Conservative radio show host Mark Levin went scorched earth on the U.S. Supreme Court for being “cowards” after they refused to hear several election-related cases.
During a segment on his radio program, Levin took note of the Supreme Court refusing to hear critical cases and how it could have a huge impact going forward. He also went after several conservative Justices by name.
“Cowards, absolute cowards. There’s your Justice Coney, there’s your Justice Kavanaugh. You fought like hell for them, and then they spit on you. Your federal Constitution was changed in the last election. I don’t give a damn what the New York Times, the Washington Post … I don’t care what any of them say, I’m not even addressing fraud,” Levin added.
“I’m addressing a crooked system, systematic violations of our constitutional system. And there they are, six of the nine justices sitting on their asses not doing a damn thing about it because they’re afraid of what will be said about them in the editorial pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post.”
“What kind of an idiot do you have to be to not understand the precedent that that creates? Any pretext for investigating a president now by some slob out of some city or town or county … any pretext that they can pull together to make it seem like a legitimate investigation, will now be a basis for a president having to provide his tax returns. Just because Democrats in the media demand the tax returns of somebody. I open the Constitution, it’s not in there,” he said.
Levin went scorched earth last week and addressed Republicans’ “underwhelming performance” in the midterm elections.
During the opening monologue on his show, “Life, Liberty & Levin,” he told viewers that the expected Republican gains were “mathematically impossible” and never indicated a “red wave,” despite polling and predictions from many that claimed Democrats were posed to underperform.
“I noticed that many of the same people who were wrong about a red wave are now telling us what to think about a non-red wave. The experts, the consultants, the ruling class, the media, and the politicians. We need to think for ourselves, enough of the static. I said before the election, and I said repeatedly here and on the radio: Forget about the red wave. Forget about a red tsunami. Forget about Armageddon and vote,” Levin began.
In the Senate, Republicans had to defend 20 of the 34 seats up for re-election. To win the majority, Republicans would have had to “tap into” the 14 Democrat incumbent seats, the host explained.
“That was a tall hill to climb. And this is one of the reasons I wasn’t on this red-wave bandwagon so fast,” he said. “I needed to think about it. 2024. This is the key. In the next election cycle, 33 seats are up. Now, listen to this. Two-thirds of them are Democrat seats. So the Democrats have to defend 23 Senate seats. The Republicans have to defend only ten.”
“So, the math in 2022 never really led to a red wave possibility, and the math in 2024, it does lead to a red wave possibility. Does that mean there will be one? Of course not. But I’m just explaining the math, the simple math. We had about 60% of the seats up. They have almost 70% of the seats up in the next round. So what does that mean? Democrats needed to have some serious gains in the Senate last week to stave off a disaster in 2024. They failed miserably,” Levin continued.
Levin said the suggestion that the GOP would flip six Senate seats “was never going to happen. It was a mathematical impossibility.”
“While the GOP fell short in the House, it’s very likely the Republicans will, in fact, take the House, [though] by a much smaller number,” Levin said.
“They’ll appoint the speaker. They’ll control the committees. Look, in the lead-up to the election, pollsters, consultants, Republican operatives, and D.C. commentators were talking about a red wave as if it had already occurred. What they based it on was flawed and inaccurate,” he said.
WATCH:
Levin then looked ahead to 2024 and argued that Republicans have a much higher chance of pulling off a true “red wave” then.
“In 2024, [Democrats are] in a horrendous situation when two-thirds of the Senate seats that are up are Democrat seats, and they’re [now] celebrating that they only lost the House by a relative few votes, but they lost the House. And the GOP can now block these radical kook programs that Biden’s pushing. They can conduct investigations. They can do what they need to do, and they damn well better. But is this good enough? No, it’s not good enough,” he went on.
“If the Republicans allow the same D.C. establishment, many of whom you see on TV all the time, telling you how smart they are and they know everything, if they allow them to control the agenda and the money, the future is bleak,” Levin said.
“If people govern like conservatives, the Senate will be mathematically positioned for Republicans to have big gains” in 2024, Levin concluded.
