On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, it’s not indigenous people’s day, its Columbus Day and NBA coach Gregg Popovich says that Biden’s proclamation is appropriate because acknowledging Christopher Columbus is to acknowledge the new world genocide he presided over. Popovich likely got his erroneous information from communist Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” which was written to indoctrinate college students. Then, the first step to liquidate a people is to erase their history. That’s why the left teaches this propaganda in every institution they have commandeered since the beginning of the American Marxist takeover of this country. AG Merrick Garland’s memo targeting parents that protest critical race theory being taught at school meetings is proof that the conservative anti-Marxist movement is making an impact. Later, Texas and Florida now have COVID rates that continue to drop and Governors Abbott and DeSantis have done a great job tackling the surge of the delta variant. This is why red states are growing while blue states are losing population. Democrats want to impose national standards all over the country to eliminate free thinking Governors. Free states like Florida and Texas have no state income tax and Democrats hate that because it competes with their huge Washington iron fist spending plans. Afterward, Victor David Hanson joins the show to explain how Amazon claimed his book was out of stock when it wasn’t. Hanson explained that the relentless attack on the middle class and on the information they receive is part and parcel of why he wrote “The Dying Citizen” in the first place.

Rough Transcript for Hour 1

Hour 1 Segment 1

Happy Columbus Day. No, it’s not. Indigenous Americans say it’s Columbus Day. Columbus, what do we know about Columbus, Gregg Popovich, who’s a nut job and a basketball coach and not a very good one for the Antonio Spurs San Antonio. At a press conference on Friday on Christopher Columbus. You see, particularly in football and basketball, the no nothings seem to pretend that they know everything. Here he is, hat, tip, Rambo, cut to go. I think the proclamation was obviously appropriate and important, needed all those sorts of things, but. I’m a little confused about our city. And why it’s Indigenous Peoples Day, Columbus Day, Columbus. I mean, he initiated a new world genocide, that’s what he did. And beginning with him and what he set in motion, what followed meant the annihilation of every indigenous person in Hispaniola, which was Haiti and the Dominican Republic today. That’s what he did. He took slaves. He he mutilated, he murdered. And we’re going to say slash and honoring. Well, you know, I’m going to give the San Antonio Independent School District a little bit of credit because at least they added Indigenous Peoples Day along with it. And that’s a step in the right direction. But what the hell is Alamo Heights thinking? It’s Columbus Day. That’s why they’re off on Monday. You know, maybe there’s something I’m missing and I’m ignorant, but it makes me feel like they’re living in a phone booth and they’re educating our kids Columbus Day. And we’re going to honor that. And it’s it’s no knock on Italian Americans. That’s a silly argument. You know, it’s it’s like saying we should be proud of Hitler because we’re German. I mean, it makes no sense. It’s about Columbus. It’s not about Italian Americans. And so there are a lot of states that have come out and scratched the Columbus Day and made it Indigenous Peoples Day. But in our city, are we that backward that we have school districts that do that? I’m amazed. Just amazed. So where did you get his information from? Where did you get his information, probably from Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States. Howard Zinn has had enormous influence, particularly stupid ideological people. And he was a Marxist. He’s dead now, but he was a Marxist. And we know a student of history well, there’s a piece today. In. Where is this sorry, folks, issues and insights. Armando Seimone. The let me read this to you. The accusation, which often sounds more like insults than rational accusations about Columbus. Range from the gruesome claiming he chopped off Indians hands for not bringing gold or carrying out genocide, total fabrications to the infantile, ridiculing the fact that one of his ship sunk. He was not the captain of that particular ship and they were sailing in uncharted seas, abounding in hidden reefs to the stupid Democrat politicians and Native Americans, claiming that Columbus carried out genocide in North America, where he never set foot nor sail. Nonetheless, we can expect the usual posturing and sloganeering on Columbus Day, as you heard, by historically illiterate leftists and indigenous people, some of the latter being about as Native American as Elizabeth Warren. One should consult primary sources, preferably in the original Spanish and not in translations, his logbook book called The Capitulations Legal Documents, also known as the Book of Privileges, that contemporary biographies and especially Louis Castroville House Del Emirati Wiki Testamentary and others, both written by Frier Part Salame della Casas, who has every schoolchild in Spain and the Caribbean knows, was the apostle of the Indians for working indefatigably to protect the Indians from his fellow Spaniards. Telecasters never mentions Columbus committing any crimes, and alas, Cassus did not shrink from accusing anyone. On the contrary, mensches Columbus as a consul, as constantly protecting the natives from his crew and the settlers they explore often had trouble controlling the men under him because he was a foreigner and the Spaniards resented any foreigner ordering them. In fact, because he was a foreigner, some contemporary Spaniards even downplayed his discovery. On top of that, the natives were helpless, had gold nuggets and the women and men were completely naked. Picture the problem. Sometimes the accusations insult hurled at Columbus of events that occurred decades after he was dead, carried out by Spaniards who worked the natives to death after he was gone, to the point that, unlike the North and South American continents, no natives were left alive in any of the Caribbean islands. When he’s not directly accused of committing those acts, he’s accused of being responsible for them because of the discovery of the new world, which is like arguing that Henry Ford, responsible for all traffic accidents and the deaths from tank battles almost a century after Ford’s death. Furthermore, Spain was in a race with Portugal for finding a route to Asia to establish trade, Columbus’s expedition was seen as commercial voyage, which at the very least would hopefully pay for itself, if not actually be lucrative. The discovered islands where henceforth seen as trading posts and as a stepping stone to Asia. His first voyage cost relatively little compared to the massive expenditures of subsequent voyages whose supplies had to be sent because the climate and the land were not conducive to raising European crops. Additionally, hundreds died from yellow fever. Columbus itself was stricken. This explains the preoccupation with finding gold. Fortunately for Spain, Cuba and Hispaniola, it had gold. Something that has to be understood, which is counterintuitive to us, is that European monarchies were poor. Much of Europe’s mineral wealth had been sent east for spices, and the silver and gold mines of the continent had been long exhausted. The splendor and wealth that we associate with monarchies really begin to the 1400’s, partly as a result of discoveries of the massive presence of silver and gold in Central and South America. And additionally, it’s all defining the new world, according to Wooten’s The Invention of science, Columbus’ discovery of a new continent was a tectonic shift for European minds. Hitherto, it had been assumed by everyone that the ancient Romans, the Greeks had discovered everything that there was to know about anything. It came as a shock that there was an unknown antipodal continent with unknown people, animals, vegetation, geography and many discoveries awaited by anyone. Nowadays, it’s seen as fashionable to dismiss Columbus’s Promethean effort because the new world had already been discovered by the Vikings and the natives. But Hans Siloing clarified it best. And from dream to discovery, the important difference he mishicot between the discovery. Of course, the Vikings and Columbus, Columbus helped settle. That part of the world. The propaganda against Columbus has come primarily from Marxist that’s exemplified by Howard Zinn is a people’s history. The United States, any time that you see the word people’s in the title of a publication of Marxist, probably wrote in, Zinn was an admitted communist. And the purpose of his textbook, which is presently being used for indoctrination in American schools through the innocent sounding Zinn project, was to make gullible, naive students hate their country and motivate them to destroy it. It has succeeded and Christopher Columbus has been one of his victims. Nor is it alone in these efforts. Similar propaganda is found in the Huffington Post, The Guardian, The New Yorker and many, many other publications which have saturated the culture, all stating the same message, all written by smug, self-confident leftists with a colossal ignorance of history. One can also find examples on YouTube there, even briefly inserted in television programs The Sopranos, The Office, the good place like intellectual drive by shootings that illustrates how thoroughly saturated our society has become with leftist lies. Ultimately, the matter comes down to one question who do you trust more writers for Huffington Post and The Guardian who cannot even read Spanish or documents and historians writing at the time of Columbus and witnessed the events. Marxists have a long standing record of mutilating history for ideological purposes. In the first half of the century, Soviet historians claim that Russia had invented the car, the plane, the light bulb, soccer, baseball, SANTRY. In the comedy film The Mouse that roared, a group of ambassadors passed the time playing Monopoly. The Russian ambassador claims that they invented that game to. At any rate, the attack on Columbus is not an isolated incident. His statues have been vandalized or toppled, as have been the statues of Lincoln, Jefferson, Lee and many, many others. The falsification of Columbus history is not an isolated case either. Just look at the 16 19 project sites, simply one of the most obvious cases, not to mention the CRT movement. All these are actually attacks on America, on civilization. This is not hyperbole, the left to say so. Why perhaps Milan Kundera, a former resident of communist country, can best put it together. Quote, The first step in liquidating of people is to erase its memory, destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then if somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history, before long, that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it forget even faster, unquote. The question remains then, whether Americans will permit this sacrilege from what I have seen so far. Yes, they have already. Their only response to this outrage has been to whine. Armondo Sieman, a former trilingual native of Cuba, experiencing deja vu, a retired psychologist with a degree in history and an author of several books. Gregg Popovich. He’s not alone. This has been taught throughout our public school system, the government schools, throughout colleges and universities. Think of it this way is a prominent person. In American history, and of course, Columbus is very important to American history, he founded the The Continent. Ever celebrated? In our universities and our colleges and our public government schools anymore, are they ever celebrated? Are they all viciously attacked? They are all viciously attacked. Gregg Popovich is truly and always has been a truly dumb bastard. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 2

Ladies and gentlemen. Have you noticed the quiet counterrevolution to the counterrevolution that we have developed, you folks, millions of you? Have you noticed it reading American Marxism? Understanding critical race theory that gender is a movement, the degrowth climate change movement, understanding the threat that we face now. And the various actions that are being taken in communities and neighborhoods throughout the country. This is you. This is this program, this is American Marxism. When I started talking about American Marxism almost half a year ago, it’s that long ago, isn’t it, Mr. Producer. And I wrote it now. Wow. I can’t even think how a year and a half ago, more than that. And turned it in in April. We started talking about this April, May, June, July, August. It’s been seven months. In this movement that you and we have developed, we’ve done it almost under the radar. You can see our buddies on Fox, people elsewhere in radio talking about how parents are showing up at school board meetings. About how people are resisting so much of the various American Marxist movements that are taking place in this country, that’s didn’t just happen. You did this. You did it. The other commentators are exactly that, their commentators. My commentator, of course, I’m a commentator. Well, what if I also said I’m an activist and many of you are activists? Not all, but many. And so you’re making a huge difference in the country right now. This Merrick Garland memo, which could have been put out by the East German Stasi. Well, the Soviet KGB or what have you. Any totalitarian force. And police state. That’s in response to us, to you. To this book, to what we’re doing. Because they fear you, they fear your influence. They fear what you’re doing. Because you’re making a difference. Those of you who are showing up at school board meetings are making a difference. Those of you who are now confronting businesses and corporations, you’re making a difference. Those of you who go online and mock the Marxist left, you’re making a difference. Those of you who are rejecting completely what Biden and the Democrats are trying to do to this country. You’re making a huge difference. And you’re not all Republicans. Many, of course, you’re not all conservatives, many, of course. But you’re the most informed audience, you’re the most informed readers. And you know exactly what’s going on. So uncritical race there, he’s raised, you understand what that means when this gender is a movement is discussed, you know what that means, it’s attack on the nuclear family and so forth when climate change and the Green New Deal is brought up. You know, that’s the anticapitalist degrowth movement that it’s part of the Marxist movement. And I want to congratulate you. You get no credit, you get no notice whatsoever. But you are doing this. We are doing this together. This is exactly what I said. If we got over million American Marxism copies in the hands of people, this would be a movement. It’s under the radar. God bless each and every one of you. And I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 3

You know, as I listen and not a lot and watch and not a lot of cable shows and radio shows, I may catch son in the car. Maybe not. It’s interesting that you and I have been six months ahead on these issues, six months ahead. People on cable and talk radio weren’t talking about critical race theory eight months ago. They weren’t talking about gender ism eight months ago because they were too nervous. They thought they’d come under attack, which of course we do, but nonetheless. They weren’t talking about climate change and the Green New Deal is a degrowth movement in a war on capitalism. Some of them are still afraid to use the word Marxism, American Marxism. Which is really the true identity and nomenclature of what’s going on here. But I hope you’re proud of yourself. I hope you can take this in. I hope he can watch the influence you have. And I hope this spurs you on the more. Even if you’re just reading the book and talking about its substance, even if you’re just passing on the message, passing on the the arguments so we can confront these these forces, that is a big deal. That is a big deal. And you’re doing exactly that. And I can tell you very, very his hosts have read this book, but choose not to mention it, I don’t even care anymore. The point is. Look at what’s taking place here. You’re watch TV and you’ll see the race between. Terry McAuliffe in Junkin is very, very close. Which is no doubt absolutely true. Or you watch the TV and you’ll see the cratering poll numbers of Joe Biden, they should be cratering or you’ll watch the divisions within the Democrat Party between the the Marxists. And the Marxists, that is between the Trotskyites and the Stalinist. You see the numbers for the media cratering in terms of trust, and they should crater. This is you. This is you this is your influence, there’s millions of you listening to this program as I speak and you talk to other people, so there’s tens of millions of people. Tens of millions of people. Who are now involved in pushing back. Tens of millions of people. This should give you more resolve. Truly, I know the situation is dire. Everywhere I go, people come up to me, I got it. But we’re not rolling over. We’re not going to play dead. We’re not going to be in a fetal position. You’re not. You’re not. Now, this book, American Marxism, has a lot of answers, and I was thinking about what’s going on now with the attorney general, with the war on parents and taxpayers. Folks, we have these people on the run. If we didn’t have them on the run, this wouldn’t be happening. So I opened to American Marxism and I was paging through, I said, I know it’s senior, I know it’s in here. So just listen to this, if you will, and we’ll get on to other subjects in a moment. Critical race theory theorists and activists declare that not only is society incurably racist and white dominated, but there’s no point in attempting to assert or pursue your rights because such rights really are not rights at all. Why? Because they do not deliver the kind of Marxist egalitarianism in peoples paradise, quote unquote, demanded by the critical race movement. Indeed, rights are used, they argue, to uphold the white racial structure and deny minorities power. CRT activists like Marxist revolutionaries stick with this, here’s the point are intolerant of contrary arguments and challenges to their views. Therefore, free speech is particularly threatening to their cause. Got that? This is in the book. Although the focus is said to be on hate speech, which is a term applied to both obvious and offensive racial smears, as well as a broader political and philosophical disagreement, Krista Maskey, associate professor of communication at the University of Washington, Tacoma, explained Siete scholars have critiqued many of the assumptions that they believe constitute the ideology of the First Amendment, for example, instead of helping to achieve healthy and robust debate. The First Amendment actually serves to preserve the inequities of the status quo. This is why they’re attacking teachers excuse me, parents. This is why they’re attacking taxpayers. Anybody who goes to board meetings and doesn’t sit down and shut up. Because they believe the First Amendment actually serves to preserve the inequities of the status quo, there can be no such thing as an objective or a content neutral interpretation of law in general or of the First Amendment in particular. So the First Amendment exists, ladies and gentlemen, according to critical race theory, because white people put it in place. To protect white people and their dominance. Some speech should be viewed in terms of the harm it causes, rather than all speech being valued on the basis of it being speech, and there is no equality and freedom of speech, of freedom of speech is rejected. Debate is rejected. You got that? That’s why they call in the government. And so I point out for CRT advocates, counter speech, more speech in the marketplace of ideas are all poisoned by white dominance and privilege. And even if you’re black or Hispanic or Asian or what have your Indian and you object to CRT, you’re viewed as part of the white dominant culture. You’ve been colonized. Our minds have been colonized. So the First Amendment is nothing but a construct for the white dominated society and you people speaking up Aborigines way, I have a First Amendment right for the CRT fanatics. They would argue you’ve created this right for yourselves to perpetuate the white dominant culture. See how self-fulfilling this is, it’s a logical. So government authorities or, for example, their surrogates, big tech, the media, academia, are to be in the business of determining what speech is acceptable and what speech is not. Of course, for the Marxists and the ideologues, only one kind of speech is access acceptable. There’s. Hence, the demand for a campus speech codes the war on academic freedom and threats to intellectual diversity among faculty and students alike, and the demand for a federal and state criminal hate speech laws. I’m telling you, the book nails it. Obviously, the problem becomes the vagueness over breadth and overreach of such policies and laws and eventually governmental and governing authorities. Controlling speech, page 102. This is another example of the contradictions and hypocrisy of Marxism and here the CRT movement, and that they rail against the existing society while demanding that the government intervene to accomplish their ideological ends. I think that sums it up, doesn’t Mr. Bruce. Pages 100 to 102. That is exactly what’s taking place, exactly what’s taking place. More when I return

Hour 1 Segment 4

Weren’t Josh Hawley and Christopher Rufo great on Life, Liberty and Levin last night? They were terrific and I really enjoyed doing that show. I really love doing live TV. The Blaze TV network and of course. My number one love is different to my wife and family is, of course, radio, and in terms of my profession, I should say now I read you from American Marxism. And I want to play for you just a minute and a half. The final comments I made. Life, liberty and living in the ending monologue, which it’s only two minutes typically, or a minute and a half as this one was. And is completely ignored except by you. Because we are the highest rated news, what is opinion news show on Sunday night cable? Bar none. So you listen, you watch, and here we go, cut one go. What we’re talking about tonight, we’ve been talking about every Sunday and what’s been talked about every day is this American Marxism. That is what we’re confronting. I want to speak directly to the attorney general, Merrick Garland. You know, my grandfather fought it with in Guam. My great uncle fought Guadalcanal the age of 17. My father registered for the war in World War Two after we were attacked at Pearl Harbor. My family’s not alone. We have men and women in hellholes all over this world today fighting to defend us. Our First Amendment right, among other things, our bill of Rights, our Constitution. You think we’re going to roll over for you? You think this piece of garbage is going to stop us from expressing our constitutional rights? You want to talk about violence. Our parents are violent. Our parents aren’t violent. Our taxpayers aren’t violent. It’s your supporters who are violent. It’s Black Lives Matter. It’s antifa. It’s your mayors who attack our cops. It’s your governors who undermine our cops. It’s Joe Biden who allows to happen. What happened in Afghanistan or what’s happening on the border. You’re the party and ideology of violence where the party and ideology of the Constitution, you will not silence us, not one of us. We will express our constitutional rights. And there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Got that, Mr. Attorney General. So there you have it. There you have it, and that’s who we are. You know. I have in the past gone to different. Military burial sites. And you look at all the gravestones there. You look at all the gravestones and you think of. All the men and all the women who gave their lives for this country. For liberty. And then you start to read the Head Start. How old? Some of these men and women were. 18 years old, 19 years hard, 20, 21, 25, 27, so forth. They never got to live their lives. And they died for us so we could live in freedom. In this country with its history. With its traditions, with its customs, with its borders, with its economic system. All of which are under attack from within. Those young people who died for this country. And we’re stationed all over the world putting their lives on the line. They better understand what this nation’s about. Then the attorney general of the United States and the reprobates he surrounded himself with. We celebrate and honor. Those who. Well, undermine this nation. Those who tear the fabric of this nation. Those who degrade this nation. Many of whom are well-off, many of whom are famous, some of whom are infamous. We celebrate them when they’re politics, when they’re in sports, when they’re in broadcasting or Hollywood. They haven’t given a damn thing to this nation. All they do is take. They enjoy the liberty that they had nothing to do with. They enjoy the wealth. They contribute nothing. To the betterment or survival of this nation. And they sit back and they attack and they ruin, they burn and they trash mouth. This is why I have nothing but contempt. For so-called famous people or public people who’ve lived in the lap of luxury like no human beings before them. And then condemn this country as racist. As unequal. They don’t understand liberty, they don’t understand the system or they do and they don’t care. Because they want to be accepted at various social parties on certain radio and TV networks. The men and women who fought for this country. They don’t come from families of billionaires, some of them millionaires, but not most. The vast majority are hard working men and women, but they’ve just graduated from college or high school. And they love their country. And they love its history. When your parents go to school board meetings and you taxpayers, that’s who you’re defending. You’re defending here at home the enemy from against, the enemy from within. Whether it’s Arlington Cemetery or any cemetery crosses country. You’re standing up for those men and women. Who gave their lives? For this country. It’s the least we can do. Is to confront these school systems, to confront these corporations, to confront these politicians. To battle against their policy. These men and women who died serving us the least we can do is defend our own children. From this corrosion, this poison, from within this American Marxism. AOC has contributed nothing to this country. Pressley. The others, the cabal of Leninist Marxists in the Democrat Party, they’ve contributed absolutely nothing to this country. The vast majority of reporters at CNN and MSNBC, The New York Post, The New York Times and The Washington Post, the same damn thing. I’ll be right back.
