Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Escalating Middle East Crisis and U.S. Readiness

Timestamps: [00:19]–[09:01]; [30:13]–[42:37]

• U.S. Military Posturing:
  Levin details U.S. naval deployments (USS Gerald Ford, Abraham Lincoln) near Israel amid regional tension. He notes cooperation from Jordan and Saudi Arabia in allowing U.S. access to bases.

  “The USS Gerald Ford has now made port…off the shores of Israel. The USS Abraham Lincoln is there. There are literally hundreds of jet fighters.” [00:19]

• International Response & NATO:
  Levin criticizes the U.K. and France for denying U.S. military access to their bases, despite being NATO allies, contrasting with support from Middle Eastern partners.

  “The British Prime Minister…has said we cannot use his bases. The French President, Macron, has said we can’t use his bases. Now, these are NATO countries, you understand.” [00:54]

• Israeli Resolve and American Support:
  Levin highlights Israel’s vow to respond powerfully to any Iranian attack, and President Trump’s strong rhetoric pledging U.S. support. He rebukes leaks undermining military credibility and calls for criminal investigations under the Espionage Act.

  “Security clearances should be revoked, fines should be issued, prosecution should take place and if guilt is found, prison sentences should be imposed…these leakers, isolationists, …are traitors giving aid and comfort to the Islamist regime that seeks to destroy our country.” [04:05]

• On Iran’s Threat:
  The episode repeatedly returns to the threat posed by the “Islamist Nazi regime in Tehran,” accusing them of continuous war preparations and nuclear ambitions.

  “We have an enemy…an Islamist Nazi enemy that wants to build nuclear weapons to blow us off the face of the earth. There is no peace with an enemy like this…enough is enough.” [32:23]

2. Scathing Critique of Leakers and “Isolationists”

Timestamps: [00:35]–[09:00]; [30:13]–[41:59]

• Condemnation of White House Leaks:
  Levin calls leakers within the administration “traitors,” accusing them of aiding America’s enemies by undermining presidential authority and discouraging military resolve.

  “It’s another thing to leak for the purpose of trying to sabotage a decision a president, this President as Commander in chief, might make or will make.” [03:00]

• Attack on Isolationism:
  Levin likens modern isolationists to 1960s hippies and 1930s anti-Semites, accusing them of undermining American interests for personal gain.

  “They remind me of the hippies of the 1960s. They remind me of the antisemites of the 1930s. They have their own Father Coughlin in the form of Tucker Kitarlson. Mental midgets. Bigots with their own agendas.” [31:40]

3. Media, Tucker Carlson, and Betrayal from Within

Timestamps: [12:12]–[29:53]

• Sharp Rebuke of Tucker Carlson:
  Levin launches a relentless attack on Tucker Carlson for his recent commentary in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, accusing him of undermining U.S. foreign policy and spreading anti-Israel, anti-Semitic views.

  “Tucker Carlson is stabbing Donald Trump in the back, repeatedly, relentlessly, and doing it overseas…He’s a traitor…” [12:50, 14:15]

  • Comparison to Historic Traitors:
    Levin likens Carlson’s behavior to Benedict Arnold and Father Coughlin, asserting Carlson is building a movement akin to pre-WWII fascists.

    “My video podcast today, I elaborate…Benedict Arnold…Father Coughlin…and I explain that Carlson’s worse.” [14:55]

• Contrast with Carlson’s Father:
  Levin plays a lengthy segment featuring Richard Carlson (Tucker’s father) discussing moderate Islamic outreach and support for democracy, painting a picture of ideological contrast.

  “His father was a very decent man…[he] would be appalled at the things this son is saying…in Qatar or Saudi Arabia...” [23:03]

4. The State of the Nation: Radicalization of the Democratic Party

Timestamps: [10:12]–[12:47]; [27:09]–[30:09]

• Transformation and Radicalization:
  Levin claims Democrats aim to “burn down the system”—citing open borders, opposition to deportations, and efforts to undermine the Supreme Court and American sovereignty.

  “We’ve got a real Problem. We’ve got this Mandami in New York City. Cops are pelted with snowballs…” [10:36]

• Behavior at the State of the Union:
  Levin mocks Democratic lawmakers’ boycotts and outbursts during President Trump’s State of the Union, framing it as a lack of respect for American institutions.

  Angie Craig (D-MN): “I would rather stick forks in my eyes than be here tonight to listen to Donald Trump talk about the State of the Union.” [29:55]

5. Reflections on U.S.-Israel Relations and Anti-Semitism

Timestamps: [23:03]–[27:09]; [54:33]–[end]

• Unique Alliance with Israel:
  Levin lauds Israel as an advanced democracy and America’s indispensable strategic partner in the Middle East.

  “Wonderful relationship, America and Israel. Wonderful. That can’t be said with any Arab country.” [26:31]

• History’s Warnings and Widespread Antisemitism:
  Levin draws frightening parallels between today’s climate and the rise of Nazism, warning against repeating the mistakes of history and the consequences of ignoring festering hatred.

  “Those of us who are old enough…what took place a hundred years ago…Not a third world country…So how does a country like that produce an entire Nazi movement? …It happens when early on the citizenry…do not want to believe what is taking place...” [54:33]

Transcript

[Mark Levin]

It's all quiet in the underground bunker, doors closed, locks bolted. But the Great One isn't just resting on his laurels. He's making sure your weekend is even better by giving you his best. This is the best of Mark Levin.

Welcome. We were supposed to get a foot or two of snow, and we didn't. But parts of the north and New England certainly did. More than a foot. Sorry to hear that, but I'm glad we missed it. Mr. Producer. Mr. Producer's got two feet of snow, and his snowplow broke. Hey, it happens. Ladies and gentlemen, the gathering storm. The USS Gerald Ford has now made port. Has almost made port. And by made port, I don't mean physically in port. So you Navy guys don't need to correct me, please. I know I'm not a Navy guy, but they're where they need to be. They were just. Just past Greece, and they are now off the shores of Israel. The USS Abraham Lincoln is there. There are literally hundreds of jet fighters there. I suspect there's some bombers not too far from there. Apparently, Jordan has agreed to allow the United States to use its base and its airspace. Latest report I saw was that Saudi Arabia has relented as well as they must. The British Prime Minister, who's a quisling stormer, has said we cannot use his bases. The French President, Macron, has said we can't use his bases. Now, these are NATO countries, you understand. There were some tankers, it appears, at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. The Prime Minister of Israel gave a speech today to the Knesset. It was a short and very direct speech that they are ready for any eventuality. And should Iran hit Israel, they will be hit so hard they won't know what hit them. We have leakers no doubt woke. Right. Isolationists in and around the White House. The administration have been busy leaking today to Axios, to Politico, to the Washington Post and elsewhere, claiming that statements made by General Kane suggest we would have an extremely difficult time in a military battle against Iran. Now, first things first. These people who are leaking are committing a criminal offense under the Espionage Act. These briefings or discussions with the President are clearly confidential. And they're sharing no doubt classified information about any war effort, any military effort, The number of resources in the region, and on and on and on. I'm calling on the Department of Justice to direct the Federal Bureau of Investigation to conduct a criminal investigation under the Espionage act to determine who in the White House and. Or Pentagon and or administration generally. But I have my own ideas. But nonetheless, is leaking Information to the Democrat Party media to try and undermine our President, our military and the American people and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. These are traitors. It's one thing to make your case to the President, make it as aggressively as you wish, but it's another thing to leak for the purpose of trying to sabotage a decision a president, this President as Commander in chief, might make or will make. So there are criminals or leaking information in violation of federal criminal law. The Axios, Politico and the Washington Post. Actually, I think it was the Wall Street Journal, not necessarily Politico actually. But they'll get there, don't worry. And by the Wall Street Journal, I mean the newspaper, the news section, so called, which is much different than the opinion section. These are crimes. These are crimes. And again, I want to reiterate, the Department of Justice should direct the FBI to conduct a criminal investigation under, among other statutes, 18 USC Section 793, that is the Espionage Act. And there are other aspects they can look at section 798 and so forth and so on. You don't need to worry about that. But they can figure that out. Security clearance should be revoked, fines should be issued, prosecution should take place and if guilt is found, prison sentences should be imposed. I don't care what your view is. You can't do this to a commander in chief and you can't do this to the United States military. And you can't do it to the American people. Giving aid and comfort to the enemy, that's a traitor. And so these leakers, isolationists, obviously woke Reich R Eich who are doing this. They are traitors giving aid and comfort to the Islamist regime that seeks to destroy our country. Let's be blunt. Let's be honest with each other. Now, the President has also put out a statement about these leaks. He's not at all happy about these leaks. And here's what he said. Numerous stories from the fake news media have been circulating stating that General Daniel Kane, sometimes referred to as Raising Cain, is against us going to war with Iran. The story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone and is 100% incorrect. General Kaine, like all of us, would like not to see war. But if a decision is made on going against Iran at a military level, it is his opinion that it will be something easily won. He knows Iran well and that he was in charge of Midnight Hammer, the attack on the Iranian nuclear development. It is a development no longer, but rather was blown the smithereens by a great B2 by our great B2 bombers. Raisin Cain is a great fighter and represents the most powerful military anywhere in the world. He's not spoken of not doing Iran or even the fake limited strikes that I've been reading about. He only knows one thing, how to win. And if he's told to do so, he will be leading the pack. Everything that has been written about a potential war with Iran has been written incorrectly and purposefully. So I am the one that makes the decision. I would rather have a deal than not. But if we don't make a deal, it will be a very bad day for that country and very sadly its people, because they are great and wonderful and something like this should never have happened to them. That is as clear as one can imagine. And that was issued two hours ago. Two hours ago. When we return, I want to play for you the case that I made on fox as I've made here to the American people. Mark levin.

With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago, is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal strong security. But Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate megastores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Durbin's failed policies before. His last big banking regulation backfired, leading to higher costs and fewer benefits for American families. Tell Republican senators, stop Durbin's government takeover of your credit card before it's too late. Learn [e-mail] that's guardyourcard.com paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition,

Making your weekend even better. This is the best of Mark Levin.

Now this Democrat Party wants to burn down the system. Open borders, no deportations, illegal aliens treated as citizens, no voter id. Destroy the Supreme Court. You know, they attacked the president for what he said about the court and the justices. But not once has he proposed increasing the number of seats so he can appoint more justices. Not once. And yet he comes under withering attack, even from elements at National Review and so forth. How dare you speak about a justice that way. Yeah, right. Okay, like they're kings or queens or something. But they're not. We've got a real Problem. We've got this Mandami in New York City. Cops are pelted with snowballs the other day. It's on video. I'm sure you've seen it. He says it's just a snowball fight. Nobody's going to be prosecuted. That's called assault. Assault. And he was at a mosque in Queens on Friday where the imam called for killing of infidels at one point. But he likes that mosque. Because he's an Islamist. That's what he is. That's why Qatar supported him and literally supported his mother. And then we have people like Candace Owens, the devil in a dress, unless she's wearing pants. The things she has said about Erica Kirk are beyond belief. Beyond belief. Putting out now a multi part series, trashing her. The fact is she doesn't hold a candle to Erica Kirk in terms of class, immorality, faith. And then we have Tucker Kitarlsson in Saudi Arabia with this anti Israel, anti Semitism obsession and propaganda in a foreign country, in Saudi Arabia, trashing our ambassador,

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

trashing our president's foreign policy.

[Mark Levin]

I think people need to understand that Tucker Carlson is stabbing Donald Trump in the back, repeatedly, relentlessly, and doing it overseas in Qatar, in Saudi Arabia.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

Here we are on the precipice of

[Mark Levin]

a likely war with Iran and he

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

is in the Middle east giving aid and comfort to the enemy. He has defended Sharia law, he has defended Islam. He has attacked Christians, he has attacked Jews.

[Mark Levin]

This is a bad, evil bastard, this guy. Stupid as they come. A bad, bad guy. And the media, like Politico, US Ambassador causes uproar by claiming Israel is the right to much of the Middle East. That's not what he did. Political lies and libels. And they're not the only one. The rest of the media did it too. You want to know why? Because Tucker Carlson is an obsessed leaker. He works with the left wing media. He did when he was at Fox. He did from the Daily Caller. He tells you one thing, America, and does another. He trashes the press while he uses the press.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

So he plants these stories with political.

[Mark Levin]

A woman by the name of Felicia Schwartz who's a fraud and a phony and a fool. She pulled that crap on me this past June. She's fed a line and she regurgitates it. But so did the Washington compost and so did most of the rest of the media. And Katarlson creates a little foreign policy drama where our government has to step in and say no, that's not what the ambassador said. He doesn't believe in a fair fight. He doesn't believe in a real debate with facts. That's why I basically told him to go to hell. That and he trashed my family. I don't debate with people, trash my family and promote Hitler and Jew hatred and Christian hatred. There's nothing to debate. What is to discuss. They need to be crushed some way somehow. And there he is. He's a traitor. My video podcast today, I elaborate on this at great length. I explain about Benedict Arnold, I explain about Father Coughlin and I explain that Carlson's worse. And you can get it today fresh off of rumble and YouTube, Liberty's voice. And I encourage you to listen to it and to spread it as I encourage you to continue to listen to this program and let people know about it on radio. State of the Union president has done some fantastic things for this country. Not so many as a matter of fact. On the economy, which I hope he'll discuss. I got to believe he will. On immigration, on trying to confront Jew hatred and Christian hatred. He's got a tremendous record. And imagine if the Democrat Party were a moderate party and we give him a break and get the hell off his back. But that's not what they are. They would like to destroy the economy. They would like to destroy citizenship and our national sovereignty. They would like to do all these things so you turn to them and elect them. Then they change the way this government works so they never lose again. That is what they did in California. That is what they did in New York you got a horrendous governor in New York you've got a horrendous governor in most of these states, these blue states. And they all been radicalized. They all know that's where the power is. If they want to be taken, quote unquote seriously, that's where they need to go. Now, Tucker Carlson was actually on Saudi state owned tv. I want you folks all over the country, central Pennsylvania, especially people who worked at the Pentagon on 9 11. People who were in the Twin towers that are no longer there on 9 11. Saudi Arabia was behind 911 and the slaughter of Americans. The greatest act of terrorism ever against the United States of America. The greatest slaughter of Americans ever in the United States of America. And he's over there giving a speech on state owned Saudi tv trashing our President's foreign policy, trashing the prime minister of Israel, trashing Jews. That is not normal, is it America? And the media keeps calling him conservative, far right American pundit. He is not conservative. His economic policies are much Closer to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders than they are to Milton Friedman or Von Mises. That's the truth. I dug deeply into this video podcast, so I encourage you to take a look. And you'll learn a lot about Benedict Arnold that you didn't know. You'll learn a lot about Father Coughlin that you didn't know. And you'll learn about a lot about Tucker Carlson that you didn't know. And yes, this is relevant to what goes on in this country. Very relevant. Tucker Carlson's father was a great patriot. His name was Richard Carlson. He worked in the Reagan administration. He was a Democrat. He was a neocon, a moderate. I want to hear what he said. Joel Mowbray, good man. Christian evangelical, as I recall. Could be Catholic. I apologize. And worked with Richard Carlson for many years. And I played this for you some time ago. But he linked to it. It's very important. Listen to this. Cut 17. This is Tucker Carlson's father. Go.

[Interviewee (Expert on Islam and Middle East)]

We have a moderate Muslim speaking program where we send people out to appear on college campuses or to be in the media and so on, who moderate Islam. The majority of Islamists who are perfectly good citizens and who don't follow radical Islam, which we consider an enemy. Radical Islam is clearly an enemy of the United States and of the West.

[Interviewer]

As you know, there have been articles written that accuse you all. I don't know if it's accusation, but it says it's a pro Zionist group, not really interested in terrorism, but more interested in Zionism.

[Interviewee (Expert on Islam and Middle East)]

Well, I'd say consider the source. They come from the people who use the word Zionist a lot.

[Interviewer]

The American Conservative is one of them. Pat Buchanan's publication.

[Interviewee (Expert on Islam and Middle East)]

Okay, all right. I didn't know. Oh, I remember that article actually. Actually was not uncomplimentary in some ways.

[Interviewer]

No, and I didn't mean it as an accusation, but they said that was the foundation and the reason that a lot of Jewish philanthropists funded this thing in the first place.

[Interviewee (Expert on Islam and Middle East)]

That's not necessarily true, but we do. We run a program for college students in. And we do it at the University of Tel Aviv and Tel Aviv University. And we. But we chose Israel because Israel is a country under siege and it's a democracy in a part of the world where there are no democracies and it's under constant irregular terrorist attack and threat. So it seemed like a logical place. If you're going to study certain diseases, you might go to Africa. In the case of terrorism, going to Israel is a good place to go. That may be what's stuck in their craw. I don't know.

[Interviewer]

I don't even know it's a craw. But one of the things you find interesting is that these organizations often have a lot of the same people on it. But the reason I ask you that is for sure what, where does this strong motivation come from for these organizations? And I know you've seen people give money. Why do they give money? To make these things happen. What do they want out of?

[Interviewee (Expert on Islam and Middle East)]

Well, I think in the case of the people on our board, they ask for nothing. And you know, we have our board of advisors and we do have Democrats. It's not all on the right. We have Donna Brazile is one of them. Chuck Schumer is another one. Donna Brazile, who's whose foreign policy views are pretty damn sensible.

[Interviewer]

Joseph Lieberman, my view.

[Interviewee (Expert on Islam and Middle East)]

Yeah. Joe Lieberman.

[Interviewer]

I mean they're Louis Free, Newt Gingrich.

[Interviewee (Expert on Islam and Middle East)]

Yes.

[Interviewer]

Gary Bauer, Bill Kristol, Dick Lamb, former

[Interviewee (Expert on Islam and Middle East)]

governor of and there are differences between those people, how they stand on abortion, how they stand on other issues. I, I don't know. I could guess it some of it. There's no unanimity of opinion. But I think all of them are public spirited people. I know most of those people who Benjamin Louis Freeh I know really well. They are enormously interested in what happens to America and they're big defenders of democracy and I think that's the reason they do it. They get nothing out of it. All they do is have get put upon in one form or another. You know, lots of people like that. They are genuinely, honestly motivated.

[Mark Levin]

The foundation for the Defense of Democracies he was chairman. This group comes under withering attack from his son or sons and others as a front for the Jews in Israel. His father obviously wasn't Jewish or Israeli and he worked in the Reagan administration. His father was a very decent man. I met him twice and he couldn't have been nicer. He could not have been nicer. And let me suggest that his father would be appalled at the things this son is saying within Qatar or Saudi Arabia or in his little hideout in Maine. The Democrats are good at being drama queens. They're not very good at much else. They destroy things. You know what's interesting about this, as I think about it, when you look in the Middle east, do the Palestinians ever build anything? No, they destroy things. Well, that's not true. Tunnels. They're good at tunnels. They'd probably be great at building subway systems. I'm just guessing, But you've got several million Palestinians they get billions and billions and billions of dollars from the UN and the EU communist regimes. They've got billionaires who run the Damn thing, about 10 of them, multi billionaires. But they keep refugee camps because they're the biggest propaganda opportunity that they have. And what's been done for science or technology or medicine or anything of the kind? Nothing. Zero. Because it's a fake identity. Palestinians invented in 1965 by an Egyptian by the name of Arafat. Arafat was never, quote, unquote a Palestinian. He was an Egyptian. And people explain how this whole thing was created by the Soviet Union because Israel refused to align itself with Russia, the Soviet Union, and aligned itself with the United States. There was a great tug of war that was going on early on. I also think about what people say, look at what we give to the Israelis. You know, it's interesting. Let's turn that around just for a moment. We spend tens of billions of dollars to protect ourselves from Islamist terrorists. We worry about terrorists coming into this country. They are not coming from Israel, are they? They are coming from throughout the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, funded by Qatar, coming out of Egypt, coming out of Iran, coming out of Syria. They are not coming out of Israel. We give those countries billions and billions in advanced weaponry. The Israelis take our weaponry, they literally upgrade it and then they give the technology to Lockheed Martin or whatever the company is, go out and look at it, read it on the Internet. They take the F35, they make it a long distance fighter, jet fighter and with heavier armaments. And the CEO at Lockheed Martin or whatever the company was, maybe it was General Dynamics, I don't remember. They said that is absolute genius worth billions and billions of dollars. But look, I'm just one voice. I'm just one voice. There's a whole gaggle of big mouths out there and others, I'm sure they drown me out. Wonderful relationship, the America and Israel. Wonderful. That can't be said with any Arab country.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

None.

[Mark Levin]

We always have to look over our shoulder.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

We always have to prepare for the

[Mark Levin]

terrorists that come out of those countries. Saudi Arabia, 9 11, Qatar, 9 11, Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood that spawned what? Al Qaeda? Hamas, Islamic Jihad. Looking over our shoulder now, Turkey,

[Political Advertiser/Commercial Voice]

really

[Mark Levin]

modern Turkey, founded by Ataturk. Well they've destroyed him and everything about it. Another Islamist run regime. National socialist Islamist regime, by the way.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

So tonight you're going to see the

[Mark Levin]

State of the Union address right after the program. And you're going to see the Democrats making a spectacle as they, as they believe they should control the house and the Senate and the presidency as they are plotting and scheming to do exactly that, with more congressional districts, more illegal aliens, making sure voter fraud does take place because they don't want voter id counting on the Supreme Court especially, especially the weak phony conservatives, of which there are two or three, depending on the issue to give them their birthright citizenship. Oh, yes, and here's Hakeem Jeffries today, the wannabe speaker of the House because he's so smart and he's got so many great ideas, the so called wannabe speaker of the House. Cut five, go. For those who choose to attend. How would you like to see them behave? Well, listen, it's my expectation that members who choose to attend will be there in silent defiance, of course, skeptical of the remarks that the President is going to try to deliver in terms of his spin. There you go. And the others won't be there. He said they'll be out at another event. So he said. That's his expectation. No, that's his directive. That's his order. And when the order goes out from the top of the Democrat Party pyramid, they all follow like lemmings. They're all clicking their heels. Clicking their heels. Here is Representative Angie Craig, Democrat, Minnesota. They have a press conference telling you how they're going to be defiant. Cut six, go. And I'll just end with this. I would rather stick forks in my eyes than be here tonight to listen to Donald Trump talk about the State of the Union. I have a better idea. Why don't you stick a sock in your big mouth, you disrespectful kook. I'm so sick. Sick of these people who have no class and no respect for these institutions. Mark Levin,

You're listening to the best of Mark Levin.

Most of you listened and watched the President's State of the Union. It was absolutely fabulous. And we'll take a little time discussing it. Some of the highlights. I'm sure you've heard a lot today, but you haven't heard from me. We got three full hours and we're going to make maximum use of every second. So we are going to do a deep dive into that. But before we do, ladies and gentlemen, this is becoming absurd. This fan dance with the Islamist Nazi regime in Tehran. Our forces are in place. Nobody can match, nobody can match the military assets, the American military assets that are in the Middle East. The Islamist Nazi regime has no intention of abiding by any negotiated agreement. And this has gone on long enough. I have about had it with the isolationists. They remind me of the hippies of the 1960s. They remind me of the anti Semites of the 1930s. They have their own father, Coughlin in the form of Tucker Kitarlson. Mental midgets. Bigots with their own agendas. Getting rich of undermining my country. Our country, the United States of America. Stabbing the commander in chief in the back. Repeatedly smearing the United States armed forces. And making alliance with the enemy. I've had enough. We red blooded Americans don't believe in any of this. We're not talking about forever wars. We're not talking about interventionism. We're not talking about warmongering or anything else.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

We have an enemy. An enemy that has killed a thousand of our people. That has maimed thousands and thousands of our people. We have an enemy that wants to destroy our civilization. The entire western civilization. We have an Islamist Nazi enemy

[Mark Levin]

that

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

wants to build nuclear weapons to blow us off the face of the earth. There is no peace with an enemy like this. A genocidal, mass murdering regime. And it is a betrayal of our children and our grandchildren to let this go on. To leave this enemy in place. When they build up enough technological might with the help of the communist Chinese, the fascistic Russians, the inbreds of North Korean God knows who else, where. They have tens of thousands of intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. Now we hear biochemical warheads. Enough is enough. They are weaker now than they've ever been. No, it doesn't mean they are weak per se, but they are weaker now than they have ever been. Thanks to the Israeli military, thanks to the support of the Israeli military by the American military, they are reconstituting their nuclear program. They are never going to give it up because you, Mr. And Mrs. America, you're the target. You're the target. We know it because they say it. I never thought I'd live a day when a regime that tries to assassinate our president not once but twice still exists. We're reaching a point. We're reaching a point of absurdity. Any paper agreement with this enemy, like any paper agreement with Hitler in the Third Reich, is surrender. It is surrender

[Mark Levin]

and you will have,

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

and we will have all of us have surrendered to a regime

[Mark Levin]

that has

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

the intention of slaughtering our children and grandchildren. What will they say about us

[Mark Levin]

when

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

they have to confront this enemy? You see how they slaughter babies and women and children. Life means nothing to them. Death means everything to them. There's no negotiation. There's no diplomacy. There's no envoy. There's no Secretary of State. There's no Secretary of Defense. There's no President of the United States that can persuade them otherwise.

[Mark Levin]

They are not going to go anywhere unless we send them to hell. Some of you may not think that this is our fight. And you are dead wrong. I understand the Jew haters who want

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

you to believe that this is Israel's war. And to them I say go to hell. Israel, their soldiers, their citizens have carried the weight of the world on their shoulders as they have fought this enemy, this enemy which surrounds it. They are doing us a favor. They're doing the West a favor. They're doing civilized human beings a favor. They defend their own people. Jew, Christian, Muslim, Arab. While Europe sits on its hands,

[Mark Levin]

We

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

have people in our own country

[Mark Levin]

that

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

we've allowed to come into our country that are trying to destroy us from within. They have devoured the Democrat Party. They have devoured most of the media. You see their spokesman with a variety of Arab names and Muslim names on tv, on the Internet, who throw in with the Marxists and the isolationists telling

[Mark Levin]

us no war, no war. We haven't committed acts of war against Iran. They have committed acts of war against us. The regime is an illegitimate regime. It is a terrorist organization that has taken over a country. They don't care if they kill a

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

thousand, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 1 million Iranians. And do you think they give a damn if they fire nuclear missile into the center of New York City or Los Angeles or Chicago or Washington or you name it, they don't. This is going to get worse. And even if we take out that

[Mark Levin]

regime,

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

it is still going to get worse. Because the enemy is among us. The enemy is among us and they tell us they are the enemy. They tell us what they are going to do to us

[Mark Levin]

and the left,

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

whether it is the teachers unions or the media or the Democrat Party faculty at our Ivy League schools, they give them aid and comfort.

[Mark Levin]

They align with them, the weak underbelly of the West. Now it's time to speak up. It's time to be heard. Enough time has gone by. Almost half a century.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

What are we waiting for? There is no perfect time. There is no perfect opportunity. But there are good times and good opportunities to use the advantage. Our economic advantage, our military advantage, our intelligence advantage, our technological advantage

[Mark Levin]

to smite

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

this 7th century poison

[Mark Levin]

off the face of the earth before they do it to us. We don't seek war. We don't seek war. We've never sought war. The enemy lives war. It lives terrorism. It's a death cult. There's a lot of voices in this country, some of them who speak broken English, some of them who speak perfect English, Who want us to surrender through inaction, through isolationism. They tell you they oppose war.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

The problem isn't that. The problem is the enemy does not oppose war. The problem is the enemy is constantly preparing for war. Communist China is a war machine. Putin doesn't care if he loses 10 million of his own people. And the Islamist Nazis, they actually live to die.

[Mark Levin]

We've danced long enough, We've prepared long enough. Time is no longer on our side.

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

It is enabling the enemy, the enemy, the Islamist Nazis in Iran,

[Mark Levin]

to get

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

cutting edge, sophisticated military technology capable of sinking our ships. From the Communist Chinese. If we continue to wait and wait and negotiate and negotiate, which is exactly what the enemy wants us to do, our advantage diminishes with each passing day.

[Mark Levin]

No American, no American wants to see American boys and girls and men and women die or be maimed on the battlefield. In this case, on our naval ships, in our jets and our bombers. But we're the only nation on the face of the earth that has the full capacity to put an end to this in defense of our children and grandchildren, in defense of our allies and friends. Look at the Iranian people. Have you ever seen a braver people? Have you ever seen a more courageous people?

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

They are an example.

[Mark Levin]

And when we have people in our country who go overseas and meet with

[Guest or Co-host (possibly a military or foreign policy expert)]

the President of Iran and meet with the Emir of Qatar and go to Saudi Arabia that attacked us on nine, 11, these are traitors. These are traitors. I don't give a damn how many followers they have, how many pre pubescent followers they have, how many anti Semites follow them, how many Pakistani Muslims from overseas follow them as they grift their way. History will denounce them.

[Mark Levin]

History will treat them like the devil that they are. The time is now. The time is now to rally the American people to our cause. The cause of liberty and security.

[Audio Clip of President Donald Trump]

Mark,

[Mark Levin]

The great one makes your weekend even better. This is the best of Mark Levin.

President's State of the Union speech. Last night was, I think the greatest State of the Union speech I've ever heard. And there have been some great ones by Reagan and so forth. And you know what really made the difference? The man. He's very charismatic and he talks like the rest of us. Really, really fantastic. And on these core principles that he has, quite conservative. You don't have to agree with everything, it doesn't matter. On this issue of Iran, the president seemed to be really Focusing in like a laser here. He said this. Cut 11, go.

[Audio Clip of President Donald Trump]

Just over the last couple of months with the protests, they've killed at least it looks like 32,000 protests. 32,000 protesters in their own country. They shot them and hung them. We stopped them from hanging a lot of them with the threat of serious violence. But this is some terrible people. They've already developed missiles that can threaten Europe and our bases overseas. And they're working to build missiles that will soon reach the United States of America. After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program and in particular nuclear weapons. Yet they continue starting it all over. We wiped it out. And they want to start all over again and are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions. We are in negotiations with them. They want to make a deal. But we haven't heard those secret words. We will never have a nuclear weapon.

[Mark Levin]

Cut 12, go.

[Audio Clip of President Donald Trump]

My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. But one thing is certain. I will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen. And no nation should ever doubt America's result. We have the most powerful military on Earth. I rebuilt the military in my first term. We're going to continue to do so. Also, we just approved a trillion dollar budget. We have no choice. We have to be strong because hopefully we will seldom have to use this great power that we built together. It's really called peace through strength. And it's been very, very effective.

[Mark Levin]

The President hit on a lot of very core important subjects for the American people, immigration certainly being one of them. And he really did something that was very important, wasn't a gimmick, it was very important. And that was about do you stand with the citizens or do you stand for the illegal aliens? Which do you stand for? And the Democrats sat on their hands. Sat on their hands. Cut 13. Mr. Producer, go.

[Audio Clip of President Donald Trump]

If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

[Mark Levin]

And they're sitting on their hands at the Democrats. This is how they view American citizens. I want you to remember this. In the midterm elections, every Democrat sat on their hands. Every single Democrat in the House and the Senate, not one stood up for the American citizen. This went on for two minutes. This is a big distinction between the two parties. America. I can't believe hard working Democrats, Democrats who served in the military, Democrats who are firefighters and police, don't believe that the number one job of our government is to protect the American citizen. Citizen. Now, I could cut off the clapping like most hosts would, but I'm not going to.

[Audio Clip of President Donald Trump]

Isn't that ashamed? You should be ashamed of yourself. Not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities.

[Mark Levin]

By the way, stop. The person yelling is Omar and Talib. They're sitting right next to each other yelling at the president who's defending American citizens. And not a single Democrat stood up. Not one. I want to play for you, President Trump and Bill Clinton, they weren't together, but I want to play for you some of what you heard with Donald Trump. And then I want to play for you, Bill Clinton in 1995 and how far the Democrat Party has sunk in 30 years. 30 years. It used to be the party for only legal immigration. They aggressively deported illegal aliens. They helped secure the border. Not anymore. Not anymore. Take a listen. Cut 21. Go.

[Audio Clip of President Donald Trump]

If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.

[Audio Clip of Bill Clinton]

Not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more. By hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes. To better identify illegal aliens in the workplace, as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years. And we must do more to stop it.

[Mark Levin]

And during that State of the Union, Republicans and Democrats got to their feet, out of their chairs, out of their seats, and applauded Bill Clinton. This used to be bipartisan. It's clearly not anymore. As the Democrat Party has sought to change the population in America, they've also changed the nature of the Democrat Party. If you're an American citizen, you need to really think about what you just heard and what you saw last night. The Democrats do Not believe that the first responsibility of government is to protect the American citizen. Ladies and gentlemen, the only reason, the only reason, as John Locke would explain, that we have voluntarily joined into this government is so it represents us, Mr. And Mrs. America, the American citizen. If the politicians don't serve us, the American citizen, then who the hell do they serve? Mark the vin.

We're giving you nothing but the best, the best of Mark Levin.

You know, you're my radio family and we share a lot of information, and I'm so honored that you're out there. And I stepped back, started to think about what's swirling around us. You and me, you, Mr. And Mrs. America. You know how they say history repeats itself? Well, some history, my God, better never repeat itself. Those of us who are old enough, we're taught or read on our own what took place a hundred years ago. We shook our heads. We saw the black and white films. Germany was an advanced country, an advanced science, advanced mathematics. Hundreds of years of culture. Not a third world country, not a backward country. So how does. How does a country like that produce an entire Nazi movement. And one of the worst mass murders in the history of mankind? It happens when early on, the citizenry, well, they do not want to believe what is taking place, so they ignore. Happens when you have weak politicians who acquiesce to. Happens when other people do not take it seriously. This is how it happens. What starts out as a cabal winds up as a movement. It's the way totalitarianism often works. And then one day, it's so bad, you aren't concerned about it, you're worried about it. But it's too late. It's too late. We see this happening to Jews and we see this happening to Christians all over the world. Christians are being targeted. In Africa, there just aren't enough Jews. So the Islamists are slaughtering Christians, black Christians, because in Africa, most of the people are black and they're slaughtering them. Now, typically, you hope that advanced Western societies will, at a minimum, speak out. At a minimum. Now, the 1930s saw a movement, an isolationist movement. The Depression hit and the isolationists thought it was was the time to exploit it. How to create foils to create enemies. And it was the Jews. The Jews. The Jews controlled the banks. The Jews controlled foreign policy. The Jews controlled commerce. The Jews. The Jews controlled entertainment, the movies. They controlled everything. This tiny, tiny percentage of the population. Money changers, They're running the country. The Rothschilds, they're running the country. Now, some of you may have thought this is Just too preposterous. This must have ended with Hitler, the end of World War II. But it has not. It's back for several reasons. Among other reasons, we've imported the enemy Islamists. We've imported Islamists who know how to play the game. They're so brazen though. They're so out in the open. They're telling us exactly what they want to do. They're in a hurry. So let's get past the Jew part, let's get to the Christian part and let's just destroy the entirety of the United States. That's why people who seek to divide we Americans based on faith and race and so forth, these are diabolical people. We need our unity now more than ever. We need our Judeo Christian belief system now more than ever. We need to hold tight onto it. We have left wing Democrat lawyers who serve as judges who will not allow the administration to deport these people. We have Democrat governors and mayors who bring out their typical militia. The militia, you know, the paid for so called protesters, they use their billionaires to pay for them. They have their source, prosecutors not to prosecute them. They have their Democrats in Congress who have shut down a very important element within our government relating to national security and airline security in order to protect their new constituents, their militia, the Islamists. The Islamists and the Marxists have aligned the same end as I have been writing and speaking. The same end, the destruction of our civilization. A rejection of the Declaration, a rejection of the Enlightenment, certainly rejection of Jews and Christians. See, they know that Jews and Christians are tied at the hip then as elements in the Republican Party, but they're not really in the Republican Party. You have individuals or more of the neo fascist type. They call themselves nationalists when they're not calling themselves populists. I call myself an American. They're playing right out of the 1930s playbook, out of the America First Committee that was formed in the 30s beginning by students at Yale University, or is it Yale College? I guess it became the largest pacifist, so called anti war organization in America, 800,000 members. It had prominent members on its board including Henry Ford, who was a devout Jew hater, and Charles Lindbergh, Very articulate, a hero, gave one of the most grotesque anti Semitic speeches of any public official. And Father Coughlin, who sounds very much like this woman who was on the President's Religious Liberty Committee. She's Father Coughlin in a dress. That is when she's dressed. He was one of the most popular radio hosts in America, just as Tucker is a very popular podcaster. He was platformed today by Megyn Kelly. Now, these are people you wouldn't want to have dinner with. These are people you wouldn't want to be around with. Carlson's comments are those of a Goebbels like Hitler wannabe. He would have fit in beautifully, and I am not kidding with the Third Reich beautifully. He got down all the. All the hate language. He would have sided, in my view, with Germany against the United States, the way he sides with Iran against the United States and Putin against the United States while he pretends to be Mr. America. But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. Where are the Republicans? There's a few of them. I'm tired of them whispering to me, telling me how awful Tucker is and patting me on the back for taking him on. That's been going on for almost a year. Where are they? Why aren't they condemning him? Why aren't they condemning him and his Goebbels, like propaganda and the sort of Hitlerian movement he hopes to build? This is exactly what happened in the 30s, actually the late 20s. They had a parliament there, and members of the parliament were mostly silent in the face of Hitler. There's a long story that can be told about all of this. You can check it out on my. My video podcast. Is it still downloading? Mr. Producer? We're good. So it just got up there because we had some technical issue, Liberty's Voice. And I walk all through it, but Lindbergh would go around the country giving speeches, and this America First Committee was made up of communists, fascists, regular Americans who got sucked into it. And we were attacked by the Japanese December 7, 1941, and they disbanded three days later. Limburg was disgraced. So were the others. Disgraced. Now we were at war. See, the enemy didn't attack Jews and Christians. They attacked the United States of America. They attacked our Navy. The enemy today, Iran. They want to blow us off the face of the Earth. They are obsessed with getting nuclear weapons. Anybody who thinks some kind of a deal, some kind of a negotiation, diplomacy, some kind of a paper agreement will stop them is dead wrong. And if that is the outcome of this, I pray to God it is not, then we will have surrendered to it. In the name of a ceasefire, in the name of a peace agreement, whatever it is, we will have surrendered to the enemy, despite the massive armadas that are there in the Middle East. It's time for people to speak out. I'm calling on the Republicans, elected Republicans in Congress, Republican governors, Senators, Congressmen, state assemblymen, state senators. Your silence is deafening. It's disastrous for the country. It is disastrous for the party. It's disastrous for our foreign policy. It's time that Carlson be Persona non grata. They do not have his way walking through the White House anymore. He's kryptonite.
