Sobre este episodio
On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson warns of a "point of no return" for city finances amid a $1.1 billion 2026 deficit, pushing for tax hikes like a millionaire tax, corporate head tax and wants progressive revenue options. In On Power, it explains that the progressive movement aims to fundamentally transform America and Western democracies by centralizing government power, diminishing individual freedoms, and reengineering society through soft negative power. Johnson's progressive tax hikes reflects a drive to expand centralized governmental authority, which will erode economic freedoms and individual autonomy in pursuit of societal reengineering. This is what NYC can look forward to if Zohran Mamdani gets elected. Mandami repeatedly trashes America, failed to assimilate, and acting as a revolutionary against the country since his teenage arrival. His Marxist, Islamist, and Jew-hating ideologies echo terrorist lines. Also, On Power describes authoritarian democracy as a gradual slide from democracy into authoritarianism, where power centralizes—often in unelected branches like the judiciary or administrative state, or through excessive executive/legislative dominance—marginalizing citizens. It employs authoritarian tactics softly at first, justifying tyrannical laws or flawed processes simply because they follow legal forms, prioritizing legality over justice or morality. This has permeated Western society, embedding ideas like Marxism unconsciously, as noted by Ludwig von Mises. Later, federalizing Washington D.C. is constitutionally allowed and necessary because local rule has failed amid out-of-control crime like murders and carjackings. D.C. is an overwhelmingly Democrat one-party city that doesn't protect people, despite being the nation's capital where elected officials, staff, judges, and bureaucrats must work.
