On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, Sen Elizabeth Warren met with Zohran Mamdani to endorse his socialist and Marxist agenda. Warren asserts that affordability is the primary crisis facing our nation, but this is merely a facade to disguise their true intentions. She also claims that this aligns with the Democratic message and their core values. Fidel Castro spoke of free healthcare, free food, and housing, yet he stifled his people’s progress, leading to the current disastrous state of Cuba. The handouts they are advocating will ultimately cause more harm than good, jeopardizing everything you have worked tirelessly for, merely to provide for illegal immigrants, while also undermining essential institutions like our Police Departments, ICE, and more. In addition, the extreme left and radical Islamists are attempting to sway our youth, Conservatives, and Republicans into harboring negative feelings towards Israel. This situation is perilous because it highlights exactly why these so-called influencers are pushing this agenda—they are thirsty for clicks. Furthermore, Jasmine Crocket, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Al Green, and the 5th Column isolationists are eager to back Hamas and the antisemitism that afflicts our country and the world. Crocket labels President Trump a Temu Nazi, which is both disrespectful and absurd; she is the one who truly supports the real Nazis – Radical Islamists, terrorists, and Marxists disguised as Democrats. Lastly,  Democrats are leaving Texas to affect the redistricting effort, putting it at a stall. Sen John Cornyn reached out to the FBI seeking assistance in locating, apprehending, and investigating numerous Texas Democratic lawmakers who have left the lone Star State to impede a Republican-led redistricting initiative.

Rough Transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1

Well, here we are. Elizabeth Warren meeting with Zoran Mamdani. I’m sure you folks in Massachusetts are very proud of her. Pushing the agenda. And the president is right. He’s not a socialist. He’s a marxist. I don’t know why people keep calling him a socialist. He’s a marxist. He used to happily claim that he’s a marxist, too. You know, words have consequences and they have meaning, and we have to use the right words. Marxist. Elizabeth Warren is as well. She’s an American Marxist who wrote a whole book on this. And so she’s at a press conference today with Zoran Mamdani. This is how this went. Cut for a go. I’m here because affordability is the central issue. All of a sudden now they think they found a word affordability and they will hit it and hit it and hit it. And what were the Republicans do in response? What will Cuomo do? Oh, Adams. Do I rather sleep well? What will they do with this word? Affordability. I’ll get to that in a minute. Go ahead, please. City is proof of that. When someone stands up and says, I will lead this city by making it more affordable, and here are my plans, real plans. Plans to deliver on child care, plans to deliver on housing, plans to deliver an experiment. We’re going to try things. You know, this is so childish. It is so preposterous. It just so stupid. So this guy is going to come in and he’s going to give out freebies. Like he’s some kind of a marxist Santa Claus. Now. Does anybody think this makes any sense? Seriously? Anybody? It is utterly and completely ridiculous. But let’s keep going. Go ahead. That is the Democratic message. The difference between the two parties is that one party is making it clear they’re here for the billionaires. Right. Donald Trump and the Republicans in Washington just passed a tax and spend. All right. That’s enough. That’s enough. Okay. They’re here for the billionaires. I don’t understand this, quite frankly, but let’s let’s really dig in so we know how to handle stuff like this. Castro talked about free food. Castro talked about free health care. Child care. Where the government takes care of your children and you don’t. That they should own the means of production, that they should open housing market. There should be no such thing as private property. Somebody please tell me. And and let’s keep one line open. Mr. Call greener. Somebody please tell me the great difference between Mamdani and Fidel Castro. I’m not kidding. I want to know what’s the great difference between the two in terms of their economic proposals? What is it? What is it? And we’ve talked about this. There could be a million billionaires and it doesn’t affect you and me. You’re still going to have access to the greatest selection of food and services and products on the face of the earth, more than any king or queen ever had. More than Malle ever had or Stalin ever had, or any of those people ever had Markson and Engels. So the question I have is how does mandate me differ from Castro? Let’s keep that one line open. Mr. Producer. Mr. Call screen. I’m very, very interested in knowing about this. And she goes on and she says, I’m going to make things more affordable. No, they’re not. How are they going to make things more affordable? As I said the other day, you have to compare something to something. You don’t compare something. To an ideology. You don’t compare something to an ideology. Something to something. So where does this work? Anywhere on the face of the planet. I mean, Marxism isn’t new. It’s not new. It’s been around for about 100 and 7075 years or more. Now, New York, you had your taste of. DiCamillo. DiCamillo. Was a commie buddy. He didn’t even go this far. He didn’t even go this far. Go ahead. Let’s go to cut five. Elizabeth Warren, go ahead. This is a man who ran for mayor of New York City by saying what will make New York City work better for working people. That’s what this campaign is all about. And when Andrew Cuomo said, no, it’s not what this campaign is all about. You know, ladies and gentlemen, here’s the thing. When they talk about city run grocery stores. That’s about you. When they talk about destroying the the private home market, that’s about your home destroying you. When they talk about. Freebies for everybody. They’re talking about illegal aliens as well. You know what’s going to rush into New York City? People who want the best welfare system they can possibly get, whether they’re American citizens, legal aliens or illegal aliens, they are going to rush into your city. They’re going to rush into your streets. They’re going to turn it into a full throated third world country. That’s what they’re going to do. You folks should get up early in the morning and come home late at night. Or if you work the night shift, you’re going to carry all this. It’s going to be your burden. The quality of life is going to sink like an anchor, and you’re going to try and find a way to get the hell out of there, too. The police aren’t going to hang around. I talk to the police. I talked to them when I was there last weekend. They want nothing to do with this. Firefighters aren’t going to hang around. You’re going to take the greatest police force, the greatest fire department, and destroy it. The education system in New York is a disaster and it’s going to get worse. He wants to pick one of the X squad members. Mr.. I’ll pull the alarm as the head of education. So you don’t need to be Nostradamus to predict what’s going to take place here. Madani has never run a damn thing. Neither is Elizabeth Warren. They talk in slogans. They’re going to make New York City affordable. No, they’re not. They’re going to make it impoverished. You’re going to lose your status. It’s a financial center. You’re going to have significant vacancies in your commercial real estate market. You’re going to have significant vacancies in high end apartments. How does that affect you? That means that people who create jobs and invest. I’m going to leave. Because they can. And you can’t blame them. They’re the people who can leave are going to leave. And they’re going to be replaced to the extent that they’re replaced. So they’re going to depopulate. And what’s going to repopulate is the people on the dole. The people on the dole. They’re heading for New York City. And so who’s going to pay for all this? And remember my dummy like Elizabeth Warren, they don’t believe in citizenship. So any Tom, Dick and Mohammed, Tom, Dick and Josie, whatever who come into New York City, they’re going to get the full panoply of welfare benefits, the greatest on the face of the earth, and that’ll last two or three years until they run out of money. And then your city is going to collapse. New York City already went through bankruptcy in the 1970s under a liberal Republican, Lindsay. Now you’re really going to hit the wall. You’re really going to hit the wall. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2

is a very evil genius effort by some of the fake MAGA. Remember them, don’t you? Who have a real hate on for Israel? Netanyahu Jews. People like. Steve. Pardon me again. Bannon, who is a thoroughly defected human being. And a certified confessed criminal. Marjorie Taylor. GREENE It was an absolute lunatic with an IQ of a snail. And so the lib media love them. They quote them all the time. Quote them all the time. There might be a few stand up comics who aren’t very funny. Who don’t know what they don’t know, and they’re treated as experts because they have microphones and podcasts and we have others. The longest list. The list is long. It’s growing. And now we have them announcing that, well, you know, young MAGA people under 30 really cannot stand Israel and even people over 30 and MAGA are starting to turn on Israel now they’re not. Maybe in the little seminars that they have, maybe amongst themselves, that’s their projection. That’s what they want to happen. And so let me ask you something, America. What is with these people? Who side were Hamas and the terrorists? They’re now turning on Christians. Evangelical Christians and other Christians who take the Bible literally and seriously. And talk about the land in Israel, historically and otherwise, and who it belongs to and who it originally belonged to. Which, of course. It is the home first of the Jewish faith in the home of the Jewish faith in the Christian faith. And then hundreds of years later came Islam. But it’s very, very interesting, isn’t it? They want. The youth in America, conservative Republicans to turn on the state of Israel. Now they platform these people, too. So rather than make the case. For the Judeo-Christian belief system. We’re going to have a debate over it. A debate over. This is quite different. Quite different. Now we want to go on the offense. We want to make the case for Americanism. We want to make the case for the Judeo-Christian belief system. We want to make a case for Christianity and Judaism in the Enlightenment and all these wonderful things. That’s what we want to do. Not to hold some phony debate or discussion or not surround ourselves with a few thousand. People. And then say to ourselves, This represents everybody. It clearly does not. We also believe in the vibrancy of the United States of America. It should be the strongest country in the face of the earth. We are a superpower. We don’t surrender. Two Islamists, two communists, two fascists. We’ve seen that before. We don’t believe in that sort of thing. But there are efforts to push back, not just in the Jewish community but in the Christian community. In the Christian community to. Pushing back. Coffee, My friend Perkins. My friend Brody. Christians are rising up. Christian organizations are rising up. They do not want to be spoken for by these hentai Semites and American haters. Conservative Jewish groups, at a very minimum, are rising up and they are speaking. In other words, red blooded Americans. Our pushing back. Our pushing back. We love our country. We love the values our country was based on. These people don’t speak for us, but the media love them. They can’t get enough of them. And if you notice now that they stabbed the president in the back. Have you noticed that? And it’s it’s constant now. My Johnson is the speaker of the House. He’s the speaker of the House. Not by accident. He was elected the speaker of the House by the overwhelming majority, the Republicans in the House. Except for a few here and there. And he. Is in Israel. With several other Republicans. He went to the Western Wall in Israel yesterday. He went to Judea and Samaria. The original homeland and the birth of Judaism. To state his support. For is, you know, ladies and gentlemen, I hear this Israel first or stuff. Mr. Produce, Do you have a Bible? Now for Christians. There’s an Old Testament. A New Testament. You’re a Christian, you have a Bible with the Old Testament, a New Testament in it. Of course. The Old Testament. According to the Christian faith, was basically. Sort of Jewish centric. And then there’s the New Testament, which is Jesus and post Jesus, Correct. Well, then I would ask. When you read the Bible, when you talk about the Old Testament. Or the Torah. Are you Israel first. No, you’re a person of faith, which includes the Holy Land, which is the state of Israel. But you’re an American citizen. You’re a red blooded American. When you go to church. On Sundays are other days. And you pray. Does that mean you’re Israel first because you use the Bible. It means you’re an American, a red blooded American who embraces the Judeo-Christian belief system. That’s what you believe. So these people who speak do not understand faith. They don’t understand Christianity, and they claim to represent you and me.

Segment 3

Don’t forget, folks. Join me at my book signing this Saturday 10 a.m.. Barnes Noble, brand new store, The Spectrum at Reston Town Center, Reston, Virginia. I hope you’ll join us. It’s posted on all the social sites. We’re going to have a great, great time this Saturday. It’s almost here at 10 a.m., Barnes and Noble Spectrum at Reston Town Center, Reston, Virginia. The beginning of the program, I asked that we keep in line open, though we get some calls here about how do Mondavi mom, Danny and Castro, differ on economic issues? And we have a taker carry Bloomington, Illinois, the Great WRP. R.W. Carey, go right ahead, please. Thank you, sir. I would just like to first say that I’m going to have a quote from Wayne’s World back in the eighties. I’m not worthy. I put my hands down to you. That’s a that’s a good quote. And I just want to let you know that you’re very good at what you do. All right. So give us an answer. Okay. The answer is, if this guy wants to do everything he says, as long as he lives it like everyone else, what he’s going to do too. More power to him. We know that you are aware that last week he was at a wedding in Uganda, right? His wedding. And they spent a fortune and it was about how long I was behind the wall. He had personal, private security guards. You are aware that he is a trust fund baby? You wear these things? Well, I’m. I don’t know these things, but if he wants to. No, no, no, no, it’s not. It’s not a matter of how he wants to live. It’s a matter of how we want to live. And so it’s actually a similarity with Castro. Castro’s father was a landowner. And Castro pretended to be for a little democracy. And he was backed by the Democrat Party in the United States, who is backed by The New York Times. So there is a similarity there. There’s a lot of similarity. And then, of course, when Castro took over, he revealed himself as a Soviet communist. He actually took the land from his own family. And of course, he set up a hellish police state. Now without the latter part, going back to New York, Madame, whose father is a marxist Madame, actually has a worse pedigree than Castro did. And his father is pro-Hamas. And has said some really horrible, vile, vile things there. He’s on the faculty of Columbia University. But Madame is a trust fund baby. He grew up not having to work. He’s even said that he has certainly not lived the kind of life that he wants other people to live. And his policies will destroy New York’s middle class. They can talk about affordability all they want. They’re Marxists. Marxists aren’t about affordability. They’re about power. It’s the whole point of the book on power. They’re about control. They’re about. Empowering themselves. So I don’t really care how he lives. I guarantee he won’t live anywhere but Gracie Mansion. That’s where they all live. But thank you for your call, folks. You can have somebody going out to do better than that. I said that and I’ll stick by Monday’s economic policies. Are very, very similar to the Castros. To Fidel Castro. And I want some Marxist leftist Madani supporter to call me and tell me why I’m wrong. Tell me why I’m wrong. Tell me where I’m wrong. Now circling back to Mike Johnson at the Western Wall in Israel yesterday. And I am here countering with truth. The buffoons, the fools. Who have their own little backgrounds in their basements with their own little microphones who are so self-important. Going on about how MAGA has turned on Israel when basically it’s this fake MAGA cabal who turns on Trump who stabs him in the back. In many ways. They’re like Marxist Islamists, aren’t they, when you think about it. They really are. They’re liars. Their slogan is. No moronic. They love the left wing media. They love attention. They’re grifters. Many more areas of overlap. As a matter of fact. Here’s Mike Johnson at the Western Wall in Israel yesterday. Cut six. Go to Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House of Representatives in America. We’re here with a delegation of members of the House. We’re so grateful to be in Israel, particularly on this day, recognizing the destruction of the temples in times of history. But it’s such a moving time for us to be here, to be here at the Wailing Wall. We’ve offered our prayers. We put our notes into the wall as is traditional. And we’re so moved by the hospitality of the people and the great love of Israel, our prayer is that America will always stand with Israel and that we will we pray for the preservation and the peace of Jerusalem. That’s what Scripture tells us to do. It’s a matter of faith for us and a commitment that we have. God bless you. Hmm. He must be Israel first. Here. No. Is an American first term. Which involves supporting the Holy Land and the people who are defending it. Which involves embracing the Bible. Oh, we think we have another one, huh? I’m not so sure about this. Julia Hickory, North Carolina. Julia, tell us the difference you say between Castro and Mamdani. Well, thank you, Mark, for taking my call. And I just want to tell you thank you for what you do. God bless those who will bless Israel. The difference there. Oh, you must be a neocon. Anyway, go right ahead, please. There’s no difference between Madonna’s Marxism and Castro’s Marxism. They’re the same. But what I fear is Mamdani will try and rebrand communism into American socialism. And the general public, who are sometimes uninformed, will hear American socialism and believe, Oh, well, that could possibly work. But, you know, it’s interesting. It’s interesting you say that because I heard one or two young ladies interviewed and said we have to stop stigmatizing socialism here like 2022. We the stamp thing. Now, of course, they’ve lived in the in the greatest country on the face of the earth, where prosperity is created and wealth created. And they have everything they have as a result of capitalism. And I dare anybody to try and take anything from them. But this is we we have to stamp stigmatizing felt like that. So maybe our colleges should ship some of these folks off for, you know, for a semester in in paradise in these socialist Marxist societies. All right, Julia, thank you for your call. Mr. Cascarino, I’m looking for true believers, that is, I’m looking for individuals. Who believe in mon ami, who believe in Marxism and Islamism. That’s what I’m looking for. So not so much our folks, but their people. If they have the guts, the call, Tell me the difference between Fidel Castro’s economic policies and beliefs and man dummies. And it’s my assertion that there are aren’t any. If there are, they are of no consequence. That’s my assertion. And that’s what I believe. All right, let’s keep movin, baby. I went back and I want to do this with you. They talk about gerrymandering. And of course, the media, as you know, is filled with Democrats and radical leftists, and so they regurgitate whatever the Democrats told them. These dark blue states have already squeezed out as many Republicans as they can. Maybe they can squeeze out a few more. But I want to show you how they believe in democracy already. I went look this up. California has 52 congressional seats. You know how many of the Republicans have? Nine. Nine. Now I understand it’s a significant majority. Non Republican state. But between the Republicans and the independents, the Republicans and independents together outnumber the Democrats. But 43 Democrat districts. Now, that was through gerrymandering. Now let’s look at New York. New York has 19 Democrats and seven Republicans and local. I feel like there’s something in your throat when you mention her name. She figures we can take out two or three more Republicans. Let’s look at the state of Maryland. They have eight congressional seats, one Republican, one Republican. Let’s look at the state of Illinois now, home of little Dick Durbin. Little Dick Durbin. They have 17 seats, three Republican. And there and there a map. Looks like a bowl of linguine. But so do these other states. We can go through New Jersey. We can go through all of them. So they’ve already done this. They’ve already gerrymandered that. Maybe they can squeeze a few more out. But they don’t believe in representative government. That’s just, how shall I say, crap. Now, there’s more I referenced to you the other night. Our buddy Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation. He wrote a piece a few years back about the Census Bureau errors Distort congressional Representation for the States. He wrote this literally three years ago. And what is he talking about? The Census Bureau admitted. That they made a mistake in their mathematical calculations. In the 2020 census. Now, first of all, that’s hard for me to believe that they made a mistake after all these years, you know, since the since the adoption of the Constitution. You’d think they’d get used to it by now, but they made a mistake. And what did that mistake do, ladies and gentlemen, as a result of their errors, their mathematical errors? Writing. Florida did not receive two additional congressional seats, which it should have to. Texas should have received an additional seat, which it didn’t. Minnesota and Rhode Island each retained a congressional seat, both of which should have lost a seat, and Colorado was given a seat that it had no right to have. Colorado’s Democrat, Rhode Island’s Democrat, Minnesota Democrat. And the other two, of course, are Republican. And he has other examples in here as well. So as many as five or six likely Republican seats were handed to dark blue Democrat states as result of a so-called error. A so-called error. At the Census Bureau. The Democrats are jumping up and down because this is what they always do. They can’t control themselves. They have issues. But the media haven’t told you any of this, have they? In fact, the media never told you about the Census Bureau errors, did they? More when I return. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4

Now, when you’re talking about the Constitution, you’re talking about the Federalist Papers. When you’re talking about the Bill of Rights, which were added later to the Constitution. When you’re talking about the declaration, conversely, when you’re talking about a mandala or a Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, when you’re talking about Marxism or Islamism, when you’re talking about all these things. It comes down to one word power. It’s a complicated word. It’s a complicated word. It doesn’t lend itself to a simple definition. But I want to tell you something, ladies and gentlemen. I have done probably during the course of this week and last week, maybe 50 radio interviews. 50. I’ve done eight or ten television programs. The hosts have been fabulous, by the way. I’m very grateful. Some of you may have heard some of these interviews. On your local stations or on Fox and so forth. And the fact of the matter is that in virtually every single instance, if a host has read the book, they have said. This is a hell of a book. There is a ton of information in here, even though it’s a it’s a tightly written book. And it’s wholly understandable the way you wrote it. And I explain to them that I did this. In a slightly different way than my other books. It’s more like liberty and tyranny, I might say. I did it this way because the import of this issue. Because I don’t think we’re teeing up the debate the way we need to tee up the debate. And by the way, I regret that we have so many of these podcasters and other people with platforms that are so focused. On hating Israel and hating Jews. So focused. On Epstein. That we’re in a battle for the survival of this republic. And they’re not engaged. Instead, they attacked the president of the United States. They attacked conservatives. For their own selfish purposes. And so I use as much time as I can first in exposing them and defending you and me from them and defending the president from them. But as much time as I can to talk about substance, history, philosophy, our nation. And at the book signing, my wife was standing there. One person after another said, Please keep doing that. Please keep doing that. We don’t get it anywhere else. Please keep doing that. And I’ve always done it and I’m always going to do it. I’ve always done it and I’m always going to do it. There’s a lot of books out there. There’s more coming. The vast majority of them weren’t written by the author somewhere, but most were not. You can be 100% certain that when you purchase a book from me like this one on power, it’s mine. And you can be certain that we’re going to take these issues and we’re going to develop them in a way that does not waste your time or your money. I know the value is great. It’s less than 20 bucks, but money’s money. And you can go online on Amazon. There aren’t a lot of comments there, but the ones that aren’t truly absurd out of left field that have nothing to do with the book, that are just personal attacks and so forth. You know what to do with those. But look at the ones that leave substantive responses. Take a look at those. Or if you’ve you’ve been able to listen to my interviews with local hosts who are fantastic and some of the syndicated hosts. Understand that we’ve just touched it. And when I read from the book, we’ve just touched. But if we’re going to understand how to. How to secure this nation. We’ve got to understand certain language, certain concepts, certain ideas, and be able to package them in a fairly pithy way. And I want to say one other thing. Many of you have or are sending your kids off to college. My friend Larry O’Connor. Mayo, great morning host. He subs from time to time for me in Washington, D.C.. He was one of the first interviews I did, if not the first. And he said, get this book. Give it to your kid when they’re going off to college because they’re going to need it. They’re going to need it. So I hope I hope you’ll grab your copy. Look, you don’t have to take out a mortgage to get it. Those of you don’t like to read. You can get the audio played in your car, whatever, whatever you’re comfortable with.
