On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, what you are seeing right now is the exposure of this Democrat left-wing power structure that are now under assault by President Trump and Elon Musk. Trump and Musk are challenging the Marxist influence in the U.S., particularly in the economy and government bureaucracy, revealing entrenched corruption. Democrats, along with media, academia, and government unions, are protecting a system that benefits them at the expense of the American public. This left-wing power structure is being exposed, characterized by the strategic use of unelected officials and judicial overreach to maintain control. We’re learning more about the rot of the federal government than we’ve ever known. $50-100 billion a year is being stolen out of the Social Security system. USAID wasted billions of left-wing pet projects. Trump is facing more criticism for attempting to address the waste, fraud, and abuse than those who were responsible for it. Trump aims to curb reckless spending, and the Democrats scream that we’re in a constitutional crisis. Those opposing waste, fraud, and abuse are supporting the waste, fraud, and abuse.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Before I get started, I’d like you to do me a favor. I’d like you to set your DVR or your smart TVs or whatever you use to record television to Life, Liberty and Levin, Saturday, 8 p.m. Eastern and Sunday 8 p.m. Eastern. I’d like you to lock those in on your TVs, your DVR. Why? Because the next series of programs are going to be essential to supporting what President Trump and Elon Musk are trying to do to save this republic and save this republic. They may. They may. So please go ahead and set your DVR as many of you are in your cars. You know, call your spouse or if you don’t have a spouse. Make a mental note. Many of you are at home maybe preparing dinner or something like that. Please go ahead. Go ahead and set it. Set your DVR or whatever. You use your smart TVs or recording devices so you don’t have to give it a second thought. And that way, when the weekend comes, you forget about it. You turn it right on. That is 8 p.m. Eastern on Saturday and Sunday. Life, Liberty and Levin on FOX. I encourage you to do this. I’m going to spend a lot of time digging in on this stuff. And as you know, Life, Liberty and Levin is certainly one of the smartest shows on TV. Not because of me, because of you, because I’m not going to dumbed down things for my audience. I’m not going to bring pro wrestlers in and add this scene, and I’m not doing any of that stuff. I’m not going to have a conga line of guests, only the best guests. And of course, the opening statement will be written by me, not by others, not by editors, not by ghostwriters, not that they are. I’m just saying in my case, they never are. And so I’m going to use my decades of experience, my years in the Reagan administration, my years studying the Constitution in the courts, which we have to deal with. Writing about the bureaucracy, spending, writing about Marxism, writing about all these things, talking about them with you for all these decades. We’re here for a reason, you and I. We’re alive for a reason, you and I. And this is our time. This is our day. This is what we live for. And the time has arrived. It’s here. You’re staring right at it. Good versus evil. Socialism versus capitalism. Marxism versus constitutionalism. It’s all happening right now in front of your eyes. And you made this possible because you elected Donald Trump. But without Donald Trump, this wouldn’t be going on. That’s how fundamental this is and this is it. This is our battle. This determines whether our children and our grandchildren and this nation survives and they live in freedom and prosperity or not. What Donald Trump and Elon Musk and their team are doing. They’re peeling the varnish, the thick, hundred years of varnish. Of what the so-called progressives, the Marxists, have been doing to our country, to our culture, to our economy. And they enshrined corruption and deceit and graft. That they’ve chiseled into the bureaucracy. Which is why they’re so desperately out there right now in unison. Using their same propaganda. These demagogues. Foul mouthed, urging people to take to the streets. This is their edifice. It’s not ours. This is their edifice. They build it, they own it. You fund it. And this edifice exists to advance their power, to advance their causes. Not for the betterment of the American people, not for the betterment of our country. And they’re defending it right now. They’re exposing themselves. They’re making it obvious to any citizen of this country who wants to watch, regardless of party, regardless of background. Anybody with two brain cells to rub together. They see. You see the Democrat Party, the Democrat leaders, the media. Academia. The government, unions, the people on the take. That is the people on the dole, that people get federal grants. They’re all in unison. They’re trying to defend what they’ve created for themselves. You’ll pay for this. They’re stealing from you. To put money in their own pockets, to put money behind their own politics, put that money behind their own surrogates, to put money behind their own ideology. This isn’t what the Constitution created. What you’re seeing. What you’re seeing is the exposure of this Democrat left wing power structure and cultural control. Better now under a sort. By a brave man, a courageous president who came to this, not out of a philosophical background, not out of the conservative movement or any movement. A patriotic American who loves his country, who loves his fellow countrymen. Who knows? He’s benefited massively from freedom in this country. Capitalism sees it’s under attack. Puts everything on the line. His business, his health, his welfare, his life. Nobody else has done this. Nobody. Nobody. His critics. These Lilliputians, these punks, they’ve achieved nothing. They’re no nothings. They don’t put anything on the line. They’re takers. And they demand more from you. From you. The left wing power structure and cultural control that has been preached for over 100 years. My intellectual wants communists and scholars. About how you take over the bureaucracy, how you create this unelected, massive government, how you make it so big, so overwhelming that it is literally impossible. Literally impossible to manage it because it manages you. How to use unelected judges. Woodrow Wilson talked about one of the early Marxists dressed up as a progressive change. He says, what come from the courts? So they’re using right now the unelected branches of the government. One that doesn’t even exist legitimately under the Constitution. A fourth branch, this massive bureaucracy that writes almost all the laws and regulations. And the courts, the activist activists, progressive leftist judges that Democrat presidents. Has spent a hundred years creating and populating in our courts the unelected judiciary, judicial tyranny, the unelected bureaucracy. An army of bureaucrats. There are unions. There are media. They’re trying to build a wall now, a wall around what they’ve created to protect it. They’re issuing judicial orders, unconstitutional orders. In my view, in most respects. Trying to sabotage even the. The uncovering. And what’s being done to you. You should be more than happy. You should be ecstatic that Donald Trump is in there, that Elon Musk is assisting them, and that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of others trying to get to the bottom of this and making it available to you like never before in modern history. We are learning more about the rat, the dark underside of the federal government than we’ve ever known. We knew a lot. We never knew this. And as the Democrats run to the microphones and say they’re attacking Social Security, they’re attacking this. Now, ladies and gentlemen, that can’t work again. 50 to $100 billion a year being stolen out of the Social Security system to help subsidize, in many regards the Democrat Party power structure. Illegal aliens. The entire project is now naked. For all of us to see. And you have judges who are trying to stop it, trying to stop it at the Treasury Department and trying to stop it elsewhere. Judges appointed by Obama. Judges appointed by Biden. Judges appointed by Clinton. One judge, a senior status judge in Washington, D.C., who hates Trump. Another judge in Seattle. All of them. As the Democrats, as the Democrat power structure, whether it’s their state attorneys general, whether it’s their their well-paid subsidized front groups, bringing these cases, cherry picking the cities, cherry picking the districts, desperately trying to get the right judges. And for the most part, they are. To try and put an end to this. To try and stop it before. Before you learn too much. Before it catches on like a wildfire. We the people are saying, give us our damn government back. Give us our Constitution back. Give us our money back. That you’re stealing from us. What you see taking place is truly revolutionary. And I mean this. What Donald Trump is doing is revolutionary. It’s extraordinary. It’s extraordinary. I’m a little concerned as a just a viewer, just like, you know, inside information. I’m watched him today. I listened to him yesterday on our show. He seems a little tired to me. Does it to you, Mr. Producer? I’ve never seen anything like this in three weeks. Management President for three weeks. The trajectory of economic socialism, the trajectory of cultural Marxism. The trajectory of political centralism. All of which are aimed at destroying all the barriers in the Constitution to prevent exactly what you see. That Donald Trump is exposing. The ruling class in Washington, D.C. Let me explain it again. This is not about populism. This is not about the middle class versus the elite. Last time I checked, Elon Musk is not in the middle class. It’s sophomoric to make these arguments. It is about the ruling class. That powerful. Using the tools of a government that’s almost unrecognizable. I guess we the people, regardless of our wealth or lack of wealth, regardless of our genitalia, regardless of our faith and everything else, it is the ruling class. Versus we the people. And you have a man, president of the United States is supposed to go along. He’s supposed to make the right noises. He’s supposed to make promises that he doesn’t keep. Maybe a little trimming of this. A little trimming of that. That’s not what’s happening. Donald Trump is a top the ruling class looking down and he’s saying this must not stand. This must not stand. And all the lords and all the nobles. That is the Democrat members of Congress, the media, their ilk, all the Lords and all the nobles of the ruling class. They expect the king, but they didn’t get a king. They got a patriot. Who’s now atop the ruling class and trying to dismantle and expose. What they’re doing. Do the people of the country. To the people, the country. Should the Democrats rely on? A phalanx of unelected judges, hysterical propaganda. Media sycophants and surrogates to build this this wall. As fast as they can around their project, their project that’s being threatened. Their project that took them 80 to 100 years to build. Their project, which is anti-American, which is unconstitutional. Their project. Now you know why they wanted to keep Donald Trump out of office and put him in prison. What you’ve learned. And it’s very upsetting. That the most corrupt and dishonest entity in America is the federal government. Not every federal employee, not every politician, but enough of them. The most corrupt and dishonest entity in America. Is the federal government. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
We’ve got a lot to get to today, and we’re going to need all 3 hours. Probably need more than that to really get to all of it. So very, very important. I want to remind many of you folks, many of you listen on the podcast, you go to Mark Levin, show dot com, click on Audio Rewind and select your favorite platform where you can search Mark Levin show on your favorite podcast platform if you already have one. It’s that simple. You can also find my full podcast and interviews and specials on YouTube. We have our own YouTube channel here, YouTube.com/@MarkLevinShow or just search Mark Levin show on YouTube. Probably easier. So you can hear this program all 3 hours, wherever you are, whenever you want, however you wish. That’s the great thing about technology. It’s a great thing about freedom of speech, isn’t it? Over at the Blaze, unraveling the deep state here, the most egregious things U.S. aid was doing with your money. By Candace Hathaway. Billions were wasted on pet projects, billions from ESG initiatives to ING so-called inclusion programs. Over the past several decades, billions of hard earned American taxpayer dollars have been funneled into leftwing initiatives around the globe through the United States Agency for International Development. We’re going to go through this. Then we’re going to go through what they’re doing to Social Security. And they haven’t even looked yet at the Education Department and how they’re abusing the money at the Defense Department. They’ve just started, which is why this entire ruling class is trying to smother them as fast as they can. But we’re going to be here and we’re going to fight alongside them. Be right back.

Segment 3
Just so happened to written about most of these things the most you’ve read about them. So this this entity the USA and it’s just one of a zillion established the blaze writes in 1961 it was intended to administer foreign aid and assistance to developing nations had since apparently become an on scrutinized black hole of waste, fraud and abuse over $40 billion a year. Donald Trump and his administration have set their sights on rooting out the federal government’s wasteful spending. The administration’s new Department of Government efficiency, led by Elon Musk, well, they began exposing this. And that’s why he’s under relentless attack. You need to support him. You need to support the president. You need to support these these warriors. Who could be doing anything they want. And I want you to think about it with all the attacks on billionaires. Many billionaires need to be ruthlessly exposed like the Soros’s of the word world and his ilk. But Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. And look what he’s doing is fighting for you, the average person. Donald Trump is the richest president in American history. Look what he’s doing. He’s fighting for you, the average person. So let’s take a look at this scandal list, D-r.i. The radical left agenda, which is basically a racist agenda, 45 million to diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma. Burma is a centralized military police state that’s an appendage to communist China. 45 million for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma. The Dodge Report that seven DTI related U.S. aid contracts valued at $375 million. In other words, still out there to spend had been canceled. They canceled it. 1.5 million to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities. 1.5 million An art for inclusion of people with disabilities. 19 million for two separate inclusion programs in Vietnam. 1.3 million to provide Arab and Jewish Israeli residents with a collaborative platform photography skills. The program offered participants mixed identity photography workshops. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Even at this agency, they don’t have it all yet. LGBT. 2 million for activity to strengthen Translate organizations to deliver gender affirming health care in Guatemala. This is your hard earned money. This is your money. 37.7 million to study HIV among sex workers, their clients and transgender people in South Africa. 7.9 million to teach Sri Lanka journalists about gender sensitive, gender sensitive reporting. You see, it’s the whole left wing Democrat agenda being. Subsidize with your your dog by the by the tune of billions. Overseas. 1.5 million upscale LGBT rights advocacy in Jamaica. There’s just a flavor. Then on climate 520 million for consultant driven consultants. Environmental, social, governmental investments in Africa. 2.5 million to build electric vehicle charging stations and other related infrastructure in Vietnam. How many electric vehicles they have in Vietnam? We don’t even build them in our own country charging stations. So the USA, Vietnam, Urban Energy Security Project, the agency has provided funding and technical assistance for innovative solutions that address urban energy and environmental issues. Nobody even knows what the hell they’re talking about. 1 million to assist disabled people in detection to become climate leaders. 24 million for a green transportation logistics program in the country. Georgia. Oh, and there’s more. Culture and educational propaganda. 20 million on one Simsim. A new Sesame Street show in Iraq. Continuing now, archive version of USAID’s website. The children’s series was designed to promote inclusion, mutual respect, understanding across ethnic, religious and sectarian groups in Iraq. 6 million for tourism in Egypt, according to the White House. Corporate media outlets were quick to fact check a press release linked by the Trump administration, arguing they didn’t mention that the funds would be used for tourism purposes. However, U.S. has invested 100 million in tax dollars that have either directly or indirectly boosted Egypt’s tourism, including an $8.6 million campaign in 2020. See, the media has no interest in any of this. No curiosity. They might as well give the media a bunch of pillows rather than notepads and everything so they can smother every story they don’t like. 1.2 million to construct a state of the art 440 seat auditorium 1.2 million for the African Methodist Episcopal Church Service, a development agency in Washington, D.C.. That’s amazing. Remember, this is supposed to be for foreign aid. 29 million to improve the skills of young and female Egyptians, the manufacturing and service sectors. 4.5 million to advance integrity and accountability in the information space I’m quoting, and build societal resilience in the face of disinformation in Kazakhstan. 6 million to transform digital spaces to reflect feminist democratic principles. 160 million to update payment systems in Afghanistan. We’re giving billions of dollars to this terrorist regime in Afghanistan. Doesn’t it make you throw up? It’s unbelievable. 1 million to a Hamas linked charity in Gaza. And I’m going to get the more of that later. Remember that a whole fool, that host on one of the Sunday shows attacking Haggerty. HAGERTY Senator Hagel. You don’t have any evidence that Hamas is being funded. It’s right there in the numbers. 15 million for condoms and oral contraceptives in Taliban controlled Afghanistan. Do you hear that? 4.67 million. The Eco Health Alliance, a research organization that funded the Wuhan lab linked to COVID 19 virus. Unbelievable. Tip of the iceberg, as I said. Now, we have already talked about billions of dollars. I’m not down three, not 30 million to fund alternative development projects that failed to deter farmers and drug traffickers from cultivating poppy plants in Afghanistan. The federal government gave hundreds of thousands of dollars of meals that went to an al Qaeda affiliated fighters in Syria. In November, report from the Washington Times where funding terrorists were funding terrorists. Margaret Brennan, she brings on the Jew hater, the American hater, Omar. Tell us how everybody anyone happened when you were in a refugee camp in Somalia with USA. Margaret, you’re going can have a show this Sunday talking about what I’m reading on the air here. Of course not. Why you’re fired a froni in a four. U.S. awarded $1.2 billion to undisclosed recipients. Undisclosed recipients. To provide context for U.S. aid spending. In fiscal year 2023, the agency managed a roughly $43.8 billion budget. Outside USA. The federal government also made questionable funding decisions through the State Department. And they go through that as well. And so the list goes on. What about Social Security? Rick Manning over town hall. 50 to $100 billion of it. Listen to me. All of you folks on Social Security about to go on Social Security. All your folks who pay into Social Security better pay attention to this. This is a program that’s already teetering because of all the illegal immigrants and others who are on this program. But money is being stolen out of this program hand over fist by the billions and billions. And the Democrats don’t want you to know about it. They don’t want. The Trump administration. I look into it. They don’t want anything to be done about it. 50 to 100 billion a year. That’s how much has already been identified by the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency. Dodge through a review of Treasury payments is likely fraught. Now there’s a judge that doesn’t want them looking at Treasury payments. Who’s trying to prevent them? A left wing Democrat judge. This amount is nothing more than identifying how much is paid monthly to recipients who don’t have a Social Security number or other government ID attached to their files. Which means. They’re getting money they’re not supposed to get. They don’t have a Social Security identification number or an account, and they’re getting 50 to $100 bills. This is just from a cursory look. Elon Musk has already estimated, based on work done to date, that there’s approximately $1 trillion in fraud, waste and abuse in the system. That can be identified and prevented. But the Democrats are standing on the side of $1,000,000,000,000 in fraud. They want their Social Security system ripped off. It’s a believable. Surprising, writes Manning, that the very systems that are in place to ostensibly prevent fraud founder failed to do so spectacularly. Where is Hakeem Jeffries? Where’s Nancy Pelosi? How long did they control the House of Representatives? Chuck Schumer? How come they’re not held to account? How come we don’t demand that these politicians, they keep spending our money and stealing it aren’t held to account? At least publicly. They get up there and they talk about how we are destroying this. They have destroyed it. They own it. They’re stealing from it. All these oversight committees. How are they doing? It’s what, two weeks time, really? Elon Musk and his team goes in. They’ve uncovered more than Congress has ever uncovered because the Democrats in particular, they don’t want to uncover it. They are building. What I told you. This wall. A Praetorian guard. A wall. To protect their fraud, to protect their edifice that they’ve created. That’s what they’re doing. The ruling class. This is the ruling class. And as recent Democrat led lawsuits have shown, these systems are run by longtime career bureaucrats who apparently have not been doing their jobs very well. The fact lawsuits are after a lawsuit is being filed to prevent employees of the White House directly appointed by the president access to the payment systems so they can see this reveals the lack of accountability which the nameless, faceless, highly compensated bureaucrats have traditionally enjoyed. And. They’re political benefactors. So why haven’t the U.S. House and Senate Appropriations Committees, what have they been doing in the past 20 years? It’s a good question. I’ll stay on it. So I keep digging because that’s what I do. That’s why I want you to set your DVR, your smart TV to Life, Liberty and Levin this weekend every weekend, really. But Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern. Sunday 8 p.m. Eastern. Folks, please do it. There’s information you need to have. You need to have. And I’m digging it out, baby, and I’m going to give it to you. As long as I’m allowed to have my platforms, God knows how long that’ll be. Seriously. But here we have from the Daily CALLER September of last year, not that long ago. Robert Shimmered. If current trends persist, the Biden-Harris administration will have made over $1 trillion in improper payments by the time Biden leaves office, according to a report released by the watchdog group. Open the books. Open the book. Where’s everybody been? The Democrats. On Capitol Hill. The trillion dollar. Ladies and gentlemen, if this were in the private sector, these people would be doing life terms in some federal prison. This is enshrined. Legalized graft. Hold on one second. I got something eight feet away. Stay right there. I want to read to you. I want to read to you this sentence again by Frederic Bastiat, who live from 1801 to 1849. He died at the age of 48. A French scholar, although he wasn’t always a scholar. This sentence. When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society over the course of time, they create for themselves a legal system. That authorizes it. Any moral code that glorifies it. You can see the Democrats, the media, others. This is their legal system. This is their moral code. It’s not ours. And then they claim that. Those of us who challenge it, we’re the ones challenging the Constitution. You see how it works. This is how it works of Marxists, fascists, propagandists, autocrats of all kind. They project onto us what they are and what they do. When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, writes Bastiat. Over the course of that time, they create for themselves a legal system. That authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. And so you see these activist, radical left wing judges or Trump hating judges. That’s what they’ve done. That’s what they’re doing now. We’ve got a lot more. We’ve got less than 3 hours now. We’ve got a lot more. Stick with me. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
This is our time, ladies and gentlemen. President seizing it, Muscat seizing it, his cabinet seizing it, and we need to seize it. This program and conservative talk radio generally more important than ever before. Life, liberty and in on the weekends, more important than ever before. I can assure you of this. Is now over. Again, I want to encourage you to set your DVR, your smart TVs at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday on FOX, 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday on Fox. Please don’t don’t procrastinate. Let’s do it while we still have free speech while I’m still on these various platforms. Thank. Thank the good Lord. Deeply blessed. I want to be able to convey information to you that you won’t get anywhere else. So it’s a very, very important. Now. We’re going to have a break at the top of the hour. And that how long, Mr. Producer? In in one minute. So I can’t get them really anything in that that amount of time. But I’m going to pick it up where I’ve left off here. There’s so much more to get into, including the Constitution. So you’re going to get the full array. Of what’s taking place, what we need to combat those who are trying to undermine this administration. These are the Cabinet secretaries, whether it’s Gabbert, whether it’s RFK. Now they’re trying to really go after Kash Patel again. Little Dick Durbin from Ohio, excuse me, from Illinois is out there. He’s committed perjury. Little Dick Durbin is a filthy, poisonous cancer on the body politic. He’s a bleeding hemorrhoid on the unaware. And so is a hammer erotic? As you know, that’s a bleeding hemorrhoid human being. He’s a hammer erotic. That’s what he is. A little Dick Durbin. Tons more when we come back. We’re just getting started. I’ll see you in a minute.
