Summary

Mark Levin Podcast – "The Silent Holocaust: What’s Happening in Iran?"

Date: January 20, 2026
Host: Mark Levin (Cumulus Podcast Network)
Guests: Richard Goldberg (Foundation for the Defense of Democracies), Mark Goldfeder (National Jewish Advocacy Center)
Episode Focus: The ongoing mass slaughter and brutal repression of protesters in Iran, the international response (or lack thereof), the geopolitics of the Middle East, and the urgent need for U.S. and allied intervention.

Episode Overview

In this hard-hitting episode, Mark Levin delves into what he calls the "silent holocaust" unfolding in Iran—state-sanctioned mass killings, torture, and repression against young protesters. Levin lambasts the lack of global attention to Iran’s atrocities, criticizes U.S. policy responses, and argues for decisive action against the regime. He discusses the interconnectedness of regional crises including the targeting of Kurds, the questionable conduct of U.S. envoys, and the role of regimes like Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. The show features passionate commentary, analysis from security expert Richard Goldberg, and a legal perspective from Mark Goldfeder. Levin draws visceral parallels to past genocides and frames the Iranian people’s struggle as a fight for basic human rights and Western values.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On Iran’s Atrocities:
- “It's not 3,000 dead. I just read it. 23,000 dead and the number's going up. You can't see there, you can't hear there. Maybe they're not hanging people, but they have bullets.” – Mark Levin, [08:24]

Folks, this is Mark Levin. America. Does anybody really believe that Washington, especially Congress, is going to reduce the debt? They're not. In fact, nobody even talks about it anymore. That has a massive impact on the value of the dollar and the currency. And it's only a matter of time, in my humble opinion, that this is going to implode. Now, look, diversification, that's what real experts talk about. It's a hedge against instability. My friends at Monetary Gold have been around since 2000 witnessing multiple economic setbacks. If you call now and say Mark sent you, it will cover up to lifetime of your IRA fees on qualified accounts. Call monetary gold now at 8-77-now-Gold. That's 8-77-now-Gold. 877-now-Gold. Performance may vary. You should always consult your financial and tax professional.

Richard Goldberg (0:46)

He's here.

Announcer (0:47)

He's here now. Broadcasting 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.

Mark Levin (1:04)

Love, Sam.

Producer/Co-host (2:19)

Hello, America. Mark Levin here.

Mark Levin (2:21)

Our number, 877-3813-811877-38811, 3811. I hope you had a good weekend, man. I'll tell you what. There is a lot of hell breaking loose all over the world. We're going to talk about Iran now, in Syria. You know that guy that was part of, what was it, isis, I guess he was, or Al Qaeda. And everybody told us he's reformed. He's told our government he's reformed. And so all these sanctions that were placed on Syria were dropped. You got an envoy there, Thomas Barak, who is a disgrace and a disaster. I've called him out many times on this program and on social media. He's been an apologist for a lot of these terror organizations. I feel he's deceived the American people on many occasions. Again, it's not a secret, you know that. I feel this way and even more. But what's happening right now is Erdogan, who is the fascist Islamist genocidal maniac who's destroyed Turkey in their government, is behind this effort, working with this phony reformer, this terrorist who runs Syria to.

Producer/Co-host (3:44)

Ethnically cleanse the Kurds.

Mark Levin (3:48)

And about two hours ago, the main prison, in which about 5,000 ISIS prisoners are held. Did you see that, Mr. Producer? They're gone now. They've been released. That's right. Gone and been released. Now, to make matters even worse, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, you should know, have opposed the United States taking military action to help stop The Iranian holocaust that's taking place, and it's still taking place. And Kantar and Saudi Arabia have.

Producer/Co-host (8:30)

You know what? Iran today is a concentration camp. The lights are off, the electricity is off, it's dark, there's no communication except for Qatar's communication system. Al Jazeera people are being dragged out of their homes tonight as I speak. They're hiding in their homes. They're being executed summarily. The prisoners who are the age of your children and grandchildren are being tortured and raped. It's not 3,000 dead. I just read it. 23,000 dead and the number's going up. You can't see there, you can't hear there. Maybe they're not hanging people, but they have bullets. They're killing people and they are abusing these people. Now people say, what is it our business now? Sometimes there are things we cannot do. The Uyghurs in China and so forth and so on. You just said that this guy Khomeini has ordered the assassination of our president. They've tried to assassinate our president. He should be taken out. When you try to take out the president of the United States. Since when do we tolerate that from any 7th century barbarian primitive? Not today, not yesterday. We shouldn't take it tomorrow, and we shouldn't be here wondering what America should do. This is a regime that said, yeah, you took out our nukes, but you can't take out our knowledge about nukes. And we're going to keep building them and we're going to attack the United States. They've killed a thousand Americans over the years through Hezbollah and Hamas. Now I asked my fellow Americans, how much more of this crap are we going to take from these terrorists? How much more they are slaughtering these young people. They're unarmed they're brutalizing them. We said protest. We're coming to the rescue. Well, that's what we Americans do when we can. And the President, I believe in all my heart is going to keep his word, because that's what he does. And when you see these young people in body bags all over the damn place, and when you see these young people staring into the sky, dead, and when these young people are in these prisons saying, my God, where's my mother and my father? Can somebody help me? Do you hear them, America? Do you hear them? I hear them screaming.

Mark Levin (11:04)

We need to do something about this. And Sean agreed. It's a good man. As time goes on, you know, less and less attention paid to this. But in. But in Iran, it goes on. There's a holocaust taking place in Iran, a holocaust. And the full extent of it won't be known until that government falls, God willing. Now, the President told the protesters to keep protesting, that help would be on the way. And I believe with all my heart he's a man of his word. And there's every indication that help is on the way. Unfortunately, it takes time to bring armies, not one, but multiple and navies into the region because they had left for the most part. And you have to be prepared for a breakout of war in case that takes place. But you need to bring in obviously, very powerful offensive capabilities, give the President options, and you need to have defensive capabilities. And in the case of Israel, for instance, they need to make sure they have enough missiles to take missiles out of the sky. And so all these things are going on. I believe this regime needs to go. There was a third threat today from the regime to assassinate our president. You can't, you just cannot allow countries to do that. This can't go on like this. It's not going to go on. I hope, I pray the Iranian people are Western people. They're not Arabs, they're Persians. And the Shah was toppled not because, as bloated Ben in that buffoon says, the Iranians allowed it because Carter allowed it. That's what happened. I get so sick of these buffoons who spew their stupidity to endorse their lunatic agendas. And you'll notice when the going gets tough, there's a lot less of their noise that people want to hear, because wherever you have an enemy and the enemy from wind joins with them. I haven't heard these people really complain very much about Khomeini, have you? But Qatar is in on it. Saudi Arabia's in on it. Turkey's in on it. They're all in on it. I want you to hear from Reza Pahlavi, who is the exiled Crown Prince. We're going to address this and continue for a bit. And I want to talk about what's happening to the Kurds now who have fought by our side against isis. Many of them died. These are warriors. Erdogan is trying to wipe them out. Now Syria is trying to wipe them out because they're in Syria and Turkey. We have a lot of friends in the Middle east in addition to Israel. The Persian people are our friends. The Kurds are our friends. The Jews are our friends. The Christians there as well as the Jews, a lot of these minorities there. They're our friends, they're our allies. It's amazing, isn't it? The first religion of the big three, Judaism, then Christianity, and a long way off, Islam, and yet they want to wipe out the remaining Jews in the area. They've been wiping out the Christians, and they claim all the land is theirs. Now, isn't that absurd, Mr. Producer? They're the last in, and yet they claim all the holy sites of the Jews and the Christians. Well, they're not their holy sites. They don't belong to them, and they don't get to have them. I'll be right back.

Mark Levin (38:26)

My God, how charismatic was this man? Unbelievable. Listen to what he said. Listen to what he said. I feel like I stand with the Iranian people for the same reason. I stand with the Kurds for the same reason. I've never been to Iran. I've never been to the areas where the Kurds live. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. There's a good people. In fact, they share our belief systems, whether they're Jewish, Christian or Muslim. These are good people. And I stand with them, period. I don't even have to think about it. Look how he's talking about the Jewish people. He understood Judeo Christian belief systems. And some of the earliest people who he befriended and befriended him were young Jewish college students and other Jews, some of whom were murdered by the Klan. By the Klan. And we have a modern day Klan today. Now they don't wear white hoods and white sheets. No. Some wear bow ties, some wear sports jackets, some wear hunting gear, nice croft hair and haircuts and well shaven. Some of them are very wealthy. Some of them, you know, it's a different look. You know, a different look. There's a video going around on the Internet, it's actually very good. And it has a segment out of a movie where Adolf Hitler learns that basically the powers aligned against him are winning the war. He screams at his generals and he has some of them leave. And then his top generals he brutalizes. But then they dubbed in his speech, He said, where are the Aryan people? Where are the Aryan people? Then they showed pictures, movie pictures of these five pieces of crap who are well known Jew haters. And worse than that, they, they really believe in the extermination of the Jews and so forth. And so Fuentes, one of the Tate brothers, maybe both of them, some guy named, what's he, Scooby Doo or something? Whatever their names, They're on a private jet because, you know, they're one of the people. And Jeff's saying the most horrendous things about Jews and singing a Hitler song. And they go to a club in Miami and they have the club plays the Hitler song. Turns out the club, his own main investor, is Muslim. Another man who owns a number of clubs said they are not permitted in his clubs. Man has some basic standards. And they pointed out, well, let's see, Fuentes, part Mexican, might be gay. Then you have a guy from Sudan, obviously black, and they were going through the who These guys are another guy who's mixed race, not exactly Aryan. And what would Hitler do to these Hitler Youth types? He'd kill them. He'd kill them. Low iq, he'd kill them.

Richard Goldberg (51:06)

Well, we have a carrier strike group on the way. We have reports of a whole bunch of different fighter squadrons running around and moving towards the region. Obviously, if you had B2 stealth capabilities, they would launch from the United States and you find out about it after they've dropped their massive bombs, as we recall from Operation Midnight Hammer. But he's definitely expanding his option set here. It's not just Cyber operations, and maybe he can launch a few tomahawks from some destroyers in the Arabian Gulf or the Red Sea, he's going to have a lot more firepower here as President of the United States to deter the Iranians. But more importantly, enough with deterrence. Actually degrade, destroy, uproot their capabilities that threaten us most, that extort us, their missile program, their navy that threatens to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, all of those things, and then be able to really think about what is command and control inside Tehran. How do you degrade that? How do you give the protesters the millions of people who are right now in their homes waiting for the President of the United States to do something, ready to come back out and seize institutions the way that he called on them to do. If he can put together a plan with General Kaine as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other senior advisors, the way that we've seen them put together spectacular creative things already. Look at what they did to Maduro in Venezuela. Did anybody predict that operation? No. People could have thought there was going to be this strike or that strike. There's nobody who could have written that book of what they did in Venezuela. There's nobody who could have written the book of what they did during a 12 day war, coordinating with Israel, topping it off with B2 bombers. And I don't think there's anybody who really knows the script of what's coming here except Donald Trump, General Kaine and a few very close advisors in the National Security Council.

Richard Goldberg (53:12)

And he's the. He mean the Supreme Leader, the quote, unquote leader, the. The supreme leader of death, the supreme killer. Absolutely. If he knows, if Donald Trump knows where he's hiding. Remember, he put a true social post up during that 12 day war. He said, I know where you are. I can find you. I'm letting you live for now. I'll always remember that post. That was a very important post. If he says he still does know where Ali Khamenei is hiding, some bunker and he has the right munitions and he has the right plan to potentially decapitate the head of that regime and give the people in that moment of disorientation time to come out and seize their opportunity. The Israelis I remember a year and a half ago, remember this spectacular strike on the bunker in Beirut against the head of Hezbollah and Nasrallah being taken out. The whole organization was neutralized. I mean, they were frozen for days. They didn't know what to do. They couldn't launch missiles from the field even. And they had them. And the Israeli Air Force just ripped it all to shreds while they were totally disoriented. I think the President could conceive of something like that. There's no boots on the ground. There's no Americans in harm's way. You take actions to mitigate and prevent any Iranian retaliation and you formulate a plan like that, he can do a lot of damage there. And is there a guarantee of what's going to happen next? I don't think you can give the President a guarantee. You can absolutely say, we're going to minimize the downside for the United States here. We're going to minimize any retaliatory capability of the Iranians and the regime will be as weak as it's ever been in history and a million or more people will be able to come out into the streets and we'll take see what happens next as President of the United States. That will be more than any president in history has ever done. And I think it could be the tipping point where he goes down in history right alongside Ronald Reagan for so many of these achievements. And here's one more. Ronald Reagan brought down the Soviet Union. This President can bring down the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Richard Goldberg (61:11)

From everything that we see, they are taking a dual track approach, which is not atypical. On the one hand, their propaganda is all about puffing themselves up from the Supreme Leader, the supreme killer, the president, so called president, the leader of the parliament, senior advisors, they're all giving interviews, they're all giving speeches, trying to provoke Donald Trump, trying to threaten him, threaten the United States. We're not going to be bullied. We've already squashed all the protests. All the protesters are off the street. They were terrorists from, from America and Israel. And we're going to get Donald Trump. He shouldn't even think about attacking us. They said a lot of these things leading up to the 12 Day War, and we saw what their true capabilities were. They were nothing. They were like Maduro's capabilities in the middle of the night. And that did a lot for him. But at the same time, we are getting reports that they're on high alert, they're on highest alert. When they thought there were B2 bombers in the air. Last week, I think we saw a lot of different things happening inside of Iran. The Israelis probably saw a lot of different things happening inside of Iran. And we may now know exactly where they go, what their protocols are, where their hideouts are. They probably expose a lot of themselves to the United States and Israel. That will be to Donald Trump's advantage as he moves forward. But, you know, that also means that the Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy may have dispersed already into the Strait, into the Gulf. They might carry mines, they might try to blow up ships or do that in retaliation. So bringing an aircraft carrier and bringing fighter jets in also means you have increased dynamic targeting capability, so that if you see a fast boat, if you see somebody from the Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy trying to lay mines near the Strait of Hormuz, you go in and take them out very quickly. If you see somebody trying to move missiles in the desert, you see something launched, you go and take out the launchers and everybody from the command and control of that launcher very quickly. So that's going to be one of the additional options on the menu for President Trump as he's moving all these forces into the region.

Mark Levin (73:46)

The FBI show that's on the same channel on Thursday nights at night. My wife and I are hooked on these shows. But they got rid of the Tom Selleck show, which infuriates me. Not Ion they run the reruns. But I guess, I don't know, was it NBC or cbs, whatever. But that it really does infuriate me. By the way, Swalwell may have a problem on his hands unless this matter gets before a state judge in California. They'll, they'll grease the skids for him. There's some kind of a film director or producer who brought a lawsuit that he doesn't qualify to run for governor because he's a resident of Washington, D.C. where he spends most of his time. And another one with the mortgages that, that was his primary residence. Now somebody please tell me how Latookas James got got away with that one. You and I would never get away with that. Not that we would even try, but we wouldn't get away with that. But Latookas, she gets away with it. Why? Because there was a hacked judge. That's why. That simple as a hack judge. And that's what hack judges do, stuff like that. And that's what happened. Stuff like that. They have their judges. Their judges are ideologically driven. No matter what. It's the nature of the beast, if you will. Let's see here. Ready for this one? New York Post they told you what's going on in Iran is a holocaust. And our friends at the New York Post. Haunting image shows pile of abandoned shoes after Iran's bloodthirsty regime burned protesters to death. I don't think the full sense of what's going on over there is being properly exposed in our country. A haunting image shows a pile of abandoned shoes after Iran's bloodthirsty regime. Trapped, surrendering, surrendering protesters in a historic bazaar and burned them alive. And what is being likened to Iran's Holocaust. The picture taken in the city of Rashd, northwest Iran shows the aftermath of the massacre on January 8, which regime henchmen set fire to the popular marketplace, trapping demonstrators inside and shooting those who tried to escape. Ladies and gentlemen, according to eyewitness accounts in human rights organizations. Most of it's sneakers kids. If this is not a crime against humanity, what is? Said Ashra Sigharshi, an award winning journalist, former Iranian political prisoner, managing editor of Voice of America's Persian division. Sharing the image on X, he compared the picture to display of victim shoes at the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. and branded the Iranian theocracy Nazi. Like join the club because that's exactly what it is. They belong to people trapped after regime forces set the Hisarq bazaar on fire and shot those trying to escape. The imagery is unmistakable. The victims of the massacre had reportedly surrendered to security forces before being slaughtered, according to Iran Human Rights, a Norway based ngo. Footage of the aftermath shared by the rights organization also shows the burned out smoldering remains of the bazaar. These people need to be killed. I'm sorry, there's even more Iranian protesters, including teen sexually assaulted by security forces, Human rights group says these are demonic people. These are evil, evil regime people. They, they just need to be sent on to the ether. Iran's security forces are accused of sexually assaulting protesters in custody, including a 16 year old, during the violent crackdown on anti government demonstrators that has left thousands dead. At least two protesters, including a minor, have detailed the sexual abuse they suffered to the Kurdistan Human Rights Network during their arrest at a rally against the regime, the Guardian reported. During the transfer, security forces touched their bodies with batons. They beat and applied pressure to anal area with a baton through the clothing and it goes on. The allegations match the descriptions from other human rights groups of the extreme violence carried out specifically against the Kurdish minority in Iran during the protest crackdown. So the Kurdish minority in Iran, the Kurdish minority in Syria, the Kurdish minority in Turkey. The groups have also warned that many more protesters are likely to come forward with similar stories given the horrors demonstrators have faced in 2022 anti government rallies when reports emerged of regular rapes, beatings and torture by state police. The scale could be much larger this time as an estimated 20,000 people are detained. More like 30,000 now since the demonstration began. As of Monday, at least one protester been confirmed to have been killed as a result of torture by Iran's security one. It's got to be a thousand and one. See these body bags? Khrn warned that at least 20 children and teens remain in custody in one town in Kurdistan provinces in Iran, with the protesters allegedly deprived of legal support. Well of course it's one bullet per head. That's, that's it. Brutal hospital raids. Iran security forces use bullets and tear gas on patients and medical Staff, mass arrests. I mean it goes on and on and on. This is just hell on earth. Hell on earth. I feel so bad for these people and I got to believe we're going to do something about this. And then Khomeini himself. Jerusalem Post Khomeini Iran amidst to the slaughter and counts on the world to look away. Right to the Jerusalem Post. So called Supreme Leader, as you heard me, I call him the supreme killer is now openly acknowledged. What the Islamic Republic has spent weeks trying to obscure. In remarks carried by Iranian state media, Khomeini admitted that several thousand deaths had occurred during Iran's latest wave of national protests while blaming the United States in Israel. Yeah, that's right. Protesters he declared were criminals, mercenaries, maharab, enemies of God. A charge that carries the death penalty under Iranian law. I'm telling you, this guy needs to. Needs to be eliminated, obliterated. The more painful the better. For our four decades, the Islamic Republic has relied on familiar formula for survival. Begins with the repression at home, then blames foreign intervention and waits for the world to hesitate. When Iranians protest corruption or inflation, the regime's response is lethal force. When the death toll mounts, Tehran redirects responsibility outward, confident that international outrage will stop short of any consequential acts. This is one way the regime has fertilized, held on to power. The current unrest represents the most serious challenge to the regime since the 2022 Masa Amini protests. Arguably since the Republic's inception in 1979, human rights groups estimate that more than 16,000 people have been murdered, tens of thousands arrested. I saw one figure, 330,000. That's the size of Baltimore. Just so you know, Iranian officials are publicly award that detainees will face severe punishment. What the head prosecutor said is they're going to be killed and soon. And in mass executions. He said it. No Iranian embassies have been closed, nor have any ambassadors been recalled. Diplomatic relations continue largely uninterrupted. That's too bad. It's just too much. Really. It's ridiculous. I'll be right back.
