Election icons and youre the
election icons and youre the
winner and youre, going to
say no hes, not the winner and
bring these lawsuits on the mail
in ballots,
lets, say: youre behind and you
say: wait a minute:
youve got millions of ballots
out there.
You guys put this process in
place. Now we want to wait and
see
then theyre going to call you a
dictator so either way they
seem to be setting up a
narrative but arent they
basically undermining the
integrity of the electoral
process.
President Trump look, they know
it. Doesnt work were talking
about numbers like thirty percent, and forty percent
off
were not talking, one percent, which is
too much because you can lose by
one percent.
One percent is a lot but theyre off by
zero percent. Sometimes
ballots are missing. Theres
fraud
PETE President Trump with Mark
Levin, and you can catch
that entire interview tonight,
800 on the Fox NEWS Channel on
a number of topics and here to
react to that, as well as the
news of the day
Mark Levin host of life,
Liberty and Levin author of the
unfreedom of the prpress mark.
Thank you so much for being here
yesterday. After our show,
we have a pitch meeting and
everyone said would do we need
to hear from tomorrow and
universally it was mark. Levin
give us your take with this
opening in the Supreme
Court. What should the president
do and where is this going to go?
Well its a very strange
thing, this Democrat Party?
First of all, they hate the
constitution because they
spent the last several months
pulling down statues of the
founders and saying that the
constitution was adopted by
slave holders and then they wave
it around to justify their
destruction of the constitution.
Lets be very, very clear.
Let me read you a quote:
thats their job theres,
nothing in the constitution that
says the President stops being
president in his last year.
Eight is not a good number for
a body that sometimes
disagrees.
That was Ruth Bader Ginsburg
in two thousand and sixteen. But this seat
doesnt belong to Ruth Bader
Ginsburg. It doesnt belong to
anybody
its in the constitution and
the american people, and the
president has a say
now under our constitutional
system, as will has said- and you
both have said, the president
makes a nomination
now. What the Democrats want to
do is sabotage this entire
process.
Theres. An excellent piece
here is what is says twenty nine times
in american history. Youve heard
this because they are all
reading the same column. There
has been an open supreme court
vacancy in a presidential
election or a lame duck session
before the next presidential
inauguration.
Please listen, America. This is
important.
The president made a nomination
in all twenty nine cases.
George Washington did it three
times
John Adams. Did it Thomas
Jefferson? Did it Abraham
Lincoln? Did it Franklin
Roosevelt? Did it Dwight
Eisenhower? Did it Barack Obama?
Of course? Did it
twenty two of the forty four men to hold the
office face this situation
and now twenty three,
all twenty two made the decision to set
up a send it up whether or
not they had the votes in the
Senate. So in every single
instance, in a situation like
this, a president has made a
nomination.
Why?
Because its compelled by the
constitution? So when I
listen to Susan Collins and
Romney and LISA Murkowski and
the other Republicans who say
this be political, this be
unfair. They are failing
to uphold their oath to the
constitution of the United
States.
We dont take an other to the
Democrat Party.
We dont take an other to chuck
Schumer.
We didnt take an oath to Ruth
Bader Ginsburg.
God bless her one of the most
left wing political, active
justices in american history,
which is why left is freaking
out.
Also the american people
understand this.
The New York Post has a poll out
most Americans, regardless of
whether they are republican or
Democrat, believe the Senate
should move forward with
confirmation hearings for a
Supreme Court justice this year,
its a Marquette University law,
school poll, sixty seven percent of respondents
believe confirmation should
proceed in twenty twenty, while just thirty two percent
say no. That was conducted
September, 8 September fifteen, just
days before the passing of Ruth
Bader Ginsburg. So, according to
the Democrats, the whole country
should stop. The Supreme Court
should stop the president.
Shouldnt uphold the
constitution. The majority
in the Senate shouldnt uphold
the constitution because they
hope Joe Biden will be elected
president that they will take
the Senate
now. What are they threatening
to pack the court?
The last president, due to that
was Franklin. Roosevelt
do you know who stopped him?
The Democrat Congress, because
the Democrat Congress said
constitution before party
his own vice president worked
behind his back a former speaker
of the house to stop Franklin
Rotundas.
Today, Democrat after Democrat,
starting with Biden on down,
says theyre going to pack the
court. If the president of
the United States fails to
comply with the constitution and
if the Senate fails to comply
with the constitution,
so choosing not to full. This
vacancy be unprecedented in
american history, Democrat
Republican, Federalist, it
doesnt matter
this party, the Democrat Party,
is so far off the rails. It is
appalling.
What are they proposing?
They want to eliminate the
electoral college thats in
the constitution.
We talk about packing the
Supreme Court. My buddy Bong
Ino had an idea, and I,
like it,
you pack the court and when we
take over well add a few more
justices too. So you better be
careful what door youre opening
here
they want to overrule the state
and overwhelm the state voting
systems with mail. Daniel in
votes they know, will create all
kinds of chaos on election night
theyre telling Biden never
concede.
Hillary Clinton dont concede
under any circumstances.
They want to end the Senate
filibuster.
They want to add four Democrats
to the Senate from d dot C and
Puerto Rico.
The Democrat Party is the Party
of Antifa the Party of Black
lives matter.
You have Nancy Pelosi, calling
federal law enforcement storm
troopers.
You had jimclyburn talking about
federal law enforcement as gust
Apo. They were silent
for three months, while lawless
riots were taking place and now
theyre encouraging them.
You have Democrat spokesman for
former Clinton and Obama
officials saying out there you
do this. Not only will this
justice be illegitimate, but
were going to take to the
streets. So now we have a mob
and the mob has a home and its
called the Democrat Party and
im going to tell you something
this mob. One way or another
will be crushed
if theyre not crushed at the
voting booth, they will be
crushed otherwise, because what
they have in sight is not even
Donald Trump,
its our constitution,
you heard AOC.
She is a radical.
She is illiterate when it comes
to the constitution and she is
leading this party.
