On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, the U.S. Department of State is supposed to keep track of all Americans traveling abroad, which is why it is embarrassing that we do not know how many Americans were left behind in Afghanistan because they don’t know how many were there, to begin with. The level of incompetence and ideological policies from the Biden Administration is disgusting and has cost American lives. Also, Donald Trump has done more for Israel and Jews than any other President and is the polar opposite of President Biden, who is threatening to cut off sending arms to Israel in order to protect Hamas. Scores of Democrats vote against any resolution that would help Israel and condemn Palestinian terrorists because they support Hamas. Voting for the Democrat party means voting with the pro-Hamas protesters in our streets who want to see Israel wiped off the map. The anti-Semitic Democrats are finally being called out and they don’t like their anti-American and anti-Israel actions exposed, which is why they attack Trump and accuse him of what they are doing.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. Man, a Manischewitz lot going on and we’ll tackle all of it. First things first. Former general, I should say, retired General Mark Milley. Retired General Kenneth McKenzie. Both had a hearing today. Testifying about the surrender at the end of the. Afghanistan debacle. And they pointed the finger directly at Biden and Blinken. For making decisions. Contrary to what the Pentagon recommended, this is the same Biden and Blinken that are trying to destroy Israel. Netanyahu’s ability to defeat Hamas. These are insane, incompetent, stubborn individuals who are getting people killed. So first, I want you to listen to two clips and then I want to give you some additional information. Here is Molly at the hearing on the withdraw. How many Americans have been left behind in Afghanistan? How many Americans? Biden so concerned about Hamas and the Gazans, How many Americans were left behind in Afghanistan? Cat 19 go. But how many Americans are left behind? How many of our of our allies? And what has happened to them? Have they been beaten, killed, tortured? And secondly, about all the weapons that were left behind. There are reports that some of it has found its way to Hamas. I don’t know if that’s true. I know you did everything you could on the way out to destroy them. But many were intact and left in the hands of the Taliban. I can’t speak to the phone call. I don’t have any personal knowledge of that number of Americans. This was always an issue. The number of Americans, as John McKenzie said now of 77, it is suppose every ambassador in every country, the World Kitchen of 77 report, and they’re supposed to track the Americans, where they’re at, the phone numbers, address, etc. in the country. That was always a difficult number for us in the Department Defense to get a hold of. And I think it’s true at the tactical level, an operational level as well. And I’ll be candid, I don’t know the exact number of Americans that were left behind because the starting number was never clear. Same is true of at risk Afghans, SIVs, the commandos, other Afghans that serve with us. Those numbers varied so widely that they were quite inaccurate, as best I could tell at the time. So I would just say, I’m not sure even today about the accuracy of all those numbers. You know, this should turn your stomachs, every single one of us. The Department of State is supposed to know through its ambassador. But other instrumentalities how many Americans are in this place or that place. That’s why of passports. That’s why we have airlines keeping in for me. That’s why we have all kinds of ways of knowing at least a good number and their names. The level of incompetence of this administration and the level of ideologically driven policy decisions and the level of shoot from the hip Joe Biden decisions is disgusting and it costs lives, American lives. How many Americans were there? We don’t know. We don’t even know what we don’t know. Can’t even get a decent number. And you know what they did to them. You know, they brutalize them. The Islamists. The battery they believe was ordered. By Allah himself. I’ve heard Imam say this on memory. The gruesomeness, the sadistic type of attacks. How many of our people were left behind? We don’t know. Joe Biden never talks about it. Blinken never talks about it. All they ever talk about are the guys and citizens. They don’t talk about the Israeli citizens. They don’t talk about the Israeli IDF. They don’t talk about the American soldiers in Afghanistan, American soldiers who lost their lives. They don’t talk about any of it. Ever. Ever. And you bastards at MSNBC and CNN and The New York Times and The Washington Post, all the rest of you give them cover. Give them cover. Nobody holds this administration to account. Nobody. Nobody. Then there’s General Kenneth McKenzie, former CENTCOM commander. What about the withdrawal? AK surrender in Afghanistan. What do you make of that, General cut 20 go. I’d like to talk a little bit now about Abu Ghaith. It was a tragic event, one of many that have occurred over a 20 year engagement in Afghanistan. They were. And it remains my opinion that if there is culpability in this attack, it lies in policy decisions that created the environment of August 2021 in Kabul. Culpability and responsibility do not lie with the troops on the ground who performed magnificently. It is not lie with the platoon company or battalion commanders or the flag officers who oversaw operations on the ground in Kabul. The simple fact is this On the battlefield, even with good planning, tremendous execution by brave people on the ground, the enemy sometimes has success. To ignore this fact is to ignore the fundamental reality of the battlefield. If there’s fault, it lies in a policy decision that placed the joint force in this situation and exposed the force over time to the possibility of these kinds of attacks. We did not rely on the Taliban for our security. We use them as one tool among many to beef up our defensive posture. We avoided a number of potential anti-gay attacks, and I’m proud of the commanders and troops who prevented them. This is small comfort to those who lost loved ones. And I realize this. Nonetheless, what’s remarkable about Kabul is not that the tragedy of Abu Gate happened, but that many other attacks did not happen. Okay. Let me read to you from The New York Post. Two former top military commanders told lawmakers today that President Biden ordered the chaotic and deadly U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, despite warnings that it would precipitate the collapse of the Western backed government in Kabul and then waited too long to initiate the evacuation mission. I want you to keep that in mind while they’re threatening Netanyahu and demanding that he not destroy the Hamas battalions that are left demanding a cease fire demanded been summoned to the White House. Pretty come to Jesus moment. And we now know what that means is either you come with bended knee on bended knee or we are going to slash the armaments that you get and you must surrender Judea and Samaria to the Palestinian terrorists. Can you imagine the insanity? And it’s not the first time. What these former generals, what these retired generals are saying is we did not recommend these decisions. They came from the policy elements. It came from the White House, the National Security Council. They came from the State Department. That is. It came from Biden. It came from Sullivan. They came from Blinken, The Three Stooges. They don’t know how many Americans were left behind. Do they even talk about the American hostages that Hamas is holding? Why they give them hundreds of millions of dollars. Can I have to hear people say, Oh, Joe, by now, he’s so fat. Are you kidding me? Retired Army General Mark Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, former Marine General Kenneth McKenzie, ex-leader to the U.S. Central Command, appeared before the House Foreign Relations Committee in a bid to shed new light on the tragic pull out which both men oversaw. Million McKenzie have testified multiple times before in Congress about the withdraw. Tuesday’s voluntary appearances marked the first time they had done so since their retirements. In other words, now they can actually speak, leading lawmakers to believe they would speak more freely about what happened in the days and weeks before the calamity. Quote My personal analysis what it was that an accelerated withdraw would likely lead to the general collapse of the Afghan security forces, which it did, and the Afghan government, which it did, resulting in a large scale civil war reminiscent of the 1990s or a complete Taliban takeover. And that’s what they got. However, the retired general added Biden overruled his advice. Biden overruled his advice to keep several hundred troops in Afghanistan, claiming he was sticking to a plan set in motion by his predecessor, Donald Trump. Yet again. Donald Trump was right. Yet again, they try and trash Donald Trump yet again. Biden is the world’s arsonist, burning things down, burning things up. The advice was leave some troops behind. Don’t do this in such a desperate way. The government will collapse. The army out of fear will collapse. Exactly what happened. Trump has said over and over again, My plan did not permitted to happen this way. And he’s been lied about by the same media bastards a lie all the time. Milley added that he was not also that excuse. He was also not in favor of a unilateral withdrawal of U.S. forces. He said Because of my assessment of the associated costs and risks in doing so without a permanent cease fire and a power sharing agreement between the Taliban and the Afghan government. He said the fundamental tension facing the president, in fact two presidents, was that no one could satisfactorily explain when or even if those conditions would ever be met. And if we stayed indefinitely, an open war would likely begin with the Taliban again, with increased risk of additional casualties. Well, Miller’s analysis, the front end proved accurate when the Taliban overran all of Afghanistan, prompting the Biden administration to hurriedly launch the tragic August evacuation mission. This committee, says Michael McCaul, the chairman, learned that the State Department did not even request an emergency evacuation until after Kabul was surrounded by the Taliban in mid-August. As a result, the international airport was not secured until August 17, two days after Kabul fell. As the saying goes, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail and fail. They did. The generals told the committee the State Department waited too long to initiate a full scale noncombatant evacuation operation anyhow, which led to thousands of Afghans flooding Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport over the span of two weeks. Are you aware the decision to begin at any address with the Department of State, not the Department of Defense? McKenzie said it’s with them, but we could do nothing, nothing to commence the operation, the evacuation, until an NGO was declared, in other words. And so Blinken got off his ass. And did something. This is what John McCain man said is the most dangerous man imaginable. He’ll get people killed and he has. And he’s still doing it. McCall agreed with the general’s assessment, noting disturbing findings that the State Department leadership that would be blanket prohibited its employees from even uttering the word any. In other words, an emergency evacuation until as late as August of 2021. Too little, too late. And there’s God knows how many Americans there who are never going to get out, who probably been slaughtered. The evacuation mission was marred by the deaths of 170 Afghans, 13 U.S. service members at the cable airports. Abbey Gate on August 26, 20, 21, four days before the mission ended. Mackenzie said he would take the blame for the tragedy. I was the overall commander and I in Ireland bear full. A military responsible for what happened? No. Biden and Blinken. Full responsibility. SULLIVAN Since the end of the mission in Afghanistan, Republicans on the committee have pursued answers about how the US military could end a 20 year war in such a haphazard and bloody manner, leaving behind scores unknown numbers of Americans and Afghans who assisted Western forces over two decades. I’ll be candid, Milley said. I don’t know the exact number of Americans. You heard what he said. I’m not sure even today. Senator Chris Smith inquired about the fate of Afghans who served with the U.S., Milley answered, I think some were killed. I think some of the Afghans were tracked down that work with us, and I think some of them were killed. I’m certain some of them in pretty brutal ways. Some managed to escape through various means. Others have just laid low and are keeping their heads down. Melly said it was a strategic failure. The enemy occupied Kabul. The overthrow of the government occurred in the military. We supported for two decades. Faded away. To date, no Biden officials have been fired or otherwise held accountable for decisions made related to Afghanistan. As Biden and his allies insist the withdrawal was the right course of action. Extraordinary success, quote unquote, they said. And of course, the Democrats on the committee, led by morons like Gregory Meeks, agreed. An extraordinary success. Now, you think about Israel now in the context of what happened here and what they’re doing to Israel. Israel, whose back is against the wall. Netanyahu is well aware this They’re all well aware of it. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Wow. My goodness. Hugh Hewitt, Donald Trump said about Jews who vote for Democrats. Sounds like something I might have said, Mr. Peters, You know. You see, ladies and gentlemen, I told you the story about the event. But I attended with some family members about anti-Semitism in the Holocaust and the audience and how my wife and Colonel West. And Stuart Taylor, excuse me and others were there and. And how we’re about 500 people there. And when it came to criticizing the current administration, what they’re doing, 30 of them walked out. Well, now we have people like Dana Bash, Danny Douche, other Jewish people in the media, hardcore left wing Democrats. They’re very upset at Donald Trump. And so I want to I want to address this. We’ll be right back.

Segment 3
Nothing. President Trump said to my buddy Sebastian Gorka was anti-Semitic. Most of the people in the media who are attacking Donald Trump are the self-hating Jews and the anti-Semites, Gentile and Jewish. I want to read you something from the Torah. It’s one sentence. One sense. There are. As I said up to this, there are American Jews who are intent on destroying the state of Israel. Thomas Friedman. Antony Blinken. The Jewish hosts on CNN, the Jewish hosts on MSNBC. They’re the most radical elements. Some of them are Marxists. Some of them are just Democrat foot soldiers. But I’ve explained it again and again over the years that they are power hungry, power, the Democrat Party. That’s what they care about. Anything, and anyone that gets in the way of it must be destroyed. Imprisoned. A coup. Defamed. Smeared. Yes. This is all prophesized. Isaiah 4917. 4917. I quote Your destroyers and demolishes will emerge from you. Hear that, Mr. Morrison? Your destroyers and demolishes will emerge from you. The enemy from within. The George Soros types. The Dana Bash types. The. There are just so many. And so let’s begin by what Donald Trump said, which is not that different than what I said over the weekend to our buddy Sebastian Gorka. Gorka of the Salem Broadcasting Network. Cut one go. Could you explain why is it seemingly that this administration, including Chuck Schumer in the Senate, so hate the man that Israel chose as their prime minister? Why do the Democrats hate Bibi Netanyahu? I actually think they hate Israel. Yes, I don’t think they hate. I think they hate Israel and the Democrat Party hates Israel and the Democrat Party. If you remember when many Israeli representatives, including Netanyahu, when they came to the country trying, begging, begging at that time, President Obama, please don’t make the Iran nuclear deal, which is a disaster and was a disaster. And I ended it. But unfortunately, they didn’t do anything with the ending of it. I ended it and would have had a new deal made with Iran. It would have been good for everybody and there would have been no nuclear weapons. You know, they’re very close to getting a nuclear weapon right now. And once they have that, it becomes a different form of negotiation, a much more difficult negotiation. But I really believe they hate Israel and they also see a lot of votes. Don’t forget, when you see those Palestinian marches, even I am amazed at how many people in those marches and guys like Schumer see that. And to him as votes, I think it’s votes more than anything else, because he was always pro-Israel. He’s very anti-Israel. Now, any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion. They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel would be destroyed. You have Iran now making it a nuclear weapon. None of that would have happened with me. That’s a big thing with me. Iran was broke. So you have these Democratic commentators dressed up as journalists, Democrat guests dressed up as commentators. Saying that’s anti-Semitic. So here’s. Donald Trump trying to defend the state of Israel, trying to defend the Jews, telling them, as a non-Jew, how they how can you vote for these people who are destroying your religion, destroying your people, destroying your faith, and destroying the Jewish homeland? So Joe Biden in his his campaign put out that it’s anti-Semitic. CNN’s Dana Bash, who has a complete show at this point in my my view for Hamas, the Democrat Party. BIDEN they’re really all one and the same at this point. And I’ll tell you why. There’s no way you can hear these imams in Dearborn, a stand in throughout California, New Jersey, and the things that they’re saying, not all, but too damn many. About obliterating the Jews in this country and about Israel. And not report it unless you hate Israel. And of course, Dana Bash has not reported it. Jake TAPPER is not reported it. They don’t even have to do any work. It’s right there in the memory website. Wolf BLITZER is now reported. Andrea mitchell is not reported. And he’s 100% correct. Joe Biden threatening to cut off arms to Israel now. Oh, I’m going to vote for him. Then you’re a self-hating Jew. There’s self-hating Catholics. They’re self-hating Protestants. You’re there and that you’re a self-hating Jew. You’re literally voting with the people in the streets who are talking about exterminating the Jews, the river to the sea. You’re casting your vote with them for the same party and the same candidate. I’m sorry if that offends you. Actually, I’m not. I could give a damn. You know, we always talked about never again. Well, it’s here again. And in addition. To Isaiah 4917 destroyers and demolishes will emerge from you. God’s words from you. Thomas Jefferson. Joseph story. Abraham Lincoln. Ronald Reagan. Them and others. They all said if America is to be destroyed, it’s to be destroyed for more than. If we have a strong united America, we cannot be defeated. If we have a weak unraveling America, then obviously we can be and we will be just like Athens. Just like Rome. And Rome was around for a thousand years. Its republic was around for almost 500 years. We’ve been here 300 years here. Donald Trump. I mean, ask the people of Israel. Like Trump or Biden, its name and close as left wing Jews who are born Jews but do not practice the religion or certainly don’t practice it in any significant way. Maybe the reformed Jews like I was, which means you don’t know a damn thing about your faith. Not saying who was Samuel? What? Tell us about the second temple. Why? Where’s Shiloh or Shiloh? What? That’s right. You get sugar cookies and and grape juice. That’s all I ever got when I went to Reform Synagogue. Went to Reform Synagogue till the age of 20 something. Didn’t learn a damn thing about my faith. Just left wing politics day in and day out. Now I have a covered rabbi and I learn day in and day out as much as I want to, as little as I want to about the history. Took me to getting to the age of 60. She cannot possibly appreciate the state of Israel if you’re Jewish, if you don’t appreciate your own faith. That’s Schumer’s problem. Thomas Friedman’s problem and a guy by the name of Danny Douche. So, Joe Scarborough. He was surrounded by self-hating Jews. He thinks it protects him like his wife. Mika Brzezinski, her daddy. He hated Israel, too. As the National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter. The Jimmy Carter. And by the way, there’s a reason why. The Islamist Marxist anti-Semites have a home in the Democrat Party, not the Republican Party. There’s a reason why scores of Democrats vote against virtually any resolution in support of Israel or condemning the Palestinian terrorists. There’s a reason for it because the Democrat Party is the home to the river, to the sea crowd. Dearborn, Michigan. Other places, strongholds where these communities are. Again, it doesn’t mean every single. I got it. How many more times do I have to say it? I got it. I got it. But the truth is the truth. And the left wing individuals in the media, Jews and non-Jews, they want to silence me. They want to silence. Ain’t gonna to work. Because they’re fully out of the closet now spinning the Hamas casualty numbers. It’s sick. Trashing Israel’s commander in chief. They’re getting all their talking points from Biden. Lincoln. The Great Afghanistan Surrender Boys. Here’s this guy, Danny Douche. Now, Danny Douche does not have any independent reason to be anywhere. So he’s a foil for. Scarborough. Scarborough is the Biden whisperer. Whispers in Biden’s hear every morning, he exchange wet kisses, kisses. And basically Scarborough gets his marching orders. It’s too bad because he’s completely sold out, his integrity of which there’s none left. So here’s Donny Douche go. Chuck Schumer has spent Donny Deutsch his entire life the victim of anti-Semitic tropes. Oh, crap. Oh, poor Chuck Schumer. anti-Semitic tropes. It’s not a Jew on the face of the Earth that hasn’t faced that. But Chuck Schumer. Supported arming Israel. It should be Iran with a nuclear weapon and we voted against it. Mark. But he. He pulled together the Democrats in the Senate to vote for it. Then he votes against it. What about that, Joey? Is that a problem? So they’re going to build up Schumer as some kind of savior of Israel. Now you see Schumer on the Senate floor. Is he a savior of anything, America? It’s funny. Think Joe Scarborough used to detest Schumer in the Democrat Party. Now he’s all in baby. So who’s changed? Joe has changed. And wise, he’s changed for shekels. May I use that Hebrew word, Mr.. Four shekels. That’s all. Go ahead. A fierce defender of Israel now suddenly Donald’s fierce defender of Israel. He just gave a speech trashing Israel. That speech is quoted now by Hamas, quoted by Hamas. The Iranians are lobbing everywhere. Joe, do you have to be the Tokyo rose of this? Why? Why are you Tokyo Rose? I mean, why are you being such a putz? Go ahead. It’s that he, again, will determine Donald Trump will determine who is a bad Jew. That’s not what he said. Why would any Jew vote for a Democrat? It’s a question many Jews have. Why would any Jew at this point anyway, vote for a Democrat? Well, what’s such a strange question mark, really? But you watch Jake TAPPER, you watch Wolf BLITZER, you watch Andrea mitchell and some of the others watch them. Dana Bash, good lord, them as a doorknob. In the sanctimony, all of a sudden they’re jus all of a sudden they’re faithful Jews. I want a Jewish. No, you don’t, actually. You’re born a Jew. You don’t know a damn thing. No, no, I know what a Jewish. No, you don’t. You secularists and Judaism and Catholicism and whatever ism there is. You don’t know a damn thing. And all of a sudden. They use Hamas numbers to use Hamas talking points. They don’t trash Biden for funding Iran. No, no, no, no. They don’t say a thing when Joe Biden is silent about ivory. School presidents allowing Jewish kids get chased from room to room. They say nothing. Nothing. There was a cupboard in Florida that was torched, burned to the ground. 48 hours ago. Have you heard about it other than from me? Where’s Joe Biden? Usually they’re like an ambulance chaser. But. No, no, no, no. It’s the Jew. So he’s not. He’d go there and talk about Islamophobia. Here we have a US-Israeli cafe. In the Upper West side of New York. Smeared and stained. I see it. The graffiti. These are little crystal knocks taking place, ladies and gentlemen. Not a word. And there’s others I’ve have here in a pile. Another day, more graffiti, more torturing, more violence, more attacking Jews. I’m sorry. I don’t see it against. Every day against the Muslims, by the way, neither does the FBI. Despite the propaganda the Hamas front group CARE puts out. But where’s Joe Biden? He says nothing. He doesn’t go to these sites. And say, we’ve got to stop. Not a word he doesn’t want upset the river to the sea crowd as he Joe Scarborough. Let’s listen to more of the rabbi. Donny Douche, Go ahead of Israel. Your thoughts? I think out of all the things that Donald Trump has ever said that have offended my corps, this is Ed Henry. Tell me a little sniveling bastard. Nobody cares about your core. Here, a dancing monkey on MSNBC. They bring you in to say your dumb ass things. That’s what they do. You’re a dancing monkey. That this affects him to his core. Not Hamas, not Biden funding Iran, not the speech that Schumer gave. No Donald Trump calling out Danny Douche and people like Danny Douche. That affects him to his core. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
Mark. Mark. Don’t ever call out. Donny Douche. Donny. We’ve told you this before on the air. You’re welcome to come on the program. I can test you. Asked you out. Who is he? Define what a Jew is. Let’s test your knowledge. Donny. It’s not like I’m some kind of expert or some kind of rabbi. But it’s like you’re a know nothing left wing Democrat hack. Who just keeps showing what a drama queen you are, how you’re so offended, you’re not offended by Joe Biden’s embrace of Hamas or the PLO or Hezbollah, the Houthis in Iran funding them directly and indirectly reversing all the Trump’s policies. You’re not offended by any of that, but Donald Trump, You are. And your sidekick there. Those are the. SCARBOROUGH He’s going on and on about Trump being Hitler. This is anti-Semitic garbage. I mean, why is Joe Scarborough playing the role of of Joe Biden’s puppet dummy? It’s like Joe Biden has his hand behind Scarborough. His head is moving his head around and his mouth. And he’s starting to sound as incoherent and prone to gibberish as Biden as well. Even his wife is sitting there making faces. Adam, did you notice and must reduce her? He was a man who had very different in private than you’re on TV. It’s TV, you know, the light comes on and you turn into a flaming whack job. We’ll be right back.
