On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, it’s time for a Levin surge to tell your member of Congress to vote yes for the big, beautiful bill. Yes, there are certain issues that matter to us all that are not addressed as we would wish, but there are many very important provisions in this bill that must be enacted from tax cuts and more resources for detaining and deporting criminal illegal aliens! There is a meniscal majority in the House. If there was a larger majority the outcome might be different, but IF is not reality. In ‘On Power’ negative power is maintained through manipulative communication techniques like deception, fearmongering, and intimidation, designed to suppress independent thought and arouse prejudice. This approach aims to control populations by undermining morality and open democratic societies, denying citizens the information needed for informed decisions. Such language seeks to incite destructive actions that serve the demagogue’s goals, corrupting the legitimate consent of the governed. This is exactly what’s going on today with Democrats such as Rep Hakeem Jeffries, Rep Nancy Pelosi and Zohran Mamdani. The Democrat party sounds like a Stalinist party. Later, the district attorney is incompetent and immoral for striking a plea deal that allows Bryan Kohberger to live, despite the defense’s claims of innocence and attempts to distract from the evidence. It’s unjust that taxpayers must fund Kohberger’s life in prison while good people lost their lives too soon. The legal system’s handling of this case was utterly immoral. Also, in Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville warns that America’s democracy could falter under the weight of a vast administrative state. He describes this state as an overreaching, paternalistic power that, while mild and providential, seeks to manage every aspect of citizens’ lives—security, needs, pleasures, and property. We see this happening in NYC. Finally, Rep Jim Jordan calls in to explain that the big, beautiful bill is as good as it gets. You know this is a good bill because Democrats hate it. This bill empowers Americans through tax cuts, including eliminating taxes on tips, promoting school choice, and implementing work requirements for welfare recipients. This bill strengthens border security with more ICE agents, detention spaces, and funding for the wall.
