Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America.  Mark Levin here.  Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. I’m glad you’re here. Tons going on. Hello, Tons going on. I want to start with something that may shock you. You may say, Mark, that’s. That’s so boring. Nothing we do here is boring. We always make an intriguing and interesting and entertaining. I think there is a Gallup poll that’s out just came out. Socialism’s positive rating tops 40% for the first time ever. 43% of Americans view socialism positively. You can go ahead and post that, Mr. Producer. Beautiful. Thank you. Positive views of big business down to 35%. Capitalism steady at 55%. Small business free enterprise remain most popular Economic concepts. Everybody’s coming on us. What the hell’s happening? Our young people are going south. 43% of Americans now have a positive view of socialism, making the first time this figure has exceeded 39% in Gallup’s trend since 2010. Gallup has measured Americans overall views of these five economic concepts, including capitalism and socialism, periodically since 2010, with the latest update conducted August 3rd through 24th. Over the long term, Americans have become less positive about most of the market oriented concepts Gallup tracks. Since 2010, positive views of big business have fallen by 14 percentage points. Free enterprise by nine points and capitalism by six points. Small business is the exception. Most of the increase in socialism positive ratings through 2025 reflected increasingly positive views among Democrats, rising from 50% in 2010 to 66% last year. The latest uptick, however, it comes entirely from political independents whose positive rating jumped from 37% last year to 45% now. What is wrong with this, folks? What’s wrong with this? Now I will be criticized for my post, and I’ll explain that in a minute. What do they mean by Americans? We’ve had a massive flood of migrants into this country since 2010, especially during the four years of the Biden regime. Massive, millions and millions. Many of them from the Third World, many of them from socialist regimes. We look at what’s going on. In Minneapolis with Somalis. 85, 87% of them on welfare. We look what’s going on in northern Virginia with Afghans. Again, 85, 87% on welfare. Well, of course, depending on who they’re polling, they support socialism. Big government welfare. So I went into this and I looked and I went into the men, the means that they go through in order to conduct their survey. They don’t define what they mean by Americans, are they American citizens? That’s what I would think, right? I mean, they say they’re Democrats and they’re independents and so forth and so on. But if you call somebody on the phone and they say they call people on cell phones and on their landlines. Are you a Democrat or Republican and so forth, they’re asking them what party do they identify with? What party did they identify with? You could be an illegal alien and identify with the Democrat Party or claim to be an independent or whatever. So they’re not checking immigration status, not even asking about it, and they’re really not checking political party affiliation. They’re just asking them about it. As far as I can tell, based on the information that they’ve put out themselves on the process that they use. So I don’t believe 43% of Americans support socialism. Maybe 43% of the people in this country support socialism. And maybe there’s a big chunk of Democrats, certainly that support socialism. But one of the reasons I think, that it jumped from 39 to 43% since 2010 is in large measure immigration. That’s what I think’s going down here. Now, the problem is all the phony experts and brainiacs in Washington, D.C., and working on campaigns and and think tanks, they’re going to all the young people support socialism. Not everybody supports socialism. And so we even have in the Republican Party, not cons, nationalist conservatives, whatever the hell that means. And they’re really socialist lite. We need more government intervention. We need more of this. We need more of that. I’m going to tell you something. It’s government intervention that has created inflation. It’s government intervention that has pushed up gasoline prices over the years. That’s pushed up food prices over the years. It’s government intervention that’s making it difficult to build housing units, whether they’re townhouses, condominiums, apartments, single family homes. I mean, one conservative start to believe that socialism or socialism lite or we need more government. Boy. We haven’t had enough government over the last 80 or 90 years. 40 trillion in debt heading to 50 trillion. Social Security on its back. Medicare on its back. We just need more government. We need another program. What program? Well, there’s one to help the middle class. Well, that’s what Social Security was all about and Medicare was all about. It’s not about helping the middle class or helping working people. Government doesn’t create wealth. It creates. Poverty. Economic dislocation. Bureaucracy. Ultimately, all of this leads to. Undermining our constitutional construct. See, the Marxists know this. Which is why they’re always pushing economic socialism. They know it. They know that they’re attached. But so do I. Market capitalism goes hand in hand with constitutional Republicanism. Socialism does not. Economic socialism does not. So. The criticism all received, Mr. Producer. Is. Well, it says here that they’re members of the Democrat and Republican Party are their independence. If you’re an illegal alien, you can’t do that. Well, that’s true. You know. But how did they check that? They didn’t. They didn’t. So if I’m an illegal alien and I’m a. Somalian. Even if I’m a legal alien and I’m a Somali and. And I’m in Minneapolis and I’m one of the 87% on welfare. Yes, I support big government, I support socialism. I support all these things because that’s how I’m living. Somebody else is pulling my weight. That’s what it means to be on the dole. Same with Northern Virginia. With the Afghanis that Biden left him. Not all, of course, but 85, 87%. That’s about as close to all as you can get. Not all, but very close. So, of course, I’m for socialism and welfarism and big government. They care about the damn constitution. What does it mean to me? Doesn’t mean anything. This whole thing about capitalism. I love it when the commies like Bernie Sanders are going on. You have a right to health. Okay, You’re right. You’re right. You’re right. You have a right to get off your ass and earn your own income. That’s what you have a right to do that. But you have a right to do. You have a right to demand that the rest of us are your indentured servants, whether we’re doctors or nurses, whether we’re truck drivers or plumbers, electricians, whether we own a small business. You don’t have a right to what we create with our labor. Morning, noon and night, breaking our backs for our families. Some claim to it. Well, but right. You have no damn right. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
People like simple solutions to things they just do. And so they develop a mindset and a myopic viewpoint. What am I talking about? You even have some of these pseudo conservatives who just keep regurgitating that of Benjamin Netanyahu were not prime minister. Things would be different with Israel. You hear the left say this all the time and they don’t mean it, of course. What they really hate are the Israelis themselves, the Jews in Israel. Because the Israelis themselves, the Jews in Israel, do not want a two state final solution. Because they know what that means. The Palestinian terrorists, because that’s what they are. They’re not really interested in a nation. They’re interested in. Another helicopter. And so when I go through the history of the region and I go through a whole factual evaluation of everything that’s taking place, these people don’t care. So it’s you know, Netanyahu’s brought this on. You know, if it wasn’t for Netanyahu and these are all the anti-Semites saying this, including these pseudo conservative anti-Semites. If he were just not there, If he weren’t there, I don’t know that Israel would be there at this point. I don’t know that at all. Now I want to read something to you. It’s been taken on the big stuff here. You see, that is in the New York Slimes than any slimes is a vile propaganda operation. It was early on in a propaganda operation for slavery. In its early days, and it was a propaganda operation for Stalin. In the thirties was a propaganda operation for the Third Reich. That’s right. Their chief correspondent in Berlin was actually writing in a very positive way about the Nazi Party and so forth. And they covered up the Holocaust. That’s the 1940s. And then in the late 1950s, they ushered in Fidel Castro and Cuba. The last few years they’ve been doing the. The advance works, so to speak, the PR for Hamas. And now they’re trying to interfere with the Israeli elections. As are the other radical left wing thug and goon media to try and take on Netanyahu. If Netanyahu was not a great leader and a strong leader, they wouldn’t be doing the same with Trump if he were a nebbish if he were weak. Eight one. It wouldn’t be attacking Trump. New York Times. Netanyahu is said to have been warned about Hamas attack before October 7th. Didn’t you and I, Mr. Mrs. America, go through this before in a publication called Haaretz, which is a self-hating Israeli media company that hates Israel. I know that sounds weird. It’s like J Street that hates Jews and hates Israel. It’s the sickest disease that exists, but it exists. The next sentence is Netanyahu said to have been warned about Hamas attack before October 7th. Then you go down the warning from the leader of the UAE Emirates, which lacks specific details about the nature of an attack. Never reach the chiefs of Israel’s security establishment, Israeli officials said. So this is warmed over bullcrap. The head of the UAE said he never did it. A spokesman said it never happened. But even if it did, they admit there were no specific details of a nature of an attack. And again, they rely on anonymous sources. Now, this is what we mean. I mean by unfreedom of the press. This is what the president means by fake news. And these are these constant hit jobs. The Israeli election is October 27. And now this is probably the third or fourth round of this story. And now it’s in The New York Times. And they have three reporters, Adam Rasgon, Mark Mazzetti and Ronen Bergman. As Israelis prepare to vote next month, the question of who bears responsibility for failing to prevent a Hamas led attack on October seven, 2023 has become a dominant issue and one of Israel’s most consequential campaigns in history. This was released late this morning to try and counter Netanyahu’s brilliant speech at the United Nations. So they held it back. And all they’re doing is regurgitating the disproven character assassination attempt earlier. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking an unprecedented seventh, seventh term. Understand terms. There could be five years, could be two years, could be one year. It’s 14 years he’s been there and not Syria. In other words, at different times has placed the blame on national security officials. While his critics have said he must personally answer for the failures. When I read an Israeli newspaper reported earlier this month that Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the president of the United Arab Emirates, had given Mr. Netanyahu a secret warning that Hamas was planning a major attack. The question took on even greater urgency. Mr. Netanyahu denied the report. But a person who said they had spoken with the sheikh and another person who said they had been briefed by someone on the call between the two leaders, told The New York Times that the Emirati leader had secretly reported to Mr. Netanyahu that Hamas that Hamas was considering a major attack. But the UAE denies it. They said we don’t do communications this way, warning of attacks and so forth and so on. Had this head of state, the head of state was already denying, denied. And of course, they say what warning about what in specific. Now, we’ll continue this because it’s important. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
Here’s another one. Look at this, Rich. I bet you didn’t hear about this in the Atlantic, the left wing Atlantic, and this guy, Jeffrey Goldberg. Wow. Major scoop via the Atlantic. Egypt’s intelligence chief warned Israel that gas was about to blow just weeks before October 7th. Mr. Producer. Wow. It’s incredible. Wasn’t this reported in? Late 2023, I think. I’m pretty sure it was. So here we go. And this is the way it works. And you can see the involvement in the American media. The same American media that is linked so thoroughly and completely ideologically with the Democrat Party and the Democratic Socialists of America. This is how it works. And so we have major efforts at interfering with the election in another country in Israel, the Atlantic and the New York Times. Same day, I think. Picking up on a radical left wing newspaper. In Israel. Is The New York Times basically regurgitating the same thing with their own anonymous sources, of course. But we have sources on the record speaking for the monarchy itself, saying, no, it’s not how we work. And they even admit that while there weren’t any specifics or details. Okay. And then over the top comes the Atlantic. The Egyptians. So concerned they are about the safety and security of the of the Israelis. We tipped them off. We told them. And the Israelis are so incompetent, as we all know. Their intelligence services. Not even their politicians, their intelligence services minister. They’re so incompetent that they when they were tipped off by the Egyptians, they sat on their hands. Does that make sense to you? Does that make sense to anybody out there? If something doesn’t make sense, then it didn’t happen. Unless you’re chasing, you know, shiny objects. Let me ask you another question. Have you ever seen so much attention by our media, by Democratic politicians, to a tiny little country? That they’re trying to destroy. In public opinion that they’re trying now to to choke off from having the kinds of weapons systems this tiny little country needs to protect itself from 200 million Arabs. We now have Chris Coons. Who’s so worried about affordability, Who’s so worried about you in Delaware? That he’s now making threats to the government of Israel, that they are going to conduct themselves as he demands and as the Democrats demand when it comes to Judea and Samaria, the literal birthplace of their faith. My faith. While at the same time they’re promising to boycott. And they cut off resources and support for the state of Israel. Wow. Tell you all within three years of October seven, 2023, the attack at the Nova Festival and in these. These kibbutzim. Within three years. Report after report after report says, no, there was not genocide in Gaza. But to show you how deep this is now. For lunch. I went to a place I like to go to. Not often, but every now and then. Little Italian restaurant. And I go at a time when there aren’t many people there and there’s a certain meal that I love there. And I went there for lunch around, oh, 3:00 or so. And there was the owner. I’m very friendly with him. I’ve known him probably 25 years. Speak to broken English, hard working guy, quite conservative. And he says to me in his Italian broken English, What did you think of Netanyahu’s speech? And I said, I thought it was fantastic. He said, Yeah, but, you know. I’m troubled by the photos I have seen. Of their soldiers murdering babies. Mr. Producer. Of their soldiers murdering babies. He’s talking about these fake photographs and so forth. I said, Oh, good, good. I said that did not happen. That there are at least three reports that say there was not genocide there. And. We have other reports that talk about how the IDF actually is the most humane military. One of them so is ours on the face of the earth. John Spencer cited by the Prime Minister. But also I’ve had him on my programs and I’ve cited it myself, but he’s not the only one. It’s all a massive lie. And it’s still being repeated. And that old that old line about the truth never catches up with a lie. Or some have said it takes forever the truth to catch up with a lie. It’s all true. It is true. And you still have people on MSNBC, on CNN. You still have podcasters and others. Who keeps saying this and keep pushing this, even though it’s not true. And starvation is not true. It none of it is true. What’s true, of course, is. That Hamas. Stole food that Hamas. Was taxing food that Hamas was then selling the food. Approximately one ton of food over the course of two and a half years was delivered to each Gazan. Each one. There is no starvation. There is no malnutrition. There is no genocide. But it can’t undo the damage that has been done. When I walk into a restaurant, a really nice guy who Jesse said, Well, I just watched the news. That’s what they’re saying on the news. And he’s right. That’s what they’re saying on the news. He doesn’t go on the Internet. He doesn’t read the reports. He doesn’t you know, he just sees what’s on the news. Or what’s in The New York Times. And that’s how it works. And when you have individuals. Podcasters talk show hosts. Cable TV hosts, network hosts, newspapers, websites, Democrats relentlessly repeating this stuff. Repeating it when you have the Chris Hollins. The Bernie Sanders, the Talibs and Omar’s the AOC. And NGOs and think tanks. Organizations of the left and the right sang all this stuff. Over and over again. A media outlets. I mean, a story came out the other day that a Hamas journalist, quote unquote, a Palestinian journalist, had video. Video. And what Hamas was doing. But Hamas was doing. To the kidnapped individuals. But he sat on it because he didn’t want Hamas to lose supports what he said. And when we have now hard information that most of the so-called journalists. Palestinian journalists working for. Al Jazeera and other outlets were actually terrorists. Several dozen of them. Gets no attention whatsoever. None. Just that the Israelis were silencing journalists who didn’t agree with them. The Israelis were killing babies. The Israelis were starving the Gazans. The Israelis are committing genocide over and over and the Qataris are funding it and supporting the Saudis are funding it and supporting it. The Turks are funding it and supporting the communist Chinese. And the Russians are doing the same thing. The Democrat Party is regurgitating it. The woke right neo fascists and their ilk are regurgitating it and repeating it. It is a cacophony. It’s just it’s a daily orchestra of this stuff. And you can’t stop it. It’s just completely out of control right now. And it is constant. Roy Conn. Mankind again puts out another video Most Jew hatred, anti-Semitic video we can imagine. There’s no price to pay for that. No political price. No price at all. The New York Times puts out another phony, phony story, regurgitating what that Hart said about Netanyahu in the UAE. And there it is. It’s out there. And it’ll be repeated and people will read and they’ll believe it. Now, The Atlantic’s All the Egyptians warned. Israel warned them What? So now the Egyptians. So I said, Well, maybe the Saudis did and maybe Qatar did and maybe Turkey did. Oh, yeah. Maybe the all the Arab countries. Warn the Israelis about the. Coming. Hamas attack. Of course they didn’t. It’s ridiculous. Oh, no, you don’t understand. Here the Egyptians told Israeli intelligence and they did nothing. One of the most. Incredible intelligence services on the face there. They just heard it and they didn’t do anything. They just, you know, sat on it. That’s not the way it works over there. And I just have a little voice. You may think. Even though this platform is massive. Even though our audiences combined are massive. It’s not 330 million. It’s not 180 million. I would say when you put all the numbers together, we’re probably around 15 million, give or take. But that’s still a small percentage of the body politic out there, right? Important. You’re very, very important. Plus, you can speak to other people, too. So it regenerates. You know, that’s important. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
You know, we’re the voice of America here. So I got to straighten out a lot of this stuff that comes out. You know, I want you to believe that socialism is being embraced by America. It’s not by the Democrats, always by illegal immigrants. I have no doubt about that. They want you to believe that there was this incredible amount of intelligence that the prime minister got or the prime minister’s office got or Israeli intelligence got, and they just sat on it. And that’s why there was the attack on October 7th. And this is all intended to help all the weaker candidates, the more leftist candidates in Israel, to try and get them elected, because it’s a big deal in Israel, as you can imagine. So they’re trying to show that Netanyahu and his government screwed up. That’s what they’re trying to show because they want them to lose. Just like they want Trump to lose here. And they want to turn us into one big Europe. And in Israel’s case, they can’t afford to screw up or they’ll cease to exist. When you really think about it, the media in this country and the Democrats are all in with the slum or Nazi regime in Tehran, the way they conduct themselves and undermine the war effort and try to undermine the the Israeli war effort. On top of all that, they really do stand with Hamas. They stand with Hamas. Nothing shakes our media or the Democrats. All they want is power. And they have determined that the way to get powers to replace the citizenry here with Islamists and Marxists and as many illegal aliens as humanly possible, and they have their federal district courts all loaded with activists to make sure the ability to deport them is very complicated, complex and difficult, filled with one obstacle after another. And then they they changed the voting systems and they keep people on rolls who are dead or shouldn’t be on rolls. And then they have their courts holding that up, too. And by the way, California Supreme Court just did that. Just did it. And so they’re all crooked, they’re all radicals, they’re all power hungry. They hate you and me. They hate Mr. and Mrs. Citizen. They hate our our constitutional structure. They really do believe in the radical so-called progressive, a.k.a. communist movement. And if the Islamists can help them get where they want to go, then they will import more and more Islamists. Of course, the Islamists in the end will hang them all from a telephone pole, but they don’t really think ahead that far. Sickening, sickening this fantastic country. What we’re going to put up with here. It’s beyond the pale. We’ll be right back.
