and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.

Thank you for listening, and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

He's here. He's here. Now broadcasting from the underground command post. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-distrib building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.

Hello, America. Mark Levin, our numbers, 87, 7, 3, 8, 1, 3, 8, 1, 8, 7, 7, 3, 8, 1, 3, 8, 1, 1.

My purpose this evening is my purpose every evening behind this microphone on Levin TV, on life, liberty, and Levin, and through my books is to defend and protect this republic.

Whether some of you listening believe it or not, whether millennials believe it or not, I do this for them.

I do this for our families, for our children, and our grandchildren, whether they understand it or not.

Progressivism is an offshoot of Marxism. Marxism is a dark, impoverishing, destructive ideology.

Progressivism and constitutionalism are incompatible. The early progressives, I call them status or neomarchsists, the end of the 1800s or the early 1900s.

They made it abundantly clear that they rejected the constitutional republic, that they even rejected the Declaration of Independence, the basis for the founding of this nation, on unalienable rights.

They believed in private property rights, not distributing and redistributing property based on what a central government decides.

The reason we had a civil war was because the Declaration of Independence compelled it. You don't have to believe me, believe Abraham Lincoln, who led the forces of the Union to end slavery and to keep the nation together.

He believed strongly in the Constitution.

A little over 100 years ago, this early in ideology of Marxism, or they call it progressiveism or democratic socialism, where centralized government bureaucrats, politicians have enormous power over your lives to redistribute wealth, to impose affirmative action sometimes for whites, sometimes for blacks, depending on the century.

It is an evil ideology that rejects individualism, that rejects true equal justice, and that rejects limited dispersed government.

This is the force we are confronting today. You can see a rogue house of representatives, where Nancy Pelosi has a 10 or 11 member majority seeking to impeach a president a second time, based on what the Democrats and their media, based on what never Trumpers insist, was an effort by the president of the United States, to cause an insurrection.

A breaching of the Capitol building. If you listen to the speech, you cannot conclude that that's the case.

If you listen to the speeches of partisan, if you listen to the speeches somebody who hates Trump, if you listen to the speeches at neo-Marxist, then you will use it and anything else to continue to drag this country through the gutter.

To continue to distract this nation from the threats of communist China, from the refusal to assist individuals in small businesses or in dire straits.

You will continue an obsession, because you hate Trump and you hate the fact that in 2016, he defeated Hillary Clinton, Farron Square, and that the great progressive abstraction.
