Summary

On Friday’s Mark Levin Show, excessive or misdirected compassion in Western societies, especially among progressives, leads to self-destructive policies by prioritizing the needs and feelings of perceived marginalized or external groups over the survival, security, and interests of one's own civilization, ultimately causing its weakening or destruction. That’s the radical left and how they coddle Islamists even though it destroys our own country. It’s suicidal if we let one more radical Islamist into America or we don’t remove those here for the cancer they are spreading. Marxists, Islamists, and the Left deliberately manipulate language as a weapon to advance their agenda against ordinary Americans.  Also, Iran is becoming the North Korea of the Middle East. It exists to fund the regime and its police state and military. The people are suffering from a complete lack of civil liberties, a destitute economy, and a nearly non-existent middle class. Like North Korea, it is turning into a country-wide concentration camp. If we do not act decisively, quickly, and overwhelmingly with our military against the top of the regime, Iran will, in fact, build nuclear weapons, as North Korea has despite dozens of agreements over the decades, in which they pledged not to.  Any regime that is willing to slaughter its own people by the tens of thousands, as Iran is doing, will not hesitate to launch ICBMs with nuclear warheads against our cities.  Later, the Democrat Party lies repeatedly to gain power. Gov Abigal Spanberger campaigned as a moderate but she’s raising taxes on everyday items and is proposing new income tax rates for the "rich," which will make Virginia unaffordable and turn it into a dark blue state.  Afterward, Don Lemon isn’t a real journalist, he just seeks drama and attention. He violated the law for storming into a Church service allegedly violating the FACE act. Yet, the media attacks the Trump administration. Learn more about your ad choices.
