Mark Levin’s "Liberty and Tyranny" made the most persuasive case for conservatism and against statism in a generation. In this most crucial time, this leading conservative thinker explores the psychology, motivations, and history of the utopian movement, its architects, and its modern day disciples – and how the individual and American society are being devoured by it.

Sean kicked off Thursday's show by discussing the hubbub surrounding Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's "intense" encounter with Obama yesterday. Brewer greeted the president as he arrived off Air Force One, as governors often do when the president visits a state, and handed him a letter that she described as a "welcome" note to the state, and an invitation to talk about a comeback for her state. According to several reports, Obama immediately took umbrage about a book Brewer had written and was upset by the way he was portrayed. "President 'cry baby' Obama starts whining about something she wrote in her book," Sean exclaimed. "I mean, this is nuts! Aww, she hurt his little feelings," Sean said sarcastically.

"It's a sad time for this country," Donald Trump said joining Sean on the NewsMaker Hotline.
