Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 877-3813, 811-877-3813, 811. Welcome Mr. And Mrs. America. From sea to shining sea. In fact, the whole world out there. Welcome to our program. Trump's last 24 hours versus the Democrats. In the last 24 hours, President Trump has ushered in a major peace deal, taken on drug prices, instituted AI related research to end children's cancer, and spoke to the generals and admirals about his expectations. It's unbelievable. During the same 24 hours, the Democrats have insisted they will shut down the government. That says it all. They haven't done anything. Nothing except plotting to shut down the government. And what does that mean, ladies and gentlemen, I told you yesterday last evening that I'm going to address this, and I am, because all you hear are the pom pom. Boys and girls in the media say stuff that's just not true. And then you have the Democrats sloganeering and they're liars. So we're going to spend a little bit of time on this. Let's see here. With the help of some experts, there's a piece yesterday in the Hill by somebody named Cheryl Kelly. I don't know her. Apparently, she's been around various agencies over the years. But that is not the point. The point is what she wrote is very compelling, and I happen to know it's true. As somebody who served in the Reagan administration for eight years, she says the government never shuts down. What actually happens in budget standoffs? Congress is threatening another government shutdown as the September 30th deadline approaches. That would be midnight tonight, Mr. Producer. But here's what most Americans don't understand. Government is never shut down. Not once. Not once. What people call shutdowns affect only the most visible, least essential services, the actual machinery. Government continues operating normally during shutdowns. You know, I've said this over the decades. You couldn't shut down the entirety of the damn government if you wanted to. That's how massive, ubiquitous it is. Somewhere at 3am this morning, the U.S. drug the USDA, I should say U.S. department of Agriculture food safety inspectors walked into meat processing plants across America. They will examine 37 billion pounds of meat this year, not because politicians told them to do it, and certainly not this week, but because that's what the permanent government does every year. In windowless rooms at the National Weather Service, meteorologists are today analyzing atmospheric data that will determine whether your flight gets delayed tomorrow. At the USDA's global intelligence centers, analysts are tracking crop conditions in 95 countries that could affect American food prices months from now. Nuclear engineers are monitoring reactor cooling systems that can't take a day off. This will all continue going on and a whole lot more, regardless of budget negotiations in Congress. This is the government that Americans rarely see but depend on. Absolutely. And it reveals why the term government shutdown is fundamentally misleading. Stay with me on this, because you'll know something and tomorrow the media plagiarists will regurgitate it. What actually stops during shutdowns are the visible, public facing services that make citizens feel the political ping. This includes tourist visits to national parks in the Smithsonian and processing of some permits and applications. Here's what nuclear reactor monitoring Air traffic control Food safety inspection Disease surveillance Border security Law enforcement Military operations Social Security payments Medicare processing Medicaid payments Weather forecasting Thousands of other essential functions. As Paul Ryan said here in 2010, 83% of the government remains open. In terms of shutdown language, the government consists of 15 enormous agencies that run the country. The government in this sense, is very different and separate from politics. Politics is what happens in Congress. The debates, the standoffs, the theater of elected officials. Government is the infrastructure of 2.2 million bureaucrats who maintain complex systems regardless of election outcomes. This separation isn't bureaucratic efficiency. It's a firewall against political manipulation of these services. It prevents politicians from weaponizing food safety, air traffic control or nuclear security for electoral advantage. That's not really why it's in place, but that's okay. Each of the 15 cabinet level agencies operates as a scale most citizens can't comprehend. The Department of Transportation's FAA coordinates more than 44,000 daily flights serving more than 3 million daily airline passengers across 29 million square miles of airspace. Its system is so complex that a single software glitch can ground planes nationwide. The Department of Health and Human Services processes Medicare claims for approximately 63 million Americans with the program serving nearly everyone over 65 plus younger Americans with disabilities. Now, the Department of Energy manages not just power grids, but the entire nuclear weapons arsenal, warheads, delivery systems, and the scientific infrastructure that maintains them. The department's responsibilities include ensuring that nuclear reactors continue operating safely, regulating regardless of the political standoffs. What does shut down theater actually okay, what does shut down theater actually caused? Taxpayers lost productivity, for starters, she explains. Shutdowns also result in special expenses specifically related to preparing for shutdowns. Shutdowns can cause economic disruption. Finally, shutdowns cause a great deal of administrative drama. The government's actual structure is both simpler and more complex than political rhetoric suggests. Simpler because just 15 major agencies with clearly defined missions. It's more complex because each agency is as large as most multinational billion dollar companies, and they operate multiple sophisticated systems that interlock with each other. Department of Agriculture doesn't just inspect food. It manages global agricultural intelligence, rural banking systems, emergency food stockpiles, scientific research networks, and international trade relationships. When politicians threaten to shut down the department, they're really threatening to pause passport applications at rural offices while inspectors continue examining meat. And intelligence analysts keep tracking global grain supplies. So understanding the distinction would make Americans immune to much political manipulation. It can't be misled about agriculture policy if you know it involves operating intelligence networks in 95 countries. American government isn't all broken, it's just invisible. And she goes on, I've read you this. Not for the politics of it, or even her politics, whatever they may be. I read you this because the substance of it is true. 83% of the federal government does not shut down. It almost never shuts down. Almost never shuts down. And then you have certain programs that are specifically, specifically excluded. They call these essential programs. But you understand the government considers most of the government essential. Veterans benefits continue to be paid. Medicare, Social Security checks continue to go out. Medicaid continues to be paid. Border security continues. The military continues. And I go on and on. They're specifically exempted. Whether there's a budget or no budget, they keep plowing ahead. Here's how PBS writes it. A fight between Republicans and Democrats could lead to an October 1st federal government shutdown. Now, see what I mean? This is why I led with the other article. I've talked about this many, many times, regardless of that article, but I thought the article was very well stated. There is no government shutdown. Aspects of the government discontinue, some of them are inconvenient, and so forth and so on. There is no government shutdown. The government itself Congress itself has talked about essential and non essential services. It is determined that 87% of what it does is essential. But it goes on does pbs. Democrats are trying to leverage the must pass bill to extend Affordable Care act subsidies. Trump administration is tying a shutdown to potential mass federal worker layoffs. Current battle focus is on expiring subsidies for the Affordable Care act, which is unaffordable. Obamacare, ask anybody who's on it. And the healthcare sucks. But that's much like the Biden presidency. It's unaffordable and it sucks. Current battle focuses on that Democrats will hurt the ability of millions of enrollees to afford insurance. Democrats have also said they want to reverse Medicaid cuts. In other words, they want a fortune of money to go to illegal aliens where you pay for their health care. And many of them will get better health care than you. Republicans have said no. This is important to know. Now what the Republicans in the House already did is they passed what they call a clean continuing resolution. No changes, just a continuation of government till they finalize a big budget for the following year. Democrats are trying to use that to add on $1.5 trillion in new spending. Now when we come back, I'm going to tell you what that $1.5 trillion in new spending, certainly in a general way, that the Democrats want to spend on a continuing resolution that again has as its purpose to continue current programming and spending, not to increase it by $1.5 trillion. I'll be right back. The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow. And it's more critical now than ever that we train up the next generation to fearlessly defend conservative values. The Heritage Foundation's Young Leaders Program equips young conservatives with the principled foundation and policy knowledge needed to stand up in a world increasingly hostile to conservatives. The Young Leaders Program is more than an internship. Participants work right alongside Heritage professionals and they learn valuable workplace skills. They attend weekly policy briefings from Heritage's top experts and have access to practical skill building workshops. They visit historical sites in Washington and even unparalleled mentorship opportunities. If you or anyone in your life is looking to spend a semester in our nation's capital with the best and the brightest of the conservative movement, please go to heritage.org Levin heritage.org Levin go there today. Learn more about the Young Leaders Program applications for the spring semester close October 5th. So you have to hurry. Our nation's future depends on patriots like you spreading the word to make sure the next generation is equipped. Go to heritage.orglevin today. That's heritage.org Levin paid for by the Heritage Foundation. Oh my God. They're gonna shut down the government. This is what Washington does. This is what the media do. They've been doing it for so long. Tell me the government's been shut down over 20 times. I'll get to that too. Have any of you suffered as a result of that anytime over the last 50 years? No. No you haven't. The speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who has to deal with these reprobates, these Democrats, as does Thune in the Senate, he put out what the Democrats radical counter demands are on this continuing resolution. Now the Republicans had a clean nonpartisan short term measure to keep the government open while appropriations committees figure their finish their hearings. Now what the Democrats want is $1.5 trillion in the short term bill, bunch of partisan demands for a four week extension in exchange for a four week extension of current spending. They're saying, okay, but we want $1.5 trillion in some of the most radical things that you and the American people reject and voted against. They want to restore taxpayer funded free health care for illegal aliens, which the President and the Republicans cut. Let me repeat this. Taxpayer funded free health care for illegal aliens. How many of you who are not on Medicare and Medicaid, but how many of you get free health care? You might say in your job you get health care. I know, but you pay for that. You pay for it either through reduced wages or you pay for it with direct sharing of expenses. But why should we give illegal aliens free health care? They're not even supposed to be here. Now that'll break the system. And it certainly encouraged more illegal aliens to come into the United States of America. So the Democrats are constantly talking about the cost of health care. So ask Bernie Sanders as Hakeem Jeffries. Ask all of the Marxist Islamists. Well, if you're giving free health care to illegal aliens, that increases the price of health care to you, puts a greater demand on health care services and takes more money out of your pocket to subsidize people who aren't even citizens. So the Democrats want free health care for illegal aliens. What else do they want? They want to keep able bodied non working adults on taxpayer funded health care programs. So let's say it's a 28 year old, he's sitting on a sofa, he's drinking soda, eating Cheetos, watching TV all day. They get free health care. The Republicans said no, you got to show that you're working 20 hours a week, even volunteering for some organization. If you, if you have your mental facilities, faculties, if you have your physical faculties, you need to participate in the workforce. You can't just sit around and get free health care from the people who are working. So they want to keep able bodied non working adults on taxpayer funded health care programs. That's number two and it costs a fortune. They want to permanently extend Biden's COVID pandemic era Obamacare subsidies. What does all that mean? There were certain programs that were passed with enormous expenses that we were told to get us through the pandemic heightened expenses. And so the Trump administration and the Republicans said, no, that's enough. The Democrats want to retain that these massive excessive spending on COVID pandemic era Obamacare subsidies. What else? They repeal $50 billion. They repeal it in rural health care funding, hurting small hospitals and clinics vulnerable to communities. They want all the money for the big cities. Anybody who lives outside the cities, particularly in the rural area where the population by definition is relatively small, they want to steal money from those little hospitals, which means they will collapse. I've got more. I'll be right back. The Heritage foundation built the Young Leaders program because they're committed to investing in the next generation of America's leaders. This mission is even more important now as we need a new generation of young leaders fearlessly defending the truth. Every semester, Heritage trains and mentors more than 50 interns who are committed to the principles of individual freedom, free enterprise, limited government, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Through policy briefings, professional development workshops, lectures from the top conservative thinkers on first principles of conservatism and more, Herdridge equips young conservatives with the timeless truths, practical knowledge and relevant skills needed to protect and advance conservative principles and policies. If you know young conservatives hungry for a challenge, please go to heritage.org Levin heritage.org Levin find more information about the program and its impact on young conservatives. Applications for the spring semester close October 5th. So you gotta hurry, don't wait. Our nation's future depends on conservatives like you taking action to spread the word. Again, that's heritage.orglevin heritage.org Levin go there today. Let's do our part in training up the next generation of America's leaders. That's heritage.org Levin paid for by the Heritage foundation, the establishment's worst nightmare. Mark levin, call in now. 877-381-3811. So you're learning more now about government shutdowns than most people will ever learn at watching television or listening to other shows that's for sure. Now I explained this last night. I've explained it for 20 some years. Revenue into the government never stops. It never stops. That's the other, the other outrageous, misleading nomenclature when they talk about a government shutdown. The IRS doesn't shut down and you keep paying your taxes. I'm looking at a site called Fiscal Data from the Treasury Department. Oh yeah, I was up early working on this like two or three in the morning when my mental juices just keep flowing. In fiscal year 2024, the last year we have the overall number for the largest source of federal revenue was individual income taxes. Your income taxes, 49.3% so far. In fiscal 2025, the largest source of federal revenue is individual income taxes, 50.3% of total revenue. Now that revenue, and there's others, and I'll get to it, is used to fund these programs. So the government, the money keeps flowing in. The money keeps flowing in, no matter what. And how much money keeps flowing in? A lot. That's giving you an example. In 2024, the government collected nearly $5 trillion. It's going to collect more this year. The government also collects revenue from services like admissions to national parks, custom duties on foreign imports, and of course, tariffs now which are significant. And the majority of this is used to pay bureaucrats, the buildings, the departments, the functioning of the government, as well as obviously some goods and maintenance and so forth. So the government raised nearly $5 trillion in 2024, but the government spent 6.75 trillion in 2024. The official yearly deficit in 2024 was 1.83 trillion. See, that's the problem. But the money will continue to flow in, you understand? The money will continue to flow in. Now, most of the money the government gets comes from individual taxpayers, small businesses and corporations through income taxes. Additional sources of tax revenue consist of excise taxes, estate taxes and other taxes and fees. Now, you also pay another 34% of what the government takes in Social Security and Medicare taxes. Now, most of you pay The Medicare taxes 100%. Social Security is paid in part by you and your employer. So that's another 34% or 84% of the federal revenue in many cases a direct taxation on you. They have trillions of dollars, $5 trillion. Now, revenue also comes from payments to federal agencies, the Department of Interior, you know, for leasing land and for herding, for drilling and so forth and so on your national park. The fees it charges. Little stuff. Little stuff. So you have significant massive federal revenue. And it's going up and up and up, almost $5 trillion. But you have significant massive spending like mankind has never known. Six and three quarters trillion. A lot of that came from the spending by the Democrats and the so called Inflation Reduction act which had nothing to do with it. A massive boondoggle around $2 trillion. That blew up the budget, blew up the economy with inflation and is still lingering. It's still lingering. Now this Federal. In fiscal 2024, federal revenue was equal. Revenue Revenue was equal to 17% of the total gross domestic product. Well, how much was the gross domestic product? It was 28.95 trillion. In other words, $29 trillion. That's a lot. 17% of the government's revenue, or excuse me, the government's revenue. 17% of that came straight out of the economy. Straight out of the economy. Massive. And that means that spending of the gross domestic product is around 19%. So what does that mean? Let's just round it off. The 20%. That means of all the money spent in the United States, the federal government out of every dollar, spent about 20 cents of every dollar, spent 20 cents of every dollar. And the Democrats wanted to spend more. They want $1.5 trillion more in one four month period, America in one four month period. What will that do to inflation? What will that do to the value of our currency? It'll tank them. And for what? Illegal aliens? Their health care? Come on, stick with me. This is a do nothing Democrat party that wants to sink this country financially by revolution with these Marxist Islamists. How can you look at this and say they love America? How can you? You can't. In my opinion. That's why I wrote the book the Democrat Party Hates America. You know why? Because the Democrat Party hates America. Shutdowns over the last 50 years and yet we survived. How's that possible? How's that possible? 1976, the government shut down under Gerald Ford in the Democratic Congress for 11 days. 1977 under Jimmy Carter, 12 days. 1977 again under Jimmy Carter, eight days. 1977 again under Jimmy Carter, eight days. 1978 under Jimmy Carter, 17 days. Hello? 1979 under Jimmy Carter, 11 days. 1981 under Reagan, two days. 1982 under Reagan, one day. 1982 again under Reagan, three days. 1983 under Reagan, three days. 1984 under Reagan, two days. Another 1984 under Reagan, one day. 1986 under Reagan, one day. 1987 under Reagan, one day. 1990 under George H.W. bush, four days. 1995 under Bill Clinton, five days. 1996 under Clinton, 21 days. 2013 under Barack Milhouse, Benito Obama, 17 days. That was the filibuster led by the great Ted Cruz tried to stop him from this. Obamacare. 2018 under Donald Trump, three days now between Obama notice and Trump. George W. Bush did nothing to try and stop the profligate spending. Nothing. Because he and his buddy Carl and all were so afraid politically of a government shutdown, which we know is not a shutdown. 2018 under Trump, one that lasted several hours. 2019 under President Trump, 35 days. And that's the last of it. And we're here, we've survived. We're here to talk about it. Mr. Producer. We're here to talk about it because you know and you'll be able to tell your neighbors, your friends, your co workers, the government never shuts down. Little aspects of it do. Some of it hurts certain people, most of it hurts nobody. And the government itself tries to make it hurt as much as possible. Of course the government, so called shutdown. The Democrats will force it because they want to pay for their illegal alien constituency. The same people they let into the country, the same people they refused to deport from the country. And now they want to make sure they have free health care, which of course weaken our health care system. Reduce what's available to you. Longer lines, longer waiting periods for critical medical services and you're paying for it. That's the position of the Democrats. Only then will they not, quote, unquote, shut down the government. So the shutting down of the government is not the end of the world because most of it doesn't shut down the media. And the Democrats and some Republicans will pretend that it does. The Democrats and the bureaucrats will try to make it as painful as possible, but they only have so much to work with. All true and all to blackmail the President for programs that are outrageous and will bankrupt the country down the road. Like health care for illegal aliens. Like able bodied young men and young women doing no work and getting free health care from all of you who do work. Why should you pay for illegal aliens getting health care? Or fellow Americans who sit their fat asses on a sofa, watch TV all day and don't even try to get a job, even a voluntary position for 20 hours a week. 20 hours a week. The Democrats want to reverse that requirement that the Republicans put back in because Biden and Obama took it out. Some minimal work requirement. Oh, that's just too much. You must be against people having health care. And that's the way that goes, that propaganda. So the money keeps flowing into the feds, about $400 billion a month while they cry, they are broke. The essential services of the government pay attention to this point. It is important, will be paid. The $5 trillion will continue to flow into the government, but they've spent way beyond that and they want the money to continue to spend way beyond it. But Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits, law enforcement, military, all these other things, they continue to march along. They continue to march along. I do love what the president wants to do and is going to do. He's going to punish the big government Democrats, obviously he's going to say, well, since you're, you're not passing a budget, I can't spend money. I can only spend money to the level in which the money comes in. But all this other money I can't spend, all this deficit spending and so forth. Therefore I have to fire people. And now what we'll do is we'll target certain agencies, certain programs and so forth and so on. Most of them radical, most of them having nothing to do with nothing, many of them counterproductive, if not outright problematic, and we'll cut them. Thank you for the opportunity. That's the genius of this president. I'll be right back. The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow. And it's more critical now than ever that we train up the next generation to fearlessly defend conservative values.

You're going to be fine. You're going to hear the fear mongering the scare mongering, the threats. Relax. You can't let The Democrats give $1.5 trillion, much of it to their buddies. Break our healthcare system, you're going to hear nothing but lies. What I call negative language to support agitprop. Our friend Jimmy Agitprop. Lenin, 1902. Now it's relevant. That's what you're going to hear. You're going to hear lives. And just if you don't have a pair of earplugs, go buy a pair of earplugs or put some headphones on or earbuds in or whatever it is. Just, just. Or put the TV on. Watch the Gem Shopping Network. I always enjoy that myself. It's a relief. Well, we do have a breaking story here that I want to bring to your attention from our friends at the Daily Wire. Utah State University. That is where Charlie was assassinated, right, Rich? The building was evacuated due to suspicious device ahead of a TPUSA event. Authorities issued an emergency evacuation order at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, Tuesday. That would be today after a suspicious device, quote unquote, was found just hours before a Turning Point USA event was scheduled to take place on campus. TP USA founder Kirk was supposed to peak there. We know what happened on September 10th. He was assassinated. And this was the first Turning Point USA hosted event in the state since the assassination. Utah state universities run 120 miles. It's a different university, actually. It's. Yeah, the correction, Utah Valley is where Charlie Kirk was assassinated. This is 120 miles north of that new video posted on social media by local news outlet KSL tv. Police are heard yelling fire in the hole. Before a loud explosion is heard. That is they're blowing up the device. The building that was evacuated was not where the Turning Point event was set to take place, but was at the university. A different university, but in Utah nonetheless. I'm telling you what, it is crazy out there. It is dangerous. Absolutely dangerous. And 90% of it, if not more, is going one way. It's the left. I don't care what these others morons have to say. That's what it is. You see the speech by the President of the United States with the generals and the admirals. He was very supportive, said, I'll have your backs. You see the Hegset speech too. That was unbelievable. This is really remarkable administration. It really is. I just think the cabinet is second to none. Young, vigorous, motivated. They think outside the box. You don't even have to agree with everything. But look what the President has done just today. Just today. Addressing the generals and admirals in our country, addressing childhood cancer and tying it to AI advancements, addressing the prices of drugs. Whether you agree with what he's doing or not, he's jumping in. He's having to deal with this potential central government issue. And of course, he just came off this, this peace deal in the Middle east one day. This segment of the podcast is exclusively sponsored by Pure Talk.

Broadcasting him from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 8778-738138-11877-381-3811. Ladies and gentlemen, the Democratic Socialists of America are, among others, the enemy within. They're not democratic and they're not socialists and they have nothing to do with supporting America. The entire nomenclature of this entity is intended to mislead. That's the nature of the Marxists and the Islamists. This is the party of the Marxists and the Islamists fused together under this so called Democratic Socialists of America party. This is why you see Bernie Sanders campaigning for this guy. This is why AOC fully supports this guy. The Democratic Party is irrelevant. This is the Democratic Socialists of America. Now it is the Marxist Islamist party, which means it is a facade to overthrow the country. It is a facade to overthrow our economic system. It is a facade to overthrow and destroy our culture and our civil society. That's what it is. You can use words like affordability and whatever other words they want. The Democratic Socialists America want you to listen to this hat tip canary mission on Twitter on x cut21go.

You've heard of Zahran Mamdani, the charismatic socialist who's running for New York City mayor. Behind Mamdani's success stands the Democratic Socialists of America, or dsa, a group that molded his campaign from the very beginning.
- [41:47]
A
I decided I had to join dsa.
- [41:49]
C
The DSA has become a pro Hamas, anti American group that supports some of the most dangerous ideologies and figures in modern history. On 7 October, while the massacre of Israelis was in full force, the DSA International Committee applauded Hamas. They called the murder, rape and kidnapping of civilians resistance. On October 8, DSA held a rally where they gleefully cheered and celebrated the massacre that had just occurred. DSA even argued that there are no such things as Israeli civilians de facto giving their approval for their murder. As their radicalization intensified, the DSA Liberation Caucus openly endorsed the brutal murder of a young couple outside the Jewish Museum in D.C. calling for the murderer to be freed, referring to his actions as righteous and justified. DSA members mocked and celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Support for terrorism and murder runs deep within the dsa.
- [43:09]
A
You know, I can think of no.
- [43:10]
C
Images like more stirring and heroic than the resistance fighters.
- [43:14]
A
They make figures like Hamas and quote unquote terrorists. There are actual terrorists in the United States. The terror comes from the capitalists and their pawns.
- [43:26]
C
For the dsa, Israel is only the stepping stone. The real target is America. They loathe the very idea of America, denouncing it as empire.
- [43:36]
A
The DSA has to actually be serious. Like we have to concretely be an actual threat to empire.
- [43:43]
C
The most important thing that we can do is take that empire down from within.
- [43:47]
A
Ultimately to overthrow our own empire, we.
- [43:50]
B
Need a movement that can drive a snake through the heart of empire.
- [43:53]
A
We need to orient ourselves towards insurrection. We know how to fight now because we are all fighters.
- [44:01]
C
In the words of the co chair of Philly dsa. They want to build a communist party unifying colonized people to start to attack the walls of empire, to prepare for its final destruction. This is the organization behind Zoran Mamdani. These are the people who put him on the map. All of his top advisors align with the ideology of the movement and they are laying the groundwork to elect more DSA politicians and eventually take over the Democratic Party.
- [44:36]
A
We collaborated with the Zoran Mandani campaign. We wrote the platform with him. It comes out of our membership organization. We can have people likes Iran all over the country. We can run a thousand sovereigns across the country.
- [44:49]
C
The DSA made Mamdani, don't let them destroy America.
- [44:58]
A
Now that's incredibly effective and very, very important because it lays it out. It's what I've been saying. Mandami supports terrorism. That's why he will not denounce Hamas. Mandami's party supports terrorism. They support Hamas and they support what hamas did on October 7. Mandami's party supports the overthrow of the United States government, the overthrow of our capitalist system. These are not liberals. These are not old time Democrat Party operatives. These are Marxist Islamists. I come to you behind this microphone and I say over and over again that people like Tucker Carlson and his ilk, they're distracting our country, they're undermining our country while we're trying to deal with these true real threats, these enemies from within. They're obsessed with their hatred for Jews and Israel and Netanyahu in particular, because Netanyahu stands up to them and fights them. And you'll notice from time to time this cabal stabs the President in the back. Again, not friendly disagreement, that he should be impeached. This clown, David Smith, who's a so called comedian, I haven't heard anything funny out of his big mouth. And others, and others, these are, these are, in my view, grifters, these are podcasters. These are phonies and frauds, miscreants and malcontents. A grave distraction to conservatives and Republicans and people who aren't members of the Democratic Socialist Party, AKA Marxist Islamists. But if he's elected in New York, I've even had a good friend, and you know his name and I'm not going to mention it, say to me, well, it's okay, because they can only win New York, they can only win the cities. And I'm thinking, excuse me, we're going to let Marxists, Islamists who want to overthrow our country win the cities. You got to fight these people for every inch, every inch of every part of the country. We need to oppose them. There's no silver lining in this. I hear Republicans talk about like there's a. So there's no silver lining in this. And it's an excuse for not confronting them and taking them on. You have to have the guts to take on the Mandamis, the Bernie Sanders, the AOCs, but also the Katarlsons and the Owens and so forth. You have to take them all on because you won't recognize your country if any of them succeed. Any of them. But Mandami is a very radicalized individual. His father is a, is a Marxist Islamist who preaches revolution from his tenured position at Columbia University. And his mother was funded in large measure by the Qatari regime, who we now love. They're so close to us, they're our friends. Now here he is lying on the constipated news network that he's not a communist. Well, of course he's a communist. If it walks like a communist, quacks like a communist, it's a communist. Cut. 19. Go.

Last time you were on this program, you were unequivocal in saying you do not like capitalism, but Trump just, in those remarks there, I counted, called you a communist eight times.
- [48:47]
A
Are you? No. Can you stop a minute? Is this the way you ask a question? Why don't you, rather than attacking Trump all the time? These bad, these fools on sin, these bastards are sick. They're sick. They're just sick. Can't you confront this guy, go over his record in his statements like a real journalist? No, I'm a democratic socialist. Go ahead, List. I've said that time and again. And I think it reflects the fact that whereas those critiques, whereas that identity would have been enough for Donald Trump in the past. On and on about Donald Trump and this is what he does. He goes, this is what Marxist Islamists do. They throw shiny objects out there. So you chase them while they're gaining power, consolidating power, imposing power and so forth and so on. There's nothing democratic about these people in the dictionary understanding about what democratic means. Forget about party, that means the people's participation. Should he get elected, he'll be elected by a minority of the voting eligible population, which means he'll be even a smaller percentage of the overall population and he will impose his will. And I was discussing this with my wife the other, the other evening, and we've talked about this too. Mao, Lenin, Castro, Chavez, all the other butchers, they didn't leave. They didn't lead mass movements where a majority or even a significant plurality the population rose up to overthrow these various governments and regimes. No matter how bad you think those prior governments or regimes were or were, in fact, it was a minority. The population, 25, 30% of the people backed it. The vast majority of these people weren't peasants. They didn't come out of even working classes. Some of them were professors, some of them teachers, some of them very highly educated. Lenin, Mao Castro was a lawyer. It's the top down. That's what they do. Hamas had one election and then they didn't have another election. Abbas, that clown, that fraud, that terrorist with the Palestinian Authority, he had one election. They haven't had another election. What they'll do if and when they take over New York is they're going to try and enshrine and institutionalize and make permanent their agenda. You watch. They will even change the voting system more if they can, and they can. He'll have the city council too. All a bunch of nut jobs. Pull up your own nut jobs. I'm a democratic socialist. Oh, okay. I mean, that should be bad enough, right? But he's not. He's a hardcore, hardcore Islamist communist that I've written about on, on power that I've discussed with you many, many times. That's what he is. No matter how much the idiot Aaron Barron, Aaron Burnett at the Constipated News Network and Trump calls. You just use his own words. Now, I'm going to play that audio you heard. It's a video. But that audio you heard after the bottom of the hour so you can call your friends and tell them you got to listen to Levin show. If you're going to listen to it, at least listen to it 10 minutes from now so you can hear again exactly what New York is dealing with. And quite frankly, America is dealing with. Look at dear Bornistan overtaken. Look at Minneapolis, overtaken. Look at parts of New Jersey overtaken. Look. I mean, it's going on in front of your eyes right now. Right now. I'll be right back.

The surrendering of our academic institutions to radical Marxist Islamist faculty to teachers unions has had dire consequences. The devouring of our media by lackeys for the Democrat Party and the guests that they bring on, many of whom are American haters, have had consequences. Have had consequences. The failure to confront individuals who we thought used to be allies in the media. Friends, rational conservatives who have turned out to be bigots, grifters, some on the payroll of the enemy. We haven't confronted them fast enough. Some people still won't confront them. Folks, you have no idea how many people whisper to me, text me, email me, call me every day complaining about these people, but don't have the balls to speak out against them or to post anything against them, or to post or retweet links about them. It's incredible to me. Why are they whispering to me? I'm the point of the spear. I'm the one who's been battling this, am I not Mr. Producer? The hate that is aimed at me is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Red blooded American. But I can handle it. I just turn it off, I don't read it. That's how I handle it. It's no big deal. And they are all thin skinned, by the way. There's no politician who should be platforming these people. None. I don't care who they are. There is no public figure in broadcasting or podcasting who should make excuses for these people or split hairs about them. See, we have something that free societies, many didn't have, that we have now a history within the last 80 to 100 years that we can look at, that warns us, that sends us messages. That's the great reason we go over history. There are movements afoot that seek to destroy you and your family and your job and your lifestyle and your faith. You should be upset and concerned about how few people in conservative talk radio, how few people on network and cable TV are confronting this. It should bother you a lot because you rely on us, people like me, to help deal with this, to help us get through something like this, to help us conquer something like this. Silence in the face of evil to me is a sin. When you're granted a microphone or a camera and access to other people, people want to get known. They write, they speak, they want attention, they want audiences. Then by God, do something important. Lots more. We're going to play that audio when we return, so let everybody know. I think it's incredibly compelling about Mondami, about his Marxist Islamist party, democratic socialism. Excuse me. We'll call it what it is. Not the fakers out there. I'll be right back. Our society works because of the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.

He's tough as hell, but I like him. I love him. Call in now. 877-381-3811. This is where the truth talks and the bull, bull walks. If you want to hear bull, you got a thousand choices out there. Podcasters, radio hosts, tv. A thousand choices. You know, it takes a little bit of guts to listen to this program, doesn't it, Mr. Producer? It really does. It takes a little bit of guts, a willingness to know exactly what's going on and who's doing what. There's not another host in America that does what I do. And I'm not saying that to brag. I'm saying that as a matter of fact, I wish it wasn't true. I wish there were hundreds of us. You realize how much better the country would be? A lot better. But this is where I speak the truth. Now you might say, well, that's the truth according to you. No, it's the truth. What people are saying. I play the audio, I read the articles to you. I tell you what they're saying. Some things are just the truth. They're fact. They're evidence based. Now I have opinions too. Look at me wrong. But if someone's a bigot, they're a bigot. If someone's a communist or a communist, if somebody's an Islamist or an Islamist, if it walks like an Islamist and quacks like an Islamist, it's an Islamist. Same with Marxists. Same with grifters. It is what it is. If people have so much difficulty explaining why they platform bigots, then you should stop listening to them. The reason they're platforming them is because they Agree with them. That doesn't mean I agree with everything. But you agree. I'll give you an example. How many of you would hang around bigots? How many of you would hang around racists? How many of you would hang around anti Semites? How many? None of you red blooded, patriotic Mr. And Mrs. America out there. You want nothing to do with them. I want nothing to do with them. You don't platform them, you don't call them your friend. And from public figures, that's the minimum. What they should be doing is openly denouncing them. You can't count on one hand the number of radio hosts who have the guts to call these people out. Not on one hand. Not on one hand. What's happened to conservative talk radio? Where is it? You know who I would be standing by? Who would be leading the pack? It would be Rush Limbaugh. Everybody says they want to be Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh was their hero. Then pay attention to what he did and what he said. God knows I did. That's why we were best friends, F. Lee Levin. And we miss Rush badly. Badly. So you stuck with me. I want to tell you about a fantastic, fantastic group. A fellowship on a mission. The anniversary of Israel's October 7th is seven days away. Two years ago. Two years ago in this day, the world came together, much of it anyway, in honor of the 12,000 souls that were horribly tortured and raped and murdered, dismembered. So many were taken into captivity. Many are still in captivity. A day to stand with family members whose grief is inconsolable. What happened two years ago also unleashed the Jew haters, the Israel haters. They're all out of the closet now. These anti Semitic threats and deadly acts of violence are immense. They're constant. I have three examples in our own country and probably so many under the radar today. And look at Europe. It looks like the 1930s in Europe right now. It certainly does with the modern Nazis, the Islamists, among others, the weak, feckless quizzling governments over there and here, the weak, feckless podcasters and radio hosts who don't speak out. They're afraid. They're afraid they'll lose their jobs. They're afraid they won't get ratings. They're afraid you'll turn on them. It's quite the opposite. It's the opposite. I want to play again for people who didn't hear it. People come and go from a radio show, unfortunately, but that's the way it works. I want to play for you a video that was put together by Canary Mission and it's on Twitter. It's on X. But the Democratic Socialists of America, they're not Democratic Socialists of America. They're Marxist Islamists. They hate America. They are communists. They support terrorism. They celebrated October 7th. They celebrate Hamas as a resistance movement. They hate you. They hate our country. They want to overthrow our country. They've destroyed our colleges and universities. They're taking aim at our government slash public schools. This is serious, serious, serious. They have the useful idiots, the grifters on the right and they have the activists on the left. Cut 21 go.

You've heard of Zahran Mamdani, the charismatic socialist who's running for New York City mayor. Behind Mamdani's success stands the Democratic Socialists of America, or dsa. A group that molded his campaign from the very beginning.
- [66:55]
A
I decided I had to join dsa.
- [66:57]
C
The DSA has become a pro Hamas, anti American group that supports some of the most dangerous ideologies and figures in modern history. On 7 October, while the massacre of Israelis was in full force, the DSA International Committee applauded Hamas. They called the murder, rape and kidnapping of civilians resistance. On October 8, DSA held a rally where they gleefully cheered and celebrated the massacre that had just occurred. DSA even argued that there are no such things as Israeli civilians de facto giving their approval for their murder. As their radicalization intensified, the DSA Liberation Caucus openly endorsed the brutal murder of a young couple outside the Jewish Museum in D.C. calling for the murderer to be freed, referring to his actions as as righteous and justified. DSA members mocked and celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Support for terrorism and murder runs deep within the dsa.
- [68:18]

You know, I can think of no images like more stirring and heroic than the resistance fighters. They make figures like Hamas and quote unquote, terrorists. There are actual terrorists in the United States. The terror comes from the capitalists and their pawns.

For the dsa, Israel is only the stepping stone. The real target is America. They loathe the very idea of America.

C
In the words of the co chair of Philip dsa, they want to build a communist party unifying colonized people. To start to attack the walls of Empire, to prepare for its final destruction. This is the organization behind Zoran Mamdani. These are the people who put him on the map. All of his top advisers align with with the ideology of the movement and they are laying the groundwork to elect more DSA politicians and eventually take over the Democratic Party.
- [69:45]
A
We collaborated with the Zora Mamdani campaign. We wrote the platform with him. He comes out of our membership organization. We can have people like Zoran all over the country. We can run a thousand Zorans across the country.

The DSA made Mamdani. Don't let them destroy America.

It's too bad 100 million dead human beings later. This is what happens when it comes to ignorance. This is what happens when history isn't taught. Propaganda and indoctrination are taught. BS is taught. Over the week in the Wall Street Journal writes Jim Garrity offered a deeply reported analysis of the young socialists who are fueling the Democrat Party's lurch to the left in the past years, tracing it back to economic anxieties of the Great Recession. You know what amazes me like this is the only generation that's had economic anxiety. Oh, woe is me. You pick your ass up and you go do something about it. You don't attack the whole country. You don't attack everybody else. You don't blame capitalism. Look in the mirror. No generation has been handed anything. None. Well, this one somewhat, but no other. A woe is me. Woe is me. Economic hardship. Economic hardship. This isn't the great Depression. This is ridiculous. The excuses. Now, let's go on. There's an eye opening description of a meeting of communists in Philadelphia. Wow. Philadelphia, birthplace of the country where communists are meeting. It says on a recent evening, 15 comrades from the northwest Philadelphia cell of the revolutionary communists of America. How do you think Monda me would feel about this group? He would love them. That's the point. Gathered for their weekly meeting in a classroom at Thomas Jefferson University. Is that not ironic, Mr. Producer? The mostly 20 and 30 somethings have eschewed or skewed the mal caps and Che Guevara T shirts of previous generations. Soon, though, terms like ruling class, parasitic bourgeoisie, dialectic were bandied about the room. This is Karl Marx, basically. As they settled into an earnest discussion of the assigned reading, an article entitled morality in the class struggle. It's amazing. It's amazing. They'll never read a book called American Marxism that'll set them straight. I'm sure you have that. References to the 2008 crisis were also plentiful. What 2008 crisis? Did we have a crisis in 2008 anyway? Several members invoked it when explaining what prompted them to ditch the milk toast left, as one called it. Zach Packel, 34, blamed the crisis for taking his father's job, causing his community in central Pennsylvania to be whittled away. The system never really recovered from 2008, said Nico Melton, 25, who claimed to have become disillusioned while studying at the Wharton School, the University of Pennsylvania, the capitalist bastion that is Trump's alma mater. Melton was one of just a few members who, when the cell was formed about a year ago, times the meeting felt like a support group, in this case for people suffering from the modern economy. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, so let's destroy America. Communism, they acknowledge, hadn't worked anywhere in the world that had been attempted, at least not yet. That's out of my book of meritopia, Right out of there, which I wrote many years ago, right after Liberty and tyranny. Every communist leader has been a butcher, every damn one of them. They've destroyed their societies, every damn one of them. And they always say, well, it's never really been tried. Or the communist leader who did it, he had defects. We don't mean. Bernie Sanders pulls his crap, you understand? Here they are meeting in Philadelphia from the Wharton School. Means he's not from a poor family, of course. Oh, the economy is hurting us. Let's destroy the whole country. Israel is at war with Iran, a nation whose leaders have vowed to wipe Israel and even the United States off the map. In a necessary act of self defense, Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities, military targets and top leadership. Right now, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid and emergency kits, especially to Israel's most vulnerable people, the sick, the elderly, children and families in great need. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is also making sure that hospitals, emergency rooms and shelters are fully stocked with critical and life saving medical supplies. But the Fellowship needs your most generous gift today to make this work possible. Now is the time, ladies and gentlemen, to stand with Israel's most vulnerable to rush your gift. Call 888-585-IFCJ and donate today. That's 888-585-IFCj or online at levinforthefellowship.org that's Levin for the fellowship.org he's here. He's here now broadcasting them from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin. Hello, America. Mark Levin Here, our number, 877-3813, 811-877-3813, 811. I want, I want to finish this piece in National Review by Jim Garrity and in this meeting of young Communists in Philadelphia. At times, the meeting felt like a support group, in this case for people suffering from the modern economy. Of course, they never suffer from economic woes in communist nations, do they? Communism, they acknowledged, hadn't worked anywhere in the world that had been attempted, at least not yet. So Garrity observes. Now I just want you to take a moment to savor the off the charts arrogance, to look at the entire evil history of communism with its gulags, secret police invasions, wholesale suppression of dissent and free speech, political prisoners, forced labor camps, the Holodomor, the Great Purge, the Cultural Revolution in China, the Cambodian genocide, and modern day North Korea. And then to conclude, yes, but we can make it work better. It will be different when we do it. And this is Mandani. Every previous group of Communists has been equally convinced that this time everything will turn out differently. Concentrating massive amounts of power in the state won't lead to the corruption of those running it. No, no, no, no. The stifling of dissent will be for the greater good. The state punishment of those who disagree will be fair and not abusive and a worker's paradise five year plan away. It be funny if it didn't represent such willful blindness and if people like this weren't gaining more strength in the modern Democrat Party. That's what I mean. You can't dismiss this. This is a problem. It's a big problem and I'm not going to dismiss it.

I mean, you've got this going on in the biggest city in America and in other cities, Dearborn, AKA Dearbornistan. So here you have a mayor who's a proud Islamist police chief who's a proud Islamist. He said he counseled the vast majority of which proud Islamists. Dearborn, Michigan, isn't that the birthplace of the Ford Motor Company? I believe it is. And so they, they, they play the, the morning prayer at 5 in the morning. You know, the call to the morning prayer. And five times a day. So this pastor goes to a council meeting where the mayor is there, I guess he's the head of the council, whatever, doesn't matter. And he raises concerns about this or something related to it. And the Islamist mayor tells the pastor, you're not welcome here. You're not even welcome in our community. Get out. Mm. Got that. You won't hear that from Katarlson and his ilk. You certainly won't hear it from Andami and AOC and Taliban, Omar and Sanders and their ilk. There's many injustices going on. Civil liberties violations, racism and bigotry, American hatred, Jew hatred. It's going on all over the country. And people just want you to believe it'll just happen in these pockets and then it'll just happen in the big cities and. Well, then it'll just happen in blue states and. No, no, no, that's, that's the way it works when you're losing your country. That's how it works when you're losing your country. And what are we going to do when Donald Trump's gone? There's nobody else who can do what Donald Trump does. Nobody. Nobody. Even. He's being blocked by these courts and so forth. Despite his best efforts. He's got tenacity like nobody else. What are we going to do? It's very worrisome. There's a handful of Republicans, I would say, who would fight this. And they're the ones speaking out now. Desantis, Cruz, Cotton, Graham, a handful of Republican, maybe, maybe more than that. But you're not hearing many others, are you? You're not even hearing them on radio and tv. People who you rely on, people you expect to call this out. They're not. And if they mention it, it's in passing. It's timidity, in my opinion. Timidity. You can't be timid at a time like this. You just cannot. It's stand up and be counted. That's what it is. By the way, Mr. Producer, as an aside, my mind goes, you know, a million miles a second. Have the Giants had any win yet? Do you even know? I don't think so. Double check that. Did the jets have anyone yet? No. Giants are 1 and 3. What about the Jets? What are they. Yeah. Oh, and four. You know what? That's a disgrace, that in New York City got two football teams and one victory. Has that ever happened before? I don't know. But honestly, that is a. Look, I'm from Philadelphia, but I love New York. That's where I got my start. I love my Eagles, I love my Phillies, I love my Flyers. But the truth is, I love New York, too. All right. That's what I said. Anyway. I mean, the Giants trade away one of their best players in the division to my Eagles. And by the way, thank you. They didn't trade them away. They let him go. Thank you very much. Thank you. I don't mean to get off quote unquote topic, not that I have to be on quote unquote topic, but I'm just thinking about this. It's crazy. The jets and the Giants, they have one victory among. Then the Mets fell off the table, didn't they? They your Mets? Aren't they your team? No, you're the. They're your team right now. They were in number one in the division at half season and then they just kept losing. They collapsed and the Phillies kept winning. The second best record in the league. I know it's not sports talk. I'm not Stephen A. Smith. I don't pretend to be Stephen A. Smith. He's like the Rain man when it comes to sports. It's one of the reasons I like to have him on. He wants to talk politics and guy. I understand all that, but his greatest strength is in. Is in athletics. There's no question about it. By the way, he used to write for the Philadelphia Inquiry. He wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer. For a long time. Writes beautifully, by the way. Writes beautifully. Here we have from the New York Post. Zoe can't dis say sorry. Apology to cops would anger the left. He's trying to conceal his true nature. This is of course what they do. Castro did it, Lenin did it. Mal not so much. But some of the others have done it. I'm worried about affordability. We found a word, the words, slogans, sloganeering, as I write in on power. That's what they do, slogans. And they create these unrealities like you're going to have free transportation. Now everybody knows that's a disaster. Nothing's free. Somebody has to pay. The people who drive the buses and run the subways and clean them. And who's going to pay? Oh, the billionaires. There's not going to be any billionaires left. They're all going to be in Florida paying taxes in Florida. Not income taxes, but property taxes and sales taxes. So you're not going to have billionaires. You hate billionaires. Good for you. There won't be any billionaires. Mondami. So then, then what are you going to do? What he's always going to do. He's going to screw you, the average working people in New York. But you know, the problem with the voting base in New York is the people who are voting for Mondami are either these very wealthy self hating capitalists or people who've inherited their money or for whom people the money came, came easy to some of these or whatever the reason, they're really psychos. And then depending on what neighborhoods you drive through, you see some very poor people and so forth. So they'll have a combination of this. The very wealthy of the sort that I spoke about, not all very wealthy. Some very wealthy are actually very smart. Some are very stupid just like everybody else. You're going to have sort of the lower echelon and then you're going to have young people. Hey, he's right about affordability, you know.

And really communism hasn't really been tried properly, you know. It hasn't been tried and now it hasn't. And I'm tired of working a 40 hour week. Why should I be working 40 hours for the man, for the system. I don't want to work 40 hours a week. I'll be right back. Mud lovin With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago, is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal strong security. But Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate megastores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Durbin's failed policies before his last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs and fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late.

Or was. That's where your Declaration of Independence was drafted and voted on the second Continental Congress and of course the Constitutional Convention. After the Revolutionary War victory, the Constitution was debated and drafted and voted on in the same place. Isn't that amazing? Independence hall in Philadelphia, where they just had a meeting of these young communists and not just that, they raised a Chinese flag at the City hall in Philadelphia. A Chinese flag as if conquering the city for the Communist Chinese on behalf of the Communist Chinese. James lynch the city where the US Constitution was ratified held a flag raising ceremony Tuesday. That would be today. Tanner, America's chief geopolitical adversary. So sick. Sick. Philadelphia is defending its decision to hold a flag raising ceremony for China at City hall on the grounds that the ceremony honored the cultural heritage of one of the city's immigrant communities rather than the Chinese government. I've been the Chinatown in Philadelphia. I don't even remember the communist Chinese flag flying there because a lot of the people there are first, second, third generation that escaped communist China. The flag racing ceremony was approved. Hold on now. Through the Philadelphia Honors Diversity flag raising program. I wonder who's in charge of that and how much they get paid. Mr. Baduza. The Philadelphia Honors Diversity Flag Raising Program. Only two flags are banned. The American flag and the Israeli flag. I guarantee it. Oh yeah. It was established in 2018 to celebrate the cultural heritage and contribution of cities immigrant communities. Philadelphia City Solicitor Renee Garcia said in a statement provided to National Review. These ceremonies are not official endorsements. Of course not. Of course not. Just that the city flags flies these flags. It's not official. You understand? This is sick in Philadelphia. I mean seriously folks, the hell is going on in this country. And these people will get elected and elected and reelected. These are one party cities. One party cities. Let's go to Dave Artesia, New Mexico on the Mark Levin app. Dave, how are you my friend?
- [91:29]
B
I am doing great. And yourself?
- [91:32]
A
Let me look at. Spectacular.
- [91:34]
B
Thank you man, I'm so glad. Hey, I just wanted to call and I had read a quote the other day from Karl Marx and I can't remember which book it was in but he had said that socialism is just a near transition phase between capital.
- [91:51]
A
I think that's in my book.
- [91:55]
B
It's somewhere between that because socialism doesn't work. So. And I knew you'd know where it was.
- [92:02]
A
Well, I have it in at least three books, different quotes about that. And what he said, and let me just explain it, is he hated socialism and socialists because he said they weakened the communist revolution, the push for communism. And so that was his original position. So he was constantly battling these so called socialists in Europe and then he decided to sort of change course and he said socialism is the last phase before communism. And so he, he rested on that. There's many contradictions in Marx and Engels. Many. This is one of them. But that's what he said. Make sense? Not really, but makes sense that he said it.
- [92:53]
B
Well, it makes sense that he said it. I didn't know the full quote, but it just made sense that socialism is not going to work and it is just a stepping stone between the two.
- [93:03]
A
And I explained in my book A Meritopia and elsewhere that this argument. Oh, it just wasn't tried. Communism, you know, you had the bad guy in front. I explained that they would always make that argument. Now of course people say, even these young people who are communists, well, it wasn't really tried, you know, we can do better with it and so forth and so on. Thank you for your call, my friend. Look, there's a couple of main problems with communism. Stick with me, I'll make it real easy. I'll give you the fingernail sketch here, the thumb sketch. Number one, it's an impossibility. If you want a workers paradise, it's America where the workers, quote unquote, make up our vast middle class and earn more money and have more security than the wealthiest people in 98% of the rest of the world. If you wanted to be an assembly line worker, would you want to be an assembly line worker in America or any communist regime? See my point? That's number one. Number two, as the great American industrial revolution showed, these so called workers, I Don't like the word because we're all people. But the workers. The workers have electricity, have clean running water, have automobiles. And I can go on and on and on. Despite all the propaganda about the robber barons and all the rest. That's the truth. And today the workers have more access to more types of food and bread and on and on. You go to a supermarket than any. As I've said repeatedly, wealthy people, kings, queens, emperors of the past, the average American works, excuse me, lives far superior to them. Not because of Marxism, because of capitalism and freedom. So there is no bottom up revolution. Our people, our middle class, fight the wars, fill the police forces, fill ice the border patrol, the FBI and all the rest of the agencies. Hard working Americans to defend the country. So he was wrong about that too. That's why now communism, as Grensky wrote, an Italian communist, the turn of the last century needs to really be imposed from the top down, not the bottom up. Does that sound like a people's paradise to you? Does that sound like democratic socialism to you? There's nothing democratic about it. There's much more. But let me just add this one point, as the music goes. There is no end game for humanity on earth. So when somebody writes about an ideology or philosophy and says we'll have a worker's paradise and all will be fantastic, that can never happen and will never happen. At least not without God. I'll be back. After more than a year of war, terror and pain in Israel, there's still a great demand for basic humanitarian aid. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has supported and continues to support those in the Holy Land still facing the lingering horrors of war and terrorism. And those who are in desperate need right now. Ongoing monthly tax deductible gift of $45 will provide critically needed aid immediately to communities in the north and south devastated by this ongoing war. And your generosity to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews will deliver help to those in need, including evacuees and refugees from war torn areas, first responders and volunteers, wounded soldiers, elderly Holocaust survivors, families who've lost everything and many, many more. You can provide hope during a time of great danger and uncertainty. Give a tax deductible gift to bless Israel and her people. Please go online to levin for the fellowship.org that's L E V I N for the fellowship.org and help them today. That's Levin for the fellowship.org the one man antidote for liberal media bias. Mark Levin. Call it now. Eddie. 3813811 what I was saying When I was rudely interrupted by the break. Marx tells you how humanity will end. He has no idea how humanity will end. The worker's paradise, furthermore, that's not the way human nature works. Humanity will end when there's a worker's paradise. What does that mean? What is a worker's paradise? What the hell does that mean? Paradise for whom? And government, you see, will wither away. Government will wither away. There'll be a workers paradise. Now, hardly. That's absurd. Call government, call it civil society, call it whatever you will. There's evil people. Evil people. You're just going to have a worker's paradise. And that's how that works. So, first of all, there's not an ending to humanity in terms of ideology. We'll all live happily ever after in a worker's paradise. So that's just stupid. The real capitalist industrial revolution took place, really began around 1870, the second industrial revolution. We've talked about this. Well, Marx died before that, so he never really saw the great American industrial Revolution. He saw a. The first one that was minimal. So really, he was not even writing that much about capitalism. He was writing more about agrarian. Agrarianism. Okay, I'm not trying to get in the weeds. I'm just trying to explain how ridiculous this is that people even spew this crap, this nonsensical crap. And yet they do. Let's take a few calls, George. Atlantic City, New Jersey, one of our favorite places. Ventnor, Margate, Ocean City. We love that whole line of towns along the Atlantic Ocean. Julie and I, my wife. Our great affiliate there is wpgg. George, go right ahead, please.
- [100:03]
B
All right. Good evening, Mark. I'm so happy that I am able to listen to you on the radio. I love your show always.
- [100:09]
A
Thank you. Thank you.
- [100:11]
B
You know, it really brought a tear to my eye when I knew that this Chinese Communist flag was flying in Philadelphia, the birthplace of our country. You know, it's. It's so outlandish. Now they do this, apparently, for cultural diversity.
- [100:28]
A
Here we go. Right? So what?
- [100:30]
B
Yeah. You know, do they ever think about the Taiwanese?
- [100:35]
A
Yeah. No, that's too much diversity. You see?
- [100:38]
B
Okay, so you'll never see. That's what we call the line. Yeah, it's sick. It really is.
- [100:44]
A
How about the American flag? I wonder if they do that these days.
- [100:48]
B
No, no, we're not diverse enough. Okay. They would consider that.
- [100:54]
A
It's funny, these people that talk about diversity, when it comes to diversity of opinion, they don't want us to have an opinion. They don't want Us to voice our opinions. They don't want us anywhere. Nowhere.
- [101:05]
B
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. They don't want to hear anything about what we have to say. We just have to have what they have to say. Shove right down our diverse.
- [101:11]
A
Now, do you live in Atlantic City?
- [101:14]
B
Absolutely. I'm overlooking Brigantine as we speak.
- [101:18]
A
Oh my gosh. Beautiful, beautiful deal. Do you live, live in Atlantic City? So you don't live on the ocean, like towards, towards the ocean or do you.
- [101:31]
B
I'm right on the ocean. Yeah.
- [101:34]
A
Very, very nice.
- [101:35]
B
Sit on the Atlantic Ocean from where I am. You know where the inlet is between Atlantic City and Brigantine? I'm right on.
- [101:41]
A
I do. And you know what? The beach there, that beach is so fabulous because it's so big and the sand is soft and it's, it's very nice. I, you know, grew up our summers as a kid there and condominium called the Berkeley condominium. Do you know where that is?
- [101:59]
B
Oh, absolutely.
- [102:01]
A
Right at the end, right next to vendor. Didn't cost that much.
- [102:06]
B
Yeah, the Berkeley is two blocks from vendor.
- [102:08]
A
That's it. And even at the time my parents didn't have a ton of money. They were able to get that and boy, did we take advantage of. We loved it. We went down there every summer, you know, back and forth on the weekends and it was a blast. Do they still have the ice cream guys coming up and down with the big freezers on their backs?
- [102:30]
B
Fudgy, fudgy wagyu.
- [102:33]
A
Yeah, exactly. Do they still have that?
- [102:36]
B
Yes, yes, yes.
- [102:37]
A
Yeah.
- [102:37]
B
I don't know how amazing I do it. They have that heavy thing on their back and they have horrible strap forehead.
- [102:45]
A
And they're all dressed in white because it's hot as hell. I don't even know where they start from. Is there like a low. There's obviously a location where they start. But I remember back then they had the President Hotel. That's gone. The Ritz, not the Ritz Carlton Hotel. That's gone. I remember Million Dollar Pier. That's different completely. I remember all these places. I remember this summer when I was 17 years old. You believe that 51 years ago I broke my forearm by hitting my brother on his leg. And my dad took me into the emergency room there in Atlantic City. And the, and, and, and the guy there, the doctor there said, how'd you do this? So I said, well, I was body surfing in the ocean. Now obviously that's ridiculous. He can't break your arm on the fore forearm. And he looked at me funny. But I Wasn't going to tell him how I did it. So for six weeks that summer in Atlantic City, I had this cast on from my thumb to my bicep. It was brutal. You know, they didn't have waterproof casts or, you know, they said, you know, put. Put paper over it or plastic bag. Well, that would never work. But they're great memory. Do they still have jitneys down there?
- [103:57]
B
Yes, yes. Senior fair. 75 cents.
- [104:01]
A
Geez, that. That's me. Now that's frightening.
- [104:06]
B
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, the jitneys are great.
- [104:09]
A
And you know, you got a great restaurant there. Sorry. America, you're in on my life here. The fork and knife. That place has been around forever, hasn't it?
- [104:17]
B
Yes.
- [104:17]
A
Knife and fork, knife and fork, whatever.
- [104:21]
B
And it's right on the edge of the campus of the city division of Stockton University.
- [104:26]
A
When did that happen? Stockton University, they have all the great real estate. How did that happen?
- [104:32]
B
Yes, Stockton University, which has its main campus out on the mainland on Pomona. There's a. Yeah.
- [104:40]
A
But it has all the rest of this right near the ocean. Who bought all that? How did they do that?
- [104:45]
B
They did that with. With county of Atlantic funds. Because even Stockton University didn't have the funds to get it going.
- [104:55]
A
Well, I can see why. That's prime real estate. So.
- [104:59]
B
And they're going to be expanding it. They're in some kind of a relationship with Rider University and they're going to have two additional buildings built, one for medicine and one for law.
- [105:13]
A
That's fantastic. Well, listen, call again. I'm having a blast here. The rest of the country probably doesn't give a damn, but I love Atlantic City and all those other towns here. It's just fantastic. My brother George, you take care of yourself and call again. We appreciate it very, very much. All right, little bit there. What do you think, Mr. Producer? Mr. Producer fell asleep. Let's go to John Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the Mark Levin app. John, how are you, sir?
- [105:43]
B
Wonderful, Mark. It's a. It's an honor and an actual true privilege that they tell me I had to speak with you tonight.
- [105:50]
A
You're very kind.
- [105:52]
B
By the way, I loved your story. I'm a storyteller and 42 years of nursing. I always told all my newbies, you never ask a patient how they are. You ask them who they are, and then you find out what they really need.
- [106:02]
A
Wow. Good for you.
- [106:04]
B
Hearing them, it works. And so that's why I love hearing about your life, because it helps us know who you are. So thank you for that. Of course, in Milwaukee, I listen to wisn. I have to catch up on podcasts. So if you don't mind if I shift a little bit back to previous.
- [106:21]
A
Yeah.
- [106:22]
B
You were talking about the proposal of the Hamas Israeli peace proposal. And one of the things I would like to addend is to have. And I think that Netanyahu was alluding to this a little bit. But to clarify when he was talking to the Qataris, I would like everyone involved to denounce that apartheid and genocide is being committed by Israel so that all the institutions of our media, my lived neighbors who moved here from Milwaukee to my fine once fine city and you know, and also the institutions of education, they need to hear this because that's what fuels the argument and the hate towards Israel.
- [107:06]
A
And you know, it's amazing the apartheid is in all the Arab countries, every damn one of them.
- [107:11]
B
Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So I think that would be great to denounce and hear this and make sure all these institutions and my neighbors hear this with all their flags flying and signs that say these things. One last thing. I think that UN should never allow anybody to walk out, anyone speaking in full session. That was horrendous.
- [107:31]
A
Now, you know what happened there. The Palestinians put out a note to all the staffers and so they brought in an extra number of staffers, these countries, for the purpose of them walking out. And then I'm told from somebody in the American delegation that most of the ambassadors from the other countries did not walk out. It was their staff that walked out. So it was all a big drama, all a big game. The media falls for it. They don't fall for it. The media loves it. They promote it. But I like your point. You come into that hall, you keep your ass there no matter who's speaking or don't come in. Great call, John. Great call from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We are getting great callers tonight.
- [108:12]
B
Night.
- [108:13]
A
We'll be right back. Mud Love in. Let me give you an update newsworthy. The Democrats voted down the last chance continuing resolution, a clean continuing resolution. So at just before midnight, the government will, quote, unquote, shut down. Don't be nervous. Don't get worried. You don't need to pull the tent out and put it out in the backyard. We went through this. Majority Leader Thune in the Senate says they're going to vote again in the morning. Meanwhile, a letter has gone out to all the agencies heads from the Director of Ombuds, Russell Vaught, informing them these people are to show up and also they are to get in place all the mechanisms for shutting everything down. And I'm sure they have a plan for firing people and eliminating different programs and so forth. At least that's what they said. And I hope they do, because I think that's very smart. Very, very effective. Just make sure you pin it on their foreheads. Let's go to Sandra Gutenberg, New Jersey. How are you, Sandra?
- [109:42]
B
I'm good, Mark. How are you?
- [109:44]
A
Very well, thank you.
- [109:46]
B
Mark, I wanted to tell you. Every day I'm growing more and more resentful because of the double standard we're facing. And what I mean is the ICE agents who need to wear masks to protect themselves from the cartels, the gangs, the threats in the city, getting spit in the face, whatever it is. But why is it, okay, that I see all these people for religious reasons and I respect it and I understand it. Their faces are covered up. All I see are their eyes. In my town, where I live, why is that? Okay? But not this.
- [110:20]
A
First of all, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. It's frightening. The first time I saw this, seven or eight years ago at a mall in Loudoun county, it was one woman. Woman, head to toe, covered, except for two eyes in the mouth. I said, holy mackerel. I mean, seriously. No, don't get me wrong, people are free to practice their faith as they wish. I don't know if that woman's free to do anything, but I thought, wow, it's just incredible to me. Well, of course the answer to that will be that that's their faith and they can do it. But when it comes to ice, you know, they're part of the government. Has nothing to do with faith. But it does have something to do with their security and the security of their family. So I think the question I would ask is why do the Democrats and their ilk want ICE agents harmed and their families harmed? Because they're sick. That's why. Sick in the noggin, sick in the head. They're violent, they're vile, they hate the country. That's why I wrote the book. But I get your point. Yeah. Anything else, my friend?
- [111:29]
B
Thank you so much. No, we're gonna bring to you every night. I learned. I learned so much from you, Mark. And you're so. You're so great. You're one of a kind.
- [111:38]
A
Well, you know, but you know, I've been. I've been told to go. I've been told to go back to Israel. Go back to Israel. I'm an American. I'm a red blooded American. I was born. Now go back to Israel event. Go back to Israel. These are the nudniks, the morons that I have to deal with.
- [111:54]
B
You stay right where you are. We love you right here.
- [111:57]
A
Well, thank you. Thank you. They don't even say, go Back to Virginia, Mr. Producer, when I'm in Florida. Go back to Israel. So many sick bastards out there, it's not even funny. But thank you, patriotic Americans. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, our truckers, the men and women in Ukraine. That's right, I said it. The men and women in Israel. That's right, I said it. And the American people thank God for us. Thank God for you. See you tomorrow.
