On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, claims from some on the fringes of the conservative movement—that younger people today face uniquely hard times due to student debt, homeownership barriers, and inflation driven by the war with Iran—are inaccurate and sound like leftist or socialist talking points. There have been far greater hardships faced by prior generations: the Great Depression’s 25% unemployment, widespread business failures, and near-economic collapse, followed by World War II’s draft of 16 million Americans with over 600,000 casualties under brutal conditions. Young people today simply do not have it as hard as those of 50–80 years ago - they simply don't. Later, Hasan Piker represents a spreading poison that threatens the country unless named, confronted, and defeated. Democrats must abandon the reflexive party, party, party loyalty rooted in family tradition or anti-Republican sentiment; continuing to vote Democrat today means supporting and empowering those taking over the party, which ultimately destroys themselves. Independent thinking is essential. Meanwhile, it is astonishing how long birthright citizenship has continued, with the United States handing out citizenship like lollipops, producing figures such as Piker. Enemy governments like Communist China promote thousands of such births so the children can return as citizens able to work in sensitive technology, military, government, and Pentagon positions without detectable background issues, a practice that must end even as the president tries to stop it without Supreme Court help and the administration must do far more to halt the influx of Islamists, imams, and so-called scholars from countries that cannot be properly vetted. Also, Iran continues a campaign of brutal hangings of protesters arrested during the January uprising in order to crush any future resistance. The only way to end this is from within by arming the Iranian people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
