Rough Transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America. I’m Mark Levin. Our number is 877-381-3811.  87, What is it? 877-381-3811. All right. Somebody was asking me a question. You know, it’s interesting, America, about this race last night to me is when you look at the breakdown of the vote, according to various data that are available. Now, what I have not seen so far is the Muslim vote in Michigan, but I’m going to assume it was well over 90% for El-Sayed. Now. What about the vote? Generally. The vote generally shows in those parts of Michigan where you have a high concentration of college graduates. And mostly white college graduates. Relatively wealthy white college graduates. That was his base. That’s where he did best. Again, I’m not counting ethnicity and religion and so forth. That’s where he did best. He did not do best. In fact, his opponent won in areas that there were mostly union workers and blue collar workers as well as blacks. Now, I don’t know how you build a Democrat party around. Elitists, basically. I don’t think that’s going to work in the long run. But so we have a couple of things going on here. Let’s let’s try and be as objective as possible. When you look at these races in these congressional districts that are heavily blue, heavily, heavily blue, are these candidates to okay, these communist candidates, these Islamist communist candidates? And they’re winning some of these these primaries against some of the more sort of Democrat and left wing type Democrats. There’s not really any moderates running in these districts. When you look at New York City again, Madame one, I’ll keep something in mind. It’s like 66% Democrat registration, maybe more. And he barely got. Over 50% of the vote. So it’s not like that was any kind of a landslide. And again, there you had a massive turnout of Muslims. As a matter of fact. But he didn’t get a lot of the Democrat vote in the general election. So it’s going to be very interesting in the in Michigan. But I also think. That he will lose significantly. If the messaging is clear now, he’s going to have the media on his side. He’s going to downplay his extremism. They’re going to play up what they’ll call Islamophobia, which is really nonexistent. It’s not about Islamophobia. It’s about what’s come out of the man’s mouth and the company that he keeps, like Hasan Puka, among others. These are truly vile terrorist supporting individuals. Like piker. About 911. About Hamas. About Mao Tse tung. And on and on and on. I never thought I’d live to see. A candidate nominated by the Democrat Party anywhere. Who pals around with an individual who says America deserved 911. Who says he would take Hamas over the elected governor government of Israel. Who says Mao was the greatest human being to ever live. And yet that’s what we see. I never thought I’d see Democrats. SEN Well, I disagree with this or I disagree with that. But if he’s the nominee, which he is now, we will support him. I will support him, they say, because the Democrats have to win. You know, ladies and gentlemen. That is outrageous. That is utterly unconscionable and immoral. The fact of the matter is. If there were a Klansman running or a neo-Nazi running or somebody who was backed by the Klan or neo-Nazis and didn’t reject them or somebody who embraced them. Powered around with them. You could bet I wouldn’t support them. I don’t care if the Republicans don’t care what they are. The Republican has done a decent job. Of ensuring. That those type of individuals, those types of radicals, racists, bigots, anti-Semites. That those kind of people. Are not supported. They’ve done quite a good job at that. As far as I’m concerned, the Democrat Party even embraced a man, Plattner, who’d been a Nazi, or at least he wore a Nazi tattoo. It seems to me if you’re going to wear a Nazi tattoo, if you’re literally going to have it emblazoned on your chest. And you must support it, because this idea that you don’t know what it is is absurd. It’s ridiculous. You don’t know what it is. Oh, I like that tattoo over there. You know, the one with the swastika on it? I don’t know what that means, you know? I believe there’s a Buddhist history to it, you know, that. That sort of thing. I like that one. And it’s not only a Nazi tattoo, it is a Nazi tattoo. A prison guards in concentration camps. Very special Nazi tattoo. So. We don’t have to believe any of it. Bernie Sanders says he would do it all over again. He would back the guy, do it all over again. He’s accused, I say, accused of rape. A Bernie Sanders. Was this Bernie Sanders? Is it particularly stupid, man? He talks in slogans. He’s accomplished absolutely nothing during all these years in the Senate. He spends an enormous amount of time on the road rallying at rallies and so forth and so on, saying the same thing about billionaires and oligarchs and and capitalism and Medicare for all, and on and on and on and on, all of which, you know, is just so bizarre. Trying to stoke animosity, fearmonger and all the rest of it. And this is the way it plays out. But he is the Democrat nominee now by the skin of his teeth. Don’t get me wrong, L.Z.. In Michigan. And Mike Rogers is no radical. Mike Rogers served in the Army. He was in the FBI. He sat as chairman, I believe, for a period of time in the Intelligence Committee in the House. I’d say he’s he’s solid. He’s solid. He’s a solid Republican for sure. He’s the kind of Republicans that come out of Michigan, quite frankly. And that’s okay with me compared to what he’s up against 100%, which is why I’ve endorsed him enthusiastically. And I think he’d be a very good senator for Michigan, as a matter of fact. A very good senator. But let us not pretend. That aside, is it just another progressive? I heard somebody say he’s a very progressive can, he’s very liberal, he’s not very liberal, he’s not progressive. He’s an Islamist Marxist. That’s what he is. That’s what he is. You don’t pal around with this guy, Puka. And you’re not some kind of a jihadi Islamist and you don’t pal around with with a Bernie Sanders and you’re not a Marxist. But now he’s going to try and tap it down. You know, tequila, as they say, kind of tap it down, lie about who he is in some audiences, not in others. He’s going to tap it down. Now he says, look, I love America. I love democracy. Sure he does. Sure he does. Here’s a funny way of showing it. We’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Welcome back, America. We have an excellent piece by our friend Eli Lake in the Free Press says this on Monday. Abdul al Saeed’s last day of campaigning to be the Democrat nominee for the Michigan State Senate vacated by Gary Peters. One of them stood out. It was a poor party that took place in Detroit where outside chatted amiably with the progressive influencer. He’s really a terror influencer. Hassan PUCA, as other, quote, content creators unquote, took selfies and lounged on floaties alongside Reb Piker for his recent trend of wearing suits. In contrast to the candidates usual tight fitting black T-shirt, Puka expressed wonder at all the social media clips he had seen of, quote, white dude bros that are so stoked to vote for you, unquote. And then the two discuss the media’s full on freakout, quote unquote over puke. Israel campaigning for Al Saeed during the final stretch of his primary battle with Representative Haley Stevens will be interesting to see if he keeps doing that. In the general election was a squeaker. Nonetheless. Alcides Narrow victory is the clearest sign yet that his party’s old establishment is under siege. This populist turn or commie turn began a decade ago when Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, surprised voters in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary and nearly defeated Hillary Clinton, their heavy favorite. And now the sons and daughters of Sanders are picking off incumbents from Denver to Philadelphia. If Sayegh can win the general election in November, he will likely emerge as a kingmaker or maybe even a presidential candidate for 2028. I think that’s a tough road for him to hoe. But time will tell, of course. In the middle of this upheaval is Puka only a few years ago campaigning with someone like him. Even for a progressive Democrat beloved by socialists, would be calamitous in a swing state like Michigan. This is not because Puka supports socialized medicine or is critical of Israel’s war in Gaza, which are mainstream democratic positions these days. Rather, Puka represents a strain of American politics that demonizes the republic. The message has roused voters in deep blue urban districts. But Puka is brand of anti patriotism, as assumed to alienate Normie voters. And actually, it pretty much did in Michigan, quite frankly. One examples In January, Puker posted on acts that Hamas, the authors of the October seven pogrom in Israel, during which at least 43 Americans perished, is a thousand times better than the fascist settler colonial apartheid state, he said. In April, he told Pod Save America that the Republican Party was the biggest terrorist internationally at. A debate at Yale University later that month crowed that the American empire was in the process of dying. In July, he praised the late Chinese tyrant, Mao Tse tung, a man responsible for tens of millions of deaths as one of the great leaders of this world. Earlier this year, Puker traveled to the communist states of Cuba and China and gushed like a tourist visiting the the live for the first time. anti-Americanism has been a mainstay of the elite faculty lounges since the 1970s. And and indeed, those people turned out in in droves in those areas. So recently, though, this kind of radicalism has been largely quarantined to the universities for ambitious Democrats seeking national office. America last politics was electoral kryptonite no longer. Today. It is a feature of the progressive insurgency and is swallowing the Democrat Party during the midterms. And PUK is a big part of it. The 35 year old who got a massive audience of young men as a Twitch streamer, has locked arms with the socialists roiling the Democrats and primaries this year. He was an early supporter of mayor’s on Monday. His campaign in 2025. This year, he campaigned for the three New York candidates endorsed by Mandel, me and the Democratic Socialists of America. On the night of their primary victories in June, Puka Warren. Representative Ritchie Torres, a rare pro-Israel Democrat. I’ll see you in two years, M.F.. I’m coming for you. Puker also attended Madame, his victory party and a celebration for fellow socialist Malaak Heroes who won her primary in Denver. It wasn’t always like this for the Democrats. We call the criticism Barack Millhouse Bonito Obama faced for past friendship when he was running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2000. Against Hillary, that race, he was the insurgent progressive choice while Clinton was the establishment standard bearer. After winning a series of primaries and gaining substantial momentum in early 2008, one of his past associations caught up with him. A march 13 ABC News broke a story saying that the church where Obama and his family had worshipped while living in Chicago was led by Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Now, Wright, like Puker, was part of the anti-American left. And in videos unearthed by ABC, Wright bellowed, The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike law, and then wants us to sing God Bless America. And when he went on. Now, of course, one of the main reasons all this stuff is going on now, that didn’t go on before when? Two reasons, number one. What’s finally come back to bite us is the indoctrination in our colleges and universities and in fact, our high schools. But all throughout the media, especially online now in the last seven, eight years, the anti-Americanism, the socialism, the communism, the Islamism, and it doesn’t really have any counterweight. Certainly not on the Internet and social media, certainly not in our colleges and universities, because they don’t hire professors and they don’t allow academic freedom. And one of the other issues, of course, is immigration, massive immigration from Obama and from, you know, Biden. In the types of people coming into the country. And I don’t mean their race and so forth. I mean, what’s between their ears and what comes out of their mouth? It’s an anti-American ism. It’s a hideous anti-Semitism and anti Christianity and other faiths. And so these things have had an impact. These things have made a change and highly detrimental. And you can see it all throughout Europe. Europe’s a few years ahead of us.

Segment 3
All right. I got to say something. My my engineer on the open mic. We’re live in Nashville, which I’m actually hearing the show extremely loudly, so I can’t hear it fully. So what I’m saying is there is some communication. It’s just not enough for me. Do you understand what I’m saying? Yeah. Okay, here we go. So we have one arm tied behind our back here tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, just the nature of the beast. Okay. There is some audio I want to play for you. Here we go. I’m pulling it up. Here we go. Okay, bear with me. I’m looking for the president’s reaction. What cut would that be? Rich. Can you find that quickly? I’m looking for 27. All right. Here’s the president actually in Las Vegas. Cut 27. Go. And the polls were wrong again last night when they thought it would be a landslide victory for a hater of Jews and a hater of Israel. This guy hates Jews. Somebody said, Oh, that’s a little strong. No, he hates Jews and he hates Israel. Abdul El-Sayed, can you believe this? This could only happen to me, Abdul Aziz said, a lovely gentleman. He’s a man of hate, and now he’s going around saying, No, I love everybody. I love here is love. Everybody Put him in office. You’re going to find out what he loves. He doesn’t love Israel. It doesn’t love Jewish people. He hates them. He hates them with a passion that burns in his heart. And there’s not a freakin thing he can do about it. There’s not a thing he can do about it because he hates him. President. President is absolutely correct. He hates Jews. He hates Israel, but he hates America too. He hates America, too. Now he’s known as a radical. He’s known as an extremist. And he’s going to do everything he can to play it down with a wink and a nod. The media are going to do everything they can to help him, and the Democrat Party is going to circle the wagons around him, too, because all they care about is power. If you read my book on power, you’ve read my book on American Marxism, my last three books, and the Democrat Party hates America. You know, all of this I notice on the Internet, people write about, you know, post liberalism and they’re writing about all these things. And I laugh somewhat because the last many years we’ve been talking about this. We didn’t call post liberalism, of course. And I still don’t like that phrase because it doesn’t tell anybody anything. I also don’t like the phrase the red, green or Green Red Alliance. My friends use it all the time. The problem is most people don’t know what in the world that means, the Reds being the communists, the green being the Islamists. So just call it the Marxist Islamist alliance or the Marxist Islamists or the Marxist Islamists. Fusion. The way you use words and the way you make arguments is very important. It’s very important. That’s what this guy is. Now, to underscore the point about the voting, we’re going to go to text. Mr. Producer, I want to play you this short clip from Harry Enten, the data analyst over at CNN today. Cut 26. Go in your Navy blue. You’ve got Haley Stevens and your Columbia blue. You’ve got Abdul Assad. And what you see here is you see that Haley Stevens did particularly well in this corridor. And what’s in this corridor? Well, there are a lot of working class voters and a lot of African American voters. Abdul Assad did very poorly amongst these groups in the primary. It’s going to be very interesting to see whether or not he can bring them into the tent come the general election, bring those swing voters with them, because where Abdul Assad did. Well, to be honest with you, we’re really just college towns. That’s where he really ran up the score. This is Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor is in this county. And Ann Arbor, of course, is the University of Michigan. We zone out a little bit. Another place he did particularly well was Lansing. Again, we’re talking 20 plus point margins. You can’t just win college towns if you’re in a win in a general election. So he underscores the point we were talking about earlier. Now the great William F Buckley Jr. Used to say I’d I’d rather be ruled something to this effect by the first thousand names in the Boston phonebook. Then by these college professors and elitists. And obviously what he meant by that is I’d rather be ruled. By a random selection of average Americans. With different experiences and backgrounds. Then all these college and even beyond college advanced degree elitists. Because, ladies and gentlemen, they don’t know anything other other than ideology. They don’t have the kind of experience that it takes to build things, to invent things. To create things. Whether it’s making a pizza, which is not so easy when I’m watching these guys making a pencil. Whether you’re an electrician or a plumber or a truck driver, all the rest of it. That’s not what these people are. That’s not what they do. They’re not in construction. They’re not mechanics. They’re not engineers. They’re not physicists. They’re not anything. They’re ideologues. That’s it. That’s it. Very, very interesting. But I think what he says there with Donald Trump says is very important. One of the strengths of many that the president has is his bluntness. Sometimes some of you might cringe and suffer, but right there as an example. Right there as an example, what he said, who this guy is, what he believes. Is very, very important. Very, very important. Abdul Al Saeed was on the morning show show today. And unfortunately, Joe Scarborough has thrown all credibility out the window. He really is. He’s just a. It’s too bad, too, because he had some credibility, but I don’t see it anymore. Let’s check this out. Cut 17. Go. So is your complaint with the state of Israel or is it with Benjamin Netanyahu in the way he has prosecuted this campaign in Gaza? Those things, of course, are inextricable. But I think we’ve seen the worst of what the Israeli government has done. But let’s not forget that we’ve been talking about an illegal apartheid regime for a very, very long time, and that supersedes Netanyahu himself. So I just think we need to treat Israel the way we would treat any other country who behave the way that Israel is behaving. I understand that Netanyahu is a big reason why they’ve gotten so aggressive and frankly, so bloodthirsty under his his is his reign. But I also understand that it’s impossible for us to say that we want a two state solution while we’ve been aiding, arming and abetting the very people who have been trying to foreclose on the possibility of a Palestinian state. And ultimately, in the end, I don’t think any of us pay our taxes so that a foreign government gets a bomb or a tank. We pay our taxes so that our kids get good schools and functional infrastructure to many of our kids. So you can see. He opposes the very existence of Israel because obviously a two state solution will be a final solution for Israel. The enemy there is not interested in a two state solution. They’re interested in a final solution. They have made it abundantly clear, Hamas has made it clear. Abbas has made it clear they don’t even hide it anymore. And all this talk about occupied territory is a lie because the history of the region is not taught in colleges and universities or high school. It’s certainly not discussed in any intelligent way in the media. I’ve talked about it here many, many times. How is it possible that the people that are nearly 4000 years old displace the people from the lands on which they have existed for nearly 4000 years in one form or another, in terms of their numbers and where the birth of Judaism took place? And then secondarily, the birth of Christianity took place. How is it possible that the third faith. The third. Third faith. Which is a mere 1700 years old. Actually, I’m wrong. 1400 years old. Excuse me. 1400 years old. That that that that religion that movement, that force. Is the indigenous force there? I’ve talked to you before and I’ve explained that most of the Middle East. Was first you had the Jewish areas and then you had these Christian areas. Syria was Christian. Egypt was Christian. Lebanon was Christian. Iraq was Christian. Iran was never a Muslim. And it goes on and on and on. How is it possible then? Then the entire Middle East. His Muslim. Except for this tiny little that this spot. Well, take a look at what’s going on in Europe. You know, for 800 years, Spain was Muslim because of the Muslim. Crusade that took place before the Christian Crusade took place in response to the Muslim crusade. Did you know the Muslims conquered Spain? And then in a horrific civil war that took decades, the Christians pushed the Muslims out of out of Spain. Did you know that? So when you look at what’s going on right now in London, in Paris and other capitals all over Europe and what’s going on in our own country, it’s not hard to see what took place in the Middle East, is it? I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
Welcome back, America. How much time do we have? Rich So I know. Okay. Well, I want to do I don’t know if I’m going to have time to do what I want to do, but let’s see if we can get it started. You know, the great senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, he doesn’t get the praise he deserves. He’s a tremendous patriot. He’s very gutsy. And he had a hearing in the Judiciary Committee subcommittee that he chairs. Not a single Democrat showed up and only like a couple of Republicans showed up and it was on the Muslim Brotherhood. Why wouldn’t the Democrats strap on the Muslim Brotherhood? Because they support it, that’s why. Here’s Ted Cruz. Cut one today. Go. You may notice that there are empty chairs on the Democrat side of the dais. The American people should ask themselves, why not a single member of the minority decided that a hearing on terrorism was worth their time? It is an embarrassment and a disservice to the thousands of American victims of the Muslim Brotherhood, including, most recently, the dozens of Americans who died on October 7th at the hand of Gaza’s Muslim Brotherhood branch, Hamas. Got to go. Abdul El-Sayed, the son in law of a leading member of several Brotherhood groups, won Michigan’s Democrat primary for U.S. Senate. Perfect timing for this hearing probably explains why no Democrats are here and not intend to attend because their campaign is now openly embracing terrorist organizations waging war on America. Behind Al Said’s political rise sits a much older and more entrenched institutional network. At the center of this sprawling network is the Council on American-Islamic Relations. CAIR was founded in 1994 by Brotherhood affiliates Omer Ahmed and Nihad Awad. Two of Care’s founders were both captured on FBI wiretaps at the 1993 Philadelphia meeting, where Brotherhood leaders plotted to undermine the Oslo peace process and rally broad support for Hamas in the states. Months later, CAIR emerged as a nonprofit. Many people associated with care have actively aided terrorism and criminal efforts. And let’s stow. Well. I need to inform my producer, Mr. Engineer. Speak down the mic. I think I’m hearing you slightly. I can hear you very lightly, but I can hear you. So we don’t need to use the phone right now. Continue to communicate with me over the mic. How much time do we have? Okay. All right, folks, you get to hear this live in national level. We have a very serious problem, but we are doing our program and we’re going to continue to do the program. Unless I think we can’t. And then we’ll bring one of our friends on. But we’re going to keep at this and. Okay. And I do hear you, Mr. Producer, right now. So that’s. That’s good, but not well. Very, very low. But I don’t need to hear you that loudly, I suppose. Now, if things go well, we have two great guests tonight. Coming up in our two. Again, if things continue this way, we can do it. And that will be Zuhdi Jasser. He’s running for the House in Arizona. Here’s a patriot. He served in the Navy as a commander. He’s a Muslim and he believes in the reform movement within his community. And he has led that movement for years and years under grave threat. And then an hour three of we’re still on the air. We’re going to have our friend Ted Cruz in the in the flesh, as much as you can be in the flesh on radio. I’ll be right back.
