Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. You know, I’ve done my best today to gather as much information I can about what we are doing and the Iranians are doing. But I’m getting a mixed bag. And sometimes I’m thinking we want to deal more. Desperately than the enemy, which is never a good situation. And that the enemy thinks we want a deal more than they want to deal. You know, I remember when we never used to negotiate with terrorists. Here we negotiate with terrorists Repeatedly. Constantly. I understand the reason for it. Trust me, I do. But they are terrorists. And why would terrorists keep their word? They’re called terrorists for a reason, right? They’re not civil. They believe Allah has told them to do what they do. Allah. Has told them to kill, destroy. Torture. Rape. Brutalize. In order to conquer, devour and convert other people. Murder them if you must choke. In the most horrific ways possible. They claim Allah directs them to do it. So when they’re at a negotiation table, these terrorists. They don’t have a Western mindset. Okay. They exist to do what they’re doing. Does anybody understand that? Because I think the West, our leaders in the West, whether it’s Yawp or here, where they’re having trouble getting their heads around this, that is this regime exists not to run a country. Not to run a country. But to expand the revolution to the entire globe, to all humanity. Which is what they’ve they’ve done in Europe. They’ve done it in parts of the United States. You see it in New York City, you see it in Dearborn, in Paterson, New Jersey. You see what’s going on. You see what’s going on? So when they’re, quote unquote, negotiating. They have no intention of living up to any aspect of any deal. Would the devil wear the devil? Would the people who they seek to destroy. They’re not interested in it. On top of that when you have this. This mixture of. Of a religious fundamentalism with a political ideology. They view these as opportunities. And so they’re dragging it out. They’re making it slow. And I just hope that the people who are negotiating for us, Wyckoff and others. Understand this. But even if they do understand it. Then I don’t think we’d be going through all these steps, do you, Mr. Minister? This is not an enemy. That you can have a detente with. It’s not an enemy. Well, let me put it this way. The president has said over and over again, they’re nuts. They’re lunatics. They’re sick. Well, that’s all correct. Now, do you think they slaughtered 50,000 of their own people in January? They’re executing them left and right as I speak. Nobody even talks about it anymore. Because they they want to make some deal. Their foreign minister said a week or two ago, he said, we’re not going to give you at the negotiating table. What you can’t get on the battlefield. So. I’m deeply concerned about this because the one thing nobody’s talking about and you won’t find it in any newspaper, you won’t find it in any on any Web site, you won’t find anywheres. Enforcement. Enforcement. How do we enforce whatever we agreed to? How do we find out if they’re violent? Well, we’ll have satellites everywhere. We’ll have. But you can’t find everything. It’s a huge country if you look on the map. The authority. They already were able to do a number of things that we didn’t know about, like the distance of their ballistic missiles. How was the satellite going to figure that out? How are we going to stop the Communist Chinese? Our new buddies? They’re not our buddies, our enemy. How are we going to stop them from helping Iran if we find them helping Iran? What are we going to do? Nothing. Not a damn thing. What are we going to do if we find Russia helping Iran? Nothing. North Korea? Nothing. And that includes when President Trump leaves office, who’s going to do anything? Look at how we. We go on and on and on about a gallon of gasoline. And I’m going to get into that in a moment. Of course, it’s much higher. But again, I want to get into this with you. I’m not unsympathetic about it. It’s significant. But context is everything. Context is everything. I went to the ATM machine today. They used to charge three bucks for its use. Now it’s four bucks. What are you going to do, Ray Rich? What are you going to do? I don’t hear Hue and cry over that. I didn’t hear a hue and cry when the price of gasoline went up under Biden. Nothing. Inflation under by nothing. But that’s a side point I only want to get into. I want to get into. Our sacrifice, the great sacrifice we’re making in order to ensure this country. Or that regime better said, doesn’t get a nuclear weapon. But it’s more than that. You know what else? We’re not discussing an additional enforcement ballistic missiles. Ballistic missiles. The size of a yellow school bus. A big school bus. And they do massive damage. And the Iranian regime. Hey, close to 10,000 of them. Now, they may, according to what I read, have a thousand or 1100 of them. They’ve come to be able to make them rather easily in the big scheme of things, putting it in context. With the help of communist China, with the fuel that they need, a specialized fuel. I don’t even hear that being discussed. Not a word. What about Hezbollah? As Bella survives when they’re on their back. And what about the politics of all this? We want to win the midterm elections. If there’s a deal made, do you think the Democrats are going to sit back and applaud? Well, we get a great deal here. I’ll tell you right now what they’re going to say. It’s Obama 2.0 that there was no need to go to war. Look what we got. We didn’t get anything. More promises can’t be enforced. These are. Potentially accurate statements? I don’t know. The regime lives. Hezbollah lives continue. It can continue to be supported by the mothership. Iran. You know, Hamas has not been disarmed yet. Remember all that talk? Remember I told you that’s not going to happen? Remember all the talk? Phase two of the deal has never really been implemented in any effective way. I think the American people are not going to tolerate a bad deal. All the talk, all the polls, all the nonsense aside. The American people are going to wonder what we did. I think the American people, you would better understand if we did this. We followed through. We destroyed the regime. However, it needs to be destroyed. Then we left. And the price of gasoline goes down. It was very clear to me the other day when I took calls for really an hour and a half. The board was for every second. And I don’t usually do that through a question out to the audience. It’s been several years, but I thought this was important. Very important enough anyway. And every single one of you said, finish the job. Let’s get it over with. They say people are tiring. What are people are tiring about is if they don’t do this, we’re going to do that and then it’s okay, two more weeks. So they don’t do this. We’re going to do that. Okay, two more. I think that’s what’s annoying you. If I heard you correctly. If I heard you correctly. What’s being bounced around out there, at least I’m hearing, is a letter of intent and what the parties intend to do and 30 days to negotiate. Again, you understand we’re dealing with a terrorist regime that has never, never honored a single damn thing it’s ever signed. Right? I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
World War Two. Mark, It’s not World War Two. That’s not my point, is it? That’s not my point at all. World War Two is a horrific war. We had what has been our sacrifice in this war? Ladies and gentlemen, I mean, the vast majority of Americans who don’t have family over there fighting. And so what is what’s what’s been our secret zero? The price of a gallon of gasoline. Let me ask a question. If the Iranian regime had successfully launched a nuclear missile, likely more than one. If they can launch one, they can launch more than one against our country. And it was later learned by those of us who might be left that if we had preemptively attacked the regime, we could have stopped it. And our sacrifice. That is the public’s. It would have been a temporary increase in the price of a gallon of gasoline. What do you think the reaction would be today? The reaction would be. Absolute. Discussed. Beyond belief. That that’s the price we would have to pay. That’s it. National Park Service during World War II. During the Second World War, World War two Americans were asked to make sacrifices in many ways. Rationing was not only one of the ways, but. It was a way Americans contributed to the war effort. When the U.S. declared war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, you might say we weren’t attacked. This wasn’t imminent. That’s an excuse. What if we’re attacked in a year? Two years, six years? The whole point here is to be preventative. The United States government created a system of rationing, limiting the amount of certain goods that a person could purchase. Supplies such as gasoline, butter, sugar and canned milk were rationed because they needed to be diverted to the war effort. The war also disrupted trade, limiting the availability of some goods, for instance. The Japanese Imperial Army controlled the Dutch East Indies. Today’s Indonesia from March 1942 to September 1945, creating a shortage of rubber that affected American production. On August 28, 1941, FDR issued Executive Order 8875, he created the Office of Price Administration, the OPA. Their main responsibility was to place a ceiling on prices of most goods and to limit consumption by rationing. This is what our parents and grandparents went through. Those of us who are citizens and not recent citizens. Americans receive their first ration cards in May 1942. Now, the first card called the war Ration card number one became known as the sugar book for one of the commodities Americans could purchase with their ration card. Other ration cards developed as the war progressed. I guarantee you 90% of you never heard about this Ration cards Included stamps were drawings of airplanes, guns, tanks, aircraft, ears of wheat and fruit, which were used to purchase these rationed items. The OPA ration. Think of the power the government had. The OPA rationed. Automobiles, tires, gasoline, fuel, oil, coal, firewood, nylons, silk shoes. Americans used their ration cards and stamps to take their meager share of household staples, including meat, dairy, coffee, dried foods, jams, jellies, lard, shortening and oils. Everything was rationed. Americans learned, as they did during the Great Depression to do without sacrificing certain items during the war became the norm. For most Americans, it was considered a common good for the war effort, and it affected every American household. Here is the one every single damn day. What’s the price of gasoline when we’re trying to prevent this regime from ever getting nuclear weapons that will be used against us? Let me add this. If they succeeded in getting a nuclear weapon or more and fired them into our country and one or even two succeeded. They would have killed hundreds and hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens. Or maybe you and your family. Unbelievable. You know what else was outlawed gold yet eternal your golden. Yet it turned all your gold into the government. And if you were caught holding on to gold somehow, someway, you paid a drastic fine. Now, does this provide a little bit of perspective? That’s why we call it the greatest generation. And to watch our media and the Democrats and some Republican political analysts tell us, are the price of gasoline. Come on, guys.

Segment 3
Oh yeah everybody Chip Roy will be with us in our three You needs to be the attorney general of Texas. Texas wants to survive as Texas. You know somebody like Chip Roy Smart as they come motivated as they come and very aggressive in what he will do to try and save Texas. Brad Lander is a New York Democratic congressional candidate. America. And he’s Jewish. Mm hmm. But he’s the kind of Jew that the Islamists. Love is a self-hating Jew. Shake this group J Street, that’s filled with self-hating Jews. Who put their radical left wing ideology. Before everything else. In my view, that includes our country, then includes their faith, their ethnicity. And it’s not the only faith in which you have reprobates like that. There are other faiths to. But I’m speaking of my faith. And this guy doesn’t get any lower than it gets. And he panders to the most radical elements, most radical elements in the Islamist world. A jackass like him figure as well. If I do that, they’ll vote for me. Hey, brother. You do that and you go to Gaza. Go ahead. Go to Gaza. They will behead you. They don’t give a damn. These are terrorists, you know. Watch your mouth, Mark. Obviously not everybody. But too many. Too many. I saw one report that said 20% of the Muslim community, Mr. Produce. Now there’s about 2 billion. What if it was 2%? Here’s this guy, Brad Lander, New York Democratic congressional candidate. Cut one go. I believe as a proud Jewish New Yorker. You know, he sounds like this guy. Blumenthal from Kent, Connecticut, doesn’t eat the Grim Reaper. I believe it’s a proud Jewish New Yorker. You know. During the Holocaust, the horrible, horrible thing. You saw humanity at its worst and you saw humanity here and there at its best. You had these couples, they would come. These Jewish individuals who would work for the Nazis. They wanted to save their own lives, of course, but some of them were more eager than others. Are you calling Brad Lander that? Of course. I would never do that. How dare you? But I am letting you know the mindset. Let’s start from the top. Cut one, go. I believe as a proud Jewish New Yorker, that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is a desecration, is a violation of the understanding that everyone is created in God’s image, Every one of those Palestinian kids in Gaza just as divine as my beloved children. And so. Yet. Hold on here. The reports are all out now from international committees that hate Israel, hate Netanyahu. The head of one of them, the ICC, said there’s no evidence of genocide. He was pressed. He said there’s no evidence of genocide. And yet here you have a guy that is such a radical leftist. He’s Jewish. That he still insists that there was. And that’s the kind of guy that these woke right neofascist cling on to. That the mandate is cling on to that the alien Omar’s clinging on to that the Rashida leaves cling on to the Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders is one of them. He’s one of them. Go ahead, Mr. Producer. Press I will not vote for any more U.S. military aid to Israel, not the bombs that are destroying the hospitals and schools in Gaza. Now, now, the bombs had to do this in the hallways talking about this. That the Israelis are bombing schools and hospitals in Gaza. We all know why they’re doing what they’re doing and they’re not randomly attacking schools and hospitals in Gaza. So this guy really is. Really is the worst kind of a human being. He knows this didn’t happen. As a matter of military policy. He knows that it only happened when Hamas was using those facilities. He knows that they didn’t commit genocide because the reports are out. And yet here he is, a Jew talking to Muslims about how they did all these things. About how they did all these things. Imagine how I feel about this. I had to fight this every damn day. And they look at this bastard. Go ahead. The occupation in Lebanon, which is now, I believe, unfortunately, on its way potentially to being a genocide as well. You pation in Lebanon. Hezbollah’s in Lebanon. They’ve shot about a thousand missiles and rockets. Excuse me, 100,000 missiles and rockets out of 160,000 into Israel. They are funded by Iran. In the 1970s. They created a civil war there purposely. They overthrew the Christian prime minister, the president. They murdered him. They assassinated him. They took over the government. Now the government there would like to break away from Hezbollah, but it doesn’t have the strength. It doesn’t have the military to do it, even though it has a military. Occupation. Of Lebanon. What the Israelis have said is we need a buffer zone so they can’t keep shooting missiles into our towns and cities. Imagine what we would do, America. But here’s the thing. You don’t have to imagine much. We wouldn’t put up with it. And Brad Lander and the people he’s talking to would be attacking us, the United States of America, for doing what we need to do to protect ourselves. I’ve told you a thousand times, if you hate America, you hate Israel. If you hate Israel, you hate America. Look at how Tucker Carlson has turned on our country. That could foment this. Look at the whole crowd, that whole cabal of Neanderthals. Attacking our country, attacking our military, accusing us of being imperialistic warmongers. Using our country of this. Go ahead. And a partnership I developed with Zoran I hope to come to have with Rasheeda, Talib and Ilhan Omar and others in Congress to show we can build a city and a country and a world that everyone can afford and where everyone is welcome and where everyone’s humanity is respected. Bismillah knew. Rahman knew Rahim. Cool, cool. And he’s reading the Koran in Arabic now. He’s reading the Koran in Arabic. That’s how desperate this guy wants this seat in Congress. Go ahead. Abu Ahmad Allah, who summoned Lamia lead one Lamu Lod while I’m MIA. Cool, cool, cool, fun, fun. Thank you very much for welcoming me today. It’s just incredible to me. And the guy leading the effort against Israel in the Senate is Bernie Sanders, who’s a Stalinist, doesn’t give a crap. About faith. If you’re a Stalinist or communist, you don’t even believe in faith. But he does the same thing as this guy does. I’m Jewish and even I don’t support Israel. But I point out their genocide. But I do that just like this kind of. You see Beavis and Butthead? Which one does he sound like? It doesn’t really matter. Yes. And that’s that’s why we believe. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
January. I remember my good friend Bruce out there on the West Coast. It reminded me it was President Trump who famously said Iran never won a war but never lost a negotiation. Did you know that, Mister Producer? In 2020. Well, of course, it’s the president who’s negotiating. So he’s the greatest of negotiators. There’s no question about that. But it’s something. It’s something to recall. Something to remember. As we go through. This is a woman by the name of Maureen Galindo, Democrat, running for Congress in Texas. And we helped break this story was sent to me. They a friend of ours? Sandy Hagi. His father is Jan, the great pastor in the great ministry that I talk about every day. And she’s running for a nomination in. The 35th District of Texas. And. Let’s just take a listen to this. Cut to go. I’m sorry to all. Journalist If I missed your email or some social media message, it got lost in a wave of hundreds. But. Right. And the most vile things. I’m in Texas. I know maga. This is worse than MAGA. That’s because MAGA and sometimes I am infamous for the just overtaking of. Okay, but this is the message I’m just sending out in bulk. I never said I wasn’t using internment camps. Literally never said it. I said I want to close all detention centers, all ICE detention centers and put billionaire American Zionists who are funding the genocidal prison systems involved in trafficking into prison if they committed a crime. Do they not belong in prison? The internment camps comment was made up by a journalist here who literally wants me dead, who literally, I believe, wants me dead. So did triple C coordinated all this because they want their billionaire Zionist backed cop candidate, the cop, the PR guy for the deadliest jail and. And it’s I’m getting comments. I’m getting messages from people who’ve been there, too. And I’m against all internment camps and would like to see them all shut down ASAP, starting with the many in South Texas. I am and also this PAC that’s spending a whole bunch of money on my campaign. That’s enough. She’s an absolute nutjob. You know, she clarified it. It didn’t help. Mark Goldfeder was on my Fox show. Last Saturday. He explained what a Zionist is and I wanted him to explain it. I’ve known as Zionist is obviously, but he explained it. Mount Zion. Is literally the birthplace of Judaism. Yes. And it’s in the. Disputed occupied territory of Israel, you see. Now, this is 4000 years ago, before there was anything called Islam, before there was Christianity. And of course, this whole Palestinian issue, Palestinians, the name is a concoction first promoted by the KGB. And the Palestinian leader was an Egyptian by the name of Arafat. And all the rest of it. But the point is this. What’s happening is the Jew haters, the Israel haters, call them what you will. They’re using Zionists as something separate from a Jew. There would be no Jews but for the fact of Mount Zion. So when they say we’re not against Jews who are against Zionists, it’s the same exact thing. The same exact thing. You know, this this whole argument is nuts. It wasn’t until President Polk, who I consider one of our greatest presidents. That Texas became part of the United States. A New Mexico became part of the United States and Arizona became part of the United States. The Washington state became part of the United States, that Oregon became part of the United States. California became part of the United States. Well, what don’t you think, Mr. Producer? Now, there were other countries that claimed a right to that Mexico, one of them. A big one of them. Do we sit around and debate whether Texas is occupied territory? Or California’s occupied territory or Arizona or New Mexico, their occupied territory or the Northwest is occupied territory. Wouldn’t that be stupid? And would we even entertain such a debate? That’s 180 years ago. We’re talking about 4000 years ago in the Middle East. When there were no such thing as Muslims, no such thing as Palestinians. 4000 years ago. Mount Zion. Zionists. Jews. And yet they have to keep defending their very existence and homeland. Do we debate the issue of Indian reservations in this country? What is the left say? What is the left say? You know, you can go along the East Coast and other parts of the country, a lot of other parts of the country. And you have rivers named in communities like the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. That’s Schuylkill Indians. You can go on and on about that, right. Do we debate today in any serious way? That we live on occupied land. In New York, Pennsylvania, the Allegheny County area. I mean, I can go on and on and on. Of course not. That you’re living on occupied land. Everybody. You got a home on occupied land. It doesn’t belong to you. That was 140 years ago. Zionist now Zion. Just remember what I’m telling you. I’ll be right back.
