On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, House Republicans have voted for an impeachment inquiry on Joe Biden, which gives the House of Representatives more muscle to get subpoenas and depositions. It is amazing to watch the same Democrats who insisted Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses and rushed the entire process now speaking out against a simple inquiry for Joe Biden. The standard for impeaching a president was completely destroyed when Democrats went above and beyond to try and use impeachment to remove Donald Trump over nothing. An extremely radical Democrat party wants to destroy the Executive branch in order to stop Donald Trump from becoming president, and if the Supreme Court gets involved it could be a disaster. Jack Smith and Tanya Chutkan, backed by the Biden Department of Justice, insist that once you leave the presidency your protection is gone and have used that to bring 4 bogus charges against Trump. Jack Smith only cares about getting a conviction for Trump as quickly as he can so he can interfere in the 2024 election. Also, Democrats in the media kiss up to Hamas and report their propaganda, and now are blaming Benjamin Netanyahu for the Hamas terror attack in October and are calling for him to be removed as prime minister. What they don’t want to report is that nearly 75% of Palestinians support the October 7 terror attacks against Israel. Democrats talk about Trump and MAGA worse than they do about the leadership of Hamas and Palestine, who support the attacks on Israel.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. You’re at the right place at the right time, of course. Minutes ago, the House of Representatives nay, the Republicans in the House of Representatives, every one of them voted for an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden. It’s an inquiry. It’s not an actual impeachment, as everybody keeps saying, which is true. But because impeachment’s provided for in the Constitution itself, it gives the House of Representatives the majority more muscle. To demand actual responses to subpoenas testimony. That is depositions and more muscle in court. Should there be a dispute to get those subpoenas in depositions? Now, what amazes me about this is to watch the same Democrats. Who insisted that Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses. Let’s take the second impeachment first without ever holding a hearing. They raised it through the House of Representatives. They delivered it to the Senate as fast as possible. Every Senate Democrat voted for it. Some Republicans voted for it like Sasse, like Romney, and a handful of others. They said that he was involved in an insurrection and seditious conspiracy, which of course, he was not. There was never any evidence of that. There still isn’t any evidence of that. And he’s never been charged with it. So the standard for impeaching a president has been fundamentally destroyed. In the first impeachment. We have a public phone call excuse me, a phone call that was not public between President Trump and Zelensky. Trump and Zelinsky defended the cause. Alinsky said he did not in any way feel pressured to do anything. President Trump is so sure of that. He actually released a transcript of the call, which is a rarity. The Democrats seized on it. Nonetheless, half a sentence. Reinterpreted what actually was in the transcript and insisted that Donald Trump was putting the shoulder on Zelinski. And that only if Zelinski. Only Zelensky opened an investigation on Biden. Would he get some of the aid that he wanted? Zelensky said, I never felt that pressure. That wasn’t what was said. Trump said the same thing. It didn’t matter. They had nothing on Russia collusion. They created Russia collusion. They created their criminal investigation. They planted the entire story. But they couldn’t get it on him because it was utterly and completely false. It was a lie to the American people. Led by the Democrats and their media. So at the last minute they moved the Ukraine. They have an insider, a Trump hating Democrat Obama holdover. Then they impeached him for that to impeachment. And it was more than that, a bogus criminal investigation. They are bogus Special counsel. And now. The Republicans have voted. On an impeachment inquiry into watch. Swalwell, who was involved in every one of the impeachments of Trump and the January six committee, Swalwell now saying in the case of little Biden, Hunter Biden. HUNTER Biden says, I’ll only testify if I’m subpoenaed to testify publicly. So it’s transparent. That January six committee, every deposition it took, every interview it took was in the basement of the Capitol building. There are requests. There were demands that those depositions be held publicly. And the Democrats said no. Raskin said no. Kinzinger said no. Cheney said no. Pelosi said no. Now Hunter Biden says today at a bizarre. Public event. He’ll only testify to public. Well, guess what? You spy the little bastard. You don’t get to tell them what to do. And there’s plenty of precedent for this even before the January six committee. So all this precedent is coming back to bite the Democrats in the U.S.. All of it. Except one. The attorney general of the United States has gone silent. It’s gone silent about anti-Semitism. He can’t silent about Joe Biden. He didn’t hold any big press conference. He’s gone silent. Why is there not a special counsel investigating Joe Biden? Under the special counsel appointment process. There’s more than enough information. More than enough information to suggest a potential conflict of interest. When the United States Department of Justice, all senior point senior members appointed by Joe Biden himself are sitting on their hands when it comes to Joe Biden when you have an indictment. In California of Hunter Biden that specifically, as I discussed the day it happened, excludes Joe Biden and specifically excludes those possible counts that would ensnare Joe Biden like fire. We all know what’s going on here. We’re not stupid. We’re not stupid. Let me tell you some other precedent. This administration, these Democrat hack Obama judges, are creating in this country. And they’re not good. They’re all bad. When a president of the United States makes decisions. He cannot be charged with a crime. But has opinions or expresses his viewpoints. He cannot be charged with a crime. Otherwise the president is dead. You would literally have an unelected prosecutor and unelected federal judge, unelected trial jury. Determining whether they’re going to decapitate the executive branch. The president is the third branch of government elected by all the people. That is, that people go to the voting booth or whatever they do anymore, elected by the majority or a plurality. But all the people participate. That’s not there’s not another office like that in the United States. Excluding the vice president. So you can have one prosecutor, one judge, one jury saying Washington or Atlanta, whatever, determining whether president stays or goes. Moreover, a president has to be free to act. That’s one of the reasons he’s not subject to criminal prosecution while he’s president. Now. But the Biden Justice Department with Jack the Ripper, Smith, who is a completely rogue son of a you know what? Now, what this judge shrunk in and others have done is they’ve said, okay. That may be true, but that doesn’t carry. That privilege doesn’t carry after a president has left office. He’s not a king at all. If he did something with our president and we claim he violated the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, we claim he violated the Enron Obstruction Act. Twice, we claim that he violated a federal contractor act. And we use those four charges to effectively prosecute him for insurrection. And seditious conspiracy without actually charging him or having to prove the the elements of such crimes. He’s not above the law. He could be charged with that. Trump’s lawyers go in and say, wait a minute. So, in other words. An opposition administration or an opposition party or a candidate who’s afraid to run against, say, Donald Trump. That his prosecutors. Can look at the presidency and look at the decisions made during the presidency. And when that president is out of office, indict him for those decisions. So to put a fine point on it. I can sit here today, I can make a list of all the violations that Joe Biden has committed, including. A score of immigration laws. He’s intentionally violated the violence that has flowed from that the death, the rape, the sex trafficking that has flowed from that. The undermining, the undermining of our communities, the undermining of law enforcement, the undermining of our hospitals, the mayhem and the havoc that that has created for towns and cities across the country. I can sit and wait. Until he’s out of office. And sue him. Find some law. Some law to hang it on. Well, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. If the Supreme Court blows this one. If Hollywood. John Roberts. If Kavanaugh. And if Barrett, who’s been a complete disaster, if they go along with Hollywood, John. And they’re cowards and they’re afraid of what can be said of them on MSNBC. And CNN said to them in The New York Times. It’s the opposite of what’s taking place. It’s not that the president is king. Is that extremely radical political party. Which now controls the executive branch. He wants to destroy the presidency because they’re out for Donald Trump. And that presidency will be destroyed forever. If the Supreme Court doesn’t do the right thing, which is number one. No, Jack, get in line when everybody else. This isn’t life and death. This is an emergency. If Donald Trump loses, you can hold your trial. What are you worried about? No, we’re not going to abandon the process just because you insist and write a hysterical political. Self-aggrandizing. Brief to the Supreme Court where you claim to represent the public interest and you claim the public interest is in a speedy trial. Jack. The speedy trial provision. The Bill of Rights belongs to the defendant, not the government. The government doesn’t have a right to a speedy trial. The government has all the power, all the resources, all the personnel. That was written to protect the person who is targeted by the government, not to protect the government so it can crush a defendant. But Jack’s in a hurry. So is Judge Tonkin, who today realized, well, she was a little too big for her britches. So she said, I have to put this on hold. Until all this appellate stuff has resolved that. That’s right, Judge. You do? I’m sorry. So you can see how Biden. The Democrats. Jack Smith, Judge Duncan, how they have literally destroyed. Our constitutional processes when it comes to impeachment, our constitutional processes, when it comes to criminal law, when it comes to the immunity of a presidency and separation of powers. You can see they’re setting fires everywhere, just as Joe Biden is setting fires all over the world. An impeachment inquiry. Let me be. I work for MSNBC, Mr. Producer. Let me be Denham. Joe Scarborough. And subtract about 100 IQ points. Well, you know Mika Well, you know, Mika, if if Joe Biden doesn’t really need to hide and cover up what he worried about an inquiry for america, what’s the problem? He’s got nothing to hide. Just go ahead, tiger. Like a man. Why are you being stonewalling the House of Representatives, Joe? Come on, President Biden, Give them what they want. Demonstrate that you’re publicly my pride. Really? Right, Maga. Gosh. All right, Joe. They’re not wrong here. And they’re going after poor honey buying. Many of those $3 million didn’t pay any tax. Says for four years. They’re only going after him because a maga. MAGA told him not to pay his taxes. Make it right there. Yeah, that’s right. Maggie told him to spend his money on hookers and drugs. Maggie. Maggie told him to shake down the communist Chinese and the mayor. You know Maria. And the question for the average intelligent American is why would all these governments and companies pay? Hunter Biden over $30 million. If he’s a drug addled. More on. Has no business and did nothing for them. If that’s the case. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
I may have gone through the last ten or 15 minutes too quickly, hitting too many legal and constitutional issues. So let me pull back and after the break, I’ll break them down one by one. I will be on HANNITY tonight. 9:30 p.m. Eastern. Hey, after weeks and weeks and weeks. Being asked. And. Avoiding guest appearances on most shows. And why is that? Because I had my own shows. So I don’t mind appearing from time to time on other shows. And I really am honored and grateful for the request. I just can’t do it all at once, that’s all. But tonight’s an important night. It’s an important day. We have an impeachment inquiry. So I’m going to go through the impeachment issues and why so far the Republicans are off on the wrong foot. I’m not opposed, as you well know, to bringing up these financial issues. But Article one should be the one that punches him right in the nose, figuratively. That the American people understand and the Democrats really do not have a response to. Neither do the media. It seems like a very strong article one to me, if we have such a thing and we do. Number two, the Supreme Court. And the issue that’s been raised about presidential immunity, does it carry beyond a presidency? It damn well better otherwise. I will explain that Joe Biden will be potentially prosecuted and he will face a phalanx of civil suits. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
All right one issue at a time. And these things do matter. It’s about your country and your republic, whether we keep it or not. And we’re on a glide path towards losing it under this administration and these judges. So let’s start with this motion to the Supreme Court. What Judge Duncan Junkin and Prosecutor Smith, with the backing of the United States Department of Justice, among many other dastardly things, have insisted. Is that? President Trump’s activities when he was president. May have been covered under executive and presidential privilege, thereby immunizing him when he was president. But when he leaves the presidency, that protection is gone. That protection is gone. It doesn’t follow him. Now, of course, this is a unique situation. Never before has a former president been pursued by the party opposite which controls the Department of Justice. Never before has a judge permitted such things, and certainly never during a course of an election. Never before has these four bogus charges been brought against any prisoner. And never before has a federal prosecutor been free. He is for bogus charges and then try through the back door. To change those charges to insurrection and seditious conspiracy without actually charging those offenses. Now, this admin, this administration, this prosecutor, this judge have done a many, many horrific things. They have, as have the Democrats on the appellate panel to Obama’s and one Biden. They have significantly limited President Trump’s First Amendment right. And the First Amendment is especially important now. When your life is on the line, your freedom is on the line, your career and your reputation on the line. And so the Democrat panel, the appellate panel in Washington, D.C., says, okay, you can attack the prosecutor, but nobody else. Now, that’s not a legal standard. That’s not a constitutional standard. That is absurd. But look, Jack Smith has said, look, our people have been threatened. You know what, Jack? Donald Trump’s been threatened a hell of a lot. That’s why he is Secret Service. But they didn’t stop him from being charges against him. It hasn’t stopped the the phony media on MSNBC and CNN from calling him Hitler. It doesn’t stop Joe Biden saying that if Trump wins, we’ll lose our democracy. Doesn’t stop any of that free speech. The First Amendment is there especially. To protect a defendant in a situation like this. But the Democrat judges for them, the district court, the panel said, no, the First Amendment is going to be severely truncated as a result of Donald Trump. It’s a violation of the First Amendment, the Fifth Amendment due process. Before Trump took over, there was a judge. It was a former senior stare from the Judiciary Committee. To Patrick Leahy, one of the worst senators in human history. American history. And she worked that staff position to be appointed a federal judge in Washington, D.C., of course. And over time she became the chief judge of that district and she was the motions Judge So motions are filed and she would make the rulings. So Jack the Ripper made a motion that attorney client privilege for Donald Trump’s rights in this January six case with his lead attorney. Should be breached. With the crime fraud exception, nobody knows what the hell they’re talking about. This was all done in secret. But she ruled in secret. For the government? For Smith. For the Department of Justice. This is a core, right? In our system of justice. Competing parties, the prosecution and the defense. And this judge ruled that Donald Trump’s chief defense lawyer. Would be forced would be ordered by the court to testify in front of the grand jury, all Washington, D.C. residents, thereby most of them Democrats. And his papers, his notes from his conversations with Donald Trump would all be presented to the grand jury. This was an atomic bomb against Donald Trump’s due process rights under the Fifth Amendment. Can you imagine? You talk to a lawyer? And what was the crime? What was the fraud? Nobody knows. Well, shouldn’t we know he’s running for president? They say they want transparency. They want everything done before the election. Apparently not. Apparently not. So that violates his due process rights, without question, the Fifth Amendment. Then. Smith wanders into court with the backing of the Department of Justice, and he says, Hey, Judge Champion. You know, we’re pals. You were appointed by Obama. My wife loves Obama. I have gone after and destroyed many Republicans, including the former governor of Virginia. Of course, he didn’t say it. I’m just saying the implication they all know this. We want this trial fast. We want a speedy trial. Despite the fact there’s 12 million documents. Despite the fact that the prosecution has all the millions and resources and personnel it wants or needs, all the technology and Trump’s lawyers can’t possibly compete against. The Department of Justice and federal Government. He says We want a speedy trial promised. The speedy Trial Act applies to the defendant, not the government. You would think this judge would know it, but she’s an idiot and she’s an ideologue. And Jack Smith wants a conviction. That’s all he gives a damn about. He wants to interfere with the election. He wants it now. If I was being cheered on by the media. I’m sure he’s a devotee of MSNBC and CNN and The New York Times and all the rest. He wants to have his his face put on Time magazine. He wants to be remembered forever. So he’s on a mission, you see, to stop Hitler. Matt Zeleny. Stylin. MAGA. So he wants a trial and he wants it quickly. President Trump’s lawyer said, we can’t do this in five months. That’s ridiculous. Criminal trials, ladies and gentlemen, can go on for years. I don’t know. Five months. We had Attorney Schoen on my show a couple of months ago, and he said, I have a case in front of this judge. We have a very important motion in front of her, and she has ruled on it in three years. So she moves this case, the Trump case, to the front of the list. She calls the state judge in New York and says, Hey, I know you have that nondisclosure agreement case and all the rest of it. Stormy Daniels. Can you hold off until I am done? He says, Of course. I mean, Democrat, the Democrat. Why wouldn’t they? On top of that, Judge Duncan leapfrogs another judge, the federal judge in Florida. You see Jack Smith brought the documents case first. That’s the first one that should be on the docket. And at a committee. And normal procedures. The second can’t wait until the first case is concluded. But Duncan didn’t want to wait. And no doubt, no doubt. I’m just guessing without consulting with the federal judge in Florida, because after all, she is under attack by the Democrat Party in the media because she’s not an Obama and Biden appointee. Change can set her date before. The judge was able to in Florida on the documents case. Well, wait a minute. Didn’t Smith bring that case first? Yes. Well, he decided it should go first. Well, he made a mistake. Judge Trump came to the rescue. Sixth Amendment violation of a right to effective counsel. When counsel says it cannot be effective because of the grotesque speed with which this judge and the prosecution is operating. The inability to get through all the materials. And by the way, a trial is not just on the information pulled together by the government. The defendant has to pull their own information together, do their own investigation, speak to their own possible witnesses, conduct their own interviews and so forth and so on. In five months. What’s the Harry? There’s no legitimate legal or constitutional reason for a hearing. Nona. Nona, there’s no emergency. None. The four charges they brought against him have nothing to do with insurrection or sedition. None of it. The Clan Act, the Enron obstruction laws and the federal contractor laws. That’s what they put together. So Trump lawyers say in another motion, and they have so many fantastic motions. They say, Hey, look. First of all. Despite these bogus charges. You cannot charge. Former President Trump. Four decisions he made are things he said or did. Which are clearly not criminal, they argue, but you claim they are. When he was president. He had presidential aka immunity a. Executive privilege. Wait a minute. He’s not a king, says Chunk. And he doesn’t get to carry that privilege after he leaves his office. See, here’s the idiocy. This whole thing. The defense is not arguing that the assertion of executive privilege or presidential privilege is one that an ex-president can make. What they’re arguing is those privileges exist when he is president. The immunity from prosecution that is being tried when he is president for decisions he made and things he said while he was president cannot later be charged by saying, okay, may have been immune then, but he’s not immune now. Now, let me tell you why. This is making sense, Mr. Producer. He was sleeping. You awake? Okay, So, ladies and gentlemen. If the Supreme Court rules the wrong way on this, first of all, the rules, it’s going to jump the circuit court, which suggests they’re going to rule the wrong way and they do this. That’s right, Mr. Prosecutor. You’re right. Let me tell you what can and should happen. The minute Joe Biden leaves office. If there’s another administration, a Republican administration, they should indict him. For what he’s done on the southern border, for all the federal laws he violated on the southern border and all the foreseeable violence. This is the argument that the prosecutors making would trump all the foreseeable violence that occurred day after day, week after week, month after month, when he violated federal immigration laws, when he obstructed them, when he defied them. With the rate, the sex trafficking, the murder. They’re helping, at least in our communities. That’s number one. But here’s even bigger. Number two. The ranchers, the small businesses. People who have been physically harmed. Family members of those who’ve been killed or sold into sex slavery. You will all now have a civil cause of action. Because the president is not protected for the decisions he made while president. And we have these rulings. Another one. And today, New York. But he’s not protected from civil prosecution yet. A ruling in D.C.. That the president United States, has not protected. And so they’re not going to dismiss these charges brought by a police officer, two or others, in the January six case, which of course, Trump had nothing to do with. But it doesn’t matter. They’re setting the precedent that these civil cases can go forward. So I’m telling you here, all 14 and a half million listening. Any of you who have been directly harmed. In some material way as a result. Who? Joe Biden breaking federal immigration law based on the precedent that has been set in the last two and a half years by the federal courts. Many federal courts. You all have a cause of action against Joe Biden. There will be hundreds, if not thousands, of lawsuits brought against Joe Biden. They’ve opened Pandora’s box. They will financially break Joe Biden. They will financially break to the Biden family while they’re chuckling and sneering over there on the Morning Joe because they have no IQ, not even a low IQ because they’re stupid, unhinged, obsessed hacks. They’re phony legal analysts all over cable TV, the former federal prosecutors all over cable TV. You have opened the door. And if the court doesn’t shut that door. If it not only keeps it open, but gives it its imprimatur. The country will change forever and all hell will break loose. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
Just to show you how horrendous and rogue like this Jack Smith is, too, is Trump’s phone. Here’s Trump’s phone and he’s pulling images off the phone, his website visits off the phone, who he spoke to, off the phone and all these other things. This is the next president who’s not even charged with a legitimate crime. So the treatment of a former prisoner like this is so damn appalling. It’s contemptible. And they want us to railroad the case. And he is the perfect judge who was forced to put the case on hold until the Supreme Court rules. You know why she did that today. Let me be the first to explain this to you. You know why she did that today. Any idea, Mr. Producer, why she did that today? She’s claiming she had no choice. No, she did that today to put pressure on the Supreme Court to take the case quickly. To make a determination quickly. She says, okay. Court You took the case. You’ve asked the defense to give their reply. The Mr. Prosecutor over here. So I’m going to hold up this case till you resolve it. And so she’s giving. A talking point or two. To the justices on the court who are going to say, look at this, the whole thing is held up. We’re going to decide this quickly. We can’t just wait for the appeals court because after the appeals court, it will be appealed to us. But you get my point. The whole thing is strategic, even with the judge. To put pressure on the court to take the case, number one, and to rule quickly. Number two, on a case of such constitutional and political magnitude. Let’s see if they go along. Let’s see if it’s the. If it’s a court like the Korematsu Court of the Dred Scott Court or the Plessy versus Ferguson Court or the court. There was more than happy to turn the country inside out and upside down to accommodate an administration. Let’s see if that happens. But the only cases I can think of. But there’s others. And we’ll head impeachment next hour. But there’s other things I want to hit. Two really breaking things. I have a wonderful opportunity for you. I’m going to mention next hour we’re going to deal with with impeachment and we’re going to deal with a lot of other stuff going on that’s very, very important. I’ll be right back.
