Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. Well, there’ve been more casualties. Uh. From the Iranian regime with their ballistic missiles. Ladies and gentlemen, this regime needs to be destroyed. There can’t be any more timeouts, Negotiations back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. That’s not the nature of this enemy. Nature of this enemy is the stirring things out. They go back and forth and back and forth as they rebuild. They don’t need to rebuild everything. They just need to rebuild enough. They’re trying to play out for the next two and a half years, this war scenario. To outlast the length of the Trump administration. They’re also trying to play out even a shorter term project, which is through the midterm elections. Where the Democrats have said that they will impeach the president over this war. And so they know that domestically it could get a little bit more complicated and difficult. And they know this from our media. They know this from the Democrats. They know this from the Woke Reich isolationists. And they hear them. And these entities and these people give them aid and comfort. And give them a reason to fight on. The president will make a decision whether to extend. The wartime activities, that is to broaden them. My own view is I don’t know what we’re waiting for. Let’s get this over with. And I’m not kidding. If there’s some issue out there, lack of munitions and so forth. Okay. But I don’t think that’s the case. And until we begin to arm the Iranian people. As you know, this has been a campaign I’ve been leading now for two and a half months because I know it would work. And until we stop sidelining the state of Israel, because that’s what the Arabs want. That’s what Turkey wants. Rather than listening to them, they go to enormous firepower themselves. We’re not going to defeat this enemy. We will defeat aspects of it, but we will not destroy it once and for all. And yes, it can be destroyed once and for all. If we have generals who don’t believe it can be, they need to be fired and replaced as Lincoln replaced generals and FDR replaced generals. And if we have intelligence service, senior officials who do not believe that we should arm what is an incredible resource, millions and millions of people want to be liberated in Iran. Then they should be removed and replaced as well. We need people who can get things done and who will get things done. This is my view. Ultimately this is going to have to be done or the enemy’s going to win. Their survival is a win. In this anime. This enemy is not fearful of mutual assured destruction. It seeks a catastrophic. Confrontation with the West in the United States has. It seeks death on its own terms. Because it believes they do, that they will be rewarded. That they will be rewarded. Hey, are. To know this enemy is to know that you cannot claim victory unless there’s an actual victory. And that it is not enough to destroy their military, even though that’s crucially important. That, in fact. The regime needs to be obliterated and there are powerful tools on the table that we have not yet used, in my opinion. And I’ve talked about this for a long time. I’ve talked about it here and on television. And that is the truth. We’re hearing two different things tonight. The president will make a decision on whether to, quote unquote, expand the war effort. Or another ten day cease fire that is being urged upon him by the envoys. As well as Qatar. Qatar is a double dealing, backstabbing enemy. That is literally close to the Iranian regime and the Turkey regime. And as you know that the number one. The number one funder of terrorism in our own country and propaganda. And you can tell because the woke great podcasters and their ilk and their politicians never, ever criticize Qatar. They don’t even bring up Qatar, do they? Although there’s a scandal, apparently. It is soon in the works. We’ll see. So mediators would be Qatar proposing a ten day cease fire to revive the Iranian US interim deal. Senior Iranian officials tell Reuters in May, the only one who’s sick of this. If it’s true being reported. Am I the only one who tires of this? We Americans want victory. Victory is good politics, but more than that, it’s good for the country. We’ll have an enemy that’s finally destroyed. Finally out of the way where it can’t kill any more Americans. Both. Both Americans in the military and American citizens. It’s very, very important. So we will see as of now. Apparently, more bombing has started. Night number ten, as they like to count the media. I just hope we’re hitting sites that really matter and apparently we’re hitting some that really do matter. Because it is legitimate for people to wonder with all this bombing and all these munitions and over all this time, how are they able to still stand? In the fire. Anything back? It’s time to hit their targets, the most important targets. It’s also time to hit dual use infrastructure. Either. We want to win. So we want to claim that we’ve won. I think this president earnestly wants to win. And I think he earnestly has had enough of this of this enemy as well. And I also believe the president has wanted to give them every opportunity. To pull back. And at every opportunity he himself has pointed out. They have sabotaged every effort. And the point is, they will sabotage every effort. It’s not a matter of moderates versus hardliners. There are no moderates. That’s a facade. That’s phony. That’s fake. So this is where you are. Armies IDs. Two victims killed in Jordan Airbase attack. President has said Iran will pay many times over every time it kills an American. And I think that’s very important to. As Fox News reports, the War Department has identified two active duty Army soldiers killed during an enemy attack and move to sortie air base in Jordan last week. First Lieutenant Taylor James friend, 25, of Iowa Beach, Hawaii, and Private Isabella Gonzales. Gonzales, 19 of Carlton, Texas. We’re the first U.S. service members killed since the restart of hostilities amid Iran’s violations of the peace agreement. A third U.S. service members remains are being identified with. Another was killed Saturday during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance in northern Iraq. So that was a terrible accident, obviously. President said every time Iran kills an American soldier, they will pay for that killing many times over. On true social, he said, The directive has been passed on to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Daniel Kane, and every leader in the military. Every leader in the military. The announcement brought the number of U.S. service members killed since the war to 17. Now. A few of them, if not several of them, died from accidents as well. Just to point that out. The mission has ended operations in Iraq, while the U.S. has been consolidating and transitioning its presence in Syria. Let’s see. I think that’s about all for updating what’s going on. We’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Now we have an armed lunatic who set off an incendiary device outside New York City federal headquarters, where the FBI and ICE, among others. Have important offices. And, you know, ladies and gentlemen, when you keep calling ice. Nazis and SS and that they’re disappearing people. In the most horrible things. And you’re accusing him of the most horrible things. This is what happens. And the Democrats keep doing this. They keep doing it about Trump. They keep doing it about Republicans, they keep doing it about Netanyahu and Israel. They keep doing it. This is a violent party. It’s always been a violent party. It’s never embraced Americanism. As the New York Post rates it. A crazed former U.S. Army soldier and National Guardsman lit an incendiary device outside a Manhattan federal building today in an apparent anti-police attack, officers and law enforcement sources said. The suspect identified by sources as 43 year old Andrew Hara Abarca, veteran from Poughkeepsie, New York, was being held as a person of interest in the 8:20 a.m. incident outside 26 Federal Plaza after being stopped by a security guard. At approximately 8:20 a.m., an anti-police rioter launched fireworks outside of 26 federal plaza, grazing a bystander and poured what is believed to be gasoline on the stairs to the entrance of the bar he lit are on fire. And set it on fire. A representative for the Department of Homeland Security told the New York Post He certainly did. And M.P.s, protective security officers swiftly tackled to detain the agitator sustaining minor injuries during the incident. I mean, good for the security guards, you know. Officers quickly recovered the individual’s bag, which contained what appeared to be two pellet guns and a manifesto with the damn manifestos. Officials didn’t immediately reveal what was in the manifesto, although we can guess. No charges have been officially filed, but of course, they will be. Our ABARCA was identified by sources as a person of interest in the incident. Officials said the maniacs started a blaze with gasoline and fireworks. And so far. He was pulling a cart with the slogan Ice off our streets. And again, you’re going to see more of this now. Violence against ice is up 1300 percent. Let me repeat that, 1,300%. While video shared on social media showed the raving suspect hurling fireworks into the flames right outside the building for an entrance, but the one exploding loudly as police tackled him to the ground. Of course, it could have been a whole lot worse, couldn’t it? Could have been a whole lot worse. I just worry that the violence that is being encouraged, he really is being encouraged by the Democrat Party and the left and some of the media. What are they think’s going to happen? When things of this sort are done. This is what happens. This is the kind of response you get. As a matter of fact. And it’s very violent out there. Here we have the Tate brothers. I never heard of them before, like a couple of years ago. Do you, Mr. Innocent? Vaguely right. And yet they were. Sort of celebrated by the Tucker Carlson types in the woke, Right. Did you notice that, Rich? When they came into the United States. They were greeted. They were vetted. They were. Effectively applauded. Now these two scumbags. We’re apparently running a slave sex operation. And some have even said child pornography. They’re in Miami. They’re being detained. Also, Great Britain wants to get to whack Adam, too, for what they apparently are accused of doing over there. But I want you to keep something in mind. That these guys were embraced by the likes of Tucker Carlson, among others. And it’s repulsive. It’s absolutely damnable. And. It’s very little talk about not the fact that they were detained, but there’s associations and that sort of thing. And of course, as you can imagine, they were Jew haters and anti-Semites and so forth. But they’re also embraced by some politicians. As a matter of fact, and we’re going to dive into that a little bit right now here. This is from FOX News. Tape. Brothers can remain behind bars for now as UK seeks extradition on rape and trafficking charges. Social media influencers. Listen to this. Social media Influencers. Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain behind bars for now after appearing in federal court in Miami today, where they formally began fighting the United Kingdom’s bid to extradite two controversial brothers on dozens of charges, including rape and human trafficking. During the brief hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Lauren Lewis informed the brothers who were being held on a provisional arrest warrant from the UK and that extradition proceedings were already underway. The judge later scheduled a status hearing for January excuse me, July 27th. Attorney Joseph McBride told reporters the brothers are innocent and he said he does not expect them to be released. Yeah, I don’t see them as innocent either. Judge also explained the proceeding was an extradition matter and not a criminal trial per se. They were arrested in Miami over the weekend. If the British authorities announced 38 additional charges involving four additional alleged victims, Andrew Titus, 39, faces seven additional rape counts, seven as well as charges related to sex trafficking and indecent images of children. Tristin Tate, 38, faces charges including two rape counts and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation. These sexual traffickers are the lowest of the low last man. They’re the lowest of the low lies. And these guys were celebrated by the woke. Right. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
You know folks you have to gather the information yourselves and draw your own conclusions. But there’s a piece here from Substack. Different outlets. Liberal. Moderate. Some conservative. They say her after the Tate’s arrest. Carlson interviewed Andrew Tate in 2023 and later criticized Romanian authorities, calling the charges transparently political. He stated Andrew Tate is dangerous because he tells men to stand up straight. That’s the crime. 2023. He wasn’t the only one to speak of that. That way we have. Let’s see here a guy by the name of Jack Posobiec, who most of you have never heard of before. By the way, I’m not saying they’re all promoted. I think I’m just saying how they. They talked about him on War room, Steve Bannon. We know who he is. What a reprobate that is. And former Trump campaign operative Jack Posobiec. This guy is kind of disgusting. To discuss the Tate’s arrest. Within hours of the news breaking, Posobiec claimed that, quote, The global elites want Andrew Tate to shut down because he tells young men the truth about masculinity, unquote, framing Romanian prosecutors as, quote, tools of the global regime, unquote. There you have that. And so forth and so on. But all that aside, the fact of the matter is these guys are pretty, pretty disgusting. The Romanian authorities arrested Andrew and Tristan Tait in late 2022 on charges related to human trafficking, rape, organized crime. Quickly became more than a criminal investigation. They write. It became a test of influence across a digital ecosystem known as the Manners Sphere. I’ve told you many, many times that the Internet is a toxic cesspool and it truly is a toxic cesspool. It really is. You know what this man is fierce stuff is with guys like this. This isn’t about manhood. This is about disgusting. Disgusting allegations of the worst kind of behavior. Alex Jones, they say. Defended the brothers, saying on Infowars that the tapes were arrested because they refused to submit to the globalist feminization Agenda. He argued the case was evidence of international deep state control. You see that It’s it’s kind of the same. Arguments for mentality. From a lot of these guys. I never knew who the Tates were. I don’t think we spent much time talking about them, did we, Mr. Peterson? Ever. But now this is front and center. Now this is front and center, and I like people making excuses for thugs like this. That’s not who we are. You know, I explain every night here. I really do. That we are constitutional conservatives. They we believe in the Judeo-Christian values and belief systems. That we embrace the Enlightenment. That these are moral belief systems. That undergird our society. And then you have people out there. Who embrace Putin, who embrace Qatar, which is a slave state. It’s what it is. Putin is a killer. And then they claim the problems with you and me. We’re the problem, but we’re not the problem. We’re the Tea Party or the Reagan Revolution or the Trump revolution. We are the heart and soul. Of those who believe in the system and believe in this country. So there we have this. The Tate Brothers. And these are not conservatives. These are not people to celebrate. These are not people to promote. These are not people that defend. They’re the worst of the worst. Has nothing to do with globalization or womanization of men or anything. You know, men stand up and fight this kind of stuff. Defend their wives and daughters and sisters and. And mothers from these kinds of thugs and belief systems. Yeah. But again, you you can you can dig this stuff up yourself. You know, to take my word for it, I encourage you to do it. As far as I’m concerned, the vast majority of MAGA. That is, conservatives. Tea Party Republicans probably don’t even know who these two fools are. And even more than that apparently want nothing to do with them for sure. Rolling Stone, which of course is a hideous paper. But nonetheless, Andrew Tate compares himself to Titanic victims and nauseating. Tucker Carlson Interview. I don’t know. His Tucker Carlson spoken about this. I have no idea. Are you aware of it, Mr. Producer? He’s probably running as fast as he can away from it. That’s my guess. Like all the other morons. Like all the other morons. And they should, I guess. But this is what I have to deal with day in and day out. People with this mindset. That there’s something wrong with you and me when you really look at some of these people, and I’m not comparing them to Tate, but when you look at them just in their own accord, when you look at a guy like Matt Gaetz was a TV show who’s online, who actually he never did anything wrong. He’s trashing people left and right. He’s one of the biggest Israel haters out there all of a sudden. Or when you look at a guy like Steve Bannon, Steve Bannon, who’s been in and out of the criminal justice system, and not unfairly, I mean, he’s the one who pled guilty, pled guilty to defrauding many of you. And he’s saying that. And that’s a fraud, obviously. He also got a pardon at the federal level by the president on the same. In a subject matter. And there he is on the war room, running around and shooting spitballs at everybody and making the most some of the most outrageous statements imaginable. Then you got these tape, brothers. Who conduct themselves just in the most grotesque way. Time will tell if they get convicted. But this is several countries that are raising this issue. Several prosecutors from several countries that are raising this issue. Stay away from all these people, America. You got Tucker Carlson now who sounds like a Marxist Islamist. Who trashes our country, who brings in people now from all walks of life, whether they’re Marxists or Islamists, who just keep badmouthing our country as he does bad mouthing our president, not disagreeing, badmouthing, trashing him. And you know his reach. While it is shrinking, shrinking and shrinking some more. Still, even though much of it is overseas, he gives the wrong impression to the enemy, gives the wrong impression to populations all over the world. We have to reject this. And most of you do, or you wouldn’t be here, quite frankly. Most of you do. You wouldn’t. We wouldn’t be here. All right. There’s so much more that’s been going on today. Not all of it good. In fact, most of it not. I want to get to hold on here. Unfortunately, I am working off my iPhone today. Because the power plug to my laptop. Did not join me in as I went from one state to another. So I’m working off my iPhone. The president at Joint Andrews Base yesterday about why we are doing what we’re doing with Iran. Cut one, Go. This is a far bigger job that we’re doing. We were doing a little job in stopping them from having a certain capability. Now we’re just ending it. So it’s really not the same thing. What we’re doing now is we’re ending any chance where they can have a nuclear missile. If you look at it after a week and a half, not four weeks, so we can have two weeks. We stopped them from probably, but I don’t want to have the word probably. Hmm. Cut to go. Well, we feel very badly. But you know, those great people, those great patriots are out there fighting that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. Iran has been very, very badly damaged. They’ve lost everything almost militarily. They’ve got very little left. They’ve got some missiles. They’ve got some drones. They’ve got some manufacturing ability, not much. We control the strait. They don’t control anything. So we’ll see what happens. But we had them very hard again tonight and we did that in honor of the probably three. It’s probably three as opposed to two great patriots. Marco Rubio on the tarmac last night as well. Cut three, go. Well, they’re not complying with it. I mean, the streets are supposed to be open, free of tolls, free of attack, free of all the things they’re doing against these ships. So they’re they they can’t have an M.O. that’s alive if they’re violating the terms of it. What I will say is that the United States always remains open for a diplomatic solution. We tried multiple times with Iran, and we’ll continue to try. If that opened, that door opens, we’ll be happy to see it open. But Right. And they continue to send signals that they want to talk, that they will they want to negotiate. But their behavior is what we’re responding to. And their behavior is their launching missiles and drones against ships, including tonight. All right, look, ladies and gentlemen. The diplomatic doors should not be open. I don’t know. How many times do we have to go through this, Mr. Producer? In fact, we should tell them until they surrender, the diplomatic door will never be open. That there’s going to be hell to pay for the rest of time. Until they’re destroyed or they surrender. I told you the memorandum of understanding not only was poor, but they would not would not abide by it. For which I was viciously attacked by frauds, phonies and buffoons. Some of whom from some war room somewhere. But they’re the ones who look like fools, and they’re the ones who will always look like fools with a scarlet letter on their forehead. No MCU will ever work. No agreement will ever work. It’s like phase two of our agreement with. Hamas. There is supposed to disarm, but they haven’t disarmed. In fact, Hamas is slaughtering Palestinians. You’re getting stronger by the day and getting more arms through Egypt, by the way. The region. But the memorandum of understanding. Thank God $324 billion didn’t pour into the coffers of the Iranians within the 60 day period. Thank God that they didn’t have the patience to wait. But it’s all predictable. And if there is another respite and more negotiation and another you, same thing will happen. From their perspective, they’re playing this out into and through the midterms. You do as much damage as they can with the hope, of course, that the Democrats. Getting elected. That’s their game plan. That’s what they’re doing. We’ll be right back.

Segment 4
General Jack Keane on Fox Business today. What does he make of this? And when General Keane speaks, everybody listens. Trust me, there’s nobody like him. Cut five. Go. The problem with our allies is, Stuart, let’s just put it on the table. It’s twice before during this 90 day period was when we tried to conduct Project Freedom, which was opening the Straits of Hormuz. And another time when it looked like the president was laying several weeks ago to go back to major combat operations, our allies in the region talked us down from doing just that because of the impact it would take on them. And we’ve been protecting these allies since World War Two with a nuclear umbrella. We’ve had conventional forces to help protect them. We helped to shield them from radical Islamist groups that have been operating in the region, Al Qaida, ISIS, etc.. And we’re asking them to share the burden with us here. And the burden isn’t just defending with missiles. The burden is casualties. Also, we’re taking the risk and we expect them to accept some risk to and use a term that I’m familiar with. Let’s just man up here and face it. What has to happen? Stop getting weak. Mean very you have done in the past. He’s unbelievable. He’s unbelievable. There’s a reason why he was a four star general and the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs. And yes, he’s combat veteran. He fought in Vietnam. He was a unit commander there and worked his way up. Just a fantastic military mind. I became good friends with him and I admire him enormously. Chris Wright is the energy secretary. He was on ABC’s This Week. Cut Forgo. The president’s mission is essential for peace in the Middle East and peace in the world, and that is to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons and to degrade their ability to terrorize their neighbors and the world and global commerce. So, yes, this mission will go on until the mission is done, but the mission needs to go on with all cylinders. With all cylinders popping hot. Full speed ahead. And there’s two groups of people who can do incredible things and help us, and that is the Iranian people. If they were armed. And trained and given strategic advice. And satellite information and so forth and so on, which is what our CIA used to do all over the globe. So we defeated the Soviet Union, which was a much bigger challenge in Iran. I hate to tell people, but it’s true. And the Israelis. The third biggest air force in the world. Some of the greatest fighter pilots in the world with intelligence like nobody has in terms of what’s going on in Iran, in the region. And they’re sidelined. So the Israelis are sidelined. The Iranian people are sidelined and they have a lot at stake in this. And they could provide us with enormous, enormous help. And we are simply not tapping into it because Erdogan, the Turk, doesn’t want it, the Arabs don’t want it and the envoys don’t want it. And maybe even the VP for all I know. We’ll be right back.
