On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the sky will not fall if there's a government shutdown. The government was shut down over 20 times since 1974 and the nation survived. A shutdown does draw a line on what they call "discretionary spending" -- the government itself calls it non-essential spending -- much of which, but not all, funds ideologically driven projects. The government never really shuts down; indeed, when there is a so-called government shutdown, about 17% of the government actually shuts down. The Republicans need to take a stand somewhere. At least it'll be a beginning. And they should explain to the people that the Democrats (and too many of their fellow Republicans) spend, borrow, and steal like pirates, which will bankrupt the country for their children and grandchildren, and further drive up inflation, including the cost of food, clothing, and energy, destroy the value of their paychecks and pension checks, eventually collapse the government altogether, and that this drug-like spending addiction must be broken before it's too late, which it already may be. Later, the Wall Street Journal and the NY Times are now writing about President Biden’s ‘diminished’ state. It’s sickening that they write this after the election. Biden’s staff ran the county - as they do now. Historians will look back on this and condemn us. Kamala Harris, Biden’s cabinet, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the media lied to us when we all knew the truth. The NY Times is the same news organization that covered up the Holocaust, so covering for Biden was easy for them. Also, Democrats and their media are trying to silence Elon Musk by claiming he is president, or he is in charge, etc., in hopes of creating tension and a wedge between Musk and President-Elect Trump. It won't work. Nobody doubts Trump is president-elect and the man in charge, and nobody doubts Musk will voice his personal opinion. Finally, more than half a million Venezuelans have entered the US illegally since Biden took office in January 2021. This brought the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua into American cities. Biden imported terrorists and murderers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
