On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the core difference between conservatives and the modern left lies in their view of the Declaration of Independence, which is a unique, revolutionary document grounded in eternal truths and God-given unalienable rights. The concept of power, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, is central to the founding of the United States, uniquely vesting sovereignty in the people rather than the government. This power establishes individuals and society—"we the people"—as the ultimate sovereign authority. The nation's structure requires the consent of the governed while protecting individual rights. The left fundamentally rejects the foundational principles of the United States, particularly those rooted in Judeo-Christian values and the Declaration of Independence. Woodrow Wilson was a key figure who dismissed the Declaration's emphasis on unalienable rights, natural law, and divine sovereignty, viewing them as outdated and mystical. This rejection contrasts sharply with the founders' vision of individual and collective sovereignty, which Democrats oppose in favor of a more progressive, secular framework. Later, Douglas Murray calls in to explain that the recent killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., reflects how anti-Israel propaganda, fueled by groups like Qatar and the Iranian Revolutionary Government, is inciting Americans to commit antisemitic violence. This incident is part of a broader wave of antisemitism driven by false narratives about Israel's actions in Gaza, leading to increased violence against Jews. Also, why are federal judges are involved in decisions regarding federal funding for colleges and universities, national security, and immigration policies, which should be handled by the president and the administration. Judges should dismiss such cases, explaining that they lack jurisdiction. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What if America's founders never intended to separate God from government? Exploring George Washington's personal prayer journal reveals a startling truth that challenges everything modern education teaches about our nation's founding.Jesse Cope takes us on a profound journey through Washington's Monday morning prayers, where the father of our country wrote: "Wash away my sins in the immaculate blood of the Lamb and purge my heart by the Holy Spirit." These words aren't from a private citizen merely practicing his personal faith—they're from the man who would shape a nation. How could Washington create a secular government while personally begging God to "direct my thoughts, words and work"?The episode weaves together three crucial threads of American identity: personal faith practices, the sanctity of marriage, and the Christian foundations of our republic. Through an examination of Matthew 3, we see how John the Baptist's simple lifestyle challenges our modern discontent. We're prompted to consider whether we're truly grateful for God's provision or constantly demanding more than He's already blessed us with.Perhaps most provocative is the exploration of liberty's true source. Our founders understood a paradox many have forgotten: while individuals must have freedom to choose their faith, liberty itself cannot survive without Christian principles guiding the nation. As former Speaker of the House Robert Winthrop declared: "Men must necessarily be controlled either by a power within them or a power without them, either by the Word of God or by the strong arm of man, either by the Bible or by the bayonet."This isn't just history—it's a roadmap for reclaiming America's soul. When we understand that our greatest threats aren't merely political but spiritual forces opposing Christ, we gain clarity about what's truly at stake. Join this journey of rediscovery and consider what role your faith might play in America's future.What daily practices help you connect with God? Have you considered how your personal faith impacts not just your life but your nation's destiny?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Invest Like the Best Key Takeaways Knowledge, money, and power are connecting in ways that we have not seen for the last 500 years “This moment is probably the most interesting moment of the last 100 years in terms of the opportunity set that is going to come from it.” – Micky Malka There is no winning and losing if you are playing an infinite game; once you are ahead, you have to change the rules of the game so that you will fall behindThe game is better played when you are trying to get ahead and not when you are ahead and trying to prevent people from passing you Every time money becomes better, people live better lives Burn the bridge that got you here; whatever got you here will not get you to the next phase Be more concentrated and have more conviction Life and business principles from Micky Malka:1. Never forget where you came from 2. Fewer decisions is best 3. Be genuine to yourself and those around you How to build a strong team: Instead of identifying a job title and then looking for a person to fill it, just look for amazing people that you want to work with, then hire them We will need streaming data and streaming money to enable automated services; people who understand both of these fields can build paradigm-shifting technologies Returns are an output metric; focus on the input and let the output take care of itself How to create magical outputs: (1) Create a team that is passionate about meeting others, engaging, and learning, and (2) Ensure that the inputs to the team's machine will make the world better Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest today is Micky Malka.
