Radicalism of the democrat party, and they say enough is enough. And so, of course, both parties turn on the tea party and attack it, as do the media. Which is to be expected. This is a washingtoncentric mentality versus the people. Thats exactly why i wrote the liberty amendments. And the whole state of the convention process is to bypass the federal bure rack si, is to bypass the federal courts exactly as the framers intended at the constitutional convention. Every single one of them who attended voted for article very so that we v so that we, the people, can at least make an effort to take our republic back. Thats not to say every state legislatures great. Not too far or from here you have maryland. Thats a disaster. Youve got california, illinois i get it. Theres a lot of disastrous, dark blue state legislatures out there. But a lot of the state legislatures are good or more positive. And, you know, if we can get a movement going, and i think its starting but time will tell, and i feel that the worse things get in this country, the more likely this movement will pick up steam whether its in two years or 25 years. I have no way of knowing. The fact of the matter is, the only serious recourse to whats going on today, it just is, and as i say in the last chapter of the the liberty amendments, even the most intelligent, politicallymuscular conservative whos elected president , and god knows i want one, cannot reverse whats going on in this country today. Can slow it down, as reagan did, can try and pull some of it back as reagan did, but reagan leaves office, george h. W. Bush comes in, he essentially denounces the reagan agenda, and off we go again with the fdr model. So if people are serious about this, they should turn to the framers of the constitution and look at article v where george mason said should congress become repressive, hes your recourse. Host so if youre living in kentucky, would you support Mitch Mcconnell in the primary and or the general . Guest i couldnt support Mitch Mcconnell, not that hes not necessarily a nice person or so forth, but hes an ineffective republican leader. Hes an ineffective senator, in my personal view. That whole immigration bill that went through the senate he sat back, he didnt take a lead in trying to fight it, then he shows up and votes against it. This whole notion of the president having the power, ins is sense, to Veto Congress should congress decide not to raise the debt ceiling, Mitch Mcconnell came up with that idea and said it should be temporary, of course. Nothings temporary. Not only that, congress doesnt have the constitutional power, the power of the purse, to anybody, a president , an entity, anything of the sort. And so, you know, i remember when he fought mccainfeingold and was standing up for the first amendment, and i was very proud of him. I really was. But thats the first and last thing that i can remember. So, no, i wouldnt personally vote for him. Host len is calling from cedar hurst, youre on booktv with mark levin. Conclude hi. Caller hi. I think that mark would probably call me a kook along with that first caller. I think the persons that she was referring to were the Koch Brothers, amongst most. You know . The Koch Brothers are the ones that fund the Heritage Foundation which pays for half of this guys commercials, and theyre the ones that fund other organizations that buy his books that create them as bestsellers, and then they give them away because nobody would really want to spend the money on them. [laughter] and the Koch Brothers are the people who pay for the buses that take the Tea Party People to their rallies because they really and they also now are paying the people who organize, who hand out the leaflets, people who dont necessarily even know that theyre being paid for by the Koch Brothers in order to get people to rallies. Which, of course, for white, older people is a very easy thing to rally against. Host so, len, all that said, whats wrong with that . Is that, is that wrong that they, you know, if thats the case . Caller lets talk about tyranny. I mean, basically simply. Basically, what mr. Levin is arguing about is that the tyranny comes from people organizing to decide that while in the preamble it says that we should be promoting the
