Now let's get to the show. He's here . He's here . Now broadcasting them from the underground command puzzle deep in the fouls of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a non discriced building, we've once again made contact with our leader park Love end Hello America, Mark Livin here our number eight seven seven three eight one three eight one eight seven seven three eight one three eight one one Mio Mile pizza pie . Mio Mile pizza pie. You know what? Let's open the phones. eight, seven, seven, three, eight, one, three, eight one. I wasn't even going to do this. I've now spooked Mr. Producer and Mr. Collscreener. You know what's interesting, ladies and gentlemen to me. You look at these NATO countries , and not one of them helped us in this war, not one . You look what England with its quizzling leader, so called leader, Starmer , has done to their military, has done to their country . He won't lift the finger to support us. You look at France Macron, the president has spent a lot of time with him. I'm not sure why, but he won't lift the finger to help us either . Troubling, isn't it? We're taking a third of our jets out of there, apparently . Then you look at this little country of Israel, nine, nine and a half million people , the third largest air force in the world . Some of the best fighters in the world, some of the best intelligence in the world . We didn't go to war with Iran on our own. The president decided to go to war . He wanted to take out those nukes correctly, absolutely one hundred percent . And we allied with Israel . The Saudis weren't involved, Qatar wasn't involved, Egypt wasn't involved, Turkey, a NATO country they weren't involved, who was involved . So together, the United States and Israel were a one two punch, incredibly powerful . Within twenty four hours , Komani was taken out . The top tier was taken out . That took a lot of intelligence, mostly the Mossad and human intelligence in Iran that had been working with Israel from day one . Our air force , our Navy, the munitions we have are second to none . And Israel is a mighty, mighty powerful force for a tiny country, for any country . Israel has a larger air force than France and a larger air force than England for God's sake and a larger air force than Germany. And it's now selling advanced technology, military technology G inermany and India and Greece and other countries . It has improved our F thirty five . It improved our Bradley because there's so many battles that they've had to fight . So why would we pick a fight with Israel ? What is going on? They out of control ? Is the Prime Minister an issue ? Well, they weren't out of control and he wasn't an issue last June when they cleared the field for twelve days in Iran And they weren't out of control . And the Prime Minister wasn't a problem when we had decided to go to war on february twenty eighth . As I recall, our great secretary of war and our great head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , Hag Seth and Cain , they had daily press conferences talking about the great achievements of our military side by side , in fact talking about like they 've never done this before. We've never seen anything like this before. Now , three months later Netanyahu is a crazy F . He can't be restrained because Hezbollah is firing missiles and flying drones into their country on a daily basis under what's called a ceasefire . They're literally having to move their population, depopulate northern Israel. Now that's like depopulating northern New Jersey. It's a tiny country . And then they started firing these missiles and sending these drones into central Israel, all at the direction of Iran , all at the direction of Iran . This Hezbollah has murdered hundreds and hundreds of our service personnel , including marines, over two hundred marines in a marine barrack in Beirut. I believe JD Vance was a Marine. Wasn't he, Mr. Producer? They blew up two of our embassies , killed over killed over one hundred of our personnel , Kobar towers in Saudi Arabia, more military personnel slaughtered . That's just three instances . Hezbollah was never part of Lebanon. Hezbollah was sent into Lebanon by Iran in the late seventies during the Revolution in the early eighties They assassinated the president, the duly elected president of Lebanon. Lebanon really was a beautiful, beautiful country right there on the Mediterranean . People had to flee . It was a majority Christian country. Now it's about thirty five percent, forty percent Christian. They are abused, they are killed . They don't want Hezbollah there. The government's not strong enough to push them up because the government's been infiltrated by Hezbollah . The army's too weak . It can't outgun Hezbollah . And Hezbollah has remained as the most powerful military force that Iran has, given what Israel and the United States did to Iran. So Israel is left by itself to fight Iran's Hezbollah wing . The problem is Iran won't make an agreement unless we agree and the Arab countries agree that Israel leaves Lebanon and stops f iring in self defense . Now we get some mealy malgibrish from our side , which says, Yeah, you can do it, just don't do too much. Don't do it on Fridays, you know, it's just absurd in the middle of a war . Israel's not the first one yet again to fire at Hezbollah. Hezbollah fires at Israel, but they want to preemptively do to Hezbollah. What we and they did preemptively to Iran . They want to put an end to this . The Lebanese government, the president there, has made statement after statement saying Iran has no right to drag us into this agreement that Iran no say in our sovereign nation and they want Hezbollah disarmed and removed. So who's going to disarm and remove Hezbollah? In the early nineteen eighties, there was an agreement signed that Hezbollah would be disarmed and removed. They ripped it up in two years and there they are, decades later . But we so desperately want to deal and I understand it , but I'm focusing on one specific point . That the language and item number one basically says actually says that there that there will be a cessation of military operations and that war is permanently ended, permanently ended even before we have a final deal . And within that construct we include Lebanon . Now, you know Iran's going to have Hezbollah, as it did during the ceasefire, as it did today, by the way, fire multiple missiles into Israel. And you know Israel's not going to put up with that for long. Israel is not England. Israel is not France . And so it will be Israel that is going to be blamed. That's the setup if the deal quote unquote, doesn't go through through . Now we know that . The enemy knows that . So what's going on here ? Well, the enemy sees this, and you know what they see, man or those Americans desperate ? So, Hezbollah, you keep foreign missiles in there . And if Israel responds, of course, we'll break down the whole thing . So the Vice President made statements today. You can go online and catch it yourself that I thought were way over the top. He's accusing Cabinet members of attacking Donald Trump. We went back and looked. Others have gone back and looked. We can't find any such thing. I can't find it . If it's there, somebody will find it but we can't find it. If you're going to say it as vice president, then you need to have the receipts. And if not, you need to apologize . And it's not the first place or the last place where he's done this . And then he says, you know, you get two thirds of your arms from us . First of all, how does he has that number off the top of his head ? And so the alliance in which Israel provid es an enormous amount of intelligence. And they said today, hey, look, we have provided you with an extreme number of intelligence. We've saved a lot of American lives. We wanted to do that . And we have an expert John Sp encer, who's written at length and I've posted it how the Israelis take our equipment and improve it because they're actually battle hardened and much of our stuff is not. 've They've imp theyroved the F thirty five. They've improved most of our land vehicles . They've improved other jets . They've improved our missiles . And they just give us the technology. They're at the cutting edge of lasers. They're giving us the technology. Much of the technology we're going to use for the Golden Globe, even though they don't get credit from the administration is from Israel . And the Germans are buying that technology as are other countries . Now this isn't to brag about Israel to pat them on the back. This is to say what was said about them and our relationship was very inappropriate. Moreover, what wasn't said also was that the vast majority of money that they've been getting of the three point eight billion dollars. Think about that. three point eight billion dollars of the three point eight billion dollars never leaves our country. three point three billion of it stays right here and goes right into our industries paying for American jobs and pensions and health care right here. It's just a budget change . That is they move one number from the book to this book. I'm not denying it happens. I'm just explaining it's not, oh, here's three point eight billion dollars from the treasury , do whatever you want with it. That's not what it is . It's just very troubling to me that 's the That's the way they're treated in a memorandum of understanding after they fought side by side with us. You don't treat an ally that way. Or you're not going to have a lot of allies. That's the problem with NATO. We have allies in name only, on paper only. And we may well need them again because Iran's not going away Three hundred billion dollars . I looked it over . I've heard how this was explained, but the way it's being explained isn't the way it's in the memorandum of understanding. The bottom line for you folks is this they're going to get around three hundred billion could be more . Not directly from us . First, it'll be given to Mohammed who will give it to Spencer, Spencer will give it to Nancy, Nancy will give it to Fred, and then Fred will give it to the Iranian regime. Okay, big deal . We're going to lift sanctions immediately . We have twenty four billion dollars of their money. They're going to get the twenty four billion dollars . The Straits of Hormoz was opened immediately and it's reduced the price of gasoline, which is what we've wanted here . But it's not just that . There's only a sixty day period, a sixty day period, two months , in which what happens? In which there's free , unadulterated passage after that , the Iranians can charge and hence the Iranians will manage it . That has never been accepted before. When they that tried under Regan blew half their navy away in twenty four or forty eight hours . And it's a bad precedent because communist China has claimed the South China Sea is and it's built all these phony islands. No, that's international navigable waters . The Straits of Hermoud, that's international navigable waters , but not after this , not after this . Oh, in the nuclear part in their rich uranium part is all the way down number eight out of number fourteen. Number eight . And it doesn't say anything about how this will be handled. Nothing nothing definitive. But don't worry, Mark , it'll be sixty days worth. Well, don't give up leverage , don't give up leverage before that issue, nuclear weapons and nuclear dust , that is , uranium isn't resolved. It has to be resolved . Ballistic missiles aren't covered . Don't fund terror organizations , that's not covered . So I raise all these things because I want them to improve what's been done in the next sixty days in this deal that is inevitable. I'll be right back. Mark Lubin .

Mark Levin, the research arm of conservative media. Call in now eight seven seven three, eight one three, eight, , one, one . All right, Senator Ted Cruz on Capitol Hill , somebody named Nicholas Balase sticks a mic in his face, cut one, go. Just wondering if you could share your reaction to the Iran deal and Democrats saying they think the frozen assets could lead to more terror in the region. Giving billions of dollars to thee predator lunatics who want to murder us is not a good idea . I think the president, unfortunately , is receiving bad advice on this deal. What about the Tolls where the strait? It's another one that Democrats are criticizing for. Setting up Iran to be in charge of the Strait of Hormuz in perpetuity and to charge tolls is not in America's interest . In my view, the Ayatollah should not should not reap a single penny from the free transit of the seas. Do any of you disagree with that? I'm just curious . Call in if you agree, disagree ? Why is that controversial? That used to be the norm . Well, he's running for president. Well, so what if he is? A lot of people want to run for president. What does that have to do with anything? Well, that's why he's saying it, no, he's not. Ted Cruz is one of the most principled people he'll ever meet . But that position he's taken has been our position of our government, including in the first term of the president of the president . I mean, this is just common sense, right? Now, I think one of the reasons we agreed to some kind of a three hundred billion dollar fund of some kind that we wouldn't fund, that somebody else would fund and they'd get if they stand on their head and count the seven or whatever . I think the Iranians demanded reparations early on, we read about that. We talked about that. They wanted reparations . And I think what they did is they conceded a point of giving them access to money . And anyway you cut it, they're going to use that to rearm. They're going to use that to reinfor . And that's been done with them before. You're not going to buy these people off, okay ? You're not going to buy them off. When they believe Allah wants us slaughtered and anybody else who doesn't comp . And we see elements of this in our own country, don't we? With the radical Islamists, these imams, what they say and what you know , imagine a whole country run by this . Imagine that . Mhm . Now , I'm a big fan. My wife, we're both big fans of Pete Hags at the Secretary of War . She's known him a long time. I've known him a little while . Fairly long time, but not a long, long time, but anyway, he's a good guy. He's a great patriot. And he's at the NATO Defense Ministerial meeting in Belgium today . Now, he's going to have to say things to these European governments that he never would have to say to the Israeli government . In other words, the Israeli government doesn't need to be told to step up . You need to spend more on your def ense . Why are you always leaving it to us ? You're not contributing your fair share . You've never heard them say that about Israel, have you? You know that Netanyahu , we can't control him He wants to shoot down buildings and so forth. I just read to you from yesterday and I'm sure there's a list somewhere today all the missiles and the kind of missiles that were fired into Israel yesterday . They weren't too drones in the middle of a desert . And it was constant . It's constant. That's what terrorism is all about. It was a constant terror , constant . Terrible . Again , Thursday at Wednesday, Wednesday , ten fifteen in the morning , one IED, ten fifty seven two explos ive UAVs . twelve thirty five, nine rockets. twelve thirty seven, two rockets . twelve fifty one, a ballistic missile . twelve fifty six, two rockets . thirteen oh four, six rockets. It's constant . sixteen fifty three, two rockets, seventeen thirty one, three rockets . seventeen thirty eight , one rocket, eighteen twenty four, two rockets . eighteen thirty nine. We're talking about six hundred thirty nine in the evening. Five rockets, eighteen fifty, five rockets , eighteen fifty four, two rockets . nineteen twelve, five rockets , nineteen twenty one, four rockets. So the people are in a constant state of , you know , sheltering . And so they move. They have to leave their homes and their businesses . nineteen thirty seven, three rockets, nineteen forty six six, rockets, twenty fifty six, six rockets and so forth . Then the next day begins . One AM, five terrorists approached for a defense line. They killed them. six hundred and fifty seven in the morning. One explosive UAV , seven hundred and twenty eight, one explosive UAV , eight sixteen two explosive UAV's, eight twenty hundred and three another, explosive UAV , eight hundred fifty one, IED explosion. It goes on and on and on. So I ask you if you live in New Jersey and if something like this was going on, they were shooting these rockets from New York into New Jersey . And your governor said, You know what ? We have to depopulate Northern Jersey . twenty five percent of our landmass. You need to get out of there, you know? Newark, New Jersey , all the counties up there , Ridgewood, New Jersey, all the little towns, the big towns , we need to evacuate you to central central New Jersey . Then the rockets start to fly into central New Jersey . That's not two drones in the middle of a desert . And that's what they're facing Let me pick another place as I had before Mexico , right over the border in Mexico . All these rockets, a ballistic missile, morning, noon and night . Let's say they're shot into South Texas . You have to depopulate the entirety of South Texas to Central Texas . You'd have to depopulate Houston, Texas . And they're finding tunnels more sophisticated than Hamas because they had more money . They're finding massive inventories of more missiles . And they've said you can play defense, but not too rough. And they're saying, wait a minute, we need to go after these people and the head of the snake is in and around Beirut. Well, you while can't go near Beirut . And you do what you're told . Do what you're told. Now this is after we fought shoulder to shoulder against the enemy enemy . And then they're told, you know, if we hadn't done this, you would have been blown off the face of the earth. No, they wouldn't have been blown off the face of the earth . Just look what they did last June . It was their forces for twelve days who cleared the path . I think there's a lot of people whisperers They're very hostile to our country . They're like the woke isolationist pacifist appeasers . They're very giddy right now. They're happy . They're happy , they want to see Hezbollah defeat Israel. They want to see Iran defeat us . And I want to remind you something, underscore this. It's very, very important. You ready? Very important . For forty seven years , with very few exceptions , we did not hit back militarily against this enemy Reagan did it once, some of the others did it now and then but not,hing significant like Trump did. The launch of this military operation against Iran was noble, spectacular , historic, and completely successful. Then we hit the brakes . I believe somebody thought we'd done enough . Now let's negotiate. It was too soon because the military had another two weeks of targets they wanted to hit. How do we know? Because they said so . Two more weeks . But we couldn't we couldn't be patient enough in my view to do it . So that's where we are . And it is my hope that the sixty day period will be extended beyond that . And then as I proposed after the election, if that's the aim here , then we can act in a much more aggressive way. I don't know that that's the case. People surmise I hope it is, but that would give us the opportunity. If we lose the midterm elections, it won't be over this war . I just looked at the latest poll . Over eighty percent of the public, you know what the number one issue is the economy . Is that a surprise to anybody ? It's the economy . Well, it's a big deal the economy . It was always going to be the econom y. It was the economy before this war, it's the economy now and it'll be the economy on election day. And will the Republicans be capable of making an argument even with gas prices going down and interest rates steady and so forth and so on . That's my concern. Do they even know how to debate affordability ? Health care for all. And here's another problem There's another problem we're going to talk about this Saturday on life liberty in Levin with our friend Joe Contra . A significant percentage, over majority the Democrats believe in socialism over capitalism. Did you know that, Mr. Producer? So how do you even make an argument to these people? They want the government, they want government redistribution , they want high taxes that they know they'll avoid, but others will pay . That's where we're up against. It always amazes me that these so called socialists live in a capitalist system in which they earn a good living or they can earn a good living. They live a great life while preaching socialism. They don't live in a socialist system . They live in a capitalist system preaching socialism. Isn't that amazing? Many of them are multimillionaires . We've already talked about Bernie Sanders. He not only has three homes and is worth millions , he flies private . So does AOC , private jets . And when Bernie Sanders was asked about it, what did he say? He doesn't want to wait in line . Doesn't want to wait online. Well, you know what? Socialism is all about waiting in l ines. Bread lines, empty shelves, waiting in lines , waiting in lines. Why? Because socialism isn't an economic ide ology built on prosperity and wealth creation, it's built on redistribution and jealousy . I'll be right back. Mart Love and With Donald Trump back in office one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago is leading the charge to derail President Tedrump said I had every turn. And now 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 Senator 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 jeop ardy. 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.

You've been waiting a long time all hour, I know. I promise you. Well, lucky here, ladies and gentlemen. The New York Post, World News, Iran promises to help Hezbollah. Once assets are unfrozen, sanctions are lifted. What do you think of that ? JD, what are you going to do about this? What are you going to do about it, brother? Iran's initial peace deal with the U. S. sets the stage for Tehran to bolster Hezbollah's financial and political grip in Lebanon . Once cash begins to flow from unfrozen funds and oil deals , which is immediately, according to a new report . Under the MOU, Iran stands to gain hundreds of billions from post war investment, sanction relief and unfrozen funds. Now , you see, the Prime Minister of Israel is supposed to sit there and just shut up . He's an ingrate for having fought with us side by side against this enemy. Now this would be a thousand times worse than what existed there before we went to war with Iran . And Iran is promising to use the reconstruction funds to prop up its battered terror proxy in Lebanon sources familiar with the deal ing told Reuters , how many more of those people in Israel have to die because Western powerful countries tell them to back off Do their lives not mean anything ? In fact, Tehran reportedly promised the inflow of cash to Hezbollah as soon as possible, paving the way for the group to rebuild its military wing and political arm in war torn Lebanon, two regional diplomats and two senior Lebanese sources said Hezbollah's communications office confirmed Iran's public support for the terror group, which it has propped up for decades , including a transfer of one billion dollars last year, according to the U. S. Treasury Department. Why doesn't that Netanyahu shut up? The media office insisted Iran would continue to support Hezbollah regardless of the details of the retrieval of its funds. I told you before . I will be proven right, but unfortunately, the consequences will be grave. They're not hon goingor to any deal. They're going to do whatever they want to do once they get their money and all the pressure is on little Israel to comply. So they don't screw up the deal. I just read to you a whole list of miss iles that were fired yesterday . Can you imagine having to decide whether you're going to take off our government versus defend your people? Is it that hard of a decision? And yet you know you're going to be attacked as an ingrate, you know you're going to be attacked Outrageous, really absolutely outrageous . All right . What's the clock say, Mr Producer? Not enough time. So what we're going to do as soon as we come back is start talking to you folks who've been waiting a very long time all over the country. It's really a great honor to when you folks call and you want to talk about it from all over the country. I'll give you an example. Oregon, Florida, Montana, Newark , California , Illinois . That's That's why conservative talk radio is so fantastic . Because we really feel the pulse of you, the people . We hear from you, and of course , I feel we're a big, big radio family . And they don't understand that online. They don't understand that in TV, and that's fine by me. All fourteen, some million of you. We'll be right back .

Now broadcasting them from the underground command puzzle deep in the foul s of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondescript building , we've once again made contact with our leader at its love end Hello America. Mark Levin here, our number eight seven seven three eight one three eight one eight seven seven three eight one three eight one . I promise to go to the calls and that's exactly what we're going to do. Pub , Portland, Oregon, the Great . That's not right. Can we get the correct call letters there? Please. Go right ahead . Yeah, Mark, a longtime listener , first time caller. Thank you. I have a quick question for you . You know, we see what President Trump is doing . If you were president, what would the situation look like? What would you be doing in this situation because I have already said what I would have done, which is I would not have had a ceasefire for two weeks . And I also would have armed, I mean, if my military's telling me we have some targets left, it'll take about two weeks to take them out, I'd take them out . I would also do what Reagan did under the Reagan doctrine. I would have been training and arming Iranians Some experts say we can't do that. We don't know how to do that, but we certainly knew how to do it in the nineteen eighties under Bill Casey and under Secretary Weinberger and under President Reagan , so I would have done that. But here's the thing about a question like that. You see what the call letter is, Mr. Peducer? Here's what I would have done with a situation like that . I would have said, This is what I want to do. I would have called in the best generals I could. You're asking me, I'm not a general edge, but I know what policies were followed in the past, and I'd want to have it laid out for me. The president said the goal was never regime change He said that a few days ago . Okay, fine. Now we have this situation. For me, the goal would be regime change because it's the only way to guarantee no nukes , no uranium , no ballistic missiles , no terrorism it . That was a Nazi who called in, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry . We had a we had to drop him . We had to drop him. Very clever , but he couldn't ans wer what I said . Raymond, Savannah, Georgia, the great WTKS, go . And by the way, that's KUFO. Go ahead. Paula. I can't hear you. It's extremely important. I can't understand you sir. Apology . Okay . I can't understand . Hello ? Yes, go ahead. . The reason I'm calling is because I have an analogy that you might find interesting . Okay . Iran is like a cancer . Okay, and we attacked that cancer and we were going pretty well basically stage one, if you want to put it that way . What this deal does is say, okay, we have control of the cancer , but the cancer is going to eventually reach stage three and stage four . You gotta kill the cancer . If you leave the cancer in the body and if you know anybody that has had cancer , they might go into remission, but that cancer comes back . We've got to get rid of the cancer. We can't be messing around with this. I think that's a good analogy. Yeah, I think that's a very good analogy , Raymond . All right, you take care of yourself, thank you. All right, let's trace back that number. We're not going to let that guy get away with it, okay ? Already done. Thank you. These hit and run Nazis are not going to get away with it and I'm not going to allow them to get away with it . Jeffrey, and by the way, why is this a Jew thing? The president went to war for our country , for our country , to protect us from nuclear weapons . For forty seven years, Iran has been killing Americans , trying to assassinate our president and his daughter , funding Hezbollah that killed Marines , that killed sailors and others in Saudi Arabia. I mean, I go on and on and why is this a Jew thing for the Nazis? I don't understand. I really don't. Because Israel's fighting side by side with us against a common enemy , okay , what's wrong with that? When you have NATO countries that aren't fighting side by side with us and helping us ? Sick . Jeffrey, Tallahassee, Florida, the great WFL A rette ahead, please. Hey, first of all, on behalf of your listeners, I want to apologize for that man who called he's obviously a very sick person, Mark. Mark, I've got a bunch of foster dogs too, and wonderful. They pretty much keep they pretty much keep themselves together. But once in a while one of them gets out of hand I the alpha dog has to get in there and make the correction on that particular dog. when And the correction is done, I don't turn around and give him a treat . Now the fact that we have had this the fact that we have had this battle with Iran for over all these years and we are going to take the frozen assets that we have the ability to acquire for ourselves to pay back the hard working Israelis and America and us they hit our bed. They cost us billions of dollars in damage too . Yes. We need to we need to be reimbursed. The fact that we're not is just I sit here astounded but I'm a I'm a man that's had to live through the Vietnam War two. And it is sad to see. And I want to tell you , listen to your wife, pace yourself if we lose you , we lose a spokesman and an analysis of what's going on in America. Listen to your wife, pace yourself, buddy. Thank you so much. Very kind. Thank you, Jeffrey. Some people love me, some hate me. I don't know why they hate me. They just hate me because of my views and who I am. I can't fix that, and I'm not going to fix it . But those of you who are so loyal and so wonderful and have been for years . It's a special bond between us. This is something these podcasters will never understand with their bots and their foreign viewers and the rest of them . It's something they can never understand because they disrespect their audience, they play their audience , they try and fearmonger their audience. I just lay it out, folks. It's that simple . I treat you the way I wanted to be treated when I used to listen to talk radio as a young guy . And I was attracted to smart hosts, to interesting hosts and to hosts that told us , you know, what they really thought the truth. They weren't just doing a party line. I can tell you right now, if you listen to other shows that are playing right now , they're doing the party line . If the party line is right, I'll do the party line, but not because it's the party line . I had one guy post on the internet today, really a sick little guy with very few followers. Have I ever criticized Israel? Now, you've listened to me . I have strongly criticized their judicial system. I even wrote about it . I have strongly criticized their left wing media. I have strongly criticized some of their political parties, and I've criticized their electoral process . I've done all those things . Why does that now make me okay ? I call them as I see them, but I also know the difference between good and evil. I know the difference between democracy and terrorism. I know the difference between a nation that will fight to the last man and woman to save their people and a government that will slaughter their people fifty thousand in a weekend. I know the difference . Let's go to Luke. Troy, Montana, Sirius, XM satellite. Luke, how are you , sir? Hey, I'm doing good, Mark Levin. I want to apologize, apologize to you for that disgusting comment that guy made. That's totally not right. Well, first of all, let me say thank you and you don't have to apologize for anything in the prior call or two. I love you guys. You're great. Look, there's there's one in every crowd. So there you go. I love yes. I love you too, Mark. I'm a big fan of Yards. I'm a big fan of N etahany u, Israel, I support Israel. I support Trump. I'm a big fan of all that stuff. You must be a neocon warmonger . Right? Right in the middle of Montana. Go ahead, I'm listening. Yes, yes, yes. No, I wanted to let you know that I don't feel right about the Iranian deal . I think me personally, I think it's a sham. I think Trump and Netanyahu should go in , bump the hell out of that place, turn around and head home and turn that place into a stone age and be done with it. Because like you said, they're just going to turn around and we're going to go back to square number one and we're going to redo this all over again. I just don't matter . It's a matter of time and our kids are going to have to do it if we don't resolve this. I'm being quite honest and I'm very worried about it . We have four kids. We have two grandkids . I'm very, very worried about it . Yes. Well, anyways , Mark, take care. God bless you. You stay strong, my brother. I love Israel Trump, and I'm a huge supporter of you. Thank you, Luke. Thank you. That's Montana folks. Appreciate it. Let's go to Dave. I'm going right down the line, Newark, New Jersey, the great WABC, Dave, how are you, sir? I'm fine, Mark, and it's such a pleasure speaking to you. You are the man . Mark , I listen to you all the time and I know you're not happy with what President Trump at the deal he's made . But what I don't hear anywhere is anyone criticizing the Democrat Party for not Oh man, I don't know. Almost seriously I'm not trying to critic. Do you listen every day or no ? Yes, sir, I do. I've been trashing the hell out of the Democrats here and on Fox, I think, don't you, Mr Producer? Tell me the truth . You think so? I think so. But anyway, go right ahead. If I missed, I missed it, I do listen every day. I mean, I heard the Democrat Party say they were going to charge President Trump with war crimes . Okay , I've said that they're aiding and abetting the enemy . I said that their broadcasts and their comments are being used by the enemy on Iranian TV . I attacked their efforts at the War Powers Act to try and obstruct the president with an unconstitutional act and they didn't have the vote. So it was performative and it was problematic . I said if the Democrats were in power, the enemy would already have a nuclear weapon . And I said other things too . What do you want me to say? My bad no, I'd really listen. Maybe I missed those things. It's okay. I didn't hear any of it today . You know, well, today, that's true. I didn't. I was doing other things. That's okay . No, no, no, you can't do it every day , but this poor guy. I mean, he's trying to fight these evil mullers and they know what the Democrats are saying and they know that the But the president has just so you know I know enough that he has a very good perspective, and he has actually read a lot about other presidents , includ ing McKinley and Roosevelt, Reagan , Lincoln, Washington. He's very familiar with all of . And let me just tell you this , nobody had a tougher time than Abraham Lincoln, nobody . Where the country was falling apart , where the casualties were mass ive every single battle , where he had copperheads in the north that were basically promoting the Confederate position and demanding that he find an offramp, demanding let the country break apart, let slavery exist in the south . When he was going into reelection, the second election, he was way behind . He pulled his generals together, U. S. Grant Sherman . He said, We need some victories here. We need some victories here. We're going to lose this whole thing . Then you had the Battle of Atlanta and the Battle of Georgia generally . Sherman basically saved the presidency . It's a man who lost family members during the war. Zameno had a very depressed wife during the war. He was very depressed and upset . So I'm just pointing out to you, you're right . Every president has massive challenges. This one has more than most . But we can look at history for some solace and to see that turned out the right way . And we have an obligation to citizens. This is about us. This is our country . We elect a president, but in the end, it's we the people, we the sovereign . And we need to let everybody know where we stand what we think in hope that our comments aren't used as sabotage because mine certainly aren't. The president knows that . He texts me twice last night. He texts me twice the day before we go back and forth . And it's intended to be helpful. That doesn't mean he'll agree with me or that I'll agree with him. I do agree with him ninety five percent of the time , but that's the way it goes. All right, my friend, great call. We've had a lot of great calls as a matter of fact. We'll keep it up. We'll be right back. America doesn't stand for two hundred and fifty years as a beacon of hope without the brave men and women willing to put their lives on the line to defend it. And to honor those patriots, pure talk and its customers will raise two hundred fifty thousand dollars for America's Warrior Partnership by the end of July. Now this is an unbelievable foundation. It stands on the front line of helping to prevent veterans suicide by covering the basics, housing, access to VA benefits, transportation, counseling, the tangible things that give veterans a hand up.

Hezbollah tonight launched an attack against against Israeli forces and effectively incinerated four Israeli soldiers . And I assume Israel will hit back very, very hard very hard . Now it's important that we take the measure of how people react here , not because we have a wet finger in the air to see where the wind's blowing , but let's see who supports good and who supports Eva ? Let's see No H , no MOU , no MOU, no final agreement . Let me just write this for the whole world on the internet. No MOU or final agreement will change who these terror and that's that 's a fact . That's just a fact . Time will tell Terrible All right . We'll continue with some calls here. I'm just trying to gather all the information . Let us go to John Redwood City, California, the great KSFO, John, how are you, sir? I'm doing great. I'm a longtime listener and you're a ray of sunshine being trapped here behind enemy lines. I'm calling, you know, I support Israel. I think that they don't need to ask permission. I think it's better for them just to go in and annihilate Hezvah right now and beg for forgiveness later . And they got to worry about the people look at the tongue lashing they're taking. It's just unbelievable to me . Either way. And I just mentioned that four of their soldiers were effectively incinerated just now by an attack by Hezbollah. Now, what would we do? Didn't the president say you kill one soldier? We'll bomb the hell out of you. Didn't he say that? Exactly . Now let's see how the reaction goes to Dyn amic. Yeah, but I mean, you know, he's up for re election. I don't know when the dynamics event is coming, but it's October, I think he doesn't do if he doesn't take action, he's going to be damned for it. If he takes action, he's going to be damned for it. So I mean, my advice to him, the prime minister of Israel is take action for the safety of the Israeli people. And you know, you don't need to ask the United States . I don't know what they're going to do, but I know him well enough to know they pissed off the wrong guy He's a battle hardened combat veteran who was badly wounded . He lost his brother in the Battle of Van Tebi to a sniper . Every one of these ministers and everybody, they have children in the IDF or the Mossad . The ambassador to the United States from Israel lost his eldest son in the first three weeks of the Battle of Gaza because they were trying not to blow up a building. And so they were entering a building to find the terrorists and the building was booby trapped and it collapsed on them . This is how it is to fight there and no matter how many times it is said that they're trying to do it as humanely as possible and this is really all for self defense . They're not the ones that are just randomly shooting missiles into Lebanon . Now we have joined the corps of the Europe ans and the Ara and the rest in condemning what every country would do certainly us in response to a terrorist group like this . And now we're talking about funding them. You know, we have these debates sometimes that are so asinine when it really comes down to basic stuff, things that are black and white. I'll be right back . America doesn't stand for two hundred and fifty years as a beacon of hope without the brave men and women willing to put their lives on the line to defend it. And to honor those patriots, pure talk and its customers will raise two hundred fifty thousand dollars for America's Warrior Partnership by the end of July. Now this is an unbelievable foundation.

Go to pure talk dot com slash Levin. That's pure talk . com slash LEVIN to switch to my favorite wireless company right now PureTalk. Again, that's pure talk dot com slash Levin Mark Levin, the voice the liberals want to silence . But you can talk to Mark at eight seven seven three eight one three eight one . Not just the liberals, the woke right neo fascists . All right, there's some news to give you folks. This comes from the Jerusalem post. And why do I go there? Because it's Israeli no, it's actually a fairly liberal pap er , but they're up on the news that's going on there that comes to our country much later . Mad Chaba Komani, this is the Komani that's still alive . He put out a statement. He said that he eventually approved the memorandum of understanding based only on a series of promises from Iranian President Pojekin and the negotiating team . Komani said that Iran will not submit to the quote excessive demands unquote of the United States in future negotiations with the United States in a series of posts on X . Komane said that he eventually approved the memorandum of understanding based only on a series of promises from the Iranian president and the negotiating team. He said quote, let me get this right . I as a matter of principle held a different view . However, out of the commitment that the esteemed president as the head of the Supreme National Security Council gave to me on his own behalf and on behalf of the other members regarding the safeguarding the rights of the Iranian nation and the res istance front and his explicit acceptance of that responsibility, I grant him my permission. That's a lot of Weaselworks to say he doesn't agree and that this guy's going to be the fall guy . Kamani argued that it was the American president who out of desperation used all kinds of leverage to bring this about . And I quote. Now the Iranian supreme leader then said that Iran would wait to see the deal's effects , but that it was evident that in person negotiations did not constitute acceptance of the American position . Does this sound like a regime that feels like it's defeated Now it may be defeated militarily. It may have lost the top two or three tiers , but I keep explaining to people they view their survival as Olive protecting them and as motivation to go on . The MOU was signed on Thursday by President Trump actually digitally Sunday , and the president of Iran, Vice President Vance, an Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammed Bagar Galab digitally signed the agreement. This guy Galab is a mass murderer . I don't know why we're I guess I'm just old school . Per the agreement, there will be goes on as you know, but I wanted you to know what the supreme leader had to say . He's not binding on this . It's all a ruse in the end. The question is what can we get out of it because the fact that there's going to be a deal at least for now is a done deal, okay ? The quest ion is what kind of deal ? And if the Israelis do as I expect them to do and for their IDF soldiers were effectively incinerated by the enemy by Hezbollah , you'll know very quickly if the Israelis are criticized of Netanyahu's attacked that we're not serious about this because you can't let these terrorists just roam as they do. I just read you the rocket number yesterday , yesterday . And the problem is this, to be perfectly honest with you, you incentivize them when you include them in item one of an MOU that there will be a permanent ceasefire and that includes in Lebanon. And so you're telling Hezbollah, they're terrorists . Fire away, fire away, fire away. And then they fire away and they saw our reaction. The reaction was to attack the Israelis and to attack the Prime Minister . Well, let's pretend they're not Israelis. They're not Jewish, it's not the Prime Minister. I have an idea . Let's pretend it's Rome and the Vatican, okay? Is that okay? No. All right, that one's not okay. Well, then let's pretend it's Washington DC. Is that okay? No, that's not okay that's not okay either. Okay . So why is it okay now? It's not now, not ever. These are terrorists for damn sake . Let's keep rolling here . Let's go to Jake, Jersey City, New Jersey, the great WABC. Go right ahead, please. Yeah, hey, Mark, what's up ? Well, I'm doing a little radio show. How are you? Good . So I just want to make a couple points. My first point is, I think this whole thing that America is not letting Israel bombed or has to do with JD Vance making Trump anti Israel because I don't think Trump really says these things privately. I think he wants Israel to take care of Lebanon. I don't want you to say what you speak to Trump privately, but privately do know if he sounds like this anti debian anti Israel bombing Lebanon because I think it's all JD . He's never done it to me personally . Nope. Also, did you see this? I don't know who's behind it or anything like that. Thank you for your call, my friend. Walter P atittsburgh Penn,sylvania , the great WJAS, how are you? I'm fine, mister Luvin, thanks for taking the call. You bet. Everybody's so polite. You can call me Mark. It's all right . Thank you. I come, I'm not sure if that three hundred billion is Iranian money that is frozen right now? No, no, that's not Iranian money . The frozen money's twenty four billion, that's all. The three hundred billion would be raised by Arab countries or any countries for that matter. We would help organize it and facilitate it . And that three hundred billion dollars, the terms of it are not clear at all in the W . As I understand the Vice President was saying, you have to meet certain standards . I don't see that in the document and now they're talking about certain side deals. I don't know , but that's an awful lot of money. I don't think they should get one plug nickel. That's just me. Well, what I was thinking of that with the twenty four billion anyway is we should free that up and use the beginnings of it going back to nineteen seventy nine to pay for our hostages and to pay for the Marines in Beirut . Well, pay back the hostages from nineteen seventy nine. That's not a bad idea. Marines in Beirut and their families have done, we take that money back until when it's gone, it's gone . And it's the same with the three hundred billion . I don't think we should be helping them facilitate or raise three hundred billion. We're we're lifting all sanctions so that money can be raised. And not only that, according to the MOU, if there are any international arrangements via the UN or the IAEA and these other entities were supposed to help them have the restrictions lifted . No, that's not going to happen. Can you believe that? That's in there . That's in there. Actually, I can believe it. That's the problem . Yeah . All right, Walter. Appreciate you, man. Let's keep rolling here. We're going to head to H iram in Reynolds, Georgia. Siri X M satellite, how are you? I'm good, sir. Nice to speak with you. It's too listening. I haven't been listening for very long. I've learned a lot. I appreciate the stance that you take . I just think that Trump is the ultimate deal maker and he's trying to build a coalition a brilliant means of giving a giving in and trying to make a deal the ultimate deal maker knowing that this deal will not will not be honored by the Iranians, therefore further giving it a chance for the Europeans, the European Union and the Arabs to build a correlation to further isolate the Iranian regime. All right, that's just my thoughts. Your thoughts on that? I think you know, he's a brilliant man. You know him like the other caller just said that you know Trump is doing things moving in ways we don't understand like moving oil in the middle of the night. Nobody thought of it. He's doing it . And he may very well be taken back taking the opportunity to recoup funds that the American people have lost in the past. And that's all I have to say. May, may, may, and you may be right . I don't know. But I do agree with you giving him the benefit of the doubt that I agree with. Thank you, sir. All right, we'll be right back. Mark Lubin America doesn't stand for two hundred and fifty years as a beacon of hope without the brave men and women willing to put their lives on the line to defend it.

Again, that's pure talk dot com slash Livin . There's a reading reports, an intensive operation by the Israeli military to evacuate the dead and injured soldiers right now as I speak So I just want to ask the woke write onliners. I want to ask them what would you do I want to ask those , including our friends in the administration, what would you do ? People say, Oh, you have a right to defend yourself, but do they really? But they're going to regardless This is a people in a region of the world that outlasted the Babylonians , the Persian Empire , the Roman Empire , even the Third Reich in Europe , all horrible on that, especially . I don't think Hezbollah is going to be able to take them out because they're not going to permit it. No matter what any politician says in this country, it doesn't matter . When you're fighting for your life and somebody's kid dies, these kids , these guys who are fighting in gals, they're coming out of the cafes, they're coming out of restaurants, they're working in hotels, some of them are lawyers. Most of them are nots. Some of them are doctors , you know, they're construction workers. This is a citizen army they have over there . That's what they have. They have to. They only have nine, nine point five million people . And rather than talk the way some people talk about them, you need to think about every damn day they're under attack , every single damn day just because they exist . Just think about that . Every single damn day , of course they don't want the Iranians to get three hundred billion dollars. I just read your an article where they said they're going to give a fortune to Hezbollah . What is that? They just fought a war next to us with us . All right, let's take some more calls here while we're at it . Let's go to Jerry El Paso, Texas, one of my original affiliates or one of my early affiliates. The great KTSM, Jerry , how are you? I'm well, sir. Thank you. Now you're in El Paso, Texas. Now imagine if terrorists were firing missiles at El Paso, Texas from Mexico. What would you do? You stand down? Gather my I would gather all my guns and me and my son would go down there and take them SOBs out. Yeah, you're not going to sit still No . All right, what did you call about? I'm sorry . I have a legal question for you . Yeah , since Tehran is going to pass this money on to Hezbollah under Title eighteen US code chapter one hundred and one three B terrorism subchapter two three B nine B providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organiz ations . And hold on . Hold on now. The problem is it's not our money. That three hundred billion . That's not our money. This is how they get around it. And the twenty four billion the pres saidident is actually their money. We've just been holding it back. And he said, we can't hold it forever. Well, of course we can. We're not required to get money back to a terrorist regime to use against us. But that said , the three hundred billion we're going to help them raise or coordinate or facilitate it . And I'm sure a lot of these Arab countries are going to give it to them and so forth and so on. So that's not those are not actually our funds. But who cares ? Why should they get anything? I thought we won and they lost . It's still providing material support to the enemy . You know, I'm going to have to look at that. What did you say? one , it's one three bravo. Subchapters, two of 'em . Yeah, two of them, sub chapters, two, three , three, nine, bravo and two three nine Charlie . The second one in his prohibitions against the financing of terrorism . And that one says knowing or onknowing, willing or unwilling. And what section is that ? Title eighteen US code . Yeah . Yeah, yeah, but any particular section ? Well, it says your chapter one one hundred three B o Okay, it's in that section. Okay, no, you made my job easy. We're gonna take a look at that overnight. That was a great call there, brother. Great call from Jerry. All your calls have been great. We'll be right back .

Now broadcasting them from the underground command puzzle deep in the fouls of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brick and steel of a nondiscript building , we've once again made contact with our leader editor, Mark Livin . Hello, America. Mark Levin here, our number eight, seven, seven three eight one three eight one , eight, seven seven three eight one eight one . Harry Enton , the data analyst over at the Constipated News Network . I thought you might find this interesting. I'd try to bring you some good news too . Cut six, go . The meeting of the fourth, when we ask voters about this, what do most of them say at this point? This to me is one of the most stunning divides that we have seen. You know, we're talking about polarization in politics. It even comes down to what you believe july fourth actually is. Like what does july fourth mean to you? Celebrate America , friends and family time. Among Republicans, what do you see? You see, the clear majority say it's a time to celebrate America sixty five percent. Among Democrats, however, the plurality disagree. Look at that. What do you see? Friends and family time at forty two percent versus just twenty four percent who say that what it means most of them is to celebrate America? So even on the basic question of what july fourth means to you, we have Republicans on one end saying celebrate America , more of 'em say that. And Democrats on the other end saying that it means more to them to have time with friends and family. What do they say about the flag? Yeah, okay. So what do they say about the flag? Even on the basic level of flag, look at this , look at how we have an increasing polarization on this issue. We'll display the flag on july fourth, the American flag. Back in July of two thousand one, look at this. You had sixty eight percent of Republicans, sixty five percent of Democrats saying that they would in fact display the flag on july fourth. You come over to this side of the screen, Republicans basically are where they were twenty five years ago, right? sixty four percent. But look at that Democratic Representative absolutely plummeting. Just twenty seven percent of Democrats say they will, in fact, display the flag on july fourth. Democrats and Republicans in different camps, even on the simple question of displaying the flag on july fourth , a polarization, a split that simply put did not exist a generation earlier. All right. All right, listen to me. Let's hold on a second . It's not just a split between Democrats and Republicans. It's a split between people who love this country and don't . Only twenty seven percent of Democrats would fly the American flag . You know, I bet if we kept records about who volunteers to serve in the military, they will be brave and heroic Democrats, but I'll bet they're in the minority. I'll bet it splits out just like this flag . I'll bet the majority of Republicans. I really would . Again, it's not the dishonor Democrats who've served in the military. That's not my point. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about your party . twenty seven percent. This is why when the Democrats talk about destroying the Constitution, the court, the electoral collars, they talk about opening the border, letting illegal immigrants in. Many of them are illegal immigrants or where go ahead , proud to be an American. Okay, what about this idea? Are you proud to be an American? Extremely or very proud to be an American. Again, look at this divide, a growing divide on this question. Back in January of two thousand one, ninety percent of Republicans , eighty five percent of Democrats. This was after a very content ious two thousand election, keep in mind, right? With George W. Bush coming into the White House. You come over to this side of the screen in twenty twenty six , look at this. Again, the Democratic percentage absolutely plummets to just twenty nine percent of Democrats say they're extremely are very proud to be an American. That Republican percentage the exact same . ninety and ninety, the Democratic percentage, what is that? That's basically a third of the level that it was just twenty nine percent of Democrats say they're extremely or very proud to be an American . twenty nine percent . ninety percent of Republicans as we've been talking about, the Democrat Party is the party of the reprobates . It's the party of the malcontents , the miscreants. It's the party of the Islamists . It's the party of the Marxists . And you got some people who are there who are very patriarchic and so forth. I just don't think they realize what they're surrounded with, at least most of them don't, or they feel an attachment to the party because their parents were Democrats. But other than that , there is absolutely no reason to be a Democrat today . twenty nine percent of Democrats do not are not patriotic. That's what that says. twenty nine percent. So they're leaders and they're congressmen. They elect Islamists, they elect Marxists, they elect people who want to destroy our constitutional construct. You know, early on when we were dealing with AOC and then later with Mandami, you would have people on TV Republicans who were talking about, you know, the base of the Democrat Party, the base, I said, it's not the base. It's the Democrat Party . The Democrat Party is this party . It's not just the base . And there you have it. It's not just the base . It's the Democrat Party . You know what's upsetting and I'm not going to play it . I don't think. Obama opens his new library. You couldn't tell it's a library. I don't even know what the hell it looks like. To me, it's incredibly ugly. And I don't mean to say that because he's a Democrat and it's Obama. I just think it's ugly. And this is going to be the headquarters for this Marxist movement now . Valerie Jerred at the opening of the library . She's talked about a moment to recognize the original inhabitant s of the land upon which we gather today. Now this is in Chicago . And we honor the council of the Three Fires , the Okab obee, the Ottawa, the whatever , whatever and another one in here , we acknowledge them . Stolen land . Obama says the founders fell short , slavery, white men , property . He has no conception of what was what was taking place, what took place . It's really one of the only governing systems that created a method to correct itself . Now, while slavery was taking place all over the world, including in Africa, that's no excuse . And while the British kept shipping black slaves into this country , they set up a mechanism to deal with it . And then a civil war was fought Because it wasn't completely dealt with seven hundred thousand casualties. There's not another country in the world that fought a civil war over slavery, not another, not one . And there's still slavery taking place in Africa where black Muslims, terrorists are enslaving and raping Black Christians, you barely hear about that. I'm guessing they didn't bring that up at the Obama presidential library taking place in the Middle East in horrendous ways, taking place in Southeast Asia and Communist China in horrendous ways, in North Korea horrendous ways. We can pick out the countries. We know what's going on , but we don't talk about any of that . Any of it . Obama says his values are American values, not Democrat values. I don't think they're American or Democrat. I'm just being honest. I think they're radical left . Radical left . Eric Holder, he speaks and he trashes the Supreme Court , trying to drive their negatives up so they can get support to destroy it. They probably already have support. If only twenty nine percent of Democrats are patriot ic. You know, this is what kills me. This is the greatest country man has ever imagined , put into practice . There's not a better one on the face of the earth, no matter what and to listen to the way these people talk about it they know full well that people from all over the world, every color, every background, every creed, every religion are seeking to come into this country. There's not another country . You might say Europe, no Europe , the government's filled with a bunch of suckers. They're easy targets. People want welfare and so forth. No, you don't come to America, you're not supposed to, anyway. That's not what draws people here. It's different . It's different . Yes , except for these people . Except for these people . We'll be right back . Mark Lovin Starting something new isn't just hard, it can be terrifying.

They just take words out of context, flip it there, stir the pot, want the eyes . Some of this new media is a disaster. Anyway , now for something completely different and very positive, Batya, Unger, Sargon . How are you, my friend? Thank God, doing good. How are you? Thank God, let me look. Yep, I'm doing well too. And you have a wonderful new book out and I'm curious to know first of all I want you to share it with the audience. I'm curious to know the reaction right now, given all the all the hate that's spreading out there. But nonetheless, tell us about your book . We have it up there. It's called The Jews and the Left. It's really quite fascinating. Go right ahead. Oh, yeah, thank you so much. So the question that I get asked the most when I travel by Christians and conservatives and Republicans is I am sure a question you get asked a lot too , which is people will look at me with like real pain in their eyes and say why are the Jews Democrats when the left has turned on them and we have their backs . It's something that I think a lot of people on the right really struggle to understand because they feel an affinity to Jews. And yet two thirds of American Jews are Democrat s. So I wanted to write a book that answered that question, why the Jews became Democrats, why they stick with the Democratic Party even though it's turned on Jews and Jewish interests . And what I uncovered was I think if I just sum up in one sentence, it's because most American Jews who are Democrats believe that Jews in America are an oppressed minority , but that is a complete misreading wait a minute American Jewish history . Yeah . Even today ? Well, today more than ever, actually, what's going on in the streets, but that's no reason to be a Democrat. Go ahead. I'm very fascinated. Yes, no. Well, so what I uncovered in my book was, you know, the first three hundred years of American Jewish history was a country that absolutely refused to treat Jew s even as a minority, let alone as oppressed. The founding fathers saw Jews as foundational partners in the creation of this great nation. They saw us as the living , breathing embodiment of the source material for the civilization they were trying to build, which is the Torah. They believe that our rights are imbuted in us by our creator, not a gift from the government. That was the whole premise of this nation and they felt that they had a covenant with God to protect their Jewish neighbors . And that continues to today. This country has always seen Jews as an essential part of the fabric of what makes America exceptional. So that's what the book is about. That is fascinating . And let me ask you this , the modern Democrat who's the modern Jew who was a Democrat , anything like the Jews perhaps fifty, sixty years ago who were Democrats ? You know, it's funny because there's definitely a generational divide . Here's the thing . Most American Jews, if you ask them, what makes you a Jew? What is your Jewish identity? They'll say that there's two main components to it. There's their liberalism, which they think is part of being Jewish , and there's Zionism. That is what it means to them to be an American Jew. And the tragedy in our era is that those two things are in conflict with each other. If you are on the left, you cannot be a Zionist today. They have utterly rejected Zionists . They have room for, you know , Islamists. They have room for Hamas, but not for Zion ists. And so a lot of American Jews are in this position where they feel a real conflict now at the heart of their identity. And Zionism is essentially just for the audience. Essentially is talking about the Jewish homeland, the holy land . Mauld Zion , which was really the center of Jerusalem, right? It's an utterly minimal proposition that planet Earth should contain one sovereign Jewish nation on our ancestral homeland. That's it. And by the way, the vast majority of Americans are Zionists. They're not so hot on Israel right now. They're not so sympathetic to Israel right now, but they do not believe what the left believes, which is that Israel shouldn't exist . Yeah, that's Zionism. It's like it's not it's like so obvious . Well, let me ask you this how do you persuade so many Jews who are Democrats to abandon that party? I mean, if the party's conduct today would be the Islamists and even people like Bernie Sanders isn't turning off so many of them, what will ? It's a great question. I think a lot of it has to do with education and the class divide, which is what my other two books were about. If you go to university in America , you're very likely to come out with the woke mine virus , which says there's no right versus wrong. It throws out the basis of the Judeo Christian civilization. It says there's only oppressor versus oppressed . And this gets so ingrained in you if you spend four years, eight years, twelve years as, the majority of American Jews are college educated, sixty percent. Many have a graduate degree. You get really inculcated into this mind virus, and it's very hard to think your way out of it. And one of the essential components of that is that the right is evil and racist and fallen . And that is the problem here is that but younger Jews and this is really interesting and compelling to me, younger Jews who experience those encampments, they're more conservative than their parents, which is very interesting and exciting. I write in the book. I didn't write this book so that Jews would become Republicans . I wrote it because I wanted them to stop being loyal to a party that hates them and return their loyalty to the nation that gave us this unbelievable gift of equality since its inception . Well and we find or do we find that the more quote unquote religious you are, or that is more orthodox, I should say , the more likely you are not to be a Democrat or to be Republican or nothing, right? Yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I'm Orthodox. And in our community, there's there's no struggle with, you know, young anti Zionists. No, I don't think so. Now , your modern Othrodox, I assume, is that right or am I wrong? . Let me ask you this . You know, I have a theory here and maybe I'm not the only one which is and it certainly has exceptions as they all do . But my question is if people view Judaism as purely an ethnicity , that is Jews , less so a religion, an ethnicity . And yet if you're a Jew who believes it yet, it's an ethnicity and it's a faith and it's a religion , do the latter tend to be more Republican and the former tend to be more Democrat or who knows I think so you have these Muslim politicians like Zoran Mamdani, Abdul al Sayed in Michigan, and they will say, you know, we revere the Jewish faith . We just have a problem with Israel , right? And the problem with that, of course, is that eighty percent of Jews worldwide are not necessarily people of faith. They're not religious , they're not orthodox. And in fact, it was sort of an irony in the history of America that Jews would come here and they would be very precious to their Christian neighbors because of their faith, but they would become very quickly enamored of the freedom . And as you know, being an Orthodox Jew is quite a heavy lift and they were right. I want you to hold on if you can, I want to take you over the break. This is fascinating to me . The book is The Jews and the Left. It's on Amazon. com I strongly encourage you to get it by Batya Unger Sargon. We'll be right back . With Donald Trump back in office as 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 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 Senator 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 megast ores, 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.

Call him now eight seven seven three eight one three eight one Welcome back America. The book is The Jews on the Left, Why are so many Jews left wing and Democrats ? Imbatya Unger, Sargon breaks the vault with this knowledge about is that the case ? Let me ask you this , how has this book been received given the atmosphere that's going on right now, which is not a very pleasant one Oh man, I'm going to be really honest with you, okay ? Yeah . So when it first came out , when I first submitted the manuscript, it was just when the podc onas theters far right started to turn on the Jews . And I thought to myself, I'm going to be a national laughing stop because I wrote this book about how the left turned on the Jews and the most prominent voices turning on the Jews right now are on the far right . Now in the intervening year President Trump and every Republican who came on my show , every senator, Congressman, member of the cabinet, influencer, journalist, pundit said, actually, no, you can't be in the Republican party, you can't be on the right if you're going to hate on the Jews. So you guys are out . And they kind of kicked them out and it was an amazing thing to watch And I keep telling this story to Jews. Like on the left, they elevate the anti Semites and on the right, they marginalize them . I do have to say, this week has been really tough for me, as I'm sure it has been for you as well you know anyway, but so the people have read it have really loved it, especially the history because it goes deep into how much love there was and continues to be for Jewish Americans from their Christian neighbors specifically . American Christians are the first population in human history to organize their religion around the protection of Jews rather than the persecution of Jews. So the people who that means something to have loved the book and written to me about how much it means to them . The Jewish left has pretty much ignored it . And then of course there are people who say that I'm just too naive or too credulous and all that, of course. And you raise an interesting point, a good point, actually . It's thanks to really faithful Christians, evangelical Christians, and so forth . Even in this country who are supportive of the Jews, like a dear friend of mine, Pastor John Hagen, and there are many others who believe in the tie between the Torah and the New Testament, that is the Old Testament, the New Testament for many people in the Bible . And he makes the point, look, there wouldn't be Jesus. There wouldn't be the apostles, but Jews like Huckabee, who was a former pastor makes the same point . And of course the founders made the same point, didn't they? Judeo Christian belief systems combined with the Enlightenment and so forth. So these are people who are very, very supportive of Jews. And many of us so the public knows Jews , we know this , and we are very appreciative and supportive of this. Wouldn't you say Yes , yeah . Yeah, I mean it's my grandfather was an Orthodox rabbi and he always used to say America is a wonderful country for the Jews. And I don't think he knew the deep history of it , but you know, this is a guy who was born in Brooklyn in Brownsville in nineteen thirteen and always felt a guy who never was without a Yamaka wore a black hat for his whole life and just always felt the love of his neighbors . And I think that that is something that a lot of Democrats don't know and a lot of Jewish Democrats don't understand. And I do feel a little bit like many on the Jewish left have sided with the side that hates us against the side that will always have our backs. And that's why I wrote the book because that's really intolerable to me. Like when you had the organized, you know, Jewish organizations like the ADL encounter this campus radicalism against Jews and their response was , well, how come Jewish students aren't getting the trans treatment ? We're also an oppressed minority. Why don't we get the special the special protections? And I was like, this is the exact opposite of what you should have said . The response should have been it was never okay to treat anyone this way. It was not okay to treat white students this way. It was not okay to treat conservative students this way. It was not okay to treat Republican students this way and we're not oppressed because this country never treated us like we were an other . We were always enmeshed in the fabric of American society. Every instance of anti Semitism in America was met with a massive overwhelming rejection by the American people . Whether it was Leo Frank , whose judge got a hundred thousand letters from across the nation from Christians begging for clemency, or whether it was Henry Ford who had to put his anti Semitic newspaper to bed when he wanted to run for president because no one would vote for an anti Semit , or whether it was the clan firebombing synagogues and then the white South turning on the clan because they couldn't stand to be associated with antisemitism. And I go through all of this in the book, every instance of anti Semitism in America was met with a radical rejection by American Christians. Such a good book. The Jews and the Left, you don't have to be Jewish. It answers the question in a very comprehensive way . Why so many Democrats and Liberals are Jewish? Let me ask you one more thing. You know, Norman Pot Hortz wrote a book and my wife has said this to me over the years that for the liberal Jews, many of them , their party and their political preference is their faith . Now that's probably something that's probably not unique. You've probably heard that before. What do you make of that? It's a really good point. I mean , he wrote a book called Why are Jews Liberals and it's a funny book because it kind of just restates the question, right ? Like, yes, they do treat Democratic Party politics like a religion, but the question is why? You know what I mean? What makes them do that ? And I think the answer has a lot more to do with socio economics today , university education , the idea that oppression is currency on the left in the milieu that most youths find themselves in the highly credentialed New York Times reading urban centers . And so they sort of have rewritten American Jewish history as a history of oppression when this is the exact opposite of the truth. Wow, very delightful talking to you. Wonderful book. I want to encourage people to get it to Jews and the left and go to amazon dot com and get it right now. Again, you don't have to be Jewish to read it by Batya Angar Sargon , podcast or two as a matter of fact. And where can people find you . I have a substack battle. Us dot com I have a news nation show every Saturday night at seven PM. Obviously pre record it because of Chavis, and then it airs again Sunday morning at eleven . I'm on Twitter, but I'm trying to spend less time on there because it took time. I don't blame people as you know I don't seem to be like there for some reason, but I don't give it a damn either. All right. All right, my friend, you take care and congratulations on a great book and folks, I encourage you to get it. All right, take care now. It's a fascinating book. It really is. It answers your question. Many of you have asked me . And by the way, I've asked myself , the Jews and the left, Batya, Angar, Sargon, you can get it at amazon. com and encourage you to grab a copy and I think you'll really enjoy it . And you'll enjoy the history in there and other things in there. And also there's discussion about Christianity as well , as you heard her speak speaking just now . All right , not to bring it down, but we got this guy . I'm not gonna do it. We'll be right back. Mart Lubin All right, mister Peducer , give me a time here, sir. Okay, we woke up Mr. Perduzer, he was getting a steak sandwich or something . No, am I right or wrong? Can you send me the link again to the phone calls because I apparently have lost it . We have a new system. It's actually a great system as far as I'm concerned if you if you don't lose the link . All right . Okay , here we go got it. Thank you . All right, we' takere as many calls as we can . Let's go to Paul, Houston, Texas on the Mark Levin app. We're going from the top down, people have been waiting a long time. I apologize. Go right ahead, Paul Hey M,ark good talking to you again. I don't know if you remember me from earlier last week . Go right out sure. I wasn't happy with what I heard. first came out. This is not what you dreaming now. Well it's even worse after you went I heard you go through it last night. I was so mad I almost had to turn you off . I mean this is surrender . This is surrender . And I hope they understand and I don't think they do how upset Americans are. This show really does have the pulse of America , given the size of the show, it reaches every corner of the country, even beyond . And this is your mister and Mrs. Conservative . Yeah, and you're not happy with this. But Mark , Trump calls everybody fools that are disagreeing. He is not MAGA anymore. He is not America first. He's Trump first. He's ego. All right, I'm not I'm not prepared to go there hon,estly , I'm not because I know I know he wants to do the right thing and he does the right thing most of the time. I think almost all the time. But we can have our disagreement on this, I think, without without without, you know, pounding away. I appreciate your call. You know, on the woke reich, the traitor Tucker, Katarlson's and others they'll trash the president if they disagree with him , and he'll invite them back, by the way, he'll take him back, but I just don't operate that way. I don't operate that way. I have something to say. I say it . I know he's got an incredibly difficult job There's a lot of people who feel really, really upset about it. I'm very upset about it. What's going on right now, but I'm trying to do our best to communicate our views as succinctly as I can , and I'll continue to do that. As a matter of fact , if you watch my life liberty and Levin Show this Saturday , it's probably the most how can I put this ? The angriest I've ever been in giving a monologue . I guarantee most of you are going to want to watch this . eight PM on Saturday, Eastern Time, set your DVR if you're not sure or whatever recording device you use . eight PM Eastern time on Life of Liberty and Levin on Fox. I encourage you to watch this, particularly if you're troubled by this or you want to learn more information about it. Let's go to Bill Fort Worth, Texas, the great WBAP. Go right ahead, please. Hello, my hero, Mark Levin. Good to talk. Thank you again. God bless you. Yes, sir. Thank you. God bless you. And listen, what you say I'm sitting here listening to you every chance I get in my car radio or wherever I can on TV . I'm telling you, I wish I was sitting in the chair beside you and nodding my head. Yes, you go, man, you go, man. You're a good man. Thank you. Anyway, I'm a former U. S. Army guy, information special ist, I also was a former professional journalist. I was over in Germany and I wrote a column one time about John Carlos at the wrong time. I'm a patriot long story short. I don't know how in the world a guy named Obama got into the oval office. I call him a usurper. I don't even call him by the P word unless it's something undeserved. Look what he's even said. It's like the man became president. He was a senator . He's lived a dream life . He's become a multimillionaire. He's treated like a celebrity America has been wonderful to him and his wife and his entire family , only in America, only in America, and he has absolutely circumspect , nothing , no appreciation for what his fellow man has done for him and with him . I find it disgusting. The things that they were saying and the people he brought up and what they were saying, it's very typical of the radical left in the Democrat Party bill. Right. And you know, the people of you know, I'm I'm Catholic and I respect the Jews. I have a lot of Jewish friends. And I consider myself a completed Jew. That's what my wife shows me. But the bottom line is how in the world can we get accountability from a guy like Obama? And you know, they're trying to build this presidential whatever you call it building for him that going it's to know it's built here also , you know . It's building. It looks terrible and I'm not saying that because I have a problem with. I mean, the Clinton one looks okay and but this looks like a mess to me . All right, Bill Don't get mad at me. I got to move on, but do call again. We love having you, buddy. Very much. Moscha , Lakewood, New Jersey, how are you? I'm doing great, consistent Mark. Well, thank you. Thank you I've been listening to you for quite a while already, and I'm a big supporter of the president . Most orthodox Jew . And it's very disturbing this deal to me . And I was thinking that I think the president has been surrounded by people who are afraid of the midterm elections. They see the energy prices are not good . So they tried getting off ramp. Now, I think what they should do is take Iran's strategy of stolen and flip it on them, stole for the next four months. You and I are on the same page. I said the same thing, but here's the thing. You know what the American people hate ? They hate when we go to war and we don't have a victory . And we can say it's a victory , but I mean a victory where they're defeated and they surrender. Thank you, Mosha. Thank you all. What a fantastic audience and great callers. I want to thank you all. God bless you all. We'll do this again tomorrow, I hope. I'll see you then. Have a wonderful evening.
