On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, the press has provided almost no coverage of the rulings on the Trump cases, or the multiple hearings that have taken place with dozens of witnesses. They have all but ignored President Trump’s speech today where he laid out the facts of the irregularities, the elimination of signature matching, and postal requirements, as well as the extension of ballot deadlines other rule changes for mail-in ballots. The fraud abounds and the yet establishment media and government types say and do nothing. Then, the economist and columnist Walter E. Williams has passed away. Williams was a huge icon for liberty, the constitution, and humanity. Armed with an excellent sense of humor and superior intellect, Williams lived a graceful life and kept the company of fellow conservative intellectuals Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell. Later, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is out of control. What Pennsylvania has done at the state level affects the Electoral College. A state court cannot change or create election laws, only the PA legislature can. Republicans must stand up to this lawlessness. This cowardice must end because the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania is stepping all over the legislature. If the US Supreme Court doesn’t fix this rogue state court we will have a federal Constitutional crisis. Afterward, CNN is further exposed in newly released tapes from Project Veritas revealing more of their bias. CEO Jeff Zucker even went as far as saying that Trump was a bigger threat to national security than election fraud.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
You know, as an advocate and a commentator, from time to time, I’ll play a video and I’ll respond to it and dispute it. Mr. Producer, as you well know. But if I’m a reporter, that’s not my job. If I’m a reporter, my job is to report on in this case, what the president said for 45 minutes in his video, not to play point counterpoint. Wow. But the attorney general said this, but his cyberspace guy said this and they said that. And I’m talking about a report about a name, young lady, by the name of Fisher, I think both her parents were astronauts. And the first. Seven or eight minutes. When the news program they’re playing parts of what the. President said in his video, and she’s providing commentary. And she’s debating it and she’s quoting the attorney general, she’s quoting the cyber security guy, she’s calling this. It’s shocking to me. And yet not a single syllable about all the hearings that have taken place that are not being covered live on. Virtually any cable program, maybe a couple of cable channels, not a single word. Nothing about the cases in Pennsylvania. Nothing about rulings, judges, rulings, and now having hearings. Not a word. It’s incredible to me. Now we have a couple of short clips of what the president said today, and I’m also going to be posting the full version of the president’s comments today, you know. Here’s the thing. He deserves at least minimal respect, doesn’t he? So people are going to hear what he has to say without interpretation, without criticism. We already have the Democrats for that, we don’t need reporters for that. And thank God for James O’Keefe. And his project Veritas. You, what takes place? The CNN newsroom, and I fear it’s taking place in every newsroom. So I will post the full version of the president’s speech today, he said he believed it was, if not the most important, one of the most important speeches that he’s ever made. Mr. Producer, for some reason, my computer cannot put a capital H. Yeah. Can I put a capital H on there? So would you please fix that for me? But we’re going to go ahead and post it and you can and you can watch it yourself. You don’t need interpreters. I mean, again, I’m an advocate, I’m a commentator. But I’m not a newsperson. Here’s part of what the president said today, and again, I’m posting the full statement, cut six go. We used to have what was called Election Day. Now we have election days, weeks and months. And lots of bad things happened during this ridiculous period of time, especially when you have to prove almost nothing to exercise our greatest privilege, the right to vote. As president, I have no higher duty than to defend the laws and the Constitution of the United States. That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault and siege. For months leading up to the presidential election, we were warned that we should not declare a premature victory. We were told repeatedly that it would take weeks, if not months, to determine the winner, to count the absentee ballots and to verify the results. My opponent was told to stay away from the election. Don’t campaign. We don’t need you. We’ve got it. This election is done. In fact, they were acting like they already knew what the outcome was going to be. They had it covered and perhaps they did. Very sadly for our country, it was all very, very strange. Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint a winner. Even while many key states were still being counted, the constitutional process must be allowed to continue. We are going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring that every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal ballot is counted. This is not just about honoring the votes of 74 million Americans who voted for me. It’s about ensuring that Americans can have faith in this election and in all future elections. Mm hmm. Wow. How radical. How terrible. He needs to cut that out. He needs to cut that out. He needs to stop. He needs to give up. This great case going to the U.S. Supreme Court, they need to withdraw their case and just allow the violations of the Constitution to continue. Our friend Ed Morrissey. Over at Hot Air, he’s very, very concerned. He thinks maybe Alito will take the case well, that what the Supreme Court did in Pennsylvania is unconstitutional, but allow the certifications to go on or at least allow the certification that took place to take place. I don’t know what Sam Alito will do. He should take up the case in the Supreme Court, should rule what was done is unconstitutional. It’s clearly unconstitutional under the state constitution. And there’s clearly a federal question. And then I hear somebody say, well, they didn’t claim a federal question when they went to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, because you don’t claim a federal question to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The federal question arises as a result of what the state Supreme Court actually did in response to the state legislature. Leave the constitutional law to me, geniuses, geniuses on the Internet, leave it to me. This is what I’ve done. For a spa, actually 40 years, leave it to me. The former federal prosecutors, the professors who really don’t get involved in this stuff, the bloggers, they’re confusing people. They are creating static. And if the Supreme Court strikes it down, she my prediction was right, I’m not in the prediction business. And of course, these are tough battles. But the idea that there’s no evidence. Of widespread fraud, I’ll call it that, systemic. Now, let’s call it widespread fraud. In fact, there’s so much evidence of widespread fraud, ladies and gentlemen, I can’t even catalogue at all state to state. And I watch a reporter on TV. There’s got to be in her 20s, I guess, good for her critiquing the president. Cherrypicking, quoting with the attorney general, said that so far they haven’t seen evidence of of systemic fraud or fraud that would overturn the election. Why is that even relevant? Since the truth is, U.S. attorneys and main justice have a secondary role in all this. When I talk to the people who are involved in the hand-to-hand combat that’s going on in these states, many of whom are very serious lawyers, bringing very serious cases. If I had these reporters here now, regardless of the cable channel. And I told them what was going on in the country and I asked him if they thought it was serious, they wouldn’t even know what I’m talking about because they choose not to inform themselves. And to do it with a smirk on your face is even more appalling. And we heard James O’Keefe and CNN and CNN could care less what’s going on out in the country. I just wish these same reporters were so smirky and snide and condescending all through the Russia collusion nonsense. But they weren’t there carrying water for the conspiracy nuts. President of the United States cut seven go, I want to explain the corrupt mail in balloting scheme that Democrats systematically put into place that allowed voting to be altered, especially in swing states. Now, let’s stop. That is exactly true based on the litigation and any reporter on TV who’d like to call in and have a discussion about that, I’m more than happy to do it because none of you covered it as it was happening. None of you. Whether it was Nevada or Michigan or Georgia or even North Carolina. Whether it was Pennsylvania, none of you covered it, none of you covered nearly 300 lawsuits. That were brought to change the rules and why do they bring these lawsuits to change the rules because they believe in good government? Is that why you get rid of signatures and signature matching? Is that why you extend the count? There’s still counting in New York. Finding balance judges. The scale of justice being thrown into the river. Go ahead. They just didn’t know that it was going to be that tough because we were leading in every swing state by so much, far greater than they ever thought possible. Well, it has long been understood that the Democrat political machine engages in voter fraud from Detroit to Philadelphia to Milwaukee, Atlanta, so many other places. What changed this year was the Democrat Party’s relentless push to print and mail out tens of millions. A ballots sent to unknown recipients with virtually no safeguards of any kind, this allowed fraud and abuse to occur on a scale never seen before. Using the pandemic as a pretext, Democrat politicians and judges drastically changed election procedures just months and in some cases weeks before the election on the 3rd of November. Very rarely were legislatures involved and constitutionality stopped. That was all true. You had secretaries of state changing the rules, even in Georgia, even Republicans. It boards of elections changing the rules, yet yet executive branch is changing the rules, you courts changing the rules, courts of Michigan courts and Pennsylvania changing the rules literally weeks before the general election. That’s a fact. That I didn’t hear on this report tonight. That’s a fact. Now, that’s not amenable to a criminal charge by a U.S. attorney, something they say while the Department of Justice didn’t find that it doesn’t matter what they found. They’re not the first line. Plus, I gave you a perfect example. Of widespread fraud in one county in Pennsylvania. That was raised with the Department of Justice, I was raised with the US attorney’s office and they didn’t bend a finger. Go ahead involved, but very, very rarely, and you’ll see that as we continue to file lawsuits, it’s constitutionally absolutely incorrect what took place even from a legal standpoint. Listen to how. Thoughtful. Precise. An important the president’s words are and his arguments are, and he’s exactly right. What took place in these states is disgusting. And they didn’t get rid of signatures and get rid of postal dates and extend the counting time for mail in voting, they didn’t increase mail in voting by four times in the nation, 10 times in Pennsylvania. They didn’t do all these things. Because they wanted a clean vote. And we know it. There’s another cut I want to play from for you, from the president to. In this speech, remember, you can see the entire speech I’ve linked to it on Mark Levin Show Parler, Mark Levin Show, Twitter, Mark Levin Show, Facebook, which will will be leaving on December 31. The reporting on this is so bizarre, they’re tracking me to see what’s he going to leave. I never said I’m leaving Twitter, he said I’m leaving Facebook. Twitter hasn’t done anything to me. They start censoring me. I’ll leave Twitter. But Facebook is done, I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
We will continue with the rest of the program shortly to talk about the Dr. Walter Williams. Dr. Walter Williams was on this radio program fairly often over the almost 20 years I’ve been on radio when I started Life, Liberty and living in the very first show in February. Twenty eighteen, I wanted Walter Williams on my show and he came down from suburban Philadelphia. I wanted to have him on again, what, June or July on TV, Mr. Blitzer or something like that. But he was on an oxygen machine, one of those portable oxygen machines that people use when they have emphysema. And so we decided we wouldn’t do that. So I brought them on radio during the course of the Democrat Party, riots in the streets to have him comment on it. You know, when I was a young teenager, I was instinctively a conservative because I didn’t like authority that much. He didn’t like people pushing me around. And Walter Williams, who from time to time would be on PBS with Milton Friedman and so forth, as was Thomas Tommaseo, but he wrote these beautiful columns and I remember my dad and mom showing them to me, encouraging me to read them. We’ve lost an icon. People use that word a lot, we’ve lost a huge, huge presence in this society for those of us who believe in liberty, in the constitution and humanity of the individual. When we come back after the bottom of the hour, I want to talk a little bit further about Walter Williams before we go on. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
One more on Walter Williams. Walter Williams had a terrific sense of humor. He’s very easy going, but he was a fierce defender of liberty, period. When he was young, he experienced a lot of racism. He grew up in Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, the North Philadelphia. And he and I used to talk about Philadelphia. I’m a Philadelphian myself. I think he he lived for several decades in suburban Philadelphia. I was I recall I also remember Walter constantly with a cigarette in his hand. Those damnable cigarettes you do you want just saying I’ve seen too much of it. And the last time I saw him again was February twenty eighteen. The kickoff of life, liberty and love in it was hilarious, easygoing, you know, to prep him. I mean, he knew his topic and Liberty was what he cared about. Liberte. He said, you’re a libertarian kind of classical liberal. Would that be about right? He said, Yeah, that’s about right. You notice something about Walter Williams and his dear close, almost lifelong friend, Thomas. They didn’t become never trumpet’s. They were not never Trump, they didn’t agree with everything Donald Trump did, they didn’t agree with everything he said in the way he said it, but they understood the nature of a Republican. They understood Republicanism. I’ve had time, Thomas soul on my show, Life, Liberty and Love, and I’ve had them on my radio show. I think it’s very, very important that we listen to these iconic figures while they’re with us. And I one of them’s gone. And, you know, selfishly, personally, as I said when I first heard this, it was a kick in the gut because you go I don’t know. They say people are replaceable. They’re not replaceable. He’s irreplaceable, Milton Friedman’s irreplaceable, William Russia’s irreplaceable, William Buckley’s irreplaceable. We have people who who feel like they they fill their shoes today. They don’t fill their shoes. Not even close. And Walter Williams will be missed and. Right up to a few weeks before he passed away, and I suspect he knew the time was coming, I don’t know, but breathing disorders, emphysema. I mean, it’s it’s you’re suffocating. And here is his last column, which came out today for me. But for some people, I suppose, yesterday that this tragedy in black education is new. That was the title. Dated December one several years ago, Project Baltimore began an investigation of Baltimore school system. What they found was an utter disgrace. In 19 of Baltimore’s thirty nine high schools, out of thirty eight hundred and four students, only 14 of them are less than one percent were proficient in math. In 13 of Baltimore’s high schools, not a single student scored proficient in math in five Baltimore City high schools, not a single student scored proficient in math or reading. And despite these academic deficiencies, about 70 percent of the students graduate and conferred a high school diploma, a fraudulent high school diploma. Education was so important to him, big believer in school choice. Said the Detroit Public Schools community districts scored the lowest in the nation compared to twenty six other urban districts for reading and mathematics at the fourth and eighth grade levels. Recent video captures some of this miseducation of Milwaukee high schools and two city high schools, only one student tested proficient in math. None are proficient in English. Yet the school spent a full week learning about systemic racism and Black Lives Matter activist. By the way, he says a November 19, 20, 20 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article says, how many black teachers did you have? I’ve only had two. And the article concludes, For future black students, that number needs to go up. New York City is one of many school systems in the United States set to roll out Black Lives Matter themed lesson plans, according to the NYC Department of Education. Teachers will delve into systemic racism, police brutality and white privilege in their classrooms. Should we blame this education tragedy on racial discrimination or claim that it’s a legacy of slavery? And then he quotes his dear friend ThomasA, and I tell you, Walter Williams was so. Graceful, as is Tommaso. These two are. Just unbelievable, Dr. Thomas Soldz, research and education, assumptions versus history. Documents academic excellence at Baltimore’s Frederick Douglass High School and others, the academic excellence that’s occurred during the late eighteen hundreds to the mid nineteen hundreds, an era when blacks were much poorer, much poorer than today and face gross racial discrimination. Frederick Douglass High School of yesteryear produced many distinguished alumni such as Thurgood Marshall and Cab Calloway and several judges, congressmen and civil rights leaders, federal Douglass High School was second in the nation and black PhDs among its alumni also insults. Education assumptions versus history is the story of Paul Laurence Dunbar. That is the story of Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, a black public school in Washington, D.C.. As early as 1899, its students scored higher on citywide tests than any of the city’s white schools. From its founding in 1870 to 1955, most of its graduates went off to college. Dunbar, as distinguished alumni, include US Senator Edward Brook, physician Charles Drew and during World War Two, nearly a score of majors, nine colonels, lieutenant colonels and brigadier general. Today’s Paul Laurence Dunbar and Frederick Douglass high schools have material resources that would have been unimaginable to their predecessors, but having those resources have been about absolutely nothing in terms of academic achievement. If we accept the notion that rotten education is not preordained, that I wonder when the black community will demand an end to an education environment that condemns so many youngsters to mediocrity. You can bet the rent money that white liberals and high income blacks would not begin to accept the kind of education for their children that most blacks receive order, Williams went on. The school climate seldom discussed plays a very important role in education during the twenty, seventeen, eighteen school year. There were an estimated nine hundred sixty two thousand three hundred violent incidents, four hundred and seventy six thousand one hundred nonviolent incidents in US public schools. Nationwide, schools with a thousand or more students had at least one sworn law enforcement officer. About 90 percent of those law enforcement officers carry firearms. Aside from violence, there are many instances of outright disrespect for teachers first and second graders telling teachers to shut the fuck up and calling teachers BS. Years ago, much of that behavior from young people that we see today would have never been tolerated, there was the vice principal’s office for corporal punishment would be administered for gross infractions. If the kid was unwise enough to tell his parents what happened, you might get more punishment at home. Today, unfortunately, we have replaced practices that work with practices that sound good and caring. And we are witnessing the results. Dr. Walter Williams final count. Professor of economics at George Mason University. Who will be remembered as long as I live on this program? And as I say, he was the first guest, the inaugural show of Life, Liberty and Levin. And I’m going to interrupt what I was talking about earlier to play some of what he said, now I’ll play some and then we’ll take a break and I’ll play some more. February twenty five. Twenty eighteen. Cut 15 go. How would you define liberty? Well, I defined it as as people being a. Well, to engage in peaceable voluntary exchange without interference by others and in typically down through mankind’s history, liberty is not the normal state of affairs that is. Throughout mankind’s history, he’s been subject to arbitrary abuse and control by others. And so the amount of liberties that Americans have and perhaps Western Europe as well, the amount of is relatively rare in humankind. And I think that the danger that we face is that some historian, maybe 200 years from now, he might be writing. He says, well, look, the normal state of affairs has been arbitrary abuse and control by others. And there’s this little tiny curiosity where a relatively few people had a large amount of liberty for a short amount of time, but it all went back to the normal state of affairs that is arbitrary abuse and control by others. Do you think liberty has the seeds of its own demise? That there’s a paradox because people who don’t support liberty or who are unwitting about liberty can still use liberty to destroy liberty? Oh, that’s absolutely right. That that is, they can use liberty to destroy liberty. They can use the if you look at if you look at totalitarians around the world, they always start out. They are force for free speech. That is because they need free speech to get their foot in the door. But after their foot is in the door, they want to eliminate free speech. And you see this all the kind you’ll see of this all over the world. And we’re beginning to see it in the United States. That is in Berkeley. That was the the seed of the free speech movement. Bernell at Berkeley. There wasn’t any free speech whatsoever. So so, again, I think that we have to be very, very concerned because we’re losing our liberty. And if you ask the question, which way are we moving tiny steps at a time, are we headed towards more personal liberty or towards more government control over our lives? It has to be unambiguously the latter. So true, particularly over the last 12 months, when you see what governors have been doing and mayors have been doing. We’re going to continue with Walter Williams after our break.
Hour 1 Segment 4
The iconic Walter Williams, who passed away either late last night or early this morning. February twenty five, twenty eighteen on the inaugural Life, Liberty and Levin program cuts 16 go. You know, when I was about 20 years old, my father and I visited a senator by the name of Paul Laxalt from Nevada is very close to Ronald Reagan. And one of the things he said to me that stuck with me ever since, every day Congress meets, he said, we lose a little bit of our liberty. I wasn’t supposed to be that way, ma’am. The American people largely do not like politicians. The American people largely do not like Congress. And all the polls come through the Congress rates very low. But it seems like when there’s a problem, there’s a big percentage of the American people on health care or housing or or gun laws or what have you. They immediately say government should do something. They don’t trust the bureaucracy. They don’t trust Washington. They don’t trust Congress. A government should do something. How do you explain that paradox? Well, I think that there’s a temptation among all humans to want to live at the expense of somebody else. That is the American people. And it’s sad to say this is that the American people love to live at the expense of somebody else. That is, whether it be farmers. They want that farm subsidies, poor people, food stamps, businesses, business bailouts. So if if that’s same case of the farmer, is a farmer, is having trouble, and if he comes in, puts a gun to me and said, give me your money, he’s going to go to jail. But if he goes to Washington and gets a congressman to write a law enabling the IRS to take my money, he doesn’t go to jail. So what people like to use government to do things that if they did the same thing, they would go to jail. So what I’m saying is that people like to use the government to legalize theft. How much can we average? Not enough. I’ve got two other clips I want to play after the top of the hour that are very important, too. But you see how these pearls of wisdom, how this brilliance just flows. There’s very few people, very few people who are capable of taking relatively complex subjects and reducing them down to relatively simple and understandable sentences. And that’s why this man was so influential on so many of our lives. I don’t believe there’s a conservative in radio or TV today who wasn’t influenced and I mean significantly by Walter Williams and Walter Williams has reached through his columns and his books and substitute hosting for Rush Limbaugh. Remember that? He was he was tremendous. He was hilarious. Used to talk about his wife, Mrs. Williams wouldn’t permit this Mrs. Room, and then she passed away, that was his darling. And. You know, 20, 20 has really sucked, it has really been a terrible, terrible year. I’m just being honest. With this coronavirus, the effect on the economy. The disastrous potential outcome of the presidential election. The death of so many wonderful people. And even though Walter Williams and I weren’t like social buddies. But he was he was he was he was extremely influential and he was more than happy to come on the program, wasn’t he, Mr. Producer? He was he was a happy warrior. And you always wanted to hear what he had to say. The Tony Tony has been lousy, very, very lousy. When we come back, that matter, so is 2018 and 2019. I’m just talking about for me, but that’s a whole nother story. We’re going to come back to Walter Williams. I’m in no rush when I hear a few other brilliant statements he had made in response to some of my questions. And then we’ll we’ll continue to plow ahead. I hope you’ll stick with us. I’ll be right back.
