Summary

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address was a compelling address focused on faith, harmony, and unity. Lincoln urged "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.” Then, Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls for statues that have been in the Capitol building to be removed. Interestingly when she was Speaker, Barack Obama was President, Joe Biden was Vice President, and Harry Reid was Senate Majority Leader (all four of them Democrats) they did nothing to remove the statues then. Later, the violence that the hard left has embraced is the acceptance of totalitarianism. The media's silence is the acquiescence of the takeover of a Seattle police precinct and six blocks surrounding it. Afterward, the Democrats thrive when Americans have their hands at each other's throats. Sen. Tim Scott is labeled "a token" by the left for being a successful African American because he's a Republican and the left never seeks to lift up, they only seek to tear down. Meanwhile, then-Sen. Joe Biden praised the daughters of the confederacy as "very fine people" for continuing to display the confederate flag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:33.0	we've once again made contact with our leader, Mike Lovend.
1:33.0	Hello America, I'm Mark Levin, our number 877-3813-811-877-3813-3811.
2:02.0	I believe I know why you tune into this program because you may learn something different, something substantive.
2:11.0	And I think that's what I try and do here. I'm going to get into all these other things that are going on.
2:17.0	But first, we need to know more about our country.
2:25.0	When you were in school, those of you who are younger, did you ever read Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address? I'm assuming you haven't.
2:36.0	Well, you know, June 11, 1925 was when my father was born 95 years ago.
2:45.0	Today is the anniversary of his birthday. And he left quite a legacy behind. He was a huge fan of Abraham Lincoln's.
2:54.0	And he was repulsed by slavery and he was repulsed by segregation and he was repulsed by racism, as has our entire family been from day one.
3:06.0	And that's why he wrote, you know, illustrated books about Lincoln in the Civil War.

3:50.0	Although McClellan was popular with the troops, Lincoln lost trust in McClellan due to his indecisiveness and at times defiance.
4:00.0	Lincoln's re-election initially in some doubt was improved significantly by a number of Union battlefield victories in the late summer of 1864.
