Mark Levin: The Illegitimacy of an Autopen Presidency and the Loss of the Mainstream Democrat Party

Peloni

On Sunday’s show, Mark opens with a detailed discussion and explanation of the authority of the president and the circumstances under which that authority can be used to transform congressional legislation into law.

In his second segment, Mark interviews Newt Gingrich and discusses the issue of the president’s involvement and competence in signing legislation.  They also discuss the importance of identifying the ideologies behind candidates such as Mamdani correctly.  Gingrich relates research which shows that the weakest positions in American politics is Big Govt Socialism, and that identifying Mamdani as being just a socialist fails to characterize him properly, as his entire agenda is focused upon the expansion of govt towards achieving his socialist goals.  From govt grocery stores, to govt housing his focus is on govt expansion, so describing him as just a socialist misses the greater focus of Mamdani’s vision for NYC.  He also notes that this is not just taking place in NY or California, but is present all across the US, as the Democratic party has almost entirely been eclipsed by Big Govt Socialist candidates.

In his third segment, Mark talks with Mark Penn, WSJ Columnist, about the move to the extreme Left by the Democratic party.  Penn explains that the Democratic leadership believes that this is how the Democrats can return to power.  Penn, speaking as an old time moderate Democrat, notes that this is the time for the current moderate Democrats to come out and emphasize their lack of support for the radical views of pro-Islamism and radical socialism to maintain support in the country, but in fact they are doing the opposite and their poll numbers are being crushed as a result of their failure to do so.  Penn castigates the Democrats, citing Sen. Fetterman as possibly the only Democrat with the strength and independence to speak out against the rising tide of radicals in his party.  Penn recall that in 1972  and in 1984 the Democrats fell to having only support in one state, and that this might be what is needed to reform the party.  He concludes that the only way forward for the Democratic party is to take a stand against the standards of socialism and  antisemitism.  Penn explains that a major factor underlying this move to the far left among Democrats is the lack of turn out during the election season where 20% of the people showing up at the polls is considered to be a large turnout.  Strategically manipulating the system from within by far left activists, using inconvenient dates, and rank choice voting, primary voting has become more similar to caucuses, limiting the broad representative turnout of American voters during primary voting.
