Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello America.  Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. It’s an honor to be here with you, of course. And I appreciate very much. We’re going to get to a number of the things. You know, first, I want to talk about the WNBA, Mr. Producing and Toyota just decided to do that because I was actually going to stay with something else. But I want to add, it’s on my mind. It’s on my mind because it just shows you how ridiculous the left is. And these corporations that MBAs, a corporation and an athletic corporation, in 100 years from now, they’ll be looking back on this, assuming we’re even around. That is it and and the nation about how stupid we are and maybe they’ll write about it in a thousand years if the world still exists where we’re actually debating what a woman is, what a man is. We understand what it means. People transgender. We also understand it’s a very small fraction of a percentage, and it’s really broken down into a number of issues. And that is you’re talking about babies and children who should be left alone because they go through different phases. You have tomboys. You have guys who like to play with dolls and then as they get older. They move into one category or another. But you don’t you don’t make decisions that have an impact on an individual’s life for the rest of their life when they’re eight years old. You don’t do that. And I don’t want to hear about the experts. This is a very. Imprecise so-called science. Psychiatry, psychology. They can be helpful at times, but they’re imprecise. You know, Bill Buckley once said, I’d rather be ruled by the first thousand names. I think it was in the Boston telephone book. Then the professors at Harvard, something to that effect. But you understand what he meant. People have common sense. People have real world experiences. If you spend your whole life in academia or even in the sciences, you don’t. It’s that simple. It’s why these ideologues, these ideologues, many of whom are wealthy, many of whom have really done nothing with their lives except spew their ideology. That’s why they don’t know how to run anything. They don’t have to feed themselves. They don’t have to fix anything. But my point to you is there’s a lot of issues here when it comes to the trans issue. And I don’t even talk about this that much. If you’re an adult and you make that determination. I mean, that’s one thing. But children’s are a whole ‘nother thing. Now, what about the Women’s National Basketball Association? Do they understand what W stands for women? I mean, do we have to keep going through this? We had this. Preposterous issue come up. When Jackson wanted to be a justice, and she said she’ll leave it to the biologists, Really? To leave it to the biologists. She’s married to a man. She must know what a man is and a woman is in terms of genitalia. But it’s political correctness gone amuck. This isn’t a put down a trans people. This isn’t an attack against people. Civil liberties. Women have fought like hell for half a century. They have what we call equality in sports now. What do we mean by equality in sports? We don’t mean that men and women are the same, or all women are the same, for that matter. What we mean. If they have an opportunity, girls have an opportunity. As they get older, women have an opportunity to flourish in athletics, and that’s a good thing. So if you’re going to set up a women’s National Basketball Association. Biological women. Women with vaginas. Well, I guess they could change that, can’t they, Mr. Producer? I’m saying biological women. Originally with Regina’s. That is who qualifies. Now, if people want to have a trans leg or something like that and I don’t say that tongue in cheek, I don’t say that to make a joke. I mean it. That’s fine by me. Or you want to have clubs, you know, basketball club. That’s fine by me. But you shouldn’t be able to destroy an entire. Lig. Lower. Destroy the opportunity that they girls and women have. By claiming that this is a civil rights issue. It’s not a civil rights issue. It’s not a civil rights issue. You got to make a decision. You ready? I’ll make it very easy. You got to make a decision whether a relative handful of individuals can change a leg completely, actually destroy its purpose. Or whether the vast majority. Overwhelming majority of the individuals in that league should be able to compete with each other on a level playing field. It’s that simple. So what do you do with the minority? That would destroy the league, the Women’s National Basketball Association. And notice, the problem only rests. In the girls of the women’s legs. Because you’re talking about biological males. I mean, if you’re talking about. Men’s basketball. Men’s baseball. Men’s football. Very simple. It’s very simple. Because of. A woman’s actual biology. If she transitions to a boy or to a man. Certainly by the time she transitions to a man, she can’t compete with the men. But men who transition, quote unquote, to women. Can only compete with the women. But as we’ve seen in multiple examples in college sports and elsewhere. They can actually hurt the women physically. So that’s not acceptable to me. Girls and women should be able to prosper in the sports they’re in. And if somebody. Is truly a girl or a woman. Then they compete for if they’re a boy or a man, then they can’t. You’re just certain things. That are the way that they are. And changing them doesn’t make it better. That’s not necessarily progress or civil liberties. So what? The two former pro basketball athletes are doing. I think is not only brilliant. It’s necessary. Now the WNBA hierarchy is trying to figure out what to do. Why? Because they’ve backed themselves into a corner through their. Through their phony righteousness. Phony civil rights. Absolute idiocy. Absolute idiocy because they know that allowing in men, men, biological men into their. Into their league will destroy their league. Will destroy their league. Now what do we do? That’s one issue in the WNBA. The other is. When this basketball player, Cunningham, I can’t remember her first name. Do you know off the top of your head, Rana? Sophie. Sophie Cunningham. Beautiful young lady. Who’s a superb basketball player. And she’s white. And she gets the hell beaten out of her in virtually every game. Her teeth knocked out the other night. A straight arm that could have really hurt her. Her coaches allowed so many idiot. Who first wears the t shirt. About transgenderism. This is her coach. Take counter her player. Then she’s asked about this injury, or I should say this physical attack. For which the other player was thrown out. And she comes to the defense of the other player and the other players black. She goes immediately on social media and accuses Sophie Cunningham. Or I should say that people who are outraged by this as being racist. Let me tell you some about the WNBA. It’s racist. All right. We have two great white basketball players on the same team on that Indiana team. I think it’s called the Fever, whatever. I don’t really follow women’s basketball. Oh, I’m sorry. Did I offend somebody? I barely follow men’s basketball. I’m sitting around waiting for football, to be perfectly honest with you. That’s why I am round. I like football. You too. Anyway. Racist. Caitlin. Clark’s been clobbered. And she brought a lot of audience to that league. And you know, it’s funny, money is green, white or black. It doesn’t matter. Money is green. It’s a business. To business. They all want more money, don’t they? All the athletes want more money, don’t they? Well, then treat it like a business. But I find. A level of racism in the WNBA. And I’m just being blunt. I’m not one of these knee jerk racist here. Racist. They’re racists everywhere. Against these two white players. And I don’t watch it closely enough to know if it’s others as well. But it bothers me. That not enough people are speaking out about it. You don’t see it in men’s basketball. You don’t see this kind of thing in men’s basketball. Which is obviously overwhelmingly black. Look, if they’re the best athletes, I don’t care what color you are. I don’t care about any of that stuff. People want to see the very best. That’s what you want to see. The best of the best. That’s what I want to see. Same with football, whether it’s UFC, whatever it is, soccer. I don’t watch a lot of soccer, but a lot of people do. I want to see the best. Under those uniforms. I want to see the Americans. When I root for Americans, red blooded American, I don’t care what color I will from my home team where I grew up. I care what color that I want the best players possible. If they’re all black, they’re all black. That’s fine by me. If they’re two thirds black, that’s fine by me. If they want their black, fine by me, I don’t really care. You know who my favorite basketball player was growing up? I’ll get my age. Wilt Chamberlain. I loved Wilt Chamberlain. Love them. My favorite boxer of all time, Muhammad Ali. That’s right. Muhammad Ali. My favorite music. Motown. Motown. Detroit. My favorite music. It’s the way it goes. It’s the way it is. What I’m trying to say here is this. What you see in the WNBA, you do not see in the men’s NBA. You do not see all this racial stuff going on. So I’m less inclined to ever watch the WNBA than I am even the NBA. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
By the way, I want to thank John Sander online. What a nice guy. I don’t know him. You obviously served in the military. He is. Just a brilliant guy who relentlessly defends me. I only get a few people who do that. Because I can’t watch everything that goes on online, as you may guess. He’s a great guy. And there are several others as well who I will mention as time goes on. I post on there frequently, but I’m not spending a lot of time paying attention. It’s really what the comments are. Because that’s a real cesspool here. Look at that, Mr. Peterson. Oh. Oh, yeah. You. All right now. What are we going to do? We have these. It’s very interesting. I say things here and then I read them online and other people say, as I said. Oh, really? Now, how many times have I mentioned to you folks right here on radio? Millions of. We have to stop calling these people socialists. Stop calling them socialists. They are Marxists and they are Islamists. You can call them jihadis if you prefer, but stop just referring to them as socialists. The phrase I use and we’ve made relatively popular is Marxists, Islamists, Marxists, Islamists. And some online people are saying, finally, like I said, it just cracked me up. Oh, yeah, yeah. The word Marxist. I think I wrote a book called American Marxism that sold 1.3 million copies. And even my friends who interviewed me, they wouldn’t say the word Marxist or communist, if you prefer. I said, Stop calling them socialists and progressives use the word Marxist or communist, if you rather. That’s what they are. So Marks says her communist and Islamist or jihadist either way. But stop saying socialist or progressives or leftists or radical unless it’s in the context of using the other words. In order to confront the enemy, you must properly identify the enemy. So those online guy, like I said.

Segment 3
There are many others Online insurrection. Barbie. She’s a fighter. James Lindsay, I apologize. I misspelled his name the other day. He’s terrific. Terrific. And there will be others, I promise you that I will mention. Because I think there needs to be some increasing overlap between the millions in my radio audience and millions the over 5 million followers I have on X. President Trump. I’m looking at number one, Mr. Producer. President Trump talking about these Democratic socialists. Now, just because they call themselves that or they you know, the others were progressive. It’s like the Palestinians are Palestinians. No, You are what You are not what you say you are. Cut one, go. Well, the one thing is we have jihadists being elected all over the place. We have this whether it’s communism, jihadism. It’s about a friend of mine called up. He said, you know, really, you should use the word jihadist, because that’s what’s happening. And I’m not sure that anybody if you take a look at what happens in other countries, I think that’s not going to be necessarily the way we want to live. But when you look at the radicalism and the craziness of the candidates and the stupidity of what they’re suggesting, let’s get rid of the Supreme Court. Let’s get rid of the presidency, let’s get rid of the Senate. I want to get here. Sometimes I’d like to get rid of the Senate, too, but I don’t think and I wouldn’t do it. But, you know, they want to get rid of the Senate. They want to get rid of ideally the House, but they’re thinking about maybe keeping the house, you know, isn’t that nice? These are people that have been not successful. They’re people that have been, in many cases, news. They come from other failed countries and they come here and they tell us how to run our country. They come from places like I won’t mention because I don’t want to get myself into controversy. But they come from countries that are not great. They come from, let’s say, as an example, Somalia. They come in and then they tell us how to how our constitution, how our Declaration of Independence, how it works. It doesn’t work that way. And they’re not smart. They have no aptitude, They have nothing going. And they’re telling us how to run our country. And I just don’t think it’s going to happen. I think that they start off now. I may be wrong. You know, they start off with a big disadvantage. People don’t want to have radical lunatics involved in running our country. And that’s why we have we have people that are saying things that are so clear now. They’re denying it when they say, well, I’ve changed my mind. They want to defund our police. They want to terminate our military. No military. We don’t want any military in our country. We don’t want our police to be paid anymore. They want our police down to like almost nothing. Can you think of another president who would speak like that? I cannot. Right, Exactly. I could not be prouder of our president. Really? I can’t think of another president who would have both the guts and the common sense to call out the communist and. The jihadists. I’ve been waiting for this moment. But he does more than that, doesn’t he? He tells you they come from these hellholes. He tells you that How dare they come into our country and tell us what the Declaration means and the Constitution means. Sounds familiar. It should. I couldn’t be prouder of him. And laying into them, hammering them. There was. Absolutely. Fantastic. In fact, Mr. Producer, I liked it so much. I want to hear it again. I’m not kidding. Let’s let’s. Let’s play this again. This is the president in the Oval Office this afternoon. Go. Well, the one thing is we have jihadis being elected all over the place. We have this whether it’s communism, jihadism. It’s about a friend of mine called up. He said, you know, really, you should use the word jihadist, because that’s what’s happening. And I’m not sure that anybody if you take a look at what happens in other countries, I think that’s not going to be necessarily the way we want to live. But when you look at the radicalism and the craziness of the candidates and the stupidity of what they’re suggesting, let’s get rid of the Supreme Court. Let’s get rid of the presidency, let’s get rid of the Senate. I want to get you know, sometimes I’d like to get rid of the Senate, too, but I don’t say it and I wouldn’t do it. But, you know, they want to get rid of the Senate. They want to get rid of ideally the House, but they’re thinking about maybe keeping the house, you know, isn’t that nice? These are people that have been not successful. They’re people that have been, in many cases, failures. They come from other failed countries and they come here and they tell us how to run our country. They come from places like I won’t mention because I don’t want to get myself into controversy. But they come from countries that are not great. They come from, let’s say, as an example, Somalia. They come in and then they tell us how to our constitution, how our Declaration of Independence, how it works. It doesn’t work that way. And they’re not smart. They have no aptitude, they have nothing going. And they’re telling us how to run our country. And I just don’t think it’s going to happen. I think that they start off now. I may be wrong. You know, they start off with a big disadvantage. People don’t want to have radical lunatics involved in running our country. And that’s what we have. We have people that are saying things that are so great. Now they’re denying it when they say, well, I’ve changed my mind. They want to defund our police. They want to terminate our military. No military. We don’t want any military in our country. We don’t want our police to be paid anymore. They want our police down to like almost nothing. Hmm. Really beautiful. Really. So accurate. And I don’t know of another president who would speak this way. I really don’t now. Let’s see here we have AOC. AOC, first of all, she’s frozen her eggs. Did you read that? Mr.. It is here. She put out a video. Can I say something to you folks? Seriously? If a woman is going to freeze her eggs, does she have to announce it? Does she have to? Discuss it in detail on a video. I mean, I find this. So crazy. I find it all so crazy, to be perfectly honest with you. Some things you keep private. Do what you want. But do you have to announce that she’s 36 or 37 so she wants to have. A baby are babies later in life. Later in life. Okay. Why is that any of my business? You know, sometimes I don’t want to know. Sometimes I just don’t give a damn. I just don’t. Anyway, here she is. One about Francesca. Hung. Now, Francesca Hung. Is the Democrat who’s going to run for governor of. Wisconsin. Wisconsin is not a dark blue state. It really is a marginal state. It can go red, it can go purple, and it does both. This woman’s a nut. She’s a radical, but she sounds like she’s like a third grader. And I’m convinced acting and Bernie the red star on a Sanders do not think she can win. And so they haven’t endorsed her. You know, a very busy day. So there’s only so many candidates we can endorse. That’s B.S.. They’re not endorsing her because they don’t think she’ll win. And they want to they want to demonstrate how powerful they are, you know, by keeping their losses to a minimum. Let’s So let’s go to Cut six, Mr. Producer. Go. I think that a lot of these races. Even right now, they’ll have a tendency to be nationalized. But these races ultimately are local and all politics are local. My understanding is that wait a minute, we haven’t heard that before. Our politics are local while. It seems to me there was a speaker of the House from Boston who once said that big fat guy with white hair, you remember him, Mr. Producer? Go ahead is that Francesca Hong has made clear her present stances to her. She’s moved away from war, right? She’s moved away from it. And I have a local city councilman that hate him. And I tweeted that. I tweeted that. About Thanksgiving. While you know, I’ve changed my mind as they dig up dirt on this woman. Because she’s a real head case. Now, these aren’t really, really old tweets. I mean, she was on with her buddy, Hassan Puka, and he did his test. You hate America, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She has 100%. With that sound. Puka. Now it’s Wow, you know. That was then and this is now. No, no. That was then and then is now. Go ahead. Saying woke one was crazy. It was crazy. Okay, That’s that. And I think that what’s important is that we have to assess what was it? I mean, do they go too far with some of those positions? I mean, you you briefly supported the idea of defunding the police. Well, you know, I think I think that during this time and during especially during COVID, there was a huge opening of the Overton Window. We were shut down. There was some of the highest unemployment rates that we have seen because of those shutdowns. And I think that the doors were really open in trying to entertain any and every policy that was going to get us to a better place at that time. You know, she’s a concoction to she beat this Irish guy who’ve been in Congress 20 years, was part of leadership under Pelosi. He wasn’t paying attention. It was a low turnout primary in New York City, one of those one of the boroughs, and she beat him. And then the press got all excited promoting her. You know. Basically put her on their shoulders and marched around celebrating here. Look at this. She’s 29, 30 years old. They used to call her Sandy. She grew up in Westchester. But no, no, not Sandy. AOC Cortez from the Bronx. Yeah, well, she grew up in Westchester. Her name was Sandy. Hey, lady misogynist. Yes. Anyway, there we are going on and on because. What about L.Z. outside? What about him? Cat five. Go. What does Abdel say El-Sayed victory in Michigan say about the future of the Democratic Party? I think that we are in a time of renewal, renewal, renewal, throwbacks, Islamist throwbacks, communist throwbacks. But it’s a renewal. It’s a renewal. It’s a purging. It’s a purification. After the old and with the new. But it’s not new. No, no, you don’t understand. Go ahead. And it’s tremendously exciting. When I saw the big the way they treat women. Oh, my God. Now, AOC as she cover her hair. No. Does she cover her face? No. Does she cover her shoulders? No. She goes on a video. She lifts up the bottom of her shirt. She shows your head tummy excuse me, cholera. And she goes on about. I’m freezing my eggs. Excuse me. Excuse me. I’m freezing my Yanks. I want to put off childbirth til later. I’m freezing my ex. It’s a time of renewal where we embrace. The seventh century barbarians and primitive and their treatment of women. Oh, yes. And Marxism. They killed 100 million people that right now enslaved people wherever it thrived, like communist China. It’s a time of renewal. We’re renewing here. Since Sandy from West Chester. A timer. We know we got new energy. Oh, it’s just unbelievable here. Crackpot. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
This DSA, Marxist communists, jihadis, Islamists just don’t call them socialists. Please just don’t call them progressives and liberals, please. They think that the House of Representatives should choose the president. They think the Senate should just go away. Poof. Unlimited immigration. No borders. Oh, that won’t hurt our enemies. Or salivating, aren’t they? Oh, yes, that’ll be fantastic. Medicare for All now. You know, what’s interesting is last weekend, first of all, I start my things on radio. I went in to you the cost of doing this and Medicare last week and on Fox, I did it. Now everybody’s talking about the cost. Trillions. And not only that, all of you have contributed to Medicare. Poof. Your money doesn’t matter either, because now everybody’s on Medicare, including people having paid a plug, nickel and illegal aliens. So the system will collapse. You’ll have long lines and more people will die. It’s that simple. Much more when we return. I’ll be right back.
