and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.

Thank you for listening, and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

He's here. He's here. Now broadcasting from the underground canampus deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-distrib building.

We've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.

Hello, everybody. Mark Levin here our number 877-381381-877-3813811.

I'll be on Hannity the night 9.30 p.m. Eastern time 6.30 p.m. Pacific. I hope you will join us.

The Republicans did a fantastic job today. Ignore the phony media, ignore the phony legal analysts. You've been some of whom have surprised me, I'm quite friendly with.

Those of you who watched it or listened to it on your own, use your own brains. We don't need interpreters. It's in plain English.

We're going to play some of this for you, some of the highlights, but first a few points to reiterate and underscore, because you're not going to get it from the legal analyst.

The law. This so-called whistleblower under the whistleblower statute is not a whistleblower.

That's what's amazing about this whole protection racket. The whistleblower, so-called, is not covered by the whistleblower statute.

The president's not covered by the whistleblower statute. The president's phone calls not covered by the whistleblower statute. So why are they protecting him? It's a cover-up.

Next year, Constitution, bribery, treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors.

The language, treason, bribery, other high crimes and misdemeanors, was intended by your framers to create a higher standard than had been originally proposed at the Constitutional Convention by George Mason.

There were a number of objections, including by James Madison, maladministration, and that's just not enough. So they came up with this language, and they didn't just make it up.

They looked at the British system. They looked at the system in some of our states. That is colonies.

And they came up with this language, barring some from history using some on their own. Treason, bribery, high crimes, misdemeanors. Now you hear misdemeanors and you think of the criminal code. That's not what they meant by misdemeanors.

Even bribery, the elements of bribery, you have these idiots, these legal analysts, one in particular, who are buddy-drugges enamored with. You have no idea what they're talking about. And by the way, this is a frustration of mine. Who are these legal analysts? Not one of them has experience in impeachment. They clinton impeachment. Yes, I do.

Now one of them is a constitutional scholar. Most of them are former federal prosecutors or state judges or whatever. They're not experts at all.

But they act like they're experts. They tell the House Republicans what they should focus on in the Senate, how the trial is supposed to run and all the rest of it.
