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

Thank you for listening and my sincere appreciation to our brothers and sisters at Hillsdale for their great sponsorship.

He's here. Now broadcasting from the underground command post. Deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non-distrib building.

We once again make contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.

Hello, America. Mark Levin, our numbers 877-381-3811-877-3813811.

Not a lot happened with Putin and Biden, quite frankly. We'll circle back to that later. It's certainly nothing worth leading.

I don't think. But I woke up this morning to a story. All the headlines. Congressional gold medal vote.

All the officers who defended the Capitol in January 6th, 21 Republicans voted no. And the media are very upset about this.

The media are very upset about this. Now let's step back. The media have spent over a year trashing law enforcement in this country.

Every reprobate, imaginable, misgrant, malcontent, whether professors or otherwise, members of Black Lives Matter, brought on TV to tell us how bad the cops are.

Except for, apparently, the Capitol Hill police. Because those police deserve a congressional gold medal.

Not the police who were trying to defend the Portland federal building. Not the police who tried to defend their own precincts in every city in this country virtually.

Not the park police and the secret service who defended the White House from attacks on the White House. No, no. They don't deserve anything except to be trashed.

And I remember what took place in Portland. And I remember what Pelosi and Clyburn had to say. The number one and number three Democrats in the house who now want to hand out gold medals.

And I want to remind you, because was only one year ago, June 2020, when Nancy Pelosi compared federal law enforcement that was trying to protect a federal courthouse from an insurrection, a violent armed insurrection stormtroopers.

Cut 15 go. I said they acted like stormtroopers and they did. And my colleagues have said that as well. What is I'm an organizer. That's how I came into all of this.

Chair of the California Democratic Party. And peaceful protest is who we are and what we do. And do some other people come along and try to disrupt. Yes.

But you don't stand in people acting like stormtroopers into the scene and evoking even more even more on ease and unrest.

I see.

So the men and women in uniform trying to protect that courthouse, day in and day under attack physical violent attack by Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

They're acting like stormtroopers. They don't get gold medals. Not a congressional gold medal. No, there's stormtroopers. They're Nazis. That's what stormtroopers are Nazis.
