The Best Of Mark Levin - 6/13/26 — Jun 13, 2026 — starts at 0:00
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 Luvin . I don't know why the president of the United States feels the need to keep going to left wing reporters and talking about confidential conversations he has with the Prime Minister of Israel . And I don't know why he keeps bashing the Prime Minister of Israel who's trying to protect his country and his own people . Just a few weeks ago, their fighter jets were fighting right alongside ours . The Mossad was working with the CIA , and of course the Prime Minister was working with the president in what was a spectacular military operation. I know the president is deeply desperate for a deal . The Iranians know he's deeply desperate for a deal. The whole world knows he's deeply desperate for a deal. Got it . But the problem is the state of Israel is in the neighborhood . And when Hezbollah is shooting thousands of missiles into the state of Israel and tens of thousands of drones since the ceasefire nine weeks ago on april eighth . And Israel's told it can only fight a defensive war and Israel's told to stay away from Beirut even, though the head of the snake is right outside of Beirut and even signing a so called peace deal with the Lebanese government, which is a government that wants peace with Israel, but it has nothing to do with Hezbollah cannot control Hezbollah . And then when they fight to push Hezbollah back because they've now had to depopulate the northern part of the country. It's a tiny country . I want you to think of New Jerse y and the top twenty, twenty five percent of New Jersey has to be pushed back, hundreds of thousands of people depopulated . And then they're told they can only fight so much to stop it. The hypocrisy of our country wouldn't that put up with it in the treatment of that country is ridiculous . In fact , we don't ask any other country to do that, none . So why the constant beating up of Netanyahu? He wants to defeat the regime in Iran We do not . We've decided not . We've decided at least for now, maybe next week it'll change . We're not going to use our military to enforce anything except if they take action against us. So obviously, if you're the Israelis and they're firing weapons into your country and you want to take action . We would do exactly the same thing, would we not? Even more . So Rans figured this out . So they fired eleven ballistic missiles into Israel. Ballistic missil es that can blow a city block off the face of the earth. The size of school buses. Each one carries two thousand pounds . So Israel prepares to fight back and they get a call telling them they shouldn't . But if they do to be very limited about it , so they go in and they hammer the hell out of them and they want to finish the job, but they're pulled back by us. They're told, no, you come back. You want to be alone? You want to be the only ones ? We didn't do anything , anything much to support their effort . In fact, there was an announcement from the White House last night saying we had nothing to do with this. Our military is not involved. And I commented , well, that's nothing to be proud of . They were fighting alongside of us when we when we them to join us in our efforts . And of course, Iran sees all this, but most of all, you know who else sees all this, Mr. Pedusa? Communist China . And what do you think Communist China has taken away from this? You think they're more or less worried about us should they invade Taiwan ? What do you think ? Seriously . I don't know why we beat up on an ally like this after praising them and embracing them and supporting them . Now that said , a lot of you are thinking this way, like what's going on ? Tyrus on Fox on the Five . I've only talked him once, I think , for a book interview, Mr. Producer . We've had him on very nice man, actually really sharp . And about an hour ago on Fox the five five . He said this cut twenty one go . I think Iran is they're telling us to be like the America they've had dealt with decades. They're looking at how Afghanistan, well maybe, when America leaves, they'll leave us tanks and helicopters too. We just have to wait this out. I think a lot of people in America, it's easy for us to say, oh, this what's going on over there . But the people who live in Israel, this is their front yard and their backyard . And they see and it's hard to hold it against them and their government against them like they can finally end this. Iran's best friend in this whole situation is President Trump because he's the only one because this is saying, Hey, we're going to come to the table and Iran shoots at a ship.. Okay, cool We'll just blow up the guys who did it, but we're still willing to be at the table. If President Trump said, you know what, Israel and a lot of the Kuwait and a lot of the places that Iran fired at? He said, you know what, you guys handle it, there would be no more Iran. It would be completely Iran's best friend in this situation is the United States because they're the only one who can say to Israel right now is like, hey, stop firing. And that's a lot to ask a country after forget just October seventh . Look, forget the national worldwide campaign against them. This type of stuff we've seen in here in America and our college campaign all around the world. So I sympathize with Israel's need to want to be safe and free . And for us, we sit on the other side of the ocean going, well, this needs to stop. So Iran, if you have any brains left in, what did you call me again? Gay Ayatollah, you know, you know, maybe it's time to put on those dance shoes and go out and serenade and call the president and get it done because if the president walks away from this , it's not going to be like Afghanistan. Israel's coming, and hell's coming with them. And so when the president did an interview on television in Israel , maybe an hour or two ago , and it's pretty rough on the Prime Minister there who's up for election in October. So it's very unhelpful to him. And they'll be sorry about any of these other candidates who are elected. I can trust you on that one. Trust me on that . And he said, is if Israel you know , basically if they don't do what I tell them to do, they're going to be left alone fighting Iran. They will whip Iran's ass . And they want to destroy thy reg theirime and they will fund, finally, give arms to the people in Iran. They won't give a damn what Turkey and Iran has to say about it . Here's the interesting thing that they're not reporting really on any news outlet . The Iranian people , the Lebanese people, and the Israeli people are of one. They are united against this regime The Israeli people want this regime defeated . The Persian people want this regime defeated, and the Lebanese people want this regime and Hezbollah defeated tens of millions of people . The lifeline will be whatever deal we come up with because that deal after the president leaves will not be enforceable . It just won't it just won't . So Axios and this guy Barak i Barak Ravid is an Israeli who worked for two of the worst publications in Israel, couldn't hold his j obs there , goes to Axios, and this is the guy that receives the leaks, I guess, from the Oval Office or people around the president and who the president talks to all the time to put that information out. And you'll notice that Netanyahu hasn't gone to the press by any of the conversations . Moreover, I'm not aware that conversations our president has with any other head of state winds up being discussed in the media? I really have not seen it. But I've seen these things before , these efforts, these campaigns to diminish, to reduce , and I don't think Netanyahu's going to be pushed into subm aission. He can't . The stakes are way too high for exactly the reasons Tyrus said. Tyrus is right and a lot of you have been calling here saying exactly the same thing and online putting aside the bots and the Jew haters and the rest , a lot of people are saying the same thing. This is not helping us . This is not helping us with Iran. It's not going to help us with a deal . In fact , what Israel did yesterday , if it's a deal that the president is seeking, it certainly is, they helped on the deal because they're the only enforcers in the Middle East dealing with Iran and Hezbollah . All right . Liberty's voice today . Cut to, mister Producer. Cut two, go. I'm a very big churchill fan, and we all should be. He's one of the greatest leaders in the history of the world. He had a lot of differences with FDR, and then later, after FDR died with Truman. And it basically came down to this during the negotiation toward the end of World War two and at the end of World War two. He said you cannot trust Stalin. He's a killer. He's a communist who wants to conquer as much of the earth as he can, including eastern Europe. In fact, Churchill said he already has his troops there and he won't remove them in some of these countries. No, says FDR, we can work this out. Then Truman, he meets with Truman and Truman's main goal is what? To get out of Europe, to end the war, get out of Europe. What did Stalin do? He put in phony governments with phony elections where they resisted like in Hungary, the tanks rolled in and they just took them over. Churchill in many ways is Netanyahu and what they're dealing with in the Middle East . You see the Middle East , including in Israel , if the price of a gallon of gasoline goes up seventy cents or a dollar and so forth, that's a slight inconvenience, a temporary inconvenience all the way in the United States . For the Israelis , that cannot be the controlling factor over life and death. It cannot be the controlling factor. One more clip from today's Liberty's Voice. You can get it on Rumble and YouTube , cut one and go . Why don't we think about two or three weeks of our beautiful bombers and our beautiful bombs and our jet fighters and everything and whatever we can. We target what we feel needs to be target ed and blow them the hell off the face of the earth. Mostly their SS, the IRGC, do everything we can in that truncated period of time. Heavily hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer, and then say, okay, Israel and any Arab country, do as you wish. And I believe the Israeli military would take care of that regime and remove it because they do want to arm the people there . They do want to do what has to be done. And if they have to send troops in there, they will send troops in there. See, I don't think it's a threat to Israel when you say you may have to take on Iran alone. I don't think it's a threat to them at all. I think it's part of their wish list, quite frankl.in It's now the Arabs who are more worried but not the Israelis. Mark the Vin is Operation Epic Fury intensifies. The world braces for what's to come next , and people of faith pray for freedom and for God's people in the Holy Land to be protected. And in the Holy Land, red alert sirens fill the air, sirens that give you only fifteen seconds to reach the nearest bomb shelter. The situation is serious, the threat is real. And in times like this, freedom and faith aren't just abstract ideas, they are what we depend upon. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground, preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid emergency essentials for security personnel while helping ensure hospitals and emergency rooms and shelters are stocked with critical medical supplies. This aid is focused on Israel's most vulnerable, the sick, the elderly , children, families in great need. But the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews need your most generous gift today to make this work possible. So please rush your gift, which is tax deductible by calling right away , five hundred eighty five IFCJ that's eight hundred eighty eight, five hundred eighty five IFCJ or online at Levin for the fellowship dot org that's LEVIN for the fellowship dot org Making your weekend even better . This is the best of Mark Levin. There's a variety of things going on here America. Number one, in some of these Republican primaries you have these Tucker Carlson types who are running . I will fight each and every one of those as they undermine the President, MAGA , America first, constitut ional Conservatives as they promote Islam and Sharia law against Judaism and Christianity . And you know the rest of it . And so that's how I'm making those determinations. And then when you look at Maine, you got a Democrat who's running who was a neo Nazi. Now he's a communist . He's a vile pervert who's done things in public. I don't only want to discuss . He's manhandled women . And I can go on and on and on about that. Guys, trashed hero heroes who served in the military, one of whom was shot four times . We don't need that . We don't need a Bernie Sanders , you know, syncophant who's got all these other issues that go along with it. And hence, I endorse Susan Collins . That's the binary process. When you go into the voting booth, you have to make a decision . And my decision is , moderate Republicans , even rhino Republicans , to the enemy , to the enemy. That's how bad it's gotten out there with the Democrat Party and some of these buffoons who were on the woke reich REICH . Now an Apache helicopter was shot down by an Iranian drone . Of course, Iran says, Well, the Apache helicopter shouldn't have been there, wouldn't have happened, right ? That's international airspace, that's international navigable waters . And these Apache helicopters are no joke. They are massive, they are powerful, but these drones become a problem . And the president of the United States , he announced that we're going to respond militarily . He announced we're going to respond militarily. Let me see if I can find his exact statement here, folks. Give me a second. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Here it is. Let's see I don't have it. Okay, well in any of any posted it , and they're calling it defensive and pinpoint ed . Now they can call it a cucumber if they want to. It's not defensive and it's not so pinpointed . Now ladies and gentlemen , when eleven ballistic m issiles were shot into the state of Israel , that could have killed thousands of people . What did the president what did the prime minister do? Their prime minister responded militarily militarily, right? And he was asked not to. Then he was told, okay, go for it, but don't do too much . And then the Woke Wright and others castigated him, right? He was castigated . Now, certainly we haven't reached a point where if the enemy tries to kill hundreds, if not thousands of Israelis, the response needs to be limited . But if they attack one of our helicopters, well, we'll do whatever we choose to do, right? The fact is that we should beat the hell out of them militarily And Israel should be able to do exactly the same thing . Because my question to you, folks is, how much longer is this going to go on ? How much longer are we going to have delay ? We have a deal in two or three days . It's going well, and then some kind of a military attack by the enemy , whether it's Hezbollah or Iran. I think the American people are getting tired of this. I think people are going to need neck braces. Their heads have to turn so often on this. I don't think it helps our country. I don't think it helps Israel. I don't think it helps us during the midterm elections. I don't think it's helpful. Now this isn't a vicious attack on the president or anybody else. These are my opinions. People can take them or leave 'em I understand with the dummies , with the anti Semites . I understand where they stand. I understand where the woke Wright stands . The Tucker Carlson's and the Piers Morgan's and the Steve Bannon's and the Meghan Kelly's and all the rest of them get to have their heads up their ass . I got it. I know. They have their own agendas. They don't matter . They don't matter Here's President Trump on the Tarmac last night about Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel hitting back when they were attacked by Iran. Cut three. Go. What did he say Prime Minister Netanyahu when he spoke to him? We had a very good conversation and he was hit and he hit back and I can't blame him for that, but he was hit . He hit back and now they've called it quince. So they're going to leave each other alone for another week or shop. It's now they hit us. Now they hit us Now, ladies and gentlemen , look what we're dealing with here with the Iranian regime. Look what we're dealing with here . It is a hostile force to us, to the Israelis, to the Gulf Arab countries . It's not going to stop. Maybe it'll stop for a week, two weeks, a month, but ultimately it's not going to stop . Anybody who knows anything about them knows this . Go ahead . You could say about three thousand years if you really want, but certainly it's been going on for forty seven years . But no, he hit back , they went back and forth and now they both agreed through me to stop and we're in the final throws of what will be a very, very good deal that will not allow notice one of two things with our ally Israel. They either say nothing because they don't want to interfere or they support us . Isn't that right, Mr British? They're not telling us how to do it, when to do it , where to do it, how long to do it, to make it defensive, to make it targeted, to be present. They're not getting into that. They know that we'll do whatever we need to do , whatever we choose to do, right? I'm just saying that really needs to be the plan for them too . Self defense is self defense. Now I know my haters out there really want to see Israel blown off the face of the earth. It's not going to happen . Not now, not ever. Mark love him . You know, I used to think a mattress was just furniture until Ghostbed sent me one to try because Ghostbed doesn't build mattress es like furniture. They build engineered sleep systems. Beds designed to help with relief and recovery, not looks, not fluff. Your body should be healing while you sleep , not fighting for comfort. I notice the difference right away. So if you're waking up stiff, tossing a turning, sleeping hot, or even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping tonight will be different, that's not aging. That could be your mattress talking. And here's another thing I love about Ghostbed. You get one hundred and one nights to try it at home. Hello, and if you don't feel the difference, well, you can send it back risk free. Ghostbed is offering my audience their lowest prices of the season plus an extra ten percent off.

A second round of attacks on Iran is taking place . Tacks are taking place, a second round is taking place . I don't know what generated this response this time. I'm all for it. You know, my goal is to defeat this regime . I don't understand why forty eight hours ago when Israel hammered Iran for shooting eleven ballistic missiles at its citizenry. I mean at their population centers . The Prime Minister was admonished in the press and elsewhere for doing that . This is two days in a row for us and I'm all for it. But there seems to be a I don't know it's confusing to me to be perfectly honest with you. I don't get it . They hit our helicopter, they almost killed two of our pil ots . They fired eleven ballistic missiles in Israel. A ballistic missiles, as you know, if you've been listening, it's the capacity to blow an entire block neighborhood off the face of the earth . I mean just as a moral and rational point of view, it seems to me that Israel have a right to respond and we have every right to respond , but it's not even a matter of a right to respond. This regime won't let up . It won't stop. Maybe because it fired ballistic missiles at a variety of Arab states and they got into the ear of the administration and said, Hey, what are we going to do about this Maybe that mattered. I don't know , but I'd like somebody to explain it. It's the same thing with these interviews, reporters asking the vice president and other people , is Israel aligned with us? Do we have the same interests? Well, sometimes we do, sometimes we don't, you know ? Do they ever ask that about Pakistan , Turkey, where Erdawan is a whackdrop? Do they? Do they ever ask it about Qatar , which pours four hundred billion dollars into our country to try to destabilize it. Do they ever ask it about Saudi Arabia that was behind nine hundred eleven? No. They never ask about those countries. Hey are we aligned with them? And yet it's my understanding that our government says we're best friends with all these countries and their dictatorial leaders. Okay, fine. It's a practical matter. I get it. No criticism, kinda , but I'm trying to figure it out and it's not so easy . Here's the president in the Oval Office today about Iran, cut one, go. Iran. You posted this morning about Iran and you said that they've taken too long to get to a deal. I want to make sure I quote you correctly. You said that now they will have to pay the price. What do you mean by that specific ? Well, we're going to be attacking them and attacking them very hard. You're resuming Yeah, well, we are based on a helicopter. I guess we have the right to do that. You know, they shut down a very incredible, actually an incredible machine. And at first they said they didn't do it, then they admitted they did it sort of easy because we have we have the bomb. We actually have the bomb. Got very lucky that bomb didn't explode. That bomb was lodged in the helicopter, it didn't explode. It was on fire but it, didn't explode. Those two guys they knew how to fly, but they got very lucky . And then we had the unmanned boat going very, very fast at speeds that you wouldn't want to go . That's why it's unmanned, I guess 'cause nobody can go with that, but they rescued so both people are fortunately the pilots are okay. No, no, I've been working with Iran for a number of months and they should sign that deal . It's a good deal. It doesn't give them the right to have a nuclear weapon. In fact, it totally prohibits them from ever having a nuclear weapon . And it was just tap, tap, tap. I don't know what they're doing . So they then shot out a shot at our helicopter, a very expensive helicopter, by the way, but much more importantly, the two men, fortunately, they're okay . But an amazing rescue, if you ever get a clip, you won't believe the rescue how cool it was . The equipment we have. Look, we have the strongest military in the world. All right, so here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to open the phone lines . We'll take calls in a little while . And I'd like you to explain why Israel was criticized forty eight hours ago for attacking Iran, its missile sites, its launch sites, some of its factory production sites for these ballistic missiles and so forth and pretty strongly criticized . And this is okay. Aren't both okay ? Aren't both the right things to do? That's my question to you. Let's go to Qato. Go. And I gave them a break at the request of Pakistan, the Philip Marshall and the premises Pakistan , the Muslim leadership there is no friend of ours . They're no friend of India's , either they are aligned with Russia for the most part and China . And the idea that they're great mediators with us in Iran, I think has helped delay this significantly , quite frankly , go ahead We stopped them from going to war with India. You would have had a nuclear war if it wasn't for me , but they became friendly to me, very friendly, and they live close to Iran and they work and they still are working on trying them to do what's right. But we want a deal that's meaningful. We want a deal that works. We don't want to just have a Barack Hussein Obama deal JCPOA, the worst deal. That was a path to a nuclear. It's the exact opposite I like on television say they should have kept that deal. First of all, it was over . It was a short term deal . That deal was a path to a nuclear weapon. This is a path against a nuclear you can't have a nuclear weapon. His was a path to a nuclear weapon. They were developing during his administration nuclear weapons. Central command just put out a statement that forces began launching additional self defense strikes. So maybe that's the key to calling them self defense strikes, Rich ? Additional self defense strikes today at five PM Eastern time against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief's decision me direction. The strikes are in response to Iran's unwarranted and continued aggression Okay , I'm agreeing with that one hundred percent . I'm agreeing with that one hundred percent . If you have a country that wants to defend itself against Iran's aggression, our common enemy, Iran Ran , I don't think you start hammering away at that country and their prime minister. I think we applaud it . Look, folks, if there's ever a deal, it's not going to last beyond the Trump presidency. If a Democrat comes in, they'll rip it up or they'll sabotage it . And I don't even see a Republican who would send in our military to enforce this or that or some other aspect of it. I really don' t . And that's been my position. It's consistent, private public, however you want to say. Mark in . 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 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 more at gardycar. com that's guard yourcar. com paid for by the Electronic Payments Coalition . The great one. Make sure we get even better . This is the best of Mark Levin . Well, we have a deal , I think , a deal before a deal. Remember, this deal is a memorandum of understanding of sorts for sixty days more of negotiation . Not a single person talking about this right now knows what's in the deal other than certain news reports on certain aspects that leaders are talking about, but none of us have seen it, none of us . I don't know who else has seen it . It's not been released yet . That tells me it hasn't been finalized yet because otherwise why not release it? I can't celebrate something I haven't read. Number two, that's number one . To me it's always been about enforcement And the question is an enforcement in the next year or two or three under the president , because I think he would enforce it. The question is the enforcement for, five, ten, fifteen years from now . That's the issue with me because we know that this regime is a terrorist regime. We know that it has never, never abided by a single agreement has ever signed of any kind . We know that after last June when we hit their nuclear sites, they immediately began rebuilding their nuclear program, rebuilding their ballistic missile program . And as I've said over and over and over again , even if they sign an agreement, and even if the agreement is the greatest of any agreement that's ever been written , they have no intention of complying with it because they can't . They exist they exist to destroy you and me. They exist to destroy the West. They exist to destroy any faith that isn't theirs and any Muslim that doesn't comply with their fundamentalist seventh century primitive ideology . That's why they kill their own people who dare to raise even questions and rape them and torture them. That's why they funded Hezbollah , which has killed our people as has Iran , our marines, our embassy personnel . That's why they have funded and supported Hamas . And the hooties . And we can go on and on, but why should I, you know exactly what I'm talking about ? So the question is what's in the deal , that would be helpful, don't you think, Mr. Peducer? And what's the enforcement mechanism ? And is it an enforcement mechanism that will be enforced against this enemy after the Trump presidency . We know if a Democrat's president, it won't be . In fact, they might rip up the whole deal . It should be a treaty, but it's not going to be treated as a treaty because the Obama deal wasn't treated as a treaty . Lindsey Graham, who so many of you get angry about , he has said it's a deal that needs to come before Congress. Graham is right . That's what the Constitution provides . The question is will it ? And remember, whatever we do or don't do will be noted by the Democrats and they'll do the same thing , especially if it means skirting the Constitution , okay ? So there's more to be done. Now this would be an MOU, a memorandum of understanding that requires, as I understand it, another sixty days of negotiation . We also read some reports indicating that many of the countries that were said to have agreed to it didn't even know that it was agreed to yet , including the state of Israel, including other states. It was negotiated by Qatar, I believe, as a mediator , Qatar that has spent four hundred billion dollars trying to undermine our country , undermine our educational system . To create all kinds of disunity in our country, they've been very effective at it . Pakistan has been involved . There are linre aligned with Saudi Arabia that was behind nine hundred eleven. They're aligned with Russia . I don't know why Turkey is a role in anything . Arrauana is a genocidal maniac who has an alliance of sorts with Iran , as Qatar does . So all this is going on. We'll be very interested in knowing the substance and seeing it , and even if it is the greatest deal of all deals of any deal in the history of deals , which would be great . I am telling you right now that the enemy will not comply with it in the end . And this is what troubles me . Putting everything else aside , I don't want our kids and grandkids. I don't want the next generation to have to deal with Iran that has ten thousand ballistic missiles and does in fact have the ability to put nuclear warheads on those ballistic missiles that will be able to reach our country. Maybe at some point hypersonic missil es. I don't know because this is a regime that will use them. The president has said it and the president is correct . And what I see here is this president unique from all the others before him , courageous beyond all the others before him has brought us to a point where we can destroy the regime In fact, the bombing of the last two nights demonstrated it, and you know it's interesting . The first night of bombing, Iran started firing ballistic missiles at some of the Arab countries, but it didn't fire any additional ballistic missiles at Israel. Why was that? Because they knew Netanyahu wouldn't stand for it . That's why . So here we have them over a barrel, so to speak . I know we're worried about the price of oil. I know we're worried about the stock market and all these other things . But what this demonstrated to me with the Israelis first and then us two knights in a row look how quickly we could bring them to their knees . Look how quickly And imagine if we were going to knock them out . Imagine if we were going to knock them out . And imagine if we armed the Iranian people. The president talks about the Kurds and he's not had very nice things to say about the Kurds . Well, armed the Iranian people, after half a century of having intelligence and working with other countries that have intelligence there , we know which Iranian people might want to be armed, it could coalesce . We might even know how to break into the army itself and create various factions. And I'm not talking about the IRC C , that's different. That's like the SS . And so people are talking about, isn't it great we have a deal? We don't even know what's in the deal . But from my perspective , the president will do what the president thinks is right . He's brought us to this point . I just feel like we've been on the five yard line for nine weeks . And to me, it underscores the fact that rather than the ceasefire, we should have continued, we should have finished them off. I'll be very curious to see how this MOU treats Hamas. If Hamas is brought within the MOU as Iran wants, then you know it's a complete loser deal . Hamas has killed our marines, our soldiers , embassy staff . You know, prior to nine eleven, Hamas was the biggest killer of Americans , period in terms of terror ism . Then Hamas is Iran . Hamas has destroyed Lebanon and Lebanese people . Want them out The Israelis want them out because they keep shooting missiles in Israel and killing their people . And of course the Iranians , the people, the people of Iran, they want them out too because they know this is the most important arm of the Iranian regime and they want it to survive through the process . So there's a lot to look for, there's a lot to talk about , but I stick to my basic premise . This regime cannot be trusted . And in the next five, ten, fifteen years it will break out . Prove me wrong . If I'm wrong, where's the evidence anywhere? That I'm wrong Where is the evidence anywhere that they will adhere to an agreement ? In the out years, certainly. Where is it? They're going to defy their own reason for existing , which is to impose their will, especially on the United States, the big Satan . They know we have election cycles. They know what the Democrats think . They know what isolationists think, what the Weasels think . They don't think we have the will to enforce. This certainly not after Trump. And I have to tell you, I don't think we do. Certainly the Democrats don't. They're busy nominating Nazis and Marxists and Islamists with ties to Al Qaeda. I mean, they're out of their mind. Mark in We're giving you nothing but the best , the best of Mark Levin. I may be viewed as a hawk today , but one day, whether I'm around or not , whether it matters or not, if remembered or not, I will be viewed as a dove because I am certain is not As night follows day , that Iran will violate the agreement . As night follows day , I'm certain it will violate the agreement . And if you think honestly and seriously and you're truthful to yourself, you know I'm right . So we all want to celebrate something we don't have the details about yet. I understand that . The stock market's up. Oil prices are going down, I suppose. I don't know, I guess . And those are good . But that's not the point, is it ? That would eventually come anyway, I would hope. History is a funny thing . The same window rarely opens twice . Do you understand what I mean by that? That means when there's a historic decision to make , you can go one way or another . And usually you get one chance . Those of you we had a caller last night that said, look, I don't want boots on the ground. We don't have boots on the ground in that respect. But if in seven or eight years this regime muscles up with the help of the communist Chinese and they'll help them with the help of the North Koreans and they will help them , with the help of the Russians, and they will help them , with the help of the Pakistanis, and they have helped them . They have seven, eight, nine, ten thousand ballistic missiles, imagine that can reach the continental United States. They already can reach every capital in Europe and we had underestimated that . And they have nuclear war heads . What the hell are our kids going to do? What the hell will our grandkids do? I'm just asking you what will they do ? This is the nightmare I fear the most. This is why I keep talking about this. The price of a gallon of gasoline, the stock market's up. The stock market goes up, the stock market goes down. The gasoline price goes up, the gasoline price goes down . What in the world is the next generation going to do ? When Communist China is on the move , that access is on the move . We've got these internal enemies that are weakening us from within. This is our generation that's responsible for stopping it, right What are we going to do ? And then the Iranians are armed up . What do you know? They lied . And what do you know? The Democrat president or some Republican president for that matter didn't take the steps necessary to stop them What do you know ? I know enough about history to know that for a relative ly long period of time Winston Churchill in his own words, was in the wilderness, the political wilderness, the governmental wilderness . He'd made some mistakes as a minister But he repeatedly made the point . He saw the Third Reich Elioni, saw Hitler earli said they're building up . They're a threat to the continent. No, no, what the hell's wrong with you, Winston His party didn't take them seriously . You blew it before. We don't want to hear from you now . You know how articulate Churchill was? He was writing, he was speaking, he wasn't silent, but he was dismissed . He was dismissed . Neville Chamberlain was very smooth talker , considered a great diplomat . And when he came back with that peace agreement with Hitler and peace in our time and waved it around , he was celebrated celebrated And Hitler was the only one not celebrating him, him and a few others and said no, no . Do you understand what you've done? rather than our country getting on a war footing and building up our military and our defenses , we're hiding behind this piece of paper Hiding behind this piece of paper. Now here's the thing, Iran is not Germany . It's not Japan. It's not Italy. It's not as strong as any of those countries were . But nuclear missiles , that's the great equalizer . So we've made the effort and correctly so militarily to attack . And we took out their navy. We and the Israelis, we took out their air force, we and the Israelis . Now there's more to do. Obviously, we hit the brakes after two or three weeks , we wanted to see if we could negotiate a deal . It was a two week ceasefire that went to nine weeks, so it wasn't really a ceasefire because there's a lot of shooting going on , especially from Hezbollah into Israel . And we can get into that later or another day. Long story short, this has been a hell of a week . First, the Israelis , and we admonished them. Eleven ballistic missiles shot into Israel , and we disparaged the prime minister and Israel for doing it. They shoot down one of our helicopters and they pay a heavy, heavy price . Well, why is that ? Well, that for another day too, because there's something wrong with that Both should have been supported . Both . Now we were going to bomb Iran again tonight and tonight in Iran it is approximately twelve forty one in the morning And literally, within a few hours of making that proclamation , we have a deal for a memorandum of understanding , which we haven't seen yet is the public. And I don't think other countries have seen they',ve been briefed on it . The fact is we can destroy this regime if we want to. It's not Germany . It's not Imperial Japan . It's not Stalin and the Soviet Union. It's not China, Mao or g . It's already on its back . It's already on its back. The military activity we undertook was not intended to destroy it, it was intended to bring it back to the table and get them to sign a deal . Whereas I have felt the continuing military operation should be not to get them back to sign a deal , but to destroy them or an unconditional surrender . But that's not the way it's playing out, is it? And what I'm saying is the next generation, our children will not have this opportunity . It won't happen again . I'm not a warmonger. I'm quite the opposite . I'm worried deeply about bigger wars with bigger weapons and a draft in which our children or grandchildren will have to go overseas and fight them when we have them exactly where we want right now . I'm telling you the truth . And this is my great concern . President Trump today cut two, and I don't think we did cut two, did we, Rich Katu go. mister President, on Iran, how confident are you that there will be a signing this weekend because you have come close to sealing a deal that at the last minute it hasn't called in the past. Now's what interesting about this question? My first question would be, when are we going to see the details of the deal? If you're a reporter, aren't you curious about that ? Aren't you curious about it, folks? Go ahead . Maybe this weekend . And has the Supreme Leader approved the deal, sir? I understand the answer is yes . And when the and when the deal is signed, is the United States going to immediately lift the blockade? Yes, that's true. That's part of the deal We will have oil prices dropping like a rug. And sir, have you actually secured but hold on now when you do that that, means I assume that the oil that Iran will be free to sell the oil too, right? Unless there's some restriction. Again, I want to see the details, but I assume that's case. So they'll immediately have hundreds of millions of dollars a day flowing into the regime. You understand? Go ahead. The discussions about the nuclear material and the nuclear negotiations. conceptually on that and nobody's getting close to it because it's buried under a mountain base basically. There's B two bombers . Okay, slow down now . Now I don't know what that means, but that sounds like we're not going to go in and get it because it's buried from the B two bombers before. So that's interesting to me . We used to talk about going in and getting the nuclear dust, right, Rich? Well, maybe we're not . I don't know, I don't know the details, but I'm listening to the response. Go ahead. Iran committed to not pursuing a nuclear weapon or will there be more negotiations on that downward? They will not have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that. There will be no which is the whole reason which is a big part of the reason they will not only not have, they will not purchase devel orop in any way any shape , in any way, shape, or form a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear weapon . Well, unfortunately, hindsight is called hindsight for a reason . We'll see about that
