August 2nd, 2024

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, we are in stagflation. The economy is contracting, unemployment is rising, and inflation is getting worse. Kamalanomics is destroying the economy and Harris blames Trump, who has been out of office for nearly 4-years, for the disastrous economic situation, which will only get worse. So, that’s her answer – blame Trump. Also, Harris got enough delegates virtually to secure the Democrat Presidential nomination – all without a single vote. What took place with the virtual counting of delegates was the hijacking of the democratic electoral system. Harris brings literally nothing substantive to the presidential race. She throws around cliches, exploits identity politics and victimization, takes no responsibility for the failed policies of her administration, and takes credit whenever she can for anything that seems to be working but provides not a single substantive reason to vote for her. She is running from her former statements and policies without explanation. She hides from real journalists who would question her about it all, relying instead on the corrupt media, millions in ads, and dishonest surrogates. And this is all fine by the same people, parties, and groups, including the media, that lied for years about President Biden. Later, virtually all Senate Republicans signed a letter today demanding that the Biden regime immediately stop withholding weapons from Israel. Meanwhile, Biden has the nerve to ream out Benjamin Netanyahu for taking out terrorists. Finally, Sen Ted Cruz calls in to explain that Harris is using the Biden basement strategy. She does no hard interviews, no real speeches, she just reads from teleprompters. She is counting on a media PR campaign. Ted provides breaking news that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revoked the plea deal for the 9/11 terrorists.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3800. Ladies and gentlemen. Say what? 3811. Yeah. Don’t call the pizza parlor. I just gave their number. All right. Well, now it’s finally happened. The economy is contracting. Unemployment is rising. Inflation is getting worse. The Dow today closed almost 700 points lower. Those of you who have pensions. They’re invested in mutual funds and so forth, that affects you. And it started last night. Late yesterday, stocks sold off on Thursday, tumbling nearly 500 points. Some fresh data stoke fears over a possible recession. And the notion I said we’re in stagflation and we are. And the notion that the Federal Reserve could be too late to start cutting interest rates. Initial jobless claims rose the most since August 20, 23. Manufacturing Index, a barometer of factory activity in the U.S., came in at 46.8% worse than expected and a signal of economic contraction. After these releases, the ten year Treasury yield dropped below 4% for the first time since February. Other words, there’s nowhere to go in terms of equities, in terms of interest and so forth. I guess, other than the hard tangibles like gold. These weak data sources, CNBC, these weak data releases come a day after central bank policymakers chose to keep rates at the highest levels in two decades. The stock market doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry because while three federal rate cuts may be coming this year and ten year bond yields are falling below 4%. The winds of a recession are coming in hard. And even big tech stocks such as Nvidia. Felt the pain with the artificial intelligence chip lidar off 6.7%. They’re all getting slammed. And again, many of you have pensions in these funds. You may not even be aware of it. So by nomics. Kamala nomics. I think I’ll call it for an hour. Mr. Producer. Kamala Mix. He is destroying the economy. Many of you have been suffering under this for a long time. Well, it’s only going to get worse now. It’s only going to get worse. You know what Kamala Harris did? She blamed Trump. Trump’s far. Says the invisible candidate. Even a full term. Nearly a full term after he left office. It’s Trump’s fault. Harris campaign is blaming former President Trump for the latest negative job reports. Nearly a full term after he left office has for years. They said Donald Trump failed Americans as president. Costing our economy millions of jobs and bringing us to the brink of recession, said James Singer Harris, spokesperson. May I ask you a question? Does Kamala Harris actually exist? Or is this like an air punk that’s going on, Mr. Brady? Where is she? She just shows up where the clapping seals jump up. Yeah. Kamala Yeah, Yeah. No questioning, no challenging. She’s handed now a nomination without a single vote from a single citizen or president. They don’t have to wait to the convention to nominate her. They nominated her virtually. Virtually people sitting at their computers in her underwear voting for her. So they didn’t they didn’t want an open. Convention where somebody might challenge or somebody may vote against her. No debate, no discussion. Brings me to a topic. There’s a lot to get to here, but I want to get into this. In other words, the economy is flattening, ladies and gentlemen, starting to crater. Contraction. With high rates. It’s over the recession. No, no, it’s stagflation. It’s even worse. That’s a recession with inflation. And people are going to hurt like hell. But of course they won’t discuss that in the media. They’re too stupid or they’re just too ideological. So Harris has enough delegates now that get the nomination for president before the Democrat convention. She never had any challenger, anybody to challenge her at the convention. She’s being installed, has never received a vote from anybody for president. Is this democracy? Democracy. Ladies and gentlemen, the great George Orwell said that even the greatest tyrants on the face of the earth claim that they. They run democracies. Their countries are democracies. The Democrat Party claims all the time. All the time. Then it’s supporting democracy. It’s protecting democracy. What just took place just now, these virtual. Counting of delegates. And all the rest of it. What just took place. What is the hijacking of the democratic electoral system? That’s what that is. What took place. The removal of Biden. The installing of Harris, it actually gets worse. She refused to be interviewed by anybody that might ask her tough question, period. She refuses to be interviewed. I’m ready to debate, she says. How about getting an interview? And the reason is her record is so extremist, so Islamist and Marxist. So out of the even the left wing mainstream. That she can’t win if that’s exposed. She’s walking her positions back, but she really isn’t. Her campaign is saying she is. Sort of a stealth candidate. Who won’t present herself to the voters. To you and me. The American people. We’re the ones who she’s running from. She’s running from us. And so is this democracy. Moreover, what’s the purpose of voting? What’s the purpose of voting? The purpose of voting is more than a mechanical act. It’s more than a ministerial act the Democrats talk about. They want more people to vote. They talk about repression, suppression, oppression. There should be voter ID, There should be. That’s our process. There’s no reason to vote. If one of the candidates who’s running. Won’t present herself. So that she can be questioned, so that you can actually know where she stands today. So you have to guess or they have surrogates in the media, phony journalists who tell you what she thinks. Our cloud. Who have nine comics, shows or more show a podcast telling you what she thinks and telling you what you ought to think about Trump. Trump is ubiquitous. He’s everywhere. He goes to hostile forms, non-hostile forms. They set him up. That one form recently. National Association of Black Journalists. They asked him a question they would never ask Biden. And Biden is the man who was a racist and segregationist. Biden has said a thousand things that are racist. And of course, the main question to Kamala Harris is. What kind of a morality do you have? That you would agree to run as vice president and be vice president to a man who opposed the integration of schools. You said it yourself during the 2016 debate, but you’ll never be questioned about that. Every election cycle. The Republican is a racist and a sexist. Doesn’t matter who it is. Let’s stop playing games. It’s Trump. And it was Trump before and Trump before that. But they pulled the same thing with Reagan. They pulled the same thing even with the Bushes. Whose milk toast is it gets. So this is a democracy. This isn’t even voting. The reason you vote is to vote for somebody whose views you agree with or to vote against somebody whose views you disagree with. So when a candidate. Is self-imposed in a witness protection program. I’ll call it a candidate protection program so the backbenchers have something to say. A candidate protection program program where the media does her bidding. Her hope is to run out the clock. Ladies and gentlemen, there’s three months left. That’s it. Three months. 90 plus days. That’s it. And the vast majority. America has no idea who Kamala Harris is. No idea. So the media are creating a person. You’re creating a fiction. You’re creating a character. And they’re doing it because Kamala Harris is a horrendous candidate who has a horrendous public record and personally treats people like crap. She’s had a 92% turnover and her office as vice president of the United States. And I’m going to get into more of them. She’s a nasty person with a foul mouth when the door is closed. She brutally bullies the little people. Now the media know this. There’s enough stories. Go ahead and Google them. About people coming out, people off the record. They matter how she treats people. She treats them like crap. There’s no record of our associations with Islamist organizations, terrorist front groups like CARE. And if you thought Jeremiah Wright was bad, you ought to find out about this guy, Amos Brown, who blamed America for 911. That’s her pastor, who she called as soon as she learned that Biden was dropping out and endorsed him for president. That’s who she called. I don’t care how many Jews she surrounds himself with, like that dumb husband of hers or Josh SHAPIRO or anybody else. They have their own motives. They have their own reasons. They have their own personal lives. Who cares? We want to know about Kamala Harris. Enough with the identity crap. That’s not what we’re voting for. We have a right as the American people to demand. And she came out from hiding that she not only go to audiences that jump up like clapping seals on the left, the Democrat Party, you name it. But she won’t do it. Can you imagine? She’s so scared of We the people. She’s right of we, the people that we will know who she is, that will know how dimwitted she is, that will know what an extreme is. She is that we know that she’ll have to abandon her extreme positions, at least during the campaign, but re-embrace them after the campaign. We’re all supposed to sit here and watch. It’s our country. It’s our country. What will Kamala Harris do to help the economy? No idea. What would she do to secure the border? No idea. What would she do about terrorism other than embrace their front groups? I think. We have a right to ask a question. We have a right for people who are supposed to ask tough questions. They have access to her, and I ask tough questions. The Democrat Party wants a coronation. The Democrat Party. Look, they had Biden in there for four years. He had orange juice can in there now. Kamala Harris. One year ago, she had the worst ratings of any vice president. NBC said in the history of record keeping the worst as she said, to be tied or leading Trump. How did that happen? How did it happen? It happened because the media pushing. They’re pushing a falsehood. You’re creating an image. It’s their own. I. A lot more to say, and I’m going to continue. We’ll be right back.

Segment 2
What are Kamala Harris’s great substantive accomplishments? I want to hear she’s the first, this and that. That’s not a substantive accomplishment. You’re a public official. A public trust. Well, she. A great district attorney. No, she was a disaster when she. Great attorney general. No, she was a disaster. Was she a great senator? She was only there a little bit. She didn’t do a damn thing. Was she a great vice president? She wants a promotion to the presidency because the Democrat Party seeks to impose her on us, the the corporate media, The most powerful enemy and entity excuse me, in the United States seeks to impose her on us. What is it? Some kind of a dictatorship. Some kind of a fascist regime. The Democrat Party. Look at them. They’ve gone through a so-called nomination process. That would make Putin smile. And it makes me smile and smile. Phony. A phony election process. Phony. They claim democracy. There’s nothing democratic about it. Nothing. And a lot of people just don’t seem to give a damn. But I want to congratulate the New York Post that found this. Five year old peace. Four and a half year old peace in the union. The union icon, written by Terry McAteer. Entitled Another Side to Kamala Harris. Now, the media know that she’s nasty and hateful. The media know that she’s a bully, that she screams at junior staff. The media know that she tells them not to look at her in the eye. The media. She drops the banshee curses like a drunken Marxist. But look how they pretend that she’s something special. She’s just unbelievable. Why don’t they report those things? Why is it that a handful of outlets do it? Why isn’t this big news? The way you treat people determines how you’re going to treat without people. 92% of Kamala staff left in her first three years as. As vice president, Kamala Harris office has had a staggering 91.5% turnover rate since she became vice president. An investigation from government watchdog organization Open The Books revealed the 47 staff members hired when Harris took office 2021. Only four reportedly remain in her employment as of March 2024. Some of these are big name Democrats. Some of them are actually on CNN and MSNBC. Chaos reigns on the vice president’s staff, wrote OTB founder Adam. I can’t pronounce it. Our auditors at the Open Books quantified extraordinarily high 91.5% turnover rate. I want to dig in to this. Oh, by the way, Josh SHAPIRO, he’s got a skeleton in his closet, too.

Segment 3
Payrolls provide further insight into the staff exodus and Harris’s office as vice president. As The Atlantic reported on October 20, 23 March, the Atlantic has gone south now. Harris communications director, national security adviser, chief of staff, and numerous aides left within a year and a year and a half after taking office. Furthermore, the turnover cases are getting better. In the trailing 12 month period, 24 staffers left. That’s almost half the employees. OTB investigation also revealed budget discrepancies and a lack of transparency from Harris’s office. He said Kamala Harris Office of vice president is committed to the opacity of its payrolls and all other office information that is covering it up. When OTB filed a FOI requests from Harris’s Office on Staff payroll in September 2021, a spokesman reportedly declined the request claim the vice president’s office was not subject to FOIA when OTB replied with a request for any transparency Harris’s office could provide, the spokesman said Harris did not have any information to share at this time. The VP’s rejection makes her the least transparent elected office holder in the country, he said in a 2021 Forbes article detailing the interaction. Citizens ought to be concerned that the person next in line for the presidency is so unwilling to disclose how she spends her money. Now she wants to be president and the media are fine. Ottps investigation also revealed an over $2 million discrepancy in Harris’s allocation of taxpayer dollars. Harris’s office reportedly refused to answer any questions from OTP. Regarding this inconsistency, OTB says its analysis reflects the dysfunction widely reported in the corporate media, which he says have called Harris’s office revolving door, where there’s been a staff exodus of key aides heading for the exits. The media haven’t written about this in at least 12 months. With a few exceptions. Because now they’re in rewrite cover up flip flop lying mode. Staffers in Harris office have reported a toxic work environment since 2021, when The Washington Post spoke with 18 individuals in Harris’s orbit. Why don’t they speak to them now? That’s three years ago. Descriptions range from uncomfortable to soul destroying. One of the things we’ve said in our little text groups among each other is what is the common denominator through all this? And it’s her former Harris aide and Democrat strategist Gil Duran told The Post. Back then and back in 2013, after just five months of working for Harris, he quit. Who are the next talented people you’re going to bring in and burn through and then have them pretend they’re retiring for positive reasons, he said. Others said Harris blames staff for her lack of preparation. It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who’s willing to do the prep and the work. Does that bother anybody? But, Kamala, you have to put up with a constant amount of soul destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sorting up propping up a bully, and it’s not really clear why. You don’t get this impression from the media today, do you, Mr. Producer? Here’s a father thanks to that in The New York Post today. Here’s a father who went to the pages of his local paper, The Union. Five years ago. Name’s Terry McTeer. Democrat. And he wrote another side of Kamala Harris. This is November five, 2019. Says, As many of you know, my family has some long political roots. My dad, J. Eugene McAteer, excuse me, was a San Francisco supervisor and state senator, chose untimely death at the age of 51. I pursued the educational political route, was elected Nevada County superintendent of schools for six four year terms. Our son Gregory loves politics and thought that it also might be his passion. Well, a few years ago, I assisted him in securing a summer non-paid internship with Senator Dianne Feinstein in her San Francisco office. Feinstein’s office was unable to have Gregory start in June, but told him that then-Attorney General Kamala Harris was looking for a summer intern. Oh. I have nothing against now, Senator Harris, as she is a good orator and has done some fine things while holding elective office. I believe, however, how she treats her staff is as important as an individual’s legislative accomplishments. A person’s character is probably one of the most important attributes for someone wanting to obtain the office of president. But apparently it doesn’t matter to Biden and the Democrat Party apparently doesn’t matter to the American media. Pravda. Al Jazeera. Presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar. She’s another one, had drawn scrutiny for her berating treatment of her staff. This particular flaw by elected officials in dealing with common courtesy and respect towards staff is something for which most people in this country have little tolerance which open your microphone. All right, well, just tell me your microphone doesn’t cut off. We don’t have an abusive relationship, Billy. We don’t have an abusive environment here doing. 22 years later, if I had anybody quit as a result of me berating them or bullying them, anybody? No. And we’ve had zero turnover. The only turnover we’ve had is people getting promotions. They’re coming talk show hosts or pod cast hosts and so forth. There’s been nothing zero. It’s not hard to treat. You can be tough. You’ll be exacting, you can be demanding, but you don’t have to be in a hall. But she is. She’s an A-hole. Presidential candidate. CLOVER True. The particular flaw by elected officials in dealing with common courtesy and respect towards staff is something for which most people in this country have little tolerance. Sure the job is stressful. We’ve all dealt with an angry boss in our lives. But there’s another side to Kamala Harris, which the general public does not know. This is where the cover up is in the American media. Gregory had an eye opening experience in Harris’s office that none of us expected, where his sake, the month could not pass quickly enough. One month, needless to say, was delighted to work in Feinstein’s office for the rest of the summer for short episodes. I would like to share this month long internship for Kamala Harris. One month. Senator Harris vocally throws around F-bombs and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others. Do you realize, folks? That this is an actionable offense and H.R. departments will tell you that it’s actionable offense. The staff is in complete fear of her and she uses her profanity throughout the day. Isn’t that interesting? I didn’t hear this on CNN or MSNBC. I’ve read it in The New York Times for Maggie Haberman. Or the Washington compost. Wow. As attorney general, Senator Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, Good morning, General. I wonder if this will be reported by the view of five lying pukes on The View. Never once during the month long India trip that Harris introduced herself to our son as he was only in the office with 20 paid employees, in other words, a small office. And staff was too intimidated by her to introduce him. The only acknowledgement was a form letter of fact signed by Harris, given to him on his last day of service. My son Gregory was also given instructions to never dress Harris nor look her in the eye is that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members. Oh, she’s psychotic. He’s a head case. She’s a head case. I don’t know about you, but this is not the work place of someone who respects her staff, he writes. Where a woman of color to have employees stand when she enters the room smacks of a bygone era that we as Americans deplore and find demeaning. Furthermore, that she didn’t show the quality of leadership skills or even being a decent boss, much less the class to approach Gregory at least once during the month to say, Hi, I’m Kamala Harris, and I want to thank you for volunteering in my office is really troubling. Finally, what is up with? They don’t look in her eye instruction. I don’t know what he says. I, I wouldn’t want to work in that kind of a hostile environment. And that’s the point. He creates an illegal, hostile environment. I had Gregory read the piece before submitting it, and he’s willing to put his own integrity on the line because the truth is important to him. In fact, integrity and character are still virtues that can and should be upheld in our politics and in politics. We just haven’t seen them in a while. This is a Democrat. A known Democrat at the time, the San Francisco area. And then he became a Nevada county superintendent of schools. His father was a state senator, San Francisco supervisor. Now, they can’t all be lying. They can’t all be wrong. All the people resigned. Are they tracking them down over there at CNN and MSNBC to talk to all these former employees? Why not? Why not? Now. The Philadelphia Inquirer. The Philadelphia Inquirer is probably one of the most left wing newspapers in America. And yet here they actually wrote something. Let’s go through it together. How a sexual harassment scandal involving a Josh SHAPIRO aide could affect the Pennsylvania governor’s vice president chances. Now, ladies and gentlemen, apparently this has been out here for a long time and it’s not been picked up by CNN or MSNBC. It’s even in the Philadelphia Inquirer. They didn’t report on this today. In fact, this has been in the Philadelphia Inquirer for the last four days. Have you heard about it? Shapiro’s relationship with Mike Vera, a top aide who resigned last year amid a sexual harassment investigation, is drawing scrutiny. Kamala Harris bets the governor as a potential running mate. With Governor Josh SHAPIRO emerging as a potential frontrunner to become vice president. Kamala Harris, his running mate, one of the only scandals to mark his two decades in Pennsylvania politics has resurfaced, being governor for about 14 minutes. By the way, Aaron McClellan, the Democrat nominee for state treasurer in November’s election. Jerry Balls last week with a thinly veiled and unusual intraparty jab. That’s right. We’re all march in line. We click our heels. We know all that. Our leaders saying in a tweet that she wanted a vice presidential pick who, among other things, doesn’t sweep sexual harassment under the rug. Okay. I’m waiting and waiting for all the women on TV, MSNBC and CNN to demand to get to the bottom of this. Come on, guys. Right. Right. And try to do it without mentioning Trump. Yes, try one. Though she didn’t identify Shapira by name, McClellan’s pointed remarks were widely interpreted as a reference to the resignation last year of one of Shapiro’s top aides and closest allies. My very, very be amid a sexual harassment investigation, Perry, 57, abruptly stepped down in September, three weeks after Shapiro’s administration quietly agreed to pay $295,000 to settle claims from a governor’s office employee who said he’d made repeated sexual advances toward her and often spoke openly and loudly about her other staff members and a female state senator. Shapiro’s administration has largely avoided discussing a variable in the years since. Yeah, that’s it. See the media are like. A pillow. They cover the face and they smother the issues. Describing his departure as a private personal matter while maintaining it takes allegations of discrimination and harassment seriously. Apparently not seriously enough. His silence. Shapiro’s silence has drawn criticism from female state lawmakers of both parties who have called for a more transparent accounting of what SHAPIRO knew about his age conduct and when this is in anywhere on national TV. This isn’t anywhere in the national media. But we hear about his home. That’s a battleground state that could use that guy. Plus, he thought it might help him. What about this? Who is Mike? Vera. Vera. Most recently served as Shapiro’s legislative secretaries, a core member of his cabinet. One of the few people who has consistently been a part of the governor’s close personal circle of advisers over the years. Their relationship dates back 20 years to when Vera, a Republican and SHAPIRO, a Democrat, served along each side, each other in a state house where they both represented Montgomery County, which is where I’m from, between 2007 and 2012. Their Vera, who represented West Naughton based district, and SHAPIRO, represented Abington, for God’s sake, as the township there was next to mine, forged a bipartisan friendship and often teamed up to get into advanced legislation of the county’s interest. When SHAPIRO was elected attorney general in 2016, he named Vera in one of his first appointments in the job as his office, primarily as liaison to the rest of the state government. And after Shapiro’s election to government, he quickly named those cabinet posts. And as Shapiro’s top liaison to the General Assembly. Vera played a key role in guiding the administration’s international interactions with the legislature. But he abruptly resigned in September last year, less than nine months into the job. Why? No. The administration offered no explanation for very sudden decision to leave his job. The Enquirer reported last year his departure following an accusation that he sexually harassed a female aide. His accuser, who worked alongside Vera for less than two months before resigning her position in early 2023, said he’d repeatedly made suggestive comments and innuendos toward her that left her feeling uneasy, such as suggesting she should wear lower cut tops and higher slit skirts. At one point, she said, compared to another female staffer in his office whom he said he wasn’t sexually interested in because she was a type-A personality, would probably make him iron her sheets and pillowcases before sex, quote unquote. And when the accuser warned Verb that his behavior toward her had become the subject of a lot of his gossip, he turned on her and demanded to know who was talking about them, made another sexual pass. He insisted that if they decided to have a sexual relationship, it would be our business, he said. You decided you wanted to do that verb allegedly told the woman, Go close the door to this office. Tell me to bend. I’m not going to read it. There’s more about how SHAPIRO runs his office and his best buddy, his top man in his cabinet, and how they put a pillow over this issue and smothered it and how the national media are doing exactly the same thing. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
All right. Man, Oh man, I got so much Fri puts on the gas pedal and we need all 3 hours tonight, by the way. As an aside, I want to get into this later. If Tel Aviv is hit by the Islamo Nazi regimes of the groups in the region, then Israel needs to hit Tehran. Israel hits Tehran. That’s it. No more proxies. I mean, you get to wipe out the proxies and deal with them, too. But Tehran is in this war. Tehran is behind all this. And Tehran has so far escaped. Virtually. Or retribution. That’s my view. Now, what kind of an investigation occurred when it came to Josh Shapiro’s best friend? Well, after the break, I want to tell you. Because I want you to know about Josh SHAPIRO. The Philadelphia Inquirer, which is a very left wing pro-Democrat paper. They thought enough about this to put it out. And I suspect the reason they did it is they’re afraid that if Kamala Harris picks this guy, he could wind up being a problem. My view is let’s expose it and let’s expose her. These are two lousy people. Rotten people.
