On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, The general will and the common good were the basis for the French Revolution which destroyed its society, unlike the American Revolution which stood to defend our society against monarchic tyranny. Marxist autocrats have spent a generation trying to undo our Constitution and they attack the first, second, and tenth amendments savagely and it continues today. The US Constitutional system is the only legitimate form of government in our nation. The farmers relied on the separation of powers to avoid mob rule and rule by the monarchy, this is why they gave power to the people through the legislature and it’s exactly why legislatures are being usurped when it comes to voting laws. Then, the US federal government is the largest employer and debtor in America and President Biden and the Democrats want to raise your taxes just to make it bigger. The failures of Democrat-run cities and states have just been financed by all taxpayers. Later, 40% of small business owners can’t find workers because of stimulus payments and add-ons. Biden and Democrats have used the virus as a pretext to create these permanent entitlements. This is the Cloward-Piven strategy of overloading the system and crashing the system, so they can blame the system as they grab power. Afterward, the Washington Post has been forced to be honest and publish a retraction. It turns out that the story that Trump pressured State officials to “find the fraud” was false. The conversation was recorded by a state investigator and the investigator deleted the recording of the call. The audio file was retrieved from the state investigator’s trash bin.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
This is Radio Free America. Two arrests. Attacks on a Capitol Hill police officer who later died and the reasons that the FBI won’t tell us. Who’s been arrested for the murders and attacks all last summer? Police officers on private citizens, and so do we know their names? We don’t know anything about them. Just thought I’d point that out. But that’s not the subject of my top of the program here. We live in a republic. This nation was founded as a republic, it was not founded as a pure democracy. It was not founded as a parliament. It was not founded as a monarchy. It was not founded as an autocracy. There’s a big difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution. The American Revolution was a revolution against. Governmental tyranny. The French Revolution was a revolution against French society. That is the French resolution revolution. Took up pretty much the ideology of Rousso. Where the society must be focused all the time, not on the needs of the individual, not on protecting the individual, not on individual sovereignty, but on the general will in the common good. The problem is that General, well, not the common would have different definitions for different people. And yet they all think they’re righteous. In putting down the individual and putting down the individual’s freedom and free will for the general, well, on the common good, that was the French Revolution, they destroyed their own society. That was not the American Revolution again, the American Revolution wasn’t about destroying the American society was about defending it. Hugely different revolutions. But what you see going on today is a form of the French Revolution against the American Revolution. What you see happening today, and I’ll continue to say this until the backbenchers on cable TV and radio begin to regurgitate it. Is a form of a Marxist autocracy. Now, our Constitution was set up a certain way for a reason, which is exactly why it’s under attack. By the hard core left and by their voices in the media, such as the New York Times of the 1619 project, the same New York Times that sat on information during the course of the Holocaust, the same New York Times that provided propaganda in defense of Stalin as he was wiping out millions of Ukrainians that New York Times. Utterly unreliable and contemptible. We have under our constitutional system, and it is the only legitimate form of government in America, our Constitution, anything else is not legitimate. That means whatever it comes to be or whatever is coming to be is illegitimate if it doesn’t comply with the constitutional system. We have separation of powers. The framers of the Constitution didn’t invent separation of powers, although we’re really the only government and the biggest government that put such a model in place and thank God for that. It had been mentioned by John Locke, who had an enormous influence on the colonists during the revolutionary period. But it was explicitly provided by Montesquieu, had an enormous influence on the framers during the constitutional period. Separation of powers, the purpose of which is to have a functioning government, but to protect the individual, to avoid two things ruled by the mob as they saw in the French Revolution and rule by the monarchy which they revolted against. So against autocracy. And against the mob of pure democracy. And they developed a republic. Separation of powers, it’s right in your Constitution, Article one, Article two, Article three. Checks and balances all through the Constitution. Later on, they would out a bill of rights, the specific purpose of which is to defend the individual against this federal government that they created. And in addition. They were very concerned. That the states retain the vast majority of power and that the individual. Retain their unalienable rights. The Ninth Amendment is effectively. Referencing the Declaration of Independence and the 10th Amendment is upholding the notion of federalism. The 10th Amendment, the 9th Amendment had been under savage attack by the left for a century. Because their ideology, which is an offshoot of Marxism progressivism, demands conformity and uniformity and centralization. And so they have literally spent a century trying to destroy the construct of the Constitution. And they’re out of the closet now. Totally out of the closet. You have the First Amendment that’s intended to protect religious liberty we saw in the last one passed year. That religion wasn’t protected. That totalitarian rogue governor targeted religious institutions, and we saw, shockingly, that there were even members of the United States Supreme Court that supported. Freedom of speech under the First Amendment. Is under absolute attack. The Second Amendment. The attack is constant. Constant, they lie about the amendment, they lie about what it says. They lie about the history of it. Endless efforts. To degrade your Second Amendment rights and to diminish. That part of the Bill of Rights always proclaiming in a self-righteous way that they’re doing it for the people, they’re doing it for the safety of the people, they’re doing it in the name of the people. But they never propose amendments, have you noticed? They insist on doing it by executive fiat or statute or judicial fiat. If you’re going to change the Constitution, you must amend the Constitution, and there’s two processes for that, one of which is ignored convention of states and the other which requires two thirds of both houses of Congress to send it to the states and three fourths to ratify. But they can’t get two thirds in both houses and they certainly can’t get three fourths of the states. So what do they do? They change the constitution anyway. That is a legitimate. What’s under attack right now? The entire Republican system is under attack. When Joe Biden sits in the Oval Office and signs one executive order after another, which fundamentally alters one part of our culture, our society after another, his conduct is unconstitutional and don’t have any Supreme Court decisions. I don’t give a damn. I can read the Constitution far better than most of them. And I know the history, that constitution far better than most of them. Half of them are activists, at least six of them are activists, which means damn the Constitution. So what do they do, our framers, our brilliant framers? They set up this electoral college system, which they eventually agreed to near the end of the process. And they set it up to make sure that people would participate. That the state legislatures would have the biggest say and that ultimately Congress would count the electors, so the people were involved, the state legislatures were involved, and ultimately Congress was involved. But they had their roles, it wasn’t Congress is involved and tells everybody else what to do. No. And yet that’s exactly what’s going on today is the tyrannical left seeks to impose its will and to ensure that forevermore the tyrannical left. Which has a death grip on the Democrat Party, has the first say and the final say on all matters. What do they do? They created a bicameral legislature, not a one cameral legislature, a House of Representatives, the only federal body that’s directly elected. Every two years, and those districts are determined by the state legislatures in the states. And the Democrats want to do away with that, they want technocrats who they will control, of course, to decide how congressional political districts are determined. They want to take the power away from the state legislatures, they want to take the power away from the state legislatures in every aspect of voting. Then they created a Senate, what was the purpose of the Senate? The purpose of the Senate was to give the state legislatures representation in the Congress. The state legislature’s representation in the Congress. Well, at the beginning of the last century, with a big push by the progressive movement with the 17th Amendment. Fundamentally altered the nature of the United States and in my view, made it irrelevant, so the direct election of senators. Rather than the legislatures determining how senators would be appointed. So now the states have no say in the federal government whatsoever. They are the playthings of the bureaucrats, they’re the playthings of a guy like Biden who is signing executive orders, they have no say whatsoever in the federal system. Now, let me ask you a question. Do you think there’s a single state that would have ratified the Constitution under those circumstances? Absolutely not. Not one of them. Not one of them. Gun rights are under attack. Immigration is specifically addressed in the constitution, the state excuse me, that Congress is supposed to set the rules for immigration. But the Congress do not does not set the rules for immigration when you have Joe Biden issuing executive orders and creating anarchy and chaos on our border, and he won’t even hold a press conference to discuss it. He won’t even take a single question to discuss it. This is worse than a king or a queen, because there is the petina or the facade or the fig leaf of a representative republic when the president of the United States. Will not. Will not. Address the American people through questions and answers other than created speeches that he reads and barely coherently. Private property rights under the Fifth Amendment. You know, there’s a takings clause that if the federal government takes your property, you have a right to a fair market value for. But the courts change that, so we have these massive regulatory takings with all kinds of impositions by the federal government, Congress and the president on small businesses, medium businesses and large businesses that affect their property rights. And they’re not compensated a clear violation of the Fifth Amendment. Freedom of the press. We don’t have a free press, I wrote the book. It’s a non free press. There’s a press that represents a single party and it’s a press that is ideological, it’s a press that hates our country, hates the Constitution, it has a press that walks lockstep in line with the radical left and the Democrat Party. And it’s a Praetorian Guard. That has absolutely no interest. No interest in getting to the truth and getting facts or defending our founding principles. None. With a massive bureaucracy unaccountable to everyone. And yet the Democrats on the left keep giving them more and more power. Critical race theory, critical gender theory, critical, whatever theory you can fill in the blank with, which is a. Racist theory. A racist theory. That’s what it is. Is now to be not only digested by Democrats throughout. The bureaucracy, excuse me, by bureaucrats throughout the government, but it is to be promoted in everything they do. We know that because Biden just signed an executive order directing that. They’re talking about a wealth tax, a wealth tax, of course, is unconstitutional, you’ve already been taxed on your wealth. You put it aside, you purchase a home, you purchase a painting, you purchase a car, whatever. That’s the net. After you’ve paid all these taxes, look at your payroll. Stop. After you’ve paid all these taxes, now they want a wealth tax, but only on the richest, don’t worry. You better worry, because if this becomes a fact, it will affect you. They’re not really interested in the rich, they’re interested in you controlling the masses. We have a death tax. They want a wealth tax. We have all kinds of taxes. They want to massively increase taxes, massively increase the debt, massively increase the power of the central government, defy the Constitution’s limits. And that’s where we are now. I want to address this further when I return. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
Let’s continue. The federal government today is the largest employer, insurer, pension provider, landowner, landlord, consumer, creditor. And Ed. There are articles today all over the place for Joe Biden. And his people and I’ve told you about this, even without these articles, I’ve told you this weeks ago. Wants to be a bigger so-called progressive than LBJ and FDR. That massive spending bill that came through, ladies and gentlemen, was a disgusting disgrace. They lied through their teeth, they rushed it through so you wouldn’t know what’s in it. There’s more in there now than we even thought. You and I are paying off heavy debt on union pensions for paying off heavy debt and public sector union pensions. We’re paying off the debt of Democrat cities and states. Joe Biden is changing our labor rules. He’s changing all the rules to protect his base. Have you got more? I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 3
Welcome back. Capitalism is under attack on every front. Border security and America’s sovereignty is under direct assault. Private property rights, a wealth tax really under direct assault. You’re right to bear arms, that’s what it says. Under direct attack. If you’re not a minority in this country, shockingly enough, you’re under attack. There’s something wrong with you, there’s something wrong with your children, there’s something wrong with your grandchildren, they’re all bigots, they’re all racists and they’re all privileged. Where did that come from? Where did that come from? Colorblind society. Martin Luther King, are you kidding me today, that’s a joke. That’s laughed off every day. Your children have been abused horribly. By Democrats and their unions for the last year. Horribly. For the last year. And they’re subsidized by Joe Biden and the Democrats. 50/50 in the Senate, that’s what they have, that’s why they want to get rid of the filibuster rule. Now, I touched on this on life, liberty, and lived in my opening monologue. A republic. In a republic. With all the. Checks and balances, the separation of powers. The respect under our Bill of Rights. For the individual and so forth. You’re supposed to be deliberative, take your time participatory and representative. Is that how you feel in the first 60 days of the Biden administration? Do you feel like you were lied to by Joe Biden, who said so? Are you kidding? I’m a moderate. Everybody knows me. I’m lunch bucket Joe from Scranton, Pennsylvania. He never goes to Scranton, Pennsylvania, unless he’s making a campaign stop there to try and win Pennsylvania. He never goes to Pennsylvania, period, unless it’s Philadelphia. All these protections in the Constitution, all these firewalls in the Constitution are intended to slow things down. To prevent mobocracy to present, to prevent the centralized ironfist so the body politic can participate in the process, that’s the whole point of the filibuster to slow things down. So we the people have some say. So they want to eliminate the filibuster. They’re not having committee hearings. There are fences with barbed wire and 2,600 now to 5,000 National Guardsmen. They’re not protecting the Capitol building. They’re preventing you and me, the taxpayers, the citizenry. You have no intention of doing anything violently from peacefully protesting for a meeting with our members of Congress, from observing them in the gallery, in the galleries and so forth, in the galleries, rather. We have no representative of participatory government going on, ladies and gentlemen, you have a president signing Fiat’s. You have a House of Representatives hatching laws and Nancy Pelosi’s office. You have Democrats voting for other Democrats under a proxy rule that was put in place due to the coronavirus, they claim still in place. You do not have hearings in which legislation is worked out between and among the parties and where we can participate and call our members of Congress. What’s going on today is not. Republicanism, it’s not even democracy, and it sure as hell isn’t constitutionalism. So what is it? What is it? It’s tyranny. Now, what happens because I speak the truth, because I’m somebody who understands American history and, quite frankly, world history. What happens is we have people who are very superficial and surface level who are paid to attack me or who are paid in newspapers to defend Biden and the Democrats and what exists. On the left. And so if somebody does something stupid, it’ll be Mark’s fault. I don’t want anybody to do anything stupid. But we have to talk about what’s going on here. This is not a joke. This is our country. And your input is almost nonexistent, which is why they want to destroy the franchise, the electoral process. That’s what they want to do. And they’re doing in the name of black Americans and Latino Americans who have nothing to do with this. Nothing to do with this. You have demagogues galore. Not just in the Democrat Party, but in the media. In academia. And several in the Republican Party like Adam Kinzinger or Lynne Cheney. Or Mitt Romney or Lisa Murkowski. And Ben Sasse, these are demagogues. They spent more time attacking Donald Trump than they do confronting Joe Biden. Adam Kinzinger the other day actually voted for one or both of these gun control bills. He’s lied to his constituents from the day he set foot in the House of Representatives as a Tea Party candidate. So these are grave threats to our liberty. And you know it, and they have consequences, so many. That they can be catalogued, I have a piece here, but before I get into this. I have dear friends who have a very. Wonderful restaurant in Florida. They don’t make a lot of money. They struggle every week. And they worked their butts off. They work so hard, morning, noon and night. And these are patriots, they love this country. They couldn’t open Friday. Not because they wouldn’t have a lot of customers, they wouldn’t. Because they couldn’t find any help. They couldn’t get a wait staff put together. You see, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow, the first 4,500 dollar so-called stimulus checks go out. And so what people are doing is they’re not working. 300 dollars on top of unemployment benefits. Never before is the federal government paid unemployment benefits, but now they do. They’re waiting for the 15 dollar minimum wage, which in Florida is going to happen because the people here brilliantly voted for. And because of this massive spending, you’re going to see interest rates go up now, my gasoline prices have gone up 50 percent since Joe Biden was president of the United States, 50 percent. For no reason whatsoever other than Joe Biden is going to start choking off supply. What kind of president is that? But here’s a piece. Forty percent of small business owners are having trouble filling job openings, 40 percent. I want to give attribution to the right people here. It’s from Fee, FT.com. Dog, rather, have ITG, a great site, by the way, ironically, the government’s response to unemployment is actually prolonged and created it. Hannah Cox, whopping 40 percent of small business owners were unable to fill job openings last month, a seven point increase from January. Can you imagine what’s going to happen now? This comes from the NFIB, a small business advocacy group, the inability to fill jobs comes in spite of the fact that 25 percent of small businesses increased compensation during the same period, but they can’t compete with the federal government. Ladies and gentlemen. These small businesses have been on their backs. They’re now starting to stand up in some states, in a lot of states, the governor still has their foot on their throat. But as they’re starting to come back, they’re getting whacked and whacked over again, employers are feeling the crunch with 24 percent claiming labor quality is their top business problem. Another 51 percent reported few or no qualified applicants for positions they sought to fill. A statistic made all the more troubling as economists predict millions of new jobs by the end of the year. These findings are shocking, given the current unemployed. But numbers in the country which hover somewhere between 10 million and 18 million out of work, the government doesn’t know exactly, of course, or over six percent. So where are the workers? Several factors could influence. The long delayed reopening of schools has placed a tremendous burden on families, the lack of child care has been especially harmful for working women globally. Women have lost their jobs during the pandemic at a rate one point eight times greater than men and are unlikely to work to return to work any time soon. Others, particularly those with pre-existing health conditions, may be fearful about resuming daily activities. But all things considered, the federal government’s increase an extension of jobless benefits is likely playing an outsized role and the decision many Americans are making to stay home. And now this was written before the stimulus checks are going up. Prior to the pandemic, the average person on unemployment received 300, say, 78 hours a week. And most states offer benefits for a period of 26 weeks or less. But then Congress stepped in, began passing relief bills and expanded the numbers vastly. At the height of the pandemic, individuals were paid six hundred dollars a week by the federal government. Giving the average collector a weekly rate with state and federal monies of nine hundred and seventy eight dollars for an extended period of 39 weeks. That’s about 50,000 over a year. The country’s clearly on the other side of the crisis, millions are being vaccinated, case numbers and hospitalizations are both down. But then they passed the biggest spending bill in American history and they wrap it up behind what? The coronavirus, and even before they passed it, I said, this is so bogus, it’s unbelievable. It’s so bogus, it’s unbelievable. And that’s why they’re doing it as fast as they can, and now we have reports, maybe I’ll get to them, maybe I won’t, that they want to institutionalize these changes. So it’s not just for the virus, but it’s for all time. That was always the game plan. So here we have a republic with these politicians are lying to us about what they’re doing openly, openly lying to the American people whom they are bankrupting. And the media openly protecting them and covering for them. While our our children and our grandchildren are going to be affected by this long after we’re dead. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
Under the rubric of the coronavirus, Biden tomorrow, the next day, is going to be issuing new labor workplace rules. And the big union bosses, I’m not saying the union members, the big union bosses are thrilled because it’s basically. All their demands. We changed our voting system, ladies and gentlemen, because the coronavirus mail in voting, remember, but not really was the coronavirus, because now we’ve H1 H1N1. I hope you watched live on TV excuse me, Life, Liberty and Levin or live in TV where we’ve explained this. So we’re going to fundamentally destroy the franchise. They used the cover of the virus. We’re going to fundamentally destroy workers rights in the name of workers, of course, because the big private sector unions that are bleeding membership want to force people to be members. These. Spending. Projects that were in the latest two trillion dollar bill last week are now going to be permanent entitlements. But of course, it was because of the virus, but they’re going to be permanent entitlements. As they continue to burn down our Republican, I want to thank the Supreme Court for sitting on the sidelines and their little cloistered world. As they eat their tuna fish sandwiches during their. Their lunch conferences. And I can just hear John Roberts now, you know, Clarence, we really shouldn’t get involved in politics here in Clarence, my view as we we just wait this out and hope that it passes. And besides, you know, Clarence, they really want to they really want to fundamentally alter what the Supreme Court and the judiciary is like. We’d better not jump in in the middle of this, you know. And I can hear we have a constitutional responsibility to uphold the Constitution, it says what it says, that’s our job, come what may. Well, Clarence, you know, you’re very, very interesting and quaint in your views and. We know you’re kind of an outlier there, Clarence, but, you know, I’m John Roberts from Hollywood. John, I know how to pull together a majority here. I use the three stiffs on the left here, plus Cavitt all now been scared out of his wits and apparently. County to. She’s the biggest disappointment, she’s the she’s the biggest disappointment. In my view. Let’s quickly go to Sergio, Miami, Florida, on the Mark Levin and Sergio, how are you, sir? Thank you, ma’am, for taking my call. You bet. I got to tell you, this man just tell you about a couple that they couldn’t have people to open their restaurant. They had a shut down Friday because they couldn’t get any waiters and waitresses. OK, let me tell you, I went to work yesterday at 11:00 AM, still a week. I cannot find anybody to work. It is it I don’t know how to explain this to the people of America, and I’m from Nicaragua and I came and I make my dream come true. I have my franchise in the 7-Eleven. Remember what Joe Biden said about the people that work with 7-Eleven that offended me? You know, you don’t speak Indian. No, sir, I don’t. I’m kidding you, no, you’re Nicaraguan, you speak Spanish and English. Yes, I do. Yeah, I do. I do. And but my point is I want to send a message to the people of America that what the Democrat Party has become radical. I saw this happen in my country. They. They destroy the people that they they gave an opportunity, the government will never give you an opportunity for you to move on. Never. If I have a 7-Eleven, let me tell you, Mark, if I may. Good. If I make good, I can have enough money. And I said to my manager, hey, look, let’s open another store and he can move on to the ladder. The government will never give you a ladder to move up. So what is the government give you a lot to ask yourself? This is the government give you an order to move up for you and your family to move up and for you to have a good family? I came poor here. I mean, they county they county have become blue completely, completely. OK, when I moved here in 82, they county was a Republican. They voted Republican. But now it is completely blue Democrat, you know. You know, I’ve got to go just because we’re about to break at the top of the hour. But I’m going to tell you something, Sergio. If you look at every aspect of what the Democrats are doing. They’re systematically looking at every part of our culture, every part of our society and trying to buy it. By it trying to own it and then trying to impose their will, the Democrat Party as well on the rest of the country. That’s what they’re trying to do. They don’t believe in federalism, they don’t believe an individual will or freedom. They don’t believe in any of that stuff. So they are raining money on Americans, raining money down on Americans. They are strengthening the different constituent groups in their base and they’re using government power to do that and expand their authority because that’s what tyrannies do. The Democrat Party has learned something. We’ve got Warren. We’ve got Sanders with obviously, we’ve got all of them. These are neo Marxists, if not Marxists. They know exactly what they’re doing and in a free society and a Republican form of government. The problem is, and I’ve said it over and over again, we haven’t figured out how to protect freedom from tyranny since tyranny uses freedom to destroy it. And that’s exactly what they’re doing, in my opinion. Thank you for your call, Sergio. I’ll be right back.
