On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, in the 1970s gas prices jumped due to OPEC's boycott of the U.S. over its Israel policies. Back then people blamed the oil companies instead of OPEC. Today the same manufactured hostility targets AI data centers. Governors ban or endlessly delay them with false pollution claims once used against fracking. The real issue is electricity: decades of blue-state regulations and anti-capitalist obstruction have blocked grid upgrades. Critics now complain data centers will consume too much power yet refuse the solutions—expand the grid and let the centers build their own generation, including nuclear. Adversaries, especially China, face no such constraints and will dominate future technology, military, space, and health-care advances if America continues this economic self-sabotage. Also, the Woke Reich is essentially dead. Figures such as Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz, along with the rest of that circle are finished and exist mainly online in a toxic cesspool. The election in Florida illustrated that real, normal, patriotic Americans have no interest in the Woke Reich or its antisemitism and remain focused on patriotism. Later, Iran has killed and maimed thousands of Americans and spreads terrorism globally, yet this stance is treated as controversial by some, including former NSA counterintelligence officer John Schindler. Schindler’s portrayal of Levin as a “super hawk” pushing total war is idiotic. Schindler an isolationist, Israel-hater, and incoherent critic who diminishes U.S. capacity for victory. Afterward, Bruce Blakeman, who is running for Governor of NY, calls in and explains that Gov Kathy Hochul is fully subservient to Zohran Mamdani—including supporting a $5 billion NYC bailout with no spending cuts. Blakeman says New York is in a death spiral with the nation’s highest taxes, electric bills 70% above the national average, and the most pro-criminal governor, leading to hundreds of thousands of people and jobs lost, $11 billion in lost tax revenue from high-net-worth individuals and corporations fleeing to states like Florida and Texas, and widespread misery. He is running to reverse this by cutting taxes, halving utility bills, supporting police, and protecting neighborhoods. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
