   On Friday’s Mark Levin show, yes, President Trump could pardon   
   himself and his family. What’s important is what the Constitution   
   says in Article 2 Clause 1 – the President shall have power to grant   
   reprieves or pardon for grievances against the US. There are no   
   limitations on the text except for cases of impeachment. Regardless   
   of how the move may look politically, the question isn’t a political   
   one. Rather, it’s simply about what’s in the Constitution. After   
   that, Orrin Hatch was sent out to attack Mike Lee. If you follow   
   Orrin Hatch, Paul Ryan, and Mitch McConnell’s line of thinking,   
   conservatives like Lee are Obamacare Republicans, which is   
   completely false. The political knives are out from the elite and   
   establishment Republicans to get Mike Lee. In addition, Both   
   Republicans and Democrats are lying about healthcare. Republicans   
   lie that they are going to repeal and Democrats lie that Republicans   
   actually mean to repeal Obamacare. Also, Republicans have lost the   
   debate over healthcare because they have not engaged in the debate.   
   62% of American people now support the idea that the federal   
   government must provide healthcare. This is a fight over ideas. If   
   we lose the fight over first principles to progressives and their   
   ideology, we will not recover this nation. It is not a battle   
   between Republican and Democrat, but is about Americanism vs.   
   Progressivism. Later, 3 Arab terrorists shot 2 Israeli police   
   officers dead in the Temple Mount area. Now Israel has put metal   
   detectors there for anyone entering, and the Palestinians are in an   
   uproar. Mahmoud Abbas and Muslim leaders are encouraging people to   
   protest against the Israeli security forces until the metal   
   detectors are removed. This is just a pretext to kill more Israelis.   
   Adam Kredo calls in to explain why the State Dept is unsure why   
   Palestinian terrorists kill Israelis.
