Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello America.  Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. In the spirit of George Wallace, the Democrats have disenfranchised millions of voters. In Virginia. Barack Obama and Eric Holder are celebrating. Gerrymandering is one thing, ladies and gentlemen. A full on disenfranchisement, 10 to 1 is another thing altogether. The party of George Wallace is back. It’s just a different minority that they’re going after in states where they can pull this off. California, New York, Massachusetts has no Republican representative. Maryland has one. Virginia will have one, although we have an update on a court case. And so forth. By the way, today’s video podcast is through the roof. The number of viewers were hitting record territory soon, aren’t we, Mr. Bridges? Record territory. Liberty’s voice on Rambo, Liberty’s voice on YouTube. Although I have to confess, Rambo has treated us a lot better. But it is through the roof, and I’ll explain why later. You ought to check it out. But before we do, let me do my show. Check it out after the show. After this show. Ken Cuccinelli, former attorney general of the Commonwealth of Virginia, should have been governor. He lost by two and a half percent. If the RNC. Had even lifted a finger to help him. Who was the head of the RNC back then? What was that guy’s name? Mr. Pierce. What was it you remember Reince Priebus who did nothing. And people who’ve listened back back then may recall how I admonished him. He ran up to New Jersey to celebrate Chris Christie’s win. Everybody knew Christie was going to win. But spend precious little time. In the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ken Cuccinelli. The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. This is a district court judge, circuit court judge, rather. The judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election and denied a motion to stay pending appeal. So he’s going to enter a final order. Once it’s written, it will be immediately appealed, of course, and ultimately it will get to the Supreme Court of Virginia. There’s two basic grounds here. Number one, the way it was written, it was utterly and completely misleading. There are certain requirements for these referenda. And that didn’t meet it. And number two, excuse me, the way the vote came out of the state legislature to put it on the ballot also violated state law. But of course, the Democrats don’t give a damn. They’re hoping they have a majority on the Supreme Court and that’s that. But that’s where it is right now. Just so you know. Barack Obama and Eric Holder. I mean, this is what they did in the Deep South. This is how they played games. Jim Crow. These buffoons whine about it, complain about it, talk about it, and then do it the same damn thing. Except that’s a different target. You basically had a Democrat majority state. The governor. The legislature vote to have a public vote in a Democrat majority state. On whether Republicans should have representation. That’s the bottom line. And you know what? Most Democrats voted no. The Republicans shouldn’t have representation. That’s how sick these bastards are. Now wasn’t that long ago that Barack Millhouse Benita Obama opposed this kind of redistricting. How do we know? Because he said so. Here he is in 2020 versus 2026. Got to go. Gerrymandering means the citizens voices are being diminished by voting yes. You have a chance to do something important not just for the Commonwealth, but for our entire country. Even the former president for joining together to end gerrymandering and ensure that our democracy is living up to its founding promise. By voting yes, you can push back against the Republicans, trying to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterms. And we’re counting on you to help ensure a reasonable and transparent redistricting process that honors our ideal of equal representation. And in Virginia, ladies and gentlemen. They had a constitutional amendment. Where Virginia was considered the least gerrymandered state. The most objectively determined congressional districts. The Supreme Court of Virginia signed off on it. Just a few years ago. So you had six Democrats and five Republicans. I love the way the Democrats pretend that they were just responding to Republicans. They gerrymandered Massachusetts, the people of Massachusetts. If you’re a Republican, you have no representation. Zero members of Congress. You believe that Maryland, you got one member of Congress. Illinois. I think you got three, tops. California. When they’re done, you’ll have four out of 52 or something like that. So Texas sees what’s happening in Illinois, sees what happened to Massachusetts and Maryland. Even when California had nine Republican representatives, Republicans were way underrepresented. And Texas says, you know what? We’re going to act on this. And so now the Democrats, the experts are lies and propaganda. The experts at manipulation. Well, we’re all responding to Texas. Well, our friend Claudia Tenney, and she is a great congressman. She said, Stop saying Texas started this redistricting mess. New York started it after an extreme gerrymander by New York Democrats in 2022, completely ignoring the independent commission they created in 2014. The Court of Appeals in New York, that’s the highest court, like the Supreme Court, restored fairness. Then the Democrats sued again in 2024 to overturn the Court of Appeals decision. They bullied two court of appeals judges off the bench and forced a new Democrat favorable map. And the Republicans lost four seats. In 2026, they again sued to gerrymander and eliminate the Republican seat in Staten Island. And we’re looking for even more power. The US Supreme Court stopped that nonsense for now. The Democrats plan to gerrymander again in 2028. They will stop at nothing and do not care about the people or fairness. This is a bloodsport. The Republicans need to wake up and recognize this fact. And she is right 100%. And DeSantis in Florida. He’s up to the task and they are soon going to be acting. You wanted to see what happened in Virginia. Hakeem Jeffries has threatened DeSantis. DeSantis told them to go pound sand. We have a clip at the center here. I think we do. Okay. Help me out, Mr. Producer. All right, here we go. Cut. 14, Go. This guy Jeffries popping off in Washington about Florida. He wants to be speaker of the House, and he’s kind of like, you know, more liberal than Pelosi and all this other stuff from New York City. I just want to know just how Florida can do. We’re going to go after Florida. Please be my guest. I will pay for you to come down to Florida and campaign. I’ll put you up in the Florida governor’s mansion. We’ll take you fishing. We’ll do all this stuff. There’s nothing that could be better for Republicans in Florida than to see Jeffries, Hakeem, Jeffries. Everywhere around this state, voters will not like what they see. They will not want that type of ideology. And so the door is open, the invitations out there. I don’t think there would be anything better for the Republican Party of Florida, but to have Jeffries there now, I kind of feel bad for the guy because he’s as left as they come. He’s always going left, and yet the far left hates him. You know, they call him a dollar store. Obama. They call him a PAC, secure all these different derogatory names that they do. And so he’s tried to ingratiate himself with there, but they’re just not drinking the Kool-Aid. And so they give him a hard time. So I kind of feel bad for that. But please be my guest to come down in Florida. We would love to have you. There you go. You have an invitation there, genius. And he is dumb as a doorknob. In fact, most of the left are very, very stupid people. If you listen to them, if you can bear it. Very, very stupid people. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
All right. The Southern Poverty Law Center. We touched on this yesterday. Boy, do I really dig into this. I’m Liberty’s voice on the podcast, but I want to dig into it somewhat now as well. But we can’t spend the entire program on it. You know, every one of these platforms, they’re different in a wonderful way. TV has its benefits and its downside. Talk radio has mostly benefits, not a lot of downside. But when you’re doing a podcast or what we call video podcast times irrelevant. It’s irrelevant. And that’s one benefit. But I do the long form interviews on TV. I do long form discussions here, and I do it there as well. So this is, I think, very important to me that we really dig into these things and don’t do hit and run. Southern Poverty Law Center has been targeting traditional conservatives for decades. And has been maligning them. This is well after the civil rights movement and so forth. They’ve always been looking, looking on how to grift, how to make money. And let me just stop there for a minute. I think, folks, you need to understand that the worst of the podcasters are in it for money. They’re in it for money. Now they may also be bigots and they Semites and American haters and so forth. But first and foremost, they’re in it for the money. It’s not the same with a talk radio host where I’m here 3 hours. There are other things I can do to make more money. It’s not true when you write books. There’s other things I can do to make more money than spend 12 months writing a book. And what about TV? Well, some people make an enormous amount of money on TV. I’m not on TV to make money either. I’ve been offered all kinds of platforms and so forth throughout my life. Do what I want to do in a way that I want to do it. But there are other people. There are other people who have failed. In different projects who’ve been fired. Who have said things that have. They have been outrageous. And then there were there are governors. And by the I mean governors on your mouth. They’re removed. Or they can’t get ratings or they can’t get an offer. A thousand different reasons, right? And many of them move over to podcasting. And they’re there for the money. For the money. As well as other things. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking about the good guys. The good guys are good guys, and they’re always good guys because they try to do the right thing. I’m talking about people who go, What happened to that guy? What happened to that guy? I mean, two years ago, that guy, I couldn’t stop watching him. He was the best of the best all my life. And now he hates America. He’s pushing Islam and Sharia law and he’s trashing the president. And I said, what happened to that guy? Or people play clips of these people saying one thing one year and another thing another year when it comes to, for instance, a transitioning. Children. One position. One year. Another position. Another year. What happened to that person? They said, when you have to say what happened to that person, you should be suspicious about it. What did happen to that person? Now I am supported or attacked. For the very same long held principles I’ve always had. Always. Now facts may cause in certain different types of outcomes depending on the situation, but the principles don’t change. You’re not negotiating away your principles. I wanted to point that out. So the Southern Poverty Law Center, they had a problem. Their problem was they kept looking and looking and looking. And they couldn’t find enough. Discrimination under federal and state law. To attract donors. So they went out and created it. We’ve never seen anything like this on a grand scale. They went out and they created it. Pretty damn shocking, don’t you think? The Southern Poverty Law Center. And the indictment has the receipts. They’re all in their final $3 million in donor funds. More than 3 million. To the Ku Klux Klan. To the American Nazi Party. To the United Klans of America. To the Arian Nation. To the National Alliance, another neo-Nazi group. To unite the right. That was what took place in Charlottesville. Virginia. National Socialist Movement. Nazis. Sadistic Souls. Motorcycle Club. An American. Front. Fascists. And they set up these accounts with fake names to launder the money. In hopes that they wouldn’t be identified, that it wouldn’t. They wouldn’t reach back to the Southern Poverty Law Center. They did it to hide the money. Now, there’s much more to this. And I want to get into this a little bit with you. And if you want to hear really deep, deep, deep dive into this, because there’s other things I want to cover tonight on radio as well. Check out the the podcast. But we’ve got a lot of important things to discuss on this, my radio show. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
So to hide there over $3 million in payments to these Nazi groups and these Klansman groups and so forth. The Southern Poverty Law Center, they open these bank accounts, they use fictitious names. They want to conceal the source of the money, which is them. And they had what they called these field source individuals. In the indictment, they’re called F’s. Good letter. FS and they would pay these FS. In the Charlottesville case. Remember that in 2017, Unite the Right. The Southern Poverty Law Center paid. For an individual to help bus members, individuals, other individuals to that event. They paid. This individual to be part of the leadership chat group that was organizing it and promoting it and marketing it. You believe this, Rich? And as I said, they they coordinated the transportation. And. You know, a little Adolf neck for Winters. Little Adolf Nic four went to scissors where he he became known he was 18 years old. He was going to, I think Boston University, Boston College or University. But whatever, it doesn’t matter. He would later drop out. But he swore he wasn’t a racist back then. Of course, today wears a like a badge of honor. He swore he wasn’t a racist back then and so forth and so on. But that’s where he got known. So he got known. And an event that was heavily funded by the left. The Southern Poverty Law Center. It was created in fraud. And he is a fraud, if you ask me. But. He was burst out of that movement out of the Southern Poverty Law Center funded. Event Unite the Right? Certainly in part they were involved in that. And you might recall they tried to destroy Donald Trump with that when Donald Trump said there’s very fine people on both sides. And he then later was very explicit. He said, I’m not talking about the supremacists and everything else, but the Democrats couldn’t control themselves. The media couldn’t control themselves. And they kept trying to paint him as one of them. He’s never been one of them. Never. He’s been the opposite throughout his life as a developer with blacks and Hispanics and others and Jews. Throughout his career. And so. So was his father the same way? The same way. They don’t have a bigoted bone in their body. They don’t have an anti-Semitic bone in their body. Quite the contrary. Quite the contrary. But here’s the Southern Poverty Law Center. And guess what? Most of the media are ignoring it. And Democrats are rushing to the defense of the Southern Poverty Law Center. They’re trying to tell everybody that. There you go. Trump and his Department of Justice trying to mete out jungle justice. What? It turns out the acting attorney general said that actually they were under investigation the SPLC during the Biden regime, but they shut it down for no reason. They just shut it down. Well, we know. Why don’t we? Because it’s one of their babies. That’s why does their dirty work. That’s why. Why do you think Elizabeth Warren is in Maine campaigning with a Nazi? They don’t care. Catch power, baby. 10 to 1 in Virginia. They don’t care if the modern day George Wallace disenfranchising millions of millions of voters. As long as they’re Republicans, the Democrats just voted to disenfranchise Republicans. Wow. Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to work? I understand gerrymandering 10 to 1 is not gerrymandering. Zero Republicans in Massachusetts. That’s not gerrymandering. One Republican in Maryland, That’s not gerrymandering. That’s denying people the right to vote. Destroying their franchise. Choosing a Democrat congressman for them. That’s what that is. That’s what it is. That’s right. Southern Poverty Law Center. What a joke. DOJ charges them with fraud for paying white supremacist groups 3 million to stoke racial hatred, stoking racial hatred. Why they claim to be attacking it. It’s an 11 count indictment filed in an Alabama federal court. Well, no wonder they were able to get a grand jury to indict, not try that in D.C., although even there, I think they would have done it. There’s 2017 Unite the Right to protest in Charlottesville, Virginia. They pay $270,000. Over an eight year period. 270,000 over an eight year period to stoke that. The spoken. They had an embed. A neo-Nazi organization was paid $1 million, $1 million. It’s incredible. The grand legal. And the Ku Klux Klan was on their payroll. The national Ku Klux Klan was effectively on their payroll. They were paying for violence, they were paying for racism and bigotry and anti-Semitism. And then they were raising enormous amounts of funds saying that they were going to fight and they were fighting the very groups and causes they were funding. What do you think about that? America stretch from 2014 to 2023. Multimillion dollars involved. They’d sham bank entities, the center Investigative Agency Bank, the Fox Photography Bank, the Northwest Technologies Bank Accounts Tech Writers Group, bank account, rare books, warehouse bank account. No actual business, just a wash through. There were laundering the money. That’s it. Money. Fraud. Bank fraud. Mail fraud. Southern Poverty Law Center and Chuck Schumer goes to the floor. Of the Senate to attack the Department of Justice, to attack the Department of Justice. What do you think of that? Mr. Producer, It’s pretty crazy, don’t you think? I mean, they haven’t read the rights. That is the Department of Justice. But he goes to the floor of the Senate. And he trashes the Department of Justice. Mm hmm. As do a lot of Democrats. Well, here’s Cash Patel at the press conference late yesterday. Cut three. Go. We’re here today is to announce what the what the general just told you. The Southern Poverty Law Center in a massive sweeping indictment, has been charged with allegations of fraud and using the banking system to perpetrate that fraud. I just want to talk about a couple of brief things here. The Southern Poverty Law Center themselves advertise to raise money to dismantle violent extremist groups for a period of at least a decade. They used their donor network to raise money to purportedly dismantle violent extremist groups. However, the SBC, the Southern Poverty Law Center, used the money they raised, raised from their donor network to actually pay the leadership of these very groups. I just want to say that again, they used the fraudulently raised money by lying to their donor network, thousands of Americans, to go ahead and actually pay the leadership of these supposed violent extremist groups. The groups, as the general laid out, include the Ku Klux Klan, the clans of America unite to write. National Alliance. The national surveys are basically Kennesaw and Tucker Carlson. Steve Bannon viewers. Adherence, basically same groups. Go ahead. Asian Motorcycle Club and the National Socialist Party of America and also the American Front. In at least one of these matters. Our investigation revealed that funds were used to facilitate the commission of further state and federal offences totaling over $3 million. Furthermore, our investigation revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center, on top of perpetuating this widespread, decade long multimillion dollar fraud, conducted more criminal activity. They attempted to hide their criminal activity from our financial banking network. They set up shell companies and entities around America so that the financial institutions that we rely on as everyday Americans were deceived in believing that money was not coming. From the Southern Poverty Law Center in the perpetration of this scheme and fraud, but rather fictitious entities, they stood up to perpetuate this ongoing fraud. This is a serious and egregious violation of a group that purported to dismantle violent extremist groups, but in turn actually only fueled the hatred. This is an important case brought by the president, by President Trump’s administration. We’re thankful to the president for his leadership and funding of not just the FBI and DOJ, but his commitment to go out there and wipe out fraud and conspiracy and waste and abuse wherever it occurs, including the Southern Poverty Law Center. Even though this money was made to appear to be coming from legitimate people and legitimate entities. We at the FBI, with our great partners at the Department of Justice and in the state of Alabama, were able to comb through a decade worth of material, a scheme that took a decade to build so that we were able to follow the money because money never lies. All right. Now, here’s the thing. All this information, or at least a big chunk of it, was available to meritless Garland. And the Department of Justice. Instead, they were trying to destroy Donald Trump with trumped up charges. Right. They spend all their time and money on things like that. But here they had the goods on these folks and they dropped it. Now, that’s not blind justice. That’s outrageous, because each one of you to be very angry about this. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
We have a first next hour with Dana Perino. How do you like that Mr. Producer? We’re going to talk to Dana Perino next hour. I’ve come to really, really respect her. I have over the years now, you know, I was a little harsh early on. I probably shouldn’t have been. You know, as I get older, I look back. Why did you do that? But I find I agree with her a lot and I think she’s doing a hell of a job and has been for for quite a while. So. So live with it. There you go. You know, you got it. Sometimes you got to recalibrate. You got to look at things and say, okay, I get it. He can be off or wrong or something like that. But it’s not even that when I go on the show, they’re they’re very, very kind to me, very respectful to me. They let me speak and so forth and so on. So I’ve gotten to like them a lot. Hammer too, for that matter, today’s apparently very, very hot video podcast at Liberty’s Voice. It’s like a rocket going through the sky right now, isn’t it? Mr. Producer? The number of views almost at a record. Here’s just 35 seconds. Cut one, Go unite the right event in Charlottesville, Virginia. You guys have to remember all that, right? And that was the case where you saw literally people marching, Klansmen, marching, neo-Nazis marching in the uniforms with the flags that was paid for by the Southern Poverty Law Center. This is where little ADA scientists became famous. He was 18 years old. He was going to, I think, Boston youth. He got all caught up in this and he said, I was there defending my vows, but I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything. And of course, now he bathes in it. He bathes in. It is right. Man. Oh, man. I got a lot to say about that on the podcast, but I have a lot to say about a lot more here on radio as well, but a number of other things. What? How much time do I have, Rich? Okay, let’s listen to this A.G. Tod Blanch, the acting attorney general on this very topic today. Cut forego in total. According to the indictment, between 2014 and 2023, as TLC paid at least $3 million to eight individuals at least. These individuals were affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, the Nationalist Socialist Party of America, Nazis and the American Front. Now, as the indictment lays out after US posse paid members of these extremist groups. It created work product that reported on these activities that the members participated in or contributed to. And to that end, it was doing the exact opposite of what its told its donors it was doing, not dismantling extremism, but funding it to carry out this scheme as policy created bank accounts in the name of at least five completely fictitious organizations that had no bonafide employees or legitimate business purpose. The money was passed from SPLC to one sham account to a second sham account, and then loaded onto prepaid cards to give to the members of the extremist groups. This was designed to shield the source of those funds. And because of this else, SPL C is also charged with one count, as I said earlier, of conspiracy to commit money laundering. That’s Todd Blanch. He’s doing a hell of a job. Kash Patel’s doing a hell of a job. All you naysayers out there in that my audience on the Internet, The strange place, the Internet. You see, I am of the view Tucker Carlson is done. Doesn’t mean he won’t have followers on it, but he’s done. He has no influence in the Republican Party, has no influence with the president unless the president decides he should really with MAGA. He is talking about removing the president under the 25th Amendment. He was talking to his brother. Just really weird. You know, Larry Loomer had a clip of this and I watched this idiot and I watched the idiot and his idiot brother. I mean, I don’t know what people see in this. It’s narcissistic. It is a psychodrama. It is bizarre. Absolutely bizarre. They need to seek redemption because they were so wrong and they’re trashing the president. They’re trashing our country, the trashing our economic system. These guys, they’re promoting the enemy. That’s not conservatism or MAGA or Trump or anything of the sort. These guys have you know, they know all their marbles. So what is it? I think it’s a lot of rubbernecking, a lot of bots, a lot of foreigners. But in our country, I think it’s not that people agree with them. It’s that they find it amusing and entertaining to watch nutjobs be nutjobs.
