In 'Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto,' Mark R. Levin provides a comprehensive analysis of the conservative movement in the 21st century. The book contrasts the principles of conservatism with those of 'statism,' which Levin defines as the longing for complete control of all human activity by a collective group, typically the federal government. Levin argues that the greatest threat to liberty is an all-powerful central government and that the Founders intended to prevent such a scenario through the Constitution. He discusses various issues such as welfare, environmentalism, immigration, and the role of government, emphasizing the importance of individual freedoms, self-reliance, and the dangers of government overreach. The book is structured around the dichotomy between 'The Conservative' and 'The Statist,' highlighting the philosophical, historical, and practical differences between these two ideologies.
Men in Black
How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America
Mark Levin
In 'Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America', Mark R. Levin argues that the Supreme Court has overstepped its constitutional authority, leading to significant negative impacts on American society. The book details various Supreme Court decisions that Levin believes are egregious, including those related to college admissions, public expression of religion, benefits for illegal aliens, economic socialism, partial-birth abortion, political speech, and rights for terrorists. Levin emphasizes the power and lack of accountability of Supreme Court justices and argues that their decisions often contradict the original intent of the Constitution and the vision of America's founding fathers.
American Marxism
Mark Levin
In American Marxism, Mark Levin argues that the core elements of Marxist ideology are now widespread in American society and culture, influencing schools, media, corporations, Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the Biden presidency. Levin analyzes the psychology and tactics behind these movements, including the brainwashing of students, the anti-American purposes of Critical Race Theory and the Green New Deal, and the escalation of repression and censorship. He exposes the institutions, intellectuals, scholars, and activists leading this revolution and provides strategies on how to confront them. The book also discusses the historical inaccuracies and flaws in Marxist ideology and its adaptations in the American context.
On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, an Egyptian national, illegally in the U.S. allegedly attacked Jewish Americans, including a Holocaust survivor, in Boulder, Colorado. The Biden administration’s lax vetting and work permit issuance enabled this incident. How many people do we have like this in America? Immigration should benefit American citizens, who decide who enters and why. Immigrants must respect and contribute to the country or leave. It’s not for importing Islamists, Marxists, criminals, spies, or anti-Semites. Also, several questions come to mind on the published reports of an Iran deal. How do we know the Iranians will reveal all enrichment sites and enriched material to this consortium? Will we have access to their country to inspect anywhere we wish? Won't the Iranians play along for a few years and then, after the initial period and after the Trump presidency is over, thumb its nose at the world and breakout? Later, Sen Ted Cruz calls in to discuss the Democrats and federal judges who hare undermining the Constitution and the rule of law. Democrats are supporting lawless rouge judges who issue nationwide injunctions to block the Trump administration’s agenda. He also criticizes Democrats for hypocrisy, pointing to their silence when mobs protested at Supreme Court justices’ homes and their attacks on justices like Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Afterwards, Mark contrasts Alexander Hamilton's vision of a strong central government with Jefferson and Madison's preference for limited federal power and strong state authority. Hamilton's ideas, like a lifelong executive and senators, were rejected by most framers, who favored state-centric governance, as Madison emphasized in Federalist 45. Hamilton's support for implied powers (Federalist 33) appeals to modern advocates of activist government. Finally, Miranda Devine calls in to discuss Anthony Bernal, Jill Biden’s chief of staff, who played a role in concealing Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his presidency. Described as Jill’s “work husband,” Bernal is portrayed as a powerful, behind-the-scenes figure who wielded enormous influence in the White House.
