11/12/26 - The Democrats' Plan Is Worse Than You Think

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the debate over the so-called Iran war is not between isolationists and neoconservatives. Instead, it is between isolationists and Jacksonians, the Reaganites and MAGA Trumpites who go in, take care of business and get out without heavy ground commitments or forever wars, and who are not isolationists. President Trump has never been an isolationist. Isolationists have always been the fringe, and a president in a world full of hostile nations cannot be one, because protecting the country is the job's top priority. The irony is isolationists who claim to be neocons actually sound more like modern Democrats in being Marxists, Islamist and anti-Israel.  Also, populism is not conservatism, or constitutionalism or but the heart of Marxism and socialism, because it claims to act in the name of the people even when the people don't go along. The Constitution rejects populism, which is mobocracy, and that's why only the House of Representatives is directly elected. America is a republic, not a democracy, so unalienable rights such as property, due process, your home, and your pension belong to you and are never up for a majority vote. Later, Gov Ron DeSantis is Reagan-esque in his beliefs and his approach won the day last Tuesday in Florida, proof that conservative policies work and are popular even against a massive blue wave. Reagan's foreign policy was not isolationist, and he fought off a horrendous recession inherited from Carter, with interest rates at 21% compared with about 3.4% today, while the media tried to destroy him with images of gas lines and homeless shelters and called him a warmonger. Much of Trump's foreign policy is peace through strength in the Reagan mold, while the policy urged by J.D. Vance and his allies has never been Republican or conservative but resembles a radical Democrat policy. Finally, Chris Rufo calls in to discuss his new investigation. Renteria Vineyard Management, the company managing Gavin Newsom's PlumpJack-owned Oso Vineyard in Napa, has a long history of employing illegal immigrants. Newsom kept his stake in PlumpJack, which owns more than 400 acres in Napa, when he became governor, and he and his wife reported at least $11 million in income from 2019 to 2024, mostly from wineries, restaurants and investments. The reporters found no H-2A visa filings by RVM or PlumpJack after 2023, which suggests RVM hires local workers.
