Rough transcription of Hour 1

Segment 1
Hello America. Mark Levin here.  Our number 877-381-3811.  877-381-3811. That be me. We’ve been getting a lot of calls lately. All right. Well, the president posted today and they announced today that they’re in. They couldn’t tell if they’re in a preliminary agreement or he’s about to go into a preliminary agreement with the enemy. And I don’t think there’s anything new. No nukes, no, you know, enriched uranium, so forth and so on. I believe they’re a little clearer on when money would be released, when certain targets are made, things of that sort. And and so forth. Here’s my problem. By the way, I’m on HANNITY tonight. I don’t know what time, 9 p.m., but sometime that hour. HANNITY 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Fox. And I’ll state my position there. I’m sure it’ll be very much appreciated, Mr. Producer. Anyway. Look, my position. President will do what he wants. He’s in charge. I’m not in charge, but I’m in the business of giving my thoughts about these things. And it won’t surprise you in the radio audience at all. I don’t believe in any deal with the enemy for several reasons, and I will summarize them. Number one, the enemy cannot be trusted. They’re terrorists. Number two, for 47 years, they have lied, cheated and stolen. That is, for 47 years, every single agreement they’ve signed, they have violated. Number three, their ideology and their fundamentalism going back to seventh century. Does not even permit them to make a deal with us that they intend to honor. They exist for the very purpose of spreading this Islamist revolution. And they’re not going to sign papers with the West as the big Satan and conclude, okay, now we have an obligation that’s bigger than God. They believe Allah. Allah directs them to do what they’re doing. It is a death cult. Number four. I don’t know how in any agreement. You can write terms that are. Self enforceable. Because I do not believe after President Trump leaves that any Democrat president would enforce the terms of this agreement. They would not use the military, they would not use economic sanctions or boycotts. In fact, they do the opposite. They pay them more. Data, please them and pay them more. I do not believe there are many Republicans. If they became president, who would do any better? There’s an isolationist wing even in the Republican Party, apart from the woke right neo fascist. I think there’s a couple of Republican presidents that might enforce it, but that’s it. Furthermore. It will be much more difficult to go back in there. I forget what number five, whatever it is, does it matter? It be much more difficult to go back in there after all of this? Because they will have advanced even further. I am troubled very much that I don’t hear them talking at all about ballistic missiles. It was the ballistic missiles that did all the damage during the war, both in Israel and the Arab countries. And we’re led to believe that the Arabs don’t want to continue the war because they’re worried about ballistic missiles being fired and destroying. Their energy sectors. So where is the ballistic missile issue? The drones. They’re very sophisticated drones now, thanks to the Russians. They do enormous damage. Hezbollah. Iran wants Hezbollah tucked within the agreement. Hezbollah must be separated out from the agreement because Hezbollah’s raining missiles down on Israel, its communities, its neighborhoods and the north. And now they’re reaching into the central part of Israel. Israel’s having to depopulate these areas, and they cannot put up with that any more than we would put up with it. If some terrorist group was firing missiles at us and hitting Texas or New Mexico or Arizona or what have you. Moreover, we have told Israel that they can they can take defensive military actions against Hezbollah. That’s got to stop. We got to stop telling them what to do. And if they want to wipe out Hezbollah, go for it. Because right now, Hamas, which we promised would be disarmed in phase two, has not been. And during the so-called cease fire for six weeks, Hezbollah has violated it every minute of the day. Every minute of the day. There is literally nothing that convinces me and I don’t think you. That this terrorist Islamist regime. That this barbarian regime has any intention of complying with the terms of this agreement for any significant period of time, certainly not after Trump leaves office. And therein lies the problem enforceability. They claim is that this will contain the Iranian regime. There’s no proof for that fact. The proof is otherwise, in my humble opinion. The evidence is that they won’t. Now, President Trump has done a lot to deal with this regime. He’s done more than any president in the last half century. This was dropped in his lap. In his first term. He got rid of the the Obama deal because they were the the enemy to get nuclear weapons. That was Obama’s contribution. Before Obama, there was Carter. Carter ushered in in 1979, this Islamo Nazi regime, our enemy. And then there’s Biden, who literally funded their conventional and nuclear weapons programs with tens of billions of dollars in relief. We must never do that. Anybody who believes that any relief we provide, and that’s suggested here in this initial part of the agreement, that that will be used to improve the lot of the people there to make sure they’re fed and so forth. Is smoking something. That’ll be used by the regime to strengthen the regime, to pay the army, to pay the IRGC to take care of the regime. You don’t slaughter 50,000 of your own people and they take money, precious money that you don’t have that comes into your in your government and give it to those people. That’s not what they’re going to do. And for the life of me, I’ve never understood why we don’t arm these people, train them and arm them. I’ve never understood this. So I have a different perspective, that’s all. And I’m putting my reputation on the line right now. Well, that’s the next few years, whether it’s the next many years or whether it’s after my lifetime that this regime, this regime will not comply. With the essential elements of this deal. Period. That’s my problem. You know, here’s the thing, America. Every generation before has has. A tremendous sacrifice, some incredible sacrifice. Then what needs to be done to ensure that the following generation will be safe and free? That’s right. We’ve gone to war zone with us. People have sacrificed everything over this. That’s why when we talk about the price of gasoline, I get very annoyed. I understand the price of gasoline is expensive and it hurts a lot of people. But you want to see real sacrifice. You look at history, our history, and not a recent history. I fear that we’ve become weak as a society, not you in this audience. You’re strong or you wouldn’t be here. But you know what I’m talking about. I really do. When you look all over the world, when you look at mankind in mankind’s history, look at the Roman. Republican then empire the. The Republic lasted a little under 500 years. Then Caesar came in and turned it into an empire. The Empire, The Western Empire lasted for about another 500 years. The Eastern Empire lasted more, but that’s irrelevant. So basically, Rome itself lasted a thousand years. The Republican. Part of it. The first half of it and then the second half, the dictatorship. The emperor. In the end. What defeated it? Weakness from within. Inflation, they couldn’t stop spending money. Corruption in the elite class and the political class. What else? Immigration. Then the attacks by the Huns and the Barbarians. They not only let their guard down, it was over a period of decades that they let their guard down. They didn’t have the will to survive. They destroyed themselves. Sound familiar? Importing into our own country the enemy, whether it’s Marxists or Islamists. Seriously. Importing it into our own country, bringing it into our politics, into our schools, our classrooms. These are the actions of a nation that does not want to survive and the actions of a nation that wants to commit suicide. And what drives me crazy is that it’s not you and me. That’s probably a third of the population and probably 70 80% of the so-called elitist ruling class members. We love our country. We’ve got a lot of challenges, don’t we? Donald Trump is doing what he thinks is right. He loves the country, unlike the Democrats. He loves our Constitution, unlike the Democrats. He’s not looking to change the citizenry, unlike the Democrats. He knows Iran is an enemy. Unlike the Democrats, they give him aid and comfort. The Democrats through their statements and actions. That have caused the Iranian regime to become even more stubborn. And resisting. But on this issue, on how do we end this? I have my own opinion. And I draw my own opinion based on my own reasoning capabilities. I look at the history of the regime. I look at the ideology, the regime. A look at how the regime is conducting itself even now during a so-called cease fire. And look how the regime treats its own people versus the elite. The character, such as it is of the regime, the intentions of the regime, the goals of the regime. And from my perspective, unless this regime is destroyed. It’ll be back and it’ll be worse. It would be nice if the nation united around the president made it easier. Be nice if the Democrat Party wasn’t giving aid and comfort to the enemy and undermining our president. It would be nice. But all that said. I don’t think a deal is the answer. That’s just one man’s opinion. I’ll be right back.

Segment 2
Breaking news reporting by Air Jacobi. Online is really quite sharp. A new report claims the Trump administration restrained Israel from using its full capabilities against Iran. It planned to mobilize Kurds. The Kurdish forces were shelved under heavy pressure from Erdogan of Turkey. Yeah. It doesn’t sound like Netanyahu controls the president, does it? Do you, Mr. Producer? So Turkey intervened. Argued against us mobilizing and arming the Kurdish forces. And also to prevent the Israelis from really unloading on the Iranians in its full capabilities against them. And we sided with Turkey. According to this report. I’m telling you now, that’s just foolish. Very, very foolish. Erdogan is the enemy. Erdogan is a national socialist Islamist. That’s what he is. He’s taken turkey. There was actually a secular democracy that Ataturk had set up. And he’s destroyed the governing system and he’s thrown tens of thousands of people in prison. He’s, quote unquote, disappeared people. He’s tried to destroy the Kurds. There’s 25 million Kurds there. You know, it’s no joke. And so all this trash talk on the Kurds, the Kurds are saying we didn’t get any arms, we didn’t steal any arms. We don’t know what anybody’s talking about. And according to this report, they didn’t get arms. In fact, it was shelved under heavy pressure from Erdogan. I’m just saying. And I think that was, in my humble opinion, a big fail. In that regard, because that was the opportunity to give the Iranian people the opportunity, as they say, to rise up. And of course, there’s absolutely no talk about the Iranian people. So, look, I’m not here to be a wet blanket. I’m not here to throw a wrench into the works. I’m here to raise serious, substantive issues. And I wouldn’t be me. And I wouldn’t be doing you a service of any kind. By biting my tongue. I’m not here to sabotage the stab in the back. Any of that stuff. That’s what the woke, right Neofascist do. They viciously attacked the president, viciously attacked, Maggie, conservatism, the Republican Party. They want the Democrats to win. They want to create their own political entity. That’s not me. That’s not me. You can politely and civilly and legitimately raise issues. That’s what America is all about. That’s exactly what I’m doing. We’ll be right back.

Segment 3
So as you can see, ladies and gentlemen, now we know a constant calls, public calls here and elsewhere to arm the Iranian people or the Kurds. Doesn’t matter to me. Whatever can potentially work. Apparently they were blinded because Turkey’s Erdogan didn’t want to see it happen. That’s pretty troubling to me. And according to another report. We won’t or did not, I should say, continue military operations during this long two week cease fire that went on for six and a half weeks because Saudi Arabia didn’t want us to do it. Now, weird, Rick. Meanwhile, the Jews are in charge. You see, Israel is dragging us into these things. Say the woke right Jew haters. America haters. And now the Democrat Party officially. Now there’s more. You know, we have other enemies and they’re all watching this. And they don’t seem to be very deterred by what’s taking place. China’s building launchpads near its nuclear missile silos, according to Reuters. In a remote China desert. A vast military complex is taking shape that some security scholars say appears built to ensure no American first strike on China’s nuclear arsenal could reliably knock out Beijing’s ability to have back. China’s nuclear missiles can already reach any city in America. Now, satellite images reviewed by Reuters show Beijing is building a sprawling web of launchpads, bunkers, communication nodes near the isolated nuclear silos that hold the Chinese military’s long longest range missiles. Well, I’m glad they’re friends with us and we’re friends with them, Mr. Producer, Imagine if we weren’t. China’s built more than 80 launch pads, three octagon shaped installations. They have a map right here. Reuters does in its remote northwest near the Hami nuclear silo field. The images reveal more than 80 pads for possible use by China’s expanding fleet of mobile missile launchers and air defense batteries. I fear this is what Iran is going to be doing in 20 years. Please listen to me. If you want to. Get involved in this. You want to call politicians, and now’s the time to do this. Because these kinds of weapons in the hands of the Iranian regime. I don’t care what the radical libertarians say. I don’t care what the scumbags out there say, the mentally low IQ buffoons out there with microphones. Listen to me. I know what I’m talking about. I want you to imagine weapons like this in the hands of a seventh century terrorist regime that’s not afraid to destroy itself as long as it destroys us. These are suicide bombers that seek nuclear weapons. They’ve only been attacking us relentlessly for 47 years, and they’re going to be able to reach us soon with ballistic missiles, with nuclear warheads on them. Excuse me. Cholera. The scale of the construction. These Chinese launchpads, which hasn’t been previously reported, points to a sweeping expansion of hardened infrastructure designed to protect and operate China’s land based nuclear forces. Taken together, the network signals a significant upgrade in Beijing’s efforts to ensure second strike capability, underscoring intensifying nuclear competition with the United States as tensions rise over issues such as Taiwan sovereignty. So now they’ll threaten us. Now they’ll blackmail us. Two of the dozens of concrete pads you can see in the in the actual images. We can see this infrastructure is being built on a grand scale, covering thousands of square kilometers of desert beyond the silo fields, said Alexander Neill, an adjunct fellow at Harvard’s Pacific Forum think tank. Depending on the precise capabilities, he said, we’re looking at a very considerable enhancement and diversification at China’s strategic nuclear deterrent. Why we standstill. They keep movement. That’s why these isolationists really work for the enemy. We should keep all of our ships in port. Maybe even dry dock. Same with our nuclear subs. We should keep our jets. And our bombers. In their hangers. Our Marines and our Army should should hide out in the barracks unless something literally touches our continental United States. Just ignore it. These damn fools will get all of us killed. The ability to protect its desert silos is key to China’s stated goal of forging a minimal but credible nuclear deterrent, a policy grounded in the capacity to retaliate if it struck first. While the People’s Liberation Army can fire nuclear weapons from submarines and aircraft, the silo fields in the northwestern region are the core of its nuclear forces. China’s nuclear buildup is among the most scrutinized facets of President JI’s military modernization because of what some foreign diplomats describe as Beijing’s lack of transparency in failed efforts by the United States to engage the Chinese leadership on its evolving nuclear capability. We engage them all the time, you morons. They’re the enemy. They’re evil. The cornerstone of China’s doctrine is its no first use policy, meaning its forces wouldn’t initiate a nuclear exchange. But some senior Western diplomats and analysts say China would possibly resort to nuclear coercion to limit outside involvement in a conflict over Taiwan. That’s my concern. That’s why they’re building them. We’re going to invade Taiwan, and you better stay the hell out of here. Now, what do you think we’ll do? We’ll stay the hell out of there because we’re demonstrating this. We can’t have Turkey and Saudi Arabia telling us what to do. G this month warned U.S. President Trump the mishandling of their country’s disagreements over Taiwan, which China claims as its territory falsely. Could lead them to a dangerous place. Taiwan government rejects China’s sovereignty claim, and Taiwan is right. They have no claim. China’s Defense Ministry didn’t respond to questions and blah, blah, blah. The new desert infrastructure is centered on two octagon shaped installations. But over the past six years in eastern U.S.. Both are southwest of the Hamid nuclear silo fields and so forth. Satellite image. They got all these satellite images, if you want to pull it up on the Internet. I mean, these are very modern facilities. It’s just incredible what they’re doing, the amount of resources they pour into this stuff. And the president wants to increase our defense budget to 1.5 trillion. That would make it the percentage of the gross domestic product that existed under Reagan every year when America got a lot of redistribution to do around here. Yeah, we had a nationalized. Yes. And nationalized that. Dumb bastard. What do you make of this, ladies and gentlemen? Hmm. What do you make of this? I one of the ways you can really cope with it, at least to some extent, China is through energy. They get a lot of their energy. Not all of it. A lot of their energy from Venezuela and Iran. Venezuela’s under control. And it looks like we’re going to let Iran off the leash. That’s the way I see it. That’s the way I see it. Very, very worrisome. Hey, but what do I know? You know? What do I know? I know a lot, actually. We need to increase our defense budget yet. Look at our debt. We’ve talked about this at length yesterday. Look at our debt. It’s out of control. Our priorities are completely screwed up. But I don’t see how we fix them with the Democrat Party the way it is. The way our system works, they can stop stuff. Stopping in his tracks. We have the thinnest of majorities. But ultimately, the problem is a significant number of our fellow citizens. If they would elect people who were responsible for it, who were responsible and responsive to this sort of thing. Well, then we could do something about it. Right? Then we could fix it. Then the enemy would be killed. And then we can we can at least move slowly, as it would be to try to try to get the debt under control and so forth and so on. But we can’t do it when we have citizens that elect a man dummy. We have citizens that elect a Bernie Sanders. When we have citizens who elect. And you can go right down the list. Becomes impossible. When you have 40% of the country that loves the country, you have 40% of the country that hates it and 10% are trying to figure out where the bathroom is. It’s problematic. We’ll be right back.

Segment 4
I want to congratulate Jim Jordan and his team and the entire membership on the Republican side of the House Judiciary Committee. They issued a release this morning. New memo reveals Biden-Harris administration misused taxpayer dollars to fund radical anti-Israel protests and terrorist linked nongovernmental organizations. So you have. Our government under Biden. If the Qataris. You have the Iranians, you have the Turks. And you have the Chinese communists all putting out propaganda, all funding NGOs to take down Iran, Israel. And then we go, Boy, they have a PR problem here, don’t they? Mr. Producer? It is. The release says. Today, the House Judiciary Committee released a memo titled The Biden-Harris Administration’s Funding of anti-Netanyahu Non-governmental Organizations Part two, detailing a continued pattern of the Biden-Harris administration neglect and misuse of taxpayer dollars for the USAID, the State Department and other federal agencies. They were used to directly and indirectly fund the efforts of anti-Netanyahu organizations and terrorist groups. There’s also evidence that U.S. nonprofits may be violating their 501c3 IRA tax status by funding radical anti-Israel groups and protests against the Israeli government, our own bureaucracy, the Democrat Party, enemies all over the world. You got to wonder how these podcasters have turned like they’ve turned. Don’t you sell a lot of money in Jew hating and Netanyahu hating in Israel hating? The committee released its first memo in June 2025, revealing that the Biden-Harris administration provided grants to groups that contributed directly and indirectly to the judicial reform protests that sought to undermine the Israeli government. The committee’s key findings U.S. nonprofit Rockefeller Brothers Fund, provided nearly $4 million to radical anti-Israel groups, including some with alleged ties to terrorist organizations. If you’re Jewish and you’re still Democrat, you are suicidal and a buffoon to boot. U.S. Aid grantee and tax exempt organization The Tides Network provided over a million to anti-Israel groups, including with some that had ties to terrorist organizations, U.S. non-profits, the Jewish Communal Fund and its grantees Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors and PEF. Israel Endowment Funds may be violating Section 501c3 of the IRS Code tax exempt status by funding radical anti-Israel groups. Israeli Nonprofit Movement for Equality Government has vowed to cooperate with the committee’s inquiry concerning its funding of anti-Israeli government non-governmental organizations. According to a 2023 audit, Israeli nonprofit and U.S. government grantees, Abraham Initiatives failed to comply with anti-terrorism procedures, and the committee will continue to work to prevent the misuse of federal grant funds interfere in the political affairs of foreign countries. Now what is the awoke, Right? Ari, I see a neo fascist podcaster Claire’s going to do. Here we have our government under the Democrats. Funding attacks on the Israeli government and their prime minister, not the other way around. Where the headlines. America. I don’t see them, do you? Where’s the headlines? Where are the aggregation sites like Media Site and the Drudge Report? Where are they? The Democrat Party has taken a side. It’s siding with the Islamists. And the Marxists. They are bringing them in the umbrella under the umbrella. And they are taking congressional seats. They seek Senate seats. And soon they will have judgeships. If you’re a hard working American and you’re a registered Democrat for some reason, maybe it’s an environmental issue or a labor issue or whatever, you better rethink this. You better rethink this right now. Because this is well beyond any of that. This isn’t about labor relations or the environment. I’m telling you now. This is about your way of life. This is about liberty. This is about securing our country for our people. And we’re being taken to the cleaners. And we have to unite. If you love this country. If you believe in this country, if you’re a patriot. We have to unite. It’s clear who our adversaries are. It’s clear who our enemies are. It’s clear which party’s doing what. There’s no pretending otherwise. There’s no turning away. And saying, I don’t know. I am telling you the evidence is overwhelming. It’s overwhelming. I’ve done some research. I always do. Libya used to be a Christian country. Egypt used to be a Christian country. Syria used to be a Christian country. Iraq used to be a Christian country. Jordan used to be a Christian country. Israel, the state of Israel today. Over 3800 years ago, nearly 4000 years ago. Where settled by the Jews. Abraham and his wife, Sarah. The patriarchs are buried in Hebron in Israel, which is now 99% Palestinian. I’ll be right back.
