It's all quiet in the underground bunker, doors closed, locks bolted. But the Great One isn't just resting on his laurels. He's making sure your weekend is even better by giving you his best. This is the best of Mark Levin. The government shutdown 41 days. The Democrats didn't get a thing out of this. They were blackmailing the Republicans. They were blackmailing the President. They said, we want 1.5 trillion in more spending. We want health care for illegal aliens. We want health care for able bodied Americans who refuse to even volunteer 20 hours a week. We have all kinds of money we want to pour into non governmental organizations on the hard left. All kinds of money for left wing causes. In other words, we want $1.5 trillion back into the budget. That's what we want. And by the way, the Unaffordable Care act, that would be Obamacare. We want hundreds of billions of dollars in additional subsidies for that. Even though the plan could never work. Twelve years ago we told you that all Democrats voted for it, all Democrats supported it, all Republicans voted against it. It is a disaster. They expanded it four years ago to make sure it would collapse even faster. Then they extended it to cover people who were more than four times the poverty level. So it's imploded. And their answer is more money. And by the way, we want it now. Not just a vote. We want an outcome that we demand. And for this, they did what they did. Now, a couple of things about this and I posted on this the other day, Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany all have privatized. All of them. They've all privatized their air traffic control systems. Before there was a tsa, we also had private security at our airports. They didn't have the authority and there certainly weren't as numerous as we have in TSA to ensure our protection after 9 11. But I think we're going to take a very, very good look at privatizing our air traffic control system as well as our TSA. And I'll tell you why. There's two major reasons for this. Number one, 41 days too many who work as air traffic controllers decided that they were tired, the job was too much, that they weren't getting paid anyway. They got to take care of matters at home and they called out sick. That is utterly unacceptable to me. They're in the process of shutting down our air traffic control system. That's what they were doing. Of course you can have sympathy for their situation, but the cops don't do that. The military doesn't do that. Doctors don't do that. Nurses don't do that. When there are issues in specific hospitals or areas of the country or what have you. It's unacceptable, period. And I don't care if I'm going against the grain. I have nothing personal against any of these people. I don't know any of these people. But that's unacceptable. It's a heavily unionized association in 41 days. These guys are tougher than that. These gals are tougher than that. They were tired, worn out. You got to be kidding me. Seriously. They're tired and worn out because people were staying out, sick leave and vacation leave all at once. Say that it pick up where some of their colleagues left off, I suppose. But to me, no great nation can put up with that. 41 days and you collapse and that's that. No, there are men and women in this country who have back breaking jobs, literally back breaking jobs, whether they're working in mines, in construction, God knows what. But to me, this is utterly unacceptable, period. Something needs to be done about it. That's number one. Number two, Bernie Sanders is very upset tonight and I want you to keep something in mind. Seven Democrats and one Independent who's really a Democrat are voting with the Republicans, all but Rand Paul. So that means the overwhelming majority of Democrats still still want to cripple the air system, the air control system, and still don't want to feed the needy under the food stamp program, among other things. Among other things, the Democrats don't care about the little guy. Whether it's illegal immigration, whether it's crime, whether it's this. They created this situation in the first place. They took really a ministerial act that's not controversial, and they blew it up. They blew it up like legislative terrorists. They want the economy to collapse. They want airlines to come to a halt. They don't want to pay the military. They want ICE to surrender. This is a Democrat party. That's what they want. So I ask you a question. More and more takeover the private sector by the federal government. More and more centralization of decisions by the central government. Fewer and fewer Americans in the public sector making these decisions. Instead, we're getting politicians and bureaucrats who are not driven by expertise, who are not driven by public service, but are driven by power and politics. Can you imagine if the entirety of our health care system was run by the government, what these same people would do? Shut down the health care system, make sure doctors and nurses aren't paid, make sure hospitals aren't receiving the monies they need when you have kamikaze Democrats who are prepared to blackmail in order to get what they want to expand their power and further centralize government, removing it further and further from we the people. And you see their mindset, it's on display the last 41 days and beyond. If it wasn't for these eight Democrats, seven Democrats, one phony claims to be an independent, none of this would be resolved. Do you really want Bernie Sanders and Talib and these people to have this kind of power? Because the more power the government gets, the more power they have and the less power you have. If we had the kind of health care system that they demand, top down, iron fisted government run health care, a relative handful of people could shut down the entire system for wages, working conditions or even unrelated to this. Remember the teachers union in Chicago, how they were shutting down the schools, really having nothing to do with their own salaries, but a whole laundry list of radical left wing ideas that they wanted funded. That same mentality applied in healthcare, applied in all federal areas. Can you imagine? 1.5 trillion they wanted to spend. 1.5 trillion. So this should demonstrate, and it won't. But it ought to demonstrate once and for all why you don't centralize services economic decisions in the hands of a relative few power hungry politicians and bureaucrats, especially the mindset of the Democrat Party, which is to burn down our system, burn down our economy, burn down whatever you have to burn down to get what you want. And now we get to hear from the Marxists and Islamists in the Democrat Party who say Schumer needs to go now. I don't understand this one, Mr. Producer. I'm certainly no fan of Schumer. I've been on his ass for a quarter of a century. But Schumer didn't vote for this, did he? No. Schumer didn't agree with the other eight. So Schumer has to go. Schumer is a disgusting person, a disgusting political hacker, there's no question about it. But they want to punish Schumer. Why America? Even though he is a quisling, even though he was silent in the face of Mondami, he did not endorse him. And so it is time to purify. Because that is what Marxists and Islamists do. They purify. It is time to purify. They want a leader in the Senate who is a saboteur. They want a leader in the Senate who will bring down the whole country because they believe that's how they get power. You and I should stick by our conservative principles. We should demand a consideration of the privatization of the FAA and the tsa. We should fight every effort to centralize any further services and decisions of the government to the government from the private sector. As this is more evidence and those those who conducted a sick out because pretty much what happened at the FAA, in my humble opinion, should be punished. Those who stayed, as I believe the President has suggested, should get a bonus. You reward good behavior and you punish bad behavior. Now it's my intention drive from Florida to Virginia tomorrow and to do this radio show, but if not on the air and we'll have a sub if that's the case, it'll be because I can't get a flight back.

It's not on any particular event taking place today or even this week, but it's one of those occasions where I feel we need to have a national conversation, which we do here from time to time. You know, ladies and gentlemen, I write a lot, a lot about our history, ancient history, about freedom and tyranny and totalitarianism, principles that undergird our society, the attacks on these principles. And so it's with almost 25 years of experience behind this microphone and Writing these books and communicating with you every way I can think of that I come to you with a very heavy heart. We've talked about what's going on in this country at some great length. I wrote a book called On Power. Before that I wrote a book called the Democrat Party Hates America. And before that I wrote a book called American Marxism. And unfortunately, this has all come to pass. Now what we have within the Democrat Party is not just a battle between two entities. You're watching the Democrat Party being eaten by a bacteria, by a cancer, by a force with an ideology that is foreign to our nation's ideology and belief system that I've been talking about for some time. That is Marxism and Islamism. And what set the stage for this Marxism and Islamism is the Democrat Party. Its immigration practices, of which there were none. Its constant effort to destroy our founding principles, DEI, CRT, the 1619 Project. The constant relentless rhetoric and propaganda against our institutions. And they have weakened our institutions, intentionally so. They have used our education system to advance ideologies. They have used our education system to empower themselves. They are power hungry and they seek to centralize power. But they have unleashed forces now that they cannot control. Forces that are devouring that party, forces that are devouring their leadership, forces that are devouring their rank and file and replacing the rank and file. The Democrat Party's base is now the Democrat Party's center, its core. You can see it in front of your eyes, how quickly it's transitioning. And these forces that are now devouring the Democrat Party from within have been unleashed by the Democrat Party itself. Hate the country. And they are using language and slogans and propaganda and demagoguery to package their hate for the country. The hate for our founding, the hate for our history, the hate for our belief system as righteous, as liberating, as equality, as affordability. But that doesn't change who they are. They mask it, they camouflage it. But they're out to take us down. And this is spreading and spreading fast. Most of the media ignore it. Ignore it, might hurt ratings, might chase away sponsors. Some of the media participate in it to give platforms to the Marxists and the Islamists and so forth. That's what they do. But it's worse than that. As I've studied Germany, as I've studied Spain, as I've studied other countries in the world, our own country, but mostly them. How? They have civil wars. Some of them are violent, physical civil wars. Some of them are not. There's a reaction that is developed in response to What I just described on the right, not talking about constitutional conservatives, I'm talking about on the right, the radical right. And that reaction is to dei. That reaction is to unbounded immigration. That reaction is to high taxes that destroy productivity and a mentality that is spreading and spreading very fast, very fast. Through the help of podcasters, so called influencers who are grifting off this, are becoming infamous off of this, that can best be described as fascistic. Unfortunately, the world has been here before, but our country is not. We have rejected Marxism and fascism, totalitarianism, but now with a fairly corrupt media and podcasters and so called influencers that become extraordinarily famous and wealthy by promoting one or the other or the battle between the two, we now have voices that reach into cars and homes and the public square promoting this stuff, promoting it. We have a younger generation on the right that is split evenly or worse on the support of this country. We have a younger generation on the left that hates the country. This is the truth. On the left, they blame certain racial groups, certain ethnic groups, certain religious groups like Jews, like Christians for all their problems. That's the Marxist left. On the fascistic right, they blame the Jews, they blame Christians who do not embrace a kind of bigotry, and they attack our institutions too. So the Marxists want to destroy our institutions and the fascists want to destroy our institutions too. The Marxists because they want to replace it, the fascists, because their argument is they don't serve the purpose that they support. And then we have the grifters who give voice to one or the other and promote them. But what is happening, and I've written about this extensively, we've talked about it from time to time, but I really want to crystallize and focus on this. So what is happening now is that support for a nation's founding and founders, support for our declaration and our Constitution is dwindling. It's even starting to collapse with the Marxists wanting to replace it and the fascists claiming they don't work right, so we need to replace it as well. It is almost as if rational, intelligent, substantive debate and discussion are irrelevant, are dismissed on the left. They do not want to hear about it. So they destroy monuments, they destroy our history, they rewrite it, they condemn our founders, they condemn the west, they attack the west and the fascistic right, they attack these institutions as having failed or promoting this counterculture. In many ways they are right in that respect. And then you got to blame, you blame the Jews, you blame traditional conservatives, you blame the Constitution. You blame the founders. This is what's meant by this sort of a you spectrum ideologically that's taking place in our country. You see the overlay of the Marxist fascistic mindset, even though typically one wants nothing to do with the other. However, this is why you'll see a podcast or influencer on the fascistic right. Praise Mandami, almost had a jealousy. See, the Republican Party is not embracing the fascistic right. It's resisting it. Not enough, but it is. The Democrat Party is being devoured by the Marxist left because they would not fight it. And now rather than resist it, they are becoming it. They are becoming it. This really has nothing to do with Israel, has nothing to do with Netanyahu. That war is effectively over. And yet, and yet what is taking place in our country continues. It continues. See the assassination of Charlie Kirk, for God's sake. You see the brutal attack on Turning Point participants the other day by the antifa types, by the left. They've been militarized and in response, I fear you're going to see the same sort of thing happen with the fascistic right. I was told by a local police chief I can't get too detailed because I don't want to reveal it to people who wish harm, that I needed to get security and I needed to get it right away that they would like to know my whereabouts, but that in the end I need to protect myself. We've been told that about our home and our family too. So when the Alex Joneses and the Megyn Kellys and the Tucker Carlsons and the Steve Bannon's, when they attacked me and my faith and my family, it has consequences. Mark Levin 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.

Listening to the Best of Mark Levin. I've encouraged you to take a look at my book American Marxism from four years ago. To get a feel for what's taking place today is actually quite prescient. But it's not hard to be prescient when you're looking at Marxism or fascism or those things because the world has experienced them. The question is here we've not experienced them. And in chapter two I talk about breeding mops. Now, even though I'm writing about American Marxism, as you'll see, it would apply to any kind of ism that is totalitarian in nature. This is chapter two, Breeding Mobs. Many of you have the book Mass movements tend to devour the individual in two ways. Now I want you to be thinking of Monda, Mernie Sanders, you know, AOC Marxism, Islamism. I also want you to be thinking of the fascists and neo fascists who I've been exposing as thoroughly as possible. I want you to be thinking about Fuentes and Bannon, Alex Jones and Tucker and their supporters who give them who give them a free ride, the Megyn Kelly's of the world and those people. Mass movements attempt to devour the individual in two ways, consume his identity and uniqueness, thereby making him indistinguishable from the masses, but also assigning him a group identity based on race, age, income, etc. To draw class distinctions. This way the demagogues and propagandists can speak to the well being of the people as a whole while dividing them against themselves, thereby stampeding them in one direction or another as necessary to collapse the existing society or rule over the new one. And who among us is attracted to such mass movements? Again, I noted in my prior book, a receptive audience is found among the societies disenchanted, disaffected, dissatisfied and maladjusted who are unwilling or unable to assume responsibility for their own real or perceived conditions, but instead blame their surroundings, the system and others. They are lured by the false hopes and promises of utopian transformation and the criticisms of the existing society to which their connection is tentative are non existent. Improving the malcontent slot becomes linked to the utopian cause. Moreover, disparaging and diminishing the successful and accomplished becomes an essential tactic. No one should be better than anyone else, regardless of the merits or value of his contribution. And by exploiting human frailties, frustrations, jealousies and inequities, a sense of meaning and Self worth is created in the malcontents otherwise unhappy and directionless life. As you can see, this applies to the Marxists and the fascists. Furthermore, in mass movements the individual is inconsequential as a person, useful only as an insignificant part of an amalgamation of insignificant parts. Is a worker part of a mass, nothing more, nothing less. His existence is soulless. Absolute obedience is the highest virtue. After all, only an army of drones is capable of building a rainbow to paradise. Almost a century ago, French philosopher and essayist Julian Benda observed that mass movements form frequently around individuals who share the same political hatred. Got that? The same political hate hatred, he wrote, thanks to the progress of communication and still more to the group spirit. It's clear that the holders of the same political hatred now form a compact, impassioned mass, every individual of which feels himself in touch with the infinite numbers of others, whereas a century ago such people were comparatively out of touch with each other and hated in a scattered way. I've been talking about the podcasting and the Internet, ladies and gentlemen, and the dangers it poses. There's simply no question about that, he said. Be asserted that these coherences will tend to develop still further, for the will to group is one of the most profound characteristics of the modern world, wrote this a hundred years ago, which even in the most unexpected domains, for instance, the domain of thought is more and more becoming the world of leagues, of unions and of groups. It is necessary to say that the passion of the individual is strengthened by the feeling itself. In proximity to these thousands of similar passions, the individual bestows a mystic personality on the association of which he feels himself a member, and gives it a religious adoration which is simply the deification of his own passion and no small stimulants to its intensity. That's genius, don't you think? Mr. Producer Benda also concluded that such movements, because that's what's going on today right now. Ben also concluded that such movements are often cult like he wrote. The coherence just described might be called a surface coherence, but there is added to it a coherence of essence. For the very reason that the holders of the same political passion form a more compact, impassioned group, they also form a more homogeneous, impassioned group, which the individual ways of feeling disappear. The zeal of each member more and more takes on the color of the others. And so you see this Jew hatred, you see this Christian hatred, you see this, this American hatred, and it builds on it, and builds on it, it builds on itself. Absolute brilliance. But let's go on. I wrote nearly a decade ago that these mass movements, that is, I wrote, that are intolerant of diversity, uniqueness, debate for their purpose requires a singular focus. There can be no competing voices or causes slowing or obstructing society's long righteous march. They rely on deceit, propaganda, dependence, intimidation and force. And I go on in that regard. Let me continue. I'm not going to read the whole chapter, but I think it's very, very important. If you have the book, just dust it off. Seventy years ago, Eric Hoffer wrote an iconic book, the True Believer, and I even mentioned him in My First Liberty and Tyranny. On the Nature of Mass Movements. Hoffer explained that mass movements are built of deeply flawed individuals with deeply flawed ideas. He noted that quote, a mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self renunciation. People who see their lives as irredeemably spoiled cannot find a worthwhile purpose in self advancement. They look on self interest as something tainted and evil, something unclean and unlucky. Anything undertaken under the auspices of the self seems to them foredoomed. Nothing that has its roots and reasons in the self can be good and noble. Moreover, most mass movements are angry and gloomy movements, hostile toward well adjusted, happy, successful individuals, among others. Indeed, I write later, there is a kind of psychotic pleasure and excitement in wrecking the present day society, including, if not especially, one as free, humane, tolerant and virtuous as ours. Let's see what surprises one when listening to the frustrated as they decry the present and all it works, writes Hoffer, is the enormous joy they derive from doing so. Such delight cannot come from the mere venting of a grievance. By expatiating upon the incurable baseness and vileness of the times, the frustrated soften their feeling of failure and isolation. Thus, by deprecating the present, they acquire a vague sense of equality. The cause itself becomes the reason for one's existence. As Hoffer pointed out, the means a mass movement uses to make the present unpalatable strike a responsive chord in the frustrated. The self mastery needed in overcoming their appetites gives them an illusion of strength. They feel that in the mastering themselves they have mastered the world. One gains the impression that the frustrated derive as much satisfaction, if not more, from the means a mass movement uses as from the end it advocates. My God, is that true? Thus Hoffer is describing a fanatic and fanaticism. He says the fanatic's passionate attachment is the essence of his blind devotion and religiosity. And he sees in it the source of all virtue and strength. Though his single minded dedication is a holding on for dear life, he easily sees himself as the supporter and defender of the holy cause to which he clings. These would be Fuentes and the Gropers and the people who subscribe to Carlson and Bannon. These would be the Marxists, the Islamists, the people who vote for Mondami and Hisok. Hoffer explains it this. The fanatic cannot be weaned away from his cause by an appeal to his reason or moral sense. Let me repeat that. The fanatic cannot be weaned away from his cause by an appeal to his reason or moral sense. Again, this is in chapter two in American Marxism. He fears compromise and cannot be persuaded to qualify the certitude and righteousness of his holy cause. His passionate attachment is more vital than the quality of the cause to which he is attached. He continues to live without an ardent desire. Dedicated dedication is to be adrift and abandoned. He sees intolerance, a sign of weakness, frivolity and ignorance. He hungers for the deep assurance which comes with total surrender, with a whole hearted clinging to a creed and a cause. Sorry, I have to read with a magnifying glass. What matters is not the content. Hold on. Is not the contents of the cause, but the total dedication and communion with the congregation. The fanatic comes from all walks of life and all backgrounds. You can look at George Soros, you can look at others like Benda. Hoffer sees the fanatic and the mass movement as centered on an intense, if not obsessive, hatred. He says passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus, people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives, try to find a new content, not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause, but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both. Indeed, I write, the dangerousness of this hatred, when tied to a cause, can have calamitous societal and human consequences. It leads to scapegoating, Balkanization, violence, and, in its more aggressive form, ethnic cleansing. I write more broadly and simultaneously. This hatred seeks to malign, debase, debauch and ultimately topple the status quo and the civil society. I'd say this is on mark, don't you, Mr. Producer? In the end, if such mass movements succeed, the result is totalitarianism. Hannah Arendt, who I cite in several of my books, but I'm pointing it out here in American Marxism, genius, writer, philosopher. She suffered through the Holocaust. And she writes, the attraction of evil and crime for the mob mentality is nothing new. It has always been true that the mob will greet deeds of violence with the admiring remark. It may be mean, but it's very clever. The disturbing factor in the success of totalitarianism is rather the true selflessness of its adherents. In point of fact, I write, mass movements are the necessary precursors to building revolutions and overthrowing governments in the immediate instance, our own republic by various and competing tactical approaches. But as described earlier, there is a commonality and essential methodology to this counter revolution and societal transformation. And that is the voice and the view of a collective. And I go on in excruciating detail throughout the book, especially this chapter. In this chapter, not by accident, I titled Breeding mobs and we are breeding mobs. We are breeding Marxists, Marxist Islamists, and we are breeding fascists.

This is the best of Mark Levin. We're going to be celebrating 250, 50 years since the beginning of the revolution. Actually the signing of the Declaration of independence. More accurately 1776, July. I don't even say July 4th, because they actually voted on it and approved it on July 2. Are you aware that, Mr. Medusa, because you listen to the show. Okay, but they, they did sign, or most of them did sign because it took time to, to. To make copies of it back then, obviously. And I revere these things. I revere our history. I revere the founders and the framers. These people do not. They don't know a damn thing about them. I revere our documents early on. And so when people attack them, whether it's the fascistic right or the Marxist left, you and I, constitutional conservatives, we have to defend them. We have to defend them. We're not into a cult of personality. Well, this guy used to be like that doesn't matter. We believe in our country. We're patriots. And so we can't. We can't believe in a cult of personality where people are literally destroying our entire belief system. And then telling us Putin's a good guy and Qatar is pretty cool, and the head of Iran telling us that Bonhoeffer is something wrong with him on Churchill, in other words, trashing the greatest generation, trashing our men and women in military or veterans, telling us Mandami is pretty cool and that Hamas is not a terrorist group, it's a political organization. And if you're Christian, you believe in the Holy Land. What did he say? He detests you more than anybody. That's evil. That's sick. And then he has his surrogates who pile on and, and make excuses for him and, you know. F you. F you, Megyn Kelly. Very ladylike. F you. Maybe I'll give her a cigar. And I don't know, something not right there either, quite frankly, but I don't want to wash my hands again. I already washed my hands. President of the United States said something today, and I was proud of him. You know, I'm proud of him, period. I spoke to him the other day for quite a long period of time in the morning about a number of things. I can't share it. You know, these discussions are confidential. And nothing, nothing crazy. Just it is what it is. And he put his foot down. You know, the Democrats were blackmailing the country, you and me, Mr. And Mrs. America, for $1.5 trillion to fund illegal alien health care, to fully fund, like before, public broadcasting and npr, a whole bunch of left wing groups to fund and all the rest of it. And the President. No, no, no, you don't, you don't get to undo what we just did in May. And it takes time for these tax cuts to resonate throughout the economy. Under Reagan, it took about 14 months with these massive tax cuts, and then it was off to the races. And so you got to figure after the first quarter, maybe in the second quarter of next year, you're going to see this stuff really kick in. It just takes time. The economy is very big. And so the president, last night when he signed this bill, he made something very clear to the extortionists the Marxists, the Islamists, AKA the Democrats. Cut one, go.

We've seen how good government can be and how bad government can be if people don't know what they're doing. For the past 43 days, Democrats in Congress shut down the government of the United States in an attempt to extort American tax taxpayers for hundreds of billions of dollars for illegal aliens and people that came into our country illegally from gangs, from prisons, from mental institutions. They wanted to pay them $1.5 trillion, which would have really hurt our healthcare businesses and our recipients at levels never seen before. Today we're sending a clear message that we will never give in to extortion, because that's what it was. They tried to extort the Democrats tried to extort our country. In just a moment, I'll sign a bill exactly like we asked Democrats to send us all along many days ago. This cost the country $1.5 trillion, this little excursion that they took us on. Republicans never wanted a shutdown and voted 15 times for at least clean continuation of funding. There's never been a time when one or the other party ever didn't sign a continuation. It's just a continuation, not a big deal. It's a continuation. And we'll talk later. Yet the extremists in the other party insisted on creating the longest government shutdown in American history. And they did it purely for political reasons.

I want to also thank the eight Senate Democrats who finally did the right thing in voting to end this craziness, this madness. But unfortunately, the vast majority of Congressional Democrats were happy for millions of Americans to suffer. They really did suffer too. And the Democrats admitted, they said, well, no, we finally have a point. Even though people have to suffer, we finally have a point. And that didn't work out too well for them, but they really went out and they could appease the fringe benefits of their far left base. But that didn't work out because now their far left base is angrier than ever before. We actually elected a mayor of New York City who happens to be a Communist. When was that going to happen? Remember I said all the time during my campaign, we will never be a socialist country. And that's right. We turn out to have a communist in New York City. And if you look at his views, those are the views of a communist, not a socialist. So this is no way to run a country. I hope we can all agree that the government should never be shut down again. Again. End the Filibuster. Terminate the filibuster. It'll never happen again.

Yeah, unbelievable. President has a great idea. It's the basis of ideas that have floated around a long time. I want you to hear what he said, and then I want to. I want to build on it. Cut four, go.

But it all includes fixing the health care system that Democrats broke with the disaster known as Obamacare. Obamacare was a disaster from day one. It's done nothing but go up. And if you remember President Barack Hussein Obama, when he came up with this crazy idea, he said, everything is going to be great. Rates are going to go down, payments are going to go down, everything's going to go down. It went the exact opposite with the biggest increase of any of healthcare in any country. It's a disaster. And I'm calling today for insurance companies not to be paid, but for. For the money, this massive amount of money to be paid directly to the people of our country so that they can buy their own health care, which will be far better and far less expensive than the disaster known as Obamacare. And I've had, I think, great support. I've even had Democrat support. So we want the money that would be going to the insurance company, which is hundreds of billions of dollars. You know, their stock prices have gone up by a thousand percent, in many cases 1000% over a short period of time because our country stupidly pays them so much money with this Obamacare scandal. So I want the money to go directly to you, the people, and you go out and you'll buy your own health insurance and you'll negotiate.

Here's the thing, folks. I don't trash our pharmaceutical companies, our insurance companies and so forth and so on. We have the best health care system in the world thanks to hundreds of thousands of Americans who work for these companies. And they work hard. They try to do the right thing under the rules that are set by Congress or the states. But that doesn't mean we can't make decisions, good decisions, that are wiser than we have been. And I'm a big believer in these health saving accounts or whatever you want to call them, where people have more money in their own pocket, but that requires the people then to use that money to choose a health care program, a premium, and to pay for it. And so if they get the money and they don't pay for it, and all we're going to do is put them on Medicaid, that's a problem. So people are floating ideas. I want to see the fine print. I believe with the core idea here very much. And I'll tell you what, you're going to see a fascinating opening statement monologue on Saturday night's Life, Liberty and Live in. It's going to be fascinating. I'm just telling you because I take on this issue of affordability, I look at the various states and cities and I lay certain information out that I think as a result of my doing it on my TV show on Fox, that now the Republicans will know better how to make the case for affordability. Not massive government, not Marxism, not fascism, but for good old fashioned conservatism. I think you're going to love it. I really do. Mark Levin, we're giving you nothing but the best. The best of Mark Levin. Yes, I'd be right here. Here's where I'd be at. You don't sentences and prepositions, but people do it all the time. Where are you at? You don't need to say where are you at? You've already said where are you? Right, Mr. Producer, where you be? It's another one that kind of drives me a little crazy to be perfectly honest with you folks. Oh, yeah. All right, so now I told you about Qatar. They, they own London, they own our colleges and universities and they buy up, you know, special interest law firms and so forth and so on. But this group, care I've been warning you about to cair, our friends at the Washington Free Beacon, one of the great sites Chuck Ross. Mandami's rise was not random. Said anti Semitic activist Linda Sarsour boasted of mobilizing a CARE tight pact to support the socialists. That would be Marxist mayoral campaign. The Council on American Islamic Relations teased a major expansion of its lobbying and political operations. Ready for this in the wake of October 7, while its masters Hamas slaughtered Israelis and that would include Americans too, 20 of whom were murdered. Okay. To give Muslims, quote, a voice in the halls of Congress and on the campaign trails. Nearly two years later, the pro Hamas group's allies and officials say their efforts helped elect New York City mayor to be Zorhan Mandami, with plans to, quote, make even more history in next year's midterm elections. I told you about the lieutenant governor elect in Virginia. One step away from governor. She's an Islamist, just like Mandami. At CARE events this summer, anti Semitic activist Lara Sansour bragged that she got cair's political Armed CARE action and CARE endorsed Super PAC Unity and Justice Fund to back Mandami's campaign. It's part of an aggressive four way into campaign politics for Kerry, purportedly apolitical charity known for launching legal fights against so called anti Muslim discrimination. Now, while CARE itself can't endorse political candidates or spend in elections its political armed, Care Action can. Then there's the Unity and Justice Fund. The super PAC is not legally associated with care, but its treasurer, Basseem El Khalat, doubles as the head of CARE Action. They're all incestuous, as you would expect. The two groups also share office space in Washington, D.C. together, the entities create what Sunsour called a new level of sophistication in Kerr's political efforts. It was long in the making. Ne Wad Awad. You know this guy is an Ahad a hole rather. And I have mentioned Niwad Awad Ahol many times on this program. He's the CARE executive director who said he was happy to see Hamas's October 7th terror attack. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the next interview on Kitarlson's program. Maybe on Megyn Kelly's I got to make a name for her. I will. I'll figure it out. First touted, quote, a major breakthrough in the way we do business and the way we speak to our politicians nationwide, said Awad the A hole shortly after the attack during a Dec. 10, 2023 interview. CARE Action registered in D.C. 12 days later, according to local business filings. On January 2024, Awad the a hole was sharing the good news, quote unquote. The good news we're expanding our C4 lobbying and PACs so that we can give you a voice not only in the halls of Congress but also on the campaign trails. Yay. Yay. Democrat parties desperate to have their support. The C4 was a reference to CARE Action, which is registered as a 501c4 nonprofit. Awad the a hole talks of PACs. That was less clear. Care Action does have its own pac. That suggests CARE Action and its leader Elijah are instead leaning on Unity and Justice Fund, an entity that is not obviously affiliated with care. You know they set up all these groups, front groups, secondary groups. Those operations have been successful as of late. According to during the August event, he and Sarsour attributed the election of Senator Angela also Brooks and Representative Derek Tran. Hello Derek Tran. Hello to the mobilization efforts of CARE Action in the Muslim community. Pledged to replicate that success on a larger scale next year. You'll see in the midterm elections. Said we'll make even more history. Man oh man, we're going to be up against it. I take nothing for granted America, the article goes on about all these slip and fall Islamists and they're billionaire backers. The billionaires. We don't want the billionaires except our billionaires. The Sorosers and the gates, the buffets. There are billionaires. Excuse me. Cholera. Yes, yes. I'm sick of that old man, to be perfectly honest with Bernie Sanders. Sick of that, that Stalinist. I really am so. Oh, I meant to get to this yesterday, trying to pull together all this stuff. The FBI arrested Newscombs. That would be Gavin Newscomb's. California governor, ex chief of staff. Do you see this? America on 23 count indictment. And I'm, I'm waiting for Newscomb to say something, you know, goes to Brazil. Where's Donald Trump? He's in Washington running the country, you moron. Why aren't you in Sacramento running your state? Well, he is. He's running it into the ground, but you get the point. He's another weirdo, not just physically with the long pencil neck. What is with the pencil necks in California? Schiff. Newscombe. What is that, Mr. Producer? Then he combs his hair back. It looks like he's. He's putting applesauce in his hair. I don't know what that is. Oh, it's show. 1953. Nonetheless, 23 count indictment against his ex chief of staff and you don't hear crap about it. Bank and wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of justice and more. Wow. Wow. Western Journal, Wonderful site. Brian Che, a woman who was once one of California Governor Gavin Newsom's most trusted lieutenants has found herself in the crosshairs of the FBI and she's not looking very great. Yesterday, the U.S. attorney's office in the Eastern District of California dropped a bombshell news release stating Dana Williamson, Newscomb's chief of staff from 2022 to 2024, had been indicted on a litany of charges. The 53 year old Williamson has been charged by a federal grand jury with conspiracy to commit bank wire fraud. Bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruct justice, subscribing to false tax returns, making false statements. That's just the start. In total, the indictment included 23 counts. Williamson was arrested by the FBI on Wednesday. According to the Sacramento Bee. First broke the news of the indictment. She pleaded innocent to all counts, was released on half a million dollars bond. Where's Newscomb? We haven't heard from him and he never shuts his big mouth. This is a critical step on an ongoing political corruption Investigation that began more than three years ago. U.S. attorney Eric Grant said in the news release. As it always has, the U.S. attorney's office will continue to work tirelessly with our law enforcement partners to protect the people of California from political corruption. Now, the charges are the result of three years investigation. What they say is there was disguising personal luxuries as business expenses, especially to claim improper tax deductions or to willfully file fraudulent tax returns in a serious criminal offense with severe consequences. U.S. attorney's office alleged Williamson between 2022 and 2024 when she was working for Governor Newsom. Don't worry. I'm the greatest governor. I will watch every penny. You're but your chief of staff right under your nose. Well, how was I supposed to know? Conspired with others to move funds from a dormant political campaign to an associate. Williamson apparently was helping funnel these funds for the associate's personal use. And it was a notable amount. Williamson is accused of having make approximately 225,000 available to this associate. And the release by the government says collectively they funneled the money through various business entities and disguised it as pay for what was in reality a no show job. No show job. I mean Biden was in a no show job for four years. Williamson is also involved in a number of other shocking allegations. According to the release. And this was hand picked person by Governor Newscomb. He knows what to do. Just because the Palisades burned to the ground, just because there's no water, just because there's illegal immigrants on every corner. Just because that speed train they were building was a black hole for billions and billions of dollars. Just because they have the highest taxes, just because they have the highest gasoline prices. Just because. Just because doesn't mean it's his fault. Sheena. Business Associated created false backdated contracts after being handed a subpoena in 2024 regarding Paycheck Protection program loans made to Williamson's business. You know, she might want to get an advisor. There's a guy out there who, you know, he confessed to committing fraud against people on a charity. Taking money from, among others, little old ladies. He said he was going to build a wall, but never did. And that would be, of course bloated Bannon. Obviously he didn't do all these things, but he did something. So he's giving advice to Epstein. Got all those texts telling Epstein how to deal with the public and the press. All those videos that bloated Banner won't release. Maybe you can help this woman. Whereas yet when FBI agents first confronted her about these myriad validations. She made false statements. I wonder why. Newscom, for his part, seemed ready to wash his hands of all this since Williamson was no longer on his team. But we're still learning details of the allegations. The governor expects all public servants to uphold the highest standards. How about you, Newscom? You hired her? Apparently, she was doing this while she was your Chief of staff, if I'm reading the years correctly. No, no, no, no, you don't understand. No, I don't understand.
