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.
The Democrat Party Hates America
Mark Levin
In this book, Mark Levin argues that the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America. He contends that the party has become the entity through which Marxist ideology has installed its philosophy and new revolution. Levin draws on historical precedents and current policy shifts to illustrate the radical left's efforts to reshape America's political and cultural landscape. The book serves as a clarion call to Americans to defeat the perceived threat posed by the Democrat Party and its alleged anti-American agenda.

On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, President Trump announced a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, ending a 12-day war. What will it be about this agreement to ensure they don’t violate it? Iran should face unconditional surrender due to its weakened military and lack of support from allies like China, Russia, or Arab nations. Trump's decisive military actions prevented Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which no other president, including Clinton, Obama, or Biden, was willing or able to accomplish. Without Trump's intervention, Iran would have become a nuclear power, potentially arming groups like the Houthis and enabling terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S. to acquire dirty bombs. Also, Trump’s actions on Iran have ensured peace for a period. But there’s a group of individuals—Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, and others—who are undermining Trump and aligning with radical left ideologies, including anti-Israel sentiments. These figures, supported by liberal media, aim to sabotage Trump’s movement and the next election. Later, Marc Thiessen calls in to discuss a Reagan Institute poll showing that MAGA Republicans strongly support U.S. global leadership, rejecting isolationism. The poll indicates 90% of MAGA voters prioritize preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, aligning with Trump's decision to join Israel's strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. The claims of a splintering MAGA base over Trump's Iran policy are exaggerated, as isolationist critics represent a small minority within the GOP. Finally, Lee Smith calls in and discusses how Trump's political opponents, particularly within the Democratic Party and aligned institutions, have pursued strategies aimed at humbling America to counter his influence. These efforts stem from a belief that Trump's "Make America Great Again" rhetoric and policies threaten their vision of a globalized, progressive world order.
