Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. It’s hard to know where to begin. Some days I’m watching something that’s very important. More and more TV hosts, radio hosts, good podcasters. Are talking about this fusion of Marxism and Islamism and. How this is a a cancer on society. The president’s talking about the communists. And what’s interesting is we’ve been talking about this for a very long time. You and I. Now, this book I wrote, American Marxism, came out. I’m trying to remember I think it was during COVID, it came out 2021. It’s not that long ago, what, five years ago sold 1.3 million copies, which means many of you bought it and read it. And yet most of the people talking to us today on TV and radio and podcasts have not. They act like there was no warning ever given. Even talk about things that are straight out of the book. That everything the Democrats do is about power. Where have you heard that before? Power. They want power. My God, we spent months and months on that and an entire book on that fact. I think I called it on Power. And that book came out just a couple of years ago. Early last year or mid-last year. If you read American Marxism and on Power, you will know everything that’s going on. You will understand everything that’s going on. More so than the people who are talking to you about it today. Now, I’ve spent a lot of time on the Internet over the last. I guess it’s been six months. Mr. Producer, would you say that’s going to slow down? I don’t think there is as much benefit in in that. But I wanted to explore it. I don’t find that there’s a whole lot of. Profundity substance. There’s a lot of bickering, a lot of child’s play. There is some. Good information. There was some good people, but it’s the exception, not the rule. I’m not putting anybody down. I’m just explaining it. And so. You only have so much time in the day and I’m spending 20 hours a day on these things. Working harder than I ever have. And I want to. But it has to be time well-spent. It has to be time well spent. And I think my best time spent is right here on radio, my TV show. And in my books. But it troubles me immensely that individuals who are talking about current events are not that well schooled. And I don’t mean by teachers, I mean by themselves. They don’t spend a lot of time. Really digging in on the subject. It’s so now we’re talking about the red, green, Green, Red Alliance. I don’t like that because it confuses people. Why don’t we be blunt about it? The Marxist Islamist alliance. And they talk about the woke Reich. It’s the woke Ari IKEA. I coined that phrase. People say they did it. We know what we do here because it is a quasi, if not full blown neo fascist movement. It was gaining a foothold in the Republican Party. I took it on. You were with me every step of the way. About 14 months ago. That whole element now has been exposed. Now they want to create a third party or a opposition party to the conservative Republicans. And so their goal now is to defeat us and to elect radical Marxist Islamist Democrats. Because these alliances are about power. That’s what they’re about. And if they can’t find power in one place, they’ll look in another place. Now, I think it’s important that we actually dig into this. You know, a good friend of mine, Jeffrey Lord, has been a friend of mine a very long time from Pennsylvania as well. When American Marxism came out. He wrote about it. Almost a year ago to the day July eight, 2021 excuse me, 2021, not a year ago. Five years ago to the day. He says. As usual, Mark Levin pulls no punches. His very first chapter in his new book, American Marxism. It’s Here opens with a seriously precise description of the challenge America faces. Levin writes The counter-revolution to the American Revolution is in full force. It can no longer be dismissed or ignored for its devouring our society and culture swirling around our everyday lives and ubiquitous in our politics, schools, media and entertainment. Once a mostly unrelatable fringe and subterranean movement. It is here and it is everywhere. The counter revolution movement of which she speaks is Marxism. He says it’s Mark’s Communist Manifesto recall that famously divided the world into oppressor and oppressed. Levin astutely notes that the use of this formula in today’s America by the left, means that either you are part of the righteous revolution for liberation and transformation or you are not. This explains, but only in part the cowardice of corporatist, I wrote. Professional athletes, broadcasters, artists, actors, writers, journalists who in the face of such tumult. Buckle under the pressure, seek to avoid the mobs, notice through various forms of appeasement and capitulation. And in some cases participate in their own transfiguration and even disempowerment. Lord Wright’s no More prescient description could be made of an event that occurred before American Marxism was released. Its official published date is next week, and it goes into what happened in Atlanta, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and all that. She says. This was a vivid example of Levin’s description of corporations buckling under the pressure to avoid the mobs Notice. Discussing the role of the mob, Mark zeroes in on Marxist anarchist ideology of Antifa and Black Lives Matter. In fact, while after Black Lives Matters popularity had surged in 2020, a 2015 video surfaced that revealed the BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, describing herself and her fellow BLM organizers as, quote, trained Marxists, unquote. Truth counts. Mass movements, Mark also notes, relies significantly on indoctrination and brainwashing, which is exactly the case with BLM and Antifa. And now we can add this so-called Democratic socialist movement. American Marxism in this entire chapter devoted to Hate America Inc. And in it, Mark explains the long history of those who have openly pushed the Marxist agenda in America’s colleges and universities. Levin writes that progressive intellectuals of the late 1800s were hostile toward capitalism and constitutional republican systems that established barriers against tyrannies of various kinds, including that which is born from the mob or centralized autocracy. And of course, that would become known as progressivism. On the eve of American Marxism publication publication. America had just passed the through the traditional July four holiday marks. Description of the results generated by Hate America Inc was on vivid display. The headline on July six, New York Post, was nothing if not confirmation a marked point. It read Red, White and woke. July 4th weekend became the liberal bash fest of America. The New York Post reported liberal politicians and commentators took special joy in celebrating July 4th by denouncing America. Statue of Liberty was not a symbol of freedom, but a symbol of hypocrisy. The flag was polarizing. The national anthem doesn’t speak for everyone or anyone. Among the remarks by these hate America Marxists was this jewel of a tweet from Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri. She said. When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this. The freedom they’re referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and black people still aren’t free. And then it goes on American Marxism. Also lasers in on critical race theory, correctly calling it what so many outraged parents. The land throughout the land have seen is that it’s taught to their school age children mark rights and short CRT is an insidious and racist Marxist ideology spreading throughout our culture and society. He cites George, a new research professor of public policy and political science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. He writes The two bestselling proponents of CRT, Robin D’Angelo and Abraham Kendi CRT begins with the presumption that race is the primary way to identify and analyze people and consequently posits a racial hierarchy that supposedly exists with whites on top. Blacks on bottom. Individual behavior is insignificant because everyone in America functions within the society as systemic racism, structural racism, institutional racism. Not only is this correct, writes Lord, but in fact the Angelo and Kendi and CRT itself are nothing more than recycled George Wallace isms. Wallace For those who came in late, was the 1960s era Democratic governor of Alabama, who proudly proclaimed he supported segregation today, tomorrow, and forever. In other words, Wallace, as was CRT, proponents believe that race is the primary way to Idanre. And it goes on. And the important part of American Marxism is I was laying out in this book. The revolution and the transformation that was taking place. Much of it right before our eyes, but much of it under the radar in our classrooms. I pointed out the Marxist books that were being used to teach history, that were being teach to use political science and how American Marxism. Was an Americanized form, a customized tailored form of Marxism applicable to the United States. Where they were using race, not just wealth. And anti-capitalism, but race and ethnicity. You can see it now, the so-called Palestinian cause. These are key to who they are and what they are. And that’s why there’s a marriage between the Islamists and the Marxists in the United States. And I watched our friend Will Cain just do an interview on Fox of the leader of the Democratic Socialists of America. And he was asked flat out. Are you a communist? He said, Look, they’re not right like like in Russia and so forth. And they said, you know, Soviet. You said, No, no, no, no, the Soviet Union’s dead and so forth and so on. But the follow up was. That was a head fake. He’s an American Marxists, an American communist. That again, they are customizing. And. Make and tailoring. The Marxist ideology for the American culture in the American society. This is what’s been going on for more than 20 years. But it really. He came to a height five years ago. And of course, is in full display right now. The reason why October 7th and the Slaughter of Jews on October seven, 2023. For many people seemed like, wow, automatically. And unbelievably, these revolutionary movements came to the fore. Is it because they were? You know, doing so. Out of nowhere. They were planned. There’s systemic. The Palestinian cause. On October 8th, even before the Israelis responded, they were talking about genocide in Gaza. They were ready to go. Funded again by foreign governments as well. Qatar, among others. Iran. Funded in our country by billions and billions flowing into our our schools. There’s a reason why Qatar’s the number one. Founder of terrorism and terror front groups and ideology in America. And communist China’s number two. Because they have the same objective. American marches. Now, what does that have to do with on power? Stick with me. We’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Now, I know a lot of the men I read. Maybe you want to listen to an audio version. I don’t even know if they’re available. I checked Amazon. These books are all heavily discounted because Amazon is about moving as many products as they can. I’m not pushing this to make money. It’s not about making money. I’m not going to make a lot of money off this. It’s about you being the spokesman, the activist, the person at the dinner table, the breakfast table at church or synagogue or wherever you are explaining things to people. Explaining things to people now. It’s a very short segment now, and I want to extend this, obviously, well beyond the bottom of the hour. But now the book on Power, which is the last book I wrote, which came out about this time last year. About 11 months ago, give or take. I want to get into this with you, too, because. Those of you who are really, really smart and been with me a long time, you understand each one of these books really is a chapter, A chapter, a chapter. A chapter in a series of books. These ten books. These ten books, starting with the Supreme Court book. Men in black all the way up their own power. I suspect most of this will be viewed as, Wow, this is good stuff when I’m dead and gone and that’s fine. But I’m worried about the here and now and what’s going on in our country. So stick with me. It’s all very important. We’ll be right back.

Segment 3
All right. What about this power issue? You know, when I write a book, as you know, I spend four or five or six months explaining it on TV, on radio. That person to a number of people because I think it’s very important. On power begins. Many have written about and debated the issue of power. Clearly, the ancients and modern philosophers, scholars and statesmen alike. Stick with me. This is important. Why? Because power determines your social arrangements, quality of life. And more to the point of this book, whether you are free or enslaved or some degree of either. In short, it determines your personal faith, the faith of your community, and the fate of a nation. Yep. There are infinite ways to view power, innumerable contexts and circumstances in which to apply it. There’s truly no simple, concise, all purpose definition for what is meant by power. Clearly, however, it’s more than a mere word. To spend time thinking, talking or writing about it is not a mere abstraction, a useless, amorphous, a more an elitist as so terrorism. Power is a term meant to describe some kind of force or energy that surrounds us all the time is both ubiquitous in your life and the life of an entire society and is consequential in every way. Power is a core reality characteristic of human existence. Yet without more to go on such as context and circumstance, it can be ambiguous and elusive in all human pursuits, including personal pursuits and life events. Power matters. At a macro level, power shapes economies, politics and governments. Moreover, there are many variations implied powers, necessary powers, assumed powers, granted powers to find powers, and on and on. For most people, these are unstated and often unnoticed or obscure kinds of power. But they exist and they matter. Indeed, power is inextricably linked to liberty, although it’s not to be confused with liberty itself. Power determines if there’s too much liberty like anarchy or too little like tyranny, depending on how power is exercised, who exercises in if it is bound by human rights. The American Revolution is an important and obvious example of power properly pursued and exercised, the point of which does promote individual and societal liberty, including by means of representative, limited, divided government that is ordered liberty. Conversely, autocrats of every stripe and in all ages have exploited liberty to empower themselves at the expense of the liberty of others. Fact one’s use of liberty this way to expand one’s own power, to diminish, if not denude the liberty of others is in a real sense a paradox. And it is a cancer that apparently metastasizes over time within democracies. Of course, there are democracies that have lasted several centuries, but in the end they have all succumbed to the steady increase in the centralization of power. Any decline in individual and societal liberty. Sadly, this appears to be the nature of things right now, too. To be clear then, even the most widely conceived nation states, mindful of man’s abuses of power and establish with the intent of curbing and restraining that power, seem to fail in the end, Garner, Athens, Rome and numerous lesser societies. Democracy struggle against the centralization of power almost from the moment they’re established. And keep in mind the first book, American Marxism, I go into incredible, comprehensive detail about what is happening in our culture and our society and our educational system in school boards to parenting in our our culture. And what is Marxism? What is it? It’s it’s obviously a defective form of a philosophy, an ideology. But it is tyranny dressed up as humane fairness. In a word, it’s emotional. When you listen to the Marxist speak, it’s all about emotion. You deserve this and you should get that. But let’s go on with power. Because they’re related in a big damn way. History is replete with examples of tyrants grabbing power in the name of liberty. Prime example exists in Marxist regimes for liberation through revolution, class warfare with the masses, the so-called oppressed. I started to revolt against the powerful few, the so-called oppressors and the promise of liberty through community and collectivism results in hellish, genocidal police states ruling over the people in their name, but without their consent and with an iron fist. Again, this is not only a phenomenon of tyrannies. As I noted in my first book, I mean liberty and tyranny, not my first book, but an early book, Liberty and tyranny in our own country. President Abraham Lincoln observed that slave owners and abolitionists all claim to stand for liberty. Like liberty. In the context of power. Democracy is another word that is used by the power hungry to deceive and disarm. You know, like the Democratic Socialists of America. Democracy. That’s right. Democracy is often alluded to by those who reject it as they reject universal individual liberty. And where democracies exist would destroy them. In his book, Politics in the English Language, George Orwell writes about the perversion of political words used in a consciously dishonest way. And quoting him, that is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows us here to think he means something quite different. It’s almost universally Felt, writes Orwell, that when we call a country democratic, we are praising in it. Consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it’s a democracy and fear that they they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to anyone meeting. Now me the word democracy, like the word liberty, is frequently used as a rhetorical weapon to deceive the true intentions and conceal the real nature of the abusers. Again, these behaviors and tactics are not exclusive to tyrants and autocrats and autocracies. It’s a real and growing threat in Western societies as they increasingly centralize power in the name of unlimited, egalitarian and so-called righteous causes. Environmental justice. Economic justice. Social Justice. Equity Reparations. Nationalized health care. The existential threat of climate change and so forth, which require and in fact demand the centralization of power to supposedly ameliorate the perceived, claimed, and in some cases, manufactured societal maladies, the final resolutions of which are not only impossible, but are not necessarily intended to be solvable. The agitations, demands and related propaganda are sledgehammers with which to pummel the limited and divided institutional barriers to centralize power in democratic governments. That’s exactly what’s going on right now. So when you read American Marxism, you will understand the forces behind that. Some of them are ethnic, some of them are race related, some of them are economic related, some of them are sex and gender related. Some of them are all of them. And the use and pursuit. Of power. Let us narrow the focus. I start with the observation, which I believe is historically indisputably a potentially controversial. Which you can infer from what I have already written, that over the millennia, mankind has generally suffered more from the abuse of power and the concomitant diminution of liberty than from its humane and righteous application. There important exceptions, of course, the individual’s everyday life in society generally. But narrowing the focus even further in the long history of mankind, and even in modern times, the most pervasive form of governance under which most human beings live and have lived is authoritarian. Today, one need look only at the membership of the United Nations to prove the point. Some 70% of the world’s population currently lives under brutal autocratic regimes. This raises an unpleasant question. Is this the natural state of mankind? At least in the communal sense. Even if individuals themselves wish for and seek liberty, I term this negative power. So I’m creating a new philosophical framework here. I term this negative power. And I discuss that more fully in a later chapter called Negative Power. That said, in a Democratic negative power, typically in a democracy, negative power typically takes the form of a steadily increasing centralization of authority that starts slowly, but eventually spreads more quickly to cover all corners of the nation, moving closer toward a quasi autocratic model. It occurs primarily in three general ways the imposition by the few, for example, the judiciary, the peaceful vote of the many where the people will. They vote for their own demise or the slow install is institutionalization of an acquiescence to, as Thomas Hobbes characterized it, a leviathan that is a dominating and domineering army of non-representative bureaucrats. Of course, there are degrees to which centralization develops and occurs. Some more aggressive arrangements than others. This is happening right now. It’s why I’m taking the time to go through this happening right in front of your eyes. Centralization in moderation, which is intended to secure liberty that does not exist or undergird existing liberty that is threatened or diminished by factionalism. Mob rule or anarchy is of a different character than powers secured for power sake or with a tyrannical mindset or purpose. And again, looking at our own history, in the early days of our Republic, the Articles of Confederation were abandoned because the national government lacked the power to do much. And it’s explained by the National Archives just a few years after the Revolutionary War. Madison, Hamilton and Washington feared their young country was on the brink of financial collapse. America’s First Constitution, The Articles of Confederation, gave the Confederate Congress the power to make rules and request funds from the states, but it had no power to enforce them when they go on. That’s not the point right now. I just was explaining the point of. Negative power. Obviously human beings are imperfect. This is not much of a revelation. Yet it seems downplayed or ignored by too many in democracies who acquiesce to or even cheer for governmental centralization when wrapped in promises of a larger welfare state, ethnic, racial, economic empowerment, or godlike fixes to natural disasters and climate events. But the idea that the centralization of power, which necessarily concentrates authority in the hands of fewer imperfect individuals and whose base of knowledge is naturally narrow is a receipt for societal improvement, progress, stability and well-being is not only counterintuitive, but contrary to everyday human experience and mankind’s history. Indeed. What makes the individuals more perfect, less decision makers, more moral as people or more informed, wise or prudential than anyone else? Nothing. Autocrats are not known to possess such qualities or demonstrate them when exercising power. Most excel at acquiring power, but not much else. Indeed, those who achieve such a station exhibit a greater affinity for the darker side of human behavior, including corruption and dishonesty, immorality and hubris, anger, vainglory, ego, maniacal and so forth and so on. Although a rare good or perceived benefit may come from this wielding of power, such as the claim that the Italian fascist Benito Mussolini made the trains run on time. By the way, it’s a myth. It’s a it’s farcical, an awfully deadly delusion. Is this interesting to you, Mr. Wallace? Keep going. I will. Moreover, where is the evidence that concentrated power in the hands of administrative state, where the bureaucrats are consist of specially trained experts and societal organizers who know what is best for the people and know how best to achieve those ends, supposedly. Where is this ever existed? Anywhere? Certainly not in America. As will be discussed later. Contrarily, from Aristotle and Cicero to John Locke and Montesquieu and numerous others, philosophers and scholars have argued for the wisdom of diversified, dispersed, mixed power within governments. That is where power checks and balances power, which provides a greater likelihood of enlightened leadership and administration, greater respect and appreciation for the civil society and non-governmental parts of society, and more protection of individual sovereignty and free will. In essence, a positive power. A positive power structure attempts to contain and control the dark side of the human character and experience and emphasizes the capacity of free, civilized and just society. I’m just going to read a little bit more. But you can see I spent a lot of time digging into this issue, and there’s very few footnotes in this book or in notes, I guess they call them, because these are my own thoughts. Oh, excuse me. They’re my own thoughts. Think about this. I think we’d better take a break, actually. And then I want to get back to this because there’s just a few more paragraphs I’m going to read to you. And then we will sum up, because a lot of people are anxious right now, including me, worried about what’s happening to the country. You see the enemy within. You see the Supreme Court ruling yesterday. You’re very, very concerned about these elections. You see what’s happening to the Democrat Party. What are Republicans going to do? What if the Democrats take over? There’s a lot of tumult going on. It’s all intentional. We are, in fact, under attack by the enemy within. More the reason to understand what I’m trying to portray. We’ll be right back.

Segment 4
There’s a whole lot more. Stick with me. I want to I want to put a bow on this point about power as it relates to Marxism and then get into this Islamism aspect. I hope I’m not going too far too fast, but this is the way it works. We’ll be right back.
