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 number is 877-3813-811-877-3813-811. There's a lot swirling around out there.

You know, when this country was founded, the purpose was for the government to be sort of quiet, not of the way.

And now it's day and end day, I'd talk about the government, what the government wants to do, and what it wants to do to us and so forth.

Joe Biden has a $3 trillion spending plan, that he wants to get done fast. Everything needs to get done fast before the American people realize what's taking place.

And the Democrats want to push it through a 50-50 Senate with Kamala Harris voting as the 51st vote. They want to push it through a House, where the Democrats will tend to lead an Nancy Pelosi trying to literally dislodge a Republican House member and replace it with a Democrat.

The level of tyranny and totalitarianism that's going on in this country is not really understood by so many people because of the media, and the media are utterly and completely contempt, contemptible and corrupt.

And we will jump into these issues, but I think what needs to be fully understood is the Democrat Party today is not really an American political party. It is an alien force.

It's an alien force pushing alien ideologies. It doesn't embrace any of our founding principles and ideals, and it promotes individuals who embrace the opposite.

It's just an appalling situation we're in here.

Now let me first talk about spending. They're in a rush because what they're doing is wrong. What they're doing is profligate. What they're doing is going to damage the country. But it will forever change America.

$3 trillion on top of the $2 trillion on top of a $4.5 trillion budget on top of $4.1 trillion that was already spent on the virus. And you can see the power that the government will have on programs, redistribution of wealth, taxation, regulations, because the worse it gets for you and the worse it gets for the private sector, the better it is for the government.

It gets bigger, stronger. You saw that through the pandemic. You saw the most liberal and well known are the Democrat governors and mayors do the worst job because they're tyrannical.

They pull out the brass knuckles and they put it on the iron fist.

And when it comes to spending, I have a question. All of you receiving checks this week, particularly young people who are choosing not to work but prefer to get the checks. But they're not alone because apparently it's very popular to receive checks.

So I want to ask you, those of you with children and grandchildren are those of you who hope to have children and grandchildren one day. Can we simultaneously love our children but betray their generation and generations yet born?

Among the least acknowledged facts of American modernity is the extent to which parents acting in their familial capacity naturally and tenaciously guard their young children from threat and peril.

To the point of risking their own physical and economic security in extreme cases. But as part of the political and governing community, that is the ruling generation.
