On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Republicans that trash the Tea Party and stand against liberty are the problem. America is facing a movement that is destroying the country and Rep. Liz Cheney and the Bush family are attacking Trump supporters because they have no clue of how serious the threat is. The issue with Liz Cheney is not about Liz Cheney, but its illustrative of a larger problem. A RINO problem that predates Trump and has been antagonistic toward Constitutional conservatives for decades. Liz Cheney should stand up for Liberty instead of claiming some false mantle of never-Trump leadership. Later, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy calls in with his reaction to Liz Cheney’s ouster from GOP leadership. McCarthy explained that out of all America’s problems Liz Cheney was focused on Trump, not on Biden’s weakness on China, the impending inflation, or our out-of-control border. McCarthy quipped that even Sen. Bernie Sanders is more conservative than Joe Biden. Then, educational materials are being used to indoctrinate students under the dangerous guise of critical race theory. These curricula pose questions like “is everyone equal?” Parents are speaking up and one mom in Virginia gave an eloquent rebuke of Critical Race Theory to her school board. Afterward, Former Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer joins the show from Israel to describe what the recent terrorist rocket attacks were like. Dermer added that a heavy price must be exacted on Hamas to restore deterrence not just restoring security. This was done by eliminating several Hamas commanders. Hamas commits war crimes in these attacks by targeting Israeli civilians and launching these rockets from Hamas bunkers hidden next to schools and hospitals where they use civilian women and children as human shields. Hamas does this with the hope that Israel will be portrayed as the aggressors by propagandists in the media. Dermer added that much of Hamas’ support comes from Iran and any deal that leads to nuclear Iran destabilize the entire Middle East region.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
I think we have the first interview with Kevin McCarthy after the vote on Liz Cheney in our three, we have the former ambassador to the United States from Israel, Ron Dermer. So several big topics to discuss tonight. But I want to circle back to Liz Cheney. You see the debate with and about Liz Cheney is not even about and with Liz Cheney. It is about. A Republican. Party. Any decision about what this Republican Party wants to be? George W. Bush could not get elected president of the United States again. It’s just not possible. George H.W. Bush. Could not get elected president of the United States again. The two presidents over the last several decades, Republican presidents who won by massive landslides. Or let me turn it this way, who got massive numbers of votes? Where Ronald Reagan into elections. And Donald Trump, intellectual’s elections. Now, there’s never Trumper movement is not about winning elections, it’s not even about winning ideas. People like Mona Charen, who’s become quite the whack job. Other individuals who I’ve known in the past. People like Adam Kinzinger, who lied to get elected the first time, these people have never really embraced the Tea Party. When you look at the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, they trashed the Tea Party left and right and they embraced John McCain, who trashed the Tea Party left and right. Whether these men served in wars or not. And Liz Cheney, even though her father was a hawk and much of a hawk myself, if it means defending America. Their blind. They’re absolutely blind now. What do I mean by that? We are facing a movement within the United States that is destroying our country. And Liz Cheney and Mona Charen and the rest of them. The Bush family. Have no answers for it, fact they barely even recognized. While you and we are confronting it, engaging it, fighting it, they’re attacking. Donald Trump and Donald Trump supporters. They have no clue about what’s taking place in this country, no clue. And they have no answers. As I was saying, the issue with Liz Cheney is not about Liz Cheney, she is illustrative of a problem within the Republican Party. She’s really not relevant in the least. She’s one member of the House of Representatives, but the left and the never Trump is wish to pour their emotions and hopes into her, which, of course, is going nowhere. She’s had nothing but contempt for Donald Trump and his supporters long before January 6th. Long before January 6th. So let’s not pretend it was about January 6th. Same with Kinzinger, who didn’t even vote for Trump. The time before last and they’re not alone. But here’s Liz Cheney at a press conference she had after she was voted out. By the Republicans, cut six go, we have had the conference meeting. I am absolutely committed, as I said last night and as I said just now to my colleagues, that we must go forward based on truth. We cannot both embrace the big lie and embrace the Constitution. And we’re not. What are you talking about? Oh, you’re the defender of the Constitution Society, but nobody else is. We’ve talked about this till I’m blue in the face, what was done in at least five states, but Pennsylvania in particular, and three Supreme Court justices who wanted to take up the case, are they against the Constitution to. Go ahead. Going forward, the nation needs it, the nation needs a strong Republican Party, the nation needs a party that that is based upon fundamental principles of conservatism, of constitutional conservatism. Do you not support the Constitution, Liz? Article two, Section one, clause two. Did you read the two cases that were brought, one related to that and one related to another aspect of it? I’ve never heard you comment on this ever. Or Tom Ridge or Whitman. Or Kinzinger or any of the others. Go ahead. I am committed and dedicated to ensuring that that’s how this party goes forward and I plan to lead the fight to do that. I plan to lead the fight to do that with whom? You know, there’s a group of them. I see Barbara Comstock, former congressman from Northern Virginia. She used to work on Capitol Hill. She was quite the conservative bomb thrower back then. I remember she would call me and we will work together on various issues. And now she’s a lobbyist of sorts, and she’s thrown in with the left of the party, Whitman and the others I mentioned talking about breaking off or starting a new party. That’s how much they care about the Republican Party, they’ve benefited from the Republican Party, they have benefited from conservative activists all these years, conservative donors all these years. But it’s all about them. And I’ve noticed how many of these people are actually narcissists. You can tell Liz Cheney is. Whitman clearly is Kinzinger through the roof. That’s going to cut seven and listen to the great reporters question, go ahead. Great advice. I just feel betrayed by today’s vote. Because you see, she’s a victim. Of course, there aren’t disagreements within the Republican Party, right, ladies and gentlemen, everybody agrees with everybody. Ted Cruz agrees with Susan Collins all the time. Isn’t that the case? And we could name scores of others. So this argument that Liz Cheney has to follow along or else Liz Cheney wanted to be the conference chair, the number three person in leadership in the House. Among the Republicans, she failed. They removed her. Turns out she was a dyed in the wool never Trumper, she would attack Trump all the time. Long before this on January six. And it would have been nice if Liz Cheney went to the floor of the House. And said. But I am very concerned that the people who threw Molotov cocktails and brought guns and other weapons to the Portland courthouse. Almost none but one are actually being seriously prosecuted. I’m very, very concerned about in Teef in Black Lives Matter and how our Department of Justice, particularly the FBI, isn’t tracking down these people and arresting them. I’m very, very concerned about the treatment these January six individuals are receiving in our prisons, even though I disagree with what they did, she didn’t do any of that. It’s Trump, Trump, Trump, and she really hates you. That’s what it’s about, but she’s a fighter. A fighter for what? For what? So do you feel betrayed, Liz? What was her answer? Rich, go ahead. That it is an indication of where the Republican Party the problem is the Republican Party, not her, not the never Trump purse, not to sell out lobbyists. No, no, no, no. The problem is you. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
Where the Republican Party is and wow, that was a horrible four years with the Republican Party, is, isn’t it? Ladies and gentlemen, the borders being secured, China being confronted, Israel being supported. More on that later. The economy booming prior to the pandemic and coming into a boom after the pandemic until screwball screwed it up. Rebuilding the United States military. Wow. That’s where the Republican Party was under Donald Trump trying to put constitutionalists on the court. Donald Trump did more. In terms of conservatism and constitutionalism. Then George W. Bush did in eight years. In eight years. He was weak on immigration in the border. His appointments to the Supreme Court, some were good, but then he tried a few others that were lousy. And we can go on. Liz Cheney cut eight yo, are you the leader of the opposition in exile right now? I know the leader of the opposition. This is the genius, Savannah Guthrie, because they they really do think this is a cool thing. Go ahead. I intend to be the leader, one of the leaders in a fight. All right, let’s the ladies and gentlemen, you don’t announce your leader. You become a leader, you become a statesman. You don’t announce that you’re a leader or you’re one of the leaders. Now, this is. Pretty amazing, she’s actually exposed herself in a very significant way. These never Trumpers do not. Comprehend what we’re facing in this country, these never Trumpers are saboteurs. They can disagree with Donald Trump all they want, fair and square. But that’s not what they’re doing. They are political arsonists, they are political. I don’t know what to say. And so they’d rather see the Republican Party lose, they’d rather see conservatives lose, they’d rather see the Democrats win and Biden win than otherwise. Look at. Cindy McCain, look at so many Republicans. Look at how George W. Bush was gushing. To Kleiber. At Biden’s inauguration. How Clyburn had. And helped take down Trump. Look at Romney. Look how Romney conducts himself. They don’t have a clue about what’s going on because they’ve been in and around Washington and in and around the cafes with members of Congress and so forth, which is fine, but now they’re part of the problem. These are pseudo conservatives, these are pseudo constitutionalists. If Liz Cheney really gave one damn whit about the United States Constitution, she would have supported the litigation in Pennsylvania that challenged what was taking place in Pennsylvania based on the federal and state constitution, not even on ballots or machines. She wouldn’t do it. She didn’t support it. And again, there were three Supreme Court justices in the one case who wanted to take up the case. How do we know they said so later? And another case that this isn’t going away. And ladies and gentlemen, it isn’t going away and as a result, we have h h r one and s one, which would destroy our voting system, make the Democrat Party the party in power for all time. So if you oppose what the Democrats are trying to do in Washington, you should have opposed what they were doing in the state of Pennsylvania. Liz Cheney said nothing and she condemned Josh Hawley, who is raising it as an issue. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
Now, this is a big deal, the Liz Cheney matter, not because of what the media say, not because with the never trump persay, but because it indicates how sick our political system is. She’s busy trying to take out Donald Trump, who’s already not president of the United States. She says she needs to take over the Republican Party. Why she won a single House seat in Wyoming. On what authority talk about the mind of an autocrat. The mind of an autocrat. Here’s the problem, ladies and gentlemen, let me put it to you this way. There was a big piece on how George W. Bush and Michelle Obama are actually best friends. They get along great. They’re best friends, they get along great. Now, this is an amazing thing to me. You can be respectful, you can be nice to each other, but your best friend was somebody who’s preaching critical race theory. Really? You have no common sense whatsoever. So George Bush, Liz Cheney, for all their toughness, for all their talk and so forth, they would never join you and me in the battles that we’re having to deal with here. Never. Never. So who do they represent? Exactly. This is a problem, there’s a complete disconnect. A complete disconnect. It’s like bringing Karl Rove on our favorite cable channel to discuss for Liz Cheney what happened to Liz Cheney. He’s part of the mildew. That’s that’s what they do. Nothing against him either. Seems like a nice enough guy. But he’s not representative of anyone or anything in particular except the Bush Cheney clan. We have a country to save. We have a country to save. Liz Cheney. For all her bravado isn’t prepared to help save the country. She’s too busy. Really fighting in the mayor. Will the next president? And attacking the base. And you see, the Republican Party needs to change. The Republican Party is on the precipice of non-existence. That’s what H.R. one and this one are all about. So while she’s fighting with our next president and while she’s making the most outrageous statements about January six, which comports, of course, with all the outrageous statement being spewed by the left in the media, and therefore she is praised while she’s doing all that. You’re losing your classrooms, your kids are being brainwashed. We’re losing our economic system to the climate change fanatics. Our borders wide open, I don’t think George W. Bush minds that too much. Our borders are wide open. People are getting hurt. They’re getting abused. And this is what she’s focused on, that’s why they removed her. As the conference chair of the Republican Party. She’s not in reality. We have big tech. Banning people. Banning speech, I don’t hear her taking the lead on these things, she’s not taking the lead on things that are crucially important to us. As a people, she stuck. She stuck. In our colleges today. We’re getting graduate after graduate after graduate who’s being indoctrinated in Marxism. As she lifted a finger to fight that. Let me give you an example. Let’s talk about public school classrooms today. Publishers are pushing out books on critical race theory now at a brisk pace. Educational materials are being used in public school classrooms throughout America to indoctrinate and brainwash children. Now, here’s the thing. They’re getting some resistance in some counties, which is very, very important. But in some counties, they’re all for it. In some school systems, Chicago, Buffalo, New York, L.A., they’re using it. They’re promoting it as if we have two different school systems going on in this country. This is enormously dangerous. School teachers are being educated and trained in critical race theory, for example, and this is in American Marxism. Is everyone really equal? An introduction to key concepts and social justice education. It’s a popular book by Özlem Sensoy and Robin D’Angelo circulating throughout public education circles. In the book’s forward, James A. Banks, editor of the Multicultural Education Series, explains the agenda. He says this trenchant and timely book is written to help both pre service and practicing teachers attain the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to work effectively with students from diverse backgrounds, including mainstream groups. A major assumption in this book is that teachers need to develop a critical social justice perspective in order to understand the complex issues related to race, gender, class and exceptionality in the United States and Canada and to teach in ways that will promote social justice and equality. The. Education departments in our colleges are actually the worst of the worst. The worst of the worst. Banks cautions that one of the most challenging tasks that those of us who teach multicultural education courses to teacher education students experience is resistance to the knowledge and skills that we teach. This resistance has deep roots in the communities in which most teach education students are socialized, as well as the mainstream knowledge that becomes institutionalized within the academic community and the popular culture. First of all, you notice how verbose these eggheads are. Now, let’s look at how the book breaks down the chapters. You’re ready. This is the indoctrination for teachers and public schools, one of the most popular books. Chapter one, how to engage constructively in courses that take a critical social justice approach, chapter to critical thinking and critical theory that was invented. By communists, communists. Communist’s. Herbert Marcuse, I told you about him yesterday. Chapter three, Culture and Socialization Chapter for Prejudice and Discrimination, Chapter five, Oppression and Power Straight out of the Communist Manifesto. Chapter six Understanding Privilege through Ableism. They like to make up words Chapter seven, understanding the invisibility of oppression through sexism, Chapter eight, understanding the structural nature of oppression through racism. Remember what I told you? It’s the oppressed oppressor model. Chapter nine, understanding the global organization of racism through white supremacy, its global Chapter 10, understanding intersectionality through classism. We’ll talk more about intersectionality another day. Chapter 11, yeah, but common rebuttals, Chapter 12, putting it all together. So he describes the ideological agenda intended by his book for educators Bank says, We hope to take our readers on a journey that results in an increased ability to see beyond the immediate surface level. The deeply embedded injustice, injustice, theft for so many of us is normal and taken for granted. Looking head on at injustice can be painful, especially when we understand that we all have a role in it. However, in taking our readers on this journey, we do not intend to inspire guilt or assign blame at this point in society. Guilt and blame. One second circle. Something guilt and blame are not useful or constructive. No one reading nor I’m reading this book had a hand, no one excuse me, reading this book had a hand in creating the systems that hold injustice in place, after all. That’s pretty shocking, CRT is now firmly entrenched in American universities and colleges, its reach is widespread. It is spreading like a virus. In our public schools, in your kids classrooms, many of you know it, many of you are concerned about it, many of you trying to deal with it. So we have this spreading American Marxism and Liz Cheney. Well, she’s already worried about the spreading of Marxism overseas, and I certainly share that concern. She’s undermining our effort here at home. She’s a distraction. She’s now, unfortunately, a useful idiot. That’s why the Republicans had to do what they did today. People need to lead on these issues. American people need to lead on these issues, the Republicans in the House and the Senate need to understand what we’re up against. The Bush family does not. As I said, George Bush’s one of his best friends is Michelle Obama, who who pushes this? This perversity. And so he can’t stand up to it and he never will and he never has. And neither is Liz Cheney. So you need to have the right people in the right place in order to do battle with this this wretched ideology, by the way, those of you who have preordered your copies of American Marxism, I want to thank you very, very much. We now have preorders of almost 65,000 copies in total with e-books and audio. Almost 7,5000 units. And once we hit 100,000 on the preorders, I really feel this will become a very, very powerful movement, spontaneous from the bottom up. From the bottom up, and I hope this book contributes to the effort the way liberty and tyranny contributed to the Tea Party movement from the bottom up. Not from Washington and Capitol Hill, down from the bottom up, and this is also what she, Liz Cheney, the Bushes and the others don’t comprehend. They didn’t like the Tea Party movement. Boehner attacked the Tea Party movement, was attacked in the pages of the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal. But who cares what they like? These are our children. These are our grandchildren and this is our country who gives a damn what they like. So I hope you’ll head over to Amazon or Barnes and Noble or Wal-Mart or wherever you like to go online and purchase your books. Because we need to hit that mark, we hit that mark. And I feel like we’re on the move big time and I feel like the spontaneity and let me use the Marxist term, the intersectionality of the movement with American markets, Marxism, the book, and we will be back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
Tell you what I said to my wife last night, I have the greatest audience in the world, the greatest people listening to this program in the world. Here we were slipped the numbers, six or seven behind Stacey Abrams and Seth Rogen. Rogen being number five in, Abrams being number eight now. And you people rally. That’s what you do. That’s what we’re going to do. That’s what we’re going to do. I think once you get the book, let me just say this to you. This isn’t a a book that was written in three months. This isn’t a book that was written by coauthors or ghostwriters. This isn’t a book that was researched by a team of people hired by the publisher. I did all of this. I’m the rare author who does. But this book won’t be able to be read in one night or two nights and three nights, this book has to be devoured. Like a good steak, one bite at a time, one chapter at a time, one paragraph at a time, because there’s so much in here that you’re going to need to take the time to digest it. It is brain food. It really is. Because I wrote it, but I reread it and I said, you know what? I think this will do it. I think this will do it. I never, never, as Rush told me first thing, he advised me 20 years ago. Never take your audience for granted and never, ever think your audience is stupid. I have never thought this audience is, that’s for sure. Because you listen. Night in and night out in some of the most heavy discussion on radio anywhere in the country. And I give you kudos, excuse me. I give you kudos for that. It’s not always easy, but I want you to go away with something, not just another slapdash, you know, thought or something like that ripped off from somebody else. And that’s the way these books go. And this is by far, in my opinion, the most important book I’ve ever written. It’s the longest book I’ve ever written because of the. The dire circumstances that we face. That the never Trump is just don’t get. But you do. And as I said, we’re going to have to be able to put aside certain differences with other people. Which Liz Cheney was incapable of doing, Mona Charen is incapable of doing. They want to keep running into walls. Well, we’re not going to follow them. And why would we? They have nothing to offer. And so that’s the purpose here. And I want to thank you, I want to thank you and I want to encourage you to get your preorders. While you can’t early on. The publishing world is watching this, they know what I’m telling you. The book review pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post. They know this is going on. They’re trying to pretend it’s not. At some point, they will strike and we will be ready. I just wanted to thank you and tell you how how proud I am and how kind you are, but we’re going to do this together. We’re going to do this together. We’re going to build this movement and we’re going to do what we need to do. And you’re the Thomas Paine of the modern era. You you’re the Paul Revere’s of the modern era. And 100 hundred years from now, I pray and 200 years from now, your great great grandchildren will be looking back and saying, my family saved this country. I sure as hell hope so. I’ll be right back.
