On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, Iran’s nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile development pose an existential threat to Israel and American civilization, which cannot be ignored. Israel, possibly with U.S. assistance, will take military action to neutralize this threat, as Iran will not go away on its own. Iran’s actions, including attacks via proxies and American casualties, demand a decisive military response, which is self-defense rather than nation-building. These radical Democrats, fifth-columnists, and isolationists lack any strategy and moral clarity. Also, the people of Israel are never discussed by the media. They face severe challenges every day, especially in Tel Aviv, where ballistic missiles from Iran target hospitals and public areas, forcing families into bomb shelters. They are in constant fear with a disrupted quality of life. Media outlets ignore these struggles and ignore the regime’s history of killing and maiming American soldiers. Later, Zuhdi Jasser calls in and addresses the mindset of the isolationists and fifth columnists who deliberately ignore the existential threat posed by Iran’s theocratic regime and its proxies like Hezbollah and the Houthis. He emphasizes that these groups are driven by a radical theology that glorifies suicide bombing, chaos, and the targeting of non-combatants, with the ultimate goal of triggering an apocalyptic scenario tied to the return of the 12th Imam. Jasser asserts that Iran’s uranium enrichment is clearly aimed at developing nuclear weapons, not peaceful purposes, and warns that the regime would use such weapons, likening its leadership to a cult willing to commit national fratricide. Finally, Sayyid Qutb’s book Milestones, promotes pure Islam and strict shariah, rejecting Western values and most modern Muslims as ignorant (jahiliyyah). Groups like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MSA, and MPAC dismiss devout Muslims who oppose their views. Qutb’s ideas fuel sectarian violence and terrorism by groups like Hamas and al-Qaida, and states like Iran, which pursues nuclear weapons through deception (taqiyya). Western appeasement fails to counter this clash with democratic values.

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. You know. AUDIENCE It’s going to be funny. Okay, REPORTERS, turn on your your recording devices. See the way it works here is whatever I say they’re going to try and. Create a fight between President Trump and me. Prime is President Trump. And I already know this. The fact is, ladies and gentlemen, that whether it’s 2 hours from now, two days from now or two weeks from now. Iran is not going to go away on its own. The Israelis are going to put it away by itself. If they can. With that Fordo nuclear site. They’ll put it away with our assistance. Some point, I suppose. Or it’s not going to go away. It’s not going to go away. That’s the truth. You’ve got a combination of radical Democrats in fifth columnists, isolationists in this country. You actually have no and I repeat, no idea how to deal with this except. Dig a hole and put your head in it. And hope for the best. If you don’t take military action against Iran. Then Iran exists. If you don’t take military action against Iran, then they will increase their ballistic missile inventory to the tens of thousands. If you don’t take military action against Tehran, they are going to have intercontinental ballistic missiles. If you don’t take military action against Iran, they’re going to have nuclear warheads. Combine that with their public statements. And you have a death threat against the American civilization and, of course, Israel. Now, there’s one lowlife out there who says Benjamin Netanyahu is the problem, that he’s playing us. And so I guess that means he’s playing Donald Trump. Donald Trump’s not going to be played by anybody. Neither is Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s about time these people with a low IQ and a small vocabulary. Try and grow up and act like adults. But they won’t. They’re stuck. They’ve got their platforms and that’s the way it is. Moreover, it is amazing to me that on an issue that is so clear between good and evil. That they’re having a problem with their own morality. One of them is so busy walking a fine line that everybody’s lost respect for him. Another one has effectively thrown in with the enemy, rarely ever condemning the Islamo Nazi who runs Iran. And despite the polls that are out, whether it’s CNN, whether it is the Reagan Institute, all these major polls, although one site went to an online poll and tried to use that to support their position, it just shows you they have nothing. Nothing. Nothing substantive. Nothing. No strategy. Zero. And for them, everything is Afghanistan and Iraq. They’re ignoramuses. Everything is not Afghanistan and Iraq. Everything is not nation building. This is called self-defense. Peace. Self-defense. Iran. Struck Israel through its proxies. Iran has killed hundreds of Americans and maimed thousands. They have blood, American blood on their hands, apparently. Apparently this doesn’t move the fifth column isolationist. Apparently, the Democrats are okay with this. In fact, they use their desk to say, what do we want more deaths as the very perpetrator of those deaths? Has been building nuclear weapons. And they denied they were building nuclear weapons. And now Ratcliffe, the head of the CIA, says they’re on the one yard line. It takes almost nothing for them to get a touchdown. So we’re supposed to disbelieve Ratcliffe, disbelieve the IAEA, disbelieve the Austrians, disbelieve everybody, but believe them. These are dangerous. No, nothing’s. Whether it’s two weeks next week. Saturday, Sunday, next Wednesday. This problem doesn’t go away. So we’ll negotiate another two weeks. With whom? I don’t know. The Supreme Islam, a Nazi. According to the press. We have all these quotes. Has told us to screw up. He’s not interested. So I guess somebody else is going to negotiate. I don’t know who. I don’t know who they represent. Could be interesting. I don’t know what kind of deal can be made. Unconvinced. Unconditional surrender. Wants to negotiate. That’s a three word surrender, Mr. Producer. We surrender unconditionally. Do you have to do a whole. Set of negotiations for that. Does that take two weeks? Does that take 2 minutes? I’m only basing my comments on what I’m reading in the newspaper and online. And what people are saying who are supposed to be in the know. Meanwhile, during this two week period, ballistic missiles will continue to rain down on the Israeli people. Yesterday. Last evening, actually, they aimed one of those missiles at a hospital. They said, oh, sorry, we were we were aiming at an intelligence facility. No, they weren’t. They aimed it at a hospital and they hit it a direct hit. This is a hospital, one of the biggest in southern Israel. That serves Muslims, Christians, Jews, Bedouins and Arabs, Druze, anybody who comes to the door, anybody. And they hit it. By the grace of God. The part of the hospital that was hit by the grace of God. The part of the hospital that was hit. There was nobody there because they had moved the people out because they were doing work. That’s God’s will. What about the fact that Israel and the United States this is known. I’m not breaking any any rules are running out of interceptor missiles. How much longer can that go on? How much longer can even a 90% or an 80% accuracy rate? With a 10 to 20% inaccuracy rate. Go on. I notice that the Democrats. And the Fifth Column. Isolationists rarely ever talk about the suffering of the Israeli people nor the day. Nor do they. Condemn. The supreme Islamist Nazi. As much as they condemn Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s shocking what’s going on. Shocking in the level of Jew hatred and antisemitism promoted by by websites that continue to to give voice to these individuals who represent a tiny percentage of their people, whether it’s media eat, the Drudge Report or some of the others, is grotesque. The people who go on on comment on that media platform and they own the platform. Sound like Klansmen and neo-Nazis are just a disgrace. But Dan Abrams has created over there a disgrace. And then when they write articles, they dip into the comment section and they they cherry pick comments that they feel will create the story that they’re manufacturing. And you wonder why people hate the press. The fact is that you and I stand with 84% of the Republicans. You and I stand with 80% of the American people. Real surveys. Real polls, not YouGov, that’s used by one of these websites to defend the indefensible. Tell me where to go. To find, and I’ll put a link up. Tell me where to go to find the isolationist Fifth Column Democrat Party resolution to the Iran problem. You can’t find it. And not only that, they don’t think it’s a problem. That’s why the American people reject them, whether it’s MAGA, the Tea Party, the Reagan Revolution, all of us. The American people reject this. So two weeks. Maybe I had the greatest deal in the history of humankind. But when? Two weeks are up. If we don’t. Well, the fifth Column isolationists. Well, the Chatsworth, Qatar, Olsens and his ilk. Well, they still oppose taking action. And what makes the lecture to the next two weeks so magical? What about the last three months? The fact is the Iranian regime is on its back. It’s hanging by its fingernails. It’s about to be eliminated and so, so successful. Have the Israelis been and let’s not play games. The United States has provided some defensive support. But those are Israelis going into Iran attacking these locations. That was Israeli intelligence taking out the highest levels of their military, taking out the top senior nuclear scientists. They’re the ones who are prepared to take out Khamenei. They’re the ones going after the nuclear sites. They have no no compunction about at all because they know that this is a battle between seventh century primitive barbarians, that regime and the free world and modernity. And whether we survive or they survive, they understand the mindset of the Islamists. And Zuhdi Jasser will be back next hour to explain it yet again. So two weeks. Okay. Two weeks. Two weeks. And then can we assume the rubber hits the road? And will the same reprobates. Fifth column isolationists. Gearing up for a fight. Lobbying and pressuring and all the rest. Will they be back at it? Yes, they will. Because these people are ideologues. They’re numbskulls. They’re dangerous. That’s what they are. And worse, in some cases, it’s Netanyahu’s thought, Gee, we haven’t heard that before. It’s the Israelis. It’s their fault, okay? It’s the American warmongers and neo cons. It it’s never the terrorists. Have you noticed? It’s never the Iranian regime. Just like Putin. It’s never a Putin. It, Zelinski. Putin. Zelensky. The communist Chinese are watching this. The Russians are watching this. The North Koreans are watching this. They’re watching it. And so far they’re seeing the Israelis kicking the ass of the Iranian military. It’s defeated the Iranian military defeated it in 48 hours. That’s what it did. It defeated it. Now, it’s an issue of taking out all these nuclear sites. And they’re asking, I assume, I don’t know, firsthand help on this Fordo or whatever it’s called site. They’ll do whatever they can on their own. They don’t have the bunker buster and the bomber in order to deliver it. Honestly, ladies and gentlemen, is that not the least we can do? Is that not the least we can do? They’ve been carrying the load here. They’ve carry the load with Hamas and Hezbollah. They’re carrying along with Iran. Of course we’re providing them with weapons. Although they were denied in the last administration. Why wouldn’t we? But it’s their flesh and blood on the line. Well, that’s not our problem. How stupid. Over and over again. Intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. Do these people really You know who they sound like? They sound like the primitive barbarians that run Iran. They’re slow learners. Worst of all, they’re ideologues. More when I come back.
Segment 2
Guy Benson writes a great post, he says. What is all this talk about a forever war? This would be very much in line with the president’s first term approach that is hitting this nuclear site. He wasn’t bashful about using American military might to achieve discreet and important objectives without getting bogged down or spiraling into wider war. Think about the Suleimani hit the Syria strikes and bombing the blank at of ISIS and crushing their caliphate. These were all in America’s interest. They accomplish key goals. They also send crucial resonating messages. And despite some critics warnings back then, they did not beget mission creep, right? Qatar. CATERSON No invasions, no nation building, no forever ness protest decided, acted, succeeded and was done with it. Same proposition here, arguably with an even greater upside with very low risk to our people, thanks to our Israeli allies. Incredible intel and military feats thus far. In short, limited sorties to obliterate Fordow were be fully consistent with its long standing philosophy on war and the use of force. And Guy Benson is 100% correct. All these these shibboleths, all these slogans, all this crap that’s being thrown at you has nothing to do with what’s taking place. It needs to take place. More when I return.
Segment 3
Let me show you another thing. People sitting on the edge of their chair hoping. If they can. Writers say that there’s this division, there’s this friction between President Trump and me. Look, he’s the president. I don’t even understand this debate friction. I have my opinion. I give the president my opinion. There’s no friction. I worked for Ronald Reagan for eight years. I remember when. He was going to sign this amnesty deal. And by the way, in exchange for it, the Democrats, led by George Mitchell in the Senate, were supposed to secure the border, but they lied like they always do. You, I he’s chief of staff to the attorney general, and I vehemently opposed it. It’s a big issue. And I lost. Then I turn on Reagan. Then I quit. You’re attack my boss. No, This is what the Fifth Column isolationists do. They turn on the president. They try to usurp him, they try and substitute their views for his. I don’t do that. I don’t run campaigns. I don’t lead a movement. I give my opinion. And I said to him the other week, Mr. President, they’re saying that I’m leading a group of people to Libya. He said, Who’s saying that? I said, they’re just saying it out there. He said, You know what? I want to know your opinion, Mark. Are you the call? You invite you here or I watch TV shows? Exactly. But none of this is nefarious. It’s all quite transparent. Nobody’s going to come between Donald Trump and me. He says it. I say. We say to each other, We know what’s going on. We know how corrupt the media are. We also know how these other people are. We talk about it or have. So this isn’t about that. This isn’t about what? Media and the Drudge Report. The Politico. Axios and all the other reprobates say as they try and get clicks. And in the case of mediate, the warring neo-Nazis and Klansmen who go into their comments section, the happy they are, which is why they use as hysterically, hysterically outrageous headlines when they write about me, because they want to attract the very lowest of the low list. And many of them also support the fifth column isolationists. So they’re very. Friendly toward the Fifth Column isolationists. But the American people know nothing about them. They know nothing about these Fifth column isolationists. And you and I stand with them. And they are us. They are us. We are them. That’s us. The vast majority. While the others are clawing and burping and trying to get attention. Twisting themselves into pretzels. We’ve heard this crap before, the attacks on Netanyahu and the Jews in Israel. We’ve heard these these attacks before, the forever wars. Do you want to go to war? And so forth and so on. Guy Benson just made the point. We’ve made it here, but he made it exceptionally well. It’s not what we’re talking about. It’s not what anybody’s talking about. Nobody except them. As you can see, there’s not a regional war. As you can see, there’s now World War Three. So there’s no issue with President Trump in me. And complete faith in him. Two weeks is two weeks. Two weeks is two weeks. I just think these self-righteous, narcissistic reprobates. My God, I really want to mention them all, Mr. Producer, but I should bite my tongue for now, shouldn’t I? Mr. Producers. Yes. Yes, please. Sanctimonious buffoons. It’s bad enough when people are sanctimonious. It’s it’s worse when they’re buffoons and they’re sanctimonious. You can’t walk a tightrope on this. You’re either for civilization or you’re for primitive barbarians, either for civil society. You’re for terrorism. You’re either for the enemy having nuclear warheads on intercontinental ballistic missiles aimed at our country in a year or two or you’re not. You’re either a Jew hater, an anti-Semite, or you are. Well, you are not. Right. And we know who they are and they’re proud of it. It’s okay. Caroline Leavitt at the White House today. She was asked a question by Eli Lake, who is with the Free Press. And he asked a question that I’m curious about myself. Take a listen to this. Volume up one go. A few weeks ago, Tucker Carlson reported on a meeting between the president, Mark Levin and others at the White House. Is there a leak investigation? Can you say who else was in that meeting? I’m not aware of a leak investigation at this time. I, for one, do not reveal details about the president’s private meetings without his permission to do so. But certainly the president does not like when people leak. He takes that very seriously. This entire administration takes that seriously. And that’s why you’ve seen at agencies, some of the cabinet secretaries have been given the authority by the president to let go of staff who are engaged in such leaks, especially those that risk American national security. And I’m not going to reveal anything about who was in that meeting, but I know who was in that meeting. And I know who leaked directly or indirectly. Despite getting a call. Telling me they didn’t leak. And it can be that you go back to your office and you inform people. About what was said and maybe you don’t intended to be leaked, but loose lips, baby. I don’t know how many more times you got to hear. Sink ships and they’re all over the place. And it’s the embeds. It’s the isolationist embeds. It is the it’s the coke heads of the Soros Marxists. Who have secreted themselves into this department or that department. They know who they are. Now, who would leak? Who would leak? To Chatsworth, Qatar. Wilson. You know, this investigation wouldn’t take very long, would it? Now, it wouldn’t take very long at all. Maybe. Maybe Chatsworth will just cough it up. They will just tell us. Maybe the guy at Axios. This guy Ravi. Maybe he’ll just tell us why are these leaks always in one direction? Whenever the president makes a decision or they are concerned, he’s going to make a decision that’s on behalf of our national security, our national security income, the leaks. Oh, my God. Trump and Netanyahu at loggerheads. Netanyahu says that’s not true. Trump says it’s not true. Trump even puts out a social media site here. So. Who is it? Who is it that hates Israel? It’s the fifth column isolationist. Oh, no, no, no. Mark, you don’t understand. They like Israel. They’re just against war. Okay. So Israel’s great. They just can’t defend themselves. These people are stupid. Stupid. And the American people know it. 80% of the American people stand with you and me. 84% of the Republicans stand with you and me. That means almost nobody stands with the reprobates. Despite them being promoted by Media White and Dan Abrams. And Colby Hall gutless wonder that he is. And Charlie Nash. Boy, he’s quite an investigative reporter. He writes a piece. Then he goes in, he looks at who’s making comments. Oh, look at this. The conservatives are upset. Five morons, one of whom works for Mac Gates. Is there a bigger sleazeball than Matt Gaetz? Yeah, there is actually. There’s a lot of them. But nonetheless, while the conservative movement is rising up. And they don’t care if they get Nazis and neo-Nazis and Klansmen in their ass and they own the site. You know, I don’t own X and all these other sites. They own that site and they get. Revenue based on the number of people who have eyes on that. They don’t care if these people wear robes, white robes, they don’t care. And so this is why they do what they do. This is why Colby Hall, who runs the operation, is a gutless wonder when come on this program. I wanted to have a discussion with him about the mission of this company. I wanted to have a discussion with him about a whole host of things. First he said yes. Then he said, I’m not going to be subjected to insults. Mr. Producer goes back and says, Mark says none of that’s going to happen. It’s going to be very professional while professionals in the eye of beholder. So he’s a weasel. They hide behind their their laptops. Probably without pants. Probably they haven’t showered for seven days. Right. Probably eating pretzels. And you know, you understand. They don’t want to be questioned. I mean, I was going to be perfectly seriously polite because that that site is very diabolical. Reminds me of media matters. Um, and they’re getting the clicks that they want, apparently. So if you’re a neo-Nazi or a Klansman or whatever you are, you’re welcome over there to mediate your call. Your comments are very well, very much welcome. And as a matter of fact, we we have a report here. I’ll try and get it during the break that in addition to all this, a lot of foreign governments are involved trying to influence decision making. Guess what? They don’t like Israel. Guess what? They like Iran. So when you go on the Internet, the Internet, there’s a lot of good that comes out of it, but it’s also a toilet bowl. For human turds. Toss out a toilet bowl. And it’s been penetrated by a lot of foreign governments. There’s a report out on this I think I saw online. I think I linked to it. Iran. China. Rasha, you know all of our friends. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
You know, I watch sometimes these very shows, the discussions. You know, it’s interesting. You know, it’s almost never discussed. The people of Israel. So for two weeks, the people of Israel are going to have ballistic missiles raining down on them. Because the Islamo Nazi regime is targeting the citizens, Tel Aviv in particular, hospitals and other places. The sirens going off, the endless runs, the bomb shelters and. Public garages and so forth and so on. Imagine being a mother or father trying to raise a little kid. There is the whole country. Imagine. Now watch these people on TV. They go at two weeks. It’s strategic. It’s so that that never comes into the discussion, the quality of life, what’s being done over there. It’s not only. Survival. But it’s the quality of life. It’s a democracy. It’s the only one. These missiles are flying in for the purpose of doing the most damage possible. Meantime, the restraint shown by the Israelis not hitting population centers, desperately trying to avoid them. There’s no discussion about this. It’s as if the lives of these people don’t even matter. To the media. When’s the last time they discussed it at Mediate or the Drudge Report or Politico or Axios? They never discuss it. Now making these comments. They’re all listening in on this program. Are they going to. Are they going to mention what I’m saying here about that? And keep something in mind. The fifth column, isolationist. They don’t give a damn about the Israelis lives at all while we support Israel. But there is no. But you don’t even care about our lives. You don’t even care about the fact that this regime killed hundreds of American soldiers. Killed them. Maimed thousands of American soldiers. Through their proxies and directly through ads. Never comes up in their discussion, ever. They’ve got three bumper stickers and that’s it. Then they claim to be patriotic. They’re not patriotic. They claim to represent America. Many of them are un-American. Their instincts are wrong. Their belief systems don’t make sense. They’re not MAGA. Make America great again. MAGA is against them. They’re fake MAGA. They’re not pro-Trump. They turned on them. They stabbed them in the back. The first chance they got. First chance they got. And in two weeks of Trump decides. To send the bombers, the bunker busters, they’ll attack them again. Not just an honest difference of opinion. He’s complicit in war. Isn’t that what Katie Carlson said? Something like that. He’s doing the bidding of the Jews and Netanyahu is being played. Isn’t that what another genius said? They have no respect for him. Again, this is my friend. This is somebody I am my wife’s friend, our family’s friend. Man I admire. And the right decisions will be made. Many of them have been made. He’s still playing them out. I have my own opinions. I voice them. I avoid them. No surprises here or there. There is no manga division when it comes to Iran. I told you that a week or two ago when I was responding to this reprobate, Colby Hall’s piece. Look at the divisions of MAGA. They want a division in MAGA, meaning they want to undermine Trump. There are no divisions in Maga Maga. The vast majority of the Republican Party, the vast majority of conservatives. The vast majority of independents. Even Democrats. Back Donald Trump on this issue. They want that nuclear site gone. Should he decide to listen to the other side, then they won’t back him on that issue. But ultimately, in my view, he’s not going to. He’s drawn the red line. He’s drawn the red line. Let me help the Iranian Nazis. They run that regime. It’s three words. You can put it down, put it in Farsi. We’ll find an interpreter. We surrender unconditionally. That’s it. You don’t need two weeks to write that. You only need 2 minutes to write that. So where is it? Will it be forthcoming? I would like to know. Where is it? We shall see. We’re also going to keep an eye on if there is a deal. Exactly what is this deal? Well, we’ll see. Things will play out as they play out. Next hour, we have our friend Zuhdi Jasser. He’s a top reformer. Top reformer creating a movement in the Muslim movement. Up against the Islamists. The fundamentalists. Which is a very dangerous thing. He’s a man of deep faith. But he also understands that other people have deep faith, too, and they’re allowed to do that. They’re allowed to have that. They’re allowed to exercise. That’s right. In the mindset of the Islamo Nazi regime in Iran. We want to pursue that because clearly the low IQ mindset of the Fifth Column isolationists have no idea, No idea. They just burp up their bumper stickers. We’ll be right back.
