On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed as Supreme Court Justice without a single Democrat vote, creating another precedent towards destroying the Supreme Court. While the leftist Democrats lie and say that Barrett’s confirmation was rushed there are plenty of historical examples of confirmations that occurred in just days and some being confirmed on the same day they were nominated. Not a single President has ever abdicated their responsibility to nominate in an election year when a vacancy has occurred at the end of their term. The Constitution limits the power of the federal government so that the individual is empowered by their God-given rights. Then, despite their three million dollar home, the Biden’s gave an average of $369 to charity, according to USA Today in 2008. Later, President Trump will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents and the idea that the American people will cut his time short is a shocking possibility. Afterward, US House candidate Madison Cawthorn calls in with an update on his campaign for North Carolina’s 11th congressional district. Cawthorn also invited the nation to pray for the upcoming election.

Rough transcript of Hour 1
Hour 1 Segment 1
I hope you had a good weekend. Listen, I want to underscore, if you have early voting in your state and you can vote in person like we have in Virginia and they have in Florida and other places, then please do it. In-person voting. It’s like in-person voting on election day. So if you have early in-person voting in your state, please do it. I’m sure the lines on election day will be significantly longer than typical. But be prepared to wait for five, six hours and maybe 30 minutes. I don’t know. But under no circumstances, skip voting. But it’s important that you get 5 or 10 people to vote with you. Or we’re going to lose. We’re going to lose if we don’t get more people to vote. We have to overcome not only the normal situation, we have to overcome likely fraud. Okay. So you’re the Thomas Paine’s. You’re not summer soldiers. Near the Paul Reveres you’re warning people, I know we really need to be activists, real activists. Okay. And I’m going to keep talking about this. So Amy Coney Barrett’s going to be confirmed tonight without a single Democrat vote. Which is grotesque. And Susan Collins will be voting against her, too. She says on principle. That’s not principle. Susan Collins is playing to the left in the state of Maine because she’s behind. But I’m telling you, ladies and gentlemen, for a vote like this one, not a single Democrat. The Democrats have not created another precedent as they seek to burn down the Supreme Court. And I want to tell my originalist constitutionalist friends, some of whom are in the media. I have long argued for term limits for Supreme Court justices. I am glad the left is beginning to talk about this. What we have to be careful about is the circumstances under which they want to do it because they never do anything because it’s right. They do things because they are looking for an edge. They’re trying to grab power. But I support term limits for Supreme Court justices, as a matter of fact, I wrote about it. In my first book, Men in Black way back 15, 16 years ago and I still believe in he can’t grandfathered in into a retroactively, but I’m talking about going for the process needs to be figured out and worked out. That’s my opinion. It’s always been my opinion. Now they’re talking about and they keep saying this the first time in American history that a a individual will have been confirmed as a justice. This close to an election. This is how the media work. This is how the Democrats work. The Democrats have been saying it, so the media burped back to you. They burp it up. Well, why don’t we take a look at some of the history of Supreme Court justices and their confirmations? Because for most of our history, Supreme Court justices were confirmed without hearings. It’s only since the court has become highly political due to the left. That they view it as their own private plaything. That that we’ve had these issues starting at the very beginning, the first chief justice, the United States, John J. You may have heard of John J. One of the authors, minor authors or the Federalist Papers, but more than that. He was nominated. On September 24th, 1789, and confirmed on September 26, two days. John Rutledge among the first crop of associate justices, same thing confirmed in two days. No hearings. William Cushing. Who was? Who was nominated by Washington on September 24th, confirmed on September 26, sworn in on February 7th. That specific document I owned and I. Donated it to the Heritage Foundation. Excuse me. Geez. To Hillsdale College, sorry. Two days, two days, two days, two days, all the original justices on the Supreme Court, two days. Thomas Jefferson nominated Rutledge. Seven days. Seven days. Excuse me, I’m sorry, Washington nominated Thomas Johnson, another Washington nominee, one day another Washington nominee, zero days, who was confirmed the same day was nominated. And there’s several of those. Now John Adams. His first nominee was nominated on December 19th and confirmed on December 20th, 1798. His next nominee. It’s nominated on December 4th, confirmed December 10th. And you can go through this. And let’s come more to closer to modern times. All right, but I’m just giving a example. It’s not to say some didn’t take a while who were controversial and so forth, but nothing like some of the dates and times it takes today. I am moving through. Let’s. Let’s try this. Let’s go to Franklin Roosevelt. Hugo Black. Who’d been a lawyer for the Klan? Five days. He was confirmed in five days. Stanley for Forman Read Stanley Reed. Justice Reed. He was confirmed in 10 days, these are Franklin Roosevelt nominees. Felix Frankfurter. He was confirmed in 12 days. William O. Douglass. And these are without hearings confirmed in 15 days. Frank Murphy confirmed in 14 days. Harlan Stone. Confirmed in 15 days without hearings. James F. Burns, who was a close confidant of Roosevelt’s, he was confirmed in 0 days, the same day he was nominated, he was confirmed. That’s. 1941. Let’s take a look at Truman. His first nomination. Harold Burton. It’s confirmed the same day nominate him September 19th, he was confirmed on September 19th. Fred Vinson, Justice Vinson, 14 days. Justice Clark. Some of these names might be familiar to you scholars at their 16 days. Justice Minton, 19 days. Then we get to Republicans. Eisenhower, his first nominee was Earl Warren, 49 days. He nominated John Marshall Harlan the second. Sixty five days. William Brennan. Yuck. Sixty four days. Potter Stewart. Was nominated by Eisenhower. One hundred and eight days. So you see what happened here after Truman. They kind of stuck at the Eisenhower. Then John Kennedy, Byron White. Eight days. Lyndon Johnson. Excuse me. John Kennedy again. I’m looking at a long list here. Arthur Goldberg. Twenty five days. Lyndon Johnson. A, he nominates Abe Fortas. 14 days and Fortas would later have to resign due to corruption. Then it starts to get ugly. Lyndon Johnson, Thurgood Marshall, 78 days. You can thank the Democrats from the South. Let’s see here then we have Richard Nixon. Warren Burger, 17 days. Clement Haynesworth was rejected. Ninety two days, Harold Carswell was rejected seventy nine days. Then he goes to Harry Blackman disaster. Twenty seven days. Lewis Powell. Forty five days. Rehnquist Forty nine days. Now we move on. Take a look at Reagan. Reagan nominates what Rehnquist, who is already on the court as chief justice. 89 days. Antonin Scalia. Eighty five days. Robert Bork fought like hell. The vote was 58 to 42. He lost one hundred and fourteen days. Anthony Kennedy Sixty five days. David Souter, 69 days. Clarence Thomas, ninety nine days. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 42 days and we go on. Anyway, the point is this. All these efforts to transfer this a historic first day rush through Amy, Kony, Barrett and so forth and so on. Don’t believe all this crap. You’ve had justices that have taken four months. You’ve had justices that have been confirmed exactly the same day they’ve been nominated. So there’s nothing really historic about this unless you want to create history out of this. And the fact of the matter is. That no president in American history. This is the key has ever failed to nominate. An individual for the Supreme Court when a vacancy has occurred at the end of their first or second term, regardless of campaigns. Not one. Donald Trump would have been the first one, and, you know, he was never going to do that. Twenty two presidents have done it now. Twenty three on twenty nine occasions and now thirty. That’s the bottom line. There’s nothing inappropriate about any of this. Waiting for the voters. The Democrats want to destroy the Supreme Court. Ladies and gentlemen, the voters don’t want them to do it. The polls say no. We’re not gonna wait for the voters. The voters already spoke, the president’s, the president, the Senate’s the Senate. And let’s hope that Amy Coney Barrett turns out to be. As great as she sounds. Because once individuals get on the court, they often change, not Clarence Thomas, not Antonin Scalia. No, not William Rehnquist. And I believe. Justice soon to be Associate Justice Barrett. I believe she’ll be among them. We shall see. I’ll be right back, my friend.
Hour 1 Segment 2
I should have added Sam Alito. He’s been outstanding. You know, there’ve been speeches on the floor of the Senate, ladies and gentlemen, pro and con. Judge Barrett soon to be Justice Barrett, and there’ve been conservatives who done really a hell of a job. Mike Lee among them. But the leftists in the Senate, just so you understand. They view the Constitution originalism is an attempt to discern what the framers meant by the words in the Constitution. The public meaning of the words in the Constitution. In other words, justices are not supposed to go far afield. Lifetime appointments. They’re supposed to uphold the Constitution. They take an oath to faithfully do that. Of course, the progressives have changed all that. Woodrow Wilson famously said that the way they’re going to have significant changes and promote the progressive agenda is through the courts. Ed Markey was on the floor of the Senate today. He called originalism racist, sexist and homophobic. That’s how he views the Constitution. Angus King named after a favorite family cow of Maine. He said this morning that originalism makes no sense. He said it’s been invented as a cloak to cover a theory that would take us back to 1933. So you’re talking about senators who are relatively dimwitted. Who have radical left agendas. And the Constitution stands in their way. And that’s the nature progressivism you’ve read about it and rediscovering Americanism and so forth. The Constitution limits the role of the central government. When you’re a progressive or a leftist or a democratic socialist or a Marxist, you don’t want limits placed on the central government. And that’s the problem they have with the Constitution. That’s the problem they have with Barrett. That’s the problem they have with originalism and originalists on the court. Because the the constitution and if upheld by the Supreme Court is supposed to protect the individual, not in power, the politician. In terms of protecting racism and sexism. And then it’s homophobic. I have no idea where this guy, Ed Markey, is coming from. No idea. Racism, sexism. And homophobia doesn’t come out of the Supreme Court, came mostly out of the Democrat Party. Ed Markey is party. And yet he’s still a Democrat. So let’s get that straight. Number one. Number two. The Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. As applies to the states in the 14th Amendment was ratified by the states. Now, although the states were focused on blacks in that particular situation, recently freed black slaves, obviously. Equal protection is something that can be drawn back to the Declaration of Independence, which they also reject. They reject the Declaration of Independence, has a very nice statement from from revolutionaries back then. But as Woodrow Wilson would say, what’s that have to do with us? And that’s why they they admit under God or the creator in the Declaration of Independence. So the 14th Amendment is what outlaws discrimination based on race and sex and so forth and so on. Anyway, more when I return.
Hour 1 Segment 3
By the way, if the standard is not originalism, the try and actually discern what was meant by the by those who authored and ratified the Constitution, then what is the standard then? What is the standard for that for the left, its political. It’s the same standard if you’re a senator, you remember the House, you’re a governor. Same standard, but that’s not the way it’s supposed to work. Want to take a little bit more about Joe Biden, shockingly, thanks to the New York Slimes. Mike McIntyre and Serge F. Kovalev Ski. If that is his name for the millions of voters getting know him, Senator Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, portrays himself at times as an average guy, takes the train to work, frets about money and basically has led a middle class life. Ladies and gentlemen, your kitchen table is like mine. Mr Biden said when Senator Barack Obama introduced him as his running mate. You sit there at night after you put the kids to bed and you talk you talk about what you need. You talk about how much you’re worried about being able to pay the bills. So does Joe. Well, not really. Mr. Biden certainly can trace his roots to the working class neighborhoods of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Claymont, Delaware, where he was raised. But these days his kitchen table can be found in a six thousand eight hundred square foot, custom built colonial style house on four lakefront acres, a property worth close to three million dollars. Although he is among the least wealthy members of the Millionaires Club, that is the United States Senate. This isn’t 2008 two thousand eight. He and his wife Jill, a college professor, and twenty two hundred fifty thousand a year. Mr Biden maintains a lifestyle that’s more comfortable than the impression he may have given on the campaign trail. So I’ve gone back 12 years. This is before he was a private citizen, before all those speeches and before that money. On a senator’s salary. A review of his finances found that when it comes to some of his largest expenses, like the purchase and upkeep of his home and his use of Amtrak trains to get around, he benefited from resources and relationships not available to average Americans. Don’t you want to buy the New York Slimes? Didn’t update this article as a secure incumbent who has rarely faced serious competition during 35 years in the Senate. Mr. Biden’s been able to dip into his campaign treasury to spend thousands of dollars on home landscaping and some of his Amtrak travel between Wilmington, Delaware, where he lives in Washington back then. And maybe today you could use campaign funds as personal perks and the acquisition of his waterfront property a decade ago involved wealthy businessmen and campaign supporters, some of them bankers with an interest in legislation before the Senate who bought his old house for top dollar, sold him for acres at cost and lent him half a million dollars to build his new home. How do you like that, Mr. BDC? Who needs Hunter Biden when you’re a crook on your own? There’s nothing to suggest, of course, that Mr Biden bent any rules in the sale. No purchase and financing of his homes. Rather, he appears to have benefited at times from the simple fact of who he is a United States senator, not just Amtrak Joe or lunch bucket Joe. The train riding every man that the Obama Biden campaign is deployed to rally middle class voters. Quote, He was a VIP, so it was treated accordingly by the bank, said Ronald Tenant, a former loan officer who handle the mortgages. Mr. Biden used to build his house. The bank did not give him a below market interest rate, a perk that has caused embarrassment for some members of Congress. But tenants said we pay particularly close attention and make sure everything came out right. Mr Biden’s campaign said that he neither received special treatment nor offered any. Why is this B.S. guys earn anywhere from one hundred forty to one hundred sixty thousand dollars a year and he buys a three million dollar home. Yeah, right. The senators said David Wade is spokesman, is never forgotten where he came from. Well, they can’t say that now, can they? Mr Bush is a. He definitely doesn’t know where he’s coming from, he doesn’t know what to eat for breakfast, has never forgotten where he came from or how he grew up in the middle class. Values motivate his work for for the middle class. Ladies and gentlemen. The man was elected to the Wilmington City Council, I think when he was about 25 years old, fresh out of law school. He was elected to the United States Senate and 29 and sworn in at the age of 3. What is this middle class stuff? He’s been in government his entire life. As repayments by Biden’s campaign committee Citizens for Biden, his aides insist that they were not used to cover the senator’s living expenses, which would be illegal. Election, Laura said the law does not spell out all the ways an office holder could benefit personally from the use of campaign money, and that regulators are generally reluctant to challenge the justifications campaign committees use. Mr Biden’s campaign said the payments to treat trimmers on lawn surfaces, typically totalling a few thousand dollars a year, were permissible because they were tied to political events at his home. Yes. He was having fundraisers with squirrels. Jim Whittaker, co-owner of Grass Roots Inc. Which was paid over four thousand dollars in 2000, said the payment probably represented several visits to the senator’s private property, adding that Mr. Biden was late paying the bill. One time we cut the grass, put side down form, did spring cleanings, mulching, knocked down vegetation. One time we did a mulching job and he was having an event, but I don’t know if it was political or just for friends beyond landscaping cause. One of Biden’s campaign’s largest regular expenditures for Amtrak tickets for the senator’s aides or consultants going back to 2001. They range from nine thousand fifteen thousand a year, far exceeding that of his colleagues in Delaware’s congressional delegation, whose campaign spent between five hundred and three thousand dollars, federal election records show. Like Mr Biden, Delaware’s other senator, Tom Carper and Representative Michael Castle commute daily in Washington, their office said. So that means he was going first class. And it was pretty expensive. Biden’s aides acknowledge he sometimes uses campaign money to pay for trips, that they involved a meeting or event related to his campaign. The Biden campaign’s Amtrak expenses have remained high even in years without elections when he was not actively campaigning and his committee retained a handful of part time staff members and almost no consultants. Ten thousand dollars, almost eleven thousand dollars in 2003. Now, again, these are 2008 dollars. Mr. Biden’s Amtrak travels this stuff, a Washington lawyer, at least by Senate standards, Biden doesn’t have to try too hard to underscore his relative lack of wealth. He’s long shouldered, heavy debt load. He obtained a refinance mortgages twenty nine times since he was elected in 1972. Currently owes seven hundred thirty thousand two mortgages on his home. How did he get two mortgages on a three million dollar home when he’s not earning that much? His salary was one hundred sixty five thousand dollars a year, relatively speaking. Yes, it’s a good amount of money, but I’m talking about for a three million dollar home. You’re gonna get a three million dollar home, Mr. Producer. He previously lived for 21 years and a 10,000 square foot former Dupont mansion in Greenfield. What? What after extensive renovations, he sold it in February 1996. He bought it for one hundred eighty five thousand dollars. That’s it. And through word of mouth, he sold it. Let’s see. He sort of February through word of mouth to John Cochrane, the third the vice chairman of MBNA Bank. One of the nation’s largest credit card companies, he agreed to pay Biden’s full asking price one point two million. And MBNA reimbursed Cochran for a loss he took on the sale of his old home. This is sound straight up to you, Mr. Producer. Like a vault. And it goes on. So you may say this is this is little Pickens here, but this is 2008. This is how the guy acquired much of his property, valuable, valuable property as a senator. There’s no lunch bucket in Joe’s background. None whatsoever. And all those Amtrak trips you were paying for most of. You see on the media portrays, oh, lunch bucket Joe, he would take the Amtrak train. My goodness. One hundred sixty-five thousand dollars. Sara, this guy, you paid for everything. And he also got special deals, but we’re not allowed to talk about that because he has to win. Right. No, he doesn’t. That’s Joe Biden. I got a whole bunch of stuff here on Joe Biden pointing out that he’s lost his mind again. Let’s see here. First of all, let’s take a look. Cut 7 where he’s bragging. Saturday. And by the way, they say goes to Pennsylvania. The president’s right. Northern Delaware and northwestern Dallas just at the tip. Borders, Pennsylvania. And by the way, that little piece of Delaware has always been in dispute with Pennsylvania matter. So he’d like steps over the borders. Hey, I’m in Pennsylvania, the Keystone State. Welcome to the Commonwealth. He talks about twelve people. Anyway, he’s in a virtual campaign event on Saturday, a virtual campaign event in a party says this cut seven go. We’re in a situation where we put together and you guys did data for our admins from the president. How did he say use guys? He just said use guys. Can you start over, Mr. Producer? We’re in a situation where we have put together and you guys did it was huge. Guys, I guess. He’s gonna be 78. God forbid, if he wins to be 82 by the end of that, everyone knows he’s not going to finish that. That’s this whole thing is a disgrace. A disgrace by the Democrat Party, a disgrace by his family, a disgrace by the media. He is simply not up to being president, the United States. Go ahead. News from the President Obama’s administration. Before this, we have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics. Now people laugh it off. They dismiss it. You’ll never hear this on CNN or MSNBC or anything else. They put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization. And so this isn’t a gaffe. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a problem. This is a problem. He’s not tired. He’s not on the campaign trail. He’s not overworked. And so the media have created here is what’s the big deal? They’ve dumbed down everything. This is a problem. It’s ridiculous. And then he says this. Yesterday. Also, in a virtual event, cut eight go. This is the most consequence, not because I’m running, but because who I’m running against is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time. And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot. What kind of country are going to be four more years of George, George? You’re going to find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected, we’re going to be we’re going to be in a different world. Okay, everybody okay with that? Georgia. Georgia is trying to. Trying to figure out who he’s running against. Again, this isn’t funny. This isn’t for gossip. This is a problem. And some of you listening to me who were not Trump supporters. I don’t know how you can can vote for somebody like this. I really don’t. You’re really endangering the country because this guy is going to have to have multiple meetings and there is absolutely no reason, no justification whatsoever for the manner in which he’s campaigning. It’s not the virus. Most of you are out there. There’s traffic jams around Washington, D.C. now, Mr. Producer. People are working. Just follow the the the advice that the doctor’s given, so forth. There’s no reason that Joe Biden is the last man, literally the last man standing. And by that, I don’t mean it’s a good thing. I mean it’s a bad thing. You can’t have a president who isn’t willing. To come out except on Groundhog Day. Well, then there’s Joe Biden. Hey, wait, he’s come up. We’re going to have a crack. Another month of snow. I want another month away. I believe this. Area joke came out from under the bunker. That’s unbelievable. I’ll be right back.
Hour 1 Segment 4
As you’ve heard by now, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were with Norah O’Donnell on 60 Minutes. And unlike Leslie Stahl, Norah O’Donnell shockingly, shockingly did a pretty damn good job. And I want you to listen to her question. Kamala Harris and how. Preposterous. Kamala Harris says. As a vice presidential candidate and a senator, she is utterly preposterous. Cut 16, go. You’re very different in the policies that you’ve supported in the past. You’re considered the most liberal United States senator. I. Somebody said that it actually was Mike Pence on the debates. Yeah, well, actually, that non-partisan gov track has rated you as the most liberal senator. You supported the Green New Deal. You supported Medicare for all. You’ve supported legalizing marijuana. Joe Biden doesn’t support those things. So are you going to bring the policies, those progressive policies that you supported as senator into a Biden administration? What I will do and I promise you this and this is what Joe wants me to do. This was part of our deal. I will always share with him my lived experience as it relates to any issue that we confront. And I promised Joe that I will give him that perspective and I’ll always be honest with him. And is that a socialist or progressive perspective? Oh, you know, that cackling laugh is very annoying to me. It’s like Hillary Clinton esque. It’s a nervous laugh. It’s a laugh when somebody is trying to dodge, but it is very, very annoying to me. Go ahead. No, it is the perspective of of a woman who grew up a black child in America, who was also a prosecutor, who also has a mother who arrived here at the age of 19 from India, who also, you know, likes hip hop. What do you want to know? What I want to know is most recently, however, you have a record as United States senator. And while all those things are quite interesting. And so many Americans have unique and interesting backgrounds. You want to lead the country. You want to make decisions for our lives and for our children and our grandchildren. And so that’s what we’re talking about. How can you be more liberal than Bernie Sanders or Ed Markey? Or Chuck Schumer. Or Dick Durbin. I mean, you are way, way out there, way, way out there. And you’re going to be giving Joe Biden your advice. And Joe Biden is a man who is who is who is struggling with his own sanity and I mean this quite, quite honestly and seriously, so you can have enormous power. You’re gonna have significant influence on the cabinet or the rest of the executive branch in dealing with Congress and dealing with the media. So the cackling doesn’t cut it. And notice she didn’t answer the question. She did not answer the question. I’ll be right back.
