…it’s relevant to this election because the only thing that really stands between us and this ultimate tyranny is the people. It’s not the politicians, it’s us. We have to decide how we want to live.

Last night on Hannity, talk show host Mark Levin joined Sean to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia, The Making of America,” and also weighed in on what he says is a GOP race to the presidential nomination that is all but set in stone…
