On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the economy is not recovering, inflation is still here. Core prices continue to go up and salaries and pensions are not keeping up. Meanwhile, Harris has raked in $1 billion into her campaign. Some billionaires and politicians get extremely rich as the government gets bigger and more centralized – like George Soros. This Democrat Party is all about power, they want to create a monopoly party to change America. When you look at heavily centralized governments, it’s usually a curtain to hide their real motives – power. They want to use the government to enrich themselves. Also, Hurricane Milton could have been a lot worse, but it was horrific for those who lost loved ones. Florida is lucky to have DeSantis and his team. Look at how this hurricane was treated vs North Carolina and Hurricane Helene; you can see the difference in leadership. President Biden, Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas did not treat Hurricane Helene seriously enough and that’s why it was a bigger disaster than it needed to be. Later, First Lady Melania Trump calls in to discuss her new book – Melania. She explains her childhood growing up in Slovenia under communism and making her way to America, where she met Donald Trump in a chance encounter. She opens up about the attacks on her husband, the shocking July 13th assassination attempt, and the disturbing FBI raid on Mar-A-Lago. Finally, Sen Rick Scott calls in with an update on the damage from Hurricane Milton and his race for the Senate in Florida.

Rough transcription of Hour 1
Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. In hour two, our guest will be Melania Trump and hour three our guest will be Senator Rick Scott of Florida. We’ll get a rundown from him on what’s taking place. We’ve not been able to reach Governor DeSantis as he’s very, very busy, obviously, so. Now the Hurricane Milton. Obviously could have been a lot worse. But for people who have lost family members or pets or homes, it was horrific. It’s going to cost a lot of money. It’s very interesting. These tornadoes on the east coast of Florida. I’ll tell you what’s interesting. Off the air, I would ask individuals, experts now when this air comes through on the West Coast. The East Coast, what happens there? And we didn’t get much input. Didn’t get much input at all. But I seem to remember from past hurricanes, things do happen on the other coast when a hurricane kind of not necessarily cuts all the way through, but starts working its way up the coast. Now where our home is located. In Martin County, Florida. It turned out that there are a lot of little tornadoes. And same with Palm Beach County, just south of Martin County. Palm Beach Gardens. Up near Stuart, Florida, in Martin County. He told you on the air last night that somebody sent me a video of a tornado that actually went across A1, a an I-95. Which goes north, south or south? North. Hillary Look at it. Up the Florida coast. So far, they’ve been able to determine ten people have died. Five of whom died from tornadoes. I suspect that number will go up in terms of the total number of people. Ford is very lucky to have this Governor DeSantis. The team that he has, I mean, they’re in there now. They’re cleaning up. They’re up in the major roads. He’s got all kinds of programs, all kinds of personnel on the scene. It’s quite remarkable, I think. He approaches it. And I don’t know, this is almost a military operation. And I think that’s very wise. And I have to say, when you compare this to the way Hurricane Helene was treated, particularly in North Carolina. You can see the difference. Between leadership and non leadership. Every hurricane is not the same. Every situation is not the same. The mountain communities or the rural communities in western North Carolina, it’s much harder to get to them. I do understand that. But I want to make something abundantly clear. Politics aside, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Secretary Mayorkas did not treat Hurricane Helene. Seriously enough, early enough. They did not focus on it. And that’s why it was even a bigger disaster and it needed to be. That’s why it was even a bigger disaster than it needed to be. And these personal attacks by Joe Biden that Trump is an American get a life. By Kamala Harris and so forth. The suggested tended to camouflage their own incompetence, and I might add, laziness. It’s not a coincidence. It’s not a mistake. He was there in Rehoboth Beach. He knew this hurricane was coming, the first one. And she was out there raising more money. She’s got over $1,000,000,000 now. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it in Hollywood and L.A. and Las Vegas. It was neither was necessary. She didn’t attend a single pre-hurricane meeting. I’ve told you this over and over again because I want to get it out there. Some people are starting to understand this. And so when they say it is misinformation, a point these things out. And when they say you’re you’re causing deaths to point these things out, and when they’re saying you’re causing people not to seek help. When you point these things out, that is a lie. We have every right to criticize the government and that includes this regime. When they fail the people of the United States, and that’s exactly what they’ve done, just like they’ve done on the border for four straight damn years. Of course, it needs to be pointed out now more than ever, we have an election coming up. Oh, that. You playing politics? No. Now’s the chance you have to change the government or you don’t. She keeps talking about an opportunity economy. She is talking about turning the page. She keeps talking about the future. She keeps talking about joy. She’s none of those things. None of those things matter to her. She’s talking about herself, her future. She has absolutely nothing to offer this country. Nothing. And Biden has been a screw up from the day he entered the Oval Office. A screw up with Afghanistan, with Russia and Ukraine, certainly with the Middle East and Israel on the border. On the economy. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something you’re not hearing today. Ready for this one. This is Associated Press. U.S. jobless claims hit 258,000, the most in a year. Analysts point to Hurricane Helene and the Boeing strike. That’s not it. Hurricane Helene just hit. That’s not it. The Boeing strike. Well, these strikes all the time. The fact of the matter is the economy is not recovering. The propaganda from the media in Washington and the Democrat Party, it’s constant. It’s constant. It’s not reality. It’s not what people feel. It’s not what people know. U.S. jobless claims the most in a year. Got that? The most in a year. Then there’s this. Then nobody’s reporting. Inflation rises 2.4% in September, above expectations. Above expectations. Inflation is still here. And it’s going to get worse. Jobless claims are up the most in a year. The most in a year. And so you have core prices. Gasoline. Food. Things that you need. They’re continuing to go up. Your incomes and your salaries and your pensions are not keeping up because of inflation. And that’s the truth. High inflation has created severe financial pressures for most U.S. households, which are forced to pay more for everyday necessities like food and rent. Price hikes are particularly devastating for lower income Americans because they tend to spend more their already stretched paycheck on necessities and therefore have less flexibility to save. So who is it? Why is it that $1 billion comes into the Kamala Harris campaign? Those aren’t small donations. And the political action committees. Very wealthy people. What is it? I’m going to tell you what it is. Some people get extremely rich and even powerful. As the government gets bigger and bigger and bigger and more and more centralized like George Soros, George Soros just picked up 220 radio stations for a song. The FCC, The Democrats. They let him by audacity. Using over 25% foreign money. That sets off alarms at the FCC. Historically, there is a procedure in place that was put there for a reason to have a national security review of this investment. They bypassed that. They eliminated it. And they handed them as 220 radio stations. That’s why George Soros is a leftist, because he’s become a billionaire, a multibillionaire at a big government, centralized police state leftism. He’s not a capitalist. He’s not a capitalist. So a lot of billionaires, they don’t make money off of capitalism, off of market economics, because they’ve developed things or invented things. It always strikes me that there’s so many billionaires and you ask them what they do and they say finances. What does that mean? Let me know what that finances. You’re so brilliant. You’re advising people on how to invest. So only so many ways to invest. But the Democrat Party is filled. With what I call corporatists, these corporatists who live off of economic socialism, who live off of big government. They become the sugar daddies of the Democrat Party and the Democrat Party machine and the Democrat Party campaigns. That’s what’s going on. Kamala Harris does not have any capitalist private sector free market proposals, still handing people $25,000, handing people $50,000, handing people student loan forgiveness. Now. Economically, you’d be talking about tax cuts and regulatory cuts. She has no tax cuts or regulatory cuts on the table. She wants to nationalize health care. And if she’s elected, that’s exactly what they’re going to push through. They want to destroy the Electoral College. So they have all kinds of power. Why? Because there will be campaigns and the campaigns will be in 11 blue states, mostly in the cities. None of us will have representation. That’s why they want to eliminate the Electoral College, to destroy what is and what was a compromise at the beginning of this republic to make sure small states and large, heavily populated states and states, not heavily populated states, they grow our food and find our oil. Aren’t left out of the mix. So they want to destroy it. And they say, what’s the popular vote? Don’t you believe in a popular vote? No, not when it’s mob ocracy. Mob ocracy. So they want to fix the system. And I don’t mean reform it, fix it so they can never lose. They want to add Puerto Rico as a state and D.C. as a state. That’s for Democrats. Fix the system so the Republicans can never win the Senate. They want to eliminate the filibuster. Why? So they can ram these things through. Just by having. A one time majority. Because you can’t reverse these things. They want to destroy the independence of the Supreme Court, expand its numbers and pack it with ideologues, turn it into a Politburo. They’ve already in many ways destroyed our voting system and they want to destroy it even further. They want to eliminate what they called gerrymandering, which is a pejorative that’s used for states. The Republicans control the state They try and adjust every ten years based on the census. They congressional districts. No, no, no, no. They want to do it in a way where they never lose. Or they never lose. These people are about power. And I see Elon Musk has picked up on something I’ve been saying and writing about for years. What’s happening right now. And by the way, I’m glad I want people to repeat these things. I want people to understand them and think about them. That’s a good thing. They want to create a party monopoly in the Democrat Party. I’ve written about it, and the Democrat Party hates America. I’ve written about it in American Marxism. I’ve talked about it for 20 some years here and elsewhere. If they had the monopoly party. They had the monopoly party like they do in California. They have elections statewide, but they don’t really matter. You can see it happening in places like Illinois. And others. My point is, the monopoly party wants power. They’re power hungry. They want control. And the Democrat Party wants this power. And it wants this power to change America, to change the face of America, to change the culture of America, that change the economic system in America. And yes, go through the motions of voting. But have their masterminds something they have dreamt about and written about for 120 years since the early progressives, the progeny of Marx, American Marxism. They want their so-called experts, the so-called masterminds, to make to say, oh, we’ll go through the voting system. Oh, yes, we’ll go through it, but we’ll make sure that only we win and that only we are empowered. We’ll go through that system. Big deal. What I call the Potemkin voting system, meaning voting vote is a phony. Well, sure, we’ll go through that system. The borders are wide open to reshape the electorate. That’s a quote from The New York Times. It’s something I’ve been saying for 20 years and I’ve been attacked viciously. Oh, replacement theory. It’s not a theory. It’s reality. And AOC and Bernie Sanders said it. They don’t realize they said it, but they said it. If we can beat Ted Cruz in Texas, we can turn Texas purple to blue. We’ll control electoral politics for a generation. Actually, they’ll control it forever. They know exactly what they’re doing. This is what they’re doing. This is who they are. So these multibillionaires who become multi multibillionaires when the Democrats are in power, look at Obama. He’s worth a quarter of $1,000,000,000. Look at Gore as dumb as they come. Where? $200 million. How they’re rewarded. They’re rewarded by the oligarchs and the billionaires and the corporatists when they leave office. It’s a klepto society, if you will, with the rich and the rich and the super rich and rich. Look, I don’t mind people getting rich legitimately.
Segment 2
Sorry we had a little technical problem there, but the point is a very, very important one. The Kamala Harris that’s being presented to the American people isn’t the real Kamala Harris. And I’m going to spend time on this a lot of time on my opening statement Saturday on Life, Liberty and Levin. And we have two great guests, Ted Cruz and the former ambassador to Israel from the United States, David Friedman. So I hope you’ll watch that. But I’m spending a lot of time on her. The real Kamala Harris, the person who is vicious and brutal and foul mouth to her staff and can’t keep staff, the Kamala Harris, who is a radical leftist and none of this flip flop. I think Republicans have made a mistake saying it’s flip flopping. She’s not flip flopping. She’s the real deal. She’s not bright. That’s why they hired her as much as they can. She can’t complete her thoughts and can’t complete her sentences. She’s been climbing the ladder since she was a young lady, really doing almost anything she needed to be. D.A., Attorney general, senator, vice president, now president. These oligarchs, special interests, the Democrat ruling class in some of the Never Trumpers we’ve thrown in with them. They don’t really care about the country. They want this party, Democrat party, to be the vessel through which they operate, to keep handing them more and more industries and handing them more and more of your tax dollars. I’ll be back.
Segment 3
So Barack Obama is being called in to campaign in Pennsylvania, western Pennsylvania, around Pittsburgh and so forth. They hope they can run the numbers up there. I would just ask the people in that part of our country, in my state of Pennsylvania, don’t you get sick and tired of these? All politicians, quasi Hollywood type politicians dropping in and telling you who to vote for. What does Barack Obama have in common with anybody in western Pennsylvania right now? Guy’s got five homes. They’re all mansions. He’s made a fortune since he’s left the presidency. And he just shows up. Shows up because he’s, you know, he just so cool. He just so persuasive. And he’ll go there and he’ll attack Trump and he’ll make jokes and he’ll fill his ego and all the rest of. Even think back to his presidency. What the hell did he do for the African-American community? Literally nothing. And what did he do? When it came to the hardworking men and women in fracking and steel in coal. He attacked you. He tried to put you out of business. That’s what he did. I just want you to remember this. Barack Obama is enormously popular among the rich and the beautiful in Hollywood. At Martha’s Vineyard. Among the rich. And Hyde Park area. That’s it. It doesn’t go back to communities that really need help. Doesn’t go to Newark, New Jersey, or Camden, New Jersey, places I’m familiar with. He doesn’t go to. To communities. I really have a tough right now. Some presidents leave office. And they really contribute in a big way to certain aspects of our society, things that interest them. Obama is not one of them. He’s not one of them. I hope what I’m saying is resonating is understandable sometimes. You know, I wonder, but I’m I just want to explain this. When you look at these various centralized governments, heavily centralized governments, people can say whatever they want there for the people. Equity, equality, we’ve heard it all. But usually it is a it’s a curtain to hide their real motives and the real interest, which is power. These people are power hungry. And they want to use the government to enrich themselves. Barack Obama has never invented anything. He’s never produced anything. Neither is Michelle Obama. There were tens of millions of dollars. Al Gore has never invented anything. He’s never created anything. He’s never developed anything. He’s worth tens of millions of dollars and they become this rich after they left office. They had power. If Al Gore hadn’t been a vice president or a senator, he’d never be this wealthy. Barack Obama, the community activist. If he hadn’t been a senator and president, he’d never be this wealthy. They need government to get rich. Same with Biden. Pain would be probably a single attorney. With a shingle hanging out, handling divorce cases. I’m just guessing. But that’s about it. Not there’s anything wrong with it. But he wouldn’t be where he is today. So these people, first they seek power, then they seek wealth, and then they have power and wealth and they reward their allies. Like George Soros was just awarded with 220 radio stations. They create solar energy. We need solar energy. But it just so happens that their buddies get. Extremely rich. Of a solar energy. And they destroy the competition. So we’ll put the the oil rigs out of business will stop the fracking. What? Yes. So big centralized government isn’t about the little guy. It’s not about we the people. It’s not about economic competition. It’s not about equality. Or equity or any of it. Castro. Castro lived like a multi-millionaire while his people were starving to death. Mao. Mao had women. All the food he wanted. He got fat. He got sick. He lived like a billionaire while this people were suffering all over North Korea like his dad and his grandfather. People are eating grass. They’re eating bugs. They have no life. They have no hope. They have not nothing. But he lives like a billionaire. Gee, Communist China, anything he wants, he gets everything he wants. He gets. They’re not about the people. They’re not Mahatma Gandhi. They’re not. They’re not anything like this. Putin, same thing. Obviously different types of tyranny. Some are more aggressive and violent than others. But same in our country. Except for Donald Trump. He comes into office a billionaire. He didn’t become a billionaire of politics. He didn’t become a billionaire because of some program that was created. To help enrich him is a builder, a developer. He built an entire skyline. And of course, they attack him. He’s a billionaire. You know, Kamala Harris, she came from a middle class family. First of all, she didn’t she’s a liar. Both her parents were tenured professors. She worked at McDonald’s. She can’t even prove it. And when you raise it. Oh, yes, she did. Oh, no, she didn’t. Yes, she did. Okay. Where? When? But it doesn’t matter. They pretend they lie that they’re there of the people there for the people. Why they’re screwing the people. Donald Trump came up with another proposal the day. Deduct interest on your car loans. You should be able to deduct it like you do your mortgage interest. Now, even some of our conservative friends are saying, you know, that’s ridiculous. I want to remind them that before Ronald Reagan and the massive tax cuts of August of 1981, which were fantastic, which grew the economy. Really. By the time Reagan left by 30%, the economy grew 30%. We used to be able to deduct all interest on credit cards, on car loans, vehicle loans. Same with mortgage interest and so forth and so on, you could deduct it all. You can deduct it over where Reagan said, no, we’re not going to do that. Instead, we’re going to just slash taxes. And he slashed it. To be honest, more than anybody in modern history, and Trump did, too, he followed up with it. And he said, Oh, look at that. Tax cuts for billionaires. Well, the Democrats use your money, your taxes, their debt to enrich their friends, who in turn give them $1,000,000,000 to run for president. Like Harris. Like Harris. This is the ruling class. These are the special interests. Who really do not want you. Have operate. Let’s turn the page, says Kamala Harris. Well, if we turn the page, then we broom her because she’s the vice president. If Kamala Harris cared about the little guy, the average working person union, non-union, the middle class, the why is the border wide open? If she cared about your community, you ladies in the suburbs who are overwhelmed by her charisma and her smarts and all the rest of it. Then why is there crime through the wazoo? She doesn’t support the cops. She opposes the cops. You parents out there. You know, the first organization to come out and endorse Kamala Harris literally within hours after she was. Chosen as the Democrat Party nominee. But as the American Federation of Teachers. Randi Weingarten right out of the box. Randi Weingarten, a Marxist who does not believe that you parents should have control over your children over there, over their decision making, over what they read, over their bodies or anything else. She is a hard left Marxist radical. She and the NBA and the rest have been destroying the public schools. You want parental control, You want parental notification, want parental involvement. Kamala Harris isn’t going to do that. She rejects all that. And yet the women in the suburbs were told, obviously, if you listen to this show, I’m not talking about you, but the others, the women in the suburbs were told abortion, abortion, abortions, The shiva lies about that. Let me try this one more time before the election. So the way to set up a trimester. Trimester system. I’ll call it. In the third trimester, states were free to regulate abortions, and they did some more than others. Kamala Harris does not support that when they talk about putting Roe back in place. She does not mean that. She believes in abortion right up to birth. Her running mate signed a law. A law that repealed a law that required doctors to care for babies after botched abortions. He repeated he lied during the debate. Look it up. It’s on it’s on the Internet. Just look it up. The law right there. And Kamala Harris supports that. The Democrat Party supports that. But they’re running hundreds of millions of dollars in ads telling you all they want to do is get Roe v Wade back. They even use an example of a woman who died from Georgia. They said because she couldn’t get an abortion, she had to leave the state. That’s not what happened. She took an abortion pill. It had a. A terrible effect. Complications took place. She went to the hospital. The doctors, apparently. As I as I read the facts of this case. Tried, but ineffectively to save her life. It had nothing to do with abortion. It had to do with the abortion pill. But she keeps bringing it up. That’s the best example they have. And they hope to ride that right into the White House. Ride that white in it right into the White House. It’s appalling. Well, I got to move on. I’ve got so much to cover. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Next hour, Melania Trump, but also something else. CBS News. What they did to Donald Trump by promoting Kamala Harris. Not editing. They didn’t edit what she said. They changed it. Watch what she said. And they changed what she said about Israel and how she said it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a red line that no media organization should cross. We’ve seen it throughout this campaign. ABC News, CNN. We’ve seen it now CBS twice. And I want to go through this with you and take our time doing it. And I will have more information to add to this soon. What are you talking about, Mark? You’ll know. You know, when I get started, it seems like, for the media. Ladies and gentlemen, if you hate the country. And I mean, hate it. You’re not to be questioned. You’re not to be challenged. Neither hire you or they promote you. And if you hate Jews and you hate the state of Israel. You’re to be defended. You’re not to be touched. That’s right. CBS was founded by William Pelling, a brilliant man, a businessman who truly believed in free speech. It was in Philadelphia. His first station was WCCO now which is now owned, believe it or not, by George Soros. As they seek to purify the airwaves of conservative talk. Well, CBS News, it’s a far cry from the days of William Paley, who created these various radio stations. Television stations and a television network. Any television network. This is not. Is left wing as he was Walter Cronkite. But he was a professional. Edward Murrow names many of you probably never heard of before. What’s taking place here is unbelievable. They have a host. Who is Jewish. Whose family lives in Israel. Who questions the guest in his book, which is a bigoted, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel book. In a very fair, classy discussion. They punish the reporter, the host. They want to put him through re-education. I want you to listen to some of this, but I want you to listen to something that I just received. You’ll see what I mean. Stick with us. I’ll be right back.
