11/11/25 - The Rise of Extremism: Understanding Today's Political Landscape

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, the Democratic Party is being internally devoured by Marxism and Islamism, ideologies foreign to America's founding principles. These forces, power-hungry and seeking centralized control, mask their hatred for the country as righteousness, liberation, equality, and affordability, while spreading rapidly and replacing the party's base and leadership.  In response, a fascistic reaction emerges on the radical right by grifters like podcasters and influencers who gain fame and wealth promoting it. Both Marxists and fascists seek to destroy American institutions—the former to replace them, the latter claiming they fail—leading to dwindling support for the Declaration, Constitution, and founders. The Republican Party resists this fascistic right, albeit insufficiently, whereas the Democratic Party, having unleashed and failed to control these forces, is now becoming the Marxist left. Also, Rep Mike Lawler calls in and explains that the Democrat government shutdown was idiotic, aimed at fighting Trump and appeasing their far-left base through political leverage rather than benefiting Americans or addressing healthcare. He argues that Obamacare's affordability relies solely on federal subsidies like enhanced ACA tax credits, which he is open to extending for one year to enable fundamental fixes, as the program has driven up costs over 15 years, destroyed the system through ineffective consolidation, and failed to achieve economies of scale.  Afterward, UC Berkeley student radicals from groups including Students Organizing for Liberation, Jewish Voice for Peace, and Young Democratic Socialists of America organized protests against a Turning Point event. These protesters are anti-Israel, anti-US radicals linked to Soros operations and leftist figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC, who seek to overthrow the country rather than engage in civil debate. Finally, we thank all who served in the military, although thanks can never be enough. Veterans are a unique and shrinking breed who deserve appreciation for their sacrifices, with the country owing them a great debt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
