On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, those exploiting the MAGA movement for personal gain have been exposed. These fake MAGA figures, like Chatsworth Qatarlson (Tucker Carlson), are grifting, lying, and promoting anti-American sentiments while falsely claiming to support America First. They support regimes like Iran and Qatar, which funded terrorism and undermined U.S. interests. Fake MAGA is very upset that their team, Iran, is losing. They want you to believe that patriotism is isolationism. The choice is between real MAGA and fake MAGA. Later, Minister of Strategic Affairs of Israel Ron Dermer calls in to provide an update on the Israel/Iran war. The highly successful operation targeted Iran’s military nuclear program and missile capabilities. Dermer praises the precision of Israel’s pilots and intelligence, noting the elimination of key terror figures in the operation’s opening minutes, and expresses confidence in achieving Israel’s strategic goals. By confronting Iran, both Israel’s and America’s futures are being secured. Also, President Trump issued a statement expressing regret that Iran did not sign a nuclear deal he had urged them to accept, calling it a shame and a waste of human life. He emphasized, in all caps, that “IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON,” a stance he has consistently reiterated throughout his political career. He is a non-interventionist commander-in-chief who avoids conflict when possible but is prepared to act decisively to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. We, in real MAGA, real American patriots, stand with Trump, our military, and our Israeli allies! Whatever is happening, we should strongly support our president and our troops, pray for them, speak out for them, and condemn any of the fake MAGA grifters, Marxists, Islamists, and the rest who seek to undermine our country especially at a time like this. President Trump has made clear that he wants peace, and that the Iranian regime with nuclear weapons is not about peace but genocide. For the vast majority of Americans, nothing could be clearer.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. And one of the. Thank you. I spent several weeks here and now they’ve expose themselves. That is individuals who have glommed onto the MAGA movement, Donald Trump’s movement, to try and hijack it. To try and grift off it. The train whore themselves as a result of it. And we’ve exposed them. You and I. We’ve exposed them. Most of them are anti-American, where they keep talking about America first. Israel is winning this war that started Friday evening as we were on the air here. It’s only Monday evening. They have fought a spectacular war thus far. That a single American soldier has been involved in any direct way firing bullets or having bullets fired at them. Thank God. And yet the fake MAGA. That has spent years lying to you, deceiving you. Separating you from your money. They’re very upset tonight. Because their team, the Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran, is losing. They have coddled. These regimes in the Middle East they have cobbled. A war criminal. Putin. They want you to believe that patriotism. Is isolationism, even in the face of a country, a regime like Iran. That has killed 603 American soldiers. That has maimed thousands of American soldiers. And then fake MAGA is telling you that they stand for the United States military. Well, they’re undermining the United States military and our assets. That are in place throughout the world, not just the Middle East, throughout the world. Many of our military assets in the Middle East have nothing to do with Israel. Chadwick Guitar Olsen, his favorite murderous monarch monarchical regime, has the biggest United States based in the Middle East. He hasn’t said that ought to close down. He hasn’t said we ought to withdraw our troops and our jets from that base. Now he’s busy, wet kissing, thick dictator, monarch of Qatar. Which is funded Hamas, which gave aid and comfort and cover and safe haven to the mastermind of 911 when our FBI was about to nab him. The Qatari monarchy gave him a passport. And a plane out of the country. A year or two later, he attacked us on 911. Chatsworth, Qatar. Olsson. Sucked up. To that monarchy and that regime. And he want you to believe he’s America first and he wants you to believe he cares about the cops and the firefighters. They died in those towers. He wants you to believe he cares about our military when he could care less. He hasn’t called for the closure of the main base in Qatar, has he? That’s our biggest base. With a base in Iraq. Israel didn’t put the base in Iraq. That base in Iraq isn’t there for Israel. When we went to war with Iraq, we put the base in Iraq. So why are they focused on Israel? Fake MAGA. Because most of them are Jew haters and anti-Semites and most of them are America haters. Not all, Not all, but most. Starting with Chatsworth. Qatar’s. How do they support our troops? By telling them they’re not needed. There’s that how they support our troops. I don’t think so. These guys are thugs. When you challenge them in a substantive or intellectual way, they try to smear you. So you got to get down into the gutter and duke it out with him. And what President Trump sees, what I see, what more and more people see, is that these people are not only paper tigers, they’re loathsome, absolutely loathsome. They’ve nothing in common with you. Chatsworth. Katie Carlson is a trust fund baby. From the Swanson frozen food. Dynasty. He went to prep school. He’s got a preppy, sort of effeminate way about him. The way he speaks, the way he laughs, the way he carries himself. But you want to be a regular guy. See? So he shows up at UFC events. Regular guy. Tough guy. His team is losing. So he trashes Donald Trump. Those of you who voted for Donald Trump, those of you who support his policies. Those of you who want to defeat the Democrats on the left. He does not. Because now he’s trashing Donald Trump is only a matter of time. So the comedians that surround him and his ilk, comedians that aren’t funny, they don’t even tell jokes. They just are a joke. And most of them. I’ve never lifted a finger for this country, and I don’t even mean in battle. I just been in been supporting our troops. Supporting our cops, supporting our firefighters. How have they. When you are defending a regime in Iran, they’re not just opposed to, quote unquote, war. They are defending right now the regime in Iran. The regime in Iran is about to fall in a few more weeks if the Israelis are left to finish them off. But they think they have a lifeline in Chatsworth, Cotterell said. They think they have a lifeline. And the jokes of these comedians. Her podcast is. Well, the young generation of people. Who happen to be among the most patriotic in the country. They feed on them. They lie to them. They sell them. They sell them hate for their own country, for our military, for Jews. Another star, an evangelical Christians among them either. Have you noticed that the vast majority of evangelical Christians and evangelical Christian leaders like my dear friend, Pastor John Hagee, and so many others? They don’t stand with these reprobates. They want nothing to do with these reprobates. I’ll tell you what. Evangelical Christians and Christians and people of good faith all over the world, and especially in this audience and in this country. They love the Holy Land and they know what will happen to the Holy Land. They know what will happen to the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity. They know what will happen. If the Islamo Nazis have their way. The things I tell you, the things we talk about, they’re not imaginary. It’s not fear mongering. That’s what they do. When we hit on 911 or not, who hit us? We have a whole TSA program. Every time you get on an airplane, you have to be hassled and so forth. Why is that? To protect us from Jews and Christians. Or Islamists and jihadis. Who is it that tried to assassinate our president? Marxists, madmen and Islamists based in Tehran? That’s reality. That’s a fact. Now we all know. We all know of this ilk. We all know what we’re dealing with here. A cancer. A poison. We’ve got Marxists. We’ve got Islamists. And these anti-American, un-American isolationists who just like the Islamists and the Marxists, use the American flag, wrapped themselves in the American flag and insist that you agree with them or you’re not a patriot. What have they done to support our military? Other than say, don’t use our military. Obviously it is a very serious matter when our military. It’s entered into combat and we elected a man, Donald Trump, our commander in chief, who’s well aware of that. We know what he did in his first term, but people forget in his first term, this same fake MAGA, the same kartal sense among others, trashed him and attacked him. When he took out Soleimani. Who was Soleimani? Soleimani was the chief. The chief organizer strategist. For the Iranian military and intelligence attacks around the world. He was the right hand of Khomeini. He was killing our soldiers. He was maiming our soldiers. Trump took it out. And Qatar Wilson and his ilk attacked Trump said they would start World War Three. Well, is there a World War three? And by the way, tell me which Arab country wants to join with Iran? Not one. Maybe Qatar. And maybe if Katara Sun likes Qatar so much rather than hiding in Maine in his little hovel. Maybe he should go there. Well, he’ll be fully welcomed. Or maybe he can go to Moscow where he likes the subway system. Just a thought. As he basically lives in hiding. He’s a weird, perverse dude. Weird. It’s okay. He’s unraveling. He’s panicking. He’s going to a couple of his friends, some of whom are my friends, I thought going to a couple of his friends. And relies on a few of these and these website phony news operations. They give him the attention he wants. He’s jealous beyond belief. Of Fox News. He’s jealous beyond belief. Of conservative talk radio. He’s jealous beyond belief of Sean HANNITY and Ben SHAPIRO. And a host of others. I told you, he’s a trust fund, Preppie. That’s what he is. Expected to be handed a success. It’s multimillionaires and billionaires that fund his projects. I don’t have multimillionaires and billionaires that fund what I do. I live or die by radio ratings. I live rap die by TV ratings. That’s how I function. That’s what we do. My books either sell or they don’t sell. It’s called the market system. I don’t have a billionaire buying my books. I don’t know a billionaire setting me up in a studio. I don’t have any of that stuff. And I don’t want it. He does. He can’t survive without millionaires and billionaires, quote unquote, going in business with him. Canny. No, he can’t. Is a false prophet. He’s also a moron. Don’t let that preppy. That preppy tone, that effeminate tone. Substitute for intelligence. How intelligence can intelligence can you be to be rooting for Iran? It’s really quite simple, America. Really black and white. Isn’t it? I want you to hear what the president said on the way out when a reporter threw a question to him as co-producer. Nice and loud, K-25, Go home, he responded. Carlson Criticizing you, saying that you were complicit in the war. I don’t know what Tucker Carlson is saying. Let them go get a television network and say it so that people listen to what he’s saying is he really doesn’t have a following other than that little cabal of his and so forth. He works so hard and social media to get his hits. I don’t live on social media or post there, but that’s not where I live. Now he’s attacking the press in the United States as complicit in war because he’s backing an ally. He’s not sending in a quarter of a million troops. No. But he’s backing an ally and and Qatar olsson’s world view back an ally against an Islamist Nazi Nazi regime that wants to destroy us. You’re the problem. Now he’s the cancer. I’ll be right back.
Segment 2
I think probably the dumbest memory the House of Representatives has to be. There’s Marjorie Taylor GREENE. Now 99.9% of America don’t even know who the hell I’m talking about. Probably a big percentage of the people in our own district don’t know who the hell I’m talking about. She’s decided to side with the Islamo Nazi regime in Tehran. She’s decided to side with. Her boy, Chatsworth. Guitar. Elton she. Ladies and gentlemen, the choice is not clear. It’s either real MAGA or fake MAGA. You either support the Commander in chief, Donald Trump, or these hangers on, these grifters, these bleeding hemorrhoids at the body politic. I’ll be right back.
Segment 3
It’s a great honor to have on the program right now Ron Dermer, Minister of Strategic Affairs. He’s the former ambassador to the United States from Israel. He is a top confidant of the Prime Minister. He’s been involved in the hostage negotiations, involved in other negotiations. Ron Dermer, how are you, sir? Well, we’re we’re a big fight and we’re winning, thanks to the leadership of Prime Minister Netanyahu, understanding and recognizing a danger before it materializes into an existential threat that you can’t deal with. He said the other day in one of his interviews that Churchill talked about, a jarring gong that wakes up democracies where we don’t want to be gone. And that’s why we did the operation that we did that we started very early Friday morning to remove to threats the threat of Iran’s military nuclear program and also the threat of their ballistic missile program. And some of your listeners, if they get to their television screens or online, can see what these one ton missiles, the kind of damage they can do and kind of destroy a whole neighborhood. Now, imagine that Iran would have 10,000 of those missiles or 20,000 of those missiles. That in itself would be an existential threat. So we launched that attack early Friday morning. It was extremely successful. It actually exceeded our expectations and we had pretty high expectations, but I think no effect. And so I think we had probably the best pilots in the world. And I think our intel was terrific and we were able to take out a lot of these terror masters in the first several minutes of the battle. And the prime minister is just is leading this operation and making sure that we’re going to achieve our goals. And I’m confident that we will. So remind the American people, what are your key goals here? Well, Iran is a regime that openly calls and actively works towards the destruction of Israel, and they are building a nuclear weapon. That’s why they’ve invested millions of dollars into this program. That’s why they build these massive facilities underneath mountains. It’s not because they want peaceful nuclear energy. You know, they got enough oil. The whole idea that they need peaceful nuclear energy is patently ridiculous. But even if they wanted it and they do have one nuclear facility, that’s fine. Let them have peaceful nuclear energy. What they don’t have to do is have an industrial sized enrichment program. And the reason why they have that is because they want nuclear weapons. In the last four years, Iran has enriched a high level of uranium, enriched uranium to a high level, enough for nine atomic bombs. They have enough enriched uranium overall for 17, almost 18 atomic bombs. This is not a peaceful nuclear energy program. And what we saw is how in recent years they’re doing more and more high enrichment. And then in the last few months, Mark, we could see in our intelligence and this is intelligence that we share with the United States that Iran was taking steps in its nuclear weaponization program, where you actually take that enriched uranium and you weaponize it. It was taking steps that it had never taken before. So we can just sit back and wait and pretend like they’re not going to build a nuclear weapon and hope for the best or we can act. And I think the test of leadership is to act to thwart a danger in time. And the prime minister has been warning the world over this, as you know, for over. 20 years. I mean, I’ve been I’ve been working with them actually for 25. But he’s been wanting the world even longer than that. And ever since I met him in the first meeting when he talked about the dangers of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, a lot of times the world was deaf to this. And he and he and he warned And he warned and he warned. And then when he was a prime minister, he’s our longest serving prime minister is, you know, some 18 years. And he acted and different operations with the United States separate from the United States to delay the program. He didn’t stop it, but he delayed it. He did everything he could to prevent us having to have this confrontation. And remember that speech to Congress that he gave that was a decade ago where the world was going to do a deal that would allow Iran not just to sneak in or break in to a nuclear weapon, but to just walk into a nuclear weapon, which is why we opposed it. And thank God President Trump opposed that deal and thank God he left this deal. We would in much worse situation today. So we delayed it and delayed it and delayed it for years, even a decade. But at some point, delay is not enough. You got to work to thwart it and to stop it. And that’s what Israel is doing right now. And we started that operation Friday. We’re on day four of this operation, and we’re going to achieve the goal of removing the threat of an atomic bomb over the heads of Israel from a regime that openly calls for our destruction. And your listeners know that for Iran, we’re just a little Satan. America is the Great Satan. So when actually acting to defend ourselves, we’re also defending America and we’re defending all the Arabs in the region. And they may they may put out a condemnation and they may say things publicly. Believe me, they’re rejoicing. They want Israel to win this battle because they know the threat that Iran poses to them. Now, besides the nuclear threat Iran poses that poses this ballistic missile threat, they’re ramping up production of these one ton missiles that are like buses that are flying through the air and taking out sheering off sides of buildings. They’re trying to produce this thing at a clip of 300 a month. That’s around 3500 a year, which means in three years, if we do nothing, they have 10,000 of these rockets, I mean missiles. And in another three years they have 20,000. Now, who’s going to try to stop Iran when they can rain down 10,000 or 20,000 of these one ton missiles on us or anyone else for that matter, No one. And they can use those missiles to then rush ahead to get a nuclear weapon. So we have to act in order to prevent this. And I’m very grateful for the prime Minister’s leadership. This is it’s never a simple decision to act preemptively. But the greatest leaders, they do just that and they don’t wait to be hit and then act because then it is actually too late. And so I think we are where we are and we’re on a road to victory. And we really believe that our fight is America’s fight and our victory will be America’s victory. And I’m very grateful. And the prime minister is very grateful for President Trump’s support that he’s given. America is with a shoulder to shoulder on defense. You got Aegis ships, you got the SAT anti missile program that is knocking down these missiles that are being lobbed into Israel right into our cities. And even American planes are in the air trying to knock down these drones that are on their way from Iran, that launch from Iran to Israel. So we’re deeply grateful for the support we have gotten from President Trump and also for him making clear Iran’s not going to get a nuclear weapon and Iran is not going to have an enrichment capability. And I think that’s a very important stance, and I think that stance will help us achieve the goals that we set out to achieve in this war. And the people of Israel are quite united. I just saw one of the minority party leftists, Lapid has endorsed basically everything your government is doing. I know for a fact that Benjamin Netanyahu is Churchillian in so many ways, his intellect, his heritage. But, you know, so are you, Ron Dermer, You’ve been by his side for a long time. He relies on you a great deal. You interact with the United States top officials constantly. And in this regard, I want to I want to ask you a question. There have been a lot of media reports. You said, look, we’re not separated at all, work together, a lot of leaks, a lot a lot of reports have asked the administration about this. They say these leaks are not true. They don’t know who’s leaking. But these leaks that attempt to divide Israel and the United States, you see these leaks, too, now? Yeah, absolutely. What did they say? One word to, you know, loose lips, think ships. I mean, the leaks, first of all, most of them are false, but they’re also dangerous. What I can tell you is I don’t believe the U.S. Israel relationship has ever been tighter. There’s ever been a stronger partnership between our two countries. And we’re very grateful for that. For all the people in the Trump administration, you know, whether it’s Vice President Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy, with course. I mean, I. Speak to them multiple times, usually a day. And it’s just a tremendous part. And it’s hard for me to imagine a better partner as we’re confronting this enemy. You know, remember, Israel, even though people see and I guess are amazed by some of the things that we’ve done, whether it’s the beeper when we took out Nasrallah and how we’re fighting a seven front war. But Iran is a very big country with 10 million people. Iran is 100 million people, and Iran is probably 80 times the size of Israel. So Israel is a David, and Iran is a Goliath. And they’re they’re trying to hit us with these these missiles that are huge clubs. And, you know, we have more than slingshots, but basically we have precision weapons and we use our brains and precise weapons to fight back. And we are very grateful that in this fight, this Israeli David fighting this Iranian Goliath, that we have the greatest superpower in the world and the most powerful leader in the world, that’s American. President Trump backing us. I think that’s critically important. And I think in while we’re the ones doing the fight, there’s no question that the defensive support that you’re giving us is been so valuable to this to this effort. And they’re. I fight is is your fight. And ultimately our victory will be your victory because these guys, they hate America. They’re leading people, millions of people for decades, ever since it was born. This regime, older Americans will remember that their birth came with the taking of American hostages and holding them. What was it for 444 days taking over an American embassy and then over the years targeting Americans, whether it was U.S. Marines or was it American embassies and in Africa having the gall to try to blow up an American restaurant. And a lot of these killers that we took out on that first night. These are people who were supporting the effort to get all those IEDs into Iraq that maimed and murdered so many U.S. servicemen, all those people at Walter Reed who were being treated this this is the regime that was behind all of that. So when we systematically take these people out and we undermine the power of this regime by taking out their proxies, we’re not only strengthening ourselves, we’re strengthening America’s posture in the Middle East and around the world. And so I think that this partnership is critical for peace in the future and for security and stability. And I hope that after this war ends and it will end with an Israeli victory and I think an American victory, because our victory is yours, I hope then we’ll get back to the business that we had in the first Trump term of trying to bring more of our Arab neighbors into an alliance of peace. We had the Abraham Accords. But I think this can rapidly explain expand because Iran is the main source of terrorism, of chaos and carnage in this region. And when we clip their wings, we’re going to be in a different reality throughout the region. All right. Well, we want to wish you all the best. I can tell you the overwhelming vast majority of Americans support Israel. They oppose Iran. They don’t want Iran having nuclear weapons and they support the president of the United States in his support of the state of Israel, too. So, Ron Dermer, stay safe. My best to your family as to the prime minister on behalf of the American people. Well, it will. Thank you. And I know that I know, Mark, that there’s a battle going on in America for and I’ve been watching the president tweeting and saying, you know, what’s America first and who’s really supporting the president and not supporting the president? I hope all of your listeners understand one thing. These people in Iran, they’re not about America first. They’re about America dead and we’re taking them on. And I think in doing that and in fighting this battle, we’re going to help secure the future not only of Israel, but the future of America. I agree. God bless you. See you soon. I hope they care about you, too. Ron Dermer, who is fantastic human being above everything else, minister of strategic affairs for the Israeli government and for the prime minister of the state of Israel. We’ll be right back.
Segment 4
Ron Dermer is really a unique human being, let alone a public servant. He was born in the United States. His father was an American. His mother was an Israeli, an American Israeli. He was raised in the United States. He went back. His father died of a heart sudden heart attack, unexpected two weeks before his bar mitzvah in and around Miami. His mother returned to Israel. He went to Israel as well. And. He became a very important individual. There has been with Benjamin Netanyahu for a quarter of a century. He was before that with the attack on Sharansky, who you may recall was a prisoner behind the Soviet Union gulags. And as a result of Ronald Reagan pounding the hell out of the head of the Soviet Union, and I don’t mean militarily, just generally, many Russian Jews were allowed to leave, not enough for many. And Sharansky was one of the most important in terms of. The things he had said and written and so forth. And Dermer became very close with him, and they co-wrote a very important book. So Dreamers is a mix of many fantastic characteristics. He’s smart as hell. He’s an intellectual and a scholar. On the other hand, he’s a diplomat, but he’s a patriot and he’s a patriot for America and a patriot for Israel as a remarkable human being. Benjamin Netanyahu and his brother who was killed in Entebbe. They went to my high school, Cheltenham, Cheltenham Township High School, Cheltenham Township, right outside of Philadelphia. When I was 19 years old in law school, I ran for the school board in Cheltenham Township and I was elected there and sworn in when I was 20. At that time, the youngest school board member in the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and I certainly not board for I don’t know what it was three and a half years or so, but I went to that high school. And Benjamin Netanyahu preceded me by seven years. So the last time I was in Israel. At a friendly and brief meeting with him. You should imagine that, Mark. We both went to the same high school. Look where I am. And look where you are. I’m nowhere near where he is. But it is a remarkable thing. And by the way, just out of interest for some of you. We had a lot of very famous people who came of that high school. Athletes, poets, authors. Not too many criminals I can think of. But it’s quite a remarkable place. Now, unlike Chatsworth, Qatar. Nothing was handed to me. I worked for everything. I had everything. And so when I speak about the Forgotten man or I speak about the middle class, I speak about blue collar America. That’s who I know. That’s why I know that’s what my parents were. That’s the way it was. So we’re here to defend this country. We’re not going to defend Islamists or Marxists. We’re not going to defend terrorist regimes. We’re going to defend our troop troops. I stand with Donald Trump and real MAGA and we stand against fake MAGA, which is now attacking Donald Trump. So I want you to speak out. I want you to go on the Internet. I want you to defend the president. I want you to condemn these reprobates because that’s one of the battles we fight here at home. It’s about power. Like my new book says on power, it’s about power. I’ll be right back.
