WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 16: President Joe Biden, center, hands the pen used to sign H.R. 5376, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law, to Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) in the State Dining Room of the White House on Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2022 in Washington, DC.

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Biden signed the putrid, massive spending bill today known as the Inflation Reduction Act which will not ease inflation but add to it. This fractures the connection between the individual citizen and their government in a way that empowers the bureaucrats and weakens the people. This bill will add to the deficit and further hurt the struggling U.S energy industry. Biden will subsidize illegal immigration, the industry-crushing Green New Deal, and pitch this bill as a win for Democrats and a detriment for Republicans that voted against it. Then, the DOJ has admitted to an “over-collection of evidence” which is their admission to violating the Constitution. Former FBI Assistant Director Kevin Brock has gone on the record criticizing the FBI for operating outside the scope of the warrant and intentionally violating or disregarding Trump’s 4th Amendment rights. Later, James O’Keefe calls in to discuss how a source within the U.S Department of Homeland Security reported to Project Veritas that government will list individuals that question the raid on Trump’s home or the outcome of the 2020 election as Domestic Violent Extremists or DVEs. Project Veritas was also raided by the FBI last year for their journalism, that’s something that has never happened in American history. Afterward, Donald Trump Jr. joins the show to discuss the unequal application of the law. Don Jr cited how the once great federal law enforcement in our country has been weaponized against the people. Don Jr blasted Merrick Garland for calling for transparency while sealing the warrant and hiding it from the public and using the media as a mouthpiece to deceive the public.

Rough transcript of Hour 1

Hour 1 Segment 1

So Joe Biden signed. His putrid law that he’s been pushing
51 to 50 in the Senate, 220 to 217 in the House, let there be no mistake. That
every Democrat voted for it, every Republican voted against it. This is a
massive spending bill, further destroying our energy independence, further
destroying our fossil fuel industry. Further subsidizing billionaires and
millionaires and corporations while they pretend that they care about the
little guy. The Inflation Reduction Act has nothing to do with reducing
inflation. Another lie, another distortion and perversion of the English
language. We’ve reached a point in this country, it’s not new, but it’s gotten
ridiculous. We’re passing laws that fundamentally alter the relationship
between the individual citizen and their government. In a way, in a way that is
detrimental to the individual citizen and empowers the government. It’s
celebrated. Is considered progress. Fundamentally altering the country. That’s
an achievement. Attacking our economic system, attacking the fossil fuel
system, attacking our drug industry. Attacking our our baby formula industry,
our meat processing industry. Attacking our sovereignty by refusing to secure
the borders. Attacking our constitutional system, separation of powers, the
Supreme Court, Supreme Court justices. This is progress aborning, more babies
and aborting them on demand and aborting them, even though the science says
they’re actually human beings. That’s progress. That’s a civil right. And
that’s where we are. Joe Biden is now going to travel the country. Talking about
how the Republicans who voted against this monstrosity are actually for the
special interests. He’s the one subsidize the oligarchs big tech in Silicon
Valley. He’s the one subsidizing the teachers unions against the parents and
the children. He’s the one subsidizing these massive non-profit Democrat slash
Marxist organizations to bring endless lawsuits. He’s the one subsidizing
illegal immigration. He’s the one subsidizing communist China. By forcing you
to purchase electric vehicles that have batteries that require cobalt, 70
percent of which is produced in Congo, one hundred of that, 70 percent. One
hundred percent. Controlled by the Democrats, excuse me. Yes, communist Chinese
Democrats, what’s the difference? Time to celebrate progress. He’s been dying
to sign this thing. The stupidest man to ever serve in the Senate, the
stupidest man ever be vice president, and now the stupidest man to ever be
president. Has his hand around the throat of the golden goose. When things go
south, when they go sour, he blames Putin. Big oil. Big capitalism. But when
things seem to be going going better. By his view. He takes all the credit. His
plan did this and what is his plan to spend and choose to spend and borrow and
tax like a drunken Marxist? That’s what he does. And he expects you to vote for
him and vote for his party because he’s for the little guy, can’t you tell?
You’ve been to a grocery store lately, he’s for a little guy. You have a baby
that uses formula. He’s for the little guy. When do you go to your school
board, when school starts again, it just did for many. And you you dared to
speak out and its attorney general target you with the FBI. It’s for the little
guy, don’t you know? It’s for the little guy, the middle class, hard working
Americans, which is why two million illegal aliens are going to cross the
border this year alone. For the little guy. Twi is going to unleash eighty
seven thousand new IRS agents against you, they’re not needed for 700
billionaires. They’re needed for you where the low hanging fruit and he intends
to picket small businesses. Middle class Americans. The overwhelming majority
of audits have been done against you in the first place, you’d think they’re
going to stop. And what about inflation, not only does this thing not. Address
inflation in any positive way. It adds to it in the last 30 to 40 days. The
Democrats in Congress have spent another trillion dollars. Another trillion
dollars. You don’t think that’s going to catch up with the economy? You think
the economy can be legislated away? They pass a law that fixes things. They
pass laws and it destroys things, there’s a reason why the Constitution places
limits on the federal government and on each branch of the federal government.
There’s a reason why I say we live in a post constitutional America. What kind
of Congress has the power? To manipulate our lives this way, a bureaucracy, a
president. To manipulate our lives this way. The question isn’t what are the
limits on government? The question today is. But aren’t the limits? They’re
involved in everything, employment. Unemployment. Pensions. Food, the air, the
water, what goes in your house, what goes on your house where you can build
your house? Your car there now, engineers, your truck, your boat. What else,
everything. There are even stickers on your washing machine, your dryer, your
washer government approved, your light bulbs, your ladder’s. The tires on your
car, the engine in your car, the parts to your car, the paint, the roofing, the
government, what goes into your car in terms of gasoline, whether it has
ethanol or not? Oh, yes. Everything. Everywhere. What else? Government is the
biggest landholder, it’s the biggest leaser, it’s the biggest insurer. It’s the
biggest employer. It’s the biggest employee. It’s got more weapons than the
private sector. The government is massive. What isn’t the government involved
in? Oh, yes, and it’s all good, all righteous. All to the positive have to
control the people, have to control these private companies, have to take
control, entrepreneurs have to control thought, have to control discussions,
have to control competition. Have to get everything in any one out of the way
of the government’s mission. Another omnibus bill. With ominous outcomes. More
spending, more borrowing, more debt or massive interest? More redistribution of
wealth, more war. On one part of the private sector or another. My people, for
the most part, who’ve never worked in the private sector. I’ve never succeeded.
In the private sector. What they wish to control it. And yet, if we had to rely
on the government for water. We would die. If we had to rely on the government
for food, we would starve to death. We had to rely on the government for
housing, we’d freeze to death in the winter. We had to rely on the government for
our sustenance. There would be no sustenance. We are now the servants of the
government. There are no more government servants, we’re the servants of the
government. That’s where we are. And now law enforcement is being used. Law
enforcement is being used. Trying to force the will of the ruling class. People
are actually starting to ask questions now about this warrant that was used
against President Trump was a too broad you don’t say. I wonder where they
heard that. Or that the grabbing of all the documents and so forth at a Mar a
Lago. Seems to be unconstitutional. You don’t say or that, of course, no
president’s ever been charged with violating the Espionage Act. We’ve never
gone here before. This raises serious constitutional questions. Really, where
did you hear that before? What did you hear that before? I went January six.
It’s supposed to be the worst day in America. No, it’s not the worst day in
America. That’s right. And where is the line? Between challenging an election,
whether you choose different electors, whether you raise questions in Georgia,
whether you encourage a secretary of state to make recounts between politics
and criminality. We’ve never done this before. It’s all brand new. U.S.
attorney. Biden appointee, Attorney General, Biden appointee, deputy attorney
general, Biden appointee, associate attorney general, Biden appointee, head of
the criminal division, Biden appointee. D.A. in Atlanta, Democrat, attorney
general in Albany, Democrat. The January six committee, Nancy Pelosi, Democrat,
that’s her committee. The Democrat Party hates America. That’s why bills like
this, this omnibus ominous bill is pushed through in a week to 10 days time
before the people can tell their representatives what they think about. Why the
borders open, even though the people don’t want the border open? It doesn’t
matter what the people want. It’s a farce. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 2

Donald Trump Jr. will be on the program an our three, and I
believe he’s spoken out yet since the attack on Mar a Lago, they don’t like the
word raid. How about attack, Mr. Producer? The attack on Mar a Lago. I want to
thank all of you in this listening audience, all you live in ites for watching
life, liberty and love. In this Sunday, 8:00 p.m. Eastern, this past Sunday, we
were number one on all of cable news for the entire weekend. An amazing almost
two point two million viewers on a Sunday at 8:00 p.m. up against. Pre-season
football is unheard of, but that’s because of you. And the fantastic guests that
I have on this program. And this has become a fairly regular occurrence because
of you, because you watch it almost religiously, you recorded on your DVR just
in case you won’t be there. And I just want to tell you, we very much
appreciate that, and as long as you keep watching, I’ll keep doing it. So I
want to also thank the staff and the crew Life, Liberty and in. All the
congratulations, Mr. Producer, that poured in from Fox as we do this on a
fairly regular basis. So many congratulations, I don’t know what to do, Mr.
Producer, my texts. Emails, Western Union. No, I’m just kidding, just kidding.
Over just the news, boomerang Department of Justice admission it over collected
evidence and Trump raid creates new legal drama. Ladies and gentlemen, stick
with us here, as do the legal analysts and various platforms and so forth. They
follow what we say here, three passports, privilege documents, a file on a
presidential pardon as evidence services about what FBI agents seized during
the raid. Now, the attack on former President Donald Trump’s estate of Mar a
Lago. New questions about what took place surface. The Department of Justice
informed Trump’s team Monday that agents gathered the former president’s
passports, by the way, CBS News announced that that was fake. Of course, CBS
News is fake and are obligated to return them and that officials are also
reviewing seized materials that may be covered by various privileges. Multiple
sources told just the news. Where did you hear that first about attorney client
privilege? DOJ has designated a process for separating materials that could be
covered by executive privilege or attorney client privilege and hopes to return
such memos to Trump within a couple of weeks. I would say to President Trump’s
lawyers. I hope you’re listening very carefully. I hope you’re taking notes
about what’s going on. You can challenge the original subpoena. You can
challenge what was taken. Much of it may have been tainted. You can challenge
the application of the Espionage Act against a president who removed documents
and took them to Mar a Lago. But when he removed them, he was president. I’ll
be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 3

Ladies and gentlemen, we spent a good chunk of yesterday
talking about general warrants, writs of assistance, but general warrants. I
like that better. And what was issued by this master in Florida was a general
warrant was approved, was a general warrant. What was executed was a general
warrant by the Biden administration. I don’t want to go over all that territory
again, although people come and go when it comes to radio and TV. But a general
warrant and now they admit that is the government that it over collected
evidence. Now, that’s a very passive phrase, isn’t it? Over collected evidence,
over collected evidence. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the warrant itself was so
broad you could drive a dump truck through a. So much for judicial review and
oversight. Basically, any document. Or anything. That President Trump may have
touched or read. It was read to him or received, whether he read it or not,
while he was president of the United States. It’s not enough to say, oh, look
at this, the Espionage Act and we have the obstruction law and we have the.
Which don’t even apply. But still. Let’s see, item see. Which gave the FBI, the
federal government, the power. That doesn’t belong to the federal government
under the Constitution. Grab everything in sight. That is exactly what the FBI
did. And now they talk about. Over collection. They over collected evidence,
Mr. Producer. Have you ever heard of that phrase over collected? They broke the
law, they violated the Constitution. That’s what they did. They didn’t over
collect. They seized paper. Things. From a former president for which they had
no legal authority, no constitutional authority, and the judge had no
authority, by the way. To approve of that particular warrant. Judges, believe
it or not, they have to follow the Constitution as well. Kevin Brock, who
served as FBI assistant director for intelligence that’s a senior position
under former Director Robert Mueller, said the new revelations raise legitimate
questions. About over a collection of evidence that could lead to a significant
legal challenge. Trump lawyers are weighing whether to ask a federal court to
name a special master to review sensitive documents to protect the president’s
Fourth Amendment executive and attorney client privilege, as they suggested
this to Trump’s lawyers, to the Department of Justice and Merrick Garland blew
them off. Now, let’s spend a footnote amount of time on this. Merrick Garland
is the handpicked attorney general of Joe Biden, Joe Biden, who is a politician
who wants to seek re-election. Merrick Garland should not even be involved in
this. He should have recused himself a long time ago. He has the greatest
conflict of interest probably in modern American history. But so what he says,
and now I won’t allow. A special master to review the sensitive documents and
protect the president’s. Fourth Amendment rights against an unreasonable search
and seizure. Or as executive, an attorney client privilege documents, we have
our own methodology here in the United States Department of Justice, we build
this phony wall between sets of lawyers and they’ll go through it. We just over
collected that, so we just decided to take a peek in the first lady’s closet.
We just decided to grab everything in sight. Even though we’d been there two
months earlier and we pretty much knew where the classified information was.
But of course, this was a back door effort, as I’ve said, over and over and
over again in the back benchers regurgitate. To go after January six and
anything else they can. So Mr Brock, again, who served as the FBI assistant
director for intelligence, big job under Mueller, he says Trump’s attorneys
could have a runway to argue the scope of the search is overly broad. What did
you hear that before, Mr. Producer, search warrants normally require level of specificity
that seems to be missing in this warrant. Specificity is important in order to
protect Fourth Amendment rights from exuberant government overreach designed to
find whatever they can. Wow. I want to salute Kevin Brock. Former FBI assistant
director for intelligence for being courageous enough to speak out. The legal
analysts are almost there. I heard a couple of them today, they’re almost
there. Brock said he was particularly troubled FBI agents felt comfortable
seizing a record of Trump’s pardon of longtime friend Roger Stone. Which the
bureau disclosed in court documents, he said it suggested the raid may have
something more to do with the January six capital reapproach, where Stone has
been a figure of interest in an investigation into classified records. Where
have you heard that before, Mr. Producer? You heard that, of course, an hour
two of my radio show when this first broke. On a Monday, August 8th, presidents
authority to grant pardon and clemency is clear, but what isn’t clear, he says,
is why the retention of a clemency order would be considered illegal. Brock
said the fact that it’s highlighted on the receipt list and that it has to do
with Stone will likely provide ammunition to Republicans who are asserting that
the search was less about a document dispute and more about a hunt for
derogatory January six information. And the revelations came on a day when
Department of Justice also oppose requests to unseal the FBI affidavit
explaining the motive for the search, arguing such a move could imperil this
and other investigations. No, they prefer to leak. Selectively leak, cherry
pick and lie. Remember the first leak to Newsweek that Garland didn’t know
about it? Oops. Now remember the leak to The Washington Post that it was
nuclear related? Oops. It’s a fishing expedition. And Brock agreed that the
search warrant included a stunningly broad scope of targeted evidence and
wanted and warned it could be a chilling effect on past and future presidents.
And this is what the Democrats, the media, Biden and the rest don’t give a damn
about. This apparently makes a novel legal assertion that any presidential
record kept by former president. Is against the law, you have to wonder what
the other living former presidents think about that. They have the right and
apparently clear desire to remain silent. I brought that up as well. This guy
Sharp. Good listener. What does Obama have in as many mansions? We’re going to
take his word for it. What does George Bush have? We’re going to take his word
for it. What does Dick Cheney have? We’re going to take his word for it. What’s
in Rehoboth Beach? And elsewhere in Wilmington, we’re going to take Biden’s
word for it. Going to take Obama’s word for it, you get my point, America. We
have no idea what they have. Whatever they say is of no consequence. The
archives didn’t give a damn. They didn’t make any referrals to the Department
of Justice to look into anything. This is a big deal. And the legal analysts
are only now touching on it. The legal analysts we’re getting caught up in the
former federal prosecutor and federal prosecutor mindset. This isn’t about
former federal prosecutors and their experiences is about the Constitution. And
whether they understand it. The Espionage Act cannot be applied against a
former president who removes documents, something he did when he is president.
He has plenary power, whether people like it or not, that law was passed in
1978, Presidential Records Act was passed in 1978. That’s the truth. That’s
where we are. Oh, they over collected evidence, they have many grounds for
attacking this, do the Trump lawyers. I saw and I believe I heard. Exactly that
Jim Trusty. Is now part of the Trump legal team, Jim Trusty is a former federal
prosecutor, but this is a very sharp man. I don’t know him personally. But I’ve
watched his commentary on Fox from time to time when I catch it. He sounds like
a man who knows exactly what the hell he’s talking about. And I’ve always been
impressed with the. And I’m sure Mr. Trusty knows as much as I do in this sense.
Particularly since I’m saying it. The Espionage Act is inapplicable, that’s why
it’s never been used against former presidents. That’s why we don’t raid the
homes of former presidents on the say so of anybody. That’s why a search
warrant has never been issued against a former president. Because we’re going
to wound up with a president’s prison. And just so you know, the violation of
the Espionage Act is a lot it’s a lot softer trigger than people are
suggesting. If you take a document home. That has a super duper secret folder
on top of it. That’s a violation of the Espionage Act. Your home is not secure.
The transport from the office to your home is not secure. That document is
supposed to go back into the vault. What do you think of that? How many presidents
have done that? How many secretaries of state, how many secretaries of defense?
Probably the whole damn cabinet more when I return. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 4

Many of you in this audience, you’re going to be targeted.
Many of you I love the way the Democrats say if you’re innocent, you have
nothing to fear. So that sound like something that would be said by a fascist
or a Marxist. Or maybe set in German with a German accent, Mr. Producer
tyrannis, you have nothing to fear. Let us search your house. Let us look in
your. And you’re safe in your vault. Oh, yes, nothing to fear. Did you report
the right things? Well, I think I did. Section 20, 15, subsection 48. Roman
one. Section eight, subsection triply footnote eight. You violated the Internal
Revenue Code. Now you’re guilty until proven innocent. You’re guilty until
proven innocent. Well, I did the very best I could, I hired a CPA, it doesn’t
matter. Did you sign your tax return? Yes. You know, you signed it under
penalty of perjury. Well, I kind of had to I had to pay my yes. You did. You
committed perjury. What are you talking about? I didn’t mean you committed
perjury. Right here you sign it here. Is that your signature? It’s my
signature, but no buts. Now, here’s a deal. We’re going to turn this over to.
The tax division, the Department of Justice, to prosecute you. You owe us the
moneys that you obviously concealed. I didn’t conceal excuse us, we’re
speaking. You’re going to pay us the money you concealed. Plus penalties plus
interest on the penalties. I don’t have that kind of money. Of course you
don’t. We don’t have a debtor’s prison, but we have something similar to it.
You can rot in prison. But you can plead to a crime I don’t want to plead to a
crime. Oh, yes. Now we’ll work out a payment plan for you, a payment plan. The
payment plate, yes, a payment plan. You’re going to ruin my credit, you’re
going to ruin my life, you’re going to destroy my business, a payment plan?
That’s correct. That’s exactly what we’re going to do. And what are you going
to do about it? That’s exactly what they’ve done to the CEO of the Trump
Enterprises in New York, who’s now reports have it thinking of a plea
agreement. Because they’re throwing the book at him, he’s an older man. He
doesn’t want to go to prison for 20 years and he has to make a decision. Am I
tried in front of a Democrat jury that hates President Trump and hates the
Trump organization and therefore will hate me? I plead guilty to something just
like many of the January six prisoners. I’ll be right back.
