MARK LEVIN (HOST): Should Donald Trump get elected, he should pardon himself from everything Biden, Garland, and Smith are throwing at him during the course of this campaign. Moreover, although I have concurred with those who argue that a president cannot pardon himself respecting non-federal charges -- in other words, that's not his bailiwick -- nonetheless, he should assert the supremacy clause, mister producer, and pardon himself from state and local prosecutors' charges or any convictions launched against him during the course of this federal campaign. And then sort it out.
I mean, I don't know why the left, in promoting their autocracy and tyranny, their burn everything down, baby, I don't know why that's acceptable, but defending yourself by using whatever tools might be available is not. I don't buy that anymore. I just don't. I sit here and I try and mull over what's taking place and what can be done. I mean, it's very difficult when you're dealing with lawlessness and the enshrinement of lawlessness by courts as well as the participant in the justice system. And so that's why I'm trying to figure out ways to get out of the box. It's all new territory, but Trump is not required to accept what is being done to him by the Democrat Party.
So, again, should Trump get elected, he should pardon himself from everything Biden, Garland, Smith, are throwing at him during the course of this campaign. Everything. And although I've concurred with those who argue that a president cannot pardon himself respecting non--federal charges, I'm having second thoughts about this. I really am, under the circumstances. And they ought to be tested. Let them chase Trump. Let them chase the law for once. Why not? I really believe it. Boy, oh boy, mister producer, I'm gonna take a lot of hits, aren't I? Among the corrupt Democrat party media for the things I'm saying and posting this evening, aren't I? Oh, well, I'm sorry -- not. They're the enemy. You're gonna have to get used to that fact.
