Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. We got a couple of races going. So I want to really focus in like a laser on some of these candidates that are running and some of the things they’ve said. So while people are in their vehicles heading to the voting place, I hope conservatives mostly you’ll know what we’re dealing with here. I do want to get into Iran a little bit later as well, as well as some of the other issues out there. But there’s Abdul Al-said, who is running for the Democrat nomination. Some people say he’ll get it. I don’t know if he will or not. And I’m not here to tip the scales, but he is a very, very sick person, is full of hate and evil, and he hates this country. And he’s also one of the biggest hypocrites around, as is his wife. Medicare for All. But his wife doesn’t take Medicare. She doesn’t take Medicaid. She doesn’t take private insurance. It’s cash. That’s it. Think about that. He keeps going around being called a doctor. He’s not a doctor. He’s a phony and a fraud. And then he says, Hey, he’s not part of the DSA. Of course he’s not part of the DSA. Well, whether he is or not, he’s a commie, he’s a jihadi, he’s an Islamist. And can you imagine him in the United States Senate? I cannot. So they’re big, big stakes going on here, ladies and gentlemen. Big stakes. So here is Abdul Al Sayeed, eight years ago, another man as an adult. So eight years ago is not that long ago in terms of his adult career and life and life. So here he is. And I want you to listen because these people have said things and written things in the past that they’re denying or they’re pretending they didn’t or they’re just, you know, giving us a bunch of words salad and addressing it. Cut and go. I look forward to pushing forward legislation that would preempt localities from participating with ICE and using their local resources to do the same. Beyond that, we’ve also got to make sure that in the state we are not discriminating by documentation status. Right now, if you’re undocumented, you don’t get access to a driver’s license. So you’re stuck. You don’t get access to a lot of the basic things the state offers everybody else. And I think that’s ridiculous. And so we’ve got to stop discrimination discriminating that way. He was I believe he was running for governor. But regardless, you understand he wants people to have driver’s licenses, even if they’re here illegally. No driver’s licenses, open up doors to a lot of things, don’t they? And he knows that, too. He says you don’t get access to a lot of basic things the state offers everybody else. That is because you’re an illegal alien. So please understand in Michigan if you’re going to vote. Look, if you’re going to vote for this guy, there’s no hope for you anyway. But those of you who are on the fence, that there’s probably only a little bit of hope for you anyway as well. Understand this guy wants to turn America into what you saw in Spain. In fact, the Democrats and these people, meaning the leftists, they were applauding what they saw in Spain. They thought it was fantastic. Fantastic. Now, I want to address directly. I won’t address directly what you said the other day at a rally yesterday, because I hear this from the left and Democrats and Marxists and and these professors all the time. Carl Levin go. Founded on the idea that we could compromise on whether or not people as a function of the color of their skin could be enslaved by other people. How did love the idea that all people are created equal, all men, but that only medicine matter? And now. Founded on this notion that women should not have the basic rights to participate in the democracy in the first place. And yet. The thing that America does better than anyone else is that we actually have the power to look those foundational failures in the eye and correct them. Yes. And for as many as you can do that he do. Well, the fact that certain people are denied their rights. Yes. And still, because of how they pray or who they love or how they identify the fact that we’ve still ported over all of that historical racism into the ways that we continue to segregate all society. Today. We have the opportunity to correct them. And the process by which we correct is the very democracy we’re participating in here, and that’s around democracy is the technology age old time laws against diseases that killed an aunt and uncle I never got to meet. I love America. Come on, now. And I love America enough to want America to be America for all of our children. In reflecting on those past 250 years. It’s impossible. I don’t want you just to go home and feel something. You feel something out of that feeling. I want you to believe in your own power to go. Incorrect. I know you’re going to have some hard conversations. Yeah, They’re going to tell you what you cannot have and should not buy for. To borrow an incredible phrase from my colleague seemed to be colleague, Senator Warren. They’re going to tell you that the average quality care we’re in, that there’s no point anyway, But we don’t like them when they tell us that we cannot have health care. We don’t back down when they tell us that we have to be okay with ice patronizing or freeze, We go back down when they tell us we can’t have. The unions are not good days wage warfare days later we don’t get. Hmm. All right. Let’s begin with a couple of things. One of the things that the left does is they take the culture of historical past and they play to today. He talks about the compromise on slavery. Because of the color of your skin and the background where you come from. When somebody speaks like that at a political rally in a demagogic way, of course, it’s impossible to unravel it right there. And then. But where did most of these black slaves come from? Obviously, Africa. The Caribbean, too, but mostly Africa. And who was it? And when you really read this stuff, it’s very important. Who was it that sold the slaves to the Europeans? Who brought them to America? It was black tribes defeating other black tribes. That’s what it was. That’s what it was. Slavery was something that was occurring in Africa, throughout the continent. Slavery was something that was occurring in the Middle East, in the Far East. Slavery was something that was occurring in parts of Europe, but not so thoroughly in Europe. And slavery was introduced to the United States or America at the time as well. Slavery existed in Central and South America. That doesn’t make it right. It doesn’t make it right today when slavery exists in parts of Africa. When Islamists are slaughtering Christians and enslaving Christians. Over slavery exists and part of the Middle East today where Islamists again are are killing not just Christians, but Jews and also significantly other Muslims and enslaving them. He talks about the treatment of women. Nowhere are women treated as poorly as they are, as in Muslim countries, mostly in the Middle East, but not purely so, including in Pakistan, including in Muslim enclaves in Africa. Women are treated horrifically. Girls are treated horrifically. The vote for women. Not many states actually did allow women to vote. Several did not. That was changed. It wasn’t changed because of democracy. It was changed because of Republicanism. Little R Republicanism. There wasn’t some big vote. The Constitution was amended. Republicanism, the very constitutional system that piker that Al said, that the Democratic Socialists of America, the Bernie Sanders attack again and again and again. The framers of our Constitution knew that everything couldn’t be fixed right there and then in a five month period in Philadelphia. But it’s the greatest emancipator of all time, Abraham Lincoln pointed out. They created the foundational principles, the foundational institutions to do exactly that. It took a civil war. A civil war. And they left it to their progeny, their children and their grandchildren to help work this through. And that’s what took place. Nirvana has never existed anywhere where mankind has existed anywhere on the face of the earth. The closest thing we’ve ever gotten to is here in America. Right here. I find it interesting when Islamists talk about the right for people to love who they wish. That’s not how Islam preaches. That’s not how it works. Or to pray as they wish. That’s not how Islam works. And we’ve heard the imams and what they’ve had to say about that, haven’t we? Our society is not segregated. It’s the most integrated society on the face of the earth. It’s the most diverse society on the face of the Earth where segregation is occurring today. Aren’t these Islamist fortresses. These communities. That are segregated from the rest of the population and you see it throughout Europe. A concentration. An abnormal concentration. You have concentration of people with different ethnic and religious backgrounds. That’s always been the case. It’s still the case. It’s okay, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about a different language. I’m talking about a different law, Sharia law, instead of the constitution. A complete lack of assimilation. It is the only community. That does not assimilate into the rest of the country. It’s the only faith. That requires people. To become Islamist in order to pray to God legitimately. Judaism and Christianity. Do not preach that and never have. For that matter, neither of Hinduism and Buddhism. Believe in your own power, he says. But communism is not is not about the power of the individual. It never has been. Whether it’s a Rousseau or a Hegel or Marx. Whether it’s Lenin and Trotsky. And Stalin, whether it is Mao and G. Whether it’s on. Castro, whomever. Pick them all, pick any of them. It’s never been about individual liberty. It’s been about the collective pain, about the group. And then they claim there’s a common good and they define what the common good is. And the common good as what? It’s an endless revolution to seek what’s impossible. The kind of society that could never exist and should never exist to rejigger and re-engineer the human being. Health care for all. And I wrote about this in American Marxism. If you haven’t read it, you should. I pointed out that the so-called civil rights efforts. Some of which were legitimate, some of which are not. Because everything is not a civil right issue. It demeans real civil right issues. Health care for all they treat is a civil rights issue. You see, they’ve turned the Marxist agenda into a civil rights issue, and that’s now how they define democracy and civil rights and so forth. Everybody getting Medicare, which means Medicare will be destroyed. The attack on ice because they do not want people here illegally deported. And so forth and so on. Outside is a disaster. If you’re in Michigan, you’re even flirting with voting for him. You’re not sure. You vote for him, you vote for your own demise. And worse than that, since the rest of us can’t vote in Michigan, you’re voting for the demise of the United States of America. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
This guy who lectures us, we Americans. These people are here, newly, newly here, first or second generation. Lecturing us about our country, about our history. When you attack America, you’re attacking Americans. America isn’t a thing. It’s a country with citizens. And he was with this guy Piker all day. Piker, the man who said we deserve 911. And he feels no allegiance towards the United States. How many of you would campaign with a person like that? I’m talking to you folks in Michigan. How many of you would would want to embrace somebody like that? And many of you know better and a lot better than what’s going on here. People jumping off the Twin Towers, the Twin Towers. Collapsing. The horror death. The plane flown into the Pentagon. The plane where the heroes took it over crashed in central Pennsylvania. Are you kidding me? You know better than this. And these people are rooting for the enemy. They’re rooting for the terrorists.

Segment 3
Here we be so CBS News today they actually asked Abdul al Syed. Well, you’ve been campaigning with this guy, Hassan Puka. The things he has said. And that seems to be fine with you. So he tries to present himself. I’m not Democratic socialists of America. I’m not a communist. I love America. So they got all the lies and propaganda down and all the communists always do. I love America except for their sadness and their sadness. Yeah, that’s why he’s campaigning with a guy that was in a male uniform saying, We deserve 911. That he has. No. No allegiance to America. Then he says he supports Hamas. He’s campaigning with the guy openly, right? Cut where you go. You know, there’s one other guy that you’ve campaigned with that has raised eyebrows, this on paper. His eyebrows went up. Yes. Yes. You know, I raised my eyebrow. Was campaigning with him a good idea? Look, I want to reach out to his viewers. He has a 3 million person platform and I have a 14 and a half million person platform, a producer, don’t I? This is what these podcaster clowns don’t, don’t understand. And they’re misled by entities like Talk magazine and others. Totally misled. But we have a massive audience here. People come and go. You know, every hour. Every day. But 3 million is a joke. I’m just saying, 3 million is a joke. Go ahead. Disagree with. If you watched any of our content together. And there are things that he and I agree with. On the question of whether or not we should be guaranteeing people health care or, you know, that would be like me saying, you know, there are Klansmen that I we agree on some things and disagree with saying there’s Nazis. We agree on some things and disagree with some things. But what are you talking about? These are evil, disgusting people. Puka is an evil, disgusting person. It’s not a matter whether you agree or disagree with some stuff. It’s the stuff that he has said that is so. So grotesque. That you shouldn’t want to be within a within a mile of the guy, within 100 miles of the guy. But he does and ro con man does and a whole bunch of Democrats have. But this guy, Abdul al-Sayed, has been rubbing up against the guy. Go ahead. But people, we agree. I think we should be providing health care here. On the question of your wife, doesn’t your wife doesn’t take any insurance whatsoever, how do you explain the hypocrisy in your own family? You’re demanding that that health care be free for all. And your wife demands people pay with either a check, a credit card or cash. She won’t even take insurance because she wants to hold dollar. The whole dollar. Because she knows she won’t get it under Medicare or Medicaid or even under private insurance. And Medicare for All will destroy Medicare. Medicare is supposed to be an insurance program. Many of you are paying into it or have paid into it, correct? Well, how do how do you let all these freebies in illegal aliens? And other people haven’t put one penny into the system. Sounds to me like you’re getting ripped off, but it can’t work. Actually, it won’t work. So they keep track of Medicare for All, which is saying Medicare for America. You know, that’s great. But there’s no pushback. Nobody even knows how to respond to these pukes. Go ahead. The fascism of the Trump administration. We agree we should probably there is no fascism of the Trump administration. The fascism is you, your buddy Pielke, your whole ideology, the difference between fascism and communism without getting too intellectual or scholarly about it. In the end, it’s not a big difference at all whether you wind up in a concentration camp in Mao’s China. Or in Hitler’s Germany doesn’t much matter because you’re not going to survive. Does it? Yeah. Fascism of the Trump administration. He has followed every court order, every court decision. And he’s enforced the immigration laws. He’s enforced all these other laws. There is no fascism in the Trump administration. The fascism is in the Biden administration that preceded it that purposely. Undermined and usurped our federal immigration laws, among other laws. The fascism. Is it an ideology that wants to destroy our independent Supreme Court, that wants open borders so we have no sovereignty so you can completely destroy our nation the way Spain is destroying itself and are its madman leader over there? You want to destroy the Electoral College? You want to destroy it because you you don’t want three fourths of the states that have representation. You want to pack not just the Supreme Court and turn it into a left wing Communist Politburo, but you also want to destroy the Senate by adding four Democrats, by cherry picking one city, D.C. and one territory, Puerto Rico. So you see, they’re not fascists? No, no, not at all. They’re not. They’re not communists. No, no, not at all. They love America. Can’t you tell? Oh, they love America. No, they hate America. I want to go to this guy, Van Hollen. He wants to be majority leader in the Senate. Because Schumer will be taken out politically, of course, in New York some point. But Chris Van Hollen is a guy. You may have noticed him. He is literally. Or at least he appears to me to be literally translucent. And so there is no there is no racial category for him over at the Commerce Department and the Census Bureau that said, he’s a radical nutjob at a Maryland. He’s a radical nutjob and I understand his wife is too. But why drag her into it? But why not? Right. Equality for all. Nonetheless. He’s a real Jew hater. He’s a real Israel hater. He was spewing Hamas talking points just like Bernie Sanders and the rest of them. Is that disgusting fraud. A disgusting fraud. That’s what he is. Now listen to what he has to say. Cut sex. Go. I will say when it comes to, you know, this, these different labels that people throw around, I mean, I hear the president now calling, you know, Democrats, the Communist Party and all this kind of nonsense. Why is that nonsense? In fact, Van Hollen, you’re about to prove him, right? Go ahead. Remind people that when FDR was formulating the Social Security program, Republicans and others viciously attacked him for being a communist and a radical socialist. So let’s keep all of this in perspective. Isn’t that amazing? They have to go back to Social Security in the 1930s almost 100 years ago. That’s how they’re going to defend themselves. FDR. Well, what did FDR do, ladies and gentlemen, wasn’t just Social Security. NPR didn’t come up with a Social Security program that was actually the brainchild. Of the Germans in the 1860s, which is perfectly fine. But. This Social Security program has been bankrupted by the radical Democrats. They’ve stolen money out of it. They used it for general operating. And six years from now, according to the trustees, not me, it’s going to go broke. And I wrote an entire book on this. Plunder and deceit, a whole chapter on Social Security and Medicare, and what the Democrats had done, doing what they’re doing to it. But I’ve been banging pots and pans and ringing bells around here for a long time. About where this country is today and where it’s going economically. Socially, culturally, militarily, you name it. What else did Franklin Roosevelt do? America. Let’s see. He sent 120,000 Japanese-Americans to concentration camps. Oh, yeah, he did. That said, okay, Chris Van Hollen. What else did he do in 1940 when the. When the bipartisan bill that had passed the House and the Senate hit his desk to pass a federal law, a federal law at his desk to outlaw. Ready for this lynching a black people. He refused to sign it because he was worried it would cost of votes in the South and the upcoming election. He got that, and that’s when Jesse Owens. Jesse Owens, another prominent black. Voted Republican. And did so openly. So he wouldn’t sign that. What else? What else did they. Eight Franklin Roosevelt do. He put in place. A strict quota system that reduced the number of Jews that could come into the United States from Europe. At the height of the Holocaust. Why did he do that? Why do you think he did it? It was done through a State Department. But they all want to be FDR. Don’t you know America? They all want to be FDR. And there have been brilliant studies done, especially by two professors out of UCLA about 15 years ago explaining how FDR was socialist policies because it was more than Social Security. He created industrial trusts. He created price controls, wage controls. He did all kinds of things that prolonged what would have been a recession, turned it into a depression, and it expanded for ten years. And there have been many writings on this. Because socialism doesn’t create wealth. It doesn’t create income, it doesn’t create prosperity. It’s the redistribution of wealth. As the government determines. And so when you’re trying to battle out of a recession or stagflation or certainly a depression, you’re trying to grow the economy. You’re trying to build the economy. Well, government doesn’t know how to do that. And socialism is not the answer. So I’d love to have a debate with Chris Van Hollen, but it will never happen. I’d love to have a debate with Bernie Sanders, but it’ll never happen. I’d love to have a debate with AOC, but it’ll never happen. And they could defend their great Franklin Roosevelt. Oh, and by the way, by the way, Mr. Van Hollen, by the way, Mr. Ro. Con man. Franklin Roosevelt. Franklin Roosevelt was a wartime leader. A wartime leader where everything everything was subject to being targeted, including entire cities with entire civilian populations. How come you don’t mention that? Ever. Now, I’m not against winning wars and doing what you have to do to win, I must confess. Especially when it’s life and death for a country. But Franklin Roosevelt wouldn’t have closed his eyes to Iran any more than Ronald Reagan. If they knew they were actually getting a nuclear weapon. But Van Hollen does. Sanders does. The entire Democrat Party does. Isn’t that interesting? I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
All right, let’s see here. FDR was called radical socialist for Social Security. You know, when you really look at FDR history, it was really quite an abomination. And if you want to read about that, a lot of people still read. I think you do in this audience, though, if you have my book, The Democrat Party Hates America, I discuss FDR and I take that phony varnish off of FDR so you can actually see what was going on with the man. FDR was a racist. He wouldn’t meet with black leaders. Did you know this? I told you about the 1940 anti federal lynching law. They wouldn’t sign it. He was also an anti-Semite. Did you know this? In his own pen, in his own words, when he was the assistant secretary of the Navy or. In other positions. Any help? And one of the assistant secretaries he appointed at the State Department, a good buddy of his. Was the guy who enforced these very strict quotas. The famous movie on the Exodus. Well, I really happen. And so much else, really. The media didn’t report much on the Holocaust. Now, some of the Democrat professors have written some great books on this subject. They try and sort of give FDR a pass and so forth. But FDR really didn’t want much known about it. So we can talk about FDR. They used to call him a communist and a socialist. Oh, okay. But what does that have to do with defending their current positions? They’re talking about a big tent. A big tent. Is the big tent big enough for Klansmen and Nazis? What’s the difference with a piker? When Al Sayeed or any of these people, when it comes to the things are saying about terrorism, the things they’re saying about our country. Just like the woke, right? Neo fascist. Now, you’ll notice when people talk about the Woke Reich and I’ve spelled it and really have set the stage for this crisis, the Woke Reich. You notice they don’t say the woke Reich neo fascist. Have you noticed that Rick gets here with me? I don’t hear Rich. The woke neo fascists.
