WABC Host Mark Levin joins his brethren Sid to discuss his new bestselling book On Power, while warning about the dangers of authoritarianism in American politics — especially from the modern Democratic Party. Levin slams NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, calling him a “Marxist Islamist†backed by radical elements, and criticizes Democrats like Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries for failing to condemn anti-Semitism. He emphasizes the need to fight for NYC’s future, not surrender it to extremist ideology. Levin then discusses America’s founding values, school choice, capitalism, and his belief that Democrats seek centralized, negative power at the expense of individual freedom. He reflects on Jewish identity, defends Israel, and speaks out against media voices he sees as harmful — including Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. Throughout, Levin urges listeners to resist socialism and use their voices to preserve liberty.
