In 'The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic,' Mark R. Levin presents eleven specific Constitutional amendments designed to restore the core principles of the Constitution, including federalism, republicanism, and limited government. These amendments address issues such as term limits for Congress and Supreme Court justices, limits on federal spending and taxation, and reforms to the electoral process. Levin argues that these amendments, proposed through a convention of the states as described in Article Five of the Constitution, can help reclaim individual liberties and state sovereignty from an overreaching central government.
What Is to Be Done?
Michael R. Katz
William G. Wagner
Nikolai Chernyshevsky
Written in 1863 by Nikolai Chernyshevsky, 'What Is to Be Done?' is a novel that had a significant influence on Russian revolutionary thought. The story follows Viéra Pavlovna, a young woman who seeks economic independence and starts a cooperative workshop for seamstresses. The novel promotes the creation of small socialist cooperatives, advocates for women's rights, and critiques the patriarchal and authoritarian structures of Russian society. It was written in response to Ivan Turgenev's 'Fathers and Sons' and played a central role in polarizing the Russian intelligentsia between radical and liberal reformers. The novel's impact was so profound that it contributed to the conflicts leading up to the Russian Revolution[1][2][5].

On Power
Bertrand de Jouvenel
This week on the Mark Levin Show, language is critical in shaping societal discourse, it’s divided into positive and negative categories. Positive language uplifts, promoting free societies, free speech, and healthy dialogue, rooted in Judeo-Christian values and individual liberty. Negative language, prevalent in media like the Sunday news shows, involves sloganeering, name-calling, and propaganda to suppress dissent and control thought, often tied to coercive power in Marxist, Islamist, or totalitarian regimes. The media and the Democratic Party today push organized propaganda, aiming to control culture and society. Mark is impressed with Trump’s cabinet, from Marco Rubio's insights on Hamas and Iran, to the ambitious Golden Dome missile defense initiative, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s bold critiques of the health sector. AG Letitia James essentially just confessed to mortgage fraud. She said she made a mistake by putting Virginia down as her residence, but she’s a liar. Year after year, she took the deduction because it was a mistake? Later, a Supreme Court decision has significant implications for religious charter schools and the ongoing debate surrounding school choice. What are the ramifications of the 4-4 split decision, the role of the judiciary, and the challenges faced by those advocating for religious liberty in education?
