Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.

Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution.

We're learning as prized and intellectual enthusiasm as valued.

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

Somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-descript building, we once again made contact with our leader, Mike.

Love that.

Hello, everybody. Mark Levin here, our number 877381381187738133811.

You know the two lead stories are tonight all over the news?

That Donald Trump Jr. has reached some kind of deal to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

And that Don McGann mispeed by Gerald Nadler, and if he doesn't show up and testify despite the executive branch's raising objections, then he will be held in contempt.

So this is all nonsense. Who really cares? To be perfectly honest with you. What they're doing to McGann and the White House is outrageous. What they're doing to Don Jr.'s outrageous. You ought to hear the top of the news that I have to listen to.

Is it CNN? What the hell is it, Mr. producer?

No, it's real low class.

It's real low class.

What do I dress today? You know, I spend a lot of time doing research, pulling things together. There's all kinds of things going on.

There are court battle already in front of an Obama judge over fast-tracking subpoenas. We know that Attorney General Barr and he has turned out to be as solid as it can be.

And I mean as a matter of law and politics.

He's picked a US attorney in Connecticut to expand the investigation into how this this greatest scandal in American history was triggered and talking about the effort to spy on and destroy the Trump campaign.

And there's a great deal more to discuss. Still, the Democrats are rallying behind Rashidi Talib. I mean, that needs to be addressed because the Democrats are rallying behind an anti-Semite. It's pretty remarkable.

But that's not how I want to begin this program. That's why we're called the cleanup hitter, the cleanup show after the long day of going through the predictable points.

I want to talk at a little bit of length, not extensive level, about the history of the media. You see a lot of this going on, a lot of this giving you headaches and frustrations. It's just constant static.

Harvard professor in historian Bernard Baylon. And many of you may not have heard of him, but he really is truly an iconic historian. It's 96, 95, 97 years old.
