4:01 pm
want us to dive deeper tonight because it is very, very serious. first thing i want to do is remind you thomas paine december 23, 1773 wrote a pamphlet called crisis it was so powerful that george washington read it to the troops. because the morale was very low, and we were losing the revolutionary war. it opens with these are the times that try men souls summer soldier and sunshine patriot will shrink from service of their country. but he that stands by it now deserves thanks of man and woman. tyranny like hell is not easily concurred yet we have this consolation with us that the heart of the conflict the more glorious the triumph, what we obtain too cheap we esteem too lightly everything its value. heaven knows how to put a proper
4:02 pm
price upon pits goods and will be strange indeed so celestial article freedom should be highly rated we don't talk much about freedom and property rights and anymore we don't really hear much reference by these politicians in the white house and in congress. about the declaration of independence our founding document, because many of them reject it. many of them abhor it. we're told there was a meeting in the white house earlier in the week with some so-called historians and joe biden. put together by john meacham writing so many biden's speeches without telling the american people as he was critiquing them on msnbc and pulled together and biden wanted to know and they wanted him to know that he couldn't and should go big. real big -- that he's the potential to be
4:03 pm
bigger than fdr and lbj and barack obama three of the biggest spending most expansive government presidents we've had in american history. i want you to keep something in mind our constitution is intended to prevent this sort of thing. go big go fast they're telling them. the constitution says go slow and be deliberative. you have three branches of government. we have separation of powers. we have a bill of rights. we have what we call states, federalism, the 9th amendment, 10th amendment we have a first amendment. and all of these rights under the bill of rights intended to protect against government massive government spending in all think reaching every corner of our society affecting all aspect of our culture that's nos what the constitution created. constitution didn't create some kind of neomarxist or democracy social regime of the sort he have in europe and other places
4:04 pm
in the world. and so i've been taking a very close look at these things. and joe biden executive orders, and you might recall the biden sanders manifesto that was 150 pages that i discussed over and over again on this program, on radio, and on levin tv they're instituting this line by line page by page this is a manifesto and i'm going to say it it is a me yo marxist manifesto if we don't have the strength an courage to use the accurate language to describe what's going on then we will not be able to confront it let alone defeat it. i want you to know joe biden is not well read. he's not particularly bright. he never has been even in his -- days -- but he's surrounded by idiologs not just from obama administration but other idiologs and i want you to know something about them they read books like counterrevolution and review.
4:05 pm
by herbert marcuse. herbert marcuse get to it stick with me here's another one the breaking of the american social combat francis fox piven and richard a. cloward these are marxists. frontiers in social moving theory two other professors. we have is everyone really equal second edition, two more professors including rob opinion d. angelo may be known to some of you. revolution again, herbert marcuse there he is. marxist, the dialect call imagination by elective of imagination of the marcuse school of marxism stwik me. marks and late gene how to use marxism in the classroom. critical race theory richard dell gato gene right there again radical possibilities that is marxism in the classroom.
4:06 pm
the progressive education movement by william hayes do you know all of this is going on one dimensional man which was a important book to left herbert marcuse again here we have liberalism and social action. john dewey one of the original progressives 100 years ago angel in paradise -- we have more -- radicals you're familiar with this. rules for radicals. we have navigating borders, critical race theory is not just anymore about blacks. it is about immigration. we have critical immigration theory or what they call lackric never heard of it and new york times in 1619 project the purpose of which is to inculcate and doctrinate students to hate america what else do we have here degrowth movement that calls itself the climate change
4:07 pm
movement. in defense of degrowth by callus we have political theory and global climate change. doesn't matter who it is by. but these are professors and scholars in the field so-called. what is critical environmental justice, we have farewell to growth. i want you to know all of these books are relevant to people who surround joe biden, to bernie sanders, to aoc. these are professors these are so-called scholars both america and overseas. that are affecting your lives. now what about our media? i pointed out this book the other day propaganda. what are journalists for by jay rosen one of the leading professors in the social activism journalism movement. that's right -- social activism journalist public they call themselves public journalist doing public journalism public journalism and public life. another book -- the idea of public journalism.
4:08 pm
and then this -- manipulating masses woodrow wilson i recommend it it is along exactly what yoib is doing today. now -- when you look at joe biden's executive olders when you listen to what he's discussing with these historians, what is not discussed? what is not discussed? this -- the united states constitution. which is supposed to place limits on a man like joe biden. under executive branch like the biden administration all of the talk about donald trump. violating the constitution wanting to be a dictator mentally unstable let me suggest those are the descriptions of biden and administration right now go big go fast. what is this some kind of dictatorship? no go slow and go deliberative wepts to know what's going on he signed a bill 700 pages 1.9 trillion dollars and he never read it now they want to go for
4:09 pm
a so-called infrastructure bill that is nothing to do with infrastructure some small percentage. the other day it was $3 trillion. go big joe now they're talking about five trillion dollars. biden has no idea what is in it. he has platitudeness explanations, but that is it. why? because joe biden ran to be president and my opinion, not because he cares about america. he cared about america he never would have run given his medical condition in my view. why did he run to be president? legacy -- why was he meeting with the historians? legacy. how will he get written up and modern times as one of the great presidents? if he goes big, and goes fast if he embraces not democratic socialism. not progressivism this is neomarxism in some cases outright marxism we cannot be afraid to use this term. and let me suggest something to you -- i regret to say this. the karl marx is probably the
4:10 pm
most influential idiolog and only called a philosopher -- idiolog of modern era. more than locke more than unfortunately more than the greats. karl marx, karl marx and his ideology are responsible for the death of arntiond around 100 million people they're responsible for the imprisonment of over one and a half billion people. that's a lot of influence so why in the freest krpght on the face of the earth that is facing judeo-christian principle that embraces western enlightenment that has a bill of rights for individuals that has a constitution that is intended to limit the powers of the likes of joe biden. and chuck schumer and nancy pelosi -- and bernie sanders, why are we going in the wrong direction? i'll tell you why -- because if you fight for liberty it is a quiet fight in the oval office. you don't get written up as one of the greatest presidents in
4:11 pm
american history if you expand liberty if you limit your own powers if you limit the ubiquitous nature of the federal government. you've got to create programs. you've got to create entitlement. you've got to turn one person against another. you need to be self-righteous and not show that you're actually a narcissist and egomaniac and then you're sad that you you're humane. the more you move to the hard left more you embrace marxism and embrace class warfare critical race theory critical gender theory critical immigration theory. ed more you attack the state the more you attack the state legislature and propaganda to make your case. well the greater your legacy will be. ladies and gentlemen, this country isn't about joe biden's legacy. and it's not about the democrat party that wants to devour our government, all government. state, local, and federal level with the proposals that they're making. it is not about the federal government devouring the private sector. this is america.
4:12 pm
we are a constitutional republic. we believe in private property rights. we have unalienable rights we do believe in a colorblind society. not critical this theory and critical that theory. this is america. where we're not ruled by one man, half whited signing executive order after executive order because he wants to be the greatest leftist in american history. this is america. we're not ruled by 50/50 senate that tries to ram through whatever it can to change our electoral system to change our border system or house of representatives that has a ten vote margin. the smallest majority in a hundred years. they have no mandate to do what they're doing i've been saying this on radio since february 8th, joe biden is president because joe biden accounts historic legacy. and we're faced with two kinds of tyranny. executive branch we're faced with a man who believes in -- go big go fast whatever it
4:13 pm
takes. second amendment i oppose it and sign executive orders to do what to change the second amendment of the united states constitution. and then we're faced with a mob and house and senate that does not believe in deliberation they believe in iron fist with brass knuckles, with a ten-vote margin in the house of representatives to push radical changes throughout our country, massive trfnlings and senate 50/50 that uses our constitution the vice president of the united states. who can break ties, 51/50 to alter how this nation functions. that's why it is important to get it straight. this isn't just another cycle in our political system in american history. this is deadly serious if you're going to trash the constitution, if you're going to reach the firewalls in the constitution, if you're going to go big and fast not for liberty --
4:14 pm
not for the principles of the sciewghts constitution and declaration but for the opposite in a neomarxist direction well if that's not an insurrection what the hell is it? i'll be right back. when you have metastatic breast cancer, what does it mean to be a thriver? it means we grab a hold of what matters most. we sweat the details. ask for what we want. get what we need. and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. living longer is possible and proven with kisqali when taken with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in premenopausal women with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor alone. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away
4:15 pm
if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash or are plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. kisqali is not approved for use with tamoxifen. it's our time. for more time. we asked for kisqali. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali.
4:16 pm

4:18 pm
>> welcome back america we have two great guests tonight candace owens and i want to thank you for everything you do. you're a fantastic patriot your bock blackout was and is exceptional. let me ask you this candice co weans democrats are all over the place saying we need to pass election reform. if you don't pass what we want you to pass it is like jim crow. you want to oppress black people if you don't vote for 1.9 trillion in massive spending our children and grandchildren deal with in some impoverished way then you must oppose equality, you must oppose economic justice. they steal language and i feel they particularly use minorities and most of all african-american as cover for the radical agenda. what do you think? >> i think you are absolutely right and i cannot have said this enough over the last four
4:19 pm
years. it really has been my mission and my purpose to make sure black americans and all of minorities in this country recognize that. i feel that the democrat party represents black america like plantation owners represented slaves and the irony here being is that the democrats were slave owners they're using language referring to jim crow who was the party that implemented jim crow in this country. it was the democrats and that's the deep sinister evil of the democrat party. is that they're really just rewriting what they author in the book right these were the slave masters and they understand this system better than anybody else because they wrote it. it is the fabric of the democrat party. if you want to look at and you spoke about so many important things in your monologue but if you want to look at why they are doing things to education system, why they are implementing critical race theory, the answer is very simple because they steek to turn black americans into toddlers. they want to make sure that we have no knowledge it is the same reason mark, that they didn't
4:20 pm
part of their slave codes and south to make sure black americans not learning to read and understand educated mind cannot be enslaved they need to make sure there are no educated mind what better way to ensure that and pretend that you're educating black americans when instead you're filling minds with absolute filth making us see world in black and white. right telling us that all we should care about is color of our skin don't teach us hard academics mark and teach us math, science, chemistry and how to love this country. teaches how to be hateful how to be vengeful and say all you deserve in america is to be outside rioting and looting taking what is yours because you know that will never ever -- get ahead that way. right? that is the system we've had so many grant groups come to the system and black america hasn't been able to do that do you think that's because of slavery because of slavery absolutely not. it is because of a new slave system built by the democrats that isin to the dna of the
4:21 pm
welfare system, the attack on the family which they're now implementing all around america not just exclusive to black americans pep and because of the education system which has been absolute garbage and it is -- makes me so angry that they are still doing this and that they're now broadening their region saying not just black america. not just black america because one part of the thing is that black americans the growth rate population wise is not significan in a new class of voters bringing in hispanic americans and everyone is calling this border crisis this isn't a border crisis this is a border plan. they're trying to import a new class of voters they're trying to say, this because mexican americans, to the south americans coming over border, we will help you we'll give you free stuff like we gave black americans free stuff. and after jim crow ended we're gong to welfarize you we're going give you handouts and merry you to like black americans to government it is
4:22 pm
pure evil. >> you know candace owens you look at this horrific shooting in atlanta. 8 people were murdered in cold blood. six were asians, the director of the fbi said a few days back that they really don't have any evidence that it was racially motivated. you have an individual who was mentally unhinged with some kind of sexual addiction some kind of issues going on there. and joe biden and kamala harris in atlanta for a different erchght and change events got behind microphone and racialize the entire thing and they talk america systemically racist they talk about america xenophobic surrogates started to trash president trump for his language. and then we have a mass murder in boulder, colorado first they thought it was a white man and that got them very excited. particularly kamala harris's niece and go on social media they say here we go white men
4:23 pm
they like to slaughter people goes on and on they don't know people of the people who were killed they're not even thinking about their families. they're racializing these issues and, of course, they're only racializing it in one direction. these people in the media, these people in democrat party are tearing this country apart don't you think? >> with intention. with pure evil intention. they're tearing this country apart. because they realize that race gives them power because people get emotional about race. right they don't know the facts of the story but if you say this is a white supremacist attack, they know that black americans will instantly get angry that's how they need them rely on that emotion because it is suspend rationality they don't want them thinking clearly or actually pursuing facts. they don't want them looking at the data you hear black lives matter and this idea that we need to take on white supremacy. white nationalism, and yet the statistics tell you that that's not actually true.
4:24 pm
if you believe that black lives matter, then you would address that number one people that attack black americans right -- number one perpetway tore of violence against black americans are other black people. if you believe that asian lives matter and you look at the statistics you would realize that number one group of individuals that attack asian americans number one people that are attacking them violently are black americans. right? and that's speaks to a culture in black america that needs to be fixed and that culture was not created by black americans that was created by democrats systemically created by democrats by lyndon johnson hailed as hero in textbook and he was anything but he was a vowed racist to make sure black americans were families destroyed and turn to government for every single answer and that is why we have a rotten culture in black america today orchestrated by people that always were the racist and that today continues to be the racist and that is the democrat party. mark: we'll be right back.

4:30 pm
with you. here's a book called ideas have consequences by richard weaver brilliant, brilliant man eric sure you've heard of him true believer we have the language beliefs, diane ravage of the study all of these books the origins of totalitarian issue and treason of the intellectuals but julianne and we have raymond iran of the intellectuals. so much of this is coming out of our universities and colleges isn't it and then our universities and colleges come up with these ideas they have these tenure marxist professors, where they -- they long for the old soviet union, or china they
4:31 pm
indoctrinate china and do a movement against colleges and universities. that is clawback the funding. clawback tenure, hold these people accountable because i'm afraid we're going to destroy ourselves. >> you're absolutely correct there's nothing that frustrates me more than when i meet with people who are patriots who are conservatives. and they understand that problem of as existing in this country right now that we're about to lose this country and i i find out they write big checks to universities right you're literally quite literally funding the problem you are funding propaganda we are taking your children and they are turning them into social justice warriors who will go out and they will do the bidding for democratic party and bid for people that seek to actively destroy this countries and people who want to expand government to turn this country into a dictatorship what it feels like and i say this and it is very sad that i have to say this. but at this moment in time make no mistake mark, america is not
4:32 pm
the land of the free. we are masking children we are forced -- force masking our entire society talking about forced vaccination programs in this country. right, kids are being told they can't go to school if they can only learn people have to stay at home you can't see your relatives that is not the land of the free i don't care what is going on in this country. you are, you should never have that much government power. government should never have the power that they have taken from citizens today we're talking about -- removing this second amendment right joe biden is talking about going into the homes and actively taking away guns from citizens. america is no longer land of the free. but i will say this -- it is still the land of the brave. it is time for every single person that is watching this program and every other program to realize you must speak out be encouraged stop saying to yourself, if i say something, i might lose my job. because the bigger threat is that you might lose your country. you might lose your entire country if you don't speak out. and let me tell you something i
4:33 pm
do believe i see god in everything. that right now when you find the courage to speak out to use your platform say i'm going to fight back against universityings i'm going pull my kid out of school and sue some of these universities that are being actively discriminatory to white people you'll see that world and qliewfers conspire against you and i'm telling you this works patriots unite we have to be bold and not be scared anymore of the left we cannot be scared of the mainstream media and not be scared of being called racist or white supremacist i am even called racist and white supremacist we have to be active every single day in all of our actions in all of our choices. mark: brilliantly put whatever our role is in life whatever we are doing in life tiewk your family talk to your friends, talk to your social circle going to church, going synagogue going to mosque, talk. ideas do have consequences. and talking is important you know, i started off with thomas paine this program he's a
4:34 pm
pamphlet we can be of sorts tens of millions of us. revere this country. revere the declaration of the constitution. who do not hate people because of their race or other physical characterizes or anything for that matter. we have an intellectual elite that is stirring the pot that has power in our universities has power in hollywood has power in washington, d.c. they don't live the lives of average people who work with people of another race whether you're working in a restaurant or a grocery store or you're a trucker or electrician or plumber your union nonunion you're a teacher, a police officer, we're working with people of different races and backgrounds all of the time with most diverse magnificent, tolerant country on the face of the earth. but the problem is -- candace that gives an opportunity for those who are not to abuse us. final words from you. >> my final words would be to inspire every single person watching this program to get involved these times are critical but there's no reason
4:35 pm
to be discouraged, i mean, i'm proof of that. i can't tell you how fearful i was when i made decision to speak out as a black conserve tiff odds were incredibly stacked against me but then i realized that the more that i spoke out more freedom that i got. it is going to take corporation, going to take individuals and take people that have their children in school to be inspired enough to say, this is enough. enough is enough. they are wanting to ruin this country they want to ruin your children. they do not want america to be free. and that can only happen when good people sit by and allow it to happen so we should not and i cannot say, tell you mark just to you how much i was inspired by your monologue and really -- from your mouth to god's ears. mark: you're inspiring a lot of people we're thankful you're out there candace owens god bless you we appreciate it very much. >> thank you so much for having me. mark: we'll be right back.
4:36 pm
4:40 pm
welcome bheark any next guest you're familiar with great larry kudlow assistant to president trump for economic policy among other things. and you guys did a hell of a job. you know, larry kudlow, the trump era showed massive economic growth across the board particularly for individuals who normally don't see it and were an advisor to ronald reagan saw massive myc growth, job creation across the board and job creation and economic growth that actually bled into the next presidency. and you see that happening in the biden presidency. but he seems to be a reverting back to all of the policies on steroids that will undermine the private sector undermine growth and is attack on middle class do you agree we me? >> i do it is that last point
4:41 pm
that is so important because contrary to democratic criticism of trump, the reality is trump's corporate tax cuts is small business tax cuts is individual tax cuts, the biggest benefits from those tax cuts and his deregulation, and his energy independence, the major benefits went through the middle class to the blue collar class, and lower on the income scale. they have the biggest growth rates of wages, of income, of household wealth. much greater increases than the top 1% or the top 5%. so when we see these tax hikes coming from president biden and his team they're going to try to make a case that only people will make an over 400,000 dollars will get hit which i think is a silly argument to begin with. but the reality is -- if they reverse the trump tax
4:42 pm
cuts, it is the middle class, the blue collar and lower income, it is minorities black americans, asian americans, hispanic americans, it is women who will be hurt the most by reversing the trump tax cuts because they benefited the most again, income wages wealth, and 50-year lows unemployment so this is a very bad story. and this so-called infrastructure package it is a trojan horse for higher taxes, they're going really damage the economy next year. and it is a trojan horse for the green new deal which is going to really damage the energy sector. >> let's talk about that it is also a massive expansion of the central government. from the constitutional perspective i would argue that our framers never ever would have supported such a thing. and from an economic perspective they swallow up and devour private sector embracing redistribution of wealth and
4:43 pm
embracing the usual class warfare bromides they've used every cycle the democrats but there's something a little different here larry kudlow -- and it is this meeting that biden had and i can tell it was -- it was his legacy he was thinking about he wants to be the biggest statest many american history. he want it is to be bigger than fdr he wants to be bigger than lyndon johnson and bigger than barack obama is that good for the economy? >> no. it is not going to be good for the economy at all. listen, that meeting with the liberal historian does kind of give it away. but right now i would say mr. biden wants to develop kind of the great society on steroids you know the great society to the 50th tower or something. one of the most disturbing aspects of the stimulus bill that just passed so-called stimulus bill and what he's going to try to get passed on the infrastructure stuff which
4:44 pm
they think will go for two packages -- it is a massive expansion of child care tax credits, dependent care tax credits, food stamps, a number of welfare programs, which will not be temporary. they want to make the expansions permanent which will run in trillions of dollars over the next ten years and more. further more, they are completely unraveling the welfare reform of the mid-90s with bill clinton and newt gingrich it was bipartisan which instituted crucial work requirements able body people must seek work and get work to be eligible for any of these benefits. those work requirements have been stripped from the biden welfare increases. and that is a sad tale because that leads to dependency that will undermine the economy
4:45 pm
because those folks will not be working. they will not be participating in the economy. many of them, and that's probably the biggest issue right there. they're going to hand out money eventually they want a universal basic income. for all americans -- and you see some of this popping up in some of the blue states already. this will really damage it will damage families, it will damage the fiber of the country and damage work ethic and damage the economy and some respects mark i fear that almost as much as i fear the gigantic tax cuts that are coming. mark: weal be right back. people were afraid i was contagious. i felt gross. it was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. four years clear. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections

4:49 pm
welcome back larry kudlow we were talking about what the massive spending and redistribution of wealth and -- and entitlements will do to our society and our culture. already, i have people i know who own restaurants and so forth not rich at all telling me we can't get help. we can't get people to work. we're competing with the federal government. isn't this going to be a growing problem? >> well it could be if all of this stuff gets through pep and by the way, it is going to be a vicious partisan effort using,
4:50 pm
you know, 51 vote reconciliation not going to be any bipartisan at all i don't know if it will get through mark but if it does, if it does it will damage the entire work ethic because what you're doing here is you're paying people more not to work than to work. i think most americans want to work. i think that best welfare program is always a good paying job with opportunities to climb the ladder. but that's not what we're seeing. from the biden administration -- and you mentioned earlier about antibusiness views and central planning socialist view. you know, one of the great benefits of donald trump was he wanted to reward success and he used the private sector for example warp speed that was a private partnership he recognized genius and government qowb there to support them and
4:51 pm
free enterprise would run it we saw this under obama and now we're seeing it under mr. biden he wants to punish success o.c. and it does go nothing to do with, quote, paying for an infrastructure package although that's what they're fronting. really is -- they want income redistribution not growth. there's a lot of intellectuals on the progressive left, left who talk about this openly they're not interested in growth. they're interested in redistribution which they think will improve or lower inequality and poverty. just the reverse will happen because they will stunt the economy because they will block incentives because they will cut off supply side of investment production and work. they will create more poverty. they will create greater inequality, trump was first president since reagan reallying to narrow inequality and lower
