Summary

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin show, this is not called an impeachment resolution, it’s simply a resolution. This matters because an actual resolution for an impeachment inquiry would confer rights to the President and minority Members of Congress. This is another parliamentary sleight-of-hand that raises separation of powers issues with the Judiciary Committee acting on behalf of the whole Congress. Moreover, the secret testimony given by Army Officer Lt. Col. Vindman has no bearing on this case because there is no substantive change to the transcribed memo of the call. Meanwhile, President Trump's critics call for civility toward Col. Vindman despite never offering the same toward Lt General Mike Flynn. The facts remain unchanged; Trump has not done nothing wrong in asking a fellow head of state to work with the US Attorney General is looking into an ongoing investigation. It is the right and prerogative of any President to ask anyone they want for their assistance in matters of foreign policy — there is nothing illegal or impeachable about such "irregular" involvement from Rudy Giuliani, despite Amb. Bill Taylor's testimony. What's most irregular is that corrupt actors in Ukraine actually helped dig up dirt on Trump for Hillary Clinton's campaign and this smokescreen is simply a cover-up. Then, Julian Castro suggests blackmail and a 'carrot and stick' quid pro quo approach to providing security support to Israel, in which he Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and Sen Bernie Sanders basically outline the 'this for that' nature of their 'conditions' of providing foreign aid to Israel. Later, a brief history of the judicial notice filed by Landmark Legal Foundation which began the impeachment proceedings against President Clinton for the 11 felonies he was cited for violating. Afterward, author and attorney David Limbaugh calls in to discuss his new book "Guilty By Reason of Insanity; Why The Democrats Must Not Win." Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.
0:06.0	Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution, where learning is prized
0:13.0	and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.
0:15.0	Thank you for listening, and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.
0:21.0	He's here. He's here.
0:23.0	Now, broadcasting from the underground canine post.
0:27.0	Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker, somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-distrib building,
0:34.0	we've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.
0:39.0	Hello, America. Mark Levin, our number 877-38138-1187-3813811. You're at the right place.
0:56.0	So we can unravel the propaganda that is taking place throughout the media and with the Democrat Party today.
1:07.0	And we, as usual, will take our time because you're hearing the media as I speak,
1:13.0	say that now that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are going to formalize the impeachment inquiry process,
1:22.0	they've taken a defense away from the president of the Democrats, but that's not what they've done.
1:28.0	I have a copy of the resolution in front of me.
1:33.0	This is not called an impeachment resolution. This is not called a resolution for an impeachment inquiry. It's called a resolution.
1:43.0	And as pointed out by Thomas Liftson at the American thinker, and in my own notes too, as well,
1:52.0	when Nancy Pelosi was walking by an NBC News so-called reporter, she made the distinction.
1:59.0	And it's not an impeachment resolution as she walked by. It's not an impeachment resolution. It's a resolution.
2:08.0	Now, why does that matter? For several reasons. The reporters are too stupid or too ideologically partisan to understand the difference.
2:19.0	The actual resolution for an impeachment inquiry voted on by the full house would confer rights, really equal rights,
2:30.0	on the Republican minority, to subpoena witnesses, on the president and his counsel to be present whenever there's witness testimony,
2:42.0	on the president evidence and so forth, and without the chairman or the majority approval. That's what you saw in the Nixon House impeachment inquiry resolution.
