On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Biden has unleashed a war on American energy independence and the leftwing alliance for electricity (disguised as climate change activism) is ideological and insane. The country doesn’t have enough electricity to go around, especially since it takes fossil fuels to create electricity in the first place. Biden’s horrific policies on energy have driven Saudi Arabia into an alliance with Russia and will drive up the cost of fuel in the United States. This will seriously damage the lifestyles of Americans on fixed incomes and Biden will simply blame the oil companies and gas station owners for his man-made disaster. Then, American voters must be diligent in defeating the Democrat power structure. We’re either going to vote them out or they’re going to take our power. Democrats are focused on strengthening the power of the state by destroying the relationship between parents and children, dismantling law and order, and our economic system. Later, Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson claims the founders approached the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments in a race-conscious way, but in fact, they approached it from the perspective of equal justice under the law. Brown-Jackson’s legal reasoning is going to make Justice Sotomayor’s opinions look like Oliver Wendell Holmes’s. Sadly, the civil rights movement has adopted the leftist Marxist agenda and if you don’t embrace it, you’re a racist. Afterward, US Sen. Mike Lee joins the show to discuss his re-election race and how it’s never been more important for Republicans to have a majority.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
Ladies and gentlemen, you better have enough firewood if you have a wood burning fireplace, because we are regressing. We are going backwards once again, OPEC. OPEC has said they are going to cut production by two million barrels despite the fact that Biden won over there Graveling. Begging the Arabs for oil, they said no, he’s now pushed Saudi Arabia close to Putin and Russia. Meanwhile, energy independence in the United States was killed. And quickly, within four months of Biden taking office and his party, as I speak, the bureaucracy. He is and has moved full steam ahead. Crippling and sabotaging our fossil fuel industries and our ability to drill, refine and deliver fuel to you. The reliance on electricity. Is ideological and insane. Since we don’t have enough electricity. To do everything they say will be done. Since our electrical grid. Are not as stable as they need to be and not as big as they need to be. And since electricity is created by other fuels. In the first place. But prices are going up and they’re going to go up faster now, prices are going up and they’re going to go up faster. And by the way, as a footnote to the Putin aides who say, why would Russia damage their own pipelines? Because I’ll tell you what’s been going on behind the scenes, it’s easy to figure out. Russia has worked with OPEC, OPEC’s going to cut production by two million barrels. Russia is going to say, of course, that it cannot increase the flow. Of oil, the Eastern and Western Europe, that is to the western countries, it’ll continue to truck and train its fuel out. Particularly to China, which will serve as an. An intermediary for Russia and Saudi oil, so Russia will continue to make a fortune, but where Russia has done and will do is massively increase the price of gasoline and oil, which, of course, will help Russia. It’ll punish Europe and to punish America. Because we are suicidal. We have more. Unused fossil fuel. Than any nation on the face of the earth, and we’re more obstacles to getting to it than ever before. Ever before. Now, here’s part of the problem, we’ll get into some specifics in a little while, because this is seriously going to damage. Seriously going to damage your lifestyle? Your pocketbook, particularly people on fixed incomes, pensions and the like. What’s going to happen now is the shortages are going to take place. Biden will look for others to blame, he will blame the oil companies, of course. The real problem we have now is this. Ideologically. The Democrat Party purposely put this in place, this is a mad man made disaster. Which will cost people their livelihoods, cost people their jobs. And cost the economy enormously. And it was manmade, it was ideologically driven by the Democrat Party exclusively, exclusively. By the so-called climate change activists, that is Marxists, the degrowth movement, this is exactly what they’ve been wanting. Exactly what they’ve been wanting. They got it. But politically, it’s a disaster. So they got the policies they wanted, they instituted the policies they wanted. They had control of Congress, they have control of the White House, they control the bureaucracy, they got exactly what they wanted and they’re not taking their foot. Off their gas pedal, so to speak, they just passed hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidize. Their utopian. Paradise and to destroy reality. That’s exactly what’s taken place, but their problem is it is a disaster politically. So they’ve had this huge ideological success. Which is a disaster politically because the American people reject this. The American people oppose this. And the effects on inflation and the effects on food production, food availability, the price of food. Everything starting with fertilizer is disastrous, the situation is going to get incredibly grave. Biden has unleashed a war. On America’s energy production. And is promoting and proselytizing and ideology. They have massively supported. EVs are electric vehicles. Because the market can’t support it. The radical left and these corporatists together are using these ESG policies to prevent banks, financial institutions and of course, oil industry companies and those related to them from expanding. From putting that kind of research and develop that it’s necessary. To provide you with what you need. So there’s war on the investors. There is a a subsidy for electrical vehicles. And of course, we can’t refine the fuels because she can’t get a refinery up in the last 45 years and refineries are being ordered through regulation to move from refining. Fossil fuels to creating biofuels, there are biofuel mandates. Which are also really not ready for use on a wide scale. They’ve also taken millions and millions of federal acres. Off the market for drilling of any kind. They’ve taken state acres. Off for drilling of any kind through the back door, through regulation, making it prohibitive. They took NYR offline, they took New Mexico offline, they took offshore areas offline. They took pipelines offline, obviously, the Keystone XL pipeline is the most infamous, but there’s many pipelines that they’ve stopped. And they have appointed radical’s. At the EPA, at the Interior Department and elsewhere, the Energy Department. Marxist radicals who at every turn. In the shadows. Without your knowledge, without your knowing, and the media, of course, is not interested. Are using every tool available to the bureaucracy, every bit of red tape, red tape that exists. To prevent. Production, development and research. That’s exactly what this administration is doing. The Securities and Exchange Commission has been unleashed illegally, it has no statutory authority. Through an executive order, the CSG rules. Requiring firms to disclose, disclose so-called climate related risks. So firms are required as a matter of federal regulation. To obtain independent validation for their adherence. To a radical left Democrat Party Marxist agenda. That’s what they’ve done. So now you have accountants and lawyers and lobbyists and so forth and so on, we’re making a fortune. 4Chan, harassing and suing companies. Unfortune. Distracting them. Completely out of control. It’s completely out of control and then they lie. But I want you to think about what they’re doing and what they’re saying and how it is. Absolutely. Viall. And the propaganda that they use. They blame Putin. You know, I have no corner on Putin, I think he’s a monster, but they blame Putin, they blame the entire world market. They blame the oil companies. They blame the gas station owners, if they could, they would blame the gas station attendants and the truckers. But it is they who set policy. Through centralized edicts. Executive orders, regulations, nothing that’s gone through the hands of Congress and the representatives of the people, nothing. Zero. And they are choking the golden goose, they are killing the golden goose that lays the golden egg. Killing it, even the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. It’s half full now. Forty eight hours ago, the Biden administration said they were done tapping it today in response to OPEC, saying it’s actually going to slash to a million barrels a day. They’re going to tap into it again, ladies and gentlemen. They can tap into it. There’s about 400, 440, I think, million barrels left in that strategic reserve. It can take almost 800 barrels, 800 million barrels. It’ll take no time at all to cut through the rest that’s in there. Joe Biden doesn’t build things. He destroys things. That’s what the left us. They don’t build things, they destroy things. They’re going to destroy. The automobile industry to which all but General Motors of the Big Three are all focused on electric vehicles, all focused on electric vehicles, regardless of what the market wants. It doesn’t matter what the market wants on the name of environmental justice, economic equity and other communist like phrases that mean absolutely nothing. But controlling the private sector and destroying capital investment. That’s what’s going on here. From the DEGROWTH movement. The growth of big government movement. That’s what’s going on here. Let me read you something. We propose the following transformation of power relations into decision making for the construction and atai patriarchal people’s power, transformation of food production systems into agro ecological systems, thus ensuring food sovereignty and security, valuing knowledge innovation’s ancestral and traditional practices, transformation of energy production systems, eradicating dirty energies, respecting the right of the peoples to fight poverty and keep fair transition as a guiding principle. Transformation of energy consumption. Patterns for education. Regulations to large energy. Consumers and empowerment of the people over community scaled systems, implementation of participative government of territory and city planning systems, thus ensuring fair and sustainable access to land, shifting from an energy and materials profligates system to a cyclical system that emphasizes the eradication and unsustainable exploitation of nature and promotes reduction, re utilization and recycling of residues. Creation of accessible mechanisms for the protection of the displaced people and defenders of environment. This is from 2014. This is from a meeting of the so-called international environmentalists, a.k.a. Marxists in Europe. This is what their declaration states and this is what the Biden administration is doing. The politics of this is a disaster, but this is exactly what they want to do. This is all manmade. It’s all made by the Democrat Party. It’s on them 100 percent. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 2
Nobody voted for this even during the campaign. Joe Biden was fairly obtuse, as he always is discussing it. I’m not trying to eliminate drilling and fracking in western Pennsylvania. And then, of course, on the other side of his mouth, he says he is the great Tom Sawyer once wrote about Vladimir Lenin said he represented one of the purest examples of a man who operated on the basis of a vision and its categories which superseded the world of flesh and blood to human beings, to the realities within which they lived out their own lives. Only tactically and strategically did the nature of the world beyond the vision matter as means to the end of fulfilling that vision. Lenin’s preoccupation with visions was demonstrated not only by his failure to enter the world of the working class and whose name he spoke, but also his failure to ever enter foot in Soviet Central Asia, a vast area larger than Western Europe and one in which the doctrinaire and devastating schemes of Lenin and his successor would be imposed by force. He said visions are inescapable because the limits of our own direct knowledge are inescapable, and that’s exactly what’s going on here. They sell you a vision, but the reality is impoverishment and pain and destruction.
Hour 1 Segment 3
You know, I would say we need a Manhattan Project to get our country back to energy independence, but instead, I think we need a November project. You have got to vote against every single Democrat on the ballot. I’m not a Republican Party apparatchik. I’m not a special pleader for the Republican Party. But there’s two parties right now. That’s the way it is, that’s the way it is. Even if you don’t support the Republican or the Republican Party, you need to oppose the Democrat. They walk in lockstep and they are destroying America. They are literally destroying America. And we are the only ones who can stop them. You and me. But a third of the country is asleep. Another third hates it. And then a third of it is patriotic, and that’s you and me. It’s that simple, you’re really going to vote for America or against America. There, Patriota, you’re not a patriot. I’m tired of all the static and the mumbo jumbo. It’s that simple. And our strategy has to be and I’m quite serious at this point, despite all the October surprises that are coming and have come, despite all the manipulation by the corrupt media, despite all the efforts. My big tech oligarchs stay focused. The Republicans literally, I cannot stand I will be voting for every one of them. We’ll sort it out later. We’ll put pressure on them later, and you’ve never heard me speak like this before, ever, ever. The Democrats must be taken down or they’re going to take us down from our classrooms to our border. Inflation, the price of fuel, the availability of food. One issue after another, you’re watching the unfolding and the implementation of American Marxism, that’s what it is. Whether it’s energy. Whether it’s gender. Whether it’s race. Whether it’s capitalism. It doesn’t matter at war with all of it. People say to me often, Mark, what’s in it for the Democrats to see increasing crime? Well, think about it. Whereas in crime crazing. What are the policies that the Democrats are putting in place? Why can’t they put in the policies that a dissatisfies or other law and order public officials? What do they do the opposite because they want to take the country down? And even even Karl Marx said for a period of time, there will be despotism. For a period of time. Even Karl Marx said. We must destroy. The relationship of parents to children, so the state. Can make the determinations about how to raise children. Why do you hear Democrats saying parents don’t have rights in the classroom? Why do you hear Democrats saying that we will teach the kids what we think they need to know, sexualizing them perverse? I will repeat perverse viewpoints, perverse viewpoints. Critical race theory and racism, it’s constant. It’s unabiding. Tear it all down, that’s what’s going on. The one thing that gets stronger, the one thing that survives. It’s the government. And for all intents and purposes. Who runs the government, even when Republicans are elected? Who runs the bureaucracy? You notice there aren’t a whole ton of leaks coming out under an Obama abidin. It’s endless under a trump or rag and all we got, we got a whistle blower, so we have to be paraded, not them physically, not their names. But there’s silhouettes. Ticker tape parades, whatever they say, goes, because they’re trying to take out a Republican. Look at the Biden crime family. All right, great show by Tucker last night, look at the Biden crime family. We all know all about it. He’s a crook. He’s corrupt. The whole damn family is. And worse than the mob, look how unpatriotic this family is taking money from communist Chinese front companies. From communist individuals in Russia. From the former regime corrupt regime in Ukraine, they don’t make an honest buck. They never have. That’s who is running the White House. And he picks Kamala Harris to run with him not just because of diversity reasons, but because he knows she’s an idiot. That she won’t be able to challenge him. She won’t be able to threaten him. A Manhattan project, that’s our November project, this isn’t going to stop. The rounding up of American citizens. To put them on public display. Whether it’s a metaphor or a stone. Whether it’s a lawyer for Donald Trump. Whether it’s a pastor. Somebody who supports the pro-life movement. It’s not going to stop. The refusal to enforce the law. Once Supreme Court justices are not just any Supreme Court justices. The originalists on the court are threatened. Refused to enforce federal law. Threatening parents. Monitoring American citizens through the back door. How the hell did the federal government get 13 of my emails? I never got a subpoena. I was never given notice. And there’s absolutely nothing in those emails that are worthwhile, the anything zero, what else did they look at? I’m going to get to the bottom of that, damn it, I am telling you now you stick with me. You stick with me, I’m going to find out who every one of these staffers are on that damn committee, every one of those Congress asses on that damn committee, every damn one of them. I’m not going to be intimidated. Life’s too damn short to be intimidated. Even now, the RNC has brought a litigation against Google. Because Google is censoring hundreds of thousands of RNC communications. In the lead up to this election. Hundreds of thousands. As Zuckerberg poured hundreds of millions effectively into the Democrat campaign. Through the back door like a Sam. Clever individual. And 20, 20. Now we have a Supreme Court justice who I opposed, I told you she’s going to be the most radical justice in American history. On the first day during oral argument, she demonstrated that she is she also demonstrated that she’s an ideologue. And I’ll say an an idiot. That’s right. I said it an idiot. Ketanji Brown Jackson. Which is why she’s celebrating on the left. She is an idiot. She’s lecturing the solicitor general from Alabama about the 14th Amendment. And what she’s basically saying is what the 14th Amendment compels is discrimination because it was born from discrimination. It was born to end discrimination. Therefore, it can be used to advance discrimination. She lies about the history of the 14th Amendment and its author. This was about slavery. Slavery. Not even about race, it was about slavery. And about an. Joining. That’s slaves, former slaves will be treated like human beings. That they would have the right to vote. And other rights that other human beings in America receive. It wasn’t about racial equity. It wasn’t about economic socialism. It wasn’t about cultural Marxism. It wasn’t about discriminating. Government discriminating against one race on behalf of another race. And yet there she is sounding utterly like an ignoramus. Like an ignoramus there, I said it. With her incoherent tirade at the solicitor solicitor general of Alabama. About districts. Voting Rights Act in the state of Alabama. The NAACP, among others, believe there should be two black districts, there’s one black district. But why are there black districts, white districts, green districts, grey districts? Does anybody believe for a second? That’s what the authors and supporters of that amendment had in mind. For a second. Which cut is it, Mr. Producer? We don’t have enough time when we come back, I will play the audio of her and I will reply to it. But one of the things I noticed is she has no respect for the other justices. She takes over the room. She thinks she’s lecturing a bunch of college students and makes a political speech. Got to burn the traditions, baby, got to burn them down. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4 Welcome back. Justice Tanji, Brown, Jackson yesterday, hat tip, Twitter cut, one go, I don’t think we can assume that just because race has taken into account that that necessarily creates an equal protection problem, because I understood that we looked at the history and traditions of the Constitution. Stop right there. So that’s a shot at the originalists. Look at the history and traditions of the Constitution go under is thought about, and when I drill down to that level of analysis, it became clear to me that the framers themselves adopted the equal protection clause, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment, in a race conscious way. No, they didn’t adopted in a Raiche race conscious way. They saw the Ku Klux Klan and what it was doing. They saw what some of the governors and some of the governments in the south were doing to the freed slaves. It had to do with the treatment. Of the former slaves. It wasn’t about the treatment of people of any other race. I’m just saying historically. Wasn’t about the treatment. Of other people, immigrants who’d come to the country. Legally. It wasn’t about the treatment of Jews or Hispanics or Asians or anybody else, race was about the treatment of the former slaves. Related to reconstruction. Sure, then, say, the Joint Committee on Reconstruction. That’s exactly was what it was. It wasn’t the joint committee on race, it was the joint committee on Reconstruction. Go ahead. Were in fact, trying to ensure that people who had been discriminated against the freedmen in during the reconstruction construction period were actually brought equal to everyone else in the society. So I looked at the I don’t know what that means. What they wanted to make sure is that they had equality under the law. That’s what that meant. And this is an important point. And I’ll explain more later. Equality under the law, not that they were brought equal to everyone else, which has a much different meaning, I’m not brought equal to everyone else. You’re not whatever that means, brought equal to everybody else. But you have every right under our Constitution. To be treated equally under the law. Justly under the law, the same right to vote as everybody else. Go ahead. That was submitted by the Joint Committee on Reconstruction Reconstruction, which drafted the 14th Amendment, and that report says that the entire point of the amendment was to secure rights of the freed former slaves. The legislator who introduced that amendment said that, quote, Unless the Constitution should restrain them, those states will all, I fear, keep up this discrimination and crushed to death the hated freedmen that freed men. Post Civil War. Go ahead. That’s not a race neutral or race blind idea in terms it’s not about race neutral race blind. It’s about the men and women and children who were held as slaves and freed after the civil war. Go ahead and even more than that, I don’t think that the historical record establishes that the founders believed that race neutrality or race blindness was required, right. They drafted the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which specifically stated that citizens would have the same civil rights as enjoyed by white citizens. That’s right. Of the same civil rights. As enjoyed by white citizens. Go ahead, act to make sure that the other citizens, the black citizens, would have the same as the white citizens, so they recognized that there was unequal treatment, that people based on their race were being treated unequally. And importantly, when there was a concern that the Civil Rights Act wouldn’t have a constitutional foundation. That’s when the tensions very confounding to me, because the fact is we all know why the 13th, 14th, 15th Amendments were adopted and we know about the civil rights or you may not, but I’ll just inform you, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was really intended to enforce those amendments, particularly the 14th Amendment. What does that have to do with anything? That’s not a justification for affirmative action, it’s not a justification for renewed discrimination based on race of somebody else’s race with a government promoting some other race. Now, as far as I know, this is the first justice who’s taken the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment and is argued that within that clause itself. Within that clause itself. It was founded in. It supports and may even compel discrimination. This is the first I have heard a circular argument like this. It’s really quite appalling. So there she is, a radical who’s now on the Supreme Court, who’s going to make Sotomayor look like Oliver Wendell Holmes? I’ll be right back.
