Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. Hello. 877-381-3811. We put our foot down on the gas pedal and off we go. Welcome to the program. I’m very, very pleased you’re here. Thank you. We don’t always do this, but there was actually some rather fascinating comments by the president of the United States in the Oval Office earlier today. And he’s asked a very good question by Peter Doocy. Now, as you know in this audience here and on Fox and wherever I’m a guest, I keep pushing the the idea, the Reagan doctrine, that we arm the Iranian people. Now, there are people who are risk averse. Some of them are on line and they have very significant backgrounds and I’m sure some are in the government. But what if this happens and this happens and that happens and this happens? Excuse me. You know, in the middle of a war, you can’t. Conclude with certainty what is or is not going to happen. But you fight to win. Okay? And that’s what the president’s doing with this economic crushing, economic, you know, basically attack against the enemy. And that’s why we had 100 military sites hit yesterday militarily. But my own view is, since we are not going to send ground troops, nor do I support that. There are ground troops here. They’re called the Iranian people. And they’re ready to rise up and they want to be armed. Now’s the time. And it’s the president who’s brought us to this point. With the economy in a shambles, and I’m sure there are police there, army there, maybe even some IRGC there. They’re not getting their their salaries. They’re not getting paid or they’re not getting the things that they need. Now the big dogs, they get whatever they want, of course. But I’m not talking about them. So we’re going to arm and train these people. I hope we’re not too late, but I. I hope maybe we’re doing it. We just don’t know about it. But it’s something I’ve been pushing a lot. As you can see, once we put some things here in radio, I push them on my FOX show. They get into the into the bloodstream of the media, just like the. Data center is when I took the position and the data centers over the weekend. And now you see this being discussed nonstop and I would say significantly in favor by a lot of the people who are talking about them now, because you got to get the facts out. That’s what I’m about. Applying the facts to our principles, our beliefs, our value systems. So here’s the president. I think this is important, what he’s saying. From Peter Doocy. Question Cut to go. Sharkey posted today on Troop Social. When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight? Well, if that’s what you want, will you send the CIA to arm the Iranians? Well, I wouldn’t want to say that. Peter, I’d love to tell you that, but it would be appropriate to say. But I, I mean, I understand their plight. They’re being shot at right now. You know, these gentlemen sit here in the lap of luxury and they see things. But over there. So look, here is as of three months ago, they had 52,000 protesters were killed. Can you imagine this? And now I hear the number is probably 20, 25,000, more than close to 65,000 protesters killed. So when I ask that question, I ask it sort of knowing the answer. The only answer is that they’re being shot. The regime is getting weaker and weaker by the day. And at some point, they’re not going to be able to shoot so easily. And because I think the people aren’t going to take it. But I did pose that question because, you know, it would be time. But unlike most and most people can’t kill their people like that, most people try and reason, they talk and then there might be an overthrow. In Iran, they kill the people. When they get out to protest, they kill them. They shoot them right between the eyes. They have to form submachine guns and snipers, and they use them sometimes with machine guns and sometimes they’re snipers. They like the snipers better because all they do is have a crowd of 200,000 people. And a person goes down here right between the eyes and the three snipers doing it. And it’s a horrible thing to watch. So that’s why it’s not happening. And who can blame? Who can blame them? But the regime is getting weaker by the day. I agree with that. So let us arm them. More a cut three ago. It’s very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon as soon as it’s over, which I don’t think it will be very much longer. I don’t know how much more they can take, But, you know, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter. And I’m not affected by the election. Number one, I’m not running for my party is running, and I’m going to help my party. But I think my party respects the fact that we’re not allowing Iran to have a nuclear weapon. And frankly, other presidents should have done that, but they didn’t have whatever it takes to do it. Mm hmm. Yep. He’s right. Okay. Iran is. Look, the man has said it since 1980. I don’t know why people are confused about this. Now, here’s the Iranian military spokes idiot yesterday. Ibrahim, yabba dabba. Cut forgo. The offensive operations against the Americans will continue in a decisive manner until they regret their crimes. We warn that continued American provocations in the region will be met with heavier, broader and more destructive responses. I don’t know what he’s talking about. The responses have been really quite. Quite poor, quite weak. And as I mentioned to you yesterday, and there’s an article out again today that the Russians are sending them. Really some kind of hypersonic or supersonic or whatever sonic type missiles. And so there is that. There is that. That’s problematic. The rations, our friends, they’re not our friends. Now. Arm the Iranian people. The time is now. Let’s not be risk averse in the middle of a war. When we seek victory and thousands of Iranian people. Have been and are being slaughtered. The Reagan doctrine worked. Worked. You know. Everything can’t be precisely predict, predicted or cannot be precisely predicted. You agree with me, Mr. Producer? That’s not the way it works. It’s not the way war. And let me just put it that way. I feel like I’m constantly pushing back against some individuals and some attitudes that are out there. But nonetheless, we will continue to do that until I stop doing this. And I don’t have any plans on doing that, but you never know. But we’re going to continue to press the case. The Iranian people, if we really want them to rise up, then harm them. If we want them to rise up, arm them. If we don’t want to. How about this? If we don’t want to arm the Iranians, how about we tell the Israelis to go ahead and do it? Would that make everybody feel better? I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
President also said today that he couldn’t care less. I guess it was Monday night. He couldn’t care less whether Iran signs what he called a worthless agreement. With the United States declaring that Washington is better positioned with almost total control. The Strait of Hormuz. Has he called on the Iranian people to rise up and fight? I’m reading from Breitbart. I think a lot of what I’ve been urging and calling for is playing out exactly as I anticipated. It’s not because I’m Nostradamus, it’s just because it’s the way it is. President said, I’m not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table. As ABC Fake News reported. Trump wrote on True Social. I couldn’t care less if they sign a worthless to them agreement. Trump said he preferred the current US position. Pointing to what he described as almost total control of the strait. They’re just playing out the inevitable, he wrote. When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight? Now, that is something he was talking about earlier, and that’s something that I’m trying to also address. And they will rise up and fight when they’re armed. Which is understandable. And if it’s not us, please let the Israelis do it or encourage them to do it. Same with Mossad. That is their intelligence. Wang because they have very good handle on what’s going on in Iran. Very good handle. And if we’re risk averse, we don’t think it’s a good idea. Maybe they do. And you have to assume they want to eliminate this regime as much as we do, maybe even more. I think. They’ve made that abundantly clear. Prime minister has even been criticized for it in some circles who like to leak anonymously to Axios and elsewhere. Yes. All right. That’s our update in our part of the world. And we’re going to continue to move. To our part of the world. Real clear investigations. Here we have. Hold on a second. Who wrote this? Anybody? Paul Sperry. Paul Perry’s damn good. He’s of a real clear investigation. He’s been around a long time, as long as I can remember. And he’s always been very. Profession very good at these investigations and real clear investigations, he says. The call to prayer is shining across America. From ham to I don’t even know how to pronounce this town. From Hamtramck, Michigan, to Paterson, New Jersey, to Minneapolis, Minnesota, rooftop amplifiers remind growing numbers of Muslim faith for 5 minutes a day excuse me, five times a day of their duties with the Arabic message that Allah is the greatest. There is no God but Allah. The so-called add on is just one sign of how Islam is transforming pockets of our nation as more Muslims participate in the country’s political life running for office, influencing and in some cases even controlling local governments. They’re putting their own stamps on their communities, renaming city streets after Arab homelands and mandating Islamic holidays and halal only lunches in public schools while even changing noise ordinances to the consternation of many non-Muslim neighbors. They Polish, German, Irish and Italian immigrants before them. American Muslims now control several small cities. These are the differences. All of those people with those backgrounds wanted to assimilate into our country. That’s a big difference, of course, and I’m sure he knows that as well. These include Hamtramck. If I mispronounce it I’m sorry, Massachusetts, which has an all Muslim city council, as well as mid-sized cities like neighboring Dearborn. I wanted to say Massachusetts. I’m in Michigan. They are also wielding influence in large metropolises like New York City. We know about Mon Ami and his top staff composed almost entirely of Muslims. Did you know that, Rich? Oh, you know. Yep. In one sense, this suggests the continuation of the country’s deep tradition of offering newcomers the opportunity to contribute to their own customs, to American society. But some critics say this iteration of the immigration story offers a distinct challenge. That’s me. A number of leading Muslim candidates for office, for example, are so opposed to America’s long time ally, Israel, that their rhetoric veers into anti-Semitism. And some, such as the Democrat Party candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, are being supported with campaign funds linked to Hamas front groups and the radical pro jihad Muslim Brotherhood, which federal authorities say has a secret plan for destroying America from within. Outside. One is primary with at least $315,000 from the Muslim Brotherhood tied funds. A real clear investigation, examination of FEC filings reveals. And he hopes harsh attacks on evil Israel corner quote will help him become the first Muslim to sit in the U.S. Senate. Other Muslim candidates have ties to groups that have officially been designated as terror organizations, including al Qaeda. Admission ham ray with Democrat nominee running for he is a Democrat nominee running for New Jersey’s 12th congressional district once maintained close ties to the late al Qaeda. Blind Chic was convicted for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, including acting as his translator, driver and defense witness. I didn’t know who he was. I promise. I didn’t know. Critics say electing Muslims to public office. Is frightened with other concerns is frayed. It I’m sorry, ladies and gentlemen, sing very blurry out of my left eye today. Just bear with me. Critics say electing Muslims to public office is freighted with other concerns. And I want to get into this more deeply. We have a break coming up. And in the meantime, I will put a few drops in this sign. Hope it does something. But. We got a problem. And it’s not clear to me anybody is doing a damn thing about it. We’re relying on local zoning boards and local governments, and for the most part, not all, but for the most part. They’re doing a crap job. I’ll be right back.

Segment 3
We go on with the Paul Sperry piece from Real Clear Investigations. Critics also warned that unlike mainstream modern Christianity, Islam does not distinguish between the spiritual and political realms. Sharia law, for example, applies to religious and civic life because they are one and the same in Islam based on the Koran and other holy Islamic scripture. Sharia regulates Muslim worship, dress and diet, but it also sanctions practices at odds with not only American culture, but also the U.S. legal system, including domestic violence, polygamy, female circumcision, forced child marriage, honor killings and malignant excuse me, militant jihad. Republican lawmakers and counterterrorism experts fear that as Muslims and I’m going to say Islam is Islamists. As Islamists win control of towns and cities, they may weaken the nation’s separation of church and state while creating the kind of dangerous no go areas for non-Muslims that authorities now identify in some 900 enclaves of Europe with heavy concentrations of Muslim immigrants. I think that already is occurring in the United States right now. I really do. Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Portugal and Switzerland are among EU members that have passed laws aimed at curbing radical Islam. The French Senate also passed a law in May aimed at countering Islamist infiltration, quote unquote, of the country following a 2025 government report. Muslim Brotherhood and political Islam in France and a poll that year finding a majority of Muslims in France aged 15 to 24 prefer Sharia law over French law. And it goes on. Does this concern you, America? Islamist organizers are advancing a nationwide plan to back Muslims and other Islamic friendly candidates with financing from a potential political war chest of more than $140 million a year in mosque and other excuse me, in yea mosque and other donations from the swelling Muslim American community. L.A. This year, Cuddy led Fee Council of North America issued a legal ruling, a fatwa in coordination with the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America that for the first time unlocks Muslim American tithing and charitable giving known as zakat for political use. Quote, giving one second for influence and political causes is warranted. The stated goal is to broadly empower Muslim communities in America, but more specifically to fund the campaigns of politicians who oppose Israel and support policies such as criminalizing criticism of Prophet Muhammad and Islam in general. This is sort of happening in Virginia right now. Fact, this is what he points to here. Efforts are already underway at the state level in Virginia, which now boasts the fourth highest Islamic population in the U.S. A Muslim Democrat has introduced a bill in the state Senate to amend hate crimes law to criminalize, quote, prejudice toward Islam, unquote, not just Muslims. The bill Islam, you understand? Islamists. The bill, sponsored by State Senator Sadam Aslan Salim, also mandates that state troopers track, quote, Islamophobia excuse me, as a new bias motivated offense category. At the same time. It see hateful rhetoric castigating Christians, Jews and others in common in America is common in American mosques. Legal scholars say such blasphemy law would likely be struck down as an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment’s free speech clause. Critics say this is lost on such Muslim activists who use America’s cornerstone civil rights, in this case, the freedom to practice religion to advance their faith and its influence in 2023. Talk to American Muslims. K.D. X exalted that they had a blessing. Most other Muslims lack, quote, a constitution that protects our freedoms. We thank our for that freedom and what he’s saying there. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a constitution that protects our freedoms. To do what we choose to do to destroy the Constitution. You understand? Also in the past year Islamic activities or activists. Have formed their own political superPACs, including one backing al in Michigan, fighting from Michigan PAC, they call it, of course, whose main contributor is a long time leader in Muslim Brotherhood. Front groups in America blacklisted by the Justice Department as an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator. Another is the Unity and Justice Fund, which Shariah watchdogs claim is part of a highly organized electoral jihad to change foreign U.S. policy and push Sharia conforming laws, says all swirling around us, ladies and gentlemen. Now the Unity and Justice Fund, which is aggressively raising money from mosques and Islamic groups to back Democrats in the November congressional elections. Notice it’s exclusively Democrats as connected in the controversial are with the controversial group Council on American-Islamic Relations. You’re familiar with them If you’ve listened to this show for about 12 seconds care, the nation’s largest Muslim rights group has a long term plan to elect 30 Muslims to Congress, including at least two to the Senate. If he wins in November, Al Sayeed would be the first Muslim senator currently for Muslim serve in Congress, all Democrats surveys show. Let’s see, Muslims vote overwhelmingly Democrat. And at the same time, Care says it’s grooming more than 200 Muslims to run for state and local offices as well, a quote US based Hamas front organization, according to former FBI agent Lara Burns. Kerry was critical in organizing financial support and getting out the vote for New York Mayor Zerhouni Monday. The group now has former employees represented in top posts inside the Mamdani administration. Kerry denies connections to Hamas, Their liars. Or the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet in 2009, if the Digest department named CAIR and unedited co-conspirator in the largest terror fundraising case in U.S. history, a federal court found ample evidence linking care to Hamas. Then it goes on. The piece is very thorough about the quest for dominance. And I’ll just touch on this. According to an article in the Fremont Argus, a California newspaper cofounder, Omar Ahmad. Once told a Muslim audience, quote, Islam is in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. He said the Koran should be the highest authority in America and Islam, the only accepted religion on earth. Ahmad, who Burns said was wiretapped in FBI Hamas probes in the 1990s, gave the speech at a 1998 event in Fremont, California, organized by the Islamic Study School, titled How Should We as Muslims Live in America? That’s right. Now I can go on. You get the gist. There’s much more detail in this piece. You know, our archives at the end of the show always has the articles that I’m using and other sources that I’m using, so you can take a look at it for yourself. This is what we face as a nation. And it is spreading very, very fast. I want to thank the majority on the Supreme Court for upholding something that is not and never has been in the Constitution. Birthright citizenship. I want to thank the government for. Chain migration. That is, when people are here, they can bring in relatives up to the estimate, up to 20 each. That’s doesn’t do any harm, does it? We want to thank the Democrats for having open borders. And should they win the House or the Senate again, they will fight for open borders and no funds for ICE because ICE is responsible for rounding up illegal aliens and deporting them. And we certainly can’t do that. We want to thank the Democrats and the Senate for appointing scores of radical Democrats, lawyers to the bench who now wear black robes and serve for life. And defy the law as they pretend to uphold the law and demand. Adherence to the rulings, even if the rulings defy the law. And we want to thank the media still pretty much covering up what’s happened in this country and what is happening in this country with the Islamists, the immigration system, the naturalization system. And on and on and on. That’s right. There seems to be no end to this, which worries me. Because the Republicans pretty much control Washington. The executive branch can only do so much. Congress needs to step up and do more. And the smartest. Conservative lawyers and litigators need to get together and iron this out. And take this on. So we need organization on many levels with many entities to fight this or it will consume us. It’s consumed Europe and there are no go zones all throughout Europe, all around Paris, all around London. And they’re growing into this country to just remember what that mayor of Dearborn, Dearborn, eastern Michigan, said. And of course, he’s an Islamist. And he told a constituent, a citizen of Dearborn, to stand, a Christian pastor who objected to a street being named after I think it was Hamas or something like that. He told me You don’t like it. Leave the town. Because the town now is overwhelmingly not just Muslim, but Islamist. Yeah. We’ll be right back.

Segment 4
You know, it’s been a tough hour about Iran and the invasion of the Islamists and the the good days ahead with that. You want to hear a little bit of good news? I think I do. Do you want to hear a little bit of good news? I think we shall. By the way, Mr. Producer is great. He said, You understand? Today is your 23rd anniversary of starting weekday radio. And you started on ABC in New York. And I want to thank everybody for the cake and all the rest. You know what? You know what I mean? Most of it is. I didn’t get any cake. Actually, I did a book cake for myself. Had nothing to do with this anniversary, and it’s in the fridge and I’m going to have it after the show. What do you think of that one? I’ll make an excuse. I’m celebrating 23 years, but the truth is, this is not possible without you. I want to thank you. You know, Nick for went to see his grandmother. Used to listen to the show. Maybe she still does. Then he banged his head and then he became what he became. But you get the point. Lot of great people. Mr. and Mrs. America. You folks out there working every day, or maybe you’re finally been able to retire. It’s all of you who make this possible. And I want to thank you. We went from starting 23 years ago. On such a magnificent station, ABC. I literally started my radio career in New York City on ABC. Nobody really gets to do that. And it shortly just took off all over the nation, syndicated through ABC Radio Networks and we have great Cumulus Westwood One. So I want to thank all of you out there in the audience. Again, none of this is possible without you. None of it. Where do they start? Fox. February 25th, 2018, I started my show. That is crazy. Eight and a half years ago. Holy mackerel. I’m still looking at this here. Bear with me, America. Mr. Producer gave me this. We started the radio syndication. 20 years ago. Soon to be 21 years ago. It’s incredible. Really incredible. Anyway, that’s all thanks to you folks. I hope I’ve made it worth your while over these years. Some of you are here newly here, and we welcome you to I consider this a national town hall meeting. I consider you folks. Family. You know, when I go somewhere and people come up to me. Of course people see me on TV, but a lot of people listen to the radio. Don’t be fooled to listen to AM FM radio and I have all the affiliates to thank. A lot of people listen to the podcast version of the program, which is basically a stream down, streamlined version, but still. So we appreciate that very, very much. Now, I will only get about ten, 15 seconds. So we’re going to take a break. I didn’t play Harry Eaton, did I, Mr. Producer? So when we come back, I want to give you a little bit of good news. So you and I climb into the roof, if you get my drift. Because everything is not down and out. Everything is not negative. Something very interesting here, according to CNN’s data analyst. We’ll be right back.
