On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Sha’Carri Richardson is a tremendous asset to the US Olympic Team and was charged with using marijuana, which is legal in many parts, and it’s not even a performance-enhancing drug. She was honest and forthcoming yet she won’t be representing America in the Olympics. She was definitely poised to secure a gold medal, perhaps two. Richardson never turned her back on her country, unlike so many others. Yet our politicians will allow the borders to remain open and organizations like Black Lives Matter to destroy with impunity. Then, Donald Trump announced a federal class-action lawsuit against several tech giants to order an immediate halt to tech companies’ shameful censorship of the American people. Trump’s America First Policy Institute is seeking injunctive relief to restore free speech online. Later, the Democrat Party has become a largely Marxist operation using public education to promote racist propaganda. The NEA and the AFT teacher unions compete over members but they are one and the same – neither wants their members to compete on merit. Our children’s education is jeopardized and it’s entirely funded by the taxpayers through confiscatory taxes. Afterward, Jesse Watters calls in to discuss his new book, How I Saved The World.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
Man, oh, Manischewitz, we have a lot to do. There’s Joe Biden walking to the helicopter. And you know what, Mr. Producer? It looked like he was sort of walking. And the wrong direction there for a while, sort of shuffling along, looking at his feet. Look at this, I’ve got two feet. Yes. Yes, you do, Mr. President. The turns out in Surfside, the condominium collapse is now a recovery mission, which I think we all knew it would be, and I think by the time it’s over. That more than 150 million people would have lost their lives and you have to assume that one of three horrific things happened, they were crushed as the floor dropped on floor, on floor, pancaked with cement, steel, whether we’re burning fires under deep under the building for some time. So smoke inhalation. Or injuries. But really, other than that one young person, I believe was the case, nobody survived. So that was a horrific event, which, by the way, had nothing to do with climate change. These people are just pathetic. It’s thundering. It’s lightning here near the bunker because there’s something going on in the country. Something above is telling us to get our act together here. I believe this. I’m going to comment on something probably doesn’t belong near the top of the show, it’s been going on a while. I’ve kept my mouth shut. People keep asking me about it. So I’m going to comment on it. And some of you will like what I say. Some of you will not. This track star, Sha’Carri Richardson. I’ve never seen anything like her. I watched that race a week or two ago. I watched how after she ran, she had great class, she ran up to the stairs, up the stairs in the stadium. To embrace. Her mother heard her mother who adopted her, not her biological mother. And it turns out that same day or the day before her biological mother passed away. She is a tremendous athlete, a tremendous asset. To the U.S. Olympic team. She’s not protesting, she’s not turning her back on her country on a flag on the national anthem. She’s exceptional. Now, she smoked marijuana. I’ve been looking and looking. We don’t know how much marijuana, we’re not even clear exactly when perhaps before she ran. I’m not sure. Now, I have never smoked marijuana, I have never done drugs. I’ve never wanted to. But I do recall. People making fun of people who use marijuana because it what does it do it? Slows people’s brains, they’re thinking down, you know, hey, dude, remember those jokes, remember those comedians? It’s not like taking steroids in baseball where you’re really muscling up. Like too many athletes do and have, it’s marijuana, which is being. Decriminalized, even legalized in so many places. I’m not going to get into a big marijuana debate here, it’s just not on the top of my list, OK? There’s so many more important things to me. But I look at this in terms of. Fairness. We have people who rioted, who looted, who committed acts of arson, who brutalized their fellow human beings. Our legal system has failed us. We have left wing kook judges, we have saurus prosecutors in the front door, out the back door. The Democrat Party in the media celebrating. We celebrate organizations like Black Lives Matter, which is an anti-Semitic, anti-American, antiwhite Marxist organization. We celebrate, honor, legalize all kinds of crap that goes on in this country. I mean, it’s one strike and you’re out. For this young lady, one strike and you’re out well, mark the rules of the road, I understand. She was kept off that. 400 meter relay. That was two days outside the 30 day suspension. Why did they do that? That was unnecessary. In my opinion. Absolutely unnecessary, in my opinion. Now, she didn’t lie, she didn’t say that she didn’t take the drug in one form or another, she didn’t make. Any dishonest statements? Like so many people do when they’re caught. She was straightforward and forthcoming. Doesn’t that deserve some kind of acknowledgement so everybody’s wringing their hands and they’re saying it’s so sad, but these are the rules, it’s so sad, but these are the rules. We have assaults and murder and mayhem and riot. We have politicians in this country that don’t follow the law. They open the borders. They let aliens come into this country, whether they’re with MS 13 or sexual predators or whatever they are. They violate our immigration laws. They refuse to deport even criminals. And these politicians are well, he’s great, he’s compassionate, he’s humane. And this young lady, what is she, 21 years old? Everybody knows she was going to get a gold medal in the Olympics, everybody, at least one, maybe two. She’s taken responsibility for her actions. It’s a 30 day suspension that happens to overlap with the Tokyo Olympics. This isn’t a race thing like the race nut jobs out there to keep. Keep pushing. Not at all. This isn’t a federal law. Not at all. She’s not putting down her country in any respect, quite the opposite. She’s not lying about anything. Quite the opposite. Extremely forthcoming. I feel sorry for. I feel sorry for her. I really do. And that may surprise you, and that’s the way the cookie crumbles. And. She’s going to be watching the Olympics from the sideline, the fastest runner, female runner on earth. Because she smoked marijuana, right, marijuana, whatever you do with marijuana. And nobody has argued that that improves your ability to run. Does anyone argue that, Mr. Bidis? Because I believe it’s quite the opposite. That’s my understanding. So they took a test like they did with the other competitors. After the run, and she failed. The marijuana use. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
We’re going to have two big announcements in the first hour tomorrow related to the book and you I’m glad when you always join us, but I hope you listen up first hour tomorrow. And I want to thank all the TV shows and TV hosts and all the radio shows and radio hosts who are going to be talking to all over the country. Jeremy Barr, remember that the public face, private looking guy, not saying yes. I said he looks like. I’m sure he’ll be doing a follow up story on all my colleagues at Fox and in talk radio with whom I am buddies and. Just a ton of friends, kind of wonderful people. Right. Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy, you still out there? Jeremy, you still listening? Come on, Jeremy, you in the basement there in your boxer shorts and. Jeremy, I can hear his mother now. Jeremy, come up here, set the table. What’s wrong with you? How many times do I have to tell you, Jeremy, to get up here and set the table? But Ma, don’t call me Ma. Get up here and by the way. It’s late into the evening. I haven’t showered yet. Jeremy, what the hell is wrong? But I’m working on a story now, Jeremy. Jeremy, you told. Jeremy Barr, everybody at The Washington Post, very, very busy writing about the media. But he doesn’t really write about the media, if he were writing about the media to write about his own employer, The Washington Post, or maybe the so-called competition, The New York Times, or maybe how bastardise CNN has become the Constipated News Network or Melasti over. He’s got so much to cover. The former Hollywood Reporter. But nothing. From Jeremy Bar, nobody’s ever heard of Jeremy Boyd, I’m making the full famous they always say, Mr. Wilson, don’t reach down. You ever hear that phrase? I reached down, I reach up. I reach Siwa like Joe Biden. Bottom up. Inside out, middle out, left, out, right up that manner. I almost never pick a fight, but I do reply, I think that’s why I like Trump so much, by the way. I think that’s why I like Trump so much. All right, let’s take let’s and speaking of Donald Trump, boy, was he on a great tear today. He is suing the big. The big oligarchs. You kind of give this man credit, I give him all the credit in the world I love. He just he just keeps finding. Let’s listen to some of this cut seven go today in conjunction with the America First Policy Institute, I’m filing as the lead class representative, a major class action lawsuit against the big tech giants, including Facebook, Google and Twitter, as well as. Is their CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, Sunda Bouchet and Jack Dorsey, three real nice guys. We’re asking the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to order an immediate halt to social media companies, illegal, shameful censorship of the American people. And that’s exactly what they are doing. We’re demanding an end to the chateau, banning a stop to the silencing and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing and canceling that you know so well our case will prove this censorship is unlawful. It’s unconstitutional, and it’s completely un-American. We all know that. We all know that very, very well today. Our filing also seeks injunctive relief to allow prompt restitution and really restoration. And you can name about 20 other things. And it has to be prompt because it’s destroying our country, my accounts. In addition, we are asking the court to impose punitive damages on these social media giants were going to hold big tech very accountable. This is the first of numerous other lawsuits, I assume, that would follow. But this is the lead, and I think it’s going to be a very, very important game changer for our country. It will be a pivotal battle in the defense of the First Amendment. And in the end, I am confident that we will achieve a historic victory for American freedom and at the same time, freedom of speech. Do we have time for cotinine? Let’s go from the very beginning of our nation. Freedom of speech has always been understood as a bedrock of our liberty, liberty and our strength in America. We recognize that the freedom to speak our minds and express the truth. That is our heart, really. That’s really a big chunk of our heart. It is our heart is not granted to us by government. It’s given to us by God. And no one should have the power to take that right away. The founding fathers inscribed this right in the very First Amendment to our Constitution because they knew that free speech is essential to the prevention and look to the prevention of horror and to the preservation of our republic. But remember the words, the prevention of horror, because we’re very close to seeing that now in our country. We’ve never been in a position like this. And it’s all happened very quickly in the words of the father of our country, although some would like to take that title away from him, George Washington, he will not be cancelled. Mm hmm. Cut Ten, go. How do you fight the argument that these are private companies, they can be as liberal as they want to be? Well, they say that they’re private, but they’re no longer private. If they gave up their Section 230 liability protection, I would go along with them and say that private will open up other private and other private will be opened up. I mean, I know that for a fact because I’m involved in that. But I will say that they are they have Section 230. It’s a liability protection, the likes of which nobody in the history of our country has ever received, just a small group and we’re not going to stand for it. And that makes them, in my opinion, very subject to the kind of penalties that we’re talking about. Well said, Mr President. Well said. Thank you. We’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
Well, it’s abundantly clear to anybody with two brain cells to rub together that would exclude Joe Biden and Co. that the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers. Have devolved into diabolical A.I. children, anti-American, pro Democrat Party, largely Marxist operations. And you and I are paying for all of it. They call it public education. And for years and years, we were told that people are underpaid and yet they have the best medical plans on the face of the earth, which include eyeglasses and so forth, the best pension plans on the face of the earth. And the best various step increases and other increases when it comes to salaries. No, I don’t mind true American teachers. Who teach, you know, straight English and math and so forth, getting their due, but I do mind paying propagandists who are dumb as a doorknob. To teach our children radical, Marxist, racist, anti-American propaganda, because so many of them are actually incapable of teaching English and science and mathematics and so forth. These unions have dumbed down American education, they are now destroying and brainwashing our children. They are undermining the country while you and I are paying confiscatory property taxes to fund the whole damn thing. School buildings, school administrators. Teachers, everything that goes along with it, and if you dare to rally and go to these school board meetings, they act like, what are you doing here? And the reason is they’ve had this cabal inside a cocoon going on for decades. For decades, we haven’t known what they’ve done. How do I know what they’re doing? Because I was on a school board for three and a half years as a very young man, and I saw it from the inside. It’s utterly corrupt. The school boards basically work for the teachers union, either because they agree with them ideologically or they’re afraid of a strike or a walkout, and that is the problem with public sector teacher unions. And so we had a caller. And actually, the American Thinker magazine, our Web site. Where this issue was originally brought up almost a month ago on June 15th. And it’s so important and it’s so solid, the recommendation that my colleagues on Fox and I want to congratulate them. Have mentioned it because they’re good listeners. They’re good listeners. I want you to listen to this. Oh, my, I don’t know that we can play the whole thing here. Let’s play the three minute cut of what took place on radio, if you want to hear the whole thing, go back to the Daily Recap on Mark Levin Show website. But let’s just listen to about three, three and a half minutes of this, this is from June 15th, cut one go saw something interesting and the American Thinker Web site, Tollefson site. And he writes, Thanks to Don Surber, who’s a great guy, I learned of a proposal from the Nevada Family Alliance to require teachers at government schools to wear body cameras. Did you hear this, Mr. Richards? If this does not strike you immediately is absolutely necessary. Take a look at this recording and they give examples of a number of teachers. Who are saying things in classrooms that they know they can get away with because they’re not being recorded. I actually think this is a brilliant idea, but I would amend it slightly. Why have body cameras? Every classroom. Should have a camera. Now, you know, this is the kind of out of the box thinking that is very, very important. This is the kind of. Going on offense tactic. That really is. A game changer. Parents have every right to know what their children are being taught, it shouldn’t be guesswork. Taxpayers have every right to know what’s going on in the classrooms that are paying for. We taxpayers, parents or otherwise, are paying for everything related to the government schools, their government schools, public schools. Now, in many cases, we have cameras in the classroom excuse me, cameras in the courtroom, not all, but many. To see what’s taking place in the courtroom, courtrooms are supposed to be public. We don’t have secret trials in this country. Well, why do we have secret classrooms in this country? Why do we have secret classrooms in this country, so I would recommend to the parents organizations in Loudoun County and other counties in this country. You should take up this cause you want to know we want to know we, the people, what’s being taught in these classrooms. We shouldn’t have to guess, we shouldn’t have to be debriefed by hour by hour six and seven and eight year olds. Moreover, the administrators and the teachers shouldn’t be worried about it. In fact, I would argue, much like with body cameras for cops, as people often argued, it’ll help protect the teachers from allegations, all kinds of allegations about the ideological teachings, about rudeness in class, about. Certain kids are misbehaving and had to be removed and so forth. This is a fantastic idea. Again, I wouldn’t have body cameras, but I would have a camera in the classroom. So the parents and taxpayers know what’s going on in these classrooms. Now, I know some of you are patriotic teachers out there and you’re saying, well, gee, a camera, you have nothing to worry about. If you play it straight and you teach math like math and science, like science and history and and so forth, like history, you’ve got nothing to worry about. But if you’re pushing racism, if you’re pushing ideology, if you’re pushing politics, then you do have everything to worry about. This should be a cause I didn’t think of it, I just read it here in The American Thinker and I’m just amending the suggestion. I happen to think the Nevada Family Alliance is right on. Absolutely right on. Now you see how this works and why now? I cite the source. I thank the source, it’s a brilliant idea, I modified the idea from my perspective. And this is what we’re going to do the next several weeks and months ahead as American Marxism becomes available. By the way. Six days. Really, five and a half, but six days officially away, that’s it, six days, I’ll be doing my first major interview with Sean Hannity for his Friday show before the release of the book. I’ll be talking to our buddies at Fox and Friends Sunday before the release of the book. And I’ll be doing Fox and Friends on the morning of the release of the book, and we have other friends, Jessie Waters, Bartolome. Others who have contacted us and we’re very interested in doing it, our friends at the Media Research Center. Our friends at Breitbart. Many others are radio colleagues and affiliates and friends, wonderful hosts all over the country. So he can see how we’re going to build this. How are we going to make the case, anybody who ever says again that critical race theory doesn’t, a Marxist founding will be proven to be a liar? Anybody who says ever again, like the president of the offed, Randi Weingarten, that all they’re teaching is about American history and slavery and so forth will be proven a liar. Anybody who says we’re not teaching critical race theory in our elementary schools will be proven a liar and we are not going to tolerate. These people creating the narrative, lying and so forth. We create the narrative, we show the facts and the truth, and that’s the point of the book American Marxism, and it’s written for each and every one of you. We can read the book, turn to the back of the book, make the case. Now, you’re not going to need to make it. To the outand out Marxists, because they don’t matter. But to your children and grandchildren. Certain family members and friends and colleagues and neighbors. It’s worth the effort. And if these school boards and these unions think they’re going to shut us up, they have. They don’t know lovingness. They don’t know patriots, they know. No red blooded Americans. These people work for us. We’re not there indentured servants who just cough up money every year. Although we’ve become that stay out of the class, you get one minute to talk. Who do you think you are? Getting arrested because you won’t leave the premises while you’re trespassing. They work for us to. We’re not belligerent, we’re not violent, we’re not stealing anything, we’re not burning anything down, we’re not beating up people. Those people. On the hard radical Marxist left. They don’t have anything to fear, do they? But we are law abiding citizens. One minute to speak or you’re going to be arrested on trespass. Oh, really? Oh, yes. Mm hmm. This Randi Weingarten and the AFT and the knucklehead who runs the NEA. They opened the door wide now people who weren’t paying attention to these unions are now with the virus, with the propaganda, with the brainwashing, with the lousy results and science and math and English. They have awakened. The silent majority and not just them. Now we’re going to talk about the other two because there are other threats. Both in the classroom and elsewhere. They have awakened. A sleeping tiger. As one enemy put it once, Yamamoto. Marks comparing this to a war, not a violent war. Not a war of weapons, but a war it is, and they declared it. And they are instituting it. And we are the innocent victims, but not anymore. We’re going to galvanize, we’re going to rally. So who’s negotiating these teacher contracts? What’s in these teacher contracts? Why is this in the teacher contract? Why is that in the teacher contract? We want some input in these teacher contracts. After all, we’re paying for the damn thing. How do they hire teachers? Who’s involved in that process? How did teachers get tenure? Why do they get it after one or two years? What does that come from in the contract? Well, get it out of the contract. Well, we’re not going to do it. The teachers who walk off, they’ve already walked off. We had a full year at the teachers walking off during the pandemic. For the most part, we can handle this. They’re not for the kids we just saw this this unions for themselves. And we pay for every damn part of it, every part of it, your property taxes, you paying a mortgage, you see the amount of money you’re paying on property taxes. 80 cents out of every dollar. Goes to the union members. The employees, 80 cents out of every dollar, pretty much. Across the country that you can’t speak more than a minute now, you have no say what goes on in the classroom, you’re not even allowed to see what goes on in the classroom, this Soviet style. So-called public education that eliminates the public from knowing what the hell is going on must stop and will stop. And the. We don’t need to beg school boards to do what’s right. Begging is those days are over. And it’s not just critical race theory, why are they teaching our kids? The most extreme forms of sex and gender identity, it’s not about equity or equality. These things that go on in the culture overall among adults should not be dragged into elementary school or even high school. That’s not what we pay these schools for. Nor should we. Nor do we pay these schools to attack our constitution, our founding fathers, to destroy our economic system, all this Marxist bull crap. Dressed up as something serious. We’re going to teach American history, by golly, you’re not teaching American history, you’re teaching Americans to hate their history. And I don’t need some union thug boss like Randi Weingarten, who has an I.Q. of about negative forty three who’s fat and happy in her chair day in and day out telling me crap and that those were the same as the head of the National Education Association. Who the hell elected her? Did you. Now, we didn’t. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
You know, I don’t need political hacks, hosts, people who run websites like Axios telling us about critical race theory, whether it exists, it’s of being taught in our schools. We’re going to have to get a different, you know, sort of mindset here. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot allow the people who promote this stuff and promote all these different types of radical movements to define for us what we’re hearing, what we’re seeing, what we know to be true. They are irrelevant. They are they are noise. They are dishonest, they are corrupt. And I have a whole section in the back of the book on them and big tech. There’s things you can do in your own lives, the smallest of things that can make a difference. I would be subsidizing AT&T anymore if I were you. Oh, yes. And again, in the back of the book, we have a whole section, what do we do about these corporations? What do we do about big tech, what do we do about big media? What do we do about colleges and universities? What do we do about public government schools? I have a lot of ideas, but you know what? You probably have a lot of ideas, too. And that’s one of the things we’re going to do here. It’s called being interactive. We’re going to have a blast and hopefully we’re going to see some things change. I’ll be right back.
