Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here.  Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. You get battered with a lot of static, a lot of propaganda, a lot of agitprop. A lot of partisanship. And sometimes I’m sure you get a headache from it. You’re sick of it. You don’t know who to believe and who not to believe. I get it. I understand it. I really do. As I step back and watch what’s going on in the country. With the Marxist Islamists with the woke Reich. With the media with aggregation sites. We’ve got a mess on our hands. A big mess on our hands. It’s not all spontaneous. Some of it, if not much of it, has been funded by enemy countries, by billionaires. You try to take down our country, Soros and others. We’ve got a Democrat Party that puts their power, their interests ahead of the country. We’ve had an open borders policy under the Democrats that have resulted in individuals coming into the country who hate us and want to destroy us from within. So we have Islamists now in Congress. We now have Communists in Congress, Bernie Sanders and a whole phalanx in the House. Our public schools are largely a disaster. Our colleges and universities, for the most part, are indoctrination mills, all against the founding, all against the civil society. And so you have to be very discerning about who you’re going to listen to, what you’re going to read, how you were raised, what you were taught, your principles, your faith. Your intuition, your experiences, all very important at a time like this. Now, I have to tell you, as a person who is a very independent voice on these things, I come under enormous attacks. And let me tell you something. I can handle every one of them. That’s not the point. But there are people who can’t. There’s an entire intimidation industry that goes on through media, through politicians. Through corporations. There truly is. On top of all this, you’re provided with what I call unreality. Unreality is a picture of our country. That is wrong and a picture of other countries that are wrong. And so I’m constantly searching for historical examples, whether they be ancient history or more modern history. And people and how they have wrestled with these things and how they address them. The good, the bad and the ugly. And so I want to tell you a little bit about Winston Churchill in the so-called wilderness years. And I’m taking this from an article that was written by James HUME in his book on Churchill, The Prophetic statement A Statesman, Prophetic. It says in part, In the early 1930s, Churchill no longer had a government position. He seemed out of touch by opposing such positions as giving greater independence to India. He continued to write books and newspaper articles from his house in Kent. He also was a big painter, by the way. His paintings are worth millions. But many thought his political career was over. Was over. You only came back to notice through his opposition that Hitler’s new Nazi dictatorship in Germany and his repeated calls for British rearmament. He was called a warmonger. Out of touch. Britain, like the United States and France and other countries, were isolationist. Like a big percentage of our population and a bigger percentage of the so-called elite in our country. During the 1930s, Churchill would regularly rail off the back from the backbench the increasing numbers of German weaponry and planes to an unlisted government. And an unlicensed public. He sought to buttress his argument for increasing British preparedness, but his warnings went unheeded. Churchill would later call that period his years in the wilderness. It is exile from power, and the clarity of his warnings provided him with the moral authority to lead the nation decisively when he finally became prime minister in May of 1940. As he explained in the first volume of his memoirs on the Second World War, quote, My warnings over the last six years have been so numerous, so detailed, we’re now so terribly vindicated that no one could gainsay me. The church wilderness years have to be likened to the biblical prophet Jeremiah, who pleaded in the desert for the people of Israel to change their ways. Others compared him to Kassandra, the prophet of Troy. Whom Apollo cursed was always being unheeded. The best comparison is to that of Athenian orator. Démocrates. Hold on. I got a silence. This. This is important. Hold on. Hold on. I shoot. Here we go. Okay, who will? It is rhetorical gifts to warn of the military threat from the second of Macedon. The Athenians ignored him too, until war was upon them. Churchill’s warnings about Hitler, however, were not simply about the number of tanks and planes. Armaments alone, he understood, were not the cause of war. It was the character and designs of a nation’s leaders. That determined war or peace. Churchill grasped early on that contrary to conventional wisdom, the enthusiasm of disarmament after World War One would increase the likelihood of another European war. Even without a Hitler. In the rush to disarmament conditions were swiftly created by the victorious allies, which, in the name of peace, cleared the way for the renewal of war, he wrote. He went on the crimes of the vanquished Find their background and their explanation, though not, of course, their pardon and the families of the victims. Without these follies, crime would have found neither temptation nor opportunity. The Churchill Wilderness years ended with when war finally broke out in September 1939. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain made him First Lord of the Admiralty, same position that he held at the outbreak of the First World War. Peace in our time. Massive majority support throughout Europe and particularly in Britain. Hitler bought time. Always focused on Britain. And then he attacked and the British were not ready. The British were not properly armed. The people weren’t ready, psychologically or otherwise. And this is what I want to talk to you about. I’m very worried. About the psychology that we have in our country among our people. I don’t know if it’s a majority, a minority. An equal divide or what? Then when we have a president who’s trying to take down a regime. It has made it abundantly clear that it wants nuclear weapons and they want to fire those missiles at us. People don’t believe them. They argue. They argue. This is a a war of choice. This is a war of distraction. This is an unnecessary war. And besides, the price of gasoline is going up. The price of gasoline is going up. Okay for the price of gasoline to go up if we’re talking about climate change. But not when it comes to defending ourselves in a war to prevent. A seventh century barbaric regime. From from developing. A final weapon that could destroy our entire civilization. Are we psychologically prepared to stand up to this? I mean, we know the president is. We know a number of us are. But what about the rest of the country? We don’t even have a draft. It’s an all volunteer military. People aren’t being forced to fight. People have volunteered. And all we get is about. The price of gasoline, which is still less than it was three or four years ago under Biden. We don’t have mass casualties. The vast majority of us are utterly unaffected by this other than paying another dollar a gallon. But the vitriol, the anger, the vile. Whether it’s the woke Reich, neo fascist isolationists, whether it is the Marxists or the isolationists, whether it is. Newspapers or media, whether it’s. Organizations like Media Eat and the Drudge Report. It’s constant. Consider. Now we know that communist China sees that the effectiveness and power of our military. But they also see something else. That we the people, are a certain percentage of us and it’s not a small percentage are not up to this. Even when facing an enemy that has killed thousands of our countrymen, they tried to assassinate our president. That murder, 241 Marines, soldiers and sailors in a barracks that blew up two of our embassies. And on and on and on. We have a certain percentage of the population that not only doesn’t care. But is attacking those of us who do. With all kinds of slogans and. The usual stuff. And especially the use. Of Jew hatred. Of Israel. Hatred of Netanyahu, hatred. For what? They dragged us into the war. Now we know nobody dragged us into a war. That’s not what happened with President Trump or his cabinet. We know this for a fact. But it continues. It continues. And my fear is this is the 1930s in many respects. But in one significant respect it is not. This is the kind of Jew hatred that did not exist in Britain in the 1930s, but existed in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. In other words, it’s not just about isolationism. It’s about Third Reich ism. With a nick for Winters. But the Tucker Carlson. With an Alex Jones with a la Steve Bannon. The list is a long one. With a Mandami. With an AOC, with a Taliban and Omar and a Bernie Sanders. And that list is a long one, too. With Media eight and the Drudge Report. And Politico and Axios. And all these news sites. That promote this stuff. Are treated as just. Internal fights. It takes strong voices. People were real character. True faith and principles. Red blooded Americans. To stand up to this. They hate Trump, but he’s standing up to it. He’s told me personally he is shocked and disgusted by the level of anti-Semitism and Jew hatred. That he is shocked and disgusted by the attacks on Israel and their prime Minister, Netanyahu. His father. Fred. Fred. Trump. Was very close to the Jewish community in Brooklyn. He gave them a building so they could have a synagogue for $1. They wanted to make a big deal of his donation. He said, No, no. So they put a little plaque on the building and it’s still there. These things go hand in glove. More when I return.

Segment 2
Here’s my concern beyond the current circumstances. CUMMINS China’s looking at all of this. And we’re looking at the psychology of the American people, which obviously is not one psychology, but a significant percentage of the population. And one of the things they’re learning from this is. They can invade Taiwan. In that we won’t do a whole lot about it. In fact, they can do a lot in Southeast Asia, and we won’t do a lot about it. Then we’ll hear about forever wars, we’ll hear about warmongers, we’ll hear about the Jews, we’ll hear about all these other things which they have helped stoked with billions of dollars and internal propaganda in this country. And they see it and they see the Democrat Party as an enemy within the United States, immigration as an enemy within the United States, undermining our culture and our nation and websites.

Segment 3
I told you the other day about this. I think yesterday this guy named Colby Hall. He basically runs a site called Mediaite. It’s a very cheesy say so to use his National Enquirer type tabloid headlines. It exists not to inform. Not to educate, not for any really important reason it exists to make money. And it’s part of the sleazy underbelly of the media, the modern media today. And Kobe Hall, who’s relatively unaccomplished. He’s in charge of it. And he’s hired a lot of lefties, a couple of conservatives who are pretty good. But the main part of that site is very bad and it uniformly hates Trump. It’s anti the Iraq war. It basically promotes the Democrat Party and its surrogates at CNN and must now. In other locations. This guy is a commentator for I think it’s News Nation or News One. This Kobe Hall, He rides very poorly. Often incoherently. And he’s very angry. And he’s very unhinged, mentally unhinged. So he’s written three pieces about me in the last three days. Think about that. Taking what I see on Fox or on radio or elsewhere in twisting it, Twisting it, twisting it. And his goal is this. To silence me. Because this is what he does. He uses the site. Their headlines. To try and intimidate people. He’s dealing with the wrong person and again, intimidated. Not in the least, particularly not from a site like that which 99% of you never even heard of before. And really what they do is they steal. It’s legal, but they steal clips from Fox or the cable shows or from podcasts, video and so forth. They produce nothing original zero. They slap a sensationalistic headline on it. And then they twist it in some kind of a left wing way. With me. He’s trying to create. The impression of a psychological imbalance because the guy is nuts. Absolutely. A fraud and nuts. And we will continue to go blow the blow of the guy like that. And even when he stops, I’m not going to stop. You can keep following me on X and all our social sites and you’ll see Mr. Producer, in fact, take that and move it to the top. And we’ll continue to do that. He’s not going to silence me. He’s not going to intimidate me. A way of trying to destroy Donald Trump. But the conservative movement or the Republican Party, it’s not going to happen. So I almost laugh at this stuff. Laugh at it and you can read it on line. I would not go to his site, but you can read it online. And he refuses to come on the radio show. He refuses to come on the radio show. He’s a coward. You won’t have a discussion with us here. I want to know what the mission of the site is. I don’t know what Dan Abrams role is in it. I want to know how they choose their headlines. I want to know how they choose their articles. I want to know all about his background and his viewpoints, although I’m looking into that myself. But he won’t do it now. He’s a commentator for some cable channel and he’s in charge of this Web site for Dan Abrams, who’s sort of the Jerry Springer of cable TV. But he’s hiding. He’s a coward. It’s crazy, but he’s on the radar. We’ll keep an eye on this guy and we won’t give up because I believe in free speech. I believe in our principles and our cause. And we’re not going to allow whether it’s them or somebody else. To try and distract us from communicating with you, the American people and our beliefs. He doesn’t have to agree with them. A lot of people don’t agree with them, unfortunately, but a lot do. A lot doing it all started with him writing a piece. Attacking Fox, which he does relentlessly attacking me as deigning to Donald Trump. Before I raised questions about I don’t need punks like this who are unaccomplished. Who have no expertise in anything could be passing judgment on me psychologically or any other way without a full response. Now he does this to other people who don’t have a microphone or a TV show. So he’s used to doing these things. But now he’s up against something that he’s not used to. I’m going to continue to call them out. I’m going to continue to write responses. As a matter of fact, I think we’re going to soon go on offense and just write ourselves and he can respond to us. No, it’s not a waste of time. Yes, I am reaching down into the toilet to deal with this guy. But if I don’t do it, nobody else will. Mr. Producer. When we’re not going to allow it to just take place. It’s not going to happen. We’ve got this Mayor Mondavi, who’s really a lowlife. His wife’s a lowlife. I don’t know what else to call them. They really are into these terror organizations. They embrace them. They embrace guys like Piker. Hasan Medhi or Mehdi Hasan sank. All these people that then embraced these terror organizations like Hamas. We’re supposed to act like they’re discussions and their presence on the Internet. That’s okay. You know, regular debate. I notice Piers Morgan brings them on to this. Piers Morgan has been relentlessly trying to get me on his show. I’m not going on that show any more that I would go on Jerry Springer Show. Stupid, stupid show media a stupid site. That said, he’s on Al-Jazeera TV. Mamdani. The mayor of the biggest city in America in the middle of a war with Iran. Well, we have 50,000 military personnel. Where tens of thousands of Iranian young people have been murdered, slaughtered in cold blood and raped and brutalized. By regime. A Hitlerian regime. And this mayor goes on Al-Jazeera TV, which has hundreds of thousands of people watching throughout the Middle East and Southeast Asia, mostly Muslims. And gives aid and comfort to the enemy, Gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Here he is. Cut three. Go! I’ve made clear my very deep opposition to this war in Iran. And is an opposition not just of a procedural nature or a political nature, but frankly, of a moral nature. So the moral opposition is. On behalf of the enemy and against us. That’s his moral position. That’s his moral position. The mayor of New York City. Go ahead. That has killed thousands of civilians. A war that is deeply unpopular. Who’s killed thousands of civilians? US. What does he get that from? I haven’t seen that of you, Mr. British. Nobody has seen that. In fact, the enemy we’re fighting has killed tens of thousands of civilians and young people. Outrageous what he is saying on Al Jazeera TV that is going into the homes of hundreds of thousands of people in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, Pakistan and so forth. It’s it’s not only outrageous, it’s a lie. Go ahead. City and across this country, not just because of what we are seeing it result in, but also because it is utilizing tens of billions of dollars. To kill people money. So we are utilizing tens of billions of dollars to kill people. Is that what we’re doing, America? We’re using tens of billions of dollars to kill people. We’re using tens of billions of dollars to save people in our country, you and me. And the people in Iran, I hope, will find out soon enough. But that’s the goal. It is shocking. It would be like defending Nazi Germany. Against Britain. Or against the alliance. And, you know, it’s amazing when you look at World War Two. How many civilians really did die? Because cities were literal targets. Starting with the Nazis and the Japanese. And it would be Tojo, Imperial Japan and Fascist Italy. And a muzzle Leni. They were targeting citizens. They were killing citizens. Iran’s targeting citizens not just in Israel, but throughout the Arab world, slaughtering its own people. And this this post accuses us of using billions of dollars to kill people. Seriously. On Al Jazeera TV, and this hasn’t even made it on media. I guess it’s not that important. Mr.. But is. Go ahead. On making life easier for people across the city in this country. And the very things that I often speak about. We’re not spending enough money on socialism. We’re not spending enough money on redistributing wealth. We’re broke is broken by 39 trillion in the hole. And if you include unfunded entitlements for 300 trillion in the hole, our defense budget is down as a percentage of the GDP, way down. The president wants to pick it up. We need to. And he’s talking his Marxist Islamist pablum. In a hostile media forum. That is a propaganda operation that Qatar pays for state run Qatar media that is spread throughout the Middle East and Southeast Asia. That’s what this mayor is doing. Go ahead. Workers that we are told, are impossible or unrealistic. They would cost a fraction of this, tens of billions that we’re seeing. And to frustrate you that you’re watching this money, $900 million a day being spent on the war, where you have projects which not $900 million a day. But there you go with Al Jazeera. Go ahead. Make a huge difference. Is that frustrating? I think it should frustrate all of us. You know, I mean, Tupac said it decades ago. It continues to be true about Tupac. Tupac the rapper. Most of it is. Tupac. We’ll be right back.

Segment 4
By the way, Life, Liberty and Levin tomorrow night, we have General Jack Keane and Representative Elise Stefanik. Great show. Sunday. What’s in. Oh. General Keane is on Sunday. And Stefanik. Yeah. So who’s on Saturday? Do you know that? Brian Cox. Just kidding you. Who was on the program here about war crimes? There aren’t any. And John Fetterman and John Fetterman contact me, asked if he could come on again and he enjoyed it last time, But we have a lot to discuss. So Fetterman and Brian Cox on tomorrow night, Saturday night, and we have Cain, General Cain, who’s been fantastic, and Elise Stefanik, who is fantastic as well. So set your DVR at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, Saturday, 8 p.m. Eastern Time Sunday, and I hope you’ll join us. We’d love to have you. So you heard Mein Dami on Al Jazeera. How much time we are rich? All right. I want you to hear from this director Care in L.A.. Cut one, Go. American citizens are dying and getting wounded on behalf of a foreign country. But don’t think the war ends there. The whole area is in turmoil. The whole area is happening there. So let’s stop there. Who does he sound like? Mandate me and madame. Sounds like they have all their talking points. They have all their talking points. Now I’m going to save the rest of this for after the break. But there is a massive propaganda campaign going on in this country. A lot of it is funded by by foreign governments like Qatar. It’s been funded by Iran in the past. Parts of it are funded by communist China. Billions of dollars flowing into this country. I don’t know why we can’t get our hands around this and put an end to this. I really don’t. I don’t know why you’ve got individuals with microphones who are said to have been paid by foreign governments. I’d like to know who those people are, too, and what they’re up to. But there’s a whole PSYOP operation going on in this country. And then you have the left that’s busy from an ideological and really crazy perspective, trying to undermine the country as well. We’ll be right back.
