Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. Yeah, my mouth broke. Thanks for being here. You know, folks. Hope you had a good weekend. I speak the truth to you. You’re like a big family to me, and I let the chips fall where they may. Sometimes they fall in places you like. Sometimes they fall in places you may not like. I don’t know why the president of the United States feels the need to keep going to left wing reporters. And talking about confidential conversations he has with the prime minister of Israel. And I don’t know why he keeps bashing the prime minister of Israel, who’s trying to protect his country and his own people. Just a few weeks ago, their fighter jets were fighting right alongside ours. The Mossad was working with the CIA. And of course, the Prime Minister was working with the president. In what was a spectacular military operation. I know the president is deeply desperate for a deal. The Iranians, though, is deeply desperate for a deal. The whole world knows he’s deeply desperate for a deal. Got it. But the problem is the state of Israel is in the neighborhood. And when Hezbollah is shooting thousands of missiles into the state of Israel and tens of thousands of drones since the cease fire nine weeks ago on April 8th. And Israel’s told it can only fight a defensive war in Israel is told to stay away from Beirut, even though the the head of the snake is right outside of Beirut. And even in even after signing a so-called peace deal with the Lebanese government, which is a government that wants peace with Israel but has nothing to do with Hezbollah and cannot control Hezbollah. And then when they fight to push Hezbollah back because they’ve now had to depopulate the northern part of the country. It’s a tiny country. I want you to think of New Jersey in the top 20, 25% of New Jersey has to be pushed back. Hundreds of thousands of people depopulated and then they’re told they can only fight so much to stop it. The hypocrisy of our country that wouldn’t put up with it in the treatment of that country is ridiculous. In fact, we don’t ask any other country to do that. None. So why the constant beating up of Netanyahu? He wants to defeat the regime in Iran. We do not. We’ve decided not. We’ve decided, at least for now. Maybe next week, it’ll change. We’re not going to use our military to enforce anything except if they take action against us. So obviously, if you’re the Israelis and they’re firing weapons in your country and you want to take action. We would do exactly the same thing, would we? Not even more. So Ranch figured this out. So they fired 11 ballistic missiles into Israel, ballistic missiles that can blow a city block off the face of the earth the size of school buses. Each one carries £2,000. So Israel prepares to fight back and they get a call telling them they shouldn’t. But if they do to be very limited about it. So they go in and they hammer the hell out of them. And they want to finish the job, but they’re pulled back by us. They’re told, No, you come back. You want to be alone. You want to be the only ones. We didn’t do anything, anything much to support their effort. In fact, there was an announcement from the White House last night saying we had nothing to do with this. Our military is not involved. And I commented, Well, that’s nothing to be proud of. They were fighting alongside of us when we when we. Ask them to join us in our efforts. And of course, Iran sees all this. But most of all, you know who else sees all this, Mr. Producer? Communist China. Now, what do you think Communist China’s taking away from this? You think they’re more or less worried about us? Should they invade Taiwan? What do you think? Seriously. I don’t know why we beat up on an ally like this after praising them and embracing them and supporting them. Now that said. A lot of you are thinking this way. Like, what’s going on? Tyrus on Fox on the five. I’ve only talked to him once, I think, for a book interview. Mr. Producer. We’ve had him on. Very nice man, actually. Really sharp. And about an hour ago on Fox the five. He said this Cut 21 go. I think Iran is telling us to be like the America they’ve had dealt with decades. They’re looking at how Afghanistan well, maybe when America leaves, they leave us tanks and helicopters, too. We just have to wait this out. I think a lot of it in America, it’s easy for us to say, oh, this what’s going on over there is much. But the people who live in Israel, this is their front yard and their backyard. And they see and it’s hard to hold it against them and their government against them, like they can finally end this. Iran’s best friend in this whole situation is President Trump, because he’s the only one, because this is saying, hey, we’re on the table and Iran shoots at a ship. Okay, cool. We’ll just blow up the guys who did it. But we’re still willing to be at the table. If President Trump said, you know what, Israel and a lot of Kuwait and a lot of the places that Iran fired and he said, you guys handle it, there would be no more Iran. They would be it would be completely Iran’s best friend in this situation is the United States, because they’re the only one who can say to Israel right now, say, hey, stop firing. And that’s a lot to ask a country after. Forget just October seven. Look, forget the national worldwide campaign against them. This type of stuff, we’ve seen it in court here in America, on our college campuses, all around the world. So I sympathize with Israel’s need to want to be safe and free. And for us, we sit on the other side of the ocean going, well, this needs to stop. So Iran, if you have any brains left in, what did you call me in? It’s okay, Ayatollah. You know. You know, maybe it’s time to put on those dance shoes and and go out and serenade and call the president and get it done. Because if the president walks away from this, it’s not going to be like Afghanistan. Israel is coming and hell is coming with them. And so when the president, in an interview on television in Israeli maybe an hour or two ago. It is pretty rough on the prime minister there who’s up for election in October. So it’s very unhelpful to him. And they’ll be sorry about any of these other candidates who are elected. I can trust you on that one. Trust me on that. And he said is if Israel. You know, basically, if they don’t do what I tell them to do, they’re going to be left alone fighting Iran. They will whip Iran’s ass. And they want to destroy that regime and they will fund finally give arms to the people in Iran. They won’t give a damn what Turkey and air Iran has to say about it. Here’s the the interesting thing that they’re not reporting really on any news outlet. The Iranian people, the Lebanese people and the Israeli people. Are of one. They are united against this regime. The Israeli people want this regime defeated. The Persian people want this regime defeated and the Lebanese people want this regime and Hezbollah defeated tens of millions of people. The lifeline will be whatever deal we come up with, because that deal after the president leaves will not be enforceable. It just won’t. It just won’t. So Axios in this guy Barak. Ravi Barak. Ravi is an Israeli who worked for two of the worst publications in Israel, couldn’t hold his jobs. There goes to Axios, and this is the guy that receives the leaks, I guess, from the Oval Office or people around the president and who the president talks to all the time to put that information out. And you’ll notice that Netanyahu hasn’t gone to the press on any of the conversations. Moreover, I’m not aware that conversations our president has with any other head of state winds up being discussed in the media. I really have not seen it, but I’ve seen these things before. These efforts, these campaigns to diminish, to reduce. And I don’t think Netanyahu’s going to be pushed into submission. He can’t. The stakes are way too high. For exactly the reasons Tyra said. Tyrus is right, and a lot of you have been calling her saying exactly the same thing. And online, putting aside the bots and the Jew haters and the rest. A lot of people are saying the same thing. This is not helping us. This is not helping us with Iran. It’s not going to help us with a deal. In fact, what Israel did yesterday, if it’s a deal that the president is seeking, it certainly is. They helped. On the deal because they’re the only enforcers here in the Middle East dealing with Iran and Hezbollah. All right. Liberty’s voice today. Cut to Mr. Producer. Cut to go. I’m a very big Churchill fan, and we all should be. He’s one of the greatest leaders in the history of the world. He had a lot of differences with FDR. And then later after FDR died with Truman. And it basically came down to this during the negotiation toward the end of World War Two and at the end of World War Two, he said that you cannot trust Stalin. He’s a killer. He’s a communist who wants to conquer as much of the earth as he can, including Eastern Europe. In fact, Churchill said he already has his troops there and he won’t remove them in some of these countries. Now, says FDR, we can work this out. Then Truman, he meets with Truman. And Truman’s main goal is what? To get out of Europe to end the war. Get out of Europe. What did Stalin do? He put in phony governments with phony elections where they resisted, like in Hungary. The tanks rolled in and they just took them over. Churchill, in many ways is Netanyahu and what they’re dealing with in the Middle East. You see in the Middle East, including in Israel. If the price of a gallon of gasoline goes up $0.70 or a dollar and so forth, that’s a slight inconvenience, a temporary inconvenience all the way in the United States. For the Israelis, that cannot be the controlling factor. Over life and death. It cannot be the controlling factor. One more clip from today’s Liberty’s Voice. You can get it on Rumble and YouTube. Cut one, Go. Why don’t we think about two or three weeks of our beautiful bombers and our beautiful bombs and our jet fighters and everything and whatever we can. We target what we feel needs to be targeted at below them, the hell off the face of the earth. Mostly their SS. The IRGC do everything we can in that truncated period of time. Heavily. Hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer. And then say, okay, Israel, in any Arab country, do as you wish. And I believe the Israeli military would take care of that regime and remove it because they do want to arm the people there. They do want to do what has to be done. And if they have to send troops in there, they will send troops in there. See, I don’t think it’s a threat to Israel. When you say you may have to take on Iran alone. I don’t think it’s a threat to them at all. I think it’s part of their wish list. Quite frankly. It’s now the Arabs who are more worried, but not the Israelis. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Truth is, it’s the Arab countries, Turkey and Pakistan. They want us. It’s not all the Arab countries. It’s certainly the Arab countries. Turkey and Pakistan that want us to prevent Israel from wiping out the Iranian regime. And it’s not Israel. That’s the truth. So. There we go. All right. Let’s see here. President has a red line, though, when it comes to Iran. He told the Meet the Press before he rightly walked out on that that. Kristen Welker is a disgrace and a disaster to invite the president like that. Then basically to act like you’re some kind of a Democrat operative. We’ll get into that more in a little bit. I already post on here, but listen to this. Cut three, go. I want to know what your red line is. What would trigger you to restart military action? Would it be Iran killing more American citizens? Certainly that would be something that I would think about very seriously. But my red line would be if I think I wasn’t going to make a deal or if I wasn’t going to make a deal fast enough. So we’re having very good negotiations with the people that are leading the country now. The third group that we’ve been dealing with, and they are different and you could say it’s regime change actually, because these are very different people and would be more rational, Very smart. I don’t get that. More rational. What? What does that mean? They’re firing missiles, they’re attacking the Arab countries. They’re they’re attacking Israel. They’re supporting Hezbollah to attack Israel, to attack the people in Lebanon. I’m not sure I understand what that means. A moderate cease fire. I don’t know what that means either. Go ahead. Country names for, you know, who they are with their leaders. They’re respected and respected by the people that have to respect them. They are calling the shots. We know that because we see it through various soon. I’m going to tell you something. In the book I wrote on Freedom of the Press, there was a long interview that Ben Rhodes, who was the deputy national security adviser, but very much the the point of the spear in negotiating the Obama nuclear deal with Iran. He was bragging about the fact how they gave talking points to the press and controlled the press. In the main, the core issue was to convince them that the president of Iran was a moderate as opposed to the IRGC, which is the hard liners. And that we either make a deal now with this moderate president of Iran or the hardliners are going to take over. You said it was a complete farce. There were no moderates. There were no moderates. And you saw that delegates the American people are having in my book. And freedom of the press is one of the great scams in media history. Now we’re being told by moderates versus hardliners, they’re all hard liners. Moderates don’t get the live. They don’t survive. That’s a fantasy that performative art on the side of the Iranians. There are hard liners. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
By the way, all of this might cost Netanyahu his reelection in October because the Israeli people want Hezbollah stopped and they want Iran defeated. They’re tired of running to these bunkers. They’re tired of their. Young sons and daughters being killed in war. They see that Iran is on its back and they don’t understand what all this talk is about. A deal. And so this could cost Netanyahu his prime ministership. There are people in our government who want him to lose. They feel it’s easier to deal with leftists and left wingers. Who will have more approval by Saudi Arabia and Qatar and countries like that. The UAE is a little country, an Arab country, but it’s very smart because it realizes that when we, the United States, eventually leave that area at least. Um, most of our military, Israel’s going to be the only country that can help defend them. It’s not going to be any of the other Arab countries and defend them against who? Not just Iran, but Turkey now. Turkey. Erdogan. Turkey has some kind of in over in our government over there. I don’t know what they held. I think what’s going on with that. But reports said that he’s the one who opposed arming the Kurds, who he hates. And so the Kurds weren’t armed. There’s all kinds of reports about this out there. I’m just telling you. So there’s all kinds of things going on there. But. You know, the UAE wants to protect its people, too. And so it’s been working with Israel. According to published reports, I don’t have any inside information from anybody. Israel has provided them with some air defense systems, with some additional technologies and so forth and so on. And the UAE is part of the Abraham Accords. And you’ll notice the president’s not really pressuring the Arab countries, other than a few statements here and there to join the Abraham Accords. And not another one has not one. So I think Israel since 1948 has been through this sort of thing where they’re about to defeat an enemy and they’re pulled back. They’re about to defeat an enemy, and they’re pulled back and they’re pulled back and they’re pulled back again. There’s no other country in the face here that has to deal with this. And I suspect this is also why Netanyahu and the population there want independence and would rather have a partnership and have very little reliance on us or anybody else because they know one day the Democrats are going to take over and what a disaster that will be for them. So they’re building alliances with. India with, believe it or not, Germany with Greece. They’re running alliances again with the UAE and some of the smaller Arab countries behind the scenes. They’re building alliances with Argentina, who has a great president there? They’re building alliances with other countries where they can build alliances. They’re now the third biggest seller of military hardware. Where in the world where number one, China’s number two, they’re number three. Because their technological advances are second to none. Whether it’s lasers, whether it’s taking our brain or F-35s and improving them and then giving that technology to us, whether it’s the Iron Dome and providing that technology to us and so forth and so on. They just are so focused on this because they have to be. Their backs are against the wall. And so they’re going to build alliances with other countries. That’s clear. That’s what they’re doing. And then so you’re going to have people like Third Reich. Bannon Traitor. Tucker Carlson. Marjorie Trader Gangrene. Thomas Massie. You’re going to people like this. We’re going to celebrate it. Celebrate it and celebrate. And one day they’re going to wake up. And Israel will be working with other countries, not so much with us. Because they have to. Do I like it? No. Do I want that to happen? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. But you can have phone calls with the prime minister and then run to the press. I warned him this. I told him that. I told him that. I mean, it’s we don’t have that kind of thing happen when he’s an enemy. We don’t have that kind of thing happen with Putin. We don’t have that kind of thing happen with Qatar, Saudi Arabia. Do we? Am I missing something, Mr. Abbott? Never. So this is the beat down. This is the berating. This is the effort to get capitulation. But he can’t get capitulation to a point. He can, but he he can’t completely, because they have to defend themselves. I told you, I call it as I see it. I hope you watched my Fox shows over the weekend. Just pointing out what’s taking place. I love the president. He’s a friend of ours. Very, very good friend of ours. I appreciate everything he’s doing and trying to do. I really do. I really do. But my first responsibility is to you and a responsibility to him to tell him what I think, what I say. In private. I say in public and vice versa. That’s what I do. I’m not a head of state. It’s not a confidential discussion. It is what it is. To the extent I have confidential discussions, I don’t repeat them. I certainly don’t call on the press to discuss them. That’s a fact. All right, let’s keep going. Cut for? I go. When you were campaigning, you said you would rip up the Iran nuclear deal, but negotiate a better deal. Why didn’t you negotiate a better deal at the time? Because after it was ripped out, there were guardrails and they escalated their production of enriched uranium was May. It takes years to do these things. These people have been fighting for 47 years. They’ve been killing Americans. They’ve been taking off their legs and their and their faces have been. That’s an important point, isn’t it? So I do think that we to at least let the Israelis do more damage to them than not. Go ahead. I’m moving very fast. I’m into three months. You know, Vietnam lasted 19 years. I’m into my third month. And all I do is say, well, when are you going to end? If I were a Democrat, nobody would be talking that way. But it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve gotten so used to it that we have totally destroyed their military. They have some missiles left. They have some drones left. You know how many may have burned? Yes, exactly How many? I don’t want to tell you. Can you give me a lift? No, but I they have I know almost the number and we know where they are, too. And we know where their drones are and we know where their drone factories are. Most of the drone factories have been knocked out. Most of the launching pads have been knocked out, and most of the missile manufacturing areas have been knocked out. But they still have capacity. They have some missiles, they have some drones. I would say percentage wise, maybe 21, 22% of their missiles. It’s a lot of missiles, but it’s not what it was when we first attacked. Mm hmm. When we first attack. Who’s we? Mr. Producer? US and the Israelis. Right. Both. Here is Netanyahu today at a press conference. He’s never disrespectful to our country. He’s never disrespectful to the president. He’s very much a class act. Cut five. Go. Go. Currently, the fire on this front is held because after we struck the terrorism in Tehran, it sees attacking us. Should the terror regime make the mistake of attacking us again? We will respond with force because Israel has the full right to self-defense and we will exercise it as much as necessary. Can you imagine being him under enormous pressure? Not only do you have to deal with that enemy of the deal, the president is going to get on the phone and say, what are you doing trying to get a deal? You see, I’m trying to protect my country and my people. That’s what I’m trying to do. General Jack Keane, who’s really one of the best of the best given his experience and his background, a retired four star Army general, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs years ago. Cut six. Go. Yeah, Well, certainly when the Iranians fired 11 ballistic missiles in Israel, that was a development since the April 8th general ceasefire. And certainly from Israel’s perspective, any one of those missiles ever penetrated to kill hundreds of people. So there’s no way that they can accept something like that. And they obviously retaliated in kind. But when you draw back from this, we went to a general ceasefire on April the eighth, and who has been violating that ceasefire? You’ve been reporting on it. Iran began, but violations right there in the Straits of Hormuz, fast boats, drones interfering with traffic. We have defeated every single one of those. And then on April the 17th, specific ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon and who has been violating that ceasefire, Iran, over 2000 rockets and drones fired. Into northern Israel. Towns and villages evacuated, over 300 people wounded as a result of that. I’ve read the terms of the April 17th agreement is specified in the terms that Israel, both sides, can exercise offensive capability only when an attack is planned, it’s imminent or it’s in execution. I want to know what Israel has been doing. They’ve those attacks have been an execution and they’ve been eminent and they’ve been firing back at them from a defensive position and then they couldn’t stop them. So they said, we do have the authority to attack because they’re planning them. Where are they planning it from? Southern Beirut operational headquarters. They attack southern Beirut operational headquarters. As a result of that, which is permissible in the terms of the agreement, and as a result of that, Iran fired those 11 ballistic missiles. Now, I’ve been watching reports on this so-called news reports where they say Israel hit Hezbollah in Beirut. Iran responded. That’s not what happened. Hezbollah has been attacking Israel. Israel responded by going after the head of the snake. Outside right outside of Beirut. Then Iran fired the ballistic missiles because they feel now that they were able to do these kinds of things, because we will step in and say, stop fighting, stop having fun, cut it out. That’s enough. We’re trying to make a deal. We’re 3 minutes away from a deal. Don’t keep doing this. You know, so forth and so on. And so this is where Netanyahu said, I’m going to do what I got to do. And this is when we said, well, just don’t do it too hard. It’s all kind of crazy. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
Does anybody take traitor Tucker Carlson seriously any more? Must hear it. I don’t think so. The Pakistanis do. But I mean, how about me again, Kelly? Anybody take her seriously? No, I don’t think so. Unless you’re a head case. How about Third Reich? Bloated Bannon? They ripped off little old ladies and he pled guilty. On the federal level, he was pardoned by the president. As an act of compassion. But at the state level, he pled guilty. He pled guilty to defrauding all these people. And he’s he’s so seedy. He’s such a sleazeball. He’s got all these videos with Epstein and he won’t release them. Why? Why hasn’t anybody demanded and why hasn’t? Thomas Massie demanded. Then why hasn’t Marjorie Trotsky gangrene? Why hasn’t? Congresswoman Luna. Why haven’t they? EPSTEIN Let’s get the Epstein information out. CROWD demanded any of it from from a third rate bloated banner. It’s it’s just shocks me. How he gets away with this. And then, of course, there are others. But does anybody does anybody take any of them seriously anymore? I mean, they’re rooting for Iran, right? They don’t want Israel to defend itself. They don’t want us in any alliance with Israel. They cheer it when the missiles come in. You know, he got owns over in Moscow. And of course, Tucker was over in Moscow. They’re are rooting for Qatar. They’re all trashing Christianity and Judaism and Americanism, building up these foreign potentates and Sharia law and Islamism and all the rest. Does anybody take them seriously any more? I’m just curious. I don’t think so. We’ll be right back.
