Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. I hope you’re well. Vice president JD Vance texted me earlier. Yeah. We’ve text from time to time and asked to come on the program. I’m happy to have him. We’ve given him basically every day this week except Friday and any time during the program. So we’ll see if that works out. I don’t know why people think we’re going to mud wrestle. We’re not going to mud wrestling. It’s going to be very polite, very civil. And we’ve got questions. And I’ve been watching him on TV. He’s got a lot of a lot of answers to civil war. Some of the questions, it’s no big deal. Piers Morgan. We tried to get him on radio the other day. Mr. Producer sent an email to their producer, and we know the email address is correct. They never responded. So we’re not going to be responding to him. I mean, these people, they just need clicks and eyes. And it is a constant state of hysteria and imbecility. And that’s not what I’m about here. It’s another guy, Posobiec. I don’t even know this guy. Jack Posobiec with his neo fascistic, in my view, background and Putin supporting background. For some reason he’s had TPS. USA is another one. Then there’s this guy Crispy. I was told by a congressman in New Jersey that this guy is a well-known, long time self-promoting hack. So I’m just tired of helping to promote old men on podcasts. Nut jobs. On podcasts and nut jobs in some dark corner of a state like New Jersey. And that makes sense, Mr. Producer. I’ve got friends telling me, Don’t engage with these people. No, I’ll engage from time to time. Of course. But this is all they do. Now, we’re going to start with this threat and the UFC freedom to 50 White House, because this is a big deal to me. It’s a very big deal. Now it’s getting attention, particularly in the conservative media, but it’s being downplayed by the rest of the media. Here it is, New York Post. And yes, then we’ll move into Iran and some other issues. Heavily armed tech talkers plotted to attack UFC Freedom 250 White House event after railing against Trump Billionaires and Israel. Feds say Now this sounds to me like a lot of woke right types, doesn’t it? Must have it doesn’t trump billionaires and Israel. And remember the woke right and the Marxist Islamist left have a significant overlap. And it goes on fanatical tick tock his arm with assault rifles plotted to attack the UFC Freedom 250 at the White House South Lawn Sunday night. This is really quite shocking. After ribbing each other up over Jeffrey Epstein, you see. You see all these conspiracy nuts with all this stuff all the time. And you have members of Congress, Massey, Luna, they’re not the only ones, of course, Ro Kannan and so forth. You create these conspiracies, these whack job things, and there’s a lot of people who believe them. Or that Israel got us into the war. Does it look today like Israel controls Donald Trump or that I controlled Donald Trump? It’s all lunacy. It’s sick. So they were ripping each other up. New York Post says in their article as they looked at the complaint filed over Jeffrey Epstein, Billionaires Israel and a Hatred of Donald Trump, according to court papers and sources who spoke with the Post. Now there’s hatred of Donald Trump. It’s also part of the Woke Reich mentality. There’s a desperate effort, particularly online. By a couple of individuals to try and take traditional constitutional conservatives and then say, see, you agree with the woke, right? You don’t agree with this, Emmylou? I haven’t even seen the memo. You nobody has seen the memo. You to the extent the vice president talks about it or the somebody in the administration talks about it or it’s leaked to certain of the favorite reporters and so forth, we talk about it. What are we supposed to do? Not talk about it? But what I haven’t done is used any of the Iranian material because I don’t use Iranian news sources. A multiple a listen to this. The multiple phase plot called for explosive drones to strike the South Lawn during the event, forcing attendees to flee outside the White House where a sniper team could pick them off, officials and prosecutors said So this is a well thought up mass slaughter that they had in mind. Now the FBI foiled the Zealots plans by infiltrating signal chat groups where they were planning, quote, a coordinated attack, unquote, to kill President Trump and other government officials, according to federal criminal complaints in affidavits unsealed today. At least five suspects were arrested last week and up to ten others are wanted in connection with the plot. Law enforcement said look at the size of this group. There was conspiring to commit an act of mass murder, including the president, United States. The suspects face up to life in prison for the murder charges. And up to five years for conspiring to commit an act of violence at the White House. The, quote, ultra religious unquote guerrillas espouse, quote, anti-government, unquote, or anti Israel views and had initially started plotting in a tick tock group called the Vanguard of the old. In March 2026, just a few months ago, before moving conversations to a private signal group called Hunters. Hunters is a name that’s been given. To individuals in our country who. Are hunting down Jews. Just so you know, the quintet was charged in at least four states California, Ohio, Missouri and Nebraska, with conspiring to murder members of the government and others after their parent of one alerted local police. President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Tech billionaire Elon Musk and Israeli Prime Minister. We’re all named as potential targets. An addition of members of Congress and a West Virginia state lawmaker, according to court documents. As many and as deadly as we can get, said suspected ringleader Abraham HERMOSO Alvarez. In one of the messages, another Tyson proper was arrested on June ten after his mother notified the Danville, Ohio, Police Department and Knox County Sheriff’s Office of concerns about her son’s recent firearms purchases and communicating with certain individuals online, according to an affidavit filed in the Southern District of Ohio. Those persons claimed to be ex-military and Christian based. The mother later said in a phone interview with their FBI task force officer. Now their grievances included government corruption, the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein farce. How many talk radio buffoons? How many podcast buffoons? How many members of Congress buffoons have been pushing this Epstein stuff? And they keep telling us they’re going to release names. They don’t release names. They’ve got millions and millions of pages of documents. I don’t even know what it is they’re looking for, quite frankly. But the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. I mean, who brings this up? Tucker Rogan, Who else? A lot of them are for went this. These conspiracies, ladies and gentlemen. They have consequences. And I guarantee you that will not curb what’s going on. With these people behind these microphone in Islam down. And then I pick right up again. Proper. His mother had overheard him speaking on the phone and mentioning that he was undergoing physical training for recon and hit and run missions. Which she understood to mean conducting shootings. Her son had been leaning heavily into his Christian beliefs, but she expressed that those in the chat groups had been using religion to manipulate and influence her son Christian beliefs. Well, Christian beliefs don’t preach slaughtering people, that’s for sure. In one of the private chat groups. The suspects debating a debate ad targeting Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator Jim Justice, Senator Shelley Moore, as well as Virginia. West Virginia GOP representatives Carol Miller, Reilly Moore and state delegate Tristan Leavitt. I got a passport target. There’s a quote. Marsha Blackburn, a senator from Tennessee proper, said on May 13 in the chat, responding that she was a target because the Republican had taken money from the pro-Israel lobby and supports them. So this is the whole AIPAC thing that you’re hearing relentlessly. From the Jew haters, From the Trump haters. From the Christian haters. AIPAC. Now all these woke Reich types have used AIPAC. You can go online and you can see it. And you can see it. It is incredibly chilling that this suspect named me as a potential target along with other lawmakers, Blackburn posted on. I will not let maniacs like this one deter me from celebrating or serving this great nation, and I am grateful to law enforcement for keeping us safe. I’ll say what a fantastic job to the FBI, Secret Service, local police forces and sheriff’s offices. You guys are fantastic. Now, Levitt, one of the targeted lawmakers, told the The New York Post. I’m not intimidated and I will not be silenced in standing up for the people of West Virginia or our allies, including Israel. Isn’t it funny, Mister Producer, Israel has so prominent all this now Israel a pack Jews. I keep warning people, you’re playing with fire and it’s going to blow up. It’s it’s a very dangerous thing. And when they were going to kill people. At the UFC event. They were killing everybody there. They wanted to kill the president, the vice president. It didn’t matter their faith. And I keep trying to explain people, this is a bigger poison. This is a bigger cancer. And yet it’s still there. I dare you to go on Twitter or X. I dare to go on there. I dare you to go on there. Look at any single thing I’ve posted and then look at the comments. Look at some of the people who come in. Look what they say. Shockingly, they work for an institute that I that I went to at one point and got an award from. Look at that. Look at one of these guys from TPI USA. For God’s sakes, look at. And Bannon with the Tel Aviv. Levin I don’t mind that, but I know what he’s doing. He’s telling all the nutjobs, There’s the Jew, Get the Jew. I know what he’s doing. He knows what he’s doing. It goes on. Each image was lifted from the website track Apple.com. And you know what’s behind that? A Marxist, an overseas Marxist, has set up this site track AIPAC Apex. Which is used online by some of these people who pretend to be Trump supporters, Conservatives, America First MAGA. This is what we’re up against. You and me. Which opposes the lobbying work of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and records how much money politicians received from pro-Israel contributions. And others have posted how minimal they are compared to some of these other groups, which is massive. The president was bragging today about trillions of dollars coming to our country from Qatar. Look, the president views that as a wonderful thing. I view it as a very dangerous thing. But we’re allowed to have a difference of opinion. I don’t stab him in the chest in the back and he doesn’t me. There’s a difference. There’s a difference. I have people in the audience here, some of you who disagree with me in your wonderful. And that’s okay. When executing a search warrant on the home where Propper lived with his parents, FBI agents and local law enforcement found a large quantity of boxes of spent ammunition, spent cartridge casings and other tactical clothing. Family members also drew the authorities attention to comments proper had made online expressing sympathy for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Got that from antis as well as other anti-Semitic statements proper. Recently spent 3000 of his high school graduation money on camping gear, full ballistic plates, a new shotgun, a rifle, lots of ammo, extra magazines and play carriers, his father told authorities. Propagate confessed to investigators an on June 11 interview that he had been planning the coordinated attack with others to jumpstart a revolution in the U.S. because they believed the country was heading in the wrong direction and needed to be torn down so that it could be rebuilt. More on this when I return. We’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Let’s try this up. It’s important. It’s like in the attention of the deserves. This guy proper faces charges of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States. Attempted murder of an officer employee of the United States. I be the president. Possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence and receipt or transfer of a firearm used to commit a felony. Until affidavits also show Michael Allen Thomas and Brian Omarosa were both arrested in Southern California in connection with the scheme and were charged with conspiracy to commit murder. It’s shocking. FBI agents seized rifles, handguns, stockpiles of ammo from their residences with ROA. Having discussed marksman training with Thomas and readying for a guerrilla style warfare. Alvarez was taken into custody in Nebraska, charged with conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States. Daniel Eskridge was arrested in Missouri and charged with conspiracy to commit murder on the White House grounds. Prior affidavits and it goes on. That’s the heart of it. The Internet, ladies and gentlemen. There’s a big downside to it. There’s nothing we can do about it in terms of or that we want to eliminating it. But we have to keep in mind that there is a lot of bad stuff on that Internet. We’ll be right back.

Segment 3
That was pretty shocking wasn’t in America they got five guys. There’s ten more at least that they’re trying to round up. I mean, that’s huge. Can you imagine what would have taken place if the I guess one of the parents of the ringleader was 19 years old? Wasn’t called out. Right, Mr. Producer? Oh, my God. Right out of high school. Jesus. I want to play something for you. I feel Mike Huckabee is such a great and decent man. He’s the ambassador to Israel. And I’m proud to say my stepson is his senior staffer appointed by President Trump as well. But we keep what’s called a Chinese wall between us. We do not discuss what they’re doing. And I get no background information from them. I don’t have to. I got people to call me today, briefing me on the deal. At the request of the president. I’m not going to get into all the names and everything else. I don’t play games. Ladies and gentlemen, I am who you listen to. I am who you see. There’s not a single principle I’ve ever changed. None. If the facts cause me to rethink a conclusion, I will tell you. The Constitution is my guide. Capitalism is my guide. The great philosophers who our founders relied on. They’re my guide. My faith and God is my guide. That’s my guide. I don’t goose step for anyone. You know, it’s amazing. When I supported this war right from the outset. We took a lot of incoming here. And I dragged the president into the war. That is what dragged the president away. Just some horrific, horrific things. By people we’ve talked about here and they’re still at it. And now the president has made some decisions that I don’t necessarily agree with. But he doesn’t make them out of. You know. Angst or anything like that. He’s making decisions that he believes in. And I and I raise my issues, my concerns or my thoughts with you. That’s what I do. If you want somebody who’s just going to mouth the party line, then get go talk to the press secretary at the Republican National Committee. Or for some senators, something like that. So I’m accused of doing that and accused of not doing that. And these are people who are utterly and completely unprincipled. That’s why they can do both. That’s why they can do both. I didn’t support this war, so we would have a peace deal. I supported this war so we would destroy this regime. That it killed thousands and thousands of Americans. That Hezbollah would be put to rest finally, once and for all. And so you can understand my. My shock was some of the comments that were made today about Hezbollah and Israel. Hezbollah has killed our fellow Americans. It executed American soldiers. It blew up well over 200 Marines in a marine barrack. 241 is my memory. It blew up scores and scores of American citizens working in two African embassies. And I can go on and on and on. And so when we have a country like Israel that’s willing to do our fighting for us, we haven’t fought Hezbollah. We haven’t lifted a finger to fight Hezbollah. They have. And then Iran demands. That is part of this deal. Israel be forced to withdraw from this buffer area that they are creating because of all the missiles that Hezbollah is firing into Israel at the behest and at the direction of Iran. To me, that’s outrageous. To me, it’s even immoral. Now, what they’ll do online is let’s say Mark has called the president outrageous and immoral. This is the idiocy that we deal with, and I think it stokes a lot of hate. And I think more and more we’re going to find that it stokes a lot of violence because it’s not about rational thinking, it’s not about substance and not about knowledge. It’s not about debate and discussion. It’s about slogans. They’ve learned well from the Marxists. It’s about slogans and sloganeering. It’s about creating devils and angels. I don’t do that. I don’t believe in that unless there really are devils and angels. Again. My minor stars are exactly what I told you. Exactly what I’ve told you. So I want you to hear Mike Huckabee today. A good man, a brave man, a man of deep faith. Remember, he was a pastor before he was elected governor and so forth. Here he is on TV in Israel. 18. Go. There’s also my job to represent the importance of Israel to the United States. This is just another reminder that it is your heritage. Without a doubt. But, Minister, it is also the heritage of the United States. Without Israel, without the Jewish Foundation, there would not be an America. We owe our very existence for what happened in this land. Mike Huckabee is saying exactly what John Adams said. What George Washington said. What James Madison said. But Thomas Jefferson said. Who were students of what they called the Hebrew Bible, the Torah, or what people call the Old Testament in the Bible. Which is referenced in the New Testament. And there’ve been efforts by the walk. Right. And others. The claim that. Judaism was replaced with Christianity and people who actually know the Bible, the New Testament. Actually, no American history knows. No, that’s impossible. That’s impossible. Huckabee knows it. Pastor Hagee knows it. Really, Almost every pastor I’ve ever spoken to and I’ve spoken to hundreds and hundreds of them. They get it, They understand it. I get it. I understand it. This is one of the reasons that. I speak. Out repeatedly about the Christian faith and Christians in our country. And I’ve included it in some of my books there. But for Christians, we wouldn’t have a United States of America. And what Huckabee is saying is but but for the the Jewish faith, there wouldn’t be Christianity and there wouldn’t be a United States of America. And I strongly disagree with something the president said today. I heard him say one other time, too, which is. If we had an attacked. Iran, Israel would not exist and would have been destroyed. That’s simply not true. It’s simply not true. For 12 days. Israel fought. A year ago. Against the Iranian regime. Before we did. Destroyed its ground to air missiles, destroyed its its Soviet and Russian. Radar systems. Destroyed much of its air force, destroyed much of any of its defenses. For 12 days. We went in on the 13th day. With our great bombers and those bombs when we hit those nuclear sites. But Israel has some very, very powerful weapons. That it has not used I don’t know this firsthand. Just go online and read about it. It’s a secret that’s not so secretive. And they’ve had him for decades. Israel will survive. Period. And what’s happening now and what troubles me now. Is this alliance? You can’t keep trashing the prime minister of Israel. Who’s trying to defend his country is trying to take on Hezbollah after they shoot missiles into Israel. With hundreds of injuries and several deaths. At the behest of Iran and say, you know, you’re in the way of our deal. You’re overdoing. It is you’re. You’re taking out buildings with citizens in it. This is the same stuff that was said about Israel and their their war against Hamas in Gaza. And yet. During that time, we had experts on and say that’s not what’s happening. That is, they’re not targeting citizens. The enemy’s hiding in these buildings and so forth. And since then, even one of the most hostile international organization, as well as and now another group that had a lot of generals. And so they said, no, there was not genocide in Gaza. And there’s not genocide in Lebanon either. Hezbollah has slaughtered Christians. Other Muslims, and they do what Iran does. They do what Hamas does. They’re building tunnels and they have all this and the rest of it. There is no way. Netanyahu can stand still and say, okay, you get your deal and we’ll do the promises and have a 60 day negotiation. And then if only and only then if they shoot at your bases or or they defy you and then you can hit them. But we get to watch. That’s not going to happen. Period. And I’m hoping somebody would tell me that’s not the plan. I’m just telling you what I’m hearing. We heard it today. We heard it today and the head of Syria, who was suggested should come in and replace the Israelis to do a deal with Hezbollah. The head of Syria was the head of Al Qaida in Syria, the head of Al Qaida in Syria. I don’t think that’s a particularly great idea, and I’m going to say it. I think that’s a ridiculous idea. And I’m going to say it, and I think most of you would agree with me, the former head of al Qaeda in Syria. The Israelis should say, you know, we’ll pull out. We’ll let him take care of Hezbollah. Really? And you know who he’s aligned with. Erdogan in Turkey. Now, they’re not going to. They’re not going to play suicide. They also know three years the president won’t be There could be some Democrats. So they have to play long ball just like the Arabs do, just like the Islamists know they won’t exist. And they were hit on October 7th because the enemy was right on their border. And they have said, now no more of that. They’ve pushed back Hamas. They’re pushing back Hezbollah. They’re not going to allow that to happen again. And neither would we. Not for one second. I ask you to think about this again. If a terror group, let’s say, drug cartel, got its hands on missiles. Let’s say, from Iran. And they were in Mexico. Shooting missiles in the Texas. In the New Mexico and Arizona. Wherever they could reach. What would our position be? In fact, what would the position of any country be? You know exactly what it would be. I’ll be right back.

Segment 4
I hope the vice president does. Come on. I really do want to talk. I mean, no, it’s not going to be a wrestling match. He’s very polite. I’m going to be very polite to him. He’s the vice president of the United States. And we all help get Trump Vance elected, which I believe he even acknowledged today. But doesn’t matter. That’s what we did. So I want to treat this as something intelligent, not one of these online things where they have these thugs who are paid and so forth to go on and just trash away. I’m not going to do that. I have some legitimate questions, I believe, and he wants to make some legitimate points. So that’s the way this is supposed to work. He’s not the enemy. We just, I think, have a significant disagreement here. But he is the vice president. You know what that means, Mr. Peterson? He works for the president, basically does what the president directs him to do. So that’s what a vice president does, and that’s okay. But I have some questions. So we have this UFC fight. Everybody who was there thought it was fantastic. Yes, my family and I were supposed to be there, but a family matter came up and I couldn’t. But nonetheless. You look like a fantastic event. Everybody was there, had a great time. So that upsets Jamie Raskin. Raskin the Stalinist Red. You know all about him thanks to this show. Who’s already worked up his impeachment articles. I smoked him out. He was on me. LSD. Going through them, essentially. So here he is. He’s very upset, very upset about this UFC freedom to go. You know, every event the president sets up to celebrate 250, the Democrats go nuts. You know why? Because they don’t support our founding, let’s be honest. They may go through the motions, but half of them don’t even do that anymore. Cut. 16, Go. I was reflecting as you were speaking, Hailey, about the 250th anniversary and obviously this dreadful, sordid, embarrassing spectacle going on at the White House right now with people doing, you know, backflips on their dirt bikes and stuff. What is that all about? Folks can go back in our history. All kinds of things took place, good things, celebratory things on the White House grounds. Horrific things took place. Remember that? That transvestite there was there, Mr. Producer, with the fake boobs or whatever the hell it was. Remember all that? A transgender dude, actually. Oh, that was great. Oh, yeah, that’s okay. It’s just an embarrassing spectacle. The guy says the embarrassing spectacles between his ears, quite frankly, Raskin. Is a very dangerous man. He’s one of the enemies within. There’s no question about it. He’s a commie. It’s what he is. It’s what, you know, when I call people what they are. They don’t see me. Because, number one, I countersue and I’ll own everything they have. People know you do, but people don’t know how I litigate. I’m brutal. Absolutely brutal. But. I’m very good at it. And I’m not going to put up with it like the group care that used to threaten everybody. Go ahead, baby. Make my day. But that’s the truth. And so this guy. The UFC fight was a embarrassing spectacle. But if he had all kinds of freaks, frauds and phonies. We had illegal aliens. Long time convicted felons. So long as you could give the vote. All on the South Lawn. That would be perfectly fine. I’ll be right back.
