On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, what have President Biden and Kamala Harris done right? What have they done to help the country? We are seeing the effects that Marxist policies don’t work. What are Kamala Harris’ proposals for the economy? For creating jobs? For getting inflation under control and growing the economy? They don’t exist. She has the pillow proposal – take it and smother it. It takes a while for Marxist policies to work its way through the economy and it’s kicking in now. Inflation will get worse and jobless claims will go up. If the stock market continues to crash, that means larger businesses must fire people, and those businesses contract, which means the economy will contract and inflation will continue to go up. Imagine all that brain power out of the workforce. To grow the economy and slow down inflation, you have to embrace capitalism – which the Democrats hate. Also, American military personnel have been wounded in an attack against a base in Iraq. Americans were attacked in Iraq by Iran. The Iran regime must be destroyed! What message is Biden and Harris sending to Iran when they hold back weapons from Israel? Harris will be responsible if a major war does break out in the Middle East. Afterward, Rep Jamie Raskin is saying that Trump is an illegitimate presidential candidate under the 14th Amendment and Congress will stop him from taking office even if he wins in November. He doesn’t care what voters or the Supreme Court has to say, he’s going to do what he wants. These are the Democrats who claim to defend democracy. Raskin is the insurrectionist. Finally, Rep Byron Donalds calls in to discuss his battle with George Stephanopoulos. Stephanopoulos only wanted to talk about Harris’ identity and January 6th, he didn’t have one question about the real issues challenging Americans.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Can somebody tell me anything Harris Biden have done right? Anything they’ve done that’s actually helped the country or their party, for that matter. Or their media, for that matter. CNBC, The Dow tumbles 1000 points. S&P 500 has worst day since 2022 and global market sell off and 2022. Harris and Biden were in charge. The stocks fell sharply, posting the worst day in nearly two years as worries over the health of the U.S. economy sparked a global market sell off. The Dow dropped 1,033.99 points, 2.6%. The Nasdaq. And why does this matter to you? We’ll get to that. The Nasdaq composite lost 3.43% and closed at number. Doesn’t matter. S&P 500 slid 3% all in one day. Now, keep in mind, that’s on top of Friday where they slid to fears of a U.S. recession where the main culprit for the global market meltdown after Friday’s disappointing July jobs report. Investors are also concerned the Federal Reserve is behind in cutting interest rates to bolster an economic slowdown. Here’s the problem. Did the Republicans spend too much? You bet they did. But the Democrats spent far more and they did it as the economy was coming out of the pandemic and growing jobs are being created. And he dumped this multi-trillion dollar debt, which they. Called the Inflation Reduction Act because they, like everything, is the opposite of what they say, which was a massive redistribution of wealth to extremist left wing groups, corporations pushing climate change and all the rest. It’s done nothing substantively, substantively for our economy. And now we have all this paper money, if you will, following goods and services. And so what happens is stagflation. I don’t care how many of these fools talk about recession, it’s stagflation. The economy is beginning to show cracks, but it has been for the average person. It’s been cracking for years now. Since Biden stepped in and Harris stepped in. It’s no joke. You can hear people talking about it all the time. I go to the grocery store. Every now and then. Not often anymore. I go to. Fast food restaurant. I hear people are saying they can’t believe it. You can’t blame corporate profits. Corporate profits are way off. Way off. And corporations made profits during the Trump administration, too. We never saw anything like this during the Trump administration. Look, Marxists last socialist policies do not work. They do not work. Killing the golden goose means there’s no golden eggs. When you wring its neck through taxes and regulations, it doesn’t produce for the economy. And constantly talking down the successful people, constantly talking down the market system, constantly attacking. Capitalism. By word and by deed. This is what you get. This is what you get. And it affects you know, they make it like, oh, if we only tax the rich, what do you think the rich put their money, for God’s sake. Do you think there’s a fund that only the rich can put their money in and therefore the rest of us are unaffected or affected? It doesn’t work that way. And rather than pushing for more success for more people, now they push for equity. You heard mumbles. Mumbles. That’s right. That’s your new name. Mumbles. Pushing for equity. Equity means nobody can be too successful. We all have to. And in the same place. That’s what she said. She’s such an idiot. That would be Kamala Harris. Anyway, and we have this. So the economy is a big concern. Tell me, what are what are Kamala Harris’s proposals for the economy? I challenge any host on any of these phony TV shows on MSNBC’s or CNN to call in. What are Kamala Harris’s proposals for creating jobs? What are her proposals for getting inflation under control? What are her proposals for growing the economy? What are they? What are they? Go on our website. Show me where they are. They don’t exist. She has no proposals for the economy except the choke at the death. Her proposal is what I’ve been calling the pillow proposal. Take it and smother it. She has no idea, but she’s an ideologue. So that’s what they fall back on, like Bernie Sanders or AOC or Talib. Look, it’s bad enough that they’re in Congress. We cannot tolerate one of these radical, vapid kooks in the office of the presidency. Nobody can. Black, white, brown, yellow, albino. Nobody can. Nobody. So this is the economy. Now. What about the border? The border is a disaster. They’ve destroyed the economy and they’ve destroyed the border. They can play a game. Not the borders are not. But you are the vice president. Of course you where the borders are. But you are the vice president, right? Right. Kamala. Surprise, surprise. New York Post. Team Biden has halted a program that flies migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua. While that saw Bernie Sanders pronounces it, he knows it’s commies in Venezuela and the United States. If the Department of Homeland Security uncovered ready massive fraud by the program’s applicants. Say what? Q Did anyone really think there wouldn’t be fraud? This is a program, mind you, that never got congressional authorization and violates laws already on the books, writes The Post. Yet despite the patently obvious likelihood of fraud, Biden and border czar Kamala Harris went ahead with it anyway, flying in nearly half a million people since October 2022. Remember, they did it secretly. Hmm. No review by DHS. The Citizenship and Immigration Services found that possibly tens of thousands of applicants from migrants sponsors, quote unquote, contained fraudulent information. The same addresses, for example, used by many of them fake Social Security numbers and zip codes, and even the same verbatim answers to questions. You know, one of the great horror stories that’s not reported on. Illegal aliens, legal and illegal, are coming into the country and they’re tapping into the Social Security system. They’re tapping into fake Social Security cards. They’re bankrupting the Social Security system. What did he say? Oh, it’s true. Hello Migrants Rights The Post. Have risked their lives making treacherous journeys through dangerous terrain and dealing with the most ruthless criminals, together resorting to fraud as a no brainer. Heck, even their asylum claims have been proven to be bogus when asked. Migrants openly admit they want to relocate to America not because they’ve been persecuted or their lives are in danger back home as required by asylum, but for better economic opportunities. Now that CIA has documented fraud and on a massive scale, the program has been frozen. Great. Anyone going to ask Kamala about this? Hmm. Anybody? Waste of time, too, as Joe, even if you could get a question to him. Wet, wet, wet. But Harris just keeps ducking because the media allow her to get away with this. Biden, Harris and company really that desperate to flood in as many people as fast as possible, allowing them to cut the line, overwhelm cities and flood Congress. If Team Biden thinks these people really deserve to be here, let them persuade lawmakers to create a legal pathway. And good luck with that. The refusal to do that is just one more reason they need to be replaced. So they’ve destroyed the economy and now it’s really going to you know, it takes a little while. With the decisions, the really horrendous decisions that are made by the Marxist Socialists to work their way through the economy, because the American economy is massive, it’s diverse. It’s got infinite tributaries. But finally it started to kick in and it’s kicking in now. Inflation is not going to come down. It’s going to get worse. Jobless claims are going to go up. You can hear today with the stock market. The reason it’s important that the stock market not crash. Is because of the stock market crashes. That means all these larger businesses hit the fire. Tons of people and their businesses are going to contract, firing tons of people. Businesses contracting means the American economy is going to contract, people are going to lose their jobs and inflation will continue to go up. That’s what’s happening. You can see it at the grocery store. You could see it at the gas pump. You can see it when you’re you’re trying to get now apartments to rent. You’re trying to purchase a home. You can see it everywhere. The price is just crazy. I’ll give you a perfect example. I went to Chick-Fil-A before I came here. I wanted to check it out because I wanted Chick fil A’s sandwich. Mr. Produce, just the sandwich. I didn’t get the fries. And a large Diet Coke. Almost $9. For just the sandwich. In the end, I don’t blame them. You know, they’re a pass through. It’s what they are. What happened? What happened is the Biden-Harris administration, the Democrat Party, and their Marxist socialist agenda. What happens is products and services become less available. Prices go up and the value of your money goes down. That’s what you’re facing. That’s what’s happening. All this talk well, the Fed was too slow. The Fed needs to be. I understand these monetarist. I’m not necessarily opposed to that. But on the fiscal side, the Congress side, it’s a disaster. And the Democrats don’t intend to do a damn thing about it. Why? They don’t care if the economy crashes. What happens if an economy crashes? All hell breaks loose. What happens when all hell breaks loose? More and more power to the central government. What happened when the pandemic. You lost many of your liberties. Some of them you still haven’t gotten back. And they’ll throw out things like the six foot rule. There is no science behind the six foot, six foot rule where the paper meant there was no science behind the paper mess. It didn’t matter where there was science, like little kids should be able to go to school because they’re the least the least endangered group, and yet they can build immunities to it. What did they do? They shut down the schools. This isn’t science. This is quackery, quackery. Marxism and socialism is quackery. The problem is it creates impoverishment, kills a lot of people. But it’s quackery. And that’s why. Kamala Harris cackles. Mr. Producer. Quack, quack. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
You know, it’s amazing that listen to the media how superficially you’ve been hearing that part of Silicon Valley’s kind of move towards Trump. I’m going to tell you why. This is from 16 hours ago. Intel. Intel is set to lay off more than 15,000 jobs, amounting to over 15% of its total workforce. What I mean, when the stock market plummets, it has impacts as part of a $10 billion cost reduction strategy aimed at 2025 CEO Pat Gelsinger. Gelsinger rather attributed these cuts to disappointing revenue growth and so forth. You know, many tech layoffs there have been in 2024. Up until July 1st, 100,000. Mr. Producer. 100,000. And think of the impact on these families. And it’s not just that. Look at the brainpower that’s out of the workforce. Look at the brainpower. We need to take on the communist Chinese, the Islamo Nazis in Tehran, and all the rest of them. Look at the brainpower that’s now sidelined. And this is. This is economics by the numbers. When the government is out of control, when centralized government makes decisions, when centralized bureaucrats and politicians are regulating the economy, when they keep saying that they deserve more money to redistribute so their power gets strong as opposed to the private sector. This is what you get economic dislocation. It happens every damn time. Of course, the media, their economic illiterates or their economic ideologues, so they will never explain it to you the way I’m explaining it to you. You’ve got to hate the French. Hate any. Why? Why should I hate the rich? What have they done to me? Nothing. Nothing. I hate the politicians. Who create nothing, develop nothing and steal from everybody. So Intel is going to cut 15,000 jobs. Its stock has dropped 20%. And Kamala Harris is blaming Donald Trump. Now, do you really want somebody who’s that much of an idiot? Is that much of a superficial political hack? She has no plan out there. I’ll tell you why. To grow the economy, you have to embrace capitalism to create jobs. You have to embrace capitalism. To bring down inflation, take authority from government to create debt, you have to rate capitalism success. Merritt thinks that the Democrats hate. And so they they throw away a myriad of arguments, propaganda, to shield their own ideology and their own actions. Oh, it’s corporate profits. Oh, it’s the rich. Oh, it’s Trump. Now it’s you. It’s you dumb bastards destroying a perfectly fine economy. Oh, this has just begun. We’ve been talking about this for years now. It’s been chipping away. Chipping away. We’ve been seeing it. We’ve talked about it. And here it is. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
Breaking news Reuters Several U.S. soldiers wounded in a rocket attack against the U.S. military airbase, Ain al-Assad in Iraq. Let me repeat. America was attacked moments ago at our own military base in Iraq. This is Iran. Iran runs Iraq. The question I have for you, America, are you sick and tired of watching us take incoming? Our men and women in uniform being killed and maimed. I know I am. What message are we sending to Iran? What message are we sending to Iran when we attack Israel? What message are we sending to Iran when we hold weapons from Israel? Israel is doing Israel spinning. Israel is doing our bidding. Israel is doing the West’s bidding, for God’s sakes. The Iranian regime needs to be destroyed. There it is right out front. That regime must be crushed. It’s destroyed the state of Lebanon. It’s taken the Gaza Strip and turn it into a terrorist center. It’s destroyed the state of Yemen. It’s aimed at Jordan. It wants to destroy Saudi Arabia. And it has surrounded Israel with surrogates, with terrorists, with armies of monsters. It’s armed it with the most sophisticated kind of weaponry that it’s getting from Russia as well as China. It’s working with North Korea against our little ally, Israel. That could be attacked at any time tonight or tomorrow or the next night. As we watched the Democrat Party give aid and comfort to the enemy, it. As we watch Biden and Harris get aid and comfort to the enemy. And the enemy is here right in the United States. 36 hours ago, there was a march for Hamas. Now Hezbollah. We have marches in our own streets from Hamas and Hezbollah. Terrorist organizations, Arab terrorists. Palestinian terrorists. How many are here? How are they getting here? How are they getting funded? Burning our flag. Burning a United States flag. Replacing it with the Palestinian flag. How did this happen in the last three or four years? We have faculty members at Ivy League colleges who spew terrorist propaganda. How did that happen? We have a report from the House Judiciary Committee, all but ignored by the media. That media is part of the reason titled Terror at Our Door How the Biden-Harris Administration Open Borders Policies Undermine National Security and Endanger Americans. The open borders policy of Biden and borders are Harris have allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter the United States, including terrorist organizations and other bad actors looking to harm Americans. And three and a half years, the Biden-Harris administration has released more than 5.4 million illegal aliens into the United States, with an additional 1.9 million known gateways escaping into the country, meaning we don’t know who 2 million people are. 2 million people. That’s the size of Philadelphia, for God’s sakes. Among those, more than 7.3 million illegal aliens are 375 illegal aliens on the U.S. government’s terrorist watch list. But when apprehended by Border Patrol under Biden’s and Harris’s watch, they’d been apprehended. But no one got away. They don’t know who got away. That’s more than 3,000% increase of watch listed alien encounters compared to all four years of Donald Trump. We’re supposed to sit here and give a crap about who Kamala Harris picks as her running mate. Oh, who will it be? Under the Biden-Harris administration of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watch list or encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal 2021 2023, DHS is released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others DHS custody, but not yet removed from the United States. Between fiscal 2021 and 2023, Border Patrol at the Southwest border encountered aliens on the terrorist watch list from 36 different countries, including. Places with an active terrorist presence. Afghanistan. Iraq. Lebanon. Mauritania. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Tajikistan. Turkey. Uzbekistan. Yemen. Oh, no, no, you. They just looking for a better life. So far this fiscal year, 2024, just so far this year. Border Patrol has encountered tens of thousands of illegal aliens nationwide from countries that could present national security risks. 2134 Afghan nationals. 33,347 Communist Chinese nationals. 541 Iranian nationals. 520 Syrian nationals. 3104 Uzbek nationals. Of the eight Tajik nationals with potential ISIS ties that ICE arrested in June. Three were released into the country after using the Biden-Harris administration’s one phone application to schedule an appointment. We have appointments set up. Appointments set up immigration judges granted bond to at least 27 aliens on the terrorist watch list who are encountered between ports of entry at the southwest border. Terrorists are secreting into our country, America. What’s Harris have to say about it? I wasn’t the border czar, and we have less illegal aliens than we had, you know. Are they kidding us? They’ve destroyed the economy. They’ve destroyed our border. There’s going to be hell to pay for this. Not by them, but by us. The consequences are what’s taken place. Will not be fully felt immediately. The plotting, the scheming, the strategizing against us and our country. We see it in the streets. You say to yourself, The hell are these people? Who the hell are these people in our streets with the swastikas, with the burning of the American flag, with the Palestinian flags supporting Hezbollah and Hamas? Who the hell are these people? How the hell did they get there? Well, now you know. It is an affirmative policy of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to let these people into our country. It’s not an accident. It’s purposeful. Did. We learned nothing from 911. Nothing. All the anniversaries. All the deaths. All the destruction. All the memories. Have we learned nothing? Apparently Biden and Harris have learned nothing, as a matter of fact. It is she in an infamous video that we played the audio of right on this program. It is she who has said. Really in the same paragraph. Not to use the words. Radical Islamist terrorism. And then she said, Do not use the words illegal alien. When you have mashed potatoes for a brain. And this is your priority. Who can use what words? When your priority is identity politics. And the hell we’re protecting your own country. This woman shouldn’t even be vice president, let alone running for president of the United States. I understand why the media are doing the biggest snow job. The biggest snow job since Castro said he was a small D Democrat. I understand why the media during the biggest snow job since they covered for Stalin in 1932 when he was slaughtering Ukrainians. I understand. That the media are doing the biggest snow job since they covered up for that Third Damn Reich. I got it. I understand that the media, during the biggest snow job since they used Hamas figures, Hamas propaganda, Hamas talking points against our friends and allies. The state of Israel. I got it. And the same media that lied to you and me day in and day out about Joe Biden’s mental capacity. The same media who are now protecting Kamala Harris and her mental capacity and her radical extremist agenda. The same media that George STEPHANOPOULOS who treat our friend Byron Donalds, who will be on an hour three when uttered. Disrespect and contempt. Don’t tell me that interview wasn’t racist. That’s right, little Georgie. With a population of Democrat radical hacks in our media. Don’t tell me. That these people care about the United States of America. They cared about the United States of America. They wouldn’t be who they are and they wouldn’t say what they say. There are terrorists roaming around in this country. They’re roaming around in this country right now. There’s not another country in the face of the earth that has an open border. Not one except ours. Why is that? Folks, you could ask this to a sixth grader and they would tell you why this is purposeful. The destruction of the United States of America, the destruction of our institutions, the Marxist, Islamist, racist efforts that are underway, they’re tearing this country apart and turning it inside out. That’s why I have no time for fat slobs like Chris Christie. None. Who showed up against even arrest. Mr. Minister. The Cape Cod or Cape May sperm whale. The Cape May sperm whales back trying to even score. As you know, he’s a Patsy’s and nothing. He’s a loser, he said. Donald Trump won’t debate her because she’s a he’s a coward or something that, hey, fat ass, may I call him fat ass? You know the word ass. I was told by Pastor Hagee the other day at the campfire that answers in the Bible. Did you know that, Mr.. But the word fat just as a modifier. So that fat ass. That’s right. In the Bible. Go check it. My own pastor, I call Pastor Hagee, my pastor. I love the man. Love him. Check it out. There he is all over TV. They have to have a wide angle lens. You know that? The special camera for him. What is he doing trying to get Kamala Harris? Like, why does a punk and this punk has never accepted a single invitation to come on this program? Not one. He’ll go. My buddy Hugh Hewitt is programming. You know, Hugh Hewitt is one of my buddies. He’s a rhino. He admits it. It’s okay. They’re rhinos. We need their votes still. He’s a good man, but he is a rhino. He’ll tell you that himself. Good man. That rhino. Nonetheless, he’s another one like Kamala Harris. He’ll only go where he’s wanted. He’ll only go and speak where when the clapping seals with the spinner popping out of their nostrils. That’s right. Come here. Come here. Chris, Waddle over here. I even gave this man an honorary award. I gave him a Nephew award, a Fatties United Award. Now, I have to admit, I withdrew it a few months ago, didn’t I, Mr. Bridges? Because he won’t show up. I want to give it to him over the mic in person. But there he is. Country’s gone to hell. Terrorists are coming across the border. People are struggling because of the decisions of a centralized politburo. We call it the Democrat Party. Our media has more in common with Pravda and Al Jazeera and state run media than it does with anything they. The framers of the Constitution had in mind. The Democrat Party is not a normal political party. It’s a normal autocratic party seeks to destroy the levers of power that stand in its way like the Constitution. And by the way, I notice there’s like 20. Maybe 20 of the worst kind of republics. You would hate every damn one of them. They’ve endorsed Kamala Harris. So the media is running with the media. No, this is a ridiculous list. The media know it’s 20 people. They’re tens of millions of people. But these 20 people, the media know they’re working with the campaign to make it like, oh, look at all these Republicans flipping. It’s not all these Republicans flipping. In fact, the Republicans are more united than ever before. Last time I saw this was Reagan. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
You know, there’s a lot of irrational exuberance on the side of on the Democratic side of the aisle right now, because there was despair at some period of time about what the November was going to look like. Now people feel like there’s a chance. But it is absolutely Trump’s race to lose right now. He is ahead and he is ahead most of the battleground states. Close. They could be won by either candidate, but there is a lot to be determined in the next, you know, 90 whatever days, 96 or whatever it is left. So, yeah, I think it’s a wide open race. But Trump has the advantage right now. And nobody should nobody should be. Nobody should be. Everybody should be sober about that on the Democratic side. And that’s David Axelrod. He’s actually the most sober of the analysts who want to know the truth because, you know, like him just saying is what he is giving a warning to the Democrats. He gave a warning to the Democrats about Biden. For the Democrat left wing side. He’s the most honest, I think, or certainly one of them. You know, he’s not like an MSNBC host. Our Jake TAPPER or Wolf BLITZER or Dana Bash or the other reindeer over there and the Constipated News Network. Let me put it to you this way quickly. As I said to you Friday. Billions of dollars in free, positive in-kind support from corporate media, fully behind Kamala Harris, billions of dollars tearing down J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. Plus, she’s raised hundreds of millions of dollars to do the same thing with paid ads and a conceal herself. It’s the candidate protection program. The Kennedy Protection program. But with all of this. She’s no runaway candidate here. She’s not way ahead in the popular vote. Killing Trump in one of these. Battleground states. The best she can do is get close or a little above or a little behind. With all of this behind her back, Mr. Producer trying to push her. There’s no juggernaut. Do you see any juggernaut? Now there’s a juggernaut in the media. They’re excited. There’s a juggernaut in Hollywood. They’re excited. We’re not sleeping with each other’s wives. You know how it is out there. But that said. There’s no juggernaut. If the Trump people run a careful, campaign focused campaign, stick to the policies, stick to the to the records, his record and their record. And keep pounding away. Pounding away. Pounding away. I think it’s a very positive situation. If we keep getting bogged down and. I don’t just mean race talk in trying to defend ourselves from them. And that needs to happen from time to time. But in the debates, you should see other people sending me stuff about. She’s really Indian. She’s not. What do I care? I don’t care. For God’s sakes, she’s a marxist socialist. It doesn’t matter. And let me tell a little secret doesn’t get her any votes either. Doesn’t get her any votes either. The identity. Politics is their game. It’s not our game. Our game is to reach out to people as people. Donald Trump has an outstanding record. I talked about it on Fox over the week. He has an outstanding work record in the black community. You don’t have to get into identity, but you can talk and in defense of yourself. And in taking the case against Harris on policy, compare the two records. Donald Trump has a better record in the black community than Obama. Excuse me. Then Obamacare. Barack Obama. Did you know that a better record in the black community and Biden and Harris still so ran on it. Expose it.
