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

Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution, where learning is prized

and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.

Thank you for listening, and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.

He's here. 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've once again made contact with our leader, Mike. Love them.

What a day today when Joe Biden tells the world, you know what, world, we're here for you. America, not so much. America first is over. Thanks to Joe Biden. The world will be vaccineed before we are or vaccinated. I think is the appropriate term. Good evening.

Welcome to the Mark Lavin show. The great one is off tonight, but it's me, your fellow Lavinite Rich, Ziole from Marksome Town of Philadelphia, where I host a morning show on WPHT. Great to be with you, Mark as he told you last night is having surgery, but he will be back on Monday. We wish him well. God bless.

And of course, this has been a very tough week for Mark losing a very, very dear friend of his to yours to mine to all of us in Rush Limbaugh. Very special tribute this coming Sunday night on life, Liberty and the VIN on the Fox News Channel, eight o'clock, Mark's guests will be Sean Hannity.

And they will talk about Rush Limbaugh and his life and the incredible contribution that rush gave to all of us by really creating this genre of radio, which should not exist before him. And bringing talk radio to the masses, saving AM radio.

I mean, I wouldn't have a career with Adam. That's for sure, because I wouldn't be able to do this had Rush Limbaugh not come around. So look, tune into that Sunday night. You won't be disappointed, of course, and Mark's own unique way. He's known Rush for a long time. Obviously going all the way back to the F Lee LeVin days. I can't believe that it's almost a year since I was with Mark in person in Philadelphia, because we had an event together.

First weekend in March, right before COVID hit, although now we know COVID was here for a long time. The Wall Street Journal story today is how they knew that COVID wasn't China going back as far back as December. And of course China lies about everything. So that's really no Vembaugh. They think maybe as early back as September.

Oh, and here's the thing. It did not come from the wet market. I mean, if you believe that the only way it could have would have been if somebody from the lab went to the wet market and ordered something and then spread it there. But China is not being honest with the World Health Organization. They're lying again. They're still lying to the world about what happened. The origins of this virus. And we still have no idea exactly how it started.

Though I have my suspicions as I'm sure you do as well. The number tonight, 877 3813811, 877 3813811. You can also tweet me tonight at Rich Zioly, RICH, ZEO LI.

Joe Biden is failing miserably as president on three fronts ready? Number one schools, number two vaccines and number three, the Constitution.

Let's go through all three real quick. First of all, on schools, can anyone explain to me why this 100 day pledge to get schools back? We've we're all just going to pretend like it never happened.

Like he never made the pledge. He just never said it. This was his campaign. He campaigned on this. He literally campaigned on three pillars, one of them being schools being back. Everybody back in the first 100 days. Are your kids back?

I'm very fortunate. My kids have been in school. They're very young though. You know, they're kindergarten and preschool. So I'm lucky. But most of my friends, their kids have been at their kitchen table for months. Philly schools.

Have not been back since the pandemic started. They were supposed to go back on Monday. Guess what? And I know this will shock you. They're not going back to school on Monday.

I know you're just a shocked as I am to find gambling in here. I know. But here's the thing. Joe Biden failed on that number two. He's failing on the vaccines. You remember, it was going to be a massive surge of vaccines. Well, it's a screw up.

And he's still blaming president Trump. There was an article I read today. This is amazing. You know, if you're a senior citizen, signing up on these various state websites to get your vaccine is very complicated and difficult.

I really feel bad for people who are not particularly computer savvy because I kind of am computer savvy. And I had a tough time figuring out it's sign up for the vaccine, which I won't be able to get to leave in May.

So I'm just thinking of somebody 65 or 70 and they're actually in that target group. It should be vaccinated first and foremost.
