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.

So everybody, Mark Levin here, our number 877-3813811-877-3813811.

We're going to spend a lot of time during the course of this program on what Terry Nadler and the House Democrats are doing to the executive branch, to separation of powers to the Constitution.

They are intentionally and specifically subpoening individuals to testify that they know full well, cannot testify unless the President of the United States destroys the office of the presidency.

A President must have a close circle of advisors, attorneys, secretaries, executive assistants, chief staff, and so forth, who can provide him with information without fear that members at Congress will then drag them in front of their committees and demand that they give private or public testimony.

Now, this notion of executive privilege goes back as far as George Washington, and of course, as recently as Barack Obama, with respect to Eric Holder.

And now this President.

And so what Nadler is doing systematically is he is subpoening individuals who he knows, the Office of Legal Counsel, the Justice Department will advise the President of the United States to prevent from testifying before Congress.

These people haven't committed crimes. They're not accused of wrongdoing. It's just that Mr. Nadler wants to pierce a cherished tradition and practice in this country.

He wants to destroy the notion of separation of powers.

I heard a traditional analyst on TV say today that when the President allowed his White House attorney, Mr. McCann, to testify during the course of a special counsel investigation that he had weighed privilege with respect to Congress.

This is any rudimentary student of constitutional laws knows his utter ignorance.

Since the special counsel is part of the same branch of government, that is the executive branch, it would have absolutely no presidential effect.

If the President of the United States asserts privilege on the same individual as applies to Congress to completely different institutions, one having nothing to do with the other.

The other one who would declare a privilege against your own branch of government would be odd, was tried several times, but it would be odd. That's not what the President of the United States is doing here.

I just told you succinctly in the course of about what, 180 seconds, what's going on, the constitutional issues, the history.

Have you heard this on TV anywhere? I don't know. I'm just wondering. Have you heard this on TV anywhere?

So you keep hearing that this Congressman from Rhode Island, who is a complete jerk, and you keep hearing that Jerry Nadler, we know what he is, and the others say that we can't help.

The President is building a case for impeachment. He's broken the law. Nadler announced today the President broke the law.
