On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, President Biden isn’t doing anything to stop the dictatorial nature of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau announced that truckers who donated to the Freedom Convoy should lose their trucking licenses. Then, Senator Mike Lee calls in to discuss how the US Senate tried to advance a bill ending vaccine mandates, but Democrats blocked it and it failed. Even deep blue states are rescinding their COVID mandates, but the Senate is not. Simply put, this is about power. Although the virus is waning, the Democrats want to maintain their control via mandates. Later, American’s are hard-pressed to defend Biden or the Democrats. While Democrats purport to stand for civil liberties their words run contrary to it. The Washington Post has made racist comments about the US Supreme Court’s only African American Justice. Afterward, Dr. Oz, a candidate for US Senate from Pennsylvania, joins the show. Oz says that COVID inspired him to run for office. Oz also mentioned that there are still shortages on treatments today and this must stop.

Rough transcript for Hour 1

Hour 1 Segment 1

By the way, I’ll be on Hannity on the Fox News Channel nine, thirty p.m. Eastern Time tonight, I haven’t been there in three or four weeks. Why? I didn’t feel like doing TV other than my own show. It’s that simple. All right, folks. And by the way, I’ll be on Bongino this Saturday, two of my best buddies and two good men. The course of the last several weeks, we’ve heard buffoonish commentators talk about how Russia amassing offensive military assets and personnel on the border with Ukraine was just a figment of our imagination, that this was just, you know, the administration trying to divert our attention. I am no fan of this administration. What happened in Afghanistan and even before that, what they were doing in Iran, what they did with this nuclear deal we had with the Russians and so forth and so on, how precipitate what you see and help motivate Putin and build his confidence that he could act without an effective U.S. military response, because there’s a hell of a lot he can do and very little we can do. Under the circumstances. And you’ll see these svengalis are buffoons and you should ignore them always when it comes to foreign policy. They now have another 7000 troops on the border. They added today. I mean, he wants overwhelming force. He wants to crush them as fast as possible. And the casualties are going to be massive. Now, how do we know this? Well, we can’t know for sure. But since one of the targets is Kevin or its we used to say Kiev. That’s a big deal. Kiev is one of the most populated cities in all of Europe. Obviously, the capital, the population center of Ukraine, but it’s one of the most populated centers in all of Europe. Genocide folks is not a good thing, slaughtering people is just not a good thing. And you really do need to look into your soul and into your own humanity, not some just saying this generally when you say why does this have anything to do with us? Well, Biden helped precipitate this. That’s why. I don’t blame the United States for this, it’s obviously Putin, but what we’re seeing in radio and television is very little criticism of Putin in some quarters of the Republican and Democrat Party. What’s that all about? And yet trashing the hell out of Trudeau, who deserves every syllable of it. Every syllable of it. Which is what I want to talk about right now. It’s not good enough to say we talked about this yesterday and the day before when our brothers and sisters who drive trucks and tow trucks and others are under attack, the people who’ve now donated to them are being outed by their own government and they’re under attack. When there are threats made about taking their children away, if you show up at a protest with your children, when there are threats made now to truck drivers, many of whom have dogs in their cabins with them or being told, well, you know, if we arrest you, we’re going to give your dogs away, you won’t have your dogs anymore. This government in Canada. Is a grotesque, tyrannical government that’s pushing every totalitarian lever that any totalitarian regime can. Short of torture and murder. And you see no complaints, no concerns at the highest levels of the Biden administration because they’re in on it. Our media do not believe in liberty, our media do not believe in due process, our media do not believe in any of these things. The media hate America as the Democrat Party hates America. In ever talk of America, they never talk up American principles, the founders, anything of the sort. I call them as I see them, folks. And I see very clearly. Justin Trudeau, as many of you know, I’m the cleanup hitter, so here I am in the Canadian House of Commons yesterday, you know, they find one slob somewhere in Ottawa or God knows where with a swastika or some slob with a flag or whatever, and then they paint and smear the entire movement. They do that in our country, too. They try to pull this on their Tea Party movement, you might recall. Meanwhile, they embrace every Marxist crackpot, whether they’re tenured professors, whether they’re phony journalists, whether they’re they’re rip off movements like Black Lives Matter, and I’ll get back to that. As you know, we’re the ones that pushed hard on how they are using their money, such as it is. Where’s the money? Where’s the leadership? We’ve been talking about this for a while now. And other people finally said, hey, where’s the money? Where’s the leadership? OK, got it. But listen to this, Justin Trudeau will actually listen to Melissa Lanzmann, Melissa Lanzmann as a member of parliament from the Conservative Party. She looks like she should be in the Liberal Party, you know. What does that mean, Mark looks like a hippie, but she’s not. So here’s Justin Trudeau and Justin Trudeau is all dressed up like he was a bank executive. Justin Trudeau would not be prime minister of Canada if his name weren’t Trudeau. Got one go hopeful vision for public life isn’t a naive dream, it could be a powerful force for change. If Canadians are to trust their government, their government needs to trust Canadians. Those are the words of the prime minister in 2015. These people very often misogynistic, racist women haters, science deniers, the fringe, same prime minister six years later as he fanned the flames of an unjustified national emergency. So, Mr Speaker, when did the prime minister lose his way? When did it happen? The Right Honourable Prime Minister. Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas, they can stand with people who wave. We choose to stand with Canadians who deserve to be able to get to their jobs, to be able to get their lives back. These illegal protests need to stop and they will be. I just want to remind the honourable members, including the Right Honourable Prime Minister, to use words that are not inflammatory in the House, and that’s for both sides. And by the way, which parties are appeasers to the genocide taking place now in communist China and their media, NBC, that hasn’t said a word about the report on skaters and to bargainers and skaters and all the rest of it, as if they’re in some chateau in France or Switzerland. When that very same country is rounded up millions of human beings and put them in death camps, in concentration camps. NBC with all of its resources there in communist China, not one word, can you imagine what they’re going to write about this 50 years from now, 30 years from now? But NBC doesn’t care, it’s seen the example of The New York Times didn’t hurt The New York Times, they cover up what Stalin did to the Ukrainians in 1932. It did hurt The New York Times to cover up what Hitler was doing to the Jews. Yes. And I’ll say it over and over again. So they figure, what the hell? NBC, we decide what the news is. Our colleagues are a bunch of lapdogs in these other press platforms. We all bark in the same tone. They’re not going to criticize us. And of course, they don’t. Member of Parliament Melissa Landsman struck back, cut to go speaker, I am a strong Jewish woman and a member of this House and a descendant of Holocaust survivors, and I have never made to it’s never been singled out and I have never been made to feel less, except for today when the prime minister accused me of standing with swastikas. I think he owes me an apology. I’d like an apology. And I think he owes an apology to all members of this House. He was asked three times. And he wouldn’t. Three times, because the level of anti-Semitism on the left, whether it’s America, whether it’s Canada, regardless of the so-called democratic countries, is growing. It’s growing in Germany, it’s growing in the full European units growing in our country. It’s growing in Canada. So it’s OK. It’s OK. Just don’t talk about any other minorities, the Jews. OK, so here we go again. Potentially. Now, David Lamarre, Canadian Justice Mynor on Canadian TV yesterday, has a message for Trump supporters. Three, go look, you’re just compared people who may have donated to this to the same people who are funding maybe a terrorist, I just want to be clear here, sir. This is really important. A lot of folks says, look, I just don’t like your vaccine mandates and I donate to this now. It’s illegal. Should I be worried that the bank can freeze my account? What’s your answer to that? Well, I think if you if you are a member of a protest movement who’s donating hundreds of thousands of dollars of millions of dollars to this kind of thing, then that’s not what he’s. That’s not what’s going on here, that people giving 20 bucks, 50 bucks, 100 bucks, five bucks, that’s where they’re going after. Go ahead. What if you’re a Canadian citizen who donated 500 bucks to it? Well, I think if you’re if you’re if you’re a tractor trailer owner whose employed has taken the truck and that has been sitting here in oil for three weeks, then perhaps you gave that person permission. You may now actually lose your truck license under this. And I think you ought to be worried in that circumstance. And I think that’s a very important to what we. They’re going to take your license away. They’re going to freeze and take over your bank accounts. In certain cases, they’re going to take your children away, in certain cases, they’re going to take your dog away. You wonder how tyranny spreads, how could people just sit back and watch this, people used to say about events of the past and dictatorships and Marxism and the rise of these regimes, how could it happen in such a free country? Remember the videos months ago in Canada where the Canadian royal mountain, whatever the hell they call them, remember how they were dragging preachers out of their churches? Remember the picture about a week ago, the video where they were taking an old man had to be in his 80s. To the Canadian royal mountain, whatever they are, remember, they had one each had an arm and were dragging him. You remember that? Take all black and white films from the old days. Now, Mr. Producer David Lamarre, Canadian justice minister, you want to see if he’ll come on this program? Tell him I’m just an old former chief of staff to an attorney general of the United States. We have a massive radio audience of over 14 million. Almost the population of Canada. Our reaches into Canada and all over the world podcast, satellite radio, Internet, what is it? Folks, we have eight million on our podcast now, the highest number ever for this program and the podcast is a rerun of this program. Very important to understand that. So we have eight million podcast. We have 14 and a half million radio, God knows what else out there on streamlining and so forth. So. We would like the Canadian justice minister to come on the program to have a discussion about this, and I’m quite serious. But this Trudeau administration is filled with people like this. And unfortunately, the clock yesterday did not allow me to give the fair hearing to Fashi. Chrystia Freeland, you know, they say they speak two languages in Canada. English and French, did you know this, particularly Montreal, Mr. Producer, did you know this? Maybe they should start speaking three languages, at least in the Liberal Party and in the government there. German, I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 2

Christina Freeland is the deputy prime minister. I believe she has the intelligence of Kamala Harris, just as Trudeau has the intelligence of Biden, even though he’s 812 years younger, but doesn’t much matter. And the media are in love with Trudeau as our media are in love with Biden and so this media of ours and theirs. I call it now American Provida. Provida represents in Russian the the information sources that the state puts out that the government puts out so-called news, but of course, it’s not news. To the to the people, to the public, and so they have a Canadian Provida and we have the American Provida, the same ilk, the same mindset, the same American Marxism. Did I mention you won’t be seeing the poster of American Marxism behind me anymore when I do my Sunday Fox show, did you notice? Did I mention that, Mr. Producer? Yes. And I guess one point three million sales is very frightening, but that said, that’s not why that posters there we talk about the issue, the subject matter, the principals. The whole notion of American Marxism, that’s what’s critical, but I want you to hear this lady excuse me, there’s birthing person when we return, because you’re going to see. The cold bloodedness. The cold bloodedness of their willingness, in fact, their excitement about using the powers of government in ways that they were never intended against their own citizens, that is citizens not of their party, and who will not back.

Hour 1 Segment 3

Senator Mike Lee is up for re-election, the great state of Utah, and he is absolutely an essential voice in the Senate. And we must do everything we can to make sure he returns their. And Mike, you don’t need to comment on this, but the Republican leadership in the Senate is doing everything it can to back candidates. And I’m not saying against Mike, who will back the Republican leadership in the Senate. And I’m sorry, I don’t I don’t go that way. Meanwhile, we had a very, very important and close vote in the United States Senate. Mike Lee has been leading the effort against these mandates. Mike, how are you, my friend, and tell us what took place. You know, Mark, I’m doing great a little disappointed tonight because we came very, very close. What happened tonight was the United States Senate had a chance to bring this illegal, immoral, unconstitutional vaccine mandates to an end, had the chance to withhold funding from their enforcement. This should have passed 100 zero. Why? Because the American people don’t want the American people don’t want that to defer to presidential medical orthodoxy in order to have the right to work. But it narrowly failed. It did pass 100 to one. It failed with a vote of forty six to forty seven. And it is really disappointing. This was a a minute 46 to 47 was a party line. It was party line, straight party line vote. Republicans present voted for it all. Democrats president voted against it, which is itself disappointing because Democrats ought to be able to see how immoral this is and how unpopular it is. I mean, look, this isn’t even a red state blue state issue anymore. You’ve got people like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, all these blue states are certain to drop their quaternion caloric restriction and cities understand it times over and cities and democratic cities. But the United States Senate, at least among the Democrats, remains ossified back in this world in which people imagine the statist health escape exists, in which people can work only if the government and the president in particular says that it’s OK. Now, let’s dig in a little bit, this a very smart audience, they’re very interested in the Constitution here. Under what authority, under the Constitution does a president have to dictate vaccine policy in every state, every city, every borough in the country? Does he? He has none. Mark, and there are zero reasons why he has no such authority. First of all, the federal government doesn’t have that authority. Congress can’t even arrogate to itself the power to authorize the president to do that. But even if it did and it doesn’t, it hasn’t done so here and so well that the president has just invented an authority that violates both federalism and separation of powers. He has no statutory authority, no constitutional business doing this. DEEPDALE The American people know that whether they’ve ever read the Constitution or not, they know that something’s dangerously wrong here. They know that there should never be telling them that they have to choose between sacrificing their ability to feed their children and getting an unwanted medical procedure. You know, this isn’t the first pandemic we’ve had, as everybody knows. Let me ask you this question, Senator Mike Lee. Has the Supreme Court ever ruled that the president has the power to compel people? Broadly speaking, to get vaccinations never ruled that way. No, no, never. You know, the closest thing that my Democratic colleagues defending President Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandates come to a point to instances in which local governments have required vaccines. States, states, states have general police powers, which means they have the power to enact legislation generally designed to protect health, safety and welfare. The federal government decidedly lacks those powers. You see, the founding fathers made a deliberate decision not to give those powers general police powers to the federal government because it was too dangerous. It would become too big, too insulated from the people. So with help them from Congress. So the only authority they can point to, the only Supreme Court rulings, they can point to deal with state authority, not federal. When you as a civil libertarian, as a constitutionalist, look at what’s taking place in Canada and quite frankly, look at what’s been taking place in our own country, as you just talked it out this evening on this issue. It really is frightening how quickly a parliamentary system or even a Republican system like ours folds under this kind of pressure because of the lack of strength of people to oppose it and because of the other party or people of this mindset being in positions of power and abusing that power. And this is why people like you go to the Senate floor, whether it relates to the Patriot Act or some that said, wait a minute, this can be abused. Oh, yeah, right. Sure. Well, I guess people now know. Yes. And I want to say this to you, Mike Lee. This massive omnibus bill they wanted to push through, they weren’t able to pass that six hundred dollar deal looks a lot bigger now when you look at Canada, where they wanted to monitor everybody’s bank accounts in order to see 600 bucks coming in. Six hundred bucks going out, that’s the problem. You give them an inch and they take a mile, correct? Absolutely. That is absolutely right. Look, freedom is fragile and freedom can easily be damaged by fascist impulses. I look at what’s happening in Canada. Those are those are the words of a fascist that you see coming out of Justin Trudeau and his office. And I don’t use that term lightly. I avoid using it. But the words that you’ve seen coming out of their mouths for the last few days are fascist. It’s dangerous. And my hat goes off. My heart goes out to those truckers who are bold enough to stand up to them. And we have to acknowledge the importance of pushing back when government starts to cross that line. Now, fortunately, we’re not in bad shape as they are up in Canada. We don’t have our president saying things that bold, but the vaccine mandates are unlawful. They are unconstitutional and they’re immoral. And we’ve got to push back on them hard. And we’re going to have another chance in just a few weeks and just three more weeks on the next spending bill. I expect. I like a good friend of mine. Sorry, go ahead, Mike, I want you to listen to this from the justice minister of Canada. Just listen to this cut three go look. You’re just compared people who may have donated to this to the same people who are funding may be a terrorist. I just want to be clear here, sir. This is really important. A lot of folks say, look, I just don’t like your vaccine mandates and I donate to this now. It’s illegal. Should I be worried that the bank can freeze my account? What’s your answer to that? Well, I think if you if you are a member of a pro Trump movement who is donating hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars to this kind of thing, then you are doing what if you’re a Canadian citizen who donated 500 bucks to it? Well, I think if you’re a if you’re a tractor trailer owner whose employer has taken the truck that has been sitting here in Idaho for three weeks, then perhaps you gave that person permission. You may now actually lose your truck under this. And I think you ought to be paid enough. And I think that’s a very important thing. Can you believe the level of tyranny and how quickly this has happened here? Senator Lee. Honestly, market, until the last few days, I wouldn’t have been able to believe it, but this is consistent with what I’m describing coming out of Canada. This is statism taken to its ultimate degree. This is this is fascism within our northern neighbor. And it’s unacceptable. I really am stunned that that’s happening up there. And I would imagine that what we’re seeing right now is just the tip of the iceberg with the Canadian truckers. I think it’s going to become about a whole lot more than just the truckers, you know, in our own country. Senator Lee, we used to praise our nurses. Then all of a sudden we’re firing nurses who don’t get vaccinated. People need to understand many of them have gotten this virus through their pandemic when we didn’t have vaccines and they have natural immunity. And we have our second Israeli study that says that’s 27 times more effective over the long run than any vaccine. And a lot of people in this country, because of the Omicron variant, have now natural immunity on the Omicron variant. Is not death causing the South Africans, not the Israelis not. And quite frankly, we know it. And Senator Lee. Have you noticed the lack of pushing for vaccines in this country from the White House on TV? You don’t hear a lot about it anymore. So this mandate in Canada and to the extent it’s mandated here, this isn’t about science. This is about power, isn’t it? Yes, it’s about power. And the more they exercise, the more they can exercise in the future. That’s why even as that is, the virus is waning. They’re refusing to relinquish the ring. They don’t want to give it up because they want to use this power. But this is dangerous. It’s like leaving. A loaded firearm around you have to exercise caution when handling these matters, we need to put out this flame before it causes additional harm. And so it is telling that even as that the virus is on the retreat, that the people administration, while refusing publicly to defend it or even to push it, they’re also refusing to let go of it. That begs the question why this march is why we have a constitution. And this is why it’s so important to have people running for federal office, whether they’re incumbents or challenges or newcomers or whatever, actively talking about constitutional issues when they run. It’s the only way we will know how they will behave in office and the only way we will know whether they were will abuse power against us. Mm hmm. One more for you, Senator. Here is Justin Trudeau in the Canadian House of Commons yesterday responding to one of the conservative members of parliament. First, she speaks Catalan go hopeful. Vision for public life isn’t a naive dream. It could be a powerful force for change. If Canadians are to trust their government, their government needs to trust Canadians. Those are the words of the prime minister in 2015. These people very often misogynistic, racist women haters, science deniers, the fringe, same prime minister six years later as he fanned the flames of an unjustified national emergency. So, Mr Speaker, when did the prime minister lose his way? When did it happen? The Right Honourable Prime Minister. Speaker, Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas, they can see people who wave swastikas. Senator, I don’t see a lot of truckers waving swastikas and the truckers have said we reject this. This isn’t who we are. This isn’t a we way. This general smearing of the truckers who were were celebrated two years ago in the middle of the pandemic as our nurses were celebrated, as our cops were celebrated three years ago, as others were celebrated going into the face of the of the virus without vaccines, without therapeutics, making sure we were fed and protected and and medicated and so forth. Now they’re the enemy, now the enemy. And she responds, one more time, Senator. This way, cut to go. Here I am, a strong Jewish woman and a member of this house and a descendant of Holocaust survivors. And I have never made to it’s never been singled out and I have never been made to feel less, except for today when the prime minister accused me of standing with swastikas. I think he owes me an apology. I’d like an apology. And I think he owes an apology to all members of this House. What do you make of all this, Senator? First of all, I’m thrilled that they’re pushing back on a trip that he got called on the carpet on this. This guy is abusing his power. He’s abusing the concept of what he’s accusing them of. And therefore, I don’t think the senators of everyone around him. But fortunately, he’s been called on the carpet. And, you know, this is the guy, remember, who repeatedly dressed in blackface in a really, really offensive way. This is not a super sensitive guy. He has not shown the same extreme courtesy that he demands everyone else show him he’s overreached this time. Look, bad things happen when we’re asked to trust the government and we’re skeptical of people. As my wife always says, you need to trust people and be skeptical of government when government tries to turn it around on you. That’s where bad things happen. All right, my friend, I appreciate you doing what you’re doing in the Senate and elsewhere, you are a voice of liberty. And and if people want to help you in Utah in your re-election, where do they go? They got a lead for Senate dotcom. And I can certainly use that help right now. I’ve got to get to primary challengers and an independent and a long line of Democrats lining up to vote against me. They don’t exactly appreciate my constitutional conservative vote the same way your listeners do. We’re going to win, but we need your help. And again, what is it? Lee for Senate took up pretty easy, Lee for Senate dotcom leave for Senate dotcom folks, I hope you’ll do everything you can to help this man in his re-election effort. There’s all kinds of dark money out there and it rarely backs our candidates. Take care of Senator. And thank you again. Thanks so much. Good to talk to you, Mark. All right. You too, Mike. We’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 4

Telling you we’re up against it and I will tell you this, to be on Life, Liberty and live in the Sun, brand new program, no football hopea law. Look, in eight p.m. Eastern Time on Fox, of course, you can also DVR it, very, very important show the entire hour. On the spy scandal, Hillary Clinton, what our government tried to do to candidate and then President Trump had to make a decision this year, Russia. It wasn’t easy, but I got to thinking our system from within is suffering hugely right now. And if I don’t get on TV and push this hard, it’s not going to happen. I’m also on Bongino has a fantastic show, unfiltered and unfiltered. On Saturday night. I’ll be on that program and I’m also on Hannity tonight. I wanted to get out as much as I can to hammer away on this stuff. Since we lit the fuse in the first place and my guests on Sunday, Pete Hegseth and he and I for the first half of the program, talk about what we uncovered and so forth in the second half, John Ratcliffe. And you’re going to be really fascinated by some of the things he has to say. But we go deep. We hope you’ll join us, not just another spy thing. This is the greatest. Listen to me. This is truly the greatest scandal in American history, the greatest scandal. And part of the great part of this scandal are the media cover ups in the media participation early on in these abuses of power. They are part of it. And never forget it. They are part of it. Why you may remember I wrote a book called American Marxism. I can’t put the posters up anymore, but you’ll know nobody can stop us. It’s a big deal for that hour flew by, at least from my perspective. I’ll see you in a few minutes. We’ll be right back.
