On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, Joe Biden acts as if Americans never had health insurance before Obamacare. Obamacare is not the gold standard of health coverage. Sadly, Obamacare has priced many people out of the market because the ACA law replaced existing plans with new plans with crushingly high premiums. Then, this is the most important election since the election following the civil war. Despite the failures of the Obama-Biden Administration, Biden still claims he has a plan to handle coronavirus. Later, Sen Kamala Harris is radical and has called for a national standard on the use of force with police. Harris never supported this as Attorney General but now she wants to take control away from the people in individual states and hand it over to the federal government. Afterward, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy calls in with an update on House races and the 2020 presidential election.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
Everywhere he goes, Joe Biden touts Obamacare. Joe Biden on the left and the Democrat Party. Want you to believe that without Obamacare, you’ll die, without Obamacare, you can’t get coverage without Obamacare, pre-existing conditions won’t be covered. They’re liars. What did we do before Obamacare? We had a much more robust insurance system with a lot more choices. Well, this is a person by the name of Christopher Briggs who decided to write a short article in The New York Post about his kid’s cancer and their experience with Obamacare. I’ve been listening to Joe Biden today, gives me a headache because he’s always yelling at the top of his lungs. And he keeps holding up Obamacare as the gold standard. And Briggs writes, Before Obamacare went into effect, the private market offered us a wide range of relatively inexpensive plans. Joe Biden has been running on an ad in which he says he can’t imagine what it would be like to have a child with cancer and no health coverage. I don’t have to imagine. How are they health reform championed by Biden when he served as President Barack Obama’s vice president? I live that reality every day. Twice over the past three years, Obamacare has had no plans to sell us that covers little girls ravaged by cancer recovering from that ordeal, and it might leave us floundering again in November 2015. My wife got the most dreadful call a parent can get. The doctor knew why our daughter Colette than two and a half years old, hadn’t been feeling well, bloodwork had revealed leukemia. Thanks to Obamacare, we were already in financial straits in 2014, the law had eliminated a great plan we had had for years. Before Obamacare went into effect, the private marketplace offers offered us a wide menu of relatively inexpensive plans that covered specialist care even out of state. Afterward, all that was left were increasingly costly plans with fewer benefits, premiums swelled in 2017, I took my family into the Obamacare marketplace to escape at least that crushing premiums. But things were about to get much worse than expensive in 2017, President Trump merely suggested scrapping massive Obamacare subsidies to insurance giants that only delivered lousy care at ever greater cost. So what do they do in response? Every insurer in Northern Virginia with a family plan pulled out for the following year. That is except one, but significant that they wouldn’t cover Collette at Inova Fairfax Hospital, the one hospital in the region with a pediatric cancer ward under Obamacare. Our daughter was effectively without coverage for cancer. Panicked, we call the politicians, the media and Signa, we retained an attorney, nothing changed, no full policy coverage from Cigna without options. I shut down part of my consulting business and started work at a French organization for its group Insurance and got saddled with monthly premiums far in excess of what we could afford. Thanks to the publicity and some strongarming, Cigna agreed to cover the hospital, but it was too late for us. Then for 2020, we purchased a better plan from Anthem, newly returned to the Obamacare marketplace. We thought we might be done with insurance crisis. Warner had helped him, by the way. How naive. In mid-March, with the novel coronavirus sweeping the country, Collette’s cancer doctors told decided that in two weeks. It would no longer cover her clinic. Once again, thanks to Obamacare, we were left without coverage for our daughter recovering from cancer. Perhaps the marketplace as a way to buy the Signa plan still for sale in our zip code? Nope. So like in 2017, we were forced to turn to Warner, to cover the clinic, at least for April one. Twenty twenty one after that. Who knows? Open enrollment for next year starts November one. I get big beg Senators Warner to gear up for another round of veiled threats to a private company to force one to cover us, perhaps President Trump could issue an executive order prohibiting the insurance companies from pulling out of the market midyear, leaving children stranded. But none of these is the right long term answer. We must repeal Obamacare and put into the hands of Americans real automatically renewable insurance products curated to individual needs. To many, Collette’s will suffer and possibly die waiting for the personal carve outs only a few of us can ever get away with. To solve the inherent instability of Obamacare, the state could just take over all medical facilities, it’s called single payer, but then we would all be at the mercy of the same government bureaucracy that has been working for years to slowly kill my daughter. That has taught us a lesson. Turns out there is a nightmare worse, the ones watching cancer brutalize one little one’s little girl. It’s having Obamacare’s Obama’s law, rather, which his vice president rightly claims as his own killer with the disease against her. Mr. Biden, you might try imaging, imagining, rather, what that feels like. He can’t get coverage because of Obamacare for his daughter. And before there was Obamacare, there were multiple policies that indeed covered her. Now, that’s a story that this gentleman wrote. A few days back in The New York Post, the fourth largest newspaper in America. And it’s utterly ignored. It’s certainly ignored by Biden, who keeps going out there trying to convince you. That Obamacare is some kind of a. Gold standard, when, in fact. It’s a crap standard. It’s enormously expensive because of all the levels, significant salaries you’re paying to bureaucrats and bureaucracies. And they keep saying, Trump, what’s your plan? Well, here’s my plan. Allow insurance companies. And allow new insurance companies to offer whatever they want. Cover preexisting needs as a condition of societal demand. But beyond that offer, whatever plan you choose. Because that would be covered. People with heart disease would be covered. And you can always have government intervention for that small percentage who can’t get care. But for the vast majority of Americans, they don’t need Obamacare. Obamacare, for many people is a killer. Joe Biden’s proud of Obamacare, the media will not explain what Obamacare is to most people. I remember when my kids lived in California, they had one planned Blue Cross Blue Shield that was in. If you had a particular disease or illness that fell outside their plan. You’d have to fight like this gentleman did for his daughter. It’s not covered, it’s not covered. If you have multiple plans, 10, 20, 30, 50 plans. My God, most of them will cover something that that Obamacare will not. I have a dear friend right now. Who needs a heart transplant? I grew up with this wonderful, wonderful fellow like a brother. Now he is a brother. We grew up together. He lost his mother at a very young age. And really, my parents took him under their wing. And he was my best friend, still is among my best friends. He needs a heart transplant. It’s not covered by his Obamacare insurance. And so they’re hoping. Come January, I think it is. I made my day wrong. That they can find another plant somewhere, somehow to cover it. Obamacare does not cover it. So all this talk about Obamacare. Obamacare is another failed government program, that’s what it is. And the Democrats want you to believe they have another program up their sleeve, more government, more bureaucracy, more taxes, more expense, and they’ll tell you, oh, but it’s free, it’ll cost you less. You’ll get to keep your doctors. How many more times are you going to let them lie to you? But that’s where Joe Biden is, that’s his plan to destroy Medicare by lowering the age to 60, allowing illegal immigrants into Medicare, using it as a public option for anybody who chooses the course, they’re going to choose Medicare. And so you’re going to have government run health care through the back door, all the private insurance plans will collapse. And all you people on Medicare today, you’ll just be another person on government run health care, despite the fact you’ve paid your entire life under that plan. You know who’s not paying into that plan? Joe Biden. I want to emphasize this on the Friday before Tuesday’s election, because, again, I watched Joe Biden today attacking the president on his taxes, lying that he only paid 750 dollars on taxes in that New York Times piece. Late into the article, deep into the article, it tells you he paid an alternative minimum tax of over 24 million dollars. That’s not 750 dollars. That’s 24 million dollars. But let me tell you what Joe Biden and Dr. Biden did in the last few years. Thanks to this Christopher Jacobs, who’s been banging the pots and pans, hoping somebody will listen since the vice president left government service in early 2017, the Bidens funneled their income from book royalties and speaking fees to two S. corporations sell to Corporate Corp. and Giacobbi Corporation. They paid themselves modest salaries through the corporations in which they paid full Social Security and Medicare taxes. So they paid for Social Security, Medicare taxes on the modest salaries they paid themselves. The Bidens took most of this book and speech income over 13 and a half million, not as wages, that is not a salary, but as profits from the two corporations taking that income as corporate profits rather than a salary, allow them to avoid paying payroll taxes on the thirteen point five million. The two point nine percent Medicare tax applies to all income, you have a point nine percent high income tax created by Section nine 015 of Obamacare applies to all wage income, over 200,000 for an individual, quarter of a million for a family. But taking their income as corporate profits rather than income, personal salary allowed the Bidens to avoid paying this combined three-point-eight percent payroll tax on more than 13 and a half million dollars in income they received from 2017 through 2019. So they avoid paying Medicare and Obamacare taxes over that period of time, totaling 530,000, 540 dollars over half a million dollars. Biden’s out there talking about. How Trump wants to destroy Medicare and Social Security and how Obamacare is so magnificent, he didn’t pay into Medicare and he didn’t pay into Obamacare. And I want you to know that. And the media not. Covering this and nobody brings this up on broadcast radio, Bumi and broadcast television, but me, this isn’t a putdown of anybody. It’s just very troubling to me. I get emails all day long, texts all day long, hey, did you see what happened to this group? Hey, do you see what Twitter did to that group? I am on air five hours. Five hours and 40 more minutes before the election. And I’m supposed to run down rabbit holes. I bring up something that’s happening in some distant country when the goal here is to make it crystal clear the stark differences between Biden and Trump and get as many people out to vote as possible. This should trouble you greatly that Biden talks about Obamacare, that Obamacare is a disaster for millions of Americans. That he doesn’t even pay his taxes under Obamacare, nothing. And. That he says pre-existing conditions won’t be covered otherwise. When every state in the Union or virtually every state in the Union required pre-existing conditions to be covered by the insurance companies that they licensed, I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
Millions of people lost their health care under Obamacare and millions of people had their premiums and deductibles go sky high, and Biden cited again lying through his teeth. Here he is yesterday in Tampa, Florida. Cotinine go. Donald Trump thinks health care is a privilege. I think it’s your right. If we all get out, the vote will not only restore Obamacare, will strengthen and build on it so you can keep your private insurance if you like it, and you can choose a Medicare like option if you don’t. So, see, this is what I’m saying. We heard this before. He’s a liar. They will say anything to get elected. They will say anything to steal your private insurance. They have made a mess of insurance. There really is no so-called private insurance anymore. The government controls everything. Obamacare is a disaster, it’s enormously expensive to administer, it doesn’t cover a lot of the needs that people have. There’s almost no choices and a significant number of states, the premiums are through the roof, the deductibles are through the roof. And no, you can’t choose your own doctor and now you’re starting to see rationing. It’s getting longer and longer period of time to see a specialist, isn’t it? It’s only going to get worse. So their answer, more government. It’s always their answer. They’re never circumspect. They never say, you know, maybe we ought to rethink this now more government and they’re going to destroy Medicare, too. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
You know, think about Biden. Early in his career, he was tied. To Southern racists and segregationist proudly song. And that’s for many years. Then he was a law and order guy who sponsored the 1994 crime bill with extremely high sentencing. For people who are using crack and marijuana and so forth. His running mate, Kamala Harris. Was infamous as D.A. and attorney general in California for prosecuting those crimes, people with marijuana and prosecuting mostly blacks. She doesn’t talk about that it took the vice president to bring that up. And so they like to paint Donald Trump as some kind of racist. They have nothing they can point to, so they concoct this Charlottesville nonsense. And I’m not going to go through it again where they try and claim that he supported the Klan and the neo-Nazis. It is a smear campaign. It is disgusting when, in fact. The Democrat Party is the party of the Klan and always has been. And Joe Biden was a little late, a little late to reject all that, I don’t mean the Klan, I mean the segregationist language. I don’t know. I was never a friend with a racist or a segregationist for you, Mr. Producer. So he gets a pass. Then he runs for president in 1988. He runs 10 years later. He runs as a moderate. Now he’s he needs the nomination, he moves hard left. He wants to ban fracking and fossil fuels. He wants to destroy what’s left of Medicare. They want open borders, illegal aliens should get free health care. Imagine what that’s going to do to health care, your doctor’s office, the ability to get operations on a timely basis, it all utterly and completely destroy our society. Everyone knows that. Everybody. There’s not enough money in this country to pay for the world to come into this country and get free. Cardiology care and neurosurgery, or you name it, it’s ridiculous, but that’s what they’re talking about. They want to eliminate any ability for poor kids in the inner cities to have school options. It’s right in their platform 110 page manifesto because they need to pay off the teachers unions. And they’re going to shut down assembly lines, they’re going to shut down American corporations, they’re going to use while we’re not 100 percent. No. Carbon dioxide, zero carbon dioxide, which is impossible. Let’s we all commit suicide, I mean, we breathe out carbon dioxide. These are their plans, and so he gets the nomination and then he tries to create more confusion and this is basically the Biden career, I don’t know. All right, let’s look at me. I wish my life. As he screams at the top of his lungs like a man who’s drunk almost. Slurring his words, mangling his language. I mean, I’m not a. I’ve never been a socialist, nothing. I want to say I’m not partisan. And yet there 110 page manifesto is all Bernie Sanders. That’s all Bernie Sanders. And you keep seeing articles like this, this was in The Daily Beast, which is a left wing rag, but nonetheless, progressives ready to push Biden leftward immediately. Elected leftists and leftists throughout academia and leftists throughout these special interest groups and ethnic groups and so forth have been plotting now for months. They’re going to push Biden hard, Marxist left. Biden likely will go hard Marxist left, but if he doesn’t go, they intend to destroy him. And they will be the ones who use the 25th Amendment and do whatever they can, because Kamala Harris is, if anything. She’ll walk over broken glass to become president, the United States to get more power. I think that’s what Willie Brown was trying to tell people. She’s power hungry. The word on the street is it’s definitely going to start immediately, the progressive push, a former senior adviser to Senator Bernie Sanders said in an interview. Most people are putting on the good face to vote Trump out. But make no mistake, the current power structure on the Democrat side should take no comfort that the main reason why Biden may be elected president, the United States of America is mostly anti Trump. And then they go on about what they’re going to do. This is in The Daily Beast, shouldn’t this be a headline in The New York Times and The Washington Post? So Biden will do whatever he has to do to get power and to keep his power if it means moving hard left. He’ll move hard left, there will be nobody around him to say, hey, Joe, what happened to my mom? Hey, what happened in marriage? All right. So be nobody there to tell him that he’ll do whatever he’s told. And that’s serious. And that’s the truth. And I’ll continue to decline mentally. All he’ll have to do is take out his pen and sign the legislation that’s put on his desk. That’s what he has to do, as long as he can sign his name, as long as he can sign his initials. Sign this, Joe, what is it? Don’t worry about. Pretty scary. Extraordinarily radical. And yet Biden knows what he wants to do, in my view, he’s now part of the hard left. Here he is again in Tampa yesterday, cut for Mr. Producer. Go five days left five days. But who’s counting? Right, who’s counting? I believe when you use your power, the power of the vote, we literally are going to change the course of this country for generations to come. We’re doing both at home and abroad. There you go. He’s thrown in, he’s ready. Reminds me of Obama in 2008, cut five go. We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. This is with the five days. Biden, where literally are going to change the course of this country for generations to come. Obama, we’re five days away from fundamentally transforming America. I don’t want them to fundamentally transform America. They don’t actually have the constitutional authority to do that. But that’s what they plan to do. Bernie Sanders last night, they all talked the same way because they all mean the same damn thing. On The Late Show last night, cut six go and we have really strong support, people feel deeply about the issues that I and other progressives have raised. You’re not a progressive asshole. You’re a Marxist. Go ahead, conscious of that. He understands that we have supporters who desperately, desperately are demanding that we pass a Medicare for all single payer program, that we deal with climate change, that we deal with systemic racism and a terrible immigration system, that our people feel passionately about the need to transform America and create a government that works for all. He understands that. So Bernie Sanders wants to transform America. Biden wants to transform America. Obama talked about transforming America. What they really mean is to take these Marxist. Policies and goals. And whitewashed them as some kind of. An innocent, dumbed down kind of thing where Americans will accept it. These are very devious people who intend to do very dangerous things. If you’re a blue collar worker out there, you’re targeted, they can talk about the rich and transformational they want, they don’t give a crap about you. If you’re on the audio assembly line, you trust me on this. They don’t give a damn about you, they just want their votes and then they’re off to the races. They intend to bring in more and more and more illegal immigrants, so you blue collar workers and unions and non unions. You’ll be less of a necessity to the Democrat Party, use you. And then. Reject you? This whole climate change and green New Deal stuff is aimed at blue collar workers in this country, truckers, drivers of other sorts. Men and women who work on assembly lines, men and women who work in coal mines, oil fields, steel mills, it’s your jobs they’re going to destroy. And then they blithely say, but don’t worry, we’ll retrain you. Like you’re some kind of a group of in a communist regime. Don’t worry, we’ll retrain you to do what? We’ll decide what you’re going to do in West Virginia and western Pennsylvania, in Ohio and Kentucky, in Michigan. Oh, yeah, we’re going to decide. We’re going to retrain you. We train you. To do what? Oh, to make battery operated socks. Oh, we got all kinds of ideas, AOC, she’ll be in charge of the automobile sector. Bernie Sanders will be in charge of the of the communications sector. Elizabeth Warren will be in charge of the labor sector just like good little communists. They will destroy the auto industry. And everything that goes with it, the metal, the plastic, that rubber. Everybody who’s involved in this, you know, people in big cities, in the suburbs, they don’t understand how cars are made, what goes into making a car. They just want to be able to go to a dealer, say, no, no, no, I’ll pay a 400 dollars less and buy it right off the lot. People don’t understand how food get gets to their table. Electricity, natural gas. Oil. Cole, this is all being targeted, the people who produce it. The people who transported. The end users, most of you. Your energy bills are going to go through the roof. They’re going to create a national security issue here when we unilaterally destroy our own energy industry and the Chinese are going to get on the move, the Russians will be empowered with their oil, a complete and utter domestic and foreign policy disaster. It is suicidal for this nation. What they’re proposing, suicidal. Open borders, illegal aliens get health care, they will destroy all health care insurance will not matter anymore. And what are they going to do once the system collapses? Cloward and Piven, they’ll remake it. And so you’re going to wait in lines. Maybe not physically in lines, but she’ll get on the phone and just say, I need an appointment from my wife, I need an appointment for my kid, for my son, I need an appointment. Do you have a referral? I can get a referral. OK, good. And who would you like to see? I need to see a heart specialist. I’m sorry. You’re going to have to wait 17 weeks. That’s what happened in Canada. All Canada. I can’t wait 17 weeks. My wife, she’s having palpitations, she’s getting listen. That’s the way it is. Everybody gets health care. I know, but they knew, hey, don’t complain, you have health care, don’t you? Yes, but she needs met. Who do you think you are trying to get in the front of the line, you can hear these bureaucrats on the phone right now trying to get in the front of the line. We had a lot of people waiting. You’re starting to see it already because of Obamacare. You’re starting to see it already, aren’t you? I need to see that. OK, we’ll see in three and a half weeks, it used to be OK, I’ll see you in three days. Not anymore. Not anymore. The government doesn’t run anything well, what the hell does it run? Well, can we run the damn cities can’t run the damn states. They’re in the whole trillions and trillions of dollars. They undermine the cops. They’re destroying their pension systems. Hey, I have an idea. Let’s give them health care. Oh, yeah. That’s a good I not only that, I have a better idea what let the whole damn well come in here and get it for free. Hey, that’s a good idea. Who came up with that one AOC. Oh well she’s the future. She’s fabulous. She’s a genius. She not only knows how to how to pour drinks, she knows how to run the country. Oh, my God. We’ve never seen anything like this before. And there’s Joe Biden. Honest to God, America, that guy can barely walk ten feet. He can barely put six sentences together. He’s walking around with with sunglasses on now. He’s lied to you for forty-seven damn years. Now he says, oh, listen, if you want to keep your doctor, you can keep your doctor. No, you can’t. We’re not suckers, we’re Americans. Why are we encouraging people from other parts of the world to come into this country and have our health care system, you want to answer that? I’ll tell you why. Because this is a war on the American citizen, Democrat, Republican union, non-union, wealthy, poor. They want to transform the country. It how many more times more they have to say. Fundamental transformation while screw them. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
Let me try it this way. Some of us are old enough to remember, but let me convey the image. When Ronald Reagan was president, the dictators over there, the communist dictators of the Soviet Union, they kept dying off. They kept putting old ones in one after another, one after another. It’s almost laughable. Now, putting aside this dying off, you imagine. Sitting in Gee’s office of Putin’s office or the Islama Nazis’ officer runs Iran or any of these offices, you’re looking at the United States, you’re looking at Donald Trump, who is vigorous. Who has a respect, whether you like it or not, he’s built up the United States military, he’s put a number of these countries in the box where they belong. And then they look at Joe Biden, who they see as a very feeble man, he just doesn’t have it together, he kind of shuffles across the field or the stage as he goes to his microphone, he talks about shutting down the country. He talks about shutting down fracking and fossil fuels. He talks about opening his borders to hordes of human beings who will come in and get their health care talks about massive increases in taxes and regulations that will that will kill the heart and soul of our industries. You got to be laughing. You have to be laughing. How the hell do you vote for a guy like that, to be perfectly honest with you, the people who vote for Biden are picking somebody who is No one incapable of doing the job. But putting that aside. Whose policies will weaken America from within and strengthen our enemies from without? I mean, it is shocking. He’s going to put up the five million people out of work, according to a study out of Stanford. We’re going to lose two point three trillion dollars and GDP, but the government will get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. I’ll be right back.
