Summary

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Mark emphasized that books endure far beyond radio, podcasts, or TV. While he’s often discussed liberty, unalienable rights, and tyranny, he’s only touched on power indirectly. Now, he’s completed his latest book, On Power. This book is different than any other book Mark has written. On Power is an analysis of how power shapes history. Power is more than a word; it determines whether you are free or not. It’s a subject all of us deal with every day. It’s a matter that can be discussed psychologically, ideologically, and philosophically. Also, in On Power, there’s a stark contrast between America’s founding, rooted in a blend of faith and Enlightenment ideals, and the centralized control sought by political Islam, as highlighted by Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, a Muslim reformist. Jasser argues that Islamism, unlike the Judeo-Christian principles shaping America’s Constitution, rejects individual liberty and enforces a monolithic faith, often tied to anti-Israel and anti-Semitic agendas, as seen in groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. On Power examines the concept of power, its manipulation by politicians, media, and ideologues, and its impact on individuals and society. It aims to provoke a deeper understanding and dialogue about power's application, hoping to serve as a source for liberty against tyranny. Also, Saudi Arabia played a significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of Americans. Their Crown Prince didn’t even apologize once yesterday for what they did to us, and the 9/11 families are probably reeling from this. And Qatar protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people. The Supreme Court addressed a case involving President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. These national injunctions represent an unconstitutional overreach by federal district courts, lacking a historical or constitutional basis, and justices like Ketanji Brown Jackson are promoting a "deconstitutionalization" of government by justifying such injunctions as a means to force quick Supreme Court review.

0:20.1	Every couple of years, not because I have to, because I want to, and decide to sit down and write a book.
0:30.9	You know, books or whether you use the audio version or what have you, they last long beyond a radio show or a TV show or podcast or any of the sort.
0:46.8	They just do.
0:50.0	And a book provides an opportunity for the writer to express things and research things that it's impossible to do on a radio or television show.
1:02.0	Now, there's different things that you can't express and explain in real time on a radio and a television show or a podcast.
1:12.4	But when you write a book, if you write a good book,
1:15.8	if you write a book that's going to be lasting,
1:18.3	that's not just a quick hit and grift and so forth,
1:21.6	it doesn't work that way.
1:24.8	Writing a book is very solitary.
1:31.3	And I've told you before, when I write a book, I think of you. That is, what you might be interested in, what I feel maybe you should know.

1:41.3	Now everybody's brain is complicated.
1:47.2	It kicks into gear one way when you're at home and you're relaxed,
