Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College now and it's one hundred and seventy fifth year. Hillsdale is a truly independent institution where learning is prized and intellectual enthusiasm is valued. Thank you for listening and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship is here.

Now, broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we once again made contact with our leader, Mark. Mark Levin, our numbers, eight seven seven three eight one three eight one one eight seven seven three eight one three eight one one. By the way, is anybody ever seen Anthony Fauci with a mask on, you know, other than at the stadium when it was off hanging from his ear?

Has anyone actually ever seen him wearing a mask? Honestly, I haven't. Maybe there's a few rare occasions when he was putting on a show, but all over TV he's not wearing a mask unless he's wearing a Falchi mask. And Foushee be wearing a foushee mask, Mr. Producer. All right, I want to address some of these impeachment issues in a way that you haven't heard yet. Why? Because I'm trained in this field of practice, in this field.

I've studied this field my entire life since I was a teenager.

Since I was a teenager.

Chuck Cooper, who was the assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel at one point and at one point was a friend of mine, no longer a founding member and chairman of Cooper and Kirk p.l.c..

I guess I worried about a lawsuit there anyway. You may recall he was John Bolton's attorney and now he is effectively Joe Biden's attorney and the attorney for the Democrat. And so on the eve. Of the fraudulent phony rogue Senate impeachment trial. Chuck Cooper writes a piece in The Wall Street Journal. And of course, The New York Times is so impressed now with Cooper, who they used to detest, just like King Singer, who they used to detest, and Liz Cheney, who they used to detest, and Romney who's they used to detest, you understand?

That they reported on it. They reported on what Chuck Schumer's troopers, yeah, Cooper's op ed in The Wall Street Journal. Well, let's see what our genius counsel had to say in The Wall Street Journal, shall we? During the impeachment of Bill Clinton, he writes, his defenders argue that his misconduct was ultimately private. I don't know, lying in front of a federal grand jury. And lying to a federal judge. I don't know if that's purely private, didn't rise to the level of an impeachable offense in the current impeachment, Donald Trump, that's a hard argument to make with a straight face since the then president's offenses, culminating in the siege of the Capitol, were obviously public and political.

What presidents offense's?

What are the offenses that he lists them, of course not. Of course, he does a ba ba ba ba head, we've got offenses that the president. Commit and commit any offences and not even no criminal offences. So Cooper doesn't go through the speech because he can't. The president's objection to the election that has nothing to do with what happened in the Capitol building. Any more than Russia collusion did with the Democrats, so here you go again, he's sort of the Liz Cheney of constitutional law now culminating in the siege of the Capitol, where obviously public and political.

So his defenders claim instead that it's unconstitutional for the Senate to try him now that he's no longer in office.

Seems to me, ladies and gentlemen, any sixth grader relatively literate in English and asked to read the impeachment clause of the Constitution would come to that conclusion. But not Chuck. Forty five Republican senators voted in favor of Senator Rand Paul's motion, challenging the Senate's jurisdiction to try Trump.

But scholarship on this question has matured substantially since that vote. And it has exposed the serious weakness of Mr. Paul's analysis. Oh, yes, it's evolved. With the times, I mean, literally over the course of hours. So far, Cooper hasn't said anything. Nothing of substance. Let's see when we get to it, the strongest argument against the Senate's authority to try a former officer relies on Article two, Section four of the Constitution.

Which provides the president, vice president and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery or other other high crimes and misdemeanors.

He says the trials opponents argue that because this provision requires the removal and because only incumbent officers can be removed, it follows that only incumbent officers can be impeached and tried.

Wow. Such obvious logic. Now, here we go, here we go with the pretzel. But the provision cuts against their interpretation, it simply establishes what is known in criminal law as a mandatory minimum punishment.

Huh? Are you all may not know this, but there was no. Federal criminal law or criminal code? When the Constitution was adopted and ratified and so what Cooper does, having spent his life railing against activist justices and judges, is he's become one now to justice or judge, thankfully. But an activist, he says that if incumbent office holder is convicted by a two thirds vote of the Senate, he's removed from office as a matter of law.

If removal were the only punishment that could be imposed, the argument against trying former officers would be compelling. But it isn't, he says. Article one, Section three authorizes the Senate to impose an optional punishment on conviction, disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States. So there's Cooper who just rewrote the Constitution. He just rewrote it. You know, it's interesting to me, and I'll get to the rest of it painful, but I will they use the word removal from office.

Removal from office, they didn't say if the official if he's not in office, if he's no longer in office. Its removal from office. Now, Chuck, if the state if the language in the impeachment clause of the Constitution said. That the Senate. May prevent. A former. Public official. Who's no longer in office from serving in office? That's one thing, but it doesn't say that these were a very, very bright man. They were looking at the Enlightenment, they were looking at Judeo-Christian history.

They were looking at Cicero and they were looking at Aristotle. They were looking at so many great Montesquieu and Locke and they they knew everything. But for Chuck, they didn't know how to write. Now, where is the historical evidence that time period, evidence anywhere, anywhere to support Chuck Cooper's proposition anywhere? I challenge Cooper now, I challenge McCarthy now I challenge them all. Where is your evidence for your interpretation of the impeachment clause? There is nothing.

No, none whatsoever, which is why they never talk about it. What do they say about this at the constitutional convention today that they say that you could. That she could try try. A president who's now a private citizen in the United States Senate. And then and that individual from ever running from off for office again. That is pretty draconian, and you would think if that were the case, since they spent three and a half months. Out of the five and a half months they were in Philadelphia debating the presidency, debating impeachment, constantly returning to it, you would think they would say something affirmative, something explicit.

They don't even hint at it. They're going to dance around it. Not a single delegate made the case. That the Senate that they were creating. What have the power to reach into the private sector to chase down a former official of the federal government, to put them on trial? And prevent them from ever serving again. And you can imagine why, because they at least oppose tyranny. Apparently not these guys and some challenged them all right now.

Where's your evidence for your position rather than your kind of squirrelly language? Again, the Constitution specifically uses the word removal. Removal. From office. And then the prohibition. From serving again. The Constitution does not say. That the Senate contrives somebody who's out of office. Out of office, not in office. And prevent them from serving again, it says removal from office. Now these guys pretend to be and I want I'm a textualist. You know, I'm I'm an originalist.

You know, when I read the Constitution, I'm trying to figure out what was intended back then. No, you're not. You're trying to figure out what you want to accomplish today. These never troopers dressed up as constitutional lawyers. I don't care if they're former federal prosecutors. I don't care if he was the head of the Office of Legal Counsel. I know these guys. I know what they know and I know what they don't know. I know what I know and I know what they don't know.

And when you read a piece like this in The Wall Street Journal. And you read it, and there's absolutely nothing substantive to support this guy's opinion. Then you have to ask yourself, why is it in here? Why is it in here? To push an agenda. Shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors. Why is Bill Clinton mentioned in this? So this this fails on multiple levels.

This is problematic on multiple levels. Number one, he doesn't list the offenses because there aren't any. Number two, he rewrites the impeachment clause. He rewrites same Peachment cloth. And as to that point, I'm trying to make the novel point that everybody is saying, look, it's removal and then I'm making the additional point. They did not say. If he's not in office, if he's retired, if he's in there, they said removal from office.

Impeachment is a punishment. You're charged and then tried. It's a punishment, not a criminal punishment, not a severe punishment. They made that abundantly clear to at the constitutional convention. Now, if I'm wrong, but I'm right. And Cooper's right, but he's wrong. Can you imagine how different America would have looked for over the last 200 years? What really angry, treacherous political parties chasing down former presidents of the United States concocting allegations. Putting them on trial in the United States Senate in order to prevent them from running again.

It's never happened. It's never happened and there's a reason for it, it's unconstitutional. Well, this is different, Mark. Donald Trump, excuse me. We've had periods in our history. Were former presidents have been hated, hated, hated. We've had very difficult periods in our history. Very difficult periods in our history. And yet no party and no Senate has ever lowered itself to do this. And when you have people like McCarthy and Cooper.

And others who are really become fringe on this issue, especially defending it. They are humiliating and degrading themselves. It's that simple, they have no no historical, substantive evidence whatsoever to support their position. And Chuck Cooper, if you have a list of offenses that the president committed, let's see him. Let's hear him. If you have any evidence, whatever in our history to support your interpretation, don't hand me some secretary of war. I'm not talking about that.

In a deal with some goofball, Ed, you're dealing with me. I'll be right back. Much love in. Are you worried about America's future times of trouble are full of reasons to despair, but those who built and preserved our country didn't despair. So to do our part, we need to draw on the books, the history and the ideas that gave our forefathers and mothers strength and inspiration. Hillsdale College was founded in 1844 to teach these very things, and it teaches them still today.

We can all study these things, all with Hillsdale College professors right in our homes through Hillsdale Free online courses, we can study the history of our civilization, the wisdom of ancient and Judeo-Christian philosophers, and the writings of Shakespeare and Mark Twain. We can reacquaint ourselves with our Constitution. We can learn how the Constitution has been undermined and more importantly, how it can be recovered. Friends, as we fight in defense of family, faith and freedom, let us draw on the best of the past with Hillsdale guidance that saved the greatest nation on Earth.

You know. I've explained the impeachment clause and removal for how long now, Mr. Producers', since before they tried to impeach the president, the United States behind this microphone on FOX with guests on live in TV.

It's in the brief. It's not an argument people were making two and a half, three weeks ago, they're making it now, but I'm trying to make a different point. Taking it to the next step. It's not simply what's in the Constitution, although that clearly is controlling, it's also what's not in the Constitution. What's not in the Constitution? Is any support for the position? That the pseudo constitutional scholars. Never trumpets are taking. The Constitution does not say what they wanted to say.

It doesn't say what they wanted to say. There's nothing self executing but an absurd argument. Utterly irrational. The Constitution does not say it was never said at the constitutional convention, it's not in the Federalist Papers, it's never been done to a former president, that is that you can ban a former president from office. Hold a Senate trial, even though you cannot remove him since he's not there, and then impose a punishment, a punishment while they're in the private sector to prevent them from ever running again.

There's nothing even close to that in the Constitution.

There's no wording in the Constitution, whatever that supports it. Period. I'll be right back. Are you worried about America's future times of trouble are full of reasons to despair, but those who built and preserved our country didn't despair. So to do our part, we need to draw on the books, the history and the ideas that gave our forefathers and mothers strength and inspiration.

Dubba Love in the show live at National at eight seven seven three eight one three eight one one.

And it's an amazing thing. What do we have, 5000 National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., Mr..

We're 24, rolling through Washington, D.C. this weekend, threatening to burn down the city. Threatening shop owners, threatening people who are eating in restaurants, and there's the Guardsmen. Now that the mayor of Washington, D.C., a left wing kook, an incompetent buffoon. Did she ask the National Guard to protect the city from Antifa? No. Democrats don't do that. Democrats don't do that. Are they inciting, Jake Tapper? Are they inciting Chuck Cooper?

They're directly threatening to burn down the nation's capital. It's as if somebody sneezed. No big deal, no big deal. Now let's talk about the specifics. This is really. The first trial I'm aware of where there is no. Specific allegation. There's emotions, there's political statements, and then we hear the genius's, it's a political process. Is that what the Constitution says? It's a political process. Why do they spend so much time on this?

Now, this is a governing process. This is a constitutional process with political elements, no doubt. But if it's simply a political process, is what the the pseudo scholars like to say, then there's no point in having any process. Just bring out the guillotine over. What's with the two thirds calling it a trial, supposed to have the chief justice of the United States? It's just political. Why is the chief justice of the United States supposed to be there when a president is tried, if it's just political?

Why are the senators supposed to shut their mouths and sit down if it's just political? Because it's not just political. Again. This is the fallback position for people who don't know what the hell they're talking about, but they're paid to talk anyway. Where are the specific detailed allegations, I can't find them in the charge against the president. Where are the specific detailed allegations of the president? Not broad generalizations, not anger over his speech, not projection by Liz Cheney.

Where are the specific details? With whom did he collaborate? Which individuals, which organizations, how did he do it? How do they get their weapons if they had weapons? Oh, Mark. President didn't do any of that. Well, what specific words did he use during his, oh, the word fight? That's going to be rammed up there, took us tomorrow, I'm sure, by the president's lawyers. So the word fight now. The word fight.

Means incitement to insurrection. Well, you know, we need to do now, Mr. Producer, take some crime tape and rap the Capitol building, because every one of those morons and crackpots in the Capitol building have talked about fighting. Let's fight them. Let's fight them. Fight them. You're inciting our insurrection. And while we're at it, we might as well round up any individual who challenge the 2016 election because now challenging elections. His incitement to insurrection, right, Chuck Cooper?

Oh, yes, yes. It's inciting the mob. Now, how do we know the mob wasn't incited? I've said this over and over again, how do we know the mob wasn't incited by CNN? By Nancy Pelosi calling law enforcement storm troopers, oh, well, if Nancy thinks federal law enforcement, storm troopers, then we can storm the Capitol building. Who cares about. Right, right. Not only that, her sidekick, James Clapper, the number three, he said they're storm troopers to.

In fact, the Democrat Party, a conga line like the Rockets there, they are dancing around saying Trump was instigating Black Lives Matter and Antifa to get violent, to loot, to commit arson, to bring on whatever. Because he dared to use law enforcement to try and stop them. How do we know? That the Democrat Party, that The Washington Post, that The New York Times, that the news media. How do we know they weren't ones?

How do we know the Lincoln Project and all the others, whether outlandish, over-the-top, vicious, hate their vile poison that they put out every day? How do we know they didn't let loose one of the nuts? How do we know Bernie Sanders did? Apparently, he did it before. Well, America is really bared its racist al Qaeda phobia, its unequal, they're going to take your health care, they're going to take your home from you, they're going to do that.

A ranting, not old read on a soapbox and he almost gets nominated by the Democrat Party. How do we know he isn't responsible for inciting people? We know he did it once. Oh, no, no, not allowed to say that. No, no, he didn't. I'm sorry. No, no, he didn't. Please. Please. And now we have the word that Jake Tapper's learned. It's more than three. More than three letters, but Jacobs, memorize this word, it's called insurrectionists.

Insurrectionist, oh, insurrectionist. The insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol building. Why are they insurrections, because they tried to stop our constitutional government. I see. But why aren't you calling them insurrectionist when they attacked the White House? Or attack the people on the last night of the Republican convention. Or attacked a federal courthouse. Or have in their mission statement, the overthrowing the United States government. Because they're Marxists, anarchists, and they they committed over a billion dollars in damage.

Attacked the cops, actually harmed and killed some people. How come those people aren't insurrection?

No, no, no, no. They're mostly peaceful and it's a new civil rights movement. Oh. I get it now. Insurrectionist. Let's listen to that for a second insurrectionist, let's deal with that. Who are the insurrectionist? Exactly who are they? What have the media done to find these insurrectionists, to identify them, the groups, the individuals who are the insurrectionists? Where are they, where are they, where are these groups, the insurrectionist, they don't do it now.

Why don't they do that, Mr. Anderson? Why don't they do that? America. Because they really don't care about those people. They're using the word insurrectionists. And the attack on the Capitol on January 6th. To try and destroy the character and reputations. Of tens of millions of Americans. Who despise them? And the Democrat Party. And what they've done to this country, what they tried to do to President Trump. This is what they're doing.

And they're going to use the term insurrectionists as long as they can, which means forever. It is an attack on you. Make no mistake about it, you, the law abiding, taxpaying, hard working American who make this country work. It's an attack on you. In other words, it's better to smear everyone. Then be specific about whom they're speaking about, and by the way, this is part of the critical race theory movement to. When we say white supremacists are white privilege or systemic racism, we're not even talking about the Klan, they write, we're not even talking about the neo-Nazis, they write.

We're talking about the white dominant culture, that white dominant culture. That's what we're talking about. They've written about this. I know, I read it. It's like Payton reading Rommel's military strategy, I have read their. Ideological and political strategy, they're telling us what they do. And so it is being regurgitated and burped up by the media drones. By the media force. Repeating the same thing. And so you hear these hosts, you hear their guests very carefully chosen.

To continue to push that narrative. Jake Tapper did it on the Sunday show. Jake Tapper is a clown. He's also a moron, but he's a clown. Anybody who dares to challenge. The results of this past election. Needs to be held accountable. Says Jake Tapper, who the hell's Jake Tapper? Jake Tapper is a nobody. He's a left wing Democrat. He was given a platform. By AT&T and CNN. Otherwise, you would dismiss him as another Starbucks moron sitting in the corner, snorting up his latte, sitting there on his laptop, writing stupid things to himself.

Jake Tapper hasn't accomplished anything, he's never said anything profound, you said you have said things that are profoundly stupid, so it's better to smear everybody.

You see the insurrectionists insurrectionists. Who carries more weapons? And TFN, Black Lives Matter or these insurrectionists. Now, it's interesting because the media want to have it both ways.

They want to have it both ways. If these. Relative, few out of hundreds of thousands of individuals, there's no defending this and I have never defended and I never will. That's our capital building, too, and these bastards defiled it. Got it. I agree. And the cops, the attack on the cops, it's grotesque if you believe. As we believe. For the left in the media, they didn't have a problem with the attack on the cops until.

January six, before that, it was evidence that the cops are racist systemically. Racist and we have to defund them, we have to handcuff them. We got it, you know, this, that and the other.

It's funny you don't hear about that anymore. But what if the relative handful of individuals who charge that Capitol building? We're armed. Wouldn't that cut against, again, the Liz Cheney's and the Chuck Coopers and the Adam King zingers and the the Ben Sassy's and the Mitt Romney's, wouldn't that cut against the whole left wing Democrat media propaganda machine?

I mean, they came to a peaceful protest to listen to the president, armed to the teeth. Mr. Producer in America, do you remember early on when I said, I have never seen people attempt to attend a Trump rally wearing gas masks and helmets and backpacks with hammers and stuff? And I remember I said that. Remember that American? Some of them did. When we come back, I will underscore a point I made earlier with the help of our friend John Solomon in Just the News.

We'll be right back.

Much love in. Are you worried about America's future times of trouble are full of reasons to despair, but those who built and preserved our country didn't despair. So to do our part, we need to draw on the books, the history and the ideas that gave our forefathers and mothers strength and inspiration. Hillsdale College was founded in 1844 to teach these very things, and it teaches them still today. We can all study these things, all with Hillsdale College professors right in our homes through Hillsdale Free online courses, we can study the history of our civilization, the wisdom of ancient and Judeo-Christian philosophers, and the writings of Shakespeare and Mark Twain.

We can reacquaint ourselves with our Constitution. We can learn how the Constitution has been undermined and more importantly, how it can be recovered. Friends, as we fight in defense of family, faith and freedom, let us draw on the best of the past with Hillsdale guidance that saved the greatest nation on Earth. Again, learning today at Lhevinne for Hillsdale Dotcom. That's leavin for Hillsdale Dotcom in for Hillsdale Dotcom.

By the way, my beautiful wife, Julie, wrote a brilliant piece on the issue of impeachment, we will link to it on my Web site because parlor's still not up. We quit Twitter, we quit Facebook.

People saying, hey, can you promote this and link it? No, I can't. But thanks for asking. Go to Mark Levine, show dotcom, Mark Levin Show dot com. It'll be up there shortly if it's not up there now. Now, I don't want have time in this short segment at the end of the first hour to complete this. So stick with us. I'm marching through the left, marching through the Senate, marching through the media and marching through the other reprobates malcontents and miscreants like Sherman through Atlanta and Georgia.

Days before former President Trump's impeachment trial begins, right, Solomon? Newly filed federal charges and by the way, you know, any reporter could have found the sub, but they don't want to.

Instead, they want to sit there. Like Jake Tapper. As if he's sitting on a loaf of. Never mind. Compelling evidence that the accused perpetrators of the capital riots preplan their attack days and weeks in advance in plain sight of an FBI that vowed to be vigilant to extremist threats. So Washington is covering up and the Democrats are using this as an opportunity to try and destroy half the country, doesn't FBI affidavit supporting charges against more than 200 defendants, show writers engaged in advance planning on social media sites, by the way, you know it with their favorite social media site was for planning violence.

Mr. Producer. Facebook. The planning included training casing sites, identifying commanders on the scene and requests for donations of cash as well as combat and communication gear. Oh, wow, that Trump speech must have really gotten them worked up, don't you think? More than a half dozen of the suspects are now charged with conspiracy to commit violence for actions predating the January six riots, the early actions identified in court documents date back to November, with planning and rhetoric accelerated after Christmas.

Court records show that growing body of evidence raises questions about whether the FBI and other security agencies acted proactively enough to thwart the violence.

I would vote they didn't. It also undercuts the House Democrats impeachment claim, supported by 10 Republicans, that Trump speech spontaneously incited the riots. Legal experts told just the news. I would hope. That those 10 Republicans and hopefully even some Democrats would say, as we now look at the timelines that media, The New York Times, The Washington Post and all the reporting on here is exactly at the facts, said Ken Starr, the former federal appeals judge, solicitor general, Whitewater, independent counsel.

House lawmakers made a huge, colossal blunder, Starr said, who was a member of the defense team for Trump's first Senate impeachment trial. So walk back and apologize to the former president, apologize to the American people that I never should have voted in favor of this without the benefit of all the facts. I rushed to judgment. Yeah, but but, you know, Chuck Cooper thinks that's OK. All these offenses were apparently committed. Nobody's ever going to want Chuck on their jury.

I don't think I've ever want him defending me. Trump's lawyers are planning to argue the president's speech did not, in fact, incite violence, but rather called for a peaceful protest and was protected by the First Amendment. They're also preparing a video montage showing Democrats making comments encouraging violence dating to last summer's BLM protests. George Washington University legal scholar Jonathan Turley, a Democrat who has defended Trump on impeachment issues, argued in a column published Sunday in the Hill newspaper that the impeachment claims do not meet the legal standard of incitement.

They don't meet any standard of incitement. None. It's much easier to claim easy prosecutions than to prosecute such made for television charges, Turley wrote, I don't fault these experts for speculating about such a case, but many claim that prosecution B b would be relatively simple. That is just not true. All right. More stay with me.

We're making a very comprehensive case and we need to go beyond the first hour.

Stick with me. I'll be right back. From the Westwood One podcast network. He's here he's here now broadcasting from the underground command post, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader. Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number eight seven seven three eight one three eight one one eight seven seven three eight one three eight one one. As you can tell, what I'm doing here is trying to build the case against the Democrats, against the Democrats in the Senate, against the Democrats in the House.

Against what the media are doing against one the never trump laws are doing against what the legal analysts are doing, because the president of the United States is a former president of the United States, is an innocent man. And in addition to being an innocent man, the questions should be for the Democrats in the Senate, not for the ex-president. The doubters should be focused on what they're doing. It is a historical, it is a traditional. And it is it is clearly a breakout from our constitutional box.

And to see people giving aid and comfort to this. Is shocking, but their names will forever go down, not in history, because history will ignore them as well. It should, but forever go down with the ship of the left. Now, let us continue with the excellent John Solomon piece, which builds on these past New York Times The Washington Post stories. Which I had to report because they had information leaked to them about all the organizing that took place prior to.

The president's speech. The problem is free speech. Right, Turley, the remarks of president last month, Trump would not satisfy the test and landmark free speech case, Brandenburg versus Ohio, when the Supreme Court said advocacy of the use of force or law violation is protected unless it's imminent. Now, I'm going to. Say something that I hope is not misinterpreted. The president's not being prosecuted. In a court of criminal law. Most of this doesn't matter.

Most of this doesn't matter, and I have nothing but the highest regard for Professor Turley. The president is being tried. By a Senate does not have jurisdiction. On a single charge that does not have any basis, in fact. Without any due process whatsoever, which has been the tradition of every single impeachment in the past. This is why we have raised and Jetstar has raised the issue of a bill of attainder. A bill of attainder is, in this case, a legislative body or the Senate.

Coming up with a penalty that it seeks to apply against one individual. Against a citizen. And that is unconstitutional. Why? Because the colonists, the founders of this country. Suffered from these bills. That would be issued by parliament. Against some of the leading figures in the revolutionary movement and even before. And say they knew how unjust that was. So the Constitution specifically outlaws bills of attainder. And that's exactly what this is, and I noticed Chuck Schumer, Chuck Chuck Schumer made it pretty close.

Chuck Cooperton didn't address that either. And so this isn't a criminal case or a criminal case, the president, the United States would have a bevy of protections. It's not a constitutional case, it's not a political case. It's the French Revolution. We've talked about this before. This is the French Revolution. The guillotines already set up none of the rest matters. I noticed one of the news networks did a poll and they found that. The majority of Americans.

Supported convicting the president. I thought. Wouldn't that news be great in the old days with the lynch mobs, Mr. Producer? Now, how many of you support pulling this guy out of jail and hanging from a tree? Oh, look at that. Look at the vote. Absolutely shocking. Beyond the First Amendment rights, Solomon, in just the news, the FBI's investigation provides growing evidence that the riot was not spontaneous but planned. For instance, last week, federal prosecutors filed an affidavit showing that two days after Christmas.

And anti-government activists named Ethan Nourredine in the state of Washington posted a message on his parler account as he planned to come to Washington for the January six Capitol protest emeny fundraising appeal to, quote, help us with safety, protective gear and communications equipment, unquote, according to FBI documents. Patman escalated the rhetoric as he prepared to come to the capital, suggesting violence was imminent. Let them remember the day they decided to make war with us. He allegedly wrote screenshots taken from a video show.

Nourredine and other proud boys dressed in tactical gear along with the phrase backed the yellow, which is a phrase commonly used to show support for the proud boys, said the FBI affidavit.

FBI affidavits filed against other defendants in the attack detail extensive fundraising efforts on popular and public Web sites like Go Fund Me and the Christian fundraising site give Sandigo, prompting a crackdown on those sites. One of the cases in which the FBI detailed the most extensive preplanning involves the conspiracy charges against Thomas Eric Caldwell, Donovan, Ray Croll and Jessica Marie Watkins. Evidence uncovered in the course of the investigation, Democrats, Democrats, yep, demonstrates that not only did Caldwell, Kraul, Watkins and others conspired to forcibly storm the U.S. Capitol on January six, twenty twenty one, they communicated with one another in advance of the encouraged and plan their attack.

The FBI affidavit state.

See, this all undermines. Paul undermines the impeachment, undermines the 10 Republicans. Undermines the five Republicans in the Senate, undermines the entire narrative. The FBI alleges intercepted audio from the January six attacks shows the three discussing sticking to a plan. We have a good group, Watkins' quoted as saying. And one of the transmissions were about 30, 40 of us. We're sticking together and sticking to the plan. That sounds spontaneous to you, ladies and gentlemen.

The affidavit also cites a pre-trial meeting at a Northern Virginia hotel in one Facebook message, Krul tells Caldwell, we'll probably call you tomorrow, mainly because I like to know what WTS plan is. You are the man, commander. The FBI also states the days before the recall will appear to refer to Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes in a Facebook message to group members in which he shared with me, talked about coordinating with activists from other states.

I don't know, Stewie has even gotten out his call to arms, but it's a little friggin late, Caldwell wrote. According to the FBI, this is one we're doing on our own. We will link up with a North Carolina crew. As the FBI uses open source social media to make its case against many of the accused perpetrators, questions are also arising about why the FBI didn't do more beforehand to thwart actors. We're talking about war, violence, combat.

When they got the Washington FBI officials, when pressed about whether agents were too complacent before the attacks, noted that an alert was sent January four. This is was in The New York Times to the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Washington, D.C., warning of possible violence. They also cited director Chris Reyes testimony in September to the House, and that is the Judiciary Committee, which he vowed vigilance against anti-government white supremacist activists, but warned the bureau often feels constrained by the line between the First Amendment and imminent violence.

And then. None of that was in Chuck Cooper's article today or yesterday, none of that is in the. House Democrats attack on President Trump because it works against their narrative. When we come back, I have in front of me a copy of a letter to the honorable Nancy Pelosi. I don't know what's so honorable about her with a copy to be Hoyer, Kevin McCarthy, Chuck Schumer. And Mitch McConnell from Steven Sunde, as you and the former chief of police, U.S. Capitol Police, there's a couple of passages in this letter that I want you to hear, too.

You will know more about this than any viewer of CNN, MSNBC, probably even Fox. You won't know more about this than any reader. The New York Times and The Washington Post. That Donald Trump is an innocent man. We have this kind of French Revolution going on in this country now. We have both the mob. What's a little different about this one, though, as I keep saying, is we have the mob and the monarchy and they're working together in the Democrat Party.

We have Biden. And then we have the mob in Congress and in the media. I'll be right back. Much love in. Now, you know why propagandists and the big liars, as Biden would call guys like Jake Tapper keep talking about the insurrectionists rather than telling us exactly who it is that they're calling insurrectionists, because to do that demonstrates.

That there was no spontaneous attack on the Capitol building.

That it was all organized somehow the FBI and others who did have a bead on it didn't pursue it, and you're going to hear more about what happened with leaders in Congress in a moment.

These are facts. This is why they cannot detail no specificity whatsoever in the allegations against the president. Why people, polemicists like Cooper write in The Wall Street Journal that the offences committed by the president, what offences committed by the president. It's just shocking. And so now the media narrative is all these people that they're insurrectionists, the Trump supporters are insurrection, these are the insurrectionists, these people armed up, they coordinated and they attacked the Capitol building, just like the lefties armed up, coordinated and attacked businesses and others and so forth and so on.

I will know they didn't shoot anybody, did they, Mr. Peters? I don't think so. That doesn't mean they get a pass. I'm just trying to figure all this out with the rest of you. And so in this letter to Evea Pelosi. On February 1st, a week ago. The former head of the Capitol Police writes on Monday, January four, I approach it, I approach the two sergeant of arms. Remember, they each report one to McConnell, one to Eva.

To request the assistance of the National Guard two days before. As I had no authority to do so without an emergency declaration by the Capitol Police Board. My regular interactions with the Capitol Police Board, the CPB, outside of our monthly meetings regarding law enforcement matters, were conducted with the House and Senate sergeant of arms, the two members of the board who have law enforcement experience. I first spoke with the House sergeant of arms to request the National Guard.

Mr. Irving stated that he was concerned about the optics and didn't feel that the intelligence supported it. All right. So this is the sergeant of arms appointed by Pelosi and who reports to Pelosi.

He referred me to the Senate sergeant of arms, who's currently the chair of this board to get his thoughts on the request. Now, the sergeant arms at the Senate at that time reported to McConnell. I then spoke to Mr. Stanger, the sergeant arms for the Senate, and again requested the National Guard, instead of approving the use of the National Guard, however, Mr Stinger suggested, I ask them how quickly we could get support if needed and to, quote, lean forward, unquote, in case we had to request assistance on January six.

So this is very important. I've been talking about this. So the two appointees, one of McConnell, one to Pelosi, when this man, two days before the head of the Capitol Police, urged them to use the National Guard, refused. Refused. And I keep asking, what did McConnell know and when did he know it? What did Pelosi know and when did she know it? And you'll notice there are two of the angriest people against Trump.

And I think one of the reasons is they're covering their own tracks. What did they know? These are their appointees, why won't the media ask them? Well, we know why that's a foolish question. Never mind later on in the letter. It's a long letter. The gentleman writes to Pelosi, In the days leading up to January six, we were briefed, listen to this. We briefed a number of members of Congress who had requested an advance briefing on our security plan and the permitted demonstration activity scheduled for January six.

Twenty twenty one.

The members that were briefed in advance included Chairman Blunt, who is a right hand man, and McConnell Chairperson Lofgren, a left wing kook, again a right hand woman for Pelosi, Chairman Ryan and Representative Waters.

We informed these members of the expectation of protests, current permitted First Amendment activity on Capitol grounds. Our response planning efforts and establish perimeter, as well as enhanced member security initiatives, such as increased checks on residences and the ability of the United States Capitol Police to respond off Capitol grounds to assist members safely getting to the capital if needed. Contrary to some allegations made to the media, I did not at any time misrepresent any facts to members of Congress. This was an accurate reporting of our intelligence and threat assessment at the time.

Now, on top of that, folks, because the NYPD, the greatest police force in the world, despite what's been done to those poor fellows and ladies. And the Norfolk FBI office. Told the Washington FBI office. Of the preplanning and the threat potential, the information was shared with the terrorism task force. That means all relevant local, state, regional and federal police and law enforcement authorities. And to this day, we don't know what they did with it, this is why Lindsey Graham keeps threatening.

You want to call witnesses? We'll call witnesses. What the hell happened here? Where was everybody on law enforcement? And we're not talking about the front line guys and gals. We know where they were. They were trying to protect the building. But where were the chiefs? Because we were monitoring the actions and demeanor of the crowd. Which at the time did not raise any concerns when we received word at 12, 52 p.m.. That a pipe bomb had been located at the Republican National Committee headquarters immediately adjacent to the Capitol grounds.

We responded immediately to coordinate and send resources to the scene, including a member, a number of officers, suspects and vehicles. At almost exactly the same time, we observed a large group of individuals approaching the west front of the Capitol. This is before the president finished his speech. Now, the kicker is the next paragraph. But since they only have 45 seconds, I can't do that until after the bottom of the hour, the kicker. Is the next paragraph.

I have this letter. It's a week old, I just saw it today, the media have this letter. The media have the information that John Solomon and his group at the Investigative know how to dig up with respect to some of these prosecutions in which federal prosecutors are indicating the preplanned efforts, the various groups involved, the coordination well in advance of the president speaking and they're sitting on it. They're censoring it. Because to do otherwise demonstrates that Donald Trump, once again is an innocent man and he didn't cite a damn thing.

Stay with me. I'll be right back. When my girlfriend was a kid, his teachers didn't like his snide sense of humor. Today, they still don't like it. Go Mark Levine now at age seven seven three eight one thirty eight.

And they also didn't like it when I used to shoot paperclips into the lights that were hanging down from the ceiling or throw a little clay balls at people and then turn around and not get caught.

But those were the early days. You know, I got better now. You'd wind up in Sing, Sing or something and know Mr. Producer.

Drag him off, drag him off, never to be seen again. Send him to G and Chinato.

Anyway, let us continue. Here's the killer paragraph. By the former head of the. Capitol Police. I just want to make sure I get his name correct, Mr. Sonder, as they listen to this. When the group arrived at the perimeter, that is the perimeter of the Capitol building before Trump finished his speech. They did not act like any group of protesters I had ever seen. Unlike other heated protests, these protesters did not simply congregate to angrily voice their grievances as soon as this group arrived at the perimeter.

They immediately began to fight the officers. It was immediately clear that their primary goal was to defeat our perimeter as quickly as possible and to get past the past the police line. This mob was like nothing I have seen in my law enforcement career, which is 30 years. The group consisted of thousands of well coordinated, well equipped violent criminals, they had weapons, chemical munitions, protective equipment, explosives and climbing gear. A number of them were wearing radio earpieces indicating a high level of coordination.

Now, Mr. Producer. Why isn't this receiving concentrated and repeated media attention? Because it gives the lie to what Liz Cheney put out. In her statement. And others on January 12th. In which he said much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we now know is enough. The president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the president.

The president could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There's never been a greater betrayal of a by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution. I will vote to impeach the president. This is. Contemptible even a week later. She had no facts, she had no evidence, and she didn't care. And the Republicans in the House with the support of Kevin McCarthy, voted to keep her in the number three position in the House.

The head of the conference where she messages for the Republicans, where she's supposed to be strategizing with the Republicans. One of 10 to vote to impeach and therefore remove a president who was already leaving office. In a rushed. Attack on Donald Trump without any due process whatsoever. This is why. You wait for facts. This is why you don't rush. On matters of this sort of thing, this is why you have hearings, you gather evidence and so forth and so on, the FBI would be called in.

What did they know and when did they know it? The former head of the Capitol Police, the two sergeants of arms, presumably Pelosi and McConnell, who know what when and you would have learned what.

If Donald Trump's speech had nothing to do with this. Nothing to do with it. When the group arrived at the perimeter, they did not act like any group of protesters I had ever seen because they weren't protesters.

Ladies and gentlemen. They were, Melissia. This is why Jake Tapper and the others call everybody insurrectionist. This is why Jake Tapper and the rest of the media have not dug into this to find out who these people are, what groups this is, why they haven't bothered going to the courthouses or at least going online and looking at the charging sheets against these individuals.

Because they don't want to change the narrative, it's about Trump and it's about tens of millions of his supporters and hundreds of thousands of people in the mall, but it's not about Trump and it's not about tens of millions of his supporters or the hundreds of thousands of people at the mall.

It's about these thugs. But they don't want it to be about these thugs, whether they be white supremacists or neo-Nazis or whatever they are, they don't want it to be about them. They want it to be about you. They want Trump to have incited an insurrection when he didn't. They want to keep using the word insurrection in a broad brush to smear us. And then they take it steps further. Conservatives groups being banned from this side of the other people who attended the protest, who had nothing to do with this, were not involved in any of these groups losing their jobs.

And then they take it yet another step. Ted Cruz must have incited an insurrection, Josh Hawley incited insurrection and insurrection, or to quote the late, great Chuck Schumer, insurrection.

One hundred and forty Republican members of the House incited an insurrection, talk radio incited an insurrection, Fox incited an insurrection. Everybody's inciting insurrections other than the the vain, narcissistic, egomaniacal, vile, poisonous, hate filled morons on the left. Whether they be in Congress. Our so-called reporters. Now, you know exactly what took place here, but not all the details, but exactly you have the. The knowledge that no viewer of CNN or MSNBC or CBS, NBC, ABC.

Or these clown morning shows like The Morning Joe. Scarpa hasn't figured out people are watching him. For the same reason people will look in the eye hole in a padded room, in an insane asylum and watch somebody bounce off padded walls. It's a sick form of entertainment. And so they watch the Scarbro. Effectively bouncing off padded walls and the conga line of schmucks that they bring on the show. This was preplanned radio earpieces and so forth and so on.

Chemical munitions, protective equipment, explosives, climbing gear. Spontaneous Liz Cheney. Are you an idiot? Yes, you are an idiot. You're an idiot. And then she goes home with Chris Wallace on the Sunday show, there's a combo for you. And she says, of course, she would do this. She's upholding a constitution, don't you know she's upholding the Constitution of the United States. It was a matter of conscience for her. She had to stand up for the Constitution.

Really? She's standing up for the Constitution, ladies and gentlemen. Now, that's not to. Self aggrandizing. Liz Cheney standing up for the Constitution. Everybody else is not U.S.. She's standing with Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler on the side of the Constitution, she's standing with Chuck Schumer. On the side of the Constitution, she's standing with Eric Stowell, one of the managers in the House on the side of the Constitution, and she wouldn't take a word back no matter how many.

In fact, she says there's going to be extensive, really extensive criminal investigations going on. I don't know, Liz. I just quoted from just the news which looked at these criminal investigations and charges and found that your way out of line.

Way out of line, because the more we know. The more we know. That there was no incitement by the president. For an insurrection. Liz. And the party in Wyoming is correct to centry you. And I hope you're defeated. My primary opponent. Because we need people, particularly in Republican leadership in the House who are sober. Not talking about drunk, sober thinking. Who truly do believe in the constitutional system. To have a better understanding of impeachment and trials than Chuck Schumer and Andy McCarthy.

Poor people are going to stand up to the mob whether the mob is in the media. Or whether they're charging the Capitol building. They're going to keep their heads about them, but you're not one of them, Liz. You're not one of them. And then you go on Chris Wallace, and you continue to attack the president, you continue to pat yourself, pat yourself on the back. Embarrassing performance, really. I'll be right back. Much love in.

If witnesses are called, then Pelosi, McConnell need to be calm. What do they do, if anything, with the information?

The information didn't get to them from their own sergeants of arms. Is that possible? They're still there, at least Pelosi's says so here you have. Endless, relentless. Propaganda being beaten into the public. By frauds like Jake Tapper. By frauds like Deliman, by frauds like Wolf Blitzer, I frauds like Andrea Mitchell, by frauds at The Washington Post and The New York Times and these other places, they have access to everything that I have just relayed to you in the last two hours.

They have all of it and probably more. But they want you to believe something else. I look at the facts. That's what I'm trained to do. Before I was a radio broadcaster, before I was a TV broadcaster, before I was an author. I was and am a practicing attorney. I was president of a foundation, a legal foundation that duked it out with some of the best lawyers. Not these clowns on TV, hey, you know what I used to do?

Who cares? We filed brief after brief into the United States Supreme Court. And fought hard on a number of issues. I am trained to think this way. I am trained to give attribution to people who work hard and think hard and ride hard rather than steal their stuff. And I was. Always taught that way to be moral and to be ethical. You know, several weeks ago, there was a piece in The Washington Post. And we talked about it briefly, there was a piece in The Washington Post.

I think it was three reporters. And they tried to tie me to the proud boys. And they tried to tie me to the. Sad death of one of the protesters who died of a heart attack. So they wanted their readers to believe that I was part of this mob, if not there in person, egging them on. That I am some kind of neo-Nazi and white supremacist, yeah, we Jews, we tend to do that, you know.

All my academic accomplishments. All my scholarly accomplishments. All my constitutional arguments here on the air. Absolutely ignored. They have to create a persona that does not exist. Because this is what the neo Marxist left do. Whether they're dressed up as riders, dressed up as politicians, it doesn't matter. They seek to crush their opponents what lies and smears? And they know, thanks to a radical Supreme Court in the 1960s. They're very well protected. They're very well protected.

About lying and smearing and character assassinating. But they're not 100 percent protected. Moreover. Moreover. One of their reporters, Paul Farhi. Tried repeatedly. To create the impression that my partner in this business, Cumulous. Had sent me in a few of the others a memo admonishing us, and they had never sent us a memo admonishing us, I wouldn't tolerate it for two seconds, but they never did.

And so that has been repeated endlessly by the media, so they're trying to create a fiction, a fiction.

And I put them on notice that that will not be tolerated here and any effort that succeeds in undermining my business and contractual association with my partners will result in a brutal legal response from me.

I'll be right back. From the Westwood One podcast network. Ladies and gentlemen, this final hour of the podcast is sponsored exclusively by AMEC, the Association of Mature American Citizens. Now over two million conservative members Strong EMAC believes in and stands up for the values that we care about faith, family and freedom. Thank you for listening and please support Amen. And you can become a member at Armacost U.S. Join.

He's here now broadcasting live from the underground command post here. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Hello, America, I'm Mark Levin. Our number is eight seven seven three eight one three eight one one eight seven seven three eight one three eight one one. An additional one point nine trillion dollars I've made to point to that, we have six point three percent unemployment.

That is not an unusual level, it would have been in the Trump administration where he had it down to like three and change, but. An Obama Biden that was about the average. There was no need to spend one point nine trillion dollars. The Congressional Budget Office says we are having an economic turnaround by mid time this year. So Biden's going to kill it. Well, benefit from it early on and then kill it. So if there's massive.

Deficit spending, nothing not to deal with covid-19, but to pay off the Democrat mayors, the Democrat governors.

Public transportation, public sector, teacher unions, because they deserve it, if anybody does, of course. It's all your money, then I look at the headlines. That the House Democrats have unveiled an enhanced child tax credit plan. Where every child would get a 3600 dollar tax credit in a family. This is the Earned Income Tax Credit. This is a check you get it's handed to you. The Earned Income Tax Credit, which costs us an enormous amount of money, it's basically.

A steady welfare payment without any. Conditions attached other than you have children. So if you have two children, you get seventy two hundred dollars. If you're a couple that earns one hundred and fifty thousand dollars or less. Isn't that shocking, Mr. Producer? Heather, throwing money around like this, it's just unbelievable to me and nobody is objecting to this. This is on top of. Biden officials considering action on a plan to cancel up to 50000 dollars in student loan debt.

He's actually thinking of doing this without legislation. Without legislation. It's incredible to me what's going on and of course, Jake Tapper is focused on hate and lies. But it is amazing, is it not, ladies and gentlemen? Now, the Congressional Budget Office, with the 15 dollar minimum wage proposal, has said that will kill one point four million jobs, 900000 people will be better off and out of poverty, one point four million people will be worse off and headed for poverty.

But Biden doesn't care about that any more than he cares about the men and women who lost their livelihoods on the Keystone XL pipeline. And to show you how a man who's been in Washington 50 years has no idea.

What he's doing or all the little spokes idiots surrounding him who've never, ever done any work outside of a think tank. Or some kind of left wing organization. I forget who it was, they made an excellent point today, but it's it's obvious, but it needs repeating. If you are working on the Keystone XL pipeline. And they're saying you're going to have new energy jobs, what new energy jobs exactly are they talking about? This isn't my point, but I just want new energy jobs.

Are they talking about? What are they talking about? Oh, you'll make solar panels. But where are we going to make solar panels in Beijing because they make most of the solar panels? Where are we going to make these solar panels?

I will make them, you know, in Silicon Valley, in California. Or make them in Austin, another silicon area or make them around Boston and others will make that. So in other words, he got to sell your home.

You've got to leave your community, take your kids out of school, leave your your immediate family, fathers, fathers, mothers, grandparents, if you can even qualify for such a job since you've been working on pipelines most of your life.

You see, it's not going to happen. These people are not going to be working in green jobs, it's not going to happen. They have lost their livelihood, their careers have been destroyed. It's like asking a lawyer to be an electrician, lawyers are notably incapable of being electricians. It's like asking a proctologists. To be a cardiac surgeon. Well, that's the wrong end, they don't know how to be a cardiac surgeon and vice versa. It's like answering, you know, asking a teacher to teach in the classroom doesn't happen it.

So these are all lies, all narratives pushed by the radical left. You know, it's always amazing and we've talked about this on radio over the last 20 years to the Democrat Party, cobbles together these these constituent groups. So they've managed to cobble together unions or at least union bosses and the radical environmental movements that want to destroy those union jobs. They want to destroy the oil jobs, the pipeline jobs, the steel jobs, the construction jobs, the aluminum jobs, the assembly line car building.

They want to destroy all smokestacks. We call them smokestack industry. They want to destroy them and they vote for Biden.

And the people who want to destroy them, they vote for by. Not all of you, of course, you know what I mean. And there's Trumka, big fat slob, head of the AFL-CIO, acting like it's a surprise of the Keystone XL pipeline. I wish he hadn't done this on the first day. What does that mean, Mr. Producer? Wishes he hadn't done it on the first day. I don't even know as long as he does it, but not on the first day.

There's your union bosses. Pulling down hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars, paying themselves unbelievable pensions, medical care, better than Falchi has. He surprised. Meanwhile. For all of you individuals out there who work. And work in all those fields, I said, and others driving trucks, putting groceries on the shelves and doing all those things.

Biden has another plan for you. He wants you all to be unionized. Whether you like it or not. He wants to massively expand private sector unions. Now, why is he doing that? Because it makes no ladies. And Joe, what have I told you always remember this because now the backbenchers on TV and radio regurgitating it.

It's not just about power, it's power for the Democrat Party. Party comes first. Whether it's Moscow, whether it's Beijing or whether it's Washington, party comes first. That bill is now opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce can go to hell. They're a disgusting operation that only cares about the corporatists. But the bill would make it illegal to permanently replace striking workers. It empowers the National Labor Relations Board, which is notoriously left wing, to overturn a democratic workplace unionization election and forced millions of freelancers to join unions.

This is Joe Biden's America, let's stop talking about Bernie Sanders and see any other nut jobs. Joe Biden is all in. Joe Biden is all in finally. The lying, plagiarizing, groping, stupid. Backbencher of a senator is president. And he's found his zone. In a zone, his legacy, he can't get a legacy as a moderate, as a centrist, as a bipartisan. If you're a Democrat, the only way you can have a legacy.

Is the push, the Marxist agenda? Whether it's on critical race theory, whether it's open borders and illegal immigration, putting Americans out of jobs, so be it, whether it's destroying and centralizing our health care system, whether it's refusing to deport violent criminals. Giving citizenship to millions of millions of illegal aliens and here's the thing, if you. Conduct yourself that way as president. The media will applaud you. The left wing historians that populate our universities and colleges will celebrate you.

And. Your party. Your party simultaneously will become so powerful that it's undefeatable. So, of course, Joe Biden, always the opportunist, always chameleon, has now gone from embracing white supremacists, real white supremacists. And segregationist. To embracing black nationalists. And Black Lives Matter. In one short lifetime. Joe Biden is no moderate. He is the most radical and extreme president in American history. Maybe Liz Cheney will wake the hell up and confront that.

Maybe Mitch McConnell will get serious and confront that, maybe Ben Sasse. Well, shut his big mouth about Trump and start opening his big mouth about Biden. And all the rest of them. I'll be right back. Much love in.

Let's take a few calls, what do you think, folks?

Let's go to David Macon, Georgia, on the Mark Levin and law professor.

David, how are you, sir? I'm fine, thanks, Mark, thanks for taking my call. I really enjoy your analysis of the Constitution. I want to circle back in the words of our our press secretary to the beginning of your show when you were talking about the Mr. Cooper's op ed and you said that he really didn't have anything there. And he pointed out that there was nothing in the papers, the records of the Constitution and Madison's notes on there that would support that.

But I wanted to embellish it by pointing out that actually there is a lot in there that would really clarify what was going on and what's going on tomorrow should be to say that it's unconstitutional. They take this up only on July 13, July 19th and 20th of 1787 during that constitutional convention. They had just briefly mentioned that a couple of times before them. But they got into a real discussion of it in the context of other things as well. But those two days were the big days on impeachment, and it started off with Mr.

Governor Morris, who was quite the Virginian plantation guy. But he was wealthy, I guess, but he was the biggest opponent of slavery of anybody in the constitutional convention. But anyway, he said he started it off and he spoke of those two days. He spoke more than anybody else in that first and he spoke at the beginning at length and then shut up. But the he said the executive being impeachable would be a dangerous part of the plan.

I'm reading from Madison's note. Right. It will hold him in such dependence that he will be no check on the legislature, will not be a firm guardian of the people and of the public interest. He will be the tool of a faction of some leading demagogue in the legislature. So he might just as well been predicting people like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer then. So two days go by for, you know, all the argument goes on and then at the very end, they go back and forth.

And a lot of people make a lot of interesting arguments. And then he's the elder statesman kind of guy and he kind of he comes in at the end. He's the last person to speak before the vote and he changes his mind and and he says it was an ass. And say about this, he says, Mr. Morris's opinion has been changed by the arguments used in the discussion is now sensible of the necessity of impeachment. Yes, the executive wish to continue for any time in office.

And then he goes on to say that more says that it's not right there if.

Read the word again, yeah, yeah, it says, if the executive was to continue for any time in office, if the executive was to continue any time in office, go right ahead.

He's not going to continue for any time in office. Mr. Governor, Morris wasn't interested in having impeachment, but he was conceding.

He said, OK, well, we'll give him impeachment, but it's only to continue for any time in office. And then he also said that it should be limited by a list. You should be impeachable for treachery, corrupting his electors in an incapacity. And and then he said even then, he should be punished not as a man, but as an officer and punished only by degradation from his office. He goes on to say, the magistrate is not the king, but the prime minister, the people are the king.

When we make him amenable to justice, however, we should take care to provide some that will not make him dependent on the legislature. And that was it. That was a discussion. They they they at that point voted and and they agreed to the impeachment, as suggested by Governor Morris. Last word on the subject. And it was I think it was eight to two now.

Let me ask you a question, Professor. Anything in there at all that supports the Cooper McCarthy notion that. Well, of course, it's self executing and you're out of office. I think there's not a damn syllable, is there?

Not that I can tell. I mean, it's I think you use the word Pressel to describe his argument, and I have to say, I mean, Mr. Cooper is usually a very good lawyer. He's got a lot going on upstairs. He's a smart guy, but I think he just got a little too smart on this situation. And I just I'm not sure what's driving him there, but I am.

He hates Trumpy. Used to represent Bolton. I'm clear what's driving all these guys. McCarthy had a book on impeachment, on Obama. So he's trying to be consistent.

I'm trying to be accurate. And I'm glad you called, I remember those those those those sections that you brought them to for that very, very important, I hope, the impeachment lawyers, the presidents are listening.

And you're right, it is it is a counter intuitive argument, and it is an argument that runs counter to what Morris was saying, and there's not a single framer that embraced any of what's being discussed today, not one you just got to read like three pages, you know, in the in the books.

Here you go to the Yale Avallone project, exact transcript. You know, I even cited that in liberty and tyranny, I said that, know, Avalon project is it's great, isn't it? Oh, it's terrific. The original documents and so forth. Yeah, you know, you mentioned Trumka Trump Good knew about the pipeline thing, of course, because if you read the Time magazine discussion of the shadow campaign, it's clear that the AFL-CIO is heavily involved in it.

Let it their guy. Let it. Yeah, you're right, the lawyer, yes. All right, Professor, I won't ask you if that's your real name or whether you're a professor because you've got everybody around here knows me. Yes, well, do me a favor.

Call back.

Often the reprobates like Randy Barnett and John Eastman were, you know, they're my buddies.

Yeah, so I would know who you are. Maybe, maybe so. All right, we'll keep up the good work. Take care of yourself. How do you like that? Only on the Mark Levin Show, but it should underscore your point, the your belief system, the reason they don't cite any part of the Constitution accurately or any of the history, any of Madison's notes is because their position is non-existent, nonexistent. I'll be right back. AMEC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, is one of the fastest growing organizations in America now, over two million conservative members strong, and I'm one of them EMAC believes in and stands up for the values that we constitutional conservatives care about more than talk.

AMOC fights a full time presence in Washington. AMOC pushes back against reckless spending disasters like Medicare for all and the expanding reach of the federal government and beyond. Advocacy. Joining a map gives you access to a wealth of benefits and discounts, including special member only, rates on car insurance, travel discounts, cell phone plans and a hell of a lot more. And if that's not enough, you'll get Amax bi monthly magazine full of insightful articles on issues that matter to most of us.

We conservatives, as I said, I'm an EMAC member and you should be to join today at Amoco's. That's a m a c dot us stop supporting the liberal agenda that the other 50 plus organization has been pushing for. Join AMOC instead a C U.S..

Mark Levin, great one, the great one, Mark Levin, Dialla now. Eight, seven seven three eight one three eight one one.

We have some very important callers, just folks like everybody else, not famous, but people who've experienced certain things that I think have information to give us. It's very, very important. So stick with me. Let us see.

Let us go to Evan Denver, Colorado, XM Satellite. Evan, go right ahead, please. How are you doing, Mr. Levine? All right, my friend. Good. Well, you know, I wanted to call in and express a different angle from this whole renewable energy debacle. How about a contractor that has spent four years building his installation crew? We're not talking about the big, you know, sales companies and all that stuff.

But the guys that actually put it on your house, put that put the solar panels on the house, OK? Yeah, we actually do that. And what's going to happen to us? So Biden says, OK, we're going to put all these guys in renewable energy. Well, we're skilled contractors to we've spent four to five years building up our skills. And there's no way we're going to let any of those guys come on to our turf. You know what I'm saying?

It's I think what you're saying is if you have men and women who've been in other fields for much of their lives and now all of a sudden they flood into the solar area, first of all, they're not trained, they're not experienced, and it's not so simple. It's not and more than that, you're talking about people who are working in other parts of the country. They're not all going to come to Denver, Colorado.

No, and not only that, we we put our life and blood into this and of course, we think we need renewable energy, but you know what? We need natural gas and we need oil to of course we have to.

I'm not against renewable energy. One of my guess is the government socially and economically engineering things and destroying them. You have a market system. The market system is not a theory. It's a reality. The market system is the closest thing to human behavior that we have. What they do is they have a few knuckleheads at the top who've been in Washington, the vast majority of their lives, who've never done anything in the private sector, anything. And all of a sudden they're telling everybody what jobs are going to have, how they're going to get them and so forth.

And it doesn't work that way. No, it doesn't. And we went to my business partner and I went to a private trade school when we got out, we were both looking for jobs. We went to work for small companies. He tried to take me to a Bernie Sanders rally. So I took him to a Larry Johnson rally. And he is now a proud conservative libertarian because so he went from communist to libertarian.

The libertarian conservative even voted for Mr. Trump as well. This last cycle, because he knows what it's like now to pour your heart and soul.

By the way, do you think you guys are going to be untouched just because you have a smaller company? They're going to drive up your costs. They're going to determine who you hire and how you hire all kinds of stuff. Your taxes are going to go up. Everybody is going to be punished, even the renewable energy field people just don't know it yet. Yeah, we're all ten nine. All right. I don't blame you for cursing, but we can't do it.

Did you get that, Mr. Producer? But all right.

It's a word I use often, but my wife admonishes me. It's not the F word.

I never use that word. I never use the F word, Franklin. You should Franklin Delano Roosevelt. All right, Evan, thank you. There used to be commercial used to crack me up. Well, this whole country is shocked by something and he says, my God, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and I thought that was I couldn't stop laughing. I don't know why. I just couldn't stop. All right. Here we go. Let us go to Curtis, Santa Rosa, California, a great case for Curtis.

How are you, sir? Oh, very good. And it's an absolute honor and a privilege to talk to you, sir.

Thank you, sir. Absolutely, but what I listen to your show every day and I wanted to throw it out there, I've got 36 years in with the carpenters and piledriver unions out on the West Coast. Yes, sir. And before that, I worked in the oil patch both as a roughneck and an engineer. And I during my career as a carpenter, I built the Solyndra plant in the Bay Area right next to where they're where they did build Teslas, and that the purpose of that project was to build solar panels.

That was during the Obama Obama's. Is it still running cylinders still working? Oh, no, of course not. Think they ever made? I don't think they ever made a solar panel there ever. We got it done. And then the markets fell out of the bottom in the solar panel market domestically because China couldn't cut them.

See, China doesn't worry about unions. Oh, Shina undercut them. Well. He sure did, I mean, and so so that's been tried already. That was during Obama.

So now let me let me tell you some critics. I love guys like you. You want to know why? You do things I can't do. Seriously, I have to rely on men and women just like you. I'm quite serious to eat, to drive, to have my home.

This is why I get furious with these left wing policies where they claim they're going to help people like you. They're not helping anybody opening the border to illegal aliens, driving up the minimum wage, doing all. They just let the market work, for God's sakes. Leave it alone.

But they can't and they won't. I want to thank you, Curtis, you're right on, man. Thanks for your call. Brian Henderson, Texas XM Satellite. Brian, go right ahead, please. Or three or more. Thanks for taking my call. Thank you, Brian. I'm a pipeline inspector have been for 13 years, you know, put a big part of my life, I'm 53 years old. Prior to that, I've worked in other aspects of construction.

But as they talk about this Keystone XL and all the union jobs, I think people aren't getting the whole picture for every union contractor. A lot of times whoever owns that, they have a sister company that's non-union. You know, a lot of stuff in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, in the south. You know, it's not union work a lot up north northeast. A lot of that is union work. But these pipeline projects are thousands of miles long.

They break them up into spreads, you know, generally 150, 100, 150 miles a spread and a union contractor will have a spread, non-union and so forth. So when they talk about all these jobs that are lost, that's probably a third of the real number in just the pipeline side.

Oh, interesting. So when you're saying they say we've lost 11000 union jobs, you saying, wait a minute. You're talking about 25, 30000 jobs here. Exactly, because there's just as many, if not more non-union contractors doing the same popline construction.

It's unbelievable to me to do this. And not only that, they're talking about other pipeline pipelines are the cleanest, most efficient way to get fuel from point A to point B.

We've been doing it for over 100 years, so we wouldn't have to use trucks and trains. It's the least dirty way, the least polluting way available. And they're doing. Let me ask you, why is it that they want to stop economic growth and kill our energy independence? This is suicidal. Well, and another thing, most of the laborers and a lot of the operators and a lot of these hands that are working out there, guess where they're from, Mexico, they're all out of work, too, and they're doing the right thing.

I've got nothing wrong with it. I have no problem with immigrants that come over and work and want to have the American dream and that they're hurting them just as much as the union worker that that gets posted on TV. That doesn't have a job.

Let me tell you what they have figured out is the environmental movement, the Green New Deal, the New Deal movement is the quickest way to control the economy and the quickest way to control the society. Remember what I always say. This is about empowering the Democrat Party. They want permanent control. And I'll tell you something.

You raise some very, very interesting questions, Brian, that remind me of something. You know, back when the Soviet Union was running strong and America was running strong, they would always talk about the worker's paradise in the workers.

Now, the funny thing was an American on an assembly line would never switch places with a Russian on an assembly line. And that's the worker's paradise over there. Right. You see this Marxist democratic socialist mindset, while they like to talk about workers, why they like to talk about the problem, the proletariat.

The fact is, that's all window dressing.

It's fascism that claims to be for the people, that's all communism is, it's fascism that claims to be for the people. What the Democrats want is one party control here. That's what they want. They want in California. They have it in New York. They have it in New Jersey. They have it in all these states. They want it for the whole country and they need the environmentalists. They need the money from the environmentalists to do it.

Then you have suckers like Trumka and others who go for it. Anyway, listen. So what are you going to do? Are you are you employed? Are you going to be employed or who knows?

I finished the project, another major pipeline for Kinder Morgan, my last payday was Thanksgiving. I plan on taking the holidays off, you know, just because I'm gone months and months at a time, sometimes a year or more. And I was planning on taking some time off. I've drawn unemployment twice in my mom's working lifetime. The other time was during Obama drew it for about I got two checks and found a job, went back to work on a very small amount of time.

I'm on it now. Me and my wife, we're trying to find something.

And the truth is, it's not a lot of money is. It's not near what I made, I mean, I know it was not it was not uncommon for me to make 200000 dollars a year for I sacrificed a lot. I'm going to work all over this country. I'll miss everything with my kids growing up. But I provided everything, you know, we never wanted for anything. And I'm scared to death. And I'm like, I'm not going to lie.

You know, I'm 53 and I'm supposed to just change. I'm college educated. But I mean, I've been through this my whole life.

And here you are doing your thing, working hard, paying taxes and actually contributing to society in a big way.

All you guys are and I look at this, it's it's it's so terrible. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you, Brian, and God bless you and your family. We'll be right back.

My love in.

I'm not going to play it for you folks, this phoney interview, this Norah O'Donnell. She she should be ashamed of herself, but of course, she's not should probably get a Peabody Award.

I don't know what that is. For interview of the late, great Joe Biden, but Joe Biden basically is selling out the Chinese, dropping the Trump policies, he's saying we just have to learn, they have to understand we're going to compete and everyone's going to follow the international rules. I mean, what an idiot. Does he know what he's up against? That's like telling me, you know, we're going to compete, but the international rules are or the Third Reich.

We're going to just say so. Unqualified in every respect to lead, this country is going down the checklist of the radical left wing agenda. And hardworking men and women who work in so many of these fields are there, they're going to get crushed. It's just it's just appalling to me. Let's go to Jennifer Scranton, Pennsylvania, the great WIO, OK, now you know Biden, I'm a Scranton boy. No, you're an idiot. You spent about 14 seconds in Scranton.

Let's be honest, and I'll never be back again. Anyway, go right ahead, Jennifer.

Mark, it's a great honor to speak with you. I've listened to for many years, but I grew up currently live just outside of Scranton, but grew up about 30 miles north of here among struggling farmer dairy farmers. And fracking came in about a decade ago and it brought all kinds of jobs to the local folks there who could work on the rigs or drive water trucks and hotels were built to accommodate the workers. The money went directly to the people whose land was being used or who had adjoining who.

Well, fracking, if you own land and there's a vein that got a piece of the action, you got a great piece of the action. My parents had 10 acres and the money goes directly to them. The wells that they're drinking. Well, the pond on our land was checked regularly with absolutely no contamination. It's completely safe. The farmers, their love, their land, and would never, ever permit anything to harm it.

The companies establish and by the way, just as a footnote, if this were a big problem, you'd be seeing story after story after story about it. But it's not a big problem. It's not a problem at all anymore than pipelines are a problem.

Go right ahead. Exactly, and I know that for I know I know that that's absolutely true, and not only that, the the gas company build a hospital. My mom had pancreatic cancer and perhaps was able to recover very close to her home rather than driving 30 miles to Scranton. She's in her 80s. My dad had Alzheimer's. They passed away. But my sisters and I now share the royalties and we were able to start a small scholarship at a local Christian.

So the bottom line is, because we're running out of time, is look how this this resonates throughout an economy economy that was hurting maybe in many areas of the country flat on their backs.

But you know what the problem is, Jennifer, you're not in the inner city. You're out there in Republican areas or purple areas, you have no benefit to the Democrat Party. And so this is how they govern, they govern for power, they punish their so-called Republican red state enemies, and they embrace and redistribute and defend their base.

Unfortunately, Jennifer, that music means I have to go. We salute our armed forces, police officers, firefighters and emergency personnel. I want to thank all of you folks for hanging in here. I try to do the best program I can. I'm worried about this country like you are. And it is mission to save the Republic every night. God bless you and see you tomorrow.
