On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, you can always count on the Senate Republican leadership to take an issue that they’re actually winning on, and that would benefit future generations of Americans, and throw in the towel. Republicans have caved and agreed to spend an additional $1.2 trillion on infrastructure. While the politicians declare all things to be infrastructure in the name of bipartisanship, the actual backbone of our nation is crumbling. Marxism is pervasive and infects all aspects of American culture. Media types like Chuck Todd do the bidding of the American Marxists. Later, President Biden tells union workers that he never would have won without union support in a forgetful Pennsylvania speech. Also, Nancy Pelosi mumbles that Kevin McCarthy is a moron and she seems to base it on “science.”

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
You know, you can rely on Senate Republicans and Senate Republican leadership. To take an issue where they’re actually winning, to take an issue that. They’re on the correct side of. That can actually. Help save our finances in this country. And start to address inflation, that’s about to really whip our tuxes here. And to kind to throw in the towel in the name of bipartisanship. Did the Democrats act like they’re for bipartisanship, the language they use, the people they target? No, they’re trying to crush the Republican Party, so there’s no opposition. And then there’s this piece I’m reading. From Susan Fabrício and The Washington Examiner, a group of Senate negotiators. Said they had reached a final deal on one point two trillion dollar infrastructure package. Now, just think about this. Is the time now for another one point two trillion dollars when, you know, the Democrats want to spend three point five trillion on human infrastructure and on top of that, they have an explosive six trillion dollar budget behind that. Is this the time to pretend none of the rest of this is going on? We now have an agreement on the major issues, says Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican. We’re prepared to move forward now. This guy isn’t running for re-election. He was the head of OMB under George W. Bush. You’d think he’d know a little something about this, but he’s ready, he’s ready to leave. He wants to name some bridges after himself, I guess. I don’t know. But we you, the American people, you are going to suffer from this bipartisanship, they’re going to throw another one point two trillion dollars on the bonfire and then the Democrats win another nine point five trillion. On top of the two trillion they already spent six months ago, it was on top of that one point, whatever trillion that the Republicans spent. Lawmakers have been hammering out differences in an effort to reach a bipartisan accord for several weeks. Republicans blocked the debate on a framework measure last week, demanding more details and changes to the bill. Republicans said they were able to come to an agreement after working out their differences on broadband and water infrastructure. So, yeah, everybody’s got their hand into this. Everybody, I need this. I need this. We’re all back to that now. Doesn’t matter. Trillions, trillions. The American Marxists are on the move. They want to destroy our constitutional system. These Republicans, they just keep marching along like a bunch of buffoons. At least I have new bridges and tunnels and that will have human infrastructure, that’ll be great. A.K.A. Marxism. We’re still finalizing the details, but we have reached agreement on the major issues, said Susan Collins of Maine. Well, I’m glad she’s leading the charge. Democrats have not signaled their support for the deal yet, but Schumer has indicated he wants a bipartisan measure to advance and won’t adjourn the Senate for the summer recess until lawmakers can pass. And by the way, the Republicans are out there saying it pays for itself, it pays for itself. Nothing pays for itself, you idiot. As usual, the double counting, another Ponzi scheme. Democrats are planning to unilaterally consider a three point five trillion human infrastructure package later in the year. You notice how we regurgitate whatever words and narratives they create. We call it human infrastructure because they call it human infrastructure. Nobody uses phrases like human infrastructure or we’re taxing you for investments, we’re investing. Remember that under Clinton. We’re reimagining the police. What do you mean reimagine? We’re reimagining. Human infrastructure. They steal the language and the press regurgitates it. They’re planning to unilaterally consider a three point five trillion human infrastructure, quote unquote, package later in the year that would pay for free childcare, free community college, expanded health care subsidies and other programs. Yeah, and pay off debt. Oh, yeah. We got to take care of the colleges and universities, the breeding ground for Marxism. We got to do that. Sure. And the teachers unions. Yeah, they stand by us. They push their agenda, whether parents and kids like it or not. Now we’re going to watch carefully which Republicans vote for this, there’s going to be a hell of a lot of them. They don’t care about that debt, they don’t care about your kids. They don’t care about your grandkids. But don’t worry, you won’t be able to afford fishsticks, but you’ll have a brand new bridge followed by human infrastructure. What would we do without all the spending? How would we survive? How did we survive before? Meanwhile, they want to kill the economy a second time, two years running, put people out of business, subsidize people not to work, we’re doing exactly the wrong thing in every respect. Exactly the wrong thing in every respect, but don’t worry, we’re going to have a bipartisan infrastructure bill and the Republicans to go home and say, I voted for infrastructure, I shut the hell up. You know, the individual I blame for this, most of all, Mitch McConnell, he could put an end to this right now. I want ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. Yeah, he could put an end to this right now. But he supported bipartisanism ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. We are bankrupting your children and your grandchildren. We are brainwashing them with critical race theory, we’re overwhelming are our infrastructure systems, health care and so forth with illegal aliens. The constitutional construct is crumbling. Well, we’re going to have some running pants. Oh, yeah, I get it. But run, run, run all you want to. And so Washington is excited, the media, Washington makes me very sick, so we may have a bipartisan bill. Yay! Finally they put aside their differences yea because the Republicans are at it again. What do they stand for? It’s not good enough not to be them. You’ve got to have an agenda, you got to try and advance. You got to explain to the American people where you would take this country. The Democrat Party is the mouthpiece for these American Marxist movements. They are radicalized, they’re playing for keeps, whether it’s the courts or the Senate, whether it’s demography and demography and the and the border. I’m trying to say my my problem with my plan when I do McConnell. You get the point. And these guys want to spend money, sure, now they know coming right behind this is the human infrastructure bill, three point five trillion. It should be called the human destruction bill, not the human infrastructure bill. Hello. Hello. Communication director at the RNC. Do they even have one? Yeah, they’re probably at a cafe right now, a busy work work was hard today. It’s hard to capitulate. We should be able to destroy these Democrats in the next cycle, if we don’t, it’s going to be because of the Republican Party. If we don’t, it’s going to be because of the Republican Party, they’re just so foolish. They should draw the line in the sand. They should be speaking to the American people. They should have their message America. The Democrats are bankrupting us. That means your children and grandchildren cannot possibly succeed. Interest on the debt will be so massive it will gobble up about 40 percent of the budget in and of itself. Our entitlements are completely out of control and they want to create 27 new entitlements. So in addition to destroying our public schools, in addition to destroying our immigration system, in addition to attacking our constitutional system in the courts and trying to pack the Senate and all the rest, they are destroying the nation economically instead of, hey, peace in our time. I’m waving around. We got bipartisan. How we got bipartisan bill right here. BI partisan. Well, count me out. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
Well, we just learned and I want you to be the first to know, because you’ve done this in America, Marxism is number one on The New York Times hardcover, best seller nonfiction list for a second week in a row. Now, the irony of that is not lost on you, which is why we love doing this. So two weeks in a row, America Marxism is number one on the New York Times bestseller, hardcover, nonfiction book list. We don’t have the official numbers. They don’t put them out. Another company does and we’ll have those tomorrow. But the unofficial numbers from my publisher is that all formats in two weeks time, you’ve purchased 565 thousand copies of this book, which is truly astonishing. We want to keep the pressure on you. Notice how the media ignore this and pretend this hasn’t happened. Some conservative media picked up on it. Of course, we have some good friends out there. And I will be also mentioning maybe tomorrow, who knows? And thanking by name all the individuals on Fox who’ve who’ve had me on their programs. And I can’t name all the radio stations because they’re been scores of them. But I want to thank all the hosts, all the radio broadcasting companies, all the management. And so far, you’ve been absolutely terrific. We’re going to get the word out. I’m still working on this 20 hours a day, folks, and that’s the goal here. Statement by Donald J. Trump. Hard to believe our Senate Republicans are dealing with the radical left Democrats and making a so-called bipartisan bill on infrastructure with our negotiators headed up by super RINO. Matt, Mitt Romney. I mean, he’s right. On right on this will be a victory for the Biden administration and Democrats and will be heavily used in the 2022 election, it is a loser for America, a terrible deal. It makes the Republicans look weak, foolish and dumb. It shouldn’t be done. It sets an easy glide path for Democrats to get beyond what anyone thought was possible. And future legislation will be a continued destruction of our country. Our borders are horrible. Crime is at an all time high. Taxes and inflation are going way up and the economy is going way down. And now this don’t do it. Republicans, patriots will never forget. If this deal happens, lots of primaries will be coming your way. Now, I just saw this Mr. Producer sent this to me after I gave my comments. Donald Trump is more conservative and more right on than 99 percent of the Republicans on Capitol Hill. And ninety nine percent of those who write a national review. He really embraces this, and he’s 100 percent right, 100 percent right, makes no sense. It makes no sense and we know what’s coming behind this, we know what they’re trying to do, and now Biden is being pressured and he’ll give in, if he can, to unilaterally wipe out an enormous amount of money in college student debt. It’s not student debt. It’s college student debt. About 34 percent of people in this country graduate from college. That means two thirds do not. Now, those 34 percent earn more money than those who did not go to college. These are the statistics. And so those who didn’t go to college who earn less are now to subsidize those who went to college but didn’t pay their way. Moreover, you have people went to college who did pay their way and paid off their debt. They’re so busy throwing your money around and throwing the money yet earned of your children and grandchildren around all these anomalies, these injustices occur, it’s unbelievable. Nobody looks at the universities and colleges why their tuition is so high, why their expenses are so high. Nobody looks at them because why their propaganda mills for the Democrat Party and the American Marxists. That’s why no other entity gets away with this. None. Now, you and I are going to be subsidizing student loans. College student loans. I don’t know. Did they ask us when they took them out? How about mortgages? Shouldn’t we subsidize those interest on your mortgage? I mean, what is this? It’s unbelievable, really, how about people who need trucks to work? We take those loans over which loans arena, which loans are out, just incredible at the same time, they’re killing the golden goose that lays the golden eggs by smothering the goose with a mask. The idiocy that’s going on here is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Well. I will say this, they hope to have it out of whatever committee or whatever they’re doing by tonight, if not tomorrow, which means you and I will never have an opportunity to read this. It’s going to be some massive omnibus bill. And you better believe all kinds of pork is stuck in this bill with repeal because their hands in the in the cookie jar. Well, I have to represent my people to know you need to represent your people by voting against all this stuff. You can’t trust these people. They’ve already told you they’re going to spend another nine point five trillion dollars on top of this. You already see inflation going through the roof. Let me just say this, whoever votes for this, they too, like Biden and these various Marxists, they, too, are going to be responsible for inflation. They don’t get to make these votes and then whine about spending. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
I know you don’t listen to the show. Do you hear me regurgitate everything that’s been said earlier in the day. I don’t know what’s been said earlier in the day, but you get my point. I just do things a little differently. We’ve had a number of magnificent reviews. I want to thank everybody who’s written Taking the time out of their life to write a review for this book or a comment on America on Amazon.com. Professor Paul Kengor is an expert on communism. He’s an expert on the Cold War. He spent a lifetime studying this. He’s from Grove City and not at my request. He wrote a review that appeared today in The American Spectator. The American Spectator is an iconic publication in our website by one of the great conservatives really in modern times, Bob Terrel, and who has been so important in so many ways to so many people. But I want to give you a taste of what Professor Kengor said, given his unique position. And I and some of you believe me and some of you won’t, but I’m not reading this for the praise. I’m reading it for the analysis. OK. Go to Amazon and type in Mark Levin, American Marxism, and you’ll find the number one best selling book in the country with hundreds of reviews and mere weeks even more impressive, it’s rated four point nine out of five stars. Clearly, something is up. It’s not just Levin’s name as platform as he has. Huge radio show is Life, Liberty and Levin on the Fox News Channel or his previous bestsellers. What’s up is what Levin has tapped into with this particular book, American Marxism. What’s up is unfortunately, American Marxism. This is not American Marxism in the form that this nation long ago dealt with. This is not the American Marxism of the past century in the style and the standard of the former standard bearers Gus Hall, Alger Hiss, the Rosenbergs, the Hollywood Ten and so forth. No, that was really Soviet Marxism. Those guys and gals of Communist Party USA swore a literal loyalty oath to Stalin’s Soviet Union. Well, Mark Levin exposes in his book is truly American Marxism. That is Marxism in this nation today. This is a type of Marxism that heretofore has not existed elsewhere. That perversity we are witnessing is a distinctly American brand of Marxist thought. There genuinely is nothing like it anywhere in the world. It’s a uniquely American born and fashioned strain or strains of Marxism, which is what I’ve been trying to explain. It bizarre adaption apply particularly to race and gender. There has been an Americanized adaption of Marxism, writes Levin, which uses Marxist core precepts and contextualizes them to the American system in order to effectively overthrow the system. Levin’s great contribution is showing how, when, where and why. This certainly is not to suggest that he glides by the 20th or 19th centuries. Not at all. He takes the reader through Marx and Engels and Lenin and more. He brings in the likes of John doing Herbert Marcuse or in the positive, Eric Hoffer and Richard Weaver. Levin’s command of these figures and their ideas is what makes him so unique as an author and talk show host. Again, you can ignore this part. He’s a scholar. He’s very well read that reality is on display in all of his books, especially this one among those names. Particularly impressive is how Levin starts with Eric Hoffer, a brilliant thinker all too often forgotten, including among conservatives. Hoffer’s seven decades ago wrote a seminal book called The True Believer, which we’ve discussed here. The Nature of Mass Movements, which has, Levin notes, were movements of deeply flawed individuals with deeply flawed ideas. As Hoffer put it, not only does a mass movement depict the present as mean and miserable, it deliberately makes it so. And these movements breed contempt for the present that is, and always has been Marxism, including for the present which new American apostle’s breed contempt. They also attract the true believer, the fanatic who cannot be weaned away from his cause by an appeal to his reason, a moral sense that is wholly true. Marxism has no appeal to reason and moral sense. It’s pure sophistry. Only through brainwashing and indoctrination does this ridiculous ideology build gain any attraction among the easily duped, don’t it? And plainly stupid. As for the reason, as for the person of Karl Marx, Levin doesn’t simply rehash what we tend to focus on. Among the most important aspects of his treatment is to inform readers that Mark first and foremost was a journalist. He sure as heck wasn’t an economist. We might also call him a philosopher, of which he was even worse than an economist. Really didn’t matter much. What’s best to know about Marx, as Levin notes, is that he was wrong about almost everything. And yet Marx basic conceptual framework has been seized with reckless abandon by his destructive minions in America today, namely his painting of individuals into opposing groups that is, antagonistic groups drawing swords against one another and driven by hate, Levin writes. Marxism stresses classism over individualism. The individual is dehumanized and it’s nothing less, and it’s nothing unless he identifies with a group as the oppressed and victimized group. The individual is not an individual made into an imagine the imagine of God, rather the individual as a strictly material entity who belongs to a group, a Marxist. The group is defined according to class or economics in today’s America that is American Marxism. The group is defined according to race, gender, sexual orientation or some other dehumanizing and individual individualized cultural category, notes Levin. Quote, The individuals who make up opposing or nonconforming groups are collectively dehumanized. Condemned and loathed as the enemy, that’s notes Levin, is the trade of modern American Marxism, where he says it’s especially seductive to the malcontent. A disenchanted, disaffected and dissatisfied. These people find themselves pitted in the categories of oppressed versus oppressed by demagogues and propagandists and ideological hacks and breeding mobs that seek to make revolution and change America as it was envisioned. And Levin captured this most succinctly in his third chapter, Hate America, Inc. It’s difficult to try to adequately review a book like this in a couple of thousand words, but if I had to focus on one aspect in particular, that’s a must read. I have a call to readers attention. Chapter four, Racism, Gender ISM and Marxism. For this is most wholly and destructively where America Marxism manifests and rages. Today in that section, Levin Marshals’ a number of sources, including Jonathan Butcher, Michael Gonzalez of Heritage, great guy Tommaseo, Steve Kolinsky, Wyatt Walker, George Arlindo, all of them especially insightful on the subject of critical care theory. Lannoo, research professor of public policy and political science at the University of Maryland, describes CRT through two of its best selling proponents, Robin D’Angelo and Abraham Kennedy, who has, Levin has been noting at length on his radio show, are making a fortune, writing and speaking a Marxist based CRT. And as Levin writes, CRT begins with the presumption the race is the primary way to identify and analyze people and consequently posits a racial hierarchy that supposedly exists with whites on top and blacks at the bottom. Individual behaviors is insignificant because everyone in America functions within a society of systemic racism, structural racism and institutional racism. And within this system, whites must admit their culpability by confessing the advantages that so-called white supremacy confers on them. Is this boring, Mr. Producer. If it was, you wouldn’t tell me anyway, would you? Both the oppressors and oppressed must be made aware of their roles in this system. And to deny your role as oppressor, as a white person, it is to further your complicity in the oppression. Karl Marx and Marxism did the same based on class and economics with a proletariat versus the bourgeoisie, with the working class versus the land owning a capitalist class, etc. The groups are set against one another. They’re told that they are foes. And just like with classical Marxism, human nature and all of society are hammered into this new paradigm of human behavior. It’s an entirely new worldview and a way of perceiving people. It is literally revolutionary. And like Marx, writes Levin in one of the book’s most trenchant paragraphs, the critical race theory proponents deal in groups stereotypes and prejudices, whether talking about perpetrators are victims based on race, etc. Assumptions are made about individuals grounded on their physical, religious, ancestral and other characteristics. But human beings are more than racial beings, just that they are more than economic. Bings and the Marxist ideology preaches a monumental and deadly distortion of man’s nature. Individuals are complex and complicated, unique and spiritual. They’re influenced by innumerable events, circumstances, motivations, desires, interests, etc. of course, adds Levin. This is not to say that individuals in the larger society are unaffected by race. We know that such distinctions, but not to the exclusion of a not through the sole lens of a host of other human influences. Professor Kingara says precisely only a fool, a Marxist fool would try to refashion the centerpiece of all man’s humanity the Alpha and the Omega around something like Class for Karl Marx, a race for the Modern Society Advocate. What could be more demeaning? What could be so contrary to Judeo-Christian values. But that’s what Marxism does from its classical form to its modern American forms less children of God than products of class, race and gender. Here, Levin quotes the very worst of them Richard Delgado, Jesus, the Fantastic and Dear and D’Angelo, for whom race is everywhere in everything, as is racism. As the antidote to this dehumanizing world, you live in, quotes Dr. Walker, who was very close to representative excuse me, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.. And in his essay in 2015, when he wrote with Steve Glinski. Steve Kolinsky Walker stated today too many remedies, such as critical race theory, the increasingly fashionable postmarks as postmodernists approach that analyzes society is institutional group power structures, rather than on spiritual or one to one human level, are taking us in the wrong direction, separating even school children into explicit racial groups and emphasizing differences instead of similarities. Unlike Dr. King’s vision of judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, Walker’s views of civil rights were rightly based on religious values, humanism, not Marxism and critical race theory that roots of critical race theory are planted. An entirely different intellectual soil, Walker wrote, begins with blocks with each person assigned to an identity or economic block. As in Marxism. Yes, says Professor, as in Marxism, not as an Americanism. That’s what Mark Levin understands so well, especially given previous works of his, such as rediscovering Americanism. American Marxism is quintessentially un-American. The people in America professing this noxious junk may be Americans in terms of citizenship with all the rights and liberties and protections afforded there. But they are not Americans. The way the founders of this country envisioned America is less a place than an idea, said Ronald Reagan. It is indeed. The ideas of America as it was formed are the direct antithesis of the ideas of Karl Marx and his perverse heirs, who today pushed their insidious new forms of American Marxism, especially at our awful universities. And what Mark Levin shows, above all, is how un-American American Marxism really is. And then he says it is crucially important that the largest number of Americans read this book and learn about this pernicious threat facing them in their beloved country. Now, you’ll say some of you, this is self-serving. Know, what I’m trying to do here is say it’s not just me when you read this book, other reviewers and so forth and commenters on Amazon, they are embracing. They understand what’s taking place now. And a light bulb had to go off of my head, which is why I called it American Marxism. It wasn’t until three months before I had to turn the book in. And so this is the first book that literally calls it what it is. This is the first book that goes chapter and verse and proves this is what it is. This is the first book that spends time not only on scholarship, but tries to rally the American people to their own defense, an entire section on strategies and tactics because we choose liberty. I said it’s the most important book I’ve ever written. I know many of you are tired of hearing it, but I hope you read it if you need to get it at a library or something like that. That is great. Those of you who can afford it handed to somebody who can’t. We need to press this word. We need to make this as well known as Black Lives Matter and Antifa. The phrase American Marxism has a meaning. It’s here. It’s not going away. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
You know, it is fascinating that the attacks haven’t begun because they will begin. I predicted right now, but some of the questions that I’ve gotten from one press person, don’t you think you’re calling too many people Marxists? And you know what? They told me that he hadn’t read the book. I don’t go around calling people Marxists in the book, they go around calling themselves Marxists in the book. That’s why I quote them and have over 400 endnotes. I’m calling them what they say they are, I’m pointing out what they’re doing, what they say they’re doing, I point out what they say they’re going to do. I point out how other iconic figures are their intellectuals and their scholars on the activist side, not going around calling people names, some kind of pejorative way now. So I can tell immediately that the questioner hasn’t read the book, but instead it’s a knee jerk response to Marxism. But are you blaming me for. That’s who they are, and here’s their problem. They think this is like a Joe McCarthy moment where I go around calling people. That’s not what’s happening here. This is a substantive review of what’s taking place. I’m not a politician. I’m not on some committee. I’m not running for office, not seeking advantage. And that’s why for 16 months on the weekends, late at night, early in the morning, book after book after book, I labored over this and the original name of the book was not American Marxism. I didn’t have a name. I wanted to dig in and figure out what the hell’s going on. Now, some people say, wow, I always know was Marxism, you may have thought it, but you couldn’t prove it. And I think this is a seminal time that we must push back and we’re going to lose the country because we’re losing it now. I also think when I’m dead and gone, this will be considered the best book I ever wrote, not because it’s so brilliant or whatever. It was the book for The Times. And I can also tell by those even on quote unquote our side who are pretending it doesn’t exist. I can also tell based on that, that this has become a big deal. Chuck Todd, ladies and gentlemen, as you know, I have spent a lot of time exposing the fraud in the fall while he exposes himself very often and I don’t mean like Jeffrey Toobin, I understand he wears his pants. No, no, no, no, no, no. You’ll see what I mean when you come back. I’ve got a pretty good audio for you. We’ll be right back.
