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

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, 877381, 3811, 877381, 3811. Hope you had a great weekend.

But here we go. I have to deal with this first. As you know, I've been extremely critical of Anthony Fauci.

I was skeptical of him early on, but I was respectful. But now I think we see a man who truly is narcissistic and ego-monicle.

A man who has been so wrong so often about this pandemic that it's hard to keep count.

A man who's on TV, it would appear for most of the last year, rather than his desk studying the data. I don't know how you do both.

When I saw what happened in New York City, refrigerated trucks are now being mobilized as big shift works.
