		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">On Friday&#8217;s Mark Levin Show, there are seven Democratic Jewish Senators, including Chuck Schumer and John Ossoff who embrace Jew hatred and antisemitism, putting party and political interests ahead of what is moral and right. It&#8217;s simple: Jew haters are America haters. In the face of the grave threat to Jews both here and around the world, these Jewish Senators side with Islamists and Marxists like Abdul El-Sayed and Hasan Piker. The difference between Democrats and Republicans is the Democrats embrace antisemitism while the GOP rejects it. Most Republicans have disavowed the Woke Reich antisemites like Tucker Carlson. These Senate Jews think they can make common cause with Islamists? They are disgusting. Later, President Trump’s decision to remove outlets such as Politico, CNN, and MSNBC from the White House is criticized as authoritarian, but historical context, as documented in &#8220;Unfreedom of the Press&#8217;,  is important when making such judgments. FDR, who is admired by much of the modern media, the Democratic Party, and historians, was actually the most authoritarian president in American history. FDR is praised despite this because of his socialist views. Comparisons with past presidents are necessary when evaluating Trump’s actions.</span></p>

<p><strong>Segment 1<br />
</strong>Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. Yom Kippur is just a few days away. I know my my calendar is the highest of the holy holidays in Judaism, where Jews repent. In a tone. It&#8217;s a very, very important holiday. So now&#8217;s the time to say what&#8217;s on my mind. But the Jewish members of Congress. Particularly in the Senate. Seven of them, including Chuck Schumer. Who endorsed and or even campaigning for El-Sayed. You&#8217;re a disgrace. It discovered the Jew hatred and the spreading Canterbury anti-Semitism in your party and in our country. You put your party and your own political interests ahead of what is moral and right. You&#8217;re absolutely shameful. And to me, you&#8217;re disgusting. You know, ladies and gentlemen, you know, in this audience. I took on Tucker Carlson. 18 months, 20 months ago, when nobody would. All the self-proclaimed Jewish leaders patting themselves on the back, patting themselves on the head. Claiming to stand up. Against anti-Semitism. None of them. Publicly or openly. Supported me. Some of them sent me texts and emails. Some of them called me and routed me on. And I said, Well, where are you? Where are you? Now, of course, we&#8217;ve reached a good point. Where nobody fears the man anymore. I told my wife at the time. I said, Julie, I&#8217;m going to have to I&#8217;m going to have to go in the sewer for a while. And deal with this. Disgusting. Jew hating lowlife. And his cabal. And the rest of them. Somebody has to do it because nobody is. There may have been a column here or there or a common here or there, but there was no money, a prominence who would do it. So when I watch these Democratic senators. Whether it&#8217;s Schumer, the senator from Georgia, the senator from Michigan. And the list goes on. And I watched them endorse a man. He was a Jew hater. And the Jew haters are America haters. That&#8217;s what they are. Makes me sick to my stomach. That these people were raised to know better. And in the face of this grave threat. The Jews in this country and around the world. They side. With the Islamists. The Marxists terrorist supporters. You want to know what it was like in the 1930s? While you&#8217;re experiencing it. You&#8217;re experiencing it. The mayor of New York, the mayor of Dearborn. The mayor of Paterson, New Jersey. But there are obvious. These are obvious Jew haters. The pikers. The they all said obvious Jew haters. And yet the Democrats welcome them. They welcome them. There are some Republicans or former Republicans who embrace Tucker Carlson and his ilk. I&#8217;ve called them out. I call them the Woke Reich. I have done battle with many of them as well. But the difference is. The Republican Party does not embrace them. We have people, Jews and non-Jews, who advise the vice president over and over and over again, or they ask him to denounce Carlson. But he won&#8217;t. President Trump has repeatedly. JD won&#8217;t. That&#8217;s the way it is. And if that&#8217;s a litmus test for you come 2020. It&#8217;s understandable. And I wish he would, but he won&#8217;t. That&#8217;s the truth. No, I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s an anti-Semite. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a Jew hater. But I do think his position on Israel. And the Israeli government is very troubling to me. But I will say this. The Democrat Party&#8217;s position. Is it more than very troubling to me? It&#8217;s intolerable. Absolutely intolerable. They wish to cut Israel off at the knees. Not even sell them military equipment. When we saw military equipment in Saudi Arabia, they say nothing. We saw military equipment that Qatar, they say nothing. When we sell military equipment to Turkey, they say nothing. We sell military equipment to Pakistan. They say nothing. In Israel. They seek to stop Israel and obstruct Israel. Even when it comes to the Iron Dome, so they can protect themselves. These are Democrats. Democrats. There&#8217;s a few Republicans who feel that way and act that way, but the vast majority do not. And that&#8217;s the truth. That&#8217;s the truth. You know. During the 1920s, late 1920s and early 1930s. There were Jews in Germany. Who are nationalists. Nationalists. Some of them had fought in World War One, of course. One in particular was a lawyer. And they would condemn. The Jews in Germany. Who were warning. But the Nazi Party. Should it get stronger? Should it take over? It would be a dire threat to the Jewish population there. They were denounced. By the Nationalist Jews. Most of whom eventually were sent off to. Concentration camps where they were killed. These seven Democrat Jewish senators. They think they can make common cause. With Islamists they think they can make common cause. Well, people who tell us exactly what they think and exactly who they are and what they are. They trash our country. These Islamists, these sides and the pikers and the rest. And they trash it. First and foremost, because of its founding, the Judeo-Christian values and belief system. President Trump understands this. He sees it. He even watches what&#8217;s going on. It&#8217;s social media. He&#8217;s told me he does. The people bring it to him. Last time I spoke to him. I can tell you this because it&#8217;s not a state secret. He said, You know what, Mark? You are hated on social media more than I am. He said, You&#8217;re number one and I&#8217;m number two. I don&#8217;t really care. See you in this audience who&#8217;ve been me with me for decades. I haven&#8217;t changed a thing. We have these newbies out there saying they&#8217;re America first. Now you and I are the America first. You and I. Are the Tea Party? You and I are the constitutional conservatives. All these other people are wannabes. And they&#8217;re deceivers. And many of them are reprobates and malcontents. Who seek to destroy the constitutional conservative movement and all the success of the Reagan years and in the Milton Friedman years, the Bill Buckley years. It&#8217;s not going to happen over my dead body. These are nobodies have accomplished nothing. Maybe they have a website. Wow. Maybe they appear on TV from time to time. Wow. Maybe they run a magazine that nobody&#8217;s ever heard of and nobody reads. Oh, my goodness. What have they achieved? Nothing. Nothing. But you and I, we&#8217;re wide eyed to this. We see it. Talk about it. We speak out against it. We&#8217;ll never throw in with it. But these seven Democrat Jewish senators. I. Disgusting. They are truly disgusting. Power at all costs. And to what end? Bigger government. Destroy the Constitution. Open borders. Usurp citizenship is at the end. I think it is. I&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 2<br />
</strong>You see, folks. We have a special relationship, you and me. We&#8217;ve been around a while and. We speak the truth and we speak our heart. Don&#8217;t seem to position myself, don&#8217;t seek to do any of those things. Position myself for what? And I&#8217;ll look to have my name and my face in any newspaper because I don&#8217;t care. Got a TV show and a radio show and. I had them for a reason. It&#8217;s not charity. It&#8217;s because I do what I do. And we have. We created a lot of trails in the free speech business. And what I just said to you at the opening of this program, nobody has said others will now say it, but nobody has said. But it needs to be said. And we shall see. We&#8217;re all this leads because we&#8217;re in this together. You and me, Mr. and Mrs. America. We&#8217;re in this together. We&#8217;ve a Democrat party that hates the country. As I wrote a book about love, a media that hate the country is I wrote another book about and freedom of the press. The very evil forces in this country right now. They&#8217;re not new. But there they&#8217;re planning their flags. And do we have the the moral fortitude to call it out? If we don&#8217;t, then we don&#8217;t have the moral fortitude or the will or the will. To stop it. To stop. This isn&#8217;t a game with me. This isn&#8217;t a press event. This isn&#8217;t about me at all. About the future of this country. What kind of country we want. We&#8217;ve had people fought who fought and died for this country. We&#8217;ve had people who fought and were horribly maimed for this country. Seems to me, at a minimum, we can speak out against what&#8217;s taking place in this country, the attacks on our history, the attacks on our declaration, the attacks on our Constitution, the attacks on our fellow citizens. I&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 3<br />
</strong>The president is being brutalized pretty much over his decision to ban. I forget the outlets was a politico, I think Mr. Producer and two of CNN. And more now from the White House. So that&#8217;s it. We don&#8217;t have a fair press. We don&#8217;t have objective press. You&#8217;re out. And I got to thinking, whatever you think about that. I got to thinking about it. It&#8217;s amazing to hear the media respond to this. When the media loved Franklin Roosevelt. Love them. In LBJ and FDR and Obama and Biden. So I thought I&#8217;d spend a little bit of time on this with you, if I may. Oh, I&#8217;ve got all kinds of news articles and clips and so forth and so on. But sometimes we just don&#8217;t do that. And freedom of the press. My wife came up with the title was brilliant. Not long after the nation&#8217;s founding president, Adams, and his Federalist Party institution, the Sedition Act of 1798. The Richard Buell Junior of Wesleyan University, explained, Men in the thick of a revolution may well be forgiven if they sacrifice principles to the needs of a desperate moment. But the events of the late 1790s cannot be so explained. Less than ten years after framing the First Amendment. Congress passed and President Adams signed the sedition law. So what does that law do? Folks have made a legal the following ready to write a print order or publish it cause it to be done or assist in it any false, scandalous and malicious writing against the government of the United States or either House of Congress or the President with intent to defame or bring either end to contempt or disrepute, or to excite against either the hatred of the people of the United States or to stir up sedition or to excite unlawful combinations against the government, to resist it, or to aid or encourage hostile designs of foreign nations. How do you like that? Adams and his party controlled, obviously, the presidency, the House and the Senate. Armed with this statute, Bill of Rights, the Secretary of State, Timothy Pickering, proceeded to launch a systematic attack on the major opposition presses. Clearly, with the design of silencing them during the election of 1800. In addition, several Republican printers in the states with federalist controlled judicial systems were prosecuted under the common law. No one could seriously have doubted that these prosecutions represented a deliberate attempt to muzzle the Republican presses. Jefferson was a Republican. Nevertheless, Federalists maintained that nothing either in the sedition law or its administration was inconsistent with the First Amendment to choose me, and that the law actually expanded freedom of publishers by liberalizing the common law of libels. The revolutionaries had an explanation for the apparent conflict between their words and their deeds. None had ever denied that the press could abuse its privileges and that such abuse should be restrained. Now, the Adams administration actually prosecuted more than two dozen individuals, including journalists Thomas Cooper, editor of the North Cumberland Gazette in Pennsylvania. James Callender, a writer with the Richmond Examiner in Virginia. And Charles Holt, editor of the New London Be in Connecticut, all of whom were fined and serve prison sentences and all of whom were more sympathetic to the Jeffersonian Republican cause. Among other things, Adams and his party witnesses to the bloody French Revolution and the ensuing decade long upheaval of that society claimed the sedition law would not prevent legitimate criticism of the government and the exercise of press freedom, but would restrain lies from various factions and groups aimed at delegitimizing democratic rule. So the Jeffersonian Republicans countered that political Christian criticism necessarily contained opinion as well as fact, and that no jury could determine the truth or falsehood of an opinion. Moreover, various state laws provided recourse for seditious libel. With Thomas Jefferson&#8217;s victory in 1800 and his more libertarian beliefs, as well as the Republican takeover of Congress, the Sedition Act would die and freedom of the press. Would be honored again. Despite extraordinary provocations, the Republicans never responded, as the Federalists had in the analogous circumstances of the late 1790s. Decades later, during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans were dealing with the gravest threat to the Republic since its founding. A war over secession and slavery then engulfed the country&#8217;s the country, eventually resulting in more than 700,000 casualties. Historian Harold Holzer noted that. Following the first bull run disaster, the administration turned its attention not only to fighting weaponry and raising more troops, but also to quelling Homefront newspaper criticism that the president, his cabinet advisers, a more surprisingly, many Northern newspaper editions and editors believe was morphing from tolerable dissent in a nation threatening treason, quote unquote. The Lincoln administration believed that in the case of an unprecedented rebellion and under the powers the president had claimed in order to crush it, military necessity superseded constitutional protection. And based on this argument, the administration began conducting, or when it occurred, spontaneously tolerating repressive actions against opposition newspapers. As time went on, the military and the government began punishing editorial opposition to the war itself. Authorities banned pro-peace newspapers from the U.S. mails, shut down newspaper offices and confiscated printing materials. They intimidated and sometimes imprisoned reporters, editors and publishers who sympathized with the South or objected to armed struggle to restore the union. And for the first year of the war, Lincoln left no trail of documents attesting to any personal conviction that dissenting newspapers ought to be muzzled. But neither did he say anything. They control or contradict such efforts when they were undertaken by his cabinet officers or military commanders. Lincoln did not initiate press suppression and remained ambivalent about its execution, but seldom intervened to prevent it. St Michael&#8217;s College professor David Tse Middleditch adds that in 1862, after Lincoln appointed him Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton penned a letter to the president requesting sweeping powers, which would include total control of the telegraph lines by rerouting those lines through his office. Secretary of War Stanton would keep tabs on various amounts of communication, journalistic, governmental and personal. And on the back of Stanton&#8217;s letter, Lincoln scribbled his approval. Quote, The Secretary of War has my authority to exercise its discretion in the matter within mentioned, unquote. Having the telegraph lines running through Stanton&#8217;s office made his department the nexus of war information. Lincoln visited regularly to get the latest on the war. Stanton collected news from generals, telegraph operators and reporters. It had journalists, a journalist&#8217;s love of breaking the story, and an autocrats obsession with information control. And he used his power over the telegraphs to influence what journalists did or didn&#8217;t publish. In 1862, the House Judiciary Committee took up the question of telegraph censorship and called for restraint on the part of the administration censors. On May 18, 1864. The AP distributed what turned out to be a forged copy of a presidential proclamation. The inauthentic, the inauthenticity was unknown to the publishers and editors of the pro-Democrat, anti-war New York World and New York Journal of Commerce. Newspapers who fell for the ruse and printed it. The document urged a national day of fasting, humiliation and prayers handed darkly about the general state of the country and called for a breathtaking 400,000 new volunteers with Ulysses S Grant enduring a bloodbath of casualties in a struggle to subdue Robert. Subdue Robert E Lee. The proclamation seemed a cry of desperation, an admission that to prevail, the union required both divine intervention and a huge infusion of fresh troops. It was major news and it was a lie. An outraged Lincoln took the. Action. Believing these papers were damaging, the union effort initiated executive order. And I lay it out. You can read it later. Major General John Adams. Dix was ordered to execute the Presidential directive, which he did reluctantly. The two papers were shut down and the two eds detained at Army headquarters. Dick soon uncovered the perpetrator of the hoax, a one time New York Times correspondent. Times has always sucked, hasn&#8217;t it? Joseph Howard Jr. A may 21, 1864. Both editors were permitted to reopen their papers. However, Lincoln&#8217;s angry reaction to the two papers apparently was less about a hoax and more about the fact that the night before the publication of the forged Presidential proclamation, the president had been working on an authentic proclamation that indeed did call for more troops, 300,000 more by either enlistment or conscription. The published forgery unleashed panic within the White House and the Cabinet that summer may have leaked a genuine proclamation of potentially harm the war effort. During the course of another war. Let me see. Let me take a break now and I will continue this because we&#8217;re going to move into World War One. And Woodrow Wilson, I want you to know these facts. You&#8217;re not going to get him anywhere else. We&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 4<br />
</strong>Let&#8217;s continue. We may have to do a little bit of this into the second hour, and that&#8217;s fine by me. I want you to know your history, the history, the country. During the course of another war, this time, World War One. President Woodrow Wilson, who had been a leading progressive intellectual for decades. And, by the way, the worst racist ever serve in public office at that level, supported a series of congressional amendments that Congress added to the Espionage Act, which collectively became known as the Sedition Act of May 16, 1918. Now that act stated in part, However, when the United States is at war, shall willfully utter print, write or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous or abusive language about the form of government of the United States or the Constitution of the United States, or the military or naval forces, the United States or the flag of the United States, excuse me, or the uniform of the Army or Navy or the United States in the contempt scorn. Or disrespect disrepute shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than 20 years or both. Provided that any employee or official of the United States government commits any disloyal act or has any usurped usurpation or unpatriotic or disloyal language, or who in an abusive or violent manner criticizes the Army or Navy, the flag of the United States shall be at once dismissed from the service. Numerous opponents of Wilson&#8217;s War policies were charged and imprisoned. In fact, Wilson had already instituted extensive measures to curtail press freedom. Christopher Daly, professor at Boston University, has written that during the lead up to America&#8217;s interest in World War One, the Wilson administration took immediate steps at home to curtail one of the pillars of democracy press freedom by implementing a plan to control, manipulate and censure all news coverage on a scale never seen in the United States history. Following the lead of the Germans and British, Wilson elevated propaganda and censorship. The strategic elements of all out war. And even before the U.S. entered the war, Wilson had expressed the expectation that his fellow Americans would show what he considered loyalty. Wilson started one of the earliest uses of government propaganda. He waged a campaign of intimidation and outright suppression against those ethnic and socialist papers that continued to oppose the war. And taken together, these wartime measures added up to an unprecedented assault on press freedom. Wilson also created an elaborate domestic spy network to watch German immigrants and American radicals. Federal agents arrested hundreds for making antiwar speeches and sometimes for informal and private remarks. Eugene Debs, four time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party, was arrested in June 1918 for suggesting during a speech that young American men were fit for something better than slavery and cannon fodder sentenced to ten years in prison. He defiantly ran for president in 1920 from his jail cell in Atlanta and received almost a million votes. And during the war, more than 2000 men and women were arrested for a disloyal speech, and over 1200 of them went to prison. Furthermore, Wilson issued an executive order on April 13, 1917, establishing the Committee on Public Information CPI, a massive propaganda machine that will put the government in the business of actively shaping press coverage about the war. Wilson appointed a former journalist and loyal political supporter, George Creel, to lead the operation. The CPI was a veritable magnet for political progressives of all stripes, intellectual muckrakers, even some socialists, all sharing a sense of the threat to democracy posed by German militarism. While the Wilson administration planted official news stories within media outlets published in an official government newspaper that was widely distributed and secured free advertising and press publications, the CPI had a film division, the government foreign language, newspaper division, advertising division, and speakers division. In the same time, the government severely limited press access to people in operations related to the war effort. The CPI was pervasive. It mobilized 150,000 American word maestros to pitch America&#8217;s involvement in the war as necessary. NOBLE And it goes on. And then I want to move to FDR and in the next hour when we come back, because this this is the great Demi god of the Democrats. FDR, who got away with more civil liberties violations. More corruption, more abuse of the media, abuse of power, really, than any president we&#8217;ve ever had. And yet the Democrats keep pointing to him as one of the greats. I&#8217;ll be right back.</p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">On Thursday&#8217;s Mark Levin Show, are you getting sick and tired of ingrates who have no connection to this country? Take Hasan Piker: born here, raised in Turkey where he was radicalized, and thanks to the Supreme Court, returned here as a citizen. Democrats might be keeping Piker at arm&#8217;s length, but he is the face of the party. Democrats have embraced radical Islamism and Marxism just like they embraced slavery and segregation in the past. Islamism and Marxism are incompatible with the Judeo-Christian values of America and the Constitution. Most outrageously, Piker says, pound-for-pound, America causes more terrorism than Al-Qaeda. America is turning into Europe, which is dead and doesn&#8217;t have the will to survive. Later, Bruce Blakeman calls in with an update on the NY Gubernatorial race. Blakeman says that his campaign is in a statistical dead heat, with polling showing him only 3.9% behind in a blue state. New York is facing economic decline, with population, business, and job losses, and warns that continued leadership by Kathy Hochul and Zohran Mamdani would further harm the state. Voters are increasingly recognizing the need for change and policies focused on job creation, economic growth, tax and regulation cuts, lower utility costs, and restoring law and order. Also, many members of Congress lack expertise in AI and data centers yet seek to regulate them. AI development is a competitive race that the United States must win. Any regulation would hinder innovation while allowing other countries to advance. If these doomer-Luddite politicians have their way, the new medicines and technologies resulting from AI data centers that are going to save lives, improve the quality of life, and increase the standard of living for untold numbers of people, would not happen.  They are literally trying to cripple these industries and these businesses, and they are also actively helping the Communist Chinese leapfrog our companies and our country.  Afterward, if the Democrats had their way, they would remove President Trump, Secretary of War Hegseth and Secretary of Education McMahon via impeachment. In other words, they would undertake a coup since impeachment is not intended for the purposes they intend to use it.</span></p>

<p><strong>Segment 1<br />
</strong>Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. Look, I really am getting sick and tired of these individuals in our country who have no connection to it, who feel no connection to it. These are ingrates and worse. I&#8217;m sick and tired of it. We are Islamists. Nothing zero. We owe Marxists nothing. Zero. The Democrat Party has always been a party of bigotry and racism and anti-Semitism and hatred. That doesn&#8217;t mean every Democrat believes in that. But the party fundamentally embraces it. Now. It was a really neat trick in the sixties and seventies and eighties and nineties and now. Where they use the economy, as I explained in American Marxism. As a way as a way to buy votes. As a way to create constituencies. I know that quite well. And so do you. But the fact of the matter is, when the rubber hits the road, the Democrat Party was for slavery and segregation. The Democrat Party was for eugenics against blacks. Their hero, Woodrow Wilson. What&#8217;s an advocate for this? The Democrat Party. Excuse me again. Sorry, I&#8217;m all choked up. The Democrat Party. Right into the sixties and seventies. Segregation. It&#8217;s never been a Republican position ever. But then it turned into an economic issue. You see, while you don&#8217;t support this group because you don&#8217;t support redistribution of wealth or these programs or that programs, very clever. And yet they still love Franklin Roosevelt in 1940, refused to sign an anti lynching federal law. Is afraid he&#8217;d lose some votes. Ah, that that his administration turned away Jews who had fled Europe, many of whom wound up. Killed in the oven. So the Holocaust. And I could go on and on. But now it&#8217;s a party that embraces the Islamists. It&#8217;s a party. Like the European left that does the same thing. Now we have this guy, Hassan Piker. And I want the Supreme Court to understand what they did because this has real world consequences. What the Supreme Court did in creating constitutional izing creating birthright citizenship. Which is absolutely not in the Constitution and never was. But we have cowards in John Roberts. We&#8217;ve cowards. In Barrett. They made a political not policy decision. There is simply no constitutional justification for what they did. And so we get Hassan Piker, whose parents come here from Egypt. They&#8217;re very well to do. They gave birth to this little bastard. Then they go back to Turkey with him. He becomes radicalized and he comes back. A citizen. And you&#8217;re going to see more and more and more of this. Because this is what&#8217;s been going on now for decades. It&#8217;s now coming to a head. And you can thank the Supreme Court that just constitutionally is this You realize there&#8217;s nothing we can do about this guy. We can&#8217;t naturalizing. According to the Supreme Court, he&#8217;s a citizen by birth. We can&#8217;t deport him. He&#8217;s a citizen by birth. And then you have said. Said. What a disgrace. And we now have thousands and thousands like this. I&#8217;ve said before, and it&#8217;s been picked up by others, and that&#8217;s a good thing. It&#8217;s this. Islamism. Is incompatible with Americanism. It&#8217;s incompatible with our founding, with our declaration, with our Constitution, obviously with our Judeo-Christian belief and value system. Just like Marxism. It&#8217;s incomparable. It doesn&#8217;t work. They&#8217;re not going to assimilate. That doesn&#8217;t mean there aren&#8217;t some Muslims who will. No question about that. And I know several. But that&#8217;s not the point. The point is Islamism won&#8217;t and can&#8217;t. And when you&#8217;re talking about 2 billion people worldwide, it only takes a small percentage and it isn&#8217;t that small. That embraces the most radical elements of Islamism. Pikers. One of them. This is a constant slap in the face of Mr. Mrs. America. You, the American people. We love this country. Some people have come to this country legally and they love the country. Some people are fifth, sixth, eighth, 10th generation. Love the country. But in the last several decades, with open borders and the ushering in a third world miscreants, malcontents and reprobates who hate the country. Well, we&#8217;re turning into Europe and Europe is dead. Can&#8217;t defend itself. It doesn&#8217;t have the will to survive. It&#8217;s over. And that cancer is in America in the form of the Democrat Party, in the form of the media and the form of the culture. Hassan Pikers, interviewed by Axios yesterday. So the first question I have is why? The New York Times has given a platform several times. Major media keep giving him a platform. Axios gives him a platform. Why? I wouldn&#8217;t let that little thug bastard on my program any more than I would let the thug bastard. Tucker Carlson on my program. Two peas in a pod. Back. He endorsed Al, said Dick Carlson for the Senate. So here&#8217;s Piker. COP one Go. You once said that America is the top dog in terrorism. Yes. Do you think America then, is worse than al Qaeda? Pound for pound as far as the number of deaths, yes, we have caused tremendous terror all around the world. I think that that is not only terror that we are waging on regular civilians in nations in the periphery, but it&#8217;s also having consequences on ourselves. It&#8217;s it&#8217;s having dramatic consequences. Okay, that&#8217;s enough. So so, ladies and gentlemen. I want you to think about something. We were attacked. In World War Two. We destroyed the Axis powers. We didn&#8217;t take over Japan. We didn&#8217;t take over Germany. We didn&#8217;t take over Italy. We defeated them. We didn&#8217;t conquer their territory. Did we? Israel&#8217;s been attacked repeatedly and they respond. And they respond. I don&#8217;t know, another religion on the face of the earth. That has committed some of the acts of terrorism. That has attempted to conquer so much land. And overthrow one government after another. I don&#8217;t. So pound for pound. America has caught tremendous terror all over the world. So when we liberated a quarter of a billion people. In Eastern Europe. We committed acts of terrorism. So in World War Two, when we defeated Hitler and Tojo and. Fascist Italy. Maslany. And liberated people. Throughout Europe. We committed acts of terrorism. We have never committed any act of terrorism ever. Ever. In this guy&#8217;s cancer ridden brain. We and Israel. Fighting Khomeini in Iran directly and indirectly. Fighting other terror elements in the Middle East. We are committing acts of terrorism, not the Islamists slaughtering black Christians in Africa. No. Not the Islamists killing Christians and Druze and other minorities in Syria? No, not Muslims slaughtering Muslims over a half a million in Syria. No, no, no, no, no. Not 99% Muslim. Yemen, where the Hutus have slaughtered 150,000 people. Now, this is real life, ladies and gentlemen. This is what&#8217;s going on. Not the Taliban in Afghanistan brutalizes executions. Horrendous. The treatment of women. The treatment of little girls. The brutality unspeakable. Unspeakable. It&#8217;s the United States U.S.. With our great constitution that they want to destroy. Due process. Warrants. The right to counsel. You don&#8217;t get any of that in anywhere in the Muslim world, period. This is a man who&#8217;s been embraced by Roxana. A representative from Silicon Valley who wants to be president. This is a man who was the man around town just a few months ago, right? Now the Democrats closer to the election. I know we don&#8217;t want to talk about him. Well, we&#8217;re going to talk about him. Because he&#8217;s out there and the media is promoting him and he&#8217;s the face of the Democrat Party. Cut to go. It seems you care a lot more about how Israel treats Muslims than how China treats Muslims. Yeah, because Israel is murdering not just Muslims but Christians as well with my tax dollars. Israel is murdering Christians. And Muslims with his tax dollars. And it is funny, isn&#8217;t it? It is funny. He doesn&#8217;t really talk about China, does he? And 2 to 3 million weavers. In concentration camps with horrific things being done to them. They&#8217;re Muslims. Israel is not killing Christians and is. Not killing Muslims. Israel&#8217;s killing enemies that attack them first. Do you understand there are Israeli Muslims that serve in the IDF? That serve in the IDF, Arabs. Indians, people of all backgrounds, people of all faiths, Muslims, Christians, obviously Jews and so forth. Druze. It&#8217;s probably one of the most diverse societies on the face of the earth, just like ours. I&#8217;ve told you before. If you hate America, you hate Israel. If you hate Israel, you hate America. Why? Because we have shared values and beliefs. The Hebrew Bible. The Torah. Was essential to our founding. And the embrace of Christianity. In the overwhelming number of Christian delegates, the second Continental Congress, into the Constitutional Convention. But for the Christian majority, we wouldn&#8217;t be the country we are. But for the Torah, the Hebrew Bible, we wouldn&#8217;t be the country we are. All rejected. All rejected. But all embraced by us and by Israel. I&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 2<br />
</strong>Al Qaeda. Seriously. Ladies and gentlemen, a terrorist organization that slaughters civilians and slaughtered 3000 of our people. This guy is walking around. He&#8217;s got a poor she&#8217;s got a multimillion dollar home in Malibu and dresses in a thousand $2,000 suits, and he&#8217;s invited in the median. So, you know, it&#8217;s amazing. And by the way, don&#8217;t misread what I&#8217;m saying. I&#8217;ve never been invited to be interviewed on any of these programs is a number one New York Times bestselling author, radio host, TV host. And I don&#8217;t want to be. That&#8217;s not my point. For the left wing media in America. I am more toxic than this guy, Mr. Producer. Isn&#8217;t that crazy? It&#8217;s stunning to me. Stunning. It&#8217;s disgusting. It&#8217;s disgusting. That just shows you where the left is, where the Democrat Party is, where the media are. It just shows you how sick this is. I&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 3<br />
</strong>The editorial board of the Detroit News. I don&#8217;t know if the free Press is still there. It used to be fairly solid paper. The Detroit News, I believe, is pretty left wing. The Detroit News endorsement for U.S. senator from Michigan goes to Mike Rogers. Fairly shocking. They say Mike Rogers is the prototype of a United States senator who spent 14 years in the House rising to chair the vital Intelligence Committee. The 63 year old Republican led Congress at the end of 2014, having been elected to his House seat seven times by his mid-Michigan constituents. Rogers then embarked on a successful career in private industry, becoming an expert in cybersecurity. He&#8217;s also served his country as an officer in the U.S. Army and as an FBI agent assigned to the organized crime division. He&#8217;s mature, they say, trustworthy, more than prepared to sit at the table with national and world leaders. ROGERS Experience, clear thinking and temperament are bound to quickly vault him into the Senate&#8217;s leadership ranks should he prevail in the November three election. By contrast, they write his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed, has a thin career background that contains little to recommend him for one of the nation&#8217;s most powerful leadership jobs. El-Sayed spent two years as head of Detroit&#8217;s health department and two more years as director of the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. He&#8217;s a doctorate in public health and was an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia University. The 41 year old Rhodes Scholar has spent much of his adult life in classrooms, while Al-said holds a medical degree and has described himself as a physician, does not have a license to practice medicine. Then he&#8217;s not a physician. The most glaring gap in his resume is that he has never held a political or policymaking position. There&#8217;s a bigger concern about outside. He has worked so hard covering his tracks leading up to this Senate race that it&#8217;s impossible to know who he really is or where he would stand in the Senate. Actually, it&#8217;s very easy to know. We have a budding growing. anti-American Islamist. Jew hating wing in the Democrat Party. Seeing the Republican Party. We don&#8217;t tolerate it. That&#8217;s why Qatar, Olsson and the rest of them are. They&#8217;re in the wilderness. Attacking. He&#8217;s deleted social media posts. They reportedly call into question his attitude about America in the aftermath of 911 terrorist attacks. He&#8217;s taken down roughly 100 YouTube videos that paint an unflattering picture of him and his cultural views. Candidate who feels the need to hide his past from voters is not someone who can be trusted to be the same person after Election Day as he was on the campaign trail. El-Sayed claims to be a capitalist, though he&#8217;s embraced many of the priorities of the Democratic Socialists of America is endorsed by spiritual leader Senator Bernie Sanders, and is some of the more outrageous members in his orbit. He also says he has no animosity toward Jews, but is demure on support for Israel&#8217;s right to exist as a Jewish state. Again, on this issue, his associations are telling. El-Sayed brought in Hasan Piker as they closer her first primary election campaign. Piker is a twitch personality and a notorious s.a Semite and I might add, anti-American. The Democratic Congressional Caucus is already awash in anti-Israel members. It doesn&#8217;t need one more from Michigan. That&#8217;s a good point. Michigan faces far too many challenges that require help from Washington to sending someone to the Senate who would vote with the Democrat Party&#8217;s radical wing, limiting its effectiveness and delivering for his state. The concern many voters have with Mike Rogers, according to recent Detroit News. Devi TV polling is that he&#8217;s been endorsed by President Donald Trump. President&#8217;s favorable ratings are part of Michigan and his policies excuse me, over the past year. Without question, they go on harm the state and its residents. Even here, they hate Trump, you know, they say. But voters should not lock themselves to a radical senator just despite Trump. The president will be out of office in two years. The Senate seat has a six year term and we believe Mike Rogers is the sort of leader who will be willing and able to help reverse the harm of Trump&#8217;s policies. So stupid. The automobile industry is doing incredibly well as a result of Trump&#8217;s policies. But the libs do the lib thing. So they endorse Rogers. They trash pica and they trash Trump. Wimps, but nonetheless, I&#8217;m sure. We can take it. Better than nothing. Simon Sanders. Actually. Symone Sanders Townsend excuse me, MMS, now host. That is Marcellus Dee. And she&#8217;s on a podcast. And she makes it abundantly clear. Painfully clear in pictures there that if she were advising a Democratic candidate. Oh, I didn&#8217;t know that. Former Senator Jon Kyl passed away. Republican of Arizona. Let me tell you, I didn&#8217;t know him well, but I knew him a little. He was fantastic. I didn&#8217;t know that. He&#8217;s a good man and he retired on his own. He wasn&#8217;t defeated. You&#8217;ve been a House member, have been a senator, and he was very solid and just a very decent, classy guy. I&#8217;m sorry to see that. Only 84. Tells you how much time you have left, you know, Rich. But do you think I have left Ten years? Maybe. 30. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that&#8217;s right. Yeah. Anyway, Symone Sanders Townson. She&#8217;s on this podcast on the clock, her clock it. Cut, forego. I used the word campaigns and thought, and I have to tell you, if I was a strategist or a consultant or, you know, the political director on one of these campaigns, I would absolutely be telling my people to disavow you, because depending on where we are, I really would. Because we want. Yeah. Yeah. I&#8217;m like, if you&#8217;re not people with me, we have in this. I have elected people, though, and you&#8217;ve never elected anybody. I know. You&#8217;re right. You&#8217;re absolutely right. But here&#8217;s the thing. I&#8217;m not expecting these people to hug and kiss me or even defend me vociferously. I&#8217;m expecting them to tackle the form, tackle the framework, to expose the hypocrisy. Now, the hypocrisy is not going to work for MAGA. They&#8217;re a cult. We know that. But oh, funny here in this from an Islamist. Boy, is he detestable. Go ahead. In the broad coalition that we have designed, the anti-Trump coalition that will go, Oh my God, finally someone is addressing the fact that they are holding a twitch streamer, a rabble rouser. You&#8217;re not a rabble rouser. You&#8217;re a terrorist supporter. You&#8217;re a bigot and a racist and a Jew hater. You support Mao and you just talked up Al Qaida while talking down America. Do they get more disgusting than this piece of crap? Ladies and gentlemen. I don&#8217;t think so. Go ahead. The President of the United States of America. This is so insincere. So when I see Democrats lean in to a Republican birthright citizenship, I want to thank the chief Justice of the United States. John Roberts. I want to thank his sidekick, Amy Coney Barrett. Brett Kavanaugh kind of split the baby. But of course, the Democrats, they did their conga line. The three Democrats. What a disgusting situation. Go ahead. Show how wonderful they are to show how you know, to show how different they are from people like myself. I get increasingly, you know, here&#8217;s what gets me. The guy is stupid. Okay. He&#8217;s a rambling buffoon. That&#8217;s what he is. He&#8217;s a rambling buffoon. And. The fact that he has he hasn&#8217;t weaseled his way into the Democrat Party. He&#8217;s been ushered into the Democrat Party. Now some of them are running for the hills. Now say, I don&#8217;t want to talk about him. Debbie Dingell. Barry is one of them. Debbie Dingell, Barry. He used to pretend to be a moderate. She&#8217;s no martyr, but now she doesn&#8217;t want to talk about him. But they all were slobbering all over Puka. Slobbering all over. Now Saeed as the Detroit. News just pointed out his closer in the primary was Hassan Puka. But now he&#8217;s trying to distance himself from Buchanan, having tried to erase his whole background on social media. And so it comes up. Debbie Dingell Berry on the Constipated News Network today. Cut five go. Before that interview clip published, Shell Siyad told our Mani Raja he would not campaign with Piker in the general election. He did campaign with Piker in the primary. We&#8217;ve seen Piker continue to make provocative comments. Does LCA need to do more to distance himself from Piker? I want to say this at this point, I&#8217;m so sick of talking about Hasan Gives a damn. What? You&#8217;re sick, lady. The reality is he&#8217;s part of your party. What&#8217;s wrong? You don&#8217;t want to answer it. You don&#8217;t want to answer it. You should be condemning him. You should be condemning him. And yet you can&#8217;t do it, can you? You know what Chuck Schumer&#8217;s done? The highest ranking Jew in the Senate ever. You know what he&#8217;s done? He&#8217;s embraced outside. He sent in $10 million in to Michigan to help them. Says we had a good and friendly meeting. A good and friendly meeting. These are the left wing Jews in the Democrat Party that people like me have to deal with. Mr. Peters. I hate to say it, but it&#8217;s true. True suicidal. There&#8217;s nothing. That El-Sayed can say that would stop Chuck Schumer from supporting him. You&#8217;ve got the attorney general in Michigan couldn&#8217;t even go to her own Democrat Party convention. She said she&#8217;d be booed. She worried about her safety. And then she tells Jews. Basically it kind of put party before your own. Security. Wow. Then you have a. Another Jewish senator from Michigan, Slotnick, or whatever the hell her name is. She campaigned as a moderate. You know, she worked at the CIA once. She endorsed said. The guy from Georgia. What&#8217;s his name, hash cough or whatever his name is. I know. I&#8217;m just. He endorsed outside. Crazy. Crazy. So Dingell, Berry said, I don&#8217;t want to deal with this. Go ahead. Have Son Tiger to go away. I don&#8217;t know why he had to do that interview. Everything he said in that interview is, look, the bombing of the school in Iran was horrific. We shouldn&#8217;t be in the war in Iran. We continued to vote for it. This election is about it. I don&#8217;t see it now on paper. I want. I want, he said. I think Israel&#8217;s got a right to exist. Quite frankly, the things he has said about women are horrific. I don&#8217;t understand. I keep telling people, someone explain to me why he has so many followers, but he is not. If he wants to see Abdullah El-Sayed elected, stop going on television. He should stay away after he is elected. Do whatever you want. Do whatever you want. But not now. Not now. Now we got to get that seat. So damn power hungry. No principles whatsoever to damn power hungry. I&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 4<br />
</strong>Al-Syed with reporters in. Yesterday after he had a what was to be a very confidential meeting with Schumer, they saw him going in the back door. And then they caught him going in the back door. And they were they went up to Schumer and they said that was the meeting. And he&#8217;s very well, very highly hunched over. And he was crawling out from under his rock and very well was very friendly, very positive. Sick. Absolutely sick. Cut. Six go. But people care about I care about what Hassan Piker was campaigning. They really don&#8217;t care. Well, even they really don&#8217;t like. I&#8217;ve been all over Michigan, you know, nobody asked me that question. Y&#8217;all like to ask me. You people like to care. But, you know, I mean, you&#8217;re asked that question all the time. Boy, you are a serial liar. Go ahead. DC. But I would encourage you to come to places like Michigan and have conversations with people. I promise you, they don&#8217;t think that a streamer in California is raising the price of their guy, a streamer in California that you had at your primary election. Hmm. Then what are you talking about? See, they got it all figured out. The radicals, the Marxist and the Islamists just distance you remember the guy in. The guy in Texas. Remember him. Remember what his pastor said? Oh, yeah. Yeah. He&#8217;s a. Yeah, he&#8217;ll he&#8217;ll change his position after the election. He has to get elected. This is what they think of you, America. Oh, you&#8217;ve. Oh, you folks in Michigan. This is what they think of you. Understand? Go ahead. I mean, the guy right down there who lives in the White House, he&#8217;s doing it. So people really, really care about why Donald Trump seems to be interested. And so they how he shifts it to Donald Trump. This is all practiced, all talking points. Go ahead. Trade war. We have no business fighting. We&#8217;re fighting a hot war. We have no business fighting. That&#8217;s what people are talking about, this hot war stuff. It just amazes me and I have made the point online. I&#8217;ve made it here. I&#8217;ve made it on TV. And again, it&#8217;s being repeated now and it should be. All this boomer crap about a guy he could have Rogue. I. Creating weapons of mass destruction. People don&#8217;t even know what they&#8217;re talking about. And there&#8217;s Bernie Sanders at the charge. Mr. Marxist. We we up to control all of that. We couldn&#8217;t have this sort of thing going on. We can&#8217;t. Meanwhile, we have a genocidal mass murdering regime in Iran. That has, in fact, produced weaponized uranium for nuclear weapons. That, according to our envoy, Wycoff, was 11 days. 11 days from having a warhead. And then they say, we have no business doing. No, no, no, no. It&#8217;s a lie we have to worry about. Not the Iranian regime. No, no, no. That&#8217;s how sick these buffoons are. We&#8217;ll be right back.</p>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">On Wednesday&#8217;s Mark Levin Show, the central AI debate is between freedom and government, and between knowledge and idiocy. These politicians, bureaucrats, and regulators think they know more than inventors, creators, and innovators, and are trying to make people fearful of technological advancement. We need to remember the politicians who oppose this progress; they&#8217;re populists, nationalists, Marxists, and socialists who seek greater control while presenting their actions as protecting &#8220;the people.&#8221; Government control of AI would be a power grab and would benefit Democrat political interests and favored groups, while also helping Communist China. Government and politicians need to keep their hands off and allow advancement to move forward. Also, Arkansas Senate candidate Hallie Shoffner says she would trade five Americans for one ‘undocumented immigrant.&#8217; Hardworking Americans pay taxes and contribute significantly to the country. Schaffner is ineffective and out of touch. Meanwhile, Texas Senate candidate James Talarico&#8217;s pastor says that Talarico will return to his previous radical views after being elected. He is changing his message solely to gain political power. Later, gas prices are high but voters should not be discouraged from supporting Republicans in the midterm election. Electing Democrats by staying home on Election day will not lower gas prices. Democrats support policies that would raise costs, increase taxes, expand government power, and advance a radical agenda. Republican victories are necessary to maintain control of the House and Senate and prevent investigations, impeachments, and Democratic control of government. Low voter turnout could lead to the destruction of the economy and our republic. Afterward, Deuteronomy was the most widely read and cited book during the Revolutionary period, appearing more frequently in speeches, writings, and official documents than any other source. Figures such as Madison, Washington, Adams, and Jefferson repeatedly referenced the Hebrew Bible, not to promote Judaism, but because they saw parallels between ancient events and their own circumstances. Ideas from the Hebrew Bible helped shape arguments about natural law, natural rights, and the Creator, while also overlapping with Enlightenment thought, particularly that of John Locke, although Deuteronomy was cited even more frequently. Finally, Ben Shapiro calls in to discuss Daily Wire&#8217;s new film &#8211; Run Hide Fight: Infidels.</span></p>

<p><strong>Segment 1<br />
</strong>Hello, America. Mark Levin here.  Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. While the debate continues, Do we believe in freedom or government? Do we believe in knowledge or idiocy? And I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m getting pretty tired of these politicians self-righteously telling us to choose them over everybody else. This will be the first time. The first time. When the government. And the bureaucrats and the politicians will be smarter than the smartest people on earth. And they want you afraid. And they want you in fear. And they want you scared. Scared of knowledge. And I want you to remember their names. I want you to remember their names. Josh Hawley. The Bernie Sanders. The other is names I can&#8217;t even remember. Because they&#8217;re out there protecting you, you know? And so when we have new cures for various right now, incurable diseases and illnesses. Alzheimer&#8217;s and cancer and God knows what else. You know, we have brand new industries being created that we can&#8217;t even imagine. Good jobs. Good paying jobs with good benefits. Blue collar jobs, white collar jobs, jobs across the board. When this industrial revolution creates more economic growth. And wealth creation. Four more people than ever before in human history. I want you to remember who these politicians are. They are populists and nationalists, whatever the hell that means. It doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re conservative. I know that. They&#8217;re Marxists and they&#8217;re socialists and they&#8217;re ganging up and they&#8217;re teaming up. And they want you to believe. Then in this instance. They know more. They know more than the inventors and the creators. Then the technicians when they know nothing. Zero. They don&#8217;t even know how to balance a budget. They don&#8217;t even know how to use your tax dollars wisely. But here they know everything. Everything. And they used the usual phrases We want guardrails and we want to protect the people. I think Holly was saying these businesses, they have to work for the people. The people are. It&#8217;s a very good phrase. I&#8217;ve heard the commies use it all the time. I&#8217;ve heard the socialists use it all the time. The people we the people are the inventors. We&#8217;re the creators. We&#8217;re the customers who use this stuff and want more of it. We&#8217;re the ones. Faster, faster, faster. Fine. Fine. Cures for for these horrific diseases that are killing us and our family members. Find better ways to create the great crops, to grow them, to harvest them. So many ways in which more knowledge and technology can benefit us. But then they tell you. But then they tell you What about a runaway actor who may create a nuclear weapon? And many of them are the same people. When we have a regime in Iran, Islamo Nazis who have created have created weaponized weaponized uranium. Are building nuclear warheads. Have already built intercontinental missiles in the hands of suicide bombers from the seventh century. Want to blow us up the face? They are. They say, Oh, this was a war of choice. What are you worried about? Look in front. I hear these morons on radio right before an election. You go to war with Iran. What are you thinking? What are you thinking? What a bunch of schmucks. We&#8217;re thinking there is an enemy that wants a nuclear weapon and we&#8217;re going to deal with it. They don&#8217;t work on our election cycle. And yet many of the same people going on and off. What if somebody is working, you know, nuclear in the basement? Nobody can do that. Not so easily. But ladies and gentlemen, we already have criminal laws against. If you were making a nuclear weapon in your basement. We&#8217;ve got antitrust laws, we have the Federal Trade Commission, we&#8217;ve got anti-competitive laws, we&#8217;ve got criminal laws up the wives. We have civil laws up the wazoo. States have the same type of codified laws. They want you to think that this is just open and notorious and there&#8217;s nothing anybody can do about anything. Now, nobody believes that, do they? Do you? This is a power grab. Remember I told you about power? You got to think of politics through the land. You see it through the lens of power. There&#8217;s positive power and there&#8217;s negative power. I heard Governor Ron DeSantis, I thought he made some very good points on HANNITY last night. He said, look, I think we have to protect children and this, that and the other. Okay, I&#8217;m all for that. I don&#8217;t have a problem with that. It&#8217;s probably already happening, but I don&#8217;t have a problem with that. It&#8217;s okay. I do not agree. I do not agree that you you could have trial lawyers bringing class action suits and putting these businesses out of business. That&#8217;s not something I can accept. No redistribution of wealth through litigation. I&#8217;ve never been for that and I&#8217;m not going to start. But he&#8217;s had some good ideas, but he&#8217;s not. Typical of some of these politicians who are going on about what it is that they want and what they want to do and they want to control it, and then they make it sound. So we just want to slow down. We just want to put a check on what&#8217;s going on. Who&#8217;s we? Hakeem Jeffries. I mean, seriously, who&#8217;s we? Jamie Raskin. Who&#8217;s we? Chuck Schumer. Seriously, folks. Really? They have an IQ of a come quite collectively. They can&#8217;t keep their damn hands off of anything. And they see wealth. They see power. And as politicians, wealth and power, it&#8217;s like flies on. Spaghetti. Now they don&#8217;t earn it, but they want to control it and distribute it. The Democrats, it&#8217;s clear what they want. It&#8217;s clear what they and the communist Chinese want. They want the federal government to control it, which means. Giving our benefits to their. To their favorite front groups, to their favorite groups to themselves in order to create a power source for them that that can never be defeated. Just think. Just think of the control that they would have. The communist Chinese, obviously they can&#8217;t keep up with us, so they count on the Democrats and the populist and the nationalists. Whatever happened to America first? Do they sound like America first today? Do they? Let&#8217;s go forward. Let&#8217;s get this done. Keep your hands off, except in the most extreme circumstances. Let&#8217;s get this now. Now we got to look at it for the people, of course. Was George Orwell who says everybody uses the word democracy, especially those who don&#8217;t have a democracy. Fascists used democracy, communists used democracies. Real democracies use the word democracy. And so there also we the people for the people, Bernie Sanders For the people. HAWLEY For the people were for the people. I don&#8217;t know. Did you the people did you communicate with Bernie Sanders today? Did you communicate with Josh Hawley today? I didn&#8217;t. Did you? So who do they think they represent? They just create this image. We stand for the people. Bernie Sanders at the so-called pro human assembly yesterday. Were there big fat slob? Who pled guilty to a felony and also got a pardon from the president. That&#8217;s right. Third Reich. Bannon Cut one go today. Eight models can already escape human control, commit felonies by hacking into all the computers and create viruses that have never been seen before. And someone can. They can do all these things today, Mr. Produce. Well, are they doing them? Are they doing them? If they&#8217;re doing them. Well, tell us about them and why are we learning about it today, since this technology has been in existence for 20 years at a minimum? Well, it&#8217;s happening all of a sudden. What&#8217;s going on, folks? Are our prisons filled with these people? Are they even people? Are they filled with these machines? What is he talking about? He doesn&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s telling about talking about somebody wrote this for him. His concern as a commie is this. It&#8217;s very simple. This eliminates the entire reason, even the rationale for communism. The wealth creation, the opportunities that are provided for all levels and all tiers of the economy, all aspects of the economy. This is capitalism. This is how capitalism works. It&#8217;s going to create cures and do all these sorts of things. And what are they going to run against? They can&#8217;t run against affordability. That won&#8217;t even be an issue of in any significant way. What are they going to run against? That&#8217;s his problem. Karl Marx. Well, he didn&#8217;t figure this out way back in the 1830s, forties and fifties. Oh, no. In fact, he wasn&#8217;t even around for the second Industrial Revolution. He got it so wrong. So what did they come he&#8217;s going to do? Kill it. Kill it, Killer. We need redistribution of wealth. We need a static economy. We need to rail against the economy. That tends capitalism. That&#8217;s right. That&#8217;s what he wants. Go ahead. Here is what is most extraordinary about the transformative and unprecedented changes that he is making to our society. Well, let&#8217;s stop. Can I ask you, Mr. or Mrs. America, what are the transformative or unprecedented changes he&#8217;s made in your life? Only to the better. Only to the better. You all have iPhones or most of you cell phones of some kind. We have cell towers. You can thank AEI. You have laptops are computers. Whatever you use, you can. Thank. I. Your automobiles. I. I mean, everything. Hearing aids. The fibula. And on and on and on. So what is this horrendous thing that they&#8217;ve created? What is this horrible thing that they&#8217;ve created? Isn&#8217;t it interesting? We&#8217;ve never seen a concentration like this in two weeks of an entire movement. They came together like overnight in two weeks. All of a sudden, I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t want to go on. I don&#8217;t know. This area, the data centers, they&#8217;re using all our water. And you find another, not whether they&#8217;re driving up the costs of our in it how they&#8217;re not. Okay? They&#8217;re making all these noises. I don&#8217;t like noises. Even though I got the TV on morning, noon and night that I don&#8217;t like them. No, they&#8217;re not. Unless you live within 100 feet of them. Oh, well, they killing Japs. No. And that 800,000 jobs have been created. Oh, well, what about the nukes? They&#8217;re going to create nuclear weapons. Got you on that one. Got you on that one. No, they&#8217;re not. Go ahead. Despite living in a so-called democracy. Here we go. A so-called democracy. We don&#8217;t have plebiscites. We&#8217;re not a democracy. We&#8217;re republic. I have to educate this moron over and over again. That&#8217;s why I won&#8217;t come on the show. He wouldn&#8217;t get away with this crap with me. Are these so-called democracies putting down our country? Putting down our country. First of all, we&#8217;re a republic. But that aside, we don&#8217;t vote. We don&#8217;t have plebiscites and referenda. We don&#8217;t do that at a national level. This company, yes or no, America? Well, I&#8217;m yes. And I&#8217;m. No, that&#8217;s fine. Yeah, we don&#8217;t do that. That&#8217;s called a mob. Go ahead. The public has had virtually no input. So what? We don&#8217;t have public input into private sector activity. Would you like public input on whether you should be able to buy that house or not? America. Or that business, you work for public input. The public decides through spending money what it wants. That&#8217;s the great thing about capitalism. Do you know why AI is being developed and they have all this money? Because you would purchase products that many of these companies are involved in. You have the final say, the customer, the customer. That&#8217;s what capitalism is all about. That&#8217;s what freedom&#8217;s all about. You don&#8217;t have any say. What does that mean? We&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 2<br />
</strong>So we&#8217;re seven weeks before an election and the Democrats, they&#8217;ve moved on from affordability because they have no answers for that. They&#8217;ve created a situation that&#8217;s. Unaffordable, affordable when it comes to fuel and so forth. But let me tell you something. Here&#8217;s the big news today that nobody&#8217;s talking about. The poverty level. Listen to me, is the lowest today in the United States than any time in recorded history. You got the administrative. The poverty rate, slightly over 10% was hovering forever. Around 12, 14% is the lowest in recorded history. Want to hear something else? The wealth of the American people. The American people. Is higher today than any time in recorded history. The wealth and I&#8217;m talking about trillionaires, millionaires and billionaires. I&#8217;m talking about average people, the highest it&#8217;s been in recorded history. The poverty level, the lowest it&#8217;s been in recorded history. There&#8217;s a lot of good things going on in this economy. We&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 3<br />
</strong>By the way, from the Jewish insider, New York City Mayor Zoran Mandhana, a man Dami Kami, told reporters today he does not intend to participate in any demonstrations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s appearance at the U.N. General Assembly next week. And he maintained he did not endorse protests against the PM&#8217;s arrival. So he&#8217;s ratcheting down his earlier remarks from earlier this summer. Obviously, he couldn&#8217;t arrest he never was going to arrest maybe Benjamin Netanyahu or this man, Netanyahu has said has a spine of steel. He stared him down and he said, go ahead, give it a shot. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar met with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nassir Bourita in New York today, alongside U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Mike Walls, where Jerusalem and Rabat agreed to a series of measures to boost bilateral ties. So that&#8217;s Morocco and Israel. Saudi Arabia appears to have escalated its fight against the Houthis by launching a Chinese made ballistic missile for the first time. Based on debris recovery in Yemen and analyzed by Yemeni officials and weapons experts until now regarded relied on fighter jet airstrikes against the Iran backed militants. Well, there you have China who&#8217;s who&#8217;s selling missiles. Or parts or fuel to the Iranian regime that&#8217;s attacking Saudi Arabia. And Saudi Arabia is firing back a ballistic missile that&#8217;s Chinese made. What do you think of that, Mr. Producer? Hello. Hello. And not goodbye yet. Let&#8217;s get back. How come Bernie Sanders has never been investigated under fire or anything else as he represent a foreign country? It certainly seems like he represents all of our enemies, doesn&#8217;t it? When you love to know if he gets calls from our enemies, or at least communist parties in other parts of the world, wouldn&#8217;t you want to know that? I&#8217;d like to know that. I would like to know that. How come? How come? He&#8217;s always calling for an investigation. He&#8217;s always calling for somebody&#8217;s head except his own. Bernie Sanders at the pro human assembly yesterday. They come up with these jackass names as opposed to, you know, I intelligence. Whatever new health discoveries there are for me, I. Bernie Sanders should be banned. From getting them or he should himself boycott all of them. All of them. Cut to go to the CEOs of the major companies who have told us recently that they are concerned about the dangers inherent in the technique. There&#8217;s a handful, a couple in particular, most of which are left wing Democrats. And this is what we&#8217;ve called here. And I wrote about it Liberty in tyranny, crony capitalism. That is when big companies go to the government for regulations. That they claim are for safety and security and health and so forth and so on, when in fact the purpose of the regulations is to create an oligopoly, if not a monopoly. That is to eliminate all competition from smaller companies. That&#8217;s what they want. That&#8217;s not what they get. There needs to be a market system at play. There is right now. There should be no regulations that benefit a handful of these companies against the rest. And no regulations that are intended to handicap and cripple our industries. America first. Maybe America first. Go ahead. They are developing. If you believe in democracy. There he goes again. First of all, the man does not believe in democracy. How does he believe in democracy? Does he believe in democracy in Gaza? No. Does he believe in democracy in China? No. In Nicaragua? No. In Cuba? No. They believe in one election and out if there&#8217;s an election at all. If you believe in democracy, why can&#8217;t our guys call this stooge out? Instead, he&#8217;s up there with the with Third Reich Band and Third Reich Band and is there because he was told this free donut. You know that, Mr. Producer? Sky shovels marched, doughnuts in his face. It certainly looks like it. Go ahead. Believe that the people have a right to determine their future. Stop. Hold on, hold on, Hold on. A. We, the people, have a right to determine our future. Each of us as individuals, we don&#8217;t have the right to determine somebody else&#8217;s future. I don&#8217;t go to my neighbor and say, here&#8217;s what your future is going to look like. Well, I don&#8217;t go down the street to an office building and I say, What are you guys doing? We have a right to decide how you do it and determine our future. That&#8217;s not how this works. That&#8217;s not how it&#8217;s ever worked. That&#8217;s not what I is about. That&#8217;s not what it&#8217;s been founded on. There&#8217;s private property rights. We have copyright laws. We have. Trademark laws. We have patents. If you invent something, you have a property right in it. So, no, it&#8217;s not a matter of having some kind of a a claim or vote. We don&#8217;t even have a vote on what somebody else is doing. Their future. What does that have to do with anything? Go ahead. Groups of millions of dollars into superPACs. So what? So what? So what? Political action committees. They put hundreds of millions of dollars in PACs. Another guy puts hundreds of millions of dollars in a different PAC. We got PACs all over the place. So what? That&#8217;s called competition in an election time to. Well, they&#8217;re buying elections. Don&#8217;t you love it when politicians tell you that PACs are buying elections when every damn one of them is associated with their support? Some kind of a PAC? Seriously? Seriously. Go ahead. Trying to defeat members of Congress and candidates who are fighting for serious guardrails on guardrails. Guardrails on serious guardrails on a what are they even talking about? I need guardrails on big government. A $40 trillion debt, soon to be 50 trillion before you know it. Over trillion dollars just on interest on the debt bigger than the. The entire defense budget and that&#8217;s that can&#8217;t. Be sustainable. Social Security going broke in six years, according to the trustees. Medicare in seven years. This guy wants Medicare for all, which will kill Medicare immediately. What&#8217;s the plan? There is no plan. But they want more and more power, more and more control because we, the people, we demand that the federal government get bigger and fatter and spend more money and borrow more money and get their nose under every tent that&#8217;s imaginable. Isn&#8217;t that what we&#8217;re demanding, America? A ubiquitous federal government said it&#8217;s not ubiquitous enough. Rules and regulations and taxes and user fees. And sales taxes and property taxes. Real estate taxes. Taxes on your death. That&#8217;s right. The death tax. Never ends. It&#8217;s not enough. All we&#8217;re talking about here are companies that want to develop new technologies. Into the future. And look what they&#8217;ve turned it into because the commies oppose it, because the Democrats want to control it, because we have a PSYOP operation by communist China, and then we have morons, so-called populists and nationalists. We&#8217;re a populist. They sound just like Bernie Sanders. That&#8217;s not a mistake. They do sound like each other. Go ahead. Cut three. I think we have a mentally unstable president. All right, that&#8217;s enough. I don&#8217;t need this clown who&#8217;s truly mentally unstable. He seems to do a Professor Irwin Corey act every day. Who&#8217;s that doodling? The mentally unstable. This old guy, he&#8217;s the one who&#8217;s unstable. He&#8217;s never created anything. He&#8217;s never built anything. Never hired anybody in the private sector. Has never worked in the private sector in any significant way. But he can manage the entire country. He knows every industry. Why is it that everybody in the private sector to this guy&#8217;s crap? Correct. Why don&#8217;t we celebrate our businesses? Why don&#8217;t we celebrate our advances? Why don&#8217;t we celebrate our investments? Why don&#8217;t we celebrate these opportunities that are in front of us like no other generation before? I mean, folks, if the Luddites had won out in the early 1800s. We would never have had the cotton gin, for God&#8217;s sakes. The second Industrial Revolution. Incredible. Oil. Among other things, the railroad systems connecting one part of the country with another. And on and on and on. And then the third industrial revolution, the automobile. Lights, steel. And on and on. And now this industrial revolution. It&#8217;s a technological revolution. No, no, no. We can&#8217;t do that. Can you imagine? And developing booster rockets. Now, they might put nuclear warheads on or we can have booster rockets allow. That&#8217;s right. You heard him on nuclear energy. And we can&#8217;t have nuclear energy now. We can&#8217;t have this. We can&#8217;t have that. These are the Luddites. Look it up. It&#8217;s a real work. I used it the other month, and now it&#8217;s all over the Internet, people. Hey, look at that. That&#8217;s a new word. Well, it&#8217;s an old word, actually. I&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
<p><strong>Segment 4<br />
</strong>Apparently. China&#8217;s dictator Xi fell ill in India. People have said he looks ill. He&#8217;s looked over for a period of time, they say. Rumors are circulating, according to Pacific Wire. The G departed the BRICS summit in India after suffering a medical episode. There has not been officially confirmed. The South African president returned from the summit ill. His office confirmed footage shows Modi pausing mid speech to check if he is okay. We don&#8217;t have any more information than that. Who knows? Who knows? President is going to be speaking in North Carolina will pick up some of that. I love to listen to that, too. So don&#8217;t be nervous. Don&#8217;t leave your spot. Stay where you are. Well, you might say, you know, Mark, I&#8217;m tired of hearing about air and data centers and all. Well, don&#8217;t be. I&#8217;m trying to do this in a measured way, trying to pace ourselves. But this is a big deal and it&#8217;s good versus evil and it&#8217;s right versus wrong. That&#8217;s what it is. That&#8217;s what it is. It&#8217;s capitalism versus socialism. I don&#8217;t care how many pseudo conservatives have sold out. They&#8217;ve sold out. We don&#8217;t need to follow them. They&#8217;ve sold out. And I&#8217;m not going to follow the. The CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang. Here&#8217;s what he had to say yesterday. Cut for a go. I was I was the first CEO to come out, not in the software industry to say the end of software is nonsense. This is going to be a layer on top of software. This was it was a layer on top of software. This new layer on top of software is going to be a gigantic it&#8217;s going to make you use the software so much better. And so so that that&#8217;s the first idea. The second idea is air is going to destroy jobs. That&#8217;s also completely nonsense. It&#8217;s so ridiculous. It is a job creating machine. It&#8217;s already happening. We&#8217;ve had people call in here. Cement truck drivers calling in here say they&#8217;ve never had it so good. These are massive buildings. You need electricians. You need people in the trades who know what they&#8217;re doing. David Sax, the presidential science and tech adviser with Politico today. Cut five. Go. You have the president, though, who is very bullish on on AI, and he&#8217;s been pushing back at the skeptics, saying that anything bad about AI is a hoax. Do you think these safety concerns are a hoax? I think the hoax is promoting this idea that humanity is going to be extinct. What he said and his true social he said anything bad about AI is a hoax. Well, again, I think specifically what we&#8217;re talking about is this idea that A.I. is going to end civilization within a very short amount of time, and that is specifically the fear that&#8217;s being pumped through the media right now and promote. I mean, Elon Musk said about 10 to 20% chance that A.I. destroys humanity. Well, he also just said that, you know, abundance is a is it&#8217;s something that we&#8217;re not focusing enough on. Meaning, the probability of creating a world of great abundance is something that we&#8217;re not promoting enough. Instead, everyone&#8217;s just focused on their, quote, doom. So, you know, look, I think that we can have a more balanced conversation about this. What&#8217;s happening right now is that the media is pumping out all this fear that makes the public alarmed, and then they pull on that. And then sure enough, the polling reflects that sense of alarm. Then they take those polls to the politicians and say, see, the public is afraid. So then you got all these politicians saying, Oh, we have to do something. Yeah, yeah, exactly right. And politicians, if they&#8217;re anything, they&#8217;re gutless. They&#8217;re gutless. There&#8217;s a few exceptions, but the vast majority of them are utterly gutless. And so they see this and they&#8217;re playing into it and playing into it. And then they pat themselves on the back about how righteous they are. They&#8217;re not righteous. They&#8217;re opportunists. They&#8217;re about power. They&#8217;re about self-promotion. They&#8217;re narcissists. That&#8217;s what politicians are for the most part. Not all of them. There&#8217;s some great ones, just not enough. Just not enough. I want you to look at the. At the goals, the political goals. Involved in trying to kneecap this industry before it&#8217;s even really. Shown even enough ankle to demonstrate how incredible it&#8217;s going to be. And I want you to remember, because I may not be around back now, this time. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve said about this entire industry and how it&#8217;s going to change your lives and the lives of your children and grandchildren for the better. If the Communist Chinese control it, it&#8217;ll be a disaster. Then you have a lot to worry about. But if we control it, we&#8217;re a good people. We&#8217;re a good country. You&#8217;re not going to have a lot to worry about. And to the extent there&#8217;s any miscreants, they will be handled lawfully. We&#8217;ll be right back.</p>
