On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the House judiciary hearing today in Manhattan
was fantastic and exactly the right thing to do because New York is not safe
no matter what the liberal elites in New York with private security want to
believe. Democrats like Rep. Hank Johnson called Republicans jack-booted
thugs and MAGA extremists for wanting to crack down on the violent crime in
New York being allowed because of DA Alvin Bragg. These Radical Marxist
Democrats don’t want this crime to be stopped no matter how many people are
hurt because it is part of their ideology. Instead, Democrats are only around
to destroy the communities and cities they run, which is almost exclusively
where this violent crime is happening. Also, the radical Marxists view the
nuclear family as part of a failed feudal society and to be replaced by the
state, because destroying the nuclear family means destroying the culture and
society. Parents know that children are their responsibility and are speaking
out at town halls against a law forcing parents to consent to sex change
operations for their child. The Marxists are all for this because they want
to control our children like they are now doing in Washington and Arkansas.
Later, six additional members of the Biden family have been identified in
benefiting from shady deals and suspicious activity, as well as Hunter Biden
using his father as leverage in business deals and Hallie Biden getting
millions from China. Nine Biden’s in total have been identified now and the
number of family members involved is incredible. Republicans have no excuse
to not appoint a special counsel to investigate this case because the Bidens
were taking in money hand over fist and profiting off their position as
government officials. Finally, Mark speaks with Senator Ron Johnson about
investigating the Biden family and the evidence against their corruption.

Rough transcription of hour 1
Segment 1
. Joe Biden was in Ireland for three days and he’s yet to step foot in
Palestine, Ohio. Palestine, Ohio. His own country. And also he’s been so busy
that he refuses to spend any time whatsoever with the Republican speaker of
the House, Kevin McCarthy, who has repeatedly said that they need to talk
about the debt ceiling. Biden refuses and Schumer keeps attacking McCarthy as
the obstacle to a deal. That’s how cynical and brazenly so all the Democrats
are. Just to put that out there. It’s very important because time is a
reason. And the media, of course, will well blame the Republicans. But
nonetheless, Biden doesn’t even want to talk. It’s my way or the highway, he
says. And his way will massively increase the debt even beyond where we are
today, and more so it will push inflation even higher. But what I want to
focus on at the beginning of the program is this fantastic House Judiciary
Committee hearing in Manhattan. Don’t worry about what the Democrats say.
Don’t worry about what the media say. It was fantastic. It’s exactly the
right thing to do. And I know the the ruling class in New York, all Democrats
keep going on about how safe New York is, but every damn one of these people
have protection. New York is not safe. They want to compare it to other
cities where the Democrats have also lost their minds. But what they won’t
compare New York to is New York under Rudy Giuliani. And Michael Bloomberg
that they won’t do. Because if they make that comparison, there is no
comparison. So we have a district attorney in Manhattan who is a Soros lapdog
and is a leftist, and he comes under no criticism whatsoever from any
Democrats. Anywhere in the country. Representative Hank Johnson is at the
House Judiciary Hearing today in Manhattan. And let’s listen to some of this
cut. One go mega Republicans continue to resist even the most basic reforms
like universal background checks. If Republicans really wanted to stop, we
have universal background checks except for the rarest of circumstances that
have literally nothing to do with the murder rate in our country. I challenge
you to go out today? Go to a gun shop. Very gun dealer. Legitimate gun dealer
or an NRA convention, legitimate event and purchase a gun and not get a
background check. Are there are certain kinds of guns you can buy without a
background check? You know, if you’re a collector of Revolutionary War or
Civil War type weapons and that sort of thing. But I’m talking about modern
weaponry. That goes back a hundred years. You won’t be able to get any
automatic weapons. But you will have a background check. Go ahead. And they
would be in D.C. right now working with Democrats to pass common sense gun
legislation. Instead, like jackbooted thugs, they’ve descended on New York
City using violent crime as their pretext. So Republicans are now jack booted
thugs. Jackbooted thugs. In other words, Republicans are like Nazis. Go
ahead. The MAGA Republican extremists are not interested in gun violence or
even knife violence. The Republican witnesses who have used their time to
criticize District Attorney Brad have served as props in a mega Broadway
production. Now you understand, folks, the people who are there and are
testifying have had family members murdered in New York. And this piece of
crap, Congressman, dares to degrade them, their cause and what they’ve been
through. It’s disgusting. Go ahead. The real purpose in coming to New York
City. We have order. The real purpose in coming to New York City. Gentleman
got suspended right here. Stop the clock. That’s what I’ve stood for. The
audience. I’ve said several times now that committee has to be in order. If
anyone continues, then we’re going to have to ask for some people out.
Please, please don’t talk down to us. Witnesses, please. Yeah. Please don’t
talk down to us. Witnesses, please. As props and a manga Broadway production,
this guy can barely read what’s handed to him, let alone think for himself.
Then they bring Jerry Nadler. Jerry Nadler comes. You may remember he chaired
this committee, did such a magnificent job. But I want you to keep in mind,
there’s not a single Democrat here who cares about these people, what they’ve
been through or the crime in the city of New York. None. Cut to go. It is. To
use the chairman’s favorite term. A weaponization of the House Judiciary
Committee. I do not know if Mr. Trump will be found guilty. I do not
understand the gallery. It should refrain from commenting and let the
gentleman from New York finish his statement. It’s hard, Jim. It’s hard for
the gallery to stop commenting because these people have suffered and they’re
listening to these shameless blowhards. Madeleine Brame. Her veteran son was
killed in New York City and she’s at the House Judiciary Committee and she
had something to say. Cut three. Go. And as far as the Manhattan District
attorney’s office, if he’s receiving one penny of federal dollars, you need
to pull that funding. And he starts doing his damn job and prosecuting crime.
Thank you, Madeleine. Oh, I was totally disrespected. Me, my family, my
grandchildren. We were treated like garbage. Like garbage. I’ve sat before
and half years and saw mothers walk in and out. We have a mother sitting here
right now whose son, two sons, one died and the other one was on the last
copy that this is out of torso cloth, just the chin. So I’m not the only one.
There are hundreds and thousands of us. We don’t give a damn about your
politics. We don’t care. It could be the man from the moon who’s running for
president. Okay? It’s wrong. It’s whoever’s in there. It stands for Law and
Order. As though recounts some civility and sanity to our city. Thank you.
Took a Republican House committee to allow these people to speak. That was
Madeleine Brain. Her son, who was a veteran, was murdered in New York City.
Dan Goldman has. Turn out to be one of the most. Obvious scumbags in the
Democrat Party. I think he’s newly elected to the House. He was a prosecutor
supposedly in the Southern district of New York, but he is a complete
scumbag, this guy. And he’s made it abundantly clear publicly that his role
in life is to attack Donald Trump. So here are people they don’t want to hear
about Trump. They don’t want to hear about anything. They’re trying to
explain what’s going on. They’ve lost loved ones. And here’s this scumbag.
Dan Goldman. Did I mention it? He’s a scumbag. Cut forgo. Your experiences
are devastating. But the problem is, is that this is a charade to cover up
for an abuse of power, that they are going around talking incessantly outside
of this hearing about Donald Trump. And the purpose of this hearing is to
cover up for what they know to be an inappropriate investigation. Now, I look
forward, many of you can I was going to say, please, not right now, because I
only have 20 seconds. I’m sorry, but I do want to show my intelligence that
you’re not going to hang on to the gentleman’s time. I’m not trying to insult
me. I’m not aware of what’s going on. Thank you. Okay. I’m fully aware of
what’s going on here. DeLay. Well, okay. And gentlemen, gets another 15
seconds. Thank you. That’s why I walked away from the plantation of the
Democratic Party. The committee will be in order. And what I was what I was
about to say is that as a representative of this city, I look forward to
working with you. She despises you because you’re a scumbag, like I said.
It’s just disgusting. Your ear to ear pieces, sleeves you really are about.
Didn’t we invite this guy on Mr. Beers, or did you ever follow up with this
guy? They ignored you. Tough guy wouldn’t. Come on. What is with all these
tough guy Democrats who won’t come on the program? It’s amazing. So then they
have Adam Schiff here, and we know what a sleazeball he is. Cut five guy. Of
course, this is not a coincidence at all. Instead, it is the GOP leadership
in Congress doing what it has done best for the last six years, and that is
to act as the criminal defense counsel for Donald J. So there you go, Donald
Trump. Now, keep something in mind. This is in New York. These people. I
don’t know if the Republicans, Democrats, independents, these people have
suffered. They have suffered. In ways that most of us can’t imagine. And the
Democrats go there with a playbook with ready made speeches written by
staffers. To attack Trump. It shows you how mentally ill they are as a group.
They’re just mentally unhinged. And some people have had enough. They just
can’t take it. Go ahead. Oh, you this let me tell you this. The Capitol
police general will suspend Capitol police from the Capitol Police will
remove the gentleman from the office. Tell you this. Let me tell you this.
Gentlemen. Gentlemen. Hey, you know what? Let me tell you this. Know that you
have come back. Let me tell you this, because people can only take so much.
They can only take so much. It’s not Washington, D.C., It’s New York. Go
ahead, Donald Trump. Tell me what’s happened. So we got to order that. Why do
you how do you want to take it down? They will suspend the ordinance has to
be the has to be in order. Capitol Hill, Capitol Police, by the way, notice
something here. Notice that Jim George trying to get order. And people are
going to be removed. Remember what happened in the Tennessee. House. Were
three Democrats, two of whom were black, one of whom was white. And quite
large, I might add. In any event, how they shut down those proceedings. And
remember when they were expelled, because they have to be expelled, not
merely removed. If you’re going to put an end to it. And they did pretty much
the same thing the next day. Remember all that? And that was racist. You
Democrats, here you are black people here. You have Hispanic people here,
you’re white people here, you have Indian people, Asian people or whatever.
The Democrats are accused of being racist for the things that they’re. But
they should be. And Jim Jordan is not accused of being racist for trying to
get order. I’m just making a point. Go ahead, sir. Well, this might messing
with me anyway. Anyway, the Capitol Police who came with the committee
removed the gentleman. That’s right. The gentleman who’s an American has had
enough. Want you to hear a little bit more of this when I return. I don’t
want to I want to comment further.
Segment 2
Remember I pose RB was the New York City bodega owner and he was assaulted
and he used a knife to defend his life and he was arrested. Here he is.
Translator At the hearing as well. Cut. Six Go. That is when I encountered a
true and real threat to my life. After I simply told a woman that she could
not have potato chips because her payment was declined. I was face to face
with her boyfriend who seemed ready to kill me. He attacked me violently,
threw me around the store. The woman stabbed me herself. I truly believe they
were there to kill me. So faced with this, I did what I knew I had to do to
save my life. What the law what the law allows me to do to save my life. I
stabbed that man in self-defense. But when the police came, even though I was
injured myself, I was placed under arrest. I was taken to jail. When I came
before the judge, the prosecutor said I was being charged with murder in the
second degree. They asked for bail, even though so many people are being let
go these days. And I couldn’t afford it. So I went to Rikers Island. I was
forced into a crowded and unsafe intake cell. Even though I was injured in
jail, I didn’t get the medical treatment I should have received, I suppose.
He spends almost a week at Rikers. Finally, bail was lowered so he can get
released. He had to face harsh conditions. He was an innocent man. He was
charged with murder. And he believes it was all because of Alvin Bragg. And
he is believe is correct. The Democrats don’t want you to hear any of this.
Segment 3
You know, folks, you watch these video shots. What goes on in Chicago, What
went on in Compton a couple of months ago? Philadelphia goes on and L.A. and
New York and on and on and on. The fact is you can deal with this crime, but
these radical left wing Marxist Democrats do not want to deal with this
crime. They don’t care how many people are hurt, how many people are killed
and raped and otherwise maimed. They don’t care how many stores leave their
city means nothing to them because they were born out of the ideology. They
came up through the ideology. Most of them have never worked a day in their
lives. They’ve always been involved in community activism and so forth. And
that’s what we know. Now, how do you stop it? Overwhelming force. Virtually
every metropolitan police department needs 30 to 50% more police officers. If
not more. They should be highly trained. They should be very well paid. They
should be properly outfitted. There needs to be more jail space. You start
raining, rounding up criminals and throwing them in jail. That’s what you do.
You bring down the hammer. That’s how you stop crime. It’s nothing to do with
parents and video games and all. The fact of the matter is. If you don’t have
significant punishment. Punishment, that is swift. And severe. Then this
continues. They can talk about guns. They can talk about poverty. We’ve
always had poverty and we’ve always had guns. In fact, it wasn’t that long
ago where we didn’t have a massive welfare state and we didn’t have many gun
laws either. And we didn’t have this much crime. It’s a big issue. There are
ways to address this. Lori Lightfoot. She says these violent rioters, it’s
wrong to say it’s mayhem. It’s not mayhem. Brandon Johnson, the Cook County
commissioner, is now the mayor elect. He won’t even condemn the looting, says
people are desperate. Now, I will just say this. The people of Chicago voted
for Brandon Johnson and now they’re going to suffer. They’re going to suffer.
That’s what’s going to happen. But you have a right to vote these people out.
And when you vote them in, you’re committing suicide or suicide because there
is a way to deal with this. There is a way to fix this. And that is muscle up
the police forces. Arrest the. The criminals. Put them in jail. Part of the
problem is and the police chief in Washington, D.C., who’s a good man, talks
about this. He’s African-American as well. That the prosecutors and the
judges won’t keep them in jail. Our entire law enforcement system. Has in key
positions radical leftists. Who used to be defence lawyers. Used to work at
the ACLU or something like that. Now they have secreted themselves into the
judiciary and even into prosecutors offices. Prime examples. Even in the
suburbs in Loudon County, Virginia, you’ve heard about the schools in Loudoun
County, Virginia. Loudoun County, Virginia may still be one of the wealthiest
counties in America. And so you have a fusion of radical left wing elitists.
With individuals. They’re not the mob, but they are a large number of people,
regardless of race. Who also believe in big government. So I call it the mob,
whatever you want to call it. So. They elect this woman by the smallest of
margins. First thing, she announces that like all the sauce, prosecutors,
anybody who steals, I think it was over under a thousand or whatever the
number was, will not be charged. They won’t be charged. You know, people like
Joy Reid Reprobates. Are hosts on MSL, LSD and the Crap News Network. But Joy
Reid, I remember some time ago she said that property crimes shouldn’t really
be crimes. Something to that effect. And as you know, the founding of the
nation property was crucial. And many of you worked very, very hard for your
property, for your homes, for your vehicles. For everything you have. You’ve
earned it. You’ve worked for it. Nobody gave it to you. It represents what
you do when you get up early in the morning and go home in the evening or
some late at night. You paid for it. It’s your possession. If somebody steals
from you. They’re taking your money. They’re taking your labor. As I say, you
work for these things. You earn them. Somebody else didn’t changes the entire
psychology of the community. The entire psychology of the community. So you
need to ask yourselves. There’s the Democrat Party. And do so many Democrat
voters. Do they share the same mentality as the rest of us? That is, that
they want safety. We do. That they want criminals put away, taken off the
streets. Save families. Because honestly, if you vote Democrat today in a
city, you can’t possibly support any of those things. You simply cannot. Joe
Biden likes to say that the Republicans in Washington, D.C., voted against
funding police. But you know, a lot of Joe Biden. And said another sleazy
liar, as you must be to be an elected Democrat. You have to be a sleazy liar.
The Republicans never voted against funding police. He’s talking about his
$1.7 trillion inflation reduction act, which was a kill capitalism degrowth
movement and Increase Inflation Act, which was mostly about climate change,
with a provision in their monies to be given to cities and states. To spend
as they see fit. And so what Joe Biden says is that was evidence of the
Republicans voting against. A Democrat bill that would fund police said ban.
Ridiculous. The issue is not that the city is like money to fund police when
they defunded police or slashed their budgets and their numbers. They took
the money away from them. It was never a question of having or not having
money. They didn’t want to give them money. That was the issue. So there are
ways to address this. Effectively. Giuliani did it. Bloomberg did it in New
York, and other mayors have done it and other governors have done it. The
fact is you have billionaires like Soros, you have billionaire Democrats who
do not have to live for all this hellish activities taking place, and they
don’t. They live far away from it all. Maybe not even in our country most of
the time. Maybe not even in our country. Felonies in New York City, 102,020.
21. 122,000. In 2022. Felonies downgraded to misdemeanors, 52%. The time in
2022 felony cases declined to prosecute 11 119. Last year. That’s Alvin
Bragg. And the Democrats and their media keep telling you that crime is going
down in New York. It’s going down in New York. So a 10000 to 12000 people are
leaving every month. So the Democrats don’t even say, you know, we made
mistakes here. We’ve got to alter what we’re doing, modify our policies. No.
They lie. Because they’re ideologues. And so they’ll continue to be anarchy,
mayhem, chaos, death. Impoverishment, lack of employment, lack of schooling.
It’s only going to get worse. And so many wealthy people of every race. But
wealthy people who could be role models to try and fight this, to stop
mouthing the Democrat Party line like the LeBron James’s of the world, to
stop blaming people have nothing to do with it. And then start blaming people
who have everything to do with it. They could help, but they don’t want to.
Segment 4
You see what’s going on in the cities. Where’s Joe Biden tonight? You know,
nobody knows where he is. We have crime that is rampant in this country. And
Joe Biden doesn’t lift a finger. Not a finger. Nothing. Democrat Party
cities. That’s where this is taking place, almost exclusively. The Democrat
Party is responsible for this. They’re responsible for this. Mark my words.
It’s not Republicans. It’s not cops. It’s Democrats. And they’re out in the
open now. And really, if you oppose crime and what’s happening in our
communities, particularly to minorities, and it’s about time people speak out
who have positions where people can listen. It amazes me the extent to which
ESPN. Which has a tremendous number of really smart, talented, well-to-do
individuals, many of whom are minorities. Say nothing about this. In fact, if
they say anything about it, they say the wrong thing about. Because they
don’t want to lose a following. Or followers on Twitter or Facebook or
wherever they are. That’s why. Believe it or not, it actually takes guts to
speak out against crime. And to point to those who are committing the crimes.
And it’s really quite remarkable. I mean, what’s taking place in these
cities? Is because the Democrat Party has adopted a marxist ideology. In
which they don’t have a problem. If the civil society collapses, they don’t
care how many people are killed and raped and and in otherwise abused. They
just don’t. Their own actions tell you that. They go after the cops. That’s
the only force that exists in the city to stop it. They want to improve the
educational system with school choice. They won’t improve the the economic
system by trying to attract businesses. Why are they there? I’m now convinced
these Democrats are there to destroy these cities. Why? Well, if you
understand Marxism, you know why you have to destroy the status quo. And
these people are Marxists. Whether by indoctrination training. Coincidence.
It doesn’t really matter how. Or why even it’s who they are. And they are
destroying these communities. That’s why hearings like the one that was held
today by the House Judiciary Committee is so important. How often do we hear
Republicans need to go into, quote unquote, these communities? Okay. They
actually had a hearing in these communities. One of them. One of them. The
Democrats don’t hold hearings in these communities about crime. Jerry Nadler
didn’t do it when he was chairing the Judiciary Committee. We saw the same
faces from that Judiciary Committee. All these liberal left wing Democrats,
they showed up, but they only showed up because the Republicans called a
hearing. And what did they do? They attacked Donald Trump. And they didn’t.
They denied. They deny that crime is going through the roof. Because they
don’t have to deal with it. Most athletes don’t have to deal with it. Most
broadcasters on ESPN included don’t have to deal with it. And they know I’m
right. They all know I’m right. And Biden doesn’t have to deal with anything.
You know, they put out word this morning at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. I forget the
phrase they use in Washington, D.C., to close down a a press day. But they
put it out at 9 a.m. that there’d be no news for the news media. 9 a.m.. The
guy doesn’t hold press conferences. He goes to Ireland for three days. Why?
It was a junket. That’s why there was no need to go to Ireland. I’m not
against Ireland. I’d like to go there one day. I know it’s beautiful, but
that’s beside the point. You got stuff going on all over the world, including
communist China, preparing for war. Biden doesn’t act like anything is even
going on. The border is a disaster crime through the roof. The currency is
being replaced. No big deal. Guy goes to Ireland for three days, still hasn’t
gone to Palestine. Ohio still won’t go to Palestine, Ohio still hasn’t gone
to the southern border to see what actually is going on without a Potemkin
village.
