On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, our government exists to protect the civil society and the social contract, not to obtain more power and control the citizenry. The Democrat party has constructed a political environment based on putting people into groups and group identity and do not care about individual liberty or the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence has to be shredded for Democrats to achieve what they want, which is where Kamala Harris comes in. She will destroy this country, traditional notion of liberty, and free market capitalism while centralizing more and more power with the federal government. Also, Kamala Harris is a radical Islamist as much as she is a radical Marxist and does not care about the safety and security of Israel at all. Kamala wants Israel to surrender Judea and Samaria to the Palestinians, who as a group voted for Hamas and support the October 7 terror attacks. The Democrat party does not support the state of Israel, and both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have blood on their hands from what is happening in the Middle East.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. We almost didn’t make it. We had a major technological collapse. But our friend Bob Mack, who’s one of the great engineers of all time, Westwood One, came to the rescue. So we want to thank our friend Bob and everybody else who worked with him. Christian, Rich, the whole gang. Before we jump into stuff and there’s a lot to jump into. From time to time. Actually, many times I like to provide a. Sort of an intellectual or what’s a better a context for things that are going on? But I think about that. I write about that. I write notes to myself typically throughout the weekend. And. That gives, I think, more insight into what’s taking place in this country right now. And one of the things is that. Oh, no. Let’s see here. The district courts not like merit level appointment. Throughout the special counsel brief. Okay, That’s their brief in an appeal. I’m not worried about that. We’ll deal with that later. I thought it may be a court decision. All right. In any event, I think it’s important because I get questions here. I get questions when I bump into people that always start with the word. Why? Why? Why don’t people see what we see? Why do people think this way? Why do people vote this way in the word? Why? Is the word. That draws the attention of philosophers. Scholars. Intellectuals. That is, to try and figure out why. Or just people who are intrigued. People who are conscientious. Why? Why so? All. Last night in the morning, I was thinking to myself, among other things. This Democratic convention. Were they? They talk about this word freedom. And yet the whole convention was largely about identity politics. The speakers were largely chosen because of their identities. The speakers were largely chosen because what they said about race, what they said about sexuality. Almost all of them talked about race. Why? Why is that? Why is the Democrat Party so focused on group ism, on fraternity? You and I, we’re focused on individuality, a colorblind society. That’s what liberty means to us. You look at the Declaration of Independence, what is it talking about? It’s not a word in there about race. It’s about natural law. Natural rights. God given. God given to each individual. Unalienable rights that given to groups based on physical features or their faith or whatever it is. Unalienable rights given to each human being. Each human being has their own value, their own worth. But the Democrat Party doesn’t see things that way. In fact, there’s organizations they represent different ethnic groups, different racial groups, different religious groups. They don’t see things that way either. What’s going on? This is very important to understand. I know it’s not typical talk radio, but is typical Mark Levine, talk radio. You and I talk about individual liberty, the Constitution. Free will, the importance of separation of powers. So there’s not a concentration of centralized power. The importance of representative government, not little de democracy. So you don’t have marble or C. You know, a mob ocracy so people can vote by majority to destroy your unalienable rights. Constitution is a magnificent balance. Magnificent balance. Not ready to protect the individual. Government doesn’t exist to get more powerful, to get more centralized, to rejigger society or re-engineer the human person. Government exists. To protect the civil society. The civil society, the social contract. Stick with me. We’re more concerned about the protection of the individual freewill unalienable rights. Then the Democrat Party. We’ve been more than the left. Why is that? Why is that? Within the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party has constructed a political environment that is based on putting people into groups and then trying to unite those groups, whether it’s an economic group, a racial group and ethnic group, whatever it is. Group identity. No, I don’t think they do this because they’re particularly scholarly. Or the particularly brilliant. I think they do this because it works for them. But I’m going to go below surface level. Why does it work for them? Why does it work for them? It seems that so many of the people at that convention, speaking at that convention and so many people that we know who identify as Democrats or leftists, they don’t talk about individual liberty. In fact, they attacked the constitutional construct. They attacked the Americans. Well, what is it? What is it? That demands their loyalty. That draws their attention. Do you even willing to accept levels of authoritarianism and paternalism that you and I are not? Why? Why? Why are they willing to surrender their individualism? CRT rather than a colorblind society? I think I got this figured out. You and I. You and I find our security in individualism. You and I. Want the freedom. The freedom to use our labor, intellectual and physical labor. In ways. They make us feel successful, accomplished, motivated. As an individual, we contribute to society. Don’t get me wrong. We want to be able to do what we need to be able to do to fulfill our lives and to fulfill our responsibilities to our family. To our family. And in order to do that. We understand the importance. Of a constitutional system, of a representative system, of free will, of individual liberty, of treating people based on merit and substance, not based on physicality. Or faith or whatever it is that they’re associated with. Not true on the other side. Not true on the left. Not true of the Democrat Party, the political vessel through which they operate. It’s group identity. Group identity. Is where many people, even in this country. Feel safe. Feel secure. Group identity. Is how they interpret liberty. It’s not really liberty, but that’s how they interpreted the power of their group. The power of their group. Liberty is redefined. Wrongly are believed to be a group power. There’s power in group. Black Power is an example. And so. Individual liberty. It’s not as important as. Group power. My making sense, Mr. Producer. The higher. Form of attachment is to the group. Whatever group you identify with. You don’t feel secure. As an individual, you feel secure as part of a group that has power. That I think is the crux of the matter. You have an identity, not as an individual. No. Maybe you’re not doing so great on the job. Maybe have issues, maybe don’t have issues, maybe been mistreated. So you feel power and identity and even a perverse form of liberty as part of a group. Even if that group, even if the Democrat Party is denying you of individual liberties. Is centralizing decision making in Washington, D.C. with politicians and bureaucrats. You don’t even know many you may not even like. But you feel more secure. You actually feel free in a bizarre way. With the less freedom that you have and the less freedom that the guy across the street has. And so. You have a much higher tolerance for paternalism. A much higher tolerance. For authoritarianism. It’s okay if they destroy separation of powers. That doesn’t mean anything to you. It’s okay if they destroy the independence of the Supreme Court. It’s okay if the government hands out health care, if the government sets prices and so forth and so on. You’re part of the group. And you have a high level of tolerance for group decision making because the group is your security. The group is your perverse view of freedom. So I’m going to vote for Kamala Harris. Doesn’t matter what she thinks, doesn’t matter what she says, doesn’t matter what she believes. She’s part of the group. And the Democrat Party knows it. So what do they tout? Do they tell her policies now? Do they tout her substance? No. Do they tout her experience now? They touted she’s the first black woman nominee of a party and would be the first black woman president. And so if you’re of this mindset, that’s enough. I need to know where she stands on the border. I don’t care. She’s going to protect my group. And I by that, by the way, I don’t just mean black or female. I mean Democrat. My group is going to be empowered. The Democrat Party. I’m going to be empowered as a Democrat. I’m going to be empowered as a woman. I’m going to, in part as an African-American, all or part of it or something like that. You I don’t think that way. I don’t think that way. I look at Bernie Sanders, he’s just saying what an asshole that guy is. Complete jerk. Many Republicans, I say the same thing. That guy’s a jerk. I don’t care. I’m not supporting that guy. Mitt Romney. He’s a loser. Whatever. So it appears to me that half or close to half of the country. Has a perverse view of liberty. That they view liberty. As grew power as identity power as power in numbers. They don’t view liberty. As a matter of individualism, our free will. You don’t much care. People who believe in groups and the Constitution and the founding. Doesn’t really matter. Because liberty is redefined as a belief in the power of the group, the identity of the group. Look at Hamas that gets elected by the Palestinians, brutalizes their own people, kills them, starves them. But it’s the group. It’s the group. More when I return. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
This describes really the difference between really any type of authoritarianism and a constitutional capitalist republic. Marxism Divide it in the economic categories. The bourgeoisie, the proletariat that is the managers, class or ownership class. And the workers. Marxism doesn’t tolerate free will. It doesn’t tolerate individualism. That ideology kind of started with Rousseau and Hegel. I’m not going to get into the weeds, but Marxism kind of crystallized it in his own way. Capitalism is the converse of that. That is, as an individual, you can achieve whatever you seek to achieve. Doesn’t mean it’s going to be handed to you, but you will have free will based on merit, based on success. So you can see these two belief systems in our own politics today. One ultimately leads to authoritarianism, and that is the Democrat Party and what it preaches and the support he gets. And conversely, not all Republicans, but conservative constitutional Republicans and what we promote more when I return.
Segment 3
Now, the danger in this perverse idea of liberty is every dictatorship, whatever form. Whatever ideology has embraced it. Has embraced it. They’ve exploited groups, think they’ve exploited the whole notion of a quote unquote, commune or community. You have to destroy individual liberty and free will. You have to destroy natural rights and natural law. In other words, you have to shred the Declaration of Independence. Even though most countries don’t have one. In order to accomplish what it is that you want to accomplish, that’s where Kamala Harris comes in. Kamala Harris is a coward. Kamala Harris knows exactly what she’s going to do should she win the president. She’s going to destroy this country. She’s going to destroy the traditional notion of liberty. Free will individualism. And the economic system. Then undergirds it all. Free market capitalism. She will centralize power. She’s already told Senator Whitehouse. He’s already said, and this is today. That she and he agree that they need to pack the Supreme Court. He’s already said that today. The Constitution means nothing to her unless it be used to her advantage and not just her by her political party and the ideologues that populated. She knows that the Democrat Party base won’t care because group identity. Is what they’ve been taught and they’ve learned over the course of 125 years. Security comes from the group. Power comes from the group. And that’s how they define their liberty. Not you and I, not the framers of the Constitution, but the 1776 revolutionaries and founders. Kamala Harris is a marxist. She’s an American Marxist. Marxism comes in different forms, but the course the same thing. That’s why when she put our economic program, she realized there was a mistake. 25% wealth tax. A wealth tax is a tax on your ownership, whatever you own. And that tax is so confiscatory, it is so burdensome that you will lose your property. That’s the way to nationalize private property. She talked about price gauging. She meant gouging. As an excuse for the government to set prices on food. The government controls the supply of food. The government controls you. Because you can’t live without food. After three days, panic sets in. She and her party learned from the pandemic of 2020. Not just theoretically, but as reality. If you control the food shelves, you control the people. They will stand where you tell them to stand. They will go where you tell them to go. They won’t go where You tell them not to go. You’ll even be able to shut down their churches and their synagogues and their mosques. The iron fist. She understands that. Kamala Harris also understands that only about 40 or 45% of the American people. Embrace this notion. A power. A belonging of liberty. It’s not enough to win an election. So she’s shown enough angled ankle rather to her party base and her party regulars and her party activists. She’s shown enough hand ankle to different groups within their coalition. Minority groups, ethnic groups, females and so forth. But I can’t get her over the 50% mark. And so. She’s going to reveal as little of this as possible. Because those of us who do believe in real liberty and free will and individualism, those of us who do believe. And natural law that gives us natural rights that comes from God. Those of us who do believe in individual unalienable rights, no matter who we are, no matter our background, no matter our color, our faith, our sex, whatever. We won’t buy. And she knows that there’s 5% of the American people. 10% of the American people. Who would be persuaded by you and me, not by her. And so. She’s running the biggest scam of any presidential election. She’s the most radical candidate to ever run for president of the United States. She is a true red American Marxist. That’s what she is. Open borders. Defund the police. Defund ICE. Aliens, illegal or otherwise, immediately in the welfare state, changed the voting system, as they say, quote unquote, reshape the electorate. Destroy the independence of the Supreme Court, destroy separation of powers, use the power of government to go after your political opponents. Destroy the entire nature of the United States Senate by eliminating the filibuster rule so you can ram through everything you want, making it impossible to undo it in a next election. Expand the massive administrative state, which is an appendage of the Democrat Party. Raise taxes on businesses. Raise taxes on individuals. That’s how you steal more and more liberty. And in power the state. That’s who she is. These are her possessions. Brainwash your children. CRT. Impose radical ideology in every corner of society. DEA. Force corporations to adopt the EEI, call it ESG. That’s who she is. That’s what she believes. Reparations in order to maintain. In order to maintain the separation, in order to maintain historical distinctions, no matter all the achievements and progress had been made over the last 150 years, you must keep the scabs bleeding. Keep working. The group ID. Keep working the angle of the proletariat, the little guy against the system when you are the system. When you want to empower the system. When you want to give the iron fist to the system and centralize the system, but run against the system. And all that which is intended to protect the individual. Is to be destroyed. Change the voting system the way they did in California. So Republicans can’t win. There’ll be an opposition party, but they won’t matter. So you have the the pretext to tyranny with the pretense of democracy. Oh, well. And there’s another party. We won fair and square. Early voting, late voting. Dropbox has no signature, no date, no envelope. Voter harvesting illegal aliens on voter rolls. Illegal aliens voting no. Voter I.D.. We had a fair and free election. What are you, an insurrectionist? Now we need to change the debate. Trump agreed to a debate. With Biden. Kamala Harris wasn’t just standing by while Barack Obama. Nancy Pelosi. Executed a coup against Biden. She was in on it. She led it. She benefited from it. Don’t be foolish. Don’t listen to these. Phony brainiacs on TV who think they know what took place or the misleading propaganda leaked to the media wasn’t Obama. It wasn’t Pelosi. They were in on it. It was Kamala Harris. She did it. Without a single vote. She’s the Democrat presidential nominee. Now she wants to change the debate. First, she won’t reveal herself. Now everybody sitting on the edge of their chair. Oh, she promised us she would do an interview this week. What is she? Khamenei? Putin. G on o. Thank you. She will deign to do an interview. Oh, I’m sure it’ll be brutal. Wow. Then she’s met her obligation, you see, to the voter. Donald Trump said, Let’s do a debate every week. Let’s at least do three debates. Let’s have Fox, CBS. ABC. No. No, we’re not going to do Fox, she says. ABC U of C now with Jon Karl. You saw the journalist at the National Black Journalism event. You see George Stephanopoulos, I think ABC has become. The worst among the worst of the networks. And so, you know, that won’t be a fair debate. On top of that, she’s now demanding open mikes where, as Biden demanded, close mikes when the other candidate is speaking. So apparently it’s Donald Trump’s job to accommodate their candidates. First Biden and now Kamala Harris. Why? Why? Because kamala’s not about substance. Kamala is about fiction. Drama. Appearance. So what will she do? Don’t interrupt me. That’s your big line. I’m not finished. Challenge him on the open mic. Play the system. Control the system. That’s the plan. Then the government. Pravda. Al Jazeera. American Media. Not a free press. The state run press, which I wrote about in Unfreedom of the Press. Other people now use these phrases and it’s good they do. It’s important that they do. They will play their role. And their role is as a patron guard to protect her and as a hit squad to go after Trump. Just as they dragged Biden across the finish line and then when they saw the American people weren’t going to accept him, throw him over the roof, throw them off the roof. They’re doing the same for Kamala. Protect her from herself. I’ll be right back.
