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.

Hello, America. Mark Levin. Our numbers, 87, 7, 3, 8, 1, 3, 8, 1, 1, 8, 7, 7, 3, 8, 1, 3, 8, 1, 1, 1, now.

Most of you have been listening to this program a long time, but people come and go, and some people, this is the first time they've heard me.

We like to jump into the heavy issues. We like to jump into them in a very significant way, but now and then.

There's other things we like to talk about, too, or we'll listen to music, if I happen to like a song.

I'm not doing a sports show. I'm not doing a sports show. Maybe I should do a sports show, but I'm not doing a sports show, and yet the Tiger Wood story is a significant story for this country.

He's arguably, and I don't even think there's that much of an argument. Well, maybe there is, but he's one of the greatest athletes of all time, one of the greatest golfers of all time.

I'm 63 years old, and yet I can remember him as a kid with his father. I can remember how he came through as an amateur.

What a pleasure to watch him, how exciting. And so when I talk about somebody like Tiger Woods, it's not because I think he's better than everybody else as a human being.

It's because for our culture, for our society, it's something of not just interest. It's for a lot of people, it's important in their lives.

And the other problem is this, two and a half million people die every year in this country. I can't talk about all of them.

It's a horrible thing. I know because I recently lost my parents.

But in the case of Tiger Woods, I just want to briefly talk about this a little bit. People keep saying, and they keep insisting the doctors and the law enforcement that he wasn't impaired.

Why do they keep saying that? He wasn't impaired. Why do they assume he was impaired? They said he wasn't impaired.

So why do they keep saying they keep insisting he wasn't impaired? What does that mean? I've been on that road. I know what it's like. It's a bad road. It's a tough road.

You don't even have to be going that fast to miss a corner and go over. I don't know if he was or he wasn't.

But the point is, you don't say was he impaired? Was he impaired? Was he impaired? What's that all about? Well, you remember in Jupiter Island, he was like, okay, that's Jupiter Island. Why are you assuming he's impaired now?

He's gone through rehab. He got caught on pain killers. The poor guys had a lousy back for God knows how long.
