On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, the vast majority of the American people support Israel and their efforts to fight Hamas, but the Biden Administration supports Hamas and will not allow Israel to destroy them. 76 years ago, Harry Truman recognized the state of Israel and presidents have recognized our alliance with them until Biden destroyed that bond. The pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat party is demanding a surrender in Gaza that would be worse than our withdrawal from Afghanistan, and by embracing it the Biden Administration is giving aid and comfort to terrorist groups around the world. Also, Mark speaks with Ric Grenell to discuss the shift in U.S. policy to turn on Israel and an administration implying that if Israel does not surrender they are no better than the terrorists that attacked them. Next, Mark is joined by Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) to talk about America’s lack of loyalty to our allies under the Biden Administration and the willingness of Democrat Marxists to sell out Israel and call for the removal of Benjamin Netanyahu for the sake of power. Also, following the release of additional Iran sanctions waivers, Scott is demanding transparency from the Biden administration. Mark is later joined by Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) to discuss what Senate Republicans can do to check the endless power of the Biden administration foreign policy acting unilaterally and bypassing Congressional checks and balances.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number 3818. What the hell is the number? 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. I have to admit to you, I’m beyond furious this evening. 80% of the American people support Israel. They support their efforts to defeat Hamas. Almost 90% of the Palestinians support Hamas and the slaughter of October 7th. A majority of young Democrats support Hamas. In the Biden administration. Supports Hamas. And it will now allow the Israelis to destroy it. That is the bottom line. All the static aside. Joe Biden is sold out to Iran because in my view, Iran is withholding its nuclear breakout until after the election. Joe Biden paid the Iranians $6 billion for our hostages. Joe Biden has allowed to flow into Iran over $100 billion more money than has been sent to Ukraine. Iran killed three American red blooded American soldiers and they didn’t pay any price for. None. You don’t know this, but every day and every night, hundreds of missiles are being fired into Israel from Lebanon by Hezbollah. So even if Israel were to surrender to Hamas, who’s going to stop that? Ladies and gentlemen, 76 years ago, Harry Truman. Harry Truman recognized the state of Israel. And since then, Republican and Democrat administrations alike. Have supported that alliance without fail. Began to weaken under Obama. But even Obama dare not do what Biden has done. And almost six months to the day after October 7th. Here we are on October 4th. Mark this date down on your calendar, that 76 year bond has been destroyed. Joe Biden is the only president. Since Truman forward. To destroy that bond. People say, well, why is Israel any of our business if Israel didn’t exist? Who do you think the target would be? The Iranians want to kill Secretary Pompeo, John Bolton and others, and they’ve attempted to. The Iranians actually have a foothold in our hemisphere now in Central America. Why? Because of Israel. Iran is building nuclear weapons. On intercontinental ballistic missiles, intercontinental to reach the United States. The Houthis are attacking American ships in the Red Sea. Iran has a ironclad alliance with China. It’s providing China with oil that Donald Trump had cut off. It’s providing Russia with drone. And there is an axis of evil with Iran, North Korea, Russia and China. That’s not an axis of evil against Israel. It’s an axis of evil against us. How many more allies are we going to throw under the bus while our enemies get stronger and stronger? And build better and better alliances. And how many more countries are going to want to be aligned with the United States under these circumstances? The most horrific things are now being said today prior days. But today especially. Like a chorus of Jew hating, anti-Semitic, Israel hating Democrats. And let me be clear, this is the Democrat Party. This is the Democrat Party. Anthony Blinken is one of the most loathsome. Stomach crawlers on the face of the planet. And I want to remind everybody. And it was Biden who ordered the drone attack that killed an aid worker in Afghanistan and that nine of his family members, ten of them, including seven children. And when that took place, he went to Rehoboth Beach. He didn’t apologize. He didn’t bend over backwards. Nobody said that better never happen again. And he unleashed holy hell as we were surrendering in Afghanistan. 13 U.S. servicemen murdered. God knows how many Americans are still there if they’re even alive. He doesn’t care about human life. When Obama was president of the United States, he used drone attacks. Left and right. He was condemned by by human rights groups and leftists. Another. The Obama-Biden administration, upwards of 800 civilians died as a result of drone attacks, including three American citizens. Nobody blamed the United States military. Nobody blamed Obama specifically. Nobody said this better never happen again. That attack. In Yemen. Multiple drones were launched. And they hit a. Three or four. Car procession. And blew them off the face of the earth. Our intel said that those were terrorists in their. But they weren’t terrorists. It was a wedding party. A wedding party and 27 innocent civilians in Yemen were killed. 27. In one attack. Did the Israelis or any of our allies get up and talk about the inhumanity of the United States? Did they? Where is the data? How many? How many civilians in Gaza have been killed by Hamas? I’m looking. There’s none. They don’t provide any. How many aid workers have been killed by Hamas? We don’t have any data. Biden and Blinken know that about 70% of the aid that goes into. Gaza winds up with Hamas. Egypt won’t open its borders so that people can leave and go into the Sinai Peninsula. And Iran keeps funneling weapons to Hamas. And Biden today demands a cease fire. Because the river to the sea crowd. The river to the sea craft in the United States. Demands a cease fire, which means Israel will surrender the way we surrendered in Afghanistan. But the result will be far worse than even what took place in Afghanistan. No cease fire. On Hamas’s. Top officials in the last four battalions are surrounded. A cease fire. Look at all the the incoming Israel’s taking from the United States and from our media in the Democrat Party. Jake TAPPER is a slime ball in the worst order. Dana Bash is a puke. Wolf BLITZER is a serial liar. Joe Scarborough has become a loathsome anti-Semite. The media are all in. Many of us have asked ourselves over the decades. How could a so-called civilized society like Germany? A civilized society like Germany. How could the people? Succumb. To the hate. How could they succumb to the violence? Now, we’re not the Third Reich, obviously. But we’re not America before Joe Biden either. America is changing, not you and me. America is changing and it’s not from the bottom up in the middle out. 80% of the American people support Israel. It’s from the top down. It’s from our government. It’s from the State Department, the Defense Department, the CIA, and most of all, from the White House. They are changing the direction of our country. In the stench of the 1930s is out there. The little crystal knocks are taking place all over the United States. You have to actually go on the Internet and read about it. They’re not being reported on cable or network news. Synagogues, Jewish students. It’s still going on. When Biden speaks as he speaks and this flunky, Kirby speaks as he speaks and this dangerous good for nothing ideologue. This Iranian special pleader, Blinken says the horrendous things said. He says they are fueling anti-Semitism not just throughout the United States but throughout the world. And they are giving aid and comfort to the Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran. They’re giving aid and comfort to Hamas and Hezbollah and the PLO and every damn terrorist organization on the face of the earth. That’s what this administration is doing. They are taking hundreds of years. Build up in America. Of our moral superiority. That’s right. Have our moral strength if our principles and they’re burning them to the ground. One administration, whether it’s the border, whether it’s trying to imprison Donald Trump. And now they’re targeting the state of Israel. They are doing more damage to the state of Israel than Iran is doing today. I want you to listen to this. This is NATO. Blinken at a news conference. It’s not just any news conference. He’s in Brussels, Belgium, with our NATO allies. And I want you to hear what he says in front of them and to the entire world. Cut 22 ago. Now, of course, what happened after October 7th. Could have ended immediately if Hamas had stopped hiding behind civilians, released the hostages and put down its weapons. This is a throwaway line because Hamas has held to no standard whatsoever. And oddly enough, this guy so sick, he says, because they’re terrorists, we don’t have to hold them to a standard. Excuse me. We don’t expect anything from them. What? They’re holding five American citizens. You. You bonehead. Go ahead. But Israel is not Hamas. Israel is a democracy. Hamas, a terrorist organization. And democracies place the highest value on human life. Every human life. That’s not correct. This man is unfamiliar with World War Two. He’s unfamiliar with the Civil War. He’s unfamiliar with World War One. He’s unfamiliar with the Vietnam War. When you have an enemy, you’re not sitting there thinking about human life. You must destroy your enemy. Your enemy is weaponized. Your enemy has attacked your own people, your enemies seeking to destroy. Look at the moral equivalence. He’s creating a moral equivalence. Between free nations and the terrorists, he says. But we’re not the terrorists like them. We care about every life. No, we don’t. We want every terrorist right that removed from the face of the earth because they threaten us. We want criminals. We want them put in prison. Why? Because they threaten us. Go ahead. It’s been said whoever saves the life saves the entire world. What a stupid ass. Go ahead. Strength. It’s what distinguishes us from terrorists like Hamas. If we lose that reverence for human life, good Lord, we risk becoming indistinguishable from those we confront. Well, then you’re a terrorist because you’re funding Iran, you’re funding Hamas, you’re funding the Houthis, you’re funding the PLO, you’re funding Hezbollah. Then you, sir, are a terrorist. Even worse, through your policies in funding Iran, you’re funding China with oil. They have two and a half million Muslim leaguers in prison camps. You’re responsible for that. You Jack. You’re responsible for every death in Afghanistan as a result of what you did. And when you were deputy secretary of state, you were responsible for 800 civilian deaths as a result of drone attacks. So I guess you’re the terrorist yet dumb. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
We need to understand what we’re dealing with in the White House. Early in his career, he sided with the racists. The is the worst of the worst. Talmadge buried Stennis. Eastland. He wrote legislation to reject the integration of our public schools. He wrote legislation 20 years ago to target blacks and black communities on a crime bill. Joe Biden always needs a boogeyman. And it used to be the blacks, and now it’s the Jews. The problem is. There are too many. I mean, my faith. Well, vote Democrat and Biden right to the end. Despite what’s taking place in our own country, in this world, when they don’t see it, they don’t smile because they’re blind.
Segment 3
America has changed and is changing under the Biden regime. And that’s the intention. It’s Bernie Sanders intention. That’s the median tension and they’re succeeding. You understand this tyranny is not limited. Tyrannies. Tyranny. And it’s out of the box now. And as Tierney gets more aggressive moves into totalitarianism. And totalitarian regimes require a media, a mouthpiece, what we call a one party or one state media. And they have it. There’s no question about it. Our buddy Rick Grenell is with us, a good friend of mine and my wife, good friend of the family in the country, Rick Grenell. How are you, my friend? Mark. Thanks for having me. It’s a pleasure. You saw what happened today. And so what’s happened today? Almost six months to the day that Israel was attacked is now official United States policy. Is to turn on Israel. 76 years since Harry Truman, we’ve had pretty much bipartisan policy. And now it’s over. And now we have a secretary of state that is implying, if not specifically stating that if Israel doesn’t doesn’t adhere to their demands to surrender right now and a two state solution and all the rest, that they’re not much different than the terrorists and Hamas. This is essentially what Blinken said today. What do you make of this? Yeah. Look, it’s really troublesome. We all know that Joe Biden is not calling the shots here. He’s stumbling off stages. He’s clearly not negotiating. We’ve learned recently that he hasn’t spoken to Putin in two years. He hasn’t spoken to President Xi in two years. This is a this is a man, Joe Biden, that is just literally a shell of the presidency. And the people around him are calling the shots. So let’s talk about that. That’s Anthony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, who are calling the shots now. Both of them are not only incredibly weak, but they’re also very left wing and very academic. They don’t know the real world. Jake Sullivan has literally written white papers about what to do in like an academic atmosphere, but but doesn’t know how to actually deal in the real world when there is real politics going on. So what I have a problem with is, is the sequencing here. Mark, you and I both know that what has happened 180 days ago was life changing for anyone who supports Israel. And I put into that category the evangelical Christians of America. And and we’ve watched as Israel was attacked. This is a music festival. These people were not even political and they were harassed and raped. And and now they’re hostages. And we know that there are American hostages. So the only thing that we should be talking about are the return of hostages. All of the other conversations about, you know, Abbas, who was elected in 2005 to a five year term and is now in his 18th year of a five year term. And then now he turns over and says, I’m going to appoint this other guy to be the government, an unelected person. And then the United States welcome this move as a representative government. There have been so many mistakes made from the White House in the State Department about not concentrating on the hostages, not going there. Why isn’t the secretary of state who has his own plane? Why isn’t he not parked in Qatar? On that plane and saying, I’m not leaving until I have the American hostages home. The American leadership is crucial. It’s crucial to pressure the Arab, the Israelis, the American public, everyone. I’ve spent eight years at the UN. Nothing works in the world unless there’s American leadership. When the Americans are not leading this chaos. And so we have seen for 180 days this lack of attention on the hostages and the hand-wringing from the academic community inside the Biden administration to the point where now they are so frustrated over Michigan. And then this is all about politics. They’re so frustrated over Michigan and the people who are voting for none of the above on different ballots that the political people at the White House have taken over from Jake Sullivan. And they said, look, we got to have a ceasefire and we got to call for a ceasefire because otherwise Detroit is not going to vote for us and we’re going to lose. And so the entire strategy right now is a political ploy for Michigan. I actually believe, though, there are two points of why the Arabs are not going to vote or for Joe Biden. One. Arabs, Israelis, evangelicals. We all know there wouldn’t have been a war if Donald Trump were president. We all know that there was actual peace between Arabs and Israelis. And the second point is. How stupid are we to think that when you fund the radical regime in Tehran, that you’re not going to get war, you’re not going to get terrorism. You’re not going to get belligerent individuals who deny someone human rights on a daily basis. So the funding of the Iranian regime to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief, cash and credit. Is the sole responsible moment of October seven and the chaos that we’re seeing now. They did this on themselves. They funded the Iranian regime and they put themselves in that position. So now the foreign policy academics have been pushed off to the side and the political people running Michigan have taken over the strategy. But in the case of Blinken, I think it’s more ideological. You remember when McCain went to the floor and voted against him and actually filibustered his nomination for deputy secretary. He warned that this guy is going to get americans kill. He call him dangerous. He’s a naito trashing israel. He’s basically comparing them. There has to to hamas. I mean, this this guy who i don’t think is that political. I just think he’s so radical and then he brings in this guy Malley, who is a special pleader for Iran. They’re going to have a nuclear weapon at some point, this guy. And here’s my question Why don’t Republicans hold hearings and hold this guy accountable? They’re allowing these guys to run foreign policy unchallenged. Yeah. Look, I hope that your listeners know that Anthony Blinken’s parents, Vera and Don Blinken, have given millions of dollars to George Soros and the Open Society. Matter of fact, the center that they opened with George Soros was called the Vera and Donald Blank. An Open Society Archive. Oh, my God. I didn’t even know that. I didn’t know that. Oh, how did I miss that? Outrageous. It’s outrageous. And so this is for Anthony Blinken. This is a left wing strategy of taking over the State Department and putting his policies in place. Look, I as you know, I could talk all day and at the Balkans and what what Anthony Blinken has done to the Conservative Party in Albania is shameful. No one pays attention to it. But he’s put them under sanctions because they challenged the socialists that he love. Tell the nation a little bit, if you would. It was a really tear jerking moment at the Shabbat dinner at CPAC where you came and my wife and you had become very, very close and through her. We about your mother, what your mother taught and what your mother said. Oh, yeah. Well, telling them in that moment, Mark, I had walked into Shabbat dinner and I had just spoken to my mom, who was not doing well, you know, physically. And and really there was there was a moment there that that we really thought we were going to lose her. She she was having a heart failure. And since has had multiple surgeries and is doing so much better. But at that Shabbat dinner, you know, I was just reminded of of my heritage as I was, you know, standing there speaking about how I grew up, my Judeo Christian values and everything that my mother had given me. My mom has raised four kids to be evangelical Christians that are aggressively pro-Israel. And we understand the biblical absolutes of what it means to stand with Israel. And for my mom, you know, it’s funny because you can’t really have a conversation with my mom without her talking about, you know, what what God has in store for Israel. It’s always part of the conversation. And for us, we just look and we say, you know, we must pray for the peace of Israel. This is a biblical mandate for all Christians and. And what’s happening there concerns my mother very deeply. She’s not a highly political person, but she is a prayerful person who understands that this is a spiritual battle that’s happening. And we have no choice as Christians but to be on the side of Israel. And she taught you this, right? Pretty much. My mom taught me this. Look, growing up, we didn’t have a dishwasher. I was the dishwasher. The youngest of four kids. And I would stand at the sink with my mom, wash dishes, and there was a plaque above the sink that was in our faces for every night. And it said, Pray for the peace of Israel. And my mom still has a plaque that says, Pray for the people of Israel and the kitchen and is, you know, someone who talks about what’s happening in the world. Well, what’s one of the greatest joys of her life was to go to Israel then multiple times. But the first time she went was just electric for her to walk amongst the biblical stories. And she’s taught this to not only her kids, but her grandkids and her great grandchildren. And she’s aggressive about it. All right. Well, I think with today’s activities and pronouncements throughout the Biden administration that the relationship now between the United States and Israel has been. Almost destroyed by our government. And it’s the same administration, brick that is destroying our electoral system, trying to put Donald Trump in prison. In other words, this is a very tyrannical party, a very tyrannical Biden. People around him, they really are trying to to to alter our nation in a very, very negative way. And they’re succeeding right now. No, no, I do think they’re succeeding. I mean, you look at, you know, when they when they weren’t winning at the Supreme Court, they talked about adding Supreme Court justices when they weren’t winning in the states. They were talking about adding in Puerto Rico and other states so that they could have more states can get elected. Now, it’s clear that the game is to let as many illegal immigrants into the country as possible and then permeate them throughout the country and and work with blue states and blue city to give them the ability to register to vote. Now, remember, they already have this scheme that if you’re on the voter roll, you’re going to have a mail in ballot. And so when you’re when you get on the voter rolls, you know, there can be an innocent bureaucrat who just simply says, oh, I didn’t really check. I didn’t know that the person was illegal on the voter rolls, that that whole strategy is gone because they just add people to the voter rolls and then they turn around and send them a ballot and then you get a ballot in the mail. And many states are saying that we don’t really want you to have to sign these. We don’t want a signature check. We’re just going to take all of these ballots that come through. So it starts with crappy voter rolls and it goes quickly into a whole bunch of of people registered to vote that shouldn’t be registered to vote, whether they’re residency violators or they’re dead or they’re illegal. A whole bunch of reasons. But the Democrats know that flooding the market like this overwhelming the system is how they can have future voters. Now, we’ve got to go after the voter rolls. Mark, this is this is the fight. And Tom Benton’s group did a great job in Los Angeles where I live. They sued. We’ve helped them. And they have successfully gotten more than a million people off the voter rolls in Los Angeles County alone. That’s pretty remarkable. Los Angeles County is the largest county in America by far. If you could rig Los Angeles County, then the entire state and all the delegates go to the Democrats. But conversely, we’re fighting hard if we can clean up the voter rolls in Los Angeles County and register new conservatives in that county, you can change the entire landscape of America by Los Angeles County. And we are working hard here. And we are we are registering people to vote. I’ve got an organization called Fix California. I hope people will support it. You can go to California dot com and see our work. But we are registering conservatives up and down California and we’re focused on L.A. County and where do people go if they want to help again, to reduce Let’s put it on all our social platforms. Thank you very much a fix California dot com fix California dot com. Rick thanks so much. God bless you, my friend. All the best, my friend. Great to talk to you. You, too. Always appreciate you. We’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Listen to this. From our friends at the Free Beacon. Chuck Ross, Hamas patron, Qatar member. Qatar funds Hamas and other terrorist operations. Qatar has spent billions to influence our colleges and universities. The River to the Sea crowd in Qatar today has provided a safe haven for the leaders of Hamas. You ready for this? Hamas is bankrolling a group building the Medal of Honor Memorial in Washington, D.C.. The oil rich Hamas ally has spent billions buying influence in the United States. In June, the group held a successful forum featuring two Medal of Honor recipients and former Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller. That December, Biden signed a law greenlighting the group’s plan to construct a monument in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial, honoring America’s honoring America’s greatest war heroes. The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation enjoys broad bipartisan support. In the foundation lists. The people of Qatar is one of its founders circle donors, the highest rung of patrons. In reality, the money flows from the authoritarian Qatari government controlled by the Thani family dynasty. The Qatar embassy has pledged $5 million and all to the foundation, according to previously unreported documents submitted to Congress last year. And Qatar spent $6 billion on lobbying and funding for American universities and think tanks. And this is consistent with Qatar’s M.O.. Jonathan Chansiri, senior vice president of research, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said of their funding. It’s buyer beware. The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation certainly isn’t the first to take money from the Qataris, and they won’t be like, this is a disgrace. So you actually had Medal of Honor winners. You’ve had people who have died fighting the terrorism that Qatar has funded. What a disgrace. What the hell is going on in Washington, DC? What a disgrace. And this foundation. Shut it the hell down. Replace it with patriots. I shall return.
