On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, put yourself in Taiwan’s shoes, what would you do? What did another tiny country like Israel do? You stay on offense and don’t wait to react to an incoming attack. Ukraine’s military is way smaller than Russia’s and they are not equipped to retaliate if attacked. Perhaps, these little countries should attack smaller targets within their enemy’s larger territory and not wait for the slaughter of their people. Then, many immigrants reject Marxism. Whether it’s Hispanics or Asians an increasing number of immigrants are voting Republican and standing up against the tyranny of the left. These San Francisco patriots led a recall on school board members and won by an overwhelming margin. Later, why is the government of Canada imposing vaccine mandates on truckers when they’re being lifted in the most leftwing cities in America? What’s going on in Canada is the disintegration of freedom. Afterward, the CEO of YouTube says that they will implement the government’s laws on censoring speech online. Jen Psaki still won’t answer questions about the unauthorized surveillance (spying) of President Trump. Finally, Congressman Lee Zeldin calls in to discuss his campaign for Governor of New York.

Rough transcript of Hour 1

Hour 1 Segment 1

I have an article in front of me talking about how China and Taiwan from CNBC are looking at the situation in Russia and Ukraine. For those who don’t think the issue of Ukraine resonates throughout the rest of the world, it does. And so. I’m thinking about this. Put yourself in the shoes of the president of Taiwan or in the high heels. And you expect at some point. This massive country. Not too far from your shores. Because Taiwan was originally the island of Formosa, where the nationalists escaped as the communists took it over. Chiang Kai shek. What would you do? What would you do? And I thought about this tiny country, another tiny country. Called the state of Israel, what do they do? What do they do? Well, they don’t play defense and just take incoming left and right and left and right and left and right, the wars that they have fought suggest otherwise. If they’re attacked. As they were in the Yom Kippur War. They defend and then they go on offense. If they’re surrounded, then they’re going to be attacked, as in the 67 war, they go on offense first, they don’t wait to be attacked. And that’s the way you survive. The reason Putin has 150,000 troops, 500 tanks, equal number of aircraft, 40 naval battle ships of one form or another in the Crimea. And all the rest of it is because he knows Ukraine is not armed to defeat Russia. That Ukraine is a relatively new country. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was a country long before that, but I’m saying in modern times. So it doesn’t have a military capacity that Russia has. And successive presidents right up to and including Obama would not give them or sell to them. The kind of weaponry they need to defend themselves. And of course, I’ve talked multiple times about the 1994 nuclear pact. With Ukraine, Russia. Britain and the United States. And I’m sure Ukraine wishes it never did that. Because now they don’t have a really effective deterrence. What do you do if you’re these countries that are much smaller and outnumbered? Once he attacked. Singing about Taiwan in particular. Oh, I know, I’m just sitting here thinking it through, but the. The neo fraud’s. The claim that the. They’re just worried about the best interests of the United States, yet never, ever criticize Putin, have you noticed that? They don’t criticize Putin. They like Putin. There’s something about autocracy that’s in their blood. I don’t know what it is. Now, if I were the president of Taiwan, I would attacked the closest major city on the Chinese mainland rather than sit there and have my country bombarded and bombarded and bombarded with massive death tolls. I mean, Taiwan is 26 or so million people, it’s an advanced small country. It’s a country. Every bit as legitimate. As communist China, the mainland China is a country. It effectively, for all intents and purposes, was formed at the same time. Ukraine has not always been. An appendage of Russia. So why is it an appendage of Russia today? Well, Russia feels threatened well, we feel threatened from Mexico. Does that mean we attack Mexico and take over Mexico? Or how about that clown in Ottawa? In Canada. The world’s newest Marxist and totalitarian. Trudeau, Justin Trudeau. So Taiwan should prepare, in my view, not just for defensive attack, but for an all out attack on a major communist Chinese city, because that’s what they’re going to get in Taiwan. And if communist China and the people of China don’t feel. Any kind of response? Everybody are just lookers on, like there’s some kind of a car accident in Taiwan, then the result of Taiwan will be devastating, you might say, well, that’ll really piss off the communist Chinese. Doesn’t matter there. They’re already in the attack mode. It’s a little tougher for Ukraine, I was looking at a map. Moscow is not close. It’s about 700 miles away. I doubt they have a missile system that can reach Moscow. But there are other towns and cities that they can attack, but again, the problem there is most of this is land, not all of it, but most of it. And they have all but surrounded Ukraine except for the part. Of Ukraine on the west side that borders number of NATO countries. But you have to learn from these little countries. They strike out and they attack their enemies even when they’re outnumbered. I’m talking about Israel in particular. This is something that ought to be thought about and probably is, I hope. Not just waiting for Putin to decide when he will slaughter tens of thousands of Ukrainians, something the Russians do every century or so, 1932, they starve to death up to 10 million Ukrainians. Why doesn’t any of our business. God, let’s hope our allies don’t think that about the United States. What is it anyway? Our business. The level of stupidity is really quite remarkable. Then if you mentioned it, this could escalate to a nuclear war with Russia. No, it won’t. What’s with this Gabbert they keep bringing on Mr. Putin. Have you noticed that? This former Democrat candidate, the Democrat member of Congress, I guess, no longer are so not to be. Is she an expert on this stuff? She’s no more of an expert than I am that she fight while she was in the military, I was it, but so what? This is in Canada. I get the comment to. But some people who’ve served in the military are dead wrong. Or utterly misinformed. It’s watching another one of these colonels, they brought the cherry pick, Colonel. Who said we have to respect the fact that Russia has an area of influence to. Ukraine is an ally, we convinced them to give up their nuclear weapons, we’re supposed to respect a Russian invasion of Ukraine, respected, not just accept that respected. What kind of people are being brought on television and radio? It’s bizarre. It’s idiotic. We shall see. Today is Wednesday, the attack did not occur on Wednesday, at least not yet. And there’s no evidence whatsoever that Putin’s pulling back and why would he what’s to stop him? His new friend is all behind him. Germany. Wants nothing to do with it under their new radical left, Chancelor. The Eastern European states do not have enough power. That’s Poland, Hungary, among others, to stop them. There’s nothing to stop. If he had had fear of the president of the United States like he feared Donald Trump. If they felt Trump was unpredictable, in many ways, he was, which is a strong card, as Rick Grenell pointed out the other night. That would be good. But Biden is utterly predictable. He caved to the Islama Nazi regime in Tehran. He caved to the genocidal regime in Beijing. He caved to the fascistic regime in Moscow. He’s caved all of our enemies. Of course, he hates the Republicans more than all of them put together, but you get my point and they say it and they know it. Nine thousand American citizens still. In enemy territory in Afghanistan, and they’re still executing in the most horrific way, our allies who worked with us. That’s not that’s not over, ladies and gentlemen, just because our media aren’t covering it anymore. It’s still happening. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 2

Luis Gutierrez, the former congressman from Chicago. Remember him? Whatever happened to him? Well, he’s back. They dug him up. He’s on Melasti to day. How much longer can CNN and MSNBC survive? Does anybody know? Does anybody know, I think. No cable is getting weaker and weaker, but these two networks are really. Wasted carbon footprints and nobody I mean, effectively, nobody’s watching them, we have a nation of 330 million people. You know, they tout this morning Shmo show, which on a good day has a demo of 200000. Have many more homeless people than we have people watching. Scarbro and the Mrs.. Anyway, here is cutted areas, and when you listen to Gutierrez, you’re going to know. That even now, with massive illegal immigration, the borders wide open. People coming in from all over the world, not just. Central and South America. Well, God knows what intentions, God knows what kind of diseases or illnesses. That it’s not enough to Luis Gutierrez just on enough, why? Because Louise Gutierrez. Like so many others hate America. They hate, quote unquote, white people with, quote unquote, European heritage. It just is true. Just listen to them. Just listen to them. Read Media Matters, read media or don’t. Read The New York Times in The Washington Post. So they support critical race theory and lack crit and all the rest that I’ve written about extensively, here he is, cut three go. And so what we are saying is we’re happy you’re fighting for more covid-19 relief. But guess who’s dying in the meatpacking plants today? Guess who’s in jail, dying because of covid-19 and must be immigrants. Must be not Americans. Americans don’t do anything. American workers don’t do anything. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the newly minted immigrant who comes across the border. Gets immediate welfare, immediate, food stamps immediate. Lawyers. They’re the ones suffering in America, dying in the meat plants, don’t you see, which is why they’re coming in droves. We know this to be true because. Luis Gutierrez says, so go ahead. Twenty five thousand immigrants whose only crime is to come to America and pray for asylum, that’s why they call me. Excuse me, you moron. What do you mean, their only crime? They came into a nation illegally. Now, by the way, may I ask you a question, ladies and gentlemen, I’m quite serious about this, people coming into this country illegally. American citizens, American citizens aren’t even bothering them. We don’t have American citizen militia groups rounding up illegal aliens. So what is it what’s the problem? You see, we’re not going far enough, go ahead. Because they’re pleading for asylum, we say to the Hispanic Congressional Caucus, you can’t just say that whether you have to take those words and make actions, we’ll say, you remember, you’re a student of this movement. First, we use the Hispanic Congressional Caucus and we will force the Democrats and Democratic leadership to take action. And then when we couldn’t take action, we declared Barack Obama deporter in chief. We were arrested. We we. Wow. What a civil rights leader Luis Gutierrez has become. Ladies and gentlemen. What a civil rights leader, we’ve never seen anything like this before. Luis Gutierrez, civil rights leader. Fighting Barack Obama because Barack Obama wouldn’t open the borders big enough and fast enough, Biden won’t open the borders big enough and fast enough. Go ahead, immunity and you know something? Barack Obama changed he of all he did and became a champion of our immigrant community, but only use me excuse me, excuse me, dimwitted, I’m a champion of the immigrant community. I Mark Levin, I am a champion of the immigrant community, you come in here legally, he should be protected by the police who should have access to our schools. If you pay taxes on your way to citizenship legally under the system that’s in place, you should have all the rights and so far not have citizenship. But of somebody who’s moving in that direction, I’m the one who’s the who’s championed immigrants. Gutierrez is the one who’s championing illegal immigrants.

Hour 1 Segment 3

And this is the place, ladies and gentlemen. With a counter to the counterrevolution is headquartered. Right here, this is the place. American Marxism, one point three million copies, the number one book, nonfiction fiction for 2001, doesn’t matter if it’s ignored. By The Washington Post of The New York Times, even some of our friends in conservative media doesn’t matter if it’s ignored by NBC, ABC and CBS, doesn’t matter if it’s ignored by every single Sunday show in America. Because you don’t rely. On those outlets, not those platforms. For your knowledge and information and insight. We have different ways of communicating in this country now, which is why this format, conservative talk radio. And others are always under attack because, as in Canada, really started in the United States. They want to shut us down, whether it’s big tech, big media or just big mouths. You and I have been through this now every step of the way. Since this book came out. In July, but we’ve been talking about this book. Since April. Almost a year in the substance of it. And the substance of it almost a year. We’ve been talking about. Needing to organize, take on critical race theory, those people had no idea what critical race areas and I. And I salute to Chris Rufo and Mike Gonzalez and others who’ve been laboring in this field for some time. Brilliant man, brilliant scholars, patriots, but even so wasn’t resonating out there with the massive audience, with with parents, with taxpayers, the communities and neighborhoods. You did this. And it’s even reached San Francisco. Millions and millions of Americans watching what took place in the summer of 20-20. As American Marxism was on the move, burning down our cities. Attacking our cops, killing people, looting. Pulling down monuments to our founders, pulling down historical monuments to people we don’t even care about are like. Shutting down academic freedom, shutting down free speech, joined by the corporatists in one boardroom after another, we watched as Black Lives Matter and openly Marxist organization, an openly racist organization. Was receiving kudos from LeBron James in the ESPN host’s. Was receiving massive amounts of funds from one corporate board room after another. Their name was being painted in the streets in New York and Washington, D.C., in every major city in America. As they led this revolt, a violent revolt, and they weren’t alone, unlike the truckers in Canada. And who embrace them? The Democrat Party, who else embrace them, the likes of Mitt Romney. Never forget. They embrace Black Lives Matter and openly racist, anti-Semitic Marxist organization. Now the leadership is gone. Apparently, the funding is gone, numerous attorneys general in various states, including blue states, are trying to investigate and find out where that 90 million dollars went. The United States Justice Department and the so-called civil rights division are completely silent about it. Black communities across this country are wondering where the hell is black lives matter, given the the increase in murder taking place in these Democrats cities, now that the damage has been done to their police forces, to their health and their safety in these communities. They’ve left these folks to fend for themselves. As have the elites in sports. In corporate America, in the media, and, of course, in the Democrat Party, but the Democrat Party embraced every aspect of this. Their candidate, Biden, their candidate, Harris, they embraced it. Their governor has embraced it. They wouldn’t protect their states, they wouldn’t protect their cities. Their mayors led the charge that prosecutors led the charge. But the people in many respects, in many areas have had enough. When you turn on their children. When you’re teaching them perversity. That every faith. Known to man and woman rejects. When you’re teaching them to practice flat out perversity and immorality. At the youngest age possible, when you’re teaching them not to love thy neighbor, but they hate your neighbor based on their race, when you’re embracing Louis Farrakhan and pretending it’s scholarship, when a handful of race hustlers are making millions and millions of dollars with their books and their speeches, and they receive all kinds of notoriety from the likes of Oprah Winfrey. From the likes of CNN and MSNBC. When the most radical elements in this movement. Are given face time and air time. To push their agenda. On these various news outlets. When school boards are turned into indoctrination mills against their own families. Against the faith that these these various families embrace when they abandon teaching for indoctrination. Well, you can only push people so far. As I touched on yesterday. Very interesting. By and large, the Asian community, with significant exceptions, votes Democrat in our cities by and large. By and large, the Hispanic community has been voting Democrat. Democrat Party has been depending on this. This is why the borders have been open. This is why the welfare state has been massively expanded. This is the whole argument of white domination and so forth to try and rally disparate groups, ethnic groups, religious groups. And, Bill, this amalgam. This aggregation. Into a Democrat party. That is politically unstoppable, FDR started it. And so they all want to be FDR. But San Francisco, which has a significant Asian population, particularly Chinese. These folks believe in education, they’re being discriminated against by Harvard University. They’re being discriminated against by Yale, they’re being discriminated against by the Democrat Party, they’re being discriminated against because they’re smart as a group. Because they believe in education as a group. In Virginia. 54 percent of the Hispanic Americans who voted. Voted for Junkin, voted for the Republicans. Why? Well, there’s more to. But these are. People of faith, mostly Catholic. They don’t believe in abortion on demand funded by the taxpayer. They don’t believe in critical race theory in the white dominated society, they’ve come to the quote unquote, white dominant society to escape their own cultures and societies which aren’t white dominant but are crime laden. An impoverished. Now, what kind of a fool would leave a foreign country, leave generations of their families, come to the United States in order to burn down the United States? So they’re not buying. So far, what tenured professors are pushing. Onto students that have been born into this country. White students, black students, brown students, Asians to. They’re not buying it. They don’t support illegal immigration. Hispanic Americans. On the southern border with Mexico and Arizona. And Texas and New Mexico, they rejected. Because they care about their families, too, in their communities, too, and they don’t know who these people are anymore than white people. What if what? People were pouring over the border. Who the hell are these people? We don’t know who they are. All the prejudices. All the belief systems imposed on us about how people think and what they believe, and so there are lies. They’re all lies. Now, we looked at the voting patterns. And we know that in the past, Hispanics have voted overwhelmingly Democrat. Yet that appears to be changing, and you know what’s interesting, America, this is important, it’s not changing because of anything George W. Bush ever said about amnesty. It’s not changing because of anything that Lindsey Graham or Mitch McConnell have said about amnesty. It’s changing because these people. Second or third generation? Becoming part of the fabric of the nation. And they don’t embrace Marxism, which they escaped. Whether they’re Asian or Hispanic. They don’t embrace Marxism. Many of them escaped Marxism, whether it’s communist China, whether it’s what’s going on in Hong Kong. Whether it’s the various Marxist socialist regimes south of the border. Venezuela. Cuba, Bolivia, on and on. They know these are government Marxists created hellholes now economically. They know it. And so 54 percent. In Virginia, vote Republican. In spite of the RNC, in spite of Mitch McConnell. And it was the Asian community, among others, that rose up in San Francisco and threw out three radical America hating Marxist school board members because they said enough with a politics, enough with the ideology and not with a Marxism and changing the names of the schools and not for the perversity. Enough with a critical race theory. Teach our children. Substance, mathematics, science, chemistry, biology, real history, teach our children we’re paying for it and you’re abusing them. And these three board members were recalled with a yes vote by over 70 percent of those who voted in the city of San Francisco. They reject AOC, they reject Telle, they reject Omar. They reject Baker and Pressley. They reject the Marxist Stalinist Politburo within the Democratic Party, which is Marxist enough. Nancy Pelosi now is forced to look over her shoulder. Which is very painful given the number of face jobs, she said, but that is my opinion. Do I approve? No, but I’m happy to bring her on the program and ask her. But that but that said, it’s true. It’s difficult to turn your head when that happens. But you get the point. I listened, Collins, the president of the board, Gabriela Lopez and Olga Mollica. Three of the seven members were thrown out on their asses. San Francisco is probably, if not the one of the most radical left cities in America. Even the mayor had to go along with this. They’ve turned Union Square in San Francisco into human feces whole. Many of you have visited San Francisco. I’ve often said, no offense, I’m from Philadelphia, that San Francisco is our most beautiful city. You can’t say that anymore. The amount of carjackings, murder. Open thievery and burglary that’s taking place. Quote, The voters of this city have delivered a clear message that the school board must focus on the essentials of delivering a well-run school system above all else, said San Francisco Mayor London Brede, who supported the recall. San Francisco is a city that believes in the value of big ideas, but those ideas must be built on the foundation of a government that does the essentials well. She has moved. From a radical left position, she sees it, she sees. What American Marxism and these forces have done to her city, and at least she has that sense, the wake the hell up. Not so. And Philadelphia. My city. And so many others. Take the masks off, let the kids in school educate them. Is that too much to ask? Apparently it is. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 4

You know, I like to think I’m a very logical person, try to be. I’m not into chemistry, I don’t do the biology stuff, mathematics, you know, I got a calculator out of reasoning. Why is there a vaccine mandate on Truckers’? In Canada at all. One, vaccine mandates are being lifted in our most radical left cities in the United States here. I pointed this out last night, it was regurgitated today on television, but. You don’t even see Biden pushing for vaccine mandates anymore, you don’t see. Major corporations pushing for vaccine mandates anymore. He don’t even see mayors there lifting them, the clown governor of New Jersey, the clown mayor of D.C. and you can go on and on, they’re lifting mandates. So what’s going on in Canada? What’s going on in Canada? Is the disintegration of freedom. Which actually started in America two, three years ago. Forcing businesses to shut down, forcing churches and synagogues to shut down, sending the police out to shut down gymnasiums. Sending the police had to shut down restaurants. Hair parlours. They now you see, they’re concerned about all the people losing their jobs. No, they’re not. Do you think I destroyed Harold Ford Junior’s career, mr. You thought I might have last night when I said this guy seems like a very good guy. It’s not that I always agree with him. Sometimes I do shocking, but he seems like a very decent guy, the way he argues and so forth and so very likeable, don’t you think? I hope I haven’t destroyed him. That’s not my intent.
