On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump drew out lie after lie from former VP Joe Biden at last night’s debate. Trump brilliantly called Biden to the carpet for not implementing any of his grandiose plans when he had the opportunity to implement them during his 47 years in public office. Then, the most glaring fact-check was when Biden claimed that he’s never called to end fracking and challenged Trump to put the video of him saying it on his website. Trump tweeted it. Biden’s 110-page manifesto known as the unity task force document on his campaign website was taken to task. The radical energy plan, co-authored by Rep. AOC, will cripple our economy and dramatically raise costs. It will also destroy our energy-production capacity. Later, former President Barack Obama lied more than 36 times saying that people who had health insurance would be able to keep it. This was false. Yet, Joe Biden told that same lie at the final presidential debate and it went unchecked by the moderator. Plus, one question that was obviously missing from the debate was the one regarding any formal denial of the Hunter Biden laptop. Biden won’t say that it’s not Hunter’s laptop, and even Hunter has come forward to deny that it’s his. This is the most corrupt media in American history. Afterward, Senator Lindsey Graham joins the show to discuss the 100 million-dollar attack on his campaign. Graham has fought hard to support Trump and now the DNC is after him. Finally, Senate candidate Daniel Gade calls in with an update on his campaign against Mark Warner, his military service, and how he’s being outspent by the Democrats.

Rough transcript of Hour 1

Hour 1 Segment 1

Feeling a little better today, America. Of course you are. The president had an outstanding debate, hit a home run in one of the things he was able to do was draw out lie after lie after lie by Joe Biden. Joe Biden lied about his health care plan. Joe Biden lied about his economic plan. Joe Biden lied about immigration, the president. Now the man on the cages. Joe Biden lied about his tax plan. And he has the line. Because I have all these plans right in front of me and 110 page manifesto. And of course, as you’ve heard all day, and as you noted yourselves last night, I’m sure when you watched the debate, Joe Biden’s biggest blunder came at the very end. When he did, in fact, talk about trying to eliminate oil and gas, and of course he’ll do the same to coal. And we will have a huge problem when it comes to electricity as well. Press the United States. Made abundantly clear that Joe Biden. He’s a lifelong politician. Over and over again, the president pointed out. The Joe Biden had 47 years in Washington. And then he brilliantly kept saying, Joe. He kept coming up with these proposals and plans and so forth. Why didn’t you do anything about it? He had 47 years to do to do it. You were in office up to four years ago, even less than that. What’s the problem? You didn’t achieve these things on race. The president, the United States also hit it out of the park. I’m not as. Pleased with the moderator, as so many others are. I guess the bar is very low now as long as the moderator isn’t. So utterly aggressive. But the nature of the subjects, the nature, the questions and her constant interruption of the president. And they’ve now done. I count on that. It’s clearly very, very lopsided. It was quite obvious to me. And she kept giving Biden opportunities to respond. I don’t believe it helped Biden. I don’t know what impact this will have on the election, it really doesn’t matter to me. You should be voting if you can early in person. You should be getting 5 the 10 people, you know, voting debate. No debate. Rain, sun. Doesn’t matter. But I decided. To go back into the 110 page manifesto and I’m glad my phraseology this cohort, because it gets under Biden’s skin. And of course, we have, like so many others do, the video, the audio, the video that. Joe Biden said doesn’t exist and we’ll get to that later about fracking and oil. Now, why is this important? Because there are hard working men and women. Who make this and this country run on energy? They’re coal miners. They are fractures. They work oil rigs. They are truckers. These are people who earn modest incomes and work extraordinarily hard to make sure this country functions. Oil, natural gas, coal to electricity. I want you to think about a country without it because we’d be absolutely destitute. And the left has switched sides. The left used to demand that we become energy independent. Now that we are in fact energy independent, thanks to American know how American capitalism, American technology they are now demanding. That would destroy. That we destroy our energy capacity. And that would become throwbacks. And somehow these people who have no background in science, even though they keep pointing to science, no background in engineering, no background in any of the skill sets. And educational qualifications to do all they want to do with solar power and wind energy and all the rest of it. They want us to throw all of this away. On a pipe dream. On an abstraction. This would become an incredible national security issue. The communist Chinese are rooting for the Democrats and Joe Biden. They can think of nothing better. Then they have the greatest economy, the greatest superpower on the face of the earth destroying itself. And let me be abundantly clear. We destroy our energy sources, we destroy ourselves. And Joe Biden was smirking and making faces when the president, the United States said that AOC. Was responsible for his environmental and energy policy. Remember that, Mr. Producer, last night? Well, if you look at Page 6 of the Biden Sanders Unity Task Force recommendations. They had the signal signatures. To that particular part of the plan. You have former Secretary of State John Kerry and the number two person is the co-chair, the co-chair is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. There she is. And by the way, western Pennsylvania, Conner Lamb is also. Also one of the authors of this catastrophic. Non energy plan that will. Hugely harm the nation and really destroy the economies of so many of our states, including the western part of Pennsylvania. Connor Land Congressman is on this. LA Gina McCarthy was a radical in the Obama administration at the EPA. She’s on the list. But AOC Alexandria has got that. She’s a co-chair. Of this committee. The president was right. And when Obama excuse me, when Biden did one of his his face moves, he was lying. Now, it says in here, and I’m quoting. To reach net zero emissions as rapidly as possible. Democrats commit to eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035 through technology neutral standards for clean energy and energy efficiency. That’s 15 years from now. No one. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. So they have to lie and fear monger in order to get you to embrace this carbon dioxide, unlike monoxide, is not a pollutant. Anybody who has successfully finished a third grade science class knows about osmosis. We breathe in oxygen, we breathe out carbon dioxide. When you wear these masks. When Joe Biden wears a mask, he wears it to the bathroom, he wears it to go to sleep. They have to put a straw into the mass so he can sip his oatmeal in morning, noon and night. You’re inhaling your own carbon dioxide. You exhale carbon dioxide, you do not exhale a pollutant that is idiotic. So they say to reach net zero emissions as rapidly as possible. Democrats commit to eliminating carbon pollution. So there’s no such thing as carbon dioxide pollution from power plants. By 2035. Through technology neutral standards, there are no technology neutral standards that will enable us to eliminate carbon pollution from power plants 100 percent by 2035 and 15 years. What has to happen and what they will do is they will shut down. They will shut down power plants. That do not meet their goals. And when you shut down power plants that do not meet our goals. These are electric producing power plants. Got it. Electric producing power plants. So in 15 years and actually it’ll be less than 15 years as they go through this process. You are going to see the cost of electricity skyrocket. You’re going to see the rationing of electricity. You’re going to see brownouts and blackouts. You’re going to see the prioritization of the use of electricity. That’s what’s going to happen. Now, there’s an abundance of electricity. You can leave the lights on. You could do whatever you want. You need to understand what’s coming. Then they say in five years. Within five years, I’m quoting, we will install five hundred million. That’s half a billion. So solar panels. Including eight million solar roofs and community solar energy systems and 60000 made in America wind turbines. Can you imagine? Sixty thousand of these massive wind turbines. Thousand across the country. Half a billion solar panels. Where are these going to come from? Less than five years. Who’s going to manufacture them? Well, it’s not going to happen, but in the process of compelling it to happen, they’re going to destroy. Our economy and destroy our energy capacity. And it’s unbelievable. I’ll go on page three. We will set a bold national goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for all new buildings by 2030. 20, 30 is in 10 years. If, God forbid, Obama Biden is elected, it’s nine years on the pathway to creating 100 percent clean building sector. So in 10 years, the national goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions for all new buildings so high you can heat your buildings. How big an air condition your buildings. Well, they’re going to control what materials can be used. This is what the president was talking about when it comes to windows, windowless offices because windows. Not considered energy efficient. You can have energy efficient windows in the context of windows, but if you have no windows, a room is actually more energy efficient, so you can imagine the kind of buildings they have in mind. You heard the cameo a couple of years ago say. We’re not gonna have windows in these buildings anymore. Why? Well, this is why. One hundred percent. You know, this is like Marxism, we’re going to one hundred, not fifty percent, not a third, not to one hundred percent. So you’re going to have national zoning within five years, we will incentivize tens of billions of dollars in private sector investment to retrofit some four million buildings. So you’re going to be forced to retrofit your buildings and at some point. Your houses. Now, while they’re reducing the amount electricity. They’re going to increase the demand for electricity. Because they are going to create 500,000, half a million public charging stations from coast to coast for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles. Half a million electric school buses. But we’re going to shut down. Electricity producing utilities. Unless they can be 100 percent carbon neutral. Ain’t going to happen. I’m just telling you. What’s in store this will affect farmers. It’ll affect people who work in office buildings, it’ll affect people who drive cars and tractors. People who drive trucks. It will affect everything, you know, we talk about the national grid, how the national grid, our electrical grid, could come under attack and get knocked out. Ladies and gentlemen, the Biden Sanders manifesto. We’ll do more to knock out our electrical grid than anything any foreign countries ever attempted. So apart from the impact, the massive impact. On the price of electricity, the price of natural gas, the price of gasoline at the pump, which will go up to 3-4 times if he can get it. You’re going to see shortages, brownouts, blackouts, you’re going to see economic dislocation. Apart from all that. Our enemies are going to love it. This will empower the Arabs in the Middle East. This will empower Russia, which is sitting on a ton of oil. This will empower China and probably provoke China to take steps that would normally take against the United States because it’s going to see a weakening and weak United States. They are praying our enemies. That Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are elected now. This is just energy. I haven’t gotten to the rest of it yet. We’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 2

But you think of a couple other things before we get this, some of the audio related to this fracking and oil production and so forth. It is the kind of government that can force companies to produce what the government says those companies must produce. It’s the kind of government that will tell you what kind of automobile you can drive. It’s the kind of government that will tell union workers what they will produce. It’s the kind of government that will tell people all over the country, including in the suburbs. By the way. What’s your energy consumption will be? And you need to think about the domino effect here. Any permit that has power like this in our constitution does not confer power like this on the federal government. Any government that has power like this is going to be able to tell you it’s somebody. Listen to me. I know what I’m talking about. How many vehicles your family can own? What kind of vehicles your family can own? How much gasoline your family can use on their vehicles? Eventually. What size houses you can live in, the material your houses need to be built out of, the energy consumption will be monitored and they’ll determine how much energy you can actually use. This is, as we say, a slippery slope and it is tyrannical because none of these pie in the sky plans can work. None of them because the government can’t create what the politicians demand. But what will happen is, as is always the case, the iron fisted government will get bigger and bigger and bigger as it surrounds your neck. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 3
I’m trying to convey is this issue about fracking and oil, gas and coal and electricity is not just about those who actually produce it and transport it and bring it to our homes and our automobiles and so forth. It’s about everyone in. Look around. The price of fuel affects the price of food. Food has to be produced. It has to be transported, has to be packaged often in plastics. The price of clothing. Yes, petroleum products are in most of the clothing that you wear. The price of housing. Yes, petroleum products are used for many of the materials that go into your house. But even more than that, your utility bills. I’m gonna go through the roof. And the price of transportation. The cost of a gallon of gasoline is going to double or triple. If he can get it. In addition to the costs, you’re going to have shortages. This isn’t a scare tactic. You got to look at California. California is the petri dish. That’s what they’re looking at. You’re going to have shortages of electricity, shortages of fuel. You’re going to have rationing. And you’re going to have brownouts and blackouts for all the talk about working from home. It’s gonna be much more difficult to work from home if you don’t have the electricity you need, among other things. So this energy plan, you might say, well, hell, I don’t live in western Pennsylvania, I don’t live in Kentucky, I don’t live in West Virginia, don’t matter. Those people are going to be affected immediately. And grievously. But the entire country is going to be affected. Even the United States military, that depends on this. There just aren’t a hop choose me. There aren’t a lot of solar energy tanks. And jeeps and personnel carrier, they’re just out there, just aren’t. In addition of that, his tax plan. While he does class warfare and he wants you to believe it only affects millionaires and billionaires, he’s a liar. Please listen. He says he wants to appeal to me, repeal the Trump tax cuts if he repeals the Trump tax cuts. Those of you who are listening to me who earn forty five thousand, fifty, fifty five thousand. You will see your tax bills increased by five hundred dollars. In addition, his tax plans and regulation plans over a period of 10 years cannot do a Stanford University Hoover study last week or earlier this week or result in the loss of 5 million jobs. 5 million jobs. And what do you think his energy plan is going to do? Now, I want you to listen to this, not because it’s gotcha. Not because he blew it during the debate, which he did, but because you really need to understand what is taking place here. He is trying to conceal what he’s doing and what he wants to do. Here’s part of the debate from last night, cut for go. OK, I have one final body closed, Linda, this fall. Would you close down the other way? I have a transition from their own industry. Yes. Oh, that transition happened? That is a big statement. That’s because I would stop. Why would you do that? Because the oil industry pollutes significantly. I said here’s the deal. But it’s a big step. Well, if you let me finish the statement, because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time, over time. And I’d stop giving to the oil industry. I’d stop giving them federal subsidies. You won’t get federal subsidies to the gas and shoot me to the oh, to solar and wind. Why are we giving it to oil industry? We actually do go right to solar and wind. We’re even the biggest segment in terms of business. That’s the biggest deal. Because he’s only rising because he is going to destroy the oil industry. Well, you remember that, Texas. OK. Remember that? Pennsylvania, Oklahoma. Vice President Biden. Let me give you 10 seconds to rely on. I have. That’s why she kept interrupting the president. You know, she’s getting kudos, but not from me, because the president was exposing this and going in for the kill. And as I say, this is very, very important. He says our oil industry pollutes horrible. Our oil industry is not responsible for most of the pollution that’s in the atmosphere. It’s China. It’s India, it’s Russia. It’s not the United States. And I’m tired of the American people being blamed for this all the time. What we have done is unbelievable. The most efficient. And an economy on the face of the earth. On the face the year and later in that clip, and for some reason we don’t have it. They talk about the clip, they talk about, well. I never said I would ban fossil fuels, the president said. Yes, you would. And this is a montage that’s been playing all day today. Cut five, go. Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking? In a Biden administration? No, we would. We would work it out. We would make sure it’s eliminated. And no more subsidies for either one of those. I guarantee you we’re going to end fossil fuels no more. No new fracking gradually move away from fracking. And I think it’s critically important on day one that we end any fossil fuel leases on public lands. What about fracking? In my mind and I’m sure they won’t do the same thing. They want to phase out fossil fuels and we’re going to phase out fossil. There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking. This is serious. And again, those you who are not in the oil patch. This is going to affect you right down the line. Why do we produce oil, natural gas, electricity and coal? Why do we produce it for you, the user who didn’t use it, it wouldn’t be produced, but only have a three hour program. So I need to move ahead. Let’s look at health care now. Biden lied. He said the public option would be offered to people on Medicaid. Now the public option will be offered to everybody. He’s going to destroy the private health care system and he’s going to destroy Medicare. Now on page 31 of the Communist Manifesto, the Biden. Sanders Manifesto, it says in part, Democrats believe we need to protect, strengthen and build upon our bedrock health care programs. Clearly, the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, Medicaid and the V.A. system, private insurers need real competition to ensure they have incentive to provide affordable, quality coverage to every American. To achieve that objective, we will give all Americans, says all Americans. The choice to select a high quality, affordable public option. Through the Affordable Care Act marketplace, the public option will provide at least one plan choice without deductibles will be administered by the traditional Medicare program, not by private companies, and will cover all primary care without any copayments and control costs for other treatments by negotiating prices with doctors and hospitals. Just like Medicare does on behalf of older people. Now, if that’s not nationalizing the health care system, I don’t know what is. So everyone’s going to pick the public option because you’re going to get a ton of freebies that private insurance companies simply cannot offer you. They simply cannot offer you the lowest income Americans not eligible for Medicaid will be automatically enrolled in the public option at no cost. At no cost. Goes on the four point eight million adults who should be eligible for Medicaid, but who live in states where the Republican governors have refused to expand a program. Democrats will make the public option available to all of them. Without any premiums. Without any premiums. So they want to pretend that they’re offering a public option. No, they are going to devour the private sector. They’re going to have tens of millions of more people getting into the public health care, which is Medicare. It’s Medicare through the back door. At the same time, they’re lowering the age of Medicare from 65 to 60. They’re going to destroy the Medicare program and they’re going to destroy the private health care market. This is a poison pill. This is exactly what this does in the present. United States was exactly correct. When he said you you believe in socialist healthcare. Now among those who were on the committee. That created this plan, and I look at the end of this time, page 37 is representative paramilitary Jaya Paul. Premier Jaya Paul, in my view, is a Marxist. She’s radical leftist and she has been pushing for, among other things, Medicare for all. She’s on the committee. It helped develop this. So this isn’t just about covering people with pre-existing conditions. This is a poison pill that has as its purpose. That destruction of the private health insurance system, a private health care and the nationalization of health care. So on top of destroying the private energy system. On top of destroying. The ability to get access to cheap electricity and natural gas and oil and so forth and so on as that resonates through our economy, keeps our prices down and keeps our economy vibrant and keeps people employed. In addition to destroying that. They’re going to destroy the private health care market. That one hundred and eighty million Americans now have now they’re going to we’re not stopping you from getting it. They are sabotaging the private health care system. That’s what they’re doing. They are nationalizing the system, not even slowly but surely but surely. And Medicare will be destroyed. Have you noticed senior citizens, whether it’s Obamacare or this plan? The focus is always the target is always Medicare. And taxes. For lower middle class individuals will go up two thousand twenty five hundred dollars. So I’m not going to just sit here and analyze the debate. I’m telling you what they’re doing. They’re telling us this. They’re telling us this. On top of that. They’re going to stop all physical barrier building on this. Only on the on the border. All of it. All of it. And they’re going to offer illegal aliens or, as they put it, anybody in the United States health care. That is medical suicide. How long do you think it’s going to take to see a doctor, let alone a specialist? What are the emergency rooms going to look like in this country? How are the hospitals going to be able to fund themselves and survive? This is part of the plan. It’s right here in this damn manifesto. So people who are in this country, who are not citizens. People who are in this country and a illegal. We’ll have access not just for emergency rooms, but the health care. Who’s going to pay for that? Nobody. We don’t have enough doctors and nurses and hospital rooms and all the rest. What about all the infections that people have when they come in from the third world and undeveloped? None of that’s even considered. None of it. None of it. Industry after industry. Societal sector after societal sector. They are targeting. In addition to this, they intend to destroy the Constitution. By packing the Supreme Court, destroy the Senate, by packing the Senate. Destroy the filibuster rules so they can get anything passed that they want. And it eventually to attack the Electoral College so they will have power forever. They intend to institute these plans as fast as they can. And nothing will stop them. You might say your cheese. I voted for Biden, I thought he was a moderate. Now this is. I didn’t like Trump. You know, next time I vote Republican next time. May not matter. Don’t you understand? The system will be fixed and I mean fixed, like reformed, Amin fixed, so it goes one way. You can’t make a mistake this time. More when I return.

Hour 1 Segment 4

I’m trying to lay out really the dire circumstances. If there’s a bind when your constitution will be eviscerated, your way of life will be eviscerated with the attack on energy, the massive tax increases across the board, a regulatory federal government completely out of control, no more checks and balances because they intend to unconstitutionally alter our system of government. This should cause fear in each and every one of you. They will destroy your health care system. Those of your private health care, you will lose it over time. Just as Joe Biden lied about anybody who wanted to keep their insurance, your doctor could have kept their insurance. And I flat out lied. And so influx of illegal aliens, you can see that’ll affect jobs across the country, particularly the lower end of the spectrum where people are trying to get their first job or trying to get a salary increase as they move along. There can now be competing with the legal, employment and illegal aliens, which will also drag on the school systems and also drag on the health care. Is it just a matter of basic economics does not do with race. It’s a fact. This is this is a a such a radical. And rapidly radical aggressive agenda. That it is really quite troubling. The Wall Street Journal James Freeman, again, somebody who I really enjoy reading, says Americans wondering what a Biden administration would do to their health care cannot be reassured by the former vice president’s comments on the subject last night. Biden resurrected a claim about the last great government intervention in the medical markets that has gone down as one of the most consequential falsehoods by government official in years. What’s he talking about? His term about the lies, the endless lies that were told by Obama about Obamacare. And now they’re running around telling you how wonderful Obamacare is. Obamacare is a disaster. It’s an absolute disaster, and he points out that that in response to Donald Trump’s argument that Biden’s creation of a Newark health care plan would destroy private health plans. Biden said not one single person with private insurance would lose their insurance under my plan. Nor did they under Obamacare care. They didn’t lose their insurance unless they chose. They wanted to do something else. So nothing short of stunning that Biden is still trying to get away with this claim about the so-called Affordable Care Act, which he championed alongside. Of course, Obama. My grievance, he says, is not political. All my energies are directed to enjoying life and staying alive, and I have no time for politics. How? I’m one of the losers, he says, from a seven years I have fought and survived stage for gall bladder cancer with a five year survival rate of less than 2 percent after diagnosis. This is Edie Littlefield, Sunbeam, who wrote to the journal in November 2013. I’m determined fighter and extremely lucky. But this luck may have just run out. My affordable, lifesaving medical insurance policy has been canceled effective December 1, thanks to Obamacare. There are millions of examples like this, millions of example like this and dozens of times. Obama and Biden lied about it. You see, it’s very easy to talk about utopia in the future if you’ll just surrender yourselves to it. Jess, vote for Biden. Nirvana’s over the horizon.
