1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: I think Scott shan an hour two Sean Hannity's show

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Toll Free are numbers eight hundred and nine to four

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: one Sean, if you want to be a part of

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: the program. There's no doubt that the books, the great

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: one my dear friend Mark Levin has written, are impactful, influential,

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: and I would even argue many of them will be

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: studied for decades to come. I don't care if it's

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: men in black talking about unelected judges that will legislate

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: from the bench. We see weaponization and what Democrats can

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: get done electorally what they can't get done legislatively. They

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: race the liberal courts, they go judge shopping. We've talked

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: often about that. Another one. Liberty and Tyranny would be

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: one that I think will be read decades and decades

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: from now. Ameritopia would be another one. American Marxism would

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: be another one. The Democrat Party Hates America would be

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: another one. And the one that Mark has just written,

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: it's out today for the first day in bookstores all

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: around the country, is right up there with all of

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: his top best selling books. And it's called On Power.

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: And I decided I didn't want to race through this

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: book because it is so relevant. It's ripped right out

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: of the headlines that we're living today, all of these

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: new developments through declassification by Tulsea Gabbard. More to come

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: with John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, about what the Democrats

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: have done, how they have abused Donald Trump and abused

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: the people that voted for him, How they orchestrated a

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: phony Russia hoax, how they had validated the authenticity of

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: a very real laptop nobody ever examined it. They prebunked

29
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: it for an entire summer meeting weekly with big tech companies,

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: knowing the story would drop because they knew Rudy Giuliani's

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: then attorney, Bob Costello had a copy of it. It

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: does drop, they won't confirm to big media that reached

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: out to them social media companies people like Mark Zuckerberg

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: and Jack Dorsey at the time running Twitter, who said,

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: is this the Russian disinformation about Hunter and Joe you

36
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: are warning us about or is this real meaning Hunter's laptop.

37
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: They had validated its authenticity in March of twenty twenty.

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: That would be putting cinderblocks on the scales of an election.

39
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: So his new book is called on Power, and it

40
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: is ripped from today's headlines.

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: A great one. Welcome to the program. It's been a while.

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: How am I? Thank me?

43
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: God bless us? Wow, you look great run radio? How

44
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: can I look great on radio? It was great to

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: see you. It was fun over the weekend because I

46
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: got to interview you on your show Life, Liberty and Levin.

47
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: I got a lot of positive comments on it. I

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: haven't seen the ratings yet. I hope they would throw

49
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: the roof. Yes, the issue of power, I mean we

50
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: see a power struggle both the republic Republican Party, Democratic Party.

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: They have coalitions, but we see within the Democratic Party

52
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: that the radicals in that party have taken over Kasmin

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: krock Att, the Squad, Grandpap Bernie, AOC Pocahontas.

54
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: Now this guy, mom Nani and what.

55
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: You write about power and when you apply it to

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the headlines that today, you said, throughout the history, throughout history,

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: from ancient civilizations to modern Western republics, power has been

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: used to both oppress and to liberate, to reward and

59
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: to exploit, to destroy, and to build monarchs, dictators, elites

60
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: who impose tyranny, seek to consolidate power, stripping freedom from individuals.

61
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: To maintain control over societies. They use force and deception

62
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: to ensure that their rules remain unchallenged, claiming to act

63
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: in the name of the common good while stripping individuals

64
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: of their freedoms.

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: That is a powerful powagraph. Let's start there.

66
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Sean, I take this word power and

67
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: I divide it into positive power. And you're talking there

68
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: about negative power. Because I got to thinking, what was

69
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 3: the Revolutionary War really about? You know, we talk about

70
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: it very superficially, the Declaration, What does that really mean?

71
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: We talk about that at a very surface level, and

72
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: I got to thinking it's over power. Because liberty without

73
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: rights is nothing. Rights without power don't exist. And so

74
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: God is the sovereign. God gives his children sovereignty over government,

75
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: over society. That's us, we the people, and that's where

76
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: our government comes from, our country comes from. That's what

77
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: makes it so unique. Fused with the Enlightenment. What's the

78
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: enlightenment That power needs to check power, that you need

79
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: three branches of government. Again, we don't want mobocracy, pure democracy,

80
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: and we don't want dictatorships centralized power. And look at

81
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 3: the beautiful Constitution, the Declaration of the Constitution. You and

82
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: I and our audiences are having to spend our lifetimes

83
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: to defend it against what against negative power, against individuals

84
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 3: who reject all of this. They reject the Enlightenment, they

85
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: reject the Judeo Christian belief system. That's what makes America unique,

86
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: even from other Western democracies, certainly from radical Islam, certainly

87
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: from communism. Communism attacks the whole basis for the American founding.

88
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 3: It is incompatible Marxism, this guy Mandami, all of them,

89
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders, what they're preaching is incompatible with Americanism and

90
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: our experiment. Same with radical Islam, which believes in not

91
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 3: freedom of speech and ideas. They reject the Enlightenment. They

92
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 3: reject at all because that political Islam has never gone

93
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: through the Reformation. They reject the Enlightenment, and their scholars

94
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: talk about destroying the West. So they have fused and

95
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party represents this negative power. Now they're not yet,

96
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: you know, genocidal in that sense, So it's a soft

97
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: negative power. They believe in what I call authoritarian democracy.

98
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: We vote, but it has less and less meaning. We

99
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: have a democracy, really republic, but it has less and less,

100
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 3: meaning they spend their entire existence trying to get around

101
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: the Constitution, trying to destroy its firewalls, trying to destroy

102
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: our culture. You and I, our listeners, We defend all

103
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 3: these things. So I thought, got to thinking, Sean, let's

104
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: figure out a better way to discuss this. Let's get

105
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: to the number, the matter and the battle, the battle

106
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: today of the people you mentioned in US. It's over power,

107
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: That's what it is. And so I take that term

108
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: and I try and explain it and unravel it.

109
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: We saw the worst of negative power, and then I'll

110
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: get to positive power in a minute. We can go back,

111
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: for example, in the last century, and I don't care

112
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: if you're talking about Mao in China and Stalin and Russia,

113
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: and Hitler and Germany and Mussolini and Tojo in Japan,

114
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: and you combine it all together, and we lost well

115
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: over one hundred million human souls in the name of

116
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: some ism I wrote about in Live, Fory or Die

117
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: socialism and its history of failure. And it's a little

118
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: bit different because this when that last century, when you

119
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: talk about death and destruction, that is the nth degree

120
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: that it can go to. And then you have different

121
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: degrees of whatever manifestation, whatever name you put on its socialism, statism, communism, Marxism.

122
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: It's all one and the same in many many ways.

123
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: And what I was trying to point out is you

124
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: always have these incredible promises that will never be fulfilled.

125
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: You end up poorer than when you started, and then

126
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: you calculate how much of your freedom you gave up

127
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: in the name of false security. And when you get

128
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: to the positive side of power, which you go into

129
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: in great detail, you talk about our framers, you talk

130
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: about God, and you spend a lot of time on God.

131
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: In this book.

132
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: You talk about our constitution and how they understood that

133
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: strong societies are born not from force, by consent of

134
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: the governed, and societies building these checks and balances, fair

135
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: elections and the preservation of individual rights. But they will

136
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: only thrive in that environment. So you have two competing

137
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: forces here.

138
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: But let me be clear, I'm not proselytizing in this book,

139
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 3: as you know, I'm not even good at it. I'm

140
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: explaining what the founders of our country did, what they believe.

141
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: Let me give an example, because you make a very

142
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: good point faith the Judeo Christian belief system people don't

143
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: have to be Jewish, they don't have to be Christian,

144
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 3: they don't believe anything. They could be agnostic, they can

145
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: be atheists, they can be Buddhists and Hindus, whatever you want.

146
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: But just understand, this country is tolerant. This country embraces

147
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 3: representative constitutional government. This country believes in debate and free

148
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 3: speech and freedom of association. Why because of the way

149
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: it was created with the Judeo Christian faith fused with

150
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: the Enlightenment. Who's the Enlightenment, Locke Montesquieu. People like that,

151
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: How do I know I'm right? Because our founders said so.

152
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: Most of all, Jefferson said so. And so the point

153
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: is that that's the kind of society we created. Marx

154
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: attacked our declaration of Independence. He attacked individual he will,

155
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: he attacked the idea of unalienable rights. Woodrow Wilson, the

156
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: first of the intellectual progressives, I call them American Marxist,

157
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: a president who is based on modern day Democrat party

158
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: belief systems. He rejected the Declaration of Independence. He wrote

159
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: such he was an American Marxist from Mars. FDR rejected

160
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: rejected the Declaration of Independence. FDR comes up with what

161
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: he calls the Second Bill of Rights. What is it?

162
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: It's literally plagiarized from Stalin's nineteen thirty six constitution, and

163
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: they have all these beautiful words and phrases. Sean like

164
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: this Mondami. I'm concerned about affordability. He's not concerned about affordability.

165
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: He supports open borders, massive debt, inflation, registribution of wealth,

166
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: which kills wealth. He wants to take the means of

167
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: production from home, the guy that owns the pizza parlor,

168
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 3: the plumber who has a little business, the means of

169
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,119
Speaker 3: production that's your labor, intellectual and physical. It's a constant

170
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: war against the sovereign. As the individual, your own circle

171
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 3: of liberty. It's the constant war on we the people,

172
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: we the sovereign, which is why they are endlessly centralizing government,

173
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: coming up with governmental answers. And the Democrat Party is

174
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: a power hungry party. Look and honestly, we're not power hungry.

175
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: We fight for power, positive power. They fight for negative

176
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: power to lurd over us, to have power over us.

177
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: This is the big distinction, and I think it would

178
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: help us if we make this distinction. Rather than talking

179
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: platitudes to younger people and other people to explain, do

180
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: you really want this kind of authority in your lives

181
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: telling you what to do day in and day on. Now,

182
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: some of our fellow citizens do, Okay, that's their problem,

183
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: But I don't believe most Americans, or at least a

184
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: majority of Americans, are ready to go in that direction

185
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: if it's explained and debated properly.

186
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: All right, quick freak, We'll come right back.

187
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,559

Speaker 1: the paint, in all the underpinnings of every philosophical and

00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: political battle we have on a daily basis. More with

Speaker 1: Continue now with Mark Levin. The Great One is brand

197
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: new book out today. It's called On Power, Amazon dot

198
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: Comhannity dot com. Bookstores all around the country as of today.

199
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: Reagan's famously said the freedom is but one generation away

200
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: from extinction. I think we came perilously close in this

201
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: last election from maybe getting to the point of no return.

202
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: Maybe that's an overstatement, and maybe you disagree with that.

203
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how we would have come back with

204
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: four more years, maybe eight more years of open borders

205
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: and the radical Green New Deal and you know, a

206
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegals and convicts and

207
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: feminine products and grade school boys' bathrooms and taxpayer funded

208
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: college education, and you know, the Green New Deal, et cetera,

209
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: et cetera. I don't know if these policies were implemented,

210
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: how you ever unravel them.

211
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 3: And that's a great point. You see, here's the deal.

212
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: Most of these autocracies, as you say, call whatever it

213
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: is and you want, they don't rely on majority rule.

214
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: They rely on rule if they win one election. They

215
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: seek to make permanent changes the Democrat Party has made,

216
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,479
Speaker 3: but they hoped were permanent changes through immigration, lack of assimilation,

217
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: to destroy the status quo. The American culture. They don't

218
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 3: even talk about the American culture unless they're attacking it.

219
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 3: Sixteen to nineteen project, attacking our history, CRT, attacking our

220
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: Bill of Rights. The Constitution, they said, written by a

221
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: bunch of white slave owners. While they wave around the

222
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 3: Constitution but they hate it because the Constitution believes in

223
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: power checking power. That's the genius of the Constitution right there,

224
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: power checking power wo Which is why I decided there's

225
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 3: not enough focus on this issue of power. The Democrat

226
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: Party is power hungry. They want centralized power, they want

227
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: a lord over us. They don't believe in the sovereignty

228
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: of the individual. They don't believe in the sovereignty of

229
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 3: we the people. So it's absolutely crucial that we start

230
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: going on the offense rather than playing defense. So this

231
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: guy talks about affordability in New York. Really, so where

232
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: has Marxism ever provided affordability? Empty shelves, economic dislocation, impoverishment.

233
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: But what else?

234
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: The growing iron fist of a police state that gets

235
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: involved in every aspect of your life. That's what he

236
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: stands for. That's what they stand for, and that's what

237
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 3: we need to explain.

238
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: All right, Well, take a break, we'll come back more

239
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: with the Great One. Mark Levin Is Brandon book is out.

240
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: It's called On Power, just release today. It's some bookstores

241
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: all around the country. It's on Amazon dot com, it's

242
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com. All right, we continue with the

243
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: Great One. As I call him Mark Levin. We're talking

244
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: about his new book. It's called On Power. It's in

245
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: bookstores all around the country starting today. It's on Amazon

246
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: dot Com. We have it up on Hannity dot com.

247
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: I wanted to.

248
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: Drill a little deeper into a couple of chapters you

249
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: have on this book. And that's negative power and positive power.

250
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: I never thought we'd get to a point in a

251
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: free America where the government would want to tell us

252
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: what cars we can and cannot drive, but we were

253
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: getting very close. I never thought we'd get to a

254
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: point that the government would tell us what stoves we

255
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: can and cannot use. I never thought they'd want to

256
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: pick and choose our refrigerator and freezers and washers and dryers,

257
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: or you know, tell us that we can't use plastic

258
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: straws anymore. They wanted us to use paper straws. But

259
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: that's negative power, you know, define this, explain this, extrapolate

260
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: on this.

261
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: Any government that has the power to tell you what

262
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: kind of straw to you use has enormous power way

263
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: outside of our constitutional republic, that's for sure. And that's

264
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: the point, which is this negative power is about coercion.

265
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 3: It's about conformity and uniformity. It is about re engineering

266
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: human beings. It is about rejiggering society. It is about

267
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: turning the culture inside out. It is antithetical to everything

268
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: that the Revolution was fought for and our Constitution was

269
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: ratified for. This whole idea is imported from Europe. It

270
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 3: is a Marxist mindset, as von Mesi says, and I

271
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: quote him in the book A Great Austrian Economist, which

272
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: is we all talk and sound like Marxists. Now you

273
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: can even hear some of the populaces. I hear, well,

274
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: we ought to give this group this and this group that. Okay, great,

275
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: but what is that? It's not liberty, it's redistribution of

276
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: wealth by force. Now there needs to be some of it.

277
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: There needs to be some tax, There needs to be

278
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: some level of a centralized government. But positive power embraces

279
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: that kind of power for the purpose of promoting What

280
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: a civil society? What do the democrats want to do

281
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: they seek to destroy the civil society. What a Marxist

282
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: seek to do destroy the civil society? What are these

283
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 3: fundamentalists Islamis seek to do destroy the civil society? The

284
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: French Revolution about the same time as the American Revolution

285
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: was a war on society. The American Revolution was never

286
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 3: a war on society. It was a war on a

287
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: far off monarchy that would not allow representative government, representative

288
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 3: consensual government by the people, the sovereign. We we have

289
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: unalienable rights, we have free will. That's the point of

290
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 3: the declaration, that's the point of the founding. And yet

291
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 3: at every turn, whether it is Marxism or Islamism, or

292
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: frankly the Democrat Party, what I call soft negative power,

293
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 3: they are trying to seize from us God given liberty

294
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 3: and rights. They're trying to seize from us the American experiment.

295
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: And what I'm saying is we need to start explaining

296
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: this as a battle over power. The Democrat Party takes

297
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 3: its identity sadly enough but true, from the Communist Party

298
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 3: in a soft negative power way. They are about empowering

299
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party at all costs, and it has a

300
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 3: poisonous cancer effect. Let me, let me be Let me

301
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 3: give you an example.

302
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: Wocism. What is wocism.

303
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: Wocism is basically a communist construct.

304
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: What is it.

305
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: We are going to impose new words on you, We're

306
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: going to take old words and redefine them. We're going

307
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: to take the nuclear family and destroy it. We're going

308
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: to take science and pretend it's science when it's not science.

309
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: We're going to do all these things. Why for thought control,

310
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 3: for conformity. We don't want the sharing of knowledge. We

311
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: don't want the sharing of information. We don't want to

312
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 3: healthy republic. We want a thought controlled republic of sorts,

313
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 3: in which we impose our views through propaganda and so forth.

314
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: It is about controlling your mind, controlling the people. Look

315
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: what happened during the pandemic. How quickly the Democrat cities

316
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: and Democrat governors kicked into action. Immediately your liberty was attacked, Immediately,

317
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: your mobility was attacked. Immediately everything the nation was found

318
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 3: on became subject to government rule. And that's exactly what

319
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: the Democrats believe in. Just listen to how they speak.

320
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: And so this battle for the future needs to be

321
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: properly defined. We need to go on offense. This is

322
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: a struggle over power, ours as individual, ours as the

323
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: sovereign people versus them who wants the lord over us.

324
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: Explain and contrast it to positive power. You spend a

325
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: lot of time.

326
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: On that, well, negative positive power is this look at

327
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: the Bill of Rights. That's positive power. Why it protects

328
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: the individual. Those ten amendments to the Constitution are all

329
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: about protecting the individual, all of them. You have do

330
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 3: process rights, you have to get warrants. You have the

331
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: right to bear arms. You have a right to exercise religion,

332
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: but nobody has a right to impose the religion on

333
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: you. You have a right to free speech and freedom of association,

334
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 3: and so forth and so on. The government can't impose

335
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: outrageous finds on you, outrageous jail terms on you. The

336
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 3: ninth Amendment really, to me, is an embodiment of the

337
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 3: Declaration Individual Liberty. The tenth Amendment says, hey, power has

338
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 3: to check power. We are not creating an all powerful,

339
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: centralized government. In fact, we're creating a centralized government powerful

340
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 3: enough to actually do things, but not to devour the society.

341
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: To devour the society, negative power is about devouring the

342
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 3: society through government through a relative handful of individuals, masterminds

343
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: of the ruling class. This is why if you listen

344
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 3: carefully to a Bernie Sanders, he goes on and on

345
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: about eliminating billionaires, eliminating this get rid of capitalism, because

346
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 3: all of that challenges them. As an example, billionaires, What

347
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: do we care if there's one billionaire or one hundred

348
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 3: thousand billionaires, How does that affect you and me, mister

349
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 3: and missus America.

350
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: Not in the least.

351
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 3: We live better today, whether you're a plumber, electrician, a doctor,

352
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: a cop, a firefighter, than any king and queen lived

353
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: one hundred years ago. We have more access to more food,

354
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: to housing, to transportation, to more than any king or

355
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: queen could have dreamed, or for that matter, Mao or

356
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 3: Stalin or any of the rest of them. Why because

357
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: of positive power, because of the emphasis on the individual,

358
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: because of the emphasis on we the people. The sovereign

359
00:21:54,560 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: communism or Marxism, radical Islamism, economic socialism are completely incompatible

360
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: with the sovereignty of the individual and the sovereignty of

361
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: the people. So this is why I say we need

362
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: to make this a battle, a tug of war over power.

363
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: We need to go on offense. When some jerk who's

364
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: thirty three years old, who has this massive wedding and

365
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: you're gone to but comes back here and preaches Marxism,

366
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 3: in Islamism and anti Semitism, that guy needs to be

367
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 3: confronted it's not enough to expose his hypocrisy. It's not

368
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: enough to say, oh, he'll chase out business, so do

369
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: all those things. But people need to understand, mister, and

370
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: this is America. Need to understand that he's at war

371
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 3: with you. He wants to steal from you your god

372
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: given rights, your ability to improve your lot in life,

373
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: your ability to live the lifestyle you want to live.

374
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 3: And he, some thirty three year old, know nothing, like

375
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 3: Castro who was a twenty nine year old, know nothing.

376
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: They wish to impose their will on you. And one

377
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: of the things in the book I talk about that

378
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 3: I hope we'll get to is the use of language,

379
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: the use of.

380
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: When I ask you about that, yes, because you have

381
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: a whole chapter on language, and that's what it's called

382
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: on language. You know, many years ago, Mark, I read

383
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: it was it was sort of like a pamphlet, but

384
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: it was fairly comprehensive, and it was a synthesis of

385
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Russian mind control techniques. And the way you express it

386
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: in the book is that there is a power of

387
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: language and a power over language. And you said, for

388
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: the tyrant, positive speech in the form of free speech

389
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: is the gravest threat and then you said conversely, and

390
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: to underscore the point, free speech is requisite to all

391
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: other freedoms. And language control is mind or thought control.

392
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: If you look at the foundational aspects of wokeism or

393
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 1: group think, isn't it all rooted in this this battle

394
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: over language? And it really is a battle over language.

395
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: Are you looking all these well, look look at the Democrats.

396
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 3: The whole of ideas I mentioned is a way to

397
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: control communication. Look, the way you improve a society is

398
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: if free people are communicating with each other, sharing their knowledge,

399
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 3: sharing policy ideas, sharing their thoughts, sharing their experiences. Okay, great,

400
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 3: what do you need for that? You need free speech.

401
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: You need these channels of free speech, and you need

402
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 3: it especially when the nation is challenged, like during COVID

403
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 3: or whatever. What did the Democrats do?

404
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: What did they do?

405
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: They shut it down as fast as they could. Why,

406
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: as we now know, and as many of us knew before,

407
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 3: control control. It's interesting I went back and looked at

408
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 3: liberty and tyrian and I said, often situations like that pandemic,

409
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: even though the pandemic hadn't happened, are used for the

410
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 3: government to seize power. And what do they do? They

411
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: seized power from home, from the sovereign, from the people,

412
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 3: from the individual who they said couldn't make decisions on

413
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 3: their own. So I've elected politic icians who have exactly

414
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: no experience in science, no experience of any kind in anything.

415
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 3: For the most part, many of them have been lawyers.

416
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: Many of them are very wealthy people, but they don't

417
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 3: know anything about anything, and they decide we're going to

418
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: seize control. We're going to make this an issue. We're

419
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 3: going to determine what stores will be open, whether churches

420
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 3: and synagogues can be open, whether you can go on

421
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 3: public parks. That was frightening. That is a lesson to us.

422
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 3: And again it's a reminder, what is this battle over

423
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: our power versus their power? The Democrat Party has thrown

424
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: in with the authoritarians. The Democrat Party is about authoritarianism

425
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: and the people running against Mandami and the rest. This

426
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: is what they need to explain. Hello, this guy is

427
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: a want to be Marxist dictator. This guy is an authoritarian.

428
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: This guy's trying to steal your liberty. What do we

429
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 3: fight wars for? What do our men go into war for?

430
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: Carrying the American flag? Redistribution of wealth, the control of

431
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 3: the means of production by the government. No. No, we

432
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: fight for our system of government. We fight for our sovereignty,

433
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: We fight for our liberty. That's what we fight wars over,

434
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 3: not what the Democrat Party is trying to transition this

435
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 3: nation into. The Democrat Party is the American Marxist Party,

436
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: is the Radical Islamist Party. It is not the party

437
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: of the individual and prosperity and success and merit.

438
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: All right, quick, freak right back. We'll continue more with

439
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: the great One, Mark Levin. His brand new book is

440
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: out On Power. It's on Amazon dot Comhanity dot com

441
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: and as of today, bookstores all around the country. Up next,

442
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: our final roundup and information overload. Our right, we continue

443
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: with the great One, Mark Levin. We're talking about is

444
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: brand new book just released today in bookstores around the country.

445
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: It's called On Power.

446
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: You know, when you look at individual rights, I mean,

447
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: what it really comes down to is our Americans are

448
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: they willing to embrace freedom? And with freedom comes responsibility,

449
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: and with freedom comes choice, and with choice comes consequences

450
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: for one's.

451
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 2: Choices in life.

452
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: And to me, it really all comes down to the

453
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: individual and the types of decisions they all make in

454
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: their lives and whether or not they live under a

455
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: governmental system that allows that choice. Our governmental system on

456
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: paper allows that choice, although you do have from time

457
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: to time politicians pop up that want to even control

458
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: the means of production, like in the case of Mamdani

459
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: and doesn't even want civil society by defunding and dismantling

460
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: the police and nobeil laws and replacing police with social

461
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: workers and everything in between, oh and taxing rich wider neighborhoods.

462
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 3: More.

463
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,800
