On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, The IRS has distributed 90 million stimulus checks to 158 million households totaling over $240 Billion. This was completely unnecessary and the democrats have another vote-buying scheme lined up to distribute even more wealth. These tyrannical fascistic Democrats are at war with the American way of life. Then, President Biden breaks his silence in an interview with George Stephanopoulos, of all people, and contradicts his 2019 statements that the border-crossers need to surge the border so they can be heard. Now in the friendliest interview ever, Biden tells Stephanopolous that he never told any migrants to come to the border. Later, Julie Kelly from American Greatness calls in to discuss how bail is being denied for some of those arrested for involvement in the January 6th riots. Kelly reports that the charges are an overreach as they’re charging people felonies instead of misdemeanors. The prosecution even went as far as outrageously saying that because the defendants didn’t accept the outcome of the election, they are flight risks and will not accept the laws of the US as a result either. Afterward, US Senator Ron Johnson joins the show and explains how the left is attacking him with out-of-context smears. Johnson added that the left is trying to paint all of the voters that supported President Trump as armed insurrectionists and he refused to allow these lies to go unanswered.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
I mentioned the other week this radio business is very interesting. And it’s changing significantly. And my loyalty in radio is to you, my listeners. And I cannot thank you enough. I’m deeply blessed to have you out there, deeply blessed. And I stand on the shoulders of many great broadcasters who came before. Rush Limbaugh at the top of the list, Sean Hannity, Bob Grant, so many others, I can’t name them all. And that’s the way this is supposed to work. And there are also people. Who’ve been substitutes for this program and so forth. Hello, I’m friends with who do a great job or Patreus, who are moving on to bigger and better things, and that’s very, very important. I could never give up this slot six to nine p.m. Eastern Time, and you can calculate it wherever you are. Because this is my home. With you at our National Town Hall meeting. This is what I’ve been doing for almost 20 years now, right, Mr. Producer? I’ve built relationships. With companies beyond Cumulus, Westwood One, we have fantastic relationships. With virtually every broadcast corporation. That has a radio platform. And it is a wonderful working relationship that we’ve had over the years. And it allows me to reach millions and millions of people beyond Cumulus, Westwood One. In fact, I would say 60 to 65 percent of our audience. Is based on platforms that are not owned by the company I’ve partnered with Cumulus, Westwood One. This is why I cannot and will not move this show. I cannot and will not move the show. I cannot and will not move the show when I was approached about it. In the past, I’ve said no. No. When my mentor passed away, Rush, I said no. This is where I want to be. And so I am absolutely excited. And by the way, I said that weeks ago. I’m absolutely excited to tell you that, Dan Bongino. For those stations that that will carry his show in that particular slot. At least for Cumulus, Westwood One and other companies. That hopefully our interest, it is going to be filling that 12 to three. I was just told going on the air slot. And I’m very excited about that, the more voices that support our mission, the better. The more voices that support our mission, better. And I know he’s going to do a fantastic job. He’s been a good friend of mine for a long time. As I say, he’s been on this program many, many, many, many times. He’s got a wonderful podcast. And so I want to be the first to salute him. But I also want to thank you, millions and millions of you. The reason I couldn’t take that position. And I’m so thankful we have such a superstar’s day in their. I would have lost affiliates in New York. In Houston. In Phoenix. Potentially in Philadelphia. And I can go down the list. And so we didn’t want to do that here. We needed to maintain our. Our syndications, so nothing here changes, just so you know, nothing here changes, we continue to plow ahead and now we have another part. And I tell you, as somebody who was as close to Rush as any friend could be. I also think he’d be very pleased with this. So there you have it. I wasn’t asked to give an official announcement, I just chose to give it an out. So there’s no need for gossip, there’s no need for wringing hands, there’s no need for all the static, this is all good. It’s all positive. And I am thankful that Cumulous Westwood One. Supports a solid conservative. There you go. All right, stimulus checks, I want to bring this up. It’s just amazing to me, Yahoo! Money. Stimulus checks, 90 million payments have been sent out by the IRS. Around 90 million payments have been dispersed and less than a week since Joe Biden signed the latest one point nine trillion stimulus deal into law, according to the IRS and Treasury Department. The first batch of payments, it’s the first batch is worth approximately 242, Boehner, more than half of the 450 billion earmarked for stimulus payments. The IRS began processing payments on Friday while some Americans saw them deposited over the weekend. The IRS chose March 17 for the settlements to occur. The first batch. Ninety million people receive checks, Mr. Bruce in America, and it’s the first batch. The first batch went to taxpayers who have direct deposit information on file and bla bla bla bla. The majority of the payments will go up by direct deposit, but around 150000 paper checks. All right, this round is fourteen hundred dollars per eligible individual plus fourteen-hundred dollar bonus per dependent. Around one hundred and fifty-eight point five million households are expected to receive a payment under the stimulus deal, stop there. Stop there. Are you telling me nearly 50 percent of the people in the United States. Nearly half of the country. It’s even worse. A hundred and fifty-eight point five million households. Households. Are expected to receive a payment. Folks. A hundred and fifty-eight point five million households did not need a so-called stimulus check. This is an outrage, this is repulsive. This is unconscionable to drive this nation into such severe debt. By giving out money willy-nilly Helter-Skelter to people, many of whom don’t need it and don’t deserve it. And yet this is what takes place. A hundred and fifty-eight point five million households are expected to receive a payment under the stimulus deal. That’s not needs based. Under the latest bill, a single filer making up to 75,000 a year. Will receive the full payment. Well, those earning up to 80,000 will get a reduced amount, joint filers making up to 150,000 will get to hundred dollars total payments, while those earning up to one hundred and sixty thousand will receive a smaller amount previously. The phase out thresholds were one hundred thousand for single filers and 200,000 for joint filers. But the Republicans raised an objection, so they shaved a little bit off. This isn’t money going to people who. Who won’t eat, who won’t be able to pay their bills and so forth. This is crazy. Social Security beneficiaries, disability insurance beneficiaries, Supplemental Security Income recipients, Railroad Retirement Board beneficiaries and Veteran’s Administration beneficiaries are all eligible for the payment, even if they didn’t file a 20, 19 or 20, 20 tax return. Why? No offense, I’m just saying I know, I know, I know I’m always swimming against the current. I got it. I got it. But what’s that all about if you’re already receiving an entitlement or a pension payment from the government and so forth? Why do you need a fourteen-hundred dollar stimulus payment? I’ll tell you why. Buying votes left and right. And they have another two trillion dollar bill, they’re going to call it infrastructure, which has very little to do with infrastructure, just as this had very little to do with the virus. This isn’t virus based. Everybody’s getting these 4,500 dollar checks, whether they were affected negatively by the virus and the pandemic overall or not. They suggest. Taking money up into an airliner and just dumping it out the door is as fast as you possibly can. Additionally, Americans who qualify for the stimulus payment. And have dependents will get an additional 4,500 dollars per dependent. So if you’re making jointly. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. And there’s two of you and you have three kids. You’re going to get fourteen hundred times five extra producer. Seven thousand dollar. Whether you need it or not. What do you mean by need you understand what I mean, not that you want it. Seven thousand dollars by doing this calculation correctly, I think I am. You wonder why we’re going broke. Now you know why? And this is just a piece of it, just a little piece of it. I told you about my friends who own a restaurant, they don’t make a lot of money. Matter of fact, I would consider them straight in the middle class. And they’ve had a hellish year. And they wanted to open five days a week. And I told you about them last Friday, which is a big day for them in a restaurant business, they couldn’t open because they couldn’t get enough help, enough waitstaff. They’re supposed to open. St. Patrick’s Day, right, Mr. Producer. And they made the corned beef and cabbage and they had the plates and the menus that they couldn’t get enough waitstaff tonight. So they’re not opening. They’ve had to lose money. I tested this again, I drove off to a little town. That has one of these little chocolate franchises, a little store. And there’s an older guy making the fudge, and by the way, that takes a little bit of muscle. And there are also three or four look to be high school students in their working. Which was great, and I said to him, I don’t know, I said, are you the owner? He said, yes. And I said to him, why are you doing that, because I have to. I can’t get enough help in here. These people are competing with the federal welfare state. They’re competing with the federal welfare state. Now, I want you to think about something if they drive up. The so-called minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour. You’ll say, well, good. More people will be attracted to go to work, they can’t afford it. They can’t afford to do what they’re doing right now. And then they’re driving up the cost of energy, those are electric bills. Now, when you drive up the cost of electricity, you drive excuse me, of energy, you drive up the cost of everything. And then if they gross over 400,000 dollars a year, that doesn’t mean they’re netting anything close to 400,000 dollars a year, perhaps they’re netting 75 or 100 thousand dollars a year. Then they’re going to be facing a massive income tax increase. These people are at war with the heart and soul of our system, small businessmen and small business women. They just fought through this pandemic, they fought in blue states against tyrannical fascistic governors who are trying to put them out of business. And now as they’re trying to break through. They’re under attack. With a Marxist ideology that is embraced by Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and all the rest of the reprobates. And what about the psychology that we’re developing in this country? That you’re owed something. And if you don’t make money, you’re owed somebody else’s money. What if he can find some other basis for victimology asserted? You’ve got half of the country that’s actually earnest and studious, hard working, trying to make a buck, and you have the other half sitting on their ass demanding checks. The idea that 200 and why was it almost 60 million households are going to get checks, if that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know, then you don’t know anything. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
There was no need for what Joe Biden did because the economy is expected to grow in the first quarter by up to 10 percent, unemployment’s hovering around six percent. That’s not an outrageous number. And yet here we are. And so they’re going to have another massive two trillion dollar spending bill. Just think about that. Two and two, four trillion. We’ve already had four trillion. That’s 12 trillion. The federal budgets, four and a half trillion. That’s 16 and a half trillion and an 18 month period. A lot of people think this money’s coming from what will raise taxes on the wealthy massively. You could raise tax, you can confiscate the wealth of the wealthy, and you’re not going to be able to withstand what’s going on in Washington, D.C., but that’s the dirty trick. That’s the game they play. So not having massively increased the debt and going to massively increase it again because they want all money to flow through their hands, you see, because there really is no private sector, everything belongs to the government and in particular the Democrat Party. So now you have to pay your fair share. Now you have to pay your fair. The rest of you, don’t worry, just the rich. We’re going to get you believe that those are you paying higher gasoline prices right now on electricity, but you believe that? Well, I want you to hear what Joe Biden had to say this morning on Good Morning America. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
You know what amazes me, ladies and gentlemen, if you’re honest about paying your taxes and God knows I am. We tell our count every single year, go ahead and overpay. Well, you can deduct this, deduct that. I said you can deduct some of that, but don’t deduct that and don’t deduct that. Well, you have a right to set now. Just leave it. And so when you look at, look, this isn’t a sob story, I’m going to make a point when you look at the property taxes we pay. When you look at the state income taxes, we pay. When you look at the various county taxes we pay, when you look at the federal income tax, we pay. We’re over 50 percent. Joe Biden thinks that I’m not taxed high enough. The same Joe Biden. Who set up an escort? So he wouldn’t have to pay payroll taxes. That he wouldn’t have to pay Obamacare taxes. And the two or three years where he earned his most money giving speeches. He had his accountant set up a system by which he would not have to contribute to the very programs that he’s expanding. And then he gets up with this Marxist pablum, this class warfare. About the top one percent, which pays 70 percent of taxes. So here’s the deal. If you’re going to have a tax cut, whether you’re John Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, if you’re going to cut taxes, there’s no avoiding cutting taxes for wealthy people because they’re paying most of the federal income taxes. People may not be comfortable hearing this because they’re so used to the Marxist pablum, but that’s a fact. Google it, research it. Look at the Tax Foundation, an independent organization. See what they say about it. I didn’t make this up. So the whole look at the percentage of the tax cut that so-and-so got Donald Trump. Did his very best to make sure. That the middle class, the lower middle class and people below them, lower middle class who pay taxes, got the greatest tax cut. Ronald Reagan, when he cut taxes, massively took millions of people off the tax rolls. And yet he was accused of cutting taxes for the rich. As Trump is accused of cutting taxes for the rich. You can’t cut 80 percent of taxes and say it’s from the middle class or the lower middle class because they don’t pay 80 percent of the taxes, with all due respect. I’m not saying. You don’t pay a lot of taxes, I’m saying. Where most of the taxes, the income taxes come from. So here’s Joe Biden on Good Morning America, being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos. Now, here’s the thing. If I were to interview Donald Trump, who I consider a friend. People would say, well, you know, you’re Republican, he’s a Republican and so forth, doesn’t matter. I don’t pretend to be a news journalist. I’m an advocate. I’m about principle. I’m not about being, quote unquote, objective, and by the way, neither the media, I’m just making a point. But George Stephanopoulos is a long time Democrat operative, and he ran the war room against women. Who Bill Clinton had abused. And some nitwit at ABC News or Disney or whomever the hell it was decided, you know what this guy says he’s got the cred to be a major host on ABC. And there he is on Good Morning America. And we’re all supposed to pretend he doesn’t have a past. And so that’s the guy Joe Biden wants to be interviewed by for a reason. That’s the guy you wanted to have a town hall with. So here it goes, cut to go. They don’t like it because, in fact, they’re their idea of a tax cut is to give the Trump tax cut where 83 percent once the top one percent of the people, 83 percent, whether the top one percent. 83 percent of the tax cut wanted that, I don’t even know what that means. Do you know what that means, Mr.. And neither does he. 83 percent went to the top one percent. I didn’t get an 83 percent tax cut. Here’s what they did, they lowered the rate. They lower the rate, but they eliminated most deductions. So I don’t know what he’s talking about. One of the things they did is they eliminated the property tax and mortgage interest deduction up to, I think, ten thousand dollars. So wealthy people with multiple homes or big estates. Couldn’t deduct all those property taxes anymore, and the blue state governors went nuts. The blue state mayors went nuts because all of their left wing neo Marxist billionaires and millionaires were, hey, I can’t get a deduction, I can’t get a deduction anymore. So Trump did away with that. And they think they’re going to try and slip that back into a bill. Look, look, I want you to think about this for a second, why is it that the vast majority of millionaires and billionaires wanted Joe Biden elected president because they thought that their taxes would be massively increased? No, they thought he would benefit them and their companies. And let me remind you, corporations will go with the flow of corporations, they’re like chameleons, they’re like Jello. They’re not Arab capitalism, socialism, competition, lack of competition, we don’t really care, we just want our piece of the action. In fact, competition bothers us. When I really into this capitalism, except to the extent that we can keep our money, socialism, centralized government, as long as it benefits us and puts our competition out of business, we have no problem with it. So what? So what? Go ahead. Raising those taxes. Yes, anybody making more than four hundred thousand dollars will see a small to a significant tax increase. If you make less than four hundred thousand dollars, you won’t see one single penny in additional federal tax. Now, you know that’s a lie. That’s a flat out lie, and you know what, he was told it was a lie during the campaign when he brought that up to. One tax group after another did an analysis and said, that’s a lie. It’s not true, but he said it. And what will George Stephanopoulos say in response? Go ahead. Raw Politics here. You didn’t get a single Republican vote. So there you go. It doesn’t push back in the least. He’s got a massive research department over there at ABC, but he doesn’t push back at all. Now, you know, you said that last time that people analyzed your proposals. And it’s not true, Mr. President. But no, go ahead, tax cuts, how are you going to get a Republican vote for a tax increase? I may not get it, but I’ll get the Democratic votes for a tax increase. There you go. One party rule, that’s all it takes. We got 50 senators, man, and you know what 50 senators means, ladies and gentlemen, to Joe Biden, a mandate. He has no mandate. They lost a slew of House seats. They’re probably going to lose the rest that they need to lose for us to take the majority in the House. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the Senate. But I think the Republicans have a good shot at taking the Senate. And so as a consequence, they’re trying to rush through everything humanly possible, bending their own reconciliation rules. Threatening to to change aspects of the Constitution without an amendment to the Constitution. This is what they seek to do. Look, I may not get the Republicans, Mr. Unity, I may not get there, but I have all the Democrats. And that just shows you that this cinema in Arizona turns out we were all misled is a fraud. She’s no moderate. And Manchin from West Virginia, he’s a complete fraud and by the way, utterly stupid. So he’s a fraud and he’s stupid. And I don’t think if he wants to run again, I don’t think he can win in West Virginia. I think the the jig is up there. I don’t think there’s any question about that. The way he votes when they really need his vote, he gives them his vote. But there you go. Joe Biden has screwed up immigration. We have immense inhumanity now on the southern border, immense inhumanity on both sides of the border, these little kids, thousands of them. Thousands of them, God knows how many, are being abused in such awful ways. Little kids, because he opened his big mouth and I’ll prove it to you later in the show. Because he has to be the anti Trump. The walls being built got to stop the. Are. You want refugee status, we have an agreement with the Mexican government that you have to be in Mexico. Now, come on over, then we’ll figure it out. Oh, OK. Just make sure you come back for your administrative law court date in two years, OK? We will. And we know well over 80 I think over 90 percent never return. How many of them have the virus? We don’t know. How many of them have tuberculosis or mumps or the measles? We don’t know. How many of them are wearing masks? None of them. How many of them are keeping six feet apart? None of them. So my wife is on an airplane today. I think it’s united. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong and she’s sitting there and they, you know, they give out water and nuts, it’s kind of like your prisoner. But anyway, they are water and that’s her water and pretzels. What would you like? Would you like some stale white bread? OK. Anyway. So as most of us understand, in order to chew, typically, you need to lower the mask, right, Mr. Producer? You lower the mask, you insert the food you chew, maybe you’ll take a little bit of water and slosh it down. Lowers her mask. Eat some of the peanuts or whatever they are that they gave her, she’s about to take a swig of water and a flight attendant walks over and says. A man put on your mask. And she opens her hand, my wife, and says, I’m eating these nuts and. Put your mask on when you’re chewing, when you’re taking the nuts or drink, then you can pull your mask down. Is this a new rule or something, Mr.. So my wife. Who would normally give her what for? She’s on an airplane, and that’s not a good place to give a flight attendant for because, you know. Depending on who they are, they’re like members of the House, you know, a little bit of power goes a long way. Maybe they’re angry something happened and the family woke up the wrong side of the bed, but I’m eating peanut well in between bites, put them on their. So there’s a. I obviously, whose ex military is sitting next to her and he looks at her and he says, You know what? This is insanity, but this is going to get worse. Then I’m afraid it is. So what’s the moral of the story, Mr. Bruce? If you want to eat peanuts and you want to drink water without a mask, go to Mexico. And then sneak across the border because there are no rules. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
Where the news media where are these people, where is fake Jake Tapper? Where is he? Where is Wolf Blitzer? See away Andrea Mitchell, where are all these people? Our constitutional system is under assault. The desire to change the filibuster rule, the filibuster, which dates way back to the Roman era and the purpose of which is to keep the Senate as a deliberative body, not a majority Tarion body. Why aren’t they upset about this? Why aren’t they talking about how the Democrats want to eviscerate the traditions in this country? They want to eviscerate the institutions in this country. Where are they? Where is our free press checking government abuse? And they grab a power. I’ll tell you where they are. They’re in the back pocket of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party didn’t support eliminating the filibuster rule when the Republicans ran the Senate. Joe Biden, they have clips of Joe Biden. Years ago, saying he would not under any circumstances support changing the filibuster rule, and now he favors it. How much more do we have to put up with this unprincipled? Left wing agenda, which wants to permanently change our system so they can permanently control us. That’s the question. And so Joe Biden and it’s not taxes, spending. He wants to be bigger than LBJ was. He wants to be bigger than FDR was. He wants to be bigger. More progressive, a.k.a. neo Marxist. He will spend us into oblivion. He’ll sign any globalist bill possible. We’re all global citizens now. Did you know that? So what’s the point of voting exactly? Now they’re going after the voting system. They’re going after sovereignty on the border. They’re going after the court, so Schumer hasn’t given that up yet. Most autocrats don’t give it up. They’ve got all kinds of ideas, and they can’t let things like elections get in the way, they can’t let things like a 50 50 Senate get in the way, they can’t let things like separation of powers get in the way, a.k.a. the United States Constitution. And the Bill of Rights, the Bill of Rights, who cares about the Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, you’re canceled. Your canceled. Oh, freedom of association. No, can’t have that. Freedom of religion, not one of these blue states where they’re busy shutting everything down, even the Supreme Court has had to wrap them on the wrist, cut it out. There was some cut it out, open the churches, open the synagogues. What are you doing? You don’t have the power to do this, that to keep warning the guy. So tell me, where is it exactly where Biden and his comrades support our system? Support American sovereignty and citizenship. Support the private sector and individual liberty, support the notion of private property rights. What is it that they support? That’s the principled and ideal basis for the founding of this country in the first place. Can you name one thing? Nothing and everything they do. Every tyrannical step they take. They do it in the name of the people. Every tyranny does, every tyranny does, and they have to create devils. You see, there’s angels, people who receive money and devils, people who make money from whom we must steal it. Get the rich. Get up, get up, get up. Get them. Excuse me. Get them. Get them. Well, what’s rich today? It’s the guy next door. Tomorrow it’s you and your gasoline prices and your electricity prices and all the other prices. I’ll be right back.
