On Monday’s Mark Levin Show, the Iranian people desire freedom amid starvation and lack of water under a fundamentalist Islamic regime that spreads terrorism, including attempts to assassinate President Trump, and must be destroyed to prevent further threats, as either terrorists are killed or they kill others. Eliminating this regime aligns with U.S. national security interests, benefiting allies by impacting China, Russia, and Venezuela, without aiming to install democracy but occasionally aiding others when it serves mutual goals, countering the mindset of inaction. If that regime survives, it will be the greatest missed opportunity against terrorism and an avowed terror state ever. Diplomacy and negotiations are ridiculous words in the context of what’s happening in Iran and what’s happening to those brave people. Also, America is unraveling, with its founding principles under assault by groupism—all largely attributed to Democrats seeking permanent institutional control, as evidenced by attempts to imprison Trump and dominate culture, media, academia, entertainment, and science. The Democrat Party aims to undermine the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Electoral College, Supreme Court, and separation of powers while abusing the rule of law against opponents. Meanwhile, enemies within seek to replace the Republican Party with neo-fascist or Islamist variants, targeting all citizens, though they have failed so far; great republics collapse internally. Later, Sen Elizabeth Warren advocates for Democrats to embrace economic populism to regain ground in the 2026 midterms by focusing on lowering costs for families, mirroring Trump’s messaging. Warren is a Marxist and populism is a leftist concept leading to socialism and tyranny, incompatible with the Constitution. Republicans need to counter Democrat by highlighting their failures in taxes, inflation, immigration, energy shortages, and Obamacare, while rejecting populism in favor of constitutional conservatism to win midterms and build trust.

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Thanks for being here. Lots to cover. Start with Iran. Now, I’m very concerned that unless we do not undertake some kind of military operations better determined by our Pentagon and our secretary of war, that the people in Iran will continue to be slaughtered. They will be demoralized and dispirited that the protests will stop or slow and the Iranian regime will go through and start butchering, raping, torturing and just murdering people left and right. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have to say something to you. I don’t know why why this has taken so long. I really don’t. And I don’t want to hear about warmongers and neocons. We’ll save that for the low IQ sloganeering of the Marxist Islamist sort and the neo fascist sort. The Persian people were our allies. They’re not Arabs. They’re more Western and. They want to be free. The Israelis knocked the crap out of the Iranian military. We blew out their nuclear sites. These people are starving. They don’t have water. That regime is not only a fundamentalist Islamic regime that is spreading terrorism in our hemisphere, in our country, that tried to assassinate our president. But it is a regime. That needs to be destroyed. If you kill terrorists or they kill us. It’s that simple. Oh, they want to talk to us, but they don’t want to talk to us in any rational way. The only reason they want to talk to us is to buy time so they can continue to kill people. This thing could be over in a week, two weeks, maybe less. And so they’re hoping they’re hoping against hope that we will be suckers and will buy into this talk stuff. What happened last time we spoke with them? Nothing. Nothing. They they were breaking out with the nuclear weapons and then we hit them. Well, actually, Israel hit them and then we hit the nuclear weapons. We’re not trying to install a democracy. We’re not trying to do anything. But there are times when we do help our fellow man. We can help them everywhere and we can help them all the time. But in this case, it helps us to. Imagine that regime is gone. The effects it’ll have on China and Russia. And even Venezuela. Imagine that for a moment. It’s in our national security interest. I know there is a mindset out there. There’s a mindset out there that suggests that suggests we should do nothing. Now. I’m going to take a very early break right now. Mr. Producer, I will be right back.
Segment 2
I always like to have some perspective, some some history for us here, folks. We’ve never won a world war without our allies. Never. Never analyze. Don’t have to be in the form of government. They can be in the form of people. I’ve told you before about the Battle of Yorktown. That we would have lost the Revolutionary War and that that fateful battle. But for the French navy. And the French went bankrupt after that battle. And it destroyed their. Their government is really their monarchy. No, I’m not saying we should do the same. We don’t need to do the same. With an ally in the region. That it’s filled with brave lions, Israel, with people in our country who are full of hate and evil. They’re degenerates. Just because I mention that name. These people are dangerous and they’re psychos. You ask why we’re allied with Israel to reasons like this, isn’t it? Most of the terrorism that is unleashed against the United States comes out of the Middle East, comes from Muslim countries almost exclusively. Israel surrounded by those countries. We have an opportunity now to take out the mother ship, the mother ship of terrorism. The one that is involved in more terrorism than any other country in the face of the earth and has been for half a century, has killed God knows how many Americans. The people want to overthrow them. The vast majority of the people in there marching in the streets. And they’re being slaughtered. Slaughtered young, young people. Young people. This is not only a fundamentalist Islamist jihadist terrorist regime slaughters its own people. It’s a thug ocracy. That is, the people who are in the government are getting filthy rich while the people outside of the government are suffering horribly. They’re begging us for their help. For our help, that is. But even more, the president has promised and I’ve counted five times, five times that take action five times. There’s a story in The Wall Street Journal and elsewhere that the vice president is pushing against military action and promoting diplomacy. I have to disagree with them on this. Diplomacy for what? Negotiate about what? Exactly. Every day that goes by, this regime has another opportunity to survive. They don’t want to negotiate. Because they want to give up something. They want to negotiate, so they survive. Let me put it to you this way. Our inaction ensures that that regime will survive. Those people don’t have any arms. They don’t have anything. Meanwhile, Iran is importing a militia from Iraq. I have no doubt they’re importing militia from other parts of the Arab world. And those people are dead ducks. I mean to me. Now that we’ve drawn not one red line, but five red lines, it’s obvious. That we’ve placed ourself in a position where we must act. I don’t mean a cyberattack. We have to act, and there’s many things we can do. Of course, while short of sending in troops, no troops are going to be sent in and they don’t need to be sent. There is an understanding where certain of the military. And others. Our based. They’ve special units to try and destroy their populations. They’ve arrested, I’ve seen estimates, over 10 to 15000 people already. Well, they had prosecuted for the whole country, announced that they’re going to start executing people and they’re going to start executing people tomorrow. To send a message. So by definition, that crossed the five red lines that we have set. That we have set. There are times. When doing the right thing is doing the right thing. In my humble opinion. This is to the benefit of the United States. There’s no question. It’s to the benefit of the Iranian people. There’s no question. It is a problem for the Iranian regime that is a terrorist regime. There’s no question about that. There’s almost a disconnect. A disconnect. There’s like a struggle within the administration. I find from time to time at the mid-level or the secondary level. That does not it’s not in sync with the president. It’s just not in sync with the president. You literally have people in our country now. Podcasters and phony influencers who side with the enemy openly, openly side with the enemy. They used to dress themselves up as appeasers and pacifists and isolationists. No. Now they are mouthpieces for the enemy of the United States. They trashed Jews and Christians. They trashed law enforcement and ICE. Now. It’s really quite, quite shocking. And when you look at further, you see the overlays. I mean, we have a synagogue that was attacked almost I think it was burned to the ground in Jackson, Mississippi, the biggest synagogue there, the only synagogue there. You have a synagogue in yeshiva that’s attacked in New York with Hamas chanting. Islamists. You have efforts being made. Efforts being made. To create Islamist. Communities in areas that are separate and apart from the United States. All this stuff’s going on. All of it. It’s a big problem. There are things going on outside the country and inside the country that requires good people to stand up. There is an overlay to all this. It’s a mentality. Let me ask you a question. You have a synagogue in Jackson, Mississippi, that’s virtually burned to the ground. It’s as old as can be. It was also attacked during the Civil War. And it receives almost no national attention. Little hits here and there. Now I say this not to be offensive. I say this to make a point. If were a black church that were was burned to the ground in Mississippi, we’d hear about it day and night. And we should. And we should. So what gives? You’ve got Islamists in the middle of New York outside a. A synagogue. With bullhorns, with drums, trying to prevent people from worshipping, worshiping in their own synagogue. It’s an American. And it receives minimal attention. From the network’s minimal national attention. Is that okay? I. I see our country. Tearing at the seams here. I see our country tearing at the seams for what I’ve been talking about for a long time now. This Marxist Islamist fusion. Now joined in by the old sort of Klan neo-Nazi types, the neo fascists. And it’s a huge problem. For we as Americans who believe in our founding and believe in our system. So I think this needs to be confronted, whether it’s in Iran or they’re slaughtering their own people, where they’re calling out our names, calling out the president’s name for help. Because they’re not going to. They’re not going to survive without us. So we have a choice to make, a moral choice. I’ve already given you some of the reasons substantively, but how about spiritually? I’ve got more to say. We’ll be right back.
Segment 3
Virtually every Democrat is against us helping the Iranian people, just like they’re against us helping the Venezuelan people. Because that party is gone. Parties lost in their efforts in our party to do the same thing, to just abandon the field. And yet it’s amazing the more technologically advanced weapons become and the smaller the planet becomes. And now we have the enemy right here within the country. And you look around, they’re everywhere. And there their test masters are overseas for the most part. This is a prescription for the destruction of the country, and it’s happened very quickly. And it’s not going to end easily. But they will defeat us if the Democrats win or if the the neo fascist Klansman types in our. Neck of the woods if they win to. Where superpower. And yet the greatest threat that we face is from within. From these these radicals. Here’s the president on Air Force One yesterday, cut one goal, I think crossed the red line here in Wisconsin, starting to, it looks like and this seemed to be some people killed that aren’t supposed to be killed. These are violent, if you call them leaders. I don’t know if they’re leaders or just a they rule through violence. But we’re looking at it very seriously. The military is looking at it. We’re looking at some very strong options will make it. To which options have you been briefed on? Are you meeting with senior officials? Am I is really are you asking me to say what will they do? Where will we attack when and then what angle will we attack from the White House TV? I’m wondering, how are you being briefed on options with CNN, sir? You sat with CNN. She says up with the White House. Cool. And I say what? It was CNN. It was fake news. It is fake news. Mm hmm. Cut to go. They called. They call me yesterday here on call to negotiate. Yesterday, the leaders of Iraq, what they want to negotiate, what their survival. They’ll put some phony thing on the table, like, okay, we won’t put any more nuclear weapons. Those days are over. That’s up. They’re hanging on by their fingernails. They’re trying to destroy our country and they’re the people are rising up trying to take back their country. I mean, to me, this is such a no brainer. It’s not even funny. I don’t care what the ideologues of the of the Klansmen, neo fascist think. I don’t care what the ideologues of the the Marxist Islamists think. They don’t have the nation’s best interests. Go ahead. Cut to please. I think they’re tired of being beat up by the United States. Iran wants to negotiate. We may be with them. I mean, the meeting is being said, okay, what what do they want to negotiate? Well, what do they want to negotiate? Go ahead. We may have to act because of what’s happening before the meeting, but a meeting is being set up. Iran call. They want to negotiate. Should be no meeting, no negotiations would capture focus on Russia and Ukraine. Go over there and. Let’s. Let’s hear Tim Kaine. This guy is a real nutjob senator from Virginia. Go ahead. Get U.S. military action in Iran would be a massive mistake. It would have the effect of giving the Iranian regime the ability to say it’s the US. Now, let me just explain how stupid this is. How stupid this is. It would give the have the effect of giving the Iranian regime the ability to say it’s the US. The people are rising up. They know it’s not the US, it’s them. They’re the ones trying to take their country back. Now how absurd is this? This means any single time. Even in our hemisphere, and they’ve basically said it with Venezuela. That we choose to have freedom fighters the way Reagan did. The way Reagan did in Nicaragua, the way Reagan did in Angola, the way Reagan did all over the world, that you don’t do that because you’ll give the genocidal maniacs another propaganda point. They’re already saying it over there, but it has no impact on the general population because it’s the general population that’s rising up. What is it with these Democrats that they make such stupid comments? They claim to be for the people. They’re never for the people, whether it’s the most awful health care agenda or this stuff. Go ahead. Now Iranians are blaming appropriately the regime for screwing up the country. This Iranian regime has spent years focusing. Yeah, we know all that came. We know it all. And you’ve had your fat ass in a seat in the Senate for God knows how long. And you haven’t done a damn thing. Nothing. And when the president acts in Venezuela, you attack him. And if the president acts in Iran, you’ll attack them, too. It’s hard for people to overthrow a heavily armed police state with their bare hands. It’s very difficult. Go ahead. Resign. Fomenting terrorism and aggression in Iraq. Syria. Lebanon. The United States. The United States. So he’ll list all the problems with Iran. And his solution is sit on your hands like Obama did. Or like Biden. Try and buy him off. Billions and billions of dollars Biden gave them. How sick was that? The Democrats have no answers. For a superpower, derailing duelling in a foreign policy and national security. The Marxists and the Islamists hate us, the neofascist hate us. And they wrap themselves in is if they care about the United States as, you know, role or how the United States is going to look. Then we have Senator Mark Warner. This guy’s a complete putz. A complete patch. Cut five. Go. But what’s happening in Iran? A lot of these things, whether he’s lucky or whether it’s some of the things that he’s done, it could be a much better place globally from when all of these things happened. Iranian regime awful support for the Iranian people. Absolutely. Now, listen, can we put more cyber activities? Can we try to restore the Internet soft on activities? That’s not going to do it. So you shut down the computers? They’re already shutting down the computers. Cyber activities are not going to do it. So this is just B.S. This is just a complete. Propaganda response. Go ahead. Intervene in Iran. The change of government was 1953. See, I overthrew a government there. Most historians say that led to the ayatollahs. No, it didn’t. Late 1950s. 1953 didn’t lead to the Ayatollah. Jimmy Carter led to the Ayatollah. This guy, wherever the hell he was in France or somewhere like that. Carter put enormous pressure on the Shah to bring him back. Shah didn’t want to do it. More pressure on the Shah to bring him back. The Shah brought him back. And what happened is the fundamentalists rose up. And typically what happens is it takes a minority to overthrow a government, whether it’s Mao or Lenin or Castro or whatever it is, takes a man. Even in our own Revolutionary War is about a third of the people supported it. So it takes a minority. A majority is very rare, and yet we have a majority. The people in Iran that want to overthrow that government. And this doofus points to 1953. He’s never going to point to Jimmy Carter. Well, you know, the the CIA overthrew that government there. Okay. Why did they do that? Because they felt like it. Because they thought it would protect the United States. You have to wait to be attacked. Go ahead. Toll is gone, but there’s got to be a plan. And even with as good as our military has, who are we going to bomb in Iran? Now, I’ll tell you who you bomb on Iran. First of all, you not had to bomb. Anybody can spend, send forces in there. The Israelis know how to do it. Take out certain individuals like the leadership. But there are other things you can do. They know the locations of some of these units that are used exclusively to put down the population. No, they’re not going to lay out all the things that they can do. But this, this, this airhead. It would do nothing. Other than ring his hands. Oh, they’re awful over there. I’ll give them that. Oh, good for you. Good for you. They want the people in our country to rise up against ice few years ago, to rise up against local cops about 40 years ago, to rise up against the military over Vietnam. And here the people are rising up legitimacy legitimately in Iran. And what’s their answer? They have no answer. Except we shouldn’t do anything. There may be cyber security, you know, cyber attack. Maybe some of that like that will make a difference. Won’t make any difference. So they have no ideas. They have no plans, period. Here’s John Fetterman, the only rational Democrat, I think, in the damn whole Congress. Cut seven. Go. Yeah, if it makes sense again. If those strikes make sense, Absolutely. I do support those things. You know, I don’t know exactly what the conversation is. I’m saying I’m open to that. And I am actually inspired by the real kinds of courage that those protesters in Iran are demonstrating now. So I don’t know why we can’t all want to support that, to back them and now bring that awful regime to its knees. Now, that’s where it’s at right now. They’re so desperate now. They’re they they they killed the Internet and now they’re mowing down their own citizens. And now they’re even so desperate, offering $6 a month as some kind of a pay off. Now, to now for for me, I think we can all agree that the world would be better, safer and more. Just if you could break that regime is 100% right. I’ll be right back.
Segment 4
In some ways, the the minority of voices sound like the majority of voices. And this is partly intended, if not significantly intended, by the mass media. Whenever they do these surveys or polls of the American people. You’re very patriotic. You’re very traditional. They want the strongest military on the face here. You’re not isolationist. You’re not interventionist. You know you are. You’re prudential. What does that mean? That means you use judgment to make decisions. In each case, Judgments. And your judgments are based on our principles, American principles. So when you listen to some of these phony influencers or when you listen to some of these city mayors or senators and congressmen or whatever. You scratch your head or you shake your head or your tie, you turn to your spouse or your kid. You say, That’s not right. Right. That’s not right. We Americans don’t think that way. And we Americans don’t think that way. But we don’t think like Mondavi and Bernie Sanders and Omar and Talib and AOC. And Cain and Warner. We don’t think like Carlson and Kelly and Bannon and these other people yet. They get all the headlines. They get all the attention. And that’s intentional. Why? Why did the left wing Democrat media push? The neo fascists, the isolationists and so forth. Number one, they want to break the Republican Party. They want to they want to chip off enough votes out of the Republican Party, they feel. That they can win the next election. Number two, they’re sympathetic to what the Marxist Islamists have to say They have to be, and they are. They’re sympathetic to it. And this new so-called communication revolution. It just provides more and more platforms. For more and more lunatics. The rational people. They get drawn out. I’ll give you an example. Oh, I don’t know. Five, six, seven days ago. Caterson does one of his usual shows where he’s out there attacking Israel, attacking the Jews, attacking America, attacking Christians, building up Islamists, building up Qatar. He’s a sick bastard. That’s what he is. So he has Megyn Kelly on who has lost her mind. I believe she’s mentally ill. I really do. She’s lost in space and that spaces between her ears. She’s become as contemptible as the rest, she defends. Kartal since she defends, owns an out of the closet bigot. She defends Bannon, a convicted crook she defends for went this a Hitler Stalin lover. So you are the company that you keep. You people wouldn’t defend them. You wouldn’t have dinner with them. You wouldn’t do anything with them. And yet there she is, one of the worst grifters ever. And she gets on there and she says, I hate Catholics. Now, awful lot of you folks listening to this show, a Catholics, Mr. Producer, is a Catholic. I hate Catholics. Where does that come from? I don’t think there’s been a bigger defender on mass media of Christianity, including Catholics, than me. But I’m not going to play defense on this sort of thing. It just shows you what it does. So three days later, a site called Media eight that’s owned by Dan Abrams and it lives on these hits and these clicks. This is how they make their money, all of them. And they write a headline saying that she rips me for hating Catholics. Now they know she’s a pathological liar. They know she has no morals or character. Everybody does at this point. I told you, she’s. The happy hooker politics. Except she’s not happy because she’s had more positions than anybody I can think of. And there she is. And they run the headline and they run the story three days. Why? Clicks. And that’s the problem. That’s the problem. People are pushing these things they know aren’t true. But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. It’s now you have an endless number of platforms, people who do exactly that. Who do exactly that. And so it undermines the spirit of America. It undermines the knowledge base of America. It’s it’s cancerous and it’s metastasizing. Which is why I call this Radio Free America, which is why I couldn’t be prouder to have you here. We’ve got two more powerful hours. I hope you’ll stay. We’ll be right back.
