On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show, Liz Cheney is positioning herself as a Republican in order to sabotage Donald Trump insisting that Trump has no place attending CPAC. Cheney is affable, however, her autocratic position on Trump is wrong. Then, Tiger Woods is an example of American exceptionalism in our society. Woods’ career is an American success story that exemplifies how hard work merits the accolades he’s garnered, not his race. Later, Jewish people are under attack in New York City and throughout our culture. Anti-Semitic tropes, and those that utter them, are becoming more frequent in today’s media and entertainment as well as in key government positions. NBC’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ and one of their dramas ‘Nurses’ partook in a mockery of the Jewish people and their faith this week and the media is silent. Afterward, Andrew Cuomo has been accused by a former staffer of sexual harassment, which is a credible allegation just like the allegations made against Joe Biden by Tara Reade. What Biden allegedly did doesn’t come close to what Cuomo did, so why was the media silent on Biden?

Rough transcript of Hour 1

Hour 1 Segment 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 and we’d 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 Woods 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 hell, 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 it was he impaired, was he impaired, was he impaired? What’s that all about? Well, you remember in Jupiter Island, he was OK, that’s Jupiter Island. Why are you assuming he’s impaired now? He’s gone through rehab. He got caught on painkillers. The poor guy’s had a lousy back for God knows how long. I don’t even know the man, it’s beside the point, I don’t have to know the man. I look at people who excel in our society. To excel. And that’s something to be impressed about, success is an important thing, we don’t we don’t even in this country anymore. We do, but most people are a lot of people, they don’t even look at success anymore. It’s all about egalitarianism and redistribution of wealth and class warfare and racial equality or racial equality and honor and white supremacy and on. How about merit? How about merit? And when we see somebody. Who has succeeded on merit? Wildly succeeded like almost nobody before him, and there’s a handful of people like this in sports. Not maybe 10 or 12, but you get the point. It draws our attention. That’s a good thing. Tiger Woods is a tremendous athlete and golfer because he’s Tiger Woods, not because of anything else. Because of merit. Merit, he goes on that golf course, as do the others, he goes on that golf course and it’s him against the world. It’s not even a team sport. He goes on that golf course unless they’re, you know, doing one of those things with the British or whatever, but I’m saying day in and day out. You have to look inside your own mind and your own ability. Deep down, in order to accomplish in that sport. Now, he may have a team that advises him, and I’m not talking about that when he’s on the golf course. It’s him against the world. Many of you play golf. I can’t do it anymore. Not that I was any good because of my back. But that said. So. All these. Victories that he’s had, and it’s like Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer and some of the other all these victories he had. He earned. And he deserved and that’s why I. Have such respect for the man, I’m not talking about what he did in his personal life. Apparently that’s all been cleaned up. I’m talking about why we look at him. We don’t look at him because of what he did in his personal life. We look at him for what he does on the golf course. And he excels and has excelled in the past. That period of like 15 years, 10 or 15 years, we’ve never seen a golfer like this ever, ever. Him against the world. A golf club and a little ball. Based on merit, based on skill. His success. He’s a perfect example. And what we think and we talk about all the time. In a colorblind society, in a merit based society. Well, if you’re good enough, you will succeed. If you’re motivated enough, you will succeed. In his case, it’s athletics and it’s golf and look, everybody can’t be a superstar no matter what you’re doing, but you can’t succeed. You can be successful. They’ve always tried to draw him into racial discussions, they’ve always and he won’t do it, he won’t participate in it. He won’t do it, he won’t do the LeBron James, he just won’t do it. And yet he’s a stellar example to young people. Black, Asian, all young people. He’s a stellar example. Of a fantastic success story. And now we hear he may never play golf again. Isn’t that worth mentioning? ESPN Tiger Woods recovering from lengthy surgery to repair significant injuries to his right leg, I’ll say he’s lucky to have his leg. When I read this, Tiger Woods is recovering from a lengthy surgery to repair what a doctor said Tuesday night where significant orthopedic injuries to his right lower extremity suffered in a single car rollover crash hours earlier. As part of a statement on official Twitter account, Dr. Anish Mahajan of Harvard UCLA Medical Center updated the famed golfer’s condition, saying in part, the woods had multiple open fractures. You know, an open fracture is. That means the bone broken went through the skin. To his lower right leg, and he had a rod placed in his tibia and screws and pins inserted in his foot and ankle during an emergency surgery, so they had to put them back together again, his right leg, literally. And as an aside. This is the greatness of the American medical and health system. The greatness of the medical system in America. My in-laws, my mother in law. And passed father in law. They had a terrible car accident in France. A truck hit them head on across the median and hit them head on. The French health care system is a disaster, government run health care system is a disaster, the people who worked in the system wide disaster. My wife and others had to do everything they could to get them to the American hospital in Paris. Too often when we listen to these politicians about redistribution of wealth and race and we don’t appreciate what we have in this country. In 98 percent of the world, Tiger Woods would have died, he would have been at the bottom of that that valley, and that would have been the end of it. He certainly wouldn’t have his leg. So three cheers to the American medical system. Communist, I don’t even know how to pronounce it, communicated open fractures affecting both the upper and lower portions of the tibia and fibula bones. I know what those are were stabilized by inserting a rod into the tibia tibia. Semhar, the chief medical officer and interim CEO at Harbor UCLA. Additional injuries to the bones of the foot and ankle were stabilized with a combination of screws and pins. Trauma to the muscle and soft tissue of the leg required surgical release of the covering of the muscles to relieve pressure due to swelling. A commando unit had fractured means the bone is broken into more than two pieces, open means a break in the skin. Woods, 45, was awake, responsive, recovering in his hospital room, according to the statement. The update of his condition came almost 15 hours after the accident. Now, this is what I’m getting at. This is ESPN. Authorities said there was no immediate evidence that Woods was impaired. Now, there was no evidence that Woods was impaired. And if they find evidence that Woods was impaired, they can report it. But why do they keep bringing that up? There’s no evidence that a parrot flew into the driver’s seat either. They check for odor of alcohol or other signs that he was under the influence of a substance but did not find any. And that’s a two sentences. Now, according to Vilanova Woods vehicle, a midsize SUV appeared to first make contact with the median, then one across the two southbound lanes, it hit a curb hit trees rolled over several times, with the vehicle ultimately settling several hundred feet from the road. There were no skid marks, no evidence of braking and whether it was not a factor. I think he did that it was a take turn. He didn’t know there would be a tight turn. He’s not apparently familiar with the road. You can be gone 45 miles an hour, which is still pretty fast, and the speed limit there and missed the turn. Or maybe you going 50 or 55 slightly over the average, the speed limit, I should say, and have difficulty. I mean, I can tell you, I don’t do 45. You do 45, Mr. Producer. Let’s not go there, he says. Anyway, we wish him all the best, and I think he’s in the best of hands, certainly among the best of hands. Thank God for that hospital and those professionals. Thank God for the American medical system. And we would love to see Tiger Woods back in health. He’s lucky to be alive. No question about it. That accident when I saw that, those pictures on TV, I thought to myself, good lord, who survives that? There weren’t other cars involved, lucky, but they hit trees and so forth. People usually break their necks or break their backs or something horrific. So God save them. And I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 2

You realize how little we celebrate success in this country. It’s amazing thing. You know, when I was a kid, the kids wanted to grow up to be millionaires. They wanted to grow up to be famous. They wanted to grow up to be senators or president. Today, they want to grow up to do what? To be activists, to change the country. Everybody has a chip on their shoulder. Everybody has a chip on their shoulder. They think if they’re not successful, it’s because of somebody else and they think if they are successful, that they’re still maltreated. Because of. Some issue, whether it’s race or whatever it is. I look at this country. I think to myself, is there another place on the face of the Earth where anybody would want to live, anybody in this country would want to live? It’s clear that the left hates this country, has no intention of leaving. You know, there are experiments out there, experiments out there going on as I speak with human beings for radical egalitarianism, Marxism, democratic socialism, government run health care, all these things are going on out there. All you have to do is pick a country you like and go. All through Western Europe, they’re destroying themselves. But if you’re really a true believer, really, really a true believer, who’s stopping you from going to North Korea, communist China. Who’s stopping you from going to Cuba or Venezuela? I mean, this in all seriousness. We have these human experiments going on. With this this this neo Marxism, this radical progressivism with the centralized autocracy where they attack capitalism and private property rights and redistribute wealth. In fact, that’s like 80 percent of the face of the earth. This is one of the few places. Which up until now, and I mean up until now, has resisted it. I can’t think of another place on the planet. That is more diverse than the United States of America and becoming more diverse every day. I can’t think of another place on the planet where people from all the rest of the planet are trying to enter. And yet listen to what they say about us. Listen to what they say about the American people. Listen to what they say about the majority of the American people. A complete disconnect. All right, we’ve got a lot more I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 3

It seems like Liz Cheney is going to be a rash on the inner thigh of the conservative movement in the Republican Party. She now tries to position herself as Mrs. Armis conservative. I liked Lynne Cheney. I don’t like what she’s doing and what she’s become, to be perfectly honest, I like Dick Cheney and her and her mother as well. But I guess that’s come to an end now. Because Liz Cheney now is on a mission. To sabotage. Donald Trump in the sabotage, the millions and millions of people who supported him. She is deigned that he has no role in the Republican Party, he should not go to CPAC and I’m thinking to myself. What an autocrat. Who are you to make decisions about him or us or anybody else, for that matter? And I blame the Republican conference in the House. For electing her as the number three, even though she stabbed everybody in the back and her statement was a flat out lie, incidentally, flat out lie, let me be blunt. If I honestly thought Donald Trump incited an insurrection against the government, if I thought he had he had incited an insurrection against all I believe in as somebody who has preached and embraced and studied the constitution his entire life. Do you think I’d be defending Donald Trump? Not for a damn minute. If I thought anybody was inciting an insurrection against our government. They would be enemy number one, so I don’t take a back row or second place to Lynne Cheney or anybody else. This isn’t about party politics for me, this isn’t about a cult of personality for me. It’s about the truth. It’s about the truth of what took place on January six, what took place before January 6th in some of these states in violation of our federal constitution. It’s the truth about what took place at the White House, at the federal courthouse in Portland, in all our major cities. The damage that was done to people who are harmed, the cops who were assaulted, people who were killed. It’s about the truth. Now, I could do what a king singer does or a Kasich does or Chris Christie does or all the rest of them so concerned about how they’re viewed by the same media who hate our guts. But I can’t live my life that way, and most of you can’t either. There was no incitement for anything by Trump, let alone an insurrection. And so, as far as I’m concerned, Liz Cheney is a propagandist. A propagandist. She’s not righteous, she’s not independent, she’s not strong. She’s Romney in a dress. Now, they’re at a press conference today, the Republican leadership, you have McCarthy Scarless. And Cheney, she’s number three and, you know, desperately she wants to run the the House of Representatives, what a disaster. Liz Cheney had a problem with Trump. When Trump did not embrace her approach to foreign policy and national security. Donald Trump is not Dick Cheney. And yet what Donald Trump did with respect to China is a thousand times more than Bush and Cheney ever did. Ever. What Donald Trump did to bring peace to the Middle East is a thousand times more than Bush and Cheney ever did. What Donald Trump did to deal with Iran was a thousand times more important and effective than what Bush and Cheney ever did. What Donald Trump did to build up NATO. To force these European countries to put more into their own defense, into the defense system is more than Bush and Cheney ever did. What Donald Trump did to rebuild the military and pour money into the military and build morale into the United States military is more than Bush and Cheney ever did. And Trump is no hawk. I’m more of a hawk, but he’s no hawk, he’s a man with common sense. And the outcomes were far superior than under Bush Cheney. While they wanted more troops in Syria, well, he didn’t. Well, they wanted more troops in Iraq. Well, he didn’t. And you know what, it turns out Trump is right. He pulled out most of our troops out of both those countries, and it hasn’t harmed us. The danger now is Biden. Biden is capitulating to the Islama Nazi regime in Tehran, he’s capitulating to the genocidal regime in Beijing. He’s capitulating to the iron fisted fascists in Moscow. They talk about Trump currying favor with the dictators and it’s Biden who’s currying favor with the dictators. And now we have this Liz Cheney. And I hope they primary her and I hope she loses. Because at this time in our country, we need a strong, solid, conservative, resolute party, not McConnell, not Liz Cheney. Mark, what can we do? This is what we must do. Here’s a perfect example. Hat tip, Daily Caller, a reporter shouting out to the Republican leaders, McCarthy, Cheney, cut one go on the leadership, especially Congressman, do you believe President Trump should be speaker? Former President Trump should be speaking as you have done. So let’s stop. So a left wing reporter asks McCarthy and Cheney if President Trump should be speaking at CPAC this weekend. With all due respect, McCarthy and Cheney have no say in that. It’s the Conservative Political Action Committee. I don’t believe Liz Cheney was invited to speak. So it’s not their place, either of them to say yes or no. But McCarthy gives the right answer. I know some of you don’t like McCarthy, I like McCarthy until he proves otherwise. Until it proves otherwise. Go ahead, yeah. All right, so McCarthy said there you couldn’t hear yes, he should. So the reporter says, well, Congresswoman Cheney, go ahead. That’s up to seatback, I’ve been clear my views about President Trump and the extent to which extent which fell in January six, I don’t I don’t believe that he should be playing a role in the future. The party of. And that I know she doesn’t believe he should play a role in the future of the party or the country. Let me think if I should go here. Let me think if I should go here. You know, Liz, I will tell you this. He was a terrible thing. When the vet went into that Capitol building, got shot and she died, as far as I know, that’s the only person who died as a result of direct action like that, the others who died. An officer died of a stroke, it turns out The New York Times and the other media, as we talked about here now for some time, have lied about that. He was hit over the head with a fire extinguisher. No, he wasn’t. His mother came out the other day and said, no, he had a stroke. We’re still waiting for the government to tell us that. But for some reason, they’re holding back. I guess they like the National Guard. They’re. And the other people who died there, the civilians, they died from various things, heart attack and so forth. And Trump wasn’t even involved in any of it, he didn’t sign anything. But we lost a lot of beautiful Americans. In Iraq, didn’t we, Mr. Producer? With weapons of mass production, we were told. And it was your father who pushed hard, Liz. I’m just saying. You’re throwing an awful lot of mud around. You’re way out of line, you’re not righteous, you’re a cheap shot artist. And it really is repulsive. Absolutely repulsive to me. I want to address something else. I want to talk to you about something else. The vast majority of listening to this program are not Jewish. The vast majority of you listening to this program are Christian. And I want to thank you, all of you. We have a magnificent country because it’s based on Judeo-Christian beliefs. It’s based on the Western and. It’s based on the Reformation, it’s not based on Marxism, it’s not based on regressive ism, it’s not based on any of those -isms. And we talk a lot here about history and so forth. But there’s something that’s concerning me a lot, I’ve touched on it before, but I want the live in audience, regardless of your religion, your background, your lack of religion. I want to talk to you about this. I am getting very concerned. I’m very, very concerned that with the rise of the Marxist left within the Democrat Party, within the culture. The rise of the Marxist left within the media, certainly within academia. That now we’re looking for scapegoats. Now we’re looking for scapegoats. Christians suffer as a result of this. Others suffer as a result of this. But as somebody who has studied history quite thoroughly, this is what I do. People say, what’s your hobby? That’s my hobby. And when you look at World War Two, World War two wasn’t even 100 years ago. The Holocaust wasn’t even 100 years ago. I’m getting nervous. I’m getting nervous when I see the mayor of New York City, which has the greatest population of Jews in the country, targeting Orthodox Jews all through the pandemic. Not Muslims, not black lives matter, not antifa celebrating them. I get nervous. When I see the rioting in L.A. that took place in the targeting of the Jewish area and the synagogues and so forth, wouldn’t there be media attention at all? I get nervous. I’m just being honest with you. When I see the extent to which the Democrat Party. Embraces. The Palestinian Authority, even Hamas in many respects. Constantly trying to force Israel to make agreements that are going to result in Israel’s destruction or demise, when I see them beefing up, muscling up the regime in Iran, which is clearly on the way to having nuclear missiles. And abandoning what Trump has done. I get very nervous. But when I see our culture, when I see professors. When I see commentators on TV now openly, when I see. Comedy skits openly. Or soap opera skits openly. Openly using these these anti-Semitic tropes, and again, I don’t expect everyone to understand what I’m saying, I’m just pointing out I get nervous. When I look at the Democrat Party and I look at Omar and Talib and see and Pressley. And what’s her name from St. Louis, what’s her name, Corey Baker is something I can’t remember her name, Corey Busch. It’s something to worry about. Then when I look at the Biden appointments. The Biden appointments. There have never been worse appointments to foreign policy and national security positions as far as the United States is concerned, that under Joe Biden, worse than under Obama, but he’s literally bringing people in, including in the civil rights division, the Justice Department, who have a long history. Of Jew hatred. I know this isn’t the Jewish hour. I got it, I’m just I’m just you’re my friends. You’re my family. I’m just sharing this with you. When we come back, I want to play for you. Comments that were made on Saturday Night Live. I’ve thought about this. I want to play for you an episode of nurses on NBC comment that was made there. And nobody gives a damn. Nobody gives a damn. You don’t hear any athletes talking about this, you won’t hear any broadcasters talk about this in sports, you won’t hear any league presidents talk about it. You won’t hear this discussed on CNN or MSNBC. It won’t be carried by the nightly news. So I need to bring it up. I’ll be right back.

Hour 1 Segment 4

Fortunately, I didn’t manage the clock properly segments very short, and you don’t have to be Jewish to be concerned and appreciate what I’m talking about. And I will play these two clips after the top of the hour. One is from Saturday Night Live and the other one is from nurses. They’re both NBC. There’s something wrong with NBC, just like there’s something wrong with The Washington Post in The New York Times in this regard. And it’s not the first time, it’s not the last time there are multiple times over a period of decades. We’re going to get it out of the stuff going on here to. Amazon, what it’s doing on the sale of books now, the California. I don’t know, here’s a perfect example, California, look, I’m from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And I live in Virginia. The most beautiful state in the country, to me, maybe not to you, to me is California. And they’ve destroyed it. California’s economy used to be vibrant and robust, it used to have a very, very diversified economy. Everybody wanted to go to California, go west, go west. You want to be an entrepreneur. That was the place to go. It was a stable government, it was a limited government opportunity galore, then the Democrats took over. They seized power. They seized control. They made sure would be a one party state through immigration, through election law changes and other things they did, just like they want to do nationwide. They’ve taken the greatest state in the country. Look, it’s not parochial with me. They’ve taken the greatest state in the country and absolutely destroyed it like they wish to do to the greatest country on the face of the planet.
