Freedom is 20 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: back in style. 21 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 4: Welcome to the revolution. 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: Be aware of coming to your site.

There's no doubt that the books, the 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 3: great one my dear friend Mark Levin has written, are impactful, influential, 31 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 3: and I would even argue many of them will be 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 3: studied for decades to come. I don't care if it's 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: men in black talking about unelected judges that will legislate 34 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: from the bench. We see weaponization and what Democrats can't 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 3: get done electorally, what they can't get done legislatively, they 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 3: raise to liberal courts, they go judge shopping. We've talked 37 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 3: often about that. Another one. Liberty and Tyranny would be 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 3: one that I think will be read decades and decades 39 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 3: from now. Amertopia would be another one. American Marxism would 40 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: be another one. The Democrat Party Hates America would be 41 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 3: another one. And the one that Mark has just written 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: is out today for the first day in bookstores all 43 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: around the country, is right up there with all of 44 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: his top best selling books. And it's called On Power. 45 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: And I decided I didn't want to race through this 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 3: book because it is so relevant. 47 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: It's ripped right. 48 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: Out of the headlines that we're living today all of 49 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: these new developments through declassification by Tulsea Gabbard. More to 50 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: come with John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, about what the 51 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: Democrats have done, how they have abused Donald Trump and 52 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,559 Speaker 3: abused the people that voted for him, How they orchestrated 53 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: a phone Russia hoax, how they had validated the authenticity 54 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 3: of a very real laptop nobody ever examined it. They 55 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 3: prebunked it for an entire summer meeting weekly with big 56 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: tech companies, knowing the story would drop because they knew 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: Rudy Giuliani's then attorney, Bob Costello had a copy of it. 58 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 3: It does drop, they won't confirm to big media that 59 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: reached out to them, social media companies, people like Mark 60 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey at the time running Twitter, who said, 61 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 3: is this the Russian disinformation about Hunter and Joe you 62 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: were warning us about or is this real meaning Hunter's laptop? 63 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: They had validated its authenticity in March of twenty twenty. 64 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: That would be putting cinderblocks on the scales of an election. 65 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: So his new book is called On Power, and it 66 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: is ripped from today's headlines, a great one. Welcome to 67 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: the program. It's been a while. How am I thank me? 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: God bless us? 69 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: Wow? 70 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: You look great? Run radio? How can I look create 71 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: on radio? It was great to see you. 72 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: It was fun over the weekend because I got to 73 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: interview you on your show Life, Liberty and Levin. I 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: got a lot of positive comments on it. I haven't 75 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: seen the ratings yet. I hope they were through the roof. 76 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: Yes. 77 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 3: The issue of power, I mean we see a power 78 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 3: struggle both the Republican Republican Party, Democratic Party. They have coalitions, 79 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: but we see within the Democratic Party that the radicals 80 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 3: in that party have taken over Kasmin Krockett, the Squad, 81 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: Grandpap Bernie, AOC Pocahontas. 82 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Now this guy mom Nani. 83 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: And what you write about power and when you apply 84 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 3: it to the headlines that today you said, throughout the history, 85 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,239 Speaker 3: throughout history, from ancient civilizations to modern Western republics, power 86 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: has been used to both oppress and to liberate, to 87 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: reward and to exploit, to destroy, and to build Monarchs, 88 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 3: dictators elites who impose tyranny seek to soliday power, stripping 89 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: freedom from individuals. To maintain control over societies. They use 90 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: force and deception to ensure that their rules remain unchallenged, 91 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: claiming to act in the name of the common good 92 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: while stripping individuals of their freedoms. 93 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: That is a powerful power graph. Let's start there. 94 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: Well, you know, Sean, I take this word power and 95 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: I divide it into positive power, and you're talking there 96 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: about negative power. Because I got to thinking, what was 97 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: the Revolutionary War really about? You know, we talk about 98 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: it very superficially, the Declaration, What does that really mean? 99 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: We talk about that at a very surface level. And 100 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: I got to thinking it's over power, because liberty without 101 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: rights is nothing. Rights without power don't exist. And so 102 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: God is the sovereign. God gives his children sovereignty over government, 103 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: over society. That's us, we the people, and that's where 104 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: our government comes from, our country comes from. That's what 105 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: makes it so unique. Fused with the Enlightenment. What's the 106 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 2: enlightenment that power needs to check power, that you need 107 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 2: three branches of government. Again, we don't want mobocracy, pure democracy, 108 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: and we don't want dictatorships centralized power. And look at 109 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: the beautiful Constitution, the Declaration of the Constitution. You and 110 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: I and our audiences are having to spend our lifetimes 111 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: to defend it against what against negative power against individuals 112 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: who reject all of this. They reject the Enlightenment, they 113 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: reject the Judeo Christian belief system. That's what makes America unique, 114 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 2: even from other Western democracies, certainly from radical Islam, certainly 115 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: from communism. Communism attacks the whole basis for the American founding. 116 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: It is incompatible Marxism. This guy Mandami, all of them, 117 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders, what they're preaching is incompatible with Americanism and 118 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: our experiment. Same with radical Islam, which believes in not 119 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: freedom of speech and ideas. They reject the Enlightenment. They 120 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: reject at all because that political Islam has never gone 121 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 2: through the Reformation. They reject the Enlightenment, and their scholars 122 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: talk about destroying the West. So they have fused, and 123 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party represents this negative power. Now they're not yet, 124 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: you know, genocidal in that sense, So it's a soft 125 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: negative power. They believe in what I call authoritarian democracy. 126 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: We vote, but it has less and less meaning. We 127 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: have a democracy, really republic, but it has less and 128 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: less meaning. They spend their entire existence trying to get 129 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: around the constitution, trying to destroy its firewalls, trying to 130 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: destroy our culture. You and I our listeners. We defend 131 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: all these things. So I thought, got to thinking, Sean, 132 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: let's figure out a better way to discuss this. Let's 133 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: get to the number, the matter and the battle, the 134 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: battle today of the people you mentioned in US. It's 135 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: over power, That's what it is. And so I take 136 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 2: that term and I try and explain it and unravel it. 137 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 3: We saw the worst of negative power, and then I'll 138 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: get to positive power in a minute. We can go back, 139 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: for example, in the last century, and I don't care 140 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 3: if you're talking about Mao and China and Stalin and 141 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 3: Russia and Hitler and Germany and Mussolini and Tojo in Japan, 142 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 3: and you combine it all together, and we lost well 143 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 3: over one hundred million human souls in the name of 144 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: some ism I wrote about in Livery or Die socialism 145 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 3: and its history of failure. And it's a little bit 146 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 3: different because this is when that last century, when you 147 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: talk about death and destruction, that is the nth degree 148 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: that it can go to. And then you have different 149 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: degrees of whatever manifestation, whatever name you put on its socialism, statism, 150 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: I mean as a Marxism. It's all one and the 151 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 3: same in many many ways. And what I was trying 152 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,839 Speaker 3: to point out is you always have these incredible promises 153 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: that will never be fulfilled. You end up poorer than 154 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 3: when you started. And then you calculate how much of 155 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 3: your freedom you gave up in the name of false security. 156 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: And when you get to the positive side of power, 157 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 3: which you go into in great detail, you talk about 158 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: our framers, You talk about God, and you spend a 159 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 3: lot of time on God in this book. You talk 160 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 3: about our constitution and how they understood that strong societies 161 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 3: are borne not from force, by consent of the governed, 162 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: and societies building these checks and balances, fair elections and 163 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 3: the preservation of individual rights, but they will only thrive 164 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: in that environment. So you have two competing forces here. 165 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 2: But let me be clear, I'm not proselytizing in this book, 166 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: as you know, I'm not even good at it. I'm 167 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 2: explaining what the founders of our country did, what they believe. 168 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 2: Let me give an example, because you make a very 169 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: good point faith the Judeo Christian belief system. People don't 170 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: have to be Jewish, they don't have to be Christian, 171 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: they don't believe anything. They could be agnostic, they can 172 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: be atheists, they can be Buddhists and Hindus, mother, whatever 173 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 2: you want. But just understand, this country is tolerant. This 174 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: country embraces representative constitutional government. This country believes in debate 175 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 2: and free speech and freedom of association. Why because of 176 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 2: the way it was created with the Judeo Christian faith, 177 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 2: fused with the Enlightenment. Who's the Enlightenment, Locke Montesquieu. People 178 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 2: like that, How do I know I'm right? Because our 179 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: founder said so. Most of all, Jefferson said so. And 180 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 2: so the point is that that's the kind of society 181 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 2: we created. Marx attacked our declaration of Independence. He attacked 182 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 2: individual he will, he attacked the idea of unalienable rights. 183 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: Woodrow Wilson, the first of the intellectual progressives, I call 184 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: them American Marxist, a president who is based on modern 185 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: day Democrat party belief systems. He rejected the Declaration of Independence. 186 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 2: He wrote such he was an American Marxist progeny from Mars. 187 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: FDR rejected rejected the Declaration of Independence. FDR comes up 188 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: with what he calls the Second Bill of Rights. What 189 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: is it? It's literally plagiarized from Stalin's nineteen thirty six constitution, 190 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 2: and they have all these beautiful words and phrases. Sean 191 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: like this Mondami. I'm concerned about affordability. He's not concerned 192 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: about affordability. He supports open borders, massive debt, inflation, registribution 193 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: of wealth, which kills wealth. He wants to take the 194 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: means of production from home. The guide it owns, the 195 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: pizza parlor, the plumber who has a little business, the 196 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: means of production, that's your labor, intellectual and physical. It's 197 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: a constant war against the sovereign. As the individual, your 198 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: own circle of liberty. It's the constant war on we 199 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 2: the people, we the sovereign, which is why they are 200 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: endlessly centralizing government, coming up with governmental answers. And the 201 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: Democrat Party is a power hungry party. Look and honestly, 202 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: we're not power hungry. We fight for power, positive power. 203 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: They fight for negative power, to lard over us, to 204 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 2: have power over us. This is the big distinction, and 205 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: I think it would help us if we make this 206 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: distinction rather than talking platitudes to younger people and other people, 207 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: to explain, do you really want this kind of authority 208 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: in your lives, telling you what to do day in 209 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: and day on. Now, some of our fellow citizens do, Okay, 210 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 2: that's their problem, But I don't believe most Americans, or 211 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: at least a majority of Americans, are ready to go 212 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: in that direction. If it's explained and debated properly. 213 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: All right, quick, freak will come right back. 214 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 3: More with the Great One, Mark Levin is brand new 215 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: book out today, bookstores around the country.

More 221 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: with the Great One on the other side, as we 222 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 3: continue from the coast to coast, from order to order, 223 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: from s to Shining Sea. 224 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 4: This is the Sean Hannity Show. 225 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: All right, We continue now with Mark Levin. The Great 226 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 3: One is brand new book out today. It's called On Power, 227 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: Amazon dot Comhannity dot Com, bookstores all around the country 228 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: as of today. Reagan's famously said the freedom is but 229 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,479 Speaker 3: one generation away from extinction. I think we came perilously 230 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: close in this last election from maybe getting to the 231 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: point of no return. Maybe that's an overstatement, and maybe 232 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: you disagree with that. I don't know how we would 233 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 3: have come back with four more years, maybe eight more 234 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 3: years of open borders and the radical Green New Deal 235 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 3: and you know, a taxpayer funded sex change operations for 236 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 3: illegals and convicts and and feminine products and great school boys' 237 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 3: bathrooms and taxpayer funded college education, and you know, the 238 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 3: Green New Deal, et cetera, et cetera. I don't know 239 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 3: if these policies were implemented, how you ever unravel them. 240 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: And that's a great point. You see, here's the deal. 241 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 2: Most of these autocracies, as you say, call whatever it 242 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 2: is and you want, they don't rely on majority rule. 243 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 2: They rely on rule if they win one election. They 244 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: seek to make permanent changes. The Democrat Party has made 245 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 2: what they hope were permanent changes through immigration, lack of 246 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 2: assimilation to destroy the status quo. The American culture. They 247 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: don't even talk about the American culture unless they're attacking it. 248 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 2: Sixteen to nineteen Project, attacking our history, CRT, attacking our 249 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: Bill of Rights. The Constitution, they said, written by a 250 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: bunch of white slave owners while they wave around the Constitution. 251 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: But they hate it because the Constitution believes in power 252 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: checking power. That's the genius of the Constitution right there, 253 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: power checking power. Which is why I decided there's not 254 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: enough focus on this issue of power. The Democrat Party 255 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: is power hungry. They want centralized power, They want to 256 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: lord over us. They don't believe in the sovereignty of 257 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: the individual. They don't believe in the sovereignty of we 258 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: the people. So it's absolutely crucial that we start going 259 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: on the offense rather than playing defense. So this guy 260 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: talks about affordability in New York. Really, so where has 261 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: Marxism ever provided affordability? Empty shelves, economic dislocation, impoverishment. But 262 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 2: what else? The growing iron fist of a police state 263 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: that gets involved in every aspect of your life. That's 264 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: what he stands for. That's what they stand for, and 265 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: that's what we need to explain. 266 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 3: All right, Well, take a break, we'll come back more 267 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: with the great one.

The processor won't 284 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: keep up. Maybe you dropped it one too many times, 285 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 3: maybe it's fallen in the toilet one too many times. 286 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 3: Switch to my Wireless Company, America's Wireless Company, Pure Talk. 287 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: You are listening to the best of the Sean Hannity 288 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 3: Show and stay tuned.

It's called On Power. 298 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 3: It's in bookstores all around the country starting today. It's 299 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 3: on Amazon dot com. We have it up on Hannity 300 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 3: dot com. I wanted to drill a little deeper into 301 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 3: a couple of chapters you have on this book, and 302 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 3: that's negative power and positive power. I never thought we'd 303 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: get to a point in a free America where the 304 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: government would want to tell us what cars we can 305 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 3: and cannot drive, but we were getting very close. I 306 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: never thought we'd get to a point that the government 307 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 3: would tell us what stoves we can and cannot use. 308 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 3: I never thought they'd want to pick and choose our 309 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 3: refrigerator and freezers and washers and dryers, or you know, 310 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 3: tell us that we can't use plastic straws anymore. They 311 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 3: wanted us to use paper straws. But that's negative power. 312 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: You know, define this, explain this, extrapolate on this. 313 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 2: Any government that has the power to tell you what 314 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: kind of straw to use has enormous power. Way outside 315 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 2: of our constitutional republic, that's for sure. And that's the point, 316 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: which is this negative power is about coercion, It's about 317 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 2: conformity and uniformity. It is about re engineering human beings. 318 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 2: It is about rejiggering society. It is about turning the 319 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 2: culture inside out. It is antithetical to everything that the 320 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 2: Revolution was fought for and our Constitution was ratified for. 321 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: This whole idea is imported from Europe. It is a 322 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: Marxist mindset, as von Mesi says, and I quote him 323 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 2: in the book A Great Austrian Economists, which is we 324 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 2: all talk and sound like Marxists. Now you can even 325 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 2: hear some of the populaces. I hear what we ought 326 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: to give this group this in this group, that okay, great, 327 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 2: But what is that? It's not liberty, it's redistribution of 328 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: wealth by force. Now there needs to be some of it. 329 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: There needs to be some taxation, there needs to be 330 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: some level of a centralized government. But positive power embraces 331 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 2: that kind of power for the purpose of promoting what 332 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 2: a civil society? What do the democrats want to do? 333 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: They seek to destroy the civil society. What a Marxist 334 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: seek to do? Destroy the civil society. What are these 335 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: these fundamentalists Islamis seek to do destroy the civil society. 336 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: The French Revolution, about the same time as the American Revolution, 337 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: was a war on society. The American Revolution was never 338 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 2: a war on society. It was a war on a 339 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: far off monarchy that would not allow representative government, representative 340 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 2: consensual government by the people, the sovereign. We we have 341 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: unalienable rights, we have free will. That's the point of 342 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 2: the declaration, that's the point of the founding. And yet 343 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: at every turn, whether it is Marxism or Islamism or 344 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: frankly the Democrat Party, what I call soft negative power 345 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: they are trying to seize from us. Are God given 346 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,239 Speaker 2: liberty and rights they're trying to seize from us the 347 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 2: American experiment, And what I'm saying is we need to 348 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: start explaining this as a battle over power. The Democrat 349 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 2: Party takes its identity sadly enough but true, from the 350 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: Communist Party in a soft negative power way. They are 351 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: about empowering the Democrat Party at all costs, and it 352 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: has a poisonous canter effect. Let me be let me 353 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: give you an example. Wocism. What is wokeism? Wocism is 354 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 2: basically a communist construct. What is it. We are going 355 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: to impose new words on you. We're going to take 356 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 2: old words and redefine them them. We're going to take 357 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 2: the nuclear family and destroy it. We're going to take 358 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: science and pretend it's science when it's not science. We're 359 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 2: going to do all these things. Why for thought control, 360 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 2: for conformity. We don't want the sharing of knowledge. We 361 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: don't want the sharing of information. We don't want a 362 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 2: healthy republic. We want a thought controlled republic of sorts, 363 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: in which we impose our views through propaganda and so forth. 364 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 2: It is about controlling your mind, controlling the people. Look 365 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 2: what happened during the pandemic. How quickly the Democrat cities 366 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: and Democrat governors kicked into action. Immediately your liberty was attacked, Immediately, 367 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: your mobility was attacked. Immediately everything the nation was found 368 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 2: on became subject to government rule. And that's exactly what 369 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: the Democrats believe in. Just listen to how they speak. 370 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,479 Speaker 2: And so this battle for the future needs to be 371 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 2: properly defined. We need to go on offense. This is 372 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 2: a struggle over power, ours as individual, ours, as the 373 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 2: sovereign people versus them who wants the lord over us. 374 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: Explain and contrast it to positive power. You spend a 375 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 3: lot of time on. 376 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 2: That wellgative positive power is this, Look at the Bill 377 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 2: of Rights. That's positive power. Why it protects the individual. 378 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 2: Those ten amendments to the Constitution are all about protecting 379 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: the individual, all of them. You do process rights, you 380 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 2: have to get warrants. You have the right to bear arms. 381 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: You have a right to exercise religion, but nobody has 382 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 2: a right to impose the religion on you. You have 383 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: a right to free speech and freedom of association and 384 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 2: so forth and so on. The government can't impose, you know, 385 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: outrageous finds on you, outrageous jail terms on you. The 386 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 2: ninth Amendment really, to me, is an embodiment of the 387 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: Declaration Individual Liberty. The tenth Amendment says, hey, power has 388 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 2: to check power. We are not creating an all powerful, 389 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: sensualized governm. In fact, we're creating a centralized government powerful 390 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: enough to actually do things, but not to devour the society. 391 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 2: To devour the society, negative power is about devouring the 392 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: society through government, through a relative handful of individuals, masterminds 393 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 2: of the ruling class. This is why If you listen 394 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 2: carefully to a Bernie Sanders, he goes on and on 395 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: about eliminating billionaires, eliminating this get rid of capitalism, because 396 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: all of that challenges them. As an example, billionaires, What 397 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: do we care if there's one billionaire or one hundred 398 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: thousand billionaires, How does that affect you and me, mister 399 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 2: and missus America. Not in the least. We live better today, 400 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: whether you're a plumber, electrician, a doctor, a cop, a firefighter, 401 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: than any king and queen lived one hundred years ago. 402 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: We have more access to more food, to housing, to transportation, 403 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 2: to more than any king or queen could have dreamed 404 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 2: or for that matter, Mao or Stalin or any of 405 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: the rest of them. Why because of positive power, because 406 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: of the emphasis on the individual, because of the emphasis 407 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 2: on we the people. The sovereign Communism or Marxism, radical Islamism, 408 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 2: economic socialism are completely incompatible with the sovereignty of the 409 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 2: individual and the sovereignty of the people. So this is 410 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 2: why I say we need to make this a battle, 411 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: a tug of war over power. We need to go 412 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: on offense. When some jerk who's thirty three years old, 413 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 2: who has this massive wedding and you're gone to but 414 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: comes back here and preaches Marxism and Islamism and anti Semitism. 415 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: That guy needs to be confronted. It's not enough to 416 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 2: expose his hypocrisy. It's not enough to say, oh, he'll 417 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 2: chase out business, so do all those things. But people 418 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 2: need to understand, mister, and this is America. Need to 419 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: understand that he's at war with you. He wants to 420 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: steal from you your god given rights, your ability to 421 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: prove your lot in life, your ability to live the 422 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 2: lifestyle you want to live. And he some thirty three 423 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 2: year old know nothing, like Castro who was a twenty 424 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: nine year old, know nothing. They wish to impose their 425 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 2: will on you. And one of the things in the 426 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 2: book I talk about that I hope we'll get to 427 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 2: is the use of language, the use of what. 428 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 3: I ask you about ja yes, sir, because you have 429 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 3: a whole chapter on language, and that's what it's called 430 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 3: on language. You know, many years ago, Mark I read it. 431 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 3: It was sort of like a pamphlet that was fairly comprehensive, 432 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: and it was a synthesis of Russian mind control techniques 433 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 3: and the way you express it in the book is 434 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 3: that there is a power of language and a power 435 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 3: over language. And you said, for the tyrant, positive speech 436 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 3: in the form of free speech is the gravest threat. 437 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 3: And then you said conversely, and to underscore the point, 438 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 3: free speech is requisite to all other freedoms. And language 439 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 3: control is mind or thought control. If you look at 440 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 3: the foundational aspects of wokeism or group think, isn't it 441 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 3: all rooted in this battle over language? And it really 442 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 3: is a battle over language? 443 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: One hundred percent? Are you looking all these well, look 444 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: look at the Democrats. The whole wokeism ideas I mentioned, 445 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: is a way to control communication. Look, the way you 446 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: improve a society is if free people are communicating with 447 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: each other, sharing their knowledge, sharing policy ideas, sharing their thoughts, 448 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: sharing their experiences. Okay, great, what do you need for that. 449 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 2: You need free speech, You need these these channels of 450 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 2: free speech, and you need it especially when the nation 451 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 2: is challenged like during COVID or whatever. What did the 452 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: Democrats do? What did Biden do? They shut it down 453 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 2: as fast as they could. Why, as we now know, 454 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 2: and as many of us knew before, control control. It's interesting. 455 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 2: I went back and looked at liberty and Tyrian and 456 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 2: I said, often situations like that pandemic, even though the 457 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: pandemic hadn't happened, are used for the government to seize power. 458 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: And what do they do. They seized power from whome, 459 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 2: from the sovereign, from the people, from the individual who 460 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 2: they said couldn't make decisions on their own. So we've 461 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: elected politicians who have exactly no experience in science, no 462 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: experience of any kind in anything. For the most part, 463 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,719 Speaker 2: many of them have been lawyers. Many of them are 464 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 2: very wealthy people, but they don't know anything about anything, 465 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 2: and they decide we're going to seize control. We're going 466 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: to make this an issue. We're going to determine what 467 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 2: stores will be open, whether churches and synagogues can be open, 468 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: whether you can go on public parks. That was frightening. 469 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 2: That is a lesson to us. And again it's a reminder, 470 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 2: what is this battle over our power versus their power? 471 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 2: The Democrat Party has thrown in with the authoritarians. The 472 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: Democrat Party is about authoritarianism and the people running against 473 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: Mandami and the rest. This is what they need to explain. Hello, 474 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: this guy is a want to be Marxist dictator. This 475 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 2: guy is an authoritarian. This guy's trying to steal your liberty. 476 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: What do we fight wars for? What do our men 477 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: go into war for? Carrying the American flag, redistribution of wealth, 478 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 2: the control of the means of production by the guvernment. No, No, 479 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: we fight for our system of government. We fight for 480 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 2: our sovereignty. We fight for our liberty. That's what we 481 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: fight wars over. Not what the Democrat Party is trying 482 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 2: to transition this nation into. The Democrat Party is the 483 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 2: American Marxist Party, is the Radical Islamist Party. It is 484 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: not the party of the individual and prosperity and success 485 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 2: and merit. 486 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 3: All right, quick, freak right back. We'll continue more with 487 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 3: the grade one Mark Levin. His brand new book is 488 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 3: out On Power.

James Gomy, 490 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 3: you have the right to remain silent, and you might 491 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 3: want to use it. 492 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: This is a Sean Hannity show. 493 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 3: Right, we continue with the great one, Mark Levin. We're 494 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 3: talking about his brand new book just released today in 495 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,959 Speaker 3: bookstores around the country. 496 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: It's called On Power. 497 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 3: You know, when you look at individual rights, I mean, 498 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 3: what really comes down to is our Americans are are 499 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 3: they willing to embrace freedom?
