10/10/25 - Qatar's Controversial Military Partnership: A Shocking Revelation

Summary

Mark Levin Podcast — October 11, 2025

Episode: Qatar's Controversial Military Partnership: A Shocking Revelation

---

Overview

In this episode, Mark Levin—joined frequently by Steve Deace—delivers an urgent, impassioned critique of the U.S. military’s new partnership with Qatar, announcing that a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility will be built at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho. Levin challenges the wisdom, precedent, and morality of deepening military interdependence with a regime he assails as a leading funder of terrorism and anti-American activism, especially in light of Qatar’s connections to 9/11 and ongoing support for groups like Hamas and the Taliban.

The program also veers into related territory: pressure on Israel, American universities’ acceptance of foreign money fueling anti-Israel and anti-American sentiment, Supreme Court races, and criticism of media and conservative influencers who, in Levin’s view, have failed to sound the alarm on Islamism, Marxism, and threats to American ideals.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Qatar’s Military Facility in Idaho: A Shocking Precedent

• Announcement & Reaction (04:40–05:24)
  • Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, announces that the U.S. is “signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho” to host Qatari F15s and training (04:40–05:24).
  • Levin: “Say what? The Qataris have a base in the United States for whatever the reason. They're going to pay for it, no doubt, but we're building it.” (05:00)
  • Deace: “We're building the Qatari Emiri Air Force... in Idaho. One of the worst Islamist terrorist states on the face of the earth. That plays both sides.” (06:50–06:58)
• Levin’s Critique
  • Stresses that such an arrangement is unprecedented—beyond even NATO partnerships and existing treaties.
  • Draws a stark contrast: “We haven’t done that with any other country... Not with Britain or France, not with Israel.” (34:20)
  • Quote: “This is a brutal, monarchical, inbred dictatorship.” (02:56)
• Security and Morality Concerns
  • Expresses alarm at training Qatari pilots on advanced U.S. jets, questioning their allegiances and intentions.
  • “Did we get an apology for 9/11? Did they agree to swear off terrorism?” (05:51)
  • Condemns the U.S. government for “slobbering over” Qatar while pressuring Israel (10:16–11:41).

2. Qatar’s Track Record: Terror Financing & Influence Operations

• Deace: “The biggest funder of terrorism in the world. The biggest funder of Islamism in our colleges and universities... front groups that talk about overthrowing the United States.” (02:10)
• Levin: Highlights Qatar’s protection of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), support for the Taliban, and ongoing funding of Hamas.
  • “They helped KSM escape from our FBI.” (02:10–02:46)
• Financial Influence in U.S. Institutions
  • Qatar’s money “spreads around Democrat, Republican, all over our government, all over the people, the grifters who hang around our government, the special interests, the lobbyists, the law firms.” (04:19)

3. Hypocrisy in U.S. Foreign Policy

• Levin and Deace lampoon the praise heaped on Qatar and Saudi Arabia while Israel faces relentless pressure and criticism.
  • “Saudi Arabia, thank you. Saudi Arabia, thank you. Qatar, thank you, thank you, thank you all. But we had to pressure, you know, Israel...” (09:51)
  • Deace: “The Israelis are fighting for their survival... They haven't asked for any bases in the United States either. They don't have an agreement that we will use the full force of the United States military to protect them if they're attacked. Only Qatar has that.” (29:07)

4. Who Is Accountable?

• Levin expresses frustration at Congress—particularly Republicans—whom he accuses of passivity or being compromised:
  • “I guess the senators and congressmen are going to sit on their asses and just watch all this happen, right? Especially the Republicans. Probably half of them have bought off, too.” (11:26)

5. Broader Culture War: Islamism, Marxism, and American Institutions

• Universities: Billions of dollars from Qatar (and others) have, per Levin, corrupted Ivy Leagues, fueled radical campus anti-Israel/anti-American mobs: “Hitler Youth. The river to the sea crowd. Burning of the American flag. Carrying the Muslim Brotherhood flag. Right there in our own country.” (21:02)
• Media/Influencers: Condemns fellow conservatives and right-wing podcasters he believes are enabling or ignoring the threat (“Kitarlson,” “Owens,” “Bannons”), accusing them of “embracing more Islamism than Americanism and Christianity and Judaism” (14:54).

6. Reflection on Conservative Voices & Rush Limbaugh

• Levin and Deace present an archival Rush Limbaugh call (68:48–73:01), providing a standard for principled conservatism and unwavering support for Israel. They lament the current lack of strong, honest advocacy in the face of growing radicalism.
  • “Rush would be disgusted by it... There’s no way in hell he would support or defend any country, let alone Qatar, having a base in the United States of America.” (59:44–63:13)

7. Audience Reaction: Callers Respond

• Multiple callers, including veterans, call in horrified by the Qatari air base plan, questioning national security, precedent, and common sense.
  • “We should not have a foreign country having a base in the United States, period. Let alone Qatar... This is a bad precedent.” (99:59–100:14, retired first sergeant Jerry)
  • “I am absolutely horrified and appalled at this idea of putting any nation's military base... on our sovereign soil.” (104:48, Luzia, former Army officer)
• Deace remarks: “I've got veterans lined up here... furious with this. I think this audience, massive audience, is really repulsed by this. I think this was a terrible move.” (105:45)

8. Related Topics: Gaza, Hostage Deal, Supreme Court

• Levin delves into the current Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage crisis, emphasizing the moral hazards of prisoner exchanges (81:40–84:01).
• Calls attention to Pennsylvania’s critical Supreme Court retention races, painting them as pivotal for future election integrity. (89:24–94:44)
• Touches on increasing activism and funding fueling Antifa/leftist violence (77:45–79:09).

Tone & Style

True to Mark Levin’s reputation, the episode brims with passionate, staccato delivery, tinged with sarcasm, incredulity, and moral urgency. He is unyielding in his condemnation of Qatar, unwavering in his support for Israel, and unapologetically combative toward those—inside or outside his movement—who, in his judgment, betray American and Western values.

---

Summary for Non-Listeners

This episode is an urgent, uncompromising call to reject deeper U.S.–Qatari military ties, warning that they compromise national security, betray American values, and empower a regime with a long, unrepentant record of terrorism sponsorship. Levin underscores the lack of precedent, questions the motives of U.S. leadership, and rails against complacency and corruption—among policymakers, universities, the media, and even some fellow conservative commentators. The episode closes with reflections on Rush Limbaugh’s legacy, audience feedback from outraged veterans, and warnings about the hollowing out of American institutions—not just by adversaries abroad, but by those Levin sees as quislings within.

Transcript

[Mark Levin]

America's best days are yet to come. That's because conservatives like you know and.

[Steve Deace]

Live the values our great country was built on.

[Mark Levin]

The Heritage foundation exists to make sure your voice is heard in the D.C. swamp each day, shining the light on a bright future. The Heritage foundation stands for your values and won't give up the fight because they know you never will. Paid for by the Heritage Foundation. He's here.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here now. Broadcasting from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under to the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Lee. Sam.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number, 877-381-3811-877738-13811. Qatar.

[Steve Deace]

The biggest funder of terrorism in the world. The biggest funder of terrorism in the United States. The biggest funder of Islamism in our colleges and universities in K through 12. The biggest funder of these front groups that talk about overthrowing the United States. A principal involved in KSM's protection as he organized 911 and they helped him escape from our FBI, the backer of the Taliban when we had troops in Afghanistan.

[Mark Levin]

We've already agreed that we will use the full force of the United States military, every corner of it, every aspect.

[Steve Deace]

Of it, every service in defense of Qatar.

[Mark Levin]

A brutal, monarchical, inbred dictatorship. And now.

[Steve Deace]

Now it appears we. We gave them even more. Something we've never given any other country. It's enough that we gave them our military. We haven't done that with any other country either. Just NATO, and that's a treaty, but not any single country.

[Mark Levin]

And the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.

[Steve Deace]

Was with the Qatari Ministry of Defense today at the Pentagon. Looked like a love fest to me, Mr. Producer. They were very tight. The.

[Mark Levin]

Patting on the head of the.

[Steve Deace]

Qatari emirate was constant. The thanks were constant. Here we have a predator that funded Hamas.

[Mark Levin]

And then we, we appreciate the fact.

[Steve Deace]

That they were a mediator in forcing Hamas to do X, Y and Z. Never seen anything like this in my life. The only thing Qatar has is money. Money which it spreads around Democrat, Republican, all over our government, all over the.

[Mark Levin]

The people, the grifters who hang around our government, the special interests, the lobbyists, the law firms. But we've done something I've never seen before. Extraordinary. I'll let the Secretary of War explain. Cut three, go.

[Pete Hegseth]

And I'm also proud that today we're announcing or signing a letter of acceptance to build A Qatari Emiri Air force facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho.

[Mark Levin]

Stop right there.

[Steve Deace]

I said what? We're building the Qatari Emiri Air Force.

[Mark Levin]

Facility at the Mountain Home base in Idaho. Say what? So the Qataris have a base in the United States for whatever the reason. They have a base in Idaho. We're building it. They're going to pay for it, no doubt, but we're building it.

[Steve Deace]

Go ahead.

[Pete Hegseth]

Host a contingent of Qatari F15s and pilots to enhance our combined training. Increase lethality, interoperability. It's just another example of our partnership.

[Mark Levin]

It's just another example of our partnership.

[Steve Deace]

Why are we training that on F15s? Who are they fighting? And did in turn, we get an apology for 9, 11.

[Mark Levin]

The Israelis get an apology for October 7th. Did they agree to swear off terrorism.

[Steve Deace]

With the Muslim Brotherhood, among others. Did they?

[Mark Levin]

I'm not aware of it. That hasn't been announced. I have to admit, America, I am.

[Steve Deace]

Stunned, absolutely stunned by this.

[Mark Levin]

In my humble opinion, just one man's opinion was bad enough that we committed the entire United States military to Qatar's defense in an executive order, which of.

[Steve Deace]

Course won't hold up against scrutiny. You need a treaty to do that.

[Mark Levin]

But still. And now let's start at the top. Because your ears are not lying to you. Let's start at the top. Cut three.

[Steve Deace]

Go.

[Pete Hegseth]

And I'm also proud that today we're announcing we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emiri air force facility at the Mountain Home Air base in Idaho.

[Mark Levin]

Here you go.

[Steve Deace]

Right in the heart of America.

[Mark Levin]

Wow.

[Steve Deace]

One of the worst Islamist terrorist states on the face of the earth. That plays both sides. I've talked about this many times. They buy companies, they buy sporting clubs, they do all these things necessary to appear very western while they plot the destruction of the west, including our country. I mean, really, you can test this yourself, folks. Go online. Look at these fantastic organizations that track the money, track the terrorist activities. You'll see Qatar's imprint everywhere. Its DNA is everywhere, especially in our country. Go ahead.

[Pete Hegseth]

Location. Will be host a contingent of Qatari F15s and pilots to enhance our combined training. Increase lethality.

[Steve Deace]

We're going to train them, the best.

[Mark Levin]

Pilots on the face of the earth.

[Steve Deace]

Our pilots are going to train their pilots on F15s that they got from us. Go ahead.

[Pete Hegseth]

It's just another example of our partnership. And I hope you know, your excellency, that you can count on us.

[Steve Deace]

Count on us to do what? Count on us to do what? I asked the 911 families KSM if he'd been stopped. Louis Freeh, former FBI Director, said, if he had been stopped, it was unlikely 911 would have happened. They paid him. They allowed him to plot in an.

[Mark Levin]

Apartment they put aside for him a fake job they created for him.

[Steve Deace]

The FBI went into that apartment to get him after the giving the Qatari.

[Mark Levin]

Royal family the heads up that they were coming to get him. Of course we don't want to violate their sovereignty. And they helped him escape.

[Steve Deace]

He cut off Daniel Pearl's head. He did.

[Mark Levin]

And he unleashed 9 11. And now, according to the Secretary of.

[Steve Deace]

War, we're going to build a Qatari Emory Air Force facility at the Mountain.

[Mark Levin]

Home Air Base in Idaho.

[Steve Deace]

For the Qataris so we can teach them on.

[Mark Levin]

Our F15s with our great pilots on how to fly those planes.

[Steve Deace]

Go ahead, Midnight Hammer.

[Pete Hegseth]

In those moments when we needed support in the region, that Qatar was there without a doubt, without a blink. And that has.

[Mark Levin]

How do we know what that means?

[Steve Deace]

I remember Midnight Hammer. Did Qatar play some fantastic role? I believe they'd allowed us to use their airspace. They didn't really have any choice, did they?

[Mark Levin]

I'll tell you what else I'm sick and tired of. Qatar is put on a pedestal. Praise Qatar and Qatar and Qatar and Qatar. Saudi Arabia, which was smack in the middle of 911 and the slaughter of 3,000 of our citizens. Saudi Arabia, thank you. Saudi Arabia, thank you. Qatar, thank you, thank you, thank you all. But we had a pressure, you know, Israel, Israel was recalcitrant. You know, they just want war. They don't know when to stop. And that Netanyahu, he's the worst of the bunch, you know, he actually wants to protect his people and his country.

[Steve Deace]

Go ahead.

[Pete Hegseth]

Had the opportunity to see that firsthand operationally. I want to thank you, I want to thank your country for that, for hosting our troops. And it's wonderful to welcome you to the Pentagon.

[Steve Deace]

Yes, thank you so much. What would we do without Qatar, ladies and gentlemen? What would we do without Qatar? They're so essential to everything we do. Now they have a base and over at Axios, which hates Israel, has a self hating Israeli by the name of Barack Ravid, who basically is a scribe for whichever administration is in power. This is not a big deal. No, no, no, it's not a big deal. The building is going to be overseen by the United States. The training overseen by the United States. Excuse me. This shouldn't be in the United States. I've never seen anything like this.

[Mark Levin]

And I guess the senators and congressmen.

[Steve Deace]

Are going to sit on their asses and just watch all this happen, right? Especially the Republicans. Probably half of them have bought off, too. I'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

Mud love in.

[Steve Deace]

Folks.

[Mark Levin]

I have a question for you. Do you believe America's best days are still ahead? With the 250th anniversary of the signing.

[Steve Deace]

Of the Declaration of Independence coming up.

[Mark Levin]

In less than a year? My friends at the Heritage foundation are taking stock of the current situation, and they need your input. They've launched a survey on America's future to get how Americans feel right now about where we are as a nation and where we're headed in the next 250 years. You know, for decades, your American values have been under attack. But now, with President Trump's administration in office, we have an opportunity to turn the tide and usher in a new golden age for America. But the Heritage foundation needs to hear from you. What policies do patriots like you most care about? What do you believe are the defining principles of America? What legacy do you believe we should pass on to the next Generation? Please visit heritage.orglevin today and share your feedback and help shape the future of America. That's heritage.org L E V I N paid for by the Heritage Foundation. Tomorrow night on Life, Liberty and Levin.

[Steve Deace]

We have Ambassador Leiter from Israel. And we have Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. And Sunday with Peter Schweitzer, who's got a massive expose. Imam Donnie and his links to Qatar. And Eric Trump has got a fascinating new book out about his family and everything they went through. And, of course, both of my opening statements. I got a text yesterday. Not sure how the folks got my number, but it's perfectly fine by me. From the office of the speaker of the Knesset in Israel, inviting me to come to Israel and watch our president speak. As you know, he's speaking to the Knesset.

[Mark Levin]

I didn't get an invitation from our government.

[Steve Deace]

I get an invitation from their government. Obviously, I can't go. Would have been fascinating to me, but time just doesn't allow it. But isn't that ironic, Mr. Producer? The Israeli government invites me, but the United States government does not. Incredible.

[Mark Levin]

I think my views on Qatar.

[Steve Deace]

And some of these other Arab countries and Islamism.

[Mark Levin]

Are considered controversial.

[Steve Deace]

There's not a damn thing controversial about what I'm saying. It's the truth. And if not, if I'm not here to tell you the truth, who the hell will be? That's the truth. And some of this is very troubling to me. I See it on the left with the Democrats and their embrace of Islamism and Marxism. We've talked, what's it been now, eight.

[Producer/Announcer]

Months.

[Steve Deace]

About the Katarlsons and the Owens and the Pardon me Bannons and all the rest of them who certainly appear to embrace more Islamism than Americanism and Christianity and Judaism, who are conspiracy nuts, by the way. I want to thank other conservatives for beginning to stand up, for beginning to speak out. It's very, very important, very, very important. There are more and more of us do it and you folks too, because these Neanderthal self appointed influencers and podcasters.

[Mark Levin]

He seem to be pushing Sharia law.

[Steve Deace]

At least Kataltson does.

[Mark Levin]

See, there's the whole thing. There's a lot going on here which we just don't know enough about.

[Steve Deace]

And I consider it detrimental. Detrimental.

[Mark Levin]

And I'm not going to be quiet about it, no matter what. I don't want people calling me. I don't want texts. I don't want to be lobbied. I don't want any of that crap, period.

[Steve Deace]

None of it. I really don't.

[Mark Levin]

This phase two of the Trump peace.

[Steve Deace]

Deal is going to be crucial.

[Mark Levin]

What is it? I've gone through the 20 points with you. I've gone through the 20 points very.

[Steve Deace]

Carefully with other people.

[Mark Levin]

That's a work in progress. But it's going to be very important to see how Hamas is disarmed. And what does that mean? Disarm one day and arm the next. But that'll be very interesting to know. Where are they going to go? I want to know. I guess we're going to find out. The demilitarization of Gaza, that is going to be very interesting to see how that is pulled off. We can't even demilitarize Chicago, Mr. Producer, but this will be very interesting.

[Steve Deace]

It is important.

[Mark Levin]

And story after story about pressure on the Israelis, pressure on Netanyahu, get it done, get it done, get it done. And how the great Qataris with their good friends the Turks eradicate who's destroyed that democracy, who destroyed what Ataturk had built a fantastic country who's an Islamist, who's a killer, working very hard to pressure Hamas. They created the funding for Hamas. They gave and still do Hamas leaders safe haven't.

[Steve Deace]

Crazy, is it not? Yeah, it's crazy.

[Mark Levin]

And so whether I'm the only one.

[Steve Deace]

Or one of a few, a handful, I will continue to call. I will continue to call these things out. Let the chips fall where they may. The Democrat Party is gone. It is a Marxist Islamist party. It hates the country. It hates the Constitution. It hates you, the citizenry, which is why the border is open. It embraces the Islamists. It embraces the illegal aliens, criminals or not, in terms of additional crime.

[Mark Levin]

So we're left defending the Republican Party.

[Steve Deace]

And the conservative movement.

[Mark Levin]

We're left defending what's left. Because once that's gone, the country's gone. Once that's gone, the country's gone. I'll be right back. We're coming upon the 250th birthday of the United States. And it has me thinking, what will.

[Steve Deace]

America look like 250 years from now?

[Mark Levin]

My friends at the Heritage foundation want to know what you think. What policies should America prioritize? What principles should carry us into the decades ahead as America enters a new golden age? Heritage recognizes that this is the time to take stock and to be intentional about how we shape the future of America. And they can't do it without your input. So please go to heritage.org Levin and let them know what you think is important. Without patriots like you stepping up and speaking up for what you believe in, America as we know it can't survive for another 250 years. Please go to heritage.org Levin heritage.org Levin take the survey on America's future. This survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete, but it is critical for making sure that the America we pass on to future generations is an America we're proud of. Go to heritage.org, today. That's heritage.org L E V I N paid for by the Heritage foundation, where.

[Steve Deace]

I wish I'd known about this Qatar base earlier today. I would have dealt with him on my two shows Saturday and Sunday with my guests. That as it is Peter Schweitzer even before we knew this just Evitz rates Mandamin part of the reasons for it his close connections to Qatar.

[Mark Levin]

Do we oppose Mandami? America, Mr. And Mrs. America, patriots all.

[Steve Deace]

In my audience, we oppose Mandami, do we not?

[Mark Levin]

So why does Qatar support him? Why is Al Jazeera putting out stuff.

[Steve Deace]

In support of him?

[Mark Levin]

State run Qatari media. Why was his mother, why did she received a fortune from the Qataris to.

[Steve Deace]

Produce these, these films that she produced?

[Mark Levin]

I mean you can't have it both ways. He's a. Mandami is dangerous for America. And if he's dangerous for America, what the hell is Qatar? Look at our universities and colleges. We've spent a long time, you and me, going through the data, going through the details. The billions of dollars in money destroying our Ivy League schools, creating violent mobs. The Hitler Youth. The river to the sea crowd. The burning of the American flag. They're burning the American flag more than they're burning the Israeli flag. They're carrying the Hamas flag. They're carrying the Islamic Jihad flag. They're carrying the Muslim Brotherhood flag. Right there in our own country, in our own cities, and by the way, in London and in Paris and everywhere else. You've seen it.

[Producer/Announcer]

It.

[Mark Levin]

I've seen it. We can't talk out of both sides of our mouths.

[Steve Deace]

We can't turn the other cheek, not to this, this ideology.

[Mark Levin]

I mean, for God's sakes, for God's.

[Steve Deace]

Sakes.

[Mark Levin]

The head terrorist behind 9 11, was there a guy? Was there a guy? I see from time to time they, they have one of their mouthpieces questioned by, by anchors.

[Steve Deace]

And so they don't even ask them about that.

[Mark Levin]

I'm sure they'd say it's Mossad. Like that jackass Kitarlson. It's the Jews did it. The Jews. We know who did it. We know who did it. You know, we talk about, how could.

[Steve Deace]

You reward Hamas with a Palestinian state? How could you award Hamas with a Palestinian state? Okay, how could you award Qatar with.

[Mark Levin]

An air base in the middle of the United States?

[Steve Deace]

Given their role in 9 11.

[Mark Levin]

It should be very personal. I wonder where the 911 families are on this.

[Steve Deace]

I don't hear them speaking out as an organized group. I think they should be pretty shocked by this. No, we have free speech for a reason, America. Free speech for a reason. Don't self censor. We've got lunatics with microphones and cameras in their face putting out videos. Lunatics who hate our country. Fake maga, Neanderthal isolationists who are on their own jihad against Jews. Many of us wonder where they're getting their money from. Some of us know where some of them got their money from. This is poison. This is a metastasizing cancer in this country. It truly is. Many of the people in the streets who are violent, who are burning the American flags.

[Mark Levin]

We say we want to protect the American flag.

[Steve Deace]

No. That we want to control this violence, that we want to look at the money trails.

[Mark Levin]

Okay, well, Qatar is one of them, is it not? Now, I've had report after report after report I've shown you. These are independent analyses by serious, serious.

[Steve Deace]

Organizations, American organizations based right here in.

[Mark Levin]

Our country, warning about what's taking place. And I'm sure the money's still flowing in every direction, including in our own country, corrupting our institutions.

[Steve Deace]

I have spent. Good God, broadcast hours, so many broadcast hours on this, on Blaze, on Fox.

[Mark Levin]

Behind this microphone I can't even keep track of.

[Steve Deace]

Doesn't seem to matter, but one day it will. And when you hear some of these.

[Mark Levin]

Jackasses in the media who claim to.

[Steve Deace]

Be one of us when we're hit.

[Mark Levin]

Again, saying, I warned you, I warned you.

[Steve Deace]

They haven't said a damn thing. They're gutless. Who's warned you about open borders? Of course. That's an easy one. What about Qatar? Hmm?

[Mark Levin]

Ask them. Ask them.

[Steve Deace]

What about Saudi Arabia?

[Mark Levin]

Ask them. Why not?

[Steve Deace]

It's just weird. You're very, you know, very hopeful.

[Mark Levin]

This plan gonna get the hostages home.

[Steve Deace]

Hopefully the battle of Gaza, as I call it, you'll see it come to an end. We're all waiting for phase two to see how that's going to be implemented. What's going to happen? How is this literally going to be done?

[Mark Levin]

Very important.

[Steve Deace]

It's not going to involve Hezbollah, it's.

[Mark Levin]

Not going to involve the Houthis, it's not going to involve Iran, it's not.

[Steve Deace]

Going to involve the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic.

[Mark Levin]

Jihad, Al Qaeda, isis, and so forth. So this enemy is not going away. This is a massive event that's taking place. The Trump peace plan, don't get me wrong, but we are not disbanding or defunding our counterintelligence infrastructure. In fact, we're muscling it up.

[Steve Deace]

Why? Because we know we could be attacked again. That's why we're not eliminating our four bases. We're not eliminating our special forces. We're not shutting down our intelligence gathering activities because we know this enemy will strike us if it can. Right?

[Mark Levin]

We know this.

[Steve Deace]

Right? No one's going to be more excited than you and me watching these hostages be released. Except, of course, the families for Grant.

[Producer/Announcer]

A lot.

[Steve Deace]

Nobody's going to be more excited about, if possible, the end of the. The idf, those young guys and gals putting their lives on the line. I love it when people say this war has gone on long enough. Like, we have men and women on the ground. We don't have anybody there. Neither does Europe. The Israelis are fighting themselves for their survival and they did a damn good job. For which they get almost no credit. They defeated Iran in 12 hours. Thank God. We took out their nuclear sites. They surrounded Hamas, they took out Hezbollah.

[Mark Levin]

They're left with fighting the Houthis. They've got the Palestinian terrorists in Judea and Samaria that they still have to deal with. Those people, that country, their young people.

[Steve Deace]

Not ours.

[Mark Levin]

Not Europe's, not those Arab countries who get all the praise.

[Steve Deace]

No, not at all. Thank God Donald Trump is and was president to provide the Israelis with the weapons they had purchased as well as the ammunition. They didn't ask for any troops. They haven't asked for any bases in the United States either. They don't have an agreement with the United States that we will use the full force of the United States military to protect them if they're attacked. Only Qatar has that. And by the way, not that they should. Not that any country should, as a matter of fact. Yeah, well, I bring these unpleasantries to your attention.

[Mark Levin]

You know, I was in a good.

[Steve Deace]

Mood until the space thing happened, Mr. Producer. Could you tell I was in a great mood.

[Mark Levin]

I'd been in a very good mood then. I watched the Secretary War sitting with.

[Steve Deace]

The Qatari Emory, or whatever the hell it is, where we're slobbering all over them, thanking them. Thank you. Oh, my God, thank you.

[Mark Levin]

Thank you.

[Steve Deace]

We've never seen any. Our partnership is unbelievable, you know, just fantastic. And now we're gonna have combined military training on F15s, we're gonna train your pilots, and we're gonna allow you to build, with our oversight. $12 billion, I read. That's right. An Air Force facility, a Qatari Emory Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho. So congratulations, Idaho. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Folks, I have a question for you.

[Steve Deace]

Do you believe America's best days are still ahead?

[Mark Levin]

With the 250th anniversary of the signing.

[Steve Deace]

Of the Declaration of Independence coming up.

[Mark Levin]

In less than a year, my friends at the Heritage foundation are taking stock of the current situation, and they need your input. They've launched a survey on America's future to gauge how Americans feel right now about where we are as a nation and where we're headed in the next 250 years. You know, for decades, your American values have been under attack. But now, with President Trump's administration in office, we have an opportunity to turn the tide and usher in a new golden age for America. But the Heritage foundation needs to hear from you. What policies do patriots like you most care about? What do you believe are the defining principles of America? What legacy do you believe we should pass on to the next Generation? Please visit heritage.orglevin today and share your feedback and help shape the future of America. That's heritage.org Levin. Paid for by the Heritage Foundation.

[Steve Deace]

If you just sit there, events will determine your fate. I'm not one who likes that myself.

[Mark Levin]

I don't like it at all.

[Steve Deace]

You're going to hear this weekend from Peter Schweitzer, one of the great, true investigative journalists. This guy's information is absolutely bulletproof. You know him well. He and I are very good friends. And we are going to discuss Mandami and his connections to Qatar and their connections to the mastermind of 911 who now will have a base built in Idaho in addition to us pledging the.

[Mark Levin]

Full power of every service of the.

[Steve Deace]

United States military to their defense. Well, I'm going to tell you something. My grandkids are never fighting for Qatar. I'll tell you that right now. If I have to go to prison, I don't give a damn. They're not fighting for Qatar under any circumstances, period. Qatar doesn't represent anything I believe in, that's for sure. And they're not alone.

[Mark Levin]

Have they sworn off terrorism? I haven't heard it. Have they sworn off spending billions in our country to Bush Islamism, violent Islamism? Not that I've heard. Have they apologized so important that they're apologized to? Did they apologize for 9 11? Not that I've heard. Did they apologize for October 7th? Not that I've heard. Have they expelled the Hamas leadership from Qatar? Not that I've heard.

[Steve Deace]

But they're fantastic partners, don't worry about it. Fantastic. We've never seen anything like it. And so we're doing something with and for Qatar that we've never done in our history. Not with Britain or France, not with Israel.

[Mark Levin]

Think of any ally you can.

[Steve Deace]

Building an air base training center for their pilots in our own country. Shocking to me.

[Mark Levin]

What's next? Is Turkey getting F35s?

[Steve Deace]

This, this. I'm curious about one of our best fighters, if not the best, the F35 Turkey's been dying to get them. Turkey, Another Islamist genocidal country. I don't mind us working with these countries if we have to, trying to get them to unite to fight a common enemy. I'm all for that. But I'm not for arming them to the teeth when they have not forsworn their ideology, which affects you and me. I don't know what else has to happen.

[Mark Levin]

Now.

[Steve Deace]

Mark my words, right now, right here, when we are hit again, we will be hit again. Those are the odds.

[Mark Levin]

And when these so called conservative podcasters, broadcasters, whatever, start beating their chests, pounding the desk about how they warned and Warned and warned. Where are they tonight?

[Steve Deace]

Where are they?

[Mark Levin]

They're nowhere. And when this happens, what about the Islamists, the Neanderthal isolationists who might as well be Islamists, who are now promoting Sharia law over the Constitution? Right, Kit Tarlson. Yes. What will we say about them? I told you so's not good enough. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're going to speak out, you need to speak out right now. I'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here now. Broadcasting him from the underground command post deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Well, I want to congratulate my Philadelphia Eagles.

[Steve Deace]

The Birds look like turds. It was disgusting.

[Mark Levin]

Disgusting. And they could either look like they.

[Steve Deace]

Looked last year, which was phenomenal, or the year before. They're not even looking like they did.

[Mark Levin]

The year before, where they had, like.

[Steve Deace]

Eight wins and then they fell off the table. Now they're four and two. They lost to one of the worst teams in football, the New York Giants. But I got to say, this young.

[Mark Levin]

Guy, this quarterback, looked pretty damn good.

[Steve Deace]

Now, I don't know if it's because the Eagles made him look good or if he's that good, and during the course of the season, we'll see. But if he's that good, then the Giants have a. Have an excellent quarterback. But that said, I don't know what the hell is wrong with the Eagles. How many more great players do they need? The defense looked horrific. Our quarterback running around there like a chicken without a head. Painful.

[Mark Levin]

That's right, brother.

[Steve Deace]

Stephen, if you're listening, it was painful. It was ugly. Then the Phillies. I got to be honest with you, folks.

[Mark Levin]

I watched the end of that game.

[Steve Deace]

I felt bad for the pitcher. I really felt bad. The guy's 24 years old, made a truly stupid mistake. He choked. He could have lobbed the ball to first base in the inning for the Dodgers, but he throws it to home. The guy was already there. It's. It's a hard thing for a season to come down to that, but it happens, I suppose. I suppose. Okay. Abigail Spanberger is a nothing burger, and.

[Mark Levin]

She refuses to simply say, I do not endorse the candidate for Attorney general.

[Steve Deace]

On my party, who has said and.

[Mark Levin]

Texted some of the most horrific things I've ever read. Quite frankly, I don't think this guy could get a gun permit in New.

[Steve Deace]

In. In Virginia, Mr. Producer, with the things that he texted.

[Mark Levin]

What do they call them, the red.

[Steve Deace]

Line laws or whatever the hell it is.

[Mark Levin]

You'd probably have to report him.

[Steve Deace]

Whoa.

[Mark Levin]

Did you see these texts? Yeah, you better report this guy. So he's running to be the top prosecutor in the state. And the Democrats have circled the wagons, including this jackass, Tim Kaine. Tim Kaine and marble mouth, mumble mouth. Mark Warner. Yes, him. But Spamberger is running for governor. And she won't denounce him. She'll denounce what he did, but she won't denounce him. See, this is the deal. Republicans would cut the losses. They cut this guy loose if he were Republican, not Democrats. They fight to the last miscreant and malcontent. Now, this guy's a psycho. In my view, he's dangerous. And can you imagine what he'll do as Attorney general, given what he wrote when he didn't think the world would. You know, the vast majority of the.

[Steve Deace]

Television news networks haven't even covered this.

[Mark Levin]

Covered what? And you have. Winston Earl Sears.

[Steve Deace]

A Marine lieutenant governor, an accomplished businesswoman.

[Mark Levin]

You may have noticed, woman, African American, running for governor. Now, usually for the media, that would be enough. They'd be touting her, promoting her. Not her. No. Why? She's a conservative. She has to be trashed. But she's run a good campaign.

[Steve Deace]

Whatever.

[Mark Levin]

Turns out she's run a good campaign. She's a very good person, and she'd be an excellent governor. And she put it to this Span Burger last night, but even the moderator put it to her. The problem is these kinds of debates, most people aren't watching. They're watching the baseball, they're watching the football. Same in New Jersey, where the Democrat had her ass kicked. From South Jersey to. To the shores of Iwo Jima.

[Steve Deace]

Oh, you know what I mean?

[Mark Levin]

To Bergen County.

[Steve Deace]

How's that?

[Mark Levin]

Anyway, let's take a listen. Okay, cut 18.

[Steve Deace]

Go.

[Candidate/Guest]

I didn't hear an answer there on the endorsement issue, so I want to just make sure. Will you continue to endorse Jay Jones to be the next Attorney General of Virginia? And were you aware of these text messages before they released? You have 30 seconds. In fact, it appears that it was the those who released the text messages and held them for Years. So the public was unaware who had knowledge of these text messages for many text messages the day that they came out and I denounced them as soon as I learned of them. She denounces murder. Importantly at this point, point as we move forward, the voters now have this information.

[Mark Levin]

Information that was, see, they got all.

[Steve Deace]

This, this stuff pat down. And what Sears is saying is, well, when you found out about it, it's not about the voters knowing about it. They know about you. You're not, you're not withdrawing your support for a man who talked about putting two bullets into a retiring Republican speaker of the state assembly, wanting to watch his two children, the age of 2 and 5, die in their mother's arms.

[Mark Levin]

And it goes on beyond that. It's sick. They got. Whose mind works like this that this guy should be killed. More, more dangerous than Pol Pot, more dangerous than Mao. More. Dan, he's, he is, he's a psychopath. And the Democrats are all farm. Tim Kaine well, that's not, that's not the Jones that I know says, Mr. You get your rights from the government.

[Steve Deace]

Go ahead.

[Candidate/Guest]

You're running presumably for reasons, but the voters now have the information and it is up to voters to make an individual choice.

[Mark Levin]

Based voters in Virginia have your information about her. She's a gutless one. She's actually a leftist activist.

[Steve Deace]

I believe she worked at the CIA. So what? She's a leftist activist. She's pretended to be a moderate her whole time. She's a ton of money. Every time she runs for office.

[Mark Levin]

You've seen her ilk, you've seen her.

[Steve Deace]

Like, and that's what she is. Go ahead.

[Candidate/Guest]

Ms. Member, I understand what you're saying about the voters, but for you yourself, do you still continue to endorse Jay Jones? 15 seconds, yes or no? I. We are all running our individual races. I believe my opponent has said that about her lieutenant governor nominee and in every person to make their own decision. I am running my race to serve Virginia and that is what I intend to do. Thank you. Ms. Spamberger, we just want to clarify, you know, what you're saying is that as of now, you still endorse Jay Jones as Attorney General. I'm saying as of now, it's up to every voter to make their own individual decision. I am running for governor. I am accountable for the words that I say, for the acts that I take, for the policies that I have put out. Thank you. I am responsible for the policies I put out and the work I will endeavor to do tirelessly for the People of Governor Virginia.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

Mm.

[Steve Deace]

There you go. Isn't that something?

[Mark Levin]

America. Oh, she's the best. She's the best, this spamber. Oh, moderate centrist. No, she's not. She also has no problem with boys and women's sports. When that comes up, she says, I don't want to talk about that. Let's move on to real subjects. Whether she'd work with ICE to remove violent illegal aliens. Let's move along. I don't want to get into that. She really hopes to slide through. And with the Washington compost and with the rest of the left wing media.

[Steve Deace]

Throughout the state, she may. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Our society works because of the freedoms.

[Steve Deace]

Guaranteed by the First Amendment.

[Mark Levin]

Every day, Americans should be able to.

[Steve Deace]

Speak openly and honestly about family and traditional values without retribution from the government.

[Mark Levin]

[Steve Deace]

In New York City.

[Mark Levin]

90 miles off.

[Steve Deace]

Of Key West, Florida, is a little island nation called Cuber, as the Stalinist senator from the county of Vermont likes to put it.

[Mark Levin]

And it is a perfect experiment in Marxism.

[Steve Deace]

Perfect. Why destroy your own city?

[Mark Levin]

And here we have from our friends at Breitbart. You know, the Breitbart website is a.

[Steve Deace]

Fantastic website and it got especially fantastic after that fat slob Bannon left. You know that, Mr. Medusa? Oh, yeah. Under Alex Marlowe and the team, they have done a fantastic job. Fantastic.

[Mark Levin]

Cubans protest in Havana after months of blackouts, food and water shortages. Now, ladies and gentlemen, food and water is supposed to be free in Cuba. Energy, electricity supposed to be free in Cuba and it is. Problem is they just don't have any Cuban citizens. Mariano Havana peacefully protested this week and.

[Steve Deace]

By the way, that means they put their lives on the line.

[Mark Levin]

Did announce blackouts, hunger neglect under the communist regime, defying recent threats by figurehead president Miguel Diaz Canel against dissidents.

[Steve Deace]

Against dissonance. September marked the month with the most protests in Cuba in 2025 so far, according to the Cuban Observatory for Human Rights, a non governmental organization.

[Mark Levin]

OCDH documented 1,121 known protests in September.

[Steve Deace]

Almost 100 protests more.

[Mark Levin]

And were documented in August. The organization further reported that it documented.

[Steve Deace]

323 incidents which the protester challenged the.

[Mark Levin]

Cuber state police officers bold enough to provoke a repressive reaction, of course, including instances of pot banging, street blockades and.

[Steve Deace]

Heated discussions with the officer.

[Mark Levin]

Anger over endless blackouts and the increasingly critical lack of running water. Actually, that sounds a lot like California.

[Steve Deace]

Under Newscomb, doesn't it Mr. Producer?

[Mark Levin]

Led to hundreds of complaints about public.

[Steve Deace]

Services which I'm sure were immediately responded to.

[Mark Levin]

And repression intensified once again because you see America, that's how it works. We don't have any clean running water. All right? You get 30 years.

[Steve Deace]

That's right.

[Mark Levin]

Repression intensified once again against political prisoners.

[Steve Deace]

Opponents, activists, members of civil society in general.

[Mark Levin]

Reports of public insecurity saw an alarming doubling in the number of deaths, disappearances. Hey, our democrat left wing friends. Now this guy knows how to disappear people in Cuba, your favorite country. Violence and crime. Following several days of continuous blackouts and worsening running water shortages, Cubans in central Havana organized a Protestant reportedly by blocking.

[Steve Deace]

Roads and chanting freedom and other slogans.

[Mark Levin]

This will be New York City in.

[Steve Deace]

About three years if the Marxist Islamist America hating Jew hater becomes the mayor.

[Mark Levin]

Except the difference will be this is a whole country Cuba. These people will move, you know, they'll, they'll go to another state, they'll vote for this slob, they'll vote for this pig. Then having destroyed the city, they'll leave as many of them are relatively wealthy.

[Steve Deace]

Oh yeah, let's see here. Cuban citizens condemned the phony president's threats.

[Mark Levin]

Reportedly describing him as out of place.

[Steve Deace]

In a form of population control. And it goes on. These people are starving.

[Mark Levin]

They can't get clean water.

[Steve Deace]

They have a pot to pissing, as they used to say.

[Mark Levin]

And, but hey, everybody's equal. There's no billionaires, Everything is free. Health care, can't get it. Toilet paper, can't get it. Food can't get it clean water. Can't get. But it's all free. It's okay. And there's no billionaires, so it's all really cool. Except of course, the Politburo, the chairman at the party, they're very wealthy.

[Steve Deace]

Ask Maduro in Venezuela. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You're going to learn a lot about Mandami on Sunday. You're going to also learn a lot about this peace deal on Saturday. I'm telling you, two great shows. I hope you'll. You know What? Set your DVRs. I'll tell you what, There's a lot of football, there's a lot of baseball. Plus you have a life to live, so you don't know if It'll bleed over. 8:00pm Eastern. Always set your DVR. May I suggest that it's not like.

[Mark Levin]

It costs money or anything.

[Steve Deace]

Just set your DVR. 8pm Eastern time on Saturday, Fox. 8pm Eastern Time on Sunday. Fox. Two great shows. I'm very excited about them. I really want you to see them.

[Mark Levin]

President Trump threatens massive tariff hike on.

[Steve Deace]

China over rare earths dispute.

[Mark Levin]

Now, but who has been telling you here for well over a decade, two.

[Steve Deace]

Decades, that China is the enemy, that it's only a matter of time till they pull the trigger. It could be a military trigger, an economic trigger. And now they're blackmailing us. That's right. Xi. Xi is blackmailing us with rare earth minerals.

[Mark Levin]

President Trump threatened to slap a massive increase of tariffs 100% on China.

[Steve Deace]

He just did it.

[Mark Levin]

He cited export controls that China imposed.

[Steve Deace]

On rare earths from his country.

[Mark Levin]

He also threatened to cancel his upcoming.

[Steve Deace]

Meeting with Xi, which he just did. Let's see.

[Mark Levin]

Also threatening a social media post.

[Steve Deace]

Well, he did that.

[Mark Levin]

Stock markets dropped after Trump's bellicose.

[Steve Deace]

Who wrote this?

[Mark Levin]

Cnbc. Anything with NBC? Cnbc, msnbc, NBC.

[Steve Deace]

It's all crap. Bellicose.

[Mark Levin]

In other words, passionate truth social post.

[Steve Deace]

About China in which he said that there's no way that country should be allowed to hold the world captive with its rare earths policy. China controls about 70% of the global supply of rare earth minerals which are critical for high tech industries including automobiles, defense and semiconductors.

[Mark Levin]

This is exactly why we should do.

[Steve Deace]

More to support Ukraine against China's buddy.

[Mark Levin]

Putin, the mass murder.

[Steve Deace]

The genocidal maniac. Ukraine has already capitulated in many ways.

[Mark Levin]

Under pressure from us to give us access to the rare earth minerals. We ought to really kick into gear there.

[Steve Deace]

We should be very focused on that.

[Mark Levin]

I have an idea. Rather than build the base for Qatar Why don't we go ahead in Ukraine, Mr. Producer and do more mining for rare earth minerals for us. I kind of like that trade off America. China's Ministry of Commerce on Thursday said the foreign entities must now obtain a.

[Steve Deace]

License to export products that contain more.

[Mark Levin]

Than 0.1% of rare earths source from that kind.

[Steve Deace]

In other words, everything.

[Mark Levin]

Everything.

[Steve Deace]

Now here's the deal. Let me see if I can find that article that I, that I put aside about communist China. Do you know what their weakness is? America? Their financial system is paper thin. Now what would Reagan do? Well, what did Reagan do to the Soviet Union? He collapsed it.

[Mark Levin]

How did he collapse it?

[Steve Deace]

Financially?

[Mark Levin]

He collapsed it. Peace through strength.

[Steve Deace]

That was originally a Reagan doctrine phrase. It's a Trump doctrine phrase because both.

[Mark Levin]

Very, very smart when it.

[Steve Deace]

By the way, I heard some host who should know better.

[Mark Levin]

Listing the prior.

[Steve Deace]

Presidents saying what have they ever done? Let's see, what did they ever do? Defeated the Soviet Union. Well there is that, you know, there is that one.

[Mark Levin]

But anyway, as of late 2025, meaning.

[Steve Deace]

Right now we hold significant, many significant financial strengths over communist China. We have a more resilient and dynamic economy. We have more global dominance with the US dollar.

[Mark Levin]

Deeper, more attractive financial markets.

[Steve Deace]

China faces vulnerabilities. They have very, very high levels of debt.

[Mark Levin]

Their property sector is on its back because they overbuilt.

[Steve Deace]

You know that's what happens when you have industrialized command economy, centralized government.

[Mark Levin]

But their property sector is really dead.

[Steve Deace]

They have a financial system that is not as appealing to international.

[Mark Levin]

Now our dollar is still used as.

[Steve Deace]

The reserve currency for 80% of the globe. And we have resilience and flexibility. We have stronger innovation systems in our country.

[Mark Levin]

They have to steal them from us.

[Steve Deace]

We have deeper financial markets.

[Mark Levin]

We have better strategic economic alliances. They have massively high debt levels. It reached 292% of the gross domestic product in 2024.

[Steve Deace]

So they're, they're drowning in debt.

[Mark Levin]

Their markets are shallow, they lack appealing assets. Their property sector is in crisis. Their consumption is down. I mean we have many opportunities to break the back financially of China. Our society works because of the freedoms.

[Steve Deace]

Guaranteed by the First Amendment.

[Mark Levin]

Every day Americans should be able to.

[Steve Deace]

Speak openly and honestly about family and traditional values without retribution from the government.

[Steve Deace]

Notice America, like with Charlie Kirk, a.

[Mark Levin]

Lot of people like to put words.

[Steve Deace]

In Rush Limbaugh's mouth or they post what he said. Some years ago, Rush Limbaugh and I were best, best friends for a long time and we spent a lot of time talking and texting and emailing about everything, everything. And when I used to send him legal stuff and constitutional stuff, he jokingly named me the director of his legal division, F. Lee Levin. Now there's never going to be another Rush Limbaugh. He was smart, he was wise, he was quick, he was funny. He was substantive, very quick. He loved Israel. He loved Netanyahu. He defended Israel, Netanyahu on his radio program repeatedly. He went to Israel several times. He talked about his trips to Israel. He talked about when he was in a helicopter. You saw the Golan Heights when he walked through Jerusalem, the great Rush Limbaugh. And now we, we have people like Katarlson and Owens and frauds and phonies galore. We even have leading Republicans in government who celebrate Qatar, Qatar, our great partner, Qatar. And they forget to mention Netanyahu. In Israel.

[Mark Levin]

We see leaks to Axios.

[Steve Deace]

The Barak Ravid who hates Netanyahu was.

[Mark Levin]

A mouthpiece for Biden.

[Steve Deace]

Now he's a mouthpiece for anonymous leaks in this government is a self hating Israeli. And we see these leaks in other and other media outlets. Rush would be disgusted by it. He'd be appalled by it. He'd spend a lot of time talking about it. He never liked Tucker Carlson. Never. And he was right. I can only imagine what he'd say about Owens and the rest of them. But just so you know, those of you who used to listen to him, you do know it's a reminder about where he stood. There's no way in hell he would support or defend any country, let alone Qatar having a base in the United States of America. No way. And he would do exactly what I'm doing. He would stand up, speak out about 9, 11. He would stand up, speak out about October 7th. That's why you loved him, because he wasn't afraid to say what needed to be said. I don't expect and I don't try to walk in his footsteps. I have my own footsteps. So what he told me one time, he said, you know what's great about you? At 6pm Eastern, I said, what people haven't heard from you yet? Said they've heard me, they've heard Shawn, and now they get to hear you. In fact, when the wonderful Rush was on radio in many cities, we had what they called killer's row. It would be Rush, Hannity, and then me, nine. Late at night, late at night, we would text. When he lost his hearing, we would text, text a lot. He was so proud of these books that I wrote. He did a Ford for my first book, Men in Black. He promoted them all, he read them all. He was encouraging, he was supportive. That's what he was. Red blooded American who loved this country. Sorry, folks, sorry. I hit a button. I think what I'm going to do, there's a four minute clip. I haven't listened to the whole thing. You just heard me accidentally turn on a little piece of it where he takes on a guy who's attacking Bibi Netanyahu. Bibi Netanyahu is under vicious attack by the likes of, pardon me, Bannon, a confessed felon who ripped off little old ladies. Micah Tarlson, who's associated with the worst lowlifes in the world, by Owens.

[Producer/Announcer]

Who.

[Steve Deace]

Yearns for the Third Reich. He'd be disgusted by all of them, just as I am. He'd also be very concerned that there.

[Mark Levin]

Aren'T many.

[Steve Deace]

Conservative talk show hosts or conservatives generally who are speaking out loudly and condemning this, because he would know that these people are effectively destroying constitutional conservatism. He would know that they're effectively destroying MAGA and dividing it. He would know these things. He would know that some of these people yearn for attention by the view by the New York Times as they turn on you and me. He would know all these things and he'd push back. He's desperately missed by me as a friend for sure, but by the country. We all do our best in his stead. People talk about Joe Rogan Joe Rogan couldn't hold a candle to Rush Limbaugh. There's absolutely no substance there. They talk about to Carlson. Takarlson is a vile, poisonous cancer on the body. Politicians. Look, I've been with the greatest. But Bob Grant in New York, another one of the greatest broadcasters of all time. They weren't great broadcasters because of their voices. They weren't great broadcasters because they were comedians. They were great broadcasters because of their substance. You wanted to hear what they had to say. And as Rush would say, he said that he reinforces your values, your beliefs, your principles. He reinforces them. He doesn't want you to be embarrassed about them. He wants you to be proud of them. I feel exactly the same way. Exactly the same way. And I try and use this platform, I try and use my Blaze platform, my Fox platform, to do exactly that. Not paint by the numbers, but to dig deeply, be substantive and provide arguments against what is truly the gathering of dark clouds over this country. There's no way in hell Qatar should have a base in the United States of America. No, no way. No explanation. I don't want to hear it from anybody. No way. There's no way that Marxists and Islamists should be roaming through our colleges and universities, threatening people, harming people. No way. There's no way. And yet that's exactly what's taking place. No wonder they tried to get rid of him and throw him off the air. No wonder you talk about a following. He used to joke that he had 48 million followers. Magazines would say at 20 million, here's the truth. Nobody knows, but it was a lot because of the different formats. Nobody really knows how many listeners I have, but it is a lot because of all the even newer formats, platforms, so many, there's no way to count them all. Not so with podcast. You can get right down to the. To the person sitting down at breakfast eating scrambled eggs. Not true with the other platforms. So what I'm going to do. Mr. Producers, I'm going to break early. I'm going to send you this video so we can play the audio. I have not heard more than one minute of it, but I, I think it's going to be very, very interesting. We'll be right back.

[Steve Deace]

March 18, 2015, 10 years ago.

[Mark Levin]

Go.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

And we start on the phones with with rami in Washington, D.C. great to have you on the program, sir. You're up first today. Hello.

[Caller]

Hey, how are you doing?

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

I'm very well, thank you.

[Caller]

I was intrigued to call you because I heard you say that Netanyahu wanted wants peace even though he stated that there would never be a Palestinian state and then had a semi racist rant towards the arabs inside the Israel 48. I was just curious. First of all, how could you say that he wants peace when he obviously does not want peace, including continuing building settlement.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

I must have a different definition of peace than you do. What is your definition of peace?

[Caller]

My definition of peace is finding middle ground where everyone can live happily ever after, basically, in my opinion.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

Can you tell me where on earth.

[Caller]

Does that exist here in the United States? You know, I think there's a great mix of people all around and you know, you can live with all the different kinds of people and it's peace. And you know, I think there's an important.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

Well, I don't even agree with that.

[Caller]

People under Judaism, they are not.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

I can go to Ferguson, Missouri right now and find you an entire city population that does not think they're living in peace and does not think.

[Caller]

Northern Virginia, D.C. area. We're getting off the subject here.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

No, I'm not getting off subject. I'm staying focused on it. You have a totally skewed definition of peace. Let me how come, how come it is that every time we get close to a Palestinian state, the Palestinians or the Arabs sabotage it?

[Caller]

Is that how you feel? Let me ask you a question.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

What do you mean how I feel I'm thinking about this, not about how I feel.

[Caller]

Your opinion, that's absolutely your opinion. That that's, that's a perspective that you have. That's not an actuality, that's not a truth. You're presenting it as a truth, but that's not true. Then let me explain why you don't.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

You, you don't even live in the real world. You're robotic here. You're spouting robotic things at me. I'm trying to actually talk to you and use critical thinking in the first place. You won't tell me what the definition of peace is. I'll tell you what peace is. Peace is the absence of threat and the presence of justice. Now, peace to Al Qaeda is an entirely different thing than peace to Americans. Peace to the Nazis was an entire. And the Soviets was an entirely different thing than it is to people like you and me. And I'm telling that peace to the Palestinians and whoever it is that's seeking this so called two state solution is a much different definition than the Israeli definition. This is one of the problems. How can you say it's peace when the people who want their own state want to use it as a staging area to wipe the Jews off the map? How in the world could the Jews sign on to that? Where is the peace in that? I think this is all smoke and mirrors. I think Netanyahu wants peace. I think Netanyahu wants everybody to be happy. I think Netanyahu would be happy if Rabbi just dropped their grievances, live happily ever after, as you say. But I don't think we have people that actually want to do that. I think there are people to whom peace is the end of their business. We have people to whom peace is the end of their power. People to whom peace is the end of their notoriety and fame. So until we can even agree on a definition of peace, you just automatically conclude that a two state solution equals peace. It doesn't. It's one of the most provocative things that could happen. The root word being provoke. And you do not have peace if at the same time somebody's being provoked. So yours is a political dominated or oriented definition of peace, whereas mine is real. You automatically can disqualify Netanyahu as a man of peace because he doesn't agree with your political solution to the problem. Therefore he's not a man of peace. He's more a man of peace than any other name you could give me over there.

[Steve Deace]

That was the great Rush Limbo. What do you think he'd say today, after October 7th, what do you think he'd say to anonymous senior officials leaking the Axios and others trashing Netanyahu? What do you think he'd say about that? What do you think he'd say about Qatar? What do you think he'd say about Qatar's billions of dollars that have been pouring into our colleges and universities, destroying them, funding radical Islamists and Marxists in our streets that seek to overthrow our country? Tell me, do you think he would think that we should have a military base in Idaho for the Qataris to train them on how to fly our F15s?

[Mark Levin]

What do you think he'd say about.

[Steve Deace]

Their role in 9 11?

[Mark Levin]

It's not hard to know.

[Steve Deace]

Russia is a man of extraordinary common sense.

[Mark Levin]

Just a solid conservative. What do you think he'd say about Tucker Carlson.

[Steve Deace]

And Candace Owens and Steve Bannon and even people like Megyn Kelly? What do you think he would say? I know what he would say. I truly do. We miss his voice greatly. That was four minutes of Rush Limbaugh. Joe Rogan can't hand a candle to that man. He can't hold a candle to that man or the flim flam he pushes. What do you think he'd say about these comics, these Jew hating comics? What do you think you'd say about them? I'm trying to bring some context folks, and some perspective. I'm not out on a limb. There's nothing controversial about what I'm saying. I'm saying what red blooded Americans say and what red blooded Americans believe.

[Mark Levin]

All the static, all the chest beating.

[Steve Deace]

All the griffs, the clicks and the hits. Rush hated the Internet. He refused to be a podcaster.

[Mark Levin]

He just felt there were too many.

[Steve Deace]

People on the Internet who.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

Were out.

[Steve Deace]

Of control, who weren't thinking, who could do things on the Internet because you really couldn't know who they are.

[Mark Levin]

That really were of no consequence.

[Steve Deace]

So I wanted to share that little treat with you. God bless our friend. I'll be right back.

[Mark Levin]

Israel is at war with Iran, a nation whose leaders have vowed to wipe Israel and even the United States off the map. In a necessary act of self defense, Israel struck Iranian nuclear facilities, military targets and top leadership. Right now the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid and emergency kits, especially to Israel's most vulnerable people, the sick, the elderly, children and families in great need. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is also making sure that hospitals, emergency rooms and shelters are fully stocked with critical and life saving medical supplies. But the fellowship needs your most generous gift today to make this work possible. Now is the time, ladies and gentlemen, to stand with Israel's most vulnerable to rush your gift. Call 888-585-IFCJ and donate today. That's 888-585-IFCj or online at levin for the fellowship.org that's L E V I N for the fellowship.org he's here.

[Producer/Announcer]

He's here now. Broadcasting from the undergr, deep in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building, we've once again made contact with our leader, Mark Levin.

[Mark Levin]

Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our power hour, hour three.

[Steve Deace]

Our number is 8773-8138-1187-7381-3811.

[Mark Levin]

The plan is to take calls at the bottom of the hour.

[Steve Deace]

Oh, yes, non government organizations, foreign billionaires revealed to fund anti fascist rioters. I hate that phrase because they are fascists. They're Marxists. Antifa. And we will also get into that on Life, Liberty and Levin with Peter Schweitzer. I'm telling you, these are killer shows. Really, really good. And on Friday's Alex Marlowe show, boys, he really turned the Breitbart site into a great site after that clown Bannon kind of screwed it up, in my humble opinion. Marlow said to act as though it's just some kind of random people, which CNN has attempted to do. That's antifa from the very beginning, despite massive amounts of evidence to the contrary. And so you have money pouring into this organization from overseas from that billionaire in communist China. You got money pouring in from Arabella, one of these funding organizations for the Democrats on the left. These are really cartels in many ways, aren't they? They're cartels. They need to be broken up. This isn't about free speech.

[Mark Levin]

They're trying to destroy our country.

[Steve Deace]

They're trying to overthrow our country. Nobody believes that free speech unless you're a moron, you know, unless you're Rand Paul or something like that. But that's not free speech. It's just not.

[Mark Levin]

You know, one of my favorites is Douglas Murray.

[Steve Deace]

This guy is really good, which is why he comes under attack by the padded room crowd. And he points out that the president's historic peace deal brings joy and relief, but it comes with a bitterly high cost. Looks like President Trump may have pulled off the toughest deal of his presidency and end to the war in the Middle East. All the countries in the Middle east have signed on to the President's deal and both Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of the ceasefire deal. The President on Fox the other day addressed the issue at the forefront of so many people's minds, the release of the hostages. The big thing is hostages are going to be released probably Monday, the President said. Now that is crucial. But that's not a peace deal. That's the release of the hostages. The rest is going to describe and define my comments what this peace deal is, he said. They're in a terrible situation there, said President Trump, referring to the 48 Israeli hostages to believe to be in Gaza, less than half of whom are alive. There was a reminder this week of just how bad the situation of those hostages will be. Elie Shirabi's memoir Hostage was published in America this week on October 7th. You know Mr. Producer, we should get him on the program next week if we can. If you'll check their public, his publicist.

[Mark Levin]

Okay.

[Steve Deace]

That was the second year anniversary, the day that Shirabi was abducted from his home in the community of Bari in southern Israel. He was held in tunnels underneath Gaza for 491 days with his legs shackled. For weeks he was put through indescribable mental and physical torture, deprived of food, water, sunlight, everything as he described in his book. All the time. He got through by thinking of getting out and being reunited with his wife and two daughters. Hamash didn't tell them that they had been murdered. Elie's wife, daughters, his brother. On the morning of October 7, Shirabi's memoir is a searing unput it down account. What he was put through stands comparison with Viktor Frankl's mediation on the Holocaust. Man's search for a meeting. That is a fantastic book. Excuse me reading it, you can't stop thinking of the people still down there. People have been going through the same hell as Shirabi, but even longer. If the remaining hostages are in fact released, it will be a cause for huge relief and celebration. They and their families been put through years of unimaginable hell. But the release will come at a bitterly high price because the deal includes a so called exchange of Israeli hostages for hundreds and hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. And these prisoners include terrorists. People involved in the most deadly terror attacks against Israel who should have stayed in prison for the rest of their lives. Frankly, it's amazing that Hamas is still in a position to negotiate anything. This has been my view. You might have hoped that after two years they would have to simply surrender but the group is still negotiating. One of its spokespeople, Hazam Qasem, complained this week that the occupation that is Israel attempting to manipulate the list of Palestinian prisoners at the Resistance handed over for release. So they're still negotiating. Of course, right now, what they're negotiating is phase two. The Israeli side will be wanting to prevent the release of the worst and the most dedicated Islamist fanatics from their prisons. Well, ladies and gentlemen, in many cases, that's not going to happen. One of these subhuman bastards literally hanged two young IDF soldiers and murdered a teenager. Those soldiers wound up in Ramallah. They got lost, Mr. Producer, and they drove their car into Ramallah and they were seized, and he literally hanged them and killed a teenage boy. He's going to be released now. What do those families think?

[Mark Levin]

Nobody ever talks about the families.

[Steve Deace]

Who.

[Mark Levin]

Are going to suffer even more now because of the release of these subhuman monsters.

[Steve Deace]

Yep. Now, when the Israeli hostages do come home on Monday, celebration will be mixed with foreboding and mourning, not just for the dead bodies that Hamas continues to use as bargaining chips, but because other relatives of other victims of Hamas will see their loved ones, killers, killers, released on the streets. I can't think of any other country in the world that would accept such terms. Me neither. Dead bodies of your murdered citizens in exchange for the murderers of your citizens. And we kept putting pressure on Israel, according to Axios, we kept putting pressure on them. The Israelis know how this process can go. They've been here before. Many readers will know that the whole October 7th war was started by the Hamas leader, Yahass Sinwar. Sinwar was in an Israeli prison for years, not for killing Israelis, but for throttling Palestinians to death with his own hands, including with one one of those nice Kifa scarves they're protesters in New York have made into accessories for their terrorist chic attire. As a dedicated Hamas leader, Sinwar spent years in an Israeli prison where he studied his enemy. And in 2011, he was released along with more than a thousand other Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one, a single kidnapped Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit. That deal was a bitter one for Israelis to swallow, but they did swallow it in order to get their young man home. Now Sinwar went back to Gaza, increased his control inside Hamas. His renown among his fellow jihadists was only increased through his time in prison. And then he launched October 7, 2023. How will this. How will this time be different? Asked Douglas Murray. How will the Israeli public know that the hundreds of prisoners released in exchange for their hostages will not be the next sinwar. Of course, that's the problem, isn't it? We're giddy with celebration. And I get it. These people need to get out. I get it. But there is a reality here that people are not talking about, not acknowledging, because they don't want to. There's only one person who can ensure the last two years of bloody conflict and loss is not just the latest Gaza war, but the last Gaza war. And that man is President Trump. It is the President who has managed to put together the remarkable regional coalition that appears to be bringing this war to an end. The relationships he's built over many years have often been the subject of criticism, but they have provided or are they proved invaluable. If this peace still passes and holds, it is that second bit that will matter most, that the deal holds. And that's why this phase two is so important. Because it is crucial that whatever happens in the next few days, Hamas or similar jihadist groups can never again control Gaza, that they are never again in a position to invade and slaughter their neighbors. For that to happen, President Trump is going to need to remain engaged in the post war aftermath. He has already talked of the Board of Peace, which he will chair and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will be on. Blair has his critics. He also has an unparalleled contact book for the Middle East. With the engagement of the Arab states, it is possible that post war Gaza could indeed be rebuilt. But it must be rebuilt in the knowledge that the citizens are preparing for a life of peace, not a future war. President Trump has brought the people of Israel and Gaza to the brink of peace. Now he has to make it hold. I'll be right back.

[Steve Deace]

There's three Supreme Court races, three Supreme Court just justice races in Pennsylvania. Now you'll remember in 2020, the battle in Pennsylvania. It wound up in the Supreme Court of the State. There's seven members on the court, five of them are liberal Democrats. And we kept losing there and my wife was litigating there and they brought two cases to the U.S. supreme Court that Sam Alito wanted to take but he couldn't get enough justices to go along with him. But this court has enormous power. These people serve a long time. It's 10 or 15 years as I recall. And nobody pays attention to these cases, to these elections. So I want to alert you to this. Pennsylvania.

[Mark Levin]

3 state supreme court justices are on.

[Steve Deace]

The ballot next month in a typically under the radar vote that could have far reaching implications in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania.

[Mark Levin]

The left will turn out, the teachers unions will turn out.

[Steve Deace]

They're going to try and put these radical leftists, reelect them and put them on the court. The Justices Christine Donahue, Kevin Dougherty and David Weck.

[Mark Levin]

This David Weck is the worst of the bunch.

[Steve Deace]

The worst. David Weck.

[Mark Levin]

They're all backed by Democrat, the Democrat Party, Donahue, Dougherty and Wecht.

[Steve Deace]

They need to be defeated.

[Mark Levin]

So you have an up or down vote.

[Steve Deace]

A retention election, meaning voters choose whether.

[Mark Levin]

To keep them on the court for another 10 years. They screwed President Trump, they undermined the state constitution, they undermine the federal Constitution. Trust me on this, that's what they did. Wecht W e c h t Dougherty D o u g H e r t Y Donahue D o n o h u e these are the the Supreme Court justices of the NEA and the aft of the radical leftists. Wecht, Dougherty, Donahue. Vote down retention vote.

[Steve Deace]

No.

[Mark Levin]

Few Pennsylvania justices have lost their jobs in this way. With the Democrats. A 5 to 2 Supreme Court majority going into the 2026 midterm election. In the 2028 presidential election, this year's retention vote is drawing big money and attention, especially from the left. If all three justices were to lose, Pennsylvania's high court would be deadlocked 2 to 2 through the end of 2027.

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

Good.

[Mark Levin]

That's better than 5 to 2 where the Democrat radical leftists are controlling the court. The chair of the Democrat Party of Pennsylvania said this is without question the most important retention election in Pennsylvania history. Why? Because they want to control the outcome of the midterm elections. They want to control the outcome of the 2028 election. I hope Republicans all around the country, but especially in Pennsylvania, are paying attention. I hope people who want to be president in the Republican Party are paying attention. This is where the rubber hits the road.

[Steve Deace]

Now here's how a retention race works in Pennsylvania.

[Mark Levin]

You cast a yes or no vote.

[Steve Deace]

For each justice who's listed without a party affiliation.

[Mark Levin]

These are radical Democrats. All three justices are up for retention. Are radical Democrats a vote? No. It's that simple. No. No.

[Steve Deace]

Hell no.

[Mark Levin]

If voters choose not to retain any or all the Justices, the state's Democratic governor and 2/3 of the Republican controlled.

[Steve Deace]

State Senate will need to agree on.

[Mark Levin]

Temporary appointments until new justices are elected in 2027. So you have Josh Shapiro, who they pretend is another moderate when he's a liberal kook. But 2/3 of the Republican controlled state Senate would be involved. They can't agree any open seat would remain vacant until the first Monday of January 2028. So be it. This court has decided several big cases in recent years, particularly on elections in the crucial swing state. The Democratic Control Court struck down a gerrymandered congressional map in 2018, upheld a male voting law four years later. Last year, Democratic justices overturned a president upholding Medicaid's ban on covering abortion. So they are radical leftists. Vote no in Pennsylvania. Vote and vote no. The Democrats are pouring a crapload of money in here. I don't know where the hell the Republicans are. Malcolm Kenyatta, vice chair of the Democrat National Committee, said the Republican plan here is to put the Supreme Court in a position where it can't function. We don't need lectures from the Democrats who hate America. A new Franklin and Marshall poll found all three justices have double digit leads among likely voters, but that huge chunks of the electorate are undecided because the electorate doesn't know who these are. These are Radical leftists. All three Democrats. Radical leftists who screwed us in 2020 with serious constitutional challenges, with a state constitution was being violated in the federal constitution. You need to defeat them. No. Say no.

[Steve Deace]

I'll be right back. Distracted by my beautiful wife who walked in here to say hello. You did.

[Mark Levin]

How important is that race for the.

[Steve Deace]

Supreme Court in Pennsylvania? Those three radical left wing justices?

[Candidate/Guest]

It is.

[Mark Levin]

You need to come to the microphone.

[Candidate/Guest]

Absolutely crucial.

[Mark Levin]

Because you dealt with them.

[Candidate/Guest]

I did. And they were radical leftists.

[Steve Deace]

And come to the mic.

[Candidate/Guest]

They were radical leftists and the decisions that will come before the Supreme Court will not just defend.

[Steve Deace]

He can barely hear you. Go ahead.

[Candidate/Guest]

The decisions that will come before the cases that will come before the Supreme Court. Supreme Court will not just affect Pennsylvanians, but will, in essence, affect the entire country.

[Steve Deace]

There you go. All right, kiddo.

[Candidate/Guest]

And we didn't even rehearse that.

[Steve Deace]

We didn't.

[Mark Levin]

Maybe we should have.

[Listener/Caller]

Serendipitous.

[Mark Levin]

Yes.

[Steve Deace]

Whatever that means. Very good. Unbelievable. She is really. Where was I before I interrupted myself? Yes.

[Mark Levin]

Here's the number. Get the Car Shield coverage. Ladies and gentlemen, you'll be glad you did. CarShield.com Levin CarShield.com Levin and call 800-995-4766. Hello, 800-995-4766.

[Steve Deace]

Coverage varies by plan. View contracts and [e-mail]. my view is jumping with both feet before something goes wrong. I've actually had people contact me and.

[Mark Levin]

Said, I just signed up and two days ago, blah, blah, blah, happened. That's the.

[Steve Deace]

That's the great thing about it, in my humble opinion.

[Mark Levin]

A Biden judge.

[Steve Deace]

Seems like there's Biden judges everywhere. That's trouble. Blocks President Trump's use of National Guard in Chicago. You know, ladies and gentlemen, these judges don't have a constitutional leg to stand on. They know it, but they keep doing this. They keep doing it. President has the right to use the National Guard. He certainly has the right to trigger it under the Insurrection Act. And my advice to the president and his people is go ahead and trigger it. Make sure you explain how many times it's been used before and which presidents have used it before. Give some examples. Because these instances of the. Of the counter revolutionaries who are out there on behalf of the Democrats, and apparently some of these federal judges fall squarely within the four corners of the Insurrection Act. So this judge is wrong. U.S. district Judge April Perry issued a temporary block on Trump's use of the National Guard to protect ICE facilities in Chicago.

[Mark Levin]

How stupid is that? How absurd is that?

[Steve Deace]

The judge's action came after Illinois and Chicago officials and Trump sued Trump to thwart the use of troops to protect.

[Mark Levin]

Federal law enforcement facilities.

[Steve Deace]

This is an easy overturn by an appellate panel.

[Mark Levin]

It really is. This is so ridiculous. They say Donald Trump is not king and his administration is not above the law.

[Steve Deace]

This guy Pritzker has an IQ of a kumquat. He has the looks of a rotten apple. That's correct. He's a moron. But he's a Democrat, so they elect him in Illinois because that's all they know.

[Mark Levin]

Hey, who's running? Pritzker and. Oh, it doesn't matter. Democrat, Democrat.

[Steve Deace]

They go to the, the voting booth, salivating, looking for Democrats. Vote Democrat, vote them.

[Mark Levin]

Then they complain. Why is there so much crime? I don't understand why my taxes so high? Why are illegal aliens taking my job?

[Rush Limbaugh (archival audio)]

Why?

[Mark Levin]

What's going on? Well, that's what's going on.

[Steve Deace]

Unbelievable. All right, Mr. Producer, let me take some calls here. Hold on one second, please. See, we got. Hold on. I'm working on it. Oh, got a lot of calls, actually.

[Mark Levin]

Let's go to Jerry, El Paso, Texas, the great ktsm, our wonderful affiliate there.

[Steve Deace]

Jerry, how are you?

[Listener/Caller]

I'm doing well, sir. Thank you, Professor Denali.

[Steve Deace]

Thank you.

[Listener/Caller]

Yes, sir, I have, I have a question. I'm highly concerned about this air base going to be put in Idaho.

[Steve Deace]

Yes, sir.

[Listener/Caller]

For Qatar. I'm a retired first sergeant from the.

[Steve Deace]

U.S. god bless you.

[Mark Levin]

Well, there are new friends, don't you know? I mean, after getting behind 9, 11.

[Steve Deace]

And October 7 and the Taliban and destroying our schools, they've been fantastic partners.

[Listener/Caller]

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. That's a kia the kid.

[Steve Deace]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Listener/Caller]

That they use in, in the Quran.

[Steve Deace]

Says that they are allowed to lie.

[Listener/Caller]

To us for the Islam. Well, my concern is we had foreign troops in Florida under, I believe it was Obama, and they killed some people down there, Air Force individuals in one of our air bases.

[Steve Deace]

My concern is this.

[Mark Levin]

We should not have a foreign country.

[Steve Deace]

Having a base in the United States, period. I don't care if we're overseeing or whatever it is, let alone Qatar. And we don't have any longtime allies who we built bases for in the United States. This is a bad precedent. I don't like it in the least.

[Mark Levin]

I don't like Qatar in the least.

[Steve Deace]

You're exactly right. This aeropadope that they play with us is really appalling. And if I'm the only one speaking out against it, so be it. Or if there's a handful of us, so be it. But this is outrageous. I hope you'll watch my shows on the weekend, my friend, on Fox, because on Sunday we're really going to do a deep dive on this Qatar. I didn't have the knowledge about this base at the time, but I think you're going to like it, particularly given your veteran status. And thank you, brother. Take care of yourself. Let's keep going.

[Mark Levin]

Let's keep going. Cindy Kernersville, North Carolina, on the Mark Levin app. Cindy, how Are you.

[Listener/Caller]

I'm great. How are you, Mark?

[Steve Deace]

I'm doing okay. You know What? I told Mr. Producer? I have the chills. I hope I'm not coming down with something stupid here. Anyway, go right ahead.

[Listener/Caller]

Oh, no, please don't. Don't do it. Don't do it. Anyway. Yeah, I'm praying for you. I will.

[Mark Levin]

I don't think it's that bad, but okay.

[Steve Deace]

Thank you.

[Listener/Caller]

Oh, come on. Everybody can use a prayer.

[Steve Deace]

Yeah, that's for sure.

[Listener/Caller]

This guitar, bass. Who is the deranged person or persons representing the United States who thinks this is a great.

[Mark Levin]

Well, look, the administration's doing this and.

[Steve Deace]

The Secretary War is doing this and the President's doing this. But, you know, this is what I mean by critic criticism, that is polite, that is informed, not trying to destroy the president or the presidency. I think this is a huge mistake. I don't like it in the least. And, and so we speak out about this and I'm hopeful that people will take into consideration what we red blooded Americans think.

[Mark Levin]

I guarantee if this were put up.

[Steve Deace]

To a vote, it'd be 90% against. Except in Dear Bornistan, where it'd be 90% for, of course.

[Listener/Caller]

Right. Well, you know, if anybody deserves a base in the United States, it's Israel. And for two reasons. They're a wonderful ally of the United States, but God gave them that land. Okay? He gave them that land.

[Steve Deace]

If you believe in the Bible.

[Mark Levin]

That's exactly right.

[Steve Deace]

There it is, right there.

[Listener/Caller]

Supersedes every single thing. And I'm a Christian.

[Steve Deace]

And some of the biggest supporters of Israel are Christians. Trust me on this.

[Listener/Caller]

Exactly. Because we know, we know history, we know God's word and it's so important for this world.

[Steve Deace]

And Christians, you know, not podcasters and stuff like that. Christians.

[Producer/Announcer]

I.

[Listener/Caller]

Right. People who really believe and know and know in their hearts. And I know Jewish people know this in their hearts just like we do.

[Steve Deace]

You're a lovely lady from North Carolina. Where is Kernersville? What's that near?

[Listener/Caller]

Well, Kernsville is kind of. It's in the Piedmont Triad area. Greensboro. When High Point. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Mark Levin]

You're right in the middle of it all there.

[Steve Deace]

Okay.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah. Yes, yes.

[Mark Levin]

By the way, I love High Point.

[Steve Deace]

My family loves High Point. They have those, they have market there where, you know, people all over the country come to purchase things for their stores and so forth. And you have a great college there, High Point, which is now I blew it. Now everybody's going to go there and I can't get my grandkids in. But I'm saying it's a great college. High point, Cindy.

[Mark Levin]

Thank you. Have a fantastic weekend.

[Steve Deace]

You sound great. We'll be right back.

[Producer/Announcer]

Mart Love in.

[Steve Deace]

All right, let's take some calls, shall we?

[Mark Levin]

Yes, we can.

[Steve Deace]

All right, let's see here, here.

[Mark Levin]

Let's go to Luzia. Greenville, South Carolina, the great wyrd. How are you?

[Listener/Caller]

I'm good, Mark. Been a longtime listener, 25 years now.

[Steve Deace]

Wow. Thank you.

[Listener/Caller]

First time I heard you on radio. Who's this guy yelling at us?

[Mark Levin]

I scared you.

[Listener/Caller]

I listened. Oh, my goodness. Keep on yelling, Mark.

[Mark Levin]

We need it.

[Steve Deace]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Listener/Caller]

I am absolutely horrified and appalled at this idea of putting any nation's military base. But it's crazy. On our sovereign soil. What on earth? Who is the genius that thinks this is a good idea? I cannot believe it. I am a military veteran U.S. army Signal Corps officer, and I am disgusted and appalled that this is somehow thought of as a wise choice. No. No, it's not. I have spent a lot of my life learning about the truth of the so called religion of peace. It is not. And I'm horrified that this. How much more stupid do we have to get? I'm. I'm. I'm afraid.

[Mark Levin]

I'm afraid they're spending $12 billion, so.

[Steve Deace]

We'Re selling our security for $12 billion.

[Mark Levin]

And just so you know, I've got.

[Steve Deace]

Veterans lined up here. We're not going to get to them. Jerome in Idaho and so many others who are absolutely furious with this. And I think this audience, massive audience, is really repulsed by this. I think this was a terrible move.

[Mark Levin]

You take care of yourself, Luzia. Thanks for your service.

[Steve Deace]

God bless you, my friend.

[Mark Levin]

In honor of you.

[Producer/Announcer]

Sam.

[Listener/Caller]

To shoot Sa.

[Producer/Announcer]

Ra.
