxes that fund that program, but the two point nine percent Medicare tax that applies to all income. And the point nine percent high income tax credit of the Obamacare bill applies to all wages and income over two hundred thousand dollars. For an individual to hunt two hundred thousand for a family over 250000. So taking their income as corporate profits rather than personal income allow the buyers to avoid paying. This combined three point eight percent payroll tax on more than thirteen point five million in income they received from 2017 and 2019. That’s a lot of money. That’s almost four hundred thousand dollars. And it says here in 2017. Let’s save them three hundred eighty one thousand eight hundred and fifty two dollars, and in 2018 it save them one hundred twenty two thousand nine hundred ninety seven dollars. So in other words, half a million dollars. The total for three years was five hundred thirteen thousand five hundred and forty dollars. That’s a staggering amount. That the Bidens did not pay in Medicare taxes and Obamacare taxes. Five hundred and thirteen thousand five hundred and forty thousand dollars if they had paid as individuals. Over half a million dollars would have been paid into these programs that need the money. These programs that need the money. I mean, if you’re going to create Obamacare as vice president, the United States, if you’re going to defend it, if you say it only covers pre-existing conditions in the case of the Supreme Court, knocking it out. Well, you got to help fund it. Right, ladies and gentlemen. And if you say you support Medicare and you say you’re going to actually reduce the age from 65 to 60, which, by the way, will kill Medicare. But OK, but that’s what he says he wants to do. Yet he avoided paying over half a million dollars over three years in the Medicare and Obamacare. Now, why isn’t this on the Fox News Channel, why isn’t this on CNN News, why is it this on MSNBC News? You see, I’m not attacking Fox per say. I’m saying all these newsrooms and news departments ought to be talking about it. Why is it Media Matters reporting this or media reporting this? Forget the Drudge Report. He’s in the tank. And so Jacobs goes on, even as he released another set of tax returns showing his continued willingness to circumvent Obamacare taxes. The Biden campaign continues to run ads in which Biden claims Obamacare is, quote, personal to me, unquote. Democrats want to run on the law this fall, believing that fears over the Obamacare lawsuit pending at the Supreme Court will motivate their voters. But how personal can Obamacare be to the Bidens if they went out of their way to avoid paying Obamacare taxes? Likewise, the Democrats attempting to subpoena Trump’s tax returns should answer a simple question if they want those returns for nonpartisan oversight purposes, why haven’t they called for an IRS audit of Biden’s taxes, particularly in 2017? Biden paid himself a paltry salary. Compared to the 10 million dollars in corporate profits, he received an arrangement that might well violate IRS compensation guidelines. Why? Because, again, on that salary, he has to make those payroll tax payments. So if he minimizes his salary, he treats most of it as profit. He avoids paying most of Obamacare. And a Medicare. The deafening silence from the liberal media, notwithstanding the real questions about Biden’s taxes, won’t go away, nor should they. The American people have a right to know from middle class Joe himself why he put his own financial interests over a law he supposedly personally cares about so much. This is Christopher Jacobs in the Federalist.com, September 30. So let me cut through it, make it really simple so even Joe Scarborough can understand. For nearly three years. The Bidens set up two companies. To wash through their income. Rather than treating it as. Individual income. They did that for one reason and one reason only to avoid paying over half a million dollars in Medicare and Obamacare payroll taxes. Now, do you want to know why most of the people, the media won’t criticize this Mr. Producer? Because many of them are doing exactly the same thing. Exactly the same thing. The wealthier they are, the more they’re doing it. So they should be asked if they’re doing. Now that I’ve brought this up with a moderator from NBC News, whatever the hell, her name is Weaker Werner, whatever. I just gave her some information that’s not been used yet at a national level. And the question goes like this, Madam Moderator. Mr. Vice President, former Vice President Joe Biden, you talk about the president’s taxes. Let me talk about yours for a moment. Very brief question. You set up to corporations as corporations in order to pay yourselves modest salaries, but to treat income you earned from speeches and books of almost 15 million dollars. Has profits. And you did that for one reason and one reason only to avoid paying over half a million dollars in Medicare and Obamacare taxes. You say these two programs mean a great deal to you. You say you want to expand Medicare. You say you want to defend Obamacare from the Supreme Court. And yet you didn’t pay. Your fair amount and in some cases any amount. To help support these programs, can you explain yourself, please? But that take 30 seconds. Mr. Minister. So what’s going to happen? Will he be asked about it, ladies and gentlemen? I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
Man, if we only had an honest press, imagine. Country be so much better off, so much better. Well, The New York Times piece, this is how The New York Times works, so they plant this piece Wednesday, hoping it’ll come up Thursday during the debates is what they do. It’s like the Bob Woodward book and so forth. You need to understand what The New York Times is. The New York Times is a Soviet type. Media Corp. It supports the Democrats, it supports the bureaucracy. It supports the progressive a.k.a. the Marxist movement in this country. That’s what it is. As such as of the hard left and so it’s highly bigoted and highly anti-Semitic. New York Times headline. Trump records shed new light on Chinese business pursuits to stupid article talks about his interest in China. Taxes he paid in China. I mean, a lot of major corporations are doing this and have done this, Bloomberg. I go on and on and on. Feinstein, Nothing nefarious. Nothing wrong. Nothing even big. Nothing even major, but as a long article, you know, top of the line article, you really gotta look at, my God. Unbelievable. He paid over one hundred thousand dollars in taxes to the Chinese government. Big deal. No violations of anything. So they put this out there for the Biden campaign because tomorrow night. If Hunter Biden comes up, Joe Biden will have a one liner. Well, what about you? You invested in China, you paid more taxes in China than you did to the United States government. I’ve already explained to you how that’s not the case. I’ve already expressed explain to you that that’s a flat out lie because of the alternative minimum tax with the president paid around 24 million dollars. But it won’t matter. So have this one liner, but who cares? He should dismiss Biden, dismiss The New York Times. And make his case. That Joe Biden does not contribute money to Obamacare and a Medicare. And that’s a big deal for a guy who claims to support them, and not only that, folks, he expects to spend another four trillion dollars an our taxes four trillion dollars in our taxes. Trump’s not looking to spend more of our taxes. He’s looking to cut our taxes. But if you’re a big government leftist like Biden is and has become and you want to spend all this money and massively increase taxes on truck drivers and Uber drivers and taxi drivers, massively increased taxes on electricians and plumbers and roofers, massively increased taxes on cops and firefighters and people who make this country work, then it seems to me you have an obligation to make a payroll tax contribution to lunch bucket. So this has nothing to do with Hunter Biden. The Hunter Biden issue is pay for play that is selling the vice president’s office. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
You know, it shocks me. Even now, we have really a few days before the election and should be making you anxious and concerned. And Joe Biden is studying for his debate, studying since Sunday. Now, let me tell you what they mean by studying. They mean trying to memorize his lines and one liners, trying to trying to figure out how to get under the president’s skin. You know, Joe Biden’s been around a long time and that’s the goal. Not to be substantive and not to give you answers. So in a two minute period of time, you know, to tell as many lies and fibs and spin as much as he possibly can. And he’s going to have a lot of help from this so-called moderate. Who is a complete disaster? In fact, she’s the worst of the bunch. She’s the worst of the bunch. Let’s see here. I just had an article on her. Yeah, I’m posting it now to Kristen Welker is her name activist track record perfectly qualifies her for the anti-Trump Debate Commission writes Tryst in Justice. NBC News White House correspondent Kristen Welker possesses all the signature features of a Beltway reporter, an Ivy League graduate, East Coast native and once registered Democrat. As far as public records show, who was spent nearly a decade living in the District of Columbia covering campaigns in the White House, made Welker 44 the perfect fit for the anti-Trump Commission on Presidential Debates to moderate the third and final match up between Trump and Biden. Welker, however, who’s well established families donated thousands to Democrats, will be on stage Thursday night, has a long track record of antagonistic reporting on the Trump White House, perpetuating the Russia hoax, protecting the president’s political opponents and engaging the kind of democratic friendly D.C. media coverage that has become standard among the self-righteous journalists, which in turn has undermined the credibility of the industry. After all, she scored the endorsement of CNN chief White House troll Jim Acosta. He tweeted, I’ve worked alongside Kristen during two administration. Now she’s the consummate professional, tough but fair. Looking forward to watching her moderate Thursday’s debate. What an idiot. Mr. President, yes or no? Have you or are you now? Have you ever worked for Russia? Yes or no? Welker demanded during a January 20 19th sparring match with the president. Just a shoot a short two months later. Special Counsel Mueller would release his report, concluding a more than two year investigation that found that conspiracy theories accusing Trump of operating as a Kremlin agent were just that conspiracies and nothing more. In 2018, Walker also charged the president with giving Russian President Vladimir Putin the, quote, upper hand, unquote. During an overseas trip to Europe, where Trump challenged nations in NATO to pay their fair share on the same trip, Walker accused the president of being, quote, hand in hand, unquote, with Putin. When it comes to the far left four member squad in the House of Representatives, including A.R. Omar Talib Pressley, who are either self-proclaimed socialist or endorsed a socialist candidate, Welker has gone out of her way to downplay their extremism, calling them self-proclaimed progressives. They’re not socialists, Welker said ahead of a 2019 Trump campaign event in North Carolina. They’re not socialists. Oh, yes, they are. In fact, they’re Marxists. And by the way, they’re anti Semite. Welker should come as no surprise then that Welker joined her colleagues in the mainstream media to endlessly characterize California Senator Kamala Harris, who possesses the most leftist voting record in the upper chamber as a moderate. She’s a moderate. Nothing about Harris’s support for Medicare for all the green New Deal spike. Tax increases, open borders, sanctuary cities. Taxpayer funded health care for illegal immigrants. Late term abortion. And a religious litmus test for Catholic judicial nominations. Screams Moderate to Welker. Welker, of course, is not immune to the exhaustive Wolk ism now permeating the White House press corps. She’s accused the president of launching his career on birth ism, criticize the president for fanning the flames of the culture wars and ask then White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders repeatedly whether she could guarantee that the president never use the N-word. There’s the moderate. When it comes to coverage of Biden, Welker has shown to be far more deferential, raising further doubts about the debate moderator’s impartiality going into Thursday night. This, of course, made Welker all the more attractive to the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has gone out of its way to protect Biden just like the media. At issue this week is whether Welker will raise any questions to the Democrat nominee on stage involving the recent series of blockbuster revelations to emerge last week implicating Biden and his son, hundreds potentially criminal overseas business activities. Former Clinton White House communications director George Stephanopoulos completely ignored the scandal during ABC Townhall. And what about Biden’s taxes? I just mentioned them. We didn’t pay into Obamacare and Medicare. What about Biden’s? White supremacy and its racism early in his career. It’s significant and I’ll get to that later in the program. A glimpse into Walker’s past offers little reason to be optimistic. The NBC White House correspondent declared during the House impeachment proceedings that September last year that, quote, there’s no evidence of wrongdoing by Biden unquote. What a flunky. What an absolute flunky, by the way, I’m pleased to announce that Joni Ernst has gotten back to us. It turns out there was some communication difficulties. She will be coming on the program. The only one we have not heard from is Cory Gardner. Not even a response. But all the other folks are in these tight race who are coming on and will be coming on, as will additional members for the for the House seats. Very, very important that we stay engaged. Doesn’t help my ratings. We lose. People don’t want to hear about candidates, but we have to do what we have to do. Which is the right thing. Now, I I’m loading up this first hour with information that you can use to get out your five or 10 friends to make sure they vote. Crucially important, crucially important. I don’t care what state you’re in, particularly the battleground states, but all states. This is from hot air dot com. This very important. Studies fatality rates from combat are dropping sharply everywhere. Hello, how low fatality rates from Covid are, dropping sharply everywhere. Now, I’m sure this welcome will bring this up to the vice president. From Allah pundit for the second straight day, a bright light shines through the gloom of darkening cove in outlook this fall. Yesterday, the good news was that fears of schools becoming mass incubators of coronavirus appear to be overblown. Positivity rates across a sample of tens of thousands of students and staff in New York City are minuscule. Maybe we can have safe in class instruction this fall. Not according to the teachers union thugs back in Fairfax, Virginia, which has like a population of one point one or two million. The teacher union thugs, they are better known as the National Education Association. Affiliates do not want in person in school teaching. Until next year. Because we all know that our schools exist for the teachers and the unions. We all know our property taxes exists for the teachers and the unions. How would the children? And God only knows these scholars and reports will come out in 5, 10, 20 years of what we’re doing to this generation of kids. We’re ruining them. But it also underscores how this massive education bureaucracy in this country is not needed. It’s not needed. Let me continue. But today’s news is even better. Listen, because the Biden campaign is spending half a billion dollars up to the election. And they’re getting billions of dollars in free media coverage trying to prove to you. Or lie to you. That the president, the vice president mishandled this virus when in fact. They should be celebrated for everything they’ve done. As cases explode in Europe and climb towards a new peak in the United States, a tantalizingly miss mystery has emerged. Why aren’t we seeing the same crushing death tolls and hotspots that we saw in the spring? Deaths are rising in Europe from their summer lows, but they’re nowhere near the gory levels of April. Even though both countries, that is the U.K. and France are setting records and the number of daily cases, that’s the U.K. and France, the trends in cases and deaths here in the United States also diverged a while ago. Now, the pessimistic theory why deaths in Western countries haven’t approach their spring peaks. That the number of infections during the spring was much, much greater than the meager testing available at the time. But there’s a more optimistic theory to. The fact is. Single health system finds that mortality has dropped among hospitalized patients. This is coming from the National Pubic Radio, by the way. Two new studies. National Pubic Radio they covered has become less lethal, lethal. One study, which was of single health system, finds the mortality has dropped among hospitalized patients by nearly 18 points since the pandemic began. Patients in the study had a twenty five point six percent chance of dying at the start of the pandemic, now seven point six percent. So death rates dropped because of improvements in treatments, or is it because of the change in who’s getting sick? Well, they took a look at this. The study looked at over 5000 hospitalizations in the NYU Langone health system between March and August, and they justify four factors, including age and other diseases like diabetes, to rule out the possibility that the numbers have dropped only because younger, healthier people were getting diagnosed. You know what they found. They found that death rates dropped for all groups, even older patients, by 18 percentage points on average. I would classify this as a silver lining to what has been quite a hard time for many people, says Bella Mateen, a data science fellow at the Alan Turing Institute in the UK. There’s no silver bullet explanation for the decline, researchers suspect. Partly it’s a matter of doctors getting better at anticipating and so forth and so on. But in the United States, it has dropped significantly. Significantly. The mortality rate. I wonder if that’ll get into the debate tomorrow, Mr. Producer. I’m raising issues that should be in the debate. Tomorrow. You know what’s on the list? The moderator, but nonetheless, for debate issues, the Corona virus. Climate change, race. Didn’t we go through this in the first debate? I can understand the current of my wise climate change on there because she is pushing the hard left agenda. Aimed at the suburbs. You don’t believe in climate change. It is science. Climate change is an issue. I like the vice president’s hands. You know what he said? You remember he said, yes, there’s climate change. The climate change is the issue is what’s causing it? How much is taking place, whether it’s manmade, whether it’s the sun, whatever it is. So the idea that’s not been resolved. I thought there was a brilliant and. But why is it on the list? Now, one issue of farm policy is on the edge nonetheless. Not China. Gee, I wonder why. Not the Middle East, where there’s massive success. Gee, I wonder why not the Iran deal. Gee, I wonder why the only way this issue, these issues will come up is if the president brings them up himself. But that shouldn’t be the way this works. This was to be the third debate. There’s no second debate because the moderator they picked was defective. He was a Democrat and then he lied about what he had. What do you tweeted? The first of eight was a mess, and I’m not going to get into that any further. But you understand my views and go back and hear them. And now they pick a radical left wing Democrat to be the moderator. And among the issues is climate change, which already came up. The White House NBC reporter. Shouldn’t be any reporters who are moderates, should be no moderator, as I’ve been preaching and campaigning against now for two decades. Well, unfortunately, there is one. And she’s a hack. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
I also have done much of this on a 10 minute segment on Hannity. But let’s go through this. Number one, as recently as June of 2019, Biden praised the civility of the segregated senator’s segregationist senators. He worked within Congress to pass anti-busing legislation. Quote, I was in a caucus with James Eastland, Biden said. With an attempted southern drawl, he never called me boy. He always called me son. Well, guess what, the former vice president continued. Least there was some civility. We got things done. We didn’t agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today you look at the other side and you’re the enemy, not the opposition. The enemy. We don’t talk to each other anymore. Now, the reputations of Eastland and Talmadge and others over the decades has segregationists. That upset people at the time. Eastland, in particular, was known as the voice of the White South for stringent opposition to civil rights integration. The New York Times wrote in Iceland’s obituary often appeared in Mississippi courthouse squares, promising the crowds that if elected, he would stop blacks and whites from eating together in Washington. He often spoke of blacks as an inferior race. Of course, Biden. Has changed, hasn’t it? Ladies and gentlemen. And of course, the president, United States has never spoken like this. Biden, who joined the Senate 1972, missed most of the early battles on school integration. But he did arrive just as busing to achieve school desegregation was coming to the forefront. Now, ladies and gentlemen, most people oppose busing, including the black families in these cities, white families. It was it was very tumultuous for a lot of people on quote unquote, both sides. But wait, what made Biden particularly outrageous here was what he said about. That’s what he said about it. He spoke like a segregationist racist. 1977, he wrote to James Eastland, he said, Dear Mr. Chairman, I want you to know that I very much appreciate your help during this week’s committee meeting. In attempting to bring my anti-busing legislation to a vote, I am hopeful that the bill can be voted on the next meeting. And with your assistance, I’m confident there’s sufficient support for approval. So he’s writing Eastland, who he knows to be a segregationist in a white supremacist, and he’s writing him because he knows he’s going to help him get that bill passed. Now, that’s pretty amazing stuff. Now, there’s a lot more in here, and I want people to know about it because despite what the media say and so forth, there are many people listen to this program who are minorities and there many people listen to this program are moderates who are Democrats. Maybe they’re still thinking about what to do. You can talk about Donald Trump’s tweets all you want. People can lie about what he said in Charlottesville. All they want. His record has been outstanding when it comes to the African-American community. And there’s there’s Barack Obama speaking in Philadelphia. You know what? He couldn’t say all the accomplishments of the Obama Biden camp administration in the African-American community. You know, the other reason he’s there that Joe Biden won’t go, that.
